early a year after it
closed due to concerns
over arsenic levels,
Boyne City’s main playground

Dozens of people and their children attended the reopening
ceremony of the playground in
Boyne City’s Veterans Park on

eginning in June, dancers
from the Crooked Tree
Arts Center School of
Ballet Pre-Professional Program
will be attending national and
international summer intensive
dance programs.
An integral part of a serious dancer’s training process is attending
summer intensive programs at the
country’s finest schools, which
are generally attached to professional companies.
“I am beaming with pride at the
successes our students have made
this year,” said Heather Raue,
CTAC School of Ballet Artistic
Director.
“This group of thirteen dancers
was collectively accepted into 34
of the finest programs in the country. I am so excited to see what the
future holds for all of them!”
The school directors travel across
the country, often holding auditions outside of the U.S., looking
at thousands of young dancers.
This year, 13 CTAC dancers have
achieved acceptances in many of
the country’s top programs—several of them have been accepted
to multiple programs, and also in
programs overseas.
During the winter months, students and their parents travel to
attend auditions in Chicago, New

Trans restroom
guidance favors
few kids above
the majority
By Rep. Triston Cole
(R-Mancelona)
he U.S. Department of
Education and Justice
recently released unsolicited joint guidance in
an attempt to provide educators information they need to ensure that
all students, including transgender
students, are able
to attend school
in an environment free from
discrimination.
This
release
triston cole
served
as
a threat to
schools across the nation by stating
if they do not follow these guidelines they are liable to lose their
federal funding under the discrimination clause of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972.
Residents in my local community
have reached out to my office in record numbers since this joint release
was issued expressing sincere concern and anger about how this affects their children and their school.
As the father of three daughters, I
whole-heartedly disagree with the
federal government’s attempt to
control our local schools, force an
agenda to remove parental rights
and tell us how to raise our children.
This is a solution in search of a
problem not to mention an extreme
overreach of our federal government into each state, local communities, and our personal lives.
I am not discriminating against
transgender students, I am supportive of an individual’s choice to decide who they want to be.
However, there comes a point when
protecting all children trumps all
else.
These ill-conceived policy suggestions put the health and safety of my
daughters and your children at risk.
Under the rules being handed down
by the federal government boys and
girls would be able to use any restroom or locker room they chose.
Placing demands on local schools
to implement a federal rule without
regard to states right and the 10th
amendment is absolutely unacceptable.
As parents, we must have a say in
what happens in our child’s school.
That means that parents, the school
board and the local community
need to come together and take a
hard look at the situation and make
a decision that serves the best interest of each individual and the student population as a whole.
We cannot be left in the dark about
what is going on in our children’s
schools.
This is not about hatred for transgender students, this is about maintaining local and state government
control as well as parental rights.
A far-away White House cannot
tell us how to raise our children
and it shouldn’t be threatening to
pull funding to 16,500 local school
districts, 7,000 postsecondary institutions, as well as charter schools,
for-profit schools, libraries, and museums across the country.
This has placed the interests of a few
above the interests of our nation’s
students receiving an outstanding
education. Fear mongering is not an
acceptable form of governing from
our federal government.
I will do everything I can to advocate for local government rights and
for parents to have a say in every aspect of their child’s education.

fice for six years.
Then, in October 1991, Gettel
became the Boyne City AssistantChief of Police.
“Overall, he had 26 years of service with our police department
and he did an excellent job in all
of his roles and capacities with
us,” Cain said.
Gettel, who had retired to Georgia, is survived by a son, daughter
and wife.
“I knew and worked with Jeff for
many years … always had very
professional encounters with
him,” Cain said. “He always had
a very positive attitude and outlook.”
Retired Charlevoix County Sher-
iff George T. Lasater also shared
some memories of Gettel.
“I gave Jeff his first job in law enforcement after he got out of the
certification academy and (he)
worked for me for six years,”
said Lasater. “Jeff was always
very professional. He was a good
people person. He always looked
good in uniform and I appreciated
that—he represented the sheriff’s
office very well.”
Lasater said Gettel told him he
enjoyed working with both former chiefs of police and he was
complimentary of the city commission.
Lasater recounted the time when
a perpetrator shot at Gettel in
what resulted in a 12-hour standoff at a motel on M-66 outside of
East Jordan.
“Gettel was the first officer on-
scene,” Lasater said. “When he
arrived, the perpetrator shot at
him. And Jeff moved so fast he
left his hat in the middle of the
road.”
He added, jokingly, “And we always got a little mileage out of
that.”
Lasater said Gettel’s actions
earned him the Medal of Valor.
“He wore that … little ribbon on
his uniform … until the day he
left Boyne City,” Lasater said.
Boyne City Chief of Police Jeff
Gaither said Gettel was a good officer who is gone too soon.
“I know that when he left the
Boyne City Police Department
there was a lot of respect for him
and a lot of people felt really good
because he’d been there and he’d
done a lot of good stuff,” Gaither
said.

