First section of new Avalanche trails opens; Fund-raiser Tuesday
 From the Petoskey News-Review: Less than a month after work began to construct nearly 10 miles of new mountain biking trails at Boyne City's Avalanche Preserve, the first 1.25 miles opened for use late last week.

Homecoming Queen Abby Gardner:
"I'm beyond grateful to have been raised in such a proud town"
 We thought our readers would enjoy these Facebook comments from Homecoming Queen Abby Gardner:
> "This past week has definitely been one amazing week. I'm blessed with such a great community, high school class, friend group, family, and of course an amazing role model of a teacher. Not only did we (class of 2017) win spirit week, but I also got accepted into the college I've been dying to go to (NMU), as well as win homecoming queen. It warms my heart to know that so many of the students in my school think so kindly of me. People out of high school will tell you to enjoy it while you can because it goes by quicker than you think and I always used to think it couldn't go by quick enough... Until I realized this will be my last spirit week, my last homecoming, and that after I graduate I probably won't see most of the smiling faces that I see in the hallways ever again. This week has made me thankful to my friends for always supporting me, my teachers for always believing in me, and for the little things like the smiles or "hellos" that I get in the hallways at school. I'm beyond grateful to have been raised in such a proud and prideful town. Thank you to everyone who has made, and continues to make my high school experience an unforgettable one!"

 City and Boyne Boat Yard partner to offer rides to top of Avalanche
The Boyne City Police Department is again partnering with Boyne Boat Yard to offer rides to the top of Avalanche Preserve for mobility impaired individuals next Saturday, Oct. 15. The scenery is spectacular this time of year and some people are not able to take advantage of the view because of their physical limitations. Boyne Boat Yard Manager Charlie Harrett had the idea when he asked about getting his disabled son to the top of Avalanche. The top of the hill is reachable by a narrow gravel trail, which is gated because vehicles are prohibited. The normally locked gate will be opened by the Police Department that day from 10 to 1. Police officers and Harrett will drive the vehicles to the top. Boyne Boat Yard is making 4-wheel-drive trucks available for the day. We may also be able to accommodate some personal vehicles that are set up to transport mobility impaired persons, but you are asked to call the police department ahead of the date at (231) 582-6611 to make sure it will work. Mobility impaired individuals interested in a ride to the top should be at the Avalanche Preserve parking lot between 10 a.m. and 12:45 p.m. The parking lot is at the south end of Wilson Street. Individuals must be able to ride in a vehicle seat. The city hopes to make this an annual event during the color season.
