Whether or not the village agrees, the township may still proceed with a DDA. Without village participa­ tion, however, the DDA would likely be restricted in the activities it could sponsor on Main Street. Supervisor Township Bryan Harrison said this fact would only harm the village. “They don't get the wind­ shield traffic in that older part of town,” Harrison said. “There’s obviously a need to support the businesses in that corridor.” The village previously declined a joint DDA effort due to a constricted, ever­ tightening, budget. The vil­ lage would shoulder a larger percentage of the costs because its section has a higher taxable value. But, as the township's sec­ tion grows, the burden would even out, if not shift over to the township, according to Harrison. “We will easily leap-frog them when we turn it moil nwoT ibioab oqooo rv aril rtwoG odiuA dW q Nils odliW .noil bluow Jan ad) no voT nsyifl bluow >rfT‘ bfoirtg 10 tt£(} aiorlT' loqqug abrnoo srlT anilosb 01 sub nsidgil W 3g£| noaiaq eucaod larigid Ju fl •Qnoil o novo oi adi iznisH msdi around,” Harrison said. “They're solely focused on financial survival, but that doesn't mean you don't fix the roof to the house.” Harrison said the village’s response may be a case of ’ ‘ “penny wise, pound foolish. ”1 Over the long term, they stand to benefit,” he said, adding, “A lot of the consulting funds needed to start this up we’re willing to pay.” Treasurer Richard Robertson agreed, saying, “It could only benefit the vil­ lage.” A memorandum from Williams and Works, Inc., dated Oct. 17, 2011, said of an earlier company report, “The report concluded that the benefits of forming a DDA extend beyond the financial impact of the rela­ tively modest tax increment collections that were project­ ed. Other benefits include the formation of an invested constituency for the develop­ ment and expansion of the district and to guide the eco­ nomic growth of the com­ mercial core of the commu­ nity.” The DDA would be sepa­ rate from any governmental body. Harrison said it would provide much-needed focus to downtown development. Additionally, a DDA could provide those who own a business in Caledonia, but A In This Issue...

Heading into 2012, these fundamentals continue to look positive, which may bode well for investors. • Europe's debt crisis Greece’s economic problems made a lot of news in 2011, but they weren't the end of the story in Europe, as major financial difficulties also face Italy, Spain, Portugal and Ireland. It’s by no means clear how these problems will be resolved, so don't be surprised to see them lead to As an investor, you know that 2011 was a somewhat “choppy” year, with the financial markets going through many ups and downs. So what can you expect in 2012? As baseball Hall of Famer Yogi Berra is quoted as say­ ing: “It’s hard to make pre­ dictions - especially about the future.” And these words are certainly applicable for any­ one who would like an accu­ rate forecast of the invest­ ment climate. Yet we do know of some factors that may affect your portfolio in the months ahead. Here are a few of them: • Strong business funda­ mentals - This past year, all the noise about the debt ceil­ ing debate, the size of the 55 ** *7? ■* St ‘J. J Saturday Hours Professional Services!

But you might be surprised to learn that the S&P 500 index has shown negative returns in only three of the last 21 pres­ idential election years. Coincidence? No one can say for sure - and at this point, no one can say if this pattern of positive returns will continue during this election year. Still, it's an interesting phenomenon. So there you have it: the good, the bad and the quirky. Take them all together, and you still may not be able to foresee what will happen with the markets this year, but you’ll have a lot to think about. But instead of trying to predict what will happen in 2012, you may be better off following these tried-andtrue investment strategies: • Diversify your holdings, By spreading your money among a wide range of investments, you can reduce the effects of volatility on your portfolio. Keep in mind, though, that diversification, by itself, can’t guarantee profits or protect against loss. • Don’t ignore your risk tolerance. If you worry excessively about market fluctuations, you may have too much risk in your portfo­ lio, which means you may need to make some changes. • Always look at the “big picture.” Financial markets will always fluctuate. But if you can keep your focus on your long-term objectives, and make decisions accord­ ingly, you can avoid overreacting to short-term events. Like other years, 2012 will bring with it periods of both turbulence and smooth sail­ ing. But by making the right investment moves, you can still chart a course that can allow you to move ever clos­ er to your future goals. 1V1 OUlV C111V1 CAL 1111U ilk/ MOST INSURANCES ACCEPTED This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your Jones local Edward Financial Advisor. 4525 N.

I’v I fl Mii TK/Hastings boys swim well Catholic Central wins first in loss to GR West Catholic meeting of league favorites i i I ~7 [ I I ! The Thornapple Kellogg/Hastings varsity boys’ swimming and diving team opened up action in its revamped conference with a 109-76 to West Catholic at Union High School in Grand Rapids Thursday. The Trojan team won just three events, but had swimmersset 14 different personal records on the evening, Craig Gagnon had his best • • • * times ever in winning the 200-yard freestyle and the 100-yard breaststroke for TK/Hastings. He won the freestyle in 2 minutes 2.01 seconds and the breaststroke in 1:14.01. TK/Hastings’ other winner was Levi Ryfiak, who won the 100-meter butterfly in 1.06.64. TK/Hastings head coach Tyler Bultema said that Gagnon had three other teammates also set personal records in two events, Fredrik Isgard, Chad Singleterry and Carl Franson. One of the most impressive PRs of the day for the Trojans was earned by Ronnie Collins, who cut 43 seconds off his previous best time in the 500-yard — freestyle. The meet was the first for the Trojans since the Dec. 10 Raider Sprints at Grand Rapids Community College, “I wasn't really expecting it. It was kind of a surprise,” Bultema said of all the PR’s in the first meet back after the break. He said he changed things up a bit this holiday season for his team. Rather than cramming in lots of yards swimming over the break the team spent more time than usual working on strokes and technique. There is still a ways to go though. Overall they swam well (Thursday),” Bultema said, “but we still found stuff to work on - technique, turns and exchanges. The Trojans have a week to do that as they prepare for their second O-K Rainbow dual of the season, which will be in Hastings Thursday against Wayland, That will be the first of four consecutive Thursday evening duals for the TK/Hastings boys in their home pool. ll 99 Grand Rapids Catholic Central is the only unbeaten team left in the O-K Gold Conference after a 42-29 victory over the visiting Fighting Scots Friday. The Cougar varsity girls’ basketball team improved to 9-0 overall this season with the victory, and 4-0 in the O-K Gold. Caledonia is now 7-2 overall and one of three 3-1 teams in the conference. Defenses ruled the evening. It was Catholic Central s controlling the game early on as the Cougars ™Oved out to a 3 lead. The Scots battled back to tie the game in the second quarter, before going into the break down 20-17. 'I.' .

Things were a little extra exciting because they had to wait until the end of the dual to implement that plan. Caledonia's varsity wrestling team took its first step towards defending the conference championship it won last winter by knocking off the visiting Saxons at Caledonia High School SO23. Hastings built a 23-13 lead through the night's first ten matches beginning at 135 pounds.

It seemed to be the right one too.” The Scots chose the even matches after winning the toss before the match, mean­ ing Hastings would have to send its wrestler to the table first for the 125-pound bout. “I don't know if Haywood or Case is any better.

Each team had just one pin in the dual, Plattner earned the one for the Scots' by sticking Shane Tossava 4 minutes and 56 seconds into the 119-pound match. That pulled the Scots within a point at 23-22 heading into the 125-pound match. “This one was a flip of a coin,” Goggins said. “You don't have that very often. We win that and maybe it's different. Not for sure, but maybe it’s different. We get the flip of the coin we win one more match there and we win at 112, a match we gave away with seconds to go there. Those are two key matches. I hope we learned something from it.” Joey Montney won the first match of the night for the Scots, topping Joey Siska 8-0 in the 135-pound match. Hastings though won the next four bouts, starting with what might have been the only upset of the night as Jason Slaughter topped Brad Orszula 5-3 at 140 pounds. The Saxons then had Chase Huisman top Garrett Hubbell 8-6 at 145 pounds, Kenny Cross score a 23-8 technical fall against Jon Hubbell at 152 pounds, and Stephen Kendall knocked off Austin Simmons 8-4 at 160. Caledonia followed up that run with three straight wins of its own. Travis Pitsch scored an 11-6 win over Cody Newton at 171 pounds, Kyle Schutt topped Joe Krebbs 4-0 at 189, and Joel Wenk beat Nate Pewoski at 215 pounds 7-2. Hastings also had Mike Pewoski Jake top VanderVeen 6-2 in the 285pound match, and Aaron Williams score his team’s only pin in the 103-pound match. He stuck Noah Williams in 2:26.

' Durant and Glenn, among a field of four candidates vying to challenge Sen. Debbie Stabenow in the Nov. 12 general election, spent 90 minutes expressing similar and disparate views support­ ing their individual cases for the choice ot being of Republicans when the party votes in the Republican pri­ mary Aug. 7. Glenn spoke first, stress­ ing his commitment to fami­ ly values with a recitation of his accomplishments as pres­ ident for 12 years of the American Family Association, his success in getting right-to-work legisla­ tion passed in Idaho, his leadership role in remodeling health care benefits for coun­ ty employees in Midland, his role in drafting and his lead­ ership in the fight for the 2004 protection of marriage nA no? to bo t>ibn£o ilifiD fl ?ni I tfiuoD ibaouT ni nnl inG )ioil £ gnivv jiddoG nog SI Hunfrn :ib bfi£ 9dt gni gnisd duqoH i 2OJOV \ VT£fn ioib arrl gni ub>v yI girl Jnsbi insfoA iooazA gniJlog q noil ziobuol »filkorl qoio v) ni oloi qifiaio q MXK V i - New strategic planning approach helps TK stay on course Clark Durant Gary Glenn amendment to the Michigan Constitution, which defines marriage as between one man and one woman and which was overwhelmingly passed in the 2004 presidenlial election. Glenn also sharply criti­ cized the current state of affairs in Washington, concentrating his criticism primarily on Peter Hoekstra, the leading candidate for the nomination. Republican Glenn views a vote for Hoekstra as being essentially the same as a vote for incum­ bent Democrat Debbie Stabenow. He used the example of five votes to draw the difference between himself and Hoekstra: Glenn would have voted yes on the national right to work law and No on forcing local gov­ ernments to unionize employees, the Wall Street bailout, raising the debt ceil­ ing, the Bridge to Nowhere, and the Brady gun control bill. His race “is against the Republican establishment,” Glenn said, comparing it to the Biblical story of Davidand Goliath. Glenn stated that he is running because “the lord put a love of liberty in my heart.” He also referred to his father who was a Marine stationed in Honolulu in 1941 and is a Pearl Harbor survivor. In one of his few references to by Casey Cheney Staff Writer The Thornapple Kellogg school district has undertak­ en strategic planning before. Assistant Superintendent Tom Enslen said the new method the board is adopt­ ‘ ing, however, sets itself apart. Unlike other ways of strategic planning, what this district is doing will help it stay on course. This is due to the third of three compo­ nents: the individual accountability component. “This is going to keep this plan a living and breathing document,” Enslen said. “A lot of plans die on the vine because they don't have this component.” Angie Jefferson, who pre­ sented the update on the strategic planning, said the program requires staff to determine one-year goals, key initiatives and more, and members can check See DEBATE, pg. 8 staff their progress throughout the year against those goals and initiatives. The record of goals holds them account­ able to working toward, and hopefully achieving, those goals. “Instead of having a school initiative or mapping ...

Valerie Byrnes, president of the Barry County Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development Alliance, said high-speed Internet is crucial for eco­ nomic development. “The Alliance is eager to continue our work with local stakeholders to evaluate our needs and look to expand our broadband infrastructure countywide,” she said. In September 2010, Irving Township, under the direc­ tion of Treasurer Lynette Wingeier, reached out to other townships with a sur­ vey on needs to expand serv­ ice. More than 1,175 surveys were returned fr-om residents in Irving, Carlton, Maple organizations were asked what information they need in order to possibly expand Barry services within County. Several committees of the Barry County Broadband Expansion Team are beginning to assess local needs and service gaps, in order to work more closely with service providers to enhance broadband access and implementation.

It’s a difficult thing right now. 1 m just very pleased our distnct is as stable financially Ias *ST We re In a verY good position with our staff and our direction. Every superintendent is going to ^ave challenges. But, who ever does become the [Thomapple Kellogg] super intendent is going _ _ to be going into a very good situation.” This brought up another reason for the timing of his retirement. The district has a shared vision that has been mapped out with the strateplanning process. “We’ve got that in placenow,” he said. “We’ve got the vision and direction for the district in place. That’s not going to change with new leadership. And we have a method for keeping track of [the process and vision].” Rider revealed what his plans would be after he retires: family time and con­ sulting. In his letter, he said, “As for my retirement, I hope it will allow me to have more time with Sandy, our chil­ dren and grandchildren, and possibly an occasional round of golf. I also look forward to continuing to stay active and engaged in the field of education, working with school districts as a consultant.” Rider has served in public education for 36 years, He left his readers with these remarks: “I have absolute faith in you, the TK Board; as well as the staff and community to continue to move forward, building on the quality work you’ve done over the past several years. You have all been a vital part of establishing TK’s out­ standing reputation, and I am confident that will continue to be the case for many, many years to come. I am a better professional and per­ son because of our time together and what I have learned from you over the past five years.” Rider says he s leaving the district in good hands by Patricia Johns At the Thomapple Kellogg Board of Education meeting ’ , Jan. 9, Monday, Superintendent Gary Rider announced his retirement, effective at the end of June, when he will be 58 years old. Rider became superintend­ ent for the Thornapple Kellogg Schools in March of 2007. He replaced Kevin Konarska who was named superintendent of the Kent Intermediate School District. Before coming to the Thomapple Kellogg school district, Rider had been at superintendent Brandywine Community Schools in Niles, Rider earned a bachelor of science degree in mathemat­ ics education from Michigan State University in 1976 and a master of arts degree in secondary administration from Central Michigan University in 1986. Before becoming a super­ intendent, he had been a teacher, coach, assistant principal, athletic director and principal at schools in Michigan and Texas. Rider met individually with members of the TK Board of Education in December, letting them know he would be making this announcement at the January meeting. In the letter which he pre­ sented to the board members Jan. 9, Rider told the board that he hoped his retirement would allow him more time with his wife, Sandy, and their children and grandchil­ dren. “This announcement is bittersweet,” Rider said in an interview. “I have spent 36 years in education, and we absolutely love this school district and community. “This is a good time for my family and a good time for the district to make the transition to a new superin­ tendent,” Rider added. He said he is not a candi­ date for superintendent for any other school district, but that he plans to do some edu­ cation consulting work parttime. One reason he spoke with school board members in December and made the announcement at the Jan. 9 meeting was to give the board ample time to search for and appoint a new super­ intendent. The hiring of a new super­ intendent and policy-making are the major duties of the school board, he said. “This really is a decision that they make, independent from the superintendent. Rider said education will face many challenges in the next five to 10 years, but he has confidence in the district he’s leaving behind. “I have absolute faith in you, the TK Board, as well as the staff and community to continue to move forward, building on the quality work you've done,” he wrote in his letter to the board. .•It Jan. 10, he posted a letter to the community on the superintendent’s blog with the announcement of his res­ ignation.

The need for the training arose after the council decided to take advantage of a change in state laws prompted in part by the difficulty of find­ ing citizens in small commu­ nities willing to serve on such boards. Mark Sisson, village plan­ ning consultant, began by noting the basic function of ZBA is to determine that a zoning ordinance is being properly applied by a plan­ ning commission or a gov­ erning body and if relief from the provisions of the zoning laws — a variance — should be granted. Variances fall into two classes, use and dimensions. A use variance allows a use of a property that is not allowed within the zoning district and requires a show­ ing of undue hardship to the property owner if it is not granted. A dimensional variance 4W & I H is i I' lb ft* Im 1; fl I I *** • mWyille ers the cost of processing the application. At this point there is no formal applica­ tion. The variance process has specific guidelines involving legal notices, hearings, noti­ fication of neighbors and more. Moving into reports. Trustee Dan Erskine report­ ed that the Dec. 12 meeting of the Caledonia Joint Sewer Committee had focused on the requirement for lower levels of sodium and chlo­ ride in treated water from both the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality. The problem appears to be caused by the number of water softeners using salt to soften the area’s hard water and the amount of road salt used in winter. The problem may also be exacerbated by the brine used in oil and gas wells drilled in the area in the 1950s and 1960s. At this point, the committee is wait­ ing for a response from the state on a sodium-reduction plan filed earlier. Village engineer Paul Galdes reported that new bids for the sidewalk repairs had been received from Great Lakes Utility and Concrete. Construction Inc. and A-l Asphalt Inc. The Local students named to Davenport dean’s list & 7 - allows requirements such as setbacks to be altered because of a specific situa­ tion. Property owners who go through the process and are unhappy with a ZBA decision may then apply to the circuit court of the coun­ ty for relief. TheFe are numerous tech­ nical issues in zoning and significant procedural requirements. For the village council, the training came at an appropriate time since a resident present at the meet­ ing used the initial public comment period to read a let­ ter requesting an exemption to permit the raising of chickens in a residential dis­ trict. Jill Thompson, a resident of Casey Court, would like to raise chickens primarily for eggs. She said the chick­ ens would also be of value to husband. her Ben Thompson, who teaches in FFA program at Duncan Lake Middle School, and in teaching their four children responsibility and how to care for animals. In her let­ ter, she also noted that sever­ al communities are rethink­ ing ordinances banning the keeping of certain animals for food. The Thompsons are protesting the $250 to file the application and the $1,200 escrow deposit, which cov- .^j •IL '■* Students make Hope College dean’s list if tgit noted that there was enough expertise among council members that it was possible to save some money by tack­ ling some chores, such as overseeing the sidewalk repairs. Trustee Karen Hahn said the Independence Day Celebration Committee was beginning its meetings and would welcome anyone interested in participating. J* “We need lots of help, she said. Trustee Tim Overholt questioned the fees associat­ ed with the Thompson request for a variance. Ayers clarified that $250 was the application fee and the escrow deposit was $1,250. He said the fees are exces­ sive. The next meeting of the council will be Monday, Feb. 13, at 7 p.m. at the village hall. 250 Maple St. Village Manager and Clerk Sandy Ayers suggest­ ed that work could begin soon on collecting the data on remaining sidewalks needing repairs so that per­ haps both repair projects could be completed in the summer of 2012. The council also approved a resolution listing the sched­ uled meetings of the council as occurring on the second Monday of the month at 7 p.m. in the village hall. 250 Maple St.; a second resolu­ tion also approved by the council sets the meetings of the planning commission on the fourth Thursday of the month unless otherwise noted. Meetings of the coun­ cil acting as the zoning board of appeals will be posted as necessary; such meetings will not occur as part of a regular council meeting. During the final council comment period, Erskine Caledonia High School to host ‘Bullycide Project’ “The Bullycide Project," a movement based on the book Bullycide in America, is com■r ing to Caledonia High School Monday, Jan. 23, at 7:30 p.m. “It's an incredible message and something everyone should hear," secretary and support staff member Mary Durkee said. The purpose of the project is self-evident — the death of bullying. The book it's based on, compiled by Brenda High, brings to light the reality of bullying. In this book, mothers have written accounts of their children who were bullied to the point of taking their own lives. Cast members of The Bullycide Project traveled throughout Minnesota and Michigan to interview teach­ ers, family members and friends of those portrayed in the book. In some cases, the cast members were given per­ sonal items of that student — photos, poetry and other items to help define the individual. A press release stated that many of those items are used on stage.

The A-l Asphalt bid at $10,625 included the cost of providing and installing root barriers, as needed, while the Great Lakes bid at $9,100 did not but provided for the installation of root barriers at a cost of $28 per lineal foot. The discussion focused on how to supervise the contrac­ tor so that needed barriers were installed and unneeded ones were not. Erskine moved to award the contract to Great Lakes and noted that he and Trustee Todd Grinage could be available to oversee the work. Council President Glenn Gilbert suggested that Roger Loring with the Caledonia Department of Public Works, could oversee the contractor. The motion passed 6-0. The release said, “All of us involved with this project have grown and become better lis­ teners, communicators and people. This project has forced us to look beyond our own tri­ als and tribulations and to fun­ nel our focus to a cause much larger than ourselves." The free performance will take place in the high school's fine arts center. The 7:30 p.m. program is the last of four at the school that day — and the only one open to parents, interested students, and the public. « I I •j “Cdi/tQ" about (JumiCi. t 6771685 Public Welcome to the 3rd Annual •j ■ I - I I I I 1 j .Hr Caledonia Auxiliary Wine Tasting Event Caledonia American Legion Post #305 • 9548 Cheny Valley Friday - January 27th, 5-9 Open Bar!

On a national right to work Jaw, Glenn said that the right to a job without being required to join a union is as much a civil right as the right not to be discriminated against because of color, race, or religion. According to Glenn, states that have right to work laws have seen much greater job growth compared to states that have not passed such Jaws. “When was a new auto plant built in Michigan?” Glenn asked. Glenn also staked posi­ tions on the recent federal health care law (he’d repeal), on taxes (he’d eliminate the current system and replace it with a sales tax and flat tax), on energy reserves (he favors fracking and the abol­ ishment of the Environmental Protection Agency), on social issues (protection of the marriage amendment), and on greater state and local control —in addition to the IRS and EPA, Glenn would also eliminate the Federal Reserve Bank, the National Labor Relations Board, the Department of Energy, and the Department of Education. his Glenn concluded remarks by saying that cannot beat Hoekstra Stabenow without the active support of Tea Party activists. The current elec­ tion offers “one last shot at returning to the principles of the Constitution.” V. ’ 203 E.

He is a cofounder of Cornerstone Schools in •It Detroit, a system that oper­ ates both schools and charter academies. His business experience is derived from a post as the federal bankrupt­ cy trustee for the stateowned and funded Ann Arbor railroad .•?!• which he took from being $100 million in - of liq­ debt and on the verge uidation to solvency and pri­ vate ownership, a process which generated jobs and tax revenue. e Durant held a second fed­ •It. eral post as chairman of the board of the Legal Services Agency, a public agency devoted to providing legal assistance to poor people. The post was most notable for him because as he said, “I realized the greatest obstacle to justice is the legal profes­ sion," a statement that put « him significantly at odds with his own profession. Durant’s career in educa­ tion has included a stop at Hillsdale College as vice president, where he founded a publication called Imprimus. After becoming a member of the Michigan bar, he practiced law with his father in Detroit. He has been a candidate for the Michigan Supreme Court and the state board of educa­ •It tion and has served as presi­ dent of the state board of education. He has supported the establishment of charter schools. His relationship with Cornerstone Schools spans more than 20 years. First as a cofounder and later as chief executive officer. Durant pointed out that he has direct roots to the Tea Party, being a “direct descendant of two who • [<• to Lexington in responded 1775” Durant related that “The U.S. is the only country founded on an idea: All men are created equal; and are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights. A gift from a living G J” He followed that state­ ment with the question, “Are we using them?" Durant related that ques­ tion to the very soberin ■si experience of having his son look at him and tell him that •!• it was Durant’s generation that made the mess; the mes­ sage was to fix it. In one of his few direct disagreements with Glenn, Durant established a distinc­ tive position. •It “If Stabenow was the issue, I would not have run,” he stated. “The country is in the middle of a generational 1 debate. The way it goes will affect us for the next 50 or 60 years." Durant went on to explain that there have been other such elections in our history, and cited 1800, 1860, 1932, and 1980. The peaceful tran­ sition of power to an oppos­ ing party occurs in 1800; in 1861, the Republican party is founded because the Whi !l party cannot find an answer to the question of half-slave, half-free; in 1932 Roosevelt espouses HE a series of deci­ sions which have ramifica­ tions for today; and 1980 is the beginning of the Reagan era. which Durant said was a period of greatness. Now it is 2012, Durant stated, a year which has the opportunity to be the second shot heard round the world. [The first shot at Lexington and Concord is often described as “the shot heard round the world.] A brief question anJ answer period followed the presentations. candidate Responding to a question •!• about the National Defense Authorization Act recently signed by the president, both Durant and Glenn agreed that a provision authorizing the detention of American citizens without cause was Glenn unconstitutional. would repeal the act because it has a very vague hate crimes provision. Responding to a question about judicial appointments. •It Durant said he would not accept any judicial candidate who did not have a paper trail. There would be no secretive judicial appoint­ ments on his watch. Perhaps the most relevant question of the evening judg­ ing from the audience reac­ tion to it was, “What guaran­ tees do I have that you won’t the part become of Washington culture?" -4 Glenn responded. “Only one of ten remembers they are representing the people. You need a senator who will fight Mitch McConnell (RKentucky, Senate Minority Leader) as vigorously as Harry Reid (D-Nevada, Senate Majority Leader). His remark was greeted with lots of applause. Responding to the same question, Durant said. “Look at the last 40 years of my life. Have stood up to all of this." He noted that he had also organized kids to stand up for deafness. A related question was would the loser in the primary support tlie winner in the general election. Each man unequivocally answered he would. Both men received standing ovation. Barry County Tea Party Chairman Gary Munson thanked the audience for coming and adjourned the meeting.

Remember that regardless of your Social Security deci­ sion, you typically would have to pay a 10% early withdrawal penalty if you started taking withdrawals from these accounts before you reach age 591/2. • S: Your spouse/marital status — If you’re single, you basically just need to think of yourself when mak­ ing this decision. But it’s a different story if you're mar­ ried. If you die first, your spouse can keep receiving his or her own Social Security benefit or receive yours — whichever is larger. - Consequently, you and your spouse will want to coordi­ nate when you take Social Security benefits so that you can maximize the benefit for the spouse likeliest to live r•It. longer. The choice of w hen to start taking Social Security can affect your lifestyle through­ out your retirement years — so weigh all the factors and make the choice that's right for you. This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor. confident that, once you reach 66, you've still got another two or more decades in front of you, you may want to consider delaying taking Social Security past age 62. • E: Your employment sta­ tus — If you're under full retirement age — between 62 and 66 — then for every two dollars you earn over SI4,640 (in 2012), you'll lose one dollar in Social Security benefits. In the months before you reach your full retirement age. for every three dollars you earn over $38,880 (again, for 2012), you'll lose one dollar in benefits. But starting in the month you reach your full retirement age, you can earn as much as you want without losing any benefits. • N: Your need, including your other sources of retire­ ment income — If you have a pension, or you've built sub­ stantial resources in your IRA, your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retire­ ment plan, and you can sup­ port your income needs with modest withdrawals from these accounts, you might decide it's worthwhile to delay taking Social Security If you're of a certain age, the new year means you're that much closer to a day you may have anticipated with a combination of humor and resignation — specifically, the day you're eligible for Social Security. But just because you can take Social Security, it doesn't mean you must take it. So, should you? Before we get to that ques­ tion, let's review the basic governing Social Social rules governing Security payments. You can typically start collecting ben­ efits at age 62, but you’ll get only about 75% of what you’d receive if you waited until your “full” retirement age, which varies accordin to your birth year but is most likely 66. You’ll get even bigger monthly checks if you delay collecting them until yOu’re past 66’, and you’ll “max out” on your payments once you reach«70. So, the question boils down to this: Should you start Social collecting Security early — thereby receiving smaller, but more numerous, checks — or later, when your checks will be bigger but fewer? If you really need the money once you reach 62, you’ve already got your answer. But if you could potentially afford to wait, we recommend you view your decision through a LENS: • L: Your projected lifespan — You can't see into the future, but given your family history and general health, you can make an educated guess about your projected longevity.

Feedback gath­ ered from focus groups and surveys conducted over the next several months will aid the DNR's efforts to make these publications more use­ ful to customers. “We want our customers to clearly understand the information and regulations before they head out into Michigan's woods and waters." said DNR Director Rodney Stokes. “This project is about presenting the regu­ lations so hunters and anglers can enjoy harvesting game and fish with less confusion and with confidence that they're following the law." The DNR will conduct focus groups with avid and novice hunters and anglers in late February and March. “We'll be talking in-depth with our customers about what they find helpful and problematic with the current LUNCH N' LEARN Glaucoma and Dry Eye Syndrome January 24 • 11:30 a.m. -1:00 p.m. Pennock Conference Center Kimberly J.

Stokes explained that input from the survey - w hich w ill be sent to thousands of people who have purchased a hunting or fishing license in the past and members of conservation organizations - will help about inform decisions revamping the guides. The improved digests and guides will be distributed in 2013. Anyone who has ever hunted, trapped or fished in Michigan is invited to com­ plete a brief survey now through Feb. 3.

The Fighting Scots trailed the Trojans by 11 points at the half. 31-20, and rallied finally pulling even with and then past the Trojans early in the fourth quarter. Caledonia put full-court pressure on the Trojans all evening long, but switched from a zone press to a man-toman look in the second half. They also stopped reaching and bumping in the process. The first half they pressed us and we were able to get the ball up the floor and get some easy looks, said TK head coach Mike Rynearson.‘They didn t change much, but they adjusted it so they played a littie bit more man pressure. The same look, and they were looking to trap if it was available, Mainly the just pressured the ball, hounded it and zig-zagged it up the floor and we couldn t handle the pressure." On the offensive end of the floor, the Scots stopped passing the ball around the perimeter of the Trojans' 2-3 zone and settling for threes. They got the ball inside and eventually forced the Trojans to a man-toman look where the Scots could be more effective at getting to the basket with their quickness. We made a little bit of an adjustment defensively and ( 7 9 r » % > 1 Thornapple Kellogg guard Greg Hamilton (12) is pressured in the offensive end by Caledonia’s Myles Miller and Stephen Spencer during the second half Friday night. 4 33 A a JR ixl Jn (Photo by Brett Bremer) tried to stick to our man instead of our zone principles, which proved effective, but at the same time the offensive adjustment was we needed to be on the attack more. Our goal was to shoot more than 20 free throws and take fewer than 12 threes and we did both of those things tonight." ’ The Scots didn't look to be on pace to reach those goals in the first half. They were 2-of-9 from behind the three-point line in the first half, and attempted just three free throws.

I was really happy that we came out and we took a lead ** early and we didn’t look back, said Caledonia head coach Joe Harvey. “This group has had a tendency to sometimes overlook people and to struggle for the first quarter or whatever, We were up 11-0. I felt like we started strong, and we continued with it. We didn't look back.” Caledonia improved to 8-2 overall with the win and 4-1 in the O-K Gold Conference, a said.’ “We still have sights on winning the conference.

M-43 Highway, Hastings, Ml 49058 Staff Writer The five members of the Caledonia Township Board of Trustees listened intently at their regular meeting as Wednesday evening Thomas Ecklund and Dean Mericas, representing Gerald R. Ford International Airport, delivered a 40minute presentation explain­ ing why a plan to discharge deicing runoff into the Thomapple River will not harm the river. Ecklund is director of facilities at the airport, and Dean Mericas is •!• an environmental engineer­ ing consultant retained by the airport. •It Also keeping an eye on the proceedings was Erv Gambee, president of the Thornapple River Watershed Council. Supervisor Township •If Bryan Harrison introduced the topic, explaining that the deicing discharge is a con­ cern for the Caledonia com­ munity where the river is much loved and prized for its recreational opportunities. Harrison had extended the “I am disappointed. Answers were not as had been expected.” Erv Gambee, representing the Thornapple River Watershed invitation to airport officials •II to present an update on what it was doing to manage the deicing runoff. Most of the concern appears to be gener­ ated by a persistent film on an unnamed tributary, known locally as Trout Creek, that discharges into the river The presentation, formally titled Gerald R. Ford International Airport Long­ term Stormwater/Deicing Management Runoff with began Program, Mericas listing seven key facts that he asked listeners to keep in mind: deicing of aircraft and pavement is required by the Federal Aviation Administration; deicing compounds have environmental implications; managing deicing runoff is a challenging responsibility for the airport; complying completely with all deicing requirements in its storm water permit is achieved by the facility; reducing the amount of deicer in storm water has been occurring steadily; testing of the water indicates no impact on the Thomapple River, and, finally, the concept of discharg­ ing runoff into the river meets all the requirements for environmental protec­ tion. Mericas stated that the deicing products and proce­ dures used are specified by the FAA, not by the airports or the airlines. The substance currently in use at the airport — and in use since the 1980s — is propylene glycol (PPG), a sugar compound that is also a widely used food additive approved by the federal Food and Drug Administration. It is also highly soluble in water and dilutes easily. He did note that manufacturers do use additives but only the federal government knows what they are since the companies regard this information as proprietary. To further demonstrate the innocuous nature of PPG, tables showing levels of dis­ solved oxygen in runoff and its low level of ecotoxicity were presented. On the issue of the biofilm, Mericas said that other contributing con­ ditions must also be consid­ ered, such as a rocky stream bottom, a decline in the rate of flow of water, microor­ ganisms that feed on PPG, and sunlight and water tem- perature. Approximately 30 percent of the PPG used at the airport is captured and sold to recy­ clers who tum it into prima­ rily plastic products. Mericas and Ecklund stat­ ed that the airport arrived at See RUNOFF, page 2 Hunt for new superintendent begins for TK school district Community forum set for Thursday by Casey Cheney Staff Writer The Thomapple Kellogg Board of Education is work­ ing with North Star Staffing Inc. to fill an upcoming vacancy.

Darrin Oliver, adult cochair of the Middleville Sk8Park project, is working closely with youth project leader Chris Walton. The operation is taking place in Calvin Hill Park behind the United Middleville Methodist Church. The project team submit­ ted a grant application to the Youth Advisory Council of the Barry Community Foundation, relaying that the intent is to create a safe skate zone that is fun, creative and challenging for all skill lev­ els of skaters. “It will be a place for skaters to gather, enjoy their sport and keep them oft busy and dangerous streets," said Jennifer Richards of the Community Barry Foundation. The park will include equipment for all levels ot skaters, as well as seating and gathering areas. Oliver explained that start­ ing a skate park in Middleville began in 2008 with a cement slab and a wooden mini-ramp installed by volunteers from local organizations. Organizers realized that despite their growing popu­ larity, the non-traditional sports of skateboarding, rollerblading, and freestyle BMX are often overlooked, leaving many children with­ out the facilities to partici­ •It pate in the sports that they love. Since its start in 2008, the skate park has gained the support of the community. Oliver said that in 2010, “The project was picked up again by a group of active young people and adult vol­ unteer leaders. The project is now called The Middleville Sk8Park Project.” “The Middleville Sk8park committee is extremely thankful to the Barry County Youth Advisory Council and the Barry Community Foundation for their recogni­ tion of the importance of this project for the youth and community of Middleville,” Oliver said. “This grant is evidence of the Barry County community coming together to support a project Iri that will impact youth in our community for years to come.” Oliver described Calvin Hill Park, the destination of this new venue, as “a great park for children of all ages, neighbors, and the communi­ ty to gather and enjoy.” He predicted that the addi­ tion of the skate zone will draw people from outside of Middleville, as well. The committee working on the project includes 15 young people between the ages of 6 and 18, as well as eight adults. They meet monthly to discuss the project, work on fund raising and consider designs. Working with Walton and Oliver is Phil VanNoord, Thomapple Area Parks and Commission Recreation president and Middleville Village Council member. By nearing the fundraising goal, Middleville youths of the community will soon have a safe, challenging, and fun place to enjoy their sports. The committee is also seeking donations and grants to the project from local businesses and organizations. Organizers are planning a skate park tour day, a graffiti contest with the art projects created being auc­ tioned off to benefit the skate park, Anyone interested in making financial contributions contact the Barry may .

The group met five times from February through July 2011. Several factors were con­ sidered in identifying poten­ tial concepts to address the concern. Four evaluation cri­ teria were used: eliminating the airport's contribution to the nuisance, environmental permitting, long-term relia­ bility, and implementation challenges. Four potential concepts were also identified. All included continued collec­ tion and recycling of PPG and all included relocating the storm water conveyance to the Thornapple River because “it is the only way to eliminate the airport’s contri­ bution to nuisance biofilm in the unnamed tributary,” according to the proposed plan. Further discussion refine­ ments led to the recommen­ dation that the discharge be relocated to the Thomapple 11 River for the following advantages: • It guarantees elimination of the runoff from the airport contributing to the nuisance biofilm. • It meets all environmen­ tal standards. • It provides a low level of complexity and the highest level of reliability. • It integrates into present operations. • It adapts to future changes in deicing practices and environmental regula­ tions. • It provides the most cost effective solution. The report concluded with a listing of several miscon­ ceptions and factual rebuttals of them. Although the mis­ conceptions do not appear to be listed in any order of importance, chief among them is that the airport is planning to build a pipeline to the river. There may be some enclosure under road­ ways and railroad tracks, but pipe was mentioned only to provide a conservative estimate of cost. The path to the river will be determined during the design phase. Other misconceptions concern effects on water tables and wells near the river. According to the report, there will be no effect on water tables and wells. Following the presenta­ tion of the report, Harrison, who had asked board mem­ bers to refrain from ques­ tions during the presentation, began the board discussion period by asking if there were any conditions in the Thomapple River that could lead to problems. Mericas responded that there were not and that PPG had been entering the river for years, He noted that the DEQ is looking into the possibility that Trout Creek could dry up. The diversion would be a permanent event, not a sea­ sonal event. Trustee Greg Zoller, citing the Dow Chemical Company and the Tittabawassee River, asked, “Can't you build a treatment plant at the air­ port?” Mericas observed that the airport has to meet the requirements specified by the federal government. The discharge system must be in operation by October 2015. He added that the Cincinnati airport had built a treatment plant at a cost of $100 million and continued to have problems, Mericas also, noted that many people reading the report had assumed it was a com-­ design. It is not. He com mented that the MDEQ staff had signed off On the report. Ecklund added that the con­ Believe it or not....

He also observed that the design and engineering phase is not open to discus­ sion. “I am disappointed,” said Gambee, “answers were not as had been expected.” Katy Zoller, a Caledonia resident, asked, “What are the additives?” Mericas told her that was proprietary information and was not available. Greg Zoller reentered the discussion, referring to the $100 million figure for a treatment plant. Zoller said he thought it was more likely to be $30 million. Ecklund responded that the recom­ mended concept was at $15 million, a reasonable cost for the operation. Mericas said that PPG had no legacy costs. He cited research done by United States Geological Survey and universities add that these are not heavy metals.” “I used the examples I used because at the time, they were acceptable,” said Zoller of his reference to the Tittabawassee River citing that it was one of the worst polluted rivers in the United States. “What happens when you put all those hungry feeders into the river?" asked Harrison, to which Ecklund replied that PPG is a food source for biofilm organ­ isms; the ecosystem has to be right for it to occur, Harrison took issue with the analogy, saying, “Even though it is a food additive, so is salt and cooking oil. The food analogy is apples and oranges. Foods can be harmful.” Trustee Don Koopmans asked about the recycling. Ecklund noted that, on average, about one-third of the PPG applied is lost. Some stays on the plane and some evaporates. Koopmans asked, “Is it an ---- .O .V option to send to Grand Rapids [for waste treat­ ment]?" Koopmans asked. “Is it expensive? Can you separate it out?” He was informed that most of it would not be accepted by Grand Rapids. Harrison returned to the issue of impact on the river and was told by Ecklund and Mericas that they did not see any impact on the river. Harrison continued, inquir­ ing, “What is the commit­ ment of the airport?" Ecklund responded that the airport would comply with all requirements and that he could not read the future. Noting that the river has dams, Harrison asked about the role of the dams. Ecklund said, “The DEQ modeling effort takes that into account.” Trustee Rick Snoeyink raised the issue of material recycling. “I'm trying to understand what would happen if you had a pond and used it, and sold the algae for use in fuels,” Snoeyink commented to which Ecklund replied that the FAA would not allow a pond for safety rea­ sons. The discussion ended with Ecklund supplying his office number and urging board members to call him. Returning to the remain­ der of the agenda, Harrison took up a quotation from Viridis Design Group. The township had received three proposals in response to its request for a design consult­ ant for the Den Hartigh park­ land donation. Harrison observed that Viridis was the only firm to make a site visit and to meet with the commit­ tee. Harrison also pointed out that Viridis Design Group had also designed Millenium Park. He added that, besides being the low bidder, Viridis was very impressive. The group will provide various planning services for the park at a cost of $8,000. Harrison asked for a motion to approve a $10,000 allotment, stating that it would allow the committee to have the firm apply for a Department of Natural Resources grant for the park. The motion was approved unanimously, In other business, the board approved the reappointment of Duane Gunnink to the Caledonia Township Planning Commission for another three-year term and approved a resolution estab­ lishing the poverty exemp­ tion guidelines for 2012. The exemption allows the deferment of property taxes on residences. The next regularly sched­ uled meeting of the board will be on Wednesday, Feb. 1 at 7 p.m. in the township offices at 8196 Broadmoor Ave. •• I !

As a citizen, you may or may not enjoy this “political theater,” but as an investor, you might be con­ cerned over all the talk about taxes, Social Security, Medicare and other financial topics. Will you need to adjust your savings and investment strategies? If so, how? Before you think about adjusting your investment strategy in anticipation of any actions coming from Washington, keep a couple of facts in mind. First, few campaign promises become reality. And second, due to our system of government, radical shifts in direction are difficult to implement — which is why so few of them iff S' 1 sn v 1 I BUy ONE GET ONE (2m' equal or lesser value) Birthday is if Your mil"♦ this nwntt1"* ri lx 40%OFF - — ♦ occur. Still, we may see some yet not smaller-scale insignificant — changes in the near future. In light of this possibility, what invest­ ment decisions should you make? Here are a few sug­ gestions: • Consider owning invest­ ments that are taxed in dif­ ferent ways. No one can pre­ dict what will happen with income tax rates or the tax rates that are applied to capi­ tal gains and dividends. Consequently, it may be a good idea to seek “tax diver­ sification" by owning invest­ ments that are taxed in dif­ ferent ways. For example, when you sell appreciated stocks, you pay capital gains taxes, whereas interest pay­ ments from bonds will be taxed at your individual tax rate. And it’s always a good discounts do not apply to consigned items At- ♦ MEDIA SALE All used books, movies & c-ds 1/2 OFF FABULOUS FINDS Middleville We invite you to come find ♦ your neiv " treasure today1 121 E.

It s a good idea, when owning stocks, to invest in quality companies with diversified businesses. These companies are usually less dependent on a particular government program, and they typically have a global reach, so they may be better able to handle any changes implemented in Washington. • Stay focused on your long-term goals. Politicians come and go, and our political parties seem to take turns holding the reins of power. Yet your long-term goals — such as college for your chil­ dren, a comfortable retire­ ment and the ability to leave a legacy to your family — don't really change. By real­ izing that you are largely responsible for achieving your goals, and by following an investment strategy that's suitable for your individual risk tolerance and time hori­ zon, you can make gradual, but still meaningful, progress toward those goals — no matter what’s happening in Washington. • Review your strategy regularly. With the possible approach of changes in tax policies and in government programs that can affect your retirement security, you'll want to review your investment strategy regularly to make sure it's still on track toward helping you meet your objectives. As part of this review, you may want to seek out more “tax-smart” investment opportunities, while always looking for ways to supply the asset growth you'll need to enjoy lifestyle the retirement you’ve envisioned. Aside from voting for the candidates who best repre­ sent your interests, you may not have much influence over what goes on in Washington. But by “elect­ ing” the right moves to help meet your goals, you can have plenty of control over your investment strategy.

We're asking you to be visionar•ICS. •• Other commissioners had concerns about the exten­ siveness of public opinion solicited by the agriculture preservation board prior Io drawing up the proposed amendments. Commissioner Robert Houtman delivered pointed remarks to Wing regarding an April 26. 2010, letter he had addressed to Wing. Houtman reminded Wing that the 2010 letter carried a specific suggestion that the board request each of 16 township supervisors in the count) to review a suggested draft before submitting it to the Barry County Planning Commission for further review and suggestions. “How many of the 16 townships did you talk to*r" challenged Houtman Wing responded and and Planning Zoning Director Jim McManus con­ XI.I firmed that letters and a copy of the amended document went to all townships and that only one responded Assyria Township Supervisor Mike Timmons attended Tuesday 's meeting. Houtman contended that officials in Prairieville and Barry townships told him that they had never seen the amended document. Stolsonburg reported similar reports from officials in and Yankee Springs Thomapplc townships. “So. you have four town­ ships that never heard of this document and you've got one that has provided feed­ said Houtman. back? You’ve heard nothing from 15 of 16 tow nships on some­ thing that could have huge ramifications on them. I find that very odd.” Timmons broke the semiimpasse by suggesting that the agriculture preservation board bring it before the upcoming quarterly meeting of all township supervisors. “Bob's letter helps solidi­ fy the discussion.” comment­ ed Commissioner Dan Parker. “When you get the public to comment, you end up with a better document.” The commission agreed to table discussion until more j public input could be gath­ 9r presentation ered. Even after to the 16 townships, the pro­ posed amended agreement would still require a public hearing, a scenario that pre­ sented ground for consensus Commissioners also delib­ erated the future in a second issue presented as a request by Message Express Internet, or MEI. to locate a wireless antenna on the existing radio tower at the sheriff s department The counts currently con * tracts for six megabyies of high-speed bandwidth to cover Internet and data needs from TelNet Services. The MEI offer would provide an additional six megabytes at no I to the county, in exchange for use of the antenna for a 10-year con­ tract period. David Shinavier. informa­ tion services manager for the county, listed two primary advantages in (he MEI offer. ‘What we get is six megabytes of broadband Internet service for the sher­ iff, which doubles our capac­ Cl ity,” pointed out Shinavier. “But it also provides us a redundancy of service we have two providers, so. if one goes down, we have another to fall back on.” Commissioners warmed to the idea, but wondered about future scenarios, push­ ing Shinavier to define if 12 Glaucoma and Dry Eye Syndrome January 24 • 11:30 a.m. -1:00 p.m. Pennock Conference Center data In other business, the commission recommended for approval at its Jan. 24 official meeting: • The appointment of Robert Taylor to sene a three-year term on the solid waste oversight committee • A resolution of intent to authorize Barn County Transit to apply for state and federal assistance grants for public transportation operat­ ing and capital funds • Changes to the Joint Workforce Development Agreement from a biennial agreement to one that annually renews automatically with a 60-day termination option • A 2012 budget amend­ ment reflecting revenue and expenditure changes result­ ing from final determination of earlier estimated budget item figures • Amendment to the Bam•r County Animal Control Shelter Advisory Board bylaws to establish onc-year terms for appointed Animal Control Board members The next meeting of the arey County Board of Commissioners will be a strategic planning session to begin at 10 a m Thursday, Jan 19. at the commission meeting room in the Barry County Courthouse. - Ml & $ % & & $ ft 11 1 I.

The Sailors topped the TK LUNCH N' LEARN megabytes of service would be enough for the future. “1 understand there are some locations that can get 24 megabytes.” said Parker “I 'd hate to limit our capaci­ ty by agreeing to six megabyies for 10 years. Mark Graf, of MEI. assured Parker that the com­ pany could deliver more bandwidth, but it would come at a high price. “But how do we get beyond six megabytes it we re locked in to a 10-year contractT’ asked Houtman. Commissioner VanNortwick questioned the appropriateness of MEI as a pm ate company using the public space of a countyowned tower to enhance its business offerings. “If AT&T built a tower, that would be taxable,” noted VanNortwick. “If |ME1] uses our tower, docs it have an unfair advantage? I'm very concerned about trans­ parency — what would that space |on the county-owned tower at the sheriff s depart ment| rent for? We don't know. Is it $l(X) a month? Is the six megabytes we re receiving worth $300 month? “I’m just saying, show me the numbers.” On the suggestion of Parker, the matter was tabled until numbers and additional research can provide further boys that same afternoon 255. The two teams split the two baker games, but the Sailors took the overall pin count in the two games. The Sailors then won both regu­ lar games - outscoring the Trojans 912 to 739 and 838 to 664.

Amy Judge McDowell heard the motion and ruled. Former Hastings Area Schools bus driver, Kohn, 47. was bound over in September on four counts of criminal sexual conduct. Kohn allegedly engaged in sexual activity on numerous occasions with a girl under 13 years old. The incidents did not involve students on his bus route. “Basically, your honor, we are asking for one of three things in this matter,” said Gilbert. “First, we are asking the court to strike the list of witnesses filed by the prosecution in this matter. Secondly, we ask the court to dismiss the case. The third thing we ask is for the court to dismiss this case with prejudice.” Gilbert went on to state the reason for the three motions was the lack of proper conduct on the part of the prosecutor’s office. “My client is faced with numerous life offenses in this matter,” said Gilbert. “Going through the history of this case, the original information was filed with the court sometime in October, but was not served on the defense until December.

I am assuming the prosecution will argue the addresses are in the lice reports and we can get them from the reports. because 21 days may not give them enough time prior to trial.” Gilbert told the court the issue in this case is whether prosecution failed to comply “Out of all these cases, 19 percent of them are done correctly, that’s just not right.” Attorney David Gilbert “He [Evans] did give us a list of proposed exhibits he plans to introduce. As far as this case is concerned, he had a duty, No. 1, to comply within 21 days. He did not do that.” McDowell asked Gilbert whether he received copies of the exhibits, or just an exhibit list. “Just an exhibit list, replied Gilbert. “This is a child sexual abuse activity, and I don’t believe they want to release the pictures. I do believe Mr. Evans was mak­ ing them available for me to look at his office.” Gilbert said he found it hard to believe the prosecu­ tion was not aware they were not complying on time. In one of Gilbert’s legal briefs, he said fairness requires that to convict someone of break­ ing the law, the law should be followed by those enforc­ ing it. The brief goes on to read “In this case, failure to com­ ply with the statute appears to be endemic, if not inten­ tional.” “It was clear, your honor, that when they filed, they knew they weren’t filing within 30 days,” said Gilbert. “Then you look at their pre­ trial statement that is also attached. At the bottom, it says ‘the prosecution has submitted a list of witnesses they propose to offer at trial — see notice of which is attached to the information.’ There is nothing attached to the information. Then under­ neath that, ‘counsel will file a copy of this statement with tile court and defense coun­ sel prior to pre-trial hearing.’ This is dated Dec. 27, 2011. The pre-trial was October of 2011. “In their demand of me, they demand that we comply within 14 days. We [legally] have 21 days to comply. But, perhaps they want 14 days September 20 October 18 November 15 December 20 with established filing laws, and he asked what should to be done about it. “If they want to amend information, they are sup­ posed to go to court and request a leave to amend,” said Gilbert. “In this case, they have not done that; they just filed their notice of wit­ nesses. We are asking that notice to be stricken because they have not done it proper­ ly. “Then we get down to ‘good cause.’ The prosecutor says there is good cause for not filing. The prosecutor argues it was a bad weekend; that he had a lot of things going on the week before. That belays the fact that they knew it was supposed to be attached information when it was filed with the court back in October.” Gilbert said he reviewed all of the cases that have been filed in Barry County over the course of the past year. “This is not something that happens occasionally,” he said. “There were 276 felony cases on file for 2011. I could not find around seven of them. That leaves 269. Out of the remaining cases, I actually looked at 186 cases which were pled out. That left about 83 cases to go. Out of 83 cases, you have five prosecutors. Saying that somehow they don’t have the time to handle 83 cases just isn't right.” Although Gilbert’s statis­ tics were not confirmed by the Banner, staff from the county clerk’s office infer­ mally confirmed Gilbert’s contention that the prosecu­ tor’s office habitually files documents late. Gilbert told the court one of the four felony cases the prosecutor’s office has tried since 2009 was that of Justin Malik.

He said the case was originally set for trial June 15, and the prosecution filed a notice of witnesses on May 19 — less than the 30-day rule. “Currently, we have Christopher Tomczyk set for trial for Feb. 6,” said Gilbert. “As of yesterday [Jan. 10] no notice of witnesses has been filed in that case. Robert Harris, had been set for trial on Sept. 12, and notices were filed in that case on Aug. 25. That still was not within 30 days of the first trial date. “The attorney general who appears in Barry County had four cases in this county. On each and every one of them, she complied with the man­ dates of the statute. She has 100 percent compliance.” Gilbert said the statistics he supplied to the court show that the prosecutor has not complied in 276 cases. In the other 79 cases, according to Gilbert’s statistics, the prose­ cution complied with filing requirements 19 percent of the time. “To say somehow they had good cause — no,” said I % 1Z Gilbert. “I am asking the court to at least strike the witnesses. If the prosecution has no witnesses, they can decide whether or not they want to dismiss the case and reissue. We are asking this court to dismiss the case with prejudice. “I realize this is a capital case, and it is a rather extreme penalty to the peo­ ple for failure to comply with the law, but this is something that is endemic in this prose­ cutor’s office. Out of all these cases, 19 percent of them are done correctly, that’s just not right. “What is the prejudice? How many defendants are faced with this same circum­ stance? Luckily, most of the people in Barry County plead out and they only go to trial once or twice a year on a felony case. But, of those cases, do all these people need to file a motion to get the prosecutor to comply? My client is paying me to represent him. Why should he be paying me to file a motion to make sure the prosecution is doing his job?” Judge McDowell said, “As the defense attorney, you could face a grievance or a malpractice issue [for not filing on time] which the z <»*! $ V.

It is a total lack of following court rules. Every time the court rules are not followed, some­ body has to file a motion. It is causing the same issue for every defendant that comes into Barry County.” Evans then stood and said, “Your honor ... certainly in a world where many of the things plead at pre-trial, it became a customary practice, in this court, to not always attach a list.” “You mean you made it a a practice not to attach a list? questioned McDowell. “Your honor, I’ve never, in the 10 years I have been here ...” said Evans. “I am asking because 1 thought you said the court made it a practice, but that wouldn’t be correct,” McDowell explained. “Your honor, we have a modified trial bench; things move quickly,” said Evans. “There is no arraignment a day, per se. But, there still is the statute of 30 days. “1 believe I have shown, No. 1, good cause. As the court is aware, that was a very hectic period, •n and I was doing motions and things on that very case,” he said. “Also, I .was sick before that. Also, [the rule] says ‘timely filed.’ The date it was due was a holiday. This was due on Christmas, and it was filed the first day after Christmas. “So, I guess I would say the rule has not been broken, but if it has, anything we can do to remedy that is fine,” added Evans. “I don’t know if the court wants to hear about other cases, but it is not endemic. There were numbers thrown around. “Generally people know when there is a plea, and they don’t file unnecessary docu­ ments,” Evans concluded. Gilbert empathized that the prosecutor had been ill and the holidays can be a busy time of year. “If they were going to comply, they would have complied with something, but they didn’t comply with anything,” Gilbert said. “Not just in this case, but all the other cases that have been there too • • • that’s over 80 cases.” McDowell directed her comments to the prosecu­ tion, “Well, I know what my order said, and it was not complied with. It's unfair to Mr. Gilbert, [for your office] not to comply with the rules that are laid out for discovery and the timing for discov­ ery.” Gilbert then asked Evans, “How do I prepare for a case when you wait until the last minute to give me things that should have been given to me months before?” After defense and prose­ cution had presented their arguments to the court, Judge McDowell said the question is whether there was good cause and whether the defendant is prejudiced by that. “Like I said, it is com­ pletely unfair to the defen­ dant and Mr. Gilbert, or any other attorney, not to have the information within the given time frame. He has got a job to do,” said McDowell. “He can be grieved. He can be sued. That doesn’t apply to you [Evans]; you have immunity. governmental Nobody can sue you or grieve you.

As to not providing the information you are sup­ posed to provide, I need to decide if it is overly prejudi­ cial to the defendant. That's why I am interested in what witnesses you knew about Mr. Gilbert. What witnesses were listed in the police report? But, certainly you shouldn't have to sift through those. “You have four assistants, Mr. Evans, to help you. This seems to be a chronic prob­ lem,” she said. “You have to understand the position Mr. Gilbert is in. I understand you were ill and the Christmas holiday, but you do have four people to help you. That’s why they are there, so you don’t have to take it all on yourself. But, that's your decision. “Mr. Gilbert, because it is a very heavy sanction to have a witness list stricken and because it was not over­ ly prejudicial to your client, the court is denying your motion to strike the witness list as well as dismissing the case.” The Banner was informed Tuesday that Kohn pleaded guilty on two counts of crim­ inal sexual conduct, with two counts being dismissed.

January 21, 2012 Retired TK teacher switches subjects to bridge building I by DougL VanderLaan r Editor As a 35-year teacher of English and language arts at Thomapple Kellogg Public Schools in Middleville, Gerald Stein grew accus­ tomed to turning the pages of compositions and book •Il reports. Today, in the free­ dom of retirement, Stein has found renewal — and some ability — in turning playing cards. “1 learned how to play bridge in high school and then got hooked up with the game through a graduate stu­ dent during my years at Central Michigan University,” says Stein, 65. "Professor West, a chemistry teacher, was the coach of our team, and I remember going to places as far as Bowling Green University for •I ames.” 8 DOBBINS $ COMPLETE AUTO SERVICE CENTER • - Your Local GM Automotive Specialists 'i -apgl. a G WE HONOR <*M PROTECTIONI EXTENDED PLAN Warranties LOCATED JUST SOUTH OF HASTINGS ON M79 Our Diagnostic Computer Software is Compatible With AH Makes & Models <2S9> rz> rrr * * - Unlike many bridge afi­ cionados who drifted away from the game after learning it at an early age, Stein and his wife, Regina, looked at bridge as a way to introduce themselves to the new com­ munity of Middleville when they arrived in 1969 — and then nearly collapsed from their exposure to the game. “I found out that Hastings was a really big bridge-play­ ing town, and I told Regina that we should join a group at St. Rose Church as a way to get to know people,” Stein chuckles today. “Well, we had also already joined the Middleville Reading Club which was doing the same thing.

It was a great way to meet new couples, but we found out that a lot of couples were older and went to Florida for the winter. "They would all come home at the end of April and, in order to get the 10 matches played in one year, we had to play seven nights of bridge in seven nights.” Overexposure never waned the enthusiasm of the Steins — it fueled it. Today Gerald is an accredited bridge teacher, certified the through American Contract Bridge League. He’s taught the game privately, to community education classes in the area, and this week began a stint as a bridge columnist for the Hastings Banner. He’ll also be leading a nine-week introductory class to held at the Regional Manufacturin Training Center in Battle Creek on Sundays from 10 a.m. to noon, beginning Jan. 29. Reservations are still being taken at 269-948-9500 ext. 2804 or by calling Stein at 269-795-3713. Stein's passion is to help build the game to the high level it once enjoyed in near­ ly every community in America. “It's a game that is always evolving,” marvels Stein of the one card game that combines intellect with good for­ tune. "It’s still played with 52 cards, and you still have hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades but there are always new conventions and new ways of doing things.” Stein concedes that bridge, like many table games, friay be fading from the radar screens of younger people, but he’s quick to point out the game’s advan­ tages and the ACBL’s response to the challenge.

If you want new players, you have to teach them; you have to welcome them. Today, there are a lot of bridge software pack­ ages and there’s even an app for the smartphone. “We want to encourage kids to play. We want them to have choices rather than just texting all day — and there’s not much violence in bridge.” Stein points out the game has perhaps the greatest ambassadors who play as bridge partners and who have targeted interesting younger people in the game: Bill Gates and Warren Buffet. Though the Steins have yet to meet or to match wits against that stellar duo, they have met many people throughout the country in their loving pursuit of the game. Each week, the couple drives 40 miles to a bridge club in Kalamazoo and recently participated in a masters point tournament in Louisville, Ky., that attracted 10,000 players for a 10-day event. They stay apprised of table talk, technical tips and national news from 3,200 bridge clubs and 1,110 tour­ naments held in North America through Bridge Bulletin magazine. “Frank Stewart (a leading bridge expert) says that, of the 165,000 ACBL mem­ bers, only 1 percent of them are interested in playing competitively,” says Stein. “My interest is in sharing something I like to do with others.” I Thornapple Kellogg’s girls win another league jamboree Thomapple Kellogg’s var­ sity competitive cheer team cleaned up its round two per­ formance a bit and added a third O-K Gold Conference victory at Wednesday Wayland Union High School.

Team team’s round two perform­ ance, which earned a score of 214.6338, was nearly 16 points better than it had been at the previous league jam­ boree.

Thornapple Kellogg improved to 8-3 on the season by knocking off Kelloggsville in Wyoming Tuesday and then topping Hamilton- in Middleville Friday. “Our conference is SO tough. There are teams out­ side our conference that are tough. No disrespect to Hamilton or to Kelloggsville, but neither one of them are the kind of competition we'll see in our league,” said TK head coach Mike Rynearson. ll That’s just the way it is. These arejhe ones you’ve got to win. These are the ones you’ve got to get. Next week you've got Ottawa (Hills) on Tuesday and South (Christian) on Friday. That’s about as tough as you can get right there.” TK showed that it’s a team that’s becoming tougher to beat on Friday night, topping the visiting Hawkeyes 68-54. TK's lead hit double digits for the first time midway through 1 r Thornapple Kellogg s Jordan Timm pressures Hamilton s Ethan Buresh in the back-court during the first quarter Friday. (Photo by Brett Bremer) the second quarter and seven points was as close as the Hawkeyes ever got in the second half. guard Senior Greg Hamilton led TK with 261 points, and senior center Caden Francisco finished with 16. ll We got the ball up the floor. Greg did a nice job of passing ahead and getting it to the wings so we could get into things, Rynearson said. I think the big factor is that we've started to get Caden Francisco the ball a lit­ tle bit and started dumping it down into him." That’s something the Trojans have been focusing on recently. “Anybody that knows any­ thing about the game of bas­ ketball knows that when you start getting some presence down low that will start tak­ ing some of the pressure off the guards up on top. Early in the season we weren’t even getting him touches.” Rynearson said the improvement in that aspect of the game has been a combination of work by the guards and by Francisco himself. “(Francisco) needs to work harder, and he’s doing a good job of sealing his guy and the guards are doing a nice job of swinging -the basketball and getting him in position to pin down. It’s a combination, and he and the guards are working well together right now.” A few big shots by Chris Scholten kept Hamilton in the game early. He finished with a team-high 16 points. ll We talked about him. He’s just a pure shooter. He shoots it from up over the top of his head. If you give him a step, he'll shoot it anyway. He kept them in the game a couple of times.” TK ran out to an 8-2 lead in the first four and a half min­ utes of the game, but back-toback threes by Scholten tied things up and Hamilton led 12-10 at the end of the first quarter. The Trojans though went on a 9-2 run to start the second quarter, taking the lead back, and they never trailed again. Scholten though only hit two more threes the rest of the night. Hamilton also got ten points from Nick Kronemeyer and nine from Ethan Buresh. Behind the top two for TK, Grant Allison and Zac Comeau had six points each, TK scored a 65-54 win over Kelloggsville in Wyoming Tuesday. The Trojans jumped out to a 20-10 lead in the openin g quarter and never looked back, as Francisco and Hamilton poured in 18 points each. TK also got 12 points from DJ Nolff and six from Jordan Timm. Kelloggsville got 22 points from Alston Ferrell and nine from Cody Williams. fl > i \-itf ■.jjdc Thornapple Kellogg center Caden Francisco goes over the top of Hamilton’s Elijah Walker for two points early in the second quarter Friday.

We did a triangle-and-two. We inverted our triangle. We did just about everything pos­ sible. And not only that, we didn't have practice yesterday and it looked pretty darn good for me putting it in 45 min­ utes before game time.” Overbeek probably should­ n't have had a chance to lead her team past TK. TK led 2317 at the half, and had its lead up to as many as nine points in the third quarter and eight in the fourth. The Trojan offense sput­ tered in fourth quarter, as the team tried to spread the floor and work the clock a little. “We're just hurrying. Not getting to our fight spots ’ When you’re in a game you’re not supposed to be in sometimes you just lose it,” Bays said. “I think a couple of times when we tried to spread them out, our guards weren't understanding that you can’t be by each other. We were trying to spread them out when the opportunities were Thornapple Kellogg’s Sydney Krol flips a shot up over there, but we were just too Hamilton’s Rachael Tolsma early in the second half close to each other.” Friday night in Middleville.

The LC boys did have to play the full 51 minutes Saturday in their conference contest against Grand Rapids Christian at Eagles Ice Center. “We had to get our feet back underneath us, and 1 knew we were going to come in for at least essentially a pretty good battle,” said LC head coach Tim Beurer. “We were going to play a whole game, which is something we haven’t done in three. I knew that was going to end up happening for us today. They played well.” By the end of the night the LC boys were in full stride, and they handled the Eagles 4-1 r* with Grand Rapids Christian netting its only goal on the power play in the final minutes. The win moves the LC team’s record to 5-0 in the O-K Conference Tier III, and 12-1 overall. “We got a lot of good effort,” said Beurer. “I'm always expecting good effort from your star players or your players that log the most ice time, but I got play­ ers in there today that don't log the most ice time and they played well today. They took advantage of the time that they got. “Number 13 was one of them for our team today, (first) period, was the result of the forecheck that he per­ sonally did in the comer.” The puck came out to Collin Finkhouse, who got it to Kyle Jansens, and Jansens put it into the back of the Eagle net for a 1 -0 LC lead at the 13:10 mark of the first period. The LC boys controlled the puck throughout the first period, but coach Beurer wanted more as the game progressed. “(After the first period) 1 said, look we're going to have to finish. Do you think you can play better? They said, yes. 1 said, well that’s your challenge. 1 need you to play better as this thing goes. We got a lot better puck con­ trol. We got a lot better tight­ ening. We just had a little bit better puck control, and were able to control the play even more than we did in the first period.” The LC boys pushed their lead to 2-0 on a goal by Bailey Rietman at the 15:18 mark of the second period. off an assist from Braden McGillicuddy. LC then tacked on a cou­ ple of goals in the middle of the third period. Josh Dillon had a shot trickle through Christian goalie Jake StilleBultema at the 8:41 mark, a shot that only got all the way across the goal-fine because the puck was on its edge, Collin Finkhouse added a power play goal at the 12:49 mark, firing in a rebound after teammate Kyle Jansens Caledonia’s boys roll .1 . i in i j their way past wayiana Caledonia’s varsity boys’ bowling team knocked off Travis DeHaan a 227 and Justin Tuuk a 208.

That was the only puck to get through Smith all evening, at least the only one that counted. Both teams had goals waived off during the contest, including tow by the Eagles in the third period. Smith made 18 saves on the night. LC outshot the Eagles 2619. “We needed to get back-in the groove because we don't have any easy games left,” Beurer said. “ I'm sure that Unity will be a different game when we have to play them the next time. That’s not going to happen again. We have to continue to play hard and do all that.” Beurer's team came into the contest with the Eagles having topped the Unity Knights 11-1 in league action Jan. 11 and the Grand Rapids Public Schools team 10-1 Jan. 13. Of the 11 remaining games for the LC team seven are conference contests including today's match-up with Jenison at the Grand Rapids Edge Ice Arena in Byron Center.

The Fighting Scots improved to 4-0 in the O-K Gold Conference with a 4712 win over host Grand Rapids Catholic Central. Gorby pinned Ben Waterhouse 58 seconds into their 285-pound match. That was the first of seven straight wins for the Fighting Scots to open the dual. Noah Williams at 103 pounds and John Leark at 112 followed that pin up with major decisions, then the Scots took six team points at each of the next four weight classes. Spencer Plattnerat 119 pounds, Ethan Young at 125 and Joey Montney at 135 each won by pin and Bobby Montney won by forfeit at 135 pounds. Caledonia led 38-0 at that point. “We really did wrestle well,” said Caledonia head coach Shawn Veitch. “The thing that really made the difference to me was that you're going to lose matches, but we only lost three points in every match we lost. Nobody got majored and nobody got pinned.” Catholic Central won four of the last seven weight classes, but a three-point 5-2 victory by Joe English over Paul Williams at 140 pounds was the most lopsided of any of those Cougar victories. A late reversal allowed Dan Gallagher to top the Scots' Travis Pitsch 4-3 at 160 pounds, while Luke Ens topped John Hubbell 8-7 at 152 and Dan Drummond edged Kyle Schutt 3-2 at 189. During that stretch the Fighting Scots had Garrett Hubbell top Noah Sullivan 8-5 at 145 pounds, Eric Piccard defeat AJ Zerudoakis 8-6 at 171 and Joel Wenk top Ross Hulik 43 at 215. Caledonia suffered its only loss of 2012 Saturday at the Alma Duals, finishing second to New Lothrop. New Lothrop topped the Scots 4523 in the day's championship fa match. Caledonia started out the tournament with a 55-24 win over Midland, a 48-13 win over Lansing Eastern, a 5123 win over Farmington Hills Harrison and a 36-34 win over Pine River. Plattner, Gorby and Brad Orszula were each 5-0 on the day for the Scots, while Leark, Noah Williams, Garrett Hubbell, Schutt and Wenk were each 4-1. The previous weekend Caledonia won the Rogers Invitational, and they’d fol­ lowed that up with league wins over Forest Hills Eastern (66-11) and Ottawa Hills (76-0) Jan. 11. Caledonia hosts its own six-team Caledonia Invitationl today, and the Scots return to conference action Wednesday when they visit Wayland. jjl'iH' Air® & I I r/ I/- PROFESSIONAL BASEMENT SERVICES r 1 «=^( - «= Li r 1 / D nF* ll I» — 7^5=-- ‘I H V il vnr I' ll *1 BASEMENT WATERPROOFING Licensed I Insured / Local Call Scon 517-290-5556 • 877-448-1548 FREE Consultation & Estimates!

M-43 Highway, Hastings, Ml 49058 No. 4/January 28, 2012 .oW 137th year Festive meeting honors Caledonia school board members by Fran Faverman Staff Writer The music of the Strike band from Duncan Lake Middle School and the honor of National School Board Recognition Month created a festive monthly meeting for the Caledonia Community Schools District Board of Education Tuesday evening. The band, under the direc­ tion of band teacher Don Raaymakers, played one of its compositions to an enthu­ siastic audience of parents, board members, and other guests to open the meeting. Raaymakers later explained that the band started several years ago as a small percus­ sion group and has become an accomplished group of approximately 15 members who use about $200,000 worth of equipment. Board members received umbrellas in the district's deep lavender colors as gifts of appreciation for their serv­ ice.

Phillips thanked board members for their hundreds of hours service. President • Mike Board Patterson thanked Phillips and added his compliments to the band for its performance. Chad Riley, a district resi­ dent who teaches in another district, rose during the pub­ lic comment period7 to express his concerns about the common core curriculum and the changes to the Educational Michigan Assessment Program scores. A primary concern for Riley is the extent of the influence exerted by what he described as the corporate education reform movement. Riley distributed a chart showing in hierarchical order the influence on education of several groups beginning with foundations, hedge fund managers, the federal gov­ ernment, and associations such as the National Governor's Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers. Additional groups farther down the list include those backing the common core standards and various organ­ izations with a vested inter­ est such as the consortium charged with creating a national test. Last, at the bot­ tom of the chart according to Riley, are students and the public, which includes local control and school boards. Riley said that he has spent 12 years as an educator and feels that the push for national standaids will lead to teachers to “teach to the test.” Riley also feels educa­ tion has become too politi­ cized and has strong reserva­ tions about the influence on the structure of education exerted by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. During the business1 por­ tion of the agenda, the board approved a recommendation from Phillips to make lacrosse a self-funded junior varsity sport this spring. The move represents the further development of lacrosse as a sport following its approval as a self-funded varsity sport last year. Gary Delger, director of operations, explained the rationale behind a recom­ mendation to purchase a new mower at a cost of $49.258.18 from Spartan Distributors for the care and maintenance of the f ields and grounds. The new mower & will replace an aging unit and will provide a 12-foot cutting V* K v i a ■ path. The purchase was approved unanimously. Phillips also recommend­ ed an upgrading of the card security system at the Lake Middle Duncan School. The system had been installed when the facility \ was the high school and is the oldest building security system still in use in the dis­ trict. Phillips observed that, when the district had asked for community input to determine how the balance of the 2007 bond money should be spent, upgrading the system at Duncan Lake had received a great deal of support. The board approved a quote in the amount of from Riverside $10,361 Security Inc. The board also approved __ the foliowin followinga personnel actions: family medicaHeave absences for Shannon Foster, occupational therapist, and Victoria Young, kinder­ garten teacher. Dutton; the o resignation of Deb Williams as girls' junior varsity tennis coach; and the retirements of Donna Basarabski, alterna­ tive education secretary , and Donna Kaechele, paraprofessional at Emmons Lake Elementary School. As part of his monthly report to the board, Phillips observed that the district was midway through a winter sports season that is proving to be a good one for Caledonia. Addressing the issue of the decline in MEAP scores that will result from the change in the cut scores, Phillips said he has a letter on the ' district website explaining the issue. The district will live with the prob­ lem for two years until the state goes to the National Assessment Test. Phillips does not want parents to blame teachers and students for the lower scores. As an example, he cited the change in the passing score for sci­ ence from 65 percent to 83 percent. On the ability of the district to weather the commented he change. wryly, "We are resilient."

Boysen said he received a call from Brian Reynolds of the histor­ ical society about its project to feature historical happen­ ings that affected different townships in the county. Boysen has already under­ taken the work of finding major events, compiling a list of famous fires in Thomapple Township. He expressed his desire for board assistance should he need it. The historical society held its inaugural spotlight meet­ ing in November 2011, and plans to feature each of the county's 16 townships over the next four years. Staff Writer A unanimous vote by the Thomapple Township Board of Trustees Jan. 10 set a renewal of the EMS millage to appear on the ballot in August. The final wording of the proposed renewal must be completed by May 15. Supervisor Don Boysen made the motion, with trustee Walter Eavey sup­ porting.

If you close it down, it’s like dying.” It’s been Sclafani’s life for more than the 32 years Phil’s has been in Middleville. He partly owned a pizzeria in New York City. Thenrecently married, his brotherin-law asked for his help in purchasing and running the pizza joint at which he worked. So Sclafani quit his job as a banker - a job he held for a year - and entered the food industry, . specializing in pizza, with brothers-in-law Vinny and Frank. He eventually decided to move away from his roots in New York and create a new life with his wife and four children. Don’t him, mistake though, for leaving behind siblings and in-laws. “I love my family dearly. I really am a family man,” he says. “But you appreciate each other better, believe it or not.” Ross and Marie continued to raise their own family in Middleville, which has now grown to include grandchil­ dren. Those grandchildren, he said, practically grew up in the restaurant. At one point, a play pen could be found in the back where the kids would entertain them­ selves. Over time, Middleville became a sort of family for the Sclafanis, as well. In 2005, the Village of Middleville irecognized Phil’s with a resolution for 25 years of service. The restaurant became a favorite of Middleville resi­ dents for generations. Walls lined with framed photos show the impact he and his family have had on the area. Thornapple Township receptionist Karen Winans said, “I’ll miss how they truly care about your family. They don’t just get to know the faces. They get to know you and your family. It’s a rare thing, but it’s also very true.” Appropriately, the food, too, has made its mark. “They’re the only place around I could get an egg­ plant parmesan sub. My kids loved the pepperoni twists,” said Catherine Getty, who works with both the town­ ship and the village. . Perhaps the best is when the food and the heartfelt service combine. Thomapple Township Treasurer Debra Buckowing said, “The thing I will miss the most are Maria’s home­ made Italian cookies and pastries they give out for customer appreciation dur­ ing the holidays. They’re the best thing in the world.” It was a separate life for Sclafani, his wife and his kids, but it hasn’t separated him from his family back in New York. He talks to his sister daily. Despite the Detroit Tigers shirt he sports beneath a seasoned black apron, a section of his wall is dedicated to the New York Yankees. Paula says it’s hard to know what to get him for Christmas, but they can’t go wrong with Yankee para­ phernalia. Phil’s menu alone reflects Sclafani’s respect for his roots. The food is traditional — Sclafani says he likes to stick to the original methods and recipes. He admits to making a few changes, like baking his calzones rather than fry­ ing them. (“The grease,” he explains.) But he’s adamant that it’s not the making of a dish but how the different parts of that dish are put together that matter. He provides an example: “If it‘didn’t have ricotta cheese in it, you’ve never had a calzone.” He said his reason for retiring is purely personal. He’s one of only two surviv­ ing children, and he knows it’s his time to try something different. “I’m just looking out the window," he says with a metaphorical wave of his hands. He’d like to leave the business while he still has his health, saying, “Doing it when they carry you out on a stretcher is no fun.” “Business is still good,” he adds. “Don’t get me wrong. Business is excellent.” He gave his children the option of carrying on the family business. The two who have stayed behind to help with the restaurant, however, decided not to. Sclafani says he understands. It’s been 32 years for them, as well. 44 They're burned out, too,” he says. Something he looks for­ ward to in retirement, some­ thing he says he doesn’t have, is a social life. He leaves the restaurant at 11 at night and goes to bed only to return to the restaurant at 10 the next morning. What he plans to do with this extra time, he doesn't know. He doesn't know, because he doesn't plan. “Only when you get up in by Fran Faverman Staff Writer Concerns about possibly bad weather shortened the Jan. 12 meeting of the Yankee Springs Township Board of Trustees, but not before board members and the audience learned about the county’s court system. Barry County Circuit Court Judge Amy McDowell appeared to explain how a unified court works. In such a court, she said, every judge is able to hear all cases regardless of thejudge’s title; this spreads the case­ load more evenly and enables a court to be more efficient, thus reducing the cost of operating the court 11 Assisted Living Family Home 269-948-9842 http://river-ridqe.biz/ -»• F I’f ■W i v MT I i•’.

He wants to discover things, like why Death Valley is called Death Valley. He explains that that mystery was uncov­ ered for him in a science show he recently watched. It’s that mystery, however, of the natural landscape that he wants to experience. “People are people, no matter where you go. But you’ll see a mountain carved by the wind. No one but Mother Nature made that.” As for when he’s in town, he’ll still stop and chat and ask about the family. And everyone will still know him as Ross. Or Phil.

David Tripp, chair of the Barry County Community Corrections Board, described a new program the county is beginning to help offenders get their general education diplomas, the recognized avenue for persons who do not have a high school diplo­ ma. Barry County has been chosen to receive a grant from the state to fund the pilot program. The objective, according to Tripp and to Judge McDowell, is toto improve the ability of offenders to get gainful employment, thus reducing their chances of going to prison. Michigan Works, the state unemployment agency, is also involved in the pro­ gram. County Commissioner Craig Stolsonburg reported that the sheriff’s department and the prosecutor's office have submitted their budgets for 2012. Three of the four • • < « • * unions in the sheriff’s department have ratified contracts; there are no provi­ sions for wage increases in the first two years of the three-year contract; wage negotiations can be opened in the third year. Commissioners expect to begin strategic planning to cope with a projected budget deficit for 2013 of $1.2 mil­ lion. Yankee Springs Township Supervisor Al McCrumb in his report noted that the costs for fuel and electricity for the Gun Lake Area Sewer and Water Authority have increased. The authority manages a public water sys­ tem that services part of Yankee Springs Township. He also noted that an alterna­ tive plan for parking spaces at the township hall had been presented. The plan would add two more spaces to the current 38. He recommended sticking with the original plan to expand the lot to 60 spaces. Zoning Administrator Robert Lippert reported that •A the month of December saw two planning reviews com­ pleted: a covered porch at a residence on Valley Drive and the expansion of a new building at Elmwood Beach, Two additional letters of map amendment amendment were received from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, bringing the: current total to 267, an error rate of over 55 percent.

Leper concluded his report noting that the board of trustees, the planning com­ mission and the zoning board of appeals will hold their annual joint meeting Wednesday, Feb. 1, at 7 p.m. in the township hall, 284 N.

She also noted that some of the ballots for the Feb. 28 presidential primary election in Precinct 2 (the Payne Lake Road Fire feat a ft r Station) will have a millage renewal for the Delton Kellogg schools. Voters must ask for a Republican or Democrat ballot for the pri­ mary. Treasurer John Jerkatis provided a drawing for a pro­ posed layout of the handi­ capper-accessible restroom in the hall. The current plans call for using an area on the south side of the hallway that is currently used for storage. His plan would use a signifi­ cant portion of the existing kitchen to create a unisex restroom on the north side of the hallway. He requested that his drawing be attached to the minutes of the meet­ ing.

"We start preparing for this shortly after school •SI begins in the fall, and go until nationals in the spring,” co-advisor and business teacher Jerry Keron said. "It was a long day, but a satisfy­ ing one. I wish I could take everyone to the state confer­ ence, but honestly 39 was beyond my expectations." He. concluded, "Yes, it was a good day.” Staff Writer Steven Sawdy had his two industrial facilities tax abate­ ment requests approved by the Middleville Village Council following a public hearing Jan. 24. These requests regard real property for Lighthouse Property Development LLC and H&L Manufacturing. The money in question is $51,500 with Lighthouse and $1.18 million with H&L. Responding to Trustee Joyce Lutz during the hear­ ing, village attorney Mark Nettleton, backed by village manager and finance director Rebecca Fleury, said that a tax abatement is a good way to encourage businesses to expand. The abatement, which would reduce taxes by 50 percent, does not take away from what the village already gets jinn property taxes. Rather, it reduces what the village village would would receive receive from from an addition or expansion. Sawdy’s property is located at 900 Main St. Nettleton reported that the granting of these abatement requests would in no way harm the village’s finances. In two separate resolu­ tions, the council voted to grant the abatement for six MEETING, continued from page 1------- years. The maximum period is 12 years. The council, however, decided to follow precedent by granting only six, with another six years available after reapplication. Sawdy said his lone con­ cern with a six-year abate­ ment is having to deal with a whole new council when he reapplies. Perhaps, he said, the new council would not be willing to grant his request again. Mike Lytle, trustee and president pro tempore, said it shouldn't be a concern, as long as Sawdy follows the conditions, "While I’ve been here, it's been pretty much automat­ ic,” he said. The council also agreed to follow precedent with the period of repayment, transi­ tioning from 100 percent coverage in the first two years, then 60 percent in the third and fourth years, and finally 40 percent in the final two years. Another issue is the dis­ cussion at the state level of abolishing the property tax. Nettleton said that should the property tax be abolished, would abatement this become null and void. However, he said, state legislators will take their time on this issue, the void- Be "SENSIBLE" ing of all such abatements being one of many effects of terminating property taxes. Properties are eligible for the abatement in the circum­ stances of land improve­ ments. buildings, structures and other real property, machinery , equipment, furni­ ture and fixtures, the primary purpose of which is manu­ facturing or processing. In other business, although the snow has melted away, council members noticed before the melt that snowmo­ biles had passed through downtown. Fleury said the village is scheduled to have snowmo­ bile patrolmen, which should help with the problem. The Snowmobile Michigan Association has been and will continue to post signs indicating where drivers can and cannot take their snow­ mobiles. Fleury said the patrolmen have the authority to issue citations and take any other measures the situation may require.

These paper bags will be used at Kid's Food Basket for sack dinners, feeding more than 4,600 stu­ dents in Kent County. The families of Lee stu­ dents donated juice boxes, fruit cups, pudding cups and sandwich bags. The donation of food came out to 812 pounds — a $1,762 value. “This is amazing,” said Erika Dudik, administrative assistant to the superintend­ ent. The Lee Student Council had the opportunity to take all the donations to the Kids Food Basket and spend an hour of their time providing the much-needed service of packing, sorting and stacking the food items at the Grand Rapids location. Deborah Jensen, Lee stu­ dent council advisor, organ­ ized the event. “The students learned the gift of service and honored the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.," said Dudik, adding that teachers at Lee Elementary embedded instruction about Martin Luther King Jr. into their les­ sons. 1 Dedicated After Care Assistance.

The reports •It are coming primarily from schools and day care facili­ ties. •The illness begins abrupt­ ly in otherwise healthy indi­ viduals and usually goes away without needing*4 to see a physician. Other counties in the state also are noting an increase in clusters of vomit­ ing and diarrhea illness, said Dr. Robert Schirmer, med­ ical director at the BarryDistrict Eaton Health Department in a press release Friday. This vomitin; •4 and diarrhea illness, also known as gastroenteritis, is consistent with an infection called norovirus. Norovirus is spread easily between peo­ ple. The virus can be trans­ mitted by eating food that &s : Qh si* ?§ § *k A S « .la J?

More norovirus resources are available at the health department website in the news section on the home www.barryeatonpage, health.org. “Symptoms that are not seen with norovirus infection are bloody diarrhea, high fever, or more than six loose stools Bin in 24 hours." said Dr. Schirmer. “If these symp­ toms develop, contact your medical provider."

Because the virus is spread easily between peo­ ple, Schirmer said the illness is often associated with set­ *4 tings where people gather and are in close contact, such as families, nursing homes, hospitals and schools. The health department has the following advice to help prevent the spread of 1 norovirus gastroenteritis: • Use chlorine bleach­ based cleaners to disinfect surfaces, contaminated Contaminated carpet or upholstered furniture needs to be steam-cleaned. • In case of vomit, clean within a 25-foot radius since vomiting may spread the virus through the air to sur- k* IM i ’ ri'» 1 Mi in III !25,M Kii Ml pm = , HU MBS* I I ^?Caledott £1 Accountim Timothy Nijb.

While this expression may be appli­ cable in many areas of life, it's especially relevant for ‘ because the investors more time you spend not investing, the less money you are likely to have when you really need it, such as during your retirement. That's why it’s essential that you don't wait to start savin' for your days as a retiree. Many people think it won't make much difference if they delay investing for a few years. As you know, time flies, and before you know it, “a few years" turns and a into a decade Hi decade's postponement in saving for retirement can make an enormous differ­ ence in your life. How big a difference? Suppose you plan to retire at age 65. If at age 25. you began putting*4 $200 a month into a tax-deferred vehicle, such as a traditional Individual Retirement Account (IRA), and your investments inside that IRA hypothetically earned on average 7% a year, you would accumulate about $512,000 after 40 years. However, if you had waited 0 I I ,06769128 only a small amount, such as $50 per month, you'll have made a start. To make it easier on vourself, set up your accounts to automatically move a set amount each month into your IRA. As the above examples show, the best way to build substantial savings is to start early, but even if you're in your 30s or 40s, you can catch up — although you'll need to save more to poten­ tially get to the same level. • Increase your invest­ ments when your income rises. Every time you get a salary increase, boost your contributions to your IRA and your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan. • Don't take a “timeout" from investing. Keep on investing, whether the “news of the day" is positive or neg­ ative. The best investors are those who follow a consis­ »4 tent strategy and continue investing, year in and year out. In short, save early, save often — and keep investing. This article was written hr MT Edward Jones for use by local Edward Jones Iyour F Financial Advisor. Now Enrolling!

Broadway 945-2192 until you were age 30 to start saving for retirement, with all else being equal, you'd end up with only about S355.OOO when you reached 65 — $157,000 less — due to that five-year delay. And if you waited 10 years, until you were 35. you'd end up with about $243,000 — far less than half of what you would have accumulated had you started saving at 25. (Keep in mind that you will eventually have to pay taxes on these accumulations, and the actual figures don't reflect fees, commissions or expenses.) Clearly, the cost of delay can be considerable — which is why you should consider taking these steps: • Develop a strategy with your financial advisor. It's easier to stick to a strategy if you know where you're going. Your financial advisor can help you determine How much you need to save to reach the type of retirement you've envisioned. • If you haven't started saving, begin now. If you wait until you feel more comfortable financially before you invest for retire­ !4 ment, you may never begin.

(Photo by Brett Bremer) by Brett Bremer Sports Editor Off the ice it was a very good day for the Unity Knight hockey team which hosted the O-K Conference Tier 111 showcase at Grand Rapids Edge ice arena in Byron Center Saturday. Not only was it the Tier 111 showcase, but the Knights hosted a “Blood Match" day, in which they wore special red jerseys and raised funds for the Be The Match Foundation. " “Team Be The Match is a nationwide community com­ mitted to helping patients in peed of a marrow transplant by raising funds to add more potential marrow donors to Be The Match Registry," according to the foundation’s website. There were 15 new donors signed up throughout the course of the day. The Knights had some other fun as well, €k •i Real good team cama­ raderie," said Unity head coach Tom Elliott. “We had the ugliest sweater contest today, which was fun." Goalkeeper Brandon Johnson was the winner of that competition, c< The guys seem to be hav­ ing a pretty good time, other than the wins and losses. This team is really tight as a group, which is really good. That helps when you're hav­ ing a tough year like we are.” The Knights' tough year on the ice continued Saturday. They played in the only non-conference contest of the showcase, falling 7-1 to South Christian. M •-J “Tough game," game. said Elliott. “We played well for the first two periods, then we decided in the third period, as we have a habit of doing, we just implode. Young mis­ takes I guess. It was tough •It for the boys, especially against that team.” South Christian had just a I -0 lead after one period, on a goal by Josh Riemersma. Penalties hurt the Knights in the second period, as the Sailors’ Jacob Meekhof scored two power play goals in the first three and a half minutes of the period. “That really hurt. The two power play goals were tough. Then, three of our guys got injured, that even made things worse. The two power play goals were tough, which changed the momentum," Elliott said. The Knights got a little momentum back as Taylor Klotz scored his team's lone goal al the 15:29 mark of the second period. Joe Smith did his best all night to be a pres­ ence in front of Sailor goal­ keeper Dennis Hoekzema, and did so on the Knights' scoring play. Smith earned an assist, as did teammate Jeremy Van deRoovart. 44 Joe is a pretty tough kid. He gets out in front of the net. He's a young kid too, a sophomore. Our first line plays really well,” said Please be advised the Village of Middleville Planning Commission will hold a special meeting and public hearing on Wednesday.

Each year, the proceeds fund the two $500 scholarships The Players present each year to Thornapple Kellogg High School seniors who have participated in some form of the arts and plan to continue that pursuit in college. Last year, about 600 peo­ ple attended the show between the four nights. The players made approximately $2,200 in proceeds. The money was split between the scholarships and the expens­ es for the performances. There are 24 active Village Players this year. The tale of murder and intrigue follows the death of Col. Rance Chickenwing. When Col. Chickenwing kicks the bucket, will he take the secret of the buried treas­ ure to his grave? When the relatives arrive for the read­ ing of the will, there's anoth­ er mysterious death. Who will it be? Can Sheriff Billy Jack solve the crimes before a murderous honeysuckle vine claims another victim? Associate director Cheryl Cravero said the sooner peo­ ple reserve tickets for the play, the better.

