Kay Flavin, Development Director

Today, potential donors are inter-ested in giving, even if their estate is small. Why? “It’s more about hoping to instill their philanthropic values in their offspring than about control of their money.” onwallstreet.12-2013.

The first step in considering chari-table giving is having a meeting with a financial advisor or development offi-cer to discuss your goals regarding your gifts, including charitable. Sharing in this discussion brings out your inter-ests and motivations. Together, you can then proceed with your legacy arrangements.

Many financial institutions are making charitable giving one of the twelve financial planning topics that they discuss with clients. Clients often discover that it is one of the most urgent issues. The U.S. Trust notes

that it is the conversation that explores a client’s passion for a cause or desire to have an impact, and not the techni-cal aspects like tax implications. This review is where one learns about their feelings and the importance of chari-table giving.

Donors need and expectations shift when the conversation is about giving while one is living. A current trend in research at Indiana University shows that donors increasingly want to have more of a hands-on approach while living and while active rather than including bequests in wills. The trend to be more active in charitable giving applies to modest donors as well as big donors. Donors have an interest in bringing their resources to a project. Today, people are living longer and/or making more money earlier in their lives.

First generation wealth creators want to have an impact with their giving and want to give during their lifetime. This choice is often about instilling philanthropic values in off-spring. Financial advisors and develop-ment professionals work with families to support parental desires in order to teach children the importance of charitable giving and how it can make a difference.

Giving a gift creates a feeling of well-being. Take a moment to think about how your giving can impact Bay View and the many ways Bay View has impacted you.

Donors Give More While They are Still Alive

Bay View’s Scarrow Friday Forum for July 25 will host Bay View member Anne Rouse, a U.S. Fulbright Scholar. The Fulbright Scholar program was founded in 1946 by U.S. Senator J. William Fulbright. This highly competitive program awards merit-based grants for international exchange for students, scholars, teachers, professionals, scientists, and artists for study and research. Rouse completed her Fulbright in Canada. Her topic is Life Cycle Assessment: Analyzing a Product’s Footprint. Held in Bay View’s Loud Hall, the presentation is free to the public and will run from 10:00-11:00 a.m. including a question and answer period for the audience.

Rouse’s topic involves Corporate America’s increasing desire to improve

sustainability. This has initiated demand for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) an emerging research approach used to analyze the impacts of product development and manufacturing on human health, resources, and ecosystems. LCA follows products from

raw material to consumer (cradle-to-gate) or raw material to disposal ( c r a d l e - t o - g r a v e ) , measuring all inputs and outputs along the supply chain: raw material acquisition, processing, manufacturing, use, and disposal. LCA can provide businesses with

insight for increased efficiencies, both environmentally and economically. This presentation introduces the concept of LCA and the research Rouse conducted during her U.S. Fulbright Scholarship. Her research is a LCA comparing natural hemp fiber materials

to petroleum-based materials. Research took place September 2013-May 2014.

Anne Rouse graduated from the University of Kentucky in 2010 and is currently in the process of getting her masters in Business Administration and International Environmental Policy at the Monterey Institute of International Studies, a graduate school of Middlebury College. She will graduate in 2015.

of Hemingway - and the owner of “Windemere,” the Hemingway family cottage on Walloon Lake where young Ernest Hemingway spent his first 21 summers.

The screening of this early edit of “Young Hemingway: Finding His Muse in Northern Michigan” will be fol-lowed by a reception at Evelyn Hall for two Hemingway Scholars who appear in the program, Professors Sandra Spanier and Linda Patterson Miller, both of Pennsylvania State University. Professor Spanier is the General Editor of the Ernest Hemingway Letters proj-ect and Prof. Miller is the Chair of the project’s Editorial Advisory Board.

The documentary, according to Dr. Colburn, was inspired by the publica-tion by Cambridge University Press in late 2011 of the first volume of Hemingway’s personal letters, 1907 –

1922. That volume, edited by Prof. Spanier and Professor and Prof. Robert Trogdon of Kent State University, will be on sale at the reception, Colburn said.

