A fund has been set up for Boyne City businesses and projects that may need extra assistance.The Boyne Area Development Fund was allocated through the Charlevoix County Commu-nity Foundation, and it will be used to help economic devel-opment, business retention and business recruitment around Boyne City. “It came from meetings we had with Team Boyne,” said Hugh Conklin, director of the Main Street Program. “It has been an idea that has been talked about for some time.”The first project that will be

assisted is Landmark Devel-opment for striving to acquire grants from the Michigan Eco-nomic Development Corpora-tion to redevelop the Dilworth Hotel in downtown Boyne.Going off of a “pay it forward” attitude, Landmark Develop-

ment will reimburse the fund so that it can be used to help a business in the future.“The thought was that we could set this fund up and it could as-

sist the community,” Conklin said. “It is kind of useful to solve short-term problems.”The fund has currently ac-cepted donations amounting to $4,700; this includes a donation from the Boyne Area Chamber of Commerce as well.

“Our board just heard about it at our last meeting and decided it was a great idea,” said Jim Baumann, Boyne Area Cham-ber of Commerce executive di-

rector. “We donated $1,000 in support of it.”Conklin said currently nobody is soliciting funds for the proj-ect, but rather, the development fund runs off of charitable do-nations.“This is something that we wouldn’t solicit but we would allow … people to donate to the fund,” Conklin said. “We want to make it aware to the commu-nity what we are doing.”Conklin went on to say the long-term goal is to have re-sources available to help move a project along – this means there is no cap to how much money the development fund can acquire for assisting proj-

The Boyne City Commission revisited the proposed Depart-ment of Public Works facil-ity project during their regular meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 25.No decisions were made during this informational meeting, but commissioners were given the pros and cons to two potential construction sites.““When it last came before the city commission there were two lead candidates at that time,” said Boyne City Manager Mi-chael Cain. “One was North Boyne and the other was the waste-water treatment site. We got proposals from C2AE and it was my recommendation that we hire them to (provide) analysis that would compare

the cost and some of the issues with siting at one facility or the other.”Early total cost estimates show construction at the city’s prop-erty near the corner of Robin-son, referred to as the “North Boyne” area, and Court streets would be nearly $2.6 million. Estimated costs – and a C2AE representative cautioned that these numbers are preliminary and could differ – to build at the city’s waste-water treatment plant near the airport could be over $3.8 million. C2AE’s findings detail detri-mental impacts of using each site.Those for North Boyne in-clude:Utilizing this site for a DPW/Maintenance facility restricts

This year’s Winter Fest is prepped to be better than ever with new events and new chances for fun in the snow.Winter Fest will showcase fun highlights

such as snow sculptures, a chili cook-off, children’s games and much more throughout Boyne City’s downtown on Saturday, Feb. 19.“I really like the scavenger hunt,” said Karen Guzencik, owner of Country Now and Then/Up the Lazy River. “It gets people in-volved and it gives them a good

chance to promote the downtown area.”The event was started by the Boyne Area Chamber of Com-merce a few years ago to present a fun activity during the winter months. In addition to past favorites, the chamber is working on adding new offerings.“One other thing we are adding is music,” said Jim Baumann, Executive Director of the Boyne Area Chamber of Commerce. “We’re known for Stroll the Streets in the summer, but we thought we’d try to do it in the winter by having musicians play indoors.”Currently, the Boyne Area Cham-ber is contacting businesses around Boyne City to see if they would enjoy displaying music for shoppers during Winter Fest.

S u g g e s t e d Title: Memo-riesM e m o r i e s are common-ly associated with age and lifetimes. Yet their creation is often dur-ing ones very earliest years

as well as on through childhood, the teens, twenties, thirties and the following de-cades.Most of us, no matter our present age can let our minds wan-der backwards and remember the sad, impossible, funny, exciting and com-pletely unexpected happenings during each decade we have lived. Often the memory embraces a person, a place, a sur-prise, a thing or event but it is there within our being securely locked in place to re-

turn under various stimuli to haunt us with its emotions.When writing I often refer to my mind as a place of endless rooms, one leading into another, yet of some of its contents is hidden be-hind a closed door which opens into an unused attic or closet. It is patterned after one I discov-ered some thirty years ago when visiting the town of my birth, Columbus, Ohio. On its south-

ern perimeter is an area known as Old Town. Within its boundaries stands the home in which both my mother and I were born. The story of that day tells me our births were in the very same bed with its la-boriously ironed sheets and hand sewn quilt.Old Town was settled by Colum-bus’s early German emigrants and saved from demolition by resi-dents who literally threw them-

selves on the ground in front of the heavy equipment which arrived on the scene to begin the destruction. Because of this determination to save the homes and breweries the small house I discovered dur-ing my visit remained standing. When I first discovered the struc-ture it had been joined to the home which stood on the street behind it. The space between them, prob-

