THIS LETTER BEGINS IN BALI, INDONESIA, AS I SAY GOODBYE TO AN AMAZING CULTURE. I will be leaving on the Chinese New Year. Bali has become a significant destination for the Chinese while they celebrate their colorful holiday. In Kuta, I was in the midst of Europeans and Australians, and as I moved to Ubud, the streets became crowded with Chinese guests. The past week has been an unexpected delight, because the Cendana Gardens did not have Internet. It is to be repaired while I am well on my way to the USA. It was a gift! I did try to go outside the compound to check in at least every couple of days. Seems everything was just fine in New Buffalo without me:) I have arrived in Seoul, South Korea, after a flight out of Denpasar in the middle of the night. With a three-hour layover, I thought it would be a perfect time to finish my postcard from across the Pacific and Indian Oceans. I love this airport—it’s beautiful and efficient. As I look at my email, it seems the DDA Parking Plan for 2017 is underway. Looks like there’s a lot of work to be done in a short amount of time. I feel sure they will get it done with the dedicated volunteers and the expertise behind the plan. Subcommittees will be meeting on a regular basis and progress work sessions will be held to keep everyone posted. New Buffalo Times will be there to keep our readers informed. I look forward to working with everyone on this important project.

Seems I got caught up in the parking plans for New Buffalo while my plane is ready to board.

See you in Harbor Country. I’m back!

Chikaming Township to seek input during open house

N

orthville-based municipal services firm McKenna Associates is assisting Chikaming Township with an update of its Zoning Ordinance. To begin the process, the Township is looking for input from its residents.

“Before we start the Ordinance revision process, we need to hear from our residents,” said Township Supervisor David Bunte. “We are looking forward to hearing what residents think the future should look like in Chikaming Township, and how we can use zoning to get to there.”

The Zoning Ordinance is being updated to provide more efficient standards for the use of land in Chikaming Township and implementing the goals of the Township’s recently adopted Master Plan. One of the Township’s top priorities is enhancing the character of the community centers within the Township, including Sawyer, Harbert, Lakeside, and Union Pier. The Township is also committed to protecting its lakefront, farmlands, woodlands, and other natural areas.

In order to develop the specifics, the Township needs to hear from its citizens.

“As we look toward the future of the Township, we need to make sure that our vision is shared by our residents,” Bunte said. “Our zoning ordinance should reflect the improvements the residents want in their community.”

In order to do that, the Township is hosting an open house from 7 to 9 p.m. on February 8 at Chikaming Township Hall.

The format will be free-form, with participants free to arrive whenever it is convenient for them and to stay for as long as they want. Professionals from McKenna and officials from the Township’s Zoning Ordinance Steering Committee will be on hand to listen to ideas and concerns.

“I want to see our Township Hall packed with people,” Bunte said. “We want as many residents to participate as possible.”

Throughout the Ordinance update process, the Steering Committee will be convening focus groups with residents who are interested in a particular topic, such as lakefront preservation, commercial development, agriculture, and residential neighborhoods. Residents who are interested can sign up at the open house or contact Steering Committee cochairs Dick Carlson (rcarlson@chikamingtownship.org) and Gary Wood (gwood@chikamingtownship.org).

The Steering Committee will also provide periodic email updates to interested residents. Residents can sign up for those updates at the open house as well, or can contact the Township at 269-469-1676.

After a series of interviews this fall, the Steering Committee engaged McKenna as a consultant to assist with the process.

The McKenna team includes Senior Vice President Chris Doozan, AICP, Principal Planner Chris Khorey, AICP, and Senior Principal Consultant Rebecca Harvey, AICP. “We’re very excited to be working in Chikaming Township,” Doozan said. “It’s a beautiful community with a lot of potential. We’re hoping to develop an ordinance that both achieves the goals of the Master Plan and is easy to use.”

The Ordinance ultimately will provide the Planning Commission and Township Board with information they need to make decisions about land use and policy. The Township aims to adopt the new Ordinance by the end of 2017.

On a daily basis, McKenna Associates provides community planning, landscape architecture, urban design, zoning, economic development, community relations, public participation, and municipal wireless services to more than 150 cities, counties, townships, villages and select private firms across the Midwest. McKenna’s success can be measured by its 33-year history of longstanding relationships with municipalities that value the creative spirit embodied by the firm’s team of professionals and its concept-driven approach to problem-solving. Headquartered in Northville, Michigan, McKenna maintains branch offices in Kalamazoo and Detroit.

