• GOP retains 6 of 7 Co. Board seats

By Alan Campbell of the Enterprise staff

By Amy Hubbell of the Enterprise staff

Enthusiasm for election results seemed to move west to east Tuesday night across the Peninsula.

Republicans, who gathered at Dick’s Pour House in Lake Leelanau, had high hopes of capturing the White House and a few more Senate seats early on Tuesday evening. But as states were called and more votes were counted, their smiles turned upside down.

Not so at the Leelanau Sands Showroom in Peshawbestown, where county Democrats had plenty to smile about — at least on the national level. President Barack Obama scored a decisive victory in the all-important electoral college, “I am happy with the national result, and pretty happy locally in Northport Village,” said Doug Scripps, former county Democratic Party vice chair. “But I thought statewide the Democrats didn’t do as well at all.”

Included was an effort Leelanau to unseat State House repCounty did resentative Ray Franz, retained his seat not vote for who thanks at least partly to a Obama a victory in Leelanau second time County.

Franz, who attended the Republican quiet rally at Dick’s, held a narrow lead about 10 p.m. when interviewed. However, he was concerned about national results.

“I’m extremely disappointed by the Michigan vote,” Franz said. “I thought we had a great game plan.”

Instead, Pres. Barack Obama dominated the Michigan vote, 54%-46%. The state was called early by the networks.

Franz was taken back by Obama’s vote tally in “coal country” — Pennsylvania and Virginia.

“I was very surprised about his success in coal country, given his policies and what they did to the coal industry,” continued Franz.

However, Obama was not embraced by Leelanau County voters, who preferred Mitt Romney by a 7,483-6,576. In 2008, Obama

For the first time ever, the Leelanau County Board of Commissioners will be dominated by women.

Five seats, three of which were in play Tuesday, will be occupied by females beginning in January.

Republicans retained control of the body by a 6-1 majority over Democrats. Neither candidate running without party affiliation was elected.

Melinda C. Lautner of Solon Township had the largest margin of victory among all commissioner candidates, topping Karl (Bill) Dungjen 992-603 or 62 percent of the vote.

“It will be an interesting dynamic to watch,” said Lautner, who won her tenth consecutive District 7 election. “The two men on the board are more quiet than the women. I’m confident we’ll be able to work well together. I don’t see any personality conflicts on the horizon.”

County Lautner took Kasson township by 448-277 Board chair over her challenger. Her fends off margin of victory was smaller in Solon challenge Township where she had from 544 to Dungjen’s 326.

Newcomer Carolyn independent Peachy Rentenbach, one of two Democrats on the 2012 commissioner ballot, took two of three townships in District 6 to top former county board chairman Robert Hawley by a 54-46 margin.

“Obviously the Democrats have a pretty good footing in Empire and Cleveland townships,” said Hawley, who fell to Rentenbach 1,195-981. “It wasn’t even close in Cleveland and Empire and I barely held my own in Glen Arbor Township.”

Bolstered by 483 votes in Empire to Hawley’s 347, Rentenbach held the District 6 seat for Democrats. She also edged Hawley in Cleveland by just over 100 votes there, 387-277. The Republican nominee, Hawley, topped her in Glen Arbor, 357-325. Hawley also serves as the zoning administrator for Glen Arbor township.

New name added to Veterans Memorial

By Alan Campbell of the Enterprise staff

Now there are 111, as another name has been added to the list of Leelanau County warriors who died in combat.

He is Thomas Yagle, a big guy from Elmwood Township who signed up for the Army during the Vietnam War partially out of a need to find steady employment, and partially as a way to serve his country. He dropped out of the Traverse City public school system as a sophomore, needing to find work to help his family’s income.

Yagle died in a fierce firefight in Quang Nam in 1963, one of 58,148 Americans to die in the Vietnam War. He was 22.

Friends and family members have tried for years to have his name included among Leelanau County’s war casualties. Until a few weeks ago, their requests fell on Thomas Yagle deaf ears.

“I’ve tried to get fought, died his name put on the stone since 1969,” in Vietnam

Lives lost in war to be honored at ceremony Leelanau County residents are invited to attend a Veteran’s Day ceremony set for 11 a.m. Sunday at the Veterans Memorial on the county seat campus in Suttons Bay Township.

The national holiday was set aside to recognize the loss of American lives during wars.

The ceremony will coincide with the conclusion of World War I on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, 1918. recalled Gary Keyes, an Elmwood Township resident who attended Norris School with Yagle. “I’m just very happy you got this done.”

Keyes kept up his efforts through the years, contacting new commissioners as they were elected about a need to properly honor Yagle. Keyes wrote a letter to the editor to the Leelanau Enterprise in December of 2009, prompting the

newspaper to write a detailed account of Yagle’s life and research the omission of his name on a granite plaque that serves as the centerpiece for the county’s Veteran’s Memorial at the County Government Center in Suttons Bay Township. Editorials followed seeking the LANCE CPL change — which fell THOMAS YAGLE on deaf ears until new county administrator Chet Janik was hired last fall.

Janik took up the plight, and as part of other work at the memorial instructed that Thomas Yagle’s name be engraved on the plaque. Yagle’s addition was the first change to the tablet since it (Concluded on Page 19)

“I thought Fred was good, but Barb has also been great to work with as a trustee and I expect her being president will be no different.”

Said Kehl, a retired Great Lakes steamship captain, “I think it’s wonderful. I accept the responsibility and hope that I can deliver to the citizens of Northport and do right.”

Added Deering, “Not too bad for a rookie. I really didn’t expect to win ... I would have been a shoe-in 20 or 30 years ago, but I don’t know enough of the people who have moved here.”

Kehl and Deering will begin fouryear terms on Nov. 20.

Jim Watson was fourth among trustee candidates for the second straight election. He received 154 votes. Incumbent Bill Brendel was fifth with 113 and former trustee Fred Thomas was sixth with 106 votes. Rick Burmeister, who dropped out of the race last month, still received 19 votes.

County needs ‘clean’ sale of Leland property In the latest development in a years-long effort to move the former county courthouse property into the hands of a private owner, some county commissioners are tempted to dance with a new partner.

Perhaps that’s a good idea, or perhaps not.

Only one bidder was interested in purchasing the former courthouse property, and with a little research it came as no surprise that the offer was anything but conventional.

The bid matched its author.

Robert Moulton-Ely, according to his Wikipedia biography, once said of his college days at Yale: “My academic achievements and alcohol consumption would have embarassed (George) W. (Bush).”

He ran an unorthodox campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination against Barack Obama. His political stands, which included a pledge to upset trial lawyers through tort reform and provide “basic (read — not great) health insurance” to everyone, are rare among cookie-cutter politicians. We found them appealing.

He’s a history buff from Illinois who, according to Realtor Mark Fisher, has taken a sincere liking to the historic county jail. He plans to sell off the remaining property in larger lots, and refurbish the brick jail into, presumably, his summer home.

All that sounds encouraging, until you get to the bottom line. Moulton-Ely wants to put $500,000 down on the $1.4 million property, then take title. The county would provide a commercial “mortgage” on the remaining $900,000 at no interest.

The county’s first dance with a purchaser, Varley-Kelly Properties, ended up in a nasty divorce. In fact, the county at this point cannot guarantee free title because units approved through zoning and contractual processes have been assigned to two condominium associations. VarleyKelly claims to control the associations — and “intellectual” aspects of the 22-unit development.

Varley-Kelly offered to buy the property for $2.4 million in 2007, just as county government was about to move into its new diggs in Suttons Bay Township. The county extended a land contract to the company, but had the contract revoked in January due to a lack of payment.

The same thing could happen to Moulton-Ely — or to any buyer in these times, for that matter. His simplistic plan may be easier to undo should the relationship fail. The county would have to again regain clear title, but its attorneys would have practice in this area.

Yes, sarcasm.

Already spent is $600,000 to raze buildings from the site and begin environmental clean-up. The funds came through an EPA loan that will eventually need to be repaid — hopefully, through property taxes paid on the property.

While in county ownership, no taxes are being collected.

The biggest decision is whether the county should again finance the sale of the land. Moulton-Ely’s bid seems too close to the path taken before, with the notable exception of the down payment. Or it may be worse, given that the county would hold a mortgage rather than a land contract, which is easier to terminate.

We like the big down payment. We like the big lot concept. We like saving a bit of history.

But even more appealing is the thought of getting rid of the property, free and clear.

Hope against hope for ‘change’ this time Our biggest disappointment in 2012 election results has more to do with the process of running government than the candidates themselves.

It’s been longer than three years since the U.S. Senate has passed a budget, yet the body will continue to be controlled by 51 Democrats. A simple majority, not 60 votes, is needed to approve a budget. In Michigan, Sen. Debbie Stabenaw easily won re-election, although Democrats have failed in one of their most important duties.

Another tidbit: Much of the gridlock in Washington has been blamed on House Republicans. But they, also, retained most of their seats. Yes, they did pass budgets.

Perhaps, just perhaps with a hope and a prayer, our elected politicians will really take a desire for “change” to Washington. Neither side of the aisle should claim clear victory. Pres. Barack Obama fell short of 50 percent of the vote despite easily taking an electoral college majority.

Our worst nightmare? That the politicians think we returned them to Washington based on their body of work.

Corrections: The location of the Leelanau Peninsula Chamber of Commerce business after hours is a few hundred feet from the location provided in a Chamber news release and published last week.

The meeting, which will be held today from 5:30-7 p.m., will be held at the Mosier Cottage, or Green House, at 109 E. Philip St., Lake Leelanau. The release stated the location as the Leelanau Boat Club on the Narrows. The buildings are located close to each other. *** Is it “queue” or “cue”?

A reader from England called to say we had used the wrong word in describing a line-up of people awaiting pictures following a naturalization ceremony.

The story was about new American citizen Ingrid Zotter, who was referring to her native New Zealand dialect. We used the word “cue” based on definitions from a couple of online dictionaries, but willingly concede the point.

“Queue” would have been better. *** Leland public school senior Emma Thomas was misidentified as her sister in a photo in last week’s Enterprise. We apologize for the error. *** Matt Omerza, a senior on the Glen Lake football team, was identified as Chris Omerza, his older brother, in a sports story last week.

We regret the error.

Lucky me I missed those robo calls in this election My first Leelanau County General Election is in the books.

I’d have to say it was a winner.

I didn’t have to wait long in the voting line. Not like the folks in Florida. Are they done voting yet?

My estimated time at the Bingham Township Hall was 10 minutes from the time I entered until I left. And I correctly filled out the lengthy ballot, unlike the unlucky woman ahead of me whose ballot was rejected for voting for more than one candidate in one of the races.

She had to go back and start all over.

I heard from an election official she wasn’t the only do-over.

By the way, I picked all the winners in my township. OK. You got me. Yes, they ran unopposed.

The rest of my picks were a mixed bag.

I was pleased that there was a lack of candidate supporters outside the polling place trying to sway my vote at the last minute. It’s hard to believe it happens all over the country. Do they really think there are some undecideds on election day?

This election was the first in which I never got one robo call ... didn’t hear from Bill Clinton or Barack Obama or Debbie Stabenow or Ray Franz.

I sure missed those robo calls ... not.

Anyway, the lack of calls is one of the benefits of moving, getting a cell phone for the first time in my life and no longer having a land line. God bless America!

My friends and colleagues said they got more than their fair share of robo calls. What a waste of time, in my opinion.

I don’t ever remember a robo caller getting my vote at the ballot box. Over the years, the short oneway conversation actually turned me off. How about you?

The lack of phone conversations by political supporters was, however, made up for with the daily barrage of negative brochures and flyers. And, of course, television commercials.

This election I did get the privi-

lege of meeting two candidates running a state office — A column for Ray Franz by (Republican) and Allen O’Shea Mike (Democrat) in last Spencer month’s 101st House of Representatives candidates forum at the Glen Arbor Township Hall. OK. I had to go. It was part of the job of being a reporter with one of the cosponsors of the forum.

But it was enlightening. All those ads I had seen and heard about Franz and O’Shea just didn’t do the guys justice. And all those allegations about how bad the candidates were, they didn’t give a true picture.

Both candidates agreed on that issue.

Over the years, I’ve never really liked politics even though I earned a minor in political science at Central Michigan University while studying journalism. Those that know me best realize my world is the world of sports.

A year ago even state political reporter/columnist Tim Skubick told me and a large business group at Saginaw Valley State University that I had the best job in the world because most people in Michigan cared more about the Tigers than Lansing.

OK. Got off the political track a bit, but as I was saying, the daily deluge of political ads was a bit much. So much negativity.

Sometimes I got two a day from the same candidate. Good thing the recycling bin is in the garage near the entrance way. Some of those campaign ads never got a read through.

Although I have covered county, state, city and village elections for The Bay City Times in my previous life, this was my first for a village where there was so much interest.

There were 14 candidates on the ballot for the Village of Northport, challengers for every seat, and two ballot questions. A couple of incumbents were voted out.

In the end, villagers also said they liked the idea of voting for their clerk and treasurer. The majority wanted a voice in the process — isn’t that what Democracy is all about.

Presidential election had Reader's Forum: State is reaping better harvest of hiring its defining moments

By Rob Fowler N. Washington Square, Lansing

By Tim Skubick

to make sure the president did not get many victories. But citizens who do not watch the day to day back and forth in Washington, didn’t much notice that critical point. They just knew their guy did not deliver on the high hopes they had and the Romney camp exploited that theme.

So if the president overcomes that, how did he win?

Women.

Republicans, so driven by their social agenda, drove women back into the Obama camp with all their chatter about rape, and God, and men telling women what to do with their bodies.

Kids.

Candidate Obama first time out won the college kids. However many of them were a tough sell the second time around, and if the president wins, he got them back in the game.

Economy.

When Mr. Romney asked, “Are you better off than you were four years ago?”

Much to his chagrin more persons than he expected said yes. True, Happy Days are not here again, but the president laid claim to the notion that the recovery was moving in the right direction.

Class card.

Rich vs. poor. The Obama folks painted the challenger as more interested in taking care of his rich buddies than you.

End of story.

Likeability At the end of the day voters don’t focus on the issues but their guts and not their brains. Mr. Obama has led there and despite Mr. Romney’s in-roads on this front, at the end of the day you still can’t have a beer with him because he doesn’t drink, which clearly means, in many person’s minds, he really isn’t one of us.

So there you have the reasons why one of these guys won. Now the only question is, which one is it?

Although MichiganJobsInsight. com is not a scientific count of every job filled in the small business community, the ever-rising numbers recorded tell us that smallbusiness owners are responding positively to the revamped business climate.

Within small businesses, hiring requires some level of certainty that sales can support growth.

Uncertainties about the cost of doing business can cause paralysis, and that affects hiring and business startups. Michigan lawmakers have created a decidedly more businessfriendly environment within the past couple of years, one that encourages companies to take risks and grow.