As some of you may al-ready know, on Wednes-day, Jan. 19, Wayne Wy n k o o p of Norwood T o w n -ship passed away.While I nev-

er got to meet him or his fam-ily, his heart of gold is well known, and my heart goes out to all of those who knew him.Wayne Wynkoop spent the last years of his life, and most of his final dollars fighting for his rights.Battling for the right to mine gravel on his personal prop-erty, Wynkoop found opposi-tion from neighbors, from fel-low citizens, but most of all,

from the local government whom he served for several years of his life.Charlevoix County Commis-sioner Rich Gillespie spoke true to my sentiments when he said “I hope and pray that no one in county or lo-cal government has any guilt on their conscience over this matter, but if they do, I hope it weighs on their conscience to their dying day!”It weighs heavily on my heart because I see so many people that could be the next Wayne Wynkoop.How many people have been harassed, shot down, and picked at until hitting their breaking point?I will say this once, twice, and continue to shout it from the highest hilltop: We can never allow one of our citizens to be trodden on in this manner -

not once, and never again.Every time we watch and stand by as the governmental entities - from the smallest Village to the White House - tread on our citizens, we fur-ther endanger ourselves.Where does it start?It starts with simple things.It may not have seemed like a big deal when the Village of Boyne Falls started charg-ing me a dollar per page for simple agendas, but when it deterred me from request-ing further information, I in-stantly knew why it had been done.For a while, I gave up, citing the financial cost of the bill, the time it would take to sue them (and win), and the little to gain - I was wrong.I never should have given up, because it wasn’t just about me.

It was about every other citi-zen who had been denied in-formation, picked on, looked down at, or made to feel un-important.It was about a restaurant owner who was damaged as she attempted to dispute her water bill, a fellow council member told not to talk about what happens at meetings, and yes - the newspaper re-porter charged outrageous amounts for information to be provided to the citizens.Right or wrong, the right of the citizens to stand up is par-amount.Wayne Wynkoop made a

IN DEFENSE OF LIBERTYEditor:We just wanted to take this op-portunity to express our sup-port for Patrick Schaller and his new business Cooper’s Pub and Grill.Having known Mr. Schaller for many years, we both know he will do an excellent job with this

venue, he is very detail oriented and quality conscious. It is a shame he is having an is-sue with Mr. McCan (an Atrium Condominium resident) who is not giving Mr. Schaller a chance to prove himself and his restau-rant.Did Mr. McCan not notice that he bought a condo next to a res-

taurant/bar and theater?Does he believe that the old is-sues from the previous owner will continue?What about waiting and see-ing if there is actually an issue before bringing this to the city commission?A new noise ordinance?Really?

I am concerned because of our annual Dancin’ in the Street concerts, the annual SOBO Arts Festival, parades and so forth. It is noisy to live in a downtown - any downtown.We need to support this new business and its owner as it will benefit everyone in this town - kudos to anyone willing to begin

a new venture in this economy.What we don’t need is another empty, dark building, a black hole in our beautiful town.Please support Mr. Schaller, he is a good business man who plans to turn the lights back on.Cindi & Frank MalinBoyne City

LETTERS FROM OUR READERS

Dear Rose:I hate my brothers girlfriend. She is a snake in the grass. She has manipulated, and pro-voked many family disputes. My brother had custody of their two-year-old son, and during a visitation she fled with my nephew. My brother got out of the truck to pay for her gas and she peeled out of the parking lot leaving him in the dust. When my nephew was returned to my brother his legs were cov-ered with little dime size bruis-

es. She made up every excuse un-der the sun for the cause of the bruises, but I know in my heart that she was the cause. This is only one example of the damage this woman has caused. Now my brother and her are back together. He has forgiven her for all the things she has done, but I can’t seem forget nor forgive her ac-tions. I have so much animosity to-wards her that it took me a little over a year to be able to be in a one mile radius of her. To this day I cringe in her pres-ence. Here is the dilemma. I love my nephew and he loves to come and spend weekends at my house, but if I want to see my nephew I have to play nice with his mom. I would never talk about or talk bad to his mom in front of him,

she is his mom and I know he loves her, but how do I get past my anger? Were, when and how does forgiveness start? I want a relationship with my nephew. Please help.Sincerely, Missing My Nephew Dear Missing My Nephew,Forgiveness starts within you. If you can’t actually feel forgive-ness, at least start to think about your brothers girlfriend as if you can. If you act kindly forgiveness will follow, especially if she can regain your trust. I’m not saying to forget the past, just put it where it belongs, in the past. Keeping your nephew as your primary goal and reason for act-ing this way toward his mother may make it a little easier. If indeed she is the cause of his bruises, then he needs a confi-dent, clearheaded adult in his

life. He’ll need a relationship with a close relative whom he can trust in case he mother is mistreating him. Your brother may need the same kind of support in his life since he has chosen to forgive and move forward with this women. My advice; be nice but watch-ful. You don’t need to live with this women or be best friends,

just be nice to her when you do see her and enjoy your nephew.~Rose

the use of this site for other purpos-es including r e c r e a t i o n and develop-ment.The poten-tial benefits of combined f a c i l i t i e s (DPW being

located at the waste-water treat-ment facility) and operations would not be realized if the two facilities are at separate loca-tions.Plans to use the waste-water treatment facility apparently carry more detrimental im-pacts:The useable site area is very constricted and leaves very little room for potential additions.Construct-ability at this site is an issue: constructing the new facility at the edge of the steep embankment would likely ne-cessitate the construction of a large retaining wall. Also, soils investigation would need to be performed to assure the stability of the bank.The site requires a large amount of imported fill material and would also require significant removal and replacement of un-suitable soils.

