Above the Icy Straits

Petoskey Middle School student Chris Panos, who plans soon be taking flight instruction himself, was tagging along for a fly-over of the Mackinac Straits last Saturday. He was kind enough to share the above photo. Here is his description: “This is the Arthur M. Anderson, the last freighter to make contact with the Edmund Fitzgerald and the first to look for survivors in 1975. When I was flying around the Mackinac Bridge on Saturday, I noticed a small dot on the horizon on Lake Michigan. It didn’t look like an island or a lighthouse. We started to fly towards it and it turned out to be a freighter stuck in the ice. I used a website to see which ships were in that area. It was the Arthur M. Anderson. She was headed to Sturgeon Bay, WI for a winter layup. The coast guard cutter was about a mile ahead breaking a path for it. “ (Photo by Chris Panos)

Education

Shaping one’s story... ‘essential to sustaining meaning in life’

New Eldercare Certificate program at College offers unique approach to writing last chapters in life’s story

There is a time when we have the abil-ity, when we have plenty of room to shape our stories. As time goes on, however, that ability lessens. Courage is the strength to realize both the value of life, and that no one gets out of it...well, alive. Our most cruel failure in medicine is this: we do not recognize priorities beyond living safely, longer.

Peter Olson, Dean of Instruction at North Central Michigan College

By Kate BassettHarbor Light Newspaper

When Peter Olson, Harbor Springs resident and Dean of Instruction at North Central Michigan College, talked about the new Eldercare certificate program being offered at NCMC he started with a story.

He started with Oedipus Rex.The Sophocles play is familiar, he

noted. Familiar, but not. When stud-ied in historical context, its meaning shifts, as does the understanding of what its original audience expe-rienced. In a time of plague and upheaval, this story might have been perceived more as one of an ability to self-determine in the face of terrible odds.

It is not the play itself Olson most wants to discuss, but the feelings, experiences, and meanings that can shift over time. The understanding that even the most famous stories are almost always more layered and nuanced than one person’s interpretation can provide.

Olson comes to the conversation about Eldercare with a background unlike most medical professionals. Prior to his years as a paramedic, EMS instructor and administrator, and allied health department head at North Central, he taught the classics at University of Michigan and served as the head of Hillside College’s English Department.

Strange CombinationIt seems like a strange combination. Until you think

about this: every one of our lives is a story, complete with beginning, middle, and end. It’s how we are defined. Each individual has a unique lens through which the past, present and future is viewed and retold. Which is why it makes perfect sense for Olson, who spent a large part of his own story studying literature, to be a leader in creating avenues for families to have the important conversations that come with grower older.

“My parents were better prepared than most for what was coming toward them,” Olson recounted to a packed room at North Central, during a recent luncheon lecture. Both were highly educated and in the medical field-- his dad was forced to sit WWII out because the government deemed his Tuberculosis research too important to put on hold-- and yet, did not avoid the struggles of age and illness.

Olson told the story of his mother’s health-- how in the mid-80s she underwent brain surgery, and how, in 1987, she suffered a stroke that would define the remaining

years of her life. More than just listing the years of dif-ficult decisions-- skilled care facilities, at-home care, assisted living-- Olson talked about his parents’ story during this time period. He talked about disagreeing with his father on certain aspects of care. He talked about the good times too, and small moments in between.

Small moments in between...Mostly, he talked about those additional 19 years his

mother lived (eight years longer than his father) in the context of storytelling. Of who is best suited to dictate our end of life stories, and why that question matters much more than most of us realize.

“There is a time when we have the ability, when we have plenty of room to shape our stories. As time goes on, however, that ability lessens. Courage is the strength to realize both the value of life, and that no one gets out of it...well, alive. Our most cruel failure in medicine is this: we do not recognize priorities beyond living safely, longer.

“The chance to shape one’s story is essential to sus-taining meaning in life,” Olson said. The room went hushed. People nodded in agreement, although most kept their attention rapt on Olson. He was stepping into that uncomfortable conversation-- and though the audience was with him, so too was the nervous energy of imagining there becomes something more important than the American dream of self-actualization, when it comes to the last years or months of one’s life.

Olson started sharing facts. He talked about the cost of end of life medical intervention versus its benefits. The scales clearly tip the wrong way. He cited that only 24-percent of the 65-and-over population in the U.S. are able to die at home, compared to 80-percent in Den-mark. He talked about the positive proof of palliative care: 25-percent of patients live longer than expected,

In the span of history, 25 years is a mere blink of the eye. But in the 25 years since its inception in 1990, the Harbor Springs Area Historical Society has a lot to celebrate. The organization invites the community to an anniversary open house on Sat-urday, March 7 from 11:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. at the Harbor Springs History Museum.

For those who have never been to the museum, this is a great chance to come in and see the permanent and temporary exhibits. For museum regulars, the Historical Society be giving a sneak peek of its new “Voices from the Vault” space, a dedicated place to record and share stories of Harbor Springs. Admission is free for the day and we’ll be serving light refreshments.

