Just Plain Talk It is nice to see the president wearing a mask and finally acknowledging that we have a virus problem. When I think of the deaths and continual suffering that those months of delay and denial have cost us, I just tremble.

Does our president really believe that his newfound concern for our well-being is believable at this point? I would suggest that his insincere script-read briefings are a desperate attempt to score points at the polls Again, Mr. President, too little too late.

Caralee Giuntoli, Traverse City Tuttle 2020!

How can we get [Northern Express opinion columnist] Stephen Tuttle elected president? Seriously.

Sharon M. Peters, Petoskey Federal Fiasco After nights of mostly peaceful Black Lives Matter protests, unidentified forces appeared on Portland’s streets to — according to the Department of Homeland Security — protect the federal courthouse. They wore no name tags, no identifying insignia. Dressed in desert fatigues and driving unmarked vehicles, they hustled protesters into vans and drove away. A “non-lethal” weapon fired at a protester caused a serious head injury. Federal officers beat a retired naval officer wearing a shirt emblazoned “Navy,” breaking his arm.

Far from the courthouse, federal forces snatched individual protesters off the streets.

Every night the protests grew larger and, in the late hours, more violent. Portland’s mayor and the Oregon governor requested that these forces leave . . . to no avail. Federal forces have heightened tensions as more citizens protest their presence, leading to more violence and larger demonstrations.

President Trump is threatening to send forces to other cities led by Democratic mayors. His stated goal: to protect federal buildings and monuments. But his real goal is to sow more violent turmoil and then blame Democratic mayors for being unable, or unwilling, to stop it. It’s all part of Trump’s reelection campaign — an attempt to distract from his failure to slow the growth of the pandemic.

We must oppose these early moves toward a dictatorship, in the streets and at the ballot box. Support our right to free speech and assembly. Vote for Joe Biden.

Let’s end our four-year nightmare.

Marilyn Morehead, Charlevoix Media Bias After your July 20 issue, Starry Nights, you should really change the name of your

publication to the Northern Democrat.

You will print any unsupported attack on Trump, without comment. Yet you felt the need to correct an anti-Biden letter for an out-of-context quote. It seems sort of paranoid on your part, this desperate effort to protect Biden. I note that I have never seen you correct any letter or columnist that lied about or took Trump out of context.

In the same issue you published a halfpage column from a layman “centrist” who took a narcissist test on behalf of Trump. The writer was not a psychiatrist or a psychologist, but someone who obviously despises Trump.

How about if I take a cognitive test for Joe Biden? The result would be just as valid as the column you published. His outrage is not objective, just CNN fueled, and you published this irrelevant opinion like it mattered.

Despite the “Republican racism” big lie constantly harped on by the mainstream media and Democrats, I note that Democrat voters eliminated all their minority presidential candidates, the gay candidate, the [Asian American] candidate, the women candidates, and the communist.

It seems obvious that Democrats are racist, homophobic misogynists. And Michigan Democrats are definitely racist too: [In 2018,] they voted in the old white lady, [U.S. Sen. Debbie] Stabenow, instead of the young Black vet John James. By the illogical standards applied to Republican voters for the last 40 years, this is obvious and undeniable racism. Go ahead, deny it, but actions speak louder than words.

It would be nice if letters provided facts instead of inflammatory unproved insults and accusations. Scott Adams, [creator of the Dilbert comic strip] asked a good question: What is the worst thing [Trump] has done? The answers I’ve seen are all over the place and scrambling to make sense.

The news should not have a political party.

John M. Lohman, Traverse City Protect our Great Lakes In June, Enbridge was fined $6.7 million for Environmental Protection Agency safety violations, defied Gov. Whitmer by restarting Line 5 after damage shut it down, and now refuses to provide the Michigan Department of Natural Resources with proof of insurance against an oil spill.

Words have no effect on Enbridge.

At the 2018 anchor strike hearing, the nation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration’s administrator called the Straits of Mackinac the worst place in the nation for an oil pipeline. Record-high water levels wreaking havoc on shorelines are also at work in the Straits bottleneck.

Damage to a remedial support caused the recent shutdown of Line 5. When and how the damage occurred is unknown. One leg of Line 5 somehow shifted and remains shut down; the other resumed operation.

Enbridge speculates that another anchor strike caused the damage, despite their preventative measures. An independent assessment of the whole line is needed.

Gov. Whitmer promised to protect the Great Lakes. She can and must revoke the 1953 Easement because it requires prudent and safe pipeline operation. We cannot allow an oil company to call the shots. We need more than words from the governor.

Barbara Stamiris, Traverse City

Defining Socialism & Fascism Love your publication. After reading the July 27 letter titled “Destruction Imminent,” I had to reply. I could go into the letter’s spelling/grammar issues but only need to focus on the word “fascism” (spelled correctly here).

Most of the Republicans and far right throw around those descriptors of socialism, communism, and fascism without knowing the actual definitions.

So here they are: Socialism refers to state ownership of common property, or state ownership of the means of production. A purely socialist state would be one in which the state owns and operates the means of production.

Clearly, this has not been proposed by Liberals or Democrats.

Fascism is a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and, often, racism.

With this knowledge, we can disprove that these two words mean the same thing!

Also with this knowledge, it is likely that on a scale of 0 to 10, the United States is far from socialism (maybe a 3 if 10 is full socialism), but we are much closer to fascism with Trump (maybe a 7 if 10 full fascism).

Most capitalist countries have Socialist elements such as universities (owned by the states in which they’re located), highways, parks, etc. — common entities owned by the government/citizens.

The only imminent destruction I can see coming is from the Republican fascists.

Trump continues to break laws and his oath to the Constitution, and the Republicans do nothing to hold him accountable.

They are complicit in the destruction of our democratic republic. Trump wants to be a dictator just like the despots he worships (Putin, Erdogan, etc.) He uses nationalism and racism as red meat to keep his “deplorables” in line.

Dan Bielski, West Bloomfield Dim the Lights Thank you for the night sky articles in your July 20 Starry Nights issue. I would like to observe that our region could be doing better regarding light pollution around Traverse City. The city itself — especially the big-box-store strip along US-31 — blasts a lot of light into our night sky.

I live in Acme. On cloudy nights, my neighborhood is illuminated by the light sent into our skies by those stores 10 miles away. Off to the northeast, there is a column of light from the casino and retail parking lots on M- 72.

The new Archangel Gabriel Orthodox Church on US-31 and Dock Road is now brightly illuminating a hilltop, which was previously completely dark.

I wish more thought was given to the effects of this light pollution. Remember, lights that illuminate the sky are not only wasting electricity and money but also affecting our whole region. Perhaps alternate lamp systems could be considered when these parking lots’ lights are repaired or replaced? Or maybe fewer lights could be sufficient?

top ten Poor Farm Gets Marker The state has issued a historic marker for the Leelanau County Poor Farm west of Maple City.

The marker won’t be installed immediately out of pandemic concerns, but the Leelanau County Historic Preservation Society plans to install it once or safe and hold a dedication ceremony.

The preservation society formed in 2017 to save the barn at the historic farm site, first having to convince county commissioners that the barn could be saved and then signing a 25-year lease to take over the property from the county.

Today the barn has been shored up, and it’s Pictured with the marker are Robert Foulkes in its third year of restoration overseen by the (barn worker), Jane Cline (LCHPS Board nonprofit. member), and Julie Avery (volunteer).

The historic marker contains different text on each side. One side tells the story of the farm; the other describes important features of the barn, which is the only structure that remains at the site.

The farm site was originally purchased by the county in 1901 to provide a home for indigent citizens.