Impacts to existing utilities/in-frastructure at this site are much greater than at the North Boyne site.C2AE’s recommendation is that, due to both lower con-struction costs and fewer site issues, the city resources would be best used for constructing a new DPW facility at the North Boyne Cite.However, Cain said he prefers using the waste-water treatment site if at all possible.“There are some challenges and it’s a tighter site at the wast-water treatment facility. There are some staffing issues that might make it worth looking at and there might be some ef-ficiencies to be gained there but there are some tradeoffs on both of them,” he said. “It looks like given enough money and enough time you could make either site work.”Commissioner Dan Adkison asked if the city would save the difference in construction costs by going with the higher priced construction since there may be the potential to eliminate some costs by sharing facility space.Cain said there is potential but no guaranteed savings if the DPW and waste-water treatment facilities were to be combined.“It seems as though no matte where we put it in the waste-water treatment facility there’s going to be an increase in cost,” said Boyne City Mayor Chuck

Vondra. “I’m curious about the specs and I’m curious about who decided where what was going.”He added, “This is the Cadillac version. I’m looking for a build-ing to save money short-term. Maybe we can expand in the long-term. It looks like we’re trying to drive an Escalade as opposed to a pickup.”Cain responded that that was not the case.Vondra interjected, “It looks like it. I can get you a price for a 16,000-foot facility and it won’t be three-and-a-half million.”Cain said the purposes of this study was to determine the site differences only.“And whatever site you pick makes a difference,” Vondra said. “This is the Cadillac ver-sion, not the pickup truck ver-sion.”Vondra asked how much space is either not currently utilized at all or underutilized at the waste-water treatment facility.Cain said the end of the build-ing with the conference room and file storage area were un-derutilized.“If we’re bringing two depart-ments in there, that space is going to get used up and we’re going to need additional space,” Cain said. “If there are some other scenarios you’d like us to take a look at

we’re more than willing to take a look at that.”The board directed Cain to con-tinue investigating the matter and report back at an unspeci-fied time.“We’ve got to look at … the long-term implications of the costs, how we’re using the sites, impact on the neighborhoods,

things of that nature,” Cain said. “I don’t want to be penny-wise and pound foolish and do something now that’s going to cost more later on.”He added, “I think the commis-sion knows my initial preference is to make the water-treatment facility site work. There’s a lot of challenges.”

ects.“It may grow to create other opportunities – there could be great potential. We just need to

address short-term needs right now,” said Conklin.The business recruitment as-pect of the development fund relates to the ability to bring business to Boyne City. If there are empty retail spac-es available for business, said

Conklin, then business recruit-ment might be able to help fill that spot and, in turn, make Boyne City more profitable.According to Conklin, long-time Boyne City businesses suffering from an economic downturn may also benefit

from the fund.“We want people to know that it is a worthy investment for the community,” Conklin said.For right now, the fund is be-ing used to handle projects that are in need of immediate aid, and the hope is that the devel-

opment fund will be a success-ful venture for Boyne City’s future.Donations to the fund should be made payable to the Charle-voix County Community Foun-dation and mailed to P.O. Box 718 East Jordan, MI, 49727.

Last year’s event was held at the 200 block of Water Street and boasted nearly 500 attendees – the Boyne Area Chamber of Commerce is anticipating the same amount this year, if not more.Another new event this year, too, will be the snowman contest, which was created by Boyne City resident Harvey Coates.Coates said he wanted to do something that was community oriented and fami-ly-friendly.“It gets the kids out of the house and en-joying Northern Michigan,” said Coates. “It is a family competition and it is all for fun – with just a little bit of competi-tion.”Coates went on to say the long-term goal of the snowman contest is to bring peo-ple from downstate to see the elaborate snowmen that Boyne City has on dis-play. “I just want the event to be fun, and I hope that the word will spread over the year,” said Coates.Winners of the snowman contest will re-ceive prizes.The first-place winner will receive a plaque commemorating the snowman ex-

perience; however, Coates would like the award to be treated like the Stanley Cup that hockey players aspire to receive.“I would like it to get passed down every year after people display it on their man-tel, and it kind of gives bragging rights too,” Coates said.Coates came up with the idea because he thought it would be good for Boyne City, and he hoped that it would be something else to add to the ambiance of Boyne City.“It would go hand in hand with the com-munity event (Winter Fest) that is free and fun,” he said.Snowmen will be judged through an on-line poll and winners will be selected ac-cording to popular vote. Contestants may also submit a pictures of their snowmen to boynecitysnow-manfest.com to be judged, thus allowing people who live outside of Boyne, to be able to participate as well.“Also, if there is a warm spell and all of the sculptures melt, then we can still judge them – it would be like it was evi-dence,” Coates said.For more information on Winter Fest or the Snowman Contest, contact the Boyne Area Chamber of Commerce at (231) 582-6222.

“We’ve got a good board and we’ve got some actively verbal people with differ-ent points of view,” he said. “I think we have a good superintendent, too, who is trying to work it all together.”Mansfield said that although he doesn’t plan to run again, he has spoken to pro-spective candidates who he would like to see run in his stead.Anyone interested in running for this elected position must file before 4 p.m. on Feb. 8, at the clerk’s office in the Charlev-oix County Building. The election for the school board seats will be held on the first Tuesday in May 3.

