GUEST COMMENTARY
We can do more to educate about sexual conduct, consent
By Allen Telgenhof
Cvx County Prosecutor
This piece originally appeared on
Telgenhof’s personal website on July 7
Recently, a case in a neighboring county where I was appointed
special prosecutor was in the news
and I was criticized by some who
received their information from
the internet and social media.
The young woman who was assaulted, and her family, stopped
in just yesterday to again thank
me and my office for all we did in
the case to support her.
But, I understand the criticism.
We have a culture that is too accepting of sexual assault and shows a
“boys will be boys” attitude.
That’s not what I believe happened in my case, nor does the victim, but I’m glad that people are
at least paying
attention.
In the threeand-a-half
years that I
have
been
p r o s e c u t o r,
we’ve talked
allen telgenhof to over 700
students in the
county about sexual assault and
consent.
Through a grant obtained by our
victim advocate Libby Mikulski,
we purchased the rights to the acclaimed film The Hunting Ground
and hosted a free community
screening.
Next year, we hope to have all
high schools in Charlevoix County show the high school version
of The Hunting Ground not just
so our students can be educated
about sexual assault, but so that
we can get them talking about
it—and how to stop it.
The Petoskey News-Review published an editorial that points out
that I did not seek the maximum
penalty for the young man in the
case described above.
As I told the PNR, that is fair for
people to question.
I know all the facts of the case
and, the victim, her family and
I am content with what happened—not happy—there is nothing we can do to take away what
happened to her.
Most of all, I’m happy that the
PNR is talking about the problem
of sexual assault. And, if I have
to take a few lumps to make that
happen, so be it.
Are a few strong words enough justice?

