The Republican primary in the 1st Congressional District race for Congressman Bart Stupak’s seat is heating up both verbally and financially.

The Federal Election Commission reported its quarterly find-

ings Friday morning showing that while Dan Benishek, a Republican from Crystal Falls, is no longer making post-health care-vote dollars, he isn’t afraid to drop his own coin in the race.

See FUNDING on PAGE A14 CHARLEVOIX — It began as a simple candle-lit boat parade in 1930. Today, Charlevoix’s Venetian Festival is the city’s highlight of the busy summer season.

This year’s festival kicks off on Saturday, July 17, and runs through Saturday, July 24.

While tens of thousands attend the festival each year, many don’t know about its rich history.

“When the festival started 80 years ago, it was really small and was just a boat parade,” said Joan Miller, who works for the Venetian Festival planning office. “But today, there are so many events and it really just brings the entire community together.”

The festival offers everything from the traditional boat and street parade, to fireworks, sporting events, food and

live music.

“We actually have a tradition of two nights of fireworks,” Miller said. “On Friday (July 23), we have the larger show that is down near Ferry Beach on Lake Charlevoix. Then on Saturday (July 24) we have a smaller, but still impressive, display downtown.”

While the fireworks may be one of the highlights of the festival, they were put on hold after a deadly accident in 1997.

Nearly 50,000 people were watching when one of the fireworks exploded, killing one and injuring more than a dozen others.

“After the accident, organizers tried a laser light show which just didn’t go over well,” said Dean Davenport, long time Charlevoix resident and organizer of the Venetian games. “The community then rallied together and decided See VENETIAN HISTORY on PAGE A14

County holding on to mineral rights Brandon Hubbard 439-9374 - bhubbard@petoskeynews.com

At least for the time being, Emmet County will retain the mineral rights for property throughout its boundaries.

In June, the Emmet County Building and Grounds Committee was approached by Western Land Services representatives about the sale of its mineral rights for “all property south of Levering Road.”

Among the specific areas mentioned during the meeting was the large plot of land around the Pellston Regional Airport.

In total, the county has about

6,000 acres.

However, the exact number of acres of mineral rights available would require extensive review, because a large number of county acres were previously owned by the state of Michigan, which retains such rights.

On a phone call Wednesday, Emmet County Controller Lyn Johnson reiterated that the Emmet County Board of Commissioners has directed him to take “no action” at this time, including a possible survey of the mineral rights acres available.

So, for now, there will be no gas wells sprouting up on county property.

It’s safety first at Venetian ■ Officers will be out in force during the festival Christina Rohn 439-9398 - crohn@petoskeynews.com

CHARLEVOIX — Charlevoix’s Venetian Festival is a highly anticipated event, which draws nearly double the population of Charlevoix each summer.

Gerard Doan, chief of the Charlevoix City Police Department, said normally, Charlevoix’s population is around 30,000 during the summer months. However, he says, when the festival hits (July 17-24 this year), the population can spike to around 60,000.

With a crowd of this size, in a town that is home to around 3,000 people in the off-season, Doan says things can get pretty tight, hectic and, at times, dangerous.

In an effort to handle the crowds and stifle possible crime, Doan said he brings out his entire department — nine

officers — as well as enlists the help of the Charlevoix County Sheriff ’s Department.

“Usually we get up to two or four deputies,” he said. “Typically, you can see 10 officers on foot down in East Park for the fireworks ... the mere presence of us deters a lot of problems we might have.”

Doan said the most common issue that arises each year during the festival is drunk and disorderly conduct.

“This has been deterred over the years, but I think it’s something you’d find at any big festival throughout the state,” he said. “Just be careful on how many alcoholic beverages you partake in — we want to see everyone come here safely and get home safely.”

Another primary concern for officers is traffic control and pedestrian safety.

AROUND THE WORLD IN 60 SECONDS

Warmest June on record, climate scientists say

BP stops oil spewing from Gulf gusher

WASHINGTON (AP) — Last month was the warmest June on record, extending months of record-setting heat.

Worldwide, the average temperature in June was 61.1 degrees Fahrenheit (16.2 Celsius), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Thursday. That was 1.22 degrees F (0.68 C) warmer than average for June.

This year has had the warmest average temperature for January-June on record — 57.5 F (12.2 C).

Peru, the central and eastern regions of the United States, and eastern and western Asia were warmer than usual last month. Scandinavia, southern China and the northwestern United States were all cooler than normal.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The oil has stopped. For now.

After 85 days and up to 184 million gallons, BP finally gained control over one of America’s biggest environmental catastrophes Thursday by placing a carefully fitted cap over a runaway geyser that has been gushing crude into the Gulf of Mexico since early spring.

Though a temporary fix, the accomplishment was greeted with hope, high expectations — and, in many cases along the beleaguered coastline, disbelief. From one Gulf Coast resident came this: “Hallelujah.” And from another: “I got to see it to believe it.”

Petoskey planning commissioners decided Thursday to suppor t several changes in the city’s ordinance governing signs. “Almost all of these (changes) are trying to clarify what the current text is,� said city CHRIS ENGLE/GAYLORD HERALD TIMES planner Amy Tweeten.

Should you see an dates will be referred to the error, please contact Jeremy McBain, editor, at the Petoskey News-Review, (231) 347-2544.

A Thursday story in the Petoskey News-Review about ideas for changing the U.S. 31/ city council for considerPickerel Lake Road intersection on page A1 did not provide the full name of one of the ation. sources quoted. That source was Matt Radulski, a development engineer with the Michigan Department of Transportation.

CORRECTIONS and clarifications

Among the recommended changes are an updated definition of “dynamic displays� — such as electronic and mechanical signs — meant to ensure that the sign rules cover changing technology.

Rules for window signs also are proposed to be updated. The new language would specify that any sign put within three feet of a window — including electronic monitors, which increasingly have been used by businesses to convey messages — would be subject to requirements for window signs.

Sign-ordinance rules concerning the use of “open�

pennants would be clarified with the updates, as would the standards for signs displayed on awnings. New details would be added to the rules concerning wall signs, providing more specifics as to how the maximum size for these signs should be calculated for buildings with varying setbacks.

In moving that the planning commission recommend the changes, commissioner John Murphy noted that the changes reflect “three years of diligent study by the (city’s) sign committee� and that public input was sought in numerous cases.

Two in running for Boyne City superintendent position

Cheboygan County cherry stand robbed at gunpoint

■

CHEBOYGAN COUNTY — Police in Cheboygan County are on the hunt for a man who they say pulled a gun and robbed a cherry stand in the village of Wolverine Wednesday.

The lone suspect, who has been described as a 6foot tall, white male, between the ages of 20 and 30, reportedly approached the cherry stand around 2:40 p.m. on July 14, brandishing a handgun and demanding money.

The victim, who was running the stand at the time, complied with the gunman’s request and supplied him with an undisclosed amount of money.

According to a release from the Cheboygan County Sheriff ’s Department, the suspect, who is described as having a shaved head, clean shaven face and no visible piercings or tattoos, took the money and then fled the scene on foot wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, blue jean pants and dark sunglasses.

Immediately after the report came in, Cheboygan County Sheriff ’s deputies, along with the Cheboygan County Sheriff ’s Department’s K-9 Unit, troopers from the Michigan State Police Cheboygan post and officers from the Tuscarora Township Police Department, canvassed the area in an attempt to locate the suspect, but this was to no avail.

The incident remains under investigation.

Anyone with information about this crime is asked to contact Sgt. Michael Brege at the Cheboygan County Sheriff ’s Department at (231) 627-3155.

City alliance with chamber questioned

Second interviews to take place on Wednesday, July 21 Rachel Brougham 439-9348 - rbrougham@petoskeynews.com

BOYNE CITY — In its search for a new superintendent, the Boyne City Board of Education narrowed the field to two final candidates.

Earlier this week, the board interviewed four candidates to re place outgoing superintendent, Rober t Alger, who in May announced he was leaving for a posi- Alger tion at the Charlevoix-Emmet Intermediate School District.

Second interviews have been scheduled for the final two candidates on Wednesday, July 21.

— 6:30-7:30 p.m., Susan Wooden, 45, director of curriculum and instruction and assessment from Owosso Public Schools since 2001.

— 7:45-8:45 p.m., Peter Moss, 57, superintendent of Hart Public Schools since 2005.

David Harwell, an assistant superintendent of Hart Public Schools, withdrew his name from the running on Thursday, July 15.

Thomas Dykstra, a high school prin- Schrader cipal and director of technology and career and technical education at Byron Area Schools, was not selected for a second interview.

Two other candidates withdrew their names before the first round of interviews.

Second interviews are open to the public and will be held in the boardroom of the Early Childhood Building at 321 South Park Street in Boyne City.

School board president, Ken Schrader, noted the board had difficulty in narrowing down the candidates for a second interview.

“All four candidates we interviewed had very high qualifications and were eager to be our next superintendent,” he said.

The Charlevoix-Emmet Intermediate School District has been assisting in the search.

Michigan incumbents report healthy war chests Kathy Barks Hoffman Associated Press

LANSING — Democratic U.S. Rep. Gary Peters reported Thursday that he has $1.9 million on hand heading into a tough re-election bid in November. Peters reported raising $2.35 million, including about $330,000 in the past quarter.

He and other congressional candidates had to report by the end of the day how much they’ve raised, spent and had on hand as of June 30. The reports could show who has the most financial resources for the final push to the Aug. 3 primary election.

Dozens of Michigan candidates filed reports by the deadline, but most reports weren’t available on the Federal Election Commission website by 10 p.m. EDT. Peters, from Oakland County’s Bloomfield Township, will face one of four Republicans running in the 9th District. None of the GOP candidates’ campaign finance reports were on the Federal Election Commission website by Thursday night.

Democratic U.S. Rep. Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick reported she has $271,952 on hand as she fights to hold onto her 13th District seat against five primary election challengers.

Kilpatrick’s report showed she has raised $499,319 and spent $512,341 in the past 18 months, but had plenty left over from previous campaigns.

None of the others in the race had filed late Thursday afternoon.

