200 county graduates ready to leave their mark on world By Patti Brandt of the Enterprise staff

Francis Wanageshik, 18, has a lot of reasons for wanting to go to college. Having a college education and the ability to earn more money will make life easier for him, the Northport senior said. It will also offer a better social life, motivate him to keep on learning, and give him the opportunity to travel and explore the world. “It’s the only way you can improve your life, by

educating yourself,” Wanageshik said. Wanageshik is one of just seven students who will graduate from Northport this year and one of 200 who will graduate from public school districts located wholly in Leelanau County. That number is down from 216 that graduated last year, and 244 that graduated five years ago, in 2007. This year’s class of seven in Northport is an anomaly, said Dan Stowe, assistant principal and social studies teacher. Typically about 15 students graduate each year. But being a member of a small class has its

perks — for both students and teachers. “You get to know them so well that it allows you to provide them with a lot of opportunities that other schools couldn’t,” Stowe said. “They have such individualized instruction in classes that are smaller. You can almost offer them an individualized curriculum. You probably can’t do that in a larger classroom.” At Suttons Bay High School, some 60 seniors will graduate this week, down from 72 last year.

Business booms in Leelanau By Amy Hubbell of the Enterprise staff

BOAT BEACHED

TODD HUCK and Jeff Hester from the Leelanau Township Fire Department responded to a call for help Sunday from the occupants of this boat which became grounded on the beach off Cherry Home subdivision during a weather incident called a ‘seiche’.

A picture-perfect start to the summer tourism season contributed to a big kick off to what’s anticipated to be a strong tourist season overall on the Leelanau Peninsula. While the weather didn’t last — thunderstorms, some of them severe, dominated Sunday — business owners are hoping interest in Campgrounds vacationing in fill, so do Leelanau County will. villages over All but a couple of the more than 240 Memorial Day publicly provided weekend campsites in Leelanau County and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore were occupied over the Memorial Day weekend. Leelanau State Park north of Northport filled all but two of its 51 sites and three cabins over the weekend. D.H. Day Campground near Glen Arbor was also full with all 88 sites occupied. Farther south in the park, the Platte River campground’s 96 campsite were filled. Even Sleeping Bear’s White Pine campground (Concluded on Page 19)

Good advice, along with some success stories By Alan Campbell of the Enterprise staff

A BARRED OW L E T, right and home-loving fawn, above will be heading back to the wilds.

If you see a hapless critter new to the world, keep in mind that orphanages in Leelanau County are full. “The best place for wild animals is in the wild,” said state Department of Natural Resources Conservation Officer Rececca Hopkins, who is stationed in Leelanau County. “They’re cute, but don’t pick them up. It’s illegal to possess them.” Hopkins was talking after a busy Memorial Day weekend in which she handled several calls from people who had picked up what they assumed were abandoned offspring, often fawns still wobbly after birth. Amy Harrison didn’t pick up a fawn — the fawn picked her. Or her dog, to be more precise. Harrison, who lives in the Cherry Home development in Leelanau Township, let her dog Oliver into the house, followed by what was eventually named “Olive” — a fawn that made itself at home.

“She must have thought that Oliver was her mother even though Oliver was a male,” Harrison said. “He walked into my house, and she was following right behind him. It was the funniest thing you’ve ever seen.” The animals bonded quickly with licks to themselves, making Harrison nervous about releasing a fawn that smelled more like a dog. She took the fawn to a couple in Leelanau County that specializes in strengthening wild animals for release. In another example, a couple handed a baby deer to a park ranger at Leelanau State Park, insisting that the fawn was left behind and would not make it without human intervention. They did not tell the ranger where the fawn came from, preventing its placement near its home. The fawn ended up at the doorstep of the same couple, who have been certified by the DNR to handle wild animals. But they’re running out of (Concluded on Page 19)

Obituary correction: We goofed on something we don’t get a second chance on. Martinson Funeral Home provided an email with an obituary and graveside service last week that never made the newspaper. It was instead left in our “obituary” mailbox, where it languished until the mistake was made. We apologize to the families of Bonnie M. Grubb and Richard C. Lee for the mistake.

Submitting an obituary ... The Leelanau Enterprise considers the deaths of Leelanau County community members as important news. As such, the Enterprise does not charge to publish obituaries within our standard format. Anyone who at one time resided in Leelanau County or owned a summer home here is eligible. We ask that the deceased’s connection to Leelanau County be included in information provided the Enterprise when not obvious. We work in conjunction with area funeral homes to assure that obituaries are published in a timely fashion. Should the funeral director your family is working with be unfamiliar with the Enterprise, please ask him or her to forward information for a free obituary to the newspaper. While many families find our standard format appropriate, others would prefer to include more of their own wording or seek to include more information in their loved one’s obituary. In those cases, we will work with funeral directors and family members to publish a custom obituary. There is a charge to publish such obituaries. Obituaries may be faxed to 231 256-7705, mailed to 7200 E. Duck Lake Rd., Lake Leelanau 49653, or emailed to obituaries@ Leelanaunews.com.

Festival going to the birds; after all, it’s their event By Amy Hubbell Of The Enterprise staff

Birders of all ages are expected to descend on the county for the second annual Leelanau Peninsula BirdFest. The event, based at Fountain Point south of the Narrows on Lake Leelanau, includes birding expeditions at locations within the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, along the TART Trail, Veronica Valley, Cedar River, Suttons Bay wetlands and Leelanau State Park. Registration started yesterday, with ofﬁcial events kicking off this morning. “The funky weather we’ve had this spring has dragged out the migration,” said Kay Charter, executive director of Saving Birds Thru Habitat. “It looks like we don’t have birds coming through, but its a longer, thinner stream. That will provide an opportunity to see some species which would already have gone through … like the blackpole warbler.” Featured outings include an afternoon with the endangered Piping Plover this afternoon; a ﬁeldtrip to the Arcadia Dunes Friday morning; and a trip to Good Harbor Bay to see the Prairie Warbler. A complete list of events is avail-

able at www.mibirdfest.com/schedule. Registration is required for most sessions and can be completed at Fountain Point. An extra session has been added to the program to look for the elusive Least Bittern. “I’ve only seen one in my lifetime of birding,” Charter said, adding that keynote speaker Brian Allen spied the bird within the Lakeshore. Allen is the president of the Manistee Audubon Society, former member of the Michigan Bird Records Committee, editor of the American Birding Association’s publication A Birders Guide to Michigan. A small marsh bird, the Least Bittern measures 13 inches in height and is slender with a streaked brown breast. “It stands in the cattails and hides and they wave back and forth,” Charter said. Allen will lead the hike in search of the bittern at 1 p.m. Saturday, meeting participants at the parking lot for the Sleeping Bear Visitor’s Center in Empire. Allen will also provide a PowerPoint presentation, “The Birds of Peru” Saturday at 3:30 p.m. at Fountain Point. Today and Saturday the Visitors’

PARTICIPANTS had their binoculars at full attention at the inaugural county Bird Fest. Center in Suttons Bay will hold a Bird and Bug Safari for children age 5 and older. Naturalist Ann McInnis will lead a safari through the tangled jungle of the Suttons Bay Marina wetland on the boardwalk looking for bird and insect life. Binoculars will be provided for the event, scheduled from 9 to 9:45 a.m.

Glen Arbor to host five races; Township Board ponders regulation The Glen Arbor/Sleeping Bear area appears to be becoming the “place to race.” That premise has officials in Glen Arbor Township pondering the development of regulations and a fee schedule to cover its costs. Glen Arbor’s Township Board voted earlier this month to establish a subcommittee to study development of an application process for organizations hosting athletic competitions and fundraisers within the township. The township is scheduled as the site for no less than five races/competitions this year. The first race, the M-22 Challenge set for June 9, is expected to draw nearly 700 competitors. Endurance Evolution will host the

Glen Arbor Solstice half marathon & 5K June 16. The Glen Arbor Women’s Club will host the 6th annual Running Bear 5k Run/Walk and 1/2 Mile Kids’ Run, July 24. A 5-mile “Dune Dash” beneﬁtting TART Trails Inc. is set for Aug. 18. And the Sleeping Bear Marathon, also sponsored by Endurance Evolution, is set for Oct. 7 in Glen Arbor. “As a township we have to take what we’ve learned and come up with criteria … ‘Here’s what you have to do to race in Glen Arbor Township”,” Trustee Bill Thompson said. Treasurer Terry Gretzema agreed. “We’ve been reactive to all these races. I suggest we don’t bring any more on until we see how these go,”

Plans for Elmwood fishing pier draw public comments About 25 citizens attended a special public input session last Thursday on plans to construct a fishing pier at the Elmwood Township Marina, according to harbormaster Mark Benedict. He said many of those who attended were boaters with slips at the marina who were concerned that privacy might become an issue depending on where and how the pier is designed and constructed. Benedict said an Ann Arbor consulting firm that completed a new master plan for the marina last year, Smith GroupJJR, presented three preliminary draft plans at the May 24 meeting and agreed to bring a fourth plan back for another public input session next month. The harbormaster said the consultant’s initial plans indicated that the pier could be connected to the marina and the adjacent Greilickville Harbor Park by two bridges, but those in attendance at the meeting agreed that only one bridge from the park would be necessary. “The consultants are scheduled to come back to our next Marina Committee meeting on June 28 with some new and additional drawings,” Benedict explained, “and there will additional opportunity for public input at that time.” Benedict said he expected the Elmwood Township Board would accept a formal recommendation from its Marina Committee and approve a plan for a fishing pier sometime this summer.

The township this year was granted $45,000 from the Great Lakes Fisheries Trust to help plan for and create engineered drawings for a fishing pier. Township officials say they will seek additional grant funding to construct the fishing pier, hopefully sometime within the next few years. — By Eric Carlson

he said. Issues such as the route of the race, its impact on residents along the route and whether it will require closing a local or state road are expected to be part of any application developed. Glen Arbor Township is required to apply on behalf of race organizers seeking to close any part of state roads. “Bonnie (Quick, clerk) has spent a lot of time on these this year,” Supervisor John Soderholm said. In addition, applicants will likely be asked about the number and location of portable bathroom facilities and parking arrangements for participants. Board members may also consider the events as a whole and where they may conflict with other events taking place. “We may want to consider a policy limiting them in number or encourage them to be spaced out,” Soderholm said. Consideration may also be given to a request for donation. “Some of these groups are approaching six figures,” Gretzema said. “I believe for the amount of work involved we should expect something in return for the community good.” The subcommittee is expected to include three to five people and include members of the Township Board and Chamber of Commerce. — by Amy Hubbell

VIEWS

our opinion

Despite missteps, board got ‘Amend’ vote right Cops at a County Board meeting? Yep. Were they needed? Probably not. But the presence of Sheriff’s deputies earlier this month at a morning session of the County Board of Commissioners did have its intended outcome in settling down an audience that, in terms of acceptable behavior for Leelanau County, had gone beyond its bounds. But there was enough poor behavior to go around. After being placed on the board’s agenda as the first “action item,” members of the politically active group Leelanau Independent Women for democratic Action did its part in getting out the troops. The board meeting room was nearly full — a pleasant deviation from the usual small crowd that knows itself by first names. Commissioner Richard Schmuckal, however, suggested that their request for time to speak and expectations of a board vote on a proposed amendment to the Constitution — the U.S. Constitution, that is, as these ladies aim big — was not befitting the board’s attention. In one respect, he had a valid point as concentrating on national issues can detract from attention to county business. He also had extremely poor timing. That question should have been addressed in policy long before LIWdA had filled the room with members and supporters for an item on the agenda. His effort to suppress their presentation was supported by commissioner Melinda Lautner. Thankfully, other commissioners understood the folly in cutting off discussion after the room was packed. Shame on Mr. Schmuckal and Mrs. Lautner. Some members of the audience dissented inappropriately at Mr. Schmuckal’s effort. They catcalled, interrupted commissioners, and, yes, unfortunately let out one or two swear words directed at the front table. Their actions were unneeded, and as those tactics usually do, served only to detract from the impending policy discussion. Although the disruptions did not come directly from LIWdA members, their leaders supported what they termed public dissent. We were disappointed. Eventually the crux of the issue came up. The board voted against supporting the “Move to Amend” wording before it, and for good reason. We found a strong disconnection between what LIWdA members said they wanted to accomplish, and the proposed resolution they brought before the board. While the women said they wanted to remove the role of money in determining the outcome of elections, the resolution dealt specifically with the rights of corporations — all corportions, big and small, and whether or not those corporations involve themselves in political activities. That would leave unions, which are considered associations, free to act as they will — and to buy as many commercials as they could afford. Their plan to strip all “Constitutional” rights from corporations has all the tools necessary to put the federal government in complete control of every business activity in the United States. Imagine a place where the FBI could raid a business — ours included, as the Leelanau Enterprise is a corporation owned by one couple — without the benefit of a search warrant? Or where the Internal Revenue Service could remove corporate assets based on the general good of the “people.” The amend movement plans to amputate the free market system while stating publicly that it only wishes minor surgery to remove free speech rights provided by a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling. It’s a radical concept that should give weak knees to anyone who believes government’s role should stop at regulating business. We’re glad the County Board got it right, following some missteps by both sides along the way.

Another year, another plea We’ll make this short and sour. We didn’t feel appropriate editorializing on the subject last week in our Memorial Day edition. For the third straight year, we are expressing disappointment that nothing has been done to correct or at least acknowledge mistakes in the granite plaque that contains the names of veterans of Leelanau County who died defending their country. The plaque was the centerpiece of the county Memorial Day ceremony Monday. Commissioners have discussed at least one solution that, apparently, has once again been forgotten. Lest we forget.

Park Service should look at alternate trail To the Editor: As a homeowner on Little Traverse Lake Road for the past 36 years, we would appreciate the National Park Service to consider an alternate route for the Heritage Trail. If this trail is truly to provide a breather from busy trafﬁc carried by the M-22 State Highway then please consider relocating the trail along Lake Michigan where visitors can enjoy what was voted as America’s Most Beautiful View. We agree the National Park was established for the good of the people to enjoy the sound of water, wind in the trees, bird song and views of our lovely Lake Michigan, Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes, Whaleback, North and South Manitou Island and Pyramid Point. If the Heritage Trail were located 100 feet off of Little Traverse Lake Road those thinking they are seeing the most beautiful place in America are viewing homes and driveways and hearing lawn mowers and daily family activity. This would be misrepresenting the purpose of the Heritage Trail. Our family wishes for others to share in the Most Beautiful View in America, which we would agree, would be along the shoreline of Lake Michigan.

“Sunshine” cop tickets township, holds hope for tribe

As a guy who wore a uniform and carried a gun for a quarter of a century before coming to work for this newspaper nearly 14 years ago, I may have a slightly different perspective on law enforcement than some other folks. No, I’ve never really been a cop. I served in the Marines for 25 years as a combat correspondent and a public affairs officer, and am a veteran of the Vietnam War, the Persian Gulf War and the civil war in Somalia. Today, in addition to being a local newspaper reporter, I fancy myself to be your friendly, neighborhood Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and Open Meetings Act (OMA) policeman. I am proud that the publisher of this newspaper took the initiative recently to host a seminar on those two “sunshine” laws for local officials, political candidates, and anyone else who cared to attend. I am also proud that the Leelanau Enterprise filed suit against the Leelanau County Board of Commissioners a few years back — when the County Board was one of my regular “beats” — to stop the board from breaking those laws as it had on several occasions. Just last week I found it necessary to don my imaginary policeman’s hat once more. It happened at a special meeting of a certain township board that, for the purposes of this column, shall remain nameless. They know who they are. The upshot was that the board had decided to go into a closed session for a perfectly legitimate reason under the OMA, but had failed to take a two-thirds roll call vote to do so as required by the law. Despite their request that I leave the meeting, I politely declined until they took a proper roll call vote in an open session. I guess you could say I issued the board a warning ticket at that meeting. It’s easy to enforce the law with local units of government in Leelanau County such as the townships, the villages, and the county itself. It’s not so

easy to enforce laws with another local of government A column unit based in Leelanau by County — the Grand Traverse Band of Eric Ottawa and Carlson Chippewa Indians. The tribe is, after all, a sovereign nation not subject to Michigan’s OMA and FOIA. However, to the extent that the tribe accepts and expends federal dollars — and the GTB is partially funded by the feds — the tribe is subject to the U.S. Freedom of Information Act. I’ve never really tried very hard to enforce that law with the tribe despite the fact that over the past 14 years I’ve been stonewalled numerous times by tribal officials. Throughout my career as a Marine I repeatedly swore a solemn oath “to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic …” The tribe, of course, owes its continued existence to the U.S. Constitution and the body of law flowing from the Constitution’s guarantee that historic treaties with American Indian tribes must be honored. As a retired Marine officer who is still on the military payroll and whose commission remains in force, I can guarantee you that I will continue living up to my oath to support and defend the U.S. Constitution and the many laws which flow from it including the FOIA and treaties with sovereign nations. As a warrior, I am pleased to note that the newly-elected Tribal Chairman, Alvin Pedwaydon, is also a veteran of the U.S. military and currently serves as commander of the Eagletown American Legion post. Indeed, he and I are bound by the same oath. With regard to the U.S. Freedom of Information Act, I am especially hopeful that Chairman Pedwaydon will see to it that the government of the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians lives up to both the letter and the spirit of the law.

