HIT SEND! All Courage In his July 30 Jamestown speech, Donald Trump gave a public and courageous voice to his position of slavery condemnation, thus sacrificing literally dozens of votes that would have come from the pro-slavery segment of his electorate. And this coming from the man so recently accused of racism.

Bob Ross, Pellston Fantasy Land Mr. Knapp, regarding your letter in the July 29 issue of Northern Express, I have seen too much reality to believe your mythological fantasy called right-to-life.

Go tell it to the gold star mothers who hold a folded flag where they once held a child raised with loving care. Tell it to the children who saw their classmates shot in school, while those who make the weapons of war laugh all the way to the bank about the joke called right-to-life. Tell it to the children down in Flint who drank the poison lead. We saved the taxpayers money; it is our sacred duty. The golden calf said so!

Ronald Stetson, Msgt (E7) USAF retired, Traverse City Two Russian Patriots The U.S. Senate majority leader — formerly “the Grim Reaper,” now “Moscow Mitch” — refuses to allow the Senate to consider two bills dealing with election security, after Mueller’s report identified numerous ways Russia interfered with the 2016 election, including Michigan’s election. In addition, McConnell refuses to have the Senate consider over 100 bills sent to the Senate by the House of Representatives that would benefit our country, including his Kentucky.

The second Russian patriot is President Trump, who aligns himself with Putin. As a narcissistic liar whose only ambition is to enrich himself with another monument, i.e. Trump Tower Moscow. Trump refuses to listen to our intelligence community concerning international issues. His former director of national intelligence quit, and Trump wanted to fill the vacancy with John Ratcliffe, a congressman who belittled the Mueller report at the recent hearings and another “yes man” who would not stand up to Trump and give him an honest assessment of national issues including the nuclear arms treaty with Russia.

Ron Dykstra, Beulah See Beyond Skin and Origins You, Charles Knapp [author of rightto-life letter featured in July 29 issue], are part of the problem with what is wrong in America today. Yes, I love this country and most people in it. No, I do not like the man leading this country, his assisting of the GOP party, and the danger they represent to our country. You continue to lie about Democrats, saying we want all open borders. Wrong! We want safe, welcoming borders that do not have so much backlog that they do not function.

Most of the vegetables and fruits you eat each day would not be on your table without migrant workers. Most are seeking a better, safer life and are hard-physicallabor workers — work most Americans refuse to do. Show some respect.

Trump spreads fear based on the small percentage who create problems or commit crimes. Why not give working visas that allow immigrants to come into the United States to work, pay income taxes, and cross safely back over the border each day to go home? You think they prefer to live amongst bigoted people like you, rather than people who speak their language, away from family?

I hope as you age and need care, a Mexican person is placed to do that. Maybe that will open your eyes that color does not matter, cultures may be different, languages spoken are different. We are all of the same makeup and same needs — some just more self-righteous, richer, and bigoted!

Kay Chandler, Bear Lake How Much is Enough?

After basking in the glow of his crowds’ rage and chants, the circus continues on like an endless parade. Our disgust becomes his and their entertainment. Not merely content to cage children, destroy our environment, and befriend dictators who murder journalists, he now encourages his supporters’ anger against duly elected American citizen-politicians. His more timid fans beg for an encore, while those bolder among them use his rhetoric to justify their actions.

Contrary to his slogans, this country is in trouble. Except for his massive tax break for the wealthy, none of his other campaign promises (that only “he, alone,” could solve) have seen the light of day.

An acting president, supported by acting cabinet heads, going through their feeble motions of caring while vastly enriching themselves at our children’s expense.

Through the ballot box, this narrative must change. The constant denigration of women, defamation of minorities, and the turning of one American against the other must never be our country’s final legacy. To quote the senior clergy of the National Cathedral: “When does silence become complicity? What will it take for us all to say, with one voice, that we have had enough? The question is less about the president’s sense of decency ... but of ours.”

John Hunter, Traverse City The Legacy Continues After the Civil War, Congress enacted the Freedmen Bureau to assist America’s 4 million new black citizens. What meant the most to landless ex-slaves was that the bureau acted to seize former plantation lands and divide them among the freed men in modest parcels of 40 acres. But this reform broke down under the weight of southern resentment, lack of commitment by the president, and, ultimately, diminishing support of the northern congressmen who had initiated the reform.

This marked the abandonment of the North in assisting blacks in separating from the powerful grip of plantation owners.

Only one in 10 freed men were literate, so the rest had to take the word of white bureau agents who read them post-war labor contracts, which allowed plantation owners to pay substandard wages.

In addition to maintaining cheap labor, the wealthy plantation owners had another concern: that blacks would not only vote

in high numbers but also unite with poor whites to significantly change the nature of southern politics. Whites in the South sought to protect their political dominance by depriving blacks of the right to vote by poll taxes, literacy tests, and grandfather clauses. The Republican Party is taking advantage of slavery’s legacy by fermenting racism against African Americans among southern white voters. This is done by suggesting that poor whites are working Crime and Rescue Map......................................7 hard but others are getting a free ride.

Russ Cage, Williamsburg Grapes Gone Wild Are OK Responding to Henry Ramsby’s Aug. 5 letter: I’m pretty sure those are just, like you say, wild grapevines. I’ve worked in vineyard maintenance for a while. The uncultivated wild varieties have broad leaves and are a separate species from the ones in the vineyards. They could be growing a lot this year because of a long, wet spring and the steady sun of late. But I doubt there’s a serious infestation from the varieties that vineyards use. Look up the leaf patterns and appearance of the fruit.

Pretty sure everything is going to be OK. If not, then get out there and harvest it!

Ben Anderson, Cedar Smarter Justice for Grand Traverse Michigan’s rates of incarceration have tripled in the last few decades, in spite of the fact that crime rates have continually decreased. Gov. Whitmer has just assigned a special Michigan Task Force on Jail and Pretrial Incarceration. And the ACLU has begun the Smart Justice Campaign to look into the lack of pre-trial and preincarceration diversion options.

Traverse City is one of four areas of the ACLU’s focus in the state because it has one of the highest rates of incarceration and recidivism. A large percentage of Grand Traverse county jail inmates have some sort mental illness factoring into their cases. The previous cuts in funding for mental illness treatments has left these patients locked in jail instead of being housed in a residential treatment center.

This has to stop! Too many families, especially those with a low income, are being permanently damaged by the present overzealous judicial practices.

Contact your local representatives and judicial officials to encourage them to help work toward a more preventative form of justice. And join the efforts of the Smart

top ten Pit Spitters Headed to Postseason

Playoff baseball is coming to northern Michigan.

The Traverse City Pit Spitters have the best record in the Northwoods League headed into a short postseason, which means they’ve clinched home field advantage throughout.

The postseason consists of a best-of-three playoff series followed by single-game second and final rounds.

The first playoff game will take place Monday, Aug. 12 against an opponent yet to be determined at Northern Express press time.

The second game in that series will be at Pit Spitters Park in Blair Township at 7:05pm Tuesday, Aug. 13. If that series is tied after two games, there will be a second Pit Spitters home game at 7:05pm Aug. 14.

If the Spitters win that series, they advance into the second round, which would take place at home at at 7:05pm, Thursday, Aug. 15.

Should they make the finals, that game would take place at home on either Friday or Saturday evening.

The Spitters’ inaugural season has exceeded expectations in terms of baseball success.

“We clinched [home field advantage] last night,” said Britani Eaton, promotions and community engagement manager. “We’ll have the best record in the Northwoods League for the season.”

Hey, watch it!

Big Little Lies

Modeled after best-selling novel written

by Liane Moriarty, this unforgettable drama series launched in 2017 and started with a bang. Or should we say … fall? With season one boasting a fat list of awards, accolades, and nominations, season two had a lot to live up to, and it did — in spades — by beefing up the already star-packed cast of Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, and Shailene Woodley with one of the greatest actresses of all time: Miss Meryl Streep. Season two has more secrets to hide, marriages to save, families to cure, and relationships to build. And while it’s proven more melodramatic than numero uno, season two doesn’t fall short of the anticipation benchmark. It’s like a meaningful hybrid between Real Housewives of Orange County, The Stepford Wives, and True Detective.

Whether you’re a true crime junkie, reality show addict, or cinematography expert, Big Little Lies will not disappoint. With a single scream, Meryl Streep makes the entire season more than memorable; when you know, you’ll know.

Bojack’s Kolacky

Bojack’s Bake Shop and Cafe in Mancelona — a quick stop right off US-131 — has been in business for 20 years, but it has the vintage-homey feel of a 1950s diner inside a knotty pine cabin. The cafe serves an excellent breakfast, but its freshly made pastries steal the show. There are many to choose from, but Bojack’s Kolacky, an airy Polish cookie, is a tasty treat worth trying. The pastry’s butter and cream cheese crust is dusted with powder sugar and hugs a just-right amount of raspberry filling. The combo is as it should be: equal parts lightly sweet and delicate and, finally, exactly as the grandma of owner David Bodziak intended it should be. “We just lost her last year,” Bodziak said. “She was 99 and a half. I would take stuff to her, and she would say, ‘Too damn sweet, David.’”

Listen to this: State Hospital Oral History

The enormous work of saving and reinvigorating the actual brick and mortar of the former state hospital grounds in Traverse City is well underway and has been a success.

Now the Minervini Group, along with Mission Point Press, have set out to preserve the ephemeral history of the Traverse City State Hospital through an oral history project.

“These are Traverse City State Hospital employees that we tracked down and agreed to be interviewed,” said Anne Stanton, Mission Point editorial director. “I just felt like if we don’t get them on tape now to tell their stories, we’re going to lose these stories forever.”

