NBPD responds to report of vandalism on the beach

T

he New Buffalo Police Department recently responded to a report of vandalism that took place on New Buffalo Public Beach.

According to New Buffalo Police Department police report, officers met with New Buffalo Beach Club owner Dustin Harvey and New Buffalo Parks Director Kristen D’Amico Thursday, May 16, who reported that someone had damaged both Harvey’s property and city property overnight.

Harvey showed officers one of the flag poles on the backside of the building that had been knocked down and broken. He then reported that the volleyball poles on the beach had been knocked over and the life ring case attached to the small lifeguard tower had been broken apart. The ring had also been thrown out into the water.

The police report went on to state that multiple different tire tracks and footprints on the beach were present. The wooden four-by-four post by the volleyball net had also been removed . Two sets of adult shoe impressions around the location in the sand were also present.

The police report states that the door to the bright yellow life ring case at the second lifeguard tower on New Buffalo Public Beach had been “forcibly broken apart,” with a large section of it thrown into Lake Michigan, approximately 10 feet from shore and in approximately four feet of water.

It was observed that the steel door located on the south side of the lighthouse tower room building had what appeared to be “fresh damage;” the door appeared to be “bowed on the lower left side and had fresh paint chipping.” Officers have since located the wooden four-by-four pole laying next to the lighthouse that had fresh white paint and damage at the end of it. At this time, the report states that the damage on the pole matched the damage on the building.

At this time, it is estimated that the flagpole cost approximately $200.

As of Tuesday, May 28, this is an open pending investigation. Anyone with any further information should contact the New Buffalo Police Department at 269-4691593. — STAFF REPORTS

Yacht Club celebrates Blessing of the Fleet with the burning of socks

A

pproximately 40 people attended New Buffalo Yacht Club’s annual Blessing of the Fleet Saturday, May 25, which was held on the yacht club’s patio.

Member David Ambers gave an opening prayer, which was followed by a scripture reading and prayer from Father John Peter Ambrose of St Mary of the Lake Catholic Church in New Buffalo. After the prayer, Father John walked down the docks to bless the boats with holy water, including the U.S. Coast Guard boat, which came for the event.

Five members of the U.S. Coast Guard were in attendance. The blessing of the fleet is meant to ensure a safe boating season.

Immediately following the Blessing of the Fleet, many people took off their socks and threw them in a fire pit, where they were doused with lighter fluid and lit on fire.

New Buffalo Yacht Club Commodore Dana Hybl said that the concept of burning socks while drinking beer began in 1978, when Captain Bob Turner, who managed the Annapolis Yacht Yard at the time, shed his dirty socks, dropped them in a paint-roller tray, sprinkled them liberally with lighter fluid and put a match to the mess. He thought it seemed like a good idea and saluted it with a beer. By the end of that winter, his socks were ruined from all the paint, varnish and fiberglass he used when working on other people’s boats.

Other sailors embraced the event, ceremoniously stripping off socks and burning them. (Once boating season starts, nobody wears socks.)

New Buffalo Yacht Club Vice Commodore of Sail Tom Smith, who is originally from Boston, brought the “burning of the socks” tradition to the New Buffalo Yacht Club last year.

C & A Arborists Inc. Employee Gains Certified Treecare Safety Professional Status

Michael Dombrowski recently completed the Certified Treecare Safety Professional (CTSP) program offered by the Tree Care Industry Association. The CTSP program allows key employees at a given company to become certified tree care safety experts, thereby empowering and encouraging a culture of safety within that organization.

Maintaining a Certified Treecare Safety Professional on staff means that organizations are committed to safe practices in arboricultural operations. CTSP's are kept abreast of the latest technological advances and safety practices. They must commit to ongoing education in the safety field in order to maintain their certification.

CTSP's must complete a study guide, attend a two-day training workshop, and pass a rigorous exam. Once certified, CTSP's must complete at least 30 hours of training others, or receiving education themselves, every three years.

Consumers can have greater peace of mind with the knowledge that hiring a tree care company with a CTSP on staff helps to ensure safe and professional arboricultural work on their property.

City of New Buffalo launches mobile pay parking app THE PASSPORT PARKING APP MAKES IT SIMPLE TO PAY FOR PARKING Just in time for summer, the City of New Buffalo, Mich. is launching a mobile pay parking solution with the Passport Parking app. Starting on May 24, 2019 visitors to city beaches can download the app and easily pay for parking without needing to wait in a long line or pay for a full day of parking when not needed.