Correction: Mikki Pino and Fred Harris may both be veterans, members of the American Legion Eagletown post and members of the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, but they are not “half” siblings as described in an article last week. Instead, they are siblings. Their half brother is Arthur (Junior) Baldwin, who served in the U.S. Army. We apologize for the error.

Charter school celebration was one-sided gig at CMU

invited although they should have been. The invitees were true-believers who spent the full hour head-nodding to themselves as the panel waxed on about how great charters are. It may have been the first certified love-in on campus since the 1960’s. Pray tell, what would have been sacrificed had the university followed its mission statement of providing an open forum for the pros and cons on this issue? “This was a celebration,” notes Ms. Shields who wondered why they couldn’t take just one day to promote the benefits of charters? But last time anybody checked, promoting only one side of an issue runs counter to why we have universities in the first place. That’s why all sorts of out-of-themain-stream-of-thinking folks are routinely welcomed to the college campus. Obviously CMU has a vested interest in the charter movement as it rakes in a nifty $6 million a year for doing the ground work to accredit charter schools. So why would they want anybody coming in to suggest the state tax dollar investment might be a waste of money? University lobbyist Kathy Wilbur concedes this event was never seen as a “colloquy” on charters. But she points to other venues where the university has permitted an open debate on the subject. And regarding the notion that CMU is an advocate for charters, she notes the university, in its oversight role, has shut down charters that were not getting the job done. “An advocate would look the other way,” she asserts. Fair enough. At the end of the day, it was a dedication which by its nature is void of any controversy but then it should have been held in a charter school and not on a university campus where the free exchange of ideas, at least on this one day, was shoved under the rug.

The Suttons Bay-Leelanau Rotary was able to raise $1,600 at their Stone Soup Supper beneﬁt for the Leelanau Christian Neighbors. This couldn’t have been accomplished without the efforts of many. Thanks to Stone House Bread which provided 30 loaves of delicious bread and many gallons of soup. A big thanks also goes to Suttons Bay School staff (Mary Dingrando). We couldn’t have pulled it off without her. Honor Society students from Suttons Bay also pitched in to help. When we all come together great things can happen. Our Supper is proof of that!

Waving a red flag on inspection department To the Editor: Is the building inspection department in Leelanau County once again broken? I don’t know. But there seems to be enough red ﬂags to warrant a serious investigation. There are few good paying jobs in Leelanau County, but if you’re a skilled contractor you can make a decent enough living to raise a family, keep a roof over your head, and if you’re good, perhaps even hire a few other people. So when a highly respected building contractor such as Richard Parker, who has been successfully building in Leelanau County for 25 years, says local government is crushing his ability to make a living — someone in authority ought sit up and pay attention. We’re in a different place now than we were a few years back. The present system of private-contracted inspectors, whose pay is directly dependent on the number of inspections performed, looks like a recipe for abuse — and some are alleging that the abuse is already occurring through frivolous, nitpicking enforcement, resulting in repeated inspector visits and additional signiﬁcant charges to the contractor and homeowner. County residents are entitled to building code enforcement that makes us safe and secure in our homes and businesses, not one that harasses and forces our tradespeople to the brink of failure. Fair enforcement of an adopted legal code is a serious and fundamental responsibility of government. Privatizing the enforcement of the building code does not alter that responsibility. Thomas Shaver N. Island View Dr., Northport

statement is not in the best interest of Joni as well as other ofﬁcials who failed to review (vet) Joni Scott’s electable status. Somebody must be held accountable because this remains a major legal issue. Until then, Mrs. Scott cannot run for ofﬁce or be appointed until her status is legally determined! — Author is a retired school teacher, president of the teacher’s education association and a contractual negotiator Michigan Education Association in southwest Michigan.

Recent County Board meeting was just a folly To the Editor: The Leelanau County Commissioners are the Corporate Board of Directors of a Corporation called Leelanau County. Yes, it is not called that, but effectively that is what it is. It is a group of citizens elected by the resident citizens of Leelanau County to represent the citizens in conducting affairs and business of the county, exercising all powers and duties vested in boards of county commissioners under the laws of the state of Michigan. Creating a resolution supporting the Moving to Amend or a Constitutional Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America is not county business, or a legal function of the Leelanau County Commissioners. To believe and act otherwise, in my opinion, is absolute folly and a total waste of taxpayer money. Then there is the matter of wasting taxpayer money by bringing in the police. Are these men not being paid, whether they are in their cruisers or in the ofﬁce? Calling in deputies to quell a potential disruption of a county business meeting (which is not a public political gathering) held to conduct county business is the only protection the Commissioners have against potential disruption of their duties by a group which basically is calling for dissolution of the right of the people to elect a corporation to represent them in conducting county business. While I am at it: George, you and I have the same favorite pie, but hating Republicans is not what I call being tolerant and caring. Charles Day Wild Haven, Lambertville

The people must uphold their constitutional obligations; simply, the right to elect public officials. Trustee Phil Mikesell continues to sell his reasons to the public as to why the clerk’s position should be appointed. However, there are many excellent reasons why the clerk’s position “must remain” elected. 1. To avoid “conflicts of interest.” That is already apparent in the case of the current chairperson of the Planning Commission. Nothing has been done by the council to resolve this as well as the Joni Scott issue. Conflicts like this have already destroyed the integrity of two council trustees, the democratic process, and Northport’s image. 2. Like every citizen who is accountable to society and themselves, so must the Northport clerk’s position remain accountable to the people and not “cronyism” apparent in today’s government. Appointed positions make it very difficult to remain impartial. 3. An electable clerk will make every effort to perform in order to be elected/re-elected to the current high paying position. 4. Performance evaluations are both by and for the people. It is the responsibility of the trustees to disclose evaluation for public review and let the people decide. 5. An elected clerk must remain objective and not be pressured by Council Trustees to see things their way — especially when the issue comes from Trustees Mikesell and Vonvoigtlander. This is another attempt by both to chip away at citizen voting rights. 6. A clerk’s “residency requirement” intent is meant for a resident elected clerk to experience the evaluation pulse of the people. One only has to remember Betty Mork — a highly respected Northport resident elected clerk for 31 years. Mrs. Mork received a “Distinguished Citizen” award in 1998. The people spoke for 31 years using the power to speak by way of the vote — Nothing has changed! 7. The adage: “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Let the people decide. 8. The best reason to remain an elected position — every person running for office must be “vetted!” Apparently that did not happen in the Joni Scott case. Both trustees have already eroded the ability of the people to speak and express their disdain for council decisions and procedures. The current resident elected clerk position, just like Mrs. Mork was for 31 years, is legally responsible to the people. Mrs. Mork not only dedicated her responsibilities “to the people,” but more importantly recognized the power of the people to

conﬁrm her dedication by way of the vote. Mrs. Mork is a role model for all future “resident elected clerks” to embrace. Mrs. Scott must prove as Mrs. Mork did “in the court of public opinion,” as to why she is considered “not holding” the position illegally. We all need to understand why the Benzie Assistant Prosecutor states she personally believes Joni Scott is (was) “not a resident of the Village ... and that she hold the ofﬁce improperly.” That powerful

Nobody can blame Central Michigan University for its celebration the other day of charter schools. The CMU folks rolled out the red-carpet for the “Daddy” of the charter movement in this state. By all accounts it was a great day for former Gov. John Engler who soaked in the adulation poured upon him at the dedication of the John Engler Center for Charter Schools. CMU has a rich history of being the ﬁrst university in the nation to jump on the charter bandwagon and years later it has fostered 56 schools with thousands of students. So you can’t fault the university for wanting to rejoice, but it was a missed opportunity for the university to pursue the very reason for its existence: An honest academic debate over the merits of the charter movement. The university campus is supposed to be the cradle of knowledge where the free and open exchange of ideas is rooted in the philosophy that students should be exposed to all sides of an issue. It’s what they call learning. The CMU gig was as one-sided as it gets with not even a head-fake in the direction of any academic discourse. The center piece of the dedication ceremony was the roundtable “discussion” featuring six persons. If you were a student just walking in off the street, you would have walked out believing there were no critics of the system. That’s because none of them were on the panel. Instead it was stacked with the likes of Dr. James Goenner who CEO’s the National Charter Schools Institute and Mary Kay Shields who is the deputy director of the new charter center on the campus. To be fair, there was one Democrat on the panel, but you could hardly count Doug Ross as a critic of the charter movement. After all he runs the charter operation for the Detroit Public Schools. Now the good news is, this event was not designed as an academic exercise for CMU students. They weren’t

To the Edtior: The ďŹ rst section of the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail construction is done, and a month ahead of schedule. Hooray! Now, people pushing strollers, or with bikes towing kids in trailers, or the physically challenged using arm-powered bikes, can explore the park and museums without taking chances with the trafďŹ c on M-109 or M-22. As a volunteer at the Glen Haven Museums, I see people utilizing the trail each day; over Memorial Weekend, by the hundreds. But wait! The trail is not â&#x20AC;&#x153;open.â&#x20AC;? Big barricades anchored by heavy sandbags block the way at all road crossings. People careen around the barriers, losing control in the soft sand off to the side, creating marks which will channel erosion later; they barely slow down and cross M-109 without looking. The trail is not to be used because signs are not yet in place, we are told. But there are signs in place on M-109; covered over, so drivers do not know a trail crossing is coming up. The construction crews did a great job: I hope the state, the park and the SBHT group can accelerate their efforts to ďŹ nish the details long before the dedication date of June 20. Otherwise the trail has the possibility of creating some of the very hazards it was designed to abate. Barbara Klein Porter Drive, Clinton Twp.

Whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bamboozling who? To the Editor: In 2009 President Obama ended Social Securityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cost of living adjustments for retirees and stopped deducting SSI taxes/ contributions from paychecks. When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not paying into SSI that money wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be in your SSI check when you retire. President Clinton, with endearing benevolence, signed into law that your SSI checks are taxed. Benevolent Clintonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;double taxation!â&#x20AC;? Surprise, all the above is â&#x20AC;&#x153;cuttingâ&#x20AC;? SSI retirement income. Thank the Democrats! Children of illegalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s receive tax refunds (honor system, report and receive $1,000 each) even if their parents never paid taxes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lawfullyâ&#x20AC;? only children with SS numbers qualify. Is this that â&#x20AC;&#x153;level playing ďŹ eld â&#x20AC;? Obama/ Democrats peddle and the lawlessness we the lawabiding must swallow? Obamacare will automatically extract payments or inďŹ&#x201A;ict ďŹ nes for Obamacareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mandated enrollment but illegalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will freely access Obamacare without any payments/ ďŹ nes. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conďŹ scating your share for Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compassionate sharing! Obama/ Democrats also cut and will continue cutting Medicare beneďŹ ts to fund Obamacareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hand-outs. Federal, state and local governments tax/ take your money to give low income individuals $20,610 yearly tax free with cost of living increases. Even illegalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s with children receive welfare. Taxpayers sharing â&#x20AC;&#x153;their earned incomes!â&#x20AC;? The federal government has 126 separate/overlapping programs for funding the poor. 33 are housing, 21 food aid and eight healthcare programs. Americans were billed or bilked $228 billion last year for 49 million Medicaid users and $72 billion for 41 million on food stamps. Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spending ... soared 41 percent. Needy, greedy or both? In 1964 Democrats â&#x20AC;&#x153;war on povertyâ&#x20AC;? began. 48 years later povertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alive, well, growing, nurtured and prospering. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re even importing recipients. Those who need, justiďŹ ed or otherwise, get butâ&#x20AC;Ś self-reliant success is greedy, deserving endless takings to â&#x20AC;&#x153;level the playing ďŹ eld!â&#x20AC;?

Natural Beauty Road statute misinterpreted To the Editor: I take great exception with your â&#x20AC;&#x153;Opinionâ&#x20AC;? column two weeks ago in the Leelanau Enterprise. Obviously you do not understand the Michigan Natural Beauty Road Statute. All you need to do is look at other existing Beauty Roads in the state of Michigan. Even our own Gills Pier Road in Leelanau County is the mirror image of Traverse Lake Road. No one is â&#x20AC;&#x153;seeking to prevent an expansion of park usage,â&#x20AC;? as you claim. The fact remains that there are much better options for the Heritage Trail to get around Little Traverse Lake. These options are millions of dollars cheaper, far more beautiful, will not impact critical dunes, wetlands, or current hunting locations. These options have never been considered simply because the National Park Service refuses to do so. Neil Hanna Fairway Drive, Cedar

Licensed & Insured

To the Editor: We have seen in recent weeks the increasingly strident emergence of the radical left here in our own Leelanau County. They identify themselves with different organizations (Leelanau Independent women, Occupy, Move to Amend, etc.), but, thanks to the Enterprise, we see that they are the same people, pushing the same agenda. Have you noticed what initially so enraged them: the suggestion that our Constitutional form of government was devised by men who believe in God, were Christians, and conďŹ rmed in the Constitution rights that came from God (not from men, and not from government), the ďŹ rst of which was the exercise of religion. A composite of their furious reaction has contended: that churches should teach what the majority of modern people want (â&#x20AC;&#x153;democratic theology â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and only the living get to vote); overpopulation is the problem, and remedies (sterilization, abortion, contraceptions, euthanasia, etc) are â&#x20AC;&#x153;health careâ&#x20AC;?; sex is recreation, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also â&#x20AC;&#x153;health care,â&#x20AC;? which you and I should pay for so that they can have more (?) of it. Most recently the same people also want to limit freedom of speech (witness the unruly behavior at the county commission meeting, requiring police intervention). Civil disobedience with these people is impossible. They eagerly dissociate themselves from every standard of belief and behavior that has made us a great country: God, freedom, patriotism, family, truth. Their wild rhetoric ridicules the traditional values that we have always assumed we shared. We thank the Enterprise for giving us the opportunity to know who these people are. Watch them closely. There are very few of them, and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reproduce themselves, so we know how it ends. Keep the faith. Lawrence E. Bunchek P. O. Box 324, Leland

information. While in office Roush said she sold bonds the county had issued for construction of the law enforcement center, and issued new bonds at a lower interest rate, saving taxpayers more than $950,000. She added software that enables taxpayers to pay their taxes online by credit card and to get live tax information online, meaning that updated data is instantly available. And she started issuing three-year dog licenses that coincide with rabies shots, which are also good for three years. Dog licenses were previously only good for one year. Gallagher said if elected he will be committed to addressing deficiencies, increasing transparencies, and providing accurate and timely reporting of all financial activities. He will also work to increase accountability and control in the treasurer’s office, as well as confidence in the county’s investing strategies. “I believe that we live in one of the best counties in the world,” Gallagher said. “In that regard, I believe our county deserves the best. I am highly committed to excellence, driven to be successful, and conservative as an individual. It is my belief that ... a person’s word is a person’s bond and I will honestly and wholeheartedly do what it takes to be as effective and efficient in my responsibilities as Treasurer of Leelanau County.” Roush is married to Jerry Rouch. The couple has a grown son, a daughter-in-law and two grandsons. She calls her investment strategy “conservative,” saying she follows the law, as well as the county investment policy, when it comes to the taxpayers’ money. “I am conscientious, honest and effective,” Roush said. “In spite of an unstable market I have not lost any of the taxpayers’ money.” Gallagher is married to Rose M. (Hahnenberg) Gallagher; the couple has three children. Gallagher said he and his wife — and their families — have been rooted in Leelanau County for many generations. “I will be a strong presence to represent the taxpayer,” he said. “I find no greater opportunity than to use the experience and knowledge I have attained to give back to the community that has been there for our families throughout the years.”

