The location for the final station of Emmet County’s EMS operations has been approved by the Emmet County Board of Commissioners.
On Thursday evening, February 25, 2016, the Board held a special meeting to approve the purchase of an approximate 10-acre parcel on Eppler Road, south of the Sheridan Street intersection, on the road’s east side. The property is in Resort Township and near to both U.S. 31 and U.S. 131.
“It has very good access to major intersections and roads that service Emmet County and it will provide us with rapid access for emergency response in high-density run volume areas,” said Larry Hansen, Emmet County EMS Director. “We feel this is the best of the available sites in the immediate Petoskey area, and we’re looking forward to getting started building this flagship public safety building.”
The location was pinpointed after a search by Jack VanTreese and Asso-ciates of Petoskey, a real estate firm commissioned by the county to find appropriate parcels to consider for EMS operations.
The south station, or Station #1, will be the third EMS building in the network of Emmet County EMS facilities. First to open was the Har-bor Springs M-119 location (Station

Another new name will be on the ballot in November for a seat on the Emmet County Board of Commis-sioners. Jon Terry has filed to run as a Republican in District 7 (which includes large portions of the City of Petoskey). The position is currently held by Les Atchison, who has said he will not be seeking re-election.
Born in Tra-verse City and raised in Char-levoix, northern Michigan has al-ways been an essential part of Terry’s life. His family relocated to Petoskey decades ago.
“While I was in high school, my mom was the executive director of Hospice of Little Traverse Bay in Petoskey. She married Bob Menge-bier, a doctor in Petoskey, and the family moved to Maxwell Road,” Terry said in a recent interview.
Upon graduating from Charlevoix High School in in 1989, Terry at-tended Calvin College. From there, he “took a greyhound bus to Wash-ington DC to start his career.”
“I worked for Congressman Fred Upton, a Republican from Michi-gan, for six years and then served as the head of federal government relations for the YMCA of the USA,” Terry said.
Despite success in the nation’s capital, the pull of this area never left Terry’s mind. Now back in Petoskey, Terry runs the consulting business he founded called Capitol Youth Strategies. The business provides strategic advice to nonprofit orga-nizations that work with youth.
With a heart for service-- he leads a

It’s no secret that Harbor Springs boasts one of the best small bands in the state, and once again the middle and high school musicians earned rankings to prove it. Both bands were awarded “Superior” (first divi-sion) ratings from all judges at the Michigan School Band and Orches-tra District II Festival.
At the festival, all bands perform three prepared selections and are evaluated in areas of tone, intona-tion, rhythm, technique and inter-pretation. Following these perfor-mances, bands then perform in a “sight-reading” session. During the sight-reading session, students and their band director are given a new piece of music and five minutes to discuss it. They then play the piece and are evaluated on both prepara-tion and performance skills.
“I am very proud of how both bands performed at festival,” said Harbor Springs band director, Pat-rick Ruddy. “Both groups have been working particularly hard over the last couple of weeks, and I was happy to see their efforts rewarded.”
Harbor Springs and Petoskey Bands were the only schools in at-tendance who earned straight “1” ratings. Harbor’s high school players

Secretary of State Ruth Johnson urged all qualified Michigan voters to participate in the presidential primary election on Tuesday, March 8 and reminded them of what to expect in their polling place.
“This election offers you the op-portunity to speak out on who may next lead our nation,” said Johnson, Michigan’s chief elections officer. “I encourage you to make your voice heard on Election Day.”
At the polling place, voters will be asked to select a presidential prima-ry ballot for either the Democratic or Republican parties that also may contain local election items. Voters who do not wish to participate in

Station #1 in Petoskey will serve multiple functions, including con-solidating ambulance services with administrative and billing services, which are currently handled at the County Building. Station #1 will
house ambulances and a mainte-nance area while providing staff quarters to accommodate 24-hour daily shifts. It will also include space for community and staff educational seminars.
The purchase price of the property is $200,000.

The Harbor Springs High School Ski Teams have plenty to be proud of this season: the girls team was the Lake Michigan Conference Cham-pion and placed third in a closely matched State Championship meet on Monday, February 29. The boys were conference runners-up and missed a team trip to the State Finals by just three points, still sending two individuals-- Sam Bailey and Max Sydow-- who both finished in the top 20 in their respective events.
Conditions and tough winter weather made the State Champion-ship meet, held at Schuss Mountain, a true challenge. The girls skied slalom first, and struggled to place well against a tough Houghton and Elk Rapids/Traverse City St. Francis team. They came back strong in the afternoon with four athletes placing in the top 15, but it wasn’t quite enough to lower their points into championship contention. The team placed just eight points shy of runner-up. Elk Rapids/TCSF was the

Odawa Casino recently presented a check for $543,503.01 to the Em-met County Treasurer’s office. The money is part of the semi-annual revenue sharing agreement the tribe has with the county.
Under its compact with the state of Michigan, the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians is required to give two percent of net revenues from its electronic gaming operations at Odawa Casino to the regional community; this check rep-resents the second half of 2015. The funding is used to support education and public safety for the residents of Emmet County. In 2015 Odawa Casino contributed more than $1 million to the Emmet County Local Revenue Sharing Board.
According to the Emmet County
website, funding priorities of the LRSB have been used for public safety, recreation and education. Applicants must be sponsored by a local taxing authority in order to apply for grants.
Serving on the LRSB are Em-met County Commissioner Dan Plasencia (District 4); Bear Creek Township Supervisor Dennis Keiser; and Resort Township representative Don Caird.
“It is important to our tribe to be a good partner in the Northern Michigan Community,” said Regina Gasco-Bentley. “We’re proud to be able to make such a substantial contribution each year.” Gasco-Bentley, along with representatives of the Gaming Enterprise Board of the Little Traverse Bay Bands of
Odawa Indians, and representatives of Odawa Casino made the check presentation to Emmet County Treasurer Marilyn May.
Owned and operated by the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, the $140 million Odawa Casino Resort in Petoskey opened in June, 2007 and features 1,200 slot machines, 25 table games, a 4 table Poker Room, several restaurants, a gift store, a nightclub and a 137-room hotel.