With the Passport Parking app, users can easily create an account and start a parking session. An added benefit is the ability to extend a parking session remotely, which means visitors don’t need to return to their cars to add more money if they chose a shorter parking session and can keep enjoying their time on the beach. Users can also access receipts and parking history through the app.

“Summertime in New Buffalo is a great time of year, as residents and visitors get to enjoy the beautiful weather and all the other amenities the city has to offer. This year, spending time at the beach will be even better with our new streamlined parking solution,” said New Buffalo police chief Rich Killips.

“With the Passport Parking app, people can spend more time with their friends and family on the beach and less time worrying about paying for a full day of parking when it may not be needed. This will allow everyone to pay for a shorter period of time so they can come and simply enjoy the food and beach offerings without having to pay for a whole day of parking.”

“We are excited to partner with the City of New Buffalo and provide a great parking solution for visitors and for enforcement officers,” said Marcell Allmond, sales executive at Passport. “With our mobile pay parking app and enforcement software, the city is well-equipped to manage the influx of visitors this summer and beyond.”

Passport works with hundreds of clients around the world, including many in the region, such as Grand Rapids, Detroit, Ferndale and Michigan State University. Drivers can download the free Passport Parking app from the App Store or Google Play.

Climate change to be explored during Friends of Library forum

T

he science behind climate change will be explored by naturalist Wendy Jones at the next Community Forum talk sponsored by Friends of New Buffalo Library at 6 p.m. Tuesday, June 11, in the Pokagon Room at New Buffalo Township Library, 33 N. Thompson St., New Buffalo.

Jones will review the unusual weather of the past few years that has been driven by global warming, including more sporadic but heavier rain and snow events, more powerful hurricanes, severe winter storms and fires in the western states. What these changes mean to Michiana and its animals and environments will be discussed.

Jones is the head naturalist at Fernwood Botanical Garden and Nature Preserve. She previously presented “Backyard Birds,” “Michiana’s Native Americans” and Hummingbirds: Small and Feisty.”

Upcoming Community Forum programs include “Walking the Camino de Santiago,” Monday, June 24; “Ruffage,” Tuesday, June 25; “An Epic Twoand-a-Half-Year Road Trip to All 59 National Parks,” Tuesday, July 9, and “Building Bridges Across the Racial Divide,” Tuesday, July 23.

Journeyman’s Welter’s Folly to offer summer chipping, putting lessons

T

his summer, Journeyman Distillery will be offering free one-hour, Sunday morning chipping and putting lessons for children on its 18-hole, Welter’s Folly course.

Every Sunday at 11 a.m. from June 9 through Aug. 11, Sunday morning golf classes will be offered at no cost for children ages 7–15 at the course.

PGA Professional Mike Laughner will lead the classes for pint-sized putters.

The head professional at four different golf facilities over a 50-year career, Laughner welcomes the opportunity to give back.

“I have always been excited to pass along my love for the game of golf through my instruction of the golf swing and the life skills that the game has taught me,” he said in a recent press release.

Journeyman’s handcrafted organic spirits have been collecting accolades and earning a loyal following among Whiskey enthusiasts across the country. Locally, the distillery has built a reputation with a much different demographic—families.

“Family-friendly distillery” might sound like an oxymoron, but for proprietors Bill and Johanna Welter, it’s a natural fit.

“Journeyman is more than a business to us. It’s a labor of love” Bill said.

“We want to build something that will be here for future generations.”

The Scottish-inspired, 30,000-square foot putting green is just one example of Welter’s willingness to invest in the future. Conceived after a hike through the Sand Hills of Wisconsin with designer Craig Haltom, the course features distinctive (and challenging) mounding.

“Welter’s Folly reminds me of the Himalayas putting green at St Andrews, Scotland,” Laughner said. “Learning to putt the Folly well will make any golfer a better player!”

Pre-registration is required and class size is limited. No purchases are necessary. Welter’s Folly is open to the public daily. Visit journeymandistillery.com/golf for details.

Founded in 2010, Journeyman Distillery crafts, bottles, sells, and serves organic and kosher-certified spirits at the historic Featherbone Factory in Three Oaks. The distillery prides itself on using the highest quality grains sourced from Midwestern organic farmers in its award-winning spirits as well as at its Staymaker restaurant. Journeyman products are distributed in 11 states across the country and available for purchase direct from the distillery.