URGE UPTOWN... ep. Upton needs to schedule a Community Meeting on health care Change is coming, and women in this community want to be included in discussing issues that directly affect us. One of the pressing issues is congressional Republicans’ planned repeal and replacement of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). We are particularly concerned with the impact that this action might have on women’s health.

Along with a few friends, I met recently with Representative Fred Upton’s Senior Staffer, Mike Ryan, to learn where the Representative stood on women’s healthcare issues as they relate to the potential repeal/replace of the ACA. We shared a list of services that are currently covered, but that may not be covered under a replacement plan. A few of these services are: cervical cancer screening, breast cancer screening, osteoporosis screening, and contraception. Prior to the Affordable Care Act, many of these services were not included in a standard healthcare policy. In many cases, OB/ GYN services had to be added to a person’s policy and extra charges were incurred.

In light of the drastic actions being taken by the new administration, we do not trust that coverage will continue for women’s preventive health care services. Eliminating these important preventive services will impair women’s health and increase overall health care costs.

During our meeting with Mike Ryan we strongly urged Rep. Upton to schedule a Community Meeting so he can answer questions from his constituents and assure us of his commitment to fight for continued protection of women’s health coverage. Given the rapid timeline for repeal and replace, and the limited amount of time the Representative is in town, it is reasonable for our community to ask for a meeting to be assured that our Congressman is fighting for our concerns. Individual and small group meetings do not meet the needs of the community at large.

Health care is not a partisan issue, and we all need to know that our voices are heard.

I strongly urge Representative Upton to schedule a Community Meeting very soon to discuss his ideas for repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act. If you agree, please contact Fred Upton’s office: (269) 982-1986, 720 Main Street, St. Joseph, MI 49085.

Railroad Museum benefits from give-back dinner

T

LINDA HENDERSON IN NEW BUFFALO

he New Buffalo Railroad Museum was the beneficiary of the first 2017 give-back dinner hosted by the Bentwood Tavern in the Marina Grand Resort.

The first of the winter monthly give-back dinners had supporters climbing aboard to support the local museum and enjoy a night of fine dining on the waterfront in the Bentwood Tavern.

The New Buffalo Railroad museum was founded in 1989 and exhibits artifacts relating to the rail industry. It also houses items of historic interest and value to the greater New Buffalo area. The museum is operated by a small staff and a group of very enthusiastic volunteers who believe in the importance of preserving local history.

To enjoy an afternoon of family fun and enrichment, visit the museum at 530 South Whittaker Street. For more information, visit the website at www.newbufalorailroadmuseum.org.

Throughout the next four months, one area non-for-profit will benefit from the dinner and social evening. The Bentwood Tavern gives back 50 percent of all food and beverage revenue from one designated evening. The full menu of artisan comfort cuisine, crafted

by Chef Jenny Drilon and Chef Alberto Ilescas, is available for dining, and the bar is always open for cocktails and mingling with friends.

The February dinner will be held Wednesday, Feb. 22, and will benefit the New Buffalo Service League Scholarship Fund.

Managing Director Robert Kemper and his wife Collette started the give-back program in 2008 to help raise funds for a local school student trip to Washington, D.C. To date, the Marina Grand Resort/ Bentwood Tavern has donated over $90,000 through this program to over 45 non-profit organizations and community initiatives throughout Southwest Michigan and Northwest Indiana.

Reservations are always suggested. Please visit www. marinagrandresort.com or call 269-469-9900. The Bentwood Tavern is located in the Marina Grand Resort at 600 West Water Street in New Buffalo.

On Valentine’s Day, Consider Financial Gifts Valentine’s Day is almost here.

This year, why not give your loved one a gift that will last long after the chocolates are eaten and the flowers have wilted?

Specifically, consider making some type of financial gift.

For starters, you could write a check for your valentine to deposit in his or her IRA. Many people don’t “max out” on their IRAs each year, so your gift will likely be quite welcome.

