But then the editors turned to women elected to state legislatures. Their number “has skyrocketed since the 1980s,” they said, “growing from just a couple of hundred nationwide to 1,812 in 2016.” That in itself is true, but before we suffer a shoulder separation patting ourselves on the back, we should note that this year there are 7,383 seats in state legislatures and that the 1,812 filled by women amount to only 24.6 percent of the total. Moreover, women occupy only 20.9 percent of the seats in the Michigan legislature (31 of 148), our state thus ranking a puny 34th among the 50 states.

As far as I know, women comprise somewhere around 50 percent of the total population of both the United States and the State of Michigan.

There’s more to be done.

Avoiding The Parking Empire

Thomas Kachadurian deserves a standing ovation for shedding light on the monopoly the Traverse City Downtown Development Authority has over parking.

Downtown Parking An Embarassment

In his recent column “The Parking Windfall,” Thomas Kachadurian hit the proverbial nail squarely on the head. The only thing he missed was the process of using the new parking pay stations. I cannot imagine someone standing in the rain or in a blinding snowstorm waiting for their credit card to be authorized so they can input the meter number, a number probably forgotten by the time the card is approved, waiting for acceptance, and deciding if they wish to have a receipt, or not.

I am not proud of the fact that I avoid shopping in downtown Traverse City but I refuse to have a meter determine how I spend my time shopping or dining. I have heard, ad nauseam, the excuses: employees will occupy all the spaces, all cities the size of TC have parking meters. Well, I need better reasons and none seem forthcoming.

It seems that all city streets, including downtown, have been supported in part,

In a few weeks, school will start. Another year of the P-20 (prenatal to age 20) system, and another year of Common Core. I am wondering how long it will take before parents do homework of their own and see how damaging this system is. Nobody voted on it. nobody even knew it was coming. Written by test company employees and not state-led, many states signed on to the program before these “standards” were written, just to get the “Race To The Top” funding promised if they signed on.

Included in the rules for this cash was for schools to create a state longitudinal data base, allowing third parties to access kids’ personal info. The Family Educational Rights & Privacy Act (FERPA) has been gutted to the point of being not useful anymore. Now clinics are going into schools as well. Health info will be stored in the education records as well, because Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) doesn’t apply to schools.

I remember in the middle to late 90s, core math came into play and parents had something to say about it, and their cries put the option for “traditional math” back in the curriculum. It’s time teachers speak their minds about this as well. They fear for their jobs if they do. Does that sound like America?

Kelley Vilenski, Interlochen

More To Be Done On Gender

A recent Detroit News editorial praised the recent advances of women in politics and business. Hillary Clinton’s victory “shattered the glass ceiling” of male domination of candidates for president, said the editorial, and constituted “an accomplishment American women in the 20th century could only dream of.” So far, so good.

I agree with Thomas Kachadurian: I avoid downtown as I too refuse to feed your meters.

by our city taxes each year, so I ask myself, why do we have to pay to use spaces we are already supporting?

In his column “The Parking Windfall,” he states, “The other 90 percent of the money collected for parking goes to fund the parking empire itself.” The “empire” you so perfectly describe sums up the entire parking situation and the DDA. It is indeed an empire, a money making empire.

opinion

By Jack Segal On July 15 a coup attempt erupted across Turkey that briefly threatened the stability of that long-time United States and NATO ally.

The attempt has shaken Turkey’s relationship with NATO and the U.S. and raised questions about Turkey’s role in the ongoing struggle within the Islamic world.

The coup plotters were shockingly inept. By failing to take control of the media they were unable to silence the democratically-elected government of President Reccep Tayyip Erdogan.

When the vacationing president learned of the coup, he used his smartphone to speak to the world via CNN Turkey.

Turkey’s modern history is riddled with coups and attempted coups. Much can be attributed to the powerful role of the military that began with the nation’s founder, Mustafa Kemal or “Ataturk,” who introduced sweeping reforms to Turkey’s peasant society. He replaced Arabic script with a western alphabet, outlawed wearing the fez, and forbade women from wearing the veil.

But Ataturk’s most important reform was to create a political system that was strictly secular. Islam -- the religion of 95 percent of Turks -- was kept separate from the affairs of the government. Strict adherence to this principle became the overriding characteristic of Turkish governance and the military saw itself as the protector of that principle.

But in recent times, as accession talks with the EU dragged on, Turks began to question Europe’s attitude toward Turkey. Former French President Sarkozy once famously said that “Turkey is not, and never will be European.” In the face of such rejection, and in the midst of the upheavals emerging in the Middle East, internal forces pushing for a more conservative, more “Islamic” Turkish society began to gain traction. This allowed something of a return to his roots for President Erdogan, who had come to prominence in 1994 as a leader of the Islamist Welfare Party.

While Erdogan shifted for a decade to a more secular position and co-founded the Justice and Development (AKP) party -- which he led to three successive victories as Prime Minister -his commitment to secularism became a matter of debate. Under his leadership, Turkey has enjoyed steady economic growth. But Erdogan also began scheming to reform the Turkish Constitution and possibly take the country in a more Islamist direction.

Erdogan’s maneuvering and Turkey’s history of military-led challenges to elected governments made for a string of challenges that have persisted throughout Erdogan’s reign. Coup plotting led by secret societies within the officer corps were discovered in 2009 and allegedly again in 2010.

In 2010, Erdogan ordered the arrest of 159 generals, admirals, colonels and captains, most of whom have since been exonerated. Since then, Erdogan has turned increasingly authoritarian, jailing hundreds of lawyers, academics and military and government officials. In the aftermath of last month’s coup attempt, over 20,000 have been jailed.

Amidst these internal tensions, over the past five years, Turkey has been torn by wars on all sides: the internal struggle against the Kurds, the civil war in Syria and the struggle against

4 • august 8, 2016 • Northern Express Weekly

the “Islamic State (ISIS).” A flood of 2.7 million Syrian refugees fleeing ISIS has hit Turkey hard.

At the same time, hundreds of foreign fighters have streamed across the Turkish-Syrian border to join ISIS. For much of the conflict with ISIS, Turkey’s position has been ambiguous: sometimes turning a blind eye to the flow of fighters, funds and weapons to ISIS, sometimes supporting the fight against ISIS, but always viewing any aid to the Kurds as a threat. Turkey had even refused to allow NATO to use the air base at Incirlik in southeastern Turkey for its anti-ISIS bombing campaign, then in July 2015 suddenly agreed to its use, but not in support of the Kurds.

Last month’s coup attempt was a cause for concern for all NATO allies, but the danger it posed to U.S. interests was unique. The base was surrounded by Turkish troops and power was cut off, all operations suspended.

U.S. personnel hunkered down to protect the rarely-acknowledged fifty-odd “special” (i.e. nuclear) weapons that are stored there. Those weapons were never threatened, but their presence raised alarm bells in Washington.

The post-coup arrest of the Turkish base commander, General Van, underscores the fact that the weapons might have ended up under the control of anti-government forces had the coup not failed.

Just to further complicate things, the Erdogan government is now engaged in a sharp dispute with the U.S. over a Turkish imam who has lived in self-imposed exile in Pennsylvania for decades. Fethullah Gülen is a religious leader whose followers are now accused of instigating the coup.

With all the chaos inside and outside its borders, it’s fair to ask where Turkey is headed. Despite its recent deal with the EU to keep millions of refugees on its territory in exchange for billions in aid and free visa travel for Turks to the EU, Turkey has seemingly lost interest in EU membership. In the war against ISIS, Turkey has vacillated from close cooperation to outright obstruction.

One can speculate that Erdogan sees the weakening of ISIS as an opportunity to supplant the “Islamic State” and allow Turkey to become the new focus for Sunni Muslims. Erdogan may envision Turkey as the reincarnation of the once-mighty Ottoman Empire, with Turkey standing against both Sunni Islamist extremism and the hated Shiites of Iran and Erdogan as the new Caliph.

Turkey has long been one of The U.S.’ closest military partners, yet that alliance is now severely strained by the diplomatic fight over Gülen and our differences over the fight against ISIS. Senior U.S. officials are hurriedly streaming to Ankara to try to preserve Turkey’s key role in American strategy in the region (such as it is). Clearly, Turkey has and will pursue its own interests and seek to extend its influence, irrespective of what the U.S. might want. That principle of independence is now putting American interests and influence to their greatest test in decades.

top five 1 Raven Hill Beaming Up

Legos! Books!

Only one Michigan science center was selected to host this summer’s NASA exploration workshop, and it’s right here in northern Michigan.

The staff at East Jordan’s Raven Hill Discovery Center were thrilled to find out that they’d been chosen for the opportunity.

Outreach staff from NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland will be at Raven Hill from 10am–4pm on Saturday, Aug. 20 to present information across a range of NASA topics, such as power energy storage and conversion, materials and structures for extreme environments, and how technology drives exploration.

Demonstration carts will carry gear explaining all the details on 3-D visualizations and wind tunnels, plus showcase a variety of NASA exhibits and artifacts.

Space enthusiasts of all ages will be able to participate in hands-on activities that include creating energy by harnessing the sun’s power, constructing a handheld jet engine model, and building a robotic arm end effector (a device or tool connected to the end of a robot arm).

And, of course, plenty of NASA souvenirs will be available for purchase.

The regular Raven Hill Discovery Center admission of $10 will be reduced to $5 for this special day, and food trucks will be on site. For more information, visit ravenhilldiscoverycenter.org or call 231-536-3369.

tastemakers Smoke on the Water’s Grilled Cheese Bacon and Apple Sandwich While downtown Charlevoix’s Smoke on the Water has become well-known for their smoked brisket and peeks of Round Lake just down the block, they’ve also got some other hidden gems on their menu that you won’t want to miss.

One new and tasty addition is the Grilled Cheese Bacon and Apple sandwich, a savory and rich mix of flavors and cheeses that’s at once unexpected yet familiar.

The folks at SOW, as the restaurant is sometimes called, take Challah bread and coat it with a flavorful layer of roasted red onion mayonnaise, and then stack brie and provolone cheeses, bacon, and thin slices of Granny Smith apples on top. Then the entire thing is grilled, so it fuses together into rich layers with cheese in every bite, the melted brie a particular highlight.

If you prefer this one vegetarian, they’ll substitute fresh tomatoes for the bacon (this tastes like an entirely new sandwich, so consider even if you’re not a vegetarian).

And make sure you arrive early: SOW is only open for breakfast and lunch.

Grilled Cheese Apple and Bacon is available for $10.50, served with chips and a pickle at Smoke on the Water, 103 Park Avenue, Charlevoix (231)-237-9604.

