In a straight forward meeting Monday night, Aug. 18, the Harbor Springs City Council approved a request from West Bluff Drive neighbors to ask the Michigan De-partment of Transportation to study M-119 in that area west of State Street hill and consider a possible extension of the no passing zone west of Ann Street, according to city manager Tom Richards.

Previously residents there had requested a speed study hoping to get a lower speed limit. Council was concerned that type of study might result in an increased speed limit and did not seek such a study.

In other business:A request for a memorial bench in

honor of Larry Buhl was not granted, but the City will consider the gift of a bench, (without a plaque or iden-tification) to be placed where it may be needed on City property. The donation will be honored publicly.

Council approved authorizing the city’s Public Power Agency staff to contract for a portion of the city’s electric energy for 2016 and 2017 requirements

Council approved a Labor Day charity run proposed by the Outfitter

Council approved a request for the “Wingin’ it” food truck to oper-ate during the Farmer’s Market and Street Musique

Council approved the low bid of $2,200 for replacement of the side-walk running across upper Zorn Park.

Council also moved to cancel the September 2 meeting (following Labor Day) with the understanding that a special meeting may be called if needed.

The withdrawal of an application to fill a portion of Lake Michigan bottomlands alongside the city’s waterfront park has narrowed the focus of the Harbor Springs Down-town Development Authority’s Wa-terfront Design Committee.

“Now that the question of ex-pansion/no expansion is settled, I expect to see the committee con-tinue its work on developing more detailed plans,” city manager Tom Richards said.

He noted the following decisions are still to be resolved:

- size and details of the proposed enhancements to the marina/Har-bormaster building

- locations for any parking that would be relocated from the wa-terfront

- costs for the construction of the planned park improvements

- sources for funding the project- final approvals of the boards and

commissionsDDA chair Rob Mossburg said

plans continue to move forward, and that the “highest priority items include assisting the Harbor Com-mission and Council on designing and planning for the Harbormaster building improvements,as well as recommendations on any poten-tial parking relocation plan for the waterfront.”

Next month, the full DDA board will continue to explore TIF and Spe-cial Assessment funding options, as well as hear from a signage expert to begin exploring the possibility of developing a wayfinding plan for downtown.

DDA meetings are open to the public. The next meeting will take place Thursday, Sept. 4 at 8 am at City Hall.

Sandy Planisek wanted to write a book about the Coast Guard Cutter Mackinaw WAGB-83, but ordinary research from shore wasn’t going to suffice for the Mackinaw City historian.

Over a two-year period from 2004 through 2006, Planisek joined the crew of the Coast Guard Cut-ter Mackinaw on a regular basis to experience life aboard the cutter first-hand. She educated herself on ship systems from bilge to treetop and she participated in duties from mess cook to captain. Her goal was to document the crew and equip-ment before it was decommissioned in 2006.

The result was Planiseks’ book, “Icebreaker Mackinaw WAGB-83,” which chronicles the experiences and the lives of those who serve the United States on our waterways.

Additionally, during a three-year span from June 2001 to June 2004, Planisek embarked on a journey to tell the stories of the lighthouse keepers of the Great Lakes. She in-terviewed numerous lightkeepers and their families and combined their oral histories with her own meticulous research. From those efforts, she released her book, “Re-living Lightouse Memories” in 2004.

Since the two books were pub-lished, Planisek has donated all proceeds of both to the Great Lakes

For these efforts and her dedica-tion to maritime history causes on Aug. 8 Planisek was surprised during

an Emmet County Historical Com-mission meeting with an appear-ance by Captain Steve Teschendorf and Retired Captain Joe McGuiness, who presented her with the Coast Guard Certificate of Merit.

Commissioner’s Corner

Redpath Memorial Presbyterian Church was built in 1921, replac-ing the first Presbyterian church which was destroued in 1918 fire.

By Charlie MacInnis, Emmet County Commissioner for District 3

Ambulance consultant Tim Ladd was scheduled to make his report to Emmet County’s ambulance advisory committee

today, Wednesday, at the county building in Petoskey. He was hired by the county in June to provide an independent analysis of county ambulance service for the benefit of committee members who have been study-ing the issue for a year and a half. The county board had been wrestling with the issue for several years prior to that.

