Thank you from the Howie family....this past memorial day weekend was the annual turtle Ridge Rock Crawl-ing contest held on drum-mond island. our son, Jesse Howie lowed participating in that competition, and had spend hours working on his jeep the past couple of months, getting it ready for this weekend. He competed in 2008 for the first time, and placed 3rd, which meant he was auto-matically invited to compete in 2009, which he did, and

ancient world obelisk Left in RuinsFor the fourth time this spring, vandals have left their mark in the ancient world at Raven Hill discovery Center.

the first three times occurred in april when a truck dug up the grounds, making large “doughnuts” in the soft soil at the egyptian obelisk and in the mayan ball Court.

the latest and much more ex-tensive damage was discov-ered tuesday, June 01, 2010. Vandals broke one of the Cultural Flagpoles, knocked down the bamboo Forest and most discouraging, they de-stroyed the egyptian obelisk, a 10-foot tall, solid limestone $2,800 sculpture by artist Jim Garrison of Kalamazoo. the sculpture was installed in 2006 as a part of the ancient techniques and technologies grant award from the michi-gan Council for arts and Cul-tural affairs.a visitor to Ra-

ven Hill actually photographed the obelisk on Sun-day, may 30th, but did not real-ize that it should

have been standing. when standing, the obelisk functioned as a sundial and a calendar. ancient egyptians used the position of the narrow shadow cast by obelisks to tell the time and the length of the shadow to determine the month of the year.anyone with information about the incident is asked to leave a voicemail message for deputy George Lasater at 231.547.0438, extension 212 or contact the Charlevoix County Sheriff’s office at 231.547.4461.

“ w e ’ r e all in this t o g e t h -er” sang K e l s e y K r u z e l , f i g h t i n g back tears under her

blue graduation cap. as she neared the end of her grad-uation speech, she stopped. Her speech began with her love of High School musi-cal, a movie coming out in recent times. She compared one of the songs – the one mentioned above – to her graduating class. mention-ing key events from the history of the group, key-ing in on some of their more memorable experi-

ences, she focused on the bond they share.i have to admit, my first thought was something along the lines of “my class said the same thing...” as that thought came into my head, she paused, as if reading my mind, and with the emphasizing tone that she is so well-known for, commented: “if you try... ” undoubtedly, she used that phrase several times, pointing out that any dream is within their reach. i silently took back my thought, resolving that if any class could stay close and keep in touch, it would be theirs.over here, in boyne City – we are trying. despite the

hardest of times, despite inconvenience, economic hardship (forget hardship, let’s say “crisis”), death, and bad weather – we con-tinue to fight back. it takes both hands to count the new businesses that have launched in the past year – how many cities can say that? walking down the street, i can count on being late to wherever i’m go-ing because i see someone i know – not every city is that (yes i’m going to say it) blessed.

So what can we say to the Class of 2010?well, here are my top five “helpful hints” as tempt-ing as it is to pull out my

dog-eared copy of “every-thing i Need to Know, i Learned in Kindergarten” i will be more original this time and pull out my own words.Be Nice. i know, that seems obvi-ous, but it really isn’t. it goes beyond smiling when you see someone, not glaring at the girl that you don’t like, and letting that car in front of you dur-ing traffic hour. it goes to being generous, sharing what you might not have, saying “thank you” even if what you got isn’t quite what you want. don’t be afraid to be that “diamond in the rough”Don’t Be Afraid.

it’s a scary world out there, there’s no doubt. i could pull out an inspirational quote, but it’s graduation time – you can get those off of the inside of the many cards you will get. the bottom line is that be-lieving in yourself simply isn’t enough. yes, i said that. you can’t just believe in yourself and watch your dreams come true. you need to go out there and fight for your dreams. For many of you, this will mean filling out FaFSa forms for college, going through mounds of paper-work, and writing like your