SUPERMARKET SWEEP

Seeking 22 minutes of mindless joy? Netflix recently dropped a wonderfully random assortment of old school (think early ’90s) Supermarket Sweep episodes, and it really puts the fun back in your trip to the grocery store. Not familiar with this iconic gameshow? Three pairs of contestants compete in grocery-related games that culminate in a “Big Sweep” that is a race against the clock to stuff their carts with as many high-value goods as possible. A total nostalgic throwback (check out those prices!), everything from the mini sweeps, international bread section, and goofy competitors to the manager’s specials and stylish sweatshirts will have you cackling.

A new and excellent addition to Tap30’s already clever pub fare (see their tater tot nachos — aka Totchos — and the only kids-menu Mac n’ Cheese we’ve ever seen offering cavatappi pasta coated in a house-made white cheddar and smoked gouda cheese sauce), the BBQ Brisket Quesadilla is, to put it mildy, da bomb. Spicy, smokey, savory, and enough to feed two, this generous and messy handheld mixes “burnt ends black beans” with tender BBQ brisket, cilantro lime crema, summer-fresh tomatoes, white cheddar cheese sauce, and a chili avocado puree for which we felt zero shame when dribbling down our chins. Do like we did, and pair it with a light beer and a seat on the spacious on-street deck, or munch while you people watch from the giant open window at front, or grab it for takeout. $15.

Former Camp Saved, Open to the Public

A 1,288-acre former Boy Scout camp is now open to the public as a nature preserve.

The place once known as Camp Tapico re-opened last week following a four-year, $4 million campaign by the Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy to save the wilderness in Kalkaska County from development.

The property, now known as Upper Manistee Headwaters: The Milock Family Preserve, features a 130-acre spring-fed lake, a mile of the north branch of the Manistee River, more than 13 types of wetlands, several kettle-hole ponds and a mix of northern forests and fields.

“You just don’t find properties this large, this diverse left in Michigan,” said conservancy Executive Director Glen Chown. “To have an opportunity to purchase it and make it one of our signature preserves is extraordinary. We’re still pinching ourselves.”

The property was operated as a Boy Scout camp from 1946 to 2012 and had long been on the conservancy’s radar. When it went up for sale on the open market in 2016, the property was nearly sold to a private developer before the conservancy swooped in.

The property is now open to the public and features a six-mile trail network.

Stuff we love Sailing Out of the Sunset Inland Seas Education Association’s (ISEA) flagship schooner, Inland Seas, is back at it. Following a long break this spring and early summer, the bright green boat with the bright red sails just made her way up the bay from Traverse City to her home dock in Suttons Bay. And Aug. 3, the ol’ gal will kick off its entertaining and educational public sails — Evening Sky Gazing, Fishes of Lake Michigan, Great Lakes Under the Microscope, and a Fall Color Sail, to name just a few. Act quickly to make your reservations; extra health and safety precautions will be in place, which means reduced capacity on the ship and limited tickets available.

Tommy Tropic Takes on Guinness World Record The North’s most famous juggler, magician, street show performer, and unabashedly corny comedian, Tommy Tropic, will attempt to break the Guinness Record for “Farthest distance traveled on inline skates whilst juggling three objects” Friday, Aug. 7, on the Boyne Valley Bike Path, starting near Dam Road at 6:30pm and finishing at Boyne Mountain. One mile will break the record, but in typical overthe-top Tommy Tropic style, he’s going for two. And he’s making the feat all the more worthwhile by turning it into a fundraiser for the nonprofit ACT Katwe, an acrobatics circus troupe that fights poverty by teaching acrobatics and juggling to 200 kids in Katwe, the largest slum in Kampala, Uganda. The event starts with a 5pm cocktail hour on the lawn of the Mountain Grand Hotel at Boyne Mountain Resort, Boyne Falls.

bottoms up Mammoth Distilling’s Northern Rye If you’re among the lot that likes your chardonnay “unoaked” yet find yourself thirsty for something that’ll sprout hair on your chest long before it lifts your pinky, consider the equally elegant but considerably harder (and, happily, hardly fast) Northern Rye. The latest from Mammoth Distilling has spent the last nine years in two different American oak barrels — at least seven served in a second-fill oak barrel and just a portion of that spirit in a new oak barrel for the remaining months. The result is what Mammoth Founder Chad Munger calls a brighter, more versatile whiskey than your usual oak-dominated straight rye whiskey. The flavor of its grains — mostly rye with just a wee bit of corn and barley, but each distilled separately, then blended — outshines any oaky notes with hints of vanilla, pear, cherry, and a llingering ginger spice we found especially refreshing over ice and downright fantastic in an Old Fashioned. Find a recipe for a classic Old Fashioned, made with Mammoth’s not-so-traditional Northern Rye, at www.mammothdistilling.com; find yourself a bottle where Imperial Beverages are sold. (Not available in Mammoth’s tasting rooms.)

“Defunding” the police means different things to different groups. For some, it is synonymous with reforming the police. For others it means a diversion of some funding, now used by law enforcement, for social and mental health workers. Still others hope for a Utopian future in which there is no policing at all.

The United States didn’t even have municipal police departments until Boston created the first in 1838. Prior to that, citizens complained to appointed magistrates who then investigated and determined if a trial should be held. The jury was comprised of other magistrates and local businessmen. All involved were men.

Almost no civil rights were observed, torture was frequently used to elicit confessions, and defendants were often on their own. It was the process that resulted in 20 women in Salem, Massachusetts, being executed as witches.

more officers, and arrests increased dramatically, especially the arrests of minorities. The crime rate was basically unmoved.

Finally, local activists began protesting, and the new department evolved into a neighborhood policing policy in which officers have become part of the communities they serve.

Violent crime is down more than 45 percent.

On the other coast, Eugene, Oregon, is held up as example of using interventions that are alternatives to police.

Eugene, a college town (University of Oregon) with a population of about 171,000, has partnered with their neighboring city of Springfield (population 63,000) to create a nonprofit mobile intervention program that uses medics, social workers, and mental health specialists to answer some calls. They mostly deal with homeless or drug-ravaged

Unless somebody can tell us how to eliminate crime, we aren’t going to eliminate law enforcement.

But what about the other options?

We’ve now reached a moment when all men and women in law enforcement are under pressure because of the historically, and ongoing, biased culture of some departments.

The calls for defunding grow louder.

Unless somebody can tell us how to eliminate crime, we aren’t going to eliminate law enforcement. But what about the other options? Can we defund a department and start over from scratch? Can we use money earmarked for law enforcement for alternative public interventions? People are now pointing to examples of both.

FOR

WORK

Early municipal police departments were no bargain, either. Often minimally trained and brutal, they meted out their own brand of justice with clubs and fists. It took a very long time for the courts and too many municipal police departments to recognize the rights of individuals. It wasn’t until 1966 the Supreme Court determined those arrested have the right against self-incrimination and to an attorney, the so-called Miranda Rule.

In 2012, Camden, New Jersey, eliminated its city police department and started over with a countywide operation. While the department today has good relations with its minority constituents, and crime is down, the department reformation had little to do with a desire to better serve those communities.

Nearly the opposite.

Camden, a former industrial center that industry abandoned, was a a poverty- and crime-riddled city of 73,000. With a poverty rate of more than 40 percent (annual household income of less than $22,000) and dependent on state aid since the late 1980s, the idea was to increase law enforcement presence, not reduce it. Eliminating the city police department also eliminated union contracts so more officers could be hired for less. In fact, the new department had nearly 50 percent

individuals who might have previously encountered the police. Although some 9-1-1 calls end up being referred to the program, it has its own number, about 40 workers, and a couple of their mobile vans on call 24/7.

Their budget is about $2 million.

According to Eugene officials, the program saves the police department more than $8 million annually. Ambulance and hospital savings are even greater.

