HARBOR SPRINGS

Wine along the waterfront Rachel Brougham (231) 439-9348 - rbrougham@petoskeynews.com

HARBOR SPRINGS — It’s a chance to sip a variety of wines along the Harbor Springs waterfront. The Harbor Springs Waterfront Wine Festival will return on Saturday, June 25, for its sixth year. The festival includes wines from around the world, along with local food vendors and live music. It will run from 4-7 p.m. beneath a tent located on the waterfront between Stafford’s Pier Restaurant and

the tennis courts in downtown Harbor Springs. “Each year we try to make the festival a little better and a little more enhanced,” said Scott Herceg, executive director of the Harbor Springs Area Chamber of Commerce and an organizer of the event. “This year’s festival is really coming together.” Like in years past, the chamber is working with Scenic Michigan on the festival. Scenic Michigan works to enhance the beauty of Michigan’s communities and roadsides,

and proceeds from the festival will be split by the two organizations. In addition to 11 wine vendors and nine food vendors, Herceg added that the raffle this year will be a bit different. In recent years, the grand prize was a trip. However, this year, the grand prize will be a personal wine cellar with a minimum of $500 worth of wine, along with $500 in chamber gift certificates to be used at area businesses. “It really helps keep the proceeds local and we’ve had so much support from

our vendors and supporters getting involved this year,” he said. Raffle tickets are $10 each or three for $25. The John Driscoll Ensemble will entertain the crowd with live jazz music throughout the festival. The festival draws about 500 people and has continued to grow each year. Herceg noted that the festival helps kick off the summer season in Harbor Springs. “There’s just so much going on,” he explained. “Thursday is our first Street Musique, followed

by the wine festival on the weekend, then the gallery tour and the Fourth of July. You package that all together and that is two weeks that you need to be in Harbor Springs. If you’re not, you’re just missing out.” Tickets for the Waterfront Wine Festival are $10 in advance and $15 at the door. The cost includes two samples of wine, additional samples are $2 each.

Teen headed to year-round dance study Rachel Brougham

(231) 439-9348 - rbrougham@petoskeynews.com

or the last two years, 15-year-old Ellie Conners of Petoskey has spent six hours a day, six days a week in the dance studio. That’s on top of school. She’s continued to work toward her goal of becoming a professional dancer, giving up time with family and spending time on the dance floor instead of hanging out with friends. Now, that rigourous schedule has paid off. This September, Ellie will take her talents to the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre where she recently accepted the opportunity to study full time. “I’m not nervous to be dancing, but I’m a little nervous about leaving home,” Ellie said. “I’m really looking forward to the challenge and know it will be a great opportunity to further develop my skills as a dancer.” Conners While having dancers as young as Ellie study yearround at prestigious dance schools and academies isn’t that uncommon, Ellie’s background in dance may come as a surprise to even the world’s top instructors. Ellie began dancing in elementary school, she didn’t really focus on the art until just four years ago when she began taking ballet classes with Crooked Tree Arts Center Dance Department director, Heather Raue. “I had friends that worked with Heather and I always did well with dance in school, but when I began working with Heather, it made me realize how hard it can really be,” Ellie said. “She really expects you to perform at a high level and that really challenged me — I wanted to do well.” In the four years she has been dancing for Raue, Ellie has attended various summer intensive programs to further develop her

skills. A year ago, Ellie attended the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre’s five-week summer intensive program. The instructors were so impressed, they offered her the opportunity to study there year-round. But after paying a large amount of money for the five-week program, along with being just 14 at the time, Ellie and her mother, Jeanne Conners, didn’t feel the timing was right. “We decided we would wait until I was in 11th grade. I knew I would always go there eventually, so I just kept working and looking to the future,” Ellie explained. Months later, the news came. The company still wanted Ellie for the year-round program, and her mom felt she was ready. “I got a text message from my mom saying she put a down payment on the yearround program. I was so excited,” Ellie said. Ellie will say goodbye to her family and friends in early September and move into a house with 14 other dancers her age. She will continue to study six days a week for six hours a day, and will study everything from classical ballet and modern dance to choreography and character. She will continue to take classes online, something she has done for the last year. While she is nervous about the transition, Ellie has looked up to fellow Dance Department dancer, 16-year-old Claire Millard, who was accepted into the year-round program at the School of American Ballet in New York City. “I’ve always looked up to Claire and it’s been great hearing about her experiences and knowing that she has been through this. That has been helpful,” Ellie noted. While Ellie is focusing on the next step in her dance career, the goodbye is bittersweet for those around her. “It’s really a mixed bag of emotions,” said her mom, Jeanne. “I’m excited and proud for her to have this opportunity, she has

But I will miss her. I won’t worry about her because she is rock solid, but I will miss her company.” “Ellie is one of those people you run across once in a while who inspires you, and all around you, to be better,” Raue said. “I have grown from instructing Ellie in

countless ways. Although I am so very excited for her deserved opportunity, I will be carrying a very heavy heart. I am not just losing a student, but a dear friend.” Those interested in being a benefactor for Ellie and her year-round study program at the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre, can contact Crooked Tree Arts Center at (231) 347-4337.