AND CHEMI-CAL COMPANY Boyne City Furnace of the Lake Superior Iron and Chemical Company made their first run in January 1904 since which time it has operated constantly until September of this year. It was then decided to give the plant an entire overhauling and add several improvements. They started again on De-cember fifth. They employ 60 men with a payroll of about $3000 per month and have a daily output of 80 tons of pig iron. They are equipped with the modern devices for un-loading ore from their boats, have their own lighting plant, modern office building and laboratory, are beautifully situated on lake shore and in fact the entire plant, outside and in, has an appearance that General Manager, J.D. Dunn can be proud of. MICHIGAN TANNING & EXTRACT COMPANY The Boyne City Tannery was built by W. S. Shaw [William Sutherland] in 1901 and has been added to from year to year until it is now one of the largest, if not the largest,

sole leather tannery in the world. Their annual output is twelve million pounds of sole leather, and they employ over two hundred men. The plant is composed of ten build-ings and covers five acres of land. They use many thou-sand cords of hemlock bark each year besides thousands of gallons of an extract made of hemlock bark by a plant at Escanaba, Michigan. Mr. Shaw has spared no expense in perfecting the Boyne City Tannery as well as several other tanneries he is inter-ested in. A system of tracks makes a network through the yards and their own locomo-tives do their switching and handling of cars to the B. C. G. & A rail yard. Their own electric light plant lights their buildings as well as one block of modern dwelling houses owned by the company. While time and money has not been sparred to perfect the tanning industry, the Boyne City Tan-nery has not lost sight of the outward appearance of their plant. They are beautifully situated on the lake front and their yards, lake frontage and modern office buildings al-ways look neat and attractive. While Mr. Shaw’s interests are numerous and scattered over several states he main-tains his home in Boyne City and is always to be depended on to help any undertaking that is for Boyne City’s good. C. Turner is superintendant in charge and much of the

success of the tannery is due to his energy and cleverness. THE E. J. OLSON ASHERY The Ashery of E. John Ol-son has been established about two years and now has a capacity of four barrels of potash per week. Mr. Olson is planning to enlarge on an improved scale. He is at pres-ent working four men and two teams and has a payroll of about $300 per month. THE RAILROAD MACHINE SHOP One of the most interesting industries of our city is the car shops. On November 11, 1910 the old wooden shops which had been built on and remod-eled many times, burned to the ground and the railroad company immediately be-gan the present shop which is fireproof- constructed of brick and steel. This shop not only does all the work of the railroad, but does all kinds of machine and boiler work for mills, factories and steam boats. They build and repair all their own cars except the building of the coaches. Eleven locomotives are in-spected daily and five hun-dred flat cars must constantly be kept in repair besides the coaches and motor car. Sixty men are employed with a payroll of about $3000 per month. In the south end of the shops is a separate, steam heated, well lighted, designing room. Pattern makers shop, conductor’s room and mas-

A Bit of Boyne history with Ed May III

Dr McMillian’sMental Health Corner

i had the fortunate opportu-nity to attend the michigan all morgan competition at michigan State university Pa-vilion in east Lansing this past weekend. the riders were pre-dominately, youthful female riders and my niece was one among these tough competi-tors. even though she is one of the top world riders in her age and class, this young champion put to work her psychological skills when faced with defeat. in a sport were judging is quite subjective, i observed this young rider break down each moment of each ride. when back surrounding the tack room were mom, dad, grand-ma w, and barn members giv-ing support. it was impressive to be with this group as they embraced the seriousness of competition while balancing the playful side of the sport. even in the eighty plus degree heat when my champion niece nearly fainted hugging the long

beautiful neck of her mor-gan (XL-bahudda) her coach praised my niece’s decision to exit from the lineup while oth-er riders completed patterns. as parents gathered around to pump in fluids and cool the ath-lete, i was impressed with my niece’s trainer who came and reassured her that she did the right thing. there was no anger or any indication reminding the young athlete to win at all cost physically or psychologically. i was thrilled to watch the prin-ciples of sportsmanship that teach sportsmanship but also why sportsmanship supports the health and welfare of indi-viduals. in real-life situations, the successful know when to change course, stop, and even leave the game. this trainer was teaching and modeling sportsmanship for which i am grateful. what i was most im-pressed with, and will remain my fondest memory from the weekend was my niece at the end of a long, hot, and com-petitive day—she was washing and sweeping the pavilion floor and playfully splashed another youth with water. a real cham-pion knows how to work hard, win and lose, and at the end of the day laugh and play. you are my champion Syd kid...

