Author Spotlight: Emita Brady Hill - 9 & 10 News
www.9and10news.com
She’s not a Michigan Native, but still calls it her home away from home, Emita Brady Hill has grown up spending her summers in Traverse City. As a historian, author, and lover of ethnic cuisines, Emita’s love for the Great Lakes State grew even more and ultimately led to the creation of her book...Such a great shout out to you!
Did you know…that the Leelanau Conservancy has worked with over 180 landowners to protect nearly 12,000 acres of private lands—including farms. Protected private lands are not owned by the Conservancy, and they are not open to the public for hiking, hunting or exploring. But even though the public can’t access these incredible places, we all benefit from their protection. The views, wildlife and water quality we all enjoy are the direct result of private lands protected with a tool called a conservation easement.

I'm so grateful for the Leelanau Conservancy.
Fantastic!
Thank You!

Generations of a family led by a strong patriarch clash over the future of a treasured Canadian vacation home. The local Ojibwe chief threatens to claim the land. And a pristine but foreboding lake north of Lake Huron is an omnipresent part of the drama. That’s the setting for "The Best Part of Us" the debut novel by former international Great Lakes executive, Sally Cole-Misch. A self-described “environmental communicator,” Cole-Misch is a former public affairs officer with the International Joint Commission, the U.S. and Canadian agency that advises the two countries on trans-border water issues, including the Great Lakes. Published by She Writes Press, "The Best Part of Us" is being released today, Sept. 8. Join FLOW and Sally Cole-Misch for a virtual conversation on Sept. 27 at 5 p.m. Register here: bit.ly/3bKvDbl

Local Spotlight: Patrick Boyd enjoying a Rollin’ Fatties pint!
Rollin Fatties is a delicious Session IPA that was made in collaboration with Paddles & Pedals to supports our trails here in Bellaire. $1 from every pint sold will go to the Glacial Hills Pathway & Natural Area.
Today we would like to celebrate another one of the amazing communities located along the Water Trail. Elk Rapids is situated at the western edge of the Chain of Lakes where it empties into Grand Traverse Bay on Lake Michigan. Paddlers can start their adventure at Rotary Park, with all the amenities paddlers need. Enjoy stunning views of the Albatross shipwreck, just a few strokes away followed by the amazing crystal clear waters of Elk Lake. For paddlers, just stopping in for a rest, the Bridge St Access is equipped with a kayak rack and just steps away from downtown restaurants, shops, galleries.
Learn more about the communities that make up the Chain of Lakes Water Trail: www.paddleantrim.com/chain-of-lakes-water-trail/community/

Today at 6 p.m. Eastern is the first of a series of four online informational sessions that the Michigan Dept. of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) plans to hold on Enbridge's proposed Line 5 tunnel. Click on the article for links to join either of the two sessions on wastewater impacts (EGLE will hold the same meeting twice on different dates) and either of two sessions on wetland impacts (EGLE will hold the same meeting twice on different dates). After those info sessions are completed, EGLE then will host four online public hearings—including public comment—on the proposed oil pipeline tunnel's expected wastewater and wetlands impacts. NOTE: It's important for the public to SIGN UP ASAP TO COMMENT at these public hearings using the links in the article, because public comment during the meetings likely will be first-come, first-served.
The public also can comment in writing at any time until EGLE's comment deadline on Oct. 19. Here's the Oil & Water Don't Mix public comment form for you to personalize and send: bit.ly/2Fligm0
And here is FLOW's Take Action opportunity calling on Gov. Whitmer and her top officials to revoke the easement that allows Enbridge to occupy the public waters and bottomlands of the Straits of Mackinac: bit.ly/2R8J77a

