Governor Whitmer’s Executive Order reopened Northern Michigan for on-site dining starting today, Friday, but it will be a new and different experience. For the safety of customers and staff, everyone is required to wear a mask (BYOM). Customers are allowed to remove their masks once seated but must abide by the recommended precautions of wearing masks to and from the tables and in common areas. Seating adjustments have been made to account for 6-ft. social distancing requirements.

Chamber continues“Safe Harbor” initiative - and face masks - as businesses reopen
|
|
As the business community prepares for reopening in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, the Harbor Springs Chamber is launching a “Safe Harbor” initiative, including the production of Safe Harbor face masks. This effort will:
> Assure our locals and summer residents that our businesses will open in a safe manner.
> Provide details on how and when various businesses will be reopening or expanding their services. If your business is reopening, please let us know -.
email the details by Tuesday to
jim@harborspringschamber.com, and we will include the information in our newsletter and on our social media pages.
As part of this initiative, the chamber is offering “Safe Harbor” face masks, created for us by
Carter's Imagewear and Awards. You can show your support for the effort by purchasing the Safe Harbor masks for $5 each, ($5.30 including sales tax). There is a minimum order of 4 masks, but there is no limit to how many you can buy. We encourage local retailers to order in bulk and sell them in your stores. This “pre-order price” will only be good for a short time, so don't delay. After the masks are delivered, the chamber will be selling them at a higher price. This offer is open to businesses, residents and visitors.
Allow 3 weeks for delivery. You will be able to pick up your masks at the Harbor Springs Chamber office on designated “curbside pick-up days” to be announced later. If you would like your masks to be mailed to you, there is a $10 fee.
Here's are more ways you can support the #SafeHarbor effort (in addition to ordering masks and telling us how you are reopening safely):
- Print and display this poster with reminders about how to stay safe.
- Tag your social media posts with #SafeHarbor to help us promote this effort and assure our community that we are adopting safe procedures in our businesses.
- Take this DDA survey to share your opinions on how to make our community as safe as possible while keeping our local economy intact.
- Ask your followers to share how they support #SafeHarbor and let’s spread the message!

Street Musique will return this summer!
|
|
Back on the streets of downtown Harbor Springs this summer -- Street Musique! Hosted by the Harbor Springs Chamber Foundation and the Blissfest Music Organization, Street Musique takes place Thursday nights, 6:30-8:30pm, from July 2-August 20. The Harbor Springs City Council on Monday expressed unanimous support for continuing the event with social distancing modifications.
Again this year, each Thursday night will have a theme with music and musician types that fit the themes. Not taking place this year will be children's activities because of the large crowds that gather, making social distancing difficult. Volunteers will stroll through the downtown to help keep social distancing in place around each music location.

Governor
reopens auto dealerships and retail businesses by appointment, authorizes nonessential medical, dental and veterinary procedures
Thursday, Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed executive order 2020-96 to reopen retail businesses and auto dealerships by appointment statewide on Tuesday, May 26, as part of her MI Safe Start plan. The governor’s executive order also lifts the requirement that health care providers delay some nonessential medical, dental, and veterinary procedures statewide beginning on Friday, May 29. And the order authorizes small gatherings of 10 people or less starting immediately, as long as participants practice social distancing.
“The data shows that Michigan is ready to phase in these sectors of our economy, but we must stay vigilant and ensure we’re doing everything we can to protect ourselves and our families from the spread of COVID-19,” said Governor Whitmer. “On behalf of our brave first responders on the front lines of this crisis, we must continue to all do our part by staying safer at home. We owe it to them to do what we can to stop the spread of this virus.”

Health Dept. answers questions on what's allowed under latest Executive Order allowing reopening
|
|
The Health Department of Northwest Michigan wants to remind residents and local businesses that the Governor signed Executive Order 2020-91 and Executive Order 2020-92 on Monday. Under these executive orders, restaurants, bars, retail businesses, and offices in our region are allowed to resume in-person work and offer onsite dining, with strict precautions in place, beginning Friday, May 22nd at 12:01 am. Resources aligning with the requirements of the executive order can be found on our
COVID-19 business resource page.
We have received questions and concerns regarding travel and housing as a result of the preliminary phases of re-opening in our region under Executive Order 2020-91 and Executive Order 2020-92.
The following is prohibited:
• Travel to vacation rentals
• Campground housing, unless primary residence
• Hotel and motel rentals/use, unless to house someone aiding in the COVID-19 response
The following is allowed:
• To return to a home or place of residence from outside this state.
• To leave this state for a home or residence elsewhere.
• Between two residences in this state, including moving to a new residence.
• As required by law enforcement or a court order, including the transportation of children pursuant to a custody agreement.
• For individuals in Regions 6 or 8, to go to a restaurant or a retail store or to attend a social gathering of up to 10 people.
We cannot stress enough that this preliminary phase of re-opening our state does not mean there is an absence of COVID-19 in our communities. However, this does mean that we have made substantial progress in our region specifically regarding testing, contact tracing, and a decrease in the number of new cases each day. While enjoying the warmer weather and the re-opening of some local businesses, everyone should continue taking all necessary precautions to protect themselves and reduce the spread of COVID-19.
UPDATED CASES - As of 4 pm Wednesday, May 20, the Health Department of Northwest Michigan is reporting:
- Positive COVID-19 cases in the following counties: Antrim – 11, Charlevoix – 14, Emmet – 21, Otsego – 99
- Recovered COVID-19 cases in the following counties: Antrim – 9, Charlevoix – 12, Emmet – 19, Otsego – 77
- Confirmed COVID-19 deaths in the following counties: Charlevoix – 1, Emmet – 2, Otsego – 10.
The State of Michigan has reported 53,009 cases and 5,060 deaths.

