Discussion over plans to install a mosaic sculpture in Peninsula Beach Park raised questions about whose art should be displayed on public property.Boyne City Main Street Executive Director Kelsie King-Duff present-ed the plan to the Boyne City Com-mission on Tuesday July 25 and requested approval of the proposed location of the sculpture.“This has been in the works for some time,” said King-Duff.... “We’ve talked about getting a mo-saic sculpture somewhere in the Main Street District. She added, “The actual artwork would be donated by the artist that the design committee has been working with.”The Boyne City Main Street Board recently approved the recommenda-tion to have a work of art installed in the park but the matter had to be OK’d by the Boyne City Commis-

Last week, in the 33rd Circuit Court, Judge Roy C. Hayes III sentenced Jewel Eliza-beth Browe, 65, to serve a sentence of 38 months to 15 years in prison on a charge of iden-tity theft.Browe was previously convicted of two counts of the same crime in Charlevoix County back in 2013, involving the same victim. She was sentenced to 20 months in prison but instead completed the Department of Corrections’ SAI “bootcamp” program and was re-leased early. For this crime, Browe was stopped by police in Bangor, Michigan for a traffic violation. As she was a Cana-dian citizen who had been deported on numerous occasions, she did not give police her own identifica-tion but instead produced a driver’s license containing the identifying information of another woman,

Great Lakes Energy an-nounced last week it will achieve a 56 per-cent carbon-free fuel

mix by Jan. 1, 2018.“Carbon free refers to cleaner pow-er generation which means cleaner air and water and healthier commu-nities,” said Bill Scott, Great Lakes Energy President/CEO. “We’re proud to significantly reduce emis-sions in a way that reinforces our core mission of providing reliable and cost-competitive energy for our members.”Cleaner power emission sources in-clude renewable energy, such as wind and solar, and nuclear power.To reach the substantial carbon-free portfolio, Great Lakes Energy’s power supplier, Wolverine Power Cooperative, signed a new long-term contract for zero-emission energy. When added to current renewable energy assets, the agreement will increase the amount of carbon-free energy in Great Lakes Energy’s fuel mix from 31 to 56 percent.In addition to significantly reducing emissions from carbon dioxide, sul-fur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, the new agreement also helps ensure power costs remain competitive for years to come.In the past year, Great Lakes En-ergy, along with Wolverine and its other member co-ops, added more

—OPINIONS—

who does bergMan serve?Editor:Whom to serve?God or mammon?A question asked for millennia that even this simple writer could answer. Regardless of whatever religion one follows the basic concepts are the same. Feed the poor, take care of the sick/infirm, have compas-sion for all and to have morals.

My dilemma concerning this question is how would Jack Berg-man answer. He seems to never pass up an op-portunity to profess love for the Savior of his choice yet he contin-ually votes against acting on be-half of this particular Lord's own love, sacrifice and understanding of the human condition. Instead, Bergman kneels before his Caesar and continually does

his bidding.With Bergman planning an eight-day vacation to the Holy Land and using it as an excuse to not have any public town hall meet-ings for the other 23 days he will be on recess, the constituents of Michigan’s 1st District can only hope and pray that Bergman will have an epiphany of sorts and re-commit himself to the man born there over two thousand years ago instead of the person born in Queens 71 years ago. Jack would do well to brush up on Matthew 6:24 while he is on his taxpayer funded pilgrimage.John HunterTraverse City

guest commeNtaryBy mItchell JoN macKay

From Mississippi Delta Blues, with infusion of country music, and many other influences, came

Rock and Roll.Sam Philips of Memphis’ SUN RE-CORDS kicked it off in historical relevance but it was already here on the back porches and in dark speak-easies of early century last. The invention of the amplifier, hence the electric guitar, largely by Fender guitar manufacturing com-pany, changed everything, or al-lowed the protagonists and the audi-ences to change everything. Mostly it occurred in 1955 but was already transpiring protozoan-like in the forties and very early fifties.The only evidence would be con-sidered the Lomax tapes of field and farm workers who played ei-ther handmade guitars or Sears and Roebuck mail-order versions, pretty good instruments considering their hokey beginnings. Elvis Presley is credited with the first rock-n-roll recordings and rightly so but there were many oth-ers. As the story goes, Elvis was there one night trying to put together some ballad-type tunes with Scotty Moor and Bill Black, guitarist and stand-up bassist respectively, when it got late and nothing came of the effort.Suddenly, as all were packing up to leave, Elvis burst into a blues tune, perhaps That’s Alright Mama, and bingo, they were off and running, Scotty picking up the lead, Bill the rhythm.And there we had it, still great lis-tening after all these years. It don’t get no better than that.Mystery Train? C’mon, your legs will still be jumping.

