LEGENDARY BROTHER RICE HEAD COACH AL FRACASSA LEAVES BEHIND AN EVERLASTING LEGACY BY SCOTT BENTLEY sbentley@candgnews.com
BLOOMFIELD HILLS — Longtime Brother Rice football coach and teacher Al Fracassa passed away on Sunday, Sept. 7, at 92 years old. Fracassa was on the sidelines for Brother Rice from 1969 until his retirement in 2013 where he amassed 386 wins. He also coached Royal Oak Shrine in the 1960s prior to taking over at Brother Rice, and his career mark of 430 wins as a head coach is the second most in the history of Michigan high school football. “He put Brother Rice on the map,” Brother Rice Director of Athletics Jeff Calcaterra said. “For the 50-some years that he’s been a part of this community, he’s mentored, taught and impacted so many men that have come to this school.” Fracassa’s list of accomplishments on the field might never be seen again. He retired with 21 Catholic High
School League titles and 10 state championships, along with producing hundreds of collegiate football players and 13 NFL players. “Coach took the time to get to know every one of the boys in his program,” Calcaterra said. “Coach spent time and wrote a handwritten letter to every one of his seniors for all the years that he coached. … He just had that gift to make people better.” The outpouring of love and support from the community is evidence of his impact. Services for Fracassa were held at the Brother Rice campus, and people from all over the country came to town to pay respects and offer support to his family. “The number of alumni that flew in … we had a ’77 alum fly in from Hawaii to be at his services,” Calcaterra said. “It says everything that you need to know.” Current Brother Rice head coach Aaron Marshall is in his second year coaching Brother Rice, but he’s been a See FRACASSA on page 5A

BY GREG TASKER NORTHERN MICHIGAN — Michigan’s growing wine scene is home to wineries of all different sizes and designs. There’s a Tuscan-style villa perched on a hill on Old Mission Peninsula. A Kentucky-style plantation on the Leelanau Peninsula. Modern industriallike structures here and there. And, of course, revamped houses and restored barns (even a chicken coop). But an Airstream trailer may be a first in Michigan. Outside Charlevoix, a restored 1973 Airstream serves as the summer tasting room for Blu Dot Farm and Vineyard. You can walk up to a window — the Airstream has been customized — and order a sampling of up to 10 wines or a glass of your choice. Grab a chair under an umbrella-topped table, while you sip a glass of Party Girl Sparkling and enjoy views of ripening grapes and a former horse farm next door. Blu Dot Farm and Vineyard is among the wineries belonging to the Petoskey Wine Region, home to about a dozen small, family-owned wineries growing wine grapes not far from the shores of Lake Michigan. Fall is an ideal time to visit the Petoskey Wine Region. Most of the wineries are located in rural patches outside small towns and surrounded by farmland turning golden brown. Swaths of woods color the landscape in fiery reds, oranges and yellows.

GLENLORE TRAILS ‘THE WITCHING HOUR’ LEAVES ATTENDEES SPELLBOUND BY CHARITY MEIER cmeier@candgnews.com
COMMERCE TOWNSHIP — “The Witching Hour” is close at hand, as Glenlore Trails, 3860 Newton Road, in Commerce Township, opened the attraction for the 2025 season on Sept. 25. The annual Halloween immersive light show is a product of the pandemic, started in 2020 by Scott and Chanel Schoeneberger, managing partners of Bluewater Technologies,
which operates the trails. The annual Halloween trail has a new theme each year that provides guests with a fun, interactive and nostalgic way of getting into the holiday spirit for the whole family. Chanel Schoeneberger said that they start brainstorming ideas for the theme in February and start installing the infrastructure in July. The theme this year is “The Witching Hour,” a concept they have never done before. She said her team fell in love with the idea. See GLENLORE TRAILS on page 6A

