BOYNE CITY — It’s a longprocess, but supporters of theDilworth Hotel planned re-birth say progress is beingmade.

Tom Johnson of LandmarkDevelopment, the firm that ismanaging the renewal of thehistoric hotel downtown, at-tended the city commissionmeeting on Tuesday, Sept. 27to participate in a discussionabout financing the more than$5 million project.

Commissioner Mike Cum-mings asked Johnson if theproject has investors and wastold that they have approxi-mately one-third of the funds.

“We won’t start construc-tion until we have all of themoney needed,” Johnson said.“Economically we have a greatbase, but we want to do acomplete renovation, not apartial one.”

Cummings has voiced con-cern about the funding in thepast, in part because the proj-ect is a private venture notpublic and yet public fundsare sought for it.

“I would be all for it, if itwasn’t using taxpayer money,”he said. “A lot of homeownerswant to get bailed out.”

An application for a$400,000 grant if approved bythe state would be used topurchase the building and a$200,000 grant would go to-wards the façade of the hotel.e developer would pay ap-proximately half of the$200,000 façade grant. In ad-dition, city manager MichaelCain said Landmark Develop-ment would apply for Brown-field funding.

“is opens up Brownfieldfinancing opportunities inmuch the same way weopened them up for the OneWater Street development,”Cain said.

Brownfield funding is a pro-gram that provides tax breaksor tax credits with sites thatthe Environmental ProtectionAgency has determined wouldbe abandoned because of un-desirable factors, such as con-tamination. Mayor and

tom Johnson of landmark develop-ment listens to comments and ques-tions from boyne City citycommissioners on sept. 27 about thedilworth hotel’s renovation.

A county commissionerwith a sharp eye and thestamina to plow through thecounty’s latest audit said hehas a suggestion that couldsave taxpayers some money.

Commissioner ChrisChristensen reported at theSept. 28 board of commis-sioners meeting that a bondthe county procured forGrandvue Medical Care facil-ity to renovate portions of thebuilding may be paid off fouryears earlier than the term ofthe bond.

“We’d be saving taxpayers

$350,000 we would have paidin interest for the four yearsle on the term of the bond,”Christensen said.

e commissioners willlook at retiring the bond inMay 2012, at which time theywill vote on reducing themillage rate for Grandvuefrom .5400 to .1750 to savethe interest payments, countyclerk and fiscal officer CheriePotter Browe said.

e 2012 General Fundbudget was adopted at themeeting. e $14,237,024budget includes a $0.25 perhour increase for employees.Some of the largest increases

in department funding areVeterans Affairs from $64,256in 2011 to $72,604 in 2012,

secondary roads from$75,997 to 90,083, soil ero-sion department from

$73,062 to $82,627 and thecounty clerk’s office from$455,375 to $507,992.

Some of the largest de-creases include Circuit Courtprobation funding downfrom $3,375 in 2011 to $1,800in 2012, snowmobile law en-forcement down from$20,957 to $10,507 and ma-rine enforcement down from$145,881 to $69,436.

e 2012 budget calls for alevy of 4.7000 mills for gen-eral fund millage. is is thesame levy as 2011, accordingto the Equalization [email protected]

e Great Start Collaborative hasawarded 10 tuition based preschoolscholarships to families in need acrossthe Charlevoix, Emmet, and NorthernAntrim Counties. ese families hadapplied for free preschools throughHead Start and Great Start ReadinessProgram, but due to capacity, were notaccepted. rough the help of grants,monetary donations, and in-kind do-nations from businesses, Great Start isable to send these children to tuitionbased preschools throughout the re-gion.

e families were notified of thescholarship awards in mid-September

and the young students will start at-tending their preschools in the begin-ning of October 2011. When one ofthe scholarship families came in to fillout their paperwork, she said herdaughter had been so disappointedwhen the family had told her theywould be unable to send her to pre-school due to financial hardship. Uponhearing the great news of the scholar-ship, her daughter exclaimed, “Great,now I can be like Sid the Science Kid!”

Educational and economic researchshows that investing in school pre-paredness for low-income childrenprevents needless public spending and

produces payoffs in K-12, governmentprograms, and the private sector. Con-versely, not investing in or cutting pro-grams that produce school readinessresults in increased spending and lostbenefits.