J. Gohs, Editor
[email protected]
Every time one of these types of
crimes happens, I’m told by some
law enforcement officials and citizens, a few fellow journalists and
even my own wife that to tell this
story—to tell the truth—will cause
the victim more grief.
Some say telling this story will make
it tough for the perpetrator to find a
job and live going forward.
So, we don’t say much about the
story. We hide the victim’s name.
We are urged by the perpetrator’s
family not to brand their son a criminal.
The courts offer lesser charges and
plea deals to avoid a trial.
Then, the person who caused all this
pain and sorrow, well, he gets away
... because he’s a good boy, with a
bright future, from a fine family; he
has so much potential, and he’s very
sorry.
It was all just a big misunderstanding, you see.
But, imagine your own 18-year-old
daughter has too much to drink at a
house party. Then, she falls asleep in
one of the bedrooms. She awakens
to a man with no pants on, kissing
and groping her, and worse.
She repeatedly says “Wait,” “No,”
and “Stop” but he continues.
The man doesn't end his assault until
the homeowner, sensing something
is wrong, breaks into the locked
room.
This is alleged to have happened
on Dec. 14, 2015, in Otsego Lake
Township.
The case was farmed out to Charlevoix County Prosecutor Allen
Telgenhof due to the potential for
conflict of interest since the alleged
perpetrator’s father is a retired Gaylord city policeman.
The accused? One 20-year-old
Bradley Douglas Kussrow, of Petoskey.
Kussrow had initially been charged
with two counts of third-degree
criminal sexual conduct and one
count of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct in the case.
“Kussrow admitted under oath that
he had found the victim—who he
admitted was highly intoxicated—
lying in a bedroom in the home, that
he closed and locked the door and
that he kissed her, groped her and
digitally penetrated her,” it states in
a June 9 press release from Telgenhof's office. “He told police that he
believed that since the victim was
not saying 'no' that she was 'okay'
with what he was doing.”
Kussrow was given a plea deal and
found guilty of attempted unlawful
imprisonment, which carries a sentence of six months in jail and three
months on probation.
The plea agreement was entered
into, Telgenhof said, because:
1. It spared the victim having to testify at prelim’ examination and trial.
2. It provides guaranteed conviction
and consequence for the defendant.
3. It had the support of the victim
and family.
4. It will not subject the defendant to
lifetime registration and a felony.
It’s that last part that so concerns me:
“[I]t will not subject the defendant
(that's Kussrow) to lifetime registration and a felony conviction that can
never come off his record.”
According to Telgenhof's release,
during her sentencing of Kussrow,
46th Circuit Judge Janet Allen said,
“You found a woman who had been
falling down drunk laying in a bed,
closed the door, locked it, took your
pants down, took her pants down
and started doing sexual things to
her; that’s not how it is supposed to
work. That was your fatal mistake.
How did you figure that was okay?
You can’t grope … women until
they say ‘no’ … that’s not how this
works.”
Telgenhof said there are no winners
in this case.
“This young woman is affected forever by what happened to her that
night at the hands of someone she
had known for years and trusted,”
Telgenhof stated.
If the woman has to carry that burden for the rest of her life, then why
doesn't that man?
Telgenhof continued, “Hopefully
this young man understands the pain
that he has caused after hearing from
her (victim's) father who read her
statement in court today.”
Should rape be a learning experience?
If so, what did he learn?
Maybe he learned that it's kind of a
big deal to sexually assault someone
... but, not that big of a deal.
“I tried to be fair and offer him
(Kussrow) something that wouldn't
ruin his life,” Telgenhof told the
Petoskey News-Review in a June 13
story by Jordan Spence.
Well, it’s good to see that at least
one of the people involved didn’t get
their life ruined.
Telgenhof also told the News-Review that part of his job is to think of
what is fair to the criminal.
“I had a problem with that he would
be labeled a ‘sex offender’ the rest of
his life,” he was quoted as saying in
the News-Review. “Hopefully she
(victim) continues to recover. We’re
hoping he gets past this and learns.”
It’ll be a lot easier for Bradley Douglas Kussrow to get past this now that
his record only shows a charge for
attempted unlawful imprisonment.
Heck, that doesn’t sound so bad.
Maybe he just locked a friend in a
room as a joke and they took it the
wrong way.
Yeah, that’s the ticket!
No one will ever be the wiser.
Telgenhof said he was “very happy”
with what the judge had to say, adding, “Those words are powerful.”
Did Bradley Douglas Kussrow get
off light because his father was a
cop? Did Bradley Douglas Kussrow
get off easy because the prosecutor doesn't take rape cases seriously
enough?
No.
This isn’t an Allen Telgenhof problem. This is an American rape culture problem. This is a side-effect of
a society that views women as trophies, playthings—as a lower class.
Bradley Douglas Kussrow won this
case because America has a soft spot
for sexual predators, as is evidenced
by a dismal record when it comes to
getting justice for victims.
Ultimately, Telgenhof's press release
is filled with strong words about how
women should be free to drink with
their friends without fear of rape.
He also has strong words about the
necessity of consent prior to sexual
activity.
“We will keep going to the schools
and talking about it, hosting events
like “The Hunting Ground” showing
(documentary about rape) we had in
Charlevoix,” Telgenhof stated.
Who knows, maybe I’m overreacting. Perhaps the punishment in these
types of cases fit the crimes better
than I think they do.
I’ll leave it to the victims to decide
whether strong words are enough.

Charlevoix County Prosecuting
Attorney Allen Telgenhof was appointed special prosecutor on the
matter by the Attorney General’s
Office due to a conflict of interest.
The charges arose from a Dec. 14,
2015 party in Otsego Lake Township attended by eight teenagers,
including the victim and defendant.
Kussrow admitted under oath that
he had found the victim (who he
admitted was highly intoxicated)
lying in a bedroom in the home,
that he closed and locked the door
and that he kissed her, groped her
no further action at this time.
Senate Bill 584: Let assisted living facilities sell drinks to residents
Introduced by Sen. Peter MacGregor
(R), to allow up to 20 “homes for the

license that lets them sell drinks to residents and “bona fide guests.” Referred
to committee, no further action at this
time.
Senate Bill 611: Repeal 2006 “stand
your ground” law
Introduced by Sen. Rebekah Warren
(D), to repeal the 2006 law signed into
law by Gov. Jennifer Granholm establishing a “home is my castle” and “stand
your ground” self defense doctrine, under which an individual need not first
flee from a threatening attacker before
resorting to deadly force. Referred to
and digitally penetrated her.
He told police that he believed
that since the victim was not saying “no” that she was “okay” with
what he was doing.
Telgenhof said that the plea
agreement was entered into because it spared the victim from
having to testify at preliminary
examination and trial, because it
provides a guaranteed conviction
and consequence for the defendant, because it had the support of
the victim and family and because
unlike a criminal sexual conduct
conviction, it will not subject the
defendant to lifetime registration
and a felony conviction that can
never come off his record.

