Falconry: A hunting art that goes back some 4,000 years

By Kate BassettHarbor Light Newspaper

It was a typical November Sunday-- windy, grey, sleet spitting from the sky-- when Charlevoix resident Brook Barney pulled into the drive-way. A small gathering of folks made a semicircle around the back of his pickup, waiting to catch a glimpse of the big wooden traveling crate he had with him. Or more accurately, to lay eyes on the stunning Red Tail Hawk inside the crate.

Barney, who first discovered the art of falconry in 1990, has been car-ing for and rehabilitating birds for more than two decades now.

“In 1990, I moved to Salt Lake City. The family that I lived with for a month practiced falconry. So I had quite the education; I read every book I could get my hands on. I had an opportunity to go hunting with Steve Chindgren, one of the hand-ful of known falconers. That was it, I was hooked! Next step, I had to get licensed.”

Barney has worked with approxi-mately 16 birds over the years. He’s currently caring for Ayla, a large male red tail hawk. Perched on Barney’s glove, the bird looks like a majestic work of art, all the rich brown, red, orange, grey hues of hardwood forests layered in his feathers. Ayla cocks his head, fluffs himself up, eyes each one of his onlookers with eyes like endless pools of black night. The power of a Red Tail Hawk, of a bird of prey in general, is felt in the deep-est places of muscle and bone-- the primal understanding of the word “hunter.”

“They have such a commanding presence,” Barney noted of Red Tail Hawks. “Working with an immature Red Tail is like having a new puppy. They become tamed and trained very quickly. What I like about flying Red Tails in northern Michigan is that they are capable of taking a fairly wide range of game.”

A house on the corner of Lake and Hoyt Streets that is well-known (and loved) for its holiday decor-- be it Halloween, Fourth of July, or Christ-mas-- caught fire in Harbor Springs on Wednesday, November 13.

The Harbor Springs Area Fire Dept. was called to a possible struc-ture fire 10:48 p.m. Richard and Dee Lantz’s residence, 693 E. Lake St., and upon arrival, firefighters found heavy smoke and flames inside.

The Lantz’s and their children were already safe outside when the fire department reached the house.

According to Harbor Springs fire chief Dick Schiller, his department requested manpower assistance from the Readmond Friendship Cross Village Fire Department, due to the size and age of the structure. The Harbor Springs electric depart-ment was called to shut off the power to the residence.

“Firefighters gained entry into the main floor and quickly knocked down the fire in the living room. Another team made entry into the basement and found heavy fire and smoke and went to work to extin-guish the fire there. A third team using ladders gained entry into the second floor and found that the fire had extended into a front bedroom with heavy smoke throughout,” Schiller said.

He noted all three teams worked simultaneously and were able to extinguish the majority of the fire.

“During this time, firefighters on the outside of the structure were

The replica 1774 Armed Sloop Wel-come is currently owned and main-tained by the Maritime Heritage Alliance in Traverse City. Emmet County has been in talks with the MHA to acquire the vessel, at a cost of $1, for use as a showpiece in a pos-sible new structure at the Headlands International Dark Sky Park.

The Welcome is a replica of the 1774 ship that was originally built in Mackinaw City at Michilimackinac by John Askin. At 55 feet in deck length and overall sparred length of 87 feet, the Welcome was built by the Mackinac Island State Park Com-mission at Fort Michilimackinac to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. For four decades it served as a win-dow to the past, making American history come alive for thousands of people who toured her decks.

In 1992, the MHA became custo-dian of the vessel, with the group’s craftsmen and women spending untold hours rebuilding major por-tions of the hull and other features.

The Welcome may be coming home to Emmet County

Thousands of U.S. servicemen and women will be on active duty in locations around the globe during this holiday season, which is quickly approaching. Emmet County Veter-ans Affairs Director Jim Alton and his “chief of staff” Rick Wiertalla are asking residents to remember these military personnel stationed and at war in foreign countries. “This county has a lot of men and women serving around the world,” said Alton.

The Veterans Affairs office helps coordinate care packages and gift items that can be sent to U.S. troops. Alton said troops particularly ap-preciate food items (nonperishable and nonalcoholic) such as dried fruits and beef jerky. Personal care products are also appropriate items to send. “Even sending cards to our troops to let them know they are cared about is important,” Alton added.

