The on-going volley about the possible removal of the downtown Harbor Springs waterfront tennis courts came to an end during City Council’s meeting on Monday, Janu-ary 20. During the Council’s “New/Old Business” portion of the meeting agenda, newly elected councilman Jeff James made a motion to remove the courts; it was seconded by Prin-gle Pfeifer, and approved in a 4-1 vote (John Cupps was the lone vote against the motion).

According to city manager Tom Richards, the motion included the removal of the Bay Street tennis courts; to restore the site with lawn for general public use; proposed Council’s future discussion of pos-sible relocation of the courts.

In an email interview Tuesday morning, Mayor Al Dika said he was pleased with the turn of events.

“The meeting was pretty dry and matter of fact until new and old busi-ness, when Jeff (James) proposed that we remove the courts as soon as possible and replace them with grass for the time being. Simply non-fenced, unpaved open space that can be used by more than eight people at a time,” Dika said.

“Nearly every downtown improve-ment plan we have seen over the past 10 or more years has started with the removal of the tennis courts,” the Mayor added. “The draft Mas-ter Plan discusses their removal from the waterfront with possible relocation somewhere in town. The Harbor Commission has taken the position the the tennis courts are not essential to the function of the marina and has recommended the courts removal.”

Dika added that the decision was supported by a tennis court use in-ventory conducted by camera last summer and by the women’s group that is the most regular user group of the space.

Noting that there was a quick second to the motion, and very little discussion before approval, Dika said the many conversations and re-

For cross country skiers in northern Michigan, the start of Februrary means one thing: it’s Loppet time! This annual point-to-point back-country skiing adventure is one of the area’s most well-loved nordic events and takes place on Sunday, February 2. Low key and low tech, The Outfitter’s Loppet offers a 16-mile route that is only accessible during the yearly ski tour.

“There is no check-in, no official starting gate, no bibs, numbers, or the like. Trail junctions are marked with a sharpie on paper plates and cell-phone reception is not always available or reliable,” said Molly Ames Baker, who along with her husband, Josh, owns The Outfitter in Harbor Springs.

New owner shares plans for former Petoskey Pointe siteAt least a year before any site work beginsBy Christina RohnSpecial to Harbor Light Newspaper

It will be at least a year before resi-dents and visitors to the Petoskey area see progress at the site of the former Petoskey Pointe develop-ment project.

According to Elias Amash — new owner of the vacant property at 200 E. Lake St. — he has a vision to develop the land into a “commu-nity centric and beautiful entry” to downtown Petoskey.

Ultimately, he says his plan is to work with a team of experts in market research, program development and urban planning to develop the site for mixed commercial use.

“Parking will be an integral com-ponent to this project,” Amash said. “It will possibly have a hotel, restau-rant and maybe office space, to name a few things.

“I plan to make the area both memorable and a magnet for public use ... we want to make Petoskey the diamond of the north.”

Amash said, however, that the development will take some time.

“This will take years — we must be patient,” he said. “This is a marathon ... not a sprint.

“It will be at least a year before a shovel goes into the ground.”

One of his first orders of business will be to change the name of the project.

“The name is yet to be deter-mined,” Amash said. “I believe the name will be important in changing

The Crooked Tree Art Center opened the 2014 Juried Photography Exhibition announcing award winners for excellence in photography. The juror for this year’s exhibition was Mount Clemens native Jenny Risher who received her bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography at the Detroit’s College for Creative Studies. She released her first book in 2013, HeartSoul Detroit to rave reviews.

In her juror’s statement Risher explains the qualities that she was seeking while making her selections: “For me, I judged primarily on emotion… while using other qualities that signify a photograph of award winning caliber. In selecting works I let the images themselves guide my decisions, allowing certain associations and connections to reveal themselves. I was not attached to a certain genre or style; all areas of photography are represented: still life, nudes, abstract, documentary, landscape, portraits. This collage of selected imagery collectively paints a portrait of our lives. One that is beautiful, personal and in some ways very American,

Participation num-bers hit 454 at the main registration booth, but Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club President Joe Kuchnicki believed over 500 showed up for the event and the famous ‘bean soup.’

“I’ve had a lot of compliments already,” said Kuchnicki. “Every-body was super happy with the bean soup, which they always are thanks to our head cook Tom Beck and the rest of the soup crew including: Gary Brainerd including: Ron Ira, John Peterson, Paul Kloss, Dave Price, Pat Springate, Don Cheshire, Mike Bigelow, John Tallon, Tim Parsons, Dick Schlappi, John Cupps Sr., Evan

Old Harbor Springs

Views of the Past

Real Estate

Keeping the roads clear was no easy task when the snow banks

towered several feet above the cars.