The longtime congresswoman could feel the effect of voter dissatisfaction with her son, former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, who is in prison for a parole violation connected to a text-messaging scandal. The Democratic primary winner is expected to win in November in the district that includes part of Detroit and a few suburbs.

In the 2nd District GOP race to replace Republican U.S. Rep. Pete Hoekstra, former NFL player Jay Riemersma of Holland reports that he raised $448,253 and lent his campaign $208,632. His last loan, $100,000, came in late March. He spent $529,588 and had $127,541 cash on hand at June 30. Riemersma is one of seven Republicans in the

race. Hoekstra is stepping down to run for governor.

Republican U.S. Rep. Candice Miller, who doesn’t have a primary challenger in the 10th District, reported she raised $595,228, spent $406,234 and had $1.18 million on hand. Democrat Henry Yanez had not yet filed his report.

In the 5th District, Republican John Kupiac of Grand Blanc reported raising $23,650 and lending his campaign $33,085. He spent $42,393 and had $14,342 on hand.

He’s running against Rick Wilson for the chance to take on incumbent Rep. Dale Kildee of Flint, who is being challenged in the Democratic primary by Scott Withers. No reports were available for the other candidates.

In the 1st District, where Democratic Rep. Bart Stupak is retiring, the only report filed so far was for former Democratic candidate Connie Saltonstall, who withdrew from the race in May. The Charlevoix resident reported raising $120,491 and lending her campaign $2,000, which was repaid. She spent $115,632 and had $6,859 on hand.

3 Best of the Northwest

EAST JORDAN — When East Jordan commissioner Tinea Spence questioned the city’s alliance with the city chamber, community members were left wondering why.

Chamber president Mary Faculak said she has heard a lot of feedback from the community.

“We’ve had a lot of calls from community members. They are concer ned because everyone here is a team,” Faculak said.

The chamber is a tremendous service Faculak to the city, she added.

When the issue was brought up, Spence asked about the amount of money the city spends every year in chamber dues.

“I really think we can create a separate fund and host events ourselves,” she said.

Currently, the city pays $3,300 out of its general fund every year. This city has been paying that Spence sum for more than 20 years.

Commissioner Ray Fisher said he does not believe the issue will go very far.

“The chamber is needed in East Jordan. They do a good job. I understand not spending too much money and wanting to be wise about that, but the chamber is necessary. Everyone in this community has to work together,” he added.

City manager Bob Anderson said he hopes the city decides not to cut ties with the chamber, and that the commission only is seeking more information.

“There is no plan afoot to cut ties with the chamber. We appreciate all businesses and want more of them in this community,” city manager Bob Anderson said.

“I want to assure everyone not to take the matter personally. A commissioner had a legitimate question about an expense; that was it,” he added.

Jordan Valley Accounting is one of many chamber members.

Owner Lisa Dunneback said, “The function of a chamber is to promote business and that is exactly what the East Jordan chamber does. They do their job very well, and that is why we pay our dues.”

“I’ve belonged to many chambers and I think East Jordan’s is one of the best around. I think there are some misunderstandings going on here. The chamber does not control festivals. Perhaps people need to be more educated on exactly what the chamber is supposed to do,” Dunneback added.

So far, no motions have been made to end membership with the chamber.

The next city council meeting is 7 p.m. Wednesday, July 21, in city hall. The chamber will present information to city council at the following meeting on Aug. 3.

Our View

Hope amid budget gloom

Don’t miss wonderful voices, dances brought by young performers

Y

oung singers and dancers from Canada, the United States and Vietnam will be the featured performers in what is being billed as a “minifest.”

With 150 singers, dancers and instrumentalists performing at least 15 scheduled concerts, this year’s Children of the World in Harmony International Youth Choir & Dance Festival doesn’t quite fit the description of the word “mini.” In comparison to last year’s week-long festival when more than 375 talented young converged on the Little Traverse Bay area for a week of singing and dancing, this year’s festival may be “mini,” but it won’t be any less exciting.

Performances are planned Monday through Sunday, July 19-25, in Petoskey, Bay View, Harbor Springs, Charlevoix, Boyne City, Mackinac Island and Beaver Island.

The week will provide a a wonderful opportunity to see and hear some outstanding young talent. Some of the concerts will require tickets, while many of the performances will be offered free of charge. A complete listing of scheduled concerts is available on the Voices Without Borders festival website, www.vwbchoir. com.

The highlight of the week-long festival will be the Festival Gala Concert at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 21, at the Harbor Springs High School Performing Arts Center. The event will feature all of the singers, dancers and drummers — truly an event not to be missed.

Another special event during the festival, will be an African drum circle led by Ehli Kihonia of Wacongo West African Dance Company, from 9:30-11 a.m. Thursday, July 22, on the grounds near Hall auditorium in Bay View.

Area residents and churches are rolling out the red carpet for these 150 special visitors by invit-

ing them to stay in their homes and to perform for their congregations.

This year’s minifest will bring the following groups to Northern Michigan: — Sol Arts Centre traditional music and dance ensemble from Hanoi, Vietnam, presenting dance and instrumental folk music ensembles and soloists. Singers of the group will join with other choirs in the Voices Without Borders Choir. Sol Arts Center helps pass on traditions and preserves traditional Vietnamese folk music and dance.

— Mariachi los Rebeldes of Phoenix returns to the festival for a second year. The group helps young persons of Mexican descent learn about and perform traditional Mariachi music of Mexico.

— Afrika Yetu Artistic Youth Ambassadors, an African dance and music ensemble from Pittsburgh, that helps African-American youth learn about the music and dance of Central Africa.

— The Winnipeg Children’s Choir from Manitoba, Canada, sings music in several languages from many cultures around the world.

Two local groups will also be participating in the festival.

Dancers Without Borders of Northern Michigan, directed by Cynthia Anthony, explores the history and tradition of American dance from early folk dance to hip-hop and jazz, including the influence other cultures have had on our own national dance forms. The second local group is the Little Traverse Youth Choir, directed by Heather Marvin. The choir learns music from around the world in several languages to expand their understanding of the music and people of the world — precisely what the Voices Without Borders Children of the World in Harmony minifest aims to do.

Through song, dance and music we are really all one people.

David S. Broder The Washington Post

BOSTON — Sometimes you can see events in Washington more clearly when you get out of town.

Before I came here last weekend to cover the annual summer meeting of the National Governors Association, I shared the general Beltway view that the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform is an exercise in futility.

After all, it was almost strangled at birth, when a half-dozen Republican senators who had endorsed the idea of a bipartisan panel to tackle the deficit and debt problem reneged and voted against it, only to see President Obama rescue it by executive order.

The odds seemed hopelessly stacked against its finding the needed 14 votes among its 18 members in order to send a package to Congress for the promised up-or-down vote in December.

But then I heard the commission co-chairmen, Alan Simpson, a former Republican senator from Wyoming, and Erskine Bowles, a former Clinton White House chief of staff, brief the governors for an hour. I shared the reaction of Mike Beebe, the governor of Arkansas, who said.

“I don’t know that I ever heard a gloomier picture painted that created more hope for me.”

Together, Bowles and Simpson laid out a scenario of a growing gap between the demands on government and its available resources that “is like a cancer,” as Bowles put it.

The commission may be a bad

David S. Broder National political correspondent The Washington Post

joke in Washington, but it was clear that the governors — many struggling already with recession-bred budget crises — take it very seriously.

Like Beebe, they found hope in the fact that, however tough the odds, Simpson and Bowles have created an environment in which serious people are grappling seriously with the biggest domestic challenge facing government.

What I learned from them — and several commission members interviewed back in Washington — is that they have pooled their very disparate talents: Simpson, cloaking his blunt cowboy directness in good humor; Bowles, a walking-computer of a number-cruncher with the patience and tact of a Southern squire.

The trust they have found in each other is increasingly shared among commission members.

Republican Rep. Dave Camp of Michigan, who is accustomed to the roughhouse tactics of the House, has been welcomed by Democratic Sen. Kent Conrad of North Dakota. Andrew Stern, the feisty former president of the Service Employees International Union, has found common ground with archconservative Republican Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma in wanting to scrutinize Pentagon spending. And

David Cote, the chairman of Honeywell International, has impressed Alice Rivlin, the brainy Democratic former director of the Office of Management and Budget, with his insistence on action.

Sen. Judd Gregg of New Hampshire, a co-sponsor of the bill creating the commission and now a member, told me that many of the Capitol Hill commissioners have been meeting almost weekly, searching for the path forward.

Nothing has been negotiated yet, and all kinds of pitfalls loom, but the outlines of possible future agreements are becoming clear.

On nondefense discretionary spending, Obama already has proposed a three-year freeze that could set the pattern for a longerterm compact.

Social Security has been studied so thoroughly that commission members say “there are 34 ways” to balance the books, once the political trade-offs are accepted.

Health care will be the biggest challenge on the spending side, with some Democrats — and apparently the White House — resigned to the fact that the painfully negotiated 2010 law will have to be reopened to strengthen badly needed cost controls, no matter how awful the prospect of resuming that debate.

On revenues, Republican members are “keeping an open mind,” rather than repeating their rote objections to any taxes. Bowles is helping them by suggesting that no taxes increase before 2012,

Obama’s next act Charles Krauthammer The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — In the political marketplace, there’s now a run on Obama shares. The left is disappointed with the president.

Independents are abandoning him in droves. And the right is already dancing on his political grave, salivating about November when, his own press secretary admitted Sunday, Democrats might lose the House.

I have a warning for Republicans: Don’t underestimate Barack Obama.

Consider what he has already achieved. Obamacare alone makes his presidency historic.

It has irrevocably changed onesixth of the economy, put the country inexorably on the road to national health care and, as acknowledged by Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus but few others, begun one of the most massive wealth redistributions in U.S. history.

Second, there is major financial reform, which passed Congress on Thursday. Economists argue whether it will prevent meltdowns and bailouts as promised.

But there is no argument that it will give the government unprecedented power in the financial marketplace. Its 2,300 pages will create at least 243 new regulations that will affect not only, as many assume, the big banks but just about everyone including, as noted in one summary (The Wall Street Journal), “storefront check cashiers, city governments, small

manufacturers, homebuyers and credit bureaus.”