The BCP team of “Young Champions,” an independent cheerleading group repre-senting Boyne City and Pe-toskey, recently competed in Grand Rapids at the State level on Jan. 23.Consisting up of youth aged 4 to 15 from Boyne City and Petoskey, the teams are a part of the “Young Champi-ons of America,” a national organization with a stated mission to “…make a dif-ference in the lives of chil-dren by providing youth pro-grams, which develop skills for life.”The following results are from a regional competition held in Gaylord in Decem-ber, at which many divisions of Team BCP placed.Placing at this regional com-petition qualified many of these teams for the State Competition.After tough State competi-tion in Grand Rapids the Division 7, comprised of 21 members aged 7 to 18, was determined to be bound for the National Competition in Las Vegas, Nevada, this year at the Orleans Resort.“I’m so excited for the trip,” said Boyne City High School junior Erin Baker, who has been cheering for 12 years, four of those for the Young Champions. “We’re all going to work very hard to place first.”While excited for the trip,

some aspects are far more important to Baker.“(Cheerleading) has made me a better team player,”

she said. “I’ve met some great new people.”While preparation for the up-coming National competition will be immense, the need for fundraising is almost as high on this list.“Our kids from levels 3 to 5 sell glow sticks for the ‘Glow in the Dark’ sale dur-ing the 4th of July,” said Gaye Schroeder, parent of a cheerleader.The Division 7 team raised over $1,500 for charity re-cently, and continues to be active in their community.Among other efforts, the

main upcoming fundraiser is a Pig Roast in Whitings Park on June 25.Plans are in the works for music, card tournaments, and kids games for all to en-joy.With a cost of $5 for ages 12 and older, and $15 for fami-lies, everyone will benefit.Proceeds are to be divided between the Boyne City Cancer Fund, Petoskey Can-cer Fund, St. Jude’s, and the fund to send the cheer teams to their various competi-tions, camps and events.More information on this and other fundraisers can be obtained by contacting Coaches Paula Jorgenson and Stacy Pettis.

New D.A.R.E. officer The Boyne City Middle School started the D.A.R.E. program on Jan. 13, with a new face. Officer Dan Mercer, from the Boyne City Police Department, is the new instructor. D.A.R.E., which stands for Drug Awareness Resistance Educa-tion, is a 13-week-long program where students learn how they can resist drugs and violence. Upon completion of the program, students will participate in a graduation ceremony. Officer Mercer said that he looks forward to becoming part of the school community and creating a positive relationship with the students. He shared that the students have been great, and they have made it an enjoyable, new experience for him. In speaking with several 5th-grade students, they think the program is good, educational, and fun. So far, the students have learned what D.A.R.E. means, to never use tobacco, and smoking can give you lung disease.

North Central Michigan Col-lege will offer a free lecture entitled “Afghanistan: An In-

sider’s View” on Wednesday, February 2 at noon in the Li-brary on the Petoskey campus.

The presenter, Jack Segal, served as principal foreign policy adviser to NATO’s Joint Force Commander for military operations in Afghan-istan from 2002 through 2009. During that time, Segal was in Afghanistan every month, meeting regularly with rel-

evant senior U.S. NATO and international partners. Segal will share his experiences and insights on Afghanistan and U.S. policy in that area.No reservations are required. Participants are invited to bring their own lunch and bev-erage.

This free program is sponsored by the Michigan Global Aware-ness Consortium, a group of community colleges dedicated to bringing global issues, in-ternational opportunities, and information to their campuses. For more information, call 231-348-6705.

Michigan’s largest indoor waterpark, Avalanche Bay, has been heralded as one of the top ten indoor water parks in the U.S. by Bud-get Travel magazine. The top ten water park hot spots debuted online at www.budgettravel.com and have been prominently featured on MSN.com. The 88,000 square foot Avalanche Bay Indoor Watepark features aquatic fun and attractions for all ages. The park boasts five amazing wa-terslides, a four-story tall mountain water-play struc-ture, shallow children’s

pool and play area, wet climbing wall, lazy river, two hot tubs, Michigan’s only indoor surfing wave, and much more. Themed as a Swiss-Aus-trian Village hit by an ava-lanche, one of the parks main attractions is Splash-erhorn Mountain, an inter-active play structure that erupts with an avalanche every twenty minutes. The mountain rumbles and an alpine horn sounds to alert that an 800-gallon water avalanche is about to spill down on explorers below. Patrons to Avalanche Bay

can also enjoy a variety of food and beverages from the Snack Shack and Après Ski Pub located inside the park. The adjacent Ava-lanche Bay Arcade provides kids with a digital wonder-land of 100+ games that can entertain for hours.“Avalanche Bay is hard to top,” says Waterpark Direc-tor Patrick Patoka. “With so many attractions in Ava-lanche Bay, amazing lodg-ing right next door, and all the outdoor fun that Boyne Mountain has to offer year round, it’s hard to find a better family getaway in

the Midwest.”Avalanche Bay Indoor Wa-terpark is located at Boyne Mountain Resort in Boyne Falls, Michigan. The re-sort offers guests a diverse selection of four-season amenities and a wide va-riety of lodging including hotel, condo and cabin ac-commodations. Waterpark packages are available year-round and daily ad-mission to Avalanche Bay is also offered. For more in-formation, please call 800.GO.BOYNE (462-6963) or visit www.avalanchebay.com.