Mr. Ladd is the director of emergency medical services for Mecosta County and

heads a county-run ambulance service. I met with him at his office in Big Rapids in July and again on August 6 when he sat down with the Harbor Springs mayor and city manager, township supervisors from Little Traverse and Cross Village townships and the executive director of HARBOR, Inc.

Although his final report was not available as of this writing, I

can pass along these observations that he has made previously.* He said he observed a lack of transparency in the current

process. He said everyone has to be on board as a solution is developed.

* At the same time, he said, a standardized reporting process should be developed by the two current providers, Allied EMS and the Village of Mackinaw City, so that the county can more easily understand how tax dollars are being used. He also ex-pressed concern that the two services may not be collecting as much revenue as possible.

* He said first responders should be available to serve residents throughout the entire county, something that would involve coordination with the townships.

Tim suggested that he will recommend three alternatives for the county. It is conceivable that one alternative may be to consider creation of a county-run ambulance service, a reasonable prediction given that he runs one – and seems to run it very well – in Mecosta County.

His report is timely. On August 5, Emmet County voters overwhelmingly approved a renewal of the 0.3 mill levy for am-

bulance service that generates more than $600,000 annually. Earlier this year, the county board approved a $15 million bond issue that includes $2.5 million to $3 million for the purchase of land and construction of new ambulance facilities in the county and the purchase of new vehicles.

Last Thursday, the county board hired Edgewater Design Group of Petoskey to design and build the facilities. According to its website, the firm specializes in residential projects. Its owner, Stephanie Baldwin, and most staff members previously worked at Town and Country Cedar Homes.

The ambulance advisory committee has also been seeking sites to locate the new buildings. It is expected that one will be somewhere in our community. Local officials have been involved in the process and are working diligently to ensure that its location is in the best interest of the community.

As the process begins to accelerate, I am hopeful that an overall plan for ambulance service in Emmet County can be agreed upon by the county board and local governments. The consultant’s recommendations likely will be an important factor in its development.

Why I voted noA number of people have con-tacted me asking why I voted no on the DDA proposal that was recently presented to city council—especially since I have generally supported im-provements to the downtown area in the past.

The reason’s that I voted against the plan, in no par-ticular order, are:

There is no formal design plan at this time. Are we sup-posed to guess at the final out-come based on the rendering s that have been done? This will be an expensive and time consuming project, shouldn’t we have a better idea of the final outcome?

One of the proposed fund-ing mechanisms is a 2 mill tax increase levied only to businesses located in the new central business district. This increase would hurt existing businesses and discourage new businesses from coming to Harbor Springs.

Hiring a DDA director and leasing office space is expensive. Perhaps using the Chamber of Commerce, ex-isting city staff and many of the talented local volunteers from the community would be a better solution in the short term.

The plan seems to only ad-dress the already busy sum-mer season, shouldn’t we be trying to create a four season community that creates year round jobs and brings new businesses here that are open year round?

Does the community really need a waterfront enhance-ment for the two months of business that we have or would the time and money spent on this be better served to promote our community in the slower shoulder seasons when local businesses and attractions could benefit from an increase in tourist traffic.

The bottom line is that we have gotten ahead of our-selves on this one. However, the reality is that now the vari-ous stakeholders must work together to assure a viable outcome. Please feel free to share your opinions and ideas with us on city council and the different groups involved in this effort for it will signifi-cantly impact our community over the long run.

Letter to the editor

Consultant set to report on ambulance service study; met with local officials

Fred Midgette, Commander of the Ninth Coast Guard District.

The award states, in part:“The Commandant of

the Coast Guard takes great pleasure in presenting the United States Coast Guard Certificate of Merit to Doctor Sandra Planisek for delivering compelling narrative of Great Lakes lighthouse keepers and the final years of commis-sioned service for USCGC Mackinaw (WAGB-83) …

“Demonstrating physical and emotional courage, she participated in the full range of cutter missions, from the Grand Haven Festival in sum-mer to icebreaking in winter. ….