Also, consider making a charitable gift in the name of your valentine. You can get a tax deduction for a gift of cash, but if you give a financial asset – such as a stock – that has appreciated in value, you can typically deduct the value of the asset and avoid paying capital gains taxes.

Here’s another financial gift suggestion: Help your valentine start an emergency fund to pay for unexpected costs, such as a major car repair or out-of-pocket medical expenses. It’s a good idea to keep the money in a liquid, low-risk account.

A financial gift can brighten your sweetheart’s Valentine’s Day – and many other days as well.

This is Charles M. Stein, your Edward Jones financial advisor located at 4221 Lake Street in Bridgman, Michigan. Please call (269) 465-4606 for more information.

New Buffalo women share stories of joining the historic equality marches

In the wake of the historic marches held around the world on January 21, 2017, a small group of New Buffalo High School graduates started comparing stories and sharing their passions via an online group. What emerged were personal accounts and the driving forces behind how these graduates went from pledging their loyalty to New Buffalo High to standing with and for the causes and people they believe in.

CHERIE SEITZ, 41 1993 NBHS Graduate Director of Education, Planned Parenthood Resides in Kalamazoo

I

graduated New Buffalo high school in 1993 and went on to college to study family life education. My first job after graduate school was as a sexuality educator for Planned Parenthood. Here I am, 18 years later, still with Planned Parenthood, now as a Director of Education. It’s not likely a surprise to say I participated in the recent Women’s March in Lansing to rally for reproductive rights, selfdetermination and medically accurate sexual health education and services, especially for the 65,000 people across the state who depend on Planned Parenthood.

I participated to learn from and listen to voices often marginalized and decentralized in decisions that affect them. I am a life-long organizer around social issues and on this day I marched because black lives matter. I marched in solidarity for the safety, respect and opportunities for Muslims, immigrants, people with disabilities, the aging, teens, children, veterans, LGBTQ individuals and families, assault survivors, native land and First Nation peoples.

I marched because public education is at risk and healthcare is a fundamental right. I marched to demand our legislators protect our water sources, our climate and our futures.

There is much work to do to address the many injustices in the world, both outside and even within these movements. But as one marcher said: “change does not begin, and does not end, with one day of rallying. It is what we do today and each day after that will matter even more.” Imagine if all of us now did something every day for the issues that matter most to us.

INTRODUCTION BY BY RACHEL SPROVTSOFF STROUD

to lift up every woman in this country from a life of abuse, poverty, racism and marginalization.

It’s 2017 and this is love’s time to win.

Come hell or high water, I’m going to be there to help it.

“Sometimes you just have to take the leap and build your own wings.” Kobi Yamada

JODI (KANGER) SHELLEY, 41

I

marched because it is 2017 and we are not equal.

It’s time we all acknowledge our place in the greater WE. We have grown too focused on our individual struggles and the selfish pursuit of our own comfort only keeps us all down. I plan to use the privileges I have to help every woman rise and to help humanity rise together in love.

I also marched because I’m angry.

Angry that it is 2017 and we still have to talk about how we are not equal.

I marched for women’s health, women’s pay, women’s insurance. For the freedom to love here, live here, thrive here, kiss a boy here, kiss a girl here, pee wherever ya want here.

I marched because guns in the wrong people’s hands kill women, lack of insurance kills women, lack of Planned Parenthood resources kills women, racism kills women, lack of sexual rights kills women.

And we are so sick and tired of our mothers, sisters, friends, lovers and daughters being killed.

We’re tired of smiling on demand.

Being judged on a scale from 1-10. Being talked over, looked over, walked over.

Left behind in class, left behind in the office, left behind a dumpster.

And, of course, I marched for two very personal reasons: my sons. They deserve to grow up in a world where we don’t talk about how to SURVIVE alone, but how to THRIVE together.

I went to D.C. because I want them to know that one voice can and does matter.

We can choose to sit in the dark and be angry about it, or we can choose to turn on the light. I want to show them the power of one light piercing the darkness.

The march was only a moment, a symbol. The real work is happening.

We have our congress people on speed dial, our to-do lists, our wallets ready.

We’re putting in (yet another) work shift to take actions that hold the current Public Servant in office accountable

EMILY DONNELLY, 23 2012 NBHS Graduate Resides in New Buffalo

I

cultures, languages and ways of life who come together and make up a whole, a nation. This America celebrates diversity and is kind to its neighbor.