THE LEAST CANDIDATE spectator by stephen tuttle

Wednesday, August 17 through Saturday, August 20 7:30 PM | Tickets: $20, $25 “Looong gone,” but never forgotten! Back by popular demand, Mitch Albom’s hit play, “Ernie,” brings Detroit’s beloved Hall of Fame broadcaster Ernie Harwell to the stage.

It’s a safe bet that Donald Trump is the least informed, thinnest skinned, and most temperamentally unsuited of any potential president in memory.

States Army, in Afghanistan. Muslims, they were there to speak against Trump’s antiMuslim proposals and suggested he had not made the sacrifices they had.

All three Trump presidential qualifications were on display on ABC’s This Week program when George Stephanopolis asked him about Vladimir Putin and Ukraine.

Trump was shocked that Hillary Clinton supporters at the Democratic Convention would say something critical about him.

So he did the only thing he knows how to do: attack and insult, in this case, Gold Star parents who lost their son in service to our country. Besides, Trump said referring to his business deals, “I’ve made a lot of sacrifices.”

As always, Trump’s response was absolute.

“He’s not going to Ukraine, OK, just so you understand. He’s not going to go into Ukraine, all right. You can mark it down.

You can put it down. You can take it anywhere you want.”

When Stephanopolis pointed out that Putin had, in fact, already gone into Ukraine and occupied the Crimean Peninsula, Trump made a dazzlingly fast pivot. He said it was weak leadership, NATO and President Obama who were to blame for the action he just said would never happen.

His most notable sacrifice has been the truth. His “tens of thousands” of Syrian refugees pouring in, “thousands of Muslims” dancing in the streets of New Jersey on 9/11, claims that we’re the most heavily taxed country in the world — the list of Trump’s preposterous fictions is now so long it would take Factcheck.org multiple pages just to catalog them all.

His campaign is not based on any real issues, which is a good thing for him. It’s based on the notion that the sky is falling And there you had the Trump Trifecta: ignorance of the subject, overselling of his clueless perspective, and immediate blame of someone — anyone — to cover his mistake.

His campaign is not based on any real issues, which is a good thing for him. It’s based on the notion that the sky is falling, those people are to blame, and he, without so much as a single specific explanation of how he will do it, will save us.

First, though, there are enemies to vanquish. Anyone who disagrees with him is added to the list. Trump will then call them a mean name and attempt to Tweet them into submission.

His latest inanity is whining about the scheduled debates: Rigged by Hillary and the Democrats, he bellowed, because two of them will be the same night as NFL football games.

He started by going after entire ethnicities, religions and genders. Mexican immigrants were rapists and murderers. After all, Trump said, they “ … aren’t sending their best … ” Then he added Muslims to the list of people who should be banned from immigrating, and added that those already here should be under constant surveillance.

It’s a classic Trump lie. Debates are set by an independent commission comprised of an equal number of Democrats and Republicans. They’ve been doing it for three decades.

This year’s schedule was announced in September of 2015, months before anyone knew who the nominees would be. Two debates in 2012 were held on the same night as NFL games without a hitch.

Regrettably, Trump has a long track record of abusive language toward women. He’s called them “slobs,” “pigs,” fat slobs,” “fat pigs,” “disgusting pigs,” “sick” — oh dear, it’s a long list.

He’s also incensed that fire marshals are attempting to enforce building capacity ordinances at his rallies, which is actually their job, and he has declared that the entire election is probably rigged. Anything that doesn’t go his way is rigged.

Yet, he says, “the women” love him, and he loves them.

Recently, Trump took his attack strategy to a level not previously seen in presidential politics. Most of us never even imagined it.

At the Democratic National Convention, Khizr Khan made a speech while his wife Ghazala stood by his side. They lost their son, Humayun, a captain in the United

Trump, it turns out, is a bit of a dullard. He admits he doesn’t like to read books, apparently does not follow current events (or surely would have remembered his pal Putin invaded Ukraine in 2014), has no knowledge of the history or importance of NATO, no idea that presidents cannot impose tariffs, and no idea what Brexit was. The list of what he doesn’t know, that he should know, is even longer than his list of misogynistic insults of women.

Donald Trump’s world is full of conspiracies he believes are designed to deprive him of what he deserves: everything. It’s the ultimate con job, and like all scams, the longer it goes, the trickier it becomes for him.

He has the least plans, the least knowledge, the least qualifications and the least clue.

He’s the least candidate, maybe ever.

Crime & Rescue PAINTBALL ATTACK PROBED Someone used people for paintball target practice on the streets of Cadillac.

City police want to find whoever was behind the July 31 attacks. Officers received their first call at 10pm; incidents were reported near the canal on North Blvd, on Second Ave., and on Bond St. Witnesses said the paintball assaulters were spotted in a pickup, Capt. Eric Eller said.

Officers zeroed in on several suspects and they planned more interviews, he said.

The incidents may be connected to several vehicles around Cadillac being egged in recent weeks.

BICYCLIST STRUCK A pickup truck struck a bicyclist near Grayling.

The 55-year-old Grayling man was traveling on his bike on M-93 in Grayling Township when he was struck from behind Aug. 1 at 8:18pm. The man was airlifted to Munson Medical Center in Traverse City, Sheriff Kirk Wakefield said.

PASSED OUT DRIVER ARRESTED A man who was found passed out and hanging out of his vehicle after he’d been refused service at a Maple City establishment was arrested for drunk driving.

Leelanau County Sheriff’s deputies arrested the 30-year-old at 7pm July 31 in the parking lot of Kerby’s Bar and Grill.

A woman who witnessed the Maple City man arrive at the bar called 911 when she feared the man was going to drive away. Deputies determined the Maple City man was intoxicated and arrested him for drunk driving with a high blood alcohol content.

WOMAN EJECTED IN CRASH A 37-year-old Manton woman was critically injured when she was ejected from her car in a crash.

Wexford County Sheriff’s deputies believe Sharon Phillips was driving too fast when she lost control and struck a tree July 31 at 9:06pm.

The accident happened on E. 14 Road near N. 37 Road. Phillips was in critical condition at Munson Medical Center a day after the crash.

MAN CHARGED WITH MOLESTATION A 34-year-old Blair Township man is accused of having sexual contact with a 15-year-old girl.

The girl and her mother were staying with the man when the alleged contact occurred Jan. 26, Grand Traverse County Sheriff’s deputies said.

Daniel James Montie denied an encounter took place but he was charged with three counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct after DNA evidence backed up the allegations, according to the charges.

COPS: ABDUCTION NEVER HAPPENED A Green Lake Township woman who called to report that her husband was kidnapped at knifepoint was arrested when her story fell apart.

Grand Traverse County Sheriff’s deputies said the intoxicated 31-year-old woman reported that her 35-year-old husband was assaulted and taken away against his will early Aug. 2.

Deputies later found the man and the suspect,

by patrick sullivan psullivan@northernexpress.com

a co-worker, at their work place. The man said he had not been abducted but rather had called his co-worker and asked to be picked up because he wanted to get away from his wife.

The woman was arrested for domestic assault and filing a false police report.

BIRDHOUSES SWIPED FROM VILLAGE Someone stole a bunch of birdhouses at the Grand Traverse Commons.

The whimsically decorated birdhouses were attached to a tall stump near the Village at Grand Traverse Commons when they were stolen July 31. They were part of an art project organized by retailers at the Village.

Anyone who knows who is responsible should call Traverse City Police at (231) 995-5153.

PURSE THIEF BUSTED Cadillac Police followed credit card purchases to track down a suspect in a stolen purse case.

A woman reported at 10am Aug. 2 that her purse was grabbed from her unlocked car while she was parked at Dollar General.

There were several credit cards in the purse, and police soon learned that one of them was used to make a purchase downtown at 11:10am. An officer got a description of the woman who used the card and her vehicle and officers found the suspect an hour later at a gas station.

The purse, credit cards and all of the goods purchased were recovered, Capt. Eric Eller said. A 39-year-old Cadillac woman was jailed.

MANAGER ACCUSED OF GROPING A Traverse City American Military League manager is accused of groping women.

Franklin Bart Dallavalle faces felony charges after a Grand Traverse County Sheriff’s investigation into allegations he grabbed two women’s breasts and buttocks.

The 58-year-old was arrested Aug. 2. He faces three counts of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct.

The women, ages 28 and 31, were employees at the Garfield Township veterans’ club and Dallavalle was a manager. The allegations date back to 2013 and one of the women told investigators that when she asked for money owed to her this June, Dallavalle waved her into an office where he grabbed her breasts and tried to lift up her shirt, according to the charges.

TEENS KILLED IN CRASH Two 17-year-olds were killed when a car pulled in front of a semi near Fife Lake.

The crash occurred at the intersection of US131 and M-136 July 28 at 5:50pm.

Driver Haley Elizabeth Stevens of Kingsley and passenger Aubrey Elizabeth Fisher of Fife Lake were killed. The truck was driven by a 54-year-old Whittemore, Mich. man.

MABRLE SHOOTERS WANTED Police want to find whoever threw or slingshot white marbles at property around Suttons Bay and Cedar.

Leelanau County Sheriff’s deputies said the vandalism led to several damaged property complaints overnight on July 26.

The person or persons responsible targeted homes, businesses and vehicles.

Anyone with information should contact the sheriff’s department.

MAN KILLED IN MOTORCYCLE CRASH A Novi man was killed and an Ann Arbor woman was injured when their motorcycle crashed into a deer in Crawford County.

The crash happened on M-72 in Grayling Township Aug. 2 at 9:15pm, state police said. Both the 64-year-old driver and 44-year-old passenger were airlifted to Munson Medical Center in Traverse City. The driver died and the woman’s injuries were not considered life threatening.

Frontiers of Fashion As Americans’ fascination with guns grows, so, too, does the market for protection against all those flying bullets. Texan John Adrain has introduced an upscale sofa whose cushions can stop up to a .44 Magnum fired at close range, and is now at work on bullet-resistant window blinds. Another company, BulletSafe, recently touted its $129 baseball caps (with protection against the same bullets, but only in front) -- though the company admits the cap won’t prevent concussions. The Colombian suit and vest designer Miguel Caballero offers an array of bullet- and knife-resistant selections, made with Kevlar and Dyneema, which are also used by clothiers BladeRunner and Aspetto (maker of “ballistic tuxedos”).

