paragraph: Charles E. Huber

paragraph: Charles Edward Huber ( 1845–1904) was from a well-known family in Los Angeles, California, at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries and served on the city's governing body, the Common Council, between 1873 and 1875. Near the end of his life he was engaged in several court cases and was sent to a state hospital for the mentally ill.

paragraph: Section::::Personal.

paragraph: Section::::Personal.:Family.

paragraph: Huber was born about 1845, the son of Joseph and Apolonia Huber. He had two brothers, Charles Edward Huber and Joseph Huber, and two sisters— Emeline (Mrs. Ozro W.) Childs and Mary Louisa Fisher.

paragraph: A widower, Huber had two daughters—Mary Louisa (Lulu) Huber (Fisher) and Gertie Huber. The family lived at 830 South Broadway.

paragraph: Section::::Personal.:Vocation.

paragraph: He was at one time a deputy sheriff and later was in real estate, including being an agent for several downtown buildings.

paragraph: Section::::Personal.:Legal problems.

paragraph: Beginning in 1900 Huber's name was in the newspapers several times in connection with his mental condition or with the results of his actions.

paragraph: He appeared at a Police Commission meeting and threatened to "blow out the brains" of police officers who, he said, were "interfering" with some of the tenants of Chinatown property that he controlled. In November 1900 he went to the home of his sister, Emeline Childs, at 11th and Main streets, seeking the "return" of $1,000 he said she owed him, smashed the glass panels of the front door and all the windows on the front of the house and threatened a butler with a double-barreled shotgun. An insanity complaint was filed against him by Emeline's son-in-law, Frank S. Hicks, and, after a standoff at Huber's house, with Huber again holding the shotgun and threatening the police, he was arrested. In a hearing on November 12, 1900, two doctors testified that he was sane. He was sent to the County Hospital, but after two weeks he was discharged from custody.

paragraph: In April 1901, Huber sued Emeline Childs and Frank Hicks for $20,000 in damages because, Huber claimed, "the defendants, actuated through personal spite and malice toward him, falsely and unreasonably accused him of being an insane person."

paragraph: The next month, Huber, who was collecting rents from tenants, was arrested in Ferguson Alley, Chinatown, when he remonstrated with a police officer who had been ripping up lottery tickets that the officer had discovered in "some of the Chinese houses there" and, Huber said, threw the fragments in his face. It was said that Huber then threatened to "blow the policeman's head off."

paragraph: Upon being tried on June 7, 1901, for disturbing the peace, Huber was found innocent after a juror asked the judge, "Has an officer the right to enter a house this way without a search warrant?" Judge Morgan responded: "[E]very person has a right to defend his constitutional rights."

paragraph: The decision led the "Times" to add::

paragraph: For many years it has been the idea of most white people that the Chinese have no particular rights in their houses, and that the first and foremost function of Chinatown is to amuse the dominant race. People go ambling through the establishments of Chinatown without bothering to offer excuses, fingering and pointing and remarking. The policemen invade the whole rookery, from top to bottom at pleasure.

paragraph: In August 1901 Huber filed suit against Police Chief Charles Elton, alleging malicious prosecution and false imprisonment.

paragraph: Huber was again arrested in June 1902 after he became "very wild" on a train from San Francisco to Los Angeles and "with his threats kept everybody in a constant state of apprehension." He claimed to have purchased the Palace Hotel, the Russ House and the "San Francisco Chronicle". Officers met the train in Los Angeles and took Huber to the County Hospital.

paragraph: During the next months, Huber's mental condition grew worse, and, as the "Los Angeles Times" put it, he was "reduced to a pitiable plight." The newspaper continued;

paragraph: He fancies that he has $20,000,000, and goes around to all his friends promising them gifts of small fortunes and asking them to give up work and accept a salary from him. On the night of May 30 he was found on Spring Street by a policeman holding to two little flower girls to whom he wanted to give $20 apiece. They were frightened and crying. . . . Shortly after that he went to San Francisco, the eleventh time he had made the trip in thirty days. . . . He is said to have mortgaged his property here and to have squandered his money. He came from San Francisco with a . . . stenographer and an electrical expert and an aide de camp or two. He said he had a great instrument by which he could cure almost every earthly ailment. . . .

paragraph: After a court hearing in June 1902, he was sent to the State Asylum for the Insane in Napa, California. His daughter Mary Louise Huber was made guardian of his estate.

paragraph: Huber died almost two years later—on June 27, 1904—at the age of fifty-nine.

paragraph: Section::::Common Council.

