Lucy Hayes was an advocate and frequent spokesperson for the freedom of slaves along with the rights of native Americans, immigrants and the poor. In one of her most famous speeches she exclaimed, “The lifting of the unfortunate of our own country ought to interest every man and woman.” Having earned a degree in liberal arts, she was the first First Lady to attend college. She was a lifelong

and fervent advocate of temperance but refused to join the organized movement. Although she disapproved of serving wine at parties at the White House, she was once convinced to

allow the serving of wine at a dinner honoring the visiting Russian Ambassador. She expressed the belief of equal intellectual capability between genders: “Instead of being considered the slave of man, she is considered his equal in all things, and his superior in some.” She

was responsible for the completion of the Washington Monument, the introduction of the Easter egg roll on the White House lawn, and a central figure in the dedication of the Museum of Natural History and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Known and remembered for her warmth, charity, humor and empathy she became an inspiration to women including many of the first ladies who followed.

knowledge and impersonations of historically significant women such as Katharine Wright (sister of Orville and Wilbur) Amelia Earhart, WW2 women aviators and, of course, Lucy Hayes. Several years ago Betty, in period dress, captivated her audience in Bay View with the realism of her living biography based on the writings and memoirs of Katharine Wright

with a convincing presentation in which she argued that the Wright brothers may never have achieved their greatness without the guidance of their younger sister. In addition to Darst’s recent performance in Bay View, she performs regularly in Key West, in various cities in Ohio where she represents the Ohio Humanities Council, and has presented as Lucy Hayes at White House teas and a historical Christmas presentation of

Did you know that some song birds travel 4,000 miles each spring to make their nests and raise their fami-lies right here in our woods? The baby birds must learn to fly before making the arduous journey back to South America, just weeks after hatching. Learn how to spot these intrepid sum-mer residents as well as our hearty full-time species. This walk is free of charge and sponsored by the Woods Committee as an introduction to the Bay View Woods and the unique habi-tat it provides to wildlife. The walk starts at 8 a.m. on Wednesday, June 25 at the Gateway Trail entrance on Knapp Avenue and follows trails and boardwalk through mixed forest and cedar swamp.

The walk is open to anyone who is curious about the variety of birds who make their summer home in the Bay View Woods. Learn how to identify habitat, potential nest sites, bird vocalizations, and behavior. No skills or prior experience necessary. If you’re most comfortable using a walking stick, by all means bring it. There will be a few resting places on benches along the trail. This walk will be led by Bay View cottager Tracy Datlen who is a member of the Woods Committee and the Petoskey Regional Audubon Society.

DETAILS: Free. Open to all ages. No dogs please.

TIME: 8:00 am to 9:30 am

DATE: Wednesday June 25, 2014

ROUTE: Start at Gateway Trail on Knapp Ave, End at Old Indian Trail at corner of Richards and Knapp Ave.

Bay View Woods Walk – Wednesday, June 25An introduction to the bird families of the Bay View Woods.

The Journey: A Sacred, Spiritual Meditation For All, in its third year and now a series staple, gently links music from the sacred repertoire with the life of Jesus of Nazareth in a medi-tation for all people. The Journey, like each in the series, begins with an audience hymn-sing. From there, this week’s concert will feature a range of music, from a stately Bach mass to a wistful Copland tune, to a rousing, upbeat spiritual. The concert is open to the public and begins at 8 p.m. in John M. Hall Auditorium Sunday, June 22.

This “vespers” concert opens fit-tingly with Monteverdi’s celebratory “Vespers I: Deus in Adjutorium,” as John prepares the way for Jesus. After Gabriel speaks to Mary through Kelly Hale’s gentle, soaring piece written for oboe, cello and organ, Jesus’s baptism is celebrated with Bach’s “Quoniam

Tu Solus Sanctus,” from his Mass in B minor. Further episodes in the life of Jesus are narrated with Arne Running’s warm and lyrical Aria for woodwinds; Aaron Copland’s wistful American folk song, “Long Time Ago and Evening Prayer,” from Englebert Humperdinck’s folk-music inspired opera, Hansel and Gretel; and many more pieces encompassing a wide range of instruments and voices. This event takes the audience on a musical journey through many iterations of sacred music, creating a truly mean-ingful experience.

On Sunday, June 29th, the Bay View Music Festival will present Life is a Cabaret, a rousing collection of the humorous, honest and inti-mate ranging from Kander and Ebb’s Broadway show of the same name to the conventional French cabaret. Details in next week’s Town Crier.

The Journey: A Sacred, Spiritual Meditation For All, On Stage June 22nd

Bass Brian Banion will perform music of Johann Sebastian Bach at this Sunday's vesper concert, an historical nod to the sacred roots with a contemporary twist that includes evocative imagery of Jesus' life.

Bay View Listening is a project of listening, dialogue, and creative problem-solving around the issue of Bay View membership. Facilitating this process will be the Public Conversations Project, an internationally respected organi-zation with a long and impressive history of generating dialogue in the midst of controversy. The project, funded by a grant from the Bay View Board of Trustees, is described more fully in a letter sent by Board president Larry Ternan to the entire Bay View community.

Bay View Listening extends the following invitations:

• Facilitators: Bay Viewers who volunteer for the role of facilitator will train in Reflective Structured Dialogue with a team from the Public Conversations Project. These facilitators will lead cottage conversations that are structured around deep and respectful listening. Although the facilitator role requires deep neutrality while facilitating a cottage con-versation, it is important to know that becoming a facilitator does not mean giving up your voice in this important conversation. Facilitators will have multiple opportunities for their own thoughts and concerns to be heard.