But Eugene has been doing this for 30 years, not as a response to current events. It has both the human and financial resources to staff and run such a program. It also has sufficient services and shelter space for those in such need.

Every law enforcement agency could benefit from anti-bias training, and some are in need of significant reformation. But not every department everywhere needs defunding, and neither Camden nor Eugene benefited from that strategy.

The Camden defunding was headed for failure until local activists resuscitated it through protest. More cops and tougher enforcement wasn’t the answer; a more benevolent policing philosophy was.

Eugene’s non-police interventions have proven successful and freed up police from dealing with public health issues so officers could focus on crime. But other cities need to know this requires human, financial, and various service and shelter resources they might not have.

For some police departments with historically discriminatory track records, we may have reached a day of reckoning. Their reformation is long overdue. But no police? We simply have not evolved sufficiently as a species to be trusted to police ourselves.

It can be satisfying to judge other people. It gives us a sense of control. We don’t feel so helpless when we have the power to point fingers, blame someone.

Over the past several months we’ve seen a wave of reactionary pandemic-shaming of those not following the “rules.” One of those favored rules is placing COVID-19 precautions above all other health considerations. It’s understandable that people gain a fleeting sense of power in an impossible situation through policing others on proper conduct. The media have capitalized on this shaming bandwagon.

Epidemiologist Julia Marcus, of Harvard Medical School, is disturbed by the absolutist “moralistic undertones” of public shaming, saying it actually increases risky behavior.

Unfortunately, shaming has the opposite of its intended effect and actually increases the bad behavior. She reminds us that the highest threat for transmission is found in places like prisons and nursing homes. She warns that public shaming of people for “having fun” (i.e., walking downtown, mask-free) during a pandemic is counter-productive.

It’s time to step back and rethink our communal reaction.

The pandemic has some very critical symptoms that are not being addressed — symptoms that many find too unpleasant to discuss and prefer to ignore as insignificant. Mental health issues related to the virus and its disruption of our lives are not mere collateral damage; they should be central to every aspect of our collective response.

Placing physical health above mental well-being is an act of cruel ignorance. It’s primitive thinking.

Grief, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, domestic abuse issues, extreme anxiety, and agoraphobia are but a few of the very serious long-term mental health conditions that need to be at the top of the list of factors considered when making publicpolicy decisions related to this rolling crisis. To ignore them invites decades of trouble.

The nonprofit Families for Depression Awareness encourages people to help those suffering from a mood disorder. They advise that “social distancing does not have to mean emotional distancing.” However, just the use of the term “social distancing” can feel very isolating to those suffering from mental health issues. (Early on in the pandemic, the World Health Organization (WHO) strongly discouraged the use of the term in favor of “physical distancing.”)

For those not experiencing emotional illness within their circle of family and friends, this might seem like semantics. Ignorance of mind health can lead to obtuse and hurtful opinions.

It’s time to acknowledge and treat the mental health aspects of the pandemic. They are real.

They are dangerous. And people are dying.

8 • aug 03, 2020 • Northern Express Weekly

In defiance of the Trump Administration’s effort to thwart WHO in a pathetic bid to distract the public from what is possibly the most monumental presidential blunder in American history, the global organization recognized the dire mental health consequences. WHO has been promoting a number of coping mechanisms, including

having regular social contact while observing reasonable precautions.

Another nonprofit, The Global Healthy Living Foundation, reminds us that those who are immunocompromised, or at high risk from the virus in general, may be experiencing heightened levels of loneliness and anxiety that are new to their already complicated healthcare landscape.

Friends and relatives may think steering clear of these individuals is doing them a service, but social isolation in a time of high anxiety can be detrimental. The foundation offers an online service for care and counseling. The Centers for Disease Control, among other organizations, are similarly offering hotlines for those experiencing acute anxiety and suicidal thoughts, but that is simply a Band-Aid approach to the looming mental health crisis.

The publication Healthline found that it has become increasingly problematic to identify mental health issues because of the isolation that distancing begets. Yet, it reports the number of people currently suffering “is well above historical norms.” Certain demographics are considerably more vulnerable: women, minorities, people with compromised health, healthcare workers, and millennials. Financial stress, domestic violence, and the utter uncertainty about what the future holds are taking their toll on coping mechanisms.

National Public Radio (NPR) reports that children are experiencing increasing mental health problems due to social isolation — a problem made worse for those dealing with underlying emotional-health issues.

The American Psychological Association cautions of the dangers of social distancing, citing that many have developed a people phobia, leading them to make poor choices, like avoiding critical medical care. They warn that intimate partner violence and child abuse are on the rise, and that gun sales are also up.

Guns in the home, by the way, are linked to increased suicide rates.

Dr. Mark Reger, chief of psychology services at Puget Sound Health Care, refers to the pending suicide risk as the “perfect storm.” His concern is warranted. Suicide is already the 10th leading cause of death in the U.S. — and that’s pre-pandemic.

NPR refers to the problem as a “silent threat.”

That characterization is fitting. The new norms expect us to remain mute about the emotional devastation COVID-19 has had on our collective and individual psyches, or at least make sure it takes a backseat to the physical impacts of the pandemic.

This disease is an equal opportunity killer.

COVID-19 death certificates list multiple primary causes of death — stroke, cardiac arrest, COPD, suicide, among others.

Death is death.

COVID-19 does not play favorites based on the presumed virtue of a false moral high ground.

Despite that, reports Deutsche Welle, so many people wear their masks incorrectly (covering the mouth but not the nose) that Berlin’s transport company, BVG, is now suggesting that riders skip deodorant when they’re getting ready for the day, in hopes that the body odor on crowded trains will keep those masks in place. “Given that so many people think they can wear their masks under their noses, we’re getting tough,” read a bright yellow posting from July 1 on Twitter. “The BVG is calling for a general deodorant waiver. So now do you still want to have your nose out?”

Farm families in Botswana living beside the Chobe River have long battled herds of elephants that often pass through their fields at night, trampling crops as they move toward the river. Barking dogs and fences have failed to stop the elephants, the BBC reported on July 7, but farmers are having remarkable success with a new weapon: disco lights. Scientists from Elephants Without Borders placed solar-powered strobe lights that flash color patterns along the sides of fields elephants are known to walk through, frightening the elephants away. One farmer reported that before he had lights, “I had more elephants raid ... but in these two seasons with lights I have harvested successfully.”

News That Sounds Like a Joke A man attempting to elude police in a stolen Toyota Land Cruiser on July 5 in Newberg, Oregon, crashed into a woman driving a Buick Regal that had been reported stolen three weeks before, giving police a twofer. Newberg-Dundee police said they arrested the driver of the Toyota, Randy Lee Cooper, 27, and then found the driver of the Buick, Kristin Nicole Begue, 25, to be under the influence of intoxicants and arrested her, too, KOIN reported. Neither driver was injured

been contacted a number of times by people wanting someone killed, and he turns all of those requests over to law enforcement.

Wait, What?

Iceland is offering a stressed-out world a unique way to blow off some steam, reports Sky News -- scream therapy. The country’s tourist board is inviting people worldwide to record their screams to be played over loudspeakers in one of seven remote locations. “You’ve been through a lot this year,” says the project website, “and it looks like you need the perfect place to let your frustrations out. Somewhere big, vast and untouched. It looks like you need Iceland.”

Psychotherapist Zoe Aston approves: “Using a scream as a way to release pent-up emotion allows you to ... reclaim the power that is inside you.” Iceland has suffered relatively little during the COVID-19 pandemic, with 1,905 cases of the disease and 10 lives lost.