paragraph: Huber was elected on December 1, 1873, to represent the 3rd Ward on the Los Angeles Common Council and was reelected twice more to end his service on the council on December 6, 1877. In 1898 he was the Democratic candidate in the 4th Ward, but he was defeated by Republican Herman Silver.

paragraph: Karin Hansdotter

paragraph: Katarina "Karin" Hansdotter (1539–1596) was the royal mistress of King John III of Sweden during his time as Prince and Duke of Finland in 1555–1562.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Karin Hansdotter was the daughter of the Lutheran priest Hans Klasson Kökkemäster, a former monk of the Dominican Order, and his wife Ingeborg Åkesdotter, a former nun and the illegitimate daughter of count Åke Hansson Tott. Her father left monastic life after the Swedish Reformation and became a Lutheran priest in Stockholm, but lost his office because of adultery.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Royal mistress.

paragraph: Karin Hansdotter was given a position in the household of the queen dowager Catherine Stenbock, where she met Prince John. In 1555, Prince John was given his own household, and Karin left her position with the queen dowager and became the official kept mistress of John with the approval of her guardian. In 1556, accompanied John when he left Sweden for Åbo Castle in his Duchy of Finland, where she lived with him as his hostess and the center of his court. She was referred to as "Our Gracious Lady" and given her own household with her own maids and also brought her relatives and friends to her household. She followed him as far as to Arboga on his journey to England in 1559, and lived with him in Stockholm in 1560-61. The couple had four children.

paragraph: In 1562, the relationship between Karin and John was terminated awaiting his marriage to Catherine Jagellonica of Poland. In October 1562, Karin was awarded several estates in Finland, notably Wääksy Manor in Kangasala, and married to the nobleman Klas Andersson Westgöte (d. 1565), a trusted courtier of John. She was granted a great dowry by John and retired to the manor of her new spouse, Vik in Birkala. It is noted that she left her eldest children with John, but the two youngest followed her to Vik, as well as her own mother, who apparently lived with her.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.:Later life.

paragraph: In 1563, Duke John rebelled against his half brother, King Erik XIV and her spouse joined him. The defeat of John's rebellion resulted in John and his family (including her two eldest children with him) being imprisoned and the execution of her spouse for treason for his part in the rebellion. Karin, widowed and abandoned, was left destitute after her home was ransacked, however, Eric XIV did restore her property to her the following year.

paragraph: When John succeeded to the throne as king after the deposition of his brother in 1568, he granted her several additional estates, making her quite wealthy. In 1572, Karin married the royal official Lars Henrikson Hordeel (d. 1591). Her new husband was ennobled by John III in 1576, on condition that he "henceforth faithfully and diligently act toward Our Dear Lady and both of Our offspring". Her husband was consequently given an office and her son named governor of Åbo Castle, and her children with John III where ennobled in 1577 and her daughter Sofia became a lady-in-waiting of Princess Elizabeth of Sweden. From 1580, due to the office of her spouse and son, Karin was able to move back into Åbo Castle and once again become its hostess and the lady of her own court there. She had custody of her grandchildren by her daughter Sofia after Sofia's death in 1585 until they were taken to Sweden in 1589.

paragraph: When was widowed in 1591, Karin retired to her estate, where she was the neighbor of the deposed queen Karin Månsdotter, who lived in the estate next to hers. Karin died in 1596 during the great Finnish peasant rebellion, and died shortly before the rebels reached and sacked her estate.

paragraph: Francesco Foscari

paragraph: Francesco Foscari (19 June 1373 – 1 November 1457) was the 65th Doge of the Republic of Venice from 1423 to 1457. His reign, the longest of all Doges in Venetian history, lasted 34 years, 6 months and 8 days, and coincided with the inception of the Italian Renaissance.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Francesco Foscari was born in 1373, as the oldest son of Niccolò Foscari and his wife Cateruzia Michiel. The Foscari family had been of only moderate importance, but had managed to become one of the few noble families that secured a hereditary place in the Great Council of Venice after the so-called "Serrata" ("Closing") of the Great Council, and had begun to rise in prominence throughout the 14th century. Francesco's ancestors began holding high public office, and his father Niccolò even became a member of the powerful Council of Ten.