When Gov. Snyder and a progressive group of lawmakers stepped up to the challenge of improving Michigan’s economy, they focused first on clearing away unnecessary obstacles to business growth. Now we’re all reaping a better harvest of hiring in Michigan.

Road Commission makes move to get driveway in

By Patti Brandt Of The Enterprise staff

A Kasson Township business owner has been asked several times to comply with zoning requirements for his business and now the Leelanau County Road Commission is ready to take action.

Jack Deering, owner of Deering Tree Service, located at the corner of South Maple City Road (CR 667) and M-72, has been asked to install curb and gutters around his driveway, as well as pave the driveway, a deed condition that was in place when he bought the property, said Jim Johnson, an engineer with the Road Commission. Deering has told the Road Commission several times that he does not have the money to have the work done, Johnson said.

Deering actually has three driveways at the business, though he is only allowed to have one, Johnson said. The other two need to be dug up, replanted and the ditch re-established, he said.

The issue came up at Tuesday’s regular meeting, when Herb Cradduck, manager reported that Deering told him he would do the work in the spring. At the beginning of the year, Cradduck said he had been told the work would be done by this fall.

Trustee Glen Noonan said he would like the Road Commission to put Deering on notice that he’s

in violation and give him a deadline for getting the work done. If he still doesn’t comply, Noonan would be in favor of the county doing the work and then sending Deering the bill or putting a lien on his property taxes. But he is also in favor of inviting Deering to a meeting to give him the opportunity to discuss the matter.

“I like to see a guy face-to-face,” Noonan said.

Commission chair Lee A. Bowen recommended talking with the county’s attorney before any steps are taken to get some guidelines on what the Road Commission can and cannot do.

“We’ve never had to do anything like this before,” Bowen said.

Johnson said that while state law

gives the road commission the authority to enact policies, it does not outline penalties or fines if someone is not in compliance with those policies. The Road Commission, he said, must get the law involved or take someone to court to enforce its policies.

Whether it’s cherries or another popular Michigan grown product, a bountiful crop needs the right climate, soil and nurturing. Michigan’s home grown jobs are no different.

In order to grow a workforce, employers need a favorable business climate, a simple tax structure and common sense regulation.

As we’ve looked over the job fields of 2012, we’ve been pleased to see a bumper crop — more than 11,400 people hired since January at smaller companies throughout the state. We believe it’s evidence that the tremendous job tools Michigan policymakers put in place since 2011 are producing the desired yield.

Sweeping changes implemented

by Gov. Rick Snyder and the Michigan Legislature — including eliminating the burdensome and unfair Michigan Business Tax, common-sense regulatory reform, and a new emphasis on helping homegrown businesses prosper under an approach known as economic gardening — have dramatically

improved the state’s business climate.

Reassured by the certainty the reforms created, the state’s small businesses have responded by adding people at existing companies and starting new ventures.

The stories are prolific at MichiganJobsInsight.com — a firstof-its-kind website created earlier this year by the Small Business Association of Michigan, Issue Media Group and other partners to track job creation.

The site’s ticker-style jobs tally has steadily increased throughout the year, rolling over to nearly 11,400 by mid-October.

Impressively, the new jobs have come from a wide variety of industries and in every region of the state — including Leelanau County.

For example, former teachers Mark and Mandy Moseler this fall opened Northern Latitudes Distillery in Lake Leelanau. The business will produce a full gamut of products, including whiskey, rye, rum and some specialty liqueurs.

Similar stories are being replicated throughout Northwest Michigan.

It’s dangerous to write history before it unfolds, but there is enough evidence to allow one to wade into the murky waters of why Barack Obama or Mitt Romney won the presidency.

If there is a Romney win, trace it back to the first debate. History may show that was “the” October surprise.

As President Barack Obama dozed, Mitt Romney rose. A more passionate and articulate M.R. showed up giving viewers a more positive glimpse of a guy the Democrats had all but written off for being dispassionate, too rich, unconnected to the electorate and simply “not one of us.”

Before the debate that description of the former Massachusetts governor was sticking like glue. He was stiff Al Gore without the sweater as he bumbled along on the campaign trail making one gaff after another and changing his wardrobe daily in a desperate attempt to be just like us.

Problem was most common folks don’t wear starched and pressed blue jeans.

But in the debate Romney was on his game, and while he never said he felt your pain, you came away thinking this guy was not the in-human dud you thought he was.

Even though the president recovered nicely in debates two and three, the damage was done. Mr. Obama had unintentionally allowed his opponent to get up off the mat. It was game on and potentially game over.

On the President Obama side of the equation his biggest challenge was not of his own doing but it contributed to a Romney win nonetheless.

When he ran the first time, the overly passionate Obama backers felt they were part of a movement that was reconstructing American history. Once and for all, those citizens were closing the door on the “race” chapter.

Electing the first African-American president brought joy and tears to hearts and eyes of those who celebrated the victory in that Chicago park that November night when the nation had spoken. But now that motivation is gone.

Barack Obama’s pledge of “We can” turned into the hopeful notion of “Now we will.” The Obama nation was on a high.

But how’d that turn out?

Many of the cult-like Obama voters watched the next four years unfold, and with each year, the passion waned. To be sure the Republicans did a masterful job of obstructing whenever they could

Von Voigtlander takes over gavel Continued from Page 2 Incumbent clerk Joni L. Scott and treasurer Merilee Scripps won their re-election bids. Scott got 56 percent of the votes and won 224-174 over former clerk Laura Weiss.

Scripps received 67 percent of the vote in beating challenger Sue Wollenweber, 262-130.

The village, which had an apparent record 82.5 percent turnout, had 423 of 513 registered voters go to the polls. Two ballot proposals were rejected.

Going down to defeat were efforts to change village clerk and treasurer positions from elected to appointed by the Village Council. The votes were nearly identical for Proposal 1 and Proposal 2.

Proposal 1, for the clerk’s position, went down, 220-175, and Proposal 2, for treasurer, was rejected 222-174. “I think the vote on the proposals was a reaction to losing the power to vote on the clerk and treasurer,�

Wetherbee said. “In spite of that, I think there are good arguments for appointing.� “I always felt this is a Democracy and we should have the right to vote for a clerk and treasurer,� Steffens said. “And the majority of the people in the village do, too. “It’s a victory.� “I like that it’s an elected position and I think people should have that choice and be involved in the ballgame,� Kehl said.

VonVoigtlander, who had often clashed with Steffens on issues after Steffens won the presidency in 2010, said the vote means it's time to move forward. “I hope it means that we’ve kind of passed the point in Northport where we can accept people who work hard and do things for the village and how long you have lived in the village isn’t the biggest factor,� she said.

Steffens said votes cast for Rogers hurt his chances to win re-election, but he was OK with the final result. “I am disappointed I lost, but not with the overall election,� Steffens said. “We elected two local guys and there should be a conservative majority on the Council now.�

Two new Suttons Bay Village Council trustees will begin fouryear terms on Nov. 20. They are Colleen Christensen and Rose Hollander who each garnered 215 votes, amounting to more than 23 percent of the vote apiece.

Not elected to the Suttons Bay Village Council were challengers Phyllis Foley Wanroy who garnered 104 votes or just over 11 percent of the total, and Robert Tiderington who earned 73 votes or nearly 8 percent of the total.

In the Village of Empire, five candidates sought three trustee seats on the village council. The two incumbents, Sam Barr and Lanny Sterling won re-election. The new face on the Empire Village Council will be Gerry Shiffman.

Barr garnered 184 votes or nearly 28 percent of the total. Sterling won 145 votes or nearly 22 percent of the total. Shiffman received 149 votes or nearly 23 percent of the total.

A husband and wife team running for seats on the Empire Village Council failed in their respective bids. Erik Foged earned 67 votes or just over 10 percent of the total.

Barbara Ayslworth-Foged earned 112 votes or nearly 17 percent of the vote.

Residents of the Village of Suttons Bay and the Village of Empire will see new faces on their respective village councils after Nov. 20 when new members are sworn in.

After serving more than 13 years as president of the Suttons Bay village council and running unopposed in every election until this year, Larry Mawby was unseated by challenger Harry Brandt in a 215-174 vote on Tuesday. “I am not terribly surprised,�

Mawby said yesterday. “We had to make a lot of unpopular decisions during my time as village council president, and I’m not the kind of person inclined to be a politician who’s worried about whether he’ll be re-elected.�

Garnering more than 55 percent of the vote to Mawby’s 44 percent, Brandt said he was pleased with the result and hopes to get more village residents involved in their government. “I hope to see more people coming to village council meetings and even to committee meetings,�

Brandt said. “I haven’t thought through exactly what direction we’ll take yet, but I want to emphasize that we will listen very closely to what the people want and will encourage more public participation in village government.�

Mawby said he may have lost votes because of a variety of factors, notably the high water and sewer fees the village has imposed on residents, a deal the village worked out to loan money to Suttons Bay Public

Schools earlier this year, and plans to extend the Leelanau Trail through the village. “I think that new people on the council will be learning a lot in the months ahead about what you can and cannot legally do with public money and how much in reserve funds we’re required to maintain,�

Mawby said. “I will preside over one more village council meeting but, after that, I won’t be the guy sitting in the audience asking nasty questions, I promise you.�

Brandt said he expected to meet with village staff sometime before he takes office to get a better sense of work that will need to be accomplished in the short term. “I want to see if we can bring together a better feeling in the village about the direction we’re heading and, especially that we’re listening to the people,� Brandt said. “I’m very happy with how the election turned out and I’m looking forward to doing the job.�

In addition to getting a new village council president, the Suttons Bay Village Council will also have two new trustees. There was a sixway race for three trustee seats on the Suttons Bay Village Council.

Suttons Bay village council trustee Robert Johnson lost his re-election bid and longtime trustee Donna Herman opted not to run for reelection. However, incumbent trustee John Bumgardner retained his seat with 196 votes cast in his favor representing more than 21 percent of the total.

Scripps, Little win township supervisor spots; Bahle re-elected

By Patti Brandt Of The Enterprise staff

Doug Scripps and Cal Little have won the top spots in Leelanau and Leland townships, respectively, and in Suttons Bay Township incumbent Rich Bahle will serve another four years as supervisor.

A newcomer to the political scene, Scripps will take over the position of Leelanau Township supervisor, having received 884 votes, or about 57 percent of the total votes cast.

His opponent, Ed Reinsch, received 664 votes. Scripps, 70, replaces Jim Neve, who did not run again.

A retired college professor, musician and conductor, this will be Scripps’ first turn as an elected official.

“I’m honored and happy at the opportunity to serve,” said Scripps, who has lived in Leelanau Township since 1998.

He credits his being elected to the time he spent going door-to-door this past summer.

“The longer I was at it, the more positive the responses I got were,” Scripps said. “The concerns on voters’ minds became very clear to me.

They knew I was serious about this and they took me seriously as a candidate.”

Scripps said Reinsch is a friend and he is glad they both ran positive campaigns.

“I’d like to wish Doug Scripps and the township nothing but the best,” said Reinsch, 61, a cherry farmer and former athletic director who drives a bus for the Leland school district. Reinsch has been on the Leelanau Township Board for four years and on the Planning Commission for about eight years.

He is also a volunteer fireman in the township.

“I gave it my best shot,” Reinsch said. “I did everything I could do and Doug won fair and square.”

Cal Little, a former marketing and advertising executive, won the four-year Leland Township supervisor seat with 808 votes, or about 61 percent of the total votes cast. His opponent, Susan Och, garnered 525 votes.

Little, 75, said he wants all county residents to know that his door will be open for anyone to stop in and say hello.

“The first order of business now is to listen,” said Little, who has lived in the township since 1986.

“Leland Township is a very special place. I want to help preserve that, not as a monument to history but rather as a living, thriving community that as my opponent once said, ‘respects the balance between development and the preservation of natural beauty and character.’”

Och, who has served as trustee on the township board for the last four years, said it was a good experience and one that she wishes more people would get involved in.

“I am grateful for the opportunity to serve on the town board for the last four years,” Och said. “I knew that it would be hard to win this race, but I endeavored to run a good campaign that would raise expectations by promoting good government.”

Och, 55, has lived in Leland Township since 1989.

Little, who is also chair of the Leland Township Fire Board, replaces long-time supervisor Harry Larkin, who opted not to run again.

“I’m tremendously pleased at the turnout and the support,” Bahle said.

“I really wanted to do another four years. I feel I still have something to add.”

Bahle, 60, has been supervisor since 1998, when he was appointed to fill the position. He said there are several projects he would like to see to completion, such as the new township office and the parks project.

Munro, owner of the Korner Kottage Bed & Breakfast in Suttons Bay, offered his congratulations to Bahle on Wednesday morning.

“He’s a quality guy, there’s no doubt about that,” said Munro, 63.

Also serving on the Village Council, the Planning Commission and the Joint Planning Commission, Munro said he and Bahle have similar ideals and ran on similar platforms.

“It wasn’t unexpected,” he said.

“I knew it was going to be a tough climb. He’ll do a good job. He’s been doing a good job.”

QUALITY CARE THAT MAKES YOU SMILE

By Patti Brandt Of The Enterprise staff

Registered voters in Leland Township have said “no” to a controversial zoning ordinance adopted by the township in May — 626 of them, or about 51 percent, to be exact.

The Zoning Ordinance of 2012 was defeated by just 28 votes, with 598 voting “yes.”

Township resident and farmer Bruce Price said he and others worked hard to get the zoning ordinance turned down, a vote that means a 1996 ordinance will remain in effect.

“I think it’s all about property rights,” Price said. “Even if you own a quarter-acre you’re getting less and less you can do with it. I’ve always been for zoning. It’s just getting out of hand.”

Those who backed the new 155page document contend that it is more consistent, as well as more concise and easier to read, with plenty of diagrams and charts.

Those who opposed it said it was too restrictive and that they did not have an opportunity to have input.

After it was adopted some of those in opposition formed a group called VOLT (Voters of Leland Township) and collected 249 petition signatures that put the zoning question before voters.

“It is disappointing that a slight majority of the electorate seemed to follow the ‘smoke and myths’ of the opponents of responsible and reasonable regulations,” said Keith

Ashley, chairperson of the Leland Township Planning Commission.

Whether a recount of votes will be pursued due to the narrow gap between “yes” and “no” voters is not a decision that will be made by the Planning Commission, Ashley said.

Nick Lederle, who had not checked vote totals since last night, when the Leelanau County Website showed the ordinance as passing, was glad to hear it had gone down this morning.

“That’s amazing,” Lederle said.

“I’m very grateful to hear that.

There are lots of things wrong with it.”

Ashley said the bi-partisan Planning Commission worked together in open meetings to fulfill the road map laid out in the township’s master plan. The group has been working on the new ordinance for several years.