The Journeyman Distillery is located at 109 Generation Dr. in Three Oaks.

From the Bleachers COLUMN BY KURT MARGGRAF IN CHICAGO

M

emorial Day is the unofficial beginning of summer and, for the most part, the weather cooperated with us this year.

People were out and about and businesses were booming all over the city and Harbor Country. In Chicago, it was our new mayor’s initial attempt to curb the violence that so often plagues our city in the summer. While the results were mixed this year, let’s hope that by the time Mayor Lightfoot’s programs are in full effect, we can refer to Memorial Day as the day that Chicagoans began to see a steep decline in violence.

Personally, I caught a dreaded summer cold last week, and it really knocked me out for the weekend. Basically, I was out of commission until Sunday night, when we went out for dinner. I’m hoping that feeling so lousy will be just a memory in the very near future.

Memorial Day was originally known as “Decoration Day” and came into existence soon after the Civil War. I was surprised to discover that it didn’t become an official holiday until 1971. The reason it was originally called “Decoration Day” was that people would decorate the graves of soldiers with flags and flowers. Congress officially made Memorial Day the last Monday in May in 1968.

Of course, the holiday is enhanced by a spectacular sporting event, the Indianapolis 500 auto race.

This year’s 103rd annual race was witnessed by 300,000 people. While not being a fan of auto racing, I know plenty of people who are. My nephew, Jeff, loves the sport and participated in races in the Chicago area. Many years ago, my brother, Mike, “borrowed” an old junk car of mine and participated in a demolition derby. Many members of my family used to attend Raceway Park and watch Jeff and Mike compete but somehow, this particular sport never gained any traction with me.

Back to the true meaning of Memorial Day: I hope that everyone spent a little time thinking about all of those brave men and women who died defending our country. Some of us use this day to remember all of those who are no longer with us, no matter what the reason. Hopefully, you have fond memories of those who preceded us to the great beyond.

The Chicago teams ran into a couple of buzz saws this weekend. The Cubs had a lot of trouble again with the last place Cincinnati Reds. For some reason, it seems like the Reds play the Cubs better than they do the rest of the league. While it’s frustrating for the Cubs and their fans, they’re still hanging on to the lead in their division. On the other side of town, the White Sox were swept by the first place Minnesota Twins. This was frustrating because the Sox had played so well against the Houston Astros, one of the best teams in baseball. In my opinion, Sox pitcher Lucas Giolito is rapidly becoming one of the best pitchers in all of baseball.

Mark Twain said, “Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.” Be kind to one another. Keep smiling. Talk to you next week. Peace, love, and happiness.

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.

JOHN MARCHAND PAINTINGS DISCOVERED AT BUTCHER SHOP

rtists have long recognized chance as an artistic resource. “Chance for artists is achi eving success in randomness, a seemingly unintentional expression of a thoughtout result. The discovery of two wonderful John Marchand paintings in Drier’s is a different chance,” affirmed Judy Ferrara, owner of Judy Ferrara Gallery (JFG) in Three Oaks, Michigan.

John N. Marchand was a painter and prolific book and magazine illustrator whose work reflected a western influence and a first-hand understanding of Indian Territory. His studio mate was Charles Russell whose western paintings fetch a cool million and up at auction.

Like artistic maestros and apparent competitors Da Vinci and Michelangelo; Matisse and Picasso— Russell and Marchand met regularly, forging a partnership of extraordinary influence. Ferrara explores how each artist’s genius lit the other’s oeuvre: “Marchand met Charles Russell, a worldrenowned western artist on a sketching trip to Montana and invited him to stay at his studio. In 1904, Russell travelled to New York and shared Marchand’s studio. Ferrara continued, adding “There, Marchand introduced Russell (11 years his senior) to the social scene and the leading art editors of the time. The mutual collaboration launched Russell’s career in magazine and book illustration and Marchand’s career into fine art.”

Originally thought to be prints, the two western paintings hung in plain sight for over 70 years at Drier’s Butcher Shop—the iconic 100 plus yearold smokehouse next to Ferrara’s gallery. In an extraordinary bit of serendipity, “a western art dealer saw them and recognized the artist’s name; they were given to Ed Drier, Carolyn’s father years ago,” explained Ferrara. She continued, adding: The two Marchand paintings hanging in Drier’s were painted in 1906, not long after Russell shared his space. Russell undoubtedly had an influence on these works.”

