The Dennos Museum Center at Northwestern Michigan College will host two significant exhibitions that take their origins from the northern Michigan landscape. They will be on view from October 13 – January 5, 2014. The two exhibitions are:
Shine On: Photographs of Northwest Michigan by Gregory D. Seman
This exhibition features new work and selected works from the collection of the Dennos Museum Center by photographic artist Greg Seman, and is presented in association with the publication of his monograph, Shine On – Northwestern Michigan Region, A Portfolio of Photographs by Gregory D. Seman cataloging many of the works in this exhibition. Seman’s black and white photographs are at once beautifully rendered, intimate portraits and haunting documentaries of the Northwest Michigan landscape. Shine On will be available for purchase in the museum store.
Born and raised in Flint, Michigan in 1959, Traverse City became Greg Seman’s adopted hometown in 1990. Greg’s lifelong fascination of black and white photography began in junior high school, when he taught himself to develop film and contact print; a passion that has continued to this day. He now photographs with 4×5 and 8×10 inch film cameras, exposing and developing each sheet of film individually, and printing the black and white negative himself on silver gelatin paper in the darkroom. Living in the northern Michigan region has been essential to his body of work; observing the shoreline transition from season to season and photographing on his daily commute or lunch hour, witnessing moments of dramatic change. Evenings allow for a time of exploration and becoming intimate with areas on the coast of Lake Michigan.
Greg has studied photography at Rochester Institute of Technology and with photographers, Howard Bond and John Sexton. Greg’s work is represented by photography dealer, Tom Halsted, and has been exhibited and held in the permanent collections of the Dennos Museum Center, Kalamazoo Institute of Arts, University of Michigan Museum of Art, and the Toledo Institute of Arts.
Art of the Sleeping Bear Dunes: Transforming Nature into Art
Art of the Sleeping Bear Dunes: Transforming Nature into Art brings together over 100 local and regional artists presenting their interpretations of one of the most beautiful places in America. The exhibition coincides with the publication of the book Art of the Sleeping Bear Dunes: Transforming Nature into Art by Leelanau Press, cataloging the work shown in the exhibition. Edited by Linda Young, the book includes essays by Jerry Dennis and Kathleen Stocking and was designed by Angela Saxon.
The book is underwritten by Arts Tavern, Cherry Republic, and Cottage Book Shop. It will be available for purchase in the museum store.
The publication and exhibition celebrate the remarkable beauty of this unique northern Michigan gem. Drawn for decades to the majestic beauty and ever-changing landscape of the Sleeping Bear Dunes, artists have long been inspired to interpret the diversity and vastness of this region—towering dunes, clear waters, pristine forests, historic farmlands and meandering trails—all found within the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore’s boundaries. Artists were invited to share their interpretations of this special environment by submitting entries for inclusion in both the exhibit and the publication.
The works included in the exhibition and publication were selected by Mary McNichols, professor of Art History at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit and EW Ross, retired program director for Ox-Bow School of Art in Saugatuck and former Dean of Continuing Studies at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
The Leelanau Press, a nonprofit publishing company, was established by Barbara and Frank Siepker and Suzanne Wilson. Run by a volunteer staff and working with local graphic designers and editors, its sole purpose is to publish books on Leelanau County subjects, writers and artists.
Reception and Program for Invited Artists and Guests, and Museum Members
There will be a preview reception for invited artists and guests, and museum members on Saturday October 12 at 7:00 PM at the Dennos Museum Center with a program at 8:00 PM in Milliken Auditorium. The program will include a reading of The Legend of Sleeping Bear by Mary Anne Rivers followed by a panel discussion, At the Intersection of Art & Nature, with photographer Greg Seman, Linda Young, former president of the Glen Arbor Art Association, and Tom Ulrich, Deputy Superintendent of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.
A book signing for Art of the Sleeping Bear Dunes: Transforming Nature into Art and Shine On will follow the program.
Educational Programming
The Dennos Museum Center’s Education department will be presenting a series of educational programs in association with these two exhibitions. For more information contact Jason Dake at 231-995-1029 or Jdake@nmc.edu.
Exhibitions at the Dennos Museum Center are supported in part by grants from the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts. Local support comes from the Robert T and Ruth Haidt Hughes Memorial Endowment Fund, TV 7&4 and WCMU Public Broadcasting.

