There was a small story in the Jan. 2 paper about the Caledonia and Thornapple Kellogg high school alumni basketball game that would be held March 20. It was one of those events that means a lot to a community. In Middleville, planning decisions had impact the entire year. In January, the village planning commission was asked to change zoning on the renovated building at 218 Main St. to residential from commercial. It still has not sold.

The story of the year is the new public library steadily rising in the Caledonia Centre mall, which involved the efforts of the governing bod­ ies of both the village and the township. The library is on land located within the vil­ lage; two parcels were rezoned into a planned unit development and site plan approval was required from the village. The Caledonia Township Board of Trustees put out the request for propos­ al for a general contractor; Fishbeck, Thompson, Carr and Huber Inc., was selected with a bid of $2,825 million for the facility. Most of the task of arranging for a bond issue to cover the cost fell to Treasurer Richard Robertson. Projections have the new facility opening for business on Feb. 1. Continuing in the public sector, township officials selected First Company Inc. to act as the general contrac­ tor for renovating vacant space in the building at 8192 Cherry Valley Ave. The 29,000-square-foot building is home to the Caledonia Fire Department, which uses approximately 12,000 square feet. About $700,000 has been spent to renovate the south end of the building, and on Monday, Aug. 23, the township offices opened for business at that new site.

They all attempted to prove to onlookers just why they have what it takes to hold the title. Each contestant came with a platform, a cause that they believe in and work hard to support. The first category in the contest was an on-stage question, worth five percent of their final score, where they were asked to explain why their platform was important to them, or what their opinion was about certain problems facing their platform. On stage hosting the event were Miss West Michigan 2009 Kelsey DefendachMerril and Miss West 2010 Michigan Rachel McCleery. They guided the girls through all of the por­ tions, including the second event, the swimsuit competi­ tion. Girls walked across the stage in their chosen suits, $ A1 11 Winner Kelly Oles stands adorned in her crown and sash after winning the contest, the best out of 20 girls.

According to organizers all the girls on stage showed promise through the first two stages, making it difficult for both spectators and judges to decide who should represent this part of Michigan and get the chance to compete in the Miss Michigan Pageant in June, a state preliminary to the Miss America Pageant. “We had an amazing group of young women in this year’s Miss West Michigan Scholarship Pageant.” said Kelli Leep, executive director of the pag­ eant. “A lot of people said they wouldn't want to be a judge, because the ladies were so great, they didn't know how they could choose.” The pageant then moved on to the talent competition, girls performing talents such from singing to hula danc­ ing, flute playing to drum solos. This portion made up 35 percent of the final score, and rang in the next portion, the evening gown competi­ tion. The ladies strutted their formal wear on stage, show­ ing the crowd and judges their classy side, their scores tallying 20 percent of their final score. With all of the events complete, judges counted the scores of the 20 ladies, deciding contestant number 19, Kelly Oles, would be named Miss West Michigan 2011 and take home the crown. Oles is 22 years old and her platform was “Healthy lifestyles influencing youth,” and she performed vocally for her talent. Close behind were her contestants Mekeisha Alcock, Morgan Lind, Jenelle Sekol, and Rachel Sweet. “They were awesome,” said Leep. “We had a great show, amazing talent, and #0. .a the whole thing was held in the beautiful new Thornapple Kellogg High School auditorium, a great M facility. The winner took home a $1,000 scholarship ($400 from Miss West Michigan Children's Miracle Network Fundraising, $600 from Miss West Michigan Pageant), a crown, a rhinestone sash, crown case, Miss America crown pin, rhinestone title pin, and a $1000 in kind Baker scholarship from College.

The CalPlex facility, a col­ laborative project among the private sector, the township government, and Caledonia Community Schools, moved along last spring and sum­ mer; the fields should be ready for play in the coming year. the of village In Caledonia, once the library received formal approval, the major issues for the council were taxes and budgets. The township/village hall at 250 Maple St. is jointly owned by the two bodies. The township board's •It decision to move its offices is leading the village to explore its options for other space. Although no decisions have yet been made, one possibility is reno­ vation of space in the depart­ ment of public works build­ ing at 230 Maple St. The planning commission approved the expansion of Seif Chevrolet, a business that has been located in the village for 40 years. The expansion project will result in a new body shop and allow enlargement of the existing service area. Once the planning com­ mission finished approving the site plan for the proposed new public library, most of its time was spent cleaning up details in ordinances and amending the zoning map to reflect the master plan for land use. The commission, on the advice of legal counsel, decided to take up the issue of regulations for the sale of medical marijuana. A care­ fully crafted ordinance was worked on over a four-month period.

The ordinance limits such businesses to a defined business area; in other words, contrary to the choice made by the City of Grand Rapids, the sale of medical marijuana in the village cannot be a home occupation. However the ordinance does not and cannot prohibit a cer­ tified patient from growing marijuana for personal, med­ ical use in his or her residence. Village President Scott Williamson addressed the budget and tax issues. Discussions leading to the budget for the fiscal year 2009-10 (which runs through June 30 each year) marked the first serious public dis­ cussion of the need to raise the tax rate from 5.444 mills to 6.444 mills; the motion went down on a tie: vote. However by the winter of 2010, it had become increas­ ingly clear that further cuts to an already tight budget in the 2010-11 fiscal year would be severe. Residents turned out for a special meet­ ing and made it clear that they were willing to pay more in taxes as well as some entertain further economies that would not impact significantly on the quality of life in the village. With public support, the council voted to raise the tax rate beginning in December to 6.444 mills. for village Elections offices on Nov. 2 saw a change in village leadership. Williamson had let it be known that he would not run for another two-year term as village president. Glenn Gilbert, who had been serv­ ing as a trustee, filed Aug. 10 for president and was elected in November. An unusual situation arose for the office of village trustee. Sharon Mortensen and Terry Mulvihill were up for • election; Mortensen chose not to run and Mulvihill, who had moved from the village, was ineligi­ ble. Only Danise Regan, who had been appointed to fill a vacancy, chose to file in August. In the Nov. 2 elec­ tion. voters were confronted with the possibility of choosing from four write-in candi­ dates. Voters elected Regan and two write-in candidates, Gary Scholl and Todd Grinage. A vacancy also existed on the council when Craig Mitchell, whose term did not expire until 2012, resigned in the summer. After the new council was sworn in, its first task was to appoint Tim Overholt, who had been a third write-in candidate, to fill the vacancy. organizations Several serve both communities. The Caledonia Merchants Association became an affil­ iate of the Michigan Chamber of Commerce in the spring and has continued its practice of sponsoring community events focused primarily on the Caledonia Centre mall. The Caledonia Rotary Club also continued to grow. The Kiwanis Club of Caledonia continued to sponsor the establishment of clubs within the schools and to sponsor other projects aimed at child safety such as the Safe Kids seat checks. The Caledonia Women’s Club sponsored a scholarship for a graduating woman senior at Caledonia High School. A farmers market was located on the east side of M37 in the parking lot serving a strip mall and proved to be popular with residents in the summer. It is likely that the site will be a permanent loca­ tion. Two of the most popular events are the long-running Fourth of July celebration, which features many activi­ ties and ends with a fire­ works display. The Western Week sponsored by the Main Street Caledonia Merchants, composed primarily of businesses located downtown, was held for the third time in June and contin­ ued to grow and attract more visitors. 4 11 .

Go to the gym more often? Learn a new language? All worthy ambitions, of course. but this year, why not add some financial resolutions as well? __ Which resolutions should you make? Here are a few ideas to consider: • Boost your retirement accounts. No matter how old you'll be in 2011, one thing is certain — you're a year clos­ er to retirement than you were in 2010. And that's why you'll want to increase your contributions to your retire­ ment accounts. If your salary is going up in 2011, boost the amount you defer for your 401(k) or other employersponsored retirement plan, such as a 403(b) plan (if you work for a school or other tax-exempt organization) or a 457(b) plan (if you work for a state or local government). With tax-deductible contribu­ tions, tax-deferred growth of earnings and several investment options, these types of plans are tremendous ways to save for retirement. And try to “max out” your traditional or Roth IRA, too. • Look for opportunities. uncertainties in the (economy and the volatility of the rina'nCial markets, many people decide to head to the investment “sidelines” for a while. Yet, this environment may actually be a good one for investors with patience, discipline and the ability to look beyond yesterday's headlines. For one thing, many quality securities are now good values. Also, we're still seeing low inflation and low interest rates — factors that may lead to greater eco­ nomic demand and improved strength in the financial markets. • Don't over-react to market swings. Over the past few­ years, we’ve seen plenty of sudden, sharp swings in the financial markets, and you're likely going to see more of them in 2011. Don't over­ react to either the “ups" or the “dow ns” of the market. Over­ reacting leads to short-term thinking — and successful investors are the ones who can maintain a long-term per­ spective. • Rebalance when necessary. At least once a year, review and rebalance your portfolio, as necessary, to make sure it still reflects your goals, risk tolerance and family situa­ tion, all of which can change over time. • Reduce your debts. While the sluggish economy of the past couple of years has obvi­ ously been a cause of concern for everyone, we have seen one “silver lining" in that many people, concerned about over-spending, have shed some of their debt load. The less money you have to spend on your debts, the more you'll have available to invest for your future, so do what you can to cut down on what you owe. • Maintain adequate cash levels. As an investor, you've got at least two good reasons for maintaining enough cash in your portfolio. First, hav­ ing adequate cash available means you'll be ready to act quickly to take advantage of good investment opportuni­ ties. And second, by having a cash cushion, you won't be forced to liquidate long-term investments to pay for short­ term needs such as a major car repair, a new furnace, a big doctor's bill, and so on. By following these sugges­ tions, you can position your­ self to make progress toward your long-term goals in 2011 — and in all the New Years that follow.

This year, she is again per­ formed at senior facilities in Kent and Barry counties. She has made the program bigger and better. Teegardin thought it would be a delight to see if she could enlist other string players and per­ form as a group. She recruit­ ed several more violin play­ ers, a viola player and a cello player. They gave their group the name of The Caledonia String Players and have been playing at senior retirement homes during Christmas break, sometimes two per­ formances a day to see that area elderly citizens might have a little brighter holiday, Among the places they performed were Carveth Village in Middleville and Station Creek in Caledonia. They performed the traditional Christmas music and some not-so- traditional, such as “Rockin' Up in the Housetop,” “Irish Party in Third Class,” “Serendipity” and the “Tennessee Waltz” for the enjoyment of the residents. After they finished their regular lineup of music pieces, the kids took turns playing solos and duets of classical music. At the con­ clusion of the concerts, the players mingled with the res­ idents and answered ques­ tions. The players are students in the Caledonia schools and .7 c * V I I b Ik I I h- . I* t * active in the music scene there. Teegardin performs on violin and is a ninth grader at Caledonia High School and a member of the Caledonia Honors Orchestra. She has been awarded numerous blue ribbons for her performances at Michigan Schools Band and Orchestra Association (MSBOA). She also is a member of the St. Cecilia Music Society Philharmonic Orchestra under the leadership of Dan Scott and has been past concertmaster of the concert orchestra there. She has been a Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp participant for the past three years. She is the daughter of Skip and Myraflor Teegardin. Also playing violin, is Rachel Smeenge, a ninth grader at Caledonia High School. She started playing violin when she was about 8 years old. She began her musical instruction while in the Byron Center school system and transferred to Caledonia High School this past fall. She is a member of the Caledonia Concert Orchestra and is the daughter and Karen of Bryan Smeenge. Smeenge.

She is the daughter of Don and Sharon Rawlins. Paul Seper is the group's Quality Family Eye Care Since 1929 * viola player. He is a sopho­ more at Caledonia High School and a member of the honors orchestra. He has been playing viola for seven years and has been awarded numerous Division I and II solo and ensemble ratings at MSBOA festivals. Last year, he qualified to play at the state level. He enjoys work­ ing with younger students and has helped with a sum­ mer orchestra camp at Duncan Lake Middle School for five years. He is the son of Karl and Laurie Seper. Karina Bursch plays cello for the group's ensemble. She is an eighth grader at Kraft Meadow Middle School and a member of the school’s orchestra and hon­ ors orchestra. She started playing when she was in the fourth grade, has attended MSBOA three times having been awarded two blue ribbons.

She is the daughter of Angela and John Bursch. The kids perform these concerts as a community service. According to Skip Teegardin, two Caledonia music teachers have worked with these students. “Teacher Pete DeLille, the Caledonia High School Orchestra director for 33 years, has dedicated his life to teaching young orchestra students, said Teegardin. “In addition to the high school students, DeLille also starts teaching interested fourth and fifth graders from the district’s elementary schools." the elementary Once school kids finish their initial training with DeLille, they then become music students -*-s I if EH * Performing over the holidays in a concert for senior citizens are from left to right, Westi Teegardin, Sarah Rawlins, Rachel Smeenge, Paul Seper and Korina Bursch. in the sixth grade through eighth grade, under the direction of David Sowerby, he said. “Sowerby has been teach­ ing music in the district for like seven years and. DeLille, is dedicated to his added profession, Teegardin. The Members of Caledonia String Players are talking already about expanding their appearances in the future to include the area hospitals and perhaps the veterans home. The students completed their concert tour before Christmas. They have used the time after Christmas to restore their energy and spend time with their own families.

I operate an adult foster care home and on several occasions have had situations where 911 help was needed. As far back as I can remem­ ber, whenever I called, Billy, as we lovingly know him, was promptly here, display­ ing professionalism in man­ ner, dress and performance. If one of my residents was agitated, Billy was able to immediately calm him or her down. His very presence is compelling;* his gentle man­ ner settling.

Anyone who has had any dealings with him knows what an all-American young gentleman he is. His wonder­ ful character is trumped only by his profound professional­ ism as a firefighter. For the township to have dismissed Lt. Bill Wilson III, its second in command for baseless reasons is not only unjust, it is also detrimental. The feelings of safety and security I enjoyed in the past are no longer here. Instead, I feel vulnerable. I feel that the township has just put all of us in harm’s way and for no just cause, and I think they need to answer to us - the citizens for whom they work. I, for one, would like to get to the bottom of this witch hunt and find the true reason why they took such despica­ ble actions against such a good and noble man who was truly a valuable asset to the community. I feel that we have been forever maimed by our township supervisor and the board who have not only dealt injustice to a good young man, but have slapped a black mark across the citi­ zens of Caledonia as well. We need to inundate the township office with calls stating our disapproval, dis­ appointment and disgust. If we look into it, I am confi­ dent that we will find that there is more going on than meets the eye. I smell a skunk in the woodpile. Judith Traill, Alto 6• - H.1I i fA $ jr’; nt* “Clarification” draws more explanation To the editor: It’s too bad I feel the need to write to the paper to clarify the Dec. 25 article of Kyle Svoboda’s clarification of the Dec. 18 article regarding the traffic safety violation, our in-house training was ignored. Our guidelines states that the driver of an authorized emergency vehi­ cle may proceed past a red or stop signal or stop sign, but only after slowing down as may be necessary for safe operation. • Contrary to that, Deputy Chief Randy Eaton and I wit­ nessed Kyle Svoboda’s drive through the intersection of M-37 and Main Street using lights and siren. He didn’t stop and visually clear the intersection prior to proceed­ ing as we were trained. He violated our guidelines and state law by driving through the intersection at a speed we deemed to be unsafe. There was not a suggestion that he violated a department driving policy. He did. Making a mistake does not damage your credibility, but how you manage that mis­ take can. Credibility is dam­ aged by writing an inaccu­ rate, misleading letter. Neither disciplinary write­ ups were accusations. What was told by Thornapple Township Susan Clerk Vlietstra was that Kyle approached her about an issue. Kyle should have gone to Deputy Chief Eaton since Chief David Middle-ton was on vacation. It wasn't until the meeting of Dec. 13 that the township clerk told the whole story and the chief rescinded the disciplinary action, because what he was told (and for quite some time) was not accurate. The arrogance to think that this commitment is a “hobby”says a lot about him. Thirty-plus people are giving of their time to train. I would think and I assume emer­ ■it gency services personnel nationally would think that this training, along with the responsibility of satisfying the 1,000 -plus 911 calls of the community, is not a “hobby” but a desire to serve. In closing, at the end of the township meeting, the chief shook hands with Kyle set­ ting the differences aside. Perhaps Kyle Svoboda did not. With deep regret, I submit this letter, so the public will know the facts about a repri­ mand that, taken like a true professional, would have been kept between Chief Middleton, Deputy Chief Eaton, and Kyle Svoboda, and not the public. “Realize the mistake, learn, grow, and move on.” Rod Preslar, Middleville hl** S*i i I JWi W, to ah ft ■aGirfla -a ft ahi J 111 Pit.

Is the start of the school year Jan. 1 or is it the first day of school in September?

Main Street Caledonia, MI 49316 This article is a look at the schools from January to December 2010, touching on some of the high and low lift points of the year. One of the high points of 2010 in the schools was a focus The on alumni. Middleville and Caledonia Rotary clubs brought alumni togetherfor a basketball game that raised laughter and funds for the clubs in March, Another such game is being planned for 2011 by both Rotary Clubs at Caledonia High School. Individuals were important through the year. Re-elected to the school board were Kim Selleck and Dave Smith. They had been challenged by Tim Whitney. The death of Rex Schad Oct. 14 gave residents in the district a reason to reflect on his contributions to the schools during his service on the board of education from 1966 to 1974, including three years as board president. He also served the schools as a Community Foundation. He and his wife Christine, a for­ mer TK teacher, were named Hometown Heroes and hon­ ored by the Thomapple Area Enrichment Foundation in September 2009. Long-time teacher and wrestling coach Tom Lehman was honored as the grand marshal of the 2010 homecoming parade, Alumni wrestlers were invited to join festivities honoring Lehman. Perhaps the most significant accomplishment for the new school year was the opening of the new performing arts center at the high school. The Oct. 10 open house allowed residents to discover the new spaces at the high school and other buildings in the district. The first concerts were held in the auditorium and one included a new piece of music written in its honor. The Thomapple Kellogg Players first play on the stage, “Little Women,” filled the auditoriurn Nov. 12 and 13. Throughout the year, students from kindergarten through high school explored science, literature and the arts, Teachers brought in grants and other resources. Students compcted in Odyssey of the Mind and Science Olympiad, and member of the Middleville physics students brought a Rotary Club and the Barry new look at Halloween through science at the Thomapple Kellogg School and Community Library. 06737286 Students at Lee Elementary continued the Jump Rope for Heart tradition.

The Trojans advanced to Tuesday’s championship with a 57-47 victory over the Packers. It was the second big run to end a half in the ball game for the Trojans. They went on a 15-4 run in the final five minutes of the first half to take a 31-22 lead into the break. Stolicker had eight of his game-high 28 points in that run. Of his 15 first-half points, ten came on offensive putbacks. Stolicker also had 16 rebounds on the night. “They’ve got him at 6-9, and with a full-ride to Ferris (State University),” said Fremont head coach Peter Zerfas. “We don't see too many kids like (Stolicker) over where we play, but we f still thought we'd be in it if we could keep him to 25 points or less.” The Packers were in it despite Stolicker passing that 25-point mark.

Those two big buckets eliminated a Caledonia lead which had grown to as many as eight points, and helped the Rangers go on to a 63-54 win over the Fighting Scot varsity hoys' basketball team in the opening round of the Cornerstone University High School Holiday Tournament Tuesday. Caledonia led 30-25 at the half, hut never got into sync offensively in the second half. “We got out executed on both ends of the floor in the second half and we're really struggling with the mental aspect of the game right now,” said Caledonia head coach Todd Bloemers. He said one way to solve those problems is to prepare better in practice, but it also comes down to desire. “Part of it comes down to executing the little things that help teams become suc­ cessful, ball reversal and post entry and I didn't see a lot of that in the second half," Bloemers said. After the Rangers took that 49-44 lead early in the fouth after quarter Witttenbach's threes, his team led by at least three points the rest of the way. Wittenbach finished with a game-high 28 points as well as six rebounds and four blocked shots. FHC also got ten points from James Nutter and eight points and five rebounds from Jonah Lakatos. Stephen Spencer and Jonathan Meerman had ten points each for the Scots. Meerman finshed with ten rebounds too, as well as two assists and two steals. Spencer had five assists. Caledonia also had nine poitns from Jake Rempe, eight from Kail Venema, and Paul seven from TenHarmsel. For Sale OUTDOOR WOOD FURNACE - Bums shelled com or w •IOi pellets.

Voting to deny the dispen­ saries were David Newman, Amanda Pullen, Kevin McLaughlin and Sue Reyff This proposal had been under discussion for several months. The public hearing at the planning commis­ sion’s Dec. 7 meeting was extended to the January meeting. Harry King presented again his reasons for seeking a dispensary for patients needing medical marijuana. He told the commission this was a good asset for those patients. The dispensary could provide counseling as well as the proper medica­ tions for those patients with the proper cards and pre­ scriptions from a physician. He provided information for planning commission members from the United Department States of Veterans Affairs which showed that they are follow­ ing the rules set by individ­ ual states. Several members of the commission were concerned that they could control dis- pensaries, but would not be able to control home use of medical marijuana, including the growing of plants by those patients. “I know you have had a lot to think about on this issue," King said. “Some think that approving dispensaries will bring bad karma to a neigh­ borhood or bring in bad peo­ ple.” He asked the commission to remember that some of those using medical marijua­ na are dying. They do not have time to grow the 12 plants they are allowed in the legislation to have the med­ ication they need for their caregivers to assist them. Gun Lake Winterfest to feature new events 0 O' T niW won OVift ioid) on; imoj Old favorites to return Feb. 18-20 The annual Gun Lake Winterfest is back with both new events and old favorites Friday, Feb. 18, through Sunday, Feb. 20. Back from previous years are the comedy show the Feb. 18, featuring three comedians to get attendees out of the house and show them a good time. The fol­ lowing day, the ever-popular polar dip returns, along with “ice tee" golf and the fourmile snow stomp to get the heart pumping. New this year is a hot air balloon glow show from 6:30 to 7:30 on Saturday, balloon pilots putting on a light show in the sky and a tug-of-war competition that day. Ice fishing is also sure to be popular this year, and once again prizes will go to the best fishermen in sever­ al categories. The ice fish­ ing schedule has been changed, with the date and time to be announced. Many more events are packed into the three-day event, from fashion shows to contests and dinners. With so many activities, the event this year is sure to cure the winter blues for the entire family, say organiz­ ers.

The dis­ trict is a public corporation with an annual budget of $39.7 million. The district has many masters: federal and state governments, the voters who elect its governing body, and ultimately the 4,512 children it is charged with educating for a rapidly changing world.

Paris Ridge students helping Afghan children W unit, \ fata^tai t mi Wrote Students and staff at the Paris Ridge Elementary School in Caledonia are reaching out to help students in Afghanistan. The school was contacted by an American law enforce­ ment professional and his cause touched the hearts of staff. For Afghan children ages 1 through 12, he requested used shoes or boots, used winter hats, used winter gloves, used socks, used toys such as e dolls, action figures and toy cars and other small toys, with along pens and notepads. The letter sent home to parents says," As cold as the kids are, they beg for pens more than anything so they can learn. Again, please do not spend your money buy­ ing these items, whatever old items that can be found in your closet would be won­ derful. If you send new items, they will be stolen.” The collection of used items, including pens and pencils will end Friday, Jan. 21.

The man said 22 Vicodin and 13 Flexeril pills missing. He told deputies the housekeeper had been termi­ nated, but that she might have a key to the house. When deputies contacted the housekeeper, she told deputies the homeowner never asked her about pills and terminated her because he could not afford to pay her anymore.

Correction * rj t j ar * Ir ,1 J 616-891-2020 I ■ r* o> by David DeDecker Staff Writer Employees at five area stores were given civil cita­ tions over the holidays for selling alcohol to minors. In all, Barry' County Sheriff deputies approached 28 local establishments. According to Barry' County Prosecutor Tom Evans, compliance to the law has increased several percentage points since last ye^; _ _ Clerks at Delton Short Stop and Greg’s Get-n-Go of Middleville were cited Dec. 28 for selling to minors. Cloverdale General Store, W Hand Express Mart and Dowling Marathon employees were caught selling to minors Dec. 29 and were given citations by Barry County Sheriff deputies. In three cases, when ques­ tioned by deputies, the employees pointed to the state-furnished sign which 2 is the year of states birth for legal sales. Deputies pointed out that 1992 is the birth year for legal sales of tobacco, and clarified the sign also states 1989 is the birth year for legal alcohol sales. In one case, the clerk told deputies she had swiped the ID and it was cleared for sale of alcohol. When deputies asked for the record, the woman confessed she did not know how to use the card­ swipe equipment. One clerk said she had a line of customers waiting, so she did not check ID. The deputies worked with undercover 18-year-old “decoys." Given $20 cash. the decoys were asked to enter various stores and pur­ chase alcoholic beverages with a Michigan ID that clearly showed the individ­ ual was underage. After purchasing the alco­ hol, the undercover employ­ ee would exit the store, inform deputies that he or she had been able to make a purchase and give the alcohoi and remaining change to the deputies. The deputies then entered the stores, identified and questioned the per­ son selling to the minor, and issued a ticket to the person for selling alcohol to a minor. The alcohol was returned to the store, along with the change, and the ini­ tial $20 cash retrieved. A receipt of the sale was kept as evidence. Since the sales were uncovered by a decoy, the store clerks were cited for a civil infraction and must pay $100 each. If sale of alcohol to a minor is discovered without the aid of a decoy the penalties are more severe. According to Michigan law, a liquor licensee or an employee of the licensee who sells or furnishes alco­ holic beverages to a minor may be found guilty of a mis­ demeanor. By the current law, a first time offender may face 60 days in jail, a fine of $ 1,000, or both. There may also be additional administration fines beyond the criminal penalties. A licensee who sells or furnishes to a minor, whose employees sell or furnish to a minor or who allow minors to consume alcoholic bever­ ages may be charged with a violation of the state's liquor control code. Penalties for violations, especially repeat violations can include the loss of a liquor license and fines up to $1,000 per charge. The local unit of government can request that the Michigan Liquor Control Commission revoke the license of an off-premise licensee who has been found guilty of selling alcoholic beverages to minors on three separate occasions in a noted period of time. The licensee also may be held liable in civil suits when the sale or furnishing of alcoholic bev­ erages is found to be the proximate cause of damage, injury or death of an inno­ cent party.

Just after noon on New Year’s Day and under a blue sky and brilliant sunshine, Calley, 33, was sworn in as Michigan’s new lieutenant governor. Calley, who served two terms in the Michigan House of Representatives representing Barry and Ionia counties in the 87th District, said prior to his swearing-in that he’s get­ ting used to representing and entire state and not just one region. 66 It's a little surreal leaving the House of Representatives that becomes so much a part of your identity and who you represent; Hastings and Ionia, Barry County and Ionia County," he said. “And now, to have traveled the whole state the last six the mindset now months of representing the entire state is really quite an honor.” Still, Calley said he will be keeping ties with Barry and1 lonia counties. “1 don't plan to be a stranger," he said. “I'll still be a part of the community that I've always been a part of.” Calley said he recognized that Inauguration Day was more for the people of Michigan and for the new governor than for himself. 66 If a lieutenant governor was speaking in the woods and nobody was there to hear him, would he make a sound?” he joked. “People are here to hear |Gov.| Rick Snyder's speech, so while > ’J Iw ** A s I 1X A ■}’ ft • inoa :: o♦ I! ni 'i * I K • tan •‘•'i1 •’ tllO UM - ll QUDOMl | J ! mute®8 li gwi*' '• 11 in I'm honored that there's a period of time in the program for me to speak. I'm under no illusion on why the crowed has gathered.'' Calley met Snyder just over a year ago and said the two really hit it off. “Later on, we worked back and forth via e-mail on developing a couple of poli­ cy ideas — some on the platform he ran on, just as an additional vetting source since I have a background in tax policy," said Calley. “He had a tax plan, and we went back and forth on that and out of that grew a relationship. We started talking on a fairly regular basis on the phone and still ran into each other in different places and became friends." Calley followed Snyder’s inaugural address Saturday with a five-minute speech that echoed Snyder’s call to reinvent Michigan and its economy, but not before pondering if the day's weather was a harbinger for the new governor. “I can’t help but look up at this sky and think, ‘Gov. Snyder, your administration is off to a great start,"' said Calley. Calley thanked citizens for turning out and showing their support. “You're here on the first day of the new decade," Calley told the crowd of sev­ eral thousand assembled in front of the Capitol. “And with it comes renewed opportunity to change the course of our state • • • to bring in era about a new about Michigan." Calley said the state's fortunes lie within its citizens. “All of us have a vested interest in seeing our people succeed," said Calley. “As citizens of this state, each of us has a role to play in the direction of Michigan. We must recognize that the power to change our future lies in the people of The reinvention Michigan of Michigan will come from each of us, but we have a responsibility, the responsibility to overpower the iner­ tia that resists change ... a responsibility to demand that r I Caledonia Legion to host veterans Jan. 15 JiL ■ I es * f * Ix * mCX. £ I J k * 7 1 The Caledonia American Legion along with Chemical Bank will once again say thanks to residents of the Grand Rapids Home for Veterans. Local veterans from the home will be welcomed to the American Legion Post on Cherry Valley Avenue in Caledonia Saturday, Jan. 15. Residents of the home will be served a luncheon at 1 p.m., followed by prize-filled Bingo games until approxi­ mately 5 p.m.. As with last year's event every veteran in attendance will walk away a winner. “We owe a great debt of gratitude to our veterans," said event coordinator Chet Teater. “The residents of the Grand Rapids Home for Veterans need our support and help. It's an obligation we can’t ignore. With the help of our major sponsor, Chemical Bank, we can make a difference in their lives, even if it’s only for a day." The public is welcome and encouraged to join in thank­ ing veterans for their service. Anyone who would like to participate or donate to the may call Teater at 616-2992255. SCHOOLS, continued from page 1 offered by the Michigan School Energy Cooperative. For example, Lynelle Dodge, director of special education services in Caledonia, also senes as the director of special education senices in the Byron Center school district. The decision by the cooperative to expand its executive committee to permit the agency to engage in bulk purchasing for gaso­ line and diesel fuel means Caledonia can save money on those purchases as well as purchases of electricity and natural gas. Major roofing projects, replacement of heating and air conditioning equipment, lighting fixtures and comput­ erized control systems have led to continued savings. Gary Delger, director of operations, noted that while some of the heating and ven­ tilation systems were still within their useful life, the replacement of boilers and ventilation equipment was justified because technologi­ cal improvements made the cost-payback very attractive. A second factor driving decision-making was the decline in cost attributable to eco­ nomic conditions within the district; the poor economic conditions made capital jimprovement dollars go farther. CalPlex, a collaborative arrangement among between (|ie district and the township, a|so benefited from the eco­ nomic climate as work proceeded on the fields that will be used by athletic groups and the district. Again, alternatives that previously were omitted because funds would not stretch to permit the ideal became feasible as different phases of the project were bid; bids for different parts of the facility came in at lev­ els that permitted a parking ]ot to be paved and an additional, overflow gravel-surfaCed parking lot to be constructed as well as paved paths, making the site much more wheelchair accessible. The new Paris Ridge Elementary School in Leighton Township welCOmed 250 students when it opened in the fall of 2010; besides giving the district a physical facility in a second county, the new school also benefited from technology your elected officials do things that are good in the long term for this state instead of popular in the short term." In an interview earlier in the day, Calley explained why the time had come to reinventing Michigan. “We have a system today that has been cobbled togeth­ er over the years to just get by,” he said. “In the past, it didn’t really matter because we had an industrial base that was here, and you just couldn't move industrial [then] the businesses... world shrunk and we didn’t change.” Looking at it objectively, said Calley, Michigan's decline began more than 50 years ago. “We just have really tried to build a system to protect what we had instead of being aggressive about the future — reinventing how we do things and what we do and our attitude towards things instead of just trying to hold on to the past. [It’s time to] embrace the future.” said Manufacturing, Calley, will still be part of the state state ’s business model but that model has changed drastically over the years. How do we need to change to best take advantage of that? he asked. “Our attitude is that we can't fix the system as we have it today. We have to completely reinvent it ... There’s no time to wait. Michigan was the driving force that built the American middle class. To thrive again, we need to recapture that spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship, It's what made our state great.” Calley spoke about taking a logical approach to governing and used the analogy of running a business to the state's economy, adding that it's time to put politics aside. “Instead of saying, ‘Who was the biggest donor?’ or. ‘Who was really active on the campaign?' or ‘Who do we need to do a political favor for?' we said. Who has the background and experience for this job? Who's the best, literally the best?"' Calley said the key would be to employ a strategy that “gives us the best chance at success.” “We know that people in Michigan have a spirit, have g the ideas, have entrepreneurs and innovators already on the ground, and if we can just get out of their way and in some cases, help, then they'll do their thing, and employment will begin to come back," he said. “But, until we get the right framework in place, the right climate, that won't change." Calley echoed the senti­ ment at the close of his inaugural remarks. “There's a point in all things where the outcome can be changed," he said, “This is our one chance. .* JIV MllVVIVilWll and the economic climate. Installation of a vertical wind turbine is expected to pro­ vide the power to operate the computer lab. The district also took advantage of exist­ ing plans and saved over $300,000 in architectural fees by adapting the plans used to design Emmons Lake Elementary School. Beyond the budgetary accomplishments in 2010, the second major accom­ plishment was in the area of technology and the Netbook computer. For the first time, all the students in 35 middle school and 47 elementary school classrooms were equipped with computers; every class­ room also had access to wireless networks. Phillips estimated that $1.5 million was spent on the purchase of enough Netbooks to give all 1,800 students in grades three through eight, a com­ puter. Students in grades one and two also gained access to the computers. Randy Rodriguez, director of curriculum and instruction. endorsed the use of computers as a teaching tool, citing the ability to bring events to the classroom as they occur. He also noted that the increased use of computers is resulting in the use of less paper, leading to savings in the costs of buy­ ing paper and disposing of it. Beyond the provision of computer resources at the middle elementary and school levels, there were sig­ nificant expenditures to upgrade existing facilities at the high school. Jim Glazier, high school principal, noted that the servers were 10 years old and were crashing with increasing frequency with a negative impact on the net­ works and databases. James Oldfield, director of technology for the district, said new equipment was light years beyond what was being used in the high school. Phillips, addressing new faculty and support staff dur­ ing the Aug. 31 orientation day, said, “Use technology in your teaching." Challenges and changes were not limited to the budg­ et and commitment to tech­ nology. The board also faced its own. Ken Yonker, presi­ dent, by, by deciding to run to succeed State Rep. Justin Amash. who was running for the U.S. House of Representatives seat being relinquished by Congressman Vernon Ehlers, was barred from running for another term on the board. Patricia Johnson also decided not to run for anoth­ er term. Marcy White and Michael LoMonaco were unopposed and were elected to the two seats May 4. In June, a vacancy occurred when Bradley Engelberg resigned. Eleven persons applied for the vacancy; Mary Ann Timmer was chosen by the board and will serve the remainder of Engelberg's term. At the board's organiza­ tional meeting in July, Mike Patterson was elected presi­ dent; David Nemmers, vice­ president; Debra McCarty, secretary; and Bill Donohue, treasurer.

Smart financial moves for new parents If you’ve just had a new baby, your life is filled with more joy (but less sleep), You’re probably already aware of the time and effort you must invest in raising your child, but you may not M have thought as much about another aspect - the financial one. Consider this: The average cost of raising a child to age 17 is now $222,360, accord­ ing to a U.S. Department of Agriculture report on how much middle-income, twoparent families spend on their offspring. And this is the amount you might spend ■SJ before your son or daughter heads to college. Clearly, you need to start making the financial moves necessary to take your child from diapers to a degree. Here are some suggestions for doing just that: • Purchase sufficient life insurance. When it was just you and your spouse, it was a good idea for you to have life insurance, but now that you have a child, it's an absolute necessity. If you have any doubts about the value of life insurance, just look again at that $222,360 figure above, and then tack on the costs of four years of college. If you or your spouse were to die unexpectedly, would the sur­ vivor eam enough to raise and educate your child? In this day and age. that's not likely, so make sure you have adequate life insurance in place. • Prepare a will. Ob-viously, you hope to enjoy a long life - one in which you see your child grow to adulthood.

But even as youire meeting these expenses. think about your own future, particularly your retirement. Strive to strike a balance between the money you spend on your child and the amount you invest in your 401 (k), IRA and other retire­ ment-savings vehicles. You can’t put a price-tag on your child's future, but when it comes to taking care of that child, youill want to know the costs involved - and be pre­ pared for them.

Please consult *your tax or legal professional regarding your particular situation. In the Caledonia D&W Village Center <E* I you draw up a will to provide for the care of your child, both financially and physical­ M ly. When you create a will, you can name a guardian to step in and take care of your child, if necessary, and you can make sure your child receives your financial assets. However, many people go beyond writing a will and establish a living trust, which gives them more control over how and when they want their assets distributed. Your legal advisor can help you prepare a will and determine if a liv­ ing trust is appropriate for your needs. • Maintain adequate cash. To help pay for all those expenses related to child rear­ ing, keep enough cash on hand. By having enough resources available in liquid accounts, you can avoid hav­ ing to dip into your long-term investments to pay for short­ term needs. • Save early and often for college.

Snyder: Inauguration marks new era of innovation, reinvention by John Hend I er J-Ad Graphics News Service Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder in his inaugural address Saturday, Jan. I, called for a culture change in which cooperation, courage and innovation will lead the way to reinvented economy and enhanced quality of life in Michigan. Snyder, who graduated from Battle Creek Lakeview High School a semester early, made his remarks on the Capitol steps upon taking the oath of office to become Michigan's 48th governor. “It is time to stop fighting among ourselves,” Snyder said. “Il is time to solve our problems and create new opportunities.” Snyder's commitment to bipartisanship and public service was reflected in the inaugural ceremony, ceremony. in which local and state leaders of both political parties were invited to participate. Detroit Mayor Dave Bing emceed the event, and Grand Rapids Mayor George Heartwell delivered the invocation and closing prayer. Snyder was pleased to have the legisla­ tive majority and minority leaders share the stage, which was not the case in previous inaugurations, he said. Former governors Jennifer Granholm and John Engler also bndged the political gap by attending. “We need to put party and geography aside and come together as Michiganders to reinvent Michigan,” Snyder said, who lives in Ann Arbor and has a summer home in Barry County. Getting Michigan back on track will require sacrifice and a new mindset, the gov­ ernor cautioned. “It won't be simple or easy,” said the state’s 48th governor, who labeled him­ self as “One lough nerd” dur­ ing his campaign. “There is no magic solution to our problems. But with most of our problems, there also comes opportunities. It will require shared sacrifice from all of us. Many have already made sacrifices. Many of us need to join those who have already contributed.” Doing so will enable Michigan to achieve key goals, such as becoming a globally competitive leader •j Last day for Emmons Street library is Jan. 22 The last day to borrow a book from the 240 Emmons Si. Caledonia library will be Saturday, Jan. 22. The library will be closed Jan. 23 to 31 to allow staff to prepare for its move into the new branch near I he Caledonia Post Office.

Snyder pointed out the perils facing Michigan if its leaders continue to do busi­ ness as they have for the past decades “The old ways don't work, and it is time to start a new era,” he said. “This is our moment of opportunity to realize we have a bright future instead of a declining future.” Michigan already has many building blocks for success in place, according to Snyder. Its world-class universities, unmatched nat­ ural resources and the entre­ preneurial spirit of its people make Michigan unique. The inauguration show­ cased that theme by offering an abundance of food products grown or made in Michigan. The governor said he looks forward to hitting the ground running with Lt. Gov. Brian Calley, legisla­ tive leaders and stakeholders across the state. “I have been hired to rep­ resent all people of the stale of Michigan and move us all forward together,” Snyder said from the steps of the state Capitol. “We all want to live in a state of high expectations and results. We can only achieve extraordi­ nary things if we aspire beyond traditional thinking. The ‘old unbelievable' needs to become the ‘new achiev­ able.’ Let today be the birth of aa new chapter in Michigan's history. I ,cl today be the birth of the era of innovation and reinven­ tion.” Snyder earned three degrees from the University of Michigan, all by the age of 23. He obtained his bache­ lor's degree with high dis­ tinction in 1977, his master of business administration with distinction in 1979 and a juris doctorate in 1982. Following a successful career with Coopers & Lybrand (now PricewaterhouseCoopers), where he became a partner in six years. Snyder left his home stale of Michigan to help manage Gateway com­ puters. As the 763rd employee to join the Iowa company, he guided the growth of Gateway until it became a Fortune 500 company with over 10.000 employees. During these years of rapid growth. Snyder was promot­ ed to president and chief operating officer of the com­ pany. He ran the day-to-day operations of Gateway and worked directly with Ted Wain, the founder of the company. Snyder, 52, and his wife, Susan, are the parents of three children, Jeff, Melissa and Kelsey. Sand Bar and Grill brings island feel to Gun lake area < The Sand Bar and Grill is a new family run business in Yankee Springs. Pictured from left, in the back, are manager Brandi Campbell, her dad and owner Bruce Campbell. In the front are Kim Campbell, Hailey Campbell and Tyler James. (Photo by Patricia Johns) by Patricia Johns Staff Writer The Sand Bar and Grill is not deterred by wintry weather. It offers hot soups and cool beverages to area diners seven days a week. When Bruce Campbell was laid off from his graph­ ics design position with Herman Miller after almost 20 years, he and his wife Kim began thinking about what they wanted to do with the rest of their lives. “Owning a restaurant had been a dream of mine for many years,” Bruce said. There was one for sale, the former Carlos O'Kelly’s, just three miles from where he lives in Yankee Springs. He and his family worked to get it open Dec. 6. “We really appreciate the outpouring of support we have had from local residents since opening,” said Kim. Opening the new pub and grill has been exciting, she added. In addition to helping at the Sand Bar, she works at the Harold Zeigler Ford deal­ ership in Plainwell. Their daughter, Hailey, is a first grader at McFall Elementary School. While Bruce had not run a restaurant previously, he had some really good help in opening the Sand Bar. His daughter Brandi, a 2005 graduate of Thornapple Kellogg High School, worked in the hospitality industry. She is also the jun­ ior varsity girls basketball coach at Thornapple Kellogg High School. After high schoo.l she attended Western Michigan University, but continued to work in the hos­ pitality industry. She managed bars in Grand Rapids including one at the Amway Grand Plaza. “I really like teaching my dad what to do.” Brandi said. The Campbells moved to Yankee Springs in 1995. They have close ties to the area and really enjoy the Gun Lake lifestyle. “We chose the name Sand Bar and Grill because it is fun.” Kim said. “We hope people have as much fun here as they do when they are at the beach.” Each day, they make soup specials. “We have awesome burg­ ers as well,” Brandi said. They use some of their own special recipes and diners won't find some of the spe­ cials anywhere else. Brandi stresses that the prices are reasonable. They also have to go” lunches. We are thinking about ways celebrate to Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day,” she said. The Sand Bar and Grill is going to be part of the Winterfest celebration on Saturday, Feb. 19. They arc going to run a “barbecue sauce contest.” The Sand Bar will be roasting a pig•J and there will be barbecue sauce entries created by local cooks. Tasters will vote on the best sauce. The Sand Bar and Grill is also the tug of war sponsor. The Sand Bar is open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Thursday, from 11 a.m. to I a.m. on Friday and Saturday and from noon until 9 p.m. on Sunday. The kitchen closes at 9 p.m. each day.

William “Billy” Wilson III was a student in my college communications/public address class. I remember the speech he delivered on what it took to be a firefighter. At that time, Billy had been serving as a firefighter for the Caledonia fire and rescue department for seven years. Prior to that, he was a junior in firefighter Cascade Township for two years dur­ ing high school, and in fact, his senior project was on “What it means to be a fire­ fighter.” During his second presen­ tation to the class, Billy explained why it was so imperative that voters in Caledonia approved an upcoming millage. He point­ ed out that the township was growing as were the number of calls to the fire depart­ ment. The millage, he insist­ ed, would allow the township to hire more full-time fire­ fighters and add vitally need■21 PUBLISHER’S NOTICE: All real estate advertising in this news­ paper is subject to the Fair Housing Act and the Michigan Civil Rights Act which collectively make it illegal to advertise “any preference, limitation or discrimi­ nation based on race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, national origin, age or martial status, or an intention, to make any such preference, limitation or discrimination.” Familial status includes children under the age of 18 living with parents or legal custodians, pregnant women and people securing custody of children under 18.

What impressed me most about Billy was the servant’s attitude he displayed toward fellow classmates. All stu­ dents are required to deliver speeches. Since all cannot be made during one weekly class period, but rather requires two or three class sessions, I allow the students to place themselves in the numeric order they choose. By knowing the order, the students are more psycholog­ ically ready than if selected at random. On one occasion, the first five students scheduled to make their presentations did not show up. I asked if any students were prepared to step in. The policy in place is •It that if none of the students are ready, the entire class is marked down one grade. Billy offered to take the lead, even though he was sched­ uled to present in the third week. When I asked if he was truly ready, he said he was, though he felt it was not fully polished. Nonetheless, he was willing to perform and accept whatever grade he earned in order that the other students not be penal­ ized. I thanked him for tak­ ing leadership since he convinced two other students to make their presentations, as well. He not only did this once, but he did this a second time, as well, several weeks later. The entire class thanked him for saving their grades. Throughout the class, he exemplified what it means to be a team player. To prepare for their final exam, students generally pair off in twos to go over and complete the 32page study guide. In order to be able to - help everyone, Billy orchestrated a class study/pizza party for them to work on it together hosted at X ■» YANKEE SPRINGS TOWNSHIP BARRY COUNTY, MICHIGAN 284 N.

HALL his home. With his tight schedule, Billy could have been con­ cerned only for himself, dedicating far less time to his class than he did and still get an A. However, this is not his style. He seems more con­ cerned about the well-being of others than he is for him­ self and, therefore, was will­ ing to contribute additional time and effort to help serve his classmates. Because of the help Billy was able to give them, the younger stu­ dents looked to him as being their role model. Now we can add altruism to his list of attributes. I guess what amazes me is that our township board has taken a local, young “hero” and fired him. In doing so, they placed the community at risk by reducing the num­ ber of full-time firefighters when they knew that the department was already undermanned. With little or no consideration to the town­ ship residents, the township supervisor and board voted to let go of the man, second in command, who some think was the most dedicated firefighter we had. The questions, which then arise, are who and what is behind this injustice, behind this injustice. According to a Dec. 22. 2010, article in the Grand Rapids Press, Bryan Harrison, township supervi­ sor, is quoted saying, “The fact that he had legal issues was not the reason for his ter­ mination. The insubordina­ tion was the basis, and those issues remain, even with the charge in the case 'against him.” When I read the accu­ sation of insubordination, I was stunned. On a list of 1,000 words to describe Billy, the word “insubordi­ nate’* would not appear. In the 15 weeks of the semester, I was able to observe this young man and deduce his distinctively great character. Is it possible that those by whom he was employed did not recognize his unusually fine attributes and abilities? How could this be possible? Assuming they did, what then was the real reason for his dismissal? Perhaps the citizens of Caledonia need to form a group to do an inves­ tigation of their own.

Pair of victims of character assassination To the editor: I am most disturbed about the story wherein William Wilson and his son had been arrested for armed robbery. The sad thing about this mat­ ter is that nobody seems to be interested in conveying the true facts surrounding this case. If the facts were known, nobody would have been surprised to find that the case against the two of them had been dismissed, Then, too, if the public knew these two men personally. they would never have given credibility to the absurd accusations in the first place. When I first came in con­ tact with Bill Wilson years ago, he invited me to attend a service at the Whitneyville Bible Church. After a few visits, Bill invited me to attend a Sunday school class that he was teaching. Because of that class and the personal fellowship he showed me, I continued to return and later became a member. Bill Wilson is an honor­ able man and he brought up his son, Billy, to also be a man of integrity. Both of these men are quality human beings. Given the grave con­ sequences brought upon these two men as a result of the alleged arrests, it seems only right report »!• the truth of the matter. For as it now stands, two fine men are the victims of character assassi­ nation. Bob Moffat, Caledonia Take time to fill out Internet survey To the editor: I am writing to encourage residents of Thornapple, Irving, Yankee Springs, Carlton, and Woodland townships to make sure they send in the Internet surveys that were included in recent tax notices and other mail­ ings to residents. It is very important that the Internet task force hears from as many residents as possible who currently do not have access to broadband Internet service, but need or want it. The surveys need to be send to each resident’s r^sPective township office by the end of January. Results will be tallied and discussed when the Internet task force resumes meeting in February. Results will determine how the task force proceeds in the SERVING OUR COUNTRY endeavor of making broad­ band Internet service avail­ able throughout Barry County. I also want to encourage residents in the above town­ ships to log on to www.connectmi.org and take the sur­ vey there. This site maps the areas where broadband serv­ ice is and is not available and will help encourage the development of broadband service throughout Michi­ gan. Those who log on also can find out how fast their current service is. to Access broadband Internet service has become very important, even a neces­ sity, in this day and age; busi­ nesses rely on it, and students need access in order to be able to complete class assign­ ments. Those who work from home also need to have access to high-speed Internet. Companies such as AT&T, Comcast, Charter and others need to know that there is a demand for such service in small towns and rural areas, and the only way they will know is by our speaking up and saying we want and need this service. Turning in your surveys to your township offices is an important first step to get the ball rolling. The task force and town­ ship officials appreciate those who provide feedback on the survey. Hopefully, as a result, we can make some great strides in getting broad­ band access available to many more homes in Barry County in the coming year.

One of the coaches made the comment that even though he did not have the most completions between showcase athletes. Newton threw the "nicest balls." Another coach commented that "when Nick missed a receiver it was the prettiest miss he had ever seen.” He was ranked third among quarterbacks behind two kids with DI offers. He was selected to receive the Combine Leadership Award. National The Combine Underclassmen (NUC) got its start in 2005 when former University of Connecticut football player David Schuman founded it with one major goal - to give athletes maximum college recruiting exposure. The NUC’s inaugural sea­ son consisted of one New Jersey-based event with 144 participants. From there, the program became a national forum for high school foot­ ball players to showcase their skills. In 2009 alone, more than 9.000 athletes attended. The following year, the numbers doubled to 18,000. while 2010 saw upwards of 23,000 partici­ pants from all across North America. // TK wrestlers head to Hastings with a spotless 0-K Gold mark out a three-point victory over Wayland in O-K Gold with already had offers from schools like Duke and Tennessee. The day of the combine was full of excitement from the opening event to the final showcase which had best players competing against best players. It started for the young Trojan with running the 40. He posted the third fastest time for a quarterback with a 4.87. His broad jump and vertical jumps were respectable, but it seemed that he was out of the con­ tention to grab one of the top combine spots for quarter­ backs. The only thing left to do was for him to show his skill level at his position. Over the next two hours, coaches put the kids through numerous drills, route run­ ning, passing, defense, etc. Quarterbacks had to show their decision making abili­ ties as well as their desire to make plays, The combine is billed as a “non contact" camp; howev­ er anyone watching soon saw how aggressive top notch high school athletes can real­ ly be. At the end of all of this was the showcase. This is where coaches picked the best of the best to compete against each other. Newton's mom.

M-43 Highway, Hastings, Ml 49058 No. 3/January 15, 2011 Staff Writer At their Jan. 10 meeting, members of the Thornapple Township Board of Trustees approved the three-year con­ tract between the township and the TTES Professional Firefighters Union, Firefighters Association of Michigan. This is a threeyear contract from April 1, 2010 to March 31, 2013. There is no pay raise for the first year of the contract and a one percent raise for the second and third years of the contract. In other TTES business the board approved purchas­ ing a new Bowflex treadmill and Wii Fit exercise program to help keep the TTES per­ sonnel fit. Fire Chief Dave Middleton also reported that there were no major structure fires dur- ing the recently concluded holiday season. In 2010, TTES responded to 1,175 calls. Middleton said, “We did­ n't reach the 1,200 mark because we had less than 90 calls in November and December.” He also shared with the trustees the “bragging point" that TTES had six reversals during 2010. He explained reversals were people in cardiac arrest that were brought back at the scene and taken to the hospital. “Four walked out of the hospital,” said Middleton, “It is exciting for me to see someone lifeless on the floor and then see them at the quarterly meeting." The trustees approved having Sara Saba do training for the chief, the officers and the two full-time employees. This training will focus on communication and working with different people and learning styles. This training will be mandatory for the nine employees. Trustee Pat Harrison added that this training will focus on both strengths and weaknesses and how to build on the strengths and improve weak­ nesses. The board appointed Mike Bremer to the Thornapple Area Parks and Recreation Commission. They also con­ firmed the appointment of Tom Kilgore to the planning commission for a three-year term. The next meeting of the Thornapple Township Board is set for 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 14.

Parker told the council that it was a “good commission" and that he likes the committee of the whole system, which seems to be working well. The council approved an ordinance which disallows medical marijuana dispen­ ies within the village as saries approved by a 4-3 vote by the village planning commis­ sion at its Jan. 4 meeting. The council also approved expanding the time residents have to clear snow from their sidewalks from 12 hours after the end of a snowfall to 24 hours.

Lovey’s Snack Shack, in Middleville, she was responding to requests from community residents. “Lovey’s is ‘Grand Central Station.’ where peo­ ple ask where to find babysitters, mechanics and more.” she said. “We arc the connection to the communi­ ty” » ;ut she doesn’t stop at helping people find services. “If you haven’t used an item in a year, end stress, reduce clutter and consider others who go without and are in need.” she said. “People have needs, and Lovey’s tries to connect those with needs with those who have items that are needed.” This is a good time for those who received newer items for Christmas to pass along their older items, she suggested. Among the items needed al nearby Lincoln Meadows senior housing are housewares such as silver­ ware. serving platters and serving spoons. Right now. the sign lists the need for books to go to “seasoned” citizens, includ­ ing the residents of the Lincoln Meadows. already “We have received more than 100 1 ks ” said Huisman. “The books can be from children’s to adult fiction and nonfic­ tion titles. The goal is to pass along the books we are col­ lecting to Lincoln Meadows. Then the residents there will pass on the books they have read to Carveth Village. Then Carveth 1 Village will pass on the books they read to Thornapple Manor in Hastings.” She explains that Lovey’s receives its largest donations when people move. As far as the greatest needs, she said Lovey’s gets those following tragedies such as fires or accidents. As a perk for donors. Lovey's provides a free fountain pop to those who stop by with a donation. • 4 Irving Township trustees invited to attend icy water training by Patricia Johns Staff Writer BIRCH Fire Chief Roger Caris has invited the Irving Township trustees to attend an icy water training at 8:30 a m.

And then, to make things even more complex, you'll have to consider your own risk tolerance, time hori­ zon and individual goals. If you're like most people, you don't have the time and expertise to create, monitor and adjust your investment strategy by yourself, so you'll need to get some help. But how can you choose a finan­ cial professional who is right for you? You'll need to do some research, possibly by inter­ viewing a few candidates. Here are a few questions you may want to ask: • Do you have experience working with people like me? Ideally, you’d like to work with someone who has experience in helping people like you - that is, people with similar income and asset levels, family situations, goals and so on. The more familiar a financial professional is with people like you, the better that person will be at helpjng yOll identify the appropriate investment moves. • Do you have a particular investment philosophy? Look for someone with a thought­ fuj? reasoned philosophy on investing. As a general rule, be suspicious of anyone promising you big, quick gains. The best financial pro­ fessionals seek to help their clients achieve positive long­ term results through disci­ plined, persistent and sensible investment moves. • How often will you com­ municate with me? If you're going to entrust your hardearned financial resources with someone, you'll want that person to communicate with you regularly as to how you're doing and what changes you may need to make. How often will you receive investment state­ ments? How many times a year will you meet to review your progress? Can you have face-to-face consultations whenever you need them? These are the types of ques­ tions you'll want to ask any prospective financial advisor. • Will you be my primary contact? If you seek a one-onone relationship with a finan­ cial professional, you'll want that person to be your main contact, if not your exclusive one. You deserve the atten­ tion and expertise of a finan­ cial professional, so if you're interviewing someone who seems as if he or she might try to ‘pass you along' to sub­ ordinates in the office, keep looking. • What services do you offer? If you want your finan­ cial professional to help you create a unified investment strategy, you'll also want that person to help you implement it - which means he or she needs access to a full range of investment and money man­ agement products and servic­ es. • How are you paid? Financial professionals are compensated in any of a num­ ber of ways. - They may work on a fee-only basis, with the fee either agreed upon in advance or based on the level of assets under man­ agement. And some financial professionals work in a com­ bined fee-and-commission From arrangement. an investor's point of view, one method of compensation may not be ‘better' than the others; nonetheless, it's important for you to fully understand how your financial advisor will be paid, By doing your homework in advance, you can develop a solid relationship with a qual­ ified financial professional someone who will be with you far into the future.

It is not unusual for grievers to feel over­ whelmed by thoughts and feelings that seem strange. They may not feel like them­ selves and wonder when things will “get back to nor­ mal.” Not everyone understands or is comfortable with those who are grieving, so support can be very limited. Grief Recovery is a fivesession series designed to help residents learn more about what to expect of the grief experience and how they can help themselves, or a loved one through it. Sessions combine educa­ tion about the process of grief with the opportunity to dis­ cuss experiences in a confi­ dential environment. The next series will be on Tuesday evenings from 5:15 to 6:45, Jan. 18 through Feb. 15 and is open to anyone in the community who has suf­ fered a loss through death. There is no cost to attend. Registration for this series is open until 5 p.m. Jan. 17. All sessions are held at barry Community Hospice, 450 Meadow Run Drive, Suite 200, Hastings. Call (269) 948-8452 to register.

He said the group would like to expand the horse cor­ ral and trail ride. Preliminary plans call for adding a small herd of cattle and using trained riders to demonstrate cutting, which is the act of separating one cow from oth­ ers in the herd. Muller said another attraction would be a Texas Longhorn bull. He described the bull as the “best bull in the country” and pointed out that the ani­ mal has a local connections since it is from Hastings. Expanding the corral area would require plowing up the lawn by the public works building. He assured council members that the area would be reseeded. No action was taken on his request. The council is exploring options for recording its meetings. The cameras used to record meetings were the property of the township and were removed for reinstallation in the new township offices. Village President Glenn Gilbert said Arlen Smith, president of Central Interconnect Inc., would demonstrate some equip­ ment he thought would meet the needs of the village. Smith said the equipment would allow meetings to be transmitted directly to the village website, and people could access meetings from their home computers. Gilbert added that no deci­ sions have been made but that $4,800 has been set aside for new equipment. Smith estimated that the equipment plus new micro­ phones would cost about $3,600. Sandy Ayers, village clerk and manager, said some mer­ chants on the north side of Main Street were not shovel­ ing their walks, and she reminded them that clearing the walks is their responsibil­ ity. She also said that odd/even parking begins at 12 a.m., and she urged resi­ dents to park appropriately to facilitate plowing the streets. Treasurer Jill Harrison reported that the capital improvement committee had; met and had discussed options for the village offices and equipment needs. No decisions were made. In formal action, council approved a resolution repeal­ ing the existing ordinance governing liquor sales on Sundays; the ordinance; was rendered ineffective by the recent passage of a law requiring communities to abide by a uniform law or to ban all sales of alcoholic beverages in any form on Sundays. The council also approved the calendar for meetings of the council, the planning commission, and the zoning board of appeals. The coun­ cil will continue to meet at 7 p.m. on the second Monday of the month at the village hall, 250 Maple St. The plan­ ning commission will con­ tinue to meet at 7 p.m. on the fourth Thursday of each month at the village hall or as otherwise noticed before the regular date. The zoning board of appeals will meet as needed at the village hall; property owners within 300 feet of the property involved will be notified by mail. A resolution approving appointments by Gilbert to the nine committees that per­ form various functions within the village passed unanimously. The committees are the following: • Trees — Beth Sleutel, Hah n Karen Hahn and Lisa Segard. 1• Street ------- administration — Dan Erskine, • Sidewalks — Todd Grinage and Erskine. • Joint sewer — Gilbert, Erskine and Rich Pierson. • Human resources and finance — Gilbert, Regan, Gary Scholl and Ayers. • Mayor Exchange — Regan, Gilbert and Ayers. • Independence Day — co-chairs Bryan Harrison and Jim Blehm, Tim Overholt, and Hahn. • Caledonia Cable Hahn • Capital improvement — Erskine, Jill Harrison, Ayers and Gilbert. The same resolution also contained appointments of liaisons to the following: • Kent County Sheriffs Department — Overholt. • Caledonia Township — Scholl. • Community newsletter — Segard and Ayers. • Caledonia schools — Scholl. • Community activities — Grinage. Other appointments made by Gilbert include Regan as vice-president of the council. Ayers as village health offi­ cer, the firm of Flies and VandenBrink as village engineers, the firm of Mika, Meyers, Beckett and Jones as village attorneys, and Imperial Municipal Services as code and building inspec­ tors. Erskine was appointed to represent the village farm; Ayers was appointed as the Community Development Block Grant administrator, and Grinage to the Caledonia Township Public Safety Advisory Committee. During the final public comment period, Garret Smith, of Boy Scout Troop 202, reported on his Eagle Scout project, an informational kiosk about the Paul Henry-Thomapple Trail. The kiosk has been completed and contains information.

The status of the old library building is a concern to him. said Erskine, since groups interested in historic preservation did not become active in time to preserve the old high school building. He said the township and the vil­ lage had bought the building from the church for $30,000. At some point, he said, the village © decided to turn its share over to the township. Harrison said that any dis­ cussion of its uses as a historic building would have to be discussed with the township. Overholt commented that he had observed traffic cam­ eras being installed at the intersection of 84th Street and M-37. He said he was interested and wanted to be informed about any requests to install them in the village. Hahn urged residents to keep their sidewalks clean and to be mindful of children and sledding.

Erskine noted that the troop had participated in the clean-up of the area around the bridge over the creek in the back of the Caledonia Centre. He suggested that Smith also approach the township board. His motion to approve the expenditure of $150 from the parks and recreation fund for the proj­ ect was approved unanimously. During the final council comment period, Erskine raised two topics: the possibility of a community garden similar to the one supported by the Village of Middleville this past year and the status of the old Caledonia Public Library building now that the new library is scheduled to open Feb. 1. Council members raised the question of a site for a 40-acre community garden; while he thought there was sufficient acreage on the village farm where the wastewater treatment plant is located, he said he would prefer to choose a site only after making a determination of interest in a garden.

What still amazes me is that the town­ ship board of trustees has not offered Wilson his job back. After the letters to the editor of the Sun and News and phone calls to the Caledonia Township offices, it is amaz­ ing that the board chooses to ignore the people they repre­ sent. I have never been interest­ ed in local government until now. The recent issue involv­ ing William Wilson and the Caledonia township supervi­ sor and board of trustees has ignited my interest. After reading last week's Sun and News 1 have concluded that what has happened doesn't make sense to me or to others I have talked with. Caledonia Township Supervisor Bryan Harrison was quoted as say­ ing, “The fact that he had legal issues was not the rea­ son for his termination. The insubordination was the basis, and those issues remain, even with the change in the case against him.” The last day Wilson worked was the day before his arrest. If he had issues other than his legal one, why was he working up until the day of his arrest? 1 don't buy it. So, are we to understand that for eight years this man was a model firefighter and then all of sudden one day he became insubordinate and needed to be fired even though it wasn’t about legal issues that have been dropped? f * p ► , /I > 4 A •— I I 1 r I'n'’ * 4,/Ch IG , 7J VILLAGE OF MIDDLEVILLE f NOTICE OF ORDINANCE ADOPTION Please be advised the Middleville Village Council on Tuesday, January 11, 2011 did adopt Ordinance #2060.

I^1 Staff Writer A joyous memorial serv­ ice for Orangeville resident Juliet May “Julie” Bourdo is being planned at the church she has attended and sup­ ported for more than 60 years. Bourdo, 81, died Monday, Jan. 10, at Borgess Hospital in Kalamazoo. Not only was she active at St. Francis of Assisi Church Episcopal in Orangeville, Bourdo was the first woman to serve on the •Delton Kellogg Board of Education. She was appoint­ ed to the board in February of 1967, and then went on to serve on the board for many years. She was a naturalized citi­ zen. A native of Exning, England, she came to Michigan after World War II and married Raymond Earl Bourdo. Linda (Liceaga) Boyce said the Liceaga and Bourdo families grew up together and that the mothers were very close. “Julie was an incredibly loving person who made us feel special,” said Boyce. Boyce said she and her eight siblings had a special relationship with Julie and carry many wonderful mem­ ories. “She was always there for the good times and the bad times,” said Boyce. “One of those bad times was when our mother, Lupe, went to be with the Lord in 1994. Julie filled that empty void in our hearts. “It was comforting to know we had that special bond with her and her won­ derful family,” added Boyce. “We appreciate all the love and support she showed our family throughout the years. She will be greatly missed by all of us.” All of the Liceaga children will be attending Saturday's memorial service. of Mark Paradowski Orangeville worked with Bourdo in recent years. “Julie Bourdo was never selfish,” he said. “She was constantly looking out for others. From her time on the school board through her extensive efforts helping with our township food pantry and Soup's On pro­ gram, she wanted to make sure our kids got the best education and that no one went hungry in our township. “The world had Mother Theresa. In Orangeville, we had Julie Bourdo.” Mark Paradowski “The world had Mother Theresa. In Orangeville, we had Julie Bourdo,” he said. A founding member, Julie was very active in the life of St. Francis parish; she served on the vestry and was senior warden. She also taught Sunday school and, before seatbelt laws went into effect, she would often pick up a carload of children to take to church. She directed a youth group there and made sure community service goals were met by the individual teens. Later, she organized a quilt club, which, every year would sew and donate quilts to children bom with AIDS in the Battle Creek area. Julie was part of the 60th anniversary celebra­ tion of the church in 2009, as well. Mother Barbara Wilson, who is the rector of the church, will be celebrating Julie's life Saturday begin­ ning at 11 a.m. at the church. 11850 W. Nine Mile Road, Wilson referred to Julie as a prayer warrior.” “I remember once, before I was on contract with St. Francis, having a conversation with Julie by telephone. And in the course of it, she asked how I was doing, and 1 forget what the problem was, but I shared it with her,” recalled Wilson. “She sur­ prised me by saying we should pray about this, and then she launched into a prayer by telephone for me. I was very touched. “Also, she ran the Orangeville Food Pantry and ll • * night we received one of those telephone calls that every parent fears. At 6:20 p.m. as I was get­ ting ready to go out to night assignments, the telephone rang. When I answered, Elena said, “Mom, I'm okay, but you should sit down.” I sat. Elena told me that about a half hour earlier she had been robbed at gunpoint near her school in Savannah, Ga. She was calling from a police station. She had been walking back to her dorm with two friends on a main street near college buildings. Her hand­ bag, holding $1.25 in cash, wallet with identification, drivers license and her dorm room key had been taken. She was working with a police detective and repeat­ edly said, “I'm okay, don't worry.” She was going to stay the night with a friend. But, of course, being a mom, I was worried. We can always imagine the worst possible outcomes. She called at 12:15 a.m. Friday morning to let us know that her handbag had been found and just the $ 1.25 in cash was gone. She will continue to work with detec­ tives, since they believe that some of the surveillance cameras on college buildings may have caught the robbery in action. While the outcome of this incident is good — Elena and her friends were not hurt and most of her belongings will be returned — it shows that violence is still too much a part of our culture. The Savannah detective told Elena he thinks the rob­ ber is new and inexperienced and didn't realize what he was doing. But, he had a gun. on a major street in a major city just after sunset. I left my apartment in New York City and moved to Ohio many years ago because of repeated rob­ beries. Even when all that was left in my one-room apartment were the towels in the bathroom, the bed and food in the refrigerator, I would come home to find catsup on the sheets and everything from the refriger­ ator on the floor. We need to begin talking about how to end violence in our society, whether it is the violence of a single individ­ ual whose motives we do not know who kills six and wounds 13, or a young rob­ ber looking for easy cash, or someone beatine beating their spouse or Little Lambs Cooperative Preschool 7248 68th St., Caledonia, MI 49316 ©PEN HOUSE February 1st • 5:00-7:00 pm Bring this ad to the Open House for a free gift.

Catholic Central was able to hang on for a 43-39 O-K Gold Conference win in Caledonia. The Fighting Scots outscored the Cougars 25-15 in the second half, after going into half-time down 28-14. Catholic Central could have put the Scots away at the foul-line, but connected on just six of 19 attempts in the second half, and were just nine of 25 for the entire game. The Scots weren't much better, going ten of 20 at the line for the night. Shellis Hampton and Tiesha Stokes combined for 35 of the Cougars' 43 points. Hampton drilled four threepointers, and finished with a L game-high 21 points. Stokes g had 14 points and nine rebounds.

Once the match got going Goggins had another reason to want to win big - to avoid the catcalls from Trojan fans after another match between the two rivals which had its controversial moments. Both teams are now 2-1, behind 3-0 Caledonia, in the O-K Gold Conference after a 41-21 win by the Saxons in Hastings Wednesday. There were a number of tightly contested matches. and a couple of matches the Trojans were winning big that didn't net them the points they'd expected. The Saxons led 10-4 three matches into the contest. At 119 pounds, TK’s Van Thang was dominating Hastings’ Ethan Haywood. The bout was stopped for blood time with Thang hold­ ing Haywood on his back two different times. The offi­ cial then stopped the match a third time, this time for good, when Haywmu _ J’ s nose plug came flying out with him on his back. It gave Thang a 171 technical fall, rather than the chance to keep going for nt the six-point pin. There was more contro­ versy when TK’s Oscar Cardosa was called for an illegal slam in the second period of the 145-pound match, which he was win­ ning 5-2 over the Saxons’ * 5?

Huisman didn't continue, and the Saxons got six team points because he had to default due to injury. It gave the Saxons a 31 -12 lead with five match­ es to go. €4 I was glad the slam didn't play into the score,” Goggins said. “The margin of the win was bigger than the differ­ ence that would have made, This is the second concus­ sion for Chase Huisman this year. Once you have one its so much easier to get that second one.” TK head coach Aaron Tabor was happy with the way his boys wrestled. “Our kids wrestled hard. That’s all we need. We’re young.” Tabor said, The only seniors wrestling for the Trojans in the dual were Thang and Joe Pawloski. Pawloski scored a 6-2 decision over the Saxons' Collin Ferguson at 152 pounds. “Ferguson is ranked fifth in the state. Well, not any­ more,” Tabor said. “That wasn’t lucky. That was just beating him.

Opening day for the CalPlex Athletic Fields is set for Saturday, May 7. The facility is the result of a col­ laborative project among the Caledonia township, 1 •It. Community Schools and the Caledonia Youth Sports Association, a private, non­ profit corporation. 2007 school bond extension. Phase II will occupy the next four years. In the plan­ ning are four additional ball diamonds, five regulation­ size soccer fields, and one full-size baseball field. A second concessions and rest­ room building is included, along with additional paved parking. A playground, skate park, outdoor basketball court, storage facilities and the acquisition of an addi­ tional 10 acres are also part of Phase II. Kimes said that a capital campaign to raise $1.5 mil­ lion will begin with the open­ ing of the complex this spring. The timeline calls for raising funds from 2011 to Roger Kimes, president of the sports association, pre­ sented an update on the status of the complex. He noted that the facility, which began as a dream six years ago, IS now becoming a reality. The project is divided into three phases. Phase I is now com­ plete, he said. Four Little League 1baseball/softball _____ fields; three soccer/football/ lacrosse fields; concession/restroom building, a three-quarter mile fitness and nature trail; paved parking lot, and internal roads are now complete. All facilities are handicap accessible.

Kimes said he expects fundraising efforts to begin shortly as possible major donors to the campaign are identified and approached. Additional information on giving opportunities is avail­ able at www.cal-plex.org. Before Wilson began his Caledonia presentation, Township Supervisor Bryan Harrison said he felt some explanation was in order. He noted that the firing of Wilson by the board during its Dec. 15, 2010, meeting was not an action of Fire Chief Brian Bennett, but of the board with the recom­ mendation of the chief. He said Wilson knew of the Dec. 15 board meeting but chose not to appear. Harrison closed his remarks saying that Wilson was not being heard by the board as an appeal of its decision. Wilson said he had been a firefighter in Caledonia for eight years, three of them as a full-time employee, and had risen to the rank of lieu­ tenant. He said he was accused of insubordination and other actions; he said he had not been told what the other actions were. Wilson said his firing was unjusti­ fied and unfair. He was followed bv his attorney, Rhett Pinsky. who urued the board to take seriously the provisions in the fire department’s bylaws; he noted procedural issues since a written disciplinary' state­ ment had not been provided to Wilson nor a statement of which rule had been violat­ ed. In his view, the depart­ ment had an alternative to termination. “What the township has is executed done in effect him,’’ Pinsky said., He concluded that Wilson may have a claim for breach of contract.

Elementary teachers concentrate on literacy during the in-service. by Patricia Johns Staff Writer From discussing the com­ mon core state standards, exploring literacy and even looking_ into the appropriate . technology for kindergarten from teachers students, Community Caledonia Schools became students during an in-service day Monday, Jan. 17. The common core state standards (CCSS) is an ini­ tiative led by the National Governors Association. The process of developing the standards included educators from multiple states, as well as an opportunity for feed­ back from the public. Common core for middle school grades was presented by Randy Rodriguez, Daryl Bronkema, Tonya Heaton and Ryan Graham. This ses- sion was an introduction to the standards and the impact they will have on the district. These standards were also discussed by elementary and high school teachers. Meetings were held at both the high school and Duncan Lake Middle School. At the middle school in-serv­ ice, one of the presentations was on troubleshooting tech­ nical problems with class­ room Acer computers.

Julie Nixon demonstrated the role of curriculum based measurement in a response to intervention model. Judy Hocbekc and kinder­ garten teachers worked together to develop a pilot for the purchase of technolo­ gy for classrooms. At the high school, a meet­ ing on autism for all staff was offered in the morning by school social worker Scott Bont and director of special education Lyncllc Dodge.

The board of trustees, the planning commission and the zoning board of appeals met to review 2010 and to discuss goals and issues for 2011. Also present to pro­ vide input were township attorney John Lohrstorfer and planner Gregory Milliken. Most of the meeting focused on the activities of the planning commission. Michael Cunningham, a new appointee to the commission, replacing the retired Bruce Cook, was sworn in by clerk Janice Lippert. Also sworn in was Frank Fiala, chair of the commission, who was reappointed by Township Supervisor Al McCrumb to another three-year term. Fiala began the discus­ sion, noting the accomplish­ ments of the commission in 2010. These included completion of work on the Chief Noonday Corridor, the cre­ ation of the Gun Lake Residential Lakefront Zoning District (a collaborative work with Orangeville, Wayland and Martin town­ ships), drafting of the first capital improvement plan, revision of the 10-year-old gravel mining ordinance, and an exploration of the possi­ bility of creating a central­ ized area for outdoor season­ al markets. He said commis­ sioners have continued to engage in ongoing education activities related to planning, Citing Citing objectives objectives and and mismissions for 2011, Fiala said the gravel mining ordinance is ready to go to a public hear­ ing, and an administrative procedure for charitable businesses is being readied. Waiting to be taken up are standards for seasonal and portable businesses, particu­ larly those located in the Chief Noonday Corridor, the issues posed by the new style boat-lift canopies, a revision of the sign ordinance, and the exploration of regulatory * 6.

Lohrstorfer said several lawsuits were currently in the courts over moratoriums on medical marijuana dis­ pensaries and as a home occupation. He recommend­ ed that the township not move hastily to declare a moratorium, saying, The creation of a moratorium implies future action within a defined time period." He said it appears the federal government is not going to expend major resources on federal enforcement. McCrumb asked, “Can the township say where those businesses are located?" Lohrstorfer said they can. Treasurer John Jerkatis commented that federal and state authorities appear to be shifting the burden of enforcement to townships. Lohrstorfer agreed and noted that 45,000 certified patient cards registration have already been issued by the state. He also pointed out that the act requires medical mar­ ijuana to be grown indoors in a locked facility and that courts have upheld the legal­ ity of the act. Janice Lippert moved on to raise two questions about the gravel mining ordinance and portable businesses. Fiala said the gravel mining ordinance would be ready for a public hearing within 60 days, and the portable businesses, he thought, would be fairly straightforward since there are few of them. McCrumb added that the pri­ mary issues would be safety and parking. The impact of the Gun Lake Casino open:ing also was raised, and McCrumb agreed that M179 was the busiest road in the township. Trustee Mary Cook asked that the intent was in review­ ing the sign ordinance and how grandfathering can be eliminated. She said she is particularly concerned about the northeast corner of Patterson Road and M-179, the westernmost termination point of the Chief Noonday Corridor. Lohrstorfer replied that grandfathering was valid only as long as the business existed: he added that a pro vision could require removal of the sign when the business no longer exists or is changed significantly from the original. Fiala said the commission had considered the possibility of a grant for a sign that would identify the businesson the corner. es Gregory Commissioner Purcell said tax dollars could not be used for such a pur­ pose. He added that a bonus allowing a slightly larger sign in return for agreement to erect a better sign to replace the existing signs would be permissible. A brief discussion of the boat lift issues followed. Jerkatis said, “Shore sta­ tions are portable and sea­ sonal; boat houses are not. I want to proceed cautiously." His remark refers to the of purchasing was $54,368.

I Are we impinging too much on property rights? Are we not doing enough?" McCrumb said he has not heard any complaints from board members. 8 JI 9 Cook said the public will step forward if they do not like what the commission is doing. The commission is responding to needs as they arise; she thought the com­ mission was fine. Al Schwennesen, trustee and board liaison to the com­ mission, said he liked what 'PiMtoted (kf, the commission was doing. The wind turbine ordinance will have to be picked up again.

(Figures from Silo Gardens by Pat Theiry (Yonkers) the township's audit indicate Hastings Farmers Market Polar Seal Window Corp. that the cost of planning functions to the township would like to see cooperation. Our citizens are grateful e for it.” His remarks refer to the two roll-off containers used per week in the township; the containers are located in the parking lot at the township hall and are used not only by Yankee Springs residents but by residents of other commu­ nities. The issue of cost has become significant for the board; in 2010, the township paid Allied Waste Inc. over $22,000 for recycling. Beukema asked if there is any possibility of going for a vote. His question refers to putting a levy for recycling on tax bills, which would also have to be done through the county. Another alternative is con­ tracting with a specific com­ pany for recycling; the catch is that no company will do the recycling unless trash hauling also is linked to it. A third consideration is that 1 1 such a contract would be throughout the township. A major concern for some members of the board is the creation of a monopoly; other contractors would be frozen out and citizens would be forced to deal with the township's contractor, thus depriving citizens of the right to choose their own contractors. Fiala noted that the county has instructed the Barry County Solid Waste Oversight Committee to come up with a plan; the committee has retained a consultant to devise a plan. McCrumb thanked all who attended the meeting for their presence and participa­ tion. Reports from the com­ mission and the ZBA will be available shortly at the town­ ship hall following accept­ ance by the board of trustees.

He went on to say that fire department employees occupy a position of trust, that trust comes with authori­ ty. He also said more ques­ tions were raised than answered and the board found itself getting information from the media, not from Wilson. He said there were two lawyers in the room, that Wilson did not bring legal counsel with him. He was advised of his rights under Garrity and continued to refuse to answer and did not appear at the Dec. 15 board meeting. According to a majority opinion of the United States Supreme Court in 1967 in Garrity v. State of New Jersey, when a public employee is the subject of a criminal investigation and has to choose between mak­ ing a statement that will incriminate the employee or being fired for refusing to answer the question, an unconstitutional state of duress is created. Therefore, a limited immunity is grant­ ed, whereby any incriminat­ ing statement cannot be used by the prosecution and is purged; refusal to answer the question after being offered the Garrity principle is insubordination and grounds for discharge. In other words, if a person takes advantage of Garrity, he or she cannot be prosecut­ ed on the basis of the infor­ mation provided in that state­ ment. Refusal to take advan­ tage of Garrity is an act of insubordination and prima facie grounds for termina- •r; ST7-, e. i.

A motion to contribute $250 to the project was approved unanimously. An unidentified member of the audience rose to ask who would pay for the relo­ cation of township water line that was located in Cascade Township. He was assured by Robertson that following an engineering convention in place at the time the line was laid, water lines were laid on one side of a street and sewer lines on the opposite side. Noting that this installation predated both his time on the board and that of Harrison, he said he was sure that any problem could be worked out, should it become neces­ sary to move the line. He noted that such costs would not fall on the taxpayers but on the users of the system.

Karcher was joined by (front from left) TK varsi­ ty baseball coach Tim Penfield, his parents Bill and Teri Karcher, TK varsity football coach Chad Ruger, (back) Siena Heights baseball coaches Adam Kiersey and John Kolasinski and Siena Heights linebacker coach Matt Kohn. (Photo by Brett Bremer) by Brett Bremer Sports Editor “Just remember, all of you have to buy tickets to the first home football game.” Those were the words of John Kolasinski to a crowd of classmates of Thomapple Kellogg senior Tyler Karcher in the Thornapple Kellogg High School library Wednesday. The thing is, Kolasinski is the Siena Heights University Men's Baseball team. Karcher signed his National Letter of Intent to join the Siena Heights foot­ ball and baseball programs after high school graduation. Karcher started out look­ ing for a college where he could play baseball, but after a very successful senior foot­ ball season he said he could­ n't not play football any­ more. He’ll be busy, adding in academics. He said he plans on studying towards a degree in sports manage­ ment. “I'll deal with it,” Karcher said of managing his time. “I know its going to be hard, but I'm willing to deal with the work. I've been able to do it throughout high school.” Tim Penfield coached Karcher both as the Thomapple Kellogg varsity baseball coach and as a var­ sity football assistant, and called him a “quiet leader”. On the baseball diamond. Penfield said that one of Karcher’s biggest strength is his versatility - the ability to play firs base, second base, or even catch. “When they watch tape from a linebacker's perspec­ tive, they see a guy making a lot of plays for us this year. His ability to blitz and make plays was big for our team.” Penfield said. The 2011 season will be the first ever for the Siena Heights football program. Karcher is excited about the opportunity to play right away on a team that will be comprised of roughly 95 percent freshmen. “It's going to be awesome," Karcher said, “because they're buildin from freshmen up, so we'll Jt all have the chance to be out there. You're not going to have All-Americans there ahead of you. Basically everyone is equal.” Siena Heights linebacker coach Matt said that the pro­ gram is trying to build around players with good character, integrity, person­ ality as well as good football skills. Kohn and the Siena Heights coaches like all of those things in Karcher. “When I first saw the film, it was obvious he's a schol­ arship-athlete type of player, a difference maker." Kohn said. Karcher earned all-confer­ ence honors as a senior this fall in football, leading the Trojans with 97 tackles.

They have smoothly made changes in the 2010-11 school year. “I am really impressed with our staff,” he said. Rider, who is nearing the end of his fourth year as superintendent of the district, said he is looking into ways to continue to improve the district. He hopes to begin a strategic planning process for the district by the end of this school year. The vision for the future is clouded by changes in fund­ ing from the state which will impact education. “It is hard to define a vision for the district until we get more information from the state,” he said. Rider added that he is waiting to see the impact new 1Gov. Rick Snyder will have on education in the state. “Significant changes may be coming and the state budget is an uncertainty,” he said, adding that he believes the timing is right for strate­ gic planning to begin. “It is hard to define a vision for the district until we get more information from the state.” Gary Rider, TK Superintendent He said he wants to have all the stakeholders — par­ ents, students, staff, home­ owners and business owners — involved in the process. Information on the strategic planning process will be available by the end of this school year. Construction at the high school was completed at the beginning of this school year. “I have a lot of respect for the students and staff,” he said. “They put up with the inconveniences during construction. It was worth the wait. We now have a great learning environment for students. Many people have been pleasantly surprised at the improvement in the learning environment at the high school.” The district will be advertising4 for new principals for Lee and Page elementary schools this spring. Rider praised • the transition this year by part-time principals Judi Scholten at Lee and Tom Enslen at Page. 46 They, with the help of Assistant Principal Eric Proseus, are doing incredible jobs at these schools. It is not ideal but all [of them] stepped up to be successful for students,” Rider said. As Rider looks to the future in the district he said he anticipates that all staff, students and parents will continue to work together to provide the best education possible.

Given the economic climate we ire in, you may one day be faced with a downsizing or otherwise forced to retire earlier than you had planned. But even if that happens, you can still maintain control of your financial future - if you make the right moves. Unfortunately, many of us are ill prepared for events such as forced early retirement. In 2009, more people filed for Social Security than any year in history, with a big increase in the number receiving reduced benefits because they filed before their full retirement age. And they paid a heavy price, too 6 62-year-old workers who filed for benefits early lost about 25 percent of their monthly benefits over waiting until their ‘full’ retirement age of 66, according to Social the Security Administration. Of course, if you are forced to take an early retirement, you, too, may need to tap into your Social Security earlier than you planned. But that's just the beginning - you might also need to start with­ drawals from your IRA and your 401(k) or other employ­ er-sponsored retirement plan, even though you had planned on leaving those accounts intact for a few more years. And that’s why you won't want to wait until early retire­ ment is thrust upon you before taking action. While you're still working, consider these steps: Boost your contributions to retirement plans. Put as much as you can possibly afford into your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored plan. Every time your salary goes up, try to increase the amount you contribute to your retire­ ment plan. Also, contribute regularly to your traditional you were forced to retire from one job, it doesn't mean you couldn't find another. This might be the perfect time to take a part-time job in an area in which you've always want­ ed to work. • Get some help. By con­ sulting with a professional financial advisor, you may find that you actually can afford to retire early. A finan­ cial advisor can help you develop those income and spending strategies that are appropriate for your situation. And the earlier you get this type of help, the more options you ultimately may have. You may not be able to avert an unwanted, early retirement, but by preparing for it, as far in advance as possible, you can improve your chances of maintaining lifestyle the retirement you've envisioned.

If you're fac­ ing a forced early retirement, or even if you think it's a pos­ sibility, you may want to rebalance your portfolio to provide more opportunities for income. Talk to your advisor financial about income strategies appropriate for your particular situation. Build up cash accounts. Even during ‘normal’ times, it's a good idea to keep an emergency fund, in cash or other liquid vehicles, contain­ ing six to 12 months' worth of living expenses. If you sus­ pect a forced early retirement is heading your way, try to beef up your cash holdings as much as possible. • Repay any 401(k) loans.

The Thomapple Kellogg varsity girls’ basketball team fell 58-31 in non-conference action at Hamilton Friday night as the Hawkeyes' Ashley Overbeek poured in 25 points. The Hawkeyes led by just three points at the half, then exploded for a 24-8 run in the third quarter. Behind Overbeek for the Hawkeyes in the scoring column, Kelly Ptacek fin­ ished with eight points and Jackie Devereaux seven. TK got eight points each from Shelby Tedrow and Alyssa Weesie, and five apiece from McKenzie Webster and Erin Ellinger. TK head coach Jessee Bays knew Friday's contest with Hamilton would be a tough one. “I told them in the locker room (Tuesday), Tomorrow have your game faces on. We'll be back to the grind, First off, we run," he said after his team's 60-15 victory at Kelloggsville. It was the Trojan's second victory of the season after topping Forest Hills Eastern the previous Friday. "It’s nice to win two in a row, but it'd be awfully nice to win three," Bays said. There were times that the Trojans tried for too much of a good thing Tuesday, but still handled overmatched Kelloggsville. The Trojans scored 1 1 of their 17 first half points by getting the ball into the post, and either Thornapple Kellogg’s Kiley Buursma pushes the ball scoring there or at the foul up court during the first half of the Trojans’ non-confer­ ence victory at Kelloggsville Tuesday.

Weesie was the big beneficiary of the Trojans' efforts at getting the ball into the post. She led the way for her team with 18 Tedrow. points. Kiley Buursma. and Crystal Smith had six points each, and Hana Hunt chipped in five.

If allowing only nine points in the first half wasn't good enough. TK stepped up its defensive effort in the second half by backing off. "After I took the tech they did," Bays said. "I had to stand up for those girls." Bays was issued a technical foul early in the second half for disagreeing with the game officials on some things he thought should have been called fouls. on the Rockets. only Kelloggsville scored four or five points after the tech." The Trojans fell back into a 3-2 zone. Kelloggsville never got much penetration going against the zone, and spent much of the second half trying to pass through the patient Trojan defense. It1Playing the 3-2 really helped us a lot," Bays said. The Trojans’ Kenzie Webster pulls up in front of Kelloggsville’s Tanika Mackey during the second quarter Tuesday.

Kelloggsville got six from P°*nts Lorielle Goodson and five from Stephanie Breiner. Thornapple Kellogg is now 2-8 overall.

The Trojans went to Hamilton Friday and scored a 66-59 victory to improve their record to 5-5 overall. Thornapple Kellogg led by 12 points at the half, and held a double digit lead for much of the second half. The Hawkeyes did cut the TK lead down to five at one point in the second half, but the Trojans rebounded to get their advantage back to 11 before the Hawkeyes cut into that margin in the final minutes. th I thought we pressed pretty well early on," said TK head coach Lance Laker. “We had a hard time in a couple of spots where we lost guys rotating back into our man." Greg Hamilton had 26 points and three assists for the Trojans. Jared Stolicker had 22 points and 18 rebounds. TK also got ten points and it 2! £ H I w isfc! aI Iffi f f maa If’ TK boys split non-league games Bruce's Frame and Alignment I three assists from Coley McKeough, six rebounds from Jesse Aubil and three steals from Jacob Bultema. Chris Scholten did his best to shoot the Hawkeyes back into the contest. He was five of nine from threepoint range, and finished with 19 points. Hamilton also got 19 points from Nick Kronemeyer. Laker said he would have liked to have had his team to have been a little more consistent down the stretch, but TK was able to mix-up its defenses throughout the contest and play around with its line-up. Kelloggsville handed TK its first non-conference defeat of the season Tuesday in Middleville, top­ ping the Trojans 59-57. The Rockets broke open a tight game a little bit with an 18-8 run in the third quarter. The Trojans had led 29-26 at the half. Teshon Walton led Kelloggsville with 17 points. Demari Brown added 13 and Alston Ferrell ten. "We shot 22 percent from the floor, which really hurt us down the stretch,” Laker said. "We had a play at the end to send it to overtime, and got a good look but missed a lay-up." TK got 20 points from Hamilton, and 1 1 from Stolicker before he fouled out of the ball game. The Trojans close out the first half of the O-K Gold Conference season with a pair of contests this coming week. They’ll be home against Caledonia Tuesday, then visit Ottawa Hills Friday.

New Caledonia library to open its doors Feb. by Shannon Cornett Staff Writer Caledonia Area Chamber of Commerce members at their recent meeting dis­ cussed the success of food and toy drives, the comple­ tion of the new library, and Independence Day the Celebration. Members were informed that 95 families in the Caledonia and Middleville areas had received assistance during the past holiday sea­ son through the food and toy drives. The families received full packages of toys, gifts, clothes and a full Christmas dinner. It was also pointed out Davenport that University students supplied $2,000 worth of food by donating from their meal plans.

Members of the council reviewed service information received from Energy Consumers on changes being made to light­ ing in the village. Lightbulbs are being replaced. Several council members had concerns that while lightbulbs are being replaced in the streetlights there does not seem to be a reduction in costs. The village office will continue to work with Consumers Energy on this issue and bring information to the council. The board approved a res­ olution asking the Michigan Senate, House ot Representatives and gover­ nor to clarify language in the the state law regarding use of medical marijuana. This was approved by a vote of 6-0. Council member Joyce Lutz was absent. Village Manager Rebecca Fleury will now be the street administrator for the village. She also will serve as Middleville’s representative to Grand Valley the Metropolitan Council and the village’s Freedom of Information Act designee. Council members learned that Alec Belson has been hired as the new employee for the department of public works. In other business, the council approved paying back taxes on property at 800 E. Main St. This had been sold on land contract to the owner of the Production Solutions for possible expan­ sion. However, he went into foreclosure. The village then learned that he had not paid the taxes on the property at 800 Main Street. The taxes were approved to be paid before the Jan. 31 deadline. Council members approved appointing Loyd Elwood to the Downtown Development Authority to fill an opening. They also renewed the four-year terms of Michael Lytle and Judy Kruze on the DDA. In her report, Fleury told council that acting manager Geoff Moffat will work woik on Mondays and Thursdays. He will be the staff liaison to the -----------DDA, planning commission and planning efforts in the village. The DDA has agreed to pay half the costs of the Master Gardener position to maintain the plantings in downtown Middleville. The next meeting of the village council is Tuesday, Feb. 8 at 7 p.m. would need. However, the casino may not make it to opening day if one Wayland area man has his way in a lawsuit he is bringing against the tribe. David Patchak, the man who is looking to prevent the opening of the casino, claims that the very existence of it within the Wayland area will bring ‘negative effects' to his hometown. His complaint with the multi-million dollar project is that it will attract an estimated 3.1 million peopie through the rural area every year, bringing with them increased crime and contribute to air, noise and water pollution. He has also claimed that the casino would destroy the area's ‘rural character,' diminish his property value and make living in his own town and home a less pleasurable experience. Legally, Patchak claims that the casino has no right to be in operation anyway, since he alleges that the had no rights to have its land taken into trust in the first place, a step that must be made in order to operate a casino. He filed suit under the Administrative procedures Act, claiming t j^ennedl Salazar, secretary of the Department of the the violated Interior, Environmental National Policy Act and Indian Gaming Regulatory Act. Furthermore, Patchak said t^at because the tribe was not unc|er federal jurisdiction during the Reorganization Act Act of of 1934, 1934, itit was was unlawful unlawful for Salazar to take the land into trust at all, thus leaving the casino with no technical rights to open. Patchak's case was initial­ ly dismissed by the courts, claiming that he had no grounds to file the suit in the first place under the Quiet Title Act. He continued his lawsuit, however, taking the « r * $ x .