Springs holds third annual joint meeting Yankee by Fran Faverman Sta# Writer Three times has come to be a charm in Yankee Springs Township, since, for the third consecutive year, the township's board of trustees, planning commis­ sion, and zoning board of appeals met in a joint annual session that all three entities have found to be helpful in facilitating communications. John Lohrstorfer, town­ ship attorney, led off the Feb. 1 meeting stating that the focus on medical marijuana has changed from regulating dispensaries to treating it as a occupation, home Lohrstorfer advised the township board to proceed cautiously. He observed that current activity is really about getting a measure to legalize marijuana on the ballot. On the renewable energy front, Lohrstorfer comment­ ed that solar panels and indi­ vidual. private wind turbines have not lived up to their ini­ tial promise as an avenue for producing excess power to be sold to power companies. “Nobody is getting rich trying to sell power to the he companies,” said. Lohrstorfer did sound a cau­ tionary note about wind tur­ bine farms, saying that the township might wish to explore an ordinance regulat­ ing such facilities. Clerk Janice Lippert, addressing a question to Lohrstorfer, said she had learned at a recent Michigan Townships Association conference that a new state law prohibiting townships from regulating gravel mining was unconstitutional because its provisions remove local con­ trol. arriT £ 3d zgnnq? liril 3d) 01 3d) 8301ZDT1 lk .noiz noiazoa di svslrl nrtol jiifi qiria loom I iO zuoot isrb a£rl iznoqzib omori otairloJ Itriznwol auoiiuiio ttTSTUJD s Juodfi oiilsgol .lolled I nO •J Jnoil a isri) to q leubiv ton ovefl noiq kit ibuboiq I bloa ad iotf" JignifU insqmoo lOtairioJ i visnoi) nfil on id (irlenwo) s aiolqxa fbua gni iiaaoibbe lOlairloJ e tomsal lirlanwoi ) 3903131 lilidirfoTci tniWugsi lilanoomi noiar/oiq Joi) Lohrstorfer agreed, say­ ing that ordinances should reflect the local community. Yankee Springs is a resort community. Trustee Mary Cook asked if there was any avenue for local residents to receive financial help for the expens­ es incurred in getting Letters of Map Amendment (LOMAs) to remove them­ selves from the flood plain map created by the Federal Management Emergency Agency. The map at this point, she said, has an error rate approaching 60 percent. Lohrstorfer was not opti­ mistic. The staff of the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality con­ tinues to dwindle and FEMA, in the aftermath of the Sept. Il, 2001, attacks and Katrina, overreacted. Isn't there any avenue for property owners to go to recover their costs?” Treasurer John Jerkatis asked. Lohrstorfer said the only avenue was an adminis­ trative hearing but govern­ mental immunity was a major stumbling block. [Unofficial estimates place the amount of money spent by residents to secure at close to LOMAs $100,000] administrator Zoning Robert Lippert said that he and Paul Heystek, chair of the special committee researching the question, had met with State Rep. Mike Callton. Lippert added that FEMA says it used the best available data, which was l approved by the MDEQ. • He added, “It is a question of their definition versus ours,” said Lippert. Cook added that the problem did not affect only Gun Lake. She noted that Barlow, Cobb, and Payne Lakes were also affected. Jerkatis closed the discussion observing that FEMA is a perfect example of government fixing a prob­ lem that does not exist. Greg Milliken, planner, noted highlights of the year, listing the gravel mining ordinance, the definition of a boathouse, starting the update process for the sig­ nage ordinance, and not rec­ ommending the creation of a Yankee Springs farm market as major events. Also on his list is the accessory building ordinance and the gravel mining ordinance. Milliken noted that modifications to ordinances some had relieved the Zoning Board of Appeals of many requests for variances. Rich Beukema, reporting for the Zoning Board of Appeals, observed that the board had met only six times during the year and had approved six variances. Members of the board of trustees asked that there be more information supplied on the variances listed in the report. Beukema also sup ported a regulation designed to improve the quality of housing being built in the township. Township supervisor Al McCrumb raised the issue of people selling fireworks now that the state law has been revised to permit the sale of larger fireworks. He commented that he has seen very large businesses devoted to the^sale of fireworks in other states. Lohrstorfer pointed out that the businesses do exist and would be subject to the new ordinance governing portable businesses. Frank Fiala, chair of the Yankee Springs Planning Commission, said the com­ mission will continue to focus on revising setbacks and other measurements. Also due in 2012, will be an updating of the master plan, which examines and sets goals for land use. He also emphasized the effort mem­ bers of the commission are devoting to continuing edu­ cation through the master planner program operated by the MSU Extension Service. Janice Lippert asked about follow-up on special use exceptions permits. It was determined that the permits have not been followed up adequately. A goal for the coming year is to improve follow-up. A barrier to ade­ quate follow-up of a particu­ larly irritating noise produc­ ing business on a local road is the absence of appropriate equipment for monitoring the business. Members of the township board then expressed their Al concerns. Trustee Schwennesen wants to see a wind turbine ordinance this year. He said the issue is wind turbine farms rather than individual installations. Milliken responded that the real issue is what the state is doing. His advice to the township is don't plan on the state doing anything. Cook endorsed the efforts of both the planning commission and the zoning board of appeals, saying that both agencies operate in a reasonable manner. She said the board is having discussions about local roads. Meetings would be scheduled to begin dealing with roads in subdi­ visions. She also wants dis­ cussion by the board of pos- sible uses for the funds received by the township from the Gun Lake Casino. Jerkatis observed that the casino creates more traffic in Yankee Springs. He wants to leave the funds in a reserve account to deal with changes in the township that are a result of the casino. McCrumb added that so far the township has received $13,000 from the casino. He would like the funds used for the benefit of the entiie com­ munity. McCrumb said the park was completed and the sur­ faces of the courts were pro­ tected by the additional fencing installed to prevent snowmobiles from travers­ ing the courts. A major issue for him is the provision dur­ ing the summer of an ambu­ lance and a full-time person at the Payne Lake Road tire station to be able to deal quickly.with emergencies on Gun Lake. During the final public comment period, Shane Vandenberg rose to suggest that the casino funds be used to determine the status of the wells on the Misak landfill. He thought the wells had last been tested at least ten years ago. His concern is the rate at which leachate from them may be migrating to Gun Lake. Vandenberg noted that, when a subdivision was recently built south of M179, the water discharged into the lake during the dewatering process appeared to contain some of the same chemicals identified in the landfill. McCrumb said, that when he raised the issue with the state, which currently owns the property, he was told the department did not have the personnel to do the testing. When he suggested the township was willing to pay the costs, he was told he could not do that because the state is responsible for the property. Sandy Marcukaitis, for­ mer chair of the Parks and Recreation Committee, sug­ gested that the township should send a letter to Tim Mervau regarding the possible purchase by the township of 11 acres from him for future expansion of the park McCrumb thanked all the participants and adjourned the meeting. • I * < In This Issue... • Caledonia FFA will send 41 students to regionals • Dutton Christian announces geography, spelling bee winners • Scots put half a dozen in top 12 at Bittersweet • Caledonia’s boys and South’s girls remain undefeated in Gold < K I i $ * �Page 2/The Sun and News, Saturday, February 4, 2012 Local talent to audition for I middle school concerto solo by Casey Cheney Staff Writer Hayley Smith, 13, and homeschooled, drew the bow confidently along the strings of her violin. Her strokes with the bow changed from graceful fluidity to a stiff staccato, then back. But one aspect of each stroke remained: confidence. Smith is practicing - per­ fecting - Vivaldi’s Concerto in G Minor for an audition in March. “I’m hoping that I could possibly win,” she said, “but the piece I'm doing needs a lot of work.” The untrained ear has to take her word for it. Smith began playing vio­ lin at 7 years old. In six years, she has graduated- from lessons at the Kindermusik to becoming a part in the West Michigan Homeschool Fine Arts Symphony and the Grand Rapids Youth Symphony Classical Orchestra, where she is first chair. “Violin is really what I wanted to do, and when I started doing it, I loved it right away,” she said. Hayley said a few years ago she wouldn’t have pre­ dicted her progress. “It took me a while to understand why I needed practice,” she explained. “[Then I realized] if I prac­ tice a lot at this, I can get really good.” Still, Hayley said, for sev­ eral years her mantra was simply “week by week.” Tafehtine fiafe * ■■ OFF OFF shear This culminated in an excit­ ing year for Hayley. The first milestone: being accepted into the youth symphony. Beth Smith, Hayley’s mother, said, “I had to make her try7 out - just to see what happens.” Hayley tried out in May of 2011. y that summer, she had been accepted. Then she, with the youth symphony, performed in front of the Grand Rapids Symphony. eth recalls her daughter telling her, “You didn’t think Fd be good enough.” “I guess she proved me wrong," Beth said with a laugh. Later, Hayley auditioned with 120 other violin players around the state for a spot on the All-State Middle School Orchestra. Not only did she make the cut. she sat ninth chair out of the 32 who were chosen. That weekend in January was tough. Two days of fiveand-a-half hours of practice each with a new orchestra and new director. “I've never done anything like All-State,” she said. "Being able to go to an orchestra where everybody was so good already... It was kind of strange getting into a new orchestra and having to work with a new director and new kids” It was hard, but she said they pulled it together and the performance went well. “She came home absolute­ ly exhausted,” her mom added. “There’s always that aspect of friendly competi­ tion,” she said. “It’s been fun getting to know kids from different schools and backB I') •j o O) "J ALL IN-STOCK PRODUCTS 122 E.

And whether you're a sports fan or not, you can probably learn something from the Super Bowl teams that you can apply to other endeavors — such as invest­ ing. What might these lessons be? Take a look: • Pick players carefully. Super Bowl teams don't usu­ ally get there out of luck; they’ve made it in part because they have carefully chosen their players. And to potentially achieve success as an investor, you, too, need carefully chosen “players" — investments that are cho­ sen for your individual situa­ tion. • Choose a diversified mix of players. Not only do Super •owl teams have good play­ ers, but they have good ones at many different positions — and these players tend to play well together. As an investor, you should own a variety of investments with different capabilities — such as stocks for growth and bonds for income — and your various investments should complement, rather than duplicate, one another. Strive to build a diversified portfolio containing invest­ ments appropriate for you situation, such as stocks, bonds, government securi­ ties, certificates of deposit .(CDs) and other vehicles.

If detected early, death from cervical cancer can be prevented through appropri­ ate treatment, and no woman should ever die from cervical cancer, according to staff at the Barry-Eaton District Health Department. In the United States, screening programs have greatly reduced deaths from cervical cancer. Still, an esti­ mated 10,000 American women will be diagnosed this year with invasive cervi­ cal cancer, and more than 50.000 will be diagnosed with early onset cervical can­ cer. The good news is that women have the power to increase their chance of sur­ viving and even preventing cervical cancer. By getting routine Pap screening tests, this devastating disease can be detected and treated early. Cervical cancer develops when abnormal cells in the lining of the cervix begin to multiply out of control. Cervical cancer is almost always caused by the human papillomavirus^, or HPV. HPV is spread through geni­ tal sexual contact. Many peo­ ple who become infected do not have symptoms, and unknowingly spread the virus. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 20 million Americans are currently infected with HPV, and another 6.2 million peop|e become infected each year. At least half of all sexuajjy active men and women acquire genital HPV infec­ tion at some point in their lives. There are more than 100 types of HPV, and not all of them cause health problems. Some kinds of HPV may cause genital warts or cervi­ cal cancer. A person can reduce his or her risk of infection by: • Choosing not to have sex. • Staying in a long-term. mutually monogamous rela­ tionship with an uninfected partner. • Limiting the number of sexual partners. • Receiving the HPV vac­ cination. • Not smoking (smoking doubles a woman's chance of developing cervical cancer). In June 2006, the Food and Drug Administration approved an HPV vaccine which protects against four types of HPV that cause 70 percent of all cervical can­ cers and 90 percent of all genital warts. The HPV vac­ cine is recommended for women between the ages of 9 and 26. The vaccine is given through a series of three shots over a six-month period. The most common side effect is briefrsoreness at the injection site. To learn more about the HPV vaccine contact a physician ohvsician or the Barry-Eaton Barrv-Eaton District Health Department Immunization program in Hastings at 269-945-9516 ext. 129. Get screened regularly. According to the American Cancer Society, women whose HPV-related cervical abnormalities are detected and treated early - at the prehave a cancerous state nearly 100 percent survival rate. The key to prevention and early detection is the Pap screening test. A Pap screen­ ing (often called a Pap smear) is a simple test that can detect changes in cells in and around the cervix. The Barry-Eaton District Health Department offers two programs for women who qualify. The Breast and Cervical Cancer Control Program provides free mam­ mograms and Pap smears to eligible women over age 50. The Family Planning Program provides birth con­ trol, pelvic exams, Pap smears, clinical breast exams, pregnancy testing, female health education and STD counseling, testing and treatment to women who qualify.

Caledonia ends the league duals with a 5-1 mark. The Trojans on the side of the mat leapt up and down, shouted, and waited, and waited and waited for the official to smack his hand to the mat as Sambrano held Caledonia’s Noah Williams on his back for much of the first and second periods.

M-43 Highway, Hastings, Ml 49058 r.oH No. 7/February 18, 2012 I Yankee Springs board split over facilities improvements by Fran Faverman S/fl# Writer Yankee Springs Township officials plan a new run at an old problem with the first meeting of a newly-consti­ tuted facilities committee on Monday, Feb. 20 at 7 p.m. in the township hall at 284 Briggs Rd. Controversy and delayed action has swirled around the issue of improvements to the 1971 township hall building and even the renewed effort to resolve a leaking roof, basement water seepage, and sagging floor joists met with discord at the township meeting on Feb. 9. Clerk Janice Lippert’s introduction of a resolution in line with the recommenda­ tions made by the engineer­ ing firm, Fie Fleis is and revealed VandenBrink, I iu:Y Bioffto iq bio I bsiui ibnoM M ^rlJ no3 noiiOB ) MI22i j I VP I bni. 291 OJ mazed niggaz looeib uibstn i J- > rboitni anil ni i fcfioiJ gni abnaV 1 quickly the division of board members. The first difficul­ ty was getting the motion legally established so that board discussion could occur. "I will support what is needed," said Supervisor Al McCrumb, who finally sup­ ported the motion with reser­ vations, amidst consistent disagreement over what is needed and a concern over cost. Treasurer John Jerkatis asked for the purpose of the resolution to which Lippert replied that the resolution stated the negatives of the building and the improve­ ments needed — specifically the addition of a handicap accessible bathroom, a hand­ icap accessible entrance, and improvements to security and safety. Lippert main- that meeting and was informed that he had been advised of the meeting. However, the official record of the 2010 facilities com­ mittee lists only members of the committee. Jerkatis was not a member of the facilities committee on that date. “We have discussed this to death," stated Trustee Mary Cook to which McCrumb followed by announcing a new facilities committee to be reconstituted with three new members to make a total of 10: Jerkatis, Dave Middleton, fire chief and Yankee Springs resident, and Cathy Strickland, a member of the Yankee Springs Township Planning Commission. Mark Englerth, comment­ ing from the audience, said that all Cook was asking for tained there are also issues with standards for a voting precinct as well. "That is a matter of opin­ ion," shot back Jerkatis. “Again, why do we need a resolution? No discrete plans are presented." History surrounding the township hall improvement issue would suggest other­ wise. At least three plans have been presented, the only plan currently before the board is a plan devised by McCrumb., "It's over two years old," said Lippert of the township hall improvement discussion. McCrumb added that a meeting of a facilities com­ mittee had been held on Dec. 15, 2010, at which time plans were discussed.

VanderMeyden also listed some recommended fixes: Americans with Disabilities Act entrance doors and rest­ rooms, a reception area with adequate work space and waiting room for clients, noise mitigation measures, and an area where confiden­ tiality can be preserved when talking w ith residents or with the township attorney.

In the 1980's, the community room along with a kitchen area, storage space, and a ramp connecting the room to the office section were added. The Grand Rapids Street location preserves continu­ ity, according to Lannes. Originally, the plant had looked at expanding to Eagle Drive. However, when the parcel on Grand Rapids Street became available, it also became the only viable option. Lannes and Bradford White not only expressed this at the meeting, but informed those neighboring the parcel of their motives. The corporation additionally invited those neighbors to a meeting to discuss the rezon­ ing. “They've gone above and beyond what’s required of them." Fleury said. “They've always gone two steps fur­ ther." This includes hiring an independent appraiser who reported that there would be no negative side effects to the plant expanding into that parcel. Property value would not be impacted, according to the appraiser. Of course, citizens take that with a grain of salt, Fleury explained. Some may see that as an appraiser sim­ ply giving Bradford White the answer it wants to hear. A citizen at the meeting, however, made the side com­ ment, “What would happen if Bradford White left?" The concerns that citizens expressed in the meeting fell into three categories: the noise, the lights and the looks. Administrator Zoning Catherine Getty said that the zoning codes are complicat­ ed and multifaceted. The codes have certain buffers in place to protect residences bordering a plant, but she said those buffers change when the zoning changes. The surprising most speaker at the hearing was a young girl. She said the lights from the plant already seep into her bedroom. She said she would be sad it See HEARINGS, pg. 8 In This Issue • GLPA ask for more patrols on Gun Lake • Lowell/Cal skates past Unity, has won three straight • Scots one match short of regional championship • Caledonia boys finish in top half at ski regional �Page 2/The Sun and News.

Two TKMS students compete in regional spelling bee c Thornapple Kellogg Middle School students, sev­ enth grader Jordan Pitmann and eighth grader Sierra Cornett, competed at the Kent Intermediate School District Regional Spelling Bee Wednesday, Feb. 15. The bee was held at the TK Middle School. Pittman’s advancements were stopped by the Hawaiian word “poi.” Cornett advanced for seven rounds and into the final four before falling to the Greek verb “hector.” Holly Holtzclaw of Grand Rapids took the champi­ onship with the correct spelling of “lithe.” This was one of several regional tournaments held across West Michigan. Only 23 students moved on to the Grand Greater Rapids Spelling Bee, which will be March 13 at the Gerald R. Ford Museum. The Scripps Howard National Spelling Bee began in 1925, and the 2012 com­ petitions will involve more than 11 million students at the local level. TK Middle School has hosted a regional bee since the mid-1980s.

His drawing included Americans with Disabilities Act bath­ rooms and private offices for the supervisor, clerk, treasur­ er, assessor, zoning adminis­ trator, and the planning com­ mission; an open work area was located behind the offices. »!• But possible renovations to the hall appear to have dropped off Jhe board's radar until an article appeared in the March 12, 2007 edition of the Sun and News. The article, reported that a com­ bination of heavy snows, a buildup of ice on the roof, and frozen pipes due to a fur­ nace breakdown aggravated crowded working conditions. Then-county commission­ er Mark Englerth, who a building contractor, was asked for a ballpark figure of renovation and costs responded that the township consider a new facility that was energy efficient. The issue then died down until the floor joists in the assessor's office showed def­ inite signs of collapsing under the weight of the files. In a letter dated March 18, 2010, engineer Jonathan Moxey, writing for Fleis and VandenBrink, said the floor joists had suffered compres­ sion damage and were com­ ing undone at connection points. He observed the fix was relatively simple but noted that the township might want to consider addressing additional prob­ lems with heating and venti­ lation, plumbing, and electri­ cal equipment. The floor joists were fixed. The VanderMeyden memo from November 2010 provided an impetus to con­ sideration of the hall's diffi­ culties. McCrumb appointed a seven-member hall renova­ tions committee that also became known as the facili­ ties committee, that first met Dec. 15, 2010 with Robert Czerew of Fleis and VandenBrink Engineering. A second meeting on Jan. 19, 2011 dealt with code and function issues.

HI al is din by Casey C heney Staff Writer Thornapple Thirteen !4 Kellogg High School stu­ dents put their minds to the test last Saturday, when they hosted a Science Olympiad Invitational. Teams from around the state — and even a few from out of state — traveled to Middleville for the competi­ tion, involving 19 schools totaling 29 different teams. Students participate in more than 20 categories, ranging from gravity vehi­ cles to optics to mechanics, astronomy, geology and more. They will typically pair up for a particular event and face off against other pairs. The two-student teams can vary in each category. Alicia Czarnecki and Kayleen Schmid made up one of two teams from Thornapple Kellogg that placed in an event, taking fourth in the Write it. Do it event. Czarnecki explained that in Write it. Do it, one team­ mate is presented with an object made of any assort­ ment of materials. That per­ son (Czarnecki's in this case) has to then write out instruc­ tions for her teammate on how to build it. The team­ mate (Schmid) has not seen the object, and is given only her teammate's instructions and the building materials. Czarnecki was quick to say it's not easy to do. She tries to give Schmid clear directions, using a common objects like the face of a HASTINGS 4 g sJUALITY OEATERS 269-205-4900 Downtown Hastings on State St. GQTI.com and on Facebook ■JE BARGAIN TWILIGHT DAILY 4:00-6:00 PM * eicludos Digital 3D Q No passes (S) Stadium Seating IQ <»• prior Goodrich SHOWTIMES 2/18-2/23 ft 1IMH* ' o© GHOST RIDER: SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE (PG-13) SAT-SUN 12 00. • • 2:20, 4:50, 7:10. 9:40 MON-TH 4:50, 7:10. 9:40 OTHE VOW (PG-13) SAT-SUN 11:40, 2 00, 4 40, 7: .9:20 MON-TH 4:40. 7:00. 9:20 r»'> O STAR WARS: EPISODE 1 - THE PHANTOM MENACE (PG) SAT-SUN 12:30, 3:30. 6:30. 9:30 MON-TH 6:30. 9:30 Q ® JOURNEY 2: THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND (PG) J it« SAT-SUN 11:50. 2:10. 4 30. 6:50, 9 10 MON TH 4 30. 6:50. 9:10 1 1” ■^*3 Vi-" fC r/ * X. ✓ > Members of the TKHS Science Olympiad team include (front row, from left) Fred Mascorro, Jake Brower, Alex Smith, Kayleen Schmid, Luke Foote, and Dustin Moody, (back row) coach Mark Scharpe, William Beilufuss, Alicia Czarnecki, Erik Smendik, Ben Myers, coach Alex Robinson, Nathan Brew, Adam Brew and Noah Kim. j of what would be expected of them before the competi­ tion, but they did not know Alicia Czarnecki (left) and Kayleen Schmid hold their exactly how far they would fourth place ribbons in the “Say it, Do it” category of the be asked to make the car go.

Nathan said the second run was closer, but they weren't quite able to hit that 6.5-meter mark. Nathan is a junior in his third year of Science Olympiad, and Adam is a freshman in his fourth year. They competed together once before in middle school. Erik Smendik and Ben Myers teamed up, their objective was to hit a target using a laser from a fixed point and mirrors to navigate an undisclosed obstacle course. Smendik and Myers were given mirrors to change the Ben Myers and Jake Brower celebrate winning fifth trajectory of their laser, with place in the Chem Lab category of the Thornapple a limited amount of time to Kellogg Science Olympiad Invitational. n clock to add helpful details to the directions. She added that the other teams tease her and Schmid because of their pre-game approach: the “brain sync." Simply, the two stare into each other’s eyes until they feel like’they’re on the same page. Czarnecki acknowledged that it may look goofy, but said with a shrug, “It works." Adam Brothers and Nathan Brew n competed in two events together, one involving a six-by-1 1-inch car they had built. Their challenge: to send their car down a ramp and have it stop after a certain distance. They were given a range get it right. “We were a smidgen off," Myers said, remorsefully. However, both said the event was a good, fun chal­ lenge. Luke Foote and Dustin Moody built a helicopter out of balsa wood. The propel­ lers were fitted with plastic wrap, and the engine was propelled by a rubber band. They didn't win their catego­ ry — their helicopter flew a little too well, hitting the ceiling and dropping to the ground. Thornapple Kellogg did not place at the invitational, but their performance at invi­ tational doesn't factor into the regional competition. They travel to Allendale next week for another invita­ tional, then on to Western Michigan University in three weeks for the regional tour­ nament.

Health department officials say now is a good time to remind everyone how to avoid the flu. Testing has determined that many of the cases being reported are Influenza type A, also known as the season­ al flu. This is one. of the types contained in the flu vaccination. •A If you haven't received a vaccination against the flu this year, nou is a good time to do it. You should note that the vaccination can take about two weeks to become says Cathy effective,” administrative Raevsky. health officer for the Kent County Health Department. “Flu vaccines for children and adults arc safe, and we have plenty of injection and nasal mist available right now. “There are other steps you can take to prevent getting the flu as well as several other viruses Avoid people who are already sick or run­ ning a fever if possible, and if you are sick, stay home, to prevent spreading the illness to others. l]se a tissue to cover your nose and mouth when you cough or sneeze, and toss the tissue in the trash after you use it. Wash your hands often with soap and water, or use hand sani­ tizer. And remember, germs spread when you touch your eyes, nose and mouth.” While everyone should get vaccinated against the flu virus, people at high risk of serious flu complications — young children, pregnant women, people with chronic health conditions such as asthma, diabetes or heart and lung disease and people 65 years and older — should J get vaccinated. Health care workers and those who care for high risk people, should as well. Children under 6 months are too young to be vacci­ nated, she said, so people who care for them should be vaccinated instead. Signs and symptoms of flu include fever or feeling feverish and chills, cough or sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle or body aches, headaches, fatigue, vomiting and diarrhea (more common in children than adults). Not everyone with flu will have a fever, or experience all of the symptoms, she added.

And since these types of benchmarks focus almost exclusively on American companies, you might get the idea that the best investments are located right here in the United State?. But that impression would be false — because there are, literally, a world of investment opportu­ nities beyond the U.S. bor­ ders. In fact, as of the end of 2010, U.S. stock markets constitut­ ed less than a third of the total global stock market value, according to the World Bank. And you can probably just look around at the products you use in your daily life to identify many successful foreign compa- $ VC* ■*« IS nies. Why invest a portion of your portfolio international­ ly? Here are a couple of rea­ sons to consider: • Growth potential — The United States is a mature, highly developed economy. That doesn’t mean, of course, that we have no “upside” here. However, you can also find considerable growth potential in emerging markets — countries such as China, India, Brazil and Mexico that are character­ ized by younger, less mature economies. • Diversification — The world’s financial markets are somewhat dependent on one another, but that doesn't mean they constantly move in unison. In any given year, the U.S. markets may be down, but international mar­ kets might be doing better. Consequently, if during that year, you had invested only in U.S. companies, your Great Rates & Local Servicing « OUR MORTGAGE ADVANTAGES I No application fee, underwriting fee, closing fee.

It’s important to diversi­ »!• fy your portfolio by invest­ ing in many different vehi­ cles, but you can also boost your diversification through geography. (Keep in mind, though, that diversification can’t guarantee a profit or protect against loss.) While international invest­ ing can be beneficial, it does not come without risks. For one thing, when you invest overseas, you may encounter political instability, which could threaten the financial markets of a country or region. Conversely, financial problems, such as the European debt crisis, can result in loss of confidence in individual governments. Also, you might experience currency risk, which means that changes in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies could harm the value of your investments. And in any given year, any market, for­ eign or domestic, may be down. Ultimately, you should probably limit your exposure to international investments to no more than 20% to 25% of your overall portfolio, with the exact amount, if any, depending on your situ­ ation — your goals, risk tol­ erance, time horizon, finan­ cial situation and other fac­ tors. You may also want add an international flavor to your portfolio by investing in quality U.S. companies that do a considerable amount of business abroad. In any case, given the more complex nature of international investing, you’ll want to con­ sult with a financial profes­ sional before writing a check. Still, consider the interna­ tional investment world. With a little exploring, you may discover some good possibilities out there.

That’s one animal about every six and one half seconds. • In 2011. right here in arry County, more than 1.500 dogs and cats were destroyed, simply because there were not enough good homes for them.

Secretary of Slate Ruth Johnson announced Monday. The $431,514 - Electronic Systems Absentee for Elections grant awarded Io the state is for software development that will allow' election officials to electron­ ically create, process and track ballots for all absentee voters. It will also pay for communications to raise awareness of Michigan’s voter registration and absen­ tee ballot options among mil­ itary and overseas voters. Improvements are expect­ ed to be in place in time for presidential November’s election. The grant money will allow the Bureau of Elections to assist between 600 and 8(M) smaller jurisdic­ tions in moving to an elec­ tronic absentee ballot track­ ing system. Johnson said. Those jurisdictions will be able to do away with time­ consuming manual processes and enter absentee voter information directly into the state's Qualified Voter File by computer, which previ- ously was not an option. Voters registered in those jurisdictions will now be able to check the progress of their absentee ballot applica­ tions and the Bureau of Elections will receive absen­ tee ballot data from all local election officials instantly and accurately. Elections staff will have the resources needed to expand outreach to military and overseas voters as a Pennock Physician Network Become a participating member in your health care by choosing the right primary care physician or specialist.

The National Agricultural Classification Survey, which asks landowners whether they are farming and for basic farm information, is one of the most important early steps used to determine who should receive a 2012 Census of Agriculture report form. The Census of Agriculture, conducted every five years by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service, is a com­ plete count of U.S. farms and ranches and the people who operate them. “We are asking everyone who receives the NACS to respond even if they are not farming so that we build the most accurate and compre­ hensive mailing list to account for all of U.S. agri­ culture in the Census,” said NASS Census and Survey Director Renee Picanso. ll The Census is the leading source of facts about American agriculture and the only source of agricultural * statistics that is comparable for each county in the nation. Farm organizations, busi­ nesses, government decision­ makers, commodity market analysts, news media, researchers and others use Census data to inform their work.” NACS is required by law as part of the U.S. Census of Agriculture. By this same law, all information reported by individuals is kept confi­ dential. NASS will mail the 2012 Census of Agriculture later this year, and data will be collected into early 2013. “The NACS survey is the first step in getting a com­ plete count, so we ask every­ one who receives a survey to complete and return it,” said Picanso. “The Census is a valuable way for producers and rural America to show their strength - in numbers.” For more information about NACS, the Census of Agriculture, or to be added to the Census mail list, visit www.agcensus.usda.gov.

Mat®1 February is National Children’s Dental Health Month, and the Barry-Eaton District Health Department wants to encourage families to take care of their dental health. hygiene Good dental habits should begin before a child’s first tooth comes in. Wiping baby’s gums with a soft damp cloth after feed­ ings helps prevent buildup of bacteria. When teeth appear, start using a soft children’s tooth­ brush twice a day. By preschool age, children should start using fluoride toothpaste. Don’t cover the brush with toothpaste; a pea­ sized amount is just right.' Young children tend to swallow most of the toothpaste, and swallowing too much fluoride toothpaste can cause permanent stains on their 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) and drinks a lot of sweet liq­ uids (such as fruit juice, punch, soda and other sweet­ ened drinks). A child also might be at risk if he or she has any of these risk factors: • Was bom 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 practice good dental care. Family members with lots of cavities may pass the cavity-causing bacteria to babies and children. Teeth should be brushed twice a day, and adults should floss once a day. 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 recommends Association that parents take their chil­ dren to a dentist around his or her first birthday. This gives the dentist a chance to look for early problems, The dentist should review important information about diet, bottles, tooth brushing and fluoride use. Visiting the dentist from a young age will help a child become comfort­ able with his or her dentist. It also establishes the good habit of regular dental checkups. The Barry-Eaton District Health Department, in part­ nership with Eaton County and the Michigan Community Dental Clinics, encourages eligible persons to contact the Eaton County Dental Clinic for dental care issues. The target populations served by the clinic are adults and children on Medicaid (including Healthy Kids Dental and MIChild), as well as low-income, unin­ sured individuals whose income is below 200 percent of the federal poverty level. As an example, this would include a single person mak­ ing up to $21,780 or a family of three making up to $37,060. For specific income guidelines, contact a local dental clinic. Non-Medicaid, uninsured clients are offered a reduced fee schedule equivalent to the Delta Dental PPO rates. In order for the uninsured to participate in this plan, they must enroll in the Michigan Community Dental Plan and pay a $50 non-refundable fee. Call the Contact Center, 877-313-6232, or complete an application that can be obtained on MCDC'S web­ site, www.midental.org. This fee entities them to an oral examination, X-rays, treat­ ment plan and reduced rates for all treatment.

Township Supervisor Al McCrumb said Riehl wants the township to enter into a contract with the Barry County Sheriffs Department for the additional patrols because the association, which is a private, nonprofit entity, cannot enter into a contract with the department, a public, taxpayer-funded agency. The GLPA would pay the costs of the patrols; the township would have no liability for the proposed contract. Riehl was not pres­ ent at the meeting due to a scheduling conflict. Vivian Connor, a resident on Blue Lagoon, questioned the need for more patrols on Gun Lake and why the lake association is involved. Trustee Al Schwennesen wanted to know if the sher­ iffs department is planning to reduce patrols on the lake because of budget issues.

The depart­ ment’s liability insurance would provide coverage for the patrols. Clerk Janice Lippert said the proposal will be on the agenda for the March 8 meeting. In other business, while signs have been added at the intersection of Patterson and Bowens - Mill roads, the board is also considering adding a light at the intersec­ tion to help alert motorists. A preliminary estimate of •It about $800 from Great Lakes Energy was deemed too vague; the board directed that a formal proposal for the installation of a sodiumvapor light be sought. McCrumb said he had received a proposal from a company offering to buy the rights to locate cellular antennas on the township water tower for $126,000. Any additional locators on the tower would be negotiat­ ed with the company; the township would have no fur­ ther interest in collocators. Board members, mindful of the $18,000 a year in income received from collocators, decided the proposal did not make financial sense for the township and took no action.

Tommy and sophomore Louis Koepke both gol their first varsity minutes for TK Friday. The Trojan varsity needed the reinforcements with a few guys out with injury and illness. “We were going to bring them up for the postseason, at district time, but seeing as how we didn't have a game on I uesday it seemed like a pretty good time to bring them up and get them in the swing of things.'* said TK head coach Mike Ry nearson. “I told my team, they're going to play. They’re not going to come up and sit. They're going to play. Otherwise, we'd leave them (on the JV) and let them play, We're going to bring them up, let them play a little bit and sec what they give U’s . Tommy Hamilton takes care of the ball, he hit that big triple.” Greg led IK to the big win with 20 points, five assists and five rebounds. That three accounted for all of Tomrm' s points, but he added two assists and didn't turn the ball over. The Trojans also got ten points and nine rebounds from Caden Francisco, and 13 points from Brendon Hudson. DJ Nolff chipped in four points, four assists and five rebounds.

The Scots pushed a 43-28 lead at the start of the fourth quarter to 59-32 with a 16-4 run over the first four minutes of the final period. “In the first half we missed some puppies. I thought we were rebounding the ball, we just had to finish. We could have had a much bigger lead in the first half if we d just finished some of those plays, but we did a better job of that in the second half.” coach Harvey said. “I also thought we did a better job of playing in transition in the second half, which is going to lend itself to us having success. Emily DeVries had a big night for the Scots, finishing with 16 points and seven rebounds off the bench. Caledonia also got 12 points from Reyni Harvey, and 1 I points and eight assists from Lexi Miller. The Scots had JI assists as a team.

The starting weight class made it seem like it was the Buccaneers who were try ing to come from behind all night long, but the Fighting Scots knew they were the ones trying to steal a couple extra points someplace. Smith and Schutt battled to overtime at last Saturday’s Individual District Tournament, with Smith pulling out a 3-1 win, and that was one of a handful of weight classes where the Scots were hoping to be able to pull off a little bit of an upset Wednesday. Grand Haven forfeited the 112-pound weight class to Caledonia to start Wednesday night’s Regional Final. The Scots look those points and kept adding to them, eventually pulling in front 26-9 with six weight classes remaining. The Buccaneers won five of those final six matches. getting three pins in the run. to knock off the Fighting Scots who advanced to a Division I regional for the first time this year. Our kids really wrestled hard.’’ said Caledonia head coach Shawn Veitch, We knew it was an uphill chal­ lenge. I scored it 33-30 before the dual. We had to make one match happen We knew we had to make one up. We had a couple close ones.” Both teams won seven weight classes, but the Scots only pin came at 145 pounds where Brad Orszula stuck Luke Averill. A locked hands penalty against Averill in the second period allowed Orszula to lake a chance on the bottom, and he made the most of it - spinning to the top position and eventually putting Averill on his shoul­ ders 3 minutes into the match. Caledonia then grew its lead to 26-9 with Garrett Hubbell holding on for an 87 win in the 152-pound match Grand against Havens Abraham Westerman. I hat’s when the Grand Haven rally began. Dakota Juarez scored a 21-7 major decision over the Scots’ Jon Hubbell at 160 pounds, then the Buccaneers got a quick pin from Connor Moynihan at 171. Joel Wenk slowed Grand Haven’s charge by topping Garrett Kelly 5-1 in the 215pound match, putting the Scots up 29-22 with two matches left.

There is a bit of a shock factor when you fist see the scores and it appears to be lower than in the past,” said Assistant Superintendent Tom Enslen. For example, in third grade reading in 2010, the districted reported 96 percent of students reached profi­ cient or advanced levels. In 2011, the number is only 79 percent. But Enslen cautions it's not because students scored poorer on the test - simply that standards, or what are called cut scores, were raised making it more difficult to reach those proficiency and advanced levels. Many students who were considered proficient with past scores, no longer meet the level, instead falling into the partially proficient cate­ gory. Overall, TK students still scored above state averages at every grade level and every subject. The same is true for TK scores compared to Kent Intermediate School District averages, with the exception of fourth grade math. “The real number to look at is the raw score that is a better measure of real growth. The MEAP is one test. We are trying to look at more assessments to better define a students’ abilities,” said Enslen. The MEAP will be phased out in the next two years with schools moving to a new stu­ dent assessment method that 'is supposed to better look at the students’ overall abilities, growth, and college and career readiness. Some parents in the dis­ trict may already be seeing MEAP scores for their stu­ dents, while other reports will be sent home with report cards in mid-March. The MEAP scores are accompa­ nied this year by a letter from explaining Enslen the changes and how parents should view the results. There will also be a graph showing TK results com­ pared to previous years, the state and KISD. “The real news is that we continue to show growth in almost all scores and we will continue to make strides to improve at all levels,” said superintendent Gary Rider. Our long range plan is to use assessments that more accurately reflect overall growth and not just one score on one test,” said Rider. Enslen said administrators and teachers will analyze the scores and make curriculum adjustments to best help stu­ dents. Rider encourages parents to ask questions about the MEAP scores, but also not to get too concerned. “Ask questions, understand that growth is taking place. Talk to ;your school principals to understand the scores better. The bottom line is that class­ room teachers are still doing a great job teaching TK kids. Students are getting a good education at TK,” said Rider. 41 the village regarding partici ­ For the long term.

He said that the Northwest Sewer District is capable of generating 1.2 million gallons of sewage a day. If a contract is signed with Grand Rapids, the township will have to construct approximately 2,350 feet of sewer main under M-6 to connect with infrastructure in Gaines Township and thence to the Grand Rapids plant. The cost of the project is currently estimated at $300,000 as opposed to up to $1.5 million to expand and •II update the village plant. The possibility of a con­ tract for 1.2 million gallons a day may be attractive to Grand Rapids because there is unused capacity in its sys­ tem following the decision of some communities to form a separate district and build a plant.

Participants have come together as teams, with one or more team member pledg­ ing to shave his or her head, in exchange for donations for St. Baldrick’s Foundation. Teams have until the March 15 event to raise money. Worldwide, more than 160,000 children are diag­ nosed with cancer each year, and it remains the leading cause of death by disease among children in the United States. With only 4 percent of all federal cancer research funding dedicated to pedi­ atric cancer research, St. Baldrick’s Foundation grant funds are critical to continue the battle against this devas­ tating disease. “With one year under our belt, now is the time to step up and do some really big things to give back,” said Carter Paver, director of marketing for Gun Lake Casino. “We came across this opportunity to help out a great cause, get the commu­ nity involved and have a lit- tie bit of fun in the process. We’re very excited to host this event.” To get involved, visit www.stbaldricks.org/events/ gunlakecasino and sign up a team or donate to the cause. At the March 15 event, all shavees will have their locks buzzed down, compliments of local barbers. The event, from 6 to 9 p.m., will feature live music, entertainment of watching several members of the West Michigan community shav­ ing down their heads, along with food and drink specials.

The Grand Rapids con­ tract is essentially the same in its provisions for all its •It customers; the city does not customize its contract to suit the preferences of its cus­ tomers. Christian said major points in favor of the con­ tract are that the growth will come from commercial activity, the township will continue to be able to charge connection fees, and, as a wholesale purchaser of serv­ ices, will be able to control the billing function— the township would retain con­ trol of the ability to set rates for sewer service. In the ensuing discussion, Trustee Don Koopmans wondered if it would not make sense for the township to build its own industrial e strength treatment plant. Christian said that [at the end of the contract]; the township could evaluate that choice. Koopmans said that the easiest course is not always the best. “Why did Rockford and the others leave and build their own plant?” he asked. Trustee Dale Hermenet •It said he was concerned about growth. Robertson said that divert­ ing the sewage to Grand Rapids would also free capacity for the village and allows it to avoid its share of the costs of expanding the plant. During the final board comment period, Robertson said that refunding the exist­ ing sewer bonds did not make sense. Trustee Dale Hermenet said he was concerned about in. treating people fairly. Trustee Rick Snoeyink said the Caledonia Farmers' Market would open in mid­ May and run through the last Saturday in October.

During the meeting mem­ bers of the committee also toured the basement under the office and inspected the floor joists and toured the •It area proposed for an addition to provide a new office for the assessor. Supervisor Al McCrumb convened the facilities com­ mittee Monday, Feb. 20 in the community room of the township hall at 284 North Briggs Road. All the mem­ bers, with the exception of clerk Janice Lippert, who was ill, were present as was Robert Cerewecz, engineer, Fleis and VandenBrink. Marge VanderMeyden, deputy township clerk, agreed to act as secretary for the committee. McCrumb referred to a memo detailing the build­ ing's deficiencies such as the floor in the assessor’s office, . the lack of security in the office area, and mold in the walls. John Jerkatis, town­ ship treasurer, said he want­ ed the minutes of the previ­ ous meetings of the commit­ tee and he noted that the mold had been cured by painting the walls. Robert Lippert, township zoning administrator, said the mold was still on the inside of the walls and the floor in his office rocks. Cerewecz explained how the plans submitted by his firm had originated and how they were intended to be phased.

Discussion focused on neighborhood usage of fire­ works by unlicensed individ­ uals and is viewed by the commission as * a law enforcement issue. Complaints should be made to the Barry County Sheriffs Department. Accessory buildings were discussed. The questions posed by commission chair Frank Fiala were; should more than one accessory building be allowed on a lot? How large a building should be allowed? The consensus of the com­ mission was to allow addi­ tional accessory buildings provided setbacks could be observed— if there is enough room, let it be built. Revising the sign ordi­ nance led to a discussion of the origins of zoning in Yankee Springs Township. by Fran Faverman Staff Writer TO ss KN1 ■ 'iKl Ak 1 N* k I s Iki 'I • >.:1 The Yankee Springs Township Planning Commission faced had a short agenda for its latest meetings Despite the interest, in other communities in allow­ ing residents to raise chick­ ens and possibly other small domestic animals in areas where land is zoned for resi­ dential rather than agricultur­ al uses, the Yankee Springs Township Planning Commission does not fore­ see any challenges to the cur­ rent ordinance requiring a minimum lot size of two acres. Planner Greg Milliken said he does not think the provisions of the Michigan Right to Farm Act can be used to challenge the ordi­ nance. A continuing issue in the township is the presence of trailers in the Gun Lake Corridor Overlay District; the issue is the mixture of a residential use in a commer­ cial district and does that qualify as mixed use. Sale of fireworks, which has been expanded by recent changes to state, law, allows persons selling fireworks to The idea of local zoning became popular when there was increasing discontent with the recommendations of the Barry' County Planning and Zoning Commission. At that point residents said they wanted protection from trail­ er parks multiplying around Gun Lake and local zoning was approved in 1972. Fiala said that there is a current of support for turning planning and zoning functions back to the county said that he felt the planning function has become discon­ nected from the community. Drawing a line with the opposites of no control — major or total control at each end, he marked off space in the middle, saying that he felt there was room for an approach to the middle. Referring to the sign ordi­ nance he said that enforce­ ment was always a tough job. Commissioner Michael Cunningham said he did not know how tough a job it was until he joined the Planning Commission.

Commissioner Greg Gres Purcell said he was opposed to total control but favored an approach about threefourths along the continuum. He said that he remembers hot issues. "These days the problem is that your control is making it hard for us." he said, adding that he felt there is a need to encourage a climate of being in it together, all are public relations agents for the township, and we need development. Shane VandenBerg, a res­ ident, said that part of the problem is the same people have been on boards for too long. "Maybe we should have term limits. Nothing is easy from government.

Steve Johnson met Nathan in Nov. 2010 while on a church mission trip and developed a bond that has changed his life forever. Through nine years of mar­ riage, the Johnsons — and especially Steve — were res­ olute in their intent to never have children. That changed when Steve met Nathan, a deaf and mute child who also needed crutches to deal with leg dis­ abilities. When Steve learned from the local pastor that S’ * f * • - - J - Nathan's condition stood very little chance of being addressed in Liberia, Steve was brought to tears — and to a new resolution. With Abigail’s own love and blessing, the Johnsons began the process of adop­ tion and now, after having spent nearly $12,000 from their own .•It cket, still need another $12,000 to bring Nathan home. Like the call that Steve felt, The Caledonia Hair Company was drawn to the story and, with the March 3 fundraiser will become a part of the mission. “One-hundred percent of the proceeds will be going to the Johnsons," said Amanda DeZwaan, of the Caledonia Hair Company. “We are very excited to help them." 1 J When Steve Johnson was told during a church mission trip to Liberia that Nathan’s special needs stood little chance of being addressed he and wife Abigail began the process of adoption. A March 5 the fundraiser at Caledonia Hair Company will help in that endeavor. * Lee Elementary students raise money for heart association il •y i Lt " Earlier this month, Lee Elementary students once again spent a day jumping rope and raising funds for the. American Heart Association. This is the 16th year Lee and contributions from the community, students raised $27,761. For the past four years, Lee has led the state in the amount of funds raised. All students, from beginners to advanced, had opportunities to participate and jump rope at various times throughout the day. This event wouldn't be the way it is without the community of Middleville. The community should be very proud of what they do for the American Heart Association year after year. We have great support every year no matter what," said Desy. . She said the event ties in with physical education lessons for students about caring for their bodies and strengthening their muscles, including the most important muscle- the heart. “We just start at an early age teaching them the impor­ tance of being physically active and fit. We start work­ ing on our hearts from the day they walk into this gym and we don't stop,” said Desy. Desy said she looks for­ ward to the event every year because of the community involvement and support. “It’s such a wonderful community activity for the students and families and community," she said. Elementary physical educa­ tion teacher Joanne Desy has coordinated the Jump Rope for Heart event raising funds for the American Heart Association.

Officers noticed the man’s knuckles were bleeding. The 21-yearold Middleville man said he had been punching his “turn signal”, but that he was not the one causing problems in the bar. Witnesses said the man had been escorted from the bar and he had struck one of the bar staff. After failing a preliminary breath test, he was arrested.

Instead of taking their shots on the ice, 21 two-person braved the cold weather to play nine holes on the minia­ ture golf, and then moved to an open area to chip in to objects used at Camp Algonquin (see related story). “Many of the players com­ mented they loved the new golf scramble venue with the camp objects to hit in to,” said Barry County YMCA Director Tom Wilt, who himself had somewhat of a scramble when he and others decided the Ice Tee contest would go on, without the ice. “Everyone enjoyed them­ selves, with some suggesting when the event returns to the ice that the objects should be used again,” reported Wilt. The ice fishing contest — more of just a fishing contest — had a family of winners. The adult first place winner for pike and crappie was Craig Bashore. In the chil­ dren’s division, taking first place for perch was Hannah Bashore. First place for crap­ pie went to Halley Bashore, and second place crappie was won by Holley Bashore. Most events that make up Gun Lake Winterfest went on with few changes and plenty of success. The Orangeville Fire Department’s pancake breakfast at the township hall drew more than 160 diners and raised $765. That money will go to the department’s goal of $2,500 to add a full restaurant-style kitchen to the fire station. The GFWC - Gun Lake area women’s club held at bake sale during the break­ fast. Over at the state park at Deep Lake, more than 40 people joined the Snow Stomp, running the four-mile trail through the woods. The Gun Lake Tribe con­ ducted opening ceremonies at the Allegan State Park, the site of many other events, such as the Jail,' games, pet- ting zoo, food vendors, swimsuit fashion show and polar dip.

Each topic is out of today's headlines. Week 1 was Middle East realignment which the Arab world has coined “the awakening” or “the renaissance;” Week 2, promoting democracy con­ centrated on the impact new democracies may have on American interests; Week 3, Mexico focused on the war on drugs and policies on migration; and Week 4, Staff Writer Weekdays from 2 to 4 p.m. a dozen citizens under the direction of facilatator Eileen Oehler have been dis­ cussing topics from around the world. In 2011 three dictators have fallen — Tunisia’s Zine al-AIbidine Ben Ali, Egypt’s Hosin Mubarak and Libya’s Muammar Qadhafi. What does this mean for the United States? For the world?

Future sessions scheduled are Exit from Afghanistan and Iraq; the State of the Oceans; Indonesia; and Natural Gas Revolution, Energy Geopolitics. Participants prepare by reading the text from the Great Decisions 2012 Edition before class. Each week begins with discussion, followed by a video presen­ tation related to the topic, and ends with questions from the text. Conversations are lively, with everyone partici­ pating. “Compare the different U.S. responses to protests in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Syria, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Yemen,” suggests the text that accompanies the course. “Why has the U.S. response FARM BUREAU INSURANCE Jason Parks Democracy has become the predominant form of govern­ ment in all of Europe, as well as in Latin America, and has a substantial presence in Africa and Asia.” A question posed for discussion was, Democracies now enjoy a majority, and the ‘Arab Spring’ has demonstrated that indige­ nous democracy movements can achieve success asainst ----entrenched regimes. In the future, do you see democra­ cy promotion as a U.S. inter­ est that will grow or decline in relevance? Do democratic movements have more legiti­ macy if they succeed without intervention?” Without intervention was the battle cry of the 12 par­ ticipants. A general consen­ sus is for the United States to back out, let nations govern 64 themselves and stop sell in ae ammunition to the world. Mexico's war on drugs is largely propagated by the U.S. demand for the illegal substances. “Legalize marijuana and tax the sales,” rang a chorus from the class, “and pay down the debt with the tax dollars raised.” From fallen dictatorships to legalizing marijuana, from the use of drones by the mil­ itary to migrations from Mexico and cybercrime.

The LC boys have already wrapped up the conference title though. LC scored five goals in the Bit to secure a 9-4 third period victory over visiting Grand Rapids Christian Saturday in LC’s “Purple Game”. “This was an important game in the conference for our team, and at the same •IB time an important game for the community,” said LC - head coach Tim Beurer. The Purple Game was the brain child of LC players Justin Pinto and Andrew Light. Proceeds from the fundraiser, which totaled $8,500 as of last weekend, go to help fund cancer J research at the Van Andel Institute. •It Players from both teams wore jerseys with someone else’s name on them in order to honor that person who is battling cancer in their everyday life. At the conclu­ sion of the game, each player presented the game worn jer­ sey to the person they were skating for. “It goes without saying how proud I am of my team,’’ Beurer said. “They worked hard and were determined to get that win on this special night at the Kentwood Ice Arena. The atmosphere was perfect for a game like this. The stands were filled with people, along with the num­ ber of people standing around the ice surface to watch the game. “It was a win-win situa­ tion for LC hockey and the Van Andel Institute.” Bailey Rietman scored a minute into the contest, get­ ting assists from Collin Finkhouse and Eric Balut, to give the LC team a lead which they would hold throughout the entire Grand Rapids L. evening. Christian didn’t make it easy • on them though. Rietman’s goal was the only one scored in the first period. •I! LC would build a 4-1 BI« but lead in the second period, saw that cut to 4-3 heading into the third. “During the second inter­ mission, I reminded the play­ ers what was at stake in this game and to control their emotions. We were playing good hockey. However, we had to continue to work on the little things that make us successful,” Beurer said. LC responded in the third period, scoring five straight goals. The string started about three minutes in, as •IB Kyle Jansens scored off an assist from Cam Steger. McGillicuddy, •raden Rietman, Finkhouse and Jake Rossman finished off the run with goals for LC. with Rossman, Light, Balut, Pinto, Steger notching assists during that stretch. Colin Rossman, Echelbarger and Steger scored the second-period goals for LC, with assists going to Pinto (2) and Jake Roetman. piay •IB LC opens postseason Tuesday, taking on the Grand Rapids Public Schools (Creston) team at 6 p.m. at Kentw BIBI«1 Ice Arena in the first of two Division 1 PreRegional Semifinals. Northview’ takes on East Kentwood in the night cap. The winners of those two contests meet up Thursday at 6 p.m. in Kentwood.

M-43 Highway, Hastings, Ml 49058 137th year Middleville council approves five-year recreation plan by Julie Makarewicz Staff Writer With a five-year commu­ nity recreation plan, Thomapple Area Parks and Recreation will be positioned in the future to seek grants and other funding sources to support programs and facili­ ties. The plan, approved by the village of Middleville this week, must also be approved by the Thomapple Kellogg Board Education, of Thornapple Township and Thornapple Area Parks and Recreation Commission. The plan is to serve as a guideline of possible projects and improvements the community might make in.the future to enhance and expand recre­ ational opportunities. Goals and ideas estab­ lished in the plan were creat­ ed after community vision­ ing and planning sessions. Nothing in the plan is set in stone, and any projects will still have to fully be consid­ ered by the TAPRC before implementation, depending largely on funding available. Community focus groups looked at three general areas: trails, facilities and pro­ grams. Several needs and wants were identified in each area, and possible phasing of projects was determined. Village Manager Rebecca Fleury reminded village iW yiin noffl xft ni o bne xjquz .201) dT xslliv ft ’(d rtfioEI no/IT norfT i nslq q to znqmi im yt Ina oi :noii£ oD >origil te bo tftoM onoP.

It’s nice to have dreams at least identified, even if we never complete them. If funding comes along, at least we may be eligible," said TAPRC program director Catherine Getty, “You are not committed to anything with this five-year plan. Each individual project would have to come back for consideration before betore we could spend any money,” Getty said. Council members Sue Reyff and Joyce Lutz voted against the plan. Lutz said she didn't feel she had enough time to adequately review the multi-page plan. Reyff was concerned about funding any projects at this time. ■ Some of the possible proj­ ects identified in the plan include; • Extension of the Paul Henry Thornapple Trail north to connect with Caledonia and south to con­ nect with Hastings. • Improvements to Calvin Hill Park, including rest­ rooms, skate park, outdoor lighting, play equipment, basketball court and parking. • Conducting an environ- mental study of the grounds at the Crane Road ball fields. • Developing a new ball field complex with a site yet to be determined or make improvements to Crane Road fields. Riverside • Improving Park with a boat launch and paring and remove concrete river debris. • Developing River Tail loop and Mill Pond trail loop with fishing platforms and birding scopes. • Developing an ice skat­ ing facility possibly at Lions Sesquicentennial Park. • Developing Wildwood Trails Park with disc golf, cross-country skiing, paved walking trails, parking, rest­ rooms, pavilion and addi­ tional facilities. • Developing designated non-motor routes through the community. • Adding lights to school tennis courts. • Improving Lions Spring Park, including restrooms, disc golf and nature trails. • Developing a trailhead staging area for the Paul Henry Thomapple Trail. Additionally, in visioning sessions, citizens suggested long-term consideration of a multi-use community center and coordinating program­ ming with the YMCA and other agencies.

The policy that was reviewed intensively in pre­ vious board workshop ses­ sions explicitly defines bul­ lying, harassment, aggres­ sive behavior, and other unacceptable activities while outlining courses of action required of district faculty and staff at all levels. The policy meets the require­ ments of the anti-bullying law signed by Governor Rick Snyder. District Superintendent Jerry Phillips, commenting •!• on the responsibility of dis­ trict employees, said, “You are only guilty if you don’t act and then turn your back on it. This law says we have to take action.” “I’m concerned about cyber-bullying,” said board member Mary Anne Timmer Phillips responded, “We do take things down. It is a far reach.” In other conversations, the Sun and News has explored with Phillips the ability of a school district to intervene when a student uses private­ ly owned equipment and a personal account to denigrate or otherwise abuse another student, who feels the ability to take advantage of the edu­ cational opportunities offered by the district is neg­ atively impacted by the event. He said it his view that this is a gray area. The district has experi­ enced success in getting the offending comments removed according to Jim Glazier, the principal of Caledonia High School. “Social media is a chal­ lenge for everybody. It hap­ pens at companies," said Mike Patterson, the president »!• of the board. “We want to work with the community." The policy was adopted on a 6-0 vote; board member Mike LoMonaco was absent. Phillips rose to read a proclamation from Snyder recognizing February to be National Administrators Month in Michigan. Snyder said K-12 administrators play a vital role in the suc­ cess of students and act as the liaison between the school and the community it serves, ensuring that parents and taxpayers are aware of student and school achieve­ ments. Noting that only a few administrators were present, Phillips assured the audience that they were all engaged in school activities. “We have kindergarten roundup going on tonight; fit we have a boys basketball game, and we have a hockey tournament also," he said. Gifts were presented to Jim Crites, assistant princi­ pal, Caledonia High School; Cary Stamas, principal, Kraft Meadows Middle School, Ryan Graham, principal, Duncan Lake Middle School; Mimi Mahaney, director of food service oper­ ations; Gary Delger, director •1 of operations; Sam Wright, director of finance; and to Phillips, who said the gifts were funded from a grant from the Coca-Cola revenue contract. The board also adopted a •It schools of choice policy for the 2012-13 school year. According to Phillips adopt­ ing a policy opening schools of choice to students in con­ tiguous intermediate school districts and adopting a poli­ cy allowing places in the Caledonia district to be available to students from other Kent County school districts is partially a result of the funding requirements of the best practices required funding will be reduced to 2005 levels. In short districts will be asked to absQrb a $470 cut in funding. “It is not acceptable that we get less when the state assessment for the retirement fund will increase by three percent." he said. “The requirements have increased “It is not acceptable but the funding has gone that we get less down.” ' when the state Phillips said that a particu­ lar concern to him is the leg­ assessment for islation allowing cyber­ the retirement fund schools; such schools are will increase by currently poised to receive three percent. the same per pupil grant as The requirements brick-and-mortar facilities have increased but have a much lower cost of instruction.

Village Council President Charlie Pullen and council member Shannon Endsley abstained from the rezoning vote since they both work at Bradford White. Lannes said in order for Bradford White to comply with new federal regulations, the company must undergo a complete retooling of how projects are produced. Plans for the four-acre site are to level and pave the site, allowing trailer parking and storage to be relocated. Property now used for trailer parking can instead be used for facility expansion. “We will be up against a very tight timeline to meet these regulations,” said Lannes, who added that expects to have site plans ready for village review next week. Village Manager Rebecca Fleury said a site plan review committee will consider the plans and citizens will have opportunities for continued input. j? “ Jv k * .'A. v ™ SB I< 5* (K X n I « Nt *!

But it’s like you’re throwing a temper tantrum and threatening to move out to get your way.” Allison LeRoy Valerie Byrnes with the Barry County Economic Development Alliance said Bradford White is looking at this expansion from a business standpoint and that keeping the company in Middleville is a very legiti­ mate concern. She reminded residents and the planning commission that all over Michigan companies are moving out, finding new locations and leaving areas without workers, communi­ ties without great sources of income.

But you should also know when it's time to sell an investment — and why. Unfortunately, many peo­ ple sell investments for the wrong reasons. Some people want the money to purchase so-called “hot” investments, even if these new invest­ ments aren’t appropriate for their needs. Others own investments that have lost value, and fearing further losses, they decide to sell — thereby violating the oldest rule of investing: "Buy low and sell high.” These types of behavior can lead to at least two major problems. First, if you're constantly selling invest­ ments, you’ll likely incur fees, commissions and taxes that can erode any returns. ■ 11 B 'l ’ 'v iS § ** 5;, fl" *?*■ Hi t JI YOU PUTTHEM IN A SAFE PLACE.

BOYSEN, Thomapple Township Supervisor 06773775 Showcasing the DNR There’s an old saying among anglers — “Weather trumps all” — that had to be on the minds of participants in last week’s Michigan Department of Natural Resources Winter Free Fishing Weekend events in the southern part of the state. What happens when organizers have planned an ice fishing event but don’t have any ice? Fortunately, DNR staffers, volunteers and clubs, who put together the free fishing festivities, had contingency plans. And while the events might not have come off exactly as hoped, plenty of folks — especially young­ sters — showed up at the events. Bay City State Recreation Area has held its annual win­ ter festival since before free winter fishing weekend began, and ice fishing has always been one of the activ­ ities. This year’s event drew more than 500 people and children did get to fish through the ice — but not on • It. Youngsters arriving at the Saginaw Bay Visitor’s Center were ushered through a 12-station tutorial on ice fishing that included build­ ing a wooden ice fishing rod, selecting a jig (and painting it, if they so chose), learning a knot and then tying on their lures, identifying fish (and which ones to eat) and attending an ice fishing tips and tricks lesson. But the last station — ice fishing safety, conducted by the U.S. Coast Guard — included some advice about determining whether the ice is safe. Among those tips: Be careful around ice that is discolored or slushy near the shore line. That was exactly the situa- IRVING TOWNSHIP BOARD OF REVIEW The 2012 Board of Review for Irving Township will meet as follows: • Tuesday, March 6th at 5:00PM, Organization Meeting • Monday, March 12th from 9:00AM - 5:00PM • Tuesday, March 13th from 2:00PM - 9:00PM Written appeals will be accepted by March 13th or postmarked by March 9th, 2012. jt li ,6 raw ■ * A Ratio Real Property Multiplier Residential Agricultural Commercial Industrial Timber-Cutover Developmental 49.80% 50.69% 59.94% 59.47% None in Class None in Class 1.0040 0.9864 0.8630 0.8408 <1«’1 F ■ ■< ■A* Tv A couple of young visitors build their own rods at Bay City State Recreation Area.

Though the ice would sup­ port anglers, Bay City Recreation Area park inter­ preter Valerie Blaschka said they didn't want to give the kids the impression that they should ignore the advice they’d just been given. Instead, volunteers augered holes through the ice alongside the fishing dock:on the pond, which allowed youngsters to stay high and dry but still gqt in some ice fishing. Don Watz, a 77year-old volunteer was rep­ resenting the Bay City Walleye Club, which he has done for the past 15 years at this event, said he was delighted to help out, even under adverse conditions, 41 You've got to get the kids involved,” he said, as he scooped slush from the holes the youngsters fished. Unfortunately, the fish didn’t get the memo. Fishing was tough. But Watz said he’s seen that same thing happen when conditions were good. And the fact that the kids were able to experi­ ence ice fishing was a plus, Blaschka said. “We had one year when it was 62 degrees,” she said. “We had the kids using Zebcos, fishing from the dock that winter.” On the plus side, a fresh blanket of snow allowed some of the other activities — snowshoeing and a sled dog demonstration — to go on as planned.

The 54 people who attend­ ed the event at Sleepy Hollow State Park in Laingsburg found mostly open water on Lake Ovid, but, DNR Fisheries Division’s Elyse Walter made sure the youngsters had something to fish for. Walter set up a “Backyard » lass” area on the grass out­ side the shelter at the beach where youngsters could cast — with rods outfitted with bobbers or practice plugs — at plastic fish that were scat­ tered across the grounds. The fish resembled slippers with a slot in the top so young­ sters could drag their “bait" across the fish, have the line slide into the slot, and reel in a fish. No, the backyard bass didn’t put up much of a fight. A I 11 r 1 7-! a * I fifes A young angler hauls in a “backyard bass” at Sleepy Hollow State Park.

World champion ice fish­ erman Mike Boedeker of Lansing, freshly back from competing in a contest in Kazakhstan, set up a display that showed the differences in tackle used by American ice fishermen and Europeans. When anglers saw the minia­ ture rods the Europeans use — suited for the tiny fish they pursue — it became obvious that Michigan is a recreation­ al angling hot spot. Although ice fishing was tough in the southern part of the state, events to the north went much more smoothly. At the McDonald Lake Ice Fishing Derby in Gulliver (Schoolcraft County), 244 adults and 108 youngsters participated in the contest. “It was a great time," said event treasurer B.G.

Whitney wasn’t the only one crying. “It’s like you have 22 kids, and all year they work so hard,” said TK head coach Abby Kanitz. “Everybody here works hard, but you want it more for your kids than for anybody else. Man, they’ve worked hard.” The tears and cheers con­ tinued to build until TK was finally announced as the third-place team, finishing behind only regional cham­ pion DeWitt and runner-up Byron Center at the 12-team event. TK’s leaguemates from Hastings also had a very good day, placing sixth. The Trojans don’t talk about scores during the com­ petition, but anyone who was paying attention knew the Trojans were fifth after round one, and that’ they'd fallen to seventh heading into round three. .

We work really hard at making sure all the little things go good.” But once the round started one little thing went wrong. One of the Trojan stunt groups had a fall. “We had a fall, but they're not falling without a fight. That’s what it's all about. They get right back in it. It doesn't ruin the rest of the cheer for them. They know they still have a job to do," said Kanitz. TK still managed the highest round three score of the day, a 315. That combined with a 219.8 in round one and a 217.6960 in round two gave the Trojans a total score of 752.4960. “We practiced really hard on all the little things, per­ fecting everything. We stay positive,” Whitney said. “We support each other, and we’re always positive together. If something goes wrong we just keep our heads in the game and we keep going.” DeWitt earned the region­ al trophy with a total score of 764.4076. The Panthers had the top round one and two scores, a 225.1 and a 234.9076, and then added a 304.4 in round three.

The Scots only got 25 free throw attempts all game, and unfortunately for them only knocked down 15 of those. “I’ve never had a team play with as much heart as we played with coming down the stretch," coach Harvey said. “They just refused to give in. They reached a point where it was do or die and they decided to do. I'm proud of the kids. The game came down to missed opportunities. The game came down to missing the free throws at the end, but we can point to 15 for 25 from the free throw line. Everybody always likes to point at the last one, but there were several opportu­ nities - missed shots, missed free throws throughout the game, missed put-backs that probably would have put us in a position to not be in that position.” Reyni Harvey had a chance to put her team up three with 9.5 seconds left in the first overtime, but missed both attempts, “Unfortunately I'm sitting there watching my kid miss two free throws and the whole time I'm thinking I did that in high school also,” said coach Harvey. “1 lost a basketball game, I missed two free throws.” All the Scots had highs and lows. “We wouldn't even be in thpt position if she had not been on the front of that press ‘ wreaking havoc and getting steals and that kind of thing, ” said coach Harvey.

West Ottawa tied the game at 1-1 with a power ?lay, goal ?m i- Reece I mripmann with i Lindemann with just eight tenths of a second left in the first period. The Panthers then took a 2-1 lead 2:06 into the second period on a goal by Matrosic. That lead lasted for just over a minute as Balut scored for LC to tie the game back up at the 3:14 mark. LC also scored a 3-1 win over Mattawan in non-conference action last Friday (Feb. 25). LC goalie Ben Smith stopped all ten shots he faced in the first two periods of a scoreless game, while LC was firing 17 shots at the other end. The shooters found some more holes in the third period, with Mattawan scoring first, but LC answered on the very next shit with a goal by Colin Echelbarger. Echelbarger eventually added a second goal, and Steger scored on the power play for LC. Assists went to Finkhouse and McGillicuddy on those final two goals.

The district is accepting applications through March 30 with the intent of offering the job to someone in May and having someone starting in the position by July I. •It The district hired North Star Staffing Inc. to assist with the search, including soliciting and advertising for candidates.

The board of education plans to screen applications April 12 and narrow the field for interviews that will take place the week of April 1620. Second round interviews will follow tentatively on April 23 and 24. Young said earlier that he anticipates the district will get between 15 and 22 candi­ dates. He said at an earlier community forum that TK is a good district with a lot of good things happening that will draw a lot of attention to interested candidates. Community members said they want a superintendent who is a good communica­ tor, has a strong moral com­ pass, can work collaborative­ ly with other districts, and has a passion for education. Gary Superintendent Rider told board •It members late in 20 ll that he would retire at the end of this school year after having served five years with the district. Board members said they especially appreciated the early notifi­ cation giving the district plenty of time to conduct a thorough and adequate search for the next person to lead the district. Village official donates land V by Julie Makarewicz Staff Writer Village Middleville members Council are expected to accept a dona­ tion of 15 acres of property for parks and recreational use. The land is along Mill Pond with the only access point to the property being from the Paul Henry Trail. Catherine Getty, who cur­ rently serves as the village zoning administrator and the Thornapple Area Parks and Recreation program direc­ tor, is offering the land M iijoD sqxa noil I lot .32U rtT bnoM inioq moil saD rrinos iwoilT awfl i .101 bY donation. The property is land­ locked and nearly surround­ ed by water. The village has identified the property as a potential area for a board­ walk , trail, and fishing sta­ tions. Council members will formally consider the dona­ tion at their 7 p.m. council meeting March 13. In other business at that meeting, council members may continue discussions about a single waste hauler contract for the village. The current contract expires Dec. 31,2012. There has been consider-! able debate among village •It residents and officials about whether having one hauler for the entire village is right. Council members can decide to extend the current con­ tract with Republic Services for another two years or may seek to go out for bids again for another single waste hauler for the village. Council members instructed the village man­ ager to collect more infor­ mation as they continue studying the issue. Yankee Springs facilities committee back to Square One? 03 by Fran Faverman d Staff Writer The second meeting of the Yankee Springs Township Facilities Committee began Monday evening in an order­ ly fashion with the typical opening items: call to order, roll call, and approval of the minutes of the previous meeting. All nine members were present plus Robert Czerew, architect, and Dan DeVries, engineer, from VandenBrink Fleis and Engineering. However, the next agenda item, a review of bills from the engineering firm, pro­ voked immediate disagree­ ment beginning with exactly what was being reviewed. Two numbers were men­ tioned, $36,000 and $28,000.

Clerk Janice Lippert agreed to sort out the invoices from the firm so that the commit­ tee would know which invoices represented costs related to the proposed reno­ vation. The newly constituted facilities committee has been charged with addressing the long-standing, and long-dis­ cussed issues associated with the proposed renovation of the township hall. Officially before the committee Monday were three propos­ als. The first was a proposal submitted by Treasurer John Jerkatis in 2002, the second was a scaled-down version of an alternative plan submit­ ted by Fleis and I as VandenBrink (Plan amended), and the third was a proposal submitted buunmivu by Supervisor Al McCrumb in August of 20I I. According to Monday's agenda, the committee was to determine what each pro­ posal achieved, what each would cost, what the options were, and what decisions needed to be made. The com­ mittee never got there. According to the draft minutes of the Monday meeting prepared by com­ mittee secretary Marge VanderMeyden, Fleis and VandenBrink had brought to the meeting proposed pre­ liminary construction draw­ ings dated Feb. 24, complete construction drawings for the Americans with Disabilities Act restroom and front entry, and complete plans for the expansion of the parking lots at the township hall and the Payne Lake Road fire bam.

They com­ peted by solving the "OohMotional Vehicle" problem which required teams to design, build, and drive a vehicle that would travel a course where it encountered three different situations. The vehicle will .display a different human emotion for each encounter and one will cause it to travel in reverse. The team will create a theme for the presentation that incorporates the vehicle and the different emotions. The emphases will be on the technical risk-taking and cre­ ativity of the vehicle's engi­ neering for travel and change of emotional appearance. The team was required to make all decisions and do all of the work, creating, design­ ing, building, painting, cos­ tumes, props, and script all on their own with no help. They also had to compete in a spontaneous problem, the scores were combined to determine the winner. There were 13 teams in their divi­ sion (Division 1 is Kindergarten through 5th grade).

Jerry Artz, an officer of the association, explained that the funds had been appropriated by the execu­ tive committee for the extra patrolk. The township was involved because the Barry County Sheriff*s Department cannot contract with a pri­ vate agency such as the asso­ ciation. He said that Sheriff Dar Ixaf had recommended Yankee Springs as the appro pnale public entity because it has the most residents on the lake Supervisor Al McCrumb said he wants a provision in the contract that expressly excludes the township from any liability that may or could arise from the extra patrols. Sgt. Julie Jones, commander of the Barry County Sheriff s Department Manne Division, responded that the department’s liabili­ ty insurance would cover any such situation. She added that the program is a season­ al event and the contract would be similar to the arrangement with the Village of Middleville. “Are you going to have a meeting of the members of the association?" McCrumb asked of Artz, who replied that the board had allocated $2,000 for the patrols.

It seems that boats are get­ ting too close to the site of the fireworks display and the company is concerned that hot debris from fireworks could land on a boat and III. injure someone Responding to a question about when the GLPA board was going to tell its members about the extra patrols, Artz said it would be in the newsletter scheduled for next month. Another association mem­ ber held up a copy of the Hastings Banner and said. "We would never had known about it if weren’t for the newspaper." support if the members knew what the reason was. h's not w hat you do, it is how you do it.” Questions were raised about the impact of county budget cuts on the depart ment's ability to patrol the lake: Was the association being expected to supple­ ment the division’s budget to maintain the level of cover­ age? Sgt. Jones replied that the marine division’s budget had been cut but that the division had been able to adjust patrols and staffing so that coverage could be main­ tained. She reiterated that the extra support from the asso­ ciation was solely for extra hours.

Trustee Mary Cook said that she was with the mem­ bership on the issue adding that the GLPA board needed to go to the membership and then come back to the tow nboard ship board. Shane VandenBerg'* suggested the township should have a pub­ lic hearing on the issue and Clerk Janice Lippert said she was willing to do a formal public notice of a meeting, Greg Purcell of Valley Drive used a line from the movie "Cool Hand Luke," in describing the discussion.

'-•/I I Staff Writer The stationing of an ambulance at the Payne Lake Road fire bam in Yankee Springs Township for use on weekends and the July 4 hol­ iday this summer season is a strong possibility. While ambulance coverage has always been provided as part of the township's coverage for fire and emergency med­ ical services with Township Thornapple Emergency Services, the ambulance has usually had to come from Middleville. At its meeting this past Thursday evening, March 8, Board of Trustees the engaged in serious discussion with Dave Middleton, Thornapple director, Emergency Township Services regarding the possibility . of’ having _ an ambulance available on the 16 weekends (plus the Fourth of July holiday) beginning on the Memorial Day weekend through the Labor Day weekend. The obstacle has been Al Supervisor cost. McCrumb suggested funding the additional services from the local government funds the township receives from the Gun Lake Casino. He feels that the additional cov­ erage is important to resi­ dents. According to Middleton, the township would be able to decide whether it wants coverage on two days, such as Saturday and Sunday, at a cost approximately of $13,000 to 14,000. The cost for three days — Friday through Sunday — is esti­ at mated $21,000. Middleton suggested cover­ age for the Fourth of July, which occurs in the middle of the week this year, could be arranged. In terms of the availability of ambulance service. Gun Lake is approximately equal­ ly distant from the Wayland Area Emergency Services which unit, covers Orangeville Township and Middleville where an ambu­ lance is stationed at the TTES facility. The two first responders on the lake for emergency medical services • are TTES and the Orangeville Fire Department. There are also mutual aid agreements for ambulance services similar to the agreements that r exist _ among departments for fire and other emergency services. The board also took up its contract for fire and emergency services for 2012-13. The contract is for $98,760 plus a $3,636 administrative fee levied by Thornapple Township. Trustee Mary Cook queried the administra­ tive fee noting that it repre­ sents one percent of the entire TTES budget. “Why isn’t some of this being paid by the other town­ ships served by the depart­ ment?” asked Cook, to which Middleton replied that was the way the township super­ visor did it and it probably accounts for something like a car lease. Janice Lippert Clerk moved to approve the pay­ ment of $ 102,396 for fire and emergency services for the 2012-13 year. The motion was supported by Treasurer John Jerkatis, who added a friendly amendment asking for clarification of the administrative fee add-on. The motion was approved 50.

And planning for the unexpected also means hav­ ing sufficient life insurance to provide for your family in case anything happens to you. • Educating your children — College is already expen­ sive — and college expenses have been rising faster than the overall rate of inflation. If you want to help your chil­ dren, or grandchildren, pay for school, you may want to invest in a college savings vehicle, such as the 529 plan. You can contribute large amounts to a 529 plan, and earnings have the opportuniopportuni­ ty to grow tax-free, provided withdrawals are used for education. higher (Withdrawals not used for education are subject to income taxes and a 10 per­ cent penalty.) • Living in retirement — Once you reach retirement, your investment emphasis will shift somewhat, from accumulating resources to making them last. By work­ ing with a financial advisor, you can develop a withdrawal strategy that can help make sure you don't outlive the income you receive from As an investor, what are your goals? You can proba­ bly think of quite a few — but over the course of your lifetime, your objectives typ­ ically will fall into five key categories. And once you’re familiar with these areas, you can start thinking of what they'll mean to you in terms of your financial and invest­ ment strategies. So, let’s take a look at each of these areas and see what they might entail for you: • Preparing for retirement — With advances in health care and a greater awareness of healthy living practices, many of us can expect to live two or three decades in an active retirement.

A meeting is set for Wednesday, March 28, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Hastings Public Library, Community Room, 227 E. State St., Hastings. The proposed road closure has three parts: Permanently closure of County Farm Trail between Peets Road and Whitmore Road in Section 19 of Rutland Township; permanently closure of Fire Tower Trail between Hart Road and Gun Lake Road in sections 29 and 30 of Rutland Township; and sea­ sonally closure the trail in Section 32 of Rutland Township that runs off of Whitmore Road and pro­ vides access to Glass Creek. This trail would be open dur­ ing waterfowl season so hunters could access Glass Creek. According to Sara Schaefer, DNR Southwest Region biologist, these trails receive heavy use by sight­ seers, as well as people “mudding” and partying. The trails were designed to pro­ vide access for hunters and trappers. The reason for the closures, she said, is that ORV damage has become excessive to the point the trails are no longer passable at times. During the hunting season a four-wheel drive vehicle could get down por­ tions of these trails. Schaefer said these trails should pro­ vide access to any passenger vehicle. The burden of main­ taining these trails in work­ ing order currently exceeds the ability of the DNR to fund the maintenance, and reduced staffing1 limits the amount of time available to work on the trails. “By closing the trails, we will be able repair them so they are passable again in case of emergencies and also be able to maintain them in good condition so the ero­ sion will be under control,” said Schaefer. “Foot traffic will still be allowed. Closure of these trails may actually increase quality hunting opportunities because of the decreased disturbance by vehicle traffic through the area.” The main portion of the master plan that deals with proposed changes in the habitat and look of the game area are outlined and intro­ duces a new hunter accessi­ bility plan. This is to create special hunting access and accommodations for hunters with physical disabilities. The future desired condition goals in the plan will require timber cutting at a greater level than in the past 20 years. Schaefer will have two hard copies and an electronic copy of the draft master plan at the Hastings Public Library for people to view during the comment period. The public comment peri­ od will end April 30 for both the plan and the road closure proposals. Persons with disabilities needing accommodations for the meeting should call Cindy McQueer, 269-6856851, ext. 139, a minimum of five business days before the meeting. Requests made less than five business days before the event may not be accommodated. - *— r /— your Special Event! I J I landowners invited to wetlands workshop The Coldwater River Watershed Council will host a free wetlands workshop for landowners from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., Wednesday, March 21, at the Freeport Village Hall. Landowners in arry, Ionia or Kent counties whose property consists of drained wetland may be eligible to receive up to $4,000 per acre, as well as assistance in restoring and protecting their land with conservation ease­ ments. Wetlands are the vital link between water and land. More than 50 percent of Michigan’s original wetlands have been drained or filled, thereby making the protec­ tion of remaining wetlands and restoration of historic wetlands that much more important. Beginning in - the late 1980s and early 1990s, the United States Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service began efforts to reverse the tide of wetlands losses by establishing wetlands restoration programs. These programs are designed to support landowners who wish to voluntarily restore wetlands on their property. Attendees at the Freeport meeting will learn more about available programs and hear from leading wet- lands experts, including rep­ resentatives from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Natural Resources Conservation Service and the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality. The restoration of drained or altered wetlands re-estab­ lishes and adds important ecological A functions to the landscape, including the cre­ ation of new wildlife habitat, increased flood storage and enhancement of water quali­ ty. Wetlands improve water quality in our lakes and streams by filtering out pol­ lutants such as sediment and nutrients before run-off reaches rivers and lakes. Nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus contribute a Ill large amount of pollution to Michigan’s lakes river and streams. Wetlands can filter out more than 90 percent of the phosphorus nitrogen entering them. Excess nutri­ ents contribute to increased algae growth, which reduces the amount of oxygen in the water. Reduced oxygen lim­ its the ability of aquatic organisms, such as macroin­ vertebrates and fish, to thrive. Sediment is a leading pol­ lutant in Michigan’s lakes, and rivers streams. Sediments that are suspend­ ed in run-off or other running water can also be removed by wetlands. As the running water enters a wetland, the /* water slows and the sedi­ ments settle out. Some wet­ lands can retain more than 90 percent of this sediment. Flooding and shoreline erosion problems are reduced when wetlands are present because wetlands hold and slowly release floodwater and snow melt. This increased infiltration of surface water recharges groundwater. In the Coldwater River and its trib­ utaries, more groundwater influx and less surface water runoff results in a creeks and rivers with a cooler, more stable flow. Wetlands are among the most productive ecosystems in the world, comparable to rain forests and coral reefs. They provide valuable habi­ tat for thousands of plant and animal species and are nurs­ ery grounds and sanctuaries for fish and other animals. Wetlands are essential to the life cycle of many of Michigan’s threatened or endangered species. Area residents who would like to learn more about the history of wetlands in the Coldwater River watershed, who have an interest in restoring wetland habitat on their property and would like to attend this workshop should RSVP to Kristi Klomp by calling 616-4514844 or sending an email to timberlandrcd@gmail.com.

Hi Barry County Commissioners made good on two investments and rec­ approval of ommended another during Tuesday’s committee of the whole meeting. “I’m here on three differ­ ent items, all relating to county bond issues,” said county attorney Jim White; “one new bond issue and two bond issues that have recent­ ly been paid off, which is • always good.” Both payoffs involved bond issue money ror for projects improvement backed by the county board in 1996 and which, Tuesday, received a recommendation that the full board, at its reg­ ular meeting March 13, make formal transfer of title and property to the respective governing authorities. In November, Kellogg Community College repaid in full a nearly $3 million bond issue to construct and operate a satellite campus in Rutland Charter Township, the Fehsenfeld Center, which opened in. 1996. 1996. After expected board approval next week, KCC will receive the official title to the prop­ erty. Also in the fall, the Southwest Barry County Sewer and Water Authority repaid in full a $1.1 bond issue which funded an exten­ sion of the service to resi­ dents of Fair Lake in Barry Township. To take advan­ tage of a decrease in interest rates, the issue was refi- nanced through Hastings City Bank, and Barry County was repaid for its initial bond issue. Current low-interest rates are expected to benefit the county in its issuance of $6 million of bonds recom­ mended for approval to fund the proposed 23-bed -skilled facility nursing at the Thornapple , Manor, county’s medical care facility. “Municipal bond rates are at 30- to 40-year lows,” said White, who estimated that a 20-year municipal bond earns 3.6 percent today, though he cautioned an exact level for Barry County will not be determined until con­ tracting bids determine actu­ al construction costs and commissioners approve the bond sale, hopefully in early »!• April. Construction is scheduled to begin by May 1, according to White, In other business, the board approved the following recommendations to be considered at its meeting Tuesday: • Recommendations to the county’s mental health and substance abuse board. Commissioners interviewed candidates Pamela Jarvis, Karen Vedro, Gerald Pattok, Melissa Swientoniowski and Teresa Coenen for three positions on the board. Bit Jarvis for was recommended appointment to fill a citizen­ appointment, at-large Swientoniowski for a pri­ mary consumer position, and Pattok for secondary con- sumer position. • An extension of the monumentation surveyor agree­ ment between Barry County and participating surveyors for a one-year period. The county participates in the survey of government prop­ erty as part of a State of Michigan objective that is funded through an annual grant from the state. • An amendment of the »!• parks and recreation board bylaws allowing an increase of the number of citizen-atlarge positions on the board to five. The change will eliminate a position reserved for a “crossover” member from the Charlton Park board and the possibility that a rep­ resentative from each board is not available. • .

Both seniors are part of a new sports certification class at TK high school preparing students for sports officiat­ ing jobs even while they're still in high school. Teacher Lyndsey Fischer brought West Michigan native and NFL official Paganelli to share his real life experi­ ences. Paganelli has been part of the officiating crew for three NFL Super Bowl games including this year’s game in Indianapolis. While he says there are many benefits to his job, he admits it’s not for everyone. “You have to be tough. You have to be able to take criticism and you have to be able to learn from your mis­ takes,” he said. “When you work the Super Bowl, it's the pinnacle of sporting events. It's the most watched sporting event. And you think about blowing a call and costing the game. But you just have to rely on your training and trust what you see and what you know.’’ Paganelli comes from a family of sporting officials. His father, Carl Sr., was also a sports official and he's joined in the NFL by his two brothers, Dino and Perry. “Everybody starts out at the developmental leagues and has to work their way up. The best thing to do is get started by contacting the West Michigan Officials to officiate games when he _can. _ __ 44 1 think it was good to hear what he's done and lis­ ten to his advice. It‘s some­ body who has been there and done it.'' Harley Heukels is regis­ tered to officiate track, base­ ball and softball and plans to work this summer at differ­ ent games. “It's like he said, you have to keep your head in the game and go with your gut feeling about things. ’’ Paganelli said he was impressed that TK offers a course preparing students for jobs and possible future careers. “It's a great start for all of you," he said. Association and work with someone who has experience and learn from them,” he said. He added that there4 s a great shortage of officials for most sports and that it‘s not a bad choice for college stu­ dents needing to make extra spending cash. “If you are an athlete and you know the game, it comes naturally," said Paganelli. “It's a great way to stay involved in sports and you're doing what you really love." Senior Dillon Blain said he was impressed by the talk and with Paganelli's Super Bowl ring he was able to slip on his own finger for just a few seconds. “It’s definitely cool," said Blain marveling at the diamond-studded ring.

If you ask him, he was responsible for five. “It’s just simple mistakes I should have worked on all year long,” said the Thomapple Kellogg senior, Foster, after going 3-2 dur­ ing the weekend and finish­ ing fifth in the 285-pound weight class. “I pretty much pinned myself both times. I can't get mad at anyone but myself. Today, in my last match I just thought go all out. It’s the last match of the year, my last match ever probably.” “I went out there and left it all on the mat and ended up coming out with a win.” His fifth-place finish is one place higher than he fin­ ished as a junior. He was one of two Trojan medalists. Freshman Chris Poland was eighth in the 103-pound weight class. The other TK state qualifiers Nate Iveson and Dan Dykstra were both 1 -2 on the weekend. Foster came to the Palace of Auburn Hills with a 44-0 record, and improved to 45-0 with a pin of Clio’s Tyler Eible 1 minute and 20 sec­ onds into their opening round match. Then Foster pinned Madison Heights Lamphere's Skip Conner 4:15 into their quarterfinal match.” Foster didn't have a match last six minutes in the entire state tournament. “If the opportunity is there to pin the kid, I'm obviously *• $ & 7^ 61^ A F * & <7 F i ii I I I i Thornapple Kellogg 285-pounder Adrian Foster (top) pushes Escanaba’s Dalton Perron-Spear towards his back during the second period of their match for fourth place at the Division 2 Individual Wrestling Finals Saturday afternoon. (Photo by Brett Bremer) going to pin the kid, but if he has the opportunity to pin me I’m obviously going to fight as much as I can.” There wasn’t much fight in Foster though when he was pinned by Mason’s Adam Robinson three min­ utes and six seconds into their championship semifinal Friday night. “I was up 4-1, and I kind of got antsy,” said Foster. “I was trying to throw in my legs and I went up and over and landed on my head. My whole body went just stiff. I couldn't move at all. He popped up, looked at the ref and looked back at me and he did what any normal heavyweight would dp. That’s understandable, just go and pin him. If you have the opportunity just go.” Foster was also pinned by Stevensville Lakeshore's Kyle Carlson 1:35 into their consolation semifinal, in a match where he had a 5-0 lead. “I was beating him and then the next thing I know I get caught in a lousy head­ lock,” said Foster. Foster closed out his high school career by pinning Escanaba’s Dalton Perron- Spear 1:47 into the match for fifth place. Poland was two minutes away from leaving the Palace without a medal. He trailed Greenville's Mike Schmidt 8-1 at the start of the third period of their blood round match Friday afternoon. “All I remember is hitting a granby for a five-point move and looking at the scoreboard and realizing it was tied up,” said Poland. “I was like, oh my God I just worked my way all the way back in it.

He'd also won a twopoint match in the first round of consolation, besting Mattawan's Blain Dempsey 7-5. Those were Poland's only two wins. “Yesterday was the crazi­ est wrestling day of my life,” Poland said. e It’s been a life full of wrestling matches. He start­ ed wrestling when he was five. He started his run at the Palace with a 6-0 loss to Adrian's Joe Garcia. After the two consolation wins, Poland fell 5-1 to Allen Park's Jake Polenciewicz and then 11-3 to Flint Kearsley’s Jakob Chapman in the match for seventh place. t II?

A series of Stroke Clinics will be held Mondays and Wednesdays from April 9 through May 16 at the Community Education and Recreation Center pool in Hastings. “We always have a sum­ mer and winter competitive swim season for our swim club, but because we are lim­ ited to two practices a week I was looking for a way to spend more time working specifically on start, turn and stroke improvement,” said Mike organizer clinic Schipper. The cost to participate in the 12, two-hour clinics is $50. The clinics will run from 6:30- p.m. until 8:30 p.m. each evening. Sign-up can be done at the CERC in Hastings prior to April 9, at the first clinic on April 9, or any time after the first ses­ sion for those unable to attend. The clinics will be divided in to four age/ability groups, and each group will rotate through stations focusing on starts, turns, drill work and full stroke work. Each night will be devoted to only one stroke. For instance, April 9 will be all breaststroke for the full two hours. “This will allow the swim­ mers to really focus on that stroke,” said Schipper. “We will have hopefully as many as eigm eight coacnes coaches so that mai caui each swimmer will get a lot of individual attention. We will also be video taping the swimmers to help them see their stroke and see what specific changes need to .be made.” Contact Schipper for more information at (269) 795- 2005 or Kim Kroells at (616) 446-4747. i hsates*1 Call anytime to place your Sun & News classified ad 269-945-9554 or 1-899-870-7085 1* For Sale Business Services For Rent Miscellaneous AMIGO POWER WHEELCHAIR totally adjustable, • — • — 300/lbs capacity, $850/obo; 3 wheeled( Walker w/basket and hand brakes, $60; large shower chair $50.

According to Middleton, the most difficult aspect of the legislation is that the rules needed to implement the law are not yet available and that nrnepdiiral requirements of procedural requirements of the rule-making statute will most likelv not be available for the coming fireworks season. "About the only thing that is clear is that the new law preempts local regulation of fireworks sales except through zonin_■ii authority. A community cannot exclude the sale of fireworks through zoning regulations, but it may limit such sales to an area. Persons seeking' to have displays in neighborhoods can do so, but they must apply in April for a permit to be followed by a 60-day review process prior to receiving a 'state-issued permit. Complaints about illegal displays will be investigated by local fire departments and and take over the function as a department of the county did not appear to have much ' appeal to his fellow commissioners.