Supporting foreign exchange stu-dents and their American host families takes a special skill set.To serve as a liaison between an international high school student and his or her host family, one must have understanding – of teenagers, family dynamics and other cultures – as well as patience and knowledge of the regulations set forth by the U.S. Department of State. Christine Wacholz of East Jordan, Mich., now has an updated perspective of the latter.Wacholz works as a local represen-tative for Nacel Open Door, Inc., a non-profit international student exchange organization based out of St. Paul, Minn. The company hosted a conference the week of

Jan. 24 to discuss new regulations that will take effect for exchange students coming to the U.S. for the 2011-12 school year.Wacholz was one of 18 area coor-dinators and local representatives attending the conference, where – in addition to reviewing the new regulations – attendees shared ideas and best practices with one another. They also shared their enthusiasm for international ex-change and told stories of their students’ successes.“Having exchange students in our community allows for everyone to see just what a ‘small’ world we live in,” Wacholz said. Wacholz has served as a local representative since 2003 and has helped bring

more than 30 international high school students into the Boyne City and East Jordan areas.Students on the Academic Year Program through Nacel Open Door, Inc. come to the U.S. on a J-1 Visa and spend five or 10 months with host families around the country, attending Ameri-can high schools and integrating themselves to the “American way of life.”Families interested in hosting an exchange student should con-tact Wacholz by e-mail at [email protected] or by calling 231-675-2465.

Clean out your attics, closets and lock boxes because the Roadshow is coming to Gaylord. Roadshow experts will be in town examining antiques, collectibles, gold and silver. While the Roadshow will accept anything that’s old, they will be focusing on gold and silver coins made before 1964, military items, toys and trains, musical instruments, pocket and wrist watches. Scrap gold is expected to be a popular category this week due to soaring gold prices.

Got Gold? Next week, visitors can cash in on antiques, collectibles, gold, silver, coins or just about anything that is old.

Roadshow Comes to Gaylord Next Week!

The Roadshow is featured next week at the:

Next Tuesday-Friday: 9AM - 6PM & Next Saturday: 9AM - 4PM

FREE ADMISSION

February 1st - 5thwww.treasurehuntersroadshow.com

The Roadshow encourages anyone planning a visit to take a minute and examine their jewelry box or their lock box at the bank and gather anything that’s gold. If a guest is not sure if something is gold, bring it anyway and the Roadshow staff will test it for free. Other gold items of interest include gold coins, gold ounces, gold proof sets and dental gold. Other types of items Roadshow experts hope to see include old toys and train sets. Archie Davis, roadshow toy expert spoke about some of the top toys getting great offers. “Old tin windup toys from the late 1800’s through the 1960’s are in great demand now,” said Davis, “Especially those that are character related. Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, the Flintstones or any character toys are sought. Old Buddy L toys from the 1920’s to 1960’s are in demand.” Basically

long as I can remember I have been fascinated with collecting coins. I would go through the change in my parents grocery store looking for rare dates and errors. Once, I found a silver quarter that I sold for $300.00. Not bad for an 8 year old.” Fuller went on to explain that any U.S. coins made before 1964 are most sought after by collectors. Coins made before 1964 are 90% silver and valuable because of the silver content or

Expert buyers for the Roadshow have noticed a tremendous increase in the amount of gold coming to the Roadshow and for good reason. Record gold prices have Roadshow guests cashing in on broken jewelry or jewelry they don’t wear anymore with our “fair and honest” purchase offers.

“U.S. coins made before 1964 are most sought after by collectors. Coins made before 1964 are 90% silver and valuable because of the silver content or could be worth even more if one happens to be a rare date.”

“If you go to the Roadshow, you can cash-in your items for competitive prices. Roadshow representatives will be available to assess and purchase your items at the Quality Inn, next Tuesday through Saturday, in Gaylord.”

any toys made before 1965 are wanted. Train sets made by Lionel, American Flyer, Marklin and others have the potential to fetch a large sum. Davis also stressed, “Toys with boxes and in mint condition bring sensational prices. Most of the toys that come

to the Roadshow are not in perfect shape but can still bring good prices from collectors.” When expert Tom Fuller was asked what he enjoyed most about working at the Roadshow, he was quick to answer, “Old coins and paper currency. For as

could be worth even more if one happens to be a rare date. “We help people sort through their coins for unique dates. We buy all types of coins at the Roadshow from wheat pennies to buffalo nickels, which are valuable from one coin to an entire truckload. See you at the Roadshow.” said Fuller.

“It’s a modern day gold rush,” said Roadshow President, Jeff Parsons. Gold is now trading near 40 year highs, and you can cash in at the Treasure Hunters Roadshow. All types of gold are wanted, including gold coins, Krugerrands, Maple

Leafs, and other gold bars, etc. All gold jewelry, including broken jewelry is accepted. Anything gold and silver is wanted.We represent many of the world’s top numismatic coin collectors.

