SUMMARY:Beaumier Center Highlights Mary Jayne Hallifax's Photography
DESCRIPTION:exhibition opens July 9 and will be on display through Oct. 3 \nThe Beaumier U.P. Heritage Center \nThe Beaumier U.P. Heritage Center at NMU will open a new exhibition July 9 that features the work of one of the U.P.’s most prolific photographers. It is titled “Munising in Black & White: The Photographs of Mary Jayne Hallifax.” She was an in-demand commercial photographer who also captured numerous candid images of her hometown over seven decades. \nHallifax died in 2025 at the age of 96 and donated many of her original negatives to photograph collector Jack Deo\, who is loaning 60 images to the Beaumier Center for the exhibit. They represent a tiny fragment of her catalog and focus specifically on the 1950s and 1960s\, depicting community events\, street scenes\, school activities and the lives of people in the community.  \nA lifelong Munising resident\, Mary Jayne (Shampine) Hallifax was a 1946 graduate of W.G. Mather High School. While working on the school’s yearbook\, she was asked by the school secretary to take\, help develop and print photographs\, and from that her lifelong love with photography began. \nAfter she graduated and started working\, Mary Jayne spent her nights taking photos and developing them. It became such a passion that she gave up her job at People’s State Bank to pursue photography full time. She soon became Munising’s most in demand commercial photographer\, especially for weddings and senior photos. However\, she also loved just wandering the streets of Munising taking candid photos of people and the general “goings-on” in the community. She even took photos for the Michigan State Police crime lab. \nIn 1948\, Mary Jayne married Richard Hallifax\, and the pair worked on photography together. He did much of the film developing and press work\, while she focused on making prints\, and her portraiture studio work with families\, wedding parties and graduating students. During her career with newspaper work and even into retirement\, she photographed seven Michigan governors on their trips to Munising: G. Mennen “Soapy” Williams\, John Swainson\, George Romney\, William Milliken\, James Blanchard\, John Engler and Rick Snyder.  \nUp until her 95th birthday\, she had a weekly column “All About Town with Mary Jayne” or “Down Memory Lane in Alger County” for the Marquette Mining Journal and years earlier for the Munising News. \nThe exhibition will be on display through Oct. 3 at the Beaumier Center’s gallery in 223 Harden Hall at NMU. The center’s summer hours are noon to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. It is free and open to the public.  \n

SUMMARY:Copper Country Community Band Benefit Concert
DESCRIPTION:The Copper Country Community Band (CCCB) is rallying the community for a deeply personal cause. On Monday\, July 13th\, at 7:30 PM\, the band will host a benefit concert at the historic Calumet Theatre to support one of its founding members\, Bill “Benji” Brotherton\, and his wife\, Annie\, as they navigate a challenging health crisis. \n  \nFor over half a century\, Benji Brotherton has been a cornerstone of the local music scene. A trumpet player whose roots date back to the original Calumet Community Band in the 1970s\, Benji has lent his talents\, logistical skills\, and time to nearly every musical group in the area. Known as the “first to arrive and last to leave\,” he has spent decades hauling heavy equipment\, setting up chairs\, and giving rides to fellow musicians—all while working full-time as a dedicated nurse for 40 years and raising his children. \n  \nBenji’s legacy of generosity spans decades\, from organizing post-prom karaoke parties for local schools to fundraising for the New Orleans Humane Society after Hurricane Katrina. Today\, his musical legacy continues through his children\, including daughters Aili (trumpet) and Maggie (tuba)\, who frequently perform alongside him in the CCCB. \n  \nIn March\, the Brotherton family faced a devastating blow when Benji’s wife\, Annie—also a beloved area nurse of 40 years—was diagnosed with cancer. The diagnosis forced her to leave the job she loved to undergo immediate\, aggressive treatment\, placing an unexpected emotional and financial strain on the family. \n“Benji has spent his entire life stepping up for the Copper Country\, always the first to volunteer when someone else is in need\, and now it’s our turn to help them through this incredibly difficult time\,” said Amy Johnson\, co-director of the band. Micah Erickson\, the CCCB’s other co-director added\, “We are honored to provide support for Annie and Benji. Music plays such a vital role in our community\, such as bringing people together to support one another\, especially when it is a time of need for someone who has served our community for as long as they have.” \n  \nThe concert will feature a vibrant selection of community band favorites. Admission to the event is by free-will donation at the door. For those unable to attend but wishing to support the family\, direct donations can be made online through their GoFundMe page at https://www.gofundme.com/f/community-support-for-annie-and-benji-brotherton\, and QR codes linking to the fundraiser will be available at the theater. \n  \nCome out to the Calumet Theatre on Monday\, July 13th at 7:30 PM to celebrate a lifetime of community service and music\, and to support two of the Copper Country’s most dedicated caretakers.