paragraph: Francesco served the Republic of Venice in numerous official capacities—as ambassador, president of the Council of Forty, member of the Council of Ten, inquisitor, Procurator of St Mark's, "avvogadore di comun"— before he was elected in 1423 defeating the other candidate, Pietro Loredan. His task as doge was to lead Venice in a long and protracted series of wars against Milan, governed by the Visconti, who were attempting to dominate all of northern Italy. Despite the justification of Venetian embroilment in the terraferma that was offered in Foscari's funeral oration, delivered by the humanist senator and historian Bernardo Giustiniani, and some victories, the war was extremely costly to Venice, whose real source of wealth and power was at sea. Venice, which during Foscari's leadership abandoned her ally Florence, was eventually overcome by the forces of Milan under the leadership of Francesco Sforza. Sforza soon made peace with Florence, however, leaving Venice alone.

paragraph: Foscari was married twice: first to Maria Priuli, and then in 1415 to Marina Nani. In 1445, his only surviving son, Jacopo, was tried by the Council of Ten on charges of bribery and corruption and exiled from the city. Two further trials, in 1450 and 1456, led to Jacopo's imprisonment on Crete and his eventual death there.

paragraph: News of Jacopo's death caused Foscari to withdraw from his government duties, and in October 1457 the Council of Ten forced him to abdicate. However, his death a week later provoked such public outcry that he was given a state funeral.

paragraph: Beside his profile portrait by Lazzaro Bastiani, Foscari commissioned a bas-relief bronze plaquette from Donatello, which survives in several examples. His figure kneeling in prayer to St Mark figured over the portal to the Doge's Palace until it was dismantled by order of the revolutionary government, 1797; the head was preserved and is conserved in the Museo dell'Opera di Palazzo Ducale. His monument by the sculptor Antonio Bregno in collaboration with his architect brother Paolo was erected in the church of Santa Maria dei Frari in Venice.

paragraph: Section::::In literature and opera.

paragraph: Foscari's life was the subject of a play "The Two Foscari" by Lord Byron (1821) and an episode in Samuel Rogers' long poem "Italy". The Byron play served as the basis for the libretto written by Francesco Maria Piave for Giuseppe Verdi's opera "I due Foscari", which premiered on 3 November 1844 in Rome. Mary Mitford, author of the popular literary sketches of the English countryside entitled "Our Village", also wrote a successful play concerned with events in Foscari's life. Mitford's play debuted at Covent Garden in 1826 with famed actor Charles Kemble in the lead.

paragraph: Alan Haynes

paragraph: Alan Haynes (February 19, 1956), born in Houston, Texas, is an American Texas Blues guitarist. Alan has been playing professionally since the 1970s and has performed with a variety of Blues legends that include Stevie Ray Vaughan, Johnny Winter, Albert Collins, Albert King, The Fabulous Thunderbirds (1980's version with Jimmie Vaughan), Robert Cray, Bonnie Raitt, John Lee Hooker, and Otis Rush among others. He now resides in Austin, Texas and plays locally in and around Texas' major cities, especially Houston (where he performs nearly every month), occasionally in Dallas and Fort Worth, and also Europe, where he has a large following in Scandinavian countries, Germany, Denmark and Israel.

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.:Early life.

paragraph: Haynes started playing guitar at the age of 8 and approached the blues for the first time when he was about 12. Among the first influences he had were the Three Kings of the Blues: BB King, Freddie King, and Albert King, as well as fellow Houston native Albert Collins. By the age of 16 Alan decided to dedicate himself to the blues.

paragraph: Section::::Life and career.:Adult life and career.

paragraph: In the late 1970s Alan joined the Texas Boogie Band as a second guitarist but eventually became the main guitarist. Alan moved to Austin, TX in the early 1980s. While playing with the Texas Boogie Band, Haynes got to open and share the stage with legendary Blues artists such as Muddy Waters. Alan and the Texas Boogie Band were, by that time, the house band at the Texas Opry House, also getting radio broadcasting in Houston (on 101KLOL). Alan would later lead his own band, "Alan Haynes and the Stepchildren" and release his first EP, "Seventh Son" in 1984 under the Orphan label. Stepchildren included legendary Blues-Rock drummer Uncle John Turner, who had played with the likes of Johnny Winter during the late 1960s and early 1970s and recorded milestone Blues albums. Alan was inducted into the "Buddy Magazine Texas Tornado List" in 1980 and his band was voted "Best Blues Band" by the "Music City Austin - Music Poll" in 1985. Later on, for about six years in the 1990s, Alan was the house band at Antone's "home of the Blues." During those years, in 1994, Alan released his second studio album, "Wishing Well". This time he had life friends and former Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble rhythm sections Chris Layton on drums, Tommy Shannon on bass, and Reese Wynans on keyboards. Alan also counted on Preston Hubbard from the Fabulous Thunderbirds and George Rains (Jimmie Vaughan's drummer) for this album. The result was earned Haynes a featured article in the "Guitar Player" magazine in August 1995. Alan would later continue playing locally and in Europe and would record two more albums on his own, but this time capturing the emotions of live performances. These two, "Live at the Blue Cat Blues" recorded in Dallas in 1998 with Jim Suhler and "Live at the Big Easy" recorded in Houston in 2001 would result in Haynes' last works to date.

