2011


Freeze-up imminentIt has been a cold, gray winter in Bay View without much snow. All the big storms have tracked to the south,as they did last year. This picture showing ice cover beginning to form on Little Traverse Bay was taken Jan. 28,a rare sunny day. Ten days later, the bay was frozen as far as the eye could see. (Town Crier photo)

2011 season will be “inspirational, enriching, exciting”

See PRESIDENT, page 13

In 2008, Bay View residents donat-ed over $11,000 to the Nothing-But-Nets Campaign. This anti-malariaproject was recently evaluated by theWorld Health Organization and WorldBank. They reported that millions ofinsecticide-treated bed nets had beendelivered to sub-Saharan Africa,enough to protect three-quarters ofthe people at risk from the mosquitoesthat transmit malaria. This reduced

the number malaria-related of deathsby 21 per cent (see The New YorkTimes, Dec. 18, 2010).

These gains are fragile, however.Bed nets lose their potency after aboutthree years of washing and need to bereplaced. Can our community domore to support this important effort?

On Sunday, July 10, as part of ourWorship and Religious Life Program,

Bishop Janice Huie, Chair of the Unit-ed Methodist Committee on Relief(UMCOR), is scheduled to speak inBay View. The malaria project is partof UMCOR. If you would like to helpraise money for anti-malaria nets andpresent a symbolic check to BishopHuie when she is here, please make acontribution through the Bay Viewbusiness office and mark “MalariaProject” on your check.

“Nothing But Nets” campaign makes huge impact

By John StakoeBay View Executive Director

The Operations Committee spent agreat deal of time last summer collect-ing traffic data and providing compre-hensive recommendations to alleviatetraffic issues.

The Bay View Board of Trusteeswas presented with a plan for 2011based on the recommendations whilestaying within our budgetary require-ments. The items that will be installedinclude new signage, two gates and anew speed hump.

Signs will be placed at Encamp-ment Avenue and Fairview directingvisitors to the auditorium. A framed

map of the grounds will also beinstalled on Fairview similar to onesused at large complexes to assist con-tractors, visitors and new performers,students and acts.

Signs will be placed at PrestonAvenue, Pine and Spruce streets pro-hibiting through traffic to ArlingtonAvenue and Division Road. A nothrough sign will also be installed onArlington just outside of Bay View.

A new speed hump will be con-structed on Water Street just beforethe tennis courts.

Also, an electronic gate will beplaced on Moors at Division. This gatewill be able to be accessed by mem-

bers only and will prevent traffic turn-ing into Bay View when the left turnlane is closed on Division Road at U.S.31 this spring.

A second retractable gate will beplaced on Terrace Avenue at U.S. 31;this gate has been requested by theResort-Bear Creek Fire Department.

The department will not pushthrough the current gate and will onlyenter through a gate that opens elec-tronically. The fire department hasindicated that the Terrace entrance isthe most desirable for their vehicles inthe summer and has few alternativeswith the reconstruction of Division atU.S. 31.



The house of gingerbreadTerrace Inn owner Mo Rave created the above scale model gingerbreadreplica of the Bay View Historical Museum. Rave actually took measure-ments of the museum to make sure the replica was exactly to scale. Thechurch at right represents a combination of Notre Dame and St. FrancisXavier Church in Petoskey, though not exactly to scale. Rave said he spent20 hours on the museum and about 25 hours on the church. Everythingexcept the bases are edible. The gingerbread buildings are an annual cre-ation at The Terrace Inn, and they try to do one new design each year.Rave said one year he’s going to do Evelyn Hall. “That’s going to take a lotlonger than 20 hours,” he said.

Streets to sport new signs, two gates, speed bump

By John StakoeBay View Executive Director

The John M. Hall Auditorium proj-ect is off and running with a scheduledcompletion date for the first phase inJune.

Proposals for the upgrade weresubmitted by contractors in Novem-ber. A careful selection process wasdesigned including bid reviews andinterviews with the contractors andsubcontractors. Cole Inc. of TraverseCity was awarded the work and willbegin work by the beginning of March.