Third is the near $1 trillion stimulus, the largest spending bill in U.S. history. And that’s not even counting nationalizing the student loan program, regulating carbon emissions by EPA fiat, and still-fitful attempts to pass cap-and-trade through Congress.

But Obama’s most far-reaching accomplishment is his structural alteration of the U.S. budget. The stimulus, the vast expansion of domestic spending, the creation of ruinous deficits as far as the eye can see are not easily reversed.

These are not mere temporary countercyclical measures. They are structural deficits because, as everyone from Obama on down admits, the real money is in entitlements, most specifically Medicare and Medicaid. But Obamacare freezes these out as a source of debt reduction.

Obamacare’s $500 billion in Medicare cuts and $600 billion in tax increases are siphoned away for a new entitlement — and no longer available for deficit reduction.

The result? There just isn’t enough to cut elsewhere to preSee KRAUTHAMMER on PAGE A5 NEWSROOM Neil Stilwell design/wire editor

Letter from our readers Pick a little, talk a little ...

Editor: An answer to the guest commentary of July 9 by Anne Billiard of Alanson — where the heck do you find your information?

While true that Clinton left office with a $127 billion budget surplus and G.W. Bush (after 8 years in office, a Democrat majority in both houses passing bills, the 9/11 attack on our country with its associated costs, and the devastating costs of Katrina) left with a $482 billion deficit. According to the Washington Examiner, Obama’s 2009 budget deficit will be larger than all budget deficits from 2002-2007 — combined. Obama’s first year

deficit was over twice that of Bush’s entire 8 years and his 2010 deficit will be twice that total once again.

So, in his first two years in office, Obama’s deficit will be quadruple Bush”s entire deficit of 8 years. Obama has a spending problem which will leave a huge debt for our grandchildren to pay. Obama is more interested in deficit spending than in deficit reduction.

Were Obama to be in office 8 years, the projected new deficit would be $10.6 trillion.

America would accumulate more government debt under Obama than under every president in American history, from George Washington to George W. Bush — combined.

Even the chamber of commerce has taken Obama to task for giving no incentives to businesses to expand or hire.

We are the laughingstock of a significant portion of the world who have lost respect for America and sees Obama as “weak.”

Transparency? Where? This is the least transparent and the most devious administration ever.

Finally — let me know in a year or so how much you like your new health care, unless, of course, we are lucky enough to get it repealed. The rest of your talking points were just that — talking points.

Lost Korean War battalion awaits U.S. MIA decision Charles J. Hanley AP Special Correspondent

S E O U L , S o u t h Ko re a — Trapped by two Chinese divisions, troops of the 8th U.S. Cavalry Regiment were left to die in far northern Korea, abandoned by the U.S. command in a Korean War episode viewed as one of the most troubling in American military history.

Sixty years later those fallen soldiers, the lost battalion of Unsan, are stranded anew.

North Korea is offering fresh clues to their remains.

American teams are ready to re-enter the north to dig for them. But for five years the U.S. government has refused to work with North Korea to recover the men of Unsan and others among more than 8,000 U.S. missing in action from the 1950-53 war.

N ow, u n d e r p re s s u re from MIA family groups, the Obama administration is said to be moving slowly to reverse the Bush administration’s suspension of the joint recovery program, a step taken in 2005 as the North Korean nuclear crisis dragged on.

“If I had a direct line in to the president, I would say,’Please reinstitute this program. There are families that need closure,”’ said Ruth Davis, 61, of Palestine, Texas, whose uncle, Sgt. 1st Class Benny Don Rogers, has been listed as MIA since Chinese attackers overran his company — I Company, 8th Cavalry — at Unsan in late 1950.

It was one of Rogers’ I Company comrades, Pfc. Philip W. Ackley of Hillsboro, New Hampshire, whose identifying dog tag appeared in a photo the Nor th Koreans handed over at Korea’s Panmunjom truce village in January of this 60th year since the war

started. The North Koreans also delivered photos of remains, a stark reminder that Unsan’s dead still wait to come home.

The U.S. “has developed the humanitarian issue into a political problem,” complained a North Korean statement urging resumption of the MIA search project, which earned hard currency for the Pyongyang government.

The devastating losses at Unsan, in early November 1950, came as China intervened to fend off a final North Korean defeat. In a last letter home, dated Oct. 30, Rogers told his parents, “It is a lot better over here, but it’s not over yet.”

The U.S. command had ignored intelligence reports that China’s army was moving south, and Rogers and the 8th Cavalry had been sent too far north, just 80 kilometers (50 miles) from China, where they stumbled into a closing enemy vise.

Higher headquarters rejected requests for a pullback, then refused to send artillery forward to support a rescue effort. Finally, it ordered the rescue force withdrawn.

Two of the 8th Cavalry’s three battalions managed to escape, with heavy losses.

But only small bands from the five companies of the doomed 3rd Battalion made it out as waves of Chinese infantry attacked their 200meter-wide (200-yard-wide) defense perimeter.

The 8th Cavalry’s abandonment at Unsan became an infamous chapter in Army annals — “one of the most shameful and little-known incidents in U.S. military history,” wrote Korean War historian Jack J. Gifford.

Some 600 of the 3rd Battalion’s 800 men were lost, about half believed killed and half captured, many of whom died in Chinese-run

prison camps.

The U.S. and North Korea established the MIA search in 1996 after lengthy negotiations. Over nine years, working across North Korea, the joint teams recovered 229 sets of remains believed to be those of Americans, including 14 subsequently identified as 3rd Battalion men.

But an estimated 260 U.S. dead are still unaccounted for at Unsan, among almost 4,600 U.S. MIAs in North Korea, the Pentagon’s Defense POW/MIA Office says.

When then-Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld suspended the program in 2005, officials cited what they said were concerns about the security of American personnel working on the territory of a longtime U.S. adversary.

Richard Lawless, the former Pentagon official who recommended the move, defends it today, telling The Associated Press it was a “prudent decision” because the U.S. field teams “were potential high-value hostages as the North Korean nuclear crisis deepened.”

The MIA support groups rejected that rationale, saying they suspected President George W. Bush’s administration instead wanted to break the lone working link with North Korea and pressure Pyongyang in the nuclear showdown.

“This safety aspect from the Pentagon sounds like so much hogwash,” said former 3rd Battalion sergeant Robert J. Earl, 82, of Federal Way, Washington. Earl was not at Unsan, having been wounded earlier, and for years he has sought information on his 8th Cavalry mortar platoon, all of whom may have perished.

Stepping up their lobbying in Washington last year, the MIA families appear to have made headway with the new

administration.

“I’m in touch with everyone there, and they all support restoring the program,” said Frank Metersky, 77, a Marine veteran of the war and longtime MIA campaigner.

Larry Greer, spokesman for the Defense POW/MIA Office, said officials are “evaluating” a possible resumption. Other administration officials have pointedly referred to the recovery program as a humanitarian mission unrelated to political considerations. But the recent furor over North Korea’s alleged torpedoing of a South Korean warship “has stopped everything in its tracks for now,” Metersky said.

Nevertheless, U.S. specialists sound ready.

“We are prepared to resume operations in (North Korea) and will request access to the Unsan area,” the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command in Hawaii, home to the field teams, said in its latest annual report.

Its forensic experts, meanwhile, continue the laborious work of DNA identification of remains returned years ago, like those of Master Sgt. Roy Earl Head of the 7th Infantry Division, finally identified, brought home and buried June 5 in a family cemetery in Grit Hill, Virginia.

“It’s remarkable, after 59 years,” said brother David Head, 71, of Kingsport, Tennessee.

All his life he thought daily about Roy, he said. His mind turned sympathetically to others.

“There are still a lot more families out there who might not ever find out, or get the closure we will get,” Head said.

A5 KRAUTHAMMER FROM A4 vent national insolvency.

That will require massive tax increases — most likely a European-style valueadded tax. Just as President Reagan cut taxes to starve the federal government and prevent massive growth in spending, Obama’s wild spending — and quarantining health-care costs from providing possible relief — will necessitate huge tax increases.

The net effect of 18 months of Obamaism will be to undo much of Reaganism. Both presidencies were highly ideological, grandly ambitious and often underappreciated by their own side. In his early years, Reagan was bitterly attacked from his right.

(Typical Washington Post headline: “For Reagan and the New Right, the Honeymoon Is Over” — and that was six months into his presidency!) Obama is attacked from his left for insufficient zeal on gay rights, immigration reform, closing Guantanamo — the list is long. The critics don’t understand the big picture.

Obama’s transformational agenda is a play in two acts.

Act One is over. The stimulus, Obamacare, financial reform have exhausted his first-term mandate. It will bear no more heavy lifting.

And the Democrats will pay the price for ideological overreaching by losing one

or both houses, whether de facto or de jure. The rest of the first term will be spent consolidating these gains (writing the regulations, for example) and preparing for Act Two. The next burst of ideological energy — massive regulation of the energy economy, federalizing higher education and “comprehensive” immigration reform (i.e., amnesty) — will require a second mandate, meaning re-election in 2012.

That’s why there’s so much tension between Obama and the congressional Democrats. For Obama, 2010 matters little. If Democrats lose control of one or both houses, Obama will likely have an easier time in 2012, just as Bill Clinton used Newt Gingrich and the Republicans as his foil for his 1996 re-election campaign.

Obama is down, but it’s very early in the play. Like Reagan, he came here to do things. And he’s done much in his first 500 days.

What he has left to do he knows must await his next 500 days — those that come after re-election.

2012 is the real prize.

Obama sees far, farther than even his own partisans. Republicans underestimate him at their peril.

BRODER FROM A4 and that ideally, revenues should be raised and spending should be lowered so they balance at no more than 21 percent of the gross domestic product. Also, he suggested that two-thirds to three-quarters of the savings should come from the spending side, not new taxes; that tax expenditures (loophole closing) could make a major contribution, as they did in the 1986 deal

under Ronald Reagan; and that no value-added tax should be imposed without cutting current levies.