“We reduced restrictions includ-

ing those on farm lands, worked to protect our small businesses, particularly our wineries, and safeguard the lakes and Narrows, all of which create so much value and generate tourist dollars,” Ashley said. “The immediate impact of turning this down is six building projects that would take advantage of our new ‘accessory dwelling’ provision will not be able to be built. At a time of low employment in the building trades, this is more than unfortunate.”

Price said he thinks the township needs to go back and readjust the 1980 zoning ordinance and throw out a lot of what is in the 1996 ordinance. He also wants a group of farmers and other township residents who are “unconnected with government to go over the ordinance in a common-sense way.” They should also be sensible people who are not being paid to go to meetings, he said.

Lederle agrees that the 1996 ordinance needs some work.

“Now that this has been defeated we’re going to have to work on rewriting the 1996 ordinance to simplify it,” Lederle said.

Ashley said the Planning Commission will talk about the next steps it will take — if any — at its January meeting.

Also in Leland Township, voters renewed on a vote of 1040-270, or about 79 percent, a one-year 1.3mill property tax to pay for fire service. The tax raises about $503,000 per year for the Leland Township Fire & Rescue Department.

Buoyed in part by a nearly 2 percent margin of victory in Leelanau County, Ray Franz retained his seat in the State House by just over 1,000 votes or about 2 percent in Tuesday’s election.

Leelanau County voters supported Franz with 7,155 votes.

Democratic challenger Allen House O’Shea garnered votes in candidates 6,583 L e e l a n a u skewered County.

Overall, the vote for the by ads 101st District from S t a t e Representative outside seat was 25,195 for Franz and groups 24,165 for O’Shea.

The district includes Leelanau, Benzie, Manistee and Mason counties.

Franz’s margin of victory was around 2 percent in Benzie and Mason counties, but he lost by a 2 percent margin in his home county of Manistee, where O’Shea also lives. “Of course I’m very happy about the outcome overall,� Franz said yesterday. “But we had the same problem in Manistee County this year as we did running against (Dan) Scripps (D-Leelanau County) in previous races. “The problem in Manistee is that most of the voters are in the City of Manistee which is very heavily prounion and pro-Democrat — and that’s why I don’t do as well there.�

The vote in Manistee County was 6,270 in favor of former Manistee County commissioner O’Shea and 5,767 in favor of former Onekama Village Council president Franz.

Franz enjoyed a two-percent margin of victory in Benzie County which voted 4,902 to 4,602 in his favor. The margin was also about two percent in Mason County, which voted 7,371 to 6,713 in

Franz’s favor.

O’Shea said yesterday that he did the best he could, but respects the fact that the people have spoken. “I worked my tail off and did all the right things, but it just didn’t work out,� O’Shea said. “I believe I ran for all the right reasons — to be of service to the people in our district and our state — but I respect the process and am ready to put this behind me.�

O’Shea said he had been trying to get in touch with Franz to congratulate him, but had not been successful by press time. “I will now turn my attention to the solar manufacturing efforts that my sons and I are becoming more involved in, and I think my boys are very relieved that I will have more time to devote to that now that I won’t be in the state legislature,�

O’Shea said.

Reached by cell phone, Franz said he was busy traveling around the district pulling up campaign signs. “What won this election for me was a lot of hard work and a lot of help from folks at the local level going door-to-door on my behalf,�

Franz said.

Franz acknowledged that a number of outside interests and political

action committees spent more money than in past years trying to influence the election — both in his favor and against. “There’s no question that people outside my own campaign and outside Allen O’Shea’s campaign spent a tremendous amount of money — there was material going out against me even before O’Shea won the nomination from his own party,�

Franz said. “But I also got a lot of help from the Small Business Association of Michigan, from chambers of commerce, and from others in business. “In my next term, I will continue to work to make Michigan a more business-friendly place.�

Franz said one of his top priorities over the next two years will be to finalize work on making personal property taxes less of an issue for business owners. “If we can find a way to close some of the (financial) holes for local municipal governments and school districts then we’ll be successful,� Franz said. “I’m looking forward to the challenge.�

County voter turnout slips from national elections in 2004, 2008

David Marshall of Glen Arbor was the first person to cast a ballot at the polls in Tuesday’s General Election.

He was far from the last.

Although statewide turnout figures were not available by presstime yesterday, county clerk Michelle Crocker said she was confident Leelanau’s 73 percent turnout would continue to be among the highest perstateS t a t e w i d e centage wide. t u r n o u t “Seventypercent percentage three is darn good,” said. not available sheStill, it was by presstime lower than the 79 percent recorded in the General Elections of 2008 and 2004.

“I like getting there and participating in the democratic process,” said Marshall, who for the first time in several years didn’t have his name on the ballot for the District 6 county commissioner seat. “Your neighbors are there and it’s a good time to see them and say ‘hello’.”

His home township, with 79.5 percent of registered voters participating, continued its traditional role of pacesetter for the rest of the county. Seven hundred, seven of the township’s 889 voters cast AV (absentee voter) ballots or showed up at the polls. That would be outstanding if

it weren’t Glen Arbor Township. Four years ago, turnout was 84 percent and contributed to a 77 percent countywide turnout. However, this election cycle, another governmental unit lead the county in terms of overall participation.

Voters in the Village of Northport, where there was a three-way race for village president and six candidates for three trustee seats, had an 82 percent turnout. There were also two ballot proposals on the ballot.

“I think the increased interest in local elections corresponds equally with interest in politics nationwide,” said Steve Wetherbee, who was the top voter getter in the Northport Village Council trustee race. “This year everybody is talking politics for some reason.”

Strong turnout in the village translated into the second-highest participation in the county in Leelanau Township at 78.1 percent, about the same rate as 2008, however, there were move decisions to be made on the 2012 ballot.

Township voters on the tip of the peninsula decided the fate of a race for supervisor, trustee and county commissioner representing Leelanau and the northern portion of Suttons Bay Township.

Bingham Township’s ballot had no real races yet more than three-quarters (76 percent) participated in the democrratic process this week.

Empire Township’s participation was

75.5 percent, down from 78 percent in 2008 and 80 percent in 2004.

There voters determined the winners of a five-way race for three seats on the Village Council and a battle for the District 6 county commissioner seat, which covers Empire, Cleveland and Glen Arbor Townships.

In Elmwood Township voter participation fell from 79 percent four years ago to 74.5 percent this year. A five-way race for four seats on the Charter Township board was up for grabs. In addition, much if not all of the township, lies within the Traverse City Area Public School District which placed a $100 million, 10-year bond issue before the electorate.

Turnout in Leland, Cleveland and Solon Township was respectable at 73.5, 72.8 and 72.7, respectively. However, participation was down from 1 to 7 percentage points in these polling places from the same time in 2008.

The biggest drop off in participation from one General Election to the next was in Centerville and Suttons Bay townships.

Centerville’s 68.5 percent participation rate was down from 76 in ‘08.

Turnout in Suttons Bay Township was in the bottom of the county at 67 percent, down from 74 percent four years ago.

Voters turned out in full force Tuesday to defeat a $100 million bond request for the Traverse City Area Public Schools (TCAPS) and elect more than a dozen trustees to local school boards.

The 10-year, $100 million bond proposal requested from the largest public school district in northern Michigan, was defeated by a 58-41 percent margin.

The district’s Board of Education had asked voters to increase the current 3.1mill bond levy by up to 0.8 mills for 10 years.

Most of the money would have paid to remodel and rebuild several schools, upgrade techand Most board nology construct an of education $18 million performing seats were arts auditoriat Central uncontested um High School.

Incumbent TCAPS trustee Gary Appel doubled up on challenger Thomas Grigal 17,7678,205 garnering 67.82 percent of the ballots cast.

The Traverse City school district includes portions of Solon and Bingham townships as well as Elmwood Township in its entirety.

Voters in the Suttons Bay School district re-elected two incumbents to fouryear terms and a new trustee via a writein campaign.

Cindy Opie and David Buffum were the top two vote-getters in a three-way race for two seats. Opie garnered 38 percent of the vote with 1,674 ballots cast in her favor. Buffum had 1,575 votes or 36 percent. Bryan Linck, husband of Suttons Bay teacher Amy Linck, came in a distant third with 1,064 votes or 25 percent of the ballots cast.

“The result is a bit disappointing,” Linck said in an email statement Tuesday night. “This was a great opportunity for the community to appoint someone to the school board with an education degree which the board is currently lacking.

“My only hope is that all the board members will govern the district through sound educational practices, keeping kids at the center of all decisions.”

Former Tribal Chairman Derek Bailey, a write-in candidate for two years

remaining in the unexpired term of John Zachman, appears to have garnered 271 votes. However, the exact tally was not expected to be available until after canvassing yesterday. Bailey had been a Congressional and state House candidate this election season, running as a Democrat.

Longtime board member Buffum was pleased to be retaining his seat.

“I am honored and humbled that the voters of Suttons Bay chose me to help guide their school and the education of their children. It will be a challenge with the impending federal cuts but with the talent of … the rest of the board, the staff and the community, we will continue to improve Suttons Bay Schools and to add options for the students,” Buffum said.

There were no races — just two tax proposals— on the ballot for voters in the Leland School District.

Voters approved by a 2:1 margin a request for a 10.9013-mill levy on nonhomestead and non-qualified agricultural properties.

The millage, approved Tuesday 1,385-664, has been renewed annual by voters since the passsage of Proposal A. The proposal has to be approved in order for the school to receive its per pupil foundation allowance from the state of Michigan.

The levy is expected to generate $3,273,000.

Voters also approved a 3-year request for .30 mills for the district’s “sinking fund” but by a smaller margin, 1,208826. It will generate an estimated $150,000 when collected in 2013 and can be used for upkeep and maintenance at the school.

Re-elected in an uncontested race for board trustee were incumbents Bill Robinson, Ross Satterwhite and Janine Fierberg. The trio captured 1,137, 1,127 and 1,124 respectively.

In the Glen Lake School District Ross Hazelton and Laura Aylsworth-Bonzelet were elected to four-year terms. Hazelton was the top vote-getter in the election with 2,086 votes. Aylsworth-Bonzelet, 2,017.

Neither was there a race in the Northport School district where three incumbents were elected.

Board president Tom Wetherbee was the top candidate with 1,061 votes.

Kristin Frank had 995 and Lynelle Wilcox-Irvine, 933.

Leland five made presence known on elite team

By Mike Spencer Of The Enterprise staff

Joe Burda completed a dream season last week as the Leland boys soccer team coach.

The most memorable coaching experience was aided by five players — Dylan Jolliffe, Luke Nesbitt, Matt Fleis, Austin Fellows and Tony Mosqueda — who have been chosen to the Enterprise second annual boys soccer 11-member Dream Team.

“It’s a privilege to coach players like these five,” Burda said in the aftermath of a school-record 25-4 season. “Leadership and determination are the biggest attributes they brought.

“They pushed everybody and made everybody better and made us play team soccer. And they brought a fanastic work ethic every day.”

Jolliffe, a forward who finished with a school-record 65 goals, was complemented offensively by forward Luke Nesbitt (20 goals, 18 assists) and midfielder Matt Fleis (22 goals, team-best 30 assists). All three seniors combined for 107 goals and 66 assists. The team finished with 142 goals.

“I thought we’d score a lot because Dylan had been increasing his scoring each year and we knew he was going to get his, but I’ve seen anything like this,” Burda said. “It was fun to watch.”

Fellows, a junior, and Mosqueda, a freshman, anchored a defense that was impenetrable at times.

Northport had three seniors picked to the Dream Team. They are strikers Bill Stowe and Alex Thelander and midfielder Armando Hernandez. Glen Lake had forward Jake Lewis and midfielder Anders Johnson, both seniors, named to the team and Suttons Bay had junior keeper Aaron Orban on the elite squad.

The Dream Team, which was nominated by coaches and chosen by Enterprise sports staff with help from the Grand Traverse Area Soccer Officials Association, includes five repeaters — Jolliffe, Fellows, Hernandez, Orban and Stowe.

Leland’s boys soccer season ends in Division 4 semis

By Mike Spencer Of The Enterprise staff

The shots were even, the mistakes were just two in Leland’s Division 4 boys soccer state semifinal match with Grand Rapids Covenant Christian last week.

But the breakdowns defensively ended Leland’s most successful boys season. The 25-4 Comets lost 2-0 on Oct. 31 at Big Rapids.

“We had talked about minimizing

our mistakes before the game,” Leland coach Joe Burda said after his boys’ bid to be the first in the state soccer finals came up short. “We had two and they converted on both.

“The first goal gave them a momentum swing leading into halftime and the second was kind of a punch in the gut. If we could have converted one or two of our opportunities, their goals would not have been as devastating.”

“I was very pleased with making it to the semis,” said senior co-captain

Matt Fleis, noting the last time was in 1982. “We made a good run.

“We should have been in the championship match. We just didn’t finish.

We had perfect chances. I had one that I should have finished.”

The Comets held Covenant scoreless for much of the first half. But in the 32nd minute, Jordan VanOostenbrugge rocketed a free kick from about 25 yards out past a Leland wall of defenders and a near helpless keeper Mike Farese.

“We held them off for about 35 minutes,” said Austin Fellows, Leland’s junior sweeper. “But their No. 10 is a really good player.

“He just stepped up and drilled a free kick right through the wall.”

The one blast gave Covenant some much needed confidence and deflated the Comets.

“The kid drilled it under the crossbar,” Burda said. “It went over Mike’s hands, but he was screened and never saw it coming.”

“I don’t blame our defender for the foul and the direct kick (that resulted),” Fleis said. “It was a good challenge.

“We shouldn’t have let our heads get down.”

Covenant, which went on to lose the state championship match, got an insurance marker early in the second half from striker Corbin Prince.

“We let a punt drop in deep on our (Concluded on Page 16)

CHAMPS AGAIN

By Mike Spencer Of The Enterprise staff

There’s no drama with the Leland girls volleyball team, just plenty of excitement.

The 42-10-4 Comets quickly and quietly ended Traverse City Christian’s Class D district championship hopes on Friday, winning in three straight games 25-15, 25-22 and 25-13 at Suttons Bay’s gymnasium.

“What I like about this team is there is no drama,” Leland coach Laurie Glass said after the Northwest Conference co-champs picked up a second consecutive district trophy.

“I’ve not had a team get along from top to bottom as this team.

“Their biggest enemy is themselves.

They lose confidence or play with a little bit of fear at times, but they’ve overcome a lot.”

The Sabres, who had lost to the Comets three previous times this season, fell behind 6-1 in the first game and watched helplessly as the advantage quickly grew to 15-4.

But in game two, the Sabres were equal to the challenge. They got a lead, twice extending it to three points (7-4 and 9-6). The Comets went on a 7-2 run to gain an advantage, but the Sabres continued serving well and putting the defending champs on the defensive.