The summer experience in John M.Hall will be greatly enhanced with anew hearing loop sound system andspeakers, upgraded tech station, 300new seats and new blinds on the win-dows. The electrical system willundergo a significant lighting upgrade,and an ADA accessible ramp will bebuilt on the east side of the stage.

Priced at just over $1 million, thiscould not have been brought aboutwithout the tireless work of so manymembers serving on the Heart of BayView campaign. In addition, your gen-erosity will insure that Bay View will

continue as one of the premier facili-ties in Northern Michigan.

It is anticipated that next yearpainting, resurfacing of the floor andinstallation of the rest of the seatingcan be completed. The time frame forthe finalization of the work will bedependent on the collection ofpledges. Because donations have beencommitted over multiple years theconstruction has been adjusted tomeet the revenue stream. Great carehas been taken to insure a quality proj-ect for the greatest return on yourinvestment.

Phase I of Hall project scheduled for June completion

By Karen WeaverChair, Bay View Outreach

Providing education and spiritualinspiration for women was the initialobjective of Bay View’s Woman’sCouncil.

The Woman’s Council was found-ed at Evelyn Hall in 1890 by MarionTerhune Harland and Margaret Sang-ster. In a speech given that year Har-land stated. “I believe that the futureof the world to a great extent dependsupon its women.” In 1922, the clubwas re-formed in Chautauqua Cot-tage (its current home).

A tradition of active involvementbegan when Woman’s Council decid-ed to get Chautauqua Cottage “fittedup” so they could become theinnkeepers of women over the age of18. A contract with the Bay ViewAssociation gave them the right to usethe building in exchange for interiorupkeep. The women hosted “dimesocials,” candy pulls and social teas toraise funds.

In 1979, the Woman’s Councilchanged into the Woman’s Counciland Morning Council in order tofacilitate women who wanted to meetin the morning. Working together,the two groups contribute enormous-ly to Bay View needs and projectssuch as music scholarships, needs ofthe craft house, educational depart-ment needs, and worship.

With 150 members, today’sWomn’s Council focuses on a grandbazaar as its sole fundraising event.Starting about a decade ago, fundswere designated for outreach to thewider Bay View community. Whatev-er is raised ($8,000 in 2010) is splitbetween Bay View needs (such as theHeart of Bay View campaign) andsuch organizations as Manna,Planned Parenthood, Girl Scouts,Hospice and the Women’s ResourceCenter. The Petoskey community has

also benefited through the annualhigh-school scholarships sponsoredby Woman’s Council.

Last year’s grand bazaar took placeunder the direction of Ginny Smithand Rose Cooper. Smith estimatesthat the time volun-teered by Woman’sCouncil members forthe event totaled atleast a thousandhours. Subcommit-tees – such as arts andcrafts, auction items,cottage “treasures,”plants, baked goods,kid’s corner, luncheon – work all yearto prepare for this event.

“So much of this is enjoyable,”Smith said, but, “it does require a lotof coordination and legwork.”

In addition to providing Christianfellowship, fun and inspiration forBay View and Petoskey area womenthrough its activities and programs,the group provides hostesses and foodfor designated Bay View events, spon-

sors a blood drive, (Joyce Bailey JonesRed Cross Blood Drive), provideshelp for such Bay View projects asCrop Walk and Nothing But Nets,supplies ushers for Bay View Vespersand Wednesday night music festivalevents, and sponsors a tea for octoge-narian members.

When asked by the Bay ViewMembership Strategic Planning Com-mittee to list its volunteer activities,Joyce Giguere, president from 2007-2010, was told after she submittedher two-page list: “This is far toomuch, you need to use the one-pageform we gave you.”

“Using this form wouldn’t allowhalf of what the women do to be men-tioned,” Giguere said.

Commenting on her tenure asWoman’s Council president, Gigueresaid, “It has been one of the mostrewarding experiences of my life toget to work with the women of BayView and its surrounding communi-ties in fostering the ideal of service. Ithas also been satisfying to get tounderstand the history of Woman’sCouncil and how important thegroup has been in the historicwomen’s movement in this part of theworld.”

Giguere plans to serve on theWoman’s Council advisory board forthe next two years under the group’snew president, Betty Stevens. Hermain service, however, will now betaking care of her two grandsons, Jackand Alex, when they summer in BayView, which may leave a bit of timefor gardening and baking her leg-endary fruit pies.