ter mechanic’s office occupy the north end of the build-ing. The lathes, boiler shops, foundry and car rooms are most conveniently arranged. A traveling crane of ten ton capacity is used. The larg-est lathe will handle castings up to eighty four inches in diameter and a new planer 48 x 48 x 12 is just being in-stalled. All supplies are kept in a storeroom in charge of a keeper. Lathes and machines of all kinds are run by electric motor. The only steam used is for heating purposes and fans are now being installed for the purpose of equal heat distribution. C.D. Hilton who has been connected with the shops for eight years is mas-ter mechanic and general foreman. VON PLATEN LUMBER PLANT The G. VonPlaten Lumber plant is a strictly modern mill cutting hardwood and hem-lock lumber. Mr. VonPlatten has fifty men employed in his mill and about fifty in the camps, with a monthly pay-roll of about $6,000. Practi-cally their entire output is sold at wholesale. The main mill building, office, yards, lake frontage and all parts of the plant presents a neat, attractive view that speaks much of Mr. VonPlatten’s ideas of order and superin-tendent I. VanLeuven’s abil-ity. Several men are working

for Mr. VonPlaten now who have been with him for twen-ty years. Vacancies occur in his force only by death. His men never quit. Thanksgiv-ing every man with a family is presented with a turkey and at Christmas every child is remembered with an at-tractive present. If you want hospital experience go down to his plant and abuse Mr. VonPlaten to any one of his employees. W. H. WHITE COM-PANY, MILL NO. 1 Mill One of the W. H. White Company is commonly known as the “Big Mill.” It was completed about two years ago and is perhaps the most up-to-date hard-wood mill in the country. It is a double band mill with a band re-saw and has a daily capacity of 75,000 feet of hardwood or 100,000 feet of hemlock, besides about twenty five cords of eighteen inch stove wood, four foot wood and pulp wood. Lum-ber is produced with the least possible expense and the work done by the machinery is a delight to see the expe-rienced lumbermen and a wonder to the novice. The mill was built and ma-chinery was installed under the supervision of E. J. Ful-ghum. Sixty men are em-ployed with the pay roll of about $35,000 per month. W. H. WHITE COMPA-NY’S MILL NUMBER 2

Mill Number Two of W. H. White Company is known as the shingle mill manu-facturing cedar shingles and cedar ties only. Owing

to the fact that cedar is cut from the swamps only dur-ing the winter months this mill runs about four months each year. It has a capacity of 160 thousand shingles per day and turns out about 120 ties daily. Fifty three men are employed. John Griffin is the foreman in charge. W. H. WHITE COMPA-NY MILL NUMBER 3 Mill 3 of W. H. White Com-pany is a double band mill employing 53 men and with a payroll of $3300 per month. Besides the rail shipments during the winter this mill has in its yards about eight million feet of lumber when navigation opens. Besides fuel for the boilers to drive a 550 horse power engine. Mill 3 produces 38 cords of stove wood daily. G. L. Poquette is superintendent. W. H. WHITE COM-PANY, MILL NO. 4 Mill four of the W. H. White Company is their flooring plant and planning mill un-der the supervision of E. J. Fulghum, who is a capable man of many years experi-ence in the manufacture of hardwood lumber. Their av-erage output is 21,000 feet of flooring per day and they do all kinds of planning work, supplying the wholesale and retail trade. Fifty-five men are employed with a monthly payroll of about $3500. THE WOLVERINE DILWORTH HOTEL