To coordinate a care package to Emmet County troops or other U.S. servicemen and women, contact the Veterans’ Affairs office at (231) 348-1780 or email [email protected]. The office is also asking residents to provide the names/ad-dresses of their loved ones so they may receive a care package.

Remember active duty service men, women during coming holidays, VA urges

Brook Barney has been an avid falconer for more than two decades. His current hunting partner, Ayla, is a Red Tail Hawk who will eventually be returned to the wild.

www.harborlightnews.com Week of November 20-26, 20132 Harbor Light Community Newsweekly

Ladies Night in down-town Harbor Springs is always a treat. It’s

an evening spent catch-ing up with friends and acquaintances, bouncing between stores, clinking

glasses and just enjoying the act of strolling through town. This year, I went with a friend who just moved to town. I loved hearing her reactions and running commentary-- it was such a perfect reminder to be grateful for all the wonder and quirk of being part of a real community.

While Ladies Night only comes once a year (on November 15, opening day of deer hunt-ing’s rifle season), that feeling of belonging to a place, to a collection of people, has stayed with me this week. I’m so glad 30 stores opened their doors, welcomed folks with re-freshments, treats, and specials. It allowed a huge gathering of women--and a handful of non-hunting guys, too-- to come together and see exactly what our downtown has to offer.

Because the truth is, we have a whole lot of great stuff happening here: great stores with affordable gifts, great people who come to work each day ready to make shopping in person a whole lot more fun than clicking tabs online, and a great atmosphere that only exists when a Main Street (and beyond) is still full of independent, locally owned businesses.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this. How hard many of our local shopkeepers work to have their doors remain open, their employees in a job. And I think it’s worth saying-- Ladies Night is a perfect example of a town banding together to create fun traditions that support business, but in order for traditions like this to continue to flourish, we need these stores to stay downtown.

Which means we need to support them, more than one or two times a year. It can be as simple as buying socks (you can do that at Kelbels) or a little hostess gift (Spice Harbor is filled with inexpensive options). It can be walking into Between the Covers instead of staring at the Amazon screen, or treating yourself to a Tom’s Mom’s Cookie, just because.

We want to continue growing traditions like Ladies Night, continue finding ways to bring together our community, continue strength-ening our connection to our place and each other. As we stretch toward the holiday season, let’s remember our role in that equation-- and make a commitment to shop local whenever we can.

Next week, we’ll have our annual special section, Think Local, in this newspaper. While looking through it, celebrate the folks who are living and working in this community, making it the place we all love to call home, no matter what the season.

In spirited partnership,Kate Bassett

North Central Michigan College was recently chosen to join the Plus 50 Encore Completion Program, a national effort to train 10,000 baby boomers for new jobs in health care, education and social services. The program is sponsored by the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC).

The college will assist adults age 50 and over in completing degrees or certificates in high-demand occupations that give back to the community. With many adults age 50 and over out of work or seeking to transition to a new career, the program offers skill updates and career makeovers for baby boomers.

North Central Michigan College anticipates using the funds to develop an eldercare cer-tificate program by building upon two existing medical programs.

“We are delighted to be a part of this program,” said Dr. Cameron Brunet-Koch, president of North Central. “The Plus 50 ini-tiative will support growth industries in our community as well as completion goals for the college.”

Two other Michigan colleges join North Central. They are Delta College (University Center, Mich.) and Montcalm Community College (Sidney, Mich.).

Since 2008, AACC and its network of Plus 50 Initiative colleges have supported baby boomers coming to college and helped them prepare for new careers. It’s a program that works. Eighty-nine percent of students par-ticipating in AACC’s Plus 50 Initiative told an independent evaluator that college workforce training helped them acquire new job skills, and 72 percent attributed landing a job to such training.

“Baby boomers who are out of work or want to transition into new career fields need to update their skills. Community colleges are affordable and working to help baby boom-ers, even if they’ve never stepped on a college campus before,” said Mary Sue Vickers, direc-tor for the Plus 50 Initiative at AACC.

Vickers added that many of the plus 50 adults who participate in the program also find great meaning and purpose in their work after they get hired. “Jobs in health care, education and social services give baby boomers a way

to give back to society, so plus 50 adults find these careers to be particularly rewarding,” said Vickers.

In addition to providing grant funds that augment college workforce training programs, participating colleges gain access to toolkits and extensive marketing resources tailored to reach baby boomers. They also benefit from the advice and support of staff at other community colleges that have successfully implemented programs for older learners and understand the unique needs of the plus 50 student population.

