Barbara Curtis
Welcome to Pentwater
My husband, Dan, a Pentwater High School graduate, and I have been residents of Pentwater since 1975. We raised our two children, Marc and Sarah, in Pentwater. I believe that Pentwater offers the good life for people of all ages. Both of our children attended Pentwater schools from pre-school through high school. I was a charter member of the Pentwater pre-school which still operates today. Pentwater school has an outstanding staff, and our children have life-long friends from their school days. Pentwater provides a beach unequaled by many, with the addition of a wonderful and popular state park. Because Pentwater is a destination tourist village, many of our young adults can find summer employment. I love our newly renovated township library, and the friendship center offers a locale for senior activities and a site where I can volunteer to teach line dancing – a pastime I’ve enjoyed for more than 10 years. I am an avid walker and enjoy the experience of walking through the village and down the channel to Lake Michigan. We enjoy entertaining out of town family and friends in Pentwater. Our guests enjoy the shops and restaurants in the village. There is definitely something for everyone in Pentwater; for both resi-
dents and guests alike. I have been a member of the Pentwater Junior Women’s Club for 40 years. (People keep jokingly asking when I am going to graduate to the Senior Women’s Club!) The purpose of our club is to promote civic improvement and the intellectual and cultural development of our membership. Our club is best known for our Fine Arts and Crafts Fair which takes place every July. Our upcoming juried art fair, Saturday, July 8 on the Pentwater Village Green, will be the 53rd annual fair. The fair is a very popular with both the public and artists. The club also hosts a silent auction at the fair with pieces of art donated by the artists themselves. The art fair is the Pentwater Junior Women’s Club only fundraiser. We award scholarships to two female high school graduates with a portion of the proceeds. We sponsor a Feeding America food truck monthly. We have donated funds to Pentwater schools, the preschool, the VFW, the village green landscaping and to many other civic organizations. The Pentwater Junior Women’s Club always welcomes new members no matter if you are a young woman, newly retired or anywhere in between. – Barbara Curtis PENTWATER THIS WEEK 1
The enchanted world of Cyndy Callog
Pentwater watercolorist extraordinaire delights in the mystique of nature By Mary Beth Crain PTW Writer You might remember Cyndy Callog, and her husband, George Mikulyuk, from when they owned the shop Gatherings along Pentwater’s Hancock Street. But were you familiar with Cyndy’s other life, as one of the country’s most esteemed wildlife artists? Welcome to her world, an enchanted domain where nature and mystery interact in buoyant harmony. Callog specializes in watercolor—but not your typical watercolor. Her works are not of the “wet” variety most of us are used 2 PENTWATER THIS WEEK
to, where colors wash and blend. Instead, Callog’s watercolors are painstakingly detailed images of nature, in particular flowers and birds, that in some ways harken back to a time long gone, the Victorian era, when watercolor technique was so meticulously refined that it was difficult to distinguish from oil painting. Not that Callog ever intended to reproduce Victorian art. Oddly enough, although she did graduate art school, watercolor was never one of her subjects. In fact, she assiduously avoided it. “I majored in art and elementary education at Adrian College, and did everything except waJuly 4 - July 11
tercolor,” she wryly observes. “That was to my advantage, because they would have taught the usual watery wet watercolors and wouldn’t have allowed me to do the detail work I love.” That love stemmed from childhood. “I’ve always been into details,” Callog admits. “My mother always loved flowers and little things. I knew all the wildflowers in our woods when I was growing up.” Standing beneath the skylight in the studio of her Bass Lake area home, the tall, slender Callog shyly talks about her passion for nature as sunlight pours down on her blond hair, giving her an almost otherworldly glow. To this quiet, reflective woman, flowers, plants and all the creatures of the earth that go with them are as important as breathing. She could no more live without her garden than she could exist without air or water. “I love my garden,” she enthuses. “The life and beauty, colors and textures, the simple part of life renewing… all the things written so eloquently about gardening! And all the creatures, their little hearts and souls, with whom we share it all.” Her garden is actually several gardens—a water garden, wildflowers and perennials that, she says, attract the birds, butterflies and animals found in her paintings. Gorgeously landscaped, this veritable wonderland of color and natural beauty breathes serenity. Located just outside her studio door, the gardens are, in a way, her faithful companions, on whom she can always rely for peace, renewal and inspiration. If you go to her website—www. cyndycallog.com—you can see the gardens, and Callog’s description of their importance in
her life and work. “My paintings are a celebration of my faith, a celebration of the beautiful world we have, an expression of my love of nature and the beauty and peace I find there. I try to convey the joy of flowers and birds, their myriad of colors, textures and shapes. We take
so much for granted and treat our Earth so uncaringly. I paint because it is fun, and I love to, but also from a deeper sense of awe, reverence and gratitude. “We fail to understand that we are not distinct from nature. We are part of it. Nature is not ‘out there;’ it is in each of us.” It’s certainly in her. And it comes out in her exquisite paintings that exude the reverence and respect she feels for her subjects. In the floral tryptich “Symphony,” a delicate iris stands majestically against a pastel