To learn more about the group’shistory and the important role BayView Woman’s Council has played init, readers of The Town Crier areencouraged to read Mary Jane Doerr’sexcellent book, “Bay View, An Ameri-can Idea.”

Bay View participatesin annuity program

By Rob ZetterbergBay View Treasurer

The Bay View Association endedthe fiscal year in a strong financialposition with assets of $8.58 millionand for the first time prepared finan-cial statements in accordance withGenerally Accepted Accounting Prin-ciples (GAAP). This accomplishment

should give mem-bers confidencethat their Associa-tion’s finances arebeing managed andreported in a fash-ion that is consis-tent with standardaccounting prac-tices and those ofsimilar non-profits.

In addition, the revised financialstatements should provide improvedacceptance by grant awarding organi-zations and provide an improvedbaseline for future internal and exter-nal audits.

Changes prompted by GAAPinclude capitalizing fixed assets,recording depreciation expense andthe redefinition of the ReplacementFund as a Capital Fund reserve in the

Operating Fund. These changes areshown in red on the attached state-ments. The effect of these changesled to a substantial increase ($2.11million, net of accumulated deprecia-tion) in total assets as land, build-ings, and equipment were added tothe statement of financial position.

In 2010, comprehensive new cashhandling procedures were institutedand the Association conductednumerous internal audits to verifyfinancial system reforms. This com-ing year the Association’s financialsystems will undergo expanded inter-nal audits as we plan for an external

audit by our accountants, Bunker,Clark, Winnell, & Nuorala.

To further improve the financialcontrols of the Association’s invest-ments and comply with new Michi-gan Law, the Uniform Prudent Man-agement of Institutional Funds Act(UPMIFA), the Bay View Board ofTrustees has adopted new spending,investment, and gift acceptance poli-cies. Endowment and capital fundsinvested under the management ofThe Investment Fund for Founda-tions (TIFF) earned 15.44 percent

• Total revenues for PerformingArts were $390,260 and comparedfavorably to a budget of $354,076.The successes include: Vesper rev-enue exceeding budget by $14,770,Pops concerts, with the success ofSecond City in July, exceeding budg-et by $15,800; and student tuition,room and board exceeding budget by$15,825. The opera, musical, andrevue revenues finished the year con-sistent with their budgets.

• The Motown concert in Junegenerated $3,260 in donations tolocal charities as $5 of every ticketsold went to a charity chosen by thepatron. Total ticket sales were$13,602 and many of the ticket pur-chasers chose Bay View as their char-ity.

• Sunday worship collectionsagain were strong with collections of$63,630 compared to a budget of$60,000 and 2009’s collections of$64,414. Lectures also did well withcollections of $10,725 compared to abudget of $7,000 and last year’s col-lections of $8,419.

• The H.I.R.E. act signed into lawon March 18, 2010, saved Bay ViewAssociation $11,500 in payroll taxesfor 2010. The Hiring Incentives toRestore Employment act exempted

employers from paying the employ-er’s 6.2 percent share of social securi-ty tax on wages paid to new hireswho had been out of work at least 60days.

• In November 2009, the Associa-tion moved capital and endowmentfunds to professional fund managers:The Investment Fund for Founda-tions (TIFF). The capital and endow-ment funds invested with TIFF thispast fiscal year earned a return of15.44 percent. The capital fundended the year valued at $1.39 mil-lion and the endowment fund endedthe year valued at $3.54 million.

• In 2010, the Association becamecompliant with Generally AcceptedAccounting Principles (GAAP).What this means is the Bay ViewAssociation’s financial reports arepresented in a more conventionalfashion in terms of recognizing rev-enues and expenses, capitalizingassets and depreciating them overtheir useful lives, and reporting

property and equipment on the state-ment of financial position.

• Although some programs mayreflect higher expenses, this reflectsassignment of depreciation costs andnot an increase in program spending.

• The Association Audit Commit-tee, with the help of many volun-teers, conducted several internalaudits to test the Association’s finan-cial systems. The audits were suc-cessful and will be expanded in2011. Bay View also plans to have acomplete audit of 2011 by the Asso-ciation’s accounting firm, Bunker,Clark, Winnell, & Nuorala.