“She has honored the Coast Guard with invaluable contri-butions in its recorded history. Doctor Sandra Planisek’s ac-tions are most heartily com-mended and are in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Coast Guard.”

McGuiness told the His-torical Commission that Planisek’s book about the icebreaker Mackinaw remains the crew’s favorite, because of the time she took to listen to their stories and tell them in the beautifully bound volume.

“She nailed it,” said McGui-ness. “It’s the unvarnished Mackinaw.”

Planisek was surprised and honored by the award.

“It was the opportunity of a lifetime for me, Joe,” she said. “The Coast Guard did a great service to me as well.”

Both books are available at the Great Lakes Lighthouse Keepers Association www.gllka.com.

As Michigan continues to see new pertussis cases this year, the Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH) is reminding residents dur-ing National Immunization Awareness Month of the im-portance of being up to date on all vaccinations includ-ing pertussis, also known as whooping cough. Through the end of July, Michigan has seen 546 cases, about 45 percent more than in the same period of 2013. Several other states, including Ohio, California, and Florida, are reporting similar increases.

“Children are routinely rec-ommended to receive a series of pertussis vaccine doses in infancy and early childhood,”

said Dr. Matthew Davis, chief medical executive of MDCH. “Adolescents and adults should receive a booster dose of the vaccine. In addition, pregnant women should get a booster in the third trimester of each pregnancy to help protect newborns, who are most vulnerable to the illness in the first few months of life.”

Pertussis is a respira-tory infection caused by a bacterium that results in a prolonged illness. Severe coughing episodes are often accompanied by vomiting and difficulty breathing. In some cases, a characteristic “whooping” noise is heard as the afflicted person tries to catch their breath. Once

extremely common, vaccines developed in the US starting in the mid-1940s and helped drive down the occurrence of pertussis. But in recent decades, pertussis has been making a comeback.

“Part of the challenge,” Da-vis explained, “is that immu-nity to pertussis wears off, so getting a booster vaccine dose later in life can help extend the protection. Our primary focus is on preventing the disease in babies -- they have smaller airways and less developed respiratory systems, which puts them at higher risk for severe cases as well as hos-pitalization and death from pertussis.”

Babies get a first dose of

the vaccine at two months of age, but they are not optimally protected until completing the series of several more dos-es over the next year and half. MDCH strongly recommends that adults or adolescents who will be around infants receive the recommended pertussis booster vaccine dose, and that all residents receive their vaccines on time.

If you are uncertain about whether you or your children have had all recommended vaccines and doses, speak with your doctor or contact your local health department. For more information about pertussis, or any recommened or required vaccine, visit www.michigan.gov/immunize.

Health department urges vaccination updates, including pertussisHealtH

Frederick Sloane Ford Jr. 90 of Harbor Springs passed away peacefully on Aug. 1, 2014 at his home. He was born Jan. 16, 1924 in Detroit, MI. to Frederick Sloane Sr. and Esther Lee (Caulkins) Ford. He grew up in Detroit He attended Detroit Country Day School in Grosse Pointe and also the Berkshire School in Sheffield , MA. On April 17, 1943 he married Nancy Brier in Grosse Pointe Farms. He served in the United States Coast Guard. He became a naval architect with an office in Grosse Pointe Farms. As a naval architect, a builder and a sailor, Fred knew boats. From a young age, he sailed on his father’s Alden designed schoo-ner BIMESA and yawl EVENING STAR, a winner of the 1938 Bayview-Mackinac race. Twenty years later his own design QUINTET captured line honors in Class C (cruising). Ford set up shop in Grosse Pointe Farms where he drew more winners: TRIM FIVE, presently in Mexico and still ready to sail another thousand miles. And the racing sloop BRIGHT STAR, perhaps his favorite boat. Ford’s Great Lakes series boats are now being restored as classics. In northern Michigan, Ford worked with builder Ted McCutcheon to produce SASSY a lively keel boat for young sailors and families. McCutcheon and Ford have been in the news again more recently as renewed interest has focussed on the WELCOME an eighteenth century sloop whose story is featured in Emmet County’s “Imagine,” July, 2014. Ford’s most enduring and closest collaboration began in an old shed on Stutsmanville Road with a young builder named Steve VanDam when they created STAR, a 33’ cold molded auxiliary cutter (Wooden Boat Magazine as “STAR: A Designer’s Own Boat”). A sister to STAR, STARSECHO—a Blue Ribbon boat in the annual Bay Harbor Concours d’Elegance—came next and then a Hacker replica, FLICKER, on original (though incomplete) lines finished by Ford and built by VanDam, she was a Replica Class Winner in the Hessel Wooden Boat Show. Summers in the area saw Ford more involved in every aspect of the local boating community: with Herb Irish, the first Irish Boat Shop got its start. His long association with Dave Irish increased the NM fleet, introduced sailing to youngsters on the Carruthers’ dock, helped to motivate the founding crew of the Little Traverse Yacht Club and initiated the first big boat regatta on Little Traverse Bay.