Before any decisions are made, an election looms, and then a series of votes testing whether a 14-vote consensus can be found.

But contrary to what Washington thinks, there is hope.

INDIAN RIVER

Jerry Lynn Joneson, 75 Jerry Lynn Joneson, 75, passed away peacefully in his home overlooking Little Traverse Bay in Petoskey on July 2, 2010, in the presence of family members who loved him dearly.

Jerry was born Nov. 17, 1934, in Miami, Fla., to Jonas and Dorothy (Poland) Joneson.

Shortly thereafter the family moved to Muskegon.

Jerry loved the water and was a lifeguard for five summers on the beach at Lake Michigan. Jerry graduated from Muskegon Senior High School in 1953 and the University of Michigan in 1959 with a degree in political science.

After he married the former Nancy Klang in Muskegon in 1959 they lived in Muskegon where Jerry was a caseworker for Muskegon County Social Services. Four years later, he had the opportunity to move to Petoskey to become the director of Social Services for Emmet County, where he worked for 33 years until he retired. His proudest accomplishment as director was to encourage the county board to build a care facility which is now known as Bay Bluffs in Harbor Springs.

Jerry always considered moving to Petoskey to be one of the best decisions he ever made. He enjoyed many things in life, including his wonderful community of Petoskey and his home’s amazing view of beautiful Lake Michigan and Little Traverse Bay. He loved the many bodies of water in the area, swimming across Little Traverse Bay twice and the Straits of Mackinac one Labor Day morning.

He loved just about every style of music, from Merle Haggard to Brahams’ Requiem. It was a very big part of his life,

having sung in the choir in high school, the Cosmopolitan Male Singers in Muskegon, various different choirs in the Petoskey Joneson area and, most faithfully, the Petoskey United Methodist Choir in which he sang for more than 40 years.

Jerry had been a past president of the Petoskey Lions Club, a member of the Methodist Men and the Petoskey United Methodist Church.

Jerry is survived by his wife of 51 years, Nancy; his four children, Melissa of Petoskey, Jeff of Harbor Springs, Jennifer (Falaniko Vitolio) of Pago Pago, American Samoa, and Eric (Kathy) of Mason; five extraordinary, adoring grandchildren, Kelsey and Katherine Stark, Evan and Greta Joneson and Punipuao Vitolio who will help to keep his spirit, humor and wit both alive and ever-present; his two sisters, Jone (Norman) Erickson of Muskegon and Julie (Harry) Wierenga of North Muskegon; his brother, Kingsley (Evelyn) of Seattle, Wash.; sister-in-law, Sally (Larry) Robson of East Grand Rapids; and many nieces and nephews.

Dr. James Mitchum will lead a memorial service celebrating Jerry’s life at 11 a.m. Saturday, July 31, at the Petoskey United Methodist Church. A reception will follow.

Memorial contributions can be made in lieu of flowers to Hospice of Little Traverse Bay or the Petoskey United Methodist Chancel Choir.

Family and friends are encouraged to share condolences or memories of Jerry online at www.stonefuneralhomeinc. com.

dollars had been pushed on the state by hotel companies, chambers of commerce and other tourismbased groups.

“I wouldn’t want the state of Michigan funding advertising for computer companies and other sectors of our economy,” Lennox said.

Democrat Greg Dean, a self-employed consultant from Elmira, said he agreed with Lennox a “great deal.”

“It’s not part of core founding of our government to be supporting specific sectors of our economy,” Dean said. “If we do, we should be looking at all sectors of the economy.”

Dean said he would much prefer to see the money spent on “viable” economic development in such areas as skill training.

“I think it is the role for government to create a good environment for business and bring more opportunities for this state,” said

Republican Triston Cole, a farmer from Mancelona.

Cole said he would support a per manent source for funding, adding that he doesn’t believe it picks “winners and losers.”

For mer meteorolo gist Greg MacMaster, of Kewadin, also endorsed a longterm funding source for the program, although neither he nor Cole mentioned a specific source for the funds.

MacMaster cited states such as Illinois and Wisconsin having large tourism ad campaigns.

“We need to be just as aggressive,” he said, adding that after the initial few years the program would become self-sustaining by the new tax revenues it would produce.

“It’s really the branding that’s important,” said Republican businessman Tim Boyko, of Charlevoix.

A similar proposal was cosponsored by Rep. Gary McDowell, D-Rudyard, in the winter, but ultimately was scrubbed in the Senate for a temporary general fund infusion.

“What we are doing is being venture capitalists and creating that spark to get that campaign going,” Boyko said.

Lennox responded later during the forum, condemning his opponents for proposing to “increase taxes” to fund an advertising campaign.

“Where’s that money going to come from? Michigan is broke,” he said.

Free credit counseling workshop planned

■ Business offers

septic service Robert White Staff Writer

Owner Ryan Flynn sees R&M Septic Pumping Service as a natural extension of the services his family’s business has offered in the Petoskey area for decades.

R&M, based at 340 Maplewood Road, recently began operating alongside Flynn’s Excavating Service.

For the past 15 years.

Flynn’s has installed septic tanks and drain fields, and has often received inquiries from people needing system

maintenance.

In the past, the business had to call on other companies to pump the septic tank so it could do the repair work.

Now, said Flynn, “We can do it all.”

“We are licensed by the state,” he added. “I had to take classes from the DNRDEQ (agencies which recently merged to become the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment) to get licensed.

“Unlike several of the septic pumping services in Northern Michigan, we do not dump the wastes on the ground. We take the wastes to a licensed ‘green’ treat-

ment plant in Charlevoix that screens the waste and eventually releases what is left into the Charlevoix Water Treatment Plant.”

Within the next five years or so, Flynn said all service providers will have to take the wastes to a treatment plant.

Along with offering septic pumping, R&M also can use a camera that can be inserted into the tank and/or field system to look for a blockage if one is expected.

Also, if s septic tank top is buried, the business can install a riser that brings the opening to grade level.

“They have come a long way with these risers” Flynn

Manufacturing cools as recovery slows

■ Factory output

drops in June

WASHINGTON (AP) — New evidence of a slowing economic rebound emerged Thursday in reports that manufacturing activity is slowing after helping drive the early stages of the recovery.

Factory output fell in June, according to a government report on industrial production. It was the sharpest monthly drop in a year. And two regional manufacturing indexes sank this month.

Production of automobiles, home-building materials and processed food all fell in June. The data sent stocks falling.

Federal Reserve officials took note of the weakening recovery when they met last month and lowered their forecast for economic growth, according to minutes released Wednesday.

Manufacturing helped boost the economy last year when the recession ended and has since been one of the strongest sectors in the recovery. June’s decline in output was the first in four months. Overall industrial production ticked up for the month, but that was mainly the result of hot weather that increased demand for electricity from utilities.

“Today’s report supports the view that the manufacturing recovery lost some

momentum,” said Peter Newland of Barclays Capital Research.

The decline in factory output came as new data offered a mixed picture of the recovery. Applications for unemployment benefits fell to 429,000, the lowest level since August 2008, the Labor Department said Thursday.

But much of that was the result of seasonal factors.

General Motors and other manufacturers skipped their usual summer shutdowns.

Se parately, the Labor Department said wholesale prices fell for a third straight month. Prices were pulled down by a drop in energy costs and the biggest plunge in food costs in eight years. But excluding those two volatile commodities, inflation was nearly flat.

The Federal Reserve report on industrial production showed that overall output at the nation’s factories, mines and utilities rose 0.1 percent in June. It was the fourth straight monthly gain. But factory output — the largest component of industrial production — dropped 0.4 percent.

Adding to concerns in the manufacturing sector were steep drops reported Thursday in the Empire State and Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing indexes.

Economists viewed the reduction in factory output as further evidence that the

economy is weakening as it enters the second half of this year.

“It is pretty clear that a slowdown is in process,” said Brian Bethune, chief U.S. financial economist for IHS Global Insight. “The healing process from a severe recession is still under way, but given the kind of trauma the economy was subjected to, it isn’t going to bounce back on a sustained basis right away.”

Bethune said the slowdown in factory production is following similar patterns in the recoveries from recessions in the early 1980s, 1990s and in 2001. The economy gets an initial boost as businesses switch from liquidating inventories to restocking. But the strength from that initial spurt wanes and leads to slower growth.

This week, the government reported that retail sales fell for the second straight month. Declining consumer spending keeps businesses from restocking their shelves. That slows fac-

tory production and overall economic growth.

Bethune said the overall economy, as measured by the gross domestic product, probably grew at an annual rate above 3 percent in the April-June quarter. But he thinks it will slow to growth of just 2.5 percent in the second half of this year.

Consumers are likely to hold back on spending until the employment picture improves.

The latest data on jobless

claims looked promising on the surface, as initial claims fell by 29,000. But much of that was the result of temporary seasonal factors. A Labor Department analyst said manufacturing companies reported fewer temporary layoffs than usual this time of year. General Motors said last month that it would forgo its customary two-week summer factory closings, which it uses to retool plants for new car models.

Governor’s race shaped by Michigan’s poor economy Kathy Barks Hoffman Associated Press Writer

LANSING — Michigan’s most wide-open governor’s race in decades has been shaped by the rise of the tea partiers, the unexpected withdrawal of Lt. John Cherry from the Democratic race and, above all, the state’s shaky economy.

Five Republicans and two Democrats are running to replace outgoing Democratic Gov. Jennifer Granholm, who’s stepping down after two terms because of term limits. Voters already unhappy about the state’s lack of jobs have been swept up in the national mood of unrest, leading to a volatile race and uncertain outcomes for both parties.

It’s the first time in years that a former or current governor or lieutenant governor isn’t among the candidates, and the first time

in nearly a century that a sitting governor or lieutenant governor hasn’t been on the primary ballot.

Among the five Re publicans, Attorney General Mike Cox hopes bigtime endorsements from Snyder the Michigan Chamber of Commerce and Right to Life of Michigan as well as hardhitting ads against some of his opponents will win Dillon him the nomination.

Former Gateway President Rick Snyder hopes his barrage of largely self-financed TV ads and stance as a moderate political outsider will help him snatch the win if GOP conservatives split their votes among the other Republicans in the race.

