Constitutional Sheriff!

According to Northern Express, if you uphold the Constitution of the United States, then you are a right wing racist. If that’s true, they must be unconstitutional, left wing communists. This is in regard to their slanted article on Benzie County’s Sheriff Ted Schendel. The article had to do with illegal immigration, which simply means that they are illegal! Schendel calls himself a “Constitutional sheriff ” because he actually takes his oath of office seriously to defend the Constitution against all enemies, both foreign and domestic.

Unfortunately Schendel has both enemies, and some in his own county. He is unlike Grand Traverse County Sheriff Tom Bensley, who even stated that he is not a Constitutional sheriff. Since he took the same Constitutional oath, then what is he?

Let’s not forget Benzie’s former Sheriff Rory Heckman, who stated that, “It concerns me that the sheriff would think that they’re the top law enforcement official in the county.” If Heckman and the majority of ignorant Americans would do any of their own research they would find it to be a fact that a lawfully elected sheriff is indeed the top law enforcement official in their county. If I was a sheriff, I would want to know if thieves, rapists, child molesters, or murderers were in my county, whether they were here legally or not. Unfortunately the people of Grand Traverse County don’t care, since some of them want to welcome illegal criminals by declaring Traverse City to be a sanctuary city.

The article did correctly state that some Benzie County residents are concerned about Schendel’s “constitutional sheriff ” status. Some might feel that way, but the majority of the people in Benzie County stand firmly with our sheriff and our law is also already on the books — the Second Amendment!

Gordon Lee Dean, Benzie County

Grant’s Passion And Perspective

Thank you, Grant Parsons, for your recent column. Your passion always shows on your “shirt sleeve,” and it sure wears well.

You have a gift in your ability to describe issues and often a perspective on how best address an issue. Keep on keeping on. We so need your voice and your advocacy.

Last week the Senate held the final vote on repealing the Affordable Care Act. It failed to pass. What now? Three possible options: Medicare for all, for Congress to work in a united fashion to improve the ACA, make it better. The worst possible option is to let the ACA implode.

The ACA was never a perfect plan.

Some persons face unaffordable premiums, while many others finally gained healthcare coverage. An MLive article quoted local doctor Dr. Leja saying ACA is a “godsend.”

After that last vote, President Trump announced he will let the ACA implode. It is not going to implode on its own; instead we are witnessing acts of sabotage.

How? 1. Cutting enrollment outreach.

2. Executive order of 1/20/17 directing Dept. HHS to “exercise all authority and discretion available to them to waive, defer, grant exemptions from, or delay the implementation of any provision or requirement of the Act...”. 3. The administration may be lax in enforcing the individual mandate. 4. The administration has been unclear if they will continue to fund the crucial cost-sharing reduction aspect of ACA. Anthem (health insurer) states insurers are in retreat because of the “Republican sabotage..” (Washington Post).

In April, Trump told the Wall Street Journal “..he would cease paying out the costsharing reductions.” Google “sabotaging Obamacare.”

The worst option is to sit and let (or push) the implosion of the ACA. Doing nothing means those paying high premiums will continue paying high premiums, and due to ongoing sabotage these premiums are likely to rise ever higher. Doing nothing also means many will lose their coverage.

People will die from loss of coverage!

Doing “nothing” should not be an option. The best option: Medicare for all.

MANAGING FOREIGN POLICY opinion

BY jack segal With even FOX’s Chris Wallace citing “tremendous disarray” in the Trump White House, maybe I should explain why I’m still hoping that order might yet emerge from the chaos.

Chief of Staff General John Kelly has joined Lt. General H.R. McMaster in an effort to impose order on the President’s front office.

Both have spent enough time in combat and in Washington — two similar environments — to realize that they need to take charge … if Donald Trump will let them. Whether the president can curb his accessibility to his many friends, his love of Twitter, and his inclination to attack his own senior staff, might well determine the Trump legacy.

appropriate assistant to the president who would assign an NSC staffer (like me, in former days) to begin a process aimed at addressing the president’s instructions. What the president wants done needs to be clear.

Usually 140 characters just won’t suffice.

I recall one instance where President Clinton was appalled by pictures on TV of desperate Kosovar Albanian women and children struggling through the snow to escape attacks from their Serbian neighbors. “Get those pictures off my TV. What are we doing about this?” he asked. That was clear enough guidance from the president to trigger the decision-making process.

What will not work is if the White House staff tries to run the entire government from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., or worse, is unable to install any orderly process.

I’ve told folks who know my background, which includes two tours on the Clinton National Security Council staff, that what is happening is not unprecedented. Infighting, rapid staff turnover, and conflicting policy pronouncements accompanied the early presidencies of former Govs. Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton. Their trusted former staffers, advisers, political supporters, and friends were pretty much clueless about national decisionmaking. Initially, both isolated themselves from the professionals who occupied staff 2 Color: positions in the NSC and government PMS 7459 Light Blue departments. familiar?

PMS 7462 Dark Sound Blue To imagine what is happening now, picture this scenario: Jared Kushner walks into the Oval Office and Dad-in-law says, “Jared, haven’t you gotten anything going yet on Israel/Palestine (or reimagining criminal justice, or reforming the Veterans Administration, or solving the opioid crisis)?”

Jared walks out of the Oval Office and looks at his few assistants — none of whom do more than handle his appointments. White House staffing is at a virtual standstill with the warring camps — White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon and McMaster — holding key National Greyscale: K 100% /Council K 75% staff positions hostage.

Security

Fonts: Gotham Black / Century Expanded

How does the POTUS-to-Kushner talk differ from what happened in the White House where I served? First, the positions in President Clinton’s outer office were staffed by experienced people — Clinton loyalists, to be sure — but people who understood that running a state Governor’s office is child’s play compared to overseeing the 2 million people of the U.S. government. They knew how to ensure that issues reaching the president’s desk were “ripe”: fully vetted within the government, discussed with key members of Congress, massaged by budget experts, and consistent with the president’s goals.

What should happen when poor Jared receives his marching orders from the president is something like this: First, Kushner would alert both Kelly and McMaster of a new requirement from the president. Next, McMaster would task the

4 • august 7, 2017 • Northern Express Weekly

For me, the task was to do what government does: call a meeting.

With my boss — an assistant to the president — we would put together a “deputies committee” meeting — inviting the deputies from state, defense, CIA, and others whom we thought should attend. That usually would trigger the typical Washington response: “Why does my boss have to come to that meeting?” or “Why isn’t my boss invited?”

After refereeing the attendance battle, we would send out the agenda for the deputies’ meeting. This would trigger another flurry of calls: “Why is that on the agenda?” or “Why isn’t the agenda going to include … ?” You get the picture: bureaucracy in action (“the swamp”). The idea was to engage all the required elements of government and get them behind the president’s program.

A deputies meeting usually resolved some issues, leaving just a few knotty problems for a subsequent meeting of “the principals.” Issues that remained after the horse-trading by the principals would go to the president for adjudication. What I’ve described took time, but it allowed “the process” to work. Bad ideas got tossed. And the ultimate product would reflect policies that were hopefully coherent and durable.

What will not work is if the White House staff tries to run the entire government from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., or worse, is unable to install any orderly process. Our government is definitely bloated, but if the president and his inner circle keep trying to short circuit the decision-making process, key constituencies won’t be consulted, and prior experience will be ignored. The results will look incoherent — policy toward the Middle East, Russia, and China, to cite a few examples — and strategy will get neither formulated nor articulated.

Maybe, just maybe, two experienced generals can finally rescue this presidency before we stumble into a disaster.

top five Have You Seen This Otter?

Most otters feast on fish, frogs, crayfish, and crabs. The small, stuffed guy who made his way to Petoskey Farms Vineyard and Winery on July 28 … ? Well, hopefully he’s got a taste for dry, lightly oaked reds.

Tasting room staff found the fuzzy fella abandoned and alone last Friday; within 24 hours they launched a search for the otter’s rightful owner via the winery’s Facebook page. Although more than 400 folks have shared the initial post, the otter’s owner has not yet been found. So far, the winery’s safekeeping seems to suit the stowaway, whose antics — frolicking in the Frontenac grapes, hanging out at a visiting food truck, taking tours of the winery’s newest equipment — are getting solid play on Petoskey Farms’ social media. At press time, a video call to name the otter had nabbed more than 1,400 views and 46 suggestions overnight. Chime in, follow — or help find the otter’s owners — at www.facebook.com/petoskeyfarms.

When The Moon Hits Your Eye The Great American Eclipse is coming.

But is it so great? So rare? Well, says Mary Stewart Adams, program director at the Headlands International Dark Sky Park in Harbor Springs, “Eclipses happen every year — twice each year … What’s actually rare about solar eclipses is the geographic region where the shadow falls, because this changes from one eclipse to the next.” Here in northern Michigan, we’ll see only about 75 percent of the sun eclipsed; the middle of the country, however, will have quite a shadow show. It’s in what Adams calls “the path of totality” and people there, she said, will witness “that dramatic effect where daylight turns to twilight, birds and other creatures are said to act strangely, and the profound sense of being in an altered state prevails.” Since the next total solar eclipse won’t come again for the country until 2045, and the last total eclipse visible in Michigan was in 1925, you just might want to take a peek through the Headlands’ Lunt solar telescope, which will be open to viewers on the day of the eclipse, August 21. midarkskypark.org, (231) 348-1713.

bottomsup Short’s Brew Melt My BrainSalmon No matter how you feel about Short’s Brewing Company’s new partnership with Lagunitas Brewing Company, which is wholly owned by Heineken International, it’s hard to dispute historical fact: Short’s beer experiments — at least those that make it to market — are as consistently innovative as they are damn good. The Bellaire-based brewer’s Melt My Brain is a case in point. A seasonal golden ale, brewed with coriander, pine-y juniper berries, and a tongue-ringing sluice of lime and tonic, is a little sweet, a little tangy, but offers significantly more depth and heft per gulp than your granddad’s gin and tonic. An ideal backyard beer for summer, Melt My Brain clocks in at a lawn-mowing-readiness rating of 3.8 percent ABV. Find it on tap at Short’s pub (121 N. Bridge St., Bellaire, 231-4982300) or in bottles at dozens of retailers around northern Michigan (shortsbrewing.com).

