Lake Leelanau resident Cathy Wurm, who was swimming with her two children at Van’s Beach last Thursday when one drowning and two neardrownings occurred, said changes are needed for the protection of swimmers. She said one man swam to near exhaustion before breaking loose of the grip of a strong rip current, then another man was washed away before being saved by two bystanders who commandeered a kayak from a nearby home. The rescue process was complicated when a cell phone call to 9-1-1 kept breaking up. It wasn’t until after two swimmers nearly lost their lives that Lake Michigan rip currents claimed the life of 16-year-old Lake Leelanau resident Brian Paul Rolston. “I kind of hope that through this, and through your paper, we could get some lifesaving devices there. Or maybe get a phone down there,” she said. Fire Board member and township trustee Susan Och said the township needs to learn from what

Friends, teachers lament teen’s death By Amy Hubbell of the Enterprise staff

Brian Rolston would have began his first day of his junior year at Leland High School on Tuesday. Instead his friends and classmates are mourning the loss of the 16-year-old Lake Leelanau resident who died last week while swimming in Lake Michigan off Van’s Beach. About 50 students showed up Saturday at Leland Public School to talk about their friend who worked as a dishwasher this summer at Bella Fortuna in Lake Leelanau. The gathering, attended by the secondary staff, was part of the school’s crisis response procedure. “Brian was quiet, but had a group of kids Brian Rolston he liked to hang out with,” Superintendent called Jason Stowe said. The only male caring, quiet, child in the family of perceptive Steven and Jeri

Rolston, Brian was excited about attending the CareerTech Center in Traverse City this fall to study public safety. Rolston, referred to as “Bubba” by friends, had also been a member of the technical crew for Leland School’s musical theater productions. Silvio Ciccone, Brandon Priest and Rolston called BRIAN ROLSTON themselves the “Three Musketeers.” Ciccone was a first-year student at Leland when he met Rolston last year. “We’d hang out … walking around Lake Leelanau and the beach,” said Ciccone, who also worked at Bella Fortuna. “He wasn’t the greatest swimmer, but he could swim.” Rolston appeared shy to strangers, but was quite a joker to those closest to him. Ciccone last saw Rolston a couple days before his death when

A proposed Leelanau County budget for 2013 calls for a spending increase of nearly $500,000, although the fiscal plan has a long way to go before being adopted. “I wasn’t here last year, but it appears this year’s process is going fairly smoothly,” county administrator Chet Janik said. “The recommendation I gave to the County Board — and it got passed on to department heads — was to maintain the present levels into 2013.” While a goal, an assemblage of proposed spending for 2013 in a preliminary budget calls for expenses totaling $11,286,166, a 4.6 percent increase over the $10,791,338 spending level in (Concluded on Page 18)

She was born June 16, 1918 in Leelanau County to Edward and Josephine (LaVanture) Drew and moved as a young girl to the Detroit area where she grew up. She married William Omell in 1939. They came back to Leelanau County and raised their family in Omena. For a time, she ran a small bakery out of her home, delivering bread and pastries to summer folks on Omena Point and selling her bread in grocery stores in Omena. They moved to the Houghton Lake area in the early ‘60s where they ran Ruby’s Corners, a small store and bakery in the Heights. For a number of years, Ruby lived in Traverse City working at Shields restaurant as the pastry chef. She retired in 1983 to her home in Houghton Lake near her son and his family.

Memorial contributions can be directed to the Roscommon County Commission on Aging, Houghton Lake branch. Lee Ramsay Funeral Home, Pinconning, Mich., handled the arrangements.

Strong offshore winds and three to ﬁve-foot waves contributed to a capsized kayak approximately three-quarters of a mile offshore from the Glen Arbor boat launch last week. Glen Lake Rescue’s ﬁre boat was conducting a training mission when the crew spotted a capsized kayak with a person clinging to its side. “We spotted the kayaker previously and kept him under watch as we conducted our training,” said boat captain Scott Sheehan. “In fact, at one point we pulled up alongside of the kayaker and asked if everything was OK.” A short time afterward, the crew witnessed the kayaker capsize. “We responded immediately and assisted the kayaker aboard our boat,

Doug was born on October 4, 1946 in Detroit, MI to the late Robert Hunter and Doris May (Konneker) Parkinson. He married Bonnie W.

then collected his kayak and gear.” Sheehan said. Boat operator/firefighter-EMT Chad Dykgraaf said the outcome could have been much worse. “It was the gentleman’s lucky day,” Dykgraaf said. “The high winds would have carried him a significant distance offshore in a short period of time. The increasing intensity of the waves would have placed great physical demands on the kayaker increasing the risk of drowning. “If we hadn’t been out there training, I’m not so certain that this would have had a happy ending,” Dykgraaf said. Both Sheehan and Dykgraaf said the kayaker did not have any means of communications with him and he was paddling alone. It was unclear as to whether the kayaker had established

38 want job as Leland fire chief As of Tuesday Leland Township has heard from 38 applicants interested in heading up the Leland Township Fire & Rescue Department. And they come from all over, even as far away as Afghanistan, said Cal Little, chairman of the Leland Township Fire Board. An ad is still posted in several newspapers, as well as online. Several applicants are from Michigan, he said, while others are from Washington, California, North Carolina, Tennessee and Maryland. Little said the Fire Board is working on a way to evaluate applicants. He said he doesn’t yet know how many will be interviewed. A search committee for the fire chief post has been disbanded, he said, as it has done its job. A new Chief Candidate Review Committee is being formed that will evaluate qualifications of candidates against a new job description recently adopted by the township, set up preliminary interviews and recommend finalists. The committee will also recommend a salary and benefits package, Little said. The former fire chief, who was parttime, was paid $62,000 last year, plus health insurance benefits. Little said that salary is in range with what fire chiefs in departments similar to Leland’s are paid, though on the low end of that range. The new position will be full-time. According to the posted ad, the department is looking for someone with minimum of five years of fire suppression and emergency service experience and three years of emergency service supervisory experience. Little and Fire Board member Kathy Spinniken were appointed to the new Review Committee, which will also have two members from the Leland Township Board and two members from the Leland Fire Department. Little said he would like a consultant fire chief the township has hired to have input on picking a new chief. In other action the board unanimously approved a new mission statement for the department.

Buzz over ORV use will fade; drive safely The controversy generated by the county’s new off-road vehicle ordinance eventually will fade, becoming little more than the expected buzz of a distant chainsaw come fall. After all, ORVs are as aggressive as their drivers, and most drivers in Leelanau County are well beyond the Evil Kneival stage of their lives. The Leelanau County Board of Commissioners on Aug. 21 approved an ordinance that allows ORVs to be driven along the shoulders of county roads. They can’t be driven faster than 25 mph, and ORV drivers must yield to other vehicles. Previously, Leelanau was the only county in northern Michigan continuing to ban roadside use of the vehicles. ORVs were limited to private properties in Leelanau County, as there is no public off-road trail system here. A change was taken up a couple years ago, but tabled after a few complaints were forwarded to commissioners. At the time, a state law allowing counties to open up their roads to ORV use was relatively new. Opponents picked from a long list of tragedies that were all but certain to occur once the county’s off-road brigade was unleashed. Private property would be destroyed. ORVs would be operated in daring fashion, endangering the lives of drivers. And the noise those contraptions make. But those problems did not materialize, in Benzie County, according to commissioner Mark Roper. While a handful of Benzie townships originally opted out of the ORV ordinance — as they are allowed to do under the state law — most have since changed their stands. The Leelanau County Board vote, which came after a public hearing showed widespread support for the ordinance, surprised us. After all, a few “tweaks” still were needed to the document before them. And although the issue had been discussed for months, the trustees of three township boards had sent letters to commissioner David Marshall opposing the ordinance. We thought the township board actions were premature considering the topic had not been discussed on a local level. In fact, Cleveland, Glen Arbor and Empire boards may find surprising support within their own populace as the term ORV covers many a vehicle, including golf carts used by seniors to visit the grocery store. We were not surprised that Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore opposed the measure, although citing a court settlement reached in 2008 with a radical environmental group over ORV use in the National Park system seemed a stretch to us. The Lakeshore has no jurisdiction over county roads, and so we hope the issue ends there. We do, however, implore ORV drivers within the park to stay alongside county roads and behave themselves. The days of the dunesmobile are long gone. For that matter, the onus now goes squarely on the shoulders of all ORV drivers in Leelanau County. Drive slowly and safely, and county road shoulders should be yours to use for a very long time.

An avoidable tragedy Some deaths are unavoidable. There is solace in acknowledging random events that led to their conclusion. We find no comfort in examining events preceding the death of Leland high school student Brian Paul “Bubba” Rolston. They read like a slow-moving tragedy, a book that should have been discarded before its last chapter. Mr. Rolston, a hard-working kid with eyes on a military career, drowned last Thursday off the breakwall in Leland. For two days previous, the National Weather Service issued strong warnings of impending rip currents. That afternoon, witnesses say swimmers rescued a man caught in the currents. Then about 4 p.m., quick-thinking beach-goers commandeered a kayak to save a second man washing away in the big lake. The man, gasping and near-drowned, was treated by paramedics at the beach before being whisked to Munson Medical Center. Young Mr. Rolston drowned about an hour later. The popular beach is owned by Leland Township. It has no warning flags; it has no ring buoys. The county Sheriff’s Office has no direct jurisdiction. Apparently nobody does. We realize that, in the end, all drownings off Leelanau’s coast can be attributed to a lack of respect for Lake Michigan. In this case, though, we should have done more to keep Mr. Rolston with us to fulfill his lifetime of promise.

Un-site-ly ordinance in township is needed To the Editor: I’m sure you’ve noticed the Sleeping Bear Dunes are getting a lot of attention these days. No doubt they are one of the most beautiful spots in our country. People are coming from a far to see beauty. Why do you ask? Because there is enough ugly in the world. People just don’t like ugly. They certainly wouldn’t come if it wasn’t pretty. They wouldn’t come if it was un-site-ly. People don’t like un-site-ly. So why isn’t there a township ruling about un-site-ly property. I’m in favor of an un-site-ly ordinance. Here’s a suggestion on how it could work: If a complaint is received of an unsite-ly piece of property, the township ofﬁcers would view the property and if they agree it is “un-site-ly” the owner would be given a citation with stipulations to improve the situation. A second notice would be issued if not corrected. Tickets and ﬁnes to follow. What do you think? Don Montie N. Carlson Rd., Northport

Back-to-school rush just a parting thought today We stayed put for Labor Day weekend and liked it. In the days when my children needed school supplies and last minute items for the first day of school, Joe and I would often spend these days scrambling. But alas, we have no more children attending classes at a local school. With Gracie’s graduation in June, for the first time in 17 years we didn’t have anyone to take “back-toschool” shopping. I remember working and saving all summer in hopes that I’d raise $100 to go school shopping. Oh the hours I wasted thumbing through the Sears catalogue, writing down the numbers of items I thought were essentials for a new wardrobe. While we didn’t have a lot of money, mom always made it fun. During my early childhood, there weren’t many choices about where to shop in the Traverse City area. Downtown’s “Cradle to Teen” shop was always on the list. That’s where I got my “training” bra. Oh, and no school shopping trip was complete without a trip to Gauthier’s Shoes, near Tom’s West Bay. Mom and Dad knew John and Ruth Gauthier for years. Ruth’s sister lived next door to my parents when they lived in Lake Leelanau. We’d go in the store and look for a bit before finding something to try on. Unlike many shops today where people are left to figure out what size they need, at Gauthier’s I sat down and John or his staff would pull up a footstool and grab their Brannock (foot measuring) device to see how much I had grown since we bought Easter shoes the previous spring. The device was designed to measure foot length, width and the arch of the wearer. Before the advent of the Cherryland Mall (now Cherryland Center) mom was not opposed to going elsewhere for school clothing. I specifically remember one trip to Saginaw and another to Chicago. I recall going enthusiastically to the popular stores in Fashion Square Mall in Saginaw. It takes little effort to see in my mind’s eye a pair of slate blue Levi corduroys and a contrasting plaid button-up blouse

purchased during that trip, which was A column just before my seventh or eighth grade by year. The followAmy ing August Mom, Hubbell my younger sister Tassie and I went to Chicago and visited my mom’s cousin, Helen, who lived in the suburb of Park Ridge. Helen summered at her family’s cottage on the Old Mission Peninsula. She was famous for rolling out the red carpet to guests at her home at Old Mission and this extended to her home in Chicagoland. An extra big treat that year was going to Marshall Fields, which was bought by Macy’s in 2005. While the merchandise on the main floor was more than what our budget could support, there were plenty of bargains in the basement and we loaded up. The most comfortable shoes I’ve ever owned were purchased during that trip. Bass saddle shoes, burgundy in color with black laces and a chunky heel. I wore these all the way through high school. Got our money out of them. Wish I still that pair, but they’re long gone. I remember going back-to-school shopping with my kids and some of the very phrases my mother used when we went shopping years earlier surfaced. “Are you sure you’re going to wear these?” There was no talk of that this weekend. Emily left last week for her final year studying biology at U of M. Tim worked most the weekend and was absent from home the remainder of the time. Grace went downstate with her boyfriend’s family. Just Joe and I. We went for a boat trip to Fudgie Beach on Saturday. Hopefully not our last of the year. Went to dinner with friends Sunday night. Drove into Traverse City Monday and went to lunch with mom. We did a little shopping. But it wasn’t for back-to-school. It was for over-the-counter allergy medication, a new ironing board and a file for the callouses on my feet. We stayed at home over the holiday weekend and liked it.

Lifeguard on Van's Beach could be a lifesaver To the Editor: Van's Beach in Leland is a very popular and busy beach all summer. After Thursday’s heart-breaking tragedy, I feel it is so important to have a lifeguard on that beach. They have them in Traverse City in the bay and Lake Michigan can be so rough. Also, some type of clear warning system on the beach not just in the harbor. My prayers go out to the family of Brian Rolston. Terra Moody Ski View, Cedar

If you are a schlub about repairing your car, you logically would go to your favorite mechanic for help. Finding an expert is the only sensible thing to do. So when it comes to governmental issues, why do common folks willfully ignore and even berate the “experts” when it comes to knotty issues that frankly the common folks don’t understand? Not only do they ignore the advice of those on the inside, it gets even worse. When those experts declare this or that, the public says, “Well if they are for it, there must be something wrong with it and therefore, I’m against it.” Two exhibits sit out there today. A battle over how to raise taxes may be in the offing. The Michigan Alliance for Prosperity, incorrectly identified here last week as the Americans for Prosperity, is suggesting that all future tax hikes be passed with a two-thirds, rather than a simple majority vote. All of official Lansing has come unglued with the prospects of this passing, but the louder the opponents cry out, the bigger the smiles get from the Alliance. It knows this is going to pass if it gets on the ballot. Exhibit B is term limits. Ever since the voters said yes to that in 1992, official Lansing has groaned a collective “ugh.” You’ve heard all the arguments against term limits, so no need to regurgitate them here, but regardless, the polls suggest the general public still loves the law as much as the insiders detest it. Now to the latest wrinkle in trying to change it. For years, the opponents have flirted with launching a petition drive to put this on the ballot. But the flirtation did not move beyond the licky-face stage. It would cost millions to collect the signatures and millions more to “educate” the electorate and even with that, the whole thing would likely die anyway. The latest strategy, which has not taken form yet, is to recruit some former legislators who lost their jobs due to term limits and have them file to run again. They would be repulsed by the local clerk or the state, thus setting the stage for a lawsuit to overturn the law based on the notion that no citizens should be denied the right to run for office. Former GOP House Speaker Rick Johnson in 2004 came “this” close to launching such a move. He had a GOP lawmaker, former Rep. Larry Julian (R-Owosso) and former Detroit Democrat Rep. Ken Daniels, more than interested, but Johnson reports, they concluded “they did not want the hassle.” Yet Johnson, now a multi-client lob-

By Tim Skubick

byist, says he’s talked to lots of “friends” and they agree, the courts are the only path to repeal. Mr. Johnson says you would need three or four former lawmakers from each party and from all corners of the state to make it work. He also thinks you need conservatives, liberals, and independents to give it more voter appeal. And he thinks he can ﬁnd the recruits among former lawmakers and perhaps some current folks who are on their way out the door in December. The strategy works because it does an end-run around the citizens and turns it over to the judges who supposedly do get it. And that giant sucking sound you just heard is from all the term limit backers squawking about being left out of the debate. But not to worry, Mr. Johnson says this has not even reached the “talking” stage and is only a “thought.” However from little thoughts, major change might come and if so, it will be the pro-term limit folks who come unglued.