This America is open, listens and tries to empathize with and understand differing viewpoints. This America chooses acceptance over exclusion, openness over fear and love over hate. While these are high ideologies and dreams, there was someone else who had a dream and I desire to be a part of a movement taking up the torch where Dr. King left off and to stand up in a non-violent way toward love and equality, for I am called to LOVE.

thought it was important to go because I had been hearing a lot of negative talk about policy lately and I wanted to show that I didn’t

agree with those words.

I wanted to show that if any rights were threatened, I wasn’t going to just sit by.

I was able to march with my great aunt and her daughter, as well as my aunt, making us three generations of marchers. Being a part of that was an amazing feeling.

COURTNEY KLISS, 25 2010 NBHS Graduate Resides in New Buffalo

I

think it’s important to show up.

If you believe in something, and you’re physically able to do so, then represent yourself and the cause you’re fighting for. I don’t think anything has ever been more important to me than this, standing up for the rights of women and those who have been oppressed and marginalized.

This is our future, and being complacent is not an option.

SHELBY SEXTON, 24 2010 NBHS Graduate Resides in New Buffalo

SALLY GRAYSON, 41

1993 NBHS Graduate Artist and musician Resides outside Stuttgart, Germany

I

marched for equality, for we are all 100% equally valuable and worthy of love. ALL. No matter what race, gender, religion, sexual identity, political stance or anything else that could separate us, we are all worthy of equality and love. I marched for those marginalized and those who are getting trampled down. I marched to hold their hand and help them up, for I, too,desire to be picked up if trampled upon.

I miss my country, but I’m thankful that to have been a part of this movement while marching in Heidelberg, Germany.

I marched for the America I love and miss, the one I see as a beautiful melting pot of people from all different countries,

T

he march was 100% peaceful and it was refreshing to be around thousands of others standing up for what we all believe in: positive change. I brought a flag with to wave whilst walking and I had people sign it with reasons why they were marching: “For my daughter,” “Because my mother left her whole life behind for this country,” “Reproductive rights are human rights,” and “Here to support all of the nasty women in my life,”were just a few things people wrote.

ARENA

From the Bleachers COLUMN BY KURT MARGGRAF IN CHICAGO

T

his has been a particularly dreary January and I was more than ready to have some fun. I believe I read that we’ve only had five days of sun this entire month. I really needed something to lift me out of my doldrums. Fortunately, my daughter and her family came to the rescue by inviting me to join them in Michigan City to see the Harlem Globetrotters.

As game day approached, I began to do a little research. Did you realize the Globetrotters originated in the south side of Chicago in 1926 and were called the Chicago GlobeTrotters? In 1928, they became the New York Harlem Globetrotters and since 1929 they have been known simply as the Harlem Globetrotters.

I was fascinated to read that the team didn’t play one game in Harlem until 1968. Before the rise of the NBA, the Globetrotters would play in large arenas like the Chicago Stadium. They have adjusted with the times and this year will play in 250 cities in North America along with 30 countries worldwide. At least four Globetrotters, including Wilt Chamberlain, went on to play in the NBA. The first female, Olympian Lynette Woodard, joined the team in 1985. Baseball hall of farmers Ernie Banks, Ferguson Jenkins, and Bob Gibson also played at various times. That’s enough about the history, let’s move on to Michigan City High School, Tuesday, Jan. 24.

I arrived at my daughter’s house and, after some initial negotiations, was delighted to find out that the whole family was going to the game. There was some heavy interest in the New Buffalo High School and La Lumiere Schools basketball games, but in the end, everyone decided to go see the Globetrotters and no one came away disappointed. The Cager vs Globetrotters entire family, from six months to 69 years, had a lot of fun. The Globetrotters are much more than just a basketball team.

I think the part of their game I enjoyed the most was their inclusion of the kids, both young and old. Even before the team started their famous circle to begin the game, the players had the crowd participating. As I looked around the gymnasium, I saw miles and miles of smiles.

Everyone was having fun.

Some of the stunts, like throwing a bucket of water (that turns out to be confetti) into the crowd, have been going on for Globie years. The team has added a few new wrinkles to their game.