Saturday, March 17, 2012/ Page 5 r ‘Wonderland’ takes stage Friday in Caledonia Caledonia Community Community Players will perform Laura Shank’s “Wonderland” at 7 p.m. Friday, March 24, at the Duncan Lake Performing Arts Center. Tickets for the one performance production are available at the door prior to the show or by ordering online at www.CaledoniaPlayers.org, or by calling 616-891-8117. All tickets are $5. “Wonderland” is Lewis Carroll’s famous story adapted for preschool and elementary audiences. When a bored Alice follows the white rabbit down the rabbit hole, the curtain opens on the magical country of Wonderland. Full of word play and puns, Alice learns manners from a silly mouse and logic from the mischievous Cheshire Cat. The play ends with bubbles and balloons, a not-too- pNii A L (A E t a' > - mean queen and wise king. and the lingering question, ‘Was it all a dream?' Director Pam Shank said the group chose a script that keeps the word play and puns in the book Alice hi Wonderland, but keeps it active and bright for younger audiences. Recent versions of movies and television specials “Alice in of Wonderland” have been much more scary than the version CCP is presenting, she said. “We wanted to have bright costumes and colors, with fun, added touches such as a balloon being the “edge-hog" croquet balls," pointed out It Shank. “The students who come see these shows get to see actors on a big stage with a colorful backdrop and the 24 cast members have been working on interacting with the audience to provide them a unique experience. Cast members include Sienna Mohl as Alice; Anna Luurtsema as the white rabbit; Allison Hamilton. Alex Salinas and Caitlin Bergsma as mice; Paul Hamilton as the caterpillar; Darcy Shank as Cheshire cat; Ryan Miller as March Hare; Jordan Cooper as Mad Hatter; Kelsie Scharp as Dormouse; Adiene Noboa as queen of hearts; Dakota Woodfill as king of hearts; Jacob Salinas as jack of hearts; and Cameron Downer as jack of spades. the Members of are society Wonderland Hannah Bergsma, Natalie Rice, Oestreich, Josie Mackenzie Ashbaugh.

The committee oversees Fire the Caledonia Department, the policing contract with the Kent County Sheriff’s Department, and the provision of emergency services to residents. Its role is to make recommendations to the _ township’s board of‘ trustees. which has the final call on the recommendations. Supervisor Bryan Harrison raised two concerns. one dealing with the need for a fully-staffed fire station for a fu!1168-hour in the week, the other dealing with the timing of such a commitment. Also at issue, but not a at focus of discussion Tuesday’s meeting, is the renewal of the existing 1.5 mills for public safety to be part of Aug. 7 primary ballot, Currently the station is staffed 70 hours a week. Two fulltime employees. Fire Chief Brian Bennett and Lieutenant Kyle Fennell handie the 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. duties, The period from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. is covered by an assigned duty crew. From 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. coverage is. provided by two assigned personnel who are not at the station. Additional personnel are called in as needed. According to data supplied by the department, 768 calls were made for services in 2011. Eleven fire calls represented the lowest demand for services, though they still required the fullest response by the department. The overwhelming majority of calls were for medical services (433), which almost always can be handled by two . persons.

New language program will help students meet grad requirements by Julie Makarewicz Staff Writer With new high school graduation guidelines requiring two years of a foreign language, Thomapple Kellogg administrators have taken action to ensure student success and achievement. A new “essentials” track for world languages to be implemented at the high school will be a four trimester series that will provide the needed requirements. Assistant Superintendent Tom Enslen said this “essentials” track doesn’t take away any of the rigor or relevance of the material, but will give students a slighter slower pace. a “Not all students are going to be successful at the FAMILY PHYSICIAN OFFICE Nurse/Medical Assistant Full Time/Part Time Experience preferred but will train qualified individual.

If you’re like many people, the arrival of spring means it’s time to spruce up your home. But why stop there? This year, consider applying some of those same spring­ cleaning techniques to your investment portfolio. Here are some ideas you may want to put to work: • Get rid of clutter. You probably don’t have to look too far around your home to find things that are broken or simply no longer useful to you. If you poke around your •It portfolio, you might make •It discoveries: similar an investment that has chroni­ cally underperformed, dupli­ cates another investment or met your needs in the past but is less relevant to your current situation and goals. Once you identify these types of investments, you may decide to sell them and use the proceeds to take advantage of opportunities that may prove more valu­ able to you. • Consolidate. Over the years, you may have accflmulated multiple versions of common household items — brooms, mops, hammers — which pop up mysteriously in various parts of your home. You might find it more efficient, and even less expensive, if you consolidat- J 1 'k % I ' l'1 ** * kk ft & s •Mi ’ 'Ml C * ti fee aa* :j I - * fe it kEfin iMin ailHKX ed all these things in one cen­ tralized location. As an investor, you also might find that consolidation can offer you some benefits. Do you have one Individual Retirement Account (IRA) with one financial services provider and a second IRA with another? Do you have a of old 401(k) couple accounts . with former employers? And have you scattered investments here, there and everywhere? By all . these consolidating accounts in one place, you can cut down on paperwork, reduce fees and, most impor­ tantly, unite your investment dollars so that it’s easier for you to see what you have and then follow a single, coher­ ent investment strategy. • Prepare for turbulent weather. As you know, springtime can bring heavy rains, hail, strong winds and other threats to your home. As part of your overall spring cleaning, you may want to check the condition of your roof, clear branches away from your house, clean your gutters and downspouts, and take other steps to pro­ tect your property from the ravages of Mother Nature. And just as you need to safe­ guard your home, you'll want to protect the lifestyles of those who live in that home — namely, your fami­ ly. You can help accomplish this by reviewing your life and disability insurance to make sure it's still sufficient for your needs. • Get professional help. You may find that you can’t do all your spring cleaning by yourself. For example, if your carpets and rugs are heavily soiled, you may need to call in a professional cleaner. Or if your tree branches have grown out of control, you might need to bring in a tree trimmer. Similarly, when you decide to “tidy up" your portfolio, you'll need some assistance from a financial professional — someone who can study your current mix of invest­ ments and recommend changes, as needed, to help ensure your holdings are suitable for your risk toler­ ance, time horizon and shortand long-term goals. Spring cleaning can rein­ vigorate your home and your overall outlook. And by tidy­ ing up your investment port­ folio, you can help gain some of that same optimism — for your future.

The village department of public works director, village clerk, and administrative assistant will all get 3 percent pay hikes. The deputy clerk/deputy treasurer position will increase hours from 20hours per week to 30 hours per week and the council approved the creation of the shared zoning administrator posi­ Thornapple tion with Township. Village Manager Rebecca Fleury said she believes the pay increases are warranted since staff has continued to pick up additional workloads while maintaining levels of service. For the remainder of 2012, the changes mean additional costs of $1,316 for the DPW director, $368 for the clerk, $5,829 for the deputy clerk/treasurer, and $349 for the administrative assistant. The village council also approved hiring Catherine Getty as the zoning administrator.

A higher rat­ ing — for which Brown will appeal on Monday — would ensure a higher price for the bonds and a proportional decrease in the rate of inter­ est on which the county would repay bondholders. “Our last. bond rating came in 2009,” Brown told commissioners, “and, though we don’t anticipate any changes, we've put our financial rating agency on notice that we intend to push for an improved rating because we’ve done some things to posture ourselves very well.” Tuesday’s approval to issue the bonds which came by unanimous vote — provided an opportunity for Brown and the board to reflect on just how inspiring the story of its financial man­ agement in dire economic times plays in the larger world. Key to the that story, Brown pointed out, was the Michigan State University study of property values •It commissioned by the board and completed in late 2010. The forecast of declining property values proved accu­ rate enough that Brown and •It the board were able to gener­ ate budgets that not only pro­ duced the belt-tightening needed but also provided jus­ tification for the sometimespainful cuts that were fash­ ioned. “It wasn’t real easy,” Editor The script isn’t quite com­ plete, and casting calls have yet to be made, but Barry County Administrator Michael Brown told county commissioners Tuesday that there is quite a narrative to be told about Barry County. “There's passion to this story, and I'm going to be selling all the good things that this county does,” said Brown. Brown was specifically referring to an upcoming Monday conference call with •ft bond rating agencies and, t though it might not bring the millions of dollars of a Hollywood blockbuster, an improved rating from its already-stellar AA designa­ tion could bring Barry County increased respect in the financial markets and a commensurate boost in the •ft price of the bonds it issues. Discussion at Tuesday’s meeting of the Barry County Board of Commissioners concerned approval to '1 authorize issuance of general •It obligation bonds to finance the estimated $6 million con­ struction of a 23-bed skilled nursing facility at the coun­ ty’s Thomapple Manor med­ ical care facility. Because the bonds will be issued under the good faith and credit of the county, they will carry the county’s cur­ rent AA designation as rated by the Standard and Poor’s reflected Commissioner Don Nevins, to which » rown was €4 able to reply that we’ve made tough choices, but we drew up budgets that were based on facts.” Commissioner Robert Houtman pointed out that fully funding the county's tax delinquency fund was another area to be highlight­ ed. “We didn’t just adopt that policy,” contended Houtman, “we set a bench­ mark. No one ever had a pol­ icy before.” Since the policy has now been replicated by other boards, Nevins quipped that Barry County should have patented the idea and sold it. As Brown explained after the meeting, when member townships fail to collect delinquent taxes in a new year, the county is able to provide needed financial coverage until full restitution is made. Until it set aside between $9 and $10 million in a tax delinquency fund, Barry County — and most other counties in the state — borrowed money to reim­ burse townships, an interest cost that now Barry County no longer is forced to pay. “It sounds small,” said •ft Brown, “but it doesn ’t put us in a position to have to bor­ row. And then we can use the capital to address other needs.” Primarily, those needs have been in three areas: data property owners don’t real­ ize they still have six months to address their financial sit­ pointed uation, out Stolsonburg, adding that, in many cases, “they just need to ask for help.” • Approved the retention of Gabriel Roeder Smith and Company of Southfield to complete the Dec. 31, 2010, valuation of the Barry County Retiree Health Care Plan as required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. • Approved the extension of the monumentation sur­ veyor agreement between the county and participating sur­ veyors for one-year period. • Approved an amendment to the parks and recreation •ft board bylaws, allowing the increase of the number of cit­ •ft izen-at-large positions on the board from four to five. re­ • Approved the appointment of Pamela Jarvis and Gerald Pattok and the appointment of Melissa Swientoniowski to the Barry County Mental Health and Substance Abuse Board. • Received notice of a spe­ cial planning•si plannin meeting Thursday, April 12, at 9 a.m. Agenda items to be dis­ cussed include the agricul­ tural and open space preser­ vation ordinance to be led by consultant Rich Harlow; the road commission gover­ nance bill recently signed into law by Gov. Rick Snyder; the governor’s eco- processing, building rehabil­ itation and vehicle replace­ ment. All three represent infrastructure areas that, because they are being regu­ larly addressed, do not become major financial headaches at a later date. “There is a lot of pride in our culture,” summed up •ft Brown to the board, “and it starts with you setting the tone and ends with our departments that build on that culture. “Standard and Poor's job is to be sure that people who buy these bonds understand the Barry County story. It’s a lot about numbers, but it’s so. much more than numbers, too.” In other business, the board: • Heard Commissioner Jeff VanNortwick address the negative effects that home and property foreclo­ sures have on local units of government. VanNortwick read into the record a letter addressed to him by the Michigan State University Extension Service in which the agency urged local gov­ ernment officials to make residents aware of the many local resources available to avoid foreclosure. Board Chair Craig Stolsonburg, echoed VanNortwick’s concern and, speaking as a Realtor, said residents often wait until it is too late to request assistance.

National Nutrition Month is observed annually to bring awareness that eating right and being physically active are keys to a healthy lifestyle. According to the American Dietetic Association “The physical activity and food choices you make today — and every day — will affect your health now and in the future.” The Barry-Eaton District Health Department and ADA want to encourage local resi­ dents to improve their nutri­ tion and physical fitness by doing the following: • Make smart choices from every food group. Give the body the balanced nutrition it needs by eating a variety of nutrient-packed foods every day. Just be sure to stay with­ in the daily calorie needs. • Get the most nutrition out of calories. Choose the most nutritionally rich foods from each food group - those packed with vitamins, miner­ als, fiber and other nutrients but lower in calories. • Play it safe with foods. Prepare, handle and store food properly to ensure it is safe. • Find a balance between food and physical activity. Regular activity is important to overall health and fitness. It helps control body weight, promotes a feeling of well­ being and reduces the risk of chronic diseases.

He was looking fora college and hopefully a place to continue playing basket­ ball. The Cougars and coach Ryan Cottingham weren't looking for a guard though. The Spring Arbor coaching staff got a chance to see Hamilton in action for the Thomapple Kellogg varsity boys' basketball team this season though, and decided that maybe they could use another guard. Hamilton signed his National Letter of Intent to join the Spring Arbor Men's basketball program Thursday in the Thornapple Kellogg High School library. “We feel very blessed to have gotten him,” said Cottingham. “Initially our focus was on other positions. We didn't think we were even going to take a guard at the time. It just so happens I had been in conversations with his coach and he said you better get up here and see this kid.” “It worked out my assistant while shooting 40 percent from the field and 80 percent from the free throw line. He eclipsed the 1.000 point mark for his career during the Trojans' final home game and finished his three-year varsity career with 1.041 points. He was an all-conference performer in the O-K Gold this season, after earning an Jhonorable mention all-conference nod as a junior. He has also been nominated for All State Honors in the Detroit Free Press and BCAM's Best of the Best. While accomplishing all these honors on the hardwood, Greg has been able to maintain a GPA of 4.1. “We’re going to recruit character."

Miller and Harvey both signed National Letters of Intent during the season to play on the NCAA Division II level. Miller is headed to Ferris State University, while Harvey is headed to Missouri Western to play for coach Lynn Plett who at one time coached her father at Huntington College in Indiana. The senior point guard Miller and senior power for­ ward Harvey led the Caledonia varsity girls' bas­ ketball team to a 16-7 record this season, while both earn­ ing All-Conference honors in the O-K Gold. The Fighting Scots fell to East Kentwood in the Class A District Finals earlier this month. “I’m proud of both kids,” said Caledonia varsity girls' Joe basketball coach 66 Harvey, Reyni's father. In myopinion Lex is one of the best players in the state. I think each and every night she proves that she is a com­ petitor. She is as though as ton of nails. She plays a nobody minutes, and deserves and opportunity to play at the next level more than she does.

Reyni Harvey Both girls gave a lot of credit to their fathers and their families for the kind of players they are today, Miller’s father, Steve, was her first AAU coach when she was nine years old. it He definitely made me how tough I am now,” said Miller. fShe's happy to be staying close to home. Her brother Matt is in high school in Caledonia and it was important to her that her parents would be able to watch both of them play ball. Reyni learned a lot from her dad, as well as her big sister Shai who played at Kenowa Hills High School eventually Kuyper and College. “I always thought she was the coolest thing ever,” 66 Reyni said of Shai. She was four years older than and I looked up to her me like nobody s business, Playing against her always ■ _ _ _ brought the competitiveness out in me. Having little sis- ters that helps me to. It's just something that I really enjoy doing. 1 couldn't imagine not having it in my life because it's something that just makes me me. I m com fortable. When I'm out there that's the best feeling in the world, that's when I feel like I'm myself.” Reyni started playing in an elementary school league at Kenowa Hills, and even­ tually moved up to AAU ball including a few years where she played with Miller as well as Caledonia teammates McKayla Gehrls and Asia Slagter. They also played with Forest Hills April senior Central Lacrosse who will be join­ ing Miller at Ferris State. “It’s been an ongoing process since I was in sixth grade,” Reyni said. “It’s consumed all of my sum mers, and all of my springs and up until last year most of my falls. It's nice when you have a group of people you enjoy being around and enjoy playing basketball with and all kind of get how to play the game.

Cory Arp and Catherine Veltema paid $4,000 to the Cobblestone Restaurant as a deposit for their April wed­ ding reception. In a brief phone conversation, Arp said he preferred not to talk about •It. In the interest of full dis­ closure, J-Ad Graphics, Inc., the parent company of the Sun and News, is also a cred­ itor. According to Linda Boyce, J-Ad Graphics col­ lections manager, the restau­ rant still owes $571.46 for advertising dating back to The Endurance 2010. Fitness Center still owes the company $103.30. Preliminary investigation reveals that a significant loser is Jeni Rummelt and her husband. Trent Rummelt. According to Jeni Rummelt, the couple suc­ cessfully ran the Endurance Fitness Center business for eight years under the name Solid Impact Fitness Center. In December 2010, the busi­ ness was sold to O’Dowd who, at that point, may have been in partnership with The two-year Reynolds, contract required $2,400 monthly payments and a lump sum payment on January 1, 2012. In April 2011, O’Dowd filed for bankruptcy in the federal bankruptcy court located in Grand Rapids. At that point. Rummelt states that the business was in vio­ lation of the security agree­ ment and the Rummelts secured a default judgment in Kent County Circuit Court. The judgment con­ tained an order of eviction effective May 31, 2012. The Rummelts appear to be on the hook for $ 120.000 plus an estimated $20,000 in legal fees. Rummelt is most distressed by the business practices used by O’Dowd such as the effort to continue to sell memberships. The center's website still offers monthly memberships at a very low’ rate, especially for patrons willing to pay by electronic fund transfers. More distressing is the con­ tinued sale of longer-term memberships which have been transferred to the Ice House in Byron Center. Rummelt hopes to reopen the business this spring and has taken steps to secure the other equipment e and improvements her company made to the building. Though a final name has not been decided, one possibility will be Caledonia Fitness. Township Caledonia Treasurer Richard Robertson says he dislikes spending time in court pursuing delin­ quent personal property taxes on businesses, but has been faithfully chasing both the Cobblestone Restaurant and the Endurance Fitness Center businesses. Personal property taxes assessed to businesses are taxes on the value of the equipment used to operate the business, as opposed to real property See CREDITORS, page 3 Middleville DDA wants M-37 corner to have welcoming look i by Julie Makarewicz (fl Staff Writer The look at the main inter­ section in Middleville might soon get a facelift with a welcoming and informative gateway to the village. Three local landscape architect firms attended this Downtown week’s Authority Development meeting to gather ideas about orfT iroiioaz tI HOO* Kftfow nrlT itovsCI niT»ni how to develop the two vacant corners at the north­ east and southeast sides of the M-37 and Main Street intersection. The architects are expected to have propos­ als and cost estimates at the April 17 meeting. The DDA has some funds available for projects at the two sites, and the village recently approved seeking bonds for major projects, including the M-37 comer development. Village Manager Rebecca Fleury said the bonding includes about $14,750 for the inter­ section development. DDA members said they are looking for something inviting and welcoming to attract people to the down­ town area. “I want something that people will take notice of,” said Brian Appel, DDA I want it to be member. inviting.” Sheryl Ayriss, DDA mem­ ber, said she sees a need for some kind of sign to provide information about the down­ town area. “We need to give a little pizzazz to the heart of Middleville,” she said. She suggested an LED sign would be a good way to provide information and also be incorporated in a pleasant and welcoming design. Others said they want to make sure whatever is devel­ oped is low' maintenance with year-round plantings. They want it to carry on the downtown theme with the bricks and decorative lamp posts. And they suggested some type of water feature might be a nice way to tie in the attraction of the Thornapple River and trail. member Amy DDA DeVries said she wants the corner to be “classy and cute. It needs to fit in with our downtown theme and oldtown feeling we have.” The DDA purchased the two lots and has removed the houses that stood on the properties. Members said the development doesn't have to use the entire lot and that they might consider selling parts of the lot to adjacent landowners.

Both motions passed 6-3 with committee members Cathy Strickland, Shane VandenBerg, and Treasurer John Jerkatis dissenting. A third motion, to require a competitive bidding process from engineering companies for the prepara­ tion of documents for the 1,120 square foot addition, passed unanimously. The committee's recom­ mendations will go to the Board of Trustees and are expected to be on the agenda for the Apr. 12 board meet­ ing for approval as concept plans and not final construc­ tion plans. Jerkatis continued to back the first of the six plans sub­ mitted and considered by the facilities committee. The Caledonia American Legion Post 305 n. cn R 8 THURSDAY Bingo starts at 6:30 p.m. plan, that Jerkatis has pro­ posed, is the only plan that does not involve a change in the footprint of the building. He suggests constructing two offices, one for the assessor and one for the treasurer on the south wall of the community hall. The two offices would be separated by a conference room. The kitchen area in the communi­ ty hall would be reduced in size to permit the installation of unisex handicapper acces­ sible restroom. The outside entrance to the hall would have a canopy and a handi­ capper accessible door. Jerkatis' plan calls for the current office area to remain the same with the exception of a secure entrance to the office area from the north doorway, which would also be handicapper accessible. He maintained his plan rep­ resented the best available use of the existing facility and did so at a low cost. The principal objection to the Jerkatis plan came from Clerk Janice Lippert who said the reduced space In the hall would not meet the state's requirements for a voting precinct. There are also concerns with the ability of the office floor to meet the code requirement of a -liveload of 50 lbs. per square foot. The second plan consid­ ered is the only plan to involve totally new construc­ tion and was submitted by fire chief Dave Middleton. He advocated building a 3,840 square foot addition onto the south side of the Payne Lake Road fire sta- Churches...Order your Palm Buds & Branches Now!

Middleton argued that his plan would solve all the issues associated "with reno­ vating an older building, would relocate offices to a more central location in the township, and would provide an energy-efficient and handicapper accessible facil­ ity. Middleton's plan foundered on cost. Using an estimated construction cost of $110 per square foot, it was felt that a cost of $423,500 would not be acceptable to taxpayers. Another issue was the fact that the township's address would be a Wayland address. The third plan, submitted by Lippert and Marge VanderMeyden, deputy clerk, is known as Fleis and Vandenbrink #3. This is the plan that was not presented at the March 5 meeting of the committee when the com­ mittee departed from its agenda. The addition to the existing office space would provide more offices as well as a better work flow, a point that VanderMeyden and Alice Jansma, deputy super­ visor, agreed recognized and accommodated the multi­ tasking nature of the work. Jansma particularly noted that the noise level currently can reach the point where it is difficult to think. VanderMeyden said that a sound barrier was needed between the receptionist and the copier. Another variant known as Fleis and Vandenbrink #2 was presented by Robert Lippert, zoning administra­ tor. He argued that the plan met all the needs expressed in a Nov. 23, 2010 memo written by VanderMeyden. The fourth plan was sub­ mitted by Shane VandenBerg. His plan adds less than 1,000 square feet of new space. It would extend the current roof line north from the community hall and create an office for the asses­ sor on a concrete slab and additional storage space for public records. In VandenBerg's view, the / project is small enough for a small contractor to be able to do the job. The physical expansion of government space on the scale represent­ ed by the other plans, he argues, represents expansion of government. He also maintains the future of town­ ship government is uncertain since it could disappear with­ in 20 years, thus planning for that far into the future is unnecessary. VandenBerg stressed that his plan could be done by a small local contractor. There was, in his view, no need to pay an engineering firm to supervise the project. Jansma observed that state law requires public buildings constructed or renovated with public funds to be designed by an architect. VandenBerg replied that an architect's stamp could be purchased for as little as $2,000. The fifth plan was drawn by Supervisor Al McCrumb. It adds 1,120 square feet of new space to the north and preserves the community hall in its current configura­ tion. The 28' x 40' addition adds two additional offices, adds men's and women's restrooms to the office area, and has an estimated cost of $123,000. The sixth plan presented by Cathy Strickland was a variant on a Fleis and Vandenbrink plan. Strickland would flip the offices into the community hall and convert the existing office space to a community room. She also placed a con­ ference room in a comer of the new’ community room. The Strickland plan faces difficulties over the conver­ sion of the current office space to a community hall because the building code requires the floor of a public meeting room to bear a liveload of 100 lbs. per square foot. The floor, in the opin­ ion of the engineering firm, may be doubtful for its cur­ rent use as office space. Given that the township trustees have already com­ mitted to making the facility compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, the omission in many of the plans of provisions for compliance raise questions about the actual cost of the recommendations. Jansma pointed out that adding ADA compliance could raise the cost of some of them by as much as $75,000. Middleton reminded the committee of the experience in building the Payne Lake Road fire station, which was a local contractor project that also featured volunteer labor. The result was a number of do-6vers. Janice Lippert, whose responsibilities as clerk include running elections, provided the Sun and News with a summary of the state law regarding polling places. Among the requirements is a provision stating that a polling place must be fully accessible. There are also specific requirements for the layout of a polling place. These requirements have been a continuing point of discussion with Jerkatis, who feels they are excessive. According to Lippert, any placement of offices in the community hail would seri­ ously interfere with comply­ ing with the requirements for the flow of voters through the processing area and the maintenance of privacy for voters using the Automark machine designed to permit wheelchair users to vote. Another area of concern is the state of the current elec­ trical and mechanical sys­ tems. Both Jerkatis and VandenBerg had questioned an estimate by Fleis and Vandenbrink of $30,000 to redo the hall's electrical sys­ tem. Jerkatis recommended that the committee continue to be active and to monitor progress towards the addi­ tion of a handicapper rest­ room and entrance to the hall. The next meeting of the committee is scheduled for Monday, April 16, at 7 p.m. in the township hall at 284 North Briggs Road. 4 fl J* ft .

The township board approved spending $560 to set up guest Internet service in the hall located on Main Street. The Internet service would be password protected so that residents wanting to use the service would have to come in and obtain a pass­ word. Township officials say it will be another resource for township residents. • “It’s a great thing,’’ said Treasurer Debra Buckowing. “It’s offering Internet and helping the community with a void. It allows people The more we know you, the better you are. i beeir I access to high-speed Internet if they don't have it; and it’s not a reality for everyone." She added that it’s a good way to spend taxpayer dol­ lars and provide needed serv­ ices. The service will be avail­ able in the township meeting room and will be especially useful during meetings and presentations. Township officials say they will have to work out public uses as the service is available. “It feels good to be able to help and alleviate a major void for some people,” said Buckowing. Township officials aren't sure how soon the service will be available. JB153Q ’t SI Building solid relationships with our patients is at the HASTINGS 4 heart of what we do.

All we have to do is say we’re willing to do this and they [the trail associa­ tion) put information about Middleville on the national said website,” Jean Lamoreaux, events coordina­ tor for the Village of Middleville. The North Country Trail, part of the National Park System, is a 4,600-mile trail that starts in upper New York, passes through Pennsylvania and Ohio and into Michigan, it continues through Michigan's Upper Peninsula westward, ending in North Dakota. In Middleville, the trail includes part of the Paul Henry Thornapple Trail along the Thornapple River. It continues north into the Barry State Game area and then heads on into Kent County and Lowell. told Lamoreaux Development Downtown Authority board members this week that the village has no real obligation nor cost to become a Trail Town. “It’s a way to connect peo­ ple using the trails to local businesses and places," said Lamoreaux.

Robertson said he had applied for a jeopardy tax judgment against both busi­ nesses. A jeopardy tax judg­ ment, he said, accelerates the process of collecting taxes. The entire annual personal property tax bill becomes due in one payment instead of two. The restaurant's 2011 per­ sonal property taxes of $2,212 are delinquent. The tax jeopardy judgment applies to the 2012 taxes which are $2,217. Similarly, Endurance Fitness still owes $600 on its 2010 tax bill and $2,687 for 2011.

She was bom on June 1, 1926, the oldest child of Lawrence and Mabie Hale ! • and spent her childh •idI in Pleasanton Township, Manistee County. She gradu­ ated with highest honors from Copemish High School in 1944. As a young woman, June contributed to the war effort by enrolling in the U.S. Cadet Nurse Corps. Though the war ended as she was fin­ ishing her training, she was proud of what she had learned and used her knowl­ edge often in coming to the aid of her family. June first met Carl Molenar, her future husband, when she was a young girl. Carl was up north deer hunt­ ing with his friend Ernie (who happened to be June’s uncle), and they walked into the little store owned by June’s parents. June was sit­ ting on the counter eating ice cream. After she graduated from high school and the war was over, Carl courted her and they were married on March 16, 1946 in Caledonia. The young couple began their married life living in a small trailer on his parents’ property. Soon, they would have a home of their own as Carl steadily built the beauti­ ful stone house while June Haircuts ably raised the children and kept house. That was her beloved residence for nearly 65 years. She worked hard, doing the family's laundry using an old-fashioned wringer wash­ er that fascinated all the children. She baked a dozen loaves of bread a week for her growing family and the house smelled really won­ derful on baking day. June was an excellent seamstress and especially enjoyed mak­ ing baby clothes. She and Carl carefully tended their gardens and were able to provide their family with an abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables. June was a member of St. Paul Lutheran Church in Caledonia, and taught Sunday school there for sev­ eral years. When her youngest child was comfort­ ably enrolled in school, she went to work at J.C.

The program started in January when students were given a selection of books to read. Books were based on reading levels so that all stu­ dents at all reading levels could participate. The selec­ tion of books was chosen to reflect various interests. After reading a book on the list, students completed a form and submitted it to the Battle of the Books. Students submitted questions that were then used for the battle rounds when they were test­ ed on their comprehension and reading retention skills. Ail fourth and fifth grade students were encouraged to participate. Each classroom came up with its own team name, such as Mega Monsters Mike from Hodges’ room. room, DeWitt’s Dewey Decimal Destroyers from Laura DeWitt’s room, and Book Bandits from Sarah Keizer's room. TK literacy coach Kim Chausow said it was an incredible first year for the event. “All students could be successful with the books they read. It was really incredible," she said. The Battle of the Books is all part of the school’s recog­ nition of March as reading month. Various activities the throughout the month encourage students to read daily. Chausow credited parent volunteers and financial assistance form the Page PTO and Thomapple Area Enrichment Foundation with making the program success­ ful. Winners from each class­ room were awarded medals and will advance Wednesday, March 28, to a Fifth grade Battle of Books winners include (front row, from left) Sam Dickman, Kenzie Maki-Mielke, Tyler Rowan, Evan Sidebotham (back) Christian Wright, Gabby Smith, Hunter Key and Stephanie Green.

Until you begin taking with­ drawals, the cash value of your policy has the potential to grow tax deferred. Then, when you retire, you can take tax-free payouts from your principal. (After the entire principal is paid, payouts are treated as loans against the contract.) And your benefici­ aries will receive the balance of the death benefit income tax free, minus any loans or loan interest. • Annuities — You might find that a fixed annuity can be an appropriate way to sup­ plement your retirement income. Like a L1RP. a fixed annuity's earnings have the potential to grow on a taxdeferred basis. Also, fixed annuities generally offer some type of guaranteed rate of return over the life of the annuity contract. And per­ haps most importantly, you can structure your annuity to provide you with an income stream you can't outlive. (Keep in mind, though, that annuities are generally more appropriate for investors who are at least 45 years old.) While you can certainly get some key benefits from a LIRP and a fixed annuity, you need to fully understand all aspects of these investment vehicles and make sure they are suitable for your sit­ uation and individual needs. Consequently, before investing, consult with a financial professional, But don't wait too long. By preparing for your retire­ ment well ahead of time, you can boost your chances of enjoying the type of “golden years” lifestyle that you've envisioned. This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your Jones local Edward Financial Advisor. % 0 I 7'^ • Life Insurance Retire­ ment Plan — A Life o I I u both these vehicles offer the potential for tax-deferred earnings and a variety of investment choices. But if you can still afford to put away more money, or if your income level prevents you from contributing to a Roth IRA, you may want to look at these possibilities: I 06776021 •• If you are contributing the maximum amount to your 401(k) or other employer­ sponsored retirement plan each year, that's good. And if you’re also “maxing out” on your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) annually, that’s even better. But what then? If you're already fully funding your 401(k) and IRA, can you put away even more for retirement? Should you? The answer to this last question is almost certainly “yes”- — because you could spend a long time in retire­ ment. How long? Consider these statistics from the Society of Actuaries: • A man who’s reached age 65 in good health has a 50% chance of living 20 more years and a 25% chance of living to age 92. • A 65-year-old woman has a 50% chance of living to age 88 and a 25% chance of liv­ ing to 94. • There’s a 50% chance that at least one member of a 65-year-old couple will live to 92 — and there’s a 25% chance at least one of them will reach age 97. Because you have a rea­ sonably good chance of spending two, or even three, decades in retirement, you clearly need to accumulate substantial financial resources before you retire. So, if you consistently reach the contribution limits on your 401(k) and IRA, you're making a smart move, as children under 18.

The 75-year-old parish­ ioner was arraigned in Kent County District Court and charged with breaking and entering a building. According to the Kent County Sheriff's Department, Spiegel admit­ ted he took less than $100 from collection envelopes in a church safe during three break-ins. Police said Spiegel alleged he took the funds to put the money toward a specific fund at the church. They did not specify the fund. Spiegel was caught by officials at the church, then later turned himself in to police. He was released with­ out posting bond. COOPER Complete Insurance Remediation & Repair * .

The current jet stream pattern, with deep troughing across the Western U.S. and ridging across the east has accentuat­ ed the pattern. The result is record-breaking warmth brought northward from the Gulf States on southerly winds. Characterizing the current warm spell as highly unusual is an understatement, both due to the magnitude of the warmth (recent high tempera­ tures have exceeded 70 degrees Fahrenheit over many areas of the state) and due to its length. For climatological comparison, normal high tem­ peratures during the third week of March range from the mid-30s far north to the MSU Extension, Department of Geography Recent abnormally warm weather has resulted in a verv early start to the growing sea­ son across the Great Lakes Region and much of the Central and Eastern U.S. The trend toward warmer than normal conditions is not new, with above normal mean tem­ peratures observed across Michigan during much of the period back to the middle of November 2011. The winter of 2011-12, from December through February, was the fourth mildest on record. The prolonged warm spell is the result of a persistent jet stream configuration across North America that generally prevented cold. Arctic-origin air masses from moving out of their high-latitude source middle to upper 40s south. Thus, recent temperatures have been running in the range of 20 to 30 degrees or more above normal. Short- and medium-range B forecast guidance strongly suggests a general continua­ tion of the current pattern with warmer and possibly wetter than normal weather likely through the end of the month. Use of the latest forecast information suggests at least the potential for mean temper­ atures this March to exceed the existing record (1945 in most locations) for warmest on record in the state. The abnormal warmth already has or will shortly bring most perennial crops and vegetation out of their protective dormant states. Given that this is taking place two full weeks or more ahead Many Clean, Low-Mile Vehicles! » 4 Many Clean, Low-Mile Vehicles! —— •9 ~ A M of normal, and that the rela­ tive susceptibility of plant tis­ sue to frost and cold damage generally increases w 11 h increasing growth stage, there is an overall elevated risk of cold injury this spring season. Even though current out­ looks for April and the spring season call for more of the same warm pattern across Michigan, further cold weath­ er at some point in the next several weeks is virtually a certainty. The climatological average number of daily spring freeze events (32 degrees Fahrenheit or less) after March in a given season ranges from about eight in the southwest and southeast cor­ ners of the state to more than 20 in interior northern sec­ tions of the state. In terms of hard freezes, the average number of low temperature events of 28 degrees Fahrenheit or less for the same period ranges from four to more than 15. Very cold temperatures are still possible during the month of April, with lows below 10 degrees Fahrenheit in the south to the single digits below zero in the north. It is also worth noting that there is some minor reduction of frost and freeze risk in years with very warm Marches. When only the top 10 warmest Marches were considered, there is an approximate reduction of 10 to 20 percent in the frequency of subsequent freeze events. This is very likely associated with the persistence of the upper air pattern that led to the abnormally warm March weather into April or longer. Finally, there may also be some positive impacts of the unusual weather. Warm tem- peratures will accelerate soil evaporation rates and may allow some early fieldwork opportunities, but this will depend greatly on upcoming rainfall frequency and intensi­ ty (the forecasts generally call for wetter than normal weath­ er). Similarly, depending on weather conditions later this year - especially rainfall pat­ terns - there is at least the possibility that seasonal yields of some crops, such as forages, could be higher due to a potentially longer than normal growing season.

TK Superintendent Gary Rider traveled this week to Lansing with other superintendents from the Kent intermediate School District, One of the key issues for discussion was the mandate for all-day, every-day kindergarten.' The mandate means all districts must have kindergarten and Young 5 students in school all-day, every-day in order to receive full state funding for those students. Rider said TK is still waiting to make a decision about how to proceed with the kindergarten issue. If the mandate continues, TK will lose $900,000 in state revenues if they do not comply, But it will cost about $600,000 to implement the 1 >riT Minis) r bci£ norfT bateD slirlw g lasl )iiulo2 T isbifl lieri&J isbna) rrminl toanO oizzuo rfib-lls ■ naftsg arlT lonttib nariBgkJ irioa ni »bio ni nibrrui piilisw luods id 9fll £bn£m J 3EOl aaunti I 1U0 0.00r)$ agnjsrto f IF4 61 * . •• Bi I. considers warning sirens Rider explained that when the per pupil formula was initiated several years ago by the state, it was acknowl­ by Julie Makarewicz edged and recognized that Staff Writer kindergartners would receive Recent severe weather in the same funding as other other parts of the country as students, even though they well as in Michigan created were only in school half the discussion about the need for time.

He said the cost of the warning system has always made it prohibitive for the village, but he said if there are grants available, it might be a possibility. “It looks to me like it would be worth $20,000 or so for sirens,” said Lytle. “I can’t for the life of me fathom why we don’t have some type of early warning system in place. I think we should be working with the town- ship and the schools and maybe even the county to get this going.” Fleury said new technolo­ gy enables sirens to be acti­ vated off-site. The sirens also can be louder so as to be heard further away. Council member Sue Reyff supported continuing investigation into sirens. “You can’t put a dollar amount on a life, it’s impor­ tant,” Reyff said.

District officials say they are hoping the deficit won’t be that large, but are prepar­ ing budgets based on what is known or assumed and. in some cases, worst case sce­ narios. This could all change again next week," week,” said finance director Chris Marcy. “There are still a lot of unknowns with the state legislature." Superintendent Gary Rider warned board mem­ bers that there are no more easy cuts and any deeper cuts will have an affect on educa­ tion and students. “We’ve been telling you again and again that staff has done a great job doing more with less. Any cuts we make — and it’s important to make people understand this — any cuts we make now will have an impact on quality. We can’t expect more from less over and over and over again. Enough is enough." That’s the message Rider and other administrators will take to Lansing as they con­ tinue try ing to get legislators to resolve educational fund­ ing issues.

For the 2011-12 years, district revenues and expens­ es were close with the dis­ trict only dipping into reserve funds for about $340,000. District officials anticipate a fund balance at the end of the 2011-12 year of about $3.43 million or 12.8 percent of one year's operating budget. If the anticipated deficit for the 2012-13 year is taken directly from fund balance with no additional cuts made, the district's fund bal­ ance will drop to a little more than $1.09 million or about 4 percent. Rider and Marcy said they will continue monitoring actions at the state, carefully watching costs and working on the budget figures.

Representatives from Fleis and Vandenbrink Engineering are expected to attend the council’s commit­ tee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, April 3 with a report and possible proposal. The hope was that, once heavy truck traffic was removed from Main Street, the bricks would settle and stabilize. However, there are still issues with some of the bricks shifting out of place and village council members say they want a permanent solution. Village Manager Rebecca Fleury reminded the council that any resolution should be at no additional cost to the village. She said she believes it will be up to the engineer­ ing and design team to make the situation right. Officials said the brick shifting is not as severe as it has been in past years, but it is still happening to some extent. In other business: • The council was informed of an active inves- tigation concerning the cut­ ting and removal of trees along the Paul Henry Thomapple Trail. More than 60 trees have been cut on the village property along tire trail. • The council was told that Grand Valley Metro Council will have a street van coming to the village to rate the quality of all streets in the village. The van is equipped with technology to photograph and video road conditions and create a data base of the streets. The data base can be used then to pri­ oritize road work. • Council members heard a report that the mild winter allowed the department of public works to use about one-third less road salt and that the salt shed is nearly full for the 2012-13 season. • Council temporarily suspended enforcement for trash, litter or junk ordi­ nances during the annual spring clean up. The suspen­ sion of code enforcement will be from April 21-28 only. • Council approved a one­ time exemption to the con­ tractual pick up time for Republic Services for the spring clean up. This tempo­ rary exemption is from April 21-28. Council approved exemption of fees for ped­ dlers. vendors, transient mer­ chants and solicitors during specific events within* the village including Heritage Days, Farmers Farmers'’ Market, Riverbank Music activities. Green Days, Taste of die and Middleville, Woodpecker Festival. • Council agreed to make a bridge replacement appli­ die cation to the state Department of Transportation to assist with funds and work to replace the Main Street bridge over the Thornapple River. *; la: 1 5* ai*1 .0 $ (Bite .tsp'?

Robertson noted that one of the possibilities being yaw explored is the building of a j *4 plant to serve the area. The estimated cost would be $3-4 million for a plant in the Northwest Sewer District. Another possibility he said is to explore connecting to the North Kent Sewer and Water Authority. A stumbling block to this alternative had been why the communities chose to‘leave the City of Grand Rapids system. The major issue had been the imposition by the city of a per-head charge which, according to Robertson, has now been dropped by the city. ’ Kelly Cavanaugh, a mem­ ber of the Planning Commission, rose during the final public comment period to inform the board of a speed study on M-37 and on Whitneyville Road where the speed limit drops from 55 mph to 35 mph. During the final board comment period Harrison reported •It. that the Independence Day Committee needed volunteer workers. Commenting on issues at Kent County level, the Harrison said the solid waste plan has led to building of a recycling plant.

Like everyone else, you hope to remain physically and financially independent your entire life. And you may well achieve this goal. Nonetheless, the future is not ours to see, so you’ll want to prepare yourself for as many contingencies as possible — one of which is the high cost of long-term care. As you may know, long­ term care primarily refers to nursing home expenses, but it also includes services pro­ vided in your own home. In either case, though, it could be expensive. The national average rate for a private room in a nurs­ ing home was more than $87,000 per year in 2011, according to the 2011 MetLife Market Survey of Long-Term Care Costs. The same survey found that the average private-pay hourly rates for home health aides and homemaker companion services were $21 and $19, respectively. With luck, of course, you won't need to worry about these types of expenses.

McDowell told Goulooze he could speak to his client about the court’s intention. After several minutes in discussion, Goulooze informed McDowell that Grantham Sr. was rejecting the plea agreement and would face a jury of his peers. A trial date was set for June 4. The Sept. 11 incident, as clarified in court last week, occurred when a ■ Barry County Deputy arrived at the Middleville home (in response to the 911 call) and told the subject, who was out­ side the residence, that he was under arrest. The subject resisted and retreated into the house, dragging the deputy with him. The subject's mother allegedly attacked the deputy, and the three of them fell to the floor. The father, who was sleeping, came downstairs and also assault­ ed the deputy. During the altercation, the suspect’s father allegedly punched the deputy in the face multiple times. All three members of the family were assaulting the deputy when the son reportedly tried to take the deputy’s gun from her hol­ ster. The deputy then used a Taser, a five-second burst of 50.000 volts, to subdue the father. Prior to the arrival of other officers, Grantham Jr., Haircuts ‘10.00 ALWAYS .

Grantham Jr., 18, was sen­ tenced for assaulting, resist­ ing or obstructing a police officer, causing injury. He was ordered to serve 12 months in jail, with credit for 194 days served. He was ordered to pay $1,698 in costs and serve 60 months on probation. The last three months of his jail sentence will be suspended upon suc­ cessful completion of drug court. He is to have no con­ tact with the victim and must not display any harassing, intimidating, threatening or assaultive behavior. His par­ ent's home is not an approved residence. Grantham Jr. also must pay $50 a month toward assess­ ments after being released from jail.

The mother who called police, Lisa Marie Grantham, 46, was sentenced for assaulting, resisting or obstructing a police officer, causing injury. She was ordered to serve six months in jail, with credit for one day served. She must pay $1,198 in costs and serve 60 months on probation. The balance of her jail time will be suspended upon success­ ful completion of four months on a tether. She must have no contact with the vic­ tim and pay $75 a month toward court assessments. .............

"From the boat­ ing industry's perspective, boat registrations should be on a slow but steady upward trend as consumer confidence increases and unemployment decreases.

The Department of Public Works plans to collect leaves and yard wastes the 2nd and 4th Monday of the month from April 9, 2012 through October 22, 2012 weather permitting. Grass, leaves, and other yard waste must be in biodegradable paper yard waste bags. Yard waste put out for collection must be free of trash, household wastes, tree root balls and stones. Each bag should contain no more than 50 pounds each. Brush pickup during the calendar year 2012 will occur one day per month during April, May, June, July, August, September and October.

Shefferly listed the two goals scored by both Ashley and Watson Keagan Pontious among the bright spots in the loss, as well as McKinzie Arnold's game opening goal. He added that •II newcomers Brooke Pontious, Jamie Ulanch and Liz Frey all played well in the game against one of the slates toughest teams. Ellery Alexander helped to stabilize the defense in the first half as well. The Scots responded to the loss well, scoring a 25-1 win over West Ottawa in Holland Wednesday, Shefferly said his team was finally hitting on all cylin­ ders.

It’s a good thing then that his team has some of the best sprinters, distance runners and pole vaulters in the O-K Gold Conference. That group of leaders for the Scots includes senior sprinter Alex Schenk, junior sprinter Bryan VanNamen, senior distance runner Mason Przybysz, senior pole vaulters Tom Andreano and Tyler Patterson, and junior hurdler Jake Overway. Andreano was the confer- ence champion in the pole vault last year. “Pole vault is a huge strength." said Remenap. “In the sprints we have some depth and some top-end speed to stay competitive. Mason (Przybysz) should be one of the top distance run­ ners in the conference." The Scots are hoping for good things out of its large group of varsity newcomers, especially junior jumper Gabe Jordan and sophomore sprinter Landon Tompkins. Caledonia might be try in to make up points in some flights as a number of throw­ ers aren’t returning to the team this season.

Now the Scots hope to remain at that level in the league while improving upon •It their state standing. “We have improved our schedule with some top tier games and tournaments,” said Fighting Scots head coach Ralph Shefferly. “We are in the toughest division for the state tournament, with East Grand Rapids, Grand Rapids Catholic Central and Okemo^. This makes it very important that we play tougher competition and have our young kids fig­ ure out how to play this game at an elevated level.” The Fighting Scots reached the regional finals of the postseason tournament a year ago, falling to the even­ tual state champions from Grand Rapids Catholic Central. Shefferly said his team gained valuable experi­ ence during that run through the state tournament. The girls that are back from that team include soph­ omore midfielders Keagan Pontious and Ashley Watson who both earned honorable mention All-State honors last year. They were also joined on the all-conference team by Ellery Alexander, who is back for her senior season on defense for the Scots. Sophomore defender Matti Hisey and junior attacker McKinzie Arnold were both honorable men­ tion all-conference a year ago as well. Other key returnees for the Scots include junior defender Jacquie Andreano, sopho­ more goalkeeper Helene Miller and senior attacker Emily DeVries. Adding their talents to the varsity for the first time this spring are sophomore attack­ er Savannah Monroe, sopho­ more midfielder Tori Alexander, senior defender Brooke Pontious, junior mid- i k M I The 2012 Caledonia varsity girls’ lacrosse team. fielder Liz Frey, junior mid­ fielder Jamie Ulanch and junior defender Kendra Venema. The Scots are currently 12 on the season, they fell in Good attitude helping shift by Brett Bremer Sports Editor There are many changes for the Caledonia varsity boys’ lacrosse team this spring, and most of them are good ones. Fighting Scot head coach Yevgeniy Gevorkyan said there is a much more positive attitude in practice so far. “A new offensive scheme should allow for a lot of opportunities to move the ball around, and a new defensive scheme should help us shut down offensive play-makers,” said Gevorkyan. There are a lot of experi­ enced players back to help execute the new schemes. The group includes junior attackers Cameron Fosburg •It and Jonathan Mirque, senior midfielders Kyle Schutt and Sean Murphy, junior face-off specialist Jared Johnson, senior defender Jake Whitney and sophomore defender Matt Smotrilla as well as senior goalie Chris Poff. Gevorkyan said he sees his team with strong starters at all the positions, but depth may be an issue later in the season. “With about 22 players on varsity, we need to make sure we’re healthy and eligi­ ble throughout the year,” Gevorkyan said. The Scots will also need some solid contributions from some new varsity play­ ers including sophomore midfielder Justin Lilley, jun- by Brett Bremer Sports Editor The young Caledonia var­ sity baseball team won just seven ballgames a season ago, but a year of experience has the Scots hoping for bet­ ter things ahead. The group of guys who picked up some much need­ ed varsity playing time a sea­ son ago and is returning this spring includes senior first baseman Kail Venema, jun- ior outfielder Heath Hoogerhyde, senior third basemen Alex Holzgen and Josh Chandler, senior out­ fielders Murphy Esterley and Ben Dean, and senior pitch­ ers Joe Imburgia and Ethan Merrill. While there is more expe­ rience around the diamond than a year ago, second-year Fighting Scot head coach Pat Gillies said that his team is still young at some key posi•it: tions this season. The varsity team is look­ ing for solid contributions from junior shortstop Mike TeRoller and junior pitcher Luke Ganzevoort. Coach Gillies is hoping that the Scots' experience will help them perform better late in ballgames this season.

Caledonia is 1-2 so far this season, having opened the year with a win over South Christian’s new varsity team before falling 9-3 to Holland Christian Tuesday and 12-6 to Grand Rapids Christian Thursday. Grand Rapids Christian should be battling with the likes of Lowell, Northview and Grand Rapids Catholic Central for the top spots in the conference this spring. Gevorkyan said he hopes his team earns a place among the top teams in the league this spring after a seventh-place finish last year. “We’re planning on win- Scot baseball happy to have more experience this spring their opener with Portage Northern, then lost a tough contest with Grand Rapids Catholic Central this week before bouncing back with a lop-sided win over West ■BH ■ -« uni iria | fiAai: 1 iieii/ ’ksiti \ * - ’ ■ ____ __ w with all-conference, all-state and academic all-state recog­ nition.” The Fighting Scots head to Ionia for a contest Saturday afternoon, then will be off « ■ iioqiI ■ -z» • until after spring break.

Caledonia has a strong senior class graduate last spring, and head coach Steve Sanxter said nearly every team in the conference will be better than it was a year ago. “Our number one goal is to compete to the best of our ability every day," Sanxter said. “If we are able to accomplish that, we will compete for conference and district championships.” The Scots did lose a good senior class, but there are a lot of leaders and strong players left over from the team that was 19-3 overall last spring. The group is led by senior goalkeeper Ryan Zourdos and junior forwards Corrie Good and Kendra Stauffer. Stauffer and Good both scored more than 20 goals a season ago. group The midfield includes junior Sam Maher and sophomores Rubina Veerakone and Alena Olsen. Junior Sarah Spees and soph­ omore Olivia Clipfell are back to lead the defense, which could be in front of sophomore keeper Brooke Hubbel at times she takes over in net rather than play­ ing at a forward spot.

That group of nine includes senior outfielders Emily Kimes, Kim Burleson. Kaycee Lee and Katie Homan as well as senior first baseman Ali Tegg. The other four varsity returnees are girls who played on the varsity a year ago as freshmen, sophomore pitcher/third baseman Morgan Swift, pitcher/shortstop Whitney Denton, and second baseman/catchers Andrea Gerloski and Sarah Austin.

Jessica Tamburrino and Andrusiak Abigail are returning to the doubles line­ up for the Scots as well this season. Tamburrino teamed with Emily Short to win the sec­ ond doubles championship Friday. Kendal Wilson and Aubrie Zuiderveen took the third doubles championship while Emily Bont and Maria Chase teamed up to win at fourth doubles. On the singles side, the Scots have two of their top three back from a year ago. Paige Pontious and Katrina Carter are each moving up a flight to take over the first and second singles positions respectively. Julia Lopez took over at third singles Friday and won the Scots’ lone singles cham­ pionship at Ramblewood. The Scots finished the day at Ramblewood with 20 points.

It was the kind of loss where much is gained though. Plainwell won the Division 2 state champi­ onship a year ago, and returns a very strong team once again. “It was a hard fought, physical game with numer­ ous injury stoppages and every loose ball contested,” •I« said Fighting Scot head coach Steve Sanxter. Brooke Hubbel was out­ standing in goal in the first half for the Scots, making six saves. Ryann Zourdos was just as sharp in the second half in net for the Scots, but one perfectly placed blast by the Trojans’ Lauren Saar snuck by her with 17 minutes left to play. Coach Sanxter said that Rubina Veerakone and Sam Maher continued their high level of play, displaying great skills against a physical opponent. He added that Alena Olsen was strong in the defensive midfield. McKenna Maynard was a big contributor on defense as well, and Sarah Spees played through a tough hit to log 80 minutes in the game. “The entire team played with great spirit and effort and should be proud of how they represented Lady Cal Soccer," Sanxter said. r 4. ft" ■p 7!

Caledonia created several great opportunities in the first half, but had trouble putting the ball in the net against Lowell. Kendra Stauffer hit the post midway through the half and had another strong effort tipped over the bar by the keeper. The game remained score­ less until less than two min­ utes to play in the half. Jozwik made a strong carry to the end line, and centered a spot-on ball to a sliding Veerakone who knocked it in for a 1-0 half-time lead. In the opening minute of the second half Stauffer, who along with Good, gave Lowell fits all evening, beat two defenders and fired a crisp shot, that was denied by the Lowell keeper. Maher buried the rebound though for a quick 2-0 lead. Ten minutes later, Jozwik connected on a great header goal off a well-played cross from Veerakone. Olivia Clipfell capped the scoring off a nice ball from Maher to make it 4-0. and Hubbel Zourdos shared the shut out behind a strong defense. Returning veterans Spees and Clipfell led the effort with strong support from Maynard, Annika Hoekstra, Lexi Bush and Natalie Avery. The Scot defense did not allow a shot attempt in the second half. l>' if U 1 J i by Brett Bremer Sports Editor Thomapple Kellogg varsi­ ty baseball coach Jack Hobert won't soon forget his first contest leading the Trojan program. The Trojans battled through 13 innings with Hamilton in Middleville Wednesday before finally falling 13-12 13-12 to the Hawkeyes. Twice the Trojans had to rally with two outs in the bot­ tom half of an inning just to extend the game. TK trailed 9-5 heading into the bottom of the seventh, and rallied for four runs to tie things up and send the game to extra innings. Hamilton struck first in extra innings, scoring three times in the top of the 11th. Again with two out, the Trojans scored three ties to tie the bailgame. Hamilton eventually tacked on a single run in the 13th that the Trojans couldn't match. Garrett Harris had the two-run double with two out in the seventh inning that tied things up. In the 1 1th. it was freshman Dalton Phillips who drilled the tworun single that tied the game again. Harris finished the day 2for-5 with two walks and two runs scored as well as the two RBI. TK's offense also got a 3-for-4 performance from Dylan VanPutten, who also had two RBI and two walks as well as a sacrifice fly. TK had a chance to score the winning run a couple of times in extra innings. The Trojans put a runner on sec- ond with one out in the eighth and again in the tenth, but failed to drive him home. “This team has got a ton of fight, we've just got to start a little quicker,” said Hobert. TK gave up three unearned runs in the first inning, then battled back to take a 5-3 lead after four innings. Hamilton then fought back to take a 9-5 lead with four runs in the sixth inning and single runs in the fifth and seventh. VanPutten stared on the mound for TK, and didn't give up an earned run in his four innings of work. Harris threw well for the Trojans, allowing just two earned runs in sixth and a third. It was Phillips who took the loss in the 13th. * 'to hip Bitt TK finally runs out of rallies in the 13th against Hamilton Sunday, April 8th & Sunday, May 13th $ J 6 £ Caledonia’s Sam Maher heads the ball forward as Plainwell’s Shelby Hubbell clos­ es in and Hope Pell looks on from behind during Wednesday’s non-conference con­ test.

Most concerns came from neighbors in the Bryanwood Estates subdivision, directly north of Bradford White, during the rezoning hearing for a portion of the site. concerned Neighbors were > _ about noise, lights, traffic and vibrations from the expanded site and wanted to make certain their residential properties were adequately screened and protected from their industrial neighbor. “I think their (the neigh­ bors') quality of life from what they have now will improve and I hope we've covered everything in the 0 0 Thornapple Township Emergency Services chief Dave Middleton, (right) and Lt. Bret Laitila, show some of the fire and emergency response equipment the depart­ ment has been able to purchase recently with grant funds. Items purchased include a mechanical CPR device, LifePak 15 to help monitor heart rates, oxygen levels, blood pressure and other vital statistics, a hydraulic lift stretcher, and a stair chair. In all, the equipment represents more than $100,000 received in grants for emer- gency equipment. by Julie Makarewicz Staff Writer More than $280,000 in grant funds since 2007 has Thornapple helped Emergency Township Services (TTES)purchase life-saving equipment and get the most out ot its budg­ et. Supervisor Township Don Boysen said he believes the department has used tax­ payer dollars wisely and has been able to provide match­ ing dollars for large federal rd ioM I IflBTg bsqtori inwoT srit lag tfd z/oT noG pb aril ) lavEtj ob^nr grants. In the past five years, the department has received grants totaling more than $280,000 from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and Homeland Security. The department has only had to supply matching dollars of about $14,000 to secure the grants. Township Thornapple January officials in approved seeking a threeyear renewal of the 1.5 mills Vandenbrink said brick work done in the crosswalks and at the St. James street intersec­ tion appear in good shape. Engineers hoped that elimination of heavy truck traffic this year on Main Street would alleviate the brick shifting issues. Although it helped, especialat Church C h u rc h Street, ly Vandenbrink said there are still real concerns for the High Street intersection. Vandenbrink said his company will pay all the costs associated with the High Street intersection. If the village wants both High and Church intersections redone, he suggested sharing the cost.

Eric Lannes, executive vice president and general manager of Bradford White, said he wants to work with the neighbors and the village. “We'll do everything we can to work with the neigh­ bors," Lannes promised. Some of the details pre­ sented by Bradford White include installing a different type of warehouse construc­ tion using tilt up concrete walls. This concrete wall panel system is significantly more dense. In addition to the 9 1/4-inch to 11 1/4-inch thick concrete wall panels, there will be at least two inches of insulation to help provide a more sound-deafening wall system, The company also agreed not to install or operate a public address system in the new warehouse area and efforts will be made to com­ pact the truck parking lot area to dampen sound and vibrations. The village requires a 30foot buffer line from the property, but Bradford White will increase that to a 40-foot buffer. There will be an 3foot berm with an 8-foot staggered board white plastic fence along the top of the berm. In addition, there will be trees planted on top of the berm that again exceed the village requirements. The elevation of the north side of the trailer parking lot will be increased about 2 feet to fur­ ther obscure the vehicles from view and help reduce sound. Bradford White officials said they are also committed to reducing lighting as much as possible. Lights used will be two-panel LED fixtures with shut off availability on each fixture. The lights may also be dimmed when there is no activity or limited activity. Bradford White was also successful recently in getting a zoning board of appeals variance for parking spaces, allowing the company to have 697 spaces, instead of the required 801 by village ordinances. Company officials say they have only 562 spaces currently and, even with an estimated 40 new workers, they will still have more than enough parking space. Lannes told council mem­ bers earlier that the company must make these large changes in order to comply with new federal regulations governing how water heaters are made and distributed. distributed, In This Issue • Middleville council considers sound system for meeting room • Orangeville Township board wary of lake association request • New code enforcement officer is on the job in Middleville • Waste water treatment duties may be added to village staff i V I « 1 4 A 4 4 • * �Page 2/The Sun and News, Saturday, April 7, 2012 I GRANT, continued from page 1 The grants allowed TTES to purchase equipment to help the department operate more efficiently, provide bet­ ter safety for firefighters and EMTs and add life-saving equipment for patients. The department received grants in 2007, in 2010, and has been notified of awards for 2011 but not yet received funding. The department is anx­ iously awaiting award of $48,650 in funds promised in 2011. Those funds will be used to purchase a rapid intervention pack for EMTs, a thermal imaging camera for fires, a respiratory-fit testing machine, a hose decontaminating machine and a hose management sys­ tem. "Federal grants are not just automatically awarded,” added Middleton. “Each emergency service agency in the country can make appli­ cation for these grants. Since 2007, we have been fortunate to have paramedic/firefighter Bret Laitila writing the grant applications. He’s done an outstanding job of seeking these federal dollars for our department. "We just wouldn’t be able to afford these kind of things without grants.” Laitila said he spends 3040 hours on each grant appli­ cation. "It takes a lot of time and a lot of research to get all the information,” he said. So far, Laitila said, the effort has paid off with huge rewards not only for the department but for residents needing emergency services.

Saturday. April 7. 2012/ Page 3 Orangeville Township board wary of lake association request by Fran Faverman Staff Writer Jim Riehl, president of the Lake Gun Lake Protective Association, presented to the Orangeville Township Board of Trustees Tuesday evenin I a request for township partic­ ipation in a contract with the Barry County Sheriff's Department for extra patrols on Gun Lake. Riehl began his presenta­ tion explaining that the asso­ ciation needed the township to participate as an interme­ diary because the sheriff s department cannot contract with a private entity like the GLPA but only with other governmental agencies. Two contracts would be involved; the first is the township with the department and the sec­ ond is the township with the GLPA. Riehl said his group is willing to pay the $2,000 up front to the township and have the township pay the invoices from the depart­ ment. He added that this year the GLPA board of directors ^*1" Si' s*** S, Qi* S'*» S7' e 15 v it’ JJ loti A fin S Si Hl •I. ’Si II !*0 k J Jog] .IV ‘ * i.v hours. It has averaged 500 hours; other lakes also need to be patrolled. There are over 300 lakes in Barry County; only some get patrols.” Supervisor Township Tom Rook entered the dis­ •It cussion, asking about the source of the funds Riehl said the money is from dues and donations and go into the GLPA general fund. Alluding to the pro­ posed use of $2,000, Rook continued, “Are you at liberty to use those funds for that pur,iCl *se?”• _ The response from Riehl was the bylaws give the board full authority. Township Trustee Robert Perino, referring to the recent newsletter from the association, said dues were used for the directory, maintaining a fishery, fireworks and the natural shoreline protection project with the Michigan Department of •J Environmental Quality. “I agree with the concerns of the Yankee Springs Township board,” cottoned Perino, “which I understand asked for more information, asking the people for this new activity by the GLPA.” Focusing on the relation­ ship Orangeville has with Yankee Springs, he said, “We share zoning on the lakefront with them.” Carefully saying that he was expressing only his opinion, Perino commented. 44 I’m not sure I want to do this.” He said Yankee Springs Janice Township Clerk Lippert had said she was willing to post a public notice for a meeting to discuss the issue. He suggested a special meeting of the GLPA membership or a survey to provide a signal that the extra patrols are what the had decided to invest a small amount and see how it worked. The extra patrols would be especially important for safe­ ty reasons, he said, during the fireworks display to keep boats a safe distance from the launching site. Closing his remarks, Riehl said the proposed arrangement has been used on several lakes in Oakland County and on a lake in Kent County. Sgt. Julie Jones, com­ mander of the Barry County Marine Patrol, indicated that the request for extra patrols by the GLPA was not a reflection of any budgetary issues affecting the depart­ ment. She noted that her division is funded primarily by a grant from the Michigan Natural Department of Resources. Township Orangeville Trustee Linda Ribble asked, “How do you pick the hours to patrol? Is it standard?” *4 Jones responded. Gun Lake gets the majority of the New code enforcement officer is on the job in Middleville by Julie Makarcwicz Staff Writer Rocky Adams says com­ munication is the key to suc­ cess in his new role as parttime code enforcement offi­ cer for the village of Middleville. Adams started working for the village within the last month and said he's pleased with cooperation from resi­ dents and the overall attrac­ tiveness of the community. Part of his job, Adams said, is simply to work with the community residents and to help educate them about the village ordinances and requirements. Adams said having a cooperative attitude helps get the job done. Adams, who lives south of the village, works about •II 10 hours per week for the vil­ lage. He is generally avail­ able on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but is flexible with hours as needed.

Middleville United Methodist Church (J®# a BnW’ -T. t; A association would not be charged for patrols if the weather was bad; he noted that some years the number of patrol hours on the lake was lower because the weather w as bad. Jerry Artz, GLPA vice president, said the $2,000 would pay for about 67 hours * - 1 ", of patrol time. Returning to the issue of financing the cost. Perino noted. “This is not a normal general fund expenditure.” Supervisor Rook said, “[Thisl situation compares to a special assessment; I want input from residents.” Goy supported him. say­ ing a petition was a possibil­ ity; she said she wants to know what members think. She also noted that the spe­ cial assessment process requires approval of 51 per­ cent of those affected. Rook brought the discussion to a close, recommending that the request be tabled for 30 days until the next board meeting May I. In the meantime, he said he will consult the township attor­ ney. Rook also said he would bring up the special assess­ ment process. A concern for him is that the* extra patrols could result in a decline in GLPA membership as members leave because they are unhappy with the extra patrols and the use of their dues to fund them. Ribble added that she had received several calls as had Perino. “People are offended by not knowing,” Ribble said. During a public comment period. Riehi brought up the issue of funneling, which is a term for lake residents allowing non-residents to keep boats at the residents' docks. Riehl said knowledge of ownership of the offending boats was needed; the associ- Rocky Adams Fles ‘Market fl''* membership wants. M ark Resident asked who Paradowski decides the hours for marine patrols. Perino said that was not what the township was being asked: the township is being asked to act as the banker. Riehl objected, saying, “We'd never get anythin: done if we had to go to the -4 membership for eventhing. It would push it into next year.” His remark refers to the annual meeting which this year is scheduled for Aug. 11 at the Gun Lake Community Chapel; it is the only meeting of the membership scheduled yearly. He added that only about 100 people show- up from a membership of about 1,022 families. “I feel there should be input from the membership, membership,"” said Alex Liceaga, associa associa-­ tion member. ““I approve of what has happened with Orangeville Island.” Riehl interjected, "We are asking to enforce the laws of the State of Michigan.” Liceaga continued, “Dues are to be used for the lake. We need more weed clean­ ing. There are ample patrols on the lake.” Capt. Bill Johnson, who had previously commanded the marine patrol, said, “We are willing to provide it, but it means hiring another parttime person. We are not going to short Gun Lake. These would be extra patrols; we never approached anybody — they approached us.” Township Orangeville Clerk Jennifer Goy asked if it would be for the Fourth of July. Riehl said it was also for other times and cited speed boats and safety reasons. Johnson added that the 0® Items can be dropped off at the church on Thursday, April 12th.

Middleville had contract­ ed with United Water for treatment water waste which responsibilities assigned Charlie Miller, a former village employee, as its liaison with the village. But United Water informed the village in October 2011 that it would no longer be servicing municipalities the size of Middleville. United Water sold some of its contracts, including the Middleville contract, but that was not acceptable to the village council. The council sought pro­ posals for contracts with other firms and received two bids.

Council members said backup is also available through the villagecontracted engineering firm in case additional expertise is required. Lutz and council member Ed Schellinger said they would rather see the village continue contracting with a professional firm at this time. If approved as a village employee. Miller will work 30 hours at the waste water treatment plant and 10 hours per week in the department of public works. Council will members will consider action at their next council meeting April 10.

Currently, the village pays about $150,000 to United Water for 30 hours of work. Village Manager Rebecca Fleury said village officials also calculated what it would cost to hire existing water plant manger, Charlie Miller, as a full-time, non-union vil­ lage employee. Fleury said a contract with pay and bene­ fits would cost the village about $151,000 for 40 hours of work. But some village council members said they were con­ cerned that it leaves the vil­ lage without a backup or expertise if needed. “I know Charlie is a responsible person, but we need protection and we need backup in case Charlie gets sick or is on vacation,” said Facebook 9351 Cherry Valley Caledonia Village Centre Saturday, April 14th 5:00-7:00pm % $ L1 - *>', I1 •" * ‘4^ > I Z- * Jfl I Any questions call...

That’s not a lot of time, but if you have some money available, and you haven’t completely funded your IRA for 2011, consider I doing so before the deadline. And once you’ve “maxed out” on your IRA for last year, why not get a jump on 2012? Actually, you could have started contributing to your 2012 IRA as early as Jan. 2. In fact, if you can get into the habit of fully funding your IRA each January, you'll give your money 15 extra months of growth potential, as opposed to waiting until mid-April of the following year. If you factor in all the years you’ll be contributing to your IRA before you retire, those extra months of growth opportunities, repeat­ ed over decades, could end up providing you with a fair amount of extra cash when you start tapping into your IRA at retirement. v1 W *< Of course, you may not find it all that easy to come up with the full IRA contri­ bution amount at one time. (In 2012, you can put up to $5,000 into a Roth or tradi­ tional IRA, or $6,000 if you’re 50 or older.) But if you look at your entire finan­ cial picture, you may be able to think of some resources. Here are a few suggestions: • Put your tax refund to work. In 2011, the average tax refund was about •II. $3,000, according to the IRS. If you received that amount in 2012, and you applied it toward your IRA, you would already have met half the contribution limit (if you are 50 or older) or more than half (if you’re younger than 50). • Take advantage of inter­ est payments or dividends. If you own income-producing investments, you may find that they can help you fund your IRA early. For exam­ ple, if you own dividend­ paying stocks, and you don't typically reinvest the divi­ dends, consider putting some of these funds into your IRA.

If you receive •It a windfall, such as a bonus from your employer or a gift of cash, think about putting it into your IRA. If none of these options present themselves, and you can’t afford to write out a big check to fund your IRA very early in the year, do the best you can to reach the contri­ •It bution limit as soon as possi ­ ble. To make this happen, consider setting up a monthly automatic transfer from your checking or savings account into your IRA. Even if you were to divide these transfers into 15 equal pay­ ments totaling $5,000 (or $6,000 if you’re 50 or older), you would still be funding your IRA more quickly than if you would have scrambled to contribute in the last few months before the tax filing deadline. No matter when you do it, fully funding your IRA is a great way to help build resources for retirement. But the earlier, the better — so do whatever you can to beat that tax deadline each year.

Through this initiative, the DNR will work with property owners who are trespassing by having either a permanent structure or historical encroachment on public land. Property owners with known encroachments on public land will be notified by letter from the DNR that they are eligible to resolve their case without penalty through the ERI. Property owners adjacent to public land who are not sure whether they are encroaching may use tools on the DNR website (www.michigan.gov /dnr-encroachment) to deter­ mine if they are, in fact, tres­ passing on state-managed land. “I asked our staff to come up with a creative, customerfocused way of resolving some of our most difficult encroachment situations,” said DNR Director Rodney Stokes. “The Encroachment Resolution Initiative reaches out to residents with a real, workable solution. It will help us appropriately docu- ment public land ownership and resolve those trespass cases that tie up substantial staff time and resources and make land-management issues more challenging for the state.” Locally, the DNR owns property in Thornapple, Irving, Yankee Springs, Rutland, Orangeville and Hope townships Under the ERI, property owners who are encroaching on public land managed by the DNR can, starting May 1, apply to have their cases resolved. Applications will be accepted until Dec. 31. During this amnesty period, DNR staff will work with property owners to properly document ownership. If a property owner can show that his or her encroachment was in place prior to March 1, 1973, (in keeping with a 1988 amend­ ment of the Revised Judicature Act), the property will be transferred to the property owner after a new property survey is completed and new boundaries are established, Structural encroachments which have occurred after March 1, 1973, will be resolved through land sales. The DNR will streamline its land sale process for encroachment cases being resolved through the ERI. HOST FAMILIES to host exchange students from ASSE International Student Exchange Programs. Many countries to choose from. Contact TERESA WEYER at 616-560-1893 or teresa.weyer@yahoo.com . 8 Individuals with non­ structural encroachments, such as fences, gardens, sheds or other non-permanent structures, occurring on public land after March 1, 1973, will need to remove the items. By providing a stream­ lined and legal process to resolve their trespass without penalty, the Encroachment Resolution Initiative is intended as an incentive pro­ gram for property owners encroaching on public land. Throughout the duration of the ERI, the DNR will not seek penalties or take esca­ lated enforcement action for any encroachments that are resolved by Dec. 31. After the application peri­ od closes Dec. 31, any exist­ ing or new cases of encroachment that were not brought forward will be dealt with through DNR encroach­ ment and enforcement proce­ dures. “We sincerely hope that anyone currently encroach­ ing on public land will take advantage of this opportunity to resolve trespass situa­ tions,” said Stokes. “Public land is intended to be just that - land available for the use and enjoyment of the public. Such encroachments reduce everyone’s ability to enjoy the state’s natural resources that should be freely accessible to residents and visitors, alike.” Individuals with questions about the ERI should contact Lori Burford, DNR encroachment specialist, at 989-275-5151, ext. 2100, or via email at burfordl@michigan.gov.

Justin Amash (R-MI) with its “Taxpayers’ Friend Award” for 2011. NTU gave Amash the highest rating for any freshman representative and any member of the Michigan congressional delegation. “By casting principled votes for limited government time and again, Justin Amash has led by example in the fight to defend overburdened taxpayers across the coun­ try,” said NTU President Duane Parde. “If every mem­ ber of Congress voted as carefully as Justin Amash, current and future genera­ tions of Americans could enjoy much lower taxes and a less wasteful government. Hard-working families in Michigan and across the nation owe Justin Amash a debt of gratitude for his effort on their behalf. Justin Amash has truly earned the title ‘Taxpayers’ Friend. The award is given to rep­ resentatives and senators who achieve an “A” grade in NTU’s annual rating of con­ gress. The rating, which is based on every roll call vote affecting fiscal policy, assigns a “taxpayer score” to each member of Congress that indicates his or her sup­ port for reducing or control­ ling federal spending, taxes, debt and regulation. For 2011, a total of 337 House and 234 Senate votes were selected. Amash’s score of 91 per­ cent made him the most pro­ taxpayer freshman and the sixth most pro-taxpayer rep­ resentative overall. He also received the top score in the Michigan delegation. The average House score was 50 percent, and a total of 53 Congressmen received the award based on a minimum score of 85 percent in the House and 90 percent in the Senate. “I came to Washington to address the federal govern­ ment’s unsustainable debt and to remove barriers to growth,” said Amash. “I’m honored to receive this recognition of my consistent record in favor of limited government and economic freedom.” M''1- to tea iitti U<1 fata &! ad \\. /I--: si tb k •■■■■■■I ill Call 269-945-9554 for Sun & News classified ads -- -■ -**»........ - - nr Md< ■ — - "r.- • The Oasis Hot Tub Gardens —' - - .-hngwi a • Palermo Pizza * DR.

Hamilton is making the move to singles after playing on the doubles side earlier in her varsity career. “The senior leadership is excellent,” said Seger. “We have good singles players reluming with a younger group of improved doubles players. The team chemistry is very good.

Senior pitcher Dylan VanPutten, a pitcher and first baseman, is the lone return­ ing regular from that squad. Hobert said he is also expecting varsity returnees Caden Francisco and Cody Ybema to step up into larger roles this season, with Francisco in center field and Ybema taking over at catch­ er. A couple of the key new­ comers to the squad are the young double-play combo of freshman second baseman Dalton Phillips and sopho­ shortstop Garrett more Harris.

I’ve just got to get them to believe." Although they didn’t show it in their season opener, Hobert said he believes that the Trojans will have a solid defense this year, The biggest question will be who can step up offensively. TK returns to action with the O-K Gold Conference opening doubleheader at Grand Rapids Catholic Central Tuesday, then will host the Cougars for one game Thursday.

Her goal this spring is to try and help lead the Thomapple Kellogg varsity girls' track and field team to the kinds of successes it had under long-time head coach Tammy Benjamin. Kanitz takes over the head coaching duties for the program after three years as an assistant with the team. The overall team goals remain the same, contend for a conference championship, have a strong regional show­ ing and qualify for the MITCA Team State Championships, and send a number of girls to the MHSAA State Finals. A few girls who have already been to the MHSAA State Finals are back to lead the way for the Trojans this spring. Senior Erin Ellinger was a two-time state medal­ ist last spring, placing sev­ enth in both the discus and the shot put. She was the OK Gold Conference champi­ on in the discus, and the run­ ner-up in the shot put. She returns along with sister Aimee Ellinger, who was third in the league in the shot put last year. On the track the Trojans are led by junior distance runner Casey Lawson, who ran with the Trojans’ 3200meter relay team at the state finals last year.

Juniors Demi Scott and Holley Tripp were all­ conference performers last spring for the Trojans in the O-K Gold. Scott will lead the defense and Tripp was the team’s top goal-scorer last year. Juniors Hayley Balsitis at center midfield, Sydnee Boonstra at a wing, and Alaina Pohl on defense are I a back as well. Sophomore Kelli Graham will fill time at forward and sophomore Erin Scheidel returns to another position on the wing. A group of five juniors and four sophomores are new to the varsity this year.

All four of those sophomores moved up to the varsity for district play a year ago, and Strickland said all four con­ tributed to the team then. “I think they will fit into the system well this year,” he added. Strickland said he likes his team’s depth, and that he would feel confident with any of the girls in the game. The Trojans sat down before the season and talked about goals, finishing in the top half of the O-K Gold was a big one, and even more important is to be in games. 66 We want to compete with everybody in our conference this year, and play hard the entire game, same.” Strickland said, South Christian, f i I— I w I I Mh Caledonia and Forest Hills Eastern all return strong squads and are expected to lead the way in the league.

They are currently 1-1 on the year. TK opened the sea­ son with a 2-0 loss to Northview March 22, but bounced back to shut out Allegan 5-0 on the road March 27. Tripp had two goals in the win, and Dalton, Scheidel and Ziccarello had one each. Totten made eight saves in goal against the Tigers.

Trojan head coach bob Kaminski, who’s entering his eighth season leading the program, said he sees seniors Kegan Thomas and Josh VanSickie taking over the top two spits in his team’s line-up with fellow senior Alex Koetsier also among the top four players on the team. They’ll likely be joined on the course most days by jun­ ior Ben Jazwinski and senior Graham Li nee who’ll be playing their first varsity rounds. Overall Kaminski feels having that top three, and a total of four or five seniors in the varsity line-up should provide for some good expe­ rience out on the course. “We have some new play — ers that have not played on the team before,” Kaminski said. “I think they will play very well for us, but they Bard Bloom, O.D.

In 2004, Enslen was hired by TK as middle school assistant principal and athlet­ ic director. In 2005, he became principal at Lee Elementary School c« until becoming assistant superin­ tendent in 2007. Throughout his education­ al career. Enslen said he has taught every subject except physical education and at every grade level. He's also coached many sports • » includ­ ing baseball, basketball, softball, wrestling, football and soccer. “After 28 years, here I am.” said Enslen during his interview. “When I started, I never aspired to be even a principal. I just wanted to teach and coach. But recent­ ly, I’ve come to an emotion­ al point and I want to be the superintendent here al TK. This is where I want to retire. This is a district I want to lead. “I live here, h's a commu­ nity where I've invested 25 years. I have been an admin­ istrator for eight years. I've been part of the planning, challenges, and hurdles of the district and I have a gen­ uine sense of the district.” When asked what he would like to accomplish in his first 100 days as superin­ tendent. Enslen said he wants to listen. “I would have a listening campaign first,” said Enslen. “While I have a good sense of this district and communi­ ty* my j°b is to be meeting with constituent groups and finding out their thoughts and their visions.” Enslen completed a super­ intendent preparation series academy by the Michigan Leadership Institute in 2011. As part of that class, he was assigned the task of prepar­ ing a first 90-day action plan and said he realizes the importance of Jistenin % to community, administrators and staff. Enslen said the most Cl important role of a superin­ tendent is overall manage­ ment of the district. “A superintendent has to set the vision and mission of the district and let it be known to all,” he said. Monitoring student achievement, building posilive relations, being fiscally responsible, and overseeing the district are all functions Enslen mentioned as a super­ intendent's role. Each candidate was also asked for their definition of “integrity.” Enslen said his is a combination of virtuous qualities. “You get up every day and do what’s right, regardless of consequences,” he said. Enslen talked about being proud of his accomplishment to develop triangulated map­ ping as a means of better assessing students by looking at a variety of scores and achievements. He also dis­ cussed working on common assessments for teacher eval­ uations, improving use of technology as a tool for stu- dents and not just as a new gadget, communicating with the community, and being active and visible in the com­ Ct ­ munity. He said it's impor tant to gel the “good word” out about the district. - ‘•Teachers are feeling and bashed attacked,” summed up Enslen. “My job would be to help them with it. It would be privately and publicly recognizing them and helping them realize that what they do is more than noble.” Enslen said he would like his legacy at TK to be known simply as an advocate for all kids. “h's that simple. That's why we re here.” Cindy Weber Cindy Weber has been superintendent at Durand Area Schools in Durand since 2007. Her prior posi­ tion was assistant superin­ tendent of curriculum and instruction, technology and personnel from 2005-07 at Shoreham - Wading River Central School District in New York. She also served as the assistant superintend­ ent for secondary education at Liverpool Central School district in Liverpool, New York from 1996-2005. Weber began her career as a business instructor at Vassar High School from 1974-76 then moved to Marlette Community School from 1976-81. Weber also served as director of career and technical education for the Midland County Intermediate School District and was principal /superin­ tendent for Windover High School from 1981-96. Weber grew up near Benton Harbor/St. Joseph and said she wants to return to this area to be near family. Her husband is a retired superintendent. The couple has two children and four grandchildren living in West Michigan. “I know what a wonderful district this is.” said Weber. “When this opportunity became available, I knew I wanted to apply.” In her first 100 days, Weber said she would do a lot of listening and getting to know the community and people. “I need to get to know people and understand the culture of the district,” she pointed out. "I would real I \ Ma V listen to the people.” She identified the most important aspects of a superintendent as making: sure everything runs smoothly in the district. “A superintendent wears many hats. You have to be versatile, attend activities, and have a pulse on the com­ munity and the budget.” Weber said a superintend­ ent also needs to be a cheer­ leader for the district and for its people and she said it's important for a superintend­ ent to help boost morale. “Morale in education is at a low,” said Weber. “It's important that we thank peo­ ple for what they do and encourage the staff whenever we can.” She also said a superin­ tendent needs to be both a leader and a manager. “A leader has vision and shares that vision w ith every­ one. ” Weber commented. “A leader is someone who researches and finds what's going on and shares it with staff and the district. A man­ ager is someone who makes sure day-to-day operations are happening. You have to be both ' She was asked to define “integrity.” At I think integrity is your word,” she replied, “It's the most important thing to me that, if I tell you something, it is true and I will do what I say I will do. ” As a superintendent, Weber said she has imple­ mented many programs to assist at-risk students includ­ ing summer school, after­ school recovery classes, and alternative schools. “And I'm always looking for more,” she added. Weber said technology is a tool and that it's important for students to come to school and to use technolo­ gy66 It s important to incor­ porate technology but not just for the sake of using maintained technology,” Weber. “We have to use it for the right curriculum and the right ways - not just for show.” * -j Weber said her biggest as accomplishment an administrator is the develop­ ment of a teacher evaluation model that is being viewed by other districts now.

Wenser Middleville, was recently promoted to his current rank upon graduation from recruit training at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, 111. Krohn received the early promotion for outstanding performance during all phases of the training cycle, according to a press release. Training included classroom study and practical instruc­ tion on naval customs, first aid, firefighting, water safety and survival and shipboard and aircraft safety, An emphasis was also placed on physical fitness. The capstone event of boot camp is Battle Stations. This exercise gives recruits the skills and confidence the) need to succeed in the fleet. Battle Stations is designed to galvanize the basic warrior attributes of sacrifice, dedi­ teamwork cation, and endurance in each recruit through the practical applica­ tion of basic Navy skills and the core values of honor, courage and commitment. Its distinctly Navy flavor was designed to take into account what it means to be a Sailor. Krohn is a 2010 graduate of Thornapple Kellogg High School. TK board may seek , six-year terms by Julie Makarewicz Sta# Writer Kellogg Thornapple School Board members may have their terms of office lengthened to six years rather than four, to better align with new election dates. With the state changing the election process so that school elections will be held only in November during even-numbered years, con­ sideration of changing the length of terms has been raised statewide. The TK district in the past 3 has had elections every May with a staggered number of board members elected. This kept the board from having all new members or having all members seeking re-elec­ tion at the same time. With the change in the election dates, however, board members may consider lengthening terms to six years and electing board members in a rotation of two officers one year, two the next year, and three the final Call anytime (or Sun & News classified ads 269-945-9554 year. Superintendent Gary Rider said many districts are con­ sidering this option to main­ tain continuity and consisten­ cy on the board. The board will consider the policy change at its May meeting. The board will also con­ sider bullying policy changes to comply with state stan­ dards. The district has a bul­ lying policy already in place, but will need to modify some wording to keep up with those state standards. 06769710 Let us do the shopping for you.

With the voted approval of the Yankee Springs Township board, an ambu­ lance will be stationed on site at the Payne Lake Road fire station for 16 summer weekends from the Memorial Day weekend through the Labor Day weekend in September. The extra service is in addition to that normally provided to the area. Supervisor Al McCrumb, saying that ambulance serv­ ice providers Wayland Emergency Medical Services, Pennock Hospital, and Thomapple Township Emergency Services, have always responded as quickly as possible to calls for help, has been concerned about the time required for ambulances to travel from their bases to the lake. All three services are approximately equally distant at about 11-13 miles from the Gun Lake. The Payne Lake fire station is two-four approximately miles from most sites on the lake. Dave Middleton, director of Thornapple Township Emergency Services said, in his experience, Saturdays and Sundays tend to draw the «.f» ’ si; $ 4 greatest number of calls for emergency medical services at the lake with the days before and immediately after a holiday generating the most traffic. There is room for flexibil­ ity in the contract so that, if a particular weekend looks to generate more traffic on a Friday than a Saturday, increased demand can be accommodated. The contract for $13,824 was approved at the meeting of the township board of trustees on April 12 and is funded by casino revenues distributed to the township by the Gun Lake Casino.

Some notable changes organizers hope will become new traditions include a Friday night street dance with the Jessica Price Band and Tyesha Thaler, a main stage located in the heart of Freeport, Saturday DJ music, a three-acre inflatable chil­ dren’s obstacle course and children's accompanying events, a car show and parade, a raffle for a Saturday night hot air bal­ loon ride, bale rolling and Wii bowling, among others. Though the event list may represent change, the excite­ ment of downtown events follows tradition. In 1936, the celebration included a fat man's race (for contestants over 200 pounds), a hus­ band-calling contest, and music by Rem Wall and the Green Valley Boys. Prizes for various competitions in past years included Semdac Polish, cans of pork and beans, a box of Hytone sta­ tionery, Quaker coffee, and a five-pound package of Nuco Nut. Music in 1968 came from the Wolfram Fechner Quintet and, in 1980, from the Hickory. Creek County Western Band. This year's organizers D promise good food and fel­ lowship at the April 29 fundraiser.

Clinics must go through an examina­ tion and are graded in areas such as punctuality, patient communication, the quality of services provided and patient satisfaction in order to qualify for the award. The Five-Star Quality Service Award was estab­ lished to provide a uniform grading system that rates quality in chiropractic clinics across the country. Dr. Kline of Cascade Chiropractic Clinic, is one of a select number of clinics chosen among approximately 60,000 chiropractic clinics across the country to receive this distinction. “The Five-Star Quality Service Award is a great honor,” said Integrity Management’s CEO Keith Maule. “We established a very strict criteria to qualify for this award, and Cascade Chiropractic Clinic excelled in every area.” Dr. Kline is also celebrat­ ing his 30th year of service to his patients.

To ensure that teens stay safe, he is remind­ ing them and their parents that underage drinking is not only dangerous but it is against the law. "You can’t have a mem­ orable experience at prom or graduation if you are unable to remember any of it because you have had too much to drink," said Sheriff Stelma. The consequences of underage drinking are seriEvery year, underage OUS. drivers under the influence of alcohol kill or seriously injure themselves or others in crashes.

Prom time retailers, limousine drivers, hotel own­ ers, and others in the community have a responsibility to report suspicious activity enforcement. to law Suspicious activity may include: • ’ - Drinking and/or visible intoxication of a youth Someone purchasing a large quantity of alcohol, furnishing alcohol to a minor, or a teen using a false ID. - Prom parties hosted in hotel rooms Stelma warns, "Keep safe during your end of school celebrations,” Stelma warns. “If you are a teen, don’t drink or use drugs. If you are a parent, remain vigilant about what your teen is doing. By making it inconvenient for kids to drink, you just may save a life." Businesses help spread message about underage drinking I i JhCil i w-r who have been caught drink­ ing from participating in extracurricular activities. Stelma offers the follow­ ing tips to prevent underage drinking and keep this year’s prom and graduation open houses safe for everyone in the community: • Parents and other adults must remember that under­ age drinking is against the law. Not only is furnishing alcohol to someone under age 21 a crime, it sends the wrong message. • Parents and teens both need to understand that "everybody is doing it" is wrong. Being liked should never mean giving up per­ sonal responsibility or cav­ ing in to social pressures. Parents have an obligation to set boundaries that tell teens which behaviors are appro­ priate and which are not. • Everyone in the commu- April is designated as Alcohol Awareness Month in Michigan and across the country, and the Barry County Substance Abuse Task Force, its members and community partners are busy bringing awareness to some of the issues caused by inap­ propriate use of alcohol, said Liz Lenz, coordinator of the Barry County Substance Abuse Task Force. Several prevention activi­ ties are currently underway throughout Barry County in Alcohol observance of Awareness Month. The task force is encour­ aging all residents to take time to consider the conse­ quences of underage drink­ ing and alcohol abuse in the community and also focus on making healthy, safe choic­ es. Local, state and national data repeatedly indicate that alcohol is the biggest sub­ stance abuse issue for both adults and youths. Alcohol Awareness Month prevention activities in Barry County include Project Sticker Shock, Pizza Box Prevention and commu­ nity-wide messages. Project Sticker Shock is an ongoing program involving local retail partners, law enforcement and youths. Stickers and signs are used in stores to make adults aware of the legal consequences of providing alcohol to minors. Six local businesses are participating, including Family a.a Fare in Hastings, Middleville Cloverdale Marketplace, General Store, The Store at South Shore (Gun Lake), Country Little’s Store (Nashville) and Dowling General Store. 44 This year, our retail part­ ners are awesome,” said Megan Palmer, project coor­ dinator with the SATF. 44 They are working together to do their part to prevent underage drinking.” Pizza Box Prevention is a new program, with the task force partnering with Hungry Howie's Pizza in Hastings. Brightly colored flyers with a positive, prevention mes­ sage are being sent out with every Hungry Howie's pizza. 0 r Lt i ••* • i I J( fl r 4 ■Ur if.

