Medical excellence.Made for babies.
Treating a child is not the same as treating
an adult. This simple fact led to the creation
of the largest, most advanced childrens
hospital in West Michiganwhere more
than 50 pediatric specialties and programs
meet the unique needs of kids, from infancy
to age 18. For parents and children alike,
theres no place quite like it. Helen DeVos

Heres number 4. We hope we are
becoming ondly amiliar to you. Maybe
you know us by name? (Or notwe still
love you i you are reading this!) Maybe you have
gured out where to pick up this new niche o a ree
liestyle magazine? Hello! Its everywhere. Well, we
try to be. But we can always do better, so helpusalongandsuggestplaceswhereyouwouldlike
topickthemagazineup. You do know you can
also read us online, right? Have you been on our
Facebook page? We share stunning photos o this
area we all call home every day. Be our riend, LIKE
us and join in the revolution.
So ar, summer is sizzlingjust like this issue. We
actually had to add pages! This is a good problem
and we welcome our new advertisers with open arms.
There are so many, I think we need bigger arms! And
o course we thank them or their wonderul support.
Our magazine comes to YOU ree. (I know, you cantbelieve itwere crazy!) How do we do this, you ask?
Our advertisers help pay or this immense quality, so
please pay it orward. YOU can help me thank them
in a BIG WAY by shopping local and choosing their
businesses. Tell them you saw them in our glossy
magazine (so they keep advertising)!
Did you love the cover shot? As my good riend
Chris Klau says, Amazingness! Who knew we had
shipwrecks right here in the Bay. This eature will
intrigue you and maybe even inspire you to take a
dive! I am one o those people who only dives on
vacation, and I never thought o doing it here. I have
to thank ChrisDoyal again or allowing us to share
his marvelous photography and helping make us
look so good.
As always, this issue introduces you to local
people you may not know. Open these pages
and experience their talents! The best part about
creating this magazine is we get to meet these
unique and interesting people who also happen to
be our neighbors, right along with you. People like
JimDeWildt, who is our eatured artist. He has
been creating amazing art on a commercial and
artistic level or more than 30 years. Then we have
the expert gardeners o the Friendly Garden Club
brightening our world here in Traverse City. Who
knew they have been doing this since 1923! We were
just going to do a little blurb to remind our readersto take in the stupendous views o nature on the
30th Annual Garden Walk. But then we did just a
little more so these admirable ladies can get the
recognition they deserve.
Lelands historic Fishtown was our destination or
the home we were welcomed into, shot beautiully
by MikeDrilling o Windborne. (Hes probably
photographed most o your kids; i he hasnt, he
should because he is tremendous!) This home
is a classic postcard that epitomizes Northern
Michigan living, and its inhabited by true natives
MikeandBethGrosvenor. (That is a big deal!)
Speaking o Up North living, our Date Night nally
got to make an acquaintance with TheBoathouse.
You really havent lived i you havent been
exposed to a dining experience here with your
sweetie. There are bits and bobs in-between, and
well keep those or you to unveil and enjoy at your
leisure. The cherry on top is kept or the cherry lady
hersel, JulieMillen, owner o Benjamin Twiggs.
Her story will impress you, as she overcame some
personal challenges to Keep Calm and Cherry On.
So stick this copy in your beach bag or later. Or i
you peruse through it now, STOP, pour yoursel a
cold drink (maybe the Classic Mojito we have the
recipe or on page 18?), put your eet up and take
time out or yoursel
Cheers to living the BAY LIFE!