U.S. Rep. Pete Hoekstra

is counting on the strong west Michigan support he has earned during 18 years in Congress and some help in southeast Michigan from supporters s u c h a s U. S .

Re p. Candice Miller of Macomb CounHoekstra ty’s Harrison Township.

Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard is relying on h i s p o p u l a rity as a sheriff and for mer state senator Bouchard in one of the state’s biggest vote-getting areas and his choice of a west Michigan running mate, Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land, to nab the win — along with a possible stumble by one of his GOP rivals.

State Sen. Tom George, the GOP underdog, is making his mark with catchy one-liners and a willingness

to attack the budget plans floated by his opponents as pie-in-the-sky, noting at a recent debate that “T his is M a ck i n a c I s land, not Fantasy Island.”

All but Snyder have been actively courting the tea parGeorge tiers, who have not backed anyone in particular but are pressing candidates to oppose President Barack Oba ma ’s federal health care Bernero changes and oppose raising taxes.

On the Democratic side, Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero is hoping support from some of the state’s largest labor unions and an image as a champion of the working people who’s not part of the Statehouse gridlock will bring the party faithful his way. He also notes he’s

the only pro-choice candidate in either party.

House Speaker Andy Dillon has better name recognition than Bernero in southeast Michigan, a closer relationship with moderate business and labor Cox groups and a l e g i s l a t iv e record he says shows he thinks outside the box to help make his pitch. But he has to overcome some fear among Democratic voters that he doesn’t represent their values.

With unemployment hovering above 13.5 percent, all seven candidates have vowed to cut business taxes and create more jobs. Most voters are cynical about candidates’ promises, however.

“I don’t think anybody believes anything they hear,” says Steven Hepker, 55, of Hudson.

Many voters in both parties remain u nd ecide d

heading into the final weeks before the Aug. 3 primary election. The Republican candidates held their last debate on July 14, an event Snyder skipped. The Democrats held their last debate on June 28.

Michigan AFL-CIO President Mark Gaffney said Democratic turnout could be down because so many voters are discouraged by being out of work and the Democratic governor’s race has been relatively low-key.

State Republican Chairman Ron Weiser expects to see a lot of Republicans at the polls, drawn by the fiveway GOP race and dissatisfaction with Democratic President Barack Obama.

“Republicans are excited,” Weiser said.

All of the candidates except George, who is far down in the polls, plan to put up a barrage of television ads in the final weeks of the campaign. Voters who want to learn more also can check out the candidates’ websites and their Facebook and Twitter sites.

House approves overhaul of flood insurance program

WASHINGTON (AP) — Some subsidies would be ended and a measure of financial health would be restored under a House-approved overhaul of a program that provides flood insurance to more than 5 million homeowners and businesses in flood-prone areas.

The legislation, which approves operations of the

National Flood Insurance Program for five years, also allows for some premium and deductible increases as the program tries to recover from Katrina and other 2005 hurricanes that left it some $18.75 billion in debt to the U.S. Treasury. The measure passed 329-90 on Thursday.

The flood program, an arm of the Federal Emergency

How much does your ‘free’ credit report cost?

How do you know when “free” credit reports are actually free? Many of the “free” credit reports offered by companies often come with strings attached: hidden fees or enrollment charges when a “free” trial period ends.

In April 2010, a new rule from the Federal Trade Commission went into effect that requires websites advertising “free” credit reports to direct people to the only government-approved site for free credit reports, Ann www.annualcreChastain ditreport.com.

Prior to the new rule, other companies and websites offered “free” credit reports packaged with other services, like credit monitoring. You could access a free credit report for a trial period, and then be charged monthly for a credit monitoring service.

Unknowing consumers may pay as much as $15 each month for unwanted services.

Under the new rule, www. annualcreditreport.com is the only site offering truly free credit reports. All other companies offering credit reports must disclose their fees in advertisements.

Here are a few ways to get your free credit report: — Once every 12 months, ask each credit reporting bureau, Experian, Equifax and Transunion, for your credit report.

You can access each report through www.annualcreditreport.com — If you are a victim of identity theft or fraud, or if you are unemployed and looking for work, you can request a free report. Potential employers can pull your credit report.

— If you have been denied credit or insurance, you can request a free report.

What does this mean for you? First, if you’d just like to view your credit report to look for inaccuracies or monitor changes, you can access one report from each bureau, once every 12 months. You can either obtain all three reports, once every 12 months, or request one report from each bureau once every four months. For example, request one report from Experian in January, Equifax in May and Transunion in September.

Checking your report every four months is a good way to keep track of any changes or dispute inaccurate information in a timely manner.

In addition, if you think you are a victim of identity theft and someone is fraudulently using credit in your name, you can request a copy of your report. If you are denied credit, insurance, or employment, you’re also entitled to a free report — if you request it within 60 days of receiving notice of denial. The notice will give you contact information of the consumer reporting company and tell you how to obtain your report.

Finally, according to the Federal Trade Commission, “you’re also entitled to one free report per year if you’re unemployed and plan to look for a job within 60 days ... or if you’re on welfare.” To obtain your report because of unemployment, the commission’s website provides contact information for each of the credit bureaus at http://www.ftc. gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/ credit/cre34.shtm.

There are many reasons to obtain your credit report, and knowing how, when and where to access it for free can help keep your credit history on the right track. If you have any questions about how to obtain your report or about the information in your credit report, your local MSU Extension office is there to help.

Ann Chastain is Emmet County Extension Director. The MSU Extension column appears on the first and third Fridays of each month.

Chastain can be contacted at the Emmet County Extension office, 3434 Harbor/ Petoskey Road, Harbor Springs, Mich. 49740; telephone 348-1770.

CHARLEVOIX

Pat Tinney, this year’s Venetian artist ■ Original artwork

to be auctioned July 23 to benefit the festival Steve Zucker Charlevoix Courier Editor

CHARLEVOIX — After roughly three decades living and working here, many in Northern Michigan are familiar with Pat Tinney’s paintings. Many more will be when the 80th Venetian Festival kicks off Saturday, July 17.

Tinney, an East Jordan resident and art teacher at East Jordan Schools for the past 27 years, was the artist behind this year’s Venetian Festival art work.

For the next week and a half — and well beyond — people will see her design everywhere around Charlevoix.

And on Friday, July 23, the original work will be auctioned off following the coronation of Miss Charlevoix with the proceeds going to benefit the festival.

Tinney, who is married to local

pediatrician Dr. Rod Tinney, said she sold her first painting when she was 12 years old. She said she was sitting on a beach on the East Coast (where she grew up) painting a lighthouse and a man came along and offered her $15 for the watercolor.

She said that first sale gave her the notion that art could be her calling.

Since that time, Tinney has gone on to become an accomplished artist, working mostly in watercolors. She currently has a body of her work on display at the Dennos Museum in Traverse City.

Tinney describes herself as a plein air painter, which roughly translates to an outside, or on location painter.

And that’s exactly how she came up with this year’s Venetian design — she set up her easel along Bridge Street in downtown Charlevoix, looked around, and painted the landmarks she saw.

Up next for Tinney is her annual painting visit to Beaver Island and the Portside Art Show in East Jordan on Aug. 7-8.

INDIAN RIVER

VENETIAN SAFETY FROM A1

Festival fun

G. RANDALL GOSS / NEWS-REVIEW

Jazzmine, 3, and Adrionna Solean, 7, of Alanson, ride the Jumping Jumbo ride on the carnival midway, Thursday at the Indian River Summerfest.

The festival continues with many events scheduled throughout the weekend. SEE PAGE C4 FOR SUMMERFEST EVENT SCHEDULE.

FUNDING FROM A1

d i d at e c o n t r i bu t i o n s t o h i s campaign during the past three months. The amount, plus about $285,264 from other individuals, has the U.P. native claiming to have gathered $427,692 throughout his six-month campaign.

However, late race entry Sen. Jason Allen, R-Alanson, who entered in March, has mustered $221,968 in a short period. By contrast, Allen used only $100 of his own money, according to the report.

On the Political Action Committee front, Allen g rabbed $40,898, but Benishek claimed zero.

The specific PACs that have donated to Allen’s campaign have not yet been listed.

Allen Campaign spokesman Jeremy Hendges said they are happy with the money raised during just a few months, pointing to a strong individual donor amount of $180,970.

The Benishek campaign also

was confident with its holdings.

“I feel great about what we’ve raised this quarter and our ability to reserve those funds for the final push,” Benishek said in a statement.

On the Democratic front, uncontested candidate and state Rep. Gary McDowell, of Rudyard, netted $137,034 in the past quarter. He pulled in $49,534 from individuals, $77,500 from PACs and $10,000 in party money.

So, while dollars may not elect

politicians, purchasing power goes a long way in places in the Upper Peninsula where radio and television are the main means for piping news to remote households.

With Allen currently holding $177,249 cash-on-hand and Benishek keeping a $280,659 account, those war chests will serve them well in the next two weeks while they buy crucial advertisements and duke it out before the Aug. 3 primary.

Doan said about three years ago one of his officers was struck by a vehicle, and several years before that, a pedestrian was hit. Both sustained minor injuries.

Drivers, Doan says, need to be prepared to wait if they’re trying to get through town during the festival.

“There’s going to be delays — you’re not going to be able to get through town quickly,” he said.

“Also, during the nights of the fireworks, be aware that officers are out at intersections to help people get in and out safely.”

As far as pedestrians are concerned, Doan said they also need to be alert when attempting to cross the road.

“Always keep an eye out for vehicles,” he said. “I would recommend them to stay on the sidewalks, or cross at the crosswalks.”

When it comes to families, Doan said the most important thing is for everyone to stay together, especially if they have small children.

“Keep an eye on your kids; a few always somehow get away from their parents,” he said.

“Fortunately, we’ve always found all of them.”

Doan says another small problem his officers have is when people bring their furry friends to the celebration.

“There is an ordinance of no dogs in the park,” he said. “I recommend people not bring their dogs out — all efforts would be greatly appreciated.”