Gibson Guitars soon got into the act and fashioned many acoustic and electric models, some even both. Gibson was always my pick be-cause I like the feel of them, the adjustable neck and bridge though some maintain that those features inhibit the tone. Martin Guitars on the other hand have mostly stuck with acoustic models with no metal rod neck bracing or adjustments whatsoever lest one shave down the saddle bridge on the guitar body for easier finger action. The folk music revival of the nine-teen-sixties was a resistance against the rock n roll incursion and well met at that, returned us to the roots of homespun music.It soon turned to folk-rock though since so many of us were spawned on that breakthrough with that bass and drum insistence and dancefloor gyrations we kids loved to partake of with our girlfriends and six-packs outside in the car or at parties.Rock n roll was it for us kids, noth-ing else mattered. Well, some other things.Every car had a back seat, did it not? So we collectively morphed from bebop pseudo-classical big band to rock n roll to folk revival to folk-rock to jazz to fusion and funk to disco and on and on but the electric guitar remained and still does the primary git-go for musicians.Though personally I prefer the acoustic guitar I now and then enjoy a session on an electric guitar for the volume and expression potential, bending those strings amplified as my guitar gently weeps a la George Harrison.Probably the Rolling Stones exem-plify best the blending of classical and rock - and folk to some degree. Keith Richards plays a more com-petent acoustic guitar than his elec-

tric version, as least in my opinion. Keith plays with a flat pick in lieu of finger-picking, a method I picked up although I learned the finger styles early on. The crispness of a pick is tantalizing whereas fingernails are unpredict-able, like, they break. Some guitarists prefer to use finger picks made of plastic and metal but they’re unwieldy as relates to bare fingernails. Of course the amplifier extends the hearing distance considerably so that’s a given for any musician.Even acoustic musicians use micro-phones so there’s no getting around that taboo. We all did it, still do if we want to be heard. We all learned how to play to the microphone more than the audi-ence.Who wouldn’t? Well, okay, front porch hootenan-nies are fun but on stage you need an amplifier, period. I suppose Waylon Jennings was the preeminent country-rock protago-nist, his rock-infused segue so com-pelling, his dexterous fingers and growly vocals completing the mix.Then we had Joe Cocker and then Tom Waits to offset the panorama, this after Chuck Barry, Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Leonard Cohen, Neil Young et al. There was room for us all, still is, always will be. You follow your destiny as it calls even if not chosen—who cares?Rock-n-Roll remains the mainstay in any case.Gimme the beat boys and soothe my soul, I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away.Rock-n-Roll is here to stay, even without amplifiers or electric gui-tars. It’s that pervasive, that over-powering.And drift away-ee-yay.

a Charlevoix County resident. Browe then failed to appear on the traffic ticket which resulted in the suspension of the driver’s license of the Charlevoix County victim. The same victim’s information was used to order cable service in Bangor, Michigan which resulted in collection actions against the victim.The victim, a former friend, took Browe into her home in 2012 at

which time Browe stole personal items with the victim’s identify-ing information and used them to pass herself off as the victim. This was the basis for the 2013 charges.“Both cases came about through the hard work of Charlevoix County Detective Mike Wheat,” Charlevoix County Prosecuting Attorney Allen Telgenhof said. “Hopefully this defendant will realize that she needs to stop vic-timizing people. At least she will not be able to do that over the next three years while she is in prison.”