Many changes, precautions in place as Harbor Springs Farmers Market opens Saturday
|
|
Farmers Markets have been deemed an essential service. The Harbor Springs Farmers Market, opens this Saturday, May 23rd from 9am to 1pm. For the safety of our customers and vendors there will be many changes and precautions put in place this summer.
Overall, the market will be shifting from an event or social gathering spot to purely an essential food distribution site. We’ve worked really hard for many years building programs to enhance customers’ experience at market. These programs will not be gone forever; however, safety is our number one concern.
In order to promote safe social distancing, vendors will be spaced 10 feet apart, and we suggest sending only one to two family members. As much as we love them, we are also recommending dogs be left at home. Hand-washing stations will be installed each morning, and hand sanitizer will be provided at each booth.
We have also established a Market Pre-Order system that will assist in getting people in an out of market quickly and efficiently. Orders must be placed with each individual vendor two days prior to market and can be picked up at the blue tents on the west end of market, closest to the church. A list of vendors participating in the Pre-Sale can be found on our website,
www.harborspringsfarmersmarket.org .
Thank you in advance for complying with the safety precautions, we are excited for the start of market season.
This is not how I envisioned my first year as market master, it’s been a crazy time figuring out the logistics to keep everyone as safe as possible and still have a Harbor Springs Market experience. I am looking forward to seeing all of our customers, I’ll meet you at the market…..I’ll be the one in the mask.

Conservancy goes virtual with environmental ed
|
|
For more than 30 years, Little Traverse Conservancy has offered programs to thousands of children every year. The majority of the programs have been held at nature preserves and natural areas throughout the five-county service area.
“The current situation has caused our education staff to pivot and explore ways to still bring the joys of nature to all ages, while remaining helpful to educators and parents forced to do the work online or from their own homes,” said Sarah Mayhew, the Conservancy’s director of education.
The result has been a brand new web experience found at
www.landtrust.org/environmental-education. The program page is broken into three categories: 1) Online Learning Links; 2) Activities and Lessons; and 3) Virtual Programs.
Little Traverse Conservancy is a member-supported non-profit organization that does not receive government funding. To learn more, please contact a staff member or visit the website,

Manna extends mobile pantry as hundreds flock to Odawa Casino for food assistance
|
|
Manna Food Project’s drive-thru, mobile food pantry held weekly at Odawa Casino has served more families in need than anticipated - so the program has been extended into June.
Originally scheduled through May 22, the mobile will continue to distribute food on Fridays through June 5. Manna staff and volunteers will distribute pre-assembled food boxes with an assortment of shelf-stable items, along with a bag of fresh and frozen items, from noon to 3 p.m.
Exactly 100 families showed up to the first distribution on May 1. Word of the event spread over the radio, thanks to Big Country 102.9 and Lite 96.3. And on the second Friday, over 200 families received assistance.
After the third distribution on May 15 served nearly 200 families once again, Manna and KorthaseFlinn Insurance, who sponsored the program with Auto-Owners Insurance, had to decide whether to end the program after May 22 as scheduled, or to continue longer.
“Clearly, the need is there,” says Kim Baker, Executive Director of Manna. “For Randy Flinn, president of KorthaseFlinn, the answer was easy: ‘Let’s keep it going!’”
On Tuesday, May 19, Lite 96.3, 106 KHQ, and their sister stations held an on-air “Feeding Northern Michigan” campaign. A portion of the funds raised by the radiothon, along with more support from KorthaseFlinn, will help subsidize the mobile’s additional days of operation.
“Despite the chaos of the past few months, things have come together and needs are being met. Our caring community makes it all happen,” Baker says.

$230k in grants awarded to 30 organizations
|
|
Middle- and high-school students will receive the nourishing food they need. Our recycling center will improve its recycling efficiency by upgrading its container sorting line. Young children in a local town will have a safe, public place to play. Nursing home residents will benefit from needed room improvements.
These are just a few examples of people whose lives will be improved through recent grants from the Petoskey-Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation. In April, the Community Foundation awarded a total of $229,650 in grants to 30 organizations serving Emmet County. Programs will support people in need with food, housing, educational opportunities, financial support, addiction treatment, suicide prevention, and more.
In addition to the grant awards, the committees each allocated dollars from their respective grant pools specifically to the Community Foundation’s COVID-19 relief efforts. The distribution committee directed $100,000 to the Essential Needs Fund with the YAC allocating an additional $25,000. During the crisis, the Essential Needs Fund is providing relief funding for eligible nonprofits that have been impacted by increased demand for services or financial hardship due to decreased revenue. A short application is available on the Community Foundation’s website,
www.phsacf.org.
