Top of the world Manistee man successfully climbs Mount Rainier

B Y KEN GRABOWSKI

A SSOCIATE E DITOR

Rick Jensen remembers the momentwell when the thought first crossed his mindto make an attempt at climbing MountRainier in Ashford,Wash. It came to himsitting in the warm comfort of his Manisteehome on a cold, snowy night in January 2010.

In Jensens hand was a copy of thatmonths Mens Fitness Magazine andunder the outdoor section was an articleentitled Mountain High that was writ-ten by Thayer Walker. The story by Walkerdetailed a six-day trek he took up the14,410-foot high Rainier to reach the sum-mit of this still-active volcano located 50miles southeast of Seattle, Wash.

It talked about ways of getting in shapeand adventure and suggested a mountainclimb as a way of achieving it, said Jensen.It isnt a technical climb that they take youon as you arent banging into the rock tomake the climb and they take you up a setroute.

Jensen laughs recalling how his wife,

Lynn, and children took the news that hewas considering climbing a very dangerousmountain.

They all asked me where did you

come up with this? Jensen said, and thenadded with a hearty laugh: Everyone wasreal supportive, but nobody wanted to goalong as they said this is your trip and yourdream.

Even though he was intrigued by theconcept, Jensen didnt just run out and book the first flight to Washington. Being58 years of age, he wanted all the details tosee if this was something he was capable of doing at this stage of his life.

What I did was go on the Internet andresearch it a bit, and I discovered there areactually three climbing concessionaires tothe National Park Service that offer climbson Mount Rainier, said Jensen. One iskind of demanding and another one offered you a day on the mountain to acclimate tothe altitude which is better for someone my age, so I opted for one of those outfits.

Jensen said the climb took three and ahalf days to cover the nine miles each way to the summit. He also learned that the suc-cess rate of people that attempt the climb isabout 50 percent, so he had his concerns.The Manistee resident was very much intoan exercise regimen when the idea of mak-

ing the climb first came to him, but hequickly realized through his Internet studies

ensen and his fellow climbers were greeted to this sunrise when they reachedthe summit. They began the final climb at 1 a.m. in the morning to get the bestfooting conditions.

that it would mean takinghis training to the next level.

The InternationalMountain Guide websitetells how to train for MountRainier, and all the statisticson altitude gain per mile,said Jensen. It basically says that you have to bein the best shape of yourlife. I had been going tothe West Shore HealthcareConnection for four years

using the stair master every morning for an hour, soI started to pick it up anotch.

Picking it up a notch What the pick it up a

notch meant in his casewas to add a 20-poundweight vest on to improvehis aerobic workoutand strengthen his legs.However, it also causedsome problems that threat-ened his bid to climb MountRainier even before heever came close to board-ing a plane for the flight toWashington.

During the course of my training my knee wentout on me twice, and I hadto have surgeries to removepieces of cartilage and torepair a torn meniscus,said Jensen. The first oneoccurred in October 2010and the second in Decemberof that year. On the secondone I had a lot more prob-lems. I had Kevin Tabaczkaat Dynamic Therapy work

with me, and he got meon some other exercises tostrengthen it.

Many people might have been deterred at that point by the setback, and calledoff the trip. However, inJensen it ignited a spirit tonot only push on, but to doit harder than ever.

One thing I did that alot of people thought lookedgoofy was I actually turned

around the stair masterto workout, as it helpedstrengthen my quads forgoing down. Nine milesdown that mountain and18 miles round trip puts aconstant pounding on theknees. I can honestly say after the climb that thehardest part was comingdown.

Jensen said when hearrived at Mount Rainierprior to his climb it was thesecond time he had gone tothe base of the mountain. A year earlier he had visited it when he first started on thisquest to see what he would be facing in this adventure.

Picking a good guide service is vital to success andJensen quickly realized washe made the right choice inthe ones he selected for hisquest to the top.

