When the Harbor Springs School District passed a technology bond to outfit classrooms, teachers, and students with “21st century tools,” the work of making tech part of everyday education was just getting started. As the district began rolling out everything from iPads to Mac-Book Air laptops, it became clear having the technology isn’t enough. The important thing is learning how to creatively use it to enhance teach-ing and learning.
D u r i n g part of a y e a r- l o n g s t r a t e g i c p l a n n i n g p r o c e s s , the district included an action plan to “support teachers as they utilize
technology to enrich instruction.” Thanks to a $17,000 Title 1 federal grant, Harbor Springs schools will now be working with Elizabeth Fair-banks, an instructional technology consultant, for on-going technology coaching.
“This is a great opportunity for the district,” said superintendent Mark Tompkins. “Beth has experience as a professional development specialist for Phoenix public schools, with a focus on curriculum and technol-ogy, and is currently a part-time staff member of the Char-Em ISD, where she serves as a regional coordinator for technology readiness.”
Fairbanks, who grew up in Harbor Springs (her maiden name is Kloss) and is married to elementary princi-pal Nathan Fairbanks, will be work-ing with Harbor Springs teachers 20 hours a week for the remainder of this academic year.
“I expect she will match the indi-vidual needs of the teacher to cur-riculum ideas and technology. We are very fortunate to have someone with Beth’s qualifications and expe-riences to assist us as a hands-on coach for teachers as we enhance opportunities for our students. There is a “big world” of technology applications that she can help us tap into,” Tompkins said.
“Technology is a tool that allows students to access learning in differ-ent ways, as a Technology Coach my role will be to support instruction that allows students and teachers to access information that prepares Harbor Springs students for the col-lege or careers of the 21st century,” Fairbanks said.
She noted that Harbor Springs Schools have already been working hard to implement technology. The fact that these new tools require an on-going learning curve is some-thing to be excited about, she said.
“I am always learning something new with technology too, and know it can be overwhelming at times,” Fairbanks said, adding it can also lead to great changes and exciting opportunities. “Technology al-lows us to connect, communicate, collaborate and critically think in unique ways. Today's generation is immersed in the rapidly changing world of technology, it is something we are constantly using from tex-ting, emailing, instant messaging,

Boyne marking 50 years at the Highlands
By Andy SneddonSpecial to Harbor Light Newspaper
In a way, the myriad events sur-rounding Boyne Highlands’ 50th an-niversary celebration are symbolic of the resort itself, and founder Everett Kircher’s vision.
At its core, it’s a ski resort, among the best the Midwest has to offer. It started with 11 trails and five lifts in 1963. Today, it features 55 trails and eight lifts – and so very much more.
The venerable resort off Highland Road north of Harbor Springs will celebrate 50 years this weekend with a litany of family friendly sunrise-to-past-sundown activities on the docket.
Included are zip lining, live enter-tainment, the Friday night official reception, groomer rides, dog sled rides, horseback trail rides, horse-drawn sleigh and wagon rides, bonfires, and fireworks.
And, of course, skiing, which is what Kircher, who died in 2002, had envisioned when he opened the resort in the early ‘60s.
“The skiing was a key part of that in creating that ambiance in transport-ing you to a place that maybe people didn’t expect to see in Michigan,” says Stephen Kircher, President of Boyne Resorts’ Eastern Operations, in reflecting on his father’s vision.
A decade and a half after launching
and developing Boyne Mountain in Boyne Falls, Everett Kircher set to work on the Highlands. As any good businessman or innovator is wont to do, he applied lessons learned at the Mountain to the Highlands.
“He used to always say the High-lands fixed all the wrongs of the Mountain,” Stephen Kircher said. “He was dreaming about creating the ultimate ski area from his perspec-tive and it embodied many of those things he learned from creating the Mountain and traveling around and realizing that the average skier in the Midwest liked those long runs.”
Clearly, Everett Kircher got it right. As he usually did.

Socked InDeep-freeze, buried in snowMeteorologists report coldest winter in more than 10 yearsBy Christina RohnSpecial to Harbor Light Newspaper
It has been one of the coldest win-ters the Petoskey/Harbor Springs area has experienced in more than 10 years.
According to Jeff Lutz, meteo-rologist with the National Weather Service in Gaylord, the closest com-parison he could find to this season’s average highs was from the 2000-01 season.
Lutz reports that according to data from the Petoskey Wastewater Treatment Plant, the average high for December 2013 was 26.7 degrees, and 21.3 degrees for January 2014.
In comparison, the average high in December of 2000 was 24.8 degrees, and 30.5 degrees for January 2001.
“We’ve probably had the coldest consecutive December, January that we’ve had in 10 to 15 years,” Lutz said.
As a result of the frigid tempera-tures, residents of the area have also been experiencing a hefty amount of snow.
According to data from North Cen-
tral Michigan College, as of Monday, Petoskey had received 123 inches of snowfall.
Lutz said this is well beyond the average snowfall for this time of year — 76.1 inches.
In fact, Petoskey has already sur-passed its seasonal snowfall average of 122.8 inches.
Lutz said, although the Petoskey area is ahead of its seasonal average,
it is slightly behind last year’s season total of 137.1 inches.
“Last year was an OK winter when it came down to it, but we received a lot more snow in January, February and March than we typically would,” he said.
Lutz said the area might not have a record-breaking season as far as snowfall is concerned, but he says there’s a good chance the area will
surpass last season’s totals.“Right now we’re only 14 inches
below last season, and we haven’t gone through February, March and April yet,” he said. “We could still end up with a fair amount of snow.”
In Harbor Springs, area ski hills are reporting more than 100-inches of snowfall, and up to 76-inches of base (Squaw Valley, California