Gracias to Otwell Hub members, Casey, Marissa, and Caden Moore. We are so grateful for your family!
"When we relocated to Traverse City from Austin, TX a year ago, we had no idea how much Norte would impact our lives. Norte is an integral part of our local community and it embodies the values that make this region of Michigan so special: opting to get outside, staying active, being curious, adventuring, diversity and inclusion. After attending his first summer camp at Norte in 2019, our son Caden biked to school every day at his first year at Eastern Elementary and continued riding with Norte's Fall Farm Team. This organization is hyper-focused on the quality of life in our town – from ensuring we have safe paths to travel by bike and on foot, to creating an inclusive environment for our youth to gain confidence to ride safely and be a part of something that extends beyond riding bikes." - Casey and Marissa Moore
Be awesome, make a great impact, and join the Otwell Hub today: elgruponorte.org/hub
Thank you Casey Moore!
Tipsey Tuesday's Tip...tinted furniture oil is a great way to bring back vintage wood furniture! The legs of this piece of furniture were a bit scuffed up, but still in relatively good shape...a couple coates of the furniture oil & viola, looks nearly new again!😍 FYI, this process can be a bit messy, it's difficult to get the tinted furniture oil out from under your fingernails!😕 Wearing gloves is a good idea!

On Schuss Mtn GC and Summit GC, midweek tee times (Mondays-Thursdays) are just $39 at Schuss and only $29 at Summit. And only $25 and $15 respectively for 9 holes.
If you haven't played Summit in a long time, you'll probably be surprised by how well it's been improved over the past few seasons. And Schuss, well, Schuss is still awesome.
Make your tee time. 231-533-2020.
I can attest to the Improvements to the Summit Course! Love it!
Happy time
Closing on my condo Thursday. Can't wait to get out there and enjoy all shanty has to offer.
The Old Mission Peninsula Wine Trail has made the difficult decision to cancel this year's Mac & Cheese Bake-Off. We are certainly sad to share this news, but the safety of our guests, staff, and community comes above all else.
Stay safe, stay healthy, and hopefully we'll be able to raise a glass and share some delicious mac & cheese with you all next year! 🥂🧀We're sorry to inform you that our 2020 Mac & Cheese Bake-Off event will not be held this year. Please continue to support your favorite Old Mission Peninsula wineries by safely visiting their tasting rooms and purchasing their wines.
I really do intend to make it down for this one year

GREAT LAKES COASTLINE SURVEY INITIATIVE
BEACH WRECKAGE RECORDING FORM:
www.miplace.org/49d89a/globalassets/documents/shpo/programs-and-services/archaeology/crm-and-rese...
The shorelines of the Great Lakes around Michigan are considerably more eroded than in recent decades because of record high lake water levels. Consequently, cultural materials
including shipwrecks, parts of historic vessels, artifacts, abandoned docks, pilings, maritime landscapes, and prehistoric objects that had been buried in sediments or located in shallow water, are now exposed. The objects are now more accessible to researchers but are also more susceptible to natural deterioration and human activities.
As the lakes continue to rise, brief windows of opportunity exist to locate and archaeologically document these shoreline features. Citizen scientists and volunteers now have the ability to assist the State of Michigan in surveying its Great Lakes coastlines with the objective of locating the positions of cultural materials, photographing and recording preliminary observations of exposed materials, and compiling collected data for further assessment and public dissemination.

Northern White Cedar is one of the five most common trees in Michigan. The Anishinaabe regard the cedar as an important ceremonial plant and one of the four sacred medicinal trees. Cedar is also known as Arborvitae, which translates into “tree of life”. A group of early (1535) French voyageurs traveling to America became sick with scurvy after spending months at sea. Luckily for the voyageurs, the Anishinaabe came to their rescue by making a Vitamin-C rich tea using cedar leaves, saving their lives.

Much loved by builders of wooden boats!
Here is a pic from the cedars at south manitou A couple weeks ago when the family and I went over there!
And their roots spread outwards which make these giant beauties susceptible to toppling with high winds and heavy snows. 8/2015
Sacred to many groups.
We wanted to say thank you to everyone for an incredibly busy Labor Day weekend! That being said, we are taking today and tomorrow to regroup so sadly we will be closed! We will reopen on Thursday 9/10!
A much deserved break. ❤️😊