Sheriff Office’s K-9
officer Ezo the dog
(pictured below) now
has a bullet and stab protective
vest thanks to a charitable donation from non-profit organization Vested Interest in K9s,
Inc., and manufacturer, Armor
Express, as part of the incentive
program for which one free vest
is awarded for every 15 vests
purchased by the charity.
“The safety of our K-9 is paramount to us,” stated Charlevoix
County Sheriff W. Don Schneider in a Monday May 23 press
release. “This contribution will
aid in giving additional protection to Ezo.”
Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. is a
501c(3) charity located in East
Taunton, MA whose mission is
to provide bullet and stab protective vests and other assistance
to dogs of law enforcement and
related agencies throughout the
United States.
The non-profit was established
in 2009 to assist law enforcement agencies with this potentially lifesaving body armor for
their four-legged K-9 officers.
Since its inception, Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. provided over
1,900 protective vests, in 49
through private and corporate
donations, at a cost of over 1.6
million dollars. All vests are
custom made in the USA by Armor Express in Central Lake.
The program is open to dogs
actively employed in the U.S.
with law enforcement or related
agencies who are certified and at
least 20 months of age.
New K-9 graduates, as well as
K-9s with expired vests, are eligible to participate.
The donation to provide one
protective vest for a law enforcement K-9 is $1,050.
There are an estimated 30,000
law enforcement K-9s throughout the United States.

Aside from devoting time, parents make sacrifices to support
their children in these endeavors.
Not only is traveling to and from
dance classes a large time commitment, but paying for the dance
lessons, shoes, and programs can
also be a financial burden for
many families.
The summer intensive programs
usually last from two to six weeks
and cost an average of $5,000 to
attend.
Every year the CTAC School of
Ballet puts on four full-length
productions: The Nutcracker in
December, a June recital, a showcase in August at the John M. Hall
Auditorium in Bay View, and Fall
for Dance in November.
The proceeds from these dance
performances go the Crooked
Tree Dance Scholarship Fund.
Individual and corporate donations to the fund are also welcome; donations can be made in
person, online, by mail or over the
phone.
All monetary support goes directly to the dedicated students,
helping to provide them with the
opportunity to attend summer intensive programs.
For their June recital, the dancers
will be performing Fantasia Reimagined on Friday June 17 at 7
p.m. and on Saturday June 18 at 1
and 7 p.m. at the Harbor Springs
Performing Arts Center.
This performance will feature all
of the students from the Crooked
Tree Arts Center School of Ballet,
ages 4 and up.

One Book, One Community—Boyne Reads 2016—is
“Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy” by
Karen Abbott.
According to Boyne District Library officials, the books tells the
spellbinding true story of four women who risked everything—their
homes, their families, and their very
lives—during the Civil War.
To kick-off the Boyne Reads 2016
event, at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday June
14, the library will host “Michigan
in the Civil War,” a 77-minute presentation of the most historic sites
relating to the Civil War in all of
Michigan.
The highlight of Boyne Reads 2016
will be a visit by Abbott to Boyne
City on Oct. 4.
“We are fortunate to have an author
of Abbott’s caliber come to Boyne
City for Boyne Reads,” said Boyne
District Library Director Cliff Carey.
The library has multiple copies of
the book and ebook. They are also
available for purchase at Local Flavor bookstore. More info at 5827861 or boynelibrary.org.