The interest is there,” Varga said of the dual enrollment program. “These are perspective college bound students with a real interest in art and having this opportunity for them has just been amazing.” Varga will teach Drawing I and 3-D Design during the coming school year while Zimmerlee will teach 2-D Design and color. The cost of the class is $1,860, but if it is taken as dual enrollment, $1,200 is paid for by Kendall College of Art and Design. The student is responsible for the $660, although the school district often covers a portion of the remaining balance. “This really is a college level class — students receive a syllabus, it’s Kendall quality, and we really have the very best teachers,” Brunson said. “This is college level art at a slam dunk design college.” For more information on the dual enrollment program, visit www.kcad. edu/admissions/dual-enrollment.

BOYNE CITY — It’s called SoBo, and it might just be the most happening intersection in Charlevoix County. On June 24-25, the SoBo Arts Festival will return for its second year in Boyne City. The festival is a celebration of all the arts, including music, dance, painting, photography and even crafts. “The definition of SoBo is the intersection of Lake and Main Streets — that really is the heart of SoBo,” said festival organizer, Robin Lee Berry. A focus of the festival is getting all ages to participate, so Berry noted that there will be some differences in this year’s schedule. Performing bands will play longer into the evening to help keep people out and strolling the festival. Also, craft tables for children will be moved into the middle of the juried art fair located on Lake Street in front of Freshwater Studio, making it more convenient for par-

That will allow the community to see how these students are doing and how their art skills are coming along.” Music and dance are also a highlight of the festival. On Friday evening, there will be swing dancing in the streets with the Bay Area Big Band.

Dancing begins at 7 p.m. with an instructional lesson, while the band gets under way at 8 p.m. “People just loved the dancing last year and the band. Some just about fell over because they recognized faces in the band and I really think this town will be surprised what talent makes up this band,” Berry said. On Saturday evening, there will be a contra dance from 7-9 p.m., which Berry compared as a cross between square dancing and blue grass. Music will be performed by the band Peacemeal and

a caller will call the dance moves. Other bands that will perform throughout the festival include Boyne Celtic Collective, The Hand-Me-Downs, Younce Guitar Duo, the North Woods Recorder Consortium and the Charlevoix Community Band. “This isn’t just a juried arts fair,” Berry said of the festival. “This community is growing the arts and that’s what we want to show.” Berry noted the final schedule for the festival is still being put in place.

PHILADELPHIA — The Uncanny X-Men, soon to end in just a few more issues, won’ t be gone for long. Two new titles will re place Marvel Comics’ longest-running current series in November as it draws a 48-year run to a close with issue No. 544. In what the publisher is calling “X-Men Regenesis,” two separate teams calling themselves the X-Men will take root this fall with the respective series — “Wolverine & The X-Men” due in October and “Uncanny X-Me n” star ting in November. They will feature a divided roster of former friends and colleagues under decidedly different leadership and boasting competing goals. Nick Lowe, who has edited the current series and Marvel’s X-Men related titles, said the logic of dividing the teams will become readily apparent as the divide between longtime leader Cyclops, aka Scott Summers, and his comrade but less than friend, Wolverine, aka Logan, see what’s left of their tenuous partnership shatter in the upcoming mini-series “XMen: Schism.” It is being written by Jason Aaron. “The best thing about this split is that the two books hit two very different chords. One is hardcore super hero action and the other is something else entirely that I can’t go too deep into without spoiling ‘Schism,”’ Lowe said. “The best way I can describe it is a return to a structure that made the X-Men what it was.” And that, he said, is why there will be two titles rising, phoenix-like, from the ashes of one. Kieron Gillen, who is writing the current “Unc a n ny X - M e n ” a n d w i l l do the same for the new series, said much of what is to come will be laid out in the five-issue “Schism” story that comes out next month. T hough details of the story have been kept under wraps, Marvel has made no secret of the impact it will have on the X-Men and their friends.