For the most part, Doan said he and his men are there to assist the public in any situation.

“We’re big ambassadors for the city,” he said. “If people have questions about where to go, or where to eat, we refer them to wherever they need to be.

“On our behalf, we look forward to another safe and successful year — we hope people enjoy themselves.”

PETOSKEY COUNCIL FROM A1

On Monday, city staff will ask for the council to continue with its review of the proposal, with the possibility that action could be taken during the meeting.

This code’s stated intent is to provide “minimum maintenance standards for basic equipment, light, ventilation, heating, sanitation and fire safety” in the affected properties. It would apply to residential — rental as well as owneroccupied — and non-residential structures within the city.

The Inter national Property Maintenance Code wouldn’t mandate that city officials systematically inspect local properties for violations. But city manager Dan Ralley has noted that a code official would have the option of entering a property with a “reasonable cause” showing to inspect and perform duties called for in the code.

If the code is adopted locally as proposed, staff have said investigations of potential violations could be triggered in three ways: — if a complaint is received by the city;

— if a code violation is visible on the exterior of a property; or, — if a possible violation is discovered incidentally when a public safety officer is responding to an unrelated complaint at a property.

During recent council meetings, several audience members have raised concerns that it might prove costly to bring buildings into compliance with code provisions.

But unless the use of a structure changes or conditions are deemed dangerous, the manager has said the code wouldn’t force older structures to comply with modern standards.

Violations of the code would be treated as municipal civil infractions, punishable by fines.

The city has updated the proposed code to specify that appeals could be made through Petoskey’s zoning board of appeals when violations are found, with the cost for pursuing such an appeal set at $100.

In other business Monday, the city manager will provide an update on the proposal for a public

safety station along the Bay Harbor resort corridor. This would be located at the former Western Concrete Products site along U.S. 31 near Bay Harbor’s main entrance.

The update will include revised design plans for the proposed station, as well as possible funding options for financing the project.

Also on Monday, the council will: — consider an update to the schedule of fines for municipal civil infractions. This would add a list of fines — $100 for first offense, $250 for second and $500 for third — for fire prevention code violations, which were omitted from the last update to the fine schedule. Final action would be taken at a later meeting; and — consider authorizing a traffic order to make the intersection of Jackson Street and Ingalls Avenue an all-way stop. Staff recently put this arrangement in place on a trial basis, and have concluded that the all-way stop designation would be the best solution to make the intersection safer for public use.

Points of clarification Petoskey city staff and legal counsel plan to provide clarification about portions of the International Property Maintenance Code that have generated questions and concerns from the city council and community members.

Examples of these areas, and staff responses provided in a memo to the council, are as follows.

DEADBOLT LOCKS: The proposed code would require deadbolt locks for dwelling units that are rented or leased, but is silent with regard to deadbolt locks for owner-occupied structures. For emergency egress purposes, it also specifies that such locks be “readily openable” from the inside of the structure without the use of a key or specialized knowledge.

ELECTRICAL WIRING: The proposed ordinance states that electrical requirements should be dictated by the size and usage of appliances and equipment inside the home. The code further requires dwelling units must be served by grounded electrical services that are not less than 60 amps in size, and that every habitable space must be served

by two separate receptacle outlets. The code does not require that individual outlets are grounded inside of the home, or specify the type of wiring to be used in the home, other than it must be safe and free from defect or hazard.

EXTERIOR STRUCTURE: The proposed ordinance requires that “the exterior of a structure shall be maintained in good repair, structurally sound and sanitary so as not to pose a threat to public health, safety or welfare.” The code states that “all exterior surfaces … shall be maintained in good condition.”

The plain language of the code does not suggest that exterior surfaces have to be in perfect condition, only good condition, and the code commentary notes that protective treatments prevent more extensive damage that can result if surfaces are not properly protected from the elements.

ROOM SIZE: The proposed ordinance would require bedrooms to be at least 70 square feet in size and living quarters at least 120 square feet in size. The 2006 code

commentary notes that 70 square feet “is barely enough space for a regular-sized bed and dresser.”

SMOKE DETECTORS: The proposed ordinance requires smoke detectors in all structures.

At a previous meeting, questions were raised about when hardwired smoke detectors would be required. The IPMC does not change the existing standard established by the State Building Code. The Building Code only requires hard-wired smoke detectors in either a new structure or in a building that is undergoing extensive renovations.

WINDOWS: The IPMC requires rooms to have windows of a size that are equal to or greater than 8 percent of the floor area of the room. Artificial lighting and mechanical ventilation can be used in lieu of windows to meet this 8 percent standard.

Unless the use of a structure changes or conditions are deemed dangerous, the manager has said the code wouldn’t force older structures to comply with modern standards.

Venetian boat parade and fireworks light up the night in this photo taken circa 1950.

VENETIAN HISTORY FROM A1 they really needed to keep the festival and the fireworks going because it was just a big homecoming and everyone wanted it to continue.”

Davenport, who served as Charlevoix’s recreation director for several years, and was a longtime coach and athletic director at Ferris State University, began really working on the festival in the late 1990s in an attempt to bring in more competitive events.

He also helped take the festival from just a weekend, to a weeklong event.

“At the time, we had a few things going on like the basketball tournament and the road race,” Davenport explained.

“But as junior golf director, and being involved in tennis, I helped bring that to the mix, and then added the softball tournament, and so on. We’ve just added so many things over the years it’s hard to even list them all.”

One of the most popular sporting events during the festival is the Ryan Shay Memorial Mile.

The race is dedicated to marathon runner, Ryan Shay, a graduate of Central Lake High School.

Shay died while competing in the 2007 Olympic Marathon trials in New York City.

“The name is just so well known in this area, and so many come out to watch the race, it’s really quite a sight,” Davenport said.

The race is by invitation only, and prize money is awarded to the winners. This year, three Kenyan runners are scheduled to compete.

“We’ve actually had to turn

some very successful collegiate runners away which is always hard to do,” Davenport said.

“We’ve had phone calls from coaches asking why their successful runners aren’t able to compete, but we only have so much room.”

The festival is run by volunteers. This year, Miller estimates that there are more than 400.

“We’ve had some of the same volunteers help year after year,” Miller said. “It really shows that this is a community event and how important it is to the city.”

Davenport joked that he has been a festival volunteer since a very young age.

“My father was the chamber director when I was little, and he had gone out and sold all this advertising for the festival brochure,” Davenport explained.

“We were in his office as the fireworks were going off, and here was the stack of brochures.

He forgot to pass them out. So my sister and I ran and handed them to everyone we could. So I guess you could say I’ve been a festival volunteer for a long, long time.”

Both Davenport and Miller said it’s that spirit held by hundreds of festival volunteers, that has really kept the festival going all these years.

“The volunteers really take pride in all they do and they do it well,” Miller explained. “It’s really what makes this such a great event and brings in thousands of people to our town every year.”

Andrews sues hotel chains CHICAGO — Erin Andrews has sued several hotel chains for negligence and invasion of privacy in connection with the secret videotaping of her by an Illinois man.

The videos were taken through a modified peephole while the ESPN reporter was undressed in hotel rooms in Nashville, Tenn. and Milwaukee in 2008.

Andrews filed the lawsuit in Cook County court in Chicago against Marriott International, Radisson Hotels International and other chains. Also named was Michael David Barrett, who pleaded guilty to interstate stalking.

OAKLAND, Calif. — Golden State Warriors owner Chris Cohan reached an agreement to sell the franchise for a record $450 million to Boston Celtics minority partner Joe Lacob and Mandalay Entertainment CEO Peter Guber.

Lacob and Guber put in a bid that broke the record for the largest sale in league history, topping the $401 million Robert Sarver paid to buy the Phoenix Suns in 2004.

GOLF

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — This year, it’s Mark Calcavecchia doing the old guys proud.

The 1989 British Open champion posted the early low score of the day with a 5-under 67 Friday, his best round ever at the Old Course. He was still five strokes back with first-round leader Rory McIlroy not even at the course, but it’s pretty good for a guy making the shuffle to the senior tour after turning 50 on June 12.

“It’s confidence,” Calcavecchia said. “You see a guy like Tom Watson last year almost winning at 60. It doesn’t really matter how old you are if you’re feeling good about what you’re doing.

be done between now and Aug. 10, the day players report at NMU. “We have a lot of work to get done so I left (Chicago) immediately,” Boss said. “It’s a g good opportunity to get my first fulltime job at a Division II school, espeically at my alma mater, that’s everybody’s dream. Everybody wants to be able to go back.”

Boss said leaving the Rush so late in the season, and with a playoff berth looming, wasn’t an easy decision, but it’s the right one for him.

“This was a decision I made for my future,” he said. “I accomplished a lot during my playing career and I enjoyed it. Coaching is equally as gratifying for me, teaching these young players the game that I enjoyed so much and that gave me a lot.”

Among Boss’ duties, as it is for all college coaches, is recruiting.

He said he isn’t sure what his geographical territory will be, but it may include the Northern Lower Peninsula. For now, he is busy with administrative duties, working on late-season recruiting, meeting with the coaching staff and, in particular, the Wildcats’ new offensive coordinator, Chris Ostrowsky.

That’s today, tomorrow, and the next day for Boss. Down the road?

Who knows. Coaching is a fickle business and those in it generally live a nomadic lifestyle as they climb the ladder.

“As far as being a head caoch I think that’s everybody’s dream,” Boss said. “You want to be able to call your own shots. I would like to be successful here and maybe move up to the Division I level and see where it goes.

“My goal is just to be successful wherever I’m at.”

ob Boss’ football playing days would appear to be over.

Boss, a 2002 Charlevoix High School graduate, is the new offensive line coach at Northern Michigan University.

Last time we checked — just two weeks ago — Boss had been named the Arena Football League’s Offensive Player of the Week. The Rush, at the time, was on its way to clinching a playoff spot as its regular season wound down.

A 68-60 loss at Tampa Bay on July 2 turned out to be Boss’ final professional football game. He left Chicago shortly thereafter for an interview in Marquette with NMU head coach Bernie Anderson. Anderson offered Boss the job on the spot, and he Andy accepted.

