Central and Northern Michigan regional health departments urge residents to take precautionary measures as COVID-19 variant spreads
The Northern Michigan Public Health Alliance, which represents local health departments across central and northern Michigan, is urging residents to take cautionary measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19 across the region as some counties within the region move to an elevated level of transmission of the virus.
Over the past week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) moved several northern Michigan counties from “moderate” to “substantial” and “high” levels on the CDC’s Level of Community Transmission Tracker Map, and issues changes in their recommendations for protective measures.
The Alliance is providing residents with this information to be informed and take precautionary measures to protect themselves, their families, and their community from the spread of COVID-19, especially the highly contagious Delta variant. It is important that businesses and community members understand how to monitor these changing risk levels and take the necessary steps to protect themselves and those around them, Alliance officials said.
Cases, hospitalizations, and deaths are increasing across the United States and region, largely fueled by the Delta variant which is much more contagious than past versions of the virus. Because of this upward trend, the CDC recommends that all people, regardless of vaccination status, in areas of substantial or high transmission should:
Get vaccinated.
Get tested if experiencing COVID-19 symptoms.
Get tested 3-5 days following a known exposure to someone with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 and wear a mask in public indoor settings for 14 days after exposure or until a negative test result.
Isolate if they have tested positive for COVID-19 in the prior 10 days or are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms.
Follow any applicable federal, state, local, tribal, or territorial laws, rules, and regulations.
Wear a mask in public indoor settings if they are in an area of substantial or high transmission. Fully vaccinated people might choose to mask regardless of the level of transmission, if they have an increased health risk.
The CDC bases its recommendations on the latest data. New data = new guidance. When the CDC revised its guidance in May, the delta variant represented 1% of all cases. Today that number is more than 80%. The CDC continues to recommend that policies be based on local transmission rates.

Ridge Run’s agility dog park hosts launch celebration Sunday
Boyne City’s Ridge Run Dog Park will host a launch celebration for their new Agility Park from 12 noon to 2 p.m. Sunday, August 8. The celebration will include live demonstrations of dogs using the Agility Park equipment, including tunnels, jumps, and weave poles. Those attending will have the opportunity to sign up for agility classes.
Sunday’s celebration will also include raffles, hot dogs and dog park merchandise. To inquire about classes, email boyneagility@gmail.com. All ability levels are welcome for non-aggressive dogs, which must be on a leash.
The Ridge Run Dog Park is located at 234 Ridge Street in Boyne City. In addition to the Agility Park, Ridge Run features two fenced-in exercise sections - a 2.5-acre section for large dogs and a 3/4-acre area for small dogs. Dogs must be at least 12 months old, and handlers must be at least 10 years old. Classes are $60 for six-week sessions. Visit the dog park’s Facebook Page for updates on when classes are held - https://www.facebook.com/ridgerundogpark/
The park opened in 2014 on city-owned property. The city maintains the park and helps out by providing water and installing a walking path, but the fencing and other improvements, including the agility park equipment and turf, were privately funded by donations.