book club at Petoskey Middle School and is on a local com-mittee studying the issues of poverty in northern Michi-gan. Terry said when current commissioner Les Atchison approached him about run-ning, he decided to give it a go.
“I think I have the skills and experience to be an excellent commissioner. This is my first time running for office and I will bring a fresh perspective and new energy to the Board,” he said.
Terry said he believes the county, like government ev-erywhere, needs to focus on spending accountability and making sure that hard earned tax dollars are spent wisely and effectively.
“People across the county are stretched thin and do not want to pay more taxes and should be confident that their county government is not spending on unnecessary or wasteful projects,” Terry not-ed. “Our county paid $10,000 to transport a gigantic, metal dome for the observatory at the Headlands, and then decided not to even use the dome. That kind of waste drives me nuts. That money could have been spent on other services – like support for veterans – or returned to
the taxpayers. I will fight every day to make sure your hard earned tax dollars are spent wisely and effectively.”
Terry, who has been mar-ried for over 20 years has two sons; one is a freshman in college and another is a stu-dent at Harbor Light Christian School. Working with young people is one of his passions, and something he’d want to continue to do as a commis-sioner.
“I love meeting with high school government classes and talking about the impor-tance of civic engagement. Every person has a responsi-bility to engage in the political process and provide input to their elected officials.”
This sense of discourse and accountability would be a big part of how he serves as a commissioner, Terry added, saying he will focus on “transparency, openness and accessibility.”
“I will push to have our commissioner meetings be streamed live over the Inter-net to make it easier for the public to watch and engage in the process. Personally, I will commit to posting each and every vote as a commis-sioner on my public Facebook page. I will also host regular
“county conversations” where I will provide an overview of what I am working on and allow people to ask questions and give feedback. I want voters to know where I stand on issues and give ample op-portunity for them to express their opinions.”
Terry clearly hopes to bring connection between elected officials and those they rep-resent.
“I will emphasize the ser-vant part of public service,” he said. “If I had a campaign theme, it would be ‘serve others!’”
Although the primary for County Commissioners won’t take place until August, Terry said he hopes people in this community exercise their right to vote every chance they get, including the up-coming presidential primary.
“I know politics can be discouraging and frustrating, but it is still important to vote and not sit on the sidelines.”
Terry’s campaign has a public Facebook page (www.facebook.com/JonTerryMI) where he plans to “highlight people, businesses and non-profits that make Emmet County an excellent place to live and work.”

the presidential primary may receive a ballot that contains only local items.
The presidential primary is open to all registered voters. There is no political party registration requirement in Michigan, so voters can choose to participate in either the Democratic or Republican party primary.
Polls are open 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Additional informa-tion regarding Michigan’s presidential primary can be found at www.Michigan.gov/elections.
To obtain a sample ballot, determine whether you’re registered to vote and find your polling place, you can visit the Michigan Voter In-formation Center at www.Michigan.gov/vote.
There is still time for voters to obtain an absentee ballot. As a registered voter, you may obtain an absentee ballot if you are:• age 60 or older.• physically unable to attend
the polls without the assis-tance of another.
• expecting to be out of town
for the entire time the polls are open on Election Day.
• in jail awaiting arraignment or trial.
• unable to attend the polls due to religious reasons.
• appointed to work as an elec-tion inspector in a precinct outside of your precinct of residence.Voters who wish to receive
their absentee ballot by mail must submit their application by 2 p.m.Saturday, March 5 and must indicate their po-litical party ballot choice in writing (Republican ballot; Democratic ballot; or ballot without presidential primary, for jurisdictions with local is-sues on the ballot). Absentee ballots can be obtained in person from the voter’s local clerk anytime through 4 p.m. Monday, March 7. Voters who request an absentee ballot in person on Monday, March 7, must vote the ballot in the clerk’s office. Emergency absentee ballots are available under certain conditions through 4 p.m. on Election Day.
Residents who registered
to vote by mail or as part of a voter registration drive and have never voted in Michigan are not eligible to vote by absentee ballot in their first election. They must vote in person at their precinct. This restriction does not apply to voters who are overseas, disabled, or aged 60 or older.
Voters are reminded of Michigan’s photo identifica-tion requirement. They will be asked to present photo ID at the polls, such as a Michigan driver’s license or identifica-tion card. Anyone who does not have an acceptable form of photo ID or failed to bring it with them can still vote. If the voter does not have a photo ID, the voter may sign a brief affidavit attesting to their identity. Their ballots will be included with all others and counted on Election Day.
A specially equipped voting station called the AutoMARK Voter Assist Terminal is also available at each polling lo-cation for use by voters with disabilities.
This process, which began in 2012, has involved countless hours of hard work by so many people and it is very reward-ing to see the final element to the plan coming into place,” said Larry Cassidy, Emmet County Commissioner Dis-trict 2.
“The facilities and equip-ment that have been secured over the last 18 months will give our EMS staff the best resources to ensure our resi-dents and visitors to Emmet County receive the absolute best pre-hospital patient care.”
Emmet County began pro-viding emergency medical services in Emmet County and portions of neighboring Cheboygan and Charlevoix counties on Jan. 1, 2015. At that time, it was determined that three stations would best serve the residents and visitors to the Emmet County region.
“For us, this station will allow us to have a central point for running the busi-ness side of EMS and also for ambulance storage and maintenance, staff respite and community interaction.
For the community, it is a big step toward organizing our emergency management and public safety services,” Han-sen said. “We’re very pleased with this location and we’re looking forward to watching the building take shape in the months ahead.”
Construction on Station #1 is expected to begin as soon as possible. The facility will share design features of the two existing stations.

As part of Mrs. Polleys’ Science Exploration class, Harbor Springs sixth graders recently had a chance to ex-perience winter adaptations first-hand. After learning about the insulating qualities of snow and how many local creatures have adapted harsh winter temperatures by liv-ing under the snow, students built snow shelters (known as quinzhees) in front of the Middle School. In addition to building the shelters, the students learned the basics of building a fire in winter conditions. With these skills, our students would fare better than the chechaquo in Jack London’s short story “To Build
A Fire.” In addition to building a fire, students also learned how to make sure it was put out properly (“dead cold”) before leaving the forest.
Special thanks were offered to community member Doug Fuller who helped with the quinzhee building and Little Traverse Conservancy’s Sarah Mayhew and Melissa Hansen who helped with the fire building.

