BOYNE HERITAGE CENTER OPEN HOUSE FRIDAY
The Boyne Heritage Center will host an open house this Friday evening with an exhibit titled "Unearthing Treasures: Life in a Lumber Camp." This pictorial history was documented by the Mitchell family from 1908 to 1912 in Antrim and Charlevoix counties and Elmira and Gaylord vicinities. Visitors can also see the meticulously restored 1905 town clock and the Boyne City Fire Department's 1917 American LaFrance fire engine.
Guests are captivated by the personal account of Boyne's lumbering era. "It sure gives you a whole new appreciation for what came before us," remarked one couple. The antique fire engine steals the show for kids. A delighted 6-year old visitor declared to her mother "This is the best museum EVER!" Siblings begged their grandmother to stay long enough to watch the intricate movements of the brass clock mechanism as the bronze bell tolled the hour in the tower above them.
The Boyne Heritage Center is a new nonprofit venture that has taken on the management of what was previously the Boyne City Historical Museum — now expanded to include historical content from Boyne City, Boyne Falls, Walloon Village, Advance, Horton Bay and neighboring townships.
The Boyne Heritage Center collection contains thousands of photographs, documents and artifacts. With these, history can be stitched together to bring to life the fascinating story of this area in the future interpretive exhibit space. The Center is now taking a thorough inventory and creating a museum-quality digital catalog, which will eventually be accessible on the website, www.boyneheritage.org. Historical photographs are painstakingly cleaned, conserved, scanned, researched and re-housed into archival safe storage materials. A small sampling of these treasures make up the .
You are invited to join history in the making and perhaps pick up something new (excluding bed bugs). The Boyne Heritage Center is located in City Hall, 319 N Lake Street, Boyne City. |

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, Sept. 5. 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. Dogs must be at least 12 months old and handlers must be at least 10 years old to take the classes. Class fees are $60 for six-week sessions. Visit the dog park’s Facebook Page for updates on when classes are held.
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 ¾-acre area for small dogs.
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.

NEW MORNING SHOW AND A NEW TRAVERSE CITY FREQUENCY FOR “CLASSIC ROCK THE BEAR”
In early July, Black Diamond Broadcasting was pleased to announce some key enhancements to its “Classic Rock THE BEAR” radio station, with an expanded and new morning show, as well as a third signal, 95.1-FM to enhance coverage in downtown Traverse City.
With more than 30 years of radio in his rear view mirror, including stops in Columbus, Cleveland and nearly two decades directing Detroit radio stations WRIF and WCSX, Mark Pennington, who joined Black Diamond Broadcasting nearly two years ago as a programming advisor, will team with “Classic Rock the Bear” veteran, Tim Logan to present the Mark & Tim Show, mornings from 6 to 10 AM. The show features much about northern Michigan, lots of laughs and even more classic rock. They’ve even brought Mike Grisdale back with “Bear News and Sports”, after a nearly two year hiatus from the station.
As for the addition of 95.1-FM, the Bear’s 98.1 – FM signal (located in Glen Arbor) and its 95.3 - FM signal (Indian River) are the victim of certain topographical issues resulting in sometimes spotty coverage in the downtown Traverse City area. With the addition of 95.1-FM, which is located on a ridge overlooking Traverse City, the already vast coverage of the station has been significantly enhanced. “Classic Rock the Bear – 98.1, 95.3 and 95.1”, reaches more northern Michigan listeners than any other classic rock station in the region.

Char-Em United Way Joins Forces with the United Way of Northwest Michigan to Strengthen Services in Charlevoix & Emmet Counties
To the loyal donors and friends of Char-Em United Way:
With your help, Char-Em United Way’s (CEUW) 2020-21 fundraising campaign was successful. Together, we supported many in our community through unprecedented and challenging times. However, those challenging times are not yet behind us. COVID continues to impact hardworking individuals and families, and there is still much to be done. COVID has also challenged businesses and non-profit organizations, and many are operating on lean budgets.
It is important now more than ever that each donor dollar be stretched to maximize its impact in our community. COVID has also proven that we can do more than anyone thought possible while socially distanced and with unoccupied buildings and office spaces. For this reason, the CEUW has decided to partner with the United Way of Northwest Michigan (UWNWMI) to support the health, educational, and financial stability of individuals and families in Charlevoix and Emmet counties.
This partnership means that the CEUW as a singular entity will no longer exist. That said, the mission of serving the ALICE population in our counties and the United Way ideals you have committed to will continue through the capable work of the UWNWMI, the many agencies we’ve funded over the years, and the work of the Petoskey-Harbor Springs Area and Charlevoix County community foundations. The CEUW will be funding the agencies who applied for grants this past spring and continuing the work of 211 that has been so critical in responding to the pandemic. For a time, we will also continue funding the Dolly Parton Imagination Library. Final assets of the CEUW will remain in our service area through endowed funds designated for supporting human service needs.
“When making this decision, the ultimate priority of the CEUW’s board of directors was that every dollar raised in Charlevoix and Emmet counties stay in our communities and support our mission to improve the health, education, and financial stability of every person,” said Melanie Leaver, president of the CEUW board of directors. “We are confident that our decision was the right one for our community and the United Way mission and thank you for your support of the CEUW. We encourage your continued support of the United Way mission in Charlevoix and Emmet counties through the UWNWMI.”
“The ongoing pandemic has shown us many things, mostly that we are all STRONGER UNITED. All of us at the UWNWMI are excited for what lies ahead for our region. We believe that the work of two organizations in our communities will be enhanced by one stronger organization moving forward. This transition will allow us to be improved stewards of donor dollars and reduce administrative costs in both of our regions,” said Seth Johnson, Executive Director of UWNWMI, “All while continuing to ensure that every dollar raised in Charlevoix and Emmet counties stays in those communities and is put to work to ensure that every child has a strong foundation for the future, that those in crisis have resources readily available, and that hardworking individuals and families have the opportunity to thrive.“
“We are grateful that the Char-Em United Way leadership has chosen our two community foundations to carry on its mission of service to our community,” said David (DJ) Jones, executive director of the Petoskey-Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation. Chip Hansen, President of the Charlevoix County Community Foundation agreed, adding, “We appreciate the trust they have placed in us by establishing endowed funds for health and human service needs in our two counties.”
Thank you for all you have done for our community and your support of the CEUW over the years. We encourage your continued support of the United Way mission to improve the quality of life for every person through the UWNWMI.