paragraph: Section::::Style & technique.

paragraph: Haynes' style is a soulful mix of Texas blues that includes musical ideas from different genres, essentially jazz and southern country. Haynes' tone is relatively clean and very clear as he uses no effects between his guitars and amps. The use of different dynamics and long, intense jams after singing a few verses has been a constant throughout Alan's career. His versatility and variety as a musician and guitar player are easily recognized as he mixes jazz chords with country licks while playing blues progressions. Haynes is also well known for being a master of slide guitar and usually plays a few tunes with the slide in his regular sets. Haynes' playing style is also denoted by precision on his bends, a wide range and variety of licks and tight rhythms that he achieves through complex chord-arrangements. Another component of his playing is his heavy and masterful use of his fingers to play (instead of a pick, which he also uses) and several pickup switches while playing licks and chords that allows him to achieve different sounds.

paragraph: Section::::Musical influences.

paragraph: Haynes' main influence is Johnny Winter, who he was introduced to at the age of 15 by fellow Houstonian, Benny Valerio. This influence is evident in both his fluent and aggressive playing and growling vocals which he tends to harmonize with his guitar. Albert Collins is another big influence that can be traced on Alan's huge bends and vibratos as well as his fresh tone. Other Blues legends that have tremendously influenced his career and style are Albert King, Muddy Watters, Freddie King, BB King, T-Bone Walker, and Lightnin' Hopkins, among others. Alan has shared the stage or toured with many of these legends and has covered and recorded several covers from them. Many of those songs are still part of Haynes repertory when playing locally and abroad.

paragraph: Section::::Equipment.

paragraph: Alan's sound is characterized by a warm tone achieved by playing vintage Strats through vintage Fender amps. His main guitar is a 1960 Fender Stratocaster with a C-Profile rosewood fret board and Dakota Red body. It was previously owned by Stevie Ray Vaughan and prior to Stevie, it belonged to Eric Johnson. The guitar has also been played by Billy Gibbons, Carlos Santana and Johnny Winter. Pickups on this guitar are stock and therefore have a vintage sound. His favorite amp setup includes a Fender Vibroking which he cranks up to get natural overdrive from the amp as he uses no pedals or stompboxes at all. Previously a heavy strings user (11's and 12's), Haynes now employs any 10-46 set of strings and prefers standard tuning.

paragraph: Pablo Donoso

paragraph: Pablo Donoso Prado (born December 3, 1984) is a professional racing driver from Santiago de Chile. He began racing at 9 years of age. He is racing in the Firestone Indy Lights Series and passed the Rookie Test for the Indy Racing League IndyCar Series on February 29, 2008 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: In 1994 he began his racing career, in karting, moved by his father, Jorge Donoso, who was also a race driver in Chile.

paragraph: Since that year and until 1999, he raced karting in the Chilean and Argentine championships with a total of 18 wins and 32 podiums, with two sub-championships and the 1996 title.

paragraph: Section::::Development in Argentina.

paragraph: He moved to Argentina where he raced in the prestigious Fórmula Renault until 2002. In 2002 he became the 2nd Chilean driver to win a race in Argentina after Eliseo Salazar who won in 1978 Formula 4. That year, his results took him to the fight for the championship against the Argentine Juan Cruz Alvarez up to the final round, finally with a 2nd place overall.

paragraph: Section::::Europe.

paragraph: Donoso then moved to Europe, racing in European Formula BMW Junior with a total of 4 wins, 2 poles, and 4 podiums. Again, he matched Salazar to be the second Chilean to win a European race since the Eliseo's 1980 win in the British Formula One Championship.

paragraph: In 2003 he raced in the World Series Light by Nissan with the Chilean beer brand Cristal as his main sponsor and backed by his manager, former race driver, Cristián Mackenna. That year Donoso got one win at the EuroSpeedway Lausitz circuit with the Vergani Racing Team.

paragraph: In 2004 he moved to the World Series by Nissan. In this series, he was the teammate of Enrique Bernoldi, a former F1 driver. At this level, he didn't succeed and he was forced to leave his seat in the middle of the season due to budget issues.

paragraph: Section::::Early career in the United States.