“Our whole game plan was to try and play a game with them (Leland) where we kept it within two points so they couldn’t serve as hard as they usually serve because they couldn’t afford to miss one,” TC Christian coach Russ Hansen said. “And they couldn’t hit it as hard as they normally do on offense for the same reason.

“You have to play error-free and hope they make a few mistakes. And we did play error free. We dug a few balls up and that was one of the biggest things.”

Christian picked up several points when the Comets watched the ball hit the floor, thinking it might be out.

“We just got tentative and let the lines dictate in or out and we didn’t go for all the balls that were hit close,” Glass said. “We lost our flow of the

“But give Christian some credit.

They kept the pressure up on their serves.”

The Sabres went up 19-17 after an ace by Aubrey Heersema completed a 4-0 run. Glass called a time out and the Comets battled back twice to tie the game at 19s and 22s.

Leland went up 23-22 on a block by Noa Yaakoby. A miss hit evened the score, however, Leland got the next two points to claim the second game.

In the third game, the Sabres pleaded no contest. Senior Andrea Hunt served up the first six points and Leland began preparations for the award ceremony.

“We kind of just lost it in the second game,” said senior Annalise Robinson, a defensive/serving specialist. “It was

MORE INSIDE Leland girls win regional semifinal, Page 15 just lack of focus on the little details.

“But in the third game, it was decided as a team that we needed to finish this.”

Robinson, who played on last year’s district title team, was glad to repeat.

“This feels really great,” she said.

“We worked really hard in practice just for these games because we know every game could be our last and we want to go as far as we can.”

“To win another district is really exciting,” said Hunt, who had an all-

around strong match with nine digs, seven kills, three blocks and two aces.

“We’re going to regionals.

“We’re going to win it and I hope we go all the way. I know we can do it.”

Senior Brooke Olesnavage, who had 13 digs, 10 kills and a half dozen aces, really made her presence felt in the final game. Senior Sammie Sterkenburg added 15 assists, seven digs and five kills Senior libero Maggie Osorio had 11 digs and an ace. Junior setter Caitlin McKee had a team-best 15 assists.

Although the Sabres didn’t give up the fight, Hansen said the third game was a mismatch.

“Leland has so much firepower and they came out in the third game knowing they had a two-game lead and they started whaling on it ... they had no

regrets,” Hansen said. “And Brooke was hitting it so hard that there was no way we could stop some of that stuff.”

“The girls got their poise back and didn’t let that second game dictate the rest of the match,” Glass said. “All of a sudden we were passing balls that we should be passing instead of letting them hit.”

While Glass was pleased to win a second straight district, she’s not looking beyond the first regional match.

“It’s one step at a time,” she said.

“We have been talking all year long about preparing for this run and working hard to get where we want to go.

“We’re thinking about the first regional match. If we win, we’ll worry about the finals when we get there.”

Glen Lake finishes 9-2 season with tough loss

By Amy Hubbell Of The Enterprise staff

SHELBY QUARTERBACK Spencer Peters is hurried attempting to pass Friday by Glen Lake senior Matt Omerza (77).

The 9-2 Glen Lake football team went further in the post season than any of its predecessors in more than a decade.

But that’s little consolation for the Lakers who fell to Shelby in the Division 6 district final Friday 26-0.

“I’ve told them the only team that can beat you is you and that’s what happened,” coach Jerry Angers said after five turnovers led to Glen Lake’s demise. “We made some mistakes at critical times that cost us.

“You have to protect the rock to win games.”

Glen Lake, which also had a similar

tournament run in 2001, had two fumbles and three interceptions in the loss which was scoreless until the first play of the second quarter.

Then Tiger quarterback Spencer Peters connected with Brody Lee for a 15-yard touchdown to put Shelby up 6-0.

The Lakers moved to midfield when quarterback Carter Lee attempted a shuffle pass which was picked up by Shelby’s Austin Porter who ran it in from 39 yards out for another quick six.

After a four and out series, Shelby scored again to take a 19-0 lead at the half. Peters found Nathan Lentz for a 2-yard TD pass to finish an 11-play, (Concluded on Page 12)

opportunity to be 9-0 in four short years,” Angers said. “That’s the best thing about these guys, who were freshman four years ago and now have raised the platform.”

There is a nucleus of several juniors on which Angers will be able to build with next year. These include Lee, Waning, Apsey, Wiltjer, Elliott Bregni, Austin Sudemann, Ryan Boothby, Matt Grumley, Nick Butts, Ed Maxbauer, Wade Peplinski and Logan LaCross.

In addition to posting the best team regular season record in more than a decade at 8-1 and was undefeated in the Northwest Conference.

“Part of my work in developing the program has been to be able to ‘retool’ rather than start from scratch,” Angers said. “I don’t know where we’ll be in week No. 10, 11 or 12, but we should be able to compete for the league (title) and earn a spot in the playoffs.”

Muskegon.

O’Brien led the Laker defense with 12 stops. Thomas Waning and Travis Wiltjer each had eight.

The loss marked the final gridiron game for 10 seniors. They are Czapek, Mike Aylsworth, Bunek, Kurt Kalis, Pleva, O’Brien, Matt Omerza, Pete Kerby-Miller and Nick Schweikart.

“If the group coming up works half as hard as these guys did, we’ll be great,” Angers said.

A strong work ethic and leadership abilities are what set the team’s seniors apart.

“From top to bottom, everyone showed some type of leadership ability,” Angers said. “On any given Friday I could tap one of these guys as captain without hesitation.”

It was also rewarding for Angers to see several of the guys who played on the varsity team as freshman have a successful senior campaign.

“It was a great year for the kids ... going as far as we did and having an

Neither team scored in the third quarter. Shelby got an insurance marker as Peters and Lee hooked up again for a 19-yard score with 2:25 to play.

Shelby finished with 214 net yards to the Lakers’ 240.

Glen Lake may have lost the battle in the first series of the game. They moved the ball deep into Shelby territory only to fumble it away.

“If we finish any one of our drives, and especially that first one, it’s a different ballgame,” Angers said. “But we didn’t finish.”

Lee threw 28 times for 159 yards, with Waning hauling in 62 yards receiving, Curtis Bunek 41 and O’Brien 36. Dale Pleva ran for 41 yards and Anthony Czapek 31 as the team played without leading rusher Trevor Apsey, who broke his leg in the season finale against North

“I think any recognition is a great thing for these guys, they work hard for it and deserve it,” Burda said. “It means a lot for them to receive accolades from other coaches and the local paper.

“It proves to them they are being appreciated by more than just the hometown crowd.”

Although Burda nearly had a Dream Team in his Comets this fall, he wouldn’t mind having to coach this year’s Dream Team.

“It obviously would be a privilege to coach a team like that,” Burda said. “You would know the skill sets would be there and could concentrate on the camaraderie and cohesion between the players.”

The Wildcats lost the next two games, 25-17 and 25-19. But in the third game, Northport had four point leads three times, the last occasion at 10-6 after a kill by Nicole Falkiewicz, who had 13 in the match. However, the Sabres ran off 10 unanswered points and never looked back. “I think the energy started dying down in that third game,� Wodek said. “They still fought for it, but our serves kind of lost their strength, too. “And toward the end, our defense started forgetting how we needed to be placed — our stance and everything.�

Despite a second straight non-winning season for Wodek, she believes the Wildcats will continue to build a program. “We’re still building,� she said. “We’re so young ... but we’ll have nine or 10 seniors next year and we’ll be just as strong. “We’ll be strong next year if we work on a few things in the offseason.�

Senior Dylan Burguard had 23 digs, eight kills and two aces and blocks. Sam Mork had 13 kids, 16 digs and two blocks. Rachel Thon added 15 digs and 11 kills. Megan Popp had 25 assists and 21 digs.

Ashley Pino had 16 digs and two aces and blocks. Autumn Huck aded 16 digs and nine kills.

Suttons Bay and Northport had their volleyball seasons end last week in the Class D district semifinals.

The Norse fell to eventual champ Leland, 3-0. “I was proud of the way my girls played in the second set against Leland,� said Suttons Bay coach Laurie LaCross after the Norse fell 25-9, 25-22, 25-11. “Leland is a strong, well rounded team. They should go far into post season play.�

The Wildcats lost 3-1 to Traverse City Christian. “It was a strong ending to our season, they fought for every single point,� said Northport coach Elizabeth Wodek after the Wildcats finished the year with a 10-24 record.

Suttons Bay was led by Chantal Konopka with 15 digs. Delaney Kaufman had three blocked shots.

Larissa Hunter had five kills. “We had some blocks on key hitters and many touches to slow the ball down for easier defensive plays,�

LaCross said. “But our serves have been inconsistent and that hurt.�

Leland was led by Brooke Olesnavage with 15 kills and five digs. Sammie Sterkenburg had 11 assists and three aces. Andrea Hunt had five kills, four digs and three blocks. Maggie Osorio had 19 digs and four aces. Caitlin McKee had a dozen assists and three aces.

The Norse will graduate five seniors — Konopka, Hunter, Kailey Capron, Kayla Bamberg and Angela Hernandez. “It is always tough losing seniors,�

LaCross said. “I will miss their leadership and certainly losing an outside hitter (Capron) and middle (Hunter) and libero (Konopka) are big spots to fill.�

Leland in regional finals after turning away pesky Bellaire, 3-1 The Leland Comets didn’t have their best night in the Class D regional girls volleyball semifinals Tuesday with Bellaire.

But the defending regional champs are still moving onto the finals at Bear Lake High School. The 43-10-4 Comets will meet Brethren in the championship match tonight at 7 p.m.

The Comets beat Bellaire 3-1, winning 25-14, 24-26, 25-22 and 25-22 in the regional semis.

“It was by the hair on my chinny, chin, chin,” Leland coach Laurie Glass said. “But at this point, everybody is going to bring their ‘A’ game and it’s nice to know that we can win

even if it’s not our best effort.”

The Northwest Conference cochamps had its hands full with a Bellaire team that finished sixth overall in the Ski Valley Conference.

“They were very good at varying their constency,” Glass said. “And we just didn’t adjust well.

“Instead of hitting aggressively, they were launching balls over the blocks where we weren’t.”

The Eagles, who battled back from a first game loss to take the second, trailed Leland in the final two games.

But both times, they were able to tie things up at 22s.

“We made a couple of adjustments

and picked up some balls that we had not been picking up,” said Glass, who noted the service of junior Caitlin McKee also ignited the Comets.

“Caitlin served pretty well.

“But it was a battle to the end. We had to scramble.”

Leland was led by Brooke Olesnavage with 24 kills, 17 digs and three aces. McKee had 28 assists and a team-best five aces.

Andrea Hunt had 14 digs, eight kills and a team-best three blocks.

Maggie had 16 digs and Noa Yaakoby had nine kills and three aces.

GLEN LAKE’S Kaitlin Grigg, from left, McKenna Turrill and Suttons Bay’s Dani Merwin pose after finishing the cross country Division 4 State Finals Saturday at the Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn.

Grigg, Merwin run off with All-State honors

By Patti Brandt Of The Enterprise staff

Two Leelanau County runners earned All-State honors at the cross country Division 4 State Finals held Saturday at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn.

Kaitlyn Grigg of Glen Lake finished 22nd overall with a time of 20 minutes and 2 seconds, and Dani Merwin of Suttons Bay finished 26th with a time of 20:07. The top 30 earn All-State honors.

“I’m really proud of them, to have had the honor of bringing them down to the finals,” said Glen Lake coach Ryan Schut of Grigg and McKenna Turrell, who also ran in Saturday’s finals and finished 78th with a time of 21:08.

“They both did a great job of representing our county. Integrity and sportsmanship were at a high level.”

Grigg, who was the top county finisher, was pleased with her performance.

“I feel pretty good about it,” Grigg said. “I worked real hard all year and really pushed myself and I had a really good finish.”

In all, 240 girls and 245 boys competed in the finals event, with six area runners qualifying last week at the regionals.

“What an honor for a freshman,” Suttons Bay coach Mark Smith said of Merwin’s efforts. “Suttons Bay has had two four-time All-State runners, and Dani took care of business to set the stage for number three.”

Smith said Merwin went out fairly fast and hoped to stay with Grigg when Grigg passed her.

“One mile into the race, Dani found out that Kaitlyn was in 24th, Dani was

in 49th place,” Smith said. “Dani got by eight girls in the next mile to move into 41st place but was still 17 places behind her friend from Glen Lake.

“Dani ran harder than she ever has before to pass 15 runners and move up to 26th.”

Also competing were Suttons Bay’s Alex Kraft, who finished 59th (17:17), Teammate Ken Pease finished 215th (19:45) and St. Mary’s Drew Pobuda was 110th (17:51).

“The temperature at the time of the race was just 31 degrees, which was different because we were blessed with way above freezing temperatures all year,” St. Mary coach Michael Bean said. “The race plan for Drew was to

SPORTS BRIEFS G-L golfers earn academic award The Glen Lake girl’s golf team has been named Academic All-State.

Members of the team are Breanna Flores, Skylar Gleason, Madison Hill, Melanie Kulanda and Nicole Pace. The team is coached by Paul Christiansen.

The Academic All-State team is named by the Michigan Interscholastic Golf Coaches Association and is determined by taking the GPA of the five team members who represented the school in the regionals. The average must be a minimum of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale.

battle and have no regrets when he crossed the finish line, both of which were accomplished.

“It’s a big stage to compete at this level, and now that Drew has had a taste, it has made him thirsty for next year’s season. Hopefully he can bring some fellow teammates with him to go along for the ride and compete.”

Smith said it was great finish to the season, to have three runners reach the championships.

“For Ken, there was nothing more that he could do,” Smith said. “After dislocating his elbow and missing seven weeks of football and cross country, he had three races before trying to qualify for this meet.

“What an honor. He enjoyed adding cross to his love of football and was a big plus for our team.”

Pease started fast, but faded back, Smith said.

Kraft, meanwhile, finished off a great four-year career, Smith said.

“With a grade point average of 3.78, Alex will be very close to making Academic All-State,” Smith said. “His time was just short of his 17:13.95 best-ever race last week.”

Academic All-State athletes are the top 30 runners with a GPA of 3.5 or better.

Schut said he was really happy with his runners’ efforts.

“They both improved from last year,” Schut said. “It was a great experience for these young girls again, for sophomores to be at the highest level you can reach again.

“For me it’s great to be around all these top athletes and see Glen Lake jerseys out there and be a part of it. It makes you proud to be a Laker.”

Leland’s boys soccer season ends his career.