Local skier Ty Wellman (age 17) took the gold medal in the half pipe free-style skiing competition at the Gato-rade Free Flow Regional Champion-ships last weekend. The event took place at Tyrol Basin Resort in Mount Horeb, WI. over the weekend of January 22nd and 23rd. Ty competed against skiers from around the Midwest. With the win, Wellman will advance to the national championships at Snow Basin Resort near Ogden Utah on Feb-ruary 10-13. The event is being held at the same time and location as the Dew Tour Fi-nals. The Gatorade winner at nationals is automatically advanced to the Dew Tour semi-finals next season which is one of Wellmans goals.Tour OverviewThe Winter Gatorade Free Flow Tour is the official amateur series of the Winter Dew Tour. In its second season, the Winter Gato-rade Free Flow Tour has searched the country’s premier mountains, giving top ams the once-in-a-lifetime chance to go from “Flow to Pro.” The goal is to find top talent from across the country while giving snow-

boarders and freeskiers of all abilities the opportunity to have fun while com-peting in a contest. The 2010/11 Tour consists of 10 re-gional events across 10 mountain re-sorts in the U.S., featuring snowboard-ing (slopestyle and superpipe) and freeski (slopestyle and superpipe). The winner of each regional event earns a trip to compete in the Win-ter Gatorade Free Flow Tour Finals held at the Winter Dew Tour’s Toyota Championships, and the champions in the six disciplines of the Winter Gato-rade Free Flow Tour Finals earn a spot to compete against the pros at the first stop of the 2011/12 Winter Dew Tour. Gatorade’s partnership with the Free Flow Tour began in 2009, and with its presence comes an added commitment to uplift amateur freeskiers and snow-boarders and provide an extended plat-form to grow action sports. Fuel TV broadcasts select coverage of the Winter Gatorade Free Flow Tour, and allisports.com is the home of all digital content and tour information.

Unless you’ve been cut off from every source of me-dia, not to mention all hu-man contact, you’re aware that the Super Bowl is fast approaching. If you’re a

football fan, you’re proba-bly eager to watch the game featuring this year’s best teams. And if you’re a busi-ness owner, you can learn a lot from how Super Bowl teams are put together.One thing that virtually all Super Bowl teams share is a stellar quarterback — someone who drives his team with skill, agility and vision. These same quali-ties can be found in a quali-fied, experienced financial professional — someone who can act as your “quar-terback” and help you reach your goals.What sorts of guidance might you get from your “quarterback”? Here are some possibilities:Coordinating your “team” — A Super Bowl-caliber quarterback obviously is adept at getting everyone on the offense to play well together. And as a business

owner, you, too, may need to get your own “team” up and running. Specifically, you may well need to use both an attorney and a tax professional to help you take care of various aspects of your business. Your fi-nancial advisor can help co-ordinate their services.. For example, if your business is involved with your estate plans, you will have legal, tax and investment consid-erations to deal with — so you’ll want all your legal, tax and financial advisors working together toward your ultimate objectives. Executing your strategy — Whether a quarterback hands off the football or throws a pass, he is attempt-ing to follow his team’s game plan, or strategy. And your financial advisor, as your quarterback, will help you execute the right game strategy to attain your own

objectives. For starters, your financial advisor will ask questions such as these: Do you have a retirement plan in place? If so, is it appro-priate for your needs? Do you have the right types and amounts of business insur-ance? Have you considered business succession strate-gies? Once your financial advisor knows the answer to these questions, he or she can then help you imple-ment your overall strategy through the use of suitable products and services. Adjusting your “plays”— When a quarterback sees something he doesn’t like, such as a last-minute change in the opposing team’s defense, he may call an “audible” to adjust his team’s designed play. Simi-larly, your financial advisor, upon identifying obstacles to your success, may rec-ommend changes to your

“plays” — the individual actions that make up your overall financial strategy. To illustrate: After reviewing the progress you’re mak-ing toward the retirement lifestyle you seek , your fi-nancial advisor determines that your retirement plan — e.g., your owner-only 401(k), SEP-IRA, SIM-PLE IRA or whatever plan you’ve chosen — is un-derfunded, contains a high percentage of conservative investments, and may need

potential growth opportu-nities.. Consequently, your financial advisor may help you decide it’s time for an “audible” – in other words, it’s time to re-evaluate so you may consider adjusting your contribution level and investment mix.A Super Bowl team needs a good quarterback — and so does your business.This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.

City warns of water pipe freez-ing and breaking

With the recent cold weather, the City of Boyne City has learned of several instances of water pipes freezing and breaking in homes and businesses. All but one has involved plumbing in buildings that had their heat turned down, doors open to the outside or plumbing in exterior walls. Frost is reported to be down about 4 feet into the ground. City Manager Mi-chael Cain reports: “We have just activated our drip list for about 30 customers who have had prob-lems with their service leads freez-ing in the past. With cold days and nights yet to come, water custom-ers are encouraged to watch the temperature around plumbing in their buildings that might be susceptible to the cold and pos-sible freezing.”

First Reading: January 11, 2011Second reading: February 22, 2011


ably thirty feet, had been filled with adjoining rooms and the re-sultant building had become Old Town’s book store. No longer two separate dwellings its rooms were not recognizable as kitchens, dining rooms, living rooms, bed-rooms, baths or even closets. Instead each was an area for a spe-cific topic of writing. I remember opening what had been a walk-in closet off an upstairs room only to discover the “wings” collection of books. It was fascinating with edi-tions about birds, butterflies and airplanes.And so it is with the memory of Old Town’s library I refer to my mind. Slowly over the years I have added rooms and closets to house my memories. One I call my “li-brary” where books I have read are shelved. Another is my art gal-lery and yet another, my “people place.” This is filled with portraits of people I have known and not known, living or deceased, they line the walls with their smiles, frowns and all-telling eyes. And of course, there is my junk room overflowing with those bits of memory that simply fit nowhere special but can’t be forgotten.What is junk for one person is a treasure to another. This fact was reinforced during my last move as a friend and my daughter earnestly told me I should get rid of a lot of my “junk.” As they look on them no great memory of a place, person or happening comes to mind as it does for me. One such piece is the old, dented spittoon of my father’s which is so rich in memories for me. Another is an old cigar box full of thimbles used by my grand-mother, now long dead. She was less than five feet in height and slight. None of the thimbles will fit any finger on my hands. Used to help push a threaded needle