As we move into 2011 Bay View’sfinances are in good order and theAssociation continues to improve itsfinancial reporting in accordancewith GAAP; being m ore transparentand better able to provide the neces-sary tools to better manage theresources of the Bay View Associa-tion.

“Incredible summer” on tap for performing arts

See MUSIC, page 14

Emmet County Recycling is nowaccepting television sets, computermonitors, and both desktop and lap-top computers for free at the Drop-offCenter on Pleasantview Road.

The free computer and TV recy-cling is made possible by a 2008Michigan law requiring manufactur-ers who sell computers and TVs inthe state to provide a free and conven-ient way for customers to recycletheir old computers and TVs.

“Recycling TVs and monitors isimportant because they contain mate-rials which aren’t safe to landfill,” saidElisa Seltzer, Director of EmmetCounty Recycling. “However it has

been expensive. Now the manufactur-ers will pick up the tab.”

The Drop-off Center is located at7363 Pleasantview Rd., HarborSprings, and is open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.weekdays and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sat-urdays.

Recycling of other electronics, forexample telephones, fax machines,computer accessories, printers, DVDplayers, VCRs, and videogame con-soles will continue to carry a fee of $2per item. Large office-size copiers are$20 each. Cords, cables, keyboards,mice and the like are free when recy-cled with the associated equipment.

The “Electronic Waste Take-Back

Law” applies to computers and TVsfrom homes and businesses withunder 10 employees. An individualor qualifying business may drop-offup to seven items per day under thelaw.

“The law wisely creates a systemwhich rewards everyone for doing theright thing,” Seltzer said. “The cus-tomer gets to recycle their equipmentconveniently and at no cost – a nicesavings over paying to throw it away.”

In addition, Seltzer said, the lawmakes manufacturers responsible forthe cost of recycling, giving themincentive to make products easilyrecyclable.

By the Rev. Marshall DunlapDirector of Recreation

While Swift Field is currentlyburied under more than a foot of snow,and our recreation buildings are unoc-cupied and bitterly cold, another largeand capable staff is being assembled,and another summer of cherishedmemories is beingplanned for you andyour children! Asthe new recreationdirector, I am send-ing and receivingemails, talking withpotential staff mem-bers on the phone,and carefully re-viewing budget pro-jections, to ensure that the best possi-ble program is offered again this sum-mer.

Decades ago, Ernie Gray coined thephrase “fun and recreation for all.” Afew years ago, we built on that senti-ment to adopt a new motto of “fun,recreation and growth for all.” Thissummer we will again focus on mak-ing sure campers and staff all experi-ence that as our way of life, not just amotto.

Our aim has always been to haveevery participant “look out for each

other,” and we will provide new train-ing tools to make sure that aim isachieved. Each Friday during the eightweek season there is an All Boys’ andGirls’ Club event. This year, we expectto add one or two new Friday activi-ties, so that long time campers havesome new things to look forward to,along with their favorites.

Monday nights during weeks 1-6 ofthe summer season (June and July) weinvite the whole community to join usat Swift Field for our popular Hot DogRoasts. Many families bring a salad orveggies to supplement the two hotdogs, buns, beverage, plate and napkinthat we provide for $3, and an averageof 400+ enjoy a community wide pic-nic. This year, we hope to provideadditional shelter, so that more cancomfortably attend, rain or shine. Wealso are exploring the opportunity toprovide free musical entertainmentmany nights, and perhaps even theopportunity to purchase a fresh bakedpie for the same price as you would getif your drove into Petoskey! Ourgroups also sell cookies and cupcakeseach week, so dessert is always avail-able for a little bit more than the $3.

This summer, we also hope to sup-plement our traditional programmingwith some evening and/or weekend

opportunities. Somewhat along thelines of what we do on Fridays, whenboys and girls of all ages do thingstogether, these evening or weekendprograms will offer group games thatemphasize team building and fosterrelationships across age groups.

If you have never participated inour recreation program, or did and forwhatever reason thought it wasn’t foryou or your children, we hope you willconsider it again. We will be doingsome exciting new things, as we seekto build on the strong traditions andrespond to a rapidly changing world.