Pentwater welcomes manager BY JEFF KIESSEL Shorline MEdia Witer

• Jeff Kiessel
PENTWATER — Chris Brown walked through the front doors at Pentwater Village Hall for his first official day on the job as village manager, Monday, June 26. “I love the environment of a small resort community,” he said. Brown said that because of his background in the private and governmental sectors that he set a goal a few years ago to pursue a career in municipal management. “I love the aspect of organization and policy of government versus reaction things in the private sector,” he said. He said he is eager to meet people and listen and learn. Brown, who comes to Pentwater from Mackinaw City, said he enjoys the diversity and energy of the people in a resort town. He said he wanted to pick a community that offered that, and Pentwater fit that bill for him. Although he has only been in town for a short time, Brown said he likes Pentwater and is happy to be there. Brown said Pentwater has many exciting things on the horizon in the development aspect and he hopes to be part of that process working with the council. Brown takes over for Rob Allard, who resigned April 30 but agreed to stay on as village manager until a replacement was hired. Brown’s contract was approved by the Pentwater Village Council at its June 12 meeting. Brown was one of approximately 20 applicants for the position. At the time of his hire, Brown was chief engineer and operations manager at Dockside Development in Mackinaw City, where he worked for the past 15 years. Brown served on the Cheboygan County Board of Commissioners and recently was chairman of that board. He previously served on the Cheboygan County Zoning Board of Appeals. Brown will be paid a $70,000 annual salary, according to his contract with Pentwater. Benefits include 120 hours per year in vacation, which must be used each year and will not accumulate. Brown also will earn eight hours sick time every 30 days, for up to 720 hours. Health care benefits will be the same as that under the union contract. Brown will receive a $400 per

ings of the village council take place the second Monday of every month at village hall in the community room at 6 p.m.

Several social media reports of bear sightings in the Pentwater and Silver Lake areas have been made in the last week. The Pentwater Police Department posted on its Facebook page Tuesday, June 27 that it had received a report of a young bear approximately 125-150 lbs. on Jackson Road moving north. The post indicates that this is most likely the same bear that was recently seen walking east of Pentwater. A small bear also was seen twice two weeks ago in the Flora-Dale condominium subdivision at Silver Lake. A witness described the bear as being approximately 4 feet in height. Another Facebook post June 26 reported that a small bear was in the vicinity of 34th Avenue and Hazel Road east of Silver Lake. The Pentwater Police Department wanted to take the opportunity to remind everyone not to make contact with the bear and not to feed the bear. It also asks that year around residents make sure to pass onto summer visitors these same cautions. If a bear is seen, the department wanted to remind people that the bear is probably more afraid of humans than humans may be of it. Local law enforcement will continue to monitor the situation and will work with Michigan Department of Natural Resources if the situa-

it.” His companion was forced to back out due to a family conflict, but that wasn’t going to stop Gallagher, who decided to undertake the journey himself. In preparation for the trip, he dropped 20 pounds from his already-slim 176-pound frame, putting in over 4,500 miles on the bike since New Year’s Day, to ease the strain 1,000 miles of bicycling would impose on his body. On June 16, he left his home in Ashland, Ohio and rode 102.9 miles to Toledo. The journey was underway. The journey Gallagher is an Ohio State graduate, so any compliments directed to the state of Michigan are going to be well-earned. With that in mind, he gushed about the availability of bike trails and paths in the state that created a pleasant riding experience. “I’m a Buckeye, but Michigan has their (stuff ) together,” Gallagher said. “Your state has a ton of bike routes. I’ve not frequented a lot of them, but I’ve researched and read. “One of them in particular (Wednesday), leaving Rogers City and to a state park. It was a winding road, in between (M-)23 and the (Lake) Huron coast, and it was absolutely beautiful. I was on M-25 and M-13 and 23, and the roads have a berm that’s like another lane. The roads, 95 percent of the way, are in great shape, so I’m just hammering along. The views over my right shoulder have been spectacular.” Gallagher isn’t a tech-averse mountain man, though. Throughout the trip, he stayed at hotels and brought charging cables for his devices. He used an app called Relive to document his rides; friends on Facebook could see, using satellite technology, a map-style view of his entire daily path, and he had his GoPro camera set to take a photo of his surroundings each minute, the best of which he shared with friends. Among his overnight stops, once in Michigan, were Shelby Township near Detroit, then Port Hope, Pinconning and Alpena, all on the east side of the state. He stayed consecutive nights in Mackinaw City, using Thursday as a chance to explore the Upper Peninsula. (Riders can contact the Mackinac Bridge Authority when they reach one side of the bridge and, for a fee, can be transported to the other side.) From the northernmost point in the Lower Peninsula, Bill rode south down the west side

