TRAVERSE CITY — Northwestern Michigan College students are leading an effort to fill local food pantries before the holiday season. The business communications students are working with the Northwest Food Coalition (NWFC) for the fifth annual Food for Thought food drive October 18- November 18.
The NWFC identifies 22% percent of families in the five-county region as being food insecure, or lacking reliable access to a sufficient quantity of affordable, nutritious food. The group serves more than 500,000 meals a year to address that need. The Food for Thought Food Drive is a semester long experiential learning project that collects donations on behalf of the coalition, and enhances students’ professional communication skills.
For the first time, students will also collect food for a new NMC Food Bank. NMC staff and students created the pantry after noting an increase in food insecurity among students. The Minus 5 Project identifies that in a class of 40 students, as many as 5 could be food insecure.
Community members can help by donating non-perishable food and personal hygiene items in Food for Thought collection barrels at the following NMC locations October 18- November 18:
- Main Campus: Osterlin Library, West Hall and the Health and Science Building
- Aero Park Campus: Parsons-Stulen Building
- University Center Campus
Tom’s Food Markets will be accepting donations from 11 a.m.- 4 p.m., October 21- 22 at its East Bay, West Bay Interlochen and 14th Street locations. The public is invited to bring donations to the S.T.E.M. Exploration Day at NMC’s Parsons-Stulen Building 11 a.m.–3 p.m., November 18. The community can also make financial donations to support the pantries at any of the events or on the NMC Foundation website.
Anyone who donates at least 5 items or $5 will be entered into a raffle for prizes donated by local businesses.
Release date: October 17, 2017

NMC welding students Andrew DuBois and Michael StolarczykSome NMC welding students are getting a dose of American history on top of this semester’s classes.
They’re helping to restore Civil War markers placed on the graves of Union Army veterans in northern Michigan cemeteries. Thanks to an instructor’s idea, the extracurricular project is increasing their skills and their citizenship, one cast iron star at a time.
Adjunct electrical instructor Jeff Morse is a member of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, a national group that works to honor the memory of the soldiers killed between 1861-65. A feature of the Union graves the group charges itself with maintaining is a cast iron star flagholder, inserted into the ground with double spikes.
A Civil War marker repaired by NMC welding students“Over the years they became no match to power lawn mowers and brutal northern Michigan winters. Many markers became rusty and either one or both of the spikes had been broken off,” Morse said.
He mentioned it to welding instructor Devan DePauw, who agreed to take on repair as an extracurricular project with student volunteers. Students cut off the double legs, grind and prepare the stars for welding, and then weld one spike in a new, center position.
It’s an opportunity to learn new techniques from the typical steel-to-steel welding they do in class.
“Cast iron is notoriously difficult to weld,” DePauw said. Students are learning a “brazing” technique that uses a bronze filler to weld the spike back on.
It’s also an opportunity to apply their knowledge for a greater good.
“I like doing stuff that matters. This epitomizes that,” said Michael Stolarczyk, 18, of Traverse City.
“I just think it’s a good cause,” said Andrew DuBois, 28, of Flint.
Group member Scott Schwander, who has been cleaning the headstones as well, returns the repaired star flagholders to the graves. He started with Oakwood Cemetery near main campus, where about 300 Union veterans are buried. The Robert Finch Camp of which both Schwander and Morse are members serves 16 northern Michigan counties and estimates that more than 1,000 Union veterans are buried in the five-county Grand Traverse region.
Camp commander Ted Matti, sees the project as a win–win.
“Being they’re in a welding program, they have to work with various kinds of metal,” he said. “Any time you can get involved with anything in the community of historic significance, or helping others, that’s all part of being a citizen in the community, and that’s a good lesson, too.”

Please plan to attend a fiction reading by Traverse City native Stephanie Carpenter, whose short story collection won the 2017 Press 53 Award for Short Fiction and will be published this month.
Carpenter will read from her new book, “Missing Persons” Oct. 13 at Dutmers Theater in the Dennos Museum from 5:30-6:30 p.m., with light refreshments to follow.
Carpenter teaches literature and creative writing at Michigan Tech. Author George Saunders wrote a blurb for her book, Missing Persons, in which he described the collection as, “Inventive, magical, compelling, and strange in just the way life and people are strange. Stephanie Carpenter is a rare and wonderful talent.”

NMC’s Student Veterans of America (SVA) Chapter and Citizens’ Climate Lobby (CCL), a non-partisan, non-profit grassroots organization working to pass federal legislation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, is partnering with the International Affairs Forum to present a screening of the documentary, The Age of Consequences, about the national security risks of a changing climate. It has just been confirmed for October 25, 6:30 p.m. at Milliken Auditorium. It will be followed by a panel discussion featuring Major General Michael Stone of the Michigan National Guard and Major General Michael Lehnert USMC (ret.) who is an SVA board member living in our area now.
Many people aren’t aware of the broad consensus among national security experts and our military leaders that climate change is a threat multiplier that will put our armed service members at increasing risk. Secretary of Defense Mattis said “I agree that the effects of a changing climate — such as increased maritime access to the Arctic, rising sea levels, desertification, among others — impact our security situation. I will ensure that the department continues to be prepared to conduct operations today and in the future, and that we are prepared to address the effects of a changing climate on our threat assessments, resources, and readiness.”
Finally, the CCL’s work has had great success building support for climate solutions in Congress because they approach every congressional office from a place of appreciation and respect. In fact, our own Congressman, Lt. Gen. Jack Bergman, just announced that he joined the bipartisan House Climate Solutions Caucus. You can read here about how the local CCL chapter involved Traverse City Central high school students in that effort.
