More Density?
Many discussions/debates have been held re: 10-story buildings and increasing the density in Traverse City. I wonder how many people have considered the possibility of Cherry Festival-size crowds and density 365 days a year in Traverse City? Is this the Traverse City we want and or need? Let’s concentrate on responsible growth that will benefit all the citizens of Traverse City! Carole Daniels, Traverse City
If [Grand Traverse County Commissioner] Christine Maxbauer had killed or injured a child, would [County Administrator] Tom Menzel continue to make the statement that “this is personal?” Anyone drunk and driving a car at 3pm has made a poor judgement call. Neither of them, Menzel nor Maxbauer, has the “right stuff ” for the privilege of serving and making important decisions to govern the people of this community.

Not everyone out there is a PhD and will be able to afford your idea of a $15 an hour minimum wage. However, maybe Traverse City should enact a “Rose Colored Glasses” tax for customers with a PhD who could afford to pay more for their goods and services, unlike someone like me living on a pension with little or no inflation pay increases.

No Raise
Should they raise the price of their product and lose patrons who can’t afford their product anymore? Do they fire employees and make fewer employees do more work to make up the difference? How is this $15 an hour minimum wage high going to affect employees presently making $15 an hour? They will certainly want raises. Or, maybe the business should offer a cheap substitute of they were offering before?

From reading your recent letter on raising minimum wages to $15 an hour by 2018 you should’ve studied your Economics 101 course a little harder. A business just cannot raise their employees’ wages to $15 an hour and not come up with a way to offset that high of a wage increase.

WHO ARE THE GOOD GUYS? opinion
By Carlin Smith My colleague Doug Luciani [of the Traverse City Area Chamber] pointed out to me several years ago how often businesses are made out to be the bad guys. The antagonist in a movie is often a business or evil executive, politicians often talk about how their opponent is affiliated with “big business,” and businesses are often described as “greedy” and willing to destroy the environment or a community for their personal gain. I admit some of that reputation is earned; there have been businesses who have done bad things to their employees, to the environment, or to their customers. There are CEOs who have taken big bonus checks on the heels of massive layoffs within their companies. And when businesses do bad things, they make the headlines and face the public scrutiny they deserve.
Another reason businesses need to take the lead to improve the human condition of our communities is because government is not able to do it anymore. Government at every level is so strapped for financial resources that it can no longer cause profound impact. There are so many special interests seeking public funds that those funds are spread too broadly to make a difference. Just ask any agency that relies on public funding; they all say there
Here’s an even crazier idea: What if businesses become the leaders in finding ways to improve the human condition of our communities, our state, and our nation? But you know what? I personally don’t know any of these businesses who are doing bad things. As a chamber of commerce professional, I am immersed in the business community, and what I see are very good people doing very good things. I have the deepest admiration for an entrepreneur, that person who has taken a big risk, often putting their life savings on the line, in order to provide a service or product they are convinced is of great need to society. They see their future wealth, or at least their livelihood, coming from their wonderful idea. When successful, these entrepreneurs create businesses that are significant taxpayers, job providers and contributors to their communities. These are the people I see and know. They are folks who are trying to keep their companies profitable while doing the best they can to take care of those who support them. They truly care about the welfare and the lives of their employees. They also care about the happiness and satisfaction of their customers. They recognize that their community is a reason for their success and they try to give back to that community. And the real good ones do all that they can to care for the environment, and to even care for the suppliers and partners who help their business. So here’s a crazy idea. What if we started to recognize businesses as the good guys they are? Here’s an even crazier idea: What if businesses become the leaders in finding ways to improve the human condition of our communities, our state, and our nation?
4 • july 18, 2016 • Northern Express Weekly
Why business? Because businesses are the largest convener of human effort. Businesses have the most financial resources and the strongest network of human resources and are therefore best positioned to make the most positive change in the world. The power of business to make positive change in the world is huge, and it is already happening.
isn’t enough to go around. At higher levels of government, the political climate is so polarized that it creates yet another barrier to government effectiveness. Right now I see the nonprofit sector as the leader of change to improve our human condition. Nonprofit organizations are effective fundraisers, they are missionfocused, and they have passionate followers who bring positive changes to our communities. So is it wrong for a business to work alongside a nonprofit agency to wipe out hunger in a community? Or to improve the water quality in a local lake? Or to help give young people access to recreation programs? No. Not only can businesses help, they should help, and many already do. These ideas aren’t mine. They are a culmination of the things I’ve been learning in a year-long study on the “Conscious Capitalism” movement called Thriving Michigan. The Petoskey Regional Chamber of Commerce is one of seven chambers in the state (including Traverse City and Alpena in northern Michigan) to see how chambers can lead businesses to lead positive change in our state. Nathan Havey of Thrive Consulting in Traverse City has been facilitating the program and teaching us how those businesses that have a higher purpose can also have higher profits. It’s been a fascinating journey and movement worth watching. Maybe when all is said and done, a business owner will be the hero of a movie and will ride off into the sunset as one of the good guys. Carlin Smith is the President of the Petoskey Regional Chamber of Commerce.

escape from gravity
1 Straits Line 5 Study Lauded and Lambasted
State officials touted a plan to conduct an independent risk analysis on the Line 5 oil pipeline at the Straits of Mackinac and to have its owner – Enbridge – pay the $3.5 million price tag. Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette said the move is another step toward protecting the environment by safeguarding a pipeline that many believe threatens the Upper Great Lakes. “We are now taking the next step forward to formally define the environmental and financial risks we face,” Schuette said. But environmental groups were quick to point out that the agreement gives Enbridge five days to review the reports before they are released to the public – time the company could use to lobby for the elimination of conclusions it doesn’t like. “Enbridge has huge profits on the line and it’s understandable that their priority is protecting the interests of their shareholders and executives,” said Liz Kirkwood, executive director of For the Love of Water in Traverse City. “But protecting Enbridge’s profits shouldn’t compromise protecting the Great Lakes.”
bottomsup JL Beanery’s Espresso Con Panna From their Mackinac Island location directly overlooking the waters of the Straits of Mackinac, JL Beanery has been an island staple for over a decade, affectionately known as “the Beanery” by locals. The baked goods alone are a reason to visit; locals swear by the Beanery’s date scones and their peanut butter cookies, each of which are stuffed with chunks of peanut butter cups. But where the Beanery really excels is with their coffee, all made with 100 percent fair-trade beans and some concocted into inventive espresso treats. One of the best drinks on the menu is the Espresso Con Panna, a daily essential in Austria and Hungary. A double shot of the Beanery’s espresso is brewed strong and sharp and served up in a short glass that’s topped only with whipped cream (no sugar, milk or flavorings). It’s got an unusual, bittersweet flavor that true coffee aficionados will adore. JL Beanery is located directly behind the Bay View at Mackinac, 6939 Main St., Mackinac Island, 906-847-6533. Find them on Facebook or visit jlbeanery.com. - Kristi Kates
Ninety years after pioneering aviator Charles A. Lindbergh landed his biplane on the waters of Little Traverse Bay, the Harbor Springs Area Historical Society welcomes his grandson Erik Lindbergh, who presents “Escape from Gravity” at the Harbor Springs High School Performing Arts Center on Thurs., July 21 at 5:30pm. A pilot, artist, educator and entrepreneur himself, Erik will retrace his grandfather’s 1927 New York to Paris transatlantic flight (the first nonstop solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean). Free.

Starbucks Coming, Bardon’s Staying
A new development that includes a pharmacy and a coffee shop is coming to a busy corner in Traverse City, but a 66-year-old ice cream shop is going to remain. Bardon’s Wonder Freeze, which has been on the corner of Eighth and Garfield since 1950, will not be razed to make way for the new development, which is slated to include a Rite Aid and a Starbucks at the site of an Arby’s that was shuttered in 2012 and has been an eyesore ever since. Demolition is underway and construction is expected to be completed by the end of the year. Talk of closing the beloved ice cream shop in 2012 sparked a movement that included a Facebook page and “Save Bardon’s Wonder Freeze” t-shirts.

It doesn’t help when a presidential candidate gleefully rants about torturing people, killing family members of terrorists, or carpet-bombing entire countries. Or re-posts Tweets from
white supremacy groups. Or tells us he’d like to punch a protester or will pay the legal defenses of anyone who does punch a protester. It doesn’t help that there are social media sites that incite violence and encourage murder, whether from a white power, black power or jihad power source. Nor does it help that that same social media is filled with angry, insulting and threatening comments. It doesn’t help that, after the massacre in Orlando, ministers in at least five states, purporting to be Christian men of God, decried the killings not because they occurred but because not enough gay people were killed. It doesn’t help when a New York City union official insists any act of police violence, including lethal acts, is always justifiable.
It doesn’t help to threaten police officers or their families. Ever.

The lack of outraged voices is deafening. A criminal justice system that doesn’t work for some of us doesn’t work for any of us. Yet too many of us can’t even have a conversation about this without hurling insults, or much worse, at each other. Some locations have started that dialog and moved beyond just talking. That’s why the barbarism in Dallas was especially ironic. Despite a history of violent crime well above national averages and a blizzard of violent police-minority confrontations in the past, the city of Dallas actually has taken real steps to improve police relations with minority communities.
The bigger problem here is not police shootings, which are actually amazingly rare given the millions of interactions between police and civilians every year; it’s a criminal justice system statistically skewed away from fairness.
It doesn’t help that yet another hateful, unhinged individual easily accessed all the weaponry he wanted, including online purchases.

fenses, and are more likely to receive longer sentences than whites for similar offenses.
It doesn’t help to play with the statistics to prove a point. The raw numbers are more instructive. According to The Washington Post, 990 people were shot and killed by police officers in 2015. Of those, 494 were white, 258 black, and 172 Latino. (The remainder were classified as “other.”) The bigger problem here is not police shootings, which are actually amazingly rare given the millions of interactions between police and civilians every year; it’s a criminal justice system statistically skewed away from fairness. According to the Department of Justice, minorities are arrested more often than whites for similar offenses, are more likely than whites to be denied bail for similar offenses, are less likely than whites to receive favorable plea bargains for similar offenses, are more likely that whites to be charged with a crime carrying mandatory sentencing for similar of-
It has an African-American chief of police, David Brown, with a unique perspective on police shootings of all kinds: His own son murdered a police officer and a civilian, and was subsequently shot to death by other responding officers. The chief is, tragically, empathetic to every side of the issue, having lived them all. Chief Brown has instituted community policing policies that have reduced by half the number of violent interactions between police and minorities (though crime in Dallas has slightly increased this year). Letting officers get to know the people and neighborhoods they serve, and letting the people they serve get to know them, makes monumental common sense. That Dallas had figured it out was obvious by the tone of the protest march prior to the start of the murderous attacks — people protesting peacefully as police officers protected their route, often taking photos, including selfies, with the marchers and their signs. This is helpful: police officers respectfully protecting marchers, and marchers respectfully and non-violently conducting their protest. It was an example, or was until the mayhem broke out, of the best of both sides. It is entirely possible to strongly question, and protest, the actions of individual officers while still maintaining respect for the other 99 percent. The protester’s point can be well made without a riot breaking out, which, in fact, erases the initial message altogether. And it’s possible for police officers, the overwhelming majority of whom will never draw their weapons in their entire careers, to respect and protect the rights of those protesting, even when the protest is directed at them. Exactly as was happening in Dallas. Unfortunately, the current debate is so out of control we can’t even agree on the most obvious fact: lives matter. All of them.
Crime & Rescue JEEP ROLLS ON BEAVER ISLAND A Florida teen lost control of his 1975 Jeep on Beaver Island, ran off the road, rolled and was thrown. Tre Daniel Wilson was not wearing a seatbelt when his vehicle rolled five times and he was ejected in the crash, Charlevoix County Sheriff’s deputies said. The 18-year-old was taken to Munson Medical Center to be treated for several cuts. Investigators determined alcohol and speed were not factors in the crash. Deputies were called to Sloptown Road near King’s Highway at 1:41pm July 7. MAN DIDN’T WANT TO PULL OVER A motorcyclist reached speeds of 155mph in a run from the police. A state police trooper who was parked with a radar gun attempted a traffic stop after he clocked the bike at 85mph on I-75 near McCoy Road in Otsego County at 9pm July 9. The driver accelerated and headed south into Crawford County, where the suspect exited the interstate in Grayling and headed along Old 27 toward Frederic. On Johns Drive, an off-duty police chief heard the chase on the radio as the motorcycle sped by his house. That enabled Crawford County Sheriff’s deputies to zero in on the suspect as he attempted to hide his motorcycle. The man was arrested thanks to local officers’ knowledge of the area, state police said. The 34-year-old Lansing man had a handgun, which he had a permit to carry. He was charged in Otsego County with fleeing and eluding, felony firearm and having no motorcycle endorsement. SEMI CRASH DUMPS DIRT A semi hauling dirt toppled in Leelanau County. The 77-year-old Elmer’s Crane and Dozer driver may have suffered a medical condition before he crashed on County Road 669 in Kasson Township at 2:44pm, deputies said. The Benzonia man was trapped in the semi until Cedar Fire rescuers freed him and he was taken to Munson Medical Center. Dirt from the tandem trailer spilled onto the road, which was closed for 3 1/2 hours. CAR LARCENISTS WANTED Someone’s been rooting through unlocked cars around Burt Lake. Deputies from Emmet and Cheboygan counties are investigating a string of recent thefts, Sheriff Dale Clarmont said. Anyone with information should contact police. POLICE DOG TRACKS SUSPECT An accused domestic abuser could not outrun the Leelanau County Sheriff’s police dog. The department’s K-9 team and its dog Nico tracked a 49-year-old man accused of beating up a 40-year-old woman who he had been dating. Deputies were called at 3:10am July 10 to a home in Empire Township where the woman said she’d been thrown around the house and prevented from calling 911. The woman locked herself into a room and called police when the man left. The woman called police again at 11am the next morning when the man returned. This time the tracking dog followed the man’s scent into the

