Man, are we getting old Average county population increases 8 years in 1 decade By Amy Hubbell Of The Enterprise staff

Leelanau County is aging nearly as quickly as the years pass by, based on 2010 Census figures. According to data provided by the Northwest Michigan Council of Governments, the number of people on the peninsula 85 years of age or older has nearly doubled from 360 in 2000 grew to 705 in the decennial census. Perhaps even more telling, the median age of county residents jumped nearly eight years from 42.6 to 50.3. Life for the elderly has been the focus of Bob Schlueter’s career. Schlueter is executive director of the Area Agency on Aging of Northwest

Michigan (AAANM), which provides in excess of $3 million in federal and state funds to community organizations for services to the elderly. Schlueter sees every day the needs of a growing population. “Recently, my time has been spent educating legislators about what’s happening with our aging population,” said the Leland resident said. Schlueter said Gov. Rick Snyder’s proposed budget includes big cuts that would hit core programs that help seniors stay in their homes longer. While Schlueter noted he has not observed an increase in the volume of calls to the agency, he has seen a change in the type of people seeking assistance.

Yes, we are older and grayer. But what else does the 2010 Census tell us about the people and where they live on the Leelanau Peninsula? Following are some distinctions between townships, as provided in the Census: • Suttons Bay Township has the most diverse population in the county — although in national standards, the township remains populated with white residents. The Leelanau population as a whole is overwhelmingly comprised white residents with just over 93 percent of those counted. Suttons Bay Township is home of the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa & (Concluded on Page 15)

Keep 7 districts

No change likely on commission By Eric Carlson Of The Enterprise staff

For the first time since the 1970 Decennial Census, the Leelanau County Apportionment Commission appears ready to retain the number seats on the Leelanau County Board of Commissioners. With population growth nearly flat, members of the commisison voted 5-0 Friday to keep the number of commissioner seats at seven – although some pointed out they could change their minds before making a final decision by a June 6 deadline. The number of county commissioners on the board has fluctuated between five and seven every (Concluded on Page 15)

FOUNTAIN POINT Resort on Lake Leelanau hosted the first-ever day of practice for the newly formed Lake Leelanau Rowing Club on Monday. Resort proprietor Erik Zehender acquired a number of crew racing shells last year, and in November 2010 hosted the University of Michigan rowing team for practice sessions on Lake Leelanau. The new rowing club consists of local high school students and adults. Additional members are being sought. Anyone seeking more information may call Fountain Point Resort at 256-9800.

Leelanau needs a ‘brand’

INSIDE

Part of meeting with Tribal Council By Eric Carlson Of The Enterprise staff

GOVERNMENT LEADERS including the Tribal Coucil of the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians and the Leelanau County Board of Commissioners hold a joint meeting Tuesday afternoon in the Tribal Council chambers in Peshawbestown.

For the first time since 2009, the Leelanau County Board of Commissioners and the Tribal Council of the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians have conducted a formal joint session. One item to come out of the meeting: A desire to work harder at establishing a “brand” for the county. In 2009, there had also been a nearly two-year gap between a meeting of leaders of the two largest government bodies in Leelanau County. At that time, the meeting occurred in the Community Meeting Room in the lower level of the Leelanau County Government Center. The joint meeting Tuesday afternoon was held in the Tribal Council chambers in Peshawbestown. As they did at their 2009 meeting, those in attendance noted that there was no fixed agenda for the meeting, and suggested that the next time they

meet they should have an agenda. As they did in 2009, commissioners and tribal councilors discussed their common interest in doing a better job of marketing Leelanau County to attract more visitors and increase business opportunities for tourism in the county. The tribe’s service area encompasses six counties in northwestern lower Michigan, but its primary enterprises – the Leelanau Sands Casino, the Turtle Creek Casino and Grand Traverse Resort & Spa – are located in Leelanau and Grand Traverse counties. Tribal Chairman Derek Bailey suggested that Leelanau County and tribal officials might consider sponsoring a Leelanau County “placemaking” event similar to one sponsored earlier this year in Grand Traverse County by organizers of The Grand Vision, a regional land use and transportation initiative. He said he agreed that the county could do more to “brand” itself. (Concluded on Page 15)

I would like to offer my sincere thanks and gratitude to the loving community of Glen Lake during the time of our sorrow and celebration of Dick Smith’s life. The many cards, phone calls, offerings of food and help have made my family’s transition much easier. I would like to share my farewell to Dick with you... “You made me a wife, you made me a mother, you made me laugh, you made me cry, you made me happy, you made me sad, you made me proud, you made me mad, all too soon you made me a widow, but I will be grateful each day for the life we had.”

The couple were originally interred in St. Mary’s old cemetery, now the St. Mary School parking lot, and moved to the present St. Mary cemetery in the 1930s. A new headstone has been erected

ELLSWORTH A. FAULMAN Traverse City - Ellsworth Albert Faulman, 100, long time resident of Glen Lake at Burdickville and formerly of Detroit, passed away Tuesday, May 10, 2011 at Munson Hospice House in Traverse City. Ellsworth was born 100 years ago on April 4, 1911 to the late Arthur and Bertha (Bauer) Faulman in Detroit, MI. Ellsworth spoke German and English until he was 5 years old and remembered horse drawn delivery wagons. He was a graduate of Cass Tech High School in Detroit. Ellsworth, son of a grocer, and Lucille Tong, daughter of a minister, met in 1932 at Redeemer Lutheran Church, Detroit. They were engaged on a wintry Christmas Eve in 1937. On a hot, humid and stormy day, June 15, 1938, they were married by Lucille’s father in Redeemer Lutheran Church. The marriage was not legally recorded until a year later as Lucille’s father had forgotten to send in the marriage license! Two days after the wedding, they honeymooned at Glen Lake at the Peppler summer cottage on the north shore. A foot washing tub of water froze on the back porch one night during their honeymoon. Following their honeymoon, Ellsworth and Lucille made their home in Trenton, MI. Ellsworth was in the insurance business and Lucille was a homemaker. They gave birth to three sons: Thomas who died in 1988, Lawrence and Robert. In July of 1948, the Faulmans bought Poulins grocery store in Burdickville. They built the Glen Lake Trading Post just east of Poulins the winter of 1948/49. The Trading Post was both their residence and livelihood for thirty years. It became a popular Ma and Pa resort business selling meats, groceries, beer, wine, magazines, gifts and famous sodas and sundaes in the soda bar. In the summer season for many years, Ellsworth worked in the store from 6:00 am to 10:00 pm seven days a week serving summer visitors from Grand Rapids, Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis and beyond. In the off season, Ellsworth worked twenty six years at Hamiltons Men’s Clothing Store in downtown Traverse City. The Faulmans retired from the Glen Lake Trading Post in 1978. They continued to make their home there. Over 30 years after the close of the store, loyal customers still reminisce about the wonderful chocolate sodas served with a smile from Ellsworth the best “soda jerk” on Glen Lake.

Since 1948, Ellsworth along with Lucille was active in the Lutheran Church, Glen Arbor, then, Trinity Lutheran Church, Traverse City, finally, making the Glen Lake Community Reformed Church, Burdickville, his church home. He served for many years as an elder at the Glen Lake Church. Ellsworth was active in the Glen Lake community. He was highly involved in the Glen Lake Community Schools consolidation effort in the mid-1950s. He served on the Glen Lake School board for 12 years, 11 of those as president. For a time early in retirement, he tutored children in the Glen Lake Elementary School. Ellsworth had a beloved connection to Glen Lake for 73 years and was a resident for 62 years. Ellsworth and Lucille, his wife of 72 years, were crowned King and Queen of Burdickville in 2010. In March of 2010, he moved to Concord Place (Bortz) and in February of 2011 to Munson Hospice House. Ellsworth is survived by his children, Lawrence Lowell (Nancy) Faulman of Grand Rapids, Rev. Robert (Alice “Peggy”) Faulman of Boyne City, his 6 grandchildren, Benjamin, Katie (Brandon) Zibell, JoAnna, Michael, Sarah (Thomas) Arthur, and Abigail (Philip) Deloria, his 3 great-grandchildren, Jack and Morgan Zibell, and Micah Arthur, as well as many other loving family and friends. Ellsworth was preceded in death by his wife, Lucille in April of 2010, his son, Thomas Faulman, parents and one brother, Kenneth Faulman. Visitation for friends and family was held from 5-7pm on Wednesday, May 18 at the Reynolds-Jonkhoff Funeral Home, 305 Sixth Street, Traverse City, MI. A Witness to the Resurrection memorial service will be held 1pm, today, May 19 at the Glen Lake Community Reformed Church, 4902 W. MacFarlane Road, Glen Lake, with Rev. Andrew Bassardet officiating. Grave-side committal service for family will be held in Maple Grove Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be directed to the Glen Lake Community Reformed Church or the Munson Hospice House. Please share your thoughts and memories with the family at www.reynoldsjonkhoff.com The family is being served by the Reynolds-Jonkhoff Funeral Home and Cremation Services.

Default bad, but no time to panic So what happens if the developer of the former Leland courthouse complex misses its most substantial payment to date? Probably nothing substantial, at least for awhile. Oh, commissioners will complain and administrators will calculate. Penalties and interest will be applied as allowed by a land contract signed last year while the county reviews its options. And there will be short talk of revoking the land contract, of taking back a property that was sold at the peak of the real estate market for $2.4 million. But if county commissioners fully understand why Varley-Kelly Properties has been late on its most recent payment of $270,000 and struggled last year to pay property taxes, they’ll tread lightly for awhile longer. That’s how land contracts work in a depreciating housing industry. The seller recognizes that the price on the dotted line is worth more than the value of the land today. And finding another buyer in today’s market — a reliable buyer, one with a stake in Leelanau County who would be as willing as Varley-Kelly Properties to obey the political will of local governments — might be close to impossible. Most developers will struggle to make payment in such a market. Consider the plights of BayView in Suttons Bay and Timber Shores in Leelanau Township. The same problems that have slowed the efforts of VarleyKelly to market its land and townhouses would adversely affect a new developer, who would probably pay the county much less for the same land. We’re not condoning the missed payment, and we recognize that payments will only get steeper. The 2012 payment is $715,000. Frankly, unless the housing industry turns around much quicker than predicted by pundits with far more economic training than us, we don’t know how the development makes it under the current contract. But stranger things have happened, especially when business people feel they have a financial and a personal stake in the outcome. We believe that description fits former Leland dentist and St. Mary golf coach Jim Varley; and his partner Gene Kelly, who with Varley owns PDM Lumber in Bingham Township. We suggest the county use constant vigilence, apply pressure when needed, and keep a good land attorney on speed dial until this plays out. It’s not time to pull the plug.

Decisions still seem out of touch As a newspaper, we consider this space provided for our opinions as a precious commodity, and seek to avoid spending too much ink on one topic affecting Leelanau County. But as we’ve provided plenty of space for rebuttal on the opposite page, we also feel inclined to keep the record straight. And so we are revisiting recent actions of the Northport Village Council. First off, yes, indeed the council voted to review one of two major contracts let at its meeting two weeks ago. We did misinterpret a vote on the topic. The events were opposite of what common sense would dictate. The council voted to approve a contract for the Schiffer Group that was more than double the low bid. It was after voting 4-2 to accept Schiffer’s contract — and some rather snide remarks directed at the village president for wanting an attorney to first review the contract — that the council allowed president Fred Steffens to review the contract’s language. We apologize for missing the second motion, in our coverage and an editorial last week. The gist of the editorial was that four council members were basing decisions more on relationships than the common good, and despite opinions to the contrary carried in this edition, we believe that to be true. Much has been made of the fact that a competing bid for the waterfront design project was based on a higher per-hour wage. Actually, the hourly rate meant nothing; the contract provided a guaranteed “not to exceed” price. The motion “setting” hours for the clerk position, for which Joni Scott is being paid $35,880 per year, assigned her to be “in the office Monday-Friday 8-12 with an additional ten hours of work on the weekend or as she chooses.” Our reading of that motion is that she can work not only when, but where “she chooses.” The original goal was to have the clerk in the office and available to the public during work days; apparently mornings are close enough. There are other thoughts we would like to make. Again, space is precious. No, we’re not from another planet, as suggested by one letter writer. And we’re not out to make things up, as suggested by council member Phil Mikesell. We do believe the four council members making these decisions are good, honest people. We wrote that their decisions seem out of touch. Our opinion hasn’t changed.

Gas price answer: allow drilling To The Editor: Gas prices are in the headlines again. This time Bush and Cheney cannot be blamed. So, the Democrats in Congress are once again grilling the CEO’s of the big oil companies trying to make “Big Oil” appear to be the greedy culprit when anyone paying attention knows it is the policies of this administration that have exacerbated the situation. Obama and members of his administration have publicly stated we need to have higher gas prices. They want us to consume less. Though Obama is making a show of sympathy for folks like those mentioned in the Enterprise article, how are we to believe that sympathy is genuine? Government’s restrictions on drilling play a major role in high gas prices. Some in Congress seem to resent oil companies making a profit, never mind that their profit margin is less than half of that made by computer companies, and according to the Conoco CEO, the taxes the company pays is just about equal to their profits. That means revenue for government. Obama’s moratorium on drilling by U.S. meant loss of jobs for Americans and more dependence on foreign oil. Obama’s claim that “With 3% of the world’s oil reserves, the U.S. cannot drill its way to energy security.” is not an accurate statement according to the recently released study by the non-partisan Congressional Research Service. Their study of U.S. Fossil Fuel Resources concluded that America’s combined supply of oil, coal and natural gas is the largest on earth and that America’s recoverable resources are far larger than those of Saudi Arabia which is the third largest. Our gasoline prices are high because our government will not permit our U.S. companies to access our own domestic resources. These experts determined that the U.S. can be energy secure if our government will let us. Wilma McQueen S. Schomberg Rd., Leland

Much information, little news about Sugar Loaf Ski season has been over for a long time now; but some people still seem to be thinking about it. Recently, I’ve received a spate of phone calls and inquiries from readers and others about the status of long-shuttered Sugar Loaf Resort. The former mainstay of year-round employment in Leelanau County has remained a topic of significant interest both at this newspaper, in other local media, and in the minds of community members since it closed for skiing in March 2000. Having covered the ongoing Sugar Loaf saga for the Enterprise continuously since 1998, I suspect I might know as much about what’s going on with the resort as anyone. Anyone, that is, except for the resort’s nominal owner, Kate Wickstrom, and members of her family, as well as the Bloomfield Hills couple who apparently control mortgages on the resort, Hanna Karcho-Polselli and her husband, Remo Polselli. Mr. Polselli, as you may recall, was an owner of the resort until he was convicted of tax evasion related to another property he owned in 2003. I continue to check federal and local court files as well as other public documents available all over the place to keep track of these people. But it isn’t easy. In addition, I keep hearing about a guy from Owosso named David Skjaerlund who has supposedly been trying to buy up properties in the Sugar Loaf area and may be interested in acquiring the resort itself. But Skjaerlund doesn’t answer my phone calls or reply to my emails, and public records do not reveal much about him. Wickstrom has an extensive file, much of which is related to her professional involvement with Narconon drug rehabilitation facilities as well as some unrelated personal matters that are really none of our business.

Polselli and Karcho-Polselli, A column on the other hand, have been involved by in so many lawsuits over the past Eric Carlson decade-plus that it’s impossible to keep up with all of them. Their names are associated with literally dozens of different corporate entities they set up that appear to be doing business all over the country, but primarily in Florida and Michigan of late. Somebody asked me recently what business one of Karcho-Polselli’s many corporate entities is actually in after a Michigan Court of Appeals ruling surfaced with her name attached. That was easy to look up. Karcho-Polselli’s corporate entity in this case was a limited liability company that was established “to engage in any activity with the purposes for which a limited liability company may be formed under the Limited Liability Company Act of Michigan,” according to corporate records. That sounds exactly like most of the couple’s other businesses. I think it costs about $20 to set up such a company Michigan. The Polsellis have been associated with all kinds of them. One Polselli entity is currently being sued in federal court down in Florida. What all this has to do with Sugar Loaf Resort is beyond me. Along the same lines, I recently saw an article in a local daily newspaper about a “former wouldbe owner” of Sugar Loaf Resort who currently resides in Las Vegas – Eneliko “Liko” Sean Smith. All I really know about Liko Smith these days is that his wife recently tried to “friend” me on Facebook – and I ignored her. Meanwhile, I’ve still got Kate Wickstrom’s and the Polsellis’ double-secret personal cell phone numbers on speed dial; and I’m on a first name basis with most of their lawyers. And I still don’t know squat.

