Bay View’s Fourth of July Festivities This year’s Bay View’s July 4th parade

will begin like always at 10:00 a.m. by the Post Office steps. The route will be the same as years past. The route, which is just over 1/2 mile from start to finish, is an easy walk for anyone who wants to participate. Cottagers and the public are encouraged to either participate in the parade or find a comfortable spot along the parade route to enjoy this great Bay View tradition. The parade ends at Voorhies Hall where everyone can get close up views of the fire truck and cars that participated. Ken Mainland, Fire

Truck driver and Boy Scout leader will be available at Voorhies to take and properly dispose of worn out American flags.

If you have a car that you would like to show off in the parade, just meet in front of the Women’s Council building about 9:35 a.m. Every year we try to add new and more exciting things to the event.

This year the rain cancellation policy, will be the same as always: that in the event of more than a light drizzle, the parade will be cancelled until next year. We do not expect to implement this policy.

Following the parade at 11:00 a.m. will be the annual reading of the Declaration of Independence on the Hall Auditorium steps.

If you need more information about entering, location or time please contact the parade master, Ric Loyd at 347-8294 or email [email protected].

Please have a Happy, Safe 4th of July.

Fourthfest Concert Monday

Celebrating America’s Independence Day, Bay View Music Festival will present a night of entertainment focused on that topic. The concert has been hailed as the most patriotic event of the summer and features free admission for kids under 18 as Bay View presents its annual “Fourthfest,” a patriotic concert experience.

The concert takes place in Hall Auditorium and begins at 8 p.m. Bay View members can attend the concert for free by showing their Membership Card. Tickets for non-members are $16.50 for adults. The event will be finished in plenty of time for the fireworks, so crowds often bring their chairs, leave them outside the auditorium, and then enjoy an informal parade to the bluff after the show to watch not just one, but two (Petoskey’s and Harbor Springs’) pyrotechnic displays in the sky over Little Traverse Bay.

Fourthfest, a long-time favorite of northern Michigan audiences, puts a refreshing spin on programming as it

Summer is in full swing, which means Bay View is thriving with family members and friends. With so many people enjoying all that Bay View has to offer, in a relatively small geographic area, now is the time to remind everyone of the rules and regulations that allow neighbors to peacefully coexist. Please try to consider how your actions and activities affect the people around you, and take a moment to read the Rules of Personal Conduct in the Bay View Association By-Laws. Here are a few key rules to keep in mind as we’re heading into the busiest holiday weekend of the year.

By-Law 59: Controlled Substances and Alcoholic Beverages. Controlled substances are not permitted anywhere in Bay View except in accordance with the Controlled Substances Act. Persons in violation of this provision subject themselves to prosecution. Alcoholic beverages are not permitted in any of the public buildings or on the public grounds of the Association.

60. Weapons, Firearms and Fireworks. Personas shall not use any firearms,

air guns, slingshots, fireworks or other dangerous weapons or instrumentalities in Bay View.

61. Breach of Peace. No person shall: a. Create or engage in any disturbance, fight or quarrel within any public area of the Association; c. Disturb the public peace and quiet by loud boisterous conduct on any leasehold or public area of the Association; e. Utter profane, obscene, or injurious language directed at or in the presence of another person, which language causes or would tend to cause an immediate breach of peace; f. Allow any of the following to occur in a manner so as to cause a breach of the peace: unmuffled exhausts from motor driven vehicles, unnecessary sounding of horns, sirens or signal, appliances, boisterous persons, excessive volume of radios, phonographs, televisions, musical instruments or loudspeaker attachments, and barking dogs uncontrolled by their owners.

Except in cases of emergency, construction shall not be carried on nor shall power tools and power equipment such as saws and lawn mowers, be

operated between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m. and throughout the day on Sundays.

“Weapons, Firearms and Fireworks. Persons shall not use any firearms, air guns, slingshots, fireworks or other dangerous weapons or instrumentalities in Bay View,” By-Law #60, page 23 in the By-Law handbook (available on the Members section of the website).