Sprague, tribal chairman, in a Jan. 21 press release. “This decision did not address any of the merits of the case, which we believe are clearly in our favor, and it does not have any impact on the opening of our gaming facility. 1 want to thank the community for all of its support, and on behalf of our 700 new team members, we look forward to seeing you at our grand opening in a few weeks." The latest lawsuit is not the first obstacle that the tribe has had to deal with, and not the only criticism that they have had for pro­ ceeding with plans of open­ ing. An anti-gambling entity, MichGO, had challenged them years earlier, but the case was dismissed. Mike Jandernoa, chairman of 23 is Enough, another opponent of the tribe's estab­ lishment said in a press release Jan. 21, “Those build­ ing the Gun Lake Casino and the investors funding this project should immediately halt all activity to finish construction and open this venue, The D.C.

Michael Cunningham at its Jan. 20 meeting. With the addition of Cunningham, the commis­ sion is now at full strength. Although he is new to the commission, he is not new to Yankee Springs. His family has owned property on Barlow Lake since 1937, and he and his wife, Barbara, have owned property on Barlow Lake since 2002 and constructed a permanent res­ idence there in 2010. He is recently retired and is living full time on the lake. In his application for the commission he post, observed that he has been coming to Yankee Springs as a summer resident/visitor since 1952. He said he has had "a long-standing interest and love for the Yankee Springs area and wishes to see it continue as the beauti- T>;i T.?a3 US Yankee Springs Planning Commission to lull strength ful area that it is." Cunningham has both a bachelor's and a master's from degree Purdue University; his undergradu­ ate degree was in industrial supervision and aviation maintenance technology. His graduate degree is from the executive MBA program. His professional career was spent primarily with U.S. Gypsum Co.. During the public com­ ment period at the meeting, Len Eister, 2723 Oakleigh Drive, asked for clarification of the rules governing fences. His concern is that a living fence being grown by a neighbor obstructs his view of the lake. He said the pine trees are growing into each other and limiting his view of the lake as they reach a height of six feet. He want­ ed to know what the com­ mission would do about it. Frank Fiala, chairman of the Planning Commission, said that this is an issue that has to be worked out by the neighbors. The township has no regulation governing liv­ ing fences and vegetation. It was noted that the issue of a view of the lake had arisen when Bay Pointe Inn was being built, and it was deter­ mined that there is no right to a view in Michigan law. Commissioner Al Schwennesen, board liaison to the commission, reported that a complaint of public urination by ice fishermen on Westwood Drive had been received. The sheriffs department was notified and according to Robert Lippert, zoning administrator, but no response was received from the department. Fiala presented the com­ mission's annual report for 2010, saying that he wanted commissioners to review it before it was sent up to the board of trustees. Following the review the commission approved unanimously a motion to send the report to the board. The report lists as accom- •;4 glB *- .♦ fl Fl if plishments the passage of the Gun Lake Residential Lakefront Zoning District and the M-179 Corridor Overlay District, the writing of a capital improvement plan, the initiation of an in update to the gravel mining ordinance, the initiation of a study of a temporary outdoor market, and the joint meeting of the board of trustees, the zoning board of appeals, and the commission in March 2010. Residential site plan reviews, conducted by the zoning administrator, broke down as follows: seven for new homes, 19 for accessory buildings, 13 for additions to structures, and 15 described as "other." There was only one commercial site plan review in 2010; there were no rezoning requests. Four requests for special-exception use permits were received; three were approved and one was denied. Only one request to divide property was received and approved. The report notes that Yankee Springs population appears to have increased from 4,219 in 2000 to an estimated 4,550 persons in the 2010 census. Costs for planning servic­ es from McKenna and I Associates, Inc. amounted to $14,278.75 in 2010. Legal costs incurred for review of ordinances, legal notices, and all formal documents came to $2,220. Legal costs did not include any charges for litigation related to plan­ ning issues. Six of the nine members of the commission who served in 2010 attended at least one planning confer­ ence. (Recent appointees had not had the opportunity to attend the annual citizen planner update conference held in June of every year.) The report •n. concludes with a list of objectives: Completion of the gravel mining and outbuilding ordi­ nances, exploration of a medical marijuana ordi­ nance, review of the sign ordinance, establishment of a wind turbine ordinance and standards for portable and seasonal businesses, devel­ opment of an "easy permit" process for portable, charita­ ble businesses, study of boat lifts with canopies and boat lift standards, and an update ■n to the capital improvement plan. Also included in the objectives is increased par­ ticipation by commission members in at least one citi­ zen planning event and other planning and land use semi­ nars every year. The commission moved on to a discussion of the per­ mit process for nonprofit businesses. Fiala commented that the discussion at the last meeting had ranged from one extreme to the other. Commissioner Greg Purcell said that he preferred use of IL. the term "nonprofit" rather than charitable. Commissioner Cathy Strickland also objected to the use of the word, "charita­ ble." Planner Greg Milliken recommended limiting a per­ mit to one weekend or three days. Robert Lippert, zoning administrator, said the town­ ship gets complaints from taxpaying businesses. He felt the township could live with the term "charitable." No action was taken on the pro­ posed permit. Fiala, noting that there did not appear to be much inter­ est in establishing a consoli­ dated location for a farmers’ market, suggested removing the item from the commis­ sion's agenda until they hear from persons interested in a farmers' market. Review of the remaining portions of the gravel mining ordinance consumed the remainder of the meeting. Fiala said he wanted the required public hearing to include both the gravel min­ ing and accessory building A ordinances. motion approving the scheduling of the public hearing for the Feb. 17 meeting of the com­ mission passed unanimously. The next regularly sched­ uled meeting of the commis­ sion will be Thursday, Feb. 17 at 7 p.m. in the Yankee Springs township hall. 284 North Briggs Road. 1 [jib . fl • I Hr**? jin®1 iCeas I E ijtsafa .0 ’ it V MW Hot air balloons softball ■ both new to Winterfest V///age Players are coming, be very afraid There are some surprises in this year’s Village Players of Middleville dinner theater production of “Afraid of the Dark” at the MiddleVilla Inn on Fridays and Saturdays, Feb. 18, 19, 25 and 26.

Welker said. “There is another tool that will help narrow the scholarship selec­ tion process. Students can sort scholarships via school district by selecting the corre­ sponding option on the new Barr}' County map feature." In order to complete the online scholarship applica­ tion, students will need a valid e-mail address, an offi­ cial transcript and material for an essay. Welker gave the students at the meeting this tip. “Start this in a Word doc­ ument then copy and paste content into the application here and for other scholar­ ships." Additional documents, such as letters of recommen­ dation will be noted on each scholarship requirement. Information from the stu­ dent's completed federal financial aid form will be required, as well. Students will have to pro­ vide a three-by-five or small­ er picture and one printed copy of the completed online application mailed to the Barry Community Foundation.

This is a local, hometown foundation that awards directly to TK stu­ dents. The pool of applicants is limited to TK students, making the reality of being awarded more realistic than competing for nation-wide awards," said Hannapel. In addition to being at the financial aid night, TAEF is hosting a series of hands-on computer lab sessions at the high school to help applicants finalize forms as the Friday. April 1, deadline nears, The TAEF encourages all students with an interest to complete the application process. Applications are available online at the TAEF website www.thornapple­ foundation.org. The most important thing to remember is that the foundation offers scholarships for everyone, not just top schol­ ars. Within the 30 diverse and unique scholarships available, TK students should not have any problem selecting one that focuses on their tal­ ents and their abilities," Hannapel said. The TAEF is committed to the enrichment and develop­ ment of the Thornapple Kellogg Community and is an affiliate of the Barry Community Foundation.

The board met at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 25 in the library of the Duncan Lake Middle School. Jerry Phillips, district superintendent, led off with the announcement that repre­ sentatives of Consumers Energy were attending to present to the district a rebate check in the amount of $71,910; the check represents the savings achieved through participation in the compa­ ny's incentive-based energy program. conservation ■ Phillips said he particularly regretted that Gary Delger, director of operations for the district, could not be there to accept the check because he was ill. “Gary put it together; reviewed all the bids, got all the paperwork done and sub­ mitted. This is really his hour,” said Phillips. Dave Johnson, director, business energy optimization program, said the program begun in July 2009 was the first such program created by the company since the early 1990. He said projects were submitted to the company for review and acceptance; fol­ lowing acceptance, the proj­ ects were initiated and com­ pleted, and then a rebate check was issued. He said, “Caledonia is a model student,” noting that public school districts are some of the best participants in the program. Caledonia replaced nine boilers and one chiller unit and invested in several variable frequency drives (used on motors), sen- ss K X J »X ' £ < ■' th X * si * lx SBUL J ST?

He estimated that the district will save approximately $49,600 in annual energy costs. Accepting the check from Chris Wagner, manager of the Caledonia account for the company, Phillips said, “The buildings are up to date and we get double the bang for the buck with $125,000 to put back in the general fund." The board heard a presen­ tation on literacy month. Donna Smith explained that the Caledonia Public Library and the Kentwood Public Library, in cooperation with the Caledonia and Kentwood school districts, were cele­ brating literacy month and promotion of reading. The book selected for the pro­ gram is The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. The book, which has received excellent reviews, tells the story of Henrietta Lacks, a black woman, whose distinctive cancer cells, unknown to her or to her family, became the basis for groundbreaking research on the nature of can­ cer and for some treatment options. Smith added that Davenport University will participate in a program at the Kentwood Library March 21. Grand Valley State University also will host a lecture by author, Rebecca Skloot March 28. Ryan Graham, principal at Duncan Lake Middle School, introduced a student-led presentation on opportunities available the school. The presentation on DVD fea­ tured approximately 20 activ­ ities that provided 1,185 opportunities for learning, growth, service and recogni­ tion.

Dion said he had been shy and nervous when she came to the school. She heard about the Builder's Club (a nationwide entry-level activity sponsored by local chapters of the national Kiwanis Club organization) and she liked it. She has served as secretary and as treasurer of the club. She also became involved in the student coun­ cil. She participated in rais­ ing $264 for people in Haiti and collecting toiletries. She also has helped out in the school library. She summed up her experience saying, “student council — reaching out to the school; Builders' Club — reaching out to the community." Yonker said he had participated in the student council as a sixth grader. He accepted a bid from the National Junior Honor Society in the seventh grade and acted as a tour guide for incoming sixth graders. He said his seventh grade year was the key year in his involvement as a focus representative, and in the eighth grade he became a chairperson. He said he feels his greatest achievement was participating in the cancer walk. Continuing the celebratory mood, Phillips presented board members with Caledonia sportswear, noting that it was purchased with funds received through the district’s contract with a soft drink company. He said the giant cookie accompanying the sportswear was a token of thanks for the board's work from the district food service director, Mimi Mahaney and Aramark. He thanked them for the time and effort they put into the district. He also read the proclama- tion issued by Gov. Rick Snyder, who said, “Providing a quality education for our children is an unmistakable priority of our state govern­ ment ... Our democracy gives the chief responsibility of managing, preserving and enriching our public schools local elected school to L boards.

The board moved to approve the addition of Shannon Foster as an occu­ pational therapist and an increase in status for Rachel VanderZwang, an early childhood enter teacher. Also approved by the board was a leave of absence for Megan Hojnacki, speech pathologist. Phillips, delivering his report on district news, noted completion of the first phase of the CalPlex community athletic facilities and its for­ mal grand opening date of May 7. He also said MEAP scores will be available soon and that he feels people will be pleased with the district's progress.

Students from Grand Rapids, Hastings, Lowell and Thornapple Kellogg school districts whose par­ ents work at Bradford White celebrated the end of this year's essay contest. Tony Scimeca, of Design Temperature/Hot Water 911 in Chicago, is a supplier Bradford White, a water heater in manufacturer Middleville. In 2010, he was the sponsor of an essay con­ £• test.

Essays were submitted to the 2011 contest by Maki Agostini, Rachel Belson, Daniel, Mallory and Tatiana Gallivan, Jonte Jefferson, Wyatt Owen, Jordan and Sabriah Postma, Taylor Tripp and Taima Willett. Agostini, Belson, the Postmas and Tripp attend the Thornapple Kellogg schools. The Gallivans attend school in Lowell, Jefferson in Grand Rapids, and Owen and Willett in Hastings. Scimeca told the 11 young writers that he started the contest last year because his mom was a factory worker who had a big impact on his life. He decided to sponsor — the contest, with the topic “What my parent’s job at Bradford White means to me” for the second year. Three TK Middle School teachers were the judges. They read the essays without names and schools attached. “I am glad I wasn’t the judge, Scimeca told the essay writers and their par­ ents Saturday. “My favorite essay this year was by Taima especially the line, ‘I absolutely hate school.’ He also enjoyed reading about Rock, Bacon, Eggs and Number 5. The winning essay was by Thornapple Kellogg High School senior Taylor Tripp. Her complete essay accom­ panies this article. She received a $1,000 first place prize. The other 10 essay writers received $100. The essays expressed the gratitude of the young writ­ ers for providing necessities such as food, clothing and shelter. Several of the writers also mentioned “awesome parties” and visits to Craig’s Cruisers. Agostini wrote, “I know is not easy some days he comes home just plain tired from all the work he has Jone that day. All that just so he can provide for the family he loves.” Rachel Belson wrote, “Bradford White gives me a lot to be thankful for. My mom’s job gives me a roof over my head, food to eat and clothes to wear. It also gives me luxuries like the laptop computer I’m typing this essay on.” Seven-year-old Daniel Gallivan wrote, “Dad’s job gives us allowances. That is how I like my dad's job." His 9-year-old 9-year-oId sister Tatiana wrote, “My dad has the best job at Bradford White. His job helps us help people in Mexico.” Their 15-year-old sister Mallory wrote that life got much better for the family with nine children. “After my dad got the job at Bradford White, my mom could stay home and we could rent a house,” wrote Mallory. “ We are a lot less stressed, as well.” Jefferson explained in his essay that he is a senior honor student at Grand Rapids Christian High School. He used his essay to explore how his world came to be after his father began working at Bradford White. “My father is the most determined, hardworking person I know,” wrote Jefferson. “My father is the White is my ticket to success for the future.” Wyatt Owen wrote that his dad working at Bradford White means that his mom can stay home. “She is involved with our school, and is able to keep up with our sports schedule,” he said. Jordan Postma wrote in his essay about how impor­ tant the work is. “Without it I would have no hot water for my show­ ers,” he wrote. Sabriah Postma wrote, “Whether it is spring, sum­ mer, fall or winter I can always rely on my home for warmth or to cool down.” She added in her essay that one of the things her dad has to give up is sleep, since he works third shift. “Thank you Bradford White,” she concluded. “My dad's job there means a lot to me, more than he will ever know.” Willett, who is planning to a become veterinarian, explained in her essay that her mom’s job has allowed her to be involved in her favorite charity, Toys for Barry County Kids, be part of 4-H, FFA, and the Barry County Fair, especially lead­ ing second graders around the fairgrounds. Following some sharing time when students read their essays to each other, they and their parents enjoyed lunch provided by the com­ pany and had time to visit their parent's work stations, wearing their safety glasses and ear plugs, before leaving for home. What my parent’s job at Bradford White means to me by Taylor Tripp For 23 years, my dad has put his time into Bradford White Corporation. For 23 years, my Dad has fought to keep his family above the poverty level. Times are tough, and the job my Dad has been provided gives my family and me the comfort to live life the way that it was intended. Given there were mistakes that have been made and times get harder, but without the job, I don’t know where our family would be. I have heard the stories about work, waking up is a pain and not every job you have you will like. I truly cannot tell you whether or not my Dad thinks this is the job for him but, I do know that Bradford White has pro­ vided my family with the fighting chance. Even if the job is long and hard, my Dad still takes his time to do the best that he can. This is what inspires me to strive for more. Seeing how hard work can change you, makes me want to change myself. Every step of the way, my dad has shown me that when you work hard, rewards will come your way. With this push, I have taken my time to be better in school and to •It want to be the best that I can be. He has pushed me to be fourth in my graduating class and allowed me options by colleges fighting for my attendance.

I know there is a support team in the audience cheering me on. Money has given me that feeling. Though I wish things in life would come free, they don't. My dad could have saved money for something more important; he decided that my passions were the most important to him. From this, 1 feel honored he has the job he does. Almost four years ago to this day, my passion was put on hold. Having some very bad feet, I was forced to take a year off of dance to have surgery. Looking at the bills that followed it could have been my fault that our family drowned. The insurance Bradford White Corporation provided my family saved us in more ways than one.

It also provided me with the help to recover and get back to doing what I love to do. My dad never stopped doing his job, but he was still there throughout the whole process. We were rewarded money and time to be the family that stays together through thick and thin. Prices have changed since my parents were teens. We listen to our grandparents tell us that they could buy things for nearly nothing at all. This is not the case now. Every week my Dad heads to the store to purchase all the food that we need to survive. Yes, the job provided money for other things, but food comes within the top two, shelter being the other. I can walk down the street and see oth­ ers begging with signs stat­ ing “Will work for food," children out on the streets because their family lost their home to foreclosure; this breaks my heart. I know that without my dad and the job he does that could be me next. Instead, the steady pay­ check and the amount of overtime my dad is given allows me to sleep in my own bed in a house that we own. We are able to keep the roof over our heads so that as my sister and I move away, we have a real home to come back to. Looking into the future, the job my dad has gives a lot more than I thought. I have never sat down to look at the amount of money it costs to live. As I myself plan to leave, it scares me to think that with the economy and recession, people all over are struggling just to pay the bills. Bradford White Corporation has relieved some of the stress off of my parents' backs. For this, I thank them. I get to come home, eat food, and spend time with my family. This is something that not many people get the privilege of doing. From them I have my support, my drive, my strength to make something of my life. From my dad and his job I have found confi­ dence to take the world by the horns and just put myself out there. Work is part of life. I work to dance, I work to get the grades that I want, and I work to make money. My dad works to live, he works to support us. he works to see all of us smile. Without him none of my life would be possible today. I know this sounds very cliche' but it's the honest truth. Bradford White gave my dad a chance to prove himself and provide for not only himself but his family, as well. They have now passed this desire down to me.

Budget- Member sipc Edwardjones MAKING SENSE OF INVESTING Put your financial “puzzle” pieces together Unless you keep track of obscure holidays, you may not be aware that Jan. 29 is National Puzzle Day. And while this day may not draw much attention, it does rec­ ognize the enjoyment that millions of people get from doing puzzles. Of course, you'll find puzzles in all aspects of your life. Consider, for example, the type of retirement lifestyle you've envisioned: travel, volunteering, pursuing hob­ bies or perhaps even opening your own business. To make this picture come to life, you need to put the financial “pieces” together: And one way to help accomplish this is to consolidate your various retirement accounts — such as your IRA, 401(k) and other employer-sponsored retirement plans — with one financial services provider. When you consolidate these types of accounts, you can gain a number of key bene­ fits, including these: • Potential reduction of fees and paperwork — By working with just one provider, you may be able to save on the fees and paper­ work required to maintain your account. • Easier management of distributions — Most retire­ ment plans, including a 401(k), 457(b), 403(b) and traditional IRA. require you to start taking minimum distributions once you turn 701/2. (These distributions are not required for Roth IRAs.) While it may not be difficult to determine a single distribution, it can be cumbersome and confusing to calculate multiple distributions from multiple providers. Having all your required minimum distributions (RMDs) coming from a single provider can greatly 1-616-307-5252 organization. tax-exempt e You might think this is a simple and straightforward task, but you would be sur­ prised at how many people actually lose track of these types of accounts and. as a result, forfeit the money that is rightfully theirs. After you've identified what assets you have, and where they’re located, seek to consolidate them with a financial services provider. Try7 to find one that offers face-to-face service and regular reviews of your situation. As you can see. by consol­ idating your various invest­ ment accounts, you can help solve the “puzzle” of creat­ ing the retirement you seek. So when the time comes, start putting all the pieces together. You might like the that picture ultimately emerges.

The conference cham­ pionship meet is Feb. 5 at Ottawa Hills High School. Fighting Scot head coach Shawn Veitch gathered his team around him after the win. He had one hand on the shoulder of 189-pounder Dillon Schmitt. Schmitt and most of his teammates lis­ tened with big smiles on their faces. “I just pointed up to the conference championships (on the banner on the wall), how many they've won in a row." Veitch said, “just like we did at Hastings. These are the two upper-echelon teams in the league. That's what we want to become.” If all plays out as expected the rest of the season, Caledonia will head into the league tournament as the top seed, followed by Hastings and then Thornapple Kellogg. The Scots would need a top two finish to secure a share of the league championship, and a win would guarantee them the outright title. “We had a very explicit plan and everything was exe­ cuted to perfection,” said Veitch. “We got the wins where we should we’d win and we did what we had to do when we lost.” The Scots started the night out by scoring three consecu­ tive decisions.

On Monday, Jan. 31, she shared her look back at her first month in the village with the Sun and News. “It has been very excit­ ing,” she said. She had worked with the village council on the budg­ et for 2011 which was approved at the December council meeting. Fleury said she is impressed with how council has worked to stay on a good fiscal path and to meet the deficit reduction deadline in 2013. Fleury said she is com­ mitted to the village being successful in being a place for families, individuals and businesses. She is commit­ ted to making Middleville a successful community. She explained that she drives into a different part of the village every day as she heads to work.

She said she believes that the new law allowing the 24 hours after a snow event will give everyone a little more time. She also encouraged people to look out for their Hl neighbors. The village council is exploring the fiscal impact of having additional DPW workers clear sidewalks. “This is under discussion but no decision has been made,*' said Fleury. The problem of the bricks downtown is as frustrating for the council and staff in the village as it is for resi­ dents and the drivers using the road. “We are holding the engi- neering firm accountable,” she said. “The village won’t be signing off on this until it is corrected.” She noted that a temporary fix in December was meant to get through winter. A more permanent solution will be found once winter is over. Fleury is working to update the village’s website and also is working on a reg­ ular newsletter for village residents. She said she likes the new configuration of the village offices which was done early in January. “I feel so welcomed in this community,” she added Fleury has been married to her husband, Matt, for 22 years. They have two sons, Ryan, 17, and Jamie, 15. Before becoming Middleville's village manag­ er, she was finance director for the Kalamazoo Public Safety Department. She added that the mem­ bers of the village council have been “so supportive, accessible and open to sug­ gestions.” Council members and others have also given her historical information about the village, which, she said, has been very helpful.

Rabbai invited any person interested in keeping events going to join. This includes giving a scholarship to a graduating CHS senior. Ben Reynolds and Mike O'Dowd have been gracious contributors to the club as well as Ron Anger. Rabbai has served as president for the past two years, and Nikki Elliot has served as secretary. The club would like to hand off the positions to new members, since they are only one-year terms. Both Rabbai and Elliott said they feel they have brought the club as far as possible without more mem­ bers getting involved, Rabbai explained the pur­ pose of Rotary. Around the world, nearly every religion, country, culture, race, creed political persuasion, lan­ guage and ethnic identity is found in Rotary. Rotarians become aware of cultures and learn to appreciate and work with people of all back­ grounds. Rotary’s defined purpose is an open society of men and women who simply believe in helping others. Rotary's motto is “Service Above Self,” and Rabbai said the Caledonia club would like to grow this tradi­ tion. Call Elliott at 616-8912478 for a reservation.

Unless you've been cut off from every source of media, not to mention all human contact, you're no doubt aware that the Super Bowl is fast approaching. If you're a football fan, you're probably eager to watch the game fea­ turing this year's best teams. And if you're a business owner, you can learn a lot from how Super Bowl teams are put together. One thing that virtually all Super Bowl teams share is a stellar quarterback —- someone who drives his team with skill, agility and vision. These same qualities can be found in a qualified, experienced financial professional — someone who can act as your “quarterback” and help you reach your goals. What sort of guidance might you get from your “quarter­ back”? Here are some possi­ bilities: • Coordinating your kiteam" — A Super Bowl­ caliber quarterback is adept at 8ett‘nig everyone on the offense to play well together, And as a business owner, you, too, may need to get your own “team” up and running. Specifically, you may well need to use both an attorney and a tax profes­ sional to help you take care of various aspects of your business. Your financial advisor can help coordinate their services. For example, if your business is involved with your estate plan, you will have legal, tax and investment considerations to deal with — so you'll want these various professionals working together toward your ultimate objectives. • Executing your strategy — Whether a quarterback hands off the football or throws a pass, he is attemptto follow his team s ,n8 game plan, or strategy. And your financial advisor, as Your quarterback, will help y°u execute the right game strategy to work toward your own objectives. For starters, your financial advisor may ask questions such as these: Do you have a retirement plan in place? If so, is it appropriate for your needs? Do you have the right types and amounts of business insurance? Have you considered business succession strategies? Once your finan­ cial advisor knows the answers to these questions, he or she can then help you implement your overall strat­ egy through the use of suit- YOUR FIRST CHOICE FOR REHAB uffl v Members of the GFWC Gun Lake area women’s club will meet Wednesday, Feb. 9. at Yankee Springs Golf Course and Restaurant at 12300 Bowens Mills Road.

Rider added that TK and ISD all Kent schools received information Monday from the National Weather Service that they have never had access to in the past. Rider told parents. “I was very pleased it gave us the information we need­ ed without the dramatics that [our] local media sometimes uses to help them with their ratings.” Caledonia Community Schools also canceled activi­ ties Tuesday evening, and schools were closed Wednesday, as well, Both school districts remained closed Thursday, due mainly to secondary roads not being cleared so school buses could get through. Both districts com­ municated with their road commissions before making the decision to close on Thursday. Tuesday evening, during high winds, Caledonia's Kettle Lake Elementary lost power. "We knew if we waited until morning, the building would be below freezing, and the water pipes would be breaking,” said Superintendent Jerry Phillips. “We called Buist Electric and they found a commercial generator for us so we could power the whole building.” By morning, the power was back on in the building. Phillips shared a little per­ spective between this socalled blizzard and the storm of January 1978, which had 22 inches of new snow, sixand ■ seven-foot drifts, and brought commerce, school and churches to a standstill for more than a week. "The cleanup from this storm seemed to go faster and smoother than the storm of 1978. In 1978, the snow banks were higher, creating larger drifts. Some drifts in 1978 were so high that the county plow trucks could not break through. They had to use the airport snowblower to cut through the drifts.” In this week’s storm, Caledonia school crews were able to clear the parking lots of its buildings by late after­ noon Wednesday.

It has been rescheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 16. manager Marketplace Cathy Curtis said that the Middleville grocery store was filled with people shop­ ping for staples such as milk, juice, butter, eggs and bot­ tled water. In fact the store sold out of bananas, includ­ ing the more expensive organic ones, she said. The market opened at its regular time of 7 a.m. Wednesday. Curtis said she got to work a little later because her road had not been plowed. Shoppers stopped by for staples, once the snow stopped, as well. At D&W, manager Bob Mingerink said that in addi­ tion to Tuesday shoppers looking for items such as milk, cheese and bread, some also stocked up on beer and wine. D&W did open at its regular time of 6 a.m. Wednesday. By the time the snow stopped falling Wednesday afternoon, the blizzard had dropped more than a foot of snow throughout the area. around some of our doors which had to be done by hand," he said. "As far as I am aware, we did not have any equipment failures dur­ ing cleanup. Our crew did a great job, so school could open on Thursday. Unfortunately, the secondary roads were not ready for buses on Thursday, so we had to cancel again.” He added a little story about the 1978 storm. He said, "I was teaching sixth grade at Dutton back in 1978, and we had at least four or five days off back then. I had some Guinea pigs and hamsters as classroom pets that year, and I knew I had to get to Dutton to feed them and give them some water during the storm or they would starve to death. "Most all the roads were closed, and we were sup­ posed to stay off the roads. The only way to get to Dutton Elementary was Broadmoor to 68th Street. Coming from the west, 68th Street was closed and Hanna Lake was closed because of the large drifts." The parking lot at Dutton was not plowed after the sec­ ond day off, so Phillips had to park on 68th Street. "As soon as my key was in the lock of the room, the Guinea pigs started whistling loud to make sure I knew they needed food and water. They were thrilled I came to their rescue," he recalled, When school resumed in a few days, I learned that every student was worried sick by the thought that the classroom pets were without food 44 Continued next page % I# lilt a* • I lillS'i ia®?> siss anf® u• si: fair® arraia * fem Wttlt itril iinCi •» a lulinb ’ *5 * £95 :S ^3 5V1 J Ik I 1 M » J. ‘ ■ K ■— ■I -r •Sir i.

Middleville Department of Public Works crews were busy clearing snow from the streets Tuesday night and through the day and evening Wednesday. The five DPW employees were out on the roads for 14 hours Wednesday. They returned to the streets Thursday, again at 5 a.m. and worked more than 10 hours to keep the vil­ lage roads passable. Residents have been keep­ ing the sidewalks clean as well throughout the village. They have 24 hours after the end of a snow event to clear sidewalks. Some workers who live within walking distance of their jobs got exercise in the snow Wednesday. Others cross-country skied or carpooled with friends with four-wheel-drive vehicles. Even four-wheel-drive vehi­ cles had to be high off the road to avoid getting stuck. Some businesses had their front doors drifted shut. Private snowplow owners were some of the first drivers on the roads Wednesday, morning going from drive­ way to driveway. The Barry County Road Commission had many paved roads cleared by 9 a.m. and was working to get to other roads, including gravel roads, during the day. In Kent County, the road commission worked on high­ ways and main thorough­ fares first before moving to the side roads.

Branch manager Liz Guarino guided donors through the library as they listened to music, sampled appetizers and greeted friends who were part of the effort for the library.

Now, more than 40 years later, he is seeking to become Judge Schipper in the same court­ room. With the upcoming retirement of District Court B Gary Judge Holman, Schipper said he hoping to be on the other side of the bench in that Barry County courtroom. Schipper, a life-long% resi­ dent of Barry County, said he has all the credentials to make his long-held dream a possibility. A 1981 graduate of Thornapple Kellogg High School, Schipper was all­ conference and captain of the football and basketball teams and was honored on the TK sports “wall of fame." He earned his bachelor’s degree at Hope College, where he played football and received Hope’s highest academic award as a Baker Scholar. He went on to receive his law degree at the Ohio State University College of Law in Columbus, Ohio. Mike’s first legal position was al the Grand Rapids law firm of Clary, Nantz and Wood, where among other duties, he was the prosecutor for the city of Kentwood. For the past 20 years, he has been an assistant United States attor­ ney, handling both criminal and civil cases, and was a special prosecutor with the Kent County Prosecutor’s Office. Throughout his career, Schipper has received numerous local, regional and national awards including a Case of the Year Award for successfully convicting eight defendants who ran a Ponzi scheme in West Michigan, stealing nearly $21 million from more than 600 victims, and receiving a handwritten letter of appreciation from then U.S, Attorney General Janet Reno, for his success­ ful resolution of a complex civil case. • Kent County District Court Judge Paul Denenfeld who, while in private prac­ tice, was an adversary of Schipper’s in many federal criminal cases, said the fol­ lowing about Schippcr's pur­ suit of the Barry County District Court appointment, “Mike has all of the qualities we want in a judge: a willing­ ness to listen, an open mind, a knowledge of the law, and a desire to do what is fair and just. He is not just an excellent attorney, he is an excel­ lent person, with a strong sense of ethical behavior and community service. Barry County would be well served with him on the bench.” Scooper Bowl Party. Events will that day include fundraising, receiving awards and eating ice cream.

In addition to helping on the board and coaching in the Middleville middle school football program and coach­ ing a Hastings youth swim team, he chaired the past two school bond campaigns, was chairman of the Thomapple UK Township Zoning Board of Appeals, and he and his wife volunteer at the schools, have taught Sunday school and volunteer regularly for church work projects. Schipper admits that becom­ ing a Barry County judge has long been an aspiration of his. “I’ve always had the goal," he said, “that one day there would be an opening in Barry County where I could serve the community and use the experience and judgment of my legal career in the area where I live, where I and my family have our own deep roots. Il would be an honor to continue the strong represen­ tation that our county has had on the bench, and the great reputation that nur courts have throughout the state. Our unified court sys­ tem has been an exemplary model for the entire state.” Schipper and his wife of 25 years, Lori, are the par­ ents of three teen-age chil­ dren.

Rossman then scored what would prove to be the game-winner off assists from Braden McGillicuddy and Arnold. “This game was very much different than the first •• time we played this team, * said Beurer. “They came out with a lot of fire and deter­ mination in the first period and really took the game to US. Unity scored the game’s opening goal in the first six minutes. 41 I was able to call a time­ out in order to settle down the team and remind them to play our system and not chase our opponent,” Beurer said.

Bitterman, Swift and Arnold had two assists each in the win. L/C will host South Christian Friday night at Kentwood Ice Arena, begin­ ning at 8:30 p.m., then will Saturday be at Kentwood again against the Kalamazoo Blades with the puck set to drop at 4 p.m. I was not sure how we would come out and play this game seeing as though we had a late game the night said, Beurer before. team the However, responded very' well. 46 We definitely surprised Grand Rapids Christian.” Christian battled back through, outscoring L/C 2-1 in the second period. Tage Green had the lone score for L/C in the second period, with assists going to Andrew Light and Jamieson. The Eagles stepped up their play again in the third period, and pulled within a goal at 5-4. Steger got his team a two-goal cushion back with just over a minute to play with a power play goal. Beurer said his team start­ players. Arnold scored twice in the first four minutes of the second period, getting assists from Cam Steger. Jordan Swift and Rossman. The two teams then exchanged goals the rest of the second period, with Tyler Bitterman notching L/C’s third goal. Dennis and Colin Echelbarger had assists on that L/C score. L/C was the team that got off to the strong start Saturday, as it took on Grand Rapids Christian. L/C scored four goals in the first half of the first period, and went on to a 6-5 victory in non-conference action. Steger scored twice, Arnold one. and Adam Hubert once in the run.

In a second action, the commission approved a con­ ceptual site plan for the development; no further action is required on the site plan at this point. The development has been governed by a consent judg­ ment issued by the Kent County Circuit Court since 2001; discussions to move tfoe development into the regular zoning process were first publicly suggested by Township Supervisor Bryan See CAS/NO, pg. 10 Snow delays but doesn’t keep Irving Township from planning next budget nc roT by Patricia Johns I Staff' Writer Members of the Irving Township board ot trustees had hoped to hold a budget workshop Wednesday, Feb. 2.

(Photo by Patricia Johns) Harrison late in 2008. Archie Warner, chair of the commission, opened the public hearing and Steve Nederveld Witte, of representing Associates, T&M Partners, presented a brief overview, saying the consent judgment provided for multiple uses. The goal was to exit the judgment and give the township more input through the zoning process while preserving some fea­ tures of the judgment. Among the changes sought by the developer are all uses allowed in the C-2 (retail trade) zoning district. Witte added that the developer would also like to add seven additional acres purchased after 2001 to the proposed PUD, for a total of 45.47 acres, according to the application. The seven addi­ tional acres would be used for residential development and would add 58 condo­ miniums to the currently allowed 64 condominium units for a total of 122 resi­ dential units. Perhaps the single most important “keeper" from the consent judgment is a provi­ sion allowing five liquor licenses to remain in the PUD. Witte also dealt with signage. According to the petition submitted with the application, three pylon signs would be permitted. One of the three pylon signs allowed under the judgment would be removed, and a new sign containing a listing of busi­ nesses within the develop­ ment and an electronic mes­ sage board at the bottom would be permitted. The new sign would require a waiver of the existing regulations tor pylon signs,, All other signs would comply with existing regulations. Public water and sewer service exists in the develop­ ment. However, the seven acres purchased in 2007 are not in the M-37 sewer and water district. Connections within the development would be made at existing See CROSSROADS, pg. 2 Caledonia community read program will focus on poverty On Monday, March 21, students and adults in Caledonia who have read Immortal Life of The Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot will be able to attend a panel discussion on pover­ ty and the community, fol­ lowed by a discussion of the book at the Kentwood Public Library. The book read is for stu­ dents and adults, said Donna Smith, adding that Caledonia High School and Davenport University are both involved with this project. The March 21 event, from 6:30 to 8 p.m., is a celebra­ tion of the Kent District Library system and the two new libraries in Caledonia and Kentwood. “The teachers have been encouraged to incorporate conversations about the book into their classes," said Smith, adding that she is pleased that this is a community wide book read to cele­ brate the new libraries, to promote literacy and to build relationships in the commu­ nity. The March 21 event at the Kentwood Public Library, Breton, SE in 4950i Kentwood, will take the 1 issues from the book and localize them to the greater Grand Rapids area. Betty Zylstra, director of Booth Family Services, will be one of the speakers at the March 21 event, which is free and open to the public. It is a collaboration of stu­ dents from Caledonia High School, East Kentwood High School and Davenport University, in partnership with the Grand Valley State Community University Reading Project.

Since the development is within the Cherry Valley Overlay District, those stan­ dards for exterior construc­ tion materials apply as well as compatibility with exist­ ing structures. Commercial structures are not required to follow the same architectural theme as the residential development. Witte noted that putting the development in the PUD process would continue to require site plan review by the commission for every new project. Warner began the discus­ sion amon commissioners with questions about changes to the site condo­ minium documents and exte- rior constructions materials. Witte assured him that the changes to the site condo­ minium documents were minor. Warner expressed concern about the amount of vinyl exterior material used in the construction of the existing Porter Hills assist­ ed-living center. Warner then moved on to more substantive topics, beginning with the proposed addition of seven acres for residential development, asking, “Why should we approve an extension of resi­ dential development when you haven't filled out what you have?” in reference to the fact that most of the 21 condominiums currently constructed continue to remain unsold and vacant. lit Witte responded, “It is a good setting; we are being far-sighted." “How do you feel about sidewalk access to all of the buildings in the PUD?" con­ tinued Warner.

He persisted, “Can people walk or bicycle with­ out going into a road?" Witte admitted they prob­ ably could not but would have to go through a parking lot. Why should we approve an extension of residential development when you haven’t filled out what you have?” Archie Warner The issue of liquor licens­ es was then raised by Warner. Dar VanderArk, also representing T&M Partners, said, “They were approved in consent judg­ ment No. 6. We want the licenses." Michael Clark, township planner, said the additional licenses would have to come before the township board; in other words, the township could refuse to allow an applicant to use the license. Commissioner Don Koopmans entered the dis­ cussion, saying he doesn't know how the consent judg­ ment would be affected by a PUD and added that he was surprised by the idea of adding seven more acres for residential housing, He asked how many units had been sold so far. “Five sold now five of PEOPLE Helping People (even the little ones) You could pursue a healthcare career!

Witte said that it wouldn't. but VanderArk said the town­ ship would have to approve removal of the age restric­ tion. Koopmans said he would be opposed to lifting the age restriction, noting that the development was to provide senior housing and to limit the impact on schools. Commissioner Duane Gunnink said he did not see the need for the additional seven acres. “Leave the seven acres out,” said Gunnink. “You are muddying the water. See it as a future use.” Witte defended the inclu­ sion saying, “We thought since we were before you now, we would add it so we would not have to come back to you in five years.” VanderArk hastened to add that the company was not trying to put anything over on the commission. “There is no question of seeing the addition as an attempt to,” said Warner. “The concern is the condos already built but not sold.” Gunnink commented that with that many condos, there would be other issues such as the need for a fire lane. Commissioner Mike Kelly said a PUD lets them have a building. “If we approve conceptu­ ally, they could build it with­ out coming to us. I am 99 uncomfortable with that. Koopmans added he wants to see some restric­ tions on the condominium units. VanderArk explained. saying, “The intent is to keep them; it is not suitable for young families — there is no play area. It would be a deterrent to sales to have a lot of young families. It doesn’t meet needs of young singles. Older people have a lot of stuff.” Warner raised the question of rentals. Koopmans said, “The intent is to keep what we had before. We don't want them to become apartments.” Kelly Commissioner Cavanaugh asked, “Is there a percentage or is every indi­ vidual?” VanderArk, referring to the condominium bylaws, confirmed that two-thirds of the units were to be sold to persons age 50 or more. Cavanaugh said she thought it had implications for sin­ gles and future development. Warner asked, “Do we want to keep the original intent of the compromise?" Commissioner Ric Parent, who had earlier agreed with Warner on sidewalks, said. before the rezoning to a PUD “The original owner pro­ will be completed.

He Staff Writer One of the highlights of the Middleville Village Council meeting Feb. 8 was the council hearing from Nick Wake, office manager for new State Rep. Mike Callton. Wake, a 2005 Thomapple Kellogg High School gradu­ ate, reviewed Callton's first weeks in office for the coun­ cil. He told the council Callton wants to have open and honest communication with local governments. He also said Callton is on the health policy and veterans affairs committees. Each council member received Wake’s card, and he told them that someone from Callton's office would try to attend the first council meet­ ing each month, if possible. The village council gave Wake a copy of the resolu­ tion passed asking for the legislature to re-examine the medical marijuana legisla­ tion. Council member Sue Reyff told Wake, “We want to see some action to clarify this legislation.” County Barry Commissioner Dan Parker also spoke to the council at the Feb. 8 meeting. He gave them insight into best- and worst-case scenarios for the county’s economy due to slow recovery from the recession. n ii it wtaspii pra’.lr tnoBi wife!

These are fine gifts, but after the chocolates are eaten and the roses have wilted, Valentine’s Day will just be a pleasant memory. But if y°u want to give a present that can benefit your valen­ tine for years to come, why not give a financial gift? * Here are a few creative ideas for doing just that: • Give shares of stock. Like everyone else, your valentine no doubt enjoys certain products. or services. So why not give her or him shares of stock in the businesses that produce those goods and services? Your valentine will enjoy being an owner and may well use this newfound stock ownership to develop a greater interest in investing — and investing can help all of us work toward our financial goals. (Keep in mind that, if you are giving away shares of your own stock, you should take note of your original pur­ chase price; this information will be needed for tax pur­ poses should your gift recip­ ient ever sell the shares.) • Contribute to an IRA. Does your valentine con­ tribute to a traditional or Roth IRA? If so, he or she is making a wise move, because an IRA is one of the best tax-advantaged ways to save lor retirement. for Consequently, you'll be doing your valentine a great service by helping him or her fund an IRA. (While you can’t directly invest in some­ one else’s IRA, you can write that person a check for the same purpose.) For the 2010 and 2011 tax years, the IRA contribution limit is $5,000, or $6,000 for investors 50 and older. And Call 945-9554 any time for contributions for 2010 can be payment or credit card pay­ made right up until the tax­ ment for a month, and then encourage your valentine to filing deadline. • Make a charitable gift in put the savings to work in an your valentine 's name.

These so-called bath salts are being sold across the country as a crystalline pow­ der online, at head shops, convenience stores and on the street. The powder is not commercially manufactured bath salts which people pur­ chase while bathing. The products are sold under names such as “Ivory Wave,” “Aura Aura, ” “ZOOM 2 ” “Zeus 2,” “Cosmic Blast” and “White Rush." The pow­ der may be snorted, ingested, injected or inserted rectally or vaginally. At this time, hospital emergency departments in Michigan have reported 18 cases related to the use of these bath salts in the past four weeks, many of which have been in the Marquette area. Many of those treated in emergency departments have been young adults. Similar reports have been seen in states across the country. These bath salt products may contain a number of synthetic chemicals includ­ ing methylmethcathinone or methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDVP), both of which are strong stimulants that can cause increased heart rate, chest pains, dizzi­ delusions, ness, panic attacks, nose bleeding and nausea. Patients ingesting these chemicals can become extremely paranoid. Some have been involved in homi­ cides and suicides while under the influence. Many describe being chased by demons, gods, aliens or for­ eign soldiers. Severe cases may require long-term psy­ chiatric care. “We are very concerned about the use of this danger­ ous product," said Dr. Gregory Holzman, MD, chief medical executive for MDCH. “These stimulants affect neurotransmitters in the brain which can result in violent behavior and death," MDCH is working closely with the Michigan Poison Control Center to monitor the number of patients treat­ ed for use of so-called bath salts in emergency depart- ments across the state. Health care providers are being asked to send all infor­ mation on suspect cases directly to the Michigan Poison Control Center. Individuals with bath saltrelated medical concerns or questions are asked to call the Michigan Toxic Hotline at 800-648-6942. SAFER THAN THE INTERNET AND MAIL Unlike pop up store fronts...

The day ended with a fun SumoBot chal­ lenge which was a trial chal­ lenge, and those scores were not included in the final scores. The Menomonie White team won that event. Some of the challenges arc written tests. Others, like Mission Possible, towers and Sounds of Music are handson events. Tests could not be observed but parents and team some members watched the hands-on com­ petitions. In the tower competition, each team brings a balsa wood tower created to meet specific dimensions, weigh­ ing as little as possible. For the competition, a bucket is suspended from the tower by a chain and sand is poured into the bucket. Some towers shatter during the test, others stay intact; the challenge is to build the lightest tower that can hold the most weight. In Sounds of Music, teams create two musical instru­ ments and play two tunes. TK band teacher Ray Rickert, who judged Sounds of Music, encouraged teams to practice their performanc­ es to cam points, not just build the instruments. “Don’t forfeit points you can cam.” he told competi­ tors. “Practice playing your music before you compete again.” In Helicopters, teams had to build helicopters that were powered by rubber bands, Points were scored based on weight of the helicopter and how far it flew forward and backward. * I ■l Call 945-9554 for Sun & News classified ads DOBBIN'S 1 u kl COMPLETE AUT0 SERVICE CENTER Ejir Your Local CM Automotive Specialists ' gtwyv LOCATED JUST SOUTH OF HASTINGS ON M 79 1 4 In Mission Possible, prior to the competition, teams created built, tested and doc­ umented a Rube Goldbergtype device, The regional Science Olympiad competition will he Saturday, March 12, in Lansing, WE HONOR • • CM protection PROTECTION plan exieNOtD Our Diagnostic Computer Software Is Compatible With All Makes & Models warranties .945-0191 Serving the 4 area for over IS years! *A KT A Ml 9 J JEFF DOBBIN5Q AUTO SERVICE.

After the growth he’s seen lately, that will all be over next season. “I’m starting to see them expect to win,” Tabor said Wednesday. “Not want to win, or hope to win, but expect to win. That’s a huge step. Their mental toughness has gotten better.” The results have gotten better too, just not good enough. Hastings scored its third dual meet win of the season over the Trojans in the Division 2 District Finals Wednesday at Hastings High School. Each time the two teams met this season the score got a little closer, with this final dual ending with the Saxons on top 35-27. The Saxons didn’t clinch the dual Wednesday until the next to last match, a 12-1 major decision by Ken Cross at 140 pounds over TK’s Cole Gahan.

I �The Sun and News, Saturday, February 12, 2011/ Page 15 Scots end Saxons' streak of league championships by Brett Bremer Sports Editor The Fighting Scots don’t have to look up to anyone anymore in the league. Caledonia’s varsity wrestling team topped Hastings by just six points Saturday, 182 to 176, at Ottawa Hills High School in the O-K Gold Conference Championship Tournament to snap the Saxons' string of five consecutive conference championships. “We were down one point there going into the finals, and I said that everybody has got to take it upon them­ selves to place one spot high­ er,” said Caledonia head coach Shawn Veitch. Hastings had that slim lead heading into the final round of wrestling, but was defeated in three of the four championship or consolation final matches where it went head to head with Caledonia. “We had chances,” said Goggins. “We gave a couple up and we slid here. You medal 13 out of 14 of them, what more can you do?” Caledonia had 13 medal­ ists as well, including a tour­ nament-high five champions and three runner-up finish­ ers. Hastings had four cham­ pions and three second-place finishers. “I told (Justin) Bigger, and I told (John) Leark, and Spencer Coury, I told them it’s really a dual between us and Hastings at just those three weights,” Veitch said. “I told them if we won those three weights, we’d win.” He was right. Bigger, the Scots' senior 140-pounder, was greeted with a hero’s welcome by his teammates after he pinned the Saxons' Kenny Cross 1 minute 41 seconds into their championship match. “It was breathtaking,” Bigger said of his win. “It was just very, very exciting.” The Fighting Scots shared the O-K Gold Conference the championship with Saxons in 2007, when Bigger and the Fighting Scot seniors were in eighth grade.

(Photo by Brett Bremer) Sports Editor Just one point separated Thornapple Kellogg and Hastings after 32 minutes of basketball the first time they met this season. When the Trojans and Saxons got together again, they needed more than that to settle things. Hastings' varsity boys’ basketball team topped the Trojans for the second time this season, scoring a 68-64 victory in O-K Gold Conference action at Thornapple Kellogg High School Friday. “That's what rivalries are about,” said Hastings head coach Don Schils, whose team was playing its second overtime contest of the week after falling in OT Tuesday against Grand Rapids Catholic Central. Saxon forward Tate Miller spun around and swung a fist through the air after knocking down the first of two free throws with 15.4 seconds left to play, giving his team a two possession lead. The second one put his team up 66-61. Miller had missed a pair of foul shots half a minute earlier, those were two of just three misses for the Saxons in 25 attempts at the foul line throughout the contest. Tate played a great fourth quarter for us t . There were a couple of free throws, he made a couple defensive plays, and got two big rebounds there at the end if I remember right,” Schils said. Miller’s teammate Grant Heide was 13 of 13 at the foul line, with all of those coming in the second half or overtime, and led all scorers with 23 points on the night, Hastings also got 11 points from Danny Buehler, nine from Keith Garber, seven from Sean McKeough. and six each from Kevin Bosma, Maxwell Clark and Miller, TK was led by Jared Stolicker's 29-point performance, and the Trojans also got 13 points from Coley McKeough, and 12 from Greg Hamilton, “I thought we moved the ball tonight,” said TK head coach Lance Laker. Even when we got it in to Jared, he made a lot of good decisions as far as when he shot it and when he didn't.” It We really don't have an answer for (Stolicker),” Schils said. “My kids battled and stuff, but when he catch­ es it we have to hope me misses and clean up on the rebounds.” The Trojans held a fourpoint lead with 3:43 left in regulation, but then came a rough couple of minutes, Buehler, who had a strong night attacking the basket, cut that TK lead in half. Hamilton fouled out of the contest. Then in a scramble for a loose ball, TK’s Jacob Bultema was whistled for his fourth foul, and picked up a fifth on a technical. Heide promptly hit four straight free throws while standing alone at the foul line to put his team up 55-53. Laker was happy with the way his team got back into the game from there, and throughout the night. “I thought we played extremely hard,” Laker said. 44 We’ve been working on kind of coming together after the first half of the season.

Trojan senior forward Alyssa Weesie scored the first eight points of the second half. She scored the first four on lay-ups, after nabbing — steals at the top of the Trojan's 1-3-1 defense. The next two baskets came on putbacks on the offensive end of the floor. Weesie led all scorers with 14 points, while Kiley Buursma added ten points for the Trojans.

The Trojans came out in their 1-3-1 and it paid off. “It comes in handy to be able to run two of them (zones),” said Bays. Hastings had been struggling offensively coming into the contest already. “We’ve shifted our practices because of it," Hastings head coach Steve Laubaugh said. “We're practicing 85 percent offensive stuff right now. It’s not X’s and O’s. It’s execution. I mean, we can practice it. I just don't know...” The 10-0 run turned a 1714 Saxon lead into a 24-17 Trojan edge.

Feb. 14. which left plenty of time for what may be termed an informal agen­ da using the council com­ ment period at the end of the formal agenda. The formal agenda includ­ ed a petition to stake delin­ quent personal property taxes aged five years or more from the tax rolls after attempts have been made to collect them. Personal prop­ erty taxes arc assessed on equipment used by business­ es in their operations; typi­ cally the subjects arc bank­ rupt or have closed without notice. The motion to strike the taxes from the rolls was approved unanimously. The contract with Richard Pierson, consultant to the vil­ lage for the village sewer system, was renewed after unanimous approval by the council. The contract will run retroactively from Feb I through Dec. 31, 2<)l; Pierson s basic hourly rate of $95 per hour and other terms remain the same as previous contracts for his sen ices. Village Treasurer Jill Harrison reported the capital improvement committee has examined seven possible sites for office space, in addition to the department of public works building at 230 Maple St. She said the com­ mittee was continuing to pur­ sue the cost of renovation in the DPW building for offices, as well an addition to New structure of Algebra i proposed at Thornapple Kellogg school board meeting hy Patricia .Johns Staff Writer At the beginning of the Feb. 14 meeting of the Thornapple Kellogg Board of Education high school stu­ dents Jordan Welton. Iordan Marissa Meycring. Anna Schilz and Brandon Scheck for received certificates receiving national art awards through Kendall College of Art and Design. Meycring was applauded as well for being one of five recipients of the American Vision Award. During the meeting, high school Principal Tony Koski gave a presentation on a pro­ posal to offer Algebra I over three trimesters for students needing extra time. In con­ junction with this, the ‘Math Lab** course would no longer be offered. His presentation was for information only, and the board members took no action on the proposal. “The offering of Algebra II over three trimesters has been very successful.” he said. “As a result.

The high school would will allow for more work to be competed in class, elimi­ nating the big issue of miss­ ing homework assignments for some students. All of these students would be learning the same material at the same time so students will not have to wait for help while the teacher works with students taking a different trimester of the ty- > stn mMTi ml In gnm il aux*) lib orom mortal orfl W1 W<) The extra time will allow for more review at the begin­ ning of the year as well as extra time being spent on more difficult content expec­ tations.

Students who currently take Math Lab for support in both trimesters of Algebra I use up four classes in their schedule. A student taking Algebra I over three Algebra trimesters would use less space in their schedule, tree­ ing up a spot for another class to be taken to earn needed credits for gradua­ tion. “Replacing Math I-ab w ith three trimester Algebra I course would not require any additional staffing.” Koski said. “It may even reduce the number of total needed sec­ tions.” In other business, the board approved spending up to $16,000 from the general fund to purchase a used pick­ up truck for the maintenance department. This truck will replace one which is now rusting out. The next regular meeting of the Thomapple Kellogg Board of Education is March 14.

Glenn Gilbert, village president, said he had attend­ ed the quarterly meeting of the joint sewer committee in January He also attended the opening of the new library and received lots of positive feedback about the facility. He noted attendance at the library has been very good. He said he would like to see its hours of operation expanded beyond the current 35-hour per week. Council member Gary ScbolL liaison to the town­ ship board, reported he had attended two Nxird meet­ ings. noting that the board approved a pay ment to Garrett Smith for the kiosk Hennon the Paul i he 9 Thornapple Trail.

Mark Barber of Valley Drive, addressing the board, asked. “Doesn’t it embarrass you to know you arc one ot three communities that do not pay for library services?” He said a temporary card is available from the Thomapplc Kellogg School Math Lab.” In addition. geometry students have not needed Math Lab for sup- still offer the course as a twotrimester course for students who are not having difficul­ the DPW building or another facility on the DPW site. Evaluations based on both short- and long-term consid­ erations will continue. Sand) Ayers, village clerk I and manager, added. would like to use space at the DPW without an addition. We arc looking for prelimi­ nary estimates ” Hamson said. “The issue is how much space we need.” Ayers commented that the village did not need as much office space as it currently tinued. there is no intcrli- brap loan sconce. Barber said he also objects to the nature of the library which is located in a public school facility, saying that its collection is geared to stu­ dents rather than to adults. He look issue with the matching grant the township • j has received for the develop­ ment of the Yankee Springs Township Park. He said he and his wife have never seen any body using the park. “You’re going to spend $50,000 on a park nobody uses?” Barber asked the board. Richard Beukema also said he was concerned about the limitation on library access. Township Supervisor Al McCrumb responded. “We are working on it.” According to McCrumb, it would cost the township $30,000 to meet the .3 mill request from the Lakeland Library Cooperative. He also disagreed with Barber’s statement about usage, say­ ing people were using the park. The majority of the town­ lies within the ship Thomapplc Kellogg School district, with a small portion within Wavland Union Schools boundaries and a tiny portion within Delton Kellogg schools. The Thomapplc Kellogg Community School and Library serves both students and the community, allowing residents and students within the district full access to the library’s collection and the interlibrary loan services. Thomapplc Kellogg Schools meets the required .3 mill with the combined service. John Rough, a resident who advocates turning town­ ship planning and zoning functions over to the county , pointed out that the money saved ($54,000) would solve the library problem. Shane Resident Vandenberg said he would prefer to see tax dollars spent on planning and zoning go instead to the library . Don DeVries of Flcis and Vandenbrink Engineering. Inc., consultant to the parks and recreation committee, appeared to update the board on the progress made and to explain the design option favored by the committee for the park.

But to do so, we need to make different moves, and consid­ er different issues, at differ­ ent times of our lives. To help illustrate this point, let's look at three individu­ als: Alice, who is just start­ ing her career; Bob, who is nearing retirement; and Charlie, who has recently retired. Let’s start with Alice. As a young worker, Alice most likely has four decades ahead of her until she retires. Yet she realizes that it’s never too soon to start saving for retirement, so she has already begun contributing to her 401 (k) and to an IRA. And since she has so much time ahead of her, she has decided to invest aggressive­ ly, putting much of her con­ tributions in growth-oriented vehicles. The market will certainly have its “dips” in the future, and Alice's •i •» I• 1 11 > k 'I 'A 1 s ;■ ■ ■ '*s F’ account values could rise and fall from year to year, but the longer she holds her invest­ ments, the less of an impact that market extremes should have on her 401 (k), IRA and other accounts. Now let’s turn our atten­ tion to Bob. Since he is with­ in a few years of retirement, he has some key decisions to make. For one thing, he must decide if it’s time to change the investment mix in his IRA, 401(k) and other accounts. Because Bob does­ n’t have much time to over­ come market volatility, and since he’d like to maintain the gains he has already achieved, he may decide to become more conservative investments. with his Consequently, he ne may choose to move some of his investment dollars from stocks to bonds and other securities. fixed-income Realizing, however, that he may spend two or three Are You In Love ...

Furthermore, Bob decides that he may need to bolster his retirement income, so he considers whether an annuity, which is designed to provide him with an income stream he can't outlive, is appropriate for his situation. fcfc life stages" Our final investor is Charlie. He has recently retired, so his biggest concern is making sure he doesn't outlive his financial resources. There­ fore, he may need to consid­ er a variety of moves. For starters, he should determine when to start taking Social Security and when to begin taking withdrawals from his IRA and 401 (k) plans. [For a traditional IRA and a 401(k) or other employer-sponsored plan, Charlie, like all investors, must start taking withdrawals no later than age 701/2.] After deciding when to start taking withdrawals from his retirement plans, he'll also need to calculate how much he can afford to take each year without emp­ tying the accounts. Finally, he might need to rebalance his overall investment port­ folio to provide himself with more income. For help in making the types of choices described above, you may want to work with a financial profes­ sional, but in any case, you need to be prepared to take the right steps, at the right times, to enjoy the retirement lifestyle you've envisioned.

She said that while most of the other high school pole vaulters in the state started learning the sport when they were freshman in high school, she got started when she joined the Thornapple Kellogg Middle School track and field team in seventh grade. “I wasn't very good in middle school. I guess it gives me more experience,” said London Tuesday. She's very good now. Good enough that on Tuesday she signed her National Letter of Intent to join the University of South Florida's Women’s Track *1 and Field Program in the Thornapple Kellogg High School library. “I just didn't have an idea of what I was doing (in mid­ dle school)/’ London said. “I was just new to it.” She wasn’t sure how good she could be at the event when she started vaulting for the varsity team two years later, but made huge strides as a freshman. Her middle school personal record (PR) was 8 feet 6 inches. By the end of her freshman year she’d pushed her PR to 10-6. “In high school I got more coaching, and got two feet better than what I’d been doing,'' London said. “That was a big difference.” She said that her current best jump is 12-6. London has qualified for the Division 2 State Finals in all three of her varsity sea­ sons, earning state medals as a sophomore and a junior. In 2009 she placed fifth at the state finals with a jump of 10-8. In 2010, she placed eighth at the state finals by clearing 10-9. She went on her official visit to the school in October, and said it just felt right. “I met the pole vault coach and the head coach and I met some of the seniors that are graduating,” London said. “They're really great and really nice too.” London also spent time as a part of the TK varsity com­ petitive cheer team durin £ her high school years. * Sift $ - § S’ I �The Sun and News, Saturday, February 19, 2011/ Page 21 Two more Troians added to Siena Heights roster by Brett Bremer Sports Editor The Siena Heights coach­ es may have to start organiz­ ing some kind of shuttle Adrian between and Middleville. Thomapple Kellogg sen­ iors Jacob Bultema and Korey Carpenter signed their National Letters of Intent Friday (Feb. 11) to join the Saints’ inaugural football team Friday in the Thornapple Kellogg High School library, following the lead of classmate and team­ mate Tyler Karcher who did so a week earlier. Siena Heights’ linebacker coach Matt Kohn who attended the signing, said that having three players from the same school isn't too rare, but that having three scholarship-players from the same varsity team is.

They were all leaders for coach's foot­ ball team here." Kohn said that he's been to many of these signing day events recently, while trying to build up the Saints' pro­ gram, but Friday's had the best atmosphere of any yet. That was due in large part to what Bultema has done over his high school career.

Mrs. Woods' second grade students made the hike up from Lee Elementary for the signing day, bringing with them their enthusiasm as well as a bunch of home made signs. “Siena Heights has a great education program," Bultema said. “That's what I'm interested in going in to, and maybe specializing in special education too. I could also play football for a cou­ ple more years too, I've always wanted the opportu­ nity to play a couple more years.” This group of Trojan sen- iors knows a little something about building up a program. The varsity team went 0-9 when the current senior class was in eighth grade. The Trojan varsity football team then went 1-8 in 2007, 1-8 in 2008 and 2-7 in 2009. Last fall, TK improved to 8-2, winning an O-K Gold Conference Championship and qualifying for the state play-offs. “It was basically just hard work in the offseason,” Carpenter said of improving the Trojan program. “We decided we were going to step up and get it done, working as a team. both Kohn said that Bultema and Carpenter have an opportunity to come to Siena Heights and be fouryear starters for the new pro­ gram.

M-43 Highway, Hastings, Ml 49058 136th year Caledonia Schools’ finance picture is bleak by Fran Faverman Staff Writer The Caledonia Community Schools District Board of Education and dis­ trict administrators will have their work cut out for them if Governor Rick Snyder's pro­ posed education budget passes without major alter­ ations. Some of the work was laid out for them and the audience at the regular monthly meeting of ’ the board Tuesday evening when it met at the Caledonia Elementary School. District superintendent Jerry Phillips in his report on the state of the school dis­ trict, said that the proposed cut in state aid of $470 per pupil means, "a cut of $2 million to Caledonia." As bad as that is, there is more to follow, according to Phillips who said that for the coming school budget year, rIT unoD il£O0 > loii) lisrlJ avoD iseoq 922£q noiifi 1 2SW 9ibufi inom DTJGOd m li msIH iQ vnal z srti Joni li luo liquq )illim zA oiom illrrfq imo3 the shortfall is estimated to be $3.4 million. For the forthcoming budg­ et year 2011-2012, which must be in finalized by June 30, the state has increased from 20.6 percent to 24.5 percent the rate of contribu­ tion from the district to the state teachers' retirement system. Because of the suc­ cess of the incentive program in persuading teachers with higher salaries to retire and their replacement by younger teachers, the dollar amount will remain constant at $700,000 and even decline slightly in the 2012-2013 budget year. Nevertheless as the new faculty ages in the system, the amount will begin to rise. Another factor is the amount needed to meet obli­ gations in the salary sched­ ule. The salary schedule pro­ vides for graded increases as A teachers remain in the sys­ tem. For the 2011-2012 budget year, the estimate is that $700,000 will be needed to meet those obligations. These numbers do not take into account any increase in other operating costs such as the cost of health insurance, liability insurance, and fuel costs. Phillips predicts that at some point the district will start having to dip into its reserve fund or fund balance, which currently is estimated to be $9,233,251 at the end of the present budget year.

Nineteen administrators were recognized individually and presented with gifts by Phillips and Dr. Carol assistant Nelson-Purkey, superintendent for personnel.

February 26. 2011 ” - Caledonia board of trus tees hears concerns by Fran Faverman Staff Writer At its meeting Wednesday, Feb. 16, the Caledonia Township Board of Trustees heard concerns from two residents ranging from how much parkland is enough to the need for a 4 streetlight at Alaska Avenue and Rodao Road. Ed Fischer, a Caledonia resident who consistently attends meetings, used the initial public comment peri­ od to express his concerns. Leadin off his list was praise for the new library. “The new library is beauti­ ful. You guys did a good job,” he said before he com­ mented about parking issues on the first day of operations and a desire for expanded hours of operation. Although the item was not •It yet on the board ’s agenda, Fischer went on to discuss a proposal submitted by TM Partners LLC for rezoning of the Crossroads of Caledonia development, a project oper­ ating under a much modified consent judgment since 2(X)1. Nearly every project within the development that requires any alteration of • • A space requires a trip to the Kent County Circuit Court by the developer and the township. “The developer dragged us into court. It was his choice,” said Fischer. “The advantage was he was forced to be more careful about choices. We have a Hollywood sound set; we have 21 condos with only five sold. Look at it carefult.

Advantage Medical wanted to build a facility in the development to serve its patients but only nine condos had been built. Taking aim at the letter of intent received from the Peter Den Hartigh family proposing to donate 200 acres along the Thomapple River to the township for use as a park, Fischer asked, “How much parkland does Caledonia need? Yeah, it’s nice to get a gift, but do we need it? It’s easy, and you take it off the tax rolls. You still have to tax the rest of us. I think that is unfair. You know the saying, ‘Beware of freebies,”’ Supervisor Bryan •A Harrison began his response saying that the library’s LEED certification requires the ability to expand; he agreed with Fischer about AA _ — expanding the hours of oper­ ation and would be talking to the Kent District Library board. My personal view is we can never have too much parkland,” said Harrison. “The Den Hartigh property as residential does not pay for itself. Off the tax rolls, it does not use services.” Don Koopmans, trustee and board liaison to the plan­ ning commission, addressed the rezoning of Crossroads. 64 Leaving Crossroads to deteriorate be would unwise,” he said. He noted that the economy had hurt TM Partners. He added that the age 50-pIus restriction would be maintained. “It is in our own best interest to move it along.” Moving onto its regular agenda, the board took up items concerningI 4 the Caledonia Fire Department. Koopmans who is also chair of the public safety advisory advisor}' committee which oversees the department, announced that a firetruck replaced last year by a newer vehicle had been sold to a community in Minnesota for $75,000. The board had approved sale of the vehicle several months ago. Fire Chief Brian Bennett explained a request to hire a professional grant writer for $1,600, say in 4 that other communities have used a grant writer. The initial cost reflects the need to gather certain kinds of data that can be used for other applica­ tions, as well. He said the department was asking for assistance with writing an application for a Federal Emergency Management Agency grant to permit the installation of a system for exhausting4 diesel fumes from the parking area in the fire bam. At the time the space was renovated, an exhaust system was not installed because of the esti­ mated cost of $70,000 to $100,000.

Township Clerk Jennifer Christian explained a pro­ posal to install a card entry system at the fire station. The contract has an estimat­ ed cost of $5,812. She said the installation could cost more, depending on the wiring needed. The system will have a battery back-up system until the generator provides power. The contract was approved unanimously. The last request from the department was for the approval of a quote from Thomview Electric Co. for $1,065 to install a lighting fixture and add switches and an outlet in the training room, The * request was approved. Ron Baum presented a request from homeowners in the Riverland Ranch and Riverland Ridge subdivi­ sions for a streetlight to be installed near the intersection of Alaska Avenue and Rodao Drive. He said his concern is dusk and nighttime safety, noting that the intersection is a high-traffic area and that people have difficulty find­ •It ­ ing the entrance to the subdi vision. The intersection joins two public roads, and the cost of the light and its main­ tenance, in his view, should be the responsibility of the township. Trustee Dale Hermenet, on learning that Baum had •I* not consulted his neighbors before going to the board with his proposal, said he wanted to delay any action until getting some input from other residents. Treasurer Township Richard Robertson said he had received some calls but the tow nship does not have a specific policy on streetlights. “We don’t think there should be a streetlight at every intersection;'* he said. “We are rural. Are kids wait­ ing in the dark for a school bus?” Koopmans commented, “I drive the area three or four times a day. There is lots of asphalt. I’m surprised people miss the entrance. ... I want information: we can t more information; put one on every intersection of public roads.” Robertson added that he was not in favor of street lights for convenience, Trustee Greg Zoller said he lives in Golf Meadow and that 120 children cross 76th Street in the dark to get to the •It ­ bus stop. He feels his subdi vision has a true safety issue. No action was taken by the board on the request. In its final action, the board heard a first reading of two amendments needed for the recently passed reauthorization of the PILOT (payment in lieu of taxes) ordi­ nance for the second Porter Hills project. Robertson explained that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) had issued several changes to the rules. He said most of them involved definitions, but they had to be approved in communities by March 1. A special meeting one week from the board meeting would need to be held to meet the requirement for a second reading before an ordinance can be voted upon. He did not know when the special meeting would be held but observed that it would be posted on the township website to comply with the Open Meetings Act. During the final public comment period, three stu­ from dents Davenport University addressed the board on the Tunnels of Oppression project. The project is a community sen­ ice project for Audrey Kotytko, Nick Shuster and Thomas Davis. The event will be held in conjunction with a lecture by Rebecca Skloot, Skloot, author of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, March 21 at 6:30 p.m. in the Kentwood Public Library, 4950 Breton SE. In the board comment period, Harrison reported that a draft of the Downtown Development Authority study would soon be available and that several activities were being4 planned for the Independence Day Celebration June 25. Robertson said more train­ ing and work was going to be done on the new technology used in the meeting room. The next meeting of the board will be Wednesday, March 2, at 7 p.m. in the township offices at 8192 Broadmoor Ave. - J * $ ■ w I* TK juniors get free breakfast by Patricia Johns Staff Writer Juniors at Thornapple Kellogg High School will be treated to a free breakfast in the high school cafeteria at 7:35 a.m. Tuesday, March 1.

The company has changed the start of the renewal to April 1 to coordinate with the township's budget year. The township has received a .5 percent discount, as well.

He also told the board that TTES is recharging the 73 aluminum oxygen tanks it ow ns so that over the next six months, the tanks can go back into service. In 2000, TTES purchased the lighter carbon fiber tanks through funds from a grant. These tanks will have to be replaced in 2015. Middleton explained that while the full carbon fiber tanks are 15 pounds lighter, “we are becoming physically fit, so getting the aluminum tanks back into service allows us to be fiscally fit." He told the board it would cost $25 to $30 to have each tank hydrostatically charged, which is required by OSHA if the tanks are in the build­ ing. c? T> £ J -yti al**’’ Mike Patterson, board of education president, said, "Our group of administrators can compete with any." He singled out Phillips, who started in the district in 1973 as fifth grade teacher at Dutton Elementary, and said, "You have heart and her­ itage." David Nemmers, board member, addressing the administrators, said, "You care about the children and the community." Debra McCarty, board secretary, added, "You do a phenomenal job." It is the custom in Caledonia for most formal board meetings during the academic year to open with a presentation by students or faculty from the host school. The student council of Elementary Caledonia School, represented by members from grades four tridges, a food drive, a talent show in January, and con­ ducted a Pajama Day in February.

A J ■! p: I *■ I IX LANSING While schools are the key to pro­ ducing Michigan’s next gen­ eration of skilled workers, education doesn’t start and stop at the classroom door. A new report recently released concludes that other supports needed by children are unraveling. dots Connecting the between education and other areas of children's lives is the theme of Kids Count in Michigan Data Book 2010: The Education Connection. The annual Kids Count book looks at data trends in 15 areas and ranks the 83 coun­ ties based on the recent rates. “We can't look at our edu­ cation system in isolation. Michigan must make sure children are healthy and have adequate economic support and that a strong child wel­ fare system is in place to pro­ tect children,” said Jane Zehnder-Merrell, director of the Kids Count in Michigan . project at the Michigan League for Human Services. “Unfortunately, the data show that support systems are strained and overloaded — we’re not keeping up with the needs of kids." Chief among the risk fac­ tors is the dramatic increase in poverty with roughly one in every five children in »!• Michigan living in poverty. The rates are much higher for children of color: Nearly one out of every two African American children and more than one out of three Hispanic children live in poverty. »!• Another indicator of eco­ nomic trouble is the rising number of children eligible for free and reduced-price lunch. Eligibility is pegged at 185 percent of poverty — roughly $40,000 a year or less for a family of four. The rate jumped 26 percent in just three years, rising from 36 percent of children in 2006 to nearly 46 percent in 2009. Additionally, the state experienced a sharp rise - 25 percent - in the rate of con­ firmed victims of abuse and neglect between 2000 and 2009. A federal report finds that 90 percent of the cases are due to neglect, often made worse by poverty. Overall, Michigan has improved on eight measures, but worsened on six. A com­ parison could not be made on one indicator because the data has changed. The biggest statewide erosion in child well-being was in the area of economic security, while the biggest improve­ ments were in scores on the state Michigan Educational Assessment Program tests, though national comparisons show that MEAP reading standards are well below national standards. And while the new Data Book shows a 25 percent decrease in the number of high school dropouts from 2007 to 2009, there remain 16,124 teens who left school without a diploma in 2009. “These kids are at greater risk of unemployment, poverty, substance abuse, incarceration, and poor health - all of which will cost the state and communi­ ties,” said Jack Kresnak, President & CEO of Michigan’s Children, a part­ ner in the Kids Count release. “The decrease in the overall number of dropouts is great, but offer can’t Michigan employers its best possible workforce until all students achieve at least a minimal education with a high school diploma." Cuts in recent years have hurt, including family preservation programs, child abuse and neglect preven­ tion, income supports to des­ perately poor households, teen parent counseling and subsidized child care for low-wage working parents. In addition, a proposed elim­ ination of the state Earned Income Tax Credit would push more children into poverty. tC This report speaks clear­ ly — we need to invest in children, making sure that they have what they need to succeed in school and in life,” said Michigan League for Human Services President & CEO Gilda Z. Jacobs. “We cannot afford to keep cutting programs that help grow our next genera­ tion of skilled workers and taxpayers.” Reporting History for the Future in 6 Barry « County Area Newspapers i L 1 • Lakewood News • Maple Valley News • Middleville-Caledonia Sun & News • Reminder • Hastings Banner ■» 1 iTiTi III Papers Over 64,000 Distributed Every Week!

Michigan drivers can visit www.drivemi.org and sub­ mit pothole locations, photos and comments to the Michigan Infrastructure and Transportation Association (MITA), the road industry group sponsoring the new reporting system. MITA will gather the information to cre­ ate a new statewide Google Map containing user-submitted pothole locations, photos, and comments. User-submit­ ted pothole locations will appear on a map at MITA’s website, www.drivemi.org. The map will appear this week when MITA receives pothole submissions from residents around the state.

Businesses and organizers had events for people with all different tastes, from wine tasting to pizza-eating contests, to children's games, to the polar dip and swim suit fashion show, to the winter balloon glow show, a mock jail and more. The only events canceled due to the weather were the co-ed softball and ice tee golf tournaments, which were to be played out on the lake, and the tug-of-war competition. According to Linda Boyce, co-chairperson for Winterfest, about 1,500 peo­ ple took part in festivities throughout the three-day event. The polar dip was just as popular as ever this year, she said, with about 170 peo­ ple jumping into the icy waters of Gun Lake. Business owners around the lake also said they had non-stop customers Friday and Saturday, said Boyce, and the Barry County Transit trolley saw a lot of use, with families taking advantage of free transportation between venues.

Based on principles that have made customer service a bottom-line at Zingerman's, their approach to treating the customer like royalty lays out the steps they teach their own staff and others on giving great service and to effectively handle customer complaints. Full of tips and tools that are easy to understand and implement, this workshop is ideal for organizations in any industry seeking to address, improve or refine great cus- Good dental health habits should start early is February National Children’s Dental Health Month, and the Barry-Eaton District Health Department wants to encourage families to take care of their dental health. Good dental hygiene habits should begin before a child’s first tooth appears. Wiping the baby’s gums with a soft damp cloth after feedings helps to prevent buildup of bacteria. When teeth appear, parents should start using a soft children’s toothbrush twice a day. Once a child is preschool-age, he or she should start using flu­ oride toothpaste; a pea-sized amount is just right. Young children tend to swallow most of the toothpaste, and swallowing too much fluo­ ride toothpaste can cause permanent stains on their w• teeth. A child might be at risk for cavities if he or she eats a lot of sugary foods, such as raisins, cookies and candy or drinks a lot of sweet liquids, such as fruit juice and punch, soda and sweetened drinks. A child also might be at risk if he or she has any of the following risk factors: • Was born prematurely or had a low birth weight. • Has ongoing special health care needs. • Has white spots or brown areas on any teeth. • Does not go to the dentist often. Everyone in the family should take good care of their teeth. Family members with lots of cavities can pass the cavity-causing bacteria to babies and children. Teeth should be brushed twice a day, and adults should floss daily. Everyone should see the dentist twice a year. A doctor or dentist can show a patient the right way to brush a child’s teeth. The American Dental Association recommends that parents take their chil­ dren to a dentist around their first birthday. This gives the dentist a chance to look for early problems. Pediatric dentists specialize in treating children. The dentist should review important information about diet, bottles, tooth brushing and fluoride use. Visiting a dentist from a young age will help a child become comfort­ able with his or her dentist. It also establishes the habit of regular dental check-ups. Thornapple Players hosting ‘Crazy for You’ auditions The Thornapple Players will hold auditions Tuesday, March 8, at 7 p.m. for the Gershwin musical “Crazy for You.” Anyone in Barry County or surrounding areas is wel­ come to audition.

Michigan's winter is far from over, and the season creates a challenge for local residents who cannot afford to pay energy bills during prolonged heating seasons. Winter increases the number of people who make illegal adjustments to their propane tanks or allow their tanks to run dry in an attempt to save money. As a result, they are putting themselves and their neighbors at risk for property damage, bodily injury or even death. Risky behaviors of some propane customers include: • Using rags, tape and eP°xY to stoP leaks in gas lines. • Storing propane cylin­ ders inside bams, homes or patchwork of agencies involved in energy assistance including the Michigan Department of Human Services and the Salvation Army to name a few. The Michigan Association of Fire Chiefs supports MPGA’s efforts to promote ■/ v if <p ? !<< & a £ | portable cylinders. • Connecting portable cylin­ ders to home heating systems. “Propane is a safe source of fuel when handled properly, but human ignorance and carelessness can make propane volatile,” said Michigan Propane Gas Association President Dave Biggs. “Changing a propane tank’s design is unsafe and makes its safety valves inop­ erable.” Heating assistance is available to propane users by going to www.HeatingMyHome.org. In addition to propane safety, this site provides Michigan consumers with information on how to apply for federal, state and local home heating assistance.

We know that we will not sur­ vive if we keep our cus­ tomers just satisfied enough so they don't complain.” Zingerman's approach to service is a tangible concept of service that can be defined, taught, lived, meas­ ured and rewarded.

The Panthers finish the regular season by winning 15 of their last 16 games and conclude with an overall mark of 26-4 and 13-3 in conference play. A three-pointer by WHAC Player of the Year Nathan Cox with 2:08 to play in the second overtime gave DU a three-point cushion that they never let up and Lonnie Fairfax combined with Zach Ycagy to hit three of four foul shots in the final 41 sec­ onds to ice the three-point win over the Golden Eagles. The last time these two teams played on January 19. it marked the only loss for Davenport since December 22. Cornerstone used a late first half surge in that game and eventually won by eight (84-76). Saturday it was the Panthers who finished the first half with an 8-0 nm to take a 44-36 lead heading into the locker nxim. I'he largest lead of the game up to that point was a 6-point cushion that DI1 held with three straight buckets to open the game. Cornerstone clamped down on defense and tcxik their first lead at 2019 and held onto it until a Nathan Cox layup with 3:11 to play. The Golden Eagles then came out on fire to open the second half as they erased the 8-point halftime margin in only 7:24 of game clock to lake a one point lead at 5453. The lead then went right back to DU on a jumper from Kale Waaso and the Panthers extended the margin back to eight with 7:14 remaining. The back and forth second with half continued Cornerstone using a 10-2 nm over the next 3:53 to tie the score at 68. With the score still tied at 72 with under ten seconds. Cornerstone got a KO good look from behind the arc but the ball nmmed in and out but Brian Pasciak grabbed the loose ball for CU and laid the ball in plus the foul with five seconds. After a missed free-throw. DU got the rebound and called time­ out to set up one final play. James Nelson got ball in the backcourt and drove the length of the floor where he was fouled with 0.9 seconds to play. The junior nailed both shots to send the game into overtime. The tight contest contmued in the first overtime with neither team holding a lead of greater than three and Davenport held the ball with just under 10 seconds to play after a jumper from CU’s Kelvin DeVries lied the score at 85. The Panthers were unable to get a good look at the basket and the game would head into the second extra period. An early three-pointer from gave Pasciak Cornerstone an 88-85 lead by DU came right back with a three-point play the hard way as Lonnie Fairfax converted the and one. The foul was whistled on Cornerstone’s Caleb Simons and that became a huge turning point for the remainder of the game. After trailing by one. 9190, with 2:36 to play.

Caledonia’s varsity boys’ basketball team managed to pull out a 38-34 victory over visiting Thornapple Kellogg Tuesday. The Trojans turned the ball over 17 times. Caledonia shot just 19 percent from the floor in the first half. The two teams combined to go one of 15 from three-point range. “That was exactly what I expected after going four days without being in the gym,” said Caledonia head coach Todd Bloemers, who's team is now 8-10 overall and . 6-7 in the O-K Gold j Conference after adding a 4945 win over Forest Hills Eastern Friday. The Fighting Scots wiped out a 21-12 half-time deficit with a 10-0 run to start the second half against TK. The two teams were then back and forth throughout the rest of the second half. The Trojans' Jared Stolicker pulled down an offensive rebound on the backside and went back up for two points with I minute and 41 seconds to play, giving his team a 34-32 lead. Caledonia's Paul TenHarmsel tied the contest back up with a pull-up jumper 20 seconds later then hit four free throws in the final minute to score the game's final points. TenHarmsel had all ten of the Scots’ free throw makes in the contest and finished with 18 points, four assists and four steals. That put-back by Stolicker was his only field goal of the second half. He led TK with Thornapple Kellogg’s Jared Stolicker (left) and Caledonia s Anthony Cooley battled for possession of a rebound during Tuesday night’s O-K Gold Conference contest at Caledonia High School. (Photo by Brett Bremer) 12 points, ten rebounds and ^ree shots, but had 9 < a a Just l^ree P°’nts in the second half. €4 Our big guys love a chai^enSe an^ he s the biggest challenge we face all season,’’ said Bloemers. “He’s a tremendous talent around the basket, and you can’t practice ^or They accepted the challenge and our goal was to make life difficult for him. That's all you try and do for great players. The defensive load was shared by Anthony Cooley, Jonathan Meerman and Michael Ruddock as well as the guards who had the job of making it tough for TK's backcourt to get the ball into the post. Cooley finished with six points and six rebounds, with five of those boards coming on the offensive end. Ruddock also added six points for the Scots. Meerman had two points and seven rebounds. “They've got some size down low, and they can push him out to seven, eight, nine feet,’’ said TK head coach Lance Laker. “They were pushing him out to eight, nine feet and kind of taking him out of his game a little bit. Early on we had some guards hit shots, so it wasn't such a bad thing." While the Scots struggled shooting the basketball in the first half, TK's shooting per­ centage fell to 25 percent in the second half. The Trojans did get nine points and five rebounds from Greg Hamilton and seven points Ill and four rebounds from Coley McKeough. “I really was proud of my guys and the effort,” Laker said. “We've had a rededica­ tion to the way we defend. Tonight I think it showed." TK ends the O-K Gold Conference season with a 113 mark, and is 5-14 overall after a 60-46 loss at home against Ottawa Hills Friday.

Foster, a junior, and Flynn, a sophomore, finished off their day at Hamilton by scoring decisions that earned the regional championships at 285 and 112 pounds respectively. “There are those who have natural talent and are begin­ ning to realize it, and there are those who are willing to bust their butt to get it,” said TK head coach Aaron Tabor. “Adrian is starting to realize his potential, and Flynn is too. Potential is only poten­ tial until you choose to do something with it.” The top four from region­ al across the state Saturday earned spots in the state finals. pinned Spring Flynn Lake’s George Nietering 1:26 into their opening round match at I 12 pounds.

(Photo by Brett Bremer) i i i J most high school athletes. Winchester though already has her goals laid out for the upcoming varsity track and field season. “I just want to win a state championship. That’s been my goal since freshman year,’' Winchester said, “and to get the mile-record. It’s my last shot at that too.” Winchester holds the record for the best cross country time ever by a Trojan, and holds the track team's 3200-meter record. There has been added motivation to break both those records, as well as for her continued pursuit of the 1600-meter record, by the fact that her older sister Rebecca held all three of those records before Allyson broke the first two. Allyson and Rebecca will team up at Grand Valley State University this fall, where Rebecca has one sea­ son of eligibility left to run ft I’*"1 for the Laker Women’s Cross Country team which won its first ever Division II National Championship in 2010. The Lakers were also the national runners-up in 2005, 2008 and 2009 and were third in 2007. Allyson said she hopes to earn one of the scoring places in the Laker line-up as a freshman. “They're losing quite a few seniors, three of four out of the top seven,” said Allyson. “There are quite a few good freshmen going in too. It’ll be close. It'll be a good team.” “I was there this year when they won (the National Championship). It was really exciting. I'd like to be a part of that.” Allyson said she plans on also running indoor and out­ door track for Grand Valley, all while working on a PreVeterinary degree. • JliM ija’s ,8^ I jriis I art '■'I A- 1 V Mt Thornapple Kellogg Athletic Boosters WLI Wk Second Annual to.

March 5. 2011/ Page 9 Financial Focus Furnished by Drew McFadden of Edward Jones and Co. • (616) 891-1173 Need to boost retirement income? Consider variable annuities Here’s a sobering statistic: 46 percent of workers sur­ veyed had little or no confi­ dence that they will have enough money to live com­ fortably throughout their retirement years, according to the 2010 Retirement Confidence Survey, issued by the Employee Benefit Research Institute. So you may want to explore all pos­ sible retirement savings vehicles —including a vari­ able annuity. Generally speaking, when saving for retirement, it’s a % ood idea to contribute as much as possible UK to your IRA and your 401 (k) or other employer-sponsored retire­ ment plan. But if you’ve fully funded those plans for the year, and you still have some money left to invest, you may want to consider a variable annuity, which offers these benefits: • Tax deferred earnings — Your variable annuity's earnings have the opportuni­ ty to grow tax-deferred, which means your invest­ ment dollars can accumulate faster than if they were placed in an investment on which you paid taxes every year. When you eventually make withdrawals, your earnings will be taxed at your ordinary income lax rate. (For non-qualified annuities, you won’t have to pay additional taxes on the amount you contributed.) There arc no tax advantages to investing in a variable qualified with annuity money. • Variety of investment options offer diversification b <2^ I — Variable annuities allow individuals to invest in sev­ eral different professionally managed investments, known as “subaccounts. subaccounts.” You can choose the subac­ counts that best fit your risk tolerance, time horizon and long-term objectives. Keep in mind, though, that diversi­ fication does not guarantee a profit or protect against a loss. • No contribution limits — Each year, you can con­ tribute far more to a variable annuity than you can to your 401 (k) and your IRA. In fact, you can contribute virtually unlimited amounts to your annuity. • Payout flexibility — A variable annuity provides you with flexibility in gain­ ing access to your money. You could, for instance, col­ lect a lump sum. But you might find it more advantaeous to take your payments over a specified number of years. You could even choose to receive a lifetime income stream. • Guaranteed death benefit - If you die, your beneficiary is usually guaranteed the amount originally invested, minus previous withdrawals. Some variable annuities offer death benefit options, which may increase the death benefit over time. Guarantees are based on the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company. While variable annuities do offer some key advan­ tages, there are also some considerations to discuss with your financial advisor before investing. For one thing, variable annuities are not suitable for everyone. A variable annuity is unques­ tionably a long-term invest­ ment. In fact, you may be assessed a surrender charge if you pull money out of the contract within the first sev­ eral years after you purchase it. However, some variable annuities allow you to with­ draw a portion of your investment, such as 10 percent of your purchase payments without incurring a surrender charge, while oth­ ers allow full withdrawals, 'J Another point to keep in mind is that if you tap into your annuity before you reach age 59-1/2, you may be hit with a 10 percent early withdrawal penally. One final note: A variable annuity is just that — vari­ able. The value of your annuity will go up and down, % based on what's happening in the financial markets, and there’s no guarantee that your annuity won't lose principal. Also, variable annu­ ities vary greatly in their terms, features and fees, so. before investing, you’d better shop around. Consult with your financial advisor to determine which variable annuity is most appropriate for your needs. Ultimately, though, you may well find that a variable annuity may be the final piece to your retirement income puzzle.

Saturday, March 5, 2011 Local resident publishes novel for teenagers When Reginald Raab graduated from Thomapple Kellogg High School in 1983, he didn’t know that Wayland sixth graders would be laughing at a book he would write in 2010. His students don’t have to wait for a special author visit once a year to learn about writing; they have the luxury of being taught by a pub­ lished author every day. Raab, a sixth grade lan­ guage arts and social studies teacher at Pine Street Elementary School in Wayland, recently published his novel Surviving Me. The humorous, fictional story, set in Middleville, is geared toward students in fifth through 12th grades. Adults may find it entertain­ ing, as well. fhe novel is about a teenager named Ben who lives in a small town where there’s no chance to keep his mishaps under wraps. When he discovers a family secret, his friends help him uncover the truth. “When my class was reading a draft copy of my book, it was great to hear bursts of laughter coming from some of my students,” said Raab. “It’s great to see the kids’ reaction to the ■►■■ .

Under a state law that became effective Dec. 31, 2010, motorists ticketed for offenses such as speeding, improper passing or disobey­ ing a stop sign may qualify to have points from the cita­ tion kept from going on their driving records by complet­ ing a course and paying court fines and costs.

The first notices to eligible drivers were mailed last month, Johnson said, and they have the option of tak­ ing a course online or in a classroom. Currently, 10 course providers are approved by the state who offer the required defensive driving curriculum. “This program offers a strong incentive to those who have received a traffic viola­ tion to improve their skills and become safer drivers,” Johnson said. “It gives them •!• the pointers they need and takes away the points they don’t.” “These drivers are still being held accountable, but in a way that safeguards i against future violations,” she added. Eligible drivers have 60 days to arrange for and pass the course and may retake it as many times as necessary within that time. The provider electronically noti­ fies the Secretary of State whether drivers pass or fail. If a driver ultimately does not pass, the points go on his or her record. If he or she passes, the department of state will not add any points. I .The fee for the course is I determined by the provider. with the total not to exceed $100. Drivers are still responsible for paying fines 9 and court costs involved in the traffic violation. The course may only be used once to avoid points.

Staff Writer Snow delayed the class, but Cooking with KandA welcomed local chefs with “Recipes Yo’ Mama Never Shared But Probably Should Have” in the Thornapple Kellogg High School cooking room March 1.

There is no cost for this cooking class which Briggs and Ruger give several times a year through community Ieducation. It is underwritten by McKeown, Kraai & Phillips PLC.

Saturday, March 5, 2011/ Page 19 TK can't find shooting touch in district defeat by Brett Bremer I V "w|i’4| / 1 Sports Editor The Trojans couldn't get the ball to go through the basket. Thornapple Kellogg's var­ sity girls' basketball team fell 48-35 to Delton Kellogg in the Class B District Semifinals at Lakewood High School Wednesday. Junior forward Shelby Tedrow dropped in a shot with just over 15 seconds left in the first quarter to tally the Trojans’ first two points •a of the contest. The 13-0 run to start the game by Delton Kellogg proved to be enough to carry the Panthers to vic­ tory. “We knew going in they were strong, Delton Kellogg head coach Mike Mohn said. “That's probably the strongest team we have played all season long. They didn't shoot very well tonight, and that helped us. I don't think much of that was because of us." The Trojans were way off on three threes in the first minute and a half of the con­ test. Trojan head coach Jessee Bays would have liked to see his girls get the ball inside more often. “I would guess we shot about 20-percent (from three),’’ said Bays. “You've got to be able to drive the ball to the basket. That was one of the things all year, to get the guards to step up and do that." Delton Kellogg’s lead grew to as many as 16 points in the second quarter, and the Panthers ended the first half up 20-11. Andrea Polley had nine points in the first half for the Panthers, and finished Thornapple Kellogg’s Kiley Buursma slows down Delton Kellogg’s Adrianna Culbert on her way to the basket during the second quarter Wednesday at Lakewood High School.

Brooke Martin hit five of seven foul shots and finished with seven points and three assists. The Trojans were just seven of 17 at the foul line for the night.