No-tax pledge only more letters to the editor applies to some taxes Northport editorial was ‘baseless’ The Michigan legislature approves a half a billion dollar tax hike. That’s the kind of story you would expect from a Democratic governor and legislature. Look again. That hefty tax hike on some retirees was adopted by a GOP governor and his pals in the Republican controlled house and senate. Who’d thunk it? For decades GOP lawmakers have steadfastly opposed anything that even looked like a tax hike. They would sign and then wave around their “No Tax Pledge” card with honor and a selfserving smile because opposing taxes was a one way ticket to re-election. Enter one Rick Snyder. There’s an “R” after his name yet some conservatives believe it’s a wobbly “R” at best. He never signed the pledge. Seven right-wing senate Republicans refused to cough up a yes vote on the governor’s pension tax on those under sixty. But astoundingly, 19 did. When Democrat Jennifer Granholm went to Republicans with her tax hike schemes, they laughed her out of the room. Yet Mr. Snyder still basks in the joy of boosting taxes, albeit on straight partyline votes including 56 house Republicans who all of a sudden look like tax and spend liberals…yeah, that’s a stretch but its not that far off. Take Sen. Mike Green from Up North. He’s about as conservative as it gets, and up until now he never met a tax hike he didn’t hate. But he was the deciding vote that set up a 19-19 tie on the pension tax allowing Lt. Gov. Brian Calley to break it. Or how about Sen. Mike Kowall (R-Oakland County.) During his years in the House and Senate, the Democrats never asked him for a tax hike vote. It was a waste of time, but there was Big Mike, punching the green yes button while holding his nose at the same time. And then there is Tea-Party Sen. Patrick Colbeck. He signed the no tax pledge and did vote no on the senate floor, but he provided the decisive fourth yes vote in committee which teed up the governor’s package for final approval in the senate. A true anti-tax believer would have stood fast in opposition to block this tax hike from getting to the floor, but he gave the governor the vote he needed. Surely the national and Michigan T.P. crowd are up in arms, and will haul these three and other Republicans to the wood shed. Nope. The man who invented the no-tax pledge gave everyone a bye, noting that the overall Snyder plan was a net tax

Tax rich, keep Medicare To The Editor: Republicans want to end medicare and start a voucher system when they know it will hurt the elderly and poor. We have CEO’s getting 23 percent pay raises when the working people are getting nothing and these jerks want to do away with medicare so the fat cats can have another tax break. We need to raise taxes on the rich and cut the spending on the war and military. Then lay off half the Congress. Alfred Wilkins Birch Rd., Traverse City

cut…yeah a tax cut for business with seniors getting a tax hike. So much for Grover Norquist’s credibility. And the vocal Michigan Tea Party? It was MIA. And on top of that, sneaked into the bill was a freeze on the state income tax rate that was going to go down before the governor decided it shouldn’t, and he got Republican votes for that, too. Heck when the aforementioned Ms. Granholm tried that, the GOP Party Chair, Betsy DeVos, called it a tax increase. Nobody from the party did that this time. Surely all this means Mr. Snyder will be a one-term governor because the Democrats will remind seniors about the pension tax. But he just may have the last laugh and not run.

School community celebrates children To The Editor: Another graduation is upon us and we gather to mark the milestone. As we share our excitement about the opportunities that lay ahead for our children, we would like to pause and thank some people at Suttons Bay Public Schools who have dedicated their professional lives to our children’s success. Along the way, a nurturing teacher helped us recognize our students’ strengths and, at times, their weaknesses. Through ABCs and 123s, lost hamsters, and the “puberty talk,” our kids overcame their fears and foibles and, in many ways, so did we. Thank you for always being the first to buy Girl Scout cookies, wrapping paper, sports cards and for chaperoning events. There were struggles and a social worker who supported us and wiped our tears. There were smiles and help from a secretary, lunch lady, custodian and sometimes, a firm redirection from an administrator. There were teachers and coaches who demanded the very best; a counselor and secretary who believed in them enough to find opportunities we never knew existed. A special thanks to a school community that recognizes and celebrates the integral part that the arts play in our children’s education and our community’s culture. You may have attended a play, concert, exhibit or sporting event and your participation was noticed. And finally, to all of the local businesses and quiet volunteers who keep libraries open and share their talents every day, know that you make a difference! Paula Kelly E. Easling Drive, Suttons Bay And Mark & Annette Evans, Kerry McFarlane and Carrie Sharp Parents of Suttons Bay seniors

somehow denied any legal examination. In fact, as your reporter observed, shortly after those questions we voted unanimously to approve the agreement with the lawyer to examine the contract. 4. You allege that we agreed to pay the clerk to work at home. As I’m sure that you are aware, clerks’ duties are defined by statute, and clerks are salaried not hourly employees. Nonetheless, we recently negotiated an arrangement whereby our Clerk would commit to being in the office for 20 hours per week. (8:00 - 12:00, M - F) She agreed, further, to work at the office another 10 hours per week at other times. To my knowledge, no one ever suggested that she would be working from home. Serious, constructive criticism is important. We in Northport, deserve better than the baseless attack that was last week’s editorial. We look forward to more serious coverage by The Enterprise. About the author Phillip Mikesell was elected as a township trustee on the Northport Village Council in November.

You’re entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts. Last week’s editorial taking to task the Northport Village Council made four serious charges. Such charges should be taken seriously, except for the fact that they all are either baseless or grossly misleading. 1. Your editorial alleges that the Village Council chose to officially ignore residency requirements for the clerk. In fact, I did call a committee meeting on the matter. After conversations with a couple of lawyers, it was my position that the Village Council has no authority to rule on the legality of the clerk’s officeholding which is a matter of state law. As you point out, individual citizens have pursued the matter. 2. You say that the Council baselessly spent $40,000 ‘extra’ on the waterfront project — that no valid reasons were given for rejecting the low bid and accepting the high bid. You must not have had information from the meeting or been aware that we had studied the proposals for several weeks. In fact, based on the firm’s

proposal and comments in an interview, several of us worried that Mansfield’s extremely low bid resulted from their failure to appreciate fully what the project involved. That’s especially true when it’s realized that Mansfield’s hourly rate was the highest of the bidders. Careful analysis of proposals convinced most of us that the Schiffer Group bid was the strongest. His billed hourly rate was the lowest. His higher bid total resulted from his estimate of many hours on the project. You might want to think about the distinction between price and value. Further, you conclude that the proSchiffer Group votes were an effort to validate the sewer project. In fact, The only people who brought up the sewer project were the anti-sewer crowd who sought to disqualify Schiffer out of hand, without any attention to the merits of his proposal. 3. You imply that the Council refused to allow legal review of the waterfront contracts. This seems to be made up. Several of us did ask President Steffens questions about his proposal (or are we to sit mute?). Your editorial suggests that those questions

Earth to Enterprise: coverage wrong

Lawyer needs to review contracts

To The Editor:

What planet were you, (Enterprise Editor), on regarding the Shiffer Group Contract, Northport Village Council meeting on May 5, 2011. I attended the council meeting and listened to President Steffens remarks regarding a review of the contract by Attorney Robert Tremp of Traverse City. A motion was made by Trustee Wetherbee to hire Robert Tremp to look at the contract and make recommendations, supported by Trustee von Voigtlander. The motion was approved by the members present. Was the Enterprise reporter also on another planet when this motion was passed? I acknowledge that I have been to “area 51” and went though the U.F.O. Museum at Rosell, New Mexico and my impression was “pure Hollywood.” My question is how much of the Enterprise editorial is “pure Hollywood?” Verify with the village clerk of Northport or come to a council meeting and ask what recommendations were made by attorney Tremp. Doug Kilgren P.O. Box 234, Northport Editor’s note: Our coverage stated that the Village Council approved two contracts for work in the village waterfront worth nearly $200,000 without legal review. In fact, attorney Robert Tremp was hired to review the contract for $73,700 with The Schiffer Group after the council had approved the contract by a split vote. The Schiffer Group provided the highest bid; the low bid was $34,000. A second contract to build a dockhouse at the marina was not reviewed by legal counsel before approval. Easling Construction of Leland was the low bidder at $124,593. We apologize for missing the second motion on the Schiffer contract in our coverage.

I want to thank you for the “Our Opinion” piece in last week’s paper. Your viewpoint is exactly the same viewpoint of many citizens of Northport. Fred Steffens is being thwarted in every effort to effectively be president of the Village Council. The fact that Steffens, as Village President, would like to have contracts reviewed by an attorney is justified and needed. To take the stance that one person has been overseeing these contracts in the past, as stated by a council member, is even more reason to have them reviewed. The lack of transparency in village business and decisions is made more apparent by the four council members who feel review is unnecessary. This is a lack of accountability and justification for actions affecting village residents. Your opinion piece, as well as Amy Hubbell’s continuous reporting on the village council meetings is appreciated. Christine Verdon Mill St., Northport

Thanks so much for the excellent articles on Leelanau’s returning migrating birds. Information included in both articles are important for people who want to help these feathered beauties. We might add that Alice Van Zoeren’s explanation of why unleashed dogs can be a problem for the ground nesting piping plovers also applies to woodland ground nesters like American woodcock and ruffed grouse. Please remember when you go into the woods at this time of year, whether to search for wildflowers, hunt morels or just for a hike, to keep your pet leashed. Dogs are very good at sniffing out nesting birds; that is their job. Leashing your dog will help protect eggs and nestlings from depredation.

The Road Commission is ready to start sealing cracks in some of the Leelanau County primary roads. At its meeting Tuesday the commission opened paving bids for six road improvement projects. The commission voted 2-0, with chairman Lee A. Bowen absent, to direct its administrative management to review bids submitted by Team Elmers and RiethRiley Construction, both of Traverse City, and award them in the best interest of the Road Commission. Elmers’ submitted the following bids: Lakeview Hills Road, a project to improve the road from Lakeview Road to County Road 641, $167,021.20; Lakeview Road, from 641 to County Road 633, $272,478.75; Leland streets, $75,264; Popp Road, $77,007.45; Carlson Road in Leelanau Township, $128,390.02; and County Road 667, a one-mile section from the Benzie County line north to M-72, $141,771. Reith-Riley bid as follows: Lakeview Hills Road, $194,927.30; Lakeview Road, $346,882.90; Leland streets,

$89,026.56; Popp Road, $81,279.75; Carlson Road, $136,607.57; and County Road 667, $156,611.60. Commission engineer James C. Johnson said the Lakeview Hills and Lakeview roads project is on hold as the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians has not received funds from the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs. Work on Leland streets should start in early June as the goal is to complete the project before the July 4 holiday weekend. Manager Herb Cradduck expected commission workers to begin crack sealing on County Road 641 yesterday. The commission has rented a crack-sealing kettle from a downstate company for $4.600 for a month. Crack sealing utilizes a heated patch substance in cracks, which helps extend the life of the road. Johnson said crack sealing will only be done on the county’s primary roads as pavement has to be thick enough for the process to work. “We want to have the crack sealing work done before July because July is when we will do our seal coating work,” Johnson said.

ship Board agreed not to waiver on its standing resolution stating that no fireworks permits will be issued by the township. A property owner on big Glen Lake has secured a conditional Department of Natural Resources permit allowing a display over the lake July 4. However, the approval is contingent on approval from the local unit of government. “If they are shot off, that will be a violation,” the clerk said. The board also approved a request for an application to the state Liquor Control Commission from Black Star Farms to allow wine tasting in a portion of the M-22 store, located on Western Avenue in the commercial district.

Glen Arbor Township is stepping up its surveillance of the boat launch at the end of Lake Street to encourage payment of fees through the present honor system. Township board members discussed the issue at Tuesday’s regular monthly meeting, a week after the launch ramp was installed for the season at the end of Lake Street. Currently, the township charges $5 per launch for boats going into Lake Michigan from the Lake Street loca-

tion. Season passes are $50 and commercial passes are $250 per year. In past years, the township has collected as much as $6,000 in revenue from the launch site — when an attendant was taking the fee. However, the site has not been manned recently — and revenue has dropped to just over $2,000 a year. One option discussed was installation of cameras to monitor use of the site. An informal survey by board members indicated that they believe 5 of 7 boaters launching at the site disregard paying the fee, clerk Bonnie Quick said.

Several other changes approved at village marina In an unusually short 20 minute meeting Monday night, the Suttons Bay Village Council took action on five issues all related to the village marina that opened for the season Sunday. In 7-0 votes, the village council adopted a series of amendments to the village “Marina Ordinance” that included a new slip reservations policy, an updated fee schedule, a new policy on who may enforce marina rules, and a budget update. Suttons Bay’s marina ordinance has not been the subject of any significant amendment since 2006. Changes adopted by the Village Council at its regular monthly meeting will: • Establish a reservations policy that may be amended in the future separately from the marina ordinance itself. A new transient slip rental policy clarifies deadlines and dates for making reservations. • Establish a new fee schedule to accommodate the new slip rental policy. The new fee schedule includes a 25 percent discount for rental of tran-

sient slips in the “pre-season” between April 15 and June 15, and the “postseason” between the second Monday in September and Oct. 15. During the regular season, transient slip fees remain $24 per day for boats up to 24 feet in length. • Require that any refueling within the marina be done with fuel purchased from the marina. • Authorize the harbormaster, marina supervisor and senior dock hand to order people to leave the village marina for violating rules. Village manager Wally Delamater also serves as harbormaster, and Edie Scott Aylsworth is filling the newly-created position of the marina supervisor. A senior dock hand has not yet been named. If violators do not obey orders from those three individuals, officials may call 9-1-1 for police assistance or turn the matter over to village police chief Del Moore. • Amend the marina’s budget by $16,700 to purchase a new 100-by-4foot floating dock to replace one damaged by ice over the winter. The damaged dock will be repaired later and then added to the marina’s overall dock system as part of a planned

Planners discuss how to deal with ‘non-conforming’ properties The Village of Suttons Bay Planning Commission last week continued work on zoning changes that will clarify how the village deals with existing properties that do not conform with ordinance requirements. The village staff planner, Kathy Egan, said members of the Planning Commission reviewed an analysis of “nonconformities” language provided by village attorney Bryan Graham, and sent a draft zoning ordinance amendment to a committee of the village council for further review. At their regular monthly meeting on

May 11, village planners also continued discussions about how to regulate medical marijuana dispensaries within village limits. Planners agreed to forward their ideas to the village attorney for review. In addition, planners also heard from Sarah U’Ren of the Watershed Center Grand Traverse Bay, Egan reported. U’Ren provided an informational presentation on the Village of Suttons Bay’s “stormwater action plan,” and discussed a “stormwater runoff assessment” Watershed Center staffers conducted recently in the village.

expansion. Village officials said the purchase had not been planned this year, but will accelerate plans to add a dock section next year. Damage to the dock section occurred when low water grounded one end of the dock and heavy snow caused the dock to twist and break. In other business at this week’s meeting, the Village Council also heard from Delamater that he and various committee are continuing to work behind the scenes on a variety of issues. Delamater is working on implementation of an energy efficiency grant the village received earlier this year, and committees continue to meet to discuss a Front Street Improvement Project. The village manager noted that at next month’s meeting the Village Council will be asked to consider adoption of a Joint Master Plan for Suttons Bay Township and the Village of Suttons Bay.

How’s this for busy: 8 games, 6 days this week. Glen Lake hosted the John Schloesser Memorial Tournament on Saturday. Glen Lake took on Traverse City Central in the first game of the day, with the Trojans winning 6-3. “We were up 3-1 in the fourth inning when we made a few errors and didn’t recover. You have to give Central credit for not letting us back in that game,” Galla said. Casey Kahler took the loss on the mound. Paige Picard and Sarah Popp each had two hits with Ali Harriger getting two runs on a triple in the first inning. Allen Park Cabrini beat St. Francis in the sec-

The Eagles are 6-10 overall and hope to continue their winning ways when facing Bay City All Saints at noon in the Mt. Pleasant Sacred Heart Invitational on Saturday. The tournament attracts the top Catholic school teams in the state. “Then we play Portland St. Patrick in our second game. We have two very tough teams to play,” said coach Sue Herman. St. Mary will then play at Leland on Monday, then will host Onekama on Tuesday. On Saturday St. Mary swept Bear Lake 7-5 and 11-3. “We had a good day with not such great

weather. We got some solid pitching from Claire (Garthe) and we had our bats going,” Herman said. In the first game Garthe allowed six hits and threw five strike outs as the pitcher. She helped her own cause at the plate by hitting two singles and scoring a run. Morgan Furore had two singles with a RBI, and Rachael Thon scored three times. Megan Popp hit a double and a triple and had 3 RBI in the second game. Garthe got the win allowing four hits and throwing three strike outs.

Rain has again impacted the high school softball schedule here in Leelanau County. Last Wednesday, Glen Lake was scheduled to play at St. Mary, but an almost all-day soaker prevented the county’s top softball teams from squaring off. They will play a double header on June 2 at St. Mary. Leland was also scheduled to host Benzie Central last Wednesday, but that game was cancelled as well. No make-up date has been announced. With May drawing down, time is running out for spring sports teams to make up games missed earlier in the season due to the weather. Glen Lake’s schedule is especially hectic, with 10 games on tap over six days. The Lakers was scheduled to play at Elk Rapids last night, is scheduled to play at Leland tonight, and is scheduled to host its second tournament in a week on Saturday. The busy schedule continues next week at home with Bellaire on Monday and Mesick on Tuesday. After hosting Glen Lake tonight, Leland will host St. Mary on Monday and will play at Kingsley on Tuesday. Comet coach Joe Nedow was out of town yesterday and unavailable for comment. “We’ve got a busy week ahead of us,” Laker coach Gary Galla said. On Saturday, Clare and Pine River will play the first game of the Laker Invitational at 9 a.m. Glen Lake will face Rogers City at 11 a.m. The consolation game should start around 1 p.m. and the championship around 3 p.m. “This should be a good tournament as all four teams are pretty decent,” Galla said. The Michigan High School Softball Coaches Association has Pine River ranked No. 6 in Division Three

Don’t count Suttons Bay out of the Northwest Conference race, especially after the Norsemen set back Buckley twice on Monday. Suttons Bay improved to 8-2-1 in the Northwest and 12-6-1 overall with 7-4 and 9-2 wins over the Bears. The Norse have three games remaining, including a double header at conference-leading Frankfort on Tuesday. They will play their final home game against Christian today, and travel to Harbor Springs on Saturday. “With some help, we can control out own destiny,” said Suttons Bay coach Doug Periard. “If Glen Lake wins out, they would also be in a position to win it.” Jared Orban scattered five hits and struck out 11 — a new career mark — in winning the opener. He was also strong at the plate, knocking in a pair of runs with a first-inning single and contributing the go-ahead run with a RBI single in the fifth inning to break a 4-4 tie. Orban’s outing helped to spoil a strong pitching performance by the Bears’ hard-throwing sophomore Joel Ledford, Periard said. Orban and Kelty knocked in runs with firstinning singles in the nightcap, helping the Norsemen take a 4-0 early lead. Orban went 2-for3 and knocked in 2 runs, while Kelty picked up another single and scored once. Blake Mikesell caused havoc with 2 walks to go with a single, RBI and 2 runs scored. Clay Joupperi was a big offensive contributor, going 3-for-4 with 2 RBI. Winning pitcher Guy Raftshol did not walk a batter and struck out 6 while going the distance. Eleven runs were the charm Saturday when the Norsemen set back Lake Leelanau twice, 11-4 and 11-3. Glowicki collected the win by scattering 4 hits, and went 3-for-4 at the plate while knocking in 3 runs. Orban doubled in 2 runs. Much of the Eagles offense came from back-toback home runs in the fifth inning. Mitchell Herman swatted a two-run shot, followed by Layton Korson’s solo homer. Winning pitcher Orban and Raftshol each pitched 3 innings in the second game. Glowicki was 3-for-4 with 2 RBI, while Mikesell tripled, doubled and knocked in 4 runs. For the Eagles, Herman singled twice and doiubled while Isaac Mikowski singled and doubled. Suttons Bay also beat Leland twice last Thursday, 9-1 and 10-0. In the first game, pitcher D.J. Popp allowed just 3 hits and struck out 7. Joupperi was 3-for-4 with a triple and 3 RBI; Glowicki doubled and knocked in a run; and Mikesell was 2-for-2. Credit pitcher Randy Kelty with allowing 2 hits in winning the nightcap. Orban was 3-for-4 with 3 runs scored. Kelty knocked in 6 runs with a sacrifice fly, single and bases-loaded triple.

