Local artist soprano Maureen Delaney-Lehman sings the role of Frasquita, and Mercedes is sung by mezzo soprano, Doretta Furstenberg.

“Carmen” is an opera in four acts and was not well received when it was first performed in 1878. People expected a light comic plot, but instead witnessed a passionate love story with a tragic ending. It’s main

Two questions are frequently asked regarding the “Chautauqua Fee.” What does the fee cover? How is the fee distributed?First, one needs a little explanation about the four programs in our Association. For budgeting and

reporting purposes each program is listed in our budget showing all revenues that are directly related to that program. Direct revenues would be ticket sales, recreation fees, donations, payouts from an endowment or designated funds, etc. On the expense side, only the directly related expenses are shown. Those expenses would be for the Program Director, interns, professional musicians, student leaders, teachers etc. When an income or an expense is designated in its entirety for a program then that is what is shown in the budget income or budget expense line. What is more difficult to see are the indirect expenses. Primarily those expenses appear under administration and building and grounds. Those expenses are clearly not just for one program….for instance, the Executive Director and the Wade Administration staff. Their time and expenses are not charged or prorated to each program in the program expense line. Those expenses constitute a “bucket” of expenses and become the number that must be raised by assessing each cottage a “Chautauqua Fee.” One way to explain this might be to say that the “Chautauqua Fee” that you pay covers or is distributed to cover the indirect expenses of the four programs. For the 2016 budget the Chautauqua fee was $2,210 per cottage. Half billed in March and the other half to be billed in October.

If one examines the last five (5) years of operating budgets (posted in the Mid-Winter Bulletin), the direct revenues vs. direct expenses for each of the four programs would look like this.

The measurement below is a five-year summary of direct income compared to direct expense:Worship – Income $662, 578 vs Expense $651,428 Surplus $11,149Performing Arts – Income $2,238,627 vs Expense $2,584,722 Deficit $346,095Recreation – Income $1,270,556 vs Expense $1,283,612 Deficit $13,056Education – Income $206,250 vs Expense $209,888 Deficit $3,638Over that same five year period the cottagers contributed $5,233,838 (The Chautauqua Fee) to cover the indirect

expenses needed to operate the four programs. Please call or write should you have questions or want a further explanation. Also, members should be aware that they are

welcome to attend the Finance Committee Meetings. Meetings are at 9 a.m. Friday, July 15, in Wade Child Board Room; Friday, July 29, Old Board Room in Hall Auditorium, Wed., Aug. 17 in Wade Child Board Room; and Thursday, Sept. 1, Wade Child Board Room.

Grammy Winning Songwriter Paula ColePerforming Live in John M. Hall Auditorium Friday, July 8, at 8 p.m.

From her jazz, rock and soul roots, sophisticated writing and production, her touring and collaboration with Peter Gabriel and a Grammy-winning solo recording, Paula Cole is complex and defies any one category. Her undeniably authentic voice simply allows the songs to speak for themselves. Cole, an artist and songwriter, presents a night of her hit songs and unique interpretive stylings.

In addition to singing, Cole performs on numerous instruments, including her main instrument, piano, as well as a Roland Juno synthesizer, Juno bass, tube Wurlitzer, harmonium, beat boxing vocals, toy xylophone, didjeridoo,

clarinet, Fender Rhodes electric piano, Rhodes bass, Moog synthesizer, and low tuned-electric guitar in different songs.

Her hit song, “I Don’t Want to Wait,” was used as the theme song on the TV show “Dawson’s Creek.” In 1997, her song “Where Have All the Cowboys Gone” reached the top 10 of Billboard’s Hot 100. A year later, she won the Grammy award for Best New Artist. Other hit songs include: “I Believe in Love,” “Happy Home,” and “Amen.”

Tickets for Paula Cole are available online at www.bayviewassociation.org and begin at $25 for general admission.

Audubon Bird Walk Held in Bay View WoodsThe Petoskey Regional Audubon

Society held a walk in the Bay View Woods that attracted 16 participants last Friday. Led by Bay View Woods Committee member Tracy Datlen, the group was able to identify 25 species of birds by sight and by sound. The walk was free and open to the public. Participants included Bay View resi-dents, Audubon Society members and visitors to the area.