To the City of Harbor Springs:

I am feeling a great sense of gratitude, and wanted to write this letter not only to send Christmas wishes, but to thank the Harbor Light Newspaper and many of the local shopkeepers for adding to the real meaning of the holidays for myself and my good friend. Although I was not lucky enough to return for a fall visit as I had planned when I wrote to this paper about 6 months ago, somehow the essence of that trip was able to come to my friend.

I wrote in July to tell you about a visit I made to Harbor Springs with my very special college friend that I will call Ellen. She does not know that I have shared our previous trip with you, but I will tell her when it is appropriate. I’d like to share a short update on her progress and an explanation about some special things that have happened since I last wrote.

Ellen made the decision to fight the return of cancer, even after completing treatments beginning 4 years ago. It was not an easy decision, primarily because she does not want her fight to be a concern to others and because it is not easy to have the same optimism when cancer makes a return visit. Those of us who love and want to keep her in our lives of course felt differ-ently, but since she was the one suffering even more medical intervention and a decline in the quality of her life, it had to be her choice. Since July she has started those treatments, and I have been able to be with her for part of that time. I live out of state, but even with my limited visits, I have a much better appreciation for what she endures. I won’t go into detail, but I am so glad that her medical team embraces the hope and optimism for the positive outcome that she richly deserves. She is a candidate for a very rigorous clinical trial, and she is working hard to meet the criteria for acceptance.

That leads me to extend a special thanks to the Harbor Springs “connection”. At the time of our visit in June, Ellen’s decision to continue to fight came in part from a desire to make a return visit this fall to your lovely city. When my original let-ter was first published, some of our college friends recognized my name and/or deduced the identity of Ellen, and she and I were contacted by a few long-lost friends from all parts of the state. Luckily, she just assumed it was coincidence, and the reason for their contact remains a well-kept secret.

When it became apparent that we could not travel north this fall, several friends made the trip and documented their travels for her. I’d liken it to an adult version of the flat Stanley activity that many children do in elementary school, with lots of images in the city, at the waterfront, on the tunnel of trees drive, and at many other landmarks. The fall images were breathtaking and several photos were enlarged and are now hanging on the wall of the room where she spends much of her time.

While in Harbor, the friends picked up a variety of local “souvenirs” that have special meaning to her. As the friends asked local merchants for suggestions, they responded not only with wonderful ideas, but also with interest and sincere compassion. She wears the soft fleece hat from the Outfitters daily, and it brings her much warmth and comfort. There is a small glass pumpkin from the glass works that catches the afternoon light perfectly and casts a warm glow over most of the room. There is a shadow box with leaves, and fall fronds with some beach sand that also holds a photo of the friends that collected them. Her favorite store on the last visit car-ried many beautiful home décor items, and she now has a silver frame from them that holds a photo of the view of the harbor from the bluff drive. It captures a breathtaking sunset with just the right amount of orange glow over dusky waves. The materialistic value of these gifts is not what makes them important to us. Knowing that there were people from Harbor Springs that cared enough to make this missed trip as real as possible for her is the most gratifying for me, because I see that it adds to her resolve. I know that these items bring Ellen comfort from the daily reminder that there are people who love

Editor’s Note: This letter was submitted in December and was mistakenly overlooked until this week.

To the Editor:

I had the privilege of attending the first of two Piranha hockey games Saturday, January10.

I attended the game with a friend and each of our four-year-old daughters. If you missed the December fourth article in The Harbor Light the Piranhas are an under 14 girls hockey team made up of Harbor Springs and Petoskey area youth. This was an excellent experience that I would like to encourage others with young girls to enjoy. The hockey is very good, but more importantly the team takes the time to meet with the young girls. They invited our daughters back into the locker room to meet the team, and were sure to come up to them after the game and thank them for coming. I applaud the coaching staff and parents for understanding that their daughters are more than hockey players, but rather pioneers of their sport. I encourage all in the community to support the team and its players by stopping out for a game and cheering them on. The next game on the Piranha schedule is 10AM on Saturday January 25 against the GRAHA Griffins of Grand Rapids.

