Always putting others first
For the past 15 years Dennis Zupin has assisted members of the Onekama kindergarten class by hatching
chicken eggs for them.
CITIZEN OF THE YEAR: Frequent Onekama volunteer
Dennis Zupin proves helping others is the greatest gift
BY KEN GRABOWSKI
ASSOCIATE EDITOR
There are certain peo-
ple in this world who daily
give of themselves, doing
the little things that most
people take for granted.
But when they are unable
to perform those tasks,
that’s when everyone else
notices just how much
they miss them and more
importantly, what a valu-
able role they play in all
our lives.
Onekama resident
Dennis Zupin is one of
those unique individuals
who is always at the front
of the volunteering line
and ready to give of him-
self at any opportunity to
help others. That unselfish
willing-to-help-others atti-
tude is why he was select-
ed as the recipient of the
Manistee News Advocate
2010 Citizen of the Year
award.
Zupin can be seen
volunteering his time
just about every day of
the week at either the
Onekama Consolidated
Schools, the St. Joseph
Catholic Church, or in
the community. It is
something that amazes
and impresses Onekama
Consolidated School
Superintendent Kevin
Hughes.
“Dennis is a tireless
worker for the district, and
he started off volunteer-
ing in the elementary level
years ago with his two
sons and daughter,” said
Hughes. “They have since
graduated, but he contin-
ues to support the district
by volunteering.”
Not a day goes by
where Zupin can’t be
found somewhere in the
high school pitching in
wherever there is a need
and it is always done with
a friendly smile. He also is
an avid sports booster and
assists at athletic events,
running the clock at bas-
ketball games and serv-
ing as an official at track
meets.
When the time comes
for the booster club to run
fundraisers, he is right
in the middle of cooking
food, dishing it out or
helping make plans for the
next event. What makes it
so special is it all is done
quite simply because he
wants to help.
Onekama principal
Gina Hagen agreed with
Hughes’ assessment of
Zupin. Hagen said the
thing that impresses her
most about Zupin is the
approach he takes to what
he does at the school. It
is something she said he
does without looking for
any recognition or com-
pensation.
“He does it out of the
goodness of his heart, and
not as a sense of duty, or
even to benefit his own
children,” said Hagen. “He
just does it for the good
of all. He puts everyone
above himself, and you
wish you had 400 parents
like that helping out.”
When the News
Advocate asked the public
to nominate candidates
for this new award to
recognize those individu-
als from the community
who step forward to help
others without being
asked, the message heard
from the community
was loud and clear that
Dennis Zupin deserved
this award. It was a strong
field of candidates that
came from all corners
of Manistee County who
were nominated for this
award, but officials at the
News Advocate were over-

ZUPIN: FROM PAGE 1

very rewarding.”
What is amazing about all the
volunteering and community ser-
vice he has done over the years
is the fact that Zupin has faced
some very serious health issues.
It recently landed him in the hos-
pital, but, according to Hagen, it
didn’t stop him thinking about
helping the kids for one second.
“He helps prepare our
Thursday night ski for the kids
(at Crystal Mountain Resort)
and he was so worried about that
happening that he was calling all
over from the hospital to make
sure those kids would get to go,”
said Hagen. “That speaks vol-
umes about him. He always has a
positive attitude and goes about
things the right way.”
Onekama Athletic Club
booster Mark Ward was one of
the many people who nominated
Zupin for the Citizen of the Year
award and he pointed out that he
is always willing to step forward
and help out at any of the fund-
raisers. Getting people to donate
their time to work at a fundraiser
can sometimes be a challenge,
but Ward said that isn’t the case
with Zupin, who can be found
barbecuing the chicken or hand-
ing out awards.
“He always helps run the
Onekama Days 5K run and the
Picnic in Park and much more,”
said Ward.
His service does extend
beyond just volunteering in the
classroom, and for the past six
years Zupin has been a member
of the Onekama Consolidated
Schools Board of Education. He
admits that when he came on the
board the district was coming out
of some turbulent times, and try-
ing to put together some unity for
the best of the district. Being a
part of that process is something
he looks to with great pride.
“Lee Sandy was the superin-
tendent at the time when I came
on the board, and we were just
coming off the process of the
recalls of several board mem-
bers,” recalled Zupin. “Mr. Sandy
was very nice, and then Kevin
Hughes stepped in after him and
now we have a lot good things
going on in Onekama.”
Hughes said Zupin was one
of the many key people in that
transition process. The Onekama
superintendent said that without
question Zupin is always looking
for the positive and he was a key
component of the recent bond
issue that added to the school
building.
“He is on our school board
and was real active in the building
project,” said Hughes. “He leads
by example and is real positive
force who is constantly looking
out for the kids. He has had some
extra time due to those health
issues, but doesn’t just sit around
moping about his problems, and
puts that time to good use.”
Fellow board member Sally
Koon, who was another that
nominated Zupin for the award,
said she was impressed with all
that he has done and accom-
plished over the years.
“Over the last 18 years,
Dennis has spent 1,000 hours
of volunteering at Onekama
Schools,” said Koon. “From help-
ing in classes, to chaperoning,
to serving on the school board,
Dennis is always there help-
ing out. He is also active at St.
Joseph Church in Onekama and
the Boy Scouts as well. Dennis
has done all this while raising
three children as a single parent
and suffering from some serious
health disabilities.”
Patty and Doug Callaway
couldn’t agree more with what
Koon said about Zupin, say-
ing that it is only fitting that
he receives the very first News
Advocate Citizen of the Year
award.
“Dennis Zupin exemplifies the
meaning of citizen of the year,”
said the Callaways. “Without
seeking recognition for his
efforts, he volunteers endlessly
in the Onekama community. He
always helps where he is needed.”