woods where he was hiding. The dog flushed the suspect out and into the arms of a deputy and a National Park Service ranger. CRASH SEVERELY INJURES MAN A helmet-less driver was thrown from his motorcycle when he rear-ended a car stopped to make a right turn on M-72 in Whitewater Township. The 29-year-old Grayling man suffered severe injuries and was taken to Munson Medical Center, said Grand Traverse County Sheriff’s Lt. Brian Giddis. The crash happened July 9 at 5:35pm when the Harley Davidson crashed into the back of a Jeep Grand Cherokee stopped to make a left turn onto Baggs Road. A woman and passenger in the vehicle were not injured. CAR ROLLS ON US-131 Police arrested the driver and helped two passengers get to the hospital after a drunk driver rolled his car in the median of US-131 near Cadillac. Wexford County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the crash near mile marker 189 at 4:50am July 11. When they arrived, they found the car rolled over in the median and determined the driver was intoxicated. RESTAURANT ARSONIST SOUGHT Investigators in Crawford County want to know who set the Frederic Inn ablaze. Deputies were called to the restaurant June 26 at just before noon to investigate an arson complaint. On July 9, they issued a press release saying they confirmed the fire had been intentionally set and that they are looking for more information. Anyone who knows anything about the fire is asked to contact investigators at (989) 344-3228 or tips@crawfordsheriff.org.
POT DISPENSARY RAIDED Police busted a Cadillac marijuana dispensary. Traverse Narcotics Team officers executed two search warrants at Best Cadillac Provisions in Haring Township and the owner’s residence July 11. The 51-year-old Cadillac man was arrested on charges of conspiracy, delivery of marijuana, maintaining a drug house, and felon in possession of ammunition. A 23-year-old Manton man at the business was arrested for possession of marijuana. The searches turned up two grow operations that were in violation of the medical marijuana law, police said.
POKEMON 911 Grand Traverse County dispatchers received some calls about suspicious people but they turned out to be Pokemon Go players. People were worried about people walking around and appearing to take photos in suspicious spots. It turned out the people were just taking part in the suddenly extremely popular game. “So if you see a group of people running around, laughing, and taking pictures with their phones this is probably why,” dispatchers wrote on Facebook. “Also, if you are out playing please be careful of your surroundings and try and avoid hazardous situations like wandering into traffic, or onto private property.”
MAN JAILED AFTER CRASH A man found standing next to a car that had crashed into a tree near Leland at 5:30am claimed he wasn’t the driver but police arrested him anyway. Leelanau County Sheriff’s deputies arrested the 22-year-old July 12 after they determined he was the driver and he was intoxicated. The man had a previous drunk driving conviction and deputies found open alcohol and marijuana in the vehicle. The Suttons Bay man was taken to Munson Medical Center for treatment and then to jail. The crash occurred on North Lake Leelanau Drive when the vehicle drove into a yard and struck a tree.

Fashion Challenges Beautician Sarah Bryan, 28, of Wakefield, England, who garnered worldwide notoriety last year when she introduced a wearable dress made of 3,000 Skittles, returned this summer with a wearable skirt and bra made of donated human hair (a substantial amount, she said, pubic hair). She admits having had to work in an eye mask, breathing mask and thick gloves, out of fear of donors’ hygiene habits. (More conventionally, designer Van Tran of Brooklyn, New York, won the 12th annual (wearable) Toilet Paper Wedding Dress design contest in New York City in June, with a $10,000 prize from sponsors Charmin and Ripley’s Believe It or Not.) World’s Greatest Lawyers -- Attorney Chris Dyer convinced a jury in La Crosse, Wisconsin, in June that there was “reasonable doubt” about what his client was doing in a family’s basement when he was discovered, pants down, perched (“doggy style”) over the family’s golden retriever, Cooper. Client Daniel Reinsvold (a stranger in the house) told the jury that he has an “intestinal disorder” that makes him subject to “emergencies.” What Reinsvold was doing was apparently perfectly clear to the resident’s 17-year-old daughter, who discovered the scene and reported Reinsvold “screwing Cooper” (and a vet said later that Cooper showed signs of trauma). Nonetheless, Reinsvold was convicted only of trespass and disorderly conduct. -- Attorney Lee Pearlman finally earned an acquittal in June (after two hung-jury trials) for his client Danielle Goeller -- one of a seemingly increasing number of drivers who hit pedestrians but claim they were unaware of anybody being hit. Goeller, 28, a trauma-room nurse with no intoxicants in her system, had struck a 60-year-old man on a busy, heavily lighted Tampa street at 11:45 p.m., cracking her windshield -- but drove on without stopping. “What does she think she hit?” asked the prosecutor. “A deer? A bear?” Responded Pearlman, “She’s a scared girl in the middle of the night who doesn’t have the life experience other people do.” Bright Ideas -- Picturesque Torrelodones, Spain (pop. 22,000), has 6,000 pet dogs and apparently few conscientious dog owners, which town leaders say accounts for the nearly half-ton of “litter” that accumulates daily. The town’s latest bright idea: installing a 7-foot-high, 10-by-10-foot brown, inflated plastic “swirly” in the center of town as a reminder to residents to pick up after their dogs. (Spain’s The Local reported in June that other towns have begun to tackle the problem as well, such as with DNA testing of dogs and street-scrubbing punishment for guilty owners.) -- British student Joshua Browder, 19, created an easy-to-use computer app to help drivers fight parking tickets they believe unjust -- and now reports that users have won 160,000 cases (out of 250,000), all in London and New York City, by following his question-andanswer “chat” interface at DoNotPay.co.uk. Browder said he was motivated to develop the app (which, as of now, is still free of charge) after himself getting about 30 tickets he says he did not deserve. The Passing Parade (1) A bicycle thief was stopped on June 10 when the bike’s owner and several other people chased him from the Wal-Mart parking lot in Eagle Point, Oregon, drawing the attention of a passing rider on horseback (Robert
Borba), who joined the chase and moments later (according to a report in Portland’s The Oregonian) lassoed the man and restrained him until police arrived. (2) A kite surfer on a Sussex beach south of London got into trouble on June 26 and was unable to float back to land -- until he was rescued by two Good Samaritans in kayaks. The saviors happened to be dressed as Batman and Robin for participating in the Shoreham Beach Superhero Paddle. Wait, What? -- Not only are almost all federal employees above average, they are nearly all superior workers, according to a June Government Accountability Office review of agencies’ personnel-rating results. (Yes, the review included the departments of Veterans Affairs and Homeland Security.) Most agencies use a 1 (“unacceptable”) through 5 (“outstanding”) rating system, and GAO found that 99 percent were rated either 5 or 4 (“exceeds ‘fully acceptable’”). -- Not many DUI stops result in attempts to locate the suspect’s chastity belt key, but the May 14 sobriety checkpoint stop of Curtis Eidam, 35, in Clinton, Tennessee, did. Eidam was outfitted in “red mesh see-through hose,” according to the police report, with a ribbon tied in his goatee, and also a “little skirt” (perhaps a tutu), when he told officers he needed his key, which happened to be on a necklace worn by his passenger (a “highly intoxicated” 44-year-old woman). Thus, Eidam was able to unlock and remove the chastity belt, which had been “attached to his penis.” (There was also a handgun -- illegal in Tennessee for an intoxicated person to carry.) Cognitive Failure In a May journal article, biologists from the University of Florida and Oklahoma State University found that more than 80 percent of survey respondents want package labels on all foods that have “DNA” content (even though, yes, all meat and vegetables have DNA). The Oklahoma researcher found earlier that about the same number want such labels to be “mandatory.” (Law professor Ilya Somin suggests playfully raising the fright level of those respondents by adding this “alarm” to the label they demand: “Warning: Pregnant women are at very high risk of passing on DNA to their children.”) Weird Japan Client Partners is only one of several Japanese agencies that supply rental “friends” to the lonely, for hours or days of companionship tailored to the needs of the socially challenged client (with two rules, however: “no romance,” “no lending money”). A writer for AFAR travel magazine interviewed several “friends” in June, one of whom explained: “Japan is all about face. We don’t know how to talk from the gut. We can’t ask for help.” Said the female “friend” (who offered a good-bye handshake to the interviewer): “There are many people who haven’t been touched for years ... who start to cry when we shake hands with them.” But It’s Our “Policy”! Good Samaritan Derrick Deanda is facing a $143 bill from paramedics in Elk Grove, California, after he, passing a car crash, jumped out to pull out a man and his three children (including a 2-year-old), who were trapped in the wreckage. A short time later the paramedics arrived and, noticing that Deanda had a cut on his arm (from breaking the car’s window to free the family), bandaged him. Elk Grove has a policy charging “all patients” at a first-responder site $143 for the “rescue,” and Deanda received his bill in June.

Denim is always trending in one way or another, and this summer is no exception. In fact, designers across the globe seem to have come down with denim fever, creating head-to-toe looks for men and women, using as much lightweight denim as possible. For a less passionate approach, try layering your denim over cottons or tweeds to create a summer look that’s as breezy as it is fashion forward. NATALIE FOLLETT Suttons Bay

and said simply, “They want you at the Lyric.” Firefighters arrived in a minute, but the building was already ablaze. Worse yet, three occupants of the apartments housed above the theater — Mrs. E.J. Miller and Mrs. Frank Anderson and her young son — were trapped atop the burning roof. Flame and smoke had blocked the hallways. Their only escape had been through a window on top of the portico above the theater’s entrance. As the fire blazed, the three stood atop the burning structure, shivering in their night clothes, barefoot and screaming for help. Firefighters clambered up a ladder to bring the refugees down, averting tragedy. “Mrs. Miller’s condition was serious,” the Record-Eagle reported. “Her limbs were nearly frozen, and she fainted from the cold just before being carried to safety.”
THE AFTERMATH
Shortly after the 1949 reopening — July 14, 1949.
W
By Patrick Sullivan hen Traverse City’s Lyric Theatre opened its doors on July 4, 1916, it already had competition. Two other theaters had long since staked claim to Front Street. But it was evident from the moment the Lyric’s long line of gilt front doors swung open to the enraptured public, this particular movie house was special. A newspaper article about the new theater’s opening gushed: “A glance through the four double door entrances shows that one is about to enter a house that is strictly bigcity style.” What that reporter couldn’t know, of course, is how resilient that chic house of “big-city style” would prove to be. Over the next century, the theater would survive not one but two fires, witness cinema’s evolution — and its own — then endure a tragic decline, and finally, a rebirth so grand, the Motion Picture Academy of America today considers it the No. 1 movie theater in the world. Here, the Northern Express raises the curtain on the storied history of 233 E. Front St.
A GRAND OPENING
The Lyric opened in a complex of build-
ings owned by Julius Steinburg, a shrewd and clever man who had, at age 21, disguised himself as a woman to avoid military conscription and fled Czarist Russia. Part huckster, part visionary, Steinburg in America quickly evolved from traveling peddler to wealthy merchant. His grandiose plans in Traverse City: to open “the finest opera north of Chicago,” one that would compete with the City Opera House, a mere block away. He placed an ad for one of his stores, proclaiming his demands to the public: “$10,000 must be raised at once to complete Steinburg’s Magnificent Block. Goods will be slashed and prices ruined to accomplish this result.” The Steinburg Opera House opened in 1894, but it turned out that the City Opera House wouldn’t be his chief competitor for long. Silent films soon shouldered into his business. But perhaps ironically, it would be a cinema that made his block truly magnificent. The Lyric was built in space Steinburg owned around the same time performances at his opera house ended. While Steinburg’s opera house vanished with a whisper, his Lyric arrived with a bang. Over 3,000 people crowded Front Street for its opening day. Some of the first films that