Financial Focus Furnished by Drew McFadden of Edward Jones and Co. • (616) 891-1173 Earth Day lessons can apply to investors, too April 22 is Earth Day. Started in 1970 by Senator Gaylord Nelson, Earth Day is designed to create awareness of the Earth’s environment and to encourage conservation efforts. You anc^ Your family participate in Earth Day events, such as helping _ . clean up a local park or taking materials to a recycling center, you know the benefits of doing your part to improve your surroundings. But are you doing everything you can to upgrade your environment for investing? Actually, as an investor, you can learn a lot from the lessons of Earth Day. Here are just a few ideas: • Diversify. If you’re familiar with Earth Day, you know that it involves multiple activities, including educational programs and do-it-now action steps. This variety is necessary because protecting our environment is a complex challenge. Meeting your short- and long-term investment goals can be chal­ lenging, too, but you'll have a better chance of success by diversifying your investment dollars across a range of vehi­ cles, such as stocks, bonds, gov­ ernment securities and certifi­ cates of deposit (CDs). Diversification can help reduce the impact of volatility on your portfolio — and high volatility can be an obstacle for some peop|e trying to follow an invest­ ment strategy. (Keep in mind, though, that diversification, by itself, cannot guarantee a profit . a or protect against loss.) • Seek growth opportunities. Some people plant trees on £arth [)ay, hoping to watch them grow over the years. As an investor, you, too, need to plant “seeds” today in the hopes of growth in the future. That means, among other things, that wften y0U purchase growth-orientecj investments for the long term, you need to try to stick wjtfo them and not “uproot” tftern after short-term declines in price. encouraging youths and adults to do their part to pre­ vent underage drinking. “Owners Toni and Linsey Jacinto welcomed the project and are wonderful partners in said community, our Palmer. Additionally, Lenz said positive messages can be seen and heard all over the community, promoting liv• ZZ A 1 .1 > — _— ing “Above the Influence and “making Barry County healthier and safer for everyone.” Task force partners involved with these messages include local law enforcement, youths and community members. A town hall focusing on preventing underage drinking is being planned for later in the month. 44 “Everyone in our community can do something to prevent alcohol abuse,” said Lenz. “Parents can talk to their children about not drinking; young people can support each other in the decision to not be involved with alcohol; adults can be sure to keep alcohol out of the hands of minors. “If someone is having a problem with alcohol, I encourage them to seek help,” she added. Help with any substance abuse problem is available by calling Barry County Community Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services, 269-948-8041. The Barry County Substance Abuse Task Force coordinated through is I Substance Abuse Prevention larry County Services, Community Mental Health Authority. The office is a licensed and accredited behavioral health agency providing treatment and pre­ vention services to all Barry County residents. For more information, call 269-948email 4200 or llenz@bccmha.org. • Develop good habits. If you attend an Earth Day program, you will learn about many ecofriendly habits you can develop, from using energy-efficient light bulbs to recycling old com­ puters and other electronic devices. To invest successfully, it's important to develop good £• habits, such as staying invested in all types of markets, seeking tax-advantaged investments and reviewing your portfolio regu­ larly to make sure it’s still appropriate for your risk toler­ ance, time horizon and long­ term objectives. • Avoid "toxins." At some Earth Day events, you can learn about “green” substitutes for •It toxic chemicals in common household cleaners. When you invest, you may also want to avoid “toxins” — or at least “toxic” behaviors, such as chas­ ing after “hot” stocks that are inappropriate for your needs or trading so frequently that you run up big fees, commissions and taxes. • Think long tenn. Above all else, Earth Day is a reminder to us that we all want to leave a healthy planet to future genera­ tions — which means we need to make moves that are benefi­ cial for the environment over the long term. When you invest, you also need to focus on the future. That means following a long-term investment strategy and not getting sidetracked by short-term events, such as polit­ ical crises and economic down­ turns. Earth Day comes once a year, but its lessons can have a lasting impact on our environment. When you apply these same les­ sons to your own investment environment, you may be able to achieve some healthy results.

The first event entailed three minutes each of push-ups, sit-ups and pull-ups. Team members were allowed to alternate with each other, but one person had to be execut­ ing the specified exercise at all times. Nine exhausting minutes later, the two Corsair soldiers proved excellent in their physical fitness and moved on to the next event — the keeping memory challenge. An event new to both of them, the keeping memory challenge gave each team a box of random objects and 30 seconds to remember each object and its location in the box. Cottrell quickly came up with a game plan. “I turned to 2nd Lt. Reed and told him to memorize the left side, and I would memorize the right side, this way we each only had to focus on and remember only half of the box,” said Cottrell, a native of Suffolk, Va. But they wouldn’t be asked to remember the objects just yet; the next event was a 150-pound three-mile litter carry. Both Reed and Cottrell said this was the most strenuous of all events. “This event set the tone right away for how physical­ ly challenging the competi­ tion would be,” said Reed. And if the weight of the litter and the distance alone weren’t challenging enough. halfway through their trek, Bagram took indirect fire. Reed’s competitive mindset was apparently evident as he looked to his teammate in response to the indirect fire and shouted “Indirect fire? We don’t have time for this!” The three-mile litter carry route led them to an obstacle course that would involve combined problem-solving skills to overcome each obstacle. “Second Lt. Reed said that you must have a plan before you start, you start,”” Cottrell explained. “So we took a moment to develop a plan prior to starting each prob­ lem set.” Using their problem-solv- ing abilities and teamwork, the obstacle course proved to be one of Team 26’s strongest events, and they moved on to the range event in high spirits. The range event also aimed to the strengths of Reed and Cottrell who had spent time training with the Task Corsair's Force Pathfinder company. The Pathfinders shared their knowledge in shooting tech­ niques prior to the competi­ tion, and the pair had little trouble demonstrating their skills in front of the other 25 teams. Now nearly midnight and still raining, the two-man Corsair team donned helmets and improved-outer tactical •n vest, grabbed their weapons and moved on to the next event; a six-mile foot march. “We ran more than half of the six miles partly just to toI , in bus tl U tore? fee .'I II ‘•I % Continued next page * Quality Family Eye Care Since 1929 Bard Bloom, O.D.

Team 26 was not able to assemble the weapons in time, but they did not let it get them down. While wait­ ing for the start of the next event, Reed paused to offer encouragement to his team­ mate, “Win or lose. I'm just proud that we did this.” The Corsair team knew the competition was almost over when they were pre­ sented with a “mystery event.” The mystery turned out to be a 3 1/2-mile run. At this point. Team 26 had com­ peted for nearly seven hours warm,” admitted keep Cottrell. After the’six-mile march, they moved to the Warrior Tasks event, comprised of four tasks: combat life saver, land navigation, radio opera­ tions and weapons assembly. They progressed through CLS with ease, scoring one of the fastest times. Radio operations also proved a highlight for Team 26. Cottrell, a radio operator for TF Corsair, was able to quickly show his expertise. Land navigation followed, which gave Reed a chance to demonstrate his expertise. The weapons assembly event was the last of the warrior tasks.

Reed remembered his moti­ vation during this event. “After the first 10 miles, you stop worrying about the distance left,” he said. “You just tell yourself to make it to the next step.” After the run, they had just one event left, the keeping memory test. Team 26 would ! now have to remember everything they had seen in that box seven hours and 13 miles ago. Cottrell’s plan for each man to remember only half of the box proved successful. Finally, the competition was over. Reed and Cottrell would just have to wait for the results and awards cere­ mony to see how their per­ formance ranked against the other 25 teams. The following day the Best Warrior awards cere­ mony took place. While Task Force Corsair's Team did not take home the Best Warrior honor, they were congratu­ lated for their excellent per­ formance by the division commander, Maj. Gen. Daniel Allyn, Command Sgt.

The new Crane Road that goes to M-37 is wonderful. The only complaint I have is making a left turn onto M-37; it’s very hard to see oncom­ ing cars until you are almost in or near the highway. It might be a good idea to trim back bushes or think about getting a light there to make it a safe road, and to prevent accidents in the future.

This year s Rankings include several new measures, such as how many fast food restaurants are in a county and levels of physical inactivity among residents. Among the many health factors (hat researchers look at include rates of adult smoking, adult obesity, excessive drink­ ing among adults, and teenage births; the number of unin­ sured adults, availability of primary care physicians, and preventable hospital stays; rates of high school Ct gradua­ tion. adults w ho have attended some college, children in Cl poverty; community safety; limited access to healthy 1 is; rates of physical inac­ tivity; and air pollution Cl levels. “The county health rankings show us that much of what influences our health happens outside of the doctor’s office. In fact, where we live, learn, work and play has a big role in determining how healthy we are and how long we live," said Dr. Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, president and CEO of RWJF. “The good news is that busi­ nesses, health care providers, government, consumers and community leaders arc already joining forces in communities across the nation to change some of lhe gaps which the rankings highlight.” For more information on the county health ratings, go to www.countyhealthratings.org or call the Barry Eaton District Health Department at 269945-9516. f* s' 41 -nit .0 I VJ I It I • > I*!’’ JO* ia» * tivv/lj I tyuHi CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF CALEDONIA BOARD OF TRUSTEES Meeting Minutes The minutes for the March 21 st, 2012 Township Board of Trustees Meeting which were approved on April 18 2012, are posted at the Township Offices at 8196 Broadmoor Ave., and on the website at www.caledoniatQWDSIUDlQEtf 06770390 * I terra I italic t wanted, Wi Mita W1I.'- ■Hili YANKEE SPRINGS TOWNSHIP BARRY COUNTY, MICHIGAN 284 N.

The Scots also got bit hits from Whitney Denton, Sarah Austin and Ali Tegg. “It was good to see our bats come alive," said Fighting Scot head coach Tom Kaechele. “We looked like the team I knew we have." Swift did all she could in the first game offensively, going three for four at the plate. Denton took the loss, despite four strike outs. The Fighting Scots are now 7-5 overall, and 2-2 in the O-K Gold Conference. They suffered their first league defeats at South Christian Tuesday, falling 21 and 3-2 to the Sailors. “Morgan Swift pitched a great game we just couldn't ** score and runs for her, Kaechele said of the game one performance.

The Scots outhit the Sailors in the second game, 7-5, but couldn't get the key hits with runners on base to score the winning runs. “We hit the ball better in the second game, but 1 give South a lot of credit. They have a great coach and they were ready for everything we threw at them," Kaechele said. “Our goal is still to win the O-K Gold, it's just going to be harder with two losses. We are going to have to play better if we want to win it.” The Scots scored 20 runs the evening before, outlast­ ing Grand Rapids Christian 20-19 after trailing by a 10-0 score at one point, and trail­ ing by six runs going into the bottom of the seventh.

More importantly, the Trojan team has three wins in those three duals. Thomapple Kellogg's var­ sity girls’ track and field team improved to 3-0 in the conference with a 69-68 vic­ tory over visiting Hastings Thursday afternoon. The Hastings boys topped the TK boys 73.5 to 63.5 in their dual Thursday. The trio of Erin Ellinger, Aimee Ellinger and DJ Minor swept the three scor­ ing places in both the shot put and the discus for the Trojan girls' team. Erin won both events, throwing 36 feet 6.5 inches in the shot put and 1 14-0 in the discus. Minor was the runner-up in the shot put and Aimee Was second in the discus. The three also took the top three spots in both events during the Trojans’ duals with Grand Rapids Catholic Central and Wayland. “They're solid and they’re working hard and they're improving,” said TK girls’ coach Abby Kanitz. “That’s what’s nice, they are not just winning, they’re improving. They’re competing against themselves. They’ve got a bigger- picture in mind, which is nice.” Erin, a senior, was seventh in both events at the Division lit 2 State Finals last spring. “It's two seniors and a junior who are sweeping 1 -23. That’s experience right now, and their hard work,” Kanitz said. “They work hard and they want it. Every day they’re doing their drills and they’re very responsi­ ble.” 46 They hold each other accountable in their drills and they work hard at those drills at practice. It’s not even about their full throws. We don't worry about full throws as much as we worry about getting those drills down.” TK need all those points and plenty more to hold off Thornapple Kellogg’s Fiona Shea pulls to the front at the start of the 200-meter dash Thursday afternoon at Bob White Stadium in Middleville.

Heather Raymond took the pole vault by clearing 7"6’ Paige EYk won the long jump at 14-7 and Sidney LeMay won the high jump by clearing 5-0. Hastings had girls placei sec­ ond and third in all three of those events. The Trojans had a bunch of seconds and thirds, and a handful of wins, on the track. The Trojan team of Raymond, Morgan McNutt, Eyk and Fiona Shea won the 400-meter relay for TK in 53.17 seconds. That was the onlY reIaY win for TK. Shea added a sweep of the sprints, taking the 100-meter dash in 12.99 and the 200 in 26.73.

Brummel didn't need to do too much sprinting in his other wins. “I thought you were going slow,” teammate David Walter shouted at him as he chased Brummel around the second turn in the 3200meter run. “I will. After I do my first lap, then I'll slow' down," replied Brummel, who’d already won the 1600-meter run in 4:50.41 and the 800meter run in 2:08.52. He finished the 3200 in first place too, with a time of 10:36.30. Brummel ran his first 400, and won it, in meet Tuesday's with Wayland and is running in the 1600-meter relay for the first time this season. Tanin Eckhoff was the runner-up to Comer in the 110-meter high hurdles and the 200-meter dash, but won the 300-meter intermediate hurdles in 43.03, and the high jump by clearing 5-10. TK's boys also had Tray Mahon win two events, the two throws. He took the shot put at 43-1 and the discus at 147-3. “We lined everything up,” said TK boys’ coach Matt Funk. “We knew we weren’t going to have anything in sprints. We put our points where we needed to. They were a little better in field events than I anticipated, although we did well.” •It The TK boys are now 1-11 in the conference. There are eight individual events on the track among the 17 events in a high school track and field meet. Each athlete can participate in four events total. Brummel and Eckhoff split the eight individual run­ ning events among them Tuesday, helping TK's varsi­ ty boys' track and field team to its first O-K Gold Conference victory of the season.

Brummel won every individ­ ual race that was longer than 400 meters too, taking the 800 in 2:9.09, the 1600 in 4:44.62 and the 3200 in 10:37.07.

He took the 100-meter dash in 11.40, the 200 in 23.62, the 1 IO­ meter high hurdles in 15.75 and the 300-meter intermedi­ ate hurdles in 42.43. The Trojans needed all of those wins as the Wildcats swept the four relays and only finished six points behind, 71.5 to 65.5. like that without being a team,” Kanitz said. “Yeah, our throwers swept, but you don’t win a meet like that without taking a number of second and third places in races. We had girls show up and do that, and that’s what’s important. They’re really there as a team, and every point counts in a meet like this and they understand that.” Hastings was led by Nichole Redman and Trista Straube. • Redman won the 100-meter hurdles in 17.22 and the 300-meter low hur­ dles in 49.55. Straube took the 1600-meter run in 5:32.15 and the 3200 in 12:01.12. Hastings also had Grace Bosma win the 800meter run in 2:28.60. The Trojan boys didn’t have enough sprinters to keep up with the Saxons. Hastings' boys earned their first win of the season, improving to 1-2 in the O-K Gold Conference. The Saxons swept the points in the 100-meter dash, and took first and third in the 200 and first and second in the 400. Chad Reedy won the 100 in 11.77, and it was Jacob Comer winning the 200 in 23.29. Comer added a win in the 110-meter high hurdles too, finishing in 15:05. Ben Kolanowski won the 400 for the Saxons in 53.68. Kolanowski couldn't stay of ahead Thornapple Kellogg's Dustin Brummel when he tried to run a second 400 though, as part of the 1600-meter relay.

TK also had Stahl take the long jump at 18-10 and Kyle Kraus the pole vault by clearing 10-0. The lone individual win for the Wildcat boys came in the high jump, where Nick Shuster cleared 6-3. Thornapple Kellogg's girls spread the wins around a little more, with four girls each winning two individual events. Erin Ellinger took the shot put with a mark of 34-5 and the discus at 111-7. Molly Lark was the long jump champion at 14-3, and added a win in the 400-meter dash with a time of 1:03.82. Lawson won the 1600 in 6:05.25 and the 3200 in 12:45.52.

"Hamilton and Goosen really stepped up games. their Hamilton showed much better foot­ work and more consistency in her ground strokes to win her match. Goosen played very well from the baseline, but added some pressure at the net to win her match.” Hannah Smith took the Saxons’ lone three-set w in at first singles, besting Emmie Beckering 3-6, 6-4, 7-5. Sarah Thornburgh added a 60. 6-3 win over Hannah Lamberg for the Saxons at fourth singles. "We expected Hastings lo have very good singles play­ ers with solid doubles •• teams. Seger said. Hastings is always well coached with sound funda­ mentals. The singles players were very gcxxl at all four flights.” The Trojans took three of the four doubles flights lo help secure the victory. Carly Noah and Michaela Blain improved to 6-0 on the sea­ son at second doubles for TK, topping Erika Krouse and Tess Johnson 6-0. 6-1. Carly played some great net. while Michaels used some good angle shots the set her partner up at the net. Both served well throughout the match,*' Seger said. The other two doubles matches the Trojans won were much closer. TK's Claudia Dykstra and Hannah Bashore look the first set against Hastings* Sarah Sleevi and Kelsi Harden 6-1, then had an up and down second set.

The safety of the environ­ ment, the quality of the facil­ ities, the strong relationships with parochial schools in the district, and the co-operation between the district and the township and village were also cited as factors making the district and community a desirable place to live. What are the characteris­ tics of a superintendent for a district with the qualities expressed by the focus groups? At the head of the list was exceptional character which Washburn referred to as a "moral compass." Great communications skills and a collaborative superintendent leadership style are considered compo­ nents of good relationships with the board, fellow administrators, teachers, sup­ port staff, parents, the com­ munity, the village and the legislature and governor.

Odyssey of the Mind is a creative problem solving competition where teams of seven students select and solve complex problems. Teams then present their solution in an 8-minute per­ formance at a competition against other teams in the same problem and division. "We are extremely excit­ ed for the teams advancing and proud of all the teams who competed this year,” said Annie Halle, TK OM coordinator. “Our program continues to grow and to reach more students each See FINALS, page 5 I TK board continues superintendent search by Julie Makarewicz Sta# Writer After second-round inter­ views, Thomapple Kellogg school board members want time to absorb all they’ve heard and seen before choos­ ing the district's next super­ intendent. The two remaining candi­ dates, Tom Enslen and Cindy Weber, met Wednesday with teachers, union leadership and the community prior to second round interviews before the board. Enslen is currently the assistant superintendent at TK schools and has served in that position for the past five years. Weber has been superintendent at Durand Area Schools since 2007. Board President David Smith said board members have been checking refer­ ences, reading public com­ ments made after the inter­ views, and talking to people, He expects the board will meet within a week, but no date has been set. superintendent Current Gary Rider announced he will retire at the end of June after leading the district for five years. Again Wednesday night, more than 30 community teachers members, and administrators attended the one-hour second-round inter­ views. Both candidates were asked probably the most per­ tinent question at the end of the interview - why should they be hired for the job? Enslen said he believes he has proven himself for the last eight years in the district. “I’ve been able to demonstrate my leadership skills, my energy and passion and compassion for this job/ Enslen responded. “I really feel this is a destination job for me. This is where 1 want to be and where I want to fin­ ish my career. I'm a vested member of the community.” Weber said she, too, wants to lead the district for the next several years. “The future is uncertain in education,” observed Weber. “It's important that your next leader has the experience and the wisdom to lead through the rocky waters we're going to continue to experience. I believe I have those leader­ ship skills to lead through the tough times. ThornappleKellogg is a wonderful dis­ trict.” Weber and Enslen were both asked a myriad of questions including how they continue their own profes­ sional development, what resources they use, the most crucial issues facing educa­ tion in the future, how they build communication, their vision for non-college bound students, and ways to improve educational opportunities for lower achieving students as well as gifted and talented students. They were also asked how they individ­ ually handle stress. • Weber said she is open, honest and trustworthy and always has an open door policy to communicate with the community, staff and mem­ bers of the board. She men- tioned her involvement with national educational pro­ grams and said it's important to look at programs that are being tried elsewhere, then tailoring them to fit the needs of districts. “I don't like to just jump on the bandwagons,” said Weber. “I think you have to have a plan and work through it. You don't just do something because everyone else is doing it.” She also discussed her role on the Microsoft Think Tank team that included other edu­ cators from around the coun­ try and her ability to work with some of the elite educa­ tional leaders in national pro­ grams. Weber said it's important to involve staff and commu­ nity, share information, and work together in groups to help all students. She said she has a high tol­ erance for stress and relies on “dirt therapy” or working in her yard as one way to relieve stress. She also plays golf, enjoys the arts and dance and has a strong net­ work of friends to lean on. Webert said the most cru­ cial issues facing education in the future include funding and potential lutuic legisla- See « I I I I SEARCH, pg. 9 In This Issue • Village sets special meeting for manager evaluation • Public input makes for length Caledonia Township meeting • Scot boys 5-0 heading into Gold showdown at FHE • TK girls’ soccer not totally happy beating Hastings by just one 1 �Page 2/The Sun and News, Saturday, April 28,2012 • ‘ ' • • New developments on FEMA front by Fran Faverman issue and the possibility of Staff Writer having the area remapped Near the close of last using new data, Heystek has week's grueling Yankee in interviewed and met with Springs Township Board of feederal and state officials.

What is now needed is to translate the information into the topographical maps required by FEMA to per­ suade the agency to issue a letter of map revision, a complex and expensive undertaking for individual homeowners. Aerocon Photogrammetric provided the township with two quotes. The first, for the Gun Lake area within the •It boundaries of the township, is $5,470. The second quota­ tion of $6,150 is for the same services for Barlow, Cobb, Payne, Little Payne, Bassett and Turner Lakes area. The Allegan County Conservation District Board, which has engaged Fishbeck, Thompson, Carr and Huber, Inc., a Grand Rapids engi­ neering firm, to do a hydrological study, has given firm permission to share with Yankee Springs the models used to predict the water lev­ els in Gun Lake. In an e-mail to Heystek, FTCH quoted a price of $3,500 to translate the data from Aerocon into the maps for FEMA. A stunned board, led by Treasurer John Jerkatis who very quickly explained how reasonable the quotes from both companies were, sup- t •It ported his motion to approve $5,470 for Aerocon and $3,500 for the engineering firm to do the topographical maps and apply for a letter of map revision.

The commission's strategic plan­ ning meeting held April 12 remained focused on agricul­ tural preservation. He said workshops would be sched­ uled with the townships to discuss the loss of $250,000 in revenue from the proposed abolition of the personal property tax on business equipment. Also an issue for the commission is the loss of 25 percent of revenue-shar­ ing dollars because of condi­ tions attached to the money by Gov. Rick Snyder. Stolsonburg concluded by saying that the commission is going to address an ordi­ nance regarding street num­ bering and duplicate street names. Supervisor Al McCrumb reported the annual road tour for Yankee Springs was being scheduled by the Barry County Road Commission. Board members agreed to participate in the April 23 tour of gravel roads. McCrumb also reported on the Cuddy Drain proposal to fix a problem on Patterson Road at an estimated cost of $270,000. A proposed con­ tract for a street light at the intersection of Patterson and Bowens Mill Roads was received from Great Lakes Energy.

Approximately one-third of the company’s report pre­ sented to the township board was focused on station accomplishments. It was the remainder of the report that drew the attention of the trustees. Karen Hahn, a trustee a Village of Caledonia trustee and chair of the corporation WCAL, which operates Channel 98, introduced Nick Unger, board secretary, who played a video highlighting some of the activities and programs produced by the station. Unger said the station also swaps material with other stations in the area. The difficulties started when Unger, who drafted most of the report that had been reviewed by the cable board, began a review of the challenges that have occurred during the past four years. Following a brief review of an episode involving a for­ mer board member who embezzled $11,500 in 2008, several changes were made. Among them was requiring two signatures on checks, adoption of much of the township’s fiscal manual, the outsourcing of payroll and tax forms, and the use of an accounting program. Focusing on the issue of revenues, Unger said that, besides franchise fees, other public stations in the area also receive a second revenue stream called PEG (public access, educational, and gov­ ernment fees). WCAL does not. The PEG fees were not negotiated in the Caledonia with township contract Charter Communications. He said the station needed $55,000 - $32,000 to meet its and operating expenses $23,000 for a station manag­ er. According to Unger, the station has been subsidized by board members, who need to be reimbursed. Without funds it will have to cease operations. He requested a three-year funding commit­ ment from the township at the level of $55,000 per year. Tim Guilfoyle, treasurer of the corporation, was then called on to explain record­ keeping that, Guilfoyle said, had been established using a bookkeeping program. Observing a debit notation, Township Supervisor Bryan Harrison asked for an explanation and Guilfoyle replied that it was to balance the books. “What kinds of controls are in place?” asked Harrison, who also wanted to know what Guilfoyle’s qualifica­ tions for treasurer were. “A second board member •a signs the checks,” replied Guilfoyle, “and I operated my own business for 15 years." 44 Why would we have this request for $55,000 when we are one-third of the way through this year?” inquired Trustee Dale Hermenet, to which Guilfoyle replied that board members who had paid station bills had to be reim­ bursed. Trustee Don Koopmans said that, while he was impressed with the services the station provides, he echoed - Hermenet's comment. “Your recordkeeping and accounting needs to be a lot clearer,” maintained Koopmans, “and I agree with Dale (Hermenet).” Unger interjected that they now used an outside firm for taxes and payroll. “Why didn't you ask the board before your board members paid bills and you are looking at reimbursing Jennifer them?”* Clerk “You Christian followed. had to know you were run­ ning out of money. Why did­ n't you come to us in August or September?” Christian also pointed out that the PEG fees are actually an additional charge to sub­ scribers and appear on their bills every month. Trustee Greg Zoller want­ ed to know why they were paying rent to Cherry Valley Square and to the owner and Guilfoyle explained that, sometimes, the check was made out to the owner of the building rather than to his corporation. He agreed that the practice was sloppy and would not occur again. “Personal responsibilities got in the way," Unger said. “I didn't follow up with Treasurer Robertson. I didn’t have the information he asked for in 2010.” “The value of the service is not the issue,” commented Robertson, holding the report up. “The concern is on the fiduciary side. You came and asked for money and it is gen­ eral fund money. We have good reason to be concerned. “In 2010, you had $60,000 the volunteers manage the and asked for $60,000 with­ station operations well and out books and couldn't that there is accountability. explain what you were going He asked if they had any sug­ to do with it.

"I've watched this program grow at TK, and I am so impressed that our students are excited about an activity that will bring real value to their futures. I am so grate­ ful that we have been able to create a culture at TK that views OM as an important and valued program for our district. I think it is great that so many kids are taking the opportunity to get involved with Odyssey of the Mind."

Ken Yonker, state repre­ sentative for Caledonia, led off his update on legislative activity by noting that there are differences on the state budget for the coming fiscal year among the house, the senate, and the governor. He is not sure how far the gover­ nor can be pushed. "Lots of work remains to be done," Yonker comment­ ed. He cited a recent poll by Epic/MRA in Lansing, which shows that 58 percent of those surveyed approved of Gov. Snyder's plans. A web page listing jobs and where they are to be found has been established, reported Yonker, and has comments on what small businesses are doing for Michigan. Per capita income in the state increased to $36,633 in 2011; in 2010 it was $34,200. He said that today the governor is recog­ nized as an effective leader in the world markets. "The biggest thing is leg­ islative reform," said Yonker, who is chair of the House Committee on Regulatory Reform. "Sixteen occupa­ tions have been deregulated and 15 licensed occupations are up for review.” Yonker’s view is that, if and occupation does not affect the health, safety or welfare of citizens, it should be deregulated. II How will it affect the job market for community plan­ ners and landscape archi­ Kelly tects?" asked Cavanaugh, a member of the Planning Commission who also works as a planner in Gaines Township. "Government is not to pro­ tect Yonker industry," replied, pointing out that one did not need to have a real estate license to work in a property management com­ pany. Trustee Don Koopmans asked Yonker if he was “for or against us, "on the gas tax. to which Yonker replied that the house budget would take <EK * I1 a small slice of the general fund dollars and use them for roads and airports. Supervisor Bryan Harrison thanked Yonker for his serv­ ice to the district. Under the redistricting plan approved by the legislature, Yonker will no longer represent Caledonia and Gaines Townships but will run for a seat in a new district south of the current district and along U.S. 131. Yonker said he had enjoyed his time representing Caledonia in the House of Representatives. Ken Gackler, representing both the Caledonia Historic Commission and the Caledonia Historical Society, approached the township board, seeking a temporary Bit display of a few items of historical interest, particularly a wedding gown used at a wed­ ding in 1889. Harrison asked about liability for the items and Gackler responded that they were owned by the township. He suggested using part of the former township offices at 250 Maple St. Harrison said that he hopes to sell the building when the village moves on. Jennifer Christian, township clerk, who will be using the space as an election precinct, said that she was open to that idea as long as it did not interfere as with functioning a precinct. Ed Fischer rose to express concerns about future plans for Davenport University and the Peter Den Hartigh Park. "Is there any coorcjination between them and the town­ ship?” asked Fischer of the Davenport issue. “Maybe a board member should meet with them." Fischer's concern is the new athletic fields being built on 17 acres donated to the school by Fanners Insurance Company, Don Koopmans, board liai­ son to the township Planning Commission, assured Fischer that the commission and the Public Safety Advisory Committee, through the fire department, address access and safety issues. Fischer moved on to his second concern regarding Peter Den Hartigh Park, say­ ing that the park was a good use. He noted that the original end use plans had called for gency provisions a deed restriction. A motion to sell the property to Buer passed unanimously. Christian explained plans for the memorial for Ellen Wilder, who passed away recently. Wilder had been instrumental in chairing the millage campaign for a new library. According to Christian, several neighbors of the fam­ ily had gathered funds for a memorial and felt that the library was an appropriate site. The library does have some additional needs beyond its current furnish­ ings. Whatever is chosen will support the library and will carry her name. The board unanimously approved the memorial. Two other items requiring board action were amend­ ments to the township 457(b) retirement plan for employ­ ees. The amendments were required by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service for compli­ ance with relevant laws. The second action was approval of an expenditure of $500 for an ad supporting the Caledonia Farmers Market opening in May. Both items were approved unanimously. Harrison announced that nominations for the Hometown Hero were open and that forms are available at the township office. The Hometown Hero award is given to a resident who has contributed in a significant fashion to the lives of Caledonia residents'.’r- The individual chosen is honored as the grand marshal of the parade at the Independence Day Celebration. On the agenda, for clarifi­ cation only, were two appli­ cations for signs. Harrison explained that the signage moratorium enacted by the township and then extended did not apply to non-digital 300 houses and that those plans now will never be reali­ ty- “Plans do change and mar­ kets do change,” commented Harrison. “End use plans are required as part of the permit­ ted mineral removal (PMR) permitting process." Harrison observed that parks can be placed in any zoning district and also noted, later in the meeting, that an environmental impact study may be required in order to apply for a grant to fund part of the park development costs. Moving to its regular agen­ da, the board dealt with the March approval of publica­ tion of a request for proposal for the 240 Emmons Street property, formerly the Caledonia Public Library and also the site of the old black­ smith shop. One proposal was receivedr from Buer Well Drilling, Inc. The company would buy the property for $5,000 contingent upon its rezoning from residential to C-l commercial by the Village of Caledonia. Steve Buer, representing the company, said he had met with Village Clerk and Manager Sandy Ayers and Glenn Gilbert, village presi­ dent. Though the property is owned by the township of Caledonia, it is physically located within the Village of Caledonia. Applicable planning and zoning regulations are those of the village. Buer related that his com­ pany is trying to figure out a use for a building that was a church before it became a library. Christian pointed out also that the electrical system was not functioning due to plumbing issues that were , caused by frozen pipes. There are also issues with mold and water in the basement. Harrison added he was willing to accept $5,000 for the property with contingen­ cies. If the property is sold or the building demolished with­ in 10 years, Buer would have to pay the township an addi­ tional $10,000. The second contingency is a right of first refusal to the Caledonia Historic Commission for the stained glass windows and other items of historical inter­ est.

The department also noted the need to increase the amount of water available to meet increasing demands on the system. The current water treatment plants, on days of maximum demand, operate at 66 to 84 percent of capacity. Declining productivity and quality of water produced by the north well fields are being addressed through negotia­ tions with the City of Grand Rapids. The second area of con-, cem, according to Robertson, is the absence of a water emergency response plan. Without a resolution estab­ lishing such a plan, the town­ ship does not have the ability to restrict the use of water in the event of an emergency. Robertson will research the issues raised by the depart­ ment. The next regularly sched­ uled meeting of the board will be on Wed., May 2, at 7 p.m. at the township offices, 8196 F Broadmoor Ave. signs. There are two applica­ tions for standard signs and those may proceed. The final item on the agen­ da was discussion of a water emergency response plan. Township Treasurer Richard Robertson said that a letter dated March 6, 2012 from the Michigan Department, of Environmental Quality had rated the Caledonia public water system as satisfactory. Nevertheless, the depart­ ment did raise two concerns. Cross-connections between treated water and untreated water sources, while excel­ lent in commercial, industrial, and educational sectors, do not appear to have been addressed by the township in the residential sector. There are also requirements for pro­ tection against the backflows between the sources of potable and unpotable water. Other concerns with the water system are the high rates of water loss that is not accounted for. For example, among the causes listed are faulty metering, meters not being read, leakage within the system, and inaccurate esti- NEW HOURS BEGINNING MAY 1ST: Mon • Fri: 9am • 8pm; Sat 9am • 6pm; Sun 1 lam-4pm «f> h v *0 J Q- - 1 nj ;v'a Creekside \ GROW E R S k kJ £41 11! y \ I �/a Page 8/The Sun and News, Saturday, April 28, 2012 Financial Focus Routine continues at the Caledonia school board Furnished by Drew McFadden of Edward Jones and Co. • (616) 891-1173 Even with low rates, you can invest for income Not long ago, the Federal Reserve (Fed) announced that it plans to keep short-term interest rates near zero until late 2014. The Fed initially pushed rates to that level in 2008, in an effort to stimulate economic growth. Clearly, low interest rates have a wide-ranging impact — but what effect will they have on you, as an individual investor? If you need income from your investments, then the con­ tinuation of ultra-low interest rates may be a matter of some concern, particularly if you own certain types of fixed-income investments, such as certificates of deposit. While CDs are insured, offer return of principal at maturity and provide regular interest payments, they are not risk-free. With low interest rates, you risk losing purchas­ •It ing power. Still, fixed-rate vehi­ cles may well have a place in your portfolio. If you're even somewhat dependent on your investments for income, you may need to broaden your search. Here are a few ideas to consider: • Build a bond ladder. Long­ term bonds, by their nature, are more subject to interest rate risk than shorter-term vehicles. In other words, interest rates are more likely to rise during the life span of a longer-term bond — and when rates go up, the prices of existing bonds will fall. To help lower this risk, you may want to build a “ladder” of bonds of varying maturities. Then, if market interest rates are low, you’ll still have your long-term bonds earning higher rates, but if rates rise, you can take advantage of them by rein­ vesting the proceeds of your maturing short-term bonds. But remember to work with your financial advisor to evaluate whether a bond ladder and the securities held within it are con­ sistent with your investment who’s back in townifF'y WANDA PARKER and she is ready to serve you at HA!

You can find companies that have paid dividends for many consecutive years — and in some cases, increased their dividend payout each year. In 2012, companies listed in the S&P 500 are on track to pay out more than $252 billion in dividends, a record amount, according to data compiled from .tit ’s. (Keep in Standard & Poor mind that the S&P 500 is an unmanaged index and is not available for direct investment.) Of course, stock prices will fluctuate in value, and you may receive more or less than your original investment when you sell. Historically, dividend-pay­ ing stocks have been less volatile than non-dividend-pay­ ing stocks. Be aware, though, that companies can lower or discontinue dividend payments at any time without notice. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. • Refinance your mortgage, Today’s low rates are good news for borrowers. With tougher standards in place, it may not be as easy to refinance a mortgage as it once was, but if you qualify, you may want to think about refinancing. You may be able to save quite a bit of money on your monthly payments — and lower payments can translate into a greater cash flow. Plus, if you don’t need all the savings, you can put some of the money into an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) or another retirement savings vehicles. Ultimately, an extended peri­ od of low interest rates is just one more factor to consider in creating and adjusting your investment strategy. Work with your financial advisor to help ensure low rates won’t affect your income needs. This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor. ; DR.

Chris Warren, principal of Kettle Lake Elementary •It School, welcomed the board and members of the audience before turning the program over to Laura Witvoet, music teacher, who presented the Kettle Lake Elementary School Chorale group. The tit audience rose while the choristers sang the national anthem. Their second piece was the tune, “Homeward Bound”, which received a standing ovation, Board president Mike Patterson welcomed the audience and explained that any issues up for votes on the agenda were thoroughly discussed at the board workshop preceding the meeting earlier in the month. During the public com­ ment period, Rob Rodgers, a senior at Caledonia High School, rose to question a change in the school schedule. Seniors had been antici­ paring a day off on Friday, May 18, and were concerned when the day off was canceled. According to Rodgers, rumors were circulating that the senior class was being punished for some unknown infraction. “If that is the case,” said Rodgers, “we would like to know what we did.” Rodger stated that a meet­ ing with assistant principal Jim Crites had not provided any satisfactory answers. Patterson attempted to explain that there: were any number of possible: reasons for a change in the schedule. He observed that he had a asked his daughter, who is also a senior, what was going on and that she had said she had no idea. Superintendent Jerry Phillips explained that the .tit was usu­ last week of school ally a flex week. The true last day is usually the day before graduation. He suggested that students look at the day off as a reward. In a further discussion, CHS Principal Jim Glazier said the change had been announced at the beginning of the school year on the second day of school. A budget reduction mem­ orandum for the 2012-2013 year of $1.2 million was approved by the Caledonia Community Schools Board of Education in order to comply with state require­ ments for 60 days notice before the end of the current school year. Superintendent Jerry Phillips said that the budget reduction had to be made now to comply with state law but could be rescinded depending upon the level of funding in the state’s final budget for the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1. Also approved was a rec­ ommendation from Assistant Superintendent Randy Rodriguez for the purchase of a chemistry textbook for the new Chemistry Advanced Placement course that will be offered in the fall. A recommendation to spend $35,000 to resurface the tennis courts at Kraft Meadows and Duncan Lake Middle Schools was also approved. Retirements were approved for Tom Kaechele, coordinator; auditorium Beverly Price, paraprofes­ sional at Caledonia Elementary School; Linda Bravata, paraprofessional at Kraft Meadows Middle School; Barbara Fink, occu­ pational therapist, and Calvin Andree and Daniel Lautenschleger, bus drivers. Leaves of absence were approved for Andrea Hilaski, 7th grade teacher at Duncan Lake Middle School, and Paul Quada, custodian at Duncan Lake Middle School. Nineteen teachers achieved tenure; 11 are in elementary schools, six at Caledonia High School, and one each at Duncan Lake Middle School and the Early Childhood Center. Six teach­ ers advanced to the fourth probationary year. Thirtytwo teachers advanced to the third probationary year. The o cn r 269-945-9554 or 1-609-870-7085 numbers reflect the hiring of new faculty to replace those who took advantage of retirement incentives in 2010. Eleven teachers are entering their second proba­ tionary year. No formal action was required from the board. The final board action was the approval of the community/staff attributes of the next superintendent (see related article). Phillips delivered his state •It of the district report, noting that Caledonia had received GREEN Awards for its and schools had also received an award for its energy • saving projects. Money saved through the projects goes back into class­ rooms. The Caledonia Technology team will speak to a conference of Kent County school superintend­ ents on the use of laptop computers on a one-to-one basis. Phillips also noted that the all-day kindergarten issue is still undecided though Caledonia will begin offer­ ing all-day kindergarten in September 2012. “The risk of the possible hit in state-aid is too great to take,” explained Phillips of the state's prom­ ise to rescind the full student foundation grant for half-day kindergartners. Graduation day for Caledonia High School is May 24. Glenmoor Alternative High School graduation is May 21. The next regularly sched­ uled meeting of the board will be Tuesday, May 22, at 7 p.m. at the Duncan Lake Middle School, 9757 Duncan Lake Road. r I1 4 r J s' '.'i dl!*1' 0 £ l III 1 I M1* I I * ■ I hr af$ ii b I I nlifli fiatV I affiisu I K’ i SEES I Cilife iarj( ®a'» iljSjj iiitoii ate® I Ml rtotAe SWeei kotAe . . .

Rick Moore, head of the trail subcommittee, assured those landowners they would maintain the necessary access to reach their fields.

J- tn r • I t ♦ i c �*• x The Sun and News, Saturday, April 28, 2012/ Page 11 Yankee Springs board renews contract for emergency services by Fran Faverman Staff Writer At its April 12 meeting, Yankee the Springs Township Board of Trustees renewed a contract with Township Thornapple Emergency Services for year-round fire and emer­ gency medical services, but not without questions about fees. The contract is a renewal of the arrangement between the township and TTES for fire protection and emer­ gency medical services for the township at a cost of $98,000. A new line item in the contract provoked con­ siderable discussion from Trustee Mary Cook, who asked, why the township is being charged $3,600 as an administrative fee. Dave TTES Director Middleton responded that Thornapple Township Supervisor Donald Boysen said the fee is to cover asso­ ciated administrative costs such as billing. “Then why isn’t it $980?” asked Cook. “There are other participants, and we are being charged the entire amount. They should also be charged.” Cook said she will inquire further about the administra­ tive fee charge and report back to the board. Updating the board on activity, Middleton said call volume has continued to run about 50 calls over the pace in 2011; accordingly, March marked the third consecutive month of increased call vol­ ume. He said the confusion over the state’s new fire­ works law continues; as it stands now the only agency that can act on complaints about fireworks is the Michigan State Police. Middleton also reported that the department has received a grant from the Department of U.S. Homeland Security that requires only a 5 percent match. He closed his report saying a pump on a tanker truck failed and was being repaired at a cost of $5,000.

She said part­ nerships' with local business­ es and industries need to continue to be fostered to create opportunities, espe­ cially for non-college bound students. said Enslen being approachable and having an open door are important as the leader of the district.

The board and the administration is going to be a team to work together.” When asked about con­ tracting support services, Enslen said it's not some­ thing he would want to do. “These are vested mem­ bers in our community,” said Enslen. “These people are good for kids. I want to guard against !< anything that impacts students in the class­ rooms and we’ll have to work creatively to deal with tightening our belt.” To deal with stress, Enslen said he exercises regularly, loves to be outside hunting and fishing, and has a close network of friends. “At the end of the day, I lean on my faith -1 pray,” he added. Enslen said that there are a number of challenges facing education in the future. One immediate challenge is offer- rI Call 269-945-9554 for Sun & News ads ing all-day, every-day kindergarten classes and how that works instructionally, transitioning to common core standards, developing assessment tools for teachers and administrators, and funding issues for all schools. Enslen was also asked what he perceived as weak­ nesses of the district. He said he characterizes them not so much as weaknesses, but points of interest that need attention. The first is that the district receives only the state’s base foundation rate, which is the lowest amount of per pupil funding. He also said there are issues with lack of high speed internet available throughout the area and that the district needs to continue focusing on writing as an improvement area for all students. Enslen was also asked who he admired as a leader •It and administrator. He point ­ ed to former TK superintend­ ent Kevin Konarska who is now superintendent for the Kent intermediate School district. “He has the integrity, vision and is not afraid to try new things,” said Enslen. ll He has been a mentor and friend and stands up for what is right.” INPUT, continued from page 1 leadership is reflected in a passion for students and visibility in learning, a •It schools tit and classrooms, and an enjoyment in interacting with students. The superintendent should enjoy being in the schools and visiting classrooms, Three significant qualities are also required: the ability to learn and to embrace the special Caledonia culture, the ability to plan for the future and to implement changes, and the flexibility to adapt to federal and state changes, What should candidates for the post bring to the district? Experience in leadership positions at the superintendent/assistant superintendent level, accoding to focus group input, Candidates should be knowledgeable about all phases of instruction and school operations including high school, middle school, elementary school, and special education programs, Strong financial skills are specifically. also desired the challenges posed by a an underMichigan fundin O ’ standing of the importance of balancing the budget, and a style that balances budget stability with supporting school programs. The last set of qualities identified requires a superintendent to be a champion of high academic standards, of special education students and programs, of the importance of working together with parochial schools, and of the arts, music, athletics and co-curricular programs. Perhaps the most important quality of all is the last found by Washbum in his research with focus groups: the ability to make tough decisions and stay the course when challenged. Following the presenta­ tion of the results of the work with the focus groups, Washbum had some recom­ mendations for the board. Most important of all, it is •It the job of the board to select the next superintendent. It is vital to let the community know what the process is. Immediately, it is the task, •It in his view, of the board to study the information from the focus groups, study other information, and then devel­ op what the board wants. "Identify the profile,” advised Washburn, “and then decide what you want to do. It is your job.” One of the decisions the board needs to make is whether to confine the search to the district by considering only internal candidates or to extend the search to other possible candidates within Haircuts County the Kent Intermediate School District or to the entire state. Whether the search is inter­ nal or external. Washbum advised the board to get started as soon as possible. Board Vice President Nemmers David and Trustees Mary Anne Timmer and Mike LoMonaco repre­ sented the board at the com­ munity focus group on Monday, April 12. "The meeting reinforced what a great community this is," said Nemmers, reflecting on the comments made at the meeting. Timmer agreed and observed that one of the characteristics of the district was its ties to agriculture and to the FFA program. "We have a process where we communicate," summed up Mike Patterson, board president.

The 3200meter relay was the only race he didn't win that day. He said his approach did­ n't change at all that day, adding the 800 to an already busy slate of races. “1 guess they just threw me in there because they needed more points, and I got stuck doing it now," he said with a smile. “Just got to go out and win. That's what they expect.” He still had plenty of ener­ gy to end the day running the 3200. “Always,” he said, “I don't like to lose, so I’ve always got enough to go.” That attitude, and talent, have earned Brummel some more runs. He signed his National Letter of Intent Wednesday (April 17), t join the Davenport University Men’s Cross Country program, and he also plans on running for the DU Men's Track and Field program as well. Brummel capped off a fine high school cross country career in November by earn­ ing his first state medal. He placed 18th at the Division 2 State Finals in Brooklyn, set­ ting a personal record time of 16 minutes 10.4 seconds. It was his second trip to the cross country state finals. Brummel also went to the Division 2 Track and Field 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 •n of children under 18.

Two of his big goals for this spring's track and field season are to set school records in the 800-meter run and the 1600-meter run. Brummel said his love of running, and competing, started at Page Elementary in the fourth and fifth grades. “When we were little we did that track and field day, and I always was really com­ petitive in it. I always wanted to win,'' Brummel said. “Ever since that, I just started running and I got good at it.” He chose Davenport as the place to continue his running career in a large part because of its solid reputation as a business school. Thomapple Kellogg alumnus Darrin Tape, now an assistant with the DU Men's Track and Field program sent Brummel a message early in the cross country season letting him know the DU coaches were interested in him running for the Panthers. Brummel took his official visit to the school this winter, and liked what he found. Dirt ■?

April 28 2012 Scot boys 5-0 heading into Gold showdown at FHE by Brett Bremer Sports Editor One of the biggest show­ downs of the O-K Gold Conference girls’ track and field season happened Tuesday, when Forest Hills Eastern knocked off the Thomapple Kellogg girls 89.5 to 47.5 in Ada. The Hawks will now host the biggest boys' dual of the league season this coming Tuesday, as the 5-0 FHE boys take on the 5-0 Caledonia Fighting Scots. Caledonia's boys won the 2011 conference champi­ onship, beating FHE in their league dual, but finished a distant second to the Hawks when they met for the second time at the conference meet at the end of the year. The Fighting Scots scored their fifth win of the league season Thursday, knocking L off the Thomapple Kellogg boys 79-58 inside Ralph E. Meyers Stadium in Caledonia. The Thomapple Kellogg girls bounced back from their loss to the Hawks, improving to 4-1 in the league with an 82-55 win Thursday. Thomapple Kellogg's O. boys won seven of the 13 individual events, but the Fighting Scots took three of the four relays to help clinch the victory'. “In the sprint relays, we hit our hand-offs and that helps a lol," said Caledonia boys' coach Kevin Remenap. “We have one of our alumni (Maddie Zych) helping us out, and she is kind of our hand-offs coach. She has been working hard with those kids.” Caledonia had the team of Ten Kumapayi, Thomas Andreano, Landon Tompkins and Eddie Kelly win the 400-meter relay in 46.11 seconds, and the team of Andreano, Jalen Burton, Tompkins and Kumapayi Don’t Fall!

One of my students said the other day, ‘you don't practice until you get it right, you practice until you can't get it wrong.' That's about what she's doing with them. She’s got them pretty well fine-tuned.” The Scots also won the day's first race, the 3200meter relay, with the team of Trent Feyen, Alex Farhadi, Jensen Miller and Mason Przybysz winning in 8:52.15. Tyler Patterson added a pair of wins for Caledonia in the field, taking the long jump at 18 feet 4 inches, and the pole vault at 13-0. Andreano was second in the pole vault, clearing 12-0. On the track, Kumapayi won the 100-meter dash in Thornapple Kellogg’s Josh Bremer rounds a turn a few strides ahead of Caledonia’s Trent Feyen during the 1600-meter relay during Thursday’s O-K Gold Conference dual.

The only full game the Fighting Scots played in that stretch was at South Christian Monday where Caledonia came away with a 6-0 win over its league rivals. Even playing into a stiff wind in the first half the Fighting Scots played a a lot of defense, but still managed to create some scoring chances. It took about 24 minutes, but the Scots finally got their first goal as Rubina Veerakone played a great ball to Kendra Stauffer who carried it towards the Sailor goal and finished. Nine min­ utes later, Sam Maher buried a shot in the net to put her team up 2-0 at the half. South Christian pushed play early in the second half, and Fighting Scot keeper Brooke Hubbel responded wjth timely saves. Ten minutes into the half, Corrie Good scored off a nice pass from Veerakone. Less than four minutes later. Good played in Veerakone for another goal. Veerakone scored again, unassisted one minute later, and Stauffer finished the scoring with an Hills Wednesday. Good, Maher, Veerakone, McKenna Maynard, Heather Jozwik, Stauffer, Clipfell and Olsen scored the goals for the Scots. Contributing assists were Jozwik, Veerakone, Stauffer, Olsen (2), Hoekstra and Shelby Kresnak (2). Caledonia is now 6-1-1 overall this season. Things should start to get a little tougher for the Scots in the league. They’ll travel to Grand Rapids Catholic Central Monday and then host Thornapple Kellog S Wednesday this week. assist to Lexi Bush. That scoring run resulted in four goals in about seven minutes. “It was a great team effort with every player contribut­ ing,” said Fighting Scot head coach Steve Sanxter. “Alena Olsen was strong in the mid­ field and defenders Olivia Clipfell and Sarah Spees were in top form on defense. Annika Hoekstra played a big role at defender and mid. B .oth Hubbel and (Ryann) Zourdos were sharp in goal.

The Sailors' varsity boys’ golf team won for the third time in four O-K Gold Conference jamborees when the league met at Quail Ridge Wednesday afternoon. The Sailors took the day’s title with a 157, one day after a runner-up finish to Forest Hills Eastern at Gracewil Golf Course.

That score was matched South by Christian's Blake DeVries and Nick VanderHorst as well as Forest Hills Eastern's Griff Billups. The Scots' sixth-place fin­ ish is the lowest finish of the league season so far for the team that opened the league season with back-to-back third-place finishes. Ryan Coe led the Scots with a 41. Tyler Kim added a 44, Justin Cutler a 45 and Joey Baum a 49. Forest Hills Eastern took the day's title with a team score of 164 at Gracewil Tuesday.

But that's what his varsity girls' lacrosse team did. They beat Rockford, at Rockford, 11-10. “The girls all played their hearts out in one of the crazi­ est endings in the sport of lacrosse," said Shefferly. “Rockford was issued six cards in the game, and had to play two girls down for eight minutes of the second half." The Scots used that advan­ tage to hold onto their slim lead. Caledonia built an 8-5 lead in the first half. Keagan Pontious led the way for Caledonia with five goals. Ashley Watson and McKinzie Arnold had three each. Watson also had an assist. Kendra Venema, Liz Frey, Watson and Pontious all caused Rockford to turn over the ball throughout the event. Scot keeper Helene Miller was tough in the second half, with 12 saves. The Caledonia defense was led by Brooke Pontious, who limited Rockford’s AllAmerican Erica Neumen to three goals for the contest. The Scots are now 7-2. '4 They also scored a league Haven win at Grand Wednesday, 22-3. Arnold led all scorers with five goals. Keagan Pontious, Brooke Pontious and Watson had three each, and Savannah Monroe finished with two. Nicole Tilma, Frey, Ellery Alexander and Alexa Callaway each added a goal.

Hastings’ Haley Wagner drew the only yellow card in a very physical game, bump­ ing TK’s Taylor Dalton out of the way on a Trojan cor­ ner kick late in the first half. That foul led to the PK. Both coaches felt like things could have been better for their teams if they’d just had some better touches up towards the goal. “We did change our for­ mation,” said Hastings head coach Sarah Smith. “We’re playing a 3-6-1, three defenders, six midfielders and one forward, from a 4-42. That’s allowing us to con­ trol more of the middle of the field. It’s getting us more offensive opportunities. Now we have to clean up the last pass in the offensive end." The Trojans had a number of good runs at the Saxon goal, especially in the first half, but too often sent pass­ es a little too hard at the cor­ ners or sent balls through the defense that got to Saxon keeper Bre Sinclair a little too quickly for the forwards to beat her to the ball. Sinclair made seven saves for Hastings. “They had the right idea, they just had to make adjust­ ments as far as how hard we were putting that ball in the •>1 corner, Strickland said. “In the second half 1 felt we played a little bit better, we thing. It’s always a close game with TK, no matter what." Chelsea Totten earned the shut-out in net for TK. The Trojans were concemed because there can’t be any wasted opportunities next week. Thornapple Kellogg heads to Forest Hills Eastern Monday, then will visit Caledonia Wednesday, The Trojans also earned a shut-out Monday, knocking off Wayland 2-0. Kelli Graham and Scheidel scored just didn't put the ball inthe back of the net." Smith was pleased with the play or her reworked defense, a unit that included Schoessel, Jordan Tori SchoesseL Morrison, Ashley Nurenburg and Amber Nurenberg. Smith said that the biggest difference between Wednesday’s loss and the two previous lopsided league losses was that the foe was TK. 44 That’s the biggest thing,” Smith said. “It’s the rivalry rs 3 r* co o Ji d . r. *. » | V \ cJ ^oao.

Trojans salvage one victory from set with Saxons by Brett Bremer Sports Editor The Trojans figured some­ thing out between Tuesday and Thursday. Thomapple Kellogg's var­ sity baseball team finished off its O-K Gold Conference set with Hastings, topping the Saxons 12-6 in Hastings Thursday afternoon. The Saxons mercied the Trojans in their two games in Middleville Tuesday. Garrett Harris pitched a complete game for the Trojans Thursday, giving up nine hits while walking three and striking out three. “Garrett was not as sharp as he has been, but what a gutty performance keeping it close before we got the bats going.” Harris was aided by a 1-63 triple play in the third inning, which helped the Trojans preserve an early 4-2 lead. TK scored three times in the top of the second inning to go up 4-2, then led the rest of the afternoon. TK tacked on two runs in the fourth, before the Saxons answered with three runs in the home half of the inning. Both teams added a single run in the fifth. The Trojans finally put the Saxons away with three runs in the sixth and two in the seventh. Brendon Hudson had four RBI for TK. Dylan VanPutten had two hits, including a three-run home run. Alex Roy added two triples and scored three times, and Caden Francisco had a triple of his own and scored twice. Cody Ybema had a third TK triple. Dalton Phillips was 2-for-4 with a double and a single and scored twice. 1 •• I « a; « < f 1 ■ I Thornapple Kellogg third baseman Dalton Phillips leaps up to grab a bouncing ball during the top of the third inning of game two against Hastings Tuesday. (Photo by Brett Bremer) “The kids are starting to understand what it takes mentally to play this game,” said TK head coach Jack Hobert. “We still have a long way to go, but we are headed in the right direction.” Hastings took the opener 15-5 in five innings, then won the nightcap 12-1 in six innings Tuesday. “They outplayed us,” said TK head coach Jack Hobert. “They wanted it more. They outhit us. We weren't ready to play and they were. We didn't throw strikes. We were giving up 2-0 counts, 3- 1 counts. It was mental today, no doubt about it. It was mental. Not taking any­ thing away from them. They hit the ball. We didn't. We weren't ready.” Trojan starter Jordan Timm set down the first four Saxons he faced in order in game one, but that first out in the top of the second inning was followed by two walks and three singles for the bot­ tom five batters in the Saxons line-up. All five would come around to score as Hastings would send *12 batters to the plate in the inning, scoring six runs. The Saxons tacked on three runs in the top of the third, then put the game away with a six run fourth inning in which they batted around again. It was the bottom of the order that did most of the run scoring for the Saxons in the two games. The five through nine batters scored 21 of the Saxons 27 runs. Jon French and David Pierce scored three times each in the open­ er. Pierce had three hits, including a pair of doubles. John Parker had two doubles too, and scored twice. The Saxons also got two runs each from Travis Sixberry and Jake Swartz. Number three hitter Devin Greenfield was the only starter not to score a run in the two games for the Saxons. He was on base five times though. Hastings got two solid pitching performances Tuesday, with Nicholas Replogle holding the Trojans to six singles and a double by Francisco. Replogle struck out two and didn't walk a batter. VanPutten was the only Trojan with two hits.Phillips had a pair of RBI for TK. “Nicholas (Replogle) pitched a great first game, and Jake Swartz was outstanding the second game. He's had a couple tough out­ ings where we didn't really do him any favors defensively, and the last couple outingS he’s been fantastic. This is kind of what we'd envi­ sioned at the beginning of the year, and it’s good to see the kids win,” said Hastings head coach Marsh Evans. It was Swartz who shut Cougars top Scots in dual and invitational <■ then topped the Fighting Scots 6-2 in their O-K Gold ___ ■ Conference dual in Grand Rapids Monday.

M-43 Highway, Hastings, Ml 49058 ■ I 137th year e Fracking concerns voiced at Orangeville board meeting I I by Fran Faverman Staff Writer A few minutes before 7 p.m. Tuesday, Orangeville Township Supervisor Tom Rook looked over the audi­ ence that occupied almost every seat set up for the monthly board meeting, turned to his colleagues and said, “We might as well get A .fn.q twoT eon© w jnoni >©muJ ,bl£2 started.” Rook opened the discus­ sion on the issue of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, by relating an experience his family has had, saying he had reviewed a proposed contract his mother had received to lease drilling rights on her property. not “Companies are telling people what is involved. They are not telling them they lose their farming rights,” Rook said. At the center of the con­ cern over fracking is the use of injection wells and direc­ tional drilling, a different technique than that used in Michigan for at least many years. Unlike current wells that are relatively shallow and are drilled straight down, injection wells are several thousand feet deep and are then drilled into from various angles. A solution of water, sand, and chemicals is then injected into the well to break us the rock and free the gas. Township Orangeville Trustee Robert Perino, who has researched the issue, began by noting that there were people in the room who could remember when coal was the primary source of energy until natural gas came along as a much cleaner, less polluting source of energy. He said a conversation with Jim McManus, Barry * County planning and zoning director, said fracking is not a zoning issue; zoning is concerned with surface issues and structures. Fracking is a mining issue, and jurisdiction is with the Michigan departments of natural resources and envi- 1 < See FRACKING, pg. 3 TK assistant superintendent named new district leader by Julie Makarewicz Staff Writer I 31 <1 k zobniz 230/31 cmorlT loorioZ orlT 2nibnl2 £ ©d ot LE'J ©dl mooqu wfoiM" isqqoD orlT Anoiios /I zisim snwniD ,zbiqfifl bnuiD .11 i r [Obrim fl bnoosz V£b ©di mill ziri fl word ”.ob srfT ' bloisH toW 01 * i zi lolq tM* joiozno'j Thomapple Kellogg assis­ tant superintendent Tom Enslen has earned the right, board members say, to take over the top spot in the dis­ trict.

Tom has earned the right to this job,” said Smith. “I think it was important that he rose to the top through the selection process. We had two very good candidates.” Board member Cindy Ordway said she was very impressed with Weber's energy and passion and said bringing new blood to the district could be a good thing. “But then Tom got to the table and he spoke about his passion - his passion for kids, for the district, for the community and the staff. If you don't have that passion and you don't know and understand the district, I don't know how effective you can be,” she said. Board member Scott Kiel said a closer look at MEAP score improvements over the years and a comparison with Durand schools was another factor for him. He said TK's scores have continued to improve with Enslen as superintendent, assistant while Durand scores have not improved as much. “TK has been much more successful in improving test scores and, to me, that’s a big indication that we’re on the right track. Tom is well thought of in the district and in the KISD. He’s considered a leader in the KISD and has 44 V shown leadership and insight. I believe he has the support of the administrative team and of many staff.” Thomas and Selleck said Weber simply has impres­ sive knowledge, more expe­ rience, and more national contacts they felt were keys that could bring quality changes and improvements to the district. They noted Weber’s participation in the Microsoft Think Tank on technology and her ability to find new ways to integrate and bring technology into classrooms. Selleck made no com­ ments about Enslen, and had no comment after the meet­ ing when asked about his decision not to support the decision made by the majori­ ty of the board. Thomas acknowledged both candidates were strong and both could offer good things for the district, He said bringing in Weber would have brought a fresh perspective to the district. Several people attended the meeting, many of them supporting Enslen. Enslen has been the dis­ trict assistant superintendent for the past five years. Previously he was the princi­ pal at Lee Elementary and assistant principal at the mid­ dle school. Throughout his career, he’s taught at every level in education from early elementary to high school. < .1 fl fl < <7, w •i I T* < 1 •1 I v I In This Issue... • Interest in fracking issue requires larger venue • Stamped, colored concrete may replace some bricks in Middleville • Scots win battle of unbeaten Gold soccer teams • Gold golfers get one of two contests in during wet week I <14- J I �_♦ _ •— ■* 'J ■*—'*'* r- ■ ** Page 2/Th* Sun and News Sahxday May 5. 2012 I Interest in fracking issue requires larger venue By Julie Mukurewicz Staff Writer So many people were interested in Wednesday nights in meeting Middleville concerning the fracking issue that the gath­ ering was moved at the last minute u> a larger location.

Some of the information deals specifically with lease sign­ ing and protecting (individ­ ual property rights There is a peaceful demonstration planned for Sat., May 5 at 10 a m. at the courthouse in Hastings and some people at Wednesday’s event said they hope to begin circulating formal petitions to send to the state and force the land leasing issue to a vote. Some people are also col­ lecting donations to create yard signs and bumper stick­ ers protesting fracking.

Still, there are concerns about water con­ tamination, changes to the water table, surface spills, and over use of w ater. Residents are encouraged to contact their legislators and discuss their concerns and issues with them.

Some said support should be sought from other organizations such as the Natural Resources Defense Council. The discussion closed with Perino thanking people for showing up and saying the board will consult an attorney. “I will go down fighting,” he said. As the meeting proceeded with its normal order of busi­ ness, an amendment to the minutes of the April 3 board meeting touched off consid­ erable’ discussion between Treasurer Vicki Ritchie who questioned a board decision to compensate Trustee Linda Ribble for loss of income due to a required appearance for a deposition in a lawsuit •It involving the township recy­ cling facility. Ribble is the trustee who has assumed responsibility for monitoring the facility, particularly its use by non­ residents. Material deposited by an individual involved violations of both state and federal laws. (A gag order has been issued in the case) The minutes were approved amended; as Ritchie’s motion to rescind the compensation for Ribble died on a tie vote, 2-2, with Rook and Perino dissenting, Ribble abstaining due to con­ flict of interest. Commissioner County Craig Stolsonburg reported that the county board had received two ordinances, one for farmland preservation and the second for preserva­ tion of open space. He said he objects to the open-space ordinance because he feels it involves paying people for land that does nothing. The commissioners have approved all union contracts for three years; all involve wage freezes and increased contributions by employees for health insurance. A pub­ lic hearing is scheduled on the address change ordi­ nance; address changes would be able to be done administratively. Commissioners are consult­ ing legal counsel to deter­ mine what can be done regarding the oil and gas leases scheduled for auction May 8. Township Orangeville Fire Chief Dan Boulter reported the department had responded to 17 calls for service in April; 14 were involved medical, two downed power lines, and one was an accident. He also taught a CPR class. The department's application for a grant to place 16 new defibrillators was turned down; however the old defibrillator at the fire station will be replaced with a new device funded by the Security Homeland Department. Greggorsen Marlene reported that Soup's On was still going strong and that the group has tightened its serv­ ice area. People are arriving at 4 a.m.; the first food truck does not arrive until 6 a.m. In part, she said, the time func­ tions as an opportunity for people to socialize. She stressed that the group Community Orangeville Outreach is not turning peo­ ple away but is referring them to sources closer to where they live. Apparently, some people coming from longer distances may be dou­ ble-dipping. There are 27 food pantries in Allegan County and 14 in Barry County. Marlene Leep reported on library activities in Martin, saying that the summer reading program, “Dream Big! Read” is set to begin with registration June 9 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Book sales and bake sales are scheduled at the library on Memorial Day. The book club will meet May 21 at noon to discuss the book, Having Our Say. Leep closed her remarks not­ ing that longtime library board member Jack Fenton had resigned and will be missed. Mark Paradowski, chair of parks and recreation, said the YMCA has secured more teams and will start the softball season the first weekend in June. No decision has yet been reached on the memori­ al bench for Julie ourdo. The remaining playground equipment has been installed. Planning for Orangeville Days Aug. 11 and 12, he said a band has been hired. Rook recommended turn­ ing down a solicitation for terrorism insurance, observ­ ing that Orangeville does not have the kind of facilities attractive to terrorists. In for­ mal board action, a contract with Green Gables Haven for $2,900 was approved. The board also accepted petitions presented by Cindy Dill seeking a special assessment district for weed control on Stewart Lake. During the public com­ ment period, Jim DeYoung, a resident of Yankee Springs Township, announced that he would be running in the primary to represent Orangeville as a county commissioner. The next board meeting will be Tuesday, June 5, at 7 p.m. in the township hall at 7350 Lindsey Road. ■I ! I 9 Call anytime for Sun & News classified ads 269-945-9554 J) '!

One concern is that the High Street intersections will look different than the other two and council members need to decide if they want to match the other two intersec­ tions as closely as possible, or do something completely different. Fleis and Vandenbrink officials said they will pay for repair costs at High Street. They suggested shar­ ing costs at Church Street, but village members said they believe the company should also be responsible for those changes.

Engineers said while the bricks were installed to industry standards, the grade at High Street may simply be too steep and their recom­ mendation was to replace them with the colored, stamped concrete.

The discussion came at Tuesday’s committee of the whole meeting where coun­ cil members heard a propos­ al from Jeff Dupilka of West Shore Services. He told council members that one siren will cover the village area. Dupilka said it would be ideal to work in partnership with Thomapple Township to have a system for a larger area. Dupilka said the siren he suggests for Middleville is the same type of siren in place in many other commu­ nities including Caledonia, Grandville, Kentwood and Walker. The siren operates on elec­ tricity with a battery backup. He said it should be able to be heard one mile in all directions and suggested the ideal location for the siren is at the old fire station on Main Street. If the village approves the purchase at its council meeting May 9, a system could be installed as early as midJune. Village manager Rebecca Fleury said the village will have to pay for the system out of the proposed $l. I mil — lion bonds. The council will approve a resolution of intent to issue t^ose bonds at the Can 945-9554 any time for classified ads May 9 meeting, but will have to wait a minimum 45 days before being able to issue the bonds. The bonds are planned to help the village pay for a variety of projects including street repairs, trails, parks, facilities, and utilities. Council members said they think it is important for the village to have a warning system in place. In other matters at the committee of the whole meeting: - Council discussed for­ mal council proceedings and will make modifications to continue with the committee of the whole meeting process bringing recommendations for actions to the council. - Council discussed the special assessment balance for High Ridge Crossing development and who should ultimately be responsible for paying those fees. The coun­ cil went into closed session to discuss legal opinions with attorney Mark Nettleton and will bring a recommen­ dation for consideration to the May 9 council meeting. iniusi wiklite t Un a ’ll. lAuto-Oivners Insurance INSURANCE SERVICES AGENCY, LLC 12293 W M179 Hwy. • Wayland, Ml (Gun Lake) (269) 795-7865 or Toll Free (800) 351-9521 Ss % �The Sun and News, Saturday, May 5, 2012/ Page 7 ' Caledonia poppy poster winners announced ■ ’>1 % % 51 k S K* \ /■ The Caledonia American Legion Auxiliary has spon­ sored a poppy poster contest for more than 60 years.

Led by facilitator Amber Toth of the Center for Michigan, an Ann Arbor O ­ based nonprofit group funded to promote educa­ tion issues in the state, 12 attendees used voting click­ ers to record their opening perspectives then spent conversation time on four main topics: teacher and school leader quality, ideas for improving learning, family and community involvement, and the pub­ lic's investment. The 12 participants gave the state as a whole a grade of C (80 percent) and their own districts A (30 per­ cent), B (60 percent) and D to 10 percent. The discussion regarding teacher and school leader quality offered three options. Improving teacher preparation sparked the most discussion.

The prevailing view was that a calendar geared to an agricultural society no longer made any sense.

Reducing class sizes did not draw much support, principally because a large •IO body of research apparently indicates that once a class size is down to about 15 students, further reductions tit are meaningless.

The last option, anytime learning any place through online technologies, while supported drew concerns about the lack of human interaction and the fear that it would become the answer because of costs. Family and community actual classroom setting much earlier in their col­ lege careers rather than waiting until their last year for the student teaching experience. All agreed that the move towards subject content was good. A partic­ ipant said that some pro­ grams were considering moving in the direction of making a teaching degree a five-year program. However, concerns about college debt in relation to teaching salaries led to the conclusion that such pro­ grams were probably not feasible at the present time. Another participant noted that a high quality teacher does not necessarily guarantee student learning because no one wants to talk about the role of socio­ economic status and other factors in the educational process. A second option, to pro­ vide more support to teach­ ers and leaders, received lukewarm support mostly because the present climate is unlikely to see a willing­ ness to provide funds for continuing education for teachers and leaders. A third option, holding teachers and school leaders more accountable for stu­ dent success, foundered on the questions of evaluation and measurement. Use of standardized tests such as MEAP scores leads to what was described as "teaching in a box," and what another participant called, "teach­ ing to the middle." Ideas for improvin learning offered five options. Expanding pre­ school and early childhood programs was overwhelm­ ingly supported by the par­ ticipants. One recommend­ ed taking some of the dol­ lars spent on high school seniors and diverting them to preschool programs. A second option, changing the school calendar, drew support both for lengthen- ~*^*4*T* who qualified under one guideline for special educa­ tion was specifically barred from qualifying for another program which would ben­ efit the child; she termed this the "silo effect." When asked about per­ ceptions of value on the $11 billion spent on K-12 education during the fiscal year 2011 -2012, 31 percent agreed that value was received. Another 31 per­ cent felt value was not received. When asked if spending on K-12 educa­ tion should be increased, 85 percent supported increased spending and 15 percent were opposed. The education guide pro­ vided by the Center for Michigan to participants contains a Michigan learn­ ing report card, which in an easy-to-understand format lays out a grim picture of where the state ranks nationally in the results of its investment in education at all levels. Previous community conversations have been held in Maple Valley and in Delton. The fourth and final community conversa­ tion will be held on Thurs., May 10 from 5:30-7 p.m.at the Barry Community Enrichment Center, 231 S. Broadway in Hastings. TK jazz band offers picnic pops performance The Thomapple Kellogg High School jazz band will be playing a free "picnic pops" type performance at Yankee Springs Golf Course on Sat., May 12 beginning at 6 p.m. The golf course is located at 12300 Bowens Mill Road, Wayland. The event takes place in the courtyard between the cart shed and the putting green. In case of bad weath­ er, the event will be held inside the cart shed. The public is invited to attend this free concert. 1 - DR. MANSKY Presenting involvement with schools was agreed by participants to be very important. One view expressed was that schools had to be more cre­ ative in figuringL< out how to make things work for par­ ents who work and do not have the flexibility to take off from work to attend a child's special day. Among the suggestions was using e-mail to communicate with parents to create a sense of involvement. The SJ suggestion was also made that workplaces needed to become more flexible. Schools could create more welcoming environments by developing strategies to invite families into the edu­ cational process. The last discussion topic, the public's investment, was faced with the reality that 41 percent of the state's budget is spent on K-12 education. One of the ques­ tions raised by a participant was the disparity in state aid among districts. The feeling was the money should be equal for every child in the state. Concerns were also expressed about the rigidity in the complex mix of state, local, and fed­ eral dollars.

In the past, many people stayed at one job, or at least one company, for almost their entire working lives. When they retired, they could typically count on a pension, the value of which was based on their years of service and earnings. But today, workers can expect to hold several different jobs in their lifetime, and to a great extent, pensions have been replaced by 401(k) plans, which place much of the funding responsibility on employees. So, assuming you will change jobs at some point, and you do have a 401(k), what should you do with it? Here are your basic choices: • Cash out your plan. If you cash out your plan, your company will likely pay you 80% of your account value, withholding the rest for federai taxes. And if you re younger than age 59 1/2, you may well be slapped with a 10% IRS tax penalty. Even worse, you’ll have lost a key source of your retirement income. Still, if you are leaving your employer involuntarily, and you need the money, cashing out your 401(k) is an option you may need to consider. • Keep the money in your company's plan. When you leave a company, your employer may allow you to keep your money in your existing 401(k). You may want to choose this route if you like the investment choices available in your plan. However, you might be caught by surprise if the company decides to change investment options. Furthermore, some employ­ ers may charge former employees fees to maintain their 401 (k) plans. • Move the money into your new employer's plan. If your new employer has a 401(k) and allows transfers, you could roll the money from your old plan into the new one. This might be an attractive option if you like the investment options in your new employer's plan. • Roll the money over to an IRA. You may find several advantages to rolling your 401(k) over to an Individual Retirement Account (IRA). First, your money will still have the potential to grow on a tax-deferred basis. Second, you can invest your funds in virtually any investment you stocks, bonds, choose government securities, cer­ nt: tificates of deposit (CDs), etc. Third, if you own more than one 401 (k) account, you could find it advantageous to consolidate them into a sin­ gle IRA, thereby making it easier to allocate and moni­ tor your retirement assets. And fourth, IRAs may give you greater flexibility if you plan to pass money to your children. In fact, if your child inherits your IRA, he or she has the option of stretchin e withdrawals over the child's entire lifetime , rather than taking the money as a lump sum. (If you do transfer funds from your old 401 (k) to an IRA, be sure to use a “direct rollover” to avoid the possibility of triggering unwanted taxes.) Before making any moves with your 401(k), consult with your tax and financial advisors. By looking closely at your options, and by getting professional guidance, you can make the choice that's right for you.

They built it with the help of another teammate, Eden Witvoet. Jake Baldwin (from left), Zakary Sherwood and Noah Hilton look over their marble creation that scores a goal at the end of the maze. Staff Writer Emma Norman dropped a marble at the beginning of her “candy machine" and watched it work its way through the “love lane,” into the “gummy bear maze,” out to “we mean war" field and finally into the “Swedish fish lake.” “We had so much fun working on it," said Norman of her marble skatepark proj­ ect. “I think it turned out pretty cool." Norman’s teammates, Kayla Lint, Cassidy Radford and Eden Witvoet all worked on the project for more than a week, staying after school for hours to put the marble skate park together and to make sure it worked. This is the fourth year that fifth graders at Caledonia’s Emmons Lake Elementary School have worked on skate parks as they learn about sci­ ence.

They’ve really put a lot of work into this project,” said Geerdes. The “bench warmers theme park was created by Mason Denczek, Zeke Miller, Brendan Christian and Zach Tuori. Their threeroute park featured fields of baseball and other sport cards, and a triple loop. Other students created parks with Hawaiian themes, beach themes, and bubble blowing. The marble athlete park ended successfully if the marble scored a goal at the bottom of the run. Sara Dougherty and Keara Finkbeiner blew bubbles while their marbles traveled along the maze, through the “world of random” and escaping to the flashing disco ball at the end. “It was really a lot of fun,” said Mason Denczek. “It works pretty good too.” Geerdes said this is an assignment students look forward to every year and one that he believes help them apply what they’ve learned in books to real life experiences and uses. “It's one thing to under­ stand what gravity is,” point- ed out Geerdes, “but it's something else to demon­ strate it in something cre­ ative like this.” •4 tauknfa ■.•511,..

Saturday, May 5. 2012/ Page 11 Street needs exceed available funds I Ji by Julie Makarewicz At Staff Writer T many projects and not enough money. That’s the issue facing Middleville Village council members as they discussed several road projects needing attention this year. Council members will vote next week on a resolu­ tion of intent to begin the bond process allowing the •It village to issue bonds at up to $1.1 million for a variety of projects including roads, parks, facilities, sidewalks and utilities. Once the resolution is approved, there is a 45-day waiting period when resi­ dents have the right to peti­ tion against the bonds. Village manager Rebecca Fleury said the bonds can be issued in a variety of for­ mats. She suggested splitting the bonds into two scries .fl '■I. i . Th J & 1.1 T; n L .Mi * AS it * z with the first series for proj­ ects that can be done yet this construction season. Those projects could include sever­ al r 1 projects. Grand Valley Metro Council analyzed all r • •is in the village recently and rated their structural needs. From that analysis, four projects were prioritized as the most significant areas of need: - Bender Road reconstruc­ tion from Green Lake r • •ito the south village limit with an estimated cost of $280,549 - Green Lake Road recon­ struction from Bender Road to the west village limits with an estimated cost of $541.089. - Stale Road mill and fill project from the cemetery to the east village limits al an estimated cost of $78,375 - Chip and seal project in Misty Ridge and Bryan wood neighborhoods. Estates Estimated cost of $50,400. A potential problem could be that, when council mem­ bers approved seeking the $1.1 million bonds, they dis­ tributed funds to a variety of and allowed projects $200,000 for streets. Fleury said because ocher project estimates have changed, there is another $128,978 available that can be put toward roads for a total of $328,413. It’s still only about onethird of what is needed to complete just the four priori­ tized projects. Council members have to decide now what is best for the village - putting all the money into one project, or spreading the funds out and completing several projects. “We have approximately 17.5 miles of road,” pointed out Duane Weeks, depart- ment of public works super­ visor. “We need to do a cer­ tain amount of repairs and upkeep every year. The prob­ lem is we don’t have enough money. We have to deter­ mine which ones we want to work on and which ones we’re just going to have to let go another year at least.” Weeks said about 70 per­ cent of the streets in the vil­ lage need some type of repair work. Council member Joyce r Lutz said she believes too much money is designated to other projects like trails and parks and should be put back into the streets first. After the resolution of intent for the bonds is approved and the waiting period expires, council mem­ bers can debate which street projects to do this year. e Look who’s back in town!!! r WANDA PARKER and she is ready to serve you at H Al R We 679 N Briggs Rood r 795-9566 Gue 15% OFF I All Services with Wanda 3 dunng May a June Quality Family Eye Care Since 1929 Bard Bloom, O.D.

We generally play a 44-2/’ said Thornapple Kellogg head coach Joel Strickland. “They like to play Rubina (Veerakone) in the center, so our goal was to kind of shut down that center then let our outside defenders shut down their forwards.” Easier said than done. Veerakone took a pass from teammate McKenna Maynard in the 33rd minute, skipped between two Trojan defenders at the top of the 18 and fired a shot into the open net for a 3-0 Caledonia lead. The Fighting Scots improved to 5-0 in the O-K Gold Conference and 8-1-1 overall with their 5-1 victory over the visiting Trojans. Veerakone had two goals and an assist. She found room in the center of the field and tipped a centering pass from teammate Olivia Clipfell to Alena Olsen in the ninth minute, which Olsen kicked in for the Scots’ first goal. Caledonia led 3-0 at the half, also getting a goal from Shelby Kresnak, off an assist from Kendra Stauffer. “Caledonia is good.” said Strickland. “I think, especial­ ly in the second half, we played a great second half against them. One, they’re a great team. They’re well coached. They’ve got some girls on their team that are fast as lightning, Rubina and Corrie Good and (Sam) Maher. Those girls, they’re lightning man. They’re so quick. Our defense did a good job. Our goal was just to contain them. Not to step too quick on them, and make them make that south pass, instead of penetration. In the second half I felt like we did a good job. Their two goals in the second half I felt like were mistakes on our part. We had opportunities in the second half too. and put one in on them. You definitely don’t want to lose, but I’m happy with how we played and I think our girls worked incredibly hard.” The Trojans are now' 3-1-1 in the O-K Gold Conference, and 6-2-3 overall. r* Erin Scheidel scored TK's lone goal.

Veerakone added the final goal, in the 55th minute, curving a shot from about 25 yards into the open net, as TK keeper Chelsea Totten was scrambling to get back into position after making one fine save on Stauffer. Totten had 16 saves on the 21 Fighting Scot shots that went on net. Ryann Zourdos (playing in the second half) and Brooke Hubbel, combined to make five saves for Caledonia. I thought we played better in the first half,” said Fighting Scot head coach Steve Sanxter. “I thought Middleville was resilient, then I thought we opened the second half good. I think, to their credit, Middleville started carrying more of the play and we weren't as organized. It was a hard fought game and we’re glad to get the • win.

Veerakone scored two unassisted goals in the final ten minutes of the halt to put the Scots up 4-0 at the break. Stauffer and Veerakone then added second halt goals for Caledonia. Zourdos made four saves in net for the Scots. “Shelby Kresnak was strong in the midfield, as were McKenna Maynard and Hannah Jablonski,” said Sanxter. “Annika Hoekstra played well, as did Gabby Kerr.” Thornapple Kellogg got three goals from Kelli Graham in a 3-3 tie with Forest Hills Eastern Monday in Ada.

Byron (1.131-4 •J 605). and Gaines (693-420) all rejected the bond issue, albeit by narrower margins. Although the proposal earned in the City of Grand Rapids, the home base of the col­ lege. the narrowness of the victory, 6.3465.088. suggests a disconnect between the community at large and the college. Similarly the proposal failed in Kentwood. IJ60-I.256 and Wyoming. 2.593-1.292. It appears that voter concerns about the continuing sluggishness of the economy, particularly the lack of growth in employ­ ment. may have been a significant factor in the defeat of the proposal. A second factor may well be the resentment some voters felt over material published within the last month before the election about provisions for cash payments to retirees or departing employees of the college for unused sick leave and vacation time. Many voters who were not aware of those provisions in employ ment contracts were outraged. Another factor that possibly contributed to the proposal's downfall is its placement on a May special election ballot rather than the August primary ballot or the November general election ballot Again, since GRCC was required to pay a portion of the costs of the special election, some voters were irritated by the fact that some of the college s resources would be devoted to the election costs. Sue DeSteguer. Kent County elec­ tions director, estimated the cost at about $230,000. At that time, the only item on the ballot was the GRCC proposal. The addi­ tion of other local proposals will probably reduce the cost to GRCC. by Julie Makarcwicz Staff Writer The bottom line for village manager Rebecca Fleury is that she ‘meets or exceeds’ all required expectations according to her review by the village council and most council members gave her glow ing remarks and praise. But the overall letter grade, a B-. was a bit unset­ tling to some council members who thought it should be higher. It would have been, if not for some unfa­ vorable comments offered by al least one council member Council member Phil Van Noord strongly disagreed with some statements made and said he had evidence some statements were false. He was adamant that people should not make such com­ ments unless they know they are true and factual.

The original proposal pre­ sented by Fire Chief Brian Bennett to the PS AC at its last meeting in March, would have provided 24-hour, 7day per week coverage for fire and medical emergency services and would have required some general fund dollars to supplement the amount raised by the 1.5 mill levy for public safety servic­ es. The proposal was revised to add two staffers Monday through Friday and one on Saturday and Sunday, reduc­ ing the need for general fund dollars to about $9,600 for the year. The committee had taken no action earlier on the pro­ posal because of concerns about •It cost and whether the coverage was really neces­ sary. The fire department's budget is being constrained, in part, by the increasing costs of the policing contract with the Kent County Sheriffs Department for two dedicated shifts in the town­ ship and the decline in rev­ enue caused by lower prop­ erty valuations. Don Koopmans, PSAC chair, opened Tuesday’s dis­ cussion by saying that, although the original propos­ al was well thought out and well done, he did not want to bring it to the board because he could not be sure there was enough support on the board to pass the proposal. At the March meeting, Township Supervisor Bryan Harrison had questioned the need for 24/7 staffing at the fire station and no action was taken on the proposal. When Bennett suggested a compromise to full cover­ age five days per week, Koopmans expressed an interest in “a little more cov­ erage.” “The question is the [need] for two people on the weekend,” explained Trustee and committee member Rick Snoeyink. “We don't think the economy is on the mend. We aren't seeing it top out. We are still facing declining revenues." Treasurer Richard Robertson had forecast flat revenues through 20122013. Snoeyink’s comments drew a response from com­ mittee member Melanie Salamone, a banker by pro­ fession, who said the pace of residential construction was increasing. Committee member Robert Berg added that he new homes being built in his neighborhood were expensive. The proposal was revised to add two staffers Monday through Friday and one on Saturday and Sunday, reduc­ ing the need for general fund dollars to about $9,600 for the year. Salamone suggest­ ed trying the revised propos­ al for the remainder of the year. Bill Thornton, commit­ tee member, moved to rec­ ommend approval of the staffing proposal to the township board of trustees. Berg supported the motion and it passed unanimously.

Bennett said the scene was incredibly realistic with debris and people strewn over several acres. A wing from the plane had torn off part of the top of the South Residence Hall at Davenport, leaving students stranded in a darkened build­ ing rapidly filling with smoke. An emergency room was set up in the Davenport Nursing Center. Emergency medical treatment was pro­ vided, triage was completed, and patients were dispatched by ambulance to the appro­ priate facilities, Patients were initially triaged where they lay and given a tag. The tags were black, red, yellow, and green. "If you had a yellow or green tag, you were going to be lying in the grass for a a while," observed Bennett. The red tag indicated a Library cultivates more than minds by Fran Faverman Staff Writer The Bennett reported that Caledonia had been the com­ mand department for the recent crash emergency exer­ cise conducted at Davenport University and Farmers Insurance Company. The Gerald R. Ford International Airport, according to Bennett, is required to con­ duct a crash emergency exer­ cise every three years. In other years the exercise has been held on the airport property. This year the deci­ sion was made to hold it off the airport property. The exercise simulated a crash emergency involving a plane with 90 passengers and crew. Nine departments partici­ pated in the exercise which was evaluated by Federal Aviation Agency personnel and evaluators from other departments and agencies. The Kent County Sheriffs Department was also on site, directing traffic and handling The Caledonia Public Library will be cultivating more than minds this sum­ mer according to Elizabeth Guarino-Kozlowicz, manag­ er. The Caledonia Women's Club is sponsoring the library’s garden as part of its gift to the library. A new program on grow­ ing food is set to begin with planting the garden in a raised bed at the rear of the library. The bed was built by the Boy Scouts. The garden, which will focus on the vegetables and herbs needed for pizza will be planted Tuesday, May 22 at 6:30 p.m. with the help of local gardeners and library staff. The pizza garden will be maintained by the partici­ pants.

Dive teams were also involved because a caller to 911 had reported seeing someone land in a detention pond, which was ten feet deep. Hence divers were needed to recover the person. Bennett said the experi­ ence had been a fantastic learning experience for him and the department. He is particularly proud of the regard some evaluators shared with him informally. Caledonia can be very proud of how its department per­ formed, according to Bennett. The committee confirmed an earlier decision to go to an alternate year schedule for the open house. There will be no open house this fall. The committee also learned that a department request for a grant to fund the replace­ ment of self-contained breathing apparatus had been turned down. Discussion of the first-quarter crime and incident information from the Kent County Sheriff’s Department was postponed until the June meeting. The next regularly scheduled meeting of the committee will be on Tuesday, June 12 at 7 p.m. in the fire barn at 8192 Broadmoor Avenue. I ai!

One comment said Fleury “obfuscates” in her commu­ nications and relations to council. Six of the seven board members admitted they didn't know what the word even meant. Lutz only asked if they had bothered to look it up and did not admit to writing the comment. Fleury said it meant “to confuse” and confessed she, too, had to look up the word’s meaning and didn’t agree with the statement. Some council members took exception to a request from Lutz for an accounting of what Fleury does on a daily basis. Fleury said she did not provide that informa­ tion to Lutz as requested after discussing the request President with village Charles Pullen. “I took direction from the village president who said it was not necessary for me to provide a list of all my daily tasks,” said Fleury. Van Noord said he also disagreed with the request. “I trust what she's doing on a daily basis,” said Van Noord. “I don't have to ask for an accounting of her every minute of work.” There were also comments that Fleury consulted with outside experts “excessive- ly.” But Fleury said most of the outside expertise she consults is free of charge and, if she does need to make “I trust what she’s doing on a daily basis. I don’t have to ask for an accounting of her every minute of work.” Council member Phil Van Noord contact with the village attor­ ney, she uses good judgment and consults with the village President before doing so.

Right now, the village of Middleville does not allow farm animals within residen­ tial areas and a change of zoning ordinance is needed to make the Campos’ back­ yard chicken farm a reality. The couple asked council members to consider making the change and to allow chickens throughout the vil­ lage with some stipulations. Stacey Campos Ht suggested allowing up to eight chickens in the R1 zones and up to four birds on smaller lots. “They (chickens) make very little noise and are good pets. They are less work and less mess than a dog," said Stacey. She said many cities and villages around the country have dealt with this issue and many have agreed to allow chickens even in large cities. 616-322-2277 &< \\ Email: staufferboss32@aol.com Website: HennysYarnShop.com Hours: Tues., Th. & Fri. 10-5; Wed. 1-9; Sat. 10-1 5f ft • WTTet:.. ■vic l/2 Price $25 for 10 Classes of Cardio (reg. $50) That’s $2.^0 per cl ass for Zumba, Cardio Blast, and Hoop Dancing!

