JULY! JU UL

HAPPY

By Chris Olsen of the Enterprise staff

In Cedar, nothing brings people together like a friendly game of Euchre — which means there should be an immediate welcome for the latest addition to the Cedar Polka Fest. The euchre tournament, whose proceeds will go to the American Cancer Foundation, offers one more activity for an already-packed Fourth of July weekend in Leelanau. With weather set to improve right on schedule, plan to show up early to grab a seat for the biggest holiday weekend of the year in the county. A list of Fourth of July events — which is saying something — can be found in this edition of the Leelanau Enterprise. Included are parades, fireworks, foot races and, yes, a new Eucher tournament. Each year the Cedar Polka Fest brings thousands of people into the hamlet to enjoy polka music, dancing, Polish food and beer. (Concluded on Page 15)

Recycling fee jumps By Eric Carlson of the Enterprise staff

The amount paid by each Leelanau County household to fund the county’s recycling programs will increase from $25 to $29 annually. In November 2010, nearly 70 percent of Leelanau County voters agreed to renew the recycling fee for the next 10 years at $29 per household, although the amount actually collected since 2006 has been just $25 per household. The higher fee will be reflected on December 2011 tax bills. The Leelanau County Solid Waste Council approved the higher fee Tuesday at its quarterly meeting without the benefit of a public hearing; no other action is required. A state law that Leelanau County officials lobbied unsuccessfully to change requires a township-by-township vote rather than a county-wide vote on recycling fees, as well as a 10-year term when recycling fees are renewed as they were in November 2010. Although a solid majority of Leelanau County voters approved the initial fee proposal countywide in 2006, the measure failed in four of the county’s 11 townships — Cleveland,

OUR 16-PAGE Diversions section provides a long look at a myriad of activities planned in Leelanau County for the Fourth of July.

Recycling in Leelanau • Prior to 2006: Recycling was paid through “tipping fees” charged to commercial waste haulers delivering trash to local landfills. As the volume of trash going into landfills dropped, and so did revenues to support the recycling program. • August 200: Voters in seven of 11 Leelanau County townships approved a $29 per household fee to pay for recycling programs, but only $25 was collected. • November 2010: Voters in all 11 townships approved the $29 per household annual fee, which will be collected for the next 10 years. Kasson, Solon and Bingham. The lack of unanimous participation prompted officials to employ another provision of state law that allowed collection of up to $25 per household with an “opt-out” provision for those who did not want to pay fees or use the recycling program in exempted townships. The 2006 vote also prompted the Solid Waste Council to apply a $25 per household fee county-wide rather than the $29 that had been authorized by voters in the seven other townships. In November 2010, a ballot proposal to collect (Concluded on Page 15)

Fourth of July signals start of real estate sales ‘season’ By Alan Campbell of Enterprise staff

Leelanau is a county without a car dealership, which helps explain why so many visitors over the Fourth of July weekend will be kicking dirt instead of tires. A combination of wide open spaces, crystal blue waters and lack of those things people want

to distance themselves from — including commercial areas with car dealers — has traditionally driven the Leelanau housing market. Many future county residents will be here this weekend. The influx has not gone unnoticed by real estate agents, according to Kim Pontius, executive vice president of the Traverse Area (Concluded on Page 15)

County may pull plug on courthouse land By Eric Carlson of the Enterprise staff

The Leelanau County Board of Commissioners appears ready to pull the plug on a plan to redevelop the site of the former county seat in downtown Leland. Following a closed session with a real estate attorney representing the Leelanau County Brownfield Redevelopment Authority (LCBRA), the county board decided Wednesday morning “to confer with ... litigation counsel regarding alternatives available to the county” following the private developer’s default on a $2.4 million land contract to purchase the 2-plus acre property from the county. The would-be developers of the site are longtime Leelanau County residents Jim Varley and Gene Kelly, doing business as Varley-Kelly Properties, L.L.C. Varley is a retired dentist. He and Kelly also own PDM Lumber Company in Bingham Township. In an email to the county board Tuesday night, Kelly explained that when he and his partner struck a deal with the county in 2007, they were unprepared to deal with “three years of process

and delays” related to township, county and state regulations for the site. They are also dealing with the nation’s worst economic and housing downturn since the Great Depression. In 2007, the partners agreed to work through the newly-formed LCBRA to redevelop the site, allowing them to take advantage of state and federal loans and grants as well as tax incentives to pay for demolition and cleanup of the old county courthouse, jail and other buildings on the site. Varley and Kelly also agreed to comply with the wishes of a Leland Township-sponsored committee which asked that the property be redeveloped into a highdensity residential neighborhood. Some reasonably priced homes that families with children could afford were included, as requested. Poor groundwater quality at the site, however, (Concluded on Page 15)

HELEN VIRGINIA WESTIE WETTERHOLT

Helen Westie Wetterholt, 93, died peacefully in Traverse City on Monday, May 9th. A long-time resident of Empire, Michigan and the Leelanau Peninsula, Helen was born at home in Dodgeville, Michigan on February 5, 1918 to Hjalmar Ojala Westie and Anna Sandell Westie. Helen spent her childhood in Dearborn and Rapid City and picked cherries during the depression on the Old Mission Peninsula. She was part of a large Finnish family and took great pride in her Finnish heritage. Helen was a 1936 graduate of Fordson High School in Dearborn. Helen went on to attend the University of Michigan from 1936 to 1940 and received a teaching certificate. She married her husband, George J. Wetterholt, in 1943 in Dearborn. Helen was a beloved English teacher in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. She especially enjoyed teaching seventh grade at Friends’ Central School in Philadelphia. Later, she had a catering business in California, and was for years a housemother for the Alpha Omicron Pi sorority at the University of Florida. It was during her teaching at Friends’ Central School that she developed her Quaker beliefs and spirituality. She regularly attended Quaker meetings in Gainesville, Florida. She was passionate about literature, music and the arts. She was often quoting poetry, attending classical music events in Philadelphia, Interlochen, Gainesville, and Traverse City, or writing. Though a teacher, she was a journalist at heart. In retirement, Helen was a contributor to the Glen Arbor Sun, giving vivid accounts of living Up North in northwestern Michigan. She also published a memoir and collection of stories titled Put Me in the Kip. Helen loved languages and traveled the world with George, and later with her many friends, nieces and granddaughters. She is fondly remembered as The Bumblebee because of her frequent travels in the United States and abroad. Helen never knew a stranger and thus easily made friends worldwide, especially in Europe. Her writing talent made her an avid letter writer, corresponding with family and overseas pen pals. She spent her retirement years in Empire near her beloved brothers, Charles and Frank Westie, and their families, while wintering in Gainesville, Florida. More recently, Helen lived at Glen Eagle Retirement home in Traverse City. Fittingly, her passing occurred while the trilliums were in bloom, her favorite Michigan season. Helen is survived by her son Dr. David (Annick Cristin) Wetterholt, of Saratoga, California, her daughter-in-law Sherrie Wetterholt of Bloomington, Indiana, two grandaughters, Kirstin (Michael) Maxwell of Martinsville, Indiana, and Laura Wetterholt, of Barcelona, Spain, and a great-granddaughter, Isabel Maxwell, of Martinsville. She was preceded in death by her parents, Hjalmar and Anna, her ex-husband, George Wetterholt, her son, Stuart Wetterholt, her two brothers, Charles M. Westie, Ph.D., and Frank R. Westie, Ph.D. Local and remote survivors include her sisters-in-law Ardith Westie, of Traverse City, and Margaret Westie of Glen Arbor and Naples, Florida, nieces Katharine Westie of Coral Gables, Florida and Glen Arbor, Anne Wiesen of Glen Arbor, Judith Weaver of Traverse City, Susan Westie Hilton, of Empire and Traverse City and Elizabeth Westie Brattin of Worcester, Massachusetts, Bonnie MacDonald of Phoenix and Empire, and nephews, Kurt Westie of Empire, John Westie of Jericho, Vermont and Daniel MacDonald of Phoenix. A celebration of her life will be held at 2:00 PM, July 17, at Empire Town Hall. All family and friends who can attend are invited. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Leelanau Conservancy, for the tremendous work they do to sustain and preserve the county or to her neighborhood church, the Gainesville, Florida Friends’ Meeting.

VIEWS

our opinion

The troubling ‘non-confidence’ vote County administrator Eric Cline, who clings to his job after a 4-3 vote of, essentially, non-confidence last week by the County Board of Commissioners, is a pretty nice guy. He puts in the hours required of his job, is friendly to co-workers and residents, and does what is needed to keep the doors open at the County Government Center. At least three commissioners are asking for more, and they’ve put Cline on notice that he’ll need to deliver in less than four months or start looking for employment elsewhere. Was the vote deserved? Is Mr. Cline really that bad of an administrator that he deserves to loose his job? That’s really not up to us to decide. Commissioners lose their jobs all the time. They face evaluations every two years in elections. When they perceive that things are not going smoothly, they push downward. And directly below commissioners is the county administrator. While we knew there had been rumblings over Mr. Cline’s performance, the vote surprised us. The make-up of the three commissioners who voted to let him go makes it clear that more than simple politics is at play. David Marshall from Glen Arbor has shown himself to be a levelheaded decision maker, one not to make rash conclusions. He’s the lone Democrat on the commission. Melinda Lautner, whose votes have shown her to lean further right than any other commissioner, joined him in voting to fire Mr. Cline. She’s not known as a consensus maker on the board. And David W. Shiflett falls somewhere in the middle. County Board chair Tom Van Pelt, who assumed his seat less than six months ago, cast the deciding vote — which may be more reflective of Mr. Van Pelt having a shorter time to evaluate Mr. Cline than confidence in his abilities. And no commissioners went out of their way to praise Mr. Cline. They voted — unanimously — to fire him in October if things don’t improve. Our evaluation of Mr. Cline would put him as a work in process. He was tediously slow in grasping the finances and politics at play in Leelanau County government after first starting, but seems now to better understand that his decisions must be timely, measured and, when needed, assertive. Those are not descriptions of Mr. Cline’s actions when he started. He was an assistant city manager for the City of Alpena before being tapped to help lead county government in September, 2009, and seemed uneasy in a leadership role. We believe that dissatisfaction with Mr. Cline has roots in an election held 11 months ago, which came 11 months after he was hired. Along with other commissioners, he counted on approval of a millage increase to fund 9-1-1 services. He joined commissioners in telling voters that the millage was needed to balance the county budget. That election held in August 2010 has become a pinacle moment in his tenure as county administrator, as county government was given a task by voters of cutting expenses to meet revenues rather than finding more sources of revenue to meet the needs of a growing county government. In one sense, Leelanau County government joined the nation in seeking survival rather than pushing for expansion. And Leelanau County is a long way from being out of trouble. More cuts will be needed to make ends meet. The county administrator should have an active role in reshaping county government, in grasping the economics and concepts at play to lead commissioners toward solid, long-range decisions. Many of these decisions will need to be made in the coming months leading toward approval of a 2012 budget. So commissioners will soon decide whether they want the help of Mr. Cline, or if they would be better off completing a budget without a county administrator on board. The hiring process stretched to one year before Mr. Cline took the job. Clearly we live in interesting times.

Celebrating our right to disagree It’s fitting on the Fourth of July to celebrate the wisdom of our Founding Fathers. Of course, we’re partial to the guarantee given to the press in the Bill of Rights, as was Benjamin Franklin. At 84, he was the oldest signer of the Bill of Rights. We found this excerpt of a speech he provided on the last day of the Constitutional Convention that explains his beliefs — and ours, for that matter — in encouraging open discussion. “For having lived long, I have experienced many instances of being obliged by better information, or fuller consideration, to change opinions even on important subjects, which I once thought right, but found to be otherwise. It is therefore that the older I grow, the more apt I am to doubt my own judgment, and to pay more respect to the judgment of others.”

Thanks for the Northport tour To The Editor: As I took part in the well-attended tour of Northport businesses last Thursday, it was clear that Northport is growing and there are smiling faces to be seen. The Northport-Omena Chamber of Commerce Business Tour was a great success. Participants were welcomed with an informational talk by the owners at North End Restaurant, Pennington Collection, Nature’s Gems, Dolls and More, The Boutique, Dee’s Corner Store, The Garage Door Restaurant and Willowbrook Gift Store. Thank you to the organizers of this event and, of course, thanks to all the proprietors for sharing their interesting and educational experiences. And thanks also, to Mother Nature, for not raining on our parade. Carol Borzymowski Omena

G-L schools have been good to me To The Editor: As I enter the last few days of my educational career, I feel it important to publicly thank and acknowledge Glen Lake Schools and the wonderful families of this area. I am so grateful to have spent the last 10 years at Glen Lake School. Every day I witnessed education at its finest. My fellow colleagues are dedicated and loving teachers, administrators, clerical and teaching assistants, coaches, bus drivers, custodians, food service folks, computer techs and counselors. This is a place where student’s needs are always a priority, in every situation. I love and admire that this school is the hub of community activity; sporting events, concerts, plays and award ceremonies draw folks together as one, to be a part of the Laker tradition. I couldn’t be prouder to have been a small part of this community. Thank you to all for sharing your children and becoming a part of my life. I leave here as one happy retiree!!!

Twitter: A new and instant love

I am trapped in a new-age love triangle. Don’t tell the paper, but I’ve developed quite a crush on a sweet little bird — Twitter. She may seem flighty at first, but Twitter has a certain magic to her. She can bring you news about any topic and from any person or organization you want to follow, and she does it instantly. Or if you have something you want to say to the world, Twitter can help send your message. Granted, you have to do so in 140 characters. But there is beauty in brevity, don’t forget. With such limited space, you have to choose your phrasing carefully and no longer have the luxury of rambling. By including a link to another web page, all you have to do is catch somebody’s attention and, voila, your job is done. Don’t get me wrong, I haven’t always felt this way about Twitter. Until a few months ago I found her gossipy and fickle, and I assumed she would quickly pass away from the ever-changing world of social media. When she does, I will most likely be stubbornly holding on to her the way I am holding on to the printed word in your hands. I didn’t start tweeting until my grade depended on it, and even then I was reluctant. I am a serious journalist, thank you, and will not be bothered with something as common as “tweeting.” But not long after we met, Twitter and I fell instantly in love. It was May 1, and President Obama was going to make an announcement. I knew it would be big news, and I was completely nerding out over the possibilities (sometimes current event coverage does that to me). Rather than gluing myself to a news station or refreshing the CNN home page every three seconds, I just pulled up CNN’s Twitter page and waited. Soon, a new tweet popped up, announcing that Osama Bin Laden had been assassinated. It was the delivery more than the content of the announcement that struck me. I had just gotten breaking international news from Twitter, of all things. Sometimes she makes my toes curl.

I know she doesn’t have the greatest among the A column reputation print news junkies, by but I think Twitter needs to be taken Carol seriously. An imporThompson tant element of news is to be part of the community and give it a chance to speak. With Twitter, you can get your thoughts, reactions and ideas right under the nose of politicians, news editors, companies and just about whoever you want to speak to. The power of “@” and “#” is unbelievable. Twitter allows you to spread breaking news in real time in a way that newspapers, bloggers and broadcasters can’t. Protesters in Egypt tweeted photos and updates about what was happening inside the revolution, giving us information straight from the source. They weren’t polished stories with traditional inverted-pyramid introductions or standardized type styles, but the news was interesting and coming in real time. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think citizen journalism can replace us. Somebody with ethical standards has to follow up the breaking-news coverage with in-depth, investigative reporting. But ignoring the power of Twitter and other social media is a mistake. Have I convinced you yet? Are you ready to get your tweet on? Here are some tips to get you started: • Follow people who interest you. Do you like golf? recycling? reading? photography? fly fishing? For whatever topic you’re interested in, there’s an expert out there tweeting about it. • Send interesting tweets. Nobody wants to read about what you eat for breakfast, no matter how good it is. • Don’t over-tweet. Unless you’re actually witnessing something unbelievable, don’t send constant updates. • You have limited space, so use it wisely. I know it’s unprofessional to abbreviate words, but sometimes you have to be resourceful. • Don’t forget to tweet. If you see something happening, like a fire, a winning game, or a speech, let the world know. Use # or @ symbols to help spread your tweet beyond the confines of your followers. For more from Carol, find her on Twitter as thompsoncarolk.

Legislators representing the county helped pass a new state budget well before the new fiscal year. Do you support their work? 50% — Yes. This legislature proved budgets can be vetted and approved well before the new fiscal year begins in October. 50% — No. The governor and his Republican cronies just shoved a poorly thought-out budget down our throats. 0 — I don’t know, I don’t follow state politics. Next week we’ll ask readers in our online poll: What is your favorite thing to do in Leelanau County on the Fourth of July?

Capt. Agema pushes governor to fly his colors When the FAA decided it was safe to send airplanes back into the skies following 9-11, at Chicago O’Hare airport, the first pilot down the runway for American Airlines was senior captain Dave Agema. He wanted to pack a .38 in the cockpit just in case there were some left over terrorists he could plug, but his superiors told him no. “Fly Boy Agema” has now landed in the Michigan legislature where he carries his same “take no hostages” attitude which often puts him at odds with those who do not share his ultraconservative passions. Item: Immigration. Mention it in front of the West Michigan Republican and then step back. It’s like dangling red meat in front of a shark. Now he’s tangling with the Michigan Chamber of Commerce, the Small Business Association and the Michigan Farm Bureau over his so-called E-verify proposal which blew up in committee the other day. Agema thinks it’s a good idea for businesses to use a federal computer program to verify if any “illegal’s” are applying for work. He sights thousands of businesses that have already done it on a voluntary basis at little cost, he says. His bill does not impact business but is limited to state government contractors and the like which is why he’s hopping mad at the farm lobby. “The Farm Bureau helped me draft the bill” and then at the last minute, “It flipped on me.” He says the bureau was worried about asparagus farmers who didn’t like the plan. A frustrated Mr. Agema explains they are not effect but the farmers still opposed the bill. He also ran into flack from a fellow Republican, Rep. Jeff Farrington (R-Utica) who hung Agema out to dry. Agema has been a long-time basher of anything that even smells like government expansion. Hence Farrington lectured his conservative colleague on how this bill would do just that. “You of all people,” he lamented as he looked Mr. Agema right in the eye. Mr. A. is battling other windmills including one with his GOP governor Rick Snyder. For openers let’s just say the two are not cut from the same cloth so when Mr. Agema used a higher education budget bill to do a little social engineering, it got the governor’s attention. Mr. Agema wanted to force Michigan State University, the University of Michigan and Wayne State to give back money to the state if they continued to funnel health care

All types of services for all types of people.

coverage to employees who had livein and non-married partners. Same-sex relationships are just like immigration. He wants no part of them either. The governor, coyly, never took a stance on the penalty per se, but declared the language “unenforceable” because it was unconstitutional and that was that. Well not quite. The conservative legislator is now back with a bill to do the same thing which may force the governor to endorse it and win conservative applause or if he vetoes it, he’ll get a chorus of cat calls instead. Asked what he would do, the governor ducked behind the old camouflage, “I don’t answer hypothetical questions” which is code for don’t bother me with this stuff and I don’t want to tell you what I would do cause it might hacked somebody off. Undaunted Captain Agema is on another mission to force the governor to show his true political colors one way or the other.

letters to the editor

Treasurer corrects the record To The Editor: In last week’s issue, the Enterprise reported “a clean audit for Leelanau County, meaning that county taxpayers can have highest level of assurance that their money is being accounted for properly.” With that statement from the auditors, the taxpayers of Leelanau County should feel secure in knowing that their money is being accounted for properly. I am a responsible person and will take the “heat” when justified. What was not justified: • The Auditors overstated the number of corrections. They reported there were 68. Factually there were 50, (13 of these appear annually) that is 10% less than in the 2009 audit. • The treasurer’s office may not have been ready for the auditors, but did not hold up the audit. The audits stated that the audit would have been presented six to seven weeks sooner if the County had the proper post employment benefits information. • The $10,000 reported as a deposit in a bank account is a liability discrepancy between the county and the State of Michigan carried over from previous years. I am proud of the improvements my administration has brought to the department and will continue to correct any problems that exist or existed before my tenure. Chelly M. Roush Leelanau County Treasurer E. Government Center Dr. Suttons Bay

Health Department is doing its job To The Editor: Recently the Enterprise reported on the Leelanau Clean Water presentation to the Board of Commissioners. I would like to correct some of the impressions left, notably some remarks from one commissioner. The Health Department inspects failing septic systems when they are reported, either by the owner or by an interested party. It cannot go onto private property without authorization, either by the property owner or via a complaint from another party. The Benzie-Leelanau Health Department is exemplary in following the law and respecting property rights. It is a slur from a Leelanau County Commissioner to imply that the Health Department, under strong leadership from its director Bill Crawford, is not doing its job. Our Health Department is rated number 2 in the State of Michigan by our having one of the healthiest counties, namely Leelanau County. The commissioner who made the derogatory remarks,served on Board of Health and was instrumental in forming the Health Department so this commissioner should not have made such ubsubtantiated and offensive remarks. I would encourage all county residents to read the recorded minutes via the county website. Mary Tonneberger Member, Benzie-Leelanau Board of Health E. Duck Lake Rd., Lake Leelanau