The project started after a January 2018 event at Kirkbride Hall where nearly 200 people gathered to hear a panel discuss the long-ago days of the historic hospital that once housed about 3,000 people. Listening to those stories made Stanton realize they needed to be preserved, and she was able to accomplish that through a collaboration with the Minervini Group, which has received royalties from two Traverse City State Hospital-related books re-published by Mission Point Press, A Man Against Insanity and How Thin the Veil, and agreed to use those funds to pay for the oral history project.

Stuff we love A Thinking Person’s Talk Show Ever wanted to pick the brain of the guy who co-founded MTV? Maybe you want to learn more about the importance of a plant-based diet. Would you be curious about the challenges and successes of the longest running mayor of one of the biggest cities in Texas? The Great Lakes Center for the Arts in Bay Harbor is making it possible at 8pm Aug. 15 with its 2019 Great Lakes Leadership Forum. The event will bring MTV co-founder Les Garland, former Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings, and Sweet Earth foods CEO Brian Swette to speak on their fields of expertise, share words of wisdom and inspiration, describe obstacles they had to overcome, and share entertaining anecdotes — all in a talk-show style moderated by Bill Cobb, chairman of Frontdoor, Inc., and retired CEO of H&R Block.

After each interview, the audience gets a chance to ask their burning questions and, after the “show,” enjoy a meet and greet reception with the speakers. All seats are $30 and can be purchased at www.greatlakescfa.org or by calling (231) 439-2610.

Jazz Show Reunites Legends When Bob James and David Sanborn released Double Vision in 1986, it was an immediate success. It spent 63 weeks on the Billboard chart and won a Grammy Award for Jazz/Fusion Performance. It also earned a Grammy nomination for Al Jarreau, who sang “Since I Fell For You.” Now more than three decades later, the duo has enlisted Marcus Miller as co-headliner for the Double Vision Revisited tour (Miller played bass on the album and wrote two of its tunes). Also on board are vocalist Larry Braggs (Tower of Power, the Temptations) sitting in for the late Jarreau, and Billy Kilson, from James’s recent trio effort, Espresso, on drums. The group is appearing at Corson Auditorium at Interlochen Center for the Arts at 7:30 Thursday, Aug. 15. While the show is technically sold out, you can still find tickets available through sites such as CheapTickets.com, StubHub, or even Craigslist.

Bottoms up Beards Brewery’s Luna Persica Legend has it that, in 1873, a newspaper reporter described then-little-known Petoskey as the “Land of the Million Dollar Sunsets.” The city has capitalized — and delivered — on the phrase ever since, but perhaps no one quite so well as Beards Brewery. Two years ago, the 2012-founded local brewery moved into a primo, double-decker, big windowed space that offers some of the best-ever views of Little Traverse Bay and Lake Michigan, plus 24 taps of equally inspirational craft beers. We sat on the spacious outdoor deck and paired a recent peachy sunset with — what better? — Beards’ Luna Persica, a Saison-style American wheat ale that practically bounces with real peach flavor (and a sprinkling of citrus), thanks to a bounty of white peaches added during fermentation. An easy 6.6% ABV and refreshing mouth feel made our 10oz. glass ($4.75) an ideal accompaniment to one of the tastiest salads in town: Beards’ Power Green Quinoa ($13 for a full; we added a scoop of house-smoked pulled pork, $3) with broccoli, carrot, red onion, Brussels sprouts, pepitas, dried cherries, spinach, kale, cabbage, and sunflower seeds, and dressed a vinaigrette made with Fustini’s Red Apple Vinegar.

40 EVERY DAY spectator

by Stephen Tuttle One headline said the nation was “shocked”; another, we were “stunned.” If true, why? Mass shootings have happened for so long and with such regularity we shouldn’t even be mildly surprised. Another week, another massacre.

THE SHED BEER GARDEN

It has happened at a grade school, middle school, high schools, community colleges, and universities. In churches, synagogues, and mosques. In warehouses, office buildings, and government buildings. In nightclubs, bars, and at sidewalk cafes. At malls and Walmart. At a garlic festival and a music festival.

People have been killed because of their religion, their nationality, some perceived workplace grievance, the color of their skin or, mostly, for no reason at all.

There is no venue or location immune; mass fatality shootings have occurred in 22 states since January 1, 2017. They’ve happened first thing in the morning and late at night.

And despite all of the above, mass killings account for only about two percent of all gun homicides. On average, nearly 40 people are shot dead in the United States every day, and it doesn’t seem to much bother us.

It takes a massive single incident body count to get our attention. Our innocence, such as it is, was lost long ago.

Politicians will thrust and parry, bills will be enacted by the Democratic House, only to be stopped in the Republican Senate and vice versa. Both sides will endlessly pontificate and posture while doing not much of anything. This, too, should be familiar to us. We already know it ends with nothing.

President Trump sees violent video games as causative, made the erroneous connection between mental illness and gun violence, touted “red flag” laws, suggested quick trials and execution for mass killers, and bemoaned the toxic environment on social media and internet chat rooms.

6 • august 12, 2019 • Northern Express Weekly

Red flag laws, now in effect in 15 states and being considered in another 20, allow a judge to issue an order that temporarily removes guns from a person deemed to be an imminent danger to themselves or others by virtue of what they have said or done.

Not everybody is happy with such laws — sheriffs representing more than half the counties in Colorado said flatly they wouldn’t enforce them — and there are due process issues not yet fully resolved.

So far, it seems the laws have mostly served to prevent some potential suicides rather than murders.

We focus on the mass killings because we all feel vulnerable to the randomness and butchery of them. But the frightening reality is we are far more likely to be shot and killed by a relative or someone else known to us. And we don’t much talk about that gun violence at all.

We’re very good at the post-massacre rituals, less so for the daily killings. We’ve no real solution to either.

any incidence of reported domestic violence, prosecuted or not.)

There is scant evidence violent video games, onerous as many are, lead to a game-player committing an act of real violence. Those games are also played in countries with almost no gun violence.

According to the National Institutes for Health (NIH), people with definable mental illness commit less than three percent of gun violence against others. They are way more likely to be victims, especially of suicide. (A far better predictor of future gun violence is

We already know the death penalty deters no one, and it surely will not give the author of a massacre any pause for concern.

The president does have a valid point when he references social media and online chat rooms. Some are now little more than cesspools of wild conspiracy theories and unbridled hatred. They not only give voice to the most heinous bigotry but also actively and openly encourage it.

There is no easy way to stop it. Unless the hate includes specific threats against specific individuals or groups, it is likely protected speech. And it’s not completely clear how we differentiate between hateful venting and a dangerous threat.

The public has long been in favor of some common sense solutions. Expanded background checks required for any gun purchase, a position the president has twice supported and then twice opposed, makes some sense. Outlawing high capacity magazines makes more. Outlawing so-called assault rifles is a little trickier; they would have to outlaw any semi-automatic long gun because manufacturers can make those military-style weapons look like a regular rifle. And, by far, most gun deaths are caused by handguns, not long guns.

We focus on the mass killings because we all feel vulnerable to the randomness and butchery of them. But the frightening reality is we are far more likely to be shot and killed by a relative or someone else known to us. And we don’t much talk about that gun violence at all.

We fly the flags at half-mast for the latest group of mass-shooting victims, but not for the 40 individuals across the nation shot down tomorrow and the next day and the next. We don’t televise those memorial services or put those victim profiles on the evening news. Perhaps we should.

Crime & Rescue SQUIRREL CAUSES CAR CRASH An 82-year-old woman who swerved her car to avoid a squirrel crashed into a parked car and caused her vehicle to roll over on a quiet Traverse City street.

The woman was not seriously injured in the crash, which happened 7pm Aug. 4 on Washington Street near the Grand Traverse County courthouse.

A bystander heard the crash and helped the woman get out of her upside-down 2009 Ford Fusion. She refused to go to the hospital but was checked out by responders, said Traverse City Police Chief Jeff O’Brien. She was issued a ticket for driving without due care and caution.

CONSTRUCTION WORKER STRUCK State police are trying to determine whether a driver who struck a construction worker in Grand Traverse County was districted by his phone.

Troopers responded to a car-pedestrian crash on M-113 near Kingsley at 7:50pm Aug. 6 where a 21-year-old construction worker from Imlay City had suffered a broken leg.

The worker was in the process of removing construction signs and standing alongside a work vehicle with flashing lights when a passing car veered onto the shoulder and struck him and his work vehicle.

Investigators will attempt to determine whether the driver, a 34-year-old Traverse City man, was using his phone at the time of the crash and then submit a report to prosecutors.

MAN ARRESTED FOR MOTEL ATTACK A fight broke out as police arrested a Houghton Lake man after he burst into someone’s motel room with a knife.

State police responded to a “home invasion in progress” call at the Way North Motel in Houghton Lake at 6pm Aug. 5. A guest at the motel said that another resident had kicked down the door to his room and attacked him with a knife.

After interviewing the victim and witnesses, police arrested a 48-year-old man, who resisted by headbutting a trooper. That caused an injury to the officer, and a struggle followed. A patrol car was damaged, the suspect’s nose was injured, and, inside the vehicle, the suspect spat on troopers and tried to kick out a window, according to a press release.

The suspect faces charges of first-degree home invasion, assault with a dangerous weapon, malicious destruction of police property, and assault of a police officer.

CIGARETTE THEIVES SOUGHT Police are searching for two masked suspects who smashed the front door of a smoke shop and made off with armloads of cigarettes.

Manistee County Sheriff’s deputies are investigating the break-in, which happened at 3:30am Aug. 2 at the Admiral Tobacco Store in Filer Township.

The pair stole a large number of cigarettes — primarily Newport 100s and Marlboro Reds.

