there’s geography. His daughter feels safer in Sweden than in the United States, at least partially because of the violence in Dallas, Baton Rouge and Minnesota.

Really? Safer than in northern Michigan, which is further away from Dallas and Baton Rouge than Stockholm is from Ansbach, Paris or Brussels and no closer to Minnesota than Sweden is to Germany?

Did Smith miss recent supremely violent events in those places? Alrighty then!

Then Smith sees hope in a Supreme Court that finds it acceptable that abortion clinics be held to lower sanitary and safety regulations than those that govern hospitals. Very broad-minded of him.

And of course, more hope from a favorable Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage.

I happen to support gay marriage and have no problem with that decision. But the more strident of the gay marriage supporters (a quite large numbers, it seems) can’t quite accept that legal victory without also trying to crush the freedom of that segment of the Christian universe who disagrees with it. One might infer that Smith agrees with aggression against those Christians even from the hypocrites who do so while unself-consciously sporting a “Co-Exist” sticker on their vehicles.

but appeals may leave them in effect and able to distort November’s election results.

Voter suppression is basically a strategy to steal elections. But it also speaks pointedly to groups of American citizens, saying, “Your vote is not needed. You don’t count.” The strategy thumbs its nose at that well-known passage in the Declaration of Independence: “Governments (derive) their just powers from the consent of the governed.”

upcoming issues

The issue is not whether Republicans can or cannot try to suppress votes. Republican leadership has chosen that strategy.

fall fashion

The question is whether other Americans will continue to support that strategy with our votes. Do you feel comfortable looking another American in the eye and saying, “I don’t want you to vote. And I’m doing what I can to see that you don’t?”

Patrick Sullivan’s good story on parking overlooked one source of “free parking” that has become an increasing problem in Traverse City: spill-over into adjacent neighborhoods. Instead of discouraging people from bringing cars downtown, we’re allowing them to park on both sides of narrow residential streets all day long. This is not only frustrating for homeowners but (ironically) discourages bicycling, which has become almost impossible in some areas since both street and sidewalk are off limits.

In 2013, five Supreme Court justices, each appointed by Republican presidents, knocked the teeth out of the Voting Rights Act. Immediately a majority of Republicandominated states began passing laws aimed at suppressing the votes of their majority Democrat demographics: minorities, students and the elderly. These laws – requiring voter IDs, cutting early voting, eliminating same-day registration, closing selected polling places, banning straightticket voting, etc. — never flat-out deny a person’s right to vote; they just make actual registering and voting more difficult, and therefore make it more likely that individuals in certain groups will not vote.

Think of voter suppression as a kind of reverse marketing strategy, one aimed at getting people not to do something.

I don’t shop in downtown Traverse City anymore. It’s not a personal conviction or political statement. It happened little by little.

When I run errands, the last place I think to go is downtown, and there is only one reason: parking. Downtown parking makes shopping too time consuming and expensive.

Strangely enough, I spend a lot of time downtown. At least a few times a week I take my dog for a walk through downtown, but that’s not shopping. We park, free, on the street in a neighborhood and stroll through downtown and to the bay and back in the course of our twoto three-mile route. When my activity includes walking, it’s no trouble at all to park far away and walk to my destination. While I’m on these walks, I pass several stores that sell products I will end up buying later, somewhere else. I don’t want to schlep purchases a half-mile back to my car. I’ve literally stopped at Meijer, after a walk downtown, to run in and buy a few things before I head home.

If I have an hour to kill, I often park at the boat launch by the marina to look for an interesting photograph or just enjoy the view of the bay. I take clients there for photographs. I’m at that waterfront often. Other than dropping $1 in the

can grow, make parking more complicated, and collect more money. It‘s not clear how this helps the downtown.

On its website, Traverse City Parking Services claims the two parking decks offer “the most affordable parking rates in town!” Pretty funny, since it controls all the parking in town and sets the rates. It can cost up to $10 a day to park in the “affordable” parking deck. Why would anyone take 30 minutes to park in the “affordable” Hardy Parking Deck and walk a block to the new 4Front Credit Union, when three blocks west on Front Street, Huntington Bank has free parking in a lot by its front door? Overpriced parking might work in big cities where the nearest alternatives are 10 or more miles away.

But in Traverse City, alternatives are minutes away. The DDA doesn’t care; it has a great little business going.

No one needs to go downtown anymore.

DDA leadership has turned downtown into a place primarily for entertainment. We have great restaurants, some excellent brewpubs, and unique specialty shops that can bring in tourists. All the political support for local commerce and small business will not overcome the obstacles of inconvenience

Parking should be a service businesses offer customers in order to facilitate easy access to spending. Not in downtown Traverse City, where parking is a business. meter, I don’t spend a penny. It would be easy to laugh at my strange behavior or call me lazy.

But I’m not. There are many people just like me, and Traverse City’s Downtown Development Authority, which controls our parking money, has shaped our actions.

Parking should be a service businesses offer customers in order to facilitate easy access to spending. Stores and malls maintain their free parking lots for the convenience of their customers. Not in downtown Traverse City, where parking is a business. Traverse City’s DDA has lost sight of its original reason for existence: to bring customers downtown.

Instead it has become a force unto itself. Its staff is influenced by political ideas that see cars — the things that bring people to downtown — as a problem. Parking, the DDA claims, should have a price to encourage people to use mass transportation. That logic only works if there isn’t easy, convenient, free parking somewhere else. Under the auspice of creating a community virtue, the DDA slowly made parking more and more expensive and less and less available.

The authorization path is a web to be unfolded.

Traverse City Parking Services runs the parking lots and collect from the meters. All the money goes into its budget. But TC Parking is not an independent organization. It is a department of the Downtown Development Authority, which is already funded by property taxes captured throughout downtown. The City of Traverse City contracts parking services to the DDA, and the city receives 10 percent of the parking revenue back for its general fund. The other 90 percent of the money collected for parking goes to fund the parking empire itself. We’re paying so much to park so that the DDA’s Parking Services

and expense. No new downtown business has generated the sort of excitement as the announcement of Costco opening near the airport. Costco will bring in people from other counties on a regular basis, people who otherwise might only come downtown once or twice a year for a night out. Costco will have lots of free parking.

The DDA’s parking decisions do not bring business to downtown. Its actions are often directly contrary to the businesses that created it. The DDA pushed hard to raise its already affordable! parking rates during peak visitor times. It has identified the few customers who don’t have an alternative. Starting with this Cherry Festival, parking will go to a flat, inflated fee whenever the DDA thinks it can get away with a rate hike. But it is taking that windfall from downtown merchants. When the DDA charges $15 for a $4 parking spot, it is making it less likely that those tourists will have an extra $5 for an ice cream cone. The DDA doesn’t care; it took its cut before the visitors even got out of their cars.

The DDA no longer supports the local merchants that need sustaining local customers to shop downtown all year long. The DDA’s misguided political hostility toward automobiles and its shortsighted need to squeeze every dollar out of visitors through the Traverse City Parking Service are working against the people who keep downtown thriving.

top five 1 Visions For The Boardman

elk rapids harbor days

There were two takeaways from a recent open house to gather input on a “water trail” for the Boardman River.

The more natural upper section of the river, south of South Airport Road, should probably be left alone for the time being, said Harry Burkholder, executive director of the Land Information Access Association.

But there are lots of things that could be done to improve the lower section, between South Airport and West Grand Traverse Bay, he said.

That section should have more public launches and paddlers need a portage to get around the Union Street dam in Traverse City. The stretch could feature markers to tell the city’s history and the role the river played.

The Boardman River and Boardman Lake are under-appreciated and underused; Boardman Lake is unfairly perceived as industrial and polluted, Burkholder said.

“Right now, the river as it goes through town, it’s really ignored,” he said.

“The water trial has the capacity to change the image of Boardman Lake and the Boardman River.”

bottomsup Tequila Flights at Red Mesa Grill Tequila (and its smokier cousin, mezcal) is enjoying a major resurgence in popularity in U.S. mixology circles. Fortunately for northern Michigan fans, one of the biggest tequila lists in the state is available at Boyne City and Traverse City’s Red Mesa Grill.

The locally owned Latin American chain features a tequila list with over 150 varietals, including several dozen 100 percent blue agave tequilas, such as Don Julio 1942 and Herradurra Suprema. The extensive length of the list may be daunting at first, which is why the restaurant’s flight option is an excellent way to start exploring.

To experience the subtle differences in progression between blanco (unaged), reposado (aged less than one year) and anejo (aged one to three years) tequila, try a flight of one specific varietal in all three states of aging. Or, pick one age (anejo is smoothest) and cross-compare different brands. The endless mix-and-match options — including several mezcal varieties - provide plenty of incentive for repeat visits. www.redmesagrill.com - Beth Milligan

Curtain Rises In Harbor

For the first time since 1981, curtains will rise at the Lyric Theater in Harbor Springs.

The venue opened in a new location at 275 East Main Street with a matinee showing of Oklahoma July 27.

The nonprofit theater is actually a triplex, capable of showing three films at a time — they’ve got screening rooms that seat 200, 40 and 22 patrons.

Regular classic movie matinees are planned as well as a slate of popular and art house offerings. In its first week, the Lyric’s showings include Love and Friendship, The Man Who Knew Infinity, Finding Dory and Jason Bourne.

ELECTIONS AND CONVENTIONS spectator by stephen tuttle There is a primary election here on Tuesday.

Now we’ll see if the chronic complainers become actual voters.

Two years ago, about 19 percent of Michiganders bothered to show up, a pathetic performance by any standard. Grand Traverse County did a little better at 23 percent, and our friends in Charlevoix County turned out more than 41 percent of their voters. And good for them.

It’s not as if there are no good reasons to vote.

There was even a group demanding the government reveal the aliens they’ve been hiding out at Area 51.

There are contested primaries at the federal, state and local levels. There are even some contested races and a millage in Grand Traverse County, tucked in among all the unopposed folks.

And, of course, the Bernie Sanders supporters were there, even more outraged than ever after the WikiLeaks release of hacked emails from the Democratic National Committee.

These choices matter. People we nominate and ultimately elect will decide how we finance our public schools, prioritize building and fixing our roads, whether or not we protect our environment, how much tax we pay and how it gets used, how we address public safety issues, who can vote and where, protections or lack thereof for the LGBT community, workplace salary equity, and any issue I’ve omitted that you believe is important.

We’re energized when it comes to our issues but remarkably apathetic when it comes to something as simple as voting.

On the other hand, if you just can’t summon up the wherewithal to get out and vote, that’s all right too. We voters will be happy to make those decisions for you. But no sniveling about the results.

Meanwhile, the Democratic National Convention is underway as this is being written. Seriously, did you really think the Democrats would be better organized and smoother than the Republicans? If so, you haven’t been paying very close attention to Democrats.

The GOP is ideologically driven — or at least it was until their current nominee popped up. Smaller government, lower taxes and a strong military were the conservative’s calling cards: always there, always reliable.

