The Bay View Scarrow Friday Forum will host former Petoskey News-Review Editor and Publisher Ken Winter for his engaging presentation, What’s Next? Where is the News Media Headed? The event is Friday, July 29, from 10-11:00 a.m. at Loud Hall on the Bay View campus. Winter who currently teaches at North Central Michigan College in Petoskey and Michigan State University is a member of the Michigan Journalism Hall of Fame and has served twice as a Pulitzer Prize Jurist.

A Lansing native, Winter is a graduate of Michigan State University’s School of Journalism, and Ferris State University, where he earned his Master’s Degree in Education (MEd) in Curriculum and Instruction with highest distinction. He was the recipient of the NEH National Fellowship for Journalists (now Knight/Wallace National Fellowship), and stud-ied law and history at the University of Michigan Law School for nine months. In December 2013, the former editor and publisher earned a second Master’s

Degree. This time it was in political sci-ence from Central Michigan University, where he was admitted to National Political Science Honor Society.

Winter serves on the Government Relations Committee for the Petoskey Regional Chamber of Commerce, the Crooked Tree Arts Council, Leadership Little Traverse Mentorship Team and is a

past president and member of the Kiwanis Club of Petoskey. Statewide, he is past president of the Michigan Press Association Foundation Board of Governors for the Central Michigan University Clarke Historical Library, Michigan Political Science Association board member and is an editorial advisor for the Center for Michigan’s “Bridge” online news magazine.

Reflecting on the topic he will address on Friday, Winter states, “Never since 1690, when the first American newspaper was published, has there been as much uncertainty about the news media. It’s anyone’s guess where American newspapers are headed after Publick Occurrences, Foreign and Domestick, printed by Richard Pierce and edited by Benjamin Harris in Boston on September 25, 1690. Will they continue another 300 years or die as some predict? Why are billionaire Warren Buffett and others investing in newspapers today?”

On Monday, July 11 the Woman’s Council was honored to present Hospice of Little Traverse Bay with a check for $500. The check was presented to Maurika Reed by Kathy Duquette, President of the Bay View Woman’s Council at the weekly Woman’s Council Board Meeting. Ms. Reed is the Major Gifts Officer for McLaren Northern Michigan and its affiliates, which includes the Hospice Programs. Hospice of Little Traverse Bay received the check as part of the Women’s Council grant process.

Bay View Woman’s Council feels strongly that we are part of a larger com-munity. We are able to support both Bay View and surrounding community programs based on our annual fund rais-ers. Woman’s Council was able to lend support through $7000 in grants this year.

2016 Election Information

Learn about the successes and chal-lenges of serving the homeless population in Northern Michigan in a presentation on Tuesday, July 26 at 7:30 p.m. in the Campus Club. Mike and Gale Walker will speak on the Nehemiah Project, which has been serving the homeless in Petoskey since 1988. The Project pro-vides guests with the basics of shelter and food to meet physical needs, while guests work to rebuild their lives.

The Nehemiah Project is a shel-ter serving the homeless in Northern Michigan in the name of Jesus. In 2014, the shelter provided 7,085 bed nights to 204 total guests. 122 men, 70 women, and 12 children. 14,100 meals were served and 12,755 volun-teer hours were served.

Bible Studies are held twice a week and introduce guests to a wide variety of community members who listen, encour-age and mentor. Guests are

encouraged to seek reconciliation and restoration with God, their families and themselves.

Guests are encouraged to seek employ-ment and try and achieve financial inde-pendence during their stay. They are also connected with community organiza-tions to assist them with other needs to insure a successful transition back into the community.

A common question is “How long may a guest stay at the shelter”? Guest length of stay is dependent upon motiva-

tion, ability and demonstration of effort to accomplish their goals. Motivated guests may stay up to 90 days as they work to rebuild their lives.

The shelter is open from 5 p.m. until 8 a.m. each day. The Nehemiah and Mary Margaret Houses are closed to guests from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. During this time guests are encouraged to seek activi-ties that will support their independence.

This event is free and everyone is invited. The Campus Club building is located behind the Bay View Post Office.

