[Un]Natural Selection with Interlochen Public Radio's Dan Wanschura
September 6
6pm
Humans have shaped and manipulated the natural world like no other species on earth. Those alterations have helped the planet, hurt it and everything in between. But we’re slow to realize, often taking decades to figure out our impact. Today, environmental agencies across the country spend much of their time and money responding to problems past generations have created and trying to foresee future challenges. [Un]Natural Selection, is a special season of the Points North podcast from Interlochen Public Radio. It examines our role as part of the ecosystem and explores the ethical line between mending our natural world and meddling with it. Join IPR’s Patrick Shea and Dan Wanschura as they share insight into the series.

Pet Of The Week - Dre
Hi! I’m Dre. I am a 3 year old Retriever/Labrador/Pitbull mix. I was very timid when I first arrived here, it's very intimidating. I have grown accustomed to the noise and other dogs, and have started to act my goofy self. Not so great on the leash and need boundaries set, I get a little excited when the staff interacts with me. I am very trainable but probably a bit too active for an elderly couple or a family with young children. Come by and say hello, I am a great catch!

Great Lakes Energy Members Elect Three Board of Directors
Great Lakes Energy (GLE) members recently elected three board members to the cooperative’s board of directors. Election results were announced at the cooperative’s annual business meeting on Aug. 24, 2022.
Janet Andersen of Ludington was elected in district 6. Incumbent directors Howard Bowersox of Stanwood, and John LaForge of Delton were re-elected in districts 8 and 9.
Andersen received 410 votes, Bowersox received 215 votes, and LaForge received 199 votes. All three seats were uncontested.
GLE members in voting districts 6 (Lake and Mason counties), 8 (Clare, Mecosta, Newaygo, and Osceola counties), and 9 (Allegan, Barry, Kent, Montcalm, and Ottawa counties) received their mail-in ballot in the July/August issue of Michigan Country Lines magazine. Voters returned their ballots to a private CPA firm by Aug. 18 and results were announced Aug. 24 at the GLE annual meeting.
Unlike investor-owned utilities, GLE is a not-for-profit business owned by its consumer-members. Board members are elected by members, not staff, with each member’s vote carrying equal weight. The cooperative conducts an annual meeting to update members on the progress made during the past year and to announce the results of director elections.
GLE provides electricity to roughly 120,000 rural members in 26 counties along the western side of the lower peninsula. Visit gtlakes.com for more information.
Great Lakes Energy Board of Directors - Back row from left to right: John LaForge, Mark Carson, David Coveyou, Howard Bowersox, Dale Farrier. Front row from left to right – Paul Byl, Shelly Pinkelman, Janet Andersen, Ric Evans

Students Receive $389,150 in Scholarships through Charlevoix County Community Foundation
Graduating seniors from Charlevoix County high schools will receive a total of $389,150 in scholarship funds to help them launch into college and post-secondary education and training programs. This year, a total of 79 scholarships were awarded, including more multi-year scholarships, which provide financial assistance for students beyond their first year of school. Scholarship funds were established by local citizens and groups to honor family members, community leaders, educators, and others who value continuing education.
Collaborative scholarship awards continued to grow this year, providing more support to more students over their full 2 or 4 year college experience. Collaborative awards have made it possible to provide more significant support for students by pooling available dollars from individual funds. For the student, this means multi-year support, which is extremely helpful as they continue on past their first year of college. Collaborative scholarships this year were awarded to Joel Carter of Boyne City, Mallory Staley of East Jordan, and Alexandra Baron of Charlevoix.
Alexandra Baron plans to attend the University of Michigan in the fall to study dance. She expressed her sincere gratitude for her scholarship award, saying, “Receiving scholarship support has lifted a massive weight off of my family’s shoulders. I feel extremely thankful and honored to have been chosen to receive this scholarship.”
All scholarship recipients shared their excitement and gratitude, stating that this support will allow them to focus on their education and earning a degree instead of their financial burden. Some students said that feeling the community’s support and recognition through their scholarship award was particularly meaningful to them as they head out into the world on their own for the first time.
Each year the Community Foundation awards scholarships to outstanding local students with financial need who are entering the skilled trades, community colleges, and 4-year colleges and universities. These students have demonstrated their eagerness to succeed beyond high school and have shown promise in their work ethic and in their academic achievement.
For more information about how to support Charlevoix County youth through scholarships, or to find out how your scholarship fund can join efforts to create larger, multi-year awards in the future, please reach out to Sara Ward at sward@c3f.org or 231-536-2440.

State of Michigan budgets $14M for new Beaver Island Ferry
The 2023 State budget includes $14 Million dollars for the construction of a new ferry boat. This is exciting news for BIBCO, the Beaver Island Transportation Authority, the Island community, and Charlevoix and Beaver Island visitors. Water transportation is a key part of Michigan’s infrastructure and we are thankful the State of Michigan recognizes the importance of replacing aging ferries around the Great lakes.
The New Vessel would be owned by the Beaver Island Transportation Authority, whom also owns the Emerald Isle. BIBCO and BITA would work together on an operational agreement similar to the one in place now.
There is a lot of work to be done before the first piece of steel is cut. As more information is available, BIBCO will pass it on. It is very early in the process, but again we are very encouraged and excited about the opportunity to continue to work together with BITA to provide exceptional service to the Island for years to come.