This article is built upon information found in the Traverse City Record-Eagle microfilm archive at Northwestern Michigan College, the local history collection at Traverse Area District Library, and the volunteer historians of the Traverse City Film Festival. played at the Lyric were D.W. Griffith’s Intolerance and Charlie Chaplin’s The Cure. As for other details about the Lyric’s opening day and year, they’ve been challenging to uncover, said Sally Michel, a Traverse City Film Festival historian; the Traverse City Record-Eagle’s 1916 archive was lost in a fire. Michel only discovered the Lyric’s opening date when she combed through newspapers from Manistee and read about an organ player who was headed to Traverse City for a theater opening. More details emerged last year when a stash of 1916 newspapers was discovered in an estate sale, enabling Michel to find an article detailing the Lyric’s opening.
A THEATER ABLAZE
Fire is a regular visitor to this history. One broke out before 2:55am on Jan. 17, 1923, when someone rang the fire station
The theater was a total loss. The roof had caved in during the firefight, and all that remained was smoking ruins. The buildings on each side, however, were saved, including the shuttered Steinburg Opera House, which by then was used for storage. In a time when entire blocks, and sometimes entire cities, were felled by fire, losing only the Lyric was considered a victory for the firefighters. The team, which included 30 volunteers, had braved cruel conditions; temperatures had hovered around zero that night, and the men reportedly had to chop ice from their hands and boots as they worked the hoses. The cause of the fire was never discovered. It had started under the stage, and officials speculated that the source might have been spontaneous combustion. Another theory was raised that an organ repairman from Chicago had unwittingly sparked the blaze. It made sense; he’d worked just hours before the fire at the exact spot the flames had started. Nevertheless, the newspaper reported that the fire’s origin forever would be unknown. “Apparently the case of the fire that destroyed the Lyric Theatre early Wednesday morning will remain a mystery,” a reporter wrote. In addition to the three lives rescued from the rooftop, only a cash register that contained $100 was saved. The region’s oldest instrument, a double bass that had been stored in the basement, was lost. Musical scores had become ash. Mrs. Miller lost a fur coat, reportedly worth $1,600 then, which is $22,500 in today’s dollars, according to the Consumer Price Index inflation calculator. The total damages were estimated at $75,000, or just over $1 million today. Nonetheless, theater chain Fitzpatrick & McElroy Co. vowed to rebuild from the Lyric’s ashes and construct on Front Street the largest and most modern movie theater in northern Michigan. Company officials said the fire had not been completely unfortunate because they had already had their eye on the property and had hoped to acquire it from the Steinburg estate, demolish the theater and build a modern movie house.
“GEE KID, AIN’T IT SWELL?”
The new Lyric theatre reopened on Dec. 19, 1923 with the film Hearts Ablaze, based on a novel by Traverse City resident Harold Titus. The film had been released earlier in the year but was held by the theater company for the special occasion. The new theater was loudly proclaimed to be the finest north of Grand Rapids. “Throngs find the theater even more beautiful than advertised,” a reporter noted. “Every patron emerged with an exclamation

show the sexually explicit movie. An op-ed bemoaned how the violence of Clockwork sparked no outrage, while the sex of Tango wound people up. The county prosecutor determined he could not prosecute the theater under obscenity laws. Sixteen people from Michigan Right to Life and a group called Morality in Media protested on Front Street. But that didn’t stop filmgoers from seeing the movie. In fact, each showing was so packed that people had to line up an hour before showtimes to get seats. Times were changing in other ways. Traverse City had embarked on an era of sprawl. In September 1975, the Plaza Cinema opened where the Meijer parking lot now stands in Garfield Township. In 1978, the State closed so that the theater could be “twinned,” divided into two smaller theaters. On Sept. 9, the last movie to play on the single screen was The End, starring Burt Reynolds. Rotary Charities considered buying the theater because that’s where they performed their variety show each year, but it proved to cost too much. The theater re-opened as a twin theater in time for Thanksgiving. In the early ’80s, the George Kerasotes Corporation (GKC) bought the theater from Butterfield, and it was the scene of much labor strife. In December 1985, just after Christmas, three projectionists were among 35 employees statewide who were fired and replaced by lower-cost, non-union employees. It was an awkward scene in Traverse City, where the theater manager had worked with his dad, a part-time projectionist, whom he had to fire.
A THEATRE REBORN
of praise ranging from ‘It is lovely, indeed,’ to ‘Gee, kid, ain’t it swell?’” According to the newspaper article, the movie went over well and included extra snippets that featured the novelist working at his home on Washington Street. It does not say whether Titus actually attended the event. Hearts Ablaze was considered one of the most notable films of that year, portraying the devastation of pine forests in Michigan by the “ruthless axe of the pioneer lumbermen.” The movie and Titus’s novel upon which it was based, “Timber,” helped spur a conservation movement in Michigan that led to reforestation and enthusiasm from legislators to spend money on fighting and preventing forest fires. As for the structure of the new Lyric itself, the newspaper made one prediction that turned out to be unfortunate. The paper proclaimed that the ingenious building was immune to the danger of fire. It took a quarter century, but time would disprove that promise.
cause of the fire was never determined. A woman in the Miller Apartments, which were housed in an adjoining building, was the first to notice the fire at 6am; she was awakened by a crackling noise. Residents fled. Within minutes, the entire building was in flames. By 6:30am, the roof collapsed, compromising the firewall between the theater and the building next door. Firefighters battled for four hours to keep the fire from jumping to adjacent buildings, and they succeeded, despite disadvantages. (The city had recently invested in upgrades for the fire department, but the aerial ladder truck it had ordered had not yet been delivered.) The fire was thought to have started in the rear of the building, near the stage. The custodian reported that when he left at 1am, everything was normal. Once again, a mystery fire. And once again, an undaunted visionary — this time new owner Butterfield Theaters — came forward, determined to rebuild again, this time better than ever.
MORE THAN HEARTS ABLAZE
FRONT STREET GETS AN ICON
On Saturday, Jan. 3, 1948, fire again struck the Lyric Theatre. It was the city’s biggest fire loss in more than a decade, with damages estimated to run around $150,000, or $1.5 million in today’s dollars. Again, the
It’s hard to imagine today how modern the State Theatre must have looked to the people of 1949. But when it opened on June 30, 1949, its sleek, avant-garde style was jawdropping.
It boasted a bold facade of red macotta tile, a marquee blazing with hundreds of lights, and a sign reading “State Theatre” in a style emblematic of post-World War II chic. Inside, enormous murals — futuristic depictions of the symbols of the region, pine trees and cherry orchards — covered the east and west walls. The first film shown at this new incarnation was It Happens Every Spring. Tickets cost 35 cents for adults, 12 cents for children. The Record-Eagle called the theater “one of the finest and most modern movie houses in the state.” At that time it was the third theater on Front Street. Across the street stood the Tra-Bay, and a block over was the Michigan Theater, which had opened in 1941. The entertainment page might have appeared crowded with ads from competing theaters, but in actuality, Butterfield owned all three.
AN ERA OF DECLINE
The 1970s saw controversy and change. For the first time, X-rated movies came to the State. The first one, A Clockwork Orange, a violent depiction of a strange future, prompted little reaction. Next, in August, came Marlon Brando in Last Tango In Paris. That one got people upset. It was scheduled for a limited run at the State, and people wrote letters to the editor for or against the right of the theater to
Look at pictures of the State from the ’70s or ’80s or ’90s, and you’ll see a place in decline and disrepair. GKC Theatres, which Carmike Cinemas would buy out in 2005, finally abandoned the State in 1996. Businessman and philanthropist Barry Cole bought the theater that year and planned to turn it into a performance art center. That fizzled when not enough money could be raised, and bickering among partners ended in a lawsuit. Interlochen Center for the Arts took over the theater in 2003 and continued the quest to turn the theater into a performing arts center that could host concerts, symphonies and live theater. As those plans went along, however, the nascent Traverse City Film Festival (TCFF) borrowed the theater for its first festival in 2005. TCFF founder Michael Moore and dozens of volunteers prepared the theater for the opening of the festival and, for the first time in almost a decade, a film came to life on the theater’s silver screen: Mad Hot Ballroom. It was a modest beginning, but the festival would change the State’s fate. Rotary Charities took over the theater the next year, and Rotary sold it to the TCFF for a dollar in 2007 with the understanding that TCFF would operate the theater year-round, After an extensive renovation paid for through countless of donations big and small, the State Theatre reopened on Nov. 17, 2007, with a showing of The Kite Runner. Since then, after so much thought, so many volunteer hours, and lots of donated money, it’s become one of Front Street’s best attractions and, according to the Motion Picture Association of America — and not just a few thousand local theatergoers — the best movie theater in the world.