Help the Historical Society cel-ebrate the vision of its seven found-ers, who shared both a passion for history and a vision for the future. Founders include: Arthur Barnes, Nancy Gurney, Marge May, Jan Morley, Nancy Morton, Linda Rose-now and the late David DeWindt. Together they formed HSAHS, wrote the bylaws, launched the first mem-bership campaign, created exhibits

Harbor Springs City Council mem-bers granted its support for a re-development liquor license in the space that formerly housed Mary Ellen’s Place during Monday, March 2’s meeting. New owners Mike and Tawna Naturkas (who also own the Stained Cup Coffee Shop in down-town Harbor Springs) requested approval for the license, as they are planning a new restaurant for the location.

Also during the meeting, Rachel Smolinski, executive director of HARBOR Inc., was given the Coun-cil’s support for a “wayfinding” analysis that will help the organiza-tion recommend signage for the city that will guide visitors to points of interest.

During City Manager Tom Rich-ard’s report, he told council mem-bers that after the Department of Environmental Quality reviewed the city’s engineering plans for Beach Drive’s water and sewer project, they required changes to the slope and depth of the sewer lines. Richards noted Council already discussed at an earlier meeting what this meant in terms of increased costs for the project.

He said by having the Department of Public Works staff replace the existing submersible pumps with a different style that matches new requirements, the city will save some $7,000 in labor, helping of offset the pump and associated equipment costs of some $25,000.

“While this was an unforeseen expense, we feel confident that the unbudgeted cost will be fully absorbed in the approximately $70,000 ‘contingency’ estimate in this project,” Richards wrote.

County road commissions say Proposal 1 vote is crucialEditor’s Note: For a local perspective on this issue, please turn to page 2 for a commentary offered by Emmet County Road Commission Engineer-Manager Brian Gutowski.

By COLLIN KRIZMANICHCapital News Service

LANSING — Across northern Michigan, county road commissions struggle to repair roads, replace old bridges and plow fresh snow with what they say is a serious shortfall in funding.

“Overall, our roads are failing,” said Jesse Campbell, manager of the Alcona County Road Commission. “Over the last 10 years, we have lost about a third of our workforce, and we are also working with very out-dated equipment.”

Wexford County is also struggling, and its problems aren’t isolated, said Alan Cooper, the county’s road com-mission manager.

“We’re trying to do the best we can, but funding is sorely needed,” Cooper said. “It’s not just Wexford County that is hurting, it’s the entire state.”

President Barack Obama and Michi-gan Governor Rick

Snyder come from op-posite ends of the political spectrum, but share one thing in common: Dodg-ing an oil pipeline bullet before an election.

Now they each face a final decision on what to do.

For Obama, it is the Keystone XL oil pipe-line. He delayed any decision until after the 2012 election…then again until after the 2014 election.

The Snyder administration also dodged a pre-election bullet after the 2010 rupture in Enbridge’s 6B pipeline dumped about a mil-lion gallons of crude oil into Talmadge Creek and the Kalamazoo River near Marshall, Michigan. Most people didn’t know there was an oil pipeline crossing the five-mile stretch between St. Ignace and Mackinac or between Port Huron and Sarnia.

Following continued public attention and protests, Snyder asked DEQ Director Dan Wyant and Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette in June, 2014 to co-chair a multi-agency government task to take a close look at pipelines transporting petroleum products around the state. This tactic basically removed the issue from Snyder’s bid for a second term.

The task force is expected to report their findings to the Governor within the next few months after just wrapping up its hearings.

Former DNR Commissioner Dr. Jim Hill, a CMU political science professor and lawyer, testified last month before the Task Force:

“We have a 60-plus-year-old set of pe-troleum pipelines lying under the Straits of Mackinac which, if damaged or otherwise compromised, could create an environmental nightmare for the region. The question then arises: Should there be cause for concern since there have been no known leaks under the Straits for all of this time? The pipeline’s spill in Kalamazoo in 2010 involving a pipeline of the same age and owned by the same company is the canary in the mine that says the answer

to that question is, ‘Yes’. Recent pipeline pe-troleum spills and leaks just in the last month are further evidence that the possibility of a Straits spill must be taken seriously.

If there were such a spill, could it be quickly and easily contained? Enbridge, the owner of the pipeline, says it could because of their sophisticated and state of the art detection and control systems, which I am sure they emphasized to you previously. However, En-bridge gave the same assurances to Congress not long before the Kalamazoo pipeline spill, which resulted in one of the worst inland oil spills in the nation’s history.”

Dr. Hill argues that maintaining the status quo to protect 20 percent of the world’s fresh water is not an option. He worries about hu-man error, technology failure, and extreme weather conditions, complicated by the fact that a spill in the Straits could be significant and not quickly controlled. He also points out that the U.S. Coast Guard says it does not have the capability to address a large-scale spill in the Straits area.

Testimony presented to the Governor’s task force ranged from the commercial value of Michigan’s oil pipeline system and related jobs, to the potential environmental threat that petroleum pipelines—like those owned by Calgary-based Enbridge Energy—could pose to people, businesses, tourism, wildlife, land, water and air.