Fred Ford was at the wheel of his own boat until the age of 84 when he made his last cruise to the North Channel. Ashore, he continued to winter on his 58’ Hatteras, BRIGHT STAR until he was over 90. He shared 58 of those years with Nancy Brier Ford who predeceased him (May, 2001), a marriage made in heaven, tested on boats, mountains, by three kids and never found wanting.

Frederick was a member of the Little Harbor Club in Harbor Springs and the Little Traverse Yacht Club of Harbor Springs where he was a Past Commodore, the Ocean Reef Club and Key Largo Anglers Club, Country Club of Detroit and Birchwood Farms Golf and Country Club.

Frederick is survived by his daughter Susan Ford of Harbor Springs, two sons Rick (Joy) Ford of Harbor Springs and Rob (Debbie) Ford of Vail, CO., grandchildren Kelley (Sean) Owen and Christopher (Heather) Ford and great grandchildren Barrett, Sloane and Brier Owen and Hadley and Christopher Ford. Also surviving is his brother Bob (Annie) Ford of Harbor Springs. He was preceeded in death by his wife and parents.

A Memorial reception took place at the Little Traverse Yacht Club in Harbor Springs.

In lieu of flowers the family suggests that donations be made to McLaren Northern Michigan Hospital Foundation or Hospice of Little Traverse Bay.

Arrangements were made through Schiller Funeral Home of Harbor Springs.

Obituaries

I wasn’t certain that I was going to come up with any-thing to say this week. In the midst of a beautiful summer, suddenly we were seem-ingly surrounded by death. That happens, I find; all of a sudden there will be several deaths in a row and the last few days have been filled with too many funerals/memori-als. In the midst of this, I had a couple blows on a personal level. Spoiler alert: non-ani-mal people can stop reading now, but I have to write about what is on my mind.

About ten days ago I took my cat for his annual check up. He had been losing weight at an alarming rate, so we had him tested and found, sadly, that he is in renal fail-ure. Mickey will be sixteen next week, so he certainly isn’t a kitten, but he is a great cat and I am not ready to see him go anytime soon.

Three days after we got the news on Mickey, we found a lump on the front leg of Rudi, my younger boxer. We took him in the next day, had it surgically removed two days after that and this week we found out that it was cancer-ous. We’re hoping for the best and considering future op-tions, but we certainly have a cloud over our lives right now.

I am, admittedly, a bit of a freak where my animals are concerned. I buy furniture and automobiles with the comfort of my pets in mind.

We only stay at hotels that are pet friendly because, if at all possible, they travel with us (the dogs do; Mickey is not a fan of car rides.) Most of the wait staff in restaurants in this area know that if I order a bacon cheeseburger, I need the bacon on the side; it goes to the furkids in the car. We celebrate birthdays, hire a babysitter if we will be out for a long evening and, as many of you know, we dress up for the holidays. I rarely visit

anyone that doesn’t like dogs in their house and don’t even bother coming to our house if you don’t want to be around them. They are my children and you’ll be out of the house before they are.

Boxers, as a breed, have high cancer rates and reason-ably short life spans. We know that going in, but I love the breed. Many people know the “joy” of waking up with a dog face looking down at you. Boxer parents are doubly

blessed because not only are you treated to dog breath, odds are good there is slime dripping down on your face, too. The horrible snoring, the excessive gas, the drool; it is all part of the package and all worth it. They are clowns, they are lovers, they are pro-tectors and they are friends, all rolled into one.