The walk started at the Water Street tennis courts. The route covered parts

of Memorial Trail, Deer Trail and Old Indian Trail. The trees are complete-ly leafed out which makes finding the birds of the canopy a challenge. Familiar summer residents such as the Red-eyed Vireos, Ovenbirds and Black-throated Green Warblers were heard throughout the walk.

A highlight of the walk was spotting the male Scarlet Tanager. Brilliant red with contrasting black wings, the male is unmistakable but rarely seen. The female is even more difficult to see because her green feathers effectively conceal her in the trees.

The Scarlet Tanager is a species that requires a true forest habitat. The entire Bay View Woods is large enough to support just one breeding pair. It is quite remarkable that the Bay View Community is just steps away from this elusive species. If you’d like to see this beautiful bird, listen for his song which

is often described as “a robin with a sore throat.” His song may guide you to his location as he defends his territory with his voice. When he sings, he is high in the trees. From time to time – if you are quiet and alert – both the male and female may be seen at nearly eye-level along the Deer Trail boardwalk.

Other birds that were seen during the walk included a Black-and-White Warbler, an Eastern Wood Pewee, Cedar Waxwings, White-breasted Nuthatch, Black-capped Chickadees, American

Goldfinch and the Chipping Sparrow. The Winter Wren sang its charming song and was tantalizingly close; but did not reveal itself. The Ruffed Grouse drummed repeatedly and stayed deep in cover. The magical flute-like song of the Wood Thrush was heard several

times. The weather was perfect, bright and sunny with no

annoying bugs. The trails are in good condition.  

Note: Monday afternoon Woods Walks will begin on June 20th at 3:30 p.m. Each week’s walk will last about an hour. The first walk will start at Old Indian Trail on Knapp Avenue. For variety, each week the walk will begin at

a different location. List of birds identified by sight or

sound during the walk:Ruffed Grouse  Mourning Dove Red-bellied Woodpecker   Downy Woodpecker  Pileated Woodpecker   Eastern Wood-Pewee  Great Crested Flycatcher  Red-eyed Vireo  Blue Jay   American Crow   Black-capped Chickadee Tufted Titmouse   White-breasted Nuthatch  Winter Wren   Wood Thrush   American Robin  Cedar Waxwing  Ovenbird  Black-and-white Warbler  Common Yellowthroat  Black-throated Green Warbler Chipping Sparrow  White-throated Sparrow  Scarlet Tanager  American Goldfinch 

Birders of all ages participated in the Audubon Bay View Woods Walk.

The black wings and round head of the male Scarlet Tanager distinguish it from the Northern Cardinal.

2016 Bay View Post Office Reminders

Submissions to the Town Crier: Please email your articles and photos to Tamara Stevens ([email protected]) at the Administrative Office by 5 p.m. Monday for inclusion in that week’s Friday publication. Thank you very much.

The Annual Bay View 4th of July Parade will kick-off another busy 4th filled with festivities. Every year our parade gets bigger and better. (Mother Nature has never let us down.) This year should be no different. The parade plan-ning committee is looking for new and interesting groups or individuals who want to join in the fun. It’s not too soon to be planning to attend this year’s Bay View 4th of July Parade.

Last year the Boy Scouts sold new American flags at Voorhies at the conclusion of the parade. Several cottagers bought new flags to replace worn or faded ones. The Boy Scouts also collect used flags for proper disposal. At this point in our planning we believe that will happen again this year. So if it’s time to replace a faded flag this would be a great time and way to do that.

If you need more information about the parade please contact Ric Loyd at 347-8294 or email [email protected].

Begins at the Bay View Post Office at 10 a.m.

as one paragraph. We hope you will share with us your Brief Memoirs. 

 If you’d like to submit your writing on that and other topics for the 2016 issue, please mail or email your poems, essays, memoirs, or short fiction—about Bay View or any subject—to Scott Drinkall, 890 Intertown Rd., Petoskey, MI 49770 or  [email protected].