Day of tribute Coaches honored at tourney

LAKER DYLAN WENDELS slides into third base during Glen Lakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 17-6 win over St. Francis is the first game of the John Schloesser Memorial Tournament Saturday. Brethren defeated the hosts 9-2 in the championship game.

G-L, Frankfort game has implications Glen Lake had a fairly easy time in running its overall record to 16-5-1 with double wins over intra-county rivals during the past week of play. On Friday, the Lakers set back St. Mary, 20-6 and 21-8. And on Monday, the Lakers prevailed 17-0 and 17-1 over Leland to run their Northwest Conference mark to 7-1. Frankfort sits atop the conference at 9-1, but the records will change tomorrow when the teams meet to complete a double header delayed by snow in April. The Panthers will hold a 5-0 lead heading in the third inning of the opener when play resumes between the teams on Friday. Suttons Bay has two losses in conference action, while Benzie Central has three losses. The teams also tied against each other. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are still quite a few teams in the race,â&#x20AC;? said Glen Lake coach Kris Herman. The Lakers traveled to Elk Rapids last night, May 18. Against the Comets, Glen Lake pitcher Simon Kohler yielded just a single to Leif Morman, and Laker Geno Peyerk belted his first varsity home run, a solo shot over the center-

field fence at Hancock Field. Dale Pleva added a bases-loaded triple, and Kohler also tripled for his cause. In the nightcap, Glen Lake pitchers Thomas Waning and Adam Scarbrough allowed just singles to Comets Lee Wichern and Jerry Alvarez, and a double to John Van Raalte. Scarbrough and Jake Johnston each had two hits for the Lakers, and knocked in 4 runs. Leland is winless on the season. Jordan Hill was the winning pitcher in the opener at St. Mary, scattering 6 hits and striking out 8. Curtis Bunek was the Lakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; big hitter, singling three times and swatting a double to knock in four runs. Credited with pairs of singles were Scarbrough (4 RBI), Johnston and Kohler. For the Eagles, Layton Korson doubled, singled and knocked in 3 runs. Mitchell Herman doubled. In the second game, Dylan Wendels picked up the win with relief help from Bunek. Pleva knocked in 5 runs with a pair of doubles; Scarbrough doubled and singled twice, and chad Allen accounted for 3 RBI with a single and a sacrifice.

Eagle Korson topped off a fine day at the plate with a solo home run to lead off the second inning, and a 3-run shot in the third. In all, he knocked in 5 runs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a proud program with great coaching and hard-working kids,â&#x20AC;? said Herman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be ready when we see them again.â&#x20AC;? Glen Lake and St. Mary will square off on May 31 in a pre-district game for the state tournament. St. Mary will travel Saturday to the Mt. Pleasant Sacred Heart Invitational, where the host team is ranked No. 3 in Division IV. Also present will be perennial power house Bay City All Saints. Glen Lake is 6-14. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Against Glen Lake, we had 9 errors in each of the games,â&#x20AC;? said St. Mary coach Steve Plamondon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Really, the story has been errors and bases on balls.â&#x20AC;? The Eagles also issued 17 walks in the two contests.

It was a day of heritage. Two legendary Glen Lake baseball coaches were honored at the John Schlosser Memorial Baseball Tournament Saturday, with the jersey â&#x20AC;&#x153;No. 20â&#x20AC;? carrying special meaning. Schlosser, who died in a car accident several years ago, wore No. 20 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as does former varsity and now assistant Glen Lake coach Randy Weber, who has been accepted into the Michigan High School Baseball Coachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hall of fame. Weber and Schlosser were honored before games began on Laker field, when jersey No. 20 was retired from use for all Glen Lake coaches and players other than Weber. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He can wear it as long as he wants to, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s retired to everyone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s use,â&#x20AC;? said present Glen Lake coach Kris Herman. And then the games began with Glen Lake knocking off Traverse City St. Francis, 17-6, to advance to the title game. Brethren, which has run up a 20-2 record, prevailed, 9-2. In the first game, winning pitcher Simon Kohler teamed up with reliever Thomas Waning to scatter 7 hits. Jordan Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2-run single in the first inning gave Kohler a lead to work with, and the Lakers blew the game open with six runs in the third inning thanks largely to Waningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two-run single. They added four runs in the fourth and the fifth and final inning. Adam Scarbrough and Jake Johnston each singled and doubled. Brethren, which was saddled with one of its two losses early in the season by Glen Lake, scored five runs in the third inning. Both teams had been held scoreless. The Lakers managed just two hits, singles by Johnston and Geno Peyerk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We gave each other opportunities, but we opened the door with some

fundamental mistakes. It was a wakeup call,â&#x20AC;? said Herman, whose team had won five straight. Brethren advanced to the final with an 8-1 win over Forest Area. The Warriors prevailed in the consolation game over St. Francis, 6-2. Glen Lake will be hosting back-toback tournaments with the Laker Invitational on tap Saturday. Once again, the tournament will pit Glen Lake against some of the better teams in northern Michigan, including defending champion Clare. Glen Lake will open against Pine River at 9 a.m., with Clare and Rogers City squaring off at 11:15 a.m. The consolation game will begin at 2 p.m.; the title game will follow at 4:15 p.m.

I was looking at PGA Tour.Com recently and noticed the leader in the category greens in regulation is at 73.6%. According to my calculator, that is just 13 greens per round! Wow! These guys play, practice, train for hours each day. They have the best equipment money can buy. Only 13 greens? Not to mention they are hitting it so far they rarely have more than a 7 iron approach and most par 5’s are chip shots! I feel better already about my game and you should too. What should our expectations be? You might only pick up a golf club once a week. We should expect to miss greens and be in bunkers and rough areas around the greens. Perhaps a little more practice on these shots would help our score? I’m sure it would. Here’s another stat. The leader in proximity to hole is 31’ 10”! We should be happy to be anywhere near the green! These are the best players in the world. One stat does impress me though and I know I can improve in this area as can you. The leader in putts per round is 27. That is 9 one putts per round! Count your putts next time you play and see how you measure up. I’ll see you at the short game practice area.

Fit to be tied 3 times over The county’s two varsity girls soccer teams have tied each other the last three times they’ve met, but both teams are hoping for a different — and more positive — result on Friday when Suttons Bay visits Glen Lake. The teams tied both times they played last season, and did it again last Wednesday, May 11, in a 1-1 draw. The teams were slated to play each other in their first games of the season, but the weather didn’t cooperate on April 5, with the game rescheduled for Monday, May 23. Last week at Suttons Bay, lady Norseman Sam Stark knocked in her team's only goal that game within the first 10 minutes of the first half off a free kick on the right side of the field. Erin Dingrando assisted. Then, with about 12 minutes to go in the second half, Laker Sam Thompson put one in the Norseman goal with an assist from Casey McDonough. “I know both sides would really like to put an end to finishing games with no clear cut winner,” said Suttons Bay coach Casey Wilcox. “Luckily, we get to play them again next week,” said Glen Lake coach Meg Murphy. “This was the third tie in a row and we are ready to see a win. I don’t know what’s up with the ties. It’s a good rivalry.” Both teams went on to victories in their following games. On Friday, the Lakers traveled to Traverse City to play TC Liberty. “This is was the only time we will play Liberty since they moved up a division and we won’t see them in Districts,” Murphy noted. “The whole game was competitive.” The Lakers won 1-0. “Clare Slack played an amazing game, and scored with three minutes to go off a direct kick” after Logan Popp was fouled, the coach said. “This was probably the most exciting win this year,” Murphy added. A game Monday at home against Kingsley was perhaps less exciting,

but more decisive. The Lakers beat the Stags 8-0 and mercied their opponent with 27 minutes left to go in the second half. Lakers who scored against Kingsley were Ty Fessell with three and Scotlyn Brengman with two. Also scoring were Logan Popp, Elle Barrett and Thompson. The Lakers held an 8-1-1 season record hosting a matchup Wednesday night against Elk Rapids. On Friday, the team was slated to head to Cadillac before hosting crosstown rival Suttons Bay on Monday. The Norse, meanwhile, notched a 7-1 victory over Benzie Central on Tuesday night. Gracie Earl had two goals and one assist while Charlotte Seeley had two goals. Justine Sourie had one goal and one assist. Stark and Emily Stowe each added one goal. Suttons Bay was holding a 10-42 record heading into the final few games of the regular season.

MacLellan is the son of Hugh MacLellan of Maple City and Dana MacLellan of Empire. Gallagher’s parents are John Gallagher of Elmwood Township and Lynn Gallagher of Traverse City. MacLellan was planning to relax a little this week before beginning workouts with the Grand Rapids Gazelle’s rugby team. But he got a call Wednesday morning from the US-20 rugby team to play with the team in London this weekend. He is also scheduled to travel to Denver next month to participate in the Midwest College All-Star rugby game.

Two county students, both freshmen at Davenport University in Grand Rapids, are part of the school’s national championship rugby team which captured the title last weekend. Angus MacLellan lays prop for the Panthers. Gabe Gallagher is the “8 man” on the squad which clinched the national title Saturday with a 3819 victory over the University of California-Santa Barbara. The Panthers, with the “youngest” rugby program in the country (second year) advanced to the final with a 61-20 win stomping of Harvard on May 13.

Lakers still on top; Norseman

Duddles hits a double eagle Right before the Division IV District play starts, the bragging rights for Leelanau County will be settled in the Leelanau County Shoot Out on May 31. Glen Lake, St. Mary and Suttons Bay will compete in the shoot out, which will be played at Mistwood Golf Course near Lake Ann, the Lakers’ home course. Glen Lake coach Fred O’Brien said the match will be geared for fun. The teams will play a normal format on the front nine. “On the back nine, we’ll play best ball. It’s going to be fun for the guys, a chance to compete,” O’Brien said. Before that happens, though, Glen Lake and Suttons Bay have a few more Northwest Conference matches to play. Yesterday was a very busy day as all conference teams traveled to Pinecroft Golf Course by Frankfort to complete the Panthers NWC Jamobree that started last Wednesday. “We got through eight holes at Pinecroft last Wednesday and then a flash of lighting got everyone off the course. The weather only got worse after that,” said Suttons Bay coach Todd Hursey. So, all the conference teams

returned to Pinecroft yesterday at 1:30 p.m. to complete the jamboree. Then they will drive about two miles north to play the Benzie NWC Jamboree at Champion Hills, which was to start around 4:30 p.m. On Saturday, Glen Lake, Suttons Bay and St. Mary will compete in the T-C Central Invitational at Lochenheath Golf Course near Williamsburg. On Monday the NWC Championship 18-hole event will take place at Mistwood. “This is a tough schedule we are on right now. The kids are missing a lot of school, we’re not really getting in any practice time. We are playing a lot of matches,” O’Brien said. Glen Lake won the rescheduled Mesick NWC Jamboree Tuesday by shooting a 167, with Suttons Bay coming in second with a 174. Laker Collin Richard was low score medalist for the event with a 40. Matt O’Brien carded a 41 and his brother Mike had a 42, with Brad Newman coming in at 44. “I would have liked to see a couple of my experienced guys get scores in the 30s. We had a little trouble with putting and

our short game,” coach O’Brien said. For Suttons Bay, Sean Lamie shot a 41 to be the team’s low score. Brent Duddles had a 43, Ryan Kratchovil had 44, and Eric Chapman a 46. Hursey said Duddles may have set a school record by getting a double eagle — a two under par — on Briar Downs No. 2 Par 5 hole. “Brent shot a two. It’s a dog leg hole with a blind approach to the greens. He hit his second shot, then everyone went looking for his ball because no one saw where it landed. He was about to take a drop when someone looked in the bucket (the pin hole) and there it was. I think that may be a first in school history. We’ve had eagles before, but I don’t think we’ve had a double eagle,” Hursey said. On Monday Glen Lake competed at the Claymore Invitational at Big Rapids. The Lakes took ninth overall with a team score of 344. O’Brien said there were 20 teams competing at the 18-hole event, with more than half coming from Division I and II schools. Mike O’Brien shot 81 and Matt O’Brien carded 82, Richard a 88, and Newman had a 93.

Bardenhagen fires low score at tourney The St. Mary boys’ golf team appears to be hitting its stride. The Eagles will compete at the Traverse City Central Invitational on Saturday at the Lochenheath Golf Course near Williamsburg. They will then travel to Indian River for the Inland Lakes Invitational on Tuesday. On Monday, St. Mary won the Benzie Central Invitational with team score of 316. Suttons Bay also competed at the tournament taking seventh place with a 337. St. Mary assistant coach Tim Schaub said Joe Pendergast took low man honors for the tournament with a 73. Conor Loberg shot a 79, and Paul Bardenhagen and Nick Shaffran came in at 82. JR and Ian Duvall round out the team score with 89s. “It’s good to see the team steadily

posting improved scored as we get closer to post season tournament play. It’s also good to have some intra-squad competition for the low score. Joe and Nick both shot their lowest scores of the season,” Schaub said. Sean Lamie shot a 76 to lead the Norsemen. Eric Chapman had a 86, Nick Cross a 88 and Brent Duddles had a 89. On Friday St. Mary competed well in the Bob Urschalitz Memorial Invitational hosted by Jackson Lumen Christi. Paul Bardenhagen was first out of 60 players at the event with a 69. St. Mary was the only Division IV team entered in the tournament. Team assistant Lucy Schaub said the tournament included many upper level schools. The tournament included Detroit Catholic Central, ranked No. 1 in Division I by the Michigan Interscholastic

Golf Coaches Association, and Lumen Christi is ranked No. 1 in Division III. St. Mary is ranked No. 5 in Division IV this week. The Eagles scored a 325 overall, taking eighth out of a field of 12 teams. Pendergast scored a 81, Loberg a 83 and JR Duval a 92 for St. Mary. Schaub said having Bardenhagen get low score out of group of very qualified players was a big plus for St. Mary. “It was great to participate in such a heavily contested invitational and to see that we could compete in a field that included three ranked Division I and three ranked Division III teams. I was especially proud of Paul earning medalist honors. He was the only player who broke 70 and was four strokes better than the second place finish of a player from North Farmington,” he said.

Reyhl steps back from collegiate football The Traverse City Bulldogs Athletic Association will host its first girls’ basketball camp for home-schooled children on June 6-7 and 9-10 at the East Bay Calvary Church in Grand Traverse County. Clint Couturier and Barb Plamondon, both of Lake Leelanau, are the coaches for the association’s girls varsity basketball team and along with team members will be leading the camp. Couturier said the camp is good for players of all abilities, but would be especially good for girls just starting out in the sport. The camp is divided into different age groups: elementary, 2-4 p.m.; junior high, 3-5 p.m.; junior varsity/varsity, 6-8 p.m. On June 7 the elementary and junior high camps will be held at the same time 306 p.m. The cost is $20. For more information please contact Couturier at 256-2192 or call Kim

Harcey at (231) 632-4160. ••• A Michigan State University rowing team, which includes 2008 Glen Lake graduate Abbie Christiansen, took a fourth place in the Big Ten championships Saturday at Eagle Creek park near Indianapolis. Also in Christiansen’s boat was Bobbie Molter, a freshman from Charlevoix. Michigan State’s first varsity boat took first place for the fourth straight year. Tuesday MSU received a bid to compete in the NCAA Div. I national championship in Sacramento, Calif. over Memorial Day weeked. In the national event only three boats compete from each university—two varsity 8’s and one varsity 4. Sixteen universities will be competing that weekend.

Records fall at Garland Elliot Clark broke Glen Lake’s school record in the 200 last week to pace the Lakers to a second-place finish in the Garland Relays at Suttons Bay. The meet marked the first time its namesake, longtime Suttons Bay track coach Bruce Garland, was not in attendance. Garland lost a long battle with cancer earlier this spring. Clark, a senior, broke Josh Irving’s 1993 record in the event, with a time of 22.89. Irving’s nearly 20-year-old record was 22.9. “Elliot will have numerous other opportunities to improve on this before the end of the season,” coach Ryan Schut said. “This is just a start.” Clark broke the school record, but came in behind Manistee’s speedy Evan Slawinski (22.77). Clark was also second to Slawinski in the 100 with a time of 11.40. Slawinski race the spring in 11.32. However, Clark did contribute to the Lakers’ first-place finish in the 400meter relay team that posted a time of 45.45. Also running legs in the relay were Jason Sawyer, Carter Lee and Parker Kokowicz. In the 400, Suttons Bay’s Ian Callewaert and Nick Kiessel were one

and two with times of 52.50 and 53.13, respectively. Kiessel teamed up with Caleb Korson for a second in the 1600 in the relay format. Korson was also third in the 1600 individually with at time of 4:43.94. In field events, Travis and Ryan Smith won the pole vault for the Norsemen with combined efforts of 22 feet. The Lakers’ best effort in field events were from Jason Sawyer in long jump (18’11”) and Matt Omerza in shot put (38’6”). Clark finished sixth in discus. In girls action, Glen Lake had its “best performance of the year,” coach Paul Christiansen said. “We finally had a warm night with light breezes,” he said. Katie Stowe (1:04.43) and Olivia Pina (1:09.31) placed third in the 400. The 1600 relay was fourth with a time of 4:33.48. Team members were Stowe, Pina, Paige Emerson and Maria Vanderwerf. For Suttons Bay, Jordan Smith and Dana Wessels teamed up to win the girl pole vault with 15 feet total. The Norse will hold regional competition Saturday and will travel to Buckley Wednesday for the Northwest Conference championship.