The nice part o living in a SMALL TOWN is thatwhen I dont know what Im doing, someone else does.
Forget Me NotScott Edson is Going Big - and Not Going Home. Its his quest to end
Alzheimers, riding his bike rom the Motor City to Traverse City starting
Sept 13th. All in honor o his dad Bill, who suers rom the devastating and
heartbreaking disease. Worst o is my Mom, not only did she lose her best
riend, but she has to care or him too. September is national Alzheimers
month, Scotts goal is to raise $20,000, and he will bike the entire trip solo.
I want to do this alone and just do it or my dad. Well, kind o alone, his
big brother Chris Edson (owner o Edson Farms that dad Bill ounded in
1979) will be chasing along in the Ocial Motorhome. Scott, who also will
be doing triathlons to honor his dad too,(Wow!) grew up here and now lives
downstate with his wie Tracy and two little girls Eva (5) and Chloe (3). Once
he gets here (tired, hot, achy and cranky! Just kidding) Jim Smolak, his
good riend who co-owns 7 monks, will be supporting Scott by letting him
guest bartend or the charity too. I think the bar will be holding him up atthat point! Get involved and help give any way you can, they have created
a Facebook page and even i you just drink beer and give him a tip, you will
have helped make this agonizing disease a real and true distant memory.

With the kids out o school, Moms take on even more work in the summer. Dr. Oz has
shown us the dangerous impact that stress can have on our bodies. We are there 24/7 or
our amily, and sometimes (OK, a LOT) its a thankless job. Here are six ways to calm down
beore, during or ater one o those days!
1Breathe.Deep breathing orces
air into the top and bottom o
your lungs, making you eel calm and
energized. Take just a minute or yoursel
to regroup and get a grip!
2Mantra.Repeat ater me: There isnothing as important as my health.I can be one minute late. I can do this
later. I dont need to be perect. Use this
and youll be amazed at the results.
3Realize. You need to take care oYOU in order to be there to takecare o your FAMILY.
4Focus. Pay attention to what youredoing in each moment ONLY. Stopthinking about the next moment. This
WILL make you slow down.
5Rest. Go to bed 30 minutes earlier
and get up 30 minutes earlier. Try
it. Use the extra 30 minutes you gain in
the morning to prep or the day ahead.
When women eel like theyre prepared
and organized or the day, they are
unstoppable!
6TakeaHotBath.Daily Stressesactually deplete our bodies o thenutrients we need to battle the stress.
To replenish, orgo 30 minutes o TV
time ater the kids go to bed and take
a hot salt bath. Stress drains the body
o magnesium and increases levels oadrenaline. The magnesium [in salt] helps
to produce serotonin, a mood-elevating
chemical within the brain that creates a
eeling o calm and relaxation.
You only live once ~ but, i you do it RIGHT, once is enough
MAE WEST
Minty FreshSummer is all about get-togethers, so have one
signature drink youre great at preparing! This will
make you the perect host. A abulous choice thats
light and breezy is the Classic Mojito!
In the bottom o a glass, muddle 12 resh mint
leaves, the juice o lime, and 1 tablespoon simple
syrup. Add a ew ice cubes and pour in 1 ounces
(one shot) o light rum and cup seltzer. Garnish
with a lime wedge. Enjoy!

wanted notice or a manager at The Boathouse. Timing is
everything, as they say. The current owner was in his 60s
and acing a health challenge. The Boathouse was also a
very casual place at that time.
In 2004, Doug took over, and in 2007, Che Eric donned
his apron in the kitchen. We are a great team, Doug
says. Eric is a like a reight train, and I reel him back in.
We balance each other out. Unlike most ches who you
have to drag out o the kitchen, Che Eric is comortable
meandering rom table to table, conversing with guests
and delighting in their joy o his creations. Originally rom
the East Coast and the devoted ather o seven children(yes, seven; that wasnt a typo), he went to Culinary School
and was originally hired as a sous che. Che Eric is the
passion and driving orce behind the world-class ood that
artistically graces every plate.
Erics object o desire became the very rich Kobe bee. At
$80 a pound, its the caviar o bee. Eric set out to impress
and bring Doug over to the Kobe Side. One morning across
the ax came an invoiced order or 100 pounds o it! Holy
Cow! (Im sure Dougs response may have been more