The guides I went up with have a guide for every two climbers, and they maintain that for the wholeclimb, said Jensen. They teach you stuff along the way like the proper way

of walking at the higheraltitudes. We would dosomething that was calledthe rest step that every time you plant your foot youare using less energy. They also train you in case youfall on the ice or rock as itis called self arrest. They spent one whole morningteaching us how to fall, rolland cram that ice ax into theside of the mountain. You

slip a couple of times on theclimb, because obviously you are on snow and ice.

There were seven otherclimbers in his group who were all from the State of Washington. However, hedid encounter an interestingconnection with one of theguides.

Ironically, the guide who was guiding for thefirst year for this company was from Traverse City, so we had a little in commonthere, said Jensen.

Mental toughnessThe guides also pre-

pared them for the mentaltoughness needed for theclimb, and the factors thatthey couldnt control the weather.

Mount Rainier andmost mountains are theirown little weather system,said Jensen. When we left base camp it was bright andsunny, but when we got toParadise it was misting andstarted to rain. That left us

switching to our rain gear,and by the time we got tothe climbing center the sunhad come out so we switchedinto gear like a shirt for ourfirst day at Camp Muir.

The next day when they moved to a higher elevationat Ingraham Flats, whichis located at about 11,000feet, Jensen discovered how quickly things can change onthe mountain.

It was nasty, windy andkind of snowing this icy rain, he said. It was kind of a day of rest anyway, so wekind of stayed in the tents allday because it was so cold.

He said one of the greatmisconceptions is the dan-gers that can occur at thelower levels of the mountain.

Even in terms of dan-ger the lower portion of the mountain can be very dangerous when it melts in August and September, saidJensen. What is above thatis called the Muir Snow Fieldand it is ranked as one of the10 most dangerous hikes in America, as Mount Rainier isone of the snowiest places inthe country getting an aver-age of 57 feet of snow a yearat the 5,000- to 8,000-footlevels. There is nothing butsnow and when storms comein there is nowhere to hide.

You have to be fit-

ted with special glacierglasses because the sun is sointense. We even had to putsunscreen on our ears, chinand even the inside of ournostrils because the reflec-tion is so intense.

The climb is very

demanding from a physicalstandpoint, and three of thepeople in Jensens groupcouldnt complete the climb.He never really had doubtsabout his own ability, butthere were a few tryingmoments in the final 700feet to the summit.

It is extremely physi-cally demanding, and in ourgroup one guy got sick at base camp and another one wasnt feeling well whenhe got to the higher camp,said Jensen. The thirdgentleman left after the firsthour and 45 minutes, whichis one of the most physi-cally demanding parts of theclimb.

I got one hamstringcramp on the way up, and I just stretched it out. There was one point at the upperlevel where I had to stop because I couldnt catch my breath. I took about five orsix deep breaths to get theoxygen back in my lungsand was fine.

DangersThere all also other dan-

gers that he is well aware of such evident by the fact thatformer Manistee County resident Ed Hommer diedon Mount Rainier after being hit with a falling

rock while climbing theDisappointment Cleaverroute in preparation for anattempt on Mt. Everest.

Jensen said most peopledont realize that the ascentof the final 700 feet to thesummit begins in the dark.That is done because thetemperature makes thesnow easier to traverse than when the sun tends to softenit.

The summit day was areal challenging day as youactually woke up at 1 a.m.as most summit attemptsare made in the dark witha headlamp, said Jensen.Where you are climbing theice is firmer then becausethe sun hasnt hit it yet. Wealways joked that the reasonthey did it that way was because they didnt want you to see where you wereclimbing up. It was steep

and rocky and the way downI said, I cant believe we just went up that area.

He said they also madethat portion of the climb two weeks ago when the temper-atures were at record highsin Michigan. They were17 degrees on the summit. Added into that equation was a cold, blustery wind, but the view according toJensen was second to none.

It was a great view as you are above the cloudsand can see Mt. Adams, Mt.Hood, Mt. St. Helens, saidJensen.