Cold spells may kill some but not worst invasive speciesBY LACEE SHEPARDCapital News Service
LANSING — Severe winter weather may lead to the death of some inva-sive species, according to a recent study.
In negative-10-degree weather, invasive species could freeze and die, the report from the USDA Forest Service and the Minnesota Depart-ment of Agriculture said.
The report shows the effects of severe weather temperatures on the invasive emerald ash borer, an insect that feeds on ash and kills the tree.
Regardless of the study’s find-ings and the bitter cold affecting Michigan this season, there is little hope for eradication of many of our invasive species, particularly the resilient emerald ash borer, said Deborah McCullough, a Michigan State University professor of ento-mology and forestry.
“Given that temps have gotten re-ally cold, and not for one night but for an extended period, there’s a ten-dency for a lot of people to hope for insect mortality,” McCullough said.

Old man winter is on a tear this year, with frigid temperatures, wicked winds, and daily doses of snow. Early in the season, dredging equipment was locked into the Harbor Springs Municipal Marina due to ice cover and dangerously cold weather. As snow continues to pile and drift throughout northern Michigan, open waters, warmer days, and sunshine seem like they may never arrive. (Harbor Light Newspaper photo/Mark Flemming)

United Way community investment requests at record highStill Time to Give as United Way seeks contributions to support effective health and human service programs in Charlevoix and Emmet countiesSubmitted by Lorraine ManaryChar-Em United Way
“With requests for support nearing $300,000 from local agencies and knowing there are ad-ditional needs we may want to fund through our Emerging Needs Fund, we simply cannot turn our back now on a goal that has not been met” said Therese Green, Board Member and Chairperson of the Community Investment Committee.
Dee Vincent, Board President said “Now is the time to pull together to help close this gap. We are asking everyone who believes in helping their neighbors who are struggling with hunger, illness, or providing shelter for their families to contribute what they can. Our campaign goal is not an abstract number. It’s the amount we need to raise to meet real needs that our friends and our own families experience every day in our community - critical needs that will go unmet without our help.” This year requests are expected from 25 agencies supporting 30 programs; programs serving a wide variety of individuals, from early childhood preschool and behavioral programs to support for area seniors and everything in between.
The original concept of the United Way was to provide one fund-raising campaign that would support multiple needs and agencies. While this concept is still in place today, the United Way is much more than just a fund-raising organization. The United Way of today
is looking toward making an impact in the lives of people served through United Way funded programs.
The United Way is an active community partner that works closely with other social service agencies, nonprofit organizations, community leaders, and businesses to seek optimal ways to meet the needs of residents in Charlevoix and Emmet County. Many times United Way is a participant in community conversations and sometimes the United Way is the leader who invites other partners into a discussion regarding a community need. The collaborative efforts that have evolved over the years help all of the partners involved meet some needs and work together for the betterment of our community.
If you have not already supported this year’s United Way fund-raising campaign, the Board of Trustees invites you to participate. Your gift is tax deductible and can be made through the United Way’s website at www.charemu-nitedway.org or by sending a check to P O Box 1701, Petoskey, MI 49770. More information regarding the work of Char-Em United Way can be found on our website.
For more information on the variety of ways you can support your community through the United Way please contact them at 231-487-1006 or [email protected] or visit www.charemunitedway.org or become a fan of Char-Em United Way’s Facebook page.

Four different speakers will discuss four different facets of the community at the an-nual State of the Community Luncheon hosted by the Peto-skey Regional Chamber of Commerce. The ninth annual event will be held Fri. Feb. 7 in Ovation Hall at the Odawa Ca-sino in Petoskey. The public is welcome to attend.
The opening speaker at the luncheon will be the new President and CEO of McLar-en Northern Michigan, David Zechman. “This will be a great chance for the community to meet Mr. Zechman and to learn about the status of our region’s largest employer,” said event Chairman Dan Ledingham.
Zechman will be followed by Liz Ahrens, Executive Director of the Crooked Tree Arts Center. Ledingham says Ahrens’ presentation will focus on the State of the Arts in our community. “The arts
are an important quality of life element,” Ledingham said. “For a rural community, the Petoskey area is blessed to have so many cultural op-portunities,” he noted.
The third speaker of the day will be Chairman Fred Kiogima of the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians. “Again this is a chance for the community to get know our new tribal chairman and to hear the status of the tribe which plays such an impor-tant role in the region,” Led-ingham said.
“We’ll end the program with an economic message,” Led-ingham said. Tino Breithaup of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation has agreed to come to Peto-skey to discuss the region’s economic standing in rela-tion to the rest of the state. “We’re fortunate to have Tino in Petoskey and look forward to his message.”
An audience of around 250 is expected for the luncheon. Tickets are available at the Petoskey Regional Chamber of Commerce, 347-4150 or www.petoskey.com. Tickets are $30 each or tables of eight for $240. Doors for the event will open at 11:30 a.m. and the program will begin at around noon.
After the event, a booklet will be available to pick up at the Petoskey Regional Cham-ber of Commerce office, or read on-line containing ar-ticles from nearly all facets of the community. Ledingham says the booklet is designed as an annual check-in on our community and contains information about our envi-ronment, economy, human services, and local units of government. The booklet will be available free of charge on Feb. 7.