The DDA was able to work with
Aspen Wireless to establish an
infrastructure of Wi-Fi antennas
between City Hall, the Police Station, and Main Street Center. The
network currently covers 7 blocks
of Main and Spring Streets and
can be expanded as the service
grows.
The City of East Jordan will be installing a Merit Fiber line to City
Hall at the end of the summer allowing for higher speed access
and potential for growth. Merit is
a non-profit broadband provider
that works with other non-profits
such as educational institutions,
libraries, health care, and governments. With the installation of the
Merit line, service will be able to
be extended through the marina
and over to Tourist Park as well.
This infrastructure will allow
East Jordan to create a new digital public space and offer more
incentive to entice businesses and
people into town. According to
the MEDC “Thriving places help
define a community’s economic
vitality.” By focusing on such
community space projects we are
able to grow our town and prosper
into the future.
The DDA meets monthly on the
first Monday of each month at
5:30 p.m. in the East Jordan City
Hall at 201 Main St., East Jordan.
House Bill 5154: Require schools provide suicide warning sign training
Introduced by Rep. Peter Lucido (R),
to require that public schools provide
student instruction and staff training in
warning signs for suicide and depression. Referred to committee, no further
action at this time.
House Bill 5160: Require high schools
to provide CPR and defibrillation classes
Introduced by Rep. Thomas Hooker
(R), to mandate that public and private middle and high schools provide
instruction in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and awareness of automated
external defibrillation, and prohibit
a student from graduating unless he
or she has successfully completed this
instruction.

case,” Telgenhof said.
“This young woman is affected
forever by what happened to her
that night – at the hands of someone she had known for years and
trusted. Hopefully this young
man understands the pain that he
has caused after hearing from her
father who read her statement in
court today.”
The defense had requested that
Kussrow serve no jail time and
that he receive Holmes Youthful
Trainee status which would have
allowed the conviction to automatically come off his record a
few years down the road. At the
prosecution’s urging, Judge Allen
denied both requests.
In sentencing the Defendant,
Judge Allen stated, “You found
a woman who had been falling down drunk laying in a bed,
closed the door, locked it, took
your pants down, took her pants
down and started doing sexual
things to her, that’s not how it is
supposed to work. That was your
fatal mistake. How did you figure that was okay?…You can’t
grope…women until they say
no…that’s not how this works.”
“I was very happy with what the
judge had to say,” Telgenhof said.
“Those words are powerful. She
also said that we need to send a
message that this behavior has to
be deterred. Hopefully we continue to get that word out there.
The Stanford rape case has shone
a spotlight on this and we need
to keep talking about it,” Telgenhof continued. “A woman should
be free to have a drink with her
friends without the fear of being assaulted or being accused of
‘wanting it.’ Consent isn’t a difficult thing to see. We will keep
going to the schools and talking
about it, hosting events like The
Hunting Ground showing we had
in Charlevoix. Things need to
change; Judge Allen is exactly
right.”
Kussrow also received three years
of probation including counseling
and treatment as recommended
and is to refrain from the use of
alcohol and controlled substances

originally sought, without the risk
of appeal or collection,” Telgenhof
said. “I am confident we would have
prevailed on appeal but this gives us
certainty which is worth a good deal
of money. More importantly, I hope
that a $30,000 penalty is enough to
convince the defendants not to violate our agreement in the future.”
On Dec. 29, 2015, Judge Roy C.
Hayes III granted Telgenhof’s mo-
tion for summary disposition and
his motion to amend the complaint,
increasing the amount requested.
The judge ordered Hass and WLWS
to each pay $25,000 for a total of
$50,000.
The defendants filed post-judgment
motions in Circuit Court, the last of
which was denied on June 29, 2016.
The defendants filed a claim of appeal in the Michigan Court of Appeals, however, the agreement will
result in the dismissal of their appeal
in exchange for the reduced payment amount.

date of the election, an U.S. citizen; at least
18 years of age; a resident of Michigan for
at least 30 days; a resident of the school
district on or before the 30th day prior to
the date of the election and a registered
voter in the school district where he or she
is a candidate.
Candidates have the option of paying a

Calla says.
“The average age of these children
is 13 years old. That’s the average,
which means there are kids who
are even younger.” During the program, participants
will learn how the growing child
sex industry seduces children into
the sex trade ... the devastating results ... and how to encourage children to stay safe.
Admission to the 60-minute event
is free. Lifetree Café is located 401