Other seniors include Fleis, Luke Nesbitt, Ian Duvall and Will Gauthier. “These seniors will be missed and this team as a collective will be missed,� Burda said. “I know we impressed a lot of people in the community and in the area. “We played high intensity, fast soccer and it was a lot of fun to watch. We will be a different team next season, but I think we can achieve some of the same success.�

Although Jolliffe was disappointed that he hadn’t scored a goal since the district finals, he was pleased with the team’s final destination. “I never expected us to go this far,�

Jolliffe admitted. “But as the year went on, I felt we could be a contender. “This was not the most talented team ever, we just played as a team and the underclassmen wanted to do well, too.� “For the past couple of years, we had high expectations,� Fellows said. “But this is the best year we’ve had. “We had great chemistry and we knew where each other was on the field. If I made a mistake defensively, it was great to be surrounded by three other defenders that I could trust.�

Burda said he was glad to see the team have so much success this season. “I think the kids thought that last year was going to be our year,� Burda said. “But we didn’t have the leadership that we did this year. “These guys are leaders and they found some guys to follow them.�

Burda said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we could catch VanOostenbrugge out of position, we ran into their stopper. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We made him look real good. The few times we played wide, we were effective and generated opportunities.â&#x20AC;?

The loss was the first against a Division 4 school this season and just the third shutout of the year. The Comets were blanked twice this season

by Northwest Conference champion Traverse City Christian, the last time was 4-0 on Sept. 27. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We lost to a good team, but we lost to a team that I know we could have beaten and that stings a bit,â&#x20AC;? Burda admitted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But it was an incredible ride to get this far. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen often for a school like Leland and I know my guys are proud.â&#x20AC;?

Even in defeat, Burda was pleased with his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was still a great game and our effort was there,â&#x20AC;? Burda said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would never fault the boys for a lack of effort. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play as disciplined as we normally do.â&#x20AC;?

The Comets will lose five seniors, all starters, including the most productive player in the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history. Dylan Jolliffe scored a school-best 65 goals this season and finished with 145 for

Continued from Page 11 defense,â&#x20AC;? Burda said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Corbin collected it and dribbled through several of our players. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He got in to about the six-yard line and placed it near post away from Mike.â&#x20AC;?

Although the Comets came back from a 2-0 deficit in the first half to win the regional opener against North Musekgon, Covenantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead proved insurmountable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We came back against North Muskegon, but we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played from behind much this season,â&#x20AC;? Fellows said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a lot of opportunities (to catch up), we just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put one away.â&#x20AC;?

Burda agreed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had possession of the ball most of the game,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a few chances in front of the net, but failed to convert them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were playing with too much urgency and were forcing too many chances.â&#x20AC;?

Lelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game plan was to avoid VanOostenbrugge in the middle of the field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew we could beat their backs and get in deep with our speed, but over and over again we punched it in through the middle and lost the ball,â&#x20AC;?

A Leelanau mariner witnessed firsthand the wrath of Hurricane Sandy while aboard a ship in Port Newark, N.J. Josh Holton, a 2003 Northport graduate, is a third mate on a nearly 300-foot hopper dredger owned by Weeks Marine of New Jersey. The ship and crew were waiting to start a project in Cape May, N.J. last week when they got word of the forecasted arrival of the storm. They tied up in Port Newark, took refuge in a container terminal and watched as Sandy came ashore.

“It was nothing like I’ve ever seen before,” said Holton, a 2010 graduate of the Great Lakes Maritime Academy at Northwestern Michigan College. “The rain was sparse. It was actually the wind and the storm surge that did the damage.”

Holton said at mid-day Oct. 30 the winds began to pick up and climbed as high as 93 knots (more than 100 mph) at it’s highest point, which was about 9 p.m.

“A big blast came through and just about knocked us over,” he said.

Holton, who has worked two years for Weeks Marine, observed the water surge grow to nine feet during the course of the storm which spanned an 18-hour period.

“That’s five to six feet above the dock,” he explained.

The historical storm surge tossed freight containers like toy blocks. It also picked up huge ships and deposited them on top of docks and further inland.

The ferocity of the storm came into focus when Holton spoke with more seasoned sailors.

“Our captain is from New York and has lived on the East Coast his entire life,” Holton said. “He’s seen a lot of poor conditions and when he says it was bad ... that’s a reality check.”

Although Holton’s ship was an estimated 100 miles from the “eye” of Sandy, he’s witnessed a complete shut down of the port system.

“There’s nothing coming in or going

out,” he said. “Some things are completely ruined. Things are at a standstill.”

Holton was hopeful Tuesday afternoon that the nor’easter storm forecasted for the East Coast would hold off long enough for him to catch a flight back to Traverse City and his family which includes parents Chris and Leesa Holton; paternal grandparents Susie and Darwin Holton and maternal grandparents Sharon and Norv Hall — all of Northport.

He expects to be returning to his ship in coming weeks as the Army Corps of Engineers distributes “emergency” work orders to repair beachheads and restore beachfront.

While Holton was in an area somewhat unknown to him, Camille Frixen, a native of Hoboken, N.J. could only watch Sandy’s arrival on the television and wonder how it affected her family.

It was three days after the storm before she heard from her father, Joseph DePalma, 78. His home is four blocks south of the Hudson River.

“He was very fortunate. There were just two homes on his block that didn’t flood and his was one of them,” Frixen said.

Massive power outages continued this week as crews worked at making impassable streets passable and the American Red Cross distributed MREs (Meals Ready to Eat).

“Dad’s never seen anything like this before,” said Frixen, who plans to follow through with plans for a Thanksgiving trip to New Jersey.

“People are pulling together. Good things can come from adversity.”

THE LEELANAU ENTERPRISE

Section 1, Page 19

New name added to Veterans Memorial Continued from Page 1 was completed shortly after the Vietnam War ended. The tablet originally was placed on the lawn at the former county courthouse in Leland. It was placed in storage while the county seat was moved and the new Veterans Memorial built.

“We just took care of it because it needed to be done,” Janik said. He said the extra cost was minimal — just $100 — as an engraver was already on site adding the names of veterans who did not died in war to other marble walls at the memorial.

The total cost to build the memorial comes to more than $200,000, according to Georgia Robertson, administrative assistant to the County Administrator. She’s been keeping track of requests to add the names of veterans to the wall, and collecting $25 for each name to help offset the expense.

“It cost us more than that. But the (Veteran’s Memorial) committee wanted to keep it affordable for all citizens,” she said.

The names of 302 war survivors — not including those who made the supreme sacrifice — are now etched on

the walls, including 38 that were recently added. The number of war casualties stood at 110 until Thomas Yagle’s name was added.

Janik said veterans’ names were darkened with lithochrome stain after county officials heard numerous complaints that they were too light and difficult to read.

“I’ve had several calls from people who were very pleased with that,” Janik said.

The memorial includes plenty of space for more names. Robertson may be reached at 256-9711 for further information on the process. Also, the county has been selling memorial bricks to help raise funds.

Visitors will also notice the addition of a rock donated by commissioner Richard Schmuckal along with a new plaque acknowledging some spelling mistakes among the names of veterans who died in combat. For instance, Thomas Yagle’s brother also died while in the service during the Vietnam era.

His name is Roger, which was spelled as “Rodger” on the wall. Janik said changing the name would have detracted from its appearance.

TOM YAGLE took his basic training in California, where this picture was taken. He also met his wife and married there before shipping off to Vietnam.

Dems overjoyed; President prevails

THE NAME of Thomas Yagle will be remembered with the names of other servicemen from Leelanau County killed in war.

County Board seats Continued from Page 1 It was the first run for public office for Rentenbach, a retired restaurant owner.

“I’m honored the voters have shown confidence in me and I’ll do everything I can to keep their trust,” she said.

It took a long time to elect a majority of females to the county commission, according to Rentenbach.

“It’s the way of the future. I think in general the media has felt that women are not being treated fairly,” she said. “(Women) are gaining more respect.”

Board chairman Tom VanPelt retained his seat in a hard-fought election with former District 4 commissioner Mary P. Tonneberger of Omena.

Tonneberger, who ran without party affiliation, fell by a 55/45 margin.

“I under estimated the 300 people in the district who vote straight ticket,” she said, congratulating VanPelt. “I’ll continue to participate in an appointed capacity on the board of health and Commission on Aging.”

VanPelt thought residents who voted straight Republican made a difference for him. But he also enjoyed some cross-over support.

“Some of my dyed-in-the-wool Democrat friends said the only Republican they’d vote for was me,” he said.

The other race for county commissioner decided Tuesday was to replace District 5 commissioner David (Chauncey) Shifflett. It came down to the wire before Republican Karen Zemaitis of Leland could claim victory.

Zemaitis was with a group of

Republicans gathered at Dick’s Pour House in Lake Leelanau Tuesday night.

She left the gathering thinking she had lost her bid to Democrat Patricia Soutas-Little. “ I came home thinking that I lost and then I got a call from the county clerk’s office,” Zemaitis said.

Election results on the county website showed that Soutas-Little had won the election by a dozen votes. However, a computer glich would not allow the clerk’s office to download the “live” vote, forcing election workers to count them by hand.

In the end it was Zemaitis who prevailed by the slimmest of margins 50.25 to 49.75 percent. Just 13 votes separated the candidates. Zemaitis finished with 1,010, and Soutas-Little with 997.

“The results on the website included only two of the three precincts,” county Clerk Michelle Crocker said. “As soon as we realized this, we called both candidates to let them know.”

Joining Lautner, Zemaitis, Rentenbach and VanPelt on the board will be District 3 commissioner Will Bunek and two more women: District 1 commissioner Jean I. Watkoski and District 2 commissioner Debra Rushton, who were not opposed in the election.

“All in all, I think we’re in pretty good hands going forward,” Zemaitis said. “I think having a mix of more women on the board will be very good.

“We’ll do just fine together, “ she said.

The new Board of Commissioners takes office Jan. 1.

Continued from Page 1 became only the second Democrat in history to win the hearts of Leelanau County voters. The fete had not been pulled off since Pres. Lyndon Johnson swept to power in 1964 with a landslide victory over Barry Goldwater.

Even Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt, who won a record 46 out of 48 states in the union in 1936, did not take Leelanau County.

Republicans retained their tight grip on Lansing, although their advantage in the state House dwindled five seats to 59-51. Gov. Rick Snyder has two more years remaining on his term, as does Republican Sen. Darwin Booher, who represents Leelanau County.

Republicans also retained control of the state Senate, and the state Supreme Court.

And Leelanau County voters supported the retention of one-term Cong.

Dr. Dan Benishek, a Republican from

NORTHPORT CHEERS

Iron River, by a 6,847-6,511 margin.

The race was close across the sprawling First Congressional District, which also represents all of the Upper Peninsula. Benishek withstood a strong campaign by “Yooper” Gary McDowell, whose ads touted him as a common-sense hay farmer.

About 25 Republican party members watched results come in at Dick’s, including Leelanau County chair Eric Lind.

“I thought Romney was going to win handily,” he said prior to Ohio falling into Obama’s column, sealing the election. “But we’ll see. After Obama’s performance for the last four years, I don’t see how he could win re-election.”

Back on the other side of the Peninsula, Scripps balanced Democrats’ success on the national scale with returns from Leelanau.

“We’re still a Republican County,

you know,” he said.

Scripps said Democrats learned their lesson from 2010, when Republicans stormed into control of the U.S. House of Representatives and improved their standings in the Senate.

“They weren’t excited about the last one, in 1010, and that turned out to be a tsunami nationally and locally — mainly because Democrats didn’t show up,” said Scripps.

Scripps was also wading into politics, running for supervisor of Leelanau Township. He won handily, which led him to question the need for Republican and Democrat tickets in local elections.

“Locally, in my township race, I’m getting the feeling most people don’t look at this as a partisan race. I’ve always thought this should be nonpartisan, and so do most people.

Everyone knows everyone; you don’t need a party label,” he said.

NORTHPORT STUDENTS and supporters dressed up for the occasion on Halloween night, cheering on the girls volleyball team in the Class D district semifinals in a match against Traverse City Christian.

Up to QR code Technology reaching new heights with G-L students

By Amy Hubbell Of The Enterprise staff

Grace Schroeder wants to live in the city when she grows up.

Now everyone can hear about it while looking at her artwork at Glen Lake School.

Art teacher Jill Walker has incorporated use of the QR codes in the elementary and high school classrooms. QR codes, abbreviated from Quick Response Code, is the trademark for a type of barcode, similar to UPC codes found on items in a grocery store. The codes were assigned to each piece of art work and linked to a website which holds an audio recording of a student produced interpretation of the work.

Fire and rescue personnel getting help from smartphone

By Patti Brandt Of The Enterprise staff

One local firefighter likes a new feature that notifies him via smartphone when there’s an emergency he needs to respond to.

Russ Korson, who is with the Leland Township Fire and Rescue Department, has gotten nearly a dozen calls already letting him know where a fire or medical emergency is located, and in the case of a fire, whether it’s a smoke investigation, a grass fire or a structure fire.

“I do like it,” said Korson, 31, who has been a full-time employee with the department for six years. “I use it all the time.”

The new feature was added in mid-September when the county’s CAD (Computer Aided Dispatch) system was updated, said Tom Skowronski, director of emergency management

and 911 for Leelanau County. It was tested for about a month with county fire chiefs and is now being used by all emergency personnel across the county who have smartphones, which many do, Skowronski said.

Here’s how it works: When a dispatch goes out it goes to radios and pagers just as it always has.

But now it also is sent simultaneously to all smartphones, of which there are many brands, including the Apple iPhone and the Android. Firefighters and EMT workers can also download a free ‘app’ that will provide mapping to the site of the call.

With that app they can also see who is en route to the scene and who has already arrived, Skowronski said.

“They can actually get directions from their current location, wherever they are to wherever the event is,” he said. “It’s kind of a nice feature

for tracking.”

Its advantages, he said, are that they can see the address and the map on the screen, where with a pager they have to rely on just hearing the message. They also have a record and can call up the address of the scene if they need to. While some pagers have a memory feature, not all do, Skowronski said.

And while it will tell firefighters what kind of fire they will be dealing with, it does not give details of a medical call.

“This is a secondary alert system,” Skowronski said. “It’s not a replacement for the pager, it’s just an additional feature for them.”

In addition, firefighters can get calls when they are in meetings or in church or other places where they don’t want their pagers to go off. With a smartphone they can set it to mute and when it

goes off they can take a quick peek at the screen no matter where they are.

“I don’t think it will ever replace our pagers, but it’s a way for us as a department to track who is available, who is unavailable or who is responding to a call,” Korson said.

Korson wishes there was better cell phone or Internet coverage in the county, which is needed to make the app work. He hasn’t missed any calls, but said there is sometimes up to a 60 second delay in notification, depending on where he is.

Plus, only about one-third of the Leland department has smartphones, he said. Some don’t even have cell phones and still others don’t even have e-mail addresses.

“We’re just trying to keep up with current technology and giving them the best resources we can,” Skowronski said. “It’s working out nice.”