more letters to the editor Obama’s accomplishments more like failures

Obama’s achievements are pathetic

Vets deserve due process; shame on county, law group

To the Editor:

Re: to Jay Johnson of Empire. These are “accomplishments?” Well, here goes. Iraq War ended —we bugged out. Al Awaki and bin Laden dead — because of Bush era intel ops. Egypt, Libya and Tunisia democracies? More like Muslim Brotherhood terrorist states. Auto industry saved — propped up with taxpayer money after stiffing the bondholders. Extended UE? Paying people longer not to work. Equal pay? For equal work there has been for years. Vets hiring incentive-ineffective feel good. Wall St. reform? Obama is in bed with Wall Street. Credit card fees? So you don’t want your bank to make money but still be there for you, right? Payroll Tax cut — cut Social Security funding by 1/3 for a measly $40/month. What tax cuts for small businesses? DJIA up — so? It is notoriously irrational. Medicare strengthened — that’s so laughable it hurts. Medicare is crashing and Obama wants it to so everyone is forced into Obamacare. Health care reform — more like health care destruction. Pre-existing conditions — meaning wait till you’re hurt, then buy. Lifetime caps-coverage SHOULD be capped at what you paid for. Young adults covered — ridiculous. Let them get jobs and their own coverage. Contraception — why should anyone except the person using it pay? Reproductive rights protected — meaning taxpayer-funded abortion. Children protected from deportation — so it’s OK to be illegal as long as you’re young? Don’t ask don’t tell ended — so sexual deviants can openly flaunt it no matter how disruptive or offensive. $100B invested in science and research? Yeah, in stupid things like “alternative” energy. Stem cell research — underway long before Obama. Fuel efficiency standards doubled — stupid and dangerous. People already die because cars are too lightweight. Dependency on foreign oil reduced — don’t make me laugh. Obama shut down virtually all drilling on federal leases. He is either a failure or a disaster; maybe both. Charles Knapp W. Harbor Hwy., Maple City

In response to Jay Johnson’s letter “Obama administration has had many accomplishments.” Jay Johnson attempted something even the Democrats are avoiding; touting Obama’s “achievements.” Let’s step back and look at these so-called “achievements.” We are on the brink of financial insolvency with an unprecedented $16 trillion debt yet Jay Johnson touts Obamacare which will take another $517 billion from Medicare and create over 20 new taxes. Jay Johnson touts Obama’s achievements with solar power, contraception and lifetime caps while America’s credit rating has dropped from triple A to double A. Jay Johnson boasts of Obama’s extending unemployment benefits when Americans want jobs, not more handouts. Half of today’s college grads can’t find work and unemployment has again moved up to 8.3 percent. Jay Johnson touts Obama’s bailout of the auto industry while GM still owes us, the American taxpayers, over twenty billion dollars and is struggling to sell the failing Chevy Volt. American jobs go overseas because we tax corporations more than any other country in the world. While Jay Johnson touts Obama’s improved fuel efficiency standards, Iran and Syria continue to develop nuclear missile capabilities, putting Israel’s existence at risk. Still nothing from Obama. Since Obama took office, gas prices have doubled. Jay Johnson claims that Obama strengthened Medicare and Social Security, while in fact, they are running out of money. The Democrats can’t boast about Obama’s “accomplishments” because they are pathetic. When you vote in November, remember Obama’s numerous failures and broken promises, then ask yourself, do I want more of the same? Vote for your country, not your party. Future generations will thank you. Jim Miller Omena Point Rd., Omena

The Michigan Veterans’ Preference Act, PA 205 of 1897, MCL 35.401404, simply states that honorably discharged veterans who are public employees cannot be disciplined or fired without a hearing. The Leelanau County Commission and the Leelanau Sheriff are now appealing to the Michigan Supreme Court arguing that a Sheriff has the unilateral power to fire, without a hearing and without any form of due process, a military combat veteran like Sergeant Kiessel, who served with distinction in the Gulf War. What hubris and lack of judgment, especially now in time of war. Even more disturbing is the fact that 82 other Michigan Sheriffs have joined in the suit. This means that the law enforcers believe that they are above the law and want the right to arbitrarily fire military veterans without a hearing. The Michigan Sheriff’s Association is a disgrace and an embarrassment to every honorably discharged veteran in Michigan. Shame on them! It is even more disappointing that we the taxpayers are funding this bizarre litigation through the actions of our elected representatives, the Leelanau Board of Commissioners. I personally am a pacifist, opposed to war, but I have the greatest respect and honor for the men and women who serve in the military. I always find it very disheartening when we attempt to cut back or limit the benefits or privileges of those who have honorably served our country. God bless our military veterans, especially those veterans who are first responders, serving our communities as local police officers, sheriff deputies and Michigan State Troopers. They deserve better. The taxpayers of Leelanau County deserve better. Roger Dunigan S West Bay Shore Dr. Elmwood Township

We couldn’t have this event without you. I thank all who came and participated in this fun community event! Thank you one and all! Karen Zemaitis S. Fifth St, Leland Twp.

To the Editor: I commend the organizers and all volunteers who were instrumental with putting together an extremely well planned and executed Suttons Bay Floatilla event this past Saturday. The volunteers were professional, courteous, friendly and extended a helping hand where needed. The parking, for once, was directed toward the school where registration was conducted and transportation provided to the embarkation zones, leaving plenty of parking spaces in the downtown area for merchant shopping. Overall, everything ran smoothly and operated in a most efﬁcient and orderly fashion. I’m hoping for a record breaking performance and successful ﬁnancial goals for the school. Harry Brandt P.O.

Republicans — less regulations, lower taxes on wealthy

4-26-12

To the Editor: Social Security and Medicare are two of the most valuable (and appreciated) programs our government provides. Does anybody think that a Congress controlled by the current right-wing dominated Republican party would ever pass such programs? Of course not! So why should we believe them when they say they would defend them? These Republicans have made their aims clear — they want less regulation, lower taxes on the wealthy, more money for the military, and an end to domestic programs. The result will be an increasing concentration of wealth at the top, and worse income levels, education, and healthcare for everybody else. Barbara Abbott E. Horn Rd., Lake Leelanau

Romney’s economic plan doesn’t add up

Treeline Gallery

To the Editor: How will the Romney team fix the economy? Their numbers just don’t add up. President Bush admitted his tax plan would cost around $1.3 trillion, and within a decade these cuts became the biggest factor in the HUGE deficit he created. Now in 2012 the Romney/Ryan team claim their far deeper cuts will have a zero price tag ... Please, don’t drink that KoolAid. They plan to keep all the Bush tax cuts, and cut even more for the wealthiest Americans. They claim this won’t cost us a dime, a claim that defies all rules of math. They are not cutting any defense spending, and are not telling us what programs, and services they will cut. We all know their cuts will not effect the 1 percent. They pledge to eliminate health care reform, but won’t tell us how they will replace it. President Reagan’s first director of the Offi ce of Management and Budget, David Stockman says he’s outraged at the Ryan plan, and Nobel Laureate, Paul Krugman calls the Ryan Plan, the most fraudulent in American history. Romney say’s his plan is almost identical to Ryan’s. We need to do our homework, make sure we have the facts, use our common sense, and get out and vote. S. Kay Rose P.0. Box 26, Empire

voted millage in the August Primary election placed before them for the first time. The three-quarter mill levy will generate about $64,000, township Clerk Kathlyn Feys said. Revenue generated by the extra-voted millage will support the township’s contract with the Cedar Fire Department which is the largest single expense for the township. This year, the standby contract cost is $75,000, up from $60,000 last year, plus an additional $6,000 fire calls. This represents more than a third of the township’s proposed expenditures for 2012-2013. In related business during the meeting which was postponed one day because of the Labor Day holiday the

board agreed to waive the 1 percent tax administration fee it is allowed by law to levy to offset the cost of sending out and collecting taxes. “We were the last township in the county to ask for a fire millage and we may be the only township that doesn’t collect the 1 percent fee,” Feys said. The next regularly-scheduled board meeting is Monday, Oct. 1.

Kasson Board adopts millages for tax bills Millages that will appear on Dec. 1 tax bills were adopted this week by the Kasson Township Board. Board members, during Tuesday’s rescheduled monthly meeting, adopted operational and fire millage levies for winter tax bills which are sent around the first of December. The township will levy .6705 mills for operations, reduced from its 1-mill allocation as a result of the Headlee Amendment to the state constitution. The levy is the same as that collected last year and will generate about $50,000 for the township. The second levy of .7500 mills for fire and rescue services was also adopted.

University Extension. “In our region of Michigan,” Sirrine said, “agriculture is more important to the local economy than anywhere else in the state.” Sirrine said that local farmers he’d been talking to this summer reported that they’d hired fewer workers because of smaller crops. “Even if you’re not considering numbers of farm workers in the statistics, there are many other effects on employment related to agriculture,” Sirrine added. “Many of the fruit processing plants have been idle because of poor crops, and many other businesses that depend on agriculture have been affected, and may not have hired as many workers.” The EDC’s Hoagland stressed, however, that the tiny upward “blip” in unemployment earlier this summer shows only part of the picture. Although the unemployment rate was 6.8 percent in Leelanau County in July this year, it reached a high for July of nine percent just two years ago. At the time, the labor force was a little larger than this summer, at 11,511. The number of people employed in July 2010 in Leelanau County was higher as well, at 10,471. Nonetheless in July 2010 some 1,040 Leelanau County workers were unemployed, some 27 percent more than the 753 people unemployed this July.

Summer employment trends in Leelanau County appear to be improving overall despite a slight and unexpected upturn in the July 2012 unemployment rate. Between June and July of this year — when unemployment rates customarily drop in The labor Leelanau County’s seasonal econoforce my— the rate ticked from 6.5 to increased upward 6.8 percent, according to the latest staand so tistics released by did the the Northwest number Michigan Council of Governments of jobs (NWMCOG). However, the available most recent numbers are no cause for alarm, according to NWMCOG’s Charlene Schleuter. The three-tenths of a percent increase in the employment rate between June and July was more a function of the fact that the labor force increased during that period, as did the number of jobs available. The only problem was that the number of summer workers available slightly outpaced the number of summer jobs added between June and July. In June, the labor force totaled

10,682, with 10,160 of those workers employed, resulting in an unemployment rate of 6.5 percent. In July, however, the labor force totaled 11,117, and the number of jobs available increased to 10,364, resulting in an unemployment rate of 6.8 percent. “Remember that ‘labor force” is defined as people available and looking for work and in our area that number increases during the summer and declines in the winter,” Schlueter said. “I don’t know why the labor force increase between June and July outpaced the increase in the number of those employed.” According to the head of Leelanau County’s Economic Development Corporation (EDC), John T. “Chip” Hoagland, the negative movement in the unemployment rate is much more of a “blip” than a “trend.” “The comments I’m hearing from business owners all over the county are that this summer was one of the best ever,” Hoagland said. However, one of the few troubled areas of the local economy in Leelanau County this summer has been agriculture, Hoagland added. “Some of the crops have been abysmal,” he said. While hot and dry weather may have attracted more tourists to Leelanau County this summer, the near drought has been tough on farmers, according to Rob Sirrine of the Michigan State

Unemployment upturn not a concern By Eric Carlson Of The Enterprise staff

What is the relationship between the heart and the mouth? There is increasing evidence of a link between the diseases of the mouth and those of the heart. A genetic relationship exists for both coronary heart disease and periodontal disease. Because of this, if there is a family history of either of these diseases, you are at a greater risk to develop one or both at some time in your life. Cardiologists, family doctors and dentists are aware of this research and it is becoming more common for the cardiologist to recommend a periodontal evaluation as a part of their heart care treatment plan. If you already have cardiovascular disease and/or gum disease you may be vulnerable to other problems. Gum disease has been linked to other systemic inflammatory diseases. Gum disease is not always easily recognized, especially early on. You will need a dental professional to evaluate your gums and bone to effectively screen for the condition.

and Hubbell’s order was vacated. Kiessel’s attorneys subsequently challenged that decision in the Michigan Court of Appeals and prevailed. Now, the county is seeking to overturn the Appeals Court’s decision in the Michigan Supreme Court. In the meantime, both Kiessel and Wright have been returned to full duty with back pay and benefits. They are entitled to binding arbitration under their union contracts. Arbitrators found that both of the deputies were fired without just cause. Although the deputies’ federal lawsuit against the sheriff, undersheriff and Leelanau County is slated to begin Oct. 23, it is not known yet when or even if the Michigan Supreme Court will consider the Veterans Preference Act question concerning Kiessel.

“severe misconduct.” Two suspects in a drunken driving investigation that Kiessel and Wright arrested were released without charges after the prosecuting attorney’s office declined to press charges because of questions about whether the suspects were arrested lawfully. Attorneys for Kiessel demanded that the county prosecutor hold a hearing to determine whether the sheriff had just cause to fire Kiessel for the incident as required by the state Veterans Preference Act. Kiessel served in the Persian Gulf War. Hubbell determined that Kiessel was fired improperly, and ordered that he be returned to full duty with back pay and benefits. However, the county appealed Hubbell’s ruling in 13th Circuit Court,

Attorneys representing Leelanau County deputies suing Sheriff Michael Oltersdorf in federal court filed a brief with the Michigan Supreme Court last week opposing the county’s appeal of a case that is either related or unrelated to the federal case — depending which set of attorneys you ask. Legal Attorney Michael filings Dettmer, who is repreSgt. James on eve senting Kiessel and three other in the federal of ‘cop deputies case, is also one of the attorneys representing case’ Kiessel in the state trial court case. Dettmer told the Enterprise last week that he wanted to counter assertions made by the county’s attorney, Bonnie Toskey, that the federal litigation has nothing to do with the case the county now wants to take to the Michigan Supreme Court. “I was taken aback to read the county attorney’s denial of relevancy,” Dettmer said. “For what other reason would she and Mr. (Christopher) Cooke (another county attorney) expend the county’s money and recommend the appeal?” Although Dettmer and other attorneys are representing deputies jointly in both the federal and state court cases, the county’s attorneys, Toskey and Cooke, work for separate law firms. Toskey asserted last month that her case in state court is “totally unrelated” to Cooke’s federal case, and that he was not coordinating with Cooke. “My only other observation is why would (Leelanau) County want to dishonor any honorably discharged veteran by denying him or her right to a fair hearing before proposing a disciplinary action?” Dettmer asked. “It seems incomprehensible and an affront to all our veterans in this time of global conflict.” The Michigan Supreme Court is being asked by attorneys representing the county and the sheriff to determine whether Leelanau County prosecuting attorney Joseph Hubbell had the right under the state Veterans Preference Act to overturn a decision by the sheriff to fire Kiessel.