paragraph: In 2004, he finished his contract with Mackenna and got in touch with Eliseo Salazar to redirect his career to the US. Looking for a small racing series to compete in with specified equipment and lower budgets, he joined the Star Mazda Series in 2005. He raced in the series with Andersen Walko Racing, competing against drivers like Marco Andretti, Graham Rahal, Jonathan Klein and Raphael Matos among others.

paragraph: He won at Infineon Raceway from the pole position, his only victory of the season, with several podiums.

paragraph: In a very criticized decision in his native Chile, he joined the USAC Silver Crown Series for the 2006 season; one of the oldest open-wheel series in the United States. He believed that this series could be a step to finally get to a world-class category like NASCAR or the IndyCar Series. That, and additional financial problems made Silver Crown an attractive option in spite of other series like the Infiniti Pro Series or the Champ Car Atlantic Series possibly being better suited to his goals.

paragraph: Section::::USAC career.

paragraph: With new more formula style cars, Donoso joined the struggling series driving for Vance Racing owned by Johnny Vance. At the first races of 2006 he was able to show his potential but suffered from mechanical problems. The criticism in Chile was rising, meanwhile, many oval specialists congratulated him for this natural ability to handle the somewhat unusual cars.

paragraph: The IndyCar team Hemelgarn Racing fielded a car for him in two rounds of the 2006 USAC Silver Crown season and Donoso delivered two 2nd places at the Iowa Speedway and Kansas Speedway.

paragraph: Section::::IndyCar Series test and Indy Lights ride.

paragraph: With the goal of getting closer to the main series, in 2007 Donoso joined the team of the legendary A. J. Foyt, A. J. Foyt Enterprises. He raced the 2007 series with Tracy Hines as his teammate.

paragraph: On Friday 29th, Donoso passed the IndyCar Series rookie test at Homestead Miami Speedway using Darren Manning's car under Johnny Rutherford's supervision. After that, Foyt said that Donoso would become his second driver for the 2008 IndyCar Series season. However, he would start the season racing in the Firestone Indy Lights Series for SWE Racing, signing with the team for four races. Donoso was not entered in the Indianapolis 500 with Foyt's team, the seat instead going to Jeff Simmons. Donoso continued in Indy Lights with Team Moore Racing beginning with the Freedom 100. At the race after the Freedom 100, Donoso won his first series pole at the Milwaukee Mile.

paragraph: Donoso scored his first podium finish in Indy Lights competition in the time-shortened second Mid Ohio 100 race. He finished 3rd in a race won by James Davison. However, he parted ways with Team Moore after that race and was entered in Brian Stewart Racing's #3 car for the following race. He returned to Team Moore for the next pair of races at Infineon Raceway and captured his first series win in the weekend's second race as he started from the pole due to the field inversion from race 1.

paragraph: Donoso signed to race in the Indy Lights in 2009 with Brian Stewart Racing. However, after the Kansas Speedway race he switched to Genoa Racing for the Freedom 100 and then Team PBIR for the Milwaukee race. He drove for his third team in as many races when he competed for RLR-Andersen Racing at Iowa Speedway and continued with RLR-Andersen on a part-time basis through the August race at Kentucky Speedway, which is his last start in the series.

paragraph: Earl Young (architect)

paragraph: Earl A. Young (March 31, 1889 – May 24, 1975) was an American architectural designer, realtor, and insurance agent. Over a span of 52 years, he designed and built 31 structures in Charlevoix, Michigan but was never a registered architect. He worked mostly in stone, using limestone, fieldstone, and boulders he found throughout Northern Michigan. The homes are commonly referred to as gnome homes, mushroom houses, or Hobbit houses. His door, window, roof, and fireplace designs were distinct because of his use of curved lines. Young's goal was to show that a small stone house could be as impressive as a castle. Young also helped make Charlevoix the busy, summer resort town that it is today.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Earl Young was born in Mancelona, Michigan in 1889 to parents Adolf and Myrtie Young. He moved to Charlevoix at 11 years old where his father set up an insurance business. As a teenager, Young was interested in photography and taught himself photofinishing. He took many photos in Charlevoix, of both the city and the woods. In high school, he was on the skating team and the track team. During his senior year, Young was coeditor of his school's newspaper with Irene Harsha, who would later become his wife. In 1908, he enrolled in the School of Architecture at the University of Michigan. He was influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright's idea that buildings should respect their surroundings. Young was discouraged by the classic Greek, Roman, and Victorian architecture he was learning about and left school after only one year.