Thank you,Jordan Dutcher

‘Simple acts of kindness’ - A Letter to Harbor Springs

her and tangible memories of a place that brings her peace.So, pardon my rambling thoughts here, but I am filled with

such thankfulness to acknowledge that it is these simple acts of kindness that can literally change the outcome in the life of someone else. I truly believe I will someday come back to visit your very special city. In my mind’s eye right now I envision a lovely main street with Christmas lights and people stopping by those wonderful shops that helped brighten Ellen’s spirit. I don’t think Currier and Ives could have rendered it better than I imagine it to look. Thank you again for helping to bring the real spirit of Christmas to me and also my friend this holiday.

I’ve included a few more snapshots taken in late summer of 1966. I found them recently when a group of Ellen’s friends converged with me to create some scrapbooks of noteworthy moments of her life. They were in her collection of photos from the mission trip to Harbor Springs made by her church youth group. I think you might recognize some of the Harbor residents, (Reverend Drew) and perhaps some of the seniors in the residence home where they assisted. The last is a group shot of her youth group at the Presbyterian Church, and yes, Ellen is in that photo.

Most sincerelyLexie Parker

Redmond Friendship Cross Village (RFC) Fire Depart-ment responded to a structure fire at 3046 South Lake Shore Drive, on Sunday, January 19, at approximately 8:16 a.m. The structure, a guest house, was fully engulfed upon the arrival of firefighters. No one was at the residence at the time of the fire, which was tripped by an alarm company.

The fire resulted in a com-plete loss of property due to difficulties in climate and topography.

“The high winds and in-accessibility (due to a long unplowed driveway) made it difficult to fight,” said Don Horn, RFC Fire Chief. “The fire is still under investigation.”

Approximately 50 firefight-ers were on hand to assist in fire operations.

“We had about 50 people on scene from Redmond, Harbor Springs Area Fire Department, Pellston Fire Department, Carp Lake Fire Department along with Allied EMS and the County Sheriff’s Department,” said Horn.

No one was injured dur-ing the incident and crews cleared the scene around 1:00 p.m. Sunday.

Vice-Chair of the Harbor Springs Downtown Development Authority, Kathie Breighner, shared the following update on what the DDA is currently has on its docket:

--The design committee is working on two plans for the waterfront, one with the harbormaster near the Pier and the other near where it is now, only closer to Bay Street (to allow for vehicle access from Bay but still having a green space in front of the building).

-- The second annual retail spaces open house will take place on February 15, 12-3pm, meeting at Coolhouse Labs on Main Street. There are currently nine retail/restaurant spaces in downtown for sale, with another four available for rent.

-- We are proceeding with steps to establish a base for a Tax Increment Financing (TIF), as well as looking at an assessment within the Central Business District similar to those in our neighboring communities. We have accom-plished a great deal with just volunteers, but an assessment would let us hire someone to focus on the downtown as well as apply for grants and special project funds.

Update on Downtown Development Authority

moval plans listed in a variety of commissions/waterfront improvement efforts proved it was the right time to make the decision.

“We have talked about

change and improvement and public access to public property and ‘what choice best serves the common good’ for many years,” Dika said. “It is my hope that our decision last night kick-starts

the implementation of many of the other good ideas that are bouncing around this town.”

Asked for his comments Tuesday morning, council-man James declined to add anything.

City Manager Richards said he will consult with experts on an appropriate removal timeline, and that the goal is to do so as early as possible.

In other Council business, Etta’s Food Truck was ap-proved to participate in the town’s “Wintervention”-- a revival of the winter festival that once was a tradition in downtown Harbor Springs. Festival organizers were at the meeting, and Richards sent along the following informa-tion for the event, which will take place February 15-16. In addition to Etta’s Food Truck operating out of the Hotel Janelle Parking Lot, Council approved: an ice boat display in the City’s “Bayfront Park” area on the south side of Bay Street at Gardner Street; sled dog exhibit and demonstra-tion at upper Zorn Park; horse drawn sleigh rides (without charge)-- hayrides on a tractor-pulled trailer are being considered as an alter-native; Broom Ball games at Zorn Park.

the paradigm of the com-munity.”

Amash, a 41-year-old busi-nessman from Grand Rapids and owner of GRIP on Tools, purchased the property in December from Northwest-ern Bank of Traverse City for an undisclosed amount after developers with the Cottage Company in Harbor Springs did not renew a purchase agreement, citing concerns regarding financial risk.

The city block has sat vacant since 2007 when a $60 mil-lion hotel and condominium project failed.

Amash said he has watched the progression of the proper-ty since he and his wife began visiting the area in 2005. In 2009, they purchased a home in downtown Petoskey.

Ever since, Amash says he has wanted to contribute to the vitality of the community.