The creation of the Wolver-ine-Dilworth Inn began in 1911, when Boyne City was a booming lumber town located on Pine Lake (re-named Lake Charlevoix in 1926). Boyne’s population neared the 6,000 mark and numerous business visitors came to the area. The city was a working man’s town with a number of hotels and saloons to quench the thirst of the mill hands, dock-wal-lopers and lumberjacks. As a result of the town’s growth, the leading citi-zens of Boyne City decided a grand hotel possessing unique style and elegance was in order. The Boyne City Hotel Company was formed and stock was sold. On Octo-ber 7th, the 46 stockholders chose the name “Wolverine” for the building. The grand opening was held February 1, 1912. Two hundred and forty patrons entered the Wolverine and dined in its elegance. Decades later in 1935, Wes-ley and Kathryn Dilworth purchased the hotel and re-named it the Dilworth Ho-tel. The hotel developed a reputation for the area’s best food and it quickly became a favorite dining spot. The Dil-worth Hotel was a popular spot for thousands of regu-lar visitors to “Boyne Coun-try” ski hills and resorts, as it is today. In 1946 the Dilworth’s sold the hotel as a result of the nationwide effects of World War II. However, the name and the legacy have re-mained.

The Wolverine Dilworth In is the only remaining ho-tel of the six original hotels from Boyne City’s lumber-ing era. The Inn serves as a reminder of an era gone by. As a result of the Wolverine Dilworth Inn’s historical sig-nificance, the Inn was regis-tered as a National Historic Landmark on February 13, 1986. To receive this honor, the Inn’s exterior was recon-structed as it was originally constructed in 1912- com-plete with the surrounding veranda. The Inn will now remain a historic site for all to enjoy for years to come. W O O D E N -WARE COMPANY The Badger Woodenware Company’s plant was built in 1907 but has been under its present management two years. Twenty-eight different kinds of wooden house-hold necessities are manufac-tured. Practically the entire output is shipped to But-ler Bros. Of St. Louis, MO. Sixty men are employed and $3200 is the monthly payroll. In addition to the manufac-tured products, fifteen cords of wood are in the yards daily for sale as stove wood. C. E. McCutcheon is superinten-dent and general manager.

Four women underwent diagnostic breast biopsies without the additional stress and worry of how they were going to pay for this test. No red tape, no run around, simply a phone call to either hospital will get someone on track to receive the help they need.Not only is testing provided to women in Charlevoix and emmet County, but the Circle of Strength has also paid past due medical bills for women struggling to make ends meet and provided gas cards to help pay for transportation to and from treatment. it is also a support group, holding monthly meetings for

cancer patients and providing one-on-one counseling ses-sions with certified Reach to Recovery volunteers, many of whom are cancer survivors themselves. they have also participated in five health fairs providing breast health information. Northern michigan Regional Hospital sponsored seven community events focusing on breast health and partici-pated in eight regional health fairs at which breast health in-formation was distributed.this is what bike4breastcan-cer and the Pink Ribbon Ride are all about, to help provide testing and support for the women who live and work among us.tim Leeper of mackinac is-land is riding this year. tim completed a 3,447 mile cross-country bicycle trip in march, from San diego, Ca to St.

Flag etiquette for Flag DayStaNdaRdS of ReSPeCtthe Flag Code, which formalizes and unifies the traditional ways in which we give respect to the flag, also contains specific instructions on how the flag is not to be used. they are: the flag should never be dipped to any person or thing. it is flown upside down only as a distress signal. the flag should not be used as a drapery, or for covering a speak-ers desk, draping a platform, or for any decoration in general. bunting of blue, white and red stripes is available for these pur-poses. the blue stripe of the bun-ting should be on the top. the flag should never be used for any advertising purpose. it should not be embroidered, printed or otherwise impressed on such ar-ticles as cushions, handkerchiefs, napkins, boxes, or anything in-tended to be discarded after tem-porary use. advertising signs should not be attached to the staff or halyard the flag should not be used as part of a costume or athletic uni-form, except that a flag patch may be used on the uniform of military personnel, fireman, policeman and members of patriotic organi-zations. the flag should never have placed on it, or attached to it, any mark, insignia, letter, word, number, fig-ure, or drawing of any kind. the flag should never be used as a receptacle for receiving, holding, carrying, or delivering anything. when the flag is lowered, no part of it should touch the ground or any other object; it should be received by waiting hands and arms. to store the flag it should be folded neatly and ceremoniously. the flag should be cleaned and mended when necessary. when a flag is so worn it is no lon-ger fit to serve as a symbol of our country, it should be destroyed by burning in a dignified manner.