of the state, stopping in Elk Rapids Friday night and in Ludington Saturday prior to his abbreviated final ride Sunday. His rides usually began
early in the morning, and he arrived at his destinations in the early afternoon. “I don’t think it’s psychological, but when you get into the triple digits on the device on your bike, you start to run out of gas,” Gallagher said. “I feel like I’m accomplishing something. It’s a bucket list-like thing.” What next? Now that he’s explored much of the state, what’s next for the adventuresome Gallagher? He doesn’t know. Maybe that’s part of the fun. Whatever it is, you can bet Gallagher will throw himself into it full bore. “My wife calls me a border collie,” Gallagher said.“Border collies are like the last domesticated wolf. When they’re focused on something, they can’t hear you.” Needless to say, Gallagher enthusiastically recommends cycling to anyone of any age looking to stay (or get) in shape — even if you have no plans to ride 1,000 miles in a week and a half. “It’s really a great lifetime sport,” Gallagher said.“I hope to be doing this until I’m way older. I would recommend it to people. Buy a bike from a bike store and see if it sticks.”

NEW Newly remodeled Pentwater Community Food Pantry receives People Fund grant The Pentwater Community Food Pantry, managed by First Baptist Church in Pentwater, has received a $2,000 grant from the Great Lakes Energy People Fund. The grant has been used to purchase three large freezers for use in the food pantry. These new freezers will be a great help to aid in the storage of perishable food items. The Pentwater Community Food Pantry serves over 120 families each month, providing them with dry grocery items as well as fresh and frozen foods. The pantry is now housed in a newly constructed building, attached to the First Baptist Church, 101 S. Rush St., in Pentwater and is open the second and fourth Wednesday of each month. Clients need to arrive by 9:30 a.m. to register. Members of Great Lakes Energy support the People Fund by voluntarily rounding up their bills to the next highest dollar. The rounded up amount is distributed to non-profit organizations and charitable activities that benefit people in communities served by the cooperative. Contact Great Lakes Energy at 888-GT-LAKES or visit www.gtlakes.com for more information.

Village OKs $209,843 for new equipment
PENTWATER — Three major equipment purchases received Pentwater Village Council approval at its June 12 meeting. At the village council finance committee’s recommendation, council approved purchasing a new snow plow truck and chassis from Kinstel Sterline/Western Star for $87,507. The truck is expected to take one year from time of order until delivery so the cost will be spread over two budget years. Bids ranged from $84,993.19 to $95,000. To outfit the truck, council approved $72,000 for snow plow accessories from A.R.M equipment. Bids ranged from $71,500 to $72,948. The final purchase approved by council was $50,336 to A.R.M. Equipment for a new leaf vacuum. A.R.M. agreed to discount the leaf vac by 20 percent if the village purchased both the snow plow accessories and leaf vac from it. Bids ranged from $50,336 to $55,900. Money for the purchases will come from the village capital improvement fund. The purchases were budgeted for this year. The existing equipment will be sold when the new equipment is put into service.

Pentwater Jr. Women’s Club to host 53rd Fine Arts and Craft Fair The Pentwater Jr. Women’s Club 53rd annual Pentwater Fine Arts Fair is set to take place on the Pentwater Village Green Saturday, July 8 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. This juried art fair will include all original art works and will feature paintings, pottery, photography, weaving, clothing, sculpture and other artistic media. Art fair attendees will also have the opportunity to bid on art pieces donated by many of the participating artists during a silent auction in the village green gazebo. Proceeds generated from the silent auction will be used to fund a community project. During the Fine Arts Fair, Best of Show is awarded for first, second and third place. The Pentwater Junior Women’s Club, formed in 1964, is a non profit organization dedicated to promoting civic improvement within the community. The Pentwater Fine Art & Craft Fair and silent auction are the club’s only fund rais-