Library re-opens with many thanks

LIBRARY VOLUNTEER Jim Shannahan, standing left, chats with contractor Pete Leabo who did much of the revonovation work at the Suttons Bay-Bingham District Library. Trying out the library’s newly configured computer room at right is Zachary Krantz who was misidentified in a photo caption accompanying a story about the project in the Enterprise last week. To The Editor: As the saying goes, it takes a village to move a library so the building may be renovated — well, not exactly. Exactly it takes a small army of volunteers, good patrons, visitors, children who love books, young adults who need community service hours — or not, a couple of troops of Boy Scouts, Suttons Bay School, Friends of the Library, the Suttons Bay-Bingham District Library Book Group, The Library Board of Trustees, and a really hard working staff. Oh, and some very good neighbors, grocers, pharmacies, and package stores from Acme to Suttons Bay who regularly saved boxes (lots of boxes) that would normally get crushed, regularly repeated to customers SBBDL’s call for volunteers, and fed troops when they were there to pack up the materials, move them and all the fixtures, furnishings and shelving, and then move it again and again as the interior was painted and walls, cabinets, front desk, and flooring were removed and installed. In the middle of the whole thing, the Suttons Bay Garden Club came and placed a beautiful planter in the front of the library and mulched the front garden beds. Many came back day after day, making it a temporary full-time job or better for the weeks the library was closed, frequently showing up when least

expected and most needed, as if in answer to prayer, doing heavy and tiring work, sometimes into the evening after the “day job” was done, always asking what more they could do and how else they could help. There are enough words to thank them — even if words were sufficient. All I know is when the Suttons Bay-Bingham District Library needed them; they were there, with gloves, screwdrivers, muscles, boxes, storage space, know-how, ideas, baked treats and good humor. These dedicated folks donated as much with their time organizations who helped fund and make the renovation possible, Rotary Charities of Grand Traverse, The Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, the Friends of Suttons-Bay Bingham District Library, and private donors. The project would have never happened without you, and certainly would never have looked so good when completed. It took a village, and two townships, Suttons Bay and Bingham, and a number of visiting others to move a library. And because of them, your Suttons Bay-Bingham Library is now open for everyone. (You can return the library books you checked out to help out the renovated effort, now, thanks). I truly hope you like it. Virginia Roberts Library Director Front St., Suttons Bay

more letters to the editor

Treatment of Cline is sad commentary To The Editor: I am saddened by the humiliating disrespect shown toward administrator Eric Cline by our county commissioners regarding Mr Cline’s performance evaluation. The Organization Development field, in which I hold a Master’s degree, recognizes only three causes for performance problems. 1. Analysis is conducted by asking these questions: Is it a training problem? (The standard test to apply is this: 2. Could Mr. Cline do what is required if his life depended on it? If he could, sorry to say Commissioner Lautner, it is not a training problem. 3. Does Administrator Cline want to perform with excellence? Is he motivated to do so? All reports say yes. By default if he passes the above questions, then the problem is determined to be environmental - meaning there are undiagnosed organizational problems outside Mr. Cline’s span of control that need to be fixed. Systemic problems within the government unit are making peak performance impossible. Most performance problems fall in this category and training is not the answer. I would also be curious about the criteria and method of measurement used in the written instrument used to rank Mr. Cline’s performance. Most Performance Evaluation instruments are poorly constructed. Jackie Freeman W. Race Street, Suttons Bay

To The Editor: If you still have doubts about the honesty/integrity of our current president after seeing the people he associates with or the czars he appoints, then just watch the newspapers and see what little bits of information occasionally pop up. I know it’s hard to believe that someone living for 20 years in Chicago, known as the be all end all place for crooked politics, could possibly do anything unethical but who knows! Just notice his 20 years in a church that’s a bit questionable and you’re called insulting names for noticing and to this day his interactions with proud admitted terrorists and communists may look even more questionable but again you’re insulted for noticing. OK, just what would you call taking $500,000 in contributions from a company vice president/shareholder, who then gets back millions of dollars in “stimulus contracts” and an ambassadorship appointment to South Africa? I’d call it a in your face crooked “kick back” and then I’d be called insulting names and I’d really be called offensive names if I told you this is just one of 200 such deals in two years. You can call it anything you want but if it walks like a duck, it is a duck! Just another day in the life of and a snapshot of our fly around, never in the office, fundraising party president who holds your fate and the country’s in the palm of his hands. Doesn’t this make you feel all warm and fuzzy? Mary L Bowen Omena

Bear warning should be sign of times To The Editor: Let me see if I understand your editorial of June 9 regarding warning signs of possible bear encounters in the Park. There has been a confirmed increase in sightings and encounters out here, but you apparently are wary of placing signs in the Park that would warn/advise/inform visitors about bears. Your fear is that the signs will hurt the local economy? Correct me if I’ve interpreted this wrongly. Now, I’ll concede the arguable posting of cougar warning signs of a few years ago though I think, if I were managing the Park, I’d still want to err on the side of visitor protection. Bear encounters, however, are much more likely. Wouldn’t we want to warn Joe and Jane Fudge from Chicago that the trail they and their children are following has recurrent Ursid visitors? How many people would know what to do if they encountered a bear? It seems that signage, at least in the highest risk areas, that informs the visitor and instructs them how to behave during an encounter is prudent. I support our local businesses strongly but your opinion and its rationale seem pretty myopic. How would the business community fare (not to mention a failed moral duty) if a visitor was injured and the area developed the reputation as being a ‘dangerous’ area not to be visited on holiday?

To The Editor: Thank you for the great article you had in the paper about Northport Sally. I was so glad to see she got some recognition she so well deserves. Instead of just setting back at 81 she remains an activist that should be an inspiration to a lot of young people, after all they are the ones who will inherit what we do to this area and this earth, let your voices be heard! She has proven through Friends of the Crystal River that your voice can be heard if you just stick with it and gather knowledgeable people to help. Now she is on the case of these so called Emergency Financial Managers, a very frightening idea that must be nipped in the bud. How very sad that someone who dislikes her expression of Peace finds it necessary to cut ropes on her flag pole. Can’t people disagree with something, but realize theirs is not the only opinion. Why destroy and not think to yourself,” it’s not my cup of tea but it is what someone else believes in.” Only then will we have the kind of understanding for our fellow mankind the Sally is working for. You go girl!!! David Chrobak W. Third Street, Northport

Mike Groves had used a 1982 ladder truck to pump water to the snow-making equipment at Timberlee Hills’ Banquet Hall and Snow Tube Run in Elmwood Township. Now, Groves has a “new” pumper truck, a 1983 Grumman that he bought for $3,325 from Elmwood Township. Groves was the highest bid of three the township received. “I’m always looking at fire trucks. This one is neat in that it was used in the township and will be a nice addition here at Timberlee,” Groves said. Groves bought the truck because the pump went out on the 1982 truck. “It’s originally from Cincinnati. A fellow there had been collecting fire trucks for a while and his son was selling off some of the collection. I picked up that pumper and had been using it for quite

some time,” Groves said. “To repair the pump costs about as much as it did buying the truck.” The older truck had a ladder that went up about 85 feet. “You could spray the water from up there,” Groves said, although he never used the ladder for snow-making purposes. “I really hate to part with the truck, it has been with us for a while.” When weather conditions are optimal for making snow, Groves said he needs a pump that can push water through the guns at a consistent rate of 120 gallons a minute. “The pump on this truck can pump out 600 gallons per minute. It’s not just about how much water you can pump, there has to be pressure as well. But, this pump will more than meet our needs,” he said.

The new truck will also be used a “an eye catcher” for the family’s kettle corn business. Groves said he plans on keeping the Elmwood Township Volunteer Fire Department logo on the truck as long as possible. “Other historic fire trucks I’ve seen have the name of the department they are from on the side. That is part of what makes them so unique,” he said.

Inspections for liquor licenses approved — when requested Leland Township Fire Chief Mike Fandel will be conducting fire inspections related to applicants for liquor control licenses, but only when requested. At a special meeting Monday, the Leland Township Board voted 4-0 with clerk Jane Keen absent to add “inspections” to the township fire and rescue department’s scope of duties. The board also amended the fire chief’s job description to include conducting “inspections, if requested, for commercial entities.” In a phone report, supervisor Harry Larkin said the board held a lengthy discussion about the third item on the special meeting’s agenda, adoption of the International Fire Code that would guide the optional inspections. Leland Township Fire Chief Mike Fandel said the board authorized him to use the International Fire Code as a guideline, thereby not requiring the board to adopt code. “What everyone needs to take away from this action is we will only do these liquor control inspections a requested by the regulatory agency. We won’t be doing inspections on our own, we will have to receive a request from someone in a position of authority,” he said. A change in Michigan Liquor Control Commission regulations requires any new liquor license applicant to have a fire inspection done before the license is approved. The regulation includes oneday or short-term license requests, which means community events such as the Cedar Polka Fest or the upcoming Northport Wine and Food Festival may be required to have inspections. Larkin was asked to seek direction from the county. “The board directed me to talk to the Sheriff about if the county Sheriff’s Department would charge to conduct these liquor control inspections,” Larkin said. The Leland Township Board first discussed the issue at its June 11 regular meeting at the request of Fandel. The ultimate responsibility for fire inspections falls with the Michigan State Police Fire Marshals Office. But the state agen-

cy has few employees that could require scheduling inspections 6-9 months prior to the event. However, Fandel said, most sponsors of community events seeking liquor licenses don’t take possession of their physical facilities more than a day or two in advance. Scheduling an inspection nine months ahead of time is not feasible. “This is something we as a department want to provide to our residents. Again, an inspection would only take place if it is requested,” he said. In unrelated business, the board voted 4-0 to issue a temporary vendors permit to the Suttons Bay/Leelanau Rotary Club for the sale of food and drink before and during the Leland July 4 Parade. The club plans to set up a stand at the Village Green in Leland.

Leland landmark poplar tree shows signs of age The fabled poplar tree that has adorned River Street in Leland for more than a century has three dead branches on it, causing renewed concern that it may be dying. Road Commission members viewed the branches after returning from a tour of the Manitou Islands last week. Commission chair Lee Bowen said dead branches hang over the old print shop and River Street. A third branch goes straight up. The commission has an agreement with the Leland Tree Committee to provide maintenance for the tree. The agreement was reached in 2009 after the Road Commission withdrew plans to remove the tree because dead limbs had dropped on vehicles and businesses. The community group was formed to help the popular landmark survive. It’s listed as a Michigan Championship Tree. Donations to save the tree may be sent to Leland Champion Tree, in case of Huntington National Bank in Leland.

DON MILLER, Glen Lake’s legendary basketball coach, makes a point with boys and girls at the 35th annual Leelanau County Basketball Camp.

Miller and kids keep summer hoops program going strong Anyone who knows anything about Don Miller understands that “quit” is not in his vocabulary. However, he’s been known to repeat the words RESPECT and SPORTSMANSHIP over and over again — and that he did again last week at the 35th annual Leelanau County Basketball Camp. Miller, the long-time hall of fame basketball coach at Glen Lake, went into the 2011 camp with the thought that it might be the last. Attendance had been falling, and, frankly, he seemed to be growing tired of fighting against the distractions that siphon young wouldbe athletes from hardcourts. “I always get revitalized,” said Miller, after barking out his last words at the camp. Its theme was “35 years of fundamentals” — and certainly participants practiced their share of them over the five days of the camp. “It just gets me geeked,” Miller

added. “The numbers went up. It’s starting to come back.” Rest assured, Laker faithful, that Miller plans to continue the tradition well into the future. Some 130 boys and girls attended the camp this year, a number bolstered by the addition of high school athletes to the mix. If Miller provides a solid foundation for the camp, Chip Fryer has been a reliable fixture. An admitted bench player for Laker teams in the mid1980’s, Fryer has helped at the camp in all but one year since graduating. He’s a teacher at Sylvan Learning Center — but still took time out to help. He made the daily drive from Traverse City. Why? “I love the game,” said Fryer, whose five-year-old son Carson attended this year. “I love watching the kids develop and grow not just as players, but as people.” Odds are, he’ll have plenty more chances to help guide the lives of young athletes in future years.

St. Mary coach Jim Varley said the good news for the Eagles is most of the team is returning. Two seniors played this season, Mitchell Herman and Connor Loberg from Leland, but the St. Mary/Leland teamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; top scorers should return. From Leland, Paul Bardenhagen, brothers JR and Ian Duvall are expected back as well as St. Mary students Joe Pendergast and Nick Shaffran. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will miss our seniors, but having Paul, Joe, Nick and Duvall brothers back, we should be good again,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the goals we set for ourselves next year is to embrace all challenges and get back to the state final.â&#x20AC;? The Suttons Bay team has been young all year.

County golf season almost up to par When the boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; golf season began in April, the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three high school teams were aiming for a repeat of last year when Glen Lake, St. Mary and Suttons Bay all advanced to the Division IV state finals. When the season wrapped up two weeks ago, only Glen Lake and St. Mary were fortunate enough to make it to state championship. The Lakers took fifth while the Eagles were 10th. Only Matt Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien of Glen Lake earned a medal at the event, tying for sixth with a two-day score of 153. With the season over, all three coaches had a chance to reflect on this season and look forward to the next. With five seniors on his team, Glen Lake coach Fred Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien said those guys will be tough to replace. His son Matt is a three-time All State honoree and was one of the team leaders through out the season. The other seniors were Collin Richard, Nate Peplinski, Brandon JacobsNewman and Aaron Abramson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve coached these seniors for the last three years. They have all played outstanding golf for Glen Lake and we will miss them,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I did take some time on the last day of the state final to watch Matt play his final two holes.

Suttons Bay mushroom hunter finds 12-inch white

TRAVERSE CITY'S Tessa Rohloff, granddaughter of Lawrence Coveyou of Suttons Bay, sits at a table near a 12-inch mushroom Coveyou found hunting on a farm just north of M-204 in Lake Leelanau earlier this month.

Lawrence Coveyou found a 12-inch white morel earlier this month while mushroom hunting in a wooded farm near Lake Leelanau. “It was strange,” said Coveyou, who is a longtime mushroom hunter. “I was looking around and I think I just screamed.” Coveyou, who lives in Suttons Bay, has hunted many parts of the county but never found anything over nine inches in the county. “It was like wow! It was really scary.” Coveyou measured the big mushroom and gave it to his daughter, Hollie Coveyou-Rohloff, and granddaughter, Tessa. “It’s the biggest thrill I’ve ever had hunting them,” he said. Coveyou usually hunts south of Suttons Bay in the early part of the season. “I go every day right til the end of the season,” Coveyou said. “It was a pretty good season.”

Coveyou found the mushroom behind a half-dead ash tree. His daughter thought about preserving the mushroom in formaldehyde, but opted instead to throw it in a skillet with some others, with some salt and butter, and eat it. Coveyou went back to the same spot a couple of times, hoping to find some of the big mushroom’s relatives. “I was hoping there’d be another coming out, but there wasn’t,” said Coveyou, who spent the tail end of the season searching the Northport area.

A loophole in state law could allow students in one county school to earn an associate’s degree by the time they graduate from high school. The Suttons Bay Board of Education voted Monday to enter a cooperative agreement with Northwestern Michigan College (NMC) through which district students could receive a post-high school degree. Provisions in the law, which adopted the more stringent Michigan Merit Curriculum, allow high school seniors a “13th year” to complete the required course work to graduate. “The idea with the Michigan Merit program is to allow students an additional year needed to complete requirements,” Suttons Bay Superintendent Mike Murray said. “So if a student is one credit short of graduating, they could have another year, during which they could take that course and the remainder at NMC.” The school has taken a more flexible approach in recent years, allowing those students who need extra time to take it and students who work at a faster pace to accelerate their studies. In the latter case, students have also taken college courses for credit. Murray explained that the expectation is that students who wish to pursue the “13th year” option could take college

courses during grades 10 , 11 and 12 allowing at least one credit unfulfilled — short for graduation. During the “13th year,” they could complete their high school studies with the remainder of their Student Foundation Allowance, applied to tuition at the community college. “So by the time they graduate in June of the 13th year, they would have their high school diploma and an associate’s degree from NMC,” Murray explained. The program could be a major draw for Suttons Bay, which recently fell to No. 2 in the county in K-12 enrollment. Under Proposal A, in-formula school districts such as Suttons Bay are paid a Student Foundation Allowance for each student taught by the district. “With the cost of college at $20 to $25,000 per year or more, if students can complete their first two years (of college) and be living in a supportive home environment they can save a substantial amount of money,” Murray said. “Those whose careers only require an associate’s degree can complete it locally. Others can go on to university to work on their major and minor.” Just what are the potential savings for families choosing to go this route? Based on proposed out-of-district tuition rates, which the NMC board was scheduled to act upon June 27, an associate’s degree requiring 64 credits would cost $10,201. For county residents who own prop-

erty in Grand Traverse County (within district), tuition for the associate’s degree would be $5,254, based on the 3 percent increase under consideration by the board this week. “It’s possible to put two years in at NMC debt free,” Trustee Roger Merriman said. Murray said the arrangement would further an alliance between the high school instructors and those of NMC. Suttons Bay teachers could provide the material and assign papers at the direction of the NMC instructor. Then the student work would be evaluated by the NMC staff to validate whether the student has done college level work. The NMC board of directors was scheduled to act on the cooperative agreement with Suttons Bay Monday night. Murray said the agreement must also be approved by the State Department of Education. “It’s a loophole, but it does what they’re asking us to do … to raise the bar and make sure our students are prepared for the future,” Murray said. “We’re looking out of the box.” The superintendent said he hopes to receive approval from the MDOE yet this summer to allow the program to begin this fall. “I’m happy you pursued this partnership with NMC,” said Trustee John Zackman, an instructor at the community college. “It’s a great thing to be able to offer our students.”

Murray said several students are also enrolling at the school as a result of several positive developments at the school — including the success of its robotics program. The increase in numbers is expected to offset the $490-cut in per pupil foundation allowing with revenue coming in just about where it was this year at $7.2 million. Local property tax revenue of $3,151,173 is anticipated with an additional $3,061,195 state revenue, according to the budget. Some $626,979 in federal revenue is expected in 2011-2012 along with $220,000 coming from other political subdivisions. School districts have a little more control on the expense side of their budgets. For example, two full-time high school teachers are going to part-time. In addition, a smaller kindergarten enrollment has allowed the district to cut back to one section of kindergarten. However, Murray said the position will be “added back” if warranted by enrollment. Total costs for instruction are identified at just over $4 million in the coming budget year. Meanwhile, support services are expected to come in at $2,987,105. A small shortfall will require the district to dip into its drastically low fund balance to the tune of $5,000. This is expected to leave a nest egg of just $14, 833 by June 30, 2012. At this time last year, the fund balance

was estimated to be about $60,000 at the end of the current school year. What happened? “We used some of our fund balance to support food service. Other parts went to support special needs students whose ‘needs’ were not anticipated,” Murray said. “We also added a section of third/ fourth grade because enrollment made the class sizes larger than we wanted.” Not included the new budget is a food service fund. Earlier this year, the school board voted to contract with the Traverse City Area Public Schools for this service. “We expect to save $40,000 as a result,” Murray said. In other business Monday the board: • Learned that the school district was selected as one of three winners in the state Department of Education “drop off” challenge, recognizing the district’s success in “re-engaging” students who had quit school, Murray said. • Adopted three millage rates for the summer taxes. Eighteen mills will be collected for operations; 3.9 mills for debt and one-quarter mill for this district’s sinking fund. • Accepted the resignation of 21-year elementary teacher Tammy Knudsen; 15-year Title I paraprofessional Teresa Mattis and girls basketball coach Laurie LaCross. –by Amy Hubbell

Growth among its virtual classroom population, eliminating some teaching positions and contracting out food services were included in the Suttons Bay school district’s 2011-2012 budget adopted this week. The Board of Education voted Monday to adopt its spending plan for the new budget year which begins Friday. The budget is based on a lower Student Foundation Allowance (SFA) than the current budget year ($6,846 vs. $7,356 last year). However, more students will be included in the blended per pupil count due to an increase in students participating in Suttons Bay’s online learning. The current budget was built on an enrollment of 713 students. The 2011-2012 plan estimates an enrollment of 760. “The extra students are from our virtual school,” said Superintendent Mike Murray, whose district is one of a handful in the state to receive a “seat time” waiver from the state Board of Education. The waiver allows the district to include in its enrollment those students receiving instruction from the district, although they may not physically be in the Suttons Bay facility. Suttons Bay provides online instruction to students in Jackson, Mich. “In Jackson, the DaVinci Academy is closing a portion of its operation, and we expect 40 (students) from that source,” Murray said.

KONRAD MOLTER

as athletic director for six years and also served as assistant principal (district wide) for social studies and foreign language. Molter’s experience also includes directing TCAPS “shared time” program with Grand Traverse Area Catholic Schools and Traverse City Christian in which the public school district provides instruction to private school studies in non-core subject areas. In addition, he was the coordinator of T-C West’s honors convocation; graduation and special education. Molter, 45, was a golf caddy in high school and attended Michigan State University on a “full ride” as an Evans scholar. The scholarship is open to former caddies and based on a criteria of scholarship, fellowship, and leadership. After earning a bachelor’s degree in

G-L new budget includes $9.2 million in revenues Revenue totaling $9.2 million was identified in the 2011-2012 budget adopted this week by the Glen Lake Board of Education. The school board, during a special meeting Tuesday night, adopted a spending plan for the new budget year which begins Friday. During the current budget year the district was anticipating just $9.5 million in revenue. Anticipated revenue for 20112012 includes $1,694,674 in federal Impact Aid for lost property taxes resulting from the creation of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park. This payment, retroactive to 2007 and 2008, was received in March and April of this year. “We take the most conservative approach with these funds. We receive them in one year and budget them the next,” Superintendent Joan Groening said. The last time the district had received this funding was during the 2008-2009 school year when it totaled $1.3 million. While the money from the program had been allocated by Congress, the disbursement was slowed due to a hiring freeze in the federal government that has left the Department of Education short-handed, school officials said. Without the $1.7 in impact aid, Glen Lake would be in dire straits similar to those being navigated by Suttons Bay and Leland — the county’s two in-formula districts — this year with revenue estimated at $7.5 million. “The impact aid went to our fund balance and we’ll need to take $2,447,355 from fund balance to equal out revenue and expenses,” Groening said. For the fifth consecutive year, board members considered budget parameters that did not include revenue in the form of state per-pupil foundation allowance. Due to the high property value of acreage within the school district and a decline in student numbers, Glen Lake went from “in formula” to “out of formula”, a few years ago, essentially reducing the impact of enrollment on the budget and its dependency on state funding for operations. To be sure the district doesn’t bring in more School of Choice (SOC) students than it can support within its budget, Glen Lake caps class sizes throughout the K-12 school. Local property taxes on non-homestead, non-qualified Agricultural property are expected to generate $6,822,355 based on a levy of 15.0696 mills. The revenue side of the budget includes

$200,000 in state aid; $67,049 in athletic receipts; $275,000 in federal and state “categoricals”; and $81,945 in special education millage collected by the Intermediate School District. In addition, $275,528 will be transferred from the district’s construction/technology fund to cover the cost of computer purchases this summer. Total expenses for the coming school year are $9.9 million, according to the spending plan. “We face the same financial constraints the in-formula schools do, but with the federal government,” Groening said, adding that funds for this type of aid are expected to last through 2012. “After that, all bets are off.” An estimated $6.9 million are identified for basic programs and support services, up from $6.1 million this year.