ith over 200 films screening at this year’s Traverse City Film Festival, there’s something for every type of moviegoer attending the event. Whether you enjoy provocative documentaries, beloved classic films, global cinema, feel-good true stories or a huge belly laugh, we share our under-the-radar picks and the can’t-miss events of this year’s festival.
Black Panthers
By Beth Milligan
left behind by director Dziga Vertov himself, bringing to life the film TCFF Founder Michael Moore calls “one of the greatest documentaries of all time.” Doug Benson
HOT-BUTTON DOCS Looking for films that will challenge your views on controversial topics or leave you debating with friends over drinks long into the night? Check out Trapped, Dawn Porter’s look at efforts in several states to restrict women’s access to legal abortions, or Censored Voices, which publicly airs for the first time recorded confessions from Israeli solders about killing Palestinians during the Six-Day War. The C Word will upend everything you think you know about cancer, while Unlocking the Cage might leave even the most hardened skeptic convinced that animals should have the same legal rights as humans. The topics of police brutality and black political resistance — both at the center of national debate right now — are thoughtfully explored in The Black Panthers: Vanguard of The Revolution, a fresh and timely look at the radical political group, and Do Not Resist, a searing examination of the militarization of our country’s police force. Man with a Movie Camera
LAUGHTER’S THE BEST MEDICINE Why so serious? If you’re looking to kick back and enjoy a few laughs, start by picking up tickets to comedian Doug Benson’s famed Movie Interruption events. With Moore and other special guests of Benson’s plopped in the front row with microphones — Mystery Science Theater 3000-style — attendees are treated to live, this-only-happens-once running commentary to ridiculous films. The films targeted for mockery this year: the Jean-Claude Van Damme classic Bloodsport and sexist screwball comedy Kisses for My President, which dares to envision a world in which a woman could become U.S. president. Benson and other festival comedy guests will also appear on stage together for an interactive comedy panel July 30. If you enjoy irreverent satire — and don’t mind poking fun of religion — the clever The Brand New Testament imagines God as an overbearing crank in a bathrobe whose bratty 10-year-old daughter plunges Earth into chaos. TV sitcom fans should definitely not miss Norman Lear: Just Another Version of You, a documentary on the legendary creator of hit shows like All in the Family, Good Times, and The Jeffersons. Lear himself will Skype into the screening. If you’ve ever wondered whether there’s a topic too serious to crack jokes about — the Holocaust, AIDS, 9/11 — the slew of comedians intelligently exploring that question in The Last Laugh will give you plenty to think about. Finally, Parks and Recreation fans should catch stars Aubrey Plaza and Adam Scott in (respectively) a hilarious documentary about a real-life L.A. women’s basketball team and the crowd-pleasing My Blind Brother, also starring comedy phenoms Nick Kroll and Jenny Slate. Ice and the Sky
CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION If you’re a lover of classic cinema, this year’s festival — taking place during the 100-year anniversary of the city’s State Theatre — offers a wealth of tantalizing options. Orson Welles’ daughter, Beatrice Welles, will make a live appearance at a must-see theatrical screening of Citizen Kane, while Sherlock Holmes fans won’t want to miss the incredibly rare screening of the first 1916 film about the sleuth — the sole print of which was lost for over 100 years. The fest will also screen beloved classics including Blow Up, Chimes At Midnight, Adam’s Rib, and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Whatever you do, don’t miss the Alloy Orchestra playing a live accompaniment to 1929’s iconic Man with a Movie Camera. The renowned orchestra will follow scoring instructions
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD Ready to travel around the globe — without ever packing your bags? Several of this year’s TCFF films will transport you to exotic locales, sun-soaked beaches and little-explored nooks of mysterious foreign cities. The stunning documentary
Elephant’s Dream captures both the beauty and the trauma of the recovering war-torn Democratic Republic of Congo, while Oscar-winning director Luc Jacquet (March of the Penguins) returns once again to Antarctica, this time to capture the continent’s dramatic transformation under climate change in Ice and the Sky. Acclaimed documentarian Mark Cousins (The Story Of Film) walked every street — literally — in his native Belfast to bring the great European city to vivid life, a part-travelogue concept also lushly explored by Alexandra Cuesta in her native Ecuador in Territorio. In the playful dramedy El Clasico, two brothers — both little people — set out on a heartwarming road trip on motorbikes from Iraq to Spain. For a frothy summer romp set on the shimmering beaches of the Corsican coast, be sure to check out the sexy One Wild Moment. Kid audience members also can earn stamps on their imaginary passports at the festival, thanks to two family friendly films that will transport audiences Down Under: Hunt for the Wilderpeople is a hilarious “odd couple” adventure between a 13-year-old orphan and a prickly mountain man (played by Sam Neill) stuck in the New Zealand wilderness, and Oddball follows a mischievous Australian sheepdog who becomes his town’s unlikely hero when he protects an endangered group of penguins. Sing Street
FEEL GOOD INC. Many of us go to the movies to feel inspired — and several films at this year’s TCFF fully deliver on that front. Life, Animated is an uplifting documentary about an autistic boy whom doctors feared would never speak again — until his love of Disney movies magically unlocked the key to communicating with his family. Spartans fans will cheer for Men of Sparta, the riveting true story of Michigan State University’s determination to integrate its football team in the 1960s, an effort that led to back-to-back national championships. Brimming with romance, humor and some really great songs, Sing Street captures the energy and excitement of being young and in love and dreaming of success in a rock ’n’ roll band. You’ll want to bring tissues to Presenting Princess Shaw, the powerful true story of a 39-year-old retirement home worker and aspiring chanteuse who found a global audience when a producer halfway across the world turned her songs into viral YouTube hits. And even cynics might find themselves moved by the sheer motivational force of Tony Robbins: I Am Not Your Guru, an unprecedented inside look at the self-help guru’s life and the millions of followers who say he’s changed their lives. Robbins himself will appear in person at two of the TCFF screenings July 29.

t’s interesting that in this day and age, there’s even a need to pen an article specifically about women working in the film industry. But it’s also a reality that the majority of directors in Hollywood are still, in fact, men. A 2015 study by San Diego State University found that, for the top-grossing 250 films, women make up just 9 percent of directors and 11 percent of writers.
The 2016 Traverse City Film Festival is addressing this imbalance by putting a spotlight on female directors via one of this year’s panels, “Who Let the Women In?” (Friday, July 29 at 9:30am, City Opera House), a summit of women filmmakers that the fest predicts might just “start a revolution.” The TCFF also will screen many films helmed by women, including One Smart Fellow, a new movie produced and co-written by Michigan resident Melissa Gilbert (formerly of Little House on the Prairie) and another, Sister Cities, starring actress Amy Smart, who owns Traverse City’s Bonobo Winery with husband and HGTV host Carter Oosterhouse and his brother, Todd Oosterhouse. In the meantime, let’s take a look at some of the female directors to watch this year. By Kristi Kates
THEA SHARROCK
SHARON MAGUIRE
JENNIFER YUH NELSON
Casting the unlikely combo of Hunger Games’ Finnick (actor Sam Claflin) and Game of Thrones’ Daenerys Targaryen (actress Emilia Clarke) opposite each other as leads in this year’s romantic film Me Before You (June 2016) was only one of Sharrock’s smart moves. She got her start directing London theater productions, becoming one of the city’s preeminent stage directors (working with the likes of John Hurt and Benedict Cumberbatch), and then honed her film skills by directing the popular BBC TV series Call the Midwife.
Maguire’s very first film as director was one that still resonates with many women today: the smash hit Bridget Jones’s Diary, based off of the wildly popular book by Helen Fieldling, one of Maguire’s pals. She’s directing the series’ third installment, Bridget Jones’s Baby (arriving September 2016) and has become well-known for her confidence and focus, and ability to remaining undaunted in her directing and casting choices — whether she’s dealing with a heavyweight movie exec or a fussy actor.
Nelson’s claim to film fame may at first seem a little unusual, as the bulk of her most successful work is via animated features. But note that with a worldwide box office of over $600 million, Nelson’s Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011) is the highest-grossing movie directed solely by a woman. Nelson went on from this to direct Kung Fu Panda 3 (January 2016) with co-director Allessandro Carloni. Her animation and visual effects backgrounds have equipped her with a perfectly honed eye for color and detail.
Quote: “I think it’s the shared experience
Quote: “With your first film, you can’t be
the auteur you want to be. You have to make it your own as much as you can, but (the movie studios) are investing in me, so I listen to them. They have fabulous commercial instincts.”
Quote: “There’s always a danger with mov-
that is so wonderful about seeing a movie in a theater, rather than watching it on your iPad on a bus or on your way to work.”
Films of Note: Me Before You is actually Sharrock’s first big-screen success; her other acclaimed project was a dramatic episode of the BBC Shakespeare TV series The Hollow Crown (with actor Tom Hiddleston).
16 • july 18, 2016 • Northern Express Weekly
Films of Note: In addition to the Bridget
Jones series, she directed Ewan McGregor and Michelle Williams in the drama Incendiary, and has helmed a big-screen documentary about wildly influential ’80s rock band R.E.M. (This Film is On.)
ie-making. Everything’s possible, then you go to the practicality of it, then there’s that middle part when you don’t have results yet, you just have a lot of questions.”
Films of Note: As director, the second and
third films in the Kung Fu Panda series and the Spawn TV series; Nelson also worked as animation story artist for the big-screen feature Madagascar.
THE FIRST FEMALE BEHIND THE CAMERA
AMMA ASANTE
NIKI CARO
In her youth, English director Asante was an actress, but she began scriptwriting in her 20s for the U.K.’s Channel 4 and the BBC. Her first film, A Way of Life (2004), won numerous awards for its suspenseful slice-of-life view; this year, she’s the director behind the much-anticipated A United Kingdom (October 2016), featuring Rosamund Pike and Tom Felton. The film tells the story of Prince Seretse Khama of Botswana’s marriage to a white woman from London in the late 1940s.
Caro has been slowly but surely directing films since 1994, building up to her directorial achievement this year, The Zookeeper’s Wife (late 2016), a heavyweight story about the The Warsaw Zoo’s husband-and-wife zookeeper team who helped save hundreds of people and animals during the Nazi invasion. Caro is next directing Callas, a biopic about opera star Maria Callas, starring The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’s Noomi Rapace.
Quote: “We all know that if you give the
It’s as simple as that. I’m not useful for a lot of Hollywood movies. My agent despairs — she says there’s only about three percent of actual product in this industry that I’m useful for.”
same script to two different directors, you get two different movies. The fact that there’s not the greatest chance for women to tell stories through a lens only damages society. It does nothing for people to restrict the variety in which stories can be told.”
Films of Note: Belle, the portrait of the mixed-race daughter of a Royal Navy Admiral, which features Emily Watson, Matthew Goode, and Gugu Mbatha-Raw, is the most popular film to date on Asante’s resume; she still acts, primarily in TV series, and also has written several screenplays.
Quote: “I have to be inspired by the story.
Films of Note: Last year’s Disney sports
movie McFarland USA, featuring Kevin Costner; 2005’s acclaimed North Country, featuring Charlize Theron; and the now-legendary family epic Whale Rider, for which Caro also wrote the screenplay.
Born in France, the woman who is considered the world’s first female director and filmmaker is Alice Guy-Blaché, who started in the film business as a secretary and made her directing debut with the film La Fée aux Choux (1896), a quaint magical tale about a fairy she did for Gaumont-Paris studios. Once she started directing, she began averaging a remarkable two films per week and was quickly made Gaumont-Paris’ production director, overseeing all other directors. Guy-Blaché moved to America in the early 1900s and set up her own production company in New York, plus a studio in Fort Lee, N.J. She would go on to establish the Solax Film Company with her husband, Herbert Blaché. Over the course of her film career, she amassed a staggering 433 directorial credits. She experienced success in the film world for many years, but after her divorce from Blaché in 1922, she moved back to France and found her ties with Hollywood had weakened. She never made a film again and didn’t return to the U.S. until later in her life. She passed away in 1968. Guy-Blaché’s most famous quote explained her early efforts to break into the film industry: “My youth, my lack of experience, my sex all conspired against me,” she said. — Kristi Kates

By Kristi Kates In addition to the Traverse City Film Festival, Michigan hosts several dozen film festivals of various sizes each year, from locally focused showcases to grand events with a wider reach. Here are a half-dozen of our state’s biggest and best.
The Ann Arbor Film Festival:
March 21–26, 2017 Art and avant-garde blend in one of the state’s most eclectic cities More information: aafilmfest.org Ann Arbor’s artistic heritage runs deep, with this fest having already screened early works by such big names as James Benning, Andy Warhol, Gus Van Sant, and Agnes Varda. This one’s often the first Midwestern stop for directors as they progress through the region’s roundup of smaller film events, and it offers nearly 200 films from over 20 countries in six days.
Media City Film Festival, Detroit/Windsor:
July 28–Aug. 1, 2016 Dual-country fest offers cooperation through filmmaking More information: mediacityfilmfestival.com Reportedly the only film festival in the world to present artists’ films on both sides of an international border, this fest celebrated its 20th anniversary a couple of years ago, topping 35,000 in film entries from 112 nations. In addition to its hefty roster of film screenings, it also features lectures, workshops, specially commissioned art, and live performances.
Waterfront Film Festival, South Haven: Freep Film Festival, Detroit:
March (exact 2017 dates TBA) The Motor City proves it’s got more than just cars to offer More information: freepfilmfestival.com With support from participants like The Fillmore, Cinema Detroit, and the Detroit Historical Society, this festival, as presented by The Detroit Free Press and Michigan.com, purposefully focuses on films that are about or relevant to Detroit and the state of Michigan. And if you adore documentaries, this is one event you definitely won’t want to miss.
September (exact 2017 dates TBA) Putting the focus on the films of the “Middle Coast” More information: waterfrontfilm.org From animation to documentaries, this most casual of Michigan film fests makes its informal vibe one of its biggest draws, earning it notoriety as a low-pressure place for celebs like Daryl Hannah to showcase films or host workshops and panels. Several documentaries that have premiered here have even continued on to the Academy Awards.
THE SUPER SIX
Indie movie buzz often begins at smaller but prestigious regional film festivals like Traverse City’s own — one of about 3,000 other film festivals happening worldwide every year. The second tier includes events like South by Southwest’s film division, Chicago’s International Film Fest, or New York City’s Tribeca Film Festival. But then there are the Super Six, the glitzy pinnacles for aspiring filmmakers:
SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL
Sundance, the largest U.S. film fest, is second on the glam list, as founded by actor Robert Redford and attended by a real who’s who of American film. January in Park City, Utah; sundance.org/festival
BERLINALE FILM FESTIVAL
This German film fest is considered to be the one with the most public ticket sales, admitting over 500,000 people to its screenings and satellite events. February in Berlin, Germany; berlinale.de
FESTIVAL DE CANNES
The biggest film fest for pure Hollywood glamor is definitely Cannes, showcasing a seemingly endless parade of couture gowns and tuxes and its coveted golden prize, the Palme d’Or. May in Cannes, France; festival-cannes.com
Cinetopia International, Ann Arbor:
June (exact 2017 dates TBA) Michigan’s sneak peek at what’s causing a buzz on the national film circuit More information: cinetopiafestival.org Poised right at the start of the summer movie season, Cinetopia is the place where a shortlist of favored and buzzed-about screenings from other, earlier film fests make one of their most notable Midwestern stops. This is also one of the more accessible film festivals, as Cinetopia’s associated “Cinema Circus” events are free and open to all.
East Lansing Film Festival:
November 3–10, 2016 College connections infuse Lansing fest with a worldly reach More information: elff.com Its tie-in with Michigan State University helps this fest to truly blend the best of the Midwest with imported movies, and in the past it has highlighted such Michigan talent as Michael Moore and Bruce Campbell. The ELFF excels with an impressive roster of student films and short films in particular, both of which have proven to spawn several standouts each year.
MELBOURNE INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL
The largest film festival in the Southern hemisphere was launched in 1952. It both boosts local film production and generates millions for Australia’s economy. July in Melbourne, Australia; miff.com.au
VENICE INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL
This is the oldest and longest-running film festival, having started in 1932, with many screenings still taking place at the historic Palazzo del Cinema. August in Venice, Italy; labiennale.org/en/cinema
TORONTO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL
The closest major film fest to the U.S. is this Canadian screen spectacle that welcomes over 300 films from 60 countries every autumn. September in Toronto, Canada; tiff.net/festivals