The Plus 50 Encore Completion Program is funded with a $3.2-million grant to AACC provided by Deerbrook Charitable Trust. The Plus 50 Encore Completion program sup-ports AACC’s work to increase the number of students who finish degrees, certificates and other credentials. In April 2010, AACC committed alongside other higher education organizations to promote the development and implementation of policies, practices and institutional cultures that will produce 50 percent more students with high quality degrees and certificates by 2020.

North Central Michigan College is an open-door community college based in Petoskey. Through its University Center partnerships, students can take courses leading to certifi-cates, bachelor’s and master’s degrees from participating universities. North Central’s Corporate and Community Education offers workforce training, professional development seminars, and personal interest workshops. In addition to its main campus in Petoskey, North Central offers classes, academic advis-ing, testing and other services in Cheboygan and Gaylord. North Central is an Achieving the Dream Leader College and a Military-Friendly School.

Headquartered in Washington, D.C., the American Association of Community Col-leges is the leading advocacy organization representing more than to 1,100 community, junior and technical colleges nationwide. Community colleges are the largest and fastest growing sector of higher education, enrolling 13.4 million credit and non-credit students each year. Learn more at www.aacc.nche.edu.

North Central Michigan College’s Luncheon Lecture will look at public health prepared-ness on Friday, November 22 in the Library conference room on the Petoskey campus. The luncheon begins at 11:30 a.m. with the lecture starting at noon.

The Alanson Village Council has adopted a tobacco-free policy for its four parks. Ac-cording to Council clerk Iris Lesh, the new policy sup-ports the Council’s belief that tobacco use in park areas is detrimental to the health of everyone using the park system.

“Our goal is to demonstrate to youth that tobacco use is not a part of a healthy life-style,” Lesh said. “We believe that this policy can play a part in reducing youth tobacco use in our community, which will eventually save lives.” She

added that parents, officials and other community lead-ers can serve as positive role models for youth by choosing to live tobacco-free.

Susan Pulaski, Community Health Coordinator for the Health Department of North-west Michigan, said she is thrilled to see Alanson joining the ranks of communities and park systems that are formal-izing their commitment to healthy, tobacco-free living for residents.

“By adopting this policy, Alanson is affirming that to-bacco use and secondhand

smoke don’t belong in park areas, where people go to improve their fitness and en-joy nature,” Pulaski said. She noted that Alanson’s policy will reinforce the recently-adopted 24/7 tobacco-free school policies, and con-tribute to a tobacco-free environment throughout the community.

Pulaski added that the Health Department is looking forward to helping other com-munities and organizations institute tobacco-free policies throughout Antrim, Char-levoix, Emmet and Otsego

Counties. For more informa-tion about tobacco-free parks and beaches, contact Pulaski at (231) 347-5813.

The Health Department of Northwest Michigan is man-dated by the Michigan Public Health Code to promote well-ness, prevent disease, provide quality healthcare, address health problems of vulnerable populations, and protect the environment for the residents and visitors of Antrim, Char-levoix, Emmet, and Otsego counties. For more informa-tion, visit www.nwhealth.org or call (800) 432-4121.

busy setting up fans to eject the smoke from the building to give the interior firefighters fresher air and better visibility. They also assisted with hose movements and changing the air bottles for those firefight-ers using them.”

Schiller reported the fire in the basement took the longest time to extinguish, as there was a wood pile for the wood furnace that had ignited.

Firefighters remained on scene until around 1:00 a.m.

“They made sure there were no more hotspots, using the thermal imaging camera and doing thorough searches. The firefighters returned to the stations to clean and put away the equipment to be com-pletely in service,” he said.

Thursday morning, several firefighters returned to the residence to talk with the resi-dents and to walk through the fire scene in daylight hours to try and determine the cause of the blaze. The homeowners had already contacted their insurance agents, Schiller said, and were told an adjuster would meet with them later that day and an insurance company investigator would be in contact with them.

“The family owns a garage apartment on the same lot as the burned residence so they have a place to stay,” he added.

On Friday the insurance company investigator and Chief Schiller met at the resi-dence and after several hours the investigator determined that the fire was accidental and released his findings to the insurance company.

Several local agencies such as Holy Childhood Church Resale, American Red Cross, and Harbor Springs Public Schools have been assisting the family.