She said the ordinance could be crafted so that birds have to be contained on the property and that shelters for the birds must be placed a reasonable distance from property lines. She also said the ordi­ nance could be written to prohibit slaughtering birds on the properties. “I think there is a lot of interest in this," she said. The couple presented research and national data relative to raising chickens in urban areas. Council mem­ bers said they will take some time to review the informa­ tion and research and will discuss the matter further at their June 5 committee of the whole meeting. In other business at the May 9 council meeting: • Council heard about the swift and sure sanctions pro­ gram by the Barry County Courts from Judge Amy McDowell. Barry County is one of only three counties in the state taking part in this pilot program that gives some offenders a chance to stay out of prison and instead take part in intensive pro­ grams, rehabilitation and probation. • Residents in High Ridge Crossings requested the council table action regard­ ing payment of connection fees for properties within the development. Residents said they had not had time to study or to consider a pro­ posal prepared by legal counsel for the village and wanted an opportunity to review before the board made any decisions. Council members agreed to table action until the May 22 council meeting. • Council approved pub­ lishing a notice of intent to issue capital improvement bonds of up to $1.1 million for trail and street and side­ walk projects. The bonds may be issued in one or more series for various capital improvement projects in the UK1 village. Once the notice is published, there is a 45-day waiting period giving voters an opportunity for referen­ dum. The publishing of intent for the bonds does not commit the village to any certain projects at this time. Some council members said they are concerned that too much is being considered for trail and not enough is planned for streets and side­ walks. Decisions about what •It projects to do and when to do them will be made after the 45 day waiting period. • Approved reappointing Shellie McQueen and Brian Appel to the Downtown Development Authority. Each is a four-year term expiring in Feb. 2016. • Approved reappointing Eric Lannes to the Local Development Finance Authority for a four-year term to expire March 2016. • Approved reappointing Darlene VanderWood to the housing commission for a five-year term to expire April 2017. >5 - * ■ ♦r L THE PODIATRIST IS OPENING A NEW OFFICE IN CALEDONIA The Dutton PTO wishes to thank the following people/ businesses for their generous donations to our Carnival Raffle: Located Under the Clock Tower in the D&W Strip Mall 9385 Cherry Valley Ave. SE Caledonia s 616-891-2577 Board Certified in Foot Surgery by the American Board of Podiatric Surgery Medical and Surgical Management of the Foot and Ankle DPM PC David W. Mansky Payment Plans to be a safe haven for mute swans, they will continue coming back to nest, and more will also come,” Schaefer said. If the village decides to seek a permit, it can be good for up to five years. Village officials can determine acceptable numbers of mute swans to maintain in the area and continue culling the herd until those numbers are reached. The most notable differ­ ence between mute and trumpeter swans is that the adult male mute swan has an orange bill, while the trum­ peter’s bill is black. Council members said they will have to discuss the issue further before making any decisions. DR. MANSKY Presenting Dr. David W. Mansky are very aggressive." The DNR’s long-term goal, she said, is to reduce the state’s population of mute swans to less than 2,000 by the year 2030. There are several ways of doing this, according to Schaefer. One way is to make certain mute swan eggs don’t hatch. Another is to obtain permits from the DNR to cull the mute swan popu­ lation in an area. Schaefer said the U.S. Department of Agriculture currently has grants available for mute swan culling. The village or some other gov­ ernment entity must submit an application to the DNR for permits first in order to obtain the grants. “If the millpond continues Request allowing chickens in village brought to council Camps will be Tues., Wed. & Thurs. at Henny’s Yarn Shop Call or stop in to register ■ i A proliferation of mute swans may be harming the natural environment and wildlife of the millpond in Middleville. Sara Schaefer from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources told vil­ lage council members during the May 9 meeting that they may want to consider meas­ ures to control the mute swan population. She toured the millpond by kayak and counted at least 30 adult mute swans. “Of greatest concern from that tour is the number of mute swans in the area and the pairing of a mute swan with a trumpeter swan. That’s not what we want to see," she said. Mute swans are not natu­ ral to Michigan and are often very aggressive. They can force out the native trum­ peter swan, which is on the state's threatened species list. Increasing numbers of mute swans threaten success­ ful breeding for trumpeter swans. Schaefer said there are signs the population of mute swans are also changing the millpond lie to more of a marsh area by reducing the amount of underwater vegetation and chasing away other water­ fowl, such as wood ducks. “This pond should be alive with ducks and wood ducks and other breeding water­ fowl. But there are very few," she said. “Mute swans ------ u^ww.manskypodiatry.com--------- Taking Appointments Now, Evening and Saturday Hours Available o s i ■- Celebration Cinema Big Apple Bagels Fire Rock Grille Jefs Pizza Meijer - Gaines Twp.

The source also said one registered bid­ der was removed from the landman” auction when a (the title given salesmen who seek property to be leased out) asked for private citi­ zens to be removed. The bid­ der reportedly responded that the meeting was open to the public if the bidding require­ ments were met. Citizens from Barry County, concerned about the oil and gas leasing rush going on in their backyards, attended the May 8 auction of leasing of state-owned land. Close to 100 people from all over the region also protested in front of the State Capitol. In Tuesday's department of natural resources auction, $3.6 million was spent to buy oil and gas leases on Michigan state land — the money buying mineral rights to land and the possibility of drilling under 91,225 acres in 21 counties in the Lower Peninsula. All of the state recreation and game area in Barry' County was on the block, 23,419 acres — the most of any county in the auction. According to local sources and the Detroit Free Press, a resident County Ban*y attending the auction was removed from the auction and later taken into custody, charged with disturbing a public meeting.

Id Preservation of agriculture •4 and open space in Barry County will likely survive the discussion and politics of county government. The relationships between com­ missioners may not. After having recommend­ ed at last week's committee of the whole meeting that the full board direct its agricul­ tural preservation board to amend and update the agri­ cultural preservation ordi­ nance as well as to prepare a separate open space preser­ vation ordinance, commis­ sioners apparently still had scores to settle at Tuesday's official board of commis­ sioners meeting before offi­ cially providing approval to the resolution. “I think this board is send­ ing some mixed signals to the general public in regard to farmland and open space," said Commissioner Jeff VanNortwick of last week's 6-2 vote to recommend that the two ordinances be sepa­ rate. “We had an opportunity to amend an ordinance to include open space that, essentially, aligns Barry County with a number of other counties, state statutes and other elements. “We have chosen to add another layer of govern­ ment," he said; “we're put­ ting another ordinance out there for people to deal with. I find that a little novel in the approach in that we’re supposed to be reducing govern­ ment under these circum­ stances and, in fact, we’re increasing it.” Van Nortwick's statement summarized the discussion of one week previous when, in a frustrating review of the issues, some commissioners expressed seeing no distinc­ tion between including the new open space ordinance with the existing agriculture preservation ordinance or dealing with them as sepa­ rate issues. When Commissioner Ben Geiger referred last week to the issue as a toss up and characterized it with a collo- resolution was approved on a 6-2 vote — with VanNortwick and Commissioner Don Nevins again voting in the minority — before returning to addi­ tional statements from last week’s committee of the whole meeting that raised his objections. “I’m going to go back to some comments that Commissioner Van Nortwick made about my role as chairman," began Stolsonburg. “Yes, I was elected chairman to bring ideas together and allow the board to bring ideas together but, when 1 was elected chairman, I did not lose my voice. I still have the right to represent the people of this county and of District 6." Addressing VanNortwick directly, who had objected to made statements by Stolsonburg that VanNortwick termed biased, Stolsonburg issued a person­ al challenge. “This is the second or third time you’ve brought accusations against me per­ sonally. And if you're going to do that again, you better have the facts. I do not have an agenda in regards to this, and I do not have any type of bias. I’m simply discussing it from my point of view and from the point of view of the people in my district." VanNortwick used his concluding member's time some minutes later to respond, ‘ “1 have nothing to say, Mr. Chairman, other than I think when we come to have con­ versations over sensitive subjects that we should be in tune to everybody's feel­ ings,” said Van Nortwick, “and not use any office as a bully pulpit." In other business, Development Economic Alliance, highlights of which included the realignment of Barry County from Region 3 to Region 8 in the state’s regional planning commis­ sion structure. The change will move Barry County in closer cooperation with municipalities to the north and is expected to provide enhanced economic opportu­ nities. Bymes suggested that the annual membership fee of $2,828 be divided evenly between the county and its townships to which Commissioner Dan Parker inquired of fellow board members if the issue could be approved immediately. Stolsonburg & suggested that the matter be presented to a future committee of the whole meeting previous to a formal resolution for approval at a subsequent offi­ cial board meeting. Bymes also called atten­ tion to a jobs program titled Ready Now, which links unemployed and underem­ ployed individuals with cur­ rently available positions. Following models used in Holland and in Ionia County, the program will work with 10 area employers to call attention to 50 available job opportunities and connect them to people seeking employment.

All roads in Michigan carry a visual survey rating, Brad Lamberg, managing director of the Barry County Road Commission told the road summit audience, and by comparison, comparison. Barry County roads rate above most counties. Following the standard Pavement Surface Evaluation and Rating sys­ tem, which uses a 10-point scale to group roads into Good (8 to 10), Fair (5 to 7), and Poor (1 to 4) categories, Barry County roads currently carry a 6.23 PASER rating. “BCRC, when split out against the other 82 road commissions in the state, has some roads that are in very good shape, relatively speak­ ing ” pointed out Lamberg. “But we have trended, since Approximately 90 municipal leaders and citizens make up the audience for the 2012 Road Summit hosted by the Barry County Road Commission at the Expo Center. maintenance and repair enters the discussion.

Though Indiana also charges 19 cents per gallon, it also has divested the expense of the 1-80 freeway by selling•2J it to a private company that now operates it as a toll road. Illinois also charges 19 cents per gallon but also offsets that amount with numerous toll roads. When comparing state revenue road numbers nationwide, Michigan ranks 30th in average per-mile expenditure and 48th in terms of per capital annual expense for road repair, maintenance and construc­ tion. To keep the road services that Barry County drivers have become accustomed to, the BCRC forecasts that $11.7 million in revenue is needed each year. Because a typical year’s revenue comes in at $6.8 million, creating a $4.8 million shortfall, the county is falling behind each year. Lamberg was prepared to talk about possible solutions and introduced Joanna Johnson, Kalamazoo County Road Commission managing director and Dave Healy, supervisor of that county's Texas Township, who addressed special assessment districts as one possibility. Texas Township is the only township of 16 in Kalamazoo County that ded­ icates a road tax to the KCRC for maintenance, repair and construction. After a vote to approve the special assessment proposal. Healy said residents are reporting great satisfaction in road condition upkeep and improvements with what works out to be a $60 annual assessment. In Barry County, six townships have dedicated road millages in place, and Fiala, pointed out that those that do have the best roads in the county — with Orangeville Township pro­ viding an outstanding exam­ ple. “The general consensus among most people is that they pay too many taxes right now, and we don't want to get into that debate,” said Lamberg in a telephone interview following the meeting. “We just want to point out what people do pay •It for roads and the position it puts us in.” According to surveys dis­ tributed during the meeting and now’ being returned. Lamberg reports that most respondents recognize the funding difficulty and would be willing to increase their driving costs by five to 10 cents per mile, up from the current 2.5-cent per-mile tax. After its opening offer to educate a key segment of the community with the 2012 Road Summit, the road com­ mission plans to expand its outreach to larger segments of the community through various marketing and adver­ tising venues. Though his topic was one of some seriousness. Lamberg was able to close the road summit on a humor­ ous note after ending his remarks with a call for col­ laboration on road funding issues. “Who collaborated on the project [in downtown [>n Hastings] that has Broadway and Michigan under repair at the same time?” came a final query from the audience. “Apparently, no one,” deadpanned Lamberg, who also quickly added the proj­ ect is a state highway juris­ diction.

' X * & u'-< ft., A sample of Michigan farm operators will have an opportunity to provide farm information during the upcoming June agricultural survey period. These surveys are among the largest and most impor­ tant conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture National Agricultural Statistics Service Michigan Field Office and serve as a primary source of agricultur­ al information, according to a press release. The survey is expected to provide accurate and reliable data about 2012 p[antecj acreages of major crops, grain stocks and livestock in Michigan and the United States, Producers rely on the sur­ vey results to make produc­ tion, marketing and invest­ ment decisions. Congress utilizes the information to design better regulations and farm programs. Industry ana­ lysts, Extension agents, farm organizations and agricultur­ al lenders use the data in a variety of ways to directly benefit growers. Growers across Michigan will be contacted during the coming weeks to obtain data regarding their operations. These data will be collected by mail, phone, and personal interviews. Growers also will be given the opportunity to report on the Internet for selected surveys. All survey responses are protected by law and remain strictly confidential. Information from individual operations will not be dis­ closed but will be combined with others to make reliable state, regional and national estimates. Results will be released soon after the survey is com­ plete. The acreage and grain stocks reports will be released Friday, June 29, at 8:30 a.m., and the quarterly hogs and pigs report will be released at 3 p.m. that day. A copy of survey results can be obtained at www.nass.usda.gov or by calling the Michigan Geld office, 800-453-7501. | , hi:, ** KELLOGG COMMUNITY COLLEGE <.. ■Jis * Ne fl 1 - ‘ . v I* —-t-Ar \ 1 k t< tin ji b&b J v F-ilrsi 1 J✓ 1 ** ** * W MW Industrial Welding f 1 WFLa A* *9 £ di A’ ■ ■■ 4» at Hastings High School Z 4 1 a « 5 H < is 51E5.’ OPEN HOUSE 4« I Public Welcome! % Wednesday, May 16, 2012 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. nW'1 jiasraif’ B Room El07 f* 1 k* JT I * Hastings High School 3k* 520 West South Street For more information call Kellogg Community College Fehsenfeld Center 269-948-9500 \ I i I ■ I I 41 Invitations 50 - $40 75 - $56.25 100 - $65 * >■* -J; / V.4 • *, ” -? < MH•>•«■»**** II st* 4: i I* I As us about other available options and quantities. * - £• K *.

The victory gives the Fighting Scots homefield advantage in the upcoming O-K Gold Conference Tournament. They'll host Ottawa Hills Thursday in the first round of the league tour­ nament. after getting a non­ conference tune-up in at home against Portage Central Monday.

The Scots could not hold off the Hawks though, as FHE converted on a free kick with 3:44 left on the clock. Good scored her second goal in overtime, off an assist to Stauffer. Stauffer then sealed the win after receiving an assist from Veerakone. The rain was joined by thunder and lightning last Thursday (May 3), as the Scots traveled to East Kentwood. The match was delayed for 45 minutes, and then ended with about 12 minutes to play in the second half with the Falcons up 1-0. East Kentwood had just gotten the first goal of the game about with Jaime Canada to set up i for another goal. G Instead of Jozwik to Canada, it was Canada to Jozwik to set up the final Scot goal, which was put home by Veerakone again. Ryann Zourdos only need­ ed to make one save to eam the shut-out for the Scots. Caledonia was 10-2-1 overall heading into Friday night's non-conference con­ test with East Grand Rapids. Things were much tighter Monday in Ada. as the Scots pulled out a 3-1 overtime victory over host Forest Hills Eastern in the rain. Caledonia outshot the Hawks 23-5. Despite that, the two teams battled score­ less through the first 64 min­ utes of play. Good finally put the Scots up 1-0 with 16 opening histle Wednesday. The Scots came out firing shots at the Wildcat net. but it took 17 minutes to finally find the back of the net. Sam Maher got that first goal, launching a long shot in for a 1 -0 lead. Caledonia would up its lead to 3-0 in the first half, with a couple of quick goals from Rubina Veerakone and Corrie Good off assists from Kendra Stauffer and Maher. Maher opened the scoring in the second half as well, getting another assist from Stauffer. Maher then helped set up the next Scot goal, hit­ ting a ball ahead to Heather Jozwik who quickly played ahead to Veerakone for the score. Jozwick then teamed up two minutes before the match was called, as the ball squirted out of a scramble in front of the Scot goal and in. Sanxter said his defense and goalkeeper Brooke Hubbel had been under pres­ sure for most of the contest. His team put together a few more offensive opportunities in the second half, but were unable to get clear shots at the goal. “Alena Olsen was out­ standing, marking one of the area's top players." Sanxter said “ Sarah Spees played a strong first half, but was held out of the second half as an injury precaution. Corrie Good and Kendra Stauffer worked hard all evening, coming back on defense and getting forw ard on offense." » » o 2009 BUICK ENCLAVE •• II Caledonia f - - ----- "J < •» — 3^ ! 24,985 2003 SATURN L2OO ------------ —— We Are Under Construction!

Timmer followed with a question aimed at what Rodriguez would see as his legacy, how he saw the Caledonia brand. Rodriguez said it was important for the vision to be embedded in the district and in the community. “We chased the image and we grabbed it," he conclud­ ed. LoMonaco asked how Rodriguez would maintain visibility, noting that some superintendents do not want board members in schools. Rodriguez said he would be in classrooms and would invite board members to go with him. He added that visi­ bility was particularly impor­ tant as the district makes the transition to the state’s com­ mon core curriculum. He cited the math program as an example, saying that the object is to support the per­ son designing the program. He also added relationships with community organiza­ tions as important. White asked, “What is the most difficult challenge for you?” Noting that that he was somewhat new to this. Rodriguez said he preferred to see opportunities and would go back to the founda­ tions. He said he believes in resolution conflict and avoids emotions in seeking a solution. He added that pas­ sion for implementing the solution reached was impor­ tant. Nemmers, commenting that he has been through the public forum, (see related story) asked what he saw as opportunities. Rodriguez replied, “Synergy.

Rodriguez responded that the superin­ tendent is the chief executive officer. “My style is [to be] collaborative with others ... if pos­ sible. I will make decisions if needed." Raising an issue that con­ cerns many parents and edu­ cators, Donohue inquired, “How do teachers maintain creativity and don't become test teachers?” Rodriguez made it clear that while the basic founda­ tion content is not nego­ tiable, it is not all that mat­ ters in the educational process.

Township officials approved the millage propos­ al at their May 14 board meeting. Property owners currently pay 1.5 mills designated exclusively for emergency service needs. That millage expired in December 2011 and township officials say it’s necessary to continue the assessment. Township Supervisor Don Boysen said he believes the millage is extremely important to continue what town­ ship residents want to main­ tain and to continue emer­ gency service coverage as in the past. “It’s (the millage) pretty much what we use to operate the service,” said Boysen. “Without it we would have to take funds from the general fund or cut back or look for some other sources for fund­ ing.” Township Thornapple Emergency Services includes fire a~d ambulance. Services are also provided to Yankee Springs Township and parts of Irving Township. Those townships pay a contract rate. The Aug. 7 proposal seeks to renew the millage for four years from 2012 through 2015. Funds are used for the operation of the emergency senices as well as funding for purchase of fire and emergency equipment. The 1.5 millage will raise about $351,300 in the first year of the levy. The millage will mean $1.50 per $1,000 of taxable value of property in the township. In addition to the millage, the TTES relies heavily on grants to help fund equip­ ment for the department. In the past five years the depart­ ment has been able to pur­ chase more than $280,000 in equipment with the help of grants and matching funds available from the millage. 1/2 OFF Salon Services FREE _____ Full Size Bottle of Lotion with any package purchase ol mo.

If you look hard enough, you can find many obscure holidays, but few of them can instantly capture people's interest as much as Be a Millionaire Day, which is “celebrated” on May 20. While amassing a million dollars may not be as signifi­ cant a milestone as it used to be, most of us would still feel pleased if we could someday attain “millionaire” status. While there are no perfect formulas or guarantees, here are some steps to consider when working toward any investment goal: • Put time on your side. The earlier you begin saving and investing, the better your chances of reaching your financial goal. You can't expect to “strike it rich” immediately with any single investment, but by investing year in and year out, and by choosing quality investment vehicles, you have the oppor­ tunity to achieve growth over time. •4 *4 • Pay yourselffirst. If you wait until you “have a little extra money lying around” before you invest, you may well never invest. Instead, try to “pay yourself first.” Each month, move some money automatically from a check­ ing or savings account into an investment. When you're first starting out in the work­ ing world, you might not be able to afford much, but as you advance in your career, you can increase your contri­ butions. • Control your debts. It's easier said than done, but if you can keep a lid on your debt payments, you’ll have more money with which to invest. • Take advantage of tax deferral. When you invest in lax-deferred vehicles, such as a traditional Individual Retirement Account (IRA) and your 401 (k) or similar employer-sponsored retire­ ment plan, your money has the opportunity to grow faster Quality Family Eye Care Since 1929 Bard Bloom, O.D.

As an investor, one of the best things you can do to build your wealth is to increase the number of shares you own in your investments. So, look for buying opportu­ nities, such as when prices are low. Also, consider rein­ vesting any dividends or distributions you may receive from your investments. • Don 7 he overly if cautious. For your money to grow, you need to put a portion of your investment dollars in growthoriented vehicles, such as stocks. It is certainly true that stock prices will always fluc­ tuate, sometimes quite sharply, and you may receive more or less than your origi­ nal investment when sold. But if you avoid stocks entirely in favor of more sta­ ble vehicles, you run the risk of earning returns that may not keep you ahead of infla­ tion. As you approach retire­ ment, and even during retire­ ment, your portfolio will probably still need some •A growth potential. Work with your financial advisor to determine the appropriate approach for you. • Think long term. By cre­ ating a long-term investment strategy and sticking to it, you’ll be less likely to take a “timeout” from investing in response to perceived nega­ tive news, such as market downturns and political »!• crises. Following these suggestions may someday allow you to reach the point when your financial goals become a reality for you.

ReLeaf Michigan, a statewide non­ profit tree organization, has challenged the public every two years to find Michigan's largest living tree through its Big Tree Hunt contest. In addition to providing a way for the public to engage in a tree-focused activity, the Big Tree Hunt was created to take over the efforts of Paul UK Thompson, a botanist, who searched for Michigan’s big trees and kept records of them since the early 1940s. Today> ReLeaf Michigan encourages Tree Big Huntin; I among all age groups to assist natural resource experts in tracking these vital historical living landmarks. The contest is also a way for a hunter to potentially gain celebrity status in the National Register of Big Trees, which is issued every two ;years by American Forests. But first, winners of the Big Tree Hunt are for­ warded to the Michigan Botanical Club Champion Tree coordinator for the state of Michigan for further review and possible inclu­ sion in the state champion tree list. If the tree makes it to state champion status, it is submitted for inclusion in the National Big Tree Register. Today Michigan ranks sev­ enth in the country with 27 national champions. The Michigan Big Tree Hunt is an activity for fami­ lies, groups of friends, fun dates, or solo adventurers. Certificates and prizes are awarded for: • Largest tree of any species submitted by a Bi Tree Hunter over )6 years old. • Largest tree of any species submitted by 15 years old and under. • Largest white pine (Michigan's state tree), by a person of any age. • Largest tree of any species for each county. • Largest tree (any species) that is larger than current the registered Michigan state champion. Contest forms can be downloaded from http://releafmichigan.blogsp ot.com/p/big-tree-hunt.html or obtained by calling ReLeaf Michigan, 800-6427353, or emailing *4 infoC“ ReLeafMichigan.org. The deadline for entries is Aug. I. A prize ceremony to honor the winners will be held dur­ ing September.

She said it's definitely a win-win for everyone and will put Middleville on the national trail website and maps and briiqg tra11 enthusiasts to the community. The trail town designation does not require any funding from the village. Lamoreaux told board members earlier there are no real obligations for the village and no cost at all.

MDOT will remove some trees and other vegetation along the right of way at Payne Lake Road and M179, an intersection that is particularly difficult for driv­ ers emerging from Payne Lake Road where the trees limit visibility and make it harder for drivers to see traf­ fic approaching from the east. Supervisor Al McCrumb •I® reported at the May 10 meet­ ing of the Yankee Springs Township Board of Trustees meeting that MDOT will cut down the trees and will also remove the material. McCrumb also reported that the contract for addition­ al ambulance service during the summer season from Memorial Day and including the Labor Day weekend has been approved by the Thomapple Township board. Mary Trustee Cook requested a clarification to the contract indicating that, while the public discussion had stressed the advantages of having an ambulance sta­ tioned at the Payne Lake Road fire station for its near­ ness to Gun Lake, the same advantages also applied to •I® residents of both Cobb Lake and Payne Lake. Ttye additional ambulance service also includes the Fourth of July holiday which occurs mid-week this year.

She is running because she is con­ cerned about the quality of service currently offered by the office of prosecutor. Nakfoor-Pratt said she sees a need for task forces on anti­ bullying and elder abuse as well as a need for child abuse education and a child advo­ cacy center.

Chuck Pergler, 12839 Theris Drive, appeared to present petitions represent­ ing 51 percent of the proper­ ty owners on the street for a special assessment district to LI solve a road drainage prob­ lem. The required public hearing is scheduled for June 14. The Barry County Road Commission will do the work. The special assess­ ment would cover the esti­ mated cost of $33,862 to upgrade the road repair from ■V slag and seal ($5,318 from the township) to a 2-inch mill and fill. The approxi­ mate cost to homeowners is $250 a year. Treasurer John Jerkatis’ request for a motion to approve the special assess­ ment district for Theris Drive at a cost not to exceed $34,000 was approved unan­ •I® imously by the board. Moving into reports, Dave Middleton, director, TTES, informed the board that the need for the $5,495.39 repair to the pump on the tanker was caused by a lack of use. Exercising the pump has now been added to the monthly maintenance sched­ ule. Service to Yankee Springs continued to be busy with four calls for fire and 17 for medical needs in the month of April. For the year to date, there have been 78 runs to Yankee Springs. Middleton also requested board approval of an expen­ diture of $832.70 to Kendall Electric for the installation of drop-down cords for equip-r ment at the Payne Lake Road fire station. The board approved unanimously a motion to allow up to $900 for the drop-down cords and installation. County Commissioner Craig Stolsonburg reported ’ * * that he and‘ county administrator Michael Brown are talking about what can be done on the fracking issue. There are also two separate ‘ farmland ‘ ' ordinances, one for preservation and one for preservation, open-space before the commissioners, Responding to an inquiry from Cook, Stolsonburg con­ firmed that there would be no expenditure of tax dollars for the purchase of development rights.

In April, there were three permits for new homes, four for accesso­ ry buildings, and one each for a deck and a fence. Clerk Janice Lippert reported on the May 8 elec­ tion for the Grand Rapids Community College millage proposal. It was defeated in Precinct One, 145-46 and in Precinct Two, 46-17. During the final public period. comment period, Alan Walker, 12971 Theris Drive, objected to the special assessment district on Theris •I® Drive approved by the board earlier. Walker noted that, when a similar problem had occurred on Park Drive, the residents didn't have to pay for the repairs. Cook informed Walker that, because a mistake had been made on Park Drive, the township had paid onethird of the cost of those repairs, the road commission had paid one-third, and the remaining third was paid by the residents on Park Drive. McCrumb added that further discussion should occur at the June 14 public hearing on the special assessment district. Bill Baughman asked for news on the Cuddy Drain, that Drain observing Commissioner Russ Yarger was present. In the ensuring discussion it was determined ?. that Yankee Springs had been involved in work on the Payne Lake and Sandy Beach drains amounting to $110,000. Mike Cunningham of the Planning Commission suggested the purchase of a computer projection screen for power point presentations and pictures and plats for the i r -1 _____ • — use of the commission and of the Zoning Board Appeals. Frank Fiala, chair of the Commission, Planning requested approval for members of the commission to attend the Michigan State Citizen’s Planner meeting on June 7. The board approved an expenditure of up to $ 1,000 for up to six people to attend the meeting. Jerkatis closed out the comment period by observing that safety for township residents and others attend­ ing the meeting could have been improved had the park­ ing lot been expanded. He hoped the bid process was proceeding and that the lots at the hall and at the Payne Lake fire station could be improved before the elec­ August tions in and November. The next regularly sched­ uled meeting of the board will be on June 14 at 7 p.m. in the township hall at 284 North Briggs Road. Middleville’s Memorial Day parade is Monday morning age.

In Kent County, Lacks Enterprises Inc., a supplier of components to the global automotive market, plans to locate a new plating facility in Cascade Township between 60th and 52nd streets on Kraft Avenue. The new facility will manufac­ ture chrome-plated plastic parts for the automotive and appliance industries. The company will invest $30 mil­ lion at the new location and create 120 full-time jobs. Lacks officials said they chose Michigan over competing sites in Kentucky, South Carolina and Virginia. Had the company chosen to expand elsewhere, 139existing jobs would have been transferred out of state. the During the decision process, the ability to access the Kraft Avenue site was identified as a barrier. Kraft Avenue is in poor condition rfrom -----zn.L cu -----60th Street to 52nd Street. The portion from 60th Street to a half mile north is not constructed to all-season standards. The other section is in need of repair. These deficiencies could limit the company's ability to ship products and receive freight. The Kent County Road Commission plans to recon­ struct the southern portion of the roadway and repair the northern half-mile. In addi­ tion, a left-turn lane will be added at entrances to the plant to increase capacity and enhance safety. Construction is planned for 2013. The estimated cost of these transportation improvements is $985,053, including $380,852 in state Economic Transportation Development Fund funds, $442,312 in federal surface funding, transportation $120,162 from the Kent County Road Commission, and $41,727 from Lacks Enterprises. Transportation Economic thing I did to get everyone to quit telling me to do it,” she said. “I never dreamed I would get on the show or get that far.” But Price won the hearts of fans around the world and she said her Facebook page explodes with comments too many for her to even read sometimes. Following the television run, Price said she was able to perform in Las Vegas and California and on the East Coast. Former show host Jerry Spinger took a liking to Price and helped set her up with a recording contract in Nashville, Tenn. He’s really nice — not at all like people might think,” said Price of Springer. She admits it has taken a lot longer than expected to get her CD out, but she’s happy with the results and eager to find out what’s next for her life. Price is currently working as a field coordinator for Sawyer Nursery which sup­ plies perennials to Home Depot stores. Price said she has three favorites songs on the new CD - “Still Be Alive,” “ Lost In the Dream,” which is the title of the CD, and “Fighting for You.” For more information about the Jessica Price Band visit its website at www.jessicapriceband.com where fans link to the band’s can i.also ........................

Eligible road agencies include MDOT, county road commissions, cities and vil­ lages. "The road improvements funded with these grants will encourage major companies to invest in our state, creating jobs and contributing to increased economic develop­ ment across both peninsu­ las," Steudle said. Development Fund ©grants totaling $4.9 million will leverage $570,534,000 in private investment at a private/public investment ratio of 116-to-1. "Transportation plays a key role in reinventing Michigan," said State Transportation Director Kirk T. Steudle.

It was a good lesson for them.” Wells talked with her stu­ dents about how many peo­ ple don’t have enough food and can’t always just go to the cupboards and get a snack or make a sandwich. Students shopped at Meijer for the groceries, then toured the food pantry where Eleanor Komdeur, director, let them shelve some of the supplies they purchased. “It’s really exciting to see these kids here,” said Komdeur. “What a wonder­ r *4/Hj^n^is - Tr-r/sJ Cups xi-jJJoons -» P.sc/ds rJ<* C-jtendurs ssk Accessories M =jnd j/juch njorsl — / f >> ■rp > v , jf/ #r * 1 y t 1 — •• I L ** • r A r Is // *1 • ?

For Dutton Christian Elementary Students that was not just a rhetorical question, but something they actually got to do thanks to an anonymous donor who offered each classroom $200 if it could come up with an acceptable, age-appropriate, community service project. For Kathy Wells and Tami Boomsma who teach a kindergarten class at the school, the answer was as simple as looking out their classroom windows across Hannah Lake Avenue to the Redeemer Covenant Church and the large food pantry I k Graphics --PU ng' * I *j?4* I w Anneka DeKam puts some cans on the shelf ful gift.” Komdeur said the pantry relies on donations from the community and last month gave food to about 47 fami­ lies. She said around the hol­ idays, the numbers usually jump to more than 60 fami­ lies. The food pantry is open the first Monday of each month and offers people in need everything from canned fruits, vegetables, bread, cereal, cleaning supplies, personal care items, and even fresh meat. Komdeur said it’s doesn't take long for supplies to be used up and shelves once stocked full empty again. Kindergarten student Natalie Smit said she liked buying a big box of Goldfish crackers for the pantry. “I think somebody will like them a lot,” she said. Classmate Jake Vermaas said he liked helping people. “We just tried to act like servants for poor people,” said Vermaas. Smit said she didn’t know people needed food in the •It neighborhood and she’s glad the class could help and Vermaas said shopping was difficult. “I wanted to buy candy, but we didn’t,” said Vermaas. “It wasn’t for us and we had to think about what they needed.” School Principal Don Netz said he’s thrilled the children are getting the chance to become servants in the community and to expe­ rience what it’s like to be giving and helpful to others. “Each class is doing some­ thing different,” said Netz. “It's creating an awareness of needs in the community and it makes them realize they can make a difference no matter how young or how much money they have. They can say ‘I made a dif­ ference,' and that's a great lesson for kids.” Netz said the enthusiasm of the teachers has also been encouraging. “It’s not something they have to do,” said Netz. “ It was something that was offered and nearly every one has been working or already done a project.” Third graders will be working at the Kids Food Basket to assemble lunches for other students in need. Another class purchased stuffed animals to give the Hug-A-Bear organization that assists kids with grief or who may be ill. Fifth graders visited the Degage shelter in downtown Grand Rapids. Their first eye-opening part of the jour­ ney was a ride on the Rapid bus service to downtown. “Most of our kids haven’t ever ridden public trans­ portation,” observed Netz. “but for people in the shel­ ters, it's the only way they may have to get around.” The class purchased Rapids bus tickets for the shelter to give to people to use the bus to get to work or appointments. Maddie Leenstra, a fifth­ grader, said it was definitely something she's never done before. “I really wasn’t used to seeing places like that at all,” said Leenstra. “We’re used to eating and sleeping in our homes and they don’t have any place to eat or sleep.” Spencer Hulst said it was something he won’t forget. “We bought like 200 bus tickets for them,” said Hulst. “They were really excited about it. There are a lot of good people at Degage. It felt good to be able to help and made me kind of proud.'' Teachers hope the lesson is something that students not only will remember but will relive many times over. “We want to be servants in the community and help oth­ ers,” said Wells. “Hopefully these students will learn that anyone can make a differ­ ence.” 1351 N.

Farmers from 1,245 coun­ ties across 39 states were eli­ gible to compete for the award of $2,500 to be given to a local nonprofit organiza­ tion of the recipient’s choice. Wenger said he selected the veterans memorial com­ mittee because he wants to see Middleville create some­ thing to honor people who have served the country. “It's a good idea what they want to do to honor people who have served the coun­ try,” said Wenger. “We have the freedom to do what we do because of the veterans. We don’t recognize these people enough.” Through the program, Monsanto is putting more than $3.1 million into com­ munities. LaRaine Salmon, repre­ senting Green Valley Ag for Monsanto, said the purpose of the program is to recog­ nize the role America's farmers play and help them grow their communities by supporting local organization that are important to them — whether it be 4-H, FFA, fire departments, schools or other civic groups. Nearly 600.000 farmers participated in the program, with one winning farmer selected from each eligible county.

(Photo by Brett Bremer) “There will be many a hard day's night, but in no time at all, good day sun­ shine will greet you, and you can work it out,” said Hamilton, as a warm wind whipped through Bob White Stadium. “Whether you end up to be a paperback writer, a taxman or even submerged in a yellow submarine, one day you'll wake up from your golden slumbers and, baby, you're a rich man. Because of all your hard work, a day in the life of your future will be so much sweeter.” Keynote speaker Cynthia Tjoelker, a math teacher at Thomapple Kellogg Middle School, also addressed the idea of overcoming adversity and growing from it. “Class of 2012, thank you for asking me to speak. All of those classes that you were forced to listen to me — and you ask me back,” began Tjoelker. “Thank you. This is the ultimate honor for me. Class of 2012, class that I have loved, my goal is to say something that you will really use in this life, and sadly I'm not going to talk about math.” Instead, she spoke of her Kimberly Johnson accepts her diploma during the TKHS commencement ceremony Thursday. (Photo by Brett Bremer) son's story. Her family’s story. Tjoelker got a call three years ago from a hospital in Chicago, during which she learned her 27-year-old son Daniel had suffered from a rare spontaneous brain bleed. He came out of a coma after surgery, but had lost the use of his right side. His abilities to speak, swallow, read, walk, play his guitars and work as an artist were gone. Many months passed before the family was able to take him home. “I'll never forget arriving at his apartment,” Tjoelker said. “It took us about 20 minutes to get up seven steps, and Chicago is cold. Exhausted, Daniel got my attention once he was inside. pointed at his wheelchair and shook his head, ‘no!’ At that time, he could not speak, but I knew he was refusing to use [the wheelchair). He was telling me, ‘I'm not giving up. I just got up those seven steps, and I want you to move that wheelchair out of here. I am daring to move into a frightening unknown and keep trying.' It was bold, brave and magical. “Class of 2012,1 want you to point at the wheelchairs in your life and shake your head ‘no!' There are many situations where a wheel­ chair is sitting close by and you [must] decide, am 1 going to sit down and give up, or am I going to get up and do what 1 need to do?” She told the graduates to “dare to be a Daniel.” Her son has since regained the ability to walk, without a cane, and has regained his speech. Tjoelker told members of the TKHS class of 2012 that if they took only one thing from her speech, to take this “I loVe you. Get out there, get up when you fall, dare to be amazing, and make a dif­ ference in this world” Retiring Superintendent Gary Rider said he believes the class of 2012 will. He took over as superintendent five years ago, when this graduating class was in the seventh grade. “You've all had great careers here at TK, but now it's time for both you and me to start anew, to reinvent our­ selves,” said Rider. “Although it may have taken me an extra 40 years to get here with you, to get out of school, I could think of no better way to end my career i’* I**. , IS > 1* < * I ..i-SLltl . nt ds 11 ’nW! « I.,’ to imisiii fatal •i ihfa( i fa si Mas !^i Continued next page .- JI Si,' .Si |W $ A- TKHS senior class president Shannon Hamilton adresses her classmates as superintendent Gary Rider looks on from his seat during the commencement ceremony in Middleville Thursday evening.

Worst, accompanied by her mother, Mary Worst, plans on entering a pre-dental program at either the University of Michigan or Aquinas College. Andrusiak, accompanied by her mother, Phyllis Andrusiak, will enter the honors college at Ferris State University and study early childhood education. Both young women thanked the club for its gen­ erous scholarships. 340 Approximately women — grandmothers, mothers, aunts, and friends — accompanied the seniors who attended the festivities. Guests were greeted at the entrance to the school cafete­ ria by Sue Siler, Sandy Robertson, Patti Hollstein, and Doris Sleeman.

He listed examples that exemplified those traits, end­ ing with senior Alex Roy’s wrestling match in the Gold O-K Trojans’ with dual Conference Hastings. “Alex, his match was done and so was he,” Rider said. “Alex was surrounded by trainers, doctors, parents, coaches and teammates. He'd suffered a concussion and a separated shoulder among other injuries, and when it was over, I don't think Alex had any idea where he was or who he was. He may have lost his match, but he refused to get pinned in spite of all these injuries.

In the end, his effort was the difference in the final score in the match. The strength of spirit Alex demonstrated is a common characteristic I've seen in many of you sitting here today.” After the awarding of diplomas, graduating senior Laura McKeown gave the closing address, reading a quote from Gandhi.

Henrietta Stauffer, known to everyone present as “Henny,” regaled the audi­ ence with tales from her childhood in Caledonia and the struggles to learn English. One of her mother’s cures for idle hands was to insist that her daughters learn to knit. And knit she did. At the time she had no idea how valuable --------- and what doors her knitting skills would open. Her focus in high school was to become a missionary nurse. Henny said that, in addi­ tion to the spark of learning, another spark was created by a classmate, Larry Stauffer. Following graduation she and Larry were married and went off to Michigan State University where Larry pur­ sued a bachelor’s degree and Henny took care of their three children. On the tamily’s return to Caledonia, Henny became a volunteer in school activities, especially in the classroom. According to Henny, her husband insisted it was time for her to go to college. Courses appropriate for a nursing student proved to be an academic disaster, but Larry would not hear of her nuittinp. Anorooriate counquitting. Appropriate seling and testing led to the decision to pursue a career in teaching. “Because I knew every­ body in Caledonia is probably why I got hired,'' said Henny of job prospects after _1graduation, r._L, I“and I1 tnunkt taught seventh-grade English for 14 years.” Nevertheless the drive towards mission work was still present and when she was approached to go to an AIDS orphanage, Henny went. She observed that the attitudes of her students were because different they viewed education as a way out of poverty. Henny helped to build a library and then to stock the shelves with books. An interest in helping women to improve their lives continued for Henny. She taught knitting and arranged the sale of their goods. She also discovered baskets made from the local sisal yarn. .esides her mission work, Henny’s other objective was to have her own store where knitting supplies would be available and Henny's Yam shop opened in the village of Caledonia. It was so successful she moved to larger quar­ ters. She also sells goods made by her African friends in the store. “It is about what we do — not money,” was Henny's parting advice to the gradual•jng senior • women.

May 26. 2012 <I * CHS GRADUATION, continued from page 2 A 1 F Last minute touch up before crossing the stage. 297 graduates marched in and took their assigned places. A broadly smiling Glazier welcomed the audi­ ence and introduced the Board of Education. Jessica Tamburrino, vicepresident of the class, intro­ duced valedictorian Jordan Davis and briefly reviewed his academic career, notin; that it included seven advanced placement classes, membership in the National Honor Society, as well as clarinet in the orchestra and saxophone in the jazz band. the Later in the program, Tamburrino also announced that Emily Kimes was the salutorian and Samuel Plettner was the class presi­ dent. Davis' address focused on the light side and usied touches of humor to clothe its underlying seriousness. Davis began by saying that he owed his success to Google, Wikipedia, and the inventor of the graphing cal­ culator. He thanked the fac­ ulty for putting up with his class for four years and their families for putting up with them for much longer. Moving to a more serious note, Davis observed that class members were getting ready to go out into the world. Reviewing his own career, he said the high school years had been a time •- to explore interests, to find one's passions, and to see where it took one, but he cautioned, "This is not the finish; it is a checkpoint. Davis wondered whom he could consult for words of wisdom. His answer: Steve Jobs, Albert Einstein, and Thomas Edison. From Jobs, wisdom would be the willingness to trust that the dots will connect, but if you wake up every morning to something you love, who cares it the dots do not connect? From Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison, wisdom would be the value of work and being willing to fail. Davis concluded with words of advice from a teacher he did not identify. Laughter broke out among the graduates as he intoned the familiar advice: “Make your classes, don't drink, don't do drugs, and don't have sex," were among the familiar words of wisdom. Glazier returned to the podium to present the class and to announce that a poll of 1,600 high schools nation­ wide in Newsweek magazine had placed CHS in the top 1.000 of high schools in the country. CHS ranked 875th in the poll and was joined by some other high schools in the area. He added that the ranking was due in no small Rebecca Ann Ponsetto receives her diploma. measure to the Class of 2012. Superintendent Jerry Phillips thanked the class for its hard work over its 13 years in the educational sys­ tem. He said it was a great honor to be in the top 1,000 of the many thousands of high schools in the nation. "Whatever you do, do your best," Phillips told L graduates, “you will always represent Caledonia," noting that some will go onto col­ lege, some will enter the mil­ itary, and some will go to work. Phillips concluded his remarks by reading the names of the top ten scholars and commenting that there were an unusual number of students just under the top ten, confirming the view that this was a very talented class. He then turned the pro­ ceedings over to the board of £1 education. Board President Mike Patterson began the presenta­ tion of diplomas aided by Debra McCarty, board secre­ tary and longest serving member of the board, fol­ lowed by board members David Nemmers, Nemmers. Bill Donohue, Mike LoMonaco, Marci White, and Mary Anne Timmer. Jordan Davis turns his tassel with a little flair, after the seniors have been told they've meet all the requirements to graduate. Following the presenta­ tion of the diplomas. Glazier asked the graduates to move the tassel on their mortar­ boards from the right to the left. The changing of the tas- seis was immediately fol­ lowed by the traditional toss­ ing of the mortarboards, fol­ lowed by some hasty scram­ bling to retrieve them for more picture taking. Glazier asked the audience to rise for the traditional singing of the Alma Mater I he by the Choralaires. Following•- the Alma Mater the orchestra began the pro­ •1 cessional.

Bonnie Slayton, represent­ ing the Payne Lake Homeowners Association, took the position espoused by an organization called Ban Michigan Fracking. According to Slayton, hori­ zontal hydraulic fracturing — known more commonly as fracking requires the drilling of a deep well, angling pipe a quarter-mile horizontally, and then inject­ ing under high pressure six million gallons of a mixture of water and chemicals to break up the shale which releases the gas. The process, said Slayton, has the potential to create severe environmental damage. Slayton said there is evi­ dence of damage and referred to earthquakes in Ohio, polluted wells, and air pollution resulting from the evaporation of the fluid in the air. She supported a rec­ ommendation that Yankee Springs and other affected communities join together to hire an environmental law specialist to oppose fracking. In Slayton’s view, it is better to be proactive now because, despite regulation, accidents can happen. She concluded her remarks by saying that she had petitions to put the issue on the ballot as a con­ stitutional amendment. Supervisor Al McCrumb then departed from the pub­ lic comment period •H to read a letter of resolution drafted by township attorney John Lohrstorfer. The resolution states that, since 75 percent of the land area of the town­ ship is composed of lakes, streams, ponds and state lands with significant resi­ dential, commercial, and cul­ tural uses, fracking would have a direct impact on resi­ dents of the township. The resolution would put the township on record as urging a ban on horizontal hydraulic fracturing for the commer­ cial extraction of natural gas. On a motion by Clerk Janice Lippert and supported by Trustee Mary Cook, the board voted 5-0 on a roll call vote to approve the resolu­ tion. Cook urged further action saying that she hoped the resolution was not the end of the effort to halt fracking. She urged county Commissioner Craig Stolsonburg, who was in the audience, "to take the matter seriously." The large audience of at least 40 people applauded Cook. Later in the discus­ sion, Cook suggested a lawyer should be employed to write an ordinance ban­ ning the practice. Deb Masselink, who sup­ ports fracking that is limited to the shallow vertical wells currently used in Michigan, said the Antrim shale layer in Barry County is shallow and makes horizontal hydraulic fracturing uneconomic at the current low prices for natural gas. She observed that the state currently requires three layers of casing in the shal­ low wells. "Our shale is flimsy," said Masselink. "Think of a wet graham cracker." Masselink also added that the gas in Barry County is of a poor quality. Concluding her remarks Masselink said that leasing was about con­ trolling land. Permits are required and drilling would take place on private land. George Williston support­ ed Slayton’s call for an envi­ ronmental law specialist, as the public comment period continued, and urged hiring an environmental lawyer. However, Warren Wheeler stated that it made more sense to hire a geologist. Jean Stuckey said she had not heard anything about dis­ posal arrangements of the fracking fluid. Paul Heystek wanted more information from neutral parties and an unidentified speaker felt the township had no business interfering with people attempting to make a little money from their land. Supervisor McCrumb, in a departure from his custom­ ary style of allowing lengthy public comment then stepped in to end the discussion. "I cannot allow the work of this board to be distract­ ed," explained McCrumb. “There are other things we need to do this evening." McCrumb added that he felt additional comments would be more appropriate at a public hearing and offered to call one with appropriately credentialed speakers repre­ senting!- both sides of the dis­ cussion.

Plus, a 529 plan is flexible: If the child, grandchild or other beneficiary decides against college, you can transfer the unused funds to someone else, tax and penalty free. Now, let’s turn to a 529 plan’s estate-planning bene­ fits. If you think that you may need to reduce the size of your taxable estate, and you also want to create a legacy you may be able to enjoy during your lifetime, you may find that the 529 plan offers a solution for you. When you establish and contribute to a 529 plan, the assets leave your estate — but they don’t leave your control. If your named beneficiary decides against coi­ lege lege and and you you don don’t’t have have another family member to whom you can transfer the account — or if you simply change your mind about funding the 529 plan — you can get your money back at any time, although, as men­ tioned above, you'll have to pay taxes, and possibly a 111 I n 11 \ 1 UP 10% IRS penalty, onIT the earnings.

Of course, as you're probably aware, higher edu­ cation doesn't come cheap — and the costs seem to con­ tinuously climb. You can help your children — or even your grandchildren — meet these expenses by investing in a 529 plan. And this col­ lege savings vehicle offers estate-planning benefits. As a college funding vehi­ cle, a 529 plan offers some significant benefits. When you contribute to a 529 plan, your earnings accumulate tax free, provided they are used for qualified higher education expenses. (Keep in mind, though, that 529 plan distributions not used for qualified expenses may be ,?ubjectto federal and state incOme tax and a 10% IRS penalty.)

A revised staffing propos­ al for the fire department and a sign ordinance drew much attention, but the continuing efforts of Supervisor Bryan Harrison, Clerk Jennifer Christian, and Treasurer Richard Robertson to negotiate a contract with the City of Grand Rapids wastewater system was at the top of the list. The aim of a proposed wastewater plan is to divert some of the sewage pro­ duced in the Northwest Sewer District Authority in Caledonia to Grand Rapids rather than sending it to the wastewater treatment plant owned by the Village of Caledonia. Since most of the growth in Caledonia if forecasted to come in the northwest area, the disposal of sewage is a significant issue because the current arrangements with the Village of Caledonia contain a triggering point which will require expansion of the current plant. The township is obligated to pay for the the expansion. expansion. for There are also maintenance costs associated with the village contract. The village has recently submitted a maintenance list estimated at $988,000. $988,000. The list was described to be, in part, a wish wish list list that that could could be be pared pared down somewhat. somewhat. down Robertson said the options facing the township are expansion expansion of of the the existing existing are plant or finding another source of disposal. He added that expansion of the existing plant would be only a short term solution. It would not be economically feasible for the township to build its own plant, according to Robertson, because of the amount of money that would have to be borrowed. Current revenues produced by the Northwest Sewer District Authority are obligated to paying off the bonds issued to build that system. While in the past the Grand Rapids system has not been noted for a willingness to be flexible in its contract Robertson arrangements, said that that attitude has said changed. The next step is the preparationof preliminary documents but, but, Robertson Robertson documents pointed out, out, there there are pointed are also also costs with aa costs associated associated with Rapids Grand Rapids contract Grand contract because construction to reach the Gaines township system isis required. required. Initially, system Initially, Robertson had hoped that costs could be funded with cash on hand. He cautioned, however, that a current estimate of $625,000 may require some borrowing. "How much of the $900,000 are we on the hook for?" Trustee Don Koopmans asked to which Robertson replied that the township was obligated for 50 percent of the cost. "Grand Rapids is a long­ term contract [30 years],” Koopmans continued, “I want protection from additional costs being passed on by Grand Rapids." Robertson responded that the Grand Rapids contract is very structured structured and and transpartranspar­ very ent to to which which Harrison Harrison added added ent that, currently, the township is a stepchild to the village and that an additional advantage to the Grand Rapids alternative is that it would be a gravity feed system.

Barnes said her husband, Jim, and two other men, who jumped out of their vehicles, ran to the Jeep to help. “All three men must have received minor bums,” said Barnes. Jim Barnes, who pulled Eckhoff out of the driver's side window, lost all the hair on his hands, arms and part of his eyebrows and the hair on his head. The hot tires on the Jeep started to explode, she explained, and everyone was worried the gas tank also would catch fire and explode. When Eckhoff, was safely placed on shady ground away from the burning wreck, a nurse stepped out of another vehicle to help. According to Karen Barnes, neighbors pulled together and started bringing cold water and wet towels for the girl. As a precaution, firefight­ ers watered down the field across the road where the helicopter was scheduled to land, Barnes said. Eckhoff was airlifted to Bronson Hospital for treatment of bums and a broken left femur. One news report stated Eckhoff suffered bums to 25 percent of her body. She is reportedly in fair condition.

Boulter said he believes it was simply a case of an inex­ perienced swimmer. Bhattarad was a sophomore at Kentwood High School. Someone from the boat called the store from which they had rented the boat. An employee came out to help, and that’s when 911 was called. Boulter said his department was then dis­ patched at around 3:15 p.m. Several boaters in the area also went to the site, trying to locate the victim. Boulter said a language barrier also created difficulty until someone associated with the family arrived to interpret. By the time the Barry County Sheriff's Marine Division arrived, the boat had drifted due to the wind, and the drowning location was confused. Seven divers were available, and a search grid of 300 by 400 yards was established. Water visibility at the time was less than five feet. The sheriff’s department was assisted on Saturday by Yankee Springs, Thomapple and Orangeville townships emergency personnel. Even though the search was con­ stant, the boy was not found Saturday. Sunday, the Kent County Sheriff s Department assist­ ed with an advanced sonar system. Only an old boat lad­ der was located. Before Bhattarad dove in the water Saturday, family members had been taking photos. They emailed photos to the Barry County Sheriffs Department Sunday, in the hope it might help the divers. With the aid of the photos, deputies were able to pinpoint the boat’s location around the time of the drowning. Staff from the Ottawa County Sheriff's Department joined the search and brought its sonar equipment plus a diving robot equipped with GPS and camera. Within an hour of relocat­ ing the search area 300 yards to the southeast, the body was located. According to Capt. Bill Johnson of the Barry County Sheriff’s Department, coop­ eration and collaboration of numerous law enforcement, marine, and emergency agencies was the key to locating the body, itoMtita I Ml* r* I ®|i G < * i Htfllfl p* • »4 to plA * 1 HASTINGS jl CoOd 269-205-4900 Downtown Hastings on State St. f 11 DUALITY TREATERS $4.75 Jun GQTI.com and on Facebook 1 BARGAIN TWILIGHT DAILY 4:00-6:00 PM * exclude* Digital 30 (3) Stadium Seating O No passes SHOWTIMES 6/2 - 6/7 SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN (PG-13) O® % । SAT-SUN 12:45. 4 00. 6:50, 9:40 MON-TH 4:00, 6:50, 9:40 O(s)3D MEN IN BLACK 3 1 •• (PG-13) $2.50 PREMIUM PER 30 TICKET .1 "■ DAILY 4 30. 9:20 O(s)MEN IN BLACK 3 (PG 13) SAT-SUN 11 45. 2:10. 7:00 MON-TH 7: WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU'RE EXPECTING (PG-13) SAT-SUN 1:00. 9:55 MON TH 9:55 BATTLESHIP (PG-13) DAILY 4 15.7 10 THE AVENGERS (PG-13) SAT-SUN 12:30. 3:30. 6:30. 9 30 MON TH 6 30. 9:30 "i"% •l SJ rj �The Sun and News, Saturday, June 2, 2012/ Page 3 Residents urge resolution to oppose fracking by Julie Makarewicz Staff Writer 'J 1 I r. h Residents urged Thomapple Township planning commission members at its Tuesday meeting to send a message to the township board to ban the practice of fracking. Several residents voiced their concerns, hoping to per­ suade some type of action and discussion by the plan­ ning commission. Speakers noted other communities that have passed resolutions to ban fracking procedures and urged the township to consider following the same path. Planning commission member Linda Gasper said she understands those con­ cerns, but also wants more information about fracking. If the township bans the practice, she also wants an ordinance that can be enforced and is unsure if local government can over­ ride whatever the state does. Planning member Ross DeMaagd said he agrees it is a concern and, if an ordi­ nance is in place, he wants it to have “some teeth. “Our water supply is pre­ cious,” said DeMaagd. “If we screw it up, it will be potentially devastating for our planet. 1 want more knowledge before I lake action.” Plannin members said they will send a message to I the township board at the June 11 meeting to encour­ age continued discussion of the fracking issue. In other matters, the planning commission: • Approved termination of the special land use permit for the Dykstra mining operation on Adams Road. • Heard a report on annu­ al mineral extraction special use inspections and approved sending letters to owners noting minor concerns. • Approved a master plan update with engineering firm Williams and Works. The master plan needs to be updated every five years and this year will be a fairly sim­ ple review and update.

Individuals who would like to learn more DISCUSS,0N’ continued from page i focused her efforts on the community department’s relations. She has co-chaired the open house for four The third major item up for discussion was the sign ordinance. Robertson said he has spent untold numbers of hours reading sign ordinances. His basic conclusion is that one can find a justification for anything and cited the recommendation from the the Caledonia Caledonia Tow nship Planning Commission for a rate of message change on digital signs of two seconds, Harrison observed that he had not found that rate any­ where else in his reading. Harrison noted that one of the issues in Caledonia had been different setbacks from property lines. The solution was to measure the setback from the center line of the road. There were also differ­ ences in height requirements for signs in different zoning districts. Particularly of con­ cern to Harrison is the differ­ ence in heighths allowed in neighboring commercial zoning districts. The signage ordinance continues to be a work in progress. A discussion topic of minor interest to the board was property that had revert­ ed to the county for delin­ quent taxes. Such parcels are offered first to the munici­ pality in which they occur. Robertson indicated and board members agreed that the five parcels available to the township were not of interest to them. Robertson then explained that a series of budget amendments was needed to shift funds. For example, a reduction in the amount set aside annually for the capital equipment reserve has been reduced from $70,000 to S55.OOO •because -•the -life of the existing equipment has been extended by two years - a mo\e that Robertson said was made possible b\ the superb condition of the equipment. A transfer from the general fund in the amount of S14,000 w as also needed and a revised budget for the department of SI98,000 was also needed. The budget amendments were approved unanimously. In other board actions, the board approved a fireworks permit for a private fire­ works display by Ed Hekman. 9353 Enchantment Drive. Harrison noted that he and Trustee Dale Hermenet had investigated the limited number of complaints received about the display and had concluded that it was not a significant problem since most of the neigh­ bors liked it. The second fire- -■ works permit before the board was for contractor Gan Richards for the Caledonia Community Independence Day event. Both permits were approved unanimously. The public comment peri­ od was used by Walter Bujak. who announced that he had Tiled for the post of township supervisor in the Republican primary on Aug.7. He cited his eight years of service on the township board and the planning commission, saying that he wanted the voters of Caledonia to have a choice in the priman. He thanked the board for its courtesx to him. The next regularh sched­ uled meeting of the township board w ill be on Wednesday, June 6 at 7 p.m. at the township 8196 offices.

That’s the image I have of him — aged goodness.’’ Others remembered Boysen’s years of quiet com­ munity service. Robert Bender said he won’t forget the time Boysen spearheaded efforts to build a new home for an elderly woman in town - all done with volun­ teer labor and dollars. Bender also called Boysen a “rock" in the United Methodist Church who has given countless volunteer hours. Pastor Mike Conklin said Boysen has an ability to draw people to him. “His level of commitment and involvement draws peo­ 5* ple to him," pointed out Conklin. “They see his qual­ ities of strength and commit­ ment. He makes a difference in his community, his church, and this club." Others recalled Boysen’s days as a newspaperman owning the Sun and News and offering “Boysen’s Berries.’’ Thornapple Kellogg Superintendent Gary Rider said Boysen is a strong per­ son who helped him get familiar with the community and with the schools. “On behalf of the school district," Rider addressed thank you for Boysen, everything you do." Dan Parker said he consid­ ered Boysen a mentor for many years. “I’ve often sought his advice on many things," said Parker, a Barry County Commissioner who’s not seeking reelection this year. “He’s a voice of reason and he has a calming effect. He’s a great historian who loves his community. I thank him for blooming where he was planted." Village manager Rebecca Fleury said that, whenever she has a difficult day, she knows it’s just a short walk up the hill to find an encour­ aging word and a smile from Don at the township office. “I get great advice from him,’’ said Fleury. “He has made it a lot less scary and he’s a wonderful mentor and friend." Judy Sloan said she feels like she’s unofficially become part of the Boysen family. She said she'll never forget the family's kindness when her husband needed a heart transplant and the entire Boysen family donat­ ed its Christmas funds to help her family with medical expenses. “As far as being a hero, said Sloan, “your whole fam­ ily is a hero to my family.” Thomapple Township fire chief Dave Middleton got emotional when he talked about his friend and mentor. “All of a sudden you real­ ize you become part of his family - and you never asked for it,” he said. “I’ve worked for two great men in my life, my father and Mr. Boysen."

Boysen said he deeply appreciates the honor and thanked the Rotary' club for helping him grow and become a better leader. His wife. Joanne, said she couldn't be more proud of her husband of nearly 58 years. “This is something he deserves." she confirmed. It He's been very dedicated and involved and he loves this community."

This report is a snapshot of the quality of water that we provided to you in 2011. Included are details about where your water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to EPA and State standards. Our goal is to provide you a safe, dependable supply of drink­ ing water. Trained, state certified personnel operate your water utility. It is our pleasure to provide you a safe abundant water supply. General Information Your water comes from four ground wells, two of which are located near the water storage tower on the west side of town. A third well is locat­ ed off Irving Rd. at the base of the old ski hill. Production well # 1 on Irving Rd. and production well # 3 on the west side are built to a depth of 78 feet and utilize unconfined sand and gravel aquifers. Production well # 4 on the west side is built to a depth of 352 feet and utilizes the Marshall Sandstone aquifer. Well # 5 is located to the west of Bryanwood Estates Development near the Thornapple River. This well is built to a depth of 197 feet. tr f For Your Information Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses health risks. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPA: Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791). Definitions: Water Terminology • N/D: Non-Detects - laboratory analysis indicates the contaminant is not present • ppm or mg/1: parts per million or milligrams per liter o mg/l: one part per million corresponds to a single penny in $10,000 • ppb: parts per billion or micrograms per liter o ppb: one part per billion corresponds to a single penny in $10,000,000 • pCi/1: picocuries per liter is a measure of the radioactivity in water • Action Level- the concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow •MCL: Maximum Contaminant Level- the maximum contaminant allowed - is the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drink­ ing water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology. • MCLG: Maximum Contaminant Level Goal- the goal is the level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there are no known or expected risks to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety. fl ■r' This report includes all required MDEQ testing which have either MCLs or detects.

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 substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. 2011 Sodium N/A Jan-Dec ppm No 0-36.4 ppm 2011 Date AL MCLG Our water # of sites above AL Lead 9/2009 15 ppb •J 0 6 ppb I Copper 9/2009 !300ppb 1300ppb 180 ppb 0 Radiological Date Test Result Violation MCLG MCL Gross Alpha 10/2001 <1.4 No 0 15 pCin Radium 226 10/2001 0.1 No o 5 pCi/1 Radium 228 10/2001 1.4 No 0 5 pCi/1 Uranium 10/2001 0.6 No 0 30 pCi/1 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 live­ stock operations, and wildlife. • Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be natu­ rally-occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or * $ K* ■ w ft f ✓ ' 4 > | I £ vr\ft V- «r II i 1 farming. • Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm water runoff, and residential uses. • Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are byproducts of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff, and septic systems. • Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. In order to insure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regula­ tions which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provid­ ed by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water, which must provide the same protection for public health. JI 7J 'J •I Sodium: Sodium has no MCL or MCLG. Sodium contamination in drinking water typically comes from the erosion of natural deposits. Nitrates: Nitrates in drinking water at levels above 10 ppm is a health risk for infants of less than six months of age. High nitrate levels in drinking water can cause blue baby syndrome. Nitrate levels may rise quickly for short periods due to rainfall or agricultural activity. If you are caring for an infant, you should ask for advice from your health care provider.

We will keep you informed of any problems that may occur throughout the 2010 Chlorine or Chloramines .34 .35 .31 12 monthly averages. Figures in this table represent the amount of total chlorine detected in our drinking water measured in parts per million (ppm). Lead: If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health prob­ lems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drink­ ing water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. The Village of Middleville is responsi­ ble for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in drinking water, there are testing methods and steps you can take to min­ imize exposure which are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 800-426-4791 or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead. The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality has completed a source water assessment for community water supplies. This study eval­ uates community water source wells for susceptibility to contamination. The evaluations are based on several categories which are, Well log and location, Geologic Sensitivity, Well construction, Water chemistry and Isotope data, and Isolation from sources of contamination. Scores of these categories are added for an overall well score. All well scores are totaled to arrive at a water system score, which is translated into a sus­ ceptibility determination. Middleville’s susceptibility is rated as moderate. Results of the entire assessment report may be viewed at the Village Department of Public Works during the hours of 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, Monday through Friday. -5 o* Chlorine residuals: Chlorine is added to our drinking water as a dis­ infectant. Maximum residual disinfectant level (MRDL) of four ppm has been established by safe drinking water rules. This is the highest level allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants. Maximum residual detection level goal (MRDLG) is the established level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. That level has been established at two ppm. Water Testing Data 2011 Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. An 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 elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other micro­ bial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791). Additional Monitoring Information .30 Customer questions or comments on drinking water issues are welcome and may be addressed at regularly scheduled Village Council meetings. Meetings are scheduled every second and fourth Tuesday of each month throughout the year. Meetings start promptly at 7:00 PM in the council chambers of the Village Hall located at 100 E. Main Street, Middleville, MI 49333. This report will not be mailed directly to customers. A copy may be obtained at the Village offices between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM Monday through Friday.

Call 269-945-9554 for Sun & News classified ads Become A Member NAME ADDRESS CITY STATE ZIP The National 24-Hour challenge returns to Middleville June 15 to 17 where it will celebrate its 30th anniversary. Founders Diane and Skip Obermeyer will be at the TK Middle School June 15 to help celebrate the 30 years of the challenge that has brought riders from 48 states and many different countries to compete. Pete Steve, event organiz­ er since 2009, says in a press release that the 24-Hour Challenge is an event like few others. “The N24HC has become the largest event of its kind in the world,” states the release. “Each year, riders from more than 20 states participate. Since its inception, cyclists have have entered entered from from 48 48 of of the the 50 50 states states as as well wel1 as as Australia, Austraiia’ Canada, Denmark, England, Ireland. France, Ireland, New Zealand, Poland, Sweden, Mexico and Switzerland.” Middleville’s population swells when the N24HC comes to town. Bicyclists and their crews set up camping spots at the middle school. Sponsors donate prizes. Bike shops bring products and mechanics to help with last-minute repairs. Photos from previous events are on display and the walls are papered with lists of reg­ istered riders. This year, TK high school art students ereated T-shirt designs for the 30th anniversary. The event begins Friday June 15 with the Middleville Rotary spaghetti dinner. The dinner is served from 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday, June 16, the Middleville United Methodist church sponsors a pancake breakfast from 6 to 8:30 a.m. Both of these meals are open to the public and the riders. The 24-Hour Challenge starts at 8 a.m. June 16. A pace Dace vehicle from Kool Chevrolet and a bagpipe __ _ band gets riders off to the start. Area residents are to line encouraged to line Middleville's Main Street about 8:15 a.m. to listen to the Kalamazoo pipe band and cheer on the riders as they make their first lap through the center of town. Riders continue on a loop of 121 rolling and hilly miles, a scenic route through Barry County which has three outlying checkpoints. The checkpoints, including the Delton Library, are open to riders and crews. After completing the 121- mile loop, the riders continue with a 24-mile loop that goes through the Yankee Springs Recreation area. From evening to 8 a.m. Sunday, riders follow a 7.5mile loop beginning and ending at the middle school. When the ride is completed at 8 a.m. Sunday, all riders and crews are provided breakfast by McDonald’s of Caledonia. The first year of the National 24-Hour Challenge was in 1983 with 18 riders at Wabasis Lake Park. The Obermeyers started and organized the event for 25 years, growing it from 18 riders to more than 400 riders. In 2007, the Obermyers retired, giving the event over to Lew Persenaire. In 2009, Pete and Kathy Steve took me event over the after Persenaire's death. Beginning cyclists think 10 miles is just about right for some nice recreational exercise.” said Pete Steve, ‘it's good outdoor fun. But. like any activity, the more you do it, the better you become. Ten miles soon builds into 20. 40 and up. “For bicycling enthusiasts all over the country, 100 miles is a nice Saturday or Sunday “century” ride. Once bicyclists are able to do a century, some might try a double century. Then it follows to see how many miles you can ride in a complete 24-hour day.” Riders who compete in the 24-Hour Challenge may go on to compete in the Race Across America — an ultimate marathon event. Awards are presented at the end of the event Sunday morning with high mileage male and female riders receiving silver bowls. Enameled mileage pins, in 50-mile increments, reward riders who complete 200 or more miles. Riders who return for several years and accumulate 1,000 miles in the event, earn a 1,000-mile jersey. As of 2011, 714 riders have completed more than 1,000 miles. James Hlavka of Racine, Wis., has ridden the event 25 times and accumulated more than 10,000 miles.

Thornapple Kellogg’s var­ sity softball team fell 4-2 to South Christian in the Division 2 Pre-District con­ test at the South Christian Sports Park Tuesday.

When our backs were against the wall, South tried scoring each inning going into the fifth but we kept coming up with the play or Liz struck batters out. South finally put a couple of hits together to score in fifth.” The senior, Polmanteer, struck out four in her final start for the Trojans, but took the loss. Chloe Graham and Erin DeVries had two hits each, all singles. “We hit the ball hard, but right at somebody.

This was only the ninth win for the Panthers. They took a premature victory lap at the Olivet Relays early in the season, before learning that their 1600-meter relay team had been disqualified from its race. “After Olivet, we started waiting until we knew the final score,” said Delton Kellogg senior Billy Schut. “Nine,” said fellow Delton senior Tyler Dempsey. “That’s a good number.” There was no disqualifica­ tion in the 1600-meter relay Tuesday. The Delton four­ some of Dempsey, Phoenix Pease, Brandon Robbins and Conner Wolschleger won the race in 3 minutes 36.51 sec­ onds. Dad or Grad Hastings took the girls' title, by 26 points over run­ ner-up Thomapple Kellogg. That 1600-meter relay vic­ tory was was the the last last of ofsix six wins wins tory for the Delton boys. They won three of the four relays, with the team of Nick Brindley, Pease, Wolschleger and Adam May taking the 800-meter relay in 1:34.21 and the team of Brindley, Mike Bassett, Robbins and May winning the 400-meter relay in 45.85. It was no surprise the Panthers won the 1600-meter relay, not after having the top two runners in the 400meter dash. Pease won that race in 53.97 seconds, with Dempsey second in 54.41. Delton also had Robbins win the 300-meter intermedi­ ate hurdles in 42.41 and Wolschleger take the long jump at 19-1.

Sometimes she’s hard on herself, but it just makes her harder and a better ball play­ er.” Polmanteer will pitch at Siena Heights, which is her favorite position, but she said that the Siena Heights coaches have told her that they really like her versatili­ ty. Her favorite other posi­ tions are in the middle infield, shortstop and second base. There were three things she really liked about Siena Heights, the chance to play softball, the chance to study to become a special educa­ tion teacher, and the chance to continue her faith in God. Playing softball is kind of a plus for Bailey. “I’ve been looking at Comerstone since last year,” Bailey said. “It’s the only place that I applied to because I visited there and I knew right away that’s where I wanted to go, and they have the program I want to go into - their media pro­ gram. I’m really excited about it. I’ve always loved softball. I’m excited to be a part of the team.” She plans on going into film. “I like being behind the camera,” Bailey said. “I’ve done a lot of stuff with my church and with our class we have here, and I’ve won a few competitions with it.” Bailey pitched for the Trojan softball team and was an outstanding outfielder. t * I 1 I i “She has always been a pitcher for us, from freshman year on up, and she’s done really well in the outfield,’’ Saldivar said. “She’s got a great arm. Just knows how to be in the action at the right time.” “She has really, really advanced this year defen­ sively and also hitting the ball. She’s thrown quite a few runners out from the out­ field, at bases and at home plate. That's a big plus, especially for college. They’re looking for a nice strong arm and she’s got one.” He added that the way Bailey and Polmanteer care for their teammates and the way they work hard are big parts of why they’ve earned the opportunity to continue their softball careers. * jgdl flit it E eg! , Ml •J Sv* Alto, Ml 1® t Sui U G "58111 Mon. - Fri.

Supervisor Bryan Harrison, who made the rec­ ommendation, pointed out that Jackson also participates in mentoring programs at Caledonia High School. As a Hometown Hero, Jackson, will be the grand marshal of the June 30 parade marking the celebration of Independence Day and will be joined by her husband, Robert Jackson, DVM, who practices veteri­ nary medicine in Caledonia. In other formal board action, the trustees approved a rezoning of approximately acres bounded by 60 Patterson Avenue on the west and 68th Street on the north from highway commercial to light industrial.

Asked how got into local government, McCrumb said that when he was on the Zoning Board of Appeals, he found it to be very interest­ ing. The supervisor at the time, George London was retiring and he approached McCrumb about running. "He talked me into it," said McCrumb. It is the only elective office he has ever held. Of the highlights from his experience as supervisor, McCrumb said the largest projects during his time in office were the building of the water tower to serve the Act 307 water system that was required when wells were contaminated by the illegal Misak landfill, the addition of an arsenic filtra­ tion system to comply with new federal rules regarding the amount of arsenic allowed in public water sys­ tems, and the development of Springs the Yankee Township Park. "Parks are expensive and they're never completely developed," McCrumb pointed out, referring to the Yankee Springs Township Park as his favorite project. "The land was donated to us with the requirement that a park be built within five years or the land would revert to the donor,” recalled McCrumb. “When I took office, we were in year three of the five." One project McCrumb will not see finished is the proposed renovations to the However, he town hall. expects the installation of an American with Disabilities Act-compliant bathroom in the township hall and the expansion of its parking lot - as well as the lot at the Payne Lake Road fire station — to be finished in time to relieve a potentially danger­ ous parking situation during the November presidential election. 9 < In This Issue...

A'Xft' * �Saiuq^y, June 9, 2012 Page TKsets staggered elementary start and end times by Julie Makarewicz staff writer Starting and ending times for elementary students at Thomapple Kellogg schools will change next fall, stag­ gering the times between the three schools. Currently, McFall, Lee and Page elementary schools all start classes at 8:55 a.m. and end at 3:40 p.m. The change creates a staggered start and end schedule and eliminates the bus transfer situation for students. , In a letter to parents, Superintendent Assistant Tom Enslen said there are several reasons for the change but said ultimately the most important is that the new schedule allows the district to honor instructional time for all students. Enslen said the changes have been considered for more than a year, and while he realizes some issues may be to resolves initially, he feels the new schedule will better serve the needs of all students. Under the new schedule, buses will arrive at McFall (kindergarten and first grade building) at 8:30 a.m. with classes starting at 8:40 a.m. School ends at 3:25 p.m. At Lee, (second and third grade) buses will arrive at 8:40 a.m., with school starting at 8:50 a.m. School ends at 3:35 p.m. At Page (fourth and fifth grade), buses arrive at 8:50 a.m. with school starting at at 9:05 9:05 a.m. a.m. and and endend­ starting ing at at 3:50 3:50 p.m. p.m. ing Enslen said the goal is to allow schools to start the day immediately with with instrucinstruc­ immediately tion. in In the the past, past, he he said said the the lion, bus drop-off times were too close to the actual start of the day. With a number of students eating breakfast at school, he said students were often 15 minutes or more late getting to class. “Sometimes it was 9:15 or later before kids got done eating breakfast. It’s hard to get class started on time,” said Enslen. The change also elimi­ nates the need for students to transfer to different buses to get to their schools. Enslen said that has been an anxiety issue for many younger stu­ dents and takes time. Another benefit, Enslen said, will be in the traffic sit­ uation around the schools. Parents with children in more than one building will have time to get from one school to the next for dropoffs or pickups without being late or picking up children early to avoid traffic, Enslen said it has taken a lot of planning, discussion and even some trial runs to make sure the new system will work. Letters were sent home with students this week and more announcements will be made before the start of the 2012-13 school year. He said so far, feedback from parents has been mostly positive. We'll “We *11 monitor this very carefully next fall and make adjustments if needed," he said. The high school and mid­ die school schedules are not affected by this change. Townships cannot ban fracking * La ’■ A headline in the May 26 Sun and News read, “Yankee Springs and Orangeville townships ban fracking” and the first paragraph of the arti­ cle also gives the distinct impression that these two townships have banned fracking. This is an overstatement, said Dr. Kenneth Komheiser, of Prairieville Township. Townships in Michigan do not have the authority to ban fracking, he pointed out in a letter to the Banner. The township boards approved motions urging the county and state legislatures and the governor of Michigan to take action. “I am concerned that folks in those two townships will believe that the job is done and the township boards have effectively eliminated potential problems with fracking within those town­ ships,” Township resolutions do carry some weight as statements of local intent, but citizens who have concems must continue to ask their legislators and the gov­ ernor to investigate, listen to the concerns of their constituents and properly act to protect Michigan property rights, citizen health and environmental well being." At least five bills seeking to create more transparency, protections and regulatory oversight on fracking were introduced into the Michigan House of Representatives in the fall of 2011. They are House Bills 4736, 5149, 5150, 5151 and 5565. A recent check on the official Michigan House of Representatives website, www.legislature.mi.gov, showed essentially no action since introduction. “If you have concerns, don't assume that the township governments can ban fracking. Contact your state legislators," he said. rr™ 5 Y-'"' ■ *5 POLICE BEAT r $ A Cell phone stolen at Gun Lake church / I y ¥ I<1L kA A r f-j b I51 BSC! > I fb f / if & - 4 J « Gun Lake Medical Center 12851 West M-179 Highway CqOKIES!

Rider and his wife, Sandy, greeted friends and staff at a community open house Wednesday as Rider pre­ pares to retire June 30. Fittingly, Rider remem­ bered going out to purchase a black and orange tie the day of his interview at TK and he wore it again as he thanked community and staff for support. His assistant superintend­ ent Tom Enslen has been named to fill the job July 1. Rider came to TK schools in 2007 after Kevin Konarksa left at the end of 2006 to take the top job at the Kent Intermediate School District. “I knew I was coming in having big shoes to fill," recounted Rider. “In other jobs I've taken, I was hired 1 to go in and fix things. Things weren't broken here. My job was to keep the dis­ trict moving forward and I knew I was coming into a great situation. 1 didn’t want to screw it up." One of Rider’s first tasks was to complete the bond campaign that was approved by voters later that spring and led to the renovations at the elementary schools and the major renovations and additions to the high school. Today, Rider can look out his office window and see the completed auditorium and knows the opportunities it has brought for students. “I'm just so impressed with the committee that worked on this whole project and the way it all turned out," he said. “It opens up so much more for our students. Our kids have the same opportunities here as anywhere else. We want to be compared to Forest Hills and East Grand Rapids. We want to set our standards high and I feel very fortunate we've been able to do that." Rider said student aca­ demic achievements and character development are other aspects where he’s seen continued gains and expects even more in the future. “We have systems in place, teachers working collaboratively and a strong based curriculum that will keep this this district district moving moving in in keep the right direction." Along with crediting community support. Rider 1 ives much credit to the TK < staff at all levels. “I'm so grateful to the board and the community and the staff that has all been so incredible," said Rider. “The staff here - everyone is absolutely top notch. It truly has been a team effort." Rider got emotional when he began talking about the staff. “I can't begin to say enough about this administrative team in place. They are incredible people with incredible talents and dedica­ tion to this district. They are the best team I've been around. It gives me a lot of confidence that they are going to be here and contin­ ue doing a great job for this district." Rider said there are many things he wishes he could have done for the district, but most of them simply weren't feasible with reduced fund­ ing year after year. “We were in a program containment mode rather than a program building mode," he said, ‘it's unfortunate because there are so many programs for students I would love to see here." Rider said this is the right time personally for his them and Sandy,” he said. retirement but he vows he Rider came to TK in 2006 will remain active in educa­ from Brandywine tion and is currently serving Community Schools where as the President of the he also served as superinfor tendent.

Boulter estimated that the department spent 16-plus hours at the scene in attempts to recover the body. The amount of interdepartmental cooperation was enormous, he said, with Thornapple Township Emergency Services, the marine divisions of Barry and Allegan counties sheriff departments and the Michigan State Police involved. Pontoon boats were released to the department by a local business, a move that greatly enhanced search operations, he added. Boulter said it was one of the largest operations ever mounted by his depart­ ment. He credited local busi­ nesses with providing cold beverages and food to the rescuers, saying, “I can’t say enough about the support we received from local business­ es. Whatever we needed was offered. I am grateful to them for their support.” An estimated appropria­ tion of $2,250, requested by Boulter to cover the event’s additional labor costs, was quickly approved by the board. Treasurer Vicki Ritchie explained that the money would be taken from the township’s contingency fund. Responding to a ques­ tion from Trustee Robert Perino, who wondered why the department did not have a line-item contingency fund in its budget, Ritchie said the township’s general fund had a contingency fund that was available to cover those items. Of the 24 calls his depart­ ment responded to in the month of May, Boulter reported that 17 of them occurred between May 20 and 29. Moving on to other reports County Commissioner Craig Stolsonburg said the county board had received the Orangeville Township resolution opposing fracking and had been advised by its attorney that there was nothing the county could do. The county audit revealed a sum of $500,000 that had been budgeted but not spent; the the funds funds would would be be carried carried over into the 2012 budget, he reported. The county also received a $250,000 refund from its insurance carrier; the refund was the result of a long peri­ od of no claims being made under the county’s policy. According to Stolsonburg, the money is most likely to be used to improve security in the courthouse. The airport, funded jointly by the county and the city of Hastings, has started to build a second hangar which will be rented out; the construc­ tion is part of the plan to have the airport become financially self-supporting Mark Paradowski, chair of the township’s parks and recreation committee, reported that new games had been secured for Orangeville Days.

In fact, very few peo­ ple actually travel those two routes. But in working toward your investment goals, you need to be persistent — and one of the best ways to demon­ strate that persistence is to invest automatically. How do you become an “automatic" investor? You simply need to have your bank automatically move money each month from a checking or savings account into the investments of your choice. When you're first starting out in the working world, you may not be able to afford much, but any amount — even if it’s just $50 or $100 a month — will be valuable. Then, as your career progresses and your income ­ incomerises, rises'you y°ucan cangradual gradualyour ’ly* increase y° ur monthly monthl* con’­ tributions. —By becoming an automatic investor, you can gain some key benefits, including these: • Discipline — Many people think about investing but decide to wait until they have “a little extra cash.” Before they realize it, they've used the money for other purposes. When you invest automatical­ ly, you're essentially taking a spending decision “out of your hands.” And as you'see your accounts grow over time, your investment discipline will be self-reinforcing. • Long-term focus — There's never any shortage of events — political crises, eco­ nomic downturns, natural dis­ asters — that cause investors kt to take a “timeout” from investing. Yet if you head to the investment sidelines, even for a short while, you might miss out on some good oppor­ tunities. By investing automat­ ically each month, you'll maintain a long-term focus. • Potential for reduced hold members. Coupons can be used at any participating farmers market through Oct. 31.

When prices drop, your monthly investment will buy more shares, and when prices rise, you'll buy fewer shares — just as you'd probably buy less of anything when prices are high. Over time, this type of systematic investment typically results in lower costs per share. Furthermore, when you invest systematically, you're less likely to constantly buy and sell investments in an effort to boost your returns. This type of frequent trading is often ineffective — and it can raise your overall investment costs with potential fees, com­ missions and taxes. (Keep in mind, though, that systematic investing does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss, Als0‘ y°u'" need the financial resources available to keep investing through up and down markets.) Clearly, automatic investing offers some major advantages to you as you seek to build wealth. Of course, if you're contributing to a 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan, you're already automatically investing because money is taken out of your paycheck at regular intervals to go toward the invest­ ments you've chosen in your plan. But by employing auto­ matic investing techniques to other vehicles, such as an Individual Retirement Account (IRA), you can continue your progress toward your long-term goals, including retirement, So. do what it takes to become an automatic investor. It’s easy, it’s smart — and it can help you work toward the type of future you've envi­ sioned.

She was invited by Women’s Club member Kathy Teunis, also a member of the center’s board, who wanted to spread the word about dispute resolution and the center’s availability and mission. Fifer began her presenta­ tion by noting the difference between arbitration, where the arbitrator hears both sides of a dispute and makes a decision, and mediation, where a mediator guides dis­ cussion and helps disputing parties come to their own compromise. She challenged women’s club members to pair off and discuss a conflict they had experienced and determine how they would resolve it. After the discussion, Anne mentioned common conflicts Dispute Resolution the Center works with, includin workplace conflicts, neigh­ bor disputes, business/customer issues, and divorce. Mediation strives to not only resolve disputes but also maintain healthy relationships between parties. The center also offers train­ ing in dispute resolution to individuals and organiza­ tions. The Dispute Resolution Center serves Kent County, but Anne noted that Barry County is also served by Gryphon Place Dispute Resolution Services.

You did not wear your uniform You came home put your military Iife you and moved forward, as we did as a nation. I recently learned that over 120,000 soldiers died during the “Cold War" period from 1948 to 1990. These were in crises or societal disagree­ ments such as Korea, Vietnam, North Africa and Beirut. As a nation, we have improved, we do not take the political ambiguity of an “operation" on our soldiers, The young men and women of today who battle behind enemy lines constantly seek the enemy as they live among the enemy. Every day, they are making life-and-death decisions decisions about about local local civilcivilians “innocently” making cell phone calls or reaching" into a bag for something, not knowing if it is the detonation device for an IED. Our nation has given them some of the best technology in the world, but it’s use or place­ ment requires soldiers “feet of the rocks.” Today, we welcome them home with parades and warm greetings. But by the time the blue frosting is off their lips from the red, white and blue cake, they realize the econo­ my has not improved, and the chances for employment are worse than when they left. Gov. Rick Snyder announced on Mackinac Island the unemployment rate for veterans is near 30 percent, clearly unacceptable. Americans scramble to see “hero" movies, but the heroes are walking among us every day. They put aside three to 10 years oftheir lives in order for us tonot have to worry about going to the mall, a large concert, the courthouse or other govern­ ment buildings. We need to reach out, thank these young men and women no more or less than the “Greatest Generation'’ or the Cold War veterans.

" No Family Left Indoors starts Tuesday at Y Camp The No Family Left Indoors program is back for the summer. The program is a series of fun and healthy events where families can enjoy the out-of-doors and the many resources that make Barry County unique. Nine different events are planned and all are free. Topics range from bird iden­ tification by sight and sound, to hunting down creepycrawly insects. The free events are Tuesdays from 6:30 to 8 p.m., beginning June 12 and ending Aug. 14. The first program will be at the YMCA of Barry County Camp Algonquin. Participants will join in a variety of activities, such as climbing the camp’s rock wall and going for a boat ride on Algonquin Lake. The June 19 program will focus on nesting season at Otis Sanctuary. Mid-June is an excellent time for viewing and listening to nesting birds. Participants can join a sea­ soned birder at Otis Sanctuary who will help them recognize birds by their songs, appearance, and habi­ tats on a 1.5-mile hike.

Chamberlin said the girls had to first make a drawing of what the mural would like look, then get it approved by the school administration. He said middle school administrators were looking for ways to promote school spirit and pride in the gymnasium and thought the artwork was a perfect fit.

We continue to reach out into the community, forging partnerships with local organizations to build a stronger, healthier commuf Sheryl Lewis Blake Chief Executive Officer Pennock Health Services The landscape of health care and the health of our community are ever changing. We continue to address these changes while anticipating and planning for your health and our new future together under health reform. As a community-based hospital, our size and flexibility al­ low us to adapt and innovate quickly so that we remain the healthcare provider of choice in Barry County by bringing services closer to you. Our focus over the past year has been one of improving quality, facilities, access to care and community health by being innovative. Nationally, hospitals are the second largest source of private-sector jobs, with each hospital job supporting 2.8 additional jobs annually, and every dollar spent by hospitals creates an additional $2.30 of business activity. According to the American Hospital Association, hospitals support one in nine U.S. jobs and more than $2.2 trillion in economic activity. This is no different in Barry County. Pennock employs nearly 600 people, is the second largest employer in Barry County and the largest employer in Hastings. In 2011, Pennock paid $22.6 million in wages and compensation, $ 1.6 million in payroll taxes and over $3.2 million in federal, state, and local taxes. When comparing the $2.3 of economic activity generated for every dollar the hospital spends, this ripple effect equated to $129.8 million of local economic activity - another reason keeping your care local is important. Although the hospital impacts hundreds of jobs and generates millions of dollars in economic activity, many people do not realize that Pennock is still a non-profit hospital and we belong to the community. As you engage in this report, I hope you will be filled with the same sense of pride in your hospital that your Board of Trustees, hospital leadership, physicians, colleagues, and volunteers feel, as the lists of accomplishments achieved over the last year . were substantial, especially for a hospital of our size. Your partnership is important to our future. We are your hometown healthcare provider, right here to serve all of youi i healthcare needs and also as a neighbor and partner in the community we share. We are committed to your good health! I COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND CHARITY CARE. Last year, Pennock provided $2,689,088 in total charity benefit value. These funds come in many forms. Community participation, outreach, educa­ r tion, cash, and in-kind donations, and patients who simply could not affor the care they needed and were provided. Community building activities can range from the development of community leaders, disaster readines I support of local economic development, as well as health improvement advocacy*. Pennock is a non-profit health system charged with providing exceptional quality health care in a personal, professional, and progressivi manner in partnership with our community. According to the Affordable C i Act, hospitals are required to demonstrate community benefit to maintain’" for profit 501(c)(3) status. Community benefit reporting is one way we den^ our commitment to our community. X 2011 COMMUNITY BLOOD DRIVE. 4' 554 donors registered (attempted to give), with 392 pints of ♦ it blood donated.

W Pennock Hospital BOARD OF TRUSTEES. The financial viability of Pennock depends on partnerships - part­ nerships with our patients, our colleagues, our physicians and our business community; all helping to identify our priorities for pa­ tient care. Each year, decisions on how to allocate our resources are made and supported by our Board's commitment to invest in only those services that our community needs most. Dur­ ing 2011, Pennock achieved an operating margin of 3% .when many hospitals in Michigan had no margin at all. This return on our investment will again be allocated among priorities identi­ fied through on-going collaboration.

They learned Knight was hoping to add Kindles to the library and decided they could write grants seeking funds to help the school. “I’m really happy,” said Flikkema. “Even if we don’t get to use them, it’s for a good cause and other kids will get a chance to use them. Maybe we will inspire other kids to do something like this.” by Julie Makarewicz Staff Writer Blaine Rison, Kale Haywood, Jake Flikkema and Chase Shanafelt gave up recess and took on extra writing and research assign­ ments just so their school library could have a few Kindle Touch readers. The fifth graders at Page Elementary School worked on a grant application for weeks, then waited for what, they said, seemed like forev­ er. Just when librarian Diane Knight was about to give up, the boys were notified of a $400 grant award used to purchase four Kindle Touch systems. The grant was awarded by the Youth Advisory Council of the Barry Community Foundation. The boys will move on to the middle school next year, but said they’re happy to be leaving something for future Page students. “We learned kids can do anything if they set their minds to it,” said Rison. Shanafelt said it took a lot of time and hard work but, in the end, it paid off. “We were dancing around and yelling when we heard we got the grant,” Shanafelt said. “If kids want to step up to the plate and do a ‘man’s job,’ so to speak, we can do it. You just have to work hard and never give up,” said Flikkema. Knight said she’s thrilled with the donation. “It’s a new way of being able to read booksc’ Said Knight. “I’m hoping it might attract some of the reluctant readers and get them inter­ ested in reading with this new technology.

The boys said the idea came after the parents of class members pooled money for a Kindle reader as a Christmas present for their teacher. “She said it was the best present said ever,” CALEDON|A Karaoke Contest Semi-Finals June 9 caledoniacabie.org Family Tavern June 25 Cooking with Angus Imo's Ihips CHANNEL AJME/orLd We've got you covered: OMaria Business Expo (48 Minutes) Accepting Applications for Station Manager Village & Township Monthly Meetings 9809 Cherry valley (M-37) Caledonia Ml 49316 Snail mail: PO Box 288 Caledonia Ml 49316 8am . 9:45am 11am 5-9pm Dusk Phone:616.891.9330 Email: caledoniacable@gmail.com us.

Students enjoyed the tradi­ tional field day events this week, marking the end of the school year and the start of summer fun. Although the school’s first scheduled field day was rained out, students couldn't have asked for nicer weather Monday to be outside, let loose their energy, and have fun with classmates. Classes rotated between several different stations aimed at challenging their skills and letting them have fun.

A report that the Hastings airport is ahead of its fiveyear schedule toward self­ sufficiency, a surplus distri­ bution from its insurance risk fund that will allow work to begin on a court security plan, and a proposed self­ funded expansion of the Commission on Aging build­ ing were good news items that headlined a busy agen­ da. The airport’s good news came as part of a request for the county to approve a $206,550 transfer from the facility’s fund balance to help construct a six-unit box hangar at the facility, which is co-owned by both Barry County and the City of Hastings. A local donor has offered to contribute $80,000 to the project, bringing the airport commission’s cost to $126,550. “At the end of the year, even with the cost of the new building, we’ll still have $70,000 in fund balance based on the revenue coming • 99 in, airport administrator Mark Noteboom told com­ missioners. “This building will bring in $15,000 per year [in rental fees] when it’s all full.” Noteboom indicated that one more building is still on the drawing board, but, with completion of the current hangar being proposed, will likely be paid for with exist­ ing revenue. “We’re ahead of our fiveyear schedule,” commented Commissioner Robert Houtman, “and, by the end of this year, we’re basically there.” Commissioner Ben Geiger added his support. “The airport’s problem is generating revenue, and you can’t be on the road to self­ sufficiency if you don’t have a place to put planes,” said building Geiger, “This amount is less than what we had originally planned.” The committee of the whole voted 8-0 to move the recommendation for final approval to Tuesday’s official board of commissioners meeting. Commissioners were also pleased to learn that the Michigan Municipal Risk Management Authority, its self-insurance pool for liabilliabil­ ity and property coverage, had refunded $252,657 to the county in excess funds. “Better-than-expected loss trends, good management Thornapple Kellogg Schools in Middleville is accepting sealed bids for High School Roof Replacement Bid documents will be available at the mandatory pre-bid meeting on June 14, 2012 at 10:00 a.m. at TK High School, 3885 Bender Road, Middleville.