Last good book you read: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Beautiful Mysteryâ&#x20AC;? by Louise Penny.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a murder mystery about a lost monastery in Canada.

If you could trade places with one person for a day, who would that be: My husband, Phil. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a good life.

PAULA SWINK of Leland is retired, but still does a lot of volunteer work.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for a ďŹ&#x201A;u shot, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look to the county health department.

The Benzie-Leelanau District Health Department has discontinued its annual ďŹ&#x201A;u shot program, due in part to a lack of demand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The vaccine is available at a lot of different places,â&#x20AC;? director Jenifer Murray said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not interested in competing with â&#x20AC;Ś private partners, rather we prefer to cooperate and refer eligible persons to their pharmacy to get the ďŹ&#x201A;u shot.â&#x20AC;?

In 2008, 430 doses of ďŹ&#x201A;u vaccine were administered by the department in Leelanau County. This total dropped to 390 by 2009, 360 in 2010; and 90 this year.

This year, the department is providing the vaccine only to its patients â&#x20AC;&#x201D; primarily pregnant women and children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year, we had a lot of leftover vaccine,â&#x20AC;? Murray said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make sense to provide the ďŹ&#x201A;u clinics when there are so many alternatives available.â&#x20AC;?

Locally, there are four sites to access the ďŹ&#x201A;u vaccine. All provide walk-in shots. No appointment is necessary.

The sites are: â&#x20AC;˘ Bay Shore Pharmacy, 93-A, Fourth St., Suttons Bay â&#x20AC;˘ The Prescription Shop, 321b N. Saint Joseph St., Suttons Bay â&#x20AC;˘ The Prescription Shop, 6404 Western Ave., Glen Arbor â&#x20AC;˘ Rite Aid-West Bay Shore, 13916 SW Bay Shore Dr., Traverse City. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll schedule someone who is not able to see other providers in Leelanau,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t turn anyone away that is not able to get the vaccine at the pharmacy.â&#x20AC;?

Each year, the seasonal inďŹ&#x201A;uenza vaccine contains three strains of inďŹ&#x201A;uenza based on surveillance-based forecasts about what viruses are most likely to cause illness in the coming season.

They select based on observances at ďŹ ve World Health Organization centers in Atlanta, Ga., London, Melbourne, Tokyo and Beijing.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, annual ďŹ&#x201A;u shots are recommended for: everyone six months of age or older; health care personnel; day care providers; those with chronic illness such as asthma.

Microbrewery in Northport plan A microbrewery, Wi-Fi and new signage to point out some items of interest may be in the future for Northport Village.

The Planning Commission this week heard a report from administrative coordinator Greg King stating that Karl Wyzinski is making plans to build a microbrewery at a former hardware store on Nagonaba Street near the intersection of Waukazoo.

“Just a heads up, but it looks like a microbrewery will be coming down the road,” King said. “We have nothing in our zoning that covers microbreweries.

“In that district, it’s allowed by right to do restaurants and such.”

King said he told Wyzinski that a special use permit would be required.

King said he had no plans or drawings yet from Wyzinski, however, an application for a microbrewery license was dropped off at the office.

Phil Mikesell, a planning commission member, said Wyzinski had a relative already involved in the microbrewery business. He believes Wyzinski may start a brewery operation but on a very small scale.

In other new business, commission member Christine Verdon said she recently read that Frankfort was getting on the broad band-band wagon, placing free Wi-Fi along its Main Street and Lake Michigan beach corridor thanks to a $12,500 grant through the Northwest Michigan Council of Governments New Designs for Growth program.

“I’m wondering, have we applied for anything like that for Wi-Fi,” Verdon said.

She directed King to check into the program to see if Northport could secure Wi-Fi in the village.

“Obviously there is money out there for that and it’s something that seems to be of interest to everyone,” she said not-

ing that the marina had Wi-Fi service as did the Leelanau Township Library.

Under old business, Mikesell, a Northport Village Council trustee who serves on the Planning Commission, said a way-finding signage chart that an ad hoc committee formulated last month needed to get the Village Council’s attention and some action.

“I think one of the real weaknesses in the way we operate is that we don’t have a very systematic way to forward stuff to the Council,” said Mikesell, who said the commission should make a motion of recommendation for action. “I just think we’d be better served by a little more formal procedure.”

Mikesell said the ad hoc committee — which included himself, Verdon and Earnest Barry — would meet again and come up with a motion by the next Planning Commission meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 4 on a call for action on additional signage.

The Planning Commission had proposed some changes earlier this year that Council took action on. The latest wayfinding signage chart was prepared by Barry.

King said the chart was submitted during his administrative report at a recent Council meeting.

“To pin it down, you might need a formal motion or a letter that we want this signage seriously looked at and maybe give some reasons why,” King said.

Bill Collins, commission chairman, suggested the committee meet again and come up with a detailed plan for the number of signs to be purchased and installed and the different locations.

“It’s a lot easier to act on something if you have something concrete in front of you,” Collins said.

Barry noted that although some new signage is needed, some of the older ones with graphics just needed updating or more information on them.

“The biggest area of need right now is probably in the waterfront/marina area,” Mikesell said after the meeting.

The Planning Commission met for 25 minutes on Monday. Members Ben Walraven and Donna Thomas were absent.

spend $450 for a water test for “pharmaceuticals and personal care products,” at well No. 1, which the village is considering replacing and drilling a new one at the same location. “It’s interesting to see where we are with the environment ... that there’s enough of this out there that it’s worth testing,” Mikesell said.

VonVoigtlander said she had heard complaints from boaters who were already struggling to get their boat out of the water this past summer. “I know none of us want to think about the possibility of doing a dredge,” VonVoigtlander said. “But if we need one, we might want to get a dredge

operator lined up.” Village president Fred Steffens said he was aware of the low water and that he would be working with King to look into getting a permit.

• Heard a comprehensive report from trustee Donna Groomes that the parks committee had a lot of concerns including weeds in the parks, suggesting some stones would be needed in some areas. For example, the south side of the new boater bathhouse and around the gazebo. She also expressed concern that the carpeting in the new bathhouse wasn’t staying down. Groomes said she had contacted Traverse City engineer Jim Schiffer, who said he’d check it out the next time he was in town. Groomes also said the bathroom at Haserot Park will have porcelain fixtures instead of the stainless steel and will put the item in the parks budget next spring. She also said the new south beach bathrooms were poorly designed and hard to maintain and recommended several changes, from white lighting to yellow and plexiglass on the doors for better privacy.

Seven new floating docks that will provide 14 additional boat slips at the G. Marsten Dame Marina in Northport have been installed.

Now the Northport Village Council has to find a way to keep the water around them from freezing up and causing damage to the wooden docks that will stay in the marina year-round.

“Our DPW guys and diver (Tom) Donnelly all talked about bubbling the floating docks,” said Greg King, the village’s administrative coordinator told the Council last Thursday. “I strongly feel that we need to do that.”

The Council referred the matter to the marina committee.

King said the docks, which were installed by Floating Dock Systems of Cedarville the week of Oct. 22, need a dock bubbler or dock de-icer before winter sets in.

“The diver was not keen on hooking up to our current system (used at the marina),” King said.

King said Tom Botz, supervisor for the village’s Department of Public Works, has collected information on de-icers that hook to the docks.

Botz figured at least three would be needed at a cost of about $1,000 each.

“They are pretty nice, self-contained,” King said. “They’re basically just a fan under water.

“They’re about $965 a poke. The beauty of these is once they are attached ... you can just unplug them instead of turning the compressor off.”

The new docks, including installation, are expected to cost upwards of $65,000. An anonymous donor has agreed to donate up to $40,000 for the dock project.

The Council, in its 55-minute meeting, also: • Agreed to put up guard railing on the roadway near the Old Mill Pond and Rose Street stream.

• Approved by a 6-0 vote, with trustee Barb VonVoigtlander abstaining, to divide a vacant lot owned by Al Mork on Fifth Street so he can sell the other half to adjoining neighbor Phil VonVoigtlander, who owns property at the corner of Fifth and Rose streets.

• Authorized King, by a 7-0 vote, to post a bid package for sidewalk winter snow removal.

• Heard from Bill Collins, an investor in the wind turbine put up by Leelanau Community Energy, LLC,, that the turbine is up and running and came in on budget. “When you look at the job done by local residents, it’s emblematic of the expertise we have in our village and in the township to pull off something like this,” Collins said.

“To pull off something like this, it’s not simply going to the internet and ordering up a wind turbine. I’m very proud of the job.”

• Heard from King that he is personally investigating a noise complaint from resident Rick Burmeister, who lives near the wind turbine. The turbine is located on village property that was leased to the LCE. • Heard from trustee Phil Mikesell that the water committee planned to

An assessment appeal for a Suttons Bay Village commercial building may create long-term ramifications in the values of neighboring business properties in the downtown district.

A Michigan Tax Tribunal hearing officer is recommending that the taxable value of the building housing Murdick’s Fudge Shoppe in downtown Suttons Bay be reduced significantly, which will result in less property tax revenue to local units of government.

Could such a scenario be played out elsewhere in the Suttons Bay commercial district — and elsewhere across the peninsula, for that matter?

Probably not, according to county equalization manager Laurie Spencer.

But as the values of commercial properties fall, more and more assessments are nearing a point in which it makes sense for the owners of property to consider whether they are paying too much in taxes. Owners of commercial property, especially buildings that were bought during the boom years for real estate, are no exception.

Spencer said that the few case studies available for commercial districts in the county are more likely to show that buildings are under assessed rather than over assessed.

“It could have a ripple effect if they are successful, right or wrong. To me that indicates they were successful based on their appeal, rather than what the market is doing,” she said.

Local boards of review across Michigan meet in March to consider assessment appeals. Property owners unhappy with board of review decisions may take their claims to the Michigan Tax Tribunal.

Dale and Michelle Murdick believed they were paying too much in property taxes, and went the extra step of ordering an appraisal to prove it. A proposed judgment by State Tax Tribunal hearing referee Lawrence P. Schweitzer validates their effort, lowering the assessed value on their Murdick’s Fudge Shoppe building at 209 St. Joseph St. from $136,510 to $82,500. The numbers theoretically are equal to one-half of the building’s worth.

The result will be a nearly $2,600 drop annually in the owners’ property taxes.

Dale Murdick said he knew his business was being overtaxed before the couple purchased a private appraisal showing that the Murdick’s Fudge Shoppe building was likely worth $165,000. The 2011 assessment value of the property put its true cash value at $273,000; the Board of Review for Suttons Bay Township lowered the value to $263,000 in March.

At the same time, though, the Board of Review increased the personal property value for Murdick’s Fudge Shoppe several fold to $25,000 after reviewing a real

Personal property increase had business owners baffled Dale and Michelle Murdick were fuming over having to appeal the personal property assessment for their Murdick’s Fudge Shoppe.

The Murdicks, who regularly appeal the assessed value of the Murdick’s real property, were successful in March in having the Suttons Bay Township Board of Review reduce the SEV of their commercial building from $136,500 to $131,500. In essence, the Review Board reduced the township’s estimate of the value of the property from $273,000 to $263,000. Later, a hearing officer with the Michigan Tax Tribunal would recommend that the property’s value be reduced to $165,000 based on a private appraisal ordered by the Murdicks after the Board of Review met. The building contains 2,339 square feet of finished space, according to a past real estate listing.

While the Murdicks received some help in their building assessment, the Board of Review with the same action increased the fudge shop’s personal property tax assessment several fold to $25,000. The Murdicks successfully appealed to have the personal property values dropped back to $1,781.

The Murdicks were never notified of a proposed increase in their personal property tax amount, and did not learn of the decision until receiving a notice that also contained the slight reduction in the value of their building.

Township assessor Kit Wilson said she was only following orders from the board of review.

“I wrote it on there because I was told by the Board of Review to increase the personal property, and I wanted to make sure the property owner had a chance to appeal that,” Wilson said.

When asked if the Board of Review voted on the decision, she said, “I couldn’t tell you, sir. I don’t sit in on their hearings.”

She said the review board was authorized to raise the personal property tax assessment without giving prior notice because the Murdicks were there estate listing that township assessor Kit Wilson said left the impression that equipment owned by Murdick’s Fudge Shoppe was greatly undervalued in township tax rolls. Wilson said the Murdicks had failed to file a personal property tax statement; Michelle Murdick disagrees.

The Murdicks successfully appealed the personal property tax increase, reducing the taxable value to $1,781. Personal property taxes are paid by businesses on equipment and vehicles.

The Murdicks’ building appraisal conducted by Grand Traverse Real Estate Appraisal was embraced by hearing referee Schweitzer in a separate procedure.

Wilson, whose company Michigan Assessing Service contracts with Suttons Bay Township, is appealing the recommendation. She took issue with the appraisal itself, believing commercial property in the village is worth more than the appraisal indicated.

“It definitely could have a domino effect if the commercial community gets wind that there is a down trend, and files appeals in 2013,” Wilson said.

Township supervisor Rich Bahle, who by state statute must sign and verify assessment rolls, said keeping assessed values in line with the actual values of

appealing their building’s assessment.

“They can only do it if you show up.

They can’t randomly pick property,” Wilson said.

Wilson said the Review Board was seeking to justify the building’s value in relationship to a past real estate listing for $469,000. The business itself was available separately for an additional $99,000.

Dale Murdick disagrees, saying his research indicated Wilson was responsible for the sharp increase in their personal property tax assessment.

“Sure enough, the board never approved it. She just penciled it in, and the board never approved it,” he said.

Bill Klein, Review Board chair, did not recall details of the Murdick’s personal property increase.

The Murdicks’ story gets murkier.

The Murdicks say, and township supervisor Rich Bahle acknowledges, that they received $120 in cash to cover the cost for filing the personal property tax appeal. Bahle said he and another township official provided the money; no township funds were involved, he said. “(The second official) and I said, ‘Ok, we’ll pay the filing fee.’ It was my decision, and I did it,” Bahle said.

Tom Nixon, the newest member of the Review Board, talked at length with the Murdicks, and encouraged them to appeal their personal property tax assessment to the state Tribunal. He has found a wide variety among businesses in the amount of personal property tax claimed, and little documentation.

“It impressed me how loose the personal property tax issue is. I’m not a private business owner, but it seems to me the individual proprietor determines the value of the property owned. There isn’t any means that seems available to really validate that,” Nixon said.

That said, he was glad to learn the Murdicks’ personal property tax adjustment was revised.

“I think the final conclusion is the right one,” he said.

property takes precedence over a possible loss of property tax income for local governments.

“What will be will be, and I’m not going to worry about a potential income loss to the township,” he said. “I’d rather see fair assessments, than to be strictly concerned about the income aspects of things.”