Kiessel and three other deputies have alleged in federal court that the sheriff, undersheriff Scott Wooters and Leelanau County violated deputies’ civil rights by recording and listening to “private” phone calls deputies made on government phone lines in the county Law Enforcement Center during duty hours. The deputies also allege the sheriff retaliated against them for speaking out against him, and interfered with their rights to free speech and union affiliation. That case was filed in March 2009 and is slated to go to trial in a federal courtroom in Grand Rapids next month. In 2010, Oltersdorf fired Kiessel and one of the other deputies involved in the federal lawsuit, Duane Wright, because of what the sheriff termed

A new topical gel now available by prescription significantly decreases the amount of time needed to treat actinic keratosis, a skin condition that is a common precursor to skin cancer, according to a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine. Actinic keratoses are premalignant ski lesions very common in fair-skinned individuals who always burn and rarley tan. It is the most common precursor to sun-related squamous-cell carcinoma, the second most common type of skin cancer. Current topical medications to treat actinic keratosis often cause skin irritation and result in many patients not completing the full treatment regimen. Topical gels are used as an alternative treatment to cryosurgery, a method of freezing lesions using liquid nitrogen as the cooling solution, to destroy the precancerous skin lesions. Cryosurgery is the most common form of treatment, but is only practical in treating areas with single lesions, not multiple lesions. *** Inhaled interferon-gamma may be an effective treatment for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a chronic and progressive form of lung disease caused by excessive formation of fibrotic, or scar tissue, in the lungs, according to an article published in Journal of Aerosol Medicine and Pulmonary Drug Delivery. *** A combined therapy of common acne medications was shown to be a potent regimen for treating patients with severe facial acne, according to two studies published in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology and Journal of Dermatological Treatment. The companion studies found that a therapy of the topical Epiduo Gel containing adapalene and benzoyl peroxide and the antibiotic doxycycline proved more effective at reducing acne lesions compared to other treatment regimens. *** Brought to you as a public service by

visited township board meetings around the county and plans to make an appearance at this month’s county Board of Commissioners meeting to make sure officials know how disturbing fireworks are. And he thinks that everyone who doesn’t like the 2 a.m. explosions should do the same. “I just think it’s rude, it’s unconscionable really, that people take it upon themselves to disturb other people for their own pleasure,” Shaw said. “These things are really harmful. They cause some people some distress.” Sharry agrees. “They’re just terrorizing people, pets and wildlife,” she said.

ation, he said. When people want to make a complaint they should call their state senators and representatives, no matter what time it is, and leave a message, he said. They should also write letters and send emails, he said. “They are the only ones that are going to be able to fix this,” Oltersdorf said. “Bottom line, it needs to be rescinded.” Oltersdorf said when a deputy goes on a call they can’t tell whether legal or illegal fireworks are being ignited by the noise they make. And they can’t do an illegal search and seizure or arbitrarily go on private property, he said. “Just because there’s a loud boom doesn’t mean it’s against the law,” he said. And frankly, fireworks are a low priority as there are not enough deputies to investigate each incident, he said. The ire over fireworks is not limited to Leelanau County. Municipalities around the state have called on Snyder and the Michigan Legislature to repeal the act or have adopted their own ordinances outlawing fireworks, though state law specifies that they cannot be banned on the day before, the day of or the day after a national holiday. There is even a petition Michigan residents can sign that calls for repeal of the Fireworks Safety Act. The petition can be found online at www. signon.org. So far nearly 6,000 people have signed the petition, which will be turned over to the state legislature by its author, Brad Lang, who declined to comment for this story. In the meantime, all signatures are being delivered electronically to the governor and legislators, Lang said. There is also a newly appointed committee of four state representatives who plan to review the new law. They are David Rutledge, Ypsilanti; Hugh Crawford, Novi; Haugh, Roseville; and Wayne A. Schmidt, Traverse City. The group will likely meet for the first time next week, Schmidt said. “Right now most of us are just listening to constituents,” Schmidt said. He has heard from a couple of people who like the law and from several who don’t, he said, adding that people who don’t like something are usually more vocal. “But they have some concerns that are valid,” Schmidt said. He has also talked to 911 dispatchers in Grand Traverse County who have told him of the many complaints received earlier in the summer. The number of complaints have now declined. “This is brand new and a lot of people were excited this year,” he said. “Hopefully the novelty will wear off next year.” Some townships are hoping to get around the law by enacting or beefing up other ordinances. Like Empire Township, which is looking at amending its nuisance amendment to include ‘quiet hours’ when all loud noises would be banned. The amendment is aimed at fireworks, which have spurred several complaints to township officials. And it’s not just the noise, it’s the litter being left all over the beaches, officials say. Shaw has been busy all summer calling the state legislature and the governor’s office to complain. He’s been collecting signatures on a petition. He’s

Listening to the thunder of bombs bursting in air for most of the summer has several local people feeling unpatriotic about Michigan’s new Fireworks Safety Act. They’re questioning how safe — and how sane — the law is in practice. “This fireworks thing is unacceptable,” said George Shaw, of Bingham Township. “It is completely out of order. It’s been going for about two months every night. They’re very loud and they’re huge.” Elmwood Township resident Julie Chai spent many July evenings being awakened in the middle of the night because her neighbors were Empire shooting off fireconsiders works. And it’s not just firecrackadoption ers she’s been hearing. of ‘quiet’ It’s the “jet ordinance propulsive kind,” she said — the kind you would normally hear at a public display. “It just blows you out of bed,” Chai said. “You wake up wondering what gas tank blew up.” So far the legalization of fireworks sales previously banned in the state has bolstered the state budget to the tune of about $1.5 million and is expected to bring in an estimated $8 million to $10 million in fees annually when all is said and done. The law has legalized Roman candles, bottle rockets and other explosives that leave the ground. Things like M-80s and cherry bombs are still illegal. The state is charging $1,000 annually to those who sell them from a permanent structure, and $600 for those who sell them from non-permanent structures such as a roadside stands. Those who buy them are paying a 6 percent fireworks safety fee that is tacked on to the cost of fireworks in addition to the 6 percent sales tax. The deadline for retailers to turn those fees over to the state is Sept. 30. Chai said money brought in for state coffers is not worth it, as it’s not just people that are affected by the new law. Chai’s dog is terrified by the noise and wildlife in general is harmed not just by the noise, but by the chemicals the

fireworks leave behind, she said. “Are we just selling out our natural resources so people can come up here and have fun?” Chai said. “We’re prostituting our resources and the comfort and health of our citizens. And that’s a danger.” Mary Sharry, of Empire Village, has been following the Fireworks Act since it began making its way through the state Legislature on its way to the governor’s desk. “There is nothing about safety in the law,” Sharry said. “It’s a bad name. It’s deceptive.” After hearing the new law in action this summer, with blasts going off sometimes until 4 a.m., Sharry’s stance against fireworks is even firmer. She recently wrote a letter to Rep. Harold L. Haugh, who authored the bill. The letter was also sent to Gov. Rick Snyder and Leelanau County Sheriff Mike Oltersdorf, among others. “There are so many people in my small village of Empire who, in the interest of true safety and consideration of others, would like to see a total repeal of this bill,” Sharry wrote. “... I understand that law enforcement agencies wish this bill had never been signed into law as it has been almost impossible to deal with complaints that have arisen over individuals who set off fireworks that sound like bombs.” In July and August, some 41 calls were made to 911 by people complaining about fireworks, said Tom Skowronski, emergency services and 911 director for Leelanau County. While there are complaints every year about fireworks, this year is worse. And calls came in all day long, not just late at night, he added. “Most of them were upset about the noise that they were making,” Skowronski said. Leelanau County Sheriff Mike Oltersdorf said he’s heard hundreds of fireworks complaints over the summer. “It’s probably the No. 1 issue in this county right now that has more people riled up than anything,” said Oltersdorf, who was against passage of the Fireworks Act from the beginning. But the Sheriff’s Office is not the unit of government to remedy the situ-

G-L off to 2-0 start, Norse loom

Comets shutdown by Sabres in showdown

By Amy Hubbell Of The Enterprise staff

The ball didn’t bounce Leland’s way Tuesday in an early Northwest Conference boys soccer showdown with Traverse City Christian. The host Comets fell 3-0, but there’s going to be at least one rematch Thursday, Sept. 27. The two teams could also meet Saturday in the TC Cup at the TBAYS soccer complex. TC Christian led 1-0 on a free kick outside the 18-yard line by Paul Bump midway through the first half. The Sabres doubled the score on a freak deflection that caught keeper Mike Farese out of the net in the 26th minute. The visitors added a final goal by Jared Argyle in the 70th minute. “A few bounces went our way, but Leland is playing a nice floor game and that’s a good compliment,” TC Christian coach Ron Christie said. “It was good to have some real solid soccer here today. “They never let up.” Leland coach Joe Burda concurred, although it was little consolation. “I told them at halftime that they needed to be hungry, to be more aggressive,” Burda said. “They did pick it up in the second half, but it was too late against a team like Christian.” Burda admitted the Comets were a bit unlucky, but he wasn’t making excuses for the Comets’ first league loss. “We were unlucky at times on both the offensive end and defensive ends of the game, but that will never be an excuse,” Burda said. “Christian showed up and wanted to win. “I don’t know that we shared that same desire tonight. They were the aggressive team and we waited and

Norse salvage tie against Lakers By Mike Spencer Of The Enterprise staff

Suttons Bay’s unbeaten streak over Glen Lake in boys soccer is still intact, just barely. The Norse grasped a 1-1 tie from the jaws of defeat Tuesday night as senior captain Eric Chapman riﬂed a long shot with just under four minutes to play in the Northwest Conference battle among rivals. “I was proud of the way we battled back,” said Ben Darling, Suttons Bay’s ﬁrst-year coach. “It’s tough to give up a goal late, but I was pleased to see us stick to the game plan and continue to work to get one in.” Chapman’s long shot, estimated to

be at least 35 yards out, scooted through the Glen Lake defense and keeper Ryan Tondreau. It was his ﬁrst goal of the year. “I was glad to see Eric let one go from a distance because I’ve been trying to get him to do that ... test the keeper,” Darling said. “It looked like maybe there was some missed communication among the defenders. “I think the grass helped us out a little bit there and I think it surprised the keeper how quickly it came to him.” “I wasn’t really expecting to score,” Chapman said. “I had one guy in my face and it wasn’t the best shot. “I expected the keeper to save it, but (Concluded on Page 15)

watched. If you don’t want it more, you won’t get the lucky bounces.” Leland had several good scoring chances, a header that went over the top of the net and two balls that clanged the goalpost — all in the second half. “We made some technical changes and we made some subbing that we hoped would confuse Leland a bit,” Christie said. The Sabres, off to a perfect 8-0 start including two conference matches, had their toughest match so far. “We had two solid goals and one was a rinky dink, but oddly enough they count and this time it was in our favor,” he said. “We’ve had a lot of games under out belt, but this one was the first one with pressure on top of pressure. “It was nice to see unforced errors because it solidifies what we do in practice now.” As for the rematch, both teams have the calendar marked. “We get to see them again,” Burda said. “They are beatable and I expect it to be a different game.” The Comets, now 7-2 overall and 2-1 in the league, defeated Glen Lake last Thursday, 6-2. Senior Dylan Jolliffee had five goals and assisted on another. Matt Fleis added the other score. “We dominated the first half of the game, we let up a bit in the second half, but still finished strong,” Burda said. “Matt played a great game in the midfield. “He covered a lot of ground and had total control of the middle of the field, offensively, and more importantly defensively.” The Comets also host Benzie Central next Wednesday, Sept. 12.

Five was Glen Lake’s lucky number in a non-conference victory over visiting Charlevoix. The Lakers forced five interceptions and scored the same number of touchdowns last Thursday to beat the Red Rayders 32-0 and improve to 2-0 heading into this week’s Northwest Conference opener with Suttons Bay. Curtis Bunek and Travis Wiltjer, a senior/sophomore combination, steered the Lakers’ offense helm in the home opener replacing an ailing QB Carter Lee. “We executed our game plan well and were focused on playing,” coach Jerry Angers said. “Charlevoix has a new coach and a new program. They’re working on finding their identity. Hopefully, we’ve found ours.” After a scoreless first quarter, Bunek put Glen Lake on the board, running left 15 yards on a keeper into the endzone. The good boot by Thomas Waning put the Lakers up 7-0. Senior linebacker Mike O’Brien set up team’s second TD with an interception. A 21-yard throw from Wiltjer to Tyler Stachnik, put Glen Lake up 13-0 at intermission. The Lakers got the ball first in the second half, but couldn’t do anything with it, stalling on their own 39 before having to punt. Charlevoix, hampered by an incomplete pass and a sack by Dale Pleva which set quarterback Luke Klinger back two yards, was forced to punt. Bunek caught the boot at the Lakers 35-yard line and on the next play Trevor Apsey broke free to go 65 yards on an option left, into the end zone. Charlevoix went three-and-out on its next possession and Glen Lake scored on a nine-play drive which culminated in a three-yard jaunt into the endzone by Apsey, putting the Lakers up 25-0. “The kids believe in the program. We knew exactly what the game plan was and executed,” Angers said. “We had a couple things go wrong and worked it out.” Stachnik picked off another pass by the Charlevoix QB and returned it 30 yards for his TD of the contest. “Our guys lineup in coverage, disguising it well and fly to the ball,” Angers said. Overall, the Lakers gained 180 net yards on 45 rushes and passed three times for an additional 31 for 201 yards in offense. The Rayders had 81. (Concluded on Page 12)

LIVY HARNACK, 10, of Suttons Bay crawls through a barbed wire mud pit in the Warrior Stampede last month.

Suttons Bay girl’s summer vacation includes many life adventures, lessons Livy Harnack got a short break from her summer vacation last week. The 10-year-old girl may have needed a longer interval of rest, however, before starting the fifth grade at Suttons Bay Elementary School. Harnack just got back from out West and vacationing with her dad, Roger, where activity ruled her world. “Livy spends her summers learning about herself, machines, the great outdoors and how the real world works,” said Livy’s father, editor and publisher of the Omak-Okanogan County Chronicle. “While other children are watching TV, Livy is experiencing life. “Isn’t that what summer is all about?” “I’m pretty active compared to other kids at my school,” said Livy, noting a few of her friends play video games all summer. “I raced quads, I did swim team. I did so much that I can’t remember. “It’s been an amazing summer.” Few kids these days can say they went backpacking and hiking overnight in the mountains, swam in competitive meets, raced a four-wheeler and for the finale — an extreme obstacle course race on Aug. 18. Harnack finished 11th in her division in the Warrior Stampede with a time of 26 minutes, 50 seconds. On the children’s course, competitors climbed walls, ran through tires, scrambled over hay bales 12 feet high and through fruit bins filled with water and apples. The race concluded with a crawl under barbed wire through a mud pit and a sprint through flaming logs. “It was very tough, very rough and a few sharp edges that were not my favorite,” said Harnack, who said her first obstacle course may not be her last. “It was full of obstacles.

LIVY HARNACK relaxes while looking through her scrap book and some photos back at home after a grueling summer vacation.

LIVY HARNACK runs through an obstacle course that included logs on fire. “The walls were up to my chest. I had to climb over it.” Harnack said she’s hoping dad will sign her up for the adult course next summer. “There’s just two extra obstacles and you have pyramids to climb over and then run down Suicide Hill and swim across the river,” she said. “And I already swam across the river.” Livy, who is also the daughter of Gretchen Harnack of Suttons Bay, had planned to compete in stand-up Jet Ski competition, however, her Jet Ski overheated the night before the race, damaging reeds and seals, dad said. In 2010, Livy was second in the Pacific Northwest for racing Jet Skis in the 12 and younger Junior Ski Lites class. “If I have her ski running right, look

for Livy to qualify to race in the IJSBA World Finals in 2013,” Roger Harnack said. In her quad racing, Livy made the top 6 during the Xtreme ArenaCross. But because she was so much faster than others her age, she was bumped up to race with the 12-15 year-olds. “Her 150cc quad struggles to keep pace with a 125cc dirt bike, so we are looking at either a bigger four-wheeler or a new dirt bike for next year,” Roger Harnack said. “Being moved up with the 12 to 15-year-olds is really tough since I’m only 10,” Livy said. In swimming, Livy excelled this summer, winning a stack of ribbons and medals. She started out with several top finishes and ended the year similarly. Her 100m medley and 100m freestyle relay teams took first place in their age division in the North-Central Washington championships. “Swimming was fun, especially on the really hot days,” Livy said. “You’d be eager to jump into the pool.” All the summer exercise is tiring, Livy said. “I do get tired and sore a lot in the summer because I do some many active things,” Livy said. The exercise regimen is a good thing, Livy’s parents say. “I think it’s good for her,” said Gretchen, who Skypes or calls Livy on her cellphone at least every other day in the summer. “Kids just aren’t as active as they used to be.” During the school year at Suttons Bay, Livy plays soccer and competes on the Traverse City Breakers swim team. “I’m not surprised by Livy’s activities,” Roger Harnack said. “She has been around motorsports since she was a month old.” At 2-months old, Livy attended her first stock car event at Port Angeles (Wash.) Speedway. By the time she was 3, she was riding Jet Skis with her dad. “And from just having been around the machines, she figured out how to start and run a Jet Ski on her own that same summer,” Roger Harnack said. Livy got her first quad for Christmas that year. After three years of learning to ride safely, she started racing at 6. “I’ve raced a lot of machines, including Jet Skis, dirt bikes, stock cars and snowmobiles,” Roger Harnack said. “And Livy’s grandfather also raced motorcycles. “So, I guess you can say motorsports are in her blood.” As for Livy’s summers, her dad couldn’t be prouder. “Livy is very competitive and it shows in her swimming, Jet Ski, quad and, now, obstacle course racing,” dad said. “She is a very physical girl with a lot of motivation.” And Livy couldn’t be happier. “I’m very lucky with all the activities I do,” Livy said. ‘My dad puts in a lot of work to make sure I have a good summer.” “I give him credit for that,” Gretchen admitted.