Admission to the screening is free, but attendees will have the opportunity to become a “Friend” of the project with a contribution to Contemporary Learning Systems, Inc., a 501 (c) (3) corporation that is raising produc-tion funds for the documentary and the educational modules that will be released for educational use via the internet.

Colburn, well known nationally for his many documentaries about Dwight D. Eisenhower, lives in Melrose Township, Charlevoix County. He moved his company’s opera-tions to Petoskey from Washington, D.C. in 1997. For more informa-

tion, visit the project website, www.HemingwaysMichigan.com.

This will be the first screening of major documentary segments in North America, Colburn said. An earlier screening took place on June 23 in Venice, Italy, at the interna-tional Hemingway Society conference, Colburn added. The Bay View screen-ing will offer a more complete version of the documentary, he noted, as he and editor Colin Brougham continue working on the program.

Attendees of the screening will be asked to submit comments about what they have viewed, Colburn said. “Such evaluations by potential viewers is all part of a documentary’s developmental process,” Colburn said, “and we appre-ciate the opportunity provided by Bay View Association officials to obtain comments from their residents.”

The 2013-2014 Relentless Tour: Ianni Project Stops in Bay View

Bay View Recreation welcomes Anthony Ianni to the Bay View cam-pus. Ianni one of the most sought after anti-bullying advocates in the state will be speaking to campers at the July 21st Hot Dog Roast at 6:15 p.m.

The 2013-2014 Relentless Tour: Ianni Project is a first of its kind initiative designed to help eradicate bullying across the state of Michigan. The MSU grad was the first individual recognized with autism to play col-lege basketball. He was diagnosed with autism at a young age and was told he would never graduate, never play sports and likely have to live in a group home for his entire adult life. He was bullied extensively as a child because of his autism and the fact that he shot up to his 6’ 9’’at an early age. Anthony defied all of the odds and graduated from MSU with a degree in Sociology and played college ball that included two trips to the Big Ten Championships and a Final Four visit as well.

Individuals with autism are one of the highest targeted groups to be the victims of a bully with numbers ranging from 65-90%. Join Anthony Monday night as he spreads the word to stop bullying.

Recreation This Week



The Town Crier

The Bay View Woods which we see today is the product of thousands of years of development. 14,000 years ago a huge and deep ice sheet -– two miles thick – covered Bay View and almost all of Michigan. That ice sheet came over this area a number of times. This process left the hills, bulldozed out the lakes, including the Great Lakes, created the topography and controlled the development of the vegetation and forests.

The Two Rivers ice sheet formed the high ridge that we know of as the Upper Woods of Bay View. When you walk in the Bay View Woods and look at the ravines which come down out of the upper woods, dropping in elevation 80 or 90 feet, you should recall that this hillside was formed about 11,400 years ago.

We are not quite sure whether the American mastodons and the mammoths were in this area or not.

We do know that they were abundant in central lower Michigan. If the mastodons were not here, certainly the woodland muskox, now Arctic inhabitants, were here at that time.

Lake Michigan was preceded by the massive ancient Lake Algonquin 8,500 years ago. The waters of Lake Algonquin lapped against the ridge of the Bay View Woods. The cottage sites of Bay View were covered by 20 or 30 feet of water.

5,000 years ago the summers were longer and winters were less severe. Due to the retreat of the glaciers, the surface of the land was gradually rising. This era is known as the Nipissing Lake stage. U.S.31 and the railroad line in Bay View follow the Nipissing shoreline.

Today, the terraces and ridges throughout the Bay View cottage area were the intermediate beaches and terraces between the older and higher Algonquin shore and the younger Nipissing level. As Lake Nipissing retreated, the high sand dunes of the Petoskey State Park were formed and

Round Lake became separated from what is now Lake Michigan.

The Bay View Woods is a complex ecosystem. It is not a population of trees on a hillside. It is, like the rest of the legacy of Bay View, a gift from the past.

The above article was condensed from a presentation made by Dr. Ronald O. Kapp of Alma College at the Bay View Library Night, July 10, 1987.