Democrats, on the other hand, are more like a collection of feuding clans who get together every four years to air their grievances. And everybody has a grievance.

Did you see the opening day protests?

MEET, DINE, BOWL 116 WAUKAZOO ST. 231-386-1061 WWW.TUCKERSNP.COM

6 • august 1, 2016 • Northern Express Weekly

The anti-GMO crowd was there, too, nobly protecting our food supply, or so they believe. The folks against the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal were there with plenty of venom. The now ubiquitous Black Lives Matter protesters were there, and a smaller Blue Lives Matter group also showed up. Abortion rights, LGBT rights, animal rights, children’s rights ... they were all there.

It was supposedly an environmental theme (only Democrats have themed protests), and it would appear the protesters were against oil, coal, natural gas, pipelines, fracking, nuclear power, automobiles, and everything else other than sunlight and wind.

But no protest march at which television cameras are present can restrict Democrats to a single issue. Not even close.

What was surprising was that anyone was surprised. Part of Sanders’ non-stop assault on the “establishment” included hammering the leadership of the DNC. Not exactly shocking they’d want somebody else deciding their future.

These kinds of internecine squabbles are standard fare for Democrats. Eight years ago Clinton supporters were in high dudgeon over all manner of perceived offenses.

(If you want to see the Super Bowl of all dysfunctional conventions, go online and check out the 1968 Democratic melee in Chicago. They don’t make conventions like that anymore.)

The GOP had plagiarism, the non-endorsement by Ted Cruz, and the daffy Donald Trump speech. Dems had protesters of all sorts, including a group of “Bernie or Bust” fans unwilling to acknowledge numerical reality.

Both parties claim their conventions are an opportunity to demonstrate their great unity when in reality they always demonstrate rich and oftentimes deep divisions.

It makes perfect sense those divisions should exist. The needs of, say, Laramie, Wyo., might not be the same as Wyoming, Mich. Democrats and Republicans in California are not the philosophical twins of Democrats and Republicans in South Carolina.

Party unity is mythological, a hoax perpetrated by party leaders in an effort to make us think it’s real and important. They don’t realize most of us no longer think the parties themselves are especially relevant; we don’t care if they’re unified or not.

This quadrennial carnival called a party convention has mostly outlived its usefulness.

We already know who the nominee is going to be, we don’t really care about the platform, we don’t listen to the endless, mostly dreadful speeches, and we aren’t even much amused by the protests and nonsense.

The political world already has enough insult hurling and magical thinking. The conventions poorly combine both. They should adjourn, permanently.

Crime & Rescue DEATH IN A RENTAL CAR When one speeding car overtook another on a rural Antrim County road, the driver of the slower vehicle feared something bad was about to happen.

The driver continued along Northwest Torch Lake Drive to the dead-end past Indian Road to make sure the other driver was okay and they discovered the car had crashed head-on into a tree at 6:43pm July 26.

The witnesses called 911 but the vehicle was soon engulfed in flames and they could not save the driver, Undersheriff Dean Pratt said.

Investigators were attempting to verify the identity of the victim, who was the lone occupant of a 2016 Toyota Camry rental car.

CHARGES: MAN CAUSED CRASH A 24-year-old Traverse City man is accused of grabbing a steering wheel in anger while his girlfriend was driving and crashing their car into a telephone pole.

Garrett Jayson Savercool faces charges of reckless driving causing a serious bodily impairment and second offense domestic violence stemming from the July 3 crash. He was arraigned as a three-time habitual offender July 26 and faces up to 10 years if he’s convicted.

The crash occurred on South Airport Road after Savercool allegedly slapped his girlfriend. One of two female backseat passengers was seriously injured in the crash. She suffered a scar across her forehead, could not open her eyes for several days and broke her wrist, according to the charges.

Savercool fled before Grand Traverse County Sheriff’s deputies arrived to investigate the crash.

PICKUP DRIVER WANTED Police are looking for the driver of a pickup who struck a bicyclist in Grand Traverse County.

Sheriff’s deputies say the 43-year-old bike rider was struck and injured by the truck’s rearview mirror as he traveled on the shoulder of Hoch Road in Blair Township at 7pm July 25.

The bicyclist’s injuries were minor and he did not require medical attention.

Investigators want to talk to the driver of the pickup, which is believed to be a 1999-2007 full size Ford pickup, possibly F250 or F350 XLT/ Lariat. The vehicle may be missing a passenger side mirror. Anyone with information should call (231) 922-4770, ext. 5971.

MAN DIES IN CAR FIRE An Otsego County man was watching television when he heard a car crash outside, ran outside with a fire extinguisher and attempted to douse a blazing vehicle fire.

The man emptied the fire extinguisher before the fire could be suppressed, however, and the person inside the vehicle died, state police said.

The crash occurred on Meecher Road in Livingston Township at 11:23pm July 26. The loan occupant of the car, who was pronounced dead at the scene, was not identified.

MACKINAC RACE CREW RESCUED The crew of a Northport-based sailboat taking part in the Chicago Yacht Club’s Chicago-toMackinac sailboat race was saved as the vessel sank in the Manitou Passage.

The 48-foot WhoDo took on water after the boat’s rudder shaft broke between the hull and the deck at 2:50pm July 24. The crew radioed the U.S. Coast Guard and all 10 crewmembers safely boarded a life raft.

Two racing sailboats came to the aid of the crew, the Heartbreaker and the City Girl. The City Girl dropped out of the race to transport the crew to Leland, according to a race press release.

MAN FOUND DEAD IN LAKE A 19-year-old man is believed to have drowned in Crawford County.

Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to Staley Lake in Grayling Township to look for the man July 23 at 5:50pm.

The search turned up the man but he was deceased, Sheriff Kirk Wakefield said. He said it appears the man drowned.

CHILD CRITICALLY INJURED A 12-year-old was critically injured when he ignored a stop sign while driving a dirt bike in Manistee County.

State police were called to High Bridge Road at the intersection of Cedar Creek Road July 23 at 6pm where a youth from South Elgin, Ill. failed to stop at an intersection and drove into a vehicle hauling a boat. He struck the boat, injuring his head and leg.

The boy was taken to West Shore Medical Center and then flown to Helen Devos Children’s Hospital in Grand Rapids.

FACEBOOK POST LEADS TO ARREST Someone in Maryland noticed a Facebook post from a woman in Traverse City who reported that she had been beaten and choked by her husband.

The Facebook user contacted Traverse City Police, who tracked the woman down at a home on Boon Street and found the husband a few blocks away at 2:30am July 14, Chief Jeffrey O’Brien said.

The 50-year-old suspect was arrested for domestic violence. He has been married to his 31-year-old wife for nine years.

Murrell was driving on M-119 in Bear Creek Township at 9:39pm when he crossed the centerline and crashed into a vehicle driven by 53-year-old Jeffrey Dawes. A passenger in that vehicle, 38-year-old Lorri Dawes, was airlifted to Munson Medical Center where she died two days later, Sheriff Pete Wallin said.

Two children in the Dawes’ vehicle, ages 12 and 14, were also injured.

CHARGES IN FATAL CRASH Police say a 26-year-old Alanson man was drunk when he crossed the centerline and caused a crash that killed a Grand Rapids woman.

Nickalas Murrell faces 12 criminal charges stemming from the July 23 crash, including operating while intoxicated causing death, operating while intoxicated causing serious injury and six counts of resisting and obstructing police.

Trompe l’Oeil Jungle A conservation biologist at Australia’s University of New South Wales said in July that his team was headed to Botswana to paint eyeballs on cows’ rear ends. It’s a solution to the problem of farmers who are now forced to kill endangered lions to keep them away from their cows. However, the researchers hypothesize, since lions hunt by stealth and tend to pass up kills if the prey spots them, painting on eyeballs might trick the lions to choose other prey. (For the same reason, woodcutters in India wear masks painted with faces -- backward -- for protection against tigers.)

“Big Porn” Gives Back (1) In June, the online mega-website Pornhub announced a program to help blind pornography consumers by adding 50 “described videos” to its catalog, with a narrator doing play-by-play of the setting, the actors, clothing (if any) and the action.

Said a Pornhub vice president, “It’s our way of giving back.” (2) Later in June, another pornography website (with a frisky name -- see bit.ly/29O4G9UURL) inaugurated a plan to donate a penny to women’s health or abuse prevention organizations every time a user reached a successful “ending” while viewing its videos (maximum two per person per day). Its first day’s haul was $39, or $13 for each of three charities (including the Mariska Hargitay-supported Joyful Heart Foundation).

Can’t Possibly Be True -- A Government Program That Actually Works: A motorist in Regina, Saskatchewan, was issued a $175 traffic ticket on June 8 after he pulled over to ask if he could assist a homeless beggar on the sidewalk. According to the police report cited by CTV News, the “beggar” was actually a cop on stakeout looking for drivers not wearing seat belts (who would thus pay the city $175). Driver Dane Rusk said he had unbuckled his belt to lean over in the seat to give the “beggar” $3 -- and moments later, the cop’s partner stopped Rusk (thus earning Regina a total of $178!).

-- One of America’s major concerns, according to a U.S. congressman, should be the risk that if an apocalyptic event occurs and we are forced to abandon Earth with only a few species to provide for humanity’s survival, NASA might unwisely populate the space “ark” with same-sex couples instead of procreative male-female pairs. This warning was conveyed during the U.S. House session on May 26 by Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert (who seemed not to be aware that gay males might contribute sperm to lesbians for species-continuation).

What Goes Around, Comes Around (1) In May, the Times of India reported the death of a man known only as Urjaram, in Rajasthan, India, when, while hosting a party, he forgot that while he was enjoying himself, he had left his camel in the sun all day (during a historic heat wave) with its legs tied together. When Urjaram finally went outside, the enraged camel “lifted him by the neck,” “threw him to the ground” and “chewed on his body,” severing his head.

(2) The thief who ransacked a community greenhouse in County Durham, England,

in July got away, but, according to residents, among his bounty was a bottle of rum that is usually offered only as a constipation remedy, in that it contained a heavy dose of the aggressive laxative “lactulose.” Said one resident, “Maybe (the thief has) left a trail” for the police.

Suspicions Confirmed Many website and app users are suspected of “agreeing” to privacy policies and “terms of service” without comprehending them (or even reading them), though most judges routinely assume the user to have consented to be bound by them. In a controlledtest report released in July, researchers from York University and University of Connecticut found that 74 percent skipped the privacy policy altogether, but, of the “readers,” the average time spent was 73 seconds (for wordage that should have taken 30 minutes), and time “reading” terms of service was 51 seconds when it should have taken 16 minutes.

Latest Rights Air Force Col. Eugene Caughey is scheduled for court-martial in August in Colorado Springs, Colorado, charged with six counts of adultery (a violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice) -- which he alleges constitutes illegal discrimination because he is heterosexual.

