Time to come together<br />
By Larry Ternan<br />
Bay View Association President<br />
Many issues have confronted Bay<br />
View in its first 136 years, as will happen<br />
in the next 100 years.<br />
Our membership is from across the<br />
country and very diverse, engaged and<br />
intelligent. Its history and different<br />
ways of thinking make Bay View a<br />
unique place we all value.<br />
This summer Bay View has discussed<br />
and voted on whether it should<br />
be more inclusive in membership and<br />
www.bayviewassociation.org<br />
ownership of cottages. Strong expression<br />
has been heard from those who<br />
favor inclusiveness<br />
• Election<br />
results,<br />

and from those who<br />
think of Bay View as<br />
a church or a camp<br />
meeting community<br />
and its core compo-<br />
nent needs to be protected or it will be<br />
lost over time. All in Bay View understand<br />
and affirm that Bay View invites<br />
the public and people of all faiths and<br />

Scavenger hunt for food<br />
Thank you to all who contributed to the Bay<br />
View Youth Ministry’s Scavenger Hunt for<br />
Food! <strong>The</strong> almost van load of food totaled<br />
991 pounds of non-perishables and backpack<br />
snacks on the big Toledo scale at Manna<br />
Food Pantry! That will serve over 2,500<br />
meals and send good snacks to many children.<br />
Thank you to all the youth, leaders and<br />
food contributors who helped make our<br />
Faith in Action project such a great success.<br />

Inclusiveness<br />
bylaw loses,<br />
board lineup<br />
changed<br />
In what had to be a near-record<br />
turnout, members Saturday, Aug. 6,<br />
rejected a proposed amendment to<br />
the Bay View By-Laws that would<br />
have allowed non-Christians to<br />
become members.<br />
However, backers of the inclusiveness<br />
proposal captured three of the<br />
four seats on the Bay View Board of<br />
Trustees that were up for election.<br />
<strong>The</strong> proposal to allow non-<br />
Christians to become members was<br />
defeated 346 yes to 381 no, or 48 to<br />
52 percent.<br />
A proposal to raise the age of<br />
membership from 18 to 21 was<br />
defeated 362 yes to 244 no, or 60 to<br />
40 percent.<br />
A two-thirds majority in favor –<br />
66 percent plus 1 vote – is required to<br />
races to its grounds to share in its programs and activities.<br />
Bishop Emerson Colaw, a retired Bishop of <strong>The</strong> United<br />
Methodist Church and a former<br />
Dircector of Worship here in Bay View,<br />
recently sent a letter to <strong>The</strong> <strong>Town</strong> <strong>Crier</strong><br />
after attending the three hour session of<br />
an exchange of views on the by-law<br />
amendment. He wrote and I quote:<br />
“From my perspective, I felt those of<br />
us present were experiencing Bay View at<br />
its finest. We were wrestling with an<br />
important question: what is best for the<br />
future of our beloved community.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> issue raised was significant. It involved tradition,<br />
theology and social custom. But all our talk was done with<br />
an obvious respect for each other, or as was said of the early<br />
Christians: ‘Behold how they love one another!’<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Town</strong> <strong>Crier</strong><br />
change the by-laws.<br />
Voters approved an organizational<br />
amendment 474 yes to 180 no, 72 to<br />
28 percent. <strong>The</strong> changes provide an<br />
organizational structure in the bylaws<br />
for the responsibilities and<br />
authority of the executive director,<br />
the board of trustees, program directors<br />
and committees.<br />
A total of 747 members voted, 378<br />
by absentee ballot and 369 at the<br />
annual meeting. With 862 members<br />
qualified to vote, that makes the<br />
turnout 87 percent.<br />
“That’s a pretty high percentage of<br />
involvement,” outgoing board secretary<br />
Rose Crandell said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> top vote getter for trustee<br />
seats was Jon Chism, an opponent of<br />
the inclusiveness proposal, with 400<br />
votes. <strong>The</strong> next three, however, were<br />
Page 03<br />
Jon Chism Bob Docking Kate Mitchell Stan Sutton<br />
“<strong>The</strong> time has<br />
come for the<br />
community to<br />
make a pledge<br />
to accept the will<br />
of the majority<br />
and move on in<br />
Chrstian love.”<br />
– Bishop Emerson Colaw<br />
www.bayviewassociation.org<br />
all in favor of the proposal: W. Robert<br />
Docking with 387, Kate Mitchell<br />
with 377 and R. Stanley Sutton with<br />
341. Sutton wins a one-year term.<br />
<strong>The</strong> others were elected to three-year<br />
terms.<br />
Those failing to win seats were<br />
Amy Rosacker, 333; Karen G. Solms,<br />
330; John Pugsley 320; and John J.<br />
Agria, 286.<br />
<strong>The</strong> new board changed the slate<br />
of officers at its organizational meeting.<br />
Larry Ternan remains president,<br />
but Docking replaces Glenn Stevens<br />
as vice president. Sutton is secretary,<br />
replacing the term-limited Crandell.<br />
Chism will be the new treasurer,<br />
replacing Rob Zetterberg.<br />
Stevens and Zetterberg remain on<br />
the board as trustees along with Mary<br />
Sue Hansen, David Kidd and<br />
Mitchell.<br />
Bishop: Come together in Christian love<br />
Continued from page 1<br />
“Everyone wants what is best for the future of our community.<br />
As I listened to the carefully crafted speeches, I<br />
would find myself thinking: ‘That sounds right’ and then<br />
another point of view would be given and that, too, sounded<br />
persuasive. So whatever the final conclusion, we did ourselves<br />
proud. It was ‘<strong>Town</strong> Meeting’ at its<br />
best.<br />
“While we feel gratitude for those<br />
who brought this issue to our attention, I<br />
believe now the time has come for the<br />
community to make a pledge to accept<br />
the will of the majority and move on in<br />
Christian love toward a brighter future.”<br />
A vote has been taken and it is now<br />
time to move on as one community having<br />
a sensitivity to inclusiveness. <strong>The</strong>re<br />
is a strong core community here with a diverse program for<br />
all who might participate, including the public, members,<br />
families and friends. Let’s pull together, progress and grow in<br />
our spirit of community.