Birmingham’s unique burgers take the spotlight in October BY MARY GENSON mgenson@candgnews.com
BIRMINGHAM — People can indulge in unique local burgers all month long during BirminghamBURGER. Local restaurants will be vying for the title of Best Burger in downtown Birmingham Oct. 1-31. Participating restaurants have created signature burgers specifically for this event. The community’s role is to try the burgers and vote for their favorites based on presentation, creativity and taste. Voters can rate as many burgers as they want. Last year was the first year of BirminghamBURGER. This year, 20 businesses are participating, including Adachi, Bell Bistro, Birmingham Pub, Casa Pernoi, Elie’s Mediterranean Grill & Bar, Employee Meal, Hazel’s, La Strada Italian Kitchen & Bar, Luxe Bar & Grill, Market North End, Social, and STACKED LOGO HEX #FFFFFF many more. Prices vary by restaurant, starting at $15. Each business is featuring a new
and different burger than last year. “We had a huge level of interest, both from the community and restaurants last year. People were really excited about the unique flavor combinations and creativity of our local chefs, and it showed in the feedback that we received,” said Birmingham Shopping District Executive Director Erika Bassett. Some of the restaurants kept their limited-edition burger from last year’s competition on the menu. Overall, there were nearly 3,000 burger ratings across the three categories. “The event brings together our restaurants, each with their own culinary offerings and expertise, into a fun competition that pushes the boundaries of their traditional menus and encourages creativity,” Bassett said. “Each burger is unique, and most of them are not traditional burgers. There are non-beef options, special sauces, unexpected

part of the program for nearly his whole life. Marshall wants to honor Fracassa any way he can, and he wants to make sure the players never forget Fracassa’s impact. “I had the privilege of being coach’s ball boy in the ’91 season. I was 8 or 9 years old,” Marshall said. “His legacy will live on forever. … His formula I follow today.” Marshall explained that Fracassa wanted to build up young men in all aspects of their lives, and that if he did that, then football would take care of itself. Fracassa still attended as many home games as he could right up until his passing. He retired in 2013 but never left the program that he helped build. “We saw him week one, and he came to the game. It was very special. Me and him hugged each other and told each other that we loved each other, and I was so happy that he was able to join us,” Marshall said. “We want to make him proud.” Brother Rice has helmet stickers that the team is wearing for the remainder of the season with the legendary coach’s initials and date of his passing on them. In the first game after Fracassa’s death,
Marshall wanted to make sure that everyone on the team understood the magnitude of the moment. There were hundreds of alumni at the game, which was played the same day as the funeral, and Marshall encouraged his players to talk to those who had come to the game. “The boys, we attended the funeral and were kind of the honor guard,” Marshall said. “I said, ‘Look what you have to live up to. It’s not pressure; it’s responsibility.’... Seeing the great men who came before them that wore those jerseys, that was priceless.” Fracassa’s final game as the head coach for Brother Rice was the 2013 state championship game, which the team won. His legacy will be felt through the thousands of lives he touched in his more than 50-year career. Marshall stated that the team has dedicated this season to the legendary coach. “They didn’t talk about the records. There wasn’t much talk about the state championships. It was always talking about what he was as a father, a grandfather, a great-grandfather, a husband, a mentor, a teacher, a coach,” Calcaterra said. “Those Brother Rice Warriors that wear that helmet understand that why the program is as revered as it is and why the brand is so cherished is because of coach Fracassa.”

Glenlore Trails from page 3A
“This one was entirely different, “The Witching Hour,” and we all just immediately loved it,” Chanel Schoeneberger said. “Being in the woods, I feel like there’s got to be that, like, you know, enchanted but yet a little bit of spooky, but not frightening, and we had yet to do something with, like, witches and the witching hour. We’ve done fairies and the haunted forest. This was a new one for us, and we all loved it.” “The Witching Hour” experience begins as guests walk under a large digital sign with an image of a clock and the haunting theme on it. They then begin the 1-mile walk along an enchanted forest trail filled with eerie delights, such as witches, skeletons, pumpkins, coffins and more. Guests are treated not just to the spooky and fun decor, much of which is created just for the trails, but they can also partake in several interactive digital games along the way, enjoy a walk through a bubble tunnel, and even view their witchy side through a magic mirror. The mirror takes their picture and reveals their “true” self as a witch, warlock or sorcerer.
For added fun, guests can purchase magic wands, which allow them to create their own adventure as they go along the trail. The wands enable the user to choose the color, animal and sound that their spells will evoke when they cast them at various points marked with a “G” as they pass through the Witching Hour. “I loved that the exhibits were interactive. Like, you could wave your wand on something, you could pick a color, you could pick an animal,” said Jen Hazel, of Novi. “If I picked a wolf, it would howl. If I picked a spider, it would (make a noise resembling the spider walking on a surface). The wand did that. That was cool. Super different.” Dave Brown has brought his family from Sterling Heights to Glenlore Trails for the last five years, and for the last couple of years, they have come in costumes. “I’m here for the ambience, but they (his children) like the interactive stuff, I think,” he said. “I just like the ambience with all the lights everywhere,” agreed Brown’s wife, Tammy. “The games are always fun for the boys. They like competing.” “I like how I get to create my own (things by customizing the wand),” said