LAKER COACH Jerry Angers surveys the field while Charlevoix attempts to drive down the field to cut the Glen Lake lead.

IT WAS tackling by committee last Thursday as senior Mike O’Brien gets some help from a Laker teammate pulling down a Charlevoix ball carrier in Glen Lake’s 32-0 victory.

G-L off to 2-0 start, Norse loom Continued from Page 10 Apsey lead Glen Lake with 76 yards on five rushes, averaging 15.2 yards per carry. Bunek and Anthony Czapek had 12 attempts each gaining 37 and 46 yards, respectively. Defensively, Stachnik posted two takeaways in the air. Tristan Williams, Elliott Bregni and O’Brien had one apiece. Czapek and Apsey had five tackles each, Bunek, Bregni, Stachnik and Waning all had four. The Lakers have an opportunity to go 3-0 for the second-straight year when cross-county rival Suttons Bay makes the trip to Maple City Friday. The Norse have fallen to their first two season opponents, Evart and Kalkaska, by a combined 76-7 margin. Suttons Bay quarterback Sean Lammy was injured in the first contest

and did not play in the Bay’s game against Kaski last Thursday. Although the Norse have had lopsided losses in their ﬁrst two outings, Angers said his team is focused on its mission to win the Northwest Conference. And topping Suttons Bay Friday would be the ﬁrst step toward this goal. “It’s Leelanau County bragging rights for the next 365 days,” said the coach, whose team regained the coveted cherry bucket trophy last season after nine years in the possession of the Norse. Although Suttons Bay appears to be having a down year, coaches will be reminding players to stay focused and not take their rival for granted. “They might be having a down year, but it’s Suttons Bay and they’re right on the other side of Lake Leelanau,” Angers said.

Suttons Bay, after 0-2 start, faces challenge at Glen Lake By Alan Campbell Of The Enterprise staff

Getting up to play Glen Lake? Not a problem. Having the personnel to pull off a win against their cross-county rivals? Problematic. Hard-luck Suttons Bay, whose first three opponents on the football schedule have yet to lose or even have a close game, will travel Friday to Glen Lake. The Norsemen dominated the series during the past decade, but lost last year to the Lakers, 24-7. Glen Lake, Kalkaska and Evart — Suttons Bay’s first three opponents — are collectively 6-0 this year. The Norsemen are 0-2, including a 39-7 loss at Kalkaska Friday that was over long before halftime. Which is unfortunate, because Suttons Bay more than held its own

in the scoreless second half while putting together drives that placed the Norsemen in scoring positions. “It was a back-and-forth battle in the second half, and we did a much better job containing their offense,” said Suttons Bay coach Joe Trudeau. “We had a couple drives that we got first downs in a row, and ate up the clock, and we kept our defense off the field.” The first half, however, was a disaster as the Blue Blazer’s backfield duo of 215-pound Caleb Hauser and speedster Zach Hill ripped up yardage. Hauser scored on Kalkaska’s first play from scrimmage, a 54-yard scamper. Suttons Bay went three-and-out, then it was Hill’s turn to score with a 33-yard rush. Hauser took a 15-yard pass into the end zone on Kalkaska’s next possession, and it was 19-0 before the Norsemen could record a

first down. The score ran up to 32-0 before quarterback Casey Cross, still filling in for starter Sean Lammy, hit Lars Thornton for a 12-yard scoring pass on fourth and goal with less than a minute left in the half. The toss finished off an 8-play, 65-yard drive that included a Cross scramble for 30 yards. Kalkaska, however, struck back on its first play following the kickoff for the last score of the evening. The game was cut short by a season-ending injury suffered by senor tackle Chris VanFraley, whose kneecap popped out of place on a freak play. The injury did not result from a blow to the knee, but from a block to his side, Trudeau said. After paramedics worked extensively on VanFraley on the field, the game was called with two minutes to play. He was eventually transported to

Leland grandson fares well in World Series Leland Township’s Richard Kiernan got a couple of unexpected baseball thrills this summer watching his grandson Danny enjoy a thrill of a lifetime. Danny, who played several seasons of summer baseball in Leland, was on the Fairﬁeld, Conn. Little League World Series team that went 2-2 last month at Williamsport. Pa. “It was really exciting,” Richard Kiernan said. “And Danny did well.”

Munson Medical Center. “We just said that’s enough, we don’t need to finish the game. Why take a chance of having another injury after everyone was standing around for 15 minutes?” asked Trudeau. Lammy, whose shoulder was injured in the opener, is still unable to throw. “He’ll be back. It’s a matter of a couple weeks,” Trudeau said. Cross picked up 48 yards on the ground in 7 carries, while Zach Rice rushed 10 times for 38 yards. Chase Pattison churned up 37 yards on 8 tries. Senior Dakota Beaton picked up 11 tackles from his defensive end position, while Shocko Shawandase brought down 10 runners. Claiming eight tackles each were Alex Crocker and Cluadio Ruiz, who also recovered a fumble. Now Suttons Bay will try to

pick up its first win during its third straight game on the road. Norsemen team members seem to be taking up the challenge. “We had a pretty good practice yesterday and today,” said Trudeau on Tuesday evening. “It’s a new season now that we’re into conference play. We realize our schedule was front loaded. The two favorites for the conference happen to be our next two opponents (Glen Lake and Kingsley). Our kids know that.” The difficult schedule could pay off if Suttons Bay can managed to pick up five wins. The scoring system for the state playoff system takes into account the records of teams played. “If we win five games, we’ll probably make the playoffs. We’ve got to find a way to win five,” Trudeau said.

Leelanau tennis team nets win

DANNY KIERNAN, grandson of Richard and Jane Kiernan of Leland Township, throws the ball in Little League World Series action. Danny Kiernan, now 13, played third base and batted in the No. 7 spot for Fairﬁeld, which captured the New England regional. “Danny’s a good little kid. He was a big bat for them,” Richard Kiernan

said. Danny’s ballclub was one of eight American teams in the Little League World Series. There are over 7,000 Little League teams in the U.S. (Concluded on Page 16)

The Leelanau County co-op, co-ed tennis team beat Traverse City Central’s junior varsity in its only match last week. The 7-1 victory on Aug. 29 included straight set wins at every ﬂight. The team was scheduled to host Charlevoix yesterday before traveling Saturday to the Northwoods Invitational. “Players are starting to understand that being consistent and playing with maximum effort translates into victories,” coach Tim Sutherland said. “Our singles play has started to improve as my players are becoming ‘greedy,’ and trying to win every point. “We are starting to understand that we can not letdown for even a point or two because it shuts down our opponents chances at a comeback.” Parker Kokowicz claimed victory at No. 1 singles, 6-0, 6-1. Leif Mohrman

repeated the score at No. 2 singles as did Kyle Hayes at No. 4 singles. Joel Sneed, at No. 3, won 6-0, 6-0. The No. 1 doubles team of Ross Guilbeau and Jamie McFarlane won 6-2, 6-2 and the No. 2 team of Braden Reed/Jake Duperon eked out a 7-6, 7-6 win. The No. 4 team of Ben Schweikart/ Echo Schafer won by default. “I continue to experiment with the doubles combos,” said Sutherland, with Evan Fink, Jake Duperon and Maddie Fink “playing some strong tennis lately.” Sutherland is just starting to integrate new players from the Leelanau School and Maria VanderWerff has returned to the team. She played doubles last year. “Maria is trying to shake off the rust after some strong play last year,” Sutherland said.

swing where the clubhead stays about shoulder height on the back swing. Then as you swing down and into the ball with a descending strike be sure to follow through and extend your arms and club toward the target but stop the club at about waste height. This low, abbreviated swing will help flight the ball lower and penetrate through the wind more effectively. Second, be sure to take an extra club and swing much, much easier than normal. I see most amateurs struggle on windy days because they over-swing and try to muscle the ball through the wind. This leads to an increase in backspin which will force the ball higher up into the air. The best method to employ is taking an extra club or two, swing low and easy to a waist high finish and keep the ball out of the air by reducing the amount of backspin the shot has. Third, I always lower my expectations on a windy day. I’ve learned over the years that it can be quite breezy here in Leelanau County, so I play conservative, don’t take any unnecessary risks and try to hit the ball lower and keep it out of the wind to reduce the chance of an errant shot.

The Leland girls volleyball team got an A and two Cs in the prestigious Pinconning Invitational last week. Those three wins against bigger schools should give the Comets plenty of confidence going into their Northwest Conference title defense. The Comets host Mesick on Tuesday. “It was a very competitive tournament,” Leland coach Laurie Glass after the Comets beat Class A Saginaw Heritage 26, 23-25, 15-10, and Class C St. Louis 26-24, 22-25, 15-13 in pool play and Class C Bronson in the quarterfinals, 25-9, 25-19.

She also had 23 kills, five aces and four blocks. Senior Brooke Olesnavage had 54 kills, 38 digs and 18 aces while senior Sammie Sterkenburg had 52 assists, eight digs and five aces. Junior Noa Yaakoby had 13 aces and 11 digs. Senior Maggie Osorio had 57 digs. Junior Caitlin McKee had 42 assists and Felicia Whittaker had 10 kills. Junior Heather Burns had a team-high seven blocks. “Noa continues to be a dangerous server and Andrea had a career day on defense,” Glass said. “And the girls played pretty consistently all day and are really starting to come together as a team. “We just need to continue to work on our passing and develop more offensive weapons.” Suttons Bay dropped two matches last Thursday in the McBain Quad, falling to Remus Chippewa Hills, 25-20, 25-12, and McBain, 25-13, 25-17. “We had a tough night with four starters gone and the alternate setter got hurt,” Suttons Bay coach Laurie LaCross said. “I hope we start moving in the right direction.” Glen Lake and Northport were idle last week. Glen Lake and Suttons Bay return to action Saturday at the Pine River Invitational. Northport will host Manistee Catholic tonight and then play Manistee Catholic on the road Tuesday.

The Lakers dropped a 6-2 match last Thursday to Leland after trailing 5-0 at the half. Riley Scanlon put Glen Lake on the board early in the second half with an assist from Johnson. Spencer White added an unassisted marker. Tondreau had 11 saves in net. “The ﬁrst half was awful,” Richmond said. “But something must have clicked because we were a much better team in the second half.”

Johnson from scoring in the 61st minute. “I thought I could come out and get it, but it was too short and then I tried to scramble back to the box,” Orban said. “Anders got through some defenders and tucked it away.” “There was a lot of traffic in there,” said Johnson, who took a cross from Reiss Skrocki. “I’d been taking shots all night and a lot of them got blocked. “But that one made it in.” The goal was Johnson’s first of the season. “Aaron was definitely out of position,” Johnson said. “I just had to get through a couple of people. “It felt great to score that first goal, especially against Suttons Bay.” The goal was bittersweet, however, in a tie. “I thought Ryan did really well in goal. It was sad to concede one at the end, but it was a good game and we’ll be back for them next time,” Johnson said. As good as Orban was, junior defender Shane Francis may have saved the Norse from defeat. His nonkeeper save with 4:30 to play prevented the Lakers from going up 2-0. “Shane is the type of player who is always in the right position,” Darling said. “We’ve been working on that and it was good to see it payoff in preventing a goal in a big game.” The Norse picked up their first win last Thursday, 2-1 over Buckley. Logan Mikesell scored both goals, one late in the first half and the other about halfway through the second. Orban had a half dozen saves. The Norse, 1-2-1 overall, play at Benzie Central tonight before hosting Northport on Monday. Glen Lake, now 1-4-1, is at Northport tonight and hosts Benzie Central on Monday.

The Northport boys soccer team picked up its ﬁrst Northwest Conference victory and there may be more ahead. The 3-1 Wildcats pounded visiting Benzie Central 9-1 on Tuesday to even their league record at 1-1. The victory followed a 6-0 win over Cadillac Heritage Christian last Thursday. “The boys played more together as a team, sharing the ball and supporting one another,” Northport coach Marshall Collins said after the Cadillac victory. “They really stepped up their game after the Leland defeat. “They had a desire to play and win and they played with a little more heart and a little more intensity.” Against Cadillac Heritage, Armando Hernandez had two goals and an assist. Alex Thelander had a goal and two assists. Marcus Stowe, Bill Stowe and Daeline Irvine also scored for the Wildcats. Andy Sleder got the win in net, stopping six shots for his ﬁrst career shutout.” Thelander had four goals and two assists against Benzie. Bill Stowe added three goals and three assists. Hernandez and Irvine also scored goals. Sleder had nine saves in net. “The boys are really coming around and understanding the game,” Collins said. “They are a great bunch of young men and easy to coach.” The Wildcats host Glen Lake tonight and Forest Area on Friday.

I thought maybe we’d crash the net and get a good rebound.” Chapman said he was thrilled to see the ball bounce past the keeper. “I knew we needed something,” Chapman said. “I have a lot of confidence in my game. “I didn’t know I was that far out. It wasn’t the smartest thing, but it worked.” “I was expecting a tight game and it was,” Tondreau said. “On that score, there was water on the field and it made it kind of slippery. “The ball skipped across and it was just out of my reach.” “I didn’t see what happened on their goal, but it feels like a loss when you’re leading with over three minutes to go,” Glen Lake first-year head coach Gavin Richmond said. “I wouldn’t say that we played particularly well all game, but enough to grind out a good result.” Chapman’s equalizer overshadowed a solid performance by the visiting Lakers, who took a 1-0 lead midway in the second half after senior Anders Johnson slipped through the Norse defense to score. The soccer match featured sterling performances by both keepers. Suttons Bay’s Aaron Orban had six saves, twice as many at Tondreau. Most of Orban’s saves came when he got a hand on the ball and deflected it either over the top of the net or wide. “Aaron was big for us back there,” Darling said. “He’s tall and as athletic as Aaron is, I wasn’t sure he was going to be able get to some of those. “But he does it. I’m not sure how, but he finds a way to get up in the air and make an unbelievable save time after time after time.” “A lot of it is timing and judging the speed of the ball and where it’s coming from,” Orban said. Orban’s performance in net did not go unnoticed by Richmond, especially when he tipped a shot by Jake Lewis that had top corner written all over it. “He’s got a huge wingspan,” Richmond said. “That shot by Jacob would have been on ESPN if it would have went in. “But he made the save. He was fabulous.” Orban wasn’t able, however, to keep

“Four years ago, Danny and his two brothers played here in Leland and now he’s on a field with 20,000 people watching. It was like a Major League Stadium,” Kiernan said. Kiernan said the World Series “experience,” for Danny included having Uganda kids wear shoes for the first time. The East Africans were even spotted drinking the pool’s ‘white’ water. “It was a great experience for the young man,” Kiernan said. “Everything was positive.” On the field, Danny was mentioned during an ABC broadcast after fielding

all three ground balls to retire the side. “It was bang, bang, bang,” Kiernan said. “The announcer said ‘This kid is unbelievable.’” The Kiernans were able to ﬂy to Williamsport for opening day ceremonies and all the games. But they had little time to spend with Danny. The players on every team were sequestered during the tournament and families were allowed only 30 minutes after each game to meet. Danny is an eighth grader at St. Thomas Aquinas in Fairfax. His brothers are attending Fairﬁeld Prep. Danny is expected to visit Leland next summer.