did he sell it, but he expertly molded the cut and favors to
be exceptional. It is simply delicious, and The Boathouses
signature dish. The most perect piece o meat I have ever
eaten, rave some guests.
Other rare events that are exclusive to The Boathouse
are a yearly WildGameDinner that occurs the rst week
in February. Its a Wild treat, with fights o ancy suchas Lion on the menu! In November you can dine with
Sinatraabulous live music and abulous ood. And in
December, the big guy himsel makes an appearance at
The Boathouse! AtBrunchwithSantaClaus, reindeer take
over the parking lot and every childs name and age are
recorded beorehand, reserving a special git just or them.
Who knew The Boathouse was much more than just a date
night place?
The Boathouse could just as easily be named the Green
House. Farm to table ood enhances every meal. Most
veggies and ruit are locally grown and include Dougs
very own backyard varieties. (He has 800 apple trees anda strawberry patch.) Doug and Erin even raise chickens,
ducks and turkeys, although this is probably not your rst
thought when the arm-raised owl arrives on your plate!
But at least you know they were raised right and ed well!
Everything is made here, even the desserts and the bread.
Plus, every meal is made to order. The menu changes in
summer and winter, so its always a new journey in ood. O
course, being by the water, sh and seaood are the stars
and Dover Sole is their other amed Signature plate.
The wine list lovingly represents local, too, with every
winery on Old Mission Peninsula represented and one
whole page dedicated just to Michigan wines. Champagneis an absolute avorite in the summer, says Mike, the
wine guy and manager who has been with Doug or eight
summers.
The rest o the sta is just as loyal. Most return every
summer, and a lot o his exceptional sta are teachers.
They all welcome you in and tend to your every need.
Doug believes that what distinguishes his restaurant and a
diners experience is the culture. I live a mile up the road,
my kids live here and we all love being here. Its the right
t. That sense o home, belonging and pride shine through
in the glowing white o the cottage wainscot dcor. (Doug
paints it every winter.) Entering the restaurant is almostlike stepping into the pages oCoastal Living Magazine;
its romantic and elegant ambiance is a breath o resh air.
The cherry on top? That view o course o the crystal bay
as a sailboat breezes by lling you with a eeling o pure
serenity. Order a perect sunset along with your meal and
youre alling in love all over again. Justwhatadatenight

Remember the 1700s tale The Legend of Benjamin Twiggs in which great
tragedy strikes leaving Benjamin at sea and hanging onto a crate of cherry pits
for dear life? Benjamin was forever thankful to cherries and The Land of the
Sweetwater Seas in Traverse City for his good fortune and success.
Keep Calm and Cherry On
Benjamins tale mirrors the lie in his successor,
owner o Benjamin Twiggs Julie Millen.
Originally rom Pittsburgh, Julie moved toTraverse City in 1992 when her then-husband was
positioned here with Pepsi. She was a Computer
Engineer and a mom with three kids ages ve,
our and two. As Julie says I was here or a day,
and it elt like home! She loved the Northern
Michigan liestyle so much she convinced her
husband to stay, and she became a ull-time
mom. She became involved in every aspect o
her childrens lives and her lie was complete! In
2004 lie, as it does, threw her a ew curveballs.
Julie became a single mom ater her divorce.
Her husband didnt like Traverse City! So as we
English would say, Cheerio. (Not the cereal; inthe U.K., this means Goodbye). Lets make that
Cherry O! Just or Julie! A little cherry humor
This change in plan, she could handle. She loved
being a part o her kids lives, and she decided
that wouldnt change. So she tried her hand at
a ew part-time jobs, looking or her niche. The
next curveball was Breast Cancer. This one, o
course, is devastating, but Julie took it all in
stride. Surrounded by amily, riends and her