Konrad Molter’s daily work commute has been cut in half. A Leland resident and former assistant principal at Traverse City West, Molter was named Glen Lake’s new secondary principal this week by the Glen Lake Board of Education. “My commute is 17 minutes from door to door,” he said. “At West, it was 30-35 minutes each way.” Molter, a native of Livonia, brings wide and varied career experience to the post which has been empty since Kevin Kelly abruptly quit in April, without notice. Kelly’s departure marked the end of a tumultuous year that included a dispute between him and Superintendent Joan Groening which divided the school and community at large. Molter monitored the situation in the county weekly. “Being the new guy in the system, I want to come in and make positive change for folks,” said the principal, who was scheduled to meet today with Glen Lake staff. “I respect the things they’ve been through.” Molter cited the amazing job the district has done historically with students test scores. “I’m not trying to flip the apple cart … I bring a lot to the table that is good for kids and good for education,” he said. “Sometimes it’s refreshing to have someone new to breathe new life into a program.” Molter has worn many hats in the Traverse City Area Public School system over the past 13 years. He served

English and history in East Lansing, he attended Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti for his education degree. Since 2006, the secondary principal’s position at Glen Lake has included a large role as disciplinarian. Molter doesn’t shy away from this task. “In my 13 years at TCAPS, which included 6 as (athletic director), my experience in this area ran the gamut grades 7-12,” he said. Molter’s career has also included time spent in a suburban Washington D.C. school as the “conflict resolution” teacher, who worked with people to help each appreciate the other’s perspective. How will students perceive Molter when they return to classes next fall? “I’m approachable,” said Molter, adding he is often mistaken for a physical education teacher rather than an English teacher or school administrator. “I do a lot to get into whatever the kids are doing. “If I’m playing basketball with staff before school, it won’t be long before kids join us. I like to have fun.” Molter and his wife, Michelle Brown, a third grade teacher at Long Lake Elementary, have a 9-year-old daughter, Maggie and a 3½ year-old son, Bok, who attends the Children’s House across the road from Traverse City West. Molter, the youngest of five siblings, considers himself a “genuine” person. “My dad was a salesman at Sears and was always honest and up front with people,” he said. “That’s what he taught me to be.” Molter’s 3-year employment contract will pay him $91,000 annually, Groening said.

State cherries expected up over last year but local growers unsure of their yields Frederickson said the bigger fruit makes orchards look more bountiful than they actually are, and that although there are cherries on his trees, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not as close together as usual. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It looks like thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s some fruit on the trees, but when you really start going up the limb thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as many as you think there are,â&#x20AC;? Frederickson said. The Cherry Industry Administrative Board (CIAB) made an estimate of the Northern Michigan yield based on estimates from board members, the National Agricultural Statistics Service and the Michigan Frozen Food Packers Association. Estimates varied substantially, from 140 million pounds to 117 million pounds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pretty good spread amongst the players about what the crop size is in Northern Michigan,â&#x20AC;? said Perry Hedin, CIAB executive director.

Glen Arbor tourney crowns net champs The Glen Arbor Park Commission held the Glen Arbor Days Tennis Tournament last weekend, hosting 76 players in a number of tennis competitions. The event was a fund-raiser for the Kids Summer Camp held at the town park in Glen Arbor. Winner of the senior menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roundrobin singles was Dale Van Houzen. Winners in the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doubles competition were Molly Midgley and McKenzie Magee. Kim Guilbeau and Joe Katona claimed the mixed doubles while Mike Schanhals and Rick Schanhals took the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doubles. In youth 10-and-over, Max Guilbeau and Beverly Sutherland were victors while Tommy Schanhals and Macaira Midgley were winners in

veying area growers, but the perspectives of those surveyed can affect the projected numbers. Crops vary within Northern Michigan, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard for any individual to say what's happening in the rest of the region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That colors the projections a bit,â&#x20AC;? Hedin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You tend to localize your perspective and project from that.â&#x20AC;? But a prediction is a prediction, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still plenty of time for weather and other factors to change production numbers. Grant is hoping for dry, cool weather to help keep his fruit healthy enough to get a good price. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just hoping we can sell our cherries,â&#x20AC;? Grant said. Hedin is optimistic about sales this year, which have been increasing since 2002. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That all has a positive consequence to the industry,â&#x20AC;? Hedin said.

The limb-breaker cherry season has turned into more of a limb-bender. Michigan growers will yield 210 million pounds of tart cherries and 38 million pounds of sweet cherries this year, according to a USDA forecast made on June 23. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a higher amount than 2010, but still less than was anticipated early in the season. Although no official predictions have been made about Leelanau Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crop, growers from the area are unsure about this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yield and quality. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably one of the most trying years weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had so far,â&#x20AC;? said Joe Grant, a grower in Bingham Township. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With all the rain, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of disease pressure out there.â&#x20AC;? Grant has dealt with brown rot and shot-hole disease in his orchards this year, and said the sprayers are running day and night. He also expects hail

damage to cause problems with the fruitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quality. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting it from every side,â&#x20AC;? Grant said. Pollination was also an issue because bees didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care for the cool, wet weather this spring. But both Gary Frederickson, a grower in Northport, and Grant said the rainy weather has made the cherries grow larger than usual. And if the fruit is 20 percent larger, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 20 percent more in production. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With all this rain, I think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be bigger cherries,â&#x20AC;? Grant said. Still, neither expects much from the harvest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s down considerably from the last couple of years,â&#x20AC;? Frederickson said. Grant guessed the harvest will be about 60 percent of the usual, but said he sees orchards around the county that are good and bad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even for us, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost impossible to tell,â&#x20AC;? Grant said.

Empire entities to hold joint meeting on Sleeping Bear trail The Empire Village Council and Village Planning Commission will hold a joint special meeting on July 26 at 6:30 p.m. to discuss where the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail will go through the village. Patty Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Donnell, regional planner with Northwest Michigan Council of Governments (NWMCOG), will be at the meeting to hear where council and commission members would like the trail to go within the village. The 27-mile trail will run from the Benzie County line to the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lake Shore Visitors Center in Empire to the Good Harbor Beach at the end of County Road 651. The second phase of the trail will go from the Sleeping Bear Dune Climb to Glen Arbor and is the phase that will be built first. The ground breaking ceremony for phase two will be held on Aug. 12 at 11 a.m. at the base of the dune climb. Council president Sue Carpenter said Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Donnell is wanting input from the council, planning commission and the public about how far into the village limits the trail should come. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wherever we want it go, it has to end at the visitors center on M-72,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Leelanau County Coming Events

Thursday, June 30, 2011

THE LEELANAU ENTERPRISE

Section 1, Page 15

Recycling fee Continued from Page 1 a $29 per household fee was approved by nearly 70 percent of voters in all 11 townships – coincidentally reflecting the estimated 70 percent of Leelanau County residents who said they recycle regularly in a survey conducted in 2010. The Solid Waste Council’s $306,821 annual budget, funded primarily by the $25 per household fee, pays for the operation of eight fixed recycling sites throughout Leelanau County available to residents and periodic household hazardous waste (HHW) and electronics recycling collections. Separate bins are provided at each of the fixed sites specifically for paper and cardboard waste, plastic and metal waste, and glass. Officials said that this year’s budget can cover only two HHW collections in 2011 rather than three as have been conducted in previous years. Higher volumes of waste being collected both at the fixed recycling sites and at the special HHW collections have resulted in higher expenses, according to Solid Waste Council chairman Bill Perkins. “We would like to offer three Household Hazardous Waste collections this year instead of two — and with a 400 percent increase in the volume of materials being collected at these events over the past few years, it’s clear the public would like us to have more collections too,” Perkins said. “But at $25 per household, we just don’t have the money to do it. That’s part of why we’re going to start collecting the full $29 per household that an overwhelming majority of voters approved last year,” he added. Adding $4 annually to the bill each household pays for the recycling program would provide an additional $60,000 to the Solid Waste Council’s annual budget. One reasons the entire $29 fee will be collected is built into state law, Perkins said. “Over a 10-year period, we don’t know how much more our expenses will increase – and as our expenses increase, we won’t have the means to increase revenues under the current law,” Perkins explained. “Collecting the amount that voters authorized us to collect may allow us set aside some money to cover future expenses.” One possible future expense was expressed to the council by Elmwood Township supervisor Jack Kelly. His township board directed him to ask the Solid Waste Council to re-pave a township-owned parking lot where one of the county’s fixed recycling sites is located, pay the township to re-pave it, or con-

sider moving the county’s recycling site elsewhere. “The Elmwood Township Board has thrown down the gauntlet,” Kelly said. “And it’s incredible to me that this council of appointed officials has just raised the recycling fee for the whole county without even holding a public hearing.” Kelly noted that the recycling site in Elmwood Township, located next to the township’s old fire hall on Cherry Bend Road across from the now-closed Norris Elementary School, has the highest volume of materials being collected in the county. Elmwood taxpayers now contribute around $53,000 in annual fees for the recycling program. “We’re already paying for the recycling program,” Kelly said, “and we don’t believe Elmwood taxpayers should have to pay twice by funding the work that needs to be done to repair pavement at the recycling site in Elmwood Township.” “The Elmwood Township site does have the highest volumes, and that means it also costs us the most to operate,” Perkins replied. “Plus, we did have sort of a public hearing on the recycling fee — it was the November 2010 General Election, and 67-percent of voters in Elmwood Township approved the $29 fee.” Perkins noted that representatives of Solon Township had also requested improvements to the publicly-owned recycling site in Cedar, located in a gravel parking lot near a boat launch on Victoria Creek. Perkins said it was clear that neither Solon Township nor residents of neighboring Cleveland and Centerville townships who routinely use that site were willing to pay for the installation of screening fences as proposed by Solon Township officials. On the other hand, the Village of Empire expended some of its own funds to improve a publicly-owned recycling site. Six of eight sites are publicly owned, with rent of $150 per month paid to private property owners for recycling sites in Lake Leelanau and Northport. A legal opinion from the county’s “corporate counsel” indicated that the Solid Waste Council also could consider paying rent to townships that own sites where recycling bins are located. The townships in turn could use that money to improve sites. Perkins said the Solid Waste Council might consider the option in the future. In the meantime, Kelly said he would obtain an estimate of how much it might cost to repave the Elmwood Township recycling site, and provide that information to the Solid Waste Council.

Courthouse land Continued from Page 1 required that extensive testing be done to determine what type of community water system would be required for the neighborhood. After several changes in plans, a water system for the neighborhood was approved last year, and was completed this week. In the meantime, as the recession deepened, developers struggled to find investors and buyers of some 24 residential units proposed for the project. So far, only one duplex has been constructed, and a purchase agreement for one of the duplex units has been signed. However, an investor in that deal now appears to be balking, developers say. Last year, developers put $100,000 down on a renegotiated $2.4 million land contract for the property that was extended because of their inability to pay earlier. The developers also began paying taxes on the county-owned property. However, they are in default on an initial $270,000 land contract payment that was due April 28. “If they had just allowed us to make that $270,000 payment at the end of the summer real estate buying season instead of the beginning of the season, we might have had the funds,” Varley told the Enterprise this week. “There have been a lot of potential buyers expressing interest in the property lately, but I fear they’ll back away now that it appears the county board won’t cut us any slack and the whole development could be scrapped.” In his email to the county board, Kelly wrote that because of their inability to develop or sell property as quickly as hoped, they are now working on a deal

with the State of Michigan and the Leelanau Conservancy that could preserve four of the development’s most valuable parcels on the Leland River. “If you do not disrupt our effort, within a few months you could receive as much as a $1,950,000 payment on our land contract. That jumps us way ahead of any timetable previously thought of,” Kelly wrote. Varley said that real estate experts he’d consulted recently valued the Leland property proposed for “Rivertown” at about $800,000 these days – a far cry from the $2.4 million Varley-Kelly agreed to pay in 2007. “We’re still willing to give them $2.4 million for this property, and I don’t think they’ll find a better offer coming forward anytime soon,” Varley said. If the county board ends its deal with Varley-Kelly, the county-owned property would also go back off the tax rolls. How funds used to pay for some of the cleanup work would be reimbursed is unclear. Following a discussion behind closed doors Wednesday morning, the county board voted 6-1 on a motion by District No. 6 commissioner David G. Marshall to confer with litigators about options available to the county in light of VarleyKelly’s default on the modified land contract. District No. 3 commsissioner Richard A. Schmuckal voted alone against the motion. District No. 5 commissioner David W. “Chauncey” Shiflett, who represents Leland and Centerville townships on the county board, was absent.

Real estate sales ‘season’ Continued from Page 1 Association of Realtors (TAAR). “Historically, that’s where the process begins. People are here as tourists, fall in love with the place, and eventually return to look over the area as a place to retire or as a second home. “I speak from experience. That’s how Karen and I got started,” added Pontius, referring to the couple’s early visits to Leelanau as tourists. They now reside in the county, and have opened a spice store under the name Suttons Bay Trading Company in the village. Real estate agents are looking forward to this Fourth of July, which many believe will be accompanied by increased interest — and, eventually, sales of homes. “What we’re seeing now is a high level of interest in the region,” said Pontius. “(Realtors) tell me they’re working hard to keep up.” Included is Perry Pentiuk, owner of Venture Properties, who has perspective home buyers lined up from Ohio, Ft. Wayne and Chicago visiting Leelanau County over the weekend. Pentiuk said buyers, some spurred by a Pure Michigan nationwide advertising campaign, are recognizing that home prices that slipped during the past

three years of the recession appear to have stabilized in Leelanau County. “We’re still not cheap, by any means. But I don’t think we’ll drop off anymore,” he said. Indeed, of 204 active listings through TAAR in Leelanau County, some 57 homes have asking prices greater than $1 million. But Realtors agree that prices have fallen, some dramatically, since the real estate market in Leelanau peaked five or so years ago. How far have prices fallen? More in some places than others. And some perceived values were never close to reality. Pentiuk refers to a home outside of Leland on Lake Michigan that at one time had an accessed value of $2.5 million. But some factors for establishing value may have been overlooked during the real estate boom — the property’s 300 feet of shoreline couldn’t be split, and was further restricted by critical dunes. It’s now on the market for $1,375,000. Most waterfront prices throughout Leelanau County have fallen in less dramatic fashion. For instance, the going price of $7,500 per linear foot on Good Harbor Bay has slipped to $5,500,

Pentiuk estimated, while prime frontage on north Lake Leelanau and on Glen Lake has remained more stable. Such sought-out homes can fetch prices of $12,000 to $14,000 per linear foot. Pentiuk has been working a renewed market in recent months; he has six deals pending. “They are not just kicking tires, and a lot of the sales are for cash,” Pentiuk said. Realtor John Martin of Glen Arbor agrees that prices have bottomed out. He said that the number of buyers only in the market to pick off distressed sales has slipped in comparison to those seeking to buy a future home. “I think there are still people looking for a deal. But now I feel there are more qualified buyers who are not looking for a bank-owned property or foreclosures,” said Martin, owner of The Martin Company. Many times, he added, visitors and residents are too busy with friends and family over the Fourth to actively visit listings. But they’re still interested, and often come back later in the summer to consummate a deal. Historically, real estate sales in Leelanau County peak in the third quarter.

Cedar Polka Festival Continued from Page 1 During its 36 years of existence, just about everything Polish has been celebrated at the festival. Just about everything. Descendants and friends of Joan Korson, who died last September from cancer, have organized a two-day Euchre tournament under the Polka Fest tent. The Cure for Cancer Euchre Tournament will be held tomorrow and Saturday from 2:30-8:30 p.m. Jenna Groll is organizing the event. “There will be 20 tables and we will play at least five rounds a night. A donation of $5 a round is asked. The winner of each round at each table will receive prizes donated by local businesses and individuals,” she said. Partners won’t be needed as each person will play for points. “We think we have enough to award a first and second place for each round at each table. It’s going to be a lot of fun,” Groll said. “Team Soul Sister” formed this spring to participate in the 2011 Leelanau Relay for Life, set for July 29-30. It’s a 24-hour fundraising event held at the Suttons Bay Public Schools track. Before then, though, the 12 people that make up Team Soul Sister need to raise money. Lisa and Rod Korson are members of the team, which makes Rod a “Soul Brother.” They also worked with Joan Korson, as Rod is one of her children, when she had her bakery. It was their daughter Amber Huffman who formed the Relay for Life team. “Joan was her grandmother and she wanted to do something to raise money for fighting cancer, so she formed the team and asked me if I wanted to be

part of it,” Korson said. “I’ve had a lot of family and friends who lost their lives to cancer, so this was an easy decision,” she added. The team has already held bake sales at Walmart and on the sidewalk outside of the Cedar Hardware. “We did well at Walmart, and did just as well in Cedar,” Korson said. So far the Soul Sisters have raised $7,368.95. “The bake sales were a natural choice for us as both Rod and I worked under Joan. I learned how to bake from her and worked at her bakery,” she said. In its early years the Cedar Polka Fest offered blackjack, but the card game faded away after about 10 years. “It was Amber’s idea to do a euchre tournament,” Groll said. “She asked me if I knew of anywhere the team could host a tournament for low cost and get a lot of people involved.” The answer was obvious to Groll. “My family, the Novaks, have been involved with Polka Fest since the beginning. My dad, Ken, spent a lot of time every year setting up and tearing

down the wood floor and tents,” she said. Adding the eclectic card game to the Polka Fest seemed like a natural to Groll. “Everyone in Cedar plays euchre. The Cedar Tavern has a Euchre night. We are hoping to sell out the tables both nights,” Groll said. The 2011 festival starts today with a flag raising ceremony at 5 p.m. The festival will continue until 1 a.m. tonight, and run from 2 p.m. to 1 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Sunday hours are 1-8 p.m. The Polka Fest Parade will start at noon Saturday; entries should line up at the Solon Township Hall. They’ll head north on Count Road 651 to the Cedar Fire Hall. On Sunday the Rev. Bernard Hebda, bishop of the Diocese of Gaylord, will attend the Polka Mass, which takes place at 11 a.m. under the festival tent. Pan Franek and Zoisa will perform music for the Mass. For more information about the event go to www.cedarpolkafest.com.

Fruit processing plant in Suttons Bay evacuated Fourteen employees at Leelanau Fruit Co. were transported to Munson Medical Center early Wednesday afternoon for possible exposure to carbon monoxide. The cause of the carbon monoxide was an apparent propane leak from a forklift, according to fire captain Eric

VanThomme. The entire building, located south of Suttons Bay on M-22, was evacuated shortly after the 14 employees were taken by the company van after complaining on dizziness and headache.

Fishing report: Walleye bite, perch spotty By Alan Campbell Of The Enterprise staff

With much ofthe mayfly hatch a distant splotch on windshields, fishing for walleyes has picked up on Lake Leelanau. That’s just one of the fishing opportunities afforded visitors to Leelanau County over the Fourth of July weekend, as lake trout and salmon continue to bite in Lake Michigan and smallmouth bass head for the beds in West Grand Traverse Bay. The one low spot in the fishing forecast may be Glen Lake, where perch fishing remains slow, according to longtime resident Jerry Denny. “They caught bass around Memorial Day, and did pretty good. Most were catch and release,” said Denny.

Perch fishing usually slows during the giant mayfly hatch on little Glen Lake, and more mayflies hatched this week. But fishing should pick up as the summer progresses. So far, though, Denny said action has been slow with most reports showing just a few fish per outing. Also slow has been fishing for lake-bound steelheaded planted in recent years by the DNR. Lake Leelanau, however, has been yielding some decent catches of perch — and walleye, according to Alex Garfield. He’s a regular angler on south Lake Leelanau. “There is some pretty good fishing after sunset for walleye. And there are several nice perch being caught, not very many. There have been some on the edge of weed beds,” Garvin said. Wigglers have been the preferred perch

bait. Garvin suggests finding walleyes on a fish graph, then jigging for them. He’s been using an ice fishing favorite, a Swedish Pimple, tipped with a minnow “just for flavor.” Walleyes are moving into shallow waters to feed at night, some as shallow as five feet. And, of course, there is always the “Big Lake,” Lake Michigan. While cool water temperatures have delayed a migration of salmon northward this year, a few are being caught around the Manitou islands, according to charter boat captain Bill Crandel. He pilots the C-Worthy out of Fishtown. “They (charter captains) all said they weren’t getting a lot of salmon, but some,” said Crandel. “Day by day these salmon are starting to arrive, and those (Concluded on Page 13)

CHARTER BOATS WERE mostly idle and tied along the docks in Fishtown, awaiting more favorable winds and warmer temperatures. The Leland River, however, was anything but idle, flowing into Lake Michigan with the force of several days of rain that fell last week in Leelanau County.

The descendants of Lake Leelanau settler Alexis Belanger will gather next month for a three-day reunion. Veterans of Foreign Wars Post #7731 in Lake Leelanau will be the center of activity for the event which is expected to draw hundreds — some from as far as Alberta, Canada. The reunion kicks off on Friday, July 29, with a social gathering and sign-in from 4 to 10 p.m. Saturday, July 30, there will be a continental breakfast with a family history lessson from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Childrens’ games are also planned throughout the day along with a silent auction and more socializing. At 6 p.m. Saturday there will be a potluck with meat, potato salad, drinks and table service furnished. Music, dancing and more visiting will begin at 7 p.m.

Sunday there will be an 11 a.m. Mass for the Alexis and Adelina Belanger family at St. Mary of the Assumption Church and a guided tour of St. Mary Cemetery, family landmarks and homesteads. Participants are asked to bring old pictures and stories to share. The Belangers came to LeNaro, Provemont, Lake Leelanau in 1869 from the village of St. Ferdinand, county of Hailfax, Quebec, Canada. They brought with them five boys ages 1 through 8. Traveling with them were Alexis’ mother, Angele and his stepfather Francois Duperon and his five boys, ages 9 through 19.

Construction activity in Leelanau County so far this year remains at historic low levels. In the latest two-week reporting period, the number of building permits issued and placed in a file available for public review at the Leelanau County Construction Code Authority office was 14, bringing the year-to-date number of permits issued to 125. The new permits had a combined estimated construction value of $286,340, bringing the year-to-date value estimate to $8,861,227. Although that figure is two percent larger than the figure recorded by this time in 2010, it is down 22 percent from the level recorded by this time in 2009 — the worst year on record for construction activity in the county.