The stage is set for a potential environ-mental calamity unless something changes. The last two brutal Michigan winters with record-breaking cold temperatures and 7 to 8 foot thick ice add yet another challenge to oil spill remediation.

Right now, everyone appears to be just standing on the sidelines anxiously awaiting the Task Force’s recommendations—and what Snyder will do with them—before moving forward.

This farm at Five Mile Creek predates the construction of the mill.

By Brian A. Gutowski, P.E.Engineer-Manager, Emmet County Road Commission

The condition of Michi-gan roads are road among the worst in the

nation. Our politicians have discussed various proposals for more than a decade to come up with a road funding solution. Although the legisla-tors did not vote on a funding solution on their own, they did come up with a ballot proposal that will help solve not only road funding but help schools and local government, as well.

Michigan citizens will have the opportunity to vote for better roads on May 5 through Proposal 1.

Michigan funds roads through the state gas tax, diesel tax, plus vehicle registration fees.

Currently, Michigan ranks dead last in per capita spending on roads. We pay two taxes at the pump: 1) State gas tax, 2) 6% sales tax. The gas tax goes to repairing our roads. The sales tax helps fund schools and provides funding for local governments like townships, cities and villages.

The citizens of Michigan told the legislature they wanted all the taxes spent at the pump to go to roads. Proposal 1 will assure that will happen.

Proposal 1 would remove the 6% sales tax on fuel purchases and the 19 cents per gallon gas tax. This would be replaced with a 14.9% whole sales tax. At current fuel prices, the overall tax cost at the pump would be less than what we are paying today. By 2018, road funding would increase by $1.2 billion per year for road improvements. These funds will be constitutionally protected under Proposal 1. Our legislators will not be able to divert these funds for other purposes.

Proposal 1 asks the voters to increase the sales tax from 6% to 7% on material purchases. This would annually increase funding for schools by $300 million and $100 million for local governments.

Road conditions are such that the average motorist in the State pays an average of

$539 for car repairs. For the average citizen Proposal 1 will cost less than car repairs on an annual basis. The result will be safer roads less lives lost due to the improvements that will take place on the roads. This allows not only the citizens of Michigan to pay for road improvements, schools and government but allows tourists to help pay for those functions as well.

To learn more, please attend the Proposal 1 public forum to be held at the Emmet County Fairgrounds on March 26 at 7:00 p.m.

Ned Jaeger Haverstick, born Oct. 3, 1942 passed away in Day-ton, OH Feb 20, 2015 after a long battle with dementia.

Haverstick was a graduate of Oakwood High school and Eastern Kentucky University. His life’s work was devoted to building and remodeling homes primarily in the Dayton, Cincinnati and Northern Michigan areas. Many of his homes were of acclaim and he was featured on the cover of Builder Magazine in the late 1980’s.

Often Haverstick would find a particular piece of art, such as stained glass, as inspiration and proceed to build a home showcasing his find. He was the president of the Home Build-ers Association of Dayton in 1978.

He leaves behind, sons Samuel of Louisville, KY, Benjamin of Richmond, VA and daughter Camilla of Truckee, CA as well as a brother Kim of Dayton, OH. Older brother Jay passed away in 2008.

There will be no public services for Haverstick as his fam-ily has selected to hold a private ceremony in the summer at Harbor Springs.

Dr. Walter William Bertschinger age 86 of Harbor Springs passed peacefully in his sleep on February 25, 2015.

Walter is survived by his beloved wife Carol and children Walter Bertschinger, Karen Lynn, Beth Breuninger and Kenneth Bertschinger (Valerie) and grandchildren Michael McCall, Kristina Breuninger and Kevin Breuninger. He is also survived by his first wife Barbara Bertschinger, the mother of his children.

Walter attended U of M and Northern Illinois College of Optometry. He enjoyed a 35 year career as an optometrist in both Grosse Pointe and Harbor Springs. Walter was a lifelong Mason and Past Master of Acacia Lodge in Grosse Pointe Woods. He was Past President of an eastern Detroit Lions Club, and a member of the Kiwanis Club of Harbor Springs.

His great love in life after his family was golf, and he enjoyed several tournament wins as well as four holes-in-one. Later in life he excelled at Duplicate Bridge and became a Life Master. Walter is also survived by his two Portuguese Water Dogs, Annie and Bonkers III who brought him a lot of joy in his later years.

No services are planned at this time. Arrangements are be-ing made through Schiller Funeral Home of Harbor Springs. Online messages of condolence may be made at stonefuner-alhomeinc.com.

vote on a ballot initiative to raise the state sales tax from 6 percent to 7 percent. The House Fiscal Agency esti-mates this sales tax increase would generate at least an ad-ditional $1.6 billion each year, with an estimated $1.2 billion designated to road funding.

The higher sales tax could significantly increase trans-portation money available to local communities.

In Alcona County, for in-stance, Campbell said the new rate could add at least $1 million to the county’s $2.3 million road budget.