One suspect wore jeans, a black hoodie with

a white/reflective emblem on the back of the neck area, an orange facemask, dark shoes, and dark gloves, and was carrying a black bag. The second suspect wore black pants, a black hoodie, a black mask, black-and-white shoes, and a black glove on the right hand, and a pink glove on the left.

Anyone with information should call Det./Sgt. Scott Soper at (231) 723-8393.

TWO NABBED AFTER UNREPORTED CRASH An ambulance crew who were headed back to their station after a run noticed debris from a recent crash and investigated, leading to the arrest of two suspected drunk drivers.

The Leland Fire and Rescue personnel called Leelanau County Sheriff’s deputies to the location on South French Road, near Kirt Road, in Leland Township after they spotted a Ford pickup in a driveway that had been in a recent crash.

Deputies arrived at 7pm Aug. 2 and determined that a 33-year-old Lake Leelanau man had been driving a flatbed truck followed by an acquaintance, a 36-year-old Interlochen man, who was driving a Ford pickup.

When the flatbed stopped to turn into a private driveway, it was rear-ended by the pickup. The men pulled the pickup into the driveway and didn’t call police. Deputies determined that the men had been coming home from a party, and both had been drinking. They were arrested for drunk driving.

HIT-AND-RUN DRIVER SOUGHT Police are looking for a dark-colored Ford Fusion that’s missing a rearview mirror after a person on a bicycle was struck in Grand Traverse County.

Sheriff’s deputies were called after a man on a motorized bicycle was hit on Supply Road a half-mile north of Williamsburg Road sometime between 6am and 6:30am Aug. 5. The man suffered minor injuries.

Investigators would like to talk to a woman who stopped to give the man a ride after the crash; they are also looking for the Ford Fusion that, in addition to the broken rearview mirror, may have other front-end damage. Anyone with information should call central dispatch at (231) 922-4550.

DRUNK PONTOON BOATER ARRESTED Leelanau County Sheriff’s deputies arrested a man believed to have driven a pontoon boat into a private dock and then passed out next to a bottle of vodka.

Deputies and Leland Fire and Rescue responded to East Tamarack Lane in Leland Township after a resident called 911 to report that a 2005 Bennington pontoon boat had crashed into their dock and the boat operator was passed out on a bench in the boat near a bottle of Skyy Vodka.

Deputies woke the 36-year-old Leland man and discovered he was dangerously intoxicated.

He was taken to Munson Medical Center and later to jail. The incident happened on Lake Leelanau just past 5pm Aug. 6.

POLICE: TWO SWIPED DONATION JAR Police believe they have identified two young people who swiped a donation jar from a party store counter.

A 25-year-old man and a 21-year-old woman paid for some pop at Tilley’s Party Store and Disc Golf on Randolph Street at 9:17pm Aug. 3, and then grabbed a donation jar and ran off, said Traverse City Police Chief Jeff O’Brien. O’Brien didn’t know how much money was in the jar.

The donation jar was there to raise funds for Hickory Hills, a ski area and park that is owned by the city but has been improved in recent years through a private fundraising campaign.

Keli MacIntosh, Traverse City America, We Have a Problem There have been more mass shootings than days in 2019. Sunday, Aug. 4, was day 216, and on that day, there had been 256 mass shootings. There is some argument about how many slaughtered constitute a mass shooting. Some say three, some say four. I would like to remind you that each person slaughtered had a heartbeat, as do the families and friends who mourn them.

Each slaughtered person had a right to life and to the freedom of attending a festival, concert, and school, to worshiping with their community, to go shopping in a mall, or to go to work.

America, we have a problem! It is not only the easy access to high-power weaponry, violent video games, white supremacy groups, various religious supremacy groups that advocate violence, or lack of comprehensive mental health care.

It is all of the above and more. It is that we have created a culture that values violence in speech and action before respectful discussion.

In the America I grew up in, politicians and citizens could come together and solve problems, particularly in matters of public safety. Obviously now, we cannot; we are impotent. Unable to act, unable to research and study, unable to protect our freedom.

Every one of us bears responsibility.

Within each of us is part of the solution.

Rev. Mary Robling, Frankfort

IS SOCIALISM COMPROMISING AMERICAN ECONOMICS? opinion

bY David Frederick A good first step in developing an answer to this question is to define socialism. Surprisingly, that is more difficult than would be expected.

A quick internet search will display a dozen or more definitions. The problem is, they conflict with each other. Wikipedia deals with this by concluding that the word socialism gets bantered around so much that it has, for all practical purposes, lost meaning.

The issue is further muddied by confusion pertaining to whether or not the terms “socialism” and “capitalism” have political connotations. Many people believe that they do. If that were the case, each would likely be associated with distinct methods of governance, but they are not. Both terms are more accurately considered as systems of economic organization.

Following is a brief description of three projects sponsored by the United States government.

Over the years, each has, on occasion, been described as an example of how capitalism is compromised when socialistic projects are undertaken.

The first example takes us back to the Great Depression. In 1929 the economy of the United States experienced a catastrophic collapse. At the time, a widely held conservative belief existed that such economic variations — even extreme ones — are inevitable, naturally occurring self-correcting processes that are best left free to run their course.

Three years later, with no self-correcting process in sight, the government initiated efforts to stimulate the economy by implementing public works projects. The Hoover Dam, a massive concrete arch-gravity hydroelectric dam, was the largest and most complicated of those.

The project was completed in five years — two years ahead of schedule — and under budget.

It is today owned and operated by the United States Bureau of Reclamation. In its 83 years of operation, it has generated more than 382 billion kilowatt hours of carbon-footprintfree electricity.

The second example also involved an infrastructure project. In 1956, Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed into law the Federal Aid Highway Act. By 1961 this project had constructed an interstate highway system in excess of 40,000 miles.

All the objectives of the project were met.

National defense requirements were then and are today continuing to be fulfilled.

Vast numbers of long-term employment opportunities continue to be created, and corporate American has been provided with an efficient, as well as cost-saving, transportation system.

In 1948 Dr. Jonas Salk, at the University of Pittsburg, was awarded a governmental grant to develop an effective polio vaccine. Five years later, in 1953, the Poliomyelitis Vaccine Evaluation Center at the University of Michigan conducted a trial and analyzed the results of an experimental Salk polio vaccine. The successful result of that test was announced in 1954. By 1961, the 50,000 per year incidences of new polio cases had dropped by 96 percent.

These projects were good investments for the country. Lacking a generally accepted definition of socialism, determining whether or not they were socialistic is an issue that remains unanswered. The definition might not be of importance. What does matter, and is not open to question, is the certainty that each of these public-sector-based projects greatly benefited the nation and its economy.

The branding of programs with pejorative names works against developing fact-based outcomes.

It does this by evoking partisan-based tribalism rather than fact-based processes. “Socialism” is a term frequently used as negative labeling of public sector projects.

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is a good example of how labeling can work. The ACA bill was quickly labeled as socialism and nicknamed “Obamacare” by the opposition party. That makes a certain sort of sense; socialism is cast as un-American, and President Obama’s credibility had been damaged by a slow recovery from a deep recession. The bill did eventually become law, but the labeling was brutally effective.

It is also interesting to consider that, although seldom if ever labeled as socialistic entitlements, the wealthiest segments of the population have access to very substantial taxbased publically-funded economic benefits.

Gifting the rich with unearned entitlements — at the public’s expense — could also be interpreted as socialism.

Let’s give a look at a recent example of gifting the rich. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Reform and Jobs Act was enacted. The law was purposefully written with massive tax cuts targeted for corporations and the wealthiest 10 percent of the population. These tax cuts will increase the national debt in excess of 1 trillion dollars. That’s a real problem and one big gift. Aren’t those the very things socialism is accused of?

Politicians are gearing up to make socialism a pivotal issue in the upcoming 2020 election.

Don’t drink that Kool-Aid. It is nothing more than an attempt to misdirect voters and thereby the electoral process.

The Eisenhower interstate expressway project has proven — without the slightest exaggeration — to be a culturally and economically transforming transportation system.

Problems exist that are far more serious than the contrived issue of socialism. First among those is the ethical, moral, and political corruption being played out on a daily basis by those holding elected or politically appointed federal office. Correcting that issue should be our highest priority.

The third example pertains to poliomyelitis.

In the first half of the 20th century, polio — a highly contagious and disabling disease — was running rampant. In excess of a million Americans had been afflicted by the early 1950s. No prevention, cure or even effective treatment existed to combat this epidemic.

David Frederick, a centrist-based Independent, regards extremist political partisanship as a dangerous threat to the well-being and security of middle-class Americans. He further believes reestablishing coordinated grassroots truth-topower messaging is a prerequisite for diminishing that threat. dcf13343@gmail.com Letters continues on pg. 9

Least Competent Criminals If you’re trying to smuggle a half-kilo of cocaine through airport security, you might want to try harder than an unnamed middleaged man from Colombia, who was detained in late June at Barcelona-El Prat airport in Spain, according to Spanish police. The man arrived at the airport on a flight from Bogota and seemed nervous -- and no wonder, what with a comically “oversized toupee” under his hat, Reuters reported. Spanish police searched him and found a bundle of cocaine, worth about $34,000, taped to his head.

Precocious Four Australian kids took running away from home to a new level on July 13 when they wrote a goodbye note and absconded with cash, fishing gear and an SUV belonging to one of their parents. The three boys and one girl, aged 10 to 14, left Rockhampton in Queensland and headed south to Grafton, a trip of more than 600 miles. Along the way, they twice bought gas without paying and survived a short police chase in New South Wales, which was terminated by the highway patrol “due to age of the driver and road conditions,” Acting Police Inspector Darren Williams told Fox News. Around 10:30 p.m. on July 14, police finally caught up with the kids, who locked the doors and refused to exit the car. An officer broke a window with a baton to gain entry. The young thieves will be charged, but they couldn’t be questioned until their parents showed up.