Recreation winds down 2011 season<br />
By Marshall Dunlap<br />
Recreation Director<br />
Today, Friday, Aug. 12, at 11:30 a.m.,<br />
the whistle will blow at Swift Field for<br />
the last time this summer, as the 2011<br />
season comes to an end.<br />
But, we are not going quietly, as the<br />
children at Club will play a new Bay<br />
View version of the game Clue. You<br />
may have heard of Col. Mustard and<br />
Professor Plum in the board game.<br />
However, at Swift Field our children<br />
will meet Captain Catsup, Corporal<br />
Coffee, Senorita Salsa, Mademoiselle<br />
Meringue, Chief Chutney, Sheriff<br />
Schwarma, Admiral Avocado, and<br />
Professor Pickle. Ellen Schloff is coordinating<br />
the event, and it should be<br />
another memorable one.<br />
This is just another example of the<br />
creativity and energy that our wonderful<br />
staff has brought to the program all<br />
summer long.<br />
Since last we shared in these pages,<br />
many of you gathered with us at Swift<br />
Field for our First Annual Fundraising<br />
Dinner to benefit Recreation. Having<br />
pre-sold 43 tickets, we prepared for<br />
some extras, and somehow managed to<br />
feed 130 people! We did run out of<br />

<strong>The</strong> Library will offer books ranging<br />
from the Douglas Southall<br />
Freeman series on George<br />
Washington, to a very rare edition of<br />
Works of John Ruskin: “<strong>The</strong> Seven<br />
Lamps of Architecture.” Also included<br />
are a number of interesting art volumes.<br />
In all, over 50 items will be offered<br />
for sale. Prices will range from $15<br />
up. Cash and personal checks only<br />
will be accepted. Everyone is very<br />
welcome to join us for this special<br />