REVIEW: ‘Mr. Popper’s Penguins’ takes flight Jake Coyle AP Entertainment Writer

Steven Spielberg, a producer of the film “Super 8,” poses with his wife, actress Kate Capshaw, at the premiere of the film in Los Angeles, Wednesday.

favorite

Steven Spielberg movies

Christy Lemire AP Movie Critic

his is perhaps the most daunting Five Most challenge I’ve thrust upon myself: choosing my five favorite Steven Spielberg movies. B e c a u s e, o f c o u r s e, there are way more than five great ones. He’s one of the defining American filmmakers of our time. Even a top-10 list might have been insufficient. Some omissions are surely going to leave you guys feeling baffled, even i n c e n s e d . H ow d a re I leave out “Saving Private Ryan”? Where’s “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”? Somebody actually pays me to do this? I’m an idiot! Hey, it would have been g reat to include “Minority Report” or “Munich” in here, too. But I only get to choose five. That’s why the game is fun. So, with the opening this week of “Super 8,” J.J. Abrams’ loving and meticulous homage to the early work of Spielberg — who’s a producer on the film — I humbly select my five favorite movies Spielberg has directed. Feel free to lemme have it: “Jaws” (1975): One of Spielberg’s earliest films still might be his best. He defined the summer blockbuster with this little movie that became an enormous pop culture phenomenon. Looking back at this (and “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” which we’ll get to soon), the tangible, substantive quality of the effects is striking, even quaint — especially after having seen so many soulless, CGI spectacles. And of course, his killershark tale was scary as hell; even then, Spielberg knew how to do a lot with a little, and that’s especially true of John Williams’ deeply haunting, minimalist score. He made us feel nervous about making ourselves vulnerable in a place that should be so happy and safe: the beach at the height of summer. What he didn’t show, what he merely suggested, was

more frightening than the torture porn that became so popular over the past decade. “E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial” (1982): Maybe it’s a nostalgia thing. Maybe it’s Spielberg’s uncanny knack for conveying the feelings of loneliness and fear that every kid experiences (his parents’ divorce is what inspired the movie). But I cry every time. I’m a grown woman — I’m not afraid to admit it. I know E.T. is going to live, and I know the little alien is going to phone home, and I know the spaceship is going to swoop down to pick him up and take him back to his planet where he belongs. Doesn’t matter — it still gets me. The sweetness of the friendship between Elliott and E.T. and the iconography of the imagery endure nearly three decades later. And of course, there is that sweeping, Oscarwinning Williams score. I’m getting choked up just thinking about it. Pass the Reese’s Pieces. “Raiders of the Lost Ark” (1981): Spielberg was a big kid with an even bigger toy set here, reenacting all those Badventure pictures he’d g rown up loving. Like “Jaws,” “Raiders” has a rough-hewn look about it that seems utterly charming today. You get the feeling that the boulder Harrison Ford is running from is an actual and very dangerous boulder. Plus, this first Indiana Jones movie is just a ton of fun, full of snappy banter, imaginative set pieces and breathless action. Ford is at the height of his swagg er as the resourceful and fearless (except when it comes to snakes) archaeologist, figuring a way out of every tricky situation with his trademark fedora intact. And I know I sound like a broken record mentioning Williams again, but just try getting that jaunty theme song out of your head. The best of the series, by far. “ S c h i n d l e r ’s L i s t ” ( 1 9 9 3 ) : An extremely

personal film for Spielberg, it’s also his masterpiece. It was nominated for 12 Academy Awards and won seven, including best picture and best director. Spielberg tells the tale of Oskar Schindler, a German businessman in Poland who tur ned his factory into a refuge for Jews during the Holocaust, in exquisite black and white (the Oscar-winning work of his frequent cinematographer, Janusz Kaminski). The approach is not only aesthetically striking, it also provides a star tlingly intimate contrast with the epic nature of this true story. Harrowing, heartbreaking and ultimately hopeful about the possibility of humanity, it features beautifully textured perfor mances from Liam Neeson and Ben Kingsley. “ C a t c h M e I f Yo u Can” (2002): You probably would have chosen something different for this spot. This is probably where you would have put “Saving Private Ryan.” But as much as I admire the enormity, detail and technical wizardry of that movie, “Catch Me If You Can” is the one I’d rather watch again and again. After a series of heavy films including “Schindler’s List,” “A.I. Artificial Intelligence” and, yes, “Saving Private Ryan,” Spielberg allowed himself to have a good time again, and a giddy sense of adventure radiates from every frame. Leonardo DiCaprio is at his boyishly charismatic best as real-life con artist Frank Abagnale Jr., with Tom Hanks clearly having a blast playing a broad comic character as the FBI agent on his tail. It’s slick and sexy, and it grabs you from the first seconds with its retrocool title sequence and Williams’ jazzy, catchy s c o r e. S p i e l b e r g j u s t seemed so free here and the result is one of the most fun movies ever to come from this big kid at heart.

