November 17, 2019 page 6 Mackinaw News by Sandy Planisek Enbridge - The Good Side We all have heard the risk posed by Enbridge in the Straits of Mackinac. And last week we heard the dire report submitted to the state’s Attorney General Office. But there are always two sides to any story. The other side of the Enbridge story is in the taxes and gifts the company is leaving in Mackinaw City. The report last week noted that Enbridge makes about a 10% profit. Out of the other 90%, the cost of doing its business, a big cost is taxes. Because Wawatam Township houses the pumping station on this side of the Straits, it collects nearly three-quarters of a million tax dollars. These go into assorted accounts. Here is the breakdown. Notice that the school is a major beneficiary and without these tax dollars the school would struggle financially. The village itself does not receive a significant amount because most of Enbridge’s property falls outside of the village limits. A $500 million tunnel could conceivably increase these tax revenues. Total 2019 taxes paid by Enbridge in Wawatam Twp. - $703,229 Mackinaw City School $349,410 (This represents 14% of the school budget.) Wawatam Township $37,854 Township fire millage to Mackinaw City’s fire dept. $9,463 Village of Mackinaw City $6,005 Other $306,501 (for ISD, Senior Center, Emmet County, Ambulance/EMS, North Central Community College, State Ed) Enbridge has also provided other benefits to the town. Our school students had a chance to tour their facilities and learn about the operation and job opportunities during October Engineering Month. The police and fire department have received several grants from Enbridge and other organizations. There will be an article on this next week. Enbridge has joined our Chamber of Commerce as a Premier Member and has been one of the sponsors of the Coachie Classic Softball Tournament, Mighty Mac Golf Outing, Corvette Crossroads Auto Show, Fall Into Mackinaw festivities, and Community Excellence Awards Dinner They have helped at every event since their membership began. Also, to note: Enbridge’s Sr. Community Engagement Specialist Emma Cook has been an active volunteer at Chamber events, and attends most functions. She is a new resident of Mackinaw City. State News Michigan drivers will be given a new choice in their car insurance. Because of legislation passed and an attempt to lower insurance prices, policy owners can choose, beginning July 2, 2020, their level of personal injury protection. You can keep unlimited lifetime medical coverage, reduce the level of medical coverage you carry, or not carry any personal injury protection at all. The fee for this coverage is set by a group of insurance companies that provide the service. They just announced that the cost for reduced coverage will be 55% lower than full coverage and there will be no cost if you select to have no personal injury coverage. Of course, this does not guarantee that your total insurance bill will drop. Both the Senate and the House introduced bills to regulate Amish buggies. Two crashes of cars into buggies, each killing three children, have renewed interest in a topic that, although discussed before, has never gone far in the legislature. One bill would require the registration of buggies, another would require headlights and taillights. Another bill, not concerned with driver safety, would require buggies to have rubber-type tires because steel wheels and steel horseshoes produce excessive wear on roads. “Voters will have 22 candidates – 18 Democrats and four Republicans – to select from during the state’s March 10 presidential primary, including the newest Democratic candidate former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.” Gongwer News (now not the latest candidate) page 6 November 17, 2019 page 7 Mackinaw News by Sandy Planisek Want to Hike Safely?

  • Multiphonics of the Grand Piano – Timbral Composition and Performance with Flageolets
    Multiphonics of the Grand Piano – Timbral Composition and Performance with Flageolets Juhani VESIKKALA Written work, Composition MA Department of Classical Music Sibelius Academy / University of the Arts, Helsinki 2016 SIBELIUS-ACADEMY Abstract Kirjallinen työ Title Number of pages Multiphonics of the Grand Piano - Timbral Composition and Performance with Flageolets 86 + appendices Author(s) Term Juhani Topias VESIKKALA Spring 2016 Degree programme Study Line Sävellys ja musiikinteoria Department Klassisen musiikin osasto Abstract The aim of my study is to enable a broader knowledge and compositional use of the piano multiphonics in current music. This corpus of text will benefit pianists and composers alike, and it provides the answers to the questions "what is a piano multiphonic", "what does a multiphonic sound like," and "how to notate a multiphonic sound". New terminology will be defined and inaccuracies in existing terminology will be dealt with. The multiphonic "mode of playing" will be separated from "playing technique" and from flageolets. Moreover, multiphonics in the repertoire are compared from the aspects of composition and notation, and the portability of multiphonics to the sounds of other instruments or to other mobile playing modes of the manipulated grand piano are examined. Composers tend to use multiphonics in a different manner, making for differing notational choices. This study examines notational choices and proposes a notation suitable for most situations, and notates the most commonly produceable multiphonic chords. The existence of piano multiphonics will be verified mathematically, supported by acoustic recordings and camera measurements. In my work, the correspondence of FFT analysis and hearing will be touched on, and by virtue of audio excerpts I offer ways to improve as a listener of multiphonics.

