Coming to Bay View 2011
A scene from the
movie version
of “Grease” with
Olivia NewtonJohn (left) and
John Travolta.
Bay View Artistic Director Chris
Ludwa has announced that the
Association will produce “Grease”
as the musical for 2011.
The thrill of seeing so many
youth and community members
involved in the theatre has brought
new energy and focus to the desire
to involve young people and pro-
duce shows that are family-friendly,
he said. “Grease” has parts available
for everyone from 12 years old to
adults, so put on your dancin’ shoes,
slick back your hair and prepare for
a rockin ‘n’ rollin’ good time.
The production dates will be
announced soon, along with the
opera, youth theatre and revue.
By-Law proposals rejected; board officers unchanged
Bay View members rejected three
proposals to amend the Bay View ByLaws at the Saturday, Aug. 7, Annual
Meeting.
The proposal to amend section 61
regarding breach of peace, that would
have extended the hours of quiet from
6 p.m. to 8 a.m., went down to defeat
261-318.
A proposal to amend section 41-B
regarding dates of occupancy, to allow
unrestricted access to cottages outside
the May 1 to Nov. 1 occupancy dates,
was overwhelmingly rejected, 124483.
A proposal to amend section 66
regarding motorcycles, which would
allow mopeds, motorbikes or motor
scooters with a valid operating
license, was soundly defeated 174403.
There were no contested seats on
the board of trustees, with all three
candidates, the Rev. David Kidd, Dr.
www.bayviewassociation.org
Glenn Stevens, and Robert Zetterberg
automatically winning three year
terms.
There also were no changes to the
board officers. Larry Ternan remains
as president, Stevens is vice president,
Rose Crandell is secretary and Barbara
Merrell continues as treasurer.
The next board meeting is 8:30
a.m. today, Friday, Aug. 20, at the
Wade Administration Building board
room.

About those barricades
at Fern and encampment
Your Operations Committee has been trying to make
our streets safer for all – pedestrians, bikers and drivers!
Those temporary barricades were set up to make the
Fern and Encampment corner more like usual corners –
well-seen stop signs, defined parking area, “stop” painted
on the pavement for drivers and bikers to obey, and definite
pedestrian walkways.
Please obey our traffic signs and be kind to all, as we
know, that corner can be very confusing when the auditorium is in use. Thanks for your help.
Bikers, please:
1. Stay on the right side of the street, just as cars do.
This is not England.
2. Stop when the signs say STOP.
3. Wear bright colors so you can be seen.
4. No lights on your bike – then no riding at night.
5. Family riding groups be extra watchful – little folks
are a bit unpredictable.

Chautauquans gather at New york institution
This past week, participants from
seven different chautauquas gathered
at the Chautauqua Institution in New
York for the annual Chautauqua
Network meeting.
Glenn and Betty Stevens and Betsy
Loyd Harvey represented Bay View at
the meeting this year.
The Chautauqua Network is “a
group of organizations and individuals
committed to the communication and
implementation of the chautauqua
concept of building community …
The Chautauqua Network facilitates
interaction among its members to further their preservation, growth and
development.” It is open to anyone
who loves their chautauqua!
Among the exciting ideas discussed
at the meeting was a proposal to create
a Chautauqua Trail website. The site
would operate as a hub of information
about chautauquas to encourage people to visit chautauquas. It would be
targeted especially to young retirees
interested in cultural heritage tourism
and lifelong learning. People could use
the site to learn about each of the
chautauquas’ programs and to plan
visits to them. The site would even
provide directions from your house to
each of the chautauquas. The proposal
was approved, so look for a chautauquatrail.com in the coming
months.
A group of people from a newlyreorganized chautauqua in Muskoka,
Ontario, reported on a successful first
year of programming. Basing their programs in two area hotels, their programs included children’s music and
arts camp, Aboriginal arts programs,
artist-in-residence classes, educational
lectures, and a reading circle and book
list.
The Chautauqua Institution reported that they will be featured on the
PBS documentary series, “American
Experience,” this January. Plans to
show the documentary in Bay View
next summer are already in the works.
The Chautauqua Network will
meet next summer at Epworth
Assembly, in Ludington, SundayTuesday, July 24-26. We hope to see
significant participation among Bay
View members, staff and board. Betsy
Loyd Harvey will also be a featured
speaker, on the history of programming at chautauquas.
If you are interested in attending or
getting more information about the
Network, contact Betty or Glenn
Stevens.