Their opponent is no longer the Washington Generals; they are now the World All Stars. The All Stars feature a giant of a man called Cager. He is almost 8 feet tall and can dunk a basketball without hardly leaving the floor. The game features a four-point line that’s 30 feet from the basket. One of the Globetrotters played defense by pulling himself on top of the basket, then sitting there, catching the all-stars shots and turning them into fast break opportunities.

While the game is all about having fun, these guys have mad skills.

I believe everyone was smiling and whistling Sweet Georgia Brown as they left the gym. I know I was.

Randy Pausch said, “ Never, ever underestimate the importance of having fun.” Be careful out there. Make good choices. Keep smiling.

Talk to you next week. Peace, love, and happiness.

Andrew Coffeen Bridgman Game

R

Bison sting the Bees, corral the Mustangs

ecently, the New Buffalo Varsity basketball team captured a pair of victories against their local rivals.

On Saturday, Jan. 21, the Bison beat the Bridgman Bees by a score of 60-41. The game was close throughout the first half and the Bees held a 28-22 advantage at half time; however, the Bison came out after the half on fire. New Buffalo shot 65.2 percent in the second half and went on a 14-0 run in the third quarter to put themselves permanently ahead.

“Coming here to Bridgman is always fun, they’re probably our biggest rival, and to come in and play like that in the second half I’m proud of my boys,” said Coach Randy Mast.

Julian Hymes led the Bison, scoring with 14 points. Creo Brewster had 13 points, Gaige Rice 12, and Seth Margaritis 10. Hymes led the rebounding effort with seven and Ryan Butler captured six.

Tuesday, Jan. 24, the Bison hosted the River Valley Mustangs in a Harbor Country showdown on a night that also highlighted cancer awareness. All players from both varsity and junior varsity teams chose to play for a cancer survivor or victim. There was a pre-game ceremony, with introductions featuring this information. It was very moving and meaningful, and the spectators in the gym, “on the court rivals,” put any hard feelings Julian Hymes Bridgman Game aside for the common goal of eliminating cancer. The game ended up being very lopsided, as New Buffalo cruised to a 69-21 win. All members of the team scored during the game.

Tied for highest points were Tim Mayer and Seth Margaritis, with 11 points each. Hymes had 10, Brewster seven, Butler, Nigel Durham and Pat Griffin had six each, Gaige Rice and Andrew Coffeen each contributed four, and Sotiri Margaritis and Garrett Mullen each had two.

Unfortunately, the Bison fell to Mendon Friday, Jan. 20, 2017; however, they still hold an outstanding 7-3 record and are 4-1 in BCS conference play.

Buffalo Crawl, Winterfest warms spirits

A

Monkey Jamie Ketch with Abomidable Snowman Ryan Mitchell

LINDA HENDERSON IN NEW BUFFALO

n official buffalo mascot led the faithful around New Buffalo for the second annual Winterfest Pub Crawl Saturday, Jan. 28.

Heads turned and cars honked horns in support of the revelers as the initial group, dressed for fun and cold weather, departed the New Buffalo City Beach at 12:45 p.m. for their first warm-up, Stray Dog Bar and Grill. Once everyone enjoyed a few libations and a warm lunch, the entourage, which gathered many more followers, headed to Brewster’s Italian Café. Following that stop, the crawl proceeded to a private residence, where they were treated to a warm fireplace and cold beers, before departing to the New Buffalo Yacht Club. There, even more fans awaited to toast the energetic group and enjoy a winter afternoon of fun and comradery. In the early evening, those still crawling made their way to Casey’s for one last round.

Participants went all out and sported festive gear for this year’s crawl. There were onesie pajamas boasting favorite teams and cartoon characters, an abominable snowman and a monkey (both of whom were drafted at the last minute) and even a strip of bacon and an authentic chef. Many in the group wore crazy and funny hats rather than full costumes.

The famous Rocky Balboa even The Gang kicks it off at the Stray Dog made a surprise appearance, traveling from Philadelphia to join the crawl.

Friends and family members of the organizers, Greg Dougherty (half of the Bison) and Cathi Croson (Bacon Strip) joined them from near and far. Some hailed from as far away as Park City, Utah; Fort Worth, Texas; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Indianapolis, Indiana to be part of this fun event and support their old college comrade, the buffalo. The crawl is a time for them to come together, share a few laughs and libations, and celebrate their lifelong friendship. For everyone else, it is a time to make new friends, renew acquaintances and enjoy a great winter day in Harbor Country.