paragraph: That was the last time Young would have any formal schooling. He joined his family's insurance business, which soon expanded to include realty. For the rest of his life, he would say he was a realtor and would tell people that he had held his realtor's license for 60 years. In the same building as the insurance agency, Young also ran a photofinishing business and sold bread. During this time, he continued to learn about architecture and construction by reading books and magazines and talking to construction workers and stonemasons. On February 14, 1914, Myrtie Young died and Earl was left alone in the family business.

paragraph: On September 21, 1915, Young married Irene Harsha, his high school sweetheart. He joked that he married her to "keep her on his staff." Over the next 11 years their family grew to include four children: Drew, Marguerite, Louise, and Virginia.

paragraph: Young developed some bad habits very early and they continued with him throughout his career. He was a difficult designer to deal with. He never made blueprints; workers were lucky to get a rough sketch that was refined by Irene. Young also never thought about practicality, making very short doorways and kitchens like hallways. He was an on-the-spot designer and said the stones spoke to him. When asked which building was his favorite, Young would always respond, "The next one."

paragraph: Section::::First homes.

paragraph: Earl Young had been studying the houses in Charlevoix County for years. He believed that these houses could be mixed up and put back on any plot of land with no consequences. He wanted to build homes that fit into their landscape following a philosophy shared by Frank Lloyd Wright. From 1918 to 1921, he worked on his first building at 304 Park Avenue. It was built mostly of stone with a few wooden details and an Arts and Crafts influence. This home respected the contours of the land and contained the first of his celebrated stone fireplaces. He built it for his family to live in.

paragraph: In 1920, he built a new insurance office for himself. It was called the Apple Tree Building after the tree that grew behind it. The building had to be removed in 2003, but the fireplace was saved.

paragraph: Young bought a large piece of land on Lake Michigan from Mary Bartholomew in 1924. He partitioned the land into 85 lots, only three of which were rectangular, and began advertising it as Boulder Park. Lots started at $100 and the first floor of any house that was built had to be made of stone, brick, or stucco. Young designed and built ten homes in Boulder Park, although it is a common misconception that he built all of the homes there since many homeowners had their houses commissioned "in the style of" Earl Young.

paragraph: From 1927 to 1930, he worked on a house with green mortar between the stones. It was heavily influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright and was the first of Young's homes to have a deemphasized, almost hidden entryway. At the same time, he worked on a house made of rough stone with his first remarkable chimney; the chimney seemed to be made of randomly placed stones and the top of it appeared to be frosted with snow. Both homes have a door and stairs that face the road but no walkway that leads to them.

paragraph: The next home Young built resembled an English cottage. It was built between 1928 and 1929 with flat white stones and white mortar. Its rolled eaves are the first clue to the undulating roofs Young would later construct.

paragraph: From 1929 to 1930, Young built two homes. The first was made mostly of stones with red mortar between them. The stucco gables playfully have eight stones "tossed" into them. This is the only home he built without a sheltered entrance. The second of the two homes has a distinct Swiss chalet influence.

paragraph: In 1930, Herman Panama commissioned a home made of cobblestone from Young. The house is called The Norman Panama House after Herman Panama's son, a Hollywood producer, writer, and director. Local legend has it that the house was a place written in and about in some his films, such as "White Christmas".

paragraph: Young designed a home called The Owl House, which was constructed from 1930 to 1931. The house was made entirely of granite. It received its name from the two round windows on its front that resemble eyes.

paragraph: The Enchanted Cottage was built next. It is the only structure that Young built but did not design. This is evident because the house has many straight lines and right angles, unlike Young's other homes. Mr. and Mrs. Cross convinced Young to build the house based on House Pattern 357 from Ladies' Home Journal (which at the time was a leader, along with other home-centered magazines, in popularizing architects and architectural plans). He gave it his own touch with a stone exterior and a slight change to the dormer windows.

paragraph: Soon after, he bought "The Golden Rule", a sailboat, from a friend. Young convinced the Coast Guard to haul it out in front Boulder Park and beach it. Its only purpose was to act as a conversation piece, although, Lake Michigan's rough summer waves and harsh icy winters soon demolished the boat.

paragraph: Young's next home was The Pagoda House, finished in 1935. Constructed of limestone, it had Oriental, Gothic and Swiss influences. This was the last home he built in Boulder Park.

paragraph: Section::::Boulder Manor.

paragraph: Building Boulder Manor was considered the turning point in Earl Young's architecture career. It is the most well known home in Boulder Park. For years Young had saved boulders, both physically and mentally. He had the ability to remember the dimension and colors of hundred of boulders at the same time, over the span of many years. He dug up the boulders he liked, sometimes having to purchase them. He hid them underground, deep in the woods, or in Lake Michigan. Many of these boulders came together when he started building Boulder Manor for his family in the fall of 1928. He built a playhouse in the backyard which is basically a miniature replica of the main house. His daughters and their friends played inside while he oversaw work on the big house. The playhouse has a working fireplace and electricity. In 1929, however, the Great Depression hit and Young had to sell the unfinished house to the bank.

