My parents were immigrants from Eastern Europe. In 1929, at age 10, my father came to Detroit from Czechoslovakia with his parents and two brothers. My mother left her parents’ farm in western Ukraine via Gdansk and London to Detroit in 1938, shortly before World World II broke out. She was 19.
The sun is trying to peep through the fog. It is very foggy this morning and visibility isn’t very good. The fog light on top of the bus was bright, though, when Kevin left for school. I always pray that everyone will be safe as they leave for work and school on foggy mornings like today.
SUTTONS BAY — Mawby Sparkling Wines is adding macaroni and cheese to the holiday menu during its inaugural Mac and Magnums event.

TRAVERSE CITY — Forget Christmas in July, campground reservations require summer in December thinking.
If you think all jerk baits — floating/diving minnows — are the same, think again. A few years back Kevin VanDam won a major tournament on a jerk bait, made by a company that was not his sponsor, because it did something different than his company’s version.
Hunting season led to fewer anglers on the water and colder temperatures had smaller lakes beginning to freeze. The ice has not been safe in most locations. Anglers reported limited success on the river systems.

TRAVERSE CITY — Bill Ferguson is a “squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous old sinner,” or at least he was for an hour or so in 2017.
The leaves are not all off our trees yet. We didn’t get around to raking up the ones on the ground, either. “Old Man Winter” arrived before we were prepared. In the last few days it snowed and snowed. I would guess that we received about eight more inches of snow. This morning the temperatur…
I am driving along the bay, the sun emerging as a thick red line pushing the blanket of night away. As I approach the cabin, I see men, women and children dancing around a bonfire. I am surprised by the noise: shouldn’t they be quiet? They’ll scare away the deer. As I walk towards them, I he…

GLEN ARBOR — For many people, nothing marks the start of the holiday season like a craft show and bazaar.

Bass anglers of a certain age will remember when tailspinners — most notably Mann’s Little George — were all the rage for bottom bouncing along deep-water structure. I haven’t heard much about them in, oh, 35 years or so, but Japanese lure maker Jackall has introduced a new one — the Deracoup.
VANDALIA — Jim Horn is a bass fisherman and right now — right before the lakes ice up for the winter and we move into hard-water angling — is his favorite time of year to fish for them.