County won’t pay tuition

Deputy sought reimbursement

Open Year Round

More names of vets going up on memorial Leelanau County will expend another $32,500 on the county’s Veterans Memorial plaza in addition to the $151,515 the county board appropriated for the project last year. In addition, some $23,000 has been appropriated to cover cost overruns to correct soil erosion issues on the site. Acting on the recommendation of its Veterans Memorial Committee, the Leelanau County Board of Commissioners last week voted 7-0 to proceed with Phase Two of the project. The board asked the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians to chip in $12,500 in tribal “2-percent” casino revenue funding to cover part of the additional $32,500 required. Two years ago, the tribe paid out $25,000 to support construction of the veterans memorial plaza. Original plans for the circular plaza were built around a sacred Native American medicine wheel design. Design elements incorporated into the memorial include orientation of the plaza with the four “sacred directions” and directional markers with the four “sacred colors” of Native American spirituality. Drawings for the second phase of the Veterans Memorial project include addition of a memorial “meditation area” as well as memorial “medicine poles,” plus additional paving and landscap-

ing. The new appropriation will also pay for installation of several lighted “bollards” to block vehicles from driving directly onto the memorial plaza from a contiguous parking lot. The second phase of the project will also add four additional “walls of honor” on which anyone can have the name of a veteran inscribed for a $25 donation toward perpetual care of the Veterans Memorial. In addition, anyone may purchase an inscribed brick paver to be installed on the site for $125. At a June 20 Veterans Memorial Committee meeting, committee chair and District No. 3 commissioner Richard A. Schmuckal asked whether someone who served in the National Guard can be named on the “wall of honor.” At the full county board meeting last week, Schmuckal said some National Guardsmen were never called to active duty. Members of the county board decided to table action on a recommendation from Schmuckal’s committee that only the name of National Guard veterans who served on active duty be included on the “walls of honor,” pending receipt of clarifying information. Updated drawings of the memorial plaza indicate long-range plans for a total of six additional “walls of honor” although only four are currently being

purchased. Each stone panel would accommodate up to 72 names, and would be mounted on a stone base. Two walls of honor on the site have already been filled up with names, and 53 names are pending the addition of more walls. The centerpiece of the Veterans Memorial plaza is the historic granite marker that was moved from the former county seat in Leland to the new site on the Leelanau County Government Center campus. The central marker was intended to honor all Leelanau County servicemembers killed in combat, although county officials acknowledge the list is incomplete and may contain names of some not actually killed in combat. No plans have been made to correct the historic marker. The Veterans Memorial Plaza is located on Government Center Drive just north of M-204 in Suttons Bay Township. A ceremony to dedicate the facility was held in August 2010. Part of the new $32,500 expenditure will include the addition of a boulder on the site with a plaque noting the dedication ceremony. Schmuckal said he was hopeful that Phase Two would be completed in time for Veterans Day observances on Nov. 11. — by Eric Carlson

Weather may pave way for better roads for Fourth The county Road Commission was hoping for good weather yesterday and today. That’s when a TEAM Elmers’ crew was scheduled to be in Leland to pave five sections of county roads in the unincorporated village. Good weather meant the work would be done prior to the Fourth of July weekend. At a Road Commission meeting last week, manager Herb Cradduck said portions of River, First, Pine and Williams streets and part of Grand Avenue are scheduled for work. The total of the project is $165,152, with the township providing half, $84,576. “I’m very nervous about starting paving in Leland on the Wednesday and Thursday before the big July 4 holiday weekend. Is there anyway we could push this off to September?” asked Chairman Lee A. Bowen. Both Cradduck and commission

engineer James C. Johnson said this is the best chance they have for getting the paving done before the busy summer season kicks into high gear. Bowen also suggested seeing if the job could be split with some done now and the rest to follow in late summer or fall. “Generally Elmers won’t split up a job like this,” Cradduck said. The work includes paving River Street from M-22 to Fifth Street, and First Street from River to Pearl Street. Cradduck and Johnson said they have had discussions with Leland residents and business owners, preparing them for the work. Leland Township has also scheduled a sidewalk project on the north side of River St. “We haven’t heard if the sidewalk work is going to be done by the time of the paving,” Johnson said. If the sidewalk isn’t completed by Wednesday June 29, the paving will go

on as scheduled, barring rain or weather delays. The project includes paving First Street from Cedar Street to Pine Street, and Pine from Cedar to M-22; Williams Street, from Second Street to Grand Avenue and Second from Pearl to North Street; Grand Avenue from River to Pearl; and Popp Road from Lavassar Road to Lingaur Road. In other business, the commission: • Denied a request from an employee who lost his Commercial Drivers License for a one-year leave of absence to be treated for alcoholism. Under terms of the existing union contract, the employee has been issued a 60-day leave. At the end of the 60 days, if his CDL is not reinstated, he could be terminated. “I’m sorry,” said Bowen, while addressing the employee at the meeting, “this a tough one, but we have to abide by the contract.”

The Leelanau County Board of Commissioners last week questioned whether it should seek a “second legal opinion” on how to proceed in a long running federal court case filed against the county board and Sheriff Michael Oltersdorf by several of his deputies. But commissioners didn’t question for a minute whether they should reimburse college tuition bills from one of the deputies suing them – Sgt. James Kiessel. They voted unanimously in opposition to the sheriff’s recommendation that Kiessel be paid $8,067.50 to defray half of a $16,135 tuition bill he amassed while he was not working in the sheriff’s department. After the sheriff fired Kiessel in Oct. 2009 for “severe misconduct” related to his role in the allegedly unlawful arrests of suspects in a drunk driving incident, Kiessel enrolled in a number of courses at Spring Arbor University. The classes were taught in Traverse City. After an arbitrator ruled this year that Kiessel had been fired without just cause, he was returned to duty this spring. On May 31, Kiessel asked the sheriff to be reimbursed for 50 percent of his tuition at Spring Arbor. At the county board’s regular monthly executive committee meeting last week, commissioners voted 6-0, with District No. 5 commissioner David W. “Chauncey” Shiflett absent, to deny Kiessel’s request for tuition reimbursement. In a May 31 memo to the sheriff, Kiessel noted that his tuition reimburse-

At its regular monthly meeting Tuesday evening, the board voted 6-0 to ratify the decision it made following its closed session the week before. Shiflett abstained because he had been absent for the closed session. This week, Marshall said he had questions about legal advice the county board has been getting from its attorneys, hired by the county’s insurance carrier, the Michigan Municipal Risk Management Agency. “As co-defendants in this case along with the Sheriff, how do we separate our liability from that of the Sheriff?” Marshall asked. “If this were a private trial in which I were a co-defendant, I would want to ensure that my own interests are being protected as well as those of my co-defendant.” Shiflett said he agreed. “All along, I’ve thought the legal advice we’ve been getting may not be the best for the county, but may be best only for the administration across the street,” Shiflett said, referring to the Sheriff’s Office across the parking lot from the Government Center where the county board meets. Watkoski said she, too, often questioned whether the county board has interests that are separate from the sheriff, and whether the county board should seek its own counsel. District No. 2 commissioner James A. Schaub Sr., said he believed it was too late in the process to ask such a question. “We’re all in this together at this point,” Schaub said. A majority of the county board agreed with Schaub, voting 4-3 against a motion by Marshall to direct the county administrator to seek a second legal opinion. Shiflett and Watkoski voted with Marshall in favor.

ment request was in accordance with his police union’s collective bargaining agreement with the county. County commissioners disagreed, however. District No. 1 commissioner Jean Watkoski said that Kiessel’s request was not in keeping with county policies and procedures. District No. 7 commissioner Melinda Lautner questioned whether it would be appropriate for taxpayers to pay for all of the courses Kiessel took at the faith-based institution – notably Spring Arbor University’s “Biblical Perspectives” course. Kiessel completed nine credit hours in various courses in the spring 2010 semester, another 14 credit hours last fall, and 15 more this spring. Documents Kiessel provided with his memo to the sheriff indicated that he had maintained a 3.96 grade point average in his academic career. In other issues related to the sheriff’s department at last week’s meeting, the county board went into closed session for about an hour to discuss the federal lawsuit Kiessel and four other deputies filed against them and the sheriff. Following the closed session, a motion made by District No. 6 commissioner David G. Marshall “to proceed with a trial strategy” as discussed in the closed session with attorneys carried in a 6-0 vote. However, minutes of the meeting prepared by the county clerk’s office indicated that the motion Marshall made was “to proceed with strategy as discussed” – without any reference either to a “trial strategy” or a “settlement strategy.” A settlement conference that a federal court judge has ordered the entire county board to attend has been rescheduled for Aug. 22 in Grand Rapids.

Committee renews talk of wireless connection By Eric Carlson Of The Enterprise staff

The Wireless Internet Committee of the Leelanau County Board of Commissioners has apparently not given up on its effort to persuade Internet service providers to submit bids to make high speed Internet access more widely available throughout the county. Earlier this year, the county board agreed to pay a consultant $6,500 to prepare a Request for Proposals (RFP) on the design and construction of expanded “middle mile” infrastructure that would link broadband Internet service providers to more customers in Leelanau County. However, none of the 12 to 14 firms that officials hoped would submit bids did so. County officials said they heard informally from representatives of two of the firms who indicated they needed more time to prepare a response. Representatives of two other firms said they did not submit bids because it was not clear how Leelanau County would pay for such a project. On June 20, the Wireless Internet Committee held its first formal meeting since Jan. 7 to discuss its next step. The

founder and chairman of the committee, District No. 5 commissioner David W. “Chauncey” Shiflett was absent. Committee member and District No. 6 commissioner David G. Marshall chaired the meeting with the assent of the third county board member on the committee, District No. 2 commissioner James A. Schaub Sr. Also present were consultant Rob Franzo of Mitten Communications, county administrator Eric Cline, and county information technology director Ron Plamondon. Franzo, a Leelanau Township resident, said he is committed to seeing better Internet service provided in his community, and he was ready to do more work under his current agreement with the county without any more money. He said he planned to survey those he had hoped would respond to the RFP to determine why they did not respond and what would be required for them to make a proposal. “Everyone I talked to wanted to know how the funding would be done,” Franzo said. “If you are just doing the middle mile, it will be somewhere between $350,000 to $500,000 to do the core

transport. “Depending on how you are addressing the second stage, with the open access mile, there would be an additional $750,000 to $1.5 million, depending on what type of technology is used.” Franzo added that the county had met its obligation to solicit bids and that, if desired, the county could now decide to work with one or more of the contractors without issuing another RFP. Marshall noted that as many as six vendors indicated a willingness to speak to county officials privately about the RFP — but the vendors were hesitant to do so in sessions open to the public because of their proprietary interest in various technologies and the competitive nature of their business. Cline noted that the county is in something of a “Catch 22” situation because vendors are saying the county has not identified how it will pay for the project, but the county doesn’t know how to address that issue because it’s not clear exactly what would be proposed and how much it would cost. Plamondon said that members of a staff working group, incuding himself, Cline and Franzo — but not includ-

Search for new equalization head under way County administrator Eric Cline has begun a process to hire a replacement for longtime Leelanau County Equalization Department Manager Pam Zientek who retired last month after more than 32 years of service as a county employee. Cline said he is also seeking a waiver from the State of Michigan that requires Leelanau County to hire a Level IV Assessor — a person with the highest level of qualification available — to work as the county’s Equalization Director. Several years ago, the state began requiring that counties with taxable values above a certain threshold hire a Level IV Assessor as their Equalization Director. At the time, that Zientek held the post as Equalization Director; and she was qualified only as a Level III Assessor. The jump from Level III to Level IV would have required Zientek to undergo several more years of advanced study. Zientek’s Level III qualification was considered to be at a Master’s Degree level; with a Level IV equivalent to a Ph.D. To comply with the new requirement, Leelanau County several years ago signed a contract with Level IV Assessor Laurie Spencer to serve part-time as county Equalization Director, and named Zientek as Equalization Department Manager. Spencer works fulltime as Grand Traverse County’s Equalization Director. Her role in Leelanau County was to review reports prepared by Zientek and her local staff, and sign-off on the department’s official reports to the state. Cline said that the state’s requirement for higher levels of training for assessors was imposed primarily in response to more stringent tax assessment methods being applied to commercial and industrial properties. He said it was clear that communities with a high percentage of commercial, and especially industrial properties, needed a Level IV Assessor. However, nearly 90 percent of the taxable value of all properties in Leelanau County is attributed to residential properties, with only a small percentage commercial and an even smaller percentage industrial. The requirement was imposed

ing county commissioners or a quorum of the county board or a committee — might meet with vendors privately to discuss proposals. The staff working group could then bring information and possibly a recommendation to the committee or the county board based on informal private discussions with vendors. No specific course of action was decided upon at the June 20 meeting, however. Two members of the public spoke up at the committee meeting during a “public comment” opportunity. Leelanau County Republican Party chairman Eric Lind said he felt it was “a bit disturbing” to hear that the county might now enter into an agreement with one vendor without re-visiting the bidding process. He added that high speed Internet access is already available in two-thirds of Leelanau county; and he wondered whether the remaining market is large enough for anyone to make the kind of investment required. Robert Foster of Bingham Township also offered public comment. Foster said he believes Internet service providers are in business to make a profit; and if they thought they could make a profit they would have already invested in improving their capability to cover more of Leelanau County. At the full county board’s regular monthly meeting June 21, Schaub and Marshall made a brief report on the committee meeting, but recommended no action. Shiflett offered no comment on the issue at last week’s county board meeting.

PAMELA ZIENTEK, right, is presented a plaque by the chairman of the Leelanau County Board of Commissioners, Tom Van Pelt, recognizing her 32 years of service as a county employee, most recently as manager of the county’s Equalization Department. Zientek retired this month. With her family and many of her coworkers in attendance, Zientek was presented the plaque during the county board’s regular monthly meeting Tuesday night. on Leelanau County only because its overall taxable value is so high primarily as a result of large numbers of expensive waterfront homes. The county administrator explained that state officials had recently begun considering waivers for the Level IV requirement. He recommended that Leelanau County apply for the waiver so that a Level III Assessor can now serve as Equalization Director. Spencer concurred with Cline’s recommendation, and expressed confidence that the county’s Equalization Department possessed all the expertise needed to fulfill its mission well without her oversight. At its regular monthly meeting last week, the Leelanau County Board of Commissioners voted 7-0 on Cline’s recommendation that he apply for a waiver from the State of Michigan

that would allow the county to employ a Level III Assessor as Equalization Director. Cline said that in the meantime, he would continue the process of hiring a new Equalization Department Manager with the understanding that the new manager might become the Equalization Director if the waiver is granted. The Equalization Department has five employees. Its mission is to “equalize” the property tax burden across taxing jurisdictions within the county — villages, townships, school districts — by ensuring that properties on tax rolls are valued at 50 percent of their true cash value. The process is accomplished by reviewing real estate sales data and tax appraisals submitted by township appraisers, who are usually Level I or Level II appraisers.

County board unanimously approves executive items an old boat with more than 4,000 hours on its motor. • Agreed to authorize Belanger to apply for a state Marine Safety Grant of up to $35,000 to help fund his division’s operations. The county has received similar amounts in past years through the same grant program. • Approved a job description for a new position in the 9-1-1 Dispatch Center — an “on call emergency telecommunications operator” who would be paid $18.50 per hour. According to county emergency management director Tom Skowronski, the new position will allow more flexible scheduling in the 9-1-1 Emergency Dispatch Center, and will require a budget of less than $5,768 per year. • Authorized Skowronski to work with county emergency responders to acquire personal protection equipment to be used during chemical spills on farms. The county received a $1,900 grant from an agricultural chemical supply company, Wilbur-Ellis, to fund purchase of the equipment. • Authorized county housing director Ron Crummel to apply for a two-year grant of $175,000 from the Michigan

State Housing Development Authority (MHSDA) to fund emergency loans for home repair and rehabilitation for needy local families. • Adopted a resolution to participate in MSHDA’s “Help for Hardest Hit” program which will authorize Crummel and the county’s Planning and Community Development Department to administer a state “mortgage rescue” effort for needy local families. • Agreed to appoint District No. 2 commissioner James A. Schaub Sr., as county board representative on the Leelanau County Planning Commission. • Endorsed two requests to be forwarded to the Tribal Council of the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians for approval of “2-percent” tribal casino revenue funding. The Leelanau County Family Coordinating Council is asking the tribe for $37,000 to help fund a coordinator’s position; and the county’s Maintenance Department is asking $31,000 as a match to state grant funding being received for an effort to install more energy efficient lighting at the county Government Center.

The Leelanau County Board of Commissioners last week took action on a list of items they considered in detail during their executive committee meeting the week before. In 7-0 votes at their regular monthly meeting on Tuesday, June 21, the county board: • Agreed to expend nearly $21,000 as part of a collaborative agreement with 86th District Court which serves Leelanau, Antrim and Grand Traverse counties, to purchase new document scanning equipment for the court that will cut down on paperwork. Leelanau County will also pay an annual fee of about $4,600 to maintain the system. At the June 14 executive committee meeting, court administrator Carol Stocking said the new process will not result in immediate savings, but will make the court more efficient and lessen the need for storage space, paper and file folders. • Agreed to accept some $22,500 in state grant funding to purchase a new 16-foot boat and motor for the sheriff’s Marine Divsion. Division commander Charles Belanger said the county expects to receive about $1,500 on the trade-in of

A 22-year-old Lake Leelanau man was injured in a single-car accident Sunday evening in Bingham Township. Wade T. Nedow was southbound on Co.

Nedow was transported by ambulance to Munson Medical Center in Traverse City where he was listed in fair condition Monday afternoon. Nedow was not wearing a seatbelt and alcohol may have been a factor in the crash, Undersheriff Scott Wooters said.

Benzonia woman sentenced to eight months for third drunk driving offense fee; and five months probation. Court documents provide the following information: on Feb. 14, 2010, a county Sheriff’s deputy stopped a minivan with Wisconsin plates for an equipment violation and suspicious driving on S. Lake Shore Drive. The officer observed Shomin had blood-shot eyes, slurred speech and smelled of intoxicants. She failed three standard sobriety tests. At the scene she provided a preliminary breath test sample of .135 percent. At the jail, the data master results were .15 percent and

.14 percent blood alcohol content. Shomin had previously been convicted of drunk driving on Dec. 17, 1999 in the 86th District Court in Leland and on Dec. 7, 2005 in the 90th District Court in Emmet County. For the Feb. 14 2010 incident, she entered the Drug Court system. She was rejected from the system earlier this year. Shomin had failed different PBTs and had problems making timely payments on her fine and costs owed, court records show.

Minor charged with child endangerment A 19-year-old Grand Rapids man could spend up to three months in jail after he was caught driving with alcohol in his system and child endangerment. Shane M. Kaurman, of 741 Lafayette Ave. NE, Grand Rapids was arraigned in the 86th District Court Friday afternoon before Judge Michael S. Stepka. A pretrial meeting is scheduled for tomorrow. He remains free on a $1,000 personal recognizance bond.

According to court records, Kaufman was pulled over June 15 by a county Sheriff’s deputy on Summer Field Road in Elmwood Township for erratic driving. The deputy determined that the minor had been driving while drinking. At the time, Kaufman had a passenger in his vehicle less than 16 years old. The court information did not include how much alcohol was in Kaufman’s system at the time of his arrest. If he is found or pleads guilty to

the misdemeanor charge, Kaufman faces a maximum penalty of three months in jail, two months community service and a $500 fine. He would also have to pay for the costs of prosecution and of the emergency response. He would also face vehicle forfeiture or immobilization.

RICHARD AND PATRICIA ROSSMAN had only owned their new pontoon boat for a week when strong winds and rain created this scene of havoc along M-22 just south of Leland. The couple said they would have their boat (with the dark cover) looked at by marine mechanics before taking it onto Lake Leelanau.

Wacky weather tosses boats, trees near Leland By Chris Olson Of The Enterprise staff

AL ROLLINGS, second from left, works with friends and neighbors to get his pontoon boat righted after it was flipped over during a wind event on June 22. “The second kind of waterspout can be created in the fall and summer,” Arnott said. “Sometimes all you need is wind shift to create a little bit of a spin.” The National Weather Service estimated wind speeds at the time of the incident between 60-70 mph. Richard and Patricia Rossman were in Traverse City trying to have a relaxing day when a friend called and told them about the wind and damaged boats. The family had just purchased a

new pontoon that has its own “sea legs” anchoring system. A photo from the scene showed the Rossman’s boat partially pulled up from the lake bottom on one side, while another pontoon chained to an anchor on the lake bottom is flipped up on its side. “There had to be powerful winds to lift that one boat,” Patricia Rossman said. “We had a speed boat for 13 years anchored in the same spot as our new pontoon and never had anything happen. We’ve had our new pontoon for a

week, and this happens.” Larry Bunchek, who lives at the west end of Oxford Drive, said he was home when heavy rain and winds hit. “I wasn’t down at the lake when the big wind came through. It had been raining, nice gentle rain. Then the rain began to pick up noticeably, and for five to 10 minutes, it seems we had really strong winds,” Bunchek said. “I mean, the rain was come down in buckets. Then, it all calmed down and returned to being a regular rain fall.”

Al Rollings doesn’t know what came down out of a thunderstorm for five minutes last Wednesday afternoon, but it wasn’t good. “I was trapped in my shed outside when the rain really started coming down. I heard a roaring and the shed was just being pelted with rain. Then it calmed down and went back to being a regular rain storm,” Rollings said. “It was over in about 15 seconds.” What Rollings didn’t know was that a waterspout, downward wind shear or some other wind event came out of the sky and tossed about boats and trees just south of Leland. Where Oxford Drive comes out onto M-22, just north of the Whaleback Inn, winds of 60-70 miles-per-hour twisted docks, overturned pontoon boats and mangled boat lifts around 1:30 p.m. on June 22. Large trees were taken down by the Whaleback Inn and the historic Ball cottage just south of Oxford Drive. Rollings said he went back to work once the downpour moved on. “Then around 3 p.m., my neighbor came over and said ‘Hey Al, you better come down here and take a look at your boat.’ I didn’t like the sound of that,” he said. Rollings walked down to the marina, about a 100 yards from the end of his driveway just north of Oxford Drive to find his pontoon upside down in the water. “The top part of the engine was in the water, oil and gas were spilling, it

was a mess,” he said. He had two cargo bins full of tools on the boat. “I found about 50 percent of my tools on the lake bottom in that area,” Rollings said. To get the boat righted, Rollings needed a wrecker from Van’s Garage and the help of some neighbors and fire fighters from the Leland Township Fire and Rescue Department. “It’s sitting down at Manitou Marine getting looked at. I’m sure it will be ready to go sometime soon,” Rollings said. What was the weather event? Justin Arnott was watching the radar at the National Weather Service office near Gaylord at that time. “We had reports of waterspouts that afternoon. We did see some rotational activity on our radar in the area just south of Leland and we had issued a special marine warning for that area,” he said. Rollings’ neighbor reported a circular rotation in the clouds immediately above his house. Arnott said the conditions likely created a waterspout on Lake Michigan that was powerful enough to move inland. “This could’ve led to straight line winds, which would have caused the damage you’re talking about,” he said. While waterspouts are commonly seen in the fall when cold air masses move over warm bodies of water, they can be created when a warm, humid air collides with cooler air to form a rotating updraft.

STEPHANIE VALLEE will teach two brushless painting classes at the Glen Arbor Art Association.

