Charlevoix Area Humane Society announces HomeAgain Resale Store to open soon!
The Charlevoix Area Humane Society is opening a unique “Upscale” resale retail store titled “HomeAgain” in Charlevoix County, 118 Water Street in downtown Boyne City. This store will be distinctively characteristic in its clientele and donor market, as we are not interested in competing with the current and very worthy cause resale stores in the area.
The Charlevoix Area Humane Society’s resale store HomeAgain, will be unique in that the inventory will be higher end home accessories, art, collectable items, new and distinctive items not found in other resale stores.
HomeAgain, our Shelter Store will not be a “bargain store” concept, but rather a good deal on great quality items, for a great cause.
We have been considering and working on this concept for a good number of years now, and feel this is the right time~ We are asking you to keep the idea in your thoughts, as you consider tax deductible goods (and services) you can contribute to the cause.
Our objective is to create a consistent and reliable revenue generator to support the mission of the CAHS in saving lives and finding loving homes for animals in need.
We will soon be collecting inventory (like new only) such as decorative home accessories, new store close outs, vintage and designer clothing, art work, collectable Items, home accessories, furniture, some antiques, and more…
Our goal is to create an exciting retail store that is a destination location in discovering something new and unique every time you walk in the door, and also a meaningful place to “Rehome” your special donated goods for a great cause.
Thank you so very much for all your support
Further details to come.
With Gratitude,
Scott MacKenzie, Executive Director, Charlevoix Area Humane Society

Manna Resumes Food Rescue Program, Accepts Food Donations After Year-Long Hiatus
Manna Food Project has announced that it will resume its Food Rescue program as well as accept food donations from the public starting April 1, 2021. After a year-long suspension, this decision comes after diligently tracking community transmission of the virus.
The purpose of Manna’s Food Rescue program is to collect donated and surplus food each week from local grocery stores and businesses. These items range from soon-to-expire canned goods, discontinued and overstocked items, day-old breads and baked goods, prepared food from restaurants, and produce naturally being rotated off the shelves, all of which would otherwise go to waste. By diverting this food from the landfill, Manna not only fills hungry bellies but also reduces food waste in the community—about half a million pounds each year, accounting for approximately 25 percent of the food they distribute. To see the full press release click HERE.
For more information on Manna’s Food Rescue program or preferred food donations, visit HERE, or call their office at 231.347.8852.

Boyne City Main Street Façade Grant Applications Now Available
Up to $20,000 to be invested into rehabilitation and improvement of downtown facades
Applications for Boyne City Main Street’s 2021 façade grant program are now available. The façade grant program provides matching funds for Main Street District property owners and tenants to improve the facades of their buildings, in order to maintain the architectural character and economic viability of downtown.
“We look forward to continuing our work with building and business owners in the downtown with programs like the façade grants that result in long-term investment,” Kelsie King-Duff, Boyne City Main Street Executive Director, said.
To begin the process, interested property owners or tenants must review the Façade Grant Program Guidelines on the Main Street website HERE and meet with the representatives from Boyne City Main Street to discuss the scope of the project. An application must then be submitted by noon on April 29. After a competitive review process by the Design Committee and Boyne City Main Street Board a decision will be made to which projects receive funding. For every dollar awarded the applicant must spend an equal amount. Individual grant amounts will be up to 50 percent of a project’s cost. A total of $20,000 is available for the 2021-22 cycle.
Funds are provided by Boyne City Main Street with dollars raised through Boyne Thunder. There is no set minimum or maximum number of projects per year. Eligible items under the façade program include, but may not be limited to: removal of siding that was used to cover original building materials, exterior brick or wall surface repair, pointing of brick/mortar joint repair, window and/or door replacement/repair, any architectural details in need of repair and/or replacement. Ineligible expenses include paint, signage, awnings and work that has already been completed.
The grant program seeks to encourage private investment through the rehabilitation and improvement of facades within the Boyne City Main Street District, to encourage good design that will serve as quality examples, and to preserve the architectural character that is distinctive to Boyne City. By improving the appearance of the building facades, the program aims to improve the economic viability of the downtown.
For more information about Boyne City Main Street and the façade grant program or to schedule your meeting with Main Street representatives, visit www.boynecitymainstreet.com or email [email protected].