Marian Louise Randels passed away on February 22, 2016 in Greenville, MI. She was 92 years old, having been born in Stryker, Ohio on May 17, 1923.
She was the middle of three daugh-ters born to Blanche (Aebersold) and Ferd M. Juillard. Her sisters Jean and Kathryn preceded her in death along with her parents.
On October 9, 1943 she married Raymond L. Randels, of West Unity, Ohio, who was born on the same day as she. The marriage took place in Tacoma, Washington, at the First United Methodist Church, where Raymond was sta-tioned in the service. They celebrated 69 years of marriage before Ray’s death in 2013, and are the proud parents of three children, Michael, Josephine and Peter. Michael also preceded her in death in 2008 after suffering from breast cancer for several years.
When Raymond returned from serving in the army during World War II, Marian and he re-enrolled at Ohio Northern University and continued work on their degrees in education, and after graduation moved to Battle Creek, Michigan, where Raymond accepted a teaching position and the role of head basketball coach. Marian worked as a full time substitute teacher in the Battle Creek system until the family moved to St. Mary’s Lake when Raymond became the director of the Michigan Education Association Conference Center there. In the 60’s, she worked with a teenage group in the pursuit of equal civil rights and was quite often found in the halls of churches in the inner city, listening and supporting the efforts of those teenagers.
After eighteen years raising their children in this ideal fam-ily environment, time during which Marian was a full-time mother and volunteer in PTA and other school related capaci-ties, Camp Fire Girls, Boy Scouts, the American Cancer Society, and The First Congregational Church of Battle Creek – always keeping the cookie jar full – the family moved to East Lansing. Here she was an active member of the Sparrow Hospital Sur-gical Lounge Volunteers and with The Peoples Church salad luncheon program, serving as co-chair for several years, as well as taking an active role in the rotating circles of the Women’s Society. A highlight of her life during this time was serving on the jury of the Francine Hughes trial (The Burning Bed).
Following Raymond’s retirement from the MEA, they moved to the Washington D.C, area where they were assigned various positions around the country with the National Education As-sociation. At each of these assignments, Marian continued her volunteerism. She concentrated wherever she was needed to assist Raymond with his work and on hospital assignments.
In 1987 they made the decision to fully retire to the Lake Michigan home in Good Hart, where they lived until their final move back to Lansing in 2000. While in Good Hart, Marian was very active as a volunteer at Northern Michigan Hospital in Petoskey, as a member of the Emmet Ambulance Associa-tion Board of Directors, as a member of the Alcohol and Drug Awareness Board, and as a Board member of the state agency of Northern Michigan Substance Abuse Services. She and Raymond also taught AARP-sponsored 55 Alive Driver’s Educa-tion Classes throughout northern Michigan for several years.
Marian is survived by her two children, Josephine (Jodie) Faber of Greenville, MI, and Peter Randels of Okemos. Other survivors include seven grandchildren, ten great grandsons and one great granddaughter, and many nieces and nephews.
Cremation will take place and inurnment will be at The Peoples Church Memorial Garden at a later date. To honor Marian, donations may be made to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation or to the Little Traverse Conservancy, 3264 Powell Rd, Harbor Springs, MI 49740. Hurst Funeral Home, Greenville, is serving the Randels family, and memories and messages of condolence may be shared atwww.hurstfh.com.

I remember reading a quote, which I was, of course, unable to find for this column, so I will paraphrase. The basic prem-ise was that the hardest part about aging is that while you look different on the outside, you still feel young on the in-side. I thought it was a Betty White quote, but I can’t seem
to locate it. Whoever said it was absolutely correct. You don’t feel any different, hope-fully you may have matured in your thought processes, but the youth you were is still in there. Betty White did say, “I’m a teenager trapped in an old body.” I can relate.
I recently stopped in the Rocking Horse Toy Company to pick up a couple gifts for some family members. About two seconds in, I stopped thinking about them and starting thinking about what I wanted. They have jacks. I loved playing jacks. I was hor-rible at it; I have small hands and no coordination but it was fun anyway.
They have pick-up sticks, another of my favorites. Again, it wasn’t a favorite because I was good at it; as with Jenga, you have to have steady hands and you cannot be clumsy. I failed on both those notes, but I still loved playing it.
Then I saw a Spirograph. I didn’t know that these were still being made. I have ab-solutely no artistic ability, but with these little wheels, I could feel like I did, making gorgeous designs just by fol-lowing directions and moving the gears as I was told. I swear that if they had a Lite Brite and an Incredible Edibles machine, I would still be in the store, I was having so much fun. (I know they still make Lite Brites, but they’re differ-ent; if you have an original, hold on to it. They’re selling for several hundred dollars now.)
I did find fun toys for the kids I was shopping for, but I had much more fun looking than they will probably have playing. I don’t have the same reaction when shopping in Toys “R” Us or the box stores.
In fact, I usually wind up get-ting disgusted by some of the toys or the behavior of the children looking at them. I’m “that” aunt who buys books or puzzles or board games more often than not. I have probably bought Candy Land and Chutes & Ladders for more children than I could ever compute, but those are the first games, the ones that can be easily played by the little ones but can be family games, too. Once they’re a little older, they’re liable to get Scrabble or Boggle or Uno or Yahtzee; games that you have to spell or count.
I know there are many things that we have had during our lives that we say to ourselves, “I wish I had kept that.” Cars - I had a ‘71 Chevelle, a ‘70 Mustang Con-vertible and a ‘77 Camaro that I would love to have back, or books that I have loaned that weren’t returned, but those I would want to have again
just for myself. Other things I wish I had for the monetary value. Old lunch boxes, old games and toys; they are crazy expensive to buy now. I tried to find one of those Bas-Ket basketball games that were popular during the late 70’s, basically a box with a basket on either end and holes in the floor. When the ball would land, you would pull a lever and shoot it toward your basket. Not high tech, but plenty of fun. The football games that worked on vibra-tion; could you really be good at those games, or was it all luck in which way your play-ers vibrated. That progressed to handheld games with the players represented by lines, not a huge step but at least you had some control of your game.
Or Jarts; there was a great concept. What could be safer than kids throwing pointed objects around the yard? Ac-tually, the current version of
Jarts are all plastic, no metal spearing end attached, but you can still buy Garden darts that are made like the Jarts of old.
Does anyone sell batons for kids anymore? I actually got pretty good at twirling one; that used to be such a big deal. I remember watching Miss America pageants and that was always my favorite in the talent portion of the program. If you’re a kid, someone play-ing a violin or piano doesn’t grab your imagination, but ballet dancers and baton twirlers; those girls got my attention.
My next visit to the Rocking Horse will be to buy gifts for me. But if anyone sees me buying a hula hoop, knock me down and smack me along-side the head. My inner child needs to be realistic enough to know that I couldn’t do that at eleven and I would definitely hurt myself if I tried it now.

