‘Collective self cinema’ program held at Dennos

A new cinema series aimed at bridging the parent-child relationship through film will be held at the Dennos Museum Center in Traverse City once a month into January. In partnership with Megan Mertaugh-Graber, a clinical mental health therapist and founder of the Leelanau-based private practice “Care-O-Van,” and Tracy Smedes-Hepler, a former Leelanau Children’s Center teacher with a degree in early childhood education and founder of Tearwater T, the goal of the film series is to help both youth and adults understand themselves and each other better, as well as to enhance “a family’s felt sense of connectivity and love.” People who register for any of the film screenings and facilitated workshops will be able to enjoy a movie together and will take home guided mental health resources. 10/23/2024 06:26 PM

Island deer hunt will be more expensive

Expect fewer deer hunters to participate in a specialized hunt on North Manitou that begins Friday, an outcome linked to complications in reaching the Wilderness-designated island. Permits were issued for up to 200 hunters, but approximately one-quarter of them have notifi ed the National Park Service that they may not attend. 10/23/2024 06:26 PM