From Page 1
Community in 2001, the Community Playground has been a
magnet for kids and families of
all ages since its opening.
The playground was primarily built of treated lumber which used a
wood preservative containing arsenic,
a common
and allowed
practice at
the time.
Although the
structure was
regularly maintained by Boyne
City personnel using the
practices and products recommended by the manufacturer,
testing by consultants hired by
the City in 2015 revealed high
levels of arsenic in the wood
chips and soils around the structure. Based on those test results,
the playground was immediately
closed to the public.
The Boyne community expressed its desire to save the
playground if possible.
Volunteers and city personnel
researched their options with the
manufacturer, other communities with similar playgrounds and
health and environmental experts. The first step, which took
place last fall with volunteers,
city personnel and contractors,
working together removed all the
contaminated wood chips.
Over the winter and spring,
a new due care plan
was developed for
the playground
to ensure it
would
be
made and
kept safe.
That plan
has
been
reviewed
by health and
environmental
experts. Recently,
as soon as the weather allowed, a contractor applied new
sealant to all the wood surfaces
of the playground.
Following that new fabric filter
liner was installed and then new
specialty wood chips installed
over it.
Then fences and other regular repairs and maintenance were performed at the playground to get it
ready for reopening.

Can you overcome
life’s obstacles?
A
rock climber’s struggle to come back
after a devastating
100-foot fall will
be explored at Lifetree Café on
Sunday, June 3at 6:30 p.m..
The program, titled “Overcoming Life’s Obstacles: How a
10-Story Fall Changed One
Man’s Perspective,” features
a filmed interview with Craig
DeMartino, an avid rock climber
who tumbled off a rocky cliff and
plummeted the equivalent of 10
stories.
“Nobody falls 100 feet, hits the
ground, and doesn’t die. You
should die,” says DeMartino.
“That’s just the law of physics. I hit
the ground anywhere from 90 to
120 miles per hour. You shouldn’t
be getting up.” During the program, Lifetree participants will have the opportunity to talk about obstacles they’ve
faced and overcome in their own
lives.
Admission to the 60-minute event
is free.
Lifetree Café is located 401 S Park
St., Boyne City.
Lifetree Café is a place where people gather for conversation about
life and faith in a casual, comfortable setting.
Questions about Lifetree may be
directed to Julie Hasse at 231-5827983 or Lifetree@fpboyne.org.

NLEA working
to solve skilled
worker shortage
Alison Burnell and Brad
Berkau have joined Northern
Lakes Economic Alliance
staff for the summer working as interns, focusing their
efforts towards the “Career
Opportunities in Northern
Michigan” Project. On behalf of a grant provided by
the DTE Energy Foundation,
Ali and Brad will work to
address our region’s skilled
workforce shortage by collaborating with several local organizations, including
Char-Em ISD, North Central
Michigan College, Baker
College, and Networks
Northwest.
The workforce project will
describe multiple careers,
outline education and training opportunities in the area
which pertain to those careers, as well as earning potential, projected job growth,
and opportunities for advancement.
Alison and Brad will conduct
and film interviews, edit the
film, produce instructional
and informative promotional
videos and printed materials,
and successively distribute
them to surrounding regions
together as a team. The materials they produce will also
provide information to multiple audiences regarding
the pathways to the careers
specified, interviews from
employers, and interview
profiles of employees and
students who describe the
paths they have taken from
education to employment.
The intent of the internship
is to educate rising collegeaged individuals and those
returning to college for educational development on
career pathways in the area,
eventually filling more local
job positions and encouraging economic growth. By
bringing awareness to these
“in-demand” jobs, we hope
to provide the public with
information to help guide
them towards success in
Northwest Michigan so that
we can sustain a strong local
economy.
The final products of the
internship will include multitudes of print and digital
marketing pieces which
promote careers available
in the region in an effort to
aid the economic growth of
several communities in the
area. These marketing and
promotional tools will be
helpful for students, recent
graduates, parents and the
general public by showing
what amazing opportunities
exists in our area!
Alison is local to Boyne City,
and will be a junior studying
Art and Design at the University of Michigan in the
fall. She enjoys graphic design and photography and
spends her free time exploring the outdoors.
Brad grew up in Petoskey,
and will be a senior studying Economics at Michigan
State University in the fall.
His free time is spent mostly
outdoors playing golf, camping, or fishing.

