85-year-old plans to sky dive over Charlevoix with goal of 1,000 jumps
CHARLEVOIX — An 85-year-old international sky diver from Michigan is taking a leap in Charlevoix this weekend. Kim Emmons Knor was a competitive sky diver, making history as a member of the first women’s parachute team. After a 37-year hiatus, she’s back to achieve her goal of gold wings for 1,000 sky dives. Even after her husband died, Knor decided it wasn’t too late to chase her dream. “I went to a reunion of all jumpers and they said, ‘Why don’t you just come and make a jump or two, for the grandkids, you know? And I said, ‘No, I don’t think so, I’ve sold all my equipment, everything’s gone.’ But then they said, Come on, just come out, make one,’” said Knor.

Shanty Creek Resort: 5 world-class golf courses in 5 miles
The resort offers one of the largest concentrations of golf courses in the world, with a diverse terrain and a range of difficulty levels — and all five courses are located within minutes of each other. Steve Scheuermann, PGA, has played hundreds of golf courses, but there is one in particular that keeps him coming back: Cedar River GC at Shanty Creek Resort. Designed by Tom Weiskopf, a 16-time PGA Tour title winner, Scheurmann says the course has “a very clever, very collaborative design” that provides a great experience from start to finish, with tree-lined pathways, wide, rolling fairways and a view of the Cedar River in two spots. It’s a course one reviewer describes as having “quirky holes that you could resent in any other setting but work perfectly in a northern Michigan forest.” “I’ve been a golf professional for 45 years. This is the one course I would play every single day and never get tired of it,” said Scheuermann, who serves as director of golf operations for Shanty Creek Resort in Bellaire, Michigan.