“This area means every-thing to me now ... I pur-chased a home here because it’s beautiful, the people are friendly and the feel of the town is amazing,” he said. “I see great things coming for northern Michigan.”

Amash, who admittedly has no experience in property development, said he is look-ing forward to being the man who turns the failed project site into a thriving city block.

“Development is not my area of expertise ... I believe that will be a benefit to me because I can bring a fresh new perspective,” he said. “People in the industry can sometimes have blind spots — the eye that sees cannot see itself.

“Getting out of my com-fort zone is something I find important for growth and maturation as a person.”

Amash said, during the next several years he looks forward to working closely with offi-cials from the city of Petoskey, Northern Lakes Economic Al-liance, as well as many others to make the project a success.

“This project is not about me, it’s about the city of Peto-skey and its citizens — this is for future generations,” he said. “I love the city of Petos-key and I am going to make sure we create a win-win situation that everyone can be proud of.”

It’s amazing how perspective shapes our likes and dislikes. Remember being a kid and each new snowfall was an amazing thing? At best, it meant no school the next day, but even at worst, it meant a new wonderland for playing. Light, fluffy snow was good for making snow angels and skiing but packing snow was better. That meant snow forts and snowball fights and sledding.

Do you remember when we wore boots that went over our shoes? When they didn’t slide on easily, our mothers had us wear bread bags in our boots to make them easier to put on and take off? Then big ole’ clunky snowmobile boots came along with their felt lin-ers. They were warmer, but running in those things was a practical impossibility. After we lost several pairs of mittens in the first week of winter, we were forced to use the mitten

strings that attached to our mittens and went through out coats. That was humiliation to the max if you were older than six but honestly, I could use some of those now; I still rarely have a matching set of mittens or gloves. I swear if Mom could have gotten away from stapling my hat to my head so I wouldn’t lose that, she would have done it. We all wore the knit hats with the long tail down the back and the pom-pom at the end; I can’t tell you how many hat and mitten sets Mrs. Murchie provided for us. Then came Ali McGraw and her tight fit-ting, iconic knit hat in Love Story and our long tailed hats went by the wayside.

I’m not sure how it is han-dled now, but unless you were on death’s doorstep or you had a letter from your mom claiming that you were aller-gic to cold air or something, you went outside for recess,

regardless of the weather. I remember huddling in the doorways on cold days, trying to get what little shelter you could from that. The morning and afternoon recesses were bearable, but on cold days that lunch hour break seemed to last forever.

Until the high school dress code changed in the early seventies, girls had to wear dresses to school and when the weather behaved like it is now, that was not fun. You had two options, either wear snow pants under your dress and look like a complete zero or freeze. Keeping in mind that the style of the day was shorter skirts, that freezing thing was too real a possibil-ity on some days. Hat hair was always an issue, too; you could either have flat hair or non-frost bitten ears and ear muffs help, but they just aren’t as warm. Teen aged minds almost always put style before

comfort, so we froze. That trek from the high school to Shay for lunch seemed much lon-ger with a North wind blowing up your skirt, I promise you that, and I guarantee you that we didn’t loiter.

As adults, we seem to only think about what this cold spell is going to do to our heat-ing and energy costs or how many more times we’ll need to be plowed out and how much we’ll owe for that. This has been one of the prettiest winters that I can remember in some time, but it is not going to be a cheap one on many levels.

Very deep condolences go-ing out to the Keller family on the passing on Anthony Keller Sr. I say the Keller family, but in addition to his eight children and numer-ous grandchildren and great grandchildren, he also left seven siblings and countless other relatives. Always a

smiling face in Leg’s Inn back in the Alex Smolak days, Mr. Keller will be missed by many.

We need to wish some Hap-py Birthdays this week, first on January 22 to Avery Smo-linski who is celebrating a first birthday. January 23, we wish a Happy Birthday to Bob Humphrey and the 24th to Marilyn Kors, Liz Smith and Kathy Bodzick. On January 25 we send birthday wishes to Shelli Young, Ken Fowler and a Happy 2nd Birthday to Clete Fisher. January 26 both Larry and Colleen McRoberts are celebrating and January 27 we wish a Happy Birthday to Greg Erwin and Perry Irish Hodgson. Happiest of birthday thoughts going out to Karen Bradley, Rick Major and Greg Smith on the 28th and to Debra Schirmer on the 29th.