Leading Economic Indicators Notorious French derivatives trader Jerome Kerviel was fired in 2010 after his employer (Societe Generale bank) discovered that he had made unauthorized trades worth about $55 billion and then, by forgery and fraud, covered them up. In June, however, Kerviel won a wrongful-discharge case when France’s Court of Cassation concluded the bank had “no real and serious” reason to fire him. Actually, the court ordered the bank to pay Kerviel about $500,000 in “performance” bonuses, based on the profit that his rogue trades eventually earned. Even though the bank had spent the equivalent of $5.5 billion unwinding Kerviel’s trades, they still made money (because, before the world economy collapsed in 2008, the derivatives business was very good).

Ronnie Music Jr., 45, won a scratch-off lottery prize last year of $3 million in Waycross, Georgia, and must surely have thought he was on a roll -- because he soon flipped the money into a Georgia methamphetamine gang. The “bet” went sour, and he now faces decades in prison, as he pleaded guilty in July to drug trafficking and firearms violations after his associates were found with $1 million worth of meth and a load of guns.

Government in Action Montpelier, Vermont, has one solution to America’s well-known problem of ignoring infrastructure maintenance (and the high cost of asphalt). While other cities and states merely delay needed road work (though with harsh consequences to drivers), Montpelier has begun to unpave some of its roads, converting them back to cheaper, annoying gravel and dirt (and inevitably, dust). A recent report by Montana State University researchers expressed surprise that so many governments are choosing this option.

Phoenix’s KTAR-TV reported in July that the local sheriff (the notorious “tough on crime” Joe Arpaio) has already cost the government $10.4 million in attorneys’ fees for successful lawsuits filed against him by illegally profiled Hispanics. A judge found months ago (awarding $4.5 million) that Arpaio was deliberately violating the court’s orders, and lawyers have demanded another $5.9 million to bring Arpaio’s resistances up to date. (Unless the court rules otherwise, the $5.9 million will ultimately come from taxpayers.)

Latest Religious Messages No Wonder ISIS Is So Steamed: Last year, 3 million Muslims made the sacred pilgrimage to Mecca for the hajj and another 5 million for the slightly less sacred umrah, but awaiting them in the Saudi holy city would hardly have been the reverence many imagined: massive modern buildings; housing construction with worksites brightly lit around the clock; glittery, multistory shopping malls featuring familiar

brands peddling opulence -- capped by highrise views of the city’s entire amusement-parklike setting from four- and five-star hotel rooms, where suites during hajj can go for $10,000 a night. (The malls, like the rest of Mecca, come to a standstill -- or kneel-still -- for prayers.)

A Fargo, North Dakota, fire official said in July his crew had responded at least twice to alarmed-citizen phone calls to go help a man obviously homeless, covered in a blanket on a park bench, who seemed not to be moving. The First Lutheran Church later explained that the “man” was just a statue -- their idea of Jesus as a homeless man -- and its Canadian designer said versions of the statue had been placed in several cities, including Toronto and Detroit.

Perspective Almost half of all produce raised by U.S. farmers is thrown out before it reaches a consumer’s plate, and though there are several contributing explanations, the most striking is American eaters’ “cult of perfection.” “It’s about blemish-free produce,” said one farmer, e.g., “sunburnt cauliflower” or table grapes not quite “wedge-shaped” enough. America’s “unyielding cosmetic standards,” according to a July report in The Guardian of London, even means that much of the annual $160 billion worth of imperfect food is simply left to rot on the vine, or sent directly to a landfill, because farmers anticipate retailers’ reluctance to stock it.

Wait, What?

(1) In July, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced plans to keep black-footed ferrets in northeastern Montana from dying out -- with drones that shoot peanut butter M&Ms (coated with a vaccine). Before the drones, there were too few ferrets to justify, economically, hand-delivering the candy. (2) A Japanese researcher (working out of the University of Illinois at Chicago) recently announced a health-improving computer app that would require men to ejaculate on their cellphones. (The researcher’s sophisticated microscope lens would be capable of transmitting a highly detailed photo, able to be examined in a lab, thus freeing shy men from having to visit a doctor’s office.)

Compelling Explanations Anyone’s Fault but Mine: Lawyer Andrew Schmuhl, 32, ordered to trial in Fairfax County, Virginia, in May, declared that he was not responsible in 2014 when he invaded the home of a man who had recently fired Schmuhl’s wife. Using a Taser, he had held the man and his wife hostage for three hours and ultimately slashed the man’s throat and stabbed the woman repeatedly. However, Schmuhl claimed he should be found not guilty because he was “involuntarily” intoxicated at the time -- cluelessly on pain medication that made him oblivious of his actions. (He was convicted.)

Unclear on the Concept: (1) The membership of the Westerly (Rhode Island) Yacht Club voted in June to retain the club’s men-only admission policy, which some members told a Providence Journal reporter was necessary to preserve the club’s “family atmosphere.” Apparently, according to the report, they feared being tempted at social events by having unmarried women around (as “full” female members, instead of the currently allowed “spousal” members). (2) The Chessington (England) World of Adventures theme park, after upgrading its authentic jungle experience, nonetheless had to post a noise restriction in July because some patrons apparently cannot resist the urge to do loud Tarzan impressions, which officials said “confuse” the monkeys.

Big Changes at the

T

By Patrick Sullivan

he overhaul of an agency that exists to stand between violence and vulnerable people who have nowhere else to turn has left some wondering what’s happening at the Women’s Resource Center in Traverse City.

Staff has turned over, and some former employees and supporters don’t like the direction the Women’s Resource Center Grand Traverse Area (WRC) has taken. They worry that cost-cutting and a business-like approach has come at the expense of the clients who depend on the non-profit, a critical safety net for women and children who face physical or sexual abuse.

The WRC’s executive director and its board president, however, say that difficult choices were necessary to save a flagging organization that had fallen into debt due to mismanagement.

RAISING CONCERN The nonprofit’s new streamlined direction has been bumpy.

The Northern Express talked to numerous former employees, representatives of organizations partnered with the nonprofit, and people who work in the criminal justice system who raised doubts about leadership of the WRC since a new executive director, Juliette Schultz, took over in 2013.

Most only would air their concerns off the record.

Bob Wheaton, spokesman for the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees domestic and sexual violence service providers, acknowledged there is worry about the direction of the agency.

“We are aware that some have raised concerns regarding the Women’s Resource Center-Grand Traverse Area and are working with leadership on improvements to make sure that individuals in the Traverse City area who have suffered due to abuse receive the services they need and deserve,” Wheaton said in an email.

One of the fundamental roles the WRC fulfills has not faltered since Schultz took over, said 86th District Court Judge Thomas J. Phillips.

Phillips said that without the agency, it would be impossible to run the domestic violence court, a program that seeks to stem the domestic violence cycle by ensuring swift prosecution of mis-demeanor cases.

“From my point of view, they are providing the court with the services we need,” Phillips said. “It’s very important the Women’s Resource Center stays viable for the community and for the court.”

Phillips said the agency always has been responsive to the needs of the court, whether under Schultz or its former executive director, Jo Bullis.

DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS A clue to understanding the concerns regarding the direction of the WRC exists in the

Schultz said everyone in the domestic violence prevention community has been losing BIG, BIG CHANGES grant funding over the past several years.

Schultz said that when she took over, she “When I walked in the door, one of our needed to make some changes in order to enmajor grant funders cut a whole position, and sure the nonprofit’s future. they did that arbitrarily across the board with The WRC’s mission was narrowed.

2012, seven percent in 2013, 17 percent in 2014, and 20 percent last year, Schultz said.

The WRC’s average turnover rate is on par with other nonprofits, according to the 2015 survey of Nonprofit Employment Practices Survey Results.

“This is not what we would consider escalating turnover,” Schultz said. “It is very standard as compared to other nonprofits.”

Nevertheless, Schultz’s critics worry the increasing rate is a sign of trouble at the agency.

They point to another sign of scaled-back service at the WRC, which was established in 1975 as a regional organization that would serve Leelanau, Benzie, Grand Traverse, and Kalkaska coun-ties, and part of Antrim County.

Under Schultz, services offered outside of Traverse City have been reduced — from four days per week in Kalkaska and Benzie to one day per week, according to several people familiar with the his-tory of the agency.

Schultz said she wants to find a way to add staffing time in Kalkaska.

A women’s shelter in Benzie County closed two years ago, Schultz said, because problems with the building were deemed too expensive to fix.

Babb said women in trouble in Benzie County can come to Traverse City, where there is room available at the shelter.

“We definitely have a need for services [in Benzie County] — it was just the finances.

Looking at the finances and what else is going on, it’s always a weighing,” Babb said.

HISTORICAL MEMORY LOST Marjorie Rich was one of the employees who left after Schultz took over. Rich said she is alarmed at the high rate of turnover at the agency because that affects how well the WRC can pursue its mission.

“If you look at staff turnover, it has just about entirely turned over in the last three years for the internal staff,” Rich said. “It’s really concerning. There’s very little sort of historical memory. There’s very little continuity.”

Rich ran the doula program, which offers assistance to young mothers. Board members wanted to transfer the program to another agency because they didn’t believe it fell within the WRC’s mission. Rich left soon after the program transfer was announced last October.

“Why they wanted to get rid of it, I don’t know,” she said. Teenage girls who get pregnant are frequently victims of physical or sexual abuse, so Rich thought it fit well with the WRC’s mission — though she said she can understand how it also could fit elsewhere.

Soffredine said he doesn’t believe the doula program belongs at the WRC. He said they only took it on when no one else would.

Schultz said they’ve received a Rotary grant to hire a consultant to plan for moving the program elsewhere.

“We were awarded the planning grant, so we can move forward now with a consultant, and we’re getting estimates from three different consultants to help us facilitate those discussions,” Schultz said.

Jessica Wheaton, who joined the board in 2013, agrees that the agency needs to sharpen its focus.

“It was really evident that we had our hands in a lot of buckets that weren’t 100 percent aligned with what the mission was,” Wheaton said.

For example, she said the nonprofit ran another program to help women do their laundry.

“That’s not domestic violence-related programing — [it was a] great program — and we were able to transition that off,” she said.

PARTNERSHIP WITH THE POLICE In June, the WRC launched an expanded program to work with domestic violence victims alongside Traverse City Police officers.

The rollout of that, dubbed Advocacy Informed Response, hit some snags.

In the first month, whenever an officer would call for an advocate, no one answered the phone, and there was no voicemail set up, Chief Jeff O’Brien said. He said there also was some confusion about whether the WRC had agreed to send advocates to meet personally with victims.

Indeed, a WRC description of the program describes “in-person” crisis intervention, but Schultz said that was an error, and the agency intended to offer services to victims over the phone.