  • Creating Adaptive Technology to Play the Piano
    Creating adaptive technology to play the piano Final Report December 12, 2012 Team Members Taylor Lamberty Myranda Schmitt Jolene Enge Nyna Choi Client Vicki Janisch Mary Advisor Dr. Willis Tompkins Abstract AgrAbility of Wisconsin (AAW) supports Wisconsin farmers and their families by accommodating disability in agriculture and promoting disability awareness [1]. Our client is Vicki Janisch who is an outreach coordinator for AAW. Her long time client is Mary, a Wisconsin farmer who has rheumatoid arthritis and as a result has had a below-the-knee amputation of her right leg in addition to bilateral knee replacements and left ankle fusion. Mary’s passion is playing the piano. Both of her ankles have little to no flexion, which prevents her from using the damper pedal that is necessary to create a rich, full sound. Some current adaptive devices exist, but are not ideally suited to our client’s greatest need of portability. Our device features a simple design that utilizes a wedge to actuate the pedal. Through modification, we were ultimately able to achieve a compact, low profile, lightweight device that is portable and is easy to use. 2 Table of Contents Abstract 2 Background Client Description 4 Current Devices 4 Problem Motivation 5 Design Requirements 6 Design Alternatives 7 Wedge & Lever System 7 Free Weight and Pulley System 9 Translating System 9 Gliding Platform and Wedge System 10 Design Matrix 10 Design Matrix Criteria 12 Effectiveness 12 Patient Comfort 12 Portability 12 Safety 12 Durability 13 Final Design 13 Force Analysis 14 Testing 14 Cost 15 Future Work 16 Timeline 16 References 18 Appendix 19 3 Background Client Description Our client is Vicki Janisch, an Outreach Specialist for AgrAbility of Wisconsin (AAW).

  • Games, Ghosts, and Glamour
    Games, Ghosts, and Glamour: The Player Piano in Domestic America, 1890-1930 Devanney Haruta An honors thesis for the Brown University Music Department November 29, 2016 Primary Reader: Dana Gooley Secondary Readers: Anne Searcy, Joshua Tucker 1 PRELUDE Keyboards are all around us, on our cell phones and laptops, mediating our writing, our correspondence, our digital expression, and accompanying our communication with audible punctuations of sound. Alphanumeric keys read digital input and produce sound in digital and mechanical output. The player piano, a mechanical musical instrument from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, utilized a similar keyboard interface. With its humming pneumatics and predetermined sequence of musical pitches, the instrument can teach us about our modern interactions with technologies that produce sound both within and outside of our immediate control. How we interact with both modern digital and historic instrument technologies reveals the importance of physical objects in our lives, and can even teach us about our modes of interaction as well as about ourselves as humans. The player piano is an instrument that became commercially widespread across the United States in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The instrument walks a hazy boundary between interactive musical interface and independently controlled music player, simultaneously reinforcing and challenging the piano’s established identity in the American domestic space. The player piano is an intriguing historical object, but what is its relevance to contemporary musicology? Understanding the player piano’s identity as a musical interface, a body of control, and a cultural symbol sheds light on modern musicology, organology, and technology studies.

  • Piano Pedals
    Piano Pedals The right pedal is called the damper or sustain pedal. It releases the dampers from the strings and allows a tone or multiple tones to be sustained. This is one function. The other is the fact that it opens harmonic string resonance. A chord for example played with the sustain pedal down sounds fuller since related strings also vibrate slightly even when not activated by a hammer. For composing the following symbols are used: pedal down. pedal off. Sometimes horizontal brackets are used. Since the piano was invented around 1700 by Bartolomeo Cristofori the instrument at that time did not have pedals. The first damper pedal was introduced in 1777. This explains why composer such as Bach and Mozart did not have any pedal notation in their piano scores. As a composer and pianist, Beethoven experimented extensively with pedal. His first marking to indicate use of a pedal in a score was in his first two piano concertos, in 1795. The Soft Pedal is the pedal on the left side, and it’s also called the una corda ( one string) pedal. This pedal changes the tone of the piano to a slightly softer sound. Normally, when you play a piano key, the hammer strikes three strings for each given pitch in the middle and upper section of the keyboard. Depressing the soft pedal causes the keys and hammers to shift slightly to the right, allowing the hammer to reach only one or two strings. This is true for the grand piano. Most upright pianos use another technology. They move the hammers slightly forward so the travel distance to the strings is shorter.