Effective October 31, 2013, a 2.75% convenience fee (minimum fee $3.00) will apply to all payments made by credit card for NMC tuition, fees, and other student account charges related to academic courses.
Students: If your parents or others are authorized to pay on your account, please forward this important information to them.
These changes are being made to provide better security of personal information, provide more efficient processing of student refunds, and lower NMC’s cost of credit card transactions. (The high cost of credit card processing leads to higher tuition increases for all students. The convenience fee will only be paid by those who choose to pay by credit card, rather than being included in tuition for all students. )
Credit card payments for these charges are only processed through NMC Self-Service – www.nmc.edu/selfservice/. Visa, MasterCard, Discover (including JCB, Diners Pay & China Union Network), and now American Express will be accepted.
Please visit the Convenience Fee Information page on the NMC website for additional information regarding these changes to credit card payments.
You can avoid paying the 2.75% convenience fee by paying on NMC Self-Service with an e-check (bank transfer from checking or savings account) or with a debit card. Debit card payments must be entered in the debit card menu option to avoid the fee. Payments by cash, check, or money order can be made in person at Student Financial Services (Tanis Building, main level), and checks and money orders can be mailed to Northwestern Michigan College, Student Financial Services, 1701 East Front Street, Traverse City, MI 49686.
These changes are only on the student account payments as described above and will NOT affect any other transactions on our campuses where credit cards are accepted.

Autumn days may be shorter, but they bring expanding solar energy education opportunities at NMC.
This October, NMC is bundling solar energy education classes, offering four progressive courses that provide the training participants need to obtain nationally-recognized industry credentials and enter the expanding solar workforce.
Participants with prior electrical experience will find it beneficial, but the courses aren’t only for electricians. Sales and installation are the fastest-growing niches in the solar industry.
“Come in, get the training, get out and get working,” said Bill Queen, energy programs specialist at NMC, which has offered solar training since 2006.
Programs include:
-
Midwest Renewable Energy Program Solar Site Assessment Certificate, Oct. 10-11
-
North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioner (NABCEP) Entry Level Exam Preparation, Oct. 28-Nov. 1
The Solar Site Assessment program requires one to two courses depending on prior level of experience and training.
The NABCEP entry level exam assures employers that a student has specific knowledge and skill required for entry level solar industry work. The 40-hour, one-week intensive preparation course provides a broad overview of the solar industry, markets, technical equipment, operation, site assessment, systems, and much more. The exam is offered on the Saturday following the course.
Students who already have entry level knowledge and experience may be interested in new Solar Design and Installation training, Oct. 14-18. Participants will gain system design installation experience while working on battery charging and grid connected systems in the lab.
This course utilizes NMC’s newest 3.8 KW grid connected solar array, which will be dismantled and reassembled as part of the course. Upon completion students will receive 32 hours of credit toward the advance training requirements for NABCEP installer certification exam.
For more information and to register, visit www.nmc.edu/energy or call the NMC Extended Education office at 231- 995-1701.

Joseph R. Sanok’s new book, Mental Wellness Parenting: A Remarkably Simple Approach to Making Parenting Easier is now available in paperback. Here are some of the comments about the book:
“Joseph’s book is invaluable! The book covers common parenting concerns without bogging you down with lengthy case examples and it delivers simple techniques parents can use, it gets to the point and gives parents quick summaries that they can return to as they practice the skills!!”
MERCEDES STANLEY, MSW, Family Therapist/Coach, Founder, The Parenting Skill
“Joe has taken the complicated task of navigating through parenthood and simplified it with practical ideas and simple approaches. It’s a great quick read and easy enough for anyone to follow. As an added bonus, you will also get some great articles that he has written on other topics.”
JENNA FLEMING, School Counselor, Mom, and Founder of LiveWell North Austin
“No one teaches us how to be parents. As a counselor and a parent, I’ve read tons of parenting books. This one is by far, the simplest, and easiest to understand and implement. Mental Wellness Parenting just makes sense. It’s like having Joe as your own personal parenting coach. I really felt like I could take this information and apply it right away in my own home and with all my clients who are in search of parenting help.”