“The chief called me directly and said, ‘I want you to know that this is happening,’ and we’re actually in the process of resolving that,” Schultz said. “I can tell you that it’s a process that we need to improve immediately, and this is part of our goal of providing additional services to victims in our community.”

O’Brien said he hopes the program someday expands to include in-person responses, and he said he is confident that the problems will be worked out.

“I’ve talked to Juliette, and I feel confident that she’s going to remedy that,” O’Brien said. “I really want it to be successful. I think its really going to help domestic violence victims, especially indigent domestic-violence victims.”

WHAT’S BEST FOR THE CLIENTS? Some former employees question whether the changes that have taken place really have been intended to better serve the WRC’s clients.

Kristin Rockwood, a Traverse City businesswoman and former WRC volunteer and employee, said she was stifled by the current management style at the agency. She didn’t think the leadership allowed staff to focus as much as they could on helping clients find employment.

“One area I found frustrating while volunteering and working for my short time, was the lack of clients connecting with community companies for employment opportunities,” Rockwood said.

Rockwood left WRC and started her own business, Press On Juice, in part as a way to empower women.

“After about six weeks [at the WRC], I realized that the management style of the Women Resource Center did not allow me to excel and contribute 100 percent,” she said. “I know that jobs are important to the success of women thriving. I decided I would build a business that would be a safe place for women to work.”

Shana Wojtowicz was a client advocate at WRC from 2011 through 2015 and saw the transition from one executive director to another.

Wojtowicz said she earned a masters degree through the University Center in counseling and wound up at the WRC as an intern.

She hadn’t planned on going into domestic violence counseling, but she found the field so rewarding that she stayed.

“I didn’t realize there were so many people in need of their basic needs being met and how much the agency was dealing with that,” she said. “Jo [Bullis] was just a magician in terms of working with other agencies and making sure that we had what we needed to deal with a client.”

She said the loss of Bullis left almost impossible shoes to fill.

She said the changes that took place under Schultz’s management caused some good employees to get fired and some to leave on their own. When client advocates left, she said, they were typically replaced with someone with far less experience.

Wojtowicz left for personal reasons, but she said she is worried about the number of people she knows who quit or were forced out after Schultz took over.

“When Jo left, it was a big hole, basically, that needed to be filled, and it kind of just felt like that hole kept hitting bigger and bigger and bigger,” Wojtowicz said.

AN IMPORTANT CULTURAL CHANGE However the WRC is managed, almost everyone agrees its mission is critical for the community.

It’s easy to forget, O’Brien said, that not long ago, before there were agencies like WRC around the country, domestic abuse was much more rampant, and our culture almost accepted it. O’Brien recalls how bad it was when he started out as a reserve officer in the 1980s.

“I would go with the older officers to domestics, and the level of violence was just horrific — women with teeth missing and bloody noses and black eyes, and it was continually a revolving door,” O’Brien said.

Back then, the police didn’t consider it their problem, and they largely let it go, he said.

Women’s resource centers were the agents of a cultural change across the country that shifted attitudes about domestic abuse.

“Because of the Women’s Resource Center, that whole philosophy has changed,” he said.

YEARBOOK MEMORIES

By Kristi Kates

Pretty much everybody has some unforgettable yearbook photos. The question is, are you brave enough to share them? Thankfully for the Express, some well-known locals certainly are. In honor of the new school year, we’re taking roll call on some of the region’s best and brightest for a glimpse of who they were way back when, and how it might have shaped the people they are today.

Mary Stewart Adams

Liz Ahrens

Seventh grade (1976), Muir Junior High School in Milford, Mich.

12th grade (1980), Troy Athens High School in Troy, Mich.

Activities: An underachiever, Adams was not: “At the time, I was a cheerleader, I belonged to the junior high school choir, I ran high hurdles on the track team, and I was secretary of the student council,” Adams said.

“And in this photo, I’m wearing a star necklace!”

Activities: Ahrens’ skills for leadership and organizing were evi-dent early on: “I was on the tennis team and was also treasurer for my sen-ior class,” she said.

Dark Sky Park Director Harbor Springs

School Memories: This photo reminded Adams of a time she got in big trouble passing notes to a boy she liked. “My history teacher made him read them aloud — to the whole class!”

President Crooked Tree Arts Center Petoskey

School Memories: Ahrens might have gotten a little more attention than she wanted for her driving.

“I got the ‘AJ Foyt’ award at our senior mock awards for my driving skills,” she said. “I was the first girl in my sophomore class to get my driver’s license, and my very first day of driving to school I had a collision in the driveway into the school parking lot. My green Nova and a big yellow school bus met head-on in front of hundreds of witnesses!”

12 • august 8, 2016 • Northern Express Weekly

Beth Eckerle

Emmet County Communications and Web Development Director Petoskey 12th grade (1991), Grand Haven High School in Grand Haven, Mich.

Activities: “I was obsessed with playing soccer since I was in first grade,” Eckerle said. “So soccer was my main sport, and I was a cheerlead-er, too. And I’ve always loved writing and reading, so I was also editor of the junior and senior high papers.”

School Memories: On the soccer team, Eckerle’s nickname was Hollywood, she said, “Because I had a way of kicking the ball with both feet in the air that looked really fancy. I was also voted class clown my senior year.”

Erin Ernst

Jeff Haas

Ninth grade (1996), Escanaba High School in Escanaba, Mich.

Sixth grade (1961), Schulze Elementary School in Detroit, Mich.

Activities: Ernst belonged to several different groups in school, but ski team wasn’t one of them.

“I was in band — I played the French horn — and was also in choir and track,” she said.

Activities: Even back then, Haas said he was “already a music geek.”

“I played clarinet in the school band and sang second soprano in the school choir, but my passion was taking piano lessons from my dad,” he said.

Director of Communications Boyne Resorts

School Memories: Attaining a high level in karate by her freshman year of high school one of Ernst’s biggest youth achievements. “I became only the third 15 year old in Michigan to achieve a black belt, and I was the only girl,” Ernst said.

Jazz Musician and Composer Traverse City

School Memories: “When my family moved to West Berlin for my dad’s work, we arrived just months after the Berlin Wall went up and lived there three years, with me attending a German/ American school. It was a rockin’ and sometimes tense experience living behind the iron curtain in my early teens.”

Ken Hayward

Paul LaPorte,

Chris Ludwa

Sam Porter

Carlin Smith

11th grade (1980), Waterford Township High School in Waterford, Mich.

12th grade (1962), Tawas Area High School in Tawas, Mich.

Ninth grade (1993), Miami University in Oxford, Ohio

First grade, Rapid City Elementary School in Rapid City, Mich.

Fourth grade (1973), Jefferson Elementary School in Frankfort, Ind.

Activities: From playing sports to the overseeing the world’s larg-est porch, Hayward’s been focused since his school days. “I was a basketball player — three years on varsity, all-state senior year,” he said. “And also a baseball player.

I went on to play baseball at the University of Michigan.”

Activities: LaPorte was already on the road to cultural experiences in school, having played string bass in both the jazz and concert bands.

He also was a member of his school’s marching band. “And in addition to being class president, I was also in the National Honor Society and Key Club,” he said.

Activities: Ludwa’s road to his current job was pretty clear, even at the age of 18. “I was involved with music, drama, and the variety show throughout school,” he said.

Activities: To anyone who knows him, it seems like Smith’s always been community-minded, and his youthful activities were no different. “I was in Little League, 4-H, and Cub Scouts,” he said.

School Memories: “Our high school mascot was the Skippers, which was something that was made fun of a lot,” Hayward said.

School Memories: “My nickname in school was one my father gave me: Poody,” he said. Why Poody?

“I really don’t know! I’ve often wondered the same thing. Heck, with nine kids, I was happy when he called me by any re-al name, whether it was the actual one or a nickname!”

Activities: Porter tried all the usual school sports early on but fell in love with beach volleyball. “I went to two UCLA camps to tryout for college teams,” he said. “Other than that, I’d go out for breakfast every Friday at 6am throughout school with my best friends. And I had boundless energy, so not much has changed!”

RUNWAY REPORT: Top Picks for Fall 2016

SHOULDER IT Reminiscent of the shoulder pads of the late ’80s and early ’90s (think Melanie Griffith in Working Girl), today’s more dramatic versions of power wear showcase shoulder reconstructions that look like geometric sculptures, extending outward from each shoulder with a small mountain’s worth of fabric. Phoebe Philo translated the trend for Céline in both a long mustard-green kneelength coat with man-sized shoulders, and a similarly boyish suit in a slightly luminous wine color, but be ready for more: Stuffed shoulders were ubiquitous in nearly every designer’s collection.

IN THE NAVY Army fatigues, in the form of slim-shaped pocket pants, jackets, and even bedazzled Tshirts, have been part of many collections for the past several seasons, but designers seem to have grown weary of camouflage green and are instead looking to the Army’s seafaring fellows, the Navy, for crisp lines and dark shades of blue. You’ll find front-buttoned sailor pants, double-breasted jackets, rope trim, and even (unearned) naval stripes surfacing on some pieces. Tommy Hilfiger

Whether your fall involves plucking apples, buying boots, or strutting your stuff at your local cider house, you’ll need some great new autumn wear for the brand new season. So here are some just ripe for the picking: this fall’s top trends, right from the runway.

managed to combine several of these trends into one must-have fall coat.

LUXE APPROACH Glamour and glitz also were seen on the runways for this fall and winter, but in more luxurious textures than years past — namely, lush velvet and thick, often embroidered brocade, primarily in darker shades with tone-on-tone patterns and accents. Newbie designers Brock Collection brought out even more depth in the brocade trend with their sweeping gold skirt, while the other side of luxury wear brought to the forefront stacks of velvet. That trend inspired elegant restraint from many designers, including Valentino, who turned the fabric modern with his velvet cropped pant, a runway hit.

STACK ’EM UP If one layer of skirt is good, then wouldn’t it stand to reason that several layers are even better? Multi-layered, tiered skirts are definitely set to be a fall essential, with Hollywood actresses like Michelle Monaghan already jumping on the tiered bandwagon with a dramatic black version from Canadian designer Erdem Moralıoğlu. Design house No. 21 showed a

more subdued take on the trend with a green skirt cast in a color somewhere between cactus dust and mint, while Gucci executed it in a pale denim blue with a contrasting schoolgirl neck bow in red.

1. Céline’s shoulder-heavy suit jacket brings back the office power-wear of late ’80s movies like Working Girl or TV shows like Dynasty.