Clark impressive at Central Lake The Laker boys’ track team finished second in a field of 16 teams Monday at the Central Lake Invitational. Elliot Clark won all but one of the four events in which he competed. St. Ignace won the event. Clark edged out Onaway’s Adam Dess in the 100 at 12.05 to Dess’ 12.06. Clark was also first in the 200 with a time of 23.60. Dess was second in 23.81. The Laker 400 relay team, on which Clark is an anchor, won the even in 46.28. Other legs of the ran were run by Jason Sawyer, Carter Lee and Parker Kokowicz.

The only event in which Clark failed to prevail was the discus, a recently added event in his repertoire. Clark was sixth in the discus. Jason Sawyer, a senior, was fifth in long jump at Central Lake with a jump of 17’81/2”. In girls action, Glen Lake’s top finishers were the 400 relay team which placed sixth. The team is comprised of Angel Irish, Reagan Weston, Terry Famiano and Kayla Bamberg. The Lakers will travel to Brethren Saturday for regional competition. The Northwest Conference championship is set for Wednesday in Buckley.

Those who watched Suttons Bay halfback and safety Noah Reyhl help lead Suttons Bay to an undefeated regular season probably won’t have an opportunity to see him play at the next level. Reyhl considered taking his game to the Grand Valley State University gridiron. He attended the Grand Valley recruiting camp, had been in touch with coaches, and one coach attended a Suttons Bay game last fall. But Reyhl has decided to concentrate his efforts in the classrooms at Grand Valley, where he will study physical therapy. He’ll need to successfully complete seven years of studies and training to end with a doctorate degree. “My heart wasn’t 100 percent in it, and money wise there wasn’t going to be enough to entice me,” said Reyhl, who holds Norsemen records for most rushing yards in a season (1,522), touchdowns in a season (28) and touchdowns in a career (46). “I would have probably had to go as a preferred walk on.” It was a tough decision, Reyhl said, one he may look at again when football season approaches. Or maybe not. “It honestly is more than a job. It’s a commitment. But I admire their program...to be a part of that would be awesome. But it’s also a tough program for physical therapy, and that’s where I need to concentrate.” ••• Comet varsity boys’ basketball coach Jon Kiessel will host The Rock, basketball camp July 25-27 at Leland Public School. The 3-day camp will divide students into the following age groups and time slots: grades K-1, 9 to 10:15 a.m.; 2-3, 10:30 a.m. to noon; 4-6, 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. and 7-8, 2:45 to 4:45 p.m. Boys and girls are welcome to participate.

Cedar beefs up coverage

%P[E]W XLI YRMUYI ERH YRI\TIGXIH JSV ]IEVW

Fire department hires full-time EMT to fill â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;voidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Kelenski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good or bad, we should know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on â&#x20AC;Ś I support you and want to make this work.â&#x20AC;? Strand, who proposed the hiring in March, said the move would decrease response times for both EMT and fire calls during the 16-hour day and early evening period daily. Chief Petroskey agreed, saying that the 3-man crew would provide coverage during 40 of the 96 hours each weekend and â&#x20AC;&#x153;take pressureâ&#x20AC;? off volunteers on â&#x20AC;&#x153;stand byâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it would reduce your response time on weekends by 8 percent,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. The importance of the increase in staffing was highlighted by Johnson, who said if he were to be let go, that would reduce the number of EMTs available for the summer by a total of four. Strand, 68, works for the department all year long, but takes time off in the summer. Two more EMTS will not be in the area this summer. The 3-man rotation will begin as soon as Beady, whose state certification lapsed during his National Guard service, receives his new license. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I expect to get it at any time,â&#x20AC;? he said. The Cedar Department provides serve to Centerville and Solon Townships and is contracted to provide fire and ambulance service to Kasson and Cleveland townships. Although it has the largest coverage area in Leelanau, the department is the last remaining emergency response department in the county with only basic lifesaving certification. In other business during the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

first meeting of the 2011-2012 budget year, two sets of bids for a new ambaulance were opened. Petroskey said specifications were mailed to five different vendors. Two responded: McCoy Miller and LifeStar emergency medical services. McCoy Miller quoted the department a cost of $142,970 for an ambulance built on a Chevy chassis; $156,340 for one based on an International 2012 model. LifeStarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bid came in a little higher at $152,438 for the Chevy and $177,894 for the diesel International. A committee of Petroskey, Lautner and Kelenski along with members of the department, are scheduled to meet at 7 p.m. May 25 to review both packages and come up with a recommendation for the full board. A special meeting may be needed to act on the ambulance purchase as the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next regularly scheduled meeting isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until July 19.

The Cedar Fire Department is adding a third, paid staff person to improve response times. The fire board, comprised of the Centerville and Solon Township boards in their entirety, agreed Tuesday night to make emergency medical technician (EMT) Tim Johnson a full-time employee. The move, which has been under discussion since March, brings the number of full-time, paid staff members to three and is expected to eliminate current voids in EMT coverage. The decision was made after board members went line by line through its recently-adopted 2011-2012 budget to scrape together an additional $26,540 needed to increase the full-time staff from two to three. The additional funds needed will in part come from officer salaries ($5,000 and foregoing an update of Scott Air Packs ($2,000). Budget amendments were approved that will make it possible to Johnson and EMTs Herb Sudemann and Shaun Beady to work 16-hour shifts based from the firehall in Cedar. Johnson had been designated a â&#x20AC;&#x153;temporaryâ&#x20AC;? employe working in Beadyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position while he was on assignment with the Army National Guard. There had been talk of laying Johnson off after Beadyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return. However, retired physician Martin Strand III, who is an EMT paid volunteer with Cedar Fire and Rescue, sought retention of Johnson and implementation of the 3-man work rotation. In a March 12 letter to the fire board, Strand wrote that the current configura-

tion â&#x20AC;&#x201D; having a paid EMT designated â&#x20AC;&#x153;on callâ&#x20AC;? for 12-hour periods â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was not working. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has not worked, and has been abandoned by other EMS departments in Leelanau County,â&#x20AC;? the doctor wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This can be easily remedied by making the devision now to keep (Johnson) and add Beady as you have planned â&#x20AC;Ś and implement a new 16-hour per day shift schedule.â&#x20AC;? Fire board members took no action at their March meeting. However, they directed chief Dan Petroskey to show how the move could be accomplished within the budget. Initially there was discussion of tapping into the departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slim $35,000 fund balance. But that was quickly disregarded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not thrilled about taking money out of fund balance the first month of the budget year,â&#x20AC;? Solon supervisor Jim Lautner said. To date, two full-time EMTs have been at the hall to respond weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. with the remainder of time covered by paid volunteers. Recently, there has been some difficulty getting enough personnel to respond to calls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had some Priority 1 calls, like heartattacks, where it took 15 minutes to respond,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Dispatch) is having to go to third tones to get someone there.â&#x20AC;? Board members said they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t aware of the staffing difficulties and asked that department members communicate their needs more frequently. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see something in writing,â&#x20AC;?

The Leelanau County Board of Commissioners this week ratified a contract with one of three unions representing officers in the Leelanau County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department. The Police Officers Labor Council (POLC) represents corrections officers in the department. Last year, jail workers opted to split from the Police Officers Association of Michigan (POAM), which still represents law enforcement deputies in the department. Although the County Board ratified terms of a new contract with POAM last month, not all of the required signatures had been obtained on the contract as of this week, and it was not available for release to the public, according to county administrator Eric Cline. Similarly, exact terms of the POLC contract were expected to be released until final documents are signed. The Command Officers Association of Michigan (COAM), which is affiliated with POAM, represents sergeants in the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s department. Recently, the Teamsterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Union filed a petition to represent the sergeants, but that petition was withdrawn for reasons that are â&#x20AC;&#x153;unclear,â&#x20AC;? according to Cline. Earlier this year, the COAM filed a petition with the Michigan Employment Relations Commission (MERC) to dispute the status of law enforcement commander Ross Arena. COAM successfully argued that Arenaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relatively new position should be unionized similar to that of a newly-designated â&#x20AC;&#x153;jail commanderâ&#x20AC;? position which was unionized. Meanwhile, two court cases related to ongoing discord between Sheriff Mike Oltersdorf and a number of his deputies and sergeants continue â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but one appears to be nearing resolution. A settlement conference in a federal court lawsuit filed against the sheriff by five deputies in 2009 was slated to be held in August. Last week, attorneys in the case agreed to reschedule the settlement conference for June 28. Meanwhile a suit related to the 2009 firing of Sgt. James Kiessel â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who was returned to duty last week â&#x20AC;&#x201C; continues in the Michigan Court of Appeals. One of the issues in that case involves the question of whether a sheriff has the sole authority to confer or deny law enforcement powers on a deputy even if the sheriff is ordered to restore the deputy to duty by other authorities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as happened in Kiesselâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case. County prosecutor Joseph Hubbell ruled following a Veterans Preference Act hearing in Kiesselâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case that the

THE LEELANAU ENTERPRISE

Getting old Continued from Page 1 For white males, life expectancy is 75.7 years; for white females, 80.6. Closer to home, the Michigan Department of Community Health put life expectancy for Michigan females in 2009 at 80.1 years; males 75.4. In 2000, the figures were just 78.8 and 73.7 years, respectively. Between 1950 and 1990, life expectancy in the Great Lakes State increased from 65.7 to 71.8 for men and 71.2 to 78.1 for women. “People are living longer and many are healthier longer,” Schlueter said. He observes that the recent economic downturn has impacted the aging population. AAANM’s senior community employment program for those 55 and older has incurred an increase in participants. “Ironically, a lot of people who used to go south for the winter aren’t leaving because they can’t afford to,” Schlueter said. “They’re also telling young people to not come home.” Census figures bear Schlueter’s point out. In 2000, there were 5,623 people age 19 and under counted in Leelanau County, representing 26.6 percent of the total population of 21,119. By last year, the overall county population had grown to 21,708. However, the number of people 19-years-old and younger fell by 931 to 4,692, representing just 21.6 percent of the population. There was a 12.6 percent drop in the number of children under 5 years old counted in Leelanau County, falling from 1,075 in 2000 to 940 last year. The number of kids 5 to 9 fell by 24.7 percent over the same period—1,444 to 1,254. Low numbers among school-age children has put pressure on Leelanau’s school systems. Northport School Superintendent Jeff Tropf knows this all too well. Most recent Census figures indicate Leelanau Township, which comprises much of the county’s smallest school district, has among the fewest people through age 19 in the county. Of the township’s 2,027 residents,

only 14.7 percent are of school age. “It’s a really an interesting demographic,” said Tropf, whose wife, Margie, is also Northport’s kindergarten teacher. “Margie had only 7 kids at kindergarten roundup last spring and ended up with 18 in her class this fall.” Tropf said there are a number of infants and toddlers in the community who have recently moved into the district. Students are using the Leelanau Children’s Center in Northport, which is a good thing, according to Tropf. “Most studies show that kids end up going to school where they have day care or preschool,” he said. “It’s good to have the children’s center nearby.” “The days of one parent staying home until there child reaches kindergarten are no more,” said Suttons Bay Superintendent Mike Murray, who noted that 67 percent of families with school-age children have both parents working. “This makes preschool activity that much more important in preparing students for school.” Also significant was the drop in Leelanau County residents from 15 to 19 years of age — some 25.8 percent over the last decade. The population leveled off for Leelanau residents 20-24 years old, which increased from 741 to 791. But the number of Leelanau residents in the 25-34 age group — people who are usually establishing careers — fell 15.6 percent from 1,833 to 1,547. However, the biggest drop was among those age 35 to 44. In 2000, this group numbered 3,273 people on the Leelanau peninsula. By last year, this figure had fallen 35.2 percent to 2,121. It’s not until age 60 that population figures rebound. The number of residents between 55 and 59 numbered 1,248 in 2000. The same age group had grown 72 percent to 2,146 by last year. Those in the next age group, 60 to 64, jumped from 1,158 to 1,892. The number of residents 65-74 years of age, often about the time more services are needed to maintain lifestyles, increased from 2,124 to 2,730.

Census notables Continued from Page 1 Chippewa Reservation, and counts 494 of its residents as American Indian. They represent 16.5 percent of the township’s population. Whites comprise 76 percent. • Meanwhile, Kasson and Empire townships were the most homogenous with “white” people making up 98 percent of the population overall. • Glen Arbor is the “oldest” township in the county with a median age of 60.9, up from 53.1 10 years ago. More than half the township’s population of 859 is 60 or older, according to the Census. The largest growth among those 60 and older was in the subset of those 60-64, which jumped 61.8 percent from 68 to 110 in the 10-year period. • Leelanau Township has the second “grayest” population in the county with a

median age of 58. The median age in the township in 2000 was 10 years younger. In the heart of the county, Centerville Township had the highest rate of growth over the 10 years at 16.3 percent. The township population increased from 1,095 residents to 1,274. Centerville also had the “youngest” population with the highest percentage of people through age 19 in the county at 24.5 percent. Suttons Bay Township had the second “youngest” population with 24.1 percent of its 2,982 residents identifying themselves as 19 or younger. As occurred through much of America, the biggest growth segment occurred among people identifying themselves as Hispanic. The Census turned up 794 Hispanci residents, up 14.4 percent and 100 people from the 2000 count.

Section 1, Page 15 LEADERS ATTENDING the joint meeting of the GTB Tribal Council and the Leelanau County board were, from left, county commissioners Richard Schmuckal and James Schaub Sr., tribal councilors Brian Napont, George Antoine and Jane Rohl, county board chairman Tom Van Pelt, county commissioner Jean Watkoski, tribal chairman Derek Bailey, county commissioner David Shiflett, tribal councilor Robert Kewaygoshkum, and county administrator Eric Cline.

Leelanau needs a ‘brand’ Continued from Page 1 Members of the two bodies also discussed their common interests in making wireless broadband Internet service more widely available in Leelanau County. District No. 5 county commissioner David “Chauncey” Shiflett characterized the county’s “broadband” initiative as an obvious way the county and tribal governments could collaborate more closely. District No. 2 county commissioner James A. Schaub Sr. noted that the Michigan Governor Rick Snyder had been encouraging various units of government in the state to collaborate more closely, and intended to establish economic incentives encouraging such collaboration – something the tribal and county governments might both

benefit from. Tribal Councilor Brian Napont, who also serves on the tribe’s Economic Development Corporation board, said he was proud that the tribe had been able to keep employees despite a sharp downturn in the state and national economy. “The last few years have been difficult times for public officials,” Napont noted, citing the need to “downsize” government spending and tighten budgets for economic development efforts. Also in attendance at the meeting were tribal councilors George Antoine, Robert Kewaygoshkum and Jane Rohl. Tribal Councilor David Arroyo also put in an appearance. Tribal Councilor Sandra Witherspoon had an out-of-

town commitment. County board chairman and District No. 4 commissioner Tom Van Pelt, District No. 1 commissioner Jean Watkoski and District No. 6 commissioner Richard A. Scmuckal were also in attendance. District No. 7 commissioner Melinda Lautner and District No.6 commissioner David G. Marshall were absent. In addition, Leelanau County administrator Eric Cline and GTB tribal manager Sonya Zotigh attended the meeting, and agreed to begin holding regular meetings of their own. No date was set for another joint meeting of the GTB Tribal Council and the Leelanau County Board of Commissioners.

GTB weathers economic downturn At a joint meeting Tuesday of the Tribal Council of the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians and the Leelanau County Board of Commissioners, tribal officials provided a statistical update on the tribe’s finances and operations. The tribe’s enterprises, operated through its Economic Development Corporation (EDC), appeared to have weathered the nationwide economic recession that began in 2008 by showing modest increases in revenues and jobs between 2005 and 2010. The tribe’s total gross revenues in 2005 were $115,413,035 and increased by around one-percent to $116,157,229 in 2010. Total employment by the tribe’s EDC increased by about seven percent, from 820 in 2005 to 882 in 2010. Most of the economic growth was associated with the tribe’s enterprises in Grand Traverse County. Revenues from the Turtle Creek Casino in Grand Traverse County increased from $92 million in 2005 to $93 million in 2010, while revenues at the Leelanau Sands Casino in Peshawbestown dropped from $18 million to $17 million between 2005 and 2010. The tribal government, meanwhile, has been forced to tighten its belt. The GTB government in 2005 spent $51 million. By 2010, however, the tribal government’s expenditures had been reduced

to $40 million. The Leelanau County government budget in 2010, in comparison, called for expenditures of just $10.6 million. Between 2005 and 2010, the tribe also increased its land holdings within its sixcounty service area, from 2,369 acres to 2,506 acres. Most of the tribally-owned land is in Grand Traverse County where the tribe owns 1,202 acres. Only 172

acres of that amount, however, has been taken into trust for the tribe and is tax exempt. In Leelanau County, the tribe now owns 838 acres of land, 616 acres of which are held in trust for the tribe by the federal government. In 2005, the tribe owned 734 acres of land in Leelanau County, of which 482 acres were held in trust.