American Life in PoetryBY TED KOOSER, U.S. POET LAUREATE
This year’s brutal winter surely calls for a poem such as today’s selection, a peek at the inner workings of spring. Susan Kelly-DeWitt lives and teaches in Sacramento.
Apple Blossoms One evening in winterwhen nothing has been enough,when the days are too short,
the nights too longand cheerless, the secretand docile buds of the apple
blossoms begin their quickascent to light. Nightafter interminable night
the sugars pucker and swellinto green slips, greensilks. And just as you find
yourself at the endof winter’s long, coldrope, the blossoms open
like pink thimblesand that black dollopof shine called
bumblebee stumbles in.

Dark Sky program director Mary Adams will present a “Field Trip to the Moon,” the first of a two-part series ad-dressing the science, myth and mysteries of the moon.
“During part I of this pro-gram, we will focus on the latest in lunar science and dis-covery including current mis-sions, contemporary theories regarding the Moon’s origin, and we will enjoy telescopic views of our nearest compan-ion. Part II of the program will occur in April, when we have the first Total Lunar Eclipse visible in North America since 2011,” Adams said.
This program is perfect for the month of Febru-ary, a month named for the Latin word “februum,” which means “purification,” an as-sociation that derives from several things that occur during our second month, including: the Roman festival of Februa; cross quarter day, the half-way point between Winter Solstice and Vernal Equinox, which is variously known as Groundhog Day, Candlemas, and Imbolc; the ancient observation of the lesser mysteries, which required abstinence as prepa-ration for feats of endurance; and traditional observances of the Lenten season of prayer
and fasting.February is unique as the
only ‘adjustable month’ in our calendar, meaning its days are occasionally increased in order to keep the overall calendar in line with the ever-changing rhythm of the cosmos.
The Moon will not come to New Phase at any time during the month.
“Most people are accus-tomed to hearing about two Full Moons in one calendar month, but it is much less frequent to hear about no New Moon in a month, and
in fact, such a phenomena can only occur in February,” Adams said. “This can hap-pen because the rhythm used to determine new phase, technically referred to as the ‘synodic period’ is 29.5 days. When New Moon falls at the end of January, as it does this year, then 29.5 days later, at next New Moon phase, we’ve moved all the way through the 28 days of February to arrive at March 1st.”
The program is timed to al-low views of sunset from the Headlands, which is at 5:45 p.m., followed by structured program from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Headlands Guest House. Programs are always free, are participatory in nature, in-clude give-aways and refresh-ments, and offer a unique perspective on the starry skies over Emmet County. They take place rain, snow or starshine!