GETTING WILD For many fashionistas, animal prints never really go out entirely, but the runways were virtually covered in leopard this season, as everyone from Dolce and Gabbana to Sonia Rykiel included the bold print in their collections. Alexander McQueen got especially wild with the trend, pairing a jungle-patterned dress and street-tough wedge booties with an oversized pocketless blazer in leopard.

3. Tone-on-tone patterns are a hallmark of brocade, executed beautifully by Brock Collection on this gold skirt.

BOY POWER And guys, designers haven’t forgotten about you. The biggest news from your side of the runway is the loosening up of men’s style all around; suits and blazers become more and more deconstructed, going along with the trend of more casual workplaces. We’re not saying ties are an endangered accessory — yet — but the ingredients for your fall 2016 look are mixed throughout the runway collections of Steven Alan, Michael Kors, and

7. Alexander McQueen took the leopard trend to the max for this fall, mixing it with more vivid and bold patterns.

2. On the lookout for the naval trend? Tommy Hilfiger buttons up its elements in this fall coat.

4. Luxury expert Valentino put a modern twist on velvet with a chic cropped pant.

5. Hollywood is picking up on the stacked and tiered skirt trend already, as seen here on actress Michelle Monaghan at the Pixels movie premiere. Skirt is by Erdem.

6. If Monaghan’s version of the stacked skirt is too dramatic for your taste, try No. 21’s design, which reduces the tiers and suffuses the color to a dusty mint green.

8. Menswear gets even more casual with loosely fitted suits, mismatched pieces, and less formal footwear.

Orly: an untucked shirt, loose blazer, slim but casual trouser or skater pant, and shoes equally ready for an urban walkabout or lunchtime hike. In addition to earth tones — most notably, a flat orange clay tone — denim dominates this season with light washes and matched pieces.

Make an unforgettable statement with your gown by switching on its embedded strands of glowing light.

GET SMART! With New Fashion Connected to the Tech World

By Kristi Kates At first glance, the term smart clothing might drum up visions of your clothing assembling itself onto your body, transporting itself to the washing machine, or voluntarily lying across the iron until all wrinkles have disappeared. Those skills would be welcome in our daily garments, but what we’ve actually got going on is pretty fascinating in its own right — much of it even more futuristic than what we might have anticipated 10 or 15 years ago. Here’s a look at several of the newest trends in smart clothing, from the practical to the fanciful:

MOOD WEAR Another approach to mood-modified clothing: Neurocouture, which recently fitted its runway show models with electroencephalogram (EEG) headbands measuring their brain waves.

The models’ cape-like tops served as a kind of screen on which the patterns on the garment either responded to the models’ changing emotions as read by the EEG, or transferred those readings to a projector that would then choose and project onto the capes GIFs that matched the wearer’s state of mind. The designers say that this type of wearable digital clothing “cements the relationship between fashion and self expression.”

NATIONAL WRITERS SERIES:

Big Season Ahead

By Clark Miller The National Writers Series — the Grand Traverse region’s window on the world of current literature — has announced a new season full of conversations with some of today’s best known and most thought-provoking novelists and nonfiction writers.

All NWS events begin at 7 pm and, unless otherwise noted, take place at City Opera House in Traverse City.

GRANDMOTHERS WHO MAKE IT HAPPEN On Sept. 17 at Northwestern Michigan College’s Milliken Auditorium, legendary photojournalist Paola Gianturco will discuss her book, Grandmother Power: A Global Phenomenon. The book praises grandmas around the world who have done their part to protect native cultures, the environment, human rights and education.

Grandmother Power won the 2012 Book of Year award for Women’s Studies by Traverse City-based ForeWord Reviews, and the 2013 International Book Award for Multicultural Nonfiction. It was About.com’s 2013 Readers’ Choice Award in the category of Favorite Grandparenting Book. The event will run in conjunction with Gianturco’s photo exhibit, which will be showcased at NMC’s Dennos Museum, next door to the Milliken.

DETROIT: BEFORE THE FALL On Oct. 7, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter David Maraniss presents his Once in a Great City, an affectionate and often surprising portrait of his hometown, Detroit, at what he considers its zenith year, 1963.

Maraniss portrays Detroit’s progress in civil rights and the labor movement as well as in cultural contributions like Berry Gordy Jr.’s

Motown Sound — all of which preceded the city’s economic and cultural malaise that followed.

Maraniss is the author of six critically acclaimed books, including treatments of President Barack Obama and a study of Vietnam. He is the recipient of the 2004 J. Anthony Lukas Book Prize.

Michigan sports writer John Bacon, who during last season’s NWS series presented his book, Endzone, about the ups and downs of Michigan football, will interview Maraniss.

LEGENDARY AUTHORS This year NWS will reach a milestone: its 100th interview. To celebrate, it has pulled off a literary coup by signing three legendary authors to appear. Margaret Atwood, Ann Patchett and Jodi Picoult will talk about their work and lives on Oct. 20, 22, and 23, respectively.

Longtime fans are pumped.

“I couldn’t be more excited,” said Becky Ewing of Traverse City. “To bring writers of this caliber to our region is stunning. You feel you’re in someone’s living room, having a conversation about a book you love. It’s one of the premier cultural opportunities in this area.”

16 • august 8, 2016 • Northern Express Weekly

MARGARET ATWOOD Over her long career, poet, novelist, essayist and environmental activist Margaret Atwood has often focused on the societal restraints imposed upon on women. Her work includes The Handmaid’s Tale (winner of the Arthur C. Clarke and Governor General’s Award and a finalist for the 1986 Booker Prize) and the highly acclaimed Cat’s Eye. She is expected to discuss her most recent book, Hag-Seed, a retelling of Shakespeare’s The Tempest.

Atwood, whose awards include the the Los Angeles Times Innovator’s Award, is known for her dry wit and no-holds-barred commentary on the world’s follies.

ANN PATCHETT New York Times bestselling author Ann Patchett has long been on the list of writers NWS fans have asked to see. The author of seven novels, including Bel Canto and her latest book, Commonwealth, she also has written nonfiction, including Truth & Beauty, What Now? (which expands on a graduation address she gave at Sarah Lawrence College), and a collection of essays, This is the Story of a Happy Marriage.

Named in 2012 by Time magazine as

one of the 100 Most Influential People on the Planet, Patchett is also a champion of independent book sellers and owns her own bookstore in Nashville, Tenn. She is a former classmate of local writer and NWS cofounder Doug Stanton. Both attended the Iowa Writer’s Workshop.

Her Oct. 22 appearance will be at Lars Hockstad Auditorium at Central Grade School.

JODI PICOULT Her Oct. 23 marks the second NWS appearance by bestselling novelist Jodi Picoult.

The author of 23 novels, nine of which were No. 1 New York Times bestsellers and five of which have been the basis of major films, Picoult’s newest book, small great things, addresses the ways that individual acts can perpetuate or help dismantle racism. It is a book that asks when and in what manner we can address race — and what happens when we don’t bother.

KYLE MILLS: ESPIONAGE THRILLER The death of espionage writer Vince Flynn last year left his devotees yearning for someone to continue the popular Mitch Rapp spy novels. Kyle Mills, an established

master of thrillers, answered their call to extend Flynn’s popular series with Survivor and now with Order to Kill. Fans attending the Nov. 4 event can learn how, in Mills’ hands, the hard-hitting, very special operative Mitch Rapp puts his lethal skills and boundless sense of duty in defense of America.

RACE, REDEMPTION, THEN OPERA The 2016 half of the new NWS season ends Dec. 5 with a NWS Community Reads appearance by David Bergner, author of Sing For Your Life: A Story of Race, Music, and Family, a profile of race, imprisonment and redemption. The book is based on Bergner’s 2011 New York Times article on Ryan Speedo Green, who grew up in a crime-infested world and, at the age of 12, was sentenced to solitary confinement after threatening his family members — then ultimately became an opera star. Green, a bass-baritone, is scheduled to perform later this year with the Metropolitan Opera in Giacomo Puccini’s La Bohème.

Bergner’s appearance is part of the NWS Community Reads program, an effort to get schools, book clubs and the public at large to

read and discuss an important book. Sing For Your Life: A Story of Race, Music, and Family is scheduled to be available in local bookstores and in Kindle format this September.

“Choosing this book for NWS Community Reads helps readers here focus on two related and very timely topics — privilege and race,” said NWS Executive Director Anne Stanton.

In explaining his journey, Ryan Speedo Green asked: “The desire to better myself, to be above what was around me, what better art form to do that in than opera?”

Bergner has published five books of nonfiction. In the Land of Magic Soldiers, his study of atrocities — and redemptive acts — in Sierra Leone, won the Los Angeles Best Book of the Year award. His work often appears in the New York Times Magazine, New York Review of Books, The Atlantic and Mother Jones.

Westwind Promise:

“BUILD MOMENTUM”

Founder and President Greg Olesczcuk, wife Jeanine Taghon-Oleszczuk, daughter-in-law Alicia, grand-daughter Alivia and son and VP Peter

Westwind Construction, a well-established Spring Lake-headquartered construction company with 40 years of experience and an extensive portfolio of successful projects across the country, has set its sights on returning to the Grand Traverse area.

The goal is based on personal and business reasons.

“Obviously, it’s an area that’s growing,” company Founder and President Greg Oleszczuk said. “And it’s expanding in a lot of sectors, including multi-family developments, which are in demand.”

“We provide a one-stop service for our clients,” said Peter Taghon-Oleszczuk, Greg’s son and vice president of operations for the company. “We work closely with architects and engineers, so there’s a high level of value we bring as a single source. We manage it all.”

This type of comprehensive project management has helped Westwind develop a broad reach.

The company has done extensive work not only in Michigan but also in Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio and as far south as Georgia. It is a multi-faceted, design-build company that is capable of taking on a broad range of work — everything from industrial, residential and multi-family dwellings to commercial projects and renovations of existing buildings.

“If you have a design or construction need, we can do it,” Greg said. wide Tim spectrum AllSuch photosacourtesy Roman of offerings is possible, he explained, because the company

is organized into divisions that concentrate on specific types of building projects. “A lot of folks believe construction is construction — in other words, if you can build a residential project, you can take on industrial work. But the processes and expertise needed in these various types of construction are different.”

Westwind Construction already has a track record in northern Michigan. Westwind is currently overseeing two major

Greg met his wife, Jeanine TaghonOleszczuk, in Northport 30 years ago.

“I was living in Traverse City and working for what was then Empire National Bank and just happened to be at the Northport branch that day,” Jeanine said. “Greg came to town to do some boating. He needed gas money. The rest is history.”