Down 5-0 after two, the likelihood of a comeback was slim. When the host Falcons scored the first two goals of the third period, it was pretty much over. East Kentwood scored a 91 victory over the Lowell/Caledonia varsity hockey team in Division I Pre-Regional at action Kentwood Ice Arena Tuesday, bringing to an end an excellent season for the Lowell/Caledonia (L/C) boys. L/C scored three more wins during the 2010-11 sea­ son than in the previous cam­ paign, finishing with an overall record of 14-11. L/C was 9-3 in the O-K Conference Tier III, tied for second place behind South Christian. “They're pretty good,” * L/C coach Tim Beurer said of East Kentwood. “Number eight on their team (Brett White) I think he had some­ thing ridiculous like 70some points on the season. We kind of went in with a plan to slow him down. He didn't do too much on the scoreboard, well he scored a lot of points, but we did what we could do.” East Kentwood had three players with at least four points. White was one of them, recording two goals and three assists. He scored the game's first goal, at the 6:16 mark of the first period, putting a shot through L/C keeper Nate Propst who had a crowd in front of him. Erik Stapleton had two goals and four assists for the Falcons, and Trent Bravata one goal and three assists. East Kentwood also got sin­ gle goals • from Ross McBride, Geoff Dykstra, Noah Baldwin and Cody Antonini. .. “You just try to get them to play for one another,” said Beurer. “I thought we had a legitimate chance if we could keep it close. For the first two periods at 2, 3, even 4-0 I thought we still had a chance.” * * ’ Lowell/Caledonia goalie Nate Propst stretches to his stick side to deflect a Kentwood shot during the third period Tuesday night.

East Kentwood picked up the pace from there though, and would outshoot L/C 29-10 the rest of the way. East Kentwood goalie Daniel Leahy stopped all ten shots that came his way. “I’ve got to give props, no pun intended, to our goal­ tender (Nate Propst),” Beurer said. “He played well. 35 shots on goal, they could have easily gone up eight goals in the second period. L/C’s Tyler Bitterman scored his team’s lone goal, poking the puck through the Falcons' back-up goalie Zack Casavant at the 7:21 mark of the third period to make the score 7-1. Brandon Jamieson and Zack Hoffman assisted on the goal. Kentwood closed out the game with goals by Bravata at the nine' minute mark and Antonini at the 11:04 mark of the third period. Bitterman is one of ten seniors on the roster L/C ros­ ter this season. Beurer said he was very impressed with the group's leadership quali­ ties both on and off the ice. “I know this isn't the out­ come any of us wanted. It's part of life. I told the seven guys (coming back next year) look, when we come back there's a lot of work to do.” The L/C boys closed out their regular season with back-to-back wins over West Ottawa and the Northwest Warriors last weekend. Bitterman had ten points in the two contests, including three goals and three assists in the 7-6 win over West Ottawa in Holland Saturday. L/C scored the only three goals of the third period to earn the come-from-behind victory. Jordan Swift and Dennis Echelbarger assisted Bitterman on the game-win­ ner with just under five min­ utes remaining in the game. West Ottawa had led the game 3-1 after one period, and 6-4 at the end of two. Braden McGillicuddy ■z: $ opened the third period scor­ ing for L/C, then Echelbarger scored a shorthanded goal to tie it up. Karson Arnold found the back of the net twice in the contest for L/C. Echelbarger had three assists, and Swift had two. Propst played well down the stretch for L/C in goal. Bitterman had three goals and one assist in the 9-1 sen­ ior night win by the L/C boys against the Northwest Warriors Friday (Feb. 25). Adam Hubert chipped in two goals, Arnold had three assists. “It was a great way for them, and the entire team to end the home portion of our season with a win in front of the fans,” Beurer said. “The players even provided a great salute to their fans at the end of the game as a way of say­ ing ‘thank you' for their sup­ port all season.” L/C scored the last nine goals of the game, after Northwest jumped to a 1-0 lead in the first two minutes of the first period.

Skywarn is a concept developed in the early 1970s that was intended to promote a cooperative effort between the National Weather Service and communities. The emphasis of the effort is often focused on storm spot­ ters, individuals who take positions near their commu­ nities and report wind gusts, hail size, rainfall and cloud formations that could signal a developing tornado. The spotters’ main role is to alert all citizens to the threat of incoming inclement weather, as early as possible. Weather reports from trained spotters are used along with Doppler radar data to issue warnings tornadoes, of severe thunderstorms and flash floods.

Duane Weeks will take over as director of the DPW April 1. The village also will interview and hire an equip­ ment operator for the depart­ ment before April 1. Winchester began work­ ing for the department in 1997 and became director in 2002. When he stood to give his report, since March 8 is his birthday, members of the council serenaded him with “Happy Birthday.” council Members of approved by a vote of 6-1, with Phil VanNoord voting no, a request by Dill’s Restaurant for one of the Development Downtown liquor licenses. Fleury told the council that it may take 30 to 60 days for the restaurant receives the license. Doreen Dill, representing the restaurant, thanked the council for its approval. “Now those who can't enjoy German food without beer will be happy," she said. After presentations by Fleury, council approved installing a new computer network with IT Right and a new network copy machine Applied leased from Imaging. These were both the low bids. Members of council also approved setting Wayne Winchester a public hearing at the March 22 council meeting on the request by Bradford White for a proposed industrial development district on Eagle Drive. The village will be partici­ pating in Mayor Exchange Day with Three Oaks. Details are still being worked out. Then council discussed the recommendation by the village’s planning commis­ sion to change from four condominium four-unit structures, a total of 16 units to two 12-townhouse apart­ ment units, a total of 24 units jin the Visser Planned Unit development. Several council members, including VanNoord, Sue Merrill and Shannon Endsley, brought concerns about density and impact on |lorne values because of more apartments. owner Condominium Q^uck also Heckman Staff Writer The March 9 meeting of the Irving Township board of trustees was filled with both tears and cheers. The meet­ ing began at 6:30 p.m. with the public hearing on the proposed 2011-12 budget, which begins April 1. Before the hearing began, residents and trustees lis­ tened to the beginning of the district varsity basketball game of Thornapple Kellogg against Lakewood. When the regular meeting began at 7 p.m. there was a moment of silence and a few tears for Lyle Ergang who died Feb. 17, a week after the February meeting. Ergang, the husband of Township Clerk Carol Ergang, was often called the Irving Township greeter as he sat * dpw [Caledonia Planning Commission brought his concerns to the council. Bill Mast, representing Visser Brothers told council that this is only an additional eight units. The plans before them would include a safer play area, additional trees and consolidation and improvement of the drainage areas. Merrill presented a motion to deny the apartments. This passed by a vote of 5-2, with Michael Lytle and Sue Reyff casting the dissenting votes. After the vote, Lytle asked that in the future, motions not be presented in the “to deny” language. He felt that it was clearer if presented in 4 more positive language. At the end of the meeting. County Commissioner Dan Parker, who had presented his commissioner's report earlier, announced that the Middleville Rotary Club had working begun with Williams and Works on plans to install the Chester Geukes memorial clock in Depot Plaza. Once plans are complete, he will bring them to the council to review. Maynard Flikkema asked that the farmers market con­ sider allowing shipped-in produce, especially in the early spring. Lytle, who is market man­ ager. said he will talk with farmers now in the market and get more information from Flikkema. To allow shipped-in produce would mean changing the market's bylaws. discusses sign ordinance by Fran Faverman Staff Writer Monday, March 7, the Caledonia Township Planning Commission dis­ cussed two items: a revision to the sign ordinance, and a possible new zoning district for multi-family residential housing. The sign ordinance cov­ ers everything from bill­ boards to signs announcing a home occupation in a resi­ dential district. Discussion about this ordinance took up •It most of the meeting. The primary impetus behind the revision is the electronic age and the development of new signs capable of changing messages rapidly and in a plethora of colors. There appear to be two basic issues with signs. Don Commissioner Koopmans expressed a major concern when he said, “What do we want the com­ munity to look like?” The second is the differ­ ence between signage in commercial districts (Highway Commercial and the^C-1 and C-2 districts) See COUNCIL, pg. 2 and residential districts. Archie Warner, chair of the commission, who opened the discussion, said. “If we want businesses, we have to give them advertis­ ing.” Warner is a businessman whose firm has a retail com­ ponent and has said in the past that advertising is vital to retailing. Steve Gilbert, represent­ ing IT Solutions, said, “We have insane regulations on signs. It goes too far and is not business friendly.” A concern with electronic signs is the rate at which images can change and the length of time an image is I available. For example, the Michigan Department of Transportation has a regula­ tion requiring an image on an off-premises sign to be available for six to eight seconds on those large signs along state highways. Local units however can set vary­ ing times for on-premises signs. According to Warner the standard in Caledonia township is two seconds.

Commissioner Ric Parent entered discussion the observing that if there were no complaints about the two-second standard, there was no reason to change it. Commissioner Mike Kelly Parent. with agreed Commissioner Don Koopmans also supported retaining the two-second standard. Cavanaugh noted that some signs are exempt from permit requirements: Signs erected by governmental Zzdies; flags, pennants, or 1•IO 4insignia of governmental bodies and nonprofit organizations when not used as a means of advertising or in connection with a commercial promotion; address signs bearing only property numbers, post box numbers, names of the occupants of the premises, or other iden­ tification of the premises without commercial conno- See SIGNS, page 2 s i I I Small sewer leak near Gun Lake reported March Robert Robert Monroe, Monroe, manager manager of the Gun Lake Area Sewer and Water Authority, noti- Irving Township approves budget by Patricia Johns 136th year fiscally responsible level of service Irving for Township."

Cavanaugh said the future w ill bring amenities; she sees the D&W and Foremost Insurance Company expan­ sions as catalysts. She has previously commented on the difficulty young people face in finding affordable housing in Caledonia, She said. Its almost as though you are saying, ’Come back when you can afford to live here.’” Cavanaugh recommended that before deciding to locate a multi-family district on 68th Street, the commission might want to check with Farmers Insurance, the own­ ers of Foremost Insurance because the Foremost property encompasses approximately 500 acres, some of which which the the company company has has informally indicated may be used for commercial devel­ opment. No action beyond direct­ ing Clark to explore the issue was taken by the commis­ sion. During the final public comment period, Roger Keating addressed the prob­ lems he has experienced over several years with the Cherry Valley Development Company and hisi concerns over the 20-year permitted mineral removal permit that is part of the proposed gift of 200 acres to the township for parkland from the Peter Den Hartigh family.

Deadline for Hometown Hero nomination nearing ■ 4<* Staff Writer Sue Merrill, chair of the Community Middleville Garden, group welcomed many of the 2010 gardeners, and one new possible gardener, to a garden preparation meeting March 10. She discussed the need for gardeners to keep their plots in good shape. The 2010 gardeners were able to keep their gardens or select a new garden space. In addition the group decided to add one new row of plots. Merrill also wants gardeners to keep their gardens harvested. She said any gardener who has excess produce may get in touch with her so that it is not left in the garden to spoil ' A local resident has volun- teered to rototill the garden area again this year.

Mulder, 24, was diag­ nosed with an inoperable brain tumor in 2008 and her physicians are not sure how long she has to live. Damghani said, “I know the result of her last chemo showed that the tumor in her brain stayed at the same size where the doctors were expecting to increase in size. That was a very encouraging news.” Recently Mulder was able to take a trip to the west using some of the donated funds organized by Damghani. Mulder said, “1 am so grateful for all those who contributed to my dream vacation.” Following her return from vacation, Damghani told Mulder, “Lea, thanks for let­ ting me know and I am so glad I could play a small role on your fun trip. We love you and our prayers are with you.” Mulder wrote to Damghani foliowin 1 her return from her vacation. She said, “I just wanted to say thank you so much for organizing everything with the account that allowed me to go on an awesome vaca­ tion. I went with my sister and we flew into Las Vegas, and visited my grandma in Arizona. We also went to California and saw a ton of stuff there too. I was able to knock four things off my bucket list.” Crossed off Mulder’s bucket list are going to Paris since they stayed in the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas. She also got to ride in a gondola in Venice when she rode one at the Venetian in I^as Vegas as well. When she was in California she went to the San Francisco Zoo and saw the Hollywood Stars Boulevard. Damghani said, “I just want people to know how they helped Mulder fulfill one of her dreams.” TK senior fundraiser is Saturday The Dog Track in Hastings has offered to donate a portion of sales to !!• the Thornapple Kellogg Class of 201 I Saturday, March 19.

ITWIH fl fain l u re I II? Mircsz i ftljuoil" k hl’ i I ii I I » k A * j| I I ilW 5 f* I 1 1 » by Jessica Dion This world is simply stuffed full of people that do heroic things. But what defines a hero, is it his looks, his speeches, his occupation, his money? No, what defines a hero is his doings. What does he do that makes him memorable? There are bil­ lions and billions of heroes in past and present, and there shall be trillions more to come. Not all of them save starving countries through government, or fight off a plague with medicine. No, some of them do little things. The little things that they do can start up a fire within. A fire that once started, leads to a mark. A mark that is left behind when you leave this world. Even when you are gone, the mark you leave is what you are remembered for. I knew of a man that left a mark like that. His name was Thomas Gehl. He was a firefighter. When I say “firefighter,” what pops up in the minds of most of the kids my age is a single person with a mask and a yellow suit. The man that kids my age think of is just a person, a person that is trained to put out fires. But, when you think about it, there can be much more to a firefighter. These men and women risk their lives every time they go to work. When I think of work, I think of a small, windowless cubicle, with papers and technology scattered about messily. But when a firefighter goes to work, he risks his life doing the very thing that most peo­ ple could not bear to . do. They plunge themselves into a roaring flame to save lives. Tom Gehl was one of those incredibly brave firefighters. He was a man with no fear for himself, but for the per­ son in the fire. He didn’t care if he got a little burned; he cared if the person stuck in the building did. He was one of the most courageous men I have ever met. Whenever I think of him, I think of brav­ ery. His bravery is one of the many things that define him as my Michigan Hero. I'm told that Tom Gehl's career as a firefighter started on a cool summery evening. He was sleeping soundly in his bed when he smelled smoke. When most people see a fire, they just sit there, and stare, and sometimes call 911. Mr. Gehl, he just whipped on a robe, and raced in to try to save his neigh­ bors. He, sadly, was unsuccessful at saving the lives of his friends. But, something great came from this tragedy; Mr. Gehl decided that he was going to try to save more lives. He decided that he I1IWU the lllv 1UOI1 liked rush Vi of racing in and trying to help. He took his training to be an “on call” fireman. In that way, he saved life after life, whether he was manning the hose, or rushing in. I remember many a night when he would go tearing off in his truck, going as fast as he needed to. Just watching him go, seeing him race off to help the people that needed him, is another thing that made me say to myself, “He is a hero.” I know it’s not exactly some­ thing that most people see, but watching him get in his big red truck and turn on the siren, it gives you a feeling that you can't describe. It was exciting and yet a little terrifying to see. Just seeing him rush off and thinking about what he was about to do, it was amazing. It’s another thing that defined him as a hero to me. Tom Gehl died one tragic day, a week or two after being hit by a crane, and falling a treacherous 14 feet while doing one of this three jobs as a construction work­ er. He was in a coma for quite some time before they declared it was over for him. I went to his funeral. As I watched the people around me shed tears at his loss, I felt a great pang. Tom Gehl was not only a man with bravery, and honor, but he had a loving family. He had good friends. He had a fun side, and he wanted to help those in need. His family was completely at a loss by his death. Just seeing them, sit­ ting in their chairs at the funeral was enough to make anyone feel terrible. He had a great family, and they loved him very much, He gave soi much to this world, and .......& everythin 0 ___ that he did seemed to have an impact. 1 was in fifth grade when he passed, now that I’m thirteen, I can see that he was an person. incredible Everything he did made someone <else feel good. He was a hero in more than one person's eyes. The way he was loved by so many people is one of the things that define him as a hero to me. If there were one person in this world, that 1 would like to be ----like,7 -it would him. I -- — ■--- — be -- ---will always remember him or his courage and for his bravery. The way he was always positive and kind. I know that he left something behind, a mark that no one can erase. Pretty much any­ one who’s ever met him, remembers him with a smile. I believe that he was a great hero, and I miss him so much. I only wish 1 had known him better. There are many heroes in this world, many people that are remem­ bered forever. Some bigger and some are smaller, but all are true heroes like Tom Gehl. May he rest in peace and be forever in our hearts, a true Michigan hero. Call 945-9554 any time for classified ads Your 401(k) offers tax­ deductible contributions, tax-deferred growth of earn­ ings potential and a variety of investment options — so it’s a great tool for building retirement savings. Yet, like all tools, your 401 (k) must be used properly to get the best results. That's why you should review your 401 (k) at least annually and make whatever adjustments are needed. Depending on where you work, you may get some 401(k) review help from your plan provider. But if that assistance isn’t avail­ able, you might want to con­ sult with a financial profes­ sional to make sure you're getting the maximum benefit from your plan. As you begin to review your 401 (k), your first question should probably be this: "How much should 1 con/ritote?” At the very least, try to put in enough to receive your employer's matching contribution, it one is offered. If you don't eam this match, you are essentially walking away from “free Beyond money.” this, though, the amount you put in to your 401(k) might depend on what other retirement savings vehicles you have available. For instance, if you're eligible, you may also want to contribute to a Roth IRA, which otters taxfree growth potential, provided you've had your account for five years and don’t start taking withdrawals until you’re 59-1/2. Of course, it’s not only how much you put into your 401(k) that determines its success — it's also how you choose to allocate your investment dollars. (Keep in mind that asset allocation does not ensure a profit or protect against loss.) Your 401(k) may have a dozen or more investment choices, such as stock funds, bond funds and money market funds. To choose the right investment mix, you'll need to consider a variety of fac- tors, including these: • Your age — Generally speaking, the younger you are, the more aggressive you can afford to be with your 401 (k) investments, because you'll have decades in which to overcome the inevitable down periods of the market. As you get older, you may wish to invest somewhat more conservatively, but you'll still need some growth potential in your401(k) port­ folio. • Your goals — •Everyone has different goals for retire­ ment. You might want to retire early and travel the world, while your co-worker desires to work as long as possible and then, upon retirement, stay close to home and pursue hobbies. Because you each have dif­ ferent goals, with different income needs, you also may need to follow different investment strategies within your 401 (k). • Your other retirement income sources — If you have a variety of retirement income sources — a pension from another job, an IRA, a spouse with generous retire- The REW t ment benefits — you may need to invest differently, perhaps less aggressively, than if you had fewer options for retirement income. Apart from putting away as much as you can in your 401(k) and choosing the right investment mix, what else can you do to get the most out of your plan? Here's a suggestion: If you have worked at various jobs and you have multiple 40l(k)s, consider rolling them over them into one account. You might save money on fees and reduce paperwork, but, more impor­ tantly, you'll be able to con­ centrate your resources and pursue a unified investment approach, with all your investment dollars working together toward your ulti­ mate retirement goals. As you can see, a 401 (k) review and rollover can reward you in many ways — so do whatever it takes to maximize your 401 (k)’s per­ formance.

To the editor: Recently I needed to visit the new Caledonia Township offices. This was my first viewing of the new facility, and it appears to be wellplanned and efficient, but not overdone. Over many years of bein •» Caledonia Township resi­ dent, I have had to make numerous trips to the town­ ship office. The employees have usually been helpful, courteous and professional, and a few times not. My problem is that on this last visit, I was approached by a large dog inside the office. The dog appeared to be a golden retriever or simi­ lar breed. I was not pleased to be sniffed and followed around by this animal. No one in the office seemed the least bit concerned that •4 township visitors might not enjoy this type of experience when it is necessary to con­ duct business in a public building. I do nol know why town­ ship employees are allowed to bring animals to work with them and also why the animals are allowed to approach people who must transact business there. I'm not sure who is in charge, but common business profes- sionalism is definitely lack­ ing. Why should we be paying township employees for dog sitting? Do they think this is a standard acceptable prac­ tice for government offices or businesses open to the public in Caledonia? I do «!• not dislike dogs or have any animal allergies with which some other peo­ ple suffer. I have owned a number of pets, however 1 do not believe that the township office is the appropriate place to bring a dog to work. z> z * / -i1 to z'zi ■ iff Z* ft ■>* & 59 0 Lee teachers had to create bumble bees using three pipe cleaners during the talk by Denise Brennan-Nelson.

March 12, 2011 Camp Create-A-Lot brings more than 300 families back to school I by Patricia Johns Staff Writer l>ee Elementary School in Middleville drew in more than 3(X) families to have fun creating, reading and just laughing at Camp Creale-aLot Thursday evening. March 3. Students were reminded to not slay too long al any one station or they would run out of time before they had a chance to see them all. The event was designedI as a fun way celebrate reading and creativity during March is Reading Month. In previous years, the event had been called Camp Read-a-Lot. Activities included drama theater, reader s theater puppels, a book exchange, story telling, art stations and more. Author Denise BrennanNelson, who had visited the third and fourth grade school during the day, returned in the evening. Some of her books include: Afy Momma Likes to Say, Penny the Forgotten Coin, Someday is Not a Day of the Week and Willow. The book being4 featured at Camp Create-a-Lot create-a-uoi was Willow which was recently placed on the Oprah for Kids Book Club list. She even got to sit under a paper willow' tree in the Lee Library. The book looks al an art class where neatness, conformity, and imitation are encouraged, but when Willow' brings imagination and creativity to her projects, even straightlaced Miss Hawthorn is influenced. The evening included walk-around characters, posing riddles, providing jokes to read and writing poetry. The cafeteria was filled with art stations where students could create robots, aliens and rocket ships. They could learn about Camp Manitou-lin, make mini s’mores and think about summer. This was just the start of reading month activities at l^ee Elementary School. ■/ I f X •* \4 Mf $ Mi J <-X >4 I «■»— w •- =» c r-1 hi I1 * — —- • * J ll -I I in KT I *• 1 f > a •n. • • 5 xuVf * T *** * ’ ■ ft fl ■■ —_ F J -.<? >T <&• > L -Zf 7 J “ — ' *..

The topic for the 2010 contest was “My Personal Michigan Hero.” Past, Present, and Future fry Karina Bursch Some heroes don T live in our lifetime. They aren’t our »i» next-door neighbors or a favorite teacher. Sometimes our heroes are a part of histoO'* an^ long deceased, but influence us like they're by our side. They affect all gen­ erations. My Michigan hero is one of these heroes: John Set clocks forward tonight Daylight saving time begins Sunday, March 13, at 2 a m., and local residents are reminded to set clocks for­ ward, lest they show up an hour late for church Sunday morning. • The change in time that !< ltd brings an additional hour of evening daylight used to occur in April, but since 2007. has occurred in March. Residents also are remind­ ed to change batteries in their smoke detectors when they reset clocks. T. Rich, my great-great­ great-great uncle. John T. Rich was the 23rd governor of Michigan and very involved in politics. His participation in politics is one of the reasons he is my hero. Because of his example. I aspire to one day engage in politics and become a go vernor or president. I also am spurred by his actions to vote and take my part in govern­ mental affairs. As well as being governor of Michigan, my hero was the first speaker of the house in Lansing. Like John T. Rich. I also want to be an influential public speaker. He is a g<x>d example of effective speaking because he participated in many House sessions. He also had a seat in the US House of Representatives, another position in which one must be a persuasive speaker. One of the greatest rea sons John T. Rich is my hero is an act he accomplished while being governor. In 1895, he gave Mackinac Island to the federal govern­ ment for a national park The first lime I visited Mackinac Island. I loved the fudge, but was wowed by landmarks like Arch Rock and Skull Cave. In part, it is thanks to my Michigan hero that lhe natural beauty of the island is pre served for generations to come. My Michigan hero is a great hero of the past, present and future, influencing peo­ ple of different generations. John T. Rich is my hero because he has inspired me to attain my goals and future aspirations. Also, he has motivated me to become a better public speaker. I can thank my Michigan hero for many new possibilities that I wouldn't have considered without his example. "" ■9 ___ ■■■! LL.'J k \ Call 269-945-9554 for Sun & News ads i fa % ii L h .

(Photo by Patricia Johns) Deputies responded to a trespassing complaint Feb. 20 at the Gun River Inn on Nine Mile Road. The complainant told deputies that the driver of a red 1995 Ford pickup was doing "doughnuts’" in the parking lot of the inn. Rocks and snow were being thrown into other vehi­ cles during the process. According to the complainant, the driver had been banned from the property several years ago. Upon arrival at the scene, deputies noticed the circular tracks and were told by the complainant that the suspect, an Orangeville man, was by then at a tavern in Delton. When deputies arrived at the tavem and located the suspected vehicle, the suspect was passed out inside the truck. Deputies said the suspect did not respond when they tried to wake him, so they called EMS. The man was transported to Pennock Hospital for evaluation. His vehicle and property were secured.

The 1999 Jeep Cherokee was parked in front of the residence with a trailer containing the reported stolen steel. The complainant had an old steel bridge, in pieces, lying on his 50 acres, and he believed it had been stolen. Deputies drove to the bridge site and noticed fresh tire tracks. The complainant's neighbor had seen the vehicle with trailer arid saw the suspects arranging the steel in the trailer. When deputies talked to the two suspects, a 19-year-old man from Wayland and 18-year-old male from Freeport, they said they had gotten the steel from a sawmill in Lake Odessa. The complainant explained to deputies that 12 pieces of steel were stolen, including a 20-foot I-beam. A report has been forwarded to the prosecutor’s office. •• J. -V/ I ““ Av-v / L ©'I •I c. * r ^.<i k .- n * 1 'V2 ..... • • « r.,»• F j . * - * £ -r* * '■ V State rep. intends to decline retirement health benefits State Rep. Ken Yonker, RCaledonia, has declined the health benefits offered to state legislators in retirement. In a letter sent this week to the director of human resources, Yonker officially declared his intention to decline the health benefits offered to representatives who have served six full years in the state House. "Accepting those benefits, should I have the pleasure of I serving in the House for the full six years, is not some­ thing I considered,” Yonker said. "It doesn’t seem right for an employer to be liable for my benefits after I am no longer an employee. When it comes to balancing the budg­ et, I am committed to leading by example, and at a time when we are asking for con­ cessions from everyone irf Michigan, it is important that legislators take cuts also.” I ? Lawmakers this year have already taken a 10 percent pay cut. State representatives are eligible for full health care coverage in retirement, from the ages of 55 to 65, if they have served the six-year term-limited maximum in the state house. Yonker can be reached in Lansing by calling toll-free 888- 347-8072, or by e- mail to kenyonker@house.mi.gov.

It was the first district final for the Trojan boys since 2001. The Trojans made the Orioles wait as long as they could. Charlotte held the Trojans to just two field goals in the third quarter, pushing a 28-22 half-time lead up to as many as 19 points in the third, Thomapple Kellogg kept battling, and pulled to within 14 points with just under seven minutes left in the game. The Trojans were pressing, and then fouling to try and extend their season. Charlotte fought off the Trojans in the end by hitting 20-of-37 free throws in the fourth quarter alone.

Downtown development authorities raise money through tax incremental financing authorities which capture a portion of the increase in tax revenue creat­ ed when property values rise. The issue for village finances is two-fold: Even with a tax increase passed in 2010, the •si current budget is tight, and the aim of creating a reserve to fund overdue capital be improvements could threatened by any diversion of revenues to a DDA; the ole. second concern is the possi ­ ble inclusion of residential property within a DDA dis­ trict. Sandy Ayers, village clerk and manager, reported that the site for the community clean-up days has been moved to the Shurlow prop­ erty on the east side of M-37. The event has been tentative­ ly scheduled for Friday and Saturday, April 28 and 29, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Paul Galdes, village engi­ neer, reported on a proposal from A-l Asphalt for a Yankee Springs board discusses insurance, hall, zoning and more by Fran Faverman Staff Writer The Yankee Springs I Township Board of »!• Trustees disposed of sever­ al items of routine business at its meeting Thursday, March 10. from Pratt, B.

He reported that the liability coverage for incidents involving fire department vehicles had been increased to $5 million per occurrence, and cover­ age for attorney fees in zon- ing matters had been added as well as coverage for elec­ tronics and software. The last piece of good news was that the premium had declined from the previous year by $1,027 to $1 1,858 for the current year. Dave Middleton, director of Thornapple Township Emergency Services, pre­ sented his report, noting that there had been many calls for downed power lines in Yankee Springs Township due to weather. He said the department had received a grant ot $110,000 from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for the purchase of medical equipment; among the items to be purchased mechanical are CPR machines, and Stryker wer cots and chairs. The Hi I grant requires a 5 percent match. Supervisor Al McCrumb asked Middleton about the possibility of having an ambulance based at the tire station on Payne Lake Road during the summer. After some discussiop. Middleton suggested a simple first aid van, but the van would not be licensed to transport peo­ ple to other care.

March 8, council meeting, village manager and finance director Rebecca Fleury told mem­ bers of council that depart­ ment of public works person­ nel have begun to turn off water to 53 delinquent cus­ tomers. These are customers who at the end of the fourth quar­ ter of 2010 had not paid their water bills. The customers had received letters saying they were delinquent and had been given an opportunity to pay what was owed.

A prelimi­ nary budget had been printed for the public and board members to review prior to cil approved the proposal. Council President Glenn Gilbert accepted Harrison's letter of resignation “with regret. Jill is a valuable per­ son in our community. It is a blow to the community,’’ he said. Harrison is leaving to accept a position with a com­ pany in North Carolina. Trustee Danise Regan, who had preceded Harrison as treasurer, said she would miss Harrison and wished her well in her new job as did Scholl and trustees Karen Hahn and Dan Erskine. Harrison responded that it had been a valuable experi­ ence for her and she noted that bills are sent out quarterly. Those who did not pay were sent another letter telling them that water would be shut off, beginning March 8. The Village is working with delinguent homeowners and no further shutoffs have been necessary. Once water is shut off. homeowners must make a $50 payment in cash or with a money order before water starts flowing again. Fleury' told council mem­ bers that the village could no longer just absorb the bills ot those who were in arrears. Those notified of the pend ing shut-offs included at least one water user who had never paid a water bill. By Tuesday afternoon, the village had received more than $2,000 in water pay­ ments from those who were delinquent. Fleury added that she had informed Tony Stein ot the Middleville unit of the Barry County Sheriff’s Department. The unit had received several calls from homeowners about DPW employees '“trespassing” on their property. Fleury emphasized that the water meters are village property and DPW employ­ ees are not trespassing. DPW employees went in pairs to shut off the water. other Stein and Middleville unit officers were available during the times meters were being shut off. In addition, staff referred homeowners looking for assistance in paying their bills to the Barry C ounty United Way at 269-945-4010 and the Barry-Eaton District Health Department services at 269-948-3200. Fleury said residents will continue to be billed on a quarterly basis. The same procedure will be followed — bills will go out and let­ ters will be sent to those who are delinquent. If those bills are not paid by the deadline, a notice of a shut-off date will be sent to the delinquent water user. If bills are not paid by that date, water will be shut off.

Absent from this meeting were board members Cindy Ordway and Tom Ward. The other five members approved Rider’s evaluation unanimously. He was evaluated in seven categories: relationship with the board, community relations, staff relationships, business and finance, educational leadership, personal qualities and achievement of goals set by the board of education.

We either need a clear approval or you may disap­ prove it. Please submit a new resolution as soon as possi­ ble." Between the rejection by the commission and the March 10 board meeting, both the Campbells and the township appear to have sought legal advice. It also appears both parties may have received conflicting advice. The Campbells maintain that since the signs were in existence before the Gun Lake Corridor Overlay District was created, the signs are grandfathered and are legal. In other words, new zoning regulations can­ not be retroactively applied to existing signs. They also say any signage issue is sep­ arate from the local approval; in other words, the township cannot tie the local approval of the resolution to the zoning regulations. The township response is that the signs are non-conforming. Because the former owners have not operated the restaurant as a business for two years, the ordinance governing signs requires that the signs meet current stan­ dards. After an extensive and at times a heated discussion, the board voted to table any action on the approval until its April meeting.

He urged compliance before approval of the resolution. The board, after extensive discussion, decided to approve the reso­ lution but attached conditions to its approval, namely that the business would be in compliance with the Gun Lake Corridor Overlay District rules and will have completed the necessary •It modifications by April 30. Janice Lippert, township clerk, submitted the resolu­ tion with the attached condi­ tions to the Michigan Liquor Control Commission, which received it Jan. 21.

There were two signs on the prop­ erty. and neither sign met setback requirements on M179 for either the township or the Michigan Department of Transportation.

The donation to the manufacturer of the special pink plastic refuse carts recognizes the partnership between Cascade and Morrison, a major distributor of materialshandling equipment and-its participation in a promotion through the Susan G. Komen Foundation with the American Cancer Society. For every cart sold, Cascade donates $5 to the ACS for support of its Breast Cancer Awareness program and hopes to raise $500,000 for the _program. 2 Fred Keller, founder and chief executive officer of Cascade Engineering, welcorned the crowd of media representatives and people with stories to tell about reast cancer and its impact on their lives, saying, “The day is all about breast cancer awareness. My wife is a survivor. Everybody has a story ** to tell about breast cancer. Roger Troost, chief executive officer with Morrison Industrial Equipment, added that Morrison was proud to be able to donate the two special-edition pink pallet trucks, one purchased by the company at an auction and the other purchased from the manufacturer Rapidparts Inc., another company based in West Michigan. He said his company has supplied materialshandling equipment to Cascade for 25 years and that Cascade has shown how to survive in the current economic climate. 'Gov. Snyder opened his remarks, ' saying that he — J B ■ V* agreed to participate for two reasons: [his wife, Sue, is a breast cancer survivor and the company is a local business producing products made by real people for real people, He observed that breast cancer is the “second leading killer of women in women Michigan. Snyder praised the compa- nies for their sense of civic responsibility and noted that 20,000 of the pink carts have been sold. “In fact, I'm going to see if I can get some for use in our neighborhood.” he commented. No doubt the official residences on Cambridge Drive in Lansing soon will be sport ing a pink refuse cart at the foot of the driveway. During the media portion of the event, responding to a question about the influence of lobbyists, special interest groups and the persistence of so-called sacred programs (those programs considered iuntouchable - -- -because they are perceived as having strong and V41 1V1 powerful f ▼▼V/1 1 Vll constituencies), V/1 lulIlUVI IV 1VU f y Snyder said, “I always ask, how does that benefit the rest of the people?

He became a member of the Middleville Lions Club in 1988 when he was invited to join by Gerald Stagray. From that time, he served two times as president of the club, greeted many at chick­ en dinners and parades and sold lots of raffle tickets to support the club’s contribu­ tions to the local and interna­ tional communities.

In November 1984, Lyle retired on a medical disabili­ ty from a degenerative nerve disease, after 21 years with Bell Fibre in Grand Rapids. In 1988, he received his GED from Thornapple Kellogg. After retiring, he walked with a cane but soon went to using a wheelchair because it was more com­ fortable. r * H by Patricia Johns Sta# Writer the Members of Middleville Village Council met in a work session Wednesday, March 16, to review and update the vil­ lage’s personnel policy.

But you may also invest to increase your cash flow. In fact, without a strong cash flow, you may be forced to dip into your growth-oriented investments to pay for short-term needs — and if you do this repeat­ edly, you could damage your prospects for attaining your long-term goals. That’s why you’ll want to look at differ­ ent ways of boosting your cash flow — one of which may be premium bonds. To understand the nature of premium bonds, you’ll first want to be familiar with the relationship between a bond’s price and its interest rate. When a bond •It is issued, it sells for face (“par”) value, which is the amount returned to the bondholder when the bond matures. This bond also •It comes with a “coupon” rate — the interest rate that the bond will pay throughout its lifetime. So, for example, if you paid $10,000 for a 10year bond with a coupon rate •It of five percent, you would earn $500 per year, every •It year. If you held the bond until it matured, you'd also get your $10,000 back, pro- vided the issuer doesn't default. But if market interest rates move up to six percent, and you wanted to sell your five-percent bond before it matures, you'd have to offer it at a discount from the $IO,OOOface value. Conversely, if market rates were to fall to four percent, you may be able to sell your $10,000 bond for more than its face value, because investors will be willing to pay a premium to earn the higher interest rate. Now, let's flip the equa­ tion, so that instead of being a bond seller, you’re a buyer. If you want to increase your investment income, you might be interested in a pre­ mium bond. You pay a pre­ mium for the bond in return for higher interest payments •It for the life of the bond, and, if you hold it until maturity, you’ll still get the face value back (again barring a default). Furthermore, because pre­ mium bonds pay higher interest, they also pay a greater proportion of their cash flow before they mature, in comparison to dis­ counted or “par” bonds. This helps provide for greater price stability, so if interest rates rise or fall, premium bond prices typically will not Duncan Lake Middle School Highlight Haircut $60 issued reading challenge Correction 269-795-0053 I ■ I ■ r Caledonia Elementary students catch reading waves ?i ■A L » F irst Rehab 1 ••• ••• 1T = ••• Call anytime for Sun & News ads 269-945-9554 or 1-800-870-7985 1 v A V HP U C D Caledonia Tax & Accountin PLLC Timothy Noyes, cpa See a Licensed Physical Therapist Every Visit (616) 803-1055 MOST INSURANCES ACCEPTED • Individual & Business Tax Returns Small Business Accounting & Payroll I• • Healthcare Industry Specialist Tim@CaledoniaTax.com www.CaledoniaTax.com 4525 N.

Middleton will bring further details and a resolution to be approved to the April 11 meeting.

She also said she would like it to be limited to farmers market items and not become a flea market. McCrumb said he did not feel a market should be a moneymaker for the town­ ship; the township should make it as easy as possible to set up a market. Lippert continued with his report, noting that 244 letters of map amendment had been received from FEMA. One site plan review for a new residence had been conduct­ ed in February, and a com­ plaint about a pontoon boat parked on an easement had been received and the owner notified. The board received a letter from township attorney John Lohrstorfer regarding the question of access to library privileges for township resi­ dents who live in the Wayland Union School District. He said that there is no provision in the law establishing libraries for financing them through a special assessment; another difficulty with a special assessment is that there is no way to pass a millage for a portion of a township since other portions of the town­ ship are provided with library services through other school districts. McCrumb opened a brief discussion of the possibility •It rted by some residents su‘ of turning the planning and zoning function in the tow nship over to the Barr} County Commission on Planning and Zoning. He reported he would be meet­ ing with Jim McManus, director of planning, and Michael Brown, county administrator, to discuss the issue, Frank Fiala, chair of the Yankee Springs Planning Commission, said the town­ ship severed its connection with the county through an interim ordinance. He added the records were unclear as to exactly how the planning functions came to be estab­ lished in Yankee Springs. He said he has heard there is dis­ cussion among the county a regardin commissioners charging for county planning and zoning services since the function is not a mandated service. Janice Lippert read the draft of a resolution to estab­ lish a fund for renovations at the township hall. Township Fleis engineers and Vandenbrink have submitted a plan w ith an estimated cost of $480,000 to renovate the building. The resolution would lock $360,000 cur­ rently in the township gener­ al fund into a special fund that could be used only for existing the renovating An | additional building. appropriation from the forth­ comingA year would provide •!•!• the balance of the funds. She said that every year the money is set aside and invested and at the end of the year is rolled back into the general fund. The most recent financial statement from Treasurer John Jerkatis of shows a balance $973,793. According to her, the pri­ mary reason to establish the fund at this time is to pre­ serve the dollars for renova­ tions. She said the existing facility has serious deficien­ cies. An emergency repair to an office floor was required last year when the floor began to collapse under the weight of filing cabinets. Office space is crowded and lacking, she said, and the building does not meet requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. In the absence of Jerkatis, no action was taken on the proposed fund. In its final action, the board approved $86,377 for •It road repair, dust control and repainting fog lines. The next meeting of the board will be Thursday, April 14, at 7 p.m. in the township hall, 284 N.

They vol­ unteered at a batteredwomen's shelter, a soup kitchen and a thrift store for the homeless. One day they prepared 180 bologna sand- wiches that were then hand­ ed out to homeless people. Fourteen Davenport stu­ dents took part in the Alternative Spring Break program this year. The nationwide program encour­ ages college students to use spring break as a time for volunteering rather than vacationing. Davenport began its ASB program in 2006. East St. Louis has been rated one of the poorest areas in the United States. The median household income is $21,324 per year which is about half of the median household income in the United States as a whole. Within the city, 31.8 percent of the families Jive below the poverty line. The crime rate is exceptionally high, with only 3 percent of U.S. cities being rated more dangerous. Volunteers benefit from the experience because they can gain a better understanding of people in poverty by inter­ acting and building relation­ ships with them. Davenport ASB partici­ pants confronted the issues of hunger, public education and affordable retail options by working at seven service sites, including soup kitchens to feed those who cannot afford meals and interacting Call anytime lor Sun & News classified ads 269-945-9554 or 1-890-870-7085 with inner-city East St. Louis students, through reading, playing and tutoring. Students worked with thrift stores not generating enough money to pay employees to organize the products. Students who participated in 2011 included Benjamin Brewer, Erica Erica Alderink, Jacob Menninga, Meagan Pulley, Jacob Kositzke, Aleasha Barnhard, Parys Liddell, Jessica Brinks, Lindsay Ferrell, Kiandra Williams, Shalisha Jashara, Jessica Edmunds and Katie Thomas. The students stayed in a home owned by the Catholic Urban Program which has 23 beds for volunteers. Some of the students met at the Caledonia campus March I0 to look back on their experiences. Pulley, a site leader help­ ing to coordinate activities, said, "we were very safe while we were there." Many of the Davenport volunteers enjoyed working with children during the week. “Just being there was the best part and seeing the impact we made on the lives of children/' said Cunningham. Kositzke wrote an essay following the experience. “Perhaps the most mean­ ingful activities we were able to experience look place in the after-school programs," he wrote. "East St. Louis stu­ dents from all age groups spent time each day after school in these programs to receive tutoring or play games. Some Davenport Students were surprised by how eager East St. Louis stu­ dents were to learn. The after-school program was the last volunteer activity the Davenport students did at the end of each eventful day." On the last day of the trip, the students spent lime across the river in St. Louis, Mo. They visited a science museum, the arch and had dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe. “It may have been only one week, but the students were able to establish amaz*ing friendships among them­ selves and the people they worked with in East St. Louis," wrote Kositzke. “Overall, the trip was a huge success and a powerful expe­ rience."

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot. Tomaszek and her stu­ dents have worked hard to end the book read with a dis­ cussion at the Kentwood Public Library Monday, March 21, from 6:30 to 8 s s ■s p.m. This is the joint project between readers from the Kentwood and Caledonia libraries, branches of the Kent District Library system. The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks details the impact of a woman, known by scientists as HeLa on modem science and medi­ cine. Skloot describes this poor Southern tobacco farmer who worked the same land as her slave ancestors. She details how Lacks’ cells — taken without her knowledge — became one of the most important tools in medicine. The first “immortal" human cells grown in culture, they are still alive today, though •n she has been dead for more than 60 years. HeLa cells were vital for developing the polio vaccine; uncovered secrets of cancer, viruses and other research. Tomaszek has invited three experts to the Poverty and Community panel dis­ cussion. Members of the panel are Marlene Berens, Amy Stahley and Betty Zylstra. They bring knowl­ edge and experience from health care, homelessness and housing. Berens is a faculty mem- ber at Davenport University who teaches in the field of community nursing. According to Tomaszek. “Through long-term rela­ tionships, she has imple­ mented clinical experiences that bring her students and local nonprofits together.” An area of emphasis for Berens is to provide satisfac­ tory health care to those who have inadequate insurance coverage. Both the Caledonia and Kentwood libraries have copies of the book. There is no charge to attend the book discussion. The new Kentwood Public reton Library is at 4950 Ave., SE.

MW* The oldest service organi­ zation in Caledonia is gear­ ing up to serve the communi­ ty with what it’s calling a win-win-win opportunity at the Formal Frenzy Saturday, March 26, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Organizer Nancy Crumback explained that win No. 1 is for girls wanting to sell their “worn only once” formal dresses. Win No. 2 is for girls wanting to buy a “new” for­ mal at a discounted price. And win No. 3 is for the sen­ ior girls at Caledonia High School who will receive scholarships from the Caledonia Women’s Club. The Formal Frenzy is a consignment sale designed for high school and college girls. “To sell a dress: bring your clean, priced, sized dress(es) on a hanger to the old Caledonia Floral Shop in Caledonia's D&W Plaza Wednesday through Friday, March 23 to 25, from 2 to 6 p.m.,” said Crumback. Sellers pay a $5 consign­ ment fee and get a free ticket for admission to the sale. There is no percentage charged on top of that when a dress is sold. All sales are cash only. Admission is $2 which qualifies buyers for door prizes from local vendors. In addition to dresses, vendors will be on site with promo­ tions and products for prom night, such as manicures, tanning, hairstyling, flowers, dining. The women's club, estab­ lished in 1916, is Caledonia’s oldest service organization. This year the ladies served the community by helping the Santa Claus Girls wrap Christmas pres­ ents, donated items for Green Gables and Girlstown, and cleaned the roads through Adopt-a- Highway. The group participates in Days Western and Caledonia’s Independence Day Celebration. Many peopie look forward to the club’s annual poinsettia sale at Christmas time. The club’s biggest service project is the presentation of annual scholarships to senior Q girls at Caledonia High School. For the past 52 years, two or three girls per year have been awarded scholarships. Recipients are chosen from applications and interviews with a committee from the club. The award recipients are kept secret until the annual mother/daughter coffee in May. 2010 graduates CHS Abigail Schantz, Alyssa Petz and Andrea Engerson, last year’s recipients, received a total of $ 1,800.

Cornerstone University senior Ashleigh Lund (10) steps forward to receiver her WHAC Defensive Player of the Year Award during the WHAC Tournament in November. Ashleigh Lund, a 2007 gracjuate of ThornappleKellogg, left high school with a pocket full of honors and school records in soccer and basketball. headed She for Cornerstone University to study physical therapy and to continue to play the two sports that she loves - soccer and basketball. The awards haven't stopped rolling in though. Lund had a spectacular senior soccer season last fall. She led Cornerstone University to a WolverineHoosier Athletic Conference (WHAC) championship, a tournament conference championship, and a spot in the NAIA National Tournament. It was the first time in Cornerstone University soccer history t|iat tfoe team won a conference championship and tournament championship in the same season. During her four years, Lund proved to be a valuable player on both offense and defense. For her senior year, coach Randy Strawser made the decision to have her solidify the defense from the sweeper position. That decision turned out to be the right one for Cornerstone. However. Lund also played an integral part on the offen­ sive end. Coach Strawser had Lund move up to the front line on Cornerstone corner kicks. She proved to be deadly on heading in goals. In fact, she led the team in points, which a defender normally does not do. Lund proved to be a very resilient player, starting every game during her fouryear career, and played every minute of each game her sen­ ior year. Having a young team last fall year, coach Strawser said Lund's leader­ ship skills were invaluable. He added that Lund had a positive impact on every player on the team. In addition to the team received awards, Lund numerous individual awards. They included NAIA AllAmerican honors, WHAC Defensive Player of the Year, Unanimous First Team All-Conference. Her team team-­ mates also honored her by voting her team Most Valuable Player and Most Valuable Defender. Teammate Amanda Van Laar, a Caledonia High School graduate, also earned First Team All-Conference honors. Upon returning home from Nationals, Lund had to quickly change gears, as she had already missed the start of the basketball season. The basketball season came to an end recently, with Cornerstone's loss to eventu­ al NAIA runner-up Davenport in the WHAC Tournament. Lund played in 27 games this season for the basketball team which finished with a 16-15 overall record. tourney Call 945-9554 for more information.

Harrison explained the proposal as currently being only within Grand Rapids and Kent County. It would create a metro­ politan government L with a partisan executive.

The following mes­ sage is meant for the State Legislature and it's a simple one,” he wrote. “Do not take $900 million - or any amount for that mat­ ter — from the K-12 schools and give it to community colleges and universities. Those of us sending this message have nothing against community colleges and universities - we truly value their importance to our state’s education system." “The governor's current proposed budget would take away $700 million trom K12 schools and give it to uni­ versities. It would also take another $200 million tor community colleges. This reduction would mean Thornapple Kellogg would lose over $1.4 million in funding next year. This change is the biggest reason K-12 schools all over Michigan are looking at such significant cuts, cuts," Rider wrote. “We need to plan for increases in expenditures that - worst case - would See COMMENT, pg. SI , cost another $1 million dol­ lars." dent for the future. It seems that it has," Rider said. “This isn’t ‘shared sacrifice’ - it’s a raid on the School Aid Fund that could devastate K-12 public education.” TK Superintendent Gary Rider “The Michigan legislature acted last summer to take $200 million from K-12 schools to cover a shortfall in the general fund for commu­ nity colleges. It was sold as a one-time ‘loan' that would not set a precedent and prior to this action last year, money had never been taken from the School Aid Fund to support the General Fund. School officials across the state protested; concerned that this would set a prece- “If this proposal should remain unchanged, commu­ nity colleges would receive no cut next year, university revenues would be cut by three percent and K-12 schools would be cut by more than seven percent." “Please keep in mind that individual K-12 districts are prohibited from generating additional operating revenue while community colleges See RA/D, page 2 In This Issue • YS Commission considers outbuildings, mining permits • Camp O’Malley runs into unfinished business • Trojan alumni come from behind _ * a •a to beat Scots in charity game • TK fills a number of spots on All-Barry Co. teams < ♦ ♦ i ( �I I Page 2/Th^Sun and News. Bfturday, March 26, 2011 YS Commission considers outbuildings, mining permits by Fran Fa verman Staff Writer During its monthly meet­ ing March 17, the Yankee •J Springs Township Planning Commission sent two ordi­ nances to the township board of trustees with a recommen­ dation for approval. The first dealt with the issue of outbuildings both on •It lots with a principal resi­ dence and those without a residence. For lots with a principal residence the gen­ eral requirement is compati­ bility in appearance with the principal structure. For lots without a residence, compat­ ibility with the surrounding neighborhood is required. The second ordinance was a revision of the provisions governing the mining of sand and gravel in the township. Although not confirmed, mention was made in the dis­ cussion of the possibility that the state may lease some of its property in the township to a mining operator. Mining in the township requires a special-exceptions land use permit. Reflecting the ongoing battle some residents are having with the Federal Emergency Management Agency over its placement of hundreds of parcels around Gun Lake in a flood plain, Commissioner Al Schwennesen said that grav­ el and sand mining often results in the creation of a body of water. “Do we want a higher ele­ vation restoration so FEMA doesn’t put homes in a flood plain?” he asked. After some discussion members of the commission indicated that the resulting slope was likely to preclude inclusion of homes built on reclaimed land from ’being included in a flood plain. The commission sched­ uled a public hearing for its April 21 meeting on the pro­ posed ordinance establishing a simplified administrative procedure for nonprofit organizations to obtain a per­ mit for the sale of goods within the township. Under the current ordinance a spe­ cial-exception use permit at a cost of $200 is required. The administrative process would be administered by the zon­ ing administrator and would not require a public hearing or appearance before the commission. A proposal drafted by Commissioner Cathy Strickland for a farmers mar­ ket at the township hall was also discussed. The commis­ sion had sent the draft to the •It board which indicated at its meeting the previous week that while they did not sup­ port locating a market at the town hall, the board did sup­ port the concept and returned the draft to the commission for further study. Clerk Janice Lippert had suggested exploring Bowens Mill as a possible location. Commissioner Greg Purcell suggested tabling the issue until an individual interested in taking on the development i Get your highlights for Spring Break!

Schwennesen provided the commission with pictures of boat canopies and covered lists that are legal products. He is concerned about the •It erection of storage sheds normally used to store equip­ ment such as lawnmowers in lakes as boat •It covers. He is also concerned about the erection of makeshift plastic tents left in the lake year•It. round as boat covers. There have also been complaints that the structures interfere with a neighbor’s view of the lake. The township currently lacks an ordinance defining a boat house according to Robert Lippert, zoning administrator. It is also unclear that the township has any authority over anything placed in the lake. Living fences have also been discussed recently, the result of a complaint from a neighbor who maintains that an adjacent neighbor’s living fence along the property line obstructs a view of the lake. The commission has deter­ mined that the only right to a view is that directly in front on one’s property; one does not have th$ right to an unob­ structed view of the lake across a neighboring •It proper­ ty. Purcell noted that regulat­ ing living fences would get into landscaping issues. Commissioner Patrick Jansen said he thought it was too far-reaching. When commissioner chair Frank Fiala closed the meet­ ing he said that attitudes towards the provision of services were changing. He cited several instances of changes towards a more service-oriented demeanor among public servants and others in private enterprises serving the general public. The next meeting of the commission is scheduled for 7 p.m. Thursday, April 21, at the township hall, 284 N. Briggs Road. 06744999 It’s about people, not things. It’s about security.

Proposal A was passed in 1994 by the voters of Michigan to fund the School Aid Fund for K-12 schools not community colleges and universities. “This isn’t ‘shared sacri­ fice’ - it’s a raid on the School Aid Fund that could devastate K-12 public educa­ tion,” Rider said. “Adequate school funding isn't just an education issue it's a community issue, a state-wide economic recov­ ery issue and an issue that defines our state’s priorities. Public K-12 education affects every person in the state, whether they have school age children or not.” Rider encourages school district residents to contact Gov. Rick Snyder, Sen. Rick Jones and Rep. Mike Callton. “Let them know how you feel about the raid on the School Aid Fund. I find it indefensible - I hope you will agree,” Rider said. Contact information: Gov. Rick Snyder, PO Box 30013, Lansing, Mich. 48909, or email Rick.Snyder@michigan.gov; Sen.

All districts will lose $300 per student from the governor’s budget and another $239 per student due to an increase in the MPSERS rate. The total of $539 per student is a 7.4 per­ cent cut in funding. In addi­ tion, over $ 170 per student in one time federal EduJobs money has been eliminated,” Rider said.

Township Trustee Don Larger Koopmans said, organizations lose touch. I want local control.” Moving into the meeting agenda, Robertson explained that the sewer connection and use rates ordinance was needed to amend the agree­ ment with the Village of Caledonia, which owns the wastewater treatment plant. The resolution was passed unanimously. The township has reached its allotted capacity and the rates will apply to new connections. The rates apply to the M-37 Sewer System and are set per unit at $5,700 for a direct connection and $4,325 for an indirect connection. In other business, the ordi­ nance proposed to remove the Crossroads of Caledonia development from the juris­ diction of the Kent County Circuit Court and assert jurisdiction through the zon­ ing process received its first - reading. The development would become a planned unit development. Dar VanderArk, represent- I x Vi 1 > J tin 4[iim *9^ 1 I ' WE C:imin Chis wrdifc. I ing T&M Partners, LLC., said the township was not losing any control. He noted that the development is a mixture of commercial and residential space. He noted that 14 residential units have been completed and eight are shell units. He added the group was applying for Housing Federal (FHA) Administration financing. The number of residential units sold has been below expectations. Trustee Greg Zoller noted that two of the eight units sold were lease-purchase options: “An option to purchase is a rental. I know of a couple of people renting," he said. VanderArk said the agree­ ments were limited to oneyear. Zoller riposted, “Every time, there is a gray area with these condos.” VanderArk indicated the developer was not going to do any more lease options. He said the FHA required 30 percent of the development to be sold before units would be eligible for FHA financ- ing. “I was on the Planning when Commission started," Crossroads “The said. Koopmans Commission Planning approved a recommendation to the board that the applica­ tion (for a PUD) be approved with Stipulations for signage, c sidewalks, and setbacks. They (T&M Partners) have agreed to the changes.” He added that a PUD would make the development more functional. Robertson took the opportunity to engage in a brief historical review, saying. “We (he and Harrison) were elected to the board and walked into the mess ...The original plan called for a 30,000 square-foot theater and a 65.000 square-foot assisted living center ... — Then came the ____ bait and switch ...We want to make sure you deliver. I am pleased Porter Hills is in there and nice medical offices." He closed his remarks, saying, '“times are different. The economy necessitates changes.” Robertson introduced the final item on the agenda, a moratorium on permits for billboards, and it was approved unanimously. The township planning commission has been engaged in dis­ cussing the sign ordinance. There are legitimate concerns about new technology.

Students in Mike River's and Todd DeJong's sixth grade classes recently fin­ ished designing and con­ structing birdhouses. Each team of two students was given the task of drawing a three-dimensional design for its birdhouse before they would be able to construct it. The design had to fit five feet of wood, and if they did not use all of the wood, their grade would go down. Once they finished the first birdhouse, they went to a quality control system to improve on the second one. The teachers discovered that students thought it was a great project, but that it was hard to accomplish. Doug Cook donated the wood from his sawmill and David Coble donated the nails. It s spring — time to clean out the gutters, tune up the lawnmower and wash down the windows. But as you attend to these ty pes of tasks around your home, why not take the time to do some financial “spring cleaning" as well? consider Specifically, these moves: • “Dust off' your invest­ ment strategy. If there's an area in your home that you haven’t looked at for a while, you may need to dust it off in preparation for the new sea­ son. And the same principle may apply to your invest­ if you ment strategy haven't examined it for a while, it may be time to clean it up to prepare for a new season in your life. After all, since you initially designed your investment strategy — that is, the total amount you invest, the percentages going into “growth” and “income” vehicles, the dollars going into taxable versus taxdeferred accounts and so on — many things may have changed for you, such as your employment situation, the number of children in your household and even your long-term goals. Consequently, you may need to revise your investment strategy in consultation with your financial advisor. • “De-clutter” your port­ folio. The chances are pretty good that if you look around your house, you'll find many things that are actually dupli­ cates, such as those five cof­ the form of adequate life and disability insurance. Review your coverage to make sure it’s still adequate for your needs. • Open up the windows of opportunity. After a long winter, you'll find it pleasant to open the windows of your home and let in the sun and the air. And as an investor, you’ll find “windows of opportunity" through which you can open yourself up to good investment possibili­ ties. For example, even though we've clearly been in a challenging economy the past couple of years, a num­ ber of factors - such as low interest rates, improved corporate earnings and favor­ able stock valuations (the price you pay for a stock, rel­ ative to its earnings) — have actually meant that it's been a pretty good environment for investors looking tor quality stocks.

And when you take a close look at your portfolio, you might find several invest­ ments that you've added over time and that are similar to each other. If that’s the case, you might help yourself by selling the “redundant investments and using the proceeds to buy different ones that can help you diver­ sify your portfolio. (Keep in mind that while diversifica­ tion can help reduce the effects of volatility on your portfolio, it can't guarantee gains or prevent losses.) Prepare • yourselfforstormy weather. During springtime, we often experi­ ence heavy rains, hailstorms, high winds and other types of inclement weather. That's why we keep our roofs in good shape, keep branches away from our homes and take other steps to protect our houses and property from the ravages of Mother Nature.

The seeds were planted in lava rocks and water and put under lights next to the windows. “The kids were challenged to think about growing plants without soil. This led to many questions about how this could be done,” said Wissink. He added that the focus of this project was to challenge kids to inquire about the future and how plants could be grown on the moon or even other planets. The first tomato was har­ vested March 23. Several other, larger tomatoes, are almost ready to harvest. The students will get to sample the tomatoes.

March 26, 2011 From Our Readers Carveth Village residents celebrates St. Patrick’s Day Local Citizens Speak Out On Issues Dogs could improve discussion To the editor: Pet owners in general and dog owners in particular, beware, natural instincts of sniffing and showing kind­ ness to humans in public places may soon become illegal. A letter to the editor in the March 12 Sun and News, “Have Caledonia Township offices gone to the dogs?” appeared to be more about human issues rather than canine issues. The writer was quick to note that the offices were well planned out but “not overdone.” I judged the writer was praising the town­ ship for being fiscally con­ servative in its planning and construction of the new facil­ ity. Why didn’t he just say - A » so? In addition, anyone who lives in the township or vil­ lage more than likely will visit the public offices to conduct business sometime during the year. The resi­ dents of Caledonia are fortu­ nate to live in a community where government employ­ ees do not act in a stereotyp­ ical manner. However, the writer did not hesitate to cast reason­ able doubt on the staff when he stated, “and a few times not” referring to helpful, courteous and professional. Again, would it not have been easier to say that he understood how, from time to time, employees in the office may be busy and not able to address his concerns immediately. And the coup de grace is nothing more than a “cold wet nose” attached to what the author believed to be was a golden retriever, a kind and loving breed. What a novel idea, have a loving, kind, wet-nosed dog greet your customers at the door. Just think how this might improve the discussion and dialog between the humans in the room. Dogs and ani­ mals in general have been shown to be effective thera­ pist in resolving tension and stress. It sounds like the author could use a “cold wet nose.” Bene Lynn Benedict, Caledonia Contest to name park ends April 15 The Village of Middleville is holding a contest to name the newest park which includes 20 acres of woods and prairie.

He said that as he watched a three-point barrage by 2005 TK graduate Dave Finkbeiner, which led the Trojan team to a 106-101 come-from-behind victory over host Caledonia in the 2nd Annual Ann ual Alumni Basketball Game Friday night. Noah and the mature" Trojan varsity basketball alumni made up of player that graduated prior to 2005, fell behind Caledonia “coach” Tom Patterson and his group, which graduated prior to 2000, 53-43 through the first two 25-minute halves of running-clock bas­ ketball. “I realized I was guarding a lot of (Class of) 98s and a lot of younger guys,” said the 1983 TKHS graduate Noah at the intermission. “That made a big differ­ ence.” “I think (Caledonia built its lead) because they were younger, in better shape. Their older guys were a little younger. That’s what we'll claim. Of course, I have nothing to back that up.” more The recent Thornapple Kellogg alumni pulled ahead for the first time at 77-75 on a threepointer by Finkbeiner just over a minute gone by in the second of their two 25minute halves. Current Caledonia varsity boys' basketball coach Todd Bloemers, a 1998 CHS grad, attempted to lead a furious comeback running a press with a number of his former players.

The event was once again sponsored by the Middleville and Caledonia Rotary Clubs, with proceeds going to bene­ fit Rotary scholarships for high school seniors in the two communities. The two teams spent a couple of evenings over the past few weeks practicing for the event. “Both years have been a lot of fun for me,” Noah said. “The practices have been as much, fun as the games. Getting people together, it feels like family.” While Noah was officially as the TK coach in the pro­ gram, he got a lot of help off the bench from former TK varsity head coach Kurt Holzhueter organizing the shuttling of five players on and off the floor every five to distil toll minutes. “The challenge is getting 80 players in a game,” Noah said. “That’s a good prob­ lem, it's just a challenge to get 80 players into one night's event.” Patterson shared those sentiments. “We had fun practicing,” he said. “Practicing is half the fun of playing. We’re old guys getting older.” Giving a good spirited rib­ bing seemed to be the other half of the fun. “Kim Jones was one of six from the free throw line. I think that did it for us. He added to the Jones’ total,” Patterson said when asked about how his “mature mature” Scots built their first-half lead. Jones was the most senior of the Fighting Scots’ alum41 ni, a 1976 graduate. He scored the game's first point with his one make at the free throw line. That was fol­ lowed by a bucket from the Scots’ second eldest alum­ nus, Bruce O'Connor (1978). The oldest Trojan alum­ nus also scored his team’s first points. Mike Bremer, a 1968 graduate. TKHS CO h8 knocked down a jumper to pull the Trojans within 3-2.

Konarska said. “We are fortunate to have someone of his caliber join the Kent ISD team."

Smith replaces Bill Mieras, who will retire this summer as assistant superin­ tendent of organizational development and planning, and Marcia Logie, assistant superintendent of teaching and learning.

According to Phillips, the $470 reduction in per-pupil state aid means about a $2.1 million decrease in funding for Caledonia, the result of folding financing for com­ munity colleges and state universities into the state school aid fund. “Without including higher education in the K-12 budget. the K-12 budget would be increased; about a $200 increase would be possible,” he said. Phillips said there is also a proposal to solve some of the state's budget problems by taking fund balances (reserve funds) from school districts, which has been suggested by Sen. Jack Brandenburg, chair of the Senate Committee on Tax Policy. If adopted, the could proposal cost Caledonia as much as $9 million, the approximate amount currently in the reserve fund. While the idea is not new and has surfaced before, Phillips said Brandenburg's espousal of it has considerable force since his committee has the responsibility of figuring out how to fund the tax cut for by proposed business Governor Rick Snyder. The board of education meeting began with the introduction of the three can­ didates for the two seats on the board that are on the bal­ lot for the May 3 election. Tina Banning, 1099 Farm Grove Court, is running for the board. It is her first run for elective office. She is an insurance specialist who has worked extensively with nonprofit groups. Mike Patterson is running for his second term on the board and is currently board president. He is an account executive for a medical equipment manufacturer. Mary Anne Timmer is running for her first term; she was appointed to the board to fill a vacancy left when a imember resigned. She is a certified public accountant in private practice.

Absent from the meeting were board members Tom Ward and Cindy Ordway. Superintendent 1Gary Rider opened the meeting by telling everyone, “It is diffi­ cult to come up with a num­ ber on the budget. We don't even have the sense of where we are that we had last year." He emphasized that he and Marcy were not making spe­ cific :recommendations because they will not have numbers from the governor until April 16 or 17. During her presentation, Marcy said the district is pro­ jected to lose $470 per pupil between the 2010-11 and the 2011-12 school years. The district lost $170 this school year,, and the number they have heard for next year is $300 per pupil. The district has increases in retirement costs and will no longer be receiving feder­ al recovery dollars. Both Rider and Marcy noted the $900 million being trans­ ferred to community colleges and universities. One of the figures, which Marcy stressed is an estimate, is that the district could lose $2,276,000 in funding. discussed Members • e whether this reduction in fund balance to 4.5 percent would lead to an emergency manager" being assigned to the TK district. Several other require­ ments would have to be met before a manager would be assigned, said Rider. “We will have to cut expenses if the shortfall Chris Warren, the princi­ Lake pal of Kettle Elementary School, welcorned the board to the facil­ ity. Warren has been on a leave of absence due to recent knee surgery. The board moved into its Phillips regular agenda. explained several changes to i policies recommended by NEOLA Inc., the company that provides up-to-date rec­ ommendations for school districts on changes to poli­ cies to enable districts to remain in compliance with both federal and state laws. Four of the policies are new. Children who have mil­ itary parents on active duty are entitled to all the services a district offers. These chil­ dren now have the same sta­ tus as foster children, home­ less children, and children with disabilities. Annual evaluations of school person­ nel now must include data from student evaluations. Financial data such as con­ tracts, salaries, and checks reaches this amount," he said. Rider and Marcy ended the presentation by remind­ ing board members that they would be returning with details, once the governor's budget proposal is released. He said he wants to sustain the district's world-class programs, educational improve; student achieve­ ment, be fiscally responsible and good stewards of comresources and m unity employ high-quality instructional and support staff. “What’s best for kids and their preparation for adult lite is our first priority. ” he added. The next regular meeting of the Thomapple Kellogg Board of Education, because of spring break, is Monday, April 18, at 7 p.m. in Room 1616 at the Thornapple Kellogg Middle School. Thornapp|e Twp. Planning Commission elects officers, ends permits by Patricia Johns Staff Writer Monday, March 28, the Thornapple Township Planning Commission meet­ ing was quiet and short. Administrator Catherine Beyer reported that so far in 2011, no building permits have been issued and the code enforcement officer, Don Ford, has had his hours cut to just two mornings per week. Commissioners welcomed new member Tom Kilgore to his first meeting. They also elected incumbents Mark Sevald chairperson, as Sharon Allen as vice chair­ person and Linda Gasper as secretary. The commission terminat­ ed two special-use permits for daycare. Special use No. Reapportionment Committee awaiting final census data by Sandra Ponsetto Staff Writer Barry County has not received the official numbers from the 2010 United States Census Bureau, but County Clerk and Chair of the coun­ ty's Reapportionment Committee Pam Jarvis said she expects to receive the information within a week. Once the county receives the CD with the official census data from the Michigan Secretary of State office, the committee will have a 60day window to submit its recommendation regarding redistricting of the county which will determine the number of commissioners on the county board.* Jarvis said preliminary numbers from the 2040 Census indicate that the pop­ ulation of Barry County increased from 56,756 in 2000 to 59,173 in 2010 with the largest growth in popula­ tion in Irving Township, which saw a^21.2 percent increase, and Thornapple Township, which had a 17.9 percent increase. Woodland Township was on the other end of the spectrum with the largest decrease, 3.9 percent, in population. “There were seven town­ ships that lost population and that includes cities, she said. major revision defines grad­ requirements uation to include on-line and college courses. Other policy revi­ sions extend protections against genetic discrimina­ tion to all professional, sup­ port, and other staff employed by a school dis­ trict. The board adopted all the changes unanimously. The board approved the annual contracts of the fol­ lowing 13 administrators: Joshua Traughber, Caledonia Darrell Elementary; Dutton Kingsbury, Elementary; Tony Silveri, Emmons Lake Elementary; Chris Warren, Kettle Lake Elementary; Janel Switzer, Paris Ridge Elementary Childhood School/Early Ryan Graham, Center; Middle Lake Duncan Glazier, James .School; Caledonia High School; James Crites, Caledonia High School; and Scott Weis, Caledonia High School. written by a district must be on-line; for the purpose of transparency. Finally, a new policy bans all use of tobac­ co in any form by anyone at any time or at any school event. Several policies were revised. Although Caledonia does not hand out directories listing students and does not supply student photos unless there is a release form on file, some districts do. Districts must now remove names, photos, and other information from a directory or a paper when requested to do so. Districts are also pro­ hibited from recording in any fashion student productions of patented plays such as the recent performances of “Fiddler on the Roof." A major policy revision now requires districts to fol­ low reporting and other guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control for MRSA (multi-drug resistant staphylococcus aureus) and H1N1 infections. Another Preliminary numbers indi­ cate that the population of the city of Hastings increased 3.6 percent, from 7,095 to 7,350 during the past decade. “Hastings is no longer the largest municipality. Thomapple Township (pop­ ulation 7,884) is now the largest municipality in the county,” said Jarvis. “The see nupnmum pg. i V i hl I *r ri i 11-X.

According to Jim Glazier, for the first time ever, tickets will be issued for seats at the graduation cere­ mony. “The reason is that this year’s class is the largest one we have ever had. Last year, we barely made it,” he said, adding, “Plans call for the issuance of eight tickets to Alto Firemen’s PANCAKE SUPPER Pancakes, Eggs, Sausage, Coffee and Milk the parents of each graduate. I want to be sure parents get tickets.” Reviewing some CHS activities, Glazier said the theater department had done two plays in the fall; the FFA had done very well in its regional competition, three choirs had participated in the state competition, DECA was sending nine students to the national convention, and Olivia Elzinga, a prize-win­ ning photographer at CHS, had several photographs dis­ played in the new Caledonia Library. At the end of the meeting Phillips noted that March was reading month; the weather was having a severe impact on the spring sports schedule; eighth-grade stu­ dent Katrina Bursch partici­ pated in the finals in the statewide spelling bee at the Ford Museum, and the school now has a Facebook page listing student awards.

The committee must obey the following guide­ lines regarding redistricting: Districts must be contiguous, compact and square; town­ ships are not generally com­ bined with cities; townships, villages and cities generally are not to be divided; precincts are divided only to meet population standards; and there shall be no partisan political advantage in the redistricting. While the committee has had only one informational and organizational meeting so far, members have seen preliminary numbers and are starting to research what reapportionment might look like for Barry County. Jarvis said, based on popu­ lation, Barry County can have as few as five commis­ sioners and as many as 21. “There have been different numbers thrown around about reapportionment and redistricting,” said Jarvis. “I have asked the county map­ ping department what it would it look like if we went to five, or seven, stayed at eight commissioners, or went to nine. I asked them to see what it would look like divided up.” Jarvis said she also has compared Barry County to other counties with similar populations. “Branch and Alpena coun­ ties currently have eight dis­ tricts each,” she said. “Our county commissioners cur­ rently have approximately 7,000 to 7,500 constituents. Ten years ago, those compa­ rable counties had approxi­ mately 7,094. Ten years ago, Ionia and Tuscola counties each had five districts with 11,000 to 12,000 constituents in each. Cass County has 15 commission­ ers each with approximately 3,400 people.” Members of the county reapportionment committee said that despite their prelim­ inary research into redistrict­ ing, it is early in the process, 06745337 ||^ 125 F Hastings City Bank Call for Student Art! i In honor of our 125th Anniversary of Community Banking, Hastings City Bank is partnering with the Thornapple Arts Council to offer a student art contest.

I think with our current economic situation it may just come down to finances, and we may all have to tighten our belts.” “At this point, we haven’t received the certified num­ bers, and we can't really tell what the numbers will actually be said Jelsma. “I haven’t drawn anything up yet, but I can say I wouldn't support increasing the num­ ber of commissioners; I don't think it is warranted with the size of our county.” “It appears that population shifts will demand redistrict­ ing,” said Evans. “The reap­ commission portionment will have to create new coun­ ty commission districts divided evenly by popula­ tion. Aside from that, the reapportionment commission will have to decide if the number of commissioner dis- out pretty well since Whave been here, but with a project­ ed budget shortfall of $1.4 million, cost-cutting meas­ ures including a reduction in county commissioners will have to be weighed. “The reapportionment commission meetings are open to the public, and I would love to hear what other folks in the community think before I cast my vote,” he added. “I haven’t made up my mind and as to what is best for the county, it’s something I want to stay away from right now because as the chairperson, it may be up to me to cast the deciding vote,” said Jarvis. Jarvis said reapportion­ ment committee meetings will be posted on the bulletin boards in the Barry County Courthouse as required for all special committee meet­ ings. Once the committee devis­ es a redistricting plan, it will be filed with the county clerk's office. After it is filed, any registered voter in the county may file with the Michigan Court of Appeals to determine whether it meets state guidelines. That decision may be appealed to the Michigan State Supreme Court. Once finalized, the reapportionment would go into effect during the next even-year election, in 2012.

This is how 1 help my school and community. (Accompanying the essay is a picture of a little girl standing next to a big trash bag and a picture of the school.) by Patricia Johns Sfa# Writer The General Federation of Women's Club-Gun Lake area held its sixth annual essay contest to celebrate reading month. The topic was “What 1 do to help my community?" The club received more than 150 essays written by children in grades one through six. The contest was open to high school students but no essays were submitted from students in the high school level by the .March 18 deadline. The area covered by the contest included the four school districts within the Gun Lake; area: Delton Kellogg, Martin, Thomapple Kellogg and Wayland Union. Essays were 500 words or less. Younger students illustrated their essays with pictures. Judging of the essays followed the monthly book discussion by club members March 21. Each winner will receive a $20 gift certificate to Barnes and Noble, said club member and essay contest coordinator Ruth Perino. Usually there is one win­ ner selected from grades kindergarten through second, third through fifth, middle school and high school. This year, because of the quality and number of essays received, the winners are first grader Morgan Stidman from Delton Kellogg Elementary School, second grader Dominic Alexander from Wayland Union School, third grader Isaac Brandon Dykstra from School Elementary in Martin, and fourth grader Dora Koski from Thornapple Kellogg’s Page Elementary School. ’Pine Street Elementary School in Wayland submit­ ted more than 50 essays from sixth graders The GFWCGun Lake area women's club judges selected two winners. IIIIHIII o & Writing a grant by Dora Koski Page Elementary School Helping a school or com­ munity can make a big dif­ ference in our world. One day, my teacher, Mrs. Keizer, offered me the chance to write a grant to the YAC Foundation requesting books for students at Page Elementary to devour. I defi­ nitely took it! I worked with a small group of other fourth and fifth graders to discuss and write a challenging applica­ tion. We were proud of our­ selves for dedicating time to hopefully help our school. After the request was sub­ mitted, I woke up every day wondering and hoping it was going to be accepted. Then, that day arrived. We found out that the grant was accepted by YAC! My eyes widened in shock, tears then formed and dripped down my cheek. I was so proud of myself 'for helping our school become better read­ ers. We used the $ 1,000 during an after-school field trip to Barnes & Noble to purchase the most popular books. We made an accomplishment, and I felt like 1 made a huge difference for the legacy of literacy at Page Elementary and our community!

N * Now that spring is here, you may find it easier to get outside to run, bike or take part in other physical pur­ suits that you enjoy. As you know, the more active you are, the more efficiently your body will work. And the same can hold true for your investments the more exercise they get, the more potential to work on your behalf. Just how do investments get “exercise”? Through lots of activity. And you can keep your investments active in at least two ways: through 5y^investing tematic and '’W iw I 1 W?? L J iX & Ih;;<] i Q i Ss through dividend reinvest­ ment. Let’s take a look at both these techniques. When you engage in sys­ tematic investing, commonly called "dollar cost averag­ ing," you are continuously putting your money “in motion.” Essentially, you put the same amount of money into the same investments at regular intervals. So, for example, you might decide to invest $100 per month, in Company ABC stock. To impose this investment disci­ pline on yourself, you could even have the money sent directly from your checking 06745670 &PRH. (Jhock out VLIA £aAh2A (Dq££)A!

Of course, since the price of ABC stock, like that of all stocks, is constantly chang­ ing, your $100 investment will buy different numbers of shares each month. This can work to your advantage, because when the stock price of ABC goes down, your $100 will buy more shares. When the price goes up ’ you'll automatically be a smart enough “shopper” to buy fewer shares, just as you'd typically buy less of something when its price goes up. Over time, systematic investing typically results in an average cost per share that's lower than it would be if you were to make sporadic lump sum investments, If you can lower the cost of investing, this may help boost investment your returns. This also can be an effective way to fund your retirement account(s) each year. (Keep in mind, though, that even systematic invest­ ing can't guarantee a profit or prevent a loss in declining markets. Also, you'll need to have the financial resources available to keep investing through up and down mar­ kets.) Dividend reinvestment is similar to systematic invest­ ing in that it allows you to build more shares of an investment. But when you reinvest dividends, you don't even have to take money from other sources to increase your shares — you simply have to request that a stock or a mutual fund, instead of paying you a divi­ dend in cash, reinvest the dividend right back into that same stock or mutual fund. It's an effortless way of adding shares. Similar to dollar-cost averaging, dividend reinvestment imposes an investment discipline on you — you automatically keep putting money in the market during up and down periods. (Keep in mind that dividends can be increased, decreased or totally eliminated) Exercising your invest­ ment dollars in these ways can help you go a long way toward keeping your portfo- Continued next column kj L - r 1 .jj * 1 I CT r CV Vf ^41 > 1X ^•i ■ J rJ * -y J r I I it ♦ 9 I, ■ ■ 1 V-i.

Unbeknownst to them, their dad. Chief Warrant Officer 2 Chris Sensing, was set up through a Skype connection to read to the students. He is a helicop­ ter pilot and read Happy Helicopters by Jill Turner and Noeline Cassettari. Originally, McFall Principal Jon Washburn had hoped to surprise Kristen Sensing as well, but the news of the special reader leaked out before March 30. High school tech aides Dylan Walker and Matt LeMay helped set up and monitored the connection. It was night in Iraq but 2 p.m. in Middleville. The book was read by Chris Sensing and Kristen Sensing held the book in the classroom and turned the pages so the students could follow the activities of the brightly colored helicopters. Chris Sensing had previ­ ously talked to Whitney's stu­ dents about his being a heli­ copter pilot and the students knew his helicopter was cam­ ouflage-colored. Washbum said this was a high point of the many read­ ing month activities at McFall which is a school for Young Fives, kindergarten and first grade students.

Cumbie is an experi­ enced speaker, musician and worship leader. “He will inspire any audi­ ence with his knowledge, wit and incredible sense of humor,” said Father Mark Bauer, pastor of Holy Family Catholic Church. “He is from the heart of the Deep South and a former evangelical pas­ tor, now Roman Catholic, and in love with the Catholic faith.” His has an interesting story, and his love for the faith helps members of the church delve deeper into the Catholic identity, and grow in understanding of the Mass, the Church, and the Catholic faith, said Bauer. , “With our new translation of the Roman Missal coming out, there is a refocusing or reawakening of the impor­ tance of the Mass and appre­ ciate of the Eucharist,” Bauer said. “This mission can help draw us even closer and deeper to our Mass and the Liturgy and ultimately to our Lord. We hope the communi­ ty feels welcome to join us in our parish mission.” This event is free and open to the public. Area residents can reserve an hour of the evenings during Lent from 7 to 8 p.m. from Sunday, April 10, through Wednesday, April 13.

J* * �-•* — Page 12/The Sun and News, Saturday, April 2, 2011 Nearly 1,000 take part in Barry-Roubaix road race by Patricia Johns Staff Writer Organizer Rick Plite said 1,046 racers registered for the 2011 edition of the BarryRoubaix gravel road race which was held Saturday, March 26, and 950 of them made it to the start line. It was the third BarryRoubaix. At the 2009 event, there were just under 250 rid­ ers and in 2010 there were 800. Plite said, “the fact that we only lost 10 percent of the pre-registered riders proves just how hardcore cyclists are and how much we love what we do. The couch 1 tatoes must be thinking who the hell would ride a bike in tempera­ tures below freezing and then toss in a wind chill from a cyclist moving 15-20 miles per hour. That’s about 10 degrees above •A zero.” Saturday was sunny and the winds were pretty light. In addition to the almost 1000 cyclists there were 100 volun­ teers working to make the event a success. There are three routes, a 65-mile route, a 35-mile route and a 23-mile route. The waves of racers left every two minutes after 10 a.m. Providing assistance were the Barry County Sheriff’s Department and the Yankee Springs division of Thornapple . Township Emergency Services.

Marley and John TenCate, who live in the Gun Lake area, cheered on their nephew and niece Scott and Mamie TenCate from Ada. Scott rode the 35-mile loop in the Men’s 45-49 division. His time was 2:00:33. Marnie also rode in the 35-mile loop, and finished with a time of •I< * 2:13:06. Marley says, “this was the first time we cheered for someone in a ‘gravel road race.’It’s great to see our area getting involved and volunteering for the ‘sport of it. At the end Eric Box and Samantha Brode were the top man and woman in the 2011 Barry-Roubaix 65-mile event, Don Cameron and Kathy Everts were the top man and woman in the 35-mile event, and Trevor Smela and Sherry Martin were the top man and woman in the 23-mile event. Plite said, “the week leading up to the event was pretty wild here in Michigan. We have had a colder than normal March and on Wednesday before the race the state was hit with a huge storm. Over a foot of snow fell just 2.5 hours north of us and the middie of the state was hit with a bad ice storm knocking out trees, power, etc.” Plite added. we even experienced some mild icing in Grand Rapids, mild in terms of driving or walking but if that had fallen on the Gun Lake area just two days later we would have really 995 !d 8196 BROADMOOR AVE.

Village planner Geoff Moffat said the commission­ ers would receive the final updated ordinances by the end of next week. He recom­ mended focusing on updat­ ing of zoning ordinances during the May 3 planning commission meeting. He added that commission members can contact him with questions before that meeting as well. commission Planning member David NewTnan had a question about why nox­ ious weeds were not in the Moffat update. this explained that the noxious weed ordinance was no longer a zoning ordinance. The village members of the joint planning committee discussed the last meeting they had with their fellow members from Thomapple Township on March 23. Both groups are doing research into whether this should be a committee on the "joint planning area" or a possible joint planning com­ mission. Questions being raised include whether the two communities will "lose their identity" and whether there would be more funding from the state if there is a joint commission. The next joint planning committee meeting is set for April Wednesday, 27. Members will discuss draw­ backs, advantages and infor­ mation from other communi­ ties. Moffat told the mem­ bers of the commission that at this current time there are no requests for zoning changes in the joint area. Moffat told the group that work on the new bridge over the Thornapple River is ahead of schedule but no date has yet been set for a grand opening ceremony. However, he assured them that they would be invited to the ribbon cutting.

Caledonia Twp. Board persuaded to join economic development agency by Fran Faverman Staff Writer During its April 6 meet­ ing, the Caledonia Township Board of Trustees was per­ suaded by Birgit Klohs, pres­ ident and chief executive officer of The Right Place, Inc., that it was time to join the economic development agency as an investor. The agency, founded in 1986, is celebrating its 25th anniversary; it is a part- nership of private and public entities and serves as a point of entry for new businesses and businesses seeking to expand. Klohs said retention of existing businesses was the first objective. "New businesses do not come to dying communi­ ties," she said. A second objective is expansion, said Klohs. She cited the agency's role over a two-year period in assisting Farmers' Insurance Company to locate its new training center in Caledonia. She said the effort began when a locally owned com­ pany, Foremost Insurance, was purchased by Farmers, which is headquartered in Los Angeles. She said Farmers had to make a deci­ sion about where to locate a training center for its agents and personnel located east of the Mississippi River. Klohs said there was com­ petition. "We always compete for these jobs," she said. The involvement of the Michigan Economic Growth Agency (MEGA), then-gov­ ernor Jennifer Granholm, and trips made to Lansing to testify before MEGA by township Supervisor Bryan Harrison and others were all part of the process that even­ tually brought the promise of Orangeville adopts tight budget; Hermenitt to retire from fire dept. rd 136th year by Fran Faverman Staff Writer The Orangeville Township Board of Trustees adopted a budget for its upcoming fiscal year at last Tuesday's meeting. Township Supervisor Tom Rook summed up the impact of the narrow surplus revenues between and expenditures of $695.00. saying. "There is no room for errors or emergencies." The budget does not include expenditures for roads; that expenditure is supported by a dedicated millage. The budget is4he result of four workshop sessions held during the month of March with the required public hearing held during the March 29 workshop. In other moves related to the budget, the board approved a transfer of $20,000 from the general fund to the fire department's capital improvement fund. The fund is earmarked for equipment and necessary capital expenses incurred by the department. The board also approved a transfer of $5,000 from the general fund to the capital improvement and Parks fund for Recreation. Following a second tragic accident involving Norris Road, there was extensive discussion over joining a grant request from Barry Township for a similar project on Orchard Road where a young couple died when their vehicle went into a swamp a few weeks ago. A letter from the Barn County Road Commission said that an application for grant funds* could be completed and both projects would be funded from the grant it the commission is successful. However the tradeoff is that construction of the Norris Road guard rail would be put off until the 2012 construction season, meaning another winter without a guard rail on Norris Road. The letter also advised that if the appli­ cation were unsuccessful, the current planned placement of a guard rail on Norris would proceed. The board agreed to allow the road commission to put the two projects together. David Kok, owner of DK Management, Landscape appeared asking for guidance on cemeteries cleaning before the Memorial Day weekend. At issue is the sub­ ject of plastic grave decorations. Noting that last year, the removal of the decorations had aroused consideraable comment, Kok asked, JWhat do you want us to do?" "The ordinance requires removal of plastic flowers by April 1," said Township Treasurer Vicki Ritchie. In the ensuing discussion. Trustee Linda Ribble noted that the ordinance had not been enforced and there was a need to reeducate people. Dan Boulter, chief of the : Fire Orangeville Department, said that his department took care of removing old flags from the graves of veterans and placing new ones on the sites. It that Kok would was agreed © deal with the plastic flowers and the fire department would continue to be responsible for the flags. Boulter began his report by announcing the retirement of Dave Hermenitt as assis­ tant chief and his placement on the inactive reserve list. See ORANGEVILLE, pg. 2 1,600 good jobs to Caledonia and an $84 million construc­ tion project. Klohs told the board that she had previously appeared before them to urge adoption of a tax-abatement policy on real property and on the per­ sonal property used by com­ panies to operate their busi­ nesses. "It is our first request for funds from you," she said. Treasurer Richard Robertson led off the ques­ tions. He asked Michael DeVries, Grand Rapids Township supervisor and Right Place board member, "How did you do it? DeVries responded that they were able to make a commitment by folding it in under the umbrella of eco­ nomic development. The board then got down to negotiating; the agency's request was for a commit­ ment of $25,000 over five years; Harrison immediately responded that $12>5OO over five years was more appro­ priate. Robertson, after duly not­ ing that the item had not been anticipated when the current budget was built, said. "$3,000 a year for five years tor $15,000 is something I am comfortable __ with." Trustee Greg Zoller moved to approve a motion to support Right Place. Inc. at the level recommended by Robertson. The motion was unanimously approved. Although the agency is a public-private group, its pro­ ceedings are not subject to the state's Freedom of Information law nor are its meetings open to the public. "We handle lots of confi­ dential data from companies who have to be able to be sure of privacy. We are a economic state-certified development agency and we Kent all of represent Klohs, said County, responding to a question from Harrison. In This Issue • State Rep.

He also reported the department had responded to 18 calls in March and a total of 61 dur­ ing the quarter ending March 31. The majority of the calls were medical. The depart­ ment currently stands at 21 members; two are currently on leave. Tests of the weather warn­ ing siren will begin on the first Saturday of the month. The siren will not be sound­ ed if the National Weather Service Dispatch Center has already sent alerts of severe weather, he said. Craig Stolsonburg, chair­ man of the Barry County Board of Commissioners and representing District 6, said there will be a night meeting of the board at 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 12 in the County Circuit Courtroom. While it is a regular meeting of the board, the board will »!• hear a presentation by its attorney regarding budget cuts for non-mandated serv­ ices and mandated services. Also up for discussion will be a draft policy on the use of the delinquent tax-refund, a fund that reimburses com­ munities for delinquent real property taxes. "What are you thinking of as a policy?" asked Township Trustee Robert Perino. Stolsonburg's response of a possible one­ time payment drew a second question of Perino: "Where are you in your budget cycle?" The response was they were looking at June. Stolsonburg concluded his report saying that Judge James Fisher announced he was retiring June 17, and that a third applicant for the citi­ zen-at-large post on the 911 board was needed before the commissioners could begin to interview candidates. Mark Paradowski, chair­ man of the Parks and Recreation Committee, said he had a quote of $400 to repair the damage done to ballfields by vandals, who created deep ruts and tore up grass creating figure-8 pat­ terns. Additional dirt will be brought in fill the ruts, the area leveled, and hydro-seed­ ed. He reported the conces­ sion had received an inspec­ tion visit from the BarryEaton Health Department and the committee now had specific instructions on what needs to be done to make the stand acceptable to the department. A screened passthrough window for food is required as well as a hand sink. The person in charged needs to be certified as a food technician. All food must be cooked in a certified kitchen and held at 140 degrees. Preparations for Orangeville Days are pro­ ceeding. The Taste of Gun Lake feature will run from Aug. 14-20 at participating restaurants around Gun 4 Lake. Paradowski said the decision was made to limit the event to the immediate area because of the difficulty last year in getting some par­ ticipants to understand the process. A car show is also scheduled. An upcoming event is a Frisbee •ft olf tournament scheduled for Saturday, April 30 at the 26-acre course. He said the course is regarded by devotees of the sport as one of the finest r available to them. Marlene Leep, represent­ ing the Friends of the J.C. Wheeler Library, reported that a recent book sale was very successful and the group will be organizing a campaign to raise funds for the Library's Wish List. She also noted that an anony­ mous donor had given $5,000 solely for the pur­ chase of books. A summer reading program is being planned and a spring book event is to be held Saturday, April 9. During the final public comment period, an uniden­ tified resident rose to ask about maintenance on dirt •It roads, adding that gravel was badly needed on her road. Rook explained that the road commission applies gravel every two years. The next regularly sched­ uled meeting of the board will be on Tuesday, May 3 at 7 p.m. in the Orangeville Township Hall, 7350 Lindsey Road. State Rep.

Spon­ sored by the Health Resource Network, a non-profit health education group, Stress Month Awareness is designed to promote aware­ ness about ways to reduce stress in our lives. And if you're a member of the socalled “Sandwich Generation," you may well have plenty of stress to deal with — especially financial stress. And that's why you may want to look at this month as an opportunity to explore ways of “de-stressing” yourself. To understand the scope of the problem facing people in your situation, consider this: One out of every eight Americans aged 40 to 60 is both raising a child and car­ ing for an aging parent, according to the Pew Research Center. The defini­ tion of “caring" for an elder­ ly parent can range from actually having the parent living in one’s home to help­ ing pay for the parent’s stay in an assisted living or nurs­ ing home facility. When you consider the costs involved in this type of care, added to ITS BETTER TO REVIEW YOUR ANNUITY THAN RETHINK YOUR Ml RETIREMENT. If you own an annuity, it just makes sense to review it every now and then. That’s why we offer complimentary annuity reviews. Then you can make sure your annuity /ft * stays in sync with your goals. Plus, there may be features your current annuity simply doesn’t offer. So regardless of where you purchased your annuity, call today to schedule your compli­ mentary review. the expenses of raising your children, and possibly even providing some financial support to them as young adults, it's easy to see that you could potentially face enormous strains, both emo­ tionally and financially. To help ease this burden, . consider these suggestions:• Save. As a Sandwich Generation member, you're probably within shouting distance of your own retire­ ment — so you need to be saving for it. This may not be easy. You don't know how much financial support you may someday have to pro­ vide your elderly parents — and even after your children are grown, they may need help from you. some Unfortunately, in helping these “boomerang" children, many people have to disrupt their day-to-day cash flow and raid their savings. That's why it’s important to try to “pay yourself first" by defer­ ring part of each paycheck into your 401 (k) and by auto­ matically moving money, each month, from your checking or savings account into your IRA. • Talk. Many people in the “Greatest Generation" (over age 80) have not even pre­ pared a will, so, if your par­ ents are in that group, you may want to talk to them about taking action. Also, find out whom, if anyone, is handling their investments. And ask if your parents understand how Medicare works and if they need to add supplemental health insur­ ance, such as Medigap. Plus, you need to find out if your parents have created a power of attorney or health care directive. It’s best to have these conversations sooner, rather than later. • Delegate. You eventually may have to take some responsibility for your par­ ents’ care — but you don't have to do it alone. You could, for example, work with a financial services provider that offers trust services, which can be invaluable if your parents are incapacitated, but which are useful even if they aren't. A professional trust officer can, among other duties, help manage your parents' invest­ ments, pay their bills, keep their records and supervise distribution of their assets to beneficiaries. In short, a qualified trust officer can make life a lot easier for yom Stress Awareness Month only lasts 30 days, but by taking the right steps, you can de-stress yourself for many years to come. After all, just because you're in the Sandwich Generation, It doesn’t mean you have to be squished.” This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.