Have you ever gone to a church and felt like you were visiting a planet from another galaxy? may-be you thought people were acting a bit strange. did the experience felt kind of staged, even phony or fake? Possibly there were some big smiles and head nods but it seemed like there was an interest-ing effort. maybe you got the sense that underneath it all people didn’t genuinely know one another. you then wondered what they “really” thought about your presence, or if they even cared. Church was never meant to feel canned, plastic, unreal, or insin-cere. it was divinely designed to be an atmosphere of authentic refresh-ment – a fresh spring of water. it originated to be a consistent grow-ing network of caring relationships – a family of friends who lived, laughed, cried, and loved together. it began as a network of open-ness, freedom, and encouragement where new friends could come and feel genuinely welcomed, accepted, and even befriended as they grow in their faith.So what’s the foundational differ-ence between the two church envi-ronments? i believe it is JeSuS! Jesus is sincere. He is authentic in his thoughts, attitudes, and actions. He truly cares. He knows names and understands life stories and problems we all face. Jesus is the founding Leader of the pure untainted concept of “church.” So the question is really “to what degree does Jesus lead a church?” i believe it all has to do with the commitment of the leadership and

What is Church?

Refreshment


Not all households have two wage earners. by choice or circumstance, either you or your spouse may be out of the work force for an extended pe-riod of time. but that doesn’t mean you can’t make progress toward your joint financial goals, such as a comfortable re-tirement. it does mean, however, that you need to carefully review your situation and make the right financial

moves. For starters, consider one of the best retirement-savings vehicles you have avail-able: an individual Retire-ment account, or iRa. even if your spouse isn’t earning income, he or she can open a “spousal iRa” to which you, as the in-come-earning spouse, can contribute. (Keep in mind, though, that you must file a joint tax return if you con-tribute to a spousal iRa.) depending on your income level, you can designate a spousal iRa as either a tra-ditional iRa, which grows on a tax-advantaged basis, or a Roth iRa, which can grow tax-free, provided your spouse has held the account for at least five years and is at least age 59½ before taking distribu-tions. and a spousal iRa has the same contribution limits — $5,000 in 2010, or $6,000 if your spouse is 50 or older — as a traditional or Roth iRa.Clearly, if you want to in-crease the cumulative op-portunities for building tax-advantaged resources for both your retirements, a

spousal iRa can be an at-tractive option. Furthermore, if your spouse allocates his or her iRa funds to investments that complement — rather than duplicate — those invest-ments inside your iRa, the spousal iRa can prove to be a valuable tool for diver-sifying your overall hold-ings. while diversification, by itself, cannot guarantee a profit or protect against loss, it can help reduce the effects of volatility on your portfolio. to help achieve this di-versification between your iRa and the spousal iRa, you may want to work with a financial advisor. another move you can make to help your stay-at-home spouse is easy to ac-complish but also easy to overlook — namely, updat-ing your beneficiary des-ignations on your 401(k), iRa, other investment ac-counts, life insurance poli-cies and all financial and legal documents. this step is particularly important if you’ve been divorced or widowed, and you want to be sure your stay-at-home spouse comes into possession of all the assets you had intended for him or her..of course, in this day and age, “stay-at-home” status can change quickly. if your spouse enters or re-enters the work force, you as a couple should consider

adjusting your financial plans. your spouse can continue contributing to the spousal iRa you’ve established, but he or she may now have other opportunities in which to save for retire-ment, such as a 401(k) or similar employer-spon-sored retirement plan. and if your spouse has been out of the work force for a while, it will be important for him or her to contrib-ute as much as possible

to a retirement plan.in any case, whether your spouse stays at home or returns to the work force, you’ll want to be proactive in making sure he or she doesn’t get left behind on the road to financial secu-rity.This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.