Compelling Explanation What started as a report of a naked man running down a road hitting cars in Owensboro, Kentucky, on July 16, soon turned into a home burglary in progress, reports WFIE. Daviess County Sheriff ’s deputies said they arrived at the home around 1:30 a.m. to find John Stefanopoulos, 41, standing inside, naked and covered with mud and blood. Authorities said the suspect rushed the officers while repeatedly telling them he had used “mushrooms with Jesus and that they were playing a virtual reality video game together.” Stefanopoulos was eventually tased and taken into custody.

Suspicious Liberty County (Georgia) sheriff ’s officers who found a body lying next to a railroad track in Allenhurst on July 14 followed protocol by covering the body with a sheet and waiting for the coroner. When the coroner arrived, detectives looked for injuries and quickly discovered the body was a female sex doll. WSAV reported that the doll was fully clothed and was anatomically correct. Officials think they may have been victims of a prank.

“Incorrigibel” Robert Berger, 25, of Huntington, New York, was scheduled to be sentenced last October after pleading guilty to possession of a stolen Lexus and attempting to steal a truck, but in an effort to avoid jail, he tried faking his own death, prosecutors charged on July 21. The scheme, they said, unraveled when authorities discovered a spelling error and inconsistencies in the font styles and sizes on the fake death certificate submitted by his lawyer. Further, The Associated Press reports, while Berger was “dead,” he was arrested in Philadelphia for providing a false identity to police and stealing from a Catholic college. “It will never cease to amaze me the lengths some people will go to to avoid being held accountable on criminal charges,” Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas said. “It’s never a good idea to submit phony documents to the district attorney.”

Least Competent Criminal Wendy Wein, 51, of South Rockwood, Michigan, was arrested July 17 after offering an undercover state trooper $5,000 to kill her ex-husband and giving him money for travel expenses, WXYZ reported. Wein met the trooper after allegedly visiting the fake website rentahitman.com, where she completed a form requesting a consultation and named her ex-husband as the target. The owner of the website contacted Michigan State Police, who sent the undercover officer.

“I’m very surprised that someone thought this website was a true website,” said state police spokesman Lt. Brian Oleksyk. The website owner said over the last 15 years he’s

Suspicions Confirmed Andrea Balbi, president of the Gondola Association in Venice, Italy, announced on July 22 that the organization is reducing the maximum capacity allowed on the iconic boats from six persons to five, CNN reported. The change comes not because of social distancing, but because “over the last 10 years or so, tourists weigh more,” Balbi said. He noted that heavier loads often mean the boats take on water, which makes it harder for the gondoliers to navigate in heavy traffic. “Going forward with over half a ton of meat on board is dangerous,” remarked Raoul Roveratto, president of an association for substitute gondoliers.

eFulfillment Service

Short’s Brewing Co.

 Windemuller

Petoskey Plastics

Keep your eyes on these six Northern Michigan businesses.

While many Michigan businesses struggle through the pandemic, some are finding a way to survive and thrive.

By Craig Manning Which Northern Michigan businesses are best positioned to thrive in the aftermath of COVID-19? While the pandemic has been devastating for many industries, it has also created opportunities elsewhere. Northern Express flagged six local businesses that are poised for growth going forward because of smart business pivots or simply being in the right industry at the right time. eFulfillment Service — which stores and ships products for hundreds of online businesses — has had a gigantic 2020, according to COO Steve Bulger. He says the company went from processing about 20,000 orders a week in the first two months of the year to handling more than 44,000 per week at the peak of the pandemic. As stayat-home restrictions have lifted and retail stores have reopened, those volumes have tapered slightly, but are still 50 percent above eFulfillment’s year-over-year average.

The uptick in business hasn’t been without challenges. To keep up with increased order volume, eFulfillment had to hire 20 new staff in the middle of the pandemic. The business — and the rest of the e-commerce industry with it — also faced difficulties restocking inventory as demand spiked, and factories around the world halted operations.

Bulger is hopeful that, having navigated the first wave of COVID-19 successful, eFulfillment Service, and the e-commerce industry as a whole, will be well-prepared in the event of a second wave. The company has focused on perfecting its safety protocols, splitting its nearly 100-person

reduce exposure risk for the workers taking temperatures. The camera systems can also enforce masking policies, by detecting whether or not someone is wearing a face mask.

“We’ve had a pretty robust response so far, as far as interest goes,” Technology Manager Homer Campbell says. He adds that manufacturers, hospitals, doctor offices, colleges, and schools have been particularly drawn to the technology.

Several manufacturers in the region have also changed course to do their part in fighting the pandemic. One of those companies, Petoskey Plastics, made the jump back in March to start manufacturing non-surgical isolation gowns for healthcare workers and patients.

While Petoskey Plastics has traditionally done a bit of work in the medical sector — manufacturing biohazard medical bags for hospitals, laboratories, dental offices, veterinary offices, and other healthcare settings — the company does most of its business in other industry segments, including automotive, retail, and construction.

When COVID-19 hit, those market segments started to dry up — particularly automotive. Petoskey Plastics makes a significant percentage of its revenue by manufacturing vehicle protection products for auto service providers and automotive OEMs (original equipment manufacturers), but with COVID-19 shutting down auto factories across the country in March and April, much of that revenue segment vanished overnight.

Harbor Retail store design

Faced with having to shut down key operations and lay off hundreds of staff members, Petoskey Plastics changed course and repurposed some of the production lines making automotive products to start making hospital gowns. The pivot — which ultimately landed Petoskey Plastics contracts with dozens of hospitals, including neighbor McLaren Northern Michigan Hospital, in Petoskey, saved the company from having to furlough employees and even allowed for the payout of worker-appreciation bonuses.

Going forward, Petoskey Plastics is making hospital gowns a permanent part of its manufacturing portfolio.

While many businesses have pivoted to better serve the needs created by the pandemic, HealthBridge Financial has

been “right in the middle” of the crisis since the beginning, according to COO Amy Chambers. HealthBridge is a Grand Rapidsbased startup with a Traverse City office.

The company’s platform offers a financial security safety net for members of highdeductible health insurance plans offered by their employers. Organizations can offer HealthBridge alongside their existing health plans as a way of helping plan members with potentially unaffordable deductible payments. When a member makes a claim, HealthBridge covers deductibles, copays, and other expenses, consolidating them into one monthly installment plan, much like a credit card would work.

HealthBridge launched its service on a pilot basis last year and is now expanding its reach.

“There is a national conversation going on right now about healthcare reform, affordability, and access,” Chamber says.

“COVID was one part healthcare crisis, but it was also one part financial crisis. Ninety percent of all Americans have said that COVID was causing financial stress and that paying for healthcare was among their top concerns. As a result, we are more certain now about the HealthBridge thesis than ever before. Guaranteed access to financial resources is going to be critical if we want insured individuals to access the right care at the right time.”

Retailers have been right in the thick of the pandemic too, serving the needs of customers directly — and interfacing with the general public at a time when

doing so might put any and all parties at risk. Harbor Retail, which is based in Grand Haven but operates a second manufacturing facility in Charlevoix, has been helping retail businesses build new safety protocols into their store designs. The company specializes in retail design, working with brands like Best Buy, Target, and Nordstrom to cultivate their store experiences, integrate technology, design custom fixtures for displays, and more. During COVID, they’ve pivoted to manufacturing plexiglass shields, sanitation wipe stations, and other retail solutions that can “encourage confidence from customers and clients post-crisis, to spur positive economic activity.” Harbor Retail is also now offering modular pop-up room systems aimed at disaster response and recovery.

Not Just a Job. an Adventure Four cool jobs we wish we had.

No matter the work, career fulfillment is about the enjoyment, the challenge, and the satisfaction of a job done well. That’s why Brian Kozminski, Scott Koontz, Russell Ferrill, and Leslie Latham Schutte love what they do.

What do they do? Their jobs couldn’t be more different, depending on the individual.