The Great Lakes Chamber Orchestra “Sunday Series” will host soloist Jamie Platte, accompanied by Peter Sims, for a “Songs of Love and Loss” performance on January 26 at the First Congregational United Church of Christ in Charlevoix,

The concert, which will also include performances by the Charlevoix Saxophone Quartet. (joined by Jayne Winchester, also on saxophone), will begin at 4 p.m. Admission is free. The Sunday Series provides the community the opportunity to experience an intimate musical event.

Platte attended Eastern Michigan University, where she majored in vocal music education and minored in art. She expresses her love of music by performing , teaching, and leading the Voices Without Borders children’s choral group, the Treble Singers. She also performs with the Little Traverse Civic Theatre.

Platte said she has wanted to perform the songs in Sunday’s program for a long time, and will be singing in four languages.

Sims taught high school vocal music in Indianapolis before moving to Harbor Springs in 2002 to become the director of Music Ministry at the First Presbyterian Church of Harbor Springs. As former director of the Northern Michigan Chorale, and in his continuing role as chorus master of the Great Lakes Chamber Orchestra, he has experience with many vocalists and other musicians.

The Sunday Series of programs are presented free of charge with the support of the Roger and Peggy Dicken Schwer Fund administered by the Petoskey/Harbor Springs Area Commu-nity Foundation.

It was a great market last Saturday, the weather cooperated, the sun came out, and we had a wonderful time with our shoppers! If you weren’t able to make it, you missed the first of the winter carrots from Country Gardens...but never fear, they will be back at the Harbor Springs Winter Farmers Market this week. Winter carrots are incredibly sweet and full of flavor, come have a taste. We hear that the scones and cookies will be joined by chilled soup this week. That will definitely be worth a trip to town (winter market is housed in the Harbor Springs Middle School every Saturday from 9 a.m.-1 p.m.)! Sam’s eggs continue to be popular (get there early~they go FAST) along with the delicious meat his grandpa, Dick Gregory, raises. Five Lakes Coffee will warm you up and Maple Moon will round out the breakfast table with tummy pleasing syrup and honey. We hope by now that everyone has become a fan of Two Acre Farm’s pasta and pesto. If not, what the heck are you waiting for?! Pot pies are a great way to finish a day on the slopes and market is just the place to get them. And if you’ve been at work or on the slopes all week, drop in for some goats’ milk soap and a massage to soothe your muscles and get you into “weekend mode”.

Meet you at the market,Cyndi Kramer, Market Master

The Polar Vortex, or whatever they want to call it this time, is back as temperatures Tuesday morning in northern Michigan ranged from about -21 to -15 or lower, but who really cares once it gets that cold. The good news is that last Saturday was a great day for the Moosejaw with tem-peratures in the mid-20s! With the east coast getting hit with another winter storm, blizzard warnings out there, the west hit with raging fires and a seri-ous drought, perhaps we actu-ally are okay! Predictions are for continued very cold conditions with snow arriving on Saturday. Stay warm!

North Country Kids Winter Update -Submitted by Karen Ford, NCK board member

After a well deserved Christ-mas holiday break, January has found North Country Kids Community Preschool and Daycare (NCK) is in full swing and bustling with activ-ity. Winter’s bountiful snow has provided fantastic snow mountains for the kids to play on. Inside, NCK has been lucky enough to have Katie

Capaldi, owner of Between the Covers, share her many dance talents. Every other Wednesday, Katie comes to the Woodland and Blue Forest rooms and leads the children in creative movement, often culminating in relaxing mas-sage time. Lucky kids!!

NCK also runs Nub’s Cubs, daycare provider for Nub’s Nob. Children there have been busy playing, allowing Moms and Dads the chance to ski and shred. Arts and crafts, cookie decorating, and making new friends has been the name of the game. More information about the Nub’s Cubs program can be found by calling Nub’s Nob or NCK.

The NCK board is busy planning a February Fam-ily Fun Day at Kiwanis Park; all current and former NCK family members are invited to come sled and celebrate winter with hot chocolate, cookies and good company. Stay tuned for more details!

Coach Jennifer Foley’s Comments: “Gaylord St Mary’s is ranked #6 in the Class D poll right now. There never is a so called good loss, but I am pleased with how we competed the entire game. Stephanie hit some outside shots which extended Gaylord St Mary’s defense which opened up things for Shallon and Libby down low. We had a great mix of offensive threats which made us pretty hard to guard.”

up at their place before break, we had a hard time replicating that tonight. Whether it was the absence of David (Walker) tonight, or something else, I know we can’t make excuses for our effort. Cedarville is a very good team, but we have to hold ourselves to a higher standard of intensity than we did tonight.”