Jeanine was born in Traverse City, raised in Empire with her six siblings, and graduated from Glen Lake High School. Her

Westwind is overseeing two major housing projects in the Grand Traverse area: Ridge 45, a 232-unit apartment community, and Trailside 45, a 74-unit apartment building. housing projects in the Grand Traverse area. One is Ridge 45, a 232-unit apartment community on LaFranier Road between Hammond and Airport roads; the other is Trailside 45, a 74-unit apartment building on Garfield Avenue.

For Greg and his family — all of whom are involved in the business — growing Westwind’s presence here is a homecoming.

“We’re eager to fulfill construction needs for an area we love.”

That love is based on personal experience.

parents, Fred and Reva Taghon, ran a filling station in Empire, a business that remained in the family for nearly 100 years.

“It was where the current gas station is. Mom was the bookkeeper. I always say that they raised seven kids on Standard Oil,” Jeanine said. “My dad was fire chief, and my brother Dave was mayor. Half of my siblings started local businesses and still live in the area.”

Greg and Jeanine have passed on their love of northern Michigan to their two children (and now their grandchildren) by

spending vacations at a family cottage on Drummond Island and in Empire with family and friends.

The values they learned as kids guide Greg and Jeanine as owners of a company with long-term employees.

Westwind Construction has succeeded, she said, because Greg emphasizes quality, stands behind his work and treats employees with respect — all values he learned from his master craftsman father growing up in Grand Rapids.

Construction is a tough business, she said.

“It can be a roller coaster,” she said “We’ve seen many companies fall off the map when times get tough. He has never laid a person off in a downtime. How many companies can say that?”

“I couldn’t be prouder of Greg,” she said.

“A handshake meant something to our parents. And that’s who my husband, son and daughter, Reva, are too.”

“I married a very good man,” she added.

Jeanine and daughter, Reva TaghonOleszczuk, serve as sounding boards on major company decisions.

“I started working for Westwind when I was 13,” Reva said. “All the people who work there feel like family.”

“We want people here to know we are well established and that we care deeply about this beautiful region,” Jeanine said. “I believe that if you want the best, you hire Westwind. It’s good to be back home.”

An Ally for Special Ed Families

Those trying to navigate the ins and outs of special education have an ally: Nicole Miller and the Michigan Alliance for Families (MAF). The statewide network offers expertise and fellowship, both of which are crucial for parents of children with disabilities. The MAF provides information, support, and education for families who have children who receive (or may be eligible to receive) special education services from birth through 26 years of age.

Miller is one of 20 parent advocates in Michigan. “I assist all those in need of special education services,” she said. They come to her from a variety of sources: workshops, events, open houses at schools, queries through the website (MichiganAllianceForFamilies.org), and more.

Miller is based in Kingsley, and her service area includes Grand Traverse, Antrim, Benzie, Kalkaska, Leelanau, Manistee, Missaukee, and Wexford counties. Depending on where the student lives, they may go to school nearby but travel elsewhere for additional services. “What is accessible for you?” she said. “Do you travel to Cadillac? Do you go to Traverse City or Ludington? If you’re in Antrim, do you go to Charlevoix?”

Within her territory are three intermediate school districts, government agencies that assist local school districts in providing programs and services. “The ISDs are pretty much the same,” she said, but the differences among the individual school districts the support can be striking.

Take the region’s largest school district, Traverse City Area Public Schools. By virtue of its geographic spread, TCAPS serves many students with disabilities and consequently offers a host of programs for them.

But smaller district, which have fewer numbers of students, might not have the same resources, so it is often up to parents to advocate for their children.

That is where Miller can come in. She helps parents determine what their child needs and how to get it. “Inclusion is a very

20 • august 8, 2016 • Northern Express Weekly

common concern,” she said. Another is behavioral needs, trying to determine what the student’s behavior is trying to communicate.

A third is disability-specific support — for example, children with autism have different needs than those with a visual impairment.

Preparing students with disabilities for post-school activities is challenging for all those concerned: the school, the student, and family members. Federal law requires special education services be available

Every MAF employee has a family member with disabilities and has first-hand experience navigating the special education system. through age 21. In Michigan, special education services can extend through age 26.

Regardless of when it takes place, such a major change brings with it special challenges and trepidation. “Transition is very difficult, very challenging,” said Miller. “Every family has its culture and value system, and so does the community. It’s an opportunity to talk about lifelong planning — employment, housing, benefits, relationships.”

Sometimes that lattermost area is the most difficult for parents to discuss. Parents might not have thought about long-term changes as their child becomes a young adult. Miller said it is typically difficult for parents to realize their child might want to have an intimate relationship with another person.

Most general education students begin the process of separating from parents as

teens — the typical teen rebellion. “In dealing [with kids with disabilities] that’s a harder process. We inadvertently teach [a student with disabilities] to be a good, compliant learner. Then adulthood comes,” Miller said.

When educational services end, it can be a shock. Miller said what is needed is what she calls the artful unwrapping of the intensive services that have cocooned the student.

“We have to have intelligent discussion and planning around their needs so they can reach their fullest potential. They are community members,” she said. Otherwise? “It’s like falling off a cliff.”

Ultimately, the goal of MAF is to increase the involvement of families in their children’s education. It is something all staff members are familiar with; every MAF employee has a family member with disabilities and has first-hand experience navigating the special education system.

That includes Miller, who has a child with a disability and a keen understanding of the value of a parent advocate. MAF members believe a parent’s input into his or her child’s education is critical, as the parent knows how he or she learns, what is easy and what is hard. Perhaps most importantly, the parent helps the school understand the child.

The MAF website offers resources and information on nearly 200 topic areas.

While the content is rich and deep, Miller warns that not everything applies in every situation. “Northern Michigan may not look the same as southeastern Michigan,” Miller said. She hosts a number of workshops and is comfortable talking to parents about the challenges they are facing. “Where do they live and which [school] district? We can discuss the local resources, what is accessible.”

Miller said serving as a parent advocate is more than just a job. “For me, it’s about helping the community grow and expand, a place where every child with a disability is accepted. I hope I’m passing the torch to the next generation.”

“Wait, what? That’s

NOT COOL.”

HER BEST SHOT

by Interlochen Center for the Arts. of singer and four-time Gram-

my Award winner Pat Benetar isn’t your classic rags-to-rock-n-roll legend.

Benetar’s interest in music started in Lindenhurst, Long Island, N.Y., where she pursued musical theater and trained as an accomplished soprano. Benetar had plans to attend The Juilliard School, but by the end of high school, she’d decided a classical music career wasn’t in her cards.

So in 1971, she’d moved into New York City and got a job as a singing waitress. She also started performing at open mic shows and in off-Broadway plays, slowly homing in on the spandex-clad stage persona that would become her signature look in the ’80s.

LADDER OF ROCK By 1979, she’d met guitarist and producer Neil Giraldo in a small rehearsal room at SIR Studios in New York City; their connection was an instant one. Giraldo would become both Benetar’s long-time collaborator and her husband.

From the time of their pairing, the two built an impressive ladder of pop-rock hits for the singer: “Love is a Battlefield,” “Heartbreaker,” “Shadows of the Night,” “Hit Me With Your Best Shot,” and “We Belong.”

She was also the first female to appear on MTV — in the music video for her hit single, “You Better Run” — and would become one of the heaviest-played artists during the channel’s first decade.

NEVER FADE AWAY Even as the sounds of the ’80s faded, Benetar continued to release and perform music, always with Giraldo by her side.

Along the way, she tackled a few musical experiments — her 1991 jump-blues record, True Love, on which Rhode Island blues revival band Roomful of Blues served as her backing band for the up-tempo tracks; and her often overlooked 1997 album, Innamorata, which put her voice front and center against a backdrop of acoustic guitars and carefully-arranged strings.

Her most recent album is 2003’s Go, a contemporary, guitar-driven set that showed off Giraldo’s guitar skills.

DIVA POWER In recent years, Benetar primarily has focused on touring, sometimes on her own and sometimes with musical pals from the same era (Blondie, Rick Springfield, Cheap Trick), as well as writing and publishing her memoir, Between a Rock and a Hard Place, which chronicles her life to date and her experiences in the music industry.

Benetar and Giraldo — who call each other Patricia and Spyder — are selective with interviews, but they told Rolling Stone Magazine late last year that they consider themselves a rock ’n’ roll Johnny and June (a reference to Johnny Cash and his wife, June Carter Cash) in that their bond is as unbreakable as their drive to make music.

Appropriately, their setlist often includes a crowd-wowing mash-up of Cash’s “Ring of Fire” with Benetar’s own “Heartbreaker.” Pair that up with the rest of Benetar’s long roster of hits, and their upcoming show here in northern Michigan is sure to be a hit from this legendary rock diva.

Pat Benetar will be in concert at Interlochen Center for the Arts’ Kresge Auditorium on August 9 at 8pm. Also appearing will be Neil Giraldo and opening act Melissa Etheridge.

Pat Benetar’s Musical Legacy

Farmfest and Hoxeyville Two More for the Musical Road

By Kristi Kates Got time for a little more music? August offers up two major music festivals here in northern Michigan, so you’d best get out there while you still can. Whether you choose Farmfest’s countryside cool or Hoxeyville’s forest festivities, you’ll find plenty of great performances and fun amenities.

Farmfest

August 11–14 Stacy Jo’s Farm, 1865 Roby Rd., Johannesburg Chill, earthy, friendly, and actually set on a real 110-year-old homestead farm site, Farmfest has been called both a “magical moo-sical happening” and a “musician’s playground” — nods to both the festival’s farmland origins and to the fact that so many of the performers on the schedule often end up collaborating and jamming with each other.

The fest’s main stage, acoustically and visually striking, is at the bottom of a natural amphitheater and was constructed of recycled wood from the barn that once stood on the property. Other on-site venues include the second stage (home to the fest’s wildly popular open mic show), the dance pavilion, the fire circle, drum kiva, and parking lot, where the legendary Parkin’ Lot Pickin’ jams take place.

The rest of the festival site is quite an experience as well. Vendor booths sit tucked beneath the boughs of pine trees, while the Feedbag Cafe and Pub offers food and drinks in a rustic ambiance, all of it feeling like you’ve both stepped back in time to the ’60s and arrived a lot farther out in the country than Farmfest’s actual location, which is just east of the town of Johannesburg, south of Gaylord.

For the 2016 fest, the lineup features many of the folk-spirited acts for which Farmfest has become known.

Local/regional acts include Grayling guitar and loop pedal performer Adam Hoppe and duo A Brighter Bloom; Traverse City Band The Brothers Crunch; and Gaylord’s hit dance group The Cookies.