“is is not only great news for therecipients of the scholarship; this isgreat news for our entire community!It shows our community is invested insupporting families as they raise theiryoung children to succeed in schooland in life,” said Maureen Hollocker,Great Start Collaborative Director.

e Great Start Collaborative andCharlevoix-Emmet ISD would like to

acknowledge the following businessesand organizations for their generosityand understanding about the impor-tance of investing in early educationlocally:

Rotarians. Jim Slough is a pilot with forty year’sexperience. In 1971 when Slough was 16 yearsold he received flight instruction from JoeMcPhillips of McPhillips flying service, which isnow part of Island Airways. Slough graduatedfrom Western Michigan University with a Mas-ters Degree in Engineering and nearly everyflight certification available.

Ken will also be flying the twin engine aircrascarrying color peepers over this year’s annualblaze of glory. Ken followed in his father’s foot-steps beginning flight instruction at age 16 andacquiring certifications while attending col-lege. He graduated from Alma in 2005 with anhonors degree in mathematics and immediatelybegan working with Island Airways.

“Ken is now the Chief Pilot for the airline andholds all fixed wing flight ratings includingthe airline transport certificate with multi engineland and sea endorsements, flight instructor cer-tificates including all ground instructor authori-zations, all glider ratings, and most recently isauthorized by the FAA to perform Island Air-ways flight checks on behalf of the FAA.” ex-plained Slough. Slough’s years with the airline,eleven years with the Rotary and life long resi-dence in East Jordan make him the perfect hostfor the color tours.

e breathtaking view of this year’s dynamicfall colors will help the Rotary maintain theirmany pro community events. e organizationwhose pledge is; ‘Service Before Self,’ sponsorsmany effective programs for the community, in-cluding approximately $40,000 in college schol-arships awarded each year to graduating EastJordan High School seniors.

e Rotary also offers a multitude of programsintended to mold successful leaders out of thecommunity’s youth such as the STRIVE pro-gram, which provides adult mentors for highschool students who are at risk of not graduating.STRIVE stands for, ‘Students Taking RenewedInterest in the Value of Education’. Once a stu-dent is enrolled in the program a Rotary Club

member works with them for the purpose of mo-tivating them to improve their school perform-ance.

is mentoring takes place during the stu-dent’s senior year. Students recruited for the pro-gram are typically in the lower one-third of thesenior class based on grades. Students are en-couraged to improve their attendance, attitude,GPA, and school participation.

“e program has worked so well that our clubis going to start a similar program at the Middleschool level,” said Dan omas, East Jordan Ro-tary Public Relations Liaison. “A lot of these kidsare ready to make positive changes in their liveswhen they get involved with an adult that pro-vides a positive influence.”

omas adds, “e East Jordan Rotary alsosupports high school exchange students. eclub supports one inbound and one outboundstudent each year. Last year our Outbound wasLila Gee of East Jordan. Lila stayed with severaldifferent families in India and was deeply movedby the poverty that she saw, and the sharp con-trast between life here in small town Americaand life in one of the most densely populatedplaces in the world. Total immersion in a differ-ent culture is something that changes a person,and we see it in each and every one of the return-ing outbounds.”

e club also hosts a Life Leadership Confer-ence. Every spring three students that are recom-mended by East Jordan High School meet withother students at the Kettunen Center in Tustin,Michigan, south of Cadillac, to learn life leader-ship skills. e students’ meet in a conferencesetting to hear professional motivational speak-ers, and they participate in team activities withregard to life leadership skills. .

“e kids have a lot of fun, meet new friendsand take home a new sense of self as not just anindividual but part of something much biggerwhich is exactly what Rotary is all about.” saidomas.

ese are just a few of the projects and pro-grams the Color Tour fundraiser will benefit.

Tickets are $20 per person and include abreathtaking rare view of our areas frenzy ofcolor. In the event of rain the tours will bemoved to Saturday, October 15th.

For more than 50 years, thebeauty of northern Michigan,the love of adventure, and aspecial piece of property havewoven three families together.

During the 1960s, ski tripsto Boyne Mountain firstbrought the Herzog brothers -Gene and John - as well astheir friend and fellow ortho-pedic surgeon, Dr. LouMrstik, to Boyne City. "I im-mediately bought a home,"Mrstik says. "We were eagerto enjoy the 'up north' and wedid just that." e Herzogsalso bought a shared homeand a lifetime of trips tonorthern Michigan wasstarted. Soon aer their firstvisit, the three men begansearching for a piece of prop-erty they could share. emain requirement was that it

have a hill, and, in 1966, theydiscovered and purchased theold Grunow Farm. Locatedon the north end of town, theland includes a great varietyof features, most notablybeautiful panoramic views ofLake Charlevoix. "is waswhere the men could trulyrelax and take a break," saidRuth Herzog, John's wife. In1996, the families donated aconservation easement to Lit-tle Traverse Conservancyprotecting 106 acres of theproperty adjacent to the vine-yard and garden. is year,the land was donated to LittleTraverse Conservancy to be-come a permanent naturepreserve. "We're getting up inyears and it was time to givethe land away," said Lou.