COME VISIT US! SUTTONS BAY students get off the bus and head for the classroom Tuesday for the first day of school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ďŹ rst day of school also reminds me of when our own kids were little and what a big deal this was for our whole family,â&#x20AC;? Arvo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That part of it never changes.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rain, rain, go awayâ&#x20AC;? is a familiar nursery rhyme that was not heard in Leelanau County this summer, especially in August, when less than an inch fell on the county. According to data from the NOAA, just 0.87 inches of rainfall was recorded at the Maple City observation post for the month of August â&#x20AC;&#x201D; most of which fell on Aug. 16. The county usually sees a little more than three inches of rain for the month, with the 20-year average being 3.35 inches. But thunderstorms were in the forecast yesterday and are expected for Friday, said Jeff Halblaub, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Gaylord. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That could bring some substantial rainfall if we can get some thunderstorms to persist for an hour or so,â&#x20AC;? Halblaub said. In Traverse City one inch of rain was recorded for the month and has been ranked as the 8th driest August

on record since 1930, when NOAA began tracking weather statistics there. The driest August was in 1954, when just 0.26 inches of rain was recorded; the wettest August was in 2002, when 8.07 inches fell. There was enough rainfall to prevent the devastating droughts seen just south of the area, according to the Gaylord service. But with several multi-day periods of no rainfall, abnormally dry conditions were seen during the summer. And dry Augusts are certainly not unprecedented, Halblaub said. In 1970 Maple City, which has been keeping records since 1959, saw 0.57 inches of rain, and in 1999 just 0.65 inches. A weather station located in Northport reported 1.06 inches in August; 0.87 inches in 1999; and 0.85 inches in 2008. The Northport station has been collecting data since 1987. Tom Adams, a forestry technician with the Leelanau Conservation District, said with the lack of rain heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not sure how much color there will be this fall.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really deďŹ cient in rainfall,â&#x20AC;? Adams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have some trees that the leaves are just not turning color. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just drying up on the trees and falling off.â&#x20AC;? Adams is also recommending that logging operations should wait until winter because the root compaction from heavy equipment used can harm trees that may be struggling to stay alive.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trees are extremely stressed right now,â&#x20AC;? he said. Adams says he has been out planting trees this summer and is surprised at just how dry the ground is. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just dumbfounded at how far down I dig and I do not ďŹ nd any moisture,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just do not know how the trees are still standing there.â&#x20AC;? The rain data goes hand-in-hand with one of the warmest summers on record for Northern Michigan, with nearly all observation sites reporting this year as being one of the top ten warmest seasons on record. At the Traverse City weather station, the average temperature for this summer is 71 degrees, tying it with the second warmest summer on record for the area. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compared to a normal average temperature of 66.8 degrees. The warmest year on record is 1955, with an average summer temp of 71.6 degrees; the coolest summer was in 1965, with a mean of 61.8 degrees. The hottest day this year was July 16, which topped out at 98 degrees; the coldest day was June 13, with a chilly 39 degrees.

Even though mom Johanna Goodrich has been through the drill once before, taking her middle child Ayden to kindergarten on Tuesday morning unleashed a whole new set of emotions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already got an eighth grader here at Suttons Bay right now, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a while since we did the kindergarten thing,â&#x20AC;? Johanna said as she clutched her youngest, Nathan, while simultaneously trying to give one ďŹ nal hug to Ayden. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ayden is deďŹ nitely doing better than I am,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a nervous wreck.â&#x20AC;? The story was the same for Susanna Harju who was also turning a child over to veteran kindergarten teacher Toni Manning. But 5-year-old Jordan is Susannaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest child, so this was a new experience for the mom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s excited, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very nervous,â&#x20AC;? Susanna said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He did go to pre-school with a few of these kids, so he knows them, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good.â&#x20AC;? Just up the hall in teacher Heather Fortonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kindergarten class, mom Annette Goodyear and dad Tim Swallows were delivering their ďŹ ve year-old son Dayton to his ďŹ rst day of school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He just grew up too fast,â&#x20AC;? remarked Tim. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But he is ready for this.â&#x20AC;? Indeed, like an increasing number of youngsters entering kindergarten these days, Dayton already has some experience going to school. In Daytonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case, it was 2-Â˝ years at the Benodjenh Center in Peshawbestown that offers Head Start programs on the reservation of the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa

Indians. Daytonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mom, Annette, remarked that although Dayton may be ready for kindergarten, she is not ready for him to begin school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my baby, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to miss him,â&#x20AC;? she said. A 20-year veteran of teaching kindergarten at Suttons Bay, Manning acknowledged that some things change every year, while other things stay the same. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Of course you always have a different group of kids each year and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m always eager to see who we have,â&#x20AC;? Manning said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What stays the same every year is the level of excitement you see with this age group,â&#x20AC;? she added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing.â&#x20AC;? Dad Abe Hummel was taking his son Dax in for his ďŹ rst day of kindergarten with Mrs. Forton, and couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree more that â&#x20AC;&#x153;excitementâ&#x20AC;? was the operative word. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dax is deďŹ nitely ďŹ red up for this. He couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to sleep last night he was so excited, and he must have gone through his backpack a dozen times to make sure he had packed all the right stuff,â&#x20AC;? Hummel said. Asked how he felt about his ďŹ rst day of school, Dax responded: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good. But this really isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t my ďŹ rst day. We already had a practice day.â&#x20AC;? Dax was referring to a kindergarten orientation visit to the school last week for new students and parents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve found that ďŹ rst â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;practiceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; visit to be very helpful at the kindergarten level,â&#x20AC;? said Suttons Bay Elementary School principal Roger Arvo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The thing I notice most about the ďŹ rst day of school overall is how many smiling faces I see, particularly here in the elementary school,â&#x20AC;? Arvo said.

THE LEELANAU ENTERPRISE

Thursday, September 6, 2012

Commissioners try to cut into 2013 red ink Michigan Employees Retirement System. Also, personnel requests from the county Code Enforcement office have yet to be dealt with. County Building Official Glen Dempsey is requesting permission to hire an assistant that would be given the same statutory authority held by his office. He is also seeking to hire a part-

Harvest the theme of busy weekends Continued from Page 1 tour follows at wineries across the Leelanau Peninsula Saturday and Sunday. For more information, contact a participating winery or visit the LPVA website. Bikes will command county roads the following week. Part of the projected increase in attendance for the 14th annual Harvest tour sponsored by the Cherry Capital Cycling Club is that all four courses run through some part of the Leelanau Trail, which had its last 6.5 miles paved in June. The other half of the equation is that the fundraiser for the Traverse Area Recreation and Transportation (TART) Trails, Inc., has grown steadily over the years, according to tour director Ray Landfair, “We pull people from Indiana, Ohio and downstate,” said Landfair, a member of the cycling club’s board of directors. “It’s a real opportunity for cyclists to see a jewel of the Midwest. “Most people can ride in this terrain without getting lost.”

Registration reached the 1,000 mark this week, easily surpassing last year’s record of just over 900. This year’s event will have courses of 20, 40, 65 and 100 miles, starting at 8 a.m. The shortest course is most family friendly, although the 40 miler will have some family entries. “There’s fun for all,” Landfair said. “People like the ride and the food stops.” The starting and finishing point for all courses will be Suttons Bay High School, where a lunch will be catered from noon to 4:30 p.m. by Catering by Kelly. The last couple of years, the event started at Glen Lake High School. “Our numbers had grown steadily, we usually gain 50 a year. And it was just overwhelming the parking lot there,” Landfair said. “There’s more room at Suttons Bay. “We’re close to the trail and the town and there’s little traffic starting out.” And of course, the Leelanau Trail is fully paved, Landfair said. “The first few miles of each route feature the recently completed paving of the Leelanau Trail, northern Michigan’s premier rails-to-trail,” Landfair said.

“The scenic terrain varies on each course, from flat to rolling with a few challenging hills on the longer routes, but all routes wind throughout beautiful Leelanau County, passing by farms, orchards, vineyards and through quaint villages.” The 100-mile route extends the furthest north, to Northport and the Grand Traverse Lighthouse. The only drawback to switching locations for the start is that there is no camping out at the high school like there was at Glen Lake. The tour, which has always been held on the third Sunday in September, is limited to 1,100 participants. “We’ve been pretty lucky with the weather,” Landfair said. “It’s a little bit early for the fall color, but if you pushed it back, you’d never know what the weather would be like.” For more information, email info@ leelanauharvesttour.org or call the TART Trails office at (231-4300). Registration is available the day of the tour, at local bike shops, and online at the Cherry Capital Cycling Club website.

time secretary. If both requests are granted, the code enforcement department would increase from 3 full time positions to the equivalent of 4 1/2 positions. “Right now, he is the only county building official, and by state statute there are certain things only a building official can sign off on,” explained Janik. In prior years, the department hired its own inspectors who could approve building projects and inspections; now the county contracts that work out with Dempsey responsible for signing the paperwork. The Inspections department is operated through a “capital” fund, meaning that income from inspections theoretically should pay for department expenses. “The good news is that inspections are on the upswing. The effect of that is there are more requests, and Glen is the only building official,” Janik said. The changes would increase salary costs to the department from $121,881 to $181,358. In the only other personnel change requested, the county Housing coordinator position would decrease from full- to half-time. The position, which is now vacant, was budgeted to cost $61,362 in 2012, of which $47,264 was wages. Its total costs would decrease to $20,286 as a half-time position in 2013. The county’s largest department is the Sheriff’s Office, which is recommending an increase in spending of $66,000, or 1.7 percent. The department’s budget

would increase from $3,891,815 to $3,957,855, if approved. Helping to hold down the Sheriff’s budget will be lesser pay to its top two officials following the retirement of Sheriff Mike Oltersdorf and undersheriff Scott Wooters. A county pay scale for elected officials is based on seniority. Oltersdorf was paid a salary of $67,664; incoming Sheriff Mike Borkovich will receive $62,354. Wooters is paid $65,463; incoming undersheriff Steve Morgan will receive $59,792. Most county unionized employees are in line to receive 1 percent pay increases, which were included in projected budgets. At the levels now proposed, the 2013 budget would require the county to draw down its fund reserve by $633,325 to meet expenses. The fund balance is now near its lowest level of the year, according to county chief deputy accountant Jennifer Zywicki — slightly over $3 million. Property tax revenue is pouring in with summer property taxes due Sept. 15. Zywicki said the true cost for operating and maintaining the relatively new government center will be shown in the various budgets of departments through a cost-sharing plan. The result is an increased fixed cost that is spread to all departments, adding an inflation factor beyond the 1 percent raises contained in labor contracts, she said.

THE LEELANAU ENTERPRISE

Section 1, Page 19

Warning precluded drowning Lake Michigan, the sixth-largest freshwater lake in the world, is also home to the world’s largest freshwater dunes. The big lake holds another distinction: It’s by far the most dangerous of the Great Lakes for swimming, due to undulating rip currents that are impossible for even the best of swimmers to fight. From 2002-2011, rip currents were blamed for 69 drownings in Lake Michigan, according to statistics kept by the National Weather Service. Most were along the east coast of the lake. A distant second was Lake Erie with 22. The number of 2012 rip current-related drownings increased by one with the death of Lake Leelanau resident and Leland High School student Brian Paul Rolston, who was swept away last Thursday from the pier at the Leland Harbor.

Charlie Belanger, marine safety officer for the county Sheriff’s Department since 1973 recalls several rip current drownings. One stands out. “I can think of one that happened nearly 40 years ago when I first started, and that was on Christmas Cove. The waves knock them down, and that drowning reflex sets in, and that was it. There were two swimmers. One drowned and the other nearly drowned. A passerby grabbed a branch, and floated it out to the person to save him,” Belanger said. Rip currents are sometimes improperly called rip tides, which occur in the oceans, said Tom Kelly, executive director of the Inland Seas Education Association. They are the result of wave action that pushes water against shore; eventually, the water retreats. “You have places where, basically, the

water has to get out. It is just trying to balance out the water level. It makes a sort of river, and it usually has something to do with the underwater topography where these things form, or a feature like a point or a breakwater that would funnel it out,” said Kelly. He added that swimmers often underestimate the strength of lake currents, and then put their lives in danger when trying to swim upstream. Instead, swim parallel with the shore and with the current until it subsides. “People shouldn’t be swimming in big seas, but people do that anyway,” said Kelly. “If they do get in a rip current and start to get carried offshore, remember that these things are relatively narrow. In a little while, you’ll be out of it, and you can swim back to shore. If you have no clue as to what is happening, you’ll panic.” Kelly said rip currents can be observed from shore. “You’ll see a disturbed area on the surface that looks like a current going out,” he said. Conditions were ripe for strong rip currents last Thursday, according to Tim Locker, a meterologist with the National Weather Service who is stationed in Gaylord. The Weather Service started issuing warnings for impending strong rip currrents two days prior. Locker said winds were running perpendicular to the Lake Michigan shoreline off the Leelanau Peninsula at 20-25 knots with gusts over 30 knots. It was also a hot day with temperatures reaching 90 degrees, pushing swimmers to county beaches.

Series of calls draw responders One man saved. Another lost. That was the story Thursday in and around the water near Van’s Beach in Leland. At 4:08 p.m. bystanders on the beach called to report a man caught in the waves near the breakwall. Cathy Wurm of Lake Leelanau was on the beach at the time with sons Benjamin, 13, and Andrew, 9. “My boys ran down the pier trying to get some fishermen’s attention and that wasn’t working,” Wurm said, adding that the near-victim was not jumping from the breakwall. “From the pier view, I could see him going down and up and he was coming up less and less.” It was then that an unidentified couple, a male and female, commandeered a kayak from a nearby home and headed out to help the struggling swimmer. “They worked quickly, got the kayak to him and brought him ashore,” Wurm said. “The fellow who was drowning couldn’t let go of the kayak. He was in shock. He was white.” The unidentified near-drowning victim, estimated to be between 45 and 50

years of age, was still breathing. He was transported to Munson Medical Center for evaluation. The weather at the time of the incident was hot and a strong undercurrent was noted. “It was definitely like fighting a river,” Wurm said. “We went out to our waists and that was enough for us.” Forty-eight minutes after the first call was made, county dispatchers received a second call at 4:56 p.m. reporting that a swimmer was caught in a rip current, again at Van’s Beach. Simultaneously, dispatchers received a call that the exterior of a building in Fishtown had caught fire. The Sheriff’s Department, Leland Fire Department and Suttons Bay EMS responded to the beach. Leland Fire Department and Suttons Bay-Bingham went to the fire. Sixteen-year-old Brian Rolston of Lake Leelanau had been swimming in a group of four family members, which, included his older sister and her fiance, when he became caught in the strong current. Another member of his swimming party tried to help him, but was unsuc-

cessful, according to Sheriff’s Department Lt. Clint Kerr. He was able to make it to the beach but could no longer see Rolston. The search for the 16-year-old Leland junior began immediately, and was stopped due to darkness about 10:30 p.m. The following morning the search, which included the county Sheriff’s Department, Leland Fire & Rescue, the Glen Lake Fire Department and the U.S. Coast Guard, resumed. A regional mutual aid dive team discovered Rolston’s body in six feet of water approximately 30 yards out of the mouth of Leland Harbor about noon. “This was in the vicinity of where he was last seen,” Kerr said. For her part, Wurm knew nothing of Rolston’s disappearance until speaking with others after she left the beach Thursday afternoon. “When we left we saw a couple of 10-year-olds walking to the beach,” Wurm said, adding that her younger son suggested she stop and tell them about the rip current. “I told them ‘It’s dangerous in the water today’ and told them to go home. At least I was able to warn them.” — by Amy Hubbell

Warning lacking at beach Continued from Page 1 happened. She spoke at a township Fire Board meeting Tuesday night. “We can’t let something like this go by without gleaning every lesson we can get out of it,” Och said. “It’s going to happen again.” A county 9-1-1 dispatcher called the Leland Harbor to request that swimmers be told to exit the water, Och said. Tragically harbor personnel have no authority to make such a demand, and the request went unheeded. Leland Fire and Rescue emergency service providers attended to a swimmer who survived. He was transported to Munson Medical Center. Geoff Niessink, interim acting fire chief, said signs should be posted at Van’s Beach warning people of the possibility of riptides during high winds. He would also like to see ring toss buoys on the break wall and at the beach. “When winds get up to 35 mph here … there’s not a single sign to tell anyone what to do,” Niessink said. Niessink also favored sending fire and rescue personnel to the beach during strong riptides to get people out of the water. The Leland Township Board will be taking up the issue of swimmer safety at Van’s Beach in the coming weeks, clerk Jane Keen said. Any changes in beach policy would come in the aftermath of

the drowning during strong — and predicted — rip currents. “We do need to talk about this as a Township Board and see what options are available for preventing something like this in the future,” said Keen. Keen also suggested that some type of system, perhaps flying a warning flag, could be used to tell swimmers about strong rip current events. “Certainly giving (swimmers) fair warning that it’s dangerous to be in the water is our job,” she said. Leland Township supervisor Harry Larkin did not return calls for this story. A flag warning system and beachclosing procedure were put in place two years ago at the one-half mile public beach in Ludington, according to city police chief Mark Barnett. Barnett said after consultation amongst himself, the parks department director, city manager and fire chief, the city may close down the beach to swimming. The process is triggered by reports of near-drownings, observations of a strong undertow, and National Weather Service warnings. Visitors may still use other portions of the city park. Ludingington also installed 11 safety centers along the beach that contain ringtoss buoys, flag poles and instructional signs explaining how to swim out of rip currents. Warning flags are flown when

rip currents pose a danger to swimmers. Barnett said theft of the life rings has been minimal. “Initially, we did have a problem, and people would pitch them in the harbor, and you would have to go out there and bring them back. But all in all, people have been respectful of them,” Barnett said. The city also keeps life rings on its piers. Barnett scoffs at suggestions that swimmers should be left on their own to take risks during strong rip currents. He said beaches need to be closed in dangerous situations to protect first responders. “It’s always a good theoretical position to take, but the reality is when someone is stupid enough to get themselves in that situation, then we need to send someone out to save them,” he said. The Ludington public shoreline has been closed off to swimming three times this summer, Barnett said. Leelanau County Sheriff Mike Oltersdorf said his office has no jurisdiction to force swimmers out of the water, and was not called in to assist at Leland. “The weather conditions change pretty fast on the big lake, and you have to take everything into consideration when you go into the water ... it was unfortunate in this particular case. The weather conditions were detrimental to this young man, and it’s very sad,” Oltersdorf said.