We recognize that some childrenare athletic, some prefer academics,some are shy, and others are gregari-ous. Some children are fast, I wasalways very, very slow. Some kids areunusually strong, some would rathernot exert themselves. We try to offer arange of programs that is broadenough that every child broadens hisof her interest, and learns to do thingsthey didn’t know they could. Throughgentle encouragement and fostering anatmosphere of supportive community,we seek to build self esteem and helpeach child gain confidence, as theygrow and mature. We look forward toworking with you to achieve thesegoals!



Rec blending new opportunities, traditional favorites

Marshall Dunap

Emmet County offers free recycling of TVs, computers

dance with high standards for non-profit organizations. This is to bringBay View’s business under GAAP, Gen-erally Accepted Accounting Principles.There are many to thank for thisincluding the leadership and hardwork of David Hartnett and BarbaraMerrell.

This is the third year in which thetotal amount of Bay View fees to lease-holders has not been increased. Theeffort of the administration, board andfinance committee is to hold the linewhile improving services and program.This year an effort will be made to iden-tify and establish adequate reserves forBay View’s campus grounds and 31public buildings for the future.

Museum. The board authorizedneeded improvements of the house for-merly used by the security officer formuseum purposes. The building, with anew roof, foundation, leveling and elec-trical, will provide space for storage,exhibits, a museum library and anoffice. It should be ready for use in theearly summer with a move from storagespace in the auditorium freeing upspace there for program needs.

Auditorium Improvements. Execu-tive Director John Stakoe and Superin-tendent of Buildings and Grounds Dave

Ellis are proceeding with constructionin the John M Hall Auditorium, whichJohn writes about on page 4. As a resultof the generous donations and pledgesof many, the underlining basic improve-ments, sound, electrical, lighting andfirst phase of seating, have now beenstarted. Additional seating, floor repairand painting will take place in the fall.

Lot Value Index Study. An apprais-al report has been received andreviewed by the board. This report isintended to promote a more equitableallocation of rent between lots. Thisyear rent represented 40 percent of BayView total leasehold charges and is tobe 30 percent next year. The report doesnot give appraised values of lots.Rather, it gives an index of relative val-ues as all lots are considered together ora certain percentage of the total rent tobe collected. The index reflects all rele-vant market factors, such as location,size, access, lake frontage and view,amenities and relevant discount factorsrelated to the highway. In the past, lotvalues have been arbitrary and notreflecting relevant market factors. Theboard decided to hold a meeting formembers for an explanation of thereport in early summer with adequatenotice to all leaseholders.

Traffic Changes. In order to ensureadequate fire protection and on recom-mendation of staff, the board author-

ized a gate at the end of Terrace accessi-ble only by the fire department for firepurposes. On page 12, John Stakoereports on other traffic improvements.

Post Office Improvements. Theboard is looking at a better use of spacewithin the post office and serving otherneeds than just the post office, such asticket and apparel sales and coffee. Theboard will consider this further in itsphone meeting Monday, March 14.

Tax Appeal. The board met withthe property tax attorney to review thetax appeal filed by the Association.This is a long process and it is in anearly stage.

Register for Bay View News. Wecontinue to urge everyone to registerwith the office by phone, email or U.S.mail to provide your email address forreceiving communications from BayView. It is so easy to do an email blast,rather than incur the cost of snail mail.

Open Winter Phone Meetings. Theboard holds phone conference meetingsin winter months and will try to makethis more member-friendly by provid-ing notice on the web site. In the mem-ber portion of the web site are postingsof meeting notices and agendas. Thosewishing to listen in may call into theconference number and access boardmeetings. Please check the web site.

Friday morning between 9:30 and 11 a.m., each of thesewomen will be in a different room in Evelyn Hall to meetindividually with any of us who would like to learn moreabout their stories.

We are so grateful and excited to be able to offer thisunique experience to our Chautauqua community. We arealso grateful to the Worship and Religious Life Department,which is co-sponsoring this event. Mark your calendars andwe’ll see you there! A terrific book to read in preparation forthis WISDOM event is “The Faith Club,” which is availableat your neighborhood bookstore and at Amazon.com.