We’re off to see the Wizard somewhere over the rainbow! Harbor Springs High School is busy preparing the way to see the Wizard in the musical “The Wizard of Oz”. It’s the classic tale of Dorothy Gale (Kaleigh Jacobs), a young Kansas girl, waking up in the land of Oz and her adventures as she tries to get to the Wizard (Brandon
Howard) to see if he can get her back to Kansas. She makes friends along the way with Scarecrow (Ian Sweet), Tinman (Libby Slyvain) and the Cow-ardly Lion (Rylee Nantell) and enemies of The Wicked Witch of the West (Kirsten Rambo), who tries to stop the four friends anyway she can. With a cast and crew of 30+ High
School students (with a little help from some Munchkins in elementary and middle school) bring this beloved story to life on the stage at the Perform-ing Arts Center in the Harbor Springs High School on Friday and Saturday March 11-12 at 7:00pm and Sunday, March 113 at 3:00 p.m. Cost is $10/adults and $7/students.

Friendship Center of Harbor Springs offering community Chair Dancing
The Friendship Center of Harbor Springs would like to invite the community to join us in a new program being offered Chair Dancing…
We provide the chair, two paper plates, and the dancing program so get ready to come and dance, chair dancing that is we will toe tap, do the cha-cha and the cancan while sitting down. The music on the DVD will bounce and so will you. By the time you finish you will have toned muscles, groaned a little and laughed a lot. You
In ApprecIAtIon will go away refreshed. You may not be able to do stand-up aerobics because of a bum knee or twinge of arthritis here and there but we will do a Broadway strut from our chairs. You will bend stretch and move muscles you didn’t know you had, but you won’t know it much be-cause you’re enjoying yourself and that’s the whole idea.
It’s a gentle but active alterna-tive exercise program. It’s espe-cially popular with older adults. “Some exercise programs make people feel old we want people to feel young and alive” And you will. Everyone can benefit from exercise, but health club work-outs and strenuous exercise programs aren’t for everyone! Chair Dancing encourages health and fitness for active people or those whose physical condition, restricted mobility, or age, limits their participa-tion in conventional forms of exercise.
Chair Dancing is seated exer-cise -- chair dancing -- choreo-graphs a variety of dance moves that can be performed without leaving the chair. Types of dances include tap, country, Charleston, tango and polka. Benefits include total body toning, improved posture and balance, stronger bones and muscles, improved flexibility, greater stamina, more confi-dence, less stress and lowered risks for depression, osteoporo-sis, diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure.
Please join us at our tempo-rary location (The Birchwood Inn) on March 2nd and 16th from 11:30am-12:30pm. Get ready and let’s dance… in a chair that is!

Editor’s Note: The Harbor Springs girls basketball team lost in the opening round of district tournament play on Monday night, Feb. 29, to East Jordan. The final score was 57-47. Further details were unavailable as of this news-paper’s press time on Tuesday. Following is a wrap up of the previous week’s games.
By Kevin JohnstonSpecial to Harbor Light Newspaper
Harbor girls basketball team started the week against the East Jordan Red Devils team that they will face in the first round of the district playoffs before falling to Class ‘B’ Kalkaska.
The girls made the trip to East Jordan a week ago Tues-day to play in what would be a preview of the first round of this year District Tournament.
Harbor would come out shooting behind the efforts of senior Alexa-Jensen Phil-brick who would nail two three-pointers to start the game’s scoring. It would take East Jordan three and a half minutes to find the net, but at the end of the first quarter they had overcome Jensen-Philbrick’s hot start and led the Rams 11-8.
The second quarter found the Rams struggling and down by as many as nine points. East Jordan claimed ownership of the paint on the defensive end of the floor and gave Harbor very few second chances during the quarter. Freshman Madi Bezilla would sink a three-pointer late in the period to close the gap to six headed into halftime.
Harbor senior Harmony Lang would be the hot hand coming out of the break as she dropped a short jumper from just outside the paint and then followed with a three-pointer from the corner to make the score 23-22 East Jordan.
The Red Devils then went on a 6-0 run to reopen their lead. Junior Libby Garver would get the Rams offense back on track when she battled through the East Jordan defense for two. The Rams would slowly chip into the Red Devils lead with Garver and Jensen-Philbrick finishing off the Rams third quarter scoring to move to within three (32-29).
Jensen-Philbrick would start the Rams final period with a steal in the defensive end that she took all the way to the basket for a layup bring-ing the Red Devils lead to just one. Her next score would be another three that would even the contest at 34 after an East Jordan basket.
The lead would change back and forth but stay within one point until Jensen-Philbrick would again bury a three then two free throws to put the Rams up by five.
East Jordan then sank a three-pointer of their own

Division II girls’ team cham-pion.
On the girls side for overall standings (including individ-ual skiers without a qualifying team) sophomore Maddy Fuhrman again led Harbor Springs with two strong fin-ishes: a fifth place in slalom and eighth place in giant sla-lom. Senior Demi Trabbuchi followed with another top ten for the girls, placing sixth in the state for slalom and 12th in GS. Elena Esposito placed 21st in slalom and 40th in GS; Marin Hoffman placed
38th in slalom and in 13th GS; Isabel Gracy placed 39th in Slalom and 14th in GS; and Zoe Shepherd placed 34th in slalom and in 36th GS.
Sophomore Max Sydow took 18th place in giant sla-lom, and junior Sam Bailey skied into 16th place overall in slalom. Petoskey Boys won the overall title for the sixth year in a row. Petoskey also claimed both individual state champion titles, with Mitch Makela winning in giant sla-lom and Garret Lundteigen winning in slalom.
with just 12.6 seconds left on the clock to draw to within two but after immediately fouling Jensen-Philbrick on the Harbor inbounds they would hear the final buzzer down 47-43 after the Harbor senior dropped both of the subsequent free throws.
“I thought it was a very hard fought game,” said Harbor head coach Tom Brogger following the game. “Our seniors really did what they needed to do. Alexa (Jensen-Philbrick) scored 12 in the fourth quarter. Libby Sylvain was once again a beast down there taking care of the ball and defending. Mikayla Dick-inson who hasn’t played a lot because of her shoulder, had to play a lot of minutes and did a good job. We have to face
them again in the districts and if that didn’t scare us I don’t know what will. That’s a really good team.”
Harbor would make the trip to south for their final regular season game of the year to face powerhouse Kalkaska. Minus starting senior Har-mony Lang the Rams hoped to avoid a repeat of the loss they suffered at the hands of the Blazers earlier in the year but it was not to be as they would fall 74-41.
“We knew we had to play our best if we’re going to be able to challenge this team. I knew that we would have a shot if we could hold them to 50, said Brogger. “Our funda-mental basketball tonight was really bad.”
When asked how he thought
the loss would affect his team just before heading to the district tournament Brogger responded, “sometimes you have to have a game like this so you can pick yourselves up and I hope that’s the purpose this game serves.”
Harbor scorers against East Jordan were led by Alexa Jensen-Philbrick with 21, Mi-kayla Dickinson 7, Harmony Lang and Libby Sylvain with 6, Madi Bezilla 4 and Libby Garver with 3.
In the Kalkaska effort scores included Libby Garver with 9, Mikayla Dickinson 7, Jes-sica Worm and Zoey Bezilla 6, Haley Rushing 5, Libby Sylvain 4, Madi Bezilla 3 and Casey Savard.