Brushless painting classes offered watercolor over a painting area, allowing an artist to create 80 percent of a work without using a brush. Vallee uses a four-step process that helps any painter create a work regardless of the drawing or the painting background. She says the technique “is challenging, fun and the result is stunning.” The second class, offered July 14-15, will be called “Painting Without a Brush” it’s designed for artists interested in working with acrylics. Vallee has been painting with watercolor and acrylics for more than 20 years. She has helped professional artists and students to improve their understanding of water-based medias and to explore indirect painting. Vallee’s

work focuses on helping painters achieve more with less effort. She has used the brush-less workshops around the world to support people in their creative-self exploration. The workshops in July will honor the work of Roland Roycraft, who passed away June 21, and encourage others to carry on his unique style of painting. Enrollment information is available at 334-6112 or at www.glenarborart.org.

Art enthusiasts will have an opportunity in July to study a unique style of painting in two classes offered by the Glen Arbor Art Association. The technique, known as brushless painting, allows artists to create an image that is fundamentally different than the traditional approach using brushes. The classes will be conducted by Stefanie Vallee, a student and associate of well-known artist Roland Roycraft, who used the technique to create art works without a brush but in all water media. Vallee’s first class, “Indirect Watercolor Painting,” will be held July 11-13. The technique involves pouring

To Hickman, a saint is selfless, and has the will and desire to work hard. He has created multiple busts of saints, that stand at human size when mounted on a base. He has also created Sioux Saint Marie and Old Frank. Mishimegobing, translates to “the place where the canoes run up into the river because there is no harbor.” “If there was, and perhaps there is, a saint of Leelanau County, this is who I

see that saint being. An everyman. A fisher, honest and hard working. Respectful and loving of this beautiful land and waters and sky. Thankful for its resources that sustain us, reverent of its beauty that gives us pause and serenity, and determined to preserve what has been given us.” said Hickman. Hickman created the fish arch displayed outside the gallery, and has pieces displayed in the American Folk Art Museum in New York City. His work will be displayed at the gallery on Saturday from 6 to 10 p.m. with contemporary artist Jil Johnson, whose mixedmedia sculptures and paintings will also be on display.

Center Gallery at Lake Street Studios in Glen Arbor begins its summer of weekly exhibitions Friday with metal sculpture by Rod Bearup. The exhibition opens with a public reception at 6 p.m. Bearup looks to the natural world for this subject matter, drawing inspiration from the flora and fauna that are indigenous to his northern Benzie County home. He works primarily in copper, stainless steel and glass enamel, translating his subjects‚ fish, insects, reptiles, forest wildflowers — through hand-forming, welding and brazing

Boone Doggies a variety music act There are a lot of musical trios around, but you’ll have a hard time finding one that’s been playing together for as long as the Boone Doggies – or one that has as much fun. The Boone Doggies, Jason Elsheimer, Aric Beyer and Nick Foresman, graduated from Traverse City Central High School in 1987. “We’re just three guys who grew up together and love music,” Foresman said. The guys played for dances, proms and parties during high school, although not yet as the ‘Doggies. For the next few years, they occasionally played acoustic songs together, as duos and as solo artists for family gatherings, until Elsheimer and Foresman were invited to play acoustic music on the deck at the Homestead in Glen Arbor. Soon the man who invited them to play at the Homestead bought Boone Docks in Glen Arbor and invited the musicians to come along. After Foresman and Elsheimer reunited with Beyer, the Boone Doggies were born — named

after a drink on the restaurant’s menu. “It just kind of stuck,” Foresman said. The Boone Doggies have been playing on the Boone Docks deck two or three times per week in the summer for about 15 years. Foresman said the band knows about 500 songs. The variety of music helps the band please audiences of all ages. They can swing from Jimmy Buffett for the kids, to Pearl Jam for the twentysomethings, to The Grateful Dead for the old hippies. They sprinkle in favorites like “Sweet Caroline” and “What Shall We Do With the Drunken Sailor” to really pull the shows together. “We play all your favorite and traditional songs,” Foresman said. The Boone Doggies have played at the National Cherry Festival ball drop in Traverse City, Crystal Mountain in Benzie County, the Traverse City Fall Crawl, in local bars and restaurants and in the Grand Rapids area, where Foresman and Elsheimer currently reside. But as far as Glen Arbor is concerned, the Boone Doggies are loyal to their namesake, Boone Docks. Otherwise,

the band is interested in playing more in Leelanau County. After 25 years of playing together, Foresman said the band has really developed musically. So much stage time has helped the group blend their voices so there’s always a harmony. “We’re lucky to be together for such a long time,” Foresman said. All of the ‘Doggies have families and jobs that don’t involve setting up sound equipment, but that hasn’t stopped them from playing music. “We continue to play music even though we’re getting old and fat and bald,” Foresman said. Foresman has three children and one due in the fall, Aric has twin daughters and Jason has two daughters. Their wives and families are all friends, and some of their children are also drawn to music. “Maybe they’ll be the Boone Doggettes,” Foresman said. If you’re looking for a good night outside listening to your favorite bar songs, look no further than the Boone Doggies, who play on the deck at Boone Docks in Glen Arbor on Sunday and Monday nights.

Continued from Page 1 or doing service projects, junior rangers take the junior ranger oath and are awarded with a patch and a badge. “If you go through that junior ranger book you’re going to learn something and you’re going to visit some places in the park,” Lakeshore deputy superintendent Tom Ulrich said. The Junior Ranger booklet was just re-done with more graphic appeal, new activities and different requirements for completion. It’s a free program and emphasizes taking care of the park. “We have a strong stewardship component where we ask them to do some kind of project in the park like pick up trash,” park ranger Susan Sanders said. “We want them to understand that to be a junior ranger means helping protect the parks.”

Other programs, like the Sleeping Bear Brain Bowl trivia game held weekly at the campgrounds, appeal to an older crowd. Chalup is often surprised to see teenagers attend her interpretive programs. Although sometimes they can seem grumpy because of long family vacations, she likes to engage them by recommending good beaches and areas of the Lakeshore. Lakeshore staff understand the importance of reaching all young people and engaging them in the park. “If they come out and make connections they can make a lifelong connection to the national parks,” Griebel said. Chalup especially likes working with kids because they are more open to learning. The look of awe on their faces when they discover new things makes

running the programs worthwhile and fun. The Junior Ranger program has been around for years, but National Park Service staff moved it this year to more popular areas of the Lakeshore, like Esch Beach, in order to attract visitors who wouldn’t normally attend the sessions. Integrating technology like cell phones and mobile applications is an important way to reach the younger visitors, and Sanders said the Lakeshore is working on improving that aspect of the park experience. “We have to stay with the times,” Sanders said. “We want to bring in more of the younger audience and to connect with them where they are.” The NPS has been expanding the Cell Phone Tour, which gives visitors auto-

Some parks make connection better than others By Carol Thompson Enterprise intern

Cell phones and other mobile communication devices are making their way into more, and often younger, hands. Using new technology isn’t the reason people visit the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, but sometimes it’s necessary to make a cell phone call to get in touch with other visiting friends and family. Cell phone service isn’t great everywhere on the Lakeshore and varies between service providers, but there are ways to find more reliable reception.

Park ranger Sarah Chalup said cell phone service is good in the D.H. Day and Platte River campgrounds, in the village of Empire and at the Philip A. Hart Visitor Center, but is notoriously bad in Port Oneida. Sometimes the weather and time of year can affect cell phone service. Lead park ranger Lisa Griebel has heard from visitors who get better service in the spring when there are fewer leaves on trees, and poorer service in the summer when leaves are thick. Griebel gets service in most areas of the park, but said some places like the Maritime Museum near Glen Haven and Esch Beach are not

Frazee joins health department Janis L. Frazee has joined the staff at the Benzie-Leelanau District Health Department. Frazee is a board certified women’s health nurse practitioner with more than 30 years experience in reproductive health care, including the last 22 years in public health clinics in northern Michigan. She has worked in a private obstetric/gynecology practice as well as for Planned Parenthood. Frazee is offering well women exams, screening and treatment for sexually transmitted infections, HIV

Five distinct homes on Northport tour The Northport Women’s Club will feature five diverse homes on their Northport-area Home Tour July 13. Again this year, the Omena Women’s Club is including and hosting an Omena Point home. The tour includes: • Melissa Chenault’s “Arts and Crafts with a touch of Dallas” home on Omena Point • Alicia and Don Webb’s “Built to pay tribute to Northport and our family” home in Northport • Sharon and Bill Cron’s “A Gathering Place” home on Lake Michigan in Northport • Becky & Art Samberg’s “Where stone, metal and glass meet the hardwoods” home in Acadia Woods • Joanie & Michael Jackson’s “Japanese theme” home on N. Cathead Bay Tickets are $15 and available from Northport Women’s Club members, the Business Helper in Suttons Bay, Leelanau Books in Leland, Tamarack in Omena and Dolls and More in Northport. Tickets will also be available at each home the day of the tour. The public is also invited to attend a “Garden Luncheon” at David Chrobak’s Old Mill Pond Inn at 202 W. Third St. on the day of the tour. There will be two seatings, at 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. Tickets are $13.50 apiece and need to be reserved no later than July 6, by calling 386-7341 or 386-5106. Over the past three years, more than $30,000 has been raised by the club in support of Northport area scholarships and the Leelanau Children’s Center.

mated messages after they call a number at certain stops throughout the Lakeshore. Sanders said the next stop was working with mobile applications with images and sounds for the tour. The Lakeshore also has a Facebook page, and Sanders is interested in expanding the web site’s interactive aspects. Staffing issues have slowed those initiatives. Another way young people get engaged in the Lakeshore is through school groups and Boy and Girl Scout troops, Griebel said. Groups attend ranger-led educational programs about topics like history and geology, and sometimes participate in service projects like replanting native dune grass. “They do all kinds of really meaningful projects that help us and help them preserve and protect this area,” Lakeshore historian Marie Scott said. This year, the Lakeshore also expanded its Families Uniting in Nature (FUN) program into the summer months. FUN is a family-oriented outdoor activity club that gives monthly opportunities for families to get outside and learn about nature. Families earn points for participating in FUN events, and can receive prizes like field guides, a compass and a backpack. Getting families and young people into the Lakeshore is important for the future preservation for national parks. Chalup said that young people need to recognize the opportunities and responsibilities that come with having ownership in public land like the Lakeshore. “Every U.S citizen has 394 parks that are theirs, that they have to take care of,” Chalup said. Hopefully, junior rangers and other young park stewards will grow up with that responsibility in mind.

zone, and when you find them they are quite easy to catch,” said Crandel. Salmon have preferred spoons over flies, while lakers “like cow bells,” he added. If you want to stay closer to shore, smallmouth fishing along West Grand Traverse Bay may be the ticket. “They’re pretty close, if not on their beds,” said Jon Smith, owner of Jon’s Barber and Sport Shop in Suttons Bay. The bay is so clear that anglers sight fish. They find a big smallie on or near a bed, drop a nightcrawler on them and hold on. Fish of five pounds are fairly common. Or for bigger boats, try trolling for lake trout in 30 feet of water off Lee Point, Smith suggested. Clearly, it’s a good time to be fishing in Leelanau County.

Continued from Page 1 numbers are building.” But the big story for charter captains has been the lake trout, which are running larger — and tastier — than in past years. Once lakers were known as being too “oily,” possibly because the most prevalent fare for them in Lake Michigan was alewives. But another non-native forage fish, the goby, is now found in large numbers and taking over the diet of lakers. Suddenly, it seems, lake trout are making a comeback as table fare, Crandel said. The lakers, which have been going up to 10 pounds, are more accessible than salmon. Lake trout are found on first and second banks just a few minutes out of the Leland Harbor. “You’re looking for the trout in the 60-80 foot

TANNER SMITH of Suttons Bay Public School tries out a climbing wall at Michigan State University during his free time at 4-H Exploration Days last week.

4-H group returns from MSU exploration Leelanau County sent 136 teens and adults to Michigan State University last week for 4-H Exploration Days, according to MSU Extension youth educator Barb Duvall. Every year, 4-H members from around the state are invited to the MSU campus in East Lansing to experience the wide variety of activities offered through 4-H. Over the three-day event, teens sign up for several activities from hundreds offered, ranging from model rocketry and baking to animal husbandry and martial arts. Students spent two nights in MSU dormitories, ate in student dining halls, and had plenty of free time to explore the campus. The 4-H members and adult chaperones departed Leelanau County last Wednesday morning, June 22, and returned Friday evening.

Pharmacy Topics “Where your good health is our business” We Accept TASC Cards The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Abstral (fentanyl) transmucosal tablets to manage breakthrough pain for adults with cancer. Fentanyl immediaterelease transmucosal medications are administered on the soft surfaces of the mouth (inside of the cheek, gums, tongue), or the nasal passages or throat where they dissolve and are absorbed. Breakthrough pain is pain that comes on suddenly for short periods of time and is not alleviated by a patient’s normal pain management plan. *** Most anti-epileptic drugs are associated with an increased risk of non-traumatic fracture in individuals 50 years of age and older, according to a report in the Archives of Neurology. Anti-epileptic drugs are also considered a secondary risk factor for osteoporosis. The individual anti-epileptic drugs studied included carbamazepine, clonazepam, ethosuximide, gabapentin, phenobarbital, phenytoin and valproic acid. Additional anti-epileptic drugs with fewer numbers of users were included together under “other anti-epileptic drugs.” The likelihood of fractures was highest for persons taking phenytoin followed by carbamazepine, other, phenobarbital, gabapentin and clonazepam. The only anti-epileptic drug not associated with an increased likelihood of fracture was valproic acid. *** Brought to you as a public service by

The front pond in Veronica park, purchased with the help of a grant from the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund, has been set aside for kids to fish. The county planned to restock the pond with more 5-7 inch bluegills yet this week, which should give youngsters a place to successfully catch fish through most of the summer. The event would not be possible without the help of its many sponsors. Beyond the Leelanau County Parks and Recreation Commission, they include the Lake Leelanau Lake Association, Michigan DNR, Cedar Rod and Gun Club, Leelanau

Lots of kids — and fish

The sky was blue and so were the ‘gills’. Young anglers filled up on bluegills Sunday at Kids Fishing Day, taking advantage of a recent planting in Kids Pond at Veronica Valley Park made specifically for the annual event. One such person was Zoe Korson, 7, of Cedar. “I love fishing,” she said. Added her sister, Emma, in an assertive tone, “I caught the biggest so far.” At eight years old, she was putting worms on hooks and casting on her own. Four-year-old Murial needed a little more help, keeping the siblings’ father, Ken Korson, with his hands full. “I can’t fish when I’m with them. I’m just trying to keep them from snagging each other,” said Korson, who was clearly enjoying his role as a patient, non-fishing guide. Meanwhile, mother Tara Gosling was missing all the action, off on a bike ride. Bright skies and pleasant temperatures were factors in a jump in attendance at the event, according to Kids Fishing Day chair Pete Taylor, He was keeping track of attendance, which topped 600, while his wife, Mary, helped youngsters create colorfully painted flags from plastic fish moldings. Also popular was a display and educational presentation from Rebecca Lessard, director of the Wings of Wonder raptor clinic. Lessard’s winged friends ranged in size from the diminutive American kestrel to a turkey vulture.

Slaw Fest

LYNN DUNN serves the delicious end product — the work of many hands — at the 102nd St. Wenceslaus chicken dinner on Sunday.

A lot of hands on deck help make St. Wenceslaus dinner a success By Amy Hubbell Of The Enterprise staff

Many hands make the job easier. So say volunteers for the St. Wenceslaus chicken dinner held Sunday. One-thousand two-hundred and thirtyseven were served at the annual event held at the little Bohemian hamlet. The church has just 68 registered families. Crews were at work Friday morn-

HELEN KORSON, former county register of deeds and Gill’s Pier native, has lent a hand at many a St. Wenceslaus chicken dinner in her 90 years of life.

ing, setting up tables in the parish hall and cleaning and cutting vegetables in preparation for coleslaw and stuffing. “Altogether we go through 120 lbs. of onions; 21 lbs. of carrots and two cases of celery,” said Phyllis Korson, whose husband, Martin, works as administrator of the church. “We use 70 lbs. of onions for the dressing.” Joann Burnham and Linda (Houdek) Dunham were among those wielding sharp knives chopping celery Friday. Dunham, a Gill’s Pier native who recently moved back to the area, remembers working with her uncle, Lawrence, selling soda pop at the dinner 40 years ago. Burnham is a newcomer. “I’m a transplant,” said Burnham, whose husband, Keith, produces a daily blog on life in Leelanau called The Leland Report. “I guess I’m a ‘rounder’, I live here year-round.” The strong smell of onions permeated the air of the church basement. In the kitchen itself a larger group congregates, chopping celery. Cousins Mary Ann (Grant) Kolarik and Grace (Plamondon) Kolarik stood across from one another, both chopping on cutting boards on an island in the kitchen. “We’re first cousins and we married cousins,” Grace explained. Neither had tear-stained cheeks, despite the many pounds of onions they had peeled earlier. “We do it under water, so it doesn’t bother us,” Mary Ann explained. The following day, Paul Hallstedt

and Jim Menna were in the basement of the church chopping heads of cabbage quarters. Rich Popp put the chunks of cabbage into a mechanized cutter and Elmer Kalchik ran a large knife through the large container which had been filled by Popp. “I don’t like there to be big chunks,” said Kalchik, admitting he didn’t know how many heads of cabbage the crew would chop. “I don’t know, we just work until it’s done.” (Concluded on Page 2)

A FEW heads of red cabbage also go in to give the traditional coleslaw a little color.

Strawberries cropping up just in time By Chris Olson Of The Enterprise staff

The start of the season was delayed by about two weeks due to a cold and wet spring. “We started picking berries today (June 21) and the fruit is looking great. We have lots of berries, we only had a frost problem once this spring, the weather just pushed our picking date back,” Bardenhagen said. It was the latest start for picking strawberries since 2009, Bardenhagen said. (Concluded on Page 2)

STEVE BARDENHAGEN is happy that the 17 acres of strawberries he has planted were finally ready for picking this week.

Centerville woman knows how to jam Peggy Zemanek wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t good at canning, but she liked strawberry jam. So the Centerville Township woman began making freezer jam. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I make about four dozen quart-size containers,â&#x20AC;? said Zemanek, who has become known as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;jam ladyâ&#x20AC;? at St. Mary School auctions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I make enough for us and donate some to our school auction.â&#x20AC;? As the name implies, freezer jam is stored frozen and requires less cooking time than that of traditional jarred jam. Zemanek was scheduled this week to make a visit to the Gillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pier home of Mary Ann Kolarik, where she handpicks all the berries used in each batch of jam. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more economical that way,â&#x20AC;? said Zemanek, who grew up on a farm downstate that had blueberries and strawberries. After cleaning the fruit, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;jam ladyâ&#x20AC;? crushes the berries; mixes in sugar (according to the pectin directions) and lets the fruit/sugar mixture stand for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, she stirs the dry pectin into 3/4 cup of water, bringing it to a boil over medium-high heat for one minute. Next, she stirs the water/pectin mixture into the berries, allowing the jam to stand for three minutes before pouring into storage containers and frigerate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After 24 hours I pop them in the

freezer until weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready to use,â&#x20AC;? Zemanek said. It will take her at least two, perhaps three trips to the berry patch to get all the fruit needed for her familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jam and her donation for the school auction. That may be all the time she can

Strawberries cropping up Continued from Page 1 â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want is any rain. Rain will make already ripe berries soft and mushy and we wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to pick them. Ideal weather would be sunny so the berries dry out a little, warm but not too warm temperatures and cool evenings,â&#x20AC;? he said. Unfortunately for Bardenhagen and other county strawberry growers last Wednesday was one of the wettest days the county has experienced with 1.4 inches of rain recorded at the Leelanau Enterprise weather station. Another .1â&#x20AC;? was recorded Thursday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were out picking yesterday (Thursday) and it was just miserable,â&#x20AC;? said Pam Bardenhagen, Steveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife. All this rain has impacted Bardenhagenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fruit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The rain damages the biggest, most ripe berries. You have to leave them in field because they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dry out and rot starts to set it,â&#x20AC;? he said. The good news was the weather was ripe for the picking over the weekend, with lots of sunshine, no rain and temperatures in the mid to upper 70s. Bardenhagen Berries has the largest number of acres planted in strawberries in the county. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have 17 acres bearing fruit this year and another five were planted this spring,â&#x20AC;? he said. Last year, Bardenhagen and his crew of workers harvested 166,000

pounds of berries. This year? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is really too early to say. If we can dry up and get good picking weather, we should be OK,â&#x20AC;? Bardenhagen said. Nikki Rothwell, Northwest Michigan Horticultural Research Stationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s district extension educator, said she has visited or talked with the different strawberry growers around the county, including Bardenhagen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was out for a bike ride Sunday and stopped by Coldwell farms and picked up a quart of berries. The berries have great flavor. I had also picked some up from Bardenhagenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, also very flavorful,â&#x20AC;? she said. As to how big the crop will be this year, Rothwell agreed with what Bardenhagen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too early. I know the quality of the fruit is good. What they really need now is no more rain and for everything to dry out,â&#x20AC;? she said. Carol and John Coldwell have about an acre of strawberries and were busy Sunday manning their fruit stand located at the corner of Eagle Highway and Alpers Road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yesterday (Sunday) it was impossible to keep up. We had three people out picking, and the fruit stand was going,â&#x20AC;? said Carol Coldwell. Their strawberries are looking good, according to Coldwell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So far the fruit is looking great, it is of good quality,â&#x20AC;? she said.

But, she switched to a different tact and prepares baked goods, granola and quiche from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peggyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Country Kitchen.â&#x20AC;?

RICHARD POPP and Elmer Kalchik, from left, had no idea how many heads of cabbage they had to cut Saturday, the day before the 102nd annual dinner. In total, an estimated 500 lbs. of coleslaw was served.

An estimated 500 lbs. of coleslaw was served to diners at the feast which included: grilled chicken, dressing, potatoes and gravy, green beans, coleslaw, relishes, and dessert. Sunday morning, well after the fire is started in the barbecue pit behind the parish hall, the chopped cabbage, carrots and green peppers are mixed with the liquid that bring the coleslaw together â&#x20AC;&#x201D; dressing. Delores Houdek, 80, has been making the dressing for the famous coleslaw for at least the past 12 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lost track how many years Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing it,â&#x20AC;? she said. Houdek, with the help of an assistant, mixes white vinegar, sugar, oil, onion, celery seeds, prepared mustard and salt in a blender, producing 14 gallons of dressing alone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just dressing,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Journeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; spans three years, it allows superintendents to tackle real transformative changes in their districts that in turn can raise student achievement,â&#x20AC;? said William H. Hayes, MASA executive director. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Murray) has distinguished himself above his peers by going beyond basic school administrator certification to learn high-impact strategies that will improve Suttons Bay Public Schools.â&#x20AC;? The program addresses seven researched-based points of learning critical to becoming a highly effective superintendent: leadership, management, relationships & communication, data-informed planning and decision making, organization development politics and teacher and learning.