That is, only heterosexuals can have the “sexual intercourse” required for adultery since the UCMJ defines the term as between a man and a woman; same-sex pairs cannot have “sexual intercourse.” (Even if Caughey prevails on the discrimination issue, he faces other, more serious charges that may bring him life in prison.)

Leading Economic Indicators -- Update: News of the Weird reported in 2007 and 2014 that, despite the abundant desert, Middle East developers were buying plenty of beach sand from around the world (because the massive concrete construction in Dubai and Saudi Arabia, among other places, requires coarser sand than the desert grains tempered for centuries by sun and wind).

The need has now grown such that London’s The Independent reported in June that black market gangs, some violent, are stealing beach sand -- and that two dozen entire islands in Indonesia have virtually disappeared since 2005 because of sand-mining.

Wealthy Chinese men in Hong Kong and Shanghai may pay the equivalent of $50,000 a pound for the “caterpillar fungus,” and about a million Nepalese are involved in the industry, producing about 135 tons a year. (The fungus is from the head of ghost moth larvae living in soil at altitudes of more than 10,000 feet.)

AN EXTRA DIME FOR EVERY LUNCH

It might sound like peanuts, but a 10-cent-per-meal program to get local foods into school lunches stands to bring major benefits to the region’s farmers and students

M

By Patrick Sullivan

ore local food will be on the menu at schools this fall since the state expanded a Traverse City-based program that adds up to 10 additional cents per lunch to provide local fruits and vegetables in school lunches.

Launched in 2013 by Groundwork Center for Resilient Communities and its partners to promote the farm-to-school movement in the northwest lower Michigan region, the program’s success recently caught the eye of a legislator who wanted to expand it.

One dime per meal might sound like peanuts, but it can have a drastic impact on the quality of food and on the local farm economy, said Diane Conners, a Groundwork senior policy specialist. Consider that the amount spent on food for each school lunch is just $1.20, and that of that amount, roughly 20 or 30 cents goes toward fruits and vegetables. That means a 10-cent increase to each meal’s fruit and vegetable budget boosts that budget by 33 to 50 percent — offering a tasty opportunity for school, farmers, and students.

“This has provided enough funding for [schools] that they now will try things like the romanesco and kale,” Conners said.

“They’ll do taste tests with the kids and see if they like it, where they might not have taken that risk before.”

KIDS BUYING KALE CHIPS If you are 50 or 40, or even 30 years old, you probably wouldn’t recognize a modern school cafeteria meal.

“I mean, we hear that all the time: ‘I never got anything like this. This is amaz-

In many cases, the good eating habits acquired by the student spreads to the parents, who often learn of foods they haven’t tried; the schools also help parents who might be unfamiliar with, say, parsnips, learn how to prepare them.

“The children have a lot to do with the purchasing of groceries. When they go in, and they say, ‘Hey mom, I want the kale chips at home,’ they actually start to change

“The children have a lot to do with the purchasing of groceries.

When they go in, and they say, ‘Hey mom, I want the kale chips at home,’ they actually start to change the diets of the adults by bringing the fresh fruits and vegetables in because they like to eat them,” Freitus said. ing what you guys serve,’” said Tom Freitas, food service director at Traverse City Area Public Schools.

Freitas arrived at TCAPS four years ago from a school district in Ohio, where he met kids who had never eaten fresh versions of some common foods.

“They’d take a bite of a peach, and they’d wonder what that thing inside was,” Freitas said.

“That same thing would happen here if you didn’t have this program.”

the diets of the adults by bringing the fresh fruits and vegetables in because they like to eat them,” Freitus said.

There’s an education component too; the farm-to-school program at TCAPS incorporates workers from FoodCorp workers, a spinoff of AmeriCorps. The young advocates help to develop lessons that use local foods as teaching tools.

The Traverse Bay Area Intermediate School District partners with Groundwork in administering the AmeriCorp program.

Catherine Meyer-Looze, a TBAISD instructional specialist, said curriculum can be designed around local food by teaching nutrition in science class or through calculating recipes in math class or by talking about the state’s agricultural history in social studies.

IT’S GOING TO BE A WHIRLWIND The impetus for the 10-cent-per-meal program came from the Michigan Good Food Charter, a collaboration of the Michigan State University Center for Regional Food Systems, the Food Bank Council of Michigan, and the Michigan Food Policy Council, which, beginning in 2009, looked at how to improve the state’s food system as a whole.

The collaboration inspired Groundwork to raise money for a local program, which, once it got going, caught the eye of Sen. Darwin Booher (R-Evart), who proposed the legislation that passed in June.

“Being a farmer, I said, ‘Why can’t we just do this, use the local farmers?” Booher said.

“It’s great for our children to have these kind of fresh foods and vegetables coming right from our local farmers.”

Booher’s legislation appropriates up to $250,000; schools in 10 northern Lower Michigan counties and 13 western Michigan counties can now apply for grants.

One drawback: The legislation didn’t leave a lot of time for all of the paperwork

schools need to complete to apply — everything has to happen before the start of the 2016-2017 school year.

“It’s going to be sort of a whirlwind,” Conners said. “It will be a quick turnaround time for food service directors to apply for funding, and then an advisory council from the Michigan Department of Education will review the applications and determine who can be part of the pilot program.”

In addition to improving the fruit and vegetable options for students, Conners said the 10-cent-per-meal program helps farmers because it ensures a steady market; the promise of state grant money makes it unlikely the schools will cut the local matching funds.

“It has helped farmers know that schools are serious about this,” Conners said. “Farmers for so long were just cut out of serving schools. So when farmers heard that schools were interested in buying local, that was a big deal.”

A POTATO FOR EVERY CHILD The local food revolution started at TCAPS long before the 10-cent-per-meal program arrived.

Conners began promoting farm-toschool a dozen years ago. She and Groundwork (then called the Michigan Land Use Institute) started by bringing farmers to Traverse City’s Central Grade School.

“We had one farmer a week in October come in to have their products served in the lunch room, and then they would be out in the school garden at recess to meet the kids,” Conners said.

The program was a hit. By letting the kids interact with the farmer, it spurred their interest and prompted some to try foods they otherwise would have avoided.

“We had a great experience. Like with Jim Bardenhagen, a potato farmer from Leelanau County,” Conners said. “Jim’s potatoes were served in the potato bar as a hot entree alternative that day to pizza … And twice as many kids as usual picked the alternative hot entree over pizza.”

For Conners, having a locally grown vegetable (even if it was a potato) beat out pizza (even if it was just some of the kids) was a win. Word spread, and farm-to-school events spread to other TCAPS cafeterias.

Bardenhagen recalls meeting with the kids and taking a bite out of a raw potato for their amusement. He said the farm-to-school experiment started slowly, but it’s become a big part of the region’s farm economy.

“It was kind of just a trial to see how it

would work and see if the school would allow it to happen,” he said. “We didn’t move a lot of product at the time, but it was an opening to the future. It kind of opened the door.”

MILLIONS OF DOLLAR OF POTENTIAL Northwest lower Michigan’s economy already has benefited from the farm-to-school push and the 10-cent-per-meal program.

Conners said the program opens up a deceptively large market to farmers.

“Schools don’t have as much money to spend as a four-star restaurant on ingredients, but they’re often the biggest restaurant in the region,” she said. “They can be a stable market for farmers, as long as the farmers know that they’re really serious about it.”

The new state pilot will provide a match of up to 10 cents a meal for schools buying Michigan-grown fruits and vegetables for an average of three meals a week in fall, two meals a week in winter, and one meal a week in spring.

Even at that amount, Conners said the program could have a massive impact on the development of food businesses around the state.

There were 128 million lunches served in schools during the 2015–2016 school year.

If the program were expanded statewide, it would mean $10,240,000 spent on local food. If it were expanded to every school day, more than twice that amount would be spent on local food.

Kelly Lively, policy and outreach partner at Traverse City’s Cherry Capital Foods, a local and Michigan foods distributor, said the expansion of the 10-centper-meal program throughout northwestern Michigan is exciting.

“It’s a chunk of the state where there’s a lot of agriculture, so it will be interesting to see how it moves,” Lively said. “It could be a game changer.”

LOCAL FOOD AND SNOW DAYS Conners targeted TCAPS for farm-toschool programs around the same time that a new dietician began work at the district, one determined to make the menu more nutritious.

“We decided as a district, and as a department, we would pursue more fruits and vegetables, some more whole grains,” said Jodi Jocks, who has been TCAP’s dietician for 11 years. “We did it slowly, so it wasn’t the shock to the system that some of the other schools have had.”

Jocks and Conners’ missions have been complementary.

Jocks said the effort to introduce more local food goes hand-in-hand with the move toward better nutrition. She said the 10-cent-per-meal program has helped a lot.

“It kind of offsets the cost of local,” Jocks said. “It’s kind of like when you go to the farmers market — it costs more than what you would pay at the grocery store.”

Local also means the food spends less time on the road, which reduces its carbon footprint, is fresher, and tastes better when served than food trucked in from long distances over many days.

There is another surprising advantage that comes from the 10-cent program. It helps cafeteria budgets overcome the jolt that comes from too many snow days.

Snow days strain cafeterias’ budgets because a school day means the loss of a day’s sales. The cafeteria doesn’t get reimbursed for the money kids would have spent on food, and schools don’t receive funds for free and reduced lunches.

“Your food is your inventory, so you’ve bought that food, and you plan to have it on your menu,” Jocks said. “If you have a snow day, you don’t serve that food. In the world of food and education, people don’t think of it like that, but you have to do something with that food that you’ve bought.”

Frietas hopes to see the 10-cent per meal program spread through the state.

“I’d like to think it’s going to be nonpartisan because it’s going to help all voters of Michigan,” he said. “It’s a win-win for everybody — for the economy, for the farmers, for the students, for the schools.”

NOT YOUR TYPICAL LUNCH LADY Boyne Falls Public School plans to ap-

ply for the 10-cent-per-meal program. The school has been dedicated to local food for four years, since the district hired a trained chef to run its cafeteria.

“I’m not your typical lunch lady — I worked in fine dining for almost 20 years,” said Nathan Bates, food service director at Boyne Falls. Bates is a culinary school grad who decided to make a change when he heard the district wanted someone who could integrate local foods into cafeteria fare.

“I was just at a point in my life where I was done with restaurants,” he said. “So I did it, and it’s changed my life, and it’s great.”

Bates said the district is committed to local food and to applying for any grant money that’s available to improve the nutrition for students. In four years he’s already added lots of fruits and vegetables to the salad bar.

Next school year, with the 10-cent-per-meal funds, Bates hopes to start purchasing local proteins.

“These are things that schools typically can’t afford,” he said. “We can with farm-toschool money. We’re going to spend it directly on the food.”

Bates works with local farms like Spirit of Walloon Farms, whose farmer he texts back and forth with each Sunday to determine what’s available and what he could use.

“Pea shoots were huge this winter,” Bates said. “They love them.”