GARY CIAGLASKI of Bingham Township drowned Friday while fishing on West Grand Traverse Bay.

Second drowning Continued from Page 1 2008 he moved to Leelanau County where he first visited as a high school student to ski at SugarLoaf Resort. “Fishing is what he retired to do,” Scott Ciaglaski said. Ciaglaski was fishing alone in his boat shortly before 10 a.m. Friday morning when his sons believe he encountered “equipment problems” with his down riggers. “Somehow one of his rod holders snapped and started to go in the water,” Scott Ciaglaski said. “I know he wouldn’t have wanted to lose it,” Residents along the shore called the 911 dispatch center reporting that they heard a boater calling for help approximately 500 to 600 feet from the shore. When county marine deputies arrived, the boat was still under power with no one on board. County marine safety commander Charlie Belanger said Ciaglaski’s 16-foot-, stern drive boat was moving at a trolling speed when approached by a Sheriff’s Office rescue team. Deputies were able to pull alongside the boat, and Belanger stepped aboard. Belanger said it remains uncertain as to whether the cries for help started while Ciaglaski was aboard the boat, or while he was in the water. The search, which included the county Sheriff’s Department, marine patrol and dive team, the Michigan State Police Dive team and Suttons Bay Fire and Rescue, continued until

dark Friday. They resumed Saturday and continued into Sunday before Ciaglaski’s body was located at 3:40 p.m. in about 30 feet of water. Medical Examiner Matthew Houghton identified the cause of death as drowning. No foul play was suspected. Ciaglaski, a native of Redford, Mich., was known for painting “launch cars” exhibited by Ford in car shows. “He was proudest of his work on the GT 90,” his son said. Ciaglaski was also an artist, known for his work on custom business signs, which he did as a side business. Athletically, Ciaglaski was known for his skills playing GUTS frisbee, a team game in which participants throw and catch frisbees tossed at a high rate of speed. He traveled to London as a member of TEAM USA GUTS and was a member of the U.S. GUTS Players Association hall of fame. Although saddened by the loss of their father, Scott and Kirk Ciaglaski, ages 23 and 25 respectively, are comforted by the fact that the elder Ciaglaski died doing something he loved. “My grandmother had a lengthy illness and that’s something he never wanted to endure,” Scott said. “It couldn’t have happened in a better way. I just wish it could have been a couple years later.”

Friends, teachers lament Continued from Page 1 everything into a joke,” Ciccone said. A blue piece of paper hung on his locker yesterday where friends expressed their feelings of loss. “You’ll be missed. I can’t forget the laughs we’ve shared,” junior Jesse Serano wrote. “I know you’ll find peace and that you’ll be happy wherever you are man.” Other students acknowledged Rolston’s ability to sense when they were having a bad day, and his efforts to cheer them up. “Your presence made school better … I could always count on you for a high five,” classmate Elizabeth Wiesen wrote. Noa Yaakoby, also noted her late friend’s perceptiveness and caring personality. “You touched the lives of so many people. Though we only got to spend two years together, you were always

someone to talk to about anything,” she wrote. “You will be so greatly missed.” Joe Nedow was Brian’s seventh grade basketball coach. “He was quiet, very respectful and loved to have fun,” Nedow said. The coach remembered Brian making his teammates squirm by demonstrating his flexibility. “Brian was double-jointed. He could pull his arms over his back and could do the same with his legs,” Nedow said, adding he got a big response from his friends. Nedow, who has two children of his own who graduated from Leland, reflected on the loss of a former player who he was looking forward to seeing graduate and reach maturity. “Kids don’t realize how short life can be,” he said. “Everyone thinks they’ll live forever and then … boom, they’re gone.”

St. Mary turns 125 By Mike Spencer Of The Enterprise staff

Dorothy Couturier is a bi-product of a Catholic education and the grandmother of five current St. Mary School students. And she’ll be the first of many to tell you that faith and family are two key ingredients to St. Mary’s success and longevity. “The discipline and education they get at St. Mary is tops,” the Lake Leelanau woman said as St. Mary begins its 125th year of school. “We are pretty proud to be entering our 125th year,” said the Rev. Michael Janowski, pastor at St. Mary. “I think our educational program is excellent and can compete with any public school’s standards. “Our teachers are committed and dedicated to what they are doing.” Second-year principal Megan Glynn, who grew up Catholic in the Flint area, said she’s also proud to be a part of St. Mary tradition and longevity. “I think 125 years speaks a lot to the community,” Glynn said. “A lot of places are closing their Catholic schools and we’ve been able to sustain it for 125 years and keep the purpose ... faith first. It’s why were are here and why generations come back. “Right now we’ve got great-grandchildren of the early founders in our building and that’s just amazing.” The special anniversary year will be celebrated in many ways, starting Friday and Saturday, with a special Mass, spaghetti dinner and alumni basketball games.

JANET LEGGETT, a third grade teacher at St. Mary, sorts out gift bags that students received on opening day of school. She’s holding one in her left hand for her son, Joey.

KICK OFF CELEBRATIONS St. Mary School will kick off its 125th year of providing Catholic education with three big events. • 9 a.m. Friday, Bishop Bernard Hebda will concelebrate the first school Mass of the year with the Rev. Michael Janowski. • 4 p.m. Saturday, spaghetti dinner • 6:30 p.m. women’s alumni basketball game, followed by men’s alumni basketball game. The school has come a long way since its humble beginning. It was started in 1887 by the Rev. Bauer and three nuns sent by Mother Benedicta, a cousin of the Schaubs, from Chicago. The nuns are no longer the educators. St. Mary has a lay staff of 22 in its pre-kindergarten through grade 12 program. But the mission still stands ... “to develop the God-given talents of our students spiritually, emotionally, physically, socially, and intellectually. As members of the Catholic community, and as individuals, we are empowered to proclaim and live the Gospel message of Christ Jesus.” “It’s who we are, what we believe and it’s a good education on top of it,” said Patti Shaffran, the school’s administrative assistant and a 1981 St. Mary grad. Her sons Tyler and Nick are also graduates. “I believe St. Mary will last another 125 years, I just won’t be here.” Counselor/librarian Donna Allington, who has been at St. Mary for 27 years, said the education at the Lake Leelanau school is special. “The kids are free to practice their faith here and because they are living in their faith, kids are more free to be themselves,” Allington said. Current students, sophomore Mara Popp and junior Christina Amalfitano, agree. “You can practice your faith every and you don’t have to worry about being denied,” Popp said. “I’ve learned so much,” Amalfitano said. “And it’s really fun. “You go to Mass and you know what they are talking about in the homily because I just studied that.” Amalfitano, 17, said she likes the education. “I personally prefer a Catholic education,” she said. “You get all the basic stuff you need to know plus the religion and the past. “It’s a good thing to know.” Allington, who started out as a teacher at St. Mary, said the school’s discipline policy is different than most and teachers don’t usually put students on the defensive.

Bishop to concelebrate first Mass at school

THE REVEREND Michael Janowski gives his blessing and a prayer Tuesday on opening day of St. Mary School.

Bishop Bernard Hebda will concelebrate the first St. Mary School Mass Friday at 9 a.m. Immediately following the Mass, the bishop will also rededicate the school. “It’s just a way of kicking off the new year,” said the Rev. Michael Janowski, pastor at St. Mary. “And the rededication and blessing is just a reaffirmation. “It will set the tone for the next 125 years.” “The 125th anniversary is a wonderful occasion not only in the life of this community, but throughout the Diocese of Gaylord because it speaks of what can be accomplished when generous hands and hearts collaborate to do the Lord’s work,” Hebda said. “At a time when many larger communities across the country have seen the closing of their parish school, the health of St. Mary’s School and its ability to provide an excellent values-based education is a living reminder that ‘nothing is impossible with God.’” Janowski said St. Mary’s survival for a century and quarter starts with God.

“First and foremost, God is directing us and empowering us,” he said. “Our mission ... is yes, education, yes, evangelism and faith first. “But it is the work of God and his grace that is allowing us to do this.” And the support of the St. Mary family is also a big factor. “The families are the second reason,” Janowski said. “We have people who are very supportive of the Catholic education and make it work. “Priests come and go, but the families and their parents are always committed to this school. You have a legacy and a history of people that have given time, talent, sweat, blood and tears to support the Catholic education.” Hebda agreed. “I am inspired by the dedication and commitment of the teachers and staff and encouraged by the vibrant support for the school,” Hebda said. “My prayer is that this good work may continue for many generations to come.”

If they are too hot to handle, hold them with a tea towel. If the chestnuts become too difficult to peel after you have done a few, return the water to a boil. The chestnuts must be scorching hot, otherwise the skin won’t come off easily. Once peeled, chestnuts will keep for several days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

The number of permits issued in the county continues to lag behind past years, but the estimated value of permits is nearly 20 percent higher than this time last year. In the past two weeks 17 new building permits were issued by the county Construction Code Authority bringing the year-to-date (YTD) total to 200. The value of the new permits was estimated at $1,205,409. For the same two-week permit period in 2011, a dozen permits were issued with a value of $248,010. Bolstered by two new home starts in Centerville Township and a commercial cheese aging cave in Leelanau Township, the YTD estimated value comes to $17,526,530. The total is nearly 20 percent higher than this time in 2011 ($14,511,504) and 23.6 percent higher than the value of the 239 permits issued by the same date in 2010. The following is a list of projects for which permits have been issued, listed by the community in which work is being done: BINGHAM â&#x20AC;&#x201D; James R.

DREAM COVERS

Gallagher’s primary win for treasurer affirmed; Empire race not recountable

Yale professor to talk about Middle East politics on Sept. 19 The League of Women Voters of Leelanau County is hosting a forum with Ellen Lust, associate professor in the Department of Political Science at Yale, Wednesday, Sept. 19 at the Old Art Building in Leland. Lust will speak on “The Politics of Voting in the Middle East.” Her area of expertise is the politics of authoritarianism and the prospects for development and democracy in the Middle East. Currently, she is working on a book about the politics of elections in the Arab world. Lust has studied and conducted research in Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Israel, Palestine and Syria. The suggested donation for the 6:30 p.m. event is $10. A dessert re-

ception will precede the 7 p.m. presentation. Donated funds will go toward developing an independent League of Women Voters chatter in leelanau County. Lust is being brought to the area by the World Affairs Council. She will be speaking at the International Affairs Forum at the Dennos in Traverse City the following event on “The Arab People Are Speaking, But What Are They Really Saying?” The event begins with a 5:15 p.m. reception and the talk at 6 p.m. Tickets are $10 at the door. No admission is charged for educators and students.

However, the county canvassers determined that the precinct was not “recountable.” On election day, one voter received two ballots which were stuck together, according to Crocker. He guided the ballot into the scanner at the polling place before realizing he hadn’t completed the second page. A second ballot was issued to him. “There’s no way to know whether he voted twice,” Crocker said. Because the precinct is not countable, the county clerk said the results of a random drawing on Aug. 14 which named Price as the Democratic nominee will stand. Price, too, will be unopposed in the November election. Based on the number of affected precincts, Roush paid $170 for the recount; Manning $10. The total cost of the recount, estimated at $2,000 will be charged to the county’s 11 townships, Crocker said.

The numbers changed a little in one race for treasurer, but the results of the Aug. 7 Primary election for two offices remained the same. John A. Gallagher III gained three votes in a recount of the Primary results requested by Treasurer Chelly Roush, who initially fell to Gallagher by 174 votes. The final tally, as approved by the county Board of Canvassers, was 2,608 to 2,431, with Gallagher coming out on top, county Clerk Michelle A. Crocker said. As the winner of the Republican nomination, Gallagher will not be opposed in the General Election in

November. Crocker assembled eight, two-person stations in the lower level of the county government center last Thursday to perform the recount of votes in the race for treasurer. One of these tables included Leland Clerk Jane Keen and Leelanau Township Clerk Deb VanPelt, who would have been charged with performing a recount of the votes in the race for Empire Township Treasurer. Initial results indicated a tie between incumbent Treasurer Cheryl Manning and challenger Bob Price for the Democratic nomination for the post. Both candidates received 90 votes. A third candidate, Jenny Munten, came in with 30.

themselves. The nominations must be accompanied by a copy of the bill that needs to be paid. Three Community Center board members will look at nominations to decide who will receive donations. And recipients will be anonymous, with only their nominator and the fund committee knowing who was helped. About $1,800 has been raised so far, with one person having received help to pay a medical bill, Shiffman said. The next concert will be held Sept. 30, though the place has not yet been announced. Posters donated and distributed around the Empire area by Field Crafts BookWear, a business located in Honor, will let people know where that monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concert will be held. Concerts have been held at the green space next to The Miserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hoard on Front Street, and at the Grocerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Daughter Chocolate Shop on M-22. Anyone who lives in about the southern third of Leelanau County, including Maple City, Cedar, Glen Arbor and Burdickville, as well as Benzie County folks from Lake Ann and Honor are eligible to be nominated for the fund, which is administered by the Empire Area Community Center and sponsored by Buckets of Rain, a nonprofit organization.

A little music goes a long way in Empire, where local musicians get a chance to do what they love most â&#x20AC;&#x201D; play music â&#x20AC;&#x201D; while raising money for folks who might need a little help paying the bills. The Empire Area Community Emergency Fund, which already has about $1,800 in its coffers, was the brainchild of Chris Skellenger, who has been an area musician for 25 years. Skellenger said whenever he would see a coffee can at a local business with a picture on it, he knew there had to be a better way â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one in which the donee could remain anonymous and not have their troubles out there for the world to see. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought there must be a more discreet way for these people to raise a

few hundred bucks,â&#x20AC;? Skellenger said. For seven months now, local musicians that have included singer/songwriter Emma Cook, AndrĂŠ Villoch, the band Freya, and Skellengerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own band Good Boy have played at various places around Empire. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We get together once a month and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an excuse to play music in random combinations and to raise money for the local community,â&#x20AC;? Skellenger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have an endless supply of friends who play music.â&#x20AC;? Concerts take place from 4-6 p.m. the last Sunday of every month. Musicians work for free and there is no charge for admission, though a pail is passed around for donations, which have averaged $300 to $500 per show, said Gerry Shiffman, who sits on the board of the Empire Area Community Center (EACC), the organization that distributes the fund. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a tremendous talent pool,â&#x20AC;? Shiffman said. The emergency fund can be used to pay up to $300 for things like medical or utility bills, or rent and mortgage payments, Shiffman said. What the fund wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay for is a cable bill, a cell phone or Internet bill or cigarettes. And cash is never given out; the bill is paid directly by the EACC. All recipients of emergency fund money must be nominated by someone; a person cannot apply for funds

Hubbell re-elected to prosecutor’s board Leelanau County Prosecutor Joseph Hubbell has been re-elected to another one-year term on the Board of Directors of the Prosecuting Attorneys Association of Michigan (PAAM). “Joe’s experience and distinguished service in Leelanau County will be a valuable asset to us as we strive to improve the criminal justice system for all the citizens of Michigan and work together for safer communities across the state,” said David Leyton, Genesee County Prosecutor and newly elected PAAM president. Hubbell, who has been the local prosecutor since 2005, said he was honored to be on the board again. “It is important that smaller counties continue to have representation on this important board which represents the collective interests of all prosecuting attorneys across the state of Michigan,” Hubbell said.