Bahle said the sale of the former Silvertree Deli building, one of the largest structures in downtown Suttons Bay, serves as an indicator of falling downtown values. The building was purchased by Bruce Vaughn for $800,000 in 2002. But after the Silvertree Deli went bust, the same property sold at auction for just $252,000 in May. “I think people were making emotional decisions to buy property, as opposed to their commercial value,” Bahle continued. “I think the multiples were even higher in Leland, where the season is shorter and square foot costs were higher ... Have we hit bottom? We’ve got a lot of properties where the SEVs and taxable values are nearly equal.”

Neither Wilson nor the Murdicks said they had heard a time frame for a decision on the Murdick Fudge Shoppe appeal.

Texan pleads not guilty to CSC charge Michael P. Wing, 35, has pleaded not guilty in 13th Circuit Court to two counts of criminal sexual conduct with a person under the age of 13 and one charge of habitual offender. Wing is being charged as a habitual offender due to a 2003 conviction in Kaufman, Texas, of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Formerly MICHAEL of Terrell, Texas, WING Wing was extradited from Texas and is currently being held in the Leelanau County Jail with a cash/surety bond set at $250,000.

The sexual molestation charges stem from incidents that allegedly took place in 2004 and 2005 in Lake Leelanau and Suttons Bay, when Wing lived in the same home as the victim, who is now 16. The victim, who was 8 and 9 years old when the alleged incidents took place, recently came forward.

If convicted, Wing faces up to 15 years in prison for each CSC count. He will also be required to have mandatory AIDS/STD testing. If convicted as a habitual offender, Wing faces up to one and one-half times the maximum sentence.

Reaching new heights

HIGH SCHOOL art students Rachel Johnson and Paige Emerson use a tablet computer to listen to their interpretations of digital photographs.

Completion of the project required them to tap different curricular areas.

Scanning applications must be installed on the mobile device to pick up the code which is linked with a website which holds the message.

Walker incorporated the QR codes into her digital photography class for grades 9-12.

“It makes it easier for people to understand why we did what we did,” said Paige Emerson, who produced a photo of a bright green leaf on a stained wooden deck.

Students were instructed to provide examples of 10 “composition rules” introduced by Walker.

Emerson explained the use of “background” in her recorded message.

Classmate Rachel Johnson was

excited about accessing the new technology.

“I had seen it around, but never thought we’d be able to use it,” the ninth grader said.

Her image of a red adirondack chair taken from the ground, illustrated the tool of “viewpoint” in her photo. She explains that in the recording.

“The message gives greater meaning to the picture,” she said.

Emerson said use of the QR codes could be easily integrated into an English project.

“It could have a recording or video that goes along with a written message,” she said.

Walker plans to apply the new technology to “sunset silhouettes” composed by fourth graders. Their watercolor silhouettes also hang in the elementary hallway.

“They’ll be able to tell a story about their painting,” she said.

St. Mary Auction nets $58,500

By Patti Brandt Of The Enterprise staff

Nearly 500 items brought in about $58,500 in this year’s St. Mary School Auction, held Saturday at the Leelanau Sands Showroom.

A Giclée print on canvas of a 1994 original oil painting “Sr. Mary Edward” that was donated by local artist Fred Petroskey sold for $7,000. The winning bid was a collaborative effort between Dora and John Korson, Jozell and Doug Rexroat, and Lizabeth Venie. The winners then donated the print back to the school.

Auctioneer Justin Wolf, who donates his services every year, helps raise the bids with his skills. All proceeds from the annual auction support the St. Mary School athletic programs, as well as the St. Mary community playground.

Led by auction chair Sonja Morton, dozens of volunteers solicited hundreds of local businesses and individuals who contributed items such as live lambs that brought in $2,350, spring break week in a Sanibel Island condominium that raised $1,800, a Steve Yzerman jersey signed by the 2002 Stanley Cup Championship team, which raised $1,400, and a dinner at the Cedar Rustic Inn with Rev. Michael Janowski and

principal Megan Glynn that raised $15,000 through a partnership of six couples.

The lambs were donated by parishioner Millie Hathaway.

“That was the first time we’ve had any livestock in the auction,” said Kris Popp, public relations coordinator for the school.

A new feature of this year’s auction was Treasure Chests, in which auctiongoers could spend $20 to earn a chance to pick one of 10 keys to win prizes that were concealed in two locked chests. All tickets sold were put in a hat with 10 names drawn, each of whom were given a key, of which only two would open the padlocks on the chests. Lucy Gits Schaub won the grand prize of an iPad and senior Anna Mikowski won $200 cash.

The chests brought a lot of excitement to the evening and is already a highly anticipated event for next year’s auction, Popp said.

While the auction did not bring in as much money this year as it did last year — a record $73,000 — it represents still a lot of money, Popp said.

“The auction is a big chunk of our athletic budget,” Popp said.

It is also used for things like upkeep and new woodchips for the playground, she said.

Lakeshore: 1.5 million visitors and still counting

By Eric Carlson Of The Enterprise staff

Each new day at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore is a new record in terms of the number of visitors at Leelanau County’s No. 1 tourist attraction.

The Lakeshore’s deputy superintendent Tom Ulrich reported this week that 71,430 more people visited the park in October. Overall visitation for the year is 1.5 million, ending at 1,506,766 on Oct. 31.

“The number of visitors we had in October was almost exactly the average number we’ve had in October over a 25 year-period,” Ulrich said. “The only surprise here is that we reached the average number for October despite really lousy weather for almost the entire month.”

The annual attendance record — 1,364,834 in 1999 — had been shattered by the end of September. The Lakeshore officially counted some 1,435,336 visitors in the first nine months of 2012.

An all-time record high number of visitors for an October occurred last year when 102,018 people visited the Lakeshore. This year’s October figure was 30-percent lower than October 2011 — but still on a par with the long term average.

More rain and cooler temperatures last month did more than keep National Lakeshore visitation at “average” levels this year, however. People whose businesses depend on tourism in southwestern Leelanau County were also

Hydrologists with the Army Corps of Engineers office in Detroit reported this week that precipitation over the Lake Michigan-Lake Huron basin was 48 percent above average last month even though precipitation has been 6 percent below average for the entire year.

“A lot really does depend on the weather,” said Linda Turner, co-owner of the Glen Arbor Lakeshore Inn. “We actually had a pretty good October, especially when the weather cooperated.

“But we did have some people leave a little early after the weather turned bad.”

A similar observation was made by Dottie Thompson, who manages a vacation rental in Glen Arbor.

“There were people showing up who really wanted to go hiking and exploring in the Lakeshore, but there was so much rain last month they found other things to do if they came up north at all,” Thompson said.

Regardless of how the weather turns out this month, 2012 will still be a banner year for visitation at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.

“We’re still getting calls from people who say they’ve heard this is America’s Most Beautiful Place and they’re hoping to visit for the first time,” Turner said.

except for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day. The annual fee waiver was started six years ago on Veterans Day. The waiver applies to entrance and standard amenity fees at public recreation lands managed by the National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, and U.S. Forest Service across the country. The fee waiver does not apply to camping fees.

Old dump site in park being tested Workers donned HAZ-MAT suits this week to investigate the former community dump near Tucker Lake in Glen Arbor Township.

The property, off Westman Road, is owned by the National Park Service.

Prizim Inc. and Weston Solutions of Michigan has been contracted by the Park Service to determine the volume and type of waste deposited at the dump which was used from about 1900 to the 1960s.

“We want to find out what’s in there and how much,” said Dianne Flaugh, environmental protection specialist with the NPS. Two test holes were scheduled to be dug this week to determine what — if any — hazardous materials may have been placed in the dump and how deep the waste is buried.

Flaugh did not know the amount of the contract which was approved at the NPS regional office.

She was hopeful that the majority of site work would be done by the middle of this week. Test samples taken from the site will be evaluated to help the agency determine what remediation is necessary.

“We’ll be talking with the state to determine the next steps to be taken,” Flaugh said.

At a minimum, monitor wells will likely be required, she said.

Rainy October may raise low water level prediction Above average precipitation in October has prompted the Army Corps of Engineers to predict that water levels in Lake Michigan may not fall quite as fast as predicted last month — although water levels are still on track to match record lows set in 1964.

Released Monday by the Army Corps’ hydrology office in Detroit, the latest six-month forecast indicates that water levels will likely dip to 1964 levels in December rather than this month.

New record low levels could be set in January and February of 2013, according to the report.

Public interest in low water levels has intensified in recent months and prompted the Army Corps of Engineers to hold a teleconference with news organizations throughout the Great Lakes basin including Canada last week. The Deputy Commander of the Army Corps of Engineers Detroit office, Maj. James Booth, and chief watershed hydrologist Keith Kompoltowics, conducted most of the conference.

Kompoltowics acknowledged that dredging on the St. Clair River in the 1920’s through 1960’s did increase outflow from the Lake Michigan-Lake Huron basin and may account for 10-to16 inches of lower water levels. Lake Michigan and Lake Huron are considered to be one body of water because they are connected at the Straits of Mackinac.

Since the 1960’s however, only maintenance dredging of the St. Clair River shipping channel has been done.

Kompoltowics said that record high water levels achieved in the 1980’s

WATER LEVELS in the Lake Michigan-Lake Huron basin are still expected to reach record low levels this winter although not as fast as predicted last month because of heavier than normal rain last month. In January or February, water levels may dip one or two inches below the record set in 1964.

Water levels are currently about 28 inches below the long term average level. The dashed line in the middle of the graph reflect the average water level. occurred while the river was dredged to its current depth and that no additional outflows have been evident since the channel was deepened more than 50 years ago.

He said that precipitation and snowmelt in relation to evaporation is the “primary driver” of lake level fluctuations. In October, precipitation over the basin was about 48 percent above aver-

age. For the entire year, however, precipitation was about six percent below average.

Booth said it would be technically possible to erect structures in the St. Clair River that could retain more of the water in the Lake Michigan-Lake Huron basin, but that such structures could cost up to $200 million and would take many years to construct. He said there are no

994-2288 Lake Leelanau

current plans to do so.

In October, water levels in Lake Michigan were five inches lower than September’s level. The level last month was 13 inches below the same time last year and 28 inches below the long term average recorded between 1918 and 2011.

Veterans honored in many ways She might have been delivered by a stork, but heavier babies need a crane. And speaking of Halloween, did you know that if you don’t pay your exorcist, you can be repossessed?

This Tuesday at 6 p.m. is the monthly Omena Potluck in the Omena community room.

The annual Holiday Bazaar, Best for Kids’ fund raiser for the Leelanau Children’s Center is coming up on Saturday, Dec. 8. They would love to have volunteer bakers to donate beautifully wrapped holiday treats. There is also a “Christmas Store” table with holiday decorations and gift items if anyone would like to donate items to that.

On Friday, Nov. 9 from 3-4:30 p.m.

Northport Highlands is presenting an afternoon with Mark Twain — a one man show with Dean Robb followed by a wine and cheese reception.

Saturday, Nov. 17 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. is the Christmas Craft Show fundraiser for the Northport Promise, featuring local and regional artists, homemade tasty treats, and one-of-a-kind gifts. It will be in the Northport Public School main lobby.

This Sunday is Veterans Day. The legal holiday is Monday. Northport School will hold its annual Veterans Day program this morning at 10 a.m. at the school with guest speakers Jerry Dennis (author) and Larry Frank (Northport vet). Thanks to George Anderson for again organizing the program.

Veterans Day began as Armistice Day in 1919 to celebrate the end of World War I on Nov. 11, 1918. In 1947, it was officially changed to National Veterans Day to honor all veterans, not just WWI. Omena residents Judy Pohlod, Joan Blount and Cheryl Donakowski will be helping to honor veterans in the Mel Larimer Concert Series choral concert this Sunday at the First Congregational Church on Center Road in Traverse City. They will be performing Karl Jenkins’ The Armed Man: A Mass For Peace with the NMC Grand Traverse Chorale, along with the NMC Chamber Singers, Traverse City West Senior High Chorale and the Grand Traverse Festival Chorus and Orchestra. This concert will be a moving and appropriate observance of Veterans’ Day. The cost for adults is $15, students $5, families $40, and veterans are free.

I’ve had to make a lot of corrections writing this column. Pencils could be made with erasers at both ends, but what would be the point?

I also recently wrote a novel about a person in Omena who had small garden, but it didn’t have much of a plot.

You may have been watching the white towers being erected at Saving Birds Thru Habitat (SBTH). Kay Charter told me I had to wait until the newsletter came out to find out what they are. So now I know.

They call it “Swifthenge”, and the 14’ foot high towers are Chimney Swift nesting

structures. SBTH received a grant from the Conservation Resource Alliance in August that made these possible. Learn more about Chimney Swifts and about the great things SBTH is doing at www.savingbirds. org.

The Omena News has its own police blotter now. Last week police were called to a local daycare where a 3-year old was resisting a rest.

Six Rule cousins were in town to work on projects around the cottage and visit with their aunt Jonnie Hodgson and Omena cousins Rink Smith and Debby Disch and their families. Mike and Steve Hessel came from Oregon, their brother Ed Hessel from San Diego, Luke Robinson came from Cincinnati and his brother Logan came from Bloomfield Hills. Jim Wickemeyer came from Battle Creek.

They also visited with Chris Verdery and his mother Pat. Barb and John Harris were in town for the weekend and Barb joined them for lunch with Jonnie at the cottage.

All eight cousins and Les Disch and Harold and Kanda McKee went to the Knot to watch the Oregon-USC game, which is a major rivalry. They all got to watch the record breaking 62-51 Oregon win, where Oregon scored more points and gained more yardage against USC than any team in history. Even for us Midwesterners, it was quite the game.

After my bicycle ride the other day, I discovered that I couldn’t get it to stand up alone. It was two tired.

Cub reporter Allan Dalzell reported that there was a throng of people in Omena last Sunday looking for the golden arches of a McDonalds. It turns out the Enterprise’s on-line site had the headline “Omena MacDonalds celebrate 50 years.”

Congratulations to Dave and Jacquie Johnson on the birth of their granddaughter Penelope Mary Mehew in Port Angeles, Washington. She was born on Halloween to their daughter Josie and her husband Chris.

It’s been pretty gloomy for a while. I hope this isn’t a preview of the coming winter.

The annual pig roast at Art’s was well attended in spite of the weather, it’s nice of them to feed the town one day a year.

The Glen Arbor Women’s Club will meet Tuesday at the Bethlehem Lutheran Church. The program will be Melissa Kelenske who will give ideas on Winter Knitting projects. It is suggested that attendees bring a nonperishable item for the local food pantry.

Speaking of helping, Buckets of Rain which is a non-profit organization that travels to impoverished countries and people to teach them how to grow their own food, have recently been close to home in Detroit and Flint to help people, and there is talk of a food pantry garden in Leelanau County which this organization will help with. They are in need of equipment, such as a pickup truck and a small tractor which would help eliminate equipment rental, they are a 501c3 public charity, so your donations are tax deductible.