In Wexford County, Coo-per says it would increase the maintenance budget by $900,000, which would make a dent in solving road prob-lems but fails to address all the issues the county faces.

According to the 2014

Michigan Roads Crisis report issued by former Rep. Rick Olson, R-York Township, the state needs an additional $2.18 billion in road funding, nearly $1 billion more than this proposal would deliver.

Although the proposal may not match needs estimates, Cooper said, “If they offer $900,000 a year for us, we will make it work.”

Despite what road com-missioners describe as a dire situation, the public is split on the ballot initiative.

A recent poll conducted by EPIC-MRA showed that if the

vote was held now, 46 percent would vote for the sales tax in-crease and 41 percent would vote against it. However, after listening to details of the bal-lot proposal, 47 percent say they would vote against the proposal, with only 37 percent voting in favor of it.

Some proposal supporters say the public might be wary because the revenue generat-ed from the sales tax increase is directed not only to road funding but also to areas such as mass transit, the School Aid Fund and the state’s Earned Income Tax Credit.

“I think if there had been a straight transportation package, it would have had a better chance of passing,” Cooper said.

The resolution that led to the ballot proposal was passed at the last minute of the lame-duck session in December, after hours of negotiations and tradeoffs among senators.

“This is the best plan that we could come up with and actually get passed. It took a bipartisan effort to get that done,” said Sen. Darwin Booher, R-Evart, who sup-ports the proposal. “There is nothing simple about this, or it would have been done a long time ago.”

Rep. Peter Petallia, R-Pr-esque Isle, chair of the Trans-portation Committee, voiced his concern that people may not see the need to vote for increasing taxes because the package tied to the proposal is complicated.

“As a chair of Transporta-tion, I don’t go out and take a stance one way or another,” Pettalia said. “I do spend a lot of time educating. It’s im-portant for me as chair to let

people know what the ballot proposal really is.”

If the sales tax increase fails to pass, and no additional road funding is generated by the legislature, Campbell is worried about the effects this will have in Alcona County.

“In the next two or three years, we are going to have to make some huge cuts if something isn’t done with funding,” Campbell said. “We may implement a 72-hour time frame before we can respond to snow falls on local roads, which would devastate a lot of communities.”

If voters approve the ballot proposal, the changes will not take effect until October, when the current budget year ends. In case the proposal fails, Petallia says this leaves time for the Legislature to work on a new plan for road funding.

“If it doesn’t pass, there is, and will be, a continued effort to move something into the funding needs of our infra-structure,” said Petallia.

Isn’t it funny how we are cur-rently rejoicing about twenty-five degree weather and hit-ting the outdoors in droves, but in October, we would have been complaining about how cold it was. Everything is a matter of perspective.

Recently I’ve had several friends lose their parents and my heart aches for them

because I understand what a loss that is. It doesn’t matter if you are 15 or 50, that is still your mom or dad and you are still their child and that is a relationship that cannot be completely duplicated. My mom has been gone for 13 years and there are still days when I reach for the phone to call her and tell her some-thing. We spent a lot of time at Bay Bluffs with my father and though he left us three years ago, it still feels strange to me to leave church on Sunday and not head straight for Bay Bluffs and there are evenings that just feel empty because we didn’t make our stop there.

To the families of Clark Ketchum, Walter Bertschinger and Vincent St. John, we send our most sincere condolenc-es; may you find peace at this time of loss in remembering the good times.

One thing that does make me smile, even in the times of loss, is the number of “chil-dren” who have taken over their family business. There is a feeling of steadiness in dealing with the same family, sometimes for generations.

To see Dean Carpenter still running Bluff Gardens, Julie MacGregor Wiemann at the helm of MacGregor’s Plumb-ing and Heating, to see my husband heading the busi-ness that his father and his grandfather had before him; it gives a sense of history that I appreciate. I remember my father talking about taking John MacGregor around and introducing him when he first arrived in town; how won-derful that his business has survived for decades. Jason Saddison is still running KRG, the Kircher children are very much present at Boyne USA

and David Marvin is working for Stafford’s as his father did for years before him. Frank Shepherd works his father’s family farm and even here at the Harbor Light, we have Charles in the chair filled for years by his father, Kevin.

I think all of the Phillips children worked at the family gas station at one time and while Mert’s girls didn’t take over her restaurant, Dixie Ira did open Out to Lunch and al-lowed us access to Mert’s pies for a few more years. Mollie Kelbel Carter didn’t take over for her father but it still warms the little cockles of my heart to know there is a Kelbel teach-ing at that school.

While it makes me sad that, for example, the Juilleret children didn’t take over the restaurant or that we won’t see Karen Hughes behind the counter of MaryEllen’s, it

is certainly understandable. They have their own paths, their own lives and I’m sure that especially in the case of the Juillerets, they saw the time involved in keeping that business successful and they weren’t inclined to do that.