The Harbor Springs boys basketball team managed to upset the heavily favored East Jordan Red Devils at home before narrowly falling to Kalkaska in their next to last week of regular season play.
East Jordan came to Harbor on February 23 with just one loss on their season record which was the exact opposite for the Rams who, to that point, could claim only one win on the year.
The Rams would get off to a slow offensive start scoring only seven points in the first to the Red Devils 12.
In the second quarter Harbor senior Mark Leonard would catch fire and knock down three 3 pointers, one deuce and a free throw to ac-count for all of the Rams scor-ing in the period and draw his
team to within one (20-19) going into the half.
While the third quarter has been the Rams Achilles heel this year it would not be an issue against East Jor-dan. Leonard would bury his fourth three-pointer of the evening while his senior classmate Jack Carter, junior Noah Erxleben and sopho-more Nick Bonter would also hit shots from outside the arc as the Rams outscored the Devils by 9 to head into the fourth up 38-30.
East Jordan would make a serious comeback attempt in the closing quarter scoring 27 that included five 3’s but the Rams Leonard, Carter and Bonter would each add final three-pointer’s to their eve-ning stats and Harbor would make 10 of 17 attempts from the free throw line to maintain enough of a lead that they
would be able to claim the 60-57 upset victory.
“That was a big night for us,” said head coach Adam Wood. “That was a lot of fun. Our kids came with confidence and a swagger about the way they were going to play. They brought everything they had. For the first time in a while, we had a lot of guys who shot well. It’s been a long time since we’ve had a win like that.”
Heading to Kalkaska to face the team that had been the only win for the Rams prior to the East Jordan game Har-bor head coach Adam Wood was concerned that his team might be a little emotionally spent after the big win earlier in the week. “Sometimes you have a big win and it’s hard to keep that energy level.”
Harbor took charge in the first in the first quarter con-
trolling the pace of the game. At the end of a low scoring first period the Rams found themselves up 9-4 thanks to the scoring efforts of seniors Kolton Jacobs and Mark Leon-ard along with junior Noah Erxleben.
Harbors second period would be led by sophomore Nick Bonter who would bury three three-pointers and two from the free throw line to lead the Rams into the half up 25-18.
It would take less than two minute in the third for Kalkaska to erase the Rams lead as it looked like Harbors third quarter ills had returned. The Rams would manage to stop the Kalkaska run and free throws in the last minute of the period by Jacobs and Leonard would give Harbor a one point advantage going into the fourth.
The game would remain hotly contested well into the fourth until the Rams composure started to falter. Kalkaska would capitalize on two untimely travelling calls and a rare technical foul to take a four point lead with 2:30 remaining on the clock. Mark Leonard brought the Rams back scoring four unanswered from the floor to tie the game at 47 then giving Harbor the lead with one minute left when he went one of two from the free throw line.
Kalkaska would regain the lead after an over and back turnover by the Rams and go on to close out the game from the free throw line defeating Harbor 52-48.
“We looked tired tonight,” said coach Wood following the game. “We knew they were going to come play us tough. Unfortunately, I don’t think
we brought quite enough energy to get it done tonight. I was proud of Mark Leonard. He had some struggles but made a couple of really big plays to get us out of a hole and give us a chance there at the end.”
Harbor scoring against East Jordan was led by senior Mark Leonard with 21, Noah Erxleben 16, Jack Carter 11, Nick Bonter 6 with Jack Van-dermus and Joe Claramunt each adding 3.
Against Kalkaska scorers included Mark Leonard 17, Jack Carter 12, Nick Bonter 11, Noah Erxleben and Joe Claramunt each with 4 and Kolton Jacobs 2.
The Rams close out their regular season this week against Cheboygan and then on the road in Rudyard.
The Lechner name carries big awe for good reason in the track and field world. Brother and sister Jacob and Erika Lechner, a senior and junior at Harbor Springs High School, have become two of the state’s top competitors in throwing.
This winter, the siblings took part in the Michigan Indoor High School Track Series, and proved their talent holds up against athletes from far bigger school districts.
They both qualified in weight throw and shot put field events for the culminating State Championship event last weekend.
Erika won the weight throw with an impressive 48-foot throw, earning the state champ title. She also placed sixth in shot put with a throw of 38’10.
Jacob also placed in both events, taking seventh place in the state for weight throw with a 47’8-footer and 10th in shot put with a 47’2”. Jacob has already signed a letter of intent to play football for Michigan Tech in the fall.
The Hammerhead Swim Club took 2nd place overall at the MTSL State Meet, Sunday February 28th at Saginaw Valley State University with 853 points. Twenty two teams participated in the State Meet with Midland Dolphins placing 1st and the Kalkaska Cruisers 3rd. Obtaining a top 3 finish from year to year is something the Hammerhead Swim Club has done consis-tently due to the number of swimmers our team carries. This year the team took 39 swimmers to the state meet that scored points by swim-ming in individual events and/or on a relay.
Kurtis Alessi, a senior at Harbor Springs High School,
turned in his best perfor-mance to date taking 5th place in the 100 free and 8th in 100 Backstroke. The following swimmers also scored points by placing in the top 12: Alex Bemben 1st 200 IM & 4th 100 Breast, Josie Baker 4th 100 IM, Abbey Birchfield 11th 100 Back, William Cabana 1st 200 Free & 1st 50 Back, Lilly Chamberlin 2nd 200 IM, 4th 100 Fly & 3rd 100 Breast, Lucy Chamberlin 4th 200 IM and 7th 100 Back, Tori Cameron 9th 200 Free, 8th 100 Free & 6th 500 Free, Laurel Campbell 13th 100 Free, Suzy Carpenter 11th 100 IM, Braeden Colberg 1st 200 Free, 6th 100 Free, 6th 50 Back, Colin Colberg 7th 50 Fly & 10th 50 Back, Alexis
Glaser 1st 100 IM, 1st 50 Fly & 2nd 50 Back, Alyssa Glaser 7th 100 IM, 1st 50 Breast, Jordan Drayer 11th 50 Breast, Isabel Dunn 1sth 50 Fly & 2nd 50 Back, Ella Deegan 4th 50 Back, 8th 200 Free & 10th 100 Free, Jill Gretzinger 2nd 100 Breast & 8th 100 Free, Alexis Hoff-man 17th 50 Back, Connor Liddy 2nd 100 Breast & 9th 50 Free, Megan Novak 6th 50 Breast, 9th 50 Free, 9th 100 Free, Jacque O’Neill 5th 100 Breast, Laura Pawlick 10th 100 IM, 10th 50 Free & 11th 50 Back, Gabriella Rose 10th 100 Back, Grant Rose 8th 50 Breast & 12th 100 Free, Jacob Schornak 5th 50 Fly, Emma Squires 13th 200 Free, Tavi Steffel 10th 25 Breast, An-
nabelle Wilder 3rd 100 IM, 5th 50 Back & 3rd 50 Breast, Gabe Wilder 3rd 50 Free & 4th 100 Free and Kobe Wilder 7th 50 Free & 3rd 100 Breast. In addition to their individual events all of these swimmers swam on relays that placed in the top 3. Swimmers going for relays only were Cosmo and Ezra Franseth, Hunter Gutt, Ava Kitscher, Riley Schornak and Garth Vorce. The Ham-merhead Swim Club is an age group swim team whose season runs from October thru February. If you would like more information please visit hammerheadsc.com.