He said the moment wasa personal satisfaction tohim in realizing that at 58 years of age he could pushhimself to the limit and suc-ceed at such a difficult goal.

As I looked out over the view I just kind of thoughtI made it, said Jensen. Ithought that I just wantedto push my body one moretime and see if I still had itat this age.

While reflecting on thatmoment Jensen sharedanother reason behind his wanting to make this tripand take this challenge. Itcame from something hehas seen far too many timesin his profession as a morti-cian.

I have been in my pro-fession for over 30 yearsand over that time, whendeath strikes, I have heardso many people say we wereplanning to do this when we

retired, but we never did,said Jensen. Now is thetime to do it because life canchange in an instant.

It is a philosophy on lifethat should be looked at with admiration by every-one. Now that Jensen hasconquered a mountain, hesaid he doesnt have a desireto do another one and feelssatisfied with accomplishinghis goal.

I bought a T-shirt saysMind over mountain andthat is what it was for me,said Jensen. I dont plan todo anything to the extent of what I just did and am justgoing to do some traveling.

He added with a smileand slight laugh that maybeit was time to head in a dif-ferent direction literally.

I actually want to getthe scuba tanks back on andgo in the opposite directionand do some warm weatherscuba diving next January ithe Caribbean, said Jensen.

However as the cer-tificate he received for com-pleting the climb states Inrecognition for showing for-titude, stamina, courage anddetermination to requiredto climb any mountain,Jensen has the satisfactionof knowing he pushed him-self to the limit and met thechallenge. It is a feeling he will undoubtedly carry withhim for many years to come.

Like it or not, the 2012 presiden-tial campaign is in full swing, and thenational media is just eating up every second of it.

Although it is still 14 months untilthe first ballot is cast in the generalelection, the media is acting like it will take place next week. My concernis the media really needs a wake-upcall, because its coverage of electionsis part of the reason for the currentmess in the country.

Instead of being the watchdogof the people and pointing out theshortcomings of certain candidates,the media has deteriorated into tab-loid journalism at the national level.Todays younger journalists are moreinterested in sensationalism thanthey are in stating the facts.

I can remember when print andtelevision reporters of the past took presidential campaigns very serious-ly, and it helped weed out those who werent qualified to run. Now, they want the unqualified ones because of

the outrageous things they say anddo. When Nixon crossed the line in

the 1972 campaign with Watergate,the media called him out. When Gary Hart challenged them with his phi-landering ways, they caught him inthe act. They did the same with theClintons when they stepped over theline on some shady business dealingsand Bills womanizing ways.

Todays national journalists do just the opposite. They not only con-

done the unqualified candidates, they welcome them. Their coverage of what they think is important borderson the ridiculous. My guess is that Walter Cronkite and Walter Winchellprobably are spinning in their gravesat what is taking place today.

Fox Sunday with Chris Wallacetalked non-stop about the Iowa cau-cuses this week. What intrigued me was the emphasis put on those cau-cuses, as if a bunch of corn farmershave found the holy grail of successin picking presidential candidates.

After talking for 45 minutes on

the importance of the caucuses, Foxpanel commentator Juan Williamspointed out that the winner in Iowahas never went on to be the nomineeof either party.

Can you say over-hype?That should more than be evident

by the fact that the vast majority of the candidates presently in the raceand leading in those early polls will be long gone by the time the conven-tions roll around. In the meantime,they will be spouting off about every

subject saying things that really donthave any merit for solving our prob-lems.

However, the national media lovethem. Not because they are knowl-edgeable or good politicians, but because they say outrageous thingsthat sell newspapers and raise televi-sion ratings. Is that really the role of the media?

I think not. What frustrates me is the media

used to promote phrases that stick with us like Today, is a day that willlive in infamy, Ask not what yourcountry can do for you, but what youcan do for your country, and Mr.Gorbachev, tear down this wall. What we are left with instead, today,from the media is a segment of theold Dick Clark Bloopers televisionshow where political candidates say and do stupid things.