Friday, Jan 17 at Boyne CityBoyne City 77, Harbor Springs 41

Scoring: Peter Kelbel 15 pts, David Walker 14 ptsCoach’s Comments: “Boyne City is an excellent team with

a lot of weapons. They shot the ball “lights out” tonight and we had no answer. I thought our effort was much better than Tuesday night and we never quit, but our fundamentals have to improve to keep up with a good team like that. We turned the ball over too many times to keep up, but we definitely can build on some things.”

Two Harbor Springs area hockey players helped their team capture a Champion-ship this weekend at the Mo-town Cup Pee Wee AA hockey tournament in Metro Detroit. The Northern Avalanche Pee Wee team faced teams from Novi, Kalamazoo, Grosse Pointe, and Chicago. The team started off the weekend by beating the Kalamazoo K-Wings 4-3 on Friday. Saturday found the Avalanche beating the Novi Ice Cats (6-1) then losing to the Michigan Ice Hawks 2-1. Sunday’s semi-final was against the same Michigan Ice Hawks, but the Avalanche prevailed with a 3-1 win. The Championship game saw the Avalanche beat the Chicago Blues (gold) 4-1 to take home the trophy.

Local Harbor Springs Pee Wee hockey players earn trophy

Scoring: Mikayla Dickinson 18; Harmony Lange eight; Claire Fleming and Haley Rushing six; Avery Calnen, Zoey Bezille, Jessica Worm, Sophie Schneider and Mia Trabucchi two. No other stats available.

Coach Tom Brogger’s comments: “ St Mary has a very tal-ented, very young team that had only one loss coming into this game. I thought we started the game with great energy in our press and even better “help defense” in the half-court. The score at the half was in our favor by 13 points and that was basically the difference in the game. We played very well in the second half but so did our opponent. Mikayla had another good game including aggressive play/(steals) in our press. Harmony reacted very well when a good shot was in front of her. She really sees the floor as good as any anybody. Haley did a very good job with extended time at point guard. Claire, I know had a huge number of rebounds. Avery was solid and went 2 for 2 from the line. Sophie had a good game. She plays calmly and with very few mistakes. When it was done it was a win that felt very good. Everyone had a positive influence in the outcome”

Thursday, Jan 16 home vs Boyne CityHarbor Springs 36, Boyne City 34

Scoring: Mikayla Dickinson 17, Claire Fleming 11, Zoey Bezilla four, Haley Rushing and Mia Trabucchi two. Rebounds: Mikayla nine, Claire 7, Mia 6, Haley 3, Zoey, Jessica Worm and Haley one. Steals: Jessica eight, Haley and Mikayla three, Zoey and Mia two, Maddie Keely one.

Comments: “This was a big game for us. We talked about it before hand just to see how we would react when there’s a little extra on the line. Boyne was undefeated, they are a con-ference opponent and we needed to experience that big game feeling. We are a JV team and at this point we don’t play for championships and trophies. The game itself had a number of momentum shifts from one team to the other. I was especially pleased with the way we played so composed in the final three minutes. Coming back from four points down allowed us to be in position for Jessica to throw the perfect pass to Mikayla

who was able to hold their top scorer to just 6 points. Zoey was very sharp offensively and defensively with very little rest. Jessica’s tough “D”, I’m sure was very unsettling for our op-ponent and Mia was aggressive pushing the ball up the floor on our break. Something else I can really appreciate was we did all this without Harmony Lange, who injured her knee in practice the night before.

ABove & Beyond: LocAL service exceLLenceWith this issue we begin an occasional feature focused on stories of exceptional customer service submitted by our local businesses and service organizations and their clients and customers. Recently the Petoskey Regional Chamber of Com-merce announced an initiative to bring customer service and hospitality to a higher standard in this area. Their new program, Hospitality the Little Traverse Way, which was launched in June 2013, has the ultimate goal of elevating the “service culture” of the Little Traverse Bay Region, according to Chamber officials. In this spirit of service, hospitality and just plain small town helpfulness, the Harbor Light begins here with a report from Meyer Ace Hardware in Harbor Springs. To submit similar ex-amples of service excellence, email: [email protected]. Not all submissions will be published and we reserve the right to edit and publish, or not publish, at our discretion.

They saw an opportunity, and they grabbed hold of it.

For Joe Guthrie and Keith Lynch, it was a no-brainer to purchase the property where Tapperooney’s Restaurant & Lounge and The Flying Dutchman once flourished.