Sometimes on the season. Maybe even the country. By Ross Boissoneau

Brian Kozminski

Winter Rafting Guide Brian Kozminski has done a lot of different things, but it’s his job as a winter river raft guide for Jordan Valley Outfitters that he enjoys the most. Kozminski — “Koz” to his friends — is a fly-fishing guide and sales rep for fishing rod manufacturer Temple Fork Outfitters, so he’s got summer covered. But it’s when the mercury drops that he’s really in his element.

“In the winter, you see a side of the river nobody knows,” he said. “The snow flocking on the trees — it’s a different silence when the snow is falling. You’ll see otter, eagles, muskrats. You’ll see deer quite often.”

Kozminski sits in the stern of the raft and guides it left and right as the current pulls it downstream, something he said the Jordan does especially well in winter. “You’ve got to have a river that has the right amount of flow. The Jordan is just right,” he said.

Each raft can accommodate between two and eight passengers, but those folks aren’t only spectating. They also have paddles, and Kozminski directs them when and how to thrust the paddles and whether to push or pull. Unlike other winter sports like skiing and snowboarding, experience isn’t really necessary for first-time riders; only a sense of adventure. (And maybe some extra-warm Gortex.)

“If you live in Michigan, you’ve got to find something to do in the winter, or it’s going to be a long winter,” Kozminski said.

Scott “Guppy” Koontz

Master Groomer Those who like to hit the slopes owe Scott “Guppy” Koontz a round of thanks.

The longtime groomer at Nub’s Nob in Harbor Springs not only brought back the resort’s long-missing halfpipe in 2018 but managed to do it while already working 12hour nights keeping the resort’s 50+ ski hills in super condition.

No matter. Guppy said what he likes best about his job is that, while there is repetition in it, it’s never the same two days in a row. “It’s always changing. The snow is always in a state of change,” he said.

He started grooming in 1987 after working other jobs at Nub’s. Over the years he has pretty much seen — and plowed and groomed and made snow on — it all. “Wet versus dry — there are different degrees.

Slushy, pack-y, (whether) it packs really hard, doesn’t flow, wants to streak.”

Making things more interesting: Koontz said the snow that skiers love most is the snow groomers hate. Add the difference between natural snow and man-made, changing weather conditions, and the fact that groomers typically work through the night, and yes, indeed, it’s a challenging job.

Oh, and there’s always Mother Nature to contend with. “Nature is a fickle beast,” he said with a laugh.

In the summer he remains busy with maintenance and prep for the winter to come. Through it all, Koontz said he enjoys the work and the satisfaction of seeing the happy throngs of skiers and snowboarders sliding down the slopes. “It’s unique and cool,” he said.

Russell Ferrill

Miniature Golf Course Installer Russell Ferrill’s job finds him flying across the globe and often jumping on cruise ships. As senior construction manager for Adventure Golf & Sports of Traverse City, he oversees construction and installation of miniature golf courses on land — and at sea. At the end of August, he’s scheduled to go to Finland (pandemic permitting) to oversee the installation of a mini-golf course on a cruise ship being built there.

“Mini-golf on ships … is a pretty hot commodity. Passengers really like it — it’s a free thing to do,” he said. Sometimes he goes along on the cruises himself, when maintenance is needed for a putt-putt course during its time at sea. “I’ve been all over the Caribbean, Costa Rica, Mexico.”

Company president Scott Lundmark said the nature of the company and the job means that staff go far and wide — or at least they did until the pandemic. “It [mini-golf] has never gone out of vogue,” he said. He should know because he grew up in the business; his father, Arne Lundmark (remember Arne’s Funland?), owns the company and still works there.

As for Ferrill, he said the modular courses the company has developed enables them to ship the courses in parts, then put the parts together and install them on land or a ship. “We always try to be innovative,” he said, whether that means welding the pieces to the deck of a ship or incorporating splash pads to make splash golf.

Leslie Latham Schutte

Flight Nurse Up, up in the air — it’s Leslie Latham Schutte. The flight nurse at North Flight said the appeal of the job, for her, is that it’s multi-faceted, from assisting people when they need the most help to working with a cohesive team of dedicated individuals.

“What I absolutely love is that every day is totally different,” she said.

That’s because one day they’ll respond to an auto accident, and another they may transport a patient from one hospital to another, hundreds of miles away, for specialized treatment. The North Flight team includes flight nurses and paramedics, pilots, and maintenance crew. Each trip includes three crew — a pilot and two medical personnel.

Schutte said North Flight is one of the few such air responding organizations with both a helicopter and a plane available.

Each crew works 12-hour shifts, as one of two teams on duty during the day and at night, all prepped and ready to take to the skies at a moment’s notice.

For Schutte, the best part of her day (or night) is working with the people her job brings her into contact with. “I love interacting with my team. They’re incredibly smart, outgoing people. I meet a lot of neat patients. It’s rewarding to feel we’re there to help when needed.

“Every day,” she said, “is an adventure.”

Cadillac Young Professionals gathering for fun, pre-pandemic.

TCYP volunteering at State Theatre, pre-pandemic.

Region’s young (and other) professional groups strive to soldier on How to building bonds and climbing the ladder — even when the world is closed

By Ross Boissoneau No matter the field, career growth is challenging. For younger professionals without the benefit of decades of experience — or contacts — it can be even more difficult.

Couple that with starting out in an era when face-to-face work and in-person networking is increasingly rare, and well … a crew of peers in similar straits, with similar drive, seems more critical now than ever.

From Cadillac north through Traverse City to the Charlevoix/Petoskey area, various organizations are actively working to provide the region’s younger workforce with some of the benefits that accrue to those with years and years of experience and numerous professional contacts in their cities.

TRAVERSE CITY “Our focus is to connect, serve, and grow. A lot of programming is focused on connecting,” said Connor Miller. Miller is the program chair of the Traverse City Young Professionals, a part of Traverse Connect, which merged with the Traverse City Area Chamber of Commerce to become the leading economic development organization for the Grand Traverse Region.

The TCYP, which briefly changed its name to FUSE before changing it back, offers opportunities to serve on different committees, like advocacy, marketing, and volunteering. And in addition to an annual conference, the group typically hosts several meetings — which Miller describes as “purposefully informal; you show up and meet peers.” — and events, like Morning Brew, which takes place on the third Thursday of each month.

Or at least they did, until the novel coronavirus hit Michigan. (More on that in a minute.)

So how old is too old to join? “Young Professionals is defined very loosely,” said Miller, noting it’s focused primarily on those 18 to 40, “but we don’t turn anybody away.

We allow them to self-select.”

Brenda McLellan, the director of

investor engagement for Traverse Connect, said participants learn about the value of volunteering, civic engagement, and leadership. “I think it’s a wonderful opportunity, especially for those new to the community,” she said.

CADILLAC Kayla Barnes is the event chair for the Cadillac Young Professionals. She said members can come from any profession, as long as they’re between the ages of 21 and 40. “Trades, office work, hospitality — we build connections across the community,” she said.

Barnes said the goals of the CAYP are to provide opportunities to grow professionally through a variety of programs and discussions with business and community leaders and to help build connections among its members. That is especially valuable for those who might not otherwise meet in standard professional circles. It also works in the community. Last year it hosted a cornhole tournament that benefited the Wexford Civic Center and raised $1,200.

MANISTEE The Manistee Jaycees, a.k.a. the Junior Chamber, is a leadership training and civic organization for people between the ages of 21 and 40. Tyler Leppanen is the current president of the group, and he said the Manistee Jaycees work to improve the greater community as well as help its members advance. “We have members from all over the state and country that have found their way to Manistee in one way or another.

Our membership spans across every sector of our local economy, from service to local government to manufacturing,” he noted.

The Manistee Jaycees have been part of the community since 1935. The Jaycees sponsor several events, including the concert series Roots on the River and an Easter Egg Hunt.