Colorectal cancer (cancer of the colon or rectum) is the third most common cancer after skin cancer in both men and women (lung cancer is the first) and is expected to kill over 50,000 Americans this year, according to the Ameri-can Cancer Society (ACS). McLaren Northern Michigan, in recognition of March being Colorectal Cancer Awareness
month, is providing free edu-cational information and tips to help with colon health.
Colorectal cancer is often preventable and curable. Anyone age 50 or older or with a family history of colorectal cancer should be screened. “Colorectal cancer often arises in a polyp. If a polyp is discovered by colonoscopy, the polyp could be removed
before this becomes malig-nant,” stated Ervin Hire, MD, oncologist at the Karmanos Cancer Institute of McLaren Northern Michigan. “In ad-dition, a colonoscopy might discover cancer that is in an early stage, which increases the possibility of cure. People should discuss colorectal cancer screening with their primary care provider.”
Colorectal cancer risk fac-tors include a family history of the disease and lifestyle-related factors such as obesity, smoking, and a diet high in red meat. Kathy Gowell-Hansen, Registered Dietician at the Karmanos Cancer Institute of McLaren Northern Michigan, has provided healthy diet tips to lower your risk of colorectal cancer:
- Eat a diet high in veg-etables and fruit. Half your plates and grocery cart should be produce.
- Eat a diet high in fiber. Aim for 25-35mg a day.
- Get the recommended lev-els of vitamin D and Calcium
- Avoid processed meats (lunch meat, hot dogs, sau-sage, bacon).
- Cut back on red meats
to no more than 18 ounces a week.
- Avoid excess alcohol in-take.
McLaren Northern Michi-gan will be distributing guide-lines and tips, developed by the ACS, at community events and throughout the region. Among these are Living Smart, the ACS guide to eat-ing healthy and being active,

Why use a foam roller?Using a foam roller before and after a work-out is beneficial. Rolling gets the body ready for a workout by increasing blood flow throughout the body and helps it recover afterward. And because rolling breaks down knots it improves range of motion and flexibility. These benefits can decrease the chance of injury and de-crease recovery time after a workout.
When using a foam roller:• Keep abdominal muscles tight• Maintain a neutral spine in neck and
lower back• Roll muscles in line at a slow pace• Apply pressure for 15-30 seconds over
tight areas• If too painful, decrease force by applying
less weight to area.• Drink plenty of water to help recovery• • However, for optimum performance
you should emphasize cardio followed by strength some days, power and strength on others, along with recovery days of low level cardio.
Thoracic Spine (Upper Back) – Extension:
• Keep abdominal muscles tight• Place foam roller in middle of back
across shoulder blades• Clasp hands behind head, bringing
elbow together• Roll slowly to top of shoulder blades and
down to bottom of rib cage• Roll right or left to emphasize one side
Thoracic Spine and Pectoral (Chest) Stretch:
• Lie vertically on roller with head and buttocks supported
• Bring arms up from sides to 90 degrees with palms up
• Rest arms on floor• Hold stretch for 30-60 seconds
There are many more foam roller exercises for different muscle groups. Focusing on key areas or muscle groups that have taken a beating during your workout will improve flexibility, performance, and reduce injury. Get to know your foam roller!

Sheriff Pete Wallin wants to make sure the citizens of Emmet County stay safe this winter season by staying off thin ice. Ice on our lakes and rivers must be five inches thick to hold the weight of person and eight inches thick for snowmobiles and off-road vehicles.
While Sheriff Wallin hopes that all residents will wait until the ice has thickened,
he warns that the ice is never 100% safe. Anyone venturing out onto the ice should take the following precautions:
· Do not make the first track on the ice. Check with someone familiar with the area before going out.
· Leave a travel plan with someone in case you don’t return.
· Dress in layers to pro-tect all exposed body parts.
Consider wearing a personal flotation device, or ice creep-ers for boots.
· Carry safety items like a cell phone, whistle, or rope. Ice picks, or even screwdriv-ers, can be used to climb over broken ice.
· Check ice thickness by using an ice spud, auger, or cordless drill. Keep a safe dis-tance between yourself and others in your group. And, if you find a weak spot, retreat.
· If you hear the ice crack, have your group spread out. Everyone should imme-diately lie down to distribute the weight on the ice more evenly, then crawl on your belly to safer ice.
· If someone falls through the ice, do not run to the hole. Call 911 and then use a pole, branch, rope, or other long object to try and reach the victim.
· If you fall through the ice, stay calm. Call out for help and kick your feet while getting hands and arms up onto safer ice. Ice picks or screwdrivers can help you get a grip on the ice. Continue to swim up onto the ice until you can crawl or roll out onto the ice to safety.
· Pets that go on ice are a major cause for many near-drownings and deaths. If your pet has wandered onto dangerous ice, do not follow them. Stay where you are and coax them back to safety.
While Sheriff Wallin hopes that nobody in Emmet County will find themselves in such a precarious situation on ice this season, by heeding the warnings above he knows you can stay safe.