sion.The Boyne City Planning Depart-ment helped to determine which part of the park would be best for the sculpture since much of the park is not located in the Main Street District.Boyne City Manager Michael Cain said the original location was to be near the marina but it was decided potential issues could arise from the marina’s expansion.“If the commission gives its bless-ing to this location, the parties will go forward and seek to secure the additional funding to make this project a reality,” he said.Boyne City Commissioner Hugh Conklin asked for information about the artist.King-Duff said she did not have any.“I find this much more favorable than Veterans Park,” said Conklin. Main Street budgeted $2,000 for the sculpture but more fundraising will need to be done in order to fund the installation of the piece.“I’m not real excited about it,” said Boyne City Commissioner Laura Sansom... “I asked the last time this came up—and, Kelsie, you weren’t here then—to have more information about the artist, and she

claimed she did a lot of different pieces and mosaics, works, in other cities. I have not found anything on the internet. I wanted to have some background, some information.” She added, “My feeling is, if Main Street has $2,000 to spend—and then some, which, it sounds like it’s going to be more than that—that the local artists have been cut out of the whole scenario of having the oppor-tunity to maybe create something for Boyne City.”Sansom said it would be nicer to put the word out to local artists and have them create works for the community.

“This sculpture doesn’t do a whole lot for me,” she said. “It blocks view. It’s just a wall. And I hate to be real critical but the subject matter is not akin to Boyne City. It’s just Michigan in general. This could go anywhere in the state.”Sansom added, “I’m not sure what the motivation is for this particu-lar work of art for any location in Boyne City in our public artists.”King-Duff said there are numerous pieces of art in Boyne City from both local and Michigan artists.“I don’t think it’s fair to say that Main Street’s not supporting local artists whatsoever,” she added.

Sansom said she didn’t say Main Street wasn’t supporting local art-ists but that in this case she wanted to know why the art wasn’t coming from a local.King-Duff also said the question at hand was not whether you like the artwork but whether the city com-mission approved of the location.“I look at it this way, a piece of so-called art—it is in the eye of the be-holder; some people maybe really love it, other people don’t—I just think that if it’s going to be some-thing that’s established permanently that it should be something that the whole community would like to

see … and I’m not sure that that’s the case. Maybe it is. Maybe I’m wrong.”Conklin asked if this was a time when perhaps the city should have a policy on public art.“I think there’s a lot more nuances here,” said Cain. “And I hate to see groups drawing battle lines or pick-ing sides.”He added that he believes many of the elements of the artwork are ap-propriate for Boyne City.A motion to approve the location of the sculpture was approved by a vote of 4-1. Sansom was the lone “no” vote.

Michigan must meet specific criteria in quality and safety measures, best practices, and patient satisfaction.Since 2011, McLaren Northern Michigan has been a Magnet® designated hospital. The Magnet Recognition Program®, overseen by the ANCC®, recognizes health care organizations that demon-strate nursing excellence resulting in quality patient outcomes, a col-laborative work environment, and innovations in professional nurs-ing practice. Achieving Magnet status means that McLaren Northern Michigan nurs-ing colleagues demonstrate extraor-dinary innovation and peak perfor-mance in nursing. There are only 12 hospitals in Mich-igan who are Magnet® designated.As a 5-Star Rated hospital through CMS, McLaren Northern Michi-gan received the highest rating possible for quality and safety. Nearly 4,600 hospitals nationwide were included in the analysis, which ranked hospitals from one

to five stars based on 64 distinct measures. A 5-star rating places McLaren Northern Michigan in the top 2.2% of hospitals in the country. “We are honored to be one of only five hospitals in Michigan with 5-star rating, and the only hospi-tal in northern Michigan,” stated Zechman.Ranking for U.S. News & World Reports is based on careful analy-sis of patient outcomes and care-related factors, such as patient safety and nurse staffing, from nearly 5,000 hospitals nationwide. Each hospital was evaluated and rated in nine specific procedures and conditions. McLaren Northern Michigan was rated as High Performing in seven including Abdominal Aortic An-eurysm Repair, Chronic Obstruc-tive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Colon Cancer Surgery, Heart By-pass Surgery, Heart Failure, Hip Replacement, and Knee Replace-ment.For information on services avail-able at McLaren Northern Michi-gan, please call (800) 248-6777 or visit northernhealth.org.