Leppanen said the group works to seek out new people in the area, bring them in, and make them feel welcome and wanted.

He said many businesses encourage their

new hires to get involved with the Jaycees in some form or another. “Some sponsors will even cover the membership fee,” he said.

EMMET AND OTSEGO Thrive 45 serves a similar purpose.

Rather than focusing it on and naming it for a single city, it strives to bring together people from communities located north of the 45th parallel, including Gaylord, Harbor Springs, Petoskey and Charlevoix.

“There’s a gap of resources around for young professionals in this area,” said Jessyca Stoepker, who was elected to the group’s board in May. Thrive 45 offers two programs, each held four times each year. Cultivate is a series of seminars or workshops; Socials are an opportunity to connect outside of work.

Stoepker said the organization does not include or exclude anyone based strictly on age, and the range subsequently varies tremendously. “Some are still in high school, others close to 50. Most are between 24 and 39,” she said. The definition of professional is similarly loose, and includes “anyone who wants to advance in their career path.”

The organization has what she calls a core group of between 300 and 400 members who attend one or two events a year, while there are more who follow or are a part of the group on Facebook and in the community.

NEW BLOOD, ESTABLISHED ORGS There are other similar professional groups that, while not focused on empowering those starting out in the workforce, nevertheless have a significant number of young members. Both Boyne Forward and the Gaylord Rotary Club are open to any age. “The majority of new members have been under 40,” said Larissa Waltman of the Gaylord Rotary, though she noted it is still a small number compared to the rest of its membership.

Similarly, Boyne Forward is a business organization geared toward those in Boyne City and nearby. Jamie Woodall said it is a volunteer leadership group, with gettogethers for networking and learning

opportunities. “It’s not exclusive or specific to age,” he said, noting most members range from their 30s to mid-50s. He said it is a valuable vehicle for those in business to learn from others how to meet various challenges.

NOVEL NETWORKING The advent of the novel coronavirus has had a chilling effect on business in general, including professional and social events.

Organizations such as these have either canceled events outright or had to move them online. “We had to cancel our April event,” said Stoepker.

She said the fact members are typically very busy in the summer months means they don’t schedule many events then, anyway, but she’s not sure what the near future holds. “We’re still trying to figure it out.

Our executive committee has been meeting on Zoom,” she said, noting that upcoming events will probably be held virtually at least in the near future.

“With COVID, everything is on hold.

We canceled April and May,” said Barnes, noting that the group is exploring its options for the future. “We want to be sure everyone is comfortable … with how to move forward.”

“Even though we have not been organizing meetings per se, our membership is still working to socialize in ways appropriate for the conditions we are living in,” said Leppanen. Despite the changing circumstances, the group has been able to continue to serve the community. “In recent months we’ve worked to continue a presence in our community while maintaining a sense of safety. We have done events such as a drive-through Easter Egg Hunt Kits for families to take home during the stay-athome order. We sent over 75 kids home with Easter eggs!”

Miller said the TCYP has done things like socially distanced trail cleaning with TART. He said the switch to mostly virtual gatherings has had one unexpected benefit; it enabled people to take part who wouldn’t normally have the time to travel outside Traverse City.

SHANTY CREEK RESORT BELLAIRE REMOTE RESERVATIONISTS In these times, remote jobs have become all the rage.

Shanty Creek Resort, however, has been far ahead of the curve, recruiting Remote Reservationists for over a year. Even better news?

They still are. “We’re constantly looking,” said Chris Hale, vice president for sales and marketing at the sprawling Bellaire resort. What’s not to like: No gas money or time spent commuting (in a Northern Michigan winter, that might be enough right there), you don’t have to dress for success, you can fix your own lunch, there’s no daycare costs. Plus, Hale said, reservations managers schedule around their preferences.

And as members of the resort staff, remote agents (and their families!) enjoy cart-fee-only rounds of golf, member ski privileges, and discounted lodging and dining — ideal for visiting friends and family.

General Manager Andrew Reh said the appeal of remote working has attracted attention from whole new sectors, from stay-at-home moms to retirees looking to stay active in the work place.

The benefit for the resort is expanding the pool of candidates.

Bellaire and Mancelona are small towns, and this provides the resort with more qualified options. “It fits a lot of people’s needs. Between calls, they can throw a load of laundry in,” Hale said. Reh said by expanding the pool of candidates, the resort is improving the quality of its team and guests’ expectations and satisfaction. For more information, email Hale at info@shantycreek.com.

COMMON ANGLE PETOSKEY IT HELP DESK TECHNICIAN There’s no word on whether the company theme song is David Bowie’s “Heroes,” but with a phone number of 888-4-IT-HEROES, it’s not unlikely. And if you’d like to join the heroes at Common Angle, you’re in luck. The information technology company based in Petoskey is looking for an IT Help Desk Technician — and there’s a $1,000 signing bonus in the offing.

Sound good? Read on: Help Desk Technicians install, maintain and troubleshoot software, hardware, peripherals, Local Area Networks, Wide Area Networks and data communications equipment. They also analyze and fix software, hardware and network-related problems reported by users. Of course, there are a lot of requirements. Two to five years experience with Windows, an understanding of network standards such as TCP/IP network, and the ability to configure devices and networks for fast, secure, reliable operation. Oh, don’t forget security. As words like malware and ransomware become part of the vernacular, keeping up to date on all the latest advances is necessary. Of course, there’s lots more tech stuff: Knowledge of VMware ESXi Strong, working knowledge of routers, switches, and firewalls, TCP/IP routing, subnetting, and CAT5e/6 Ethernet cabling requirements. You can apply on joblift. com, trabajo or other sites, or find out more about the company at CommonAngle.com.

HAGERTY INSURANCE DATA SECURITY ENGINEER Could a job that includes “defining, overseeing, and managing standards, processes, reporting and metrics as part of a data protection program” be fun? Is it possible for a job focused on “identifying and remediating data risks” and “seeking key stakeholders and business process owners … to support the identification, assessment, aggregation and the overall management of data risks and controls” to be engaging and important? Well, if you like cars, absolutely. Cool cars, old cars, classic cars (and boats!).

Hagerty, the automotive lifestyle brand for those who love cars and love driving them, has an opening for a Data Security Engineer. You’ll be on the front lines, protecting critical information for the company and clients.

To qualify, you’ll need a degree with a major course work in IT, computer science, cyber security, or similar field; at least two years of experience in information security; security expertise around managing legacy risks and security debt; and working knowledge and experience with security frameworks with acronyms like ISO, PCI DSS, NIST, CIS and SANS Critical Controls. You’ll need people skills, too — the ability to work as part of a team, to foster strong relationships with auditors and business process owners, and to listen and communicate like the smart and considerate human you are. To apply, go to careers.hagerty.com.

Feed Your Brain Set aside some time to fire up your other synapses

By Ross Boissoneau You know what they say about all work and no play, right? If you agree, consider pulling your nose off the career grindstone and give your brain a little license to relax, learn about something entirely new (or just a bit outside of your wheelhouse), and get creative in other ways.

For the overworked, stressed, or otherwise stuck among us, we offer you this roundup of performances, presentations, and classes — both in-person and online — designed to educate and inspire you in ways your work alone probably won’t.

MANISTEE Midweek Mornings bring together the Ramsdell Regional Center for the Arts, the Vogue Theatre, and Old Kirke Museum for a series of presentations at 10am on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, respectively.

“It’s a collaborative effort to increase programming,” said Xavier Verna, executive director of the Ramsdell.

“Talks, Tunes and Tours” at the Ramsdell features the likes of Shelly Doyen of the Ideal Kitchen store on entertaining, and Amanda Sewell of Interlochen Public Radio on the life of synthesizer wizard Wendy Carlos. Verna said it is a way to showcase local artists and experts for both local audiences and visitors.

