SUMMARY:Superior Shipwrecks Exhibit Opens at Beaumier Center
DESCRIPTION:The Beaumier U.P. Heritage Center at Northern Michigan University will open a new exhibition titled “Gales of November: Shipwrecks on Lake Superior” at noon on Friday\, Sept. 19\, in its gallery in Gries Hall. \nFrom the earliest days of sailing vessels on Lake Superior\, November has taken its toll on the maritime trade. This exhibit will look at some of the more famous and fascinating shipwrecks that led to either the disappearance of a vessel or its eventual destruction.   \nIn November\, large arctic air masses in Alaska and Canada begin to make their way southeast across the lakes\, while low-pressure systems from the Gulf of Mexico travel northward toward the lakes. When these systems collide over the Great Lakes\, it creates a very unstable weather pattern that can essentially turn into an inland hurricane. One nickname for these storms is the “Witch of November\,” characterized by gale-force winds\, massive waves and quick-changing weather patterns.  \nNovember will mark the 50th anniversary of the sinking of the “Edmund Fitzgerald” and the story of that tragedy will be chronicled in the exhibit. Other shipwrecks that will be featured include the “Algoma” (1885)\, “Bannockburn” (1902)\, “Lucerne” (1886)\, “Myron” (1919) and many others. Each section will feature images of these ships\, copies of weather maps from the day they sank\, and newspaper headlines of some of the storms that wrecked their havoc on Lake Superior shipping. There will also be several artifacts on display from various Lake Superior shipwrecks on loan from Isle Royale National Park. \nVisitors can also view a selection of drawings on display by the noted maritime artist Ed Pusick that feature his dramatic interpretations of various shipwrecks\, including the “Edmund Fitzgerald.” These drawings are on loan from the Fred Stonehouse collection at the Marquette Maritime Museum. Pusick (1927-2006) was a Navy veteran and architectural illustrator\, best known as the “Master of Disaster” for his detailed illustrations of Great Lakes shipwrecks. After a military accident disabled him\, he pursued his passion for drawing\, creating influential shipwreck art that was featured on the History Channel\, in museums and in books by historians such as Fred Stonehouse.  \nThe exhibition will be on display in the Beaumier Center’s gallery through Dec. 20 and is free and open to the public. The Beaumier Center is open from noon to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday and from noon to 4 p.m. Saturdays.

SUMMARY:Caroling\, Caroling Now We Go! Celebration
DESCRIPTION:St. Paul’s Episcopal Church of Marquette will host Caroling\, Caroling Now We Go!\, a celebration of the musical legacy of Rev. Bates and Alfred Burt and Abbie Burt Betinis on Sunday\, November 30th at 3:00 pm at the church at 201 East Ridge Street in Marquette.   The concert celebrates the 150th anniversary of St. Paul’s sanctuary building this Christmas and over 100 years of Burt Carols which originated at St. Paul’s. \n\nIn 1922 Rev. Bates Burt\, the rector at St. Paul’s in Marquette\, composed a Christmas carol and sent it out as a Christmas card to family\, friends\, and parishioners.  Burt Carols became an annual tradition and Bates’ son Alfred joined his father in composing 20 years later.  Alfred Bates went on to compose 15 carols of his own including “Caroling\, Caroling\,” “Star Carol\, and “Some Children See Him\,” which have been recorded by artists all over the world.  Composer Abbie Burt Betinis is the great granddaughter of Bates and grand-niece of Alfred\, and since 2001 has continued the family caroling tradition. \n\n“Celebrating the carols\, along with the 150th anniversary of the sanctuary\, is an honor and a privilege. The carols are an enduring legacy\, hopefully\, one that will continue for years to come.”    – Jan Brodersen\, St. Paul’s Music Director \n\nThe concert performers will include Stephanie Beinlich\, Jim Edwards\, Adam Hall\, Jon LaFonde\, Kristen Ludwig\, Jimmy Ludwig\, Eric Marta\, Darrius Morton\, Janis Peterson\, Dani Simandl\, and the St. Paul’s Choir.  Classic Burt carols from all three generations of Burt composers will be performed and some entirely new arrangements will also be featured by vocalists and string ensembles. \n\nAs the Fred Bock Publishing Group has noted\,  “The most famous American Christmas carol family is indisputably the Burt family. The carols of Bates and Alfred Burt and the Christmas carol cards they sent are now part of our hymnody and folklore.  Composer Abbie Burt Betinis is the great granddaughter of Bates and grand-niece of Alfred\, and is continuing the tradition with freshness and craftsmanship.”  \n\nAdmission will be free and donations will be accepted.  All donations will benefit St. Paul’s Building Restoration fund as the church seeks to match the grant it received from the National Fund for Sacred Places.   The NFSP grant will help St. Paul’s address urgent structural needs\, ensuring its continued role as a gathering place for worship\, outreach\, and community activities into the next 150 years.