Donor investment propels vascular robotics program at McLaren Northern Michigan
McLaren Northern Michigan Heart and Vascular Team Makes History - First in Midwest to Perform Back-to-Back Robotic Procedures Treating STEMI Heart Attacks
Thanks to a generous gift from Robert W. Considine, McLaren Northern Michigan Interventional cardiologist, Harry Colfer, MD, made history in late December 2020, when he became the first physician in the Midwest to perform back-to-back robotic procedures treating STEMI heart attacks using the CorPath Vascular Robotic System.
The most deadly type of heart attack is the ST-elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI). A STEMI occurs when a coronary artery becomes completely blocked and a large portion of the muscle stops receiving blood.
“A STEMI is an active heart attack,” said Dr. Colfer. “It is critical to get the patient to the lab as quickly as you can. The robotic system allows us to efficiently find the blocked artery and reopen it. The longer it takes, the more heart muscle damage occurs.”
Crucial to the McLaren Northern Michigan Catheterization Lab (Cath Lab) team are Cardiovascular Invasive Specialists, Tim Goldsmith, RCIS, and Glen Withersbee, CNMT, BSNM, both of whom have become what the CorPath company calls “superusers” of the system. They load the equipment with necessary wires and balloons, working closely with Dr. Colfer throughout the procedure.
"The supporting superusers of the tool are there to guide and expedite the start of the procedure, which in turn creates better outcomes,” added Withersbee. “The robot has the ability to be more precise, increasing the ability to get into the vessel quicker.”
“We had the right team in place at the right time to be able to carry out these procedures in the best way possible,” Colfer said.
A 38-year veteran in the Cath Lab, Goldsmith said the CorPath Vascular Robotics System is one of the best tools implemented during his tenure. “It allows us to precisely manipulate wires and catheters, especially for placing our stents in lesions, providing more accurate placement.”
The benefits to the patient are evident, but there are added benefits for the Cath Lab staff. “Working in a Cath Lab we are exposed to radiation. This new tool allows us to reduce our x-ray exposure,” said Goldsmith.
“We are only in the early stages of robotic surgery.” said Dr. Colfer. “As we use these technologies, we are not only doing what’s best for our patients today, we are also helping to expand medical practice, which will lead to more innovation in the future.”
The future may be closer than expected for robotic surgery. The next steps would be utilizing telerobotics.
“With the rural geography of northern Michigan, telerobotics could be a complete game changer in delivering critical care to patients,” said Steve Backstaff, Clinical Representative for CorPath. “While the future is unknown, I can see a day when a physician here at McLaren is performing a procedure in Petoskey on a patient in the Upper Peninsula. This changes the meaning of care close to home.”
The CorPath Vascular Robotics System is only available in 65 hospitals throughout the nation. Thanks to Robert W. Considine’s commitment to the Heart and Vascular program at McLaren Northern Michigan, the hospital is leading the way in utilization of this new technology to save lives in our region.
“I am truly moved by Mr. Considine’s generosity,” said Todd Burch, McLaren Northern Michigan President and CEO. “His gifts literally helped save the lives of hundreds of cardiac patients. Our program is strong because of his commitment and support.”
“The possibilities for robotic surgery will continue to expand in the coming years and decades,” he continued. “Thanks to donors like Mr. Considine, who was passionate about supporting innovation and a care team with the expertise and willingness to embrace new technologies, the McLaren Northern Michigan heart and vascular program will be at the forefront of these advances.”

A Statewide Housing Plan for Michigan MSHDA is leading the development of Michigan’s first collaborative statewide housing plan.
What is a Statewide Housing Plan (SHP)? Housing is the cornerstone of thriving communities and every person deserves safe, affordable, and quality housing, yet according to the Michigan Statewide Housing Needs Assessment, about 50% of our state’s renters, and 25% of its homeowners pay too much for housing. A Statewide Housing Plan will help identify the causes of this and other housing issues and what must be done to address them equitably, inclusively, and in a way that best leverages all available resources.
Why does Michigan need a SHP? The lack of safe and affordable housing in Michigan is an economic development barrier, a strain on household finances, and in many cases, results in too many families struggling to afford basic necessities, or even maintain their health. It is vital to develop strategies that strengthen neighborhoods and communities grappling with barriers. Michigan struggled with a lack of affordable housing before COVID-19. The pandemic amplified the challenge and highlighted the need to increase safety, address issues of quality, and tackle racial disparities. When combined with the ongoing affordability issue, these core challenges further illustrated the need for a statewide housing plan. To be successful, the plan requires a collaborative, statewide, data-driven approach that identifies and provides steps on how to overcome our housing challenges. These are complex issues that cannot be resolved overnight or in a vacuum. With every stakeholder in the housing industry working together, we can identify and implement solutions that will result in meaningful changes at the individual, neighborhood, community, regional and state levels.
How is the SHP created? MSHDA is spearheading a statewide strategic planning process with the consulting group Public Policy Associates and the Michigan Statewide Housing Plan Partner Council comprised of housing experts and key partners. We will be conducting research, benchmarking with 16 national housing finance agencies, and reaching out to engage customers, partners, and the public to help develop Michigan’s first five-year statewide housing plan. Outreach and engagement efforts will be conducted in November 2020 and continue through June 2021 with the goal of having a statewide housing plan by the end of 2021.