“It was a great success and we look forward to an even bigger crawl next year,” Dougherty said.

The third annual crawl is already in the works for Jan. 27, 2018.

Everyone is welcome to join in the walk/crawl, meet new friends and make new memories.

The organizers say of the day’s dress code: “Clothing is advised, but not required!” Although with temperatures in the ’20s, warm outfits are the preferred way to travel.

Choosing the proper tea and enhancements

Susan M. (Fournier) Langlais

High tea among the books

A

variety of herbal and flavored teas accompanied dainty treats and sumptuous sweets at the third annual afternoon tea party held at the New Buffalo Township Library Sunday, Jan. 29, in honor of National Hot Tea Month.

Over 70 ladies, and a few gentlemen, gathered in their finery in the Pokagon Room to enjoy a social afternoon while indulging in high tea in the proper English tradition.

Many of the guests donned fancy hats as they assembled around the beautifully appointed tea tables. Fresh floral centerpieces highlighted the garden party theme on the tables, which were set with hand painted china tea cups, saucers and dessert plates, vintage crystal condiment holders and silver utensils.

As a special accent, the library staff provided handmade cloth napkins for each table setting.

Guests were treated to a large selection of teas to accompany chicken salad finger sandwiches and traditional cucumber dill sandwiches. The sweets table overflowed with treats prepared by the staff and by Chef Jackie Shen of Jackie’s Café. The party also offered vegan and gluten free selections.

Eight lucky winners took home gift certificates to local businesses. There were $50 gift certificates from New Buffalo Inn & Spa, courtesy of Lisa Werner and private donors and a $25 gift certificate to Jackie’s Café.

As the afternoon drew to a close, guests raved about the delightful winter afternoon spent enjoying tea and crumpets the old-fashioned way. — COMPILED BY LINDA

Charles I. Moore 1940-2017

harles (Charlie) Moore passed on Friday, January 27, at the Hanson Hospice Center in Stevensville. He had been suffering from leukemia and a heart condition for several years.

Charlie was born to parents Hazel and Charles Moore January 10, 1940, in Dundee, Michigan. His parents and sisters Sarah and Dorothy preceded him in death.

Charlie was gregarious and best known here for his Season’s Harvest line of foods that he retailed at his charming store in Harbert. The line was also sold wholesale across the country and at Crate and Barrel, Williams Sonoma, and other upscale retailers. Amongst many sauces, he marketed butterscotch featuring his beloved golden Labrador in a tryptic photo on the jar’s label. Her name is Butterscotch. He was a member of many professional associations; locally he was an earlier member of the Harbor Country Chamber of Commerce, and the Harbert Business Association and participated in their umbrella auction. A graduate of the U of M, he was an ardent football fan and went to the games for decades regardless of rain, sleet, or snow.

He is survived by his nieces Marta Monson and Tina Halverson, and nephew Eric Monson all whom he adored. He attended his great nephew’s wedding in Colorado this past August where he was especially celebrated by his adoring family.

Charlie was always an innovator in retail starting with his first store in Dundee, which was an old drug store where he threw out the drugs, and introduced many other products in perfume, jewelry and gifts. Dundee didn’t know what hit them. It was a great success.

His second store was in Ypsilanti where he worked his retail magic on that store as well; it became a destination store for Eastern University students and townspeople alike. It was next door to another start-up shop called Domino’s Pizza. Both did quite well thereafter.

Those first stores emboldened him to create the Stanger’s Design emporiums named after his merchant grandfather, with sprawling stores located in Birmingham, Ann Arbor and East Lansing. He won two of the “Best Store Design in the US” awards from the revered Gift and Decorative Accessories publication. He published one of the earliest gift catalogs that was a forerunner of many to follow.

In later years, he relocated to Chicago and established CMA, a sales repping firm for the gift industry located on Clark Street near the Mart. CMA soon represented the best of the contemporary home decor merchandise in the country. He followed this huge showroom success with the acquisition of a troubled food company that he turned around and made a stunning success. He named it Season’s Harvest, a legend in its own time. He also convinced the city fathers to allow him to open Chicago’s first sidewalk cafe called “Quadrant.”