35 chicken breasts, 35 peppers, 20<br />
onions, 15 packages of mushrooms, 10<br />
packages of cherry tomatoes, dozens of<br />
homemade brownies (thanks to Cate<br />
Zannino) and three gallons of Kilwin’s<br />
Butter Pecan ice cream. We are still<br />
receiving a few checks for auction<br />
items, but appear to have cleared at<br />
least $3,000. Thanks for your support,<br />
as we seek to pay for all the wonderful<br />
work our staff has been doing all summer!<br />
In Bay View Recreation we glimpse<br />
signs every day of how bright our future<br />
is, because even our youngest campers<br />
regularly exhibit helpful, kind and supportive<br />
behavior. Things like helping to<br />
clean up after a messy activity, welcoming<br />
a new camper, helping staff or<br />
campers in need … these are the things<br />
that cause someone to be selected<br />
Camper of the Week. For the seventh<br />
week, two groups had overnights so<br />
they did not select anyone (they were<br />
sleeping in that day). But, seventh week<br />
campers honored were:<br />
Bunnies: Kelsey Rose<br />
Antelopes: Overnight<br />
Chippies: Livie Pines<br />
Skunks on patrol<br />
www.bayviewassociation.org<br />
Cubs: Christopher Rilley<br />
Skunks: Sabine Hansen<br />
Wolves: Nathan Lee<br />
Squirrels: Emily Bunker<br />
Bears: Overnight<br />
We have had a remarkable summer.<br />
Thank you to all the staff, campers, parents,<br />
volunteers, Russell Hall staff,<br />
Wade Administration Building staff and<br />
everyone who plays such a part in making<br />
this program so successful. Sure,<br />
we have made our share of mistakes<br />
and are not perfect by a long stretch.<br />
But, I have seen children grow and<br />
thrive, staff mature and lead, children<br />
and adults apologize when they err, and<br />
forgive when they are wronged…<br />
It has been a privilege to serve as<br />
Recreation Director this summer, and I<br />
look forward to reflecting on what we<br />
did right, and also what we can improve<br />
upon, and working through the off season<br />
to do it all again next summer even<br />
better! Thanks again for all the ways<br />
you have found to support us, and for<br />
allowing us to play a role in helping to<br />
raise up another generation of folks<br />
who understand and embrace the values<br />
and sense of community that are<br />
such a significant part of Bay View!<br />

Titanic!<br />
2012 production possibilities announced<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>The</strong>atre Arts and Performing Arts Committees<br />
have met and have an idea of the possibilities for 2012 productions.<br />
<strong>The</strong> likely productions are:<br />
Musical: “Titanic”<br />
Opera: “Don Giovanni”<br />
Youth <strong>The</strong>atre: “Aladdin” (or possibly “Little Mermaid”)<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are still a few unknowns, but we are trying to<br />
determine community involvement before we decide on<br />
the musical.<br />
Would you be interested in joining the cast if we produce<br />
“Titanic,” the Tony-award winning, historical fiction<br />
journey into the lives of those on the ship?<br />
Your role might be as a passenger (man, woman or<br />
child), rehearsing just two nights a week, as a supporting<br />
role that meets three-four nights a week, or as a principal,<br />
which rehearses four-five nights a week.<br />
<strong>The</strong> musical is chock-full of great, memorable music,<br />
touching relationships, and one of the most intriguing stories<br />
in history.<br />
Let us know if you or your whole family would like to<br />
be on board “Titanic” in 2012 if we decide to take the maiden<br />
voyage. You can email cludwa@gmail.com by Saturday,<br />
Aug. 20. Your interest is non-binding, we just want to see if<br />
we have enough people that want to buy a ticket before we<br />
build the boat!<br />