M
r. Sinatra, one of

NOW HIRING
part-time bus drivers
Charlevoix County Transit is accepting applications for part-time bus
driver positions. Qualified applicants will minimally possess a Michigan Chauffer’s License and need to
obtain a Commercial Driver’s License
with passenger endorsement within
120 days of employment. All drivers
must meet all bus driver certifications and licensing requirements
and must comply with Federal DOT
drug/alcohol testing requirements
as well as meeting State/Local
physical exam requirements. Applicants willing to obtain appropriate
licensing will also be considered.
• Not saving for retirement
early enough
This was the top regret expressed by survey respondents. Saving and investing
early for retirement offers
you two key benefits.
First, the more time you give
growth-oriented investments,
the greater their growth potential.
And second, by saving and
investing for retirement early
in your career, you will likely
need to put away less money
each year than you would if
you waited until, say, your
40s or 50s.
So, if you aren’t already doing so, contribute as much as
you can afford to your IRA
and your 401(k) or similar
employer-sponsored plan.
And increase your contributions every time your salary
rises.
• Not saving enough for
emergency expenses
You can’t plan for all expenses. Your furnace might die,
your car may need a major

If you don’t overuse your

Get the facts
on prenatal
nutrients
(BPT) - Although having a baby is
one of the most significant events
a woman may experience, nearly
half of the babies delivered in the
U.S. each year are the result of
unplanned pregnancies.
That means many babies are born
to women who did not engage in
pre-pregnancy planning or discussions with their health care
providers.
Even among planned pregnancies, women may often not find
out they are pregnant until they
are about four to six weeks along.
"There are several important steps
that women can take before becoming pregnant to help reduce
the risks of pregnancy complications and birth defects," says
Mark de Fazio, M.D., FACOG, de
Fazio Obstetrics & Gynecology,
Brooklyn, New York.
However, many women don't realize they are pregnant until it
is too late to reduce these risks,
particularly among women with
increased risk factors including diabetes, malabsorption syndromes or a family history of birth
defects.
Women of child-bearing age
should speak to their health care
providers about pregnancy plans
and about what they should do
before becoming pregnant to address their specific risk factors.
Significant cell, organ growth and
development occur in the early
stages of a pregnancy, especially
in the baby's brain and spinal cord.
Achieving ideal vitamin and nutrient levels, ensuring adequate
intake of folic acid, is important
for reducing birth defects.
Consequently, women planning
to conceive or who may already
be in the prenatal period need
to understand the importance of
proper nutrition in pregnancy and
the role that vitamins and supplements can play in helping them
optimize their nutrient levels.
The need for various nutrients,
including folic acid, iron and calcium, increases throughout the
course of a woman's pregnancy
and may not be met through a
healthy diet alone.
In fact, a deficiency in folic acid,
the synthetic form of folate and
a form of B vitamin that can be
found in leafy vegetables and fortified cereals, has been tied to an
increased risk of spina bifida, a
neural tube defect (NTD), which
is a birth defect involving the spinal cord.
The neural tube is formed very
early; defects can occur within the
first six weeks of pregnancy.
Mteryti folic 5 is an effective twostep MultiVitamin / MultiMineral
supplement regimen specifically
formulated for use in women at
higher risk of having a baby with
an NTD.
Mteryti folic 5 contains 5 mg of
folic acid. If medically necessary,
Mteryti folic 5 should be used two
to three months prior to pregnancy and continued until 10 to 12
weeks of gestation.
After 10 to 12 weeks of gestation,
health care providers may recommend continuing supplement use
with Mteryti, which contains 1.1
mg of folic acid.
Both Mteryti folic 5 and Mteryti are uniquely formulated in
a morning and nighttime dosing
schedule that allows for better absorption of key nutrients.
Women without an increased risk for
having a baby
with an NTD
can
make
sure they
are achieving
sufficient
levels of
folic acid
and
other
important nutrients by taking
Mteryti. Mteryti can
be used 2-3 months prior
to conception, throughout pregnancy and during the postnatal
period.
Mteryti folic 5 and Mteryti are
recommended for use under the
supervision of a healthcare professional.
The Experts Say ...
So, what do the experts recommend to all mothers-to-be out
there?
The Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC)
reports that women
who take the
recommended
daily dose
of
folic
acid starting at least
one month
before conception and
during
the
first trimester
of pregnancy can
reduce their baby's
risk of neural tube defects
by 50 to 70 percent.
"Even with the most careful planning, a woman may not obtain
the vitamins and nutrients needed during a pregnancy simply
through diet. To best prepare for
a healthy pregnancy, it is advised
EYES ON MAIN