Moving Forward
Harbor House Publishers joins long-established, family-owned Waterways Journal Inc.
For more than five decades, Harbor House Publishers has looked for ways to better serve its customers and partners. On July 20, 2021, it took another step forward when it joined The Waterways Journal and its parent company Bound Media Group.
“We have had many opportunities over the years to become part of something larger, and we have now found the perfect fit,” says Michelle Cortright, second-generation publisher of Great Lakes/Seaway Review and founder of Harbor House Publishers, Inc. “The values and customer service of Bound Media Group allow us to expand the ways we help our customers and assist in community development.”
Harbor House Publishers retains its identity, staff and office in Boyne City, Michigan. The long-time team continues to connect with customers and turn visions into digital and print products.
“Michelle Cortright did an amazing job after purchasing the company from her father, Jacques LesStrang, in 1987,” said Nelson Spencer, Jr., president of Bound Media Group. “She grew the relevance of Harbor House Publishers’ maritime titles while building a first-class custom publishing business. Just as impressive, Michelle built a great team of professionals who we are excited to have join our team. We are humbled and honored to have Harbor House join our family of media products.”
As president and publisher emeritus, respectively, Spencer and Cortright welcome Leslie Tunney to the Harbor House Publishers team. With an extensive background in city and regional publishing, Tunney is part of the executive team at Bound Media and vice-president and publisher at Harbor House Publishers. She specializes in bringing together various aspects of publishing — advertising, branding, marketing, management and new product development for business-to-business and business-to-consumer products.
Tunney says: “I look forward to meeting each of our clients and partners as we continue to build on the respected legacy of Harbor House Publishers.”
About the Companies
Harbor House Publishers is based in Boyne City, Michigan and publishes custom magazines, directories, guides, books and newsletters with a specialty in regional publications with a focus on community development. Established in 1969, the company also publishes the quarterly magazine Great Lakes/Seaway Review, Greenwood’s Guide to Great Lakes Shipping and the international Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway System Directory.
The Waterways Journal, Inc., doing business as Bound Media Group, is based in St. Louis, Missouri and has been a maritime publications company since 1887. The Waterways Journal is a weekly magazine covering the inland river system’s 25,000 barges and more than 3,800 towboats, dredges and material handlers. The company’s portfolio also includes Inland River Record, Inland River Guide, Quimby’s Cruising Guide, International Dredging Review, Marina Dock Age, as well as two annual expos and other meetings.

BOYNE VALLEY TRAILWAY RIBBON CUTTING
A belated opening celebration of the Boyne Valley Trailway was held adjacent to the trail at Boyne Mountain. This paved non-motorized trail begins at the east end of Main Street, adjacent to the Boyne City Municipal Airport, and continues for 6.3 miles through Boyne Valley Township past Boyne Falls School and Boyne Mountain and into the Village of Boyne Falls. Numerous private and governmental entities came together to create and fund the nearly $2-million trail project. Boyne City Manager Mike Cain credited city resident Mike Sheean for his vision and leadership in spearheading the project. Here is a link to the trail website and a detailed map.

Long-Time CVB Director, Peter Fitzsimons, Stepping Down
The longest running Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) director in Michigan, Peter Fitzsimons, is announcing his retirement. Fitzsimons, 73, gave notice to the Petoskey Area Visitors Bureau Board of Directors in June that he would be stepping down from the position he has held for 36 years, effective at year’s end.
A former hotel General Manager, Fitzsimons was the catalyst, along with area innkeepers, in starting the visitors bureau back in 1985. The CVB’s responsibility was filling member hotel rooms through marketing, advertising and promoting the assets and attractions of Petoskey, Harbor Springs, Boyne City/Boyne Falls, and Bay View; the communities of Alanson and Bay Harbor have since been added. Under Fitzsimons’ leadership, the Bureau has grown to keep current with evolving marketing techniques and include employing a full-service marketing & PR agency and a three-person staff, supported by a $2.5 million annual marketing budget.
Bureau Chairman of the Board, Frank Shumway, said, “We appreciate all that Peter has done during his tenure. He has been a wealth of information to not only our Bureau, but is known as a leader in the CVB world statewide. All of us wish him the best.”
The Petoskey Area Visitors Bureau has hired an out-of-state firm to collect information from local stakeholders and perform a national search to fill the position. Fitzsimons has no plans to leave the area and will stay with the company until his replacement is hired.

Effective August 5, 2021, all of the Charlevoix County Senior Centers will be closed to the public through September 2, 2021 but we will be providing curbside pick-up and home delivered meals from all centers. We are just going back to the way we provided all of our services before July 1, 2021.
The only activities/services we are allowing in the Senior Centers will be Gym walking by reservation and Foot Clinics. Staff and seniors must wear a mask at those times.
If you are sick, please do not come to the senior center and get tested. You can still get COVID if you are vaccinated but the illness it presents is less severe. We encourage you to get vaccinated if you have not already.
Our BI Office will be open by appointment only and masks will be required.
Volunteer services will be suspended at this time until the numbers get to a safer level.
Charlevoix County is currently identified as a High Transmission risk at Risk Level D with a 10.25% positivity rate. At the beginning of the pandemic the state shut down at a 3% positivity rate. When we opened July 1, 2021 we were at a Low Transmission risk at a Risk Level B with a less than 3% positivity rate.