It is a sad state of the media.These are serious times, and we

need qualified people running this

country. However, we also need astrong media striving to give thepeople the true story. It is the reasonour forefathers included the need fora free press in the constitution.

Will the old media return in 2012?Sadly, I doubt we will see it at all,

and certainly not before I...See you next Wednesday.

Dont let downgrade deter you from investing

J ust when you thought you couldtake a break from financialdrama, following the resolutionof the debt ceiling issue, here comes Act 2: the downgrade of the U.S.long-term credit rating. As a citizen, you may be feeling frustrated. Andas an investor, you might be getting worried. But is this concern really justified?

Certainly, it was news whenStandard and Poors (S&P) loweredthe U.S. long-term credit ratingfrom AAA to AA+. This was, afterall, the first time that the U.S.has lost its AAA status since itsinitial publication 70 years ago.Furthermore, S&P put a negativeoutlook on the rating, which meansthat further downgrades are possible. But despite these developments,theres no reason to think that thesky is falling in on the investment world. Consider the following:

Downgrade doesnt meandefault. Rating agencies such asS&P assign ratings to bonds to helpinvestors measure credit risk thechance that they wont receive time-ly payments. The downgrade to AA+ just means that investors would beslightly less likely to receive future

payments than if the bond had an AAA rating. This is far differentfrom a default, which would resultin investors not receiving currentpayments.

U.S. credit rating is still high

quality. S&P didnt change the U.S.governments short-term credit rat-ing, which applies to debt maturingin less than one year. Furthermore,even the long-term rating of AA+ isstill considered high quality. Also,keep in mind that two other majorrating agencies, Moodys and Fitch, both affirmed their AAA rating onthe U.S., although Moodys has anegative outlook on its rating.

Downgrade was not a surprise.Because the downgrade had beenrumored for weeks, the financialmarkets may have already pricedin some of the impact. While itspossible that interest rates may rise,its also important to note that simi-lar downgrades of other countriesdebt in the past have not resultedin significant rate jumps. As for the

stock market which was already volatile, partially due to the debtceiling issue the negative reaction weve seen to the downgrade willlikely be short-term.

This downgrade should not be

as calamitous as weve been led to believe. Corporate profits, always akey driver of stock prices, are stillstrong, and with the market correc-tion weve seen in the past coupleof weeks, many quality stocks now appear to be more attractively priced which means it may actu-ally be a good time to look forinvestment opportunities that makesense for you, rather than head tothe sidelines.

In any case, you never want tooverreact to any one piece of news.If you were to make big changesto your investment strategy, youdlikely incur fees and expenses and, even more importantly, your portfolio might no longer bepositioned to meet your long-termgoals. Youre much better off by sticking with a strategy thats basedon your individual needs, risk toler-ance and time horizon. This can bechallenging, especially in light of thescreaming headlines. But remember,although past performance isntindicative of future results, the U.S.financial markets have seen plenty of traumas in the past, and havealways survived and, usually,eventually prospered. As a smart,

disciplined investor, you can do thesame.

In the span of just less thantwo hours, the Manistee CivicPlayers will present playwrightWilliam Inges classic five-hourslice of 1955 Kansas life in theplay Bus Stop, which continuesat Manistees historic RamsdellTheatre at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 19 and20 and 2 p.m. performances on

Sunday, Aug. 21.Hes trying to tell the storiesof a bunch of peoples lives, saiddirector Jackie Karnisz of theplay. They cross paths in a way that they probably wouldnt crosspaths otherwise.

Bus Stop is set in a street-corner restaurant in a smallKansas town about 30 miles westof Kansas City. It begins at 1 a.m.in early March when a busload of passengers is stranded in a smallrestaurant by a late-season bliz-zard.

Its like getting stranded ona vacation, Karnisz continued.A stranger comes by to help,and others come by and soon youhave this motley crew of people.

I like the variety of people inthe play, said Kathleen Miehlke,who plays young waitress ElmaDuckworth.