The Not-So-Friendly Skies -- A Delta Airlines flight from Puerto Rico to New York was forced to return to San Juan on July 3 after Carlos Ramirez, 30, “became unruly,” Reuters reported. “I am God!” Ramirez shouted, according to Puerto Rican police. “San Juan is going to disappear tomorrow. I came to save the world, and I am going to end terrorism.” Flight attendants and passengers restrained the man until the plane could land, then Puerto Rico police took him into custody. The cockpit remained secure during the fracas.

-- In southwest London, as an unidentified man sunbathed in his backyard on June 30, he was startled by the body of another man that apparently fell from an airplane, landing just three feet away in his garden. Police believe the body was that of a stowaway on a Kenya Airways flight, who fell out as the plane lowered its wheels on the approach to Heathrow Airport, some 10 miles away. The resident “didn’t even realize what it was to begin with. He was asleep and then there was a huge impact,” a neighbor told Reuters. A Kenya Airways spokesperson said the 4,250mile flight from Nairobi takes about nine hours, and upon arrival at Heathrow, workers found a bag, water and food in the plane’s landing gear compartment. The stowaway has not been identified.

Crime Report -- Police in Seguin, Texas, arrested Delissa Navonne Crayton, 47, on July 10 in her home after finding her mother’s skeletal remains lying on the floor in one of the home’s bedrooms, CNN reported. Investigators believe that Jacqueline Louise Crayton died in 2016 a few days after falling in her room and hitting her head. She would have been about 71 years old at the time of the fall, and officials charge her daughter did not “provide adequate assistance,” resulting in the woman’s death.

The younger Crayton and her daughter, who

at the time was under 15 years old, lived in other rooms of the house for about three years while the mother’s body deteriorated. Crayton was charged with “injury to a child under 15 through recklessly, by omission, causing a serious mental deficiency, impairment or injury.” Seguin police and Texas Rangers expect other charges to be filed.

-- When Flagler County (Florida) Sheriff ’s officers pulled over Derick McKay, 36, for speeding on July 11, they noticed he seemed ... uncomfortable, and although the deputies smelled marijuana, he denied having anything illegal. But when McKay got to the police station (having been arrested for driving on a suspended license), he admitted that he did have some narcotics hidden between his buttocks. Indeed, Fox 43 reported, McKay produced more than a dozen small baggies, including: a baggie of crack, eight baggies of heroin, two baggies of Molly, a baggie of marijuana, 12 Lortab pills and 12 Oxycodone pills.

Creepy Creepers Creeping People Out Women -- and men -- in Claverham, Somerset, England, are watching their backs as they walk at night, thanks to a man wearing a rubbery “gimp suit” who has been approaching and chasing people, according to the BBC. On July 11, an unnamed woman in her 20s was “walking along with my torch and looked up to see someone charging at me in a full black rubbery suit,” she told the news service. “He kept coming toward me and was touching his groin, grunting and breathing heavy.” She pushed and screamed at the man, who turned and ran in the other direction.

Avon and Somerset police have increased patrols in the area in order to identify the man responsible.

Techno-Weird The New York Post reported on July 14 that more than 4,000 Swedes have willingly had microchips implanted in their hands to replace credit cards and cash. The chips also help people monitor their health and can be programmed to allow access into buildings. Jowan Osterlund, a former body piercer who pioneered the chips, says the technology is safe. But British scientist Ben Libberton, based in Sweden, said he worries that people aren’t considering the potential dangers, including the unwitting dissemination of data about a person. “Do I get a letter from my insurance company saying premiums are going up before I know I’m ill?” he wondered.

Bright Idea Rapper, sports agent and self-proclaimed “Mr. Alabama” Kelvin James Dark, 37, of Talladega, Alabama, was arrested in Atlanta, Georgia, on July 10 after allegedly throwing multiple kilograms of suspected methamphetamine off a high-rise balcony onto a street below. In a press release titled “It’s Raining Meth,” the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said its agents were searching the property as part of a smuggling investigation when the drugs went overboard. Agents were able to recover the drugs, valued at an estimated $250,000, and also found two semi-automatic rifles, a handgun, marijuana valued at $60,000 and a “substantial” amount of cash, AL.com reported. Dark and 33-year-old Tiffany Peterson of Atlanta were arrested for trafficking meth and marijuana, among other charges.

Seek & Eat Head out on an easy amble to find the wild foods of August

By Clay Bowers This summer, while you’re out hiking around the forests and fields of northwest Lower Michigan, remember that many of the places that you go are hiding wild food available to any aspiring forager. Here’s a list of six delicous forageables that can be found in our region this August.

PURSLANE Portulaca oleracea Purslane might be a common and much-maligned common garden weed, yet it’s one of the most healthful of all of the things that you grow (intentionally or unintentionally) in your garden. This native species boasts relatively high levels of vitamins E and C, and it contains the highest levels of Omega 3s found in any plant measured.

This plant is so healthful, in fact, that nearly every culture that had it in their midst ate it regularly.

My friend Rachel Mifsud, a fellow forager from downstate, refers to picking garden weeds as “farmaging.”

This summer, you can add ample amounts of purslane to your salads and become healthier while also helping your farmer friends rid it from their gardens! Simply cut the stems back to the main crown and chop them up for a wonderful tangy addition to your salads. For additional harvests, leave the crown, and the whole plant will resprout again.

CHOKECHERRY Prunus Virginiana Chokecherry is yet another plant that many will consider to be a noxious weed, but this native species is chock full of anthocyanins (the healthy antioxidants found in wild blueberries), vitamin C, manganese, calcium, magnesium, and many more healthful nutrients. The word “choke” in the name is inspired by the astringent nature of these berries; they can cause your mouth tissues to dry rapidly. To prevent the pucker effect without compromising the nutrition of these berries, simply press out the juice or make a delicious jam. The pits, much like their domesticated cousins, are to be avoided, so my preferred method of preparation is to use a food mill to separate the pits from the edible portions of the berries, then mix the pulp with sugar (preferably maple) and make an absolutely wonderful jam.

LIONS MANE Hericium spp.

Lions Mane mushrooms are a vital part of northern Michigan mushroom foraging. There are three native species endemic to our beech-maple forests: Hericium corraloides, Hericium erinaceus, and Hericium americanum.

Of all of the mushrooms out in the woods, these species are some of the easiest to safely identify. If you’re wandering in the forest, and you find what appears to be a cheerleader’s pom-pom stuck against a beech or a maple tree, chances are excellent that you have found this genus of mushroom.

These mushrooms generally can be found beginning in the latter half of August, but more commonly they are found in the cooler months of autumn. Lions Mane mushrooms are so full of vital nutrition and wonderful mycochemistry that there are many studies attesting to their benefits to your health. Like any edible mushroom, Lions Mane should be cooked; they’re indigestible otherwise. My preference: Choose a healthy fat and sauté until they’ve reached your preferred texture.

nearly all year-round, with a special emphasis on the ethics regarding sustainable harvesting. If you’re interested in learning more about foraging, you can find Bowers’ upcoming class schedule, events — like a wild food dinner on Sept. 8 at Waterfire Vineyards in Kewadin — foraging products, and book recommendations at www. nomiforager.com.

BEAKED HAZELNUTS Corylus cornuta Northwest Lower Michigan is not in the native range of American Hazelnuts (Corylus americana), but we are in the native range of their beaked cousins — an absolutely wonderful addition to any forager’s plate. While most of the world thinks of nuts in terms of autumn harvesting, these nuts ripen and are picked clean before the end of August has a chance to come around.

Where to find them? Beaked hazelnuts are an incredibly common shrub all over northern Lower Michigan and all over the Upper Peninsula. They tend to make forest edges their homes, and if you happen to find a good patch, I urge you to bring gloves —the involucres (a fancy forager way of saying “their outer covering”) are covered in irritating hairs.

One warning: Do not wait to harvest these nuts until they have fallen from the shrub, or you won’t not get any! All the native wildlife enjoys and seeks out these highly nutritious native sources of lipids. My family and I toast these nuts in a pan with a little butter and sea salt and enjoy them hot.

MILKWEED PODS Asclepias syriaca Milkweed pods are a vegetable that I never miss eating in the summer months. These delicious plants are both house and food to Monarch Butterflies, so pay close attention to these plants before harvesting to make sure that you only harvest from monarch-free homes. And it should go without saying that you should only take a portion of the available pods so as to allow some seeds to spread for next year.

Milkweed pods have a slightly green bean-esque flavor, but even better. Only harvest firm pods, and once you get home, throw them into a pot of boiling water for 10 minutes, then toss out the water (this process assures that these pods are safe to eat). Native Americans in every part of this milkweed’s range ate and enjoyed this wonderful vegetable. Eating this plant will give you the inexplicable urge to plant and spread Common Milkweed.

HUCKLEBERRY Gaylussacia baccata An extremely common woodland understory plant in the entirety of northern Michigan, huckleberry plants often grow alongside lowbush blueberries, which are sometimes mistakenly referred to as huckleberries. Huckleberries grow knee-high to thigh-high shrubs hosting blueberry-like berries that contain noticeably crunchy seeds. The bushes never seem to have as many berries as their neighbors, so collecting an ample amount can be quite the effort. The flavor of these berries and the crunch of their seeds drive foragers like myself crazy with the urge to pick them. The habitat that you will generally find these plants in are pine-oak barrens.

These berries also contain ample amounts of vitamins and minerals and are generally devoured raw by our family before we have the chance to turn them into anything! If we do have extra, we typically add them to our sweetened wild rice for breakfast, or you could add them to oatmeal.