kids who were by then 14, 16 and 17, she
had chemotherapy and lost all o her hair.
Today, she recounts some unny stories rom
her kids with a smile! My youngest son
couldnt believe it when I started to get little
prickles o hair growing back! He thought
I was always going to be bald like when a
man loses his hair! Ater that battle, Julie
really objects to the saying some adopt to try
to make you eel better. Dont ever tell me
what doesnt kill you makes you stronger. I
would probably punch you.
O course, she isnt really a violent person.
But she denitely was ready or a un
chapter in her lie. She ound it hanging out
with cherries. She was already working part-
time at Benjamin Twiggs (still trying to nd
that niche!) and the owner was struggling
but also araid to change anything. The
owner oered to sell Julie the business, and
she jumped on it! The brand has been the
original purveyor o Cherries since 1966, and
Benjamin Twiggs was the only place people
came as a kid or their Up North Cherry
Memories. Now older generations are
passing those ond moments to their kids
and grandkids.
Julie knew that the products were abulous
and well loved, and that her customers were
loyal and die-hard cherry lovers. What the
business needed was some updatinglets
call it Out o the Cherry Crate thinking!
Julie had a ew tricks up her sleeve.
The rst trick was to hire an amazing sta.Hire people who share your passion, says
Julie. All o the time, people tell her, I want
to work here. It looks un! Her sta is so
great that customers constantly ask i they
are the owner. Julie thinks this is the highest
o compliments.
Julie bought the business in August o 2008,
right as the country entered the recession.
But the blessing was at that very same
time, the Local movement started and
the community proudly embraced small
business.
A small upgrade to the logo was done,
and Benjamin Twiggs continues to ship
worldwide. Julies biggest joy is serving
one-on-one with customers and personally
delighting over all the Cherrylicious Wares
in the store. (She just moved to a bigger
location a ew doors over.) Speaking o the
new location, the day ater Julie signed
the lease was the day they announced that
more than 90 percent o the local cherries
were destroyed! However, due to her strong
network o loyal arms and suppliers, she
is assured to meet all her cherry needs
this year! Her kids, you ask? They are all
grown and doing great. She is even a proud
grandma! Keep Calm and Cherry On, Julie!

ALISA KROUPA is our very own, modern-dayAriel, the Little Mermaid. The only dierence is (OK, maybe
there are a ew other dierences), Ariel gave up her voice to
make the prince all in love with her, but Alisa uses her valuable
git o voice to make you all in love with the Bay. As she wears
her President o the Grand Traverse Bay Underwater Preserve
crown with pride, she will beg to ask you the question: What
does the Bay mean to you?
Whether its long days on the Bay, dips in the Bay, hanging by
the Bay or just the serenity o and calming eect o the Bay,
everything we do is centered around this beautiul cerulean
gem. The Bay is our Backyard, and thats where Alisas passion
comes in. Shes determined to Preserve, Promote and Protect the
Beautiul Grand Traverse Bay.
Alisa has been around water her whole lie. Originally rom a
little town in Florida named Indian Shores, she is a natural beach
girl. As the only child o older parents, she travelled extensively
and experienced bodies o water all over the world. Eventually,
she went to school and called Traverse City home. Her Prince
Charming is o the Kroupa Cherry Farmer amily, and togethershe and Chris have our abulous kids. In-between owning a small
business and raising our kids, Alisa somehow nds the time to
be a commissioner or Parks and Recreation! Supermom and a
Public Servant, this lady is ber-talented and, most importantly, a
natural history geek.
Alisa also has an Ancient History degree, which eeds her need
or the allure o the deep as she dives headrst into the water
and discovers the hidden mysteries that lay beneath. Alisa nds
much better treasures than Mermaid Ariels orks and denitely
is a part o their world. (Youll only get that i youre a mom

and have had to watch The Little Mermaid at least
50 times!) She was elected President o the Grand
Traverse Bay Underwater Preserve (GTBUP) in March
and is the rst woman to hold the title. She has a
list o hundreds o things she wants to accomplish.
(Type A personality? Check!) At the top o that list is
increasing awareness, making GTBUP a household
name and raising lots o money to help GTBUP
fourish and grow.
While having coee with Alisa, I learned a lot more
than just underwater stu! I learned about the Chert
Mines in Norwood, where Indians ound material
or their arrowheads, and evidence discovered there
o the glacial age and bedrock that reaches all the
way to Wisconsin, a link that is 10,000 years in the
making. That the Grand Traverse Bay was really a
large valley and the entire area was dry. That she
believes the Vikings were here. That Power Island is
called Marion Island by locals (I knew that, but you
may not!), and she shared stories o Bassett Island and
Dick Bassett, its namesake. And that somewhere (BIG
SECRET, SSSHHH) they are nding an underwater
Stonehenge! Wow! There will be more in-depth
stories to come or sure.
For now, back to the subject at hand. Did you know
that the Bay holds sunken ships and protected
artiacts? Who Knew? Me neither, until I started to do
some research! The Grand Traverse Bay UnderwaterPreserve was ormed in 2008 and is the 12th trail to be
a part o Michigan Underwater Preserves. It is a non-
prot organization made up o volunteers. Its mission
statement is To sustain an Underwater Preserve by
enhancing education, research, and preservation o
our Great Lakes and maritime heritage, and by the
promotion o tourism and public recreation.
Our Grand Traverse Bay actually has 20 dive sites
that are all mapped out by the GTBUP or you to
experience. The Pure Michigan campaign has also
adopted the statewide dive trail, which will open the
foodgates or tourism, a blessing and a curse in thisplace we all call home. But whenever tourism can
bring an infux o money and awareness to our area,
we denitely all benet.
So, what are you waiting or? Grab your fippers and
snorkel and experience the shallow treasures. Make
a date to go diving as a hobby at home as opposed
to something you only do in the islands on vacation.
(We are blessed to have the same clear water.) Just
remember the Underwater Cardinal Rule: Only look,
dont touch ( just like you would tell your kids)! Have
un on your Underwater Adventure, and wave to Alisa
our Grand Traverse Mermaid!