RISOTTO ALLA MILANESE (Rice with Saffron and Parmesan Cheese)Royal Danieli – Venice
“The true Milanese rice is rich and golden. Butter and chicken stock give it a luxuri-ous flavor, and saffron, used sparingly, colors it a delicate yellow. Some-times half a cup of white wine is substituted for half a cup of the stock. The chef at the Royal Danieli only insisted that we be careful not to let the rice become too dry. We have followed his advice and find this a marvelous way to cook rice.
In a saucepan melt: 4 tablespoons butter.
Add: 1 small onion, minced, and cook until onion is lightly browned.
Add: 1 ½ cups rice and stir to mix,
Add: 4 cups chicken stock and bring to a rapid boil. Cover and cook over low heat for 25 minutes, stirring frequently.
Stir in: ¼ cup butter and 1 teaspoon saffron softened in 2 tablespoon chicken stock and cook, uncovered, over low heat for 5 minutes longer.
PresentationTurn into warm serving dish and sprinkle with: 2 tablespoons
freshly grated Parmesan cheese.”
Notes from Sue & PhilRice: We used Arborio rice.
*Creamy with a delicate flavor. A perfect compliment to the Escalope De Veau Marseillais.
Escalope De Veau Marseillais (Veal Scallops with Crabmeat)The Red Carpet Club – Chicago
“Sometimes when you dine at a restaurant you come across strange com-binations of food that ordinarily you would never try. So it was this veal and crabmeat dish from The Red Carpet. Once in a while when we are feeling experimental this is the kind of recipe it’s fun to do.
Pound: 12 veal scallops to a thickness of ¼ inch. Dry well and dust very lightly with flour.
Sauté a few pieces at a time in: 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon cooking oil over moderately high heat for 4 minutes on each side. Remove veal and keep warm.
When all the veal is sautéed, pour off fat and add: 2 table-spoons butter, ¼ cup Madeira and 2/3 cup canned beef bouil-lon. Boil over high heat and reduce liquid to ½ cup.
Lower heat, add the veal, and simmer for 10 minutes.
Bearnaise Sauce(Makes About 2 Cups)
Simmer 2 tablespoons chopped shallots in ½ cup tarragon vinegar until partially cooked.
Add: ½ cup white wine and cook until liquid is reduced to one-third of original amount.
In a heatproof bowl beat: 6 egg yolks until thick. Strain the vinegar-wine mixture and beat into eggs.
Put bowl in pan of simmering water and beat until mixture thickens. Add, drop by drop: 1 cup melted butter, beating all the time.
Taste for seasoning and add a little salt and pepper, if neces-sary. Finish with 2 tablespoons dried tarragon leaves.
PresentationArrange the veal scallops on a warm platter. Place: 1 lump
warmed crabmeat on each veal scallop. Cover each with 2 tablespoons of the béarnaise sauce and garnish with: 24 cooked asparagus tips.”
Notes from Sue & PhilMadeira: We used Sandeman Rainwater Madeira (a drier
style of Madeira). If you’re cooking with wine you might as well buy something you’ll enjoy. Mass produced cooking Madeira’s contain salt and aren’t produced for sipping.
Madeira has a very interesting history. It is made in the Madeira Islands in Portugal. In the 1600 and 1700’s brandy was added to the wine to help it survive its journey to the New World. The wine was exposed to heat as it traveled through the tropics. This exposure deepened the flavor. Today, its unique taste comes from heating the wine. So, enjoy the drier versions chilled as a first course and the sweeter versions as a dessert wine.
Béarnaise: If your pan is too hot when beating the eggs in the double boiler they may clump. If that happens, add a few drops of cold water and keep whisking vigorously. It will smooth out for you.
*The recipe has a lot happening at once. It’s not hard to prepare but you just need to have everything prepped and measured out ahead of time. We made the Béarnaise first and kept it on a very low heat.
*The Risotto Alla Milanese is wonderful with this veal recipe. We laid our veal scallops on top of the risotto to give the dish some heights.
*You could do this recipe with chicken breasts instead of veal. Substitute chicken stock for the beef stock.
*We saved the Madeira sauce the veal simmered in. It was lovely and we didn’t have the heart to throw it out. You can freeze it. Serve it with Roast Beef, Grilled Steak or Sauteed Chicken.
In the KItchen
By Sue McGlaughlin with Phil Behling
I never knew or would have guessed there was more to Vincent Price than his countless horror flicks and renowned voice. Until…a
dear friend loaned me his first edition copy of the “Treasury of Great Recipes” written by Vin-cent & Mary Price and published in 1965. The
book is a collection of famous recipes from world -renowned restaurants adapted for the American kitchen. As the Price’s traveled throughout the U.S. and Europe, they would ask chef’s to share their recipes. They’d take these recipes home; try their hand at preparing them and then entertain guests with their culinary creations.
I loved how Vincent and Mary describe themselves as being from Hollywood but not allowing Hollywood to define them. Their approach to entertaining was very open and unpreten-tious. They enjoyed an eclectic group of friends and diversified menus. The entire home was their entertaining stage; dinner in the library, brunch by the pool, dessert in the kitchen. The recipes they chose to publish were diversified as well.
• Harry’s Bar in Venice – Scampi Aurora (Shrimp with Hol-landaise Sauce au Gratin)
• Pump Room in Chicago - Flaming Shashlik (Lamb on a Skewer)
• Tour d’Argent in Paris – Filets De Sole Cardinal (Fillets of Sole with Crayfish)
• Santa Fe Super Chief Dining Car – Poached Eggs Harlequin
The cookbook’s accolades are amazing. Saveur Magazine referenced the book as “One of the most important culinary events of the 20th century.” Booklist recently named it the eighth most popular out-of-print book of any kind. Vincent and Mary’s daughter, Victoria, has published a 50th year an-niversary edition of the cookbook. It includes all the original recipes and a new forward note from Wolfgang Puck.
With the help of my friend and mentor, Chef Phil Behling, we have picked a few of these recipes to recreate. Our goal was to follow the recipe as close as possible. However, it is 50 years later and ingredients, equipment and techniques have
Editor’s Note: Sue McGlaughlin, coowner with her husband Keith, of Toski Sands Market & Wine Shop, periodically provides our readers with a delicious recipe read.

