Thanks to the generous support ofthe Petoskey-Harbor Springs AreaCommunity Foundation, Bay ViewMusic Festival is launching a three-week project designed to show theinfluence of music and nostalgia onthe human condition.

The project will culminate in a pre-show talent contest and sing-off justbefore the performance of Let’s HangOn: “A Tribute to Frankie Valli andthe Four Seasons” at 8 p.m. Saturday,July 9, in Hall Auditorium.

In light of the popularity of bothAmerican Idol and Glee and Bay ViewMusic Festival’s mission to foster bothprofessional and community music-making in all generations, we are col-laborating with the Petoskey News-Review, area radio stations, schools,and community music organizationsto produce a multi-generational cele-bration of amateur talent in the area.

Entries will be accepted in five agecategories: 10-18, 19-30, 31-50, 50-70, and 70+. The theme for all singingcontest entries is music of the 50’s and60’s, which has been proven rich withnostalgia for people of all generations.

To enter, applicants should send an

email with Sing-Off Entry in the sub-ject line to [email protected],suggest what song they’d like to sing,age category, and the festival will con-tact the applicant and supply thekaraoke track on the July 9 event from5-7 p.m., which is free and open to thepublic.

The nostalgia and music interviewsare similar to NPR’s StoryCorps proj-ect in which individuals take the timeto record their memories in an effortto better archive and understand theAmerican experience. The Bay Viewproject will focus on memories,

music, and nostalgia, in particularthat around the 1950’s and 1960’s,when Frankie Valli was most popular.

The process for recording an inter-view is simple. Parties should send aone to three paragraph memory of howmusic defined an aspect of their livesvia email to [email protected] byMonday, July 4. Those submitting theinfomation will then be contacted bythe office to set up a brief interview oncamera. The interview will be uploadedto the web site for all to view and enjoy.Several of the interviews will be playedat the event on July 9.

Prizes will be donated by local andregional businesses and will be award-ed to semi-finalists and finalists of thesinging contest.

In honor of the idea that all entriesare winners and to encourage a spiritof community over competition, allentrants will receive discounted tick-ets for select Bay View Music Festivalevents in the summer that aredesigned specifically toward intergen-erational experiences.

Sundays at the Library continuesthis week with a brief history of theCivilian Conservation Corps (CCC) inMichigan.

During the 1930s, the CCC notonly helped to put men back to work,but also helped to repair much of thedevastation of Michigan that cameabout from the lumber industry.Michigan historian Rob Burg will pres-ent “The CCC and the Reforestation ofNorthern Michigan” at 3 p.m. Sunday,

June 26, in Voorhies Hall.

Rob Burg has been the historian andmuseum manager of both the HartwickPines Logging Museum and theMichigan CCC Museum since 1998.These museums are part of theMichigan Historical Museum system ofthe Department of Natural Resources.

Mr. Burg is a lifelong Michigan resi-dent; he grew up in Chelsea and spentmuch of his life visiting NorthernMichigan. He has a B.S. in History from

Eastern Michigan University andattended graduate school there forHistoric Preservation/HeritageInterpretation and Tourism.

Mr. Burg’s previous professionalexperience includes the MackinacIsland Historic Parks, Henry FordMuseum and Greenfield Village andthe Path of Progress National HeritageArea. He has written several articles onboth logging and CCC history for mag-azines and professional journals.

At 8 p.m. Wednesday, June 29, inHall Auditorium, join Bay View BrassQuintet, Bay View String Quartet, andthe duo of Jeffrey Picon (tenor) andYu-Lien The (piano) in “PushingBoundaries.”

The program features music thatsounds benign to our ears now, butwhich pushed the envelope of accept-ability when it was premiered.

The evening begins with a histori-cally significant piece, when the BayView Brass Quintet will perform Jean-Francois Bellon’s most well-knownbrass quintet. Bellon, a violinist andcomposer who studied at the ParisConservatoire, wrote 12 four-move-ment brass quintets, the first piecesever to have been written for that par-ticular instrumentation (consisting oftwo trumpets, horn, trombone, andtuba.)

Following this, Jeffery Picon andYu-Lien The will collaborate on FranzLiszt’s three “Sonetti di Petrarca,”which uses three of the famous poet’ssonnets as the lyrics, though they arebetter known as their piano solocounterparts (the “Annees dePelerinage” or “Years of Pilgrimage”).

The Bay View String Quartet,which consists of violinists I-FuWang, Wanchi Huang, violistChristine Rutledge, and visiting cellist

Jeffrey Lastrapes, will presentBeethoven’s String Quartet No. 11 in Fminor, known more commonly as the“Serioso” quartet. The powerful the-matic contrasts and virtuosic violinflourishs will delight today’s audi-ences, but they would have been quiteout of character in 1810, when thepiece was completed.

You can order tickets by phone at

800-595-4849 or online atwww.bayviewfestival.org. For thosewanting to purchase in person, theBay View Box Office is open 9:30 a.m.-12 p.m. Monday through Saturdayand one hour prior to concerts.

For families looking for a meaning-ful outing in Bay View, a walk to theMemorial Garden can be a perfect“teaching moment.”

Share with them that these beauti-ful flowers grow in memory to peoplewho lived among us. To show our love,we give them a gift of living beauty.