Lake Leelanau resident John A. Gallagher has filed to run against incumbent treasurer Chelly M. Roush, who has held the position since 2008. Both are Republicans; no Democrats have filed for the post. “I think I have a lot to offer the county,” Gallagher said. “I’d like to build confidence back in the government center. I think right now there is some unrest.” A graduate of St. Mary School in Lake Leelanau, Gallagher earned a bachelor’s degree in accounting from Ferris State University. Over the past 10 years he has worked in management and accounting services. Roush said she’d like to continue the work she’s been doing in her first fouryear term as county Treasurer. “I’d like to continue saving the taxpayer money, providing better services and building better relationships with the townships,” Roush said. Her No. 1 priority, she said, is abiding by the best interest of the taxpayers. “I think C h a l l e n g e r I’ve proven in my G a l l a g h e r , that last three i n c u m b e n t and a half years,” Roush pledge Roush said. defeatto be ‘effective’ She ed longtime county treasurer Vicki Kilway in the 2008 Primary election.

TRAFFIC HAS BEEN a little backed up on the Narrows Bridge on M-204 in Lake Leelanau as the bridge has been getting some routine maintenance done. According to Bob Felt, a spokesman from the Michigan Department of Transportation communications office, workers are giving the bridge spans a thin epoxy coating, which can extend the life of the bridge deck by as much as 20 years. The statewide initiative is meant to keep the bridges in as good of shape as possible, Felt said. Work was expected to be complete by Wednesday evening. more than $313,000, it is the most expensive of the four projects. Lee Bowen, commission chair, said that if they wait a year the road will deteriorate more — and be more expensive to repair. Prep work has already started on Good Harbor Trail, CR 651, which will get resurfacing and shoulder work from CR 643 near Cedar north to Gatzke Road. The Michigan Department of Transportation project, which is federally funded, will be bid out in early July, Nedow said. Another $2.2 million federally-funded project will upgrade several signs on M-22, M-109, M-201, M-204 and

Firefighters, parking rules enforcers, or both? Efforts to improve safety for motorist and pedestrians in Glen Arbor Township have eliminated seven parking spaces in the township’s commercial district. Also, township firefighters may be asked to help enforce parking laws. The Township Board has taken action to identify areas no longer available for parking, and adopted ordinances allowing for enforcement of the parking ban by deputized members of the fire department staff. Parking spots eliminated include two at the northeast corner of M-22 and Manitou Boulevard where a fourth stop sign has been added requiring everyone who goes through the intersection to stop first. Two more parking spots on Lake Street on the north side of M-22 have also been eliminated. “There was a safety issue for people coming onto M-22 … a visibility issue

with cars parking right up to the intersection,” township Treasurer Terry Gretzema said. “By closing that off, we’re hoping to prevent an accident.” Also gone are two parking spots on Pine Street on the south side of M-22 and one more on N. Oak Street. Volunteer or active off-duty firefighters will be deputized by the county Sheriff’s Department and given the authority to issue tickets to parking violators. Four thousand dollars has been identified for enforcement purposes, Gretzema said. Warning tickets will be issued up through July 1, after which offenders will face a fine of $50 for one ticket; $100 on a second offense and $150 for a third ticket. Gretzema reminded residents and visitors there are 35 parking spots in a wooded area behind the township hall that often go unused.

M-37. That job is planned to start in September and be complete by May 2013. Nedow said Leelanau County wasn’t able to get federal aid for several years due to projects that were funded in 2008. Those projects, including CR 663, 669 and 616, were a part of Michigan’s Jobs Today Jobs Tomorrow program and were funded as part of the Economic Stimulus Act, Nedow said. Here is a list of county jobs and the low bid amounts: • Scott Road: From Peterson Park Road to just east of Christmas Cove Road, Northport Township, about 1.2 miles, $168,750; • Omena Point Road: Northport Township, about 2.7 miles, $313,995; • Leland streets: River Street from M-22 to the Leland Harbor and Lake Street from River Street to Pearl Street, Leland, about 500 and 350 feet respectively, $33,244; • Lime Lake Road: From M-22 to just south of Mountain Road, Cleveland Township, about 1.6 miles, $165,764.

It’s orange-cone season again, and several county roads as well as a section of M-22, will be getting some much needed work. A 1.7-mile section of M-22 that runs from M-204 to Reynolds Street in Leland will be milled and resurfaced, said Bob Felt, M-DOT communications office. That work will begin July 23 and take about seven work days, Felt said. The maintenance project, funded with a mix of state and federal dollars, will cost $280,000. The Leelanau County Road Commission is considering bids for four milling and resurfacing jobs that will be done over the summer. In addition, another federally-funded road projects will get done this year, and $2.2 million sign upgrade project slated to start in September. Though low bids for all four locallyfunded projects were submitted by Elmer’s Construction of Grawn, the jobs will not be awarded until the county has agreements in hand from the four townships where the roads are located. Townships typically pay about 50 percent of the total cost of the job, which also includes prep work done by the road commission. Rieth-Riley Construction Co. of Traverse City also submitted bids. One project slated for this year calls for the resurfacing of a 2.7-mile stretch of Omena Point Road in Leelanau Township. The road has deteriorated much faster than anticipated and needs to be done this year, said Joe Nedow, Leelanau County’s finance manager. But Leelanau Township has already earmarked its road improvement matching funds to resurfacing a 1.2mile section of Scott Road and doesn’t have enough money in the coffers for both projects. The Road Commission and township have a verbal agreement that the county will pay for the entire job and defer the township’s half to be paid over the next two years, Nedow said. A formal agreement will need approval by the Road Commission. Commission vice chair John Popa said he would rather wait until next year to do the Omena Point Road project, as the Road Commission will have to pick up the entire tab for the job. At

S-B boys soccer coach resigns By Mike Spencer Of The Enterprise staff

Winning a fifth consecutive boys soccer district championship in double overtime is hard to beat. Randy U’Ren isn’t going to try. The Suttons Bay head soccer coach has resigned after six seasons including a 16-3-2 finale last fall. The 35-year-old optometrist said he’s stepping down to spend more time with his two youngsters — Danielle, 7, and Megan, 4 — and his wife, Sarah. “It was an extremely hard decision,” U’Ren said. “But with that said, I know it’s right and I have no regrets. “I’ve got priorities and coaching was just taking too much time from my family and work. I had to miss too many things.” One thing he’ll miss now is the players. “By far, I’ll miss just being with the boys,” he said. “I loved it ... from being a part of the practices to watching them play.” Last year’s 3-2 double-overtime win in the district championship game over Traverse City Christian is sure to leave a lasting impression. “It certainly was the most surprising district title team,” U’Ren said. “I knew we had a chance to win it, but a lot of things had to fall into place.” U’Ren, a former Lansing Waverly and Alma College soccer player, enjoyed his first and only varsity coaching stint. “In looking back, it did go by really fast ... too fast,” U’Ren said. “Some of the seasons are just blurred together. “I guess we were having so much fun.” The 2006 season — his first — was the most difficult. “I loved every team, including the first one,” he said. “It was just a learning curve. “I was their third coach in three years. It was challenging to set into motion my philosophy and how I wanted things to be done. It was probably (Concluded on Page 13)

Long shot kick starts Lakers in districts By Mike Spencer Of The Enterprise staff

It was a long shot that Casey McDonough took that broke a scoreless tie in Glen Lake’s Division 4 girls district showdown with rival Leland. But the gamble was all the host Lakers needed to get untracked Tuesday. McDonough’s goal, from 40-plus yards out about halfway between the midfield and 18-yard circle, was a perfect chip shot. The wind-aided strike, in the 14th minute of play, just went over the outstretched hands of Leland keep-

Nick Kiessel is living in fast times. The Suttons Bay senior, the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only individual regional champ, has one more chance to go even faster. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be competing Saturday in the 400 meter race at the Michigan High School Athletic Association Division 3 Track & Field at Comstock Park High School. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a great season,â&#x20AC;? said Kiessel, who is making plans to run next year at Alma College. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to know that you work hard day after day and then when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a senior Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m running the best times of my life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really cool to see the improvement.â&#x20AC;? Kiessel, who recalls running the 400 in 58 seconds as a freshman, won the regional with a 51.24 clocking. Now he has his sights on medaling at the ďŹ nals. Medalists are given to the top eight performers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting,â&#x20AC;? said Kiessel, who is ranked as the 15th-best in his specialty. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think I can place really well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Running with higher seeds should push me to go faster.â&#x20AC;? Kiessel will be running in Lane No. 2. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it goes perfect and there are no scratches, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be on the inside and you can judge where the others are on the outside,â&#x20AC;? Kiessel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can tell if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m behind.â&#x20AC;? The difference between the No. 8 seed and No. 15 is a half a second. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With so much adrenalin going, I should run faster,â&#x20AC;? Kiessel said. Coach Mark Smith agrees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nick has an incredible amount of talent, great speed and beautiful form,â&#x20AC;?

In field events, Lydia Patterson had a personal record in the discus for fourth place (91’7”) followed by Katie Tigges (88’2”) and Sarah Hartwig (87’6’), who were fifth and sixth, respectively. Tigges added a sixth place finish in the shot with a personal best of 27’1.5”. Wessels added another point for the Norse with a long jump of 13’6.75” finishing sixth. Benzie won six of the individual events and all four relays in the seventeam event. “If they didn’t win the event, they placed two or three other girls in the top six,” Laker coach Paul Christiansen said. “They will be one of the favor-

Madison Freeman had a great day with a PR in the 400 to finish fourth (65.46). Rachel Amalfitano was fifth with a time of 66.48, also a personal best. Freeman and Amalfitano joined Ashley Grant and Rachel Pasche to knock eight seconds off the best season time in the 1600 relay with a time of 4:29.42 — good enough for fourth. Also finishing fourth were the 400 relay team of Wessels, Gaudard, Guillen and Angela Hernandez (55.64) and the 800 team of Guillen, Hernandez, Freeman and Amaliftano (1:57.7). Both were season-best times, Smith said. The 3200 meter team of Grant, Patterson, Pasche and Tessa Pattison

Kaitlin and Kelsey Grigg made up half of the 3200 and 1600 relay teams which finished second and third respectively. Stowe and VanderWerf joined them in the 3200 to post a time of 10:53.27, a season best. Friend and Stowe rounded out the 1600 team which also posted a season-best time of 4:24.15.

Several Lakers place at Honor Roll meet Glen Lake’s track teams had several participants in the Honor Roll meet in Traverse City on Tuesday. The girls 3200 relay team took fifth with a time of 10:53.49. Contributing members were Lindsey Friend, Kaitlin Grigg, Kelsey Grigg and Maria VanderWerf.

Kenyon Fatt was seventh in the 800 (2:08.79). Fatt was also a member of the eighth place 3200 team (9:37.04). Other members were Nick Butts, Charlie Velis and Kurt Kalis. There were no results available for Suttons Bay participants.

Individually for the Lakers, Katie Stowe was fifth in the 400 in 1:03.9 and Friend, sixth in the 800 in 2:31. The Glen Lake boys had a fourth in the 400 relay with a time of 45.59. Team members included Michael Aylsworth, Parker Kokowicz, Spencer Query and Carter Lee.

1600 relay and even in the 400-meter run.” Kiessel is expected to run with Ken Pease, Randy Winowiecki and Ian Callewaert in the 1600. “They were the most consistent people at our winter workouts and their hard work continued throughout the season,” Smith said of his champion relayers.

“Nick’s potential in the 800 made it tough to decide what event to go for at the regional championships,” Smith said. Now all Kiessel can think about is his last hurrah on Saturday. “I don’t know if we can win a relay, but I think we can medal,” he said. We went into the meet ranked 1 - 2 so his victory was no surprise in the 400. The fun thing was to see them walk away as regional champs in the 800 and 1600 relays.

“Their success individually and as a relay team comes as no surprise. “All winter long, we talked about getting to the state meet for the ﬁrst time.” Kiessel also had a chance to qualify in the 800-meter run, but opted not to run it at regionals because there was only a one race break. “It’s just too close to double back,” said Kiessel, who did it in the Northwest Conference Championship to help the Norse pick up points. “It was a tough call.”

of the district tournament.â&#x20AC;? Glen Lakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s district opening win helped erase the thought of losing the first one last season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels good,â&#x20AC;? McDonough said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re glad to be going on and hopefully weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll keep going and going.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;After what happened last year, this feels good,â&#x20AC;? Murphy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We deserved to win and move on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ultimately, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re deserving to win the districts.â&#x20AC;? The seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end was a bittersweet one for Burda and his 29 Comets, who were a .500 squad in their first season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Glen Lake has such a cohesive group of girls that have been playing together for quite awhile, and that is tough to compete with as a new team that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any time on a soccer field together,â&#x20AC;? Burda said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We cleaned up the second half and generated a few scoring chances, but we could not connect.â&#x20AC;? The Comets wrapped up regular season play Friday with a 6-1 victory over the Traverse City Central junior varsity. Whitney Schaub led the way with two goals. Hunt had 16 saves in net.

Reyhlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three goals lead Norse to win Autumn Reyhl scored three goals including two in the first half as Suttons Bayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girls soccer team went on to a 6-0 Division 4 district soccer win over host McBain Northern Michigan Christian. The Norse, now 11-8-4 overall, will play today at 6 p.m. vs. Traverse City Liberty at the Coast Guard Field. The two teams played to a scoreless tie in the regular season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a good game earlier in the season that ended in a tie, so this will no doubt be a close match,â&#x20AC;? Suttons Bay coach Casey Wilcox said.

Reylâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two goals to start the match were both unassisted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Autumn came down the right side of the field, cut in front of her defender and launched the ball just out of reach of the keeper,â&#x20AC;? Wilcox said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The second goal was a carbon copy of the first.â&#x20AC;? Charlotte Seeley scored the first of her two goals to make it 3-0 at the half. Brooke Mikowski scored the other goal for the Norse via a penalty kick. Suttons Bay finished regular season play with a 4-0 victory over Kalkaska on May 23.

Monni Raphael and Seth Zachman each had two goals, including unassisted markers. Miranda Schaub had the two assists. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Miranda gave a perfect diagonal thru ball leading Sethe into the box,â&#x20AC;? Wilcox said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She controlled the ball and placed it in the back of the net.â&#x20AC;? Raphaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goals, both chip shots, came outside the 18-yard box. The Norse out-shot the Blazers 23-0. Irene Prada was credited with the shutout in net.

S-B boys soccer coach resigns Continued from Page 10 our most talented team.â&#x20AC;? The 2009 squad also has a favorite place in Uâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Renâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it was the first one where he was able to follow the progress of freshmen to their senior year. They went 17-2-2 and reached the state semifinals for the second time in three years before bowing in overtime to eventual champ Hudsonville Freedom Baptist. The Norse won regionals at home and beat host Glen Lake in overtime to win districts 4-3. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone playing that year only had me as a coach,â&#x20AC;? he recalled. The 2010 team that went 15-5-4 also created a special memory, winning a regional match at home against McBain Northern Michigan Christian, 3-1. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just beat a much more talented team,â&#x20AC;? Uâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Ren recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It showed how important it is to be a team.â&#x20AC;? Uâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Renâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s philosophy was to play possession soccer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted everyone to receive a ball and play it to someone else,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just kicking it to a forward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard early in the season, but

with each season we got better and better.â&#x20AC;? Uâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Renâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teams were also marked by good defense. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We made sure we had a good defense,â&#x20AC;? Uâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Ren said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t count on out-scoring the good teams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had to have good defenders even if meant moving a couple of good players to the back.â&#x20AC;? Leland coach Joe Burda applaued Uâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Renâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Randy has done an incredible job at Suttons Bay,â&#x20AC;? said Burda, whose Comets played the Norse to four draws in the last two seasons but lost twice in the districts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has made a name for Suttons Bay and more importantly helped northern Michigan and Leelanau County earn some recognition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was a very respected coach within our circle of conference coaches, and he gets to go out on top after taking down Christian who were poised to be a powerhouse last season but lost to Suttons Bay in the district finals.â&#x20AC;? Uâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Ren fielded a jayvee team once during his tenure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It hurts when you have to play freshman and sophomores against the

bigger schools,â&#x20AC;? Uâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Ren said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But in a way, the freshmen and sophomores learned pretty darn quick.â&#x20AC;? Uâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Ren has had a number of playing go on to play collegiately like Shane MacDonald and Ben Darling at Kalamazoo College and Bobby Latorre at Alma. Mason Darling plans to play at Kalamazoo next season and Nick Kiessel is hoping to walk on at Alma. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I certainly want to thank everyone who has been involved in Suttons Bay soccer, from the school down to the parents who came to watch,â&#x20AC;? Uâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Ren said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All the parents throughout the years made my job easier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And all the players, too, for what they went through with me. I demanded a lot and pushed them hard. I have no regrets.â&#x20AC;? Uâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Ren, who recently became a member of the Suttons Bay Township Planning Commission, said he does not plan to abandon the soccer field. He plans to coach in the Leelanau County Youth Soccer program. The girls soccer job is also expected to be open as Casey Wilcox plans to study in Argentina next year.