KL Six KL SENSATIONAL FESTIVALS By Kristi Kates Whether you like your festivals vintage, heritage, historical, or modern, there are several great choices on the horizon. Mark these gems down in your calendar of summer celebrations:
One CHARLEVOIX VENETIAN FESTIVAL
July 16–23 The Venetian Festival got its start 86 years ago as a candlelit boat parade. That’s a far cry from the big, friendly bustle that now takes over Charlevoix, but according to organizers, in 2016, the city’s signature event is bigger and better than ever. Dan Barron, president of the festival for the last 18 years, noted, “We’re unique among northern Michigan festivals in that we present these waterfront concerts with national performers for free.” The shows rewind on Saturday, July 23 with 1964: The Tribute. Singer Cassadee Pope hits the stage on Thursday, July 21. The artist, perhaps best known as the first female winner of The Voice, blends country and pop into a crossover sound. Her new EP, Summer, was just released in June. Canadian rock band The Guess Who appears Wednesday, July 20. But the music isn’t all there is —Venetian also offers more than a dozen athletic tournaments; an Aquapalooza waterfront stage, featuring beachside reggae music; the coronation of the festival’s queen; and an Arnold Amusements carnival. The week wraps up July 23 with the lighted boat parade that started it all (this year’s theme: Under the Sea), immediately followed by aptly named “Spectacular Harbor” fireworks. Location: Charlevoix waterfront. For the full schedule and more information: venetianfestival.com
Two
INDIAN RIVER SUMMERFEST
July 20–24 The annual Summerfest offers something for every member of the family, which is probably why this fest continues to grow in popularity. “All the kids’ events are great, and the entertainment tent is a great way to get together with your friends,” said Rachel Vizina of the Indian River Chamber of Commerce.
Wednesday kicks off with the big free Beach Bash and Lobsterfest fundraiser, while Thursday is Family Fun Night, complete with a pizza contest, ice cream social, rubber duck race, fireman’s water ball contest, and teen dance with DJ Dan Frazier. The weekend includes the 36th annual craft show, cruise night, and live music (Gaylord’s The Remedee on Friday; Indian River’s The Blitz on Saturday). Also on Saturday: Sand Drag Races, 5K and 10K foot races, Northern Michigan Animal Rescue Network’s animal rescue Adopt-A-Pet event, and a chili cook-off. Sunday is the 9th Annual Indian River Kayak Bike Biathlon, the final event. Festivalgoers who buy a 2016 Summerfest button for $10 can gain entry to the entertainment tent on Friday and Saturday, plus see Saturday’s fun Sand Drag Race. (Entry to the individual events is $5 per.) Location: Entertainment tent and most activities in Marina Park. For the full schedule and more information: irchamber.com
Three 42ND ANNUAL BOYNE FALLS POLISH FESTIVAL
Aug. 4–7 Visit Poland by proxy at this vibrant fourday uroczystość (celebration) complete with carnival rides, Polka dances (many, many Polka dances) and savory Polish foods like pierogies and golabki (aka gawumpki). The local Polish community does a spectacular job of celebrating its heritage at this event, right down to the beautifully-embroidered folk costumes and Old World Polish food recipes. These traditional Polish elements are combined with classic summer Americana in the form of parades, tractor pulls, a car show, and more. Highlights for this year include Thursday’s Oldies Night, featuring classic Polka music and awards for the best-dressed ’50s- or ’60sstyle participant; Friday’s youth activities and family movie; Saturday’s Grand Royale Parade
and the popular Battle of the Bands competition; and Sunday’s four-wheel-drive mud run and an evening performance by Gaylord dance band The Cookies. Location: Downtown Boyne Falls, corner of Mill and Railroad streets. For the full schedule and more information: boynefallspolishfestival.com
Four Rendezvous in Mackinaw
Aug. 4–7 Step into another era entirely at this Mackinaw City Fest that brings to life the experience of 18th- and 19th-century trading and shopping in the Mackinaw region. You’ll be able to visit merchants and blanket traders offering crafts, clothing and periodappropriate accessories for sale as you immerse yourself into this historical time, which is made even more realistic by the costumed actors peppering the event. Adding to the fun are musket and cannon firings, hawk and knife-throw demonstrations, an auction of historical items, plus storytelling, food, and live music by flutist Silver Fox, the Tibbiawssi Fife and Drum Corps, and Genot Picor and the Trois Bouffons. Another fair highlight is the “Looting of the Town,” where costumed participants “loot” stores on Central Avenue, then showcase a skirmish in the Mackinaw Crossings Performance Court. Location: Conkling Heritage Park on South Huron Avenue. For the full schedule and more information: mackinawcity.com
Five
Harbor Springs Car Festival
Aug. 11 Car enthusiasts, Harbor Springs is the place you’ll want to be when the Car Festival takes over Zorn Park. Half the fun of this fest is in the journey, as you’ll often see vintage and unusual cars
driving through downtown before and after the event, but the main draw is the sheer variety of vehicles tooling around town. Since this isn’t a limited or categorized festival, you’ll get to see a little bit of every sort of car that could possibly catch your fancy, from hot rods and rat rods to exotic sports cars, muscle cars, classic cars and trucks, and even more unusual vehicles like those that have appeared in years past, such as a genuine New York taxi or the Batmobile. With Little Traverse Bay just a few steps away and plenty of food and beverage options available onsite and around downtown, you’ll be able to fuel up (pun intended) ahead so you can check out every incredible vehicle there. Location: Zorn Park, just west of downtown. For the full schedule and more information: mackinawcity.com
six Alanson Riverfest
Aug. 12–14 Alanson is justifiably proud of their location along the Inland Water Route, and they celebrate that fact with this themed festival that includes oodles of water events like kayak races and lighted boat parades. The fest kicks off on Wednesday with a volunteer party, gains momentum on Thursday with a teen dance, and then splashes out more fun all weekend long with a giant arts, crafts, and antiques Flea Market; late-night live music; a 5K run; the Alanson Library’s book sale; and, in the Village Park next to the swing bridge, a much-anticipated free concert by the Petoskey Steel Drum Band. This year, the fest is also showcasing Alanson’s new Sanctuary Island, the beginning of a village project that will offer riverboat tours, improved public boat docks, a boat house, and a boardwalk to the swing bridge. Location: Downtown Alanson and the community building on US-31. For the full schedule and more information: alansonriverfest.com

THE HEART AND SOUL
HUEY LEWIS AND THE NEWS By Kristi Kates
If you like contagious rock ’n’ roll that’s catchy enough to stick with you for days, you’ll dig Huey Lewis and the News — if you’re not already a fan. The group originated in California’s Bay Area back in 1979, just in time to catch the wave of blues-inspired ’80s rock as performed by similar bands like The Outfield and Mike and the Mechanics, but it’s Lewis’ distinctive vocals and stage presence that have helped this band sell 20 million albums and stand the test of time for 37 years. Lewis attributes the band’s enduring appeal to one simple thing: truth. “I have no idea [of the reason for our success],” he explained. “I like to think that it’s because the songs ring true. After all, that is the most important element to popular music. I always say, when the man says he’s going to Kansas City, we have to believe that he’s going to Kansas City.” Lewis and his band went from California to Kansas City and well beyond, then back to California — Hill Valley, to be exact — the fictional town where the Back to the Future movies were set. Two of Huey Lewis and the News’ biggest musical claims to fame were the pair of songs they contributed to the original Back to the Future soundtrack: “Back in Time” and “Power of Love” (No. 1 on Billboard’s singles chart), both of which ruled radio playlists during the time of the movie’s release.
24 • july 18, 2016 • Northern Express Weekly
With the renewed interest in the film, which was re-released theatrically for one day only last October in honor of its 30th anniversary, interest in Lewis’ music has revived, as well. “That’s been fun, and obviously very welcome,” Lewis said. But those weren’t the band’s only hits. Other Huey Lewis songs that endure to this day are tunes like “Heart and Soul,” “Heart of Rock and Roll,” “Stuck With You,” “Hip to be Square,” “If This Is It,” and “Workin’ for a Livin’”; you’ll hear several of these, and many more, at their upcoming concert. “We’re mixing it up a little,” Lewis said. “A handful of hits — or two handfuls — some of our greatest misses, and a couple of new tunes.” The show will also feature Lewis taking a turn on harmonica and harmonizing a capella style with his bandmates on several early rock standards. The band is touring through early September, an odyssey with which Lewis has a love-hate relationship. “What I like best are those two hours on stage,” he said. “What I like least are the other 22 hours.” There might be some future rock standards on the way soon. “We are working on some new stuff, but we’re on the road all this summer, so it’ll be fall before we can devote some real time to it,” Lewis said. “As for [the next album’s] release, I’m telling people early this century,” he said. Huey Lewis and the News will be in concert at Interlochen’s Kresge Auditorium at 8pm on July 19. For tickets and more information, visit tickets.interlochen.org.