The physical and mental toll of concus-sions will be discussed at Lifetree Café on Sunday, August 27 at 6:30 p.m.The program, titled “Concussions: A

Former NFL Player Speaks Out,” features a filmed interview with former NFL tight end Ben Utecht, who suffered five confirmed concussions during his career. “My concussions, as they continued to happen, had a greater and greater impact on my person-ality,” Utecht explains. “Loss of short- and long-term memory is an is-sue I deal with, and I’m only in my 30s.”During the program, participants will have the opportunity to share ideas for reducing the risk of concussions in sports at all levels. Admission to the 60-minute event is free. Lifetree Café is located 401 S. Park St., Boyne

Stay calm on the investment ‘roller coaster’

Unless you live near an amusement park that does a lot of advertising, you probably didn’t know that Aug. 16 is National Roller Coaster Day. Actual roller coasters provide people with thrills. But as an inves-tor, how can you stay calm on the “roller coaster” of the financial markets?Here are some suggestions:• Know what’s in front of you. If you’ve ever ridden a roller coaster in the dark,

you may find it scarier than if you boarded it in daylight – after all, it can be unset-tling not to know where you’re going. The same can be said about investing: If you have no idea what’s in front of you, you might find the journey unnerving – and if that happens, you could make panicky decisions, which are usually bad ones. So prepare for the inevitable market volatility – it’s a nor-mal part of the investment landscape.

• Buckle up. When you’re on a roller coaster, you need to buckle your seat belt or use a restraint. You want to have the excitement of the ride, but you certainly don’t want to take unnecessary risks. And you can enjoy some of the excitement of investing without incurring more risk than you are com-fortable with, too. One way to lower your risk level is to diversify across a range of investments – stocks, bonds, government securities, and so on. That way, if a market downturn primarily affects just one type of investment, you’ll have some protec-tion. However, although di-versification can reduce the

impact of volatility on your portfolio, it can’t protect against all losses or guaran-tee a profit.

• Choose a strategy for the journey. Different people have different ways of han-dling a roller coaster ride. Some like to throw their hands up, enjoying the feel-ing of abandon, while oth-ers hold on tightly to the bar in front of them. When you invest, you also need a strategy that works for you, and the best one may be the simplest: Buy quality in-vestments and hold them for the long term. How long is “long term”? It could be 10, 20, 30 years or more. Famed investor Warren Buffet says his favorite holding period is “forever.” If you’ve chosen a mix of quality investments appropriate for your risk tol-erance, you may be able to

hold them until either your goals change or the invest-ments themselves undergo some transformation.

• Stay for the whole “ride.” When you hop on a roll-er coaster, you’ve got no choice – you’re staying until the ride is over. As an inves-tor, though, you can exit the investment world whenever you like. But if you take a “time out” from investing every time the market drops, you risk still being out of the market when it rallies – and the early stages of a rally are often when the biggest gains occur. Furthermore, if you keep investing dur-ing a “down” market, you’ll be buying shares when their price has dropped, which means your dollars can go further – and you’ll be fol-lowing one of the basic rules of investing: “Buy low.”You can’t take out all the twists and turns of the in-vestment road, but by fol-lowing the above sugges-tions, you can help make the ride less stressful – and pos-sibly more rewarding.This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Finan-cial Advisor.

It's tIme agaIn for your fall Cleanup

(BPT) - The temperature may not have dropped just yet, but make no mistake, fall is coming. Soon enough, baseball will give way to football, green leaves will turn yel-low and red and your lawn care routine will take on a whole new set of tasks. Fall lawn care isn't the long marathon of the summer yard

season, but it packs plenty of work into a few short months before the winter. You can make this lawn care blitz a little bit easier by apply-ing the following tips.

• Stimulate your lawn. While your grass may no longer need its weekly mowing in the fall, you can't ignore

it until spring. Look for brown, tan or white patches on your lawn, as this can be a sign of mold growth. Apply a lawn fungicide to halt this growth and an organic fertilizer to stop its spread and support future root growth.

• Blow those leaves away. Raking

leaves can be a Herculean task, so simplify the process by investing in a lithium-ion blower. The Green-works 60-volt Backpack Blower is a heavy-duty solution perfect for homeowners with a quarter to three-quarters of an acre to cover. And for yard-lovers that prefer a handheld blower, Greenworks has you covered there too! Both solu-tions are lightweight and reduce noise while eliminating emissions, and because they're battery pow-ered, you don't have to bother with mixing gas and oil.