No change likely on commission Continued from Page 1 decade since 1970. Prior to 1970, state law called for Michigan counties to be governed by a Board of Supervisors, which in Leelanau consisted of the supervisors of each of the county’s 11 townships. Under current state law, a county the size of Leelanau could have between 5 and 15 commissioners. The law requires that county commission districts be drawn so that each district is represented equally with fluctuations of no more than 11.9 percent of the population from district to district. That makes it difficult to keep county commission districts in line with township boundaries which is one of the other goals of reapportionment. Keeping township lines and county commissioner districts aligned can reduce the complexity and cost of conducting elections in which voters residing in different parts of the same township must receive different ballots. By law the county Apportionment Commission is comprised of the county

clerk, treasurer and prosecutor, as well as heads of the county’s Republican and Democratic parties. Those five individuals have been meeting since county-level Census data for 2010 became available in April. County clerk Michelle Crocker, who chairs the commission, said the Apportionment Commission is now focusing its efforts on how to draw lines between seven districts. What is driving a discussion about where to draw the lines is a population increase in Elmwood Township at the southern end of the county and a population decrease in Leelanau Township at the northern end of the county. “The population in Elmwood is high enough now that there’s almost no way to keep the township all in one district no matter how you configure them without splitting the township,” Crocker said. Under the current arrangement, Elmwood is already split between District No. 1 and District No. 2. A population increase will shift the line

dividing the two districts southward – but exactly how far south has yet to be determined, she said. Meanwhile, District No. 4 at the northern end of the county will grow geographically to encompass more of neighboring Suttons Bay Township at its southern end. The boundaries of District No. 3 must also shift to accommodate that change, encompassing portions of Suttons Bay and Bingham townships. “It’s just the four townships running north and south on the eastern side of the county that get split up with a seven district plan,” Crocker explained. The remainder of the townships would be represented on the County Board as they have been for the past 10 years, she said. District No. 5 encompasses Leland and Centerville Township; District No. 6 encompasses Cleveland, Empire and Glen Arbor Townships; and District No. 7 encompasses Solon and Kasson Townships. “I think we’re close to making a final

decision, but really need to take a very close look at the maps again before we do,” said Crocker. Crocker credited senior planner Kristin Smith of the Leelanau County Planning and Community Development department for attending Apportionment Commission meetings and utilizing a computerized mapping system to help members see where lines might be drawn between county board districts based on population. Leelanau County Republican Party chair Eric Lind of Suttons Bay said that he and Leelanau County Democratic Party chair Betsy Johnson of Empire have been working well together on theApportionment Commission, and generally agree on how the county should be reapportioned. “There was a lot of talk early on of reducing the number of commissioner districts from seven to five in an effort to save money,” Lind said. “But it’s clear that you don’t save very much money by doing that; and dividing the county up into five districts seems to result in too

many more townships being chopped up – nearly all of them, in fact, except Elmwood. A five-district plan seems to make things very complicated for everyone else.” At the same time, Lind added, members of the commission have been shying away from a plan calling for six commissioners even though that number would be allowed by law. “People just don’t like the idea of having an even number of commissioners on the board because of the possibility of tie votes bogging things down,” Lind said. “And more than seven commissioners seems unnecessary because our population hasn’t increased that much, and too many commissioners could bog things down as well.” The Apportionment Commission was scheduled to hold at least two more public meetings before finalizing its plan and submitting it to the State of Michigan for final approval. Meetings have been slated for Monday, May 23, at 1:30 p.m., and Thursday, May 26 at 1:30 p.m.

LEELANAU COUNTY seems abuzz with flowers, including squirrel corn (left), jack-inthe-pulpit (right), and a bright-white grouping of trilliums growing in a raspberry patch in Kasson Township. -Top photos by Jenny Munten

Flowers gone wild By Carol Thompson Enterprise Intern

The cold weather this spring may not please many Leelanau County residents, but it’s been great for trillium, Michigan’s state flower. “The trillium are just sensational,” Patty Shea, from the Leelanau Conservency, said. “They love this cool weather.” Shea heads the conservancy’s Wildflower Rescue Team, which gathers woodland wildflowers from development sites and sells them each Memorial weekend at Village Green in Leland. Development is the biggest threat to the area’s wildflowers, Shea said, although deer also have an impact. Before land is excavated for a building project, the Wildflower Rescue Team uproots the native wildflowers and saves them for replanting. The rescue team focuses on woodland wildflowers because they’re slow growing. Trillium can take seven years to bloom, which could deter many gardeners from planting it. By rescuing and selling mature plants, the Wildflower Rescue Team makes planting woodland wildflowers easier and more rewarding. Shea said planting a wildflower garden is a great way for anybody to help protect wildflowers. And aside from keeping deer from eating the flowers, it’s a low-maintenance garden to keep. Shea’s garden is also an educational tool and she uses it to teach her grandchildren to identify the wildflowers that grow in Leelanau County. Another way to encourage wildflower growth is to avoid planting ground cover plants like ivy and myrtle that compete with wildflowers, said

Judy Hoeffler, a docent at the Leelanau Conservancy and president of By The Bay Garden Club of Suttons Bay. “Eventually, they will snap out the trillium at nature’s finest hour,” Hoeffler said. Hoeffler spends a lot of time walking through Leelanau Conservancy properties, and said now is a great time for people to see wildflowers. “Trillium are in full force right now and people can see them as they drive through any of the roads and look into the woods,” Hoeffler said. “The white Trillium are just gorgeous.” Other wildflowers now beautifully adorned in Leelanau County include hepatica, a small plant with light purple flowers; blue cohash, a tall plant with purplish flowers and blue berries; jackin-the-pulpit, which has a hooded striped flower and a cluster red berries; and Dutchman’s breeches, a plant with white, waxy hanging flowers. Hoeffler encourages people to appreciate a native flower that’s more commonly thought of as a nuisance: the dandelion. Dandelions are native, natural flowers that can be used to make wine or put in salads. But ultimately, trillium is Hoeffler’s favorite wildflower. It grows in the woods around her house, and to her is a celebration of spring. “It’s just so beautiful how it comes back every year,” Hoeffler said. “It’s really a gift of northern Michigan.” Both Shea and Hoeffler encourage people to appreciate the area’s wildflowers. “We’re very blessed with these gorgeous plants,” Shea said. “You may think they’re everywhere, but they’re not. It’s just part of the beauty of Leelanau County.”

Tarts near peak bloom Cherry crop has avoided damage so far By Amy Hubbell Of The Enterprise staff

RESEARCHER ERIN LIZOTTE surveys a cherry orchard treated to produce fewer blossoms, and larger cherries.

The latest full bloom date for red tart cherries in at least 15 years is expected to occur this weekend. Nikki Rothwell, director of the Northwest Michigan Horticultural Research Station, said Monday she anticipates tart cherries to be in full bloom by Friday. “It seems really late,” said Rothwell, who was in the orchard this week counting sweet cherry blossoms. “We were done for three weeks this time last year.” Rothwell estimated that based on published weather forecasts, which call for a gradual warm-up reaching a high near 70 by Saturday, she expects red tarts to be in full bloom. “I’ve heard from some people getting married this weekend and they’re thrilled about the blossoms,” Rothwell said. According to data collected at the research station, the May 20 full bloom date for Montmorency (red tart) cherries, is the latest in the past 15 years. The late bloom comes on the heels of an unprecedented early blossom

development last year. The 2010 growing season will indeed go down in history as one of the more unusual in terms of fruit development. Early sweet varieties like Napoleans and Golds had reached full bloom by April 21 and 26, respectively. The 28-year average for those two varieties, according to the research station, are May 6 and 9, respectively; the next earliest full-bloom dates for for Napoleans and Golds were April 24, 1987. Balaton, a dark tart variety followed nearly a week later with blossoms reaching their peak by April 26. Tarts were in full bloom by April 28, two weeks before the average blossom date of May 12. The hastened development resulted in the cancellation of the third annual Leelanau Blossom Tour, sponsored and organized in part by the Enterprise. Busy schedules kept the Leelanau Conservancy, Leelanau Conservation District and Enterprise from putting on a 2011 tour, and no other organizations expressed an interest in organizing one. The early onset of blossoms also made for an unprecedented early har-

vest with most growers wrapping things up before the end of July. Records show that the latest blossom dates for tarts since 1983 were May 23, 1996; and May 28, 1997, respectively. “A slow spring is always good because it reduces the likelihood of frost damage,” Rothwell said. The early warm-up in Leelanau County just last year caused cherry trees to blossom early – troubling for some cherry farmers, but not as devastating as the 2002 event. That year, despite the fact that full bloom was five days later than the May 12 average on May 17, unseasonably cool weather and cold winds resulted in the year “without cherries.” Michigan, the state that produces the most red tart cherries in the country, harvested just 15 million pounds in 2002. A typical harvest is more like 200 million pounds. The annual date of the latest occurrence of 32 degrees or below in Leelanau County is between May 10 and 20. If that’s the case, county growers may have nothing to worry about in terms of frost. (Concluded on Page 20)

More than 120 members and guests of the Leelanau County Republican Party heard Michiganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second-youngest lieutenant governor speak for more than a half hour Saturday at the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Lincoln Day Dinner. Brian Calley, who is 34-years-old with 12 years of experience in the banking industry, explained the administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan to begin paying off Michiganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-term debt, and elimination of double taxation of small businesses, according to Republican Party member Wilma McQueen. The event was hosted by Visions catering in the upper level of the Centerpointe building in Greilickville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an entertaining speaker, and he put forth all of this information with no notes,â&#x20AC;? said McQueen of

Calley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even have a transcript of it, because I asked for one.â&#x20AC;? Calley was introduced by State Sen. Darwin Booher (R-Evart), whose district includes Leelanau County. Booher was also a banker by trade before being elected first to the state House of Representatives, and last fall to the state Senate. State Rep. Ray Franz could not attend, McQueen said, as he was viewing his grandchildâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s graduation from Hillsdale College. The meeting was also notable in that Mary Bowen was announced as recipient of the Gold Elephant award for her outstanding service to the Republican Party. She joins previous awardees Bill Kroeger (2010), Joan Jackson (2009) and McQueen (2008). County party chair Eric Lind served as master of ceremonies.

The slight surge in building activity reported two weeks ago has ended abruptly. Only four new building permits have been added to a file available for public perusal at the Leelanau County Construction Code Authority office over the latest two-week reporting period. The four new permits brought the total number of building permits issued so far this year to 73. That total is down 26 percent from the same time last year. And it’s down 22 percent from the same time in 2009 that ended up being the worst year on record for construction activity in Leelanau County. The four new building permits were for projects with a combined estimated construction value of $426,379. Much of that was attributable to one new home project, noted below. The four new projects brought the year-to-date value estimate to $5,551,555. Although that figure is up about seven percent from the figure recorded by this time in 2010, it is down 39 percent from the figure recorded by this time in 2009 which was, again, the worst year on record. Following is a list of projects for which permits have been issued, listed by the community in which the work is being done: BINGHAM: M. Lawrence L.L.C. (Seeco Contracting), one-story commercial addition for wine tasting at 4519 S. Elm Valley Rd., $59,699; Mark and Charlotte Aigner (MAC Custom Homes), two-story single family residence on basement with attached garage, covered porches and deck, at 5594 S. Spyglass Ridge Dr., $354,280; Jonathan B. Milbourn (Maple Hill Builders), covered porch addition to single family residence at 2634 S. Sandy Ridge Rd., $2,320. GLEN ARBOR: Scott C. and Jean H. Jenkins (Heart Homes), screened porch addition to single family residence at 2890 S. Port Oneida Rd., $10,080.

• Discussed plans to dispose of township-owned picnic tables and other items at the township’s Boughey Park on the West Grand Traverse Bay waterfront. Some items historically belonged to Traverse City State Hospital that formerly owned and used the waterfront site for patient outings. Ard planned to look into whether selling the items at the Ice Cream Social would be legally permissible, with proceeds dedicated toward future Bingham Township Parks and Recreation projects. • Heard from Michigan Municipal Underwriters insurance agent Paul Olson who outlined an updated policy for the township that provides $2 million in general liability coverage. Olson said that last year’s premium of $13,528 had been reduced slightly to $13,339, but he expected the premium could be reduced even more next year if the township stays out of legal trouble. A spate of lawsuits filed several years ago against the township, primarily over zoning disputes, resulted in increased legal fees and higher insurance premiums for the township. Olson explained that if no more lawsuits are filed in which damages are claimed, insurance premiums could drop substantially in coming years for the township.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Cymbalta (duloxetine hydrochloride) to treat chronic musculoskeletal pain, including discomfort from osteoarthritis and chronic lower back pain. Cymbalta was first used to treat major depressive disorder and diabetic peripheral neuropathy in 2004; generalized anxiety disorder and maintenance treatment of major depression in 2007; and fibromyalgia in 2008. Up to three quarters of the population experience chronic pain at some time in their lives. This approval means that many of those people now have another treatment option. *** Cymbalta was also effective at reducing joint and muscle pain associated with a breast cancer treatment, according to a study presented at the Breast Cancer Symposium. The women in the study were taking aromatase inhibitors, a type of drug designed to block the production of estrogen, which fuels some breast cancers. About half of women taking these drugs experience aches and pains in their joints and muscles that cannot be adequately relieved by over-thecounter painkillers. Up to 20 percent of these women will stop taking an aromatase inhibitor because of this pain. *** Rasagaline, a drug prescribed for Parkinson’s disease may also treat restless leg syndrome without the adverse side effects of current therapies, Medical College of Georgia researchers say. *** Use of low-dose aspirin prior to a newer type of fecal occult blood test is associated with a higher sensitivity for detecting advanced colorectal tumors, compared to no aspirin use, according to a study in JAMA. *** Brought to you as a public service by

that will be incorporated into an updated draft prior to next month’s budget hearing. The draft under discussion anticipated $361,848 in revenues and $378,332 in expenditures – a deficit of some $16,984. Township supervisor Ross Ard said additional efforts would be made to reduce the deficit, but that the previous board had amassed a substantial fund balance that will easily cover the deficit. At last month’s meeting, the township board adopted salary resolutions calling for no pay raises for any elected officials. At the June 11 Annual Meeting, voters in attendance will decide whether to approve the salary resolutions or award pay raises to officials. The township board is proposing that pay remain steady at $15,000 per year for the supervisor, $22,341 for the clerk, $23,050 for the treasurer, and $1,532.50 for each of the two trustees. The Bingham Township Annual Meeting will start at 10 a.m. on Saturday, June 11, with a formal budget hearing held immediately following. The budget will be considered for adoption at the township board’s next regular monthly meeting on June 20. Township officials also noted that the second annual Bingham Township Ice Cream Social will be held immediately following the Annual Meeting and budget hearing. A group of volunteers has been organizing the event all spring. The Ice Cream Social will be held at the Bingham Township Park, located off County Road 641 (South Lake Leelanau Drive), on Park Road, on the South Lake Leelanau waterfront. The event will include free ice cream sundaes, a silent auction, games for children, and other attractions. In other business at this week’s meeting, the Bingham Township Board:

additional discussions with Road Commission officials about the project, but expected the township’s cost-share of the improvements to total around $30,000. • Discussed a need to add topsoil to the township’s “ice rink park” at Lincoln and Broadway streets in the Village of Suttons Bay. A farmer’s market that has been held on the site for a number of years will be held at the village’s waterfront North Park at the end of M-204 (Race Street) this spring and summer. • Agreed to modify a township policy for board member and township employee reimbursement for use of their private automobiles for official business. The reimbursement is to be consistent with federal Internal Revenue Service guidelines that authorize payment of 51 cents per mile. • Renewed a contract with tax assessor Kit Wilson and her company for three years at a cost of $46,400 per year to maintain assessing rolls of private property. The rolls serve as the basis for property tax bills. The assessing contract represents a $600 annual increase over the current contract, and includes increases in coming years consistent with the Consumer Price Index but capped at five percent.

Suttons Bay Township is moving forward on plans to develop Herman Park at the corner of County Road 633 (Center Highway) and Herman Road just south of Suttons Bay Public Schools. On Friday, members of the township Parks and Recreation Committee met to review preliminary drawings of “active recreation” facilities the township hopes to build on the northern 20 acres of the 126-acre park. They include tennis courts, a pavilion and soccer fields. The southern portion of the park will remain a natural area available for “passive” recreation including hiking and wildlife viewing. Suttons Bay Township Board trustee Bill Drozdalski, who serves on the Parks and Recreation Committee, said final changes are being made to drawings that he expects to distribute this week to contractors who may be interested in bidding to develop the park facilities. Contractors will have several weeks to review plans before submitting bids on the project. At its regular monthly meeting last Wednesday, May 11, the township board authorized supervisor Rich Bahle to sign a contract with the Gosling-

Czubak engineering firm of Traverse City to help oversee construction of the park once a contractor begins work. The board authorized a previouslybudgeted expenditure of up to $10,000 for that service. Township officials estimate that the first phase of the project will cost some $500,000, of which some $225,000 has already been raised through private donations. A private fundraising campaign has been underway for more than a year and will continue through this summer, officials said. The township acquired the 126-acre park property from the family of the late Ralph Herman three years ago for $555,000, of which $273,000 was covered by a Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund grant. Other grant funding as well as private donations covered the remainder of the cost. In addition, the Leelanau County Brownfield Redevelopment Authority has applied state and federal grant funding to testing and clean up of parts of the property that were formerly used as an automotive service station. In other business at its meeting last week, the Suttons Bay Township Board: • Discussed plans to work with the county Road Commission to re-pave portions of Herman Road and Broadway Street.

aftermath and repairing the culvert. “There was a whole bunch of dirt. The guys said they removed about 70 yards of material,” Cradduck said. No other major problems were reported, he added. “The rain was real spotty. There were some ruts along shoulders and on dirt roads, but nothing even remotely like what happened up on Johnson Road,” Cradduck said. Elizabeth Munro said despite the mess and damage done to her yard and pool area, she is thankful it was not worse and that no one was injured. “Getting the pool cleaned up will be a task.