CR 618 between CR 633 and M-22. The Road Commission approved a motion to sign two cost-sharing agreements with Bingham Township. Under those agreements the township will pay 50 percent of two projects in the township that include resurfacing of about 600 feet of Park Drive and about 410 feet of Bingham Road. The estimated cost of the Park Street project is $11,800, of which Bingham Township has agreed to pay $5,900; the Bingham Road project is estimated at $11,000, of which the township will pay $5,500. Another project, the resurfacing of about 600 square feet of the parking lot at Boughey Park on Bingham Road is estimated at $1,300, of which the township will pay 100 percent. All three projects are expected to be finished by Sept. 30. M-22 will also get some skip-patching done between Suttons Bay and Omena, and some resurfaced shoulders on about one block in Leland. The Michigan Department of Transportation, which owns the state trunkline road and finances its upkeep, will pay for the project with about $100,000 of leftover end-of-the-year money. The state 2012 fiscal year ends on Sept. 30 and the state has money left in its maintenance budget due to the mild winter seen in Leelanau County last year. Both jobs will be bid out and completed this year.

they’re out by themselves and there are 10 kids in the car ...” The program is not new, Tull said, but it hasn’t yet caught on in Leelanau County. “This year we’re really hoping to make a push to get people involved,” Tull said. Tull, who has worked in Leelanau County for about three years, fills a grant-funded position to do traffic patrol on the county’s secondary roads. Part of his job is to get the STOPPED program off the ground locally. He’ll visit Suttons Bay High School when it holds its driver education courses in order to talk to kids about the program. Suttons Bay is the only area school that still offers driving courses for students. Tull knows it’s really the parents that he needs to contact and he’s hoping many of them will pick up the Enterprise this week. “The accountability involved in it is the biggest factor,” he said. “And I think it might even deter the kids a little bit. If they know mom and dad are going to be (notified) it might slow them down a little. It might even change their thinking process.” Parents can enroll in STOPPED by phone at 1-800-875-5500, they can pick up a brochure, fill it out and mail it in, or they go to stopped.michigansheriff.com to sign up online.

The Leelanau County Sheriff’s Office is hoping to get a new program rolling that will keep parents informed about their kids driving habits. The STOPPED program, Sheriff’s Telling Our Parents and Promoting Educated Drivers, is a simple one, said Tim Tull, a deputy with the Leelanau County Sheriff’s Office. Parents voluntarily sign up any vehicle that will be driven by a person who

is 16 to 20 years old, and get an identification decal from the Michigan Sheriffs’ Association that is placed on the front windshield of the registered vehicle. If the driver of that vehicle is stopped for any reason, the officer fills out a card that will be mailed directly to the parents. The card contains information such as the time, location and reason for the stop; the number of passengers in the car; and whether a ticket was issued. “It’s a lot of helpful information for a parent,” Tull said. “If you think

WALKI THE W from

THE COLOR guard from the Lake Leelanau VFW Post 7731 leads the way over the bridge in the Leland Bridge Walk on Monday. By Mike Spencer Of The Enterprise staff

QUEENS FOR the day, from left, Queen Salmon Chris Palmer, Walleye Woman Sue Reens and Miss Minnow Ruby Jaworski complete the Leland Bridge Walk.

It’s short and sweet. And the Mackinac Bridge Walk has nothing on the 14th annual Leland Bridge Walk. At least that’s the consensus of some of the walkers Monday after completing the Labor Day event. “This is the bridge walk,” said Diana Warner, also known as Ms. Smoked Chub. “There are other copies, but this is the original. “And it’s exhausting. That why we can do it only once a year.” The Leland Bridge Walk drew about 150 participants. It started at noon in the DNR Park between Riverside Inn and the Bluebird Restaurant with an air horn. It ended five minutes later, about five city blocks later, on the lawn of the Old Art Building with homemade cookies and lemonade. “In Northport, they give us a fire truck to ride on, but this thing we have to put out for,” said Warner, who walked the route with other beauty queens Walleye Woman Sue Reens, Queen Salmon Chris Palmer and Miss Minnow Ruby Jaworski. The first 100 participants in the walk received a certificate of achievement. Warner said the two other queen bees she walks with are selfappointed. “It really doesn’t make sense to have a contest every year for a

Leland Glen La queen,” Warner said. “We just show up and save the county all kinds of money.” Having fun was the theme behind the walk. East Leland’s Jon Markham had some. He took a mini-American flag and tucked it inside his cap. “It’s been going on for a long time, but this is probably our third or fourth time doing it,” said Markham, who walked with his wife. “We’ve never done the Mackinac Bridge because five miles is a little bit too far. “This is just right.” Leland’s Helene Mitchell, 9, sister Flora, 7, and Lake Leelanau’s Elly Bishop, 10, liked the dessert and refreshment. “We’re here for the cookies and the lemonade,” Flora Mitchell said. “It wasn’t really a long walk,” Bishop said. “But we got to walk in the middle of the road,” Helene Mitchell said. Karen Zemaitis, who helped organize the walk with her husband Gery, was pleased with the turnout. “It was a wonderful turnout,” she said. “I think everybody really enjoyed it. “They felt a sense of community in doing it which is what it is all about.” Zemaitis said the participation was up over last year, but short of the record 300. “We had people from 10 months to 90 years of age,” Zemaitis said.

“I think they just like to get together at the end of the summer. “Some are going back to their regular homes and some are just glad to say that school is starting and that we’re starting a new season.” Zemaitis said the Leland Bridge Walk is special. “We probably have the honor of having the shortest bridge walk,” Zemaitis said. “But this is definitely more fun that the Mackinac Bridge. “We have certificates, lemonade and cookies and it doesn’t take all day and you’re not exhausted.” Ray Franz (R-Onekama, Leelanau County’s state representative was glad to partake in the short walk. He is recovering from right knee replacement and plans to have a hip replacement in November. “We’ve done the walk at the Narrows for three straight years and decided to give this one a try,” Franz said. “This was a little bit easier. “We struggled through, but we made it across the 1,000 inches of bridge or whatever it is.” Franz said the walk is a great way to enjoy a holiday. “This is local fun,” he said. “It’s exciting and it gets everyone involved. “It’s a great time for the community to get together and that’s what it’s about.”

The 17th annual Glen Lake Bridge Walk took place under clear blue skies and over clear blue water — an ideal mix for the event that starts at On The Narrows Marina and ends less than half a mile later at McCahill’s Crossing. “The weather was perfect,” said Bill Thompson, who has been involved in the Bridge Walk since its inception in 1995. “It went off well. It’s just a great time.” JoAnne Wheaton, of Empire, thinks she has walked the bridge in every single event and she’s got most of the T-shirts to prove it. Why does she do it? “Because it’s here,” Wheaton

said. “Why not? There’s no logical reason. It’s a fun way to end up the summer season.” Her friend, Marge Secontine, who lives on Glen Lake, agreed. “It’s tradition,” Secontine said. The walk was followed by a free scoop of ice cream by McCahill’s, where people were asked to instead give a donation to the Glen Lake Fire Department. Thompson said he estimates that about 200 to 300 people took the trek this year, which is about how many usually participate. Walkers were led by the Glen Lake Fire Department and traffic control was provided by Sheriff Mike Oltersdorf of the Leelanau County Sheriff’s Office.

ABOUT 200 to 300 people walked across the narrows bridge Monday in the Glen Lake Bridge Walk.

A film produced by a county native will premiere Monday at the State Theatre in Traverse City. Journalists Jacob Wheeler of Glen Arbor and Aaron Dennis of Traverse City have produced a new documentary, “The People and the Olive,” which followed the Run Across Palestine last February and shed light on the daily challenges and realities faced by olive farmers on the West Bank in Israel. Wheeler is editor of the Glen Arbor Sun. The Run Across Palestine was organized by the Traverse City-based nonprofit On the Ground, which works to support sustainable community development in farming regions across the world. To raise awareness about the struggles of Palestinian fair trade olive farmers — and to replant uprooted olive trees — six American ultramarathoners set out in February to run 129 miles in five days across the West Bank. The runners faced barriers along the way — both physical and political barriers that represented a microcosm of what their Palestinian friends face every day. They forged deep bonds with their hosts while witnessing the hard political reality and uplifting beauty of life in the West Bank. The run was supported by the Palestine Fair Trade Association, a collective of over 1,700 small-scale farmers in the West Bank who have embraced practices to sustain their future and to sell their products worldwide. The event is sponsored by the Great Lakes Bioneers Festival and will also feature music by Jewish-American musician Joshua Davis of Steppin’ In It, who joined the Run as a musical ambassador, as well as a question and answer session with the film team, Run Across Palestine participants and special guest Nasser Abufarha, founder of the Palestine Fair Trade

Family gatherings highlight weekend in Omena By LESLIE DISCH Phone/fax 386-5686 email: phen.omena.2@gmail.com * * *

Labor Day weekend highlights included lots of family gatherings and the Floatilla in Suttons Bay. The weather couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been better for enjoying outdoor activities. Bob and Julie Krist were busy with visits from both of their daughters and their families over the weekend. Heidi Nelden was here with her daughter, Ella, 4, and son, Cooper, 7. Cooper was quite industrious, and collected a variety of special rocks, cleaned them up, and sold them in front of Gaudetteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house. Cooper even wrote a note to the Omena community which he sent to the Omena News column. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank you for buying my rocks. From Cooper Nelden, grandson of Bob and Julie Krist.â&#x20AC;? Cooper and Ellaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cousin Ben Goshorn, 13, was here with them, and they got to overlap briefly with Benâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister, Abbey. On Saturday, Ben and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Papaâ&#x20AC;? Bob were in the Floatilla. On Sunday, Abbey, who is 16, and her father Dustin tubed all the way to Suttons Bay and back, with her mother Jen as their spotter. The Gaudettes had lots of family at their house, and things were hopping around Dusty and Jan MacDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house. Jim and Kathy Miller had almost 30 guests on Sunday, from near and far. Family members from Traverse

City were up, and her brother from California flew in, as well as his children. Kathy got a fun surprise when her physical education teacher and gymnastics coach from her school days in Saginaw called and said she was in the area. She came over for a visit and they shared some laughs recalling those days. Lots of Omena-ites were in Suttons Bay for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Floatillaâ&#x20AC;? on Saturday, and everyone is hoping that the event succeeded in setting a new Guinness World Record for the most kayaks and canoes rafted together. Those with ties to Omena who were part of the Floatilla included Susie Brown and Dean Anderson, Helen Putnam Bradley, Carolyn and Dave Faught and their sons Sam and Will, Chuck and Janet Dickersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter and granddaughter, Rachel and Maddy North, Jill LeClair and quite a few of her relatives and friends, Michael Ray, and Bob Krist and his grandson Ben Goshorn, and Meg and Matt Wilkes. The Faughts also all worked the event night before and day of â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Dave directing traffic, Carolyn doing registration and Sam and Will and Carolyn hauling boats all day until paddling out to join the group just after noon. Chuck Dickerson also volunteered that day, selling raffle tickets. Everyone who was there, participants and onlookers, was very impressed with how well organized the event was. Congratulations to all

of the organizers and volunteers on a very successful day! Michael and Samantha Ray did the Mackinac Bridge Walk on Labor Day, pushing their 16-month Tatum in a stroller. It was a great day for the walk. It was also the canine debutante season over the weekend, and English Cream retriever Bailey Adelson was the belle of the ball. She was in town with her owners Mike and Laurie, and had a houseguest, yellow lab Nilla List, who came with her owners Geoff List and Theresa Plahetka. They enjoyed long walks and swimming, and the owners did a little wine and cider tasting. Bailey also enjoyed play dates with Lucky Smart and Shimmer Disch. Long time summer resident Ping Abbot died in Maryland the week before last. Ping met her husbandto-be Waldo Abbot in 1942 during World War II. He was serving in the Pacific Theater and she was a nurse at the 120th General Hospital in Balsam, India. She first came to Omena in the summer of 1945 to meet his family. They were married in 1946 after he returned to the US. She always loved her time in Omena. Our sympathies go her son Waldo and her daughter Brenda Anderson and their families. Mayor Maya and Annette Deibel are featured in the September 2012 Pet Friends of Northern Michigan website magazine. It is now available

at www.petfriendsmagazine.com. There is also a picture of Tucker Joyce and his family from the 2009 mayoral election. Ed Oberndorf is mentioned in the caption of the picture, but did not quite make the picture. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to believe that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hurtling our way to the beginning of fall. I was listening to the radio this past week, and they were talking to someone who was anticipating seeing the annual migration of hummingbirds. Then it hit me that those are our hummingbirds they will be watching, and they will most likely be taking off in the coming week or so. Happy Birthday to Terri Harris, Marcia Biskupski, Fred Holtz, and Jaron Huffman. Wow! There are six anniversaries this week. September weddings must be as popular as June. Happy fi rst anniversary to Tony and Amanda Brown and to Carter and Amy Smart Oosterhouse. Happy 20th anniversary to Eric and Kristi Hallett. Happy Anniversary also to John and Barb Harris, Allan and Joanne Dalzell, and Gary and Carol Silverman.

Buckets of Rain Fundraiser a success I think the Buckets of Rain Fundraiser on Sunday was a success. Boonedocks deck and restaurant inside were slammed. I hope the folks in attendance were generous. The music was really outstanding, we have a bunch of talented musicians in our area. Another Glen Lake Bridge Walk is in the books. Weather was perfect and it was good to see many hardy walkers that we recognize from walks past. The walkers ranged from kids in strollers to a gentleman who may not want to be recognized by name, but he is 92 and walked to the end and back to his car. As always, thanks to our Emergency Services for leading the walk and being on hand for any problems and to Sheriff Mike Oltersdorf for traffic control which he has done every year. The walk ended at McCahills Landing Dairy Bar for good food and ice cream. This was the 17th annual Bridge Walk and just as much fun as the first one in 1995. After doing some research, our local answer man and historian Dave Taghon has answered the question,

who and how were the Glen Lakes named. The answer is Mrs. John Harriet (McCarty) Fisher. Here is the rest of the story. Mrs. Fisher noted how the grapevines had grown over the towering pines and hardwoods in a quiet glen to form an arbor thus the name Glen Arbor. This was confirmed by 16 men who met and organized the township, confirming Harrietâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice of naming the hamlet as well as the township. At this time they also changed the name of then Bear Lake to Glen Lake, also attributed to Harriet. Thank you Mr. Taghon. Speaking of Taghonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Pat Taghon was the winner of last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Empire Lions Club Lucky Thirteen drawing. I hate to see businesses close, but unfortunately we are losing The Black Swan. The going out of business sale is in progress. Very sincere good wishes to Mark Deering, get well. The Glen Arbor Art Association will offer a fabric art workshop titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Quilt as Artâ&#x20AC;?, introduction to non-traditional contemporary quilt making.