Imported performers include those from nearby Grand Rapids (acoustic-Americana act the Barbarossa Brothers and Irish-gypsy-punk act The Waxies); Kalamazoo (world music singer Carolyn Koebel and twang-rock band The Go Rounds); and Detroit (hip-hop group Feral Ground and blues musician John Latini.)

Other highlights on this year’s lineup include bluegrass/fusion singer Mo Zowayed from Bahrain and festival favorite Seth Bernard.

On-site rustic camping is available if you don’t want to miss a minute — or if you simply want to make sure you’re around for the morning yoga sessions and breakfast granola.

Tickets and more information: farm-fest.com

Hoxeyville

August 19–21 Manistee National Forest, Wellston, ¼ mile west of the intersection of M-37 and Hoxeyville Road Whether you listen from a prime spot directly in front of one of the two stages or from a distance while resting your dancing feet in a public hammock, Hoxeyville is sure to treat your ears with its carefully selected lineup of national touring artists paired with standout Michigan talent.

Hoxeyville’s headliners this year are a quintuple threat: big-time Michigan-founded Americana bluegrass act Greensky Bluegrass (performing two shows); New Jersey roots and jam band Railroad Earth; transcendental Colorado folk outfit Elephant Revival; North Carolina folk duo Mandolin Orange; and Traverse City singer-turnedTV star Joshua Davis.

The secondary stages and support acts are also poised to draw plenty of fans, from the new-Americana sounds of former Traverse City artist recently transplanted to Nashville, guitarist Billy Strings; Cadillac native, now New Orleans guitarist Luke Winslow King; the triple-vocal threat of Sweetwater Warblers, featuring May Erlewine, Lindsay Lou, and Rachael Davis (Lou’s other outfit, The Flatbellys, also will perform); Grand Rapids indie-folk band The Crane Wives; and progressive act Whistle Stop Revue.

If you need a break from the concert scene, you can step out into the wooded regions surrounding the festival grounds to mountain bike, paddle, fish or hike. Kestelwoods campground, party store, and restaurant are nearby for your convenience.

But chances are, near the stages is where you’ll really want to be most of the time.

With attendance limited to 3,000, Hoxeyville sports a close-knit crowd of real jamband fans who make for an enthusiastic and appreciative audience.

On-site camping is the lodging of choice of most Hoxeyville attendees — tents and RVs are welcome — and off-site camping is available at Kestelwoods and Coolwater campgrounds. Several hotels and resorts are also nearby.

Hoxeyville will round out its offerings with vendors offering up an array of Michigan foods, products, and microbrews, and additional diversions like glow-in-the-dark disc golf, jugglers, and a puppet troupe on the kids’ stage.

GAIJIN

Thanks to gastro-entrepreneur Simon Joseph, your culinary horizons, your cultural insight, and your food vocabulary are all about to expand. Or they may have already, if you’re one of the lucky ones who has discovered Gaijin, Traverse City’s first and only Japanese ramen shop, since it opened on June 10 on Front Street in downtown Traverse City.

“In Japanese, the name literally means ‘foreign person’ or ‘outside person,’” said Joseph.

“But it’s not a derogatory term — it’s just a matter of fact. It’s not really a term of endearment, either, though it can be. Typically, it’s just like ‘This is my Gaijin friend,’ because that’s what you are. So we feel that since we are literally ‘outside people’ doing ramen in a traditional way, the name makes a lot of sense.”

respect the local ‘terroir,’ as they do in Japan.”

That kind of care to preserve authenticity is carried through in the open, airy interior design of the restaurant, which — thanks to a complete renovation — exhibits no trace whatsoever of its former life as a Subway chain restaurant. To achieve this dramatic transformation, Joseph enlisted the help of Traverse City’s Mike Albaugh from Nuart Signs (who also is responsible for Gaijin’s endearingly wacky “GCat” logo) and Peter Smith from DesignSmiths. On the one hand, the new space is very Zen, with its minimalist furnishings and sleek black, red and grey color palette. On the other hand, it also gives a nod to Japan’s pop culture, with a collage of huge manga art posters covering the walls. “We want the Gaijin experience to be not only good for the belly, but good for the eyes,” said Joseph.

OODLES OF (HOMEMADE) NOODLES Joseph, who kick-started the local food truck revolution with his Roaming Harvest food truck, now a summer fixture at The Little Fleet just three blocks to the east, and the small-but-mighty, brick-and-mortar Harvest, which made the alley between Front and State streets the hip place to catch a bite, has established a reputation for taking local, seasonal ingredients and showcasing them in new and intriguing ways. He is applying that concept to his latest venture as well. “We’re starting with a very good, highquality product from Sun Noodle, who is a major player in the ramen game. But I have imported a Japanese ramen machine, and we’ll soon be making our own noodles with locally grown and milled wheat from Grand Traverse Culinary Oils and Flours on the Leelanau Peninsula. By incorporating this local wheat, it is more traditional, in some ways, than importing noodles from Japan,” said Joseph. “Our job is not necessarily to replicate any certain style or certain ramen — and there are hundreds of them — but to

CAN YOU SAY “KAEDAMA”?

Gaijin’s menu certainly does promise that goodness for the belly. Small and simple, resembling a tear-off slip from an order-taking pad — which it basically is — the menu is nevertheless very well organized and full of information, divided into six categories: Ramen Bowls, Snacks, Gyoza, Bao Buns, Rice Bowls, and Add-Ons. Sub-categories include listings such as Tonkotsu, Sunomono, Tatsuta Age, Niku Nuki and Chashu. Sound daunting? It isn’t. After a couple of visits, you’ll get so familiar with the terms that you’ll feel like you’re speaking Japanese when you’re ordering. “That’s one of the things we want to have happen,” said Joseph. “It’s part of the educational aspect. Our staff is trained to help our customers navigate the menu, and their Tshirts have all of the definitions printed on the back. Also, the menu is set up so that if someone doesn’t want to tackle the names, they can just say, ‘I’ll have the number R2,’ or ‘Can you tell me more about number 10?’

[Hint: It’s a handmade pork potsticker with dipping sauce.] Our primary goal is to have

East Meets Midwest

people feel comfortable and have fun with it. For example, ‘niku nuki’ means ‘without meat,’ and isn’t that a fun way to order a vegetarian rice bowl?”

Gaijin wants to enlighten guests about certain customs associated with ramen culture as well. “What we are presenting is going to be a bit foreign to some folks, quite literally,” said Joseph. “But this is simple comfort food in Japan — like your grandma’s best bowl of soup. Essentially, with ramen, the way you can customize it and get just what you want is by adding things to your bowl. Take the soy egg, for example. It’s a component in three out of four of our ramen bowls. It is a six-minute soft-boiled egg, so the yolk has the consistency of custard. It’s peeled, shocked in an ice bath, and marinated in a combination of sake, mirin and soy sauce before being split open and put into the bowl of ramen.

The hot broth re-thermalizes it. People who love those eggs like to get an extra one as an add-on. And then there’s kaedama — extra noodles. Traditionally, you get this big bowl [15-ounce capacity], and you eat all of your noodles, and you still have broth left. Then, if you think you can handle it, you can call your server over and say ‘Kaedama!’ and he or she will bring you more noodles so you can keep going. Chashu — rolled, braised pork belly — is another thing that people often want more of, or they can add extra vegetables or a spice bomb, which is actually more flavor than heat.”

SLURP AWAY! Slurping the noodles, by the way, is not only permitted, it’s encouraged, according to Joseph. “And it is meant to be loud,” he explained. “In Japan, it is very loud. So your bowl of ramen arrives, and you taste the broth [naturally, it’s bone broth made from scratch], and then you dive right into the toppings — you taste the egg, maybe have a little chashu, try some of the chili threads or

green onion, and then slurping the noodles is the main event. Ramen is meant to be eaten fast and hot. The texture of the noodles is compromised if they sit in the broth too long. That’s why we won’t be selling ramen bowls to go. It’s not that we’re trying to be pretentious — we’re just trying to preserve the integrity of the food.”

Complementing the menu is a small and well-curated selection of beverages: Japanese beer and whiskeys, several sakes, a couple of local wines, sodas from house-made syrups, and of course, tea service.

Joseph said he had a feeling that there was a niche in this market for a real, traditional ramen shop. He emphasizes, however, that Gaijin was not solely his creation. “Sometimes people ask me how I did this, and I tell them, ‘I didn’t. It’s all the people around me.

I couldn’t do this alone — no one can do it alone.’” In addition to his design team, he gives particular credit to his longtime head chef at Harvest, Mark Garneau (whose daughter was an exchange student in Japan and was able to provide some insight to the culture there), and his new head chef for Gaijin, Ryan Meade, who recently relocated to the area from Portland and brought valuable experience and knowledge to the table. “We have created a place that really is all about the food.

It’s not about coming in and spending a lot of money and a lot of time. It’s about coming in and having a great, affordable meal that’s a bit different from what you can get elsewhere in this area, and being able to enjoy it in a cool space. And from the response we’ve had since opening, even I may have underestimated the demand here for a good bowl of noodles! I think it’s the right time for it.”

Gaijin is located at 136 East Front St. in Traverse City. Open Tuesday–Saturday, 11am to 10pm. For more information, visit gaijintc. com, check out Gaijin’s Facebook page, or call 231-421-5466. $

the ADViCE GOddESS Look On The Always Right Side

Q

: I’m a Harvard-educated man in my late 30s. I’ve had many ugly arguments with girlfriends, probably because I am highly opinionated and won’t give in when I’m right. I’ve always dated smart, professional women around my age, but I’m now dating a 21-year-old girl, and I’m thinking this could be it. She doesn’t complain, bug me, or question or challenge me. It strikes me that having a partner who challenges you is overrated. Could this be a lifelong relationship? Can’t I just pursue intellectual discussions elsewhere?

— Peaceful

A

: Why not take this to the next level and get an inflatable girlfriend? You wouldn’t need to feed her, and you could save big on travel if you’d just let the air out of her, fold her up, and stuff her in your carry-on.

This actually might make some sense. After all, conflict is bad, right? Well, not exactly. It turns out that there’s good conflict and there’s bad conflict. Bad conflict involves the stuff of “ugly arguments” — sneering, mocking, and getting up on moral high ground…just so you can shoulder-check the other person off the edge. Good conflict, on the other hand, involves getting (and giving) healthy pushback — which means being what Nassim Taleb calls “antifragile.”

In “Antifragile: Things That Gain From Disorder,” risk researcher Taleb, a former derivatives trader, explains that antifragile is “the exact opposite of fragile” — but it goes beyond “resilience or robustness.” Antifragile describes the way living things are improved by stressors — becoming better, stronger, and more able to cope with difficult, unpredictable stuff that comes their way.