We put the needs of the vulnera­ ble first and show respect for our Creator by caring for our earth.” The Hair Raiser event was held to draw the Holy Family community and the local community together as well as apply these teach­ ings.

The influx of athletes is being added to an already strong group of upperclass­ men to create a roster of 53 a iris for head coach Joe o Zomerlei, who’s entering his 35th season leading the Fighting Scot girls’ team. There are senior leaders in most events to help out the youngsters. That group of returning seniors is led by Ashley Churchill in the hur­ dles, long jump and relays, Lisa Schultz in the distance races, Emily Hazelbach in the middle distance races, Alex Bunce in the sprints, Brooke Hogan in the throws, and Courtney Stauffer in the distance races. The Scots also expect another season of great per­ formances from juniors Asia Slagter in the high jump, the 400-meter dash and the relays, and Hannah Schroeder in the distance events. Those girls helped the Fighting Scots to a fourth­ place finish at their Division I Regional Meet last year, despite not having a single state qualifying perform­ ance. “This should be a very good team," Zomerlei said. The Scots will need to be very good to compete for one of the top spots in the OK Gold Conference. The Scots probably have more depth than their competitors, but Forest Hills Eastern, Thornapple Kellogg and South Christian return talent­ ed teams. The Fighting Scots are already 1-0 in the league, thanks to an opening victory over Wayland.

That wise man was Brent Biermacher. Brent was a young, smart and cared for son, a loving brother and a dedicated uncle. Brent loved to garden and cook with his mother, search through swamps with his nephews and hang at the lake with all his family. Brent was a man of knowl­ edge. If anyone had a question...Brent knew the an­ swer. Brent was truly a gift from God. In 2003 Brent was diagnosed with cancer. He fought it for several years but God said it was time.

Chairman Pro Tern Michael Lytle led the meet­ ing in the absence of President Charles Pullen. Trustee Sue Merrill also was absent. The most discussed issue was the assignment of the village’s residential waste hauler from Potters to Allied Waste/Republic Services. When Middleville changed to one waste hauler on one day a week about 18 months ago, there was sig­ nificant discussion, as well. While Adam and Eric Potter attended the meeting, Tom Mahoney, a representative from Allied Waste Republic Services, explained that the company will honor the con­ tract with the village, as writ­ ten. Recycling will still be col­ lected but will now go to the Kent County recycling site rather than to Holland. During discussion, the Mahoney was told of the importance that all trucks going into the village have the same name on them. The trucks will have magnetic signs once the change takes place in May. The signs will match the name of the com­ pany, Republic Services, which will be on the bills. Council was assured that Republic Services wants to do “everything in our power” to meet the needs of the vil­ also lage. Mahoney explained the company’s goal is to use efficient equip­ ment. Village residents will be receiving postcards announcing the change. including a toll-free tele­ judgment, the township was by Fran Faverman able to retain the terms most Staff Writer A new era for the important to the board.

Council approved this request which now allows the company move forward. A public hearing should be set after 60 days for the next step in this development. Another resolution under discussion was the request by Dill's Restaurant on Main Street for a new Class C license for an entertainment permit. This would give the restaurant the ability to pro- vide music, a piano area and perhaps a small dance floor. Some of the discussion included mention that the language in the state permit allows “topless" dancing. Dill's has not requested top­ less dancing, and Village Manager Rebecca Fleury stressed that village ordi­ nances prohibit this type of entertainment already. Following discussion, the resolution was approved by a vote of 4-1, with Phil VanNoord voting no.

Harrison explained the appointment of a planning committee for the Den Hartigh Park. Earlier this winter, Cherry Valley Company, Development owned by the Den Hartigh family, had submitted a pro­ posed letter of intent to the township regarding a possi­ ble donation of 200 acres to be used as parkland in return for a 20-year permitted min­ eral removal permit and access to family residences. According to Harrison, the Demolition creates space for welcome center Irving Township board talks Friday, people driving on M-37 at Main Street in Middleville saw equipment from Dan Valley Excavating taking down a building on the northeast corner.

According to the proclamation. Arbor Day was created by J. Sterling Morton in 1872 when he pro­ posed to the Nebraska Board of Agriculture that a special daY as'deto encourage and celebrate the planting of trees. Over the years, the day has come to be celebrated worldwide. Moving into the regular agenda, the council took up a contract with Hubbell, Roth, and Clark for services con­ nected to the village-owned wastewater treatment plant, Dan Erskine, trustee and village representative to the Caledonia Joint Sewer Committee, said the pro­ posed contract of $23,000 would cover additional serv­ ices beyond those provided in the original contract; the new contract would cover analysis of items needing replacement in order to receive a renewal of the plant's operating permit the JMichigan from Departments of Natural and Resources _ L. Environmental Quality. Regan said clarification was needed; Trustee Tim Overholt said there was not enough information on the services being provided, and he also questioned the ditterential rates of charges for different personnel. Erskine moved to table the contract; the motion was approved. Following a recommendation from Gilbert to appoint Julie Rines as treasurer.’ Trustee Gar)' Scholl moved to appoint Rines and the motion was approved unani­ mously. Rines replaces Jill Harrison who left for a posi­ tion in North Carolina. The council also approved permits for parades for Memorial Day, Western Week. Independence Day. Homecoming, Halloween and Christmas. Overholt questioned the inclusion of Western Week and - was informed that since the Western Week events take place on Main Street, a parade permit was needed to use a public street. Paul Galdes. village engi­ neer. reported on a problem regarding a malfunctioning sewage grinder. He recom­ mended waiting to see if the work done to repair the grinder would solve the problem. He said the existing village ordinance would cover any penalties and would be the responsibility of the resident. Failure to solve the problem will result in removal of the residence occupancy permit. Problems continue to beset attempts to monitor storm water infiltration into the sanitary sewer system. Attempts to collect the data, which was expected to be considerable because of runoff from melting snow, failed due to malfunctioning software, thus no data, Galdes said the software has been repaired and that he hoped spring rains would provide the needed data. Water on GlenGarry Drive near Lenten may be due to a leaking water main. Erskine noted that waster has accumulated in the catch basin at Lake and Main Streets. Erskine, reporting on the most recent meeting of the joint sewer committee, said the township was exploring the possibility of arranging to ship some sewage from the northern portion of Caledonia to Grand Rapids; such an arrangement could relieve capacity issues at the wastewater treatment plant and avoid a possible physical expansion of the plant. Scholl, who is the council liaison to the township board, reported that the report commissioned by the township from Williams and Works on the feasibility of a development downtown authority had been received and would be presented to a roundtable meeting with businesses and other affected parties before being taken up by the township board.

During the initial public comment period, Terry Muller appeared to present plans for the corrals for the cutting cattle and trail ride event that will occur Tuesday evening, June 21, as part of the opening-day fes­ tivities for Western Week. Regan noted that the site backs up to some residences and advised him to check with the neighbors and to investigate the insurance issues. Muller said previous events have been covered by having participants1 sign ... waivers relieving the village of liability. No action was taken by the council. The final council com­ ment period drew several remarks from council mem­ bers. Trustee Karen Hahn said a street light at the cor­ ner of Kinsey and Maple Streets was out. She urged drivers using the public park­ ing lot behind buildings on the north side of Main Street to watch out for children. Trustee Todd Grinage noted that eave troughs from the former Caledonia Public Library were lying on the ground, also that silt fences were needed at GlenGarry. Overholt mentioned a sink­ hole by the drain along the curb line of Emmons Street. “I’m glad my colleagues are noticing things on the street. said Erskine, citing maintenance in the parking lot behind the north side of Main Street. Regan said she wanted to see more patrols by the Kent Sheriff's County Department, and Erskine said teenagers appear to be out in early morning hours (3 to 4 a.m.), throwing tennis and golf balls at cars and houses.

And since your mortgage may well be the biggest financial transac­ tion you ever make — and one that can affect your long­ term financial goals, such as retirement — you'll want to weigh your options carefully. What types of choices might you face? Here are IH MK some of the most important ones: • Fixed or adjustable? With a fixed-rate mortgage, your payment will remain the same throughout the life of your loan. However, if hi i i interest rates drop signifi­ cantly below your mortgage rate, you may then be paying too much for your loan and will have to go through the time, effort and expense of With refinancing. an mortgage adjustable-rate 1 (ARM), your initial rate is «*BS' 1 V ■ likely quite low, so you can iy tea® afford a bigger mortgage. !«• This could be an advantage if i u you know your income will ®1 is am Im be rising or you are confident • hr mt you'll sell your house within the next five years. However, your ARM payment and 1 ■ M On, fe interest rate can rise substan­ 1 ri k is ta tety’ tially, even with caps in x fei place, and these adjustments titafer M 1 'ci• can affect your cash flow. •V ll'IF So, before taking out an 1 ARM, make sure you underdri stand the terms involved and how they will affect you down the road. • 15-year or 30-year? si taste These aren’t the only mort­ gage lengths available, but ■' jffi 1110 they are among the most UM K IB i1 common. The advantage of a i 15-year mortgage is that yjgj B you’ll pay it off quicker and, - 2<: fc in the process, potentially save thousands of dollars in % interest. The disadvantage, of course, is that you’ll like­ 5 ly need to come up with jg much bigger monthly pay­ » ■f ments than if you took out a 111. t II.' one, and only you can make the decisions that fit your sit­ uation. So think about your choices today, as they can have a big impact on your life tomorrow.

And since your mortgage payments will be lower with a 30-year loan, you'll have more money available each month to invest for the future. Over time, these extra investments can really add up. Suppose, for example, that you invested $100 a month to a tax-deferred vehi­ cle, such as a traditional IRA, that earned a hypotheti­ cal 7% average annual return. After 30 years, you'd end up with a little more than $1 17,000, before you started paying taxes on withdrawals. But if your 30-year mortgage freed up enough cash for you to contribute $300 a month to that same IRA, earning that same 7% average annual return, you’d accumulate more than $350,000 after 30 years, before taxes . That's a big difference — and the extra money could perk up your retirement lifestyle con­ siderably. Keep in mind, of course, that these examples don't reflect the performance of any available investments. Also, you will have to pay taxes when you start taking withdrawals from a tradition­ al IRA, and any withdrawals you make before you turn age 59_ might be subject to a 10% penalty. • Larger or smaller down payment? The bigger your down payment, the smaller your monthly payments, and the more you may have available to invest each month. But if you go with a smaller down payment, you most likely will initially have more money available for other purposes, such as pay­ ing down debt or purchasing investments. You'll have to compare the alternatives carefully. In fact, you'll have to com­ pare the options for each question we've looked at because mortgage issues have an emotional compo­ nent as well as a financial NEWEST CITIZEN ANNOUNCED Keira LeeAnn Novak, bom at Metro Health Hospital on March 25. 2011 at 12:16 p.m. to Jared and Amanda Novak of Hastings.

The public is invited to attend a free pizza dinner, from 5:30 to 6 p.m., with pre-registration. The presentations will be from 6 to 7:30 p.m. The April workshops, the same topic in Middleville and Hastings, are entitled “The New Face of Bullying: Playground, Facebook and Beyond.” The workshop focuses on how to help chil­ dren develop skills to deal with bullying in the 21st cen­ tury.

Every day, nearly 160,000 children in the U.S. stay home from school because of bullying. Bullying isn’t “just part of growing up,” said K& Chapman. It can have a last­ ing negative effect on the victim, the families, the bully, the school and the community. Bullying is a conscious, willful and delib­ erate hostile activity intended to harm another. Repeated acts over time that involve real or perceived imbalance •It of power with the more pow­ erful individual or group abusing those who are less powerful. Chapman began working in early childhood education as a teacher’s aide in 1972.

Purchasing Hospital Services in Middleville has announced that president and CEO Jerry L. Welsh is retir­ ing July 1. He has been employed with HPS for more than 30 years. He served in a variety of capacities during his time at HPS. Following his retirement Welsh said he will be volun­ teering his time and expertise to Hire Heroes USA, a non­ profit organization dedicated to helping veterans learn skills necessary to start a search for employment, including networking with companies to set up inter­ views and eventual hiring. “My decision to leave HPS is not an easy one, as I 77 have grown up at HPS, Welsh said. “The reason that 1 am comfortable in making this move is that I have one of the best teams and board 1 have seen at HPS in my 30 years. This combination gives me the confidence that I am leaving an organization in great hands, not only for day-to-day operations but a vision and ability for future success.” Tom LaPres will be succeeding Welsh as the new president and CEO leading the HPS team. “I am very humbled by this opportunity to lead this ever-growing organization and wouldn’t be able to take it in the direction its headed without the help of my fel­ low leadership team, board of managers and employ­ Ito ees,” LaPres said. “I am grateful for the board's due diligence in continuing to make the best decisions for this company and its future.” An open house will be held for Welsh June 23 at the HPS offices at 3275 N.

Harrison also indicated a need for a budget for con­ sultants and said that meet­ ings of the committee would need to be posted. The appointment of the commit­ tee was approved unani­ mously. A contract for lawn mow­ ing and care of the township cemeteries drew 10 bidders, six of whom met all the requirements outlined in the request for proposal. The proposal was for two years and required the bidders to provide services for all town­ ship properties and the ceme­ teries. Following discussion over resolution of issues that had arisen with the current contractor, Z’s Lawn Service, Clerk Jennifer sr* v < ■- r Christian said she was will­ ing to award the contract to the firm at an annual cost of $14,500. A representative from an unsuccessful bidder. Rustic Touch, objected to the award, saying there was no way a contractor could fulfill the agreement at $14,500 a year because of the cost of fuel. The contract was approved. In other actions, the board approved the following: • Creation of an agricultur­ al preservation fund, • Creation of a retention policy for video and audio records of public meetings, • Connection of the town­ ship hall to the public water system at a cost of $13,925. • Purchase of a new server and associated software for $5,898. • Reappointment of Ed Fischer to the zoning board of appeals and of Doug Curtis to the local officers compensation commission. • Appointment of Brad Happel to the zoning board Mother’s Day is around the corner!

During the public com­ ment period at the beginning of the meeting, Judy Harrison, president of the Caledonia Women's Club, rose to explain that the club had made arrangements to move its meeting place to the community room in the new Caledonia Public Library; the club meets on Mondays and the library is closed on Mondays. She asked if it would be possible to arrange access to the community room since it has a separate entrance, making it possible to enter the community room without goring through other portions of the library. After brief discussion, Bryan Harrison said he would see what arrangements could be made. Final board comments were made by Trustee Richard Snoeyink. who said that Cathy Nestell had become a certified market manager and that the Caledonia Farmers Market was actively seeking grants. The market will open May 12. Christian reminded everyone of the school board election Tuesday, May 3, and said absentee ballots are available. There is considerable interest in the ideal of a downtown development authority, according to Robertson. Harrison said a roundtable meeting with business and other communi­ ty interest would be held before formal presentation of the proposal to the board in June.

Rick Jones and State Rep. Mike Callton talked to more than 20 area residents who attended the monthly legislative coffee sponsored by the Barry County Area Chamber of Commerce at Bay Pointe Inn on Gun Lake Monday, April 11. The legislators provided some insight into the activity and issues in Lansing. The two made it clear that they haven't been on spring break and instead have been in their offices, attending meetings and working on legislation. Both said they have been able to have some fun in the district, reading to school children during read­ ing month and meeting with constituents. They discussed their con­ cerns with the budget. Callton said he is very con­ cerned with the proposed $470 per-pupil cut in public school aid. “Low-hanging fruit (the easy cuts) have been picked a long time ago,” he said, adding that he is troubled by the possibility of increasing »!• class sizes and other issues. Callton also discussed the need to look at the impact hybrid and electric vehicles could have on gas taxes which support maintenance of roads. He also discussed briefly a more free market model for health care for the state. When Jones spoke, he said he has been in his office and working on budget issues, as well. He said he favors reform in the schools, especially changing the teacher pension system, adding that he does not believe the current system is sustainable. Still, he said he does not want to see dracon­ ian cuts in education. He also talked briefly about changes in the sex offender registry legislation which the governor signed Tuesday, April 12.

The new sex offender legislation is tougher on predators. Jones also said he wants schools to have anti-bullying policies. He told the group that Michigan is one of four states that does not have such a policy. He is also working on policies to protect the rights of biological fathers and list­ ing a dangerous new drug, commonly called “bath salts” on the prohibited list. Jones explained that this new drug is very dangerous, caus­ es extreme hallucinations and may lead to suicides or homicides. Both Callton and Jones are •ft whenever There, you need care.

Jones noted that it would be possible for the state to save up to $15 million, depending on the number of judge reductions. Both legislators said they want to look for cost savings and fix the bureaucracy. Jones ended his presentation saying, “There is a bright future in Michigan.” .

Each class was matched with a soldier from overseas to get to know. The school-wide Adopt-a-Soldier program allowed classes to get in contact with their sol­ dier and collect special items to send to their soldier. Each soldier will receive between two to four boxes of items they requested to make them feel more at home overseas. Many classes emailed back and forth with their soldier and some were even able to Skype.

For those who have some interest in the historic liturgy or in Lutheranism, the once-a-year upcoming opportunity will help under­ stand, “especially if you come from a denomination that does not have the his­ toric liturgy, that is, the ancient orders of worship used by much of the Church for hundreds of years to this day,” he said. Most Christians have some understanding of Good Friday and Easter; Good Friday is the day when Jesus was crucified, and Easter cel­ ebrates the day Jesus rose from the dead. The Easter Triduum is a three-part serv­ ice that extends from Thursday through Saturday. “If you put the pieces together, it is structured to be one long service,” explained Wiese. “On Thursday evening, there is a Maundy Thursday service where we commemorate the Last Supper. The altar is stripped bare as we remember Jesus being taken away by the Roman soldiers. On Good Friday, there is a service at noon (the time of the cruci- fixion) and another in the evening (when we remember His burial).” Some churches also com­ memorate the Lord's time in the tomb on Holy Saturday morning. The final part of the service takes place Saturday evening which leads to the first celebration of the resurrection. The Great Vigil of Easter originally lasted from sundown Saturday until sunrise Easter Sunday, but in most cases today, it is about two to three hours long, with many beau­ tiful and meaningful components. . “I suggest that the curious attend the Easter triduum and then visit their own church for Easter Sunday,” he said. “This will introduce you to what Christians in all times and places have done to welcome the Feast of the Resurrection of our Lord, We would be delighted to share this beautiful and ancient historical celebration with everyone in the commu­ nity.” Good Shepherd Lutheran Church is on West Main next Street to Lee Elementary School. 1 April 11, 2011 RE: BID FOR THE PURCHASE AND INSTALLATION OF A GENERATOR The Barry-Eaton District Health Department is seeking bids for the purchase and/or installation of a generator and transfer switch at the Hastings office.

The weather hasn't really cooperated this spring, at least not yet The early spring bulbs are blooming with the snowdrops already gone and the crocus plants poking up through the dry leaves. Even the daffodils are showing their yellow petals, ;Some gardeners plant a series of bulbs in their formal gardens an(j sorne scatter bulbs under the trees so there are hints of spring even before the grass starts to green. I do some of both, but there are probably more bulbs under the trees than in my gardens. Soon, the daffodils will be done, and I will be marking the places where tulips didn't come up this year. The tulip bulbs probably made for some tasty snacks for small animals this year. Qn my to-do list for fall will be planting tulips, surrounded by daffodil bulbs, which protect the tulips from the hungry animals, I have to admit that 1 was a little disappointed when some of my early snowdrops did get covered by ice and snow. I am not complaining. I did have a good winter. I enjoyed cross-country skiing and hot chocolate. Now I am ready for sunshine, a little rain and warmer temperatures. Easter is late this year, but I have heard young children in the grocery store asking their moms what the Easter Bunny will be bringing. | have to admit that I am hoping for a good dark chocolate bar, an(j doesn't even need to be in a basket, The sweetest sign of spring is the new crop of maple syrup for sale. It is a taste to savor and enjoy and thank the maple trees and their owners for the hard work it takes to create this sweet treat. Soon the young 4-H gardeners will be planning their Expo Center gardens, the cooperative gardeners in Middleville will be working to prepare their garden plots, and the farm markets and greenhouses will open. 1 really enjoy the opportunity to be around young gardeners. They are so innovative, excited and work so hard. It puts my lazy gardening to shame, and I end up doing more weeding and making better gardens because of the influence of the young garden­ ers. For all of you who, like me, are anxious for spring sunshine without the threat of snow showers, I suggest you keep a gar­ dening catalog on your nightstand and be ready to garden. 8196 BROADMOOR AVE.

Both defens­ es did a great job of limiting the number of clear scoring chances. “Their defenders are top level defenders.’ Sanxter said of the Bulldogs, “and you could see it w hen it takes Corrie and Kendra that many touches. That’s what we count just because the more touches it just gives the defense more time to organ­ ize Their defenders w ere so good because Corrie and Kendra are just outstanding onc-v-one players.

There w as no question we got the good bounces, where the last game the bounces went against us. It kind of evens out. We hung in there.* said Sanxter. “I thought our goalkeeper.

Young Trojan doubles teams edged by Kenowa Hills girls by Brett Bremer Sports Editor It might take until Easter for some or Memorial Day for others, but the Trojans will get it at some point. Thomapple Kellogg s varsity girls'tennis team fell 6-2 in a non-con fere nee dual at Kenowa Hills Thursday. The Trojans got their two wins at the lop two singles Hights, with Emmy Beckering scoring a 6-3, 6-4 victory at first singles and Kendall Goosen winning 7-5, 3-6, 6-3 at second singles. Those two juniors hold much of the Trojan team's varsity experience this sea­ son, and most of the rest belongs to the first doubles duo of Casey Warren and Shannon Hamilton which fell 6-2, 7-5 against the Knights. That first doubles defeat was one of four close doubles matches the Trojans dropped at Kenowa Hills. “They really want to learn, M and they will. I ven and Beck ering Goosen arc still learning, but the Trojan coach was ven happy with their efforts. (Beckcring) played a strong hitter. a foreign exchange student from Germany,” Seger said. "I thought she really gave it her best effort. She really got to some shots that I didn't think M she was going to get to. “A lot of hustle and a lol of determination won her that match.” “It was the same thing with Kendal. A lot of hustle and determination. They had a lot H of will to win. The Trojans arc scheduled to head to the Hamilton Invitational today, then open O-K Gold Conference action with a home dual against Grand Rapids Catholic Central Monday and a trip to Wayland Wednesday. The team of Taylor Rabbai and Claudia Dykstra fell 2-6, 6-3, 6-4 at second doubles. Laura McKeown and Carly Noah were downed 7-6(3), 26, 6-2 at third doubles. In the fourth doubles match, the T rojan team of Michaela and Blain Whitney McCullough fell 6-3, 6-3. Trojan head coach Larry Seger said that this was the first action together for all those doubles pairs, and that the group of mostly freshmen and is still learning the game, “We had the shots to win the matches in the doubles,” Seger said. “All four of them.” At some point the shots which the Knights were able to return from the Trojan net players will start hitting angles or the feet of their opponents at the net. We'll learn with time. These are good kids.

This is possible.” All candidates said they are impressed by the com­ munity’s support of the schools. Programs that were mentioned were Jump Rope for Heart and Camp CreateA-Lot at Lee Elementary, the outpouring of support when asked for any program and the number of parent volun­ teers who help in classrooms across the district. Major concerns for all the candidates were !_possible cuts in state funding. All said it was difficult to say what their response would be until they saw final numbers. Among their concerns were large class sizes. “The teacher is the center of the life of a classroom,” said Thomas, adding that he * Mi). m. testa- Mini HASTINGS 4 269-205-4900 i ib tie te fl io nsit 41 DC i bn ’ll nfMffikusapikoi I 'I dill W m it 10051'IfGmH j .W. ftfiRi m n fe 1 Goodrich DUALITY THEATERS $4.50 Downtown Hastings on State St. wwwXQTLconJ BARGAIN TWILIGHT DAILY 4:00-6:00 PM 7.

Bobolts said she wants students to have the tools they need to be prepared for life in the workforce and col­ lege. She would like TK to be on the cutting edge. Berdecia stressed the need to have the financial ability to support great teachers and do what's best for kids. All responded to a ques­ tion about the proposal to move some funding from K12 education to college by saying more information was needed. Berdecia added, “The pri­ mary goal is to have the least impact on students.” Bobolts told the group they have to understand the numbers. “It is not going to be easy,” she said. Thomas added, “In chal­ lenging times, the district is going to have to become more efficient. We will need to work collectively on solu­ tions.” Scholtens said TK has done a wonderful job of maintaining financial stability. “Is it time to use the funds in the rainy day fund? Are we in a rainy day?” he asked. All four were asked how involved board members should be in the day-to-day running of the schools. Berdecia said, “you need to trust the staff and the administration. It is impor­ tant to visit the schools, but rely on information you are given.” Bobolts said. “I am look­ ing forward to spending time in the schools, but as a board member, 1 would have a dif­ ferent role. I would hold the administration accountable.” Thomas said he wants to be in the schools and believes the board HE is respon­ sible for being aware of what is going on behind the scenes. Scholtens compared the role of a board member in the schools to an undercover *“ss and that he would use visits to the school to take the temperature of the district. When asked what they would change about the dis­ trict, Thomas stressed the need to improve the technol­ ogy available to students. * *1 J!*#55 il 14^ 8 Caledonia American Legion #305 Friday, April 29, 2011 • f# •I aQ Iw Sons of the American Legion present: FAMOUS LEGION STEAK FRY i i $Q00 With all the trimmings 5* C0° I I >5?

Bobolts said the focus should be on the curriculum and critical thinking. She would like to have the board ask whether the curriculum is “well rounded.” » erdecia said the district needs to look at each child's needs and learning styles. Scholtens told the group that perhaps the TK district needs to look at how Finland improved its educational sys­ tem. He also thought perhaps TK needed to look “outside the box.” All praised the community M for its support of the schools. The economy has hurt the community, but residents are still there for the schools. r Thomas suggested planning more events like Camp Read-A-Lot where parents can be involved in fun activities with their children at the schools. All promised to keep lines of communication open to the community.

The final question asked of candidates was on privati­ zation of services in the dis­ trict. Following a discussion, all said that they would, at this time, say no to privatization.

During the eight-week pro­ gram, Nyhuis completed a variety of training that included classroom study and practical instruction on naval customs, first aid, firefight­ ing, water safety and sur­ vival, and shipboard and air­ craft safety. An emphasis also was placed on physical fitness. The capstone event of boot camp is “Battle Stations.” This exercise gives recruits the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the fleet.

Members of the team are Alyssa Gerloski, Samantha McKenna, Nicole VanderVennen and Alisha Wolf. The team was taught and coached by Caledonia FFA Advisor Stacy Vandefifer. The food science event is new to Michigan this year, and Caledonia will be the first team from Michigan to compete at the national level. “This CDE provides FFA members the ability to gain awareness of career and pro­ fessional opportunities in the field of food science and technology, marketing and management occupations,” said Melissa Brown, Food Science CDE program man­ ager. Participants take an objec­ tive test, design and formu­ late or reformulate a simulat­ ed food product, practice quality assurance-hazard analysis and critical control­ point principles, conduct a I sensory analysis and apply food safety and sanitation principles. The National FFA Food Science and Technology CDE is sponsored by Kraft Foods as a special project of the National FFA Foundation. The event is one of 23 CDEs held annually at the national FFA convention.

It could be handled easily; we could add a half-time person for McManus.” Englerth, supporting Vandenberg, said Orangeville Township had been able to resolve issues through its ad hoc commit­ tee. “Yankee Springs is going to evolve," said Englerth. “Continue the discussion and consider sharing with the county. I think we need a voice at the county level because of neighboring com­ munities. It deserves more input and discussion.” Planning Commissioner Greg Purcell said he found a number of concerns relevant. On the money side, he said Vandenberg had raised one issue; however, he wondered in view of the shortfall in the county budget, how another person half-time could be hired. “What level of planning and zoning services do you want?” asked Purcell. “Who do you want making these decisions?” . He supported a suggestion made by Rich Beukema, a member of the zoning board of appeals, to survey resi­ dents and ask what they want. He also supported an earlier recommendation from Schwennesen that perhaps some things could be done collaboratively with other communities, a reference to the joint zoning project for waterfront property complet­ ed by Yankee Springs and Orangeville townships in 2010. Treasurer John Jerkatis, citing his 30 years of experi­ ence in township govern­ ment, said, “I do not want to see Yankee Springs [plan­ ning and zoning] go the way our tree trimming has gone.” His remark was a reference to the unhappiness many resi­ dents have expressed over the way trees have been trimmed along roads since the Barry County Road Commission has assumed that responsibil­ ity. No action was taken by the board. The board also heard a report from Stolsonburg, who said the county was fac­ ing a deficit of $1.2 to $1.4 million in the coming fiscal year. He also noted that the reapportionment of county commission districts was being discussed by the reap­ portionment committee; a suggestion has been made to reduce the number of com­ missioners to as few as five and another suggesting an increase to nine members. The committee also could opt to keep the board at its current eight-person mem­ bership. McCrumb asked Stolsonburg if he had any idea where the cuts will be made to achieve a balanced budget. Stolsonburg replied that all services were being looked at for cuts. Robert Lippert reported that four site plan reviews had been approved and that the planning commission had forwarded two ordi­ nances to the board for a first reading: the gravel mining ordinance and the ordinance regarding accessory build­ ings on lots without a princi­ pal residence. Both engen­ dered some discussion. Jerkatis questioned the need for revision of the gravel mining ordinance, saying that, as the ordinance was presented, he did not know what was being changed. The ordinance amending accessory buildings, he said, had too many generalities and was an invitation to law­ suits. Both ordinances will be taken up by the board at a future meeting. Lippert concluded his report saying that an addi­ Letter of Map tional had Amendment been received, bringing the total to 246 of the 475 affected parcels. In terms of formal actions, the board approved the fol­ lowing: • The transfer of a Class C liquor license from O'Neill's to Bruce and Kimberly Campbell doing business as the Sand Bar Pub and Grill. • A resolution to allow issuance of an entertainment permit for the Tichvon Operating Company, doing business as Yankee Springs Golf Course. • Two land splits at 4061 Upton Road. • A driveway permit on Water Lily Lane for a Pennock Hospital facility. • The expenditure of $250 to allow as many as 10 town­ ship employees and election workers to attend a CPR class scheduled for April 25. During the public com­ ment period, Vandenberg criticized Clerk Janice Lippert for what he called “unacceptable behavior,” cit­ ing a brief whispered aside to McCrumb as a “violation of the Open Meetings Act.” Vandenberg said he had con­ sulted Barry County Prosecutor Tom Evans, and the matter would be investi­ gated. Lippert did not attempt to defend herself at the meeting but indicated in a later con­ versation with a reporter that the whisper was an attempt to alert the supervisor that he was in danger of having a wardrobe malfunction if he stood up. Lippert also reminded the audience that the school board election is Tuesday, May 3. Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. The next regular meeting of the Yankee Springs Township Board will be Thursday, May 12, at 7 p.m. at the township hall, 284 N. Briggs Road. A 6’ & 1 4 % & Correction During the summer of 2010, the home at 100 Arlington was foreclosed. The Village of Middleville Downtown Development Authority purchased this comer property for $28,500. Formerly, this building housed three apartments and was in disrepair. Prior to the purchase, several drug-relat­ ed issues allegedly occurred on the premises. In late 2010, the DDA took bids for demo­ lition of the building and site restoration. The recent demo­ lition occurred last week. The Village of Middleville now owns both the southeast and northeast comers of West Main Street at M-37 (Arlington Street) Middleville Planner Geoff Moffat said “No approved plans exist for future improvements to these cor­ ners. Many ideas have been discussed. The intent of the DDA is to involve citizens in the design process, using a competitive charrette tech­ nique, along with public workshops. As the effort progresses later this year and into next, the DDA will issue public information to encour­ age participation.” 'JfF, 'if t- fl 11?* tussB-' as*® d r* feBSli! itWSB tosjiW KlfJJi Tri S' ——■ ■■ <5* A 5" i WQ Call 945-9554 for Sun & News classified ads k -w. ♦ ' A CALEDONIA COMMUNITY SCHOOLS FREE DEVELOPMENTAL INVENTORY (For Children Birth-4 Years Of Age) Mi TKHS names March Students of the Month w Do you have concerns about the development of your child in the area of: speech, lanI guage, hearing, vision, large or small motor skills, socialization, or the growth of your child?

The additional spaces would result in a redistribution of parking spaces near the aca­ demic hall, he said. Residents use those spaces, and the result is a shortage of parking near the facility for non-resident students. Commissioner Kelly Cavanaugh asked about the number of beds in the hall. James Becsey, vice presi­ dent for facilities manage­ ment, explained that each apartment had two beds. The issue was management of long-term and short-term parking. Kelly pointed out that there was no set ratio of parking to students and that Caledonia Township Fire Chief Brian Bennett had ■" p.m. In case of rain, the con­ certs move to the Middleville United Methodist Church. On Friday, July 22, the concert will be held in the Thornapple Kellogg High School Performing Arts Center when the Saeby Garden Big Band is in Middleville from Denmark as part of the Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp international music exchange program. The DDA has decided to invest in bright yellow vests for event volunteers.

The 2011 Farmers Market newspaper was distributed to DDA members. The Farmers Market begins this year at 7 a.m. Friday, May 6. Amy member DDA DeVries reported that this year’s village garage sale days will be Friday, May 20 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday, May 21 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The next DDA meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, May 17 at 7 p.m. plan was to avoid using spaces for snow removal; the bulk of the snow would be moved to the north end of the campus. Morris continued, noting that there was a 30foot space between the build­ ing and the parking lot for snow and also some space between the road and the wetland. The intent, accord­ ing to Becsey, is to dedicate the spaces to residents, "i at present although Davenport has no system of assigned or allotted parking for students. Duane Commissioner Gunnink focused on drainage; he said he wants more. In his view, shoving water onto grass does not work when snow also is being dumped into the same space and blocks the drain. Barr’s response that water runs under snow, the salt is filtered out; the catch basin handles the overflow from other basins, and in the worst case gets into the street. indicated Gunnink he thought the result was likely to be a parking lot resem­ bling an ice rink. “Put a drain closer,” he said. Koopmans entered the saying discussion, that Bennett wants more signs to keep people from parking on the emergency access route. Becsey agreed that the signs could be installed. In a letter to the commission, Bennett wrote that the new layout could result in students park9I J •is ** ' ■ .L?' I —— wv— « — *•— MB ing in the fire lanes. He noted that security must guarantee that there will not be a prob­ lem. Kelly, noting that the south hall was planned for two additional wings, asked where the additions would go since the space would be occupied by parking spaces and the fire lanes would remain. Becsey indicated that the university was aware of the cost implications of possibly tearing up the spaces to make room for the wings. Commissioner Ric Parent moved to approve the amendment subject to reso­ lution of the issues raised in Bennett's letter to the com­ mission. The amendment was approved 6-0. Following the vote, Warner assumed the chair. During the public com­ ment period at the beginning Fred meeting, of the Steketee, a resident of Valhalla Drive, raised a question about a resolution drafted by Township Planner Michael Clark. Steketee questioned the lack of speci­ ficity, saying that the resolu­ tion did not reflect the motion as passed by the commission. He was partic­ ularly concerned about the omission specifically of a noise-absorbing wall and a phrase allowing an engineer to make other recommenda­ tions. Lynee Wells, township planner, noted the discrepan- cy and indicated she would have a corrected version of the resolution available for the April 20 township board meeting. Koopmans agreed with Steketee that specific recom­ mendations had been made and added, “The intent is to get the project completed as originally intended." Warner also pointed out there were two issues: a screening wall and the enclo­ sure of the ductwork that faces the Steketee property. During the commissioner comment period, Warner welcomed Lynee Wells back; she had been on a maternity leave. Parent asked if the Den Hartigh park proposal had been presented to the commission and was told that it has not. His question referred to a letter of proposal received from the Cherry Valley Development Company offering to donate 200 acres of land to the town­ ship for use as a park, subject to certain conditions: the issuance of a 20-year permit­ ted mineral removal permit, maintenance of access to family residences on the property, and a seat on the commission overseeing parks in Caledonia. The next regular meeting of the commission will be Monday, May 2, at 7 p.m. in the township offices, 8196 Broadmoor » Ave. /..R <“1 — •* —• •— — •— «M -a % I I I 4 V I I I 1 r*— we- we * • - -w * .-'i r* i I A I[ & Vi From Our Readers I Local Citizens Speak Out On Issues A School board needs people with experience r To the editor: * ili ‘J! i We are in a time of change in the state of Michigan, one that has been bred from years of fiscal mismanagement and because of this, the state has had to consider many drastic cuts to many of those agen­ cies, departments, organiza­ tions and programs that have otherwise been exempt from cuts in years past.

POLICE BEAT Stolen trailer is traded in as scrap A man called deputies April 12 to report a trailer stolen. The complainant had learned that the missing trailer had ended up at a scrap yard. The man said he wanted the person who had sold the trailer to be held responsible. According to the report, •It the caller’s son and one of his acquaintances had had a disagreement. The acquaintance gave another man $20 to haul the trailer to another house. The man, 22, from Shelbyville, decided to sell the trailer for scrap metal and received $150. The complainant’s son knew the Shelbyville man. Deputies said if they could work the matter out, law enforcement would not have to be involved. Deputies received a call from the caller's son, saying the Shelbyville man would not settle the matter, so they wanted to press charges. The case was turned over to the prosecutor’s office.

Hi Rent is due but truck needs fixing A landlord came to the Sheriff’s Department to make a statement about one of his tenants. According to the complainant, the tenant of his Freeport rental property had agreed to pay half the rent, $242, April 18. When the complainant made contact with the tenant that day and asked for the payment, the 36-year-old Freeport man said the garage door had come down on his truck, causing $400 in damage. The landlord pointed out to the tenant the LP tank to the furnace was empty and he needed to fill the tank, according the rental agreement. Reportedly, the tenant became belligerent and walked away to his truck. In his report, the landlord told the man he must pay his rent or “we will have to take it to another level (eviction).” According to the landlord, the man jumped out of his truck and ran toward the landlord shouting, “Are you threatening me9" then allegedly pushed the landlord. The landlord left the premises and filed a police report. Deputies reported that the landlord wants to settle the matter, but would like an officer with him the next time he visits. The case is closed. Gina finds woman’s purse under bridge Police Service Dog Gina was called in April 14 to help state troopers with recovery of an article belonging to a suspicious subject. A female was found in the area of Irving and West Loop roads near Middleville. She was reportedly highly intoxicated, distraught, and soaking wet from having been in the Thomapple River. Gina was able to locate the subject’s purse, along with a cell phone and tote bag, under the bridge. The woman was transported to Pennock Hospital for treatment. The case is closed.

And that means, flowers, spring veg­ etables and yes. Cooking with KandA. People may think that the dull glow in the sky at dusk is from the sun setting, but there’s a pretty good chance that it’s the result of Kevin and Angie, (Angie Ruger, the A in KandA) experimenting with recipes for their upcom­ ing class titled, "A oy, a Girl and a Grill, Part 2." “Yup, it’s going to be another grilling class, emphasizing recipes that are grilled as well as recipes that go well with grilled foods,” he says. The KandA team has been hard at work trying out vari­ ous recipes for tasting and cooking pleasure. “The problem is that to Angie, grilling means fire and, well, when it comes to fires, she has a bit of a prob­ lem,” Briggs says. “She feels that if a little fire is good, then a lot of fire must be bet­ ter. And that explains the glow in the sky.” Recipes are now finalized and range from "Roasted Peppers" to Grilled Leek Salad" to a secret marinade for "Flank Steak" to "GooeyOoey’s" with a number of other recipes that have to be tasted to be believed. “Last year's grilling class was probably KandA's best cooking class to date. This year, we're trying to top it,” Ruger says. Both cooks encourage local cooks to consider join­ ing them Tuesday, May 10, from 6 until 8 p.m., in the High School foods room where they can judge for themselves. “These classes do fill, so if you're interested in attending you should register early by contacting the Thornapple Kellogg Community Education office at 7953397,” Briggs stresses. As the result of a generous donation from Judy Rowley, attendance is free, but both instructors encourage those participating in the class to donate to the KandA Project, i.e. the purchase of early chapter books for the TK School and Community Library.

She was appointed in the summer of 2010 to fill a vacancy that occurred when a member resigned. She is a certified public accountant, although she currently is not practicing accounting; she has two children in Caledonia schools. The Sun and News asked four questions of the Caledonia school board can­ didates. The questions and the responses from each can­ didate are listed below in alphabetical order. Why are you running for a seat on the school board? What do you feel you can bring to the board that other candidates do not? Banning: I want to become more active in the Caledonia school district and community. J have prior experience serving on com­ mittees and boards •!• for non­ profits like the National Kidney Foundation, the Red and Cross Davenport Alumni Association. I have volunteered in my son’s ter Fa1 1 ed° nia is'1 license, although since rais­ ing children I have not been in the practice of public accounting.

The school board will be faced with many difficult decisions given the Michigan econo­ my. I would like to offer my time, knowledge and energy to assist the school board. Consolidation of govern­ mental units into larger met­ ropolitan governmental units appears to be a goal of Gov. Rick Snyder. What impact, if any, do you see the trend having on Caledonia Community Schools? Banning: With consolida­ tion of governmental units, further funding adjustments may be caused within the Caledonia school district. Patterson: I understand what Gov. Snyder is suggest­ ing as we look to create effi­ ciencies in all segments of governmental units. As a school district, we need to continue to look at ways we can effectively collaborate and partner with surrounding school districts and the Kent Intermediate School District to achieve cost savings. However, I feel that we need to maintain competition within the organizational structure(s) of the school dis­ tricts to drive continued achievement, cost savings •!• classroom at Paris Ridge Elementary and have assist­ ed the PTO with donations. Patterson: Four genera­ tions of my family have lived in Caledonia.

I am running for re-election to the school board to give back a small part of what Caledonia has given to me and my fam­ ily. As a school board mem­ ber, I would rely on my experience in business plan­ ning, budgeting, communi­ cations and problem-solving to make professional policy and personnel decisions.

We have to be careful not to create bloated, large bureaucracies that become difficult to man­ age and lose effectiveness. Timmer: Caledonia cur­ rently participates in some inter-district sharing of serv­ ices. For example, the direc­ tor of special education for Caledonia is also the director of special education for Byron Center. Of concern to me is that a school district the size of Caledonia has its own identity. To consolidate this identity would be to dilute the “Caledonia Brand.” The Caledonia school district has invested in technology; the ratio of computers to students in grades two through is 1 to 1. How do you feel about relying more heavily on online sources? Banning: Online resources are a good tool «• to use for education to teach students how to use comput­ ers to gather information and learn in various ways in their own homes, in addition to while in school. However, I do not believe that technolo­ gy should replace the handson teaching experience that students can obtain in the classroom. .•It I have personally learned over the Internet and in the classroom. Although the Internet is convenient, I found it to be impersonal and at many times more difficult to learn and retain the mate­ rial being taught. Patterson: The 1 -to-1 ratio of Netbook computers to students is the fulfillment of our district’s commitment to our community; it is part of our capital bond issue of 2007. As a district, we cur­ rently have online learning available for our high school students for foreign lan­ guages. We need to continue to seek these opportunities for our students at all levels of our district to drive expanded educational oppor­ tunities for our students. As we seek these opportunities, we must recognize and main­ tain the fidelity of the rela­ tionship our teachers have in their one-on-one relation­ ships with our students, which has provided our district with sustained academic growth and excellence. Timmer: The reality is that today ’s students com­ •It municate using technology in all areas of .their lives. I am very proud of the priority Caledonia schools have placed on technology. The future of on-line learning is real. Our high school has several online offerings, including foreign languages and course recovery. As much as I recognize the need for computer resources in learning, I am hopeful that our district will also remain committed to the teacher/student relationship. Concerns have been expressed that current state curriculum requirements are weighted heavily toward stu­ dents who will go on to high­ er education, while not enough is being done to improve opportunities for students whose vocational goals are different. What role should the district play in providing opportunities for vocational education? L Banning: The Caledonia school district should partner with local business owners within the community or immediate area to offer job­ shadowing and internship opportunities for students [who] are learning a specific trade. This would assist the students to obtain some hands-on experience and make sure they want to move forward with that specific path. These experiences could possibly provide job opportunities for students after they graduate. Patterson: There is a tremendous opportunity for us as a school district to work with the state curricu­ lum requirements and push for defined changes within these requirements to meet the needs of all our students. I believe we have to be sin­ cere about meeting the needs of our children. Over the next four years, working with our administrative team and our teaching staff, I would like to see our district push to expand our curricu­ lum to meet the needs of stu­ dents who are pursuing careers that do not include higher education. Using our passion and energy that is within our district, we could provide defined leadership and change in this area for the county and the state. Timmer: Caledonia schools provide a variety of vocational classes for stu­ dents who are not college­ He bound. Some examples are woodworking and Dave Ramsey's personal finance class. Several students cur­ rently attend daily classes at the Kent Career Technical Center, taking courses such as cosmetology and auto mechanics. The real chal­ lenge will come in the next few years as the federal edu­ cational requirements ramp up to include four years of a foreign language and an increase in math credit requirements for all students, college-bound or not. 4’1. $ r i 1 t Mi > r [0 nS !fl« •T- 7** I ri p I h I 4 S IWv▼ * I I IP Ifl I ft I' i rI ■ Caledonia and Middleville share alumni basketball profits JI I- ■ s Members of the Caledonia and Middleville Rotary clubs April 19 learned that they would share the $3,000 in profits raised at the 2011 Alumni Basketball game, This year the event was organized by Shelley Rabbai and the Caledonia Club.

In the fall of 2010, an ad hoc high-speed Internet task force was formed under the direction Lynette of Wingeier, Irving Township treasurer, to research the problem of households in the northern townships of Barry County that do not have access high-speed to Internet. Several volunteers stepped forward to see what could be done, including Irving Township residents Jim Bender, Darla Burghdoff, Charlie Jenkins, Patricia Johns, Peter Knight, Chet Teater, Becky Whitemore and Pat Zatzke; Thomapple Township Planning and Zoning Commission mem­ bers Jerry Toshalis and Sandy Rairigh; Barry County Information Technology employee Aaron Staines with computer expert Dan Hancock; and Yankee Springs Township Planning and Zoning member Sandy Marcukaitis. The committee's first meeting involved reviewing a document provided by the Michigan Department of Information Technology and written by the Michigan Townships Association enti­ tled “Action Plan for Deploying Broadband Internet to Michigan Local Governments.” Task force members real­ ized that if they wanted to ask Internet service providers to serve to this area, they needed a way of showing a viable market so the providers would be will­ ing to make an investment in local communities. With the financial assis­ tance of the Barry County Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development Alliance, a survey was draft­ ed and sent to residents of Irving, Thomapple, Yankee Springs, Woodland, Hastings Charter and Carlton town­ ships and Maple Grove's Putnam Library residence. Of the 1,228 surveys returned, 1,075 residents indicated that they wanted or needed high-speed Internet; 145 said no or gave no answer; five said maybe or probably and three said they already have the service. Individual statistics by township were: Irving Township — 310 surveys returned; 295 yes; one maybe; eight no; six no PUBLISHER’S NOTICE; All real estate advertising in this news­ paper is subject to the Fair Housing Act and the Michigan Civil Rights Act which collectively make it illegal to advertise "any preference, limitation or discrimi­ nation based on race, color, religion, sex. handicap, familial status, national origin, age or martial status, or an intention, to make any such preference, limitation or discrimination.” Familial status includes children under the age of 18 living with parents or legal custodians, pregnant •I* women and people securing custody of children under 18.

Unsolicited surveys returned included five from Rutland Charter and Barry townships expressing inter­ est. The high-speed Internet task force is requesting Internet service providers to contact Wingeier via email, Lwing@iserv.net, to receive survey results showing areas in northern Barry County where residents responded to the survey that they want high-speed Internet access. Prior to the release of the addresses only, the ISP will be asked to sign a non-dis­ closure agreement, This agreement will outline terms that the exchange of infor­ mation between the parties is not intended to be interpreted that they have formed or will form a partnership, joint ven­ ture or other relationship. The information shared will not be used for direct solici­ tation or marketing puq•II ses. but only for the intention of site studies. In addition, the agreement states that the information may not be reproduced in any form except as required to accom­ plish the task of determining areas wanting high-speed Internet service. 44 The high-speed Internet task force is a group of con­ cerned citizens who have servant hearts and are inves­ tigating how they can attract ISPs to our area,” said Wingeier. “This is not a Barry County or township issue, but a national problem that will not get resolved any time soon. The group is doing what they can in an attempt to get what they feel is necessary for survival in our Internet-dependent soci­ ety.” . Wingeier concluded. “Hopefully, by showing companies that we have a need in northern o arry County for high-speed Internet, the high-speed ISPs will invest in our community.” Hl 0 SIS cm ft i ■w ,K »> aite’te IRVING TOWNSHIP Synopsis Irving Township Regular board meeting April 13, 2011 Regular meeting called to order at 7:00 pm.

The Tri-River Museum Network was founded in 2002 when a group of repre­ sentatives from several local museums met to see what they could do to help each other with promotion of these keepers of local history and artifacts. “We are a support group, but more importantly, we have all become a group of friends who are having fun show you what a fun and learning experience you could have while visiting and exploring the history located within their walls,” she added. “Each will have members on hand to greet you and answer your ques­ tions.” Maps and additional infor­ mation can be obtained at any of the museums taking part in the Spring Into the Past tour or online at www.ioniahistory.org/tririver-group.html. learning from each other the ins and outs of publicizing our wonderful treasures to make the public aware of their accessibility,” said Johnson. The Tri-River name Museum Network was cho­ sen for the group since the various societies were located in the vicinity of the Flat, Grand and Thomapple rivers. Current membership includes 22 different groups, with 21 participating this year. “These museums are ready to welcome you and Financial Focus Furnished by Drew McFadden of Edward Jones and Co. • (616) 891-1173 Do some spring cleaning on your (financial) house It's spring — time to clean out the gutters, tune up the lawnmower and wash down the windows. But as you attend to these types of tasks around your home, why not take the time to do some financial “spring cleaning” as well? consider Specifically, these moves: • “Dust off' your invest­ ment strategy. If there’s an in your home that you haven't looked at for a while, you may need to dust it off in preparation for the new season. And the same principle may apply to your investment strategy — if you haven't examined it for a while, it may be time to clean it up to prepare for a new season in your life. After all, since you initially designed your investment strategy — that is, the total amount you invest, the percentages going into “growth” and “income” vehicles, the dollars going into taxable versus taxdeferred accounts and so on — many things may have changed for you, such as your employment situation, the number of children in household and even your goals, long-term your Consequently, you may need to revise your investment strategy in consultation with your financial advisor. • “De-clutter” your port­ folio. The chances are pretty good that if you look around your house, you'll find many things that are actually dupli­ cates, such as those five cof­ feemakers you've accumu­ lated over the years — so you decide to “purge” a few. And when you take a close look at your portfolio, you might find several invest­ ments that you've added over time and that are similar to each other. If that's the case, you might help yourself by selling the “redundant” investments and using the proceeds to buy different ones that can help you diver­ sify your portfolio. (Keep in mind that while diversifica­ tion can help reduce the effects of volatility on your portfolio, it can't guarantee gains or prevent losses.) yourself• Prepare forstormy weather. During springtime, we often experi­ ence heavy rains, hailstorms, high winds and other types of inclement weather. That’s why we keep our roofs in good shape, keep branches away from our homes and take other steps to protect our houses and property from the ravages of Mother Nature. You and your family could go through some rough weather” too, during the course of your lives, so you’ll want to make sure you have sufficient protection in the form of adequate life and disability insurance. Review your coverage to make sure it’s still adequate for your needs. • Open up the windows of opportunity. After a long winter, you’ll find it pleasant to open the windows of your home and let in the sun and the air. And as an investor, you’ll find “windows of opportunity” through which you can open yourself up to good investment possibili­ ties. For example, even though we've clearly been in a challenging economy the past couple of years, a num­ ber of factors - such as low interest rates, improved cor­ porate earnings and favorable stock valuations (the price you pay for a stock, rel­ ative to its earnings) — have actually meant that it's been a pretty good environment for investors looking for quality stocks, By dong some financial spring cleaning, you may find that you've swept away isome ------ of the obstacles to helping achieve your goals, This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.

What is the most serious issue facing education this year? In the next 10 years? What are your priorities for education in TK? The funding is my primary concern. My priority is ensuring the quality of the programs and to maintain expand and/or what Thomapple Kellogg Schools has to offer. In short, my focus is what is best for kids; to prepare them for adult life and make sure instruction meets the needs of every stu­ dent with the belief that every student is successful. What events after school do you attend? I have attended the Odyssey of the Mind compe­ titions, musicals, student presentations and various sports activities. I am a grad­ uate of Leadership Barry County, I have attended sev­ eral educational classes Michigan the through School Association of Boards, volunteered for Homeless Prevention Awareness, Green Gables Haven, Pennock Hospital, Barry County Chamber of Commerce, the occasional Pay It Forward, and Thomapple Valley Church. I enjoy most of my free time with my kids and new grand­ daughter. How do you think mem­ bers of the board of educa­ tion should handle conflicts of interest, including family members who are teachers or employed by the TK dis­ trict? I have no family member who is employed by the TK School district; there are policies in place that address this concern. My only inter­ est is to serve the interest of the kids. I believe the focus should be kept on the kids. At this time, Thomapple Kellogg has a stable finan­ cial position. Are you concerned that state budget reductions may keep the dis­ trict from maintaining quali­ ty academic programs? It does concern me how­ ever, 1 believe we have strong community support, support by the staff and belief that they will do what it takes to give our children the best education possible. 1 believe we must be fiscally responsible good stewards of our resources. If the board of education had to make cuts because less state funding is avail­ able, where would you start ? Gathering information and options is the start to any fiscally responsible actions, Our goal has to be making wise financial decisions that minimize the impact on the students which means keeping the cuts out of the classroom as much as possible. Thus far we have been able to do just that. However, continued cuts in funding combined with the rising costs of health care and retirement make that increas­ ingly difficult. What innovations in education would you like to see the district research? Do you of education because I care about all children and want to make sure they have the tools they need to succeed in life. Success can mean going on to college or being suc­ cessful going directly into the work force. I believe my education and professional experience has prepared me to play key role in the school board. With 20- plus years of finance and public account­ ing experience, I will be able to help guide the school dis­ trict through these challeng­ ing times. I am a listener, an analyzer, a consensus builder and have the ability to see multiple sides of an issue. Last, I feel it's important for me to give back to a com­ munity that has given me, and my family, so much. What is the most serious issue facing education this year? In the next 10 years? What are your priorities for education in TK? The most serious issue facing education this year as well as the next 10 years is the unstable and unreliable source of school funding. Administrators and teachers spend too much time trying to figure out what their budg­ et will be for the current school year and if it will change before year end. They spend too much time on next year’s budget trying Joyce Bobolts Joyce A.

TK has, and no doubt will, continue to focus on emerg­ ing technologies, opportuni­ ties and instruction in order to find both effective and efficient means of preparing our students for future suc­ cess. What issue in education is important to you, that you would like voters to know about? One issue that has always been important to me is bul­ lying. All students should be given the opportunity to a positive lifelong education and I believe this comes from the home, our schools and the community. What is your vision for Thornapple Kellogg Schools? To continue doing what’s best for kids; continue to improve student achieve­ ment; continue to seek out the positive potential of each student; continue to have high expectations of each student, teacher, parent and community member. To be the best! TK (or any other) school dis­ trict. At this time. Thornapple Kellogg has a stable finan­ cial position. Are you con­ cerned that state budget reductions may keep the dis­ trict from maintaining quali­ ty academic programs? The residents of the TK School district should be proud of how fiscally responsible our schools and administration have been. We are fortunate to be in a sition where we are not on the brink of failure. Our future success is dependent on TK Schools continuing to be fiscally responsible. But having said that, the quality of our academic programs cannot and must not be compromised. We must do everything we can to ensure that kids come first, so when they graduate from Thomapple Kellogg they are well educated and prepared for the next stage of their life. Their future (and ours) depends on it. If the board of education had to make cuts because less state funding is available, where would you start? If cuts are necessary, this is where my financial background and personal experiences will come in to play. 1 would first educate myself with the details of the budget — looking at everything. Once knowledgeable, I could make an informed decision as to where potential cuts might be made. But most important is that the cuts have little to no impact on the students of TK. Their success is dependent on our ability to give them the high­ •B i-­ est quality education possi ble. What innovations in edu­ cation would IFyou like to see the TK district research ? Do you think the district should look into a K-14 system, online education or other program? The TK district should be knowledgeable of all current thoughts and trends in education. They should be a part of shaping the future of educa- tion. They should always be looking for innovative and creative ways to help kids learn. It’s important to be on top of these trends and implement the proven ones at TK. By staying on top, students will be better pre­ pared for their future — whether it be going on to college or going into the work force. They will be better prepared for the real world. But this can only happen with a forward-thinking and open-minded school system. What issue in education is important to you, that you would like voters to know about?

What is your vision for Thornapple Kellogg Schools? My vision for Thomapple Kellogg Schools is that it continues to be a communi­ educational ty-embraced system where all students are given the tools they need to succeed. Where students graduate with the skills that will help them be successful in life. Where students are given the resources they need to reach for their dreams, where they are allowed to think outside the box, while at the same time surrounded by caring and engaged administrators and staff. That when a student graduates from TK, they have a thirst for lifelong learning (inside the class­ room and out). Bill Scholtens Bill Scholtens received a bachelor of arts degree from Calvin College.

I will always be grateful tie for the incredibly positive educational experience that this district provided for both of our children. As an “empty-nester entering a new phase ot my life, I feel called to give something back to the community, What is the most serious issue facing education this year? In the next 10 years? What are your priorities for education in TK? The most serious issue facing education both now and, quite frankly, over the next 10 years is meeting the current financial challenges caused by reductions in state funding while maintaining the high quality of education that our community has come to expect. I believe that our district has the resources and is in a better [•It sition than most districts to weath­ er this storm and continue to meet the needs of our chil­ dren. It is absolutely essential . that everyone involved in our educational process (administration, teachers staff and parents) be working together for the same goal: giving our children the best possible education. 1 am committed to maximizing communication and cooperation among all of these groups.

Saturday, April 23. 2011 TK school board candidates, continued from previous page with changes in state fund­ ing. 7 he ultimate measuring stick for every decision must be: How will it affect the classrooms? The classrooms are the from lines of educa­ tion, so we must always be asking questions like: Are our class sizes small enough so that our children can receive proper attention? Is there enough support staff to complement the work of our teachers? Are we providing the resources and technology that our classrooms require? What events after school do you attend? Football games, basketball games, wrestling meets, plays, musicals. Science Olympiads and robotics competitions. How do you think members of the board of educa­ tion should handle conflicts of interest including family members who are teachers or employed by the TK dis­ trict? Knowing what I do about the character of our board members, I believe that we are capable of handling such a situation in a fair manner. However, if a particularly sensitive situation arises, a !4 board member might have to temporarily excuse him/her­ self. At this time, Thomapple Kellogg has a stable finan­ cial position. Are you con­ cerned that the state budget reductions may keep the dis­ trict from maintaining quali­ ty academic programs? Although one has to be concerned about state budget reductions, I believe our dis­ trict’s financial position will allow us to maintain our standards if we use our resources strategically. If the board of education had to make cuts because less state funding is avail­ able, where would you start? Without hands-on board experience, this is very diffi­ cult to answer. As I stated previously, the classroom is the ultimate measuring stick, so I would look to make reductions on the administra­ tive level before making cuts that would directly affect the classroom.

They require individual time with their teacher. It is fundamental that we maintain small class­ room sizes in order to meet this requirement. Technology — technolo­ gy is changing rapidly and children naturally embrace it. Thornapple Kellogg Schools need to have a strong technology curricu­ lum and equipment to help prepare our children for life outside the classroom. What events after school do you attend? I regularly attend school board meetings, football games, basketball games, and numerous after-school programs that my children are involved in, such as Camp-Create-a-Lot. How do *you think members of the board of educa­ tion should handle the con­ flicts of interest, including family members who are teachers or employed by the TK district? One advantage to living in a small community is that we all have a large circle of influence. Our close friends and family members are administrators, teachers and support staff personnel. Having a stake in the health of Thomapple Kellogg Schools makes for passion and drive to have a positive impacton the school system. After all, board of education members are elected officials and need to maintain knowl­ edge of the schools’ day-today activities as well as a long-term vision. I am confi­ dent that the board as a whole, by maintaining a common focus and putting kids first, can resolve any issue fairly and impartially. However, if a specific cir­ cumstance arises where a family member or spouse is involved, that board member should recuse herself or him- self from that situation. At this time. the Thomappte Kellogg district has a stable financial posi­ tion. Are you concerned that the state budget reductions may keep rhe district from maintaining quality' academic programs? I have met with Thpmapple Kellogg's Superintendent Gary Rider and Director of Finance Christine Marcy to under­ stand our Thomapple Kellogg's financial situation. I have analyzed and com­ pared our school finances to other comparable and local school districts and I have reviewed Thornapple Kellogg's financial audits from the past five years. I am confident that Thornapple Kellogg Schools can main­ tain and improve the quality academic program with reduced funding, if we put kids first. If the board of education had to make cuts because less state funding is avail­ able, where would you start? It is important that as a school district, we have transparency in the use of school funds. With a com­ prehensive picture of where the funds are used, we will be able to make better deci­ sions collectively, without degrading the quality of edu­ cation. That might mean consolidation of administra­ tive services or sharing of resources with neighboring districts. I would look to make cuts that have the least impact on students. What innovations in edu­ cation would you like to see the TK district research? Do you think the district should look into a K-14 system, 9^ online education or other program? Technology is changing at such a rapid pace that it is difficult to assume what is best for our children. If we (collectively) focus on what and how our children learn, we can better prepare our­ selves to answer this ques­ tion. What issue in education is important to you that you would like the voters to know about? The biggest issue facing education going forward is how we provide our students with the technological skills that they are going to need to be successful after high school. With limited dollars, it is going to be increasingly important to responsibly use the resources that we have. TK’s students need to be learning in classrooms that have technology available for them to use. They need to be taught by teachers that are competent in the integration of technology in K-12. What is your vision for the Thornapple Kellogg Schools? I see Thomapple Kellogg continuing to provide a high quality education to our stu­ dents. I believe that by creat­ ing and maintaining an envi­ ronment where the board, teachers, community mem­ bers and administration are communicating openly and honestly, TK will benefit by having all parties working toward the same goal of improving the educational experience of our students. I see technology playing a major role in student learn­ ing, and I look to Thomapple Kellogg to be a leader in this area. By continuing to explore non-traditional edu­ cational opportunities such as partnering with colleges, we can attract students to TK. 1 see Thornapple Kellogg continuing to reach out to local businesses and business leaders to be a part of the educational process and promote the sense of community. & /. ♦ KU * 4 * I 7' I - 111 I L* I iii 1 i^m I* XlU lirte v« i ’.'iilkfil Annual handbell choir concert is May 1 total Ml Wj Mi I If I* Gsa ’ [ft w ► Handbell players are ready for the annual handbell choir concert Sunday, May 1 at the Middleville United Methodist Church.

The Fighting Scots outsprinted the Saxons Thursday. Caledonia’s boys improved to 3-0 in the league with a 9542 win over host Hastings (02) inside Baum Stadium at Johnson Field. Caledonia’s girls* also improved to 3-0 in the league on the day with an 86-50 victory over the Saxons (0-1-1). “We just have a group of seniors that are bulldogs, that have worked all year,” said Caledonia boys’ coach Kevin Remenap. “One day after football ended I had three kids in my room ready to start doing workouts so they’re kind of leading the charge for us. Nick Terpstra, Taylor VanderMeulen and Ethan Barnes, and then (Jon) Schaibly was w restling and (Justin) Dixon lifts year round so he's always working anyway.” Dixon edged teammate Alex Schenk for first in the 100-meter dash by one hundredth of a second, 11.14 to 11.15. Dixon would win the 2(X)-meter dash as well, hitting the finish line in 23.08. Schenk led off wins for the Scots in both the 4(X)-meter relay and the 800-meter relay.

An infield single by Kim Burleson to lead off the game was the only hit for the Fighting Scots through the first five innings of their O-K Gold Conference double header in Hastings Thursday. Hastings scored twice in the first and once in the second to build a 3-0 lead in game one. A Saxon error accounted for the only other Scot baserunner, until two more Saxon errors put two on with nobody out to start the top of the sixth. That’s when fresh­ man second baseman Sarah Austin blasted a pitch from Hastings’ pitcher Tara Harding over the left center field fence to tie the game at 3-3. “I’ve seen her hit like that,” said Caledonia head coach Tom Kaechele. “That’s why she’s at varsity. She still needs a little work defensive­ ly, but she swings a tough bat for a little 80-pound girl. I think she’s leading the team right now in RBls.” From that point on the Fighting Scots outscored the Saxons 8-2, scoring a pair of wins in their first league doubleheader of the season. The Scots would rally for four more runs in the top of the seventh to win game one 7-3, then take game two 4-2. Il Our pitchers threw well tonight? said Hastings head coach Doug Griggs. “We just had the one bad inning. We had some misplays in the field that hurt us. In the second game, we just couldn’t get the big hit when we needed it, and (Caledonia) did.” Austin had another big hit in the top of the seventh of -L-. - • - Caledonia freshman second baseman Sarah Austin knocks the ball over the left center field fence for a three-run home run during the top of the sixth inning of game one at Hastings Thursday.

A wild pitch plated a third Scot run in the and then Austin inning scored on a Saxon error. “I was nervous in the first game. We were flat with the bats.

She had, out of the seven runs (in the two games), I think she ]had six RBIs, that was Sarah Austin. My freshmen have stepped up. They don't play like freshmen.” Both the winning pitchers for the Scots were freshmen as well. Whitney Deton earned the win in game one, and Morgan Swift the win in game two. Deton did a great job of mixing up her pitches, striking out 11 while giving up just four hits and two walks. Swift gave up eight hits in game two, but they were all singles. She struck out four. The Scots got a triple and a run from Kim Burleson in game two, and doubles from Swift and Denton. Hastings took a 1-0 lead in the first inning of game two, but the Scots came back with three runs in the third. ■ ■! t U , cS ri«! W1® lift III . - • jjjjiE 1 M I .

After Brian Zatzke, of Middleville business Lumenflow, told members of the council that he supported the agreement of the village with the Economic Development Alliance, Valerie Byrnes, president of the Barry County Chamber of Commerce and EDA, answered questions from the council. The board also approved the donation of six wood duck houses from a class at Thornapple Kellogg Middle School. Some may be used to replace existing wood duck houses that are in disre- pair. Following a discussion, the council approved the naming of the new park “Wildwood Trails Park.” This is the name submitted by 12-year-old Middleville resident Hayley Smith. Council approved naming Shellie McQueen, Amanda Pullen, Cheryl Myers and David Newman to new three-year terms on the Village of Middleville Planning Commission. Shannon Endsley was appointed to another three year term on the Zoning Board of Appeals. During her report, Manager Rebecca Fleury reported that Republic Services will be in charge of the spring clean up Saturday, April 30. It will follow the agreement the village had with Potters.

Fleury reported that the village has received more than 200 surveys which were mailed April 16. Staff will be tabulating the returns in May, and she will report back to council at that time. She told council that prop­ erty the city owns at 800 E. Main St. will soon be labeled “For Sale by Owner.” During the meeting, Nick Wake, an assistant to State Rep.

She commented that the Early Bird at 6:30 pm V GET kl.A I" ■ PERSONAL 1 fa % •J L cheapest way to dispose of trash such as oil cans, paper and tree and root debris is to bum it. Cooks said the buming of trash was a significant problem the last time mining occurred in the township, Also significant is the issue of protecting property owners from damage due to vibrations caused by the mining process, She concluded her remarks, saying, “I like the ordinance as a whole. It is what we tried to get 20 years ago.” Planner Greg Milliken said there were two alternatives for changing the current text: for the commission to make changes, the board would have to refer the ordinance back to the commission; alternatively, the board could make the changes in the text. Frank Fiala, chair of the planning commission, recommended having the board return the ordinance to the commission along with a list of their concerns. Commissioner Michael Cunningham, who has extensive experience with extract­ ing minerals from difficult sites, supported banning blasting. He recommended the use of long-armed excavators to deal with —J :removing layers of clay rather than blasting. The commission declined to prohibit blasting. Paul Heystek, a member of the zoning board of appeals, recommended checking with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to see what their requirements are for blasting. Another issue that provoked discussion was how to protect neighboring properties, especially residences from damage due to vibrations. The substance of the discussion was that somehow vibrations must be kept within the property being mined, Cunningham said the objective was to protect residents, not to protect companies from liability. Milliken recommended against attempting to deal with damage from vibrations, fa trtotn n! J • • • — I BUY 2 CHARMS GET THE BRACELET FOR j HALF OFF!

Heystek said he thought a search of court cases would be useful to find some standards for vibration damages, Purcell and Cunningham supported banning the burning of trash. A related concern with the mining ordinance was timeliness. At a previous meeting of the commission, Robert Lippert, township zoning administrator, said he had received an inquiry from a company about the requirements in the township for sand mining. The fact that •It both the township board and the commission meet only once a month means that if the regular schedule is adhered to, the board could not refer the ordinance back to the commission until May 12; the commission could take it upon May 19. Fiala said he did not think the changes likely to be requested by the board would be sufficiently significant to trigger the requirement for another public hearing at the commission level. Assuming that he is correct, the ordinance would then go back to the board, which could act on it at the earliest at its June meeting. Either way, it is unlikely the ordinance can be in place before July at the earbest. As an alternative, the board could amend the ordinance. The discussion ended with Purcell saying, “It is a choice between thoroughness and timeliness. The The commission commission moved moved into public hearings. The first • < • a 1' A application fee. The new process is purely administrative but requires compliance with the regulations goveming the zoning district. Following the public hearing, the commission approved a motion to recommend approval of the amendment by the township board, A second public hearing was on a rezoning request from Scott Gregory. The property involved is two parcels, one is in foreclosure. His request to split the prop­ erty so that a lakefront parcel is attached to his property had been approved by the zoning board of appeals. Essentially, the request moves his property from single-family residential to lakefront residential and leaves the remaining wetland parcel as single-family residential. The commission approved a motion to recommend approval of the rezoning to the township board. The third public hearing concerned an SEU request from Marvin and Sue Van Kampen, 12697 Valley Drive, to permit building on a lot they own across the street from their property.

A motion to approve the SEU with a modification to a setback not to exceed 20 feet from the rear property line was approved unanimously. In other business. business, Gordon -1 Wells, ZBA liaison to the Community Cm commission, reported the commission had approved a zoning variance for Gregory.

But that wasn't the only event that occurred this tax season. Although you might A not have been aware of it. Tax Freedom Day fell on April 12. Tax Freedom Day, calcu­ lated annually by the Tax Foundation, is the day on Americans which have earned enough money to pay this year's federal, state and local taxes. Of course. Tax Freedom Day is something of a fiction, because most people pay their taxes throughout •a the year, via their paychecks. Furthermore, when you pay taxes, you help fund public education, the police, the fire department, highways, college scholarships and many other important HE elements of society, Nonetheless, you may want to use the concept of Tax Freedom Day to look for ways to reduce the taxes associated with your invest­ ments. Here are a few sugges­ tions: • Fully fund your IRA. For 2011, you generally can con­ tribute up to $5,000 to a tra­ ditional or Roth IRA, or $6,000 if you're 50 or older. When you invest in a tradi­ tional IRA, your contribu­ tions may be tax deductible, depending on your income level, and your earnings can grow on a tax-deferred basis. With a Roth IRA, your con­ tributions are not deductible, but your earnings can grow tax free, provided you've had your account at least five years and you don't start tak­ ing withdrawals until you're 59-1/2. • Increase your 401(k) contributions. When you contribute to a 401(k), you can receive two main types of tax benefits. First, you typically put in pre-tax dol­ lars to your 401(k), so the more you contribute, the lower your taxable income. And second, your earnings GFWC-Gun Lake to host annual scholarship fund-raising dinner can grow on a tax-deferred basis. For 2011, you general­ ly can contribute up to $16,500 to your 401(k), or $22,000 if you're 50 or over. (The same contribution lim­ its apply to 457(b) plans, for state or local government employees, or 403(b) plans, for employees of schools or other tax-exempt organizalions.) So. whenever your salary, goes up, you many want to consider boosting your contributions to your 401 (k) or other employersponsored retirement plan. • Invest in a 529 plan. If you have children or grand­ children whom you'd like to help through college, you may want to invest in a 529 plan. Your earnings grow tax-free, provided they are used for qualified higher education expenses, and your may contributions be deductible from your state taxes, depending on your state of residence and the plan in which you choose to participate. • Be a “buv-and-hold" investor. By holding invest­ ments at least one year before selling them, gains on your investment will gener■!« ally be taxed at a rate of 15 percent. If you sell an appre­ ciated investment you've held less than one year, the tax rate will be the same as your individual tax rate, which could be as high as 35 percent, • Look for dividends. You can potentially increase your cash flow- by purchasing investments that pay divi­ dends. For 2011 and 2012, individual investors also benefit from a maximum tax rate of 15 percent on quali­ fied dividends.

The winners will serve sixyear terms. Residents in both school districts are part of the Kent Intermediate School District and elect members of the GRCC board. Long-time incumbents, Janice Maggini, a charter member of the board •A dating to 1991, and Michael Steams, a former North view school superintendent who was first elected in 1999, declined to seek re-election. Running for the two positions are Grand Rapids residents Bert Bleke, Fred Sebulske and Richard Stewart. Also running for one of the positions is Byron Township resident Frank Murin. He did not submit information to The Sun and News. Bleke, 66, is currently interim director of Heart of West Michigan United Way. He the former superintendent of Lowell and Grand Rapids Public Schools. Murin, 48, owns an auto­ repair shop. He lost a 2010 Republican primary bid for State House. Fred Sebulske, 67, is a retired professor and founder of Actors' Theater. Richard Stewart, 68, is a retired professor and the founder of Evangelical Choral Society. All four candidates were sent a survey to help voters in the area select the best two candidates. Surveys were returned by Bleke, Sebulske and Stewart and are printed below. All candidates were asked the same questions. Printed below are the answers they returned Murin did not submit information to The Sun and News. Bert R. Bleke Bleke, former superintendent for Grand Rapids Public Schools, received a bachelor's degree from Valparaiso University in 1967, a master's degree from Michigan State University in 1970, an educational specialist degree from MSU in 1976 and completed his Ph.D. coursework at MSU in 1977. He continued to take classes at MSU through 2000. In 2007, he received an honorary doctor of education from Aquinas College. He lists his occupation as retired but isthe interim director of Heart of West Michigan United Way. Do you have children or grandchildren attending GRCC? No. Explain why you decided to run for a position on the GRCC board. I am running for this board because I believe that I can make a difference, both for the college and the larger West Michigan region. I can think of no other public institution that will play a more critical role in the development of our economic and social future.

To create a grow­ ing marketplace, West Michigan must develop a bet­ ter educated and skilled work­ force. The community college must play a key role in the education and retraining of our workforce. GRCC provides an equal opportunity for a college edu­ cation for all - regardless of finances or race. Our commu­ nity can ill afford to leave any individual behind. I believe the relationship between county-wide K-12 education and GRCC must be further leveraged to fully maximize our communities’ educational and financial resources. While already an excellent school, GRCC must continue to evolve into an even more productive educational sys­ tem that serves our communi­ ty as a gateway to a good job and a better life. What is the most serious issue facing education this year? In the next 10 years? How do you think GRCC can work on these issues? The two most critical issues facing education today are funding and increasing the 9ualdy education. The community college, as well as I all K-12 school districts, must both understand these issues and react to them. These are transformational times. Our schools must rethink how they are structured and how they will change in order to create a sustainable future. Does GRCC have a stable financial position?

The college is facing diffi­ cult and challenging times. If the organization does not take creative steps in the near future, the quality of the school cou]d wey be cha|. lenged. If GRCC had to make cuts because less state funding is available, where would you start? 1 think it premature for me at this time to include where 1 would begin to make cuts if cuts are necessary. 1 simply at »!• this point do not yet fully understand the problem and feel it not wise to comment until I fully understand. What innovations in education would you like to see GRCC research? Do you think the Kent Intermediate districts should work with GRCC on a K-14 system, online education or other program ? The community college, as all educational institutions, must begin to rethink how they will deliver consistent quality instruction at a lower cost. Throughout the country, jnterestjng methods are beginning to emerge that can accomplish this, including the use of technology. I do believe that the community college and the area K-12 districts must work more closely together for two basic reasons: to find more and better ways to provide better learning experiences for our youth and to decrease the cost of education. What issue in education would you like voters to know about? For years, my most critical issue in education has been to assure that all children receive quality teaching in all classrooms. What is your vision for Grand Rapids Community College? My vision would be to cre­ ate open access for all stu­ dents, create a culture where all can be successful and have a school with quality teaching in all classrooms.

GRCC is constantly eval­ uating the effectiveness of what it is doing. It also has alliances with countless area businesses, industries and other educational entities to make sure that we are as responsive as we can be to US their needs. I know that both GRPS and KISD work closely with GRCC in many areas to make linkages that allow learners to pass easily from one level to the next. We also have agreements throughout the state with four-year col­ leges and universities to allow for smooth transitions there, as well. GRCC has always been a leader in online education, and media technologies are a major part of the college's educational effort. As new industries enter Kent County, GRCC will continue to play a vital role in helping their development and insuring them a highly educated workforce. What issue in education would *vou like voters to know about? everything Besides already mentioned, 1 also want to see the college con­ tinue to be a place accessible to all the citizens of Kent County. Every year, this area attracts a more diverse popu­ lation, bringing new visions of the future and new skill sets to revitalize the communities that are already here. We need to keep working to insure that we become more inclusive, more welcoming, more vital in order to attract those young people who are looking for exciting cities in which to raise their families and find challenging and meaningful work. At the heart of that desire to be a “destination city” and a “county in which to start a life” is — and should always continue to be — a college at its center that provides excel­ lent educational opportunities to all of its citizens for their entire lives. GRCC is one of the oldest community colleges in the tional institutions nationwide are doing. GRCC likewise must re-evaluate all aspects of its operation — tuition, financial aid, all academic and vocational programs, personnel compensation to name some — to prioritize what is essential, what is good but perhaps not essen­ tial, and what is tangential. Does GRCC have a stable financial position? Are you concerned that the state budget reductions may keep GRCC from maintaining quality academic programs? As just stated. GRCC faces a looming financial crunch which can be solved only by scaling back the size of its operation. Even GRCC President Steven Ender has stated publicly that the col­ lege's current situation is unsustainable. If indeed less dollars automatically equates with maintainin;•a quality programs, then maintaining quality programs are in jeopardy. However, I am not convinced that money and quality education are necessarily joined at the hip. Most peo­ ple do not realize that since 1978 college costs have risen over IO-fold, about three times the rate of inflation. Can the case be made that quality has educational increased 10-fold or even three-fold since 1978? If GRCC had to make cuts because less state funding is available, where would you start? If GRCC needs to make cuts, it should begin in activ­ ities tangential to skills and knowledge-based education. !4 To my mind, nothing fits this description better than the one-sided social and political enterprises that dissipate precious resources collected from the public ostensibly for education. What innovations in edu­ cation would you like to see GRCC research? Do you think the Kent Intermediate districts should work with GRCC on a K-14 system, online education or other program? Frankly, I need much more time to research and think about the possibility of a KISD K-14 system. Although on one level, I might see some I•It ssible advantages, I see some f•It ssible risks, both structurally and educationally. Please rently; expect to have two grandsons !4 there in the future. Explain why you decided to run for a position on the GRCC board. I am runningi. for a number of reasons. First, I am con­ cerned about the continuation of an outstanding school. GRCC has made an enormous contribution to the economic and educational landscape of our area, one that must continue despite the daunting financial chal­ lenges facing it and virtually all public education. Second, I am very well qualified for the job and will bring diversity to the board. As a veteran of both colle­ giate teaching and middle­ level administration, 1 under­ stand the workings and demands of both functions. GRCC is an institution of yet. education; higher remarkably, it has no one on the board who has had a career in higher education. Also, I would be the only one with a career in private education, where budget shortfalls are solved by private-sector methods of prod­ uct evaluation, prioritization, cost analysis, etc • 1 rather than by askin; for a tax increase. The diversity of “private" and “higher" is sorely needed on a board largely dominated by public­ sector union employees. Third, I am deeply concerned that some public funds ostensibly collected from taxpayers for education are being diverted for pushing politically driven issues !4 social engineering, and social Vigorous debate should be a part of an academic community, but debate cannot occur without equal representation of both sides of issues. A publicly funded institution does not have the prerogative to emphasize only one extreme side of cultural pr political opinion. It must give equal opportunity for expression of opinion to both sides; otherwise, the school is engaged merely in indoc­ trination rather than educa­ tion. 1 wish to help restore true academic freedom to GRCC.

What is your vision for Grand Rapids Community College? For the 34 years, I worked there, GRCC was a place where students could contin­ ue their education, in a train­ ing program that led to a good job, in the first two years of college that led to a transfer institution and a bac­ calaureate and, in some cases, graduate or profes­ sional degree, or in any num­ ber of classes, experiences, lectures, cultural events that became part of the community's lifelong learning, As we move into the first decades of the 21st century, experts tell us that a high school diploma is no longer enough, that everyone now needs some post-secondary •It school education to succeed. GRCC has always provided that education, that training and now finds itself even more crucial to the survival of the region and to the sur­ vival and growth of the citi­ zens who live here. GRCC was, and will continue to be, the “community's college" into the future. Everyone has a stake in the college, every­ one has made an investment in the college.

What issue in education would vou like voters to know about? Voters need to realize that the outcome of board elec­ tions, such as this one for GRCC and those for local school systems, as well, are of enormous importance. GRCC has a budget of over S100 million and a yearly student enrollment of over 30,000. Clearly, the college has an enormous impact on the economic, cultural and moral landscapes of our area. What will the quality, tone and direction of that impact be? That will be determined by the voters, the people w ho actually own the school. It is they who will determine at the ballot box who w ill gov­ ern GRCC. They need to realize that as goes the board, so goes the college. What is your vision for Grand Rapids Community College? My vision is that GRCC remain an open-access insti­ tution that provides skill and knowledge-based education that will equip learners to become responsible, produc­ tive citizens who contribute to the good of society. It can continue as such if it very its specifically focuses resources on the requisite sets of know ledge, linguistic skills, computational skills and thinking skills requisite for success in any productive career, ranging, for example, from automotive mainte­ nance to collegiate teaching. <- WANTED SPORTS REPORTER The Lowell Ledger has an immediate open­ ing for a sports reporter/photographer w ho will also cover local events during off-season.

"He quickly became the rOck of our bass section ... He works extremely hard to leam the more challenging music and takes great pride in being able to perform his parts well,” Urban said, As with most students, Dustin not only participates in band, but also in track and baseball. He has just started mentoring a sixth grader. Of participating in band, Dustin said, "it gives me a sense of commitment, and the people you meet can make an impact on you to be a better person." He also noted he comes from a very musical family, including a grandmother who played clarinet, a mom who played tuba and a father who played trumpet. Dustin will be using his scholarship to pay for private lessons at Western Michigan University. A freshman from Wayland Union High School, BreeAnna Hodel, daughter of Robin and Kevin Hodel, was nominated by Orchestra Director Karen Nofsinger. "BreeAnna is currently a freshman cellist in the orchestra, and her hard work and determination have earned her the privilege of sitting in the first chair of her section," Nofsinger said. With this scholarship, BreeAnna will be attending Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp, and, as noted by Nofsinger, "her section and the whole orchestra will benefit from her time spent at music camp". While BreeAnna is a very talented musician, she also participates in swimming, tennis, Student Council and Builders Club. When asked how she can handle all of that with what little time a student actually has, she said, "I just make it happen." "These young people truly epitomize the ideals of the Gun Lake Women's Club in their activities and talents and actions,” said GFWCScholarship Lake Gun Tammy Chairperson Johnson. “We are so very proud to have them as repre­ sentatives of GFWC-Gun Lake." Scholarship recipients will receive their awards at the annual GFWC-Gun Lake Scholarship Dinner at Bowens’ Mills Thursday, May 12. Nominations for the schol­ arships are sought from the four school districts GFWCGun Lake serves, including Thornapple Kellogg, Delton Kellogg, Wayland Union and Martin school districts. “Recipients of GFWC Arts Scholarships are under­ classmen who will bring back new and exciting infor­ mation to share with their fellow classmen,” she said. Anyone who would like to help the GFWC-Gun Lake area women's club continue to give scholarships can pur­ chase $25 tickets to the din­ ner by May 5 at the Water’s Edge on Patterson Road.

Aimee Ellinger, Brian Wilder, Dustin Leininger and BreeAnna Hodel will each receive a $500 scholarship for use in furthering their artistic endeavors. Aimee Ellinger, daughter of Tom and Deb Ellinger, is a junior at Thornapple Kellogg High School. consistently "Aimee leadership, demonstrates responsibility and maturity beyond her years,” said Barbara Maring, art instruc­ tor and nominating teacher. Aimee not only maintains her school work, but also participates in 4-H and Barry County Youth Advisory Council, is a member of the track and swim teams, and is a very avid artist in the area of fiber arts. When asked how she found her interest in fiber arts, she said, "I stayed with a family in Minnesota on a 4H trip a few years ago, and the family showed llama's . and used their hair to create fiber art pieces." Aimee has shown her work at the Kalamazoo and Barry county fairs and won a Most Original Craft Award. She is planning to use her scholarship this summer to further her interest in fiber art. Brian Wilder, son of Lois Wilder, is a junior at Delton Kellogg High School. He will be using his scholarship to attend Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp this summer. Brian, as described by nominating teacher and Band Director Sara Knight, "has been a vital member of our trumpet sections throughout his years in Delton. He is very dependable and dedicat­ ed, and he has also volun­ teered his time to help mid­ dle school trumpet players." During the "off seasons," Brian participates with the Hastings Jazz Band and Hastings City Band. To Brian, the band has been "like a second family. It made an easier transition into high school". Tian would like to con­ tinue his music playing in the future, but feels he is headed for a career in computer engineering. Dustin Leininger, son of Lisa Leininger-Richie and Perry Richie, is a freshman at Martin High School. While Dustin started his musical career as a singer and wanted to join the choir, his school no longer offered the option, so he joined the band as a 269 79S 7936• middlevillepharmacy.com YANKEE CANDLE For AH Your Pharmacy Needs beWell wdl �* * Page 12/The Sun and News, Saturday, April 30, 2011 ‘Special interests’ are indeed special From Our Readers To the editor: I have recently read some comments about school •It board candidates that I feel were misleading and inaccurate. 1 was dismayed to read that teachers, parents, support staff and students were considered to be “special interests."

'I i! Ill hr 111 Choose candidates who will continue fine education To the editor: As a parent of two graduates of the Thornapple Kellogg school system, I'm proud of the education that my children have received at TK schools. In order to continue the fine education that is offered at TK schools, we need to have a school board that will support our children. I firmly believe that Bill Scholtens will be an asset to the board. In these difficult financial times, we need a candidate like Scholtens that will be willing to make the hard decisions that will need to be made. He will always look to the needs of all the students of TK first and foremost. Elect Bill Scholtens to the TK school board this Tuesday, Susan Lenartz, Middleville Thomas has done his homework To the editor: Several weeks ago, I was informed by my neighbor, Josh Thomas, that he was running for school board at Thomapple Kellogg. My initial reaction was, “Don't you have a conflict of interest, with your wife being a teacher in the district?” The conversation that ensued was completely enlightening. Josh's answer was very good, but I wasn't done grilling him yet. I asked him if he was capable of making decisions that would best benefit the district, even if it compromised potential monetary benefits for his wife as a teacher. The response 1 received was an unequivocal “yes. Knowing his morals and integrity, I believed him. We talked for over an hour. I had a blast playing the devil's advocate. When all was said and done, I was sold. I have always respected my neighbor as a good husband, father and member of the community. Over the past several weeks, I have p rilled him over and over again, and he has done his homework. He would fire back at me with budget statistics and a sum­ mary of TK's financial histo­ ry. He has met with Superintendent Gary Rider & Call today for a free design for the front or the back of your home! time and energy to be informed before passing judgment. I do not believe anyone has all the answers to the big questions facing our school district. During our time of uncertainty surrounding school funding, it will take a group of people with a willingness to research and make tough decisions. Joshua Thomas is one of those people, Please join me in voting for him May 3. li — * V I • gather all the information he can in order to make informed decisions, if the people of our community choose to elect him. Gathering this information has given him the opportunity to speak with administrators, teachers, parents and support staff. His approach has been to withhold judgment until he has all the facts. I believe this is the correct approach, rather than writing letters to the editor based on hearsay and conjecture. I urge everyone to take the I and Director of Finance Christine Marcy. He has attended board of education meetings and sat in on the board finance committee and construction committee meetings. I can say with complete confidence that Josh Thomas has done his homework. One thing you have to understand about this writer is that I don’t always agree with my husband. I appreciate his opinions and respect them, but I don’t own them, Fortunately, God gave me my own mind and it would be tragic for me not use it. Interestingly, 1 think Josh Thomas is capable of making decisions without his wife's approval, as well. I personally want to elect someone that is open to trans­ parency. I want someone who is “in touch" with the day-today issues that occur in the district. I want someone who can work cooperatively with the teachers, support staff and school administration. 1 want someone I can quickly communicate with if 1 choose to do so. I want someone that will respond to email, be available by phone and that can listen to my voice. That person is Josh Thomas for me.

She thinks every­ one should be allowed to bring their pets to work with them, which is ludicrous. If someone patronizes a retail store or office and they don't care to be approached by a “cold wet nose,” as she put it, they can shop some­ where else. This is far from true in our township offices. There is no other place you can go to transact township business, which many times requires an “in-person” visit. When 1 was there, and by the way 1 was the only non­ employee there, 1 asked “what's going on with the dog in here?” when the “cold wet nose” came up to me. My question was obviously and intentionally ignored by the clerk. The little simple courtesy of a response would have been appreciated and appro­ priate on her part. 1 still believe employee's pets do not belong in our Caledonia Township offices.

As the 82 Green School Awards were presented, the Caledonia Fine Arts Center was filled with applause. This was the fourth annual Green Schools Awards cere­ mony which recognizes the environmental w'ork of edu­ cators and students. Schools earn three types of awards: Green School Certificates, Chairman's Awards and the David D. Smith Memorial Award. Green School certificates are given at multiple levels, and were awarded to 45 schools for completing 10 to 14 activities. Twenty-five schools received the Emerald level certificate for 15 to 19 activities, and six schools received Evergreen certifi­ cates for 20 or more activi­ ties. Five districts received the Kent County Board of Commissioners Chairman’s Award for district-level ener­ gy projects, up from two dis­ tricts last year. This year's winners were Caledonia. Thornapple Kellogg, Cedar Springs, Lowell and Rockford school districts. Caledonia Community Schools also received the David D. Smith Memorial Award which recognizes a school district for major efforts in green projects. Caledonia won for its overall culture of environmental awareness as well as for the completion of the new LEED-eligible school, Paris Ridge Elementary. The school uses geothermal heat­ ing and cooling, enhanced day lighting, energy-efficient lighting, a wind turbine, green cleaning, and 75 per­ cent of the construction waste was recycled. “Districts are working hard to save energy and taxpayer dollars and have long taught environmental awareness in their classrooms. This new program helps us recognize their efforts,” said Kent ISD Superintendent Kevin A. Konarska. Some of the environmental activities Kent ISD schools are doing to earn their certifi­ cates include holding a recy­ cled fashion show for the community and tending a school garden that grows veg­ etables for the lunch room. Featured speaker at the event was Dan O'Keefe from Michigan Sea Grant. He works with communities and businesses located on the Lake Michigan coastline, using science and research to address commercial and sport fishing, boating and related HE environmental issues. O'Keefe is helping to conserve the lake sturgeon, one of the oldest fish in the Great Lakes region, and the focus of his presentation to the stu- 1 dents, It This program helps recognize and encourage the environmental efforts of our II. schools, and I am happy to partner with Kent ISD in pre­ senting these awards." said Kent County Commissioner Shana Shroll. “The students and educators earning them are great examples of theenergy schools are bringing to critical environmental issues."

Phillips said that the school aid fund would actu­ ally provide for an increase in the basic grant without the proposed diversion to com­ munity colleges and higher education. Caledonia would receive an increase rather than having to digest a cut of $470 over the past year and in the coming year, he said. The second approved res­ olution dealt with some of the measures needed to make up what could be a $2.8 million gap between revenues and expenditures. The reso­ lution calls for laying off 11 teachers and four support staff. Central office staff will be reduced by combining two central office secretarial positions into one for the 2011-12 school year.