Section 2, Page 13

There were many lost vessels of Sleeping Bear maritime historian Harold list it as the earliest. British writer Harriet Martineau, reporting on an 1836 voyage through the Manitou Passage, wrote of the Sleeping Bear shoreline: “Just here, Mr. D. pointed out a schooner of his which was wrecked in a snow storm the preceding November.” Harold said the reference was to a Michael Dousman, who had the Free Trader built at St. Ignace in 1829. Since final disposition of other vessels owned by Dousman was known,

Looking Back in Leelanau County… ed to be enrolled in schools in Leelanau County when the 1977-78 year opens for most next week. Some $3.5 million in tax monies, mostly local, will be required to operate the four K-12 public school systems and, in addition, two Catholic schools, two other non-public schools and Norris District in the Traverse City system will receive heavy financial backing from their supporters. *** The Labor Day weekend should be the third record travel holiday in Michigan this year as motorists are expected to drive 680 million miles over the 4-day period. *** A $250,000 project covering 10 condominium units in Elmwood Township topped new-building activity in Leelanau County this month. In the 2-week period ended Thursday, 29 permits were issued by the County Inspections Department covering new construction valued at $623,500. *** The sale of Steffen’s IGA Market, Inc., in Glen Arbor was announced this week by Mrs. Hazel Steffens, who had operated the grocery at M-22 and M-109 since 1945. The new owners are William Heston and his wife, Janet, of Chicago, visitors to the Traverse City area for the past 10 years. 60 YEARS AGO September 4, 1952 In spite of cold, rainy weather and the M-22 detour, a large crowd gathered in Suttons Bay Monday for the county-wide observance of Labor Day. Proceeds will be used for the Suttons Bay centennial in 1954. ***

Walter Sprandel, using an approved formula, estimates that attendance at the municipal beach in Northport between July 1 and Labor Day was 6,549. Mr. Sprandel, dean of men at Albion College, hired by the village council as lifeguard, said the biggest week was August 11-18 with an attendance of 557 and the largest day was August 8, when 200 persons were on the beach. *** Members of the Northport Chamber of Commerce decided Wednesday night to hold a mass meeting, probably in about a month, to present to the people results of a study involving the Northport Emergency Hospital. Dr. Joseph W. Christie, who founded the Emergency Hospital last year, has said that he must either have more space, or he will be unable to continue. The present hospital has only six beds. 113 YEARS AGO August 31, 1899 During the fiscal year recently closed the county clerks of Michigan issued 11,000 deer hunter’s licenses. The year the secretary of state has sent out blanks for 12,000 licenses and expects to be called upon for more. *** Judge Campbell, and daughter Bertha spent a few days in town last week. *** ADV.: “Geo. W. Fralick, M.D. Physician Surgeon and Accoucher Office at Maple City, Mich. Calls promptly attended.”

hull broke midships, Tuesday’s storm making a finish of her. The Onward being only partially loaded and having hopes of being able to get away was scuttled at the pier, and subsequently went to pieces where she lay. The respective crews are all safe, no one being injured and they are busy “stripping the slain.” We understand there is no insurance on either vessel, and they were quite old. J. Young Scammon — This 1854 wreck is cited not because it was a major maritime event, but rather as a vignette on early maritime life and improvised means of ship-to-shore communication involved in rescue of crew and passengers. The brig, owned by Hannah & Lay Company of Traverse City, encountered a northeast gale on 8 June and was driven toward South Manitou Island. Seeing the vessel in trouble, South Manitou Lighthouse Keeper Alonzo Slyfield, who had become keeper nine months earlier, signaled to the crew to send him a buoy attached to a rope. After it reached shore, Slyfield attached a bottle to the rope with a note advising the crew to “send word by bottle” on how he could be of assistance. He was told of difficulties with the ship’s anchor chains, and asked to “look out for us ashore.” Slyfield patrolled the beach until, an hour later, the ship came broadside to the shore. A spare spar was launched over the rail, with one end resting in shoal water. The survivors, including four women, slid down the spar. Slyfield took them to the lighthouse, where “we found that during my absence I had been blessed with the arrival of an eightpound, blue-eyed boy, and there was indeed a feeling of happiness in the station that night, and I felt satisfied that I had accomplished more that day than on any other day of my previous life. This depicts mid-nineteenth century life during days of settlement in Sleeping Bear County and infancy of Lakes shipping. Slyfield went on to accomplish more in his later life. Keeper Slyfield in the above account is the same Slyfield in Chapter Five who, as a 1860s physician in Benzie County, waded the icy Platte River eighteen times on a winter’s day while making his rounds.

5 YEARS AGO September 6, 2007 If there was a motto for 2007 tourist traffic in Leelanau County, it might be, “Forget gas prices, the sun is shining.” For reasons that will likely never be proven beyond speculation, business owners around Leelanau contacted by the Enterprise reported brisk traffic this summer. Consider these obscure summer statistics: A gas station that sold 150,000 more gallons despite recordhigh gas prices; a convenience store that sold 800 more cups of coffee and a ferry service that hauled 379 more passengers to the Manitou islands. *** It appears the road to Good Harbor Beach will end up being paved. The county Road Commission accepted bids for paving County Road 651 between M-22 and the road end where the National Park Service plans to make improvements. Reith-Riley Construction submitted the low bid of $25,164 for paving the unimproved section of 651. *** Foreclosure notices will begin appearing this month on 42 tax-delinquent properties in the BayView condominium development in Suttons Bay, according to county treasurer Vicki Kilway. The developer of the BayView project, Suttons Bay Development, L.L.C. headed by Marcus W. Yono of Brighton, currently owes more than $400,000 in back taxes for 2005 and 2006. 10 YEARS AGO September 5, 2002 Those who died in terrorist attacks in New York, Washington, D.C. and in Pennsylvania on Sept. 11, 2001 will be remembered at several services scheduled next week. Churches in Leland, Northport and Suttons Bay have scheduled special prayer services next Wednesday, July 11, to mark the 1-year anniversary of the attacks. *** Attorneys for the northwest Michigan branch of the American Civil Liberties Union have determined that officials of Suttons Bay Public Schools have violated the U.S. Constitution by promoting Native American spirituality at the school. *** An ordinance aimed at preserving farmland in Leelanau County — the first of its kind in the state — will be the subject of a public hearing Sept. 24 at the Northwest Horticultural Research Station. The ordinance, recommended by the county’s Farmland Preservation Board, provides for the acquisition of voluntarily offered “development rights” of agricultural properties and establishes a criteria for their evaluation. 35 YEARS AGO September 1, 1977 As many as 3,100 pupils are expect-

Harold concluded: “By a process of deduction, it can be reasoned (Free Trader) was the vessel lost at Sleeping Bear.” Francisco Morazan — Deduction is not needed about this wreck. The U.S. Coast Guard was called out when this Liberian freighter ran aground off South Manitou 29 November 1960 on the same shoal where the Frost wrecked fifty-seven years earlier. The thirteen member crew and the captain’s wife were saved, as was some of the cargo that included 335 tons of lard, 159 tons of hides, 95 tons of canned chicken, 26 tons of coin-operated vending machines, 3 tons of baled hair, 2 tons of bottle caps, and a ton of toys. In 1990, much of the Morazan was still above water. Walter L. Frost — Carrying grain, this steamer ran aground off South Manitou 4 November 1903. It was a total loss but all twenty-one aboard were saved. Like the Morazan, much of it remained above water after the wreck, but now is a ghostly skeleton whose submerged bones can be seen in about 25 feet of water about 100 yards south of the Morazan. Congress — About a year after the Frost wrecked, this 267-foot steamer caught fire while being loaded with wood at the South Manitou dock. Cut loose to save the dock, it burned to the water line and sank in 160 feet of water 4 October 1904. Onward and Skidmore — Both met the same end on the same day at about the same place. Otherwise, they were not particularly notable wrecks but are included here because they are 1885 examples of how vulnerable vessels were even when unloading at docks along Lake Michigan’s eastern shore. Furthermore, a contemporary account is available on these wrecks from a nearby newspaper published three days after the 21 September 1885 wreck. This is how the losses were reported by the Leelanau Enterprise: Two vessels, the Onward and the Skidmore, both of Mikwaukee, are complete wrecks, the former at Gill’s Pier on Lake Michigan, and the latter about two miles south of Gill’s Pier. Both vessels were loading wood at the pier Monday when a strong southwest wind warned them to take shelter elsewhere. The Skidmore had completed here load and was endeavoring to make away when it was discovered she had sprung a leak. The wind had hauled around to the northwest and was blowing a gale. The seas were driving with great strength almost defying an antagonist, and the captain deemed it advisable to run the Skidmore ashore, which he did, and no sooner had she touched ground when here

The earliest reported wreck in the Manitou Preserve was the Free Trader, lost in 1835. The most recent wreck at this writing is the Morazan, which went aground in 1960 off South Manitou Island at the site of the 1903 wreck of the freighter Walter L. Frost. Significant

new discoveries of wrecks were made in the late 1980s after the Manitou Passage became Michigan’s newest bottomland preserve. Following is a representative selection of shipwrecks of Sleeping Bear, selected by such factors as their historical significance, lore they may reflect, shoreline rescues and accessibility to divers: Free Trader — This schooner was possibly the first shipwreck of Sleeping Bear.

their dads, Bill Schaub and Ted Grant, were among the leading men. “My dad could sell you anything,” Couturier said of Ted Grant. “And when it came to the annual dinner, he’d be out in Suttons Bay on the corner selling tickets.” Couturier, a 1958 St. Mary grad, said she has many fond memories of her Catholic education which included helping the nuns make their beds and clean their sheets. “Penmanship ... it was always a big thing,” Couturier said. “And now look ... they have texting. “Life has really changed.” One thing that has never wavered, Couturier said, is the belief that “what you give to the church, you’ll receive back a thousand times. “It’s always stayed in my mind and I tell that to my children and grandchildren.”

What if I told you there was a well-researched and statistically proven program that can: • Increase the average life expectancy of your children by 8 yrs • Significantly reduce their use and risk from alcohol and drugs • Dramatically lower the risk of suicide • Help them rebound from depression 70% faster • Improve the odds for a very happy life • Provide them with a life-long moral compass Is there such a program? How much would a program like this be worth to you? What if I told you it was free, and only took about 2 hrs. a week. Take a look at the list again, it’s not a dream. The program is called “active church participation.” If you have any further questions please call Sherry Wolin 231/499-6055 or the Leland Community United Methodist Church at 231/256-9161

at St. Mary who has been at the school for 18 years, said her dad Rich Popp attended St. Mary and today her son Joey is attending. “I think the education is special because it’s based on faith and you can see how people are supposed to live and treat each other,” Leggett said. “And with little kids, whenever you can bring Jesus into it, it makes a huge difference, especially in their behavior.” Although parochial teachers are paid less than public school teachers, Leggett and Ireland said that’s OK. “It’s the kids and the families that make us stay. It’s worth it and our reward will be heaven,” Leggett said. “When you come to your job every day and you enjoy it, it’s worth the sacrifice in salary,” Ireland said. Over the decades, there have been a lot of changes and challenges at St. Mary. In 1888, the Benedictine nuns were replaced by Dominican sisters and an arrangement was worked out to allow non-Catholics to attend St. Mary, too. That practice continues today. St. Mary did not have a graduating class from 1907-1921 as the sisters apparently didn’t have enough credentials. Today St. Mary is the fourth oldest school in the Gaylord Diocese and one of 11 over 100 years old. Several additions have also been added through the years and fundraisers, like the Sweetheart Dinner in February, have helped keep the school going. Both Shaffran and Couturier say

“Discipline is centered around Christian respect and showing Christ to others,” Allington said. “When someone is out of control for one reason or another, they sit and write what it is they did and how they should have handled it and what their plan is for the next time. “If there are consequences needed, they usually involve giving to others to make up for the wrong or hurt that they have caused.” Allington said St. Mary has a “fine academic record.” “Our kids are not exceptional for the most part although once in a while we get one that is exceptional,” Allington said. “Most of our kids are normal kids.” Allington said parents play an integral part of the academic equation. “We have a specialized population here because people who send their students here are making a sacrifice,” she said. “It costs them money, it cost them time, energy and commitment. “We don’t get students here whose parents don’t care. The expectation that the parents have is that their child is going to go to school and pay attention and learn.” And there’s also a little peer pressure to work hard, Allington noted. “I was listening to a kid’s grandma recently and she said that her grandson complained that kids would get on him if he didn’t turn his homework in,” Allington said. “So it isn’t just the parents, teachers and administration that expect production and performance, it’s the rest of the kid, too. “There is a value from the peer group that you will do your best.” Cost for a Catholic education at St. Mary is $3,770 for a student of a parish and $6,934 for non-parishioners. There are discounts for having more than one child enrolled. Participating parishes provide tuition support and financial assistance scholarships are available. “I’m a big believer in Catholic education,” said Jane Ireland, an Ohio transplant who has been teaching fourth grade at St. Mary for 17 years. “I think we have such a big commitment from the community and the parent support ... it’s just phenomenal. “There’s something really special about this place ... I don’t know what it is and can’t put my finger on it, but when you are here, it’s like family and it’s always been that way.” Janet Leggett, a third grade teacher

RYAN DEERY, the new director of the Suttons Bay-Bingham District Library, reads a book to children at the Friday morning “Wigglers Story Time” at the library.

New librarian finding comfort zone on the job The director of the Suttons BayBingham District Library said he’s feeling very much at home in the community since accepting his new position earlier this summer. New head librarian Ryan Deery’s last job was as an assistant librarian in Montpelier, Vt. where he and his wife Lyndsay had lived since 2009. They now reside in Suttons Bay Township. “It was hard to leave Vermont,” Deery said, “but my wife and I came to the realization that we liked Vermont so much mostly because it reminded us so much of home.” The Deerys are both northern Michigan natives. Ryan Deery is a 2001 graduate of Petoskey High School, and his wife is a 2000 Petoskey graduate. Both were raised in Petoskey. “We always knew we’d come back to this part of Michigan, and here we are,” Deery said. “We definitely plan to stick around.” Following high school, Deery attended University of Alaska in Anchorage then transferred to the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor where he earned a bachelor’s degree in English in 2005. He then attended Utah State

University in Logan and earned a master’s degree in literature and writing in 2009. He also taught English at Utah State. Later in 2009, Deery moved to Vermont as an AmeriCorps VISTA volunteer at the Kellogg Hubbard Library in Montpelier. That led to a regular position with the library where he specialized in managing programs for young people. His experience working with children became evident many Friday mornings at the Suttons Bay-Bingham District Library this summer when he conducted the regular “Wigglers Story Time” program, reading aloud to toddlers and other youngsters, and leading them in song. Deery said he and his wife don’t have any children of their own — yet. Deery was one of many who applied for the top post at the Suttons BayBingham District Library after former library director Virginia Robertson announced this spring that she and her family were moving out of the area. The Suttons Bay-Bingham District Library Board set Deery’s starting annual salary for the fulltime position at $34,500. Deery is currently working on his second master’s degree in Library and Information Science from Wayne State University, which he expects to complete by August 2013.

A salesman complimented a young mother on her well-behaved son, adding, “I have eight children of my own.” “Eight kids!” she exclaimed in disbelief. “I can’t imagine dividing my love by eight.” “I don’t divide my love,” he said, “I multiply it!” How like God. We read in His word that “God so loved the world that He gave His only Son…for everyone.” His love is unlimited and all inclusive. And we would never know how much He loved us until it was seen in Scripture. Love began with God, was seen in Jesus and ends with us. There is no way to know, experience or understand the love of God except through the Son of God. As we put our lives into His hands, He will put His love into our hearts. And as we come to understand His love we will realize that He has a lot of love for us to share with others, and we can help to multiply His love as we serve others.

Floatilla fills bay, falls short of record By Eric Carlson Of The Enterprise staff

Although no new world record was set, organizers of the Suttons Bay Floatilla have declared their effort a major success. On Saturday morning, some 1,750 kayaks and canoes gathered in the waters just off the Suttons Bay Marina Park, coming within range of the current record of 1,902 canoes and kayaks set during a similar event last year in New York. Even though Suttons Bay won’t be in the Guinness Book of World Records this year, Suttons Bay Public School superintendent Mike Murray said his financially-strapped district and the entire community benefitted from the sea of kayaks and canoes. More than 1,800 people registered to participate in the event and paid anywhere from $15 for a oneperson canoe or kayak registered before Aug. 29 to $27 for a twoperson canoe or kayak registered on the Sept. 1 date of the event. At a minimum, the school district’s Student Activities Fund stands to receive $30,000 or more from the registration fees, plus proceeds from the sale of tee-shirts, posters and photographs over the coming weeks. Murray explained that final figures — both the official number of canoes and kayaks involved as well as proceeds from registrations and sales — were still being compiled this week, and no exact numbers were known. “We do know that 1,742 boats were registered and actually showed up,” Murray said.

But an official count from an aerial photo is also required. Murray said the process of counting canoes and kayaks in the photo is a difficult, tedious process, and that the average number he’d counted was somewhere between 1,750 and 1,760. But boats don’t count if they weren’t also registered. As recently as 2008, the Guinness Book of World Records listed the record number of canoes and kayaks counted at a similar floatilla at about 1,100. “And we clearly beat that,” Murray said, “setting a new record at some point is definitely within our grasp.” Carolyn Faught of Omena was one of dozens of local volunteers who helped organize and execute the multi-faceted effort. She and others helped haul canoes and kay-

aks from the school parking lot to the Suttons Bay Marina Park beach before and after the event – and participated in the event itself in their own boats. “It was a lot of work, and I’m really worn out,” Faught said after the Labor Day weekend had ended. “There were so many people who worked so hard as volunteers – many of them who don’t even have kids in school anymore. It was a great thing for our community,” she said. A principal organizer of the event, Kate Thornhill, agreed. “We’re just so grateful for all the support we received from local businesses and organizations, and all the people who volunteered to help,” Thornhill said. “It really was a successful event.”

BOATS RETURN to the beach in Suttons Bay for transport home after the floatilla Saturday proved to be as big a logistics challenge as getting them there.