The difference between school cafeteria lunches today and decades ago is “night and day,” he said. “There’s a lot more focus on the healthy eating” — a phenomenon in part due to federal nutrition guidelines enacted in 2011. “The macaroni and cheese of 20 years ago, you can’t even serve it. It’s just not OK.”

Two Foodies Aim at a Fruit Juice Revolution

WHERE EVERY MEAL IS A GREAT CATCH

By Kristi Kates The amount of sugar in most fruit juices today rivals that of manufactured sodas — a problem that turns off many health-minded consumers, and one that friends and foodies Chad Anderson and Luc Hobson decided to tackle with their new product, Edit Fruit Juice, made right in Traverse City.

PALATE PUZZLE Their journey began when Hobson, a biochemist by trade, filled a request for a Canadian client to make a “super shot” of fruit, a high-antioxidant concentration of fruit juice. The client liked the flavor but not the viscosity, which Anderson described as thick and not very palatable.

As a food production consultant and student of agriculture, Anderson discussed with Hobson the possibility of pulling the fructose and glucose (sugars) out of the fruit juice to change its texture. Hobson, at first, saw this as a fairly easy puzzle to solve.

“In his mind, he didn’t think it would be that difficult to separate the sugar from the juice, even though that hadn’t really been done yet,” Anderson said. “He thought it would be similar to how they extract sugar from beets. But fruit juice isn’t the same.”

DE-SUGARING The two friends wanted to solve the problem for a variety of reasons.

“Today, not only is there a lot of sugar in supermarket fruit juice, but we add sugar and salt to food to all kinds of food to make it more palatable,” Anderson said. “Even things like yogurt have a lot of added sugar.

People have moved away from fruit itself because of its sugar.”

After five years of working on the problem, they finally discovered a method of removing the fructose and glucose from fruit juice, replacing the sweet factor with Stevia, which results in a beverage that is 100 percent juice with less than one gram of sugar.

They’ve trademarked the process, which they call “de-sugaring.”

“But it’s not about the money,” Anderson said. “Luc and I are driven by something different than that. It’s about taking something from

the land that’s so valuable with all of its antioxidants and vitamins, and making it better.”

JUICE FIGHT The co-founders and their management team are currently producing three flavors of Edit Fruit Juice — tart cherry, apple, and grape — in a small Traverse City-based production facility, primarily using Michigan fruits.

“We’re getting cherries from King Orchards in Central Lake, apples from Coloma Foods in Coloma, Michigan, and grapes from grape farmers in Michigan and Pennsylvania,” Anderson said. “We have 160 retail outlets carrying the juice right now, and we’re getting distributed in the Midwest by Lipari Foods out of Detroit.”

And with new changes coming to Food and Drug Administration-regulated nutrition labels in July 2018, Anderson hopes that Edit’s profile will increase as more consumers become aware of the excessive amounts of added sugar in their usual juice beverages and other products.

“It’s extremely challenging to go up against the big companies,” he said. “They have distribution, they have scale, so we’re out there fighting the fight to get Edit Fruit Juice to more people.”

“But it’s worth it, because fruit juice is one of those products that’s just so good for you.”

Going Nuts in Williamsburg!

By Kristi Kates Back in the early 2000s, peanut butter choices were fairly limited — unlike the numerous options available today. But as the saying goes, if you want something done right, sometimes you have to do it yourself.

That was the approach of Tim and Katie Kearney, a husband and wife team that founded Naturally Nutty nut and seed butters in Williamsburg in 2007.

HIDDEN HEALTH “The company was actually started by Katie,” Tim Kearney explained [Katie Kearney is out on maternity leave.] “She was experimenting in the kitchen, making nut butters on her own. She wanted to make a healthier version of peanut and almond butter, since at the time there were only a few organic versions.”

“Most had hydrogenated oils and trans fats, which is what she was trying to avoid,” he added.

Katie Kearney added spices to the ground nut butters, as well as what the Kearneys call “hidden nutrition boosts” like flax seed and chia seeds. “They’re ground right in with the mixture,” Kearney said, “so the butters are even better for you, but you don’t notice it.”

RETAIL RESPONSE After Katie Kearney had been working with the nut butters on her own for several months, the Kearneys’ neighborhood had a block party, and one of the neighbors asked about her project.

“She brought out some samples, and the response was so great,” Kearney said. “So we started making batches and started Naturally Nutty as a small business, which is how it began. Then it grew into what we have today.”

14 • august 1, 2016 • Northern Express Weekly

Naturally Nutty started its retail foray in local stores first. “Tom’s, Oryana, and Oleson’s were three that carried us right away,” Kearney said. Interlochen Arts Academy was the company’s first major account.

“We started sending five-pound tubs of nut butter to them for their cafeteria, and we still do today,” Kearney said.

FOUR FAVORITES The four flavors that launched the business — Honey-Roasted Cinnamon Peanut Butter, Butter Toffee Peanut Butter, Vanilla Peanut Butter, and Plain Natural Original Peanut Butter — are still hits at Naturally Nutty, but the company has expanded to offer 19 nut butters in all, which can be used in sandwiches, on oatmeal, or just as a healthy snack on celery or crackers.

“Early on, we were shipping out 5 to 10 cases a day,” Kearney said.

“Now it’s between 100 and 150 per day.”

In a nutshell, the Keaneys had found their winning nut butter formula. Their best-seller today: the unusual, complex and savory Organic Pepita Sun Seed Butter, a mix of pepita (pumpkin) seeds, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, vanilla powder, sea salt, cinnamon, and allspice.

“There’s a lot going on in that jar!” Kearney said.

LOCAL LOVE All of Naturally Nutty’s products are made in small batches, by hand, at its facility in Williamsburg, with approval ratings from the Food and Drug Administration and the Michigan Department of Agriculture.

“I think the reason our nut butters have been a hit is because we don’t cut any corners on ingredients, and we keep the focus on nutrition and flavor,” Kearney said. “It’s all about making good, quality, healthy products for people.”

Eat Like a Chef Our Own Top Chefs Share Their Favorite Recipes

By Kristi Kates With all of that culinary knowledge at their disposal, do you ever wonder what our local chefs prefer to prepare … and eat … at home? We tapped some of the region’s top chefs to find out the go-to meals they make when they’re off the clock and have a hankering for something delicious.

CHEF PAUL OLSON’S Roasted Cauliflower with Jalapeno Vinaigrette Managing Partner, Mission Table, Traverse City

Chef Gary Riggs’ Signature Steak Gorgonzola Owner, Nonna Lisa’s, Mackinaw City

One of Chef Olson’s favorite summer dishes is an easy one — and that’s just the way he likes it. “The simplest recipes are best for a Sunday dinner with friends and family; the key is to take seasonal food and try not to mess with it too much.”

This signature dish at Nonna Lisa’s is also one that Riggs makes frequently on his own, as it gives him a chance to grill. “I’m a big fan of both spinach and beef,” he said. “And this is one of the meals I make the most often; it’s also a best-seller in the restaurant. The depth of the flavors in this dish is just incredible.”

INGREDIENTS: 1 head cauliflower, broken down into florets 1 tablespoon quality olive oil 4 fresh jalapenos, seeded ½ cup washed arugula 1 tablespoon honey 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard ½ cup champagne vinegar 2 teaspoons kosher salt 1 ¼ cups canola or soy oil Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper dash of smoked paprika slice of lemon DIRECTIONS: Toss florets with olive oil, salt and pepper, and roast in at 450 F for 20–25 minutes until crispy and brown. While cauliflower is roasting, place jalapenos, arugula, honey, mustard, vinegar, and salt into a blender and puree until smooth, adding oil until vinaigrette has a creamy texture. When cauliflower is fork tender, remove from oven and toss with the vinaigrette, a squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of smoked paprika.

16 • august 1, 2016 • Northern Express Weekly

INGREDIENTS: 8 oounces of tenderloin sirloin steak tips two pinches of fresh garlic 1 tablespoon each Worstershire sauce, A1 sauce, Italian dressing, and Canadian steak sauce ½ cup heavy whipping cream splash of white wine handful fresh spinach ¾ cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese 1 serving cooked fettucini noodles balsamic reduction glaze (a cooked down mix of equal parts balsamic vinegar, sugar and honey) salt pepper DIRECTIONS: Marinate the steak tips in a separate pan with the four tablespoons of sauces and dressing, plus a pinch of fresh garlic. Let sit for six hours. When ready to prepare the meal, sauté spinach with remaining pinch of garlic until greens are wilted. Add wine to deglaze the pan. Add the heavy whipping cream and stir to reduce. Then add ½ cup of gorgonzola cheese and stir until smooth. Cook marinated steak tips on the grill for a smoky flavor, then arrange on the noodles.

Pour completed gorgonzola cheese sauce on top, finish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze, remaining gorgonzola and dash of salt and pepper.

Chef Brian Freund’s Coq Au Vin Co-Owner, That French Place, Charlevoix

Chef D.J. Flynn’s Almond Cake Corporate Chef, Stafford’s Hospitality, Little Traverse

Served alongside steamed broccoli and garlic-and-onion mashed potatoes, Freund said he loves this dish because it’s not too difficult, but the flavor is exceptional. “It takes a little technique and finesse, but it’s one of those bites of food you’ll dream about until you make it again,” he said.

Chef Flynn makes this versatile cake most often as a summer treat. “I decided to share this recipe because it’s delicious and really simple,” Flynn said. “I love to serve it plain, or even better, with any seasonal fruit or macerated berries, lemon curd, and whipped cream.”

INGREDIENTS: 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs 8 ounces bacon, sliced into ½-inch pieces 10 large mushrooms, quartered ½ large sweet onion, diced 2 shallots, sliced 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons butter 1 cup chicken stock 1 ½ cups good quality wine (Zinfandel, Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon) 6 sprigs fresh thyme sea salt and black pepper DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 375 F.

Transfer bacon to a paper towel using a slotted spoon, leaving bacon fat in the pan. Turn heat to high and cook chicken for three to five minutes until browned on both sides. Move chicken to plate, drain and discard all but one tablespoon of drippings. Lower heat back to medium high and sauté mushrooms, onions, and shallots with a pinch of salt until golden (8–12 minutes). Stir flour and butter into vegetable mix until incorporated. Add red wine to skillet and bring to a boil, scraping browned bits from bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add Buy 3 Slices bacon and thyme and cook until wine is reduced by a third.

Add chicken stock and chicken thighs and bring to a simmer. Put skillet into preheated over for 20–30 Get 4th minutes. Spoon pan juices over top of the chicken andthe cook for an additional 20–30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer reads 165 Slice F. Transfer chicken Free to a platter.

Place skillet back on heat and reduce pan juices to thicken; adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, discard thyme. Pour sauce over chicken and open serve.

That familiar lament can bring the response “Let’s order pizza,” “Whatever you’re fixing,” or everyone’s favorite: “Leftovers.” With busy lives focusing on work, school, vacation, visitors and the like, folks today seem to have less time than ever to fix a healthy, appealing meal.