The business partners acquired the 3-acre lot, located at 3018 M-119 in Harbor Springs, in 2013 and have plans to open Vernales Restaurant— an Italian chop house, wine and sports bar — in May.

“This place has been sitting here too long,” said Lynch, owner and executive chef for Goodfellow’s Restaurants on Mackinac Island and now Vernales Restaurant. “I’ve had my eye on this place for eight years — it was just a matter of time.”

Lynch is a graduate of The Florida Culinary Institute in West Palm Beach. He stud-ied for several years under world-famous chef, Richard Ruiz, during his time at La Vieille Maison in Boca Raton. Shortly thereafter, he moved to northern Michigan to be-come executive chef for Teddy Griffin’s Roadhouse in Harbor Springs.

While there, he met Guthrie, a graduate of finance from Western Michigan University, who was managing Birch-

wood Farms Golf & Country Club at the time.

The two formed a bond before relocating to opposite ends of the state in 2002, when Lynch moved to Mackinac Island to start Goodfellow’s Restaurants. Soon thereafter, Guthrie moved to Kalamazoo to manage the Kalamazoo Country Club.

“We just get each other,” Guthrie said. “We see eye-to-eye.”

Recently, the two teamed up when Guthrie moved to Mackinac Island to become general manager of Goodfel-low’s Restaurants. However, the pair decided to start their own venture — separate from Lynch’s restaurant on Macki-nac Island — by opening Vernales.

Both business partners say this restaurant will give them a chance to be closer to fam-ily in the Harbor Springs and Alanson area year-round.

“The demands on the island are so strong for six months, and we wanted to be able to have more of a family life,” Guthrie said.

Last year, Guthrie passed by the old Tapperooney’s lo-cation while he and his wife were driving to their storage unit, and says he was stopped in his tracks when he saw the for sale sign.

“I got a tour of the inside from the landscaper who was onsite,” he said. “Afterward,

I called Keith and said, ‘We gotta figure out how to buy this place.’”

Guthrie says the layout of the building offers them a chance to segment their restaurant into three unique dining experiences — a sports bar toward the front entrance; a wine bar, tucked intimately in between; and the chop-house, which is farthest from the entrance.

Guthrie said having a multi-concept restaurant is bold for the area, but says he believes it will help them stand apart from other establishments.

“We wanted a place that would appeal to every demo-graphic,” he said. “This area doesn’t have a steak house, so we will specialize in that; there’s no non-chain sports bar here, and there’s really no Italian.

“We wanted to hit all the holes.”

The menu and style of each segment of the restaurant is drastically different.

The sports bar will feature a 25-stool bar, with tables seat-ing another 80 guests in the upper and lower portion of the space. Guthrie said the bar features a stage, and will have flat-screen TV’s, “everywhere you look.” In the summer, they will open the patio for outdoor dining.

Its menu will feature pizza, wings, burgers, flatbread, steaks and seafood, as well

as a variety of beer, wine and other refreshments.

The wine bar, on the other hand, will appeal to a more high-end clientele. The room will be accented with Oak and Black Walnut hardwood.

“It’s a rich, warm, cozy envi-ronment,” Guthrie said. “Very intimate.”

The bar, which is adjacent to a temperature-controlled wine cellar, will seat 10 peo-ple. Two more high-top tables near the bar seat eight guests, and the area leading up to the bar will seat another 30.

Guthrie said the wine bar will specialize in wine flights and pairings with an on-site sommelier, as well as offer a specialty dinner menu to its guests.

Last, but not least, the chophouse will be “upscale,

casual,” according to Guthrie.It will feature butcher-block

style tables, with vaulted ceil-ings, a fieldstone fireplace and seating for 80 guests.

The menu will feature steak, seafood, fresh fish, pasta and other Italian cuisine.

“At Vernales you can have a different experience every night,” Lynch said. “You can have a meatball sub, or you can have the best steak you’ve ever eaten.”

Guthrie said he wants Ver-nales to become a destination for residents throughout the area, as well as those who are visiting.

“I think it can become a great place for people and their families to build memories,” he said. “I want people to have their child’s first communion celebration here, or come order

a pizza after their kids have just won the football game.”

Guthrie said they plan to host seasonal and family-friendly events, including Halloween parties for adults and children, as well as a Santa brunch and Easter egg hunt, to name a few.

Beyond the décor, menu and planned festivities, Guth-rie said Vernales will boost the local economy by bringing more than 35 new jobs to the area.

In mid-November, a severe storm with torrential rain passed through Harbor Springs that left Pat Masuch, property manager for the Greens in Birchwood, scram-bling to care for one flooded residence, and another on the brink of flooding.