Today’s Terrain Reveals Bay View’s Ancient Past

Experience the ancient history of Bay View for yourself on this guided Woods Walk led by Woods Advisory Committee member Tracy Datlen. The one-mile trail will involve one steep uphill climb and one steep descent. The majority of the terrain will be level, but uneven. A hiking stick or walking poles recommended for balance. We will take our time to explore the natural features and allow participants to rest as needed. Allow at least one hour to complete the walk. If you don’t wish to hike to the top, join us for the first leg of the trip. You’ll get to see the shoreline of Lake Algonquin and the interesting sights on the way.

Meet at Gateway Trail entrance on Knapp Ave. “A” on the map. Route will follow Algonquin Trail uphill at “B” on the map and downhill at “C”.

Algonquin Trail Guided Woods Walk - 3:30 p.m. Monday, July 21

The Old Indian Trail Woods Walk on July 14 attracted 23 participants. The walk included a brief history of the Bay View Woods and explanation of the unique ecosystem. The walk was led by Tracy Datlen with plant identifications by Sherman Shultz and Janet Scarrow.



Bay View Music Festival Presents Local Premiere This Sunday“By Request,” a special Sunday

Sunset Vespers Concert featuring music requested by our audience over the years. This concert will also feature the regional premiere of Kelly Hale’s American Hymn Requiem, featuring faculty and student artists. The con-cert will be held in Hall Auditorium and begins at 8 p.m.

Repertoire planned includes the Pearl Fishers duet, selections from Carmen, Porgy and Bess, Puccini, and the annual preview of the musi-cal, which is Les Misérables this year. In addition, the evening features this work by Dr. Hale, so we thought we’d sit down to ask him about the piece.

REQUIEM Backstory

Q & A with Kelly Hale, Composer of AN AMERICAN HYMN REQUIEM on the Vesper Concert Sunday Night

Q: Why did you write this Requiem?

A: The idea actually came to me in a dream, which is unusual because I normally do not remember dreams after sleeping. It occurred in 1996 and the "Ordinary" movements came in rather quick succession.

Q: Why is it named like it is?

A: There already was AN AMERICAN REQUIEM; that is a huge piece that was premiered and tele-cast from the Washington National Cathedral. My composition, being based mostly on old American hymn tunes and texts, deserved a more

distinctive name, so I used the word HYMN as part of the title.

Q: Where did the tunes come from?

A: Most of them were part of my growing up in a Southern Baptist Church. Methodists and certainly many others will recognize them. One I borrowed from the Episcopal Hymnal 1982, only to find out after I decided to use it that the composer was Canadian. Another is a tune that I composed on a flight to Europe after seeing a breathtaking sunset out the window of the plane; I named it "Horizon."

Q: Where has this been performed?

A: It has been performed in Cincinnati, Dayton, Royal Oak and Ann Arbor, as well as in Zürich, Switzerland, just last year.

Q: What is the Bay View connec-tion?

A: Twofold. First, the words of the Offertory were written by the Rev. Wesley Hager in a publication called MESSAGES. Dr. Hager gave me another text back in 1991 that he wanted me to set to music, even though I had never composed before. He opened the door to another dimen-sion of music in my life and I am grateful to him. We seemed to have a special connection; I last saw him on his birthday and he died on my birthday. Secondly, several summer people heard a performance down-

state and asked to hear it here...By Request. I am very grateful that the Bay View choir will sing it and the Bay View audience have the opportunity to hear it.

Q: What about the dedication?

A: It is dedicated to my father, who was an old-time fiddler, as well as the "song leader" in my home church. My earliest musical experience was climbing up on the piano bench and picking out chords to accompany him, so he was, in essence, my first ear training teacher. My mother was still living when he died in 1989; I hope to compose another work in her memory.

Q: How do you see this taking its place in the repertoire?

A: The first few times it was per-formed, it was the music for a liturgy of Eucharist, or Holy Communion, and each movement took place as part of a larger worship service. Recently it has been performed "in concert." Both have proven equally effective; it seems to speak to people in a pro-found way and for that I'm glad.

Q: When was it finished?

A: Not until 2004. The Ecclesiastes dates from 1998, but the Pie Jesu just didn't show up until eight years after I began. Pie Jesu is, in many ways, the heart of every Requiem and when it finally came through, the AMERICAN HYMN REQUIEM was finished.