Bates G. Burt\, my great-grandfather and a self-taught musician\, began composing annual Christmas carols. He wrote both the text and music and sent them as Christmas greeting cards to his parishioners in Marquette — and later in Pontiac — Michigan. \n  \nIn 1942\, Bates passed the job of composing the music for the annual Christmas carol to his son\, Alfred S. Burt\, a jazz trumpeter who had just received his music degree from the University of Michigan. Alfred Burt’s 15 carols were originally made famous by the Voices of Jimmy Joyce and are now recorded by artists all over the world. \n  \nIn 2001\, fresh out of St. Olaf College with a degree in music composition\, I decided to try my own hand at this family tradition. My first carol\, a re-setting of Bates Burt’s “In a Far Judean City\,” was given its first reading at a pre-concert talk for a Dale Warland Singers holiday concert. Within days I received a call from Minnesota Public Radio\, who was interested in running a feature about the renewed family tradition. Now\, nearly every annual carol has premiered to a regional listening audience on Minnesota Public Radio.. \n  \nEach year\, my mom and I collaborate to produce the new Christmas card\, which\, like Bates and Uncle Al\, we send out to family and friends. She creates the design and does all the production\, which often includes hand-stamping\, pasting\, and glittering each card.” \n  \nAbout St. Paul’s NFSP Grant \nSt. Paul’s has been awarded a matching grant from the National Fund for Sacred Places (NFSP)\, a program of Partners for Sacred Places in collaboration with National Trust for Historic Preservation.  In 2024 St. Paul’s applied for and received the matching grant from the NFSP.  St. Paul’s was one of 24 congregations selected for this grant from among nearly 500 nationwide applicants of many faiths.  The congregation is seeking to raise about $150\,000 to match the NFSP grant and complete our building restoration projects as we celebrate the 150th anniversary of our sanctuary building.  \n  \nThe NFSP grant will help St. Paul’s address urgent structural needs\, ensuring its continued role as a gathering place for worship\, outreach\, and community activities into the next 150 years. \n  \nThe restoration projects include repairing damaged sandstone\, tuck pointing the original hand cut sandstone blocks\, and applying water sealant to protect the building. The NFSP grant will also support the restoration of some of St. Paul’s beautiful stained glass windows that were not restored in 1999-20. \n  \n The preservation work began this summer\, with the goal of completing the projects by fall 2026.   St. Paul’s invites the community to join in supporting these efforts to preserve a treasured piece of Marquette’s  history.. To learn more about this program and this year’s grant recipients\, visit fundforsacredplaces.org.  \n  \nNFSP Matching Grant and St. Paul’s 150th Anniversary Celebrations \nSt. Paul’s is holding events this year to celebrate the 150th anniversary of their sanctuary building and the NFSP restoration grant. \n  \nThe National Fund for Sacred Places supports the preservation of historic places of worship across the country\, helping congregations like St. Paul’s maintain their buildings as vital centers for community service and spiritual growth. \n  \nSt. Paul’s seeks to match the $135\,000 NFSP grant through donations from our congregation\, the community\, area businesses\, and foundations. \n  \nFor more information\, please contact: \n  \nJan Brodersen\, Music Director                    \nSt. Paul’s Episcopal Church                                                                                 fcole906@gmail.com  \nMarquette\, MI 49855                                            \n  \nOr  \n  \nFred Cole\, Grant Coordinator\, St. Paul’s \n201 East Ridge Street  \n906-361-9936 – cell \n  \njbrodersen56@gmail.com \n906-458-7783 -cell  \n  \nAbout St. Paul’s Episcopal Church: \nSt. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Marquette\, MI is a Upper Peninsula treasure that has a rich 170 year legacy of community service and outreach.