changed over time. We hope you enjoy a nostalgic walk back in time as you read and/or create these timeless recipes.
SOUPE A L’OIGNON (Onion Soup) – Les Halles, Paris“After a late night in
Paris we used to like to go to Les Halles, the large outdoor mar-kets, where we could get steaming bowls of savory onion soup to revive us. Late or early, this hearty soup is one of my all-time favorites.
In a deep saucepan heat: 3 tablespoon bacon drippings.
Sauté in the drippings: 4 large onions, chopped fine. Cook over medium heat until onions are just soft
Add: 2 tablespoons flour, ½ teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pep-per, and 1 clove garlic, mashed. Cook until mixture is golden brown but not burned.
Add: a sprig of parsley, a pinch of thyme, 1 quart chicken stock, 1 cup dry white wine, and simmer for ¾ hour. Add: 1 tablespoon cognac.
PresentationServe in individual ovenproof bowls, with 1 slice of toasted
French bread in each.
If you want to serve onion soup gratinee, place in each bowl 3 layers of toasted French bread, each layer sprinkled with grated Parmesan cheese. Pour soup into bowls, top with more grated Parmesan cheese and a little melted butter, and place under broiler until the cheese melts and forms a brown crust.”
Notes From Sue & PhilBacon Fat: 4-5 slices of thick cut bacon will render about 3
tablespoons of bacon fat. Refrigerate the cooked bacon and use in salads and egg dishes.
Onions: We recommend a sweet onion. We sliced our onions instead of chopping them. The larger slices of onion will maintain more texture, where the chopped onions will dissipate through the cooking process.
Thyme: We used fresh thyme leaves, about 3 sprigs.
PETITS POIS A LA FRANCAISE (Little Peas with Lettuce)Hotel de la Poste, Beaune (Burgundy)
“These tiny fresh green peas are my fa-vorite vegetable in all the world. In France they serve a dish of these young peas as a separate course, they are wonderful, but we prefer to serve them right with our meal. Even the frozen ones are good prepared this way,
but the garden-fresh kind are, of course, much, much better.
In a saucepan melt: 2 tablespoons butter.
Add: 2 pounds young green peas, shelled, 1 head lettuce, shredded, 10 small white onions, 2 sprigs fresh thyme, 4 sprigs parsley, 1 teaspoon sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Stir to mix well.
Cover pan tightly and allow to simmer on low heat. Moisture from the lettuce should be sufficient, but you must stir occa-sionally, and can add a spoonful of water if necessary.
Cook for about 45 minutes or until peas are tender. Add: 1½ tablespoons butter, mix well, and serve.”
Notes from Sue & PhilPeas: Peas are not in season so we used frozen peas. We
thawed the peas in a colander, rinsing with cold water.
Lettuce: We used iceberg lettuce
*Wow! This was very lovely and simple.

Wizard of OzWe’re off to see the Wizard
somewhere over the rain-bow! Harbor Springs High School is busy preparing the way to see the Wizard, in the musical “The Wizard of Oz”. It’s the classic tale of Dorothy Gale (Kaleigh Jacobs), a young Kansas girl, waking up in the land of Oz and her adventures as she tries to get to the Wizard (Brandon Howard) to see if he can get her back to Kansas. She makes friends along the way with Scarecrow (Ian Sweet), Tinman (Libby Slyvain) and the Cowardly Lion (Rylee Nantell) and enemies of The Wicked Witch of the West (Kirsten Rambo), who tries to stop the four friends anyway she can. With a cast and crew of
30+, Harbor Spring High School students (with a little help from some Munchkins in elementary and middle school) bring this beloved story to life on the stage at the Performing Arts Center in the Harbor Springs High School on Friday and Saturday March 11-12 at 7:00pm and Sunday, March 113 at 3:00 p.m. Cost is $10/adults and $7/students.

Building Downtown, Winter Business in Harbor Springs. Local restaurants are banding together to battle the winter blues in Downtown Harbor Springs! In an effort to draw local and non-local business into downtown, the Restaurants, old and new, have come together to create some new promotions. Apps & Hopps is one of the first, offered each Wednesday evening by The Pier, The New York, Turkey’s, Mustang Wendy’s, Sam’s Graces and The Paper Station Bistro. Each restaurant offers a Beer and Appetizer combination for only $10. “The idea behind this is to experience all of the restaurants in town for a reasonable price in a small plate fashion”, says Mike Naturkas, owner of The Paper Station Bistro and Stained Cup Coffee Co. Jody Ewbank, man-ager of Stafford’s Pier restaurant loves the camaraderie among the restaurants in the area and feels that events like this will be pivotal for the continuing success of the downtown.

Eddie the EagleAnother “based on a true story” and I cannot tell you how much is true, but I do know that the movie was endorsed by Michael “Eddie” Edwards and that was enough for me. I do not remember this gentleman in the 1988 Winter Olympics. I apparently wasn’t paying attention, but I needed a feel good story and this one lives up to its billing.
Growing up as a disabled child in England, the odds that Eddie Edwards would ever make the Olympics were astronomical, but that didn’t factor in his de-termination. Mind you, he doesn’t care what sport he makes it in, only that he makes it. He eventually chooses ski jumping because England hadn’t partici-pated in the sport for decades, leaving the field open for him if he could qualify. He doesn’t have to beat anyone to make a team.
The movie is charming and funny and sometimes touching. I’m certain that it is very embellished, but Edwards said that it captured the spirit. Well, that’s one thing that man knows; spirit.
I liked the fact that they never really made fun of his efforts, woebegone though they sometimes were. Taron Egerton does a good job making Eddie believ-able, as do the young actors who played him as a child, and Hugh Jackman is good as Eddie’s coach who has many problems of his own. (The coach is a fictional character, as I understand it.) Jo Hartley and Keith Allen were strong in support as Eddie’s parents.
Let me say that I am not a fan of the current winning doesn’t matter, participating is enough theory; I think learning to win and moreover, learning to lose, is im-portant. That doesn’t mean that I dismiss the lesson of the importance of trying. Eddie had no chance of winning, that’s not giving away the plot, believe me; you’ll figure it out soon enough. But without winning, he reaches his very lofty and unlikely goal of skiing in the Olympics. It is a fun story but with a great lesson; that anything is possible if you want it with your whole heart and you are willing to take the failures and keep trying. I would recommend seeing this in the theater; the visuals are amazing. I know nothing about ski jumping as a sport, but it was