2-0 with 13:54 to play in the first half with another unassisted marker, hooking a shot from just outside the left side of the 18-yard line to the top right shelf. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was just looking around to see if I had any open players to pass it to,â&#x20AC;? Tondreau admitted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see any so I just took it in and shot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At first, I thought it was going to go over the top. When it dropped in, it was like yeah!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sarahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal we was just as beautiful because she was able to see where the pressure was, take it up and carried the ball in and then put into the right hand corner,â&#x20AC;? Murphy noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It even curved a little bit.â&#x20AC;? Junior Elle Barrett completed the scoring with just over three minutes left in the half on an assist from Grace Hubbell. The chip shot was almost identical to Tondreauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, only it came from the right and went into the top left shelf. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ball was between me and another player and I called for it,â&#x20AC;? Barrett said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I shot it just like I practice it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was really fun celebrating that goal.â&#x20AC;? Hunt finished with 28 saves in net for Leland. A handful of other Laker shots hit the crossbar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a lot of opportunities, especially in the second half,â&#x20AC;? Murphy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But those first-half goals were three unstoppable goals.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Andrea played another great game,â&#x20AC;? Burda said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just think Glen Lakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agenda beat our game plan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Glen Lake is eyeing a deep tournament run and they just werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to let us get in the way.â&#x20AC;? The Cometsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; plan was to keep McDonough and senior striker Logan Popp in check. It was almost mission accomplished thanks to the defensive efforts of Isabelle Scott, Kalynn Wright and Jaden Prevost. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we were successful at that and they were rather ineffective, but Glen Lake had other players step up,â&#x20AC;? Burda added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would be surprised if Glen Lake doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t walk through the rest

ence title with one loss; Suttons Bay finished at 8-4. Glen Lake also closed out a busy week of baseball by dropping a doubleheader to St. Francis on Tuesday. Both games were tight, extending a string of closely contested matches between the schools. The Glads topped Glen Lake in an extra inning to claim the Division 3 district crown a year ago, and prevailed 3-2 earlier this season. The latest losses were 5-4 and 4-2. “They’ve gotten us three times on close ball games this year,” Laker coach Kris Herman said. “That’s the difference between their record and ours.” Glen Lake is 23-11; St. Francis 25-7. In the opener Tuesday, St. Francis used a fielder’s choice to send home the winning run in the sixth inning. Curtis Bunek and Trevor Apsey each singled twice. Dylan Wendel’s sacrifice bunt and Jordan Hill’s double drove in runs in the first and second innings of the nightcap, staking Glen Lake to a 2-0 lead it couldn’t hold. Apsey, whose

bat has been on fire in the last week, again swatted a pair of singles. Apsey has singled twice last Wednesday in the opener of a pair of wins over Elk Rapids. The Lakers won the first game, 10-6, as winning pitcher Thomas Waning hurled four strong innings of relief work — yielding one hit and one walk while striking out five. Michael Sawyer belted a pair of doubles and singled; Andrew Gutzka drive in four runs on a pair of singles. Glen Lake’s winning run in a 4-3 decision in the nightcap came on a wild pitch in the sixth inning. Bunek doubled and tripled, while winning pitcher Dylan Wendels helped himself with a two-run single. Waning provided 1 2/3 innings of relief. The Lakers secured a tie for third place in the Northwest last week with a 6-5, 7-3 sweep over Frankfort. Gutzka drove in the winning run in the opener with a one-out single in the sixth inning. Apsey pounded out a pair of doubles to drive in four runs, and waning singled twice for one RBI. Jordan hill picked up with win with 3 2/3 innings in a relief role.

Eight Glen Lake Glen Lake batters pounded out nine hits in the second game, which gave pitcher Austin Odziana plenty to work with. He allowed just four hits. Aspey singled, doubled and drove in a run. Glen Lake and Buckley both ﬁnished 7-5 in the Northwest.

Suttons Bay secured second place in the Northwest Conference baseball race by winning two of three league contests, and has won ﬁve of its last six outings. The latest victim was Forest Area on Tuesday in a non-conference matchup. The host Norsemen prevailed, 4-2 and 14-6. Randy Kelty allowed just two hits over three innings to claim the opening win; he was helped by Aaron Orban in relief. Martin Stowe drove in a run while going 2-for-3 and Logan Mikesell provided a run-scoring single. Zach Rice and Jesse Fox also drove in runs. Suttons Bay was the recipient of 14 walks in the second game, and pitcher Jake Kiessel scattered seven hits while only walking two. Mikesell went 3-for-5 and knocked in a run; Dylan Grant collected 2 RBI on a pair of singles. Last Thursday Mesick took the opener, 3-1, with Sam Kelty’s single driving in the Norsemen’s only run. But they came back to take the second game, 7-4, as Randy Kelty struck out seven and allowed four hits in four innings of work. Kelty also had two singles, as did teammate Stowe, who also knocked in a run. Rice swatted a run-scoring double, and Casey Cross executed a suicide squeeze bunt. Suttons Bay started with a 3-0 lead after one inning in the makeup game, and added a run in the third for a 4-3 decision. Winning pitcher Kiessel struck out seven and yielded four hits over what turned out to be two days of work. Randy Kelty doubled, singled and drove in a run; Mikesell went 2-for-3 with an RBI; and Sam Kelty went 2-for-3. The teams played a non-conference second game, with freshman pitcher Zach Rice collecting his ﬁrst win for Suttons Bay, 8-2. He hurled a threehitter, and walked just one batter. Orban singled, doubled and drove in a run; Kiessel went 2-for-2; and Jason Winowiecki and Cross each singled in runs. Benzie Central captured the confer-

a double header from Traverse City Christian and beaten St. Mary three times. Christian, with ace Ian Newberry on the mount, has split with Glen Lake. St. Mary has yet to beat any of its possible three opponents in the District — but has played each squad tightly, and recently notched a surprise win over St. Francis. “All three of the other teams, we have played at times,” said Eagles coach Steve Plamondon, whose squad is 6-25-1. “It will take a good game to beat any of them. But we’re OK with being the underdog.” Plamondon expects some good games on Saturday. “There might be a slight advantage given to Glen Lake being on their home ﬁeld, and a slight advantage to Suttons Bay because of their conference record. (Christian’s) Ian Newberry is a very good pitcher — he’s capable of keeping them in any game. He keeps the ball down and changes pitches. It’s probably about as even as it gets,” he said.

Suttons Bay coach Doug Periard said moving down a division has its advantages, and challenges. His squad has won ﬁve of its last six games, and will carry the best record at 21-6 into the district tourney. “Our program is smaller now. It’s nice no longer being the smallest team in Division III. But that doesn’t win a district. You’ve got to go out and win games,” he said. But are the Norsemen the favorites? “Everybody has potential. St. Mary beat St. Francis last week, so anything can happen,” Periard added. The redrawn Division IV District baseball tournament will begin Saturday with Lake Leelanau St. Mary taking on Suttons Bay at 9 a.m. The Norsemen played in a Division 3 district last season. Glen Lake will take on Traverse City Christian in the second game, with the winner advancing to play in the ﬁnal — probably around 1 p.m.

St. Mary drops four to conclude regular season The St. Mary baseball team ﬁnished the regular season on losing notes, dropping two with Traverse City Christian and another pair at Bellaire. The Eagles lost to Traverse City Christian on Friday, 6-1 and 7-2. John VanRaalte pitched a complete game in the ﬁrst loss, recording two strikeouts and allowing seven hits. VanRaalte also had two doubles, driving in the Eagles’ only run in the sixth inning. In the nightcap, Jack Garthe went the distance on the mound, throwing a seven-hitter and striking out two. Leif Mohrman had two hits, including an RBI double. Collin Platt also

doubled in the game. The Eagles also lost to Bellaire 7-6 and 3-1. Lee Wichern completed the first game on the mound, retiring five Bellaire batters. The Eagles did a nice job putting the ball in play, connecting for 10 hits in the game. They were strong through the fifth inning, scoring four runs on three consecutive singles, following a couple walks. Bellaire, however, scored twice in the bottom of the sixth to seal the win.

three more singles and an RBI for St. Mary. In the nightcap, Garthe pitched a complete game, allowing six hits and striking out four in the 3-1 loss. The Eagles found themselves in scoring position late, ﬁlling the bases on walks. St. Mary couldn’t push a run across though, and Bellaire ended the game with three consecutive strikeouts. VanRaalte and Collin Platts recorded multiple hits in the game with two singles each. The Eagles will be in action again when they take on Suttons Bay in the ﬁrst game of districts at Glen Lake on Saturday. The game is scheduled for 10 a.m.

A new champion will be crowned in the Division 4 district baseball tournament, set to begin Saturday at 9 a.m. That’s about it for predictions from coaches of teams that will vie to take the title from Traverse City St. Francis. The Gladiators have moved up to Division 3, leaving four teams to slug it out for the title. Three of those teams are from Leelanau County, including host Glen Lake. “It’s going to be a tough District,” said Laker coach Kris Herman, whose team lost in seven innings in last year’s finals to St. Francis. “All the teams are tough mentally. If you have Suttons Bay down, they just won’t go away.” Glen Lake’s five-game winning streak was broken in a doubleheader loss to St. Francis on Tuesday. Still, the Lakers will take a 23-11 record into the districts. The Norsemen, who finished second in the Northwest Conference to Benzie Central, have beaten Glen Lake in two out of three contests this season, swept

Norse pick up two big wins

JANE HURSEY of Suttons Bay makes strides toward plate against Frankfort earlier this month. The Norse will count heavily on Hursey’s pitching in district play Saturday at Glen Lake.

The Suttons Bay girls softball team finished the regular season on a couple of winning notes. The Norse swept visiting Forest Area 9-6 and 17-16 on Tuesday in preparation for the Division 4 district tournament at Glen Lake on Saturday. The Norse will play St. Mary in the second game of the district, about noon. “The girls finally put it together and got a win,” Suttons Bay head coach Lyle Zenner said after the Norse used just three hits to beat Forest Area in the opener. Jane Hursey tossed a four-hitter and struck out eight Warriors. She also helped her cause with two hits and 3 RBI. Hannah Steed added a three-run homer in the fifth inning. “It was big,” Zenner said Steed’s inside-the-park homer. In the nightcap, the Norse were out-hit 10-6. Hursey struck out 10 more Warriors. Marla Reynolds delivered the game-winner in the bottom of the seventh, a two-out RBI single. “It was an exciting finish,” Zenner noted. Jess Hunt had a two-run homer in the nightcap. Hursey had an RBI single. Keeley Forrester had two hits and an RBI. The Norse also lost two games to Mesick last Thursday, 11-0 and 15-2. The Norse had only one hit on the day, in the opener. The Norse finished regular season play with a 5-21 record. The Norse did not field a team last year. Zenner is hoping his team can extend the season at least another game or two. “I think it’s going to take some luck to win the district,” Zenner said. “Glen Lake has the upper hand with the three pitchers they’ve got.”

St. Mary girls split final four regular season games The St. Mary softball team put together two road wins Friday against Traverse City Christian, improving its record to 11-21 overall. Megan Popp pitched the first game as the Eagles won 11-5. Offensively, Nicole Falkiewicz recorded one hit. The second game produced similar results with St. Mary taking the game 10-4.

The Glen Lake girls softball team wrapped up the regular season and Northwest Conference championship by sweeping Mesick this week. Now it’s onto the Division 4 districts, where the heavily-favored Lakers will be at home trying to add another trophy to their championship season. The Lakers will play Traverse City Christian Saturday in the district opener at 10 a.m. Suttons Bay and St. Mary will play 30 minutes after the first game’s conclussion. The title game is set for approximately 2 p.m. “If we play our game, we should have as good a shot as anybody at winning the districts,” said Glen Lake coach Gary Galla after the Lakers improved to 27-8-1 overall after beating Mesick 4-1 and 10-7 on Tuesday. “What we’ve done already this season has made us more confident to do it. “But we still have to go out on the field and do it. It’s like starting all over.” The Lakers will be making a pitch for their first district title since 2003. “It’s always an advantage being at home because we’ve played well at home,” Galla added. The Lakers’ first game at Mesick was a league make-up contest. The latter was a non-league game. Senior Casey Kahler pitched a one-hitter and struck out six in the opener with Mesick. Senior Paige Picard had two hits and two runs scored. Her first hit was the 150th of her career. Freshman Melanie Kulanda had an RBI fielder’s choice grounder for the Lakers, who scored two runs both in the fourth and fifth innings. Junior Tayler Galla got the second game win in relief. Senior Ali Harriger had three hits and 2 RBI. Freshman Jessica Penny had three walks and runs scored. Freshman Kary Pleva added 2 RBI. The Lakers scored four runs in the fourth and sixth innings for the comeback win. Glen Lake finished 11-0-1 atop the NW. The only blemish was a tie with Frankfort. The Lakers also lost two games last Thursday to Elk Rapids, 9-7 in

a public health researcher, with organizations such as the Bandhu Social Welfare Society, and a documentary filmmaker under her company Old Fan Films. She has a few projects she’s working on. Her greatest accomplishment, however, was having her documentary work showcased at the Smithsonian Institute’s Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum & United Nations in New York. “It was all about innovation, creativity, and coming up with designs that help those who do not have access to things that we often take for granted,” Baumann wrote. She’s definitely been busy, and though she’s really enjoyed her time living in southeast Asia — she just moved to Bangkok last month — she still tries to visit Suttons Bay to see her family and spend some time in the area. “I’ve been to many places, but our bay is still the most beautiful!”

The art of filmmaking can impact the lives of individuals in a variety of ways. A good film can inspire, create laughter and bring people to tears. For Sara Baumann, filmmaking has provided an opportunity to promote awareness and bring about social change. Through the use of this media, the 2004 Suttons Bay grad has been able to creatively channel her abilities as a public health researcher to create short documentaries and films with the potential to carry a lasting impact. Her abilities have taken her places such as India, Bangladesh and Thailand, where she currently resides. Her success is something Leelanau County can be proud of. “Last fall I had the opportunity to come back to America to shoot a film with the Traverse Bay Area Film and New Media Institute called ‘The Frayed Ends’ which we will be releasing at the end of this summer,” she wrote. She’s also completed a short documentary on Traverse City resident Marina Worden this past winter. The documentary focuses on Marina’s courage and creativity as she learns to cope with cancer. Baumann plans to release the film this summer as well. Baumann, who grew up in Bingham Township, was involved in cheerleading in high school and received a university scholarship from Friends of Fine Arts (FOFA). Following graduation, she attended the University of Michigan (U-M) in Ann Arbor where she maintained a 3.5 GPA. “I learned a lot about research in the social sciences, particularly in sociology and social justice,” the 26-year-old stated in an email. “I also took a lot of art classes and I think that is why I am a ‘filmmaker’ today!” At the U-M, Baumann spent time in India working with the university’s Center for South Asian Studies Research Fellowship, analyzing social aspects of HIV transmission. She also was involved in research toward developing a computer system to assist those with visual impairments and completed a Fulbright fellowship, focusing on creative ways to address public health issues and development in Bangladesh. “I value the importance of research and understanding the deeply embedded socio-cultural-political context when creating films and working in the media,” Baumann wrote. After graduating from U-M, she earned her master’s degree in public health from the James P. Grant School of Public Health at BRAC University in Bangladesh. She’s currently working as

Work closer to allowing ‘cluster’ septics up 2.85 percent from this year. Some $208,747 is being requested of Benzie, up $18,142 from this year or 3.21 percent. “It’s a higher percentage than Leelanau because Benzie has picked up a little in terms of population,” department director Bill Crawford said, adding that the request reﬂects each county’s past support history. In other business during its May 24 meeting the board: • Approved a resolution allowing employees to borrow from their retirement funds. Only funds paid in by the employee — no employer contributions — will be available. Employees then repay their retirement account on a lower interest rate than that available from traditional lending institutions. • Heard a presentation on the WIC (Women, Infant and Children Nutritional Supplement Program) from Deb Aldridge, personal health supervisor.

of the substandard on-site systems were suitable for on-site upgrades. However, nothing had been done. The examination also indicated that only a small percentage of the existing holding tanks systems would be candidates for mounded systems under the proposed change.