Protect yourself from Identity theft
Identity theft is a big problem. How big?
Consider this: In 2015,
about 13 million Americans were victimized, with
a total fraud amount of $15
billion, according to Javelin Strategy & Research.
That’s a lot of victims, and
a lot of money. How can
you protect yourself from
becoming a statistic?
Here are a few suggestions:
• Secure your Social Security number. Identity
thieves eagerly seek Social
Security numbers — so
don’t give out yours to anyone who asks for it. In fact,
as a general rule, be reluctant to give it out at all. Always ask whomever you’re
dealing with if he or she
will accept another form of
identification, or at the very
least will take just the last
four digits of your number.
And never carry your Social Security card with you.
Shred credit card offers and
bank statements. If you’re
not going to apply for the
credit cards offered to you,
shred the offers. Identity
thieves have been
known to go
through garbage, fill out
credit card offers and take
advantage of
them. At the
same time, shred
your bank and brokerage statements – and
any other statement containing personal or financial information.
• Study your credit card
bills and checking account statements. Question
any credit card charge or
checking account activity you don’t recognize as
your own.
Don’t give out your credit
card number unless you’re
initiating a purchase. Many
of us shop online. As long
as you’re dealing with a
reputable merchant who
uses a secure site — i.e.,
one that has “https” in the
web address — you should
be fairly confident that
your credit card information will be protected. Never give out your credit card
number to people or businesses who, unsolicited, try
to sell you something over
the phone or Internet.
• Protect your passwords.
Do you use a password to
log onto your computer?
If so, don’t share it with
anyone, outside perhaps
your most trusted family
members. And use a strong
password – one that doesn’t
contain your real name or
even a complete word that
could be used to identify
you. Also, it doesn’t hurt
to periodically change your
password, whether it’s for
your computer logon
or for entry to
any of your
financial or
consumer
accounts.
Even after taking
these steps,
you could still
run into identity
theft. That’s why you
need to watch for certain
signs, such as the arrival
of unexpected credit cards
or account statements, denials of credit for no clear
reason, or calls or letters
regarding purchases you
didn’t make. If any of these
things happen to you, you
may want to place a “fraud
alert” on your credit reports and review them
carefully. Three national
credit-reporting companies
– Equifax, Experian and
TransUnion – keep records
of your credit history. If
someone has misused your
personal or financial information, contact one of the
companies and ask for an
initial fraud alert on your
credit report. A fraud alert
is free, but you must provide proof of your identity.
And the company you call
must tell the other companies about your alert. (For
more information on placing a fraud alert, visit the
website of any of the three
companies.)
You can help preserve your
good name from those who
want to misuse it – so, stay
vigilant.

Mars at its best
A
very
bright red
starlike object appears
above the
southeast
horizon
around 9:30
pm. This is
the planet
Mars. It’s
the brightest
rod cortright
guest columnist that Mars
has been in
Look Up!
What’s in the over
two
night sky?
years. It now
approaches
the brightness of Jupiter, which
has been the brightest starlike object in the sky for the past few
months.
On May 22 Mars came
into opposition for the
first time in over two
years.
A planet is considered
in opposition when it is
directly opposite the sun in
Earth’s sky.
In the case of Mars, this occurs because Earth passes between Mars
and the sun in our smaller (95 million vs 141 million miles) and faster
orbit (18.5 miles per second vs. 15
miles per second). This happens
about every 730 days.
When in opposition, Mars rises in
the east around sunset, climbs to its
highest point in the sky at midnight,
and sets in the west around sunrise.
Mars alternates between good and
bad years for viewing in our sky,
and 2016 counts as a very good year
because it is an opposition year.
In the alternate years, Mars stays on
the far side of the sun from Earth
and is relatively faint and inconspicuous in our sky
In this opposition Mars was within
45 million miles of Earth.
In the next opposition it will come
within about 36 million miles and
its apparent size will be about 25%
greater and subsequently much
brighter.
This occurs because Mars’ orbit
around the sun is somewhat elliptical.
Mars will continue to climb
higher in the sky at night
fall.
It will be quite bright
for about another month
and then slowly fade.
So get out and observe it.
Until the next time clear
skies.
The next meeting of the Northern
Michigan Astronomy Club shall be
at Raven Hill Discovery Center on
June 9 beginning at 8:30 pm.
All are welcome to attend.