In other business during the regular monthly session, the board voted unanimously to collect summer taxes for the Traverse Bay Area Intermediate School District (TBAISD) in conjunction with those collected for the Leland School District. Kelenski said the collection is performed at the same time as the Leland school tax collection. The township receives $2.50 per parcel from the Leland District. No additional revenue is received for the ISD collection. However, a separate resolution must be approved by the board, the supervisor said.

Contracts in anticipation of warmer weather were adopted last week by the Centerville Township Board. The board voted May 11 to hire Brian Booth to perform lawn maintenance at the township hall and park at a season rate of $1,800. “It’s a couple hundred higher than it was last year, but gas is that much more expensive,” Supervisor Leonard Kelenski said. In exchange for the lump sum, Booth agreed to install a dock at the township park and cut grass at the hall and township park at the east end of Hohnke Road twice a month. Booth’s bid was one of two received, Kelenski said. However, it was the only “complete” bid submitted. The board also accepted a bid of $144

Elizabeth Munro of Leelanau Township can trace the roots of her peonies back to Ireland. She looked over her front yard last week and wondered if her cherished peonies, a perennial flower, survived. “My great-grandfather was a gardener. He brought over some peonies from Ireland, wrapped in peat moss, when he came to America,” Munro said. A washout apparently caused more from a clogged storm pipe than steady rain that fell last Wednesday night and Thursday morning, May 11-12, had wiped out much of her front yard where the peonies had thrived. Munroe’s great-grandfather replanted his Irish peonies at his house in Indiana. Her mother took some cuttings from those original flowers and planted them at her home in Detroit, where Munro grew up. When she and her husband bought their 13-acre property on Johnson Road in Leelanau Township, Munro, whose maiden name is Rice, brought some cuttings north. On Thursday morning, all that was left of the peonies were some stalks in mud. “I have to get my mudders on and see if there is something I can save from the peonies,” she said. Although there was a steady rain around most of the Leelanau County, the heaviest rains were reported farther south. Nick Schwartz. a meteorologist with National Weather Service office near Gaylord, said areas within Benzie and Manistee counties received from two to four inches. Through Monday, May 16, only .97 inches had been recorded at the weather station in Maple City, below a pace needed to reach the May average of 2.67 inches. “In Leelanau County, a weather spotter about five miles south, southwest of

Northport recorded 0.85 inches from 8 a.m. Wednesday to 8 a.m. Thursday,” he said. The washout may have been caused in part from a field recently replanted with cherry tries on a hill above the Munro property. Roderick Munro, Elizabeth’s husband, said the young plantings weren’t enough to stop the erosion that occurred. County Road Commission manager/ superintendent Herb Cradduck said as water and dirt ran down the hill, debris clogged up a drainage pipe that runs under Johnson Road by Munro’s house. “The culvert got filled up and caused the water and mud to run across the road,” he said. A work crew from the Road Commission were busy Wednesday afternoon and Thursday cleaning up the

In other business during the 3-hour meeting the board: • Met in closed session for 40 minutes to discuss ongoing negotiations with the Glen Lake Federation of Teachers. The district’s current contract with the federation expires in August. • Recommended approval of the Intermediate School District’s $6.9 million general education budget. • Designated President Jeff Smith as its proxy in the ISD board election; Trustee Ross Hazelton, alternate. • Approved a 25-cent-increase in hot lunch prices bringing the cost to $2 for elementary students; $2.25 for secondary. It was the first increase in price in four years.

past negotiations. The board voted 6-0, with Trustee Jennifer Omerza absent, to not support the move. The resolution was one of three prepared by superintendents and board presidents of the 16 member schools of the Traverse Bay Area Intermediate School District. All districts within the ISD were to consider action on the documents after which representatives of the Thrun law firm were to send letters to legislators including the positions of the rural northern Michigan schools. A second resolution, against Gov. Rick Snyder’s proposal to designate $900 million from the state school aid fund for higher education. This proposal was approved 6-0. However, a third resolution, supporting a $13,000-cap on employee health benefits deadlocked 3-3.

Northport considers limiting transfers in state per-pupil funding. Since we are out of formula, when a student transfers here from out of the district, that student’s foundation grant funding does not come with them,” Tropf said. Northport may follow the example set by Glen Lake Community Schools, which has a policy allowing the district to turn down out-of-district transfers should enrollment grow too large. “If we have too many students transfer here at one time, we have to hire teachers and assume more costs when we have no more revenue coming in,” Tropf said. In a related matter, Tropf said he and

business manager Karen Hammersley are preparing to assemble the 2011-12 school year budget. “We are just beginning the process and will have something to present to the public by next month’s regular meeting,” Tropf said. In other business, the board voted 5-0 to approve: • The Traverse Bay Area Intermediate School District’s 2011-12 general fund budget. Tropf said there was no discussion on the subject. The budget projects revenues of $6.99 million for next year, down 8 percent from $7.6 million. The budget calls for $6 million in expenditures, up 3.4 percent from $5.8 million. • A Cherryland Conference Constitution with revisions to the by-laws. Tropf said the by-laws had not been changed since Leland and Buckley left the Cherryland to join the Northwest Conference. “All the changes did was remove any reference to those two schools. Everything else stayed the same,” he said. • The graduating class of 2011. Graduating will be Armando Barrientoz, Christopher Blessing, Joe Brendel, Jamie Bressette, Duane Dodge, Elizabeth Gasco, Brandon Heckl, Alan Holt, Angelia Keller, Anna Posey, Maria Roman, Victoria Roman, Catherine Stenberg, and Emily Stowe. The graduation ceremony will be held on June 3 at 7 p.m. in the Northport small gym. The ceremony is open to the public. • The board heard senior project presentations from Ida Tyldum, a junior who is doing her senior project early so she can become a foreign exchange student next year, and Holt. Tyldum’s project is on foreign exchange students. Holt’s was on the relationship between school and athletics; he restored outside basketball courts on school grounds as the physical portion of his project. • The board also recognized the 16 students who were included in the 2011 Exposures student art magazine. • Briefly discussed topics to be covered at its work session meeting scheduled for Monday at 7 p.m.

A trio of resolutions addressing issues under discussion in Lansing were acted upon this week by the Glen Lake Board of Education. The board voted unanimously to not support House Bill 4152 which would freeze wages and benefits for teachers upon expiration of a collective bargaining agreement and require employees to pay for the increased costs of maintaining benefits until an agreement is reached. In a phone interview following Monday’s rescheduled monthly meeting, Superintendent Joan Groening explained the decision. “We’re concerned about our district being able to build and maintain constructive communications with our staff,” Groening said, adding that the board’s relationship with its teachers, organized through the Michigan Federation of Teachers, has been good during

Intermediate district hoarding funds, trustees say By Amy Hubbell Of The Enterprise staff

Frustration with the limited oversight given local school districts of the Travese Bay Intermediate School district was voiced this week in Leland. The Leland Board of Education Monday discussed at length the proposed 2011-2012 general fund budget, one of three prepared each year by the Traverse Bay Area Intermediate School District. The board took no action to endorse or oppose the spending plan, traditionally the lowest of three budgets adopted by the ISD. The proposed spending plan includes revenue of $6.99 million, down from $7.6 million this year. Expenses total just over $6 million, up from $5.8 million during the 20102011 year. The ISD anticipates a fund balance of $2,749,031. Meanwhile, Leland trustees are working on a budget that may draw down the district’s fund balance to as low as 3 percent and pink slips up to six teachers for the 2011-2012 school year which begins July 1. But the conversation at Monday’s monthly meeting was less about specifics of the ISD budget and more about the process used to oversee the Intermediate district’s finances. “It’s a farce to only look at the general fund budget,” said Trustee Rink Wheeler, a longtime critic of the ISD. “Between the fund balances in all three budgets they probably have $15 million in cash and still refuse to give direct financial assistance to local schools … They’ve reduced their fund balance, but it’s still bad, in my opinion.” Leland’s Board of Education has traditionally been the only district in the 16-school ISD to vote down the general fund.

‘Between the fund ‘balances in all three budgets they probably have $15 million in cash and still refuse to give direct financial assistance to local schools...’

’

Leland School Board trustee Rink Wheeler According to Wheeler, who has corresponded with the state Department of Education on the issue, it is up to local districts served by the ISD to oversee the organization by acting on the general fund. “But that only amounts to 15 percent of the ISD’s expenses,” Wheeler said. “It’s a total farce.” Trustee Alan Hartwick was also left scratching his head. “It makes no sense. We are given the proposed budget before the beginning of the new school year and don’t hear from them again until the next year,” Hartwick said. “Which leads me to believe, it makes no difference whether we approve it or not. “I’m tired of saying ‘no’, but there’s absolutely no value in saying ‘yes’,” he said. Board President Bill Robinson agreed. “(The fund balance) is supposed to be a rainy day fund,” he said. “It’s raining.”

Superintendent Jason Stowe stepped in. “Pouring.” In other business during the 1 1/4hour regular session, the board discussed state budget talks that include cuts in per pupil foundation allowance ranging from $250 to $470. On the upside, Stowe said the proposed 2011-12 state budget is expected to be finalized by the end of May. Previous budgets were adopted well after schools began their fiscal years, making it difficult for schools to determine what their revenue would be without state definition. Meanwhile, a $500 million surplus has been identified in the school aid fund. Gov. Rick Snyder has indicated a portion of the money will be taken from K-12 education and given to community colleges and universities, according to the discussion “We’ve spent a long time talking about this… and if they’d leave K-12 funding alone, we wouldn’t be seeing any cuts,” Stowe said.

Athletes upset at loss of girls’ basketball coach be in female coaches as well,” Baker said. Meanwhile, Scott implored the board to take action rather than procrastinate. “…How do you expect to build a great program for the future of Leland girls’ basketball with this sort of inconsistency in coaches,” Scott asked. “Will it be another 126 days until our new head coach is hired? In 126 days, it will be Sept. 19th. This will mean countless open gym opportunities lost, small group instruction time lost and summer competition lost.” Board members thanked the audience members for their input. No action was taken on the non-renewal of McKee’s contract. Any action on the matter will likely take place at the board’s June meeting, Stowe said.

Members of the Leland girls’ basketball team turned out this week to support the retention of coach Rebecca McKee for the 2011-2012 season. Isabelle Scott, a sophomore, presented the Board of Education with a letter at Monday’s monthly meeting asking that McKee be retained for the upcoming season. The letter stated that over the past three years there have been three different coaches for Leland girls basketball. Coach Kevin Pershinske resigned on Jan. 11, 2010, and remains as a teacher at Leland. Temporary coaches Jason Stowe, now the District superintendent, and Ryan Knudson, now the coach at Traverse City Central, followed. “One-hundred twenty-six days elapsed before Leland found a ‘permanent replacement’ in Rebeccca McKee on May 17, 2010,” Scott said. “Now that ‘permanent replacement’ is to be cast aside in favor of yet another change. Where does that leave the Leland girls basketball players?” Stowe confirmed that athletic director/ principal Charlie Gann, after conducting end-of-the-season evaluations, has recommended not to renew McKee’s contract. Tantzi Snyder, another basketball player, showed up to protest another coaching change. “I have one year left. I’ve had enough coaching changes. I just want a good year,” Snyder said. The Comets were winless in the 2010 campaign. Parents were also present to support McKee. “Rebecca was tough, but fair,” said Iliana Snyder, Tantzi’s mother. “She was demanding, but praised them when they did a good job. She developed a rapport with the girls … made a connection.” Ann Baker, whose daughter had planned on playing under McKee next fall, also expressed concern about the coaching change. “Rebecca seems to have qualities praised in male coaches … they should

Medical marijuana meeting brings out planners, users

Elmwood is first to approve ordinance regulating marijuana However, Kelly said talks between Plamondon and township attorney Jim Young have been fruitful, and resulted in Plamondon agreeing to provisions within the ordinance. Specifically, the ordinance: â&#x20AC;˘ Limits facilities to commercial zoning districts; â&#x20AC;˘ Creates two types of medical marijuana businesses. Marijuana may be sold and stored at â&#x20AC;&#x153;collectivesâ&#x20AC;? allowed in C-1 and C-2 Districts; it may be grown at a â&#x20AC;&#x153;cultivation facilityâ&#x20AC;? in the C-4 district. â&#x20AC;˘ Both types of marijuana businesses must be at least 1,000 feet away from schools. â&#x20AC;˘ Collectives may only be open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., and must be at least 1,000 feet from each other. Marijuana may not be used onsite. Copies of the ordinance are available at the township office. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by Alan Campbell

problem coming up with a solution, then enacting a moratorium is a good idea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But, those governments also need to gather information and work on the problem right away, not shove it off the side,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. Leelanau, Leland and Empire townships have all enacted six-month moratoriums on issuing land use permits related to a medical marijuana dispensary or use. These moratoriums are designed to give their respective township Planning Commissions time to come up with zoning language to regulate where, or if, a medical marijuana dispensary may go. Ed Reinsch is a trustee on the Leelanau Township Board and is the board representative on the planning commission. The township enacted its six-month moratorium in April. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to decide how we want to proceed. No matter what we do, we want our attorney and our planner to come up with the draft language, rather than have us stumble around and try to find the right words,â&#x20AC;? Reinsch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is all very new territory for us,â&#x20AC;? he said. The population centers of Leelanau, Empire and Suttons Bay townships are incorporated villages that have their own zoning ordinances. Reinsch said the best place for a medical marijuana facility in Leelanau Township would likely be within the Village of Northport. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But, we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t place it there as a township because they have their own zoning,â&#x20AC;? he said. Reinsch said the majority of property in the township is zoned for agricultural and residential uses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we go strictly by commercial or industrial uses, that puts it around Omena, â&#x20AC;&#x153; he said. Empire Township enacted a sixmonth moratorium in March. Its Planning Commission is starting to look at draft language. Carl Noonan, Township Board representative on the commission, appreciated the opportunity to attend the workshop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is

it reviewed by the county Planning Commission, then have the Village Council consider it for approval. We would rather spend that time working on a zoning ordinance amendment that addresses the issue,â&#x20AC;? she said. Local officials seemed to accept the rights of medical marijuana growers and users. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In our township, the state ballot proposal received a lot of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;yesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; votes here. The people here wanted this, so we will figure out how to make it work,â&#x20AC;? Reinsch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This act is now a part of our State Constitution. Is it perfect? No, but the people supported this,â&#x20AC;? Baja said.

so much gray area in the state law, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take all the help we can get,â&#x20AC;? he said. The Empire Village Planning Commission is looking at creating its own zoning language, but stopped short of enacting a moratorium. Karen Baja is the councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s representative on the planning commission. Speaking at a council work session held last month, she said that the villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Zoning Ordinance has no provision for enacting a moratorium. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would take about three months for us to put together a proposal for a moratorium, hold a public hearing, get

Leelanau Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first and only â&#x20AC;&#x153;medical marijuana dispensaryâ&#x20AC;? is well on its way to becoming completely legal, even complying with a zoning ordinance recently approved by the Elmwood Township Board. As other jurisdictions continue to grapple with whether, how and how much to regulate the growth and sale of marijuana for medical purposes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which was legalized by Michigan voters in November 2008 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Elmwood has become the first township in Leelanau County to put an ordinance on the books. It was published in last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Leelanau Enterprise. Elmwood was pressed into fast action at least partly because it is also host to the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only medical marijuana dispensary. Known as the Third Coast Compassion Center TC-West, the business is located in the former Plamondon Insurance Agency building on south West Bay Shore Drive (M-22) in Elmwood Township. Kevin Plamondon owns the building and formerly operated an insurance agency at the site. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a former president of the Traverse City Compassion Club, and also offered public comment in January when the Elmwood Township Planning Commission was gathering input to put together an ordinance. Plamondon listed his address as 13310 S. West Bay Shore Drive at the meeting, where his insurance company was located. The ordinance process was completed on May 3, when the Township Board at a special meeting approved township guidelines supervisor Jack Kelly believes are in the best interest of the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ordinance will allow the sale of medical marijuana (at dispensaries), but not the use,â&#x20AC;? said Kelly. Elmwood Township avoided filing a lawsuit against Third Coast Compassion Center as had been authorized by the Township Board, Kelly reported. The Center had opened without first obtaining a new business license from the township, which adopted a 6-month moratorium on marijuana dispensaries in January. The moratorium was due to expire on June 13. Elmwood zoning administrator Dave Neiger sent a â&#x20AC;&#x153;cease and desistâ&#x20AC;? letter to Third Coast Compassion Center.

An informational work shop session on the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act hosted by the county Planning Commission Monday brought a crowd of close to 100 people to the county Government Center. County Senior Planner Kristin Smith said about two-thirds of the audience were people involved in local government, mostly township or county planning commission members. The remaining third were law enforcement personnel and some medical marijuana users and care providers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had folks from all walks of life. We had planning commission members and planning officials from around the county and the area. I think since we were the first to hold an informational session like this, we attracted a good sized crowd,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. The work shop featured four speakers: Traverse Narcotics Team (TNT) Detective Lt. Kip Belcher; Jay Kilpatrick, a senior planner with the Williams & Works firm; and attorneys Carol Rosati and Anne McClorey McLaughlin, both from a firm in

Farmington Hills. Belcher has worked with the Michigan State Police for the last 22 years. He has been involved with about 2,500 criminal drug investigations during his tenure with TNT, most of which involved marijuana growing operations. Kilpatrick has assisted communities in evaluating alternative approaches to locating medical marijuana facilities. Rosati and McLaughlin are members of the Johnson, Rosati, LaBarge, Aseltyne & Field firm in Farmington Hills. Rosati specializes in land use, zoning, municipal and constitutional law. McLaughlin has specialized in municipal law, governmental liability defense and civil rights defense. For the past year and a half McLaughlin has spoken to various organizations on the challenges posed by the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act (MMMA). Smith said planners learned parameters for local regulation of medical marijuana. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They talked about all options, from doing nothing to outright banning the use, and what the legal ramifications would be for each option,â&#x20AC;? she said. The presenters indicated that if a local government really is having a

county Jail after failing to post a $25,000 cash surety bond. Court documents provide the following account: Between July 19 and Aug. 14, Wilson is charged with taking at least two checks without permission from a victim and presenting them for payment knowing that signatures on the checks were fraudulent. The first check, dated July 19, 2010, was for $6,800; the sec-

ond check, dated July 25, 2010, was for $4,500. County chief assistant Prosecutor Doug Donaldson said Wilson worked with the victim, a Maple City man. “She kept house for him and helped him out,” Donaldson said. If Wilson is found or pleads guilty to the charges, she faces a maximum penalty of 14 years in prison.