OFF second pair for half off!
SAME-DAY PURCHASES ONLY • SOME RESTRICTIONS APPLY
for women to start taking a prenatal multivitamin, containing the
recommended folic acid levels,

Busting Acid
Reflux Myths
(BPT) - Gastroesophageal reflux
is a condition that can cause heartburn symptoms.
Heartburn is described as a burning sensation felt in the center of
the chest, and occurs when acid
from the stomach is forced
back up into the
esophagus.
Symptoms of
heartburn can
last for several hours
and often
become
worse after
eating.
Frequent
heartburn
could be a
symptom of a more
serious condition, such
as acid reflux disease, so it's
important to know the facts versus
the myths.
Common Myths about Frequent
Acid Reflux:
MYTH 1: Acid reflux is always
temporary
Some people may have occasional
heartburn, however, frequent or
persistent heartburn may be associated with a more severe problem.
If you experience frequent heartburn occurring two or more days
per week, sour or bitter taste in the
mouth, difficulty swallowing, and
chest pain that's not related to the
heart, you should have a conversation with your doctor to find out if
you may be suffering from a more
serious condition, known as acid
reflux disease.
Commonly referred to as GERD,
or Gastroesophageal reflux disease, this disease occurs when the
valve between the stomach and the
esophagus does not close tightly
after food has passed through to
the stomach.
For people who suffer from heartburn, ignoring the symptoms can
lead to damage to the esophageal
lining, such as inflammation, ulcers, bleeding, scarring, and in
some cases, esophageal cancer,
so it is important to talk to your
healthcare provider.
There are ways to save on certain
brand name medications, such as
using the NEXIUM Savings Card,
which helps eligible patients save
on their co-pay for prescription NEXIUM. With
the NEXIUM Savings Card, available at www.
PurplePill.
com,
eligible commercially
insured
patients can
get a 30day supply
of prescription
NEXIUM for $15,
or a 90-day supply for
as low as $10 a month.
MYTH 2: Acid Reflux only affects people with unhealthy
lifestyle and diet habits
"Trigger" foods for heartburn
symptoms associated with acid
reflux include spicy, fried, or tomato-based items; and caffeinated,
carbonated, or alcoholic drinks. If
you are experiencing symptoms of
acid reflux despite following suggested dietary and lifestyle modifications you may have GERD, and
you should see your doctor right
away.
MYTH 3: Acid reflux only occurs
in adults
Children and the elderly may also
experience symptoms of acid
reflux. Common symptoms of
GERD specific to children include
regurgitation, vomiting, abdominal pain, anorexia and feeding refusal. Dysphagia, or difficulty in
swallowing, may be symptoms of
GERD among the elderly.
Parents and caregivers should
consult with their doctors to learn
about prescription treatment options that are available. For more
The
Friends
The
Freedom
The
Brook
information about a treatment option, visit www.TroubleSwallowingPills.com.
If you are experiencing frequent
acid reflux symptoms, talk to your
healthcare provider about what
treatment option is best for you.
If your doctor prescribes brand
name NEXIUM (esomeprazole
magnesium) and you would like
to receive the brand name, you can
request it at the pharmacy or ask
your doctor to write "brand medically necessary," "may not substitute," or "dispense as written" on
the prescription.
Call ahead to your pharmacy if
you want to confirm that they have
filled your prescription with brand
name NEXIUM.
Approved Uses for NEXIUM
(esomeprazole magnesium)
NEXIUM is prescribed to treat the
symptoms of acid reflux disease,
which typically include persistent heartburn on 2 or more days
per week, despite treatment and
change of diet.
For many people, NEXIUM is
also prescribed to heal damage
to the esophagus called erosive
esophagitis.
This damage may be caused over
time from stomach acid wearing
away the lining of the esophagus.
Only a doctor can diagnose this
condition.
With NEXIUM, most erosions
heal in 4 to 8 weeks. Your results
with NEXIUM may vary.
Important Safety Information
About NEXIUM (esomeprazole
magnesium)
Symptom relief does not rule out
the presence of other serious stomach conditions.
NEXIUM may increase your risk
of getting severe diarrhea. Call
your doctor right away if you have
watery stool, stomach pain and fever that does not go away.
Talk to your doctor about your risk
for:
Bone fractures if you take multiple
daily doses of NEXIUM for a long
period of timeLow vitamin B12 if
you have been on NEXIUM for
a long time (more than 3 years)
Low magnesium levels if you take
NEXIUM for a long period of
time tell your doctor about all of
the medicines you take, prescription and nonprescription drugs, in-
cluding clopidogrel, vitamins and
herbal supplements. NEXIUM
may affect how other medicines
work and other medicines may affect how NEXIUM works.
Side effects with NEXIUM include headache, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.