Please be advised that to avoid the hazard of fire or the tragedy of personal injury, Bay View does not allow the use of fireworks anywhere on the premises, including the pier at the waterfront.

“Any person who shall violate any By-Laws made as provided shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by a fine, or imprisonment in the County Jail, or by both….” and “may subject the violator to prosecution under state or local law and may be grounds for forfeiture of a lease-hold,” By-Law 67, Penalties for Violation of By-Laws.

If you are renting your cottage this summer, please be aware that the owner of the cottage is ultimately responsible for activities that occur at their cottage or by their renters. We want everyone to enjoy their time in Bay View, and that includes having a safe and quiet summer.

The Town Crier

We are often reminded when traveling underground to be careful of the gap between the train and the platform. Another type of gap exists in Bay View. It is the difference between what we are placing aside for major repairs and renovations versus what we should be placing in reserve. If you have ever been in a condo association or a specific residential community, it is likely you paid as part of your common fee an amount for a capital reserve.

Bay View tries to accomplish this same thing by having a line item in the overall budget for major repairs and renovations. With revenues over the past four years being held flat and with expenses on the rise the budget has come under pressure. As such, the place found to get to breakeven has been the reserve fund. In some ways we have kicked the can down the road by delaying planned maintenance.

The section of the “Strategic Plan” labeled for the Finance Committee states in clear terms that one of the goals/objectives is not to have assessments. Yet the clear way to end up with an assessment is to delay planned maintenance or to not have enough in the building reserve. Thus we have a “GAP.” The gap exists as a difference between what we are putting aside and what we should be keeping in reserve. We will be identifying the size of the gap in the upcoming Town Hall Meeting. Members need to be up to date with our financial condition as we continue to strive to keep Bay View sustainable and affordable. Looking forward to hearing your questions and suggestions at the Town Hall Meeting scheduled for 9:00 a.m. Saturday, July 9 in Voorhies Hall.

Gateway Trail Report from Woods Advisory Committee

Music & Munchies is back for the Summer Music & Munchies is where children

receive a free lunch followed by a child-friendly program that introduces musical instruments and diverse musical styles in a fun and interactive way. The remaining MUSIC & MUNCHIES are on Wednesdays July 6 in Hall Auditorium, and July 13 in Evelyn Hall. “With Bow and Breath” will be the theme for the July 6 program which features instruments from the string and woodwind families.

A child-friendly lunch is provided starting at 11:30 a.m. on the Evelyn Hall Landing Pad, followed by a 35-minute interactive program right after the Noon bells sound. These programs are provided by the Bay View Music Festival children’s programming course led by faculty bassoonist Jill Marderness who also serves as Youth Music Coordinator at Bay View.

The lunch and program are FREE, but donations are appreciated. These programs are designed for young children

and the young at heart. Instruments featured this year will include instruments from the string, woodwind and brass families. The performers include Abby Volcansek/violin (James Madison University), Calder Lantz-Lewis/cello (Okemos High School), Audrey Cullen/flute (University of Washington), Brooke King/oboe (Carnegie Mellon University and Anne Linebarger/trumpet ((Florida State University). What an opportunity to see and hear up close ALL of these wonderful musicians and their instruments!

Music & Munchies programs are designed for children ages 5 and up. All family members and friends are

welcome, but the lunch will only be provided for the children who come to hear the program. Please bring an inquisitive mind for the question and answer session at each program. (Adults may ask questions, too!) Join us for Music & Munchies, an experience that will last a lifetime.

Gateway Trail is one of the major trail heads for the Bay View Woods and the entrance convenient to many cot-tagers. If you haven’t been on this trail recently, you should make an effort to do so. The 13 participants on Monday’s Woods Walk on Gateway Trail found many fascinating things. Here’s what we

saw and what you may expect if you wish to do this flat trail on your own.