Over the last several years, the MHA has sought a new permanent home for the Welcome that would illustrate its maritime significance, protect its story and preserve her for the public.

Emmet County learned of MHA’s efforts to find the Welcome a new home, and contacted the group express-ing its interest in displaying the ship in an indoor envi-ronment and for educational opportunities. Earlier this week, the MHA board passed a resolution in support of the County’s preliminary propos-al to house the ship inside a potential new museum/heri-tage center at the Headlands, which has been discussed by the Board of Commissioners for some time.

“The Board of Directors and the Welcome Committee determined that the request to acquire Welcome received from the Emmet County Board of Commissioners dated Oct. 30, 2013, express-ing a desire to repurpose the welcome as the primary showpiece of a proposed Her-itage Center at the Headlands best embraced the vision of MHA for Welcome’s future,” the MHA board agreed in a resolution on Nov. 11, 2013.

The County Board of Com-missioners will now work with county staff to draft a memo-randum of understanding that would spell out the re-quirements of each entity for acquiring the Welcome.

-CONTINUED from page 1.


Welcome may be coming to Emmet County

Fire...“The ultimate goal would

be to have this ship on display at the Headlands. It’s a terrific opportunity for this whole region,” said Emmet County Board Chairman Jim Tamlyn.

Assisting in the potential acquisition have been mem-bers of the Emmet County Historical Commission, in particular Dick Moehl and Sandy Planisek. Parks and Recreation Director Laurie Gaetano noted this project falls in line with the mission of the Historical Commission and its efforts to preserve and protect this region’s history and historical assets.

“There are a lot of forward-thinkers in this county and I’m continually amazed by the Emmet County Histori-cal Commission and their ideas and enthusiasm,” said Commissioner Larry Cassidy at the Nov. 12 Administrative session of the BOC.

If the Board approves mov-ing forward with the Memo-randum of Understanding, the ship could come home to Emmet County by summer of 2014. It’s also possible that the Board and the historical com-mission could seek donations and grants to help fund the project and future placement of the ship.

Commissioner Dan Plasen-cia noted he sees the ship be-ing an attraction that brings more people into Emmet County, and also as a tool for teaching schoolchildren about the maritime history of Northwest Michigan. “This is an important learning opportunity for this area, to have something like this that belongs to the public,” Plasencia said. “It’s going to be a big attraction.”

As the MHA board noted, “Welcome would be returning to Emmet County, Michigan, her place of origin.”

The Kiwanis Club of Petoskey presents “ITALY: A Journey to Venice, Tuscany, Rome & the Amalfi Coast” with travel-ogue speaker Marlin Darrah as the next installment of the Travel and Adventure Series. The program will be held on Thursday, November 21at 7:00 p.m. at Petoskey High School Auditorium. Tickets are $8 at the door.

Italy is a country with a staggering wealth of history, culture and natural beauty. This filmmaker’s journey showcases the eternal city of Rome, the incomparable gondola-laden waterways of Venice, the Renaissance treasure that is Florence, and finally the Amalfi coast, which is arguably the most beautiful in the world - with its lustrous villages and lemon groves clinging to side of mountains cascading down to the Mediterranean. Some of the places in this explora-

tion include: Lucca, a little Tuscan town protected by massively thick 16th-century walls, featuring some of Italy’s finest medieval and Renaissance architecture; The Douma which inspired the colonnaded tiers of the original structure of the cam-panile, the Leaning Tower of Pisa; Arch of Constantine and the great Coliseum; The Spanish Steps, on Piazza di Spagna; the Pantheon; St. Pe-

ters Basilica; Piazza an Pietro; the Vatican Museum; and the island of Capri.

Marlin Darrah is the award-winning executive director and cinematographer of the renowned Portland, Oregon-based Production Company, International Film & Video. The Kiwanis Club of Petoskey has served the greater Petos-key area since 1922. Fund-raisers such as the Travel and Adventure Series are used to support community service projects, nonprofit organiza-tions and families. Season flex passes for the travelogue season are still available for your choice of 3 shows for $18.

Ronald M. Summers of Cross Village passed away unexpect-edly at his home in Cross Village on Sunday, November 10, 2013 at the age of 76.

Ron was born on May 10, 1937 in Detroit to Archibald and Margaret (Morrison) Summers. He was raised on Detroit’s East Side and enjoyed sharing stories of his sports-filled childhood. He attended Cass Technical High School and graduated in 1955. Ron went on to attend Michigan State University where he earned his degree in Engineering and met his future wife, June Dremann.

