EMBRACING RECOVERY MONTH IN NORTHERN MICHIGAN
Bear River Health (BRH) and Community Recovery Alliance (CRA) are celebrating Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month this September aiming to raise awareness of recovery-oriented systems of care. Both entities share a mission to provide resources that promote prevention, treatment, and sustained recovery for those seeking lives of sobriety, free from excessive substance use.
Substance use disorder (SUD) has been classified as a chronic illness, much like diabetes or COPD, it has a long-term recovery path that must be consistently monitored to keep it under control. “Most people don’t realize that SUD is a brain disease,” explains Anja Angel, Executive Director of CRA. “It is scientifically proven that excessive substance use changes the brain’s chemical receptors and can cause compulsive drug seeking, which leads to using and relapse. It’s a terrible way to live – and the stigma around drug use compounds things; that needs to change so people who need help will seek it.”
Michigan is one of many states currently experiencing an opioid epidemic. Fatal opioid related overdoses increased 15% in 2020 over 2019. In Michigan in 2019, over 1.3 million people, age 12 and older, admitted abuse of an illicit drug, and 615,000 individuals in that same demographic sought treatment for excessive substance use. Part of the problem can be traced to illicit drug use, drugs that are illegal but obtainable, such as Meth, Heroin, and Cocaine. But a quieter factor stems from prescription medicines (Opioids) that are routinely prescribed by doctors for pain and other ailments. These substances can also become addictive and may be a gateway for unsuspecting individuals.
"The good news is that substance use disorder can be treated successfully," Executive Director of Bear River Health Daniel Hartman explains, “each year during Alcohol and Addiction Recovery Month, our staff recommits to providing support to people who want to maintain a balanced and healthy lifestyle. With multiple levels of treatment options that include residential and outpatient opportunities, BRH staff are proud of their work; providing service with the knowledge and compassion that anyone can recover and manage their conditions successfully. Our core mission is to ‘save lives and foster growth’ and our team takes that mission to heart."
All are invited to a special celebration on Saturday, September 25 from 4:30-7:00 PM at Bay Front Park in Petoskey. The event will celebrate sobriety through the talents of our recovery community and will feature an open mic, live music, speakers, pizza, resources and more! If you or someone you love is living in or seeking recovery and wants to share at this event, please contact Anja@crami.org.

Eta Nu Wraps BC Kids in Warmth with "Dress for a Chill"
Summer is waning, fall’s beautiful but cooler temperatures are upon us, and we know that winter’s cold and snow are not far behind. For the past 14 years, the women of Eta Nu Charities have conducted their annual “Dress for Chill” program to purchase and distribute new winter outerwear for children in need in the Boyne City community. Last year, Eta Nu helped 167 area preschool and elementary students stay warm through the freezing winter months by providing them with jackets, snow pants, boots, hats and mittens.
The need for this program seems more acute each year. With the lingering pandemic and many families still struggling economically from the fall-out of disappearing jobs and businesses, the income required to provide warm winter clothes for growing children often isn’t available.
That’s where Eta Nu comes in. Beginning in September, committee members will be working together in an all-out effort to raise money to dress these children. The Dress for Chill team works all year to purchase warm weather clothing at the best possible prices, often taking advantage of end-of-season sales. They buy, sort, catalog and store all the purchases and then finally match each child with new outdoor clothing for winter before the snow flies.
This major project takes a lot of planning – and a lot of funding. The funds to support it are raised solely through donations from community organizations, local businesses and individuals. It is truly a community project and Eta Nu members are grateful for the assistance and support we have received in the past. Helping our local children stay safe and warm during our cold winter season is imperative.
Please consider becoming a part of this vitally important program. All donations are tax deductible. Checks may be made out to Eta Nu Charities/Dress for Chill and sent to P.O. Box 133, Boyne City, MI 49712. To learn more about this project, visit us at our booth at the Harvest Festival on Saturday, September 25 from 8am to 4pm