• Seed and sod. If you do notice patches of dead grass in your yard - a common occurrence if fallen leaves have not been blown away - don't wait until spring to address the issue. Over-seeding the area can rectify the problem if the spaces are small. If your lawn has significant portions that have died, it may be time to look into sodding options instead for more comprehensive coverage.

• A fresh spray clean. A season's worth of wind and rain can leave the sides of your home looking pretty dingy. Fall cleanup is the

perfect time to give your home a reset by spraying down your sid-ing, decks, and patios. Greenworks 2200 PSI Electric Pressure Washer is an environmentally friendly gas-alternative solution with five nozzles that allow you to adjust the tool's water pressure based on the task at hand. The pressure washer is also designed with Smart Response Technology to adjust motor RPMs as nozzles are changed, ensuring the perfect water flow for every job - and the on board LED display guides you to the best job for each nozzle, letting you clean your home in a smart, efficient way.

• A hole in the ground supports future growth. Fall is arguably the best time of year to aerate your yard, allowing water, oxygen and fertilizer to more easily reach the root structure of your grass. Self-propelled aerators are relatively inexpensive, and you can also rent one if you plan to make this a once-a-year chore. Whatever you decide, tackling this chore now will allow your lawn to grow back thicker and fuller next year when it will be time to start thinking about spring lawn care once again.

Forward-thinking yard projects to tackle as the weather cools off this fall

stePs to a more secure home

(BPT) - When purchasing new locks, it isn't simply "one size fits all." Choosing the right lock or deadbolt for your specific needs can sometimes seem overwhelm-ing. Two in five Americans polled don't even know what factors to look for when purchasing one.

1. Look for the BHMA Certified Secure Home labelThe hardware industry has strict standards when it comes to the quality of locks and deadbolts, and BHMA is the only organization accredited by the American Na-tional Standards Institute (ANSI) to develop and maintain these standards. Each lock or deadbolt that features the BHMA Certified Secure Home label on its packag-ing has been tested to these strin-gent standards - the highest per-formance standards for residential hardware. The label also indicates that the product has been certified in three different areas: security, durability and finish.

2. Check the ratings combina-tionOnce a lock or deadbolt is tested to ANSI/BHMA standards for se-curity, durability and finish, it is given a rating of Good (C), Better (B) or Best (A) in each area based on its performance during testing.The rating system is defined by progressive levels of performance requirements. Be sure to select the lock or deadbolt that is rated high-ly in the area(s) most important to you.

3. Follow instructionsAfter purchasing the lock(s) best suited for your home needs, consult the installation instructions provid-ed by the manufacturer for proper application. A BHMA Certified lock - or any lock, for that matter - cannot function to its expectations if it isn't installed correctly.More info at www.securehome.org.

(BPT) - There is an insidious ene-my that every homeowner dreads: moisture and the damage and degradation it can cause if left un-checked. Luckily, home improve-ment manufacturers have discov-ered new ways to prevent moisture from penetrating the home in the first place. With new home prod-uct innovations, there is no reason to suffer the costly and damaging effects of rain, snow or ice.

• Unique fasteners add longevity to decksInnovative fastening methods can extend the life of your deck and provide a beautiful fastener-free surface that also stands up better to weather and moisture. Although there are several kinds of deck fas-teners that conceal the fastener, edge fastening is the latest method. "With edge fastening, which deliv-

ers real screws into the edge of the deck boards with a series of unique guides and drill bits, fastener-related splitting and cracking can be eliminated," said Greg Palmer, Director of Marketing at National Nail's CAMO Edge Fastening. "This can add to deck life because moisture is not seeping into those cracks and splits, causing accel-erated degradation." He adds that the company has also expanded its warranty to cover the deck boards, as well as the screws. "Edge fas-tening works great for composite, PVC and all types of wood decks and creates a safer, fastener-free surface."