Proposed ordinance changes are expected to be the subject of a public hearing held in conjunction with the Board of Health Meeting July 26. Upon approval of the board, the revisions must also be adopted by both Leelanau and Benzie county boards of commissioners to be implemented.

More than $25,000 in additional funding for the 2012-13 budget year will be sought by the Benzie-Leelanau District Health Department from its member counties. The district Board of Health has formalized its request for the coming budget year which begins Oct. 1. In past years, Leelanau County commissioners have approved without issue appropriations sought by the department that have historically represented an increase of about 3 percent per year. However, Benzie ofﬁcials have not supported increases, which has resulted in increased environmental health fees in that county to make up the difference. Funding appropriations are requested based on a formula that ﬁgures in each county’s population. During the current budget year, Leelanau County paid $265,428 toward the department’s $2.1 million spending plan. In 2012-13, Leelanau County will be asked for $272,998,

Work continues on the proposed revisions to county septage regulations to allow “cluster” systems to collect waste in residential areas. Bill Crawford, director of the Benzie-Leelanau District Health Department, reported at the Board of Health meeting held last Thursday, May 24, that he continues to work with legal counsel and will need one final meeting with staff to complete the proposed revisions. Changes have been in the works for the past year. “I’m anticipating a July public hearing — if we’re not ready by then … it will be my fault,” Crawford said. Changes in the septage regulations have been sought by John Popa, a member of the county Board of Public Works, lakefront property owner and member of the Lake Leelanau Lake Association. Popa suggested up to four feet of fill (mounded) to allow construction of on-site sewer systems along the lake. Popa said that reducing the amount of required fill would make it easier for homeowners to upgrade older systems. His concern resulted in a department study of all properties within 500 feet of Lake Leelanau and North Lake Leelanau. The 1,606 buildable parcels were divided into four groups — permitted systems built since 1972, permitted holding tank systems, nonpermitted on-site systems built prior to 1972 and vacant lots. Five-hundred-seven parcels had approved systems, 242 were on holding tanks, 384 had old systems built prior to ‘72 and 473 were vacant. The study showed that nearly half

Grads Continued from Page 1 One of those students is Brooke Mikowski, who plans to pursue a degree in social work at Central Michigan University, where her aunt went to college. “I want to be able to know that I can do it on my own, not just for my family, but for me personally,” Mikowski said. The 18-year-old will pay for her education with grants and loans. Brady Schwartz, who will also graduate from Suttons Bay, will attend Northwestern Michigan College. A first generation college student – defined as a student whose parents have not attained a college degree – Schwartz will study photojournalism. “Photojournalism is something I really want to pursue,” he said. “It’s my dream. I want to be able to travel the world and take pictures.” Schwartz will work over the summer to pay for his schooling and will also depend on grants and loans. “My parents won’t have much support for me money-wise,” he said. Wanageshik plans to attend Northwestern Michigan College this fall and eventually transfer to Ferris State University to study dentistry. In

the meantime, he’s rehearsing the student address he was asked to give at Friday’s commencement exercises. Wanageshik, who goes by the nickname “Mickey,” is not a straight-A student. Nor is he an athletic standout. He is simply a well-liked student who is not shy about talking in front of crowds. “Supposedly I have a presence when I speak,” he said. Things have not always been easy for the Peshawbestown resident, who said he sometimes struggled with understanding the subject matter. He’s also a slow reader, he said, easily dis-

tracted and sometimes has more important things to do. “But I always had that small motivation to keep on pushing,” he said. “It was hard.” One of the greatest advantages to having a small class size is that if a student is struggling, he or she will receive quick intervention, said Stowe, himself a graduate of Northport who is in his 16th year as an employee with the district. And when those students succeed, everyone shares in their victories, he said. Wanageshik wants to be one of those success stories. “Hopefully I make it in the world,” he said. The second graduation in the county will be held Saturday at 11 a.m. on the campus of the Leelanau School in Glen Arbor. Some 18 graduates are expected to receive diplomas. Four graduations are set for Sunday, with Leland’s seniors the last to move their tassels next Friday, June 8.

ll of Leelanau County’s seniors — and their proud parents — will be attending commencement exercises in the coming week or so. Here’s a list of dates and times, the number of students from each school who will be graduating this year, and the number (in parentheses) that graduated last year.

Youngsters out Continued from Page 1 room, Hopkins said. The better path for wildlife found “abandoned” is to let the critter be, and retreat from the area. Chances are its mother is in the vicinity. “Some times if does are familiar to an area, they could leave their fawn by a flower bed or roadside. I guess it’s nice that we live so close to nature. But they can be left alone by their mothers for long periods of time — eight hours or longer,” Hopkins said. More advise: Don’t touch, if possible. Human scent can negatively affect the mother-offspring relationship, and attract predators, Hopkins continued. Call the DNR hotline at 1-800-2927800 for further advice. The best alternative is to follow the technique used by a couple from Indiana that found a young owl blown from its nest off Voice Road during a heavy storm that swept across Leelanau County Sunday morning. The couple moved the owlet to a safe place alongside the road, and notified the DNR. Soon bird of prey rehabilitator Rebecca Lessard from Wings of Wonder was on the scene to check, noting the number of off-road vehicles that were seemingly using the road as a race track.

THE LEELANAU ENTERPRISE

“The visitors worried that the baby would be run over, said Lessard on Tuesday. “It’s a baby barred owl, and I’m going to put it out in the wild either tonight or tomorrow night.” The owlet may not want to leave. Found skinny and somewhat malnourished weighing 600 to 700 grams, it gobbled up 40 grams of mice chunks, whiskers and tail included, in its first day. “It’s like he’s at the resort,” said Lessard. “The babies are always on the thin side right now.” That’s because the owl’s parents are straining to provide enough food for a growing family. Soon the babies will be ready to take flight, lightening their parent’s load. Eventually, the owlet will reach a height of two feet, and carry a four-foot wingspan. Barred owls are the only brown-eyed owls in western Michigan; all others have yellow eyes. For the release, Lessard planned to play a recording of barred owl mates calling to their young to gain the attention of the owlet’s real parents. “If I don’t see them, I can still put the baby out. The parents are not moving too far; the babies are just starting to fly. Chances are the parents are still in the area.”

Continued from Page 1 for backcountry campers in Benzie County had a ‘sorry’ sign. “Sometimes we fill both, but for D.H. Day it doesn’t happen that often Memorial Day weekend,” deputy superintendent Tom Ulrich said. The parking lot at the Sleeping Bear Dune Climb was also filled as visitors tackled the sandy cliffs. Likewise, the Visitor Center in Empire was a hub of activity. “Saturday was one of the highest in visitor volume we’ve ever had in one day,” Ulrich said. An electric eye at the door clicks each time someone enters and exits the center. The tally, divided by two, gives the Park Service a count. Saturday some 2,067 persons made their way to the Visitor Center. Sunday this number dropped to 1,873 and trailed off even more to 1,061. But it was still over 1,000 as the holiday wound down. Weekend traffic was the icing on the cake for Matt Wiesen of Crystal River Outfitters in Glen Arbor, which rents bicycles and watercraft for floats on the Crystal River. “The river is one of the first bodies of water to warm up because of it’s shallow depth,” said Wiesen, adding that most activity over the weekend was on the water. “It was a great weekend. But

Tsunami — sort of — does hit Leelanau Co. By Amy Hubbell of the Enterprise staff

The Enterprise may have been a bit premature in using the word “tsunami” to describe the effect of several negative factors on the county fruit crop. An event closer to a tsunami — it involved water levels, at least — actually did occur on West Grand Traverse Bay Sunday. A strong weather system moved across the peninsula from the west bringing strong winds which gusted up to 49 mph at Cherry Capital Airport in Traverse City. The force of the wind pushed down on the body of water causing it to become displaced, leaving boats temporarily high and dry. “It’s called a seiche,” National Weather Service meteorologist Jeff Halblaub said. “Once it occurs on part of the lake all other areas are impact, not at the same magnitude, but its still affected.” Water levels at three NWS stations, at Port Inland in Schoolcraft County and Mackinaw City and Ludington, saw dramatic drops in water levels Sunday. Port Inland had a 12-inch drop between highest and lowest levels. The difference was even greater at Mackinaw City and Ludington where the water dropped 19 inches. John Mitchell witnessed the phenomena first-hand at the Omena Traverse Bay Yacht Club. “Following the heavy rains on Sunday morning, I went down to the docks where I keep my Boston Whaler — and bailed it out,” he explained. With the water lower than usual this spring, Mitchell checked the water level at the bow after bailing in the shallow part of the slip, and found it provided about the normal 10 inches clearance. Two-and-a-half hours later he returned to the club for an opening of the season party and found his bow grounded hard — about 12 to 16 inches lower than the normal water level. The seiche could have contributed to a 47-foot Criss Craft boat becoming beached off Cherry Home Subdivision in Leelanau Township Sunday morning. Township firefighters responded to a call for help about 8:30 a.m. from the boat, which had just left Northport marina bound for Wisconsin.

The vessel had been in dry storage at Northport Bay Boatyard and put into the marina Saturday. The owner, Robert Ayers of New Hampton, Iowa, had planned to travel to Wisconsin and then make his way to Iowa from there. Assistant Chief Todd Huck and Jeff Hester boarded the department’s 25-foot inflatable rescue boat, plucked Ayers and one occupant from the boat and brought them to shore. A tow boat from Charlevoix removed the grounded boat from the sandy beach Tuesday, Leelanau Township Fire Chief Hugh Cook said. In addition to causing a commotion on the water, high winds raised havoc on land. Between 11:30 a.m. Sunday and 2:30 p.m. Monday there were 14 calls to the Sheriff’s dispatch center about large trees blocking streets or taking down powerlines. A tree measuring 12 inches in diameter was reported down on Gilbert Road near M-72. Other downed trees were reported on French Road south of Kabot; south Lake Leelanau Drive; Co. Rd. 616 just of S. Dunn’s Farm Road; near Burdickville and Dunn’s Farm Road; on M-109 west of Shady Lane and on Harriger Beach. Power lines were down on South Lime Lake Road and on Co. Rd. 669 south of M-22. They may have been the source of an extended power outage in the Cedar/Maple City area. An estimated 500 customers of Consumer’s Energy in that area were without power from 3:08 p.m. Saturday through 4:06 a.m. Sunday. In addition to the wind, the storm dumped 1.62 inches of rain in the Maple City area and reports of more than two inches of rain in northern Leland Township. Washouts and flooding situations were reported at several locations just before noon. Included was Gauthier Road off Co. Rd. 645 and a large amount of water crossing Gatzke Road off Good Harbor Trail. The impact of the storm lingered on through Tuesday at Leland Public School where a power surge over the weekend knocked out its phone system. “It makes it tough when parents can’t reach their kids,” Superintendent Jason Stowe said. Phone service was restored to the school late Tuesday afternoon.

the whole week leading up to it was busier than normal.” Activity in Glen Arbor, like other communities on the Leelanau Peninsula, traditionally doesn’t wake up until Memorial Day weekend. “I think we’re starting to see the affect of the Good Morning America designation which was released late in the season last year,” Wiesen said. Viewers of the ABC morning news show voted Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore the most beautiful place in America in mid-August, 2011. Wiesen is optimistic that activity will continue to build as Glen Arbor hosts the M-22 Challenge expected to bring more than 700 competitors to town June 9. Big crowds are also expected for the Endurance Evolution Glen Arbor Solstice half marathon & 5K June 16. That’s the same day at the Glen Lake Chamber of Commerce’s fourth annual BBQ & Brew Festival. “I’m optimistic that this is the beginning of a very busy season for us,” Wiesen said. “People are chomping at the bit to visit here.” It was the same story for Rick Wanroy, owner of The Cove Restaurant in Leland. He calls Memorial weekend the first pulse of business for the season. And if this past weekend was any indication, local business owners could be singing Sonny & Cher’s The Beat Goes On. “The overall weekend was very successful,” Wanroy said. “Everything went smooth and that’s what’s important for us.” While he wouldn’t give out numbers, he said the restaurant set a record last year for numbers of people coming through the doors. And this year’s numbers are up significantly from last year. “I’m pretty sure we’ll have a record this year, too,” he said. The restaurant also served up a fair amount of whitefish, far exceeding what they expected to go through over the weekend, Wanroy said. The restaurant has seating for 200 outside and relies on cooperation from the weather to keep those seats full. “We need it to be warm and not rainy,” Wanroy said. “Cold, crappy weather’s not good for us.” The Cove hosts an annual Memorial Day bash affectionately known as the “Here Comes the Sun” party. Held on Monday — when many of Leland’s visitors are already packing up to go home — this year’s attendance was about the same as last year, he said, which is down considerably from what it has been in the past. In years gone by, he said, “You would have thought Mick Jagger was here. And there were times when I said he was going to be here.”

Research in the name of

By Corey L. Frost Enterprise intern staffer

Beads of algae and water fly through the air as lake trout and other fish struggle against the gill net. It was only a matter of minutes before the crew members’ faces were peppered with bits of Lake Michigan. For those aboard the DNR’s research vessel Steelhead, this is a regular occurrence as they collect data on various species of fish in Lake Michigan to aid biologist in several studies. With 8,000 feet of nylon gillnet to collect and reset, Capt. Jerry Ranville and his crew of three departed north from the Leland Township Marina early one morning last week. The ship’s twin V-6, 380 horsepower Cummins diesel engines clattered as the vessel picked up speed. As part of their spring bottom net surveys, members of the Steelhead crew are tasked with identifying characteristics of their catch, taking some samples and recording their findings in an online database for future use. “There are three main species we’re interested in — lake trout, lake whitefish and yellow perch,” fisheries assistant Bryce Kucharek said. “But we’ll take data on all of the fish we catch.” Their job hold significant value as data collected from these species is used for many purposes including the evaluation of stocking programs, measuring contamination levels for consumption advisories and the success of sport fishing regulations. The data is also used to develop management plans for major fish stocks in Lake Michigan, an important aspect of sustaining fish population in the lake. An hour after departure, the first flagged buoy appeared, marking the position of the gillnet. Together the crew moved to the bow of the ship, preparing to pull in the first net set in 150-foot water. “We set nets at 30, 50, 100 and 150 foot depths,” Kucharek explained. “The variety of depths will help us organize some of the data.” The crew worked hastily as the net was pulled into the Steelhead by its hauler, a spinning machine fit with teeth to catch the mesh design. At first the net yielded nothing more than algae, followed by countless mussels that had taken up a temporary resting place on the nylon. They spilled

onto the deck as Kucharek and the other two crew members, Eric Crissman and Nathan Skop, ran their glove-covered hands along the net, trying to clear away as many mussels as possible. It didn’t take long for fish to appear, though. Small species appeared first — round gobies, bloaters and alewives were quickly freed and placed in black buckets to keep them separated. The crew picked up their pace though, once the net began to produce larger fish. Longnose and common white suckers, lake whitefish and burbot began to appear. However, the majority of the crew’s catch came in the form of lake trout, thrashing back and forth as they were brought into the boat and handled by the crew. They used a “fish pick,” a tool Ranville designed using a bent nail mounted to a wooden handle, to help remove the net from fish that had become tightly entangled. As each was removed, they were placed in totes and moved to the stern when the tote had been filled. Following the collection of nets, the research vessel changed course, heading south of Leland to reset nets for another sample. As the ship bobbed over the slightly choppy water, the crew put their catch on ice before moving inside to start collecting data. Skop, a fisheries technician, set up at a laptop while Kucharek called out (Concluded on Page 8)

Stepped up planting fuels hope of restoring lake trout reproduction By Alan Campbell Of The Enterprise staff

