Luncheon Lectures
February 17
11:30am
The Three Mile Island nuclear plant accident in 1979, the Y2K controversy in 1999 and, more recently, the coronavirus pandemic presented major challenges for leaders trying to talk to the public about something strange and complex. Charlie MacInnis used research-based strategies for all three as a utility company communications manager and, more recently, as a local elected official. He will review the methods that worked for the first two and the major changes that have been needed for the coronavirus pandemic. He will also explain why the advice of an ancient Chinese general is still vitally important today.

Pet of The Week - Yeti!
This BIG fella is Yeti. Yeti is a gentle giant, who is very calm and loyal once he gets to know you. Yeti needs a job doing what he was bred for, herding. This is not an apartment dog! Yeti can be a bit suspicious of new people, but again this is what he was bred for. Yeti had been adopted out about 4 months ago but recently was returned as he bit someone. This someone was someone that he had met before, but had come into the house at night, un-announced and wearing a hat. Again Yeti did what he was breed to do. Anyone who considers adopting him must be aware of his breeding and his history! Grooming will be a constant chore, luckily he is fond of being groomed. Please keep in mind that the shelter can be a very stressful environment. Studies show that a minimum of 3 days decompression drastically lowers stress hormones, and allows the dog to show more personality after they have settled in.

Char-Em ISD’s Jim Rummer named Michigan’s 2023 Career Tech Administrator of the Year
When Jim Rummer began his career as Director of Career and Technical Education for Char-Em ISD 15 years ago, there were a handful of vocational education programs spread around the ISD’s 11 public school districts. CTE was just taking off and becoming recognized as a valuable path for some high school students post-graduation.
Rummer has spent the past 15-plus years growing not only CTE programs throughout the ISD, but also the reputation of the skilled trades as high-paying, in-demand, crucial jobs for young adults after they graduate from high school. Today, Char-Em ISD and local school district partners offer 20 different courses running the gamut of skills and subjects, from aviation to woodworking and many innovative options in between.
In recognition of Rummer’s exceptional efforts with career and technical education in Michigan, he was selected as the Michigan Association for Career and Technical Education’s 2023 CTE Administrator of the Year. He was recognized during the Michigan Career Education Conference annual event on Jan. 31, 2023, in Grand Rapids. Along with Rummer’s recognition, Char-Em ISD career tech was also recognized with an Excellence in Practice Award for the newly launched Char-Em Street STEM program.
“Jim Rummer’s name has become synonymous with ‘career tech’ in Northern Michigan, and for good reason. He is committed to providing opportunities for kids to explore career interests and to find their passion, and he’s also committed to making innovative programs happen,” said Scott Koziol, Char-Em ISD Superintendent. “Jim has changed the conversation around the skilled trades in our area to one that showcases the positive possibilities such careers hold for our region’s young adults. This state-level award is much deserved, and his colleagues at Char-Em ISD congratulate Jim on this recognition.”