This week we celebrate one of the greatest of American holidays, Super Bowl Sunday. (Yes, I know it’s not really a hol-iday, but you would certainly think it was if you didn’t know better.) It will be interesting to see how this one plays out, in an open stadium in New Jersey. Traditionally the game
has never been hosted in a city with an expected average daily temperature of less than 50-degrees in a stadium that was not covered; based on the slow sale of tickets being re-ported for this Sunday’s game, they may revisit that policy.
There have actually been suggestions to make the Monday after the Super Bowl an official holiday since it is approximated that 1.5 million people call in sick that day anyway. Seems like a pretty sketchy reason for a holiday, don’t you think?
Everyone has their own fa-vorite Super Bowl memories; I have always been a Steelers’ fan (who wasn’t during the seventies?) and those Super Bowls during their heyday were incredible. It was es-pecially sweet when they beat the Cowboys; I always found the “America’s Team” nonsense irritating and pre-sumptuous. Jack Lambert smiling through his helmet with his toothless grin, Terry Bradshaw and his silly inter-views, Franco Harris, John Stallworth, Lynn Swann and the ever inspirational Rocky
Bleier; those were the person-alities that made me a die hard football fan.
The first actual Super Bowl game that made many people sit up and take notice was probably Super Bowl III, with the Jets and their abrasive but charismatic quarterback, Joe Namath. This was the first to be called the Super Bowl and the win by the AFL Jets over the heavily favored Colts made history.
There have been many memorable moments over the years. Vince Ferragamo throwing a costly intercep-tion in the waning minutes to kill a possible game win-ning drive, Scott Norwood muffing a gimme field goal that would have won the game for Buffalo, John Elway suffering three shellackings before he came back to win back to back titles. Everyone has their favorite moment. I’d love to share Lions’ Super Bowl memories, but…
The event that is the Super Bowl has evolved through the years. Until 1976, the halftime shows were performed by marching bands from vari-
ous universities. There was sometimes a number done by a singer or singers, but the highlight was the band. Beginning in 1976, the group Up With People headlined for the next ten years. For those of you who don’t remember them, they were very simi-lar to the Young Americans; squeaky clean entertainment. The first popular group to headline was New Kids on The Block, but the halftime spectacular as we have come to know it began with Michael Jackson in Super Bowl XXVII. His booking was taken as a counter to the ratings success of the halftime special offered by In Living Color on a rival network the previous year. Since then we have had the good, the bad, the outrageous and the horrendous.
Then there are the com-mercials, which I think more people watch than watch the game at this point. It has been thirty-five years since the famous Joe Greene/Coke commercial. How old does that make you feel? The Apple 1984 commercial is thirty this year. Budweiser
has always been my favorite, between the always touching Clydesdales and the Lizards (far better than the frogs,) they are consistently enter-taining, ridiculous Bud Bowls notwithstanding.
Mike McElroy used to host incredible Super Bowl parties at the Crows’ Nest; great food, packed I’m sure beyond fire codes with fun people and the Arboretum had at least one that I recall that was out-standing. I have a suspicion that there was a crack down on the “gambling” because of the betting with squares, you just don’t see parties of that magnitude in bars and restaurants now.
Enjoy the game, temper your indulgences and cheer for the Broncos. (The startling contrast between Peyton Manning’s and Robert Sher-man’s post game interviews would have swayed me even if I hadn’t already been rooting for the Broncos.)
Some non sports related celebrating going on locally, as Mark and Kim Clare wel-comed a new granddaughter, Nadine Alana Clare on Janu-
ary 22. Nadine’s parents are Ben and Kelsie Clare. They also got the news that son Sam has announced his engage-ment to Zita Carrasco with a July wedding planned. Lots of good news for the Clare family to celebrate.
Happy Anniversary to Jud and Jen Silveus on February 2, may you celebrate many more.
We don’t have a lot of birth-days to celebrate this week, must be the reverse side my theory regarding the large number of November birth-days. There’s obviously a lot more to keep people occupied in May than in February in Northern Michigan.
Happy Birthday on Satur-day, February 1 to Amy Mc-Cafferty and on Super Bowl Sunday to Liz Clare Mullens, Jon Jezisek, Drew Adams and Alan Hammond. On Monday, February 3, we send birthday wishes to Jill Kimble and on Wednesday, February 5 to Andrea Sendlhofer and Jerry Cassidy. Enjoy your days and stay warm!
To coincide with One Billion Rising, North Central Michi-gan College and the Women’s Resource Center of Northern Michigan (WRCNM) are teaming up to organize a Clothesline Project display of more than 40 t-shirts created by local survivors of domes-tic abuse and sexual assault. The shirts will be displayed February 10-21 at the col-lege library. The shirts are a powerful and creative way for survivors to explore the power of their unique voices, to tell their stories and for the community to bear witness to this extraordinary, enlighten-ing and empowering process.
One Billion Rising began as a call to action based on the staggering statistic that one
in three women on the planet will be beaten or raped during her lifetime. With the world population at 7 billion, that amounts to more than one billion women and girls.
In 2013, one billion women and men in 207 countries shook the earth through dance and music to raise awareness and help end this violence. One Billion Rising was the biggest global action in the history of the world. One Billion Rising takes place annually on February 14. The focus this year is to break the silence that continues to surround domestic abuse and sexual assault, as well as examine the root causes of these crimes. It is a call to sur-vivors to break the silence and
release their stories – politi-cally, spiritually, outrageously – through art, dance, marches, ritual, song, spoken word, tes-timonies and whatever way feels right. “The shirts rep-resented in this Clothesline Project display represent each person’s personal experience with violence,” said Chris Krajewski, domestic abuse and sexual assault program director at the WRCNM.
“The messages are so im-pactful because they are raw and so brutally honest they take your breath away. The shirts show the pain, fear and anger that survivors ex-perience, as well as hope and healing.”
The Clothesline Project display will be available for
public viewing and reflection February 10-21, at the North Central Michigan College library in Petoskey. Books focusing on social injustice will also be displayed.
For more information or
library hours, contact North Central Michigan College at 231-348-6600, or contact the Women’s Resource Center of Northern Michigan at 231- 347-0067 or online at wrcnm.org.

Week’s High: Fri, Jan 24, 19 FWeek’s Low: Mon, Jan 27,0F (Wind chill -21F)The weather has continued in the same pattern, periods of snow almost every day (2 -3”), single digit temperatures with wind chill conditions well below zero. But we certainly are not alone in this - almost every state has been experiencing these condi-tions as we know. Many of them are certainly not equipped to handle it. Thank you to our city road crews who are doing their best to keep the roads passable, and to the postal carriers who have to drive and trudge through all this mess. The groundhog is due to make an appearance this Sunday but it is probably too cold for him to venture out so guess we will welcome that 20+ degree temperature predicted for Thursday!! Stay warm!
Happy New Year from theResidents of Hillside VillageWe are surviving this very cold and stormy winter and hope you are too. We have several drivers living here and our cars need to be warmed up, brushed off and driven a little bit to keep all their moving parts moving well. We hope all of you are sitting by your fireplaces, bundled up, drinking hot chocolate and eat-ing nuts and oranges. It is really nice to have a chance to read a good book!
During this last year of 2013 we have had about 10 people move into Hillside Village, so on January 30 we are having a party to celebrate them joining us. It will be from 3 to 5 pm in D Building which has a delightful
community room. There will be lots of good food plus coffee, tea and punch. We welcome our newest residents.
At this time we announce that we have a new Social Coordinator, Cyndi Kramer so now we have four staff people in our office: Cyndi, Mary Catherine Hannah, Penny Marshall and Dan Kolberg. Dan has been getting quite a workout keeping our sidewalks and driveways plowed and shoveled. We are enjoying the col-ored lights downtown, our big Christmas tree and the star up on the hill that most of us can see. We also enjoy the deer walking through our property looking for food.
Best wishes to all of you, our friends and families living in this beautiful area!