The Marchand masterworks invoke qualities like excitement and tranquility. His aesthetic position is reminiscent of nature, an enduring and

effective artistic element. Ferrara shares a sudden revelation on his signature style: “Being in the presence of these historic paintings of the old west is an indescribable feeling. Marchand and artists of that time experienced the western frontier first hand and have captured those days through their paintings.” With regard to the genre’s increased popularity among collectors, she continued, adding: “Every boy wanted to be a cowboy growing up. Nostalgia for open land of the old west; the last frontier.”

Entrepreneur and inventor of the “Featherbone,” a stay material used in women’s corsets, E.K. Warren owned the paintings originally. He established the Warren Featherbone Company in 1883, a worldwide success in its day. “The paintings were valued by E. K Warren at one time but maybe not [by] his grandson, Charles Warren.

Ed Drier was intrigued by the two paintings leaning against the wall in Charles’ storage barn.

He asked Charles about them and Charles said— ‘take them, they are yours’,” said Ferrara. She continued, adding “Ed Drier hung them in Drier’s and that is where they have been for 70 plus years.

The chance encounter Ed had that day in his friends’ barn may have saved the fate of these two paintings.”

“The paintings were in remarkable condition given the fact they are 113 years old and have been in a barn and then a meat market for 100 some years. They were professionally cleaned

by Settler’s Gallery in Scottsdale and framed in handmade magnificent frames,” said Ferrara. She continued, adding: “John Marchand’s paintings have auctioned at prices up to $90,000. He died at the early age of 46 and therefore was not as prolific and widely known as Charles Russell.

His works are now getting more attention.” The masterpieces were recently sold to a collector.

On her start in the arts, Ferrara sheds light: “In 2001, I started Art For the Mind, a fundraiser for Stanley Clark School, where we turned the school into an art gallery for two days. One of the artists participating in the show had a studio in my current building in Three Oaks. I helped him turn

the studio into a gallery and when he moved East, I took control and Blue Gallery was born.” She continued, adding: “In 2014, I bought the building and changed the gallery name to Judy Ferrara Gallery. In the last 15 years I have seen Three Oaks transform into an eclectic cultural destination.

The present gallery houses a nationally recognized collection, which includes contemporary works by established and emerging artists. “JFG represents an eclectic group of artists working in varied mediums and techniques.

One notable artist JFG has carried since 2010 is Kikuo Saito (1930 – 2016). Saito was an abstract expressionist artist and the set designer for The New York City Ballet and Jerome Robbins plays,” expounded Ferrara. She continued, adding: “His work is in MOMA, The Whitney, and The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. We have seen his work go up threefold since 2016.”

O

n a challenge where a creative solution is called for, Ferrara gives us an explanation: “Through my travels and research, I find the artists. Currently, the stable of artists in the gallery is from New York, Los Angeles, Sante Fe, Scottsdale, New Orleans, Detroit, Indianapolis, Chicago, Italy and the surrounding area of Three Oaks.” She continued, adding: “Abstract artist Sherry Giryotas and sculptor husband, Phillip Shore are two famed local artists JFG represents with galleries across the country.”

In addition to creating distinct aesthetic milieus, Ferrara gives a justification for the art collection process apart from prestige of ownership: “JFG has many clients seeking investment art and we search for pieces to add to their collection. Instead of looking at their mutual fund statements, our clients experience their investment on the walls and pedestals in their homes. Collectors in search of standouts yet to come to market ought to drop by 16 South Elm Street in beautiful downtown Three Oaks, Michigan, call 269-756-9338, or email judy@judyferraragallery.com.

BOATERS RELOCATING FROM FLOODED DOCKS

B

oaters are relocating from about 200 private slips as much as knee high under water in New Buffalo.

The D and E docks at The Moorings also had their electricity turned off to eliminate the risk for electrocution with power lines submerged and electrical boxes partially under water.

Ray Bock of New Buffalo took his boat just a few hundred yards to the east at Pleasure Isle where much higher slips are still dry and served by electricity.

“We got out of here as soon as the water started coming up and everybody else is starting to flee as well,’’ Bock said.

A still rising Lake Michigan approaching record levels and heavy spring rains are the culprits.

The situation worsens when north winds blow water from the lake into the harbor.

Within minutes, docks can go from being dry to ankle and even knee deep under water.

Bob Stratton, owner of Service 1 Marine, said electricity is a must to keep batteries charged and power bilge pumps, air conditioners, refrigerators and other appliances on luxury watercraft.