On August 8, 1964 Ron and June married. They had two children and lived first in Birmingham, Michigan and then in nearby Troy.

Ron worked as an Engineer with Ford Motor Company from 1966 until he retired in 1995. Ron and June then moved north to Cross Village where they have made their home for the last 17 years.

Ron’s family share many fond memories of a husband, fa-ther and grandfather who led his family with a quiet strength and a keen sense of humor. He enjoyed a number of pursuits throughout his life, chief among these were sailing and golf. Ron was an avid sailor. For many years Ron and his family enjoyed racing Lightnings at the Crescent Sail Yacht Club on Lake St. Clair. He was an ardent golfer throughout his life and enjoyed playing with many friends and family. He had a love for sports and supported his children and grandchildren in their many activities. In retirement his skills as an engineer and his artistic eye enabled him to create many works of art including bird carvings and paintings of sailboats. He also enjoyed woodworking and making furniture.

Surviving Ron is his wife of 49 years, June, and their two children, Tracey (William) Walton of Birmingham, MI and Douglas (Jacquelyn) of Palo Alto, CA as well as grandchildren Jack and Calum Walton and Ryan and Kathleen Summers. He is also survived by his brother, John Summers of Seattle, WA. Ron was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend. He will be missed but his family finds comfort knowing that he is in Heaven.

No public services are planned.Friends and family are also welcome to share memories or

Obituary

Just about anyone who was old enough to understand what was happening can tell you where they were that fateful Friday 50 years ago. This Friday marks the 50th anniversary of the death of John F. Kennedy and it left an indelible mark on those who lived through it.

I remember reading some-where that the true definition of a baby-boomer should not be defined by what year one was born, but rather by their ability to remember this day. I have to be honest, full disclo-sure, I remember that day viv-idly, but not because of John Kennedy. My oldest sister was having her first baby that day, the first nephew/grandson for us. I remember Mom picking all of us up at school where everyone was talking about Kennedy, but it sure wasn’t our top priority.

John Kennedy was elected in one of the closest elections of that century in the popular vote and while he is remem-bered very fondly, he was not universally loved at the time; he definitely evoked strong emotions, one way or another. I remember hearing the fear that the country would be run from the Vatican. I’m not an expert, but I think that may have been an unneces-sary concern. I have been overdosing on “Kennedy” television this month; there

has been almost constant programming and some of it is fascinating, especially revisiting history through the prism of time. I heard one man in Dallas interviewed prior to the assassination; he commented that although he didn’t like Kennedy, he was going to watch the motorcade because he liked Jackie. I’ve felt that way about a few of our presidents myself. I will say that, also with the benefit of hindsight, I have come to admire Jackie so much more over the years. She may have been a soft spoken woman, but she was intelligent and strong willed and her devo-tion to her children was ad-mirable.

The assassination itself was dreadful enough, but this was the first really memorable moment to be played out on television in such an immedi-ate fashion.

It didn’t end with Walter Cronkite, in his out of char-acter moment, emotionally making the announcement of Kennedy’s death. Za-

pruder became a household name; Life Magazine came out with the frame by frame spread of his film and that famous photo of Oswald at the moment when he was shot was everywhere. Now we have become desensitized to watching drama unfold practically before our eyes; then, it was a shocking experi-ence. I’ve heard it called the first step toward our loss of innocence as a country and I wouldn’t disagree with that assessment.

We watched the funeral procession on television. I was six, so my memories are those of a child and thus, I related most to the Kennedy children. I remember Black Jack, the riderless horse, in the procession and the image of John-John saluting as the cas-ket went by. I can see Caroline kneeling with her mother by the casket and I remember feeling so bad for both the children because their dad was killed right before their birthdays. Caroline and I are the same age and I couldn’t imagine what they were go-ing through. I also vividly remember the pink suit with the blood stains, probably because the image was every-where but also because even then, it was obvious she was making a statement.

I’m not a firm believer in the butterfly effect, but one does have to wonder how much the course of our history as a country was shaped in those few moments in Dealey Plaza. Going back and rereading his inauguration address, it is striking how far we have come from, “Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.” Would Bobby still have run and been taken? Would the atmosphere have changed during the civil rights movement sufficiently to lessen the tensions and possibly have saved Dr. King? Would we have had Nixon and Watergate and the next assault on our National in-nocence? We’ll never know and what ifs benefit no one, but it’s only human to ponder the lost possibilities.