Into the breach are stepping a number of options. Locally, for example, you can go to the kitchen — make that The Kitchen, the establishment redefining quick takeout from its location on Woodmere Avenue in Traverse City. Owners Jeff and Trish Wiltse saw an opportunity to fill an underserved niche when they opened in 2012.

“We serve gourmet food, fast. Meals-to-go is our bread and butter,” said manager Zachary White. While The Kitchen does a brisk to-go lunch business, White said a large number of people stop in to get food for dinner. “We have quite a few people who purchase food for their parents. Our containers can go directly in the oven or in the freezer.”

Another significant buying group is busy moms and dads. “We have a lot of working moms,” he said.

With their time-crunched customer demographic firmly in mind, White said The Kitchen is considering adding meal delivery to its menu in the future.

DELIVERED TO HOME OR WORK Should The Kitchen decide to go that route, it won’t be alone. Two area chefs are already operating delivery programs, both from commercial kitchens at Cherry Capital Foods.

Shannon Hitchcock, a working mother of two young children, saw an opportunity to serve families similar to hers. “Both parents usually work, and it’s important to have good food,” she said.

She came up with the concept for Whisk TC, offering customers one delivery of meals— some ready-to-serve; others prepped and ready for cooking—per week.

For example, salad ingredients are measured and need only to be mixed in a bowl.

Soups or subs are ready to eat. Dinner ingredients might have to be mixed together then roasted, sautéed or cooked in a crock pot; some may need 24 hours to marinate. Her website tells customers what equipment they need to

with local farms.

Homebound people often suffer from isolation and loneliness as well as inadequate nutrition, and the service helps them in that way as well. “We also provide companionship,” Robitshek said. “Our mission is to provide health and quality of life. For many people, what they need to stay in their house is Meals on Wheels.”

Recipients are not held accountable for the cost, but they are offered the opportunity to contribute. The funding comes from various sources, depending on the authority overseeing the program.

Whatever the cost, Robitshek said studies have shown that the service is worth it, not only in terms of assisting seniors but also financially. “Studies have shown the cost of a year of Meals on Wheels is equal to six days in a nursing home or one day in the hospital. The cost saving is really incredible.”

Whatever the service, a key feature is offering customers variety. No one wants to eat the same meal two or three times a week. White said the original calling card at The Kitchen was “Thanksgiving every day,” with a full turkey dinner a regular feature. That’s still the case, but the eatery also offers over two dozen sandwiches, five different burritos and five tacos, as well as a host of soups and salads, daily.

Variety is one of the advantages of the national chains — they offer a virtually unlimited number of choices. Fab Fresh Foods and Whisk TC both offer a large variety of meals overall, though their weekly menus are set up in advance, with minimal substitutions allowed.

MICHIGAN’S

IRONMEN

Picture the Straits of Mackinac.

Now picture the Straits without the Mackinac Bridge.

That’s how it was in the early 1950s, before the bridge existed, back when travelers crossed the five-mile span between the Upper and Lower Peninsulas by boat.

Over 3,500 ironworkers labored to make that journey easier and faster, building the Mackinac Bridge, which opened in 1957.

But the project wasn’t without its difficulties and challenges, all of which united the bridge ironworkers into a true, lifelong team that celebrates their achievements every year in Mackinaw City.

WORKERS REUNION Tim Roman is the president of the Ironworkers’ volunteer committee; he started working on the bridge himself when he was just 20 years old. Decades later, he found out about the festival, which started informally when some ironworker pals were goofing around and decided to race-climb up a column on the bridge.

The socializing proved welcome, the festival grew, and Roman became a regular attendee. By 2007, he’d accepted a job to help coordinate the event — to, as he put it “keep the fire burning.” By 2011, he was appointed president.

Fundraising and planning takes place year-round for the festival, which takes many volunteers and hundreds of manhours to make happen. It’s also a reunion of sorts, as men who worked on the bridge, as well as many other ironworkers from across the United States and Canada, meet up for this annual event.

FAVORITE FRIEND This 33rd Ironworkers Festival arrives with a sad tone, as the group recently lost one of their own. Bernie Neobel, who passed away at the age of 84, competed at the festival right up through last year, Roman said; he particularly enjoyed the Rivet Toss. Neobel will be honored in several different ways at this year’s event.

“It’ll be very strange this year without him. It’s a tough year for us,” Roman said.

“But a lot of the guys knew him. Some are coming from pretty far away, and we have several things planned to honor his memory.”

One of those ceremonies will take place at the Walk of Iron (walkofiron.com) monument in Mackinaw City, the city’s tribute to the construction of the Mackinac Bridge. A specially engraved brick will be added to the collection of brick pavers installed to honor individual ironworkers.

The point of the festival, of course, is to pay tribute to men like Neobel and to educate festival guests about all of the hard work the ironworkers did. So it will continue on with many of its popular events this year, including crowd favorites, the Column Climb and the Rivet Toss.

The International Ironworkers Festival

VINTAGE TECHNIQUES The Column Climb calls upon the ironworkers’ physical strength; prior to aerial lifts and safety harnesses, they had to solely use their hands and feet to ascend the bridge’s tall columns.

“It’s a 35-foot race to the top,” Roman said. “The world record in the Column Climb is six seconds. It’s all about strength and technique; you lock your feet and arms similar to climbing a ladder, but without the rungs.”

The Rivet Toss is just as tough, but in a different way; one ironworker picks up a cold rivet (a bolt for holding together two pieces of metal) and throws it up to a guy

with a “catch can,” who nabs it out of the air. Each team gets 60 seconds to throw and catch as many rivets as possible; the high mark is 30.

“That’s actually a technique they used when building the Mackinac Bridge,” Roman explained. “But the rivets that were actually used then would’ve been heated in the forge before they were thrown up. So back in the day, they were thrown red hot!”

COOL CAMARADERIE In addition to these highlights, the Ironworkers Festival will offer the Spud Throw (long wrenches — not potatoes — that are called spud wrenches), as well as competitions is Rod Tying and Knot Tying, plus entertainment from longtime festival regulars and country-rock group The Rambling Band.

Vendor booths and heavy-equipment artisans (chainsaw artists and blacksmiths) will round out the event, and food will be offered by a range of vendors and food trucks including BC Pizza and C&C Creations, the latter of which will offer a full breakfast, lunch and dinner menu.

The event is both a welcome chance for these work comrades to catch up and for the public to get a better idea of what it took to build the bridge.

“The sportsmanship and camaraderie is always great every year, and the festival gives us the chance to showcase our craft, which is part of what it took to build America,” Roman said.

The 2016 International Ironworkers Festival will be held August 12–14 in Mackinaw City, behind Mackinaw Area Schools. Admission is free; fees to join the competitions (open only to current and retired ironworkers) vary. For more info, visit ironfest.com.

A Whole New Life Kyle Zemsta was so impressed by his wife’s weight loss results one year after surgery, he decided to have the procedure, too. Now they both have much more energy, stamina, and enjoy outdoor activities together.

Bariatric procedures are not for everyone. People qualify for weight loss surgery only if it is the best choice for their health and they demonstrate the required commitment, motivation, education, and medical history. Munson Medical Center’s nationally accredited program provides long-term support and thorough follow-up care. To learn more, join us for a free, informational seminar.

“It’s been absolutely wonderful,” Katie said. “I’ve lost 120 pounds.

My health is excellent and my sleep apnea is gone. My new addiction is shopping. I can’t find anything I can’t fit into.”

- Katie Zemsta, 36 and Kyle Zemsta, 34

“Katie and Kyle have had great success. Doing all of the followup steps and having the full support of a spouse really helps achieve and maintain long-term good health. It’s been very rewarding to watch the Zemstas become healthy and active.”

Gary Singer

Senior Pastor at Presbyterian Church of Traverse City

Gary helps businesses with their Internet marketing.

He was raised a Catholic.

No harm, no foul! I understand the saying.

I played ball. At 6’4” and 240 lbs., a finesse player I’m not. Incidental contact should be ignored. Let them play! But I question this as a philosophy for life when it comes to sexual trafficking.

tween two committed, consenting, monogamous adults and, in the best circumstances, consummated in marriage. Not because I am naïve, judgmental, or a prude, but because I hold a high view of human sexuality and its consequences.

When it comes to sex, there is no such thing as “incidental contact.” Every human relationship bears layer upon layer of meaning. Even the most passing moment can have social, emotional, economic, psychological, cultural, political, and spiritual consequences.

We live in a world where there is an imbalance of power between women and men. In this world, women are objectified from the day they are born. Many cultures around the world still practice female infanticide.

Women are paid less than men for the same work. Too many women grow up filled with self-hatred and shame, thinking their purpose in life is to serve or satisfy men.

If I lived in Gary’s world and ignored the presence of God, perhaps I could conceive of a situation outside of a committed, monogamous relationship where two consenting adults could be involved in inconsequential sex. But I don’t live in Gary’s world.

While I bend a little from tradition, I still believe a sexual relationship should be be-

GARY’S RESPONSE

Bill would obviously reject pre-marital sex as somehow counter-productive to the outcome of the relationship. In my book, that ship has sailed. As I have always believed, the problem with relying upon religious beliefs to dictate behavior is that today’s cultures have little in common with those of 2,000 years ago. Fortunately, most progressives have evolved beyond stoning female (only, of course) adulterers and branding gays as perverts.

Even if we ignore the obvious victims of sexual trafficking through “gentlemens clubs, internet porn, “adult” media, or prostitution, we’re chasing unicorns if we believe there is no harm or foul in sexual trafficking.

We all could benefit from counseling on sexual relationships. It’s time we got past the taboos about even discussing a behavior shared by all life forms, which is just as fundamental to our human existence as is eating and sleeping. We certainly agree that any form of sexual trafficking that results in force or manipulation is abhorrent.

When Bill and I agreed to take up this topic, I imagined I would be writing about how innocuous pornography is and that -- like other personal activities -- there should be no restrictions on its use for adults. I have always felt that porn can be detrimental to children’s emotional development and that parents must control its access (which is simple to enact).

However, after delving into recent research, it appears my assumptions are false. Much of what I have read indicates that prolonged use of porn can be quite harmful on levels not previously understood. One well-designed study indicates that prolonged use of pornography can lead to a decrease in brain function and size.

On the other hand, the same can be said of alcohol consumption or a rotten diet and I don’t see the Republican Party platform – designating porn a public health crisis – addressing either of those issues. Porn occu-

BILL’S RESPONSE

In high school, I made a pretty good living wagering on harness racing. It was illegal. I was underage. That didn’t keep me from picking up the racing form in the morning and picking my horses that night. What did stop me was the word of a Presbyterian minister, and my mentor. He said, “Forget you are supporting organized crime with every dollar you bet.

Somebody has to lose for you to win. What

pies its own niche in our collective psyches.

There are elements of pornography that seem to really grate upon religious supporters in a way that is missing from other personal health issues.