Commissioner Though Don Nevins pushed for retaining a portion of the payment in the insurance fund, other commissioners resisted, pointing out the commitment it made months ago to realign county offices leading, ultimately, to SJ reater court security. “We have to ask, ‘What’s our highest priority,”’ pointed out Commissioner Jeff VanNortwick, who advocat­ ed for allocating the payment to the court security plan. “This is an opportunity to take advantage, and it will show strong security to our insurer.” “I agree, Jeff,” responded Nevins, “but if it’s our highest priority, this should have been worked on months ago.” When he subsequently joined the 8-0 vote to recommend the action to place the money in the court security plan after hearing out VanNortwick, Nevins play­ fully added a personal obser­ vation. “There I go,” smiled Nevins, “I ate my words again.” Nevins also set up Tammy Pennington, executive direc­ tor of the Commission on Aging, with the day’s sharpest quip when Pennington appeared before the board to present a draft of a proposed expansion of the COA facility on Woodlawn Avenue in Hastings. Key to the expansion would be a 300-person meet­ ing space that, with expand- J * h- Ft * I able walls, could also accommodate smaller group meetings. Reallocated space would also make possible a larger dining area, an expanded space to accommodate growing requests for adult day care, and a recre­ ation area primarily for the growing number of men who use the facility and who enjoy pool, Of special interest to commissioners was Pennington’s comment that, though costs have not yet been calculated, they would be covered by existing fund balance and a possible capital campaign. After Commission Chair Craig Stolsonburg playfully asked who was responsible for adding a pool table to the plan, Nevins stepped up with his observation that he may, one day soon, be using it. “In two years, I’ll be 62 and I’ll be able to use the COA,” Nevins told Pennington, to which Pennington had a quick response. “Well, Don, at 62 years in two years, that means you can come today.” In other business, the commission: • Designated June 15 as Elder Abuse Awareness Day in Barry County. • Recommended for official board approval at next week’s meeting to contribute $1,414 for dues needed to participate in the West Michigan Regional Planning Commission and a regional Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy. • Recommended approval of $28,495 from the Home Funds account in the County Home Buyer Rehabilitation Purchase program to award Anderson Builders a contract for home rehabilitation work at 628 W.

Rockford and Mona Shores are set to meet in the first. “We hit the ball really well and drove in runs with runners in scoring position,” Caledonia head coach Tom Kaechele said after the dis­ trict tournament. “If we can hit and play good defense good versus a very Hudsonville team, I think we can give them a game. “We lost 6 to 0 earlier in the year. We hit the ball hard, but right at them. We have to hit the gaps and make them make plays on us to win.” Whitney Denton and Alexandra Tegg were both 2for-4 with a single and a dou­ ble in the win over Forest Hills Central.

Rick Snyder has requested federal disaster assistance from U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack for farmers in Michigan counties who are facing substantial crop losses due to extreme weather conditions. Among the 72 counties on the list are Barry, Allegan, Eaton, Ionia, Kent and Kalamazoo. Fruit crop losses were par­ ticularly impacted by high temperatures in March fol­ lowed by freezing tempera­ tures in April. Other weather conditions, including exces­ sive snow, blizzards, high winds, hail, tornadoes, flood­ ing, excessive rain and light­ ning that occurred between Jan. 1 and May 11 also have impacted farms and are part of the disaster declaration request. “Our farming community members are looking at large crop losses — currently estimated at $223.5 million. Michigan’s food and agriculture producers have a sub­ stantial impact on the econo­ my, and it is important those farmers have access to addi­ tional resources, such as lowinterest loans,” said Snyder. “We will be working closely with our state and federal partners to provide assistance to Michigan’s farmers, food processors and fresh market producers to help keep their businesses moving forward during this difficult time.” Seventy-two counties in both the Upper and Lower peninsulas have experienced severe weather devastating to the state’s fruit and asparagus crop production, MDARD is working with the USDA-Farm Service Agency to monitor the dam­ age and its impact to growers and the fresh and processing food industries. FSA is expecting to compile and complete crop damage estimates by July 1. Original crop loss esti­ mates must be verified from harvest yield data, and if losses of 30 percent or more are confirmed, the disaster request will be granted. The disaster request will give eligible state producers access to USDA-FSA’s low-interest emergency loan program for up to 100 percent of their weather-related agriculture production losses. For more information on the federal emergency farm loan programs, visit the website, USDA-FSA www.fsa.usda.gov.

Saturday the Well, Saturday Trojans were somewhere they’ve never been before standing on the diamond cel­ ebrating a district champi­ onship. Thornapple Kellogg clinched its first ever district title, knocking off Byron Center 8-7 in the Division 2 District Final at the South Christian Sports Park Saturday afternoon, earning a spot in the regional semifi­ nals against Fowlerville at DeWitt High School today (June 2). “It was tremendous,” said Hobert. “As soon as that last out was made, the gloves went up in the air. I went and picked up (freshman pitcher) Dalton Phillips. It was a rough day for him. He’d never been hit like that. That celebration went on into the night. The kids were all together talking about it, and the parents were beaming from ear to ear.” Phillips went the distance on the mound for the Trojans, striking out eight, He gave up ten hits including a couple doubles and a coupie triples, and walked just one though. All seven runs off of him were earned.

Nate Iveson walked, moved to second on a bunt by Cody Ybema, then scored from there on a single off the bat of Garrett Harris. Iveson challenged the Bulldog outfield, and the throw was far enough off­ line for him to touch the plate safely. “We were pretty aggres­ sive on the base paths in that game,” Hobert said. “We took the extra base when we could get it, which was tough because they’re catcher had a pretty good arm.” The Bulldog pitcher, Jon Hall, has a pretty good arm too. Hobert said he was expecting a pitchers’ duel. Then, the Bulldogs scored three runs in the top of the first inning. TK had an answer though, scoring four times in the top half. The big blow for TK was a three-run double off the outfield fence by senior Jordan Timm.

June 9, 2012 Area boys can’t get through Scots short of qualifying for to D2 State Finals at Ferris State Finals at DI Regional The 2012 varsity boys' golf season came to an end for all the representatives of the O-K Gold Conference that took part in Thursday's Division 2 Regional Tournament at Gull Lake View West Golf Course in Richland. Hastings’ Danny Buehler came the closest of any of them to reaching the Division 2 State Finals, which he qualified for as an individual a year ago. He was ninth individually with a 79. The top three teams and top three individuals not on those teams at each of the regionals around the state this week earned a spot in the Division 2 State Finals which will be held at Katke Golf Course at Ferris State University June 15-16. Thornapple Kellogg’s individual regional qualifier, Ben Jazwinski fired a 94 Thursday. The two boys from Wayland Alec Pawlowski and Evan Hallorman, shot an 87 SI and 89 respectively. The three individual state qualifiers from the regional were Niles’ John Schrader who shot a 74, Gull Lake’s Evan Krohn who shot a 77, and Edwardsburg’s Dominic Razzano who fired a 78. Haslett’s Chris Beltzer fired the day’s low round, a 73. DeWitt took the day’s team championship with a score of 312, followed by Haslett 315 and St. Johns 323. Edwardsburg was fourth with a 327, followed by East Lansing 330, Mattawan 333, Hastings 343, St. Joe 348, Otsego 349, Niles 354, Gull Lake 363 and Ionia 379. Peter VanSpreeken led DeWitt, tying Schrader for second individually. The Panthers also got a 76 from Tyler Polulak, a 78 from Owen Byer and a pair of 84s from Mitchell Overway and Courtland Nelson. St. Johns was the only other team with two golfers in the top ten. Tyler Mazzolini shot a 78 and Zach Peters a 79. Behind Buehler for Hastings, Taylor Klotz fired an 83, Dylan Thurman a 90 and Logan Barrett a 91. The trio of Caledonia youngsters that took part in Thursday's Division I1 Regional Tournament at Muskegon Country Club saw their season end there. Sophomores Matt Miller and Joey Baum and freshman Ryan Coe from the Fighting Scot varsity boys’ golf team were among the individual regional qualifiers competing. Miller led the trio of Scots with an 80. Baum shot an 81 and Coe an 84. The last of the three individual state qualifiers from the tournament was Portage Central's Jake Flight, who shot a 73. The other two individual state qualifiers were Jenison's Logan Schohachi and East Kentwood’s Brett White who each shot a 70. Forest Hills Central took the day's team championship with a score of 296. Mona Shores was second with a 303, followed by Battle Creek Lakeview 313. The top three teams and top three individuals not on those teams earned the chance to play in the Division 1 State Finals which will be held at The Meadows on the campus of Grand Valley State University June 15-16. Lakeview edged Rockford on the fifth-score tie-breaker to earn the final state qualifying spot. The Rams also finished the day with their top four golfers shooting a 313. Portage Central was fifth with a 315, followed by Grandville 321, Holt 323, Okemos 333, Reeths-Puffer 337, Kalamazoo Central 340 and East Kentwood 343.

M-43 Highway, Hastings, Ml 49058 Gun Lake Tribe responds to U.S. Supreme Court decision ioM I nuD iiwog bi/sG jozzim ?auoig orlT gniril iq B 01 jpjloq* (Iqfniz IB wio t odl 1b HI Bl noo ot ib liuz j Iliw crtoisM '(blolq Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected motions by the Gun Lake Tribe and U.S. government seeking to have David Patchak’s lawsuit dismissed on procedural grounds. The Court’s decision expressly declined to say anything about the merits of Patchak’s lawsuit, according to a press release from Tribe spokesman James Nye. It simply allows Patchak to go forward with his lawsuit back at the lower court, he said, adding that the Tribe is ready to continue fighting the lawsuit and is confident that it will ultimately prove that Patchak's claims are completely without merit. The Supreme Court clearly stated that this decision was not based on the merits, This is simply a procedural decision that has no impact on operations at Gun Lake Casino. The casino will continue to operate, employee over 800 area residents and provide millions of dollars to state and local governments," said D.K. Sprague, tribal chairman. The likely course of action is a remand by the U.S. Court of Appeals District of Columbia Circuit to U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia before Judge Richard Leon, said Nye. Judge Leon's decision in January of 2009 to grant a a procedural motion by the Tribe and U.S. would have ended Patchak's lawsuit, “This simply means that Patchak's lawsuit can go forward before the federal courts, which may take many more years to finally resolve it,” he added. “We are ready to continue that fight in federal court and we are confident the facts will clearly prove once and for all that have Patchak's claims absolutely no merit. “The Tribe would prefer to devote its resources to the economic development of the area; however, since Patchak's lawsuit dictates otherwise, the Tribe will do what is necessary to prevail.” Chad Curtis bound over to circuit court } 2BW inuoD bsfiD .rtuoo iuD irgiGoJ io ZBW [ho to inoooz limno biiriJ ubnoo wfl nuo3 qirioZ 38UB0 ivfl 11b dog unhzsll gsnsoi ertiiD W 3TU qinodt sriutni .bonisi by David DeDecker Sta# Writer Enough probable cause was presented by the Barry County Prosecutor’s Office Friday, June 22, to bind Chad Curtis over to circuit court. Curtis, a former Major League baseball player and I 1999 World Series standout, was charged on two charges 1 of criminal sexual conduct, । second degree; one count of criminal sexual conduct, third degree; and two charges of criminal sexual | conduct, fourth degree. Barry County District Court Judge Michael Schipper found enough cause to bind Curtis over on all five counts. Schipper closed witness testimony to the public. Two teenage girls testified that Curtis was an authority fig­ ure who performed sports therapy and massage for injuries the girls had sus­ tained. Earlier in the school year, Curtis was volunteering with athletes at Lakewood Schools and substitute teaching. He was contracted to take over as the head Vikings varsity football coach in the fall. When presenting his ruling, Schipper said one alleged victim told the court Curtis asked her to remove clothing, and during a mas­ sage for a hip flexor injury had lifted her sports bra massaging her breasts and then penetrated her digitally, Another witness said Curtis had massaged her upper thigh, groin area and buttocks when she had com­ plained of a knee injury, Schipper also said the room where the alleged acts occurred was locked and had no windows. He said Curtis was clearly an authority fig­ ure with “unfettered access” to the school who could come and go as he pleased, Bond remains at 10 per­ cent of $250,000 with condi­ tions including no contact with anyone under 17 with­ out adult supervision and no coaching of sports programs. Defense counsel asked the court if Curtis could continue to coach his 12-yearold son’s baseball team. Schipper denied the request, citing the team was an elite traveling team with games in Tennessee, Ohio and New York. Schipper said he could not in good con­ science allow Curtis to go unrestricted where kids are involved. “1 will always err on the side of protecting kids,” said Schipper. . Curtis has called Middleville home, and is a former Caledonia He teacher/coach. was allegedly fired from his athletic director position at NorthPointe Christian High School in Grand Rapids in 2009 with no public expla­ nation. He is no longer employed with Lakewood schools. Brick fix will close street i zi sqorl bird gni noiloaz anul ) fliemoT olohu fqsT ban ) by Julie Makarewicz Staff Writer What village officials hope is a final fix to the shift­ ing brick issues at Main and High streets will take place starting June 26. The intersection will close starting June 26 and will likely remain closed until July 2. Bricks will be removed and replaced with decorative stamped and colored con­ crete that will closely match the other two decorative brick intersections. Engineering firm Fleis and VandenBrink is paying for the fix and there is no cost to the village. Businesses along Main Street will be accessible, but there will be no through traf­ fic during the construction process. Traffic will be routed on Main Street to Railroad Street then to Dibble and Church Street and then back to Main Street, The decorative bricks at the other two intersections will remain. The village has not had as many problems a • • ••• with the bricks shifting in those areas. Friday music series continues The Friday night Riverbank Music Series at the Stagecoach Park in Middleville opened with a great crowd, good weather, and excellent entertainment. The music series continues every Friday night until Aug. 24.

About 15 people attended a Wednesday night showing of Heatley’s talk previously videotaped in Traverse City. The local event, held at the Thornapple Township Hall, was sponsored by Local Future. Aaron Wissner, founder and director of Local Future of Middleville said he hoped to be able to have Heatley on the phone for questions after the viewing. Heatley is a restoration ecologist from Pennsylvania who says he’s witnessed first hand the long-term effects of fracking and, even though oil and gas companies claim their processes are safe, he said he's not convinced. Hydraulic fracking is a method of injecting high pressure water and chemicals into the ground causing frac­ tures and releasing natural gases and oils for energy use. Supporters say finding more energy helps keep energy costs lower and pro­ vides valuable resources. Those in opposition say it’s a dangerous process that will have long-term environmen- n pd Z.* - 'Ya, I * sri hi fat s j, (I? •< tn 4 * it i U' j?3 * & U6 - -C- A lib si Iti •" I Is L - ?*1 7i’F TK announces 2012-13 calendar liW^i 107 • WMO insa fesl&ita * I. erui .feite- ; t- tails 5 • • JCl Ifll» I g—1 Bi . «• r X 1 <1 ** .- I* ■ 4T I f '* ! 9 Ji il* Thornapple Kellogg Schools will begin the 2012­ 13 school year Tuesday, Sept. 4 and has scheduled Thanksgiving break from Nov. 21 through Nov. 23.

Residents also viewed the latest video from Josh Fox, producer of “Gasland.” His newest video, released this week, is called “The Sky is Pink” and details more about the long-term environmental risks from the process of hydraulic fracking. “Energy attracts energy. If enough people put out the kind of energy we need to fight this, we can get to the people who have power. lease payments for use of their land, but opponents said it's important for prop­ erty owners to understand the legal issues of the lease and have it reviewed by an attorney before signing any­ thing. In some cases, the leases can be renewed for decades. Seelye said she thinks opponents are making some movements. “We are making the gas companies nervous I think, said Seelye. “They are get­ ting their defenses up and I think that means we're mak­ ing them nervous. We're starting to get the word out a lot.” Heatley's videotaped dis­ cussion looked at long-term environmental impacts left behind from drilling opera­ tions. In Pennsylvania, he said there is extensive dam­ age to natural forests and ecological systems. “It's distributed industrialization,” he said and called the changes “cascading con­ sequences.” He said any disruption of the environment has an effect on other areas. Changes in natural forested areas will eventually create videos available for viewing on line at www.protectbar­ rycontyoutdoors.org and at www.banfrackinginfo.com. The group collecting sig­ natures meets every Monday from 7 to 9 p.m. and Friday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Thomas Jefferson Hall at 328 South Jefferson St Hastings. The group plans to meet through July 2 to col­ lect the signatures.

It also changes the air quality and can become a natural host for invasive species. Reclamation is not restoration,44 said Heatley. He likened restoration to put­ ting a puzzle back together that doesn’t have all its pieces. It can be put back together, he said, but it won't ever be exactly the same. It's like putting a puzzle back together without all the pieces. It won't ever be the same,” said Heatley.

Kathryn Seelye and oth­ ers are working to collect 400,000 signatures by July 8 to put the issue of fracking on a statewide ballot. If that's done, voters will decide whether or not frack­ ing should be allowed in the state. “Energy attracts energy,” If said Kathryn Seelye. enough people put out the kind of energy we need to fight this, we can get to the people who have power.” Landowners in Barry County are being approached to lease their land to gas companies for the purpose of placing wells on the site. These wells may be used for the fracking process that drills not just vertically, but also horizontally.

In just two weeks time, more than 50,000 votes were cast in 11 categories of “hot dads.” Hulst won the category for dads over 40 and said he credits having good genes and a great family. “They keep me happy,” he said. For his honor, Hulst does­ n’t just get bragging rights. He and his wife, Christie, were flown to New York and appeared on the “Today Show” with Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb. Hulst was one of four final­ ists competing for the top honor and an all-expense cruise for four. paid Eventually, that honor went David to “newby dad George of Ohio. Hulst got the free trip to New York and a $500 gift card to Target. “I guess it’s my claim to fame now.” said Hulst who admits he’s a little over­ whelmed by it all. The Hulsts have three children, 11-year-old daugh­ ter Danyn; 3-year-old daugh­ ter Macey; and 2-month-old son Beckket. “My wife and daughter were home and saw this con­ test and decided to enter,” he said. “I was selected from however many applications that were submitted in my category as one of the top 10 fl" '5* 1^ ■ ■ McConnell and her mother, Lucille McConnell of Middleville She sadly leaves behind her husband of 49 years, Floyd Buckowing; daughter, Terri (Bill) Ellison; daughter, Lori (Brian) Holt; son, Floyd Dutton Christian School 6980 Hanna Lake SE, Caledonia • 616-698-8660 Dutton Christian School offers an excellent Christian education including three options for I Buckowing Jr.; son, Kevin (Kim) Buckowing; daughter, Dawn Buckowing; son, John (Sherry) Buckowing; sister, Janice (Tom) Owens; sister, Deborah (Doug) Buckowing; grandchildren, Wayne Baker, Kyle Baker, Olivia (David) Langley, Jared (Sarah) Wabeke, Amber (Chris) Partin, Austin Buckowing, Josh Buckowing, Khristy (Cole) Spencer, Kenneth (Paula) Spencer, Kari (Tim) Paintin, Dustin Buckowing and Ashley Buckowing; 11 great grandchildren and many nieces, nephews and in-laws.

In his online profile at ivillage.com, Hulst is asked what he loves most about being a dad. “The biggest thing I’m proud of is the way they treat other kids. In school there are little cliques, and my kids try to stand up for someone Todd Hulst poses with daughter Macey. l#1. who is getting picked on. We try to teach our kids that we are no better than anyone else, and to treat everyone equally, so when I see that attitude in them, it makes me happy.” He’s also asked about how he keeps his marriage strong and exciting. “I just let her know how much I appreciate her. It kinda gets overwhelming because everything is around the kids, and I want to make sure she knows she’s still special to me. I give her respect, she gives me respect.” As modest as he is about the title, Hulst said he’s proud and he's especially proud of his family. “My wife is super-sup­ portive and I have great kids.” The contest was spon­ sored by ivillage.

The first of two bid authorizations directs the township engineering firm to ask for bids for the installation of an Americans with Disabilities Act restroom and entrance to the commu­ nity hall. The second bid authoriza­ tion is for the expansion and repair of the parking lot at the hall and the expansion of the parking lot at the fire bam on Payne Lake Road. The ADA compliant rest­ room and entrance to the community hall also includes a canopy over the entrance to the building, a separate project involving a $35,000 estimate from Fleis and Vandenbrink Engineering that mat was approved 4-1 with Treasurer John Jerkatis dissenting. The work should be completed in time for the November presi­ dential election. An engineering estimate for additional spaces and work to correct a drainage problem at the hall is $91,000. The work to pro­ vide additional spaces and lighting needed at the Payne Lake fire station parking lot is expected to cost $40,000. Both lots are expected to be available for the November presidential election. Until —. •r M 4b. * i IK i- Mis I then voters at Precinct One (town hall) and Precinct Two (fire station) will most likely have to exercise caution when parking at both loca­ tions for the Aug. 7 primary election. Motions to approve the expenditure estimates were passed 5-0. During the public comment period, four candidates running running in in the the Aug. Aug. 77 Republican Republican primary primary for for political office introduced themselves. Tom Evans, Barry County prosecutor who is running for reelection, said his office has extended office hours, insti­ tuted a policy of having one attorney follow a case from beginning to end, added a bad check program, and developed a paperless filing system. He added that, for the first time in several years, the prosecutor’s office is participating on the county's gun board. Jim DeYoung, a candidate for the 6th county commis­ sion district seat, said his administrative experience and knowledge of budgets would be an asset to the county board of commis­ sioners. He recently retired as administrator of Thornapple Manor during which time he served on sev­ eral county committees. Two candidates for the post of supervisor in Yankee Springs Township, Mark and Englerth and Warren Wheeler, introduced themselves. Englerth reminded the audience that he is a for­ mer county commissioner and is a local businessman, He said he is a landow ner and land owners should be able to use their land. Warren Wheeler said that fracking was not a township issue and landowners should be able to do things with their land. He thanked the board board for for giving giving him him the the opportunity to serve on the Parks and Recreation Committee, Committee. A discussion of fracking (horizontal hydraulic fracturing) was initiated by Bonnie Slayton, Payne Lake Homeowners Association. Observing that leases in the township had been purchased by Petrodon, a drilling company, Slayton suggested a township watch committee formed. She urged the board to be protec­ tive of the area and vigilant. She also wanted a testin •li regimen and wanted the DNR and DEQ involved. Supervisor Al McCrumb responded that he was not sure this was a township function. Unlike other occasions when a pro-fracking voice was minimally present, Marvin Helder announced that he had just signed a lease on some property he owned in Traverse City area. He said Petrodon was a good company, that Michigan had very stringent rules, and that the DNR was present at all drilling sites to ensure the rules were followed.

She pointed out that two islands in Robbins Bay impair boaters’ vision; those islands should be marked with buoys, said Jurczykowski. She also shared concern with the speed some boaters use in the lake’s many channels. “They go full speed; they don’t know the rules,” she said. “Every channel should have a no-wake buoy. It is about safety. It is a very crowded lake.” Supervisor Al McCrumb said the township did not have facilities for buoys. Tnistee Mary Cook ampli­ fied his remarks. “The problem is getting the buoys in and out of the water," she said. Robert Lippert, zoning administrator, referring to a 2006 report, raised the issue of financing the cost of the buoys, saying he thought the recent Gun Lake Casino rev­ enue-sharing award could be used to finance the purchase of the buoys. According to the report submitted to the board in December 2006, 13 buoys would take care of establishing no-wake zones on Deep Lake, Cobb Lake, and Gun Lake, plus the two additional J j J r AITCHISON assumes the responsibility for placing a buoy on its channel.

Some discussion of the cost of buoys followed; Jurczykowski said the dis­ counted price noted in the 2006 report was undoubtedly no longer available; she felt some sort of discount should ‘ , be explored by the township, Cook moved to appropriate $2,500 for buoys; Treasurer John Jerkatis supported the motion; it passed unanimously. Tnistee Al Schwennesen, who lives on Cobb Lake, said that the lake association boats and staff living in the township who could place and remove the buoys. The Payne Lake Road fire station has the space to store them. McCrumb turned to deputy supervisor Alice Jansma, asking if the township had the money, Jansma replied, “We'll make it.” A portion of Gun Lake is located within the boundaries of Orangeville Township. The buoys to be installed in Gun Lake will be installed within the portion of the lake within Yankee Springs Township. There was no discussion of any possible arrangement for buoys with Orangeville Township. < In memory and with love to our son.

One can only assume that it is because of trust. The township residents trust their elected officials to do what is in the best inter­ ests of the township. I spoke of the dangers of horizontal hydraulic fracturing at the last two Irving Township meetings. 1 believe the township officials owe it to their community to investigate the health tigate the health risks involved in fracking, as well as potential environmental and monetary impacts to Irving Township. If it is in the best interests of the people of any township to ban fracking, the township officials have an obligation to do what they can to prevent this potential hazard to their township.A ban on fracking at the township level sends a message to state officials in Lansing. Congratulations to the township officials of Yankee Springs, Orangeville and Thornapple townships for taking a stand. The people of those townships are fortunate indeed in having strong leadership. However, even with a resolution to ban fracking at a township level, it is essential to contact state representa­ tives to keep Michigan environmentally safe.

Council member Joyce Lutz said she wanted to revise rules so that if the council held a public hearing, no decision would be made by council the same night as the public hearing She said it would show peopie that council members are listening to concerns and digesting what is said. Other council members said it's not necessary to make it a mandate and that the council already often does delay action.

Jackson’s opportunity to live in Caledonia, where she had spent much time with her grandparents and cousins, came when her husband. Robert Jackson, DVM, was offered a job at the South Kent Veterinary Hospital in 1980. "Caledonia always felt like home," she said.

The sculpture, commis­ sioned by Judy Harrison and her family, was funded by friends m gifts from Harrison's memory, The piece, a large aluminum hare, was sculpted by Aron Bravata, a Caledonia native and sculptor. The hare was chosen to pair with a tortoise and to carry out the theme of Aesop's fable of the Hare and the Tortoise according to Judy Harrison. Harrison said she selected Bravata because she had seen his work and liked it.

Middleville, is having another exciting VBS for kids ages 5 1/2 to those going into 6th grade. It will be July 9-13, from 9 AM-noon. This year, the kids will soar into the clouds and learn about trusting God. Outreach will be another focus, and money will be raised to pur­ chase mosquito nets for chil­ dren in Mali, Africa. In this country, mosquitos are mainly a nuisance though a few do carry diseases, like­ ly Lyme’s disease. However, in Africa, it is not uncommon for a whole village to have malaria. Malaria can be prevented by having a simple, inexpen­ sive mosquito net over chil­ drens’ beds while they sleep. Peace Church will be encouraging children to bring daily donations, starting July 9.

June 30. 2012 Summer heat can be dangerous - even deadly Heat was a factor in at least three deaths last year in Michigan. With the hot weather in the forecast, there are a few things people can do to beat the heat. Children, the elderly and pets are especially at risk. The Kent County Health Department has a few reminders about keeping safe during hot sum­ mer days. Never leave children or animals in a parked vehicle unattended, even with win­ dows cracked open. “If it gets sunny and hot. the temperature inside a parked car can reach 120 degrees or more in a matter ।of minutes,” says Cathy “ ----Raevsky, health officer for the Kent County Health Department. “Heat stroke and death can occur in these dangerous situations.” Last year, 33 children in the United States died of hyperthermia when left unattended in hot vehicles, according to the San Francisco State University Department of Geosciences, Elderly people have a much more difficult time dealing with heat. Their bodies may not adjust as quickly t0 changes in temperature and some medications can cause adverse reactions to heat. “If you know elderly adults, adults, check check on on them them twice twice aa day during these hot days,” Raevsky. advises ““Encourage Encourage them them to to drink drink cold, cold, non-alcoholic non-alcoholic beverbeverages to stay well-hydrated.

Whether you’re hitting the road, jumping on a plane or even enjoying a “staycation” at home, you're probably look­ forward toto some ining g forward some down down time with with your your family. time family. But But not every aspect of your life should be relaxed, should be relaxed, Specifically, Specifically, you you don don’t’t want want to take a vacation from investing — which means y° u need to become become aa dilidiliyou need to gent, year-round investor. Here are a few suggestions that can help: • Keep on investing. Don’t head to the investment “side­ lines” when the financial markets experience volatility- You don’t want to be a nonparticipant when things turn around because, historically, the early stage of any market rally is generally ains when the biggest agains occur. (Keep in mind that past performance performance of ofthe the marmar­ past ^ket et isis not a guarantee of of future results.) • Keep learning. In just about any classroom, the best students are the ones who get the most out of their education and put their learning to the best use. And the same is true of the investment world: The more you know about forces that affect your investments’ performance, and about why you own the investments you do, the more likely you are to make the * ’ moves — and the less right likely you'll be to make hasty and unwise decisions. • Keep your focus on the long term. As an investor, you need to look past those events — such as natural disasters, recession fears and political instability abroad — that may have noticeable short-term effects on the financial markets but little impact over the longer term, So instead of making invest­ ment decisions based on today’s headlines, think about what you want your financial picture to look like in 10, 20 or 30 years — and take the appropriate steps to help make that picture mate­ rialize. These steps include following a long-term, disci­ plined investment strategy that’s suitable for your individual needs, making adjustments as time goes on and working with a professional financial advisor who knows your situation and can help you make the right choices. • Keep looking for growth opportunities. To achieve your long-term goals, such as a comfortable retirement, you’ll need to own growthoriented investments, such as stocks and other investments that contain equities. The percentage of your holdings devoted to stocks should be based on your risk tolerance, time horizon and proximity to retirement. But no matter what your situation, you want a portfolio that's designed to help you meet your investment goals. • Keep relying on ^hard­ working ” investments. To help ensure your investments are working hard for you, choose those vehicles that can help you in multiple ways. For example, when you invest in a 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan, your money grows on a tax-deferred basis, which means it can accumulate faster than if it were placed in an investment on which you paid taxes every year. (Keep in mind that taxes are due upon with­ drawal, and withdrawals prior to age 59_ may be subject to a 10% IRS penalty.) Plus, you typically fund your 401 (k) with pretax dollars, so the more you put in each year, the lower your taxable income. Furthermore, with the choices available in your plan, you can create a good mix of investments. Enjoy your vacation this summer. But no matter what the season, don’t take a break from investing. Your efforts may pay off nicely for you in the future. I 14) 0 I •L This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.

Numerous repairs have been made since 2009. Workers removed all of the bricks from the intersec­ tion and the concrete ring.

Bricks at the other two intersections have settled and will not have to be replaced. Engineers from Fleis and Vandenbrink Engineering Inc. originally engineered the brick designs and instal­ lations. Although officials say the work met industry standards, the grade at the High and Main Street inter­ section appears to simply be too great for the bricks to successfully remain in place. Numerous attempts to fix the shifting bricks were done in 2009, 2010, 2010, and 2011. Officials hoped that reduc reduc-­ ing truck traffic with the opening of the new bridge on Crane Road would help alleviate the problem, but there have still been issues with the intersection bricks, Workers removed bricks Tuesday early and Wednesday morning, poured the concrete, added color, and then stamped the brick pattern, The road will remain closed to allow the concrete time to set. There will be some minor fixes made at the Church Street intersection within the next two weeks as well, but those bricks will not be replaced. Parts of the deco­ rative pattern will be removed and a new, more course, base used to replace the sand. The bricks will then be reset. Village council members said there aren't as many issues at that intersection and hope the new base will solve the few issues there. Fleis and Vandenbrink are paying for the repairs with no cost to the village. I i KI 111 1 Jb M Village council votes to control mute swan population by Julie Makarewicz Staff Writer Mute swans will be target­ ed for population control measures on Middleville’s Mill Pond after council members approved a resolu­ tion to take action over the next five years so long as grants and state funds are available for the program. The resolution gives the Michigan Department of Natural Resources manage­ ment control to reduce the mute swan population through removal of the swans and nest and egg destruction. The program will allow permits to be issued for mute swan management to proper­ ty owners along Mill Pond as well as allow the MDNR access to the Mill Pond through public access points to implement the manage­ ment plan. MDNR grants will cover the costs of the program. These funds are available at least through the end of the year and may be available in coming years as well. The resolution makes it clear that the control of mute swan populations is needed to improve the overall ecosystem and health of the Mill Pond. MDNR officer Sarah Schaefer told council mem­ bers at an earlier meeting that overpopulation of the mute swans may be harming the natural environment and wildlife of the Mill Pond. After touring the Mill Pond, Schaefer said there are about 30 adult mute swans in the area. Mute swans are not natu­ ral to Michigan and are often very aggressive. They can force out the natural trum­ peter swan, which is on the state's threatened species list. Increased presence of the mute swan threatens the successful breeding for the trumpeter swan. The most notable differ­ ence between mute and trumpeter swans is that the adult male mute swan has an orange bill while the trum­ peter's bill is black. Schaefer told council members there are also signs that the Mill Pond is becom­ ing more of a marsh area because the amount of underwater vegetation is decreasing due to the over­ population of the swans. The DNR’s long-term goal is to reduce the state's population of mute swans to less than 2,000 by 2030. If mute swan populations are not reduced on the Mill Pond, Schaefer said they will continue to breed and grow in the area. I Hi’ * > (. < «• �JT- — r * The Sun and News. Saturday.

Saturday, June 30, 2012 Girls’ lacrosse teams awarded medals at Meijer State Games POLICE BEAT Roommate takes a phone to the face Sheriff deputies and a State Police trooper were dispatched to a possible domestic assault at a Rutland Township residence on Scenic Trail June 13 around 8:30 p.m. A Central Dispatch operator said the call was from a screaming female who possibly said someone had been shot. When the dis­ patcher recontacted the woman, she said her room­ mate had gotten jealous and hit her 10 times in the head. She said she did not want law enforcement involved. By contacting the caller’s cell phone provider, the operator was able to learn the address on North M-37. When authorities arrived, the 43year-old Hastings woman said the man had hit her in the head and she, in return, had punched him in the face. Reportedly, the man had left the house and went to Pennock Hospital for med­ ical treatment. The trooper and a deputy proceeded to Pennock to talk with the man, while a second deputy stayed with the woman. The man reportedly had three cuts around his left eye which was .swollen and bruised. He also had a bump on the back of his head, which he said was from the woman pushing him into the bathtub. The man said the woman had hit him with a cordless phone and said he never hit her. When asked, the woman admitted to hav­ ing a phone in her hand when she hit the man. Deputies also noted the woman smelled of strongly of alco­ hol, and she refused a portable breath test. She told deputies she was currently on parole. She was arrested for domestic assault. The report was turned over to the prosecutor’s office and the case remains open. Truck robbery takes twists and turns A man called from Middleville June 14 to report his truck had been taken, damaged and then returned. He told deputies the truck was not parked in the same spot, and that the tires had been slashed, a Boze stereo, GPS, CB radio, powerretractable mirrors and Boss V snowplow were missing and the dashboard had been tom apart. The caller said it appeared the truck was driv­ en into his lawn tractor, then off the property and into the woods and onto Grange -r— JI THE 269-967-8241 Road, then back onto his property, hitting his porch and stopping near a pool. Deputies reported the driver’s side door was still open, all four tires were slashed, and a steak knife was stuck into the weather stripping of the driver’s door, The man said he thinks the thieves used his spare set of keys, which he kept in the truck’s console, to drive the vehicle away and remove parts. Cost of damage is estimated at $8,000. No fingerprints were found. Wayland resident has no idea what happened ■J I ft r - u A’ i Jli* f If Deputies received a call from a motorist in Orangeville June 18 reporting a person lying in the road near the intersection of Marsh and Nine Mile roads.

He registered a .23 percent blood alcohol level. He declined medical attention and said he only wanted to go home. After calling sever­ al people for a ride and contacting no one, the man was driven to his residence by a deputy.

Pure Advantage Lacrosse’s (PAL) teams are made up of girls from the Caledonia, Lowell, Northview, Portage, Mattawan,Rockford and Hartland school districts. The U15 PAL girls took the silver in their division, while the U17 PAL girls earned bronze medals. “The girls had no practice due to the rapid formation of the teams and the distance some of the girls had to travel,” said PAL president Ralph Shefferly. “Despite that, they played very well.” Shefferly called the U15 girls the “cardiac kids” and the U17 girls the “iron women” of the tournament. The U15 girls reached the gold medal game, where they fell 7-6 to Team Lax (from Okemos and Hartland) 7-6 in double overtime. The player of the game for the PAL team was goalie Michelle Kingsley who kept her team in contention for the gold with save after save. “The goal scoring by Mia Harvey and Courtney Pontious was a great sight to see,” Shefferly said. The U17 “iron women” played eight games over the course of the two days in their division, eventually finishing third. The PAL girls will travel to play in a tournaments in Kalamazoo and Chicago in July, Pure Advantage Lacrosse was formed to give girls an opportunity to play lacrosse through out the Midwest, The club is open to all girls, and there is a boys division also.

What is decided now could have farreaching effects on our state’s health for decades to come. Anyone who drives past our clinic can see the “ban fracking” sign on our front lawn. Generally, I am not an activist. My wife and I have lived in Barry County for 16 years, and this is my first let­ ter to the editor on any topic. My concerns about frack­ ing are two-fold. First, and most frightening, is the huge array of chemicals used by the drilling companies. Part of my veterinary education includes courses in organic chemistry, biochemistry and toxicology. I am familiar with some of the chemicals approved for use by the drilling companies. They do not mean much to people when they are listed as ethyl­ ene glycol, naphthalene,benzene, ethylbenzene, xylene, and acetaldehyde. When you call them by their regular names (antifreeze, mothballs, paint/vamish remover, diesel fuel, and industrial solvents) then people understand more clearly. The supporters of fracking point out that the chemicals make up only .05 percent of the liquid pumped into the well. However, each well has at least 2 million gallons of liquid pumped into it. That means a minimum of 10,000 gallons of these chemicals go into each well, and the total is probably much more. These chemicals have been proven to have widespread effects on mammals (our pets, livestock and us). They have been proven to cause seizures, blindness, brain damage, bone marrow suppression, kidney and liver damage and cancer. If you think these are not relevant issues around here, you need to come and walk a mile in my shoes. Remember pets have a compressed lifes­ pan compared to their own­ ers. One year for us equals about seven years to them. As a result, pets can and do serve as a sentinel species for environmental quality. If our state becomes contaminated with these chemicals, we have only just begun to see how bad the health effects will be for us all. Supporters of fracking feel reassured reassured by by the the fact fact that that the the drilling companies place monitoring water wells around a fracked well. In theory it sounds good, but by the time chemical contaminants appear in any of those wells, the horse is already out of the barn. You will never get those chemicals contained again, and they are deadly, My second concern is methane gas contamination of groundwater and ultimate­ ly people's wells. Right now, methane pockets underground are compartmented and stable. When those are broken into, the methane is going going to to start start moving, moving, Unfortunately, nobody has a crystal ball to foresee which it will follow. path have University studies found water wells near frack­ ing wells to be 17 times more likely to be contaminated with methane. There have been documented cases in Colorado and Wyoming where homeowners can ignite the water that runs out of their tap with a lighter, Eventually, someone is going to get killed, or their home is going to have a serious fire, My final concern is that the drilling companies seem unaccountable for any conse­ quences of their work. They do not have to report to surrounding residents what chemicals they are using, Any charges or hearings that I have observed result in them denying any responsi­ bility for ruined wells or health of deteriorating humans or animals around fracked wells. How can they look people in the eye and tell them their water wells which have been just perfect for 40 or 50 years have sud­ denly gone bad? How can they deny that people's stomach problems, headaches, t> There are still a few plots available in the Middleville Community Garden. The garden is located near Lee Elementary School and vil­ lage officials say there is still plenty of time for planting late summer and early fall crops.

In 2005, Congress voted to make fracking exempt from the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, and the Safe Drinking Water Act (basically every rule set up back in the 1970s to help protect our environment). We need to raise a unified voice against what is trying to come here. Otherwise, everything we have in our state could be affected by the actions of others in search of profit. If you are not informed about this issue, there are several sites worth checking out online. In my opinion, two good ones are Earthworks Hydraulic Fracturing 101 and Don't Fracture lllinois.org. Also 9 the movie “Gasland” by Josh Fox is very informative. You can have the most impact by signing a ban fracking petition before the end of this month. We have them at Hart Animal Hospital for every Michigan county from Allegan to Washtenaw. You can also contact your local representatives in Congress with a letter that tells them how you feel about this issue. If nothing is done about this, then the drilling companies companies will believe nobody cares. It's time to show them people do car.

Council members meet July 10 and will discuss the projects and bonds at that time. They discussed the bond projects at a commitmeeting tee-of-the-whole July 3, but made no deci­ sions. They’ve already approved in May a notice of intent to issue $1.1 million in capital improvement bonds. Those bonds can be considered in different phases. A first phase of $700,000 could be issued now with a second series issued in 2013. Projects considered for the first phase bonds include: • $15,000 to contribute to the Downtown Development Authority for an LED sign at the intersection of M-37 and Main Street. The DDA hopes to beautify the northeast and southeast corners of that intersection and promote the downtown area. Its first goal is to have an LED sign installed allowing messages about upcoming community events • $60,00 for the lift station pumps. • $96,558 for the Cardinal Court water main project. •$145,627 for utility work • • in North block. • $25,000 for sidewalk improvements and installa­ tions. • $300,000 for street proj­ ects yet to be determined. • $25,000 for improve­ ments at Calvin Hill Park, including replacement of a basketball court, small paviladdition. parking ion improvements and new pic­ nic tables. This would also match the $20,000 in improvements done recently to the skate park by the Sk8Park Project committee, • $24,850 for the bond issuance costs. Council members still have to debate and determine what projects to do with the bonds and even if they will move forward with the bonds. Council member Joyce Lutz expressed her concerns about an LED sign and improvements to the park when so many streets and sidewalks need repairs. “I thought the whole idea was to make the intersection look nice and make it a gate­ way to the downtown. I’m not sure that the kind of sign we want. I just don’t think an LED sign is a real cool sign,” she said. Village Manager Rebecca Fleury said the DDA has been working on designs and possible ideas for the inter­ section and has determined their first need is a sign to promote the downtown area and events. They also hope to do landscaping around the signs, but may have to do the project in phases. Lutz said the major street fund is already still more than $500,000 in the hole, and she’s concerned about adding more debt. “All this won't even fix our streets,” said Lutz. “We re letting our streets go that need to be done, and we re going to tum these debts over to our kids and they're still going to have bad streets.” Council member Phil VanNoord argued there will always be need for road repairs and that at least some A young team from Caledonia was awarded the sportsmanship award at the Gus of the funds should be used Macker Tournament in Hastings.

But village officials aren't ready to sign off on the work just yet. They want to make certain the concrete works and that more repairs at Church Street are also com­ pleted to satisfaction. Although the designs for the decorative street brick work met industry standards, according to Fleis and VandenBrink staff, the •I’m kJ * ?'■> Si bricks at the Main and High street intersection were a constant source of trouble. Because of the steep grade at that intersection, bricks con­ tinued to shift and dislodge, creating an uneven surface. Numerous fixes and repairs were tried over three years, but none resolved the issue completely. Recently, the village agreed to have the bricks removed and replaced with stamped, colored conCrete to closely match the other two decorative inter­ sections. The work has been completed, and some minor repairs at Main and Church street will be done within two weeks.

Sta# Writer Barry County Sheriff’s deputies assigned in the vil­ lage of Middleville will not be allowed to take home vehicles even though an apparent new policy from the sheriffs department allows other officers to take vehicles home. Village manager Rebecca Fleury told council members that she was asked by Middleville officers about the policy recently. She then contacted the undersheriff and was told the policy was not meant to apply to Middleville officers. The village contracts with the sheriff’s department for officers assigned to the vil­ lage. The village, however, supplies the vehicles for the officers. Fleury said the village does not have enough vehicles for officers to take vehi­ cles home. There would also be additional travel expenses for the village since none of the officers live within the village. Fleury told council mem­ bers the officers may file a grievance with the sheriffs department and union since this is a benefit they will not be eligible to receive. “It’s not something that should affect our deputies and cars,” she said. Fleury said she will main­ tain contact with the sheriff 1 1WBUC SB wiwimi 4 • HI liNi fl to make certain there aren’t issues with the Middleville officers.

Center Town Residents in the area request­ ed the light, saying it gets very dark in the area when the businesses turn off their lights. A light will cost about $1,150. Fleury was instruct­ ed to determine the best location for the light and discuss the possibility of Town Center businesses helping share the cost. • Council members were asked to start thinking about whether thev they want want to to make make whether any changes to the policy of snow removal on sidewalks for the upcoming winter sea­ son. Department of Public director Duane Works Duane Weeks said currently the vil­ lage does not remove snow on sidewalks, but ordinances require property owners to remove snow. There have been problems enforcing the ordinance in the past. Weeks said if the village wants to take on the responsibility themselves the village must come up with guidelines for which sidewalks to plow and •Jli R9 Quality Pre-Owned Furniture, Household Items \ Antiques, Toys and More!

Officials from Fleis and VandenBrink offered the vil­ lage a letter of understanding that work has now been com­ pleted and the company is no longer held responsible. But village council mem­ bers are saying, “Not so fast.” They want to make certain the concrete holds up and that the repairs at Church Street will resolve issues there. Council members said they will wait a while before signing the letter of under­ standing. Fleis and VandenBrink has made numerous repairs at no cost to the village and completed the concrete work at their own cost, as well. to purchase equipment for the job. • Village officials will continue investigating the possibility of installing fuel tanks for large quantity fuel storage and savings. By ordering fuel in bulk, the village hopes to get a better rate. They are working with Thomapple Kellogg Schools to see if they can partner for even more cost savings. • The council will consid­ er a 2-acre property donation from Charles Clark. The property is adjacent to Spring Park north of Holes Street and west of State Street. The property could easily be incorporated into the park and could be used for additional disc golf holes. If the donation is accepted, the village will have to pay for title and closing costs of about $1,000. • Council members discussed the village-owned lot west of Faro’s Pizza on Main Street. It is being used for 9 parking by Faro’s customers as well as parking for people living in the adjacent apartments. Council members said they believe it should be either improved and leased out for use or closed so it cannot be used. They also want to look at other villageowned lots that are being used for private parking. • Council will consider requests for proposals for auditing and legal services for the village. Council members said they want to look at the whole package that firms can offer and will consider costs as part of their decsion.

Of course, the 4th of July is more than hoopla — it’s a time to reflect on the many freedoms we enjoy in this country. Yet, for many peo­ ple, one important type of freedom financial freedom — is still elusive. So you may want to use this hol­ iday as an occasion to think of those steps you can take to eventually declare your own Financial Independence Day. Here are some moves that can help: • Create a strategy.

Each year, put in as much as you can afford to your 401(k) or similar employer-sponsored retire­ ment plan, such as a 457(b) if you work for a state or local government or a 403(b) if you work for a school or other tax-exempt organiza­ tion. These plans offer the potential for tax-deferred earnings, so your retirement Mission Trip.” The group, with members ranging in ages from 3 to 78 will spend Aug. 3 through Aug. 10 working at various projects in Barry County. In the past, the team has gone to Africa, Kentucky, the Upper Peninsula and sev­ eral other places. This year, they felt the Lord leading them to go next door to Barry County. Approximately 40 people will camp at the Barry County fairgrounds then go out to various jobs through­ out the week. Some of the projects include helping John Nash I with the “Helping Hands Ministry,” which goes out to help the homeless and displaced. The Leighton group will also have a Bible Time Adventure Puppet Week Monday, Aug. 6, through || Thursday, Aug. 9, at Lifegate Community Church on the corner of State and Boltwood streets in Hastings. Each day from 9:30 a.m. to noon, children 3 and older will be able to make their own puppets, do science experiments, have water fun, play games and be served lunch. | Team members will also I work on home repairs for L • two veterans in Middleville. :| w funds can grow faster than if they were placed in an investment on which you paid taxes every year. Also, if you're eligible, try to “max out” on your IRA every year. • Maintain adequate life insurance. If you have a family, you aren’t just thinking of your own financial independence — you have to think of theirs, too. And that's why you need to main­ tain adequate life insurance, particularly during the years when your children are growing up. But even after they’ve left the home, you may, find that life H insurance __ ___ ______ can can be be valuable valuable inin providing providing retirement retirement funds funds for for your your spouse, spouse, should should anything anything haphap­ pen pen to to you. you.

You may never need any type of long-term care, such as a stay in a nursing home or assis­ tance from a home health aide, but if you do, the enor­ mous costs can threaten your financial independence — and possibly even put an economic strain on your spouse or grown children. After all, the national aver­ age rate for a private room in a nursing home is more than $87,000 per year, according to the 2011 MetLife Market Survey of Nursing Home, Assisted Living, Adult Day Services, and Home Care Costs. And the national hourly rate for home health aides is $21, according to the same survey. Medicare typically pays very little of these costs, which puts the burden on you. Fortunately, some investment vehicles can help you deal with long-term care expenses. Consult with your financial advisor to deter­ mine which of these vehicles may be appropriate for your needs. A national holiday won’t be declared when you achieve your financial inde­ pendence — but, for you, it will be a time well worth celebrating. So do what it takes to work toward the arrival of that happy day.

Among the changes affecting Caledonia is the movement of board of education elec­ tions to November from the spring. The board has not yet taken up the issue of whether to go to a six-year term for members from the current four-year cycle. The term of probation for new teachers is now five years before they can be con­ sidered for tenure. An area of controversy in some districts has been com- mercial advertising content in newsletters; under the new policy, the district superin­ tendent decides the content of newsletters. The board approved the recommendations. Personnel issues also occupied the board. Phillips commented that there had been a significant number of changes in personnel connected to athletic programs in the district. Coaches for nine activities were hired: Tom Burrill, head coach for junior junior varsity varsity football football and and coach coach for forfreshman freshman girls girls basbasketball; Tyler Holstege, freshmen boys basketball; Jim Klomparens, freshman assistant football coach; Matt Armstrong, junior varsity assistant football coach; Elisa Yonker, freshman girls volleyball; Jenny Rogers, junior varsity girls basketball coach; coach; and and Nancy Vandefifer, freshman side­ line cheer coach. Blair Lincoln has resigned as varsity boys soccer coach. Jenny Jonkman has resigned as freshman volleyball coach. Kim Pyper is transferring to a position as an occupational therapist. Payshence Uyl and Jenny Jonkman, high school social studies teachers, are taking family medical leave absences as is Anna Warren, eighth grade teacher at Duncan Lake Middle School. Lori TePastte has resigned as Caledonia Elementary Title I and non-insurance aide. Donna Friedrich has retired as a Duncan Lake Middle School Library aide. Cheryl Patty “Walbridge> and Klapmust have retired from the Transitions Program. Patty Kohl, paraprofessional, has retired from Caledonia Elementary. Luke Rosenberg, high school choir director, has taken a one-year leave of absence. The board unanimously approved all the personnel changes, Board President Mike Patterson introduced the public comment period saying he understood that several people wanted to speak on the open soccer coaching position. He said he would allot 20 minutes and he would allow as many as six speakers giving each an average of three minutes. He also said the process of hiring a new coach begins with the administrative team which will make a recommendation to the board. The first speaker was Dr. Richard Siegle, who recommended Christian Niles, cur­ rently the assistant varsity coach. He said his sons thought Niles made made soccer soccer thought Niles fun. fun. His His wife, wife, Carla, Carla, had had managed the soccer team. He also noted he had heard repeatedly that a “good old boys" network operated in Caledonia. He closed his remarks saying that his support of Niles was based on character and his compe­ tence as a coach. Steve Mulanix and Mike Mullen also supported Niles as the best choice for the open coaching position. Ryan Beering, a student at Caledonia High School and co-captain of the junior varsity soccer team, said Niles is a dedicated coach who has good relationships with the players and would be the best choice for varsity coach. The meeting closed with Phillips providing his report on the state of the district. He said the state is broke; the district has to do more with less and that is difficult. He endorsed Donohue's com­ ments about expenses and funding. He noted that the soccer and lacrosse stadium proceeding on onschedule; schedule; isis proceeding restrooms havebeen built and another restroom has been renovated. “This summer is a transi­ tion time,” he said. “I am thankful for 39 years in Caledonia and 40 in education. My wife and I have planned a vacation because I need to be away the first day of school." The next meeting of the board will be Tuesday, July 24, at 7 p.m. in the adminis­ trative offices at 9753 Duncan Lake Ave. CHICKENS, continued from previous page Wegener of Williams and Works, researched what surrounding communities allow. In his report he noted Freeport allows farm animals in the agricultural districts only. The city of Hastings allows farm animals in rural residential districts providing animals are kept enclosed and are at least 50 feet from adjoining properties. In Nashville, the only agri­ cultural operations allowed are those in compliance with the Michigan Right to Farm Act. Act. In In Lake Lake Odessa, Odessa, the keeping keeping of of agricultural agricultural animats including chickens is permitted in all districts if the number of animals does not exceed one animal per the first three acres of lot size. The city of Wayland does not allow livestock or fowl unless by special use permit in the residential agricultural district. Stacey Campos said she collected more than 50 signatures of people supporting her right to have chickens and only found four people unwilling to sign the petition. A lot of people were excited about it," she said. “I would hate to limit this to only the people who can meet those lot sizes. sizes. ” Planning commissioners said said itit didn't didn't make make sense sense to to spend between $2,000 and $4,000 writing an ordinance that will apply to maybe only 10 percent of the village res- idents. “I think we need to focus on what is good for the peopie and what is good for Middleville," said Stacey Campos. “This is a big thing people are try ing to do to be more more self-sustaining and know where their food is coming from and how it is raised.” Planning members said the ordinance committee should further debate the matter, considering remarks made at the planning commission meeting. A planning commission recommendation must eventually be considered by the village council as well. Bradford White gets additional permits by Julie Makarewicz Staff Writer Approval from planning commissioners has allowed Bradford White Corp, to continue its expansion project with an additional truck trailer parking lot. The additional 224 spaces for truck trailer parking will be located south of the 117space truck parking areas approved by the plannin planning commission in April. The property is zoned for light industrial use. Planning commissioners gave approval at their meet­ ing Tuesday and said they didn’t have any issues with the plan, as long as five conditions cited by theplanner are met. Those conditions are that: • No preliminary or final earthwork, grading or timber removal be done until a zon­ ■ing compliance permit is issued, • Trees planted within the buffer zones be at least six feet tall at the time of planting. • Proposed fence shall be a white, eight-foot tall fence similar to what has been installed and approved in * other phases • Existing wooded buffer between employee parking and dwelling fronting Grand Rapids Street will remain. • All engineering condi­ tions be met.

The participants began lining up in the Duncan Lake Middle School parking lot shortly before the official time of 10 a.m. Parade mas­ ter Walter Bujak had a very busy morning as vehicles began streaming into the lot. Volunteers from Caledonia Post #305 assisted with directing people to the prop­ er entrance to the lot. Shortly after 11 a.m. the Caledonia Fire Department led the parade with its impressive array of appara­ tus. Vehicles included historic tractors, such as the Farmall vehicles driven and owned by Mike and Cathy Smith of Middleville, as well as a very modem 20-foot articulated tractor driven by Nick Suwyn. There were also classic John Deere vehicles and a half-century-old AllisChalmers. These vehicles C’ ; -* Youngsters from the arts camp enjoy their ride in the parade. reflected the continuing interest and awareness of the importance of agriculture both in terms of Caledonia history and the present day. Another group of motor­ ized vehicles emphasized how the community has changed. A parade of vehi­ cles demonstrated the changes brought about by the impact of personal motorized transportation. The restored 1931 Ford Model A pickup truck driven by John and Cindy Kloosterman, a suc­ cessor to the famed Model T Ford, is illustrative of changes occurring in life on the farm. There were several his­ toric passenger vehicles ranging from a 1937 Chevrolet sedan through mid-fifties and beyond when id Paint . ▼ ■ THE ORIGINAL * I Highly d Recommended for Aluminum Siding .^AQUA BORNE A > CERAMIC COATINGS STncCepencCence tyay SOLID POWER WASH RENTAL HIDE FLAT EXTERIOR LO-SHEEN EXTERIOR LUMBER JACKET SEMI-TRANSPARENT CERAMIC HOUSE CERAMIC PRO DECK& CERAMIC PAINT HOUSE HOUSE SIDING STAIN EVERYDAY PAINT PAINT PRICE STAIN $K00 REG. $61.18 GAL. $E00 Day W OFF SAVE $5.00 W OFF OO OFF $4490 "T"T Gal.

The $700,000 first phase of the $1.1 million bonds will be issued now with the second series in 2013. Many of the first-phase projects may be completed this construction season and work will begin as soon as possible in many cases. One of the first projects may be helping the Downtown Development Authority pur­ chase an LED sign. The DDA has property at the northeast and southeast comers of Main Street and M-37 and wants to use those properties to help attract more visitors to the down­ town district. It hopes an LED sign will be both decorative and functional to promote activities and events. Eventually, the DDA hopes to also provide land­ scaping on the site that will beautify the area as well and make it a welcoming corner to the village, Doreen Dill, owner of Dill’s German American Restaurant in the downtown area said she’s very pleased to learn the sign is going to be purchased. “As a business owner, it’s imperative that we have some type of signage to pro­ mote the area and bring more people downtown,” she said. Council member Joyce Lutz expressed concern at last week's committee of the whole meeting about whether an LED sign was best way to beautify the area. She was told the DDA has looked at options and deter­ mined the sign is what they want to add first to the site. Street projects are a major part of the bonds. The village council approved $300,000 in street improvements. The main project will be reconstruction of Bender Road from the Green Lake Road intersection south to the village limits. Estimated cost is $280,549. Lutz said there are sever­ al roads that need major including improvements “As a business owner, it’s imperative that we have some type of signage to promote the area and bring more people downtown.” Doreen Dill, owner of Dill’s German American Restaurant In addition, the village will use nearly $20,000 for resealing streets in parts of Bryanwood and Misty Ridge estates. Lutz again expressed her concern that not enough funds are being spent on roads. pumps “In my opinion, our pri­ orities are wrong,” she said. Green Lake Road. She and council member Sue Reyff voted against the bond pro­ posal and projects. Other projects approved for the first series of bond funds include: • $60,00 for the lift station the $96,558 for Cardinal Court water main project to increase the size of the main • $145,627 for utility work in North block includ­ ing new water mains, sewer mains and asphalt. • $25,000 for sidewalk improvements and installa­ tions • $25,000 for improve­ ments at Calvin Hill Park including replacement of a basketball court, small pavil­ ion addition. addition, parking improvements and new picnic tables. This would also match the $20,000 in improvements done recently to the skate park by the Sk8Park Project committee. • $24,850 for the bond issuance costs. Village accepts land donation adjacent to park by Julie Makarewicz oils nob banwo (Hinfii t (limal rolbbiM isdmsm O) JflBW )i mfcD oii£nob gnilaam Staff Writer The Middleville village council accepted a two-acre donation of land adjacent to Spring Park contingent upon a successful title search. The property is currently owned by the Charles Clark family and it has been in his family for several years. The Clarks do not live near Middleville and told council members by letter that they want to donate the land and have it become part of the park. Council members said the additional land may provide more room for disc golf holes. They accepted the donation at their Tuesday meeting and will pay about $1,000 in closing costs and other fees, the same as they’ve done with past land donations. In other business: • The council approved seeking proposals for auditing and legal services for the village. village, • Council members appointed Dorothy Corson and Allison Leroy to the zon­ ing board of appeals. Manager • Village Rebecca Fleury said several code infraction citations have been issued recently and that people are starting to understand the village ordinance requirements. She said officials are getting a lot of cooperation from residents, and village officials are working with residents to educate them on regulations. Fleury reported the out­ door warning siren should be installed by early August. She also told council members she’s received several compliments about the new stamped and colored concrete on Main Street replacing the bricks at the High Street intersection. “People are saying it's really smooth, that it looks good, and they like the color and and how how itit looks looks like like brick, brick,”” she said. • Department of Public Works superintendent Duane Weeks said workers are focusing on watering trees and other vegetation rather than mowing in this dry weather. He told council members he doesn’t see any issue with water availability for the village, even with heavy watering by many res­ idents and businesses. “We've never had an issue and [have] always been able to supply enough water. I don’t see it being an issue right now,” he said. • Sheriff’s Deputy Sgt. Tony Stein asked the council to discuss the use of fire­ works in the village. He reminded them that any ordinance by the village cannot supersede state law and can­ not ban fireworks on July 3,4, or 5. But he said deputies have taken several complaints about fireworks since the holiday. He said it might be good for the coun­ cil to at least have a discus­ sion. “I’m hoping it wears off and it’s just a novelty thing, but we are having several complaints,” he said.

The new build­ ing would also have space for a second tenant. The commission attached a con­ dition that the second tenant must represent a use within the requirements of the C-2 zoning district. No action was required by the council. Moving on to reports, Trustee Todd Grinage reported that the contractor was finally going to begin the sidewalk repairs. He said that some additional sidewalks in need of repairs had been identified within the original area since the survey done last year and the contractor has agreed to repair those at no additional charge..• • All the work is scheduled o be done as soon as possible. Grinage was excused by village president Glenn Gilbert from the remainder of the meeting because he had another con con-­ flicting meeting. Paul Galdes, village engi­ neer, reported that he has written a letter to the school district regarding the sewer lines for the restrooms at the soccer field being renovated. He also reviewed the requirements for the proposed dental office. The Mill Street lift station was installed at too low a level and the pumps have failed resulting in sewage backups.

Gilbert addressed the issue of fireworks, sayin 4 that there was not much the village could do. Consumer fireworks such as sparklers and bottle rockets cannot be regulated during the 30 days allowed in the statute for the ten holidays including the day before and after the holi­ day. What can be regulated is the non-holiday period on the grounds of reckless endangerment. According to village attorney Mark Van AHsburg, safety regulations would still be applicable. Trustee Dan Erskine observed that any ordinance would have to be enforced. Overholt said one has to have an ordinance to enforce, The discussion closed with Van Allsburg's comment that the village has limited resources. A resolution to authorize renewal of the Federal Emergency Management Plan usually treated as an automatic renewal drew discussion when Overholt, who said he had read the document, raised questions about exactly what it allows the agency to do. Action on the resolution was tabled until the August meeting. Erskine opened the final council comment period saying he was disturbed there was no mention of Western Week on the agenda that evening. Trustee Karen Hahn expressed her sympathies for the congregants of the Mary church of St. Magdalene which was destroyed by fire thought to have been caused by a fire­ work. She thought the Caledonia celebration had gone very well. Trustee Gary Scholl thanked the committee and also the Western Week and Klassic Kilt committees for their efforts. Overholt thanked all the volunteers who made the events work. Trustee Danise Regan thanked Hahn and Overholt who served on the Independence Day Committee and also as vol­ unteers for Western Week and the others who made it possible. Gilbert closed out the comment period saying he hadn't heard any negatives. He urged everyone to be mindful of the danger of fires because it is so dry. He par­ ticularly urged caution with fireworks. The next meeting of the council will be on Monday, August 13 at 7 p.m. in the village hall, 250 Maple St. ^4' V" Kii J?®; i|i& to*I Mt ni« agi r wi. vait I ws tai & Rafail Qhx .^Hll l! c PM I j. *5* 07604543 k; Hastings Orthopedic Clinic, P.C. 1 iLU k r * ■ tit 1J David Heeringa, D.O., James Horton, JR, D.O •1 Eric Leep, D.O., Kenneth Merriman, M.D., A.B.O.S 840 Cook Road Hastings, Ml 49058 Call Today: 537 W.

One of the biggest changes will be physically moving the alternative edu­ cation program from the learning center adjacent to McFall Elementary to the high school. High school assistant prin­ cipal Brian Balding told board of education members Monday that the move allows more space for the all-day, every-day kinder­ garten and Young Fives pro­ grams. “We thought there was going to be a space issue for the kindergarten classes that needed to come in so we are moving to the high school room 405,” Balding said. There are advantages and concerns about the move. Advantages include alternative education students taking advantage of high school elective course offer­ ings if they choose to do so. They also will have access to the high school technology and can better be integrated with the rest of the high school population if they choose. The concerns are that some of the alternative edu­ cation students wanted to get out of the normal high school environment and may not feel as comfortable in the same building again. Balding said the program will be independent and students in the program will have access from the south entrance and may be able to eat lunch sep­ arate from the rest of the students if they want. “Some of the alternative education students don’t want to be part of thatratmos--------------------------- &&&&*'----------------------phere and that’s what we jr It’s time for a have to try and offer,” said ( Summer Touch-Up Balding.

Whether you’re rooting for the American or National League, you'll no doubt admire the ability and athleticism exhibited by these tremendous ballplayers. Of course, any all-star team is made up of players who bring different talents to the game. And this same approach — of combining a collection of skills toward one common effort — can be found in other endeavors, one of which is investing. Here, then, is one possible lineup of investment moves to consider: • Diversify. All invest­ ments have both benefits and risks. As an investor, your goal is to help maximize the benefits and minimize the risks — and one of the best ways to do this is by diversi­ fying your money across a range of assets. Diversifying can help you reduce the impact of market volatility that might affect your portfo­ lio if all your money was tied up in one particular asset class, and that asset went through a “down” period. Keep in mind, though, that diversification, by itself, can­ not guarantee profits or pro- taking significant your actions, your portfolio can evolve in ways that may not be to your liking. For exam­ ple, if some of your more aggressive investments appreciate greatly, they may eventually constitute a larger percentage of your holdings than you had planned — and in doing so, elevate your overall risk level. To prevent this from happening, you should meet with your financial advisor periodically to “rebalance” your portfolio. • Seek quality. Many peopie latch onto “hot” investments, only to be disappoint­ ed when they “cool off." Instead seek quality vehicles — the ones that generally lose the least ground when the market is down and recover more quickly when the market rallies. When you invest in stocks, for instance, look for those companies that have strong management teams, competitive products and good business models, When you purchase bonds, look for those with high rat­ ings from the independent rating agencies. • Stay invested. It’s tempt­ ing to “take a breather” from investing when the financial markets are volatile. But if MAKEQyvyisH Chest Pain ■ Difficulty Breathing V js3 ® to Jin cite?55 MU I 6 4® Call Livelinks.

If you've built a diversified portfolio of quali­ ty vehicles, it may be easier to stay invested. • Know your risk toler­ ance. If you find yourself constantly fretting about the market's ups and downs, to the extent that your worries are affecting the quality of your life, you may have a portfolio that’s unsuited to your your risk tolerance, Conversely, if you're dissatisfied with the growth of your investments, you may be investing too cautiously, which could be a concern when you're striving to reach long-term goals, such as a comfortable retirement. Ultimately, there's no one “right” way for everyone to invest, but you do need to match your portfolio's com­ position with your individual risk tolerance and time hori­ zon. Your financial advisor can help your find the “lineup of investment moves that is right for you. Put it to work soon. § EMERGENCY II *ll« Open 24 hours - 7 days a week 77569322 269.945.3451 *1009 W.

The scam is providing thieves access to consumer confidential information, he said, and leading consumers to use non-existent funds in their accounts to pay other bills. The fraud puts consumers at risk of identity theft, utility shutoffs, fees for non-sufficient checks, and more, said Cattlet. Consumers are being asked for their Social Security numbers and bank 1j routing information by the criminals, and in return are receiving their supposed government grant. The routing number used by the scammers is 12408524, and their supposed account number is 13419. The deposit shows up briefly in the consumer's checking account, only later to be found to have been drawn against an invalid account, he said. Texts, emails, door-todoor sales, websites and word of mouth from friends and family are all involved. involved, The most effective part of this scam is that friends and family members are partici­ pating. They send checks to pay off their other bills, believing they really have the money in their account 9554 for Call 269 Sun & News classified ads from the deposit the crooks are making, explained Cattlet. “They share this wonder­ ful news of the government money with family and friends, and when they dis­ cover the money is really not there, they have already writ­ ten a bunch of non-sufficient checks to pay off other bills,” he said. To avoid falling into this trap, Cattlet said: • Never provide Social Security information, credit card numbers or banking information to anyone requesting it over the phone or at home unless the identi­ ty of the party seeking the information has been veri- fied. • For calls claiming to be people from the utility com­ pany or the government who pressure for immediate per­ sonal information, hang up the phone and call the cus­ tomer service number on the respective utility bill. • Always think safety first. Do not give in to high-pres­ sure tactics and don't let any­ one in the home without checking their identity. • Don’t let the immediate pressure of debt prevent thinking through a situation, Sources of information are available to give the straight story, such as the BBB.

When defense attor­ ney James Goulooze put Assistant Prosecutor Larry Lewis on his witness list, the prosecutor’s office requested a special prosecutor as required by law. Grantham, along with his wife and son. was accused of attacking a Barry County Sheriff's Deputy in their Middleville home Sept. II, 2011. The deputy was at the Grantham residence to serve a warrant on James Grantham Jr. Grantham's wife and son agreed to plea bargains from the prosecutor's office and were sentenced March 23 by Judge Amy McDowell. At that time, even though he was offered a plea deal, Grantham Sr. and Goulooze decided to reject the deal and go to trial instead. The elder Grantham's pre­ trial date with the special prosecutor is set for July 25, with a tentative trial date of Sept. 10. nU I Underground tank found; liv village must remove ,V. iq A no inaf * flivno w mad oi aaliiV /an g/jvz how ei JioTivnH noo gni mo ad J io )nam q a<n by Julie Makarewicz Staff Writer A previously undetected underground fuel storage tank on village-owned prop­ erty in Middleville will have to be removed. Village Manager Rebecca Fleury told council members she's not sure why the tank was never detected, and she is working with Horizon Environmental, the consulting company that provided the environmental assess­ ment of the site. The property is the former Spencer Towing site located near the intersection of Larkin and Main streets. Duane Weeks, department of public works superintendent, said workers discovered a pipe and the tank, which he believes is nearly full. Three underground tanks were removed from the site when the former building was demolished. At that time, the village hired Horizon Environmental to conduct an environmental assessment of the property. Now village officials say they aren't sure why _ the tank was never detected. Fleury said the tank needs to be drained and removed, Soils around the tank need to be tested tor contamination and then dealt with accord­ ingly. It is estimated to cost about $3,000 to drain and remove the tank. Additional soil cleanup work, if needed, will be an added expense, “It has to be dealt with. We can't leave it. We're try­ ing to work with the environmental company and see what can be done," said Fleury*. DDA ** decides on project by Fran Faverman Staff Writer A sign at the entrance to the village of Middleville will be the Downtown Development Authority's major project for the year following discussion and planning at the group's meet­ ing on Tuesday. Of the two bids received, the low bid of $21,775, sub­ mitted by an’D Signs of Hastings, was approved. The village is waiting for bids on landscaping, irrigation, elec­ trical work, and tree removal from Harder-Warner Landscaping, Caledonia, and Rustic Touch, Freeport. Total project cost is expected to be approximately $31,000. The project will be located at the southeast comer of M-37 and Main Street. Declining revenues are having an impact on what the DDA can do. Village manager Rebecca Fleury said that the 2011 audit showed revenues of $118.000. but that the amount to be received in 2012 will be less, probably closer to $114,000. There are fixed costs associated with activities plus a contribution to the village as part of the financing package for the Crane Road project. Fleury also reported that the village had received a letter from the Barn County Treasurer stating that property located at 208 Arlington was available for the $12,500 owed in back taxes. The vil­ lage council would like to split the cost of acquiring the property with the DDA. Board member Charles Pullen asked if the property were sold, would the money come to the DDA and Fleury responded that it would but there are restrictions on how the property could be sold. Jerry Welch, chair of the site selection committee for the Veterans Memorial, said that his group had achieved tax-exempt status and was interested in participating in the redevelopment project along the Thomapple River. He said his group would like about 1,300 square feet for the memorial and ADA comcom­ pliant walkways. He said the group has not made a final decision on a plan but that it could be either rectangular or circular. The group expects to start raising funds. Fleury said the group will apply for a grant in March 2013. The amount needed to fund the project and provide for its maintenance is estimated at $100,000. According to her, one of the benefits of the memorial would be its value as a match for other grants. Also appearing to share his plans with the authority was Jeff Bohms, who is preparing to close on 108 Arlington. Bohms plans to renovate the building and use it as the office for his insur­ ance business. An adjacent lot is owned by the village and Bohms would like to purchase part of the lot to provide additional parkin spaces. A garage currently on that site would be removed.

The club is made up of 4Hers from all over and meets regularly in Middleville. Specially marked recy­ cling containers, available from the Kent County Department of Public Works, collected aluminum and plastics. Each morning a team of 4­ H volunteers headed out to collect the recyclables, and provide new bags for the day. Cade Bowman loaded his pickup truck with extra bins to set out early in the week while other 4-H club mem­ bers mapped out their loca­ tions. “Service projects for the community is one of the things that is a key compo­ nent of 4-H,” said club co­ leader Diane Hoskins. “We pledge our hands to larger service, and community service is an important piece of being in 4-H. We want our kids to make their com­ munity a better place,” The theme of this year’s fair is “Lending a Hand to Save our Land” and the recycling project fit perfectly. Club members say they hope it’s something that will continue for years to come. “A lot of people really don’t know about this part of 4-H, but it’s probably the most important part of being in 4-H,” said Hoskins. Club members said it’s just another part of being in 4-H and it’s just another list of responsibilities during fair week. The club hopes to be able to encourage people to recycle not only at the fair, but in their daily lives as well. Be "SENSIBLE" about your water!

Jurczykowski first raised the issue of the lack of buoys — and the safety issues she feels are caused by the absence of buoys — at the board's June meeting. The board had approved an expenditure of up to $6,000 for the purchase of the buoys. Supervisor Al McCrumb commented that the town­ ship had an ordinance on the books for the buoys, but that chains and anchors were also needed. Robert Lippert, zoning administrator, who had compiled the 2006 report recommending the installation of the buoys on specified lakes, said the DNR permitting process required documentation, Buoy permits are issued for specific locations. Riparian rights are also involved when installing a buoy at a specific location if it involves anchoring it to the bottom land. Permission is needed from the landown­ er. When a landowner does not or refuses to grant per­ mission, an alternative site needs to be secured, accord­ ing to Lippert. “One third of the sum­ mer is gone,” pointed out Trustee Mary Cook, who wanted to know where the township was in the process. Trustee Al Schwennesen stated that buoy placement in some locations requires a reading on the depth of the water and the need for bal­ last in buoys in shallow water. McCrumb directed Lippert to get prices on chains and anchors. A brief discussion ensued over the likelihood of the buoys being available at the same price as in 2006. Cook moved to add $2,000 to the amount for the buoys and related equipment, thus authorizing up to $8,000 for the purchases. The motion was approved unanimously. Tom Wallace said if the DNR owned the land, get­ ting the permit should be easy. Cathy Strickland, a member of the planning commission, said she did not understand why public safety did not override property rights. ft & & JI? ■■■ ft 0 ■■ ' 1^ % I Letter of support brings debate among council by Julie Makarewicz Staff Writer A letter supporting Middleville Village Manager Rebecca Fleury has caused debate amongst village council members. Fleury recently received the letter from a resident who said she wanted the letter put in Fleury's personnel file. The writer supported Fleury and said she was disappointed by a recent evaluation that contained critical remarks from some council members. “Rebecca was kind, under­ standing and made time to listen to my concerns,” said Meagan Fisch in her letter to the council. “I was able to sit down with her and get all the information 1 needed to understand the Crane Road project.” Fisch said in her letter she was disappointed with concems shared during Fleury’s evaluation and wanted her letter of of support support to to become become letter part of Fleury’s official personnel file just as the village evaluation is is part part of of the the evaluation record. Council members said, while they appreciate the letter, they don’t think it’s appropriate for them to take action and file the letter in the personnel file. Council member Joyce Lutz said if the council puts this letter in the file, they’ll have to also put any other correspondence in files — both positive and negative. Council member Sue Reyff said she wasn't opposed to the letter being in the file, but said it needs an addendum because it is inac­ curate. The letter states that Fleury helped Fisch pass the no-jake-brake ordinance, Reyff said only the council can pass ordinances and that Fisch did not pass the ordinance, “She may have helped bring it to our attention, but she did not pass it,” said Reyff. Other council members suggested Fleury keep a copy of the letter for her own records. Council member Ed Schellinger said whether the letters are included in the file or not, it’s nice to receive letters of appreciation for village staff. !< ■|il jj Itfi a ju® $ r5 SALES • SERVICE • RENTALS RESIDENTIAL • COMMERCIAL • INDUSTRIAL SERVICING ALL MAKES AND MODELS Save a Life Tour making X? •i Bottled water at your tap with a water purification L. system from Maynards, •, •’ l at • Clear 1 • Fresh ' t stop at Kent County Fair •t*' ♦ % J -».i > r • Healthy •*&! « ■ V; 1 I - r i • Safe * Without the contaminants found in *.■ ordinary tap water! « Stop in for your free •» water test!

The nearly two-year scrap over how animal control and shelter issues should be han­ dled came closer to resolu­ tion with the presentation by Commission Chair Craig Stolsonburg of a plan to sep­ arate animal control enforce­ ment and animal shelter functions. Enforcement under the proposed plan would remain with the sheriffs department and one full-time animal control officer as well as an existing full-time clerical position. Shelter functions such as spaying, neutering, adoption, and euthanasia would be under the supervi­ sion of a new, full-time ani­ mal shelter director who would report to County Administrator Michael Michael Brown. The new position would be funded, in part, by an existing animal control officer position which has been vacated and not replaced. Stolsonburg also present- ed a job description for the new animal shelter director position which, on the commission's vote, is to be forwarded to Mark Nottley of Municipal Consulting Services, LLC, for a review of job classification place­ ment and recommended salary, Tuesday’s bark, however, came when the commission was presented with an offer from the Barry County Humane Society to donate $18,000 as a show of support for the proposed animal shelter operation. Attached to the offer, as presented by Humane Society Director Mary Fisher, were several conditions including input on the hiring of the new director, independence from the Animal Control Advisory Board, an onsite office for volunteers, and a commission commitment to return the operation to its original name, the Barry County Animal Shelter. “We want a seat at the table," said Fisher, remind­ ing commissioners that, after the humane society gave $30,000 to help build a new animal shelter with no requests, attached 12 year ago, a new sheriff administration changed its position on the use of volunteers. “Now here we are, 12 years later, trying to get a place we haven't down there been welcome down there. that’s when the (humane Why didn’t you request it society offer) ought to be when you gave the $30,000, done.

Sparked off by a presenta­ tion at the June board meet­ ing by Marvin Helder, who said he had signed leases to permit fracking on property he owns and who argued for the safety and economic ben­ efits of the process, residents Paul Heystek and Frank Fiala arranged to examine an operation in Kalkaska accompanied by DNR geologist Rick Henderson. Henderson is the DNR offi­ cer who oversees oil and gas operations for the department. Heystek began the presentation by saying that Henderson and his family have a long history with Kalkaska Township. He said he and Fiala had arranged the trip to see for themselves what an actual operation looked like. According to him the 4.5-acre site was well kept, did not have any offensive odors, and the brackish water and chemical mixture was taken to statelicensed sites. The oil released was stored in tanks with arrangements for cap­ turing spills. He said that from the point of view of concern about contamination, the site was well kept. Noting that possi­ ble contamination of aquifers had been raised by opposi- ' d1 * $ ■ I I If j S I MS p » •» HIMEIHtf I '-XHSC1B \b I R • 'V (ffl M tion groups, he said the aquifer is checked regularly. Heystek closed his remarks saying that people's comfort level is all over the map. He noted that an anti-fracking amendment will not be on the ballot. Fiala said he had talked to a forestry supervisor who had assured him there is no drilling on state lands and recreational areas; no drilling rigs can be put on state lands, The state also has monitoring provisions for gas captured from horizontal drilling, Heystek closed the presen­ tation quoting Henderson: The best thing a township can do is watch.” Yankee Springs Township Supervisor Al McCrumb said he thinks the “state is on top of it.” Treasurer John Jerkatis wondered why companies would buy up leases if they could not drill on the properties. He was told that holding a lease would allow them to drill into the state property from adjacent private property to capture the gas and oil. Heystek added that drilling cannot occur in residential areas and the county checks information permitting weekly, In other business, Pat Kreple, president of the of General Federation Women’s Clubs, Gun Lake Area Chapter, presented a request for a memorial gar­ den for members of the club in the Yankee Springs Township Park. Getting a park in the township was a project adopted by the club several years ago.

The investment world can be complex — so you may not want to navigate it alone. But when it comes to getting pro­ fessional advice, you certain­ ly have an abundance of choices. How can you know which approach is right for you? The answer depends, to a large extent, on how you choose to work with a quali­ fied financial advisor — someone with the training and experience to help you work toward your financial goals. When you work with a financial advisor, he or she will analyze your financial situation — your income. current assets; family ™ and short- and long-term investment goals, such as helping pay for your chil­ dren’s (or grandchildren’s) college education and attain­ ing a comfortable retirement. You can choose different ways of working with a financial advisor — and a deciding factor may be how “hands on” you want to be with your investment strate­ gy. To illustrate this concept, let's look at two common ways investors interact with financial advisors: • Taking recommenda­ tions and making choices _ After evaluating your — financial situation, goals, risk tolerance and time hori­ zon, your financial advisor can recommend appropriate investments. Over time, your financial advisor will com­ municate with you regularly to keep track of changes in your life and to suggest any changes you may need to make in your portfolio. Of course, you have the final say in accepting or rejecting recommendations, these which is why this method is considered a hands-on way to invest. • Investing through a managed account — In this situation, your financial advisor will help you create, implement and refine your long-term financial strategy, but the money managers will make the daily investment decisions, relying on a variety of criteria pertaining to your situation. For example, if your portfolio has become overweighted in a specific asset class, such as stocks or bonds, and is no longer aligned with your goals, it may automatically be brought back into balance. So which method of investing is better for you? There’s really no one right answer for everyone. If you're the sort of person who likes to make all your own decisions, then you might be better off following the hands-on approach with your financial advisor. On the other hand, if you are particularly busy and just don't feel you have the time to be actively involved with dayto-day investment decisions, you might want to consider a .1 Help us support veterans and community functions.

In any case, you'll want to be comfortable with the method of investing that you’ve chosen. So do your homework beforehand. Whether you’re interested in a hands-on relationship or a hands-off approach, you still need to interview several financial advisors to find one who has worked with people in your situation and who seems genuinely interested in helping you. During these interviews, make sure you understand everything relat­ ed to working with a financial advisor — the fees involved, the way decisions will be communicated to you if you choose a managed account, and so on. Deciding how you want to invest is your first step in working toward your financial goals — so make the choice that's right for you.

The scam is providing thieves access to consumer confidential information, he said, and leading consumers to use non-existent funds in their accounts to pay other bills. The fraud puts con­ sumers at risk of identity theft, utility shutoffs, fees for non-sufficient checks, and more, said Cattlet. Consumers are being asked for their Social Security numbers and bank routing information by the criminals, and in return are receiving their supposed government grant. The rout­ ing number used by the scammers is 12408524, and their supposed account num­ ber is 13419. The deposit shows up briefly in the con­ sumer’s checking account, only later to be found to have been drawn against an invalid account, he said. Texts, emails, door-todoor sales, websites and word of mouth from friends and family are all involved, The most effective part of this scam is that friends and family members are partici­ pating. They send checks to pay off their other bills, believing they really have the money in their account from the deposit the crooks are making, explained Cattlet. “They share this wonder­ ful news of the government money with family and friends, and when they dis­ cover the money is really not there, they have already writ­ ten a bunch of non-sufficient checks to pay off other bills,” he said. To avoid falling into this trap, Cattlet said: • Never provide Social Security information, credit card numbers or banking anyone information to anvone CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF CALEDONIA BOARD OF TRUSTEES Meeting Minutes The minutes for the June 20th, 2012 Township Board of Trustees Meeting and the June 27th, 2012 Special Township Board of Trustees Meeting which were approved on July 18th, 2012, are posted at the Township Offices at 8196 Broadmoor Ave, and on the web­ site at www.caledoniatownship.org• 06786952 8196 BROADMOOR AVE.

Vlietstra, Thornapple Township Clerk x �The Sun and News, Saturday, July 21,2012/ Page 11 Beware of text message scammers posing as court officials LANSING - A text message appears on your phone, claiming to be from a local court and telling you that a warrant has been issued for your arrest. But the so-called I Chad C. Schmucker said variations of the scam have been reported in other states. He cautioned Michigan resi­ dents to be on guard. “Here’s how it works: the victim receives a text mes­ sage, stating that he or she is on a ‘failure to appear' list and has an outstanding war­ rant,” Schmucker explained. “The text then instructs the victim to call a phone num­ ber to pay up to avoid being arrested. To make the demand seem plausible, the scammer often uses the name of an actual local court or court official.” But Michigan courts don’t use text messaging to advise someone that he or she is subject to arrest, Schmucker said. “It’s a fraud, an attempt to deceive the victim,” he said. “Don’t call the number in the text message, but report the text to the police and to the court the text mes­ sage sender claims to repre­ sent. In addition to the fraud, it’s a crime for anyone to falsely pose as a court offi­ cial.” A similar phone scam involves threatening victims with arrest unless they give up personal information, such as birth dates, credit card numbers, and Social Security numbers. Typically, the caller poses as a court official and tells the intended victim that he or she will be arrested for missing jury duty. “Prospective jurors can call courts, but courts don’t initiate these calls; they com­ municate with prospective jurors by mail,” Schmucker said. “And courts do not call prospective jurors to get their financial information.” To avoid becoming a vic­ tim of these scams, remem­ ber the following: • Be suspicious if a person calls, e-mails, or texts you claiming to be a court offi­ cial. “court” offers you a way out: you can quash the warrant by calling the number provided and paying $500 by credit card.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services developed the Five-Star Quality Rating System to help consumers, their fami­ lies and caregivers compare nursing homes more easily and help identify areas peo­ ple may question. Medicare uses the assess­ ment information to measure the quality of certain aspects of nursing home care, such as whether residents have received their flu shots, are in pain or are losing weight. These measures of care are called quality measures. Medicare posts each nurs­ ing home's scores for these quality measures on their nursing home comparison website, www.medicare.gov. The scores can be used to evaluate how nursing homes may differ from one another. The three areas of meas­ urement are calculated from health inspection results, staffing data and quality measure data. The informa­ tion provides a snapshot of the care delivered in nursing homes. “I cannot tell you how proud I am to work here with each of you and how proud I will be to share this accom­ plishment with our commu­ nity,” said Administrator Don Haney when speaking to the Thornapple Manor staff. “Each of you has played a vital role, bringing our quality measure rating above the national average, therefore lifting us to the five-star status.

Do they understand and appreciate the complexity of the issues fac­ ing village or township boards? Do they recognize that these boards are legisla­ tive and executive bodies? What were the implications of voting at the last local election? Local elections are more important than national ones. Decisions made by the three branches of national govern­ ment in Washington, D.C., are all over the news, but decisions or bills that pass there won’t have an immedi­ ate effect on people’s lives. Locally elected officials make huge decisions that can affect residents directly and immediately and are often undervalued.

So later, as I read about the concern with the parking parking lot lot west west of of Faro Faro’’ss being owned by the village and the village not wanting people to to use use itit when when they they go go people to to Faro Faro’’ss for for dinner, dinner, itit made made me wonder about the other parking lots in town that are w IH Horse w’e The Davenport University Women's Basketball team was honored by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) for its work in the classroom in 2011-12.

Yet many people don t realize what their belief in democracy means. The precise reason we we have have aa democracy democracy isis because it gives every citizen way to to be be heard heard in in our our socisociaa way ety. If we hold these beliefs and make these claims about the power of democracy but do not participate in our own democratic government, then we are a nation of hypocrites, fighting for free elections all over the world and then not participating in our own back home.

Generally, local board meetings are sparsely attended, and changes in rules hap­ pen quietly and go unnoticed until officials decide to enforce them. Thishappens because there areno checks and balances at the local level because the board is a combination of the legislative and executive functions with no immediate judicial oversight. Some individuals say their votes don’t matter. While this may be true on a national level, a small number of local elections are decided by one vote. But one reason for vot vot-­ ing goes above and beyond the one-vote victory. The reason is not the candidates, the issues or the fact that a single vote may make a difference. The real reason is that voting is what defines us as a democracy, Most of the citizens of the Davenport Women’s Basketball among nation’s elite in academics 1 Mi nationally highlighted by a No. 1 finish in 2005-06. A team's team’s GPA is calculatcalculat­ ed by dividing the total number of quality points earned by the total number of hours attempted by all team mem­ bers in the academic terms that the season spans.

Are the parking lots in the village not for use by the village resi­ dents or visitors? What if the village posted a two-hour parking-only sign? This would keep it from being used by the apartment residents, since they could then be ticketed. Another issue of concern for me is the ‘keep out’ sign at the cemetery on Leonard Street. When we go to visit our parents’ gravesites, here is this ‘keep out’ sign. Does this mean we should not be going there? I just don’t think it looks very good. Maybe the sign should read ‘No motorized vehicles beyond this point.’ That would seem more appropriate than keep out. Does the council want people to feel welcome in the village, or not?

He discussed his theory of the thieves using an area Dumpster to transport the stolen equipment from one house to the other.

Divorce not final; man gets black eye A man went to the Barry County Sheriff’s Department to report an assault situation July 9. The man, who had a bruise around his left eye, told deputies he was at a Torsten Drive residence in Shelbyville with a woman and had a few drinks. Her estranged husband arrived and was angry, he said. The man told deputies the 46year-old husband punched him five times before he start­ ed punching back and then put him in a headlock.

Council Faro's members said if the lot is going to be used publicly, then it should be improved. Discussion also focused on the lot benefiting the adjacent business and whether or not it should be sold or leased to the business and adjacent residents who regularly use the lot. Council members dis­ cussed the possibility of sell­ ing or leasing the lot for pri­ vate use.