took 2nd place. His spotter (team mate) both years was Jesse’s good friend aJ Spaay, and they were an awesome team.when Jess passed away un-expectedly on may 5 of this year, just three weeks be-fore the competition, aJ and their friends decided they’d like to take on the challenge of running Jesse’s Jeep in that race. aJ was the natural choice to drive, and we all chose Jesse’s close friend Josh La-Combe to spot him. they too were an awesome team, putting on a very excit-ing show and taking a very proud 2nd place in Jesse’s honor.Jess loved drummond is-land for the off-roading ex-periences it provided. the deeper the mud, the higher the cliffs to climb or drop off of, and the more friends around to share it with, the happier he was. but what really made this weekend special for Joe, Lea, and myself was the number of friends who made the drive and spent the mon-ey to share in that emotional roller coaster weekend. it meant the world to us, guys, every moment, every hug, every tear, every belly laugh.... each of you helped us heal the hurt of losing Jess, and we hope it helped you too.we’d like to thank so many people, it’s just impossible to know where to start, but we’re going to try...tony amato, thank you for welding the things on the jeep that Jess didn’t get to and for making those welds as beautiful as Jess would have wanted. (He was such an artist when it came to his welding). mobert markil-lie, Josh LaCombe, and aJ Spaay for tweaking the me-chanical work.Crystal LaCombe – those t-shirts were awesome and absolutely perfect!

and thank you to Logo Pros for getting them out so quickly, even though we drove you nuts with pres-sure, it meant the world to us to wear them at the event.aJ and Josh, you couldn’t have done a finer job tack-ling those courses and working as a team, giving the crowd such an exciting show. we are so proud of you both, and so thankful that you wanted to do this for Jess!Jeremy Loper, how can we possibly thank you and all the people who helped you for one of the most beautiful gifts of the weekend – that plaque just took our breath away. and for your guys to pick Jesse’s favorite spot on the island (marblehead) to pres-ent it to us, well, it couldn’t have been any sweeter. thank you. Not to mention all the work the entire group went to providing a buffet for that hungry crowd!angie and wayne Sobleski (and family), thank you for keeping our precious grand daughter/daughter over-night and all weekend so we didn’t have to worry about

her for a moment, know-ing she was in the best of hands.Carlton and Shirley Howie, same goes for keeping Jes-se’s precious ada, for all the same reasons.we hope the people on drummond island read this and know that we are so thankful for their hospital-ity and tolerance every time we invade their town – the drummond island Resort (LoVe your camp fire area, we sat for hours watch-ing the stars, singing while the guys played guitar, and no one complained that we know of. that’s huge!) No wonder Jess loved that place.the bear track Restaurant – you guys went above and beyond to accommodate the boyne City crowd, and your staff treated us to the best service and pancakes – again, Jess always raved about you and your food!thank you to all the volun-teers who work their butts off every year to put on the turtle Ridge Rock Crawl and who acknowledges our love for Jess in so many ways, and so many times...you guys from unemployed

