Corrections, notes:

In our coverage of the Oberschulte family and the recent sale of the Totem Shop in the May 24 edition of the Glen Arbor Sun, (stories: “What the spring brought” and “A fashionista returns to her roots”) we incorrectly reported that Diana and Marc Oberschulte have retired, and that their daughter Ann has inherited the Cotton Seed apparel store. In fact, Diana and Marc are anything but retired, as they still own the Cotton Seed and Bear North in Empire, and are very engaged with both stores, as you’ll see when you shop there. We apologize for these errors.

More homes on Lake Street
From staff reports
Another summer is here, and more homes are dotting the Glen Arbor skyline.
The developer of several Woodstone homes near the Crystal River has completed a building on Lake Street with four condominium units. Kevin Roush and John Klingaman plan to finalize the landscaping outside their Lake Street Condominiums, which will include boulders and a waterfall, before the end of this month. They have already held an open house where one of the four units was presented at a starting price of $449,000. “There is a tremendous desire for second homes,” Kevin explains. “People like to be in the middle of town, within walking distance of the lake. The trend,” he continues, “Is to lean toward simpler living, condominium style. We knew there would be need for that. Unlike the fractional ownership offered by Le Bear Resort at the end of Lake Street, the Condominiums are full ownership, which Kevin chalks up as a plus. “There’s nothing else right in the village for sale at that type of price range.”
Summer Singers releases
The Glen Arbor Art Association is inviting all area singers to participate in its summer choral group again this year. The Summer Singers will meet on eight Tuesday evenings, beginning June 19, from 7-9 p.m., at the Glen Lake Community Reformed Church in Burdickville. All adults and high school age youth are welcome.
The 50-voice choir will sing a wide variety of music, including this summer one or two pieces of original music by local composers. Singers are welcome to come as many or as few times as they can. Membership of the choir is a mix of vacationers and full-time residents. Typically they come from as far away as Traverse City, Northport and Beulah.
The Singers are directed by Richard DeVinney, former full-time organist and director of choirs at the First United Methodist Church in Grand Rapids and full-time music faculty member at Grand Rapids Community College.
A performance will be scheduled in August.
It is not necessary to enroll in advance. Singers can just come to the first rehearsal. For questions, call Dick at 334-7695 or e-mail dickmarion@aol.com.