While some private dock owners are finding other slips in New Buffalo, other displaced boaters are going to harbors in Michigan City and St. Joseph.

Stratton said there’s no telling when power can be restored.

“It could be the end of summer. It could be not at all. Nobody seems to know for sure,’’ he said.

Lake Michigan at a record low in 2013 is expected to rise another eight inches this summer.

Lake Superior and Lake Erie are predicted to set high water level records set in the 1980’s.

Stratton also said the extremely wet and cool spring are also factors in a good percentage of boats remaining in winter storage.

“It’s been a very strange year this year. Hopefully, we’ll have some nice weather and you can get out there and enjoy yourselves,’’ Stratton said. — STAN MADDUX

ince it was Memorial Day weekend, a trip to the St. Mary of the Lake Parish Carnival was in order for Harbor Country residents and visitors last weekend.

Hosted by St. Mary of the Lake Catholic Church in New Buffalo and sponsored by the St. Mary of the Lake Knights of Columbus Council 14366, the carnival began at 5 p.m. Thursday, May 23, and lasted through the early evening hours of Monday, May 27.

For more than 25 years, the carnival has served as a prime gathering place for residents and summer visitors and the official kick-off to summer in the area. This year was no different, as people converged on the parking lot and fields across from the church and indulged in a world brimming with pink cotton candy, lively music and other time-honored carnival treats.

Adults and children rode on the ferris wheel, the Zipper, and other Skerbeck Bros. Shows, Inc, carnival rides as well as tried their luck at a variety of midway games.

The traditional carnival fare, such as elephant ears with a sprinkling of brown sugar and buttery popcorn, was also available. Guests could take home some homemade goods for their holiday weekend gatherings at the bake sale that took place Sunday.

All weekend long, music could be heard spilling out of the large beer tent located at the edge of the carnival. Providing the weekend’s live entertainment were DJ Dancing Grooves, Red Deluxe, Generation Z and Time Travelers.

New Buffalo’s Memorial Day observation urges a time for reflection

O

BY FRANCESCA SAGALA

n a mild morning with a slight breeze that sent puffy white clouds skittering across the blue sky up above, a small crowd gathered down below to pay their respects to those who had lost their lives for their country’s freedoms.

The members of the crowd - Girl and Boy Scouts, members of the American Legion Post 169, New Buffalo High School Band members, Miss New Buffalo and her royal court, and New Buffalo City and Township officials Members of American Legion Post 169 A crowd awaits the parade near were gathering for the annual Memorial Day parade, which was Monday, May march into Pine Grove Cemetery the entrance to Pine Grove Cemetery 27, at New Buffalo City Hall. There, they watched as a wreath was placed on the war memorial in front of City Hall. Afterward, they lined up across from City Hall, ready to make a sharp turn onto U.S. 12.

The crowd marched toward Pine Grove Cemetery. Silently, they marched down the street, which was flanked by groups of people who’d risen that morning to view the parade - waving flags, applauding for American Legion members.

Everyone gathered at the cemetery. Standing amid the graves and tombstones, which were surrounded by miniature American flags, members of the large crowd listened to that morning’s chosen speakers reflect on what the New Buffalo City Council members day meant to them.

Mark Kroll and Bobby Spirito wave Miss New Buffalo 2019 Olivia Haskins said that the holiday was “close to her Miss New Buffalo Olivia Haskins tells to the audience from a car driven by heart,” as her great-grandfather had fought overseas. Her brother, she said, everyone what Memorial Day means to her councilmember Mark Robertson had just graduated from the Air Force.

Haskins said she believed that those “who made a significant sacrifice” should be honored every day, not just on Memorial Day. Americans have been putting their lives on the line throughout history, such as during the historic Revolutionary War and Civil War and up to today.

“Members of the military remain bound to their American duty,” she said.

Mr. Blossomtime and Mr. New Buffalo Jacob Smith said Memorial Day gives Americans more than just a three-day weekend; it also offers them the opportunity to remember those who “sacrificed their lives for our country and paid the ultimate price.”

“Memorial Day is a time for Americans to stand up as one body and say, ‘Thank you,’” he said.

“Our nation owes a debt to our fallen heroes that we may never fully repay -after all, America is home of the free because of the brave,” Smith added.

Members of the American Legion Post 169 perform the official gun salute at Pine Grove Cemetery To this day, United States Navy veteran Chuck Baran (who led the ceremony) said that he still felt bound to the veterans who served with him while out on a boat so many years ago.