Guide.

Elvis tribute artist Jake Slater is pictured during a performance for
veterans in Boyne City back in 2012.
Elvis tribute concert July 13
Sixty years ago, a young man
from Memphis turned the music
world upside down with his guitar and melodious voice on “The
Ed Sullivan Show.”
Teenagers went wild, parents
were aghast as he swiveled his
hips across the stage.
A new era in music became firmly entrenched in American culture and Elvis Presley became
the “King of Rock and Roll.”
Elvis died at a very young age
but his music lives on through
generations.
At 7 p.m. on Wednesday 13,
the Performing Arts Committee
of the Charlevoix Circle of Arts
will present Jake Slater, Elvis
tribute artist, in concert at Castle
Farms of Charlevoix.
Slater has been an Elvis tribute
artist and performed in many
venues throughout Michigan,
Chicago, Memphis and Las Vegas over the past several years.
Slater first became interested in
Elvis as a young boy spending
time with his grandparents who
were Elvis fans.
His public appearances performing the music of his idol
began in high school and he has
been thrilling audiences with his
performances ever since.
Tickets are $20, and are available at the Charlevoix Circle
of Arts, Castle Farms, Elements Gallery, the Charlevoix
Chamber of Commerce and at
the event. Refreshments will be
available. Join us for a wonderful evening and be sure to bring
your dancing shoes!

something to offer for every craft

Arcadia Brewing Company is a
favorite in Southern West Michigan.
Since 1996, Arcadia Ales has
aimed to carve out its niche in
the craft beer community with
their world-class award winning
ales brewed with British and
American inspiration (their brewing methods even originated 250
years ago in England).
The riverfront brewpub in downtown Kalamazoo is a premier destination to enjoy brews, BBQ, and
a breathtaking view of the Kalamazoo River.

Farm-to-table event supports Charlevoix
Hospital surgery/lab renovation project
A
unique Farm-to-Table dinner has been organized in
support of Munson Healthcare Charlevoix Hospital Foundation. The event will be held Thursday, July 28 at the Jordan
Valley Barn in East
Jordan.
Proceeds from the
dinner will benefit
the hospital’s surgery suite and laboratory renovations,
which are currently
underway.
The project will add a
third operating room, new preand post-operative patient rooms,
and an overhaul of the entire surgery and laboratory units to better
accommodate the rapid growth in
outpatient procedures.
This important project will meet the
growing needs of the communities,
and is part of the hospital’s continual effort to provide high-quality,
compassionate care close to
home.
Caterer Mike Everts
of Blackbird Gardens and Real Food
Dream Kitchen is
creating a delectable, one-of-a-kind
four-course meal, all
from locally sourced
ingredients.
“We’ll have gazpacho, then a
family style main course of roasted
lamb and seared walleye with several sides, followed by a Europeanstyle salad course, wrapping up with
a delectable basque cake with spruce
tips, fresh strawberries, and white
balsamic sauce,” said event organizer and board member Charlotte
Diller.
“The night promises to be a wonderful experience infused with local
flavor while also giving back to an
important patient need in our area.”
Doors open at 5:30 p.m. with wine
and appetizers, followed by dinner
at 6:30 p.m. Brief presentations by
several hospital speakers will share
with guests the importance of the
evening and the project it benefits.
Tickets are $125 per person, a portion of which is tax deductible, and
can be purchased by contacting
the Foundation office at 547-8501.
Seating is limited. Reservations are
needed by Wednesday July 13.

The annual Boyne City July 4th
Soap Box Derby fun race featured 20 cars and drivers from
across Michigan and from Florida this year.
Luke Tirrell, age 7, from Marco
Island, Fla., driving in his first
soap box derby race, won not
only the sport division, but beat

turtle helmet, Luke responded,
“No, ninja warrior!”