BYOS (bring your own snack) to the Crooked Tree Arts Cen-ter on February 14th for the French film “The Painting” as part of a film series partner-ship between the Arts Center and the Petoskey District Li-brary. Not your typical Disney affair, these films are celebrat-ing the illustration and ani-mation styles of some classic children’s books. Inspired by the current, delightful, exhibit from the Clarke Historical So-ciety Molson Art Collection of Children’s Book Illustrations, the films have been selected that remain true to the origi-nal illustrations.
Films will be presented once a month, coinciding with local schools’ Professional Devel-opment days when schools are closed. The original books will be highlighted through the library’s youth program-ming as well. “The Painting” is about a château, flowering gardens, a threatening forest, that for mysterious reasons, a Painter has left incomplete. Three kinds of characters live in this painting: the Toupins, who are entirely painted, the Pafinis, who lack a few colors, and the Reufs, who are only sketches. Considering them-selves superior, the Toupins
take over power, chase the Pafinis from the château, and enslave the Reufs. Convinced that only the Painter can re-store harmony by finishing the painting, Ramo, Lola, and Plume decided to go looking for him. Throughout the ad-venture, questions will follow one after the other: What has become of the Painter? Why did he abandon them? Why did he begin destroying some of his paintings? Will they one day know the Painter’s secret? Showcased at the 2013 Tra-verse City Film Festival among others.
February 15th includes The
Weston Woods 60th Anniver-sary Commemorative Edition with Arnie the Doughnut; The Elves and the Shoemaker; Dem Bones; and That New Animal.
March 14th will be the un-usual tale of “Coraline” [PG] where an adventurous girl finds another world that is a strangely idealized version of her frustrating home, but with secrets. Based upon the popular Neil Gaiman story for older kids.
March 15th showcases Where the Wild Things Are & other Sendak Stories as well as Why Mosquitoes Buzz
in People’s Ears and Other Caldecott Classics. A parental note: Other Sendak Stories includes the favorite “In the Night Kitchen” which, as some will recall, does include the main character (a young boy) drawn falling out of his pajamas and briefly nude until he falls into a giant bowl of batter.
The Friday films are geared towards upper elementary aged children with Saturday’s offerings more for lower elementary and preschool aged children; however many titles are beloved by all age groups! These are unsuper-
vised screenings, so parents are asked to arrange for a responsible adult to be pres-ent throughout the showing. Friday movies run between 75 and 100 minutes; Saturday’s films run approximately 50-60 minutes.
All films are free and open to the public so be sure to join the Petoskey District Library and Crooked Tree Arts Center in celebrating great art and great literature- for kids.

North Central Michigan College and the Robert Em-met Society seek entries for a scholarship contest that will send a North Central student to Ireland this fall for a semes-ter of study.
This is the only scholar-ship awarded by the college that sends a student abroad for study. The competition is based on an essay contest, academic achievement, stu-dent activities and an inter-view with college and society representatives.
Entrants must be enrolled in an academic program at North Central Michigan Col-lege for the 2013-2014 school year and must be prepared to submit an essay on the topic, “How do the political values of Robert Emmet, Irish pa-triot and namesake of Emmet County, relate to our world and our lives today?”
Essays must be submitted to Samantha McLin, associate dean of liberal arts, by April 7. The winner will be announced before the end of the school year. Details are available at http://www.ncmich.edu/finaid/ireland.html.
The winner of this competi-tion will receive a scholarship for Fall 2014 at Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology (GMIT) in Galway, Ireland. The scholarship covers round-trip air fare from De-troit or Chicago and tuition,
room and books at GMIT.The Society was founded
in the early 1990’s to honor Robert Emmet, the namesake of Emmet County, Michigan, and to make area residents more aware of Emmet’s brief but courageous life and his enduring legacy as a champion of freedom and democracy. The Society works closely with North Central in awarding the scholarship that is named after Joseph W. Mc-Carthy, a local businessman, and Dr. William McCullough, a Petoskey physician, both active members of the society since its founding. The Rob-ert Emmet Society and the Blissfest Music Organization raise funds for the scholar-ship through donations and annual music events.

A huge thank you to everyone who braved the weather on Saturday to show their local love at the Harbor Springs Winter Farmers Market! If you made it in, you were the first to see our new soup offerings courtesy of Jib at My Sister’s Bake Shop; chicken gnocchi (yum!) last week, divine squash this week. Maybe you were able to take home some pasta and pesto, a perfect winter supper from Two Acre Farm, or eggs and bacon from Sam and the Gregorys. And we welcomed back Country Gardens with their awesome winter carrots, Jerusa-lem artichokes and garlic. We’ll be back this Saturday at the Harbor Springs Middle School from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. with all of this and MORE! It’s still winter with frigid temps and howling winds...what better place to warm up than at the market on a Saturday morning?
Meet you at the market,Cyndi Kramer, Market Master