ing events. Money raised from these events are distributed in and around the Pentwater area for community improvement, education, arts and other worthwhile causes. Over the years, the club has provided college scholarships to area students, donated money to help purchase playground equipment at the Charles Mears State Park, helped in the creation of a handicap accessible walkway through the beach to Lake Michigan at the state park, bought equipment for the fire and police departments and the library and have helped fund renovations to a number of projects around Pentwater, including the village green gazebo. The club also assists with the monthly food distribution truck the third Tuesday of each month at the Pentwater Fire Barn. The Pentwater Junior Women’s Club meets at 7 p.m. the second Monday in September, October, November, January, March, April and May. Admission to the art & craft fair is free. The Pentwater Service Club members will offer refreshments at the village green in the club’s Duncan Wagon.
What if one could view Pentwater’s 4th of July Fireworks from a hot air balloon over Hancock Street at dusk? How might this splendid view of the Pentwater Village Green, gazebo, yacht club and channel appear as the rockets burst overhead? Such a vista is captured in a nostalgic artistic work recently created by Petrus Martens of East Lansing, Mich. Martens produces original prints that are inspired by Michigan and Great Lakes scenes. His series of works represent several wellknown locations. Pentwater is one of them. While predominantly a painter, he has recently taken great interest in vintage travel print advertising, and this series reminds one of scenes in ads that appeared in newspapers, magazines and on postcards many years ago. Martens has been an exhibitor in recent years at the Pentwater Fine Arts Fair, sponsored by the Pentwater Junior Women’s Club. “I bought one of his pieces four years ago,” Amy LaBarge, Pentwater Chamber of Commerce volunteer said, “and thought he could create a really special Pentwater scene in our sesquicentennial year. So I contacted ‘Pete’ last summer and he was immediately enthusiastic.” Martens created the design over the winter, and then produced a limited edition of 200 numbered and signed prints. They were printed in Michigan, using fine quality, environmentally friendly-produced paper and archival, pigment based inks to create museum-quality print that will last for many years. Each print measures 13-by-19-inchs, fits into a standard frame and will be sold for $50. The Martens has generously offered to donate 20 percent of sales ($10 per print) to the Pentwater Chamber of Commerce’s fireworks fund. Prints can be purchased online from Martens at www.martensprintworks.com, or at the art fair July 8 if still available.

background of greens and yellows as a tiny butterfly floats by. In Autumn Boughs,” a cardinal sits on a tree branch suspended amid red and orange leaves, pine cones and other fall images. And in a particularly enchanting miniature, rendered on a small piece of rice paper, the ghostly gray image of a butterfly, which was already imprinted on the paper, seems to be fluttering through a delicate vine of fuchsias that Callog painted over it. “I don’t come close to putting all the detail and beauty of my garden in my paintings,” Callog maintains, “but I try. People do say they feel the peace and understand the depth of feeling.” She’s far too modest. Callog is so talented that she was selected as National Wildlife Artist of the Year at the National Wildlife Art Show, Kansas City, Kansas; has won numerous Best in Show and First Place in Watercolor awards at art shows around the country; and was one of five Michigan artists selected to illustrate the beautiful tabletop book, Birds of Michigan, published in connection with the Audubon Society. The breathtaking detail in her works is remarkable.“In Autumn Boughs,” you can see the veins in the leaves, the tiniest feathers on the bird. You can feel the papery wings of the butterfly in “Symphony,” and the velvety petals of the iris.

torian architecture on its ear—to the sunken living room with the marble floors; elaborate wood entertainment center George crafted at the Pentwater Artisan Center; numerous antiques discovered here and there over the years; and circular dividing wall made of coral from the Florida Keys. “We spent a lot of time in Florida, doing art shows,” says Callog. “As we’d sit at the shows, we’d design the house. It took us two years. It was a giant art project!” Florida also pops up in her studio, which reflects the quirky side of her artistic nature. When you enter this marine-inspired vision, your eye can’t take in everything at once. There’s the table with the platters of sea shells and starfish, the beaded curtain with tiny sea shells instead of beads, the white area rug with the imprint of the starfish, the tiny lamp on the computer table with a dolphin rearing up from its base…and the most magnificent item, a genuine carousel sea horse, with a horse’s front end and a mermaid’s tail, that’s over 100 years old. “We found it at an antique store,” Callog laughs. “I just had to have it, of course.” Today, Callog has cut down a lot on her show time, from 40 a year to just a handful. Fortunately, one of those shows is in Pentwater this Saturday, July 8 —the annual Pentwater Jr. Women’s Club Fine Arts Fair. “It’s a really great fair,” Callog smiles. “The junior women have worked very hard to present an artistic, high quality, wonderful variety of creativity event.” Callog will be selling original paintings, along with prints on canvas that also contain new images and details, giving them a collage effect. She’ll also be offering her new book, A Windy Day, her first venture into the literary arts, which tells the true story of a baby mouse she and George rescued, christened Nitro, and loved, from both the human and mouse point of view. The handsome hard cover edition was not only written by Callog—it’s full of her beautiful illustrations, and while it is, on the surface, a children’s book, it’s definitely for everyone. “I wanted to convey a message,” she emphasizes. “People just don’t understand animals— their souls, their beings. Once we had a chicken, and she became part of our family. She played with the dogs, ate their food, slept on a branch outside our bedroom window. Nitro was the

You can visit Callog at Booth 15. You can also find A Windy Day at Storybook Village.