The Dennos Museum Center at Northwestern Michigan College will present the return of The Golden Dragon Acrobats from China on Friday, October 4, 2013 at 8 PM in Milliken Auditorium. Tickets are $25 in advance, $28 at the door, $22 for Museum Members plus a $2 processing fee. Tickets may be purchased by calling the Museum Box office at 231-995-1553 or on line at www.dennosmuseum.org. Also at www.MyNorthTickets.com or 1-800-836-0717.
The ancient art of Chinese acrobatics has developed as one of the most popular art forms among the Chinese people, one that has evolved into many forms of performance – including dance, opera, martial arts and sports. The impact of Chinese acrobatics, however, goes far beyond the boundaries of performance, and serves an important role in the cultural exchange between China and Western nations.
The Golden Dragon Acrobats represent the best of a time honored tradition that began more than 25 centuries ago, and are recognized throughout the United States and abroad as the premier Chinese acrobatic touring company of today.
The reputation of The Golden Dragon Acrobats is solidly rooted in their attention to artistic details that are unparalleled in the art form. By combining award-winning acrobatics, theatrical techniques and traditional dance with spectacular costumes, the Golden Dragon Acrobats present a show of breathtaking skill and spellbinding beauty.
“We are very excited to have the Golden Dragon Acrobats return” says Gene Jenneman, Museum Director. ”There are still foot prints on the acoustical ceiling panels of Milliken Auditorium from their first performance here and last year’s show had everyone’s heart stopped over the amazing “tower of chairs” act. I have seen numerous Chinese acrobatic acts at the Performing Arts Fair in Guangzhou, China. This group matches the quality and performing capacity of any acrobatic group I saw there.”
This concert season is made possible at the Dennos Museum Center with support from the Begonia Foundation, the Robert T and Ruth Haidt Trust, and the Osterlin Performance Endowment with media support from WNMC 90.7 and TV 29&8. Housing for the performers is provided by the Cambria Suites and Country Inn.
The Dennos Museum Center is open daily 10 AM to 5 PM, Thursday’s until 8 PM and Sundays 1-5 PM. For more information on the Museum and its programs, go to www.dennosmuseum.org or call 231-995-1055.

The Graduates/Los Graduados (2013) – The Graduates/Los Graduados, a new documentary from filmmaker Bernardo Ruiz, explores the many roots of the Latino dropout crisis through the eyes of six inspiring young students from across the United States who are part of an on-going effort to increase graduation rates for a growing Latino population. Much more than a survey of contemporary policy debates, the student profiles in The Graduates offer a first-hand perspective on the challenges facing many Latino high school students, including over-crowded schools, crime-ridden neighborhoods, , teen pregnancy, and pressure to contribute to the family finances. The Graduates/Los Graduados is an eye-opening introduction to many of the determined and resilient young people who will shape America’s future.

The State of Arizona (2013) – This vérité documentary captures the explosive emotions and complex realities behind Arizona’s headline-grabbing struggle with illegal immigration. Tracking the year after Arizona passes SB1070, its controversial “papers please” law, the film tells the stories of Arizonans on all sides of this divisive issue and depicts a state and its people testing the edges of our democratic values.

Thursday, February 6, 2014 – 7pm
Las Marthas (2014) – Las Marthas is a documentary about an extraordinary rite of passage in Laredo, Texas where Mexican-American debutantes are presented at a grand Colonial ball dressed as American revolutionaries – a border tradition that’s 114 years old.
Thursday, March 6, 2014 – 7pm
The Trials of Muhammed Ali (2013) – The Trials of Muhammad Ali is a feature-length documentary film covering Ali’s toughest bout, his battle to overturn the five-year prison sentence he received for refusing U.S. military service. This is not a boxing film. It is a fight film tracing a formative period in Ali’s life, one that is remarkably unknown to young people today and tragically neglected by those who remember him as a boxer, but overlook how controversial he was when he first took center stage.
Thursday, April 3, 2014 – 7pm
Medora (2013) – Medora follows the down-but-not-out Medora Hornets varsity basketball team over the course of the 2011 season, capturing the players’ stories both on and off the court. The Hornets were riding a brutal losing streak when we arrived, and the team’s struggle to compete bears eerie resonances with the town’s fight for survival.
Thursday, May 1, 2014 – 7pm
The New Black (2013) – The New Black is a documentary that tells the story of how the African-American community is grappling with the gay rights issue in light of the recent gay marriage movement and the fight over civil rights. The film documents activists, families and clergy on both sides of the campaign to legalize gay marriage and examines homophobia in the black community’s institutional pillar—the black church and reveals the Christian right wing’s strategy of exploiting this phenomenon in order to pursue an anti-gay political agenda.

After a 0-0 first half, CU scored on a long range shot early in the second half. NMC had goal scoring opportunities by Paul Bump, Charlie Needham, and Justin Jensen, but it was Marco Martinez’s shot that almost tied the game with less then 10 minutes remaining. The shot hit the inside of the post and deflected in front of the goal, but never crossed the goal line. NMC played a solid defensive rotation with JJ Briethaupt, Alec Altonen, Dan Parish, Zac Squires, Logan Pachesny, Cole DeMouplied and Dan Parish. Mitch Gribi was in goal for NMC.
Next match is September 22nd at Northwood University Reserves in Midland, Michigan.