When I see some of the fam-ilies that I know going through horrible illnesses and losing those they love, I feel selfish letting what happens with my pets bother me so much, like I need to keep some perspec-tive. The other part of me says that in my life, at least, Mickey, Oskar and Rudi are family and the thought of losing them devastates me.

So I do appreciate your in-dulgence this week; by next week I’m sure I’ll be ready to revert to form.

Many of us are also still a little shocked and much saddened by the loss of John Adams, Harbor Springs Class of ’77. I’m sure many will remember the sight of John burning up the track on his way to setting a record in the two mile. More recently, I see his big smile and friendly

wave across the grocery store or on the street. Such a sad loss of a sweet soul. Also leaving us last week was Edna Abent, two months to the day after her husband, Gary. They’re together again; I hope that thought gives a little smile and some peace to their family.

Let’s move on to some hap-pier subject, starting with a couple anniversary notes. We wish a Happy Anniversary on August 23rd to Gary and Teri Morse, on August 24th to Ber-nie and Elizabeth Schaffer and on August 27th to Arthur and Brenda Barnes.

On the birthday front, let’s begin on August 21st with birthday wishes to Kelly Compton and Jim Kinner (undoubtedly still smiling over the recent arrival of his newest grandson.) On the 22nd we send birthday greet-ing south to Kari Rye Tippett, and on Saturday, the 23rd, to the amazing shrinking man, Robbie Morris and to Jack Hodge and Jill Hodge Matchinski. Sunday, August 24th, Bernie Schaffer is cele-brating a birthday in addition to his anniversary and we also

In Memory of Joseph “Joe” SwadlingThe entire Harbor Springs community is incredibly saddened to hear of Joe’s un-timely passing away. Joe will be greatly missed and fondly remembered as a great friend to all of us. Joe was known to many as the most friendly, nic-est and best bartender at the New York Restaurant for many years. He made everyone feel welcome with his smile and laugh.

With our deepest sympathy, thoughts and prayers for his wife and two young children, an account for his family has been established entitled the “Swadling Family Benefit” care of:

First Community Bank200 East Main St.Harbor Springs, MI 49740(Attn: Sue Boyer (231) 526-2114). Please make checks payable to the “Swadling Family Benefit”.

In addition, the Schiller Funeral Home, Holy Childhood and the New York Restaurant will also have donation envelopes for them. This is an opportunity for the local community to help the family of one of our Great Guys. Thank You for helping the ones Joe loved the most. God bless you Joe.

Ode to Joe Swadling:

Joe the bartender…..A one of a kind

So many to remember...yet he did it in time.

Standing room only…Pews filled to the max..

Mixing fiction together…along with facts.

No one could have been lonely...While honoring Joe…

Family and friends…..were in overflow.

What a tribute to Joe and Allison his wife…..

That hundreds of people were celebrating his life..

To JJ and Jackie …..Be proud of your Dad….

He brightened our community….and of that we are glad.

Rest in peace Joe…..

In the Lab:FountainEditor’s Note: Featured here is Fountain, one of the teams being “acclerated” this sum-mer in Coolhouse Labs. The program brings in young creatives from around the world, most of whom spend the summer drinking (lots) of coffee and working all hours at the Lab’s Main Street loca-tion. When they leave, it’s with a sense of understanding that big things can happen in small towns, which is accompanied by a strong desire to return to this small town in particular. We checked in with Founder & Managing Director Kunal Sheth and Creative Director Thomas McKay, to learn more about their company-- and their experience so far in Har-bor Springs.

Give us the elevator pitch for your company.Kunal : We’re on a mission to create the world’s best greeting and gifting experience and bring back the lost art of the handwritten-card, one card at a time. Our service allows users to send a handwritten greeting card as easy as email.

Where did the idea come from...and what made you decide to move from idea into action?Kunal : In 2013 I launched a crowdfunding project, and in 30 days had 213 backers push me over my funding goal. I wanted to thank each backer individually by sending them a handwritten Thank You card, but opted for email instead. At the time I was busy focusing on other aspects of the project, my handwriting was chicken scratch, and I didn’t have any stationery. This is the start of Fountain. I knew if I didn’t create a better greeting and gifting service someone else would. So in October 2013 Tom and I started sketching out the first version of our platform.