paragraph: For many years he worked on other homes and on December 9, 1937, he regained possession of Boulder Manor, finishing it in 1939. The fireplace is composed of six massive boulders that form a trapezoid-shaped mantel. The front of the house is dominated by an arched window that gives a spectacular view of Lake Michigan. One stone on the south side of the house juts up into the vinyl siding, fusing the two materials together to create one cohesive building.

paragraph: Section::::Later homes.

paragraph: Young purchased a triangular piece of land between Park Avenue, Grant Street, and Clinton Street. Many of his next houses were built either here or nearby. Abide was the first of these homes. It had even fewer straight lines than its predecessors, which was especially apparent in the roof. Young liked to say that he "built roofs and then shoved the houses underneath." Because he refused to cut down trees on the property, they looked like they grew around the house. Abide has Young's first fireplace made of Onaway stone.

paragraph: Around this time, Young convinced the community to demolish buildings that blocked the view of Round Lake from Bridge Street. The four block area was turned into a park that is still enjoyed today.

paragraph: In 1943, Tide Beside Abide — or Betide — was constructed. It sits far back from Park Avenue and drops down the back of the hill. This makes the home look three times smaller from the front than it actually is.

paragraph: In 1945, Young constructed a cottage across from Abide. It had a thatched roof imported from Europe, whitewashed stones, and dark wood. The roof was later changed to shingles to make maintenance easier, and the whitewash was removed from the stones.

paragraph: When Young's children moved out, he built a new home for himself and Irene at 306 Park Avenue. The house is made of Onaway stone and the roof mimics the swells of the hills surrounding it. The fireplace is composed of more Onaway stone and the horizontal and vertical pieces come together to make two diagonal lines. Diagonal lines on fireplaces proved to become more pronounced on his later buildings. Young lived here for almost 30 years.

paragraph: Young's smallest building, Half House, was finished in 1947. It has a steep, wavy roof and stops flat on the East side with a high chimney.

paragraph: The next home was created for Speedway 79 founder William Sucher in 1948. Young walked the land with Sucher and his wife and at one spot stopped and told them: "From this spot I want you to see one third sky, one third water, and one third grass." This type of behavior was not unusual for Young.

paragraph: In 1951, Young built what is now the most photographed home in Charlevoix, which the owner calls Boulderdash. It was modeled after a button mushroom. It is said that the exact square footage cannot be determined because the floor plan is so irregular. The boulder walls are three feet thick and the undulating roof had to be completed twice because the first time the shingles were put on in neat rows, not the chaotic, sweeping billows Young wanted. The lead glass windows were originally in a Polish castle.

paragraph: Between 1952 and 1962 Young remodeled three homes, usually adding stone to the fireplace and to the exterior of the homes. At the same time, he also constructed two homes, one of which was for the mayor of Charlevoix.

paragraph: Section::::The Weathervane.

paragraph: Young tore down an old mill to create The Weathervane Inn, which opened in 1955. The restaurant houses five fireplaces; the main one in the dining room is topped by a boulder found by Young 26 years before. The boulder is similar in shape to Michigan's lower peninsula and Young felt the lines bisecting it looked like the highways crisscrossing through the land. An 18,260 pound stone, the first time the boulder was put in place, the floor sank under the weight. The roof of The Weathervane Inn mimics the outstretched wings of a seagull in flight. The gull motif is also found in fireplaces in The Weathervane compound and a few houses.

paragraph: The Weathervane Lodge opened in August 1959. The square, two-story building houses 37 units and is still in use today, but is known simply as The Lodge. At the time, it was the only two-storey motel with a passenger elevator. For the Weathervane Terrace Motel, Young seems to have drawn influence from nearby Castle Farms, but he never admitted it. Young experienced financial difficulties during construction, but the motel was finished in 1965. The main fireplace features red, gold and black stone. The fireplace in the breakfast room is made of five huge stones that fit together like a perfect puzzle. Young sold off the Weathervane buildings in 1968 but retained his office for the rest of his life.

paragraph: Section::::Other projects.