“Knowing that there’s a 50/50 chance of getting out alive...I would put my life on the line for any of those guys,” he said.

Dr. Lee Strohl, who served in the Vietnam War both as a brigade surgeon in Vietnam for the 5th Infantry Division and in the United States as brigade surgeon for the 101st airborne practice, said that, since serving his country, he’s been given Tombstones surrounded by American flags access to a lifelong “brotherhood Members of the New Buffalo High School Band march into Pine Grove Cemetery at Pine Grove Cemetery and sisterhood” comprised of other veterans.

“I could walk into a VFW hall in Wyoming, which i’ve never stepped foot in in my life, and be welcomed with open arms and their first question would be, ‘What kind of beer would you like?’” he said.

Strohl said that many kinds of veterans exist in the world today from teachers, to politicians, to sport veterans - but military veterans stand out from the rest.

“The veterans who serve in the military are serving not for themselves but for their country...people are honored by what they’re doing in the Brownie Girl Scouts Abby Rodinway, military and not by what their rank Gabriella Bergquist and Emily Beck American Legion Post 169 members lead Dr. Lee Strohl speaks to the crowd is,” he said. hold a flag at Pine Grove Cemetery the parade down US 12 in New Buffalo while Chuck Baran looks on

Jeff Adamec

OBITUARIES

1981-2019

effrey Arthur Adamec, 38, of Gladwin, Michigan passed away Thursday, May 16, 2019 surrounded by his loved ones at Mid Michigan Medical Center, Midland, MI. He was born on January 7, 1981, the beloved son of Arthur and Cynthia (Brinkman) Adamec in Midland.

Jeff was a graduate of Gladwin High School in 1999 and Aquinas College in 2003 where he excelled in his studies and sports. After graduating from college with a dual degree in business and communications, Jeff worked for several companies as a self-employed medical equipment sales representative. He especially enjoyed the years he spent working with Dr. Sri Chakravarthi and Dr. Siva Sriharan in Bay City, Michigan.

Jeff had an easy smile and a huge heart. He was a very generous and loyal friend to so many. His favorite times were spent on the basketball court, the baseball field, the golf course, and the nearest beach splashing in the waves.

Some of Jeff’s favorite times were spent in New Buffalo on Lake Michigan. He was a lifelong Chicago Cubs (and Bears) fan. He loved going to Wrigley Field with his family and friends, and was thrilled beyond measure to see them win the World Series in 2016.

Left to cherish his memory, are his parents, Art and Cyndi, his brother, Justin (Mary) Adamec, of Grand Rapids, MI, grandmother, Irene Brinkman, Aunt Jan and cousin Brian Adamec, all of New Buffalo, MI, and many close friends. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Art and Anne Adamec and Richard Brinkman, and his Uncle Dick Adamec.

A celebration of Jeff’s life will be held Saturday, June 22, 2019 at 11 AM at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Gladwin, MI. Visitation will be Friday, June 21st from 5-8 PM at the Hall-Kokotovich Funeral Home, and again on Saturday at the K of C Hall beginning at 10 AM. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Gladwin County Animal Shelter or to the First United Methodist Church Summer Lunch Program.

Dr. Magdi Gabriel, MD

D

1932-2019

r. Magdi Gabriel was reunited in heaven with his wife, parents, and brother on Thursday, May 23, 2019.

Dr. Gabriel was born on June 28, 1932 to Gabriel Gabriel and Mary Jacob Salib in Tanta, Egypt. He was the oldest of four brothers, including Moheb, Mamdouh, and Moktar. Dr. Gabriel graduated from Cairo University in 1955. He went on to medical school, residency, and was a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in The United Kingdom in 1960. While studying in the UK, he married Sophie Athineos, the love of his life, on January 20, 1962. While in England they had their first two children, Jasmine and John.

In 1966, they moved to New York after Dr. Gabriel was recruited by Albert Einstein Medical School to begin teaching what was at that time a revolutionary new procedure: the total hip replacement. While in New York they had their third child, Alexia. In 1970, he moved his family to Mishawaka,

Indiana where their youngest, Christina, was born. He completed the first ever performed modern total hip replacement in the state of Indiana. Dr. Gabriel and Sophie worked side by side managing their private practice in Mishawaka for several decades. He performed regular surgeries at St. Joseph Hospital in Mishawaka and Memorial Hospital in South Bend. He eventually retired in 2002.