through the fabrics which she so diligently used when hand-sewing quilts and clothing, they can be of no useful value to me today as I work on my quilts. Yet opening the box and looking at each silver thimble the unique design cover-ing its surface brings memories of her vitality, laughter and grand-mother’s love. They wash through me like a relaxing vacation time to a far away land. The same is true of the way too many vases tucked in my linen closet. Each shares with me mem-ories of my mother and the years she pursued her passion of gar-dening and flower arranging. Be-fore the time of career women my father strongly refused to permit Mother to open the flower shop she dreamed of so instead she be-gan a volunteer career which he considered acceptable. My father firmly believed others would look upon him as a husband who could not financially care for his fam-ily if a shop had been established. Mother attended classes and even-tually became a nationally certi-fied flower show judge. As a child I traveled with her many times to large flower shows held in big city halls. They were all her cre-ations. The same is true of my drawer full of my father’s old T-squares, triangles, compasses and pencils. Others would see them as worth-less in today’s world of digital ar-chitectural design, yet for me they bring my father to my side and with him his love.There are times I despair over the failure of my mind to remember. I can stand before someone I have known for years and realize I have no idea whether the name is Tom, Dick or Harry. This is a challenge which haunts me as I try to search out the name by delving into where, when or how I know the person standing there conversing with me. All the time I pray I will

be successful in disguising the fact I haven’t the faintest idea what name to use as the conversation travels back and forth between us.I remember times when Ed and I would be shopping in Glen’s and someone we know would stop be-fore us and ask about the grand-children. As we answered I was at ease, for although I might not have had any idea who they were, it was obvious Ed did and could tell me after they left. More than once, to my absolute disbelief he would turn to me and ask, “Who in the world was that we were talking to, Anne?” It is times like that one can worry about dementia. Fortunately I read some years back if you can’t find your car keys it is not a sign of serious memory loss. However if you hold your car keys in your hand and ask yourself what they are you are in trouble. So far, even though I seem prone to put things down and forget where I have left them I still recognize the items I misplace.Memories are often mysterious in their contents. Take a particular event that occurs within a family, a group of friends or at a special occasion and the memories cre-ated in the minds of those in atten-dance can vary drastically. Argu-ments can develop between those who experienced a particular time together, when at a later date, they speak of it. I discovered this as my family read my first published book, a memoir, “The Book of Anne.” Often what I remembered was challenged by a relative as being way off – not at all what they recalled. I came to understand that rather having one of us right and the other wrong that each of us observed the event with different eyes and thoughts. For one it might have been the weather that colored the situation while the other remembers it was all about the action of someone. Both of us were right, but our understanding

of the situation might be miles apart. It is much like a pretty gal at the beach down by the marina. Male eyes file away the hair color and figure. While we wom-en will take care-ful note of the red, white and

blue polka dot bikini she is wear-ing, and the matching beach towel on which she sits. At one point in his bout with Graves disease my husband endured double vision. I will never forget his remark while at the beach one day, “Anne, you have no idea how lucky I am. I see two of everything I look at!” I am not certain how that worked out for him when we watched fast-pitched ball in Petoskey; it must have made the games twice as ex-citing for him.There is no doubt that the memory of an embarrassing or painful mo-ment in our lives remain in that basement area of our memories we have labeled the subconscious. I am certain that one such moment when I was at the horribly vulner-able age of twelve my experience in music class in Harvard Grade School back in Maumee has col-ored my entire life with a terrible feeling of inferiority.I could look back at the episode and rail in my mind about the un-kindness and stupidity of the mu-sic teacher. I no longer remember her name but I could paint her por-trait my image of her is so vivid even now, seventy five years lat-er. Tall, dark haired, fortyish and wearing glasses she was doing her best to arrange all the seventh and eighth graders into a four part musical group. I do not remember any particular classmate although there were over fifty. At 5’9” I was the tallest member of the group – except for a couple of the eighth grade boys. And I was a skinny 128 pounds. All this was making life difficult for me and my life-long shyness. Always in the back row for class pictures, I found myself once again in the rear. Even the name of the song has fled my memory; probably erased by what happened. As we sang the first verse the director lis-tened. Holding her hand high she sig-naled the group to stop. Point-ing my way (to this day I will not point at anyone) she announced in a clear loud voice, ‘Anne move into the altos. You are not a so-prano.”The verse was sung again. Once more the director pointed my way as she instructed me to move into the tenor section brimming with boys. Her frown stopped the tit-tering that erupted and I moved down the bleachers on which we were arranged and climbed up

