MEDC approves grant for Lake Street project
Officials at the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) have approved a $500,000 community development block grant for the Catt Realty Redevelopment Project in Boyne City. A signing ceremony for the grant was held at Friday at Boyne City City Hall. The project, located at 202 and 210 S. Lake St., has long sat vacant but will soon house 7 Monks Tap Room and Northern Michigan Sports Medicine Center. Work has begun in earnest and both tenants plan to move in this summer.
"Without support from funding options like CDBG, Brownfield and Local Reimbursement programs, investments in redevelopment projects would not be possible." said Michael Cain, City Manager of Boyne City. "The need for public and private partnership is key to community development. Financial support from the state and local level is critical to make this investment financially feasible."
Lori Meeder, Main Street Director, added: "This is really a catalyst for future projects and redevelopment and will help spur economic development in and around the community. We are so fortunate to have someone like Glen Catt and the Catt Development Team, who has a real commitment to Boyne City."

Northern Michigan Sports Medicine to open in Boyne City
Northern Michigan Sports Medicine Center (NMSMC) will open its seventh facility in Boyne City this July. The business will occupy 4,573 square feet in the former bus garage building at 210 S. Lake St., which most recently served as the home of the Boyne Arts Collective. The development owned by Catt Development will also include 7 Monks Tap Room, slated to open in June.
"We are pleased to have NMSMC as a partner in our development," said developer Glen Catt. "I believe having a good mix of tenants is vital to the success of any development. NMSMC is a proven operator that will draw people to downtown Boyne City all year long and during the hours when traffic and parking aren't an issue. They have a history of being involved with the communities they are in, and will be a great addition to Boyne City."
Started in 1987 by Chuck Smith, Michigan Sports Medicine Center is an outpatient facility that provides physical and occupational therapy, aquatic therapy, and specializes in athletic injury rehabilitation. Services include sports medicine, physical and occupational therapy and athletic trainer services designed to meet individual needs. The business will employ 5 or 6 people in Boyne City and another 4 or 5 indirectly supporting this facility. "We are committed to providing the highest quality care with a strong focus on patient satisfaction," said Smith, the owner and founder. "People who reside in and visit Northern Michigan lead active and vigorous lifestyles. They enjoy activities. When injury or illness threatens their activity, we offer a proactive way to resume their lifestyles." Full press release.

"Goodbye City Hall" ceremony planned for Tuesday
Next Tuesday's Noon Boyne City Commission meeting marks the last scheduled public meeting in the existing City Hall at 319 N. Lake St. City staff are planning to hold a brief ceremony at the end of that meeting to mark this milestone. After the meeting, cake and coffee will be served. "We are inviting the public and anyone who has worked for the city during this timeframe to come and help us say a formal goodbye and thank you for this facility that has served the community so well all these years, first as the Rural Electric Association building and then finally as Boyne City's City Hall," said City Manager Mike Cain. "We especially wish to invite those who have actually worked in the building over the years, no matter who they worked for."
> The last day of operations in the old City Hall is scheduled for Friday, March 31. Starting Monday, April 4, the city administrative offices will operate across the street in space they are renting from Honeywell. They plan to move into the new city hall in early summer, 2017. Until the new city facilities are completed, the Police Department will move into the former public works building, and the Fire Department will remain in their old building.
Some City Hall history: Voters approved purchase in 1976
Boyne City City Hall has been in its current location at 319 N. Lake Street since 1978. Voters approved a bond issue to purchase the former Top O'Michigan Rural Electric building on June 26, 1976. The first City Commission meeting was held in the new building on July 11, 1978, which was actually a few months before the city purchased the building on Dec. 30, 1978. Forbes Tompkins was city manager when the issue was put on the ballot; the commission at that time included Mayor Aldwyn Barden, Thelma Behling, Austin Sevener and Keith Fitzpatrick. By the time the city moved into the building in 1978, Tim Clifton was the city manager and Fitzpatrick was mayor. Other commissioners at that time were Behling, Steve Moody, Catherine Jessup and Joe Gierlach. Before that 1978 move, City Hall was located in a building at 120 N. Lake St. In May of 1979, after the city moved out, they sold city hall and the adjacent city garage for $75,000 to Charlevoix Savings and Loan, a new entity being organized by local resident Arch Wright. That city hall building was then torn down and a new building now occupied by FirstMerit Bank was built and opened in 1980 as Lakewood Savings and Loan. Wright remembers that the prime interest rate at that time was 20%.

The winning teams: Brittney and Ryan Book of the Super Spelers,

Boyne Bee attracts a big crowd and raises $1,000
The First Annual Boyne Bee attracted a big crowd, 23 fun-loving spelling teams and raised more than $1,000 for Boyne City's proposed river sculpture. The bee was held Wednesday, at Friggy's SOBO Pub. With 46 spellers entered, the competition for local bragging rights was fierce with lots of elimination rounds before the victors could be crowned. The co-winning teams were Brittney and Ryan Book of The Super "Spelers" and Grace Otte and Liz Glass of Team SOBO.
 A plaque with the winners' names will be placed on the Pat O'Brien and Associates building for a year of viewing. Start studying now for The Second Annual Boyne Bee next year. This will become an annual event to support public art initiatives. Proceeds in future years will help sustain The Walkabout Sculpture Tour, an outdoor exhibit of sculptures of various media placed throughout the parks and in downtown Boyne City.
The Boyne Bee was emceed by Scott MacKenzie and organized by Lindsay Regan. It was a night of laughs and great fun and food - all for a good cause. "We raised over $1,000 for The Last River Draw sculpture, a life-sized bronze sculpture of a logger standing on a log pulling logs down the Boyne River," Regan said. "Everyone had a great time and people were so generous. Pat O'Brien, lucky winner of the 50/50 drawing, gave his winnings back to the cause. That's how fortunate we are as a community to have such amazing people."
The community has until April 9 to raise $25,000 in a local match to receive a grant of $25,000 made possible by MSHDA and MEDC's initiative known as "Public Spaces, Community Places." With 15 days left, the Boyne City Main Street Program needs another $7,000 to reach the goal.

Boyne Meets Bob fund-raiser is Saturday at Sommerset
|
| |
Bob Wollenberg
|
For the past 3 years, former Boyne City High School teacher Bob Wollenberg has been dying from a lung disease called IPF (idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis). Thanks to the phenomenal surgeons at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, Bob received a double lung transplant February 19th and is recovering very well. A lung transplant is the most complex transplant surgery a human can undergo at this time. Along with it, comes 30+ anti rejection pills a day for the rest of his life, years of rehabilitation and ongoing travel costs to and from Chicago. Bob and his wife Jackie will also be making major renovations to their home to accommodate proper air filtration and other safety concerns. Boyne Meets Bob is a fundraising event to help the Wollenberg family cope with these enormous and ongoing costs. It will be held at Sommerset Pointe Yacht Club from 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday, March 26. Admission is a $35 donation and Boyne CIty area restaurants and businesses are providing food. There will be a cash bar (with some fantastic signature drinks), a live and silent auction (again thanks to many individuals and businesses) and entertainment by Dominic Fortuna, Lee Malone and some of Bob's cast through the years.