SAFETY FIRST Wild foods are a healthy addition to your diet, and they get you interacting with nature as well. Always make sure that you have permission before foraging, and please make sure that you are certain of the identity of the plant before ingesting (see www.nomiforager.com for some book recommendations). After safety, foraging sustainably should be your No. 1 priority. Never take too many of any plant, so you can it continues to thrive and provide food in the future.

Cowboy burger

Joey Reutter

Three of 20 beers on tap

BROOMSTACK KITCHEN & TAPHOUSE Burgers, brews, bacon and brooms — curling brooms, that is — turned out to be the stuff of restaurant dreams come true for Joey Reutter of the Broomstack Kitchen & Taphouse in Maple City. Reutter co-owns Broomstack with his wife, Jen, and their friends — and now business partners — David and Theresa Gersenson. Located in the village’s historic schoolhouse, this “eatery with a twist” opened to a welcoming audience this past February.

By Janice Binkert Joey Reutter took the long and winding road to becoming a restaurateur. It began in his hometown of Lancaster, California, in the Mojave Desert. “I’m a desert rat,” he said, with a wide smile. The road from there eventually led him west over to University of California Santa Barbara, where he earned a BA in cultural anthropology. Then it led him south, down the coast to San Diego, where he met his future wife, Jen. And with her, the road eventually led him east and finally north to Michigan. Jen is a Detroit native who spent her summers in Leland, and when she and Joey got serious, she brought him back to her home state and up to her beloved Leelanau Peninsula for a visit — not just once, but several times. “I fell in love with the area,” he said, “and I somehow knew, ‘This is where we’re going to end up.’”

MICHIGAN BOUND “I’ve wanted to do a restaurant my whole life,” said Reutter. “My next-door neighbor’s family in Lancaster had a Mexican restaurant called Nico’s that had very good food, and the

idea of someday having my own was exciting to me. All of my first jobs were working in food service, and I had the most fun with that, so it just kind of reinforced my intentions. I talked to a lot of people about it, and they all said, ‘Don’t do it — it’s too much work, and the failure rate is through the roof,’ but the idea never really left me. I had no aspirations to be a chef, though. I like to be at the front of the house, to experience the action and the reactions from people when you put a plate with really nice food in front of them and see them enjoy their meal — that’s what really makes me happy.”

When Joey and Jen finally did decide to make the move to northern Michigan and open a restaurant, they did it with careful planning and foresight. “We agreed that, while we had stability in California, we would start our family, and if we could get here before the kids were in school, then we would be in good shape and on schedule,” said Reutter.

“In early 2017, we sold our business in San Diego [an aquarium design, installation, and maintenance company that they had run for 13 years], sold our house, sold our cars, and

Michigan’s Largest Zipline Canopy Tour 14 • august 12, 2019 • Northern Express Weekly

put all of our chips in Leelanau, saying, ‘Let’s go for it.’”

First settling in Cedar (they now live in Maple City), the couple spent their first few months getting the lay of the land and enjoying the summer with their two sons.

In the fall, they started looking for jobs and ended up as innkeepers at the Sylvan Inn in Glen Arbor. During their time there, they got to know owners David and Theresa Gersenson, who eventually became their partners in the Broomstack venture.

BACK TO SCHOOL “When we met David, he was just about to leave to go to a curling camp,” said Reutter.

“I told him I was looking for a winter activity, and he asked me if I wanted to go with him.

I did, and it really appealed to me. I grew up bowling, so that skill set transferred over well.

Today, I’m part of the Traverse City Curling Club. David and I became not just curling buddies but friends, and we started talking about different business ideas. At one point he asked me, ‘What is it that you and Jen want to do?’ And I said, ‘We came here to open up a

restaurant.’ And he said, ‘Well, do you know about the place in Maple City?’”

That “place” was the nearly century-old former village schoolhouse, which had housed several incarnations of restaurants and bars since was closed in the early 1960s. “We went and looked at it, and we saw that it had really good bones,” said Reutter. “And though the kitchen was small, we realized that there was a lot of potential here. We also knew that we would have to make it an attraction if we wanted to make a go of it. And I said, ‘I would add a curling facility,’ and David said, ‘Yeah, I would, too.’ To do that, though, we would have to create a whole new structure. And that’s really where David’s passion comes in. He’s a very passionate guy — to quote him, he had found what he wanted to do for the rest of his life, and that was curling on dedicated ice [see sidebar]. And he said, ‘You know, let’s go in on the restaurant. We’ll be partners on the property, and I’ll build the curling facility.’ So that’s what we did.”

They had a clear vision of their project, too: “We all wanted the restaurant be a family friendly, community-centered place — to

cultivate an environment where people would be comfortable coming in with kids, and where anyone from near or far would feel welcome,” said Reutter. “We would have 20 different beers, including a significant number of Michigan craft brews, and serve grass-fed burgers and pizza. And the adjoining curling facility would be our attraction and bring in more people.”

A tall order indeed, but as planned, Broomstack (from “Broomstacking,” curling slang for socializing with teammates and opponents, often over a drink, after a game) opened on February 1, 2019. “We hit the ground running,” said Reutter. “We didn’t announce publicly what the actual date was going to be. We just asked our friends if they wanted to be the first customers, and they all showed up. And then 15 snowmobilers came in, and then 10 more snowmobilers after that — we’re at the northernmost point of one of the county’s snowmobile trails. After that first wave, people continued to come in, and I said to myself, ‘I think we’ve got something here.’”

(BROOM)STACKED Reutter started the restaurant with a very condensed menu, and has been adding to it since, although he still wants to keep it streamlined. “We’ve run specials, and from the feedback we’ve received, some of those specials have landed on the menu,” he said. The newest additions: buffalo and Asian chicken wings, chicken and beef tacos, and a cherry chicken salad sandwich.

The burgers and pizzas are the most popular things on Broomstack’s menu. Among the former, made with one-third pound of grass-fed beef from Hampel Farms in Buckley, standouts include the Spartan burger (roasted and marinated poblano peppers topped with Leelanau Cheese’s fromage blanc) and the Cowboy burger (bacon, house BBQ sauce, and cheddar, topped with an onion ring). All burgers are stacked — and we do mean stacked — with lettuce, a thick slice each of tomato and sweet onion, pickles, ketchup, mustard, and mayo on a house-made brioche bun.

The pizza here is Sicilian-style — made with a high-hydration dough that is aged for three days and stretched by hand before being pressed into a square pan for proofing. It’s then baked off in one of the kitchen’s special deck ovens, forming a thick crust, which is topped with brick cheese, house-made red sauce and other ingredients, then baked a second time. Reutter says the Animal pizza (bacon, pepperoni, soppressata and Italian

sausage) and the Joey’s Fav (pepperoni, bacon and jalapeño) are top customer picks.

IN THE KITCHEN “I guess I chose this kind of food because I really like burgers and pizza, and I know how to cook them,” said Reutter. “And bacon — you’ve gotta have bacon.” Cue the intriguing Peanut Butter & Bacon burger and the menu’s only dessert, the Bacon Blondie (a peanut buttercaramel-bacon bar, served warm and topped with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce).

“They are both crazy good,” said Reutter, “and once people try them, they love them. What we serve is simple American fare, all made from scratch, with as many local ingredients as we can source. We use fresh meats and vegetables, hand-cut our potatoes for fries, and make our own pizza dough, sauces, and dressings. It takes a little longer, and it costs a bit more, but you get a better product.”

Heading up the kitchen at Broomstack are Tim Griffith and Pat Robertson. “We are so lucky to have found Tim,” said Reutter. “He was a tremendous help in getting this thing off the ground, putting in just as much time as I did.

I definitely had an idea of what I wanted, but I needed help in executing it. Pat is an old friend of of mine from San Diego who has been a cook his whole life and was living in Marquette. So I called him and said, ‘Hey, I’m in Michigan! I just opened a restaurant, and we could use some help in the kitchen — do you want to come down?’ He came right away, and he has been a great asset, taking us to another level.”

When they bought the property, after honing the concept and menu for the restaurant, the new owners focused their attention on cleaning and refurbishing the interior of the building, including brightening the space by opening the large bank of boarded windows at the back and improving lighting. Original floor boards were also exposed and refinished. Homage is paid to the old schoolhouse in the form of vintage photos, desks, books, globes and small framed chalkboards lining the walls. “We wanted to do the schoolhouse vibe,” said Reutter, “because this building has a lot of history, and most of the of local residents have a connection to it in one form or another.”

THE SHEET AND THE STONE

Curling may be the next big thing, sportswise, in our neck of the woods. Broomstack Kitchen & Taproom already has formed The Leelanau Curling Club, where curling classes, leagues, and events for groups ranging from kids to seniors are offered year-round. As a dedicated facility, the sheet (surface of the ice) at the club is used only by curlers — not shared with skaters or hockey players, as at a regular ice arena — to ensure a consistent playing surface for the curling stone (or rock) when it is thrown by a player from one end of the sheet and guided by a second player with a broom (or brush) on its way to the house (the target where points are scored) at the other end.

Scott Nelles has been fascinated with metal casting and clay sculpting since he was a young boy. He works with bronze and aluminum using one of the most time-tested processes in existence: sand casting.

“I have created work in many different media, but I have always been led back to the same conclusion— there is nothing so durable, so inherently endowed with quality and longevity, as metal.”

What We’re Drinking This Summer (Hint: It’s like Zima, but in a can.)

By Ross Boissoneau What kind of alcoholic beverage is most popular in northern Michigan? Does it differ from Manistee to Harbor Springs, Leelanau County to Otsego?

Two quick answers: White Claw, and not much.