Films who introduced your-selves t us and presented us with dVd’s of the youtube video you put together.... that means so much to Jesse’s family and friends, to have those memories to watch forever of his smiling face.and the guy who presented all the competitors with “in memory of” stickers for everyone to stick on their Jeeps... Just incredible that you would even think to make them someone you’d

only met and jeeped with a couple times... thank you for that.Honestly, the list could go on and on, but please know that each and every one of you are special to us and you gave us a weekend to remember, to rejoice, to heal and to celebrate 25 years of having Jess in our lives. Like the t-shirts say, ‘this ride’s for you, Jess How-ie’... and it was, Sweetie. it really was. Joe, Lisa and Lea Howie (Soltis)

life depends on it – because it does. you can do this, but you need to actually go do it. you know what you can do, so don’t sit back, and don’t be afraid.don’t take anything per-sonally. Sometimes things get per-sonal and feelings get hurt. yes, people will hurt you, make you feel worthless, and make you want to give up. Resist the urge to get out there and go to war, resist the urge to give up – just go about your business. Keep what’s important in focus, because as many times as you may hear it, many of the little things won’t matter a year from now, five years from now, ten years from now. don’t let the little things get to you, let things go.You Will Screw Up. “Good judgment comes from experience. experi-ence comes from bad judg-ment” Preventing mistakes

is a lost cause. we all make them, and we will all continue to make them. What can we do? Learn. take these mistakes and learn from them. try not to make the same mistake twice – or make the mistake into a good thing. this is what will get you through anything.Remember. Now, how vague is that for a piece of advice? “Re-member” i know, you think i’m crazy – that’s okay. that feeling from gradua-tion tonight? the “everyone’s proud of me” feeling? Remember it. Keep it with you, keep it fresh, never forget what it feels like for the entire town to have faith and pride in you. why? because they do – and they will – and they won’t stop. we, the peo-ple of the boyne area, are proud of you. we will be here for you, and we will stand by you. i personally know most of

you. i have seen you go through your trials and tribulations, and i feel a sense of pride in your accomplishments, as do all of us. if you need help, we are here. if you do well, we are here. if things get rough – we will still be here, and we will still remember the day you walked down that

aisle, ready to show the world what boyne City has in their youth.One last thing. as my personal gift to you, during the school year, i want to keep you aware that your town cares for you. For 25 dollars, i will send you a copy of the boyne City Gazette while you are at college.

this will cover nine months, but this discount i’m putting on it is well worth it to me, because i want you to know that we care. Give me a call when you get your college address (or home address if you’re going to NCmC) and we will make it happen.Good luck, and be safe.

Words of wisdom for the next generation


the people involved to truly know his refresh-ing freedom for their own lives, and sincerely offer it to others. dan Kimball fitly entitled his book that depicts what people these days think about the church, they Like Jesus, but Not the Church. throughout the book he shares thoughts from many who are not connected to any church. these “unconnected” be-lieve most churches are political, insincere, judg-mental, negative, ruled by fear, and completely irrel-evant for helping them in life. but these same un-connected people believe Jesus is great! this sim-ply means that a giant gap exists between how Jesus

behaved, and how many churches behave. So the real question always comes back to, “is Jesus and his values truly the centerpiece of this church environment?” Jesus is rest. He is safety and refreshment. He says, 28”Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and i will give you rest (matthew 11:28).” He desires to inspire, call to greater living, and all along the way breath this air of authentic belief and great expectation into whatever person or group of people he’s hanging with. Jesus would motivate those around him to be-come more for God with-out making them feel like an unworthy little worm. He engaged others genu-inely and sought to under-

stand. then he acted in such a way they couldn’t miss his greatest message, “i am interested in your life, and deeply care about

you.”He was sincere in his re-lationships. He wasn’t a robot going through Sun-day morning motions. He entered dialogues that re-ally mattered. He ate with “those kinda people.” He looked under the skin and understood real needs. Rather than blasting the

woman “caught in adul-tery” he looked at her with compassion and said, “you are forgiven. Go and sin no more.” Jesus accepted all peo-ple where they were at in life no matter what their struggles, varying behav-iors, personalities, or be-liefs. He sat with them. He laughed with them. He threw off fear, loved and opened his life to them. Jesus is the founder of the church (Remember mat-thew 16:16). He brings rest, safety and refresh-ment through the group of people who truly yield their hearts to his leadership. He will lead that group to genuine care, a light-heart-ed family-friendliness and fun. Following his leader-ship will create an open, accepting, and ultimately a transforming environ-

ment. then new friends regardless of background, beliefs, or life struggles will come and be truly re-freshed. the sincere desire of Gen-esis Church of boyne City is to help those without a church home, come and be refreshed.Jamie woodall is the pas-tor and church planter of the new Genesis Church beginning at boyne City elementary october 10, 2010 (10-10-10). email comments or questions to [email protected].