Anthony Amine, repre­ senting AT&T Mobility, said the company wanted to place antennas. three antennas, coaxial cables, three signal-boosting devices and equipment cabinets on each site. Two of the sites, 9475 Sanborn Ave. and 8337 Prairie View Lane, are privately owned; the third site is the township water tower at 5770 76th St. The equipment cabinets will be mounted on non-pen­ etrating steel platforms at the first two sites and the height of the towers will not be increased. according to Amine. Both towers are monopole construction. No additional is lighting planned. Commissioner Rick Parent opened the discus­ sion, noting there continued to be landscaping issues with the Prairie View Lane site. Amine replied that the site is owned by Verizon, which is responsible for landscaping and maintenance. Commissioner -----------------Don Koopmans noted that the <1/4/4 11 f/vn O 1 nri ■ ii additional equipment on the 76th Street site would pro­ vide additional revenue to the township. Commissioner Kelly Cavanaugh moved to approve the special use per­ mits; the motion was approved unanimously. The commission has been working for the past several months on revising the township sign ordinance to account for digital signs and billboards. A major issue is h°w 1° a"ow f°r lhe tnainte- nance of billboards without extending their useful life. Koopmans asked. "How do you ever sunset them? I'm talking about useful life.” He wants a very careful approach to defining general maintenance. Township Planner Lynee Wells will research the issue. Parent noted that artwork included in a sign becomes advertising when trade­ marks, logos, or other identi­ fiers such as a picture of an item are included in a sign. The objective .according to him, is to prevent the extent of signage beyond what is permitted in the ordinance. Commissioner T im Morris recommended striking refer­ ence to art. Commissioner Duane Gunnink pointed out that art becomes advertising when a message is conveyed. Archie Warner, chairman of the commission, com­ mended his colleagues for their work and said that tweaking the ordinance was a good exercise. He recom­ mended tabling the ordi­ nance so that planner Wells and legal counsel can review the document. Although normally the commission would meet May 16, that meeting has been canceled due to a lack of agenda items. At this point the next regularly scheduled meeting of the commission will be at 7 p m. Monday, June 6 in the township offices at 8196 Broadmoor Ave. raft! w TO & ■me* * bingo * ’OStJOS < * .

Of course, it’s important for everyone to build adequate financial resources for retire­ ment — but the challenge is even greater for women. Largely due to family women responsibilities, spend, on average, 12 years less in the workforce than men, according to the Women’s Institute for a Secure Retirement. Less time in the workforce equates to lost earnings, missed promo­ tions, smaller and fewer rais­ es and reduced retirement plan benefits. In fact, men have, on average, about Individual in $91,000 Accounts Retirement (IRAs), including all IRA types and the amounts rolled over from other retirement accounts into IRAs, com­ pared to just $51,000 for women, according to a recent the issued by report Employee Benefit Research Institute. Whether you're married, divorced, widowed or single, you’ll want to build financial resources of your own and be prepared to manage your finances during your retire­ ment years. You'll be help­ ing yourself, and, by becom­ ing financially independent, »!• you’ll also avoid the possi ­ bility of depending on your grown children for support. To help ensure a financially secure retirement, consider these ideas: • Fully fund your IRA each year. As the numbers above show, women are way behind men when it comes to funding their IRAs. And IRAs, with their tax advan­ tages, are great retirement­ savings vehicles. A tradition­ al IRA have the potential to grow on a tax-deferred basis, while Roth IRAs have the potential to grow tax-free, •It provided you’ve had your account at least five years and you don't start taking withdrawals until you're 591/2. So make it a priority to “max out” on your IRA each year. In 2011, you can put in up to $5,000 to a traditional or Roth IRA, or $6,000 if you're 50 or older. • Boost your 401 (k) contri- » i B® Fe"it »r VBa railed h Kt I< ill 1 W MiS! ■mtaMflK s' Hi V 1 jei kj ®i;i SHE1! ®isi 06736221 buttons. Put in as much as you can afford to your 401(k) or other employersponsored retirement plan. At the very least, contribute enough to earn your employer’s match, if one is offered. (In 2011, you can put in up to $ 16,500, or $22,000 if you’re 50 or older.) Your earnings have the opportunity to grow tax-deferred and you have a range of investment options, so your 401 (k) or other retirement plan can be an effective, flexible way to put money away for the future. • Invest in an annuity. If you've reached the contribution limits of your IRA and 401(k), you may want to consider purchasing an annuity, which can be structured to provide you with regular payments for the rest of your life. And this lifetime income source is especially impor­ tant to women, who, at age 65, can expect to live, on average, almost 20 more years, compared to slightly over 17 for men of the same age, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As a mother, you willingly spend a great deal of time and effort on your children. But it’s important to also think about yourself and your future, so review your strategy for retirement with ----- financial advisor, and your take the actions needed to help make sure you can enjoy all the Mother’s Days of your life in the comfort you deserve.

Call anytime for Sun & News classified ads Grange Lawmakers are listening and want to hear real voices To the editor: A lot of assumptions are being made about what is going on in Lansing right now and what lawmakers are trying to accomplish as we work on a budget for our state. After a number of months on the job, 1 am starting to think that the only thing as incorrect as dangerous assumptions would be continuing down the road we've been traveling for the past several years. So while we work on turning things around and avoiding a longer journey down Failure Lane, I will tell you exactly what we are trying to accomplish: A balanced budget and a rejuvenated, prosperous Michigan. In order to accomplish that, we have brought everything out into daylight, including the education status quo. People ask why law­ makers are targeting teachers, but actually we're not. Teachers are intertwined with one of the largest line items in our state budget, and to touch the budget, of course, teachers will feel the ripples, we 1One of the complaints , . have heard from teachers is that lawmakers are not hstening, but we are — we are listening to everyone and, unfortunately, the voice that is drowning out our chil1dren -------’s. teachers is that of the Education Michigan Association. If there is a problem with listening in Lansing, it's the problem lawmakers have with a union that is not lis­ tening to and acting on behalf of its members. The MEA is misrepresenting teachers across the state, and the consequences are serious. The reality is that teachers have a union whose leaders sit safely in their offices and collect $200,000-plus salaries while sending their members into the trenches and encouraging them to dis­ regard their careers and even the law. The MEA president is paid $290,000 a year by the MEA, plus tens of thou­ sands more from the positions she holds on company boards, thanks to her MEA affiliation. One issue under considera­ tion by the Legislature is what to do about teachers who engage in illegal strikes. Adding teeth to the teacher strike laws already on our books is not an attack on teachers but a way to protect our students. MEA leadership has encouraged its members to consider illegal action, and in a society that prides itself on living under the law, that is unacceptable. What example does it set for our young peo­ ple if their teachers are breaking the law at the urging of union leadership? It’s certain­ ly not an example of account­ ability and responsibility. Creating a stable and sus­ tainable budget is to every­ one’s benefit. When we know how much money we have available and how schools are spending it, we can preserve teaching jobs f # * I r I i * I !!• MOST INSURANCE ACCEPTED ,06736026 Insurance? •». > As a local independent agent, we can design an insurance program that’s just right for you and your family.

My colleagues, many of whom have education careers under their belts, and I support the excellent work our teachers are doing. We invite them to discuss with us their concerns and ideas. 1 also welcome con­ versation with union repre­ sentatives. I hope that teach­ ers who are bothered because of the assumptions they have made will be even more bothered by the prospect of breaking the law and will take time to contact us and listen to the responses they get. 1 think it's important to understand that while an individual may not like the outcome or the way something is going, that does not mean elected lawmakers are not listening. It is our job to listen, and listening to residents' concerns and ideas is our priority at all times. With so many voices out there, I encourage people to keep talking with us so the infor­ mation we get isn’t from outof-touch union leadership, but from real people who are affected by what goes on in Lansing and who affect what goes on in our classrooms. * & EVENING & FRIDAY APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE!

The Fighting Scots mercied the Bengals in all three ball games, winning games one and two 16-1 and 19-1 in Grand Rapids Tuesday. The Scots then topped the Bengals 15-0 in three innings in Caledonia Thursday after­ noon. “It was good,” Fighting Scot head coach Pat Gillies said after his team completed the sweep Thursday. “We’re a young team and we really have a lot to work on just from a fundamental stand point. Getting three wins always helps. You have to do little things to win a baseball game and we did a really good job today of doing the little things.” One of the key little things was baserunning. “Baserunning was huge,” said Gillies. “Being efficient and doing things correctly we spent a lot of time in practice yesterday working on it and the kids really responded nicely.” Gillies in the third base coaching box and assistant coach Matt Armstrong at first were constantly teach­ ing Thursday, instructing players about how to get off to good leads and how to make sure they were hustling back to the bag once the ball was in the Bengal catcher's mit. They had lots of opportu­ nities to teach baserunners, as the Scots pounded out ten hits to go along with nine walks and one hit batsman. Eight of the nine Scots in the line-up had at least one walk. Jordan Swift and Murphy Esterley had two hits each, including one single. Esterley had a double and Swift a triple. Heath Hoogerhyde also had a triple A A—4 // A** . ■! 2 * V.'.

They believe in themselves,” TK head coach Larry Seger said of Noah and Blain. “They hit better angles. They're playing at the net a little bit better.” The Trojan pair had to show some belief in itself to pull out the win in the end. Noah and Blain led the third set 5-1 before the Scots rallied to win the next three games. “We re just way behind, with the weather the way it has been” said Seger, “like a lot of teams.” The Trojans bounced back to earn their first O-K Gold Conference win of the season Wednesday, 8-0 over Ottawa Hills, Beckering won by default, despite falling 7-5 in the first set.

May 13, the Barry County Reapportionment Committee voted unanimously to reduce the number of districts in the county from eight to seven and passed a resolution reset­ ting the boundaries, accord­ ing to population based on the results of the 2010 U.S. Census. While the process of reap­ portionment is required by law to be non-partisan and non-political, the reduction of districts and resetting of boundaries does have politi­ cal consequences for Barry County.

He also is predicting $300,000 in sav­ ings through attrition this year. The district hopes to find another $200,000 in sav­ ings.

Staff Writer Some dream dreams and ask why not, according to the late Robert F. Kennedy. That was the emphasis Saturday morning, May 7 as several hundred people gathered to participate in the dedication ceremonies for the CalPlex athletic facilities at 100th Street. Visitors entering the com­ plex encountered a sea of purple shirts among student athletes of all ages and patiently threaded their way through the crowd of excited youngsters who did not always consider risks to life and limb as they ran across the road leading into the facility. Once inside the complex, drivers were directed to parking and people gathered before the two tents for refreshments and the conces­ sion stand. The crowd quieted and then applauded as the first notes of the bagpipes sound­ ed. The Grand Rapids Pipe Band led the parade of ath­ letes, including virtually all the members of the middle school and, high school lacrosse teams, who were celebrating their recognition 'as the school district's newest club varsity sport. Once the parade was over, Roger Kimes, president of the group, stepped forward to welcome the crowd and to emphasize that the day marked the completion of the first phase of the develop­ ment of the complex. He noted that the fields repre­ sented a much-needed devel­ opment in Caledonia. He said it would not have occurred without the com­ munity leaders and members who stepped forward to make it happen. "The leaders embraced a vision," Kimes said. He added that there were 20 acres donated by the town­ ship that were available for future development. Ron Snoeyink, president, GMB Architects, who designed the complex, said the firm was proud to have the opportunity to finish a dream and to create memo­ ries. He treated the crowd to a brief historical review say­ ing that 40 years ago, he had played baseball on a field 1 HF that was now part of a run­ accomplishment widely, he concluded, " We are the ning track.

Gibson said that while he also felt the reapportionment made sense, he felt it was a shame the reapportionment meant the county would lose at least three experienced commissioners after the next election. The process of setting boundaries for districts is non-political and must meet specific criteria. They must be contiguous, compact and square. Townships are not generally combined with cities. Townships, villages and cities generally are not to be divided. Precincts are divided only to meet popula­ tion standards, and there shall be no partisan political advantage in the redistrict­ ing. Members of the reappor­ tionment committee includ­ ed Barry County Prosecutor Tom Evans, Barry County Treasurer Sue VandeCar, IS >S Si Ki 1 kJ Js SS *7 $$ !%S I it, Hi S' s» a ***i*wi Barry County Democratic Party Chair Martha ReyffBanash, Barry County Republican Party Chair Jake Jelsema and Barry County Clerk Pam Jarvis. Jarvis is the chair of the reapportion­ ment committee. The five committee mem­ bers were asked to bring up to two reapportionment maps each to Friday's meet­ ing. VandeCar submitted one map while each of the other committee members submit­ ted two each for a total of nine maps. Of those nine maps, two proposed five dis­ tricts, four proposed seven districts and three suggested eight. Early in the meeting made Reyff-Banash a motion, seconded by Evans, to establish seven districts in the county. It was approved unanimously, which elimi­ nated all maps proposing eight or five districts. After some discussion about population growth and potential future growth and the variation in proposed boundaries, Evans made a motion nominating his own map which would have reduced the geographic size of District 7 and included and Johnstown Barry, Assyria townships. “I’m going to take the self-serving, or terrible, step • • • of nominating my own,” he said. “I will say this, I like [District] 7. A non-legal con­ cern that was raised at the last meeting was accessibili­ ty to [a] commissioner ... And, the other plans have a very, very large [District] 7; they [proposed reapportionments] all appear to be legal in every fashion and fairly equal, but for that reason, I would nominate my own.” “Okay, but that’s not something we are supposed to take into consideration,” said Jarvis. “Accessibility is not defined; that's not sup­ posed to be a consideration for whether we approve something or not. We are only supposed to base it one the statutes ... This is not supposed to be a political process ... I just want to make that comment.” “They are all legal, in my opinion; it’s not drawn for reasons," partisan reasons,” said Evans. Reyff-Banash noted that District 5 also was very large in terms of square miles. “The ones that have the smallest space have the most population ... if you’re look­ ing at the number of square miles, that's how it works out,” said Jarvis. Evans' motion was not seconded and he withdrew it. The committee then con­ sidered the maps drawn by Jarvis and Jelsema, the only difference between their maps was the boundary between Districts 4 and 5. Jelsema said he felt his proposal equalized the population in those districts better than Jarvis’. His proposed map had population of 8,580 (14.4999 percent) in District 4 and 8,520 ((14.3985 per­ cent) in District 5. Reyff-Banash disagreed, saying she preferred the numbers in Jarvis’ proposal. Jarvis’ proposal had a population of 8,462 (14.638 percent) in District 4 and 8,638 (14.5979 percent) in District 5. Jelsema's proposal was adopted by a 4- 1 vote, with Reyff-Banash casting the dissenting vote. During public comment at the end of the meeting, coun­ ty resident Jack Miner, who previously stated that he supported retaining eight districts said, “I think this committee came up with a good result.” The current districts and representation will remain the same until Jan. 1, 2013. Representation in each of the seven districts will be deter­ mined during the November 2012 election.

L & $ h — • K Operated by the National Honors Society and the National Arts Honors Society, Fine Arts Night at Caledonia High School took in almost $ 1,000 to be donat­ ed to Kid’s Food Basket. The funds were raised through admissions and the sale of homemade soup, making this the most successful Fine Arts Night yet, said a spokesper­ son. Fine Arts Night enabled Caledonia art students to dis­ play their work to the gener­ al public and allowed the public to see much of the cre­ ative artwork produced by students. “It’s great for any artist to get outside feedback and for the school to be connected to the Caledonia community,” said participant Kollen Post. People who attended paid $3 ($2 for students) to see a ■14 huge and diverse collection of the students’ artwork. They also received admis­ sion to a night of perform­ ance art in the school’s audi­ torium, featuring many of CHS’s talented musicians and actors. The audience watched string and vocal quartets, jazz and rock bands, dramat­ ic monologues, and a dance performance to name a few of the night’s acts. Student artwork was dis­ played in a variety of forms, including on a central pro- jecting screen that surrounded several musicians who entertained the patrons while they were perusing art. Art students also dis­ played their work all around the Fine Arts Wing of the school.

The Evil Stepmother and the Fairy Godmother portray two attorneys who clash on live Court TV in a trial that will be remembered forever after. As Little Red Riding Hood, Grandmother, the Three Little Pigs and more all testify, the Wolf and his attorney make a good case. Was he bom a criminal or made one? Does her deserve compassion or condemna­ tion? What will the verdict be? In the end only the jury can — the audience decide if the Wolf is guilty or innocent. The free performance will be in the Thomapple Kellogg High School Fine Arts Center auditorium at 7 p.m. Earlier in the day the cast will perform the play for ele­ mentary school students in the morning and for their fel­ low middle school students later that day.

The current tradition started in 1946 when return­ ing Veterans of World War II gathered on Memorial Day to honor their comrades and all those who had worn the nation’s uniform. The parade has always been sponsored by the *4 American Legion Caledonia Memorial Post 305 which was chartered in 1946, as well. Legion members will once again hold formal military ceremonies at five local cemeteries May 30, culmi­ nating with a parade down Main Street in Caledonia at noon. Ceremonies will be held at local cemeteries as follows: Alaska, 9 a.m., tHain, 9:45 a.m., Dutton, 10:30 a.m.. and Holy Comers, 11:15. The Caledonia American Legion welcomes everyone to any or all of these cere­ monies to honor veterans of all wars and military service. The main focus of the day will be the parade down Main Street in Caledonia which then moves to Lakeside Cemetery for a formal pro­ gram. The parade kicks off at noon, and the formal ceremo­ ny begins as soon as every­ one arrives at the cemetery, usually around 12:30 p.m. State Sen. Mark Jansen will be the guest speaker. The ceremony also will feature a formal flag folding, patriotic music provided by the Caledonia High School Band, bagpipes, a military helicopter fly-over and the Legion color guard and firing squad. All residents, veterans and friends are invited and encouraged to attend. Since the parade is designed solely to honor and remember men and women in uniform, no political, reli­ gious or commercial partici­ pation is allowed in the parade.

The pennies were found in TKHS hallways over the past several years. This donation by KandA will be used to buy early chapter books for the library. “I have a young daughter and believe that teaching kids to read is one of the most important gifts we can give our children,” said Ruger. Briggs said that when they started the KandA Project, the early chapter books por­ tion of the library collection was in bad shape. As a result of community support of the Cooking with KandA classes, Ruger said, “We have been able to make significant improvements to this part of the library.” Anyone who would like to see what a Cooking with KandA class is like may watch a demonstration dur­ ing Green Day, Saturday, May 21 under the Stagecoach Park gazebo every 45 minutes from noon until 2:30 p.m. Briggs and Ruger will be demonstrating Eighth grade students performing from Duncan Lake are (back row, from left) Nick Weiss, Jessica Dion, Alexa Callaway, (middle) Cameron Hutson, Hannah Morris, Ellie Postma, Karli Wormmeester, Taylor Patterson, Stephanie Birkmeier, Hannah Peterson (front) Scottie Hoek, Morgan Black, Maria Chase and Katie Holst.

The Barry County Substance Abuse Task Force is coordinated through Substance Abuse Prevention Services, Barry County Community Mental Health Authority. For a variety of reasons, many people, particularly those in the baby boom gen­ eration, are considering retiring later than they might have originally planned. If you're in this group, you'll want to take full advantage of those extra working years by contributing as much as you can to a retirement plan that can help you build resources, defer taxes and, ultimately, maximize income. And if you own a small business, you've got some attractive plans from which to choose. Let’s look at two of these retirement plans — the “owner-only" 401(k) and the defined benefit plan. If you have no employees other than your spouse or a partner, you can establish an “owner-only” 401(k), also known as an individual 401(k). This plan offers many of the same advan­ tages of a traditional 401 (k): a range of investment options, tax-deductible con­ tributions and the opportuni­ ty for tax-deferred earnings growth. You may even be able to choose a Roth option for your 401(k), which allows you to make after-tax contributions that have the opportunity to grow tax free. Your owner-only 401(k) contributions consist of two parts: salary deferral and profit sharing. In 2011, you can defer up to $16,500 of income, or $22,000 if you're 50 or older. The amount of your profit-sharing contri­ bution is based on your earnings. The sum of your employer contribution and your salary deferral contnbutions can t exceed $49,000 in 2011 (or $54,500 if you're 50 or older). Keep in mind that if your spouse js employed by your business, you each can conmaximum the tribute amount allowed, You've got considerable flexibility in funding your owner-only 401 (k). Both the salary deferral and the prof­ it-sharing contributions are discretionary, so you can Generally speaking, the change them at any time closer you get to retirement, based on your business's the larger your maximum yearly contributions will be. profitability.

Hij II Midi I s 4 �X The Sun and News, Saturday, May 14, 2011/ Page 13 POLICE BEAT Woman thinks she is safe without a name Barry County Deputies were dispatched May 2 to the Middleville skate park on Ellis and Fremont streets where an intoxicated female reportedly was causing problems. The caller said he was at the skate park when a friend pointed out someone going through his 1998 Ford Explorer. When the complainant asked the woman what she was doing, he said he noticed she was very drunk and said she didn’t know where she was. The woman had gone through every­ thing in his vehicle, including the glove compartment. According to the vehicle's owner, he asked the woman to empty her pockets, making sure she had not taken anything from his vehicle. When he told her he would be calling the police to make a report, she became angry and Islammed the vehicle’s door, walking away. Deputies made contact with the 27-year-old female while she was walking east on Main Street. According to the complainant, the woman said she could not tell the deputy what her name was, or she would have to go to jail. She would not show the deputy her identification and told the deputy she was on felony probation. When the deputy tried to handcuff her, the woman became agitated and belligerent. She was handcuffed and placed in the back of the patrol car. She recorded a blood alcohol level of .25 percent. Deputies also found a brass cylinder which, reportedly, Hl. smelled like burnt marijuana. On the way to jail, the subject banged her head numerous times against the glass. The subject also slipped her handcuffs so the deputy stopped the patrol car to re-apply the cuffs. The report has been forwarded to adult probation and the prosecutor's office seeking charges of attempted larceny from a vehicle, probation violation and possession of drug paraphernalia. The case remains open. F Man learns support comes first, then custody wl * IA V. A deputy was dispatched May 6 to a reported verbal dispute over custody of two minor chil•it dren. Upon arrival at the Middleville home, the deputy learned that the 33-year-old father had an ioutstanding Friend of the Court warrant for child neglect/support. The man was placed under arrest without incident.

Galdes said he has com­ plained to the company that sold the meter to the village. Gilbert asked him to draft a letter to the company for his signature. There was also some discussion of the drainage issues at the intersection of Main and Church streets. The storm sewer is under­ sized; significant amounts of water were coming from the building roofs and drives immediately north and east of the former Caledonia Library building.

Travelers don't pay attention to county lines when they are on the road. A regional approach to visitor attraction is the way to go." According to the Michigan Culinary Tourism Alliance, culinary tourism is a growing trend since con­ sumers spend an increasing amount of time and money engaging in authentic and unique food and beverage experiences when they travel. The Internet, coupled with an increase in media coverage for food informa­ tion, have helped consumers pursue this area of interest. Travel Michigan, trade asso­ ciations and a number of state agencies support Michigan as a culinary desti­ nation with its diverse agri­ cultural heritage, entrepre­ neurial spirit, and attractive natural resource base.

As a short term solution, Galdes recommended clean­ ing out the existing pipe and adding gutters and down­ spouts to buildings. Overholt drew several laughs when he said, "I'm 48 years old, and the problem has been around for 48 years. I remember riding my bicycle through the puddle. n Galdes said the village has received three quotes for repairing damage on Main Street between the Chemical Bank Building and the gas station on the comer. The area to be repaired is approx­ imately 100 to 150 feet in length. A low bid of $13,391.25 from Huyser Asphalt was accepted by the council. Erskine raised a question sidewalks about which trustee Todd Grinage has been inspecting. The walks have become uneven due to pressure exerted by tree roots. He noted that several of them require repair now. He wondered if it was possi­ ble to lift the affected section out, remove the root, and patch the site. Galdes said attempts to remove one section usually result in breaking adjoining sections. Another possibility is to grind down the raised section and apply epoxy filler. No action was taken. Scholl reported that one meeting has already been held to discuss the down­ town development authority proposal, and he expected another meeting to be held next month. Treasurer Julie Rines said that a concern is the inclusion of residential properties. Ayers reported that activi­ ty at the community clean-up day had been much slower over two days than expected. She suggested the council might want to consider hav­ ing the event every other year. The new location of the site on the east side of M-37 in the Cherry Meadows development was also cited by some council members as a possible factor because of the difficulty of making a left-hand turn from the site. The next regularly sched­ uled meeting of the village council will be at 7 p.m. Monday, June 13 in the vil­ lage hall.

Fisher noted that Doherty is the first probate court judge in Michigan to preside over all three county courts. “The state is looking at a lot of changes in the judiciary, and one of those changes is to get away from having over 200 chief judges in our 83 counties,” said Fisher, who noted that in smaller counties, such as Barry, it makes no sense to have a chief judge for pro­ bate, district and circuit courts. “The push is on from Lansing1 to consolidate and to cooperate to reduce expenses. So, we are years ahead of that here in Barry County. I know Judge Doherty has a lot of enthusi­ asm and energy, and he has worked well with us the last — seven years, and I know he has the desire to continue what has happened here and take it to new levels.” Doherty thanked Fisher for his years of leadership and stewardship, and man­ agement of the court system. Fisher announced in April that he will be retiring. “We are in great shape, and I couldn't ask for a better situation to step into,” said Doherty. “Certainly I have anxiety about who I will be working with, who my col­ leagues will be as we move forward but... people step up to the job, and I am real hopeful that that is what will happen. “I think this is a tremen­ dous opportunity to further consolidate, to make a true unified court system out of what we have, and I look for­ ward to that challenge, work­ ing with my two new col­ leagues,” he said. Doherty said he would like to see cross-training among staff from the differ­ ent courts to provide more flexibility and increase cost savings. Fisher noted that the Barry o CD G) O) no CD O County Courts have operated at 5 to 15 percent under budget since 1996, and in 2010 they were 15.1 percent ($476,100) under budget, even after absorbing a 2 per­ cent cut that year. He said that in 2010 the court collect­ ed $2,633,000 in revenue with expenditures of $4,262,000 “As you get ready to go through the 2012 budget cycle ... obviously the court operation is a significant por­ tion ... about one-third of the county budget, and I'm sure you are going to be looking at it as an area of opportuni­ ty for next year’s budget; we’re well aware of that,” Fisher said. “I just want to emphasize a couple of points. Court financing is very, very complicated. It’s hard for us even to under­ stand and get a handle on it sometimes; so, I know it’s got to be challenging issue for a lot of you.” Fisher said that approxi­ mately $1.6 million in coun­ ty general fund dollars go to the court budget, but he added that the courts also have a variety of other sources of revenue, such as cooperative reimbursement; the Friend of the Court, the child care fund, and a num­ ber of other grants and sources.

He said that while court programs such as the adult drug court are not actually mandated, cutting funding for such programs could end up costing the county more money in the long run. “If you don’t have an adult drug court, you are likely to have a lot more people in the county jail, which increases expenses, and you could very easily be in a situation where the jail is overcrowd­ ed, and you’re having to release people early and then the clamor starts, ‘Let’s build a new jail.’ It’s a very expensive response to, basi­ cally, a problem of commu­ nity help.” Fisher said the courts want to maintain the cooperative relationship they have had with the county. “A lot of items in the court budget are not predictable, and we can’t control them,” he said. “We can’t control how many felonies the pros­ ecutor decides to issue. We can’t decide how many peo­ ple we'll catch for commit­ ting crimes. We can’t control the fact that we have to appoint attorneys for all these people. If they want jury trials, we have to pro­ vide jury trials for them. If there are children being abused or neglected, we have to act; we have to place them in a safe environment ... there are a lot of things we can’t predict and we can’t control; so, if you look at our performance over the last three or four years, you may say, ‘We can easily cut 15 percent from this budget;’ but, that may or may not be the case; but, you also have to recognize the fact that if you do something like that, you have to give Judge Doherty and the people com­ ing up behind me, some flex­ ibility if they come to you and tell you they have some needs that have to be met.” Fisher noted that there is currently a lot of change in the court with District Court Judge Gary Holman's retire­ ment in February, the retire­ ment of court administrator Kathy Holman this month, and his own retirement June 16. “We have a lot of changes coming up," he said. “Change creates anxiety; it also creates opportunity. So, we’ve taken the opportunity to further streamline the administration of the court... We’re going to have one trial court administrator; now we have Bob Nida in that sition and he'll have a coupie of deputies — for the family division that is Tim McMahon. And, we’ll have a replacement for Kathy Holman who will be the deputy administrator for civil and criminal; we’re not going to fill that position until the new judges are on »!• board. ” Fisher said he is hopeful that the new judges will be named by the end of May.

In addition, we identified several significant adjustments which were approved by management and posted to the county’s accounting records, as described in the schedule of findings and questioned costs in the county’s report on Single Audit Act compli­ ance ... “Over the last few years, the county has made signifi- A & cant efforts toward segregat­ ing incompatible duties and independent performing review and approval of accounting transactions,” he said. “During the year-end audit, we identified certain areas in which the county was still in the process of designing and implementing appropriate internal controls. Management has indicated that this process has now been completed in early 2011. We commend the county for the progress made thus far in safeguarding its assets and encourage period­ ic review of these controls to ensure that they are being properly performed and doc­ umented.” »!• • Approved a policy for use and minimum funding level for the 100 Percent Tax Payment Fund.

It can also save $65 during the Click It or Ticket seat belt mobilization program May 23 to June 6. Law enforcement agencies across the state will take to the streets with big yellow enforcement-zone signs and be on the lookout for unbelt­ ed motorists. More than 200 agencies statewide will take part in the effort, which will also include nighttime patrols. The enforcement mobi­ lization and advertising to support it are paid for with federal traffic safety funds earmarked for this campaign. The Michigan Office of Highway Safety Planning administers the funding for local, county and state police agencies in 35 counties. Grant-funded counties in West Michigan are Allegan, Barry, Berrien, Calhoun, Cass, Ionia, Kalamazoo, Kent, Montcalm, Muskegon, Newaygo, Ottawa and Van Buren. “Federal traffic safety funds make this life-saving effort possible,” OHSP Director Michael L. Prince said. “Enforcement efforts like Click It or Ticket contin­ ue to save lives as well as identify parole violators, stolen vehicles, unlicensed and uninsured drivers and other criminals.” Research shows when seat belts are used properly, the risk of being killed in a crash is reduced by nearly 50 per­ cent. Michigan law requires all drivers, front-seat passengers and passengers 15 and younger in any position to be buckled up. Children must be in a car seat or booster seat until they are 8 years old or four-feet, nine-inches tall.

She held a press conference in the atri­ um of Farmer’s Insurance. The group rode from the 60th Street Park and Ride lot onto the Farmers Insurance Campus. She told the crowd stories of her learning to ride a motorcycle and then learning again after a long time away from motorcycling. Several times during the conference, she stressed that the best way West Michigan motorcyclists can stay safe on the road is to get trained and licensed, wear the proper gear and share the road. "Safety is a rider's number one priority," said Johnson, a longtime motorcycle rider. It Even riders who have years of experience can be sur­ prised at what they'll learn at a motorcycle safety course." Johnson, who obtained her first motorcycle endorse­ ment as a teenager, is believed to be one of the first women in Oakland County and the state to get endorsed. A motorcycle endorsement on a driver’s license is required by law to ride on public roads. Jack Hannigan, executive vice president of Farmers Agent Independent Operations, accepted an award from Johnson recog­ nizing Farmers for its sup­ port of motorcycle safety.

I guess maybe that’s part of being a young team. We just couldn’t finish those two matches, although I thought Goosen looked pretty good in her match at times, We just weren’t quite consistent enough. The same thing applies to third doubles, just not consistent.” Goosen played another strong match Monday, but suffered a 6-2, 6-3 loss at second singles against South Christian. The Sailors topped the Trojan team 8-0 on the day. Seger said that Goosen moved her feet well in the match, and is starting to make a break through on the court.

Hannah Bayshore earned the Trojans' lone victory in a 7-1 league loss against Grand Rapids Catholic Central Tuesday. She took the third singles match 6-1, 7-5. “Her strokes looked very good,” said Seger. “Her serve looks very good.

According to Robert Lippert, zoning administrator, an inquiry about mining in the township had been received, The decision by the board to consider revising the 10-yearold ordinance was spurred by the inquiry and by a rumor that the state was considering leasing some of its land within the township to a mining company, Jcrkatri, reading from a prepared text, said the ordinance did not improve the general health and welfare of the community, interfered with people’s property rights, was too restrictive, discouraged new businesses from coming to the township and was a waste of tax dollars Supervisor Al McCrumb. responding to Jerkatis, said, We are using everybody’s tax dollars to try and update this ordinance. On a roll-call vote, the ordinance passed 4-1, Jerkatis dissenting. The second ordinance to come before the board for a vote dealt with the issue of outbuildings on property zoned residential that does not have a primary residence on the property. The ordinance is a response to concems about structures built for storage purposes where the owner may not be a resident or where the building may be rented out to another person, the effect of the building on neighboring properties, and the compatibility of the building with neighboring properties. Jcrkatis began the board discussion, saying that he ‘deplored the absence of being required to secure special-use exception permits for holding their events and substitutes an administrative procedure without a fee. The organizations are required to observe existing zoning regulations for the location. The new ordinance bars organize* tions in other communities from using the exemption, The ordinance was approved 4-1. Jerkatis dissenting. • A bid of $67,629 from APEX Contracting for the construction of a multi-sport facility at the township park. • The upgrade of seven computers to Windows Seven at a cost of $1,900 and the addition to one computer of an Acrobat writer for $335. • A resolution to participate in an inter-local agreement with the Malch-E-Be-Nash- Dave Middleton, director of Thomapple Township Emergency Services, for radios, Jerkatis said he did not think everybody would remember to take a weather radio out to a boat.

The CBS investigative news program revealed that lender process­ ing firms were hired to sign mortgage, foreclosure and mortgage assignment docu­ ments as if they were bank officials, to streamline the mortgage process and save money. Schuette said in a press release that he is also work­ ing with other state attorneys general around the nation, in a workshop format, to exam­ ine mortgage-lending prac­ tices, including the recently discovered ‘robo-signing' issue.

There is a total of approxi­ mately $1.4 billion dollars in the school aid fund that could be used to help restore some or all of these cuts. To this date, zero dollars have been allocated for this purpose. The monies that are currently proposed to go to K-12 schools are only one-time fixes - they will not help us structurally over time.” Rider concluded, “This is an incredibly complex time in our state’s history. Legislative action is happen­ ing at break-neck speed, so we will have to work hard to keep you informed of the changes that will be happen­ ing.” More information is avail­ able on the school’s website.

The school year is coming to a close, which means that if you have young children, you are now one year closer to college days — and col­ lege bills. At the same time, you are moving nearer to your own retirement. Can you save for college while you put money away for retirement? Yes — but it will take planning, patience and discipline. Your first step is to be aware of the challenges you will face. As you know, the financial crisis of 2008 and early 2009 took a bite out of just about everyone’s retire­ ment portfolio. And even though the markets have bounced back strongly, you might still have some ground to make up in your 401(k), Individual Retirement Account (IRA) or other accounts. At the same time, budgetary pressures may lead to reductions in Pell Grants and other federally backed financial aid to stu­ dents, so you may need to provide more assistance to your children than you once might have thought. To deal with these chal­ lenges and help yourself make progress toward your college/retirement objeclives, consider the following moves: • Establish some priorities. How much should you save and invest for retirement versus college? Also, how much of the college costs would you like to cover: 100%, 50% or perhaps a set dollar amount? There’s no one “right” answer for everyone SINCE PAYING YOURSELF FIRST COULD PAY OFF LATER.

The first was the revised gravel minin ordinance. Trustee Mary Cook said that the planning commission had satisfactorily answered her questions about the ordinance and she, was prepared to support the ordinance as drafted, *With ■ / « A L—. Athe 1— —. — —— — a. ~ P exception of Township Clerk Janice Lippert, who said she had not been a resident of Yankee Springs when the township experienced mining in the 1980s, all of the current board •It members were residents and involved in the community. AccordingSi to Robert Lippert, zoning administrator, an inquiry about mining in the township had been received, HI The decision by the board to consider revising the 10-yearold ordinance was spurred by the inquiry and by a rumor that the state was considering leasing some of its land within the township to a mining company, Jerkatis, reading from a prepared text, said the ordinance did not improve the general health and welfare of the community, interfered with people’s property rights, was too restrictive, discouraged new businesses from coming to the township and » was a waste of tax dollars. Supervisor Al McCrumb, responding to Jerkatis, said, “We are using every!Utltiy’s tax dollars to try and update •It this ordinance.” On a roll-call vote, the ordinance passed 4-1, Jerkatis dissenting. The second ordinance to come before the board for a vote dealt with the issue of outbuildings on property zoned residential that does not have a primary residence on the property. The ordinance is a response to concems about structures built for storage purposes where •It the owner may not be a resident or where the building may be rented out to another person, the effect of the building on neighboring properties, and the compatibility of the building with neighboring •It properties, Jerkatis began the board •It discussion, saying that he “deplored the absence of • _ • « •• w w •«« measuring sticks.” He said he feels the criteria are too subjective and are restrictive of property rights. Cook said she saw the ordinance as a tool for the planning commission to use in evaluating proposals, The measure passed 4-1 on a roll-call vote, Jerkatis dissenting. The third ordinance exempts local nonprofit and charitable organizations from being required to secure special-use exception permits for holding their events and substitutes an administrative procedure without a fee. The organizations are required to observe existing zoning regulations for the location. The new ordinance bars organizations in other communities from using the exemption, The ordinance was approved 4-1, Jerkatis dissenting. Moving on to the supervisor’s report, McCrumb said •It that after a further search of the records, township attorvr «* —— • ~ ~ — ney James White had found that the township did owe the Gun Lake Area Sewer and Water Authority an additional $13,500 for the rental of fire hydrants. Noting that a budget amendment would be required,. Jerkatis moved to amend the budget and to pay the $13,500 to the authority. The motion was approved 5-0. 7In other actions, the board approved the following: • A bid of $67,629 from APEX Contracting for the construction of a multi-sport facility at the township park. • The upgrade of seven computers to Windows Seven at a cost of $1,900 and the addition to one computer of an Acrobat writer for $335. • A resolution to participate in an inter-local agreement with the Match-E-Be-NashShe-Wish Organization and Gun Lake Casino. • Participation in a Barry County Road Commission pilot program for the application of sodium chloride to roads. • “ The payment of $300 to the Barry County Drain Commission for the Cuddy Drain cleaning. Although not acted upon, the board agreed to consider a suggestion from Jerkatis that the township investigate the possibility of warning sirens around Gun Lake. Replying to a recommendation from Dave Middleton, director of Thomapple Township Emergency Services, for radios, Jerkatis said he did not think everybody would remember to take a weather radio out to a I•It•at. Janice Lippert also asked •It the board to consider the purchase of BSA software for accounting and assessing. She noted the system currently iin use is badly outdated. Also on her list of needs is a new telephone system. No action was taken.

There is a total of approxi­ mately $1.4 billion dollars in the school aid fund that could be used to help restore some or all of these cuts. To this date, zero dollars have been allocated for this purpose. The monies that are currently proposed to go to K-12 schools are only one-time fixes - they will not help us structurally over time." Rider concluded, “This is an incredibly complex time in our state’s history. Legislative action is happen­ ing at break-neck speed, so we will have to work hard to keep you informed of the changes that will be happen­ ing." More information is avail­ able on the school’s website.

But the most successful investors keep investing in good times and bad. If you decide to take a “timeout” from investing and head to the sidelines dur­ ing a market slump, you could miss out on the next rally. By following these suggestions, you can keep moving forward toward two special times in your life: w hen your children attain the higher education that can help them succeed in life and when you can enjoy the retirement for which you’ve worked so hard. This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor. * Withdrawals used for expenses other than qualified education expenses may be subject to federal and slate taxes, plus a 10% penalty. There may be state tax incen­ tives available to in state res­ idents who invest in their home state's 529 plan. Student and parental assets and income are considered when applying for financial aid. Generally, a 529 plan is considered an asset of the parent, which may be an advantage over saving in the student's name. Make sure you discuss the potential financial aid impacts with a financial aid professional. Tax issues for 529 plans can be complex. Please consult your tax advisor about your situation.

But once you've set these priorities, you'll have some guiding principles to govern your savings and investment decisions. • Put time on Iyour side. F The earlier you start saving for both your retirement and your children’s college edu­ cation. the better your chances of reaching your goals. • Choose the right invest­ ment vehicles. You may want to work with a financial advisor to choose the appro­ priate mix of investments for your needs. But in general, it's a good idea to contribute as much as you can afford to your 401 (k) or other employ­ retirement er-sponsored account. Your contributions are generally made with pre­ tax dollars, and your earn­ ings can grow tax deferred. And w hether or not you have access to a 401(k) or other employer-sponsored plan, you can probably also con­ tribute to a traditional IRA. which offers tax-deferred earnings, or a Roth IRA, which provides tax-free earnings, provided you've held your account at least five years and you don’t start taking withdrawals until you’ve reached age 59_. To save for college, you may want to explore a 529 plan, which also provides tax-free earnings, provided they are used for qualified higher education expenses.* • Keep investing.

At the same time, you are moving nearer to your own retirement. Can you save for college while you put money away for retirement? Yes — but it w ill take planning, patience and discipline. Your first step is to be aware of the challenges •you will face. As you know, the financial crisis of 2008 and early 2009 took a bite out of just about everyone’s retire­ ment portfolio. And even though the markets have bounced back strongly, you might still have some ground to make up in your 401 (k). Individual Retirement Account (IRA) or other accounts. At the same time, budgetary pressures may lead to reductions in Pell Grants and other federally backed financial aid to stu­ dents, so you may need to provide more assistance to your children than you once might have thought. To deal with these chal­ lenges and help yourself make progress toward your college/retirement objec­ tives, consider the following moves: • Establish some priorities. How much should you save and invest for retirement ver­ sus college? Also, how much of the college costs would you like to cover: 100%, 50% or perhaps a set dollar amount?

Not just the fourth year, but the sixth, seventh, to IOth year.” he said. “I’m here to tell you that it’s lough. You gel through that fourth year, but if we can’t sustain the position, don’t hire somebody, because you end up having to lay them off. No disrespect to the sheriff, but if anybody wants to take over the job of hand­ ing out pink slips, you are more than welcome to have it because it is the worst thing in the world • • • and I think we have a responsible to look at this Can we afford this over the long haul?” “This isn’t for somelOilIJ new, this is for somebody who is laid off or scheduled to be laid off,” said Leaf. While Nevins voted in favor of applying for the grant and then deciding whether to accept it and its terms at a later date, he expressed concern that the grant could not be used to retain a retired or scheduledto-retire officer since union rules forbid an experienced officer to work for entry­ level wages. After further questioning Joyce Snow, who was hired to write grants for the sher­ iff’s department, said that in that situation, the county would be obligated to pay the difference between the entry-level wage and the laid-off officer s salary. Houtman said he was con­ cerned that the grant, like others before, would obligate the county to maintain a cer­ tain level of personnel at the sheriff s department for the duration of the grant. “If this grant has those conditions, in essence ... we would be insulatin •J you from participating in any [staff] reductions, because you would be prohibited from reducing your workforce,” said Houtman, adding that it would not be fair to other departments and employees Leaf said he did not believe such personnel mini­ mums were a condition of the grant. ‘We re looking at effec- F / ’/l lively saying the sheriff — even if the budget is down... and we know it is ... — if you accept that grant and it has those strings, and I understand Dar doesn’t know that right now ... then he’s out of play. And. I’m not saying that I want him to be in play; I don’t want any­ body to be in play, but he can’t be out of play in terms of that budget adjustment because of federal strings, said Houtman. While he voted in favor of allowing Leaf to apply for the grant, Parker agreed with Houtman that before the grant were to be accepted, the county needed to know more details. In other business, the com­ mittee: • Approved a motion rec­ ommending board approval of resolution to honor Barry County Equalization Director Karen Scarbrough on her retirement after 27 years of service. • Approved a motion rec­ ommending the approval of a budget amendment that adjusts general fund revenue to reflect a more accurate estimate of properly taxes and planning services, as well as reduction is revenue from passport fees. The increased estimate for the property tax revenue will allow a reduction in the amount of the transfer need­ ed from the 1 (X) Percent Tax Payment Fund for 2011. The amendment will increase the general fund clerk's expendi­ ture budget by $10,000. • Approved a motion to recommend approving quote of $36,585 from BS&A software vendor to upgrade programs in the equalizations, drain commis­ sion and treasurer's office with funds from the data pro­ cessing fund. • Approved a motion rec­ ommending board the •4 authorize the Hastings City/Barry County Airport to expend up to $ 19,(XX) for the purchase and appraisal of a five-unit box hangar as requested by the airport com­ mission and to include this in the above budget amend­ ment. • Heard a presentation from Ginger Hentz of Michigan State University Extension about the organi­ zation’s services in the coun­ ty and an annual report from Barry Conservation District Director Joanne Barnard. Staff Writer Meeting as a com mitteeof-the-w hole Tuesday. the Barn County Board of Commissioners denied a request from Barn County Sheriff Dar Leaf to apply for grant that would pay entry­ level wages for an officer who would be responsible for the department s school liaison program, neighbor­ hood watch and investigating scams targeting senior citi­ zens. A motion to allow Leaf to apply for the grant was defeated by a 4-3 vote with Commissioner Jeff VanNortwick absent. Commissioners Howard Gibson, Dan Parker and Don Nevins voted in favor of the motion while commissioners Joe Lyons, •en Geiger. Craig Stolsonburg and Robert Houtman Hout man voted against it. The Community Oriented Policing Services, or COPS, grant from the United states Department of Justice would have paid 100 percent of entry-level wages and bene­ fits for a newly hired, fulltime swom officer position or an officer that has been laid off or is scheduled to be laid off, for three years. The grant stipulates that that the county would be responsible for $81,000 the fourth year. “Are we going to commit to $81,000 in the fourth year?” asked Lyons, who then said to Leaf. “Apparently this is a top priority for you.” “One of the top ones, yes, said Leaf. “So. what would you be willing to cut to get this?” asked Lyons. “We’re lookin at all kinds of cuts,” said Leaf. “That’s my problem,” said Lyons. “All the cuts and then we want to tack on $81,000 ,n l^c fourth year in this environment? “It doesn’t have to be $81,00 in the fourth year,” sa’d Leaf. “We could pool some money over here, if we were under budget, or some­ thing like that, we could kind Put that money aside. That was one idea I had for fund­ ing it. The state, U of M, said the economy is coming back around ... the schools maybe ... have more money than they thought ... There’s all kinds of what-ifs.’’ Although Leaf said the county could claim financial hardship and ask for a waiv­ er in four years, committee chairperson Stolsonburg said that with the current finan­ cial situation of the county he was concerned about Maples • Grower Direct • Quality Roots accepting a grant that would — J' 5 obligate the county to spend GREAT TREES & SHRUBS * $81,0(X) to pay the officer’s > GREAT SELECTION wages and benefits in four =3 * GREAT PRICES years. h 75+ VARIETIES “Philosophically, I have a problem with applying for Potted Trees Cash & Carry - Wed. & Sat. grants for new people when 9-12r Spruce Planted with Spade Trucks we’re in the process of look­ ing at budgets and asking you Dig A Tree Transplanting ux — • to reduce your budget,” he o said. “We could be in a worse B 2981 Loop Rd.

Bujak, GE Walter Volunteers environmental coordinator, explained the work being done was funded by a grant from the GE Foundation. Trees had been planted, and some prelimi­ nary work had been done in the fall of 2010, but changing weather forced the group to suspend work on the creation of an outdoor classroom and other activities. Students and adult volun­ teers were divided into 11 teams and assigned to replac­ ing trail bridges, renovating removing boardwalks, downed trees, defining trails, building benches for the out­ door classroom, building a viewing platform for the wetlands area, installing bird houses, distributing 30 yards of wood chips, building a fence to enclose cooling equipment at the lodge, touching up stain and paint on two cabins and removing brush. Downed trees, where usable, were cut up and became material for edging trails. One project limited to adult volunteers only was the barbed wire patrol which worked to remove barbed wire on the north and south sides of the camp and on the edge of the football field. A major project added at the last minute was fencing in of the cooling and refrig- st S L.X*1 ■ s NS I »S W 'Lmi' l,M r •• ^5 ■ 'a* rrWl SE L 4 Sv, S3- 1 - /«li SS IAl aaii i v.

In front of the gymnasium, a flower box, which camp director Rebecca Missad said is also the site of a future totem pole, was being dug out by John Schuitema, a staff member at the academy. Landscaping timbers were waiting to be placed. A major project was con­ struction of a viewing plat­ form on the east side of the campgrounds where there is a wetland. The six-foot high platform mounted on posts was a busy scene as two vol­ unteer teams worked to con­ struct the platform and to remove some trees and brush. The project involved 14 people and was supervised by Bill Bennett and Dave Steffler, GE volunteers, and Jackie Hurley, who teaches Spanish at the academy. Chris McIntyre, facilities director, explained that the camp experience is not all about nature and fun. One ot the most popular activities is the challenge-based high ropes. In this activity, campers climb up poles and navigate walkways between the poles and then slide down a rope. The camper can choose to come down at any pole.

Bottled water was readily available, and Bujak could be heard exhorting the pleting a challenge success­ fully builds confidence. Casual conversation with student Lennox Ramsey led to the discovery that the school has a community service requirement. According to him, a student who completes the 25-hour community service require­ ment by end of the summer of the first and second years is offered a half-hour of flight in the co-pilot seat at no charge. The five and a half hours of work plus a hot lunch (hotdogs, chili, potato chips, pickles, energy bars, and fruit punch) were a sig­ nificant contribution toward the 25 hours needed. 7--^ gdlBKIB g^srr J a A < A e a * 9 < 9980 Cherry Valley, Caledonia 49316 On the corner of M-37 and 100th Street Mon.-Fri. 8:30am-6pm and Sat. 8:30am-2pm 6T6 89170303 www.maynardswaterconditioning.com • ** �Page 18/The Sun and News Saturday, May 21, 2011 State revenue projections better than expected State officials reached a consensus Monday on eco­ nomic and revenue figures for the remainder of this fis­ cal year and for fiscal years 2012 and 2013. Treasurer Andy Dillon. Senate Fiscal Agency Director Ellen Jeffnet and Fiscal House Fiscal Agency Director Mitchell E. Bean determined that the net gen era I purpose revenue in the slate's general fund for this year is projected at $7.52 bil­ lion. That figure is up $296 million from estimates agreed to at the January rev­ enue conference. Current net school aid fund revenue is now estimated at $11.11 bil­ lion. up $132 million from January. Combined, esti­ mates for the two funds are up $429 million. Net general purpose rev­ enue for the 2012 fiscal year is now forecasted at $7.65 billion, up $356.9 million from the January estimate, while the school aid revenue estimate has been revised up $142 million to an estimated $11.34 billion for the same year. In fiscal 2013. general purpose revenue is estimated al $7.52 billion and school aid revenue is estimated at $11.63 billion. “While we have seen an up tick in several revenue areas, the income and sales taxes have shown the strongest increases as a result of employment gains." said Dillon. “There are some pos­ itive economic signs heading info the summer months, but we must continue our efforts to grow jobs and investment in Michigan to keep the state economy moving forward.” Dillon noted several risks to this week s agreed rev­ enue estimates, including high oil and gas pnccs. A prolonged spike in energy costs could have a dampen­ ing effect on state and national economic growth. “The revenue estimates agreed to today show posi­ tive signs toward economic recovery in Michigan,*’ said State Budget Director John Nixon Monday. “I am encouraged by this news and think it demonstrates that Michigan is poised and ready for a bright and prosperous future. I would caution, how­ ever, that the bright future we all desire can only hap­ pen if we remain committed to a balanced budget. We must proceed prudently and ensure we achieve long-term structural balance." » I i Caledonia’s Olivia Clipfell puts pressure on the Ottawa Hills defense late in the first half of the teams’ O-K Gold Conference Tournament opener Thursday aftern n (Photo by Brett Bremer) Scots will host FHE in Gold semifinals Monday Scot girls clinch league title by Brett Bremer with victory over Christian Caledonia's varsity girls’ lacrosse team clinched the OK Conference Tier II outright championship in its first sea­ son of play by knocking off Grand Rapids Christian for the second lime this season Wednesday. 17-9.

As a citizen, you’re probably concerned about how this situation will affect your life and your community. But as an investor, you may also won­ der how this might affect any municipal bonds you own. Fortunately, the outlook might be brighter than you think. Of course, taken to the extreme, the financial chal­ lenges of some state and local governments could conceivably affect their abil­ ity to fulfill the payment obligations on their munici­ pal bonds. But investment­ grade quality municipal bond default rates historically have been very low, espe­ cially when compared to those of corporate bonds. And municipalities are cut­ ting spending, eliminating nonessential programs and, in some cases, raising taxes or fees. In short, they are tak­ ing steps that, while poten­ tially painful to residents, are likely to help them continue making timely payments of interest and principal on their municipal bond obligations.

So are munis right for you? The answer depends on your situation — your goals, need for investment income, current investment mix, risk tolerance and so on. But if you want to receive interest payments that are exempt from federal taxes, you may well be interested in explor­ ing municipal bonds. Keep in mind, though, that municipal bonds may be subject to state and local taxes and the alter­ native minimum tax (AMT). In addition, you’ll want to be familiar with “taxableequivalent yield." Typically, municipal bonds pay an interest rate that’s lower than •It those paid by taxable bonds. Since this interest is free from federal taxes, however, the rate may not be as low as it appears. The taxableequivalent yield measures the rate you'd have to earn on a taxable bond to match the income from a taxexempt municipal bond. And the higher your tax bracket, the higher your taxableequivalent yield. Suppose that you're in the 35% marginal tax bracket, and you are considering a tax-exempt municipal bond with a 3.33% yield. You sim­ ply divide 3.33% (0.0333 in decimal form) by 1 minus 0.35 (your tax bracket), *75 OFF Call 945-9554 any time for classified ads WITH THIS AD BEDROCK Middleville Family Dentistry Brian McKeown D.D.S.

It’s true, time flies. Ten years ago I was sitting right where you are.” He told them, “Time con­ tinues to fly. It will not slow down when you become a graduate. I urge you to take advantage of the time that you are given. No matter where life takes you, you will never stay the same, you are going to either move for­ ward, stay stagnant or take a step backwards. You will either make someone’s day or ruin it. You will either be part of the problem or part of the solution. Don’t be neu­ tral. Take advantage of the time you have by making the greatest positive impact as •it possible. It is worth the time.” Then he talked about pushing through adversity. He asked the graduates how they handle adversity. “Adversity as a single word gets thrown around a lot, but it is in adverse situa­ tions you learn the most about yourself,” he told the graduates. “Randy Pausch, a late pro­ fessor from Carnegie Mellon who spoke about living while dying, said, ‘Brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to show how badly we want something.’ You have experienced some of these brick walls already. Start with the little ones while in athletics, arts or music. Little bit bigger. Some of your hearts were broken for the first time. Bigger. Defeating injury and disease. Biggest. Loss.

(Photo by Patricia Johns) by Patricia Johns Staff Writer Sometimes those who don't belong to a formal church or other organization don't know where to go when they want to help those less fortunate than them­ selves. About five years ago, sis­ ters Dawn Smith and Connie Hernandez started Global Embrace Missions. This year Smith presented a PowerPoint about GEM’s activities, and that inspired Kay Griffith and Karen Young to say, ‘that's what we want to do.’ After the end of school in June, Griffith, Young and Smith will be traveling to the Dominican Republic to fix roofs, distribute bicycles, work in medical units and do educational presentations on water filtration. Griffith and Young are also looking forward to working with children in the area of the Dominican Republic where they are staying. They will be there for one week. Smith will stay for a sec­ ond week and will be work­ ing with a second group of volunteers who will be run­ ning a Vacation Bible School, working with women and children and doing craft projects which those in the Dominican Republic will be able to sell. There are eight volunteers going in the first group and 10 in the second group. They will be staying in an orphan­ age. This is the first mission trip for both Griffith and ■54 Young. -■J “I am really excited. Dawn is angelic." Griffith said. Global Embrace Missions is open to anyone. Volunteers do not need to be affiliated with a church. Others who can’t go on a mission trip can assist GEM by donating building sup­ plies, water filtration sup­ plies, medicines, first aid supplies and vitamins. Smith says that GEM’s goal is to make an annual mission trip. GEM’s goals also include helping build safe housing, creating a healthy environment and keeping families together.

They provide hundreds of scholar­ ships to specifically chosen students and employ mentors that oversee healthy develop­ ment for students. “We believe that the prob­ lems of central Africa need to be tackled comprehensive­ ly, from peace to education, and would like to get our school involved in making a difference,” Beckering said. ICTK is holding a book drive until June 6 at the high school. Students can bring in gently-used books to their first hour classrooms. As an incentive for the students, the first hour class­ room that brings in the most books will receive Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. The ICTK has a goal of donating 3,000 books.

(Photo by Brett Bremer) I I I-*1 by Brett Bremer Sports Editor Fair or not, it felt like redemption to senior Hana Hunt. Thornapple Kellogg's var­ sity girls' track and field team won its third Division 2 Regional championship in four years Friday (May 20) at Mason High School. The Trojans dominated, outscoring runner-up Eaton Rapids 122 to 71. Last year at Charlotte, DeWitt edged Hunt and the Trojans by a single point. “It feels fantastic,” Hunt said of winning a third regional championship dur­ ing her varsity career. “I felt like it was my fault last year. I didn’t high jump very well. I got fifth or sixth or some­ thing, then the score sheet was wrong and we wound up losing by one. It was the event I was in that was mistyped. “I felt good this morning. I was going to do some work today. That's what I decid­ ed.” The Trojans started doing their work early, putting together a special 3200meter relay team that includ­ ed Hunt, Allyson Winchester, Casey Lawson and Grace Possett, which won the first finals race of the day in 9 minutes 49.57 seconds. The top two in each event Friday, plus others who met the preset qualifying times and distances, earned the right to take part in the June 4 Division 2 State Finals at Houseman Field in Grand Rapids. The Trojans also ended the day strong, with the team of Hunt, Winchester, Possett and Stephanie Ryfiak win­ ning•2- the 1600-meter relay in 4:09.09. “We knew we were going to play around with that twomile relay. We’ve been wanting to do that all year, we just weren’t strong enough depth wise to put those people in a relay,” said TK girls' coach Tammy Benjamin. “That was neat to be able to let them do that and get the best times there. That was fun, starting out with winning a relay and endin g with a win in a relay.” In between, the TK girls added six other victories. Winchester also won the 3200-meter run in 11:27.17 and the 1600 in 5:20.02. Hunt won the 400-meter dash in 1:00.74. “It was a lot better than the conference (meet),” said Winchester. “I just felt so much better today. Going into it ranked number one is exciting, so I had to keep that up.” In the field, TK’s Brittany London won the le vault by clearing 11 feet 9 inches, and teammate Erin Ellinger took the discus and shot put by setting personal records and TKHS junior class records in each event. She threw the disc 121-10 and recorded a mark of 37-7.5 in the shot put. Ellinger credited Mother Nature with some help. 1^ I** If#* ■’1^ 1 Thornapple Kellogg senior Hana Hunt rounds the final corner on her way to a regional championship in the 400-meter dash at last Friday’s Division 2 Regional Meet hosted by Mason High School.

Then we won both. Then we won confer­ ence but not regional,” said Benjamin. “I told them, hey I think you're there. They were pretty excited. The sen­ iors definitely gave us great leadership today. They were ready to go. They performed very well. Some of our younger kids performed very well. “It was a very good day. It was a really good day for us.

It's fitting that they share fifth place in the O-K Gold Conference. Wayland fin­ ished in fifth in the regular season standings thanks in part to its 2-1 win over the Trojans Saturday. TK earned the fifth spot in the league tie tournament by topping the Wildcats 2-1 in a shoot-out Wednesday. “Both teams played well. I thought it was a very hard fought game between two good teams,” said TK head coach Joel Strickland. The only two goals of the game were scored in the final ten minutes of regulation. The Trojans and Wildcats then played two scoreless ten-minute overtime sessions before heading to the shoot­ out. Each team made three of its first five penalty kicks to send the shoot-out into sud­ den death. The Wildcats and Trojans then both made their sixth penalty kick of the evening, sending it to a seventh shoot­ er. Trojan goalkeeper Alyssa Weesie was able to make a save on the Wildcat shot, and freshman Trojan Erin Scheidel clinched the win for TK by converting on her PK. Wayland scored first in the game, with Ashley Acton getting a shot past Weesie with 9 minutes 47 seconds left in regulation. The two teams had been back and forth throughout the first half, with the Wildcats outshooting the Trojans 4-2. TK turned the tables a bit in the second half, outshooting the Wildcats 12-7 in the second 40 minutes. . “I thought we just kind of had an urgency to start play­ ing better," said Strickland. “We just pushed through. (Wayland) kind of went into a defensive mindset with the 1-0 lead, and we held the play in their end of the field and we were just ripping good shots.” Kelli Graham finally found the back of the net for TK with 3:36 to play, driving in a direct kick from team­ mate Demi Scott. The Trojans advanced to the game for fifth-place in the league tournament by knocking off Ottawa Hills Monday in Middleville, 100. The Trojans also got a late goal in their meeting with the Wildcats in Wayland Saturday, with Holley Tripp lifting a shot over Wildcat keeper Abbie Kramer from the comer of the box with 2:06 left. TK needed two late goals that day though, as the Wildcats scored a 2-1 win. “They’re a great team,” Thornapple Kellogg’s Kelli Graham races ahead with the ball during the as Wayland’s Sarah Skeel gives chase during Saturday’s O-K Gold Conference contest.

The Kent County Parks Department posted “no swim­ ming” signs at Fred W. Ruehs Park following the incidents. Rebecca Fleury, Middleville village manager said the village wanted to remind all residents to be mindful and cautious of the * 4* 4 f | SKI’I S r. * ■X I ■ ST ' 1 ■I nu / — • • *.9 J': | FRED W RUEHS |i ’ PARK | L I4 B L u SUPERVISION KENT COUNTY I COMMISSION L I \ ** L* L \ I.A - Fred W.

(Photo by Patricia Johns) by Fran Faverman Staff Writer Caledonia The Community Schools District Board of Education l.l May 24 approved an update to the district’s strategic plan. The strategic plan pro­ vides a framework for the decision-making process in the system and reflects "input from every segment »• of the community. said Jerry Superintendent Phillips. The plan has eight parts. Student achievement is first, closely followed by provid­ ing ways for the staff to be effective. Making the best technology available for stu­ dents and engaging the com­ munity with the schools through encouragin'1 the participation of parents is another part. Measuring the effectiveness of efforts and how to measure them also figure the plan. into character Growing in extracurricular activities and athletics is important as part of the "Caledonia brand." An important function is to provide a plan for sustaining schools, which involves Lansing with relations I (essentially lobbying) and protecting the Caledonia brand. The last element in the plan is "securing our schools," which Phillips observed, "was added in 2007. It is important in everybody’s mind." Board President Mike Patterson commented, It keeps us focused. It is Jerry's working document." Phillips added, "It trickles down to buildings. If we can't find it in our strategic plan, then we need to ask ourselves where we are going." He commented that the updating process included M representatives from every building in the system. Finance Director Sam Wright laid out a series of budget amendments, which were approved by the board. The amendments balance the books for the current school year. Total revenues were $40,566,754 and the fund balance is $9,214,727. The fund balance is the dis­ trict’s reserve fund. The budget resolution became effective May 25. The for­ mal budget hearing is set for the June 28 board meeting. During the public com­ ment session, the board w as welcomed to Dutton Elementary School by Darrell Kingsbury, who noted the absence of a pres­ entation from students, saying, "I asked them if they wanted to help me welcome you this evening or if they wanted to play softball. You •1 can guess what happened. He went on to say that his school had been identified as one of 100 beating the odds for educating kids. "Parents, kids, and teach­ ers are working hard, Kingsbury said. “We have the support of the communi­ ty" He closed, observing, "I don't want the message to get lost in what is going on outside." Daniel Burd, a faculty member, took a break from his duties umpiring a softball game to share an e-mail he had received from a school superintendent in another district. The e-mail contrasted sharply conditions in school systems with those in the state of Corrections Michigan's Department. It focused particularly on the disparity between what it costs to incarcerate someone versus what is spent on educating children and what the writer _ _____ [ as described as privileges privileges afforded to inmates, but denied to the general public. It was warmly received by the audience. Turning to agenda items, the board took up the latest revisions policy from NEOLA. Inc., the company | that specializes in updating districts on the latest changes to federal and state statutes governing school districts. Eighteen policies were accepted by the board. Two focus on how boards of education operate. The first allows a board to estab­ lish committees for the per­ formance of its administra­ tive functions, and the sec­ ond limits the ability of a board member to refuse to vote on a topic. A board member may abstain from voting only when the topic involves a business conflict of interest or a relative. A third policy requires giving a superintendent 90 days notice of intention to discontinue employment. A fourth requires that effec­ tiveness be included in the school of evaluations Another administrators. includes student evaluations in the effectiveness of pro­ fessional staff. Six policies deal with the issues posed by the use of technology in social rela­ tionships among administra­ tors, professional stall and students. Texting is limited to the discussion of assign­ ments; limitations also apply to media such as Facebook. Contacts involv­ ing computer networks, the Internet, and staff and stu­ dent networks are also limited. Technology purchased by a school district may be used for school uses only. Four policies apply to the use of smokeless cigarettes on school property by pro­ fessional and support staff and students. Food allergies are the subject of a policy that requires a district to provide an alternative meal at no additional cost to a stuI See PLAN, page 3 , ****** * < rfT M 9rfl paayM) iitziefioj Jnsbup rtnabuJ? anabup. ) bhnW ibjqmoo yiCl IS .3,0 .aotlq Thornapple Kellogg Odyssey of the Mind Team places fourth in the world The Thomapple Kellogg Odyssey of the Mind Team, consisting of one third grade student, four fourth grade students and two fifth grade students, competed at the World Odyssey of the Mind competition over Memorial Day weekend in Washington D.C. and received fourth place. The team from both Lee and Page elementary schools solved the Full Circle Problem, which required the team to create and present a performance humorous where something changes form or appearance at least three times and eventually undergoes a tinal change where it returns to its origi- nal form and appearance. The team had to signal the audience each time there was a change. The performance also included a very silly character, a very serious character, a song and dance, and a surprise ending. “All Odyssey of the Mind problems must be performed within eight minutes,” said TK Odyssey of the Mind Director Annie Halle. Odyssey of the Mind is an educational international program that provides cre­ ative problem-solving oppor­ tunities for students from kindergarten through col­ lege.

Funds for the project will come from the 2007 Capital Projects Fund. Three existing roof surfaces will be removed by Modern Roofing, the same company that company replaced the roof on the English wing two years ago at a cost of $102,000. The district received five bids for the project; bids were opened May 18. The special 7:30 a.m. meetingA was called to get approval, allowing Modem Roofing to start the project as soon as the school year ended, The black roof will carry a 15-year manufacturer’s warranty. The board also voted to designate Trustee Cindy Ordway to represent Thornapple Kellogg in the Kent Intermediate School District school board elecp tion June 6. Board President Donald Haney will be the alternate. In addition, the board approved the KISD budget 4 resolution for the coming school year.

Board members Mike LoMonaco and David Nemmers dissent­ ed, resulting in a 5-2 vote; neither advanced a reason for the dissent. In two actions that Phillips described as annual formali­ ties, the board approved res­ olutions to support the Kent Intermediate School District budget (KISD) for the 201112 fiscal year and the appointment of Marcy White, as Caledonia repre­ sentative, Mike and Patterson, as alternate, to the KISD electoral body to elect Andrea Haidle and Claudia Bajema to fill board vacan­ cies on June 6, 2011. The board also approved a request by Lynelle Dodge, director of special programs, to approve the nomination of Lois Roelse, Natalie Douma and Kim Montague to the KISD Parent Advisors for Special Education Committee (PASE) Regional Parent Advisory Committee •« isasj for the 2011 -12 school year. Phillips presented the school news report saying that the Caledonia High School Orchestra had distin­ guished itself in its recent concert appearance with the Grand Rapids Symphony Orchestra. He also noted that the girls lacrosse team, now that it was a varsity sport, was competing in its first tournament. The interim pro­ gram has been reinstated at the end of the school year, and Glenmoor alternative high school held its gradua­ tion on Wednesday evening, May 25. Commenting on the spe­ cial incentive funds proposed in the school aid budget, Phillips observed that the Michigan Department of Education would "let you know you met the four-offive criteria requirement for the additional $100 per pupil reduction on retirement con­ tributions." In other words, reimbursement will come after the fact.

SE (M-37) CALEDONIA 891-1240 I was pleased to read in the Sun and News that the Yankee Springs Township Board of Trustees has finally agreed that they neglected to make one payment of $13,500 to the Gun Lake Area Water and Sewer Authority and that they will make up this late payment before the close of this fiscal year. This missing payment would likely not have been caught had it not been for the diligence and persistence of one concerned citizen, Shane Vandenberg of Payne Lake. Despite the protests from several of the board mem­ bers that this amount was not owed, Vandenberg contin­ ued to insist month after month that the money was owed and that the matter be reviewed by an objective third party. The result of the review was advice to the board that the payment was indeed due and should have been made back at the beginning of the contract in 2006. Sometimes we forget that township business is really grass-roots level government of the people and how much difference one voice can make. We all owe Shane Vandenberg our apprecia­ tion.

There are times when her team needs her to be selfish. Pontious scored eight times during her team’s 1611 victory over Mattawan in the Division 2 regional semi­ finals at East Grand Rapids High School Wednesday. Caledonia raced out to a 61 lead in the first 16 minutes of play, only to see Mattawan regroup to pull within one at 7-6 with 31 seconds left in the first half on one of Carly Triestram’s five goals. That was the first of three times the Wildcats would pull within a goal. Pontious made sure they never pulled even. Each time the Wildcats were within one, Pontious answered with a goal in less than a minute. “I do what I need to so that we win I guess,” said Pontious. “I need to be more of a team player I guess." She put her team up 8-6 at the intermission with a goal with 19.1 seconds left in the first half. When Triestram scored the first goal of the second half 32 seconds in, Pontious answered 11 sec­ onds later. Triestram and Pontious traded goals to start the sec­ ond half, with Triestram adding her second of the half at the 18:17 mark and Pontious tallying another goal to put her team back up two with 17:30 left. That Pontious goal started a run of four goals in three minutes for the Fighting Scots, who moved out to a 14-8 lead and led by at least five for the rest of the game. “Keagan is a two-year lacrosse player," said Caledonia head coach Ralph Shefferly. “We stole her from soccer. She is an out­ standing athlete and she is like a sponge with lacrosse. She takes everything that we teach her and she takes it to the next level.” Caledonia also got three goals each from senior Sara Kuzava and sophomore McKinzie Arnold, and two from freshman Ashley Watson. “I think it's amazing, Pontious said of reaching Friday's regional final. “We've been working so hard this season and I just think that our team, from where we came from, we deserve to be here because every one has worked so hard for it. We're just doing great." Where the Scots came from is last season, when the team was a club team that finished the year with a 4-10 record. Where they were heading after Wednesday night was the Division 2 regional finals at East Grand Rapids where they were scheduled to face Grand Rapids Catholic Central Friday. The fifth-ranked Cougars knocked off fourthranked East Grand Rapids 14-13 in overtime in the other regional semifinal at EGR Wednesday. “If you told me were 'A f 'f < F I d 4 0 £ :> 2$ ■ £ & , .a 9• 1 - < * AV -T > z. » » i ■ i Jl R J > -* . aIH - - {!«l* ilK*’ t* \ < The Fighting Scots’ Keagan Pontious fires a shot past Mattawan’s Carsen Mitchell for a al in the final seconds of the first half Wednesday during their teams’ Division 2 Regional Semifinal Wednesday in East Grand Rapids.

It was a good thing for us. This game was really good because Mattawan is like us... Mattawan is right at our level, the same kind of team and they have a whole bunch of other kids coming back next year like we do. It’s going to be one of those things where it's going to be •sth: a nice rivalry. “ Emily Stroh and Morgan Hoek each had a pair of goals for Mattawan in the loss, while Taylor Davidson and Katie Short had one each.

SVSU was one of eight nationally ranked teams from around the country who qual­ ified for Salem by winning their regional championships. SVSU then made it to the “Final Four" in the tourna­ ment by defeating N. Georgia, the number two ranked team in the country. Both Gehrls and Kimes were also part of the 2010 “Big League" World Series championship team, that won the Big League World Series last Summer in Kalamazoo, by defeating the Philippines team in the championship game. Participating in one World Series event is a dream come true. Gehrls and Kimes feel very fortunate and proud to have had the opportunity to be part of two World Series events within the same year. Both Gehrls and Kimes will play on separate, highly competitive, teams for the summer, and then return to SVSU in the fall to make another run at the NCAA World Series Championship for 2012. i (Jkd 4 ■ •?! - r V �The Sun and News.

The event has been held annually on Father’s Day weekend since 1983. This year, riders must complete the 121.6-mile first loop around Barry County to qualify for the 23.7 loop in the Gun Lake area. Cyclists ride this loop several may i times before dusk but must complete at least one loop two to ride the third loop. The third loop is the 7.5mile night loop, which requires lights on the bicycles. Only the loops completcd by 8 a.m. Sunday, June 19, will count. Cyclists share the road with motor vehicle traffic and must follow the rules of the road. For at least two of the rid­ ers, this year’s event will offer a chance to complete milestones as they follow the routes marked by yellow arrows. Awards are given to many of the riders. Those who have accumulated 1,000 miles receive a jersey. For each of the following I,(KM) miles, riders receive patches, and there are medals for other achievements, One rider this year, however, is ex pealed to reach 5,000 miles and another anticipates being the first to accumulate 10,000 miles. Nancy Henriksson of Middleville has been ridin 24-Hour the National Challenge since the 1980s. She credits Skip and Diane Obermyer, former challenge organizers, for inspiring her to continue.

Last year, Jim Hlavka of Racine, Wis., kept trying to get her to do just a few more of the overnight third loop circuits to reach 5,000 miles then. At that time, she told him, “I’ll do it next year." She has since had some •re medical work done, includ­ ing carpal tunnel surgery, but still expects to earn her 5,000-mile patch. She will also receive a special 5.000mile jacket. Hlavka, age 72, has been riding the National 24-Hour Challenge tor more than 20 years. He has 340 miles to complete before he reaches his 10,000 milestone.

It They’re an excellent team and I felt we kind of got back on our heels and we didn't play as well on the first goal or two as we probably should have," said Caledonia head coach Steve Sanxter. ‘‘After Help Wanted Fann ANIMAL CARE GIVERS: Large kennel of small dogs.

We just didn't win enough balls far enough up the field, and its tough to counterattack off that." The lone attack that made it through for the Scots started with Rubina Veerakone sending a pass ahead to teammate Hailey Yondo. Yondo hit it to the center for Corrie Good who was making a run at the Ranger net. Good tapped the ball pas the last Ranger defender. Bria Spraggins, then rolled it past Ranger keeper Candace Cullens. That was the only shot by the Scots that made it on goal all evening. “They’re very, very good,” said Forest Hills Central coach Jeremy Stacy. “We just came out, we played really hard, won the fifty-fifty batties early on, and just made it really difficult for them to do what they wanted to do. “They transition really well, and look to get their forwards in and do a very good job of that. You can't let down on them for a second, and we didn’t really until that goal. Everything we knew we had to do to beat these guys, the girls did it and did it realJy well. All it would take is just a small amount of effort less than we gave and its a 11,2-1 real, real close game.” The Rangers eliminated the possibility of a goal or two beating them in the first 17 minutes of play. Sam Vinton scored in the tenth minute for the Rangers, and then in the next seven minutes the Rangers added goals by Marti Corby and Tori Keller. Keller would score again in the 34th minute to put her team up 4-0 at the half. “We knew it was a big game and we needed to show up,” Sanxter said. “We didn’t show up with our best stuff and they did. and the score reflected it. When you make a mistake against a team of that caliber you end up paying for it, where as some games you can get away with it. It just didn't work for us this time." The Rangers, who scored their six goals on ten shots. tacked on goals by Clare Carlson and Mariah Otolski in the first 13 minutes of the second half, The Scots ended the regular season ranked eighth in the state in Division 1, and finish the year with a 19-3 record. They were the O-K Gold Conference champions for the third straight season, “We had a great season, and this is really a disappoint­ ment, but after what we’ve accomplished this year we hate to exit this way, but I’m still proud of the girls and so pleased with the effort that they gave this year. It is what it is,” Sanxter said. Forest Hills Central improved to 17-1 with the victory. The Rangers’ only loss came against Portage Central. 3-2 in the final game of the regular season. The Rangers opened postseason play with a win over Grand Ledge Tuesday. Caledonia knocked off East Kentwood 3-0 in its district opener at East Kentwood Tuesday. Kendra Stauffer scored two goals 61 seconds apart in the second half to seal the win for the Scots, off assists from Huver and Yondo. Huver and Yondo are two of just four seniors on the Caledonia roster this season. A w !y;> $ they graduated last week along with teammates Jessica Nelson and Stacey Forton.

Julie Capt. Jones and Bill Johnson, members of the Barry County Sheriffs Department Marine Division, explain the rules and enforcement procedures for boaters and swimmers around Orangeville Island. The meeting was con­ vened by Jim Linderman, president of the association, in the clubhouse at the Springs Yankee Golf Course. Closure of the island — known by many as Party Island — by its owners two years ago has led to com­ plaints from business own­ ers around and visitors to Gun Lake. introduced Linderman Jones and Johnson, saying that they were there to explain, “what you can do inland waters are not the and can’t do," around the same as those for the Great Lakes; most boaters are island. Jones began with an more familiar with those overview, saying that in rules. Boiled down to its sim­ 2009, the England family approached the department plest level, the water is free; asking how to protect the the ground under the water island from further damage is not. In the case of Orangeville by trespassers; liability for injuries also was a signifi­ Island, in 1912 most of the cant concerns, since the fam­ land was dry.

Using the 1912 was informed that the deed supplied by the family department would respond and consulting with an attor­ ney specializing in water to complaints. The department is enforc­ rights issues, it was deter­ ing the state’s trespass law mined that a minimum depth and, according to Jones, of five feet offered a reason­ prefers to educate people able standard. In short, as long as people rather than issue tickets or arrest individuals for the stays in a boat and the boat simple misdemeanor crime is moving, there is no prob­ around Orangeville lem ; of trespass. The first surprise for Island. Once the boat is many in the audience secured in less than five feet Wednesday was that Gun of water or a swimmer Lake is legally classified as touches the bottom in less inland water. The rules for than five feet of water, the individual is liable to receive a ticket for criminal trespass. Under Michigan law, per­ sons who are actively fish­ ing are entitled to stand on the bottom. This was not what the crowd wanted to hear. Questions flew fast and furiously. Issues raised included freedom of navigation on tributaries to the Great Lakes, riparian rights, a gen­ eral belief that “They can't do this to me," as well as adverse possession, which can allow people to acquire ownership through a lawsuit because the recorded owner has allowed a pattern of use without asserting ownership, Johnson and Jones used the example of a waterfront owner who finds his or her dock and beach area being used by a stranger. That is trespass, and if the owner called the department and about the complained stranger, the department would respond and could ticket the offender for tres- pass. However, the audience did not make the transfer of the analogy to the owners of Orangeville Island. A member of the audience suggested buying the island, which did not fly because the owners have no desire to sell. Another complaint accused the department of harassing boaters by stopping them for no apparent reason. Jones said part of their duties as deputies in the marine division is safety inspections; the doctrine of probable cause does not apply on water; safety is the justification for the stops, therefore there is no harass­ ment. “How much money is being spent to protect the island? asked an unidentified member of the audi­ ence. “None," responded Jones, “It is our normal duty." Another complained that deputies were being diverted from other duties just to pro- tect the island. Another individual asked, “What damage is one to 500 boats doing when they are playing volleyball in the water?" Johnson said the depart­ ment cannot enforce the law in a discriminatory manner. Troy Finholm, a resident on Bayview Drive, said, “What we have to do is get a group together, lease the island and turn it into a park."

The Gun Lake Tribe announced details of the first revenue-sharing payments to the state and local govern­ ments. The tribe was joined by members of the newly formed local revenue-shar­ ing board, which received $514,871, while the state received $2,059,482.

This board will be meeting shortly to set guidelines for the distribution of funds. During the conference, VanVolkinburI H explained that the compact prescribes mandatory local funding to reimburse municipalities for costs incurred due to the operation of the casino, pub­ lic safety services and replacement of tax revenue. The board is responsible for establishing bylaws that govern the local distribution process. Other possible uses for local revenue-sharing funds include funding for schools and civic organiza­ tions. “The local community will benefit greatly from these much-needed funds provided by the tribe. This will allow area municipali­ ties to improve public safety and infrastructure services to make life better for all resi­ dents,” said VanVolkinburg. The state revenue-sharing payments are made to aide the economic development and job creation efforts of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. These payments are depend­ ent on the preservation of exclusive gaming rights within the Gun Lake Tribe’s competitive market area which includes the cities of Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo and Lansing and the entire counties of Kent, Kalamazoo and Ingham, among others. The tribe will distribute the state and local revenue­ sharing payments two times per year. The next distribu­ tion will be made in November. *’7If? if* f^ J flfli jii**1 s* Hl! r ! • • tat® at bMib: From Our Readers Nominations sought for Barry County Senior Citizen of the Year Local Citizens Speak Out On Issues Poor brickwork deters business To the editor: I’m all for supporting our hometown businesses.

He has been engaged in a nearly year-long battle against “diffuse large B cell non-Hodgkins lymphoma.” Michael is the son of Randy Kreple and Pat of Middleville. During his chemo therapy, he was weighed in the morn­ ing when arriving for the treatment and eight to 10 hours later after receiving all four chemicals, his weight increased approximately 15 pounds. Mike said his skin would feel rock hard, like an over-inflated balloon, At the time of the diagno­ sis and the phone call home to inform his parents of this sudden and very unexpected turn of events, he mentioned that driving his dad’s sprint car was on his bucket list. After completing grueling chemotherapy treatments and hearing the words “no active cancer cells are seen in any of the scans,” a trip home was arranged, and drive the sprint car he did. Michael resides in Palmdale, California with his wife, Jacky. They have two children, a nine-year-old son Lance and 16-year-old daughter Madison. Through Facebook and a blog, which consisted of his Facebook posts and addition­ al photos, there was enor­ mous prayer support from this area. This support included many of his East Kentwood High School friends and friends of his parents back home in Middleville, and several divergent groups with which his parents are associated. Wristbands were sold, and a guitar was raffled to help defray medical expenses. Since Michael was going to be in town, his mom Pat said, “it seemed appropriate to have a cancer survivor cel­ ebration picnic for all those who had followed his chal­ lenges, prayed for and/or supported him and his family, as well as friends and acquaintances who had also $ z ■y X Mike Kreple is in his dad’s sprint car waiting to be pushed off.

Planning Commission recommends extension of mining permit I by Fran Faverman * Staff Writer Most of last Monday evening's meeting of the Caledonia Township Planning Commission was spent on an application by the Cherry Valley Development Company for a renewal of its permitted min­ eral removal (PMR) permit. The company, owned by Peter Den Hartigh and his family, owns a 258-acre site that has been mined since 1989. The site is bounded on the north by 68th Street and on the east by Thomapple River Drive and the river. With a 4-1 vote, the plan­ ning commission approved an extension of the existing PMR, but requiring a base­ line study, a dialogue between neighbors and Den Hartigh over the next five years, and the correction of problems. Commissioner Ric Parent cast the dissenting vote, saying he wanted to table the application. While the issue before the commission was only the renewal of the existing per­ mit, which expired on May 4, 2011, the context in the life of the township appears to be considerably more complex. At a meeting of the Caledonia Township Board of Trustees last February, a letter from the Den Hartigh family indicated a desire to donate 200 acres to the town­ ship as a public park. The donation of the area is con­ •it tingent upon approval of a 20-year PMR for the compa­ ny, representation by the family on a committee to oversee the park, preserva­ tion of access to family resi­ dences, and exemption from taxation as portions of the property are donated to the township beginning in 2011. Once the application had been introduced, Roger Keating, who owns neigh­ boring property at 2168 Thornapple River Drive, rose to oppose the renewal of the permit. He has consis­ tently objected to previous renewals of the permit say­ ing that he has lost trees due to the diversion of water from his property and now also opposes a length of 20 years for a renewal. He views the conversion of the property to tax-exempt status as a burden on the township despite assurances from township Treasurer Richard Robertson that the loss of any tax revenue poses no burden. Commission Chairman Archie Warner responded to Keating, asking the level of the water table. Keating replied that engineers from the company had suggested a level of 710 feet be increased to 712 feet. Dale Hermenet, a township trustee and a mem­ ber of the Den Hartigh fami­ ly by marriage, said that Exxel Engineering had measured the level at 713 feet. Keating said that from the road at 715 feet, he could not see the lake. Don Koopmans, board liaison to the commission, observed that he did not see any readings from the moni­ toring wells. An extensive discussion followed concerning water­ ing levels and Keating's description of the various coursework he has done in becoming, in his view, a selfeducated hydrologist. Parent summarized that phase of the discussion, saying he had spent a lot of time with Keating; a hydrologist is needed to meet with Keating, who agreed further investi­ gation was warranted. he Hermenet added believed the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality had to approve the lakes. Warner returned to the issue of diversion of water, asking, "Couldn't you run it under the road?" only to be told that Keating was report­ ed as having said that he was not sure he wanted it done that way, but would prefer to have the water filtered through the sand. Keating admitted that Den Hartigh had suggested that, but he also did not want to put Den Hartigh to the expense of such a solution. Warner riposted, riposted. "I thought you needed more water. I didn't realize it had to be crystal clear."

He (Den Hartigh) doesn't fill with clay; he is trying everything he can. He doesn't know what will be possible." Warner suggested, "A pipe in there with a valve to control the flow. "It sounds like both have tried. The goal is to get the permit and to get Keating more water," he said. Hermenet contributed the comment that a park is preferable to a development and added that there is no doubt Den Hartigh would benefit financially from sell­ ing the land for develop­ ment. "You have been renewing the PMR for 22 years," Keating said. Warner refocused the dis­ cussion: "We are looking at a 20-year permit. I think it should be in increments such as five years so that issues could be brought up." Koopmans supported Warner, agreeing that five years was a good idea. "Data should be in place. There should be information available," Warner added. Commissioner Duane Gunnink, entering the dis- cussion, said. "We should address the problem. We don't know what is done. Somebody should look at it. •!•!• We have to get a handle on it. We don't know who is going to pay for it." Warner recommended using three years for the first renewal. Gunnink observed that it has not caused prob­ lems with wells. Keating said that the defi­ nitions of surface water have changed. Gunnink commented that changes occur in cycles and that all of them knew that. "It didn't happen before the PMR," Keating said, adding he was comfortable with the shorter time period. Warner focused on the mechanics: "You have to have a baseline." •Sj Hermenet suggested using the present as a baseline. The discussion moved to what has been tried to date. "Look at what is reason­ able. [There is] no liability if a solution doesn't work," Warner said. Moving on, Parent said. "I'm under the impression we are looking at a renewal or a new permit." The next question to draw his attention was whether or not there was a requirement for a public hearing. He noted that activity would increase as the economy improved. "The impact on residents should be considered." In other business, the commission approved unani­ mously a Special Use Permit (SUP) for Ellen Constantino to build a 20- X 36-foot leanto addition on the property at 10422 Alaska Ave. The extra space was needed to be able to buy hay and other feed supplies in bulk for their horses and to permit storage of gardening and lawn equip­ ment. The property is zoned for agriculture. According to a letter from township planner Lynee Wells, amendments to the Professional Shopping Services Planned Unit Development at 7105 Broadmoor Ave. in Caledonia did not require action by the commission because the changes were minor and could be handled administratively. No action was taken by the commis­ sion. The next regularly sched­ uled meeting of the planning commission will be Monday, June 22 at 7 p.m. in the township offices at 8196 Broadmoor Ave. '4 ft I* b A t x .-I.:- ti' Caledonia approves fireworks applications by Fran Faverman Staff Writer During its June I meeting, the Caledonia Township Board of Trustees approved applications by George and Evelyn Rodgers to place three contiguous parcels into the farmland and open space program under Public Act 116. The parcels are in Section 28 of the township, fronting on Cherry Valley Avenue and running from 100th Street north to 92nd Street. Township Clerk Jennifer Christian explained that farmers are allowed to place eligible parcels of 40 acres or more into the program for a minimum of 10 years and a maximum of 90 years. She said the program results in creation of a credit that may be applied to income taxes; the program has no impact on real property tax revenues to the township. “Farmers can bail out early, but they face back taxes and penalties if they do,” said Trustee Richard Snoeyink. A question about the zon­ ing of the property was raised by Trustee Dale Hermenet, who was assured that the zoning may be mixed, but the use is agricul­ tural, and it is the use that applies. In other action involving real estate, Treasurer Richard Robertson said that the town­ ship would buy a foreclosed property on Egan Street for $1,000 from the Kent County Foreclosure List. He explained that the land adjoins property owned by the school district; since such property must be used for a public purpose when bought by a municipality, the town­ ship will sell it to the district. •II The board approved four applications connected to fireworks displays, sales and costs. Among the items approved were two for the display in Caledonia Saturday, June 25; a contri­ bution of $2,500 toward the cost of the display for the local Independence Day cel­ ebration being put on by Nightworks Inc., and the per­ mit for the display. Ed Hekman, Enchantment Drive resident, sought approval for the sixth annual Buck Lake fireworks display on Saturday evening, July 9, after dark. The second appli­ cation for sales from July 1 through July 4, was submit­ ted by Ron DeMond, doing business as Ron D Enterprises at J and S Auto Service, 6737 Whitneyville Ave. The board went into a closed session at 7:23 p.m. to discuss an attorney's letter of May 17 and another attorney letter received June 1; the letters appear to concern the status of a former township employee. The next regular meeting of the board will be June 15 at 7 p.m. in the township offices at 8196 Broadmoor Ave. o CD GJ CD cn o V' / When times are tough, s we make things easier That's why we recommend Grange - a company that makes things easy when times are tough. 96% of Grange S’ policyholders who fi led a claim would recommend Grange to family and friends.

In the Spring of 2004 the North and South nt Water Systems were interconnected along M-37. Both water systems rely on groundwater to supply the daily water demands of each service area. Both water plants have three production wells each at an average depth of approximately 300 feet. All six wells are in the Marshall Formation Sandstone, which is a high quality, high yielding geological formation.

The Fighting Scots ended their season with a 14-4 record, falling to Grand Rapids Catholic Central in the Division 2 regional finals last Friday at East Grand Rapids High School. The Scots were the OK Rainbow Tier II champions this spring, with a perfect 9-0 record in the conference. (Photo by Paris Studios) by Brett Bremer Sports Editor The foundation has been laid now, and its a solid one. Caledonia’s first ever var­ sity girls’ lacrosse season came to an end by the shore of Reeds Lake in East Grand Rapids Friday (June 3), as the Fighting Scots were downed by Grand Rapids Catholic Central 21-9 in the Division 2 regional finals. “We start seven freshmen. We start two sophomores. We start two seniors, you know,” said Caledonia head coach Ralph Shefferly. “What are you going to tell them. Like our T-shirt says, on the back of the T-shirt, OK Rainbow Conference champs - from worst to first. We were a club team last year and we won four games and we were in last place. This year we go undefeated in our conference and beat teams by an average of ten or 12 goals a game, except for these teams.” These teams include the likes of O-K Rainbow •a Tier I foes like Grand Rapids Catholic Central, East Grand Rapids, Rockford and Forest Hills. “The teams that have pro­ grams,” Shefferly said. “You can see the difference physi­ cally. Our girls have to learn how to catch in traffic, how not to turn the ball over, how to cradle. The Catholic Centrals, and the Easts, and the Forest Hills and the Rockfords they've been doing it for years and years. This is a learning experience. “I really like how my girls are feeling right about now. They're not happy, and that’s good. That shows me that this wasn’t one of those things where they expected to get beat this bad. It’ll come. Catholic Central is a great team and well coached.” In the final 12 minutes of I* 111 •I Grand Rapids Catholic Central’s Olivia Brackett celebrates in the foreground as Caledonia’s Keagan Pontious and Ellery Alexander (right) make their way off the field following the Cougars’ 21-9 win over the Scots in the Division 2 regional final at East Grand Rapids High School Friday.

(Photo by Brett Bremer) the first half Catholic Central went on a 7-1 run to bump its lead from 6-4 to 13-5 at the half. Goals by the Scots’ Savannah Monroe and Ashley Watson pulled their team to within 14-7 early in the second half, but that was as close as Caledonia would get the rest of the game. Watson finished with a team-high three goals for Caledonia. Keagan Pontious had two and Sara Kuzava, McKinzie Arnold and Ellery Alexander added one each as well. Catholic Central got five goals from Tori Nienhaus, and four each from Emily Braun and Nikki Herman.

(Photo by Brett Bremer) The victory secured the Cougars' their first appear­ ance in the state semifinals since 2007. Catholic Central won that semifinal contest, i16-12 o-1 z over over Livonia Ladywood, and will play in i the state finals at Troy Athens today at Troy Athens against Bloomfield Hills Academy of the Sacred Heart. “Caledonia has got a lot of good athletes, playing hard,” said Catholic Central head coach Dennis McCarty. “We've got probably a little bit more playing experience. Give them another few years and they're just going to keep on getting better. The Cougars not only had a skill edge, but were quick­ er to the ball on draws and when it was bouncing along the turf for anyone to scoop up. “Ball possession is the name of the game, because it's an offensive game,” said McCarty. “There's not a whole lot defensively you can do. It's not like the boys' game where you're whack­ ing each other, so ball pos­ session - that's it. Getting the ground balls, passing and catching are the name of the game, and they did a good job with that tonight.” Catholic Central also got one goal each from Meghan Wilson, Maddie Brackett and Kaitlin Braun. Helene Miller made five saves in net for Caledonia, while Sophie Vachon had nine at the other end for the Cougars. The Scots end the season with a 14-4 record and grad­ uate just three seniors this spring: Kuzava, Tarah Miller and Kayla Lodewyk. k, �The Sun and News, Saturday.

