<center>'''Robert 'Smo' Smolinski, 82'''</center>

Robert "Smo" Smolinski, 82, of Petoskey, passed away April 23, 2009, at Northern Michigan Regional Hospital in Petoskey.

Smo was born in Rogers City on March 11, 1927, the son of Leo and Jeannette (Martin) Smolinski. He was raised in the Catholic faith and attended school in Rogers City.

Robert loved nature. His love of the Great Lakes, especially fishing, kept him near water his entire life.

He was preceded in death by his loving wife of 50-plus years, Carol Smolinski, in November 2001.

Smo worked and retired from the Limestone Quarry in Rogers City after his return from Naval service in the Pacific Theatre during World War II.

Smo met and married his loving wife, Carol Olson, while living in Rogers City. Together, they raised and cherished their family, Judy Baker of Petoskey, Craig and Harriett of Petoskey, Leon and Dorothy of Grand Prairie, Texas, and Jeannie and Brian Mandeville of Boyne City.

The Smolinski's moved to the Petoskey area in 1968 and Robert took up fishing full-time and became a self-proclaimed expert in the sport.

He had nine grandchildren, Jessie Baker, Marc Smolinski, Haley Fox, Ben Smolinski, Beth Smolinski, Jackie Carbajal, Matt Smolinski, Casey Handwerk and Kelly Handwerk. He also had three great-grandchildren, Eli Baker, Leeland Fox and Owen Handwerk.

Arrangements were handled by the Charles G. Parks Funeral Home in Petoskey. There will be no visitation.

A memorial service is tentatively planned for Monday, April 27.

The family wishes to thank Northern Michigan Regional Hospital and its staff.

Fish On!

		+	'''Mick will be 'truly missed''''
		+
		+	'''Local resident, city councilman, “Chain Gang” member, dies'''
		+
		+	By KATE BASSETT
		+	HARBOR LIGHT NEWSPAPER
		+
		+	Communities are shaped by individuals, and Harbor Springs lost one of its greats last week. Mick Heinz, a City Council member known for his dedication and love for his town, died following a series of recent health issues.
		+
		+	“From a local government perspective, Mick was a rare breed,” said Harbor Springs city manager, Tom Richards. “It is truly a blessing to have someone like Mick on the team...someone who after a career of dedication as a member of the City’s staff, then took on the responsibility as a policy-maker for the city he loved.”
		+
		+	Born and raised in Harbor Springs, Mick served his community in various capacities throughout his adult life, volunteering as a Boy Scout leader, School Board member, Little League president and coach, and “chain gang” member, marking yardage on the sidelines of high school football games, as well as countless other small and large contributions of his time, energy, and talents.
		+
		+	In his late 60s, Heinz turned much of his attention toward preserving and supporting the city he’d called home his entire life, save time serving the military in Vietnam.
		+
		+	“I didn’t work with Mick long at the Council table. I believe we served one term together when I returned to the table after a few years away; he was term limited out soon after that. Then I had the pleasure of working with him during this term. He was great to work with. We didn’t always agree, but we disagreed as friends and never let disagreements become personal. Mostly, though, we did agree on issues facing the City- especially infrastructure maintenance and improvement,” said Mayor Alan Dika.
		+
		+	Dika noted he was originally concerned about Heinz’s former employee connection to the City of Harbor Springs. It did not take long for that worry to disappear. Heinz’s crinkling eyes and honest smile, his forthright manner and ability to listen to all sides, made him well respected at the Council table.
		+
		+	“Because Mick was a former City employee and union member, I had concerns about how he would work as a Councilman- especially when it came to employee issues. I was very pleased with the way he worked with a very open minded, neutral position and added great insight to the City’s personnel committee during negotiations and employee-City conflicts; he was a peacemaker; tough as he needed to be to do his job as a Councilman, but helping us understand the employee’s perspective at the same time,”Dika said.
		+
		+	It is rare to have someone with deep roots and such long-lasting passion for community, Richards added, especially with the added bonus of inside understanding, yet the ability to remain neutral.
		+
		+	“That unusual level of commitment, plus the knowledge and experience of how the City really works is a real gift, one that we all have benefited from.”
		+
		+	Beyond that, Dika said Heinz was dedicated to bringing new faces and energy into city politics.
		+
		+	“Mick brought some young people and locals back to City government. There are not many of us left in town that can hold Council and other positions on boards and commissions,” Dika noted. “He and I agreed that it was important to bring a new generation of people that have significant town history into city government. Mick seems to have known everyone in town, and he was doing some recruiting of younger locals to get involved. I think that will prove to be a great long term benefit to our town.”
		+
		+	As Harbor Springs tries to find its footing in less stable economic times, energy geared toward revitalization and new ideas has been a strong force in the community in recent years. Dika said having someone who was both a “local” and cheerleader for seeing the city truly successful for years to come, was an important voice for City Council.
		+
		+	“I’ll miss Mick sitting next to me at the table. He was my partner. Often he would call or drop by the shop and say ‘we’ve got to talk,’” Dika recalled. “We would hash out ideas, especially with all the ‘change discussions that are going on today, and he’d tell me what he thought was appropriate and acceptable, I’d tell him where I was coming from, and I’d say 98-percent of the time we would find common ground.
		+
		+	“Sometimes he’d tell me to reel him in if he got out of line while speaking from the Council table- I never did that. I always felt that what Mick had to say from the table was clear, to the point and needed to be said. Working with Mick, with his gentle toughness, was an honor.”
		+
		+	In the end, Richards summed up the collective sadness at Heinz’s death in a way that fit the man who was so well known and loved in this community. Simply.
		+
		+	“He’ll truly be missed.”