Dr. Gabriel was incredibly passionate about his life’s work and the real impact he could bring to his patients’ quality of life. His compassionate care and surgical skill delivered years of joyful activity to his patients and their families. Indeed, it was the love of his own family and his joy in their presence that provided the inspiration for his approach to patient care.

He loved his family with unparalleled passion and commitment. He also spent ample time adventuring throughout the world, discovering places far and wide, with his wife, children, and grandchildren. He saw his many family trips as a way to stay connected and close, especially as his children grew into adults and started families of their own. In fact, whether it was family trips, annual fourth of July cookouts, or relaxing weekends at the lake, his gift to his entire extended family was his amazing ability to create a warm welcoming space for family memories to be made. Some of his most memorable trips included taking his family members to Egypt, Greece, London to visit the Royal College of Surgeons, and his annual family Christmas trip with his children and twelve grandchildren. His grandchildren have always occupied a massive space in his heart and like the rest of his family, he would do everything and anything for all of them. He loved being his grandchildren’s Pappou.

Dr. Gabriel enjoyed summers and boating with his family on the lake in Niles, Michigan. You could frequently find him swimming across the lake for his daily exercise. He absolutely loved the water and exercising regularly.

He cheered on Notre Dame football passionately from the time he moved to Mishawaka.

Dr. Gabriel was proud to give back to the church and community throughout his life. He was a devout and proud Coptic Orthodox Christian and attended church in South Bend, IN at St. Andrews Greek Orthodox Church. Dr. Gabriel was well known for his immense compassion and kind heart. He oftentimes mentored and was a listening ear for many fellow doctors, nurses, family, and friends. Everyone wanted to be a better person after speaking with Dr. Gabriel.

Dr. Gabriel is survived by his four children: Jasmine (Michael) Schlitt, John (Imelda) Gabriel, Alexia (Peter) Kotsiopoulos, & Christina (Joseph) Strickler; and his twelve grandchildren: Gabriella (Zach) Tucker, Michael, Nicholas, Athena and Sophia Schlitt; Tia, Melina, and Gianna Kotsiopoulos; Anthony, Cecilia, Nicholas, and Jonathan Strickler.

He is also survived by his brothers, Mamdouh (Hoda) Gabriel and Moktar (Carmen) Gabriel; and sisters-in-law, Hoda Gabriel, Helen (Jack) Schinazi, and Mitzi Burnett, as well as many cousins, nieces, nephews, and their children and grandchildren, who called him Uncle, Dad, or Pappou. Dr. Gabriel felt so blessed and grateful for his longtime caregiver and dear friend, Olga Szucs.

He was preceded in death by his wife, parents and brother, Moheb Gabriel.

Visitation was held at Bubb Funeral Chapel, 3910 North Main Street, on Wednesday, May 29, 2019 from 4:30pm until 6:00pm. Burial followed at Fairview Cemetery, Mishawaka, IN. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to The Foundation of Saint Joseph Health System, 707 E. Cedar Street, Ste. 100, South Bend, IN 46617 or Breast Cancer Research Foundation, 28 W. 44th St., New York, NY 10036.

From the Southeast Shore

T

OP ED

BY BAGLICA BOTTIGLIERO

here is something unique about living in a small town that happens to be a highly active resort/second homeowner town. Up and down The Southeast Shore, towns experience their own unique challenges and needs, but we are noticing one thing that is consistent: the need for better communication between a city/township government and its residents.

Progress is a natural thing. An influx of residents or businesses cause a natural spike in questions from residents. In a community that may heavily rely on a vacation goers and second home owners, it’s even more vital for the municipality to have a close connection with the residents - all year round.

Specifically for small towns, information spreads fast - which is a good thing.

It can be efficient. But incorrect or incomplete information can also spread fast, prompting confusion, anger and negativity around an idea or project that the city/town may need. In addition, a business opening for the first time may experience the brunt of the negativity simply because the city leaders did not communicate the business goals effectively.

I’ve been working in the digital communication space for 20 years. Online negatively can be bad. And take time to respond to. I know, I get it. My response? That’s too bad.

In a world where people consume a copious amount of content online, magazines, billboards, streaming TV, etc, entities (including city/town governments) need to equip their staff and partners to message citizens appropriately. From a working meeting to discuss a topic to a ‘heads-up’ note about a new business coming in town to a public forum to discuss the future a town, public input is crucial for many reasons.

The most important reason, town evangelism. Stick with me.