March 24, 2021 Health Department of Northwest Michigan COVID-19 Update
Spike in COVID cases means ‘not time to let down our guard’
In the last seven days, an alarming 302 COVID-19 cases have been identified within the four-county jurisdiction of the Health Department of Northwest Michigan. Since the first reported case in March 2020, more than 5,300 total cases have been reported in Antrim, Charlevoix, Emmet and Otsego counties.
“We haven’t seen this large of a spike in cases since last fall so it’s alarming and sends a message that we need to be vigilant to slow the spread of this virus,” said Lisa Peacock, Health Officer. “As health professionals, we are making every effort to get people fully vaccinated but all of us have the responsibility to keep up our end of the bargain and take precautionary measures to stop this virus. Now is not the time for us to let down our guard.”
From March 1 – March 24, 702 COVID-19 cases have been reported in Antrim, Charlevoix, Emmet and Otsego counties.
Today we are reporting case investigation information for those cases.
0-12 years – 64 cases
13-19 years – 148 cases
20-29 years – 92 cases
30-39 years – 97 cases
40-49 years – 108 cases
50-59 years – 86 cases
60-69 years – 65 cases
70-79 years – 27 cases
80-89 years – 10 cases
90-99 years – 2 cases
Unknown at the time of this report: 3 cases
Symptomatic: 495 cases; Asymptomatic: 30 cases; Unknown/not reported: 177 cases
145 cases associated with known outbreaks related to the school population and employment settings where close contact occurs •
12 cases are currently or were hospitalized
Testing and case investigation have stepped up to quicky identify and contain cases. Yesterday, the health department was notified of two cases of the B.1.1.7 COVID-19 variant in Otsego County. Previously, one case was identified in Charlevoix County. Health department staff treat a variant case the same as any other identified case with case investigation and contract tracing, and the individuals are following isolation guidance. Research shows that the B.1.1.7 variant is more easily spread than other variants.
The good news is that based on the latest evidence, current tests and vaccines available for COVID-19 work effectively against this variant, Peacock noted.
“We know the three coronavirus vaccines - Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson and Johnson (Janssen) - are all safe and effective against COVID-19,” Peacock said. “In three months since we started vaccinating our residents, we have administered more than 27,000 doses in Antrim, Charlevoix, Emmet and Otsego counties. Approximately 36% of residents 16 and older have received their first (initial) dose and almost 68% of those 65 and older have received their first (initial) dose. X% of our population 16 and older have received their SECOND/COMPLETED vaccination. This is such great progress and is very encouraging,” she said.
Anyone who has any symptoms or with known exposure to COVID-19 should get tested and quarantine themselves. Residents should register for vaccination and schedule their appointment as soon as they are able as fully vaccinated individuals are unlikely to get the virus. In the rare occasion they are diagnosed with the virus, they typically experience less severe disease
Stay up to date on the latest information in the Health Department of Northwest Michigan jurisdiction by liking and following our Facebook page and visiting our COVID-19 Data Dashboard. To locate a testing facility, visit the Michigan COVID-19 Test Finder website. To track the risk levels of COVID-19 pandemic indicators, visit the MI Safe Start Map website.

EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF THE NATIVITY -
Live-Stream Lent -We invite you to join our on-line worship during Lent (and any time) through Facebook live-stream. You do not need a Facebook account: just open your internet browser (Google, Edge, Bing, Yahoo, or similar) and enter: https://www.facebook.com/EpiscopalBoyne
Or find us on Facebook, @EpiscopalBoyne.
Every Sunday morning, we are live at 10:00am, and you can see the video at any time later.
We often think of Lent as a time for giving up some luxury or treat or a bad habit, like giving up chocolate, or stopping biting one’s nails. Those are good things to do. And Lent can be deeper: it can be a time when we turn off the TV or radio or social media, so we can turn off the churning of ideas, thoughts, worries in our heads. Then in some silence, we can rest in the renewing and re-forming love of God for us.