This presentation is part of the Tuesday evening lecture series. Campus Club also offers outdoor croquet, lawn bowling, and shuffleboard during the day and indoor games on Thursday evenings. Newcomers, families and beginners are always wel-come to drop in.

The Cedar: Tree of the WeekThe “Big Cedar”

Have you ever wondered about the tree stump preserved on our Bay View campus? What is it and why is it pre-served?

Archived and oral history tell us that

“Big Cedar” fell circa 1896. It had been growing in the Bay View woods, and according to its rings, it began growing years before America was discovered by Europeans. It is not clear whether the top fell at that time or was cut. A portion of the tree was preserved and protected by a sheet of roll roofing which was secured in place by a steel hoop a few inches down from the top of the trunk. It is presently protected by a steel top, still secured by the original hoop. Although it has been moved several times around campus over the last 100 years, it stands today overlooking the croquet court at Campus Club.

Cedar trees of Northern Michigan

The Cedar, and particularly the White Cedar, can live over 800 years. The White Cedar grows well in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and the northern part of the Lower Peninsula. Most people recognize it from their unique leaves and its brown and stringy bark. Foliage is a series of overlapping scales. Cones are under a half-inch long and look more like capsules than cones. Mature trees usually grow 40 to 50 feet

in height with trunk diameters of up to 2 or 3 feet. They grow especially well in limestone soils along Lake Michigan.

The wood of the cedar trees is very resistant to disease. It has a pleasant smell due to natural oils that are toxic to insects and fungus, making it a good choice for landscaping in this area.

Behind the Scenes, a series of casu-al “informances” with faculty and staff from the Bay View Music Festival, meets twice more this summer on Thursdays July 28 and August 4. Join the multi-talented Nick Gisonde on Thursday, July 28 at 11:30 a.m. on the Evelyn Hall Porch and learn about the art of creat-ing fight scenes that look real but are perfectly safe, and all the other things Nick does to help the SOARS, musical and opera productions of the Bay View Music Festival.

Behind the Scenes is free and open to the public. All ages are welcome but the intent is mainly for curious adults who

want to find out more about the festival artists and their role in helping make the Bay View Music Festival events happen.

Nick Gisonde returned to Bay View this summer as the stage and fight direc-tor for the Opera a la Carte program of the SOARS Program, and also for the musical production Evita and opera pro-duction “Cenerentola” which opens on August 3 at 8 p.m. in Hall Auditorium. Additionally, Nick worked sound for

Evita and was the audio/sound designer for the Festival 2004 to 2006.

Based in New York, Nick is active as an actor and stunt man having appeared on Broadway in the Tony Award Winning Revival, “A View from A Bridge” with Anthony LaPaglia and Allison Janney as well as serving as fight captain. Some of his favorite roles include Laertes in “Hamlet,” Rodrigo in “El Cid” and creating the role of Clunette in “The Battle of Shallowford.” Of course he like to think that his favor-ite role is that of husband to resident art-ist, soprano Risa Renae Harman!

Disney’s fantastic tale of redeeming love takes the stage in Voorhies Hall when Bay View Youth Theatre pres-ents “Beauty and the Beast, Jr.” Based on the original Broadway production that ran for over thirteen years and was nominated for nine Tony Awards, and the Academy Award-winning motion picture, “Disney’s Beauty and the Beast JR.” is a fantastic adaptation of the story of transformation and toler-ance. “Disney’s Beauty and the Beast

JR.” features some of the most popular songs ever written by Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman, along with new songs by Mr. Menken and Tim Rice. RIGHT: Children from the cast of Beauty and the Beast, Jr. entertained guests at the Woman’s Council luncheon on Sunday. Pictured are Isabel Dunn, Ezra Franseth, David Valladares, Grace Bolton, and student director Katie Joachim. Donations accepted at the door.

Beauty and the Beast in Bay View for Four ShowsSaturday, July 23 and Sunday, July 24 2 p.m. & 4 p.m. at Voorhies Hall

Rossini’s dramatic retelling of the beloved fairy tale “Cinderella” takes the stage of Hall Auditorium from Wednesday, August 3 - Saturday, August 6 at 8 p.m.