Bay View welcomes<br />
Spectrum Brass<br />
Bay View Association welcomes Spectrum Brass performing<br />
“Who Could Ask for Anything More,” an all<br />
Gershwin revue, at 8 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 21, in Hall<br />
Aditorium.<br />
It’s a little bit chamber music. It’s a little bit classical. It’s<br />
a little bit jazz. But it’s all Gershwin. Imagine a performance<br />
where a brass quintet commands the stage with power and<br />
grace, a concert pianist displays dazzling virtuosity, and a<br />
soprano sweetly sings a heartfelt song. <strong>The</strong> Spectrum Brass<br />
delivers it all in one mind blowing evening.<br />
With a first half suited for the symphony hall and a second<br />
half perfect for a night on the town, “Who Could Ask for<br />
Anything More?” promises to create lasting memories.<br />
Committed to creative collaboration, Spectrum works<br />
with innovative performances to enrich and enliven the<br />
chamber music experience. Members of Spectrum include<br />
Scott Thornburg, Brian Buerkle, Michael Atkinson, John<br />
Rutherford, Jacob Cameron, Alex Trajano, Anthony<br />
Patterson, Elizabeth Stoner and James Stephenson.<br />
Thornburg, Rutherford, Cameron and Patterson have all<br />
been faculty members at the Bay View Music Festival.<br />
James Stephenson’s approach to Gershwin covers a wide<br />
gamut, drawing from Gershwin’s music for stage, screen and<br />
concert hall. <strong>The</strong>ir “Summertime,” preserves the sultry haze<br />
of the original, but with additional arabesques around the<br />
melody and a refreshing, up tempo digression. <strong>The</strong>ir funkified<br />
“Fascinating Rhythm” takes more liberties, giving<br />
Gershwin’s rhythmic kernel fresh verve.<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir arrangements also go beyond the typical brass<br />
setup, allowing Spectrum to engage in its own collaboration<br />
with percussionist Trajano, soprano Stoner and pianist<br />
Patterson, who is featured prominently in trumpeter<br />
Buerkle’s daunting arrangement of “Rhapsody in Clue.” <strong>The</strong><br />
performance offers an abundance of perspectives, illuminating<br />
Gershwin’s music in new, unexpected ways. Visit<br />
spectrumbrassquintet.com for additional details.<br />
To order tickets, call 800-595-4849 or visit<br />
www.bayviewfestival.org. Tickets also are available at the<br />
Bay View Box Office, Post Office, and at the door one hour<br />
before the performance. Tickets are $35 for reserved seats<br />
and $22 for general admission.<br />
This concert is being brought to Bay View by <strong>The</strong> First<br />
Tee of Boyne Highlands, a local 501 (c)(3) non profit. This<br />
youth development organization offers programs designed<br />
to impact the lives of young people by providing educational<br />
programs that build character, instill life enhancing values<br />
and promote healthy choices through the game. Participants<br />
discover how skills essential to success on a golf course can<br />
ultimately lead to greater achievements in life.

By Meghan Mae Curry<br />
As a music student for almost six<br />
years now, and having just completed<br />
my Masters of Music in Voice<br />
Performance at the University of<br />
Delaware, I was looking for an amazing<br />
summer music festival opportunity<br />
to bridge the gap between my academic<br />
study and entering the real<br />
world as a singer and as a musician.<br />
Although I have auditioned for and<br />
attended a few other music festivals<br />
and summer programs, I have experienced<br />
my most rewarding musical<br />
summer yet here at Bay View Music<br />
Festival.<br />
Bay View has provided me with a<br />
summer filled with wonderful music,<br />
incredible faculty, tons of personal<br />
attention through voice lessons and<br />
coachings with some of the best teachers,<br />
coaches and musicians in the<br />
country, and a chance to sing with talented<br />
and motivated peers who share<br />
the same passion for music as I do.<br />
<strong>The</strong> most exciting part of Bay View<br />
for me has been the opportunity to<br />
sing the role of Nella (one of the<br />
greedy family members) in both<br />