I like that they are real peo-ple, said Carol Burba, who playsrestaurant owner Grace Hoylard.You have someone who is naive,youve got a headstrong jackass, awannabe singer, and the jackassspartner who tries to keep himgrounded.

Its neat that the play takes

place over five hours, saidTheresa Pepera, who is the youngchanteuse Cherie. Ive never

been in a show that takes place in just one day. Also, I think theressomething in everyones characterthat anyone can relate to. Cherieskind of an idiot, but I like her.

I like the complexity of thecharacters and the interactions between different relationshipsthroughout the show, said Ben

Hengy, who plays alcoholic for-mer college professor Dr. GeraldLyman. It is ingenious how Inge put it together, almost likea lot of little shows happening atone time, yet they all intertwinetogether.

Thats whats most interest-ing, the characters, said ClyveLagerquist, who has the role of cowboy and young rancher BoDecker. A lot of them seem pret-ty real, but they also are each likelittle parts of bigger characters.For instance, Virgil and Bo seemlike they could be one character Virgil as the older experiencedside and Bo as the raw inexperi-enced side of the same mental-ity.

Burba said she feels sorry forthe lonely professor and Virgil.

I really feel sorry for Virgil,Miehlke said.

Hes having a love affair withhis own lonesomeness, said JohnCounts, the actor who is playingranch hand Virgil Blessing.

I like that theres some com-edy and some serious parts,Miehlke said. Bos character ishilarious. Hes got all the funny lines.

In terms of my character,said Rob Isble, who plays sheriff Will Masters, I am dealing with

Bo, who is kind of a younger version of me. Its my chance tohelp him as a way to pay back those who helped me. My job inthe show is to keep everythingin order, to keep things runningsmoothly.

If you know anything aboutthe author William Inge, you can

see his personality coming out inalmost every one of the charac-ters, Hengy said. Theres some-thing quirky about his personality and its written into each of thecharacters.

And Inge is trying to say something about America,Counts said.

The time setting for thisplay is an interesting time in ourcountrys history, said David Yarnell, who plays Carl the busdriver. Not much time hadpassed since World War II andKansas and Montana were stillalmost in cowboy times. Bo talksabout having a 24-inch color TV,and sure enough, there actually was a station in Billings, Mont. atthat time that had the call lettersKULR, perhaps the cowboy pro-nunciation of the word color.

Counts said that claustro-phobia comes to mind when hethinks about the people strandedin the restaurant.

Its kind of like trapping peo-ple in an elevator, Yarnell said.Youd start trying to entertainone another and probably tell alot of stories.

In a situation like this, it can

go either way, Miehlke said.Youre either going to turn oneach other, or youre going to be

friends.Karnisz said she became

familiar with Bus Stop whenshe saw it as a Broadway show onHBO several years ago.

Some famous actors broughtit to life, she said. Our show will be as good as the actors, becausethats what its all about. Itsabout the people. Its not aboutthe special effects, its not aboutthe set, and its not about the cos-

tumes. Its about the people andthe stories that they are telling.Tickets for this show are $14

and can be reserved in advance by calling TREATicketing at(800) 836-0717 (10 a.m. 5p.m.) or by ordering online, 24-7 at www.ramsdell-theater.org.The Box Office will open for tickesales on Wednesday, Aug. 10 atnoon.

business office at (231) 723-7188or visit the website at www.rams-dell-theater.org.

Manistee Civic Players prepare to open Bus Stop

Dave Yarnell/News AdvocatThe entire play Bus Stop, under production by the ManisteeCivic Players, takes place in Graces restaurant in a smalKansas town in 1955. Behind the counter is Carol Burba, whoplays restaurant owner Grace Hoylard, and on the stools areBen Hengy, who plays alcoholic former college professor Dr.

Gerald Lyman, and Theresa Pepera, who is the young chan-teuse Cherie. In the background are Rob Isble as local sherif Will Masters and Kathleen Miehlke as who plays young waitresElma Duckworth.