If you have a community of residents who feel informed and connected to their city government, then you have a population of people who are proud of where they live. This pride then extends to the visitors who may come for an extended weekend or month.

You will get less disgruntled residents smirking at weekend visitors who are looking to populate their Instagram feeds.

You will get lifelong town locals involved in the decision process of what happens to their town.

You will get visitors who can arrive and enjoy their weekends without wondering why so many people look at them with dismay and anger.

You will have the ability to do solid and efficient future planning for other industries you can bring to town.

You will have a better working relation with towns next to you, thus creating a network of efficiency and perhaps resource sharing (go figure).

You will have a tighter relationship between residents, businesses and government - in the good times and the bad.

It’s all a win-win, friends.

HOROSCOPE

21

SUDOKU To solve the Sudoku puzzle, your challenge is to fill each empty cell with a number 1 through 9, so that each row across, each column down, and each 3x3 box contains all the numbers 1 through 9 with no repeats. Good luck solving!

MAY 30-JUNE 5, 2019

AS INTERPRETED BY SANDY “STAR” BENDT ARIES MARCH 21—APRIL 19 Get ready for a heat wave in your home sector. Things will be heating up between you and roommates. Heads may butt and fireworks may erupt but, some much needed clearing can happen.

Don’t let situations get out of hand, instead keep things to the point. Don’t attack people on a personal level.

LIBRA SEPTEMBER 23—OCTOBER 22 This week opportunities to pursue a goal or idea you had written off will come into focus again. Look for chances to connect with people who are already big hitters and go from there.

Avoid self-restrictive thoughts or mental traps that keep you from engaging in conversations surrounding financial obligations.

TAURUS APRIL 20—MAY 20 This will be very lively and arduous week. If confronted with any unexpected mental triggers, deal with them directly. Be completely upfront and honest about your feelings.

Don’t shy away from putting it all out there.

By dropping pretenses, you let others know exactly where you stand. No questions.

SCORPIO OCTOBER 23—NOVEMBER 21 Be ready to jump on job changes and pursue career changes. This is an excellent week to secure a valuable position within a company that will keep you well compensated over the long haul; possibly with the perfect hours and teammates, where you will be able to create a name for yourself.

GEMINI MAY 21—JUNE 21 Get ready for some beautiful, vibrant energy coming your way. Utilize this to the fullest by going out and socializing because wherever you go you will be the life of the party. On another note, financial obligations could feel heavy but you are on track to financial security and longterm stability. Don’t sweat it.

SAGITTARIUS NOVEMBER 22—DECEMBER 21 Getting together with friends and reconnecting is very enriching this week. If you can’t get away from family obligations, perhaps you can find a way to merge the two activities. Invite friends over to meet the family, or take your significant other with you to meet the ga ng.

The more the merrier.

CANCER JUNE 22—JULY 22 A gentle push from an unexpected source will move your career in a new direction and bring with it some unanticipated gain or recognition. This will relieve a lot of pressure and ease stress levels. On the home front, you will see a nice mix up too, maybe not as unexpected but it will definitely please you.

CAPRICORN DECEMBER 22—JANUARY 19 Good vibes surround you this week, giving you the courage to confront household issues. Whether it’s a family member who is overstepping the boundary or a pesky technical problem, you will face it head on. You may be a bit protective of your space but, when it comes to Chateau Capricorn, there are no exceptions.

LEO JULY 23—AUGUST 22 Be ready to mingle with some very captivating strangers this week, just be careful you keep a clear head so you can spot the smoke screen.

There is a possibility that what others are presenting may not be completely based on facts. Trust in your abilities to know what is real and what is being over inflated.

AQUARIUS JANUARY 20—FEBRUARY 18 Unrestrained conversations are a must for Aquarius. You need to be able to say what needs to be said without fear of ridicule, and that is very true this week. On the flip side, you may hear a thing or two that really opens your eyes to something you may have either been avoiding or ignoring. Adventure awaits you.

VIRGO AUGUST 23—SEPTEMBER 22 Some very intriguing romantic possibilities are on the horizon this week. What will make them so captivating is that you will feel instantly connected and you will have a mutual understanding that surprises you. If already attached, you will experience a stronger mental connection and a deeper communication style.

PISCES FEBRUARY 19—MARCH 20 This is a great time to ask for a raise, pursue financial changes, and score big on investments. You will become more of a leader and will be given greater responsibilities with in your career. You are in the building stages of career opportunities, which may require some long hours but, will have a huge pay off.