What sets your business apart from what is already “out there” + what hole in the market will you be filling?Tom : Quality, Design, and simplicity. We use the best materials, have some of the coolest designed stationery, and an easy 3 step ordering process.

Kunal : The current greeting card market is missing style and class. Printed greeting cards are cheap and easy to make, but they don’t have any style. Our cards are written by real people making each one unique and timeless.

How did you decide to apply for Coolhouse Labs? What attracted you to the program most?Kunal : Being part of a newly formed accelerator, temporarily hiatus from New York City, and the chance to spend a summer in a small town. I view Coolhouse as a startup and with that comes the startup mentality. Opinions flow freely and everyone is barely qualified for what their doing. It’s the type of environment I love. Everyday at the office is different. Changes are always happening.

Tom : Kunal applied, I followed.

Were you familiar with the area at all? First impressions? Kunal : Harbor Springs is beautiful and one of the most peaceful places i’ve ever lived. I love the small town feel and I could see my self coming back every summer.

What are the benefits/challenges of working in a small town (so far)?Tom : The main benefit that comes to mind is focus. A city like New York or London is full of distractions. Biggest challenge would be scaling our business here. In New York City we could build a team of writers all within 5 miles of the office.

What local shop or restaurant has become a staple for you in Harbor Springs? Why?Kunal : I’ve become a regular at Marry Ellen’s. It has the right mix of food, atmosphere, and price.

Tom: I’d say the Stained Coffee Cup. Especially on those tough Monday mornings.

How do you think having a program like Coolhouse helps a community like this one?Tom : Coolhouse brings a bit more energy and character to the city.

Kunal: I love when people stare in as they walk by. Seeing a bunch of young people on their laptops working on startups is a very off thing to see on Main Street.

and financial support from numerous individuals, both platforms were completed just last week.”

Fleming noted that all the labor for the Fochtman plat-form was donated by Evening Star Joinery, resulting in a beautiful finished product. He also mentioned that a grant from the Petoskey-Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation helped fund the platform materials as well as an interpretive sign. An additional sign noting the impacts that Horace “Huffy” Huffman had on establish-ing three local conservation

organizations was funded by Ric and Lisa Loyd.

A few miles to the north, the platform adjacent to the Hailand Preserve offers a bike rack and invites trail users to follow the boardwalk into the preserve. From there, a trail travels through the preserve and onto the adja-cent Helstrom Family Nature Preserve. Many volunteers helped with this boardwalk and platform construction including local Eagle Scout candidate Zach Hunt, who coordinated the purchase of supplies and – along with troop members - donated many hours of labor to the

On Wednesday, August 13, the Little Traverse Township Board formally dedicated a public fountain at the town-ship’s park on M-119 at Pleas-antview Road in memory of long-time treasurer and trustee Wayne Allerding. Mr. Allerding served on the township board for 47 years, from 1965 until 2012. He died in June 2012. The park and fountain are located on the site of the former town-ship hall; after the hall was torn down, Mr. Allerding was instrumental in keeping the site in township hands and free of development so as to preserve the public’s view of Little Traverse Bay. The park has become a popular rest stop for users of the Little Traverse Wheelway. It is also

there are still many months of good trail weather to be enjoyed,” Fleming added.

Several overlook platforms completed on local trails

a convenient place for the public to watch airplanes take off and land at the adjacent Harbor Springs Airport. The fountain is made of concrete

and mortar that has been sculpted for artistic effect and bears a plaque honoring Mr. Allerding.