THE RHYTHMS OF UPBEAT CADILLAC By Kristi Kates Tim Scully, production manager and show producer of UpBeat Cadillac said he was “drafted by a friend,” but apparently the friend — American jazz double-bassist Eddie Calhoun — knew talent when he saw it. Today, Scully runs one of the most popular music series in the region. Not surprisingly, it was music that brought them together. Calhoun, born in Mississippi in 1921 and raised in Chicago, had a long and illustrious career, performing with the likes of Erroll Garner, Miles Davis, Lennie Capp, and Ahmad Jamal. He, like many other black musicians of his era, spent time at northern Michigan’s Idlewild resort community. Though Scully had no musical background — he owns a household moving company and a motel — the two men met through the Idlewild community in the late ’80s and found common ground. “We became friends, and he needed some help to keep his music going,” Scully said. “I used to help him get to gigs and carry his gear and such.” At the time, Calhoun was working with another friend to put a jazz festival together in northern Michigan, “but his friend wasn’t doing a very good job,” said Scully. With Calhoun bringing in some high-profile musician friends from New York, he wanted the fest to be well done. “So I helped,” Scully said. “I even drove to Grand Rapids to rent the musical gear — having no idea what I was renting — but we pulled it off, and that became the first Idlewild Summer Jazz Fest, back in 1990.” Calhoun passed away at his home on Paradise Lake in 1993, but Idlewild is still an active community. After the success of that first event, Scully started producing
more shows in the region, including a jazz series in Baldwin, which was the foundation for UpBeat Cadillac. “I was doing those shows twice a week, and people were traveling from Cadillac to Baldwin to watch the concerts,” Scully said. “One day, a couple of ladies from the Cadillac Arts Council and the visitors bureau asked me what it would take to get the series to Cadillac. I said two things: interest and funding. So the arts and visitors bureaus got together and raised some money, and today we also get contributions from listeners and audience members,” Scully said.
One day, a couple of
ladies from the
Cadillac Arts Council
and the visitors bureau asked me what it would take to get the series to Cadillac. I said two things:
interest and funding. The concerts, held at the Cadillac Rotary Performing Arts Pavilion right on Lake Cadillac, had a bumpy start, but it held fast, thanks to local camaraderie and some quick thinking from Scully. “At the very first UpBeat Cadillac show, it rained — and hard,” he said. “So we turned the band around as they were playing and told the audience to jump
up into the bandshell. Everyone stayed dry, and the band never missed a note!” The pavilion is the perfect location for the events, as the park area recently underwent some updates and looks better than ever. “They’ve just redone the whole area, the green space, the seating, and a whole new sound system,” he said. “It’s great.” Scully now brings music into Cadillac and the surrounding environs from all over the country. “We book a lot of blues and R&B,” he said, “world-class jazz, pop, rock, a little of everything.” This year’s UpBeat lineup includes Australian singer Harper and his band, The Midwest Kind (July 21), Detroit jazz-funk mashup band Planet D (July 28), and Grammy-winning guitarist Paul Nelson (Aug. 4); the full schedule of concerts can be found at cadillacmichigan.com. Surrounding cities are benefitting from Scully’s hard work, too, as several now have their own series in addition to Cadillac’s. Tuesdays, you’ll find Scully-booked music at the ShoreLine ShowCase in Manistee; Wednesdays and Sundays are Live at the Gull Landing in Pentwater; Fridays are the Crossroads Picnic Showcase in Reed City; and Saturdays are Sounds from the Forest in Baldwin. “As I book each band, we schedule them for six shows, and they play this little circuit we’ve developed,” Scully said. “We could still use more funding for the series, as we like to pay the bands well and keep the shows free so that everyone can enjoy the music, but I think the future is looking good.” UpBeat Cadillac takes place every Thursday from 7pm–9:15pm, rain or shine, at the Cadillac Rotary Performing Arts Pavilion on Lake Street.

a vivid life By Al Parker
Painter Laura Crabtree Hollenbeck opened her own gallery on Union Street in Traverse City in April and is quite happy with its momentum. “At first, people sort of trickled in, and we spent time getting the inventory built up, but the pace is picking up nicely now,” said the Illinois native who moved to Traverse City in 2013. Hollenbeck’s paintings, as well as the color pencil drawings and ceramics by her husband, Arnie, fill much of the gallery. It’s a comfy space for painting, teaching art, inspiring viewers, and sharing ideas, music and creativity. Over the years Hollenbeck has worked in watercolors, acrylics, pottery and other media. Now she focuses on oil pastels to create her vivid still lifes, colorful floral scenes and realistic portraits — much of it created after she overcame a serious health threat.
HOW I GOT STARTED At five years old or so, my parents frequently entertained for business. To keep me occupied during long restaurant dinners, unbeknownst to me, my dad paid the waiters to buy my tiny watercolors. So I would paint the night away. After that I simply drew everything — you name it. [While I was in] grade school, my mother found an artist who taught oil painting in her basement. She had us copy master works or her work. This gave birth to an obsession with all art mediums and supplies, which continues. THE STORY BEHIND MY ART, MY INSPIRATION A desire to capture things. In a portrait, human or animal, I strive to “get it,” to portray the beauty of something I am passionate about. And that might need explanation, but then, maybe not — it’s always in the eye of the beholder. There is always a story behind what may appear to be a simple pile of apples. I’m inspired by not only what I might feel passionate about, but perhaps someone else’s passion. Anywhere from a beloved lost pet to a cause, charity, or perhaps a college class taught by one.
YOU WON’T BELIEVE A little over four years ago, I woke up from what was diagnosed as a terminal coma after brain aneurysm surgery. To survive that and paint my way into an international acrylic competition — and make the cover of its publication within the first year? And then to have a kind gallery get my work out there and help me into ArtPrize shortly after … well, I still can’t believe it. I found out last summer that I have been experiencing blinding simple seizures since that surgery. Epilepsy is often a result of brain lesions. The seizure meds since have made painting a dream compared to the intense labor I’d been struggling with. Plein air and large paintings are now an option again, and I am thrilled. Another thing — I once won a chemistry award in college. I was the only woman in the class. WORK I’M MOST PROUD OF Most recently, I love the rescued animals
that I’ve painted from Black Sheep Crossing in Northport. But [my] ArtPrize 2013 entry was a very big deal for me. The farmers of the Fulton Street Farmer’s Market in Grand Rapids taught me so much about sustainable agriculture. They changed my life and, for the most part, how I eat. They were my friends when I couldn’t drive and while I was in the early stages of recovery from the surgery. It was wonderful to have an opportunity to showcase my reverence for what they work so hard to do on display in DeVos Place. [My painting] is on display there in Grand Rapids. They brought their families to see their portraits. I’m told they were quite proud and emotional. To make them that happy, well, that’s what it’s all about for me. MY FAVORITE ARTIST I don’t have just one. I admire all who master their creative paths, even if by accident. And it doesn’t have to be the way I paint. I am amazed by centuries of art. Most recently I have found Northport artist Gene Rantz fascinating. Of course his work is incredible
… yet he still makes the time and considerate effort to be interested in others’ work, to offer insight and show respect, appreciation. His integrity for fellow artists and dedication to keeping the artist community alive for a very long time is admirable, in my opinion. He has been very kind to me and those close to me. ADVICE FOR ASPIRING YOUNG ARTISTS Study everything. And never stop. Find inspiration in what you learn. Take classes, find your passions. Don’t limit yourself. Have an open mind and heart. If people are unkind, judgmental or shun you — use them as examples of how you never want to be to someone else. Wake up every morning and love yourself, your life, and be happy — life is short. MY WORK CAN BE SEEN/PURCHASED At the Crabtree Art Gallery & Social Studio at 126 S. Union St. in Traverse City, on the gallery Facebook page, or at lauracrabtreehollenbeck.com and crabtreeart.org.

“The most important thing that I took home from this workshop was that there is HOPE. After a car accident that fractured my sternum I began having severe lower back pain. The week before I attended this workshop I was on vacation with my husband and I couldn’t even walk. This workshop showed me that traditional treatments focusing only on my lower back symptoms are not enough. I was able to focus on my upper back mobility and my hip mobility and I am able to sleep again without pain. It is amazing. I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone suffering with lower back pain.” Anne Smith Back pain and sciatica can completely ruin your life…I’ve seen it many times. It can make you lean on the shopping cart when walking through the grocery store (how embarrassing)… It can take your focus away on enjoying your life…like spending time with your children or grandchildren… It can mess up your work or force you to do a job you don’t want to do… It can ruin your travel plans… And it can take away your ability to live life…having to rely on others…or to wait for you to sit down for a minute.
And less movement and enjoying of life can lead to depression, increased stress and a sedentary lifestyle (mostly sitting…not moving much) which leads to bigger health problems…and life problems. Here at the Sciatica and Lower Back Specialists at Superior Physical Therapy, we’ve helped 100’s of people from right here in Traverse City…and the rest of Grand Traverse County…who have suffered needlessly with lower back pain and sciatica…it’s our specialty. So by request, I’m hosting a Sciatica and Lower Back Pain Workshop here at Superior Physical Therapy 3899 West Front Street, Traverse City, MI Tuesday, July 26 from 10-12pm. If you’re confused about what to do and looking for answers, here’s some of what you’ll learn: The Single Biggest #1 Mistake back pain and sciatica sufferers make which actually stops them from healing… The 3 Most Common Causes of Lower Back Pain and Sciatica…
A Sure-Fire Way to Pick the Right Treatment for the Cause of Your Pain (and save you a ton of time and money) How a problem in your back can cause pain, numbness or tingling in your leg…
What successful treatment and permanent relief looks like without the side effects of medications, injections or surgery.

Sodalicious
By Kristi Kates
E
ast Jordan couple Debbie and Marty Carey have long run a successful ice cream and broasted chicken stop, Marty’s Cones and Carry Out, on one side of the Jordan River. But when they spotted a building in need of renovation on the other side of the riverbank, they knew just what to do with it: make it into a vintage soda fountain, to expand their ice cream empire citywide. 28 FLAVORS “East Jordan is kind of divided in two by the south arm of Lake Charlevoix and the Jordan River,” Debbie Carey explained. “So when we saw that available building, we decided we could offer both a choice of where to go and a different environment, in a second place across the water.” The Careys chose to open up an old fashioned soda fountain, complete with big draft soda arms and a friendly neighborhood ambiance. “We’re in such a great location too,” Debbie said. “We look right out on Main Street from the front, and out the back is the harbor and Memorial Park.”
Classic Malts and Sodas Rule at Summertime Ice Cream Haven
Sodalicious’ menu revolves around 28 carefully selected flavors of handdipped ice cream, including offerings like Jacked-Up Tennessee Toffee, Majestic Milky Way, Ultimate Peanut Butter Brownie, and regional favorite Superman, all imported north from a downstate ice cream company in Shelby Township called Ashby’s Sterling Ice Cream. “We chose them because their flavors and ingredients are so great,” Debbie said. “It’s absolutely delicious ice cream.” The Careys would know; they’re members of the Great Lakes Ice Cream and Fast Food Association. They initially joined to help their collegeaged staff get scholarships, but they’ve found they’re reaping even more benefits. MICHIGAN POTHOLE? “Belonging to the association allows us to go to trade shows,” Debbie explained. “So the first week of each February, we head to the ice cream trade show in Lansing. We see so much cool stuff, and we get lots of ideas for Sodalicious.” Sodalicious carries all the expected flavors — vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, etc. — plus less standard varieties like Raspberry
Chip Cheesecake. Their best-selling flavor: Michigan Pothole. “The official description calls it chocolate ice cream ‘with thick chunks of tar and asphalt,’” Debbie said. “But the chunks are actually two different kinds of chunky chocolate. And Ashby’s Sterling actually donates a small portion of each sale to MDOT to help fix Michigan roads.” Sodalicious does more than simply serve up ice cream in bowls. “We make a lot of things here fresh daily,” Debbie said. “Homemade brownies for brownie sundaes, no-bake cookies — people actually call to make sure we have those — and our own waffle cones for the ice cream. We found the perfect malt for our malts. We think they’re the best. And everything can be custom-made, as well — sundaes, cones, whatever you’d like. It’s definitely not an assembly line.” LOCAL SWEETS The sodas are a step above cool, too, with the draft arms providing drama as well as drink. “In the days before bottled soda pop was available everywhere, you’d go to the soda fountain, and they’d mix soda water from the draft arm
with flavorings like cola, vanilla, or cherry,” Debbie explained. “We do that right here, and we also can add ice cream right to the soda to make what’s called an old fashioned soda.” Sodalicious tries to keep things Michigan-made as much as possible. In addition to the Ashby’s Sterling Ice Cream, the shop serves Traverse City’s Northwoods soda pop, uses Ellsworth’s Backdraft Roasting Company coffee for their coffee milkshakes, and brings in Herkner’s Cherry Topping, also from Traverse City. “That stuff is so good,” Debbie said of the homemade fruit-drizzle toppings. “Everyone loves it.” Whether your ice cream treat of choice is a Boston Cooler, old fashioned malt, sundae, or cone, you’ll find Sodalicious the perfect summer stop. With its red-and-black checked floor, red booths and stools, chalkboard menus, and the 50-year-old mint green Multi-mixer malt machine presiding over all, stepping into Sodalicious is as refreshing as the treats themselves. Sodalicious is located at 109 Main St. in downtown East Jordan, 231-536-3085. Find it on Facebook and at sodalicious.net.