In an admittedly non-scientific study, we called two dozen party stores and beverage shops across the region to find out which adult beverages were popular sellers for them this summer. Most were happy to play.

Let’s start down south. At Manistee Beverage Company, James Beaudrie said that without taking a deep dive into the numbers, it could be difficult to determine the top sellers with the hundreds of cases the store sells. “Having said that, I would lean towards the ‘spiked’ seltzer waters, with White Claw and Truly leading the way,” he said.

So, one vote for White Claw. Anyone else? Raising your hand back there, Andy’s Party Store in Charlevoix? Yep, another mention of White Claw, which is “flying off the shelves.”

You there, Hansen’s, in Suttons Bay. Another vote for White Claw, with the explanation that consumers are looking for an intoxicating beverage while keeping their waistline in mind, something around 100 calories or fewer, and low in sugar. Ryan Vos at The Beverage Company in Traverse City concurred, saying people are looking for something with low carbs and less sugar that’s easy to take to the beach or on the boat.

“It’s good for people into fitness,” he said.

Also onboard the White Claw party train. Toski Sands (“It’s gigantic, the killer of the summer.”) and Scooby’s Bottle Shop in Petoskey, Up North Party Store in Boyne City, West Side Beverage in Traverse City, Points North Party Store in Harbor Springs, and Havens Interlochen Party Store. “White Claw is just on fire,” said Perry Havens.

SECOND PLACE Not that White Claw is what everyone is drinking. Two other beverages got multiple mentions, putting them in the top three. Points North actually first cited vodka, specifically Tito’s and Popov, before mentioning White Claw. Cellar 152 in Elk Rapids also cited Tito’s Vodka. At Toski Sands, Tito’s was No. 2, after hometown favorite Gypsy Vodka.

Up North in Boyne City sells a ton of Tito’s, followed by Absolut. Customers at Anderson’s IGA in Glen Arbor opt for Tito’s or Smirnoff. Scooby’s mentioned vodka, but of no particular brand. Fieldstone in Traverse City said Absolut; Havens said Smirnoff. Elk Rapids General Store said either Tito’s or … the next entry on our list.

That’s right, also hot: Fireball cinnamon whiskey. Besides Elk Rapids General Store, reported sightings of many, many Fireballbuying customers came courtesy of Bellaire EZ Mart, Benzonia Wesco, and Dockside in Traverse City, which was the only one to name an old-school classic, Jack Daniels.

So there you have it. White Claw, Vodka (Tito’s in particular), and Fireball are hot as the days this summer.

ISN’T ANYONE DRINKING BEER ANYMORE? Funny you should ask. At Lake Ann Grocery, it’s actually all about the craft beers.

The wee market’s second biggest sellers: Bell’s Two Hearted American Ale, Founders Brewing Co.’s All Day IPA,and Centennial, and Short’s Brewing Company’s Bellaire Brown and — perennial summer favorite — Soft Parade. No. 1, however, is Bell’s Oberon.

Rosa Blanca in Cadillac sells more Michigan craft beers than anything other than one item we’ll get to momentarily. Eric Arnold at Anderson’s in Glen Arbor said craft beer IPAs are the most popular beers there.

Others citing craft beer were The Beverage Company (fruit beers like Cheboygan Brewing Company’s Blood

18 • august 12, 2019 • Northern Express Weekly

Orange, Bell’s Oberon, and IPAs like last summer’s insanely popular M-43, brewed

by Old Nation Brewery in Williamston, Michigan), plus Dockside (Two Hearted, Founders All Day IPA and KBS, Oberon), Scooby’s and Toski Sands.

Grumpy’s Corner Store in Gaylord said lots of Oberon and Two Hearted, but also Leinenkugel Summer Shandy and Bud Lite “Craft Beer is always a strong mover, with clear spirits coming in third, followed by wine,” said Beaudrie at Manistee Beverage Company.

A FEW MAVERICKS Last, the outliers. Cadillac’s Rosa Blanca said No. 1 on its bestseller list is actually bourbons. At Fieldstone, it’s beer (anything from Right Brain, plus Budweiser and Bud Lite), followed by wine — especially local wines (“Cherry wines are very popular,” said Ryan Hagelberg).

While West Side Beverage is in on the hard seltzer craze, mentioning Truly as well as White Claw, Justin Gomez said No. 2 is ciders. Boyne Country Provisions sells more wine and Bud Lite than anything else. Points North in Harbor Springs said Bud Lite was its top-selling beer. Ditto the Wesco in Benzonia, which sells more Bud Lite than Fireball.

Good thing we asked around rather than taking the internet’s word for it. According to website Exuberation, the Joys of Imbibement, the most popular kind of beer in Michigan is — get this — mead. Right. That’s why there are so many meaderies in the region compared to breweries. Let’s count them — there’s Bee Well in Bellaire, Acoustic Tap Room in Traverse City, St. Ambrose in Beulah, and that’s it.

There are more breweries in this region than meaderies in the entire state.

Of course, this website also says the most popular cocktail in Michigan is the Golden Cadillac. If it’s on the internet, it must be true, right?

So with some healthy skepticism, we’ll look at Versus Reviews, which, using

Google search data, found the most popular cocktail in every state. The data showed that Michigan’s favorite cocktail is the Moscow Mule — the refreshing vodka, spicy ginger beer, and lime juice concoction served in a copper mug. Meanwhile, a Buzzfeed piece from last year found that the most popular alcoholic drink in the state is Oberon.

So can we draw any conclusions based on location? No. No, we can’t. Other than this: For all that we love and embrace Michigan’s wine and ever-growing craft beer and distilling scene, this summer — at the local party stores, anyway — they seem to be dwarfed by a new kid on the block, the winner and new champion: White Claw hard seltzer.

NOT YOUR DADDY’S PROTEIN How to navigate a protein-mad culture through a progressive — and body-critical — lens

By Loghan Call There are two major trends in food today: protein and plants. Protein-heavy diets are being promoted in both keto and paleo diets, while billions of dollars are being funneled into the creation of plant-based “meats,” such as the Impossible burger and others.

The issue, however, is that both of these paths present valid concerns. Whether you’re eating a significant amount of animal products or consuming highly processed plant-based proteins, these choices impact your health and the environment.

It’s understandable. Branded diets are attractive because they offer an easy list of what to eat and what not to eat. However, if we are to embody optimal health, part of the journey is to understand that our health and well-being is more complex than a simple elimination of certain foods. We must create a foundation for our eating habits that can be applied to any lifestyle. To build that foundation, I tell people to pay attention and, when shopping, preparing, and cooking food, commit to three critical pillars: sourcing, diversity, and moderation. These principles are applicable to any lifestyle and ensure that, regardless of income level, health concerns, or diet, you can make the best choices possible.

SOURCING Where is your food coming from? Ultimately, the best source is from a local farm that you know and trust. We are incredibly fortunate to live in a region that has an outstanding array of local farmers; they’re critical for sourcing meats or plants. How the farmer works with the land determines whether your body will get the critical nutrients it needs. It also impacts the degradation of the soil or the regeneration of it. Soil health can be a complex topic, but the bottom line is that soil health equals environmental health, which equals human health. Ask the farmers you buy from what soil health practices they 1

are using. Note: Supporting the best, local farming practices isn’t always a financially viable option for everyone. But the next two principles are obtainable within any budget.

DIVERSITY Over the years, the diversity of our food system has shrunk by startling numbers. As the industry grew to provide massive amounts of food for display in supermarkets, the majority of food is grown to meet consumer expectations in terms of size, look, shape, and beauty — often at the expense of taste and nutrients. This has had a significant impact on our health. We need diversity in our diet to receive the spectrum of nutrients and vitamins our bodies need to thrive.

Instead of just grabbing white rice, try barley. Instead of red peppers, give daikon radish a try. If you’re able to shop at a farmers market, ask your farmers for samples of anything you’re not familiar with, and for ideas on how to prepare it. The bottom line is that, with an already slim choice of foods (compared to what nature offers), we are consuming a small percentage of available nutrients due to our desire to stick with what we know.

2

MODERATION Any food in excess isn’t good for our system. If you think about these three principles while shopping, cooking, and eating, you’ll start to see patterns and habits.

Recognize the foods you are over-consuming and apply the diversity principle on your next shopping trip. Also, recognize that moderation can be — and often is — difficult. Our bodies are addicted to certain foods, and it takes dedication to break the addiction.

With the three principles in mind, it becomes obvious that relying on the same cuts of meat or the newly developed plant proteins isn’t optimal. Want to broaden your diet and nutrient uptake? Here’s three outstanding protein sources you might not have considered: 3

BLACK LENTILS Unlike green and red lentils, black lentils will hold their shape after cooking (instead of turning to mush).

After cooking (around 20–30 minutes on medium boil), rinse them with cold water to keep them from cooking any further. The natural flavor of black lentils is tame, which means that, like a piece of meat, the final flavor is up to you.

You can use them for all kinds of dishes. I love putting them in salads, one-bowl meals, or adding some cajun seasoning and dropping a scoop in a taco. Another favorite application is to add them into a cucumber salad. Toss together your favorite cucumber salad recipe and add in an equal portion of black lentils for a real boost of protein and nutrients.

PRICE: Often found for about $1.50 to $3 per pound.

One cup uncooked makes four cups cooked.

PROTEIN: They offer a bountiful 18 grams of protein per cooked cup.

COOL FACT: The lentil family is excellent for improving the health of the soil. They are one of the few crops that help with nitrogen fixation, an important aspect of maintaining a healthy balance in soil.

AMARANTH Most people know about quinoa — now meet its cooler, cheaper mate, amaranth! Amaranth is actually a seed and can grow most anywhere. You’ll often see amaranth in breakfast foods, cereals, and granola. However, there are plenty of ways to utilize amaranth in every meal.