There would have been some cause for hope had the polar vortex happened sooner, she said, but this late in the winter there isn’t much chance of insect deaths.
Cold temperatures coming in January are the problem, McCullough said. As seasons change, animals and insects acclimate to get used to the cooler temperatures.
“Insects go through a physi-ologically intense process of acclimatization in the fall and there’s actually changes in their bodies. It’s the equiva-lent of having antifreeze,” McCullough said.
If the insects don’t create this antifreeze their cells will freeze and burst, killing them, she said.
“If we had this Arctic vortex
the first or second week of November, it might have been really different,” McCullough said.
“But there have been all these weeks of cooler and cooler temperatures for the ash borer larvae, under the bark, to have acclimatized. Because it’s the middle of win-ter they are as acclimatized as they could possible be. Some of them are still going to survive it.”
McCullough said because they have adapted and lay dormant under bark that is an efficient insulator, they’ll reemerge in the spring.
Severe temperatures will have a better chance of slow-ing the population growth of other unwanted insects.
Ronald Murray, Depart-ment of Natural Resources
(DNR) forest health unit man-ager, said hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA) was found in Michigan in May 2013 -– making a comeback after its elimination in 2006.
HWA preys on hemlock by injecting toxic saliva while feeding, he said. Eventually the insect will kill the tree.
While the DNR has taken steps to remove infested trees and treat surrounding trees, eggs are still distributed, Mur-ray said.
“Adelgid eggs and tiny nymphs are abundant from March through June,” Mur-ray said. “They are readily dispersed by wind, birds, deer and other mammals. Humans can also disperse the insect through various activities, including moving infested plants.”
However, any remaining infestations would most likely be killed off in the freezing temperatures, he said.
McCullough said the dif-ference between hemlock adelgid and emerald ash borer is that the adelgid feed in the winter, exposing themselves to the freezing temperatures.
HWA dies in winter due to their eating patterns, Mc-Cullough said. The insect will travel to the pine needle to feed and be exposed to the freezing temperatures, while the emerald ash borer stays warm under protective bark.
McCullough said she hopes the cold will kill off other harmful species like mimosa webworm, an insect that webs leaves together and feeds on them. While the harm they cause is less severe than what
emerald ash borer or HWA cause, it is still damaging and unsightly.
McCullough said mimosa webworm isn’t as cold toler-ant as emerald ash borer but still acclimatizes to the weather. The hope is the cold will stunt population growth and provide a better chance to eliminate it.
Murray said, “Since they are reported in almost all litera-ture as being very susceptible to cold temperatures in states further south than Michigan, it is reasonable to assume that they would not survive the vortex.”

using social media or listening to music on an iPod. To stay competitive, today’s students need to learn how to use tech-nology to create, not simply consume.
“Having technology in the classroom allows teachers to assess students learning in a variety of ways. Teachers are able to give students im-mediate feedback on learning by collecting information us-ing programs like Socrative, Poll Everywhere, and Google Forms. Teachers are able to use these tools to guide instruction based on the needs of their students. Dur-ing the 2014-2015 students will begin to be tested in an online format using the Next Generation Assessments that are aligned with the Common Core. As a technology consul-tant, I am excited to support teachers in using technology
assessment tools that help support and guide student achievement and learning.”
Fairbanks said it is her philosophy of connecting, communicating, collaborat-ing and thinking critically that also reminds her of one very important shift in technol-ogy education: technology is only a tool, and one that most students are already very comfortable using.
“My first priority for Harbor Springs schools is to build connections with the staff and students, and work to understand the technology that Harbor Springs currently has,” Fairbanks said. “As a technology consultant, my top priority will be training and supporting the staff on implementing technology into the curriculum in order to prepare Harbor Springs stu-dents for the 21st Century.”.

In partnership with the library, the Charlevoix His-torical Society has created their own local journey story exhibit entitled: “Journeying to Charlevoix: Why they Came and How they Traveled”. “Jour-neying to Charlevoix” will be on display at the Charlevoix Railroad Depot and open for visitors each Saturday dur-ing the exhibit time-frame and will include the themes. Charlevoix Historical Society President Denise Fate states, “we are excited to partner with the library and are looking forward showcasing the De-pot to the hundreds of school children visiting.”
The Charlevoix Historical Society has been active since the late 1800’s. Its main mis-sion is to protect and preserve the iconic structures of Char-levoix: the South Pier Light-house, the Harsha House and
Museum, and the Railroad Depot. The Society also pro-vides community enrichment with programs and events to celebrate Charlevoix’s storied history.
Exhibit guides will be avail-able from 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. at both locations ev-ery Saturday of the exhibit. Guides will also be available for special group bookings. To book a group tour, call Val at 231.237.7360. For more de-tails about the Journey Stories exhibit, visit the website at: www.museumonmainstreet.org/journeystories/.

He installed the world’s first triple chair shortly after opening the Highlands, and later came Michigan’s first high-speed detachable quad chairlift. He was also a pioneer when it came to snowmaking and snow-grooming equip-ment.
His vision for the Highlands – and the Mountain – was year-round, and his desire to keep his employees on staff between ski seasons led to a foray into golf.
Operating a tractor himself, Everett Kircher carved out a nine-hole course at Boyne Mountain, then enlisted famed course architect Robert Trent Jones Sr. to design an 18-hole layout at the Highlands.
In 1966, The Heather opened its doors and took an
immediate spot among the top courses in the state, the Midwest and, eventually, the country.
It helped ignite the golf boom in Northern Michigan, which is now referred to as America’s Summer Golf Capi-tal. Eventually, three more courses were added at the Highlands and today Boyne is among the most prestigious names in the golf resort busi-ness with 10 Northern Michi-gan courses in the fold.
The growth on the slopes mirrored that of the links. Today, the Boyne Resorts portfolio stretches from Brit-ish Columbia to Washington to Utah and through the Midwest to Maine and New Hampshire and all the way south to the Great Mountains
in Tennessee.The company employs
some 8,000 annually includ-ing 1,600 in Michigan and upwards of 700 during peak times at the Highlands.
Boyne has turned the trick of fostering that growth while continuing to cultivate and improve the Highlands.
“The team at Boyne High-lands is so friendly and so service oriented,” Stephen Kircher says. “Our guest scores at Boyne Highlands are tops in the country. Boyne Highlands is always right neck and neck with the best of the resorts on the customer-ser-vice side. The team is so tight and so well-heeled.”
That is part – a big part – of the equation. Another aspect is facilities, and what Everett
Kircher nailed from the very beginning, the company con-tinues nurture today.
“We’ve got a lot of chair-lift upgrades that are in the plans for the coming decade and we’ll continue to focus to upgrade the golf courses,” Stephen Kircher says, adding that preliminary plans also call for an enhancement of the architecture throughout the property in general along with a revamping of the day lodge.
“We want to improve the customer experience in both the winter and the summer,” he says. “Continue to polish the apple and continue to enhance and build upon the DNA that makes Boyne High-lands the special place that it is today.”