An incredible summer<br />
Student finds Bay View<br />
‘most rewarding summer’<br />
Meghan Mae Curry: “Bay View has<br />
provided me with a summer filled<br />
with wonderful music, incredible faculty,<br />
tons of personal attention ... with<br />
some of the best teachers, coaches<br />
and musicians in the country.”<br />
“Gianni Schicchi” and its sequel<br />
“Buoso’s Ghost.” It has been wonderful<br />
getting the opportunity to study,<br />
learn, rehearse and perform in a<br />
focused eight-week period that has<br />
www.bayviewassociation.org<br />
Page 09<br />
been unlike any other performance<br />
process I have experienced.<br />
Both operas are unique because<br />
they are so ensemble based. So much<br />
of the singing and interaction occurs<br />
in a fast paced, musically complex and<br />
wonderfully funny way, and the whole<br />
cast and crew have worked with such<br />
focus and musicianship to create an<br />
amazing show!<br />
With the beautiful backdrop of Bay<br />
View and Petoskey, and the generous<br />
support of all of Bay View’s patrons<br />
and supporters, I will leave this summer<br />
feeling energized, inspired by all<br />
that I have learned, and so grateful to<br />
have had the opportunity to spend my<br />
summer focused solely on music and<br />
to perform two wonderful operas!<br />
Please join us for Puccini’s famous<br />
one act opera, “Gianni Schicchi” and<br />
its newly composed sequel sung in<br />
English, “Buoso’s Ghost.” Set to beautiful<br />
music and some of the most popular<br />
melodies of Puccini, both operas<br />
will be performed with supertitles,<br />
and are filled with hilarious moments<br />
that are the result of one family’s<br />
greedy aims to gain the inheritance<br />
that they believe they are owed!<br />
Remaining performances are 8 p.m.<br />
today, Friday Aug. 12, and Saturday<br />
Aug. 13, at Petoskey High School.<br />
Habitat for fairies<br />
Of course, you long ago forgot<br />
about fairies. You probably<br />
haven’t even thought about<br />
Tinker Bell lately. But wait! Just<br />
off the Indian Trail in the Bay<br />
View Woods, where the boardwalk<br />
meets the Deer Trail, you<br />
can return to your childhood.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re the Fawns have created a<br />
magical world of Fairy Houses.<br />
Be sure to visit this magical spot.<br />

Sidewalk care and maintenance<br />
Part of leasing and using our lots<br />
in Bay View requires the upkeep and<br />
maintenance of all sidewalks on the<br />
lot. Please clean off any plant overgrowth,<br />
and be sure there are no<br />
cracks of raises over one-half inch<br />
that could cause someone to trip.<br />
Overgrown tree limbs need to be cut<br />
back for easier passage. Thanks for<br />
helping us all.<br />
Parking on the street<br />
No everyone in Bay View has a<br />
driveway in which to park his car.<br />
And many cottages have several cars.<br />
Please do not bock any driveways,<br />
and please know that no one owns a<br />
special spot on the street. Our busy<br />
summer is waning and parking will<br />
be easier – stay kind and careful.<br />
Committee volunteers needed<br />
Anyone who would like to volunteer<br />
to serve on a Bay View committee,<br />
please come into the office and<br />
sign up on the sheet at the front<br />

Colo. 80230. Marilyn Lambert, Scott<br />
Drinkall and I are always happy to<br />
discuss your ideas and to help with<br />
editing. We look forward to hearing<br />
from you. We’d also like to have an<br />
expanded section on Voices of Young<br />

writers to contact us.<br />
Please read and think<br />
Sidewalks are just as the word<br />
says – walkways on the side for walkers.<br />
Good idea. If you must walk in a<br />
street, please walk facing the traffic<br />
and move to allow cars to go by. <strong>The</strong><br />
streets were made for cars and bicycles.<br />
<strong>The</strong> rules pertaining to cars also<br />
pertain to bicycles. Please remind<br />
your children to ride on the right<br />
side of a street and to use hand signals<br />
when turning. Also, show them<br />
where the stop signs are and discuss<br />
what a stop sign means. We’ve been<br />
lucky so far.

On Sunday, Aug. 14, Bay View<br />
Music Festival brings down the curtain<br />
on its summer concert series.<br />
This culminating concert ends our<br />
run of over 50 public performances<br />
that have occurred over an eight-week<br />
period. <strong>The</strong> program, always an emotionally<br />
charged evening, brings the 30<br />
faculty members together in a farewell<br />
to the summer of 2011 at 8 p.m.<br />
Sunday, Aug. 14, in Hall Auditorium.<br />
Chris Ludwa conducts “Nanie” by<br />
Johannes Brahms, the Festival Choir’s<br />
major performance of the summer.<br />
“Nanie” is a 15-minute-long work that<br />
is rarely performed due to its difficulty,<br />
but it is also hailed as one of the most<br />
beautiful choral pieces in the repertoire.<br />
Many foreign heads of state invited<br />
by the president for an official visit<br />
first come to Williamsburg, Va. <strong>The</strong><br />
visit lets them see something of what<br />
colonial America was like.<br />
Well, all Bay View members are<br />
invited to enjoy the same experience<br />
