GRAND RAPIDS, Michigan – The community of Fraser was honored with the Michigan Municipal League’s 2018 Community Excellence Award on Sept. 22 during the League’s annual Convention in Grand Rapids.
The peer-nominated Community Excellence Awards (CEA), affectionately called “The Race for the Cup,” was started by the League in 2007 to recognize innovative solutions taking place in Michigan’s cities, villages and urban townships. It’s the highest and most prestigious award bestowed on a community by the statewide League. The winning community receives a large trophy cup that they get to have on display for the next year. Last year’s winner was the City of Hudsonville.
Fraser, located in Southeast Michigan with a population of about 14,480, won for McKinley Barrier-Free Park and Playground for People of ALL Abilities.
“This award represents the culmination of 12 or more long years of work, fundraising, and thousands and thousands of volunteer hours by a dedicated group of people,” said Michael Lesich, Fraser councilmember and member of Fraser First Booster Club. “As I take this award back, I think they’ll feel the same pride that we do for this project and our community.”
McKinley Barrier-Free Park has been a 12-year long volunteer effort led by a partnership between the City of Fraser, Fraser First Booster Club, and other groups and organizations. They have transformed a previously underused 15-acre park in the city into a barrier-free park and playground, offering accessible outdoor recreation for children and adults of all abilities, with a particular focus on the needs of those with special challenges.
“This park has really given our community an engaging, exciting place for people of all abilities and all ages,” said Christina Woods, Fraser Parks & Recreation director. “I really hope this park will serve as a reminder to all the volunteers who have been involved that with hard work, dedication, and passion you can make big things happen. Hopefully, it will spur other volunteer efforts in the future.”
Fraser was one of four finalists in the statewide Community Excellence Awards competition. The other three finalists were:
Muskegon – Muskegon’s Western Market
Owosso – The Armory Project
Saginaw – Downtown Saginaw SVRC Marketplace
The finalists were among 15 projects, programs, and initiatives involving 15 Michigan communities vying for the statewide Community Excellence Awards (CEA)—the most prestigious Michigan Municipal League honor.
The 2018 Race for the Cup began in the spring. Communities submitted projects on topics ranging from civic engagement and innovative delivery of services to placemaking and redevelopment. Each entry was ranked by a panel of judges, and the public had a chance to weigh in through an online voting component. The projects’ final score was based on the judges’ ranking (75 percent) and online voting (25 percent). The top four entries advanced to the final round.
Representatives from the final four presented their projects at the League’s 2018 Convention in Grand Rapids, Mich, Sept. 20-22. After hearing the presentations, Convention attendees voted for their favorite project, with Fraser receiving the most votes. Fraser was awarded the coveted CEA Trophy Cup at the conclusion of the Convention Saturday, Sept. 22. View past CEA winners here.

Next Camp for Advanced Young Artists Begins July 21
Hollywood, Fla. - The second and final session of the Art and Culture Center of Hollywood’s Young Artists Advanced camp starts Monday, July 21 and ends Friday, Aug. 1. This full-day camp is for students ages 10 to 15 and will take place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the ArtsPark at Young Circle, 1 Young Circle in downtown Hollywood.
The Young Artists Advanced program is for the student who has enrolled in the Young Artist program in the past or who would like to focus on learning more advanced techniques in the visual arts. Students enrolled in this camp will take their art-making skills to the next level. Participating students will receive a portfolio to add their work to as their artistic abilities take flight. Students will also explore the curatorial process as they assist in framing, mounting, and designing the session’s final exhibition. Students will also experience local art-focused excursions to galleries, be introduced to prestigious art professionals, and meet skilled local artists who will discuss and critique their work.
In this session, which focuses on the fundamentals of 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional art, students will become familiar with the use of line, form, color, and balance through working with materials such as paint, charcoal, clay, and more. The session culminates in an exhibition for family and friends.
Camp prices per child are $400 for members and $425 for non-members. A limited number of partial scholarships are available through the Center’s Arts Outreach Program for qualifying families. A special scholarship opportunity is also available to Hallandale teens ages 14 and 15. Download an application at ArtAndCultureCenter.org/summer-camp to apply.

What do you do when you need to set up brackets for a twenty-team double-elimination tournament? Turn to master bracketologist Shibby, of course. The bracket in question was for use in Easton, Pennsylvania, at our traditional watering hole of Mothers Bar & Grille. We had the whole back room.
While this may seem a fairly unassuming photgraph aesthetically, I like the clear rendering of the erasure marks on the blackboard -- each hair of the eraser is quite visible -- as well as the vivid, high-saturation primary colour scheme rendered between Shibby's lapis lazuli blue sweater, the earthy red bricks, and the jade green frame to the blackboard.
In the Advanced Search the Leaf screen gives you the option to choose particular botanical features of the plants that you require, Margin, Shape etc.