A local ‘Moment of Truth’

into his truck and had him heading back to Birchwood in a matter of minutes.

In a thank you letter written to owner Dave Meyer, Masuch

said “The precious time your crew helped me save pre-vented severe damage to two residences.”

Masuch went on to note

Masuch raced to Meyer Ace Hardware in Harbor Springs to get much-needed sand-bags to protect properties. While the store was about to close-- and while Masuch did not have money on hand to pay for the 20, 70-pound bags of sand he needed-- Meyer employees Amanda Bell, Ron Hewitt, and Andrew White immediately jumped into ac-tion. They helped Masuch get the sandbags quickly loaded

that his positive business relationship with Meyer Ace Hardware proved the impor-tance of community, and lo-cally owned businesses.

“This ‘relationship’ really made the difference on Sun-day,” he wrote of his experi-ence. “Ron allowed me to leave without paying, on my promise that I’d be in Mon-day morning to pay for the sandbags. I realize that there is no possible way that I would have been able to do this with a ‘big box’ store and this is just another great reason to support local businesses like yours...Thanks again for being there for us.”

As a result of this interac-tion, Meyer nominated the three employees who helped Masuch for an Ace Hardware Corporation “Moment of Truth” award, which they all received. The award recog-nizes outstanding customer service. Hewitt, White, and Bell were sent letters from

John Venhuizen, the president and CEO of Ace Hardware Corporation, acknowledging the importance of their inter-actions with Masuch.

In the letter addressed to Hewitt, Venhuizen wrote, “when it’s sheeting rain and the store is closing, leaping into action with your col-leagues to load 70-pound sandbags onto a truck is highly commendable. Im-pressing customers through your kindness, knowledge and excellence in service are the qualities that inspired this customer to write an appreciation note to owner, Dave Meyer.”

As Masuch stated perfectly in that letter, “it can be very tough to make a go of business in a small town like Harbor Springs, but I wanted to let you know how much you are appreciated.”

This no-fuss, no-muss, go-at-your-own-pace ski might be low on fancy, but it’s high on fun and friendship. The point-to-point, classic-only ski starts on LaCount Road between 9:30-10 a.m., with a freshly groomed single track trail winding all the way to The Crow’s Nest restaurant, south of Cross Village.

“The Crow’s Nest awaits with a full-on skiers buffet with homemade pizza, other hot dishes, salads, desserts and more,” Ames Baker said. Festivities at the Cross Nest run from 12:00-3:00 p.m..

The Loppet is limited to the first 120 skiers who register. Registration ends Saturday, February 1. Skiers can register at The Outfitter in downtown Harbor Springs or online, www.outfitterharborsprings.com

This is not one for the faint of heart. This movie is intense and gritty, not a feel good movie to make you smile. Based on the memoir by the same name by Marcus Luttrell, this is the story of Luttrell and his team and a mission to take out an al Qaeda leader, Ahmad Shah (Yousuf Azami) and is probably closer to a true story than most of what Hol-lywood offers.

The movie opens with some special forces training scenes, I imagine trying to help us understand what these soldiers go through, but the story actually starts 15 minutes or so into the film, when the mission begins.

There are some VERY intense action scenes in this movie, this is a war more up close and personal than most of us probably actually want to see it but it does give a little more understanding of the situation. I heard an interview with a former Navy SEAL and he felt that this movie was very successful at portraying not just the war but the way men felt about each other; he referred to zero Hollywood propaganda and I’ll take his word on that.

As you can guess from the title, this was not a success-ful mission. This movie is more about the dedication that these men felt to each other and what lengths they would go to for their team and that is inspiring. It also didn’t make the SEALS unit a perfect machine, as some recent movies have. Mistakes are made, but the effort and the heroism never falters.

The acting is very good, Wahlberg in particular is excel-lent. This is probably the best work that I have seen from him The war scenes are a little too brutal for my personal taste, but I’m guessing that is because I don’t like to think about what our soldiers go through; it’s not comfortable. This puts it front and center. Imagine the Normandy beach scene from Saving Private Ryan going on for a third of the movie; that’s the kind of intensity this movie offers. I also wish that we would have gotten to know a little more about the lives of the characters, but the spotlight here is on the relationship they have with each other, with not so much time spent on their friends and family before the war.

Rated R, there is almost constant profanity and as I mentioned, very graphic violence. This movie is not for younger children but if the children are a little older and not too sensitive, there are good lessons to take away from this movie.