Klinge is the former owner of Bob’s Engine Hospital at 307 Arlington. Village council members have expressed interest in purchasing the property from the county through a tax fore­ closure sale. The village is able to purchase the property for the amount of back taxes owed and can do so before the site goes to public auction. But Klinge told council members they had better take a step back. “This shall serve as fair and constructive notice and caveat to each of you of the following conditions related to the subject property,” Klinge wrote in his letter. He said the land is protect­ ed by a federal land grant and that there is a common-law lien of $1.25 million on the property. He also claims a judgment entered Feb. 6 is null and void and is currently under review by the Michigan Court of Appeals. “Each one of you will be held jointly and severally liable in your private capaci­ ties for restitution and any and all damages related to your purchase. All those involved may be subject to federal, criminal charges Z Village Manager Rebecca Fleury said the property situation has been thoroughly Barry by investigated County officials and attor­ neys. She said the county is prepared to sell the property. Council members dis­ cussed purchasing the prop­ erty and then possibly reselling it to the adjacent neighbor, Chemical Bank, for expanded drive-through W ^053 by Julie Makarewicz Staff Writer The village cash flow is improving and helping move the village away from a deficit position, according to village manager Rebecca Fleury who gave a second budget quarter report Tuesday to village council members. Fleury told council mem­ bers that it's important to continue to maintain tight fiscal controls including monitoring spending regular­ ly, reviewing monthly budg­ et reports, and continuing to be financially responsible. Fleury said she’s work­ ing hard to maintain a 14 per­ cent fund balance for the general fund in the amount of $140,0000 and work toward a 14 percent fund balCT' ance for all funds in the amount of $423,000 over the next three years. Fleury also told the coun­ cil members that total expen­ ditures for the second quarter are are down down by by more than $200,000 compared to the same time a year ago. “Overall we are spending at an adequate rate for our adopted budget, with 36 per­ cent spent at the end of the second quarter for all funds, she said in her report. In other business: • Fleury told council members the outdoor warn­ ing system should be installed before the end of the month. There is still some discussion and debate about the best placement for that system. • Staff is working on a vil- lage hall sound system with Mike Endsley. The lowest bid received from outside vendors was nearly $10,000. Endsley believes through a Internet pricing, O’ the system can be achieved for about $3,000. He will provide the installation, in cooperation with department of public works employees, at now cost to the village. • Bruce Visser reportedly agreed to pay half the cost of the installation of a street light at the intersection of M­ 37 and Town Center Drive. Half of the cost is $575. • Bids are going out for the Cardinal Court water main project with anticipa­ tion that the work can begin in September. The project is funded through bond pro­ ceeds. banking services or keeping the land for village use as a gatewaytothecommunity.lt could be a location for a vet­ erans memorial or other unique feature for the com­ munity. Back taxes and fees due on the property are $12,207. Council members did not comment on Klinge's letter, but received copies of it for their records.

Staff Writer The most recent meeting of the Caledonia Township Board of Trustees on July 18 featured a brief discussion of the sign ordinance and possi­ ble changes to the way utility charges are computed. Supervisor Bryan Harrison and Treasurer Richard Robertson led the discussions. Harrison noted that there was a first reading of an amendment to the sign ordinance, Chapter 19, of the township's zoning ordinance. Work on revising the ordi­ nance has been going on for two years and a draft submit­ ted by the iPlanning Commission was not adopt­ ed. Instead, a special board committee to work on the ordinance was created. Following a meeting on June 27 which was attended by Harrison, Robertson, Archie Warner, chair of the Planning Commission, Ed Rusticus, township zoning administrators, and stake­ holders, it became clear there was significant disagreement about what was acceptable to some members of the busi­ ness community and to the board. Normally, as Harrison explained, a first reading of an amendment is usually a formality which is why it is often listed in a consent agenda. Robertson said there were areas of agreement, enough so that the committee felt three sections of the ordi­ nance could be put to the full board for a vote. The first section, 19-1, adds definitions of a digital billboard, digital sign, and electronic message board. The second section, 19-4, requires a permit for altering a sign by electrification, AUGUST SPECIAL / Harrison reported on some issues he has dis­ covered as he has cam­ paigned door-to-door. Among the concerns expressed to him are public safety at the Cowpie Music Festival. He observed that perhaps more advance planning between the sponsors and the township was needed. A quality of life issue was expressed by some who would like an earlier shut-down time. changing or augmenting structural components, and altering or augmenting its illumination. The third section, 19-15, deals with nonconforming signs and billboards. Normal and usual maintenance, a reduction in the size of the display area without chang­ ing to a moveable, digital surface, the replacement of landscaping below base of the sign, and the changing of the sign face without digital­ ization shall be permitted according to the ordinance. Lastly, the planning com­ mission may approve a spe­ cial exception use for nonconforming billboards pro­ vided that a static display face is not changed to an electronic message board or to a digital, electronic, or tri­ vision display face. Robertson opened the dis­ cussion of the utility issues saying that so far the town­ ship's public water supply had been able to cope with the demands placed upon it by the heat and the lack of rainfall. Turning to the sewer system he commented that waY rates are computed will have to be changed. He observed some sewer cus­ tomers do not have public water, therefore a system that computes sewer charges as a percentage of water usage will not work. For those who have both water and sewer, such a system is feasible. However, for those who have only sewer utility, a system for metering sewage will have to be worked out. The changes will be nec­ essary to accommodate the cost of having wastewater diverted to the Grand Rapids system. Currently, all rev­ enues in the Northwest Sewer Authority are pledged to pay for the bonds for the system. Additional revenues have to be found, Robertson stated. Harrison reported on some issues he has discovered as he has campaigned door-todoor. Among the concerns expressed to him are public safety at the Cowpie Music Festival. He observed that perhaps more advance plan­ ning between the sponsors and the township was need­ ed. A quality of life issue was expressed by some who would like an earlier shut­ down time. Other concerns encoun­ tered by him were the absence of fencing around some retention ponds and what standards are used to determine whether or not a pond was fenced as well as fireworks and their role in causing fires. The Aug. 1 meeting of the board has been cancelled. The next regularly scheduled meeting of the board will be on Wednesday, Aug. 15, at 7 p.m. in the township hall, 8196 Broadmoor Avenue.

Is it a conforming use in C-l? I don't think it fits. "The fence in the front yard of the property ...limits height to four feet when abutting residential property. It knocks thousands of prop­ erty values." Sherlund suggested a spe­ cial use permit rather than a rezoning would be a better fit for the property and the neighborhood. He also said he had approached Buer about buying a 30-foot wide strip, which would allow him to expand his garage and would put his property line at the edge of the current park­ ing lot. Sherlund reiterated that in his view, C-l zoning was simply not appropriate. Sharon Hass, a resident on Emmons Street, said she did not want a bar or a restaurant across the street from her residence and opposed1 the ----1 rezoning. She also cited noise on access issues while noting that Buer was a wonderful neighbor. She liked his plans for fencing the property but does not think six feet is high enough. Hass suggested nine feet and said she would support a special use permit. Jerry Barnaby, a resident on Emmons Street, suggest­ ed using the property as part ofroute route from from the the historic historic vilvilof lage to the Village of Caledonia Centre mall. He was disturbed that the village, township, and commu­ nity had not gathered to decide what to do with the property. He felt that it also could become a park-like area with benches and a place for people to gather, Baraby Baraby also also had had concerns concerns about about the the building, building, saying saying that it had to come down and the site site should should be be turned turned into into the a green area to benefit the community, "There was no opportunity where the community could come together,” Barnaby stated. “We need to preserve the community and build up the residential area." Erskine, the village trustee, rejoined the discus­ sion observing that various proposals for using the former library site had been suggested including a restaurant and conversion to green space. Enlarging upon the theme of green space and historic uses, Erskine observed that none of them had come with money for development and mainte­ nance and then returned to the rezoning issue. "I don’t know if it would knock down residential values, I think six foreclosed houses on Emmons do more damage,” Erskine maintained.1 " The building is not going to be occupied— the department, health department." Mark Van Allsburg, village attorney, reminded the commission that the question before it was to rezone the property or to consider a spe­ cial use permit. He noted that a variance is an entirely dif­ ferent issue and is not a possibility at the current stage of the process. Responding to a comment from an unidentified audi­ ence member, he defined conditional zoning as a nego­ tiated agreement but stressed that it must be asked for by the applicant, it cannot be used by the municipality. It is also the only form of zon­ ing to which conditions may be attached. The process can take longer and be more costly than a regular rezoning. The costs would be paid by the applicant. "The only question before you is should the property be rezoned from R-3 residential to C-l?" VanAllsburg coneluded. Buer said he appreciated the comments and feedback because he said his family has lived in Caledonia and has ties to the community. "Caledonia Caledonia has never been neat and tidy," he observed. Expressions of support for Buer followed along with comments suggesting there is no need for more green space supported by taxpayers. Commissioners began their evaluation using a guide prepared by planner Mark Sisson. Commissioner Danise Regan said Buer's willingness to preserve the stained glass windows was important and commission­ ers Swift and Cody Ruple both had concerns about the kind of business that could ultimately occupy the site with commercial zoning. Commissioner Gayle Ott, who had expressed an inter­ est in conditional zoning, said she did not know how to solve the problem of future use.

Robertson moved to recom­ mend to the Village Council approval of the rezoning. Ott supported the motion and it was approved 5-1. The recommendation to approve the rezoning will now go to the Village of Caledonia Council for action. Van Allsburg suggested to the commission that it might want to consider what alter­ natives would be available to it assuming the council approves the rezoning. The ordinance could be amended to allow a well services company as a permitted use or the commission could take advantage of a clause allow­ ing other or similar uses to cover a well services compa­ ny. Consideration of a spe­ cial use permit would require a public hearing and would combine a site review plan with the application for the permit.

Council member Joyce Lutz Tuesday questioned the automobile sales taking place at the Tires 2000 loca­ tion. She said adjacent prop­ erty has been purchased and is now being used as a used car lot, but that the owner hasn’t been required to meet standards established by the village and applied to other business owners. A report from Catherine Getty, zoning administrator, who was on vacation and not at the meeting Tuesday, stat­ ed that she had met with the ments including sidewalks and that the site must come in for site plan review and improvements as approved by the planning commission. “Nothing in the law allows staff to change an ordinance by making an agreement with the property owner,” said Lutz. Lutz said she’s witnessed the vehicles parked on the newly-acquired adjacent lot and she believes that requires . additional upgrades by the property owner. “I don’t see how you can make one business do every­ thing and the next person doesn’t have to do it. We have to be fair to everyone,” she said. Fleury said staff will con­ tinue working with the prop­ erty owner to make certain he is in compliance. Workday planned Aug. 5 near Deep Lake campground Michigan Department of Natural Resources officials have scheduled volunteer stewardship workdays for the month of August in parks and recreation areas through­ out its southwestern district. Sunday, Aug. 5, volun­ teers at Yankee Springs Recreation Area will work from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. to honeysuckle, remove autumn olive and other inva­ sive shrubs from the forest near the Deep Lake camp­ ground. “It's a great way to add an outdoor learning opportunity to your recreation experience at the park,” said Heidi Frei, natural resources steward for Southwest Michigan, Volunteers will learn to identify these plants and properly remove them from natural areas. No experience is necessary. Training and equipment are provided. Volunteers should meet at the mountain bike staging area off of Yankee Springs Road, Volunteers should wear appropriate clothing for out­ door work, including long pants and sturdy, closed-toe shoes, she said, and should bring gloves and drinking water. For details about this and other workdays and to obtain maps and directions, visit the DNR website at www.michigan.gov/dnrvolunteers and link to the Calendar of Volunteer Stewardship Workdays.

That was a cooperative effort between Caledonia schools and the township, which has given our community quality recreational field space. And then there’s Fanners Insurance, which recently decided to bring 1,400 new jobs to our town at a time when the rest of the state was losing jobs. Clearly, Bryan is working for our community. Vote Harrison Aug. 7. Melissa Ayotte, Alto I just read the article in the Sun and News about the Yankee Springs board meet­ ing. Again I can’t believe how people are so sure frack ing is alright. I keep thinking the risk to do this procedure is too high. What do we do after our water is contami­ nated? I have this horrible feeling that it is a little late. This process has to be stopped before it is started.

MANSKY Presenting ... THE PODIATRIST IS OPENING A NEW OFFICE IN CALEDONIA This letter is in response to the report last week in the Sun and News entitled, "Fracking is major topic at Yankee Springs board meet­ ing" which stated that two community members went to an actual oil/gas drilling site in Kalkaska, arranged by a long time DEQ friend. I have also visited a drilling site, the Irish Hills area, in Jackson and Lenawee counties, with a resident there. It is a water­ rich community like Yankee Springs, promoting itself as 52 lakes in 15 minutes, where they now have 45 pro­ ducing oil/gas wells (in two years) and about 40 more projected. The current count isis seven seven industrial industrial tank tank farms farms operating storage facilities, transportation ports for 24/7 brine (fracking fluid, concon­ taining water and a mix of toxic chemicals), oil, sand, and gravel trucks, evacuation equipment, welding compa­ ny trucks, frackin; fluid trucks, separation boilers, hydrocarbon gas flaring and radioactive brine waste injection wells, in areas where people live. I would call that residential. The resident from Irish Hills took us to many sites (we were on the roads for about 4 hours), some they had visited in the past, but are now blocked and monitored with security cameras and no one is allowed in. I have photos of flaring going on and the huge operation of an industrial tank farm.The Irish Hills residents were assured by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality in May 2010 at a town hall meeting that radioactive waste would not be disposed of in the Irish Hills...but fracking fluid is now being injected back into the earth Need wedding invitations? 9385 Cherry Valley Ave. SE Caledonia w 616-891-2577 Board Certified in Foot Surgery by the American Board of Podiatric Surgery Dr. David W. Mansky Stop by and check out in their area, which includes radioactive waste. That area is also located on the highest concentration belt of radon gas in Michigan, which puts workers (that probably was­ n't mentioned in the employ­ ment interview) and others in the area at a higher potential risk for lung cancer, accord­ ing to the EPA, which is on top of the risks of radioactive waste, hydrogen sulfide, and other toxic chemicals. The brackish waste water (frack­ ing fluid contaminated with toxic chemicals) might be put into state-licensed sites as reported at the Yankee Springs meeting...is that a reason to believe this is safe? At a recent meeting in Hopkins, the DEQ represen­ tative reported that the frack­ ing fluid would be placed in landfills. Also, two local res­ idents told abouttheir recent visit toGladwin County where they witnessed trucks going from the drilling site, then releasing fluid on the roads. According to the DEQ this is not illegal to spray the contaminated fracking fluid on community roads where residents live. They also wit­ nessed a clear cutting of about 10 acres of the Gladwin State Forest land and a drill rig being con­ structed on this state land.

You really need to look at a lot of years together to really get a comparison look.” That look quickly became a sobering one for commis­ sioners, given that current and projected needed road repairs through 2013 will exceed the road commission budget by more than $10 million. County paved roads have fallen on the standard 10-point Pavement Surface Evaluation and Rating system from a 7.4 average to a current 6.3. Both numbers fall within the system’s Fair category [5 to 7]. “We are sinking,” said Lamberg, “we just haven’t capsized like many else have in the state.” The concern, Lamberg told commissioners, is that costs for road materials have soared because they are primarily crude-oil based and that state leadership is reluc­ tant to raise the gas tax. The $10 million shortfall projected for 2013 between road repairs that are needed and the fundin funding to make them was exactly half the amount only seven years ago, he said. The gas tax has increased only four cents in the past 20 years, “We’re trying to educate the public and the legislators on the high cost of infra­ maintained structure,” “We’re trying to edu­ cate the public and the legislators on the high cost of infrastructure. We’ve heard politicians say ‘We have to wait for better times’ for the past five to six years. We were behind by $2.5 million at that time. Now we’re $10 million behind." Brad Lamberg, Barry County Road Commission Lamberg. “We’ve heard politicians say ‘We have to wait for better times’ for the past five to six years. We were behind by $2.5 million at that time. Now we’re $10 million behind.” Lamberg called the atten­ tion of commissioners to the annual report which showed that the current state gas tax is 19 cents per gallon and, assuming motorists average 19 driving miles per gallon, the gas tax provides one cent per mile of Michigan road use. A citizen who drives 30,000 miles per year and gets 19 miles per gallon would pay, Lamberg pointed out, $300 annually in state gas tax for the use of Michigan roads. “Compare that to what people pay for garbage serv­ ice or satellite dish televi­ sion,” suggested Lamberg, “and you find that what they pay to use our roads is small — and this is a service that is available 24/7, 365 days per year.” Lamberg’s most direct words came as part of his closing annual report com- meats. “The dirty little secret that our legislators choose to completely disregard is that - L\ 8436 Kraft Ave., Caledonia, MI 49316 616-891-8688 Enrolling Now!

Moody scored his first Engine Pro Super Stock victory of the season at Berlin Raceway in Marne Saturday. (Photo by Brett Bremer) by Brett Bremer Sports Editor Seth Moody, an 18-yearold from Middleville who graduated from Caledonia High School in 2011, has taken the checkered flag twice in the Engine Pro Super Stock division at Berlin Raceway in Marne this season. Moody's #48 car failed the post-race inspection after taking the checkered flag during the June 16 Feature, and it took just over a month for him to get back on top. He got to take the hardware home with him Saturday (July 21). He took the lead on lap 11 in the 30-Iap feature and never let it go. His points from Saturday moved him up to fourth place in the Engine Pro Super Stock standings, 72 points back of the leader. “We got that win finally, and 1 kind of feel like I got the monkey off my back,” Moody said. “Now I've got five races to go. If we have points nights like we did Saturday it'll take me four weeks to take the points lead.” There was a lot to work to do in that month between checkered flags. His Chevy didn't feel quite right even at the end of the June 16 race. The car would run well for eight to ten laps and then the set-up would need to get tweaked again. After a cou­ pie weeks his team, which also includes his father Alan Moody and grandfather Dave Moody, enlisted the help of the car’s previous owner, Chris Muyskens. “He was helpin neiping us wrench on the car nose to tail, and was coaching me through how the car feels what needs to be done,” Seth I IDBBBIIXTS COMPLETE £“****> AUTO SERVICE CENTER Four Local CM Automotive Specialists LOCATED JUST SOUTH OF HASTINGS ON !V17S> XA/t HONOR GM Our Diagnostic Computer Software Is Compatible With All Makes 6i Models ^arrant 1 JEFF DOBBIN S t Serving the 4 circo for over 16 yean!

We went out in the heat race before the feature and again the car did a few laps and just fell right off and we were kind of like, ‘okay what's wrong? Because something obviously is not right.’” The team finally found a suspension problem right before the Feature race, fixed it up, and sent him back out on the track. There was no expectation going into the feature because we didn’t know if that would fix the problem,” Seth said. “We were like, we’ve tried everything else. This is the only thing that can be wrong. “Once we fixed it, the car came right to life and just drove right through everyone without any help of a cau­ tion. I got up to the front and had to deal with lapped traf­ fic that was kind of scary. Made it up to the front and no one could catch me.” Seth beat runner-up Will Olmsted by just over two seconds, with a top lap time of 17.933 seconds and a top (6 I Seth Moody celebrates with the hardware after winning Saturday’s feature race in the Engine Pro Super Stock division at Berlin Raceway in Marne.

You've got to come to the table with money.” Teams have shown a lot of interest in adding him for the ARCA race Aug. 11 at Berlin Raceway. “They said Berlin is a real­ ly hard track and everybody hates it,” Alan said, He’s got hundreds of laps of expe­ rience there now, or thousands of laps of experience, They really want him to run that.” For now the team will just continue on working to get him that chance, “Running* ih the* “Cup series, it’s definitely a goal, It keeps me going. My family also keeps me going,” Seth said. When he gets down because of a blown motor, a power steering blow up, or a rare (for him) wreck Seth said it’s his family that is able to keep him going. “They work hard every day, not even just on racing, but they work hard. It keeps me wanting to do it,” Seth said. The family doesn’t just include Alan, Dave and Seth's ten-year-old brother Joey who now is racing gocarts in Ravenna, but it has expanded to their church family at the First Baptist Church in Middleville. “It’s been fun,” Alan said. “It’s been neat to have my dad helping out with that too and making it kind of a fam­ ily gig and putting it together that way. Teenagers from church get a kick out of com­ ing around and helping out. We threw RJ (Bailey from the First Baptist Church) in that faster pastor race at Berlin Friday night, fourcylinder front wheel drive stuff. That was fun.” Bailey won a heat race at the event. For now, Seth will just keep aiming for the front off the pack at Berlin, passing cars with his used engine, working on keeping his repu­ tation as one of the quickest guys through the center of a corner, and even having NASCAR guys chase him at Berlin like they did during much of the first half of this year’s Rowdy 251. & 4 I I It Il (I* jj!

Moore won three gold medals and one bronze at the 2012 Global Stick and Blade Alliance Inaugural World Championships in Las Vegas, Nevada July 16-22, which drew hundreds of competitors from countries around the globe such as USA, Australia, Philippines, Britain, Great Italy, Germany and many more. Despite an injury that could have taken her out of the competition completely, Moore, would go on to test her mettle against the fiercest competitors in the world. Just six nights before the world competition was to begin, she suffered a very bad sprain tearing ligaments and a stretched Achilles ten­ don in training. With inten­ sive three-hour per day phys­ ical therapy and visits to her sports doctor, in just six days she was given the okay to compete if she could tolerate the pain. “I was told it would take nothing short of a miracle to even be able to walk in six days,” Moore said. “But, I believe in miracles and with one amazing sports doctor, one amazing physical thera­ pist, three-hours per day of physical therapy in the pool, at the center, electro therapy, icing therapy, photonic stim­ ulator, and lots of prayers coupled with my indomitable will, I did it. “I had trained for two years for this competition alone. I wasn't about to let anything or anyone take away my dreams; including an injury. I am a fighter. I am all the proof anyone needs to know that if you put your mind to it, you can do any­ thing.” Moore earned gold in the Open Multiple Weapons Forms competition, edging out USA team mate Natalie Pausch who took silver Tuesday, July 17. She also brought home the gold that day in the Team Forms com­ petition with her team, The Jornales System.

In addition, the Cowpie Music Festival adds variety of music for weekend event B I ■XU ices. As part of the effort, offi­ cials and firefighters are detailing the services and benefits the millage provides and making it clear there would be cuts if the millage renewal was not approved, and clarifying that it is a millage renewal, not a new tax. Citizens would not see Question: What has 43 bands, 226 musicians, 516 songs, 16 musical genres, two stages, 700 free camp­ sites and an anticipated 8,000 guests over a two-day weekend event? Caledonia’s Answer: Cowpie Music Festival. Scheduled for Aug. 10 and II, the festival, in its 11th year, promises even more variety of musical entertainment that organiz­ ers hope will double the number of visitors. “There’s a little bit of everything except no rap and no heavy metal,” says event organizer John Crissman. Over the past 10 years, the music festival has evolved from a strictly “blues” festi­ val to a weekend filled with a variety to suit different likes. This year’s bigger festival promises music from rock, country, big band, jazz, blues and reggae. The event starts Friday Aug. 10 at 5 p.m. and the music continues all day Saturday. Guests may purchase a Saturday-only ticket or a full weekend ticket. Cost for Saturday only is $45 in advance or $55 at the gate. All weekend passes are $55 in advance or $70 at the gate. Camping and parking are free. The festival is located on family the Crissman Shagbark Farm at 7500 Alaska Ave., Caledonia, Shagbark Farm is a work­ ing Angus cattle farm. Every year about 100 acres is donated for the Cowpie Music Festival. The farm was founded in 1956 on 40 acres on the west side of Alaska Avenue. Over the years, it has grown to include more than 550 acres in Caledonia and Bowne townships. Crissman said he hopes the change to include different genres of music brings in an even larger audience. Last year’s event drew about 3,500 guests. He hopes about 8,000 visitors attend this year’s festival, Crissman said the schedule is filled with many local bands. A few of the bands sched­ ule to perform include Wayland, Gunner and the Grizzly Boys, Jimmie Stagger, Double Barrel, Ralston Bowles, The Grand River Big Band, The Alligators, Big Dudee Roo, Kari Lynch Band, Motor City Josh, and Luther Wright and the Wrongs.

The funds maintain the fire department’s complete operating expenses including equipment and staffing. Should the renewal not pass the department would would revert revertback back to toaa volunvolun­ teer-based response system which leaves the fire station unstaffed and relies upon volunteers to respond from their home or leave their place of work to cover calls. Voters first approved a 2.0 millage following a study by the Michigan Fire Chiefs Association which revealed that the township was falling recommended behind staffing and equipment lev­ els. The township used this dedicated funding to bring department equipment up to date and improve staffing schedules. Once the department implemented many of the recommendations offi- cials sought sought aa reduced reduced tax tax cials level and in 2006 voters approved the current 1.5 mill request, request. “All of these improve­ ments allow us to respond ments much quicker. Our ability to get people and necessary equipment on the scene has noticeably improved,” said Bennett. “The new equipment and improved response times not only make our citizens safer, it is saving them money on their insurance premiums too,” said township supervi­ sor Bryan Harrison, the longest serving member of the Public Safety Advisory Committee, which oversees the operations of public safety services in the township. “Following the new staffing and equipment improvements the township rat-­ asked to have their ISO rat ing reviewed,” he said. “This is a numerical rate class that determines how your property will be charged for insur- ance. Based on things like expanded hydrants, better staffing and modem equipment we were able to have our rating lowered resulting in cheaper insurance for residents. That’s a real and tangible return on the investment they made.” Should voters tum down the millage renewal, full­ time firefighter coverage would be eliminated, rescue equipment could be removed from service, and programs used for training children about fire safety could end. Dedicated law enforcement in the township could also be discontinued. “Taxpayers have always supported the fire depart­ ment and been very gener­ ous. We don’t take that for granted,” said Bennett. "We just want them to know this is a great investment and we are good stewards.” Citizens seeking informa­ tion may call Harrison, 616­ 318-8216. 1 I 1 < TK school board seats are open Thomapple Kellogg will have two six-year term seats open on the board of educa­ tion.

My work in the office for the past 13 years and filling in for the Register as needed has provided the skills and experience necessary to lead the office. I am familiar with the computer systems, docu­ ments, laws and statutes. I know how this office oper­ ates. What is the most impor­ tant issue facing the coun ty? A big issue is the State of Michigan revenue sharing cuts that continue to hurt the county. We have already seen employees laid off, stretched beyond their means and office hours cut. These cuts have left many county offices able to fulfill on the basic, everyday duties. What is your position on fracking? Over 300 oil and gas leas­ es have been recorded in our office since the beginning of the year. Currently, there is not enough information to determine if this is safe for our water tables and environment. We need to be prepared with proper regulations to protect future gener­ ations.

My experience in real estate and as a licensed con­ tractor provides a unique ability to see potential prob­ lems or solutions to a variety of property issues. What is the most impor­ tant issue facing the county? Finances. What is your position on fracking? It infringes on private property rights, What is you position on the Barry County Animal Shelter? Should there be a shelter director under the supervision of the Barry Board <> t County County Board of Commissioners? The shelter should be the best for the care of all animals. What steps does local government need to take to improve the local economic climate? We have to come up with a new plan. What is your position on medical marijuana and what role role does does local local govgovwhat ernment play in its regulation? budget cuts and. unfortunate­ ly, I question where the com­ missioners will find the esti­ mated $70,000 required to fund this new position. A privately funded, no-kill res­ cue center would be the ideal answer. What steps does local gov­ ernment need to take to improve the local economic climate? I think the first is listening to the concerns, wants, and needs of citizens and small business owners who are the backbones of our economy. Going door-to-door this summer, I have encountered many people who feel too often this this isis not not what what’s’s haphap­ often pening. pening. What is your position on medical marijuana and what role does local gov eminent play in its regulation? There are state laws on this issue and the county’s responsibility is to uphold these laws. Michigan’s citizens have decided medical marijuana should be avail­ able as a medication to treat serious pain. These regulations should be respected and upheld. I oppose marijuana for recreational drug use. What is your position on banning tobacco smoking in public parks? I strongly wish no one smoked, but it is a person’s right and choice. With that right comes responsibility, When in public, such as a park, a smoker’s responsibil­ ity is to be courteous enough to step away from others to prevent second-hand second-hand smoke smoke prevent and respect non-smoker’s rights. Do you believe the pri­ vate sector (businesses and individuals) should help fund public schools or should the government raise specific taxes for that purpose? The Register of Deeds office has has no no relation relation to to this this office issue other than collecting State State Transfer Transfer fees fees that that go go to to school funding. Education should be a high priority, but The more we know you, the better you are. Building solid relationships with our patients is at the heart of what we do. Because we understand the more time we spend getting to know you - your family, your life experiences and concerns - the more Medical marijuana is legal and is at the discretion of the doctor. It puts an added bur­ den on the police. What is your position on banning tobacco smoking in public parks? Banning should be deter­ mined by the people and local authorities. Do you believe the pri vate sector (businesses and individuals) should help fund public schools or should the government raise specific taxes for that purpose? I believe that is what are taxes are for and like any business . . . from time to time, modifications need to be done.

She remembers the food shortages when people died of starvation, seeing barbed wire strung at the end of streets to keep the Jews sep­ arated from others, witness­ ing people being stopped on the streets by German sol­ diers and sometimes taken away or killed, and living in fear and the constant unknown. Years after the war she immigrated to the United States and now lives in Hastings. For years, friends and family have urged her to write down her stories to share with future generations so the tragedies of war are never forgotten and images from World War II recorded.

Witnessing so many of the horrors of war and seeing how the Germans treated people left a scar on Hans emotionally. “I hated so deeply the German people. I kept all that hatred inside until 1990 when I was asked to host a group of foreigners. I never ever thought in my life I would have Germans in my home, but 1 did and now I no longer hate them. Many of the German children suf­ fered through the war too,” she said. “Writing this book was a fantastic purging experience for me.

Harrison is running for his fourth term as supervisor and Bujak who challenged Harrison in 2008 is making a second attempt. Kelly Cavanaugh is chal­ lenging the four incumbent trustees, Dale Hermenet, Donald Koopmans, Richard Snoeyink, and Greg Zoller. In that race the four highest vote-getters will be the victors.

A DDA is a mechanism for set­ ting aside a portion of taxes paid by business for community investments that improve a local business district. Describe your view of township government in light of movements toward collaboration or consolida­ tion. We already work with other units of government and contract with private business to save taxpayer dollars. I am not interested in government and growin remain committed to maintaining this smarter and smaller management philosCaledonia ophy at Township, Walter Bujak, bom in 1958, lives on Thomapple River Drive. He has lived in the township for 27 years. He has a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Davenport University. He has been employed at GE Aviation and its predecessor companies for 26 years as a senior data base specialist, His level of community involvement ranges from government as a trustee and planning commissioner to sports, youth-centered activi­ ties, church activities and environmental issues. Why are you seeking this position? Caledonia I believe Township needs new leader­ ship, new ideas, and a fresh perspective on the future of the township. There are no term limits for the office of township supervisor; the only way to get new leadership is to vote the old leader­ ship out. My candidacy gives the good people of Caledonia a choice. What skills or experi­ ences can you offer that will be useful to this posi­ tion? Eight years of local gov­ ernment experience as a trustee and planning com­ missioner from 2000 through a2008; I have demonstrated my leadership abilities in many Caledonia nonprofit organizations as a volunteer. I am well-organized, have good communication skills, am willing to engage the public and bring 26 years of engineering project manage­ ment skills to the township. What is your position on fracking? There is a need to educate the public and local officials to establish a fact-based understanding of this issue. Local government should acquire knowledge of federal and state regulations for this type of mineral extraction. Landowners should be very careful when negotiating mineral rights contracts with developers and have them reviewed and explained by their own attorneys. What is the most impor­ tant issue facing the town­ ship? Economic development is the most important issue fac­ ing the township. The town­ ship needs to establish a vision and a plan for the eco­ nomic development of the M-6/M-37 corridor and needs to collaborate with the Village of Caledonia to establish a vision for the future of the village. To do this the township needs new leadership. Describe your approach to the financing of parks and recreation opportuni­ ties in Caledonia. The township needs to establish a formal parks and recreation department. The department will establish methods of financing including grant applications and collaborative associations the like with groups and Trails Michigan coalition. Greenways Volunteer citizen resources should also be used to assist in the creation of park property trails. What resources would you use finance a down­ town development authori­ ty should the board pro­ ceed in that direction? DDA financing will come from tax incremental financ­ ing within the geographical boundaries boundaries selected selected for for development. The DDA will generate generate revenues revenues for for projproj­ ects by capturing tax rev­ enues on the incremental increase in property value over time. It is and should be •• the responsibility of local government to promote economic growth and eliminate property value deterioration. Describe your view of the future of township gov ernment in light of move­ ments toward collabora tion or consolidation. I support strong local gov­ ernment and believe Caledonia Township should take a leadership role. The Village of Caledonia must maintain a strong village government. State-mandated consolidation should be avoided. A collaborative association of governments should be encouraged to par­ ticipate in regional economic development planning to establish a regional consortium for the M-6/M-37 corri­ dor.

He graduated from Moody Bible Institute, 1970; Western Michigan University. 1978; and the University of Michigan Dental School, 1982; and began practicing dentistry in Caledonia. His community involvement has been principally through local govemment as a trustee from 2000 through 2004; and as town­ ship treasurer, 2004 to the present. He is running for a third term as treasurer. Why are you seeking this position? Wish to continue serving the community. What skills or experi­ ences can you offer that w ill be useful to this posi­ tion? Twelve years experience in township government as a trustee and as treasurer; 30 years experience as a small business owner, What is our position on fracking? This has not been an issue that has been raised in Caledonia Township so far. Having not yet looked thoroughly into the issue on both sides, I am reluctant to com­ ment. My expectation is that regardless of local decisions, the matter will ultimately be decided by the courts. What is the most impor­ tant issue facing the town­ ship? Years ago the answer to this question was always, township growth and development. This issue has ternporarily subsided with the economic downturn of the last few years but will no doubt come to the surface again. The township faces very important long-term deci­ sions with respect to water and sewer service for its existing customers. Parks, recreation and roads are always issues.

What is your position on the Barry County Animal Shelter? Should there be a shelter director under the supervision of the Barry County Board of Commissioners? This is a very passionate issue for many people. Right or wrong, the county is moving the responsibility of the shelter to a director. Only time will tell if the right deci­ sion has been made. What steps should local government take to improve the local economic climate? I think that we are fortu­ nate nate in in Barry Barry County County to to have have conservative conservative elected elected officials officials who take seriously how they spend spend the the tax tax dollars.

We are lucky because local economic development and business have done a lot to limit the impact of the recession in our community. We need to continue support of local business.

From what I know, current laws are confusing, not interpreted and enforced consistently. Local options and and zoning zoning seems seems an an options appropriate tool for complying with its regulation. What is your position on banning tobacco smoking in public parks?

My 14 . rz# ^1*’ years experience as a real estate broker helps me work $ with the public in a friendly, I professional manner especially with difficult issues. What is the most impor­ tant issue facing the coun­ ty? Balancing the county budget during a time of decreasing tax revenues and increasing employee expenses. We are projecting a $1 8^ million shortfall for 2013. This will be our most chal­ lenging budget cycle in • many years. What is your position on fracking? As a county, we do not have any jurisdiction over oil 9 wells or any similar opera­ tion. I have studied this issue a lot over the past few months and, in my opinion, it । ® is not a threat to any of the lakes, streams, or drinking water in Barry County. What is your position on the Barry County Animal Shelter? Should there be a shelter director under the supervision of the Barry Board County of Commissioners? Yes. If the board can hire a u’i shelter director without increasing the overall budget, it should be done. This is the only way to increase adopir h fe tions and reduce euthanasia at --s te the shelter. What steps does local govtable ernment need to take to improve the local economic UWla climate? Get out of the way and WM® allow private business to cre­ ate jobs with as little objec­ triklh tion as possible. Instead of saying no, local government needs to work with small $w businesses, show them dif­ ferent options, and create solutions in order to be pros­ perous. baa What is your position on medical marijuana and what role does local gov sa ernment play in its regula tion? This is a state issue. I don’t believe local govern­ ment has any role in it, what­ Ki ' ‘Hu soever. What is your position on banning tobacco smoking in public parks? It’s not feasible for municipalitiesto bansmoking in parks.Any ban would be unenforceable, unless you spent millions hiring more police officers. This would be a gross misuse of tax dol­ lars during any economic climate, but especially now. Do you believe the private sector should help fund pub­ lic schools or should the gov­ ernment raise specific taxes for that purpose? I think a combination of private sector funding and specific taxes is appropriate to fund schools. Any taxes should be voted in by the peopie. I don't believe the government should create taxes without the will of the people.

Long-time supervisor Don Boysen opted not to seek re­ election, and three candi­ dates have filed for that job: John Sager, Mike Bremer and Ross DeMaagd. The clerk’s position is cur­ rently held by Susan Vlietstra, who is being chal­ lenged by Cindy Willshire. Treasurer Debra Buckowing is running unop­ posed for re-election. Four vacant trustee seats are being sought by seven candidates: William Kenyon, Patrick Harrison, Nick Wake, Walter Eavey, Wayne A. Winchester, Aaron Wissner and Patrick Hilton.

He has taught school in Middleville and Hastings, was an activity therapist for Barry County Mental Health, personnel manager at Bradford White Corporation, program for director Thomapple Area Parks and Recreation Commission, and human resource administra­ tor for Diversified Distribution Systems of Grand Rapids.

Why are you seeking this position? I am seeking this position because I want to combine my skills and experiences with my respect and admira­ tion for the residents of Thornapple Township to work toward maintaining and improving the quality of life in our community. What skills and experi­ ences can you offer that will be useful to this posi­ tion? My gift/ability to work with a wide variety of person­ alities is my greatest asset. I know or have met many of the leaders from the town­ ships and counties surround­ ing Thomapple Township. My past experiences of coop­ eration with multiple entities will be very helpful as the Thomapple Township supervisor. What is your position on fracking? I believe a clean, healthy environment is more important than the longterm, unknown risks associated with fracking. What is the most impor­ tant issue facing the town­ ship? Recognizing and man­ aging the necessary changes that come with growth while at the same time, keep­ ing a firm grip on our local heritage and traditions is important to me. Our most critical “issue” is maintain­ ing the budgetary needs of our township while revenue sources decline and some­ times disappear. Is an emergency services millage important? Why or why not?

You have to be able to work with people and get them to work with you. The use of money is essential and thinking in terms of ‘return on investment’ guides deci­ sions. What is your position on fracking? We have way too little information about the process, the dangers, the benefits or the possibilities of recovery from a spill or leak. We need a comprehen­ sive comparison of all of the dangers and benefits. I feel horizontal fracking should be stopped until questions can be answered. What is the most impor­ tant issue facing the town­ ship? The most important issues facing the township are linked back to financial con­ cerns. Future growth, which has been slow lately, but is still figured into the future. The development of farmland, the quality of ground­ water, the deterioration of our roads and management of our resources and personnel. Is the emergency servic­ es millage important? Why or why not? We have an outstanding emergency services department. We have sought and received grants, shopped carefully for deals on equip­ ment and developed staffing. These provide better home­ owners insurance ratings. Without the millage there would be cutbacks which would translate into a loss of our insurance cost rating sta­ tus.

What is the most impor­ tant issue facing the town­ ship? How are we to main­ tain and improve our roads. Most everyone in the town­ ship uses our roads. Emergency Is an Services millage impor­ tant? Why or why not? It is extremely important to pass the millage to maintain the level of service. Failure to renew the millage would be a severe blow to the communi­ ty.

A number of financing options for DDA activities would have to be explored by the board with public input: Tax increment financing, special assessments, revenue bonds, revenues from properties owned or leased by the DDA, and revolving loan funds with interest. The initial creation of a DDA could occur with private donations, grants, and contributions from local units of government. Describe your view of the future of township gov ernment in light of move­ ments toward collaboration or consolidation. It is always important to consider cost savings techniques for the benefit of the township. However a greater look at the cost of community services would be required prior to assuming that any cost savings of additional collaboration or consolidation would outweigh any potential impact on services.

Looking to gar­ ner the most votes Tuesday as supervisor are Mark Englerth, Alice Jansma, Tom Wallace and Warren Wheeler. Additionally, in the Republican primary, Clerk Janice Lippert will be opposed by Kebra Brush, Treasurer John Jerkatis will be challenged by Donald Berry. Current trustees Mary Cook and Al Schwennesen face challenges in the Republican primary from Bruce Campbell and Paul Heystek. Shanon VandenBerg filed in the Democratic primary for the office of trustee and will be unopposed on the November ballot. There are no millage pro­ posals on the ballot in the township. Supervisor Mark W. Englerth, bom in 1955, lives on Edwin Drive. He is a graduate of Hastings High School and has an associate’s degree from Kellogg Community College in vocational educa­ tion. He has been a self­ employed in the building trades for 35 years. He has been a resident of Yankee Springs for 23 years and served as county commis­ sioner for District 6 in 2007 to 2008. Among his commu­ nity activities he includes the Animal Control building, the Payne Lake Road fire bam, Habitat for Humanity, and 15 years in the Barry County Republican Party. Why are you seeking this position? Because I believe my experience, talents, abilities, and track record will benefit every citizen in the township by creating good township government. What skills or experiences can you offer that will be useful to this position? My greatest success is being able to work with the public. From my work on the animal shelter, fire bam, Red Cross, inmate work program, I could not have been suc­ cessful without the commu­ nity’s overwhelming sup­ port. What is your position on fracking? Members of the communi­ ty and the media have raised ;reat concerns of new tech­ nology in mining natural gas. Township government does not have the means, the abil­ ity, or knowledge to deal with this environmental issue. However discussion, education, and involvement along with other environ­ mental issues should be encouraged by the township. What is the most impor­ tant issue facing the town­ ship?

She is curJ Bruce W. Campbell Alice Jansma John J. Jerkatis rently deputy supervisor and oversaw grant preparation for funding of township park. Why are you seeking this position? I feel that improvement in the communication between the township board, town­ ship officials, and citizens is necessary. The board needs to be informed by receiving agendas several days prior to meetings in order to make important decisions that will affect the present and future of our township. Skills or experiences you can offer that will be useful to this position? My experience with budgeting, negotiations and ability to communicate with people will be an asset in serving as township supervi­ sor. I will seek information on issues and strive to keep board members updated. There is no “I” in team. What is your position on fracking? A town or county cannot ban fracking. Drilling and mining are regulated by state law. Fracking is regulated by the state through the DEQ. Citizens and local govern­ ment officials need to com­ municate with their legisla­ tors to protect our environ­ ment and underground water in addition to surface waters. What is the most impor­ tant issue facing the town­ ship? 1 would list several: restor­ ing basic trust in township government,, communica­ tion, keeping township and county a safe, welcoming, desirable area for our chil­ dren to raise their children, library usage, and water quality. Local planning and zoning is very important for the township. As supervisor, how would you organize the township offices? Establish a policy and pro­ cedures manual, return calls, set up a procedure for sched­ uled appointments with township officials, improve technology, and update the phone system. Seek board and planning commission input if it is necessary to review present ordinances. Assure citizens they may ask questions and expect courte­ ous, prompt answers. Which hall renovation plan do you support and why? The 20-by-58-foot addi­ tion to improve working con­ ditions and efficiency of operations which was recom­ mended by the facilities com­ mittee with room for addi­ tional space if needed would be sufficient at thi& time. The present hall and office space need to be remodeled and general maintenance is need­ ed. What is your position on expanding the township board to seven members? A seven-member board with four trustees would give more input from a cross-sec­ tion of the community. It would give the board more opportunity for establishing committees for assistance in problem solving. We need representation from all areas of the township, Thomas D. Wallace, bom in 1961, lives on First Street, He graduated from Plainwell High School and from the Aims Community College Police Academy. He was a policeman for eight years and later attended the University of Nebraska for two years. Most of his work experience has been in busi­ ness development and man­ agement, public relations, and as a business owner and partner. Wallace and his family have lived in the township for 13 years. Community involvement includes supporting local businesses, mentoring in an at-risk youth program, and church activities. This is Wallace’s first run for elec­ tive office. Why are you seeking this position? It is time for new and cre­ ative ideas to ensure that Yankee Springs Township thrives. I envision a fresh approach to developing posiitive relationships with our local businesses and residents. I feel that our current township officials have lost focus and become compla­ cent in their positions. What skills or experi «• ences can you offer that will be useful to this posi­ tion?

The DEQ in Michigan is leading the way with regulations that set the standard for the rest of the county to follow. What is the most important Issue facing the township? The election. If we allow the current board to continue down the path that they have set, the taxpayers will end up spending money on renova­ tions to the existing township hall that are not necessary.

He has described his community involvement as interactions within the community on a personal and work-related basis observing that he does his best to give the commu­ nity an inside look at local government. Why are you seeking the position? To bring a fresh perspec­ tive to our governing process.

He is a member of the Gun Lake 5 Protective Association and was instrumental in havin £ the new FEMA flood plain map corrected and remapped. . . Why are you seeking this position? I see a need to bring focus and calrity to future issues facing the board and Yankee Springs Township. I feel i can be instrumental in imple­ menting this.

It may save many homeowners thousand of dollars and loss of property values, What is the most impor­ tant issue facing the town­ ship? The fracking issue is cer­ tainly the most talked about. However, I believe there are many important concerns including our roads, community development, fire and EMS services, and a vision of how we, as a community, want to grow. What is your position on fracking? I recently met with the Michigan DEQ supervisor of oil and gas drilling to ask questions and to visit a well site. If ordinances and regulations are followed, this should not impact our com­ munity adversely (should U ever happen). I'll continue to explore so we can present accurate information. How do you see the role of township trustee?

At first glance, I would be in favor of adding two trustees. The pros and cons need to be weighed with a town hall meeting to get the people’s input. It’s then a matter of putting it on the ballot for a vote.

There is really no conflict.” Evans was pushed on his “score card,” the number of 1 felony cases he has tried as prosecuting attorney and 1 how many have ended in conviction or acquittal? “This term I had an identi­ ty theft, forgery, uttering and V publishing charge and the A guy plead guilty to all five felony counts in the middle of the trial,” stated Evans. “I had a drag racing and reck­ less driving case and we got a couple of convictions there. We tried an OWI caus­ ing death, driving suspended causing death and negligent homicide - we convicted on the first two counts and the third not guilty. That was one of the last negligent homicide cases ever tried. “We had another OWI causing death and I did not get the causing death part of it - he was convicted of OWI third offense.

Plea bargaining is a good process, it is an essential process. You have to plea bargain some of your cases. There are any number of rea­ sons, not the least of which is they get hundreds of cases a year. There is just no way they can all be tried. “Having said that, if it is a felony-level offense, my pol­ icy would be that the attor­ neys consult with the law enforcement officers which handle it and the victim if it is a victim’s rights case, ’ 1 ’ anything; is done on a | 'before that case.

We try to keep the drunk driving felonies as felonies. We try to keep mis­ demeanor drunk driving as misdemeanor drunk driving. We get the convictions so if the person does turn out to be a repeat offender we can use past convictions.” Though they may have agreed on plea bargaining issues, Evans and Nakfoor Pratt pointed out differences in regard to the use of prose­ cutor’s office staff, especial­ ly as it regards the mentoring of young lawyers to prepare them for careers in the legal field. “(Mentoring) is one of Mr. Evans’ best qualities,” said Pratt. “He has an excellent staff of four attorneys who are doing an excellent job. Having said that, I do dis­ agree with and would change, and would formulate a new policy, on what we call vertical prosecution. That’s what Mr. Evans refers to as one person-one case. “In theory, 1 think that sounds great, but I am going to give you the practical side of that. It is not an efficient use of the attorney's skills or time. When I am in court every day, every single assis­ tant prosecutor is there. That is not an efficient use of time. What’s going on in the office when all of these peo­ ple are in court all the time? There are interns looking at warrant requests. That's not acceptable. “One thing I would do dif­ ferently - I think vertical prosecution is a good idea and we did it in Allegan County when I was there. If it was a felony level case you were assigned to it after bind over or after it was set at the t circuit court level. If it was a misdemeanor, we only had one prosecutor assigned if it was a specific type of case, like we had a domestic violence prosecutor and we had a drug prosecutor. That is a very efficient use of a person’s time. But, you have to have people in the office too. You also have to cross-train your staff.” Evans expressed a diametrically opposed stance. “Respectfully, I disagree with Julie because [vertical prosecution] is working great.” maintained Evans. “Everyone has a contact per­ son from the day the case walks in the door. The way our judges set up their crimi­ nal dockets, it works out per­ fectly. In district court you get in and get out and it's wonderful. We usually do have three or four attorneys for in circuit court L__ Wednesdays and Thursdays, but it’s not a waste of time. First of all the judges have been great enough to try' and keep us out of court in the afternoon. We always have time to meet with folks, I don't see the issues or prob­ lems that she does. In my experience it has worked fantastic. Also, the folks who are sitting in court is a great way to become a better lawyer. So, if I am sitting there waiting for my case, I can pick up what other peopie are doing - the strategies and styles, “I actually think it’s the best thing we have done.” In matters of personal decorum, however, Pratt took issue. “I think prosecutorial tem­ perament is critical, said Pratt “and one change, I can absolutely assure you, will take place Jan. 1, 2013. When the going gets tough the tough get going. They don’t yell. They don’t Fbomb people. They don't name call. They don’t walk out of meetings. They don't threaten or anything of that nature. I can absolutely promise you on that first day I will not do that. “You have to respect the people around you. If you don’t respect them, they will not respect you. The F-bomb will not be tolerated and I can guarantee it will not be thrown around at people. I have heard from DHS case workers, law enforcement. other attorneys, commissioners and other people that foul language and threatening or yelling behavior is taking place. It is not appropriate and it will not happen.” In his summation state­ ment, Evans faced the charge head-on. “As you listen here, you probably have already surmised I am a real hot head,” conceded Evans. “I think it really comes from two things. Maybe we should just talk about it. There is a lady who works for DHS. I thought she was my friend and I hope she still is. I have to admit I was a little bit hurt when I thought she was sup­ porting Julie. 1 took it as a knock on our people and I am very defensive of our people and our victims. “What I can say is cussing is almost always low-brow, and rarely the best way to get your point across, your point across, Occasionally, I do let one slip. It was a moment of real emotion in a very tough and difficult campaign, Certainly, if I made anyone uncomfortable, I apologize. I also chewed out a police * and honor to represent you. It is one of the most important things somebody could do with a law degree, is help victims of crime. From the Declaration of Independence: We value life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

But if a divorce occurs, the woman's situation tends to be some­ what challenging than wnai more cnanenging man ^at °f ^er ex~spouse. And that’s why, during this major hfe transition, you may want to meet with a professional financial advisor to go over your spending needs and your cash flow, so that you know what you absolutely need today — and how you can plan for tomorrow. But before we get into some possible steps you can take, let's look at some of the reasons that women may fare worse than men, financially speaking, following a divorce: The • Lower income ? average woman s family income drops by 37% after divorce, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. And in many cases, divorce exacer­ bates a situation in which women were already trailin men in earnings. In fact, women still only earn 77 cents for each dollar earned by men, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. ► 2^ 41 t • Smaller retirement retirement The average bal­ ance on women's defined J^ans, as 401 (k) plans) is only 60 per­ cent of men’s average bal- accounts — IS H ances, according to LIMRA, a financial services research organization. Of course, “averages” are just that — averages. But whether you recognize your­ self sen in the me above aoove numbers or not, consider these sugges sugges-­ tions: Create an emergency fund. fund, Try to put six months' to a year's worth of living expenses in a liquid account. Once you've established this emergency fund, you won't have to dip into long-term investments to pay for unexpected costs, such as an expensive car repair, a new furnace or a large medical bill. Contribute as much as you can afford to your retirement accounts. Even if you will eventually receive some of your ex-spouse’s retirement funds, you need to take full advantage of your own sav­ opportunities ings because it’s pretty hard to save “too much” for retire­ ment. If money is tight, it won't always be easy, but contribute as much as you can to your 401 (k) or similar employer-sponsored retirement plan. At a minimum, put in enough to earn the employer's match, if one is offered. Rebalance your invest­ ment portfolio. If you are now investing for yourself, you’ll want to take a close look at your asset mix to make sure it is appropriate for your situation. For exampie, your risk tolerance may be quite different than that of your ex-spouse’s, so if you now have total control over an investment portfolio, you need to make sure it reflects your needs and preferences, Consequently, you may need rebalance"” your holdings. to “rebalance Above all, get some help. As mentioned above, now is a good time to meet with a financial advisor. And if you don't have much experience in managing your finances, you may even find it helpful to work with a trust compa­ ny, which can collaborate with your financial provider to manage your assets and can also provide a variety of other functions, including bill payment and recordkeep­ ing. A trust company's serv­ ices can prove especially valuable to you and your family should you ever become incapacitated. Unfortunately, a divorce may leave you feeling “at sea” in many areas of your life. iut by following the above suggestions, you can at least help keep your finan­ cial ship in calmer waters.

Looking to fill that new vacancy are three Republicans: Dean Bass, Curt Cybulski and Jon Smelker Dean Bass, 73, has lived in Barry County for over 50 years and spent 52 years in t h e tclecommunications/broadcast industry. He was an engineer for WOOD-TV and spend half of his 46 years of service as the maintenance supervisor for the station’s Middleville transmitted facility. He also ran a side­ line consulting and construc­ tion service for other broad­ cast facilities. Bass holds a high school diploma and a degree from the DeVry Technical Institute. Since leaving the work world in 2007, he has kept up on public issues by attending as many local meetings as possible and providing volunteer services when time permits. Why are you seeking this position? I have always felt that everyone should give back to the community and, when I was urged to run for this position, it seemed like an opportunity to do so. What skills or experi­ ences can you offer? Solving problems and com­ mon sense was necessary in my work and necessary in my Dean Bass Curt Cybulski Jon Smelker life. What is the most impor­ tant issue facing the county? The issues that brought me into this campaign have been decided by the present com­ mission. I would like to see the implementation of high­ speed Internet in Barry County reviewed. What is your position on fracking?

What Is your position on the Barry County Animal Shelter? Should there be a shelter director under the supervision of the Barry County Board of Commissioners? The most logical thing is to provide an individual to work under the sheriffs as a collection and placement coordinator to work with agencies, individuals, and volunteers for more efficient placement of animals. I'm not sure it’s a final answer but it will provide some breathing room for all involved. What steps does local government need to take to improve the local economic climate? I believe if we allow7 our economy to grow through a natural process of doing business, without the inter­ overnment ference of (including local), we will see a steady and stable improve­ ment. What is your position on medical marijuana and what role does local gov­ ernment play in its regula­ tion? I’ve never used marijuana, but it seems to provide relief for chronic pain and stomach ailments and for those having difficulty with stress, The manner in which representatives have treated this and other ballot proposals concerns me. Their manipulation, delaying, reinterpretation, and simply refusing to accept is an irritation to me. What is your position on banning tobacco smoking in public parks? I have never used tobacco and I would like to see those who do voluntarily refrain. I have a problem forcing my life’s choices on others and I don’t wish theirs forced on me. Certainly there are other airborne pollutants prevalent in our parks — where do you draw the line? Do you believe the pri­ vate sector should help fund public schools or should the government raise specific taxes for that purpose? I firmly believe the state has an obligation to fund schools. In the past, legisla­ tors have developed income sources to fund our schools only to use it for other things. It’s time that they build a fair and equitable plan, determined its cost, bite the bullet, and pay the price. Curt Cybulski, 50, served as a Hastings City Council member from 2003 to 2007. He moved his fami­ ly here 12 years ago after having vacationed in the area since 1990. He has been the manager of the Barry County Habitat for Humanity Restore since 2007 after having served as a manager in retail and wholesale busi­ nesses. He is a former volun­ teer police officer, licensed real estate agent, and a tech­ nical college graduate. Cybulski has also served as a charter member of the Barry County Parks and Rec Board, as a PTO volunteer, a coach, and youth and chil­ dren's leader at volunteer at Thomapple Valley Church, Why are you seeking this position? I can make the county a better place for all residents, No special interest should control our direction and future. I hope to bring new ideas and a fresh perspective to improve the direction of the county for all citizens. What skills or experi­ ences can you offer? Many years of management and organizational experience have provided problem solving skills and the ability to work and lead. Hastings City Council serv­ ice has provided understand­ ing of local issues, state, and federal laws and their affect on local government. What is the most impor­ tant issue issue facing facing the the councoun­ tant ty? ty? Many issues, including county finance and tax base evaluation, land land use use and and zonzon­ evaluation, ing with with emphasis emphasis on on the the ing dangers of fracking, and the development of the infra infra-­ structure within within the the county. county. structure What is your position on fracking? While it is imperative to find increased oil and gas, the safety concerns are too high. The potential danger to our water supply outweighs the gain in our energy needs as the methods for fracking currently stand, What is your position on the Barry County Animal Shelter? Should there be a shelter director under the supervision supervision of of the the Barry Barry County Board of Board Commissioners? It should be a self suffi­ cient entity with little county involvement. Animal control should be a county capacity, animal rescue should be pri­ vate. Both entities need to work in a cooperative man­ ner balancing financial needs and appropriate care. What steps does local gov­ ernment need to take to improve the local economic climate? Continuing on the path of increasing tourism and outdoor activities. Making Barry County a desired place for outdoor recreation is a natural fit. Seek business and industries that are not location sensitive to reinforce our employment base, What is your position on medical marijuana and what role does local gov­ ernment play in its regula­ tion?

The plan and intent of our Founding Fathers was for us to be inti­ mately involved in our politi­ cal, judicial and educational realms. The founders believed that men of good character would understand our inalienable freedoms and thus protect them in our gov­ ernment. Unfortunately, over the years, we have voluntarily removed ourselves en masse from the political, social and legal arenas. Whenever peo­ ple of good character with integrity and high moral standards depart from any arena, their values depart with them, A person in office always legislates according to his personal beliefs and convic­ tions. and herein lies the problem we face today. Many of us, through political inactivity and apathy have handed over the reins of our nation (in this case, our township) to many who don’t truly represent us. The problems we have cre­ ated for ourselves, although colossal, can be solved. The first thing we must do is put first things first. We need to get deeply involved in our locab government because those we put in office and their policies affect every individual. While it may seem easier to empty the ocean with a thimble than to change politics, it is not as difficult as you may think. You have probably heard, “My vote won’t count” or “My vote won’t make a dif­ ference anyway,” or, “It does backgrounds and motives of each one. Ask the question, 'why do they want this position? Do they have a servant’s heart or a selfish heart? Is he or she working for us, or, are we, through our taxes, working for them? What is his or her agenda? It is our responsibility, once again, to do our research and to use discernment in order to make a wise decision on each candidate running. It is time to- declare — - at — the - ballot ------- box --that officials who do not truly represent us and have our best interest in mind are to be replaced with those whoe do. w The power and control is in our hands. Remember, there is no one in that ballot box except you. No one looking over your shoulder. If you have truly done your homework you can feel confident with your decision and make Tuesday, Aug. 7, an exciting new page in Caledonia history.

He shares with * us no good to vote, they just do what they want to anyway.” Although the polls show that people do want to get involved in public affairs due to the controversy over what our elected leaders are and are not doing, folks still are not getting involved. Whose fault is this? I found a quote from President Garfield from many years ago that I believe answers the question: “Now, more than ever before, the people are responsible for the character of their leaders. If that body is not living up to the standards of the people they represent, it is because the people tolerate it. If it be intelligent, brave and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities to represent them. If the next four years does not move us for­ ward, it will be because we, who represent our community, our culture and our standards do not aid in control­ ling the political forces. If we do not educate ourselves on those running for office and review the policies they have already passed, by which we are being controlled, it is our own fault. Positive change actually rests in our hands, the citi­ zens, not our elected offi­ cials. We need to keep reminding ourselves that we have put them in their posi­ tions to represent us and not their own agendas. As disheartening as this all seems, there is actually good news. We have the ability to change the ' current situation. It ’ is in our hands. We need to get involved and study the candidates, really research the them the importance of leadership, trust, responsibility Wally is and patriotism. always willing to take lead roles in our council and has been an enthusiastic role model for our cub scouts, Wally is inspirational in his passion for scouting and helping others. My experience with Wally Bujak has convinced me that he is trust­ worthy, loyal, helpful friend­ ly, and dedicated. He will be a great asset to the Caledonia Township Board, an inspirational leader and an advocate for the citizens of Caledonia Township, Bogus credit given to the township supervisor To the editor: I read in the Sun and News, an article titled “Supervisor has helped grow township.” It went on to state, “and then there’s Farmers Insurance which recently decided to bring 1,400 new jobs to our town at a time when the rest of the state was losing jobs.” The fact is that Farmers Insurance out bought Foremost Insurance and set up an expanded call center.

To the editor: I see a lot of yards in sup­ port of Bryan Harrison for township supervisor and WOnder what it is that has mesmerized so many people. js newest millage proposal? The township board is seeking $831,000 in the first calendar year of a five-year tax yet, according to the tax. Yet, 2011 year-end financial report, the general fund had a balance of $3,240,849, which represents 363 mpercent: of t^e actuaj general fund. In other words, this amount is sufficient to operate our township for over three years. Then, of the $30 miljion of total assets, $5,167 million is “unrestricted or available to be used at the board’s discretion." Given these numbers, why did Harrison support the millage increase? I presented this question to Richard Robertson, township treasur­ er, and he agreed with my assessment, but told me that he could not control the board. Understood is the fact that the board follows Harrison’s lead. Four years ago, the voters passed a millage in order for the township to upgrade the fire department. One major concern was that they be able to to hire hire additional additional full-time full-time firefighters firefighters in in order order to to concon­ form form to to the the policy, policy, as as set set forth by the National Fire Protection Protection Association, Association, manman­ dating that there be two firefighters inside a burning building if it is deemed necessary to enter with at least two more on the outside. The township hired one full-time firefighter, but as of today there are only two, not the three we were promised, Therefore, under the supervi­ sion of Harrison, our firefighters are put at undue risk whenever they are called to duty, Likewise, the fire victim is made to remain in harm’s way while waiting for the required number of firefight­ ers to arrive. Minutes count. With respect to this matter even Jennifer Christian, township clerk, has publical­ ly questioned the board’s priorities with regard to public safety, I also see that the board is in the process of adopting a new sign policy. It has gone from 17 pages to 41 pages. This policy, without input from the community, the communitv. includes restrictions such as existing signs, if removed, could not be replaced. Archie Warner Warner of of Harder Harder and and Warner Nursery & Landscaping said at a public meeting that, since the new ordinance requires signs to be no less than 105 feet from the centerline of the road and could be no more than eight feet high, if his company’s sign was taken down they would have to construct it at the rear of their building, Mark Doctor, whose fami­ ly owns the Marathon station at the comer of Broadmoor and 68th Street, spoke to me about the problems he and his family had with the township after buying the busi­ ness. They were given a Marathon sign that was one foot wider, several feet lower, and and was was several several lower, square feet smaller. All they would have to do was take the existing sign down and erect the new one. Yet the township would not give its approval. He was, therefore, forced to spend an additional $7,000 to modify the existing sign. Mark went on to tell me about the billboard sign on their property that is leased by CBS. His lessee told him if they were allowed to replace the existing sign with a digital unit, he could earn several thousand dollars more per year. Mark explained that this would help him to pay his property taxes, which were increased to $19,000 per year. The township would not allow the change. One business owner with whom 1 spoke was considering moving her business into Caledonia, but decided not to because of business district visibility concerns. visibility Perspectivebusinesses have turned away from Caledonia because of this and other obstacles presented to them by Caledonia Township. As of today, there are at least 37 vacancies. How much of a factor to this condition is the non-business-friendly policy of Harrison and his board? Again, I ask why it is that I see Harrison’s signs flooded across the landscape? Is it because supporters really like the policies he promotes or is it because they have observed his vindictiveness and they dare not go against him for fear that he will find ways to retaliate against them for having supported his opponent? Since there is no formidable evidence to support the former conclusion, probability embraces the strong likelihood of mer­ its to the latter. James Courtade, Alto Sincerely; Leo Vespi Why Wally?

What is your vour position nosition on banning tobacco smoking in public parks? Generally, I support all efforts to keep young people from from smoking. smoking. However, However, ordinances against smoking inin parks parks are are generally generally not not enforced. enforced. Education Education has, has, and and will, will, continue continue toto have have the the greatest impact on reducing tobacco use. Do you believe the private sector should help fund pub­ lic schools or should the gov ernment raise specific taxes for that purpose? Every child deserves a good education, and govern­ ment funds should be used for schools. I encourage indi­ viduals and businesses to support schools with mone­ tary gifts and by volunteer­ ing their time. I have had a great experience coaching the mock trial team for Youth in Government over the last ten years. Julie Nakfoor Pratt, born in 1962, lives in Hastings and seeks the elected position of Barry County prose­ cutor. She served as assistant/chief assistant Barry County prosecutor from 1989 to 1992; assistant Allegan County prosecutor from 1993 to 2005 and from 2006 to 2008; Barry County prosecutor from 2005 to 2006; and has been in private practice from 2008 to the present. Pratt has been an instruc­ tor of criminal law and procedure and juvenile law at Kellogg Community College from 1998 to 2003. She is a 1984 graduate of Michigan State University and a 1987 graduate of Thomas M. Cooley Law School. Pratt has lived in Barry County for 20 years and has served on the Child Abuse Prevention Council Board of Directors for three terms since 1989. She is also a board member for Green Gables Haven. Pratt is a member of the Barry County Bar Association, the Michigan Bar Association, Hastings Rotary Club, and is a volun­ teer with Hastings schools for over 20 years. Why are you seeking this position? The Barry County prosecutor’s office is in need of a strong, effective leader who will represent the people of Barry County. I will restore integrity to the position through proper and professional communication with victims, court personnel, law enforcement, media and the public. What skills or experi­ ences can you offer that will be useful to this posi­ tion? 1 have extensive court­ room and trial experience, including homicide, criminal sexual conduct, child abuse, home invasion, drugs and drunk driving. I have a good working relationship with the Barry County Board of Commissioners; I will work with the board to develop a budget and work within the budget, What is the most important issue facing the coun ty? The economic downturn and budget restraints on all levels of government are As challenging. the Prosecutor, it is important to manage the caseload without I will increasing costs, improve the efficiency of processing cases with train­ ing and support for all staff members. What is you position on fracking? I support a moratorium on hydraulic fracturing until its impact on Barry County’s natural resources is better understood. What is your position on the Barry County Animal Shelter? The move to separate ani­ mal control from the man­ agement of the shelter could change the focus of the shel­ ter's mission. If it results in more adoptions it is a step in the right direction. Additional sale of licenses through other agencies would help the shelter become self-funding. What steps does local gov ernment need to take to improve the local economic climate? Local businesses and economic development have done a tremendous job of limiting the impact of thenational recession on our cit-4 izens. As local government, we shpuVi. continue port these business activities and contribute to progress through education aflOn on issues such as theft and fraud. What is your position on medical marijuana and what role does local gov­ ernment play in its regulation? The medical marijuana law as written is confusing, which makes enforcement difficult. A medical marijua­ na dispensary bill has been, or will soon be, introduced in Michigan’s House and Senate which would assist with law enforcement. What is your position on banning tobacco smoking in public parks? I have never smoked and do not want second-hand smoke around my children or the children of others. I recognize that people have the right to smoke, so it would seem logical to have designated non-smoking areas in parks such as playgrounds, bleachers and pavilions, Do you believe the private sector should help fund pub­ lie schools or should the gov­ ernment raise specific taxes for that purpose? Barry County has a histo­ ry of financially supporting their public and private schools. The schools work closely with anyone that wants to support their effort to educate our youth and pre­ pare them for employment or college upon graduation, •• f' n I f^s * — F Jll- •., ■i Call 269-945-9554 far Sun a News classified ads tti ft "*"• - ixis EEiii ph •ss? h • site tail 7271 tai th up aaiEa & (X1 5^ Wiii '^1 t 5 ■» < S’?

Practice sessions begins on Monday (Aug. 6) in football, followed by all other sports on Wednesday (Aug. 8). Practice in football must begin on Aug. 6 for all schools wishing to begin reg­ ular season games the weekend of Aug. 23-26. Schools must have 12 days of presea­ son practice at all levels before their first game, which may not occur before 16 calendar days. All foot- and Thursday varsity games will take place both weeks. Subvarsity competition may begin on Aug. 22. In week one, 81 games will be played on Thursday, 222 contests will be played on Friday, and 23 games will be played on Saturday. The following weekend, 239 games will be played on Thursday, 67 games will be played on Friday, and five games will be played on Saturday. There are several signifi­ cant rules changes on foot­ ball for 2012. On passing plays, a receiver must first contact and establish control of the ball while inbounds - regardless of the opponent’s action, In other words, a catch can­ not be ruled on plays where ball schools must also con­ duct at least three days of practice before beginning contact, and those sessions may not include any pads. In golf and tennis, compe­ tition may commence no ear­ lier than after three separate days of team practice, and not before seven calendar days. The first day competicompeti­ tion may take place in golf and tennis is August 15. In all other fall sports, contests can take place after seven days of practice for the team and not before nine calendar days. The first day competition may take place in cross country, soccer, swimming and diving, and volleyball in the fall is Aug. 17. This year, two football dates precede Labor Day, goal is scored, the penalty will now be a caution to the player who deliberately handied the ball, There are no substantial rules change in other tall sports. The 2012 Fall campaign culminates with post-season tournaments beginning with the Upper Peninsula Girls Tennis Finals the week of Oct. 1, and wraps up with the Football Playoff Finals on November 23-24. and home jerseys are restrict­ ed in the use of white for var­ sity competition. This was a rule change made in 2007 for implementation this season. In soccer, Michigan will not participate in a National Federation Federation rules rules change change this this year involving the disqualifi­ cation from a game when a player receives a second yel­ low card and the subsequent red card. In Michigan, the player will still be ejected from the contest, but that team will not continue the game a player down. The penalty for a hand ball by a player other than the goalkeeper to prevent a score has been changed. If the goal is prevented, prevented, the penalty remains a disqualification of the player; however, if the the receiver may have come down in bounds if not for the action of the defender. If a player's helmet comes off during a play, and did not occur as a result of a foul by the opponent, that player must leave the game for one play, unless it happens on the final play of a half or an overtime. Hand contact by a blocker below the waist of a defend­ er is now considered block­ ing below the waist. The kicking team may not contact a member of receiv­ ing team on a kickoff until the ball has traveled ten yards, or unless a member of the the receiving receiving team team initiates initiates the the contact. contact.

Council members Tuesday agreed to consider a policy at their November 8 committee of the whole meeting and then put it to a vote at a later council meeting. The council was approached earlier by members from the Barry County Tobacco Reduction Coalition. Coalition mem­ bers asked the village to con- jiM vcm k 5011 basuT piloq Ti r too fiilssm is StfOV .gni sHT GOiqqs if 219d osdoT pi IboD eg 219d h sider making all villageowned properties tobacco free. The benefits, coalition members said, would be reductions in second hand smoke, litter, risks of nicotine poisoning exposure to kids and pets, and youth iniini­ tiation to smoking. If the village approves the policy, new signs will be posted posted at at all Jail properties. properties. Some council council members members said said Some it will be difficult to police, but but said said many many people people will will comply if signs are posted. In other matters at the committee of the whole meeting Tuesday: • Council agreed to dis­ cuss banking banking options options with with cuss Chemical Bank and consider making changes, including possibly possibly moving moving some some funds funds to other local banks. Dan Veldhuizen Veldhuizen with with auditors auditors Siegfried Siegfried Crandall Crandall told told councouncil members the village currently has all its funds with Chemical Bank. There is more than $1 million in an account there, but the federal government only insures up to $250,000. ’ “There is some risk if Chemical Bank would hap­ pen to go under,” said Veldhuizen. “If it were me, I might consider consider moving moving some some might funds or at least I would get very comfortable comfortable with with Chemical Bank making sure they are very secure. The risk is real. There are banks in Michigan that have gone under and and itit isis possible. possible.”” under Council member "Ed Schellinger said safety of the village funds is more important than gaining a little bit of interest. “None of us knew 2008 was coming,” coming. said Schellinger. “Granted, 1 think Chemical Bank is very sound, but I think we should at least considerlooking at options tokeep our money protected. protected.”” Council member Sue Reyff likened it as to having ““all all our our eggs eggs in in one one basket, basket. Maybe that’s not the best.” Village Village officials officials said said thev they will invite Chemical Bank officers in to discuss options with them and consider the current village investment policy. • Veldhuizen also suggest­ ed the council consider changes to post-employment benefits in the future, Currently, the village offers health insurance to retirees for life. The cost this year, Veldhuizen said, was about $6,600. But he expects that will increase over time to more than $250,000. “It’s something you should look at. That benefit really is being taken away or scaled back by most municipalities and companies.” • Council established trick-or-treat hours in the vil- < t 4, 4 See SMOKING, pg. 3 » I Disc golf course proposal gets preliminary support I I < 1 X 1 J f I I < < < ( ( 4 Fall brilliance I < I 4 Fall colors are striking.

Planning commissioners Staff Writer A proposal to create a disc golf course at Wildwood Trails Park in Middleville got preliminary support from village council members, but they want to make sure there’s room for the course without interfering with other uses.

All forms should be submitted to the TKMS library no later than Oct. 8. Odyssey of the Mind is a creative problem solving, team activity for students from the age of kindergarten through college. In groups of seven, team members learn to work together creatively solving problems that range from building mechanical devices, load bearing struc­ tures or a creative take on an interpretation of problem. The season runs from November to March with one or two practices per week. Cost to join a team is $30 per child. TK OM teams have been very successful in past years. Last year, eight of 11 teams placed in regional competitions to move on to the state competition. At the state level, two TK teams proceeded to the World competition in Iowa and competed with 854 teams. After several years of dedication, Annie Halle has stepped down as OM coordi­ nator for the schools. Janis Fitzgerald will be filling that vacancy.

On the east side of 240 Emmons land­ scaping will continue to the east side of 239 Main St., the main facility for Buer Well Drilling. The commission agreed with recommendations from village planner Mark Sisson and village engineer Paul Galdes that the parking lot drainage issues should be resolved before any perma­ nent surface is applied. Buer has proposed the use of aggregate over the current blacktop, which is in very' poor condition. Sisson said for fencing, parking lot, and initial landscaping to be done in 2013. The commission approved the site plan unanimously. • Village attorney Mark Van Allsburg stated that the next item the commission needs to take up is the staterequired, five-year review of the land-use master plan.

Kingsbury, who was pro­ moted to his present position last summer, knows Dekker’s new position well - Kingsbury served as princi­ pal at Dutton Elementary until accepting his present assignment. Dekker began servin as interim principal of Dutton Elementary' Monday, Oct. 1 and will serve through the remainder of the school year. He received his bachelor’s (1972) and masters (1978) degrees from Western Michigan University. Dekker has spent 39 years in the Hudsonville Public School system and in elementary education, 22 years in the classroom and 17 years as principal of Alward Elementary School, According to his resume, Dekker’s only departure from elementary education came as a coach for swimming at the middle and high school level in Hudsonville, recommending in the appointment, Kingsbury’ said that a search for a permanent principal to be on board in September of 2013 will begin soon. Superintendent Randy Rodriguez recommended to the board the adoption of school improvement plans, a state requirement for each building in the district. The board approved the recom­ mendation. A second state equirement is the adoption of the best practices incentive resolution, which grants an additional $52 per pupil to dis­ tricts complying with seven of eight best practices specified by the state. "We intend to capture Consumers Energy officials explain tree trimming process 'Si. >®8.14 w By Julie Makarewicz C Staff Writer Consumers Energy will be trimming trees in the village of Middleville and there will be some noticeable changes, but company officials said the changes are necessary to ensure safe and reliable elec­ tric service. Froncheck with with Don Consumers Energy told council members Tuesday there are about 150 trees in the village that will be affect­ ed - some more than others. There will also be several in the township. Council member Sue Reyff expressed her dissatis­ faction with the company. I feel like our village has been massacred of our trees, I'm not happy said Reyff. and it doesn't leave a good taste in our mouths. We allowed your subcontractors to park in our park and then they massacred our trees. I'm not happy at all.” Froncheck assured council members the goal is to make contact with property owners so there are no surprises when the trimmings happen. “We try to make contact and we try to talk directly with the property owners that will be affected," Froncheck said. He also assured council members that tree trimming is not done on a whim, but taken seriously and only in areas where it is needed to preserve the safety and relia­ bility of the lines.

There are more than 60,000 miles of lines with an estimated 4,600 miles of lines to be cleared in 2012. Froncheck told council members that trees are the number one cause of power outages and that, by responsibly trimming trees; outages can be reduced and safety enhanced. * Consumers Energy works with arborists who help determine what actions are best for the trees. He said the company tries to limit trim­ mings so that repeated trim­ mings are not needed year after year. Repeated trimming ends up damaging the tree more,'' said Froncheck. said “Aesthetically, you're right, it doesn't look the same once we've cut the trees. But it is necessary." In other matters at the Sept. 25 council meeting: • Council approved spending up to $3,000 for a village hall sound system. The system will include microphones for each of the council member seats, the guest speaker podium and the manager’s table. • A wellhead protec­ tion grant was accepted with the village agreeing to half the cost at $3,250 and the state grant paying for the other half. The grant is Michigan through the 44 Department of Environmental Quality. The grant will help the village identify potential sources of contamination within the delineation areas so that a long term plan can be created to protect the aquifers and the village water supply. With acceptance of the grant, the village must establish a wellhead protection group with at least five members. Council will work on creat­ ing that group in hopes of having a first meeting in October. Several • Several budget adjustments were approved for the 2012 general fund budget. Village manager Rebecca Fleury, in her writ­ ten report, said the budget is in good shape and that there are some adjustments needed mostly because of the bonding and bonding projects, HH every piece of funding we can,” Rodriguez told the board of the approximate $221,000 in funding that could come thedistrict's way. Two other important financial items are the refunding of tw o district bond issues. According to Sam Wright, the district financial manager, refunding the two bond issues over the life of the bonds will save the district over$1.6 million. Most of the savings will come from refunding the school bond loan fund issue, whose terms are set by the state treasurer. The refund­ ing w ill provide a fixed inter­ est rate and according to him, will prevent the treasury from imposing a high tax rate during the life of the bond. Both recommenda­ tions were approved. The final item on the agenda w as the approval of a two-year contract with the YMCA for child care. Past contracts havebeen for one year. said the year.Rodriguez partnership has worked so well for several years that he supports extending the length of the contract to tw o years.

This may be especially true today, when the Federal Reserve has warned . of an approaching “fiscal cliff.” What can you do in the face of such a dire prediction? First of all, you need to understand what led to the Fed's remarks. Here’s the story: Some $1.2 trillion in spending cuts are scheduled to begin in 2013 while, simultaneously, the Bush-era tax cuts — including the reduction in capital gains and dividend taxes — are set to expire. This combination of spending cuts and higher taxes could take some $600 billion out of the economy, leading to a possible reces­ sion — and maybe some­ thing much worse, at least in the eyes of the Fed. Still, there’s no need for panic. Despite its political infighting, Congress is likely to reduce the “cliff’ to a smaller bump, though it probably won’t happen until after the election. But as an investor, you may need to be prepared for two significant events: market volatility, at least in the short term, and higher taxes, probably for the foreseeable future, To combat market volatility, you need to own a broadly diversified portfolio that can handle “bumps,” “cliffs” and other rugged investment terrain. This means you’ll need a mix of stocks, bonds and other securities that are suitable for your needs. (Keep in mind, though, that while diversification can reduce the impact of market volatility, it cannot guarantee profits or protect against losses.) You may also need to “rebalance” your portfolio to ensure that it’s still aligned with your goals, risk tolerance and time horizon, despite the impact of volatility. . Now, let’s turn to taxes. Even if taxes on income, capital gains and dividends do rise, they will still, in all likelihood, be much lower than they’ve been at various in the points past, Nonetheless, you may want to consider a variety of steps 9 including the following: • Take advantage of taxdeferred vehicles. Contribute as much as possible to your traditional IRA, your401(k) EVER IN JOYFUL SONG or other employer-sponsored retirement plan, and any edu­ cation savings accounts you may have, such as a 529 plan, • Consider converting your traditional IRA to a Roth IRA. A Roth IRA provides tax-free earnings, provided you don’t start taking with­ drawals until you're 591/2 and you’ve had your account for at least five years. (Be aware, though, that this con­ version is taxable and may not be appropriate if you don’t have money readily available to pay the taxes.) • Consider municipal bonds. If you’re in one of the upper tax brackets, you may benefit from investing in “munis,” which pay interest that’s free of federal taxes 5 and possibly state and local taxes as well. Not all these choices will be suitable for your situation, of course. Before taking action on these items, you may want to consult with your tax and financial advi­ sors. But give these options some thought because they may prove helpful in keeping your financial goals from going “over a cliff.” This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.

Though the question lacked specifics for many, an Internet search of the Raines name leads to a connection to a nationwide organization that purports county sheriffs to be what one website posi­ tions as “the last line of defense against an over­ reaching federal govern­ ment.” At least 160 sheriffs are believed to be part of the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association, which held national confer­ ences in Las Vegas in January and September of this year. Raines and Leaf are said to be the only two sheriffs from Michigan who attended. Leaf attended both conferences, Raines the first. A constitutional sheriff, according to a Sept. 15 arti­ cle in the Lansing State Journal, believes that a county sheriff has the power to “restore the U.S. Constitution as the supreme law of the land,” even to the point, as Raines has stated, of turning away a federal agent from the county if the agency was, in Raines’ words, “overstepping [its] bounds.” Leaf, who pointed out that sheriffs in all 83 Michigan counties are constitutionally elected, as opposed to being appointed, told the State Journal prior •‘ to the September conference that he would attend the associa­ tion’s second annual conven­ tion in Las Vegas to continue learning about what a sher­ iffs duty and authority is. “If you don’t use the authority that is granted to you,” Leaf told the State Journal, “you are, in a sense, taking it away from the pub­ lic.” The Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Association’s founder, Richard Mack, is a former Arizona county sheriff who now writes and travels the country spreading his belief that an out-of-control federal government has left the country on the brink of Continued next page Great Rates & Local Servicing fl OUR MORTGAGE ADVANTAGES No application fee, underwriting fee, dosing fee.

Gackler has collected news­ papers and other artifacts which are lodged in the local history room and archives at the Caledonia Public Library. "Education really never stops,” Gackler related to his Foundation Fest audience, “you just keep learning." He added there are many different ways to get more education. He closed his remarks praising the efforts of the foundation, which devotes its resources to scholarships and grants to fund projects that are aca­ demically worthwhile but the district is unable to fund. Dennis Hormel, founda­ tion president, presented the bell, which replicates the design of the original school bell, to Gackler, observing that Gackler had contributed much to the community through his membership in the Kiwanis Club of Caledonia, the Caledonia Historical Society, and his numerous efforts as a volun­ teer. Hormel took note of another of Gackler's achieve­ ments, saying, "he intro­ duced computers to the schools."

Often called a silent disease because bone loss occurs without symptoms, people may not know that they have osteoporosis until their bones become so weak that a sudden I • : * bump or fall causes a fracture. Please join with Hastings Orthopedic Clinic, PC in continuing to honor women this month by helping to raise awareness of osteoporosis and the importance of prevention and early detection I ♦ in combating this disease. <’ i ■ 4 < Did You Know? ■ ■ . ~ ( • About 10 million Americans have osteoporosis, and about 34 million more are at risk. • One out of every 2 women and 1 in 4 men aged 50 and older will have an osteoporosis-related fracture I K . in their lifetime. • Twenty-four percent of hip fracture patients age 50 and older die in the year following their fracture. While men and women of all ages and ethnicities con develop osteoporosis, certain risk factors are linked to the development of osteoporosis and contribute to an individual's likelihood of developing the disease. • Gender- Women have a greater chance of developing osteoporosis due to less bone tissue and changes <] 41 From left to right: James L.

(] <1 that occur due to menopause. • • • • • • • • • r> I I Ethnicity- Caucasian and Asian women are at highest risk. African American and Hispanic women have lower but significant risk. Age - Older adults have greater risk of osteoporosis because bones become thinner and weaker with age. Body size - Small, thin-boned women are at greater risk. Diet- An inadequate intake of calcium and vitamin D over a lifetime makes an individual more prone to bone loss and contributes to the development of osteoporosis. Lifestyle - An inactive lifestyle or extended bed rest tends to weaken bones. Family history - Fracture risk may be due, in part, to heredity. . . . ... Smoking - Women who smoke have lower levels of estrogen compared with nonsmokers, often go through menopause earlier, and may also absorb less calcium from their diets. Medication use - Long-term use of certain medications can lead to loss of bone density and fractures. Alcohol -Those who drink heavily are more prone to bone loss and fracture, because of poor nutrition and increased risk of falling. < I r People with osteoporosis may have several risk factors, while others who develop the disease may have no known risk factors at all. • . Osteoporosis is a preventable and treatable disease. Early diagnosis and treatment can reduce or prevent fractures. Medicare and other insurance carriers provide coverage of bone mass measurement for certain eligible beneficiaries. This important benefit can aid in the early detection of osteoporosis before fractures happen, provide a precursor to future fractures, and determine the rate of bone loss. •J .'•'1 > "> j fi' « ’ 4 .I , S’ f 0 V 9’ t. / 5 /• I* For more information on Hastings Orthopedic Clinic or to learn about all of our services, please visit us online at www.hoc-mi.com, scan our QR code below with your mobile device, or contact us directly at - (269) 945-9520. http://www.hoc-mi.com Hastings Orthopedic Clinic, P.C.

Bergeron said the grant will provide a kick start to Green Gables Haven’s ninth year of operation.

South Christian, Byron Center and Hamilton need two wins each to get to six wins and to get guaranteed spots in the state's postsea­ son tournament. Kellogg's Thomapple opponents have a combined record of 34-15 so far this season. In other words, it's been a tough schedule for the Trojans. Thornapple Kellogg’s varsity football team fell to 1-5 with a 37-7 loss to Hastings inside Bob White Stadium Friday. The Trojans are now 0-3 in the O-K Gold Conference. “It’s been tough, said Thornapple Kellogg head coach Chad Ruger. “Any time you have a season like this where the guys believe they can do more than what they’ve done and they're capable of more then it’s painful. And the investment these guys make throughout the year, it's painful. It's just the way that it is. Sometimes you get them and sometimes you don’t.” The Saxons have now won seven straight against the Trojans. , TK stopped the Saxons first drive of the game, them marched down the field to take a 7-0 first quarter lead on an 18-yard touchdown pass from Grant Allison to a n d Aaron Nate Stahl and Ordway's extra-point kick. *5 ./A- ‘Wi ■.

The Rangers topped the Scots 2-1 in O-K White Conference action, dropping Caledonia’s league mark to 3-4-1. Caledonia took a 1-0 lead in the first half on an 18-yard strike off the foot of Joseph Switzer. After a lightning delay and the half-time break, the Rangers came out in the sec­ ond half determined to find the back of the net. The Rangers scored their first goal off a set play, then added a second when the ball rebounded off a Scot defend­ er. ’ “We had a couple chances to tie it up but couldn’t finish and the FHC keeper made a couple really good saves, said Caledonia head coach 99 the THE I Caledonia’s Nicholas LoMonaco fires a shot towards the South Christian net as the Sailors’ Luke Hubbard and Marlon Bykerk from a wall in front of his attempt Monday.

The Scots avenged an earlier loss to Jenison on the road Tuesday with a 2-1 win over the Wildcats. A goal from junior central midfielder Nick Lomonaco in the second overtime proved to be the game-winner. “It’s good anytime you go to Jenison and come away with a win,’ said Niles. “We were very good in the first half and should have had at least a couple goals.

Free hot dogs and snacks will be available for those attending the event. Gary Delger, operations director, said the completely renovated field now has a surface of artificial turf. He said handicap accessible restrooms as well as paths have been added. Although the bleacher seating is not yet handicap accessible, that feature is expected to be added in the spring. The project was made pos­ sible because the district was able to save money from recent year projects and had about $1.5 million left over from the 2007 bond issue. A citizens advisory committee appointed by then-superin­ tendent Jerry Phillips asked for community input and ranked ten projects in order of importance to the community. Delger said the district Itfaa » I 'Mdst i .ta H I » w KM istW i tsthbo was able to fund nine of the projects. At the top of the list was the soccer-lacrosse field. ■Wir to a a i K Come * join the - r- Youth Bowlins Leagues * I YOUNG ADULT BUMPERS Starts Oct. 27th 3 Games & Shoes Coaching Available Starts Oct. 27th 2 Games & Shoes Coaching Available Sign ups 10/13 & 10/20 11am - 1pm Sign ups 10/13 & 10/20 11am - 1pm OCTOBER SPECIAL!

While “news on paper” has been impacted in recent years, people still look for a I trusted news source they can count on. That reliability is generally found in the pages I of their local newspapers. 4 4. •• • v ; 1 Zw According to a recent Circulation Verification Council independent audit required by our industry, The Sun & News is received and read each week by over 97.8 percent of I the households located in our delivery area. For more than six years in a row, | MV V| 'll * WQp . 1 bl I . - •s % ■iK «n! * ; receivership in the respective markets. 1 T »x The Sun & News was rated by CVC in the top 2 percent in the nation for readership and .if So why am I telling you all this? *• In the next few weeks, we will be introducing a program in which our readers can help sOpport the work we do each week covering what’s going on in the communities we serve. For over 65 years now, we’ve managed to exist with the support of local advertisers I <- $wj ILu x: — •* ■* • w. and their weekly advertisements. Today, due to a sluggish economy and the loss of many of our local businesses, we’re finding our longtime business formula under attack. ' My concern for the ink-on-paper industry is that more information will be lost as newspapers become more electronic, in part due to the old adage, out of sight, out of - mind. When you receive your printed community newspaper each week, even the i weakest of readers will page through, looking for something that catches their eye. In the weekly newspaper business, we not only report the news, we offer stories about people, clubs and community events, along with local advertising full of information on local businesses. As large newspaper groups turn more of their attention to electronic versions, the connection to the reader and to the community could be lost in the drive toward brevity. ■I More than 30 years ago, my father wrote that, “Our rewards in life will always be in L direct proportion to our contributions and service to our communities.” That’s why our newspapers have stood the test of time. Our newspapers can I accomplish great feats by molding opinions, generating ideas and offering the community a vehicle through which to express its ideas. Your local newspaper is an I ■ expression of who we — you, me, your neighbors — are and what we’re all about. As community journalists, we’re interested in everything — from local clubs, school news, local sports, engagements, weddings and anniversaries. We cover what’s happening, what’s happened and what’s about to happen. We cover the births and deaths in our community. Our staff members attend more meetings than any single consumer and report what happened, so that you, our readers, can keep up with the goings-on in our town. We’ve become the community scrapbook, putting together everything you need to :nr • niJ .,1$ 4 f/ b •• f .-1$ b9 J< - ft .1 J know about your community in a neat package that doesn’t need power or special ►'« 9 connections to make it work.