By Kristi Kates During the summer months, Harbor Springs residents and resorters often can be found reveling in the quiet northern corner of Little Traverse Bay, reluctant to head south into the busier community of Petoskey. “So we decided to team up with the Harbor Springs Library and bring our programming across the bay to them,” explained Megan DeWindt, Crooked Tree Arts Center program director. The result is the Harbor Springs Summer Friends Lecture Series, helmed by a diverse mix of speakers that offer an intelligent indoor diversion for hot summer days. The lectures, coordinated by DeWindt and colleague Alex Dailey, take place on Tuesday evenings in the Harbor Springs Library’s common area. “Due to the intimate space, we set up to accommodate 50 attendees per event,” DeWindt explained. “The setting is close, but it creates a nice vibe that reflects the tight-knit community in Harbor Springs.” With this elbow-to-elbow audience, the lectures feel more personal than might be expected, an unusual and welcome component of the series. “Guests are actually able to meet and ask the lecturers questions face to face,” DeWindt said. “A traditional Q&A takes place immediately after each lecture, as well, so attendees can
ask questions in whichever format they are most comfortable.” This is the fourth year of the series, which carries no formal selection process; DeWindt and Dailey simply keep an eye out for interesting topics and speakers, and they often get suggestions from lecture attendees. “Our patrons and staff are constantly forwarding along names of people who they would like to hear speak,” DeWindt said, “but most importantly, we like to draw from our incredible community that is bursting at the seams with people who have fascinating stories to share. The series piques a variety of interests, and we definitely plan to continue it.” Here are the events that the Summer Friends Lecture Series has to offer for the 2016 season: JULY 19: THE MOTOR CITY ARTIST Scott Hocking Since 1996, he’s stayed loyal to the city of Detroit, the hometown where he creates photography projects and sculptural installations that often include found materials. Hocking’s inspirations run deep — from current events to ancient mythology — and that diverse approach has led him to show exhibits of his artwork across the globe, from Detroit’s own Detroit Institute of Art
231.929.9175

and Museum of Contemporary Art to art institutes in Chicago, Germany, and Austria. (5pm–6pm.)
Clockwise from top left: Scott Hocking, the ladies of Red Dirt Road, Ken Stolpmann, and Anders Kelto will speak at the 2016 Harbor Springs Summer Friends Lecture series.
JULY 26: THE ROAMING JOURNALIST Anders Kelto Former Traverse City All-American soccer player Anders Kelto has moved on to a different kind of acclaimed accomplishment — that of being a Peabody Award-winning journalist. Kelto has traveled extensively across Africa, covering the continent for National Public Radio programming, as well as Public Radio International’s The World show. He will share stories and photos from his work there, including coverage of Nelson Mandela and events like the 2010 World Cup and Ebola crisis. (5pm–8pm.)
AUG. 9: THE ENTERPRISING BUSINESSWOMEN Marie Eckstein and Lin Alessio Eckstein has 30 years of experience as a vice president with Dow Corning Corporation and three years as CEO of East Jordan Iron Works; Alessio, a former inner city educator and art gallery owner, runs Interlochen Perennial Farms. Together, they’ve formed Red Dirt Road, a Cambodian-based fashion accessories business and social enterprise endeavor that employs nine women in a rural workshop to the benefit of both the employees and their village. (5pm–6pm)
AUG. 2: THE CRAFTY CYCLIST Ken Stolpmann New Zealand native Stolpmann worked as an apprentice for yacht designer Owen Wooley, and he turned his boat-building experience to the land, creating his own line of “wood fixies,” unique and striking wood-framed bicycles that are not only rideable but also works of art. His bicycles have been exhibited in the Detroit Bike City Show and the North American Handmade Bicycle Show and are named Owen Bikes after Stolpmann’s mentor, Wooley. (5pm–6pm)
All lectures take place at the Harbor Springs Library, 206 S. Spring Street. Tickets are $15. For more information and ticket availability, visit crookedtree.org or call 231-347-4337.

KYLIE’S GOING TO BE ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS If you’re a fan of the British television series Absolutely Fabulous with Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley as lead characters Eddy and Patsy, chances are you’re going to love the new upcoming AbFab movie, too. Wannabe fashionistas like Ed and Pats are sure to also be enamored with the soundtrack for the movie, which is set to feature Kylie Minogue singing the show’s classic theme song, “This Wheel’s On Fire.” The rest of the soundtrack is nothing to shake a lipgloss wand at, either; it’ll include equally AbFab tunes from the likes of Santigold, La Roux, Paloma Faith, Leonard Cohen, and Charles Trenet … Alternative roots-rockers Alabama Shakes are following up their latest album, the Grammy Award-winning Sound and Color, with an appearance at the 31st annual Farm Aid concert to benefit America’s family farmers in Bristow, Va., this fall. Farm Aid founders Dave Matthews and John Mellencamp will be among those also appearing on stage at the event, as will Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real, Carlene Carter, Insects vs. Robots, Jamey Johnson, and Margo Price. The Farm Aid show will take place Sept. 17, and tickets are on sale now at livenation.com … The UK’s biggest-selling, most popular albums of all time have been revealed by

Peppers album hitting 5.1 million. Rounding out the rest of the best-selling albums list are sets by Adele, Oasis, Pink Floyd, Dire Straits, another by Queen, and two by Michael Jackson … Miss America 2016 Betty Cantrell performed opera during her turn at the pageant (her talent entry was singing “Tu Tu Piccolo Iddio” from Madame Butterfly), but it turns out she’s leaning a little more toward country music as a long-term career. The celebrity and singer actually grew up on a farm in Georgia and said in a recent interview that country music reminds her of “everything that’s good in life” and of “real people.” She plans to move to Nashville when her reign as Miss America ends this September and is also considering Broadway theater opportunities … MODERN ROCK LINK OF THE WEEK: If you missed Florence and the Machine during their past year and a half of touring, you might have to wait a while to see them again, as they’re well overdue for a break.

Various Artists – Me Before You Original Motion Picture Soundtrack – Interscope As the accompaniment to this sometimes sweet, sometimes sad, sometimes wry romantic character study starring Emilia Clarke and Sam Claflin, Interscope has matched up songs of similar range. From the downtrodden pop soul of Max Jury’s “Numb,” to the jubilant beat of the 1975’s “Sound,” the thoughtful folk-pop of Ed Sheeran’s “Photograph,” and the sentimental end refrain of Imagine Dragon’s “Not Today,” this is a near-perfect match of sound and movie.
Toby Fox – Undertale Soundtrack – Materia Collective Ranging from a quarter of a minute to over four minutes in length, a whopping 101 tracks make up the full Toby Foxcomposed soundtrack for the magical RPG game Undertale. The music actually makes up an enormous part of the game experience, and to its credit, it’s still a compelling listen all on its own; its melodic, stylized mix of sampled sounds, chiptune and synths features plenty of audio motifs that add cohesion and a sense of story throughout the track-listing.

Rupert Gregson-Williams – The Legend of Tarzan Original Motion Picture Soundtrack – WaterTower Accompanied by photos from the film, production credits, and a note from the film’s director, David Yates, this score sets the mood right away, as “Opar” conjures up the dense, mysterious surroundings of Tarzan’s legendary jungle via hesitant, suspenseful audio breaks plus towering, modern vocals from Zoe Mthiyane. Tracks like “Togetherness” and “Akut Fight” feel more like traditional Tarzan, while the sole pop song on the set, Hozier’s “Better Love,” focuses directly on the love story of Tarzan and Jane.
Various Artists – Café Society Original Motion Picture Soundtrack – Sony
Woody Allen returns with this ensemble comedy-drama movie, a love story set in the Hollywood movie scene of the 1930s. The music deftly captures the sound and ambiance of that era, with many tunes performed by Grammy-winning Vince Giordano and the Nighthawks, a New York City orchestra that focuses on music of that time (think “Jeepers Creepers” and “My Romance”), as well as the well-known archival sounds of Benny Goodman, Ben Selvin and Count Basie, plus Cole Porter soundalike Conal Fowkes.

Q
: I’m a single guy who started a “friends with benefits” thing two months ago with an unhappily married female co-worker. We’ve since developed feelings for each other and started talking about a future. I’m worried because people always say, “If she cheated with you, she’ll cheat on you.” And because she’s unhappy with her husband, does that mean she’ll eventually be unhappy with me and see it as reason to cheat? — Hesitant
A
: There are many people who cross ethical lines at work, but most of them just do it by taking home Post-its or a stapler.
Okay, sure, have a FWB thing, but with a married co-worker? What happened — too overworked to swipe right on Tinder? And as for why your co-worker started outsourcing her sex life, there’s an assumption that people cheat because they’re in crappy marriages or relationships. And maybe her marriage is unhappy. But infidelity researcher Shirley Glass found that even people in happy, loving marriages can end up cheating. They do this for a variety of reasons: more sex, better sex, different sex (men especially go for variety), or sometimes just because “she isn’t bad-looking and there’s an empty office with a big couch two doors down.” As for whether this woman would cheat on you, that depends on whether she’s the sort of person who cheats. And no, that isn’t as idiotic as it sounds. Evolutionary psychologists David Buss and Todd Shackelford found that there are personality traits common to people susceptible to cheating. One of the strongest predictors is “narcissism” — a personality trait marked by self-importance, self-absorption, a profound sense of entitlement, and a lack of empathy. Another big predictor is “low conscientiousness,” reflected in unreliability, disorganization, laziness, and a lack of self-control. And finally, there’s the unfortunately Norman Batesy-sounding “high psychoticism” — researcher-ese for a mix of aggressiveness, impulsivity, and an inability to delay gratification. Sound like anybody you’ve met in the janitor’s closet recently? Even if this woman checks out personalitywise, you’ll have a much clearer picture of what’s possible after she gets divorced. That is, if she gets divorced — if this thing with you doesn’t turn out to be “affair-apy” (a little sexual tide-me-over until she can patch things up with her husband). Regardless, you
adviceamy@aol.com advicegoddess.com
should take the time — a year or more — to parse who she really is and whether she and her husband are simply two (irreconcilably) different people or whether he just watches a wee bit too much ESPN when he comes home. If you’re lucky, you’ll find these things out from her, and not in some awkward moment at the end of the workday when you finally get a chance to, uh, chat with her husband — through the windshield as you’re clinging to the hood of his moving car.
Q
: I’m a woman, married for a year to a great guy. The problem is that he’s too gentle when he touches or kisses me, and I’m starting to get really frustrated in bed. I know I should have let him know what I really like a long time ago. How can I do this now without hurting his feelings? — Embarrassed

A
: It’s hot to have a husband who’s kind of an animal in bed — except if that animal is Hello Kitty.
Words, who needs ‘em? Maybe you figured he’d get the hint from your body language — maybe because you’re pretty sure you would have if the tables were turned. Well, research by social psychologist Judith A. Hall finds that women are far better at spotting and decoding nonverbal messages (in facial expressions and body language). This makes evolutionary sense, considering a mother’s need to suss out what’s wrong with her 6-monthold (who is unable both to speak and to get on the internet at 3 a.m. to self-diagnose his diaper rash as a brain tumor). Still, you don’t have to give him a poor performance evaluation (ouch!) or go into sex ed lecturer-like detail. Instead, take the Gene Hackman approach. Hackman reportedly informs movie directors that the only directions he’ll take are “louder, softer, faster, slower.” (You might want to supplement those with “harder” and “rougher.”) To encourage greater openness, ask him what his sexual fantasies are (which should lead to the question, “Well, what are yours?”) — and do your best to deliver on any that don’t involve illegal acts with livestock. You might also watch movies together with sex scenes that are more “G.I. Jane” than Jane Austen — like the 2005 movie Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Then, when you’re in bed, suggest “Mr. & Mrs. Smith-style,” and he should get what you mean. Before long, when you tell your friends that sex with your husband is “dreamy,” it won’t be because you usually doze off during it.