In addition to the topogra-

phy of the land, e Hill Pre-serve includes a nice diversityof both pines and hardwoodswithin its boundaries. Appletrees have risen from theseeds of the old farm orchardand lilac bushes reveal the oldfarmstead. "e primary con-cern with this preserve rightnow is that there is very lim-ited parking," said DougFuller, director of steward-ship. "But it is currently opento the public and is an excel-lent destination for hiking."e Conservancy is workingwith the county to exploreother options for parkingalong Old Horton Bay Road.For a map and directions toe Hill Preserve, visitwww.landtrust.org and scrollto the story on the main page.

Matched Savings Program: What is it?

by tina sundelius

EAST JORDAN - Mayor Tim-mons gave the State of the City Ad-dress at this month’s Board ofCommissioners meeting Tuesdayevening. e board voted not topursue allegations that Commis-sioner Fisher violated the city char-ter and heard an update on watermain work being done in the city.

In a speech read to an audience of23 including some East Jordan HighSchool students, Mayor Timmonsannounced that, “e state of thecity of East Jordan is stable.” Andthat “the 2011-2012 fiscal year forEast Jordan is predicted to end witha very small balance.” e Mayorattributed careful planning andhandling of funds for the ability ofthe city to make needed repairs and

improvements commenting that “Itsaved money to do the water andsewer upgrades (on Maple St.) be-fore the state blacktopped M-32.”e Mayor then listed someachievements of the last year in-cluding the EMS building situatedalong M-32 where visitors and citi-zens view it while entering the city,the weir at the mouth of the JordanRiver being removed and a new firetruck equipped to fight grass fires aswell as a new plow truck are ontheir way.

e Mayor then spoke about theMichigan Main Street program sta-tus and explained that the area oftown affected by the program is notjust Main Street. He emphasizedthe benefits of the program to thecity and concluded his speech with

a disclaimer that a great effort hasbeen made to keep water and sewerrates as low as possible although thecost of the operation of treatmentfor these services continues to skyrocket.

Lee Symonds, a member of theaudience approached the podium toask the board what they intended todo about Commissioner Ray Fishertalking to city employees abouttheir jobs, stating that it was a viola-tion of the city charter. Upon re-quest city attorney, Scott Beattyadvised the board that at this pointthey didn’t need to determinewhether or not Fisher was guilty ofanything but that if he did what heis accused of would that warrant aviolation. e board discussed anddebated the allegations for nearly an

hour to make that determinationthen voted in favor of dismissingthe allegations. CommissionersBreaky and Peck voted not to dropthe matter. “Any employee has aright to ask a question,” said Tim-mons, “And any commissioner has aright to ask a question but not giveany orders.”

Kevin Makarewicz, a civil engi-

neer with C2AE, the company re-sponsible for repairs being made tothe water and sewer pipes reportedthat optimistically the completiondate for the project is the end of Oc-tober depending on the weather.“ings are progressing nicely, lastweek was slowed with all the rain, itwas a muddy mess out there.” heconcluded.

Time to break out

the lunchbox!

Dear Dave,I love your plan, but I think

my husband is attached to eat-ing out. Budgeting is veryhard for him, and the cost ofhis fast food lunches is mak-ing it difficult for us. He’s alsotaken a salary cut recently, andI’m working a part-time job tohelp us get by. Can you givehim some tough love from amale perspective?

ValerieDear Valerie,It sounds to me like you’ve

been way too nice. You’re act-ing like a mother dealing withlittle kid, and that’s not a goodway to relate to a husband.Plus, if you guys are havingmoney problems, the onlytime either of you should seethe inside of a restaurant is ifyou’re working there!

A man has several jobs inlife, and one of those is to takecare of his wife and children.You’re wife shouldn’t have towork so you can stuff yourface with fast food. When youmarried him, you didn’t wanta little boy. You wanted a man.He needs to grow up and startacting like one!

at being said, my per-spective probably won’t help.ere’s a saying that goes,“ose convinced againsttheir will are of the same opin-ion still.” He needs a seriouschange of heart. You said youlove my plan, right? en sitdown with this guy, and showhim the numbers. Show himwhere all the money is going,and tell him it’s just plainwrong for him to eat out allthe time while you have towork just to make ends meet.