One quick note regarding last week’s column on hunt-ing. I had mentioned thatif you bagged a deer that you didn’t need, you could have it processed at the Tannery Creek Market and they would donate it to the Manna Proj-ect. I got a call from David Meyer and he wanted me to let you know that the Sunrise Rotary Club in Petoskey also provides this service. You can take your deer to Jurek’s Meats, the Carp Lake Gen-eral Store, the Walloon Lake General Store or Kruger’s Fish Market in Mackinaw City and they will process it and get it to the Manna Project. Re-member that Manna can only accept deer from licensed processors. For more info on this project, you can call Da-vid at 347-7390, Andy Hayes at 582-6482 or Rod Niswander at 645-0145

Now we have some belated wishes to get out there. First, I hope that Wally Marszalec had a great day last Thursday and that Mary Ellen Hughes had wonderful birthday on Monday, November 18. More belated birthday wishes going out to Fallon Meyer from her grandparents; she also celebrated on the 18th and congratulations to Dick and Donna Seamon as they celebrated their anniversary this week.

This week, Happy Birthday wishes on Thursday to Char-lie Paige, Jr. and on Friday to Susan Horn Short, Ted Kel-bel and the aforementioned nephew, Rick Coors – Happy 50th, Rick. On Saturday, we send Happy Birthday greet-ings to that author extraor-dinaire, Alison DeCamp and on Sunday to Sue Lechowicz and to Tom Wilson from his wife and all his friends at the Village of Hillside. Monday, we send our best birthday wishes along to Tony Keller, Heidi Radle Foxworthy and Mark Clare, on Tuesday to Jeff Sanderson and on Wednes-day, November 27, to Kathy Vieau Coe, Kendall Stanley and Sue Richards. Finally, a very Happy Anniversary wish going to Ed and Judy Meyer on Thursday, the 21st.

It is not often that our area is under a Tornado Watch but that is what happened on Sunday af-ternoon as the predicted area of strong, sometimes violent storms raced across the midwest. Many areas, including ours, across the lower peninsula were hit with strong winds and very heavy rain. Power outages were wide-spread and are still being felt in the hardest hit areas in southern Michigan. We were spared the worst of the storms, but our thoughts are with those who suffered major damage. Things quieted down here by Tuesday morning. We have had periods of light snow but colder conditions have allowed the making of snow on the ski slopes.

Petoskey teacher given “Classroom Shower”DKG Society International is an organization that was formed May 11, 1929. The organization promotes pro-fessional and personal growth of women teachers of all types and all lines of work; mem-bership is 130,000 from 2,900 chapters in 14 countries.

The Delta Gamma Society International met in Petoskey last week with a full agenda. DKG-Petoskey chapter, Beta

Omega, has started an an-nual event to locate a new teacher in either the Harbor or Petoskey school district and give her a “classroom shower” Selected was first-year teacher Amy Speigl who teaches at Sheridan Elemen-tary School in Petoskey. She received colorful bean bag chairs, classroom supplies, books, and gift cards.

Second on the agenda was meeting our state president,

Liz Van Westernberg. As state president, Liz has set a personal goal to visit every chapter in Michigan. Chap-ter officers were delighted to have her visit, not only to meet Amy but to also share in the initiation of four new members: Diane Clark, Ginny Cole, Carrie Corbin and Kathy Hooper. For more informa-tion about the Society please call Sue Blevins, 347-9736.

Harbor Springs residents in and around the intersection of Arbor and Pine Street’s are welcoming a new family to the neighborhood. The fam-ily of about six, including the parents, moved into their home at 455 ½ Arbor Street sometime in late August and began socializing and meet-ing neighbors in September.

The four children can be seen daily, frolicking in the backyards in and around wood piles and up and down the big oak and maple trees in the neighborhood. However, it will soon be hard to spot them, due to winter setting in and the snow arriving. Even if they didn’t hibernate during the winter months, they would be hard to see, because they are pure white. They would blend in with the white snow.

At first glance, they look a little spooky, white fur coats, fluffy white tails and bright pink eyes. Upon taking a very close look, you will see the

very faint brown strips along their backs, which positively identify these creatures as chipmunks, albino chip-munks (i.e. Tamias Straitus Eutamias).