Sneddon Boss knew when he applied for the job at NMU that he may have to leave the Rush late in the season, but it was something he had to do to secure his longterm future.

There are only a few weeks remaining in the Arena League season and, at 10-4, the Rush is headed to the playoffs. The coaching move is the start of what could be a long career on the sidelines for Boss, an NMU grad.

He said Thursday Boss that unless an offer from, say, an NFL team comes along, his playing days are finished.

“You can definitely coach for a lot longer than you can play,” said Boss, 26, who coached NMU’s defensive line last season while the Arena League suspended operations. At that time, Boss was also finishing his final semester en route to earning a Bachelor of Science in chemistry from NMU. Boss said there is much work to

RICHMOND, Va. — The trustee in Michael Vick’s bankruptcy case is seeking repayment of at least $2 million that the NFL quarterback doled out to friends and family members in the months before he was sent to federal prison for running a dogfighting operation.

A complaint filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court says Vick knew his lucrative career was in jeopardy and that he would be facing huge legal bills, yet he continued to shower friends and relatives with gifts and cash. Those assets, trustee Joseph J. Luzinski argues, should have gone to Vick’s creditors.

Cheboygan, which went unbeaten in the district, advances to the state tourna-

Byers hit a three-run homer to lead Petoskey at the plate, while Mesnard singled and doubled, and Trevor Wilson and Blake Coston each singled.

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) — The name on his passport — Lodewicus Theodorus — sounds like it belongs in a Wagner opera.

His nickname among friends — Shrek — is not much better.

Louis Oosthuizen found a better way to make a name for himself Friday at St. Andrews, where he carefully navigated the Old Course through light wind and short spells of rain for a 5-under 67 to take the early lead in the British Open.

A long putt through the Valley of Sin on the 18th hole, and the birdie putt from just inside 15 feet that followed, put the 27-year-old South African at 12-under 132. He was three shots clear of Rory McIlroy, who had to face increasing wind in the afternoon.

I think old guys can hang with the young guys.”

And nowhere, it seems, is age merely a number than at the British Open.

Two years ago, Greg Norman nearly won his third claret jug at 53, taking a twoshot lead into the final round at Royal Birkdale. Watson’s showing at Turnberry last year was even more amazing.

A few months shy of his 60th birthday, he went to the 72nd hole with a one-stroke lead.

Both fell short of becoming the oldest major champion in golf history, a title that still belongs to Julius Boros, who was 48 when he captured the 1968 PGA. Now it’s up to Calcavecchia to see if he can finish the senior surge.

miscue — if you can call it that — in his bogey-free round Friday came on 17.

After eagling the Road Hole on Thursday, he missed an 8footer for birdie Friday.

“I always enjoy the Open.

Having not played well at St. Andrews in the past doesn’t mean anything to me,” said Calcavecchia, whose previous best round at St. Andrews was a 69 in 2000. “I know the course and I got a few good breaks out there, missed a couple of bunkers by a couple of yards, and it’s a difference of a couple of shots. Your ball rolls into one of those things, and who knows what you’re going to make.

“You need a few good breaks out here, and so far I’ve gotten them.”

Calcavecchia said. “I didn’t really think about where I was going to be in the tournament, there’s still six hours of tee times left. I’m just happy to have a tee time for tomorrow.”

While the monstrous lengths at U.S. Open courses and even Augusta National often take their toll on the senior set — heck, they’re tough on the youngsters, too — nowhere does experience matter more than at a links course, where fickle weather, deceptive greens and fairways filled with humps and bumps make every hole an adventure.

Calcavecchia hasn’t played the other majors in two years. But he’s missed only two cuts at the British Open since 1999. The only real

tion coming in the 2008 PGA Championship at Oakland Hills, where he finished last.

“It wasn’t very great, was it?” said Oosthuizen, flashing the gap-tooth grin that earned him the Shrek moniker. “It was a matter of not believing in myself, I think.

Everyone around here is telling me, ’You’ve got the shots, you’re playing well.’ And again, that win earlier this season just got my mind set in a different way.”

He won his first European Tour event in Spain this

spring, his fourth victory worldwide.

The South African most would have expected atop the leaderboard was Ernie Els, and in a way, Els was a part of this. If not for the Ernie Els Foundation in South Africa, Oosthuizen might not be at St. Andrews, or anywhere in golf.

Oosthuizen comes from a tennis-mad family, but quickly switched to golf when he put a club in his hand. The trouble came with finances, for the travel required to develop his game proved to be too much for the son of a farmer. That was about the time the Ernie Els & Fancourt Foundation began to identify young South Africans from families of limited resources.

He was 17 when he began with the foundation, leaving when he turned pro.

“It was unbelievable what he did for me, traveling around the country, helping with expenses, things like that,” Oosthuizen said. “He’s such a good mentor. And probably without him, those three years I’ve been in his foundation, I wouldn’t have been here.”

LACROSSE

TOUR DE FRANCE Ron Cogan (center) and Isaiah Kicknosway (left) join other members of the Iroquois Nationals lacrosse team at Battery Park, Thursday, in New York. The American Indian lacrosse team whose Iroquois-issued passports have been at the heart of an international dispute are holding out hope they’ll be allowed into England to compete in a second game set for Saturday.

Iroquois lacrosse team sits in New York, awaits ruling Samantha Gross Associated Press

NEW YORK — There were cheers and hollers aboard the Iroquois Nationals lacrosse team bus as the players geared up for a very different encounter from what they had planned for Day 1 of the World Lacrosse Championships in England.

Instead, with the Statue of Liberty in the background, team members got into uniform Thursday and filed out of the bus to pose for a gaggle of journalists and repeat their case for a few TV cameras: They should be allowed into England for the games using their Iroquois-issued passports. Why would the British demand they use U.S. and Canadian passports when they don’t consider themselves citizens of those nations?

On Friday, they awaited word of whether they would be granted permission to travel to Manchester, England, in time to play their second tournament game, scheduled for Saturday afternoon. The team defaulted on its first game, against England, when it didn’t arrive in time on Thursday.

Negotiators for the team have been pursuing diplomatic channels, and on Thursday team chairman Oren Lyons sounded a hopeful note.

“There is movement in our discussions with the U.K.,” the Onondaga Nation chief said in a statement. “We

“For my people, it’s an ongoing battle for us. It’s still htere.

It’s always going to be there.”

— Jeremy Thompson Lacrosse player don’t know if we can resolve the issues in time for us to make our next game.”

But a spokesman for Britain’s Home Office who spoke on condition of anonymity in keeping with ministry rules said later in the day in London that its stance had not changed and that a change was highly unlikely overnight.

For the team’s 23 players, it was another day of spending more time on a bus rather than on the field playing the sport the Iroquois helped invent as much as 1,000 years ago.

As their bus pulled up to the park housing the ferry boarding point for visitors headed to the Statue of Liberty, one player joked he’d found the easiest way to circumvent all the team’s difficulties: “We’re taking the ferry all the way, boys.”

Once the team was out among the tourists, a few passers-by stopped to cheer the players, whose faces have been everywhere except England in the last few days as the dispute over their passports became an international issue.

“They ought to let them go,” said Jon Shebar, an avid

lacrosse fan. What’s at stake, he said, is “the dignity of the people and to be recognized as a nation.”

Others stepped in to offer their support as well. A lacrosse club on Long Island invited the team for a barbecue and pickup game.

The team, ranked No. 4 in the world by the Federation of International Lacrosse, planned to make use of its field for practice Thursday evening.

And film director James Cameron donated $50,000 to help the players cover the ballooning costs of their stay in New York — already extended four days beyond their original flight.

On Sunday, U.S. authorities refused to accept the passports issued by the Iroquois Confederacy because they lack security features required for border crossings amid post-Sept. 11, 2001, crackdowns on document fraud and illegal immigration.

After days of negotiation, the U.S. cleared the team Wednesday for travel on a one-time waiver at the behest of Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who as New York senator once represented some Iroquois lands.

But hours later, the British government said the team wouldn’t be allowed in without U.S. or Canadian passports.

The Department of State said Thursday it had failed to persuade the British government to allow the team to

travel.

Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said U.S. officials made it clear that the team would be allowed to reenter the U.S. when its visit to England was completed.

Despite those assurances, the British government decided to disallow entry for the team members, Crowley said.

“We did our best from our point of view to satisfy the initial concerns that the U.K. had,” he said.

Crowley described the decision as unsurprising, and he said both governments share the view that the Iroquois ultimately must have internationally recognized travel documents.

Team lawyer Tonya Gonnella Frichner said the Iroquois have almost completed a transition to higher-security passports. The process has cost the six-nation confederacy more than $1.5 million, she said.

For the team, the frustrations of the week and any disappointments still to come will serve a purpose, player Jeremy Thompson said.

“We kind of look down seven generations,” he said, repeating a phrase he has heard often from his parents, grandparents and even great-grandparents. “Whatever precedent we set here is going to help generations down the road.”

“For my people, it’s an ongoing battle for us,” he said.

“It’s still there. It’s always going to be there.”

Rider booted for head-butting foe BOURG-LES-VALENCE, France (AP) — Mark Cavendish provided a feel-good story when he broke down in tears after winning the 5th stage of the Tour de France a week ago.

Cavendish, who also won Stage 6, had his third stage win of this year’s Tour marred by the actions of a teammate.

Mark Renshaw was expelled from the Tour for illegally head-butting a rival in a frenzied final sprint in the 11th stage won by Cavendish on Thursday.

Andy Schleck of Luxembourg retained the overall lead, cruising into the finish in the pack after riding part of the stage discussing a vacation with his main rival for the title — defending champion Alberto Contador of Spain.

Renshaw, Cavendish’s leadout man on the HTC Columbia team, rammed his head three times into the shoulder of Julian Dean — the leadout man for Tyler Farrar on Garmin-Transitions — in an apparent bid to push him out of the way during the final sprint. Dean was leading the pack at the time.

“This is cycling, it’s not wrestling,” course director Jean-Francois Pescheux said. He added removing Renshaw was “severe” punishment, and that his violation was “flagrant.”