There will be a Memorial Service and Celebration of Charlie’s life on Saturday, February 4, at 3 p.m. at Converge Church, New Buffalo. Reverends Jeff Dryden and Dave Evans officiating, with eulogies by relatives and friends. Entertainment, with the brilliant David Lahm at the keyboard with the outstanding vocalists Frank Casorio, Cindy Dryden and others performing. Hors d’ eouvres by Mesa Luna, Schu’s Grille and Bar, and others, with beverage offerings.

In lieu of flowers please donate to Charlie’s favorite charity, the Michiana Humane Society at www. michianahumanesociety.org, or bring donations to the memorial.

HOROSCOPE FEBRUARY 2-8, 2017

AS INTERPRETED BY SANDY “STAR” BENDT ARIES MARCH 21—APRIL 19 The power dimension in your relationships will undergo some shifts this week, and you may question how much influence you will allow others to have over your public life. Your reputation and social standing appears to be hinged on their approval, but ultimately you are the one in control. Take back your power.

LIBRA SEPTEMBER 23—OCTOBER 22 This week you may experience a bit of uncertainty or indecision when it comes to where you previously took a stand on community issues.

You are generally very private and prefer to keep your personal preferences to yourself.

Some social issues may hit home this week causing you to be more outspoken.

TAURUS

Head strong and persistence are key attributes for Taurus.

The important thing is to work smarter, not harder. If you are struggling with work projects or feel under pressure to produce results, look at the alternative routes others have taken and follow their advice. Avoid being single-minded; expand your thinking.

SCORPIO OCTOBER 23—NOVEMBER 21 Be cautious with the way you react to partners this week.

Your outward experiences may be more of a projection than you realize. Don’t let how you feel about yourself color the way you interpret how others are trying to show their support. Talking about past experiences may help you resolve any insecurities.

GEMINI MAY 21—JUNE 21 Don’t shy away from contributing or getting involved in social programs.

Get involved by sharing your experiences and your knowledge. Be proud of who you are, what you have been through and what you can contribute. Monetary contributions are nice, but active participation is better.

SAGITTARIUS NOVEMBER 22—DECEMBER 21 If you are having difficulty with understanding paperwork of any kind, before you get frustrated, ask for help. Admitting that you are having difficulty is not a sign of weakness, but rather a sign of intelligence. Financial documents or service manuals can be hard to understand. Why not call a professional?

CANCER JUNE 22—JULY 22 You will be bit defensive and more cautious than usual with family. The best approach is to stay on the listening end of conversations. Ask questions that require more than yes or no answers. If you disagree, have them explain their position more fully, rather than challenging them with your own perspectives.

CAPRICORN DECEMBER 22—JANUARY 19 Conflicts between your personal views and your responsibilities as a leader may occur this week. Strong leadership is important, but a dictatorship is overwhelming. Take some time to reflect on the role of a good leader. Separate your personal relationships from business relationships, and don’t blur boundaries.

LEO JULY 23—AUGUST 22 Work through any occupational difficulties you are experiencing by talking things out. Vocalize your fears with coworkers. Sometimes when you say things out loud they make more sense than when you just think about them.

Also, it’s nice to get feedback from those that work alongside you. Form alliances.

AQUARIUS JANUARY 20—FEBRUARY 18 Look it up. Learn how to find things out on your own.

Don’t settle on one opinion or point of view. You have an inquisitive mind yet you are known to get lazy because understanding technical information tends to come easy.

Issues at hand are not technical in nature, they are personal. Big difference.

VIRGO AUGUST 23—SEPTEMBER 22 You’re going to be somewhat restless and mentally charged this week. Let go of pent up energies at the gym, or take a brisk walk. If you take the time to engage monetary issues early in the week, it will free up any reservations you have about making plans for the days surrounding the upcoming full moon, next week.

PISCES FEBRUARY 19—MARCH 20 Those we consider problematic are usually put in our path because we are not listening to the guidance we have been given. Awkward situations or uncooperative people tend to push us out of our comfort zones and help us expand beyond our limitations. Break free of emotional traps by comfortably detaching.