among the boys. Even though the tittering could not be heard it showed on ever boy’s face. A twelve year old male reacts to the close proximity of a girl as if she was a poisonous snake about to strike out. I wanted to die.Once again we sang the verse. At its end the director stood a mo-ment thinking. Then, once more her finger rose to point to me and she said,” Anne, I have to ask you to return to the top bleacher again, but this time let’s try the bass sec-tion.” So I turned and worked my way through the rest of the boys to stand by the two eighth graders who were about my height. There I remained throughout the school year which included our spring concert and its audience of par-ents and friends. The experience taught me that no matter where I might choose to stand in my life it would not be where I was meant to be. There was no such spot.The memory of that year of in-volvement in my school’s chorus has stood between me and my deep love of music ever since. I can’t even let myself hum when in public, yet I do with all my heart when alone. Over the years the memory of that time and the one which followed during my college year in which my sorority won the Greek Song Festival at Ohio State University in which I once again stood in the back row of our cho-rus. Even though I was formally attired and smiling I, under strict admonition, merely mouthed the words of the lovely song which won the honors. From this and other memorable happenings in my life I have to conclude they can be powerfully educational or terribly destructive to each of us. Science tells us of the horrors that results from any kind of abuse or even careless be-havior, as that of my music direc-tor’s pointing finger, can destroy us. Often this occurs without the victim’s awareness as they shove the memory of the happening way back into that basement room we call the subconscious. Fortunately I now bring up the memory of my singing ‘career’ just to laugh and enjoy sharing it with others so they too can laugh, and perhaps in doing so recall a memory that has haunted them and find it worth laughing about today. Try it. It is fun. Anne

new lodge is to be holden) vouch-ing for the truth of the statements contained in the petition afore-said, and recommending that the prayer of the petitioners be grant-ed; and, is also accompanied, by a certificate from Willard a. Smith the r. W. M. Of Charlevoix Lodge no 282 that the brothers named, in the petition aforesaid, for mas-ter and wardens, are qualified to open and close a lodge, and con-fer the three degrees of ancient craft masonry.Therefore, I, Alanson Partridge Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Michigan, by virtue of the authority in me vested by the grand lodge aforesaid, do hereby grant this dispensation, authoriz-ing and empowering our trusty and well beloved brethren afore-said, to form and open a Lodge in the Village of Boyne city in the County of Charlevoix and State of Michigan, to be called Boyne Lodge, and thereinTo admit and make Entered Ap-prentices, Fellow Crafts and Master Masons, In accordance with the ancient usages and customs of the frater-nity, and requiring them to obey in all things, the constitution, laws

and edicts of this Grand Lodge.And I do hereby appoint our worthy brother William Mears to be the first master, brother Ar-chabald D. Carpenter to be the first senior warden, and Brother Frank J. Crigier to be the first ju-nior warden, of said lodge.And at least the days before the next annual communication of this grand lodge, it shall be their duty, and they are hereby required to forward to the grand secretary of this grand lodge, this dispensa-tion, and their lodge records con-taining a copy of this dispensation and a correct report of all work done and proceedings had under the authority hereby conferred, together with a attested copy of bylaws, for examination, and for such further action thereon, by the grand lodge, as shall be, by it, deemed wise and proper.This dispensation to continue in full force until the next an-nual communication of the grand lodge aforesaid, unless sooner revoked.In testimony whereby, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the Grand lodge to be affixed, at Grand Rapids on this 28 day of JanuaryA.D. 1882, A. L. 5882Alanson Partridge Grand Mas-ter.Attest: William P. Innes Grand Secretary.

Masonic membership fees to Grand Lodge are 35 cents per year.Initiation fees to Grand Lodge for the degrees are $1.00 per broth-er.The Lodge’s three principal offi-cers under dispensation are:The first Worshipful Master, William MearsThe first Senior Warden, Archibald D. CarpenterThe first Junior Warden, Frank J. Crigier

The first information about Boyne City Masons that I have located in local writings is by Anna E. Dietze in her 1956 “early his-tory of the Boyne Region.” She credits the Masons with being involved in the New Year’s cel-ebration held in Boyne City at the Masonic Hall and in serving oyster supper at the W. H. White House.Masonic Lodge regular com-munications are held on Satur-day evening after the full moon of each month. This allows for travel by horse and foot when there is the most natural light available. At this time street lights and others are by oil when and where available. The broth-ers who travel from the rural ar-eas are hard pressed without illu-mination from the moon. Hence the name “Moon Lodge” was as-

signed as a colloquial expression to many fraternal organizations.The Masons from Boyne City lodge have masonically served their community and the Grand Lodge of Michigan as;Lodge Officers, Worshipful Mas-ters, District Deputy Instruc-tors, Board of General Purpose, Michigan Grand Lodge Secre-tary, Secretary of Masonic Ser-vice & Education, and Chairman of Michigan Masonic Service & Education for the State.Many of our Lodge members have traveled further into the Ma-sonic Fraternity by joining the York Rite, the Scottish Rite, and the Ancient Accepted Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. Our Brothers

have held many offices in these bodies as well.Our Lodge members have visited most all the Lodges in the State of Michigan, have attended Lodges in many other states in and visited many Lodges or held member-ship in other foreign countries.There have been about 900 Boyne men that were members of our Lodge.These men of Boyne # 391 have served us since the Lodge dis-pensation in 1882 for 129 years. They are a true representative of the oldest fraternity in the United States.Edward May III, Past Master, Boyne City LodgeCurmudgeonly Historian