These repairs are the con­ tinuation of a series of adjustments being made in hopes of stabilizing the bricks at no cost to taxpay­ ers. At the recommendation of the engineering firm for the project, Fleis & VandenBrink, the village will undertake maintenance to the bricks as needed until the truck traffic is re-routed off of Main Street and onto the new Crane-Finkbeiner Road extension scheduled to open in July. Once truck traffic is off Main Street, the village and Pavers Plus will complete a final repair and maintenance project on the bricks for stabilization and then evaluate the condition every two weeks to see if removing the truck weight from traffic will alleviate the brick shift­ ing. Fleis & VandenBrink have also asked the village to wait on any permanent solutions for the brick on Main Street until they can evaluate the area without truck traffic and through another Michigan freeze­ thaw cycle.

To that end, we hired Rick to lead the development of our public safety department and build upon its capabilities in the years to come,” said D.K. Sprague, chairman of the Gun Lake Tribe. The Gun Lake Tribe Department of Public Safety was acknowledged by the Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards with the authority to employ law enforcement officers and empower those officers to act as peace officers under state law. This action fol­ lowed the execution of a cross-deputization agreement between the tribe and Allegan County. Tribal police officers will have authority to enforce local, state and federal laws in the community, but have primary responsibility to enforce tribal law on tribal lands. Tribal police have jurisdiction over tribal citi­ zens and tribal property. “I am honored to have the opportunity to serve the tribe and its citizens,” said Rabenort. “It is great to be part of this historic period of growth in the Gun Lake trib­ al community.” The department of public safety will soon hire more officers and expand its police force. The tribe has allocated funding to hire two addition­ al officers who are expected to begin service soon.

MON TH 4:45, 7:10. 9:50 In other business, the board for the Memorial Day obserby Patricia Johns Staff Writer Among the topics dis­ cussed at the June 9 meeting of the Yankee Springs Township Board of Trustees meeting was a proposal from Fleis and VandenBrink Engineering for renovations and possible expansion of the township hall. The first alternative, essentially a renovation of the existing facility, would remedy some of the most outstanding deficiencies in the building; it would add a minimum amount of office space plus a unisex bathroom with compliant the Americans with Disabilities Act. It would also provide repairs to the basement, which has a continuing water problem, and a canopy at the main entrance. The second alternative would be an expansion of the building. Two approaches to the need for office space were presented. The first would add 1,520 additional square feet of space, while the second would add 588 additional square feet. The parking lot would be expanded by 14 spaces to the south and 16 spaces to the north. According to a pre-design estimate from Fleis and VandenBrink dated Feb. 17, the design-and-build cost, plus contingencies and archi­ tectural fees would be approximately $326,860. Township Clerk Janice Lippert at a meeting early this spring presented a resolution to establish a capital that fund improvement would be funded with $360,000 from the general fund. The township has been able to set aside about $120,000 each year for three years. She said she would like to deposit that money Hi into a fund to finance improvements to the hall. Other board members have expressed concern that tak­ ing $360,000 from the cur­ rent budget and putting it into a restricted fund repre­ sents too large a commitment in the present economy. There is also disagreement about the extent of the reno­ vations or expansion needed. Board member agree that the four most pressing needs are the construction of an ADAcompliant bathroom, con­ struction of a floor sufficient to support the weight of the assessor's filing cabinets, repairs to the attic and ceil­ ing of the community room in the hall, and the addition of more parking spaces. Resident Shane Vandenberg rose to object to the cost and to the use of an engineering firm. He main­ tained that an estimate of $30,000 to fix the hall’s elec­ trical system was consider­ ably more than was needed. He also recommended solv­ ing the ceiling problem through the use of one-hour fire-resistant material. In his view, everything could be accomplished for less than $240,000. The board took no action on the proposal. Moving onto reports, Dave Middleton, director of Township Thornapple Emergency Services, said his department had seem. more ;activity on the fire side and had already performed three water rescues, including one on Gun Lake. For the month of May, Yankee Springs had four fires and three medical emergencies. Responding to a query from Supervisor Al McCrumb, Middleton said the department’s. role as backup to emergencies and possible fires at the new Gun Lake Casino was limited to the requirements of the mutual aid pact, Paul Heystek, a member of the zoning board of appeals, used the public comment period to say that he had an appointment with the governor's office and a possible one-on-one with a congressman to attempt to * get relief from the flood insurance rate map that put 475 parcels on Gun Lake in a flood zone.

I Yankee Springs considers recycling options by Fran Faverman Staff Writer t The Yankee Springs town­ ship board at its regular monthly meeting on June 9 accepted for discussion an analysis of the report »!• pre­ pared by deputy township clerk Marge Vandermeyden. Her report, entitled "Should Yankee Springs Township Continue to Provide Recycling?" laid out the pros and cons of continuing the program. She identified several problems. By far the worst problems are the misuse and abuse of the program through the dumping of household trash and garbage; one bag of such material contaminates the entire load which then goes to a landfill instead of being recycled. When the container is full, material is dumped around the container and creates a environment hazardous because of broken glass and ■ h, ;b diverted from regular duties to cleanup; it also does not consider the value of the contributions made by users of the facility who from time to time pick up trash or sweep up broken glass. She noted that the pro­ gram has significant bene­ fits: environmental protec­ tion, keeping recyclables from landfills, and assisting people in their attempts to recycle materials. The report closes with ssible solutions to three the problems. The first, changing the pickup from two to three times a week has a clear disadvantage; the cre­ ation of an additional cost of at least $11,990.68 a year at present rates to the township. A second solution is to enclose the center in a chain link fence and hire an employee to open it at desig­ nated times during the week. The third solution is to remove the recycler and let residents contract with their metal. A third major concern is the use of the facility by non-residents of Yankee Springs. It has been possible to identify residents from other communities through material such as envelopes and magazines. Safety concerns and liabil­ ity issues also are a major concern. The township may be exposed to liability for injuries from broken glass and tom metals as well as damage to tires on vehicles. In the winter ice and snow in the area also present a haz­ ard. Not to be overlooked are the rapidly escalating costs of providing the service. Vandermeyden noted that at the rate of two pickups per week for a total of 86 pick­ ups by Allied Waste, Inc., the contractor, from June 2010 through May of 2011, the cost was $23,075.61 .This cost excludes any additional costs incurred by the town­ ship when an employee is cated the use of surveillance cameras. However that approach appears to have foundered on the limitations of the technology and the investment required. McCrumb expressed the view that putting up a fence and using cameras would not solve the problem. Cook essentially agreed with Craig and Judy Funk of Jerkaitis on the popularity of the service noting its use by Delton wish to announce the people from other communi- engagement ot their daughtjes ter, Kelly Funk to Jonathan Frank Fiala, a member of Reeder, the son of Daniel and the Barry County Solid Karen Reeder of Caledonia.

But there’s more than one way to own bonds, so you'll want to be familiar with the various investment vehicles available — because the more you know, the better the choices you'll be able to make. So. let's look at three popular ways of owning bonds: • Individual bonds — When you buy an individual bond, you will receive pre­ dictable interest payments. And when your bond matures, you'll get the origi­ nal principal back, unless the issuer defaults, which is not common in cases of “invest­ bonds. ment grade" However, the value of your bond —- the price you could get for it if you sold it on the open market before it matured — will fluctuate over time, primarily in response to interest rates. (When market rates go up. the value of your bond drops, and vice versa.) In general, you'll pay at least $5,000 for an individual bond, though that amount may vary. Consequently, while this approach gives you more control, it can be more time consuming and require a larger investment in order to build a diverse fixed-income ▼] 1 B* 1M II X IM 11 1 i* i ft; Mi i I< F 1 n a > i •w £ •* s? * * Un £*' is ’I’1* •1 1 saw oiah portfolio. • Bond funds — By invest­ ing in a bond-based mutual fund, which may own dozens of different types of bonds, you can efficiently increase your diversification, which is important, because diversifi­ cation can help reduce credit risk (although it can't guarantee a profit or protect against a loss). A bond fund does not pay you a fixed rate of return; instead, you receive dividends, which will fluctuate based on the under­ lying bonds' interest rates and capital appreciation. In addition, bond funds don’t have a maturity date when principal is repaid. Keep in mind that when you purchase bond funds, you could be subject to capital gains taxes in two different ways: if you sell your fund shares for a profit or if the fund manager sells an underlying bond for more than it's worth. This increased capital gains liabil­ ity is one reason that many people put bond funds in a tax-deferred vehicle, such as an IRA or a 401 (k). • Bond UITs — A unit investment trust (UIT). like a mutual fund, contains a variety of bonds, so you get the benefit of diversification. Unlike a mutual fund, how­ ever, a UIT is not actively managed and does not chanse its holdings. And since no manager is involved in making changes or trades. a UIT has low management fees. A UIT is typically established for 20 to 30 years, but, as an individual1 investor, you can sell your shares whenever you want. for whatever the market will bear Although UITs can be some of the most cost-effi­ cient. low-risk options in the fixed-income arena, they are not without risk. Specifically, since a UlT's bonds provide fixed interest rates, there's always the possibility that the bonds will lose purchasing power to inflation over time. When choosing how to own bonds, you'll need to evaluate many factors — and we've only looked at some of them. You may want to consult with a financial advi­ sor to determine which methods of bond ownership are appropriate for your needs, By doing your homework, and getting the help you need, you can maximize the advantages of adding bonds to your investment mix.

He suggested a 433 drainage district. If this application is approved, it would formally create a drainage district allowing for improvements and regular maintenance under the oversight of the county drain commission. Costs for improvements and maintenance are assessed annually to the properties actually benefit­ ing from the facilities. The drain commissioner can assess Michigan Department of Transportation, as well. Village Manager Rebecca Fleury explained that Williams and Works evaluat­ ed the pond and prepared a preliminary' design for easier maintenance and a better appearance. This design will store more water during intense storms and release the water over a longer peri­ od of time. It will help allevi­ ate downstream flooding, she added. Yarger told the village the commission is willing to use the Williams and Works design for the engineering and construction manage­ ment. The village will be subject to assessment to pay for a percentage of the costs of the drain. Fleury explained that the amount of the assessment will be determined by the county drain commissioner if the pond is accepted into the county drain system. The council approved giv­ ing Consumers Energy an easement to do tree trimming for the power lines along a portion of the Paul Henry Thomapple Trail behind Geukes Market and Bradford White Corporation. The vil­ lage will receive $1,000 from Consumers Energy for the easement. Council also approved amending the code of ordi- nances to prohibit compres­ sion-release engine braking devices. The council approved a fine of $500 to $750 for a first offense and not less than $600 or more than $1000 for a second offense. The village will be posting seven “No compres­ sion braking” signs through­ out town. The council also approved paying for natural gas for the village from Volunteer Energy Services Inc. which will be a savings each month.

Students arrived by school bus just after a morning rain­ storm and were able to take part in many outside activi­ ties including a zip line, beach volleyball, archery, horseback riding, kayaking, canoeing, hiking and roast­ ing marshmallows. Inside activities included lunch and crafts. Toasting marshmallows was a popular way to stay warm, especially if the kayak or canoe tipped over and the students had forgotten to bring a change of clothes. In the afternoon, as stu­ dents were getting on the bus to return to school to go home, the rain returned. This has been a Caledonia Community Schools tradi­ tion to allow the students to meet each other in fun before their high school years begin.

The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water jHi ses health risks. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by •It calling the EPA: Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791). Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immune-compromised person such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some eld­ erly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers.

Contaminants and Sources The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material and can pick up sub­ stances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. * Contaminants that may be present in source water include: • Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife. I• Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming. • Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm ■ffi ■ rw i water runoff, and residential uses. • Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are byproducts of industrial processes and petroleum production, and Hardness Iron Sodium Lead Copper Date 9/2009 9/2009 Radiological Gross Alpha Radium 226 Radium 228 Uranium Date 10/2001 10/2001 10/2001 10/2001 ■ K In order to insure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of BJSiU® certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems.

Teacher Mike Rynearson teaches two technical classes each trimester, so 24 finalists were eligible to race June 6. Students could work on their cars individually or in pairs; most worked in pairs. “In a nutshell, students had to research aerodynam­ ics, friction and mass in order to create the fastest CO2 car possible,” said Rynearson.

Next they chose the one they thought would be the best, printed it and glued it to a precut chunk of wood. With a band saw, students cut their designs out. Before doing anything else to their Mackena Muller (left) was the winner of this year’s CO2 races. She designed her car with Michaela Eggebraaten who was not able to attend the races.

The event was started by Diane Obermeyer in 1982 using routes in Kent County. According to surveys returned by the more than 300 cyclists who participated this year the friendliness of the people in the area is a main reason why they con­ tinue to come back each year. This year. Bill Ingraham of Scituate, Mass., said, “I drive 900 miles to come here. It is one of the best 24hour events I have participat­ ed in. It is the one I choose to come back to be in.” the Others mention spaghetti dinner put on by the Middleville Rotary Club. The pies and brownies baked by Rotary family members also get praise. Other riders appreciate the pancake breakfast put on by the men's group at the Middleville United Methodist Church. Some especially like the oatmeal and the scrambled eggs. While some were disap­ pointed that the pizza ran out year. This year the volun­ teers put the orange, apple and banana peels aside. The had committee had made arrangements to take these peelings to the Village of Middleville's community arden compost heap. The committee also had recycling bins for plastic bot­ tles. The committee donated empty deposit cans to the school as well.

The pur­ pose of the revision is to account for new technology and its effect on the township and to eliminate variations between what is permitted in highwaycommercial the 1 (HC) and general commer­ cial (C2) zoning districts. According to township planner Lynee Wells, signs in the highway commercial district and in the C-2 district would be subject to the same regulations. The standard for wall signs has been revised to specify that the area of a wall sign cannot exceed 1.5 times the length of the build­ ing frontage. This replaces the former standard of 30 square feet in area. One of the thorniest prob­ lem before the commission digital has been the new < signs with moving compo­ nents. The issue has been how to balance the needs of the retail business communi- new planning act. Wells noted in her memorandum that while the plan does not need to be updated before 2013, the continued growth and development of the com­ munity and new state requirements may make beginning to review and update the plan appropriate. Among the items needed to update the plan to conform to the new requirements is a zoning plan regarding how future land use is related to ty to advertise its goods and services with concerns about distractibility for drivers and visual clutter. The standard proposed limits apply to the Cl, C2, and HC districts. The digital component of a sign is pro­ posed to be limited to 25 per­ cent of the area of the sign and cannot exceed 25 square feet. The display of text. image, or other message would be limited to two sec­ onds. However, static text or images would be required to t.he„1-?.n71p.tn• be displayed tor not less than qualify for the program for four seconds.

Some commis­ sioners also discussed the option of having the Barry Planning County over take Commission instead of having township planning. But the meeting began with descriptions of wild parties at a home in Sunrise Shores. Park Drive residents Carol Kramer and Carol Wail shared concerns about a neighbor who is renting out a home. Kramer told the commis- sion that the home is “heavi­ ly rented" and brought a cal­ endar from a website show­ ing the home being rented See COMMISSION, pg. 2 In This Issue • Separate crashes take livs of TK, Caledonia graduates • Business owners learn about recent break-ins in Caledonia • Rotary Hero Chris Noah demonstrates ‘Service above Self’ • Scot softball had seven girls honored in the conference I �Page 2/The Sun and News, Saturday, June 25, 2011 COMMISSION, continued from page for most of June, July and bers to consider the role of August. the township planning com­ She told the commission mission and review priori­ that she is concerned about ties.

Michigan State Police, Barry County Sheriff’s deputies and Thornapple Township Emergency Services responded around noon Saturday, June 18, after getting an emergency call from Basset Lake. Croff girl had been swim­ ming at a family friend’s house and had been missing for several minutes. She was found in 10 to 15 feet of water and about 35 feet from shore. Authorities said she had been underwater for 15 to 20 minutes. When located, Croff was not breathing and had no pulse. The water where she was found was very cold, and medical personnel were able to revive her while en route DeVos to Children’s Hospital in Grand Rapids. The Kent County Medical Examiner’s officer reported that Croff died Sunday, June 19, at approximately 9:05 p.m. at DeVos Children’s Hospital.

He said he had heard that Allegan C ounty was going to County be moving planning to the townships from the county. Purcell also said he believes that if the decision is made to go to county planning it would need to be presented to residents so they can understand the move. “The government that governs best is closest to the people, he said. Al Schwennesen said he has been on the planning commission for 19 years. I don t think we should throw it out,” he said of the commission. “The future of Yankee Springs is with its people.” Commissioner Cathy Strickland said she would like the township planning and zoning to continue. “But I have a concern with the zoning administrator’s office, she said. “Changing to county planning would eliminate this problem. Gordon Wells agreed with the previous speakers and told his fellow commission members he wants planning to stay in the township. Member Patrick Jansens said, “Sometimes I think this is the ordinance-creation board. I would like to see planning kept here. The county would be less local and less aware of situations.” Mike Cunningham added I have only been a member since January, and I am not fully aware of all the prob­ lems. Yankee Springs, with its tourism focus, makes it critical that decisions are made closer to home.” Fiala then discussed eco­ nomic development within the township. “Are we being helpful and are our ordinances flexible enough?” he asked. Fiala encouraged commis­ sion members to get back to him with ordinances and other areas of concern before the next planning commis­ sion meeting July 21. 0 S' MICHIGAN'S a 0 FARM BUREAU INSURANCE^ INSURANCE *9 COMPANY I 616-891-1233 r Just South of 84th St., Caledonia Jason Parks 06751059 Shaun Harding 1 Caledonia High School graduate dies in M-37 crash Michigan State Police Post in Rockford are investigating a fatal traffic crash that occurred Monday, June 20, at 100th Street and M-37 Highway at 2:53 p.m., killing Caledonia graduate and Middleville resident Tyler Moederzoon.

The suit against Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems (MERS) claim improper or illegal foreclosures. Barry County, along with many other counties in Michigan, has compiled lists of sheriff deeds showing MERS as the foreclosing entity and has forwarded them to Dailey Lawyers. The improper deeds date back to 2005. Local former homeowners may be included in the class­ action lawsuit by contacting the Dailey law firm. Barry County Register of Deeds Darla Burghdoff reported April 21 that her staff had found hundreds mortgage documents with “obvious fraudulent signa­ tures.” According to Burghdoff, some if not most, of the for- mer homeowners on the list have moved out of Barry County and possibly out of •It state. The list is available at the register of deeds office in the Barry County Courthouse or by calling 269-945-1289. She encouraged former homeowners who are listed to contact the law firm and become a part of the lawsuit. Call Dailey Law firm at 866888-7888 or email to Justin@daileylawyers.com.

Over the years, club mem­ bers have collected personal hygiene items for the veter­ ans, as well as greeting cards, stamps and gift cards which are used as prizes for games. Many clothing items, suits, jackets and undergar­ ments also have been con­ tributed for the home, which is a 720-bed facility. “It is immaculately kept, and the grounds are beauti- fully manicured,” said club vice president Pat Kreple of the veterans home. It was clear to the GFWCGun Lake members that the staff takes great pride in assuring the best care and quality of life possible for the men and women who call it home. The Gun Lake women toured the activities area, bowling alley, newly reno­ vated and updated rooms, and a photo gallery of past and current residents, the grotto, chapel and recreation areas. Kreple explained that the Kreple explained that the Grand Rapids Home for Veterans is a state-run facili­ ty.

He said the robbery at Caledonia the Rite-Aid Pharmacy is a case in point, The robbers got into Rite-Aid by breaking into a storage area where the chamber had been allowed to store sup­ plies, including new donated items for the annual toy drive, banners and other materials, The robbers cut through a Wdll 111 lilt oiMiagv w wall in the storage Uivu area to gain entrance to the pharmao cy, but were not able to get into the prescription drug area. They set off alarms when they were taking items from the open shelving. This break-in has had unintended consequences for the chamber. After the burglary was discovered, the supplies owned by the Chamber were discarded as the area was cleaned. Scott Shurlow, owner of the building, also decided to no longer allow the chamber to use the stor­ age space. Chamber director Kelly Lloyd said the chamber may have lost up to $3,000 in materials. Members of the chamber of commerce said they hope to find another storage area. them should call Lloyd, 616 690-2719 or Higgins, at 616891-2928.

While attending Grand Valley State University for a teaching degree, Kaminski went to Uganda as a volun­ teer to teach in an orphanage near Kampala. While there, he witnessed suffering and poverty, visions he could not forget. After returning home, he said he knew he had to do some­ thing and that his calling for teaching would be in Uganda. On his fourth trip to the African country, he pur­ chased 10 acres of land. He returned to West Michigan to begin spreading the word about his passion to build, not only facilities on this property but relationships with many Ugandan fami­ lies. He founded Kayongo's E » 1 Ml J ^1 J ConuNiTHiii «IB I manship. Each year, a male and female eighth grade ath­ lete from both schools are recognized for possessing scholarship, attitude, self­ lessness, coachability and athletic effort.

JB & M Mimi IV J 111 11 I * » f' Some investments are appropriate during your working years, while others are more suitable for retire­ ment. But a Roth Individual Retirement Account (IRA) can provide you with bene­ fits at virtually every stage of your life. Let's take a quick “journey" through some of these stages to see just how valuable a Roth IRA can be. To begin with, you can open a Roth IRA at any age, provided you have earned income and meet certain income limits. So if you're just starting out in your career, put as much as you can afford into your Roth IRA and gradually increase your contributions as your income rises, up to the con­ tribution limit. A Roth IRA is an excellent retirement savings vehicle because it can grow tax free and your contributions can be invested into just about any invest­ ment you choose — stocks, bonds, mutual funds, CDs and so on. Of course, when you're young, you might not be thinking much about retire­ ment. But the earlier you start contributing to a Roth IRA, the more you could end up with — and the difference could be substantial. In fact, if you started putting money into a Roth IRA at age 30, and you contributed the max­ imum amount each year until you reached 65, you would more accumulate than $766,000, assuming you are in the 25% tax bracket and you earned a 7% return, compounded annually. But, given the same assumptions, you'd end up with only about $365,000 if you waited until 40 before you started con­ tributing. It clearly pays to con­ tribute early and annually to a Roth IRA. (In 2011, the annual contribution limit is $5,000, or $6,000 if you’re 50 or older.) There are addi­ tional benefits to funding a Roth IRA, such as its flexible withdrawal options, which V/1 •5- Fi __ ■ First Rehab A* AZ '-T I & 4 PHYSICAL THERAPY c* w. * •/ /fl * ft A' *1* I 4* a />> >5 r• j X X i X9 YOUR FIRST CHOICE FOR REHAB • • • • / / ■if * / Astym www.astym.com • Pediatrics Sports Rehab • Orthopedics ML 830 Laser www.microlightcorp.com Back and Neck Pain See a Licensed Physical Therapist Every Visit MOST INSURANCES ACCEPTED CM O § 8 4525 N. M-37 Hwy., Suite B Middleville, Ml 49333 269-795-4230 are available to you even before you retire. Since you already paid taxes on the money you put into your Roth, you can withdraw your contributions at any time without paying taxes or penalties. Generally speaking, it’s certainly best to leave your Roth IRA intact for as long as possible. But if there's an emergency and you need access to the funds, you can also withdraw your Roth's earnings tax free, pro­ vided you’ve held your account at least five years and you don't start taking withdrawals until you’ve reached 59 1/2. Now, let's fast-forward to your retirement. Unlike other retirement accounts, such as a traditional IRA or a 401 (k), your Roth IRA does not require you to start taking withdrawals at age 70 1/2 — or ever. If you don't need the money, you can leave it alone, possibly to grow fur­ ther, for as long as you like. This means that you might have more money to bequeath to your children or other beneficiaries, and they won't have to pay income taxes on withdrawals from either your contributions or your earnings, provided your Roth IRA account has been open for at least five years. Keep in mind, though, that your beneficiaries will be required to take distributions based on their life expectan­ cy. As you can see, a Roth IRA can be an excellent financial “traveling compan­ ion" as you go through life. So consider adding a Roth to your portfolio — and bon voyage.

Pennock Pharmacy and Bosley Pharmacy in Hastings, Delton Family Pharmacy, Pharmacy Care in Middleville, Weick’s Pharmacy in Gun Lake, and Maple Valley Pharmacy in Nashville are all participat­ ing in the medication dispos­ al program and each has placed a yellow jug on its pharmacy counter, allowing customers to dispose of unwanted prescription and over-the-counter medica­ tions whenever they visit the store. “We want to make it con­ venient for our customers to Call anytime lor Sun & News classified ads 269-945-9554 or 1-890-879-7685 - properly dispose of their unused meds," said Bosley owner and Pharmacist Dave Jasperse. The yellow jug contains a gel that dissolves and neutralizes the medications. When the jug is full, it is picked up by a drug disposal technician and transported to a facility that meets all the of requirements Michigan Department of Environmental Quality and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for secure destruction of the medica­ tions. The Yellow Jug Old Drugs Program is a project started by the Great Lakes Clean Water Organization, located in Northern Michigan. Great Lakes Clean Water"utilizes grant funding to offer a convenient method of household drug disposal for a nominal charge to locally owned pharmacies throughout Michigan. While it is Great Lakes Clean Water's mission to protect Michigan's ground water from contamination, it is the mission of the Barry County Substance Abuse Task Force to prevent sub­ stance abuse from happening, especially among youths in the community. “Proper disposal of med- ication not only helps keep our drinking water safe but helps protect us all from medicine abuse," said Liz Lenz, SATF coordinator. “Local and national data tells us medicine abuse is a growing concern — one that can be prevented if we work together to limit access to unused medications." Regular disposal of medications is one such way to decrease and limit access. The SATF will support these six local pharmacies by covering the cost of partici­ pating in the Yellow Jug Old Drug Program for one year, which is $300 per year, or $25 per month. Partnerships with local pharmacies and groups such as the Great Lakes Clean Water Organization are vital for a healthier community. said Lenz, Working cooperatively to create a healthy, drug-free community is the goal of the SATF. Yellow Jugs for Old Drugs is a program allowing all citizens to be a part of this positive solution within Barry County, she added. •information. r For more contact a participating phar­ macy or call the Substance Abuse Task Force at 269 948-4200.

Welsh, president and CEO of HPS in Middleville will spend his last day at the company Friday, July 1. After that, he will continue working as a full-time volunteer with Hire the Heroes which helps recently wounded veterans find jobs. Welsh is a hands-on CEO. On June 21, he helped unload a truck at the HPS site in Middleville. He also has made at least 70 trips a year to meet with suppliers and members of HPS. At the reception given in his honor at HPS June 23, Welsh received a proclama­ tion signed by Gov. Rick Snyder, Lt. Gov. Brian Calley, State Rep. Mike Callton and State Sen. Rick Jones praising his service to HPS, the community and now Hire the Heroes. Welsh was bom in 1953 in Billings, Mont. He entered the United States Air Force and served from 1971 until 1975 when he was honorably discharged. He is a Vietnam veteran who also served in the Middle East. He started college in December 1975 at Montana State University, Billings and graduated with a double degree in business and com­ munications in December 1978. Further education includes many Master's level classes in management from Aquinas College, Michigan road State University, School of Executive Leadership and public administration from Northern Michigan University. Welsh moved back to Michigan in 1979 and worked for a consulting firm in hospital purchasing which is now called supply chain management. He started at Hospital Purchasing Service in September 1980 as assis­ tant director in charge of all special advisory committees, pharmacists, food service, laboratory', engineering, and respiratory therapy. He was promoted to vice president agreements in the late 1980s and took over contract negotiations for all groups. Welsh added long term care at nursing homes and public schools to the committees and started working in many new mar­ kets. During the same time he was an adjunct professor for Ferris State University’s School of Health Science, teaching numerous classes in health care materials man­ agement which is now called supply chain management. After a national search in 1998, Welsh was chosen to succeed Dean Stuart, former CEO and 33-year veteran of the industry. Welsh has guided HPS through continued growth and new relationship with a national contracting partner MedAssets. Welsh has seen many changes since he began at what was tion called Purchasing Hospital Services. The face of the hospital market has changed in Michigan. In 1980 there were 237 hospitals in the state. In 2011 there are 141,” he said. He encourages local resi­ dents to support Pennock Hospital. “Don’t mess up a good thing. It is a huge benefit to the community and one of only 40 locally managed hospitals,” said Welsh. HPS has moved into other markets. It has 3,000 mem­ bers from non-profit service including organizations schools., Head Start,, Native ------ ---American organizations and Goodwill, including the largest one in Tampa, Fla. Welsh is proud that HPS has set standards and saved dollars and lives. He notes that HPS serves organiza­ tions along the 1-75 corridor which is its core area. He added that HPS now negotiates for 4,800 schools not the eight when he first started with the firm in 1980. He praised the staff at HPS for being so giving to the community. On the United Way Day of Caring each year the staff works with Green Gables Haven. The staff donates many per­ sonal care items to Green Gables through the year, as well. The staff also donates items, as much as 1,000 pounds, to the food pantry at Middleville United Methodist Church and also assists the UAW 1002 food pantry. He stressed that HPS has a reputation for ethics and treating bidders fairly. The company continues to work with manufacturers on costs and finding that “happy medium” of company profit and what HPS members can afford. He praised the team at HPS. He said there were employees when he started and now almost 40. He is being succeeded by Tom LaPres who takes over as CEO July 2. Welsh said he is looking forward to his work with Hire Heroes USA. This group has been endorsed by the USO and the United States Chamber of Commerce. Welsh explained that counselors from Hire Heroes go to Army and Marine camps and work with wounded veterans for two to three days and have classes on resume writing and inter­ view techniques. One thing the counselors do is help the veteran “unjar- HPS president and CEO Jerry Welsh holds the proclamation he was given, signed by Gov.

Riders and their crews began arriving at the I homapplc Kellogg Middle School on Friday afternoon to set up their tents and sign in. As always the Kalamazoo Pipe Band provided stirring music both before the start at 8 a.m. from the middle school and from the bridge over the Thornapple River as the cyclists rode down Middleville's Main Street on Saturday morning. Organizers Pete and Cathy Steve say that 325 riders signed up for the 2011 National 24-Hour Challenge in Middleville this year. Riders came from all over the US and from Ontario, Canada. f“The weather was almost ideal, making for longer ridesi all around,” said Pete Steve, “In addition the new pavemenl and grading on the cor­ ner of Finkbeiner and Bender roads were greatly appreciatcd by our night loop riders.” The course was clear as the National 24 Hour Challenge ended at 8 a.m. on Father’s Day, June 19.

This year the National 24 Hour Challenge committee circulated a survey which asked riders, crew members and the more than 150 volunteers working on the event what was best about the Challenge. In answer to the question. Which parts of the Challenge did you like best? A crew person wrote: “The town people providing food S3 , and ice (and volunteering!) The use of the Middle School - inside and out. The feeling of safety, since the ride is in small towns and countryside, countryside rather than a big city. The air conditioning in the school cafeteria.” A rider wrote, “I drive 900 miles to ride this event - I do it because it is the best 24 in the country.” Another Another wrote, wrote, “1 like everything, but especially the pat on the back with my name mentioned, saying Good Job!" at Checkpoint 4. At 4 a.m., being exhausted, that sure is nice! Another rider praised the United Methodist Church providing a food concession stand in the middle school cafeteria until really early in the morning,. Earlier in the day the most popular items were bags of ice. The organizers are looking forward to celebrating the event's 30th anniversary on June 16-17, 2012.

In addition, she played solid defense at pitcher and short­ stop with a .938 fielding per­ centage in conference play.

Those selected to the first team were senior Alicia Lancer (outfielder), junior Kim Burleson (infielder) and freshmen Sarah Austin (infielder), Andrea Gerloski (catcher) and Morgan Swift (pitcher). Honorable Mention selec­ tions were junior Emily Kimes (outfielder) and fresh­ man Whitney Denton (pitch­ er). “I was very happy to have seven players name to the OK Gold’s All-Conference team this year, a record num­ ber since I have been coach­ ing,” said Caledonia head coach Tom Kaechele. “We’re very young in terms of grade level, but we played like veterans. I knew going in we had a special group of young ladies and our team chemistry has been great throughout the season. With only two seniors leaving, Caledonia softball has an exciting future ahead of it. Having four freshman named as all-conference athletes this year is a strong indica­ tion of that.” From Our Readers Local Citizens Speak Out On Issues Garage Sale HUGE GARAGE SALE: 3 family sale on Paradise Court on Barlow Lake off the speeders and the ever- Payne Lake Road, June 30thincreasing number of serious July 1st, 9am-5pm. accidents we are experienc­ ing.

The existing State Police post in Hastings will be closed due to budget cuts and will be consolidated with the Wayland post. I suggest that Caledonia Township leadership explore the possibility of establishing the sub-station in Caledonia, One, we know considerable township/ empty village space is available, While I am not sure of the amount of space needed, there may be adequate space at the new fire station, Acquiring a State Police presence in Caledonia would be a big plus since we have minimal police presence now.

He handied a full misdemeanor and felony caseload, ranging from domestic violence to a two-defendant murder case. “Kent County, at that time, had a number of people running for election, and they were short-staffed.” recalled Schipper. “They had four or five people at least who were running for one thing or another. So, Chiara asked me if 1 would go over there for six to 12 months and help them out, where I would get more trial experi­ ence, more quickly, than I would even et in federal court. She wanted me to develop a program to bring new attorneys over there. I was there for eight months. I was able to work in front of all the judges in Kent County, district and circuit courts, tried a bunch of cases. It was really great experience.” In 2005, Schipper won the Case of the Year Award when he successfully tried the longest and largest case in office history — a fiveweek, 100-witness, $20 mil­ lion Ponzi scheme. Other awards he has received include an IRS regional and national award; U.S. Air Force award; USDA regional and national award; letters of commendation from the U.S. USDA. Social Army, USDA, Security and the U.S. Postal Service; Service; aa Housing and Urban Development award; a USDA Food Stamp award; and a personal letter of thanks for U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno for the resolution of a complex tax case. In Barry County, Schipper served as chair of the Thomapple Kellogg Schools bond campaigns in 1996 and 2002. He has served on the Township Thornapple •j Zoning Board of Appeals and the Compensation Evaluation Committee. He also served on the Barry County YMCA Board of Directors from 1994 to 1996 and has been a Barn County Court-Appointed Special Advocates for Kids support­ er since 2000. He is the TK High School football strength and nutri­ •tion coach and Hastings agegroup sw im coach. Schipper was the TK Middle School and youth football coach and director from 2004 to 2009. Schipper is a business and law speaker at Hope College. He also speaks at Thomapple Kellogg. Rockford. Forest Hills Central and Godwin Schools. Schipper has taught the at the Bimaadiziwin Alternative High School in Grand Rapids, as well as the Kent County Mock Trial and Young Lawyers Association, “For a long time. I have wanted to be a judge — for differing reasons as I have matured — but I really think that it could be a great way, if it's done right, to serve the said Schipper. people, “And, growing up in Barry County, it’s kind of small­ town. and I like it that way. I think you can have more impact. I think a judge here in Barry County can have significantly • more impact than a judge in Kent County — not that you see that many more people in front of you, but because the people know who you are. Almost every­ one in Barry County knows who Judge Holman is. whether they were in front of him or not, they know some­ thing about him. His reputa­ »!• tion means something. So, % after seeing all the judges in state court and having a lot of contact with them, I thought, ‘This is something I would like to do down the road. I think I could do a good job at it.’ “I would never have run against Judge Holman or Judge Fisher because they were dynamite. For one, why run against a judge that’s j % doing a good job ? Number two, they were probably unbeatable. But. I knew Judge Holman would not be able to run again because of his age. So. 1 was fully pre­ pared to run in 2012. “In the fall of 2010. I had my 20 years in at the U.S. Attorney’s Office, and my w ife and I decided it might be a good time for a change. I thought about staying for another two years, but given the nature of the job, it w ould have been difficult to run a campaign and keep doing my job. So. it w as perfect timing. I have a friend who had been pursuing me to work for her firm. She has one of the largest health care consulting firms in the country, based out of Troy. They do primari­ ly health care consulting for home health care agencies, which my wife worked in for about 20 years, so I had some knowledge of that.” Schipper said he told the woman he would retire from the U.S. Attorney's Office and go to work for her, know ing it was just tempo­ rary. She said she really only needed him to educate her company and young attor­ neys to get them up to speed on the new state and federal laws. He worked at her firm on various projects until decided to pursue the district court appointment. “I did not know Judge Doherty before this, but 1 have gotten to know him over the last few months. What a classy, dynamite guy. When I look at someone, I don’t look at what they do, I look at if they are a good per­ son. I am glad he is the chief judge. He has a great tem­ perament and he is openminded. He's progressive. He doesn’t want to mess up what has already happened, but he is also very open and wants to take it to the next level. He wants to take what Judge Fisher and Judge Holman have developed, and See JUDGE, pg. 8 % II ii! 1 1 ** "y *5 !*** it $ . x * Ml x* Bf * Il ■ I M* 14$ r CT iSfl 7 L * Zu1 11 (r Ki ZL z r> 44 Insurance?

JUDGE, continued from page not rest on it. That's great. I am excited to work with him” As far as drug court, Schipper said he ran some­ thing similar while at the U.S. Attorney's Office, but it was not limited to drug and alcohol offenders; it was a more intense probation called supervised release. "We would take the more serious offenders/ offenders,"’ said Schipper. "They would come into court once a month with support and family. The judge would talk one-on-one, more like a mentor, we did Can 945-9554 i any time for classified ads more work to get them jobs or keep the jobs they already had. Judge Fisher was incredibly successful with his program in circuit court. Schipper said he is a pro­ ponent of the drug court pro­ gram here in district court. "I think it is more valuable in district court than circuit court because district court deals with younger people, and a lot of first-time offenders. " he said. "So, the real goal, I think, is to stop crime, to stop recidivism. It's not to lock people up. There are certain people who need to be locked up — some for a long time if it's bad enough. But, the goal is not to lock people away; the goal is to help them fix whatever behavior or habit they have so that they don't do it again.

Once you get to circuit court, and it's a felony, it's pretty seri­ ous. “We can't fix someone if they don’t want help, but we have to offer it and offer it and offer it, particularly in Barry County," he said. "We have a lot of things which cause people to drink and use drugs — we re a poor coun­ ty, we have a lot of unem­ ployment, a lot of people living paycheck to paycheck. Those are huge stressors. As a court, we have to under­ stand that and work with the people. We need to punish them when necessary, but our real job is to try and help them out." Schipper said he is look­ ing forward to taking the bench Tuesday, July 5. "I want people to walk out of my courtroom and say, ‘I N got a fair shake, and I don't hate the system.' I promise to work hard and do my best," he said. "I would like to keep things, for the near future, as consistent as possible. I have been working with staff to learn about recent sentenc­ ing, probation, fines and costs. As a practicing attor­ ney, I know one of the most important things for me is knowing what the judge is likely to do. As 1 grow and learn, I may modify some things.” Summer is the most dan­ gerous time of year for teen drivers, with nearly twice as many teens dying on America's roads each day compared to the rest of the year. But a new' online pro­ gram helps parents keep their teens safe as they gain expe­ rience driving without adult supervision. Checkpoints UK The Program, presented by the University of Michigan Research Transportation Michigan and Institute Department of Community Health, is a free, interactive online resource (http://saferthat drivingforteens.org) establishes rules in a person­ al written agreement to ensures parents that their teens are clear about where and when they can drive. "Motor vehicle crashes kill more teens than any other cause," cause,” said C. * N Raymond Bingham, a research professor who heads up UMTRI's Young Driver Behavior and Injury Prevention Group. "The main reason driving is more dangerous for teens is that they are young and not expe­ rienced at driving unsuper­ vised. Becoming a safe driv­ er takes years of experience. "Many parents struggle with wanting to let their teens start driving unsuper­ vised and knowing how to keep their teens as safe as possible when they are not in the vehicle with them," he added. "By being actively involved in their teens' driv­ ing, parents help increase their teens’ safely.” Checkpoints gives parents facts about teen driving safe­ ty. shows them things they can do to make their teens' driving safer and gives them an interactive parent-teen driving agreement that helps them set clear guidelines for driving. The program highlights four driving situations that research has shown to be especially risky for teen driv­ ers: driving with teen passen­ gers, at night, in bad weather conditions, and at high speeds. The agreement also allows parents to establish rules for teens to follow in all driving situations: • Never play around with passengers, talk on a cell phone, mess with the radio or do anything else distracting. • Always call home if for any reason it is not safe to drive or ride with someone else. • Always call home if going to be late. • Always wear a safety belt and require all passen­ gers to wear safety belts. • Obey all traffic laws. • Never speed, tailgate or cut off others. • Never drive after taking any drugs or alcohol or ride with a driver who has taken drugs or alcohol. • Always tell a parent about destination. The agreement also allows families to establish common rules for parents, such as: • Provide safe ride home when asked (no questions at that time). • Consider Consider necessary exceptions to driving privi­ leges. • • • Apply rules fairly and consistently. • Point out and discuss safe and dangerous driving situations and practices. • Be a good role model behind the wheel. Checkpoints, created by Bruce Simons-Morton of the National Institutes of Health, has been tested in several research studies. It is avail­ able to parents for free through a grant to the University iot Michigan Transportationi Research Institute and the Michigan Department of Community Health from the National Center for Injury Prevention Control, part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The program has been tested by parents and teens in several states, including Michigan, and has been shown to help parents create and use a parent/teen driving agreement during the first months their teens had licenses. Those teens received fewer tickets and reported less risky driving behaviors (such as speeding, tailgating, turning fast, tumin unsafe lane changes, cutting in front of other vehicles, going through yellow or red lights).

On July 4, we shoot fire­ works, attend picnics, watch parades and otherwise cele­ brate our nation's independ­ ence and the many freedoms we enjoy. But as you go through life, you'll find out how important it is to work towards another type of freefinancial freedom. dom That’s why you need to put strategies in place to help you work towards your own Financial Independence Day. And there’s no way to “sugar-coat” this task, because it will be challenging. In recent years, a combination of factors — including depressed hous­ ing prices, rising health care costs, frozen or eliminated pen­ sion plans and the financial market plunge of 2008 and early 2009 — has made it more difficult for many of us to accu mulate the resources we’ll need to enjoy the retirement lifestyle we've envisioned. In fact, the average American family faces a 37 percent shortfall in the income they will need in retire­ ment, according to a recent report by consulting firm McKinsey & Company. But now that we've gotten the “bad" stuff out of the way, let's turn to the good news: You can do a great deal to work towards financial freedom dur­ ing your retirement years. Here are some suggestions that can help: • Save and invest more. Obviously, the younger you are, the greater the benefit you'll get by increasing your savings and investments. But whatever your age, you'll find that it pays to save and invest more. During difficult econom­ ic times, of course, it's not always easy to boost your sav­ ings and investments, but try to find ways that are as “automat­ ic” as possible. For example, Ct whenever you get a raise, increase your 401 (k) contribu­ tions, which come directly from your paycheck. And whenever you get a “windfall,” such as a tax refund, try to use part of it for your IRA or another investment account. •- Rebalance KPhalnncp your vnur portfolio. 1 It’s always a good idea to peri­ odically rebalance your invest- ments to make sure they are still aligned with your goals and risk tolerance. But it's especially important to rebal­ ance as you get older and you near retirement. At this stage, you'll want to decrease the volatility in your portfolio and lock in what gains you've achieved, so you may want to move some (but certainly not all) of your more aggressive investments into less volatile ones. • Cut down on debts. It's eas­ ier said than done, but anything you can do to reduce your debt load will free up money to invest for your retirement. Work diligently to pay off whatever debts you can and examine your lifestyle to find areas in which you can reduce spending. • Consider working part- time during retirement. Many Americans are now living longer and enjoying happy, healthy retirements. In fact, the concept of “retirement" has changed so that it now includes any number of activities including part-time work in a completely different area from one's previous career. If you are willing to do even a little part-time work during your retirement years, you can great­ ly reduce the financial pres­ sures you may face during this time of your life. The 4th of July comes and goes quickly. So put strategies in place now to help you work towards your own Financial Independence Day.

So it’s critical you use sound, common- sense practices like not leav­ ing your pet in a car. Even if you park it in the shade and have the windows partially open, it only takes a few minutes for temperatures inside the car to reach deadly levels.” While all dogs and cats are at risk, older or very young pets, overweight pets, those with heavy coats and short­ nosed dogs may need extra care. Owners need to limit exercise to early morning and evening on hot and humid days since asphalt becomes very hot; keep the •It water bowl refreshed and be sure a cool environment is always nearby. If a pet is panting exces­ sively or has difficulty breathing, drools excessively or uncharacteristically, has difficulty walking, appears weak or in a stupor, immedi­ ately put the pet in the shade or air conditioning and apply cool — not cold — water to reduce the animal’s core »x« body temperature. Get help from a licensed veterinarian as soon as possible. Following are some other simple summer pet safety tips: • Beware of toxic agents * such as plant food, insecti­ cides, fertilizer, coolants, cit­ ronella candles, oil products and insect coils that may be around the home and yard. • The heat, loud noise and confusion of crowded sum­ mer events can stress pets and isn’t an enjoyable expe­ rience for them. Even unlit fireworks can be an issue since many contain toxic compounds such as potassi ­ •It um nitrate, copper, chlorates and arsenic. • Make sure pets always wear a collar or identification such as a tag or microchip. • Maintain recommended -■ ■ S-x^1-j- • • •- -^9 I > S’-* •V- • • W^Z.. -J ■ a F B * X• a ,W£ I ' v - ► • 'X I > - rr •— . - • W W. - - — ?• I F4 **| -4 1 i « / V —— 3? i? ■ -X ‘________ >r.- i f ■4 r- 9 F - 1 I 1 * J ■■ The five and under girls race down the track during their 50-meter race at the Fun Run put on by the Caledonia varsity girls’ cross country team Saturday morning.

A Symptoms of PTSD may be delayed for some veterans I I’ I ’ /■ Jason Allen, director of Michigan's Veterans Affairs Directorate, encourages vet­ erans who have served in combat during any U.S. mis­ sion to consider the possibil­ ity that they may be affected with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. PTSD is an anxiety disorder that can occur fol­ lowing the experience of wit­ nessing a traumatic event. “Most soldiers returning from combat operations have an opportunity to talk at length with demobilization specialists who help them recognize PTSD symptoms and deal with the challenges of reintegrating into society,” said Allen. “But some do not experience symptoms for months or years later when they are far less likely to con­ nect their feelings and actions with their deploy­ ment. It's these men and women we hope to reach out to.” The symptoms of PTSD typically occur in three stages. The first set of symp­ toms involves reliving the trauma in some way when something triggers a traumat- ic memory. The second set involves either staying away from places or people who are reminders of the trauma, and the third set of symptoms includes feelings of irritabili­ ty, paranoia or being startled easily. “We want veterans to know that PTSD can be treat­ ed with therapy and medica­ tions, if necessary,” he added. “Even long-term symptoms can be lessened or corrected, but the first step is to seek treatment.” For more information, see the National Center for PTSD website at www.ptsd.va.gov to learn about symptoms and treat­ ment options or call 800273-8255 if the situation is urgent. To contact the state Veterans Affairs Directorate, call 517-335-6523, send an email to hessh@michigan.gov, or the visit Michigan Department of Military and Veterans Affairs website at www. mi ch igan.gov/veter­ ans. 4^ ■ Z J L#!

The prior pre­ vented planting deadline, 15 days after the crop’s final planting date, will be in affect for the 2012 crop year. When filing a notice of loss, producers must estab­ lish they made efforts to plant and were prevented from doing so by a natural disaster. The county commit­ tee may require proof of intent to plant by requesting documentation field of preparation, seed purchases and other information. Prior year's planting history will no longer be considered when making a determina­ tion for prevented planted acreage claims.

With tear filled eyes we watched you suffer and fade away. Although we loved you deeply, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, a beautiful smile put to rest. God broke our hearts to prove he only takes the best. It's lonesome here without you; we miss you so each day. Our lives aren't the same since you went away. When days are sad and lonely and everything goes wrong, we seem to hear you whisper, "Cheer up and carry on." Each time we see your picture you seem to smile and say, "Don't cry, I'm in God's keeping. We'll meet again some day." We miss you!!

Stonebumer said his com- munity previously had an agreement with three other townships for a shared sta­ tion. When the agreement proved to be too costly, Prairieville withdrew and its residents continued to use the station on a non-resident fee basis.

He also suggested using dif­ ferent stickers to distinguish between Prairieville and Orangeville residents Ritchie said she issues the stickers when the tax bills are mailed out.

Rook said he had only one propos al for removing the brush and trees tree that have encroached over the south property line Much of the discussion concerned where the line ts. Dan Boulter said his father has property abut­ ting the line and he was becoming distressed by the amount of trash being dumped on his property by people removing old grave decorations. He said the cemetery property has never been maintained to the line. Ritchie said part of the problem has been created by the township s lenient policy on grave decorations. She also asked Rook if the board needed toI issue a request for proposal or at least ask for quotes for the clean-up. Rook said he had talked to someone locally but had not made a formal request. The board agreed to delay action on the matter until the August board meeting. Boulter reported that at this point in the year the department has responded to 125 calls.

Ecker, who was adopted from the hospital shortly after birth and raised as an only child, recently learned she had. not one. but seven siblings. Ecker's birth parents had three sons, now deceased: Bob, Don and Gerald Martin, They also had four daughters Ecker: besides Carol, Marilyn, Betty and Doris. Ecker said the road to dis­ covering her family began last July when she went to probate court to get information about her adoption. She didn't receive any information from the court until February, Before she started searching for more information. Ecker and her daughter set Sunday, July 3, as the date for their summer get-together. Then working with a friend, who found information in two days, Ecker was able to contact her sister, Carol Axe, via email. The guest list grew when all of the sisters. who are widows S “ In memory of except for Doris, decided to drive to Michigan to meet during the get-together. My grand and greatgrandchildren, who were here for the picnic, loved it.” said Ecker. “My sisters are really down to earth. They pitched in while they were here.” It is still pretty new to all of us. The children have new aunts, and wc have 40 cousins and 70 second cousins,” said Freds. Ecker said one day she and« her sister Marilyn talked on the telephone for 90 minutes, They share interests in knitting, crocheting and Swedish weaving. They are planning to get together in Florida this winter. Three of the sisters already either live in Florida or have winter homes there; Betty lives in Kansas. Ecker learned that one of her sisters had lived in the Grand Rapids area and was a teacher there for seven years, ♦ July 11. 1972 -July 6,2001 ♦ to* I#** 1 i .1 ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ r 1 269 945-9554 or 1 800 8707085 Mi It ,..i * BUY ONE GET ONE ♦ ♦ ♦I ♦F ♦■ HEIDI’S FARM STAND Call anytime lor Sun & News classified ads ng J1 ♦ ♦ J Ecker herself was a school employee.

If you pur­ chase a bond that pays, say, a 4% interest rate, and the mar­ ket rate goes up to 5%, then the value of your bond •a will drop because no one will be willing to pay you the full price for it when newer, higher-yielding bonds are available. Your response — You can combat, or even ignore, interest rate risk by holding your bonds until they mature. By doing so, you’ll get your full principal back, provided the .issuer doesn't default, and you'll continue to receive regular interest pay­ ments unless the bonds are “called,” or repurchased by the issuer. (You can help protect against this by pur­ chasing bonds that have some degree of “call protec­ tion” and by owning bonds with different maturities.) Losing purchasing power — This risk largely applies to fixed-rate investments such as certificates of deposit (CDs). To illustrate: If you purchase a CD that pays 2%, and the inflation rate is 3%, you are actually losing pur­ chasing power. * \ & ■> ^91 Know your investment risks — and how to respond h i- • V 1 Furnished by Drew McFadden of Edward Jones and Co. • (616) 891-1173 When you invest, you take some risks. While you can't totally avoid these risks, you can take steps to help reduce their impact and increase your comfort level. And the more comfortable you are with your investments, the easier it will be to follow a long-term strategy that can help you meet your goals. Let’s look at the most common types of risk related to investing, along with some suggestions on helping to reduce these risks: Losing principal — This type of risk is most closely associated with investing. For example, when you pur­ chase a stock, you know that its value could go up or down. If it drops below your purchase price, and you then sell your shares, you will lose some of your principal. Your response — You can't eliminate the risk of losing principal, but by owning a mix of stocks, bonds, gov­ ernment securities and other types of investments, you can help reduce the impact of volatility on your portfolio. Keep in mind, though, that diversification, by itself, can't guarantee a profit or protect against loss.

Calley signs bill extending laws he helped write as a state representative Laws helping homeowners avoid foreclosure that were set to expire at the beginning of this week have been extended by another six months. Senate Bill 398, sponsored by state Sen. Mike Green, extends laws that established procedures for homeowners who are behind on their mortgage payments to work with their lenders to modify loan agreements and avoid foreclosure. The laws, which included other protections such as requiring lenders to mail written notices warning B'SHYSKP I I • Complete Collision Service • Dupont Refinish System • State & I CAR Certified Techs • Loaners Available • 100% Guarantee On Repairs • Frame Repairs • Glass Repair • Spray On Bedliners • Complete Vehicle Detail 06750998 616-891-0150 Ed Pawloski Jr.Owner 110 Johnson St., Caledonia • www.edsbody.com of foreclosure, were set to expire Tuesday, July 5. Since Gov. Rick Snyder was traveling out of state Friday to attend a wedding, Lt. Gov. Brian Calley signed the bill extending the protec­ tions against foreclosure. The Michigan Constitution gives authority to the lieu­ tenant governor when the governor is out of state. . This is the first bill Calley has signed into law, but it is not his first time working on the issue. In 2009, as a state representative for Barry and Ionia counties, Calley helped write the original legislation when he was serving on the House Banking and Financial Services Committee and on the joint conference committee that wrote the final draft. “Extending these protec­ tions is in everybody’s best interest," Calley said in a press release issued Friday. “Most importantly, ' these protections give families who are at risk of foreclosure the opportunity to save their home, but they also help pre­ vent vacant houses from sit­ ting empty and bringing down property values throughout the neighbor­ hood.” He also noted that in this environment, banks often lose money on foreclosed properties that go unsold, harming the state’s overall economy. With this extension, pro­ tections against home fore­ closure are extended until Jan. 5, 2012. $ IL 1 Duck race winner announced IShelley Rabbai, president of the Caledonia Rotary Club, announced that the Houser family was the winner Of the June 25 duck race.

In comparison, eight people died in traffic crashes during the 2010 July 4 holiday weekend. One of the four victims was known to have not used restraints, and alcohol was a known factor in one of the four fatal crashes. “These numbers are prelim­ inary and only reflect those fatalities reported to the MSP as of 9:30 a.m. today," said Capt. Hamid J. Love, com­ mander of the MSP Traffic Safety Division. “The prelimi­ nary numbers show a decrease in fatalities from this same holiday period last year; how­ ever, the MSP continues to urge motorists to not drink and drive, to always use proper restraints and to drive safely."

Staff Writer Supervisor Al McCrumb, during his report at the Yankee Springs Township Board of Trustees meeting Thursday, Sept. 8, men­ tioned the special committee appointed to consider alter­ natives or renovations to the present facility at 284 N.

(Currently, people wanting to vote at the township hall, which is Precinct 1, or the Payne Lake Road fire sta­ tion, Precinct 2, often are forced to park on the road) Both alternatives carried what many viewed as unac­ ceptably high costs, ranging from $380,000 to $480,000. The board emitted a collec­ tive gulp. Township Treasurer John Jerkatis had suggested using part of the meeting room for additional office space. His suggestion ultimately foundered on changes to election laws; more space to ensure voter privacy is now required by new technology, the requirement that there be one voting area for every 300 voters in a precinct, and that the room be arranged so that voters come in, proceed through the voting process, and exit the voting area with­ out passing behind the elec­ tion inspectors.

From the approximately 16,000 semifinalists, about 15,000 are expected to advance to the finalist level, and in February they will be notified of this designation. All National Merit Scholarship winners will be selected from this finalist group. Merit Scholar designees are selected on the basis of their skills, and accomplishments, potential for success in rig­ orous college studies. About 90 percent of the semifinalists are expected to attain finalist standing, and more than half of the final­ ists will win a National Merit Scholarship, earning the Merit Scholar title. To become a finalist, a semifi­ nalist must have an out­ standing academic record throughout high school, be endorsed and recommended by the high school princi­ pal, and earn SAT scores that confirm the student's earlier performance on the qualifying test. The semifinalist and a high school official must submit a detailed scholarship appli­ cation, which includes the See SCHOLARSHIP, pg. 2 requires a voter who also has business at the office to exit the building and go around to an entrance into the offices on the north side of the building. Shane Vandenberg, a resi­ dent and local building con­ tractor, claimed that the Fleis and Vandenbrink proposals were excessive, both in scope and cost. He main­ tained that the needed reno­ vations could be accom­ plished for approximately $230,000. McCrumb, in early sum­ mer, drew up a sketch and indicated that as far as he was concerned, the original proposals were dead in the water. When the sketch was officially presented in July, board members raised issues and in response to those McCrumb questions, appointed a special commit­ tee to evaluate the Fleis and Vandenbrink proposals and his suggested revision. The committee met Aug. 4 and voted 5-2 to recommend to the board that it accept the second proposal from Fleis and Vandenbrink. Opposing the recommendation were McCrumb and Vandenberg. Jerkatis, at the Aug. 11 board meeting, pressed for a handicapped-accessible rest­ room but not located on the office side of the building. His preference was to place the bathroom off the community hall in an area currently used for storage. A resident noted that none of the doors to the building could be operated without assistance by a person in a wheelchair. Janice Township Clerk Lippert moved to make the facility ADA-complaint with a restroom and entrance doors and for additional parking at the hall and the Payne Lake Road fire station; bidding documents would be taken from the Fleis • and Vandenbrink proposals. The motion passed unanimously. Lippert also noted that $50,000 was in the budget for maintenance and could be used to fund the improve­ ments. A meeting Aug. 25 was held by McCrumb, Jerkatis, Deputy Clerk Marge Vandermeyden and represen­ tatives from Fleis and Vandenbrink, Don DeVries and Bob Czrerew. At that informal meeting, Fleis and Vandenbrink was instructed to prepare bid documents and specifications for enlarging the parking lot at the fire sta­ tion to provide space for 50 additional personal vehicles without hindering fire truck access and egress; enlarging the parking area at the town­ ship hall to provide approxi­ mately 30 to 35 additional spaces, providing push-but­ ton doors at the fire station and the township hall, an accessible restroom in the community hall, and a mop sink in the community hall, which is a code requirement. At this point, while issues of office space, revamping of the electrical system and security remain unresolved, the highest priority items — ADA compliance and provi­ sions for adequate parking — appear to be on the way to resolution before the spring of 2012.

She also kept busy sewing, knitting, playing guitar, singing, and volunteering at Caledonia Schools and Peace Reformed Church.

She then graduated from Grand Valley State University and began teach­ ing seventh grade English and social studies at Caledonia Middle School. Teaching and being around students fueled her energy for life, she said. “Her compassion and will­ ingness to go the extra mile % for her students was evident, both in and out of the class­ room,” said her daughter and current Caledonia teacher Becky Bravata. “1 can't count how many times she would take kids home with her. out to coffee, or just give them that extra bit if attention.

Former undersheriff appointed constable in Yankee Springs Twp. by Fran Fa verman Staff Writer At a special meeting Aug. 16, members of the Yankee Springs Township Board of Trustees interviewed five people who had applied for the elected post of constable. The new constable will serve the remainder of the term vacated by Charles Misak, effective July 31. Lippert Clerk Janice opened the discussion saying that the post requires bond­ ing and that costs of bonding are paid by the township. Duties of the constable are to service notices or warrants as directed by the zoning administrator or the township attorney, to preserve the peace at township board meetings, and to conduct liquor inspections as required by state law. All five candidates were scheduled for 15-minute ; interviews; additional time was also allowed for board members to ask questions of the candidates. The five candidates were Kathy Schwennesen, Ron Hellman, Jamey Mousseau. Bill Medendorp and James Orr.

The shop allows her to share her tal­ ents of knitting and crochet­ ing by teaching community education classes at her store. It also provides a place to gather and learn; Stauffer has taught young children up to seniors in their 90s how to knit and crochet. “The Caledonia Education Foundation is pleased to honor Henny Stauffer as our Honored Alumnus 2011 for giving of herself and for making a difference not only in the Caledonia Community but also far reaching interna­ tionally to Africa,” said Denise Blunk, CEF execu­ tive director. “She is a woman full of life, and that shows in her passion for peopie.” Residents and former stu­ dents wishing to honor Stauffer are invited to attend Foundation Fest or make a contribution in Stauffer s name to the Caledonia Education Foundation, P.O.

After extensive discus­ sion, Trustee Mary' Cook moved to appoint James Onas constable; Supervisor Al McCrumb supported the motion, and it passed unanimously. Orr is a retired undersher­ iff of Barry County; he has done liquor inspections for the entire county and became interested in law enforce­ ment, he said, when he could not go to college to become a conservation officer. Following service in the United States Air Force, he went to work for the Barry County Sheriff s Department. He said he does not not winter winter in in Florida Florida and and expects expects to to be be available available for for attendance at required meet meet-­ ing of the township board, the planning commission. and the zoning board of appeals. He will run for the 1 sition in 2012. Two additional items of business also were transacted at the special meeting. The first concerned a decision by the board to seek competitive bidding on additional fenc­ ing needed to preserve the special coatings on the multi­ sports courts at the township park. A letter from Fleis and township VandenBrink, engineers, indicated that it the additional fencing were put out for bid. the cost prob­ ably would not be covered by the grant money. Board members voted to continue allowing the project to move forward while also putting the fencing out for competi­ tive bidding; the motion was approved 4-1, with Lippert dissenting. The second item was a request from Terry Cole to purchase an additional cemetery lot. The limit on owner­ ship by one family is four lots; Cole has four lots but he wanted the fifth lot tor a niece who recently died. The board agreed to waive the requirement and allow Cole to purchase the fifth lot.

And while a whole month may seem like a long time to focus on life insurance, it’s actually a good opportunity for you to realize the impor­ tant role that life insurance can play in your life. Unfortunately, many peo­ ple don't have sufficient insurance. A recent report by LIMRA, a research and con­ sulting group, shows the fol­ lowing: • Individual life insurance ownership among . U.S. households has reached a 50year low. • Three out of every 10 households (about 35 million households) currently have no life insurance an increase of 11 million house­ holds since 2004. These figures help explain why the nonprofit LIFE Foundation coordinates Life Insurance Awareness Month each September. Simply put, many people don’t realize how many ways that life insurance can help them and their families. To be specific, life insur­ ance can: • Educate your children — If you were to die premature­ ly, your life insurance policy can pay, in whole or in part, your children’s college edu­ cation. And if you live a nor­ mal life span, life insurance can help to pay for your grandchildren’s college edu­ cation. • Pay offyour mortgage — If you have sufficient life insurance, the death benefit can pay off your mortgage, so your family wouldn't have to move. • Help pay for your spouse's retirement — Your spouse might be counting on sharing some of the money you eventually withdraw from your retirement plans — such as your 401(k) and IRA — to help with his or her own retirement. If you were to die early, your as spouse, beneficiary, would receive the existing account balances in these plans, but your future contri­ butions would, of course, die with you. • Help pay for your retire­ ment — You don’t even have to die to reap some benefits from your life insurance.

And through policy loans or withdrawals, you can tap into this cash to help you pay some of your expenses dur­ ing retirement. • Help you leave the lega­ cy you desire — Life insurance can be an important part of your estate plans. To use life insurance properly for estate planning, consult with your legal advisor. Of course, one big ques­ tion that you may ask is this: How much life insurance do I need? You've probably seen those estimates that say you should have insurance that's worth a certain num­ ber of years times your annu­ al income. While this might not be a bad estimate, it's not a hard-and-fast rule for every single individual. The amount of insurance you need will depend on a variety of factors: your age, income, size of family, value of home, employment situation and so on. Your financial advisor can help you deter­ mine the level of insurance that’s appropriate for your needs. Now that you’ve seen how life insurance may help you over the years, and you’ve got a sense of how to deter­ mine the amount of coverage you need, you can appreciate the message behind Life Insurance Awareness Month — so take it to heart and make sure you've got the proper insurance plan in place.

During the altercation, the suspect's father punched the deputy in the face. All three members of the family were assaulting the deputy when one of them attempted to dis­ arm her. The deputy then used a Taser, a five-second burst of 50,000 volts, to sub­ due the father. While attempting to handcuff the father, the deputy was assaulted again and struck in the ribs several times. Prior to the arrival of assisting officers, the initial suspect fled on foot. The deputy held the mother, father and a younger brother at gunpoint until backup arrived. The deputy suffered bruises and injured left ribs. The suspect's father was charged with resisting or obstructing an officer, caus­ ing injury.

The board III also approved hiring of Kaitlin Kremers as a fulltime education special teacher at Page Elementary to work in the cognitively impaired classroom. The hiring of Robinson as the physics teacher was spe­ cial for several of the board members. He is a 2004 TKHS graduate. He attended Western Michigan University with the intent of studying music education. “I have always wanted to be an educator,” he said. “In my first year [of college], I took calculus-based physics and realized that science education is where 1 was being called. I got a bache­ lor’s in science ed, physics major and chemistry minor.’’ He substituted in the area for a semester, then landed his first job at Lansing Catholic Central High School. ■ “I had a wonderful experi­ ence there teaching physics and chemistry and mentoring the robotics team,” he said. “1 stayed there for two years when the job at TK became available. Unable to resist, I applied and lo and behold, the job became available to me. I am very excited to be back in Middleville and am looking forward to a great year.” Robinson said he plans on pursuing a Ph.D. in curricu­ lum development in the future. Kremers received a bache­ lor of arts degree from Grand Valley State University. She just finished her student teaching, so this is her first year as a teacher. Thomapple Kellogg's volleyball program will host its second annual Pink Out Game Thursday evening, when it takes on the Hastings Saxons at 7 p.m. in Middleville.

The Trojans returned to league action Thursday, who battled breast cancer before she passing away in February 2010. Ellinger organized a 3-on3 volleyball tournament to raise money for the Mary McLellen fund at the middle school. The fund is to help pay for new books in the library' there. This year, the money raised from the Pink Out Game will go to the Susan G. Koeman Foundation.

Both are active in promoting community events, including sponsor­ ship of the car show at Orangeville Days in August. When asked how they came to name the business Shine On, Deb said,. “I’ve always loved rock music. The name is taken from the Pink Floyd hit, ‘Shine On You Crazy Diamond.'” Beverages and treats pro­ vided by the Gun Lake Women's Club will be avail­ able for everyone taking the tour of homes. Among’the houses on the tour is the Ihome is at 3018 Beatrice, which has been newly completed. The home­ owner has coordinated per­ sonal touches with the builders’ creativity and workmanship to produce a lifestyle perfect for the woods and water setting. • Tour organizer Ruth Newhouse said, “Watch for * unusual and historical fix­ tures, windows and doors working together in a mix of old and new to create an inviting, comfortable and open home.” Begin the tour at the front porch where hand-hewn birch pillars give support with raised planters giving enclosure. Fieldstone, board and batten siding and Shaker-style shingles are the exterior surfaces. Inside, a curved wall leads to the heart of the home. The living room and dining area interact well for conversation among family and guests. Nine-foot ceilings give space; the floor is natural hickory. The kitchen, seen through a pass-through, is custom throughout. The cabinets and trim are rustic maple, with maple butcher block and Brazilian granite countertops. A unique feature is an Italian wood-fired oven encased in a wall of field­ stone. A hidden pantry and a shadowbox window add a special touch. Tour designer Diane Gaertner said, “Look for repurposed paneling from the previous cottage, as well as solid pine slabs turned into a countertop in one room and a bench in anoth­ er.” The library/office is accessed through birdseye maple French doors. Gaertner wanted visitors to note the barrel vaulted ceiling. In the master suite, with its vanity of Kentucky blue­ stone, the free-standing oval tub's air jets will give a relaxing soak. Four bedrooms, a full bath and TV lounge are on the upper level. Unique to this area is the grandson’s “man cave." High-quality furnish­ ings, including family pieces from generations past, are throughout the home, giving comfort and adding charac­ ter. Outside are a stamped concrete patio and walks sur­ rounding the landscaping and gardens. Picnics will taste great on the oval traver­ tine table, and Adirondack chairs are ready for a relax­ ing view of Gun Lake. Broad stone steps and a garden path lead to the side entry of the home at 10745 Gun Lake Road. Built origi- nally as a cottage in the 1920s, the recent remodel by new homeowners has brought the home fully into the 21 st century. Situated between both Gun Lake and Long Lake, beautiful views abound. . The main level's rooms flow together over a synthet­ ic wood flooring design of warm brown in wide planks. A multi-colored floral area rug in the living room coor­ dinates the warm hues of the walls, upholstered and paint­ ed furniture, while the white beadboard wainscoting in the dining and kitchen area is the foundation for a nautical look. A full bath, done in blue beadboard, with black raised vanity and white fixtures serves the family as well as the adjoining sitting room and guest bedroom. “Note the thick pine doors that easily roll over door­ ways when privacy is A I la 4 ’ fit Ik Lute ' Items eh a.izBac ’steal » • |ai®l .-aaaite VILLAGE OF MIDDLEVILLE SYNOPSIS VILLAGE OF MIDDLEVILLE, MICHIGAN COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES August 23, 2011 The regular meeting of the Village Council of Middleville, Michigan was called to order at 7:07 PM by President Pullen.

This is a large bed­ room, with multiple closets and bath with a skylight. Soft colors and antique furnish­ ings give a feeling of tran­ quility, and the treetop view is a panorama from east to west from Baird’s Cove to the narrows and West Gun Lake. . In the lower level, utilities and laundry are housed behind doors, but a large space is dedicated to fun activities and bunk beds. Closer to the lake is a family room. ...

Plantings all around complement the blue siding of the home, while white trim and fencing give bright contrast and a warm wel­ come The drive to the home at 2849 Fifth Street, Shelbyville, winds its way to the English-style traditional home built in 1996 and pur­ chased by the current home­ owners in 1999. With an exterior of brick and siding, the home is surrounded by a lawn and plantings. The front entry is set between peaks with frosted glass in the door and sidelights. Rooms on the main level flow from the front entry, with the living room being centrally located. Adjacent is the master bedroom done in basic neutral tones with ani­ mal print accents. The adjoining full bath is a large room containing a Jacuzzi tub, shower, double lavatory and a ceramic tile floor. A second room adjacent to the living room and over­ looking the backyard is the sun room. Its walls are paint­ ed red with lower white wainscoting. Plaid draperies frame the windows, creating a warm, inviting space to relax in or use as a guest room. The living room is fur­ nished in traditional leather and oak on plush carpeting. Warm Warm patterns patterns in in the draperies and accessories make it comfortable. The kitchen has white cab­ inetry surrounding an island done in black and gray, with a cookware rack overhead. Bright floral fabrics add piz­ za zz to the table and sliding zazz door, and the flooring is light wood grain laminate. The dining room is nearby, ready for guests with a view of the front yard. Past the kitchen are a half-bath and entry doors to a double garage in front and a large rear deck with fenced yard. “Not to be missed is the office, where workspace is shared by the owners for their business endeavors and also contains a sewing area,” Gaertner said. “With a separate entrance, it is an ideal spot for projects or clients.” The second floor contains two guest bedrooms and a full bath. One is furnished with a grandmother’s bed­ room set, while the other is decorated especially for twin granddaughters, with princesses and a castle, cus­ tom wall mural.

The tour home at 2845 Fifth Street is 2.5 miles west of Patterson Road. “The natural beauty of a country road will prepare you for the setting of this lovely home situated on five acres on Fifth Street,” said Gaertner. “Spectacular gar­ dens and yard art catch your eye as you walk to the main entry and are welcomed into the spacious foyer. The owners’ love of fami­ ly and nature is evident head­ ing into the dining area with a fireplace and loft. This special place for grandchildren holds visual memories of old-time winter activities and is a great place to settle in with a storybook, The kitchen is adjacent, with clean lines and a cookware rack. Passionate about food and entertaining, the owners are prepared to serve a few or a crowd with gour­ met delights. A bump-out wall for the sink has a curved glass window with a view of the front garden, or the cook can see through a completely screened-in porch opposite the dining area to the deep backyard and 17-acre pond. Also on the main floor is the master bedroom with full bath and opposite the foyer, a large living room in full Southwestern decor. A stair­ way leads to the lower level, fully exposed to the large yard and water. Areas to see on this level are the home theater with library, office, and hot tub room with a bar. “Don't miss the two bed-’ rooms, each with bath,” said Gaertner. “Step outside to a patio area, ready for relaxing outdoors or a walk to the pond, fun for bed-and-breakfast guests and owners to fish.” The property was the site of a sawmill in 1870. “Keep your eyes open in this home for furnishings and displays of all kinds,” she added. “Most of all, to gain some peace and tranquility, stop for a moment and absorb the quiet beauty of nature.” The farmhouse at 185 124th St., Shelbyville, was built in 1885. The home has retained its history while being updated to the comfort BI« - a J/— * ** ■ ?.-»? s. « Shine On Sales hospitality site level of current generations. The farm has been in the family of the original settlers for most of this period. Gingerbread trim in both the front and rear roof peaks adds a touch from yester­ year; even an outhouse can be seen in the backyard. After parking in the mead­ ow, guests will enter the sun room and at once see the pas­ toral fields and backyard garden with trees and a grasshopper sculpted from recycled materials. This room is casual and welcom­ ing with sassafras paneling on the walls, hackberry trim and Mexican tile covering the floor. In 2002, this room was added to the farmhouse to move the main living area from the street view to the acreage view. Many rooms have new former porches uses: became a bath, an entryway or a bedroom. One of the for­ mer kitchens is now the liv­ ing room with fireplace. In the early years, the iron stove could be moved to accom­ modate a summer kitchen on a porch or a winter kitchen to keep heat in the heart of the home. Today, the kitchen is large with some original and some new cabinets, all white. Adjoining the kitchen is a sunny alcove once used for a wedding, a dining room that was formerly the front parlor 8196 Broadmoor Ave., SE Caledonia, MI 49316 Caledonia TOWNSHI p z and a bedroom with some original furnishings and wall covering. A very steep farmhouse flight of stairs to the second story opens to a large master bedroom. A former small bedroom and closets are now a large, full bath complete with Jacuzzi tub. Many cus- tom bookshelves line the walls, and the “his” and “her” offices on this level. Much of the decor is from generations past and their travels. “Many pieces have sto­ ries that marvel, amaze and amuse,” said Gaertner. “Those who tour will find it fascinating and educational with history at every turn.” Phone: 616.891.0070 Fax: 616.891.0430 CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF CALEDONIA KENT COUNTY, MICHIGAN NOTICE OF ADOPTION OF ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT AND SUMMARY OF THE REGULATORY EFFECT THEREOF P UBLIC NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on September 7,2011, the Township Board of the Charter Township of Caledonia adopted an ordinance comprising Amendment No. 10 of the Foremost Corporation Planned Unit Development (PUD) ordinance (Kraft Lake Office Park), a planned unit development located in Section 5 of the Township.

There's no time to wait.' Or, I look at the distance and it says two and three quarters I know I have a quarter mile to go, plus the extra kick. “I like it. I think it's a ben­ efit to runners who have any kind of watch really, as long as they know where they’re at just to know their pace and everything. It's a great thing for people to run with watches this year.” It's especially great when it has that kind of a time on it at the end.

Thornapple Kellogg’s varsity boys' tennis team will play the three teams its battling for the top spot in the O-K Gold Conference duringA the final two weeks of the conference regular season. The stretch starts with trips to Forest Hills Eastern (Tuesday) and Caledonia (Thursday). “Both those teams, espe­ cially Eastern, they've £ ot tremendous depth on their bench,” said TK head coach Larry Jachim. “They’re very good with their ball-control and ball­ handling, so it's going to be a battle of who's aggressive and who’s possessing the ball.” Both FHE and Caledonia are 2-1 in the conference, having lost only to 3-0 Christian. South The Trojans are also 3-0. They’ll face South in the conference’s regular season finale Sept. 29 in Middleville. TK is now 9-1 overall, with a I -0 non-conference loss to Sparta the only blemish. TK got its third confer­ ence win Thursday, topping visiting Hastings 6-1. No less than four of the Trojan goals went off of the fingers, the hands or the body of the Saxons keep­ ers. “We're getting the ball there. That’s half the bat­ tle,” said Jachim. “Whether it gets in the net, that's not only a keeper issue that's a break down of the defense and everything else. How did we get it to that point? Sure, I think we had some pretty lucky goals where the ball went in easily M II 1 I * . ® ^*1 Ik (ku ... ,*?

Bremer had a goal and an assist. Kiel had a goal and an assist. Deih had a pair of goals, including the first and last goals of the game for the Trojans. Deih scored the game's first goal, in the 11th minute, ripping a shot off the fingertips of lungin .81 Saxon goalkeeper Travis Matthews. TK led 3-1 at the half, with Alex Koetsier driving ' in a ball that Kiel chipped over the Saxon goalkeeper in the box. Kiel then deflected in a free kick by teammate Holden Meyering with in the 22nd minute. Hastings scored its lone goal on a mistake by the Trojan defense. Tanner Roderick chased down a slow, rolling pass that was dropped back for TK keep­ er Nate Eaton and put it into the back of the net. Bremer had a centering pass bounce off Matthews into the net in the 52nd minute of play to put TK up 4-1, then seven minutes later Kevin MartinezHernandez ripped a shot off a bouncing ball from the top of the 18 that went through the hands of Saxon back-up keeper Casey Goggins. Deih closed out the scor­ ing with 1:21 left on the clock. Goggins bobbled a Trojan shot, and Bremer beat him to the rebound and tapped it back for Deih who kicked it into the open net. “We’ve only had two bad losses, and this is the sec­ ond one,” said Hastings head coach Ben Conklin, who's team is now 0-3 in the O-K Gold. “Every other game has been 2-1 or 2-0.

He filled both roles quite well Friday night. Thomapple Kellogg quar­ terback Dylan VanPutten rushed 25 times for 141 yards as the Trojan varsity football team ground out a 14-0 * victory over the visiting Wayland Wildcats in O-K Gold Conference action in Middleville. VanPutten started the year at halfback for the Trojans. “He’s kind of a dual pur­ pose guy there,” said TK head coach Chad Ruger. “When we started this thing, I thought handing him the foot­ ball and having him have a head of steam was the way to go. Obviously, he proved tonight that he can get that head of steam from the quar­ terback position too. I think that it was pretty clear that he is going to be a positive offensive threat for us.” VanPutten called his own number on the Trojan’s final nine snaps of the game, on a drive that covered 46 yards and most importantly ate up the final four and a half minutes on the clock. The Trojans had 251 yards of total offense, all of it being rushing earned on 49 attempts. “We went back to what we do best.

The Trojan team of Kayla Strumberger, Kayla Kroells, Hannah and Bayshore Casidee Martin led the TKHastings team to victory in I the first event of the season, the 200-yard medley relay. The team finished its race in 2 minutes 4.54 seconds, more than 15 seconds faster than the top Falcon foursome in the race. TK then had Kaylee DeMink win the 200-yard freestyle in 2:14.42.03, Alexis Kelly win the 200yard medley in 2:40.03 and Kroells win the 50-yard freestyle in 27.47 seconds. TK swept the three scor­ ing places in both the 200yard freestyle and the 100- yard butterfly. Alexa Schipper took the butterfly for the Trojans, touching the wall in 1:08.74. Kroells added a third win, taking the 100-yard freestyle in 1:00.73. Strumberger and Schipper both had two victories on the for day TK-Hastings.

South Christian took a 2-0 lead early in the second half of its O-K Gold Conference w ith showdown • with the Caledonia varsity boys' soc­ cer team, then went onto a 3I victory. Caledonia pulled within 2I when Henry Spees got his foot on the ball during a scramble in front of the Sailor net following a Scot comer kick. That corner was set up by a 40-yard blast by the Scots’ Luke Bestrom which clipped off the Sailor goal­ keepers’ hands and just wide of the net. Bestrom pushed up on the offensive end after the Sailors moved out to a 2-0 lead on a goal by Kade Hoeksema with just un'der two and a half min­ utes gone in the second half. Blake Brinks scored the lone goal of the first half for the Sailors, in the second minute of play. The Bestrom move created a few extra chances on the offensive end for the Scots, and the Caledonia defense held up well with its leader gone. “I was really worried,” said Caledonia head coach Blair Lincoln. “I pulled Luke, I pulled our captain, sweeper off the back line and put him at center mid. I was worried about doing that so early, with 30 minutes to go, at 2-0 I didn't care if we lost 4-0, then we got a goal. “That was the one thing I told Tyler Patterson on this side of the field, I said ‘go in and tell Luke that I'm not making any adjustment to roll him back to sweeper.

That’s about to change. 9' Breaking News No Whistling, Buzzing or Plugged-up Feeling At a recent gathering oTihe American Academy of Audiology (AAA), scientists revealed a hearing aid microchip processor so small that it can fit inside a hearing aid shell custom formed to your ear canal to fit right next to the ear drum. It sits so deep in the canal that it ends where other hearing aids begin. And that makes it completely undetectable to anyone else. In fact, we like to say it’s “invisible.” It also supports the undisputed world-leading feedback cancellation technology. This means the annoying whistling and buzzing your uncle's old hearing aids used to make is a thing of the past. In addition, the positioning of the hearing aid beyond the second bend in the ear canal is meant to work with the ear's natural acoustics to deliver more precise and natural sound—and resolve that plugged-up or head-in-a-barrel sensation (a complaint of many hearing aid wearers). •1 Packs a Punch Despite its miniature size, the processor inside the “Invisible-In-Canal" hearing aid is so powerful it supports the most sophisticated advances in digital hearing technology to date. It is so fast, that it samples the listening environment 2,000 times per second and makes automatic adjustments to the sound it delivers to your ear. When someone is talking, it is designed to quiet the background noise in-between syllables and amplify the speaker's voice so that you can clearly hear and understand the words. Are You Missing Too Much? You’ve worked hard all your life. It's time to be reaping some of that reward. Don't let your hearing loss rob you of the things you enjoy most in life: the relationships with your friends and family. You can get help now without suffering the stigma of yesterday's hearing aids. <A X I L / I Phil Wirtz, H.A.D. p The new Invisible-In-Canal digital hearing aid is fully programmable to your specific Hearing Aid Dealer hearing loss, houses the most advanced feedback cancellation and speech preservation License # 3501000488 technology available, and is custom formed to fit so deeply in your ear canal that it is completely undetectable to others when worn. It’s designed to be the most powerful and sophisticated hearing aid ever. It does for your ears what a contact lens does for your eyes: it improves your hearing without anyone knowing it’s there. I love this hearing aid, but it’s my patients who swear by it. It includes all of today’s most sophisticated hearing technologies in its amazingly small shell.

Hall went on to say that the village general fund could take a $72,000 hit because of the proposed abo­ lition of personal property taxes on businesses; the tax is on equipment used in the operation of a business and should not be confused with real property taxes which apply to land and the physi- cal facility. The village sewer fund drew a comment that charges for services are not covering the costs of providing servic­ es. Hall’s recommendation was to raise the rates slightiyVillage Manager Sandy Ayers said the rates had been raised in January of this year and would increase again in January 2012.

The technical center will enable Bradford White to teach classes to the installers of the water heating equip­ ment and have room for observers, storage and water chillers. Moffatt told Westhouse that it was a little strange that water chillers were nec­ essary when a water heater class was in session. Westhouse assured him that there would be times when classes could get too hot and to be re-used, the water would need to be cooled down. Other elements of the original plan still remain, including sustainable plantings, rainwater reclamation and trash recycling at the main plant. Members of the planning the of Members Middleville Village Council met as a committee-of-ihewhole Sept. 22 to discuss topics for the regular council meeting Tuesday, Sept. 27. This was the second commitmeeting tee-of-the-whole held by the council. Charlie Miller from the village’s wastewater treat­ ment plant discussed several issues, including the need for a new heating ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) system. Bids for this system will be reviewed by council members, and the issue will be on the agenda. Also on the agenda will be a request by Village Manager Rebecca Fleury to have the council consider signing a contract with Williams and Works to complete the fiveyear community recreation plan. This plan is required if the village wants to apply for recreation grants. Fleury told council members that the plan has to be ready by March 2012 to allow the vil­ lage to apply for grants. Fleury also mentioned the need for council to consider sting a sign at the new HK 1 'S Wildwood Trails Park allow­ ing people to use the park. The sign would read, “Rustic trails, use at own risk," and was recommended by the village’s insurance carrier and legal counsel. Several council members worked on spreading mulch on the trails at Wildwood during the Sept. 17 Day of Caring and are iexcited about having the public able to use the park to see fall color this year. There was a general dis­ cussion about the coming of winter and how to encourage property owners to clear their sidewalks within 24 hours of the end of a snow­ fall. This discussion will continue. The next regular meeting of the village council will be Tuesday, Sept. 7, at 7 p.m. The next committee-of-thewhole meeting will be Tuesday, Oct. 4, at 4:30 p.m. lit .

Saturday, September 24. 2011 t Car strikes home In Caledonia 61-year-old man is in the hospital with life-threat­ ening injuries after losing control of his vehicle and crashing into a house in Caledonia. At 1 J a.m. Thursday, SepL 22, Leonard Poll, lost control of his 1999 Lincoln and it ran into a home at the comer of Thomapple River Drive and 84th Street. A Kent County Sheriff A Deputy was driving behind Poll’s vehicle at the time of the crash. The deputy reported the Lincoln was eastbound on 84th Street just west of Thomapple River Drive when, for an unknown reason, it crossed the center line and almost » • struck a westbound truck. The Lincoln continued and went into the ditch, crossed Thomapple River Drive and struck the house located at 7201 84th Street SE in Caledonia. The house was not occupied at the time. the Assisting the Kent County Sheriff Department were Caledonia Fire Department, MichCon and Consumers Energy. The accident remains under investigation. Caledonia Twp. Planning Commission approves amendment for day care center bv Fran Faverman Staff Writer owner of the parcel w hen the trees were removed?” “Yes,” Dally said. “They were dead and dying willow trees.” “Trees were left there for a reason.” commented Kelly. “You are asking for forgive­ ness, not permission.” Kelly closed his comment saying that he felt they were rewarding poor behavior. Township Planner Lynee Wells, at Warner s request, provided a brief history of the PUD, saying it was estab­ lished in 1993 and that a child care center is allowed in a commercial district. Kelly asked about the location of the greenhouse. Wells said she preferred placing the greenhouse on the east side of the property where there is enough room to comply with setback requirements. Dally said he wanted the building to conform to the drawings provided to the commission and said shutters would be removed, some awnings would be installed, and paint colors would meet the requirements. Commissioner Ric Parent took up the request for a reduction in the nujnber of trees required, noting that the trees Dally did not want to replace were on the east. He added that he had been on the planning commission in 1993 and the purpose of the trees had been to separate the enterprise from the residential neighborhood. He added that he did not want to start down the road of not main­ taining the separation. Dally said there were power easements and added that the power line to the building was fairly low. Another concern. Dally said, is that while the lot has a frontage of 140 feet, it narrows and has a rear line of only 100, feet resulting in a wedge shape to the lot. Commissioner Don Koopmans said he was conccrned about the citation Dally received for the tree removal, asking, “Why didn’t you know?” Wells responded that the applicant would have had to review the site plan. Warner refocused the dis­ cussion. saying he would be willing to reduce the number of trees along Valley Point to six and some additional greenery. He would require other trees to be kept. Commissioner Tim Morris wanted to know' how many children would be using the bus stop. Dally estimated an average of 22 kids. There is also a provision for a shelter at the stop with a capacity of three to seven children. He added that a teacher would remain with the children until they are picked up. Heights of the buildings were not specified on the and drawings, arid Warner reminded Dally that the height of the accessory build­ ing cannot exceed the height of the main building; Dally said he guessed the height of the main building was 28 feet. Also on the drawing but without a height specification was a fence. Dally said the fence would be two feet high; Warner said it needed to be four feet high. Commissioner Kelly Cavanaugh noted that the driveway could be difficult to cross without a crossing area. • Warner recommended paint­ ing a four-foot wide strip across the driveway from the shelter to the walkway to the building. Warner moved to approve a recommendation to the township board for approval of the amendment to the PUD with the following condi­ tions: Earthtone colors, no metal roof, striping of the driveway for a walkway, addition of six shade trees on Valley Point Drive, reloca­ tion of trees near the site of the greenhouse, mjfintenance of parking lot landscaping. The motion was approved unanimously. The next meeting of the planning commission will be The Caledonia Township Planning Commission at its Sept. 19 meeting approved, with conditions, an amend­ ment to the Valley Point West Industrial Park Planned Unit Development (PUD) and a site plan for the Caledonia Care Center. The company proposes to operate a day care center under the name Adventure Learning Center at 8106 Broadmoor Ave. James Dally, representing the applicant, initially faced difficult questions from the commissioners because a Davenport University has Caledonia Michael Duiven.

Based out of Grand Rapids, Third Michigan exists to educate the general public and preserve all aspects of Civil War life. The original Third was formed from companies that were raised in the Grand Rapids area, as well as from Lansing. It was mustered into service June 10, 1861, and fought for the Union in battles such as Bull Run, the Siege of Yorktown, the Battle of Williamsburg and more. Upon the Third's musterill out on June 10, 1864, its remaining men became Companies A, E, I, and F of the Fifth Michigan Infantry. As such, they served through the Siege of Petersburg, three battles of Hatcher's Run, and the pursuit of Lee’s Army to Courthouse.

At the top of the agenda of the Caledonia Township Board of Trustees Sept. 21 meeting was a public hearing required in order to complete the process of removing 17 acres from the planned unit development and rezoning 17 acres of land from high­ way commercial to agricul­ ture, as part of a donation from Farmers Insurance Company to Davenport University. The rezoning was a condition of making the donation to the university. Supervisor Township Bryan Harrison opened the hearing asking if any memL» £ A Lw «-« « • ^-1 « X^ >-4 ♦ ber of the audience wished to address the rezoning; no one wished to do so and the hear­ ing was closed. The amend­ ment, the 11th to the Foremost Planned Unit Development, was on second reading. Following a motion to approve the rezoning, the resolution was approved on a roll call vote, 6-0. As Harrison signed the resolution, he commented that the donation takes the land off the tax rolls since Davenport University is a tax-exempt institution. He noted that Davenport is a good partner in the community; it has made a $25,000 annual donation to the township in lieu of taxes to help pay for the cost of the services used by the university. [The 10-year agreement pro­ viding for an annual donation each year of $25,000 was worked out in 2005 or 2006 by the township and Davenport; Davenport has consistently made the pay­ ment at the beginning of each township fiscal year.] Nevertheless, he expressed some concern about the removal of property from the tax rolls in the highway com­ mercial district. business. other In Township Treasurer Richard Robertson, explaining that he was substituting for Clerk Jennifer Christian, who had actually done most of the work on the township s coverage insurance for TH i in®1 (XI I* ** I* gan.com.

Charges of resisting assaulting, resistins or obstructing a police officer and operating a vehicle with license suspended, revoked or denied were dropped. employees, introduced a request to amend the person­ nel policy section on insur­ ance. He said legal counsel had recommended changing the language. As currently written, every’ time the board changes employee insurance arrangements, the section on insurance has to be rewritten. The new language, he said, would allow terms of the coverage to be arranged at the discretion of the board. A motion to approve the change was passed unani­ mously. Robertson then turned to the details of the new cover­ age. He reminded the board that at its most recent meet­ ing, payment of the deductibles for the health savings account arrangement at the rate of $ 1,200 for a sin­ gle person and $2,400 for a family had been approved. At that time, Robertson had said that any adjustments would be made on the premi­ um side. Insurance arrangements this year are complicated by passage of a state law limit­ ing townships and other pub­ lic entities to paying a maxi­ mum of 80 percent of the cost of employee health insurance. The township's practice had been to pay the entire cost for a single person and to require employees who wanted family coverage to pay 50 percent of the cost of the family coverage. Rather than have people look at a 20 percent cost, he said he has preferred to use a 7 percent per year increase until they reach the desired level. Robertson said employees were receptive to this approach. He estimated the township's costs for employee health insurance will increase by about $600 this The year. board approved his recommenda­ tion. During the final board comment period, Robertson said he had looked at the governor's ‘dashboard' and in his opinion, caution must be exercised in evaluating the numbers. He said the Michigan Municipal League had issued a critique of the dashboard. He noted that h regards the final cost in dol­ lars out the door as a more useful number than focusing on what each employee pays.

In fact, women own more than 10 million U.S. compa­ nies, and women-owned businesses account for about 40% of all privately held firms in the U.S., according to the Center for Women's Business Re-search. Clearly, the good news is that women like you are entering the small-business arena at a rapid pace. The not-so-good news is that you may be fac­ ing a retirement savings gap in comparison to male busi­ ness owners. To get a sense of this gap, consider these statistics: • According to the U.S. Small Business Administra­ tion’s Office of Advocacy, 19.4% of male business owners have 401(k) or similar plans, compared with just 15.5% of women owners. • The percentage of female businessowners with Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) is about the same as that of male business owners — but the men have more money in their accounts. The average woman’s IRA balance is about $51,000, compared with $91,000 for men. according to a recent report by the Employee Benefit Research Institute.