From the paths, encourage childrenrespectfully to watch for some of thenatural wonders that remind us howwe are connected – in life and death –to all living creatures. Gardens areabout life.

Try to find: 1) A weeping larch tree;

2) A nearly perfect square woodpeckerhole (near the half-circle of benches);2) Our garden “snake” (a dark patternin a large pink rock on the path closestto the lake); 4) Hosta Hill (plants don’tneed flowers to be beautiful); 5) Thegarden chimes (in the pines overhead)that sing to us in the wind.

There is an open invitation to gar-den with the crew 9-11 a.m. everySaturday, another precious time oflearning and sharing. No experiencerequired. We supply the tools.

Children of all ages are welcomeand encouraged.

Hello. My name is StephanieOverton. I grew up on a farm inPetoskey with my two brothers andtwo sisters.

My parents started ConcordAcademy, a local Charter School,which is where I received my dancetraining under Sylvia Jania, GarySchils, Karrie Benedict and JodyAdgate.

After graduation, I moved to AnnArbor and graduated with a degree indance from the University ofMichigan. Following a small hiatus inVermont, I am back in Petoskey teach-ing modern dance.

As the choreographer of “Grease,”I start by collecting information –footage, 1940’s musical history andsocio-economic history of each song.Then, I read the script and write downmy impressions.

It is important to have a definableset of limits before even listening tothe music so that I don’t start choreo-graphing moves that felt good andgroovy but do not compliment themeaning of the show.

What interests me about “Grease”is how I can develop a movement pro-gression that mirrors the social evolu-tion of rock ‘n’ roll: From the verybeginnings of gyration (the desire to

move) to the full explosion of sensual-ity and cool – the most urgent physi-cality.

Linnea (director Linnea George-Kupfer) has talked in past TownCriers about the challenges of direct-

ing “Grease,” and I can relate with her.The challenge I face is the fact that Inever officially studied the Lindy Hop,Boogaloo, or Rock ‘n’ Roll dance (I doknow how to hand jive!) and I am tooyoung to fool anyone into thinkingI’m an expert on the subject.

Therefore, I have decided to createa more modern “movement-impres-sion” of the feelings teenagers experi-ence as they become more familiarwith their bodies and are introducedinto the adult world.

Obviously, the year 1959 is myguideline for what movements tochoose. I have put together a move-ment vocabulary of steps that werepopular at that time to use as myinspiration.

But rather than being driven bythose steps alone, I am going to imple-ment the progression in whichinstinctual movement becomes atrend, so by the time I have workedthis captivating process on the actors,they will have a movement cultureunique to this production.

The implications are fascinating!What you will see in “Grease” on July29 and 30 is a unique set of dances:historical indication mixed with con-temporary interpretation that is spe-cific to this very show. Don’t miss it.

Wow!

As I write these words, Swift Fieldis filled with activity, the Fawn houseis alive with 5-6 year olds, Tot Lot isbuzzing with little ones ... and the2011 recreation season is under way.

By the time you read these words,the first Monday Night Hot Dog Roastwill already be history. For those whohave never enjoyed our less thangourmet dining experience, we startserving hot dogs at 6 p.m. everyMonday night from now through themonth of July – except for July 4.

Bring blankets or lawn chairs, andany dishes you need to round out yourmeal. We provide two grilled hotdogs, with fresh bakery buns, and acan of soda pop or bottle of water, allfor $3 per person.

After we pay for expenses, any pro-ceeds help defray the costs of thingslike weekend lifeguards, craft housestaff and supplies, and various otherparts of our program for which we donot charge fees.

Each year it is important to reviewvarious rules and safety procedures,and we will try to include some inthese pages most weeks. Today I havebeen asked to remind everyone ofsome of the rules at the beach.

Please observe the rules posted onthe lifeguard chair (we hope to havean easier to find sign, near the drink-ing fountain, as soon as such a signcan be created). The beach has life-guards on duty from 11 a.m.-5 p.m.Monday through Friday, from 10 a.m.-

5 p.m. on Saturdays, and from 1-5p.m. on Sundays. Parents and grand-parents, please help us by encouragingyour youngsters to:

1. Follow all posted rules, whetheror not it is after hours.

2. Do not swim in the boating area,nor on the west side of our bathingdock, as they are unguarded.

3. Respect the guidance and direc-tion of the lifeguards, as they seek tohelp everyone enjoy the beach safely.

4. Parents, please help keep an eyeon your children in the baby pool!Our guards are trained to be attentive,but cannot possibly watch 20-30 chil-dren as closely as each individual par-ent does. Our first priority is keeping

every individual child safe at all times.

5. More to follow in the weeks tocome.

Reminder: There will be no HotDog Roast on the 4th of July.However, we have made arrangementswith the Grand Traverse Pie Companyto have fresh baked pies available forsale on the 4th, after the parade. Theysell pies in town for $13, we will sellthem here for $15.

Children at Boys’ and Girls’ Clubwill have order forms by next week,and you can buy apple, cherry, blue-berry or mixed berry pies. All pro-ceeds will be pooled with normal bakesale receipts to support the activitiesat Boys’ and Girls’ Club.

As in years past, each Hot DogRoast will include a bake sale.Families of various groups will beasked to bake items to sell:

• June 20 – Baked goods wereprovided by staff

• June 27 – Bunnies (original rulesbaseball demo at 7 p.m., SwiftField, after roast)