said Kudlack. “He is a tireless

TAKING THE NEXT STEP
West Shore Community College music program moves
forward under new professor
BY KEN GRABOWSKI
ASSOCIATE EDITOR
One of the best kept
secrets around this part of
Michigan is the outstand-
ing music program that is
offered from West Shore
Community College, as many
people are unaware of all the
outstanding things that are
being done on campus in this
area.
Former professor of
music Daniel Myers laid a
strong foundation of that
music program, but he has
moved on and the reins have students that didn’t exist in
been taken over by Annette
Jurcevic, who joined the col-
lege in the fall. In the mere
months that she has been on them, so students can learn
campus, Jurcevic has begun from it by recording and
taking steps that will make
the music program even
better. She came to West
Shore Community College
from Austin, Texas where
she worked at St. Edwards
University.
The change to a commu- asked students to compose
nity college located in a rural something and they can just
area was something that
appealed to Jurcevic. She is me to download it to my
required to wear many hats
at WSCC, but it is something is just amazing, and that
she openly welcomes.
“It is very challenging,
but that is one of the things
that drew me to West Shore room we now have to offer.
in the first place,” said
Jurcevic. “My specialty is
that I don’t specialize. I have
an interest and passion for
the educational background ties offer some outstanding
in many areas. If I do one
thing, I get bored with it, so I grams and she is hoping to
am happy doing instrumen- tap into some of that talent
tal and vocal music. I like
the idea of doing academic
music and teaching, so this
is challenging and fabulous.
It really is the place where I
want to be.
“I was looking on the
Internet at the Chronicle
of Higher Education and
applying for different things.
When I read this job descrip-
tion, my thoughts were the
job was written for me, so I
applied.”
The switch from Austin to
the Manistee-Mason county
area was quite dramatic in
itself, but Jurcevic is not
unfamiliar with midwest
winters. She spent most of
her early life in that type of
weather and environment.
“I was born in Jackson,
(Michigan) and spent the
first half of my childhood in
Southern Michigan and the
second half in Wisconsin, so
I love it here,” said Jurcevic.
Jurcevic said that she was
pleasantly surprised with
what she found upon arriving
at West Shore Community
College. However, it did
require her to perform sev-
eral different duties during
the course of the day.
“Because we are the only
institution of higher learning
for miles around, we try to
do a little bit of everything,”
said Jurcevic. “We have aca-
demic classes, and non-per-
forming ensembles in vocal
and instrumental music.
Something else we do is
offer private lessons as they
are requested by different
students on instrument and
voice. There also are group
lessons, and the best way to
describe it is for guitar and
piano. They might just be
starting out, and don’t know
if they are going to stay with
that particular instrument.”
Something that has been
an added bonus for the
new professor of music was
the recent addition to the
college’s arts and sciences
building. It added some
much-needed space for the
music program that Jurcevic
is putting to good use.
“As we promote the
new facilities, it gives us the
chance to try new things,
such as offering a conducting
course this spring, and that
hasn’t
been
offered
before,”
said
Jurcevic.
“I feel as
the word
gets out
JURCEVIC
there will
be more people coming in.”
Some of the new options
that recent renovation
project added are practice
rooms and technology to
record music. This provides
many opportunities for the
the past.
“The practice rooms
have recording equipment in might be interested in taking
then playing it back,” said
Jurcevic. “We can also use it are interested in perform-
for making practice record-
ings for the Collegiates
group.
“I have used it for other
assignments where I have
put it right there that allows
laptop real easy. The stuff
is just the practice room,
let alone the piano lab or
instrumental vocal ensemble
Everything has a great fea-
ture to it.”
Jurcevic has learned that than what we currently play,
Manistee and Mason coun-
high school musical pro-
over the next couple of years has good numbers to it, but
with students coming to
WSCC.
“I sure hope what we
have added will open more
doors, as we already have a

schools,” said Jurcevic. “We
would very much like to
have more local students
come here even if they are
planning to get a four-year
degree, as it is an inexpen-

strong education not only in
music, but other areas. And
with the facilities being top-

riculum offered by the music
department and sees some
areas she would like to
expand to benefit the stu-
dents.
“I want to make sure
the music theory classes
are going to be accepted by
the four-year institutions
because they currently aren’t,
and I have some plans to
make that happen,” said
Jurcevic. “I want to keep the
music appreciation class,
and there is a need for a
music history class if there
are enough students that
plan to transfer to four-year
institutions as music majors.
I would like to see music the-
ory introduced, but I don’t
want to introduce it too soon
and have only two people
sign up for the class.”
One of the many things
that fall under her umbrella
as professor of music to over-
see the student singing group
known as the Collegiates. She
wants to expand its perfor-
mances to another level and
is looking on taking the act to
new levels.
“We are looking at tak-
ing the Collegiates to Europe
late in the spring or early in
the summer,” said Jurcevic.
“They are particularly excited
about it, but we also want to
take our program out to the
communty and show them
the wonderful message we
have to deliver.”
Jurcevic feels it is just
another way to have the best
kept secret in Manistee and
Mason counties become the
most enjoyed part of the
college. Over the course of
the next several months, she
plans on keeping the music
program moving forward
and growing so everyone
gain knowledge from it, but
also to enjoy what it has to
offer.