Paleo Joe Visits the Bay View Library July 19Geologists, fossil hunters, dinosaur lovers, and rock hounds ages 4 and up can discover northern Michigan's fossil treasures with Paleo Joe on Saturday, July 19 at 10:00 a.m. at the Bay View Library.

TUNES and TOTS with Melissa Ludwa is a fun and interactive musi-cal experience designed for children 4 years and younger (including infants) with an accompanying adult recom-mended for each child. This free pro-gram is offered by the Bay View Music Festival and there will be three ses-sions on Wednesdays, July 23 and 30. On those days, come to Evelyn Hall at 11:30 am for a young child-friendly lunch, and then join Melissa for TUNES and TOTS right after the Noon bells ring.

Melissa Ludwa, lifelong singer, made her debut singing The Rainbow Connection at age three on a float in a small-town homecoming parade. Her earliest musical memory is of the Kookaburra song, which her moth-er sang as a lullaby. Melissa’s father taught high school band and she can recall learning to play the piano by

placing her hands on top of her grand-mother’s hands while they played Christmas carols.

Melissa and her family recent-ly moved to Cleveland from Indianapolis where she had oppor-tunities to engage in both solo and ensemble music, ranging from tradi-tional a cappella choral repertoire to classical masterworks to vocal jazz.

A graduate of Butler University, she has not only fed her passion for sing-ing throughout her career, but has also enjoyed working as a high school guidance counselor and independent college consultant. Melissa is also a trained drum circle facilitator through Remo HealthRHYTHMS. Mom to two young boys, and wife and partner to conductor and singer Chris Ludwa, she likes to call herself the Head Chef, Wrangler, Trash Lady and Cuddler of their small, but mighty kingdom, Ludwalia.

Come to TUNES and TOTS Wednesdays in July and have fun learning new songs and activities that you can do with your young ones. Any questions may be directed to Jill Marderness at 480-277-9374. Jill serves as Youth Music Coordinator in addition to being resident bassoonist with the Bay View Music Festival.

An invasive plant, often called “Snow on the Mountain,” can be seen widely in Bay View. It has a charac-teristic green and white leaf which is quite attractive, but it spreads aggres-sively by rootlets and by seeds and chokes out most other plants. While the Latin name is Aegopodium, it is also known as Bishop’s Weed or Goutweed. (Bishops are quite fine people and gout is a most unpleasant condition, so Goutweed is an appro-priate nickname!)

Alas, ‘Snow on the Mountain’ has an equally invasive cousin with solid

green leaves, making it easy to hide among other plants. A few years ago it sneaked into our Memorial Garden and spread rapidly across the entire east end of the garden. For several seasons our Saturday morning volun-teers have spent many hours digging it out, but we were fast losing the battle, so last fall we finally removed all of the plants in that area – hostas, daisies, lilac and the large Baffin rose. Now we are continuing the battle by covering the area with ugly plastic for the remainder of this season in an attempt to smother it out.

Please be patient with us as we struggle to eradicate the weed, and if you have it in your yard you might want to join the battle. If you see white blooms resembling ‘Queen Anne’s Lace’ sticking up among other plants, you well may have an infesta-tion of goutweed. For more infor-mation check Aegopodium on the internet. Meanwhile, we hope you will come down and enjoy the rest of the Memorial Garden; it is lovely in full bloom!

Chamber Music Performance: “Gems from the Eastern Block” July 23

The Bay View Music Festival will present Gems from the Eastern Bloc as part six of its Chamber Music Series on Wednesday, July 23rd at 8 p.m. This event, featuring Bay View’s talented faculty musicians, is open to the public with tickets available from $13.50. This week’s concert takes place, not in Bay View, but at the First Presbyterian Church in Harbor Springs.

The concert opens with Czech composer Leos Janacek’s delightful wind quintet, Mladi (Youth), written in 1924. The quintet, with its blocks of strong harmonies and repetitive

melodies influenced by the contours of his native folk music, was written late in Janacek’s life and is considered an outgrowth of his “youthful mood.” Following Janacek’s composition is Antonin Dvorak’s Piano Quintet No. 2, Op. 81, a perennial favorite. This piece, which premiered in 1888, also contains elements of Czech folk music and alternates between sweet mel-ancholy and the spirited rhythms of Bohemian dance. Together, these songs illustrate the importance of her-itage on these musicians and provide a sense of the traditional sounds of the Eastern Bloc.