he char ming 1938 children’s book “Mr. Popper’s Penguins,” by Richard and Florence Atwater and with wonderful illustrations by Robert Lawson, ends with a “No, thank you” to Hollywood. Mr. Tom Popper, a poor house painter, is inundated with penguins after being sent one from Admiral Drake in Antarctica. He eventually takes his dozen penguins on tour in a traveling stage act, making him wealthy and famous. When a movie producer comes calling, Popper declines his entreaty, saying, “The life in Hollywood would not be good for the penguins.” But Hollywood is persistent, particularly when penguins are at stake. Director Mark Waters (“Mean Girls,” “Freaky Friday”) has finally gotten Mr. Popper and his flightless gang up on the big screen. The differences are many between the book and the film, but “Mr. Popper’s Penguins,” thanks in large part to Jim Carrey’s deft, funny performance, has its own charms. It’s a saccharine film, with predictable story lines and glossy studio veneer, but — rather surprisingly — it slides enough screwball comedy in between the cracks to avoid becoming the kiddie schmaltz it would seem destined to be. The film opens in the 1970s with a young Tommy Popper communicating with his traveling father by ham radio. But his dad (radio name “Bald Eagle”) rarely has time for his son (“Tippy Toe”) while off on his never-ending adventures. Three decades later, the grown Popper (Carrey) has become an elite Manhattan real estate developer. He specializes in buying up city landmarks and has done well enough that he’s on the cusp of being made a partner at his firm. His alliterative assistant Pippi (Ophelia Lovibond), trails him everywhere in a torrent of P-words, like a walking, talking tongue twister. In his professional dedication, though, Popper has lost his wife, Amanda (Carla Gugino). His kids (Mad-

Popper’s world is shook — and surely you saw this coming — when a package arrives from his father, shortly after his death. He bequeaths Popper a penguin, who clashes in temper if not color with Popper’s sleek Park Avenue apartment. More soon arrive and eventually six of them are honking, pooping and waddling all over Popper’s place. He only keeps them because his kids take a shine to them. A lot of flatulence, groin gags and slapstick follows. Popper grows closer to the penguins (and thus his family) while he tries to hide them from a poaching zookeeper (Clark Gregg) and a nosey neighbor (David Krumholtz). The penguins — a smooth mix of the real deal and CGI effects — aren’t nauseatingly cute (thankfully), but are more endearingly bumbling. Put on “The Gold Rush,” and the tuxedoed ones can only gaze lovingly at their hero, Charlie Chaplin. All of this would be simply banal if not for Waters’ surehandedness and Carrey’s clever inserts. This is staccato Carrey, throwing in lines and rubbery faces in between the kid movie machinations. At one point, he tosses in a Jimmy Stewart im-

pression, which is fitting because Carrey has a similar kind of presence in the film. Carrey is, of course, more comical, but after an absence from moviemaking, he slides well into the sort of role Stewart once donned: a New Yorker rediscovering his heart. The Big Apple plays heavily — far too heavily — in the film. It was shot in the city (far from the country town of the book) and comes off as an obvious travelogue, with stops at Central Park, the Brooklyn Bridge and the Guggenheim — whose Frank Lloyd Wright circular interior admittedly turns out to be an excellent penguin slide. But the film has a nice breezy relationship to the present, with references to Mayor Bloomberg, “The Hurt Locker” and even CNBC’s “The Squawk Box” — a clever touch. As Popper balances family and profession, the building his firm is desperately seeking is Central Park’s Tavern on the Green. Angela Lansbury plays Mrs. Van Gundy (no relation, apparently, to the former Knicks coach), who is looking to sell. It’s a great advertisement for Tavern, only it comes a bit too late. The restaurant closed last year after filing for bankruptcy. Not all penguins can fly. “Mr. Popper’s Penguins,” a 20th Century Fox release, is rated PG for mild rude humor and some language. Running time: 95 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.

BOYNE CITY MARKET OFFERS TASTING EVENTS Rachel Brougham

ustomers at Lake Street Market in Boyne City have always been able to try before they buy. Recently, the owners of the speciality market and deli have taken that business idea, and turned it into regular tasting parties. “Our joke has always been, ‘When’s our next cheese tasting?’ It’s whenever you ask us, ‘What’s that one like,’” said market co-owner, Liz Glass. “We sample things all the time, but it’s always been very informal.” Back in March, Lake Street Market began offering more formal tastings of various products sold at the store. Glass said they began offering the tastings during the winter, the slowest part of the year, to be able to offer food lovers an event to

look forward to. “It was easy and fun for the locals to stop in and enjoy something on their way to whatever their Friday night plans were. And we thought, ‘We love wine and we sell great wine, but everybody has wine tastings. Why not do food tastings?’” News spread, and in the weeks and months that have followed, there has been little off limits for tastings. Tasting events have featured everything from market made bagels and pizza, to Spanish cheeses, sodas and even hot sauces. “We try to mix it up among things we do ourselves, new products we want to feature and local producers who can come in and be guest stars and showcase their artisanal products,” Glass said. “Our guiding principle has always been that it matters how you make something and it matters