I know I couldn’t have done what either of my parents did. My husband cringes at the thought of a paintbrush in my hands; painting with Dad was never a possibility. (Besides, I was a GIRL; Dad would never have gone for that.) I did design and print invoices and business cards for him, but that was as far as my involvement went. My mother used to do commer-cial laundry, linens for Sylvain Management at Harbor Cove and all the kitchen and dining room linens for the Halpins and Rudolphs at Country Hearth. When I was in high

school I would fill in for her if they went out of town and I have no idea how she did what she did on a daily basis. The work was labor inten-sive, often times disgusting (kitchen towels and the like) and while I was impressed by the business she had built, there was no way I wanted to be involved in it.

Kudos to those who have carried on a family tradition; what a privilege to work with your parents and what a nice way to honor them and to maintain their legacy. And for those of you who are lucky enough to still have your par-ents, give them a call or a hug for the rest of us who can’t.

And on that same thought line, I’m going home and hugging all my dogs today in honor of Jessie Suther-land. Jessie greeted people at the Good Hart Store and

The arrival of March, or bet-ter yet, the end of February, gives us hope that the signs of spring will begin arriving soon. We did have a few bright sunny days again this past week but the tempera-ture remained in single digits. The weekend was a good one and those out on the ski slopes reported a great weekend of skiing. Predictions are for 4-5 inches of snow for Tuesday and then chances for snow showers the rest of the week but hopefully the brutally cold temperatures are gone. Remember to spring your clocks ahead Saturday night and think spring!

McLaren Northern Michigan was awarded the President’s Trophy for outstanding clinical and financial per-formance at the McLaren Health Care annual meeting, held in Flint, mid-January. The recognition means that McLaren Northern Michigan was the top performer out of all 16 subsidiaries in the McLaren Health Care system. “McLaren Northern Michigan is very proud of this accom-plishment,” says David Zech-man, President and CEO of McLaren Northern Michigan.

Part of the strategy and mis-sion of McLaren Health Care is to make value a significant element in health care. The incentive comes, in part, from changes in health care under the Affordable Care Act, whose stated goal is to move toward paying care providers for value — overall quality and efficiency that supports the long-term health of the population — over volume, or the numbers of total health care interactions.

“Significantly, McLaren Northern Michigan read-ily adapted to the organizing principles of McLaren Health Care,” adds Zechman. “Our

regional facilities were al-ready focused on providing a high quality, seamless inte-gration across the continuum of care, combined with cost efficiency, and these practices put us in a good position to succeed system wide.”

A program of scheduled health and safety initia-tives, including continuous monitoring of quality and patient safety, regularly re-ceives exemplary scores and recognition from the nation’s most reputable health rating agencies, including American Heart Association, Commis-sion on Cancer, and American Nurses Credentialing Center. “We know that taking a pro-active approach allows us to exceed established standards in clinical excellence,” says Zechman.

This is a noteworthy mile-stone as well for Cheboygan Campus. “Our Cheboygan Campus is a strong compo-nent of the whole,” explains Zechman, “and colleagues have much to be proud of.” He adds, “Sustainable healthcare in the Cheboygan community has been accomplished using a new model of care, seam-lessly linking local outpatient

services to advanced specialty care within the McLaren sys-tem.”

Fiscal responsibility and advanced planning also put McLaren Northern Michigan in an enviable financial posi-tion. “We think ahead, and we pay close attention to emerging technology and sys-tem needs,” says Zechman. “Reinvesting in the future is crucial to recruit nation-ally ranked physicians and to purchase new technology as it becomes available.” Most recent acquisitions include state-of-the art cataract sur-gery equipment, heart and lung bypass technology, and the latest electrophysiology technology. “And,” he adds, “We have tremendous sup-port from a large network of philanthropic donors through McLaren Northern Michigan Foundation, our fundrais-ing arm, which makes many programs and equipment purchases possible.” In 2014 alone, the Foundation raised nearly $6 million and rein-vested over $3.3 million into equipment, facilities, patient assistance needs, and educa-tional scholarships to name a few.

McLaren Northern Michigan recognized recently for ‘Exemplary Standards’ McLaren Northern Michi-

gan, previously known as Northern Michigan Regional Hospital, joined as a subsid-iary of with McLaren Health

Care on January 1, 2012. McLaren Health Care is Mich-igan’s largest health system, with 22,000 employees, 300 facilities, and a service area

covering 75% of the state. To learn more about McLar-

Static StretchingStatic stretching is holding a stretch position a minimum of 10-30 seconds in order to elongate the muscle. It is best to do static stretching after the activity when your muscles are warm. Static sus-tained stretches are designed to hold a position for a joint or a muscle that is minimally challenging. The focus is on relaxing the body part being stretched and letting it go fur-ther on its own. These types of stretches are designed to target the muscle groups. If you have never dedicated much time to post workout stretching, try it.

Performed consistently, the stretching exercises can:

• Help in relieving muscle tightness and stiffness.

• Improve postural imbal-ances and help to reduce chronic back pain.

• Increase blood flow to the muscles being stretched.

• Possibly relieve muscle soreness.