Near the middle of Good Harbor Bay is a dangerous place that spawning lake trout once loved. Jory Jonas retains high hopes that, eventually, they might return to an area called Red Shoals that juts up from the depths of Lake Michigan to within a few feet of the surface. In low water situations — as is occurring now in the Great Lakes — Red Shoals is capable of clipping a centreboard from a sailboat. A MDNR fisheries biologist working out of the Charlevoix Fisheries Research Station, Jonas has joined with a number of state and federal agencies in an effort to restore lake trout reproduction in Lake Michigan. The effort, which has stretched over four decades, has yielded no confirmed natu-

ral reproduction of lake trout — but is being bolstered by stepped up lake trout plantings north of Leelanau County. The extra lake trout will be planted in a sanctuary zone surrounding Beaver Island that includes the Fox islands and waters north and east of North Manitou Island. Although fewer lake trout will be planted directly in waters off Leelanau County, Jonas figures the big jump in numbers planted north of here will end up benefitting nearby fisheries. Eight years ago some 670,000 lake trout smolts were planted in the area; the level of plantings is increasing to 1.5 million per year. “Planting pretty far offshore had been our practice, but we plan to plant closer to the shorelines, and put more on closer reefs,” Jona said. “It might be a break even game for (Leelanau County).” Red Shoals, which covers 150 to 200 acres, was

once a prime lake trout spawning area. Jona hopes some of those lake trout find it to their liking again in late fall. The effort is laudable, says veteran Leland charter fisherman Jim Munoz, although he harbors doubts as to its chances for success. The biology of Lake Michigan has changed substantially since he started charter fishing from Fishtown in the 1970’s, and the two decades previous were every bit as tumultuous. “They’ve been trying to establish a native lake trout population since the 1960’s,” he said. “It isn’t happening, and it’s not going to happen because the lake has changed.” Munoz recalls that in years past if a lure would scrape bottom, there was a good chance it could still catch fish. Not now, as the bottom of Lake Michigan is covered with algae and littered with

zebra mussels. “If your lure touches bottom now, you are done fishing until you pull it up and clean it up ... It never used to be that way. Lake trout were able to reproduce, and things went along as they were supposed to.” Munoz, a retired Leland school teacher, coach and athletic director, started his summer charter business when lake trout were the prime target. And there were plenty of them off the county shoreline, the result of a restocking program that was put into place after lamprey predation and overfishing had devastated trout stocks. Lake trout grew big and fat on an over-abundance of alewives, whose population had expanded to the point that they died by the ton and washed up on Lake Michigan beaches. (Concluded on Page 8)

Occupation: I spent 23 years in the military and 10 years in General Dynamics before retiring up here. I’ve also been with the Lions Club for 22 years. Marital Status: Married for 52 years. You live in Leelanau County because: Primarily because my wife’s relatives were born here. We bought property on Bass Lake near The Homestead after we were Lieutenants in the Army. Last good movie you saw: I took my grandchildren to see the Hunger Games and I was pretty impressed with it. I liked the style of the movie because it takes a look at what’s going on in the world. It’s quite the paradox on the war and everything. Last good book you read: On Bear Mountain by Deborah Smith. It’s about an artist and a family that lives in North Carolina. Told through the first-person perspective of several characters, the story centers around a wrought iron sculpture of a bear that stirs up controversy in the town it was made for.

County. I would love to give the people who speed down this road (Lacore Rd.) tickets. Things important to you that you have accomplished so far: My military career. I had a good career in the Army, I enjoyed it, the work was rewarding. Even Vietnam wasn’t too bad. I designed and built four bridges and three schools there. What you hope to be doing in 10 years: I hope I’m doing as much as I am now. At 85 if I can do as much as I do now I’ll be very happy. Things you lose sleep over: Even though I was in the military, the fact that we have a war every 10 years makes me lose sleep. If you could change one thing in Leelanau County, it would be: I would want to change the fact that this place has become one of the nicest places in the world. It’s getting too busy! Favorite dessert: Key lime pie. Are you a coffee drinker: I am a coffee drinker. I take it differently all day. In the morning I like it with cream and sugar, in the evening — Black. Favorite place in Leelanau County: My back porch; I love my yard. If you have more time, you would: Work some more in the garden. The words that best describe you are: Dependable old grouch — My wife helped me come up with that one.

Twenty-two new permits were issued by the county Construction Code Authority in the past two weeks pushing the tally above 100 and the estimated value of projects to more than $10 million. Four new home starts in as many townships boosted construction value by about $1 million, representing more than half of the two-week tally of $1,784,034. The same period last spring yielded the same number of permits. However, the value of the projects started was more than a half-million lower than last year. The newest permits brought the year-to-date total number of permits to 105, 10 higher than the number issued, for the same period in 2011. These, plus the $1,784,034 in estimated value of the most recent permits issued increased the year-to-date total to $10,118,072, more than 30 percent higher than the YTD tally in the first week of June 2011 — $6,801,417. Following is a list of projects for which permits have been issued, listed by the community in which work is being done: • VILLAGE OF NORTHPORT: Tim and Vicki Kehl, residential post-frame building at 11575 E. Casperson Rd. ($25,600); Nancy/Patrick Muller (Lord & Lady Construction) residential deck at 635 S.

The Wee Shoppe with a Big Heart

S-B village groups get training Members of the Suttons Bay Village Council, its Planning Commission and its Zoning Board of Appeals participated in a training session with village attorney Bryan Graham last week, according to village officials. The seminar focused on the villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planning and zoning responsibilities, according to village manager Wally Delamater. He said the attorney had suggested that village officials be provided a one-hour update on zoning and planning to outline responsibilities of the various units of village government. Delamater noted that a quorum of five members of the seven-member Village Council attended the training session, along with three members of the planning commission and two members of the zoning board of appeals.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The concepts that were stressed included the difference between administrative and legislative requirements, and the fact that decisions must be based on whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually written in the zoning ordinance, not necessarily what people might think is nicer or fairer,â&#x20AC;? Delamater said. The village manager said those who attended agreed that they should attend additional training sessions in the future. On June 13, Delamater noted, members of the planning commission will take a tour of all village properties to gain a broader understanding of what the village government does. He said planners will visit the townshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department of Public Works, its wastewater treatment plants, village parks, and other village properties.

attorney and the seller to discuss the issues. Bahle said they had originally hoped to close on the sale by May 30, but that it was very likely an extension of time would be required. Suttons Bay Township has been renting office space in the Village of Suttons Bay for at least the last 15 years, township officials said. Currently, the township rents space in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Radio Shackâ&#x20AC;? plaza on St. Joseph Avenue (M-22) in downtown Suttons Bay, for $1.900 per month. The township previously rented space in the Mid-American Title Company building to the north on M-22. Before that, all township business was done out of the homes or private businesses of individual township officials. About 10 years ago, the township received $100,000 in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;2-percentâ&#x20AC;? tribal casino revenue sharing payment from the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians for the purpose of acquiring a permanent township office building. Currently, the township has about $175,000 in its building fund. Earlier this year, township officials estimated it would cost $40,000 to $50,000 to renovate the Leelanau Title building for use as township offices. Officials also estimated they could have the new building paid for in less than five years. In other, unrelated business during its special May 21 meeting, the board attended to some business related to Herman Community Park â&#x20AC;&#x201D; another project on which Drozdalski has been playing the lead role. Following the defeat last year of a millage proposal that would help raise funds to develop the park, the board decided to apply for another grant from the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund. According to Bahle, the township was subsequently advised by state officials that the townshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grant application required clarification. A resolution addendum adopted by the Township Board at last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special meeting â&#x20AC;&#x153;acknowledges that the subject grant requires matching fundsâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; something not acknowledged in the townshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most recent grant request for Herman Park. According to language of the resolution addendum: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The total estimated project cost is $252,000, the grant amount requested is $185,000 and the total match is $67,000.â&#x20AC;?

A building that Suttons Bay Township hopes to purchase for use as a township hall apparently has been illegally hooked up to the Village of Suttons Bayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water system since 2007. That news is just the latest wrinkle in the townshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effort to move out of rented office spaces and into a building of its own for the first time in the townshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 158-year history. Earlier this month, township officials were required to seek an amendment to the Village of Suttons Bayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s zoning ordinance to allow the township to purchase the commercial property for â&#x20AC;&#x153;civicâ&#x20AC;? uses. The building is located in Hansen Plaza off Fourth Street near the south end of the village. In an effort to expedite the townshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to purchase the building, the village Planning Commission this month held a special session and a public hearing on a proposed zoning change in time for the Village Council to approve the amendment at its regular monthly meeting on May 21. However, on the same date, village officials sent a letter to the Suttons Bay Township Board and the real estate agent representing the current owner, a corporate entity named Leelanau Title Building, L.L.C. According to the May 21 letter signed by village manager Wally Delamater: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Village has confirmed that an illegal connection was made to the Village water system in late 2007. The village contacted the individual who paid for the water main construction, the contractor who constructed the water main and the engineer who designed and inspected the main and confirmed that a water connection was indeed made illegally.â&#x20AC;? While the unpaid water bill from the beginning of 2008 is just $979.76, the fee to connect the building â&#x20AC;&#x201D; legally â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to the villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water system will be $3,500, according to the village man-

ager. That would add some $4,479 to the cost of acquiring â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or selling â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the building. The township board had agreed to pay $205,000 on a land contract for the building which has an estimated true cash value of $314,471, according to official assessment records. The building has been vacant for several years. The Suttons Bay Township Board met in a special closed session on May 23 to discuss the pending real estate transaction. Although Michiganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Open Meetings Act allows public bodies such as township boards to hold meetings behind closed doors to discuss pending real estate deals, closed sessions are not allowed for discussions about water bills. A newspaper reporter who arrived to cover the meeting minutes after it began was asked by township board trustee Bill Drozdalski to leave the meeting because it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;closed.â&#x20AC;? When asked whether a vote had been taken to close the meeting as required by law, board members admitted no such vote had been taken. They quickly took a 4-0 voice vote to close the meeting. Township clerk Sandra VanHuystee was absent. Later that week, township supervisor Rich Bahle explained that in addition to receiving a copy of the letter from the Village of Suttons Bay about the water service issues, the township also received a routine inspection report on the building which indicated there may be some additional problems. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are some concerns about the furnace in the building and some cracks in one corner of the foundation,â&#x20AC;? Bahle said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These may not be very substantial, but we would like to have them checked out and take corrective action if necessary before we close on the deal. This is all part of the normal due diligence for any real estate transaction.â&#x20AC;? After coming out of closed session, Bahle reported, the board authorized Drozdalski to contact the townshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Leland Township may have zoning ordinance put to a vote JOANN LARKIN, left, and her husband, Harry, signed a petition circulated by John Bunek to force a vote of a new Leland Township Zoning Ordinance. Harry Larkin, township supervisor, voted for the ordinance, but believes voters should decide its fate. ers have a right to decide for themselves whether they want more rules and regulations on their personal property. It should not be decided upon by a group of non-elected individuals and the township board.” If the zoning ordinance goes into effect, more than 70 percent of property owners in Leland Township will be affected by new zoning restrictions, Bunek said. That means they will have to go before a committee for approval every time they want to do something on their property. And that’s an infringement on their rights, he said. Keith Ashley, chairman of the Leland Township Planning Commission, said the commission anticipated the referendum. “That’s part of the democratic process,” Ashley said. “My concern is that the people who are going to be asked to

sign this petition may not know what they are signing or may not have read the ordinance.” Ashley is also concerned that some local builders who had been waiting for the new ordinance to be approved will have to put off planned projects until August. And if the ordinance fails in that election, the projects may not get done at all, Ashley said. If voters turn down the ordinance, there is a provision that the 1996 document will remain in effect. People dislike that zoning guide, he said. “If they’re successful they’ll get what they don’t want,” he said. Ashley said he can safely predict that if that happens a new ordinance will not be written. “I don’t think there’s a person on the Planning Commission that’s interested in doing this again,” Ashley said.

A Leland Township resident has notified the township that he intends to file a referendum to force a public vote on the new Leland Township Zoning Ordinance. John Bunek gave his letter of intent to township clerk Jane Keen on May 17, the same day a public notice that the new zoning ordinance had been adopted was published in the Enterprise. The ordinance was adopted by the township on May 7. Bunek has 30 days, or until June 17, to collect at least 179 signatures, which is 15 percent of the number of votes cast in the last gubernatorial election (1,191) in Leland Township. If enough signatures are collected, voters will decided the issue in the August primary election. A member of Voters of Leland Township (VOLT) — the group that formed to oppose the new zoning ordinance — Bunek said he is confident that he can get the signatures without even trying. Several people, in fact, have already signed the referendum, he said. Township officials have been working on the new zoning ordinance for about four years. The original was written in 1996 and this one, they say, is more concise, easier to understand and has plenty of graphics. Members of VOLT, however, say it is too restrictive. “They have overstepped their bounds,” said Bunek, former owner of Bunek’s Hardware. “The property own-

Niessink appointed captain, interim chief The Leland Township Board of Trustees at a special meeting held Friday confirmed the appointments of Geoff Niessink as captain and Andy Stander as lieutenant of the Leland Township Fire and Rescue Department. Niessink was also appointed interim acting chief, a position he will hold until a new chief is hired. In all the board approved seven measures recommended by the Leland Township Fire Board. Those measures are meant to stabilize a department that has been wracked by turmoil and low morale that culminated with the resignation of former Fire Chief Michael Fandel on May 18. But board members were hung up on whether Fandel’s resignation as chief terminates his status as a member of the fire department. Leland Township Supervisor Harry Larkin said he wanted the board to move to terminate Fandel’s

employment, saying it would be a disruption for Fandel to come back and that he would have to reapply if he wanted to work as a firefighter with the department. “We have to move on,” Larkin said. “The department was in disarray. He sought to resign. I think we should move on from there, make a clean break.” Trustee Susan Och disagreed, saying the department has 11 years of training invested in Fandel. Och said she was in favor of offering Fandel a six-month leave of absence to let things “cool off” and then letting him resume employment. Trustee Steve Plamondon agreed with Och, saying that Fandel could be a valuable asset to the fire department. “He can’t be if he can’t get along with anyone,” Larkin said. Jane Keen, township clerk, said the men on the department have felt threatened by and been fearful of Fandel, who she said has been known to retaliate. “Would you be comfortable in a fire situation with that person?” Keen asked. Och made a motion to grant Fandel a

leave of absence; the motion did not get any support. Larkin made a motion to terminate Fandel; the motion failed on a vote of 3-2, with Och, Plamondon and Treasurer Shirley Garthe voting “no.” In the end, a motion to have interim chief Niessink make a recommendation on Fandel’s status with the department passed unanimously. The township also authorized the Fire Board to move ahead with a search for a new chief, which may be changed to a full-time position, Keen said. “It’s too much work for a part-time position,” she said. Fandel was also paid a base salary of $55,000, which she said could be considered full-time pay. Many of the complaints about him centered around the fact that he did not return calls to his men or spend enough time at the department. The search committee will be made up of Fire Board members and people from the community. The township also authorized the Fire Board to negotiate an Advanced Life Support contract with Suttons Bay Bingham Fire and Rescue; to have Niessink serve on that negotiating committee; to approve Donald Spinniken as a full-time duty crew member of the department, with Niessink’s approval; and to appoint Ken Tietje as liaison to the Leland Township Volunteer Fire Department.

THE PLACE TO PLAY

rotate the face open or close from its square-to-the-line orientation. There is no time during your short back-stroke motion (only two to three inches long) to rotate the face open or closed and then get it back to square at exactly the right time. For right-handers, the back of your left forearm should point in the same direction as your putter face at impact. The back of your left forearm always faces in the same direction as the face of your putter. One is tied to the other. When you push a putt, you do so by aiming your left forearm to the right at impact; when you pull to the left, you do so by aligning that forearm left at impact. Pay attention to where your forearm and the back of your left hand are throughout your putting stoke—because wherever they are pointing at impact … that’s where the ball’s going! Also, remember that putter deceleration is a killer on short putts, and that when putts are “dying” as they approach the hole, they tend to turn away from it. Smooth, rhythmic acceleration is a trademark of good putting. If you keep your putter face square and take your backstroke to the count of “one” and then make a slightly longer through-stroke to the count of “two”, you will achieve a simple acceleration to your putter head through your impact zone.