THE DIFFERENCE spectator by stephen tuttle Republicans, trying for seven years now, still haven’t repealed or replaced the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA).

Maybe they need a different approach.

231-946-8810 • 890 Munson Avenue • Traverse City • 49686

Between 2010 and 2017, the Republicancontrolled U.S. House and Senate voted to repeal the ACA more than 50 times. It was a free vote since they knew President Obama would veto any repeal, and they didn’t have nearly enough votes to override. So they merrily, and somewhat pointlessly, repealed it over and over.

Things are different now.

When the ACA passed in 2010, Democrats controlled the White House, Senate, and House of Representatives. Republicans now control the White House, Senate, and House.

The ACA now enjoys a slim margin of public support, according to the most recent polls.

Conversely, only 17 percent and 19 percent respectively supported either the House or Senate repeal plan. It seems we don’t love the ACA but prefer to keep it.

Is it working? Depends on who is talking.

The cold numbers, supplied by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) which oversees it, are open to interpretation.

Trump has done almost nothing to close the sale because he doesn’t know what he’s selling.

The ACA discussion played out over several months, including input from all stakeholders, moving through three committees in the House and two in the Senate. There were nearly 80 public hearings, 130 amendments offered, and 79 roll-call votes. The Senate alone debated the measure for 25 straight days.

The recently failed Senate repeal bill was put together by 13 senators — all Republicans and all men — in secret meetings. Democrats, many Republicans, and stakeholders were not invited. There were no public hearings, and only 20 hours of debate were allowed.

Obama, a noted policy wonk, knew details of the ACA and openly campaigned for it. He made campaign-style speeches, held town halls, and made an ACA-specific speech to a joint session of Congress. He assiduously courted recalcitrant legislators, praised them publicly, made deals for their state, and made more deals with insurance companies. (His less charitable critics called them bribes.)

President Trump clearly did not know the details of either the House repeal bill — he called it “great,” only to refer to it as “mean” a few days later — or the Senate version. He made no supporting speeches and had minimal involvement with stakeholders or the legislative process. He insulted and threatened recalcitrant legislators.

MIMEDIAVENTURE@GMAIL.COM

To be fair, the Democrats of 2010 had an advantage over the Republicans of 2017. Providing something people needed but didn’t have — access to healthcare — was an easier sell than taking it away years later. And while Democrats temporarily unified, Republicans are still split between some who don’t want ACA benefits repealed and those who don’t support the benefits at all.

Since it began, a bit more than 20 million Americans have availed themselves of some kind of health care coverage through the ACA. The majority have benefited from the expansion of Medicaid coverage in 31 states and the District of Columbia. About 11 percent of the country is still not covered, compared to the peak of 18 percent in 2013.

The insurance marketplaces have spotty trouble areas. Rates in rural areas have increased dramatically. More than 40 percent of U.S. counties now have only one insurance provider. Premiums are likely to increase another 10 to 18 percent this year and next.

Overall, ACA premiums have increased 59 percent since 2013, but real customer costs have risen significantly less. For example, the most popular ACA insurance, the silver plan, has increased its deductible to nearly $4.000. But individual and insurance company tax breaks and subsidies will reduce that amount by 70 percent or more for most families.

Once the subsidies and tax breaks are included, the overall cost for an average family of four has actually remained fairly stable.

In the end, all Democrats and no Republicans voted for the ACA, and all Democrats and three Republicans voted against its repeal. The ACA remained law, and the repeal efforts failed.

The Republican approach, so far, has been to meet in secret and emerge with a plan no one has seen that eliminates health care benefits for about 20 million Americans.

A very tough sell. Trump has done almost nothing to close the sale because he doesn’t know what he’s selling.

None of that proves Obama is a better president than Trump, but does demonstrate he was both a better dealmaker and salesman when it comes to legislative issues. In a circumstance ripe for deal-making (remember the 130 amendments in the ACA?), Trump’s self-proclaimed expertise was invisible.

This is a rare instance when Republicans and President Trump might want to take a page out of the Democrat and President Obama playbook and proceed carefully and openly.

The difference is staring them in the face: The ACA is still law, and their seven years of repeal are not.

Crime & Rescue WOMEN FACE WEAPONS CHARGES Two women face charges after they allegedly took a gun and a knife to a Traverse City home and demanded drugs.

Melanie Renee Schaub, 34, and Kayla M. Uhlbeck, 31, who share a Traverse City address, face felony weapons charges following an incident July 26.

A woman told Traverse City Police that the defendants came to her home, told her “Dave” had taken their “medicine,” and yelled and demanded to see “Dave.” When the woman told them that she would call police, Uhlbeck pulled a gun from her purse, waved it around, and said, “Oh, yeah, go ahead,” according to the charges. When the woman closed her door, Schaub allegedly took out a knife and tried to pry the door open.

When an officer found the women walking nearby, Uhlbeck admitted she had a handgun, and Schaub had a bayonet-like knife strapped to her waistband.

TEEN ARRESTED AFTER CRASH Police say a 17-year-old was drunk when he lost control of his 2005 Jeep Cherokee on a Cheboygan County road and crashed into trees.

Cheboygan County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched at 8:30am July 28 to Hebron Township, where the Cheboygan youth had driven through an intersection and crashed. The driver apparently did not suffer serious injuries; he was taken to jail on drunk driving and driving without a license charges.

CHARGES COULD FOLLOW CRASH A man could face charges after a Leelanau County crash.

Sheriff’s deputies found a 30-year-old Lake Ann man belted into his Jeep after a rollover crash at East Duck Lake and Macksey roads, near Suttons Bay. The vehicle was on its side, and the man was helped out and taken to Munson Medical Center to be treated for a shoulder injury.

Deputies determined alcohol was a factor in the crash, which had occurred just before 1am July 30; they submitted a report to prosecutors.

BUSTED FOR POT, SCHNAAPS, AND NORCO A Kalkaska man pulled over for tinted windows was arrested after he admitted he’d smoked three marijuana joints and had a bottle of schnapps in his car. Police also noticed white powder on his nose.

State police made the stop on M-66 near Lund Road at 9:20pm July 28. The trooper noticed an odor of marijuana emanating from the 23-yearold’s car and smelled intoxicants on the driver.

The trooper found a marijuana joint and an open bottle of peppermint schnapps in a search of the vehicle. As the man was arrested for operating under the influence of drugs and possession of marijuana, he also was found to be in possession of six tablets of the painkiller Norco.

OFFICERS REVERSE OVERDOSE Manistee police revived a man who suffered an apparent Fentanyl overdose.

Officers were called at 11:38am July 30 to a home on the 300 block of Seventh Street, where they found a 24-year-old man lying on the floor, unresponsive. Bystanders told the officers that the man might have overdosed on Fentanyl, a powerful opioid.

When officers Kirsten Goodspeed and Jeremiah Haner determined the man wasn’t breathing properly, Goodspeed administered Naloxone while Haner used a portable medical device to help the man breathe.

The man was revived and taken by paramedics to Munson Manistee for treatment.

MAN WANTED FOR ASSAULT A Williamsburg man went on the lam after he choked his girlfriend and destroyed her phone to prevent her from calling for help.

Kalen Francis Clark faces charges of assault with intent to do great bodily harm and interfering with an electronic communications device; he is charged as a three-time habitual offender.

Clark began an argument with his girlfriend on July 20, and then choked her until she could not breathe, according to the charges. The woman got away, but Clark grabbed her, slammed her head against a wall, and then took her phone and smashed it on the ground as she tried to call a friend for help. The case was investigated by Grand Traverse County Sheriff’s deputies.

Clark was charged July 27, but a week later, still hadn’t been picked up by police.

TWO KILLED IN MOTORCYCLE CRASH Two people were killed in a chainreaction motorcycle crash near Torch Lake.

Antrim County Sheriff’s deputies were called to E. Torch Lake Drive, near Walling Road, where a woman stopped her SUV to make a left turn, another car rear-ended the woman’s car, and the vehicle was pushed into the path of a motorcycle.

The driver of the motorcycle, 29-year-old Kevin Copeland, and passenger, 24-year-old Erica McCurry, were pronounced dead at the scene.

Both were wearing helmets.

The crash happened at 3:07pm July 30.

Jacob Stanley Kiefer was arrested July 31 after a short foot chase, Sheriff Dale Clarmont said.

No one was injured.

Kiefer was wanted on charges of possession with intent to deliver narcotics, charges that carry 40 years in prison. He will be charged as a habitual offender, which could mean life in prison if he is convicted. Kiefer has been sent to prison on drug charges in the past, Clarmont said.

Investigators are attempting to determine if Kiefer supplied the drugs responsible for two recent overdoses in the county; both overdose victims survived.

DRUG CASE LEADS TO POLICE CHASE A man sped off when Cheboygan County Sheriff’s deputies attempted to pull him over to arrest him on felony drug charges.

The 27-year-old Cheboygan man led police on a pursuit that started on Wing Road, down Riggsville Road, and into Emmet County, where the driver sideswiped a car and crashed into a patrol vehicle before turning onto US-31 and crashing into a ditch in a construction zone.