Mike Murray, Superintendent of Suttons Bay Public Schools, has earned an advanced endorsement on his school administrator certification. Murray earned the credential over a three-year period through a professional leadership program offered by the Michigan Association of School Administrators (MASA). In the voluntary program called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Courageous Journeyâ&#x20AC;?, public school superintendents engaged in classes, forums and online interactions to improve leadership skills and apply those skills to improve staff and student outcomes in their districts. This program leads to a specialty superintendent endorsement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Courageous

The 20th annual Senior Expo held last week at Suttons Bay High School was a “huge success” according to Rosie Steffens, director of the Leelanau County Commission on Aging, which organizes and sponsors the event. Some 521 visitors signed in for the event last week, Steffens said, although it was clear that more people were actually in attendance. More than 750 people were served a free baked and barbecued chicken dinner with all the trimmings at the expo. Leelanau County Emergency Services director Tom Skowronski and a crew of volunteers were responsible for preparing and serving the lunch in the high school cafeteria. The Medicine Lodge Singers from the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians provided an opening ceremony for the expo with Native American drumming and singing. More than 100 exhibitors providing products, services and other items of interest for area residents age 60 and older set up booths or offered demonstrations and other information at the event. Steffens reported Jean Plowman of Empire won the grand door prize of an original painting of a farm scene by Leelanau County artist Bill Sterrett.

The Omena Historical Society (OHS) opening reception last Sunday was a tremendous success with a great crowd celebrating the OHS’ fifth year in the historic Putnam Cloud Tower House. Larry Bensley gave a wonderful history of the house, told from the house’s perspective, and George Anderson talked about his years in the Anderson Store, which used to be in the building next door (now the Tamarack Gallery). The event also included an unexpected highlight with visitors who are descendants of the Cloud family. Francis (Fran) Henry Cloud Frey is the great-grandson of Francis Cloud who purchased the house from Rinaldo Putnam, and added on to it, including the tower (hence, ‘Tower’ house). Fran was here with his wife, Mary, and his daughter, Betsy Schneider, and two of her sons, Zach and Will. They all live in Cincinnati, and were in the county because Betsy and her husband have just purchased a home in Leland. Fran had great memories of the Cloud family that he shared with people. The Frey’s are also distant cousins of Marsha Buehler. If I figured it right, Fran is Marsha’s third cousin, so Zach and Will are her third cousins-twice removed. Marsha and her husband Tom were helping Marsha’s father, Jim Centner, celebrate his 89th birthday on Sunday in Northport, so they missed seeing the Frey’s. It was serendipity that the Frey family was at the opening. Fran had come over Friday afternoon, hoping to see the museum, but it was not open yet. So, he went to browse in the Tamarack Gallery, which he enjoys doing when he’s up here. Lynn Spitz-Nagel Sutton was bringing some of her art work into the gallery and heard him mention his disappointment at the museum being closed. She mentioned the opening event to him, and the rest is history! Lynn and her husband Ron were joined at the opening reception by his son and daughter-in-law, Matt and Katrina Krause and their children, Maddie and Chloe. Matt is a Major with the U. S. Army’s JAG, and the family is in the process of relocating from Charlottesville, Virginia to

Amberg, Germany. Heidi and Bill Biederman are enjoying a full house this week. Their son Bill and his wife Amber and their two daughters arrived this past Monday and will be here through the Fourth of July. Abby is 16 months old. Kate is 4½ and is going to be the flower girl in Heidi’s cousin Julie Landa’s wedding in Coronado, California in July. Heidi and Bill’s grandson Jake Biederman, who is Rob and Kim’s son, also arrived this week and will be staying with them for the month of July. Jake is 9½ and recently made the traveling soccer team. He likes to do volunteer work for the Omena Village Preservation Association while he is here. Ashton Abbott arrived last week to join her father, Waldo, and brother, Mack. Mack just graduated from Georgetown University and will be working for Nomura Securities in New York City. Ashton is pursuing her MBA at NYU. Ashton’s boyfriend, Evan Uhlick arrives today for a visit over the Fourth of July weekend. Evan is in the MBA program at Columbia University’s Business School. Bob and Karen Gelakoski arrived from St. Petersburg, Florida for the summer along with Karen’s mother, Lily Thorpe, of Venice, Fl. Bob and Karen enjoyed an Italian vacation in May. They visited Florence, bicycled for six days along the Tuscan coast and spent three days in Rome visiting wonderful ancient sites. John and Mary Helen Ray are here from Wilmette, Illinois after some cross-country travels. They were in Phoenix recently to see their son and daughter-in-law Michael and Samantha Ray and their newest grandchild, Tatum Elizabeth, and celebrate her one-month birthday. Then they flew to Boston to attend the eighth grade graduation of their granddaughter Meghan Ray, and enjoyed a visit son and daughter-in-law Kevin and Karis and lots of activities with the grandchildren. They got back to Wilmette in time to experience a mini-tornado there last Tuesday. Tom and Amy List are here from Denver, Colorado with their son Sam, and their twin daughters, Livvy and Nellie. Amy and their children are here for a month, and Tom will be back and forth from Denver. Ellie Stephenson is here from

Lebanon, New Hampshire for the summer. Her sister, Bizzi, flew from Salt Lake City to New Hampshire and drove to Omena with Ellie. Margy Lyon is here from Cincinnati for the summer. Chris Verdery and his mother Pat Kulick are here from Ocean Springs, Mississippi. Dan and Maureen Teller from Cincinnati are staying at the Rule Cottage. Five of their seven children are with them for the two-week visit - Micah, who is an English major at the University of Dallas, Jack, who is 17, Lucy, 13, Mary Clare, 10, and Meg, 8. This is their first time staying in Leelanau County, and they are having a great time exploring the county, as well as riding bikes, canoeing, and swimming. Micah’s girlfriend, Katie Smith, who also attends the U. of Dallas, was here for the first week. Larry Reynolds is back from his annual fishing trip to Canada. He and long-time friend Doug Friedrich, of Pensacola, Florida, had a great time in pursuit of the “big one” near Wawa, Ontario. John and Judy Smart were recently in New Orleans for a wedding. They had a great time, and especially enjoyed a tour of the near-by swamps, which they had never seen before. John Mitchell’s new book, Grand Traverse – The Civil War Era, is hot off the presses and in book stores near you, including Dog Ears Books in Northport and Brilliant Books in Suttons Bay. I already have an autographed copy. John will be speaking at the Omena Historical Society on Thursday, July 7 at 7 p.m. The Northport Promise needs volunteers to help on the drop off days, July 9, 16, and 23 from 9 a.m. – noon at the garage sale location across from Woolsey airport. They also need volunteers to do pricing and to help the days of sale, Saturday, July 30, 2011 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Sunday, July 31, 2011 from 8:00 am to 1:00 p.m. Contact Patty Sherman, 386-5527, or Patty Barnett, 386-5797. Happy 75th Birthday to Chuck Dickerson, who was born on the Fourth of July. Look for him at the fireworks — he never misses them. Happy Birthday also this week to Dana Colling and Hope Weist. Happy Birthday to our Nation. I hope everyone has a safe and fun Fourth of July.

Glen Arbor paraders encouraged to toss treats over the crowd, not into the streets By BILL THOMPSON Phone 334-4486 Fax 334-3546 email: BThomp9264@aol.com * * *

Time for my annual parents’ plea, the Glen Arbor parade is an incredible happening for this small town. I am once again asking the parents and the people in the parade to use common sense when it comes to the candy thrown. For the people in the parade, I know it’s a lot of fun to throw candy, but please, please throw it over the crowd. Do Not just drop it in the street. Parents, I know it is fun for the kids to get candy, but think, is it important enough to get a leg, arm or worse run over? Keep your kids back. The parade is great and we all want to ,keep it, but no one wants accidents and an unfortunate accident, no matter who is at fault could jeopardize future parades. Just think and use common sense. After that have a great time, you can do both. This is the actual kick off to summer in the area, lets make it a safe and fun start. The Glen Arbor Kazoo Corps marching band needs you. Meet at the Christian Scientist Church parking lot and wear red white and blue. All ages are welcome and kazoos will be pro-

vided for those who for some strange reason don’t have their own. The Glen Arbor Fire and Rescue Association Pancake Breakfast will be on Sunday the 3rd from 8 a.m. — noon. At the Glen Arbor Township Hall. Always good and for a great cause. On the fourth, in addition to the parade, at 10:00am the annual flag raising at Old Settlers Picnic grounds. Patriotic songs, readings and treats. At 10:30am at the Glen Arbor Art Association patriotic bike decorating. This Friday, Rod Bearup will be exhibiting metal sculpture. The exhibit will open at 6 p.m. and will run through July 7th. This is the beginning of the weekly exhibitions at the Center Gallery at Lake Street studios for the summer. Take the kids to the Pine Patch at the Cottage Book Shop in Glen Arbor, on Mondays and Wednesdays, Cindy Rosiek will lead projects and read books related to the theme of the day. On Saturday, the Manitou Music Festival, Northport Community Band will give a free performance on the lawn of the Glen Arbor Athletic Club at 4 p.m. The key word here is free. Another parade later in the day on the 4th, the boat parade. Boaters meet on Big Glen in front of the Glen Lake Yacht Club at 4:00pm. The parade

will cruise the West shore of Big Glen under the bridge, good place to watch, to the ramp on Little Glen and boats then go their own way. More fun, the Cedar Polka Fest from today through Sunday. Dancing, eating and a few beers. The Beach Bards started on Friday, June 24 for the first of the summer. Every Friday evening, the Beach Bards at Leelanau School. A few birthdays to celebrate, happy birthday to Les Haney, Pete Stern, Tim Nichols, Bob Ewing and celebrating five decades of life, that would be 50 years, that would be one half century, say it loud and say it proud, Joan Kilgore. Happy Anniversary to Kay and Merle Wilcox, Cherrie and Bill Stege. Special Happy Anniversary wishes to Helen and Don Smith for 65 years and to Barrie and Jack Riday who celebrated their 70th on June 23rd. Congratulations to all. Don’t forget, the memorial bricks are still available for the park. Contact Terry Gretzema at the Glen Arbor Township Hall 334-3539. It is Farmers Market time, every Tuesday in Glen Arbor and every Saturday in Empire. Welcome, have fun be safe.

Looking Back… George “Skip” Duhamel as defendants in the suit, which seeks damages in excess of $750,000 in connection with an incident which occurred April 18, 2000 in Good Harbor Bay. 35 YEARS AGO June 24, 1976 Summer has arrived officially and the forecast calls for seasonal types of weather. On a peninsula like The Leelanau, though, the showers might not materialize, or they might become real thunder-bumpers, which could be a good thing by giving much needed water to foilage and clearing the air for a glorious Fourth of July weekend. *** Placement of a new telephone cable in a 22-inch casing some 7 feet beneath the bed of the Lake Leelanau narrows at the village of Lake Leelanau was under way this week by the Michigan Bell Telephone Co. The work is part of a $600,000 project to expand toll and customer service from Leland to Traverse City. *** Susan J. Deering of Northport, Miss Leelanau County, will perform a piccolo-dance routine in the talent portion of the 1976 National Cherry pageant Friday night in Traverse City. Twenty-two candidates for the title of queen will participate in talent presentations. 60 YEARS AGO June 28, 1951 Leelanau County will have five candidates in the National Cherry Festival Queen Contest at Traverse City. Chosen this week are Janice Fredrickson, Northport; Nora Lou Waterman, Suttons Bay; Sally Gustaf, Greilickville; Norma Tobin, Empire; Lake Leelanau’s candidate, selected two weeks ago, is Helen Couturier. *** The Destroyer Escort Daniel A. Joy, 585, largest naval vessel on American fresh waters, anchored Tuesday afternoon in Leland harbor while her top officers and a crew came ashore in a whale boat. Reason for the visit to Leland was to allow Robert Newell, staff reporter for the Indianapolis (Indiana) News to file a story to his newspaper. He was doing a feature article on the 93 naval reservists, all from Indianapolis aboard ship. *** John Ingwersen’s plan to cut two million feet of lumber on South Fox Island was delayed by weather last Thursday when the tug Major, pulling a 50-foot steel barge loaded with equipment, ran into severe southwest winds in Lake Michigan off Lighthouse Point and had to turn back into shelter for five hours. 115 YEARS AGO June 25, 1896 Highway Commissioner Claus Alpers is on North Manitou Island this week looking after the highways over there. *** Brother Bunting of the Empire Leader was in our village on Tuesday in the interest of his paper, and made us his usual call. *** The Tiger will run another of her popular excursions on next Saturday.

county with images of cherries, grapes, a tractor and blue waters. 10 YEARS AGO June 28, 2001 Wanting to keep areas of South Manitou Island accessible has landed the county Road Commission on the opposite side of the Sierra Club. But Road Commission officials defend their position, saying that a resolution to retain right-ofway ownership and keep two-track roads open has been blown out of proportion. The Traverse Group of the Sierra Club has passed its own resolution opposed to opening new or keeping existing roads open on South Manitou Island. *** Tart cherry growers and processors are facing a near-record crop this year, but a myriad of options could make them money or leave them in the red, literally—staring at cherries dumped on the ground. The U.S. Department of Agriculture 2001 cherry crop forecast estimates that northwest Michigan will produce 175 million pounds of tarts this year, an increase of more than 60 percent over 2000. *** Two Native American fishermen are being sued for negligence in connection with a boating accident on Lake Michigan.

5 YEARS AGO June 29, 2006 A majority of the Bingham Township Board and several other township residents, including two former top township officials, have expressed concerns about how the current supervisor, Robert W. Foster, is doing his job. Some Bingham residents say they are worried that Foster has on several occasions taken actions affecting the township that have not been discussed with the township board. *** A concept is emerging among Elmwood Township planners and Dr. John G. and Elnora Milliken that the best future for 230 acres that was once eyed as the site of a massive water park project might be as a regional park. Or a Traverse civic park. Or some other type of ownership that could make the land, which offers sweeping views of West Grand Traverse Bay, a center point for community use. *** The Bicentennial Barn in Cleveland Township has portrayed our country with patriotic images for the last 30 years. This year Leelanau County gets its turn in the spotlight. “It’s a labor of love,” barn owner Susan Shields said proudly of the repainting project of the county icon that started last summer and is continuing this year. A new graphic element on the barn pays tribute to the

He will join John Caroll’s Department of Theology and Religious Studies this fall. Hahnenberg has authored three books — Ministries: A Relational Approach; A Concise Guide to the Documents of Vatican II and Awakening Vocation: A Theology of Christian Call — and numerous articles

in academic and pastoral journals. He served as a consultant to the U.S. Bishop’s subcommittee on lay ministry in its preparation of the document Co-workers in the Vineyard of the Lord. He will also continue to sustain connections with theological communities both regionally and worldwide. The National Association for Lay Ministry recently presented Hahnenberg with its “Spirit of the Conference Award” for his work as a leader in the discussion about the Catholic Church’s understanding of the role of laity and the future of ministry.

After his crowning, a king commissioned his artists to hang a silver bell in his tower. “I’ll ring the bell with my hand,” he said, “only when I’m happy.” Anxiously the people waited for the ringing of the bell, but it was silent for years. One day, while dying, as some of his weeping subjects surrounded his bed and his palace, he learned that he was loved. Then he rang the bell. Think of it – a lifetime of unhappiness, because he didn’t know he was loved. Love brings happiness – to the one who gives it and to the one who receives it. Tell others, “God loves you, and I love you too.”

Despite rain, corn planting was just about on schedule No need to be embarrassed

TOM SHIMEK stands in rows of field corn at his farm along M-72 in Empire. The delayed planting and lower yields have had an effect on corn prices, which were up to $7.14 per bushel last week. Moore expects that the price of soybeans will drop because more farmers are moving to plant them. Parker believes a high demand for corn will also affect prices. According to Parker, the consistently big corn yields around the country in the last few years have been met by demand, and the demand will remain steady if the supply drops. “Now you’ve got a situation where the demand is up and possibly there are problems with the crop,” Parker said. “I expect prices to stay strong.” High corn prices are good for farmers who sell the crop, and bad for any that have to buy corn to feed livestock. Lautner said that aside from the late corn planting, his hay, wheat and oat crops have been doing well this season. The cool, wet weather has been especially good for oats and hay. To support corn crops, Lautner, Shimek and Parker hope for warm temperatures and timely rain this summer. Shimek is optimistic about this year’s crop. “It will be knee-high by the Fourth of July,” Shimek said.

Wet conditions this spring have affected corn crops in the southern part of Michigan, but Leelanau County farmers are having a pretty normal season. “We didn’t have the issues they had south of us,” said Wes Parker, a farmer in Solon Township. “Our planting season’s been pretty much normal. “There’s always good and bad days.” Corn planting in Leelanau County typically takes place in May, and did for farmers like Tom Shimek of Empire. Shimek had his corn crop in mid-May, right on schedule. Other farmers like Terry Lautner of Elmwood County, didn’t have his corn crop in until the first week of June. “The corn is the only thing that’s a little bit behind,” Lautner said. “But considering what’s going on in other parts of the country, it’s doing pretty well.” Scott Rozanski of the Northern Lower Michigan National Weather Service Forecast office in Gaylord said the weather this spring has been typical of La Nina pattern, especially in April. La Nina is a weather pattern associated with cold ocean temperatures and typically intensifies normal weather conditions. For Michigan, that means a cooler, wetter spring, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. “Just about everybody has had above normal rainfall around the state,” Rozanski said. Rozanski said the NWS weather station in Maple City recorded 4.83 inches of rain in April. Typical April rainfall is 2.51 inches. Lake City, near Cadillac, had 7.09 inches in April instead of its normal 2.96 inches. For June, the average 30-year rainfall in Maple City is 2.95 inches, and as of last Thursday 5.05 inches had been recorded. Parker said that having adequate moisture is ideal for planting corn, but not so much that the seeds rot in watersaturated soil. Too much water was the problem that farmers ran into downstate. It has delayed planting, and caused some farmers to grow soybeans instead of corn, according to Stan Moore, the area’s dairy educator with the Michigan State Extension Service. When farmers plant later in the spring, they are limited in the varieties of corn they can plant. Some varieties take longer to mature, maybe 85 days. Varieties with longer maturity rates have higher yields, which makes them more profitable. Delayed plantings mean farmers have to use corn that matures faster. “That really starts to eat into their yields and potential profitability,” Moore said. Usually, farmers downstate can produce around 200 bushels of corn and those upstate produce about 100 per acre. A bushel of corn weighs 56 pounds. “We’re just not in the corn belt,” Moore said. “It just happens to be this year we’re doing as well as some of those guys.”

New superlight golf components are opening a new frontier in golf club design. Up to 25% lighter than traditional golf clubs, senior, women, and recreational golfers might consider trying the latest superlight drivers, fairway woods, and hybrids with flexible, lightweight golf shafts and grips to help generate higher swingspeeds and distance with less effort.

I started one of the first golf equipment web sites called Clubmaker Online, (http:// clubmaker-online.com) in 1996 at the start of the internet craze. Today I get 35,000 unique host visits to the web site a month. I publish a newsletter with 7,700 opt-in subscribers called The Clubmaker Report, and I'm working on building a large Facebook and Twitter following. My web site/newsletter is a resource for golfers that are interested in making their own golf equipment. I sell components (shafts, grips, clubheads) and specialize in building lightweight golf clubs for recreational golfers (http://thedriverstudio.com). I have recently designed a lightweight driver dedicated to our area, called the Traverse Microlite.

Glen Arbor parade has something for everyone Of The Enterprise staff

The Glen Arbor “Anything Goes” July 4 Parade started as a lark, an idea and a way to keep children entertained. “It started with the Glen Haven people. Stan Brubaker started it with his children and it grew from there,” said Bill Thompson. Thompson, along with his wife Dottie, own and operate Grandpa’s Place, a seasonal apartment rental in Glen Arbor. As to when the parade was first held, Thompson is not sure. “We’ve been here for 25 years, but the parade was going on when we got here,” he said. A review of past issues of this paper show the first reference made to the Glen Arbor parade is in 1981. Unlike the Leland July 4 parade, the Glen Arbor parade was open to anyone who cared to participate. According to the newspaper account people were to assemble in front of Brubaker’s home in Glen Haven before noon, then proceed to Glen Arbor and go all the way up to the Homestead before heading back into Glen Arbor. The route has been modified since then. The motorized entries still assemble in front of Brubaker’s home starting at 11 a.m. on July 4, with the non-motorized entries gathering at the Christian Science Church on M-109 just before Glen Arbor. The motorized entries leave Glen Haven at noon. When they get to the

church, the walkers, bicyclists, horse riders, etc., mix in with the motor-running entries and the mass of humanity, machinery and animals proceeds through Glen Arbor and ends at the Quick Stop Gas Station. “Stan is the star of the parade. He has been the heart and soul of it since the beginning,” Thompson said. Brubaker was on vacation and unavailable for comment. “This parade is really a fun, silly, family-friendly event,” Thompson said. “I don’t have an entry in the parade anymore, but my brother does. “He gets his kids, puts them in the back of his truck, and there you have it, a parade entry.” Part of the “Anything Goes” tradition is a variety of parade entries. You will see everything in this parade, from reenactments of the famous Spirit of 1776 painting walking down the street, to children on their freshly done-up bicycles featuring red, white and blue streamers, to just groups of people walking in the parade. “There is no limit on what you can have as an entry,” said David Marshall, president of the Glen Lake Chamber of Commerce which took over sponsorship of the parade 10 years ago. But Marshall said the parade is now and always will be Brubaker’s baby. “All we do is publicity for the event, put ads in the newspaper, and let people know what is going on. The details of the parade are left to Stan and we wouldn’t want it any other way,” Marshall said.

Since its humble beginnings, the Glen Arbor parade has grown and grown. In an election year spectators can spend up to an hour watching the entries go by. “Usually it takes about a half-hour to 45 minutes in a regular year. It just keeps getting bigger and bigger,” Marshall said. “I think the parade gets bigger each year because it is made for families. “You have dad and the kids in the parade, on a float, with mom and grandma standing somewhere along the route watching and taking pictures. Then they do it again next year, only this time they have their neighbors with them.” While there are new entries each year, some popular long-time entries include the Kazoo Band and the Cherry Republic float. Former State Supreme Court Justice Betty Weaver is the leader of the band and is easily spotted in front by her distinctive red, white and blue attire. The Cherry Republic float is usually topical and always includes the Cherry Republic Bear, a role normally played by the businesses founder, Bob Sutherland. As to what will happen to the parade once Brubaker moves on to the big parade ground in the sky, Marshall and Thompson said this July 4 tradition will continue well into the future. “This is definitely Stan’s baby, but it has grown into something more. People really look forward to it every year and I don’t see it ever stopping,” Marshall said. “This parade is here to stay. I can’t imagine and Glen Arbor July 4th without it,” Thompson said.