Here are three tasty ways to use amaranth: One, when cooking any grain, add in 1/4 part amaranth. During the cooking process, the tiny little seeds will stick to the other grains. This eliminates the “stickiness” of the grain if cooked alone, plus adds a different texture along and wonderful health benefits. Two, you can also puff it! Like corn, amaranth can be puffed and used as a topping on any type of sweet or savory dish. To puff amaranth, heat a pot with no lid but high sides (to prevent amaranth from going everywhere) to medium-high heat. Once hot (about 5 minutes) add amaranth one tablespoon at a time. If your heat is correct, amaranth will start to pop within 20 seconds. Once the popping slows, remove from heat immediately, and drop puffs into a bowl. Repeat until you have the amount desired, making sure to maintain a hot pot bottom. Finally, the other easy application is use amaranth flour in baking, once again pairing around 1/4 part amaranth flour with the other flour you are using in a recipe.

PRICE: $3–$10 per pound, and a little goes a long way.

PROTEIN: 26 grams per cup COOL FACT: Amaranth is considered a superfood. It is a complete protein, offering all of the essential amino acids your body requires to make use of the protein it offers.

SEITAN If your body can handle gluten, then seitan is worth your time. Quite simply, seitan is the protein found in wheat. It is important to note that seitan is a processed food.

However, unlike many other foods, the processing is quite limited. In fact, you can make seitan at home, and it takes about the same amount of time as a pie crust would.

Whether you buy seitan ready-made or make it yourself, seitan is pretty much a blank canvas to start. A simple way to use seitan and get a feel for it is to use it in a stir fry. Sauté onions, garlic and sesame seeds, then add in the seitan and let it cook and brown slightly before adding to whatever vegetables you’d like.

If you want to make your seitan from scratch, you’ll need to buy “vital wheat gluten,” which is simply the protein in flour form. Doing it yourself allows you to season it the way you’d like from the very beginning.

Follow the directions on the package to make it. It’s pretty straightforward: Create a dough, slice it into the cut size you’d like, and cook in boiling water. Once out of the water, you can use it any way you wish, including freezing some for later use.

PRICE: $4 for 8 oz. packaged seitan; $6–$10 per pound of vital wheat gluten PROTEIN: 75 grams of protein per 100 grams of seitan COOL FACT: By itself, seitan is not a complete protein, however, if you cook it with soy sauce or liquid aminos, you’ll be adding the missing amino acids you need to complete the protein.

TRY, TRY AGAIN

Our initial reaction to new foods can be negative because our system isn’t used to the taste. However, if you’re willing to experiment with them a few times you can grow to enjoy new flavors and textures. For instance, bitter foods are incredibly healthy for us, and while you might react unfavorably at first, with time you can actually even begin to crave the flavor. This is because our palate adapts based on what we are consuming, and our body craves the mineral diversity needed for optimum health.

TACO TUESDAYS! Prefer to taste-test before you buy or cook? Head to Cultured Kombucha Co.’s Taproom for an upcoming Taco Tuesday: Chef Loghan will cook up plant-based tacos — paired with a kombucha mocktail! — so you can sample a new protein source while learning how to integrate it into your lifestyle. The first Taco Tuesday collaboration featured jackfruit — a tropical fruit that offers some protein — tacos (seen here). Stacked high with cilantro, sesame rice, and BBQ jackfruit, the tacos also sported some serious home-grown love: black garlic and cucumber herb cream from Bear Creek Organic Farm; umi plum pickled red cabbage and microgreens from Lakeview Hill Farm; and hand-made organic, non-GMO blue and yellow masa tortillas that were pressed and cooked to order. Better than lettuce and sour cream? Exactly.

Seitan will be the featured protein on Aug. 13, tempeh on Sept. 10, and quinoa on Oct. 8. Each event runs 4pm to 8pm and entry is free (there is a small charge for tacos and mocktails), but you must register for each event at www.drinkcultured.com. Find Cultured Kombucha Co.

WWPJ fans will find a lot to like about this set, a special expanded anniversary edition of the band’s debut album, which is celebrating 10 years this year. The new version includes all of the original material, plus eight previously released tunes, one of which is the rarely heard demo version of the band’s first real hit, “Quiet Little Voices.” Vinyl fans can snag the album, in an equally special doubleLP gatefold, on gold-colored vinyl; this is the perfect set to listen to while you prep to see WWPJ on tour this summer.

CREP

The one downfall of this album that’s evident from the start is one that’s likely not the fault of the artist: the production. Over-burnished to within an inch of its glossy life, this set could’ve benefitted from a little studio restraint. But that said, it says a lot for James’ songwriting that the tunes themselves still stand out.

There are plenty of radio-friendly singles here, but it’s the ones that really seem to dig into the singer’s emotions that stand out: “If I Didn’t Tell You,” with its evident heartache, and “Big Picture,” with its clear depiction of doubt are just two.

Thom Yorke – Anima – XL Recordingss

Penned by Yorke and produced by longtime collaborator Nigel Godrich, the Radiohead frontman’s latest solo effort, nine tracks in all, is even more experimental (and far less radio-friendly) than Radiohead’s releases.

This set in particular is spare in instrumentation and production. Yet, it’s also a nightclub-friendlier effort, with much of the focus on tracks like “Traffic” and “Twist” that find Yorke threading his vocals through the beats, with most instrumental sounds either generated by or run through computers. Standouts include the unexpectedly pretty “Dawn Chorus,” featuring a filtered monologue, and “Runwayaway,” with audacious loops.

Lighthouse Family – Blue Sky in Your Head – Polydor

After a whopping 18 years away from any album releases, the British duo (Tunde Baiyewu and Paul Tucker, both of Newcastle) are back with this two-disc set. The first disc presents new music, and the second features remastered versions of some of their classic hits.

The band is also back with their original mid-’90s label (Polydor), all the better to promote tunes like the pensive soul of “Live Again,” the anthemic, romantic heft of “Waterloo Street,” and the richly arranged and thoughtful title track.

DYLAN RETURNS TO THE CANYON

MODERN

Jakob Dylan

ROCK

BY KRISTI KATES

Singer-songwriter Jakob Dylan, son of the legendary Bob Dylan and best known for his work as frontman of the ’90s band The Wallflowers, is host of a new documentary film on the music scene of Laurel Canyon, California, in the ’60s. The film, Echo in the Canyon, interviews Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys, Ringo Starr, Michelle Phillips, Eric Clapton, and many more, drawing out conversations about the history and traditions of the era as the West Coast music community grew. The film also features new performances of songs from that same time period (“Goin’ Back,” “In My Room”) covered by more modern artists like Fiona Apple and Beck …

The Killers has been adding in some interesting new cover tracks during its current tour. At Glastonbury, the band covered Pet Shop Boys’ “Always on My Mind” before teaming up with the PSB’s Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe for a new take on The Killers’ own “Human.” During that same performance, the band featured Johnny Marr on a cover of The Smiths’ “This Charming Man.” Other audiences have been treated to covers of The Alarm and The Undertones.

Check out the band for yourself just a few states south; it’ll be at the Pilgrimage Music Fest in Franklin, Tennessee, Sept. 21 …

Mumford and Sons will stay on the road in continued promotion of its newest album, Delta, with even more dates added to the tour schedule, including stops in Vancouver, British Columbia, on Aug. 7; Greenwood Village, Colorado, Aug. 15–17; Phoenix, Arizona, on Sept. 16, and Las Vegas, Nevada, on Sept. 21 at the iHeartRadio Music Festival.

Supporting the band on tour will be special guests Portugal. The Man, Lord Huron, Gang of Youths, and Milk Carton Kids …

Musician/producer Brian Eno was just honored with something much bigger than a Grammy Award; he’s got an asteroid named after him. The science festival Starmus V presented Eno with the certificate, which stated that Asteroid 81948 is now dubbed Brian Peter George St John le Baptiste de la Salle Eno (or just “Eno”). This news was announced in close conjunction with the release of Brian Eno, Daniel Lanois, and Roger Eno’s latest instrumental track, “Capsule,” which is available on the newly expanded and remastered version of their collaborative album, Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks, in stores now …

LINK OF THE WEEK Former Oasis singer Liam Gallagher is back, with a Manchester-grunge rock track called “The River.” Featuring echoing drums, thick guitars, and lyrics about

challenging society and authority, the tune has a challenge-riven video — a young man throws away his cell phone! — and is part of Gallagher’s upcoming album, Why Me? Why Not. Get a glimpse at www.youtube.com/ watch?v=OMpqWyeNf_E …

THE BUZZ Lots of guitar-based talent is taking over Meijer Gardens this week; check out what’s sure to be a scorching performance from Jonny Lang, JJ Grey, and Mofro on Aug. 14 …

Michigan band Graham Parsons and The Go Rounds has released its latest album, Whatever You May Be, with production by Chris Koltay and Ben Cohen …

Wine Dinners

The Lakeside Motor Sports Summer Concert Series at Canadian Lakes, Michigan, is set to welcome Danielle Cosby to its stage on Aug. 24 …

Flashback to 2003: Avril Lavigne is on tour again, with a packed schedule of major cities, including Chicago (Sept. 26 at The Chicago Theater), Detroit (Sept.

28 at The Fox Theater), and Toronto (Oct. 6 at the Sony Center for the Performing Arts) … and that’s the buzz for this week’s Modern Rock.

: I met a guy, and he was very enthusiastic, calling and texting multiple times every day, almost obsessively. Soon after, I was having a really bad week: too much work, health issues with my parent…just really vulnerable. He said stuff like “I’d never leave you,” “I’ll never run away.” Well, a couple of days later, he just vanished.