The Threatened American Worker A local chapter of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees in Battle Creek, Michigan, is butting heads with Western Michigan University this summer after the school brought in a goat crew to clean up an overgrown woodlot on campus, leaving union workers without jobs. The AFSCME’s grievance cites a collective bargaining agreement with WMU, but university officials counter that “the area is rife with poison ivy and other invasive species,” which are difficult for humans to remove. The 20-goat crew, rented from Munchers on Hooves in Coldwater, Michigan, is ahead of schedule in clearing a 15-acre area.

With Friends Like These ...

Robert Kanoff, 49, celebrated Independence Day in an unusual way: High on drugs, he was dropped off in his birthday suit at a Tempe, Arizona, Walmart by two people who thought it would be “funny to see him naked,” said police. There he walked around the store wearing only shoes and carrying methamphetamines.

Maricopa County sheriff ’s officers caught up with him around 10 p.m. across the street from the store.

The Entrepreneurial Spirit First bikes, then cars ... now umbrellas.

Maybe. Sharing E Umbrella hit the streets of 11 Chinese cities in April with more than 300,000 umbrellas for rent from subway and bus stations. Unfortunately, the company’s founder, Zhao Shuping, didn’t provide instructions about returning the rentals after use, and most of the umbrellas have disappeared. Zhao noted his mistake, saying, “Umbrellas are different from bicycles. ... With an umbrella you need railings or a fence to hang it on.” He plans to replenish his stock with 30 million umbrellas nationwide by the end of the year.

Questionable Judgments The Do Son Buffalo Fighting Festival, in which water buffalo are pitted against each other, has been a tradition in Hai Phong, Vietnam, since the 18th century. But on July 1, buffalo trainer Dinh Xuan Huong, 46, met his doom when his own bull turned on him. The buffalo first knocked Dinh to the ground, then flipped him over its head, goring Dinh’s leg with its horn. Dinh later died at the Vietnam-Czech Friendship Hospital. Buffalo fighting was stopped in the country during the Vietnam War, but the fights resumed in 1990.

Under the Influence -- Police in Slidell, Louisiana, stopped a “car full of drunks” on July 8 and arrested the driver for driving while intoxicated. The car’s passengers rode home in a taxi, but one of the women then drove back to the police station to bail out the driver. Slidell officers arrested the woman for DWI, and she joined her friend in jail. “Lesson of the day,” Slidell officers posted on their Facebook page: “Don’t drive drunk to a police station in order to bail out your drunk friend!”

-- Police in Swansea, Illinois, suspect the heir to a brewery fortune has graduated from driving drunk to flying high. August Adolphus Busch IV, 53, landed his helicopter around noon on July 10 in an office complex parking lot outside St. Louis. Police and FAA investigators were still trying to determine

why he had landed there and whether any aviation laws had been broken when they were called back to the parking lot around 8 p.m., where Busch, appearing to be intoxicated, was trying unsuccessfully to take off. Swansea police reported that Busch failed field sobriety tests but passed a breath test, and after they secured a warrant, Busch was taken to a local hospital for blood tests. (Also found in the helicopter: four loaded guns, several prescription pill bottles and eight dogs.) At press time, no charges had been filed.

Lacking a Filter Baseball fans at the Los Angeles DodgersKansas City Royals game in Dodger Stadium on July 8 were treated to some righteous moves on the dance cam by “Rally Granny,” an older fan who capped her performance by flashing her bra at the 40,000-plus spectators. “You don’t see THAT much at a baseball stadium,” deadpanned Dodgers first baseman Cody Bellinger (who actually missed the spectacle).

From Bad to Worse Two women in Arlington, Texas, called police for help on July 10 as a mentally ill man doused himself with gasoline in preparation to commit suicide. When responding officers began talking with the distraught man, he poured more gasoline on himself and appeared to be holding a lighter in his hand. Hoping to subdue him, one of the officers used his Taser on the man and the gasoline ignited, engulfing him in flames. Officers wrapped him in blankets and removed him from the house. His family reports he was severely burned, and at press time he was in critical condition.

Now You Have Our Attention -- On July 6, IRS workers in Ogden, Utah, received a fake bomb from Normand Lariviere, 68, of Olympia, Washington. The U.S. Navy veteran and former civilian defense contractor has been disgruntled with the Department of Defense since his dismissal in the 1990s and has a history of mailing disturbing objects to the IRS to protest paying taxes. In 2016, Lariviere sent one of his fingers, a bullet and a marijuana joint to tax collectors.

“Many things I could do,” he threatened. “I’m not going to tip my hand.”

-- Drivers speeding down Bedford Street in Lakeville, Massachusetts, may touch the brakes when they spot a parked police cruiser at the side of the road. But the “vehicle,” a plywood and aluminum sign painted to look like a Crown Victoria blackand-white, is a ruse perpetrated by resident Kelly Tufts to get drivers to slow down. Tufts parks the “car” in his driveway, especially on weekends, to protect dogs and kids from speeding traffic. “We’ve had some people give us the one finger,” Tufts said. “If it was their neighborhood, they’d enjoy it.”

Awesome!

A mathematician in Bucharest, Romania, scored a 44,900 euro profit when he made an exciting discovery at a flea market there: a rare World War II Enigma machine, used by the Nazis for encrypting messages. After paying the unwitting seller just 100 euros ($114 U.S.) for it, he took it into his care, cleaning and repairing it and learning how it worked. On July 11, a Bucharest auction house sold the machine for 45,000 euros ($51,500 U.S.) to an unnamed bidder.

FARM FRESH MUSIC,

By Kristi Kates

Ready for Harvest!

Farm Fest, the music event that happens every August, is likely the only concert that bills itself as a “Moooosical Magical Happening.” And probably the only one where you might also see cows.

But grazing fellow concert goers aside, there’s good reason 2,000 folk music fans are drawn to what they call “Stacy Jo’s Farm,” just east of Gaylord, each summer: The ambiance and acoustics from a mainstage built at the bottom of a wooded natural amphitheater makes for an unforgettably intimate Up North music experience.

If folk’s your bag, pack one; this multiday fest offers an immersive opportunity to eat, sleep, and breathe music as you enjoy a full crop of local and regional folk-based performers — traditional bluegrass and country acts as well as those bringing reggae and rock to the pasture.

COUNTRY CLUB Many of Farm Fest’s performers return year after year, which adds a friendly, clubby feel to the event. Familiar to Farm Fest goers will be The Blue Water Ramblers, classic harmonizers led by Banjo-Jim Foerch, who sings of times long past and stories of farmers, lumberjacks, and pioneers. The group also will lead a traditional dance at Farm Fest, with Banjo-Jim making the calls and teaching newbies how to participate.

Also back on the roster is Dr. Goodhart’s Home Remedy, an old-timey outfit crooning classic country sounds; roots rocker Drew Nelson with more of his Americana originals; E Minor with jazz and blues-infused folk; Earthwork Music Collective favorite May Erlewine with her reliable folk and fromthe-heart soulful swing; Gaylord’s Jake Allen (from The Cookies) with his popular rock tunes; and local solo artist Kirby with music for kids and adults.

DOWN ON THE FARM Further into Farm Fest weekend, you’ll be treated to some sounds newer to the festival. Alex Mendenall is at the fest this year promoting his 2016 full-length album Into the Hinterland; his mix of soul-folk with interesting foot percussion arrangements is a must-listen. Monte Pride is a new Michigan-based import with

darkened melodies and carefeul guitar riffs reminiscent of Nick Drake. Grand Rapids’ indie folk band Watching for Foxes’ unique sound and impressive harmonies is another to listen for. Also appearing this year is the bluegrass-based variety band Full Cord; groove-rockers The Honorable Spirits; and Marsh-Mellow Entertainment import Jack and the Bear, the industrial-rock band from lower Michigan that’s drumming up plenty of interest for its Randy Newman-meetsBruce Springsteen hybrid sound.

In The Village of Empire Friday ~ August 11th ~ 3pm to 6pm 231-326-2278 WWW.SLEEPINGBEARGALLERY.COM

THE PICKIN’ SHED While everything you’ll see on the main stage is well worth your time, there are a lot of other activities at Farm Fest that are equally worth the price of admission — among them, the popular Parkin’ Lot Pickin’ event that brings together skilled and amateur strings players for informal jam sessions. If you’re after some strong percussion, hit up the Drum Kiva to get your fill of beats, the dance pavilion to appeal to your feet, or the Second Stage’s open mic show, where you’ll get an early peek at the next wave of potential Farm Fest headliners.

PASTURES OF PLENTY In between all of that music, you’ll need sustenance, which you’ll find at the on-site Feedbag Café, which skews toward wellseasoned, complex vegetarian fare and encourages “BYOD,” or bring your own dishes to help limit the use of throw-away paper and plastic plates. (A dish-washing station sits behind the dining area for your convenience.)

After eating, stroll through the shaded vendors’ village to find artwork, crafts, earth-inspired clothing, jewelry, or another souvenir of your time spent at Farm Fest.

IF YOU GO The 2017 Farm Fest takes place August 10–13 at Stacy Jo’s Farm, 20 miles east of Gaylord. Festival grounds open Thursday at noon and close Monday morning; on-site camping is available. Weekend passes, which include camping, are $80 per person in advance, $95 at the gate. Daily passes are $30 per person. Visit the festival’s official website at farm-fest.com or call (989) 6193333 for ticket information, a complete schedule, and detailed directions.

Perfect Storm,” that served as the basis for the film by the same name • one of this nation’s best-known (and most inspiring) poets All events are in City Opera House at 7 p.m. unless otherwise noted.

DOUG STANTON

nonfiction author Sunday, Sep. 17 It’s an interesting time for local writer and Interlochen Academy for the Arts graduate Doug Stanton, whose previous books of military non-fiction, “In Harms Way,” and “Horse Soldiers,” became New York Times bestsellers. “Horse Soldiers” is in development as a film by producer Jerry Bruckheimer (of Black Hawk Down, Pirates of the Caribbean and Con Air fame) and will star A-list leading man, Chris Hemsworth.