When entering Gateway Trail, first notice is the number of standing ash trees

that are definitely dead. Walk a bit far-ther and to your left, off trail, you will see a massive ash that was pulled out by its roots when it went down earlier this year. Right next to the trail where Memorial Trail turns towards town are the remains of a massive beech that snapped this spring. If you are curious to know what happens to diseased trees when left on their own, a very short walk on Gateway Trail provides excellent examples. In the Bay View Woods, if a tree falls, it stays where it lands to decompose and enrich the soil over time. Usually, when a tree falls and blocks a trail, the trunk is cut to allow passage. Sometimes it’s easier to divert the trail to accommodate the new obstacle.

Evidence of the the naturally enriched soil was all around us. Numerous Jack-in-the-Pulpit, violets, leeks, blue cohosh, and even the remains of one last trillium were seen. All are native species and indi-cators of excellent understory health.

We heard the insistent clattering call

of the Ovenbird high in the trees. There seem to be several Ovenbirds nesting in the woods. Each family will build its nest on the ground. When the chicks hatch, they will scavenge for food on the forest floor just as their parents do. Once the young are capable of independence, the adults return to their winter grounds in Mexico, the Caribbean or Central America. A few weeks later, the young

The Town Crier2016 CROP Hunger Walk Truly a Success

Thank you Bay View for making the 12th Annual Little Traverse CROP Hunger Walk a success.

Volunteers began the day early set-ting up signs to provide route guidance. Participants registered at 8:30 am at Evelyn Hall. Live music provided by vocalist Pat Sehr, Jim Barnes on piano, Larry Wojchek on drums, and Gig Stewart on Bass. The band struck up the send-off music at 9:00 a.m. and the CROP Walk got into full gear.

The weather was wonderful. After completion of the walk, participants enjoyed cool refreshment. Ice cream was provided by Corner Scoops ice cream shop in Petoskey.

More than $23,000 was raised by 179 walkers and rockers with more contributions coming in. There’s still time to donate and support the CROP Hunger Walk. Proceeds support the local Manna Food Project here in Emmet County and the global programs of the Church World Service.

To make a contribution, please contact our CROP Hunger Walk organizers Mary and Greg Jackson phone: 810-407-1922, or email: [email protected] and Katy and Phil Bayster phone: 231-348-2017, or email: [email protected].

“Little Free Library” InstallationA “Little Free Library” has been

installed in Bay View next to the Reed St. railroad platform replica that is near the Memorial Gardens. Carol and Paul Godwin built and donated the Library to Bay View in hopes that having a book exchange location will encourage more reading and sharing. The Library is now registered with Little Free Library.org® and is part of a growing worldwide network of more than 4000.

“We got the idea for a little library after seeing them in several places this past year,” Paul said. “There were none in Bay View, but it seemed like something that would fit in here very well. To us, the Child Family memorial platform seemed like the perfect place to put one since so many people use that place as a meeting and resting

place. It is a very serene location next to the Memorial Garden and has seating. Besides, it is close to our cottage and we can monitor the use and keep it filled. We were especially delighted to see so many people come up to the library the first few days it was in place and make use of it. One couple even took pictures of each other next to the library.”

Heartfelt Gratitude

The Asbury family wishes to thank everyone who attended the Hot Dog Roast in memory of their son, Chris. The outpouring of warmth and generostiy of spirit was truly appreciated and the family will forever remember everyone’s kindness, especially the generous donations to the Boat House. A special thanks to David Asbury, Peter Fitzgerald and Patrick Collins for their music. Chris would have been honored.


Page 10 Friday, July 1, 2016The Town CrierThe Red Horse Chestnut: Tree of the Week

In response to the interest and concern expressed by the Bay View community with regard to trees on campus, the Tree Advisory Committee will now have a “Tree of the Week” feature in the Town Crier. Over the course of the season, we hope to address the successes as as well as problems we face with trees in Bay View. Today’s tree is the magnificent Red Horse Chestnut (Aesculus x cornea). Similar to the better-known Ohio Buckeye, the Red Horse Chestnut has splendid dark pink blooms in spring and seeds that are much smaller than the large buckeye nut. The blooms stay on the trees for a couple of weeks and the photo shows their brilliant color and orchid-like shape. This tree is just

one more reason to get to Bay View early next season.