Despite name, coffee club an All-American icon By Alan Campbell Of The Enterprise staff

It’s less “international” than the cheap coffee served. It’s bean counter — the guy in charge of keeping track of all those quarters and the scoops of Maxwell House — doesn’t even like coffee. But it is all American, as its name would suggest, with a glorious history that helped put Leland on television sets across America at a time when most households could only get three stations. The International Coffee Club of America has been serving up coffee to its “members” — which is to say anyone who shows up — for more than 47 years. The Fourth of July is a special occasion for the organization, as its the only day when women are — gasp — openly invited to join the den of masculinity. Bob Mello of Leland, a soft-spoken member who rarely misses his morning cup of coffee in the meeting room of the Leland fire hall, believes the chauvinistic side of the club is overblown. He cites reaction to the “official” club float as it putts through Leland in the Fourth of July parade as an example. “The biggest applause comes from the women. It’s an opportunity for them to get their husbands out of the house for a couple of hours,” said Mello. Wayne Wunderlich serves as head officer for a club that boasts of having no officers — which somehow makes

“Every man attending is considered as an equal. You may be sitting next to a millionaire, a lawyer, a judge, a doctor, a business man, a gardener, an orchard grower, a handyman, a carpenter, a General in the U.S. Army, a governor, a fisherman or a famous airline pilot.” — Excerpt from the 25th anniversary historical account of the International Coffee Club of America.

sense. It was formed to unite the community around a cup of coffee, and some times those darned elections can cause consternation. Consequently, no evidence exists to prove a vote of club members has ever been taken. But someone needs to be in charge of tallying up the quarters, handing out official membership cards and buying the coffee. Members share responsibility for brewing coffee. While the unofficial meeting time — remember, very little is “official” with the club — starts at 10 a.m., coffee is usually available by 9:30 a.m. or so. Wunderlich also has the very important job of counting the number of visitors, which is proudly changed daily on a chalk board in the fire hall. On June 17, visitation had moved to 476,255. For some reason no one could explain, the club also keeps track of the number of visitors since the fire hall was remodeled in August of 1988 — 288,952. Wunderlich stepped into the role of club non-officer several years ago. “I’m the quartermaster, treasurer and keeper of the money,” he said. “He’s not even bonded,” cracks someone. “They know where I live,” offered Wunderlich, all in rapid succession. Wunderlich is proof that the club accepts all comers in that he doesn’t drink — or like — coffee. Wunderlich, too, downplays the “man” aspect of the club, drawing from personal experience. He was one of three county commissioners who drew the ire of one of their peers, Melina Lautner, who still holds her seat. The incident occurred about 10 years ago, when it seemed the only issue facing county government was where to build a courthouse. Lautner accused Wunderlich and other male commissioners of lobbying

Lautner, wearing a skirt and high, white boots, walked into the club at 10 a.m. one morning — and even drank a cup of coffee. Mello said the guys seemed to enjoy the female companionship. Wunderlich thought the incident, which resulted in a story in the Leelanau Enterprise, was overblown, and suggested the club might welcome an occasional female visitor. “It’s the last chauvinistic bastion in the United States — but that’s not a correct statement. It’s amazing how many women come to say something, but stop at the door,” he said. Like everything about the club, there’s also a story behind the float. It consists of two parts: a coffee-brown dune buggy and a wooden pot of coffee riding in the back seat. Time has worn details of how the float came to be a regular attraction in the Leland Fourth

Attendance will once again spike on the Fourth of July when women and children will be invited to share a cup of coffee with the men-folk. Tea and hot chocolate are also offered.

room for expenses. When Wunderlich was asked how he chooses the brand of coffee to buy, he’s blunt: “Whatever’s on sale.” Fifteen or so men were meeting when a reporter visited for this interview, a number that will grow to 20 to 25 during most summer mornings. The number dwindles to a dozen or so in the off season. During the club’s peak, 40 men would assemble on a near-daily basis. But the club suffers from attrition, as (Concluded on Page 5)

Golden anniversary brewing with location in limbo The International Coffee Club of America should be around to celebrate its golden anniversary in three years even as work progresses on development of the former county courthouse complex. The club meets six days a week at 10 a.m. in the Leland Fire Hall, which may not be needed for firefighting in the future if the township succeeds in build-

ing a new fire station off M-204 between Leland and Lake Leelanau. Meanwhile, Leelanau County has sold its former courthouse property to the Varley-Kelly Properties corporation, which has approval to sell condos across the street from the fire hall. But the hall is owned by the Leland Township Volunteer Fire Department, a non-profit organization — not the town-

ship. Present unofficial club treasurer, coffee-maker and dish washer Wayne Wunderlich believes members will continue to share cups of coffee where the club started for many years to come. “It’s written into the lease with the township that we can meet here,” said Wunderlich. “You’re not going to get rid of these coffee heads that easy — no, no, no.”

It’s been a symbiotic relationship through the years, as many — or perhaps most — of the volunteer firefighters were members of the coffee club, filling their cups when not on runs. The coffee is available to firefighters at all times — if someone makes it. “We leave coffee for them,” said Wunderlich.

Those participating — whether they’ve signed up or not — are asked to be in line at least by 2 p.m. The theme of the parade was chosen at least partially to encourage participation. It’s “Marching to a new drummer.” In the past, some groups may have refrained from entering because they found it difficult to follow the parade theme, Tegard said. “Sometimes people didn’t know what to do. But everybody can march, and everybody can beat on a drum,” said Telgard. “If grandma and grandpa want to be in it, they can just hold a flag and march down main street.” Parade entries are available online at www.lelandmi.com. Also sought are nominations for parade marshal, king and queen. They can be made to any Leland Community Improvement Association member. The association board of directors consists of president, Telgard; secretary, Steve Chambers; treasurer, Barb Varley; and trustees, Dave Kareck, Malcolm Chatfield, Laurie Lisuk and Bob Schlueter.

LONG-TIME CLUB member Sam Adams (passenger side), now deceased, joined driver Bob Mello on the club float in a past Leland Fourth of July parade.

All-American club Continued from Page 1 everyone in attendance appeared eligible for Medicare. The days of the club being representative of full-time workers have long since passed. “I’m 82, can’t you tell,” said one member. “I’m 85,” replied Bill Grinnell from Elmwood Township, a dedicated member. He’s a former Leland resident who still makes the drive to enjoy coffee with friends. The club has decades of momentum behind it. A front-page picture showing men gripping coffee cups ran in the March 5, 1964, Leelanau Enterprise. Most men were standing; it appeared all seats were taken. The cutline started, “They wanted a coffee break every day, so Leland’s male population got together and established their own coffee shop in the community room in the Leland fire station.” Members wrote a historical account for the club’s 25th anniversary explaining that the “morning get-together was the brain-child of Harry P. Harrison of Leland and Chicago. Mr. Harrison was the general manager of the Redpath Chautauqua with headquarters in Chicago. One of the biggest concerns was the relationship between local and summer residents who had homes in the Leland area.” Harrison discussed his concern with E.J. “Dino” Ziebell, then-publisher and owner of the Enterprise, and determined that a “cup of coffee could bring the men together.” Ziebell set out 75 letters announcing a plan to establish a coffee club; 29 men attended the first meeting. Jim Van Ness,

a Consumers Power Company engineer, became “Chief Coffee Maker” — a position he held for 18 years. The club achieved its founding goal, according to the 25-year account. “The Summer People found it was a very easy way to reach the local men they needed for help by attending the Coffee Club, and the Local Men found out that the Summer People were nice fellows and it was great knowing and working for and with each other.” The club took on the good nature of its members. Soon it was sponsoring a weekly movie at the fire station, A sawmill steam whistle was mounted on the roof of Van’s garage to be blown at 10 a.m., signifying that coffee would be served. The Fourth of July was designated as “Ladies Day,” attracting up to 150 people. And the club’s reputation spread. Stories were carried in newspapers not only published in Michigan, but also Cincinnati, Indianapolis and Los Angeles. The National Observer sent a three-person news crew. Publicity peaked in 1974 when Charles Kuralt and a crew of five spent three days in Leland making a seven minute “On the Road” film and story. But since then — with the notable exception of the Lautner visit — the men of the International Coffee Club have quietly sipped away. That’s why the Fourth of July is important. It opens the door to a part of Leelanau County’s heritage that continues six days every week. Admission, and membership, is still 25 cents.

It’s not too late to join in one of Leelanau County’s treasured events, the Leland Fourth of July Parade. “We say online that entries have to be in by June 16, but we take people right up until the hour before the parade,” said Lynn Telgard, president of the Leland Community Improvement Association. The association sponsors the parade along with a myriad of local events. Telgard broke away from the kitchen in the Bluebird Restaurant to talk a bit about the parade, reflecting one of the event’s problems in recent years. It seems everyone is busy — including Telgard, who owns the Bluebird with her husband, Skip, “The hardest part is finding people with the time to participate,” said Telgard. Still, members of the improvement association always seem to pull off a first-class parade, offering a variety of awards for the best entries. The parade will step off promptly at 3 p.m., and you can bet both sides of M-22 will be filled. It’s one of the biggest attractions on the Peninsula.

Patriotic music tugs at the hearts of listeners, performers By Carol Thompson Enterprise intern

JOAN BROWN, from left, Judie Leece and Mary Kay Davis sing “Sentimental Journey.” Brown, Leece and Davis make up the Mill Street Sisters Trio and will be performing in Glen Arbor on July 2 and in Northport on July 4 with the Northport Community Band.

This weekend, people throughout Leelanau County will be celebrating our nation’s independence with parades, hot dogs and sparklers. Although each Fourth of July tradition is special, patriotic music often evokes the most emotion. And every year on the Fourth when the Northport Community Band and the Village Voices perform the “Armed Forces Salute” for crowds, that emotion runs the highest. The salute is a medley of the anthems from the U.S. Army, Coast Guard, Navy, Marines and Air Force. Veterans and the men and women currently in the service are invited to stand while their anthem plays. The Northport Community Band will be performing on July 2 in Glen Arbor with the Mill Street Sisters trio at 4 p.m., and on July 4 in Northport with the trio and the Village Voices at 7 p.m. “It’s always very special,” Northport Community Band director Don Wilcox said. Wilcox said the Fourth of July weekend is one of the biggest, and most emotional, weekends for the band. He has been directing the Northport Community Band for three years after founder Ken Bloomquist stepped down, and is a retired band director from West Virginia University. The band will play other patriotic music like the “God Bless America”, marches by Karl King, and “Stars and Stripes Forever” by John Philip Sousa.

The Village Voices choir, which will perform at the Northport concert on July 4, has its own special tradition for the Fourth of July concert and gets the audience involved. Each year, the choir performs a special arrangement of “Battle Hymn of the Republic” and invites people from the audience who know the arrangement to sing with the group. For the hymn, Village Voices director Carol Bachmeyer said the group sometimes swells to nearly 70 people from the 45 or so choir members. The Village Voices will perform some numbers, like the “Star Spangled Banner”, with the band, and sing some, like “This Is Our Country,” on its own. Elements of concerts include “Battle Hymn of the Republic” and the “Armed Forces Salute” and make the Fourth of July concerts special to performers and listeners. For Mary Kay Davis, one of the Mill Street Sisters, the Fourth of July concerts really put the patriotic spirit of Leelanau County on display. “It’s the coming together of community,” Davis said. “We have a very patriotic community.” The Mill Street Sisters trio will perform with the band at both Fourth of July performances, and singing jazzy, patriotic songs like “Don’t Sit Under the Apple Tree,” “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” and “Alexander’s Ragtime Band.” Some songs will be performed with the band, and others with pianist Bobbie Lange as an accompaniment. The trio

has been together for over 10 years, and is directed by Ann Bloomquist. All of the members of the trio enjoy performing at Fourth of July celebrations. “It’s a beautiful night,” trio member Judie Leece said. Bachmeyer said the Northport concert always has a great atmosphere. The groups play the evening before the fireworks, and the audience is enthusiastic about the celebration. “I would bet there’s at least a couple hundred people that are sitting out there in their lawn chairs listening,” Bachmeyer said. Although many people in the audience are grilling, playing games and catching up, all are enjoying the performances. “Everybody seems to have a really good time,” Wilcox said. Residents and visitors in Leelanau County have their own favorite patriotic songs. Andre Gingerich Stoner, visiting the county from Indiana, likes to hear “This Land is Your Land” by Woodie Guthrie. The song talks about the strength and character of working Americans and doesn’t glorify war, which Stoner said most patriotic songs do. “It highlights the natural beauty of this country, which is truly magnificent,” Stoner said. Whether it’s by packing a picnic and listening to local groups perform or by turning up the radio, people in Leelanau County will be enjoying plenty of patriotic music on the Fourth of July.

Mounted patrols a part of Fourth of July festivities Of The Enterprise staff

Chuck Yearn’s favorite memory of the mounted patrol in a Leelanau County parade came when a woman wanted to borrow his white horse. It happened about 10 years ago, Yearn recalled. The patrol was going to be riding in the Glen Arbor July 4 parade. The lady, who was dressed up like George Washington, was a big hit. She looked just like Washington, Yearn said. “When the parade ended I told here, ‘Now he comes the toll. I want you to lead the patrol in the Leland parade this afternoon,’” he said. Yearn, who no longer rides in the mounted patrol, is one of the founding fathers of the Leelanau patrol which will be featured in parades this Fourth of July in Glen Arbor, Leland and Cedar. Yearn, who had spent 20 years as part of the Oakland County Sheriff’s Department Mount Patrol before moving up to Suttons Bay Township in 1995, gave up horse riding four years ago. But he still loves a parade. “My wife became ill and it’s hard for her to get around,” Yearn said. “And I was getting of the age where if I fell off my horse I wouldn’t bounce, I would break, and we couldn’t have both of us off our feet.” Yearn’s favorite horse, his big white lead horse, had to be put down at the age of 33. “My other trained mount is still in the county and is under the care of my grandchildren,” he said.

Yearn used his lead horse in just about every appearance he made with both the Oakland and Leelanau county patrols. When Yearn moved here, he had enough space to keep a couple of horses. “It seemed an interesting opportunity to start up a mounted patrol in the county with Grand Traverse Band,” Yearn said. So working with the Grand Traverse Band Police Department, Yearn gathered a crew of horse riders and formed the first unit in 1998. In the early years the patrol was under the authority of the tribal police department. “We trained in crowd control, search and rescue. We worked a lot out at the Turtle Creek Casino helping out with security,” he said. Around 2000, Yearn said the tribal government was looking at ways to reduce government spending, so the captain of the tribal police department suggested he talk with county Sheriff Michael F. Oltersdorf about moving the patrol over to the county. “He liked the idea, so now we were under the authority of the sheriff’s department,” Yearn said. Yearn had been commander of the patrol, now under the control of Sheriff’s Deputy Mary Patterson. She was unavailable for comment. Cedar’s Ed Budd, a former commander who still rides, has been on the patrol from its beginnings. “I was up at a parade in Northport when I saw Chuck and his group ride by,” Budd said. “I tracked him down afterward and said I wanted to be part

THE COUNTY SHERIFF’S Mounted Patrol will be busy over the July 4 Holiday weekend. On Saturday, the patrol will be part of the Cedar Polka Fest Parade, and on Monday, it will take part in both the Glen Arbor and Leland July 4 parades. of this.” The county Mounted Patrol had 20 members at its peak. “At first we did a lot of stuff, not just parades, but worked at events. But, now we just mainly appear in parades,” he said. The main reason for the reduction of the mounties is expense, Budd said. All members of the patrol are volunteers. They own their own horses, pay for their upkeep and buy their own uniforms. They also pay to transport their horses to and from these events. “It’s so expensive to move these horses around. It went down to 10, now we have seven or eight. The price of fuel is what’s doing it,” Budd said. Budd has two Clydesdales and a quarterhorse. “When I ride with the patrol, I ride one of the Clydesdales. They are big, powerful horses and people seem to really like them,” he said.

Three displays in Leelanau County Three Independence Day fireworks displays will be launched in Leelanau County again this year. The first will be in Leland on Sunday, July 3, at dusk. The event will be held at Hancock Field across from the Leland Country Club. For the past several years, there has been plenty of room for spectators, most bringing a blanket or portable chair. Parking near Hancock Field is hard to come by, however. Those who park elsewhere in downtown Leland should allow a little extra time to walk to the park. The Village of Northport will stage a fireworks display on July 4 at dusk. The launch site is located in a secure area on the Northport Bay beach at the end of Smith gave the chamber of commerce and local units of government ample notice about their decision to step back from fundraising for fireworks. He said part of the challenge in Traverse City involves the role of the National Cherry Festival which also contributes money to the overall effort. Another challenge involves the role that Traverse City emergency responders must play in traffic and crowd control. “You can end up paying less for police coverage if the Traverse City Police are also on duty for the National Cherry Festival, which paid them $40,000 last year,” Pickard said. “Without the Cherry Festival going on at the same time, we got Traverse City Police Department cost down to $5,300.” In Northport and Leland, the groups involved in fundraising for fireworks have not been asked to pay any additional money for police or emergency services — but they still need to pay for the fireworks. “The cost varies from year-to-year, but this year the Leland fireworks will cost us around $6,500” said Telgard. “It would be nice if we could get everyone, or at least every family, to

Street, and the best views of the fireworks are from the grounds of the Northport Marina and adjacent parks. Parking near the waterfront becomes nearly impossible as the time for the event approaches. Driving a vehicle out of Northport after the event can take some time as well. Also on July 4 at dusk, fireworks will be launched over West Grand Traverse Bay from Grelickville in Elmwood Township. Although the display may be viewed from the Elmwood Township Marina and adjacent parks, most spectators are directed to the Open Space on the Traverse City waterfront. Blankets and portable chairs are recommended there as well.

pay the ‘movie ticket’ price of $8 to $10 apiece. “If people simply paid the amount they pay for other forms of entertainment, all our costs would be covered.” Mattson said the Northport fireworks will cost around $10,000. An additional $4,000 to $5,000 goes to pay for trash removal after the event, insurance, porta-potties for the comfort of spectators — plus the hiring of a band to play live music before and after the event. The Leland fireworks are done by a Leelanau County-based contractor, Peninsula Pyrotechnics (See accompanying story). In Northport, village officials purchase their own pyrotechnics which are ignited by a core group of Leelanau Township Volunteer firefighters every year, one of whom is a licensed pyrotechnician. “Why do we do this even if it takes so much effort?” Mattson asked. “We do it because we live in a great country, and we ought to celebrate our freedom in a fun way that everyone can enjoy. “It’s wonderful to see people having such a great time.”

IN PAST YEARS, fireworks were shot in Leland off the harbor. They’ve been moved to Hancock Field more recently.

1-10-8

Fourth of July fireworks displays sponsored by local municipalities are paid for with taxpayer dollars, right? Wrong. Although local governments are involved in organizing and managing pyrotechnics displays, the money to make it happen generally comes from private donations. And the people who sponsor annual Independence Day fireworks in Leelanau County are always looking for money to defray the cost, ranging from $6,500 to around $25,000 per annual display. “Even if we raise enough money to cover the cost of fireworks for one year, any additional donations we receive go into a fund for the next year’s fireworks,” explained Northport’s Steve Mattson, who has volunteered to help administer a fireworks fundraising campaign for his community for many years. A similar approach is taken in Leland where Lynn Telgard, president of the Leland Community Improvement Association, helps coordinate the fireworks fundraising campaign. “Every year, we somehow pull it off — but sometimes just barely,” Telgard said. “And if we end up with a little more money than we need that year, it goes into the kitty for next year.” Telgard said it’s not too late to make a contribution. “We can take the money anytime of the year for fireworks; and we need it,” she said. Fireworks fundraising procedures in Northport and Leland are fairly well established, with special accounts set up to accept donations deposited in canisters placed at businesses and other venues throughout the community. In some cases, direct mail campaigns bring in funding for fireworks. In both communities, sometimes a handful of anonymous donors pull through with very significant contributions. For Leelanau County’s largest fireworks display, however, the responsibility for raising and administering funds for fireworks has been in a state of flux. The largest fireworks display in the county is sponsored primarily by people from neighboring Grand Traverse County and is viewed primarily by people in Traverse City. For many years, a coalition of several Traverse City-area veterans groups have raised funds for Fourth of July Fireworks which are loaded onto a barge in Grelickville in Elmwood Township and shot off over West Grand Traverse Bay. The southeast corner of Leelanau County provides a very good vantage point to view those fireworks, but most of the spectators are across the county line in Traverse City. The head of the Traverse City area Veterans Coalition, Jack Pickard, said his group last year decided that it would no longer be appropriate for them to seek monetary donations from local units of government to fund the fireworks because of government budget cutbacks; and they decided to turn the fundraising effort over to others. The Traverse City Chamber of Commerce this year has taken over responsibility for administering funding for the fireworks. The chamber’s Mike Norton credited local radio personality Mary Rogers with playing a key role in raising the $25,000 needed to pay for Traverse City’s fireworks this year — which will once again be launched from Leelanau County on July 4. “This was a new arrangement, and it would be nice to be able to do it again next year – but not while we’re in panic mode,” Norton said. “The chamber would like to continue to be helpful in this regard. But it would be good if the community could decide how funds will be raised for Traverse City’s Fourth of July fireworks going forward.” Pickard said the Veterans Coalition