In addition, Stanton’s latest book, “The Odyssey of Echo Company: The 1968

ALICE WATERS

chef, author and leader in the farm-to-table movement Sunday, Sept. 24 In the past 20 years, the farm-to-table movement has caught on in a big way with chefs, environmentalists, and consumers here in northern Michigan and elsewhere.

The emphasis on farmers markets, heirloom fruits and vegetables, and locally sourced ingredients is now woven into many American’s daily lives. Along the way, Alice Waters, the chef who helped start it all at

her Berkeley, California, restaurant Chez Parnisse, has become a leading public policy advocate for healthful food. Her appearance dovetails with the Local Harvest Restaurant Series (Sept. 18–24), which will be held at various Grand Traverse-area restaurants.

Waters, whose latest book is “Coming to My Senses: The Making of a Counterculture Cook,” will be interviewed by veteran chefs Jennifer Blakeslee and Eric Patterson, coowners of Traverse City restaurant The Cook’s House.

TERRY MCDONELL

editor, memoirist Friday, Oct. 13 Legendary editor Terry McDonell offers bold advice to writers: “Avoid sameness, shun formula, let it rip.” McDonell’s new memoir, “The Accidental Life,” discusses his long career that has included work for Rolling Stone, Newsweek, Esquire, Time Magazine

and Outside Magazine. Along the way, he befriended many colorful writers, including (Michigan novelist and poet) Jim Harrison, Edward Abbey, and Kurt Vonnegut. The New York Times calls “The Accidental Life,” “a savvy fax from a dean of the old school.”

The event features an interesting twist: a few would-be authors selected from the audience will have a chance to pitch their dream magazine stories to McDonell.

Guest host will be Doug Stanton, who helped co-found the National Writers Series.

DANIEL GERBER

poet, journalist, magazine collaborator (with Jim Harrison) Friday, Oct. 27 - at Bluewater Hall 13424 SW Bay Shore Dr. Traverse City-based ForeWord magazine has called Daniel Gerber’s poems “quick, graceful, alert to their surroundings, and rarely wasting motion.” A Michigan State University graduate and Michigan Notable Book Award winner, Gerber’s latest volume of poems, “Sailing Through Cassiopeia,” adds to his long list of poems, essays, and journalistic reportage published over the years in The Nation, Poetry Magazine, The Michigan Quarterly Review, and The New Yorker. He has been nominated for two PushCart Prizes, received the Mark Twain Award in 2001, and in 1992 earned the Michigan Author Award. Gerber also cofounded the literary magazine Sumac with

his friend and collaborator Jim Harrison.

Host for the event will be former Interlochen Arts Academy director of creative writing, Michael Delp, who in addition to his active writing life serves a mentor to the Front Street Writers Program in Traverse City, which operates under the auspices of the National Writers Series.

MURRAY HOWE

memoirist and son of hockey legend Gordie Howe Sunday, Nov. 12 It could have been tough growing up as the only one of hockey legend Gordie Howe’s three sons who didn’t excel at sports. But Murray Howe ‘s upcoming memoir, “Nine Lessons I Learned from My Father,” shows how his father was much more than a sports icon. He portrays Gordie as a generous, grounded and principled father — one who showed true greatness on and off the ice.

Those lessons took hold. Today, Murray Howe practices radiology as the head of sports medicine at a Toledo clinic.

Guest host will be longtime Michigan sports writer John U. Bacon, author of such works as “Bo’s Endzone: The Rise, Fall, and Return of Michigan Football”; “Three and Out: Rich Rodriguez and the Michigan Wolverines in the Crucible of College Football”; and “Fourth and Long: The Fight for the Soul of College Football.”

SEBASTIAN JUNGER

author, journalist, and documentary filmmaker Wednesday, Nov. 15 Sebastian Junger wears many hats. In addition to writing the nonfiction work “The Perfect Storm: A True Story of Men Against the Sea,” which was later adapted to film, he is also a filmmaker whose 2010 documentary, “Restrepo,” was nominated for an Oscar. More recently, Junger has become a well-established broadcast journalist due, in part, to his many TED talks.

He returns to the National Writers Series to discuss his most recent book, “Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging,” a study of war and its aftermath for veterans returning home.

Junger will be interviewed by Marine Corps Vietnam veteran Philip Caputo, whose bestseller, “A Rumor of War,” is widely considered a classic retelling of personal war experiences. Caputo later become a member of a Pulitzer prize-winning Chicago Tribune team of journalists that uncovered election fraud in Chicago. He has written five books of general nonfiction and eight novels. His latest work, the novel “Some Rise By Sin,” will be published this year.

NIKKI GIOVANNI

poet, non-fiction author, children’s author Sunday, Dec. 3 America’s grande dame of poetry, Nikki Giovanni comes from a long line of southern

storytellers. That heritage informs her highly expressive, simple, direct style and helps explain her appeal to young and not-soyoung readers alike. Giovanni returns to the NWS with her about-to-be released book, “A Good Cry: What We Learn from Tears and Laughter,” which recalls family violence, her lucky escape to loving grandparents, and the gratitude she holds for her long friendship with poet and civil rights activist, the late Maya Angelou.

Giovanni, a sought-after speaker, delivered a moving memorial poem for the shooting victims at Virginia Tech, where she serves as distinguished professor.

Guest host for the evening will be Traverse City-based poet, author, and essayist Fleda Brown, whose works include “The Woods Are On Fire” and “Meditations on Cancer and the Creative Life.” Brown served as poet laureate of Delaware from 2001 to 20017, and has won a Pushcart Prize and the Philip Levine Prize, among other awards.

NMC’s $34 Million Facelift Since 1951, Northwestern Michigan College’s quiet corner under the pines has seen many changes, but perhaps none so substantial as those happening now.

With two major construction projects underway and a massive one in the works, the community college’s campus will never be the same.

By Patrick Sullivan

M

uch of the Northwestern Michigan College campus is a construction zone this summer.

A 21st-century residence hall is almost finished, and the completion of a glass-walled addition to the Dennos Museum that will double the amount of display space isn’t far behind.

The biggest project hasn’t even commenced: construction of a new library and “innovation center” is set to begin in the spring and will cap $34 million in projects that will transform the campus.

The projects come amid declining enrollment and strife between administrators and the school’s faculty unions. NMC President Tim Nelson said the projects are necessary to make the school resilient for the future. He believes that in order to offset declining enrollment, the school needs to attract students from across Michigan and around the world.

A DIFFERENT KIND OF DORM North Hall isn’t your father’s dormitory.

The $8 million, three-story building will house 136 students in 36 four-bedroom suites. That means each student gets her own room; Laundry facilities, a fitness center, and study rooms will be on the second and third floors.

“These are set up with four bedrooms, each with their own locks, two bathrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and the facility has an attached fitness center that’s usable by the people in the residence hall and also the rest of the college community,” Nelson said.

North Hall is scheduled to open this fall at the north end of campus. For three years, the school rented a nearby motel, located south of campus, to house students. Nelson is pleased the school can now offer a modern dormitory.

“We were renting that because we were at capacity,” Nelson said. “Those rooms served our purpose for what we needed at the time,

but it really wasn’t what our students would be looking for. As a long-term solution, they are hotel rooms, and what we built in North Hall has the ability for students to cook — and our international students, they look for that type of amenity, to be able to cook their own dinner when they want to.”

The school has long needed space to house more students on campus, but administrators didn’t want just any space.

They wanted housing that would attract students. So far, North Hall has done that.

It’s already 90 percent full, said Vicki Cook,

place to live,” he said. “Given the current status of rental property in our region, that’s not a realistic option.”

Nelson would also like to see a greater portion of the student population live on campus. He recalls when he first worked at NMC in the mid-1970s, managing West Hall (it was demolished in 2009) and the campus apartments. At that time, 25 percent of students lived on campus; today, five to 10 percent of students live on campus.

“You know, having people live on campus changes the tenor of the place,” Nelson said.

“We could recruit somebody and say, ‘Okay, come to college, [now] go find some place to live,” he said.

“Given the current status of rental property in our region, that’s not a realistic option.” vice president of finance and administration.

Campus housing is filled mostly with students from the area, however, leading Nelson to believe the college should build another residence hall like North Hall to house the increasing numbers of out-of-area and international students. He hopes to do that in the near future.

“We’ve had waiting lists for three or four years. We have programs that are attracting people from outside the area,” Nelson said.

“Vicki’s office would have people coming in every week, asking if there’s some place that they could move into.”

Programs that offer specialized degrees, such as the school’s unmanned aerial systems program or the culinary institute, attract students from far and wide, but finding them a place to stay once they get here has proven difficult.

“We could recruit somebody and say, ‘Okay, come to college, [now] go find some

DENNOS: ONE LAST PROJECT Gene Jenneman came to NMC to build the Dennos Museum. A quarter century later, he’s put off his retirement a few years to oversee its major expansion.

The new-and-improved Dennos is slated to be complete in mid-October, and the museum will open to the public a month afterward.

“I think it’s going to be an amazing facility. I go through there about every two weeks,” Nelson said. “It was already a worldclass facility, but these additions, I think people are going to be blown away.”

The renovation was made possible by a $1 million gift from Barbara and Dudley Smith III for expansion of the Inuit art area, plus $2 million from Diana and Richard Milock for adding exhibit space to show more items from the Dennos’ permanent collection. Fundraising is underway to make

up the balance of the $5 million cost.

Jenneman is excited about how the building is coming along.

“This is something I’ve wanted for a long time. You know, I came here to build this place,” he said.