Come to the auctionRain or shine. Listen to the "Sing-ing auctioneer" and pick up great bargains!

the boyne City united method-ist Church will be sponsoring an auction on Saturday June 12th, 10 a.m. at the boyne City eagles Club. the proceeds from the auction will be divided evenly between the church and the boyne area Free Clinic.

the auctioneer will be merle berden. merle's wife died many years ago, but he still remembers the help given to him and his wife

during her illness. He remembers and gives back to groups who reach out to others.

it's not unusual for merle to break into song at any given time - even while conducting an auction. He may even begin to yodel, just for fun, all adding a new dimension to auctions. there also will be a silent auction, a concession stand (with great methodist food), pieces of church history, antiques and tons of useful items, all put up for auction at a great price! Fun for all!For questions call Joanne at 231-536-0020.

the first annual michigan mountain mayhem road cy-cling event.are you ready to be chal-lenged on June 12th? boyne City michigan is hosting the michigan mountain may-hem. the michigan mountain mayhem is a road cycling event which will test you both mentally and physically. it is one of the most gruel-ing and challenging rides you will ever participate in. there are 4 routes to choose from: a 50K teaser, a 100K metric century, a 160K (100

mile century), and for those who dare a 200K double met-ric with 10,000 feet of climb-ing!who says there are no moun-tains in michigan? this unbelievable route starts near the backside of boyne mountain, and runs south through the hilliest part of michigan wrapping around Schuss mountain before re-turning back to boyne City. o.K. maybe these hills aren’t the Rockies, but you will wish they were as most of the climbs out west average only 3-5% grades.

these routes will test any-one with over 50, yes over 50 climbs that hit at least 10% and many that reach 15%, 18%, and even 20%. the michigan mountain mayhem promises to become michigan’s premier cycling event with Hammer Nutrition as a major sponsor. there will only be 1000 rid-ers allowed the first year.

AUCTION

Holding some auction items are (from left) Singing auc-tioneer merle berden, Pastor wayne mcKenney and the boyne area Free Clinic’s doctor dr. Richard mansfield.

Fundraiser Auctioncome to the auction saturday, June 12th at the Boyne city Eagle’s hall at 10:00 a.m., corner of lake and river streets, rain or shine. listen to the “singing Auctioneer” and pick up lots of great bargains. the auction is being sponsored by the Boyne city united Methodist church. the church has chosen the Boyne Area free clinic as an outreach project. they will be sharing the pro-ceeds from the auction, equally with the clinic. the Auctioneer, Merle Berden, lives in cheboygan, MI where he, also has been a locksmith.

Merle’s wife, Irma, died several years ago, but he still remembers all the help given to him and his wife during her illness. he remembers - and gives back through groups who reach out to others. It’s not unusual for Merle to burst into song at any given time, while conducting an auction. he may even begin to “yodel” just for fun. All add-ing a new dimension to auctioneer-ing. the Boyne Area free clinic has been in existence for three years. dr. rich-ard Mansfield, the clinic’s doctor, sees 50-60 patients on any given friday. the Boyne city united Methodist

church is happy to be able to contrib-ute to this much needed, and appreciated, medical program. You can also be a part of this by at-tending the auction. Join us for a fun-packed day. there also will be a silent Auction with art, golf passes, a week-end package and more. A concession stand will be in operation featuring great “Methodist” food. We promise fun and something for everyone, including a train set for tommy and a dog “condo” for spot and rex. Sorry, no credit cards accepted.