World’s first triple chair debuted at Boyne Highlands Resort in 1963,
has only seen 59-inches of snowfall and currently has a 19-inch base).
In comparison, Lutz reports that some of the highest sea-sonal snowfall totals in north-west Michigan have come from the National Weather Service office in Gaylord — with 185 inches during the 2006-07 season, and 181 inches during the 2003-04 season.
“Petoskey probably won’t get to that point, but it’s not out of the question,” he said.
Lutz said there are no major storm systems on the hori-zon for the Petoskey/Harbor Springs area, but he says they are expecting below normal temperatures and above aver-age precipitation during the next two weeks.
“We’ll probably end up with a couple inches a day for a while,” he said. “For the most part, it’s not going to stop over the next two weeks.
“If you do see a break, you’re going to be the lucky one.”
As a response to the extreme conditions, area residents have been rushing to local hardware stores and stock-ing up on snow-removal products.
Rebecca Leitelt, store man-ager for Meyer Ace Hardware on U.S. 31 North, said busi-ness has been booming.
“We sold over 11 snow blow-ers on Saturday — that’s prob-ably a record for us in the last eight years,” she said. “We’ve completely sold out.”
Leitelt said many hardware stores in the area are having a difficult time getting snow blowers back in stock because

the companies that manufac-ture them have already begun shifting their efforts toward manufacturing lawnmowers.
“(Snow blowers) are very limited right now ... we can’t get them,” she said. “I think most businesses in Petoskey are in the same boat.”
In addition to snow blower sales, Leitelt said other snow and ice removal products are flying off the shelves, includ-ing: shovels, sleds, roof rakes and roof salts.
“Shovels are selling more than anything — the snow’s
been quite heavy and they’ve been breaking a lot,” she said. “Also, roof rakes are huge right now because there’s a lot of accumulation on people’s roofs.”
Leitelt said area residents are also purchasing items to combat the subzero tem-peratures.
“People have been request-ing a lot of face masks and hand warmers,” she said. “We’ve also been having trou-ble keeping heaters in stock.
“The whole Midwest has been so much colder than
normal.”Leitelt said she believes
people are having a difficult time with these conditions because the area has experi-enced mild winters during the last several years.
“This really is a normal northern Michigan winter, but we’ve been spoiled the last three years,” she said. “Now that we have so much snow, people seem lost and don’t know what to do with it.”

Scoring: Mikayla Dickison 13, Jessica Worm nine, Claire Fleming eight, Zoey Bezilla and Haley Rushing six, Sophie Schneider and Mia Trabucchi four, Avery Calnen two.
Coach Tom Brogger’s Comments: “We finally made it to Cedarville after two previous weather related cancellations. The roads were good this time and I guess you could say we weren’t too bad either. The 20 points we put up in the second quarter happens to be our largest point total for any one quarter this year. Shots were dropping and everyone was involved. Defensively as a team, we were only ‘so-so’ at times and this was a little surprising because typically by this time in the season, we’re more consistently very good. Jessica how-ever turned her defensive pressure into points as she scored a career high. Avery, Zoey, Haley and Mia were aggressive, at-tacking the rim in transition. Sophie rebounded well scoring her points on put backs while Miakayla and Claire controlled matters in the paint.”
Wed., Jan 22 at GraylingHarbor Springs 35, Graying 25
Scoring: Mikayla Dickinson 10, Claire Fleming nine, Jes-sica Worm six, Haley Rushing and Mia Trabucchi four, Zoey Bezilla two.
Coach’s Comments: Grayling seems to be one of those places where we always find a way to struggle with something. Well, this tradition lives on. In the first half, I thought our energy and focus was good. Our press break (they have a very good press) was as good as it’s ever been. Defensively we were strong and emotionally we were right on. Still, yet with all this going our way, we could not finish at the rim and found ourselves down by six. Thankfully there is a second half, because this is where things finally turned our way. With Mikayla and Claire (scoring leaders) in foul trouble it was Maddie Keely who stepped up and played an excellent game in the post. As mentioned Haley, Zoey and Mia did an especially good job attacking their press. Jessica had another good all around game and Avery Calnen played her role to a T.”
Varsity Girls BasketballFriday, Jan 17 at Boyne CityBoyne City 51, Harbor Springs 35
Scoring: Shallon Grawey 12 points, Stephanie Sylvain nine points; Perry Bower four, Alexa Jensen-Philbrick three, Morgan Reeves three, Libby Sylvain had two points and 16 rebounds, Maddy Savard two points.
Coach Jennifer Foley’s Comments: “Boyne City is a very athletic team. They like to get out and run in transition. They have the best point guard in the conference as well. We did a nice job holding her (Rainy McCune) to nine points on the night. Shallon and Stephanie were very aggressive driving to the basket for us and Libby was unbelievable grabbing both offensive and defensive rebounds.”
Monday, Jan 20 at CedarvilleCedarville 46-Harbor Springs 37
Scoring: Shallon Grawey nine pts, Morgan Reeves nine pts, Perry Bower five, Layne Compton five, Maddy Savard three, Alexa Jensen-Philbrick two, Stephanie Sylvain two, Betsey Simons two.
Coach’s Comments: “It is always tough to play in the UP however we really played great the entire game. We attacked their press pretty well and in the second half found some easy layups off of ball rotations. They had a point guard who has been on varsity as a freshman (she’s a senior now) who is very quick and broke down our defense well to set up her teammates. I am looking forward to playing them again on our court.”