Jenneman, who previously worked at museums and planetariums in Erie, Pennsylvania, and Alpena, Michigan, was hired at NMC to oversee the design and construction of the Dennos. Over the years, as the museum’s permanent collection expanded, he started to think about how the building could be bigger. In 2006 he went to Michael and Barbara Dennos, the philanthropists who made the museum possible.

“I said to them, ‘We need to define the next phase of the museum — what is it going to look like? — or at least conceptualize the idea, so that we can prepare for that to happen in your lifetime, so you can see the evolution,’” he said.

The Dennoses donated money so that initial expansion plans could be drawn up, but then the recession happened, and Jenneman’s wish for the couple to see their legacy’s evolution went unfulfilled: Michael Dennos died in 2012, and Barbara died the following year.

The gifts from the Smiths and Milocks restarted the project’s momentum, but it was Jenneman’s announcement that he intended to retire in 2015 that kicked the museum expansion into high gear.

Nelson had asked him to delay retirement, and Jenneman said he would, on one condition: The expansion of the Dennos. “I told him, ‘Well, you know what I want. Until the president says we should move forward, you know, it’s not going to happen.’”

Now that the expansion is almost complete, Jenneman’s retirement is again on the horizon. He plans to stay on for one more year to pass the institution to new hands. He also wants to take some time to appreciate the new space, which is topped with towering ceilings and enclosed with

banks of windows that shower the exhibition rooms in natural light.

The added space will better integrate classrooms into the museum.

“Part of the goal here is that having the permanent collection in its own galleries will allow faculty here on campus to look at the permanent collection and define works that they can teach to,” he said.

Before, instructors would retrieve works from the collection and show them to students in the museum’s multi-use room; now students will be able to go back and look at the works again and again.

“How often will those galleries change? It will be determined by what the requests are from the faculty and how often we want to change them just to refresh them, which will probably be on a yearly basis,” Jenneman said.

A NEW KIND OF LIBRARY Like resident halls, college libraries are not what they used to be.

What’s currently dubbed the West Hall Innovation Center and Library is expected to break ground in spring 2018. The $21 million project will replace the decades-old Osterlin Library and aspires to become the heart of NMC’s campus, Nelson said.

“Our vision for that is that it can be open 24/7, and people can use the library, they can use the meeting rooms, there will be access to food,” Nelson said. “It will be a place where students and community groups can … create more of a community center.”

The new facility will be built around the existing cafeteria, book store, veterans’ conference room, study area, and the WNMC radio station. It’s undetermined how much those existing facilities will be renovated in the construction or whether anything will be moved to new locations, though the cafeteria will remain and be remodeled to be integrated into the new building.

Nelson sees the facility as a center for students and people in the wider community to meet up, work, and hang out together.

“You have various technology groups, maker spaces, hacker spaces, things of that nature,” Nelson said. “If they have a home, then it’s something else our students can get involved in, and so rather than having

this separation between college student and community activity, we create spaces where those groups can interact.”

Given its intended purposes, the center won’t resemble a traditional library, even though there will be stacks and a reference desk and books that can be checked out.

Libraries are no longer what they were in the 20th Century.

“They are completely different,” Nelson said. “When I went to school, you went into a library to be quiet, and study, and do research. You go in libraries today, and people eat, people have computers. They are alive, there is sound. That would have driven librarians of my day crazy, because that wasn’t what they were for.”

How do you design a 21st century library? NMC administrators visited community college libraries that were recently constructed, they surveyed staff and students, and they worked with designers and architects.

The building will be constructed to be adaptable because the previous decades have showen that there’s no telling what’s going to be needed in the coming decades.

That’s why, when an estimate for renovating the Osterlin Library to meet modern needs came in at $4 million, with no guarantee the facility could be adaptable in the future, NMC administrators decided to start from scratch and build more than just a library. They learned a lesson about adaptability several years earlier, when architects determined nothing new could be done with the dormitory wings at West Hall, which were ultimately removed.

“These should be long-term buildings, so these are being designed with … fewer hard interior walls. That was one of the problems with West Hall. We looked at trying to convert it to other things,” Nelson said. “In that late-1960s style that it was built, there were very short-spanned walls; everything was concrete. There was really not a lot you could do without massive, massive, and expensive renovations.”

The Osterlin building will likely be renovated after the West Hall project to become a central location for student support services.

DECLINING ENROLLMENT AND LABOR STRIFE Brandon Everest, a sociology professor and faculty association president, said he and other staff are excited about improvements, but he hopes that administrators are just as serious about the well-being of faculty.

He said it is frustrating that millions of school budget dollars have been dedicated to construction when the future of some faculty is in doubt.

“I think it’s hard to imagine any teacher not being excited in investment in their school,” Everest said. “But under the circumstances … it throws the question of budget priorities into light.”

Administrators have offered retirement buy-outs and have floated the possibility of layoffs in order to reign in a budget deficit, Everest added, and faculty are frustrated that instructors who leave are often replaced with adjuncts who are paid less and able to do less for students.

“That they seek to balance the budget on the backs of faculty is a hard pill to swallow,” Everest said.

Nelson said faculty and staff had a voice throughout the planning process for the projects, and he hopes for better administration-faculty relations in the future.

“It’s going to be up to us as a group, as a total group as a college, to go to the future, and I’m expecting that we’re all going to do that, and there will be bumps along the way,” Nelson said. “We can’t get there without faculty, and we can’t get there without support staff, so we have to. And we have traditionally worked together, and I have confidence we’ll do that again.”

Nelson said the school needs to evolve in the face of declining enrollment.

Not only are there fewer traditional 18-year-old students at NMC (and at community colleges everywhere), but enrollment of 25- to 35-year-old students at NMC is also low. Nelson said fluctuations in enrollment based on the economy are predictable, but there is something else happening across the country that’s causing fewer young adults to enroll in college, and he isn’t sure what it is.

“I don’t think anybody has an explanation yet,” Nelson said. “Some of it could be demographics, depending on the part of the country, but when you look at the country as a whole, I don’t think that that’s a sufficient answer. Part of it could be the way colleges and universities deliver their programming, and we’re in the state of transformation. … The way we did things for many, many, many years won’t be the way we’re doing them in the future.”

Enrollment Ebb & Fall

The size of NMC’s student body spiked after the economic crash of 2007, but then went into steady decline. Peaking at 12,319 students in the 2010–11 school year, the number of students attending the school has been falling since.

A Brilliant Idea

One designer’s LED ribbons have sparked a host of high-tech fashion creations for young TC inventors

By Ross Boissoneau When fashion model and designer Anina returned to visit her hometown of Traverse City from China earlier this year, she sought to encourage and excite others about the intersection of fashion and technology. The firstname-only Traverse City native grew up with brothers who went to code camp at Pathfinder, and she was always comfortable around and fascinated by computers, math, and science.

Anina never lost her fascination with the trappings of technology, even as she became an internationally successful fashion model.

She eventually found her way to China, where technology is a way of life. As she told The Ticker earlier this year, she went there in the early 2000s because, “Nobody (else) wanted to do this stuff. I’m going where there are 1.3 billion people who like blinky stuff.”

She soon found success there as well, being named China’s top foreign model in 2009. What’s more, Anina was able to combine her interests: The first blogging fashion model, she graduated to working with the likes of Nokia, Samsung, IBM, and Microsoft, creating large-scale events that married fashion with technology. She has spoken at technology conferences such as Dutch Week of Innovation, TechNode, and Mobile World Congress. She’s the CEO of 360 Fashion Network, creators of the LED ribbon and other “smart” fashion tech kits.

Now she’s helping and inspiring local designers to incorporate technology into their clothing designs. When she visited Traverse City this spring, she brought with her examples of 360’s lighted LED ribbons incorporated into items like dresses, scarves, and purses. Anina also sought out opportunities to connect with others and spoke with a number of groups: chambers of commerce, tech entrepreneurs, maker groups, and students among them.

If she was looking to inspire others, consider her mission accomplished. Rose Soma of Traverse City was one of the students excited by the combination of technology and fashion, though she admits she had a head start. “I want to be a fashion designer. My mom has a degree in home [economics] and taught me how to sew when I was little,” Soma said.

Soma has displayed some of her efforts at the “Trashion” show at Traverse City West High School, creating useful, attractive items from things that were otherwise going to be thrown away. Soma first became acquainted with Anina online, but when she saw Anina showcase the LED ribbons locally, Soma saw potential for using them in items as disparate as necklaces and backpacks. In the former, she uses the lights to accent the colored glass in the necklace; in the latter, she showcases the ribbons through clear vinyl.

Soma’s not stopping there. “Heated clothing is really interesting. The rotating dress (a dress with a motor that makes the fabric move, another item Anina has demonstrated] is very cool. I want to experiment with that in the future.”

While fashion is often seen as “girly and delicate,” according to Soma, technology is anything but, conjuring instead images of factories or computers, both of which are dominated by males. “It’s cool to see them come together,” Soma said.

About Face

Any good look begins with a great foundation, faces included are not excluded from that philosophy. After a summer spent under the sun, slathered with sunscreen, and spritzed with insect repellent, you’ll want to renew your skin and update your features with a fashion-forward reboot. Here’s what treatments and trends local beauty experts swear will get your face into shape — and style — for fall. By Kristi Kates

Before you even think about moisturizer and makeup for fall, prep your pores. Esthetician Torri Cheadle of Boyne City’s En Vogue Salon recommends a deepcleaning via the 60-minute Aveda Perfecting Plant Peel ($65).

“This is such a great facial with so many benefits,” Cheadle said. “It increases skin radiance, decreases visible wrinkles, refines pores, and evens out your skin tone. It’s so great and doesn’t cause any irritation. You can even go right back out into the sun the same day.”

Cheadle explained that the Aveda Peel is much like a traditional chemical/glycolic peel, but instead of chemicals it uses allnatural plant ingredients.