• Hosts: Cottagers are invited to host these cottage conversations. The conversations need spaces of hospitality in which deep listening and sharing – across differences – can take place.

• Participants: All are invited to participate in cottage conversations. This is a space for all voices to be honored and heard. All voices are needed. Please come.

The schedule for the project is as follows:

• 8:00 p.m. Monday, July 7 Reception and Question & Answer time for Public Conversations trainers Dave Joseph and John Sarrouf. All Bay Viewers are invited, place to be announced.

• 8:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday, July 8 and 9 Facilitator training in structured listening practices will take place for the team of 15-18 facilitators. All interested are invited to volunteer.

• Friday, July 11 – Friday, July 25 A series of three-hour cottage conver-sations will be led by pairs of trained facilitators. These conversations will be highly structured in order to create a safe space for all to be heard. At the same time, they will be fluid in their openness to new ideas and creative exchange. The specifics of signing up will be publi-cized in early July.

• Saturday, August 2 At the Annual Meeting, Bay View Listening con-veners Maureen Pugsley and Nancy-Laurel Pettersen will present a preliminary report on the progress of the project.

• 8:30 – 5:30 Thursday, August 7 The Public Conversations Project team will lead a 1-day facilitators’ retreat. At this time, the richness of thought and understanding that has grown out of the cottage conver-sations will be developed into a full report, including suggestions for steps forward for the Bay View community.

To volunteer or to ask questions, please contact Maureen Pugsley and Nancy-Laurel Pettersen at BayViewListening@gmail.com.

We are happy to have our SOARS program return for a second sea-son. Our Summer Opera, Art Song and Recording Seminar (SOARS) is a two-week intensive session of study in which the students will present an Art Song Recital, make a demo recording for their own and learn a program of opera scenes, culminating in performances at the Traverse City Opera House and here at John Hall Auditorium.

On Friday evening, our stu-dents will present their Art Song Recital. Organized and prepared by faculty member, Dr. Casey Robards, and accompanied by our three piano fellows, our nine singers will present a variety of beautiful songs and poetry including mélodie by the French mas-ters Debussy and Fauré; a diverse col-lection of German Lied by Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, Strauss, Wolf, Marx and Schoenberg and selections by American composers Copland, Argento, Larsen and Harbison. The recital is this Friday, June 20 at 7 p.m. in Voorhies Hall. This is a free event, no tickets required, so come and get swept away in an evening of song and hear our young singers strut their stuff, art song-style.

FAQ on Member Tickets Q. Where do I need my Member Card? A. You need to show this at the time of purchase for all concerts EXCEPT Wednesday nights and that is all. Wednesday nights you need to show it at the door, but no tickets are needed.Q. Are 2014 vesper tickets interchangeable between shows? A. You bet. You can use them for any vesper concert this summer only.Q. Are there packages for vesper tickets? A. Sure. You can buy either all 9 or just 5. It’s a great savings.

The Bay View Music Festival will present Budapest and Beethoven, a con-cert featuring music from Hungarian composer Endre Szervanszky and the Belgian master. The concert is the second offering in the festival’s Chamber Music Series, performed by faculty artists, and takes place at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, June 25th in Hall Auditorium.

The concert will begin with Szervanszky’s Quintet No.1, an animat-ed suite for woodwinds that conjures

1950’s Budapest with a gorgeous range of emotional texture. Szervansky’s music assimilates the work of Bartok and Nadaly, including elements of the authentic Hungarian folk music they rediscovered. Szervansky’s work as both a composer and a teacher inspired a whole generation of composers who were to become Hungary’s new avant-garde.

Following the Quintet is Beethoven’s String Quartet No. 12 in E Flat Major, Op. 127, a darker piece that both

contrasts and parallels Szervanszky’s Quintet. Completed in 1825, this quartet marks the beginning of the composer’s late period, during which Beethoven’s pieces were characterized by intensity of personal expression and a new understanding of thematic variation. Marked by the tensions between classical structure and origi-nality, boldness and angelic calm, this suite is a playful exploration of emer-gence and renewal.

Over the last several years the Operations Committee has investigat-ed a number of concerns about vehicle traffic through Bay View and its impact on the safety of pedestrians and bicy-clists. We have received a number of petitions including ones to reopen Terrace at Division because of safety issues caused on Hemlock, Maple and through the flats, one to leave Terrace closed at Division and a number of requests for speed bumps. We have measured both traffic counts and speed

in many areas in Bay View for several seasons. We have contacted Mapquest and Google Maps arranging for them to correct a number of mistakes that could encourage traffic to cut through Bay View.

A number of recommendations have been approved by the Board of Directors resulting in a reduction in the speed limit within Bay View, the installation of a gate to allow emer-gency vehicles to enter Terrace from Division, the closure of Brockway

to inbound traffic from US 31, an improved understanding with our local policing agencies that Bay View roads are not designed to handle US 31 traffic diversions and changes to the Arlington Road entry. A number of additional recommendations await further Board of Trustee action.

The Operations Committee will summarize its ongoing traffic study and discuss its recommendations with the Bay View community on Saturday, June 21st at 9 a.m. in Voorhies Hall.