Manna collecting
snack packs for
needy area kids
The Manna Food Project is collecting snack packs to put into school
backpacks for needy children in
Emmet County.
Snack packs are four individual
portions put together in a package.
They are comprised of pudding, jello,
applesauce or fruit, and they usually
sell for around a dollar. Any kind of
snack pack, including sugar-free, is
welcome.
Other groups in our area are donating other items for the backpacks. A
box has been placed in the Bay View
Post Office for the Bay View donations.
Remember when you are packing
up your cottage to leave for the season
that your pantry items can be donated
to the Manna Food Project.
Either use the box in the Bay View
Post Office or call them at 347-8852
for a pick up.

Members of the Memorial Garden
Committee and volunteers shared gardening stories as they paid fond tribute to their long-time director Jean
Long at the annual potluck Friday,
Aug. 13
In addition to praising her organizational skills and passionate knowledge of plants, Jean was celebrated for
her nurturing a spirit of inclusivity on
the team. Saturday work sessions have
become a rewarding highlight of the
Bay View week for everyone who participates. “She makes everyone of us
feel welcome,” one long-time garden
volunteer said. “The team represents
Bay View’s ideal of community at its
very best.”
Other volunteers spoke of Jean’s
commitment to an evolving garden
design that reflects a concern for use
of water resources and organic gardenwww.bayviewassociation.org
ing. At the weekly 9 a.m. Saturday
work session in the garden, volunteers
presented Jean with a lovely necklace
of Leland Stone as a commemoration
of her 10-plus years serving as the Bay
View Memorial Garden Director.
Thanks went out to Larry Bentley,
Sarah Robb, Bob Ferguson and Jean for
serving as joint coordinators of this
year’s Saturday work sessions. Warm
appreciation was extended to all the
faithful garden volunteers whose hard
work made the Memorial Garden such
a beautiful sanctuary of peace and
reflection in the 2010 season.
New volunteers are encouraged to
join in the weekly work sessions 9-11
a.m. Saturdays at the Garden on the
lakefront adjacent to Stafford’s Bay
View Inn and the Reed Street Station.

A growing asset
Trees help make Bay View special place
Big Cedar preservation completed
A cross section of “Beloved Big Cedar: An Icon
During Bay View’s First 25 Years” has been preserved by Bay View maintenance with grant funds
from the William Davis Green Foundation. The tree
was placed on campus by the Bay View Reading
Circle of 1901. Big Cedar and the Reading Circle
Rock 1900 are projects of the Historic Awareness
Committee. Pictured above (left to right) are Billy
Green, Joan Talley, Jim Fisk and Eric Mize, all board
members of the William Davis Green Foundation.

The beautiful trees on Association grounds are part of
what makes Bay View such a special place.
The trees on the campus alone are valued at $500,000. It
would cost close to $3 million in today’s dollars to grow these
trees from the time of planting to their present size. These
estimates are part of a comprehensive assessment and inventory recently conducted by Mr. Ben Veling, a certified
arborist with Timberwolf Tree Care of Harbor Springs.
Veling used a scale of 0 to 5 to rate the health of each tree.
Trees at the lower end of the scale are often in decline and
may need to be replaced.
The round, numbered tags, which were attached to the
campus trees this year, designate a line item in a log kept at
Russell Hall. Record is kept of the botanical name of each
tree, its relative health, and its location on the campus. This
information has proven to be immensely helpful to our
grounds crew not only in locating the trees but also in tracking the maintenance needs of each tree.
Many of our trees are nearing the end of a normal life and
eventually will be replaced. Early Association members
planted some of the tall maples and beech trees. In recent
years red and pin oaks, horse chestnuts, little leaf lindens,
tree lilacs, and hybrid elms have been planted in public areas.
Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds Dave Ellis and
his staff, with the help of the Tree Replacement Committee,
have made an effort to have a more diverse tree population.
Having a variety can lessen effects of an infestation that
attacks a single species. As the emerald ash borer moves
across the country, entire areas are losing all their ash trees.
Education on tree planting and care will be an ongoing
part of the collaboration between Veling and our grounds
crew. Take time to thank crew members when you see them
tending to the trees. Because of their work, the trees will
remain a growing asset to our community.

much.