CHARLEVOIX COUNTY COMMISSION ON AGING -
CHARLEVOIX COUNTY SENIORS CENTERS WILL REMAIN CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC
Update for the beginning of September regarding the Senior Centers in Charlevoix County as our initial intention was to only close the Senior Centers for the month of August.
We will continue to proceed out of an abundance of caution. We are going to keep all of our Senior Centers CLOSED to the public until the CDC and Health Department Numbers are back to safer levels.
We are still providing all of our services, just differently. I will be reviewing the CDC and Health Department numbers and levels each week to determine a new reopening timeline and keep you updated when we are closer to a more reasonable date. Please see find attached our menu for September as meals can be picked up curbside.
Charlevoix, Emmet, Antrim and Otsego Counties are all RED-High Risk Transmission Counties for COVID19. All of these counties are also at Level E on the MI Safe Start Reopening plan. Charlevoix has a positivity rate of 12%, Emmet has a 10%, Antrim has a 9% and Otsego has a 9%. As a reminder, when we could safely open up on 7/1/21 Charlevoix County was in the BLUE-Low Risk Transition, Level B and had a less than 3% Positivity rate.
Emmet County has closed their Senior Center also due to the current COVID19 numbers and are providing there services differently too.
Please be patient, kind and support our staff so that we can continue to support you with our services by staying healthy.
Please call your Site Coordinator for the most current information.
- Boyne – Call Loretta for more info at 231-582-6682
- Charlevoix - Call Vikki for more info at 231-547-3844
- East Jordan - Call Brenda for more info at 231-536-7831
Meals and Activities are all subject to change due to the current COVID19 Pandemic numbers, statistics and protective measures for our aging adults and staff.
Please do not come to the Senior Center if you are sick. The impact of a sick individual in our centers could shut down services if our staff gets sick and are unable to provide those services. You can still be sick and spread the COVID19 virus if you are vaccinated.
Please print our Calendars, “Like” our Facebook Page “Charlevoix County Commission on Aging”, follow us on Instagram “Charlevoixcountycoa” and look all the other goings on either on the Senior Hi-Lites Newsletter page or the Menus / Calendars and Activities pages of our website at www.charlevoixcounty/Commission_on_Aging .

NORTH CENTRAL MICHIGAN COLLEGE - North Central Michigan College’s popular Luncheon Lecture series will resume in an in-person format on September 24, 2021. A variety of topics will be featured, including experimental aircraft, local law enforcement’s changing role, rural broadband, weather phenomena, a next-generation telescope, and changes in American politics.

The attendance fee is $15 and includes a lunch buffet served at 11:30 a.m. Pre-registration is required at https://www.ncmclifelonglearning.com/events.
-
September 24 – Build Your Own Airplane?: Lou Seno Jr. built and flew three experimental airplanes with his father many decades ago. Today, he is on the board of directors of the Experimental Aircraft Association, an international organization of aviation enthusiasts based in Oshkosh, Wisc., which recently brought together more than 600,000 people from 66 countries to share their love of aviation. Lou will help us all get motivated to pound a few rivets, stretch some fabric over handmade wings, and slip the surly bonds of Earth.
-
October 8 – The Changing Roles of Local Law Enforcement: The sheriff’s department still patrols the roads and runs the jail, but much has changed in recent years. Emmet County Sheriff Pete Wallin will give an overview of the many new duties we expect our sworn officers to carry out in an era of heightened exposure and stress.
-
October 22 – Rural Broadband: A century ago, rural electric cooperatives were created to bring electricity to areas that large electric power companies considered too uneconomical to serve. Today, history is repeating itself, except with broadband. Julie Bailey of Great Lakes Energy will explain how her company’s subsidiary, Truestream, is bringing the internet to rural areas across northwest Michigan and how it is changing rural life.
-

In his spare time, Dr. Shumaker specializes in urology at McLaren Northern Michigan Hospital.
-
December 10 – Changes in American Politics: Why do some big changes in our society succeed—acceptance of same-sex marriage and the civil rights movement, for example—while others, like Prohibition and the Equal Rights Amendment, fail? Is it timing, tactics, or leadership? Scott LaDeur, Ph.D., professor of political science at North Central Michigan College, will offer his analysis of the forces behind the shifting tides in American life.