For more information, go to Bucketsofrain. org.

Very sincere condolences to the family and friends of Sonya Stanz and Les Haney.

Please don’t forget Veterans Day on Sunday. Be a patriot and honor the men and women that have put their lives on line for their country.

The next artist-in-residence program at the Glen Arbor Art Association will be Susan Tusa who will discuss her works as

a photojournalist tonight at 7:30 pm at the Art Association Building on Lake Street.

The public is welcome.

The Glen Arbor ramp is closed for the winter. Thanks to those who paid to use the ramp and keep it open, others not so much. How can anyone appreciate the people that use the ramp and don’t feel that they should be required to pay including those that rent equipment. Apparently they think they don’t owe anything to use the ramp, I wonder what would happen to their business and what the others that don’t pay would do if the ramp wasn’t there. The ramp is an amenity paid for not only by the township, but also by the users. I would hate to see it go away.

Happy Birthday to two special ladies, my grand daughter Jordan Michelle Thompson and my daughter Kellie Gray.

I hope you both have great days.

The election is over, if you didn’t vote, don’t complain.

Go Bears!

THE LEELANAU ENTERPRISE

Section 2, Page 13

Looking Back in Leelanau County…

LELAND DAM, c.

1900, presumably on or near the site of Manseau’s original dam, with the abandoned Leland Lumber Company sawmill to the left.

Courtesy of Leelanau Historical Society

Before Fishtown: Chapter 3 law, R. A. Stanbrough, who had a shingle mill on the south bank of the river in what is now Fishtown. “A man named Thies had a small lumber and grist mill on the north bank,” he remembered, “and a fisherman named Mike Daly plied his trade on Lake Michigan with a sailboat. The first bridge had a gap in the middle to allow boats to pass through, and those desiring to cross had to lay a plank over the gap.”

Leland’s pioneering white settlers were primarily lumbermen and woodcutters. Wooding, or providing cordwood fuel for the steamships traversing the Manitou Passage, was the engine of commerce throughout the Grand Traverse region. Wooding stations on the nearby Manitou Islands developed as early as the 1840s, while mainland communities such as Leland followed suit in the 1850s and 1860s. By 1867 Leland’s population had grown to two hundred. In addition to three shipping docks, the Michigan State Gazetteer reported the nascent village had “three stores, a saw and grist mill, a stave and heading manufactory, two hotels or boarding houses, shoe and blacksmith shops, a physician and grocer.” Leland became the principal business point for Centerville Township. When, in March, 1867, Manseau’s dam was swept away, commerce was devastated. The new, higher dam raised the water level 12 feet. What had been three connected lakes upstream became one large lake, Carp Lake, now navigable to Cedar and providing access to vast interior tracks of hardwood. A report of the time extolled the virtues of the little town: “Located, as it is, between Carp Lake and Lake Michigan, with Carp River connecting, fine facilities are offered and improved, for converting the stately forests surrounding Carp Lake, into wood, staves, etc., by means of tugs and scows.” Sawmills

flanked the river, their saws buzzing through the massive timbers that floated downstream to Lake Michigan.

Lumbering dominated the economy until 1870, when the Leland Iron Works fired up its blast furnace and changed the face of Leland.

The river’s clear shallow waters today belie its past as a conduit for industry. “The charming little village in northwest Michigan” now touted on Leland’s official website was, in the late nineteenth century, a grimy company town. Its favorable location had caught the eye of a group of Detroit entrepreneurs who founded the Leland Lake Superior Iron Company, an enterprise that existed under various names and ownership from 1870 to 1884.

Leland seemed ideal for the new venture due to waterpower provided by the river and dam, a vast supply of timber, and proximity to Lake Michigan where ships transported raw iron ore from the Upper Peninsula and then carried ingots of pig iron to steel mills on the Great Lakes. The iron company dominated the landscape and owned large portions of Leland, including what is now the north side of Fishtown.

For the few fishermen then working out of the river, it must have been a relief to escape to the fresh, windblown expanse of Lake Michigan, away from the grit and grinding noise of the smelter and charcoal ovens. A poem published in the Leelanau Enterprise captures the sudden feeling of quiet relief of “Leland in November” after the shipping lanes had closed for the season: No boats, no smoking kiln, No whirling, buzzing mill, No fire from out the stack, No charcoal, dust nor slack, No crushing of more ore, No business any more, No smelt, no blast All’s quiet as last— Leland in November.

RON BROWN & SONS, INC. ASPHALT PAVING

*** Teachers in three Leelanau County public school systems still are working without new master contracts. School authorities in the three districts — Leland, Northport and Suttons Bay — said yesterday that little progress has been made recently toward reaching agreements, but that there “has been no talk of a strike.” *** The number of car-deer accidents in Leelanau County continues to bear out Michigan Department of Natural Resources estimates that the deer population is extra-large this year, numbering over a million for the state as a whole.

Most of the deer-car mishaps in Leelanau County occur during hours of darkness.

60 YEARS AGO November 6, 1952 A crew of men still is patrolling the 65 acre area burned over by a forest fire which began Monday near the center of North Manitou Island. Frand Hoard, district supervisor for the conservation department, said if the blaze hadn’t been checked so early it might well have laid waste half of the 14,000 acre island. The blaze was discovered Monday afternoon by the pilot of an airplane who was flying deer hunters to the island from Manistee. *** The more than 4,000 persons who balloted Tuesday in Leelanau County voted Republican 3-1 for national offices and locally, named a new probate judge and elected the Republican candidate for road commissioner. The vote set an alltime record.

114 YEARS AGO November 3, 1898 Ledwig Seelig, the Northport butcher and owner of the only meat market in town, retired on Oct. 31st. For the next few years he will engage in farming, hunting and fishing and in improving the beautiful resort property formerly known as Smith’s Grove. *** Burke & McQueer are manufacturing cider every Wednesday and Saturday in Maple City. And Maple City is to have a furniture and undertaking establishment in the near future. *** Not a guilty person has escaped the long arm of Sheriff Bellinger during the past two years, and every one of them received the punishment they deserved.

He has had only one term and his splendid record certainly entitles him to another.

Editor’s note: The following story was reprinted with permission from Okemos author Laurie Kay Sommers and the Fishtown Preservation Society.

It was taken from chapter 3 of Sommers’ book “Fishtown: Leland, Michigan’s Historic Fishery.”

When University of Michigan professor Alexander Winchell surveyed the Grand Traverse region’s geological and industrial resources in 1866, he found vistas of breathtaking beauty: “Carp lake is a beautiful sheet of pure water, resting in the bosom of the hills, which, with their rounded forest-covered forms, furnish it a setting of surpassing loveliness. Carp river, the outlet of Carp lake, discharges a body of water nearly as large, and having a fall of 5 or 6 feet (at the dam) affords another admirable water power. This river is not over a half mile in length.”

The Carp (now Leland) River shaped the evolution of human activity along its banks. Estuaries and lakeshore locations of the Grand Traverse region, including the Leelanau Peninsula, were used by the Grand Traverse Ottawa and Chippewa to gain access to the rich fishing grounds of Lake Michigan and Grand Traverse Bay. The area north of the Carp River mouth was the site of an Ottawa village called (with various phonetic spellings) “Shamagobeg.”

Anthropologist James McClurken suggests that this was the oldest and largest permanent village of the Grand Traverse bands of Ottawa. The 1839 census lists 239 people, “nearly as many as the second and third largest Grand Traverse villages combined.”

Just a year before the census, young Bela Hubbard and state geologist Douglass Houghton had arrived by boat at Carp River as part of the Michigan Geological Survey.

Hubbard’s extraordinary drawing of Shamagobeg is the earliest visual documentation of buildings and structures near the river’s mouth.

The French Canadian millwright Antoine Manseau would have seen the town of Shamagobeg while scouting the mouth of the Carp River in the late 1840s for a possible sawmill site. The river ran swift and free, falling 15 feet from its source in Carp Lake (presentday Lake Leelanau) to its outlet in the Big Lake. Undeterred by the presence of Ottawa and Ojibwa families, Manseau and his son, Antoine Jr., returned in the summer of 1853 to build the first dam and sawmill on the Carp River. Most early histories state that the Indians of Shamagobeg left soon after the arrival of the early white settlers, believing all the land had been sold to whites.

The Indians may have abandoned their town site, but they relocated to other areas of Leelanau County and still frequented the new village of Leland. New York-born Henry J. Barnard arrived in Leland in June 1864, and recalled that “Indians were numerous.” Barnard and his young family had come to join his father-in-

5 YEARS AGO November 8, 2007 Election inspectors throughout the county had more cooperation from voters than they did Mother Nature during Tuesday’s general election. Election inspectors in Cleveland Township used flashlights and headlamps to examine IDs much of the day after power went out at 10:40 a.m. Electrical service had not yet been restored when ballots were delivered to the county Clerk’s office in Leland about 9:30 p.m. “We got through it, but there was no heat,” election worker Ruth Shaffran said. *** Attorney Bill Rastetter figured he and other representatives of the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians had better attend the biennial meeting of the Conservation Resource Alliance in Traverse City for a couple reasons. First, tribal members wanted to show support for natural resources. And secondly, they wanted to hear what justappointed Michigan United Conservation Club executive director Dennis C. Muchmore had to say about the recently released consent decree acknowledging inland rights to hunt and fish within property defined by an 1937 treaty. *** Wind gusts of up to 47 mph buffeted the county this week, contributing to a four-car pile-up on M-22 south of M-204 and destroying a seasonal home on Lake Leelanau.

10 YEARS AGO November 7, 2002 County officials say they’re “elated” and “thrilled” that more than 56 percent of Leelanau County voters approved a proposal to underwrite expanded 9-1-1 emergency dispatching services with an increased telephone surcharge.

Tuesday’s “yes” vote will raise the rate for individual phone line users from 4 percent of the basic monthly phone service to 16 percent. *** The face and possibly the direction of the County Board of Commissioners will change Jan. 1 with election of a newly expanded body. Thomas F. Evans of Leland was elected to the last remaining contested seat on the County Board, downing former Enterprise publisher Richard C. Kerr, 823-504. The addition of Mary Tonneberger and Evans to the board along with new District No. 2 commissioner Mark Walter, may do more than expand the board to seven members. It could also put a new slant on the county “facilities” issue. *** 53 percent of Leelanau’s 16,829 voters — some 9,784 persons — cast absentee ballot or made it to the polls in person.

The total represents a decrease from the last gubernatorial election, in which 59.6 percent of the county’s registered voters cast ballots. Leading the way, as it has in previous years, was Glen Arbor Township. Some 533 of the 751 persons registered to go to the polls — 71 percent.

35 YEARS AGO November 3, 1977 Scattered cases of chicken pox have been reported in Leelanau County in recent days, the Tri-County Health Department said yesterday. A spokesman said cases have been detected at a number of schools, with the total through the first of this week being “between 10 and 20.”

Years ago many people believed that if you touched the beard of a man from whom you desired a favor, it would be granted. The Bible contains the story of a woman who believed that if she touched the robe of Jesus she would be granted healing. For twelve years she had sought a cure for her illness. She had exhausted all of her resources. Then she heard about the miraculous power of Jesus to heal the sick.

Quietly slipping through the crowd, she drew close to Him. When she could, she reached out and touched the hem of His robe, believing that she would be well. And she was healed instantly. Jesus realized what had happened and wanted her to have faith in Him, not His robe. Quickly He asked, “Who touched my garments?” The woman came to Jesus with fear in her heart, fell before Him and admitted what she had done. Graciously He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in faith and be healed of your disease.”

Whenever we have a need or come to a problem that is beyond us, we need to reach out in faith and “touch the Lord.”

Toys for Tots campaign gearing up to meet Christmas needs

By Eric Carlson Of The Enterprise staff

The annual Marine Corps Toys for Tots campaign in Leelanau County will begin tomorrow, the day before the 237th anniversary of the founding of the United States Marine Corps.

“We always find it challenging to ask people to ‘think Christmas’ in November and early December,” said Suttons Bay resident Karen Fredrickson, coordinator of the Toys for Tots campaign in Leelanau County.

“The distribution of toys to the parents of Leelanau County children will be held on Dec. 11, so we really need to find toys in our drop off boxes before Dec. 7 if at all possible.”

Toys collected after Dec. 7 will be turned over to the Northwest Michigan Toys for Tots organization for distribution as needed throughout the entire region which includes Grand Traverse, Antrim, Kalkaska and Benzie counties.

“We will likely collect toys until Dec. 17 although we may keep our drop off boxes up a little later than that if the Northwest Michigan Toys for Tots organization finds, as they did last year, that they do not have enough toys to meet the needs of all the agencies that receive toys from Toys for Tots,” Fredrickson added.

The Toys for Tots organization does not distribute toys directly to needy families — local agencies do that. All of the toys collected in Leelanau County are turned over to Goodwill, which distributes them to needy Leelanau County families. The regional Toys for Tots organization turns the toys they collect over to Goodwill, the Salvation Army, the Father Fred Foundation and other agencies that determine who qualifies to receive the toys.

Fredrickson, her husband Charlie and other volunteers were distributing collection boxes, posters, lawn signs and other materials to drop-off loca-

In past years, the Leland Library has been one of the most productive drop-off locations, according to Leelanau County Toys for Tots campaign coordinator Karen Fredrickson.

tions throughout Leelanau County late last week and this week, with the county campaign formally beginning tomorrow.

An event to mark the beginning of the regional Toys for Tots effort will be held Saturday, Nov. 17, from noon until 2 p.m. at Great Wolf Lodge in Traverse City. The kid-friendly event is free and will include Christmas carols, refreshments and a visit from Santa.

Representatives of the Marine Corps Reserve, which founded the Toys for Tots effort in 1948, are also expected to be on hand. A Coast Guard helicopter will land outside the lodge, weather permitting.

Mike Kent of the Northwest Michigan Toys for Tots organization said too many people wait until the last week to donate toys, making it difficult for the agencies to distribute the toys to needy families by Christmas.

“Every indication from our agencies is that the need is even greater than last year, and last year was a record in the number of toys collected and distributed throughout the five county area that we are responsible for,” Kent said.

Toys for Tots accepts only new, unwrapped toys. It does not accept used toys, homemade toys, school supplies, food or clothing.

“Every community in Leelanau County has one or more drop-off locations available and we welcome community involvement,” Fredrickson said.

Last year some local residents invited dinner guests, or party guests, to bring a new unwrapped toy to the gathering they were hosting, Fredrickson said. The toys were then taken to Toys for Tots drop-off locations.

“We would love to see more of that kind of thing,” she said.

Anyone seeking more information about the Toys for Tots campaign in Leelanau County may contact Karen Fredrickson at 271-3620.