Taking part in the dedication were (from left) Trustee Ken Garver; Clerk Lyn-da Arman; Treasurer Connie O’Neill; Trustee Joe Chattaway; Mr. Allerding’s daughter, Nancy Topham; Mr. Allerdings widow, Ruth; Nancy’s husband, Bill; and Township Supervisor Bill Dohm. (Photo credit Preston McGregor)

As Labor Day approaches we are saying good-bye to some of our market regulars; many of the farm interns are headed back to school or on to full time jobs, Lisa Witty and her mouthwatering macaroons will be gone until next sum-mer and our customers are taking graduating seniors off to college. We will be switching to our Saturday only schedule following the holiday weekend and we will see the arrival of sweet corn, more tomatoes and pump-kins under our tents. Have you experienced “Shop with the Chef” yet? This is your opportunity to have coffee with a local chef, chat about their cooking philosophy and the dish they plan to prepare, shop the market with them,

learning some of the tricks of the trade and then watch and learn to cook with our fresh, local ingredients...tast-ing the delicious results. It’s only $25 per person for a very personal and interactive food experience, limited to six par-ticipants. This Wednesday is Charlene Hunt from Fustini’s, cooking Lake Superior salmon and next Wednesday it will be Wendy Forreider from Mus-tang Wendy’s whipping up some Tex-Mex delights. Stop in at the market tent to sign up. Our toe tapping music happens from 10 to noon and the picnic table is the perfect spot to listen and snack. This week we are hosting the Peace Meal String Band with Dale and Maureen Scott. “Just Say No to Plastic” is now officially

kicking off and we encourage our customers to bring their resusable totes, purchase one of this year’s very cool mar-ket bags or drop down a few cents to get a paper bag with handles in our effort to reduce the use of plastic thank you bags at market. You can ask our vendors to skip the plastic bag and drop your goodies into a more environmentally friendlly alternative. We have had a regular art presence at market lately, with drop in lo-cal folks and visiting Plein Air painters. They have the entire market as their subject matter and our customers can’t get enough of watching them do their work. We have a little something for everyone!

Meet you at the market,Cyndi Kramer, Market Master

One of Tip of the Mitt Water-shed Council’s most success-ful programs is the Volunteer Stream Monitoring program. This citizen-scientist water quality monitoring program, which to date has educated and engaged hundreds of vol-unteers, helps conduct water quality monitoring at 37 stream sites within the Watershed Council’s service area.

Twice a year, the Watershed Council provides an in depth training that includes both indoor and outdoor compo-nents and covers all aspects of the monitoring program, including the program his-tory, monitoring protocols,

sampling methods, and basic aquatic macroinvertebrate identification. Any person or group willing to devote a small amount of time and energy to conduct simple stream checks in wadeable rivers and streams on a bi-annual basis (spring and fall) can become a member of the Stream Team.Fall stream monitoring events will take place on the following dates:

INSIDE/OUTSIDE COMPETITIVE PRICES

Michael Cromley’s hero and grandfather was the first game warden in Traverse City. He raised Cromley to love and respect the woods and the animals living there. After a long and varied ca-reer, Cromley moved back to Northern Michigan and got involved with the Timber Wolf Alliance’s speaker group and became a member of International Wolves out of Minnesota.

On Monday, August 25, at 7:00 p.m. Cromley will pres-ent his program on “Wolves of Northern Michigan” at the Carnegie Building in downtown Petoskey. He will share the history of the wolf not only in Michigan but also around the world. Some of the topics that will be discussed during the evening are: when the last wolf left the Michigan area over 70 years ago; try-ing to introduce a pack back into Michigan; the migration into the Upper and Lower Peninsulas; the wolf hunt of 2013 and what is happen-ing in 201;, how to tell a wolf

sighting and/or track; what is in the future and how can we help. It will include such items as: the DNR’s responsi-bility, methods for protecting livestock and pets and why breeding dogs with wolves is not a good idea.

With over 50 years teach-ing experience, Cromley has taught at secondary-level and lectured on the college level in several subjects in both Illinois and Michigan.

He was a guidance coun-selor in academic, career and personal adjustment at the secondary and college level. In addition, he has management experience in supervision, evaluation, site-planning, service design and implementation. Cromley has also sat on several non-profit boards.

This event is open to the public and admission is free. It is sponsored by the Petos-key District Library and the Friends of the Library. For more information, call the Library at 231-758-3100.

