Second Annual Ultimate Up North Kitchen Tour is a Huge Success!
The second annual Ultimate Up North Kitchen Tour is history—and everyone involved from the tour-goers to the designers agree it was historically fabulous. I was able to make it to 10 kitchens between Traverse City and Charlevoix and at each kitchen I overheard exclamations about how much fun people were having. It was so energizing to see so many folks finding their way to these kitchens scattered from Manistee to Petoskey. I was able to make it to ten kitchens from Traverse City to Charlevoix.… Continue

TileCraft Sponsors the 2009 Ultimate Up North Kitchen Tour
Indulge me in a little story that illustrates why I love tile and why I’m thrilled that the Traverse City tile store TileCraft is a sponsor of the 2009 Ultimate Up North Kitchen Tour. When I was 6 years old, in 1964, I went with my family to the ruins of the Baths of Caracalla in Rome. My father was a University of Michigan doctoral student and we’d been… Continue

Michael Moore's Capitalism: A Love Story has its Michigan premier in Bellaire
News that Michael Moore is in Bellaire doesn’t usually elicit a whole lot more attention from locals than the beer du jour at Short’s Brewing Co. on North Bridge Street (fyi: dark cherry porter last Saturday). Folks who live in this storybook town (population around a thousand and please, pronounce it B’laire) nestled in Northern Michigan’s gemlike Chain of Lakes where Moore lives, have gotten used to spotting the controversial award-wining filmmaker in what has been his hometown since 2004. N… Continue

We also retail "SUDS" which is a very versatile cleaner. $18 for a tub that lasts us about 2 month. You can use it full strength for spot treatment or jewelry polish, dilute it in water and fill a spray bottle for counter cleaner, window cleaner, etc. You can use it in carpet cleaners etc. Great product!
Also, we had a booth at this year's Natural Health Expo and we learned of a Michigan based company called "Wow Green." They make everything from window cleaner to toilet cleaner to a stain stick for laundry. What I liked most about them was that you only buy the spray/squirt bottles once. Then you buy little concentrated sachets to refill all your big bottles. I got a sample pack from them at the Expo and we've been trying it out on everything at the salon and we are thrilled! So fun to find a great MI company! The contact I made: www.wowgreen.net/12804
Another great laundry detergent is "Celestial Soap." The maker of Celestial Soap is one of our clients and we love her detergent! She's a local business too (Traverse City). Her products are available at Eastfield Laundry and I've purchased it at Olson’s too.

The proposed Michigan FairTax would REPLACE the income tax and current sales tax, with a consumption tax (sales tax at point of retail sale). Under this plan, no more state tax will be withheld from Michigan wage-earners' paychecks. What's more, every Michigan resident-family will receive a monthly "prebate" check, in amount based on family size. This will ensure that NO Michigan family will EVEN BEGIN paying the MI FairTax on goods / services unless, or until, they exceed poverty-level spending.
Under the MI FairTax plan, points of collection are substantially reduced to just retailers, many of whom are already collecting sales tax. Because service providers must account for income tax withholding and compliance costs, their prices carry a hidden tax which a FairTax will make visible. (Business-to-business purchases would not carry the tax, as this would, again, hide the cost of taxation in prices.)
Because of the "prebate" (advance rebate calculated as .0975 x $ [poverty level spending per family size]) to ALL Michigan-resident households, the MI FairTax rate would effectively be 0% on all monthly family spending to the poverty level; thereafter it's 9.75%. A reasonably inferred average effective rate would be ~5.5% (see p.2 of pdf brochure, also review an economic analysis [pdf] on MI FairTax effects prepared by the Hillsdale Policy Group).

Why the FairTax idea is right for America's working families.
Dr. Laurence Kotlikoff believes that it will take the FairTax to reverse unfunded obligations, now above $53 trillion and counting!
77 through 79. Lived in East Hall 77 & 78 and then moved to the NMC Appartments 78 and moved mid year to a house on Garfield. My roomates where Jim Bay, Jeff Dufort and Steve Trupiano. Did you know Dave Berry?
So you have the fortune to still be living in TC? I have to settle for my cottage on Elk Lake, well at least for now!
I was on Barth's floor, he being my roll model at the time!!! ;-)
I grew up in TC, spent as much time at Sugar Loaf or Crystal Mountain (with Bill Queen) as I did at school (hence the 4 year approach to a 2 year school), and hung with the likes of the Bantien's , Mike Bloom, Steve Trupiano, Keith Klein, etc. My roommate was Willie De Young whom I have not been able to locate for a LONG time.
I was at NMC
Maritime Academy 77-78
Automotive Technology 78-79
Electronic Technology 81-83