Babiesand SunWhy do sunscreens say
ask a doctor or babies si
months and younger? Thereason is a babys skin is
much thinner and absorbs
sunscreen more easily. A
babys surace area to body
weight ratio is much higher than a childs or an adults, so a babys
exposure to sunscreen is much greater. Best thing to do? For babies
less than 6 months old, use other means o sun protectionclothing o
sun shadesand only apply a small amount o sunscreen when neede
or a short period o time. Once inside and out o the sun, wash it o so
its no longer penetrating.

Toddler Beach BagWeve compiled a TODDLER MOM CHECKLIST or a un day at the beach, and a quicker
out-the-door experience. Lie is complicated enough; going to the beach shouldnt be!
(I you are bringing your cell phone, make sure your bag has a zipper pocket or just drop it
in a Ziploc bag).
DRINKS: The sun is brutal and very
dehydrating, so fuids are a must (or both o
you). Hal-pint water bottles with sport caps
help keep out sand, and juice boxes are great
too. Put them inside a mini-cooler; one that
you can t in your Beach Bag is ideal.
SUNBLOCK: I you can apply sunblock at
home beore you leave, this is the best option.
But remember to stow it in your bag so that
you can reapply. The new regulations have
really helped, and there is even a NO Tears
option. Use SPF 50, at least or Toddlers, and
reapply every 80 minutes. Dont orget to put
sunblock on yoursel, too!
SWIM DIAPERS/WIPES: Disposables are
the way to go, but bring extrasthey dont
do well with accidents! Or use the swimsuits
with cloth diapers built in. These work really
well. Remember your wipes, o course, or
everything messy.
BEACH APPAREL: Sun hats (you, too)
and T-shirts are highly recommended by
pediatricians, as they will block the suns
rays. Use sunglasses i your little one will
wear them.
PLASTIC BAGGIES: Bring pint-, quart- and
gallon-sized reusable bags to store snacks,
clean diapers and anything else you dont
want becoming sandy or wet! (Use these to
dispose o soiled diapers, too.)
BABY POWDER: Use this to help relieve
sweaty body parts, and shake some on your
hands beore eating to get rid o sand.
SNACKS: Everyone works up an appetite at
the Beach. Bring easy-to-eat items such as
cereal bars, pretzels or crackers. (This way,
you dont need to schlep a cooler.)
SAND TOYS: Keep it to a minimum. You wil
have to carry them back and orth. The basics
are a shovel, pail and watering can. Toddlers
always want someone elses toys no matter
how many you bring, so get creative with
shells, rocks, moats, sticks and mountains o
sandcastles.
TOWELS: This ones a given, but make sure
you have one or every member o the amily.
CASH: Bring a ew bucks or an ice cream or
cold drink.
MOM MAGAZINE: Dont even think about
reading a real book with a toddler, but you
may get a minute to fip through a mag!
POSSIBLE EXTRAS:CHAIRS
: Bring or rent.UMBRELLA:
Bringor rent. A WAGON: Kids can tote their own
toys, and it can double as a makeshit eating
area. CAMERA: Cell phones are great, but
consider a good old ashioned disposable
one, to avoid sand and water accidents.