Alex Brown, 9. “I like the things you can take pictures with,” said Andy Brown, 6. Schoeneberger said it “warms my heart” to hear of families such as the Browns who have made Glenlore a holiday family tradition, and that is what makes it all worthwhile. “Honestly, what brings us back is just seeing this. Seeing the smile on people’s faces. It has become so many people’s family traditions. People look forward to it and that excites us and keeps us going for sure,” Schoeneberger said. Heather Harness, of Bay City, said she heard of the trails via Facebook and thought it would be something fun to do with her son, Ethan, who has autism. “He is on the spectrum. I think it was very sensory-friendly. It was really cool,” said Harness. “It was, like, sensory inclusive and worth the price point, very interactive.” Harness said it is sensory-friendly because there are no “jump scares” and everything is approachable by the child, and that they can choose whether or not to engage in the experience, as nothing is pushed on them. Ethan Harness, 10, said the trails were “fun” and his favorite part was the skeletons.
Schoeneberger said that she was glad to hear people consider it sensory-friendly and that they are considering doing a special sensory-friendly night in the future. “I loved it. I just think this was absolutely awesome,” Hazel said.“I didn’t know anything like this existed. It was so interactive and fun. I would totally do it again.” Hazel said that she had just found out about it when her friend asked her to go, and she is now going to make plans to bring her other friends to Glenlore Trails. Glenlore Trails also has several food and drink trucks positioned at the beginning, middle and end of the route. The trucks will vary depending on the day, but the food offerings will be updated on the trails website. Live bands will also be performing on select nights. The trails will be offering some special events, including an adult night for ages 21 and older on Oct. 10 and a trick or treat on Oct. 26. Glenlore Trails the Witching Hour will be open Thursday to Sunday nights through Nov. 2. Tickets cost $25 for adults, $20 for seniors and $15 for children ages 12 and younger. They can be purchased online at glenloretrails.com or at the gate.

SOUTHFIELD — Local Michigan artists are displaying their work in an exhibition in Southfield City Hall. The exhibition, titled “Matter & Metaphor Resonates,” showcases eight artists in the main lobby of City Hall, 26000 Evergreen Road. The exhibition opened with a reception Sept. 25. The show was hosted by the Southfield Public Arts Commission and Mayor Ken Siver. “We’ve been doing this for about three years of showcasing artists to give them a platform and a voice, but most importantly to let them know that we are in support of their art,” Southfield Public Arts Commission Chair Delores Flagg said. Flagg said the featured artwork and art in general act as connectors and connect one person to another person. “I felt that the art that was being shown spoke volumes,” she said. “I’m hoping that it made the people pause and reflect and feel something real about what the art was showing because, and I was sharing with some of the artists, I said, ‘You were allowing us to be a part of your experience, that experience, and we did through your creativity.’ And as a result, we realized that as an artist, a lot of emotion and creativity goes into their works, and to be able to express that and to have an audience feel something about their works speaks volumes.” The artwork featured in the exhibition was made by artists Nina Ashraf, M. Saffell Gardner, Cheryl Haithco, Micherlange