“The first step is a rich, clay-like mask,” Cheadle said. “The second is the ‘activator,’ a water-based gel that starts a thermal process, warming the mask and activating the peel.”

The mask application is prefaced by a basic facial cleanse, fine-bristle exfoliation, an application of Aveda’s tulasāra oil, and a short aromatherapy session.

Over in Cadillac, it’s all about a mega-dose of citrus in PoSH Salon’s Vitamin C facial by Glo Therapeutics ($60), brand new to the salon as of about a month ago.

Salon owner Danielle Pettengill said that this one works for all skin types.

“It’s good to carry your summer look into fall, as it delivers a lot of brightness to the complexion,” she said. “It also helps if you have any pigmentation issues, such as dark or rough spots — it really softens the skin.”

PoSH’s Janet Eisenga explains the process: “We start with a cleanse, prep the skin, and then custom blend the two ingredients of the Vitamin C facial mask together,” she explained. “The mask only stays on for about five minutes, and then we remove it and finish with a refreshing end-product, which can be a toner, neutralizer, or moisturizer, depending on your skin. This one really tightens and brightens!”

FACE THE DAY

THE EYES HAVE IT

Big lashes have long been a big trend, but eyelash curlers and lengthening mascara are no longer the tools of choice. Today, staying power is essential, and local salons are meeting demand with longerwearing remedies.

Traverse Beauty Bar offers three options to take lashes to the next level. If you’re on a budget, start small but effectively with the Lotus Mink Lash ($20 per set, $10 for a fitting), a set of full eyelashes on a strip that’s glued to the base of your own eyelashes.

“These are so much more natural-looking than the drugstore variety, they’re easy to apply and remove, and you can re-use them up to 30 times, unlike the drugstore ones that only last one or two times,” said the Bar’s Ellie Conners, esthetician.

Next up is the Beauty Bar’s Lash Lift ($150), which Conners said is “like a perm for your natural eyelashes.” The Lash Lift, which combines the perm procedure and a black lash tint, takes a little over an hour at the Bar, and the restults look as if you’ve curled your eyelashes perfectly every single day for 8–12 weeks. “We say ‘toss your eyelash curler’ and just get this!” Conners said. “It also keeps your lashes healthier if you’re not curling them.”

For top lash luxury, try the NovaLash eyelash extension treatment ($199), a total mascara replacement that’s a favorite of Conners herself. An esthetician will adhere individual NovaLash eyelashes, one by one, to each of your own eyelashes, add in length and volume that goes 24/7.

“I actually have this, and I love it,” Conners said. “I haven’t touched my mascara since I got them. You can swim with them, and you wake up ready to go.”

It takes about two hours to apply your first full set of NovaLashes, which last about a month; it’s suggested you follow up every three to five weeks with a ‘refill’ ($75), that adds lashes to any spots along the lash line that have thinned, ensuring ongoing fullness.

BROW BEATERS

If your brows have become as wild and untamed as your summer, well … good job on the summer part. As for the brows, get ready to rein them back into submission and help reframe your face.

Step one: Tint your brows. A fast, efficient, and inexpensive way to add definition to your brows (and make your eyes pop), a brow tint can be completed in just 10 to 15 minutes and costs as little as $25.

Traverse City’s Allure Salon uses the popular Intensive Brow Tint products. There are six brow shades to choose from, ranging from blonde to dark, and the line enables stylists to fine-tune each shade simply by increasing or decreasing the color’s process time. If you’re starting with a lighter brow, you can either match the color you have, or choose to go darker for more contrast.

“We work to get the brow to compliment your

skin tone and hair,” said Allure’s salon manager, Ashlynn Coonrod.

A more complex process that can make a huge difference to your brows — especially if you struggle with thinning or overplucked brows — is called microblading, where pigment is implanted under your skin with a manual handheld tool and shaped to mimic the look of natural brow hairs.

The process is a specialty of Venus Beauty’s owner, Susan Ruoff.

Ruoff, who’s been shaping brows by tweezer only (no waxing) for more than 15 years, learned about microblading from a client and became instantly enthralled with the possibilities of what it could do for her brow-challenged clients, especially those in greater need of better selfesteem due to illness.

“Microblading is technically tattooing, but I can’t do the kind of work that a tattoo artist does, and most of them can’t do the very, very fine lines required to ‘tattoo on’ individual brow

that look natural and realistic,” Ruoff said.

“They’re both highly skilled arts but are also completely different worlds.”

Because microblading utilizes a small row of finely pointed needles to recreate the look of individual eyebrow “hairs,” wearers don’t get the ‘Sharpie’ black look of a traditional eyebrow tattoo. Think of it more as delicate, subtle trompe l’oeil art for your face.

Ruoff spent several thousand dollars and hours upon hours of training in Chicago to learn the skill. “I was humbled,” she said. “It’s extremely difficult, and the learning curve is huge. But it’s so rewarding to be able to do this for my clients.”

Her effort is your gain: Microbladed eyebrows look remarkable. The process ($500) starts with one three-hour session

that includes measuring, drawing in your customized eyebrow shape, and then permanently ‘tattooing’ each individual hair. Your follow-up appointment six weeks later is included in the price, and involves adjusting the look as needed; from then on you’ll wake up with perfect, smudge-free brows.

“The procedure last one to three years and fades over time,” Ruoff said. “It doesn’t go as deep as a regular tattoo and uses less pigment. It’s a different process since it’s on your face. But having the two sessions is imperative, as that’s what gets you that really pretty finished product.”

Must-have Makeup Shades Trending this fall in makeup colors are shades both rock and Baroque, primarily on the red end of the spectrum, with the strongest components being dark grenadine oranges, gothic wines, and port reds (even on the eyes). Sharp, inky-black graphic lines that taper to the outer corners define those bold eyes. Lips pop with artistic applications (think: two-toned lips á la Jason Wu), eyebrows are smartly groomed but never overdrawn, and cheeks are mostly left to fend for themselves.

One warning: In order to ensure that one colorful spot stands out, like the coppertopped lids seen all over the fall runways, focus color on a single feature (eyes, lips, or brows), and mute the rest of the face to neutral.

Autumn’s Essential

Accessories MAKE TRACKS TO SUTTONS BAY SIDEWALK SALE!

Friday, August 11 and Saturday, August 12 at 8am.

By Kristi Kates Looking for a chic and cheap way to update your fall wardrobe?

We shopped the fall 2017 runways to bring you the quintessential quartet of accessories — all available at Up North boutiques — that’ll easily up your autumn style ante without emptying your wallet.

FLOPPY, WIDE-BRIM HAT Gaylord’s own Lauren Duski helped debut this trend early this year, donning several during her appearance on NBC-TV’s The Voice. A little bit hippy, a little bit rock ’n’ roll, the floppy felted hats became part of the vocalist’s signature style, and dozens of models strutting the runways are following suit. And no wonder: The big, shapely brims frame just about any shape face beautifully and deliver far more sun protection than a sleek fedora and loads more style than a ball cap.

Get The Look, Locally Traverse City’s Diversions in Traverse City offers oodles of floppy wide-brim hats in a range of weights and color. For fall, Diversions coowner Beverly Anderson suggests a striking burgundy wool-felt version by Betmar that’s both warm and structured. “It’s got what I call ‘flopability,’” Anderson said. “It has a little heft to it, so the floppy part won’t flop in your face, and it has a nice, flattering shape.” $40 at Diversions, 104 E. Front St., Traverse City, hatsearch.com or (231)946-6500.

CLASSIC BANDANA No, really. We’re serious. Classic bandanas — the iconic accessory of 1990s rappers and 1800s prospectors — is striking gold once again.

Credit its versatility and availability, but be aware of this simple square’s complexity; how well you execute this trend today is only one part the bandana that you wear and two parts how you wear it. The runways showed that any color goes, but the classic paisley pattern is king. Does that vintage feel contradict the aim of the trend itself, which is to add an air of streetwise, devil-may-care cool to your ensemble? You bet. And that’s the whole point.

Get The Look, Locally In a nod to its cowboy pioneers, bandanas today belong on the neck.

How? Fold the bandana lengthwise to make an extra-wide choker-style wrap, and let a dainty necklace or string of beads tumble out over the top.

Or wind it up in a twist and tie it at an angle over to one side of your neck with the ends free. Glitz and Spurs boutique has a jaunty blue version that’s perfect for either look. $22 at Glitz and Spurs, 207 E. Front St., Traverse City, shop.glitzandspurs.com or (231) 421-9052.

FAVOR A FRINGED HANDBAG Much like bandanas, fringed accessories have made a comeback, another indicator that Western style is creeping into vogue again. Tassels, extra straps, and fringe dominated many fall runways and dozens of hangbags. Suede and leather fringe were both highly visible at the DSquared and Ralph Lauren fall previews, with other takes on the trend surfacing in paracord, iridescent, and cut-fabric versions.

Get The Look, Locally Molly Hyde, owner of Molly’s in Leland (Hyde also owns Daisy Jane in Traverse City), has started stocking the perfect purse for colorful wearers working their way into colder weather: patterned, rug-weave, fringe-trimmed cross-body shoulder bags

by Manos Zapotecas, fair-trade artisans from Oaxaca, Mexico.

“These are a more Bohemian take on the fringe trend,” Hyde said.

“Each one is signed by the artisan who made it, and they’re really cute!” $135 at Molly’s, 105 N. Main St., Leland, mollysleland.com or (231) 256-7540.

CHOOSE A ’90S CHOKER Taylor Swift wore a retro elasticized choker just as spring arrived and since then, this ’90s trend has shown no sign of being a passing fancy. Whether woven, beribboned, or made of pearls or gold, chokers are taking over major fashion stores, and local artisans are taking — and making — stock. Smitten Designs Studio in Boyne City (118 Water St., (231) 497-6488), tells the Express that, inspired by a flood of customer requests, it’s now creating handcrafted chokers to add to the studio’s jewelry lineup for fall.