WHY Summer Camps?BY JOHN GESSNER, GRAND TRAVERSE CONSERVATION DISTRICT
For kids, summer is synonymous with vacationa time to
decompress rom a years worth o school with no worries, no
commitments, and denitely no learning! While theres nothing
wrong with some good ol ashioned relaxing, its how kids relax
and where kids relax these days thats a concern. All around the
country, children today spend less than hal as much time outdoor
than they did just 20 years ago, as they become increasingly
plugged in to electronic media. In his 2005 book, Last Child
in the Woods, Richard Louv immortalized this diminishing
interaction with nature as nature-decit disorder and cited direct
links to childhood obesity, diabetes, attention-decit disorders
and a dwindling sense o environmental stewardship. Nature
Day Camp was created in 2008 in direct response to this growing
concern in the Grand Traverse Region.
So i any o these ideas resonate in your household, or i youre
simply looking or something un, sae and educational or your
child to do this summer, then sign them up or Nature Day Camp
and help them create memories that will last a lietime!
The Grand Traverse Conservation District oers several camp
opportunities throughout the summer. Programs are designed
or kids ages 4 to 14 to experience the natural world in a un,
educational setting at the Boardman River Nature Center and
Natural Education Reserve (a 500-acre natural area).
To learn more about these opportunities and to register,
visit natureiscalling.orgor call 231-941-0960.
Once Upon a Time
They Lived Happily Ever After
Local libraries in all the towns we cover have a great
Summer Reading Program: DREAM BIG or kids and
OWN THE NIGHT or teens. Its still not too late to jump in
and sign them up. And as a parent, you can still have a little
Summer Reading Program at home. Just tie a ew books to
some un things and watch their imaginations soar! Books can
take a kid anywhere, and the joy o reading instilled in a young
child will stay with him or her orever. Look at the phenomenon
that young adult books have caused lately as theyve beenbrought to lie on the big screenHarry Potter, Twilight, The
Hunger Games, etc. Its such a git, the way that these movies
have increased awareness o books and reading. Still, we live in
a digital world. Encourage your kids to switch o, get turned on
to reading and stick their heads in a great book!

Open Hearts.As an historic landmark in downtown Traverse City for more
than 100 years, Central United Methodist Church stands
proudly on Cass Street overlooking the beautiful Boardman
River. This church, with just over 1000 members has evolved
from a simple wooden structure built on donated land from
Hannah, Lay and Company, to a vibrant congregation rich with
tradition and alive with faith.
The earliest members of the Methodist Church were known forthe energy and innovation with which they invited people to
Christ and welcomed them to their circle. Today at Central, this
tradition continues as they invite everyone to discover an open
and hospitable community of Christian believers who respects
diverse perspectives and resolves to love one another as they
unite in their Christian mission.
Open Minds.The Mission of the United Methodist church calls its members
to Make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the
world. It is this very mission that has driven the people of
Central Church to rethink, reexamine and remold how they live
as a church community.
Some members of Central Church have found a meaningful role
with the Reconciling Ministries Team, which openly welcomes
members of the gay and lesbian community to find their faith atCentral. Still others have found their ministry in serivng
with the Community Garden Team to work the soil and help
provide fresh produce to the Food Rescue program in the
Traverse City area. And, Centrals Community Outreach team
has embraced the growing population of homeless and
individuals in need by providing daily meals, showers, phone
and mail service for our struggling community members.
What if Church Were
More Than a Building?