The presentations are free and are followed by a brief tour of the facility.

The Vogue is showing classic films, such as The Blues Brothers and Raging Bull. Audience

size is limited to 25 percent of capacity per state guidelines. Admission is $2.

The Olde Kirke Museum is the site of the oldest existing Danish Lutheran church in the country. Its “First Person Stories and Songs” series features a variety of presenters sharing their stories. Admission to the events, as at the Ramsdell, is free.

The Ramsdell has also booked an exclusive documentary series, “Great Art On Screen,” and the art gallery has opened in Hardy Hall with works by Onekama artists Phil and Susan Joseph, who will be part of the Aug. 4 Midweek Morning. (Can’t get there? You can view their work at Ramsdell’s online gallery.)

Verna said the series has been going since 2016, but interest and attendance is higher this year than in the past. The Midweek Mornings run through August.

Find the complete schedule and details at www.RamsdellTheatre.org.

BAY HARBOR The schedule of performances at Great Lakes Center for the Arts venue is ramping up live performances but limiting the number of patrons to 132 (25 percent capacity). The artists below will perform one-hour shows at 5pm and 8:30pm on their event date: Aug. 8: Dan Tyminski (14 Grammyaward-winning bluegrass, country musician) Aug. 15: Tony-award winning Brian Stokes Mitchell Aug. 22: Chris Thile (mandolin virtuouso; of Punch Brothers, Nickel Creek)

22 • aug 03, 2020 • Northern Express Weekly

Top: Josh Hartman: now taking students eager to learn the art of cruising via unicycle.

Bottom: Musician Chris Thile will perform live at 5pm and 8pm Aug. 22 at the Great Lakes Center for the Arts in Bay Harbor.

Aug. 29: The Kalichstein-LaredoRobinson Trio Sept. 6: Asleep at the Wheel (Texas Twin Fiddles, Boogie Piano) Performances by Paul Taylor Dance Company, Chris Botti and tribute band Bruce in the USA have been rescheduled for 2021.

ONLINE You want something different? What about flower arranging, unicycle lessons, or even diabolo lessons? And what the heck is a diabolo anyway?

First things first. Derek the Bartender, a.k.a. Derek Woodruff, doesn’t mix drinks.

HURRY IN!

Shelly Doyenne, owner of Manistee’s Ideal Kitchen, will present a how-to on easy entertaining Aug. 18 at the Ramsdell.

Instead, he offers floral workshops. They are an outgrowth of his subscription flower delivery service, Floral Underground. “It’s an experiential workshop, like cookbook demonstrations,” he said.

His botanical bar setups include a variety of terrarium and planting containers, live miniature plants, soil and decorative media as well as tools of the trade. Projects include Plant Flights, Succulent Wreaths, Moss Frames and more. Woodruff said the most popular is the terrarium workshop, where participants create their own miniature plant world.

The pandemic has seen him shift to an online model. “I’ve been getting requests for virtual ones,” he said, though he did have his first live presentation in months just a couple weeks ago. It was held outside, and participants were spaced far apart for safety.

He’s created his own Youtube channel and can conduct the workshops via Zoom as well. Go to DerekTheBartender.com.

Now, about the unicycle and the diabolo.

Both are courtesy of Josh Hartman, who is ostensibly a professional photographer, but also touts the benefits of sporting about on a unicycle. “I’ve been doing it about 10 years,” he said.

It wasn’t enough that he could ride one, he had to add tricks, like headstands.

Then he got the bright idea of passing those skills along to others. “I was reaching out in a unicycle group and asked, Does anyone want to learn virtually?” One man said it was his dream to have his son learn, and Hartman soon had an eager student learning to balance and idling by pedaling forward and backward.

Not content to stop there, he’s also working with a youngster learning the diabolo, aka the Chinese yo-yo. Two cups or discs are attached by an axle, with the object then spun or tossed into the air by a string attached to two sticks.

His diabolo student is in North Carolina, where he previously taught second grade. He left teaching when he found he was making more money as a weekend photographer.

“Plus there was too much paperwork. My favorite part of the job was recess. That’s what I get to do now,” Hartman said. The sometimes-Traverse Cituan is living on the road; find him on Instagram and online at www.halfabike.com.

INTERLOCHEN While the campus is closed and the stage at Kresge is empty, Interlochen Center for the Arts is still offering classes.

Hartman will teach you how to master the Chinese yo-yo online.

BOTH STORES OPEN 7 DAYS * 9 to 9

More than 70 adults from around the world will participate in the adult band camp Aug. 11-14. Faculty will teach master classes on instrumental technique, host lectures, and prepare students for individual solo video recordings of Gustav Holst’s “First Suite in E-flat for Military Band,” which will be transformed into a virtual performance and launched at a later date.

The chamber camp Aug. 17-22 will see string, piano, and woodwind musicians leading pedagogy workshops, master classes, presentations, and more. A virtual chamber music concert series will feature daily live performances by faculty and guest chamber music ensembles from locations across the country.

OTHER IDEAS Crooked Tree Arts Centers in Traverse City and Petoskey, Glen Lake Artists Association, Oliver Art Center in Frankfort, Gaylord Center for the Arts and other organizations are also offering virtual (and sometimes in-person) instruction, concerts, shows and workshops. All live events are enforcing the appropriate safety protocols. For more information, visit the organizations’ individual websites.

: My friend won’t stop talking about her new crush, and it’s driving me up the wall. I was annoyed, but now I’m getting increasingly angry, and I don’t appreciate this toxic feeling rising up. It’s all her and her new love all the time. If she asks anything about me or how I’m doing, it’s an afterthought.

I try to avoid conflict, so I haven’t said anything. I keep hoping she’ll realize she’s behaving really selfishly. What will it take to get her to recognize this and start being a better friend?

— Upset

A

: There’s actual friendship, and then there’s calling somebody a friend but using them as a giant ear-shaped trash can.

Not surprisingly, being treated this way has left you feeling angry. Like many people, you’re uncomfortable with anger. Anger is often characterized (wrongly) as a “negative” emotion. Sure, the expression of anger — ours or that of somebody around us — can make us feel stressed out, uncomfortable, and even poisoned. Uncontrolled anger can get us in trouble (sometimes for 20 years to life).

However, anger, like the rest of our emotions, is actually functional. Over millions of years, our emotions evolved to be the factory foremen of human behavior, motivating us to behave in ways that solved problems humans dealt with on a recurring basis, such as finding a mate, avoiding a beat down, and getting a friend to be more give-and-take than take, take, take.

Evolutionary psychologist Aaron Sell, who researches anger, explains that it is one of a few emotions that serves to regulate not just our behavior but also that of others (as do shame and sadness). When we express sadness, for example, like by sobbing, it evokes empathy in others, which makes them want to reach out and give us a hug and maybe even let us use their shoulder as a substitute for snotty Kleenex.

Sell calls anger a “recalibrational emotion” and explains that it functions as a bargaining tool for us to negotiate for better treatment.

When we notice that another person doesn’t place enough value on our “welfare” (meaning our interests, our well-being), anger rises up in us, motivating us to take action to get the other person to correct — that is, recalibrate— the imbalance, to treat us better.

Anger does its recalibrational work — that is, incentivizes better treatment — through two

BY Amy Alkon tactics, explains Sell: the potential for the angry person to inflict costs (sometimes just through the scary ugliness of aggression) or to withdraw benefits (such as the various social and emotional perks of being somebody’s friend). Either of these tactics suggests to the person doing the short shrifting that they’ll be worse off if they continue to put too little weight on the angry person’s interests, and this can motivate them to mend their selfish, neglectful ways.

