Kevin Spate named Boyne City police chief as Gaither retires
|
|
|
Kevin Spate is sworn in by City Clerk Cindy Grice.

With the pending retirement of Boyne City Police Chief Jeff Gaither, the Boyne City Commission held a special meeting Wednesday and appointed Assistant Chief Kevin Spate as Boyne City's new chief. The city received eight applications for the Chief of Police position, and three were selected for interviews. Cain said, "Chief Gaither's retirement is leaving very big shoes to fill. His leadership style promoted a true team environment and the most professional and well-rounded department Boyne City has ever had. Kevin Spate, over his 20-plus years with the Boyne City Police Department, has continually honed his police and leadership skills, especially over the last eight years and in his role as assistant chief.

BCBSM Foundation to present $50,000 "Mom Power" grant
The Health Department of Northwest Michigan will receive a $50,000 grant on Tuesday, Nov. 12 in Charlevoix, courtesy of the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Foundation. The funding will support "Mom Power," a program designed to address the mental health needs of mothers with young children by providing childcare and increasing access to group providers and community resources. The 10-week program aims to decrease symptoms of poor mental health in mothers, reduce parenting stress and increase positive interactions between mothers and children.
The grant funding is provided through the Blue Cross Foundation's community health matching program, which targets community-based, nonprofit organizations in Michigan that will use the funding to develop, test or validate new techniques and programs to address the needs of its community members and produce a tangible effect in their lives. It focuses on improving access to care in an innovative way that empowers members of the community to use their health care more wisely and follow the protocol set by providers.
The Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Foundation gives more than $2 million each year in grants to improve research quality, cost and access to health care. Though the work of this organization is diverse and reaches various communities throughout the state, the primary focus of the BCBSM Foundation is to enable other organizations, researchers and health care experts to improve the overall health of Michigan residents.
> The grant will be presented at 10: 30 a.m. Tuesday at the Health Department of Northwest Michigan, 220 West Garfield Ave., Charlevoix.