This work is one of the most popular in the entire operatic canon, with both beautiful and virtuosic tunes throughout, each penned by the man who wrote the catchy “Barber of Seville” so prevalently referenced in Bugs Bunny cartoons and other commercial use. The performance is the culmination of over 60 collegiate singers and instrumentalists who have

come to study with the Bay View faculty for five weeks and represents one of the most intricate, multi-faceted art forms. Cinderella, known in Italian as La Cenerentola, is appropriate for families. The show will be sung in Italian with English super-titles. Ticket prices are $25 and $28 reserved seating and free for children under 18 years of age.

The Monday, July 25th guided Woods Walk will start at the Water Street Tennis Courts and explore the western-most trails of the Bay View Woods. Plenty of parking is available in the tennis court lot. We’ll meet in the parking area and then walk behind the tennis courts where there is a trail head that leads to Memorial Trail and the unnamed, informal trails in the woods.

The walk will begin at 3:30 pm and last about an hour. Tracy Datlen of the Woods Advisory Committee will lead the walk and answer any questions participants may have along the way. At this time of year participants should expect to see summer wildflowers, mush-rooms and ferns along the trails. This area of the woods is level, low-lying and moist. Expect to get your shoes muddy and dress accordingly. In addition to our native wild plants, we’ll be on the lookout for non-native and invasive plant species.

Non-native plants arrive in natu-ral areas through a variety of methods: plants “escape” from nearby gardens and seeds that are carried by birds, ani-mals or simply on the wind. Some of the non-native plants and blooms can appear quite attractive. Non-natives only represent a problem when they disrupt and displace our natural ecosystem. Our native habitat in the Bay View Woods hosts a huge variety of plants, birds and animals that interact with each other.

When non-native plants become too numerous, they can degrade the overall health of the woods.

A highly visible invasive plant is myrtle (aka periwinkle or vinca) which blankets the forest floor and prevents trees and wildflowers from growing. In this time of significant tree loss, it is critical that new seedlings can take root and become the tall trees of our future woods. The very characteristics that makes myrtle such a wonderful garden plant make it a menace to a natural

environment. The densely packed leaves make a care-free ground cover that pre-vents weeds from growing around your cottage will prevent wildflowers and trees from growing in our woods.

The last scheduled Woods Walk of the season will be held on August 1st and will explore the upper woods near Division Road. Look for details in the next Town Crier.

Monday Woods Walk begins at Water Street Tennis Courts

The teams played a four game series in which each winning team was required to move to a different court and play a losing team from the previous game. The winning team was the “Holy Rollers” team of Bill Tomkinson and John Santinga. They accomplished an amazing 4 wins out of 4 games. While Bill is the more experienced player on that team, John has proven to be just as skillful. Congratulations to both Bill and John.

The inspiration for the museum tent display began with the donation of a tent frame that had been shipped to the Methodist Camp Ground Bay View, Michigan. The tent frame was found under the cottage at Block 25 Lot 3 and donated to the museum by Dennis Gazso. With the assistance from Micah Kliemert, owner of Traverse Bay Canvas,

the museum purchased an authentic period tent canvas from Tentsmiths of Conway, New Hampshire. The muse-um thanks Joe Higgins for his help in setting up the tent and making the tent frame leg extensions. The display was made possible with a donation from the William Davis Green Foundation.

Bay View performances bring in thousands of people from all over Michigan. Many audience members do not realize the amount of work that goes into making a performance happen. Someone has to control the lights and sound for the performers on stage. One of those “hidden” people is Christian Slater, a 15-year-old who started working with lights and sounds in sixth grade at Petoskey Middle School.