paragraph: In 1967, Young started working on land that faced Round Lake. He called the area Thistle Down. The first home here was an A-frame with very little stone on the exterior. The stairway was constructed with discs cut from a single log. The flamboyant main fireplace uses the same stylized gulls as The Weathervane, and includes artistic homages to local landmarks. A red sandstone house was built in 1969, and bulldozed in 1994. From 1970 to 1973 Young worked on The Castle House, his last completed design. Today, it has been incorporated into a much larger home but still retains its Earl Young flair.

paragraph: One house was constructed outside of Charlevoix. After much pestering Young built the Suchers another house in Alma, Michigan. It is made of Onaway stone and the fireplace is a full wall of diagonal lines.

paragraph: In the 1930s Young dragged a boulder out in front of Boulder Park. Forty years later, he upended it where it sits today, proclaiming the beginning of Boulder Park.

paragraph: Section::::Later life.

paragraph: Young went to his office every day. He continued to find new boulders, sketch ideas and dream. At 86 years of age, he slipped on a patch of ice and broke his hip. Young died on May 24, 1975, at a medical facility in East Jordan, Michigan.

paragraph: Section::::Style.

paragraph: Young constructed homes during the Mid-Century modern era of architecture. This era is known for integrating nature into the houses, as Young always did. He would work around trees instead of cutting them down and wanted the houses to be a harmonious part of the landscape instead of destroying or overshadowing it. His architecture from this time features open, flowing floor plans and the beginning of post and beam structures with light, glass walls. Many of Young's homes have open floor plans but the stone walls never feel delicate. Like other buildings from the period, the stone houses are less formal than their predecessors. This informality is mainly shown by the lack of straight lines. The largest difference between Young's homes and those of his contemporaries is who the houses are designed for. Other homes were built for the contemporary American family and their needs, but Young built only for himself. His awkward, hallway-like kitchens have been remodeled in many homes to make them more accommodating as they were unworkable, something that Young did not care about or understand. Young is often compared to Frank Lloyd Wright because of his integration with nature and his stubborn attitude, but critics have never formally compared the two architects.

paragraph: Another influence deeply interwoven is Storybook-style architecture, which gained popularity in the 1920s. It "mimics rural European vernacular architecture and often uses found or recycled material (including architectural pieces recovered from the homes of Chicago lumber barons), or carefully weathered new material." The wavy roofs connected uneven rafters with lath or sheathing, and multiple layers of cedar shakes. "Another Storybook Style feature often employed by Young is the squat, cartoonish chimney that appears to be sagging and dripping with gingerbread-house frosting."

paragraph: There is no escaping that Young had an 'organic' relationship with the stones he used in his architecture: so much so that it was roofs and boulders that shaped his work. The result has been described as "lithotecture".

paragraph: Section::::Tours and museum exhibits.

paragraph: The Mushroom House Tours of Charlevoix run by Edith Pair offer daily GEM car tours of all 28 houses, 7 days a week 10:00-4:00 pm. Visit www.MushroomHouseTours.com for all booking and Info.

paragraph: The Charlevoix Historical Society's Harsha House Museum, 103 State Street, has an Earl Young exhibit.

paragraph: It is said that these are high maintenance houses, which require loving care and constant refurbishment.

paragraph: Marian Fuks (photographer)

paragraph: Marian Fuks (his first name often rendered Marjan; 18841935) was a Polish photographer, photojournalist, and film-maker, one of pioneers of newsreel production and modern montage techniques.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Marian Fuks was born in 1884 in Warsaw, then in Russian-held part of Poland. Initially a photojournalist for the "Świat" weekly, after 1906 Fuks opened up a photographic atelier in Warsaw which he expanded in 1910 into one of the first press photo agencies in Central Europe. In 1912 he also started filming newsreel reportages on important contemporary events, such as the trial of Damazy Macoch, the 1914 trial of Count Bogdan Jaksa-Ronikier or police officers apprehending criminals in Łódź. He also filmed the funeral of Bolesław Prus in May 1912. Before World War I he was among the founding members of the Association of Professional Photographers and the Society of Photography Professionals.

paragraph: As a photojournalist he documented some of the most notable events in contemporary Polish history, including the entry of Polish Army in Kiev, and the May Coup d'État. In 1925 he also published a history of photojournalism in Poland "Zaranie fotografii dziennikarskiej w Polsce".

paragraph: Fuks also collaborated on a number of feature silent films, notably the 1912 silent film "Obłąkany" starring Stefan Jaracz and "Carewicz", based on a play by Gabriela Zapolska and directed by William Wauer. In 1932 he released a documentary "Gdańsk w cieniu swastyki" ("Danzig in the Shadow of Swastika") on the rise of Nazism in the Free City of Danzig. He died in Warsaw in 1935, his studio continued to function for a couple more years.