Beyond how being challenged improves you as a person, marriage researcher John Gottman finds that the happiest, most stable relationships are those in which husbands accept “influence” from wives, making wives “far less likely” to go ugly in disagreements. This starts with what Gottman calls “deep friendship” — love between two equals with mutual respect, not one person who can’t believe his luck at finding another who, intellectually and emotionally, is basically a zygote with boobs.

Of course, this woman’s silent partner thing may just be a feature of her being 21. Increasingly, 21 is the new, oh, 8 and a half. Kids are, as Taleb might say, raised “fragile” — helicopter-parented to encounter as few stressors as possible and then bubble-wrapped off to col-

and have “trigger warnings” about course material, lest someone suffer emotional trauma from something untoward in, say, Plato’s “Republic.” (Yes, college is now basically nursery school with beer.)

Still, even these kids have to grow up sometime — which is to say, your girlfriend could begin to have opinions and get a little miffy that you have a heartfelt interest in, um, never, ever hearing them. Your welcoming opinions and influence from a partner — this woman or a more challenging (but still loving and good-natured) woman — starts with having humility, which those frail of ego tend to see as a sign of weakness. The truth is, it takes a strong person to admit that he may be wrong and maybe doesn’t know everything in the known universe (and any yet-to-be-discovered galaxies). Should this come to describe you, you might start to see the appeal of a woman with more to say than those “three little words” — “Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.”

Height Crime

Q

: My new boyfriend is sweet, successful, and handsome, and he rocks my world in bed. The problem? I’m 5‘8”, and he’s 5’6”. I’m embarrassed to admit this, but I’m just not that attracted to him when he’s standing up.

— Shallow

A

: Women like things that are tiny and cute, so it’s been kind of a trend to go around with a little dog poking out of your purse.

Sadly, dressing your itsy-bitsy boyfriend in a sailor shirt and sunglasses and tossing him in your handbag has yet to catch on.

Okay, 5’6” isn’t exactly itsy-bitsy — but it might as well be to you. Your preference for taller men — which biological anthropologist Boguslaw Pawlowski finds 89 percent of women have — didn’t come out of nowhere. Tallness in a man suggests an ability to protect a woman and is associated with social status and access to resources. It also suggests good genes, because ancestors who weren’t starving to death and riddled with parasites would have had the metabolic resources to put toward growing tall.

People say looks shouldn’t matter — which doesn’t for a moment change the fact that they do. Clearly, shortness is a deal breaker for you. This doesn’t make you “shallow.”

It makes you somebody who should stop dating short guys — ideally before you blurt out your true feelings in bed: “Grow, Bradley!…I mean, ‘Oh...Bradley!’”

Broods – Conscious – Capitol

Opening with the fierce vocals wailings and independent sentiments of “Free,” Broods pull no punches on their second album, on which the brother/sister pair of Caleb and Georgia Nott get super dramatic on most of these overthe-top emo tunes. If you’re drawn to music that stomps forward, waiting for you to get out of the way, you’ll enjoy tracks like “We Had Everything” and “Hold the Line” — otherwise, you might want to sit this one out.

Crown the Empire – Retrograde – Rise Records

While this might not be an intentional theme or concept album for Crown the Empire, it certainly seems like one, considering the cohesive themes of outer space-synths and UFOfriendly lyrics that run through nearly every track. “Weight of the World” serves as the album’s far-out ballad, while “SK-68” is prepped and ready for life as an arena-rock favorite; industrial, sharp sounds are added in for the more doom-themed “The Fear is Real” and “Aftermath.”

Northern HAPPY HOUR starts atExpress, 3pm 1/8pg BW, Aug. 8

Periphery – Select Difficulty – Sumerian

With their triple-guitar approach (perhaps the reason behind this album’s subtitle, Periphery III), this Washington D.C. band’s latest was initially supposed to be an EP, but they were so inspired it turned into their next full-length set, running over an hour. Immediately launching into the fray, the set starts with the forceful “The Price is Wrong” and “Motormouth,” only relenting to subtlety later with the eclectic “Marigold” and ballad “Lune.”

Lake Street Dive – Side Pony – Nonesuch

Boston band Lake Street Dive — named after a Minneapolis street that plays host to a lineup of, you guessed it, dive bars, captures that underground pop feel with their retro combination of standup bass, plus guitar, trumpet, percussion, and emotional vocals.

LSD has always been a danceable outfit, and this collection’s no exception, from the gritty scratch of “I Don’t Care About You” to the more soulful “Can’t Stop” with its Detroit-era foundation.

(July 23-Aug. 22): Let’s assume, for the sake of fun argument, that you do indeed have a guardian angel.

Even if you have steadfastly ignored this divine helper in the past, I’m asking you to strike up a close alliance in the coming weeks. If you need to engage in an elaborate game of imaginative pretending to make it happen, so be it. Now let me offer a few tips about your guardian angel’s potential purposes in your life: providing sly guidance about how to take good care of yourself; quietly reminding you where your next liberation may lie; keeping you on track to consistently shed the past and head toward the future; and kicking your ass so as to steer you away from questionable influences. OK? Now go claim your sublime assistance!

snip off a strand of your hair. As you do, sing a beloved song with uplifting lyrics. Seal the hair in an envelope on which you have written the following: “I am attracting divine prods and unpredictable nudges that will enlighten me about a personal puzzle that I am ready to solve.” On each of the next five nights, kiss this package five times and place it beneath your pillow as you sing a beloved song with uplifting lyrics. Then observe your dreams closely. Keep a pen and notebook or audio recorder near your bed to capture any clues that might arrive. On the morning after the fifth night, go to your kitchen sink and burn the envelope and hair in the flame of a white candle. Chant the words of power: “Catalytic revelations and insights are arriving.” The magic you need will appear within 15 days.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): ): This would

be a good time to have a master craftsperson decorate your headquarters with stained glass windows that depict the creation stories of your favorite indigenous culture. You might also benefit from hiring a feng shui consultant to help you design a more harmonious home environment. Here are some cheaper but equally effective ways to promote domestic bliss: Put images of your heroes on your walls. Throw out stuff that makes you feel cramped. Add new potted plants to calm your eyes and nurture your lungs. If you’re feeling especially experimental, build a shrine devoted to the Goddess of Ecstatic Nesting.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You Geminis are

as full of longings as any other sign, but you have a tendency to downplay their intensity.

How often do you use your charm and wit to cloak your burning, churning yearnings? Please don’t misunderstand me: I appreciate your refined expressions of deep feelings -- as long as that’s not a way to hide your deep feelings from yourself. This will be an especially fun and useful issue for you to meditate on in the coming weeks. I advise you to be in very close touch with your primal urges.

CANCER June 21-July 22): Be vulnerable

and sensitive as well as insatiable and irreverent. Cultivate your rigorous skepticism, but expect the arrival of at least two freaking miracles. Be extra nurturing to allies who help you and sustain you, but also be alert for those moments when they may benefit from your rebellious provocations. Don’t take anything too personally or literally or seriously, even as you treat the world as a bountiful source of gifts and blessings. Be sure to regard love as your highest law, and laugh at fear at least three times every day.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Using scissors,

ed kriskywicz

AUG 8 - AUG 14

may not yet be fully aware of your good fortune, your “rescue” is already underway. Furthermore, the so-called hardship you’ve been lamenting will soon lead you to a trick you can use to overcome one of your limitations. Maybe best of all, Virgo, a painful memory you have coddled for a long time has so thoroughly decayed that there’s almost nothing left to cling to. Time to release it! So what comes next? Here’s what I recommend: Throw a going-away party for everything you no longer need.

Give thanks to the secret intelligence within you that has guided you to this turning point.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Here comes a

special occasion -- a radical exemption that is so rare as to be almost impossible. Are you ready to explore a blessing you have perhaps never experienced? For a brief grace period, you can be

free from your pressing obsessions. Your habitual attachments and unquenchable desires will leave you in peace. You will be relieved of the drive to acquire more possessions or gather further proof of your attractiveness. You may even arrive at the relaxing realization that you don’t require as many props and accessories as you imagined you needed to be happy and whole. Is enlightenment nigh? At the very least, you will learn how to derive more joy out of what you already have.

ScORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In the coming

weeks, I suspect that Life will attempt to move you away from any influences that interfere with your ability to discern and express your soul’s code. You know what I’m talking about when I use that term “soul’s code,” right? It’s your sacred calling; the blueprint of your destiny; the mission you came to earth to fulfill. So what does it mean if higher powers and mysterious forces are clearing away obstacles that have been preventing you from a more complete embodiment of your soul’s code?

Expect a breakthrough that initially resembles a breakdown.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Maybe

you know people who flee from the kind of Big Bold Blankness that’s visiting you, but I hope you won’t be tempted to do that. Here’s my counsel: Welcome your temporary engagement with emptiness Celebrate this opening into the unknown.

Ease into the absence. Commune with the vacuum. Ask the nothingness to be your teacher. What’s the payoff?

This is an opportunity to access valuable secrets about the meaning of your life that aren’t available when you’re feeling full. Be gratefully receptive to what you don’t understand and can’t control.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I placed a wager down at the astrology pool. I bet that sometime in the next three weeks, you Capricorns will shed at least some of the heavy emotional baggage that you’ve been lugging around; you will transition from ponderous plodding to curious-hearted sauntering. Why am I so sure this will occur? Because I have detected a shift in attitude by one of the most talkative little voices in your head. It seems ready to stop tormenting you with cranky reminders of all the chores you should be doing but aren’t -- and start motivating you with sunny prompts about all the fun adventures you could be pursuing.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) What you are

most afraid of right now could become what fuels you this fall. Please note that I used the word “could.” In the style of astrology I employ, there is no such thing as predestination. So if you prefer, you may refuse to access the rich fuel that’s available.

You can keep your scary feelings tucked inside your secret hiding place, where they will continue to fester. You are not obligated to deal with them squarely, let alone find a way to use them as motivation. But if you are intrigued by the possibility that those murky worries might become a source of inspiration, dive in and investigate.

PIScES (Feb. 19-March 20): Are you ready for

your mid-term exam? Luckily I’m here to help get you into the proper frame of mind to do well.

Now study the following incitements with an air of amused rebelliousness. 1. You may have to act a bit wild or unruly in order to do the right thing. 2. Loving your enemies could motivate your allies to give you more of what you need. 3. Are you sufficiently audacious to explore the quirky happiness that can come from cultivating intriguing problems?

4. If you want people to change, try this: Change yourself in the precise way you want them to change.