It comes down to an issue of morality, a term which is so loosely defined as to be rendered useless. My morals will be perceived as loose when defined by a staunch religious conservative. Conversely, I would describe that same conservative’s morals as loose if they condone open carry or discriminate against the LGBT community.

My position then is: Learn as much as possible about the effects of porn as you would any other activity with dubious outcomes.

But establishing laws to restrict its dissemination will be no more effective than those directed toward eliminating illegal drugs.

about those kids going without because dad squandered his check at the track?” I haven’t gambled since.

I don’t agree, but I understand Gary’s argument. My question is, “Forget the harm porn has on the consumer; what about those being filmed or photographed, whose lives are being destroyed in the process?”

Hawaiian Musician Brings Unique Sound to Interlochen

WHY THE UKULELE? Shimabukuro grew up in the the Aloha State, where he said the ukulele is just a normal part of the culture. “We even learn to play it as early as fourth grade, kind of how other kids on the mainland start with the recorder,” he said.

“It’s not uncommon at all to pick up a ukulele really early. My mother was my first teacher when I was four years old, and I remember absolutely loving playing it. As a kid, I’d have one around all the time; I’d even be sitting there playing the uke while I was watching TV.” STRUCTURED SOUNDS While Shimabukuro played drums in high school band and wished he had aptitude for guitar or piano, the ukulele is really where his musical skills are meant to be. “I can’t play those other instruments much at all, and I also realized I’m a horrible singer,” he laughed. “So I had to learn to combine chords and rhythms on the ukulele that

COLLABORATION DREAMS With 11 American albums released, plus a number of Japanese-only releases, Shimabukuro has an impressive catalog of music, made even more so by the musical work he’s done with other artists. In addition to appearing on talk shows hosted by the likes of Conan O’Brien, Jimmy Kimmel, and Garrison Keillor, he’s also performed in the studio and onstage with Bette Midler, Ziggy Marley, and the aforementioned Jack Johnson, among others.

“Yo Yo Ma was one of my childhood heroes, so collaborating with him was a dream come true,” Shimabukuro said. “Working with Bela Fleck was also tremendous for me; and then performing with Cyndi Lauper was great.

She’s so much fun to work with.”

STUDIO SESSIONS A new album, Nashville Sessions, is on the way from Shimabukuro this fall, and he said it’s his “most different” album to date.

“We went into the studio for six days with no prepared music at all,” he said. “We just jammed and played. So style-wise, it’s kind of all over the map, but I was really happy with the results. I had no idea we’d get a whole album out of it; I thought we might get one or two tracks.” Shimabukuro and the two Nashville session players he recorded with, Nolan Verner on bass and Evan Hutchings on drums, approached the album like a jazz record. “We tracked everything, all three of us, in a very spontaneous and inspired way, then I went back and layered more ukulele over the top,” he said. “When you listen to it, it has a very fresh sound. You can tell that we’re discovering the songs right as we’re playing them.”

UNCHARTED TERRITORY On his current tour dates, Shimabukuro is testing the waters by playing some of the new tracks from Nashville Sessions, and said that he loves playing during the rehearsals and soundchecks just as much as the concerts

When you hear the words “musical virtuoso,” the vision of a musician jamming on a ukulele probably doesn’t come to mind.

But a skilled musician from Honolulu, Hawaii, is changing that perception with his unique performance and composition style on the instrument. Jake Shimabukuro’s ukulele music combines elements of jazz, folk, funk, rock, and even more contrasting elements like classical and flamenco music, and it’s this diversity that’s helped bring him fame in his home state and across the Pacific.

In 2006, the rest of the world found out why Hawaii and Japan were going crazy over Shimabukuro’s music; a YouTube video of him performing the Beatles’ “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” was posted without his knowledge, became one of YouTube’s first huge viral videos, and has notched over 14 million views to date. Since then, his career has exploded, including albums, concerts, projects with fellow musicians, and even a documentary, Jake Shimabukuro: Life on Four Strings, which aired on PBS in 2013.

From six hours away in lush, beautiful Hawaii, we spoke with Shimabukuro by phone to find out more about why he was drawn to the uke, how he manages to wrangle so many beautiful sounds out of just four strings, and what he’s working on next.

would allow me to bring the main melody of each song out, because if I don’t, then people don’t recognize the song. I do listen to a lot of guitarists and pianists and vocalists, too, to pick up some of what they’re doing and apply that to the ukulele — especially singers, as I try to be as lyrical as possible in my instrumentation.”

themselves. “I love that I’m so very free to explore,” he said. “There’s a lot of uncharted territory with the ukulele. If you’re a guitar or piano player, it’s tough to break new ground, but the uke is relatively new to the scene.

So whether there’s one person listening or a thousand, I have fun all the same. I’m just happy there are people who love the instrument and who support what I enjoy doing.”

More Musicians Who Play Plenty of other musicians have experimented with the mighty little instrument. Girl-power singer-songwriters like Joni Mitchell, Nellie McKay, Sara Bareilles, Colbie Caillat, Amanda Palmer, Lisa Hannigan, and even Taylor Swift and Madonna have strummed one, while in the classic rock department, the Beatles’ John Lennon and George Harrison were said to be fans of it too. Bands like Noah and the Whale, Beirut, TuneYards, The Magnetic Fields, and She and Him also can be seen working the instrument into their performances. Fellow Hawaiian folk-rocker Jack Johnson plays the ukulele too. And if you really want to go oldschool uke, be sure to check out the music of early vintage greats like Arthur Godfrey, Tiny Tim, Cliff Edwards, and Hawaii’s legendary Don Ho.

By Kristi Kates Pizza is everywhere in northern Michigan and across America. So it’s a challenge for any restaurant, pub, or pizza place to make their pie standout. Popular local microbrew destination Short’s Brewing Company found a way, and all it took was looking in their own proverbial backyard.

PIZZA PHILOSOPHY Luke Meredith, head chef at Short’s pub in Bellaire, has been working with the brewery’s menu for about two years. Together with his kitchen team, he has been working on an idea to upgrade the brewpub’s pizza dough — to make it different and closer to Short’s business and food philosophies.

“We knew we wanted to have a beerforward pizza dough,” Meredith said. “So we tested all types of dough, trying different flours and liquids.” The pivotal ingredient was, of course, Short’s own beer. But a number of additional components needed to fall into place to truly make the dough a standout.

IMPORTANT INGREDIENTS Fortunately, Short’s already had a line on a reliable source for ingredients: Briess Malt and Ingredients Co. out of Detroit. “We buy all of our malt and grains from Briess to brew our beer,” Meredith said. “And we found that they also have a line of baking products, most of which are byproducts of beer.” Short’s snagged three: malt syrup to use instead of sugar, caramel-malted wheat flour, and an ingredient familiar to bread bakers, diastatic malt powder. “It helps speed up the dough and adds good texture,” Meredith said. “It also promotes good bubbling in the dough, like what you’d expect from any really good pizza place.”

FOCUSED FLAVORS With the unique ingredients in hand, Meredith and the Short’s kitchen team began experimenting with different flavors of beer and malt syrup until they achieved the flavor they and the executive team liked. Once they hit on the right flavor combination, they tackled texture.

One member of Short’s team, Sam DeCamp, brought up his friend Arlo Brandl, a consulting baker from Ann Arbor, who helped Meredith and his co-workers test dough styles — everything from Chicagostyle pizza dough to New York, Chicago,

and Neopolitan. “We finally settled on the Sicilian-style dough,” Meredith said. “We really like the texture of it, and with our Short’s Local Lager as a key ingredient, it became the winner.”

Once the new pizza dough got the green light, Short’s launched its new pizzas this past February.

CRISPY CHEW The new dough has several characteristics that make it unique. “We ferment the dough a minimum of 24 hours,” Meredith said. “This, and the ingredients, plus our beer, make the dough dark and rich. It looks like whole wheat, has a lot of depth and malt, and is crispy outside with a nice chew to it.”

Six featured pizzas are now on the Short’s menu, with a secondary option to build your own pie. The best-selling pizzas in the pub: the Feed the Fire pizza, which is topped with braised shredded chicken, bacon sriracha, smoked gouda, and scallions; and the Mushroom Festival, topped with shiitake, crimini, and oyster mushrooms, plus white cheddar, chiles, oregano, and pesto. “The point was to make dough for our own pizza, in our own pub,” Meredith said. “It was such a cool process, if a lengthy one. But our goal was to make the best-tasting pizza dough possible, and our beer is a big part of that.”

Short’s Brewery and Pub is located at 121 North Bridge St. in Bellaire. Learn more at shortsbrewing.com or 231-498-2300.

AMERicaN ShoWcASE

By Kristi Kates The Annual Odawa Homecoming Pow Wow, an extensive all-day event that runs annually every summer in Harbor Springs, doesn’t only bring together the Odawa people to honor their own. It welcomes people from other Indian nations, as well as the Odawa’s non-Native American neighbors, to watch, participate, and learn more about Odawa heritage and traditions.

PROTECTING OUR WATERS Each year’s Pow Wow has a theme, and this year’s is Nbi Naagadendiming, or Protecting Our Waters. It’s an appropriate theme, as Native Americans have long relied on Michigan’s waterways for a range of uses, from fishing, aquaculture, and sustenance of wild rice crops to navigation and cultural/ ceremonial practices.

“The Little Traverse Bay Band Environmental Services Program will have an informational booth educating people on the importance of water in our culture, why it’s important to protect and preserve our water, and what the program does to do so,” said Annette VanDeCar, chair of the Odawa Homecoming Pow Wow. SYMBOLIC SHAWL The water presentations will add one more colorful component to the festival, which is already rich with Native beaded and embroidered regalia (the formal term for the dancers’ clothing), Indian foods, music, drumbeats, and shared stories and lore.

A special event at this year’s Pow Wow will be the Fancy Shawl Special, a Native American dance. The regalia for the dance consists of a colorful shawl worn around the shoulders and a cloth dress with bright, intricate beadwork.

“It’s a fairly modern dance, originating in the North in the early 1950s and ’60s as a tourist and competition dance,” VanDeCar explained. “It filtered down to the south and became more popular in the ’70s and ’80s.”

“It is also thought to have originated as the butterfly dance. When her mate is killed in battle, the female butterfly mourns and goes into a cocoon,

26 • august 1, 2016 • Northern Express Weekly

symbolized by the shawl. Her emergence from the cocoon celebrates freedom and a new life.”

COMMUNITY AND CUISINE Many of the dance styles have been performed by Odawa tribal members for centuries, and some of the music you’ll hear during the Pow Wow is just as old, as the songs are passed from generation to generation.

The drumming is highlight during these events, as are the inter-tribal dances, which VanDeCar encourages all to participate in, whether you’re of Native American heritage or not. “It brings the community together,” she said.

Another highlight of each Pow Wow, and one of VanDeCar’s favorites, is the food, which usually includes such Native American fare as fry bread, Indian tacos, blanket dogs, corn soup, buffalo burgers, and more.