You'll fund the plan with tax­ deductible contributions, and you must cover all eligible employees. • Solo defined benefit plan — Pension plans, also known as defined benefit plans, are still around — and you can set one up for your­ self if you are self-employed or own your own business. This plan has high contribu­ tion limits, which are deter­ mined by an actuarial calcu­ lation, and as is the case with other retirement plans, your contributions are typically tax-deductible. • SIMPLE IRA - A SIM­ PLE IRA, as its name sug­ gests, is easy to set up and maintain, and it can be a good plan if your business has fewer than 10 employ­ ees. Still, while a SIMPLE IRA may be advantageous for your employees, it's less generous to you, as far as allowable contributions, than an owner-only 401 (k), a SEP IRA or a defined benefit plan, As a business owner, you spend a lot of time thinking about what needs to be done today, but you don't want to forget about tomorrow — so consider putting a retirement plan to work for you soon.

But for many women business owners (and male owners, too), the per­ ceived cost of setting up and running a retirement plan has been an obstacle. However, the retirement plan market has opened up considerably for small business owners over the past several years, so you might be surprised at the ease and inexpensiveness of administering a quality plan that can help you build resources for your own retirement — and help you attract and retain good employees. With the help of a finan­ cial professional, you can consider some of the myriad of plans that may be avail­ able to you: • Owner-only 401(k) — This plan, which is also known as an individual 401(k), is available to selfemployed individuals and business owners with no fulltime employees other than themselves or a spouse. You may even be able to choose a Roth option for your 401(k), which allows you to make after-tax contributions that can grow tax-free. • SEP IRA — If you have just a few employees or are with self-employed no employees, you may want to Dr. Laura Kota, M.D. No application fee, underwriting fee, closing fee. ‘First 10 people who sign-up are entered in a drawing for a fitness bag and water bottle Many competitive-rate, low-cost mortgages. 8 cn s Contact Alice Doherty at 616.559.4511 or alice.doherty@unitedbankofmichigan.com 0' # UNITED DANK ■ w mortgage corporation O' a 11 • V1 8 A 8540 Broadmoor Ave., Caledonia J J Alice Doherty1 www.unitedbankofmichigan.com h* 00 T” b<D O t=l Pennock ^PENNOCK HEALTHSERVICES To learn more, please visit us online at pennockhealth Xvcom •L �Page 12/The Sun and News.

Caledonia artist has another entry in ArtPrize A 1 r «»»» 4' Ji*?®6 ^2S*i£ & Caledonia artist Cheryl Fischer-Vodry will once again compete in the Grand Rapids-based ArtPrize. This year's entry, “Peace in Dichroic” is made up of hundreds of small, fire-pol* ished pieces of dichroic glass, arranged into a tie-dye, three-dimensional “Peace” symbol. The frame is a recy­ cled drum head. Fischer-Vodry said dichroic means two colors. Depending on the light, the colors seem to shift, giving it a almost holographic appear­ ance. Dichroic glass was devel­ oped by NASA for use in satellite mirrors. It has mul­ tiple ultra-thin layers of dif­ ferent metals, such as gold, silver, titanium, chromium and aluminum applied to the surface of the glass in a vac­ uum chamber. “It’s a fun, colorful piece, designed to make you smile and maybe remember a sim­ pler time,” she said.

Derek Rider assisted on each of those & * .1 ™*i It* Ti cifan TiWife u ijWBi -iUai Mi SEI** ;i scores. “They came out very, very fast and physical,” TK. head coach Larry Jachim said of the Fighting Scots. “We were never able to regain our composure until the begin­ ning of the second half.” Curtis Ackerman and Spees then scored the final two goals of the game for the Scots to get some breathing room for their team after Josh Bremer opened the trim* •-K.or- Mi n* ini scoring in the second half to pull TK within 2-1. The Trojans have just three losses on the season overall, and Jachim said that Thursday was the first time that he felt like his team was beaten on the scoreboard and on the field. “The games we lost before, those were two games we statistically won,” Jachim said. “So, when I sat down and 1 chat with them 1 told them we had more shots. We just didn't put them in. In this particular case, Caledonia beat us statistically as well.” One of those statistics he looks at is winning 50/50 balls, and Caledonia had a clear edge in that on Thursday. TK also struggled in its transition from offense to defense in the ball game. Part of the struggles for TK were the emotional and physical toll Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss at Forest Hills Eastern took on the Trojans. FHE’s Ryan Scott, who'd moved up to the offensive end from his sweeper position to begin the second half of play, knocked a centering pass from left to right which teammate Paul Jorgenson K’1" j, «1V«*** b' will play at home against South Christian Thursday. The Trojans also have anonconference contest at home against Kenowa Hills o Monday. Tuesday in Grand Rapids the Fighting Scots knocked off Grand Rapids Catholic Central 5-2. The Scots built a 2-0 firsthalf lead in that game as well, getting goals from Spees and Jake Wunderink. Tfoe Cougars were able to rajjy to tie things up on goals by Cash Compton and Mark headed into the net to give the host Hawks a 2-1 lead with 3:21 to play in the first overtime session Tuesday in Ada. The choice to move Scott ahead worked out well for the Hawks. He also scored the first goal of the game with just 13:59 to play in the second half. He got the ball above the Trojans’ 18 head­ ing towards the sideline, then cut back in and ripped a shot | for a 1-0 Hawk lead. TK rallied to score with 3:50 to play. Holden Meyering sent a free kick from near midfield in front of the Hawk net. It skipped off one Trojans’ head, and came down in front of Drew Kiel who was able to beat the FHE keeper in a one-on-one situation. The Trojans would have been in good shape if they’d been able to finish in those situations more often. TK forwards Noa Deih and Josh Bremer found themselves a couple times each with noth­ ing between them and the net but the FHE goalie, Nick Hopkins. Hopkins was able to rush out and deflect a handful of those attacks wide. Caledonia visits those Hawks on Tuesday after­ noon, then will travel to Wayland Thursday to close the league’s regular season.

Saxon head coach Fred Rademacher said that practic­ ing the goal-to-go to win the game situation isn’t some­ thing his team runs through very often in the preseason or regular season practices. “We'll do a couple of hurry up things, but we really don't do too many situations to be perfectly honest with you,” Rademacher said. “We’ll do it every now and then, but not too often and it's not too often that we're going to throw the ball.” It was just the second com­ pleted pass of the evening for Veltre, who finished two of Thornapple Kellogg students cheer on their classfive passing for 19 yards.

TK then went on a drive that lasted the rest of the quarter, but ended a drive that ended on the final play of the third with quarterback Dylan VanPutten getgetting sacked on fourth down at the Hastings’ 29-yard line. The Saxons' second drive of the second half, which began at the start of the fourth quarter, lasted just five plays before another punt by Jon Wright. TK's offense was able to run about five minutes off the clock before punting the ball back to the Saxons for their final drive. “It was two smash-mouth football teams playing some old-timey football,” Rademacher said. “We were just going to run the ball between the tackles and come at each other. They're a good football team. They are big and they are physical. They're well coached. We made some plays at the end.” TK made the first big play of the game. Greg Hamilton rushed around the left side and tip-toed along the sideline the final couple yards of a 23yard TD run with 10:51 left in the opening quarter. TK faked the extra-point, with Grant Allison tossing a two-point pass to teammate Cody Ybema, to go up 8-0. The Saxons went threeand-out on their next posses­ sion, but a Trojan fumble on the first play of the drive put Hastings' offense on the field again. The Saxons went on a ten-play, 61-yard drive that ended in a two-yard touch­ down run by Bobby Leedy and a two-point conversion pass from Veltre to Comer. TK answered that score with a drive that ended with a 39-yard field goal by Iveson with 1:17 left in the first half. VanPutten again led the TK offense, rushing 23 times for 117 yards.

Thomapple Kellogg’s var­ sity volleyball team was looking forward to earning its first O-K Gold Conference victory of the season at home on Thursday. The Trojans and Hastings Saxons were holding a Pink Out Night. The Trojan stu­ dent section was loud, and •It full of boys with their pink shirts painted on their bod­ ies. Hastings hung with Thomapple Kellogg for most of the first set, with the Trojans pulling out a 25-19 win. TK then settled in and took the final two sets 25-14 and 25-15 to improve to 14-8 overall. “I think they were nervous to start. They looked •it: really tense. They believed they could win, so then some­ times you try to hard,” said TK head coach Patty Pohl. “After the first one I thought they relaxed, played more like themselves and had more fun.” Late in the second set Hastings head coach Gina McMahon walked over to the scorers table to double check that she had already used her two time-outs for the game. TK had won five of the six points since her previous time-out to push its t I lead to 20-10. She had already used two. The momentum kept going TK's way the rest of the night. “Our best set was our first set. Then, I think we just made our own silly mis­ takes," said Hastings head coach Gina McMahon, “I think we beat ourselves the second and third set. They picked it up, but all season long we've had to be at our best to beat these teams and we were not at our best.” Erin Ellinger, who organ­ ized the Pink Out event for the second straight year, and ‘ presented Mike McLellen with a check for $360 to give to the Susan G. Koeman Fund before the contest, had seven kills and nine digs for the Trojans. McLellen is the husband of Mary McLellen, the TK middle school teacher who passed away in 2010 who Ellinger organized the event in memory of. “I had the team bring in their blocks for their left­ front hitter. Erin Ellinger is a good left front hitter. We focused on practice this week as well as tonight moving our blocks in. She’s going right over Lexy Hickey who’s 5-foot-5. So: that was hard for us to stop.” Nicole Schondelmayer added eight kills, five aces and two blocks for the Trojans.

A lot of times you don’t have the opportunity to play everybody and then have everybody play really well,” coach Pohl said. That was really nice.” Ally Owen led the Saxons, recording two aces, 28 digs and seven kills. Jenny Jennv Feldpausch had 15 assists and Rachel Quillen two blocks. Feldpausch did well when the Saxons’ passing was able to get her the ball. The Trojans head to Caledonia, where they'll take on Grandville, Tri­ Unity Christian, Kenowa Hills and Grand Rapids Union Tuesday. TK then returns to league action Forest Hills Eastern Thursday. The Trojans had to come from behind, they had to win long matches, and they did both in winning the Silver Division title at Saturday's Caledonia Elite Invitational. Thomapple Kellogg was 6-1 on the day, scoring wins over West Ottawa, DeWitt and Jenison in pool play. The Trojans then defeated Hamilton in the quarterfinals of the Silver bracket, Unity Christian in the semifinals, and finally Jenison in the Silver bracket finals 26-24, 25-23. The Trojans trailed the Jenison Wildcats 17-11 in one of the sets, and after coach Pohl called her second 4ft time-out, the Trojans rallied to win the set. ftft The girls showed a lot of determination in rallying back from that deficit,” Pohl said. The Silver championship match wasn’t the first close one of the day for TK. To take the semifinal match against Unity Christian in two sets, the Trojans had to score a 32-30 victory. “My assistant coach and I J The Trojans’ Sydney Krol passes the ball in the back row during Thursday night s 3-0 victory over the visiting Hastings Saxons. (Photo by Brett Bremer) were really proud of how the girls played, and I think they are finally starting to have confidence in themselves and understand what they are capable of,” Pohl said. Ellinger led TK on the day with 24 kills and 50 digs. Lark had a team-high 64 digs. Alaina Pohl had 86 assists. Sydney LeMay and Schondelmayer had 20 and 16 kills respectively. Sydney Krol and Crystal Smith added 29 and 24 digs each. “This was by far the most consistent the girls have, played," Pohl said. z to K * 4 ST- Caledonia’s boys beat rivals FHE and GRCC in Gold duals Caledonia’s varsity boys’ cross country team improved by 4-0 in the O-K Gold Conference by besting one of their toughest challengers for the league crown in a dual Wednesday at the South Christian Sports Complex.

Stauffer spent 14 years of her career teaching English as a second lan­ guage. Stauffer came to Caledonia as a teenager and attributed much of her aca­ demic success at Caledonia High School to the influence of a chemistry teacher. She said she so valued his encouragement that she took additional work in chemistry even though she disliked the subject. From CHS she went on to Michigan State University where she met a fellow Caledonian, Larry Stauffer. Following his grad­ uation, they married and set­ tled on the centennial farm where they raised four chil­ dren; her daughter Becky Bravata now teaches in the school district. Following supportive nudges from her husband, Larry, she became a nontraditional college student at the age of 36 at Grand Valley State University. She emerged four and a half years later with a degree in & —M education and began her teaching career. Stauffer has been described as a woman of boundless energy. Another might have been tempted to think it was time to sit back and smell the flowers, but not Stauffer. She heard a call urging her to mission work and her interest in Africa and mission work was revived. Her mission work began with teaching in an AIDS orphanage in Kenya; in the process she acquired another language, Swahili. In many parts of Africa, Swahili comes closest to being a language. Her common efforts expanded beyond teaching English as a second language. She She said said no teacher is comfortable with- Join US For Our Caledonia middle school stu­ dents with helping her to col­ lect backpacks and school supplies for her students in Kenya. CEF President Jessica Kohn welcomed the audi­ ence, briefly reviewed Stauffer's accomplishments, including the opening of Henny's Yam Shop in 2010 and its recent move to larger quarters. She then presented the crystal replica of the Caledonia School bell that now is mounted in a space marking the beginning of a path to the stadium. She also acknowledged the several sponsors •It who underwrite the annual event. In her remarks, Stauffer thanked everyone for attend­ ing and paid tribute to her family and to the marvelous experiences she has enjoyed in Caledonia and in Africa. She said she enjoyed being the grand marshal for the homecoming parade. The crowd was welcomed at the entrance by foundation trustees Tom and Marcy Kribs and their sons, Alex and Ben. Upon entering the food service area, a smiling Mimi Mahaney, director of food services for the district, and her staff of several vol­ unteers, including daughter, Alenandria Staltzer, provid­ ed an explanation of the menu, which has become a tradition: Pulled pork sand­ wiches,. hot dogs, chili and trimmings, nachos, pasta salad, cole slaw, crudites and dip, and dessert, brownies or cookies. A beverage stand provided apple cider, water, and coffee. The picnic fare was accompanied by a variety of instrumental - and vocal music selections overseen by Brent Dietiker, who calls himself the “Mosaidman,” a reflection of the musical ambiance he creates. Anyone who visited the tables staffed by sponsors could come home with Frisbees, T-shirts, silly putty, a gold and purple necklace, and other goodies.

Stauffer said she is also curious and wondered, ‘how can I help these women?' Most of whom lived in indepoverty. scribable The answer came; she taught women in the villages how to knit and crochet and then how to sell their goods in the village markets. Although not formally in her job description, assuming that she had one, it is possible that her greatest gift of friendship to these women was showing them how to become entrepreneurs. Her concern for the welfare of these also led her to work with groups supplying clean water. When she is not in Africa helping directly, she is busy raising money and supplies. The money she raises selling her own creations in the farmer's market is used to help fund the children's home.

During which time, he also owned a small busi­ ness building batting cages and body building equipment to help earn his way through college. Kirk never let his birth defects interfere with the things he wanted to do. In fact, Kirk never looked at himself as someone that was handicapped. To him it was just a challenge in life that Raymond Jousma kept him strong with a lot of enthusiasm.

Our featured speaker will be missionary pilot Paul Dye, who has spent much of his life in the jungles of South America. Through his commitment to reach many of the tribal groups in South America with the Gospel, Paul has witnessed amaz­ ing displays of God’s provision, protection, and grace. He will share many of his dramatic experiences, including being kidnapped by guerrillas and his miraculous escape. Paul will also share great insight into the Word of God that comes only with the maturity of a tested faith. friends with a lot of stories to share with everyone. He .spent a lot of time with dif­ ferent tribes of Native Americans because who knows more about hunting and fishing than the Native Americans. He learned how to survive in the wilderness if needed, he was an excel­ lent cook. When he realized that his life was coming to a close, he ■ said the Lord gave him one strong frame that he just plain wore out. He accom­ plished more than most healthy men could. He was one tough man. He was preceded in death by his father and - mother, Lane and Grace Campbell. He is survived by brothers, Larry (Sandy) Poland and Duane (Amy) Campbell; sis­ ter, Rainell (Bob) Wieland; nieces, Lori (Brian) Buchanan family, and Sharon (Mike) Huyser and family, Valerie (Andy) Smith and family, Melissa (Brent) Cisler and family, Kaileigh (Mark) Eddy and family; nephew, Wade (Lori) Poland and family; special friends, Bob and Ann Moomey and family; also Diana Irish and many more friends.

But of course, you can't con­ trol the rise and fall of stock prices. However, there is a key element of investing that you can control — the num­ ber of shares you own. And in the long run. share owner­ ship may be more important than rising stock prices in determining your long-term investment success. Of course, you might think that the advice of “buy more shares" is easier said than done. After all, not everyone can easily find a lot of extra money to invest. But you don't need access to vast wealth to increase your share ownership — you just need to consistently reinvest your stock dividends. Just how important are dividends to reinvested wealth accumulation. as compared to capital gains (the increase in stock prices)? Over the 135-year period from 1871 through 2003. owning stocks and reinvesting the dividends produced 97% of all stock market returns, with only 3% coming from capital gains, according to a major study done by Dr. Jeremy Siegel, one of the world’s leading researchers on stock market performance. Other studies have also pointed to the importance of dividends as a component of total returns. What are the implications of this disparity between the effectiveness of dividend reinvestment versus that of capitai gains? First of all, it Suggests that you may not want to spend an undue amount of time and effort in chasing after “hot" stocks, hoping for big capital gains. For one thing, by the time you buy these stocks, they may already be cooling off, but even more importantly, your focus on achieving large capital gains may not be the best use of your finan­ cial resources.

It was an insurance goal in the Fighting Scots' 2-0 victo- STANTON'S F ry over the host Hawks. Caledonia improves to 5-1 in the O-K Gold Conference with the victory, moving past the 4-2 Hawks in the league standings. “I was just happy that I was patient and took the touch and then finished it in the comer,” said Spees. “It was nice.” He said he was a little more focused on that shot than the one at the start of the half. He took a nice added look and a nice added touch and made sure that he had it,” said Caledonia head coach Blair Lincoln. “We’ve been talking about creating the best opportunity, not just t?getting the opportunity and not just shooting, but creat­ ing the best opportunity to score. Sometimes that takes a little patience, sometimes it takes a little bit of maturity. 1 feel good about our seniors up there. We're running the diamond there at the top, or the pyramid with three sen­ iors and the combinations were working well today.” It was sophomore mid­ fielder Taylor Hill who broke the 0-0 deadlock early in the second half, corralling a pass from senior midfielder Jake Wunderink behind the Hawks’ defense and beating the FHE keeper with 33:34 left to play. “The second half we came out and we were more deter­ mined to win,” said Spees. “We were the team that wanted to win. That's why we pulled ahead.” Joe Fifer earned the shut out in net, with some help from his defense. He helped out his defense a couple times too. “All game Joe played exceptionally well. He was where he needed to be. 1 keep telling him as the games progress more and more, we need you to make every save you're supposed to and one more.

One more point at any flight would have guaranteed Caledonia’s varsity boys' tennis team the runner-up finish at the league tourna­ ment to itself, and an out­ conference right title Saturday at the O-K Gold Conference Tournament. It all essentially came down to the second singles final, which was one of the final matches out on the court.

For Kent District Library, scrapping the personal prop­ erty tax would mean a loss of approximately $1.1 million in revenue. The PPT makes up 7 percent of KDL’s 2011 operating budget. Along with the decline in property tax values, loss of income due to local tax captures and cuts to state aid for libraries, KDL has already lost $1.5 million in revenue over the past two years.

Valerie A Bob A few' years ago, the National Association of Professional Organizers des­ ignated the first week of October as Get Organized Week. And while you may have misplaced your notifi­ cation of this event, it’s nonetheless a good time to see just how organized you are in the important areas of your life — such as your finances. You can organize your finances in two basic ways: by keeping track of where your various accounts are located and by consolidating your assets. Let’s look at both these areas. To begin with, you might think it's no big deal to keep track of your financial accounts. After all. no one lets these accounts just slip away, does he? Actually, you might be surprised: At least $32 billion, and possibly much more, of “lost” property (savings, investments, retirement accounts and so on) are in the custody of state treasurers and other agen­ cies, according to the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators. How do people misplace these funds? They might move from a town and forget to close a bank account. Or they might leave a job and not realize they’ve left behind money in a 401(k). However they do it, it hap- pens — but you don’t want it to happen to you. Fortunately, it’s not hard to keep tabs on your various accounts — you just need to make a list. Where do you keep your checking and sav­ ings accounts? Where are vour investments held? Do you have a retirement plan, such as a 401 (k) with your current employer? How about any retirement plans with former employers? If you have Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs), do you keep them with multiple providers? By answering these questions, you can develop a compre­ hensive list of what you own and where, it's located. Of course, it's a good idea to update this list periodically at least once a year — to reflect any changes in your ownership. Knowing what you have will be helpful to you in eval­ uating your financial situa­ tion today. But if you want to help yourself make progress toward your goals for tomor­ row', you’ll also want to con­ sider another organizational technique: consolidating your assets. Specifically, if you have some stocks here, a couple of certificates of deposits (CDs) there and some IRAs at still another place, you might consider consolidating them with one financial services provider.

And when you eventually start taking with­ drawals from your IRA and 401 (k), you may find it easi­ er to calculate these required distributions if they're com­ ing from just one provider, rather than multiple sources. But most importantly, when you consolidate your investments with one provider, you’ll find it easier to follow a single, unified investment strategy. A quali­ fied financial advisor can look at all your assets and determine if you've got redundancies in your hold­ ings and if you need to increase your diversification. (Keep in mind, though, that diversification, by itself, can't guarantee a profit or protect against loss.) Furthermore, once a finan­ cial advisor knows your situ­ ation, he or she can recom­ mend strategies that are appropriate for your objec­ tives, risk tolerance and time horizon. Get Organized Week lasts only seven days. But by using this time to begin organizing your finances, you could see benefits for years to come. 1 'll I khl Fir J /j f/ <3 III* [0 $ $ . a a. 0 J 1 11 I Th is article was written by J Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.

More than 50 colleges and univer­ sities will be available with information and to answer questions. Financial aid pre­ sentations will be given at 6:30 and 7:15 p.m. in Room B125. “It’s never too early for stu­ dents to begin looking at options for post-high school plans,” said Hastings High Principal School Tim Johnston. Students may find it help­ ful to follow these steps to prepare for college night: • Reduce and define career choices. Participate in some form of structured, career­ search program, and then consult with parents and guidance counselor, consid­ ering experiences, past strengths, weaknesses, apti­ tudes and interests. written • Develop a description of the college of most interest. The field of academic interest will auto­ matically reduce choices, but there is much more to a col­ lege experience than academ­ ics. Students might use some of the following adjectives in describing the college they want to attend: public, pri­ vate, large, small, two-year, four-year, liberal arts, techni­ cal, church-affiliated, urban, rural, residential or com­ muter. • Develop a list of ques­ tions. Focus on admissions requirements, high school course work, academic per­ formance. testing, interview­ ing and application proce­ dures. Also, consider cost, financial aid, housing avail­ ability, student activities, campus facilities, and resi­ dency requirements. Students from all area schools are invited to this event.

In 2010, eight of the II fatal deer crashes involved motorcyclists. That is why the Michigan Deer Crash Coalition has developed safety tips for motorcyclists. Motorcyclists should: • Be alert for deer whenev­ er they ride. Deer-vehicle crashes happen in urban, suburban and rural areas. • Slow down. Decreasing speed gives a motorcyclist more time to spot an animal and react. • Cover the brakes to reduce reaction time. • Use high-beam head­ lights and additional driving light when possible. • If riding in a group, spread out riders in a stag­ gered formation.

With those advantages the Scots won two close sets and one lopsided one Thursday in their O-K Gold Conference dual with visit­ ing Thomapple Kellogg. The Caledonia varsity volleyball team improved to 3-2 in the league with the 28-26, 25-12, 25-21 win. rhe Fighting I Scots had to rally to win that first set, falling behind 23-21 late. The set would eventually be tied, 24-24, 25-25, and again at 26-26 before the Scots won the final two points getting the last one on a big blast by Ry lee Kuiphoff. Kuiphoff and teammate Shelby O’Brien would each have a couple of big kills at the start of the Scots' run in the second set. “It started out back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, said Caledonia head coach Heidi Langworthy of the second set, “but we just kind of com­ pletely took over and found every single hole on the court. We did really well with our hitting, which is a good thing, and blocking. We did really well at the net.” Alexis Miller took over at the service line with the Scots up 10-9, and after the run of kills by Kuiphoff and O'Brien, Miller blasted an ace to put her team up 15-9. The Scots had a run of win­ ning ten of 12 points. They led 20-1 I at the end of that run. Kuiphoff would finish with a team-high 15 kills, while O'Brien added ten. Kuiphoff also had 11 digs.

She knows, even when she's not facing the other side, she knows where to put the ball and she executes it." Reyni Harvey led the Fighting Scot block, finish­ ing with ten. Hanna Lahiff had nine blocks of her own. “She’s finally understand­ ing ‘the net is not my friend,’" Langworthy said of Harvey. “She's getting her timing down. She's reading her hitters instead of just jumping and looking at the ball. Or, she's just really lucky I don't know." TK head coach Patty Pohl thought that putting up an effective block was something her team struggled with, as well as other areas on defense. “We were standing up on defense,” Pohl said. “We weren't ready for the unex­ pected. Their setter dumped quite a few balls effectively, because we were standing up straight no expecting her to do that. And, we didn't cover our hitters. When our hitters got blocked we didn't cover. iW 1 I didn't think we had any blocks except in the first game. We got blocked." TK was a little off overall in the second game because a line-up error. “I tried to rotate it three rotations, so my setter wasn’t blocking their best hitter, because my setter is the shortest one out there and 1 screwed it up. said coach Pohl. The Trojans trailed by as many as eight points in the third set before putting up a late charge, that at one point had them within one at 2221. “We re definitely improv­ ing all the time," coach Pohl said. “The ref said something nice. He said ‘that’s the best TK team I’ve seen in 12 years.' it's nice to hear something positive after a frustrating night.” Erin Ellinger had a mostly positive night for TK, finish­ ing with 12 kills and ten digs. Sydney LeMay added some nice quick hits to finish with seven kills. Alaina Pohl had 30 assists for the Trojans.. Molly Lark had a teamhigh 21 digs to go along with two aces, and Sydney Krol chipped in ten digs. The Trojans are now 1-4 in the O-K Gold Conference. TK takes on Ottawa Hills at home this Thursday, while the Fighting Scots return to league action Thursday at Forest Hills Eastern.

Briggs said the district currently has 1,200 comput­ ers with software installed. “But now we are moving away from that model," said Briggs. “We are looking at how to improve collabora­ tion through technology in the district." The technology depart­ ment is focusing on devices, safe and scalable. The TK network and a guest network are separated. The guest net- work is just Internet access. Briggs explained that the move to Google Docs and other Google applications is at no charge for schools. The district is not getting rid of current Microsoft Office not computers. He explained that devices are tools to accomplish what is needed. There is a new focus on the elementary schools. He told the board that education­ al technology is to support curriculum.

Yarger said after the fire Thursday, Oct. 6, he approached Barry County Zoning Administrator Jim McManus about putting a single-wide trailer on his property until a new home could be built. “When you’re standing there in your last pair of underwear, the fire chief from Hastings’ shoes, some shorts and a T-shirt under the seat of your pickup truck, you have a different view on things; and, the first thing you get is, ‘No, you have to put in a double-wide; we don't allow single-wides for anything,’" he said. “After a little quizzing, because there is (a single-wide out on M43), I was told you could apply for variance. Yarger said he thought should McManus have offered the option of apply­ ing for a variance when he said no to the single-wide trailer. “I don't think it should be a secret,” said Yarger, who added that he was told get­ ting the variance could take two to three months. “This is for everybody • • • wearing the shoes 1 wore that day,” said Yarger through tears. “ ... It should be easy. But, it was Thursday, the zoning board of appeals met Monday night. Yes, 1 know you have to be on the agenda 10 days, two weeks, ahead of time ... but, I would think, no matter who it is ... they should be able to slip that in ... 1 was told that it was that way until 2008. 1 don't know if they forgot it, or if it was missed ... but since then, we haven’t had that option with­ out going to the board of appeals. 1 would think that if it was a mistake, mistakes should be able to be fixed if anywithin three years body is worried about fixing them.” “I’m sorry, but I’ve seen a pattern in this since I've been in office, with Jim McManus and people being displeased with the way he functions,” said Barry County Commissioner Joe Lyons. “Who is going to look into this? I've known Russ for years. I've known other peopie. I hear it constantly about this man [McManus] ... I think it needs to be looked See BOARD, page 15 Caledonia resident finalist for governor's service award by Fran Faverman Staff Writer Caledonia resident Walid Ahmed Azam is one of four finalists for the youth volun­ teer category of Gov. Rick Snyder’s service awards pro­ gram. He lives with his mother, Zahira Azam, and his brothers, Khalid and Mustafa, in Caledonia. He is a graduate of Crestwood Alternative High School in the Kentwood Public School System. According to a press by the release issued Michigan Community Service Commission, Azam and his family emigrated from Afghanistan to the United States after the death of his father, who was killed in a Taliban attack. Walid was 9 years old at the time. Janet Sall, who nominated Azam for the award and leadership teaches at Crestwood Alternative High School, said he became a student in her program when his difficulties with English as a second language led to problems with acquiring credits for graduation. She said he now counts English among the five languages he sneaks speaks fluently. He is enrolled in the nursing pro­ gram at Grand Rapids Community College and plans to become a registered nurse. His career as a volunteer began in St.- Louis, Mo., when his sister asked him to help her clean up around their neighborhood. He agreed and has not stopped volunteering. He has coordi­ nated blood drives at Crestwood • and has organ­ ized coat drives, as well as serving in leadership roles on Grand Rapids Mayor George Heartwell’s youth council. He also participates in a mentoring program at an ele­ school mentary in Kentwood. Why does he do it? Sall said, “Because he believes it is the right thing to do. When 1 filled out the form to nomi­ nate him, 1 couldn't list all the things he has done. He has a high level of energy and wants to give back to the community; he and his fami­ ly are so grateful for the opportunities and respect they have found in the United States." Azam and Sall will attend the reception and perform­ ance of “Evening with the Stars” at the Gem Theatre in Detroit Oct. 24 when the awards will be announced.

It is a partnership of the Thomapple Kellogg Schools, the Village of Middleville and Thomapple Township. She talked about the accomplishments of the group, including youth pro­ grams, and challenges facing the TAPRC today. One of the challenges includes the need for new softball fields. The audit for the schools was praised by board mem­ ber Don Haney for being an unqualified, which is the highest rating possible. Director Finance Chris Marcy also discussed the audit and praised her staff for the work they did.

Briggs closed his presenta­ tion saying that the goal of new technology is to get rid of walls. The board also heard from Catherine Beyer, director of the Thomapple Area Parks and Recreation Commission, who talked about the collab­ oration within the group. She explained that the TAPRC of which she has been director of since June, / information officer for the department, said, “MRSA is usually just a skin infection. It is highly treatable and can be treated by any physician. The risk for spreading is skin-to-skin contact. We rec­ ommend plenty of hand­ washing and reducing shar­ ing of personal items such as towels and razors." Much has been written about MRSA and its dan­ gers; LaPlante emphasized that the Caledonia case rep­ resents one of the more easi­ ly treated and less dangerous strains of the organism. “The people most at risk are those with weakened immune systems," she said. “The [Centers for Disease Control] has an excellent website with photographs. If a parent sees something that looks like one of them, the child should be seen by a physician." The CDC website is www.cdc.gov/mrsa. Jerry Phillips, district superintendent, said that a couple of MRSA infections had been found in the last school year, too; the current case is probably the first of this year. “What we do," he said, “is let the parents know and clean the buildings fol­ lowing the recommendations of the health department. MRSA infections have been around for a long time."

That is the goal of the three groomers who care for dogs (and cats) al this new pet salon that opened at 4525 N. M-37 in the Town Center Mall in Middleville. Bella Kane celebrated its grand opening Oct. 2. Now it is open for appointments from 9 a m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. Arrangements for appoint­ ments on weekends can be made by calling 269-7955263. Everyone is encouraged to wipe their paws when visit­ ing Bella Kane. The three groomers, Lindsay Williams, Morgan Miller and Diane Walker, have more than 31 years of combined experience in the grooming business. They decided they wanted to make the experi­ ence healthier and more comfortable for both the pets and their owners. All three love animals and their jobs.

The space is safe for pets and the groomers and has stress-free, cage-free waiting for the dogs. Bella Kane also offers pet day care and carries a full 7 retirement. These numbers are obvi­ ously troubling — and they indicate that most of us prob­ ably need to put more thought and effort into our retirement savings. What can you do? Here are a few sug­ gestions: • Determine how much you’ll need in retirement. Try to define the lifestyle you want during retirement. Will you travel the world or stay close to home? Will you work part time or spend your hours volunteering or pursu­ ing hobbies? Once you know what your retirement might look like, try to estimate how much it might cost. • Identify your sources of retirement income. Take into account your IRA. 401 (k) or other employer-sponsored S oc i a I retirement plan. Security and other savings and investments. How much income will they provide? How much can you with* draw from these vehicles each year without depicting them? • Calculate any retirement shortfall. Try to determine if your savings and invest­ ments will be enough to pro­ vide you with an income stream that’s adequate to meet your retirement needs. If it isn’t, develop an esti­ mate of the size of the short­ fall. • Take steps to close sav­ ings “gap.” If it doesn’t look Caledonia Fino us like you’ll have enough to meet sour retirement needs, you may consider adjusting vour savings and investment strategy. This may mean contributing more to your IRA. 40l(k) and other retire­ ment accounts. Or. perhaps your investment mix may need to be rev iewed to find a better balance growth poten­ tial with risk. Or you may need to take both of these steps. • Monitor your progress. Once you’ve pul your invest * ment strategy into place, you’ll need to monitor your progress to make sure you're on track toward achieving your retirement savings vour goals. Along the way, you may have to make adjust­ ments, if there are changes in your objectives or your specific situation. Taking these types of action can be challenging, so you may want to work with a professional financial advi­ sor w ho has the experiences and resources necessary to help you identify and work toward achieving your retire­ ment goals. In any case, though. National Save for Retirement Week is a great time to consider your course of action.

TK got the game-tying goal when Eric Jachim passed a ball ahead for team­ mate Josh Bremer, who raced up the right side and blasted a shot from a tough angle off of Caledonia keep­ er Joe Fifer. That shot deflected off of Fifer right back to Bremer, who sent the ball across the open goal mouth where it glanced off a Caledonia defender and into the net. Jachim and Bremer also contributed to the first Trojan goal. Bremer chipped the ball ahead for teammate Noah Deih, who met the ball and Fifer at the same instant. Those two collided, with the ball skipping out to Jachim who shot it into the open net in the 44th minute. “They played hard. They played tough." Thomapple Kellogg head coach Larry Jachim said of his players. “They did exactly what we asked them to do as coaches. There are those athletes that listen, but we actually have those athletes that do what we ask. We shifted gears second half and lied it up and did a great job." Senior forward Henry Specs was responsible for the Fighting Scots building their 2-0 lead in the game. He headed in a free kick from teammate Luke Bestrom in the 22nd minute to put the Fighting Scots up 1- 0. then in the 42nd minute was able to get a good shot off in a crowd in front of the TK net that put the Scots up 2- 0. “You can't win that game or even be in that situation without senior leadership." Caledonia head coach Blair Lincoln said following the overtime win. “I was a little disappointed. We got a little complacent there, and gave up too. Much to their credit, they fought tooth and nail. This test is actually perfect timing." The Scots open postsea­ son play Tuesday at home against Forest Hills Central at 6 p.m. in the Division I District Tournament they're hosting.

Robert Commissioner Houtman asked Yarger if he had started the appeal process. .“No, I haven’t got the paperwork, it will be next month,” he replied. “Are you going to have to appeal to the ZBA?” asked Houtman. “Yes,” said Yarger. “Where are you in the meantime?” asked Houtman. “You’re given grace to live in the single-wide ...” “No,” said Yarger. “The company won t put it in until they know it is okay ...” “You’re talking about temporary housing only,” said commissioner Dan Parker. it would be a “Right trailer to live in until February or March,’ said Yarger. “We’re going to tear our house down and build another one right at the same spot. And, yes, we have ani­ mals; we’d like to be there. And, like those folks on [M]43, [people] were stealing stuff out of their garage the so, we’d like to next day be there, we’re off the road ... start building a new house.” Houtman, referencing and appeal to the county board in August and September from Rex and Krista Jones regard­ ing a permit for the Jones’ outdoor kennel, kennel. which McManus denied, suggested the county board waive the appeal fee for Yarger as it had for the Joneses. “I think they should be more flexible in emergency situations,” said commis­ sioner Howard Gibson. Houtman asked Yarger where he was currently liv­ ing. Yarger said he and his wife were staying with their daughter but added that, while the insurance company would pay for them to stay in a hotel, the goal is for the homeowner to have housing on the site, set up and livable in seven days. j ’ hl Julie Ann Coon ixg ti i ; a- O’ r LLC AgT *• i Reiki Master Practitioner Putting you 6ac6 "in Safance* Caff today to > e HAIR DESIGNERS 122 E.

They’re still willing to go out and sacrifice to get something done,” Thornapple Kellogg head coach Chad Ruger said. “You could tell as the game progressed they started to believe. ‘This really can hap­ pen.”’ Kicker Nate Iveson capped off the Trojan comeback with a 28-yard field goal with 38 seconds left on. the clock, after an Ottawa Hills fumble •n that was stripped out by Cody Clouse allowed the Trojans’ one final drive. “I told him, he’s that odd shaped tool in your tool box,” Ruger said of his senior kick­ er. “You might not use it very often, but when you need it you know it's there and you know it’s going to work.” • Iveson also booted a suc­ cessful on-side kick after the Trojans scored their first points of the game on a 21yard touchdown run by DJ Nolff and a two-point pass from quarterback Dylan VanPutten Caden to Francisco in the opening sec­ onds of the fourth quarter.

The Trojans fumbled away their first possession of the second half. Ruger said the offensive line really picked up its play as the game went on, allowing the Trojans to run over the Bengals.

At a previous committeeof-the-whole meeting, coun­ cil members had discussed their willingness to consider a contractual arrangement with a firm established by Moffat, West Michigan Design Center LLC. However, at the Oct. 18 meeting, village attorney Mark Nettleton told council that Moffat will have to resign from the village before this agreement can be approved in order to safe­ guard Moffat’s state retire­ ment provisions. Following an intense dis­ cussion of a suggested plan which would allow the vil­ lage to continue working with Moffat only until the end of 2011, council decided to allow a revised contract overseen by Nettleton to be on the agenda of the Oct. 25 council meeting. Moffat's wife, Joyce Lutz, a member of the council, abstained from the vote. In addition, Council will begin working with village manager Rebecca Fleury on a bid package to go out so that the council can make a decision about planning services before the start of 2012. Council members also dis­ cussed ways to fund capital improvement projects for the village, deciding to return to this issue after setting a list of needs and wants. Staff will work on a list of the most pressing projects facing the village in the next two to three years. These will be combined with sug­ gestions for possible projects suggested by trustees. All projects will be discussed at a future committee-of-thewhole meeting, including costs and ways to fund the projects, before going to the council for possible approval. The possible extension of the Renaissance Zone for the ChemQuest property at 8675 Crane Road also produced interesting consideration. Fleur}' reported that she was notified on Oct. 12 that the state may consider an exten­ sion of the Renaissance Zone property if the village council and the Barry County Board of Commissioners also approved an agreement. The proposal being considered would be a five-year extension with two years at 100 percent exemption and the remaining three years being phased back. The village of Middleville and the Barry County Commissioners would have to authorize extending the Renaissance Zone with a res­ olution by Nov. 14. The village would then have to have a development agreement with ChemQuest, which is moving from a facility in Yankee Springs, by Dec. 14 to be forwarded to the board of the Michigan Development Economic Commission by Dec. 21. The estimated cost to the village's general fund is esti­ mated to be $132,000. The issue was added to the agenda for the Oct. 25 coun­ cil meeting to which Fleury told the council that she will bring updated information. The council will also for­ ward a recommendation on the Oct. 25 meeting agenda to have Chuck Heckman fill the vacancy on the planning commission when left Cheryl Myers resigned. Council also approved putting acceptance of juris­ diction over Finkbeiner Road and Crane Road which is part of the new bridge project on the agenda. The next Village of Middleville Council meeting is Tuesday, Oct. 25, at 7 p.m. The next scheduled committee-of-the-whole meeting is at 4;30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 1. It will be focused on the budget for 2012. 1 Sidewalk repairs, ordinance enforcement occupy Caledonia council meeting BriT nbeW q X te 53 sdT rigiH it bnr> iq llrw J 2H33 V isay m.q V io) ibuE odT S)2 3d J .2gfiO2 nimoG zbr/fiG nA (d bnE The Thornapple Kellogg High School Jazz Band will perform in concert Wednesday, Oct. 26 at 7:30, following the TKHS Honors Choir concert which begins at 7 p.m. TK honors choir, jazz band concert is Wednesday The Thornapple Kellogg High School Honors Choir and the TKHS Jazz Band will present their first con­ certs of the 2011-12 school year Wednesday, Oct. 26, at 7 p.m. in the high school auditorium.

Trustees Dan Erskine and Todd Grinage have walked all of the sidewalks in the vil­ lage and have compiled a list of those needing repairs. According to Grinage, the majority of the most-needed repairs are the result of the continuing expansion of tree roots into the sidewalk areas. Along the way, both said they 1 have noted other anomalies, such as driveway aprons composed of different materi­ als than the driveway and the deteriorated state of curbing on some streets, Following a walk-through with a contractor, who Grinage said offered helpful ‘ the data ’ ■ suggestions, he said for" preparation of a bid would be available request within the week. Erskine has focused on enforcement of the snow removal ordinance, especially in the Main Street business district.

In official business, the Council approved motions to establish an opt out provision for the township's health insurance plan, to establish the cost split for new work­ ers for health insurance at 25 percent, and to appoint Williams and Works to update the maps of the town- See TOWNSHIP, pg. 15 cutting engendered by declin­ ing revenues, the village council reluctantly voted two years ago to discontinue a contract for snow removal on the sidewalks on Main Street and notified property owners that the responsibility for snow removal would be entirely theirs. He said results have been mixed; some property owners have removed snow promptly from their walks and some adjoining properties. According to Roger Loring with the department of public works, the basic problem is that there is no place to put the snow; the department removes snow by hauling it away in trucks. With merchants now responsible tor snow removal, the work occurs throughout the morn­ ing, making additional trips by the DPW necessary. Sandy Ayers, village clerk and manager said a letter would go out shortly to property owners reminding them of their obligation to remove snow promptly. Erskine, dur­ ing the final council comment period, floated the idea of a special assessment district for the area. The process for establishing such a district will be investigated. The purchase of a new snowplow for use with a 2000 truck currently in use also was discussed. Quotes for the plow had been received from Ebling and Son, Blacksmiths, and B&B Truck Equipment. The second quote at $4,587 is for a plow similar to the one needing replacement. The plow would fit the existing undercarriage on "the truck; however, when the truck is replaced, a new undercarriage would be required. The quote of $4,834 from Ebling and Son is for a different plow, which, according to Loring, is larger with a wing that can be adjusted. He estimated the wing would pro­ vide extra plowing capacity and allow greater plowing efficiency, resulting in a sav­ ings on labor costs to the vil­ lage. The council voted unani­ mously to accept the Ebling quote for a Blizzard wing plow.

Forshee gave an entertain­ ing and hands-on presenta­ tion that captured the attention of these young students.

Forshee studied farming operations at Iowa State University and helped devel­ op and manage the Domino's Pizza Petting Farm in Ann Arbor. In 1993, he developed a mobile education farm cen­ ter known as Barnyard Express. The McFall PTO provided funding for this event which has become a favorite assem­ bly of the McFall students.

The defensive line put pressure on their quarterback.” The Trojan defense forced the Sailors into four turnovers, a pair of interceplions and a pair of fumbles. South Christian did lead 13-7 in the first half thanks to an 11-yard touchdown run by Hayden Youngs, and a 13yard touchdown pass from Youngs to Jason Miller. TK quarterback Dylan VanPutten scored the game's first points, on a 7-yard touchdown run in the first quarter, then put his team up again, 14-13, with another short touchdown run late in the second quarter. That would have been enough points thanks to the * - - - Trojan defense, but TK's offense tacked on a 20-yard touchdown run by Dan Dykstra in the third quarter and a two-yard TD by VanPutten, his third TD of the night, in the fourth. VanPutten finished with 28 rushes for 104 yards. Ruger said the Trojan offense mm a m moved better in the second half when he just let VanPutten make the play calls based on what he was seeing out on the field.

Both Bremer and Deih were on the sideline waiting to get back into the game when Gull Lake scored for the first time with 13:21 to play in regulation, on a long hard shot by Steven Tobias | who had an impressive sec ond-half performance. I It took less than a minute for the Trojans* top two for­ wards to team up to put their team back up by two goals. Bremer and Deih harassed the Devils deep in the Gull Lake end as they tried to clear a free kick following an offside call on the Trojans.

Gull Lake just missed get­ ting the game-winner in reg­ ulation as Tobias won a Gull Lake free kick and turned and lofted a shot over the TK defense that glanced off the far post and wide. The Trojans had a hard time clearing the ball away from the front of their net at times throughout the second half. It was the second straight overtime loss for the Trojans, who also fell in overtime to Caledoina to close O-K Gold Conference action. TK ends the season with a 13-6 record, after a fourth place finish in the OK Gold Conference.

A pack of Fighting Scots 11th, 12th, 13th, 15th and 16th at Tuesday's O-K Gold Conference Cross Country Meet at Johnson Park, help­ ing Caledonia's varsity boys’ team to another con­ ference championship. Caledonia was led by league runner-up Mason Przybysz, who finished the race in 16 minutes 32.8 sec­ onds, but it was that pack that really got the job done. “We stuck together and coach told us that this pack, we had to stay together and beat one of the Forest Hills Eastern kids to win it,” said Fighting Scot senior Spencer Plattner, who was 12th in 17:45. “The race was kind of on us. It was some pressure, but we got it done.” It would have been tough to get it done if the Caledonia pack hadn't picked up the pace in the sec­ ond half of the race. The Scots wound up beating the Hawks by just six points 53 to 59. South Christian was third with 60 points, fol­ lowed by Catholic Central 115, Wayland 106, Thornapple Kellogg 131, Hastings 185 and Ottawa Hills 256. “That pack from 11 through 16, that was huge,” the said Thompson, Caledonia boys’ coach. “That’s what won the race for us. Obviously Mason being up front is huge too, but it usually comes down to your third, fourth and fifth and where they're at. That was big time for us. “At one point about halfway through the race (the Hawks) had their first four guys in front of our second guy.

Lawson fell down in that dual with South Christian, and finished behind the Sailors' top three runners. Lawson and Straube made the most of the opportunity Tuesday. “My goal for about two years now is to beat Casey third in 19:28.8, and South Christian freshman Alexis Miller who was fourth in 19:37.5. Miller was actually lead­ ing for much of the race, but took a wrong turn with about 400 meters to go. Things like that happen. Lawson was beaten by four different runners during the Darby 15th in 18:00 and Austin Vanlaar 16th in 18:02. Rossman and Przybysz were the only returning run­ ners from last year's confer­ ence championship team. Plattner said there’s a mix of competitiveness and camaraderie amongst the runners in the pack. “It's kind of a little of both,” he said. “We usually vary from race to race. Sometimes you have bad days and sometimes y ou have good days. Today we all had a pretty good day. Jake Rossman, who I'm usu­ ally with, we're always real­ ly close together. Whenever I'm with him we try to pace each other, because I'm pushing him and he's push­ ing me. We just continually go faster." past Rossman edged Plattner in the final ten meters Tuesday. Kellogg's Thornapple Dustin Brummel was the third of three guys to break the 17-minute mark in the race, finishing in 16:40. TK also had David Walter ninth in 17:37, Daniel Vannette 38th in 19:11, Conor Leach 40th in 19:16 and Mac Gaikema 41st in 19:28. Thornapple Kellogg jun­ ior Casey Lawson had never won a varsity race before this fall. Now, she's the O-K Gold Conference champion with a target on her back. Lawson raced to victory in the girls’ championship, hit­ ting the finish line in 19:25.0. “Coming into the race I really just wanted to get top five,” said Lawson. “Once the gun went off and I didn't | see anyone coming up by me I just kind of took off and was like 1'11 just go win.” There were a few girls close to Lawson, including . Hastings sophomore Trista I Straube who was second in I 19:25.7, Forest Hills Eastern J junior Clara Cullen who was but farther back and I said ‘that is where you need to be! You've at least got to get their third and fourth man,' and they were able to. That was huge, and they heard me so that’s good.” Forest Hills Eastern did have three runners in front of the Fighting Scot pack, including individual champi­ on Mowgli Crosby who fin­ ished in 16:31.2. His team also had runners place fifth and seventh, but three Caledonia guys came in just ahead of the Hawks' fourth who was quickly followed by (WO more Scots.

They noticed Thomapple Kellogg senior Alex Banash sitting alone Saturday at Michigan State University's Forest Akers West Golf Course at the end of the Division 3 State Finals. A couple of the Sailors pulled their O-K Gold Conference rival over to the team circle, and shared a group hug with Banash who’d had a rough day. After a 107 on Friday, Banash shot a 120 Saturday to finish with a 36-hole total of 227 which was the highest score among the tourna­ ment’s 15 individual quali­ fiers. “She’s a real, what do I want to say, energetic golfer,” said Thornapple Kellogg varsity girls' golf coach Bob Kaminski. “She's always talking to the rest of the girls. She’s a good com­ petitor. I've never heard a negative thing. It’s always been positive comments from people that have played with her. They always seem to enjoy playing with her. She’s always up beat.” When she skipped a chip shot over the number one green, her final hole Saturday, she squatted down for a moment with her hands on her head. “I know she'll want to have done better, but I think she did pretty well,” said Kaminski. Banash would have liked to do a bit better. “When I did hit the ball well, it was good. I wouldn't say I played terrible.

Hastings senior Gabrielle Shipley ended her four-year varsity golf career with the win she’d been playing for all those years. She shot an 81-82-163 to earn her fourth state medal. “We were all crying together,” Shipley said of her three-some Saturday, which also included the top players from Detroit Country Day and Cranbrook-Kingswood. “It was a rough 18, but we got through it.” Her Hastings team was third with a score of 774, behind state champion Grosse He which scored a 760 and the Saxons' O-K Gold Conference rival South Christian which finished .at 770.

Mentally, this was just exhausting.” “I think under the condi­ tions, (Shipley's) 81-82 is fantastic golf. It’s a tough course. It was set up pretty tough, and these conditions they probably have never played 36 holes under these kinds of conditions in their life.” Banash practiced with Shipley during the summer. “Probably practicing with Gabby (Shipley) all summer (got me to the state finals),” said Banash. “1 don't know.

The Rangers snapped a 00 tie in their Division I boys ’ Cl soccer district . opener Tuesday at Caledonia with a crossing pass that deflected 11 off a Fighting Scot defender and into the back of the net. “I told them at halftime, ‘the first one is going to be an ugly one and we’ve got to force it until we get it. Once that happens then we’ll start getting better quality, good goals,’ and that was the case,” said Stacy after his team eliminated the host Scots from the state tourna­ ment with a 3-1 victory. “You push for it, you send the cross across, and you take your chances. If the ball goes through, we’ve got a guy there to finish it off. The defender didn’t really have a chance. When you’re recov­ ering like that, an early ball low is tough to defend. We were very happy to get that and were able to capitalize after that.” Forest Hills Central’s Lee Elisevich headed in a cross­ ing pass about five minutes . later, and then the Rangers took a 3-0 lead on a long shot i A ? ft fJjr ft Ki Fighting Scot senior Luke Bestrom applaudes the home fans and his team’s effort as he, Nathan Devries (left) and the rest of their teammates j across the field following their 3-1 loss to Forest Hills Central.

Henry Spees scored the first goal of the game for the Fighting Scots with 10:52 to play. Tom Andreano sent a bouncing ball to the top of the 18 where Spees was waiting.

Upjohn Institute is the main speaker. Bradford White and the Village of Middleville are sponsoring a table. White Bradford and Middleville want to share some of the exciting events happening in the area with those attending the summit and business expo. In other business, the council accepted jurisdiction of Finkbeiner and Crane ChemQuest and the village on the extension. Charlie Miller of United Water, which manages the Waste Water Treatment Plant, reported that high sodium levels were found in seven of nine wells. He told the council that there were high sodium lev­ els in 2006 and that village residents cleaned their sys­ tems by using potassium chloride instead of sodium chloride. This brought down the levels. Unfortunately, the cost of potassium chloride has dou­ bled since that time and there are more residents. He and Fleury will be bringing options to council to consid­ er on this problem? Fleury also announced that Bradford White will be holding a ground breaking Roads now in the village. The village will now qualify for Act 51 funds to maintain the roads. The council also approved the permit for the Middleville Lions Club for the Christmas parade on Saturday, Dec. 3. The line up is at 9:30 a.m. at McFall Elementary School. The parade starts at 10 a.m. ends at the Middleville United Methodist Church. The route is the same as in previous years. Council paid the current bills of $85,773.81. Council tabled discussion of the professional services agreement with West Michigan Design Center for planning and zoning services after a request by Geoft Moffat. Council member Sue Reyff told the council that she had checked with the vil­ lage's engineering firm Williams and Works on planning services. Reyff told the council, “rates begin at $63 an hour. Some staff charge $75-$8O an hour and the cost for the most qualified is $108 an hour.” The council did approve C.J.

Commissioner Ric Parent said the problem was a home-based business, which the ordinance limits to one nonfamily employee; the objective according to him is to move such businesses as they grow into a commercial zone. Warner observed that the business was bigger than a home-based business. Commissioner Mike Kelly said he was struggling with the length of time. Rep. Yonker rose to explain 24 years ago he bought a defunct landscaping business; the area was zoned agricultural. Before the land­ scaping business existed, the land had been a farm. “Nothing has changed," he said. “We have been good neighbors. The original buildings were built by the farmer.” Warner agreed there had been no complaints; "The issue,” he said, “is what will happen over the next 20 years.” Morris remarked that what was at issue was an ordinance. Kelly commented that the landscaping business was not a home business and should properly be a noncon­ forming use. Cavanaugh, returning to the discussion, said the home business ordi­ nance did not fit; the use of the property should be addressed. Wells observed that a non­ conforming use could be handled through an adminis­ trative review. Warner agreed, saying, "The lack of action by the township implies a tacit acceptance of it [the use] as legal." After instructing Wells to do some research on the requirements for an administrative review, a motion to table the applica­ tion for a special use permit was approved. Later in the meeting Commissioner Don Koopmans observed he was concerned about the quality of information the township was providing to persons with questions. He noted that See BUSINESS, pg. 2 44 44 44 In This Issue • TK approves mini notebook labs during special meeting • Thornapple Township planners approve extension for sand mine • Delton boys and TK girls win Barry County titles • TK/Hastings closes out undefeated season of duals I < •fl <•1 4 I 1 �* Page 2/The Sun and News, Saturday, O^ber-29p2Q4 k— BUSINESS, continued from page 1 Noll’s experience with being given misleading informa­ tion was not the first such incident to occur. The second project, an application for a site plan review by Tires 2000 of Caledonia to operate a retail and automobile repair and servicing facility at 9860 Cherry Valley Avenue, was by presented Douglas Stolsonburg, Exxel Engineering. The business would be located in an exist­ ing building between the Cobblestone Restaurant and the Dollar General store. The site has had much iteration and is a particularly difficult site because of requirements and limitations imposed by easements for utilities and storm water. A storm water detention facili­ ty is being relocated. Two shared easements are required for entrance and exit to the storm water deten­ tion facility. An application to the Michigan Department of Transportation for a per­ mit to discharge storm water into a MDOT right of way is also required. During the discussion Cavanaugh suggested that the question of signage be deferred until later. Her motion to approve the site plan was subject to issues raised in the letter from Wilcox Engineering (storm water calculations, permits, and shared easements) and by Wells (width of maneu­ vering aisle, number of tires on premises, cross access requirements for Dollar General, use of cutoff fix­ tures for • lighting, and requirements for shrubs for landscaping). The motion was approved. The final item on the agenda, a project by the Milestone Childhood Center to construct a day care center at 8270 Broadmoor Avenue in the Valley Point South Industrial Park Planned Unit Development, had been tabled at the July 18 meeting of the commission. This project is similar to the Adventures in Living Day Care Center planned in the Valley Point West Industrial Park; both will be virtually opposite each other on Broadmoor/Cherry Valley Avenue.

Gunnink observed that MDOT would impose rules when things change. Morris moved to recom­ mend to the township board approval to change the zon­ ing of Lot 8 in the PUD to commercial from light industrial. The motion passed 5-2, M. Kelly and Parent dissenting. The com­ mission proceeded to the site plan review; discussion con­ cerned stipulations for side­ walks, directional signage, the screening of utilities, and compliance with the require­ ments of the Broadmoor/Cherry Valley Overlay District. Koopmans moved to approve a prelimi­ nary site plan pending review by the township engi­ neers, fire chief Brian Bennett, and approval of the PUD amendment. The motion passed.

Warner said the role of government was to provide infrastructure. Commissioner Kelly said, “I disagree.” He added that he appreciated the applicant’s willingness to set money aside. Wells reminded the com­ mission that there were two issues before it: amending the PUD to permit a com­ mercial venture and a site plan request. Warner moved to address the PUD by unt­ abling the request made in July, Commissioner Kelly noted the use would allow a capacity of 150-160 persons, the limit imposed by the size •J of the building, people would be coming into the facility from the east and the west.

The commission indicat­ ed that a traffic study by the applicant was necessary. An unsigned note refer­ ring to the July meeting says the applicants had correspon­ dence with township planner Lynee Wells, supervisor Bryan Harrison, and some other board members, in an attempt to find a solution that would enable the project to move forward. At the July meeting, “a recommendation was made to have us do a traffic study. We felt this was an unreasonable request do (sic) to the fact that we have an approved PUD ... we could see that our unwilling­ ness to not do something would not move the project forward.” The note also referred to an MDOT meeting at which the agency acknowledged there is a problem on M-37 and that they were looking for funds to do a traffic study. “This may require some cost sharing with the township.

Three sets will be housed at Page Elementary and the other three at Lee Elementary. The TK Board of Education approved the pur­ chase of a total ?of 192 HP mini-notebooks from Hewlett Packard in the amount of $72,960 to be paid from the 2007 Capital Projects Fund. Though the mini-notebook purchase was the only item on the agenda, the Board needed to meet in special session due to the expiration of a special discount offered by HP until the end of - Octpber. The special board action saved the district 10 percent on the purchase cost. The cost for the 192 mini note books at $380 each was $72,960.

On the day he sustained his injury, he was on patrol in the streets of Fallujah when a man with a rocket-propelled grenade appeared in his line of sight. Hoffman was hit in the neck and his spinal cord was sev­ ered at the base of his neck. A host of inspiring fund raising efforts have come to his aid. The Homes for our Troops organization and local volun- teers constructed a home for Josh near Middleville in 2008. It was the first home in Michigan constructed by the national non-profit organiza­ tion which is located in Massachusetts. Area residents contributed to the effort including Thornapple Kellogg School children whose fund raising contributed toward decorat­ ing the home.

She was born January 29, 1953, in Grand Rapids, the daughter of Louis a n d Barbara (Pastoor) Veenstra. Nancee graduated from Grand Rapids Christian High School in 1971 and received her bachelor's degree in edu­ cation from Western Michigan University. Nancee's family owned Pastoor Family Grocery Store in Middleville, and after graduation she decided to join the family business. She worked managing every department in the store, help­ ing out where she was need­ ed the most. When the store was sold in 2000, Nancee decided to retire. On January 17, 1991, she married James T. Cole. The couple enjoyed their wonder­ ful life together. They trav­ eled to many scenic destina­ tions, including her favorite; Glacier National Park. They were dedicated members of the Middleville Wesleyan Church, where Nancee helped with the Pioneer Club, served on the church board, and loved to sing dur­ ing the service. She enjoyed doing crafts and quilting, and made a quilt for each baby at the church, and for the graduates in her family. Cooking and baking were one way she spread her love. Each dish was made with Nancee's love baked right in, from her monkey bread, dutch pea soup, or tator-tot casserole, to her Thanksgiving feast. Nancee had a heart for giving. She listened closely to each conversation she had with you, and therefore always knew the perfect gift; or knew how to help when you needed it the most. Above all, she was a very special grandma and made each grandchild feel extra special to her. She gave them the best hugs, let them pick flowers from her beautiful garden, and had each of their favorite treats waiting for them when they came to visit. Nancee is survived by her husband Jim Cole; her par­ ents: Lou and Barb Veenstra of Middleville; her children. Jim and Renee Cole of Auburn Hills, Debra and Bill Snyder of Ada, and Doreen and George Selden of Arkansas; grandchildren, Ashley and Stephen Snyder, Thomas and William Selden, and Cameron Cole; her sis­ ter, Carol and Kevin Roberts and their children, Justin, Katie, and Ashleigh; several nieces and nephews; and her faithful canine companion Izzi.

October 29, 2011 Thornapple area looking to start a boys lacrosse program A spring season for a local lacrosse program in the Thomapple area is the goal of organizers Annie Halle and Janis Fitzgerald who have begun approaching area students, parents, and organ­ izations to build interest and to gauge potential. According to Halle, “Lacrosse is the fastestgrowing team sport in the country. It combines some of the besj aspects of other sports into one unique sport, allowing players of all sizes and skill sets the ability to contribute. Although we have a ways to go, the com­ munity as always has been incredibly supportive in helping us get organized and develop the program. Right now we are gauging interest to help us determine our next steps." The group is planning to hold a lacrosse clinic this winter to introduce the sport to students and to begin to build skills. "At this point, we are con­ centrating% on boys in grades five to eight.” said •• Fitzgerald. Once we have established our footing in this area, it is our intention to open it to other age groups as well as to begin a girl s lacrosse program, which is significantly different from •11 boy's lacrosse." Anyone interested in sign­ ing up to participate is encouraged to visit TKBOYSLAX^gmail.com or call Fitzgerald at 269-7951165 or Halle at 269-9458835.

This true story of breath­ taking courage, selflessness, faith that good will over­ come evil and the willing­ ness to die for one's beliefs will ring true in every heart. The efforts of The White Rose, referred to once as "quite possibly the single most heroic feat in European history", are an inspiring tribute to the goodness of humanity shining even in the darkest moments of history. The Caledonia High School Players, under the direction of Cole Grootian, will present a dramatization of this true story at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 4 through Saturday, Nov. 5, in the Caledonia High School Fine Arts Center. Presented by the Caledonia High School Players Nov. 3,4, & 5 at 7p.m. each evening. Tickets are $3 for students and $5 for adults at the door.

Graham said the earliest burial she has found at what was previously known as Pleasant Hill Cemetery, within the village of Freeport, is from 1853. Graham studied lists held by the historical society and records of the Freeport Cemetery sexton to discover that more than 40 of the bur­ ial sites in the cemetery were those of Civil War veterans. She noted that William Godfrey was a prisoner of war. He was held at Andersonville Prison in Georgia for seven months. George Geiger is a direct ancestor (great-great-grand­ father) to Ron Geiger of Geiger Printers of Freeport At least one of the burial sites, that of Jacob Wallace, is for a Confederate soldier. “Jacob’s parents and sib­ lings settled in Ashland County and Richland County, Ohio,” said Graham. Her research shows that, in 1860, Jacob Wallace was in Black River, Lawrence County, Ark., with his wife, Nancy, and daughter, Mollie. He also had two slaves. His real estate value was $1,227, and he had personal assets of $8,350. “So he had great wealth before the war, war,” noted Graham.

At that time, he has four servants.” Graham learned that in 1880, Mary Lightfoot, (Jacob's future wife), was in Richland County, Ohio. “I suspect that Jacob head­ ed back home and either [saw] Mary (Yoha) Lightfoot again or met her in Barry County,” she said. By 1881, Wallace was married to Mary (Yoha) Lightfoot, in Barry County. His brother William also ended up in Barry County after 1880, according to Graham. Her research began with /• '* 4 & '.

Using death dates from this list, she was able to search for obituaries which gave her more information about the men and their fam­ ilies. “Peter Wilbert died in a tragic wagon accident,” she said. “James Murphy was found in the woods resting against a tree, along with his watch, $42 and his pension papers.” The youngest Civil War soldier buried in Freeport Cemetery is Theodore Richardson, who came home on disability and died at his parents’ home Oct. 12, 1863, at age 22. The last known Civil War soldier to be buried in Freeport Cemetery is Dr. Henry Peckham, who died March 12, 1939. Peckham was 93 at the time of his death. Other Civil War veter­ ans who saw similar longevi­ ty were Horace Ludlow, 86; Hezekiah Draper and Michael Roush, 88; David Moulton, 89; and Walter Coates, 91.

Others left it all out on the course. Delton Kellogg's Ryan Watson left “it” on the course soon after the start. His teammate left “it” on the course on his way towards the finish line. Their efforts, along with those of teammates Zach Haas, Billy Schut, Kannon Hoffman and others helped the Delton Kellogg varsity boys' cross country team to the championship at Monday afternoon's Barry County Meet hosted by Maple Valley at Mulberry Fore Golf Course in Nashville. Thornapple Kellogg’s girls dealt with some illness as well, but their sick runners stayed home. That left head coach Tammy Benjamin a little shocked at the end of the day. “I was surprised because we're missing three kids with the flu. Three out of the top eight. My kids aren't usually sick. When I was get- ? ting those phone calls today, I was just surprised. We re not that big. I didn't think, even with the county meet I didn't think, we're that deep. The kids ran great, but I gen­ uinely was surprised. It looked like it was going to be close. Good for them. I'll take it.” Her girls won by seven­ points over runner-up Delton Kellogg 41 to 48.

That wasn’t a problem Thursday, as the Trojans scored a 109-77 victory over host Calvin Christian at Grandville Middle School in the final O-K Rainbow dual of the season. The Trojans improved to 7-0 in the league, and will have the lead in the confer­ ence heading into next week­ end's conference meet which they’ll host in Hastings. “This team has some absolute swimmers," Thornapple Kellogg head coach Carl Schoessel of Calvin Christian. “We had to think a lot about what we had to do to come out on top.” Schoessel came up with moving some swimmers around in the line-up. and making sure everyone knew the places where they needed to finish. “Kaylee DeMink swam in the first relay and then swam in the next event. She did that twice, she also swam in the (200-yard) freestyle relay and then swam in the backstroke," Schoessel said. “We felt we had to do that in order to get the points there that she could give us, even though she obviously wasn't going to get her best times because she was tired from the previous event. She did what she had to do.” DeMink swam the third leg of the 200-yard medley and helped the Trojan team, which also included Kayla Strumberger, Alexa Schipper, and Kayla Kroells to victory in 1 minute 57.67 seconds. DeMink followed that up with a second-place time of 2:16.71 in the 200-yard freestyle, behind only team­ mate Hannah Bashore who finished in 2:14.92. “A lot of times this season I've been in the 100-backstroke right after the 200 relay, so I wasn't as worried about that one because I The Thornapple Kellogg/Hastings girls cheer on teammate Alexis Kelly as she races with Calvin Christian’s Andrea Tiejema in the 500-yard freestyle Thursday evening at Grandville Middle School.

She was hoping to finish in under four hours, and missed it by just three tenths of a second. Steensma wasn’t just run­ ning for fitness or for time in Chicago. She was also run­ ning for a cause Opportunity Enterprises. She raised about $1,400 in pledges leading up to the race.

A short description of Live, Love and Hope states that readers will witness one man's love and devotion to his wife “in sickness and in health. Andrew walks read­ ers through the inspirational life of his wife, Sally Lake. The book includes ‘Updates' of the blog she kept." “She lived a courageous, spunky, and soulful five years beyond her initial prognosis," Andrew says. The book is available in paperback or in electronic form. One hundred percent of the proceeds from this book will be dedicated to the Andrew and Sally Lake charitable Fund to offer a continuing legacy with the goal of providing annual scholarships for those bat­ tling cancer, disease or other illnesses, as well as those seeking higher education. “Sally said that many times the battling of an ill­ ness deteriorates the finan­ cial resources by which peo­ ple can support higher learn­ ing,” relates Andrew. “It was her wish and the wish of our family that this book be the start to breaking down those barriers by providing finan­ cial assistance in addition to providing the recipients an expanded support network." Before writing the book Andrew spoke with many of Sally’s friends who con­ tributed stories he included in the book. For more information about this book go to info@sally lakecancerhope, c om.

According to a recent study from the U.S. Fire Administration, residential clothes dryer fires were asso­ ciated with 12,700 fires nationally, resulting in 15 deaths and 300 injuries annu­ ally. Clothes dryers may seem harmless, but failure to pro­ vide proper maintenance can have deadly results. Avoiding a dangerous situa­ tion is actually pretty easy in most cases, just think ‘air flow,’ said Kurt Dettmer, vice president of marketing for Fremont Insurance. “A significant buildup of lint can block the flow of air, which can result in excessive heat which can result in fires,” said Dettmer. “Failure to complete simple maintenance, such as minor cleaning, is the leading con­ tributing factor for clothes dryer fires in homes.” Here are some steps to avoid creating a dangerous situation. Every use: • Clean lint screen and compartment and brush off any remaining lint before or after each use of the dryer. • If fabric softener or any product to reduce static elec­ tricity is used, periodically wash the screen in warm soapy water to eliminate film buildup that restricts air flow. • Inspect the screen for even lint distribution and tears, and replace immediate­ ly to prevent overheating or lint passing into the duct and restricting air flow. • Do not open the lint panel while the tumbler is in operation. Quarterly: • Inspect Inspect thethe duct, dampers and access covers for damage. • Clean all removable parts and make sure they operate freely. • Vacuum the duct to YOUR ANNUITY HAIRCUTS THAN RETHINK YOUR A Veterans Day ceremony at the Caledonia American Legion Post will be conduct­ ed in front of the Post on Cherry Valley Ave. (M-37) at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 11.

Old Time Methodist Church 5590 Whitneyville Ave., Alto MI Late fall marks the beginning of the holiday season, which probably means that you’ll have a lot going on over the next couple of months. However, busy as you are, you'll want to take the time to review your employee benefits package, since November also is a popular month for employers to offer open enrollment. And the decisions you make now could have a big impact on your financial outlook for years to come. So, if you are in an open enrollment period, here are some steps you may want to take: • Boost your 401(k) contri­ butions. It's almost always a .good idea to put in as much as you can, up to the contri­ bution limit, in your 401(k) or similar retirement plan. After all, you typically con­ tribute pre-tax dollars, so the more you put in, the lower your taxable income. Also, your money can grow on a tax-deferred basis, which means it has the potential to grow faster than an invest­ ment for which you paid taxes every year. At the very least, contribute enough to earn your employer’s match if one is offered. For exampie, if you work for an organ­ ization that will match 50 percent of everything you put in up to, say, 6 percent of your salary, then you should contribute 6 percent of your salary — which is like getting a three percent raise. • Rebalance your 401(k) portfolio. You may have a dozen or more investment options in your 401(k). Ideally, you ll want to spread your money among these options in a way that's Show, learned from industry leaders and exchanged experiences with other youn oo people across the nation.

For example, if you've invested in a couple of ^aggressive-growth accounts, and these accounts have gained significantly in value, they may now be tak­ ing up a greater percentage of your portfolio than you had originally intended. exposing you to more risk than you'd like. Consequently, if your plan doesn't offer an automatic rebalance option,, you may need to rebalance your port­ folio by moving some of your assets into less aggres­ sive vehicles. • Be cautious about adding company stock. You may be loyal to your employer, but try not to hold too much company stock in your 401 (k). After all, your com­ pany, like all businesses, may go through ups and downs, and if your portfolio is dominated by this single stock, you may experience considerable volatility. And if your company matches 'your 401(k) contributions with its own stock, you may want to invest all your own money in vehicles other than company stock. • Take all the insurance that's offered. Typically, when employers offer life insurance as a benefit, it's at little or no cost to you, so you'll probably want to take all that's offered. However, this amount may still be less than what you really need to fully protect your family, so you may well need to pur­ chase an individual policy to supplement your employer's coverage. And always be aware if your employer reduces or eliminates the insurance that's offered as an employee benefit, because you'll then need to adjust the policy that you've bought outside work. You can re review v i e w and improve your financial pic­ ture during open enrollment — so take advantage of this opportunity.

The caller said that between 5 and 5:30 p.m., two subjects had pulled up and taken the pile of firewood at the end of his driveway. He said he thought the vehicle was a silver Chevrolet truck. When the two young men did not come to pay for the wood, he called authorities. The case is closed. Saturday Hours! Call anytime for Sun & News I classified ads 269-945-9554 Professional Services!

The board approved a bid to rehabilitate Well No. 2 in the northwest area of the township. Robertson explained that the well has been declining both in the quality and quantity of water produced; three bids had been by received Infrastructure Alternatives Inc., the township utility contractor. The bids ranged from a low of $24,873 by < Layne-Christenson Company to a high of $33,800 from Raymer; Peerless Midwest. Inc. was in the middle at $29,891.

He refers to the event as the “first annual big buck and chili cookoff dinner.” Gray said the contest is unique because the buck must be harvested on the opening day of the state’s firearm deer hunting season. He does admit there is a slight risk that no hunter will be successful; but he said he believes that the area around Alto and Freeport has been so fruitful for hunters that the risk is worth taking. While the bucks are rest­ ing on the beds and tailgates of trucks and trailers await­ ing judgment, inside the church, the chili cookoff will be going on. Hunters may register their bucks from 6:30 to 8 p.m., and judging begins after reg­ istration is closed at 8 p.m. Prizes purchased through Bob’s Gun and Tackle in Hastings will be awarded from 8:30 to 9 p.m., follow* in the conclusion of the judging. The grand prize for the biggest buck (and in the event of a tie, the most points) is a new shotgun. Other hunting prizes include binoculars, trail cameras, and other gear. Other prizes to be awarded will go to the oldest hunter with a buck, the youngest hunter with a buck, and the biggest buck shot by a female hunter. 1^' z. One does not have to be a hunter or a chili cook to enjoy the event, he empha­ sized. “In a snapshot, people can bring out their bucks or not,” said Gray. “Just come to look at the bucks and enjoy a chili dinner.” He noted that there is also a prize for the winning chili; entrants for the chili contest may register online at www.elmdalenaz.org. ♦ I r I I < Winter is Right Around the Corner!

Locations with active populations include Brimley, Calumet/Laurium, Garden Corners, Munising, Sault Ste. Marie and St. Ignace.

He’s running fast, but also he’s leading by exam­ ple.” Brummel hasn't been pushed by his own team­ mates much lately, so Walter and him have been able to help each other out this fall. “David responded to that,” 16 Reynolds said. David is willing to put himself out there in practice and put him­ self on the line and do as many hard miles and as many hard intervals as he can and try to at least push Dustin from behind.” Walter did break Brummel s sophomore class on record Saturday. the top eight placers.

The Scots knocked off off Ottawa Hills and Byron Center in the first two rounds Byron Center 25-17, 25-18, by Brett Bremer &w -Is A A 25-14. “What a game," said Caledonia head coach Heidi Langworthy. “The energy and excitement exuding from the Fighting Scots was unbreakable. Our serve receive was excellent and the girls did a great job commu­ nicating and not letting the ball hit the floor without hit­ ting the floor first them­ selves.” Shelby O'Brien led the Scots with 15 digs on the night. Teammates Mackenzi Bredeweg and Alexis Miller added eight and seven digs respectively. Miller also led the Scots in aces with two, blocks with five and assists with 20. Rylee Kuiphoff had a team-high 14 kills for Caledonia, while O'Brien added ten. The Caledonia defense was strong at the net as well.

The Scots were scheduled to take on East Kentwood, a team listed among the honorable mention vote-getters in the state's Class A poll, in the district finals Friday. There wasn’t much energy or excitement in the gym at Forest Hills Central as the Scots topped O-K Gold Conference foe Ottawa Hills in the opening round Tuesday by the scores of 258, 25-4, 25-6. “When two teams aren't evenly matched, it's hard not to play below’ your potential. but I think all the girls that played and contributed and have all the stats are my non­ starters. That's always a pos­ itive thing,'' said Langworthy. Adrianna Bunce and McKayla Gehrls led the Scots in kills with five each. O'Brien added three. Miller did have a team-high four assists. McKinzie Arnold had 11 aces for Caledonia, while Miller and Jamie Ulanch had five each.

(Photo by Patricia Johns) by Patricia Johns Staff Writer All Saints Day was cele­ brated by St. Francis of Assisi Episcopal Church congregation in Orangeville Sunday, Nov. 6, as a day for family and friends to gather to remember those who have died. The celebration began with dedication of the sign created by Jerry Cox for the church just before his death Nov. 1, 2010. Cox was a graphic artist and sign maker. The sign he created for St. Francis was the last one he completed before his death. Rector Barbara Wilson opened the dedication, explaining that the sign was a gift from Jerry's hands. Materials and the rest of the funds needed for the sign were donated by his friends. Attending the dedication service were Cox’s wife, Anna; daughter, Sophia; and son Ty. “Jerry was kind and generI ous toward everyone,” said | Wilson. Also dedicated were lights donated following the death of Patty (Shoemaker) Higbee in December of 2010. These lights now illuminate the new sign so that everyone can find the church at 11850 Nine Mile Road in Orangeville. Higbee’s parents, George and Marge Shoemaker, are members of St. Francis. The celebration continued during the service inside the church, and ended with a luncheon. Many hugs and memories were shared, as well. 9980 Cherry Valley, Caledonia 49316 On the corner of M-37 and 100th Street Mon.-Fri. 8:30am-6pm and Sat. 8:30am-2pm \ • •• • •'V » I Drawing for... $50 Gift Certificate and ■Replica ALSO SPECIALS ALL NIGHT! 07578945 9809 Cherry Valley (M-37) • Caledonia 616-891-2418 —-—— — BUYING GOLD WWW.MAYNARDSWATERCONDITIONING.COM > / LwATER CONDITIONING 616789170303 2 I AYNARD’S i p If I water test! ▲ £ I Stop in for your free Authorized PRO’S PICK Dealer li November ISth • 5-5pm • Iron staining • • • See KIM '$ KONSIGNMINT • Sulfur odors If your water and laundry don't smell or look os clean as you would like Call Us Today! 4^ ■li Eliminate: —— - & IF T AND SILVER TOO!

However, you can still benefit from a human, face-toface experience for some purchases — such as your investments. And that's why you may want to work with a financial professional. Unlike a computer interface, a financial professional will take the time to truly know your situation today — and then help you make adjustments tomorrow. Let’s first look at two key areas a financial professional will consider today: • Your risk tolerance — By asking the right ques­ tions, a financial professional can help you determine if you're a moderate, conserva­ tive or aggressive investor and then recommend those investments that are suitable for your risk tolerance. • Your time horizon — If you’re saving for a down payment on a new home you expect to purchase within two or three years, you may want an investment that offers significant preservation of principal. But if you’re saving for retirement, and you’re three decades away from’it, you'll. likely need investments that offer the potential for growth. Your financial advisor can help you choose the mix of short-* and long-term invest­ ments that can help you make progress toward all your goals. Now, let’s look at the types of milestones that a financial professional can help you with as your life progresses: Call anytime for Sun & News classified ads • New child — When you bring a new child into your life, you also add new responsibilities. Do you have sufficient life insurance? Do you plan on helping the child pay for college? If so, what college funding vehicles should you consider? A financial professional can help you answer these ques­ tions. • New spouse — Whether you're getting married for the first time, or you're remarrying, you'll have to reconcile your financial pic­ ture with that of your new spouse. A financial profes­ •II sional can review both •II your situations and possibly recommend ways for you to reduce debt, eliminate redundancies in your investment portfolios and consolidate insurance coverage. • Career change — When !you change jobs, you may have to make many investment-related decisions: Should you move the assets from your old employer's 401 (k) to an IRA? Or should you roll over your old 401 (k) to your new employer’s plan, if a rollover is allowed? Knowing your options when you leave your job can help you make the right choice for your retirement savings. A qualified financial profes­ sional can help you review and understand your rollover options. • Retirement — Once you retire, you'll have several issues to consider: How much can you withdraw from your investments each year? From which accounts? Should you rebalance your portfolio to provide more potential sources of income? •II •II What about the transfer of your wealth? A financial professional who is familiar with your situation can help you make the right moves to enjoy the retirement lifestyle you've envisioned. So, when you really want to invest, leave the “virtual” world behind and connect with a financial professional — someone who has gained insight into your individual needs and who has the expe­ rience and expertise to help you build, maintain and adjust a portfolio that can help you move toward your goals, This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor. —• Saturday Hours Professional Services!

Village President Glenn Gilbert and Trustee Dan Erskine were absent from the meeting. Vice President Danise Regan called the council to order and presided over the meeting. Council member Todd Grinage, who with Erskine, had spent the spring and Thornapple Kellogg Board of Education President Dave Smith (right) signs the gov- summer identifying areas ernance team standards of practice at the Nov. 14 meeting of the board as 'needing repair and prioritizing the most critically need­ Superintendent Gary Rider looks on.

That bid, at $9,100 for 75 concrete sec­ tions, would include removal of tree roots, leveling of the surface and laying the con­ crete. In a later conversation. Grinage said he had checked the company's references and found that they were a preferred vendor in some neighboring communities. The second bid came from for Asphalt Inc. A-1 $10,625. Village Engineer Paul Galdes said he had not been aware of the company’s interest in concrete sidewalk repairs. During discussion of the proposals, it became clear that some council members were confused about exactly what work was covered in each proposal. Trustee Tim Overholt said he felt he did not have enough information to cast an intelligent vote on the proposals before the council. A factor was the ability of either firm to get the work done before snow fell. The council voted to defer action on the repairs until more information was available. The next meeting of the Caledonia Village Council will be Monday, Dec. 12, at 7 p.m. in the village hall at 250 S.

The village has a arry contract with the County Sheriff’s Department to provide police services in the village. At the Nov. 1 committeeof-the-whole meeting on the budget, questions were raised about overtime costs. These were necessary when Deputy Angela Solomon was injured during a recent arrest in Middleville. Sheriff Dar Leaf, Sgt. Tony Stein and the sheriff’s assistant Cheryl Hartwell attended the committee meeting Nov. 8 to answer questions about costs for 2012. Deputy Travis Chellis is taking Solomon’s position in Middleville while she is recovering. Leaf told the council that because Chellis is at a lower wage, the cost to the village will be less. He also assured the council that he Chellis is an experienced officer. In addition, the village will not be charged for Solomon’s wages for November. Council member Sue Reyff asked Leaf if it would cost more for the village to hire its own police chief and officers. Leaf and Stein explained the savings to the village through the contract. Leaf encouraged council to contact him with ques­ tions, saying, “Don't be afraid to ask.” The collaboration between the Middleville and the sher­ iff’s department also drew praised. Village Manager Rebecca Fleury told the council that the new public safety cost projection was at the 2011 level. Fleury and council mem­ bers then reviewed final por­ tions of the budget. Fleury had provided some clearer understanding of how differ­ ent funds pay salaries. Reyff shared her concern with the cost of the village attorney. She also suggested that the village look into going out for bids on legal and other professional serv­ ices. At the end of the meeting, Fleury told the council that costs for 2012 were $18,229 under the projected revenues of $1,032,558. A short committee-of-thewhole meeting is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 22. Items to be discussed at the meeting include informa­ tion on applicants to the open position on the council (due to Sue Merrill moving out of state), the contract with Charter Communications and other issues. The regular council meeting will begin at WU11V11 7 p.m. This meeting will include the public hearing on the budget. Township sets budget workshops by Patricia Johns Staff Writer the of Members Thornapple Township Board of Trustees have begun work on the 2012-13 budget Committees are going to be looking closely at revenue and expenses for the divi­ sions before the first budget workshop, set for Monday, Dec. 5, at 9:30 a.m. At the board meeting Nov. 14, Trustee Walt Eavey said he was concerned about working on the budget with uncertain revenues amounts. He also expressed concern for the need to catch up on road repairs within the town­ ship after a year of less road work. Following some discus­ sion, Clerk Susan Vlietstra said, “I am anticipating that revenues should be level for the next year.” Earlier in the meeting, Treasurer Deb Buckowing had noted that the township had received an additional $12,000 in the last revenue­ sharing payment it received. The township is receiving additional funds due to increase in population from the 2010 U. S. Census results. The board will hold-a sec­ ond budget workshop Thursday, Jan. 5, 2012, also at 9:30 a.m. The budget workshops are open to the P* ™ the township meetin§ I’oom; Vlietstra reported that there will be separate Democrat and Republican ballots for the Feb. 28, 2012, presidential primary elec­ tion. She also said school board elections will be changing, although details have not be finalized. Vlietstra said she will bring full information to the board. Thornapple . Township Emergency Services chief David Middleton reported that Jerry Niles had done an incredible job with this year’s fire prevention programs for 872 Thornapple Kellogg students in prekindergarten through second grade. Second grade students had a chance to go through the Smokehouse this year. Supervisor Don Boysen asked if firefighters still wear their gear so children know not to be afraid if they are in a fire. “Yes, and we try to have a teacher put on the gear so that students know that they can trust the firefighter, said Middleton. “We don t want children to run and hide from firefighters.” Part of the training chil­ dren are given tells them to touch a door to see if it is hot and not to open it if it is. - “From personal experience, I know how important this is,” said Boysen. “1 have two nephews who were rescued because they did not open a hot door in the fire where their mother died.” In other business, the board approved the purchase of four sets of turnout gear for the fire department and seven sets of reversible jack­ ets for the ambulance crew, from this year's budget. Costs were less than budget­ ed. Middleton noted that the new gear will replace gear that is getting worn out. No turnout gear was purchased in 2010. Administrator Zoning Catherine Getty told the board some new homes are being built in the township. 9 See WORKSHOPS, pg. 9 In This Issue • Black Friday deal helps Caledonia food drive • New reporter to cover Sun and News • Caledonia Township board fixes procedural glitch • Fighting Scots leaving the O-K Gold for the O-K White I �Page 2/The Sun and News, Saturday, November 19, 2011 Caledonia Township board fixes procedural glitch 4 -- by Fran Fa verman Staff Writer The Nov. 16 Caledonia Township Board of Trustees meeting went smoothly until a glitch developed regarding minutes from the board's Nov. 2 meeting. The glitch arose because Clerk Jennifer Christian who had not attended the Nov. 2 board meeting at which a new retirement program for township employees was adopted, saw that the min­ utes did not include any detail. Christian said she felt that since the minutes are the official legal record, they needed a greater level of detail because of the adop­ tion of a new retirement pro­ gram. Ultimately, the board agreed Christian would write the document for inclusion in the minutes of the Nov. 2 meeting. On the agenda were a pub­ lic hearing for the Milestone Learning Center, which is located in the Valley Point South Planned * Unit Development. There were no public comments, so the board moved on to the ordi­ nance that amends the PUD to permit the Milestone Learning Center. The origi­ nal ordinance contained some restrictive language regarding how a contribution by the developer of the proj­ ect can be used to alleviate traffic issues. A proposed amendment to remove the restrictive language was withdrawn when it was •It inted out that its introduc­ tion at this Apoint would fur•It ther delay approval of the project. The Milestone Learning Center was approved unanimously. Treasurer Richard Robertson began the discus­ sion of the budget, saying he expected one budget work­ shop to be all that would be necessary to establish a budget for the coming fiscal year which begins Jan. 1, 2012. He said he expects rev­ enues from property taxes to remain essentially flat. He noted that the 2010 U.S. Census data should make Caledonia eligible for approximately $700,000 in state aid for the next decade. The next meeting of the township board will be at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 7, at the township offices, 8196 Broadmoor Ave. Kent County residents may sign up for community alerts In an effort to communi­ cate with residents about crimes and events that can impact their lives, the Kent County Sheriffs Office is offering a new free service.

Vitabasic Complete n/mMeiv Complete ; Teen has ax to grind on Halloween A Middleville mother reported that her 15-year-old son attacked her with a pick­ ax Oct. 31. Deputies responded and learned the boy had left the residence. The mother said they had had a verbal argument and when he left, he took the pickax from the garage. The son said the mother had tried to take the tool away from him and there was a struggle. The mother said the teen swung the ax at her, and she stepped back to avoid being struck and then stepped for­ ward and grabbed the pickax. The boy reportedly kicked his mother several times, and she kicked him back while struggling for the ax. The mother said that during the struggle, the boy punched her in the face. He told deputies he was so angry his mother was trying to take the ax. he slapped her, but did not punch her and denied assaulting her with the ax. Witnesses said the contact was a punch, but that they did not see the ax being swung. The juvenile was turned over to his grandpar­ ents. He told deputies he feels both his parents and step-parents have given up on him. A copy of the report has been forwarded to pro­ bate court and the prosecu­ tor’s office for review. The case remains open.

I loved getting into the community and meeting the peo­ ple who hold it together and make it work.” Cheney, who has worked with J-Ad since he graduat­ ed, will divide his time between the Sun and News and the Lowell Ledger, where he covers high school sports. He was a summer r»!• intern at J-Ad Graphics in 2009. “It'll be a balancing act, to be sure.” he said. “But with organization and communi­ cation. it can be done, and done well. 1 also have amaz­ ing co-workers willing to help me out should conflicts arise.” Still. Cheney said, “I can understand people's con­ cerns. There will be a learn­ ing curve for me and grow­ ing pains for us all. 1 urge folks to contact me wjth con­ cerns, questions and infor­ mation.

Denton is a freshman at CHS. Selected as an alternate was Matt Clabeaux, also a member of the freshmen class. Kurt Hoffman, guidance counselor at CHS, explained the program, saying that the MYLEAD camp experience at MSU is designed to help students identified as having leadership potential to engage in activities to learn leadership and team building skills. Jenna Stacey, recipient of the 2010 award, reported on her experience, citing the diversity she experienced at the camp. She noted that as wonderful as Caledonia is, it is not a very diverse environ­ ment. The campers are divid­ ed into groups of eight, and in those small groups is where most of the activities will take place. One of the projects was cleaning up a strip of highway. Stacey said they became a close group and enjoyed being with each other. Three aspects of the expe- rience stood out particularly for Stacey; exposure to oth­ ers beyond her comfort zone, the need to plan ahead and set goals, and the celebration of diversity. The scholarship is co­ sponsored in 2011 by the Caledonia Women's Club, an affiliate of the General of Women’s Federation Clubs, and Fifth Third Bank's Caledonia branch. Joan Barrett, vice-president of the club, and Jessica Kohn, branch manager for Fifth Third, made the presen­ tation to Denton, who thanked them and said she was looking forward to the camp experience.

The 13 scouts retired 50 worn and tattered flags by burning them. Each flag was saluted as it was put into the fire. Following the ceremony, the Scouts and those watching had an opportunity to warm themselves as the flags turned into ashes. members Then of American Legion Post 140 held a brief Veterans Day observance in the gazebo at Stagecoach Park. Attendees were welcomed by Charles Pullen and Post Commander Paul Hernandez. ML < “Everyone has a debt to veterans. Hernandez said. describing the sacrifice of veterans putting their lives on the line for comrades and their country. “Our debt to these heroes can never be repaid, but our gratitude and respect must last forever.

We must appreciate them." He closed by saying, “God bless you all for being here. God bless our veterans and God bless America.'" A a 21-gun salute with Scott Palmer, Alex Decess, ’-4 Sgt.

They had come to celebrate their service during the annual Veterans Day observance. The moving ceremony honored these men and women, veterans of the wars the United States still fights today, the World Wars and every conflict in between. Each veteran was named and asked to stand and be recog­ nized, a chance for the audi­ ence to meet the individuals who fought for their free­ dom. Among them was Gerrit Kas, 94, who struggled to his feet with the aid of his fellow veterans on either side. Kas served during World War II, guarding California's Golden Gate Bridge when the government thought it may come under attack. He survived one of the war's most gruesome battles, the Battle of the Bulge, and, amidst a global conflict, was able to see the world. Like Kas, each veteran has a story, but only one man's story was shared that day: Nick Roush's. He was not there to tell his story. He couldn’t be. Instead, his father Bob told of how his son strove for something if X Veterans present at Thornapple Kellogg High School and community Veterans Day program stand to be recognized. ■ -- John Loftus, at attention, receives special rec •It nition and thanks for his work in making the Veterans Day program possible. beyond himself, found his place in the United States Army, and gave his life for Great Rates & Local Servicing OUR MORTGAGE ADVANTAGES No application fee, underwriting fee, closing fee.

Bob struggled through the story, pausing occasionally to regain his composure and wipe away tears. Who knows in the last two years how many times he’s retold it; relived the painful experi­ ence. But he willingly did so to help his audience under­ stand his son’s courage, the courage of those still fight­ ing, and the pain and loss inherent to the life of soldiers and their families. Bob's story was not withmi Higher Standards Come Standard out hope. Out of loss comes blessings — he told of a soldier who had never met Nick, but knew of his reputation and had seen him fight without fear. “I carry with me the honor of knowing your son’s name," the soldier told Nick's parents.