SCOTTVILLE Entrepreneurs in Lake,Manistee, Mason, and Oceana counties inter-ested in starting or expanding a business havea new place to turn for assistance. West ShoreCommunity College (WSCC) has partneredwith the Center for Business Acceleration andIncubation Studies (CBAIS) at the University of Michigan to evaluate regional interest in a busi-ness incubation program.

All community members, especially entrepreneurs interested in business incuba-tion, are invited to an information session on

Friday, Aug. 26, from 1 to 3 p.m., in WSCCsAdministrative and Conference Building, for ashort presentation on business incubation anddiscussion of opportunities offered by the incu-bator being developed by the college.

A business incubation program is designedto accelerate the development of entrepreneur-ial firms through an array of business supportresources and services, developed and coor-dinated by the incubator management, deliv-ered by both incubator staff and its networks.Business incubation programs usually provideclient firms access to shared basic services,improved access to capital, and business man-agement training.

An incubation program is often paired witha multi-tenant facility with onsite management.It benefits client firms by providing flexiblespace, often with below market rent. In addi-tion, the proximity of multiple entrepreneurialfirms coupled with on-site management createsincreased opportunities to share knowledge,develop networks, and strengthen the regionaleconomic ecosystem.

To evaluate the need for a local businessincubator, the West Shore Incubator Initiativeis surveying entrepreneurs, small business own-ers, and students who are interested in beinginvolved with a regional incubator. These sur-veys will help assess the feasibility of an incuba-tor and determine the programmatic and facility resources an incubator should offer.

Anyone interested in the incubator initiative

is encouraged to contact project manager JulieVan Dyke at (231) 843-5903 or by e-mail [email protected].

The West Shore Incubator Initiative is sup-ported with a grant from the U.S. Departmentof Agriculture Office of Rural Development.WSCC and CBAIS are working with leadersfrom Mason County Growth Alliance, ManisteeAlliance for Economic Success, Lake County Economic Development Committee, OceanaCounty Economic Development Corporation,MSU Extension, MI-SBTDC, SCORE, and TheStarting Block, who provide insight and direc-tion on all project phases.

SPECIAL M I LESTON E

Courtesy PhotoThe Dennos Museum Center has housed many exhibits to promote the cultural needs of the area, as well as provid-ing wide-ranging musical performances and diverse programming in its 20 years.

Dennos Museum Center observes 20 years of service to the regionTRAVERSE CITY Twenty years

ago, on July 6, 1991, the ribbon was cutto open the Dennos Museum Center atNorthwestern Michigan College.

The evolution of what became theDennos Museum Center was a combi-nation of needs and vision: the collegehad constructed the fine arts buildingthat envisioned in phase II an art gal-lery and a concert hall on each of itsrespective wings. In the early 1980s ananalysis of community cultural needs by the Traverse Area Arts Council calledfor a gallery or formal exhibition space.These two needs eventually merged inthe efforts of a committee of college and

community representatives to realizethis for the Grand Traverse region.Mike and Barb Dennos, at the

encouragement of Paul Welch, thenchair of the NMC art department, pro- vided the funds to enable architect BobHoldeman to conceptualize what would

eventually become the Dennos MuseumCenter.

Shirley Okerstrom, as a collegetrustee, encouraged the NMC Trusteesto authorize a major fundraising effortheaded up by the NMC Foundation in1983. With the support of a thousanddonors, Rotary Charities and the Stateof Michigan, the funds to carry out thisproject were realized. This led to the hir-ing of museum director Gene Jennemanin 1988 opening of the museum in 1991.

Since the opening, hundreds of exhi- bitions and concerts have come throughthe facility to be shared by people mak-ing over a million visits for the wide

range of activities. Visitors walking through the frontdoor that first day encountered the work of the worlds most famous studio glassartist, Dale Chihuly; then on the 10thanniversary artifacts of ancient Egypt;and for the 20th anniversary the display

Bodies Human: Anatomy in Motion.In Milliken Auditorium, audiences

have enjoyed jazz, blues, classical and world music by performers of regional,national and international stature on a yearly basis.