D
isney’s The BFG is a real nail-biter — a film so boring, you’ll gnaw you nails down to the quick simply out of the need for something to do. Slow, uneventful, and dramatically inert, the restless energy in the auditorium for the first 90 minutes is more than most viewers will be able to take, and it demands some sort of release. So yeah, the latest from director Steven Spielberg is a disappointment to be sure, something all the more frustrating because his dream team is all here. The film is produced by Kathleen Kennedy (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) and Frank Marshall (Raiders of the Lost Ark); written by the late, great Melissa Mathison (E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial); with cinematography by Janusz Kaminski (Saving Private Ryan); and music by John Williams (every great soundtrack ever). Yet even when you combine all their talents with source material from a beloved children’s classic about a strong and smart little girl (Ruby Barnhill) and her genteel giant friend (Mark Rylance, Bridge of Spies), as it turns out, the world of Roald Dahl’s wry and droll sense of imagination is simply no fit for that trademark Spielbergian sense of wonder. And try as they might for nearly two tiresome hours, the two never manage to successfully mesh together. Sweet-natured, low-key, and with its heart in the right place, this had the chance to be the refreshing antidote to the garish and frenetic entertainment that dominates children’s fare. But unless you or your child is a very old soul indeed, the sincere and mannerly approach will register as mundane and their adventures as tedious.
the shallows This past January, after knowingly subjecting myself (and by extension, you, dear reader) to a movie I knew full well would be objectively terrible, I wrote a Charles Foster Kane-esque “Declaration of Principles” and vowed never again to review a movie I knew would be a stinking dumpster fire. Walking into Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates, the latest raunchy fauxmantic comedy the Apatow generation just can’t stop making these days, I genuinely worried I was about to violate my newly sacred standards. After all, this film not only shares two lead actors with that earlier, unnamable monstrosity but also a decidedly similar tone.
babbling (she presents herself at their meeting as a hedge fund manager, someone who “manages hedges and … funds them”). Alice also was recently left at the altar, a nightmare she keeps replaying in a video on her phone as therapy. Luckily, the women’s marks are oblivious, and the plan works. The group find their way to Hawaii, where a remarkably cliché-free movie wedding scenario awaits.
But in the end, I’m happy to report that Mike and Dave is overall pretty delightful and actually pretty funny. It’s just the right amount of raunch, and with no icky after-taste, a balance that is pretty hard to strike in movies like these.
It should be noted that, despite what it may sound like, Tatiana and Alice have no sinister motives in mind here. They’re not scamming anyone (aside from the free trip), and once settled amongst the brothers’ family, they fit right in. Alice finds genuine kinship with both Dave and bride-to-be Jeanie (Sugar Lyn Beard), who is having second thoughts about her straight-laced fiancé (Veep’s Sam Richardson).
Based on a true story — believe it or not — Mike (Workaholic’s Adam DeVine) and Dave (Tiger Beat’s Zac Efron) are bachelor brothers who, at the insistence of their beleaguered family, must bring dates to their little sister’s destination wedding in Hawaii. The brothers view themselves as the pivotal life-of-the-party components of any get together, but in reality their exuberance and enthusiasm always leads to disaster; fireworks are misfired, trampolines upended, elderly relatives infarcted.
Surprisingly, pretty much everyone in this movie is likable; there’s no evil bridesmaid to fend off, no smarmy fiancé to expose, and the lineup of comedic bit parts and setups moves the story right along. DeVine and Efron have great rapport with one another, though the former is prone to defaulting to a shrieking man-child but the latter sticks more laughs than you might expect from this reviewer’s favorite former Disney Channel star. They are kindly frat bros you’d like to have a beer with.
They are selfish screw-ups to be sure, but they’re not dicks. And in the film’s first of many forays into genuine sincerity, they take their sister’s pleas to heart. They promise to bring “nice girls” as their dates to the wedding. And naturally they use the soundest method of locating eligible women to accompany them — Craigslist — and naturally, their post goes viral.
There’s also a subtle progressive undercurrent: Jeanie and Sam are a mixed-race couple, but never is this a point of contention — in fact, it’s hardly commented on at all because, after all, love is love. The brothers have a brash and confident lesbian cousin, but she’s never the butt of any meanspirited jokes. And Alice and Tatiana are never slut-shamed or demeaned for their hard-partying lifestyle. A lesser movie would play all these plot points for cheap laughs, and it’s really very nice to see an adult comedy treat viewers like adults. As a result, the film feels truly modern. If you don’t mind an occasional dip into the sophomoric, I heartily recommend it.
Tatiana (Parks and Recreation’s Aubrey Plaza) and Alice (Pitch Perfect’s Anna Kendrick) see the brothers on TV and hatch a plan: Rather than answer the Craigslist ad directly, the two will fake a meet-cute and sweep them off their feet. Tatiana is confident but dim and dons some fake Warby Parkers and pretends to be schoolteacher. Alice is nervous and prone to

his is a movie that feels like summer. And it’s not the beachy setting or its sun-dappled beauty but that it captures the best of what a summer blockbuster should be: pure riveting entertainment. Yet this is no blockbuster. It’s something much, much smaller and more modest, with a tight budget of only $17 million. Stripped of Hollywood excess, The Shallows is lean and mean — just like the killer fish at the story’s center. And in a summer that has been filled with over-bloated and ultimately forgettable “bigger is better” entertainment, this is a welcome respite. It’s the incredible story of one woman’s (a sensational Blake Lively) survival saga, narrowly escaping a shark attack and finding sanctuary on a rock only 200 tantalizing yards from shore. Yet with a blood hungry behemoth continuing to circle the waters, it might as well be the moon. So yeah, it’s a shark movie, but it’s one so effortlessly efficient in its storytelling, so unpretentious in it’s B-movie brilliance, it just might be the best shark movie to come along since Jaws. Spanish action savant Jaume Collet-Serra (Non-Stop) has made one heck of a sharp, satisfying and thrilling piece of filmmaking. It’s fun, it’s pretty, it’s 86 minutes of engaging entertainment — nothing more and nothing less.
finding dory
P
ixar always delivers. But Finding Dory, the sequel to 2003’s charming tale of familial devotion, Finding Nemo, is merely a perfectly serviceable follow-up that, while entertaining, doesn’t reach for anything new. Set a year after Finding Nemo’s events, Dory is feeling out of sorts; she loves her adopted family of Marlin and Nemo but yearns to meet her real one. Fragments of early memories of her parents (voiced by Diane Keaton and Eugene Levy) at home start to surface. Dory convinces Marlin and Nemo to help her find her parents, and the three soon find themselves in Californian waters, where Dory is “rescued” by a marine life institute, and now Merlin and Nemo try to figure out how to get Dory back. Pixar can’t be all WALL-E and Inside Out all the time (or can it?), but the studio has conditioned us to expect that level of quality all the time. It’s a curse to be sure, one that bites Pixar pretty hard when it fails to clear that bar. But we can forgive the creators their missteps, especially when you can tell their hearts were in the right place. Dory’s heart was right where it should be, but I’ve already forgotten most of it. I’ll wager you’ll do the same.

CANCER
(June 21-July 22): Capricorns may be the hardest workers of the zodiac, and Tauruses the most dogged. But in the coming weeks, I suspect you Cancerians will be the smartest workers. You will efficiently surmise the precise nature of the tasks at hand, and do what’s necessary to accomplish them. There’ll be no false starts or reliance on iffy data or slapdash trial-and-error experiments. You’ll have a light touch as you find innovative short cuts that produce better results than would be possible via the grind-it-out approach.

THE AUDIENCENR
www.bigapplebagels.com
TUESDAY 7 PM - National Theatre Live! ARIES (March 21-April 19): You now have more
luxuriant access to divine luck than you’ve had in a long time. For the foreseeable future, you could be able to induce semi-miraculous twists of fate that might normally be beyond your capacities. But here’s a caveat: The good fortune swirling in your vicinity may be odd or irregular or hard-to-understand. To harvest it, you will have to expand your ideas about what constitutes good fortune. It may bestow powers you didn’t even realize it was possible to have. For example, what if you temporarily have an acute talent for gravitating toward situations where smart love is in full play?
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): ): A directory
published by the U.S. Department of Labor says that my gig as an astrologer shares a category with jugglers, rodeo clowns, acrobats, carnival barkers, and stuntpersons. Am I, therefore, just a charming buffoon? An amusing goofball who provides diversion from life’s serious matters? I’m fine with that. I may prefer to regard myself as a sly oracle inflamed with holy madness, but the service I provide is probably more effective if my ego doesn’t get the specific glory it yearns for. In this way, I have certain resemblances to the Taurus tribe during the next four weeks. Is it OK if you achieve success without receiving all of the credit you think you deserve?
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Over the course of
a 57-year career, Japanese movie director Akira Kurosawa won 78 major awards for his work, including a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Oscars. Among the filmmakers who’ve named him as an inspirational influence are heavyweights like Ingmar Bergman, Werner Herzog, Bernardo Bertolucci, Robert Altman, Francis Ford Coppola, and Martin Scorsese. But Kurosawa wasn’t too haughty to create lighter fare. At age 86, he departed from his epic dramas to create a 30-second commercial for a yogurt drink. Did that compromise his artistic integrity? I say no. Even a genius can’t be expected to create non-stop masterpieces. Be inspired by Kurosawa, Gemini. In the coming weeks, give your best to even the most modest projects.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): ): My friend’s 12-year-
old daughter Brianna got a “B” on her summer school math test. She might have earned an “A” if it weren’t for a problem her teacher had with some of her work. “You got the right answer by making two mistakes that happened to cancel each other out,” he wrote on her paper next to question seven. I suspect you will soon have a similar experience. Leo. But the difference between you and Brianna is that I’m giving you an “A.” All that matters in the end is that you succeed. I don’t care if your strategy is a bit funky.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): ): Have ever
fantasized about being a different gender or race or astrological sign? Do you suspect it might be fun and liberating to completely change your wardrobe or your hairstyle or your body language? The coming weeks will be an excellent time to experiment with these variables, and with any others that would enable you to play with your identity and mutate your self-image. You have a cosmic exemption from imitating what you have done in the past. In this spirit, feel free to read all the other signs’ horoscopes, and act on the one you like best. Your word of power is “shapeshifter.”
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The Golden Goose
Award is given annually to “scientists whose work may have been considered silly, odd, or obscure when first conducted,” but which ultimately produced dramatic advances. Entomologists Raymond Bushland and Edward Knipling were this year’s winners. More than 60 years ago they started tinkering with the
sex life of the screwworm fly in an effort to stop the pest from killing livestock and wildlife throughout the American South. At first their ideas were laughed at, even ridiculed. In time they were lauded for their pioneering breakthroughs. I suspect you’ll be blessed with a vindication of your own in the coming weeks, Libra. It may not be as monumental as Bushland’s and Knipling’s, but I bet it’ll be deeply meaningful for you.

DOWNTOWN
IN CLINCH PARK
ScORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): ): I hope it
doesn’t sound too paradoxical when I urge you to intensify your commitment to relaxation. I will love it, and more importantly your guardian angel will love it, if you become a fierce devotee of slowing down and chilling out. Get looser and cozier and more spacious, damn it! Snuggle more. Cut back on overthinking and trying too hard. Vow to become a high master of the mystic art of I-don’tgive-a-f*ck. It’s your sacred duty to steal more slack from the soul-anesthetizing grind.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I regularly
travel back through time from the year 2036 so as to be here with you. It’s tough to be away from the thrilling transformations that are underway there. But it’s in a good cause. The bedraggled era that you live in needs frequent doses of the vigorous optimism that’s so widespread in 2036, and I’m happy to disseminate it. Why am I confessing this? Because I suspect you now have an extra talent for gazing into the unknown and exploring undiscovered possibilities. You also have an unprecedented power to set definite intentions about the life you want to be living in the future. Who will you be five years from today? Ten years? Twenty years? Be brave. Be visionary. Be precise. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Here’s one strategy you could pursue, I guess: You could spank the Devil with a feather duster as you try to coax him to promise that he will never again trick you with a bogus temptation. But I don’t think that would work, frankly. It may have minor shock value, in which case the Devil might leave you in peace for a short time. Here’s what I suggest instead: Work at raising your discernment so high that you can quickly identify, in the future, which temptations will deliver you unto evil confusion, and which will feed and hone your most noble desires.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) After a cool,
dry period, you’ll soon be slipping into a hot, wet phase. The reasonable explanations that generated so much apathy are about to get turned inside-out. The seemingly good excuses that provided cover for your timidity will be exposed as impractical lies. Are you ready for your passion to roar back into fashion? Will you know what to do when suppressed yearnings erupt and the chemicals of love start rampaging through your soft, warm animal body? I hereby warn you about the oncoming surge of weird delight -- and sing “Hallelujah!” for the revelatory fun it will bring.

PIScES (Feb. 19-March 20): I’m composing
your horoscope on my iPhone after midnight on a crowded bus that’s crammed with sweaty revelers. We’re being transported back to civilization from a rural hideaway where we spent the last 12 hours at a raging party. I still feel ecstatic from the recent bacchanal, but the ride is uncomfortable. I’m pinned against a window by a sleepy, drunken dude who’s not in full control of his body. But do I allow my predicament to interfere with my holy meditation on your destiny? I do not -- just as I trust you will keep stoking the fires of your own inspiration in the face of comparable irritations. You have been on a hot streak, my dear. Don’t let anything tamp it down!