“I’m really looking forward to sampling the food from our seven vendors this year,” she said. “All will be open for business at 11am on both Saturday and Sunday.”

TRIBAL AFFIRMATION But most of all, the Pow Wow, for which attendance consistently increases each year, is a strong reaffirmation of the tribe’s history in a country that doesn’t always remember to honor the Native American culture.

“I think the Pow Wows allow us to show the non-Native community that we still retain and honor our traditions, even though we live in a contemporary setting,” VanDeCar explained.

“It’s an opportunity to learn about our culture firsthand, and to ask questions of the dancers, drummers, artists, and food vendors. Most are happy to share their knowledge with those interested in learning more about our culture.”

The 25th Annual Odawa Homecoming Pow Wow will take place August 13–14 at the LTBB Pow Wow Grounds in Harbor Springs. (Rain site: Petoskey High School Gym.) For directions and more information, visit facebook.com/OdawaHomecomingPowWow or odawahomecoming.com, or call 231-242-1427.

Etta’s Diner

By Kristi Kates A 1940s recipe book passed down to the next generation, a lifetime spent as a foodie, and a food truck that almost immediately became a local favorite in downtown Harbor Springs.

These were the steps that led Steve Erber to his latest venture: the expansion of the aforementioned Etta’s Food Truck to the brick-and-mortar Etta’s Diner in Harbor Springs, where he’s serving up eclectic recipes inspired by his grandmother Henrietta Thompson, stuffed full of fresh, locallysourced ingredients.

FOLKSY FEELING Erber, along with his business partner Fred Hackl, opened Etta’s Diner on West Conway Road as an extension of the food truck (don’t worry, the truck isn’t going away.) It’s all part of Erber’s journey through food. The Cadillac native worked at a pizza franchise in high school and then as a cook during his college years, inspired by watching his grandmother cook early in his life, especially during his summer vacations.

“The long summer days always started with breakfast made to order,” Erber said.

Even after Thompson retired, her kitchen was always open, with her whipping up everything from Southern fried chicken and hot beef sandwiches to giant stock pots of seasonal soups and a vast array of pies.

Etta’s Food Truck, and now Etta’s Diner, follow suit with their down-home appeal, menu variety and even the ambiance.

“For the diner, we really wanted that folksy feeling, combined with that of a true all-American diner,” Erber explained.

“When we moved into the building, there were booths, but we took those out and replaced them with tables.”

Inspired, Fresh Cooking in a Nostalgic Setting

Everything is decked out in crisp white and warm burgundy, complemented by the birch counters and black pendant lights; throwback photos keep the nostalgia going.

“Fred is a history buff,” Erber said, “so he went to the historical society in Petoskey and picked up and framed a bunch of vintage black and white photos of the area.”

Included in those photos is a picture of the Oden Fish Hatchery back in the 1920s, where Etta and her husband Harrell (superintendent at the facility) lived for 20 years.

“That particular photo is in a prominent spot,” Erber smiled.

ferent music sources and genres, Erber said that — much like traditional diners across the country — what his customers ended up preferring was what he calls “that diner feel.”

“You know — glasses clinking, plates being set down, people talking, our chefs’ ‘70s rock filtering out from the kitchen,” he explained. “That real busy, friendly, neighborly atmosphere seemed to be what people liked the most.”

The menu at the diner follows the lead of the music, as well as the lead of the truck, sticking with many of their customers’ favorites from Etta’s food truck menu, while expanding upon it.

“That real busy, friendly, neighborly atmosphere seemed to be what people liked the most.”

FOODIE FAVORITES Erber considers their food truck Etta’s second restaurant, especially since the Harbor Springs Chamber of Commerce and the City Council dedicated four parking spaces on Bay Street specifically for food trucks, as part of an initiative to bring more people down to the city’s waterfront. The food truck spaces can be rented by the month or by the day, which makes room for both those wanting to solidify a regular location and trucks passing through only occasionally. It’s great for both variety and business.

“It’s pretty progressive for a little town like Harbor Springs,” Erber pointed out.

Even the music for Etta’s Diner was carefully thought out. After trying several dif-

MADE FROM SCRATCH “The diner menu is much more extensive,” Erber said.

It includes selections like Etta’s popular CIB, or Chicago Italian beef, slow-roasted for four hours with a unique spice profile and served on the diner’s homemade buns; their pan-fried walleye sandwich, also served on homemade bread; chicken-and-waffle sandwiches; and meatloaf sliders served with potato salad.

On the breakfast menu, which includes French toast, eggs Benedict, and biscuits and gravy, their pancakes are scratch-baked and served up with locally-produced maple syrup from Far Hills in Alanson.

“Our bread, rolls, pies, the noodles in our chicken soup and our German chocolate cake, they’re all homemade,” Erber said.

“We’re rolling out some gluten-free items

this spring, as well. And everything’s fresh.

That’s the big thing with us: nothing is out of a can.”

Erber’s personal favorite for breakfast is The Hatchery, a special that includes two eggs, hash browns, meat, pancake, toast and coffee; for lunch, he chooses a classic burger.

“The hamburgers are extraordinary,” he said. “We have a char-broiler in the back, and then the burgers are transferred to the flattop. The guys, including chef John Giles, do such a great job back there.”

While he cheerfully admits to being biased, Erber said there’s not a bad item on the menu.

“I mean, I’ve put on a lot of weight since we started this. I’ve got to test everything, you see,” he laughed.

Part of the test for a new restaurant is, of course, seeing if they’ll be able to draw in the customers; this has been no problem for Etta’s Diner. “We are getting really busy,” Erber said, “and we were thankfully very busy over the winter, too. So we are adding some outdoor seating this year to better accommodate our customers in the summer.”

They may be adding some seating in another state, too.

“In the future, we hope to be able to follow our clientele down to Florida in the winter, with a second brick-and-mortar restaurant,” Erber said. “We’re looking around the Naples area at the moment, but we have so many great customers Up North, so we will definitely keep our diner running up here.”

Etta’s Diner is located at 1053 West Conway Road, just off M-119 near Harbor Springs.

The diner is open 8am to 3pm daily. Etta’s Food Truck is based in downtown Harbor Springs on Bay Street, where they’ll be operatin until to Sept. 15 from 11am to 7pm.

The Chainsmokers – Don’t Let Me Down The Remixes – Disruptor/ Columbia

The original, super-catchy Chainsmokers “Don’t Let Me Down” track (featuring Daya) snagged the group so much attention that the next logical step was to expand upon its sound and see what some of their fellow artists could do with it. Their fans are definitely benefitting from this diverse quintet of versions by such esteemed mixmasters as Zomboy, Ricky Remedy, and W&W — but the real standout is Dom Da Bomb’s Electric Bodega Remix, that perfectly merges island dancehall with city dance floor.

Relient K – Air for Free – MVS

History, music, food and wine, with quaint Traverse City-original boutiques.

The Village at Grand Traverse Commons.

This Ohio rock band sticks with many of the consistent themes they’ve championed over the past 10 years — everyday life struggles, personal challenges, happiness and hope — but Relient K’s sound has almost completely drifted away from their punk roots, especially with this album, which is heavier on the pop side than ever. It works, though, especially on tracks like the bright and catchy “Marigold,” the directness of “Empty House,” and unexpected arrangement of “Local Construction.”

SHOP Locally-owned stores with unique products and excellent service.

TASTE Some of the best foodie stops in Traverse City: fine food, coffee, bread, sweets, award-winning local wines and Saturday Farmers Market.

EXPLORE Beautiful parks and hiking trails, and guided historic tours, including NEW PHOTO TOURS: click to www.thevillagetc.com/tours!

Music at Left Foot Charley Look Park – Look Park – Yep Roc

Chris Collinswood from Fountains of Wayne leads this side project band-slash-solo project, so you’ll likely recognize the vocals, but as for the rest of it, it sounds nothing like Collinswood’s usual outfit, which is actually a good thing. This is a more understated folk-rock effort, without the irritating shock value of FOW, featuring such textured tunes as protest song “Shout Part 1,” the contrasting tones of “Crash That Piano” and the dark waltz feel of “I’m Gonna Haunt This Place.”

In what might be their first concept album, Providence band The Low Anthem kind of grow up as the album progresses (sometimes leaning too much on NSFW commentary), sharing thoughts about youth and memory on songs like the nostalgic “Wzgddmtnwrdz,” with its direct ’60s references; the plainly weird “Ozzie”; and the prophetic “The Pepsi Moon,” a folk-pop commentary on today’s overblown marketing and media world.

PINK GETS A LITTLE BIT COUNTRY Country-rock singer Kenny Chesney usually duets with roots rocker Grace Potter when he’s looking for a singing partner, but for Chesney’s upcoming album Some Town Somewhere, he’s set to stir the mix a little by inviting pop diva Pink along as his collaborator; the two met and became friends while Chesney was working in California. Pink will guest alongside Chesney on a tune called “Setting the World on Fire,” and the album itself is due out on Oct. 28, to be prefaced by his first single from the album, “Noise” …

Singer and actress Ariana Grande has joined the cast for the upcoming TV version of the long-running Broadway musical Hairspray, joining a long list of big-name talent that includes Jennifer Hudson, Kristin Chenoweth, Harvey Fierstein, Martin Short, and Derek Hough. Grande’s been on Broadway before (in 13: The Musical) but is better known for her Nickelodeon roles and recent pop fame.

Hairspray Live!, which will air on NBC this December, takes place in 1962 Baltimore and centers around a television dance program …

Speaking of musicians crossing over into other projects, filmmaker Woody Allen has added recent Teen Choice Awardwinner Justin Timberlake to the cast for his

MODERN

ROCK

BY KRISTI KATES

next movie, which will feature Timberlake in a supporting role alongside Kate Winslet, Jim Belushi, and Juno Temple. The movie itself is, as always with an Allen venture, shrouded in secrecy. It’s set to begin shooting this fall in New York City …

Primus singer and bass player Les Claypool is branching out from pop-rock to soda pop, with a beverage line he’s calling SeaPop. Claypool calls the drink “the world’s first soothing soda,” and the flavor is described as “a gingersnap dipped in vanilla ice cream.” Claypool designed the soda with his teenage son to fend off sugar cravings and soothe stomachaches; it includes herbs like ginger and chamomile.