Get The Look, Locally If you’re into one-of-a-kind, consider a custom or handcrafted choker first, but if you can’t wait, cruise into Claire’s Accessories mega-jewelry headquarters in TC, where you’ll find a wide range of takes on this trend, including versions made of metal, edgy black lace, woven nylon cording, and ribbons appliqued with various motifs. $4.50 and up at Claire’s in the Grand Traverse Mall, 3200 W. Airport Rd., Traverse City, claires.com or (231)947-9075.

FEMME PHENOM Angel Schauer was Mancelona High School’s first female wrestler. She was also Miss Mancelona.

As the wunderkind gets ready to enter college, we check in to find out her next move.

By Al Parker When the two wrestlers met at the center of the mat, the Pine River grappler smirked, then openly snickered at his opponent, who glared back with steely determination.

Within seconds, the Mancelona wrestler — a relatively inexperienced sophomore — went for a favorite move, a Sunset Flip, and the cocky Pine River lad found himself pinned to the mat by Angel Schauer, the first female wrestler in Mancelona school history.

“The guy laughed at me, and I got angry,” said Schauer with a wide smile. “I pinned him in 25 seconds. He was really shocked when the ref blew the whistle. It was like ‘what happened?’”

The video of that sudden pin shows Schauer slipping a right arm under her opponent’s neck while her left arm gets under his right arm. She quickly rolls back, smoothly flipping him over, then ends up on top for the sudden pin.

It was only one of 70-plus wins that Schauer posted over her four-year high school wrestling career. The wrestler graduated from Mancelona High School in June.

A big turning point in Schauer’s wrestling life took place in 2014 when, as a sophomore, Schauer went to Oklahoma for a national competition. “I won my first match and went from there,” she said. “It was a mouthful of competition.”

Competition has always been a way of life for Schauer. Her dad, Brandon Schauer, was active in mixed martial arts and ran a gym in Mancelona where Angel trained since she was a little girl. Dad coached her

until some health issues made that difficult.

Schauer cites Mancelona coaches Scott Crothers and Joe Johnston with helping her become a better wrestler.

“Angel is a dedicated, hard worker,” said Johnston, who coached her during her junior and senior seasons at Mancelona.

“She never bowed down to her competition.

Even if her opponent was 10 pounds heavier, she’d go after it with all she had. She’s very goal-oriented. I never had to worry about her making weight or eligibility or anything.”

“My biggest competition is myself,” said Schauer. “Before each match I would drill my moves and play out in my mind how the match would go. Skill and style make the match. I like the flashy moves, like the Sunset Flip. I also like The Olympic, sort of a judo flip, where you grab a wrist and flip your opponent over your hip. It’s an almostinstant win.”

Schauer admits that as a freshman wrestler she wasn’t very good.

“But I decided to get better, and I worked my butt off,” she said. “My team was super supportive. I didn’t get many wins as a freshman, but I got more serious as a sophomore and decided to put my very best forth on the mat. As a junior and senior, I dominated.”

During her senior season, Schauer was joined on the Mancelona team by another female, Breanna Benham. But still there were very few other women wrestling on the squads the Mancelona team competed against, including those from Kalkaska, Pine River, Grayling, Manton, and Roscommon.

“Ninety percent of the time I was wrestling guys,” said Schauer. “But I encourage other

22 • august 7, 2017 • Northern Express Weekly

women to try the sport.”

During Angel’s matches, her mother, Mary Schauer, and brothers, Coby and Brandon, would cheer her on. “I’ve always been proud of her,” said Mary, who works at Munson’s Wound Care Center in Traverse City. “We always supported her, but I was nervous seeing her go against the boys. But she’s determined. She’s gonna prove her point. I’m the worrywart who cheerleads.”

During her wrestling career, Schauer trained furiously six days a week. A typical day began with a 5am workout at home, then it was off to school, where she would work out during gym class. After school, it was time for two hours of wrestling practice, followed by a session at a Mancelona gym in the evening.

A typical workout would start with lots of stretching to loosen her muscles, followed by drills on an array of wrestling moves, including take downs and arm clinches.

She’d add in some work on new moves and techniques, followed by at least 30 minutes with a 25-pound kettle bell to build strength and stamina and develop strong hands.

“Lots of kettle bells,” she said with a laugh. “That gave me an iron-on grip. I would leave bruises on the arms of my opponents.

Someone called me ‘The Arm Taker,’ but I don’t really have a nickname. I’m just Angel.”

Nickname or not, Schauer belies any stereotypes one might have about a woman wrestler. Rather than muscle-bound, she looks more like a beauty queen — which she also is. In October 2016 she was chosen for a one-year term as Miss Mancelona.

It was just another form of competition in which the 18-year-old excelled.

While in high school, Schauer was in the public safety program at Traverse City’s Career Tech Center. She plans to study law enforcement at Northwestern Michigan College in the fall. But wrestling is not totally in her rearview mirror. She plans on starting a wrestling club at NMC, which does not have intercollegiate sports programs.

“I’m just trying to make the world a better place,” she said. “I’m self-driven. I love the competition, but at the end of the day, it’s all for me.”

ANGEL WEIGHS IN Wrestler shares her take on Mayweather-McGregor fight

As a lifelong mixed martial arts fan, Angel Schauer is looking forward to the Aug. 26 showdown in Las Vegas between boxing champion Floyd Mayweather and MMA titleholder Conor McGregor.

Mayweather is 49–0 with 26 knockouts, while McGregor is 21–3 in MMA contests.

Betting in Las Vegas opened with Mayweather as a huge favorite, but recent odds show -800 on Mayweather and +500 for McGregor. That means a $100 bet on McGregor would win $500 plus the original wager back if he were to win. In order to win $100 with a Mayweather victory, someone would have to wager $800.

So who does Schauer see winning this big showdown?

“I hope Conor wins,” she said. “That will shock the world.”

By Kristi Kates The annual Traverse City Summer Microbrew and Music Festival is turning 10 years old this August. One of TC’s premier summertime events, the festival heads back to the front lawn of the Village at Grand Traverse Commons August 11 and 12.

ALOE BLACC SEEKS AMERICA’S TREASURES Singer and hip-hop artist Aloe Blacc, so far best known for his collaboration with Avicii on the hit single “Wake Me Up,” will host a new 3-D documentary called America’s Treasures, which will explore American culture through its music. In the film, Blacc will tour locations like New York City, New Orleans, Chicago, and Detroit, highlighting the stories of such artists as Louis Armstrong, Ramsey Lewis, Gloria Estefan, and more. The film will be directed

by Greg MacGillivray and aims to “celebrate the unique diversity of cultures that characterize our nation as expressed through our music.” Look for America’s Treasures late this year or early in 2018 …

Jennifer Lopez, currently overseeing her new reality competition show World of Dance, is also prepping to release a new album, which will be her first Spanishlanguage set in over a decade. Lopez already has released two singles from the album: The first, the ballad “Mirate,” she performed at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards. The second, “Ni Tú Ni Yo,” just out last week, features Lopez’ vocals over a busy mix of guitars and horns. The as-yet-unnamed album will be released later this year …

But One Direction, which has already launched solid solo ventures for singer/actor Harry Styles (solo album/ film Dunkirk), Zayn Malik (solo album/ collaboration with Taylor Swift), Niall Horan (solo album), and Liam Payne (solo single), is challenging that fate. Its fifth member, Louis Tomlinson, has just signed to a solo deal at Epic Records. Tomlinson already has a track out (“Back to You”) with Bebe Rexha, as well as a collaboration with Steve Aoki. His solo album is expected to surface in 2018 …

Alt-rock singer and guitarist St. Vincent, aka Annie Clark, has been fairly quiet since her Best Alternative Album Grammy award and Saturday Night Live performance a couple of years ago, but now she’s set to hit the road for a new tour (her Fear the Future trek) and is also hinting at a new album that might be out later this year. Michigan fans will be glad to hear that the first North American leg of her tour will kick off with a show at The Fillmore in Detroit on Nov. 13.

FOURSCORE by kristi kates

Colton Dixon – Identity – Capitol Stacking blocks of electronica and pop upon his established base of spiritual alternative rock, Dixon’s latest pulls together sympathetic mental ponderings, encouraging anthems, and conceptual explorations in an ambitious undertaking that mostly works, thanks to the common thread of his hook-writing abilities and sure-footed vocals.

Highlights “All That Matters” and the vibrantlyperformed “In My Veins” emphasize the way Dixon can construct a song to fill and overflow a stage, even as he delivers a solid message.

Blackfield – V – KScope

This album leans on a conceptual approach, but from a surprising genre angle. This is pop filtered through Floydian prog rock, with loads of orchestral interludes, a hint of ’70s hair band (thankfully, not too much), and some solid oldschool radio rock on tracks like the unswerving “Lately.” An impressive instrumental (“Salt Water”) serves as a dividing line between two later segments of the album, while the biggest reveal might be the uber-dramatic arrangements of “Undercover Heart.”

Micah Tyler – Different – Columbia/Fair Trade

The obvious question would be to ask if this new album from Tyler is indeed different or unique sounding, compared to others of a similar pop genre. The answer? Unfortunately, not really. Tyler has a strong, capable voice and an optimistic outlook, both of which gleam confidently throughout this set, but the songs themselves are too predictable, repeating common turns of phrase and conventional chord patterns. That said, Tyler’s heart is in the right place, and there are those striking vocals, so hopefully “different” will mean “much better” next time.