By truly opening its doors to the Traverse City community,
Central Church has become a valuable partner in supporting
people from all walks along their life journeys.
Open Doors.Many of us in Traverse City have chosen this place for its vast
natural beauty and rich heritage, and are proud to call this
community home. As a gift to residents and visitors alike,
and in celebration of all of Gods blessings, Central Church
offers a unique outdoor worship opportunity each Sundayduring the summer months.
Church in the Park is a casual worship experience held on
the shores overlooking beautiful West Grand Traverse Bay at
Sunset Park in downtown Traverse City. Filled with music
from a variety of local talents, traditional scripture and hymn
singing, and thought-provoking messages, this experience is
definitely one to add to your Traverse City to do list.
Everyone is welcome, bring a blanket or a lawn chair,
relax and enjoy the piece of Gods creation that we call home.
Central United Methodist Church is a true gem in our
historic community, so we hope you take a moment the next
time youre in downtown Traverse City to admire the stained
glass windows, enjoy a quiet moment in the prayer garden,
worship with us at Church in the Park, or maybe even walk
through the doors in search of your home under the Centra
Church dome.

An Itching for ART
Jim with his WALLOFART in
his Suttons Bay Studio
ABOVERIGHT:
Old Mission Lighthouse print.
BELOW: The Salty Dog Sailor
YOU HAVE THREE CHOICES IN LIFE: Give up, Give in or Give it all youve got! I Jim DeWildt
had listened to his high school teacher who said, Youre not going to cut it as an artist kid. Have a
plan B. He would be in the Give up category. But ollowing his heart, he chose the path o Give
it all youve got. Hes still doing that 40 years later. The man quite rankly is Unairly Artistically
Gited! (Just kidding. We adore him.) He is able to masterully work in oil, watercolor, acrylic, ink
and pencil. Most artists are gited in just one area!
His artul journey began when he attended Kendal College o Art and Design and graduated in
1971. I there hadnt been a U.S. Army drat, Jim would probably still be working or Hallmark
as a book illustrator, the job he scored right out o college. As it happened, he ended up at the
Pentagon or his two-year army stint, working as an illustrator alongside Ivy League graduates
rom Yale and Harvard. When his time in the army was done, he travelled out West to Portland,
Oregon, or a while and nally moved to Northern Michigan in 1974 to begin his dream o having
a gallery.
However, starving artists with a whimsical dream dont become Andy Warhol or Monet overnight;
ame and notoriety take a while to build. I you want to pay the bills, you go commercial with
your talent, which is just what Jim did. He etched out or himsel a brilliant career (think Don
Draper in Mad Men well, kind o!) working with ad agencies and public relations rms to oer
illustration, design, branding and campaigns to the Fortune 500 companies o corporate America.
Putting advertising success aside or a while, Jim took the opportunity to become a teacher at
Northwestern Michigan College (NMC). He thought, Wouldnt that be great, and appreciated the

rare time to work as a practicing artist. He
loved that there is a method to teaching,
and taught or six years! One o his students
is local rame shop owner Todd McMillen
who ondly remembers Jim in his blog:
His big round glasses, urry mustache
and haircut were typical o the 1980s and
reminded me o the lead singer rom Simple
Minds. That gives us quite the visual. Im
sure that i there were pictures, Todd would
rame them. (Couldnt help it! Sorry.)
Next, in Jims artul story comes branding
o a dierent sort, rom wine labels to
childrens books. His Hidden Cherries
book even became the ocial childrens
book o our National Cherry Festival! On
the Hidden Dinosaurs book, he worked
with a paleontologist or accuracy. Theres a
Hidden Pumpkins book, too!
All o these treasures can be ound in his
gallery in Suttons Bay, where you will see
the sign to turn let o the also very well-branded M-22! As you pull up, the rst thing
to catch your eye is the Salty Dog Sailor
(kinda looks like Jim). That, too, has a cool
history. When I inquire, Jim tells me he was
actually commissioned to do the painting in
1974 as a restaurant sign; the restaurant was
located where Pearls in Elk Rapids is now.
Last all, he ran into the restaurant owners
wie. She shared that her husband had
passed away and that she still had the sign
would he like it? This brings the story ull
circle. In 1974, when he was just dreaming
o having his own gallery, he created thispaintingnow it graces the door to welcome
you. It also shows how his work stands the
test o time!
Which leads us into today The beautiul
work that lines the walls o the gallery is
diverse, showing all his talents, but most
prevalent are his giclee prints. Giclee prints
are expected to last or 200 years, and
theyre the closest to an original that you
can get. Jims vintage-eeling, giclee posters
gorgeously portray the beloved places
in Northern Michigan, and they resemblewoodcut pieces o art. They easily t into the
dcor o any home, rom modern to classic,
shabby chic and everything in-between.
They inspire you to all in love with the
places all over again, like you did on your
rst visit. Jim creates them by using an
old Scratch technique that goes back to
beore old catalogs. Using a white clayboard
that he mounts onto oam core or some
density, he covers the whole board in black
India ink and scratches away, ree-orming
ink strokes, stroke upon stroke, that
magically morph into places that recallmemories or the art lover. The color
process is computerized, but even this
is hand-placed, built layer by layer in
Photoshop by Jim, who says
his personal preerence is the Black
and Whites.
Weve saved the best or last. Jim
lives behind the studio with his wie
Marnie, a gited watercolor painter.
Their our kids are all grown, but there
are grandchildren to spoil. The other
highlight o his gallery is a present tohimsel rom long ago, a 1987 Harley-
Davidson motorcycle that sits there
showing o. He didnt know where else
to put it, but strangely it works well,
making the gallery eclectic. Art has
been pretty good to Jim, and he to it.
He has denitely made his INK mark
in the world, and proved to that high
school teacher that he didnt need a
plan B ater all.