For a hamstring stretch, sit on a flat surface with one leg straight, the other bent knee. Bending at the waist, slowly reach down to your foot and try to touch your toes. Make sure you are not bouncing or straining. Just reach as far as you can comfortably and hold the stretch for 10-30 seconds. Try to keep your back flat, not rounded and breathe. (Courtesy photo/Bay Tennis and Fitness)

• Increase flexibility and the range of motion around a joint reducing the risk of muscle and tendon tears during com-petitive activity.

Stretching is most effective:• When the body is warm

after a workout.• Holding the stretch 10-30

seconds, easing slowly in and out of the stretch, gradually releasing tight-ness.

• Repeating each of the stretching exercises 2-3 times in succession and at least 2-3 times a week.

• Completing a range of stretching exercises for different muscle groups involved in the workout. For example: Include a hamstring stretch if your workout included squats.

Often seen as secondary to strength and endurance, flexibility training is often neglected. The more flexible

you are the more mobile you are, improving everyday func-tional movement. Stretching enhances movement in your workouts, around the court or field with greater ease and dexterity, improving perfor-mance. So if you’ve had a problem with limited range of movement stretch more, not less.

Comic relief arrives when Lefou(Rachel Kane) and the Silly Girls (Maggie Comden, Emily Lantz, and Jackie Menzel-Cranney) contend for the attention of Gaston (Elliott Walda), who is bound and determined to marry Belle even to the point of devising a “murky plan” with the local director or the insane asylum, Monsieur D’Arque (Danielle Sylvain). This “tale as old as time” is filled with

unforgettable characters that will leave you smiling, singing, and dancing as you exit the theatre.

High School presenting ‘Beauty and the Beast’


During Pete Olson’s lecture about North Central Michigan College’s new Eldercare Certificate Program, he repeatedly cited three books as having influenced his own understand-ing of the importance of these skillsets.

Being Mortal by Atul Gawande In Being Mortal, bestselling author Atul Gawande tackles the hardest challenge of his profession: how medicine can not only improve life but also the process of its ending. Gawande, a practicing surgeon, addresses his profession’s ultimate limitation, arguing that quality of life is the desired goal for patients and families. Gawande offers examples of freer, more socially fulfilling models for assisting the infirm and dependent elderly, and he explores the varieties of hospice care to demonstrate that a person's last weeks or months may be rich and dignified.

The Patient Will See You Now by Eric Topol- With smart-phones in hand, patients are no longer beholden to an impersonal and paternalistic system in which "doctor knows best." Medicine has been digitized, Topol argues; now it will be democratized.

The Conversation by Angelo Volandes- Dr. Angelo E. Vo-landes believes that a life well lived deserves a good ending. Through the stories of seven patients and seven very dif-ferent end-of-life experiences, he demonstrates that what people with a serious illness, who are approaching the end of their lives, need most is not new technologies but one simple thing: The Conversation. He argues for a radical re-envisioning of the patient-doctor relationship and of-fers ways for patients and their families to talk about this difficult issue to ensure that patients will be at the center and in charge of their medical care.

despite stopping chemotherapy sooner and entering hospice earlier.

“It’s counterintuitive, but true. You live longer only when you stop trying to live longer,” he said.

“In the 14 minutes that you spend on average with a primary care physician visit-- and many times that visit is more like eight minutes-- how much time is there to have the conversa-tion with loved ones, with yourself? Many, many times as an EMT I experienced getting patients in the truck with no idea what they-- or their family-- wanted.”

New Eldercare Certificate ProgramEnter North Central’s new Eldercare Certificate program: 30

hours that make up a three-legged health care stool-- basic medical care (like an EMT course), knowledge of the health care system, and ethics/understanding/communication skills to help facilitate conversations between loved ones.

“It’s a sort of health coach, someone who can refine and guide efficiently while connecting with people. Folks who earn this certificate will have enough medical knowledge to be able to know the difference between sick and not sick by looking at someone. They will know how to navigate the healthcare system, which in our resort community is something that comes up quite often. They will also be able to work through the questions that come with the ethics of aging, like even if we can fix everything, should we?”

Olson said the reality is, there are no job models available for this type of certification-- yet. He said it is ideal for a CENA (Competency Evaluated Nursing Assistant) that is looking to move up. Olson noted it is also good for skilled care facilities who are looking to keep top CENA employees, as the turnover rate in that position is often very high.

“It’s what we refer to as ‘middle skills’ training,” Olson said. “We are thinking of CENA’s, of that group of young males who are not going to four year colleges and seem to fall off the map, of retiring nurses, entrepreneurs looking to fill a niche, and of people like you-- individuals who may want chunks of this program for the knowledge it brings.”

‘Pretty out there, forward thinking...”Saying it’s “pretty out there, forward thinking,” Olson noted

his pride in the college receiving a “Plus 50” grant from the American Association of Community Colleges to encourage those older than 50 to come back to school and participate in the Eldercare program.

“Who better to start having these conversations than those of us who are fearless? Who better to build this skill set than those of us who need to open this dialogue? We know from research that most healthcare professionals do not have the time or inclination to do so. It requires an approachability, a willingness and understanding of how to facilitate. This cer-tificate is not aimed at being effectively able to triage a patient, but those who complete the program will know how to direct patients to those who can.”