Alcohol consumption is heavier-than-usual. Frantic travel agendas often result in forgetting to pack medica­ tions. A houseful of diverse personalities can cause stress for the host family. “Overindulging, traveling and the stress of entertaining has health consequences^” said Niten Singh, MD, a member of the Society for Vascular Surgery. “After Thanksgiving dinner, hospi­ tal emergency rooms brim with overstuffed and over­ served guests.” Heavy alcohol consump­ tion can trigger a condition known as holiday heart syn­ drome. This is an abnormal heart rhythm referred to as atrial fibrillation. Persons who experience this condi­ tion have an increased risk of stroke. Heart palpitations, dizzi­ ness, shortness of breath and chest discomfort are stroke symptoms. Most often, stroke patients exhibit one or more of the following risk factors: • Blood pressure higher than 135/85. • Cigarette smoking • Alcohol consumption beyond moderation those decisions. 3.

Angel, completed the event in 3 hours, 31 minutes and 12 seconds; oldest son Alex in 2:03:07; and middle son Luben in 2:11:39. Some riders who preferred the cold and icy conditions of previous events referred to this year’s race as the “Niceman.” “It was a great day to race with excellent conditions,” said Drew Laird. This year there were six confirmed fractures out ot about 15 riders taken to the emergency room. None of these were local riders.

Nominations for 2012 awards and applications for the apprenticeship grants are due Thursday, Dec. 1. since 1985, the MSU Museum’s Michigan Traditional Arts Program has though its Michigan Heritage Awards, honored the achievements of Michigan artists for traditions in family and community. The awards recognize these traditions in the areas of performance, material culture and commu­ nity leadership. Previous winners have included the late Les Raber, a fiddler from Hastings, who won in 1991, aand nd Willy McDonald, a waterfowl decoy carver from Delton, who won in 2007. 44 “The attention and honor extended to these artists Michigan through the Heritage Awards are impor­ tant not only to them but to all of us who cherish the state's cultural heritage,” explains LuAnne Kozma, assistant curator of folk arts at the MSU Museum and coordinator of the MHA pro­ gram. “We seek nominations from all over the state so that the award program continues to reflect the great diversity of skills, ethnicities and of backgrounds Michiganders,” she adds, The Michigan Traditional Arts Apprenticeship Program supports the continuation of traditional folk arts practiced in Michigan that are learned informally from one another in small groups and families - ranging from decoy duck carving and birch bark canoe making to storytelling, mehendi (henna) art application, and regional and ethnic food­ Schoessel said. “They look strong. We’ve been working on different aspects of the race, working on the taper.” Schipper and Strumberger the on swam both TK/Hastings 200-yard medley relay team at the state finals a year ago, and Schipper also competed with 200-yard Trojans’ the freestyle relay team and in the 100-yard breaststroke herself.

A master artist works with an apprentice artist in the same community, pass­ ing on the skills and knowl­ edge about a particular tradi­ tional art. The apprenticeship program awards a stipend in support of the instruction time the mater artists spends with the apprentice. “Like its natural resources, Michigan's cultural tradi­ tions are a treasured resource to be nurtured for future gen­ erations, which is why the Apprenticeship program is so successful in providing incentives to traditional artists to pursue their art and pass on these skills to oth­ ers,” says Kozma. “Many master and apprentice teams tell us that their apprentice­ ship was one of the most meaningful times of their lives, providing the opportu­ nity and the means to pass on a living tradition to someone who will continue the tradi­ tion as well. The National Endowment tor the Arts and MSU Museum fund these tradi­ tional arts programs.

From April 20, the day after Johnson directed the change, through Oct. 19, there were 220,201 new organ donor registrations. That represents an increase of 28 percent over the same period last year, when there & V* w ’AX' < So- w ,v nJ ■■' were 171,764 sign-ups. “We are encouraged by these improving numbers, which will save lives,” Johnson said. “Those await­ ing a transplant can rest assured our office, along with our partners Gift of Life Michigan and the Michigan Eye-Bank, B will continue pro­ moting this cause in every county of our state.” More than 2.3 million res­ idents are on the state's organ donor registry, according to Gift of Life Michigan, but Michigan still ranks 44th, nationally in organ donor registrations, so more work * *'■> Family night? w& ill e 1 *2*?* ^><5 Spend less time cooking and more time enjoying your family by dining out at one of these local restaurants... needs to be done, Johnson said.

Each tissue donor can improve the lives of up to 50 people. “We are thrilled by the number of people making this life-saving decision to join the donor registry,” said Richard Pietroski, CEO of Gift of Life Michigan, the state’s organ and tissue recovery organization. “It's so important to the 3,000 peo­ ple in Michigan in need of an organ transplant and the many thousands more who need tissue or corneal trans­ plants.

Though the agenda listed as for discussion only, “To consider an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to allow landscaping operations as a Special Land Use in the Ag District,” commissioners spent lengthy and careful deliberation of the subject at their Nov. 21 meeting. The problem surfaced at the Oct’. 17 meeting of the commission when Chuck Noll, owner of ’s of Chuck Chuck's Landscaping in Byron Center appeared before the commission to request approval to operate as a home business his compa­ ny’s purchase of Yonker 8300 at Landscaping Patterson Road. The first issue of that ear­ lier discussion was the absence of a permit for the business being purchased from Ken Yonker; the sec­ ond issue was applying under the wrong classifica­ tion, a decision made on advice, apparently, from a township official; the third issue was how to accommo­ date as a legal nonconform­ ing use a business not allowed in the zoning dis­ trict. 136th year Yonker said when he went to the township for a permit 19 years ago, he was told he did not need one because he was buying a defunct land­ scaping business; a landscap­ ing business had been in operation at 8300 Patterson Road for five years. The commissioners voted to table the application by Noll and instructed Planner Lynee Wells to research the issues. One of the results of her research was the discovery that eight such businesses of varying sizes were operating in the township without per­ mits. They operate in four different zoning districts one operates in a planned unit development whose unit development whose underlying zoning is not specified. Two additional specified. Two additional landscaping businesses operoper­ ate under home business per­ mits, one of which was secured by an applicant as the result of a court agree­ ment. In a lengthy letter to Wells, township attorney James Brown analyzed the Noll application and stated that it does not meet the cri­ teria for a home business because it is too large. That is, a home business is allowed to have only one non-family member as an employee. Noll would have two two-person crews oper­ ating from the Patterson Road location on a daily basis. Less than half of the accessory building (3,668 square feet) could be used in the business. Outside storage of equipment without fenc­ ing is prohibited. The equip­ ment currently part of the Yonker Landscaping busi­ ness includes 10 trailers, three trucks, one dump truck, and two loaders; all are stored outside. Noting that the available information indicates that a landscaping business has been operated at the location for 24 years, Brown's letter turned to the zoning ordinance. According to Brown, i the zoning ordinance in place in October of 1975, which predates the beginning of a landscaping business at the site, does not include a landscaping scaping business business as as aa special special land use use in in the the Ag Ag district. district. land Therefore, the landscape business use does not qualify quality as a legal nonconforming use. Nor does a zoning vari­ ance provide relief because in 2006, the Caledonia Township Zoning Board of Appeals lost the ability to provide use variances. In his letter, Brown suggests that, since the township files do not indicate any approvals were sought or given, it is likely that the use was perceived as an out­ growth of farming. Since there were no state or local requirements for permits for farm buildings at the time, there was no need for permits. Brown makes two points in his conclusions and rec- VICI ATIHNC na 2 See VIOLATIONS, 366 VIULAIIUN3, pg.

When informed that approximately 90 percent of . .Z^ZX VICIT W 1W1 • sales are in this country, Amash moved on to ask about Asia and was told that Asia is a very difficult mar­ ket.

Trustee Shannon Endsley cast the lone “nay" vote. The net effect of the budget adjustment is a $3,900 increase. “It is common to have variations in budget cate­ gories as needs throughout each fiscal year are always I changing," read an agenda li request form prepared by Manager Village and L Finance Director Rebecca | Fleury. The adjusted budget sets aside $3,500 less for codification under the village clerk position — to date, only $400 of the allotted $7,500 has been spent. It’s anticipat­ ed that $7,000 will be spent. A <; ' The council added $4,300 in expenditures under health care and retirement. Nothing had been budgeted for these expenses prior to this. Non-departmental expendi­ tures increased by $14,200 to $250,000. Fleury’s report stat­ ed, “Non-departmental carries the majority of the operating expenses for the village." Similar adjustments have been made, both cuts and increases, throughout the budget. On that note, the village council held a public hearing for the 2012 budget at the See COUNCIL, page 2 In This Issue • Caledonia tree lighting is Dec. 3 • Holiday luncheon and concert for TK senior citizens is Dec. 8 • Improvements, library service dominate Yankee Springs meeting I | [ Former village planner Geoff Moffat receives a commemorative plaque and con­ gratulations from Middleville Village Council President Charles Pullen.

No community members came forward with questions or comments. The recommend­ ed budget puts revenue at $2,914,233, compared to $3,-223,300 in 2011. Recommended budgeting for allocations is $2,758,158. It was $2,965,872 in 2011 and $3,184,124 in 2010. The council also voted to approve a resolution for a franchise agreement with Charter Communications. Though municipalities may charge up to a 5 percent fran­ chise fee of the provider’s & gross revenues, the village chose to recommend that no fee be levied. It would be difficult to determine the revenue gener- 3 ated if the village council were to decide to charge a franchise fee since it is based on gross revenues, Fleury wrote. “Charter may (and most certainly will) include the franchise fee as a separate line item on each customer’s monthly bill,” she added. Resident Jim Miller ques­ tioned why Charter was given the monopoly of pro­ viding cable television serv­ ice to the village. The coun­ cil explained that Charter already has the hard wires laid and is the only cable company available in the area. A proposal to purchase TimeSheet Software passed 5-1. The software costs Caledonia tree lighting is Dec. The Caledonia Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring the fourth annual lighting of the Christmas tree. The tree lighting ceremo­ ny, scheduled for 5 p.m. Dec. 3, is the grand finale in a day of holiday festivities. The ceremony will be held at the Caledonia library, which is located near DobblerWenger and 92nd streets. The tree to • be illuminated was dedicated to librarian Jane Heiss in celebration of her service and retirement last year. Caledonia Dance Studio will provide entertainment at the ceremony. Dancers will perform a routine from the ll holiday production The Nutcracker.” Community members can catch more of the holiday spirit throughout the day. A parade will go through town beginning at 2 p.m. The library will have activities from 3 to 4:30 p.m. During that time, the library will offer cookies and hot cocoa and pictures with Santa. Photography will be pro­ vided by Noun Studios, and Kiwanis Club members will provide the refreshments. 06764335 __ FAROUK Andrea sMb 9VSf( MS G6OUf Ch* Chi Environmental Partnership School Academy of Cosmetology Black Saturday thru Tuesday •'^31 J L Fl ™lji $5.00 Facials $10-$20 Gift Sets Retail Ruy I Get I For Only $3.00 Gift Certificates Ruy I Get 1 for 1/2 Price Hours: Tuesday & Saturday 9:00am-4pm; Wednesday & Thursday 9:00am-6pm; Friday 9:00am-5pm 620 S.

Trustee Sue Reyff cast the dissenting vote, say­ ing in the committee-of-thewhole meeting that the coun­ cil must limit its expenses. President Charles Pullen replied, “We spend a lot of money we don't have to already, and this would be in our favor.” The software is intended to save time and eliminate the duplication of hoursreporting by employees. The council voted to allow Paul Ackerman to clear four feet of the 10-foot-wide Paul Henry Thomapple Trail of snow this winter on a halfmile long stretch. The village would allocate $300 for the project for maintenance of the snow blower. “The trail and the river right there — that’s what convinced me to come out here,” Ackerman said, explaining his logic for mov­ ing to the area. “It becomes •It an icy mess and an impossi ­ ble thing to walk on, much less run, and keep your foot­ People will use the ing. trail more, will have a trail because it won’t be trod on all over and there's a path for skiers.” The extra six feet of the path would remain for cross­ country-skiers.

A resolution was unani­ mously passed honoring Geoff Moffat for his 12 years of service as village planner, zoning administrator and interim manager. A retire­ ment celebration for Moffat took place before the meet­ ing. State Rep. Mike Callton spoke to the village council at the beginning of the meeting about dispensaries for medicinal marijuana. Callton confirmed that such dispen-saries are not lawful, thus the council is not required to allow such an establishment in Middleville. STILL TIME TO GET YOUR NEW FLOORING IN BEFORE CHRISTMAS...

When Mansky opened an office in Hastings in 2004, the Hastings Area Schools became his focus, and, for the seventh consecutive year, will be the recipient of a col­ lection that in past years has totaled around 40 pairs of boots valued at approximate­ ly $1,500 in boot and cash donations. “Being a foot doctor, my mission has always been quality foot care,” says Mansky, Mand, during a time to give back during the holi­ days, it’s gratifying to help people who can't afford proper footwear for their children.” Proper footwear is espe­ cially important, Mansky points out, during the winter season when exposure quick­ ly leads to frostbite and even footwear that does not keep the feet dry can cause severe damage.

Mansky estimates that, over the seven years of the boot drive in Hastings, more than 1,000 pairs of boots have been distributed, thanks to donations of individual and businesses — some of whom donate cash, allowing Mansky to make specific boot purchases, sometimes at discounted prices, at area stores. “We’ve already got dona­ tions coming in,” reports Mansky who provides large donation boxes at his Hastings office for patients and for community donors. Mansky’s Hastings office is located at 1375 W. Green St., inside the office of Family Tree Associates. This year, he’ll also be collecting at his new Caledonia office located at 9385 Cherry Valley Ave. The donation drive offi­ cially kicks off with this Thanksgiving weekend and will conclude on Dec. 18. “I’m very lucky and blessed,” says Mansky of the passion he brings to the boot drive. “I have a job.” further encourage g 1 financial habits by offering to match their contributions to a Roth IRA. And be sure to dis­ cuss the different types of investments available; they may enjoy learning about the ways in which they can par­ ticipate in the financial mar­ kets. Above all else, talk to them about the importance of developing good financial skills and how these skills will play a part in your fami­ ly's overall well being. Now, let’s turn to your par­ ents. If they're elderly, you may find that talking to them about financial issues may be considerably more challeng­ ing than talking about these issues with your children. It’s unfortunate, but true: People are sensitive about money and often don't want to talk about it. You may find that you need to be persistent, espe­ cially if your parents are get­ ting on in years. Perhaps you encourage them to consider their current position, and what planning might need to It’s Thanksgiving week. And if you're fortunate, you can look around your Thanksgiving table and see several generations of your family. Of course, as you know, many types of cohe­ siveness are involved in knit­ ting a family together. But one connection that frequent­ ly gets ignored, at least in terms of family dialogue, is the financial linkage between parents and their children on one hand, and these same par­ ents and their parents on the other. So if you find yourself in this “sandwich” group, it may be worth considering your financial position. If your children are very young, you might want to start by emphasizing the importance of three separate concepts: saving, spending and sharing. If you give them an allowance, or if you pay them to do some minor tasks around the household, you can encourage them to put the money in three separate con­ tainers. The “spending" jar is for them to use as they choose, the “saving” jar is to be put in some type of sav­ ings or investment account and the “sharing" jar is to be used for contributions to charitable causes. You can extend the spending, saving and sharing themes by encouraging your kids to spend wisely, watch how their savings grow and feel pride in the work done by the charitable groups their dollars support. Later, when your kids are older, and can earn money by babysitting, mowing lawns or working part-time, you can * be considered. Do they have accounts in a local bank? Where are their investments held? Do they have a finan­ cial advisor? Have they worked with legal profession­ als on any arrangements? If your parents have expressed interest in leaving a legacy or passing assets to family members, you might consider encouraging them to seek assistance from the appropriate professionals, After all, if something were to happen to your parents without them having made the proper arrangements, their wishes may not be car­ ried out. So this Thanksgiving, as you think about the value of your family, you might take some time to consider issues that need to be addressed. . It may take time and diligence — but when it comes to your loved one's wishes and well­ being. it’s probably worth the effort.

Hunters should gut the carcass before trans­ •It porting back to a hunting camp or home. Upon arrival, hunters should hang the car­ cass and remove the hide. Because deer typically do not have much fat cover, Schweihofer suggests letting the carcass hang for not more than two to three days to age before cutting it up into appropriate portions. If ternperatures are not consistently below 40 F, the meat or ani­ mal should be refrigerated immediately. “It’s important that whoever prepares the carcass wears rubber gloves — and keep knives clean while skinning and gutting the deer to maintain the safety of venison,” Schweihofer said. “Keeping tools clean will only help so much; hunters must also be sure to avoid cutting through intestines and internal organs during removal.” Being prepared will help reduce spreading dirt and fecal material. Have clean water, disposable wipes and paper towels on hand to keep knives and the carcass clean throughout the process.

Currently, nine Barry County Angel Tree collec­ tion sites have been estab­ lished: Advent Physical Therapy, Bob's Gun and t Tackle, the Gilmore Car Museum diner, Gun Lake Fitness, Hastings City Bank, and Electronics King’s Middleville Appliances, Dentistry, Family Middleville Tool and Die and Sam's Joint near Gun Lake. The annual Salvation Army toy drive has set a goal to reach 20,000 children this year by collecting toys and A gifts through its popular Angel Tree program with partnership assistance from WOOD TV8 and WOTV 4. Key to the success of the program are needed Angel Tree drop off sites located at businesses, churches, schools, and other community organizations. “It’s easier than ever to sign up to be an Angel Tree drop-off site," says Marcie Gothard, Salvation Army Angel Tree coordinator, who will be happy to receive drop-off site offers via email to marcie_gothard@usc.salvationarmy.org or by tele­ phone at 269-963-3640. ■ ■ss SX S is ’’ f M* • i a r -1 I C.

The design phase commit­ tee met Nov. 8 with the township engineer Dan DeVries, of Fleis and Vandenbrink Engineering, to review options for the ADA restroom facility, ADA accessible exterior door to the community room, and parking lot expansion for both the township hall at 284 N. Briggs Road and the Payne Lake Road Tire sta­ tion. Township Treasurer John Jerkatis recommended using the current kitchen space for an ADA-accessible rest­ room. He said he feels the presence of water lines, drains and the size of the area would lend itself to the use and would represent a saving over construction of new lines. He noted the kitchen is not used for any­ thing beyond making coffee. When the room was built, a full kitchen was included because plans at the time allowed rental of the com- if I munity room to groups for functions. That practice has been discontinued because it proved to be impossible to police it appropriately. The entrance to the hall from the parking lot would be served by a set of double doors operated by a remote button. Once inside the hall­ way, a second set of double doors would be available to complete entry into the building. Trustee Mary Cook noted that a person in a wheelchair on an evening when snow is falling would definitely appreciate a covered entry­ way. Shane Vandenberg, a member of the design phase committee, commented that the double-door design with­ out a center post would enable people to move into and from the building with ease. He said he felt con­ cerns about the durability of the remote systems were unwarranted, since contrac­ tors are familiar with the sys­ tems. Since the engineering firm would be communicat­ ing the specifications to bid­ ders, he said there is no need for a set of renderings for the entryway. The board unanimously voted to have Fleis and Vandenbrink go ahead with a plan for a double entry with inside and outside doors with an automatic entry system and a covered entry way. The board agreed to ask Fleis and Vandenbrink to analyze the kitchen space as an alternative location for the ADA restroom. Parking lot improvements •It for both the hall and the fire station were discussed. Two options had been prepared by Fleis and Vandenbrink for consideration by the board. The board chose an option which provides for 60 spaces at the township hall and 10 additional spaces at the fire station. Deputy Supervisor Alice Jansma reported that she and Greg and Jennie Purcell were continuing to explore possi ­ •It ble options for solving the access to public library serv­ ices for Yankee Springs resi­ dents who live in the Wayland school district. The sticking point is the reluc­ tance of the township to pay approximately $16,000 to $19,000 to the Lakeland Library Cooperative. The feeling expressed by Supervisor Al McCrumb has been that use of general fund dollars for the benefit of the approximately 30 percent of Yankee Springs residents who are affected by the situ­ ation is inappropriate. Other residents in Yankee Springs Township receive library services because they live in school districts that make a payment for library services. Wayland schools do not • * make a payment to the Henika Library in Wayland, The affected affected Yankee Springs Township residents are currently receiving * 8196 Broadmoor Ave., SE Caledonia, MI 49316 QledoniA TOWNSHIP Phone: 616.891.0070 Fax: 616.891.0430 CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF CALEDONIA KENT COUNTY, MICHIGAN NOTICE OF ADOPTION OF TOWNSHIP ORDINANCE AND SUMMARY library services through a temporary card issued by the Thomapple Kellogg School and Community Library. Residents willing and able to make the trip to access the Grand Rapids Public Library are receiving services because that library has agreed to honor the tempo­ rary special TK library card. Jansma said a meeting has been scheduled for Nov. 22 with the Lakeland Cooperative representatives and the Library of Michigan. A third issue before the board was action on the Bowens Mill and Patterson roads intersection. The Allegan County Road Commission has added sig­ nage (Cross traffic does not stop) and reflector strips on its side of the intersection. Frank Fiala, a Yankee Springs Township resident and member of the Barry County Road Commission, said that the county will match the Allegan County improvements on the Barry County side. Board discus­ sion of rumble strips, caution lights, sign height and time of day ultimately concluded that the role of human behav­ ior in causingsj accidents is beyond their control. In other business before the board, Clerk Janice Lippert said three bids had been received for removing a dead ’oak tree at Robbins Cemetery. The board voted •It to accept a bid from Caledonia Tree Service for $825.

I h •i I -A 52) According to the National Weather Service, Michigan's Southern Lower Peninsula winter was colder and snowier than normal during the winter of 2010-11, while areas across the Upper Peninsula and far Northern Lower Peninsula had more average temperatures with below average snowfall, according to the Michigan Severe Weather Awareness Committee in a press release issued last week. The storm track through much of the winter went through the Ohio Valley, typical of a La Nina winter. This storm track put Southern Lower Michigan in the swath of the heavy snow and strong winds for many of those storms. The end result was above-normal snowfall with many locations in and Southeast extreme Southern Lower in their top 10 snowiest winters on record, including the fifth snowiest winter on record for Detroit and Saginaw. The winter started slowly across the state. It wasn't until the 2010 Thanksgiving holiday weekend that the first widespread snows fell across the state. A powerful fall storm moved across the upper Mississippi River Valley Oct. 25 to 27. This storm was a historically deep low pressure system and set many records across the Upper Midwest for lowest pressure. The storm sent strong winds across the state with wind gusts in excess of 60 miles per hour. Many trees and power lines were downed by the strong winds which left tens of thousands of Michigan households without power. Early December brought the first significant winter weather for the state. The month started with a couple of lake-effect snow events across the usual lake-effect regions of Upper and Western Lower Michigan. A few of the higher snowfalls were in Sault Ste. Marie with 8.5 inches of snow Dec. 2 and east of Ludington with 24 inches Dec. 5 to 7. By far, the most signifi­ cant storm of the month was one that moved from Iowa across the MichiganIndiana-Ohio border and into eastern Ontario Dec. 11 to 12. This storm dropped five to 15 inched of snow north of Interstate 96, accompanied by wind gusts of 25 to 40 mph which led to near-blizzard conditions. Arctic air blasted across the state at the very end of the storm, creat­ ing a “flash freeze” on many roads. As the arctic air moved over the Great Lakes, lake-effect snow developed over Berrien County and the Thumb region.

The winter season ended with bouts of light snow in March and then again in April across northern por­ tions of the state. Two strong storms ended the winter sea­ son. On March 22 and 23, areas north of a Baldwin-toPort Huron line received six to 15 inches of snow from a storm that moved through the center part of the Great Lakes Region. This storm dumped heavy snow as far north as the southern Upper Peninsula. The final storm hit April 19 and 20 with a narrow band of heavy snow from Traverse City to Alpena. The five to 10 inch­ es of April snow resulted in tree damage in some areas, due to some trees already having their spring foliage. Central Lower Michigan ranged from 10 to 15 inches. Winds gusted in excess of 40 mph for hours, creating whiteout conditions, snow­ drifts of three to five feet and »!• made travel nearly impossible. Outside of that area of blizzard conditions, snow piled up from six to 12 inch­ es with near-blizzard condi­ tions from the southern bor­ der to Manistee and Alpena. ■ The other February storm hit southern and central Lower Michigan Feb. 20 to 21. This ice storm hit along and south of a Kalamazooto-Monroe line. Ice accumu­ lated up to a half inch, with some isolated locations * recording an inch'of ice. The ice downed thousands of trees and power lines throughout that region. Many people were without power for four to five days. in all, up to $10 million in damages were caused by the ice storm. Farther north, COME AND VISIT US BEFORE THE 4 .- ditions were experienced in these locations, with up to 20 inches of snow and drifts of six to 10 feet. Very little significant win­ ter activity was noted in January across the entire state when the storm track across the United States missed Michigan. Periods of very cold air and associated lighter snowfall with the lake-effect conditions occured throughout the month. One noteworthy lake-effect event came at the beginning of the month from Jan. 6 to 8. While every loca­ tion in Michigan had two to six inches of snow from the long period of lake-effect snow, many locations received much more: Port Austin in the Thumb had eight inches; Berrien, Cass, and Van Buren counties had one to two feet; Bellaire had 24 inches; and Darragh reporteed 20 inches. The Groundhog Day bliz­ zard was the headline event of the winter, not only in Michigan but across the county. This blizzard stretched from Oklahoma Chicago through and Michigan and into the New England states. The storm produced widespread bliz­ zard conditions from the Holland/Grand Rapids area through northeast the region.

Amidst laughter, Amash was assured it was the airlines conserving fuel, not a failure in the system to keep the heat under control. Recently, political heat has been directed Amash’s way for votes he has cast, specifically two “No” votes - one on a resolution specify­ ing a national motto and the other a vote against a nation­ al right-to-carry law spon­ sored by the National Rifle Association (NRA). Amash did not avoid explaining his votes. “People have a right to know how you voted. I have voted 850 times and I have explained each vote,” he commented. “The first reso­ lution specified that the national motto, Tn God We Trust,’ had to appear on every single public building, both state and local. “I think it is a fine motto, but is it the business of the federal government to tell the city of Hastings what to put on its buildings?” In Amash’s view, the res­ olution was “an overreach” of governmental authority. In addition, he observed, “Since it is a resolution, it carries no enforcement authority.” The NRA has been partic­ ularly critical of his vote, according to Amash. His objection is rooted in the choice ofconstitutional pro­ visions, namely the use of the commerce clause to justi­ fy a right-to-carry' a weapon. “Conservatives have tried to keep a right-to-carry out of the commerce clause because there is no Com­ merce occurring. The NRA can’t explain how transfer­ ring your right-to-carry from one place to another is in the commerce clause because it isn’t,” he said.

While he avoided mention­ ing names, saying that he did not want to get into that, he noted that there appears to be more flexibility among the younger members of both parties than among the more established members of Congress, who may have defined constituencies at risk. He also places some of the blame for confusion on the media saying that the media tends to get things backward. Noting that he has endorsed Ron Paul for the presidential Republican nomination, Amash said he supports Paul because he is the soundest candidate on fiscal issues. Mitt Romney is the Republican candidate Republicans don’t like, says Amash and Herman Cain, leaving aside the difficulties raised by alleged encounters with women, is not a viable candidate because of his for­ eign policy miscue. “How can you be a candi­ date for president and not know- what has been happen­ ing in Libya?” Amash asked. Newt Gingrich leaves him incredulous. Reflecting on his own challenges with the Republican Party, Amash said, “it is very difficult to be principled. I am a constitu­ tional conservative. I am not afraid to vote against my party when they are wrong. I have been told I will be a one-term Congressman, I view it as a test case for the political process," he con­ cluded. Amash was accompanied by Jordan Bush, director for the Grand Rapids 3rd District House office.

Following a presentation by officials from Kellogg Community College which the college announced the full repayment to the county of the bond issue that funded the Fehsenfeld Campus in Hastings 15 years ago, the commission wres­ tled with controversy that has erupted over the Time of Sale or Transfer (TOST) pro­ gram originally adopted in 2007. "I've been tried and con­ victed right here, and it's not right," said Commissioner Joe Lyons, of alleged falsifi­ cation of documenta charges made against him while he was acting as a registered evaluator for the TOST pro­ gram, which is overseen by the Barry-Eaton District Health Department. Reacting id response to a Hastings Banner article of Nov. 17. Lyons said the charges were false, that they were generated by fellow commissioner Jeff VanNortw ick. and that they ongmated from philosophi­ cal disagreements that the two have had over the TOST program "About a year ago at this time, I was on the health board and had been very vocal with parts of TOST." related Lyons, who as a pro­ fessional excavator acted as a TOST registered evaluator. “I got a call from Mr. VanNortwick relating how •• Snowmobile trail permit fee increases for 2011 season The 2011 snowmobile season marks the next stage of a new fee structure for state snowmobile permit fees.

Subscribe to the Hastings Banner. Ca// 945-9554 for more information. A state law signed in 2008 provided for the incremental increase in snowmobile trail fees, which support mainte­ nance and grooming of the state's snowmobile trail net­ work. Michigan's snowmobile trail network is successful, said state officials, because of the unique relationship between the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and partners. The DNR provides grants to local snowmobile trail partners, who in turn are responsible for the grooming and mainte­ nance of the trails. “We have strong relation­ ships with our partners in the snowmobile community." said Jim Radabaugh, section manager for the DNR Recreation and Trails Program in the forest man­ agement division. "It is because of our partnership *4 with 68 snowmobile trail sponsors that Michigan is able to offer over 6,400 miles of designated, groomed and signed trails.” The fee increase is neces­ sary to offset the increasing •If snowmobile grant sponsor costs — such as fuel, engi­ neering services and insur­ ance — to maintain the des­ ignated and groomed trail network and to fund long­ term trail infrastructure needs, such as bridges and culverts. "When it comes to keep­ ing Michigan's trails safe and groomed, a little goes a long way," added Lynne Boyd, chief of the forest management division at the DNR. "This fee increase is a way for every snowmobiler to do his or her part toward providing season-long access to miles and miles of magical Michigan trails." *4 he had almost been recalled [from the county board] because of TOST and that I didn't deserve to be on the [health] board. He then said that he had information on me that I likely wouldn't want the public to know. Now, was it blackmail? Was it extortion? Or was it both? Call it what you will." The disputed documents concern work performed by Lyons at two properties, one in Middleville and one in Freeport. In both cases, Lyons told commissioners that assumptions he made regarding sewer and septic systems were overruled by the county health depart­ ment, but then later con-, firmed after what he called additional, < « overly costly, and unnecessary testing done by health department staff. At a TOST meeting in which the license of another evaluator was revoked. Lyons said he was in atten­ “Mr. dance and that VanNortwick was conve­ niently not there.” It was from that meeting,. Lyons said, that word spread that he had been the evaluator barred from service. When he was called in to the health department office for an evaluation, Lyons said, he was told by adminis­ trator Eric Pessell that the health board had been work­ ing with Lyons since the 1980s and it was normal pol­ icy to be evaluated. "Why me?” asked Lyons at Tuesday's board meeting. “And, Mr. VanNortwick, why would you pull just my records? Who led you to that supposed falsification of documents [chargel?" VanNortwick responded in that he had put no one’s name on his request for clar­ ification of TOST records and laid responsibility on Commission Chair Craig Stolsonburg. VanNortw ick said he requested more than a year ago that Stolsonburg address the inconsistencies of the TOST arrangement. "My criticism is not a summation of who Joe is," said VanNortwick. "Craig vowed that he'd work on this policy, and he didn't do it. "I can't help your lack of public health concern." VanNortwick told Lyons. "Your indiscretions are not my problem. Lyons remarks and VanNortw ick s response came during the commis­ sioners comment period at the end of Tuesday 's agenda. The discussion was not an agenda business item, and no action was taken. In other business, the commission: • Accepted proclamations of thanks and congratula­ tions from officials of Kellogg Community College for the faith extended the college by the board of com­ missioners when the school sought to build its Fehsenfeld Campus. “The folks who sat in those (commissioner) chairs 15 years ago look a risk to fund this venture, but it's a risk that worked," former KCC President Paul Ohm told commissioners.

MSU Extension offers tips to ensure venison is safe for consumption •* 1^' Ask about delivery *& < •<* > 5 t> J If when Regardless of hunters bring home their State Michigan deer, University Extension wants to ensure hunters' efforts are not wasted and their venison stays fresh. “Keeping the carcass cool is an important first step to maintain venison’s safety for consumption,” said Jeannine Schweihofer, MSU Extension meat quality edu­ cator. “When temperatures are more than 40 degrees Fahrenheit, multiple steps may be necessary to prevent the carcass from spoiling.” According to Schweihofer, hunters can use many techniques to keep a deer carcass cool, such as insert bags of ice or clean snow in the carcass to pre­ vent spoiling. Hunters should gut the carcass before trans­ porting back to a hunting camp or home. Upon arrival, hunters should hang the car­ cass and remove the hide. Because deer typically do not have much fat cover, Schweihofer suggests letting the carcass hang for not more than two to three days to age before cutting it up into appropriate portions. If tem­ peratures are not consistently below 40 F, the meat or ani­ mal should be refrigerated immediately. “It’s important that who­ ever prepares the carcass wears rubber gloves — and keep knives' clean while skinning and gutting the deer to maintain the safety of venison,” Schweihofer said. “Keeping tools clean will only help so much; hunters must also be sure to avoid cutting through intestines and internal organs during removal.” Being prepared will help reduce spreading dirt and fecal material. Have clean water, disposable wipes and paper towels on hand to keep knives and the carcass clean throughout the process.

Taking the budget amend­ ments first, Robertson said the 2011 budget should reflect accurately what the revenues were and what was spent. The largest adjustment came on the revenue side because the township's state dollars revenue-sharing increased due to the increase in population reflected in the 2010 Census figures. He emphasized Caledonia will receive $775,000 in revenue sharing dollars for the next decade. On the expense side, Robertson noted that the township had budgeted legal costs at $25,000 reflecting an adjustment to the continuing decline in legal costs in recent years, but this year the township actually spent $56,000.

Robertson concluded his remarks on the budget amendments noting that a surplus of $ 103,000 had been projected initially but that, due to the increased revenue­ sharing dollars, the figure is actually $325,000. Although mentioned only in passing, questions regard­ ing the $305,000 bill for services in 2011 received from the Kent County Sheriffs Department are expected to be raised at the Dec. 13 meeting of the pub­ lic safety advisory commit­ tee. Committee Chair Don Koopmans expects a depart­ ment representative to be present to explain the charges. The charges exceed the $370,000 budgeted in the 2011 budget for police serv­ ices. Police, fire, and emer­ gency medical services are funded through the 1.5 mill See TOWNSHIP, page 6 resentative of the Barry County Road Commission. Because the Crane Bridge w as rezoned to be within the village limits. Ordinance 66-205 prohibiting snow­ mobiles from entering vil­ lage limits would need a variance to allow for it. Trustee Sue Reyff expressed concern about paying a lawyer to amend the ordinance. Per the Oct. 18, 2011, Committee of the Whole meeting, the village council clarified that it wishes to prepare Requests for Proposals for the position of planner, zoning administra­ tor and personnel in engi- I neering. This followed a presenta­ tion from Don Boy son of Township. Thornapple Boyson proposed that the township and village share a zoning administrator in Catherine Getty. “She has the advantage of being a local citizen who knows the area," Boyson said. “You don't get a plan­ ner. She's not a planner," Boyson added that Thornapple Township has contracted with a consultant for that position. currently Thornapple pays Getty $11,500 annual- t See COUNCIL, page 20 Harrison provides plans, kudos, and thanks by Fran Faverman Staff Writer Supervisor Bryan Harrison often uses the penultimate item on the agenda, board comment, as an opportunity for summing up and for sketching ideas for projects in the coming year. He did so at the final board meeting of the year on Wednesday, Dec.7. Earlier this year the town­ ship commissioned a feasi­ bility study for a Downtown Development Agency (DDA) from Williams and Works, the township plan­ ning consultant. The study considered three possible arrangements: a stand-alone DDA for the township and for the Village of Caledonia and a joint DDA for both. After completing a review process, the village council decided a DDA was too risky in the present economic cli­ mate. A second factor in its decision-making was that a joint DDA would initially require too large a contribu- tion from declining revenues because of the disparity in tax rates for financing local government operations. The proposal for a DDA languished until Harrison said he wanted "To put together a plan for a standalone DDA." A major consideration is the financing mechanism known as tax-increment financing; that is, a portion of existing tax revenues is transferred to the DDA. It does not involve an increase in the level of taxation but does involve the participa­ tion of other taxing agencies that must consent to the diversion of some of their revenues. Harrison has also support­ ed the acquisition of park­ land, mostly through agree­ ments with the county. The exception is the recent agreement to accept a donation of approximately approximately 200 200 acres acres of land from the Den Hartigh family and their familyowned corporation, Cherry Valley Development. In November, the board accept­ ed the first donation of 48 acres. Harrison went on to thank his board colleagues individ­ ually for their contributions to to Caledonia. Caledonia. He He cited cited Treasurer Richard Robertson for his stewardship of township funds and assets and Clerk Jennifer Christian for the day-to-day functioning of office operations and her oversight of contracts for virtually all services and supplies, Trustee Don Koopmans wears two hats, one as board liaison to the Planning Commission and the other as chair of the Publip Safety Advisory Committee, which oversees the Caledonia Fire Department and the provision of police and other emergency services. Trustee Rick Snoeyink also serves on the PSAC as secretary, has a strong interest in farmland preservation, and has served on the committee overseein cr in recent road repairs Caledonia. Trustee Dale Hermenet serves as chair of the Parks and Recreation Committee; he also serves on the special committee charged with responsibility for the Den Hartigh parkland donation. committee also oversees LHis ____ the development of trails. Trustee Greg Zoller provides professional advice on the acquisition and sale of township property. The community response to the Liberty Mutual Insurance Company "Be Fire Smart" challenge that resulted in a $10,000 grant to the Caledonia Fire Department, drew his congratulations as did service clubs—Kiwanis of Caledonia, Caledonia Chamber of Commerce, Area Rotary Caledonia and International, the Caledonia Women's Club. He thanked all for the Christmas activities, Board members expressed their comments. Robertson lead off saying that he wants to show a link to the gover­ nor's dashboard and how it works as a way of stimulat­ ing strategic thinking by the board. Christian reiterated an earlier point, that the new precincts are effective for the August 2012 primary, not the presidential primary on Feb. 28,2012. Hermenet took the oppor­ tunity to say that trails were still high on his priority list, Koopmans indicated that, in addition to the Planning Commission and the PSAC, he is interested in farmland Snoeyink preservation. thanked the community for its support of the fire depart­ ment and thanked American troops for their efforts.

The event served as a fundraiser for college scholarships to be awarded to area high school graduates in May 2012. “Support for the Caledonia Rotary's scholar­ ship fundraiser was gratify­ ing,” said Ron Anger, presi­ dent of the club. “Despite* colder temperatures and the initial shock of seeing snow on the ground that day, com­ munity members turned out for the pasta dinner, which was graciously donated and hosted by Ben Reynolds of the Cobblestone.” Along with a full meal, this year’s event included an area with games and activi­ ties, as well as pre-holiday bargains at the silent auction tables. Area businesses donated scores of products and serv­ ices for the auction, includ­ ing golf and lodging pack­ ages, Griffins and Red Wings tickets, fine dining certificates, house wares, handcrafted purses and bags, spa. and salon gifts, and more.

Kezlarian asked her students. “What do they share with our student body?" It’s an atypical question for people that age. Unlike the adult workplace, where attributes and production are required, such qualities are not demanded of teens. Yet these students pondered the question, and each thought of one word describing themselves and how they improve the school. Then, they turned those single words into art.

They were put to new use as bases, supporting the students’ views of their achievements. Hoebeke was pleased with the project.

She start­ ed at the age of 36. “Some of them have been broken, and I've thrown them away," Hoebeke said. “There are a few of them that I kept. 1 didn't want to give all of them way — some memen­ tos.’’ But for the most part, Hoebeke was ready to clear the trophies out of her base­ ment.

The man called 911 because his dog had bit­ ten his 81-year-old mother. Deputies discovered by inter­ view, that the dog had bitten the woman because she was hitting her son with her cane, and the dog reportedly is pro­ tective of the son. The dog, a 6-year-old border collie/Lab mix is the family pet. The woman was treated for a scrape on her hand. The man said he did not want to press charges against his mother for the caning, and deputies recommended the man quar­ antine the animal for several days. A report of the incident was forwarded to Barry County Animal Control and the prosecutor's office. < I xz - - — ¥ I ■ T > December Sale \ All Silk Christmas Door Wreaths, Arrangements and Decorations Xastuw fMnmw ‘Rjuruju? ^oraC^^fis 7 5% Off 203 E.

The official minutes of a meeting constitute the legal record. Robertson was con­ cerned about compatibility with the existing system and Damghani assured him that was not a problem. Trustee Dale Hermenet moved to approve an expenditure of $3,021. The cost would be reduced by another $299 should an additional monitor not be required. The last item of business was a request from planner Lynee Wells for the addition of a fee schedule and escrow amount for administrative reviews. Such reviews apply to an approved site plan, do not require an appearance before the planning commis­ sion, and are performed by the township planning offi­ cer. The board approved amending the fee schedule to require a $250 application fee for an administrative review and a $500 escrow deposit. During the initial public comment period, Tina McMillin, rose to request one or, possibly, two street­ lights in her neighborhood. McMillin's concern is safety for her son who walks a sin­ gle-lane road to the bus stop at Houston and Keiser Drive. She would like a street light at Houston and Acorn. McMillin also feels a second light is needed at Houston and Keiser Drive. Robertson explained the process for creating a required special. assessment district, saying that the; cost would upon McMillin ---,J fall -----and her neighbors. Harrison said that there were night sky issues and the dark sky was valued by residents as part of the rural atmosphere. McMillin suggested cutoff lights might be an option. The next regularly sched­ uled meeting of the board will be at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 4, 2012, at the township offices, 8196 Broadmoor Avenue.

But despite the volatility of the past 11 months, you can make some positive year-end investment moves, including the follow­ ing: • Boost your 401(k) contri­ butions. If your employer permits you to make extra contributions to your 401 (k), put in as much as you can afford, up to contribution lim­ its. You typically contribute « pretax dollars, so the more you invest, the lower your taxable income. Plus, your earnings have the potential to grow on a tax-deferred basis. • Consider converting to a Roth IRA. You might benefit by converting a traditional Individual w Retirement Account (IRA), which offers tax-deferred earnings, to a Roth IRA, whose earnings grow tax free, providing you don’t start taking withdrawals until you’re at least age 59 1/2 and you’ve held your account for five years. Keep in mind, though, that you’d need the money available to pay the taxes that would be due on such a conversion. Also, income limits apply to Roth IRA contributions. This is a complex decision that you should discuss with your qualified lax professional. • Set up automatic contri­ butions for 2012. Like most people, you may find it diffi- Sc*? Eh I I !S * & • ft I 1 I 1 I i ! if i LW’ LI i 1 Ir 1' -T- JO i ? ! BB V/. J. I aA ii il VI 1 I I 1 1 b I / I I * z taiII tarts ifo wrfrt ii te si« '■ THIS CHRISTMAS WE VE GOT ■LOVE’ WRITTEN ALL OVER YOU fit tit I cult to come up with a lumpsum payment to fully fund your IRA for the year. Why not set up an automatic investment plan for 2012? By directing your bank to trans­ fer the same amount each month from your checking or savings account to your IRA, you’ll find it easier to ’’max out” on your IRA — and, al the same lime, you’ll boost your investment discipline. • Contribute to a 529 plan. When you contribute to a 529 plan, your earnings have the potential to grow lax free, provided they are used for qualified higher •education expenses. (However, 529 plan distributions not used for qualified expenses may be subject to income lax and a 10% penalty.) Furthermore, your 529 plan contributions may be deductible from your stale taxes. Discuss this with your tax professional. • Re-evaluate vour investment mix. It’s a good idea to review your investment mix al least once a year to help ensure your portfolio is still aligned with your goals, risk tolerance and time horizon. Due to changes in market value, your portfolio can undergo subtle, but signifi­ cant, changes — even if you took no action yourself. Consequently, take the lime to review your holdings with your investment professional to help ensure you’re still “on track." • Review drvour insurance coverage. If you’ve experi­ enced any changes in your life in 2011 — new spouse, new child, divorce, new job. etc. — • you may need to review your life insurance fei/Prf .ail I- coverage to make sure that it’s still sufficient for your needs and that you still have the correct beneficiaries in place. To determine if any of these actions are right for your situation, consult with your financial advisor and qualified tax professional. By taking these and other steps, you can close out 2011 on a positive note and get 2012 off to a good start.

Saturday. December 10, 2011 Diet and exercise are best defense against diabetes by David DeDecker Staff Writer Less than a week after Thanksgiving, people inter­ ested in learning more about diabetes gathered at Pennock Hospital. Shelly Hart, RN, is the diabetes educator at Pennock Health Services, and spoke Nov. 29 about the rise of diabetes cases in the United States. The continu­ ing health series presenta­ tions are sponsored by Pennock Health Services. Diabetes affects nearly 26 million people, or 8 percent of the U.S. population. Nine percent of the adult popula­ tion of Michigan has dia­ betes. The number is predict­ ed to double by 2030, she said. Seven million diabetics are undiagnosed, 57 million people are pre-diabetic. Diabetes, the leading cause of kidney failure, lower limb amputations and new cases of blindness among adults, is the seventh leading cause of death in the U.S. Two out of •I» three children bom today O are Energy Smart ____ REMODELING windows _________________ expected to develop dia­ betes. Total health care costs related to diabetes in the U.S. is SI74 billion every year, she said. The cost of caring for a person with diabetes is twice that of someone without dia­ betes. Hart said risk factors for developing diabetes include having an immediate family member diagnosed with dia­ betes; being age 45 to 64; a woman who gave birth to a child over nine pounds; •It. being under 65 years old and getting little to no exercise; or being over 65 years old. Diabetes is a treatable dis­ ease. but not curable. According to Hart, the word diabetes means too much sugar. It is a disease in which there is too much sugar in the blood. “The food we eat is digest­ ed and broken down into three main things — protein, fat and carbohydrates,” said Hart. “The carbohydrates O are further broken down into glucose, or sugar. Those are interchangeable — glucose and sugar. Glucose is what the body's cells need for energy. It's fuel for our body. Glucose hangs out in the bloodstream until it can be used by cells.” Glucose cannot get into the cells for fuel without the help of the hormone insulin, which is produced by the pancreas. Insulin acts as the key and attaches itself to a cell wall, then “opens the door” for glucose to enter the cell, she explained. A healthy body has a balance of glucose molecules and insulin molecules. According to Hart, two things happen with diabetes. First, the pancreas tends to get worn out and over time is forced to work harder to pro* r ROOFING FREE IMS TALLATION!

Secondly, a person's cells become resistant to the insulin produced by the co body. The glucose that is not used remains in the blood and stream eventually I •>IO •mes fat. The more fat. oeco the more resistant the cells become to insulin. Hart said there are three types of diabetes. Type 2 is the most common form and usually occurs later in life, however it is fast becoming a childhood epidemic. Type 1 diabetes (sometimes called juvenile diabetes) is usually diagnosed in childhood, when the pancreas simply stops making insulin. Gestational diabetes occurs during preg­ nancy and is a result of the pancreas not producing enough insulin for the mother and child. This condition ges­ tational form usually goes away after childbirth. Diabetes is diagnosed through several lab tests and symptoms, said Hart. A hemoglobin AIC test meas­ ures a person's average blood glucose level over a three-month period. A nor­ mal AIC is 6 percent or less. A fasting plasma glucose should be below 126 mil- ligrams per deciliter, and a fasting blood sugar value should register between 70 and 99 for non-diabetics. Tell-tale symptoms of dia­ betes are extreme thirst, increased urination, sleepi­ ness, blurry vision and increased hunger. “One of the biggest com­ plaints I see with new ly diag­ nosed diabetics is that their mouth is always dry.” said Hart. “They are always thirsty and cannot drink enough water. The reason being, the body is trying to tell them something. The excess sugar needs to be flushed out of the system because it is not good for the system. So, the body becomes extremely thirsty.” Complications associated with diabetes, she said, are heart disease and stroke; high blood pressure; kidney disease; eye and vision prob­ lems, including blindness; nervous system disease, including lessened sensation in hands and feet; and ampu­ tation of lower limbs. “Two of three people with diabetes die from a stroke,” said Hart. “In 2006, about 65,700 lower-limb amputations were performed on people with diabetes. About one-third of people with dia­ betes have severe periodon- tai disease. “The best way to prevent diabetes is lifestyle interven­ tion — basically, healthy eating and exercise,*’ she said. “Experts say losing extra weight and increasing activity will reduce the risk of Type 2 Diabetes by 58 percent. So, watch carbohy­ drate intake because that is the easiest food to break down into excess glucose.*’ The American Diabetes Association recommends monitorin carbohydrate intake, eating a variety of fruits and vegetables, choos­ ing whole-grain foods, eat­ ing small portions of hearthealthy fats such as in nuts, and eating low-fat or skim milk, yogurt and cheese. The ADA also recommends 30 minutes of exercise a day, walking to destinations, lim­ iting time in front of televi­ sion and getting up to stretch during commercials. Hart told the luncheon participants that the best way to prevent diabetes is to see a physician on a regular basis, eat right and get plenty of exercise.

The biggest buck was a nine-point brought in by Mitchell Neeb of Clarksville. Gray said this was Neeb's first deer. With it, the 12year-old won a Remington Express 12-gauge 870 Shotgun. No ladies entered the buck contest, so organizers altered the ‘woman with the largest buck' category and created a next biggest buck award. That honor went to Adam Klahn of Clarksville. Brian Rowe of Clarksville won the title of oldest hunter. Ethan Burd of Alto, at age 10, was the youngest hunter, and Marcus Lilliana, also of Alto, brought in the smallest buck. In the chili contest, win­ ners were Sharon Weeks of Saranac, first; Sophia Fuss of Alto, second; Charles Martin of Clarksville, third; and Liz Gray of Clarksville, fourth. Clarksville’s Judy Purdy was honored for the best name, “Bad Shot Chili: Missed the Buck and Shot the Rooster."

The Spartans, who come into the season ranked ninth in Division 2, topped the Scots 64-12. Jenison beat the Scots 43-21. The Fighting Scots had six voids in their line-up, includ­ ing at the four lowest weight classes. “We’ve got a few kids that have injuries,” said Caledonia head coach Shawn Veitch. “Could they have wrestled tonight? Yeah, probably. But it wasn't worth taking the chance that they tweak that injury and be out for four more weeks. “Then, we've got seven of our guys that just aren’t where they need to be on their weight yet. Hopefully Friday we’ll be able to get our weights down and alpha and be ready to wrestle.” Travis Pitsch and Joel Wenk were both ready to wrestle, scoring a pair of wins each for Caledonia on the night. Pitsch won by forfeit at 171 pounds against Sparta, then pinned Jenison’s Glenn Doss in 1 minute 32 seconds. Wenk pinned Sparta’s Ken Hanson in 5:37 at 215 pounds, then followed that up by pinning Jenison’s Joel Wenk in 4:38. COME SEE OUR NEW STORE & OUR GREA T IN-STOCK SELECTION OF LAMINATE.

December 10, 2011 Unity Knights off to by Brett Bremer Sports Editor A trio of senior captains are set to lead the way for the Unity Knights varsity boys ’ •It hockey team this winter. That trio includes center Taylor Klotz, goalie Brandon Johnson and 1lefender Russell Ellmger who all helped the team to five wins a year ago as well as academic all-state honors. Klotz and Johnson are •u seniors at Hastings High School. and Russell is a sen­ ior at Thomapple Kellogg. Those two schools combine with Hopkins and Wayland Union to form the Knights’ team. Head coach Tom Elliott said that the program’s abili­ ty to bring the four schools’ players together to play as one unity is one of the strengths of the team. Another strength is condi­ tioning, which he believes will really help out tbe learn as the season wears on. The varsity hockey season is nearly a month old already. The Knights are 2-4 so far, and 2-1 in the O-K Rainbow •It Tier III. They opened the season with backto-back wins over the Grand Rapids Public Schools Team, winning 11-1 Nov. 16 and again 10-2 Nov. 23. Unity has dropped four straight since then, including a 7-1 defeat to Northview in league action Dec. 3. It will be a growing process throughout the year for the Knights. “We are a young team with not much hockey sense,” said Elliott. “We need to learn to play the ame better without the puck, time and space.” One of the youngsters who the Knights are expecting big things from is big freshman defender Kyle Kane.

Despite not having a big group, TK/Hastings head coach Tyler Bultema is happy that the majority of his teams’ swimmers do have experience in the pool. The group is led by sen­ iors Craig Gagnon, Zack Zwiernikwoski, Chad Singleterry, Jacob Gray, Josh Wheeler, junior Daegan Mix and sophomores Levi Ryfiak and Dexx VanHouten. That group helped the Trojan team place fourth in its conference a year ago. Coach Bultema said he also expects freshmen Jared Bailey and Joe Lamburg to help the team score points this winter. The field has been leveled a bit in the league this sea­ son. The O-K Conference reworked its tiers this year. The Trojans are now in a tier that includes Calvin Christian, Wayland, Unity Christian, West Catholic, Creston/Central, Union and Ottawa Hills. “I believe we can compete with all the teams in our new 117 Phone: 616-891-2121 Fax: 616-891-8074 9790 Cherry Valley Caledonia, MI 49316 Ph 795-7911 Fax 795-1677 Nfi PQ14(/ro Pharmacy Care Phone: Phone: 616-891-7205 4652 N.

The group includes senior heavyweight Adrian Foster, who earned All-State honors by placing sixth at the Division 2 Individual State Finals at the end of last sea­ son.

That doesn't mean there's a lot of experience though. Greg Hamilton, a 6-1 guard, returns for his third varsity season. He was hon­ orable mention all-confer­ ence in the O-K Gold a year ago, averaging 15 points per game. There aren't many other guys who have played many varsity minutes for the Trojans though. The season opener, a w in over Ionia, was the first var­ sity game for the team's coach Mike Rynearson. Rynearson is very familiar with most of the players he has, having been the junior varsity coach at Thornapple Kellogg for the past five sea­ sons. He calls Hamilton a player who can “shoot from the out­ side and finish around the basket. He is exceptionally smart in the classroom and on the court. He's the type of player who makes everyone around him better." The list of seniors return- K Gold Conference season.

(Photo by Perry Hardin) Thomapple Kellogg’s varsity boys’ basketball team opened the season with a nonconference victory over Ionia for the second straight season Tuesday. A year ago, the Trojans built a big lead only to see the Bulldogs come roaring back late. This time, the Trojans built their big lead and held onto it as they scored a 47-30 win in Middleville. That wasn’t the only thing different about this contest. It was also the first victory for new varsity head * coach Michael Rynearson. He said that both teams had some bugs to work out in the first contest. The passing and overall team chemistry were not there, Rynearson said. Brsmrsiff I I Greg Hamilton led TK with 18 points, ten rebounds and four assists. The Trojans also got 15 points from Brendan Hudson and 11 rebounds and four points from Caden Francisco. The Trojans built a 17-10 lead in the first half, and then Rynearson said the second half went much better for his team. “We rebounded well and got some easy run outs on them,” Rynearson said, “Hamilton took charge when he needed to, getting to the rim and knocking down some mid range jumpers.” Hudson hit three threepointers which allowed the Trojans to push their lead to as many as 25 points. TK outscored the Bulldogs 21-11 in the third quarter. “The last four minutes of the game we really slowed things down and tried to work the clock,” Rynearson said. “We struggled a bit with this, but were able to hold them off for the victory. Jake Heppe led Ionia with ten points, while his team­ mate Matthew Schanski added nine points. The Trojans are 1-1 after falling 57-55 in their home opener against Comstock Park Friday. TK rallied a bit in the fourth quarter, pulling within two points in the end after trailing by 43-37 at the end of three quarters. It was a big night for a couple of guards.

As I am sure your publica­ tion would agree, it is critical for the public good that accurate and complete informa­ tion is communicated by the free press, especially on crucial and complicated public policy issues such as health care reform.

I also indicated that while PPACA allows the states a wide range of flexibility in implementing their own exchange, the federal govern­ ment does include two main requirements within PPACA for all exchanges. These requirements are that each exchange provide a toll-free service hotline/customer numbers) and the ability for their citizens to access infor­ mation about the online exchange tools and how to determine if they qualify for Medicaid or a federal sub­ sidy. Rep. Yonker and 1 both informed the audience that currently there are two states exchanges: active with Massachusetts and Utah. I suggested that in order to independently assess if exchanges provide the solutions to bringing down health care costs, it is helpful to look at the results of the two existing exchanges. The Massachusetts Health Connector has been in exis­ tence for a little over five years. The Utah Health Exchange just went fully operational in the fall of 2010. I explained that Utah's exchange does not yet have the enrollment numbers to provide an accurate, long­ term assessment of the costs and benefits associated with the exchange. The Utah exchange currently has approximately 5,000 mem­ bers enrolled. However, when looking at the Massachusetts exchange. * Fl .

The council agreed that it should explore all of its options, including hiring Getty, to find the most costeffective one. Thus, it agreed that Fleury should begin preparing Requests for Proposals for the positions of planner, zoning administra­ tor and engineering person­ nel. One of the things the council hopes to leam with these RFPs is whether or not each position would be filled separately or if the planner and zoning administrator positions could be combined. “We need to cast our bait out into the lake,” Shellinger said. “People are hungry.” These RFPs will take time to prepare - Fleury con­ firmed that the proposals do not include a salary or sched­ ule of hours. Those who respond to the RFPs will inform the council what they require for their services. “We're just shopping,” Shellinger said. Getty presented the coun­ cil with the revisions made to the Thornapple Parks and Recreation Commission. The board will vote to approve the revisions at the Dec. 20 meeting as well as determine who will fill the village rep­ resentative position on the board. The most notable changes would start the fiscal year with the calendar year rather than from July 1 to June 30 and would require checks to be signed by both the treas­ urer and another officer of the commission. Any objections the coun­ cil had were placated by Getty and Fleury assuring it that both the lawyer for the village and the school district ■ I ies Moming Star Church in Middleville will offer a serv­ ice of remembrance and hope Wednesday, Dec. 21, at 7 p.m. for people who wish to set aside their burdens and renew their strength and spirIt.

Thornapple Kellogg elementary schools to get wireless Internet by Casey Cheney Staff Writer With what it views as the “aggressive integration of technology” and the pur­ chase of laptop computers, the Thornapple Kellogg oard of Education unani­ mously voted at its Dec. 12 meeting to install wireless Internet in the Lee and Page elementary schools. The project will cost $9,891, which will come out of the 2007 capital projects technology budget. The work is to be completed dur­ ing winter break Wireless capability won’t permeate the whole school but, rather, certain hot spots. “As we see more and more need and demand, we'll phase it in,” said Superintendent Gary Rider. “It will be a quick, easy phasing in,” Finance and Operations Director Christine Marcy added. On a related issue, the board was presented with information and will vote to pilot Discovery the Education Assessment. The program assesses students individually and as a class in math, language, arts and reading. This software, which if fully web-based, allows teachers and board members to compare performance on a local, state and national scale. It can then track the progress of those students and classes from grade to grade. Assistant Superintendent Tom Enslen said the pro­ gram also allows teachers to construct learning probes in the Progress Zone to target remediation. The data is stored in a library where teachers and board members can search, store and share probes. “Teachers appreciate this tool so much more, and it’s cheaper,” Enslen said, com­ paring it to the Measures of Academic Progress program the school used to use. Enslen cited instant feed­ back as another benefit of the Discovery program. However, he added, the pro­ gram is not as strong a growth model as the MAP program is. The pilot will run in mid­ Representatives January. from Discovery Education Assessment will come in for an evaluation, as will a rep­ resentative from Forest Hills, where the program has already been implemented. The board can then vote on whether or not to pur­ chase the software, which will cost approximately $6,300 per year. The board may also be considering an expansion to the TK high school curricu­ lum. Rachel Cobb presented the board with two course proposals: a cadet teaching course and Marketing II. Cobb said the school used to have a cadet teaching pro­ gram, but it went away of because the state Michigan disapproved with how the classes were being conducted. Students, she said, were more teacher' clerical with assistants duties. The proposed course would, Cobb said, “explore what teaching is all about in the classroom.” Cadet teachers interact with students as well as par­ ticipate in cadet teaching curriculum. “Contact time is the num­ ber one goal,” she said. “There is curriculum, too, to help them train.” Students in the cadet pro­ gram have the opportunity to work both in the middle elementary and school school settings, The Marketing II course would allow students who take marketing before the senior year a way to follow up and learn more. Currently, Cobb said, “There’s no opportunity for them to take marketing again.” She added that there’s seemed to be adequate interest in a second marketing class, which would discuss V 4 I *1 I I J H II See WIRELESS, pg. 8 I I Library report clarifies issues Legal saga not quite in Yankee Springs Township over for Gun Lake Tribe by Fran Fa ver man by Casey Cheney Staff Writer The decade-long legal bat­ tle surrounding the Gun Lake Casino, which opened in February, could set a nation­ al precedent when it hits the Supreme Court next year. The court reinstated former Wayland Township Trustee David Patchak’s lawsuit, which targets both the MatchE-Be-Nash-She-Wish band of Pottawatomi Indians and the U.S. Department of the Interior. The suit claims that the Gun Lake band has no right to the land, alleging that Kenneth Salazar, secretary of the Department of the Interior, violated the Environmental National Policy Act and Indian Gaming Regulatory Act. This violation occurred I when taking the land into trust, a necessary step to the opening and operating of a tit casino. The case, picked up and approved to move forward by the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals earlier this year, had been dismissed by the U.S. Circuit Court in February of 2008. Even in the 2008 dis­ missal, however, one of the judges on the panel, Janice Rogers Brown, dissented on the decision. According to an Indian Country Today article by Matthew Fletcher, Brown supported the claim that, “Section 5 of the Indian Reorganization Act, the statute that authorizes the secretary to take land into trust for Indian tribes, was an unconstitutional delegation of congressional authority. The Supreme Court could take this case one of several ways. The judges could reverse the appellate deci­ sion, or choose not to exam­ ine and reverse a decision made in a smaller court cir­ cuit. This would allow the casino to continue unabated, ending its saga in the legal system. The justices, however, could set a precedent by rul­ ing that the land was taken into trust unlawfully. This would effectively put an end to the casino's Class III capabilities and, consequent­ ly, the lion’s share of its rev­ enue. The casino has some 900 employees and has given millions in revenue-sharing to local governments and municipalities. Sta# Writer Disappointment and con­ fusion that tipped into anger over lack of library services took on greater clarification with a report presented to the Yankee Springs Township Board of Trustees on Dec. 8. The report, from a Library Research Committee com­ missioned by Supervisor Al McCrumb this past summer, outlines the history of the problem, explains the differ­ ences between the facilities involved, and explores options. Since last spring the 30 percent of Yankee Springs township residents who live in the Wayland Union School District have not been able to access full library services; their Cooperative Lakeland library cards were revoked because the township does not support the library coop­ erative financially. In the jargon of govern­ ment, Yankee Springs town­ ship is “underfunding library services.” Users of library services in the affected area suddenly found themselves up the creek without a paddle. The problem was exacerbated further by the discovery that a policy of the Lakeland Cooperative prohibits other libraries in the eight-county See LIBRARY, pg. 9 In This Issue... • Caledonia musicians finish tour with local performances • Caledonia Women’s Club closes out year • Senior citizens attend Thornapple Kellogg's annual holiday lunch • Foster hits milestone as team goes 1-1 at quad / I �Y. - ♦ Page 2/The Sun and News, Saturday, December 17, 2011 New Kent Co. program helps residents recover from suicide loss At a time when many peo­ ple are excited about the hol­ idays, some are struggling with loss of a loved one.

Thornapple Township approves Thornapple Area Parks and Recreation Commission agreement by Casey Cheney Staff Writer Two of the three necessary entities have approved the revised Thornapple Area Parks Recreation and Commission agreement, Both the Thornapple Township Board of Trustees and the Thomapple Kellogg Board of Education voted unanimously to approve the agreement on Monday night. The village council will take official action on the agreement at its Dec. 20 meeting. In other action at its meet­ ing on . Dec. 12, the Thomapple Township board also voted in favor of the proposal for new telephone service from 8x8, Inc. In addition to modernizing phone service that is current­ ly long outdated, Treasurer Debra Buckowing said the new phone system will pre­ vent back-ups. For example, Buckowing said she receives a majority of the phone calls this time of year due to tax season. With 8x8, Inc., callers can reach her directly rather than callingA the township office first to channel the calls to her. The only mitigating issue with the new phone service is that it comes with both an advantage and a disadvan­ tage: 8x8, Inc. works via the Internet and, thus, will go out if the Internet does. Trustee Ross DeMaagd said that such occurrences would be rare and brief. The board also unani­ mously approved a measure that will increase from $40 to $45 membership in the Thornapple Ambulance Partnership. Chief David Middleton said fees must be boosted to keep the township's head above water. The service currently receives $9,000 each year in membership fees, which means there are approximately 200 members. This $5 boost will add anoth­ er $1,000 annually. More membership, Middleton said, is equally important to TAPP’s sur­ vival. “We need to sell ourselves better. There’s no doubt about that,” he said. Middleton, possibly with a colleague from the depart­ ment, was approved to attend MIOSHA training sessions Call 269-945-9554 for ____ _ MB M M throughout the state. He requested that two of them go because, “that way we can have a team who can work on this together.” The board's motion allowed no more than $2,300 for the classes, but Middleton said he can get a grant that would keep the price below that.

He observed that then as now sometimes sur­ veyors disagreed and unlike today, tended to comment publicly in unfavorable terms on the competence of their fellow practitioners. A surveyor named Musgrove evins had platted the town­ ship and apparently did not do a very good job because the county surveyor took over the job; he later described his predecessor's written description of his work as “moonshine.” Russ Stanton, a former Orangeville Township super­ visor and trustee, presented a ledger containing 50 years’ worth of tax records for midBaltimore 19th century Township to the society. He had received them from his uncle who had been the treasurer of the township. Many people in the audi­ ence said they had family connections to the records and enjoyed the opportunity to use the actual physical records to look up taxes paid by their relatives on the property. A picture of the first house built on the property where the township hall is located also was donated to the soci­ ety. The society normally meets on the first Tuesday of the month at 7 p.m.; the loca­ tion of the January 2012 meeting was not available at press time. able at the church during the community Holly.

To participate in the spirit of the holiday season, you may be thinking of making some charitable gifts. If so, you’ll no doubt enjoy helping a group that does valuable work. • But to begin with, it's important to understand just how necessary your gifts are to the country's social fabric. Given the effects of the Great Recession and the slow recovery, it's not surprising to leam that charitable giving fell a combined 13% in 2008 and 2009, after adjusting for inflation, according to The Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University. And although 2010 giving increased by 2.1%, again adjusted for inflation, many groups are seeing tough times as 2011 comes to a close. So your gift counts. And it can count for you, ^0. By contributing to a qualified tax-exempt organi­ zation [e.g., a charitable group that has received 501(c)(3) status from the IRS], you may earn valuable tax deductions. This is true whether you give cash or another type of asset, such as stocks or real estate. And you may be able to get further tax benefits if the noncash asset you’ve donated has appreci­ ated in value since you pur­ chased it. Making charitable gifts now may he*P y°u recluce your taxable estate. As you may know, the estate tax exemption level has fluctuated in recent years, so it’s hard for any of us to say for sure that we won’t be subjecting our estates to these taxes. However, that doesn't mean y°u can 1 ta^e stePs now to P*an f°r 1»!• ssible future estate taxes. One such step might involve establishing a charitable remainder trust. Under this arrangement, you’d place some assets, such as stocks or real estate, in a trust, which could then use the assets to pay you an income stream over a certain period of time.

Why? Because the library is a member of the cooperative. How did Yankee Springs Township get be an under­ funded participant? The answer lies in history. In 1988, Michigan decid­ ed that every part of the state should have access to library services. Following the dis­ solution of the Barry County District Library system, the township contracted with for Thornapple-Kellogg library services. The principal funding mechanism was the revenue derived from penal fines allocated to the township. Over time, the courts decid­ ed they needed the revenue and took it (by no means unique to' Barry County).

The idea actually came out of continuing conversa­ tions with the Barry County Economic Development Alliance about the need for local career training,” says Fred Jacobs, publisher at JAd Graphics in Hastings. “The Barry Intermediate School District became our facilitator and, in 2007, helped us identify where local jobs of the future were going to be and we looked for ways to provide training opportunities in four fields: medical, mechanical, culi­ nary arts, and welding.” A health career program run by KCC began shortly Editor The extenuating uncer­ tainties of a struggling econ­ omy may be just the reality that a dream of some 15 years ago needed to come true today.

The welding program announced this week will be the plan’s third step and will offer 20 slots in a program to be led by a KCC instructor and modeled, perhaps, much like the Gilmore program in which adult mentors assist and provide a closer instructor-to-student ratio. Slots have been tentatively reserved for high school students, college students, and adults who may be inter­ ested in training to reenter the job field or in improving a situation at a current employer. Funding is expected to be covered, in part, by dual enrollment funds for high school students and by work­ force development funds through the Michigan Works program. KCC is extending the start-up money needed to get the program started with the new semester beginning in January. A fund raising committee led by Jacobs and KCC President Dennis Bona is charged with developing the funding needed to reim­ burse KCC for the start-up costs and for ongoing pro­ gram expenses. “For the last 15 to 20 years there’s been a large void for post-secondary occupational trades,” points out Hastings High School Principal Tim Johnston. “For our high school to provide training that leads to a certificate that leads directly to a job oppor­ tunity helps fill that void.” KCC-Fehsenfeld Center Director Tim i Sleevi said he sees benefit for current KCC students who now commute to Battle Creek for occupational trade classes that can­ not be offered by the KCC PUBLISHER’S NOTICE: All real estate advertising in this news­ paper is subject to the Fair Housing Act and the Michigan Civil Rights Act which collectively make it illegal to advertise “any preference, limitation or discrimi­ nation based on race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, national origin, age or martial status, or an intention, to make any such preference, limitation or discrimination.” Familial status includes children under the age of 18 living with parents or legal custodians, pregnant women and people securing custody of children under 18.

'Dial’s the only week on the O-K Gold Conference slate that would be tougher than what the Thomapple Kellogg varsity girls’ basketball team faced this week. Die Trojans were downed 61-16 by Grand Rapids Catholic Central Tuesday in Middleville, and then fell al home to Wayland Friday night 75-40. Some progress showed on the scoreboard, and it certain­ ly showed on the court. Wayland’s full-court pres­ sure was a pain for the Trojans' to handle all evening long Friday. TK head coach Jesse Bays said his girls did what they were supposed to do against it, but just didn’t make the plays. “Our press breaker that we ran, that’s not a problem,” Bays said. “The press-breaker works. We had people open, we just didn't hit them and that was because they’re just not used to it yet. “Nine JV players from last year are now on varsity, so Wildcats to a 30-15 advantage after a decent start for TK. The Trojans had trouble with the Wildcat's pressure and with the Wildcats' height, Wayland's 6-2 senior center Molly Lameyer finished with 27 points. She was 7-of-10 at the free throw line for the night. The Wildcats also got 12 points from Jenna Jamieson, »!• 11 from Presley Hudson, and eight each from Haley Obetts and Autumn Anderson. The Trojan attack was led by Crystal Smith who finished with ten points.

First, the highlights of 2011, like those rare, mild summer days. Crane-Finkbeiner The the spanning bridge Thornapple River north of Middleville in July. Though foul weather led to the can­ cellation of the ribbon-cutting, this concluded the eight years of planning and three years of construction on what is the most expensive project in the history of the County Barry Countv Road Commission. Bradford White Corporation broke ground on its new international techni­ cal center in October. The training center, more than 19.000 feet in size, should be completed by March ot 2012. It will be used to train service technicians, manu­ facturers, representatives, wholesale distributors and Bradford White employees. Pennock Health Services did some groundbreaking of its own for’ the Gun Lake center. Reaching out to serve the needs of its expanded community, Pennock Health Services broke ground Nov. 17 on a new $850,000 family practice office and diagnos­ tic center in Yankee Springs Township. The 5.000 square-foot cen­ ter will be located near Patterson Avenue and M-179 Highway (former Chief Noonday Road), and will be centrally located to serve the Wayland, Gun Lake and Yankee Springs communi­ ties. After more than a decade of hurdles and legal battles, the Gun Lake Casino finally opened its doors. The casino soon began its revenue-shar­ ing with local governments and has enjoyed success beyond the expectations. Despite the fact that its legal issues are not quite over, rep-' resentatives from the casino said there is no threat for its doors to close. Like the snowy cold occu­ pying the first several months, many things in Middleville remained unchanged: annual fundrais­ ers, government meetings, the strengthening of organi­ zations and the loss of beloved residents. But, as the details of each season vary year to year, so did the details of what Middleville citizens count on every year. Each year, loss is expect­ ed. The pole bam belonging to Frank Brown burned Monday, June 14, just after 4 p.m. Thornapple Township Emergency Services responded to the pole bam fire at the farm on Garbow Road near M-37 north of Middleville. By the time. TTES left after 8:30 p.m., it had used more than 45,000 gallons of water fighting the blaze. Water was shuttled from hydrants at the Middle Villa Inn. as needed. Tragic automobile-related deaths, and Lupita Cowham, a school bus driver for 22 years, passing away, shook the village. School buses were adorned with pink rib­ bons to remember her battle with breast cancer and to honor her memory. Middleville also bid wish­ es to the now-retired Patricia Johns, reporter of more than a decade with the Sun and News. Always balancing those losses are people and places the township gains.

She secured her state medal with her first jump of the day, clearing 10-10, overcame some adversity to clear 11-10 on her third try at the height, and then earned her first state championship with the jump of 12-1. “I’ve been waiting for that since a couple of years ago, said London, who placed fifth at the state finals as a sophomore and eighth as a junior, her and is now continuing career at the vaulting career at University of South Florida. TK had one pole-vaulter on both the boys’ and girls medal stands at the state finals, on opposite ends. Matt Raymond earned the Trojan boys’ team's lone medal by placing eighth.

Rebecca Fleury also joined in as the village manager. Four candidates ran for two positions on the Thomapple Kellogg Board of Education in the May 3 election: Incumbent Tammy ierdecia and contenders Joyce Bobolts, Bill Scholtens and Josh Thomas. Bobolts and Thomas were welcomed to the board after winning the election. It was a tight rice, Bobolts receiving 582 votes, Thomas 513, Berdecia 491, and Scholtens 432. Additionally, the village council experimented with, and kept, the committee-ofthe-whole meeting structure. Schellinger touted the committee-of-the-whole meet­ ings as an excellent measure to ensure the smooth running of regular meetings and to keep everyone on the same page. Despite losing one of its most valuable staff mem­ bers, J-Ad Graphics added a new one in former Thomapple Kellogg teacher Doug VanderLaan. One of his former stu­ dents, Mike Schipper, a 1981 graduate of Thornapple Kellogg High School, was appointed Barry County District Court judge by Gov. Rick Snyder. The village gained for momentum future growth, much needed in the stagnant-at-best economy. The Middleville Village Council, the Thornapple Township Board and the Thomapple Kellogg school board all approved the revi­ sions to the Thornapple Area Parks and Recreation Commission Agreement. The most notable changes would start the fiscal year with the calendar year rather than from July 1 to June 30 and would require checks to be signed by both the treas­ urer and another officer of the commission. The Barry County Board of Commissioners approved Wk a request from Valerie Byrnes, executive director of the Barry County Economic Development Alliance, on behalf of a local company, ChemQuest, to extend the Renaissance Zone designa­ tion for a parcel of land in the Middleville Industrial Incubator. Byrnes told the airy County Board of Commissioners that the com­ pany had outgrown its cur­ rent industrial space in Yankee Springs and has been looking for a larger location in the county. Changes to the Town Center planned unit develop­ ment were also approved. The plan determined that four, four-unit buildings would be built. Each build­ ing would be separate from the building beside it. Charities, like all years, bonded the community and demonstrated the generosity of those within it.

The Middleville Rotary Club tagged on to the 24Hour Challenge with its annual spaghetti dinner, pro­ viding baked goods, as well. The Middleville United Methodist church men’s group provided a pancake breakfast during the event, along with an all-night con­ cession stand. It’s a commu­ nity-wide event. Not only did - the bicycle challenge bring community members together, but it drew in peo­ ple from hundreds of miles away. Fiscal costs, particularly of late, weigh heavy on the minds of the people of Middleville. Thomapple Kellogg School Superintendent Gary Rider predicted that the school would have to dip into emergency funds for the next several years, despite the more than $2.4 million trimmed from the budget the past two years. Still, enrollment at TK increased by 90 students, which somewhat eased the burden. Thomapple Township was able to celebrate a victory amidst budget cuts, dis­ pelling rumors that some layoffs may hit the fire department. In the midst of financial strains, other stories arose demonstrating the character and talent of the people liv­ ing in this village. Chief Warrant* Officer 2 Chris Sensing surprised his two children, Allie and Jacob, by appearing from Iraq via Skype, an Internet program that transfers live video and audio images. The helicopter pilot read to his children, as well as the other students present at McFall Elementary school, Happy Helicopters by Jill Turner and Noeline Cassettari. In on the secret was his wife, Kristen, who teaches a readiness class. Fran Jones, a paraprofes­ sional artist in the school dis­ trict, won a contest spon­ sored by The Grand Rapids was a cut-paper work called “City Friends.” •JI.

It is one of the single largest blocks of land in the town­ ship that could possibly be available for development. The letter offered to donate the land to the township over a period of years for use as parkland. the conditions Amon; specified in the letter were renewal of a mineral removal permit for 20 years, the esti­ mated lifetime of the existin sand reserves; permanent access to Den Hartigh resi­ dences on the property; a seat on the township parks and recreation board for an owner of the company; and assumption by the township of all costs related to the preparation of donation doc­ uments including appraisal fees, fees for land divisions and splits, and title fees. The estimated cost is approxi­ mately $40,000 to $50,000. Some restrictions would remain in effect for the first 50 years of the park’s life. Prohibited uses include those generatingI noise or traffic, such as a concert venue or motorcycle track. Occasional festivals or concerts would be permitted. The planning commission recommended to the town­ ship board that the extended permit be approved, and the board has approved the per­ mit. The question has been raised regarding how much parkland is enough. There are also some concerns about financing development of parks and trails within the township. Another project initiated this year was a feasibility study for a downtown devel­ opment authority. The study performed by township plan­ ners, Williams and Works Inc., focused on three options: a joint DDA with the Village of Caledonia, a stand-alone DDA for the township only and a stand­ alone DDA for the village. Township Caledonia Supervisor Bryan Harrison announced at the final meet­ ing of the board of trustees that the process of planning for a stand-alone DDA would begin.

The Caledonia Farmers Market has continued to do well. The market reached a sufficient critical mass to be able to hire a certified farm market manager. It also pro­ vides an outlet for some crafts produced by local arti­ sans. For the Village of Caledonia, the major decision this year was deciding not to join in a DDA with the township and not to pursue a stand-alone DDA at this time. The reason given for not pursuing a joint DDA was the disparity in the tax rates for operations between the township and the village; the disparity means that ini­ tially the village would be providing a great deal more financial support to the DDA than the township. A second concern related to the stand-alone DDA was the number of residences that would have had to be includ­ ed to make the DDA finan­ cially feasible. Since the basic premise of tax-incre­ mental financing is no increase in tax rates but to capture a portion of the increase in tax revenue caused by increases in the value of property, the inclu­ sion of residences means any tax dollars that normally would go for governmental operations would be diverted to the DDA. Faced with declining revenues, the vil- lage council decided the DDA was too risky. The third significant insti­ tution in the township is the Community Caledonia Schools, which includes much more than Caledonia Township and the Village of Caledonia. The 99.8-squaremile district faced continuing fiscal challenges in 2011. Cuts in the basic state-aid grant, which provides the single largest chunk of the district's finances, have forced measures that would not have been regarded as worth the effort a decade ago. The district completed paperwork associated with the criteria specified in Gov. Snyder’s Best Practices incentive program: the exis­ tence of collaborative agree­ •4 ments with neighboring dis­ tricts, the designation of the board as the policyholder for »!• employee group health insur­ ance, the agreement of employees to pay 10 percent of the cost of benefits, the privatization of at least one service, and the posting of a dashboard on its website. Approval of the application by the state means Caledonia will receive an additional $100 , _ per , , pupil, . . for approxi.. mately $400,000. to replace some of_ the some l . . funds lost when the state aid grant was reduced. A coup for the district is the land swap that enabled the district to acquire an additional 38 acres across Kraft Avenue from its main campus. Following negotia’ tions with the Suwyn family that took place over the spring and summer of 2011, the district was able to swap the 120-acre Bowman farm in a iowne Township for the 38 acres and a cash payment of $150,000.

Mark Jansen, who represents Caledonia, has one nowhere. Outcries from various groups, such as the Kent County Board of Commissioners, who were excluded from meetings of the 23-member committee, led to a retreat by the group. However a reconstituted committee has been put together; the drive toward consolidation of services favored by Gov. Rick Snyder appears to be continuing. The last major develop­ ment in the township this year took place when the township and TM Partners agreed to ask the Kent County Circuit Court to dis­ solve the consent judgment governing the Crossroads of Caledonia development. The judgment was amended six times during its 10-year his­ tory. Both sides agreed it was time to bring the develop­ ment into the regular plan­ ningA and zoning process. Part of the reason for the decision was the desire by the Mercantile Bank to sell the mall to Michael Brann, owner of Brann's Steakhouse and Grille Inc. He has opened one of his restaurants in Caledonia. The new facilities for Farmers Insurance Company came on line, and hirin X began to train people to work in the call and service center for agents located east of the Mississippi River.

The agreements, which follow the Dec. 13 approval of a similar three-year con­ tract with sheriff deputies, mean that three of the five county bargaining units have new agreements in place before the expiration of cur­ rent contracts on Dec. 31. The county is still negotiat­ ing with its command offi­ cers and with the Barry County Courthouse Employee Association. According to County Administrator Michael Brown, an early January tar­ get has been established to complete negotiations with the final two employee bar­ gaining units. In the newest agreement, current wage levels will remain in place for the first two years of the contracts with an option on the part of either party to reopen finan­ cial negotiations in 2014. As with sheriff deputies, the agreement with correc­ tions officers and sergeants groups addresses pension challenges. Current employ­ ees will maintain the existing defined-benefit pension pro­ gram but will pay an addi­ tional 2.5 percent to help fund it. A hybrid pension plan will be offered to new employees that will combine defined benefit and defined contribution features. Hospital and medical insurance will be capped, under state law, at $5,500 for single subscribers, $11,000 for two-person subscribers, and $15,000 for full family subscribers. Work force reduction steps are also incorporated to assure that, in the event of layoff reductions, part-time employees will be reduced first. Sick pay also has been adjusted to reflect hours rather than days. When the departments went to eight- to 10-hour 44 Workshop offered for people thinking of running for office The Barry Community Foundation is suggesting that anyone thinking of running for public office should reserve time in March to attend a two-part workshop.

In other business, the board approved the follow­ ing recommendations made at last week's committee-ofthe- whole meeting: • A grant contract with the Michigan Supreme Court’s administrative office for implementation of the Swift and Sure Sanction Pilot Program, which involves supervision of and guidance for individuals on probation, leading to their successful re­ entry into the community. • A contract with the state's Office of Community Corrections for GED instruc­ tion through Sept. 30. 2012. • A budget amendment allowing Historic Charlton Park to increase expenditures from its fund balance to make final payment on a loan from the Barry County Road Commissions for infra­ structure repairs and improvements. • A transfer of 2011 sur­ plus funds to the following internal service funds: vehi­ cle replacement, data pro­ cessing, and building reha­ bilitation. • The appointments of Eric Pessell and Tom Rook to the solid waste oversight committee. • The suspension of com­ mission bylaws to adjust the prescribed timing of each year's organizational meet­ ing. The 2012 organizational meeting will be at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 3. During the commissioner comment Jeff period, VanNortwick called his col­ leagues' attention to the ninth annual Michigan Family Farms Conference to be held at Lakeview High School in Battle Creek Jan. 14 and urged their advocacy of the event to constituents. “We are a heavily agricul­ tural county,” pointed out and this VanNortwick, might be a great opportunity if you know people out there who are on the edge.” In a phone interview fol­ lowing Tuesday's meeting, VanNortwick also highlight­ ed the opportunities avail­ able to Barry County fam­ ing entrepreneurs. “More and more entrepre­ neurial farmers are coming into our agricultural land­ scape,” said VanNortwick. “The cottage industry law recently signed by the gover­ nor has fostered a real growth area here and, for a 41 young person that might want to add it to their day job, there is real opportunity in farming.” Last year's conference attracted approximately 700 attendees. Titled “Building Your Success with Local Products, Partnerships and Planning,” the conference will include 18 seminars and will be keynoted by Dan Carmody, president of Detriot’s Eastern Market Corporation. A youth track has also been included which will feature discussions and activities for children up to age 16, includ­ ing presentation on careers in agriculture and natural resources and a field trip to Binder Park Zoo.

Caledonia, with its enroll­ ment of 1,324, dwarfed the other schools in the league. Ottawa Hills now leads the O-K Gold in enrollment with 978 students. Thornapple Kellogg is listed as having 898 students in the current plan. Caledonia was one of the 12 schools to vote no on the proposal.

This year, in addition to hitting the gym, learning that second language and getting better organized, why not also consider a few financial resolutions? What types of resolutions might you consider? Here are a few suggestions: • Contribute more to your retirement accounts. The new year means that you are one year closer to retirement. To help yourself build resources for the lifestyle you've envisioned as a retiree, try to boost your contributions to your 401 (k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan. You can do this if you get a salary increase and devote at least part of it to your 401 (k). At the same time, try to “max out” on your Individual Retirement Account (IRA), For 2012, you can contribute up to $5,000 to an IRA, or $6,000 if you’re 50 or older. • Reduce your debts. Look for ways to cut down or con­ solidate your debts. It may not be easy, but it’s worth the effort because the lower your debt load, the more money you'll have available to invest for the future. • Build an emergency fund. If you don't already have an emergency fund containing between six and 12 months’ worth of living expenses, start building one soon. Keep the money in a liquid vehicle — one that’s separate from your everyday checking and savings accounts. Without such an emergency fund, you may be forced to dip into your long-term investments to pay for unexpected costs, such as a major car repair, a new furnace or a large med­ ical bill. • Don’t overreact overreact to volatility. In 2011, the finan­ cial markets have been volatile, with big gains fol­ lowed by big drops followed by big gains — a true roller­ coaster pattern. Try not to let large, short-term price move­ ments influence your invest­ ment decisions. Many of the factors that cause jumps or declines are not that relevant to long-term results — and as an investor, you want to focus on the long term. Concentrate on building a portfolio that’s suitable for your individual goals and risk tolerance. • Be aware of different types of risk. For many investors, “investment risk” strictly means the possibility of losing principal when the value of an investment drops. Consequently, to cut back on their risk in the face of a volatile market, they may sell off stocks and load up on cer­ tificates of deposit (CDs), bonds and other so-called “safer” investments. But each investment actually carries its own type of risk. For exam­ ple, if you own CDs that pay a 2 percent return, and the inflation rate is 3 percent, you will lose purchasing power •It over time. And if you wanted to sell your bonds before they had matured, you'd have to sell them at a discount if the market interest, rate had risen above the “coupon” rate of your bond because no one would pay you full price for them. Just be aware that no investment is “risk-free.” and try to build a diversified port­ folio that can lessen the impact of one specific type of risk. •y following these sugges­ tions, you can go a long way toward making 2012 a good year in which to make progress toward your impor •It ­ tant financial goals. So plan ahead — and make the right moves. This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor. $ .s‘ u </1 ’ % ■ IA FL HAPPY I NEW YEAR!

It also can be a disaster when people forget that even the finest vintage beverage can turn deadly when mixed with driving, accordin g to a press Narconon from release International. “It is all too likely that blood alcohol content of guests following holiday par­ ties where alcohol has been served will be well above the limit where it is safe to get behind the wheel of a vehicle and drive home," said Bobby wiggiins, Drug senior Prevention Specialist at Narconon International. Quality expensive wines are often relied on to be tra­ ditional harbingers of holi­ day good cheer. The doorbell rings, the host answers and is handed a gaily wrapped bott|e of wjne ah the guests assembled anticipate the moment it will be uncorked and the first glasses poured, The furthest thing from any­ one’s mind, said Wiggins, is that this could be the advent of a tragedy that plays out only hours later when guests leave for homes near and far. Driving fatality statistics confirm that people who decide to drive even though their blood alcohol content is QVer tfoe iimjt are pUttin to themselves and others at risk on the highway. The Centers for Disease Control reports that every day, almost 30 people in the United States die in motor vehicle crashes .that •involve • an alcoholimpaired driver. This amounts to one death every 48 minutes. Wiggins said a factor is often overlooked by hosts and guests, alike. “People who drink fine wine do drink it for the buzz as much as any of its other qualities. Experiencing that buzz equates to reduced fac­ ulties. It doesn't matter whether the alcoholic bever­ age used to get the buzz was a can of beer, distilled liquors mixed or straight, cheap or the fanciest of wines,” said Wiggins. The National Institute of Abuse Alcohol and Alcoholism, the departments of transportation and health and human services, National Consumers League and the National Council of Drug and Alcoholism Dependence, to name a few, strive to end the myth that some alcoholic beverages can get the consumer more drunk than others. The fact is, said Wiggins, that the quantity of alcohol is the same, whether it is found in a glass of white or red wine, a I ttle of beer, or a shot of whiskey or other distilled spirits, straight or in a mixed drink. The size of the container varies, but the alcohol con­ tent remains about six-tenths of an ounce of pure alcohol in each case," he noted. “The potential for getting drunk is the same." “Often we have to sudden­ ly maneuver our own car to avoid a crazy, out-of-control driver for whatever the cause. We, not the other driver, are able to avoid the eminent crash,” he pointed out. “We have full control of our vehicle, but with a few glasses of wine in the pic­ ture, it could end very differently.

It was some pressure, but we got it done." Caledonia's boys and Caledonia's varsity girls' cross country teams would both go on to qualify for the Division 1 State Finals at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn. They were joined at MIS by Thornapple Kellogg’s Casey Lawson and Dustin Brummel, who both went to the state finals in Division 2. Lawson, in her third trip to the Division 2 State Finals, had her second straight All­ State performance finishing 25th in 18:56.1. I made all-state. It's a good day, and Dustin made it too so it's even better," said Lawson. * Brummel was 18th in a new personal record time of 16:10.4 to earn his first state medal. Caledonia's and Thornapple Kellogg’s varsi­ ty boys' soccer teams met up in the match for third-place in the O-K Gold Conference, and the Scots edged the Trojans 3-2 in overtime Caledonia's Derek Rider blasted a shot in a scramble in front of the Trojan net with just over two minutes left in the second ten-minute overtime session Wednesday. Rider’s shot 44 deflected off a Thomapple Kellogg defender and rolled right to a wide-open Jordan Veneman, who was posi­ tioned about 30 yards straight out in front of the TK goal. Veneman kept his head down and his body over the ball, sending a hard shot rolling through the crowd in front of him and past Trojan keeper Nate Eaton in the 97th minute. “I’ve been trying to get those shots all game," said the sophomore Veneman. “Finally, one just rolled out that was perfectly set up for me. I just ripped it, hoping it would go bottom left comer. That was all I was going for was that bottom left comer.” “I was just ecstatic, it was great.” Caledonia secured a share of the league title with the victory in that contest thanks to leading the league during the regular season. South Christian topped Forest Hills Eastern in the tournament championship game to earn the other half of the title. Caledonia's varsity boys' tennis team also shared the league crown, with Grand Rapids Catholic Central. The Fighting Scots- won the league duals, but finished in a tie for second place at the league tournament. “It is a step up, said Caledonia varsity boys' tehnis coach Scott Bont. “We won the tournament last year, but finished second. At least this year we got the championship. It would have been nice to be outright, but...” Max Wagner at third sin­ gles was the lone flight champion for the Scots. He •• —3? - XL-’ 1 topped Catholic Central's Owen Kane 6-1, 6-1 in the championship match. In the the pool, Thorn apple Kellogg/Hastings varsity girls' swimming and diving team won its first ever con­ ference championship, and completed an undefeated regular season by winning the O-K Rainbow Conference Meet in Hastings in November. Teammates Alexis Kelley, Kayla Strumberger, Alexa Schipper, Kaylee DeMink and Kayla Kroells all earned all-conference honors. The 200-yard medley relay team of Strumberger, Schipper, DeMink and Kroells followed that performance up with a trip to the Division 1 State Finals at Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti, where Schipper 2(112 * * > ■* L Fully loaded, rt. slider, power, new tires, 1-owner trade-in, 119,000 mi. | KM: ' W •i I •» 3**’ ’ Caledonia LH • r 2 I • s — 2012 .4, “THANKS FOR A GOOD 2011!” G * 2005 PONTIAC MONTANA 74a * also swam in the 100-yard breaststroke. The Byron Center team which also includes athletes from Caledonia also sent a handful of girls to the Division 1 State Finals. The team of Kaitlin Cassell, Sarah Coffey, Julie Angell and Mikayla Freyling teamed up to place 15th in the 200-yard medley relay to score the only points for there team there. Those four points put Byron Center in 35th place at the finals. The area sent one other girl to the state finals in 2011, Thornapple Kellogg's Alex Banash. She qualified as an individual for the Division 3 Girls’ Golf State Finals at Forest Akers West Golf Course in East Lansing in October. .
