Luncheon Lecture looks at Addiction & Tribal Justice
October 11
11:30am lunch | 12pm Lecture
North Central Michigan College’s Luncheon Lecture will feature the Hon. Allie Greenleaf Maldonado, chief judge for the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians.
The program will be held in the Library Conference Center on the Petoskey campus.
What should a tribal court do with addicts who commit crimes? Should a drug dealer be sent to jail or diverted to a healing-to-wellness program? Judge Maldonado has faced those difficult questions and will explain how she answers them. Her essay on the topic is contained in a new audio textbook, “Tough Cases,” which looks at the decision-making processes used by judges who have dealt with a variety of thorny cases, including Elián González, Scooter Libby, and Terri Schiavo.
Reservations are required. Call 231-348-6600 or email
luncheonlectures@ncmich.edu
to reserve your place at the table. Cost is $12 (cash or check only – at door) and includes lunch.

The Nathan Beem Memorial Nature Preserve
Reflecting A Young Man's Integrity In The Natural World
The Upper Chain of Lakes has long been a special place for the Beem family. When Dan Beem first brought his young bride Heather up north and then later his children Kristin and Nathan, they all fell deeply in love with the area. So much so that Kristin named her daughter Ellie, a shortened version of Ellsworth. Despite the nearly seven-hour drive from Xenia, Ohio, they made the trip as frequently as possible and the kids both grew to love camping and fishing. “Nathan would sit on the dock and fish for hours as a little boy,” Dan recalls. “It didn’t even matter if he wasn’t catching anything.” As Dan would later describe, Nathan came to know the Upper Chain and surrounding lakes so well he could have been a fishing guide.
On August 24, 2018, at the age of 21, Nathan’s life came to an unexpected end in Ellsworth, a place where he someday dreamed of owning land and living. Very shortly after this tragedy, Dan sensed that he wanted to do something in Nate’s honor that would reflect his son’s deep love of the outdoors. He reached out to Little Traverse Conservancy Associate Director Ty Ratliff to discuss some ideas and options, first meeting Ty in October 2018.
The Beems worked with LTC on a fundraising campaign to create the 105-acre Nathan Beem Memorial Nature Preserve. The campaign was launched in early May and soon after, hundreds of donations came pouring in for the special land preservation effort. A large portion of the funding came from the Beem Family and from 158 individual donors as well as a grant from the Charlevoix County Community Foundation for this special land preservation effort. Additional funding came from the Michigan Forest Habitat Fund.*