The Dennos serves as the Traverseregions premier cultural center, offeringa diverse array of programming backedup by a growing art collection that hasmore than doubled in size to about2,000 works. This includes over 1,100catalogued works of Inuit Art, the muse-ums signature collection; a collectionthat gives the Dennos its internationalstature.

The Dennos Museum Center is opendaily 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., on Thursdaysuntil 8 p.m. and on Sundays 1 to 5 p.m.

Further information on the museumand its programs is available at the web-site www.dennosmuseum.org or by call-ing (231) 995-1055.

One-of-a-kind creation

FRANKFORT Each year theFrankfort-Elberta Area Chamber of Commerce sponsors a decorated fishand lighthouse project during thesummer. The chamber has availablefish and lighthouse cut-outs madeout of plywood that measure approxi-mately 3 feet available for purchase

at a nominal cost and donation back to the chamber.

The idea behind this activity is

for individuals, families, businessesand groups or organizations to makethe cut-outs into a one-of-a-kind cre-ation.

Once the project is completed they are returned to the chamber office by Sept. 1 so they can be displayed at thechamber office until Sept. 10, whenthey will be auctioned off during the

Taste of Benzie event, which is beingheld from 11:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m.in Mineral Springs Park in Frankfort.

This project is a fundraiser for thechamber to help cover the cost of var-ious activities the chamber sponsorsand coordinates throughout the year.

Anyone interested in participat-ing in this project should contact theFrankfort-Elberta Area Chamber of Commerce at (231) 352-7251 or stopin at 517 Main St., Frankfort.

MANISTEE Manistee High Schooldrama director Rod Oden has announcedthe cast for the musical Little Shop of Horrors, which will be performed in lateOctober in the MHS auditorium.

The cast will include Natalie Fisk asChiffon; LeAnna Engwall as Crystal; AshaJones as Ronnette; Savannah Hiipakkaas Mushnik; Abbie Finner as Audrey;Callahan DeCillis as Seymour; MichaelBond as Orin Scrivello DDS, Bernstein,Luce, Snip, Chinese Man, and Martin;and playing the denizens of skid row are Victoria Frechette, Bonnie Greene, Ashley Lindeman, exchange student AmandaDamgaard Nielsen and Lexie MarieRonning. MHS teacher Lee Gramza is aguest artist in the production as the voiceof the menacing and fun Audrey II.

Joining Oden on the production staff are Raquel Jackmond as vocal director andShannon Simoneau as choreographer.

Oden calls Little Shop of Horrors ahorribly funny production that promisesto leave audiences frightfully overjoyed.It is the story of a down-and out skid row

floral assistant who becomes an overnightsensation when he discovers an exoticplant with a mysterious craving for fresh blood. Soon Audrey II grows into an ill-tempered, foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore who offers him fame and fortune inexchange for feeding its growing appetite,finally revealing itself to be an alien crea-ture poised for global domination.

Little Shop of Horrors is one of thelongest-running off-Broadway shows of alltime. This affectionate spoof of 1950s sci-fi movies has become a household name,thanks to a highly successful film ver-sion and a score by the songwriting teamof Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, who also redefined the animated musicalfilm with Disneys The Little Mermaid,Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin.

Little Shop of Horrors will be stagedOct. 20, 21 and 22 at 7:30 p.m. and Oct.22 and 23 at 2 p.m. in the Manistee HighSchool Auditorium. Tickets can be pur-chased on-line at www.manisteehighdra-ma.com or by calling (231) 398-3687 andthey will be available at the door.

Courtesy PhoThe cast for the Manistee High School production of Little Shop of Horror includes, left to right, (front row) Victoria Frechette, Natalie Fisk, LeAnna EngwalBonnie Greene, Savannah Hiipakka, (back row) Michael Bond, Callahan DeCilliLee Gramza, Abbie Finner, Lexie Marie Ronning and Ashley Lindeman.