Looking at the overall future of healthcare in this country, Olson said he firmly believes the trend is moving toward a more patient-centered approach with some of these middle skill jobs, as it drives costs down and more often than not, improves life quality. And that, he noted, is the most important part of the equation.

“This is what we’re really looking to do as we talk about being there and caring for our community,” he said. “We have to start refashioning the conversation. We have to educate ourselves.”

Slowly, murmurs of agreement rose up in the room. The nervous energy was being replaced by something bigger, better. Something like awareness and hope, as strange as that seems for a lecture centered around the end of one’s life.

“It could be that we always need more stories. No story fulfills perfectly, once and for all its function, which is why, when we read to our children at bedtime they would ask for another and another and another story without ever assuaging the hunger they are meant to satisfy,” he told the audience.

“For children, of course, more and more and more stories are just another way of putting off the darkness. Doesn’t that phrase apply to us as well? Who we are, who we want to be, how we want to be remembered-- the story of who we are changes over time. The importance, perhaps, is in the telling.”

Harbor Springs Wrestling NewsOnaway saw 10 of our Rams hit their door this past Saturday as we made our first appearance in their gym in a number of years. Competition came from 12 different schools from Alpena to Charlevoix , which produces a variety of styles and technique that we embraced and added outs to the mix.

Recording 16 wins against 14 loses, we brought home five Silvers and a Bronze scattered throughout the team. But it was the relentless attacks and physical domination exhibited by Nate Foster that produced the only Gold on the day. Nate has had, over the last three years, one of the best win/loss ratios on the team and is one who we count on to energize the squad.

As with any program worth it’s salt, this young team is starting to ramp up as they face the week ahead. A “CAN DO” attitude is where we are hanging our hat for now with every small vic-tory and success. This is the substance which will produce the heart of a champion as we march into Petoskey this Saturday and go toe to toe with the best competition of the season.

Game 3 against Traverse City, a team we have never won against this season was ahead the entire game, Harbor pulled it close in the last minute, 3.6 seconds left Harbor was down by 2 pts, Tyler Rushing shot a 3 point, hit the rim, Brett Vandermus put up the rebound made it & got fouled at the buzzer again, repeat of last game, he made the extra point, Harbor wins by 1.

Girls BasketballThe Rams women started out the final week of regular season play with a 51-41 road win over Grayling on Tuesday then traveled to East Jordan to win a 37-36 nail biter Friday night finishing the season 12-8 overall, 10-4 in their conference.

Harbor head coach Tom Brogger knew going into Grayling that is a tough place to win and while the final score may look like it was a comfortable win it was not easy. “They play really well at home.” “They do things different than anybody else in the entire league.” “You play Grayling and you’ve got to throw in all this extra stuff because of the way they defend.” said Brogger.

The Rams went into the half up by five but a 20 point third period by Grayling left the Harbor down by four heading into the fourth. The Rams returned the favor in the final period sinking 20 of their own including 7 from Alexa Jensen-Philbrick with Haley Rushing contributing all 5 off her points in the closing eight minutes.

The Rams wrapped up their regular season against a very young East Jordan team that they dominated earlier in the year. For the Rams and Red Devils second meeting, Harbor would start down two players who were not available to play.

“They’re not playing like freshman and sophomores any-more.” coach Brogger said about the Red Devils. “Very ag-gressive, good shooting team. They defended us very well.”

Harbor found themselves in an 11-1 hole right off the bat which was the first of two times that the Rams would have to battle back from a ten point deficit. Harbor found themselves fortunate to go into the locker room down only six at the end of the first half. The Rams would end the third still down by four but came out strong with a 14 point fourth that included three 3 pointers from junior point guard Alexa Jensen-Philbrick with Zoey Bezilla also making a critical shot right at the end.

“The overall intensity or mental sharpness was not with us in this game.” said coach Brogger. “We just weren’t ourselves but in the process of all that East Jordan proved that they play with us.”

Rams scorers against Grayilng were led by junior Alexa Jensen-Philbrick with 13, Harmony Lang 11, Shallon Grawey 8, Perry Bower 7, Mikayla Dickinson 6, Haley Rushing 5 and Sophie Seitz with 1.

In the East Jordan victory scorers were led again by Alexa Jensen-Philbrick with 14, Perry Bower with 11, Zoey Bezzila with 5, Mikayla Dickinson 4, Shallon Grawey 2 and Libby Sylvain with 1.

Sweeping their week with wins over Grayling (44-17) and East Jordan (58-45) the JV girls also finished up their season with 12 wins overall but only 9 in conference. Reasons for the groups success can be attributed to many things but one of the keys was certainly the inside play of sophomores Libby Garver and Caylin Bonser who combined for a season total 511 points (Garver 276, Bonser 235) giving the Rams an offensive boost that was hard for most teams to overcome.