beauty through the butterfly.” “It’s about awareness,” he said. “Not just awareness of what’s around you, but of just, like, spiritual awareness.” For “Imma be the one,” Kimble said it’s about the power of individuality and how one person can make a difference. “It takes one to really make a change, like a domino effect,” he said. “The piece celebrates uniqueness, of just being yourself, being outside of the crowd, outside of what’s common. You’re just being your individual self. So, just celebrating the power of individuality, uniqueness and you know that it takes one to make a change, to cause change.” Being featured in art exhibitions like the one in Southfield and getting to showcase his work, Kimble explained, feels like a responsibility. “I feel like it’s a responsibility as an artist to be involved, to be proactive in the community and all sides of it,” he said. “So, not just producing the art, but also supporting the art community, supporting the artists as well. I think it’s just about being, I’m very proud to be a part of an art ecosystem. You know, a strong ecosystem is what matters to me. So in order to do so, I have to do my part and making sure that the legacy is carried forth, that conversations are still going on, art is still being shared. So, I feel like I’m a part of the ecosystem.” The exhibition will be ongoing in City Hall through Dec. 17. All pieces of art are available for purchase, excluding those marked not for sale.

ingredients and much more.” Last year, Adachi was the champion with its “Don’t Judge a Book by its Cover” burger. This year, their entry into BirminghamBURGER is titled “Oops I did it again.” “Our thought process is, you can’t just do a classic burger, right? It’s just got to be something no one’s ever had before,” said Adachi owner Blake George. Chef Eppie Connolly curated a custom dry-aged wagyu-blend burger on a homemade everything miso brioche bun, with chipotle cheddar and Asian-spiced braised tender pork belly; crispy brussels sprouts; Asianspiced braised, tender pork belly; pickled red onion; plum sauce aioli, yuzu mango chutney; and a Miyazaki tallow reduction. For color, it also has avocado and baby arugula. The burger is served with house chili oil and chili-parmesan fries. George notes that the pork belly is optional. “We want the neighborhood and the patrons to know we’re here and can do something special outside the norm,” George said. Another burger featured this month is the Au Poivre Burger at Social. This is a peppercorn-crusted ground ribeye with brandy cream sauce, gruyere, caramelized onion and arugula in between a toasted brioche bun. Social’s burger will be served cut in half, with the center of the burger resting on a bed of sauce. This way, some of the sauce can soak into the burger without making the bun soggy. “Anything that we can do to increase foot traffic in the shopping district is always a good thing,” Social Executive Chef Michael Shaw said.

Twenty percent of proceeds from the Blakes purchases will support animal conservation. Megan Gregg, senior events manager of the Detroit Zoo, said that the Zoo Boo has some additions to the displays this year. “This year’s Zoo Boo has some exciting new additions, including enhanced entertainment throughout the zoo footprint, new pumpkin displays and fresh fall-themed photo opportunities throughout the zoo,” she said. Each year, the event attracts thousands of families to the zoo. “Zoo Boo has become a beloved tradition for families across metro Detroit. It’s a festive way to celebrate Halloween and all things fall that brings the community together in a unique setting,” Gregg said. “Whether it’s families coming year after year or new families discovering it for the first time, there’s a sense of joy and nostalgia that makes it really special.”

The Zoo Boo is sponsored by Corewell Health Children’s, but the event does not raise money for the hospital. “Corewell Health Children’s is the presenting sponsor of Zoo Boo, and we are incredibly grateful for their support, which helps make this beloved family tradition possible,” said Sarah Culton, Detroit Zoological Society communications manager. “While Zoo Boo is full of Halloween fun, it’s also a celebration with purpose. Every ticket sold supports the Zoo, our mission and the animals and habitats we strive to protect at home and around the world.” Zoo Boo continues to cultivate an environment of excitement each year. “People should be excited about the magical atmosphere we have created this year. From the creatively decorated trick-or-treat trails to the live entertainment,” she said. “Whether you’re coming for the costumes, the doughnuts or just the fall fun, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.” Tickets for the Zoo Boo range from $21 to $25 and can only be purchased online at detroit zoo.org/events/zoo-boo. All ages 2 and older need a ticket. There are a few options for add-on activities like a dinner buffet for $23; cider and doughnuts for $8; and an attraction add-on that includes a 15-minute 4D film experience with 3D and special effects or a ride on the carousel for $3-$6.