Alanson Riverfest

Chris Quilala – Split the Sky – Sparrow Records

Pulling heavy influences from ’80s synth and poetic lyrical work, Quilala’s first solo set marries electronic swirls with memorable chillpop refrains for a combination that’s both modern and instantly easy to listen to. “Because of Your Love” sets some serious thought above a funky little bus-stop beat, and the vocals on “Encounter” and “Reign” do some serious borrowing from Josh Groban, while a prettily rendered duet with singer Kari Jobe (“Surrendered”) rounds out this promising and positive collection of new tunes.

Watercolor Under The Bridge

shove it under the bed relieves you of the need to suggest an even better location: a la “Can I offer you a steak — mesquite-grilled with just a hint of carcinogenic paint fumes?”

Q

Wife In The Fast Lane

: A guy my girlfriend dated seven years

ago is now an aspiring artist, and he gave my girlfriend one of his paintings.

It’s abstract, splashy, and horrible. I find it disrespectful of him to give it to her (because she’s in a relationship). She said he does lots of paintings, sells almost none, and gives them as gifts to all of his friends. I asked her to throw it away, but she said that would be “too mean” and shoved it under the bed. Am I being overly jealous, or is it wrong to accept gifts from exes?

— Chafed

A

: Art — especially abstract art — says different things to different people. To you, the painting screams, “Ha-ha, I had sex with your girlfriend!” To everyone else, it’s probably an expression of a moment — the one that came seconds after “Outta the way! I had some bad clams!”

It makes sense that a gift from a guy to your girlfriend would set off your internal alarms.

Consider, as evolutionary behavioral scientist Gad Saad points out, that one sex — the male one — woos (as in, tries to get the other into bed) with gifts. When a guy arrives to pick a woman up, she doesn’t open the door with “Surprise, bro! Got you these roses! Take off your pants!”

As I somewhat frequently explain, this difference comes out of how sex can cost women big-time in a way it doesn’t cost men — with pregnancy and the 18-year after-party.

So, women evolved to go for men who are willing and able to invest in any little, uh, nipple nibblers they give birth to, and gift-giving can be a signal of that.

Your being upset over the painting could be a subconscious reaction to this. But considering that this guy is handing out paintings like they’re “We Buy Gold!” leaflets, this gift to your girlfriend is probably a sign of a few things: He paints badly (though prolifically) and lacks storage space.

In general, as for whether it’s okay to accept gifts from exes, context counts. Did the two people break up just yesterday or a decade ago? Are there still feelings bubbling up? Was the ex’s gift, say, a tire jack or a diamond-encrusted thong?

Because this was just an ugly painting given to your girlfriend by a friend (long stripped of benefits), she did the kind thing and accepted it.

So maybe just appreciate that her willingness to

Q

: I’m a 31-year-old woman, and I’ve been

dating my boyfriend for 10 months. I was hoping to get married eventually. Well, my friend goes to this famous “relationship coach” who says that if a guy doesn’t ask you to marry him within the first year, he never will. Is that true? It’s making me feel anxious and worried that I’m wasting my time.

—Two More Months?

A

: It’s comforting to believe that somebody has the magical knowledge that can get us to happily ever after. That’s why there was a movie called “The Wizard of Oz” and not “The Dishwasher Repairman of Oz.” In fact, we crave certainty and get freaked out by uncertainty. Psychologically, a guarantee of something bad happening is way more comfortable for us than the mere possibility that it could. This sounds a little nuts, but it makes evolutionary sense, because uncertainty leaves us on constant alert, which is both psychologically and physiologically draining.

When research subjects are given a choice — get an electric shock for sure right then and there or possibly get surprised with a shock later — they overwhelmingly opt for the certain zapping in the present. And neuroscientist Archy de Berker found that people experienced greater physical stress responses (sweating and enlarged pupils) when a shock came unpredictably than when they knew it was coming.

This is why it can be tempting to buy into an “expert’s” doom-and-gloom timetable — despite countless examples disproving their “Marry before the year’s out or spinsterville forever!” pronouncement. And consider something else: University of Pisa psychiatrist Donatella Marazziti finds that people in love are basically hormonally inebriated for a year or two. Also, it’s typically adversity -- which tends to be in short supply during a year of romantic picnics and spa vacations — that shows what two people are made of and how well they, as a couple, weather life’s kicks in the teeth. You know…like after you encourage your partner to be true to that inner voice -- and he listens: “Thanks to you, honey, I’m quitting my soulkilling six-figure job to become a professional pogo stick artist.”

(July 23-Aug. 22): Each of us comes to know the truth in our own way, says astrologer Antero Alli. “For some it is wild and unfettered,” he writes. “For others it is like a cozy domesticated cat, while others find truth through their senses alone.” Whatever your usual style of knowing the truth might be, Leo, I suspect you’ll benefit from trying out a different method in the next two weeks. Here are some possibilities: trusting your most positive feelings; tuning in to the clues and cues your body provides; performing ceremonies in which you request the help of ancestral spirits; slipping into an altered state by laughing nonstop for five minutes.

physical aches, psychic bruises, and chronic worries. Take inventory of your troubling memories, half-repressed disappointments, and existential nausea. Do it, Pisces! Be strong. If you bravely examine and deeply feel the difficult feelings, then the cures for those feelings will magically begin streaming in your direction. You’ll see what you need to do to escape at least some of your suffering. So name your griefs and losses, my dear. Remember your near-misses and total fiascos. As your reward, you’ll be soothed and relieved and forgiven. A Great Healing will come.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): I hope you’re

making wise use of the surging fertility that has been coursing through you. Maybe you’ve been reinventing a long-term relationship that needed creative tinkering. Perhaps you have been hammering together an innovative business deal or generating new material for your artistic practice. It’s possible you have discovered how to express feelings and ideas that have been half-mute or inaccessible for a long time. If for some weird reason you are not yet having experiences like these, get to work! There’s still time to tap into the fecundity.

writer Eduardo Galeano defines “idiot memory” as the kind of remembrances that keep us attached to our old self-images, and trapped by them. “Lively memory,” on the other hand, is a feisty approach to our old stories. It impels us to graduate from who we used to be. “We are the sum of our efforts to change who we are,” writes Galeano. “Identity is no museum piece sitting stock-still in a display case.” Here’s another clue to your current assignment, Taurus, from psychotherapist Dick Olney: “The goal of a good therapist is to help someone wake up from the dream that they are their self-image.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Sometimes,

Gemini, loving you is a sacred honor for me -equivalent to getting a poem on my birthday from the Dalai Lama. On other occasions, loving you is more like trying to lap up a delicious milkshake that has spilled on the sidewalk, or slow-dancing with a giant robot teddy bear that accidentally knocks me down when it suffers a glitch. I don’t take it personally when I encounter the more challenging sides of you, since you are always an interesting place to visit. But could you maybe show more mercy to the people in your life who are not just visitors? Remind your dear allies of the obvious secret -- that you’re composed of several different selves, each of whom craves different thrills.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Liz, my girlfriend

when I was young, went to extreme lengths to cultivate her physical attractiveness. “Beauty must suffer,” her mother had told her while growing up, and Liz heeded that advice. To make h e r long blonde hair as wavy as possible, for example, she wrapped strands of it around six empty metal cans before bed, applied a noxious spray, and then slept all night with a stinky, clanking mass of metal affixed to her head. While you may not do anything so literal, Cancerian, you do sometimes act as if suffering helps keep you strong and attractive -- as if feeling hurt is a viable way to energize your quest for what you want. But if you’d like to transform that approach, the coming weeks will be a good time. Step One: Have a long, compassionate talk with your inner saboteur.

If you decide to take advantage of the opportunity, please keep in mind these thoughts from designer Elissa Giles: “Enlightenment is not an asexual, dispassionate, head-inthe-clouds, nails-in-the-palms disappearance from the game of life. It’s a volcanic, kick-ass, erotic commitment to love in action, coupled with hard-headed practical grist.”

ScORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Some zoos sell

the urine of lions and tigers to gardeners who sprinkle it in their gardens. Apparently the stuff scares off wandering house cats that might be tempted to relieve themselves in vegetable patches. I nominate this scenario to be a provocative metaphor for you in the coming weeks. Might you tap into the power of your inner wild animal so as to protect your inner crops? Could you build up your warrior energy so as to prevent run-ins with pesky irritants? Can you call on helpful spirits to ensure that what’s growing in your life will continue to thrive?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The fates

have conspired to make it right and proper for you to be influenced by Sagittarian author Mark Twain. There are five specific bits of his wisdom that will serve as benevolent tweaks to your attitude. I hope you will also aspire to express some of his expansive snappiness. Now here’s Twain: 1. “You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.”

2. “Education consists mainly in what we have unlearned.” 3.

“It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare.” 4. “When in doubt, tell the truth.” 5. “Thunder is good, thunder is impressive; but it is lightning that does the work.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “My

grandfather used to tell me that if you stir muddy water it will only get darker,” wrote I. G. Edmonds in his book Trickster Tales. “But if you let the muddy water stand still, the mud will settle and the water will become clearer,” he concluded. I hope this message reaches you in time, Capricorn. I hope you will then resist any temptation you might have to agitate, churn, spill wine into, wash your face in, drink, or splash around in the muddy water.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In 1985,

Maurizio Cattelan quit his gig at a mortuary in Padua, Italy and resolved to make a living as an artist. He started creating furniture, and ultimately evolved into a sculptor who specialized in satirical work. In 1999 he produced a piece depicting the Pope being struck by a meteorite, which sold for $886,000 in 2001. If there were ever going to be a time when you could launch your personal version of his story, Aquarius, it would be in the next ten months. That doesn’t necessarily mean you should go barreling ahead with such a radical act of faith, however. Following your bliss rarely leads to instant success. It may take years. (16 in Cattelan’s case.) Are you willing to accept that?