The children seem to be gaining weight, no surprise due to the abundance of fruit from the oak trees and they all scurry around as if they were in top physical shape.

If you are not satisfied with just seeing the photos of the darlings, and would like to see this phenomenon of nature in person, feel free to contact Fritz Simons at 231-590-5379 for more information and the best location and time to view his neighbors.

Students from the Blackbird Elementary School col-laborated with the Great Start Parent Coalition Leadership Council to host a book drive for the FreeCycle Book Bin project. With the help of the Blackbird Elementary stu-dents, more than 550 books were collected by the first and second grade classes during the two week-long book drive.

The goal of the FreeCycle Book Bin project is to collect and distribute gently used books to children across Charlevoix, Emmet and northern Antrim counties. There currently are 39 bins within these communities found at locations where families and young children visit. Each colorful bin holds more than 50 books that range from infant board books to advanced chapter books. All books have a sticker on the cover that reads, “This Book is FREE – Great Start FreeCycle.”

Parent Leadership Council members and Harbor Spring residents, Amy Lauer and Janey Thorpe, along with the help of Char-Em ISD Ameri-Corps Literacy Coach, Kelly Trierweiler, took an active role in initiating the book drive as well as helping students col-lect and organize the donated books. The Great Start Parent Leadership Council works with parents and the greater community to strengthen families and promote optimal development of all young children. Students were sent home with a FreeCycle bag

asking families to use the bag to donate books.

“Great Start is thrilled at the amount of books the students collected and these books are being FreeCycle’d out to children in our community immediately,” said Maureen Hollocker, Great Start Col-laborative Director.

Books donated by the Blackbird Elementary stu-dents will be distributed at the following Emmet County locations: Bayside Family Sports Center, Big Apple Ba-gels, Bradford’s Coin Laundry, Community Mental Health, Department of Human Ser-vices, M Salon, Petoskey Child

Health Associates, Petoskey District Library, Petoskey Pediatrics, Women’s Resource Center, Health Department of Northwest Michigan – Har-bor Springs location, Alcona Health Center, Harbor Springs Library, Little Traverse Bay Band Health Clinic, Manna Food Pantry, Hornet Health Center and Northern Dental.

Gift Idea:A subscription to the Harbor Light Newspaper231-526-2191


Barney places a small band of bells around Ayla’s ankle before stepping into the woods. The bird blends so well with the trees above, he’s hard to see once the hunt begins. As they walk through the woods together, it’s easy to sense the historical connection between humans and birds of prey. Falconry is an art that’s approximately 4,000 years old.

Lifting his gloved hand high, Barney signals to Ayla that it’s time to fly, and the bird moves swift and silent to a nearby branch. He pauses, flies to a higher spot, and repeats the process until he’s reached the last thick fingerlings in the treetops. Here, he sits, waiting.

After a little while, Barney blows a high-pitched whistle, and Ayla swoops back to his glove-perch, where a treat awaits.

After Ayla flies back toward the top branches, Barney walks into a field opening a good distance away. Crunching leaves give way to tall grasses. And then, he waits.

“My belief is to engage the hawk in what it natu-rally does as much as possible, meaning hunting and flying your bird often,” Barney says, adding, “working with Red Tail is truly amazing. Itʼs not as difficult as one may think.”

Barney said to become a falconer is a highly regulated process that requires several steps-- but the work isa learning experience that’s vital to be-ing a good steward of birds of prey.

“As an apprentice one would need to get licensed; a sponsor who needs to be of a general or master classification must be acquired. Next, build your facilities and purchase a few requirements, then finally, get inspected by a Conservation Officer.”

Many falconer rehabilitate birds, but also, trap-ping in a common way to begin working with a bird. “The type of trap most commonly used is a Bal-Chatri style,” Barney said. He said apprentices get with their sponsors and head out to the ideal habitat.

“As an apprentice, the only bird one can have are Red Tail Hawks or American Kestrels,” he ex-plained. “Training starts immediately. First on the

list is a one foot hop to your glove for food, then progressing to several feet. Next is flying your bird attached to a creance (which is a light line attached to the bird and the falconer) outside. At this point you have spent countless hours with your bird. Hundreds of flights to your glove. Once you see the bond developing your ready to “free-fly” your hawk and start hunting as quickly as possible.”

Barney said he will usually fly a passage hawk for two or three years, giving them as much success as possible in the field and getting them to a healthy reproductive age.