People can do all kinds ofthings when they’re stressedout because of money prob-lems. I’m sure taking a cut insalary was a blow to his self-esteem. However, it’s time fora strong wake-up call whenthese behaviors start to have anegative impact on family andfinances!

—Dave

Let’s wait a while … Dear Dave,I’m a sophomore in college,

and I earn about $1,500 amonth at my job. My rent is$500 a month. I don’t reallyhave a credit history, but I’vesaved $20,000, and I’m think-ing about using it as a downpayment on a $140,000 home.Would this be a good idea?

GilDear Gil,I wouldn’t do it. I love the

fact that you’re working whileyou’re in school. Saving thatmuch money is fabulous, es-pecially for someone who’s noteven 20 years old!

I almost did the same kindof thing when I was in college.I was into real estate, and I re-ally wanted to test my wingsand buy something. Lookingback on it, though, I’m glad Ididn’t. It would have been ahuge mistake.

College can be a bumpyenough ride, even for the mostresponsible student. If you lostyour job you’d be in a realmess, and with your stated in-come you wouldn’t have a lotof breathing room. Plus, thetwo years following gradua-tion have the potential to bethe most permanently life-changing period you’ll everexperience. You could moveacross the country for a newjob, get married, or decide toattend graduate school. In anyof these situations, a housewould turn into an anchoraround your neck.

Being a renter is a greatthing while you’re still inschool. In the meantime, keeppiling up cash until you’reready to settle down!

- Dave

FOCUS ONTHE FAMILY

with Jim Daly & Juli SlatteryDr. Juli SlatteryJim Daly


Q: My husband of 20 years has recon-

nected with two ex-girlfriends on the Inter-

net. He started chatting with one of them

about three years ago. When I found out I

confronted him, he quickly closed it all

down, admitted his mistakes, and begged

me to forgive him. But now he’s done it

again with a second girlfriend. I don’t think

I can trust him anymore. I don’t want a di-

vorce — we have three teenagers and I’d

rather try to work things out. But I don’t see

any changes in his behavior.

Jim: It’s time to exercise some “toughlove” in your relationship. Let your husbandknow that you love him and that you wantthe marriage to work, but that his contin-ued dalliances are unacceptable. He’s beingselfish and juvenile, and setting a horribleexample for your children. You may need toconsider a legal separation until he gets hisact together.

As a first step, though, find a licensedmarriage and family counselor who canhelp you and your husband navigate therocky terrain in front of you. Counseling isa critical avenue for honest, open commu-nication and can help facilitate the healingprocess.

Your husband also needs to set personalboundaries and get some accountability inhis life. Many churches have men’s groups

in which the participants can share theirstruggles and ask tough questions of oneanother about how they spend their timeon the computer, etc. is is an essentialstep for your husband if he hopes to earnback your trust.

Q: My husband had a one-time affair

with a co-worker and struggles with

pornography. We’re currently separated,

though he is working very hard toward re-

covery. He wants to reconcile and so do

I. What is the best way to work toward

that?

Juli: I’m so glad that you’re both moti-vated to work toward healing and restora-tion. Unfortunately, many couples are notwilling to invest the effort to put their mar-riages back together aer such a breach oftrust. Your marriage can be restored andeven strengthened, but it will take time anda lot of work on both of your parts.

As Jim said in the previous answer, work-ing with a qualified marriage counselor willgo a long way in your efforts toward heal-ing. I recommend that you and your hus-band meet regularly with a counselor whocan help you map out and walk through aplan of what restoration looks like.

Given your husband’s struggles with sex-ual temptation, I’d also recommend that hemeet individually with a counselor who

specializes in such issues to help him withpersonal healing and accountability. Evenwith the best intentions, he may continue tobattle those temptations and will need peo-ple around him to help him honor his com-mitment to you. In addition to thecounseling, this may mean installing Inter-net accountability soware, asking yourhusband to resolve to never to have a mealalone with another woman — even in aprofessional setting — and establishingother parameters.

Finally, don’t rush the process. e desireto renew their relationship sometimescauses couples to skip steps. e traumathat your marriage has experienced canonly heal over time. You need the freedomto ask questions like, “How do I know thiswon’t happen again?” or “What led to theinfidelity in the first place?” Skipping stepsor reconciling too quickly will lead to unre-solved issues and hard feelings emerginglater on.