“We got so much better (over the course of the season) at just playing basketball.” “Our fast break has gotten much bet-

ter especially the last few games.” said first year coach Mike Vandermus following his JV squads final game victory over visiting East Jordan. “Taking care of the basketball has been a big thing.” “Rebounding has been a huge thing.” Vandermus noted as he pointed out his teams 2 to 1 advantage on the boards in the final game.

When asked about what the JV team might look like next year coach Vandermus was optimistic. “We’re going to have a (physically) smaller team.” “Our transition game should be better but we’re probably going to struggle down low a little. We‘re going to have a really good shooting JV team.” “There’s a really good group of freshman girls coming up.”

JV scorers in this weeks win over Grayling were led by Caylin Bonser with 14, Libby Garver 10, Martha Johnston and Olivia Huhn-Tarvudd with 7 each, Casey Savard 4 and senior Maiya Acosta 2.

In the victory over East Jordan Libby Garver grabbed top honors with 19 followed by Caylin Bonser 15, Olivia Huhn-Tarvudd 10, Martha Johnston 8, Casey Savard 4 and Mayia Acosta with 2.

District PlayMarch Madness started this week with the Rams women’s basketball team heading to Boyne City on Monday, March 2 to face the East Jordan Red Devils in the first round of district playoff action with a 47-34 win.

The Rams faced off with the Red Devils twice this season winning the first meeting easily and narrowly escaping with a win in their last match up just this past Friday.

Perry Bower finished with 11 points.One part of the Rams game head coach Tom Brogger will

hopefully be able to count on in the playoffs will be depth of his bench. “There’s been times this year when our bench has been better than our first unit.” said Brogger “A lot of confi-dence in that group, no doubt about it.”

The Rams will head to their second playoff game at 5:30 Wednesday, March 4 against Roger City who got a first round buy. That game will also be played at Boyne City High School.

McFarland, USAKevin Costner had two movies hit the theater in two months; that’s more productivity than we’ve seen from him in years. I enjoyed this movie far more that the January offering, Black or White. I like my Costner as a good guy and while Jim White, his character in this movie, has his flaws, I just thought that overall, he was easier to identify with than the grandfather with a drinking problem in Black or White. I’m not saying that wasn’t a more challenging role, but this was a nice, family film.

Jim White loses yet another teaching/coaching job and he is pretty much at the bottom of the barrel when he accepts a position in McFarland, California. It is a very poor farm-ing community with mainly Hispanic residents. White’s family (Maria Bello, Morgan Saylor, Elsie Fisher) are not too excited about living in the barrio; they are frightened of their neighbors & classmates and this is a lower level of living than they are used to.

White notices while trying to teach football that he has many players who are very fast runners: many have no transportation, so they run everywhere they go. He recruits a cross-country team and this is the story of their rise to championship stature.

There are some rough moments along the way, but eventu-ally acceptance takes place on both sides and the lesson is learned, also on both sides, that just because their heritage may be different, people are basically people.

Costner is convincing as the coach; he has always had a charisma and that hasn’t diminished. The actors mentioned above who play his family are very good, as are many of the boys on the team and the people in the neighborhood, especially Carlos Pratts and Diana Maria Riva, but this is Costner’s movie from start to finish.

This is a Disney film but the story is over the heads of younger children; I would say maybe eight or so and up, depending, of course, on the child. Many good lessons while offering rousing entertainment; it is nearly impossible not to get caught up in this story.

Rated PG for a very small amount of profanity and a couple adult themes, but certainly nothing to keep the kids away.

Chris Pierce, a Biologist and Project Manager for the Conservation Resource Alli-ance will present a March 10 program on The River Care Program for the Petoskey Regional Audubon Society (PRAS). The River Care Program is administered by the Conservation Resource Alliance. It is designed to maintain the aesthetic and economic value of northern Michigan Streams.

River Care is a pro-active program created to guarantee that natural resource profes-sionals maintain a consistent and prioritized action plan for each river, find and repair physical problems before they come worse, and maintain efficient, coordinated local watershed partnerships.

Chris Pierce is a Biologist and Project Manager for the

Conservation Resource Alli-ance. Responsibilities include coordination of river restora-tion projects for several north-west Michigan watersheds, of which the main focus is water quality and fish and wildlife habitat improvement. Pierce’s project experience includes large-scale erosion control, road crossing improvement, dam and barrier removal, sand traps, recreation ac-cess improvements, trail construction and in-stream habitat enhancement. Meets regularly with involved wa-tershed restoration steering committees, landowners and government agencies.

The meeting is at 7 p.m. at Northern Lights Recreation, located at 8865 Harbor-Peto-skey Road, Harbor Springs, and it is free and open to the public. Call Lisa Hoyt for more

information 231-675-7222.PRAS is dedicated to creat-

ing a greater awareness, ap-preciation, and understand-ing of the inter-relatedness of all Michigan’s wild places and wild life and the need for stewardship, with emphasis on our local region. PRAS is

also dedicated to fostering an active community of birders by sharing knowledge and ex-perience whenever possible. Come Bird With Us!