Alcohol is alleged to have played a role in two county accidents over the weekend that left three persons injured. A couple from Lake Leelanau was injured Sunday night when their vehicle struck an unoccupied car on M-204 (Philip Street) about 9:30 p.m. Sheri Ritter, 53, was driving the vehicle westbound when her husband, Jason took the wheel, crossed the center line and struck a vehicle just west of St. Mary Street, Undersheriff Scott Wooters said. Both the Ritters had been drinking prior to the accident, Wooters said. The couple was transported to Munson Medical Center where they were treated and released. Monday evening about 11:20 p.m. a 29-year-old Lake Leelanau man was injured in a one-car accident on Co. Rd. 641 and Donner Road. Edward James Wilson was northbound on 641 when he failed to negotiate a curve, drove through a triangle of land separating the roads and into a group of trees, Wooters said. Wilson was transported to Munson Medical Center where he was listed in fair condition Tuesday morning. Alcohol is believed to have played a role in the accident, Wooters said.

Undersheriff Scott Wooters said the college does not normally notify the sheriff’s ofﬁce when it is doing ﬂight training exercises. “We would not typically have any reason to need to know that,” Wooters said. And while area emergency responders were tied up for a couple of hours, it’s just the cost of doing business, he said. “We always err on the side of caution and err on the side of public safety,” he said.

When calls started coming into Leelanau County Central Dispatch last week about a sputtering airplane over Good Harbor Bay that disappeared from sight, area police, fire, and rescue personnel had to assume the worse. Turns out, the plane was part a training program from the Northwestern Michigan College aviation program, which had its pilots practicing idling the engine while flying. Several witnesses — people who live or were near Good Harbor Beach at the end of Bohemian Road in Cleveland Township — called 911 on May 23 to report that they heard the engine sputtering, backfiring and stopping and starting. One witness, Jim Cooper of Suttons Bay, said he saw the plane flashing low through the trees and he knew there was something wrong. By the time Cooper, who was hiking on the trails near the beach, got to a place where he had a clear sight of Lake Michigan, the plane was gone.

RESCUE PERSONNEL gather on Good Harbor Beach at the end of Bohemian Road (CR 669) to await the fate of a plane reported down in Lake Michigan on May 23. The plane, which never went down, was part of a training program from Northwestern Michigan College in Traverse City.

Research in the name of fish

FISHERIES TECHNICIAN Nathan Skop enters collected data directly into a database.

Continued from Page 1

Restoring lake trout Continued from Page 1 Munoz was somewhat of a maverick at the time, as the only charter fishing operations in Leelanau County had run out of Northport while there were still lake trout. Leland lacked a safe place for boats beyond the short distance of Leland River downstream of its dam until a harbor was built in the 1960’s. Business was steady, and improved greatly after ferry captain Mike Grosvenor reported that he had spotted schools of salmon around the Manitou islands. At the time, fishing boats out of Leland spent their time trolling over schools of lake trout, and hooked into salmon when they came in to spawn. “Previously, we waited for spawners to come in and fished around the harbor mouth. We caught the big black spawners, and thought that was really great,” Munoz recalled. Eventually, Munoz and other Leland charter fishermen capitalized on salmon that schooled for much or most of the summer around the Manitou islands, joining a statewide salmon frenzy. Chinook and coho salmon had been transplanted from the West Coast of the United States by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources in an effort to fill the preda-

tor roll vacated by lake trout. Salmon are still on top of the food chain for charter clients, Munoz said, because of their line-screeching runs and long fight. In general, they’re also bigger than lake trout. “Occasionally people like to catch lake trout, especially if they have young kids and then it becomes an enjoyable thing. The kids can catch lake trout on their own; they aren’t as strong and don’t fight as hard.” Also, lakers are generally available closer to shore, creating a useful fishery when high winds or poor weather keep fishing boats from venturing to the islands. They’ve been recognized as a sure bet and easy to find by charter fishermen. That’s likely not to change, even if most lake trout plants will be released north of here.

“I’ve caught lake trout that were tagged in Wisconsin, and I’ve caught lake trout that were tagged in Chicago. They don’t stay where they put them. We’ve been lucky through the years, because they bleed out of the (lake trout) sanctuary area,” Munoz said. One recent change in the Lake Michigan ecology may help in the primary effort for all that stocking. Lake trout gullets are filling more with round gobies, another invasive species, and less with alewives. Biologists theorize that lake trout are not built to live on a steady diet of alewives, which leaves them lacking in one vitamin thought necessary for successful reproduction. “I’m intrigued by the possibilities,” Jona said, “and I’m particularly intrigued because round gobies are showing up more in lake trout.”

Grand Traverse Band biologist Brett Fessel has also heard that theory, and can verify through samples taken from Grand Traverse Bay that gobies are becoming more important in the diet of lake trout. He’s hoping to find more lakers in samples without clipped fins, which would signal that they were reproduced naturally. “I do know we see unclipped fish,” Fessel said. “They occasionally show up in surveys. But it’s questionable whether those were naturally reproduced fish, or just were missed at the hatchery when they were clipped.” Munoz remains supportive, if skeptical. “I’m all for the effort. I wish it could be. But it’s been a failure now for 40 some years. I’m all for success, but so far there has been none to report.”

length and weight of each fish. “We use to have to record everything by hand,” Skop said. “Now we can enter our findings directly into a database for biologists at the Charlevoix (Fisheries Research) Station to examine. This allows quick access to our findings for anyone who needs or wants to see it.” Larger fish underwent a more thorough process. Kucharek made incisions along the underside of the fish, allowing him to determine sex and maturity. He also collected stomach samples, cutting out the organ entirely and bagging it for diet analysis later. Scale and muscle samples were then taken from some fish to help biologists examine the health of the species. “Unfortunately, we have to kill the fish we catch in order to collect all the necessary data,” Kucharek said. “It’s really a small sample though, compared to the entire population.” Upon arriving at their destination a couple miles south of Leland, the Steelhead’s crew reset their nets. Following the same depth pattern, they replaced all 8,000 feet before setting course for the marina. The data they’ve collected has helped the DNR keep close tabs on the species that populate Lake Michigan, ensuring that if a problem ever arose, proper action could be taken. Luckily, the crew hasn’t encountered any problems yet. “We’ve seen some sick fish,” Kucharek said as the vessel reentered the marina. “But that’s normal, just like how some people get sick. We continue to see good health in the lakes and data collection like this makes sure we can keep it that way.”

THE LEELANAU Trail, starting here at Lakeview Hills Road in Bingham Township, is closed for grading and paving. from the Michigan Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration provided a $470,000 grant for the portion of trail between Lakeview Hills and Revold roads. The Village of Suttons Bay secured grants and contributed funding to help construct the trail through the Village. To complete the project, TART Trails set a campaign goal of $500,000, including a maintenance fund. The campaign is still $25,000 shy of its goal.

The 6.5-mile unpaved portion of the Lelanau Trail, between Lakeview Hills Road and Revold, is closed. When it reopens, the trail connecting Suttons Bay with Traverse City will be paved. “It’s exciting to see the project happening,” said Julie Clark, executive director of the Traverse Area Recreation and Transportation Trails, Inc. (TART). “A lot of people have been waiting a long time for this trail to be finished.” The trail is scheduled to be completed the first week of July. However, a worker with contractor DJ McQuestion & Sons of Leroy said the project may be completed in a couple of weeks. “We’d be thrilled if it wrapped up sooner, but construction projects are tricky things to predict,” Clark said. “I’ve been impressed with the work they’ve done so far. “They’re minimizing their construction footprint and have graded in a beautiful trail.” During the grading, construction of culverts, removal of a trestle near Bingham Road and the paving, signs point the way through a detour for cyclists. “Right now we’re hearing positive feedback from trail users,” Clark said. “Most folks are anxious to get out on the trail and ride! The paved completion of the entire Leelanau Trail has been a project nearly 20 years in the making, Clark said. The former rail bed was converted to a trail thanks to the hard work and dedication of leaders of the Leelanau Trail Association, and the hundreds of volunteers and supporters. TART Trails board President, Brian Fisher, shared his enthusiasm for the completion of the Leelanau Trail. “The Leelanau Trail is an enormous asset to our area and it is exciting to see it completed,” he said. “I cannot wait to see the smiling faces enjoying the trail engaged in healthy activity. Many thanks to those who made it happen.” Last May, TART Trails kicked off a campaign to raise the funds needed to complete 6.5 miles of paving as well as the final leg through the Village of Suttons Bay north to Dumas Road.

Honoring thos

THE MERCHANT Marine flag is raised during opening ceremonies Monday at the Leelanau County veteran memorial service.

A GUN salute by the Veterans of Foreign War Little Finger Post 7731 marked the closing moments of Monday’s Memorial Service at the Leelanau County veteran memorial.

County speaker asks for support of today’s troops Jim Mogle said war times are a lot different today than when he joined the Navy in 1968. Still those brave enough today to serve and willing to make the ultimate sacrifice deserve at least a pat on the back, the Leland veteran said. Mogle, a commissioned officer and recipient of the bronze star and purple heart for his efforts during Operation Slingshot in the Vietnam War, asked about 150 people attending Monday’s Memorial Day service at the Leelanau County veteran memorial to thank anyone who wears a uniform these days. “If you’re at an airport and you see a soldier or a marine, walk up to them, shake their hand and say thank you,” Mogle said. “They’ll be surprised and a little shocked. “They don’t hear that very often, but I can assure you they will appreciate it and they’ll remember it.” Mogle was the keynote speaker at the Leelanau County veteran memorial. He started his speech by saying that more than 1 million Americans have given their lives for freedom through 10 wars fought in the 230 years since the Revolutionary War. “Today we honor the ideals and values that they fought for died defending them,” Mogle said. “My thoughts today are also with many men and women who are serving around the world who make days like today possible for the rest of us.” Mogle said when one asks himself who are these men and women who gave so much through the years, the answer was easier years ago. “Ask of a World War II vet, it was easy. It was almost everyone ... a son, a brother, a father, an uncle or a next door neighbor,” he said. “Every American knew somebody fighting in the war and most would have known someone killed in battle. “And to somewhat of a lesser extent, the same was true in Korea.” But things began to change with the Vietnam era. “Service in that war was optional and there were many ways to avoid service,” Mogel said. “Some legitimate, some less so. “Who are those who still serve so valiantly. Very few of us can say we know someone who served in Iraq or Afghanistan because less than 1 percent of Americans today serve in the military.”

Mogle said war is considered an “abstraction” today. “It’s a distant and unpleasant series of TV events that do not effect us personally,” he said. “For a growing number, service has become something for other people to do. “But fortunately for all of us, there are still patriots willing to fight people and unpopular wars.” Mogle, who said he spent four short years in the Navy and left a better man, went on to a long career as an attorney. He said he learned many life lessons in the service. “I learned lessons of leadership, brotherhood, camaraderie and commitment that cannot be learned in any other environment,” he said. Mogle said he was proud of all who served in his family, from his son Mark, an Air Force vet in the Iragi Freedom War, his brother-in-law of 34 who served in Dessert Storm and especially his fatherin-law, Silas R. Johnson Sr., a retired senior Navy captain. Seven veterans were recognized at the county ceremony, including World War II veterans Mary L. Bradley (Jelinek) Lewis Houdek, Ben Hohnke, Don Schwendemann and Ray Stachnik. Bradley was a nurse. Schwendemann, 93, was a mine sweeper. Also honored were Leonard Kropp, who served in the War of New Guinea in WWII, and Jack Chambers Sr, who altered his birth certificate in an effort to enlist at the age of 16. He eventually served as a Marine in Japan, Korea and stateside. His four older brothers all served in World War II. “War times are tough and people don’t know or have any idea what war is all about,” Chambers said after the ceremony. “Today I just lean back and reminisce. “I think it’s great to have a ceremony like this, but I’d like to see it all filled up around.” County commissioner and former Army sergeant Dick Schmuckal emceed the annual event, which lasted about 70 minutes. Taps were played, followed by Amazing Grace before a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter fly-over. “It is very touching to read the bios and talk about where they have been and what they’ve done,” Schmuckal said. “I’m truly humbled by many who gave so much more than I was called upon to give.”

Northport Community event draws hundreds Several hundred people young and old were on hand to pay homage to veterans both living and those who gave their lives in service of their country at the annual Northport Community Memorial Day Service held Monday at the Leelanau Township Cemetery. The community-wide event featured several songs by the Village Voices choir, as well as rousing patriotic music performed by the Northport Community Band and Taps, played by bugalist Ken Bloomquist, with an echo played by Dick Allen. The service began under a cloudless sky with an opening processional that included Northport Girl Scout, Brownie and Boy Scout troops and the Leelanau County Sheriff’s Mounted Division, with horses ridden by Captain Kristy Kortz, Sgt. Kris Deisler and Lt. Neale Hubschneider. Local veteran Charles H. Holden, who fought in the Civil War; Jonas Shawandase, who fought in the Spanish American War; and Fredrick Leslie, who fought in World War I; were all represented by empty chairs set alongside living veterans from WWII, the Korean War, the Vietnam War and the Persian Gulf wars.

ATTENDEES jam to the music of Detroit band Laith Al-Saadi at the first Lake Leelanau Spring Fest, which drew a sizable crowd to a field off Eagle highway.

2-16-12

Jason Schewe of Traverse City, a Glen Lake graduate, tuned his beefy bass in the background while Detroit area band Laith Al-Saadi was on stage running through riffs of The Band’s classic rock and roll hit The Shape I’m In. “This is my first (Lake Leelanau music festival),” said Schewe over Laith Al-Saadi’s music, which filled farmer Bruce Price’s field located just off Eagle Highway. “I saw the promo on Facebook. I said, ‘That looks like fun’ ... I remember going to Dune Grass concerts and seeing fewer people than this.” Schewe, a member of a handful of Traverse City area bands, was due to play a later set with the Blue Dirt Band as the festival drew toward its conclusion at sunset. Judging by those in attendance, the Lake Leelanau Community Association’s plan to move its blues festival held over Labor Day weekend ahead to Memorial Day weekend and change its name to the Lake Leelanau Spring Fest was a success — albeit a delayed one. Sunday morning dawned with thunderstorm-filled skies that dumped more than two inches of rain in the vicinity of the festival. But tents withstood the rain and wind, allowing festival opening act Sour Mash to start only one hour late at 1 p.m. “It started off looking muddy, but look at it now,” said community association volunteer Vicki Kilway, who was helping to run the front gate. “Once the weather turned around, we’ve had a fairly decent turnout.” Kilway estimated that some 400 people had paid to attend the festival by 6 p.m. Vic Starr of Honor made the drive to attend, and was impressed. “It’s awesome. It’s a fantastic time, and a fairly good deal,” said Starr of the $10 entry fee. “We’ll be back.”

The Leelanau Enterprise will again provide a weekly musical calendar called â&#x20AC;&#x153;County Notes,â&#x20AC;? which will begin in the June 7 issue. To have an event included, just call Enterprise intern writer Corey Frost at 256-9827, or email him at intern@leelanaunews.com. Tarsa said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What can I do to add to it, make it longer and add different parts? Basically, how can I change it?â&#x20AC;? This often leads the young composer beyond the physical instrument and to his computer. With about 100 incomplete files, he has a lot of material to work on. Tarsa works with two programs primarily. The first being Finale, a notation program that allows him to map out his ideas and tweak various sounds. He also works closely with Mixcraft, a multi-track recording and mixing program. Combining these two programs, he can layer multiple instrument tracks, create unique sounds with virtual mixing boards and add instruments heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as skilled with, like drums. Tarsa looks to increase his ability with instruments, trying to learn alto saxophone and working on his guitar skills. He says he would like to become more diverse with band instruments as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I wrote Del Rey I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand the trumpetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s abilities,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So part of that piece had to be

The silence was broken as each hammer in his Steinhauer Cabinet Grand piano fell against the desired strings. His fingers moved gracefully over the keys, alternating between soft presses and forceful strikes. This is where 14-year-old Tristan Tarsa starts his composition process. Though heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only been composing for two years, the eighth grader from St. Mary School created a name for himself when he debuted his first two pieces, Piano Solo Emotions and Del Rey, at the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Spring Arts Festival earlier this month. His efforts earned him a standing ovation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expecting that, so I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even notice at first,â&#x20AC;? Tarsa chuckled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Someone told me and I was like â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Really?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Tarsa began playing piano when he was 6-years-old, learning from his uncle and drawing techniques and inspiration from his cousins. As a home-schooled student, he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to participate in a band program. This didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t slow him down however, and he continued to develop his playing skills until his parents, Matt and Laura, enrolled him at St. Mary two years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was really interested in music, but I never thought about composing,â&#x20AC;? Tarsa said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started band and I loved the way all the instruments worked together.â&#x20AC;? Tarsa delved deeper into the world of composition, turning the song Fireflies, a 2009 hit single from his favorite artist Owl City, into a band piece. While he still experiments with other artistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; songs, he has focused on creating several of his own pieces. He starts with various sounds at the piano and flute until something â&#x20AC;&#x153;coolâ&#x20AC;? catches his ear. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I decide: What can I do with this?â&#x20AC;?

cut because I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play it.â&#x20AC;? He remained positive and proceeded with his piece for the concert, finishing it in only a couple of days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a lot of fun to put it out there,â&#x20AC;? Tarsa said with a smile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to show people what I can do â&#x20AC;&#x201D; what I like to do.â&#x20AC;? He has big plans. Once he enters high school, he wants to attend the Career Tech Center in Traverse City to work on graphic design, ultimately aspiring to attend college to further develop his artistic skills. He hopes his life presents him with the opportunities to be outside doing the things he loves and not restricted by a rigid schedule. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lots of people want to be a doctor or lawyer,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But being stuck in an office wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t interest me.â&#x20AC;? For now, he continues to work on his music. His immediate goal? To produce a 10-track album under his stage name â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inspiration.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to have it done by this fall,â&#x20AC;? Tarsa said enthusiastically. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If everything goes well, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have my pieces copyrighted and put them on iTunes for people to discover and buy. That would be really cool.â&#x20AC;?