Maple City native Joe Wisniewski is a hard guy to catch up with this time of year. “Hop in!” he tells an Enterprise reporter while jumping into his van. Country music is playing on the radio. Just as the van door shuts, Wisniewski’s cell phone rings. “Look, I’m already running three hours behind,” he tells the caller. “Let me get back to you.” Wisniewski guns his van up a dirt two track off County Road 667 to one of the three “magazines” he uses to store hundreds of boxes of professional-grade fireworks. Made of cinderblocks with a thick metal roof and an even thicker doublelocked door, the specially designed enclosure represents the inner sanctum of an elite fraternity of professionals. There are only a handful of companies in Michigan authorized to buy, store, and sell “real” fireworks. These are not the consumer-grade variety of so-called fireworks that don’t actually rocket into the sky and explode — these are not the fireworks that people like you and I can buy at a supermarket. These are the big boy fireworks. Wisniewski’s company also manufactures fireworks accessories such as professional-grade mortars and control boards — to say nothing of actually putting on some of the most spectacular fireworks displays in the Midwest. Only one such company in Michigan has such strong ties to Leelanau County. Wisniewski grew up in Maple City and started his company, Peninsula Pyrotechnics, here. Although he still stores most of his fireworks here where many of his relatives still live, he and his company are now headquartered down in Copemish, in Manistee County. “Right now, I’m supposed to be at the Gizzard Festival way down in Potterville,” Wisniewski explained, “so we’ve got to get moving.” His cell phone rings again. He checks caller ID. It’s the Gizzard Festival again. According to his web site, Peninsula Pyrotechnics offers a variety of services including automated fireworks shows, special effects, explosions, custom choreographed fireworks displays, indoor and outdoor pyrotechnic shows and light and laser shows. “You got me right at my busiest time,” Wisniewski says. “Any closer to the Fourth of July and you wouldn’t even see me, I’d be moving so fast.” One of the things that has kept Peninsula Pyrotechnics busy in the last couple of seasons is their regular gig putting on fireworks displays at Wuerfel Park during Friday night Beach Bums baseball games. “We’ve even done a few private fireworks displays for famous movie stars,” Wisniewski says. “We do weddings,

Family reunions at the lake is what the Fourth is all about By Mike Spencer Of The Enterprise staff

The sign says Friends Welcome ... Relatives By Appointment outside the Carole and Denny Becker crib on Little Glen Lake. But there’s no appointment necessary when it comes to the Fourth of July. The Beckers have had a standing invitation for family for the Fourth since the they bought property in Glen Arbor in 1997. “It’s been a lot of fun and good times,” said Denny, preparing to make some new memories and collect new photos for their annual memories book. “I’m making some lasagna and cookies and I’m getting everything cleaned up,” said Carole, prepping for the family holiday which usually starts before about four days before the Fourth and ends four days after. “We just don’t want to work when they get here.” The Beckers aren’t alone in getting their families up on the lake in Leelanau County for the Fourth. Judy Levin of North Lake Leelanau started doing it 37 years ago as a way to blend her families after a second marriage. “It’s wonderful to bring everybody together to even further their relationships and become closer,” Levin said. “They talk about it during the year of what they’re going to do when they get here on the Fourth of July. “This is one of the high points of everyone’s year.” The Beckers have three children, all married, and four grandkids. That usually makes for an even dozen in their spacious home on Little Glen Lake. Sons Jeff and David trek from Chicago annually while daughter Amy comes from Oregon. The Beckers have been coming up to the lake for 35 years, ever since the couple spent part of their honeymoon climbing in the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore Park. In the early years, they pitched a tent at DH Day Campground and swam in Little Glen Lake and spent a lot of time on the dunes. “Although we always enjoyed camp-

The Beckers, who were living and working in Ann Arbor, bought a small cabin on Little Glen in 1997 and then built a new one in 2003. They retired up north in 2005 after Carole completed a career as an educator and Denny was a health information executive. Ever since they have made the Fourth of July a week to remember. Among the Becker's Leelanau traditions are feeding the ducks on the lake, hiking the dunes, cycling, kayaking, tubing, playing horseshoes on their beach and watching the Glen Arbor parade. “We’ve always talked about getting

in it, but the kids just want to watch,” Carole said. “So we all wear red, white and blue and watch. “We wouldn’t miss it.” The Beckers have also spent some time at the Cedar Polka Festival. “There’s always something to do here,” Carole said. The Beckers usually have informal breakfasts and lunches because all the family members are on vacation and get up at their own leisure and then run or ride a bike to kick off their days. But each night the family gets together for a big dinner. Each member takes turn making a meal. “We’re real foodies,” Carole said. “We like really good food. “My sons do special meals with

mussel and shrimp boils. And my sonin-law loves to barbecue.” The elder Beckers even take turns getting up with their grandchildren, Sydney, 9, Breckan, 6, and Adeline, 2. They’ll get a chance to wake-up with 4-month-old Lane this weekend. “Yeah we spoil them, but the whole point is to have a really good time so they’ll come back next year,” Carole said. “Everybody loves it here,” Denny said. “We want it to feel like a vacation to our kids and it gives us quality time with the grandkids.” The Levin activities evolve around various family homes in the county, but center on Judy’s place in Leland. “Each couple plans an activity and a

meal,” she said. “So the burden just isn’t on one person.” Levin, a Detroit native, started making the Fourth of July a special family tradition in Leelanau 37 years ago. It was shortly after Levin had remarried and wanted to make sure the blended family was united. “The whole thing was to bring the children together in a neutral territory away from their pasts and try to blend our family because blending is of utmost importance,” Levin said. Like most families, the Levins do traditional things, such as participating in the parade on the Fourth in Leland. “It feels good and it’s very important,” Levin said. “It’s all about honoring our veterans and the people that put themselves on the line for us. “We can all walk in the parade and our kids had never walked in a parade.” Each Fourth is also started with a picnic at a secluded Lake Michigan beach, followed by the Leland parade. The night concludes with an after dinner walk and bonfire to watch fireworks. One of the best early family memories Levin said was crossing the street from the Jolli Lodge south of Leland on Lake Michigan to the Manitou Market. “The smells from the bakery were unforgettable,” she said. “And to this day, our family says Mrs. Schaub’s cinnamon twists and Italian bread are the best.” Another tradition was to have a family photo taken yearly by a big old birch tree on the water. The Levins, who have also invited friends of the family over the years, have a core group of 24 people. But Levin, and her husband Sheldon, have had as many as 75 at one time. The core group includes sons, Stephen Schwartz who has a farm in Suttons Bay Township, son Michael of Ypsilanti, and daughter Lori Borovoy, who make a 10-hour car trip from their home in Toronto. A recent addition has been Judy’s sister’s family. “It’s a big deal,” she said. “But I never thought it would get this big.”

Too-cool food ideas for the Fourth By Amy Hubbell Of The Enterprise staff

This spring hasn’t been the warmest on record. So, according to Murphy’s Law, we’re due for a sizzling Fourth of July. The last thing you want to do is spend a lot of time in a hot kitchen. Don’t sweat it. There are plenty of sumptuous summer edibles available that don’t require slaving over a hot stove. We decided to take a couple of approaches. The first is for an impromptu picnic whose basket would be the envy of even the most disciplined “Yogi” bear. The second meal, which calls for more preparation, would establish sweet summer memories for years. Leelanau’s landscape includes dozens of venues for a last-minute rendezvous. Any of the beautiful beaches and scenic overlooks in the county will do. A moonlit boat trip on Lake Leelanau or either of the Glen Lakes would also work. The lovely locales require the goodies in the basket to be transported easily, without hassle and in some cases sans cooler. Nothing travels better than crusty loaves of Stonehouse Bread. So that’s a must. What goes well with bread? Kristen and Sarah Landry former operators of Kejara’s Bridge in Lake Leelanau, are also known as “The Redheads” who produce three varieties of hummus, a chickpea-based spread or dip. They would complement any picnic basket. The Landrys offer Rebelliously Robust Garlic,

Defiantly Dynamic Pesto and a Teasingly Terrific Sundried Tomato. Say cheese. How about some cheese from the Leelanau Cheese Co. Anne and John Hoyt’s semi-soft, nutty tasting raclette would travel well as would their spreadable fromage blanc. And you can’t say cheese without considering any bottle of wine made in Leelanau County. With nearly 20 wineries, the Land of Delight has ample “home grown” varietals from which to wash down the basket of goods. Know what else would go well with the goodies in the pic-a-nic basket … smoked Lake Michigan whitefish. Or maybe pickled bologna, a good old standby. Last summer, it would have been easy to find cherries to put fresh cherries out of reach for now. Instead try Leelanau strawberries available later than normal – perfect for the Fourth of July. For the more complicated — yet still cool — meal, we’re going to Recipes from the Michigan Woods, a book by Garnet Olsen. The book, copy written 1946, is by Olsen, who called it a diary of the many happy years she spent in loving service at The Homestead and The Leelanau School. “The students and summer guests have so often requested my recipes that I thought that it would be fitting to get them together in a cook book,” Olsen wrote, adding that “only the very best have been chosen and carefully tested.”

The author believed the recipes would bring back many happy memories of “gayety” and laughter, the warmth of friendship, the charm and grace of kind hospitality. To others, it would bring anticipation of an early visit, and the peace and fragrance of the Michigan woods, Olsen wrote. Food historian Susan Odom, proprietor of Hillside Homestead, a historic farmstead near Suttons Bay, agrees with Olsen’s observation. “Food is powerful. It can evoke all types of memories,” she said. “People see my stove and say ‘My grandmother had one like that.’ Then they’ll go on to talk about what she used to cook for them.” The late 1930’s, early 40’s was a time when homeowners began entertaining. Cocktail parties were a new idea as were multiple, small-plate courses. So, we turn to Olsen’s book for a “cool” meal that will likely take more time than our impromptu picnic, but won’t be exceedingly complicated. Using produce that is readily available, how about a strawberry cocktail that can be whipped up in no time at all. Simply take a quart of berries, the juice of two lemons, one quart of water and two cups of sugar. Garnet mashed the berries well and added the water and lemon juice, allowing it to stand for three hours before straining and adding the sugar. “Serve at the beginning of a luncheon in tall, narrow glasses, reserving three or four whole berries, cut in two, for each glass,” she wrote. Even back then, it was all about “presentation.” How about a cool, delicious salad that can be whipped up in a jiffy? Garnet has several recipes that fit the bill. But this entry for “Grape Cluster Salad” caught our eye.

Grape Cluster Salad Place halved pears, round side up, on grape leaves. Spread with cream cheese that has been slightly softened with milk. Cut grapes in half and remove seeds. Cover the pears with grape halves so they resemble bunches of grapes. Serve with French dressing. Her Salad Luncheon Plate had to have been popular at her Glen Arbor area dining rooms. Salad Luncheon Plate On a bed of lettuce place a slice of pineapple. Cover with 1/4 cup of cottage cheese, seasoned with salt and

moistened with whipped cream. Cover with another slice of pineapple if preferred and top with a spoonful of the cheese. Arrange slice of avocado, grapefruit sections, tomato wedges, and strips of lean broiled bacon attractively around pineapple. Service with French dressing. American cheese cubes, and bananas cut in half lengthwise or sliced may be added. Serves one. Garnet may have served either salad with her gingerbread muffins which include 13 ingredients, but nothing that can’t be found in most pantries.

Gingerbread Muffins Ingredients are: 2 eggs, 3/4 cup sugar, 3/4 cut molasses, 3/4 cup melted shortening, 3 cups sifted flour, 1/2 tsp. baking powder, 1/2 tsp. cloves, 2 tsps. ginger, 2 tsps. baking soda, 1 1/2 tsps. cinnamon. 1/2 tsp. nutmeg, 1 cup boiling water. Add beaten eggs to the sugar, molasses, and melted shortening. Add dry ingredients which have been mixed and sifted and lastly the hot water. Bake in muffin pans in a “moderate” over for 30 minutes. “Delicious served with honey butter,” Garnet wrote.

trate and lime. Michelle’s sister-in-law Joyce LaLonde, a Leland native, does her part of support the cherry industry with her own drink mixture, a cosmopolitan, which also includes the concentrate as an ingredient. She explains the process: “Mix 2 shots of Grey Goose vodka, 11/2 shots of Cointreau and 1 shot of Rose’s lime juice in a drink shaker,” LaLonde said. “Add ice until it’s 3/4 full.” Next she mixes concentrate and water and pour it into the shaker until full. Then shake. “The key is to shake it hard for 2 minutes,” LaLonde said. Garnish the glass with orange slices.

Pour into cups and drop a slice of strawberry or raspberry into each. 3.) Then the white. Start heating fruit juices to simmer in a saucepan. Pour the room temperature rum into a large bowl, sprinkle gelatin over the rum, avoiding clumps. Let it sit a minute, then add hot fruit juice white stirring with a fork. (a beater makes it too fluffy). Add sugar and stir until dissolved. Pour into individual cups. 4.) Set cups on all colors on cookie sheets to cool in the fridge. You can stack full cookie sheets on top of one another. Chill until set. From food.com.

Although the breeze off Lake Michigan makes the Leelanau Peninsula a “cool” place to be over the Fourth, there’s nothing like a liquid refreshment to stave off even the thirstiest guests. Be it out on the town or at the cottage or beach, there are plenty of options — both hard and soft — for those looking to salute our nation’s biggest holiday with a libation. The Cove, in Leland offers a red, white and blue drink which is sure to please the patriotic. The Yankee Doodle Daiquiri includes a strawberry layer, a Piña Colada and blue curacao, liqueur flavoured with the dried peel of the laraha citrus fruit, grown on the island of Curaçao. Although the liqueur is bright blue, it tastes like orange. For those not keen on mixed drinks, what could be more American than a Sam Adams or a good old PBR (Pabst Blue Ribbon) with the traditional colors of red, white and blue. Got friends coming up for the holiday weekend? The folks at food.com have a recipe that’s just the ticket for hosts who like to work ahead to prepare for guests. Red, White and Blue Jello Shots are festive and a fun addition to any adult party of barbecue. However, prep time is an issue. According to the recipe, preparation just takes 20 minutes. However, total time involved is 5 1/2 hours — probably most devoted to allowing the Jello to set. With kids on the guest list, just leave out the alcohol, for a cool summer treat. Leelanau’s red tart cherry concentrate can be mixed with most anything to come up with a drink with at least one of the Stars and Stripes. Michelle White, president of the Leland Cherry Company, has come up with a recipe for her own cherry margarita. Ingredients include tequila, Cointreau, Rose’s lime juice, Michelle’s Miracle cherry concentrate, salt and a lime or orange slice. “You can mix these up ahead of time,” she said. White also recommends an easyto-mix drink which can be served as a cocktail or a “mocktail”. It’s ingredients are: vodka, soda, cherry concen-

There are ways to get around festival The National Cherry Festival is coming to Traverse City on Saturday, and so are the crowds. The festival draws over 500,000 visitors from July 2-9 to the area, making driving through town and finding parking at the festival a nightmare for many Leelanau County residents. But with the three Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find getting in and out of Traverse City a breeze. By Bike If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking to get some exercise and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be stuck to a schedule, a bike is the way to go. The TART Leelanau Trail runs from Suttons Bay straight into the heart of Traverse City. Pick up the trail at 4th Street in Suttons Bay, Fouch Road in Bingham Township or Cherry Bend Road in Bingham Township. Parts of the trail are unpaved, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s over 15 miles from Suttons Bay to Traverse city, so be sure you and your bikes are ready to ride!

Horticulture Station is your cherry festival connection You can get a taste of the National Cherry Festival without having to leave Leelanau County. A mainstay of the festival, Cherry Connection: Bringing Together Festival, Farm & Fruit, will take place at the Northwest Michigan Horticultural Station in Elmwood Township July 4-8 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. At the station, visitors will learn first-hand how cherries are grown and harvested by taking orchard tours led by station coordinator Nikki Rothwell and other cherry experts. Visitors will learn about the varieties of cherries and the complicated things that go into growing them like pest management, the effects of weather and the length of time between planting a tree and harvesting its fruit. The event serves as an tool for visitors who want to learn more about the foundation of the cherry industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something that really is key to our message concerning the industry and gives us a great resource to really teach people about cherries,â&#x20AC;? said Susan Wilcox, marketing manager for

the festival. The Cherry Connection event will also include information about experiments that disclose the health benefits of cherries, demonstrations of new technology at the station and samples of cherry products. Free samples of products like salsas and healthy drinks will be available at the event, highlighting the innovation in the production side of the cherry industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really important to us to have that relationship with the cherry industry, while at the same time it explores and offers new cherry entrepreneurs a venue to have people learn about their products,â&#x20AC;? Wilcox said. Teaching people about cherry orchards can benefit farmers with increased sales, said Nita Send, director of cherry promotion for the festival. When people visit a cherry orchard, they develop relationships with cherry products, she continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you see them on a shelf you remember the good experience you had and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re more apt to buy them,â&#x20AC;? Send said. Visiting farms and orchards also helps people understand agricultural issues. For kids, there will be activities

like a poster coloring contest, pit spitting contests, pie baking demonstrations, a petting zoo and more. Kids will also learn about elements of cherry growing like pollination and what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like to be a cherry farmer. Connecting festival visitors with the cherry industry is an important element of this event, and makes it a very popular destination for festivalgoers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It continues to grow each and every year with numbers,â&#x20AC;? Wilcox said. Send thinks that the movement to know where your food comes from has also made this event popular.

fireworksâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;related injuries occur to children under the age of 14. And every year, 400 Americans lose sight in one or both eyes due to fireworks.

By staying in the water, you can avoid the hassle of parking and crowded streets and still get a great view of the fireworks and the music at the soundstage. Hopefully with these tips, the thought of fighting the crowds and traffic will be less daunting. Good luck, and enjoy the festival!

Suttons Bay grad finalist for Cherry Queen By Carol Thompson Enterprise intern

Laura Patmore of Suttons Bay will be representing Leelanau County at the National Cherry Festival as one of the top four candidates for Cherry Festival Queen. “I’m so honored, I’m so blessed and I’m so lucky,” Patmore said. “I love my hometown.” Patmore, 23, grew up surrounded by cherry orchards in Leelanau County. Her mother, Lucy, father, Steve, and brother Matthew all live in Suttons Bay. She graduated from Suttons Bay High School in 2005 and attended Aquinas College in Grand Rapids, receiving a bachelor’s degree in sociology in 2010. She is now attending Grand Valley State University, working on a master’s degree in education for high school counseling. After beginning college as a biology major, Patmore realized she wanted to work with kids and teenagers. “There’s so much life and energy in kids,” Patmore said. “It’s not easy being a kid today, and I want to be able to make an impact in their lives.” After she graduates, Patmore plans to live in Michigan and be a high

school guidance counselor. She hopes to live in Northern Michigan, but said it will depend on the job market. After living in Grand Rapids for six years, Patmore misses the sense of community there is in Leelanau County and the way time seems to stop when she’s here. “It’s peaceful up north,” Patmore said. “Time goes slower.” Patmore also loves that she can walk into Hansen Foods, a gas station or any store in Suttons Bay, and find somebody she knows. Everyone she runs into is fun, friendly and wants to have a conversation. Her love of community and her love of the cherry industry were what motivated Patmore to apply to be the national cherry queen in May. She worked for Send Receiving Station in Suttons Bay, measuring tanks of fruit and talking with farmers and processors. “It was fun to get to know that side of the cherry industry,” Patmore said. Patmore has been researching cherries and touring orchards since September, when she decided to run for queen. Today, Patmore will attend a kickoff party for the candidates, and tomorrow the big week will start. The candidates

will stay at the Great Wolf Lodge together and go to the different festival events. On July 8, the winner will be crowned. Since the selection weekend in May, Patmore has enjoyed being part of the cherry festival queen competition. She’s met a lot of women who are passionate about their hometowns and the cherry industry, and have the drive to represent them. To Patmore, being the cherry queen means being a representative for the community, the festival and the cherry industry. “I think she’s a positive spokesperson for the cherry industry and the festival,” Patmore said. The National Cherry Festival is a time when the community comes together to support the cherry industry and cherry farmers, Patmore said. It also gives people an opportunity to have fun and appreciate the great amenities in Northern Michigan, like the water, the shops and the food. Patmore wants to thank the community of Suttons Bay and Leelanau County for being supportive and loving. She is excited to represent the community and feels grateful and blessed to have grown up here.

Queen Maria says thanks for the memories

LAURA PATMORE of Suttons Bay is one of the finalist for Cherry Festival Queen.

Celebrating 84 Years!

7-16-9

As my reign as the 2010-2011 National Cherry Queen comes to a close, I would like to take the opportunity to reflect on my very memorable and outstanding year promoting the Cherry Festival and the cherry industry. I have been privileged to attend many events in Northern Michigan, including veteran’s events, other local pageants, meetings, community events and even school carnivals. It has been a pleasure to see firsthand all that our community has to offer and to celebrate. A highlight for me was traveling to Washington, D.C. for the White House Fellows Seminar. While there, I was able to present cherry pies to our Michigan Senators as well as to the Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard. Another unique opportunity I had was a photo shoot for Solace Magazine in Grand Rapids. I traveled downstate a few times, attending the Fruit and Veggie Expo in Grand Rapids, Ag Day at the Capitol and the Curwood Festival in Owosso. I also just returned from Mackinac Island for the Lilac Festival, which was particularly memorable as my family and I were able to enjoy the island for the weekend. I would like to thank everyone who has made my year as Queen so special. First and foremost, I would like to thank the Queen’s Committee and all of the staff at the National Cherry Festival office, particularly the director of the Queen’s Program, Kay Relyea. I would also like to thank Dr. Gary Kaberle, who gives tirelessly to the program year-round. My gratitude of course goes out to my family for their continuous support and encouragement. Thank you to Phil Korson and the Cherry Marketing Institute for providing me with the opportunities to promote the industry. My thanks to the National Cherry Festival Foundation for my generous scholarship, and to the Traverse City businesses, who helped to provide my wardrobe: Younker’s, Posh, What to Wear, Kay’s, Cherry Hill Boutique, Diversions, and Raven’s Child. Also, thank you to my sponsors, Northwest Michigan Farm Bureau and Leelanau Fruit Company for making this all possible. The Leelanau Enterprise has given me several opportunities to explain what the Queen’s program is all about and what it is like to be Cherry Queen, and I thank them for the outstanding coverage of my reign. Finally, thank you to my community and the individuals who all helped to make my year as Queen spectacular. Each year brings with it a new National Cherry Queen as well as a new crop of sweet and tart cherries. It is critical that we push to find ways as individuals to incorporate this fruit into our lifestyles. This commodity is so vital to our region, and I urge local residents and those who visit and enjoy our community to support the fruit that makes the Land of Delight so delightful. Every year brings new challenges to the cherry industry; therefore, we must always strive to find new ways to utilize this versatile fruit. I urge everyone to do the same in their own lives. Thank you for taking the time to follow my reign this year. I can only hope I have inspired even a few individuals to learn about the cherry industry, visit the Cherry Festival, or to look into what the Queen’s program has to offer. It has been an honor and a privilege to represent this community that is so close to my heart, and for that I am most grateful.

For this week’s “What We’re Thinking” feature, we asked residents and visitors in Suttons Bay the following question:

“It will soon be 10 years since 9/11. Do you think people have become more or less patriotic during the past 10 years — or have they stayed the same?”

“I think it stayed exactly the same. People were already patriotic, 9/11 didn’t change that. I was already patriotic, and it didn’t change my patriotism.” –Tom Burton, Lake Leelanau

“Definitely more. I think people now appreciate the freedoms we have here.” –Sue Bumpus, Northport