Les Misérables – July 24, 25 and 26Les Misérables, winner of over 100

international awards and seen by over 65 million people, the musical sweeps audiences through an epic tale of broken dreams, passion and redemp-tion, against the backdrop of a nation seething with revolution. Grand and uplifting, Les Misérables packs an emotional wallop that has thrilled audiences all over the world. With tickets starting at just $15, it’s never been easier to join in the grandeur of this musical phenomenon. All perfor-mances will be held in John M. Hall Auditorium.

Originally premiering in London in 1985, Les Misérables is a sung-through musical adaptation of Victor Hugo’s novel of the same name. Beginning in 1815 and culminating in the 1832 June Rebellion in Paris, the story follows the lives and interactions of several characters, focusing on the struggles of ex-convict Jean Valjean and his experience of redemption. It features familiar, beloved characters

such as Eponine, Cosette and Valjean, and songs including “On My Own,” “Castle on a Cloud,” and “At the End of the Day.” Exploring themes of love, compassion, grace, and social justice in nineteenth-century France through gorgeous music by Claude-Michel Schönberg and an English-language libretto by Herbert Kretzmer, this epic musical is not to be missed.

Parental Advisory – Be aware that while Les Misérables is one of the best selling musicals of all time, it address-es weighty topics, including prostitu-tion, drinking, and debauchery. Many of the more graphic lyrics in the show are inferred and may pass right over a young audience member's head. Others are not subtle at all and are explicit. At the heart of Hugo's novel, Schoenberg's musical score, and our performance are themes of forgive-ness, unconditional love, brother-hood, and faith. We encourage you to use this to start a dialogue about your values and the content of the show,

should you choose to bring younger children. (NOTE: If you have bought already and would like a refund for this reason, please see the box office).

The Town Crier

Come to Evelyn Hall Porch on Thursday, July 24 at 11:30 a.m. to meet the person who takes the set design plans and turns them into the sets for Les Misérables and Cosí fan tutte. Ryan Ethridge is the Scenic Shop Foreman this summer and is delighted to be in Bay View to help bring these two remarkable produc-tions to life onstage.

Ryan is from Kansas City and is currently attending Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Missouri which is just

north of St. Louis. He is double majoring in Technical Theater Design and Christian Ministry Studies with a

minor in Music. If you have spotted a young man with long, red curly hair masterfully steer-ing a skateboard on the streets of Bay View, that is Ryan. His hair will be much shorter, though, at Behind the Scenes as he is donating his hair to a young girl whose family he got to know from performing with a

vocal quartet at a children’s hospital this past year. She lost her long, red

curly hair due to chemotherapy treat-ments, and Ryan agreed to grow his long so she could have a wig of hair that is like what she had. Ryan is one remarkable human being!

Come to Behind the Scenes on July 24 to meet Ryan and learn about the process that happens to bring you the theater production sets you will see in Bay View this summer. Free and open to inquisitive minds of all ages, faculty bassoonist and Youth Music Coordinator Jill Marderness invites you to meet a special guest each session to discover what happens “Behind the Scenes” at the Bay View Music Festival!

Their hit YouTube anti-bullying video “Stronger,” featured on CNN and the Huffington Post, has inspired students around the globe. Their packed 2012/13 season saw the release of their second

album, a return to Carnegie Hall, their first tour of Asia, the world premiere of a new concerto by William Bolcom, and their continuing residency with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. In addition to its demanding performing schedule, the trio is committed to reaching younger audiences and has participated in a number of educational residencies and outreach concerts including annual visits to Paul Newman’s Hole In The Wall

Gang Camp for children with terminal illnesses; week long residencies at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC; Carnegie Hall’s Family Concerts; and countless jam sessions and impromptu music-making with students, anywhere from university classes to pizza parties and coffee houses. “The guys” want to share their infectious love of music with everyone.