The fall Treasure Downtown Contest is soon to be un-derway! Starting the first of September and continuing through the end of November, this contest is a Shop Local in-centive that is targeted at any-one, regardless of where they live, who loves or “treasures” Downtown Petoskey. To enter, all you need to do is pick up an official entry envelope and use it to save receipts from all of your Downtown purchases. Envelopes are available at the Petoskey Downtown Office, 216 Park Avenue, and at the Petoskey Regional Chamber of Commerce. When you have saved $500 worth of receipts you can turn them in and you will be entered to win $1,000 worth of Downtown Treasure Certificates and Free Parking in Downtown for one full year! You may enter as many times as you spend $500. Copies of your receipts can be sub-stituted for the original and any receipts from September 1 through November 30, 2014 are acceptable. Contest details are available at the Downtown Office and atwww.petoskeydowntown.com.

Treasure Certificates are Downtown Petoskey gift certificates that are redeem-able only at merchants in Downtown Petoskey. These certificates look a little bit like Monopoly money and are available for purchase in $5, $10, $20, and $25 dol-lar amounts. Almost every Downtown merchant par-ticipates in the program and the certificates work just like cash. Imagine winning a stack of these certificates worth $1,000 to spend in any of the fine businesses in Downtown!

The Treasure Downtown Contest is being promoted by the Downtown Marketing Committee. Integrated into their Shop Local campaign, this promotion encourages all people who love Downtown Petoskey; resorters, second home owners, tourists, and those who live here every day, to make Downtown their first thought when wonder-ing about where to make their purchases. Downtown’s tagline, “Treasures from the Shores to the Stores,” pro-vided the perfect link.

Over the years this contest has been won by both local shoppers and visitors. Some-times the shopper qualified to enter several times and some-times they only entered once. One of the winners spent all of her winnings in under a week and others have taken a year or more to spend it all. One special winner donated all of her certificates to the Women’s Resource Center with the intention that they would help someone who was going through a struggle have a little cheer in their life. Many contest entrants have remarked about how quickly the receipts can add up, especially if you work in Downtown. Restaurant, sa-lon services, lodging, and all other shopping receipts are acceptable.

Downtown Promotions Coordinator, Kate Manthei, says, “I’ve been getting feed-back all summer about how wonderful all the unique shops Downtown are, es-pecially from parents who hunted for Waldo with their children during the month of July. It’s so fun to see people ‘discover’ our Downtown. The Treasure Downtown Contest is a great excuse, if you really need an excuse, to discover for yourself all that Downtown Petoskey has to offer.”

Let’s Be CopsOkay, to be honest I wasn’t in the best of moods when I saw this movie, so I thought, “Maybe it’s just me; it’s doing great at the box office.” So I went out and read audience comments along with the critics’ reviews. It wasn’t just me.

To call this movie sophomoric would be a compliment. The humor pretty much relies completely on profanity and sex jokes. I’m thinking there is an audience out there, it did well at the box office, but I’m not part of that audience. If you thought Beerfest was a great movie, for example, and that The Hangover was amazing cinema, this might be for you. Most of the “best” moments are shown in the trailers, so you can decide from that if it is worth your time.

The premise of the movie (believe me, the word plot really doesn’t apply) is two guys who dress as cops for a party and when they are mistaken for the real thing, they decide to continue the ruse. Problem is, they get involved in some actual dangerous criminal activity. There are no surprises; I could have written the ending fifteen minutes into the movie.

The fault here lies with the writers, not necessarily with the cast. Jack Johnson and Damon Wayans, Jr., are both charming in their own way and they have decent chemisty. Nina Dobrev is lovely, no denying that, and I’m sure all three do their very best without much given to them. Rob Riggle irritates me, I’m not certain why. I’ve not liked him in anything that I’ve seen him in; I think of him as a poor man’s Patrick Warburton, without the charm.

Rated “R” (and if it wasn’t, there would be no plot at all.) There is nudity (male) and lots of sexual innuendo and situations, some violence and enough profanity to cover the next four or five movies you might see. Not for kids, though they might be the only ones to really enjoy this.

Street Musique

Thursday evenings, all sum-mer from 7-9 pm. The streets of downtown Harbor Springs will be filled with many different styles of music offered block to block, Music can be enjoyed while eating ice cream with the kids or just strolling on a nice summer evening walk.