In other words, in anger, you’ve got a fantastic tool to protect you from being taken advantage of...that is, if you use it instead of trying to suppress it. Because anger is triggered automatically, stifling it won’t make it go away; it’ll make it go away and get bigger and uglier. It’s likely to leak out at inappropriate times (like in sniping hostility when you speak), and there can be an eventual out-of-proportion explosion, often at some seriously minor perceived “slight,” like the person you’re angry with not passing a condiment quite zippily enough.

Healthy assertiveness, on the other hand, requires the expression of what I’d call “timely, judicious honesty.” “Timely” means expressing that you have unmet needs relatively quickly -- as soon as you can after you realize there’s an issue.

Being “judicious” means taking an emotionally strategic approach: framing the discussion with how you feel rather than how someone’s wronged you. In practice, this means evoking the other person’s empathy (saying, “I feel bad when...”) rather than using language of accusation or blame (“You do this rotten thing...”), which makes a person feel attacked and motivates them to fight back instead of listening.

The third step, “honesty,” is expressing, “Here’s what I need...” and seeing whether the other person says they’re up for providing it.

Then, of course, there’s seeing whether they actually will (perhaps with a reminder or two from you if they automatically fall back into their old ways).

If you accept responsibility for being delinquent in expressing what you want from your friend, it should help you cool off enough to do that now in a civil way. If it turns out she isn’t genuinely interested in your welfare -- that is, in being a real friend to you with all the give-and-take that involves -- you can downgrade her accordingly (like from friend to “someone I know”). Of course, you really couldn’t be a better friend to he rright now — that is, unless you had your jaw wired shut for a month.

AUG 03 - AUG 09

BY ROB BREZSNY

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): At times in our lives, it’s impractical

to be innocent and curious and blank and receptive. So many tasks require us to be knowledgeable and self-assured and forceful and in control. But according to my astrological analysis, the coming weeks will be a time when you will benefit from the former state of mind: cultivating what Zen Buddhists call “beginner’s mind.” The Chinese refer to it as chuxun, or the mind of a novice. The Koreans call it the eee mok oh? approach, translated as “What is this?”

Buddhist teacher Jack Kornfield defines it as the “don’t-know mind.”

During this upcoming phase, I invite you to enjoy the feeling of being at peace with all that’s mysterious and beyond your understanding.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) “Some

people will never like you because your spirit irritates their demons,” says actor and director Denzel Washington. “When you shine bright, some won’t enjoy the shadow you cast,” says rapper and activist Talib Kweli. You may have to deal with reactions like those in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. If you do, I suggest that you don’t take it personally. Your job is to be your radiant, generous self—and not worry about whether anyone has the personal power necessary to handle your radiant, generous self. The good news is that I suspect you will stimulate plenty of positive responses that will more than counterbalance the challenging ones.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn

occultist Peter J. Carroll tells us, “Some have sought to avoid suffering by avoiding desire.

Thus they have only small desires and small sufferings.” In all of the zodiac, you Capricorns are among the least likely to be like that. One of your potential strengths is the inclination to cultivate robust desires that are rooted in a quest for rich experience. Yes, that sometimes means you must deal with more strenuous ordeals than other people.

But I think it’s a wise trade-off. In any case, my dear, you’re now in a phase of your cycle when you should take inventory of your yearnings. If you find there are some that are too timid or meager, I invite you to either drop them or pump them up.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The people

who live in the town of Bazoule, Burkina Faso regard the local crocodiles as sacred. They live and work amidst the 100+ creatures, co-existing peacefully. Kids play within a few feet of them, never worrying about safety. I’d love to see you come to similar arrangements with untamed influences and strong characters in your own life, Aquarius. You don’t necessarily have to treat them as sacred, but I do encourage you to increase your empathy and respect for them.

PISCES (Feb 19-March 20): Your body

naturally produces at least one quart of mucus every day. You might not be aware of it, because much of it glides down your throat.

Although you may regard this snot as gross, it’s quite healthy. It contains antibodies and enzymes that kill harmful bacteria and viruses. I propose we regard mucus as your prime metaphor in the coming weeks. Be on the alert for influences and ideas that might empower you even if they’re less than beautiful and pleasing. Make connections with helpful influences even if they’re not sublimely attractive.

ARIES (March 21-April 19):

In her book Sticks, Stones, Roots & Bones, Stephanie Rose Bird reports that among early African Americans, there were specialists who spoke the language of trees. These patient magicians developed intimate relationships with individual trees, learning their moods and rhythms, and even exchanging non-verbal information with them.

Trees imparted wisdom about herbal cures, weather patterns, and ecologically sound strategies. Until recently, many scientists might have dismissed this lore as delusion. But in his 2016 book The Hidden Life of Trees, forester Peter Wohlleben offers evidence that trees have social lives and do indeed have the power to converse.

I’ve always said that you Aries folks have great potential to conduct meaningful dialogs with animals and trees. And now happens to be a perfect time for you to seek such invigorating pleasures.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20): Author Joanne Harris writes, “The right circumstances sometimes happen of their own accord, slyly, without fanfare, without warning. The magic of everyday things.” I think that’s an apt oracle for

4 Color: PMS 583 G PMS 7459 PMS 7462 PMS 7413

you to embrace during the coming weeks. In my opinion, life will be conspiring to make you feel at home in the world. You will have an excellent opportunity to get your personal rhythm into close alignment with the rhythm of creation. And so you may achieve a version of what mythologist Joseph Campbell called “the goal of life”: “to make your heartbeat match the beat of the universe, to match your nature with Nature.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Author Gloria

Anzaldúa writes, “I am an act of kneading, of uniting and joining.” She adds that in this process, she has become “a creature that questions the definitions of light and dark and gives them new meanings.” I would love for you to engage in similar work right now, Gemini. Life will be on your side—bringing you lucky breaks and stellar insights—if you undertake the heroic work of reformulating the meanings of “light” and “dark”—and then reshaping the way you embody those primal forces.

CANCER (June 21-July 22):

“Pleasure is one of the most important things in life, as important as food or drink,” wrote Cancerian author Irving Stone. I would love for you to heed that counsel, my fellow Crabs. What he says is always true, but it will be extraordinarily meaningful for you to take to heart during the coming weeks. Here’s how you could begin: Make a list of seven experiences that bring you joy, bliss, delight, fun, amusement, and gratification. Then make a vow—even write an oath on a piece of paper—to increase the frequency and intensity of those experiences.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you.” Author Anne Lamott wrote that, and now I’m conveying it to you—just in time for the Unplug-Yourself Phase of your astrological cycle. Any glitches or snafus you may be dealing with right now aren’t as serious as you might imagine. The biggest problem seems to be the messy congestion that has accumulated over time in your links to sources that usually serve you pretty well. So if you’ll simply disconnect for a while, I’m betting that clarity and grace will be restored when you reconnect.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Have you been

saving any of your tricks for later? If so, later has arrived. Have you been postponing flourishes and climaxes until the time was right? If so, the coming days will be as right a time as there can be. Have you been waiting and waiting for the perfect moment before making use of favors that life owes you and promises that were made to you? If so, the perfect moment has arrived. Have you been wondering when you would get a ripe opportunity to express and highlight the most interesting truths about yourself? If so, that opportunity is available.

ScORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “I learned to

make my mind large, as the universe is large, so that there is room for paradoxes,” writes Scorpio author Maxine Hong Kingston. That would be an excellent task for you to work on in the coming weeks. Here are your formulas for success: 1. The more you expand your imagination, the better you’ll understand the big picture of your present situation—and the more progress you will make toward creating the most interesting possible future. 2. The more comfortable you are about dwelling in the midst of paradoxes, the more likely it is that you will generate vigorous decisions that serve both your own needs and the needs of your allies.