Wine

Adding to seasonal fun are small farm markets and roadside stands loaded this time of year with pumpkins, apples, cider, donuts, and family-friendly activities. Both Pond Hill Farm and Bear Creek Organic Farm are worth checking out. Petoskey wine country is very different from the Traverse Wine Coast or the Lake Michigan Shore Wine Trail in the state’s southwestern corner. You’ll find mostly hybrid grapes among the Petoskey-area wineries — grapes like Marquette, Petite Pearl, Frontenac and La Crescent. Some wineries have had success growing more-commonlyknown grapes like Chardonnay and Riesling. As you might have guessed, the weather here is much colder in the winter. The distinctive climate and soil types contribute to the region’s designation as the Tip of the Mitt, a federally designated wine region that stretches from just south of Charlevoix to the Straits of Mackinac and east to Alpena. Blu Dot Farm and Vineyard is one of the newest wineries. The inspiration to renovate an Airstream into a tasting room came from the owners — Paul and Jennie Silva — wine travels. The couple became enamored of vineyards and winemaking after visiting Napa a few decades ago. Realizing a need for more Michigan wine grapes, they created their own winery. Their property used to be an old horse training and breeding facility. Many of the original barns, stables and tracks have been restored and are used today. The Airstream is open during the summer season — from May to October. Blu Dot is among the wineries producing Marquette. Developed to withstand brutal winters, Marquette is a long-distance cousin of Pinot Noir and often tastes fruity and earthy. Several years ago, Walloon Lake Winery’s Marquette won the Best Dry Red in the annual Michigan wine competition. Other notable Marquette producers include Mackinaw Trail Winery, Boyne Valley Vineyards and Crooked Vine Vineyard. Just south of Petoskey, Mackinaw Trail Winery is the largest winery in the region, offering a variety of red and white wines, craft beer and food. Some 15 acres are dedicated to growing cold-hardy varietals La Crescent and Frontenac Gris. Mackinaw Trail boasts some of the best representations of Marquette in Michigan. Currently, the winery is pouring its 202 Estate Marquette, barrel aged for 18 months,
and described as a “true Up North Wine. Winermakers here are as passionate about their craft as winemakers anywhere. Chances are, you’ll run into the owner or winemaker (sometimes one and the same) behind the tasting room bar or out in the vineyard. That was the case at one of the region’s newest wineries: Folklor Wine & Cider, a boutique winery located off the beaten path south of Charlevoix. The husband-and-wife team of Derrick Vogel and Izabela Babinska were behind the bar at Folklor on the afternoon I visited. Vogel is the winemaker and Babinska is business manager. Both tend the grapes. They describe themselves as “Northern Michigan enthusiasts, lake swimmers and dry Riesling devotees.” Once a u-pick apple and cherry orchard, Folklor Wine & Cider is the couple’s wine dream. They began growing wine grapes here in 2021, planting vineyards on about two acres of the 52-acre farm. More vines were planted the following year. “We want our wines to reflect the season and the place,” Vogel tells me, noting he is stepping outside some of the boundaries of traditional winemaking. Between the vines, for example, nature is taking its course wth grasses, plants and flowers blanketing the rows. He uses native yeast in fermentation and sprays no herbicides or insecticide on his grapes. “We felt the freedom to let these grapes speak for themselves.” In the tasting room, you can sample “the season and place” in a variety of Rieslings, as well the red blends and ciders. I especially enjoyed Folklor’s 2023 Lake Swimmer, a blend of Blaufrankisch, Cabernet Franc and a bit of Zweigelt, which is grown on the farm. Lower in alcohol, this red blend was lighter and refreshing, especially on a warm fall day. The winery’s name is the Polish spelling of folklore (Babinska is a Polish immigrant) and is the name for Polish folk art. The name celebrates more than Polish folk art, the owners say; it’s a connection between wine and storytelling. And that’s part of the experience at Folklor — learning the stories of how this couple came to plant their roots in Northern Michigan, their efforts to grow grapes in a challenging environment and the way they’re making their wine. But I’ll let them share those stories with you when you visit. Greg Tasker is a Traverse City-based freelance writer.