“I release birds always in the Spring. Releasing birds in the Spring gives them an higher abundance of food before the colder months arrive.”

It is estimated only 10-percent of birds like a Red Tail Hawk survive their first year in the wild. In captivity, the same birds can live upwards of 30 years.

“Concerns for wild birds of prey populations are probably similar to most wild animals, in that land development takes away from their natural habitat,” Barney said.

“I do see a high occurrence of electrocution for birds of prey. I also know the American Kestrel is declining, which the Peregrine Foundation is tak-ing steps to help. I think Falconry and birds of prey displays help educate people and gives awareness to their valuable link in the food chain.”

Likely to be kind to those who were watching Barney and Ayla hunt in the wet and increasingly windy weather, the falconer called his bird down to a pre-killed meal of whole squirrel. Though Ayla was no where in sight, the whistle promoted an echo of beating wings.

Less than a minute later, he’d swooped down with a speed too fast to capture on camera, land-ing on Barney’s glove. The bird immediately went to work on devouring the entirety of his squirrel meal, bones and all. Watching up close was both unnerving and awe-striking. The feat of engineer-ing that is a bird of prey makes it clear why getting to work with Ayla is what Barney calls a “true honor.”

Falconry Facts• There are approximately 5,000 licensed falconers

in the U.S.• There are approximately 100 licensed falconers in

Michigan.• A Red Tail Hawk doesnʼt get its red tail until it is

one-year old, and goes through a molt every year.• Game Animals most commonly taken by Michigan

Falconers are rabbit, squirrel, pheasant, and duck.• There are three classes of falconry permits: appren-

tice, general, and master. To become an apprentice falconer, an individual must: be at least 14 years of age, pass a written exam administered by the De-partment of Natural Resources (DNR), obtain the sponsorship of a general or master falconer, and pass a facility and equipment inspection by a DNR conservation officer.


Flight of the HunterBrook Barney and Ayla recently showed off their cooperative hunting skills near Harbor Springs. As a Red Tail Hawk, Ayla prefers to hunt from high perches, and returns to Barney’s gloved hand at a whistle command. Barney said, like all falconers, sharing his love for birds of prey helps educate people on the importance of their role in the natural food chain.

Last Vegas is not Hangover: The Golden Years, as I had heard. It boasts one of the most impressive casts assembled in a long time, five Oscar winners by my count, and although there are some similarities in the basic plot, I thought this was a much better movie. I do have to admit, though, it wasn’t exactly what I expected.

Billy (Michael Douglas), Paddy (Robert DeNiro), Archie (Morgan Freeman) and Sam (Kevin Kline) have been friends for their entire lives. Now, six decades later or so, Billy, the remaining bachelor in the group has decided to take that big step and the four men reunite in Las Vegas for his bachelor party. So far that sounds familiar, right? In many ways it is, but these four guys, plus Mary Steenburgen as an attorney turned lounge singer, are having such fun that you can’t help but smile with them.

I wouldn’t for a moment suggest that there is anything fresh and new in this movie. Old friends getting together, trying to relive their glory years and get their “mojo” back; it’s been done. Bachelor party out of control, also done. Old animosities resurfacing after many years? Been there, too. Somehow, amazingly enough, these guys manage to pull this stuff off and give it new legs; not bad for a bunch of retirees.

There are several different minor story lines to include each of our boys and give us a little more personal info; smart move, it gets us involved. There are definitely some funny bits, but there are some touching ones, also, and they work as well as the comic gags.

I am a die-hard Kevin Kline fan but I was disappointed with his character; he was a little reined in for my taste, I like him a bit more over the top. One of his first major roles was in the ensemble The Big Chill; thirty years later, he’s back in another big ensemble cast. I wish we would see him on the screen more often, in this movie and in general.

Bottom line, this isn’t a great movie, it won’t be remem-bered in the history of fine films, but it is an entertaining way to spend a couple of hours. It’s practically impossible to watch someone else having this much fun and not enjoy yourself a little.

Rated PG13, there are sexual situations and conversa-tions and some profanity, but no violence, but this is an adult movie, much of the humor would be lost on children.

met County (FCEC), Coun-cil on Aging will be hosting a Thanksgiving celebration at the Petoskey Friendship Center on Wednesday, November 27 at noon.Come enjoy a tasty lunch served by the Petoskey High School Girls Basketball team.