Now, Christian is in his second sum-mer working at Bay View as a tech personnel. He has many responsibilities such as; controlling the way people on

stage are seen and heard and making sure the lectures and movies run flaw-lessly. These tasks demand stamina and Christian enjoys every minute of it! When Christian is not working at Bay View he can be found spending time with his family. He appreciates visiting his grandparents and helping them with anything they might need. He has three brothers and two sisters, and is the son of Dr. And Mrs. Slater. In his free time, Christian enjoys; swimming, 4-wheel-ing, mowing the grass, washing the car and playing Hay Day on his phone. He attends Petoskey High School, where he will be a sophomore this fall. He plays

Baritone in the high school marching band and it may come as no surprise that he also does the lights and sound for school plays and productions.

When Christian graduates, he hopes to become a pilot and maybe work in stage production. If you want to catch Christian in Bay View, he is typically at Voorhies Hall in the morning, and Hall Auditorium in the afternoon. Next time you are there to enjoy an event, find Christian, and tell him ‘Hello’ and that his big sister, Dara, (that’s me) said ‘Get to work.’’

The Town Crier

Please Join me in the Fight Against CancerDear Friends,In December I discovered these cozy

bits of inspiration during my month-long stay with caregivers at the medical center hotel in Houston. My sweet friend Julie McGee gave me a pair of Note to Self’s “I am Blessed” socks as a little gift of inspiration. The socks were a reminder of all the blessings in my life!

I contacted the company’s owner to see if she would be willing to help me in the fight against cancer, and she happily agreed to offer me a discount, so for each pair you order or buy through me, I will be able to make approximately a dona-tion of $3.50 per pair of low-cut socks sold to the American Cancer Society (ACS).

With Love and Gratitude,Stephanie Reed

THE WAY IT WORKS:In order to get the agreed-upon dis-

count that allows me to make the 35% donation, I have to place the orders of $135 or more using MY ACCOUNT AND CREDIT CARD. I am still paying for shipping, but I have factored that in to the donation. I will need your pay-ment in advance of the order with check or cash, and I will make the donation in memory of Chris Asbury and Patrick McGee.

Low-cut socks for the cause are $10 per pair. If you have a larger order (over $135), I can have orders shipped to your address. You can visit their website at notestoself.com, but if you place an order directly from the company, the cancer donation will not occur. I am hoping we can change that at some point, but for now this is what I have been able to work out, and for that I AM GRATEFUL!!

A unique lawn concert is set for Monday evening, July 25 on the lawn of one of Bay View’s most picturesque cottages overlooking the bay and sunset. The talented musicians in the Jeremy Kittel Trio will play original music rooted in jazz, Celtic, classical and bluegrass on the lawn at the Straty cottage, 1458 Glendale Avenue start-ing at 7:30 p.m. The concert is free, but donations are invited. The show is a collaboration between the Bay View Music Festival and the Bay View Beacons of Culture, an effort to bring emerging artists and more current sounds to the community as a casual “pop-up” show with a private cottage-owner as host.

“Bring a blanket, a thermos of your favorite summer beverage and enjoy a fantastic view while getting to know these highly talented and experienced musicians,” said Arthur Anderson, who along with the Beacons brought indie rock musician Heather Maloney to the Straty lawn last summer.

The Jeremy Kittel Trio is an international group with Jeremy (a Saline, Michigan native, now in

New York) on fiddle, Josh Pinkham (New Jersey) on mandolin and Quinn Bachand (Vancouver) on guitar. Kittel is an American fiddler, violinist, and com-poser. Fluent in multiple musical genres,

his original music draws from traditional roots, jazz, Celtic, Classical, electronic, and more. In addition to his own proj-ects, he has composed and arranged for such artists as Abigail Washburn, Aoife

O’Donovan, My Morning Jacket, Camera Obscura, Jars of Clay, Yo Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble, Laura Veirs, and the Grammy-winning Turtle Island Quartet (of which he was a member for five years).

Check out the sounds of Jeremy Kittel on Spotify, iTunes, YouTube or at JeremyKittel.com.

The rain date is Tuesday, July 26 and will be called at 4:00 p.m. on July 25. Follow #BayViewPopUp on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram for details and news. For more information or to volunteer at the show, contact Tim Sparling, [email protected] or Sue Collins at 404-545-4406.