“There are rules to respect,” he said.

After reviewing video of the sprint finish, the race jury said Renshaw was “removed from the competition for a particularly serious case.” They also said he was fined 200 Swiss francs (about $192) for a grave case of “irregular sprint.” Cycling’s governing body UCI is based in Switzerland.

After feeling three “hits” on his side, Dean said he was “a little bit astounded that this conduct was taking place,” and said he felt “shaken” as he crossed the line in 23rd place.

These were two riders almost destined for antagonism: Dean is from New Zealand, Renshaw’s an Australian; they’re both pilots, or lead-out men, for top sprinters; and their two American teams have a simmering rivalry.

“Yeah, if you start making

a list of the potential opposites, we have a lot,” Dean told The Associated Press by phone after the stage.

A spokeswoman for HTC Columbia didn’t immediately respond to an e-mail and a phone message seeking comment from Renshaw.

Cavendish took the 114.6mile stage from Sisteron to Bourg-les-Valence, featuring a mid-grade climb, with a time of 4 hours, 42 minutes, 29 seconds.

After the head-butts, Cavendish spurted ahead in the final 300 meters and won in front of Alessandro Petacchi of Italy in second and Farrar in third.

Cavendish rushed to Renshaw’s defense, alleging that Dean had tried to elbow the Australian.

“Mark used his head to get away,” he said. “There’s a risk when your elbow’s that close (that) the bars are going to tangle. That puts everybody behind in danger. Mark gave us a bit of space which kept everybody upright.”

Farrar, America’s leading sprinter at this Tour, said of Columbia: “They don’t need to ride like that. They need to think about the safety of everybody, and let the fastest man win.”

He suggested Renshaw’s head-butting was dangerous.

“I want to win, but more than that, I don’t want to fall,” said Farrar, who is still looking for his first Tour stage win. “Something like that is more than about winning, it’s really about the health of the riders.”

The stage was mainly flat, and thus favored sprinters.

The general classification didn’t change, with all the top contenders finishing behind the sprinters in the main pack.

Schleck earned the yellow jersey for a third straight day. Contador remained second overall — 41 seconds behind. Fellow Spaniard Samuel Sanchez was third, 2:45 behind.

Schleck had an easy — if hot — day, and did a bit of chatting in the peloton.

“It was quiet and we can act like normal people,” said Schleck through a translator, adding that Contador was a friend and they had gone on vacation together.

I bet you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know...

Brought to you by Jim Wilson What would you guess is the record for most number of games a manager and a player have participated in together in Major League Baseball history? Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a clue: taking over second place on the all time list were Atlanta Braves third baseman Chipper Jones and his manager, Bobby Cox, who early in the 2010 season took part in game number 2,191 together. But the record â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2,591 games â&#x20AC;&#x201C; goes back a hundred years, to Pittsburgh Pirates Hall of Fame shortstop Honus Wagner and manager Fred Clarke (1897-1915). With Cox retiring at the end of the 2010 campaign, the record is still safe.

Any of you golf fans ever heard of Fred Corcoran? He never picked up a club on the professional circuit, yet he inďŹ&#x201A;uenced the sport as much as anybody.

As the tournament manager of the PGA of America in the 1930s and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;40s, he fathered the modern PGA Tour. He served as a tournament organizer, director and promoter, and was also a player agent to legends such as Gene Sarazen.

Corcoran, who died in 1977 at age 72, invented the tournament scoreboard, and he was the ďŹ rst non-player inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame.

Early in the 2010 season, Pittsburghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Aki Iwamura endured an 0-for-34 hitting slump, the 10th longest in Major League Baseball history. The longest â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a dreadful 0-for-46 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was posted back in 1909 by Bill Bergen of the Brooklyn Dodgers. The modern-day mark, just one behind Bergen at 0-for-45, was set in 1973 by Dave Campbell, who spent most of his career with San Diego.

Sara Tisdel, instructor, points out something of interest to Central Lake students during Crooked Tree Arts Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 21st Century arts class on nature journaling.

The wonders of nature

Crooked Tree Arts Center hosted a nature journaling class this summer for 21st Century Summer Program students.

Students in Central Lake, Boyne Falls, Boyne City and Pellston schools, spent a few hours exploring their school grounds in a new way.

The classes, led by Marty Samson, Crooked Treeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 21st Century Arts coordinator, and Sara Tisdel, an artisan and teacher, had students out-of-doors exploring nature and recording

their observations in a nature journal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The goal for the summer program was to bring something to the students that would stay with them beyond just the summer,â&#x20AC;? said Samson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each student received a hand-lens, sketchbook, pen, pencil, colored pencils, eraser and a really cool bag to keep it all in.

By giving the students the tools to start a nature journal we hope to encourage them to do more journaling outside of the class

and to continue after the class ends,â&#x20AC;? Samson said.

Nature journaling combines art, science and literacy. Journalers create an original document based on their observations and interests in nature.

Every journal looks different from any other and reflects what that person sees or feels or thinks about nature. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We help the nature journaling students explore the natural world through the eyes of a scientist and an artist and a

writer,â&#x20AC;? said Tisdel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Close observation opens a new world for children as they record their observation though writing (descriptive words and poetry) and drawing and field sketches. We hope that introducing the students to nature journaling early will start a life-long habit.â&#x20AC;?

The Charlevoix-Emmet Intermediate School Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 21st Century Program provides services to children in 10 local qualifying schools. During the

school year, the afterschool program provides tutoring, homework help, academic classes and enrichment opportunities for the students. The program also provides a summer school session to work with students on their academic needs and provide them with additional enrichment opportunities.

For more information on Crooked Tree Arts Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role in the 21st Century Program, contact Samson at (231) 347-5731 or marty@crookedtree.org.

Boyne Arts Collective hosting Gail Stoltz exhibit through July 22

BOYNE CITY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Artist Gail Stoltz is hosting a oneman showing of his work at the Boyne Arts Collective Art Center, located at 210 S. Lake St., Boyne City.

The show will be on display through July 22.

Stoltz, as a graduate of Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ray-Vouge School of Graphic Art, began his commercial art career at Reuben Donnely, the Yellow Pages Company. There he did illustrating and some

ÂŽ

formatting. Eventually he worked himself up to the position of senior art director for Stone and Adler in direct advertising.

He painted with oils on the side; having been inspired first by the French Impressionist and then on through the ranks of known artists until he found his own style and place.

He moved to Petoskey and on to Boyne four years ago.

Today he thinks of Boyne City as home and in his retirement continues to do that which is his first love â&#x20AC;&#x201D; paint.

The Gail Stoltz exhibit at the Boyne Arts Collective Art Center introduces the artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s portraits, scenes and abstract canvasses.

Stoltzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work can be seen in the gallery regularly along with that of 40 or more other artists from the Boyne City area.

Moâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bacon Bar Did someone say CHOCOLATE AND BACON? While Pam Peterson takes pride in tracking down hard-to-find vintage candy to sell at Symons General Store in Petoskey, one of the big sellers at the candy counter right now is a chocolate bar laced with bacon and salt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m buying six times more of these bars right now than some of these other products,â&#x20AC;?

Peterson said.

Moâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bacon Bar, a dark chocolate bar with applewood smoked bacon and salt, is made by Vosges HautChocolat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some people arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so sure about the combination at first, but I just explain that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the salty and sweet combo that is really appealing,â&#x20AC;?

Peterson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So many people like bacon, and you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go wrong with chocolate.â&#x20AC;?

While the flavor of bacon is definitely noticeable, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not overpowering. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think once people get over that initial reaction of combining chocolate and bacon and try it, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pleasantly surprised,â&#x20AC;?

hen was the last time you had dark chocolate laced with bacon? Or black licorice with a hint of coconut? How about handmade fondant swirled with caramel and dipped in chocolate? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m always looking for the next big thing, but the vintage candy never goes out of style,â&#x20AC;? said Pam Peterson, general manager of Symons General Store in downtown Petoskey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have to search high and low for some of this stuff.â&#x20AC;?

Peterson, who formerly owned a catering business in Atlanta, Ga., moved to Northern Michigan permanently four years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had a college friend who owned a summer home, and when I visited her one summer, I immediately fell in love with the area and knew I wanted to move here,â&#x20AC;? Peterson explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I owned a business and it just wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t possible at the time.â&#x20AC;?

Instead, Peterson returned north each summer and worked at the Sequanota Club in Charlevoix. But after more than a decade, she was ready to make Northern Michigan her year round home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just got so tired of having to

leave this area after the summer mmer each year,â&#x20AC;? Peterson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I moved here year-round, it just really felt like home.â&#x20AC;?

For the last four years, Peterson has been the face behind hind the candy and cheese counters ers at Symons General Store. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like candy, but this candy counter is a Symons General Store tradition,â&#x20AC;? Peterson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have people that stop in here in the spring to load up on candy they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find anywhere else, before they even arrive at the cottage to unload. How great is that?â&#x20AC;?

For Peterson, hearing stories from people who came to the candy counter at Symons General Store as a child, and are now continuing that tradition with their children and even grandchildren, make her job worthwhile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always fascinating to hear stories from people who came here and picked out candy when they were young,â&#x20AC;? Peterson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A guy who manages the newsroom at CNN was talking recently about coming in here years and years ago, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always great to hear people have such wonderful memories of this place.â&#x20AC;?

Candy lovers often request hard-to-find items, and Peterson rises to the occasion. While she

One of Pam Petersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most recent finds: a set of giant lollipops she saw in San Francisco. admits itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sometimes hard to track vintage candy down, she can find almost anything.

One of her recent finds is a set of giant lollipops she proudly displays above the front counter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I saw them at a little shop in San Francisco and knew I had to have them. I finally called them up and they gave me the number to the candy maker,â&#x20AC;? Peterson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pretty small operation since the invoice came hand written.â&#x20AC;?

Among top sellers including a variety of black licorice, salted caramels and malted milk balls, Peterson stocks handmade items such as fondants, toffees, and a variety of gourmet chocolates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m always looking for the next great thing,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are so many great new candies on the market, but the vintage ones never go out of style.â&#x20AC;?