CenturyLink offers telephone assistance to individuals living on Tribal Lands CenturyLink is energizing its efforts to inform residents of two assistance programs that provide discounts on initial telephone installation and basic monthly telephone service to qualifying low-income consumers. Link-Up helps these consumers pay the initial costs of getting telephone service. Lifeline provides certain discounts on monthly service for qualified subscribers. Lifeline and Link-Up are available to qualifying consumers in every U.S. state (territory and commonwealth). Qualifications for participation vary by state. States with their own programs have their own criteria. In states that rely solely on the federal program, the subscriber must participate in one of the following programs: Medicaid, food stamps, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Federal Public Housing Assistance or the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), Head Start, the National School Lunch Program’s Free Lunch Program, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) or if the Household annual gross income is at or below 135% of the federal poverty level. The amount of the discounts also varies by state. Link-Up helps qualified low-income consumers to connect to the telephone network. This federal program offsets 1/2 of the initial hook-up fee, up to $30, for qualified households. Residents of American Indian and Alaskan Native tribal lands may qualify for an additional $25 of enhanced Lifeline support monthly and up to $70 of expanded Link-Up support beyond current levels. An individual living on tribal lands may also qualify for Lifeline and Link-Up discounts if he or she participates in one of the above programs or one of the following federal programs: Bureau of Indian Affairs General Assistance or Tribally-Administered Temporary Assistance to Needy Families.

EMPIRE VILLAGE residents Linda Payment (left) and Heidi Skinner got in the asparagus spirit — and costumes — for a past festival.

Local asparagus questionable for festival There’s a chance that the veggie of choice will be available for sale at the Eighth Annual Empire Asparagus Festival. But growers had their eyes to the ground, hoping that frost wouldn’t nip what has already turned out to be a delayed crop. Harry and Barbara Norconk will have a vendor’s booth at the festival in Empire for Saturday. The Norconk Farm, located just south of the BenzieLeelanau County line on Aral Road, is known for its asparagus. Harry Norconk said is hoping to have fresh-cut asparagus at a festival booth. “If it doesn’t freeze tonight (Monday), we’ll have fresh asparagus for Saturday. It froze last night (Sunday), but it only twinged the roof tops, it didn’t get down to the ground level,” Norconk said. The family made its first cutting last

week, but it was sparse. “We only took about four inches off, not too much,” he said. The best weather for growing, and harvesting, the asparagus stalks provides daytime highs in the 70s, no freezes at night, and sunshine. “Seventy to 72 is a good temperature for growing. If you’re in the 60s, that’s too low. The 80s is good, but then it grows too fast,” he said. The festival, organized by the Empire Chamber of Commerce, has events scheduled for tomorrow night, Saturday and Sunday morning. Chamber president Paul Skinner said they will have everything ready to go for the weekend. “We’ve got our volunteers ready to go, the vendors are all lined up. Now we just need some decent weather and people to show up,” he said. Go to www.empirechamber.com and

click on the asparagus festival icon to find a complete listing of events, vendors and sponsors. One highlight is always the Empire Asparagus Poetry Contest; winners will be announced on Saturday. The vendors area on Front Street will be open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. A 5K fun run will start and end at the Empire Village Beach, with registration starting at 8 a.m. and racers taking off at 9 a.m. The “green” parade, with no motorized entries allow, will kick off at 3 p.m. All are welcome to take part, but floats and entries must salute asparagus. At 7 p.m. the Asparagus Bar-B-Q begins at the Township Hall on Front Street. On Sunday from 8 a.m.-noon, master chef Sam Barr will create breakfast masterpieces as part of the Empire Eagles Famous Breakfast in the Empire Township Hall.

Cedar plans community ‘garage’ sale ‘Why not hold a big one here in Cedar?’” Bunting said. Bunting asked Solon Township Board trustee George Rosinski to see if the board would have any problems with a community-wide sale along the sidewalks through Cedar. The board had no problems with it. “Flaska Insurance Agency will have its courtyard open and they will be selling some stuff they want to get rid of. The lady who owns the quilt shop (Liberty Bell Quilts) is going to have some items for sale as will Liz Saile. The ice cream shop owner (Bret Crimmons) is letting us use the green

space next to his shop, and Rich Zywicki is opening up the space next to the hardware store,” Bunting said. So far 27 people have signed up to be part of the sale. Bunting said other residents will also be holding their own garage sales. “People are asking to setup by the playground so their children can come with them. It really is going to be a great day,” she said. The cost to “rent” a selling space on the sidewalk is $10. Bunting said the fee will go to for advertising, with any money left over donated to the Cedar fire department.

Painter’s work to be auctioned after demo

SCENES FROM Empire painted by Harriett Mittelberger will be on display in Glen Arbor.

Empire featured in G-A show A mini-show of paintings by Harriett Mittelberger is being featured through May 27 at the Glen Arbor Art Association (GAAA). Mittelberger’s show, entitled “Empire State of Mind,” represents the first of seven “mini-shows” to be held over two-week periods at GAAA. Mittelberger earned a bachelor of arts in communications from Michigan State and a master of fine arts in direct-

Master painter Jerry Caron will offer a free demonstration of his technique for painting landscapes and still-life on Friday, at 1 p.m. at the Old Art Building in Leland. “It’s like magic,” commented a viewer of one of Caron’s previous demonstrations. “First there are a bunch of pretty meaningless colors on the canvas … and then out of no where this beautiful picture just emerges.” The demonstration will culminate in a completely finished work of art that will immediately be auctioned off, with all proceeds to benefit the Old Art Building. The event is open to members of the northern Michigan arts community as well as the public at large. Caron will respond to questions from the audience. Admission is free of charge, but those planning to attend are encouraged to phone 256-2131 to reserve a place. Caron will be available to briefly critique artwork brought in by attendees.

If you’re into garage sales, Cedar will be the place on Saturday. Residents and business owners in Cedar are planning a community-wide garage sale from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The effort is being organized by Dottie Bunting, who with her husband, Greg, owns Bunting’s Cedar Market. “I had been thinking about holding a garage sale at our home, but I wasn’t sure if people would be able to find our house,” she said. She was talking about her garage sale dilemma with patrons at the store said they were considering holding garage sales as well. “We all thought,

Sidewalk connects ‘cultural campus’ It seems only appropriate that a sidewalk connecting M-22 to the Leelanau Community Cultural Center would be built of more than cement. About 10 volunteers on Tuesday laid native stones in a flowing pattern as cement dried on the sidewalk, which is part of a renovation project for what has become affectionately known in the Leland community as the “Old Art Building.” The sidewalk will provide a better way for people to get to the Old Art Building, operated by the LCCC. The sidewalk will also connect to the Leland Township Library and the Leelanau Historical Society Museum. The library and museum are located on Cedar Street behind the Old Art Building. The LCCC has been working toward sidewalk construction for almost 5 years as plans were discussed among the LCCC, Leland Township, the Leland Township Library and the Leelanau Historical Society. All four organizations shared in the the cost of the sidewalk. Scheduling between the four entities and discussions about safety issues held the project in the planning phase. LCCC had to decide between building a path on the other side of the Old Art Building property along the Leland River or building the sidewalk along Cedar Street. Leland Township was particularly interested in the safety that would be provided by a sidewalk, and its interest in the project finally swayed the LCCC’s decision. Previously, people walked down Cedar Street to get to the buildings, which created dangerous situations with car traffic. Traffic on the street was especially heavy when an event or class was held in one of the buildings. The center chose to leave the lake side of the property as a natural space with benches and walking paths.

DAN LISUK, president of the Leelanau Community Cultural Center, pushes stones into the concrete on Tuesday. The sidewalk will help bring the Old Arts Building, the Leland Museum and the Leland Township Library together as a cultural campus. spaces of concrete to decorate; volunteers created their own designs. The LCCC received a grant from the Leland Community Improvement Association to plant ornamental trees between the sidewalk and the road. A committee is still deciding which species of tree to plant. There will also be space for parking along the side of the road. The new sidewalk will promote safety, and the flowing design of stones in the concrete will lead visitors to a special part of Leland made up of the museum, the library and the Old Art Building.

Judy Livingston, program director for the Leelanau Community Cultural Center, is happy to see the sidewalk constructed for more than safety reasons. “It’s going to make it a clean visual sweep to the buildings,” Livingston said. “We’d like to work to make it a cohesive group back here.” LCCC president Dan Lisuk agreed. “It will connect us all as a cultural campus.” The sidewalk is decorated with native Leelanau stones that were donated to the center. Jasper, feldspar, petoskey, bluestones and many other beautiful and colorful rocks were laid in the concrete. Volunteers laid stones in 5-foot lengths of cement in artistic patterns that flowed from one side of the sidewalk to the other. There were 40

The Glen Lake Association is exploring options to dredge Hatlem Pond in Empire Township, placing sediments in an upland retention pond that has not been built. Hatlem Pond, which is located on private property, has six feet of silt covered by 18 inches of surface water, according to a letter written to Empire Township by Rob Karner, watershed biologist for the Glen Lake Association and teacher at the Leelanau School. Heavy rains force Hatlem Pond to overflow, according to Karner, carrying silt downstream it discolors water along the south shore of big Glen Lake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We could see Hatlem Pond becoming a pond that has a routine dredging schedule that would prevent any more of this siltation to come down,â&#x20AC;? said

Karner. Siltation in small quantities is natural, and is not an issue. But because so much silt has built up in front of the dam, heavy rain causes a lot of sediment to flow at once to the lake, Karner believes. The problem is complicated because Hatlem Creek already suffers from an â&#x20AC;&#x153;already significant E. coli problem,â&#x20AC;? he added. The dam holding water from Hatlem Creek to create Hatlem Pond appears to be intact and fully functional, Karner said. Still, the Glen Lake Association would like to have an engineer make sure itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working properly. Karnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letter, dated April 18 and addressed to Empire Township supervisor Bill Bolton, asks the township to

partner with the Glen Lake Association in the event that the dam needs to be updated or replaced after inspection. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the dam were to need replacing it would far exceed the cost of any one person, so we need the township to be acting as an agent for potential funding that would come through public grants,â&#x20AC;?

The Parent Problem Dave and Shelley Popp of Maple City are just doing their duties, each watching a daughter play a varsity sport. Logan, a junior, was competing last week on the Glen Lake soccer team. Meanwhile, Sarah, a senior, was playing softball. The best place to watch both games at once happened to be in the middle, on a big rock.

Hard work in garden paid off year-round for S-B family Now that winter is finally in the past many of us are planning and planting gardens. I always approach such tasks with a eye to the past and wonder what type of plants Leelanau County residents used to cultivate. If you have seen my columns you know that I sometimes use the diaries of Sarah Palmer as inspiration and fodder. Mrs. Palmer resided on Richter Road in Suttons Bay for much of her life, and kept a dairy from about 18731915. So I picked the year 1890, read through all her entries and came up with a survey of her year in her gardens. She definitely had a green thumb and grew many flowers along with her vegetables. She often made up bouquets and gave them away to friends and neighbors. So set back and relax and live a whole year in Sarah’s garden: Jan 1: “I picked a pretty pansy today from my flower bed.” Jan 8: “I have an arbutus in bud from the woods”. (She must have been successful in extracting a trailing arbutus from the woods to her home?) Jan 23: She received Vick’s floral guide, a popular journal about plants and also a seed company which was eventually sold to the Burpee Co. April 21: She planted her tomato seeds. April 22: Planted cabbage seed. April 26: Her husband sowed the peas, not sure if those were cow peas or garden peas. They also ate the last of the fruit preserves from the previous season. April 28: “Sent roots and arbutus to

charley’s folks…” May 5: “Melville (her husband) set out his sweet apples…” May 13: “Worked in the flower beds”. May 16: “We have peas, onions and lettuce in and a few potatoes.” She means they are planted, they weren’t on the table yet! May 24: “The folks are all planting corn.” Probably field corn and not the sweet stuff we eat fresh. May 26: She planted her seeds in the flower bed. June 2: “The cutworms are pretty bad this year”. June 4: “I set out tomato plants every night but the cut worms bother me a good deal.” Sounds like she was hardening off her tomato plants before setting them out for good. June 9: “The flowers I have in blossom now are Flags, daiseys, tulips, pansys, Lilacs, and golden buttons.” Her spellings. By Flags, might she mean blue flag Iris? June 14: “Planting potatoes.” June 16: Her first peony bloomed. June 18: The children picked the first strawberries for dinner. And she hoed a row of sweet corn. June 20: Weeded her beets and carrots. June 23: “Hoed all the forenoon and most of the afternoon.” June 24: “Mosquitoes bad tonight.” June 25: “I sent Miss Dorland a boquet.” June 26: “Our folks finished planting potatoes.” June 27: “I finished hoeing the garden today. Now I have red roses. Syringas. One yellow rose. sweet Williams. snap dragons. golden but-

tons. pansys. little pink daiseys. and pinks. and the tall red flower begins to come out.” June 28: “Had lettuce and strawberries for dinner. We have lettuce and radishes every day.” June 30: She set out her last cabbages and notes that her roses are very nice. July 7: “I have lots of red roses & pink roses & some white ones & some moss roses, sweet williams, pansys, snap dragons, larkspurs, pinks, lichnes, & the white daises & petunias have just begun to blossom.” (Concluded on Page 17)

July 12: She made cherry pie and a raspberry pie and had raspberries for dinner and supper. July 16: “The flower that I have the most of now are corn lilies, pansies, white roses, petunias, white daisies, Larkspur, sweet Williams, poppies, & portulacca. Had string beans for dinner.” July 17: To take a tangent for just a moment, she offers this animal inventory. “We bought a cow and little heifer calf two weeks old of Mr Cozart yesterday, so we have two cows & two heifer calves. We have a span of horses & last years colt, three big hogs & eight little pigs, seven sheep & seven lambs, 3 hens with chickens and one brood that are weaned. I think we have 7 hens & a big rooster, and a canary bird.” July 23: “My flowers now are white roses, 2 kinds of Marigolds, stereiums, white daisys. petunias, a few morning glories. Lichness, larkspurs, poppies, corn Lilies, and portulacca”. (again Sarah’s spelling here, not sure what all of these flowers are… if you know please contact me!) July 25: “Hoed the cabbage and killed a lot of cabbage worms. Ate the last of the old potatoes.” July 27: “New potatoes for dinner.” (I am impressed that she was able to stretch the potatoes all year. I’m sure the old potatoes were getting rather mealy and must have been full of sprouts. The new potatoes must have tasted great!) July 29: “Paris greening the potatoes.” Some type of spray, maybe a copper, put on the potatoes. August 1: “Spent the forenoon picking cabbage worms.” August 8: “I preserved 6 ½ lbs of the late cherries today. I have some very nice double poppies, some china pinks, & flox, white daiseys, lilys, portulaca 7 kinds, petunias stercions, lots of morning glories, larkspurs, candy tuft, marygolds, pansys & some clarkia, Sunflowers & holy hocks. Very hard rain & wind & thunder & lightening to night. The wind laid down a good many things in the garden & flowers.” (We have all had the rain knock down some tall flowers, she must have been frustrated enough to note in her diary.) August 16: “made two apple pies.” (First mention of new apples.) August 17: “ I cooked New potatoes, string beans, & summer squash for dinner & cut up cucumbers. I have a pretty purple Dahlia, one Zinia, some flox, lots of petunias & portulacca & marigolds morning glories & fouroclocks.” August 20: “boiled corn for dinner” (first mention of what is probably sweet corn) August 22: “I went over all of the cabbage to day & killed the worms, they never were so thick on our cabbage before.” (can’t you just feel her frustration!) September 5: “went blackberrying over to Lee’s point and got 25 quarts.” September 17: “cooked winter squash for dinner” (seasons are changing, she is already eating the winter squash) September 22: She brought in the plants she wanted in the house and made elderberry pies. September 28: Went to Lee’s point to check on Peaches, but they were still hard and under ripe. October 4: (another slight digression

to show a busy day despite the death of friend) “Pared apples to dry. I am saving garden seeds, cooked the big rooster for dinner. I went over to Mrs Coles this afternoon & saw her die. I churned, made five loaves of bread. I scalded all of the bedsteads up stairs. Cora is helping clean up. We sold 11 bushels of fall apples to Leander for 50 cts a bushel. Melville & Perry are husking corn. I boiled cabbage for dinner. Melville & Perry cleaned up a grist of wheat to take to Traverse. Melville went to a caucus to night.” October 8: “They start digging potatoes.” October 11: She made 8 pumpkin pies. Her husband and sons have dug more than 100 bushels of potatoes by this day. October 20: Andrew Weisler’s cow got into her cabbages and ate 12 of them. After all those cut worms she loses 12 to a pilfering cow. How awful. October 28: But she still had cabbage to spare, and sold 40 heads of cabbage to Mrs. Fogarty besides what she kept for herself. November 8: “Planted tulips and put dahlia toes in sand.” (I never heard anyone call dahlia tubers ‘toes’ but it seems to fit, sand helps keep them through the winter.) November 10: “Finished bringing in the cabbage.” November 24: “buried the potatoes today”. (Potatoes can be stored by burying in straw lined pits in the field, below the frost line. Sometimes kept in cellars too, buried in dry sand or grain chaff.) About the author In late summer, Susan Odom plans to open Hillside Homestead in Leelanau County, where visitors can experience a turn-of-the-century farm along with historic farm dinner experiences, B&B style lodging and special events set to the year 1910. More information is available at HillsideHomestead.com.