I blocked him after two days of no contact, and I feel kind of bad. All my girlfriends think it was too harsh, but my guy friends think it was the right thing to do and said they block people all the time. Why the difference in opinion?

— Ghosted

A

: Being in a relationship can have some costs, but ideally, they don’t include hiring a private detective with a team of tracking dogs.

It actually isn’t surprising that your male and female friends have differing reactions to your blocking the dude. Psychologist Simon BaronCohen’s research suggests that women are born empathizers in a way men are not — meaning that from early childhood on, women are driven to notice and identify others’ emotional states. They tend to be deeply affected by others’ feelings and are emotionally triggered into a sort of fellow feeling (empathy). Men, on the other hand, tend to be “systemizers,” driven from early childhood on to identify the “underlying rules” of the inanimate world, like those governing the operation of machines, abstractions (such as numbers), and objects (like a soaring baseball).

Of course, men aren’t without empathy. But research consistently finds women higher in empathy than men. Law professor and evolutionary scientist Kingsley Browne observes in “Co-Ed Combat: The New Evidence That Women Shouldn’t Fight the Nation’s Wars” that women’s “greater empathy may be responsible for the heightened guilt and anxiety that women feel about acting aggressively.” Browne cites brain imaging research by neuroscientist Tania Singer that suggests men’s empathy for a wrongdoer “may be more easily ‘switched off,’” and observes that “men’s diminished empathy for those who ‘deserve’ punishment probably increases their willingness to kill the enemy” in war.

The thing is biology is not destiny. Recognizing that you, as a woman, might have a propensity to be “nice” to people who don’t deserve it can prompt you to recheck your decisions to go easy on somebody. Don’t expect it to feel comfortable at first when you stand up for yourself; you’re bucking countless centuries of evolved human female psychology. In time, however, acting empowered should start to feel right — meaning you’ll be all “Of course!”

BY Amy Alkon

about blocking a guy who doesn’t get that just disappearing is acceptable only for a tiny subgroup of beings: those whose workstation is a magician’s top hat.

Hunk Bonds

Q

: I’ve slept with a lot of really hot guys, but weirdly, the guys who end up being my longterm boyfriends are not the super hot ones.

My current boyfriend is attractive but not even close in hotness to some of the guys I’ve had one-nighters with in the past. I’ve noticed this pattern in female friends’ guys, too. Why is this a thing?

— Interested

A

: There’s a certain kind of man a woman looks to date exclusively...for three to five hours.

I often cite research from evolutionary psychology that finds that women across cultures prioritize finding a man who’s a “provider.” A man’s appearance isn’t unimportant, but context — whether a woman’s going for a long-term or shortterm thing with a man — is a factor in how much it matters. Not surprisingly, if a guy is a potential husband, a woman’s more likely to make do with, say, a dad bod and a weak chin than if she sees him as a potential hookup — a disposable himbo, a single-use Adonis.

A possible evolutionary explanation for this is the “sexy son hypothesis.” Evolutionary psychologist David Buss explains that “by mating with an especially attractive man, a woman might be able to bear a son who is especially attractive to women in the next generation. Her son might have increased sexual access, produce more children, and hence might provide his mother with additional grandchildren.”

There is support for this idea in research by biological anthropologist David Waynforth, which finds that ladies on the hookup track prefer men with more masculine facial features — a la square-jawed superheroes.

Hookup-minded women likewise favor more muscular men (according to research by social psychologist Michael J. Bernstein).

However, when a woman needs to make tradeoffs between hunkaliciousness and character to land a long-term partner, it surely pays to relax a little on physical criteria: go for a really good man who’s good enough in the looks department. “Good enough”? He doesn’t have to be smokin’ hot, but he can’t be so uggo that you need to reassure him, “Not to worry! My sex drive will come back...um, when you’re on the mantelpiece in an urn.”

BY ROB BREZSNY

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Moray eels have two sets of jaws.

The front set does their chewing. The second set, normally located behind the first, can be launched forward to snag prey they want to eat. In invoking this aggressive strategy to serve as a metaphor for you in the coming weeks, I want to suggest that you be very dynamic and enterprising as you go after what you want and need. Don’t be rude and invasive, of course, but consider the possibility of being audacious and zealous.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “For though we often need to be restored to the small, concrete, limited, and certain, we as often need to be reminded of the large, vague, unlimited, unknown.” Poet A. R. Ammons formulated that shiny burst of wisdom, and now I’m passing it on to you. As I think you know, you tend to have more skill at and a greater inclination toward the small, concrete, limited, and certain. That’s why, in my opinion, it’s rejuvenating for you to periodically exult in and explore what’s large, vague, unlimited, unknown. Now is one of those times.

too strong a word to describe such discoveries. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, Gemini, you now have the patience and perspicacity to engage in a comparable process: to find useful resources through experiment and close observation—with a hardy assist from your intuition.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Today the city

into my eyes. Kiss me, and you will see how important I am.” Poet Sylvia Plath wrote that, and now, in accordance with astrological omens, I’m authorizing you to say something similar to anyone who is interested in you but would benefit from gazing more deeply into your soul and entering into a more profound relationship with your mysteries. In other words, you have cosmic permission to be more forthcoming in showing people your beauty and value.

of Timbuktu in Mali is poor and in the throes of desertification. But from the fourteenth to seventeenth centuries, it was one of the great cultural centers of the world. Its libraries filled up with thousands of influential books, which remained intact until fairly recently. In 2012, Al-Qaeda jihadists conceived a plan to destroy the vast trove of learning and scholarship. One man foiled them. Abba al-Hadi, an illiterate guard who had worked at one of the libraries, smuggled out many of the books in empty rice sacks. By the time the jihadists started burning, most of the treasure had been relocated. I don’t think the problem in your sphere is anywhere near as dire as this, Cancerian. But I do hope you will be proactive about saving and preserving valuable resources before they’re at risk of being diluted, compromised, or neglected.

PISCES (Feb 19-March 20): In his Anti-

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It’s relatively rare,

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Look

Memoirs, author André Malraux quotes a tough-minded priest who served in the French Resistance during World War II. He spent his adult life hearing his parishioners’ confessions.

“The fundamental fact is that there’s no such thing as a grown-up person,” the priest declared. Even if that’s mostly true, Pisces, my sense is that it is less true about you right now than it has ever been. In the past months, you have been doing good work to become more of a fully realized version of yourself. I expect that the deepening and maturation process is reaching a culmination. Don’t underestimate your success!

Celebrate it!

ARIES (March 21-April 19): How did sound

technicians create the signature roar of the fictional monster Godzilla? They slathered pinetar resin on a leather glove and stroked it against the strings of a double bass. How about the famous howl of the fictional character Tarzan? Sonic artists blended a hyena’s screech played backwards, a dog’s growl, a soprano singer’s fluttered intonation slowed down, and an actor’s yell.

Karen O, lead singer of the band Yeah Yeah Yeahs, periodically unleashes very long screams that may make the hair stand up on the back of her listeners’ necks. In accordance with astrological omens, I’d love to see you experiment with creating your own personal Yowl or Laugh or Whisper of Power in the coming weeks: a unique sound that would boost your wild confidence and help give you full access to your primal lust for life.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “If your dreams

do not scare you, they are not big enough,” said Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, ex-President of Liberia.

In accordance with astrological imperatives, I propose that we make that your watchword for the foreseeable future. From what I can tell, you’re due to upgrade your long-term goals. You have the courage and vision necessary to dare yourself toward an even more fulfilling destiny than you’ve been willing or ready to imagine up until now.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): How did our

ancestors ever figure out that the calendula flower can be used as healing medicine for irritated and inflamed skin? It must have been a very long process of trial and error. (Or did the plant somehow “communicate” to indigenous herbalists, informing them of its use?) In any case, this curative herb is only one of hundreds of plants that people somehow came to adjudge as having healing properties. “Miraculous” is not

but now and then people receive money or gifts from donors they don’t know. Relatives they’ve never met may bequeath them diamond tiaras or alpaca farms or bundles of cash. I don’t think that’s exactly what will occur for you in the coming weeks, but I do suspect that you’ll garner blessings or help from unexpected sources. To help ensure the best possible versions of these acts of grace, I suggest that you be as generous as possible in the kindness and attention you offer. Remember this verse from the Bible: “Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libra-born Ronald

McNair was an African American who grew up in a racist town in South Carolina in the 1950s. The bigotry cramped his freedom, but he rebelled.

When he was nine years old, he refused to leave a segregated library, which prompted authorities to summon the police. Years later, McNair earned a PhD in Physics from MIT and became renowned for his research on laser physics.

Eventually, NASA chose him to be an astronaut from a pool of 10,000 candidates. That library in South Carolina? It’s now named after him. I suspect that you, too, will soon receive some vindication, Libra: a reward or blessing or consecration that will reconfigure your past.

ScORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Scorpio author

Zadie Smith wrote, “In the end, your past is not my past and your truth is not my truth and your solution—is not my solution.” I think it will be perfectly fine if sometime soon you speak those words to a person you care about. In delivering such a message, you won’t be angry or dismissive. Rather, you will be establishing good boundaries between you and your ally; you will be acknowledging the fact that the two of you are different people with different approaches to life. And I bet that will ultimately make you closer.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Nothing

fruitful ever comes when plants are forced to flower in the wrong season,” wrote author and activist Bette Lord. That’s not entirely true. For example, skilled and meticulous gardeners can compel tulip and hyacinth bulbs to flower before they would naturally be able to. But as a metaphor, Lord’s insight is largely accurate. And I think you’ll be wise to keep it in mind during the coming weeks.

So my advice is: don’t try to make people and processes ripen before they are ready. But here’s a caveat: you might have modest success working to render them a bit more ready.