The project was inspired by Claypool’s own struggles with an inner ear damaged from scuba diving, which has burdened him with frequent motion sickness …

MODERN ROCK LINK OF THE WEEK: Wolf Parade’s Dan Boeckner stopped

by The A.V. Club recently to record a cover of the ’80s protest-pop song by Nena, “99 Luftballoons,” which has renewed interest in the original version; check out the classic track on YouTube at tinyurl.com/plxuhzz …

MINI BUZZ: Crystal Castles debuted a new track called “Concrete” a couple of weeks ago and have followed it up with a music video that features new frontwoman Edith Francis

weaving her way through a crowded dance floor …

Grace Potter fans are prepping for a big show at Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids on Aug. 3 …

Actress/singer/troublemaker Lindsay Lohan is reportedly still under contract to her record company and confirmed during an online appearance that she’s going to start work on album No. 3 after her sister, Ali Lohan, releases her own album …

Bryan Ferry is heading to the Fox Theatre in Detroit for a concert on Aug. 4 …

Hometown boy Joshua Davis is also making his way to the Detroit area for a show at Ann Arbor’s Liberty Plaza on Aug. 4 …

And Spotify has cemented its status as A Really Big Deal, with the Wall Street Journal having confirmed that the streaming music service now has 100 million monthly active users …

Hoping they’ll be Really Big Deals, too, are this week’s new album releases … Jem’s Beachwood Canyon … Dinosaur Jr.’s Give a Glimpse of What Yer Not … Blossoms’ Blossoms … and DJ Snake’s Encore … and that’s the buzz for this week’s Modern Rock.

the ADViCE GOddESS Crazy Cad Lady

Q

: Four months ago, I started hooking up with this hot guy I met on Tinder. He isn’t someone I’d normally go for; he’s a total mess and serious trouble. He always made me come to his place, and I always left feeling gross rather than satisfied. However, about once a month, I’d feel attached and confess this to him. He’d go into hiding, but he always came back for sex. The whole thing made me worried, anxious, and sad, so I deleted his contact info, but I miss him and think about him constantly. How do I stay strong? If he texted me, I’d just run back to his bed.

: Sex that turns your stomach is a small price to pay for romance, like a man whispering sweet nothings in your ear: “Just leave your coat on. This won’t take long.”

Yes, it’s pretty amazing to find yourself missing a man you dislike and maybe even despise. This probably comes out of how there’s a potentially higher price for women from naked fun — ending up with a sex dumpling (uh, child) — and whoops, where did that Hunky McHunkington run off to, now that the kid needs food, diapers, and a college education?

Because women can get “impregnated and abandoned,” anthropologist John Marshall Townsend explains, female emotions evolved to act as an “alarm system” to monitor the “quality and reliability” of male investment and “remedy deficiencies even when (women) try to be indifferent to investment.” In a study of Townsend’s I’ve referenced before, even when women wanted nothing but a shag from some dude — basically seeing him as useful meat — they often found themselves fretting the morning after about whether he cared about them or only wanted sex.

These women aren’t mushy-minded idiots.

Chances are, they’ve been roofied into these feelings — by their own bodies. Oxytocin —a hormone associated with emotional bonding — gets released in both men and women through cuddling, kissing, and orgasm. However, men’s far greater supply of testosterone — especially when they aren’t in a committed relationship — can act as a sort of nightclub bouncer, blocking the uptake of oxytocin.

As for the monthly pull this guy has on you, research by evolutionary psychologists Kelly Gildersleeve and Martie Haselton suggests that once a month — during ovulation — a

woman seeking casual sex is more likely to be drawn to a cad’s more masculine features (like a square jaw and a muscular build). As for how you might quit this particular cad, let’s get real. Deleting somebody’s number doesn’t stop them from calling. You’ve got to block his number. You might also use free smartphone apps -- like Productive, to motivate yourself by ticking off the days you’ve gone cadless, and Clue, to track your ovulation. For added fortitude, make a list of the ways sex with him makes you feel. Being worried, anxious, sad, and grossed out can sometimes be a reason to get a man over pronto — but only if he’s a miracle worker of a plumber.

Q

: I’ve been in love with my former highschool teacher for five years. We grew close when I was a student, but nothing physical happened. I’m now an adult, and we talk frequently (and rather flirtatiously) on the phone. I would pursue him if he weren’t married, with a family. Now I just need to admit my feelings to him and ask what his intentions ever were. I refuse to believe that he finds our constant chats to be completely innocent, and I don’t think I can go on without telling him how crazy he’s making me.

--Smitten

A

: When somebody at a cocktail party asks the guy “What do you do?” his answer isn’t supposed to be “My former students.”

Sure, you’re now an adult. Unfortunately, he’s still a husband. But never mind that; you’ve got feelings clawing to get out. And that is a problem. James Pennebaker, who researches emotional expression, explains that “actively holding back or inhibiting our thoughts and feelings can be hard work.” It causes a lot of tension — which is uncomfortable, making you long to release your pent-up feelings. In other words, a crushing need to be “honest” isn’t necessarily courageous or noble. It’s the psychological version of needing to pee.

As for how Mr. Homeroom feels, probably like a guy whose wedding vows are supposed to trump “hot for teacher.” Luckily, there’s a simple way to avoid the impulse to tell him “how crazy” he’s making you: Cut off all contact. No doubt, it can be a highly rewarding thing for a teacher when his life is changed by a student — except if that change is from happily married daddy to miserably separated dude living in his kids’ backyard playhouse.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): You’re not doing a baby chick a favor by helping it hatch. For the sake of its well-being, the bird needs to peck its way out of the egg. It’s got to exert all of its vigor and willpower in starting its new life. That’s a good metaphor for you to meditate on. As you escape from your comfortable womb-jail and launch yourself toward inspiration, it’s best to rely as much as possible on your own instincts. Friendly people who would like to provide assistance may inadvertently cloud your access to your primal wisdom. Trust yourself deeply and wildly.

Nature is Your Neighbor

Stop by… you will never want to leave!

advance for the seemingly excessive abundance of good news I’m about to report. If you find it hard to believe, I won’t hold your skepticism against you. But I do want you to know that every prediction is warranted by the astrological omens. Ready for the onslaught?

1. In the coming weeks, you could fall forever out of love with a wasteful obsession. 2. You might also start falling in love with a healthy obsession. 3. You can half-accidentally snag a blessing you have been half-afraid to want. 4. You could recall a catalytic truth whose absence has been causing you a problem ever since you forgot it. 5. You could reclaim the mojo that you squandered when you pushed yourself too hard a few months ago.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): ): August is

Adopt-a-Taurus month. It’s for all of your tribe, not just the orphans and exiles and disowned rebels. Even if you have exemplary parents, the current astrological omens suggest that you require additional support and guidance from wise elders. So I urge you to be audacious in rounding up trustworthy guardians and benefactors. Go in search of mentors and fairy godmothers.

Ask for advice from heroes who are further along the path that you’d like to follow. You are ready to receive teachings and direction you weren’t receptive to before.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): When a parasite

or other irritant slips inside an oyster’s shell, the mollusk’s immune system besieges the intruder with successive layers of calcium carbonate.

Eventually, a pearl may form. I suspect that this is a useful metaphor for you to contemplate in the coming days as you deal with the salt in your wound or the splinter in your skin. Before you jump to any conclusions, though, let me clarify. This is not a case of the platitude, “Whatever doesn’t kill you will make you stronger.” Keep in mind that the pearl is a symbol of beauty and value, not strength.

CANCER June 21-July 22): It’s your lucky

day! Spiritual counsel comparable to what you’re reading here usually sells for $99.95.

But because you’re showing signs that you’re primed to outwit bad habits, I’m offering it at no cost. I want to encourage you! Below are my ideas for what you should focus on. (But keep in mind that I don’t expect you to achieve absolute perfection.) 1. Wean yourself from indulging in self-pity and romanticized pessimism. 2. Withdraw from connections with people who harbor negative images of you.

3. Transcend low expectations wherever you see them in play.

4. Don’t give your precious life energy to demoralizing ideas and sour opinions.

growing weary of wrestling with ghosts. Is that true? I hope so. The moment you give up the fruitless struggle, you’ll become eligible for a unique kind of freedom that you have not previously imagined. Here’s another rumor I’ve caught wind of: You’re getting bored with an old source of sadness that you’ve used to motivate yourself for a long time. I hope that’s true, too. As soon as you shed your allegiance to the sadness, you will awaken to a sparkling font of comfort you’ve been blind to. Here’s one more story I’ve picked up through the grapevine: You’re close to realizing that your attention to a mediocre treasure has diverted you from a more pleasurable treasure. Hallelujah!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Could it be true that

the way out is the same as the way in? And that the so-called “wrong” answer is almost indistinguishable from the right answer? And that success, at least the kind of success that really

matters, can only happen if you adopt an upside-down, insideout perspective? In my opinion, the righteous answer to all these questions is “YESSS???!!!” -- at least for now. I suspect that the most helpful approach will never be as simple or as hard as you might be inclined to believe.

ScORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your strength

seems to make some people uncomfortable. I don’t want that to become a problem for you.

Maybe you could get away with toning down your potency at other times, but not now. It would be sinful to act as if you’re not as competent and committed to excellence as you are. But having said that, I also urge you to monitor your behavior for excess pride. Some of the resistance you face when you express your true glory may be due to the shadows cast by your true glory. You could be tempted to believe that your honorable intentions excuse secretive manipulations. So please work on wielding your clout with maximum compassion and responsibility.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Did you

honestly imagine that there would eventually come a future when you’d have your loved ones fully “trained”? Did you fantasize that sooner or later you could get them under control, purged of their imperfections and telepathically responsive to your every mood? If so, now is a good time to face the fact that those longings will never be fulfilled. You finally have the equanimity to accept your loved ones exactly as they are.

Uncoincidentally, this adjustment will make you smarter about how to stir up soulful joy in your intimate relationships.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may experience a divine visitation as you clean a toilet in the coming weeks. You might get a glimpse of a solution to a nagging problem while you’re petting a donkey or paying your bills or waiting in a long line at the bank. Catch my drift, Capricorn? I may or may not be speaking metaphorically here. You could meditate up a perfect storm as you devour a doughnut. While flying high over the earth in a dream, you might spy a treasure hidden in a pile of trash down below. If I were going to give your immediate future a mythic title, it might be “Finding the Sacred in the Midst of the Profane.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) I’ve worked

hard for many years to dismantle my prejudices.

To my credit, I have even managed to cultivate compassion for people I previously demonized, like evangelical Christians, drunken jocks, arrogant gurus, and career politicians. But I must confess that there’s still one group toward which I’m bigoted: super-rich bankers.

I wish I could extend to them at least a modicum of amiable impartiality. How about you, Aquarius? Do you harbor any hidebound biases that shrink your ability to see life as it truly is? Have you so thoroughly rationalized certain narrow-minded perspectives and judgmental preconceptions that your mind is permanently closed? If so, now is a favorable time to dissolve the barriers and stretch your imagination way beyond its previous limits.

PIScES (Feb. 19-March 20): Are you lingering

at the crux of the crossroads, restless to move on but unsure of which direction will lead you to your sweet destiny? Are there too many theories swimming around in your brain, clogging up your intuition? Have you absorbed the opinions of so many “experts” that you’ve lost contact with your own core values? It’s time to change all that. You’re ready to quietly explode in a calm burst of practical lucidity. First steps: Tune out all the noise. Shed all the rationalizations. Purge all the worries. Ask yourself, “What is the path with heart?”