Water exits, but returns to Omena Yacht Club By LESLIE DISCH Phone/fax 386-5686 email: phen.omena.2@gmail.com * * *

Memorial Day weekend was no exception to the unusual weather that has been the hallmark of 2012. We had some beautiful weather, and some thunder storms and torrential rain — which we badly needed. Late Sunday afternoon several people noticed what was most likely a seiche (pronounced saysh) in Omena Bay. Around 5 p.m., Kim Kemper noticed that the water was completely gone in the slips at the Omena Traverse Yacht Club, and the boat that was there was high and dry. Then, sometime later, the water was back. Bruce Balas noticed that the water in front of their house all of a sudden went way out, and then suddenly came back in. A seiche is a standing wave in an enclosed or partially enclosed body of water. They have been observed on everything from swimming pools and

reservoirs to lakes and harbors. The effect is caused by wind or atmospheric pressure variations. Small rhythmic seiches are almost always present on larger lakes. On the Great Lakes, a seiche is often called a slosh. However, they are usually unnoticeable. The National Weather Service issues low water advisories for portions of the Great Lakes when seiches of two feet or more are likely to occur. Lake seiches can occur very quickly. On July 13, 1995, a big seiche on Lake Superior caused the water level to fall and then rise again by three feet within fifteen minutes, leaving some boats hanging on their mooring lines when the water retreated. On Lake Michigan, eight fishermen were swept away and drowned when a 10-foot seiche hit the Chicago waterfront on June 26, 1954. Reading about this brought back a memory of my father telling the story that when he was young, probably in the early 1920’s, a “tidal wave” — in his words hit Milwaukee and caused a lot of damage. That always sounded strange to me, but

Happy Summer. I’m happy to say that we had quite a rain and wind storm on Saturday and we didn’t lose power, yea. That is progress. Our Emergency Services had to get the boat out on Saturday. Sometimes its hard to understand, but when you are able to see a storm coming across the

Painter, potter works on display at Center Gallery “Pots and Paintings” fill Center Gallery at Lake Street Studios in Glen Arbor beginning Friday. This show features the work of painter Beth Bricker and potter Matt McGovern. Bricker, a Glen Arbor resident, focuses on the local landscape, flora and fauna to create paintings drawn from her immediate surroundings. Her intensely colored canvases are inspired by the natural surroundings in which she has lived for the last three decades. McGovern’s works-in-clay include a full range of decorative, utilitarian porcelain vessels fired in a high temperature soda kiln. This method of firing gives his pots a dynamic appearance that causes the glaze to graduate from shiny to matte; marks generated during construction become part of the pot’s aesthetic. The Cedar resident is also potter-inresidence at Center Gallery. “Pots and Paintings” continues through July 5. Center Gallery is located at 6023 S. Lake St. Further information is available at 334-3179.

bay, you don’t take a small catamaran out. Well a sailor did and of course it went over and the emergency services had to get the sailor out of the water. The weekend went really well other than the sailor and a few trees down. Kinda standard for a Memorial Day weekend. It’s baseball season, which has already been a little tough on a couple of softball players. If you get to Boone Docks in Glen Arbor, you might notice Tim with a cast on his arm, a catching injury and if you get to Joe’s or the Village Inn in Empire, you might notice Frank with a broken leg. Apparently he did a mighty Casey (struck out) and swung around and broke his leg. It could be a long season. Happy Anniversary wishes to Bea and Jerry Hodge, 57 years, Delores and Bill Strobel, 52 years, Barb and Jim Munson, 50 years and Dana and Lance Roman, 28 years. Happy Birthday wishes to Mackenzie Roman, Karen Soderholm, Jim Munson, Jim Martin and Larry Rank. Special Birthday wishes to Sofie Slowik. Mrs. Slowik’s family has come together from downstate Michigan, Brooklyn, N.Y. and as far as Europe to meet on Glen Lake to celebrate their mother’s 90th birthday. Happy Birthday Mrs. Slowik. Be careful driving, watch for deer and fudgies on the highway. Don’t forget to pay at the ramp, you are on candid camera. Go Sox.

now I understand what it most likely was. Then, Monday evening around 8 p.m., as the storm clouds were gathering again, there was a spectacular double rainbow over Omena Bay to the east. It capped off a special holiday weekend. The Leelanau Township Memorial Day service at the Township Cemetery was very moving, as it always is. Reverend Cermak’s reading of “In Flanders Field” made the field of poppies almost visible to the audience. Jerry Dennis gave a poignant history of the Spanish American War, and his closing comments on remembrance and freedom brought tears to many eyes. One band member commented that it was hard playing the Grand Old Flag right after that. The parade was led by the Leelanau County Mounted Police, and the flag was raised by Girl Scout Troops 92 and 94. The Northport Community Band and the Village Voices did a wonderful job providing patriotic music. Omena residents in the band or Village Voices included Ron Sutton, Joan Kalchik TenBrock, and Joan Post Brown. Hopefully I didn’t miss anyone. Fortunately, the weather was great all day Saturday for all of the events in Northport. The fire departments annual Car Show and the Northport Big Show craft fair, organized by Sharon Kalchik, and the annual Blessing of the Pets were all great successes. Omena-ite Jeannie Harter was in the show with some of hers and her daughter’s creations. Bob and Gail Lang were up for the weekend and took in the Northport events. Larry McMachen arrived from Las Vegas to spend a week in town before his Northport School 50th Class Reunion this weekend. Sally McCoy was also in that class and is in town from Northern Ireland, staying with classmate Dave Johnson and his wife Jacquie. Lots of people were in town for the weekend, either returning for the season or up for the weekend. Mike and Laurie Adelson were up from Brighton with their golden retriever puppy, Bailey. Delcie White is back from Marco Island, Fla. John and Barb Harris were in town

for the weekend. On Friday evening the Harris’s and Larry and Joey Bensley joined Jonnie Hodgson at the Memorial weekend reception at Northport Highlands. Jeff and Tami Bosco and their son Zachary are here from Fitchburg, Wis. Bill and Judy Knorp have arrived from Auburn, California for the summer. Bill and Nancy Sandt were here from Midland. Bill and Susan Krusel and their sons Karl and William were in town from West Bloomfield. Cathy Stephenson was in town from Chicago with her friend Kathleen Wickham from Milwaukee. Jim and Bonnie Scarlett and their daughter Kelli were here from Grand Rapids. George and Annette Husted are here for the summer from Fort Myers, Florida. Susie Goldman is here for the summer from Phoenix. Bill and Tish Renz and their daughter Crystal were here from Cincinnati. Sam and Carol Knoll came for Memorial Day weekend. Geoff and Betsy Parker and their son Woody were here from Kansas City for the weekend. Woody will be commissioned as an Ensign in the U.S. Navy when he returns to Kansas City. He will be attending medical school at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in the fall. Bluegrass music at its best is kicking off the 2012 Northport Community Arts Center season. Detour — Bluegrass Ahead will be performing Saturday, June 9 at 8 p.m. Call 386–5001 for more information. The Northport Youth Sailing School is still accepting applications for its oneweek sailing classes.

Happy Anniversary to Ron and Mary Tonneberger and to Ed and Mary Woessner.

Pharmacy Topics “Where your good health is our business” We Accept TASC Cards A new large, international study published in the New England Journal of Medicine finds that the immunosuppressant drug mycophenolate mofetil is superior to azathioprine, an older immunosuppressant, as a maintenance therapy for lupus nephritis. Lupus nephritis is an inflammation of the kidney caused by systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) a disease of the immune system. Lupus nephritis may cause weight gain, high blood pressure, dark urine, or swelling around the eyes, legs, ankles, or fingers. In some patients the inflammation may be severe enough to cause kidney failure. However, some people with SLE have no symptoms of kidney disease. Both mycophenolate mofetil and azathioprine have been FDAapproved since the mid-1990s for use in kidney transplant patients, to help prevent organ rejection. Neither is FDA-approved as a maintenance therapy for lupus nephritis, but their immunosuppressant qualities make them useful for that purpose and physicians have been prescribing them off-label for that indication for many years. The mycophonolate mofetil used in the study is marketed as CellCept, while the azathioprine is sold as Imuran. However, both drugs are now widely available as generics. *** A recent study of children published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism has found that low vitamin D levels are significantly more prevalent in obese children and are associated with risk factors for type 2 diabetes. High rates of vitamin D deficiency have been found in obese populations and past studies have linked low vitamin D levels to cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. *** Brought to you as a public service by

Suttons Bay will have 90 graduates, Glen Lake will graduate 60 students, Northport will have 19 graduates, Leelanau School has 27 graduates and Leelanau Peninsula High School has five graduates. *** The Empire Village Council is supporting a private effort among village residents and business owners to bring sewer service to the downtown area. The council approved the first step in forming a special assessment district that would pay back funds borrowed from the revolving fund. *** Business owners are offering mixed reviews of this year’s Memorial Day weekend – the traditional beginning of the summer visitor season in Leelanau County. Factors such as cool weather, high gas prices and a weather forecast that called for rain all weekend, may have kept visitors away. 10 YEARS AGO May 30, 2002 Every cloud has a silver lining. And in the case of this season’s usually wet weather, the “silver lining” of clouds and accompanying the rain is increasing lake levels. The level of Lake Michigan is eight inches above this time last year, according to the Army Corps of Engineers, and is expected to rise three additional inches by the end of June. *** A private sewer system serving property owners in Cleveland and Centerville townships remained in operation this week, but questions over who will operate the system — and who will pay for it — remained unsolved. *** The first of 228 members of the Class of 2002 have already moved their tassels over to the other sides of their hats, and dozens more will receive diplomas in the next two weeks. 35 YEARS AGO May 26, 1977 A type of net that could lead to a revival of commercial fishing on Lake Michigan is now being tried out at Leland, with practice sessions this week reported to have been successful. The equipment being used by the Leland Fish Co. is a purse seine, a large net equipped with floats on the top and sinkers on the bottom edge.

*** In what may be a first for Leelanau County, a woman has been named president of one of the county’s three incorporated villages. She is Mrs. Marylouise Idema, chosen Monday night to succeed William Gregory as president of the Village of Suttons Bay. *** Bingham Township has completed its 1977 census of population, counting 1,498 persons and coming within two “noses” of the “guesstimate” of 1,500 made by township officials before the census was started in March. 60 YEARS AGO May 29, 1952 The congregation of Bethlehem church, Glen Arbor, will note the dedication of its newly completed chapel in three services, Sunday, June 1. The Rev. Edward F. Schmidt is pastor. Glen Arbor as a community, is proud of the new Cape Cod Colonial structure located on Lake Street. The church seats 160. *** The Lake Leelanau fire department has purchased, through the Grand Traverse Auto Company at Traverse City, a 2½ ton Ford chassis to be used for the new Leland Township fire truck. *** Members of the Leelanau County American Legion Post 199 Sunday morning placed flags on graves of dead service men throughout the county. Special tribute was paid to those who had died fighting for peace. *** The Leelanau County selective service board has received a warning call for eight men to be inducted into the armed forces in July. None will be called for June. 115 YEARS AGO May 27, 1897 Joseph Sbonek and Joseph Odoi, of Centerville, were pleasant callers today. They say the frost done but little damage. *** Highway Commissioner Porter has organized two more road districts in this township, No. 9 North Manitou Island, No. 10 South Manitou. *** Memorial Day will be observed at Maple City on Monday, May 31st under the auspices, of Murray Post assisted by W. R. C. The parade will form at the Congregational church led by Maple City cornet band.

offered forest drives for walking and riding, grassy areas, several “often elegant cottages,” and two large hotels, which would have been the Hotel Leelanau and the first Omena Inn (now referred to as Omena Inn I to distinguish it from the second Omena Inn). The population of Omena went from 400 in the winter to about 1500 in the summer. The village of Northport also had a winter population of about 400, but its summer population increased by only a couple of hundred. The next year, Sunset Lodge and The Clovers opened, large “cottage style” resorts that added even greater numbers to Omena summer population. Sunset Lodge is the only of the old resorts that is still in operation. In the following decades several other resorts opened, including Freeland Resort, The Oaks, and the second Omena Inn. In 1883, a group of investors, mostly from Cincinnati, purchased the former New Mission school and surrounding property on Omena Heights, did extensive renovation on the building, and opened the Hotel Leelanau in 1885. In 1889 an expanded group of investors formed the Omena Hotel Association, and named S. A. Keyes to superintend the “Cincinnati Resort.” In 1894, they produced a survey for the “First Addition to Omena Heights,” a plan calling for cottages all along what is now Omena Heights Road, as well as in a quarter-circle area of land bordering a small section of Mougey Lake. While it is unclear exactly who was involved with the Omena Hotel Association, in September, 1896, its members included Frank Kirchner, Lewis Voight, J. G. Porter, A. F. Anderson, John Creighton, Joseph Volz, and H. G. Foulds. The plat map being developed for the “First Addition to Omena Heights” was not as extensive as the plan being developed around the same time on the adjacent land purchased by Frank H. Graves of Grand Rapids. Graves purchased 152 acres of Omena Point land from the Omena Hotel Association in June 1892 for which he paid $4,300. He named his proposed resort development “New Mission Point”. Graves plan for his resort resembled a beehive in density and complexity. His lots were smaller than the 50’ x 125’ lots of the First Addition to Omena Heights, but they were also less expensive - $50 - $100, compared to $100 - $400. In both plats, anywhere from four to thirty-five lots were packed into blocks,

For several decades in late 1800’s into the early 1900’s, Omena was a destination for resorters from around the Midwest. Omena’s refreshing breezes provided a respite for asthmatics, allergy sufferers, and those oppressed by the heat and humidity of Midwestern summers. Omena’s emergence as a resort area was built on the century-long search by Americans of sufficient means to rejuvenating surroundings for their summer vacations. Between increasingly dependable steamship navigation and the new railroads, The Grand Traverse region

became a resort possibility. The beacon of resort development on the Great Lakes was Mackinac Island, the earliest and most emulated of all. So great were the virtues of the Island that, in March 1875, President Ulysses S. Grant designated Mackinac Island the country’s second National Park, after Yellowstone. It remained a National Park until 1895 when it was turned over to the State of Michigan and became Michigan’s first State Park. In 1897, the Michigan State Board of Health registered 130 Michigan locations boasting “summer resorts, mineral springs, and sanitaria.” The Board of Health’s 1897 report described Omena as occupying a commanding piece of ground. Its nearly 600 acres

A middle-aged couple was awakened one night when the smoke detector sounded. Grabbing his wife by the arm, he led her down the hallway and out of the house into the front yard safely. He looked at his wife expecting a word of thanks, but noticed that she was smiling. Troubled, he asked, “Why are you smiling?” “Tonight,” she answered, “is the first time that we’ve gone out together in five years.” Unfortunately, there are too many times in life when we are brought together by tragedy rather than tenderness, hopelessness rather than helpfulness, pain rather than pleasure. Success in marriage is more than finding the right person; it is being the right person. Success in family living is more than being together, it is loving together. Success in relationships is more than doing, it is being the person God would have you to be. It is living as Jesus lived and loving as He loved.