Bay View Gives Back to Local Community

Time for ThreeContinued from the front page.



UPDATE – Cottage Conversations have begun, and the participation has been profound. People are speaking deeply and listening with care – and learning so much that they didn’t know about one another. The shared truth that emerges – on the part of all – is enduring love of Bay View.

To date there have been thirteen Cottage Conversations and the response has been extremely positive. Comments from participants include:

•“The conversation in which I participated was good and I’m glad I signed up for it”

•“I was initially skeptical of the process but, having participated, am now a firm supporter of it.”

•“I think many people had become apprehensive that the discussion of the issues with people who didn’t agree with them had become too difficult—this process should allay those concerns.”

Cottage Conversations will continue through Friday, July 25th. All are encouraged to participate. Sign-up forms remain available in the Administration Office, and you may register through Monday, July 21st.

Deep thanks to the gracious hosts of the Cottage Conversations and vol-unteer facilitators who are making all this possible.

There were resounding agree-ments of "Yes" which delighted his heart. Photo: Laura Smith

The Town Crier

Parking is at a Premium. Please Walk or Bike When in Bay View.

Help us accommodate members with mobility problems and help us welcome the surrounding community and visitors to Northern Michigan by saving our parking spaces for those that need to drive in Bay View to enjoy our many events. The Building & Grounds Committee encourages you to take advantage of the close proximity of the buildings in Bay View and walk to your destinations this summer. When you leave your keys at home our parking spaces will be open for our guests or members who need to drive. We recognize that parking is at a premium, especially

during popular events, but hope the busy streets of Bay View can be qui-eted down by getting our community walking.

Did you walk today? You’re taking steps in the right direction!

Your Buildings and Grounds Committee has 10 reasons to leave the car behind:

1. Great way to meet friends and neighbors.

2. Safer for our kids.

3. See & smell beautiful flowers at cottages.

4. It’s cleaner.

5. It’s cheaper.

6. It’s much healthier.

7. No need to find the car keys or stress out looking for a parking space.

8. You’ll hear all that beautiful music on campus.

9. It’s friendlier to our up-north neighbors who must drive to events.

10. You’ll feel good about yourself.

And, because we couldn’t stop at 10:

11. A good chance to show of those new shoes you picked up at sidewalk days.

Let’s leave a little earlier and enjoy a good walk!

A Step in the Right Direction

Sailing ScoopSaturday Sunfish Races Return to Little Traverse Bay

The 2014 Saturday Sunfish Racing Series began last Saturday, July 12, 2014. Five boats entered the balmy (60 degree) water, ready to face the triangular racecourse. Winds from the southwest ranged from 5-8 knots and the Bay View dock blocked this wind. This wind direction made crossing the finish line entertaining, to say the least.

Here are the results of the three races: (* denotes skipper in non-single racing classes)

1st Race “Goin’ Solo – Under 16” (first solo race!!! Yeah, Taylor!) 1st Place– Taylor Blackburn - (25:38)

“Goin’ Solo – WAY over 16” 1st Place – John Schloff - (17:34)

“Dad and Daughter” 1st Place – Charles & Sophie* Holmes -(18:39)

“Double Camper Division” 1st Place

– Evan Kirpatrick & Calder Lewis* - (29:47)

“Leader/Camper Division”1st Place - Hannah Heydinger* & Will Goelz – (20:07)

2nd Race“Goin’ Solos- WAY over 16” 1 s t Place – John Schloff – (18:03)

“Intergenerational Division”

1st Place - Charles & Sophie* Holmes – (16:08)

2nd Place – John* & Sarah Schloff

– (16:54)

3rd Place – Taylor Blackburn* & Rocky Rosacker – (17:24)

(Yes…Taylor admits to acciden-tally stepping on Rocky as they tipped to port precariously after crossing the finish line. Rocky went overboard, Taylor jumped to the high side and kept the boat from capsizing, as the crowd on the dock cheered!)

“Double Camper Division”

1st Place – Evan Kirpatrick & Calder Lewis* - (21:57)

“Leader/Camper Division”

1st Place – Hannah Heydinger*, Will Goelz – (18:23)
