Crystal Lake Beulah Beach Remediation and Storm Water Reduction Project
Crystal Lake attracts visitors from throughout the region because of its excellent inland fishing, boating, and swimming opportunities. The Village of Beulah owns and maintains a public swimming beach on the east shore of Crystal Lake, which draws tourists and locals to the Village and helps support local businesses. Beulah Beach has been monitored weekly from June to Labor Day. Since monitoring began in 2013, Buelah Beach has been subject to health advisories far too many times due to E. coli levels exceeding State full body contact recreation standards. The Village has received an EGLE (Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy) grant to construct Best Management Practices (BMPs) to reduce these events. The Crystal Lake Beulah Beach Remediation and Stormwater Reduction Project consists of constructing the following three different BMP types: Underground Retention Storm Chambers, Rain Gardens, and Inlet Infiltration devices within the Village Council meetings. BMP's have now been designed, and the project has been put out for bids. The Public Meeting scheduled at the Mills Community House (Upper Level) for February 6th, 2025, at 7 pm will provide an update on the status of the project and is open to everyone. |

Northern Michigan Ecstatic Dance
Sunday, February 9 10:00-12:00 Ecstatic dance is like a meditation for the body. We let go of our minds and drop into the body, to be with whatever is happening for us at the time. Movement can help us access, express, release, and celebrate what is, and what might be hard to notice otherwise. The majority of the time is for free-form movement Any form of dancing or movement is allowed as long as it is safe for everyone. All people of all sizes, types, and ages welcome. There is no photography or recording of any kind. This is a drug and alcohol free space. Mills Community House wants everyone to have access to dance, so this is a pay what you will event; it is free to you if you need it. Donations support the incredible Mills Community House and help Jeanie buy gas and lunch., and cover expenses of the dance. Jeanie Williams has been hosting ecstatic dance in Northern Michigan since 2016. |