Red Horse Chestnut trees can be seen on campus in front of the Woman’s Council building and two more are in the parkway off of Encampment. The photo shows how this youthful Red Horse

Chestnut will eventually provide shade that was formerly provided by the beech tree that had to be removed last week due to disease. While the trees on campus have the ability to live much longer than we as individual humans do, each tree will reach a stage of decline, disease or injury where it must be removed for safety concerns.

Trees are an essential part of the Bay View experience, providing shade and a beautiful background to our day-to-day activities. The Tree Advisory Committee works to preserve our living heritage and to provide a safe environment for all. More information on the Red Horse Chestnut is available in the “Trees for Bay View” hand out available at the Administration Building.

Campus Club hosts Boys’ & Girls’ Club on Wednesday Mornings

Beginning Wednesday, June 29, the Campus Club will host Boys’ and Girls’ Club groups for lawn sports each mornng. Each week, Campus Club will host a different group and provide instruction on Shuffleboard, Croquet or Lawn Bowling. Last year, all the participants had a great time (both kids and adults)! This Wednesday, June 29, Squirrels were on the calendar for Lawn Bowling. If you’d like to wander by the court and snap a picture of your happy camper you’re welcome to do so.

The Town CrierScarrow Friday Forum, Friday, July 8 in Loud HallColonel Hugh “Sandy” McLeod, U. S. Army (Ret.)“Too Much World, Not Enough Army: An Update on How the Budget Act of 2011 Continues to Impact Those Who Defend Our Freedom”

Back by popular demand, Colonel Sandy McLeod will speak, again, at the Scarrow Friday Forum in Bay View with an update on the challenges facing our

military due to the Budget Control Act of 2011. The presentat ion is July 8, at Loud Hall in Bay View from 10:00-11:00 a.m. The Forum is free and open to

the public.Last year in his Scarrow Friday

Forum lecture, “From Treasured Heroes to Treasury Burdens; How the Budget Control Act of 2011 is Impacting Those Who Defend Our Freedom,” Colonel Hugh “Sandy” McLeod, US Army (Ret), introduced the US Army’s new operating plan, “Win in a Complex World.” The plan spoke of developing a new breed of leaders, encouraging emerging technology and promoting innovative thinking in preparation for a future that is “not only unknown but unknowable”.

McLeod states, “Today, ‘complex world’ seems like an understatement. Festering threats such as Afghanistan, North Korea and Russia have coupled with multifaceted turmoil, including fighting in Syria and a return to Iraq. This change in the world catches the

Army in a declining force structure, with troubling levels of readiness and too many idling weapons programs, all the result of budget constraints brought about by the Budget Control Act of 2011.”

His concern is not just for those serving in the U.S. Army but for those in the Navy and Air Force, as well, who are also undergoing similar challenges in meeting their national security missions.

In his Scarrow Friday Forum lecture this year, “Too Much World, Not Enough Army; How the Budget Control Act of 2011 Continues to Impact Those Who Defend Our Freedom,” Colonel McLeod will provide an election year update to last year’s presentation.

reached the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100 in 1997, and the following year she won a Grammy® Award for Best New Artist. Her other well known song is probably, “I Don’t Want To Wait,” also from the “This Fire” album.

Speaking of her new album, hot off the presses, she comments “The cycle of ‘7’ is powerful to me. I believe I’ve finished a life era of 7 years, and I’m beginning a new one. Intuitively I feel I’m not going to be doing the same thing now. I’m moving into a different time of my life. There are songs here that were crystalized by life events – songs of my past – but there are songs that reflect my future – a glimpse that I’m headed on an unknown road to my unknown fate. All my albums, all my songs are Polaroid snapshots of my life, as intuitively I’m an autobiographical writer. This album represents a bridge to my next chapter, as I finish a cycle of 7 years back on the road, in the music business.”