60 YEARS AGO May 17, 1951 Leelanau County’s resort business should be good this summer. Given a break in weather, it will be above average. That’s the news brought back from Grand Rapids by Albert L. Wrisley of Northport Point, vice president of the West Michigan Tourist and Resort association, who attended the annual Spring tourist conference last week. *** Six Coast Guard vessels, one of them a heavily armed destroyer escort, have been on maneuvers this week off South Manitou Island. *** Saturday night’s frost, which dropped temperatures to as low as 24 degrees, cost thousands of dollars in losses for Leelanau’s fruit growers, farmers and gardeners. County Recorder Fred Hahnenberg found 1½ inches of ice in a pail at his farm near Lake Leelanau. 115 YEARS AGO May 14, 1896 The summer resort at Fouch will open June 15th. *** Supervisor Krubner of Cleveland Township made us a pleasant call on Monday. *** H.M. Gilman caught a Black Bass in the river Tuesday that tipped the scales at 5 lbs. & 8 oz. *** Provemont. We understand that Alfred Couturier is to start a temperance saloon in the near future and as Fred promises to keep nothing stronger than alcohol, we wish him success.

Hard work in garden paid off

The county Board of Commissioners approved the purchase of the former Enterprise building at its regular monthly meeting Tuesday night. Administrator John L. McCurtain presented the board with a negotiated settlement with Richard C. Kerr, establishing a price of $282,000 for the former home of the county’s weekly newspaper. 35 YEARS AGO May 20, 1976 Leelanau Township has the highest total property valuation of Leelanau County’s 11 townships, according to the 1976 tax equalization report compiled by the County Equalization Department. The valuation for Leelanau Township, the northernmost local unit in the county, is pegged at $28.1 million. *** State Rep. Connie Binsfeld of Maple City will face opposition in the Republican primary in August for the 104th District seat tjat includes Leelanau County. On Monday, Robert Lee, 35-year old news and public affairs director for WWTV in Cadillac, announced his candidacy for the post. A third Republican, Rudy Savage of Traverse City, would also seek nomination in the Aug. 3 primary. *** A former Elk Rapids and Mesick school teacher and administrator is the choice for superintendent of Glen Lake Community Schools. He is Raymond C. Kahler, 53, who is completing his 13th year as superintendent of schools at Sandusky.

5 YEARS AGO May 18, 2006 Dr. John G. and Elnora Milliken are 0-for-4, an average that seems out-of-place in their highly successful lives. The Millikens have attempted four times in the last decade to have the 230 acres that they have amassed in Elmwood Township developed, with the latest failure coming last week. A Wisconsin-based company that developed waterparks in the Dells region withdrew its application, with a spokesperson for the firm stating that reaction from Elmwood Township led to the decision. *** Allegations of impropriety against the tribal Election Board have resulted in the unprecedented postponement of a general election that was slated to be held next week for members of the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians. On Friday, tribal court chief judge Katherine J. Scotta granted an emergency motion to stay the election for 45 days pending an investigation into complaints that were filed by a Tribal Council candidate who narrowly lost an April 2 primary election race. *** An unexpected infusion of $419,000 in federal and state grant funding will allow Suttons Bay Township and the Michigan Department of Transportation to acquire a new 47-acre “45th Parallel Park” on M-22 south of Setterbo Road. Officials hope to establish a 4-acre waterfront roadside park on M-22 with an adjacent 43-acre “natural area” west of an old railroad rightof-way paralleling the state highway. 10 YEARS AGO May 17, 2001 A new plan to swap state and private land on South Fox Island was unveiled this week by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the public is being invited to participate in yet another round of hearings. State and federal officials have struck a deal with private landowner and developer David Johnson to keep the southern 10 acres of South Fox Island in public ownership. If the new plan is approved, most of the state’s land would be consolidated in the northern one third of the island, while Johnson’s land would be consolidated in the southern two-thirds of the island — minus the 10-acre parcel at the southernmost tip. *** The auditorium planned for construction at Suttons Bay High School may end up costing much more than anticipated, but building four new classrooms and a shop at the high school will likely cost a little less. ***

fast, lunch and ice cream. I’m certain that everyone wishes them the best of luck, especially their new neighbors. Sunday the Empire Eagles will host a breakfast from 8 a.m. till noon at the Empire Town Hall. While we are on the subject of Empire happenings, the Empire Area Museum will be presenting the film “Whaddaya Give” produced by the Leelanau Historical Society. The 90 minute movie is of a play written by local author and essayist Anne-Marie Oomen, who was inspired by the Roen brothers lives and posthumous estate auction that drew national attention to this tiny village. As an add, of course popcorn will will be served. If you want to see something really interesting about the new Sleeping Bear Trail, check out sleepingbeartrail. org/. It really shows off our area. I am convinced that we will have summer soon. By request, Go Bulls. P.S. from Dotti: Special Happy Birthday wishes to a good buddy of mine, Scotty Thompson.

This is going to be a busy weekend, Empire Asparagus Festival will kick off on Friday night from 6-10:30 a pig roast under the big tent including Right Brain Brewery and entertainment by K-Jones Benzie Playboyz. Saturday starting at 10 a.m. 5K fun run. Starting at 11:30 a.m. the Asparagus recipe contest and cook-off will be held at the Empire Town Hall. The main thing however is the Asparagus Eats and Beer Tasting which will run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. While tasting and eating, don’t forget to get in the Empire Lions Clubs 50-50. After the festival, Joe’s Friendly will have a Bar-BQ from 6-10:30 and dancing with music by Who Hit John. I guess you will have to be there to answer that question. How about marching in the parade starting at 3 p.m. in the Kazoo Band? Dick Figura will be leading the band again. The Empire Lions Club is participating by giving free t-shirts to anyone marching in the band. Kazoo’s will also be issued if you don’t have

one of your own. There will be a rehearsal on Friday evening, but if you are unable to make it, just show up on Saturday because as the leader of the band says, “the Kazoo Band is not exactly rocket science.” For a souvenir, the t-shirts will be sold at the festival also. Hey, congratulations Cameron Kerr on earning your instructor’s license. Mary Beaird has returned to her home on big Glen Lake after attending her high school class reunion in Illinois. It was Mary’s 65th class reunion, and there must have been other people there on top of it. Get well wishes to Jodie Dodson and to Delores Strobel. Happy Birthday wishes to Frank Siepker, Robert Jillson and Margaret Hodge. Just a reminder to Jim Martin, per the conversation at the Chamber meeting, the invitation still stands. Congratulations to Thomas, Carol and Cora McCahill, new owners of the Dairy Bar or deli or whatever it has been. The McCahill’s are owners of the On The Narrows Marina.

Omena blossoms still ‘days away’ By LESLIE DISCH Phone/fax 386-5686 email: phen.omena.2@gmail.com * * *

We’ve waited a long time for this weather, but it does seem like spring has finally arrived. Last Sunday night’s warnings of frost and freezing was more than a little disconcerting for farmers and gardeners, but the warmup seems to have begun. Our orchard was one of the sites on the 2009 Blossom Tour, and we all thought that was a really late year for blossoms. The tour was on May 16 that year and our blossoms just opened the day before. I’m writing this column on May 16 and we are days away from seeing a cherry blossom up here. Interestingly, in the May 29, 2008 column, I commented on how late everything was. There still hadn’t been any asparagus at the Farmers Market on May 24 that year. There may be asparagus at this weekend’s market this year. Speaking of which, the first Farmers Market of the 2011 season was a great success in spite of the chilly, off-and-on rainy, weather. The new location at Suttons Bay’s North Park, at the intersection of M-22 and M-204, boasted 13 vendors and over 150 customers at the opening day. It’s springtime in Paris, too, as Dick and Nana Kennedy can report. They just returned from a delightful week there – sunny, warm days; charming sidewalk cafes; lots of wine and baguettes; miles of walking and window shopping; beautiful flower-filled parks; marvelous museums and concerts. They found it to be an incredible city, and a truly “carpe diem” trip. Marcia Biskupski and daughter Alison are here from Chicago for the summer. Mike and Kathy Bosco were here for a long weekend, and Mike stopped by the Farmers Market. Margaret Travis was also at the market, as were quite a few Omena residents Congratulations to John and Mary Helen Ray on the birth of their granddaughter Tatum Elizabeth Ray. Her parents are Michael and Samantha Ray of Phoenix. She arrived on May 11, the same day as John’s forty-first 39th birthday. What a special birthday present. Fred Putnam is in town to work around the farm. While here, he also went to see the Graduation Pow-wow at Suttons Bay High School. It was a great event. The senior class was escorted into the gym by Native American dancers. Three of the Native American seniors shared their life stories and goals in a motivational video presentation. Omena resident Nicole Grant was on the organizing committee and also part of the video. Debby Disch also attended the pow-wow, and she and Kanda McKee went to the silent auction that evening that raised funds for the SEEDS after school program.

Ed Oberndorf was in town for a brief visit to the area, possibly giving new meaning to the term “brief visit”. He drove from Cleveland, stopping part way, arrived on Friday, and left Saturday afternoon. His nephew, Bill Oberndorf, who lives in San Francisco, was awarded Alumni Man of the Year at University School in Cleveland and he asked his Uncle Ed to make the presentation. Bill has been involved in many areas of philanthropy, with a real passion in the area of school choice. He and John Walton co-founded the Alliance for School Choice that works nationally to bring about K-12 education reform and expand school choice for low-income families. Ed came up to meet with Al Noftz of Northport, who helped him develop an interesting video presentation. The format of the presentation, including many pictures of Bill’s classmates and colleagues, will be a surprise for Bill. Ed will be the first uncle to honor a nephew since this award was initiated in 1949, and this will be the first video format ever presented. Ed was hosted for one night at the Balas B&B, where the company was outstanding and the rates were the best in the Omena area. He also enjoyed lunch on Saturday with Bruce and Judy and Harold and Kanda McKee. Jenny and Molly Smith were in town for a long weekend visiting their parents Rink and Karon Smith. They returned to South Haven on Sunday. Congratulations to Emma Preston First on her graduation from Washington State University on May 7 with a BA in Apparel Merchandising. Emma is the daughter of Cynnie Renz Dotzauer of Snohomish, Washington, and the granddaughter of Bill and Rat Renz. Bill and Rat took the train from Cincinnati to Washington for the event. They had a great trip out, even though

floods in North Dakota caused them to detour between Fargo and Minot. They met a man from Traverse City on the train, and enjoyed beautiful scenery. Other attendees at the graduation included Cynnie’s double cousin, Marjie Smith, who is also Emma’s godmother, Emma’s step father, Ron Dotzauer and his mother Mavis, Emma’s sisters, AJ Dotzauer, from Ellensburg, Washington, and Ellie First from Bozeman, Montana, her father, John First, and her boyfriend, Lane Myers, and his family. Emma has accepted a management position with Target in Portland, Oregon, where both of Marjie’s brothers, Preston and Tim Smith, live. A number of Rule cousins are at the Rule Cottage this week working on several projects. The group includes Luke Robinson from Cincinnati, Jim Wickemeyer from East Leroy, Michigan, Steve Hessel from Corvallis, Oregon, and Jamie Cromartie and his son Ben from Egg Harbor City, New Jersey. They will be joined at various times by their Omena cousins, Rink Smith and his wife Karon, and Debby Disch and her husband Les. Les and Debby’s nephew, Aric Browning, will also be on the work crew (as well as the after work crew). Tonight, May 19, will be the first of the Savings Birds Thru Habitat Speaker Series. Piper Goldson will be speaking about the works of John James Audubon and John Gould. Saturday, May 21, is the Walleye Festival in Lake Leelanau. The fishing tournament begins at 7 am. The festivities begin at 1 p.m., and the parade is at 2 p.m. Sunday, May 22, is the NMC Barbecue. I’m not forgetting the birthdays this week – there actually aren’t any in my little black book. So, Happy National Bike to Work Day to everyone on May 20.

Keswick United Methodist Church will host its second free movie night Saturday in the church multi-purpose room. Open to the public, the Dreamworks movie Prince of Egypt, rated PG, will be shown. The movie tells the story of Moses (voice by Val Kilmer), who is raised the son of Pharaoh Seti (Patrick Stewart) and is a fitting rival for his stepbrother Rameses (Ralph Fiennes). When he learns of his roots, Moses flees to the desert, learns of his heritage and heeds God’s calling to free his enslaved people from Egypt. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. The movie will begin at 7 p.m.. Pop and popcorn will be provided. Movie-goers can bring their favorite pillow and blanket, or a lawn chair. The church is located at 3376 S. Center Hwy., south of Suttons Bay.

Moses’ quest told in movie at Keswick

When Leonardo da Vinci was painting the Lord’s Supper, an aide carelessly spilled the paint. The artist threw down his brush and bitterly berated the boy. Brokenhearted, the boy ran out of the studio. The artist picked up his brush and started to paint the face of our Lord, but he couldn’t. His creativity was gone! Running to the boy, he said, “As Christ forgives me, I forgive you. Come back. My mistake of anger was worse than your mistake of spilling paint.” The boy returned, and the artist painted the face of our Lord in a matchless manner. Destroy anger, or anger will destroy you!

Our bees are back

Disorder that threatened pollination has declined

The tree plot was treated with a growth hormone last fall to reduce the number of blossoms and concentrate the tree’s energy on fewer cherries. The result, researchers hope, will be larger individual cherries. The first numbers look promising, Lizotte said while working through stiff spring wind that made for a cold morning. “Next time, we may want to bring gloves,” Lizotte said.

Continued from Page 1 Although spotty frost was recorded at sites throughout the county early Tuesday morning, it didn’t freeze at the research center, farm manager Bill Klein said. On Monday, a crew headed by Erin Lizotte, Michigan State University (MSU) Extension integrated fruit practices (IFP) and integrated pest management (IPM) district educator, was in the orchard counting blossoms on sweet cherries as part of a research project.

Crop has avoided damage

MAPLE TREES stand sentry to one of cherry farmer Gerry Brandt’s orchards, now equipped with a bee hive to aid pollination.

US 31 S.

A bee disorder caught national attention about three years ago when apiarists around the country reported unusually large losses in honeybee populations. Although the disorder remains nationally, it hasn’t been a problem in Michigan this season, according to Nikki Rothwell, coordinator at the Northwest Michigan Horticulture station. “I think the populations of our Michigan bee colonies have been pretty good this year,” Rothwell said. “They’ve rebounded from two or three years ago.” Although populations are stable, cold and windy weather has kept honeybee activity low so far this spring. Researchers still don’t know the exact cause of Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), but believe viruses, mites, and even pesticides can play a role. Because no cause has been established, long-term solutions have yet to be found. Jeremy Jelinek, owner of Jelinek Apiaries, operates his business in Gills Pier and has lost some of his bees because of the unseasonably cold weather this spring. He has not had trouble with CCD, despite taking his bees to Georgia and California for the winter where Jelinek sells pollination services to farmers in those warmer climates. CCD has mostly affected beekeepers who transport honeybees around the country, Rothwell said, because moving bees such long distances can be stressful for them. Beekeepers who stay in place for the winter see less of the mysterious CCD phenomenon, but deal with other difficulties like keeping bees alive in such low temperatures. To minimize CCD and other stresses on his bees, Jelinek focuses on keeping his bees as healthy as possible when they’re traveling. “Nutrition, in our business, is one thing we really work hard at,” Jelinek said. “Anything to help soothe their digestive system and nerves.” Pollen substitutes can be fed to bees to supplement the pollen they get on their own from plants that could be laden with pesticides and other chemicals. About 90 percent of Jelinek Apiaries’s business is pollination services.

Remaining income comes from honey production. Most of the business’s honey is sold to national honey wholesalers, and the rest is sold locally at farmers markets. Prices for pollination haven’t changed much in the last few years, Jelinek said, and usually range between $45 and $150 per colony depending on farm location and how long bee colonies will be out in the fields. Pollination services have gotten more expensive in other parts of the country, especially out west, where Jelinek says demand for services is growing. Zachary Huang, an Associate Apiculture Professor at Michigan State University, estimates that honeybee pollination is nearly a $1 billion industry in Michigan. Many important Michigan crops, like cherries, asparagus, soybeans, apples and blueberries, depend on pollination from honeybees. Jerry Brandt, owner of Fairview Orchards, uses traditional honeybees to pollinate his cherry crop only about half the time. For the rest of his pollination, he turns to other species including Hornfaced bees imported from Japan. Brandt works with Apiary experts at Michigan State University to research alternative pollinators, and has nearly 60 nests of his own bees. But 60 nests isn’t enough to pollinate all of Brandt’s orchard lands. To complete the process, he turns to a pollination service. Brandt only needs the service once a year, and has seen prices gradually rise as beekeepers have trouble raising bees. Going to the trouble of raising his own bee colonies and purchasing a pollination service is worth the effort for Brandt, who says pollination is a key aspect of growing any fruit. “Without pollination you don’t get a whole lot of fruit,” Brandt said. There are things that any farmer or gardener can do to encourage native pollinators to visit. Huang suggests that farmers avoid using pesticides and other chemicals, or at least use them responsibly, to keep pollinators healthy. Anyone interested in raising bees should purchase them from local retailers, because they’ll be more acclimated to Michigan’s climate, and should promote good bee nutrition to keep them healthy.