• Exterior cladding that resists moistureWhen searching for alternative exterior products that have beauty and curb appeal, make sure they

repel moisture, especially near the foundation or near the gutters at the roof line. It is now possible to have the look of rich wood cedar shake or a variety of stone looks to cover foundations or to upgrade the ugly space under decks. New technology enables polymers to actually be stained or finished to be indistinguishable from the real thing. "There are new levels of re-alism in shakes that resemble true cedar," said Ralph Bruno, presi-dent, Tando Building Products. "Beach House Shake" by Tando is an example of this superb realism - it installs easily and is impervi-ous to moisture with little to no upkeep." He adds that homeown-ers can keep moisture at bay and have luxurious exteriors without sacrificing beauty.

• Protect your home in every sea-

son As if heavy spring rains and win-ter's melt-off didn't threaten home-owners' properties enough, the hurricane season is expected to be more erratic than in years past - with a predicted early start and activity right into late fall. Thankfully, there are new, afford-able technologies to quickly re-move standing water from home-owners' properties, keeping it away from their foundations. "Having both dependable sump pumps and multi-use pumps are the first lines of defense against storm damage," said Jeremy Can-tor, VP of Marketing for WAYNE Pumps. "One example is the in-novative WaterBUG Submersible

Water Removal Pump, which can remove large volumes of stand-ing water quickly and easily from flat grassy yards, basement floors, and even tight spaces like window wells because it has both top and side water flow." He emphasizes that having reliable multi-use and sump pumps in your home can save thousands of dollars in prop-erty damage and basement repairs.

• Seal it or patch it to keep water outWater damage doesn't have to happen, and by having the right caulks, sealants and hand tools, homeowners can easily do the job themselves and save on contractor costs. And, if moisture gets ahead of you, there are ways to repair the dam-age and prevent it from happening in the future. After winter, check windows, under door frames, gut-ter lines, concrete and other vul-nerable areas that need sealing or patching. Very often, the simple act of sealing these areas with the right type of caulk can make a big difference in keeping out moisture. "One of the most popular seal-ants on the market is LIFETIME Ultra, which is a perfect solution for outdoor fix-ups after winter's damage," said Alan Crupper, VP of Marketing, Red Devil, Inc. He added that premium acrylics like this work very well and are paint-able, unlike silicones. "You need a caulk that has a tight seal, won't sag or crack no matter the temper-ature and especially for outdoors, one that adheres well to any sur-face."No matter the season, moisture can put your home and valuables at risk, so don't delay in taking preventative action or repairing damage where it starts. With in-novative new technologies on the market, you can easily protect your home from nature's wrath.

Conservation District & the Boyne District Library worked together to provide a free nature program for kids called “Animal Adaptations.”The programs are geared toward ages 3-9, and are family friendly.The program started with the book, “What do you do with a tail like this?” by Steve Jenkins, followed by a scavenger hunt type hike around Old City Park. Gentle guidance was given on dif-ferent habitats to explore, and dis-cussion on what the animals might do to survive in the environment. After observing and sketching, chil-

dren came back to the gazebo to create their own animal and adapta-tions. Approximately 20 children attended the event, including a local pre-school group. More nature programs like these are in the works to take place at the Library this fall, and at the Old City Park gazebo in downtown Boyne City next Summer.The mission of the Charlevoix Conservation District is to promote natural resource conservation efforts in Charlevoix County through part-nerships, community outreach and landowner support.

Join us, at the Boyne District Library, on Tuesday Aug. 22 at 6:30 as Tom Carr discusses

the most notorious murders in Michigan for the last few centu-ries and his new book Blood on the Mitten: Infamous Michigan Murders 1700s to Present. This new 160-page fully illustrat-ed book is a collection of some of the most infamous murders of the last three centuries. Within its pages, readers will find some of the worst and most vi-cious people ever to walk on the Wolverine State’s sandy soil. Still others are seemingly ordi-nary people who gave way to bloody passion or insanity.

Award-winning journalist Tom Carr puts 50 fascinating accounts of these killings in a historical and social perspective, describing the politics and social agendas of the time. He takes readers to the crime scene and describes what stands there now and shows how moti-vation to murder has changed sur-prisingly little over time, although forensics, punishment, and inves-tigations changed a great deal.This program is free, and open to the public. For more information please visit the library’s website www.boynelibrary.org or call the li-brary at 231-582-7861.