Yet another animated movie that looked reasonably entertaining in the previews, but fails to entertain much beyond those snippets that we have already seen. This is the story of Surly, a squirrel that is exiled from the park for destroying the nut cache that had been stored for the winter. He hits the streets with his only friend, Buddy the Rat and they find, oddly enough, a nut store where they can pilfer what they need. What they don’t know is that the store is a front for a planned robbery. Confused? So were many of the kids; this movie tried too hard to be something for everyone and wound up failing for just about every segment of the audience.
Tons of talent was involved in the voicing of the char-acters. Will Arnett plays Surly and Rob Tinkler is Buddy. Also offering their vocal abilities were Brendan Fraser, Liam Neeson, Katherine Hiegl, Jeff Dunham and Maya Rudolph. (Interesting trivia side note: Rudolph’s mother was Minnie Riperton, whose biggest hit “Lovin’ You” was what she sang to Maya as a child.)
The animation is beautiful and the movie is blessedly short, so the little ones might be entertained if they aren’t looking for a cohesive story and just watching the ani-mated animals can keep their attention. Older children and definitely adults are not going to be as big of fans. Animated movies are most successful when they can entertain a range of ages and this one does not pull that off. There were a couple moments that made me smile, but no really funny sequences or lines that will be quoted when you leave the theater.
Rated PG, but I’m not sure why; there is no profanity, not even any frightening scenes. There are a couple mo-ments that I suppose could feasibly disturb very sensitive children, but I’m guessing it was more for a couple “inap-propriate” comments on bodily functions.

Reviews by Katie Capaldi
The Abominable, by Dan Simmons(Little Brown, $29.00)
The one-word title nearly sums this one up for me, as “abominable” could refer to so much about this book. Is it the size of the tome, coming in at over 650 pages? Or could it be a reference to Mount Everest, the nearly unattainable entity at the center of this sto-ry? Furthermore, this single word could as easily refer to the world as it exists in 1924. The ravages of World War I are very much alive in the character’s mental and physical injuries, prejudic-es and flashbacks. And, let us not forget that mythical being, thoughts of which most every reader will have at the forefront of his or her mind as we embark on this tale with Dan Simmons.
Brought together for their particular mountain climbing abili-ties, three men -- the young and academic American, Jake Perry; the inventive Chamonny guide, Jean-Claude; and their leader and a veteran of the Great War, the Deacon -- are tasked with an unusual mission. They have been given the opportunity to summit Mount Everest, all expenses paid, by the wealthy Lady Bromley. The catch: the Lady wants the trio to return having found the remains of her son, who disappeared on the moun-tain one year prior. The men agree, and so begins an expedition with far more dangers than even the tallest peak in the world could anticipate.
Teaming up with a band of sherpas, as well as the missing Lord Bromley’s female cousin, the group of climbers sets off from the tropical plantations of Darjeeling. Here comes that slow burn that Dan Simmons writes so well. The reader is guided through a Krakauer-esque adventure story of man versus nature. At times, I admit, the minutiae became a bit much for me. Extreme climb-ing is fascinating, to say the least, and Simmon’s research and clear awe of the sport are apparent, but the plot runs the risk of becoming bogged down in the details. Those with a passion for climbing will likely not feel the same.
The story for which I have immense respect is that which blends fact and fiction, without decisively claiming to be either. Simmons is one of the very few that does this so easily, while also managing to escalate the panic and foreboding doom to a heart-pounding pinnacle. Ultimately, we are met with a climax that is less intent on the confrontation between man and the mountain, and more wickedly revealing of the battle between individuals, and of the individual and his own dark propensities. The human mind becomes the most abominable place of all.
Burial Rites, by Hannah Kent(Little Brown, $26.00)
The young and brilliant Hannah Kent’s debut novel is set in an Iceland not nearly as frigid as Everest, but cold and distant all the same. Her prose, and that gorgeously seductive Icelandic language sprinkled throughout, contains all the easy mastery of a writer far more on in years and experience. With a nod to the cadence and song of the Norse eddas, so unfolds the story of Agnes Magnusdot-tir, a young woman who is orphaned, ma-nipulated, loved, accused of murder and beheaded in Iceland in the first part of the 19th century.
With an eye towards saving funds that would otherwise be di-rected towards the penal system, the Danish crown mandates that sentenced criminals take up residence with families in out-lying villages, pending execution. Agnes is one such convicted, is provided a reverend to help usher her soul into the hands of Christ, and is placed in the home of a family with two daughters close to her own age. It is in the company of these unexpectedly sympathetic listeners, and over the course of a year, that Agnes narrates her tale.
She begins her story with a haunting yet simple proclamation: “They said I must die. They said that I stole the breath from men. And now they must steal mine.” Little does the reader expect to feel the same -- to feel one’s breath stolen as the story unfolds.
It is easy to see how this singular person in history captured the author’s imagination, haunted her, and begged her to write this book. I too have not forgotten Agnes, but understand that it is not my mind which remains forever tied to the story. There is a hollowness that exists somewhere in my insides, as though a chilly draft snuck in and carried a little piece of me away as I turned the final page. It is a pleasant ache and a brave and for-midable writer that can wield that power. Dan Simmons might prey on the mind, but Hannah Kent targets the heart.