Pillow TalkHeres a nautical spin on the ordinary, and a great conversation piece right on your avorite chair, window box or couch.
With the ocus on Michigan and its surrounding bodies o water theyre a perect choice to spruce up your living space
with a resh twist. Robbi Lindeman a downstate Michigander owner oSALT LABS makes these unique vintage map
and nautical chart pillows. Robbi shares with us The inspiration or my map making, comes rom years o travelling as
a teenager and university student in the late 60s and early 70s. You can snag these great nds locally, at Pine Cone in
Cedarville and Rau Art & Design in Harbor Springs. P.S. They are green too using eco-riendly textiles and printing methods.
Relishing RugsIll know it when I see it . Thats what many people say when
they hunt or the perect area rug. Theyve seen antastic scenes
in shelter magazines and want to create that eeling in their home.
But, the rug in their mind may never have been created and they
look or years hoping to nd perection beore their urniture
wears out. I this is you, heres a RugBuyersCheckList!
Start with an open mind. Bring your optimal size (not all rugs
are available in all sizes). Bring abric/paint swatches and apicture o your room. Bring pictures o rugs youve seen
and like. This will help determine your taste traditional,
transitional or contemporary, and ocus your search.
Dene what colors youd like to eature, but be open to the
act that oten a rug designer will add a touch o a unique
color to pull the design together. Pamper yoursel with
time to explore. Dont sandwich yoursel into 20 minutes
between the kids soccer games! This is a riend youll
have or many years.
Its un to mix rugs up a bit! Dont be araid to let blue
dominate in one rug and red in another, as long as the
basic color schemes complement each other.
A room will be much more welcoming i
everything isnt too matchy-matchy. And, i youre
new to rugs, dont be araid to all in love with a more
sophisticated design. More intensity over time is
more pleasing!
It is just as disastrous to have the wrong accessories in your roomas it is to wear SPORT SHOES WITH AN EVENING DRESS.

Since 1917 The Grosvenor amily,
whose geneology traces to the
islands, has operated mail and
passenger boats between Leland and
the Manitous or many years, departing rom
Lelands historic Fishtown. The Manitou
Island Transit Company, which Mike and
Beth own takes people out to explore both
North and South Manitou Islands. These two
beautiul and rugged islands are about 15
miles o shore, and are part o the Sleeping
Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.
But, back to Leland and this gorgeous house,
the house was nished two years ago and
built by their son in law, who incidentally
lives across the street. Pulling in the
driveway you are greeted with a wonderul
inviting eeling.
An enormous door,
majestically greets
you, and as you
enter your attention
cant help but veer let. Adorning the wall
is an original painting o Mikes dad as
a young man, delivering the mail to the
island and its an important part o this
amilys history. Being at home with his
Northern Michigan heritage is apparent all
around, the house, sailboats and nautical
elements are spotlighted in little nooks
and crannies and the tone is light and airy.
In the main amily
room the awe