TKHS principal Tony Koski told the board of edu­ cation recently he can't explain fully why the scores decreased, but said there may be many factors. He said one thing is for certain — there is room for improvement and he’s not satisfied with the most recent results. “We can do better and we will,” he said. “We have high expectations.’’ One new strategy the high school will implement this year is an ACT test prepara­ tion class that will be taught to all juniors. The ACT is a national standardized test commonly used by colleges for admission evaluation. This class, given during part of one day of school, will be given in December before the March test, giving students opportunities to practice test-taking skills. Teachers will also be get­ ting ACT information during an in-service day and will also learn methods for inte­ grating ACT prep activities into regular classroom teach­ ings. Each department with­ in the high school is also working on intervention strategies. “Obviously it all starts with great instructors and curriculum. We’re going to be working very hard to give our students the best oppor­ tunities,” said Koski. Koski said in the previous four years the TKHS scores have ranked among the top third the Kent in Intermediate School District ancj for most part shown steady growth. That’s not quite the case for __ the 2012 _ MME r scores. Test results from 2012 put the district more in the mid­ dle of the KISD and still above state percentages. “We definitely want to be in the top third of the KISD at least and we are going to work hard to get back up there,” said Koski. Math was the weakest area for the high school with only 28 percent meeting proficiency standards compared to 32 percent a year ago. It’s the only subject area where percentagesi were lower than the state. The state had 29 percent meeting proficiency standards, The MME is part of a three-day testing period for all high school juniors at TK, the first• day of which is the # , administration of the ACT test and writing exam. Tom Superintendent Enslen said he, too, was surprised and somewhat disappointed in the scores that put the high school closer to the middle of the KISD schools rather than the top third. “For quite a few years we’ve been showing growth so it’s shocking and disap- pointing a little to see the scores drop,” said Enslen. But Enslen said there is good news. “Our teachers are profes­ sionals and recognize there is work to be done. They have a strong desire to respond accordingly and are making adjustments. 1 have every expectation we will see increases in the next round ofMMEs. Tony (Koski) and his staff are doing everything they can to make sure our kids have the best education we can offer," said Enslen. Koski said new “cut scores” for testing probably had some impact on the Fiery reds, brilliant oranges and golden yellows of autumn are reflected in the 1VTME. scores. • ‘ .

The sluggish econ­ omy and the loss of so many local businesses that provid­ ed us advertising revenue have placed a severe burden on our bottom line. Add to that the exponential price increases in paper, ink and the fuel needed to deliver those papers, and you can see why so many newspapers in other communities have either shut down or gone to Internet coverage like we’ve seen in Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo and Battle Creek.” Jacobs uses the automo­ tive industry as a prime example of the new economic landscape. Just a few years ago, the Barry County area had 10 auto dealerships that were weekly newspaper advertisers. Today, all 10 have closed, leaving J-Ad Graphics with less income and smaller papers. After studying similar pro­ grams at free circulation newspapers throughout the country for the past two years, Jacobs and his broth­ ers, ers, John John and and Steve, Steve, made made the decision to appeal to readers though a voluntary subscription program, Special “publishing partnership” envelopes will appear with each of the free circulation newspapers being distributed this weekend. Readers will not only be asked for whatever financial support they can provide, they’ll also be asked to respond to an enclosed poll in which J-Ad Graphics Inc. is seeking feedback. “The financial support is vital, of course,” said Fred Jacobs, “but I’m as interested in the poll response. It’s the first time we’ve done a direct solicitation, and it’s impor­ tant to us and to our staff to know how the community feels about the job we’re doing.” Jacobs and his brothers are second-generation publish­ ers, carrying on a tradition begun by their parents, Mel and Alice Jacobs, when they started the Reminder in the 1940s. The Jacobs family’s devotion to print circulation runs long and deep. “A newspaper is a com­ munity treasure,” says Fred Jacobs. “It puts together everything residents need to know about the community in which they live — without the need for electricity or special connections. You can read it with a cup of coffee, at work or nearly anyplace. And we cover everything from births to deaths to everything in between, “Our staff members attend more meetings than any single one of us and report what happened so our community can be informed. We’re interested in everything from local clubs, schools/ businesses, municipalities, local sports, engagements, weddings and anniversaries. “A community’s newspa­ per is just too valuable a community resource to let go away. That’s why we're appealing to our readers in this fight. They’ve built our community, and that’s why we value them so highly. We look forward to them joining us as publishing partners.” r I V ft Xi Si 111*- Civil War battle to be re-enacted next weekend Historic Bowens Mills will host a 150-year commemorative anniversary of the American Civil War Battle of Stones Ridge.

The 2012 summer school enrolled 140 students, with *120 completing the course, according to a recent report from Curriculum Director Kim Chausow, Students ranged from kindergarten to fifth grade, The program ran from July 9 to Aug. 9 from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a m. Monday through Thursday. ; / In addition, the district also had 41 students in kindergarten through sev- _ enth grades participate in the Grand Rapids Academic summer program. This is a summer academic pa perand-pencil program where the student works at home on a packet provided by GRASP and then mails in the packet to be graded and compiled. Chausow said the district wants to provide summer programs for as many stu­ dents as possible, but also make certain the education provided is meaningful and that data shows growth. She said officials more intentionally collected data from year-end information in reading and math and then compared it with post assessments after summer school. ■ ■■ ■ “It really gave us a good sense of w here w e needed to work.” said Chausow. Chausow said, based on the data. 80 percent of stu­ dents maintained or recorded jowlh in educational areas. Chausow said administra­ tors will consider options to make summer school even more accessible to students, includin possible date changes for the four-week program. Testing results showed 45 percent of the 22 kinder­ garten students showed growth in letter names, 50 percent showed growth in letter sounds and 68 percent had growth in math. Among 33 first grade stu­ dents, 85 percent showed ■ 'j'3 - -'iIm j The CMS Singers will be performin “Here Comes Halloween” and “Have a Happy Halloween.” The band will be perform­ ing several pieces, including “Chillers and Thrillers” (themes of suspense by John Williams). “The March of ft by Children Siamese Richard ‘Rodgers, “Looney Tunes Overture.” a medley of Disney classics, and Danse Macabre” by Saint Sans.

Even though crowds were modest due to the weather, Middleville Lions Club members said the contest was another fun event for the community. The club hosted the con‘ ' test Saturday with 10~ cooks preparing different chili recipes. Fabulous Finds took the People’s Choice Award, as well as the first place nontraditional honor rated by the judges, First place in the tradition­ al category went to the American Legion, with sec­ ond place traditional to Champs Bar and Grill.

That number is down from 2010, during which 55,867 crashes were reported. Many crashes go unreported, so actual crash numbers are esti­ mated to be much higher. The top five counties for deer crashes were Kent (1,750), Oakland (1,736), Jackson (1,536), Calhoun (1,429) and Montcalm (1,340). Barry County had 918 reported crashes. Among other surrounding counties Allegan had 973 reported car/deer collisions; Eaton, 1,151; Ionia, 878; and Kalamazoo, 1,011. The Michigan Deer Crash Coalition says motorists can help avoid avoid dangerous encounters with deer by following these tips: • Watch for deer, especially at dawn and dusk, • Deer move in herds, so one deer may be a sign that others are out of sight. • Deer also often travel single file, so if one crossed a road, chances are that more are nearby waiting to cross, too. When startled by an approaching vehicle, they can panic and dart out from any direction' without warning. • Be alert all year long, especially on two-lane roads, Watch for deer warning signs. They are placed at known deer-crossing areas and serve as a first alert that deer may be near. • Slow down when travel- *I I I fl, ‘ !

The other thing we saw that we like from her is that when 1 watched her play in the spring even, into this last summer, I think that she is making progress as a soccer player. Her decisions on the field are better than they were six months ago when we saw her.” That’s good news for Spring Arbor and for the Thomapple Kellogg varsity, which will be looking to chailenge for a conference championship in the OK Gold. Scott said pushing for a conference title is high on the list of goals for her senior season at TK, but number one is just making sure that her and her teammates end the season with “no regrets.” Scott started playing soccer with the Middleville AYSO program, playing for a few years with her father David as 5 X I 4 <2 >I " r i I i a I % __ LL< ft UNIV 11 I i,1:1 ’k II 1 Pl ; J A •I / W’ iXB ni Thornapple Kellogg senior Demi Scott (center) is joined by Thornapple Kellogg varsfty girls’ soccer coach Joel Strickland (left) and Spring Arbor University Women’s Soccer coach Jason Crist after signing her National Letter of Intent to join the Spring Arbor program next year.

Michigan was one of 26 states to apply, and one of only 16 that will receive $3.5 million, or about $ 1.2 million per year, to address these pri­ orities. “This is a tremendous opportunity for us here in Michigan. Not only will we be able to help an important population, our youth, but we will be providing treatment that can improve their lives,” said James K. Haveman, Director of the MDCH. “Ensuring that our youth are protected from the dangers of substance abuse is critical to improving their overall health and wellness.” In 2011, 3,993 youth ages 12 to 20, were admitted for alcohol-involved treatment in Michigan, which account­ ed for 10.8 percent of all alcohol involved treatment admissions in the state. Additionally in 2011, 1,003 individuals age 25 and younger entered treatment for abuse of prescription drugs in Michigan. The Strategic Prevention Framework Partnerships for Success II (SPF-PFS II) Grant will allow Michigan to n «*»J- 4 * -■ 4. * R- Graphics FULL SERVICE FROM START TO FINISH ..« continue building capacity for substance abuse help in 10 high-need Michigan com­ munities. The communities that will be impacted by this grant include the counties of Lake, Clare, Baraga, Roscommon, Gladwin, Luce, Genesee, Saginaw, Muskegon, and Wayne. The SPF-PFS II will also work with the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians. The corresponding regional sub­ stance abuse coordinating agency for each of these counties or jurisdictions will play a key role in providing prevention services to the identified communities. The grant will provide comprehensive and datadriven substance abuse pre­ vention strategies in these communities. These strate­ gies are designed to prevent the onset and reduce the progression of substance abuse, reduce substance abuse-relat­ ed problems, and strengthen prevention capacity/infrastructure.

Village council members debated the sale of the prop­ erty at 100 Arlington St. Tuesday night and split their vote 5-to-2 in favor of the sale with the contingencies. The Downtown Development Authority purchased the site and invested funds to remove the dilapi­ dated home, Members defended their decision to sell the site for $12,350 even though they have $40,000 invested. “The DDA felt it was a wise move on behalf of the » V S. % w. village,” said DDA member Sheryl Ayriss. “Our intent in purchasing the property initially was to limit blight on the corner.” Ayriss also said the DDA initially considered selling the property to adjacent property owners to expand their lots, or use it in con­ junction with the southeast corner of the same intersec­ tion as a gateway to the downtown area. DDA members realized they didn't have enough funds now to develop both corner lots and opted to concentrate efforts on the south­ east side for the gateway. We felt getting the property back on the tax roll and having someone purchase the adjacent property was only going to make the whole corner more appeal­ ing,” said Ayriss. The property was pur­ chased with DDA funds, but is titled in the village name. Village residents and 44 council members expressed concetn. Council member Joyce Lutz said she believes the village should keep the property even if the DDA doesn't have money now to develop it. “A gateway is not just a corner. We don't have to give it away. We may not have the money right now, but in 10 years we might. Once we sell it, it’s gone,” she said. Council member Sue Reyff agreed. “It could be space for a sculpture or miniature carriage or a lot of things could be done there. I think we should preserve it even if it means leaving it vacant for awhile. Once it’s sold, it’s sold and we can't get it back,” she said. She said there may also be other funding sources available for the village to consider for developing the site.

Bohms showed council and visitors a preliminary sketch of how the site and adjacent property might be developed for his business, Only about 30 percent of the entire entire site site would would be be allowed allowed for parking and he said there would be plenty of room near the intersection for landscaping. Bohms currently rents the building on the southwest corner of M-37 and Main Street from Lon Lefanty for his office. Lefanty said he's surprised no one ever came to him to sell the vacant comer, Lefanty owns property north of the vacant site at 112 Arlington. “Nobody every came to me to ask if I want­ ed to buy it.” Selling the corner for $100, $1,000, $12,500, or $40,000 is not the issue. The issue is - is it a good idea to sell land that Mr. Bohms will do with as he wishes,” said Lefanty. Lefanty had to be told twice that his public com­ ment time limit was reached and eventually took his seat when a police officer escort­ ed him from the podium. Other residents expressed similar concerns. “I'm concerned about it being a parking lot with maybe a small piece for a sign. I don't think it should .

A letter from Duane Thatcher raising concerns about the sale of the property was also read to the council. He urged the council to think ahead - don't give it away.” Council member Phil Van Noord said the major issue is not recouping the money invested in the site. “If we don't sell it, it will stay the way it is for a considerable amount of time. Then we would have to spend money eventually to improve it. 1 see him (Bohms) taking the property on his own and making improvements that the village doesn't have to spend money on. Maybe he will put a sculpture in there. I don't know,” said Van Noord. Council member Ed Schellinger said he has to support the DDA's decision. “I would hope that the plan­ ning and zoning commission would be strict but fair and that it be landscaped very professionally. I can’t overemphasize enough that this is DDA money - not vil­ lage money,” he said. Reyff and Lutz voted against the sale while Charlie Pullen, Mike Lytle, Schellinger, Van Noord and Shannon Endsley voted in favor of the sale.

Moffat said he also believes the gateway needs to include both comers. “A “gateway” cannot be created with one side. The two cor­ ners were to be improved in tandem with phase two of the Main Street streetscape project from the bridge to M37. Both sides of Main Street were included in the phase 2 plan. Throwing all that away for $12,000 and change seems to me to be foolish.” Bohms defended his plan and his actions so far. “I feel like I'm almost on trial here. This is going to be better for Middleville and look nicer. It’s just frustrating I have to go over so many hurdles. I want it to be a nice place.” The lot is non-conforming with a lot size of 4,170 square feet. Because of it’s size it is extremely limited for uses.

Dale Guikema, a Thomapple Township resident, told village council members Tuesday that he’s coricemed about trying to develop too much of the park for uses that include a mountain bike trails and a disc golf course. “I want to compliment you for having that property.” Guikema told council mem­ bers. “It’s a gem for the community and its value will continue to increase as more people find out what a nice place it is.” Guikema said he and his wife walk the trails in the park often and said there’s a 1 w b His V i I Sr fcjdc/ t'i igagei neats 11 I 1 III K(| k Hu ■•w NIMWli 1 ■ Wolf/Thompson iw n a® * f. ’■iK Bfi * lA* • to# • '-ll I Yvonne Wolf Wolf of wishes to Middleville wishes announce the engagement of her daughter, Sarah Jean Wolf to Danny James Thompson. the son of of Christine Carroll Middleville.

Another group wants to add a disc golf course using pri­ marily the open prairie areas for the disc golf holes. Council members said ini­ tially they liked the ideas presented by both organiza­ tions. but some said they were concerned about over­ crowding the site. Although both groups got interested approval from the council, nothing has been confirmed yet for the site.

Try to build an emergency fund containing six to 12 months’ worth of living expenses, kept in a liquid account. This fund can help you avoid dipping into your retirement accounts to help pay for unexpected costs, such as a big doctor's bill, a new furnace or a costly car repairs. • Create a retirement income strategy. It’s important to project your living expenses during retirement. Then, once you have at least a good estimate, you can create a long-term strategy — involving your investments, retirement accounts, Social Security benefits and all other financial resources — to help you achieve the retirement income you will need. To calculate these fig­ ures and develop such a strategy, you may want to work with a financial advi­ sor. . Save National for Retirement Week will come and go quickly.

I was drawn by the family environment, friendly people, beautiful rural atmosphere, and safe. peaceful quality of life. I know these things do not occur in a community by chance. It takes local leaders with foresight and hard work to create such a community , Since moving here. I’ve had the opportunity to get to know one of the local leaders; Township Supervisor Bryan Harrison. 1 have engaged in multiple conversations with him. and each time it is clear to me that he is driven by a true passion and pride for the Caledonia community. It s leaders like Bryan that have made Caledonia such a fine place to call home. Bryan Harrison will have my vote on November 6. Jodie Marl ink Alto Harrison has done a good job as supervisor To the editor: Given the onslaught of mail, TV commercials, and phone calls that are typical of national political campaigns, it could be easy to forget there are important elections for the Caledonia community on November 6th. While selecting state and national leaders is certainly important, we need common sense leaders here in our hometown too. Bry an Harrison has done a good job as Township Supervisor. In fact, Caledonia has been recog­ nized as one of the best places in America to live.

I am sure if I am elected and have the ability to sit down with staff and administration there will be some issues that will need to be addressed. * In these difficult finan­ cial times, what can the board of education do to increase and maintain enthusiasm and coopera­ tion with the staff? “To increase enthusiasm and maintain cooperation with the teachers and support staff is to operate in a way that is open, honest and pro­ vides full disclosure. Administration and teachers have to stay on the same page so there is a solid base of trust. We need to be sure the resources we have are well used to promote the pur­ pose of education.” Many districts are mov­ ing to 1-to-l computer ratios for students, giving students laptops and tablets etc. Do you think the district needs to find ways to get more technolo­ gy in the hands of all stu­ dents and how can it be accomplished? Since technology is seep­ ing into every aspect of edu­ cation, the work place and the home environment, TK has to be able to provide the latest technology available within reason. There are many ways this can be accomplished by looking for grants, donations and by budgeting to meet this need, Donald A Haney Donald Haney, 48, is an administrator at Thomapple Manor and has served on the board of education for 12 years. He and his wife Sharon, have three children two have graduated from TKHS and are now in college and one is attending TKHS. Why are you seekin election to the board of education? “I have been on the school board for 12 years and I wish to continue helping guide the district with the progress our district has made during that time. The Board, Administration and staff have made many advances within our district but our work is one of continuous improvement and we have much more to accomplish.” What unique and specif­ ic skills do you think you can bring that will be valu­ able to the board? “As a former controller I bring solid financial skills as well as a strong background in technology.

He and his wife, Diane, have two children who have both graduated from TKHS. Why are you seeking election to the board of education? “I am proud of our school system and feel this is a way I can give back. I believe it is in everyone's best interest to work toward maintaining the high quality standards we have achieved, and this is my contribution. My sons grad­ uated from TK with a great education, and I want to help insure that continues for all the children in our school district.” What unique and specif­ ic skills do you think you can bring that will be valu able to the board? “I bring leadership, integrity, and creativity to the board. 1 am a proven leader, spending over fifteen years in employee management, having served as an • award winning president of the Hastings Jaycees, and as a former member of the Michigan Jaycees individual development team. I work in the technology field, so I understand the need for con­ tinued improvement in this area.” What are TK’s best qualities? “TK is a community ori­ ented school district, focused on doing the right things for the children and citizens of our area. TK is a destination school with a reputation for helping all children achieve their best. TK is home to outstanding teachers, support staff, and administrators, who are committed to our children.” Where do TK schools need improvements? TK needs to work on building and maintaining relationships between teachers, administrators, support staff, and the community. We need to promote atten­ dance at school board meet­ ings and extracurricular events. I also believe TK needs to focus on technology for our children. The future jobs and education for our children will revolve around the use of technology. TK schools needs to focus on class size. Most of our class­ es contain greater than 25 students.” In these difficult finan­ cial times, what can the board of education do to increase and maintain enthusiasm and coopera tion with the staff? “Open and honest com-munication is key to building relationships.

I do not agree with giving each student an iPad or lap­ top to take home, but I believe we should have 1-to1 computer ^ratios in the classrooms. I think students should have the option of checking out a computer or tablet if they have a need at home on an interim basis. In order to do these things, I believe we need to look at expenditures from top to bottom.” Aaron Wissner Aaron Wissner, 42, is a teacher at Wayland Union Schools and president of Local Future non-profit. He and his wife, Kimberly, have two chil­ dren. The youngest child is at home and the oldest is attending McFall Elementary. Why are you seeking election to the board of education? “I'm seeking election because I want to be involved in the community and this is an area where I feel I can bring experience and passion to the table. The quality of schools affects the quality of the community and vice versa, I've been attending school board meetings, on and off, for the last ten years and I feel that having a board member with younger chil­ dren and teaching back­ ground will provide a more balanced board.” What unique and specif- ic skills do you think you can bring that will be valuable the board? Having a current class­ room teacher on a board of education would be extremely valuable. I've worked with students from preschool through adult. I've worked as a teacher consultant for elementary teachers, taught middle school and high school students, advised clubs, and coached sports. I've served on various boards as president, treasurer, and elected delegate. I founded the Local Future non-profit to help adults learn important topics from economics, ener­ gy, and environment; and I am well connected with many expert speakers who could come to TK for both student and staff special events. What are TK's best qualities? “TK's best quality are the outstanding people: from the community and the par­ ents, the teachers and support staff; we have an excellent school district. The district has a solid program, and as a teacher myself, I would only send my own kids to a district that excels, and TK is such a district. This is precisely why we live here, because of the excellent schools.” Where do TK schools need improvements? ’’For TK, goals are to improve student achieve­ ment, internal and external communication, and deci­ sion making. For examples: the change of the school hours after the start of the school year is something that could have been determined more precisely before the start of the school year. The decision to change the kindergarten schedule, that could have been made months earlier." In these difficult finan­ cial times, what can the board of education do to increase and maintain enthusiasm and coopera­ tion with the staff? “The staff needs to feel that they are valued and «■> (4 1 respected as professionals.

M-43 Highway, Hastings, Ml 49058 137th year Supervisor race will again bring heat to Caledonia Township election Caledonia Township voters Tuesday, Nov. 6, will face a crowded ballot with an unusual feature, a write-in campaign for the office of township supervisor. Incumbent Bryan Harrison, who is running for a fourth term as supervisor, is being challenged in a write-in cam­ o paign by Walter Bujak, who lost the Aug. 7 Republican primary to Harrison by one vote. Candidates for all other offices are running unopposed. Below are the responses to questionnaires sent to candi­ dates. Supervisor Bryan Harrison, born in 1968, lives on Thornapple River Drive. He is a lifelong resident of Caledonia, who earned a bachelor's degree from Michigan State University and a master’s degree in business adminis­ tration at Northwood University. Virtually all of his employment history is in pol­ itics and legislative and regu- uzunu znwoi i orlw ; rmoi b id ifimiiq OfiD sasffto - r* | 1 » X. iilzaup rVlH ,8dQl isbizai V 2 moil [OvinU aarasb u •• '9 a -- I K3 FI0UBU isvinU ■ Walter Bujak latory affairs. His level of community • involvement beyond local government committees and boards is focused on sports and envi­ ronmental groups. Why are you running for office? I lead a township board that applies common sense, con­ servative principles and gets the job done. I’ve earned trust of voters by establishing a reputation for bringing people together and solving prob­ lems. I’ve proven my com­ mitment to respecting taxpay- Kelly Cavanaugh Bryan Harrison Dale Hermenet ers. preserving our rural char­ acter, protecting safe neigh­ borhoods, and supporting public safety. How would you prioritize expenditures of township funds among amenities such as a swimming pool or parks and trails? To some extent, paths are a public safety issue consistent with the core purpose of gov­ ernment. We have expanded park property in response to citizen support to preserve open space and rural charac­ ter. We now need better access to these properties. Pools are not a function of township government. What is your view of the state's current practices regarding revenue-sharing dollars? Requiring government employees pay their share of insurance or mandating posting financial information online for taxpayer trans­ parency is all right by me.

Both Erskine and Hahn have served previous terms as trustees, while Overholt is running for his first elected term. He was appointed to the council to fill a vacancy left by the resignation of a member in 2010. Glenn Gilbert, born in 1956, has lived in Caledonia since 1998. He is a graduate of Aquinas College with a bachelor’s degree in business administration. He has been active in youth sports, serving as a coach and executive committee member of the Caledonia Youth Baseball and Softball League and as a coach for Caledonia AYSO soccer and youth basketball. In other community activ­ ities, he has served on the construction committee for the new Caledonia public library and is vice president of the West Michigan chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution. He has also served as a member of the Kent County GOP executive - committee. He sums up his qualifications for office as being a village resident. He served as a village trustee from 2006 to 2010 and was first elected presi­ dent in 2010. What do you see as the most important issue facing the Village of Caledonia ? complacency. Citizen Citizens need to get involved and let their opinions be known before issues arise. Citizens need to remember that it’s our property tax dol­ lars being allocated for our village. What ideas do you have for the rehabilitation of the Main Street business dis­ trict? With the loss of a couple of key businesses downtown, the first step is to re-establish businesses in those aban­ doned store fronts. We also need to generate ideas from village residents, store own­ ers, and the council on how we can acquire both private HASTINGS 4 I Goodrich ZUALITY THEATERS J 1 269*205*4900 Downtown Hastings on State St. GQTI.com and on Facebook I BARGAIN TWILIGHT $4.75 I I I I REE I FALL MOVIES I I I I Q®3D WRECK-IT RALPH (PG) I I DAILY 4:10, 9:10 O(S) WRECK-IT RALPH (PG) I SAT-SUN 11:10, 1:40. 6:40 MON-TH 6:40 I DAILY 4:00-6:00 PM * excludes Digital 3D Q No paaaaa (S) Stadium Seating SHOWTIMES 11/3-11/8 x <%» Saturday & Sunday 9 & 10 AM «^6' if I jjf DIARY OF A WIMPY KID: DOG DAYS (PG) BITTER PILL: AMERICA 4 HEALTHCARE IN AMERICA FRI. 11/2 12:00 PM & MON 11/5 7:00 PM $2.50 PREMIUM PER 30 TICKET . ■ 1 I■ ;and public funding to upgrade the buildings to• ere;ate a more open/welcoming feeling to downtown. But to have any chance of being successful, this opportunity* requires active involvement by village residents, The suggestion has been made that perhaps it is time for a village code enforcement officer. How will you deal with enforcement of village ordinances and fore­ ? closed properties? ‘ The establishing of an enforcement officer is still being considered by the council. council. The township is negotiat­ ing a sewer services agree­ iment with the City of Grand Rapids to divert sewage from the wastewater treatment plant. What impact will the diversion have on the exist­ ing sewer contract? The possible diversion of wastewater from the township’s northwest section may have an impact as to the usage allocation stated within the current Village­ Township Joint Sewer Agreement. If or when the diversion is made formal, the Joint Sewer Committee, together with our consultants and legal team, will review the agreement and determine as to what, if any, portion of the agreement should be modified. Any amendment to the agreement would be presented to the village council for ratification ratification before being implemented. How will utility services, especially public water, be expanded within the village? Expansion of water/sewer will require the reconstruc­ tion of the roads within the historical parts of the village. At this time the village has not accrued enough funds to support a street reconstruc­ tion project. The cost for street reconstruction, includ­ ing water and sewer, is approximately $2 million per mile; Johnson, Kinsey and Emmons Streets alone will require about $3 million in funds. Daniel Erskine, born in 1947, lives on Main Street in the Village of Caledonia. He is a graduate of Hemlock High School (Saginaw County) and attended Michigan State University for two years in agribusiness. He served in the U.S. Army as a sergeant in the armored cavalry. He has lived in Caledonia for 42 years and retired recently after 39 years with the Caledonia Elevator Company. He is an active member of Caledonia Post 305 of the American Legion and is a past commander of the post. He is currently president of the Thornapple Valley chapter of the Wild Turkey National Federation. He has served several times on the council and refuses to say exactly What ideas do you have for the rehabilitation of the Main Street business district? No response. The suggestion has been made that perhaps it is time for a village code enforce­ ment officer. How will you deal with enforcement of vil­ lage ordinances and fore­ closed properties? Keep informed and work with residents. The township is negotiat­ ing a sewer services agree­ ment with with the the City City of of Grand Grand ment Rapids to divert sewage from the the wastewater wastewater treatment treatment plant. What impact will the diversion have on the exist­ ing sewer contract? The agreement will delay plant expansion and additional cost for the village. How will utility services, especially public water, be ‘ expanded in the village? As needed and wanted by residents or developers. Karen Hahn has lived in the village since 1977; she has served on the council for eight years. She has served as treasurer of the Fourth of July (Independence Day Celebration) Committee is a member of the Tree board and most recently serves as chair of the Caledonia Community Cable Corporation board. In other activities she served as treasurer of the Grand Rapids Civic Theatre for 10 years, She is a graduate of Grand Rapids Community College with an associate's degree in mechanical drafting. She is running for a third term on the council, What do you see as the most important issue facing the Village of Caledonia? Community involvement and finishing Rails to Trails. What ideas do you have for the rehabilitation of the Main Street business dis­ trict? Private and public invest­ ment. The suggestion has been made that perhaps it is time for a village code enforce­ ment officer. How will you deal w ith enforcement of vil­ lage ordinances and fore­ closed properties? I am not sure how that would be handled. The township is negotiat­ ing a sewer services agreement with the City of Grand Rapids to divert sewage from the wastewater treatment plant. What impact will the diversion have on the exist­ ing sewer contract? We would not be looking into any expansion of the current plant. How will utility services, especially public water, be expanded in the village? One street at a time or one section thereof. Timothy Overholt, bom in 1963, is a Caledonia native; graduated he from Caledonia High School in 1981, from Grand Valley State University in 1994. and Northeastern University School of Law, 1997. He worked in the financial industry in Boston for 12 years before returning home to pros ide care for a family member. Since his return he has been active as an officer in the Sons of the American Legion, as a volunteer in Western Week activities, the Independence Day Celebration Committee, and his church. He became a village trustee in 2010 when he was appointed to the council to fill a vacancy caused by a resignation. He is running for his first elected term. What do you see as the most important issue facing the Village of Caledonia? Promoting a successful village business district and continuing to provide a high level of services in current challenging economic conditions. What ideas do you have for the rehabilitation of the dis­ Main Street business district? Supporting Main Street merchants and their goals. The suggestion has been made that perhaps if is lime for a village code enforce­ ment officer. How will you deal with enforcement of vil­ lage ordinances and fore­ closed properties? The village manager will have my support with regard to enforcing ordinances. The township is negotiat­ ing a sewer services agree­ ment with the City of Grand Rapids to divert sewage from the wastewater treatment plant. What impact will the diversion have on the exist­ ing sewer contract? This will have no impact on the current agreement with the township. It will extend the viability of the current sewage treatment plant because it reduces flow' and thus will not require the township to pay for addition­ al capacity at this time. How will utility services. especially public water, be expanded in the village? I do not support expansion of public water in the village.

I love it, I’m a huge Lego fan, said team member Zane Walters. “Just ask anyone I know and they'll tell you I love building Legos, I’m getting pretty good with the programming part, too.

The TK high school team competed at the world com­ petition last spring and mem­ bers have mentored the younger students as they get started with the team. While all the team mem­ bers. admit they were initially attracted because they like building with Legos, they are finding out there’s more to it than that.

The Page team plans to compete at the Grandville High School contest November 17. In competitions, the team will have to make its Lego robot obtain certain colored medicine bottles, follow directions, and complete other “missions" they have built out of Legos. The theme of the competi­ tion this year is “Senior Solutions" and teams from around the world are work­ ing on identifyingg issues faced by senior citizens and using creative problem solv­ ing skills to come up with solutions to help older adults. The Page team is focusing their attention on the issue of balance for senior citizens and ways to help improve their mobility without losing their balance. A new “cane” device to fit on shoes is being modeled to allow sen­ ior citizens balance assis­ tance without having to hold on to a cane or walker. Their project must be pre­ sented in a skit. We're still working on it quite a bit,” said team mem­ ber Tommy Johnson. “We just need to finish what we have and not try to add too much more to it so it's ready to go." Team members say it's been fun so far working together and coming up with ideas. “The hardest part is just getting everything ready so we can use it,” said Andrew Tuokkola. “We had to get it all built first and then pro­ grammed. It takes a long time to make sure it all 44 works. Nate Thomas said he's glad to be working as a team. Honestly, I've never done anything as a team, said Thomas. “I wanted to see what it was like to be on a team and I like it. Braden Stickney said it's not always easy to work in the club time and homework schedules, but he’s glad he’s part of the team and says he's looking forward to team competitions. ■ Alec Boyd said the hardest part is learning how to do the programming. I really hadn’t done it much before,” he said. Robin Walters says the nice thing about the team is 44 44 that each person has their own strengths and talents to e> bring& to the team. They all pitch in and make a good team together, she said. She's glad some of the high school students are will­ ing to help get the younger students started. It's just so nice to have them come down and mentor the younger kids a little. I hope they can continue that,'' she said. Robin said the team wouldn't be possible without financial support from the Middleville Lions Club, and grant money from the Thomapple Area Education Foundation and GM. * 44 44 << r * •• — COME UISIT OUR NEW RETAIL STORE! .1* •■ •X r. 9 • Hardwood • Laminate • Tile • Carpet -< Jack & Pam Hobert ROBES FLOORING & INSTALLATION r< 620 S.

He has lived in the township for 25 years and is a graduate of Kentwood High School. His background is in the building industry. He ran for the post of township trustee in 2008 in the Republican primary. In 2012, he filed as a Democrat. He appears on the ballot as the lone Democratic candi­ date in Yankee Springs Township. VandenBerg has described his community involvement as interactions within the community on a personal and work-related basis, say­ ing he does his best to give the community an inside look at local government. Some say the board is focused primarily on the interests of waterfront property owners. Do you agree? If so, how would you bai­ ance competing interests? People do have a tendency to protect their own interests. Balance could be achieved by trying to put yourself in the shoes of those with competing interests, What measures would you take to restore full library services for township resi­ dents in the Wayland school district? A township committee would be formed with Wayland and Thornapple Kellogg residents. This committee could discuss restor­ ing privileges for those Yankee Springs residents living within the Wayland school district. Do you support giving up direct local control of plan­ ning and zoning in the town­ ship? I would support discussion on the topic of redirecting the planning responsibility to the county level.

The sixth candidate, Zandalow (Zan) Hilton, was absent due to an out-of-town emergency. Hilton has a bachelor’s degree in public administration from Central Michigan University and has three children in the Caledonia system. He has lived in Caledonia for several years and is particularly interested in disabilities along the autism spectrum, In regard to the roles and responsibilities of school boards, Donohue said that decision-making skills are important and that it was a team effort. Morris said that his business experience as well as his experience on the planning commission had taught him the value of being an effective listener. Dixon said the board was responsi­ ble for property and his envi­ ronmental knowledge would be valuable; the basic duty of a board member is to serve the community. Scavo focused on eliminating waste in processes and having a clear vision and plan. She said the district has a great strategic plan and decisions need to be made in accord with the plan. McGookey stressed the importance of communication, noting that sometimes the best that can be achieved is a decision to disagree, Finance questions began with Morris, who said the way to deal with reduced state funding was to grow the district, in other words to use marketing to get kids and families into the district. He also offered listening to par­ ents and observed that perception |od the district) is the reality. Donohue followed up a question about bonding saying that he would support a bond for a particular capital expense such as artificial turf for the football field or technology. He saw less of a need for bonding for com­ puters because the district is well set there. He did say a new high school might be needed in the future. Dixon focused on partnership issues saying that he would like to create a liaison manager as a volunteer position; the liai­ son manager would reach out to businesses and search for opportunities for funding. Scavo supported the use of technology as a way to pre­ sene the excellence of the system while doing more with less. She also supported the new levels of curriculum being introduced. McGoookey stressed the need to presene K-12 fund­ ing and noted that the decline began in the Engler adminis­ tration. She cited the Education Caledonia Foundation grants as a means of funding some activities and the cultivation of matching donations from employees of companies.

His level of community involvement ranges from government as a trustee and a planning commissioner to sports, youth-centered activi­ ties, church activities and environmental issues. Why are you running for office?7 " I am running for office because J love this great place we call Caledonia and w ant to offer my government experience and leadership skills to the community. My focus will be on economic development, making Caledonia a more businessfriendly township, and by improving the quality of life in Caledonia. Hens' would you prioritize How expenditures of township funds among amenities such as a swimming pool or parks and trails? The funding for a pool is out of reach of the current budget. Priority should be given to improving and building new paths in exist­ ing parks. I will work with Kent County Parks and secure funding from corpo­ rate partners to begin development of Thomapple Bend Park just north of 68th Street. ' What is your view of the state's current practice regarding revenue-sharing dollars? The state must continue revenue sharing, and I believe our township should collaborate with neighboring municipalities. Caledonia Township already has a shared emergency service agreement with our neighboring townships and should find other ways to meet the state requirement for conformity to best practices such as a shared recycling pro­ gram.

Rook is opposed for the post of supervisor by George H. Williston who filed as a Democrat. Ritchie is opposed by Sharon Burgess who filed as an unaffiliated candidate. All other candidates are unopposed, including Clerk Jennifer Goy and trustees Robert Perino and Linda Ribble. Supervisor Republican Tom Rook, born in 1954, lives on Saddler Road. He is running for his third consecutive term as supervisor. He graduated from Martin High School and has a two-year college degree and has been a certified wastewater operator for 25 years. He is a past president and current member of the Michigan Townships Association, Barry County Chapter; he represents the township supervisors’ associ­ ation and the Michigan Townships Association on the Barry County Solid Waste Oversight Committee. He also participated in build­ ing the children’s playground and the veterans memorial. “I enjoy what I’ve done,” he said. “We can do more. We’ve made a lot of progress.” Rook cited food programs, the building of the new town hall and the development of a 4C community center with ball fields, a playground for kids, and the restoration of the mill pond. “Problems are going to keep coming at us,” he said, an allusion to the current fracking issue. “We are working on a road ordinance, so that if it comes to us, we can control the hours of operation and where they go.” Democrat George H. Williston, 57, is a teacher at Martin Public Schools and holds a master’s degree as a trades instructor, which he taught for 10 years at the and Career Michigan Technical Institute at Pine Lake. A 20-year resident of the township, he is also a cab inetmaker/de signer. Williston’s community activ­ ities have primarily been centered on education until neighboring state land was sold for mineral rights, at which time he became active in awareness and action activities. His primary concern is fracking, “What is going to happen if these leases are turned into drilling permits over the next five years?” he asked. “I don’t believe the state or the federal government are going to protect us. We can only do it at the local level.” Williston said he is outraged that the state received $9,700 for the lease of 800 acres of Fish Lake, across 5548100 Happy 16th •* Birthday v7 Brandon!

He also supports using the public trust argument in a lawsuit against the state. He said he has good leadership skills and that the supervisor should have regu­ lar office hours and be acces­ sible. Treasurer Democrat Vicki Ritchie, of 11539 9 Mile Road, bom in 1952, is running for a fourth term as treasurer. She is a graduate of the Delton Kellogg Schools. She has lived in Orangeville for 45 years and operates a hair and tanning salon. She also holds a real estate license. Her community activities are cen­ tered around her church and Orangeville Days. Among her accomplishments as treasurer was the introduction of the computer to township offices in 2002. “I started doing the tax bills and the tax roll. My hus­ band and I. fold them and stuff them in an envelope with the newsletter. In 2002, I saved the township $6,000 which the company was charging us,” she said. “The county pays us $2.50 for every parcel when I do the tax roll. I care about the com­ munity and the people. “ Sharon Burgess, bom in 1944, lives at 11497 9 Mile Road and has been a town- ship resident for six years, She filed as an independent candidate. She is a school graduate with some college, Burgess is an over-theroad truck driver who worked in the retail industry before moving into trans­ portation management. She offers bookkeeping, payroll, dispatching and computer skills. She has been a volun­ teer with the Red Cross in Kalamazoo for the past six years, She plans to retire soon to devote herself to family and community activities, Burgess said she is run­ ning against incumbent treas­ urer Vicki Ritchie because several friends have asked her to. She said some people have complained that public business should be conducted in township- offices, not in private places of business, Her motto is “I will be there when you need me.” “I will have posted office hours,” Burgess added. “I want to work for the people. I enjoy working with people. She said sees public office as a way to help people and become more involved in the community upon her retire­ ment.

How high a priority is the expansion of hours of service at the library? Expansion of hours is very important; if the millage doesn’t pass we need to find other avenues so they have the library open longer hours and on Friday.

" The ballot will include six issues - more than any other election in the past 30 years. Five of the six ballot issues would amend the state con­ stitution, if approved. Following is a brief sum­ mary of the six ballot issues: Proposal 1: A referendum on PA 4 of 2011, also known as the Emergency Manager Law This referendum is asking residents to support or reject Public Act 4 (PA 4), which allows state-appointed offi­ cials to assess the financial conditions of local govemment units and school districts. A “yes” vote would allow PA 4 to remain in effect. PA 4 authorizes the state to enter into a local government-approved con­ sent decree or permit the governor to appoint an emer­ gency manager (EM) upon finding a financial emer­ gency. This allows the EM to act in place of the local government officials. The EM can develop financial and operating plans, which may include modification or ter- must be to achieve renewmination mination of of contracts, contracts, reorreor- “employer” as any person or able energy compliance. ganization of government entity that employs one or and Annual extension of the 25 and determination determination of of expenexpen­ more people.

It stipulates the patient’s right to hire non­ referred care workers who are bargaining members. It would require the council to provide training for workers, create a registry of workers who pass background checks and provide financial servic­ es to patients for in-home care cost management. Proposal 5: A proposal to amend the State Constitution to limit the enactment of new taxes by state government. This proposal would require a 2/3 majority vote in both the State House and Senate, or a statewide vote in a November election, to enact any new or additional taxes on residents or expand the tax base or increase the rate. This proposal does not limit or modify other tax lim­ itations in the constitution. Proposal 6: A proposal to amend the State Constitution regarding the construction of international bridges and tunnels. This proposal would require a majority of voters in a statewide election and in each municipality where bridges or tunnels will be located to approve any expenditure of state funds or resources. These expenses include acquiring land, solic­ iting bids, designing, con­ structing, financing or pro­ moting new international bridges or tunnels. “New international bridges or tun­ nels for motor vehicles” would be defined as any bridge or tunnel that is not open and serving the public by January 1, 2012.

As a fiscal conservative and Caledonia taxpayer, I have been impressed with the diligent and efficient management that the Caledonia Township team has provided to our community under the leadership of Bryan Harrison, Despite the pressures placed on the township by our rapid growth, the current economy, and state and feder- al mandates, Bryan and his team have met these chailenges and kept our community on the right path moving forward. The township lives within its means,, balancing the budget every year, with no deficits and no exceptions, Taxpayers have been well served by the township’s decisions to often hire a private company to provide needed services, rather than growing the size of government at a higher cost. When they need to make a substantial purchase, they competitively bid to ensure they secure the best price and the best service. The township sticks to the fundamentals and, with Bryan’s leadership, they have provided excellent stewardship of our taxpayer dollars.

A recent letter 1 received from a Caledonia Township supervisor write-in candidate is a repeat of familiar “hope and “change” slogans, with promises of reduced “assessed values” and sever­ al obtuse “work with” and “improve” statements. While these are great sounding (and over-used) political promis­ es, how can they be meas­ ured? “Work with” and “improve” simply cannot be quantified, The letter also states that the primary race was deter­ mined because “many ballots were rejected because vot­ ers crossed party lines,” In many words, other Democrats voted for him, and, in my opinion, it is no wonder — the “hope and * 4 * LEGAL NOTICE STATE OF MICHIGAN PROBATE COURT COUNTY OF BARRY NOTICE TO CREDITORS ' Decedent s Estate FILE NO. 12-26227-DE notified that all claims against the estate will be forever barred unless presented to Suzan M.

It’s excit­ ing to be able to play them again and get another chance.” The Trojans didn't have much trouble topping Ionia in district semifinals the Thursday, scoring a 25-13, 25-23, 25-12 victory. Sydney LeMay had 12 kills for the Trojans, while Nicole Schondelmayer had six and Jessica Ziccarello had five. Crystal Smith led the Trojans in digs with ten. Alaina Pohl added nine, Lark eight and Jessica Morgan seven. Pohl also passed up 27 assists. TK got everyone involved against the Bulldogs. Holly Dahlke had four assists and a couple of nice attacks. Erin Scheidel came off the bench to knock a couple of aces. If the Trojans play like they’re capable of, then head coach Patty Pohl thinks her team can absolutely compete with the top ranked team in the state in the district final.

She’s something else. Ziccarello Eventually, blasted a kill to make it 10-8 in favor of Portland, Ziccarello and LeMay paired up for a block to win another point. LeMay pounded a kill for an 11-10 TK lead. Schondelmayer scored an ace. Then LeMay hit a kill off the face of a Portland defender and pounded another to the floor. A run of seven straight points put TK up 14­ 10. LeMay finished with 16 kills and Ziccarello had 13. LeMay also had seven blocks. From there the fourth game was back and forth. Portland managed to tie it up at 14-14. Neither team led by more than two points the rest of the way. A back row attack by Portland crashed into the net to finally clinch the win for TK. “I hate that part of volley­ ball,” coach Pohl said, I hate the ups and downs and all of that, but I'm glad they pulled it off.” Alaina Pohl finished with 45 assists for the Trojans. Lark had a team-high 21 .27 .4 I 25-20, 22-25, 25-23. r“I thought our first game was great,” said coach Pohl. “The second game we really lost momentum and they came back. I said on the side­ lines we lost momentum, you’ve got to go out fired up. You’ve got to be aggressive and all that.” The Trojans weren’t able to come out that way in the third set, and Portland took advantage. Although, the Raiders never got too far ahead. The set was tied 22­ 22, before Portland won it. The Raiders got some big kills from Mae Johnson and Alexa Kaiser in that set, and solid play all evening from setter Nicole Green. The Raiders did carry some momentum from the third set win into the fourth set. They took an early 9-5 lead, but that’s when Ziccarello and LeMay really started to find their groove hitting the ball again. Sydney was pushing everything, and honestly the whole night Jessica Ziccarello she was just awe­ some,” coach Pohl said. “I mean, she’s so consistent with her one error every « •O*' V •O‘ ZT 55 ________ T HP" 'fflSS l •- a mm| ■ A t** / y- '*1 £ r kl’-> M’ •i \ ■1 > * an - i A -.W A J ■ ^-7 tv Jon Raymond Owner Jake Flnkbeiner Service Manager Quick Lube Manager 12 years experience ■ w ■ ■ Reed Ebmyer Technician ASE, State Certified 40 years experience Bob Brown Tire Tech Quick Lube Tech Towing z F UP TO M Roy Hall Quick Lube Assistant Manager Steve Titmiis Technician ASE, State Certified 34 years experience TIRES - / f LiiS^SOL'JO c i »x u I ll 5 5 l! i 14 •i A ■i । COOPER ------- — - a ** i Xj — Jf 410.

November 3. 2012 Extra-point in overtime proves to be game-winner for Scots by Brett Bremer Sports Editor Caledonia senior Joel Wenk got a second chance to score the winning point and took advantage of it in the Fighting Scots' 23-22 over­ time victory over East Lansing Friday. East Lansing’s Javon Haines burst through the center of the line and blocked Wenk s 20-yard field goal attempt on the final play of regulation, sending Friday's Division 2 District Championship game inside Ralph E. Meyers Stadium in Caledonia into the extra period. After that 17-play drive came up empty, the Fighting Scot offense wasn’t going to be denied as it took to the field first in overtime head­ ing towards the south end zone. “Right after we saw it get blocked, we just wanted to get back into it and score again and show them that we deserved to win," said Wenk, who also plays along the offensive and defensive lines. “We knew we always had it. We just had to dig down and get it. We knew we could run over them like we did on that last drive. We did it before, and we just believed the whole time that we could do it and it worked.” Scot running back Heather Hoogerhyde plowed through the right side for seven tough yards on the first two plays of overtime, then Landon Tompkins burst through the left side for the final three yards into the end zone. Wenk's extra-point proved to be the deciding point. Trojan quarterback Jake Pendred heaved a 25-yard touchdown pass to Ronnie Russell on fourth down to pull his team within a point, but kicker BJ. Powell, who wasn't able to make a kick all evening, had his extra­ point sail wide right to give the Scots the win. Caledonia will travel to Mattawan next weekend for its Division 2 Regional con­ test. Mattawan knocked off Portage Central 42-21 Friday night in its district final. “We were a little deflated (after the missed field goal), but you've got a whole over­ time to play, and our seniors did a great job of rallying around each other and getting the other kids along," said Caledonia head coach Steve Uyl. “I couldn't be prouder of this group of kids and what they overcame, how they finished the game. Now we get to spend another week together." East Lansing had its own missed field goals earlier in the fourth quarter. Powell lined up for a 27-yard attempt that fluttered down short of the cross bar on the first play of the fourth quar­ ter, with the game tied 16-16. The Scots were flagged for running into the kicker though, giving him another shot at it from five yards closer. That attempt fluttered down short too. The teams traded punts one more time before the Scots one last long drive to end regulation. That final fourth quarter drive was the Caledonia kicker Joel Wenk gets .his field goal attempt up on the final play of regulation Friday against East Lansing. The kick was blocked, sending the game to overtime where the Scots scored a 23-22 victory.

Caledonia struck first in the ball game. Darius* VonRossum came out of the pile with the football after East Lansing fumbled the opening kick-off. Scot quar­ terback Ryan Zoet rumbled 29 yards through the middle for a touchdown on the sec­ ond snap of the game. Wenk’s extra-point was good for a 7-0 Caledonia lead. . The Scots upped their lead to 9-0 with 3:24 left in the first quarter. Adam Walma broke through the middle of the Trojan line and blocked a Pendred punt from his own 20-yard line. The ball flew back out of the end zone for a safety. Caledonia then went 54 yards on ten plays on the ensuing possession, finishing it of with a one-yard QB sneak for a score by Zoet. Wenk followed it up w ith his second extra-point of the night. The Scots were never able to add to their lead though. “We had a great first quar­ ter," Uyl said. “The second and third quarters we really struggled (offensively). We couldn’t get into a rhythm. We couldn't get first downs. It was three-and-out, threeand-out. In our offense, that's a hard thing to over­ come - really in any offense. We struggled. They threw a few different fronts at us. Their defensive line is very good.-and they've played great defense all year. We knew it was going to be a low scoring game in order for us to win." The Trojan kicker. Powell, didn't get to try an extra point before overtime. With the Scots up 16-0 at that point, the Trojans went for two points and got the two points after each of their two touchdowns. Pendred connected with Jack Fossum for a 17-yard score about three minutes before the end of the first half, then connected with Fossum again on the twopoint conversion, The Trojans evened things up with 5:27 to play in the third quarter, as Pendred completed a 12-yard touchdown pass to Haines then fired the two-point pass to Fossum again. Haines was a threat to score on every touch. He fin­ ished the night with 10 receptions for 110 yards. Pendred was 16-of-32 pass­ ing for 210 yards. He was intercepted once, in the end zone by the Scots' Logan Soule on the final play of the first half. That saved the Scots from giving up any points following A Zoet interception in his own end.

Senior Brett Smith caught one. Senior Heath Hoogerhyde caught one. Sophomore Michael Andrusiak caught one. one. Sophomore Logan Soule hauled in three. The problem for Swartz Creek was that Soule, Andrusiak, Hoogerhyde and Smith are all Fighting Scots. Caledonia’s varsity foot­ ball team marched the other way with all six of those interceptions to score touch­ downs, and scored a 53-27 win at Swartz Creek to open the 2012 postseason tourna­ ment, earning the chance to take on East Lansing in the District Championship game in Caledonia last night. “Our defensive backs played well all year,” said Caledonia head coach Steve Uyl. “Those guys back there did a heck of a job. Swartz Cre^k has a very good quar­ terback. They have some high-powered weapons on offense, and for us to get that many tupiovers and get the ball back in our offense’s hands was really a big part of the game.” None of those intercep­ tions was bigger than the one Hoogerhyde jumped up to grab in front of Max Cummings in the front left corner of the Scots' end zone with 1:50 to play in the first half. Less than a minute and a half later Scot quarterback Ryan Zoet completed a 25yard touchdown pass to Isaac Andrusiak at the other end of the field to put their team up 20-6 heading into the break. Hoogerhyde said it was preparation all week long that led to the defensive backs' success. “You've got to be physical in practice. We are in everything we do. We did 30 min­ utes of pressing, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, then Friday we let off of it a little bit,” Hoogerhyde said. “We Hoogerhyde said. watched film,Monday and Wednesday and for countless hours at home - just prepara­ tion to see what routes they run, down and distance, all that stuff.” " He didn’t want the DB’s to get all the credit though. “This game, we only had three guys rushing the pass­ er. Our linebackers are help­ ing us because all they do is throw the ball. They did a heck of a job getting pressure on the quarterback. That helps us more than anything because if he is getting rushed he’s just going to throw it, and I feel like that might have been why we had so many picks today. Schoenfield did complete 13 of his 28 pass attempts to his own teammates for 258, and it wasn't really until about after the fifth intercep­ tion that the Scots could feel comfortable. The Dragons scored the game's first points, on a 42yard run by James Richards, but missed the extra-point. The Scots answered on their next drive, with quarterback Ryan Zoet rushing into the end zone from five yards out. Joel Wenk was good on his kick * for extra-point Caledonia. The Scots led the rest of the way. ] 11 / X ’ JI «1 r- A S’ r —ei I - 1 Jw r I u ■■ ♦ f w * % r Fighting Scot sophomore defensive back Logan Soule pulls away from Swartz Creek receiver Tim Hill after an interception late in the third quarter Saturday, (Photo by Brett Bremer) Caledonia senior defensive back Heath Hoogerhyde leaps up to intercept a pass in front of Swartz Creek receiver Max Cummings in the end zone late in the first half of Saturday’s Division 2 Pre-District game.

Isbiug bio ni ^onio siimil 3q zns 1 nsri) JWOllfi Staff Writer Raising chickens in the village of Middleville will be discussed at the Nov. 13 vil­ lage council meeting and the council could decide to set a public hearing. Planning and zoning administrator Catherine Getty introduced the ordi­ nance at the Nov. 7 commit­ tee of the whole meeting. The ordinance was recom­ mended by the planning commission after several months of discussion and debate. The ordinance outlines specific restriction and guidelines that must be met in order for anyone to keep chickens in the village and limits the number of chick­ ens per property to not more than four. Roosters are not allowed. There are also several spe­ cific guidelines for the types of enclosures that must be used to house the chickens and setback requirements from property lines and from adjacent dwellings. “If people want to have chickens, they can move outside the village limits. I don’t want to have chickens all over the village.” Ed Schellinger, village council I 1 'w r; Chickens may be allowed in any zoning district within the village as long as the property can meet the set- back requirements. Getty told council mem­ bers at this time there have only been a handful of peopie expressing interest in raising chickens. “That’s not to say that there won’t be more if this is approved,” she added. Council member Ed Schellinger said he’s con­ cerned about rodents and prey animals like coyotes coming in to the village because of the chickens. He’s also concerned about diseases the chickens may carry or provide breeding grounds. “If people want to have chickens, they can move out­ side the village limits,” said Schellinger. “I don’t want to have chickens all over the village.” Council member Mike Lytle said, based on the restrictions in the ordinance, his lot would meet qualifica­ tions to have chickens. “My lot is only 66 feet and yet I could have chickens,” said Lytle. “I'm not for it. Other council members said they will review the 4 ordinance submitted and the entire council will discuss it further at its Nov. 13 meet­ ing.

Morris outpolled all other candidates receiving 3,519 votes. Morris attributed his vic­ tory to a campaign that went door-to-door, an expe­ rience that he found very energizing. "I've said it before I'm a face-to-face kind of guy, he commented. ”TI'm '_ exhausted.

Mr. Jousma takes issue with the comments of Kathy Jackson who had stated in a prior letter to the Sun and News that a township supervisor cannot lower the assessrnents on township properties. Kathy raised that point because “lowering assessed values* was specifically listed as one of the first bullet points of candidate Walter Bujak's “Action Plan ” It is important to note that the Bukjak “plan” did not call for lower taxes, it called for lower assessments. Mrs. Jackson is absolutely correct in pointing out that elected officials, individually or collectively. have no authority to lower assessed values. Our board of trustees, however, can take steps to lower the local tax bill. And this has been the case in Caledonia Township under Bryan Harrison. In 2006, a public safety millage reduction of 25% was placed on the ballot by the Caledonia Board of Trustees and this measure was overwhelmingly approved by the voters.

The Trojans pushed the Vikings to five sets a year ago, but Saturday at Wayland Union High School TK managed to steal just one set from the top ranked team in the state. Lake wood earned a spot in this week's Class B Regional Tournament in Middleville by outscoring the Trojans 25-17, 20-25, 25-11, 25-8. Passing troubles hurt the Trojans much of the morn­ ing, especially on the sene receive. Lakewood’s Olivia Davis had six aces in the three sets. Brooke Wieland added three and Emily Kutch two. “Without the passing, we were not able to run our offense as usual, said Thornapple Kellogg head coach Patty Pohl. The Vikings did their best on the other side of the net to limit the offense the Trojans did get going. They focused on taking away the Trojans' attack through the middle. Vanessa Reynhout had six blocks, that head coach Rowland said Kellie ___ ___ „ “changed the game.” Wieland also had four blocks to go with her 38 assists. Many of those passes went to Kutch and Davis. Kutch led her team with 14 kills and Davis had ten. Reynhout finished with four kills. In the back defensively, the Vikings got 14 digs from Beth Tingley and 11 from Kutch. Jordan Kietzman and Wieland added six digs each. Sydney LeMay found enough space at the net to lead the Trojans with nine kills and nine blocks. Jessica Ziccarello added nine kills for TK too. Setter Alaina Pohl finished with 25 assists and eight digs. “1 had an outstanding group of young ladies, who have great integrity and char­ acter,” said coach Pohl. “What more could a coach ask for? “That's definitely what I told them after we lost. 1 said nothing about the match itself, except that sometimes when you want something VI 11 11 Thomapple Kellogg’s Paige Eyk passes the ball up in front of the net as teammates Sydney LeMay (3) and Alaina Pohl look on Saturday during the Class B District Final against Lakewood at Wayland Union High School.

By no means did the Fighting Scots shut down the Wildcat offense. Mattawan rushed for 310 yards and Brok Lamorandier broke free for 65- and 69-yard touch­ down runs. Caledonia recovered two Wildcat fumbles. The second recovery, by Brett Smith, led to a drive that ended in a 1yard touchdown run by full­ back Garret Hubbell with 1:44 left in the third quarter. That score gave the Scots a two-touchdown cushion. “Any time you face that offense, definitely it's a dif­ ferent week of preparation." Uyl said. “You know, they came up with some stops when they needed to. We held them to 28 points, and that's a team that's been averaging over 40.

The Scots came our raring to go. They took the opening kick-off and went 53 yards in three plays, getting a 36-yard touchdown run from Hoogerhyde. Joel Wenk was perfect on all seven of his extra-point kicks. After a three-and-out by the Caledonia defense, the Scot offense moved 49 yards in nine plays.

The two teams traded touchdowns in the second quarter, with Zoet scoring on a 5-yard run for the Scots and Lamorandier answering less than a minute later with a 69yard scoring run. Lamorandier then tied the game at 21-21 1:49 into the second half on a 13-yard touchdown run. An 11 -play, 60-yard drive by the Scots quickly got the momentum back on their side.

M-43 Highway, Hastings, Ml 49058 137th year village Council clears way for business expansion by Fran Faverman Staff Writer The Caledonia Village Council two approved actions at their Monday meeting clearing the way for Steve Buer of Buer Well Drilling, Inc., to continue plans to expand into the 240 Emmons Street property rezoned from residential to commercial neighborhood use. Acting as the zoning board of appeals and following a required public hearing, the council granted Buer Well Drilling, Inc. a variance from the zoning ordinance govern­ ing the height of fences in front yards. The variance allows the fence facing Emmons Street along the property to be six feet high instead of the 48 inches allowed in the ordi­ nance. According to Buer, the fence will be a white plastic material similar to what is used in a village public park­ ing lot on the north side of riT nuoJ loilofi • • illhG 2fl£ Iq mm3 nmoo .9£U □A qs to MUpT! □nijoj liilnCI ox srtJ IJ gni JnoTt riT gnoifi f 1901 I I 30 n isnsm )I gni Main Street.

Middleville council members sworn in to office by Julie Makarewicz Staff Writer Middleville Village parks and recreation areas will be tobacco free zones following the Council's Village approval Tuesday of a tobac­ co free parks policy. Signs will be posted in the parks and along the Paul Henry Trail to notify users of the restrictions. The village will seek grant funds from the Barry County Health Department to help pay for up to $200 of the sign costs. The village will need at least seven signs at a cost of $42 each. • The policy will also apply to Calvin Hill, Hill. Spring, Stagecoach, and Wildwood Parks in the village o as well as the Paul Henry7 Thomapple Trail. The emphasis of the policy is on voluntary compliance. Council member Shannon Endsley was the only dissenting vote.

Pixelvine Studios of Freeport was contracted to establish the website at a cost of $2,535. Township officials, at their meeting Wednesday night, said they will be reviewing the first draft of the website this month and hope to have the website available by the first of the year. Jamie Knight who was elected this month to serve as township supervisor, said having a website is one of her goals. She said the new website will give residents better access to township information. Treasurer Lynnette Wingeier said more information about the website will likely be included in a township newsletter that is included with tax bills sent out in early December. In another matter, the board continued discussion of establishing a noise ordi­ nance. There have been issues in the township with noise nuisances and without an ordinance the township has no way to control issues. Trustee Larry Brummel said he’s not in favor of establishing an ordinance, but says the township needs more information if they want to even consider one. He suggested getting sample ordinances from surrounding townships to see how other rural areas handle the noise issues. a I think we have to be awful careful with what we do - if we do anything,” said Brummel. Resident Dean Bass said he’s also not in favor of a noise ordinance. “People move out here to be able able to to run run their their bikes, bikes,”” be said Bass. Bass. ““Where Where else else can can said they do it?” Supervisor George London conceded conceded that, that, even even London with an an ordinance ordinance in in place place ,it ,it with ican often be difficult to enforce, “It might be more of a deterrent for people,” said London. Bass said he doesn’t favor “deterrent” laws. “Laws should be made to be enforced,” added Bass. “If they can’t be enforced, why have them?” Clerk Carol Ergang was instructed to contact neigh­ boring communities and try to obtain copies of their noise ordinances for the township board to review, The board will continue gathering information before making any decision about establishing an ordinance, In other matters before the board: ’ Kristin Cove was appointed to a two-year term on the board of review. • Orlo Olds was appointed as the deputy clerk for the township. He will fill the vacancy created by Knight who was elected to serve as township supervisupervi­ sor. sor. Knight Knight had had been been deputy deputy clerk clerkfor forthe the past pasttwo twoyears. years, C o u n t y Commissioner Dan Parker updated the township offi- cials on work at the county level. He said the county has received a “AA” bond rating which is about the best a county can get during these difficult economic times. Parker also said county appointments to various boards and committees will be made after the new com­ missioners take office in January. With redistricting of county commission dis­ tricts, Parker did not seek reelection. He told township officials he will continue serving on the Middleville Housing Commission and hopes to serve on the Barry County Parks and Recreation Commission. • The township board agreed to seek input about ways to improve security for the township hall. London said there was a recent inappropriate incident that brought safety concerns to his attention. The township is looking at ways of secur­ ing the office for better pro­ tection of employees.

Her remarks come after the village approved sale of the property at 100 Arlington St. to Jeff Bohms for his State Farm Insurance business. business. Some council members questioned if the site was advertised for sale so the public had equal opportunities to bid on it. • Mike * Bremer, recentlyelected toserve as ThomappleTownship super­ visor, told council members he looks forward to workingo with all of them and getting to know them better. "I’m looking forward to working with you to continue making our comer of Barry County the fabulous place that it is for all of us," he said. A if . ft I ft ' J l1^ a#5 & [ * I i^r. A1 Middleville begins 2013 budget process by Julie Makarewicz Staff Writer For the first time in many years, Middleville Village Council’s proposed budget does not contain deficits in any funds. A public hearing on the proposed 2013 budget is scheduled for 7 p.m. at the Nov. 27 village council meeting in the village hall. “We hope we achieve fund balance as planned to start building a rainy day fund and start saving some money,” said village manager Rebecca Fleury presenting a preliminary budget for review to the council at its Nov. 7 committee of the whole meeting. Council member Shannon Endsley thanked Fleury for presenting the budget thor­ oughly. “You’re managing our money very well,” said Endsley. “Thank you. To see this without deficit is very good.” The village has been under a deficit-elimination plan for the general fund, as well as the major and local street funds for the past few years. In 2012, the local street fund was solvent and in 2011 the general fund became solvent. Fleury said this is the first time in many years no funds are projected with deficits. She said 2013 is the last year the village will be required to submit a deficit- elimination plan to the state. The 2013 projected budget estimates total revenues of $1,114 million, with total expenses of $1,112 million, That leaves the village with an estimated $2,505. “It is very tight,” she said. “There are no staff increases and no decreases.” Overall the budget esti­ mates about a 6 percent increase in projected rev­ enues, even though real and personal tax revenues are expected to decrease. Fleury said there are still several variables in the pro­ posed budget and revenues may change as well as expenses. Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf attended the meeting to justify increases in the police budget for the village. With increased health costs, pensions and wages as required, the department needs about an additional $19,025, up from $264,928 in the 2012 budget. Middleville contracts with the sheriff’s department for three full-time officers assigned to the village. The budget process is far from over. Afer the Nov. 27 public hearing, the council will have chance to review and have final questions about the budge at their Dec. 4 committee of the whole meeting. Final budget meeting. approval is expected at the Dec. 18 village council meet­ ing. 1* Mm* b ■I Si ■; I 1 i^i I I Uii J? I 'h »ki 05 § �I ’K i wuV *। ■UK' L-^V.

Anyone wanting to speak about the proposed ordinance is encouraged to attend. attend. Council members could decide after the hearing that night whether to approve the ordinance allowing chicken farming. More than six months ago, Stacey and Ruben Campos proposed the idea of village residents being allowed to raise a few chickens. Since then, it’s been the topic of many discussions, debates and research at the village council and planning com. . missions. The planning commission js recommending an ordinance with strict regulations that would allow chickens within the village. Several provisions are included in the ordinance. public hearing. Council members said they thought it was important, though, since there have been a number of discussions about the issue, Some council members voiced concerns about dis­ eases carried by chickens and how the birds might attract rodents or predators such as coyotes into the vil­ lage. Some said they are also concerned this could lead to a lot of chickens in the vil­ lage. Planning and Zoning . Administrator Catherine Getty said only a few residents have expressed interest in raising chickens, but said that could grow if the ordi­ nance is approved. No more than four chickens per property would be per­ mitted, and no roosters will be allowed. Chickens may be allowed in all zoning districts if prop­ erties meet required setbacks from property lines and adja­ cent dwellings. There are also restrictions on the types of chicken enclosures, that they must be in a rear yard. and that they must be kept in good order. order, good Any village resident wanting to raise chickens must first get approval from the zoning administrator who will review the property and plans, to make certain all restrictions are'being met. Ruben Campos said he hopes the council sees this is more than just an issue about raising chickens. “It’s about being self-sus­ tainable and knowing where your food comes from. We can do our part. It’s impor­ tant, and we really hope you consider approving this ordi­ nance. It has been lots of work, and we believe it’s a great opportunity .for the community,” he said.

Longerterm fixed-rate vehicles may be tempting, as they typically offer higher rates than shorter-term ones, but these longer term investments may have more price fluctuation and inflation risk than short­ er-term investments. Consequently, you'll still likely need balance between short, intermediate, and long-term investments to provide for a portion of your income in retirement. Retirement can be a rewarding time in your life. And you can help make your retirement years even more enjoyable by understanding the relevant investment risks and taking steps to address them.

When you retire, you may well have accomplished some important financial goals, such as sending your children through college and paying off your mortgage. Yet, you can't relax just yet, because your retirement could easily last'two or three decades, which means you'll need at least two or three decades’ worth of income — which, in turn, means you’ll need the proper savings and investment strategies in place. And, just as impor­ tantly, you'll also need to be aware of the types of risk that could threaten these strate­ gies. Let's consider some of these risks: • Longevity — None of us can say for sure how long we’ll live. But it's still impor­ tant to have an estimate, based on your health and family history. So if you think you may live, for 25 years in retirement, you’ll want to withdraw enough from your investments each year to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle — but not so much that you deplete your funds before the 25 years have passed. • Inflation — We’ve expe­ rienced pretty mild inflation over the past few years. But over time, even a low rate of inflation can seriously erode your purchasing power. To illustrate: If your current monthly costs are $3,000, with only a 3% annual infla­ tion rate, that would be about $4,000 in 10 years. And in 25 years at that same rate, your monthly costs will have more than doubled, to about $6,200. To help protect your­ self asainst inflation risk, it's important to have at least some investments that offer growth potential, rather than only owning fixed-income vehicles, such as certificates of deposit (CDs). You'll also want consider sources of ris­ ing income potential, such as stocks. dividend-paying (Keep in mind, though, that stocks can reduce or discon­ tinue dividends at any time and are subject to market Auction and loss of princi­ pal..)

Otto’s is a sesquicentennial farm owned by the same family since 1846. Located just east of the Middleville village limits, the farm thrives today - processing about 20,000 birds annually. Cisler, now 79 years old, still works part-time at Otto’s — making deliveries, working the production line, weighing birds or doing whatever needs to be done. He started his lifelong ties to the family when he was only 8 or 9 years old. He did­ n’t know it at the time, but his first job for Oscar and Nettie Sherk would launch a multi-generational relation­ ship with the Otto turkey farming family. The Sherks had a turkey farm near Whitneyville Avenue and 108th Street. “I would go over after school and feed the turkeys and gather eggs. I don’t know, I guess I thought it was a pretty good job back then. They were neighbors. They needed help, and I needed a job,” he said. The Sherks had one daughter, Neva. She married Harold Otto and the two con­ tinued the Otto turkey farm, which already was estab­ lished in Middleville. Cisler continued working with Neva and Harold, hauling birds and delivering feed from his other job at Caledonia Farmer’s Elevator. Making Smart Money Choices with Your Money...

When Dave and Lorraine turned the farm over to their son Tom and his wife, Jerri, in 1984, it was a well-known fact that Cisler was still a valued employee. Today, Cisler works with the fifth generation of the Otto family tree — Tom’s son Nate. “I guess I’ve been around here a long time,’’ said 06794780 circle(h)»anch caledoniax_^/michigan LUXURY ALPACA PRODUCTS 100% Luxury Alpaca Yam • Unique Ranch Store Quality Alpaca Products • U.S.A.

He remembers making deliveries to the east side of the state six days a week when he was 18 years old. “It was a lot of hours and a lot of work, but I did it,” he said. Cisler didn’t always work for the farm, though. After graduating from Caledonia schools, Cisler worked for Caledonia Elevator, then served in the U.S. Army dur­ ing the Korean War. When he came out of the Army, he found a job a Steelcase where he remained employed for 37 years. But even during those years, he worked part-time for Otto’s. Now that he’s “retired” from Steelcase, he still hasn’t given up his job at the farm. “My folks taught me how to work, to be on time and do my best. I just love to work — I always have. I retired once. I’ll retire some day — probably in my grave,” said Cisler. These days, Cisler does pretty much whatever they need him to do on the farm. Mostly, he still makes deliv­ eries and he says it’s a job he still loves. “I’m thankful I can still work,” he said. Tom Otto says Cisler is a great employee. “We can’t say enough about him. He’s dependable, a mentor, a leader, a good worker — all the wonderful attributes of a human being.” Cisler admits he never dreamed his first job would lead to a lifetime of work within the same family farm. “Time goes so fast. One day you just realize it’s been a long time,” he said. Cisler said he’s happy he’s able to work and be a part of the farm. . “1 grew up on a farm. I just enjoy it — always have,” he said. “Hard work doesn’t hurt anybody.” Cisler and his wife, Mary Lou, have been married for 52 years. They have four children: Bob, Bill, Patty and Mary. Tom Otto said dedicated employees and loycal customers continue making the farm successful. “The community has really kept us going here. People come year after year to buy turkeys from us and we have very loyal customers,” said Tom. 10*1 J O’ in n } is» © • 1 is Call anytime for Sun & News classified ads 269-945-9554 Mas Ki.® Your local agent insures your O) Vin in Win “ Osa FARM BUREAU INSURANCE* 535 CotKfjafitf o Shaun Harding © •?w 616-891-1233 9028 N.

Briggs Rd. The announcement was made at the regular board meeting on Nov. 8 by Township Clerk Janice Lippert who will perform the swearing-in ceremony, Lippert was re-elected her­ self in the Nov. 6 general election and was sworn in by County Clerk Pamela Jarvis on Nov. 15. The new town­ ship board will begin its term of office on Nov. 20. Also on the agenda at the Nov. 8 meeting, was a report from Craig Stolsonburg, out­ going county commissioner for the Sixth District and chair of the Barry County Board of Commissioners. Stolsonburg reported that refunding the bonds issued for the Thornapple Manor renovations will save county taxpayers approximately $1.4 million over the life of the bond issue. Stolsonburg also reported that a contract is being worked out with the United Way to assume responsibili­ ty for the operation of the Barry County Department of Veterans Affairs. He observed that the United Way agency already provides many services to veter­ ans and the proposed $25,000 annual contract will save the county about $23,000 a year. year, Stolsongburg closed his remarks by pointing out that the county enjoys an AA bond rating, the highest bond rating available to small counties like Barry. While Stolsonburg will no ’ longer be representing District 6, he will be repre senting the northern portion of Yankee Springs as part of his new district. The adjust­ ment ment was was necessary necessary when when the board was reduced to seven seven members members following following the elimination of a district ।due to declining population demographics. Dave Middleton, director of Thornapple Township Emergency Services, reported that call volume hads con­ tinued to increase. He observed that the year-todate call volume for October of 2012 was 1.149 versus 1,083 in 2011. Of the increased 66 calls, 30 were in Yankee Springs. Responding to a query Supervisor from Al McCrumb about the distribution of the calls, Middleton said there were increases in all categories of service. The busiest months had been June and July. Having an ambulance at the Payne Lake Road fire bam has improved response times considerably, Middleton Middleton added added that that he he expects next year to be just as busy. busy. Scheduled Scheduled maintemainteas nanceon onall allvehicles vehiclesisisbeins being nance performed regularly, Middleton did call the board’s attention to one sta­ tistic that had surprised him: the increase in the rate of sui- cides and attempted suicides. There have been 60 attempts that are known and 19 occur­ rences. Middleton urged people to seek help, saying, ’’There is help out there in Barry County." Shelly Smith, community health outreach coordinator for the Barry-Eaton County Health Department, provided an update on her activities, involving initiatives with parks parksand andrecreation, recreation,tobacco tobacco policies, nutrition with the Pennock Pennock Be Be Healthy Healthy proprogram and the Complete Street program. The Complete Street program does not require any community to make any changes to streets immediately, but encourages them to consider the use of streets by other than motorized vehicles. Zoning Administrator Robert Lippert reported there had been seven site plan reviews in October. The FEMA update stood at 271 letters of map amendment. The matter of nonconform­ ing signs at the northeast cor­ ner of Patterson Avenue and M-179 was referred to the Zoning Board of Appeals by the Planning Commission for an interpretation of the ordinance. The commission agreed on 1,600 square feet for accessory buildings. The commission approved the from billing of $540 McKenna Associates, Associates, Inc.

McCrumb reported there were no problems with the water system and that a new three-year contract with the Gun Lake Area Sewer and Water Authority to manage the system was before the board. Trustee Mary Cook moved to approve the contract and it was passed on a 5-0 roll call vote. The new contract will run from rrom January 2013 to December 31,2015.

There was also concern over the disposal of concrete bumpers from the old parking lot. Schwennesen was assured they would be removed in the spring, "I am pleased with the adequate parkingfor the election, stated statedCook. Cook, “No election, one was parked on the side of the road." She moved to approve the payment of $57,665.31 to West Michigan Dirtworks and the motion was approved unanimously. McCrumb concluded his report with a letter from a resident on Oakwood Shores who expressed concern about drainage into Cobb Lake resulting, he thought, from recent work done by the Barry County Road Commission. Schwennesen, who inves­ tigated the issue, said the road commission had been doing routine maintenance on a ditch and that water from the ditch did go into the lake but it was not the responsibility of the commission. He thought the lake association was going to have to deal with an access point. Janice Lippert reported that the election had gone very well. There were 946 walk-in voters at Precinct One in the township hall and 388 absentee ballots for a total of 1.334 voters. In Precinct Two, at the Payne Lake Road fire bam, there were 716 walk-ins and 388 absentee ballots for a total of 1,104 voters. All told, 2,438 of the 3,349 registered voters in the township or approximately 72.7 percent of voters voted in the election. A1 Schwennesen, in the comment final period, thanked the board for the opportunity to serve. He had joined the board in July 2010 to fill a vacancy.

Carver’s son, Dane, died for something he believed was worth fighting for — America’s freedom. Dane Carver, a 2003 Thornapple Kellogg High School graduate, died Dec. 26, 2005 in Operation Iraqi Freedom. When his father, Don, spoke to TK high school students and the community Monday during the Veterans Day program, he said he hoped he got one message across to students. “I want them to appreciate what they have here — their education and their opportu- ?) 1 i'" fcl nities,” said Carver, Dane was very positive about what he was fighting for and why he was doing it. He saw the good things we have and he wanted others to be able to have that too.” In his emotion-filled speech to the student body, Carver told students that the last time his son was home, in October 2005, he told his father about his commitment and how much it meant to him when little kids came up in the streets of Iraq and hugged or grabbed his legs playfully. “He really believed in 99 what he was fighting for, 64 said Carver. “Soldiers fight it* i I I John Rodgers plays taps for the Caledonia American Legion Veterans Day event. for freedoms every day.” TKHS band director Ray Rickert remembered Dane as a student and friend. “We must honor and thank them every day, not just on Veterans Day,” said Rickert. “We can’t forget the sacrifices so many have made.” The symphonic band played a special selection called “Lest We Forget,” played for the first time in 2006 to honor Dane. Pictures of Dane Carver as a happy Phil Shook offers the salute to the Fallen Veterans Memorial outside the Caledonia American Legion Post, high schooler and later as a National Guard Specialist flashed on a big screen while the^band played, Rickert struggled to con­ trol his emotions during the ceremony. “Dane's death was a life changing experience,” stated Rickert. “I was very close to Dane.

After they were introduced one-by-one, the veterans were given a standing ovation by the more than 1,000 students and community members in attendance. Following the ceremony, the veterans were treated to lunch at the school.

Dylan Wielenga, a junior, said he, too, might not have thought about Veterans Day much a few years ago. . “I think it was really good,” said Wielenga, “it’s good to hear there stories.” High School principal Tony Koski said he was thrilled with the student response during the assembly. 66 The students were wonderful,” said Koski. “"They They acted with respect and honored our guests. You could have heard a pin drop during the assembly.

Election transition alters county board agenda by Doug VanderLaan Editor Lame duck status took hold at Tuesday's Barry County Board of Commissioners meeting and all eight members — even the five who’ll be departing with the upcoming new year — felt its effect. After having interviewed and recommended for approval the appointment of nine citizens to county board committees at last week’s committee of the whole meeting, the commission tabled the action Tuesday, following direction from Board Chair Craig Chair Stolsonburg and County Administrator Administrator Michael Michael Brown. * “This current board does not have the authority to appoint members to terms that begin in the next board’s term, term,”” explained explained Brown, Brown. 44 “The The process process is is designed designed so so that that the the current current board board does does the the advertising, advertising, does does the the interviewing and includes the new commissioners in that interview, which they attended. It then gets held until the new board gets seat­ ed, and one of the first items of business is to appoint those members, “Now, the new board could choose to accept the recommendations and appoint those folks. They could could choose choose not not to to accept accept therecommendations and the recommendations and not appoint appointthose those folks and and not do do something something different. different. The The thought is that, as long as ।everyone (new and present ’ ’ is included ........... 9 commissioners) they’re familiar and, at an early meeting in the new year, they can appoint those folks and there’ll be no inter­ ruption in service.” Brown went on to explain that the advertising, interviewing and appointment process involves involves asas much much asas process two .two months months' ’ time. time. To To delay delay' that process process until until after after the the that seating of of aa new new commission commission seating would create a significant hardship for committees awaiting the appointment of new members. The Barry County Road Commission, with three members, was used as an example. With the expiration of Chairman Frank Fiala's term Dec. 31, a delay of reappointment — for which Fiala interviewed at last week’s committee of the whole meeting — will be inevitable pending approval from the new board at an early January meeting. Without having conducted the interview and a present board's recommendation, the delay could leave the road commission with just two members until March. The other appointment recommendations made last week are Sharon Zebrowski to the Charlton Park Village and Museum^Board and the re-appointments of Janet Lydy, Dave Logan and Rick Moore to the same board. Also affected are the re­ appointments of David Tripp to the Barry County Building Authority, Kenneth Radant to the Barry County Transit Board, and Don Bowers and Robert Nelson to the Barry County Commission on Aging Board. The newly constituted board, which will consist of incumbents Stolsonburg, Ben Geiger and Howard “Hoot” Gibson and the newly elected Jim DeYoun cr Jim Dull, Jon Smelker and Joyce Snow, can take imme­ diate action on the appoint­ ments at the new board's organizational meeting or at a special meeting following its opening committee of the whole meeting scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 8. “That means new commis- sioners could have three meetings the first day,” cracked Geiger. in other business, the board: • Approved an increase of $300 in cash drawer funds for the county clerk's office, allowing audit-recommend­ ed efficiency in making change change for foroffice office customers. customers, • Approved home repair bid bid funds funds of of $29,580 $29,580 to to McKeough Brothers LLC for a home at 435 W.

Funds for the circuit court program will be supplemented by a grant from the Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance program. • Approved the contract renewal of Debra Kruse, an instructor in the Office of Community Corrections. • Approved an application for additional credited service outgoing allowing Prosecutor Tom Evans to purchase five years of credited service through the Municipal Employees' Retirement System. • Awarded a five-year auditing services contract to Rehmann Robson for annual fees ranging from $30,200 in fiscal year 2012 to $34,000 for the year ending in December 2016. the 2013 health insurance plan for county employees s recom­ mended by the Barry County Healthcare Cost Containment Committee. • Approved the appoint­ ment of Fred Kibler to fill the remainder of a three-year term that began Jan. 1 on the agricultural preservation board. • Approved transfers and disbursements totaling in $45,199 claims, $8,400,250 in pre-paid invoices, and $8,050 in com­ missioner payroll. In response to a concern from Geiger about the unusually high pre-paid invoice figure, Brown responded that $5,667,439 was a payment from the county’s trust and agency fund, over $4 million of which was forwarded to the state as a collection on the 6-mill state education tax, assessed as a property tax each summer. Additionally large payments of $1.3 million went to the Thomapple Manor Fund and $797,000 to the Thomapple Manor Building Authority Fund. • Received a request from Baltimore Township resident Don Bradstreet that the com­ mission place his request for appointment to a Climate Adaptation Planning Committee on an upcoming county commission agenda. The proposed committee would work with the MSU Extension office and climate scientists to accumulate data for a summary report of community recommendations to meet long-term climate change. Bradstreet also informed commissioners that he attended a Nov. 9 meeting of the Barry County Solid Waste Management Committee which failed to produce a quorum of com­ mittee members. Bradstreet urged commissioners to con­ sider means by which they could help ensure quorum attendance at committee meetings, The county board will meet next for a committee of the whole session Tuesday, Nov. 20, in the chamber meeting room at the county courthouse beginning at 9 a.m. Ok 1 VISA �\ *\ I » CQ5S ss * i'l* v kA <K kX :'C U. i ?

He was re-elected to a four-year term as a trustee earlier this month and had said he was looking for­ ward to serving his commu­ nity again. Township Supervisor Don Boysen said Harrison’s death is a big loss. “He will obviously be missed a great deal,” said Boysen. “We really treas­ ured his friendship and input on the township board. It was a big shock and a big loss.” Harrison had served on the township board for 10 years. He was a 1960 Thornapple Kellogg High School graduate and lived in the township most of his t I.js a .. toe 4 I adult life. He was a member of the Parmalee Methodist Church and a member of the Township Thornapple Planning Commission. He retired from Steelcase in 1999, after working there 34 years.

During the Caledonia Township Board meeting Wednesday, Township Supervisor Bryan Harrison said he had received an email from MDOT regardin e>o the possibility of a study. According to Harrison, who periodically conducts a personal survey of about 1,000 township residents, in this year's survey, residents overwhelmingly said the intersection of 84th and M­ 37 was the most important * issue in Caledonia. Harrison shared with the board an email that he and Jerry Bryne, from the Kent County Road Commission, received from Dennis Kent, MDOT region traffic plan­ ner, Nov. 21. Kent wrote, “Based on recent observations of traffic patterns and discussion with the Kent County Road Commission, MDOT has requested a full traffic survey of the M-37 at 84th Street intersection from the MDOT Central Office, Traffic Study Division ... Timing of the on study will depend resource availability and currently studies other J* underway statewide.

Two properties will be needed for the containment sites, one of about 2 acres at the south end of the lake and a second of about 4.5 acres on the north end. Township officials said the only way to permanently fix the problem is to create the drainage districts and to control the water runoff to the lake. The county drain commission will establish the public hearings and provide notices to all affected property owners. Boysen said this is something the township has been working on for more than two years and he’s glad to see it finally get to this point. is working with the Barry County Drain Commission to establish the drains, to identify the properties that will be affected, and to set up a hearing of necessity. He said the Drain Commission will also be responsible for determining the degree of benefit to each affected property and how much each will be assessed for the district.

The township board recently discussed creation of two drainage districts for the lake area and the estab­ lishment of new county drains. Within those districts, the township may purchase two containment sites to capture water runoff, allowing for controlled releases to the lake without flooding prop­ erties.

Following a presen­ tation and discussion input from church representatives, commissioners voted 6-0 to issue a special use permit to the Spirit of Life Lutheran Church. The church has pur­ chased a 4.25 acre site that is currently zoned Rural Residential. According to planner Lynee Wells, churches are allowed as a special use in the zoning dis­ trict. She observed that approval of the SUP would be a first step to be followed by a review of the final site plan. Discussion focused < on the site plan which calls for a driveway onto 76th Street. Archie Warner, chair of the commission, observed that the driveway did not line up with a driveway on the north side. He also said that the conditions of the Cherry Valley Overlay District applied. Warner also expressed concerns about materials and colors. The overlay district specifies a preference for natural materials and primarily earth tone colors. The preliminary site plan called for the use of cement-fiber board and stone veneer and the ordinance currently does not list the cement-fiber board as an acceptable prod­ uct. Commissioner Don Koopmans, however, point out out that that cement-fiber cement-fiber board board actually is a product superior to to wood. wood. Additional quesques­ tions of of the the preliminary preliminary site site tions plan also concerned parking which is planned for the front of the church, thus fac­ ing M-37. The overlay dis­ trict limits front parking to no more than 40 percent of the total parking area. Warner's recommendation that the parking be moved to the rear of the church drew the objection that people would not park in back and walk around to the front of the church to enter the build­ ing. ing. The The church church also also has has an an agreement agreement with with the the Kent Kent County Parks Department to allow allow'’four of its spaces to the east to be used for access to a park, As part of the pub­ lic hearing on the request, Philip Stiefel, president of the congregation, said that only worship activities were planned for the site. He said approximately 75-80 people attend a Sunday worship service and there are no plans to to add add aa day day care care cencenplans ter. its Following e approval of the SUP, the commission moved on to consider an amendment to the Crossroads Planned Unit Development. According to a letter from tow nship attor­ ney James Brown, the amendment would lift some age-related restrictions on the sale of residences within the development and resolve a complaint against the township township by by the Fair Housing Center of West Michigan, Commissioner Kelly Cavanaugh observed that the removal of age restrictions appeared to be meant to comply with the requirements of the Federal Fair Housing Act. The age restrictions were part of a consent judgment in 2004 and were retained when the consent judgment was replaced by the PUD ordinance. The restrictions required that two-thirds of the units be restricted for sale to persons aged 50 or older, rental properties.

Forum will discuss recycling options for Barry County The Barry County Solid Waste Oversight Committee invites county residents and community leaders to attend a recycling forum Thursday, Nov. 29, at 7 p.m. at the 3 Commission on Aging, 320 W. Woodlawn Ave. in Hastings. In August, the SWOC contracted staff from Michigan Alternative and Renewable Energy Center at Grand Valley State University to compile a com­ prehensive report outlining existing recycling programs used by county residents, the programs’ effectiveness and gaps, or areas in the county having limited or no recy­ cling options. The forum will provide information from this report and identify elements of and funding sources for recycling programs in other Michigan counties of similar size and nature, said Kim Walton, MAREC program director. She also will seek public input on how to support sus­ tainable and affordable recy­ cling services throughout the coUnty‘‘There is no disagreement that recycling is an important issue in iarry County — most people and local offi­ cials would like to see more recycling," said Walton. 44 The catch is how to pay for it.” Two pieces of state legis­ lation allow for billin; homeowners for recycling on property taxes, but other fundling ^eJs als? are _US®d in Michigan, she said. However, with the condition, elected officials are reluctant to enact any type of fee that is not supported by residents of the county, said Walton. The goal of this study will be to identify the preferred recycling model and funding options to pay for it.

It is a time to thank and acknowledge the par­ ents, those who are adopting the kids. I know my son is lucky that we adopted him. by David DeDecker Staff Writer Families and court offi­ cials gathered in Barry County Circuit Court to cele­ brate the adoption of four children and other recent adoptions Nov. 19, National Adoption Day. For District Court Judge Michael Schipper of Middleville the day w^s especially meaningful. Schipper and his two sib­ lings were adopted, as was his oldest son is adopted. Monday, as Barry County District Court Judge, Schipper presided over adop­ tions for the special day. “Adoption Day should be the celebration of what a wonderful thing adoption is for the kids being adopted and the parents who are get­ ting these great kids,” said “When you give a child up for adoption because you’re not prepared or ready to be a parent, I think it is the most self­ less demonstration of ultimate love.” Judge Michael Schipper but we are so much more lucky to be blessed with him.” Schipper thanked Circuit shear pleasure Stop in for some great gift ideas! k Gift Certificate^ HAIR DESIGNERS Always Available HAIR CUT PERM •- COLOR •- NAILS HAIR CARE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY V I 122 E.

Schipperalso thanked Probate Court Judge William Doherty for allowing him to oversee adoptions of a young boy and his family, and another family that was adopting three young children. Schipper acknowledged those in the room who were adopted, and expressed his opinion on how special adoption is for the children and families. “I think it is neat to see how many people are adopt­ ed. It is far more common than most people know,” said Schipper. “In our little neighborhood of 15 houses, three families have adop­ tions.” Schipper said National Adoption Day should be a chance for expectant teenagers to see that adop­ tion is a great option. “I think too often today, when a girl chooses to put a child up for adoption, she is questioned and looked down upon for giving the child up,” Schipper said. “I think it’s the exact opposite. When you give a child up for adop­ tion because you’re not pre­ pared or ready to be a parent, I think it is the most selfless demonstration of ultimate love. I don't believe it is because you don’t love the child. I think it is because you love the child so much that you know what is best, even though the decision is very painful.” “We need to convey this to the public and to the 14- or 15-year-old girls that adop­ tion is a great option, Schipper said. Started in 2000, National Adoption Day is a collective national . effort to raise awareness of the more than 100,000 children in foster care waiting to find perma­ nent, loving families. This year the National Adoption Day Coalition expected 4,500 children in foster care to join permanent families on National Adoption Day.

In the past few weeks, as we've appealed for your help wifh a voluntary subscription program that will help us maintain free circulation of the Reminder, the Maple Valley News, the Lakewood News, and the Sun and News, your response has been heartwarming. ¥ *• 1 Not only did readers who understand the dire challenges facing newspapers in every community in America send or drop off their checks and cash, more importantly they took the time to tell us how they value the papers that come to them free each week. Everyday they continue to provide their financial assistance and written suggestions. I That was a daunting challenge to us. Other than comments from readers who might be personally involved in a news article, we seldom hear from the wide community as we did in this voluntary subscription project in terms of how we are doing our job. The greatest fear for us was that no one would respond, that public apathy may indeed be causing the demise of the printed word. Not in Barry County and the neighborhoods that border if. 4 ’We're happy to help, the Reminder has been an important part of our lives for many years,' wrote one reader. Another even helps our papers go nationwide. From left, Stephen Jacobs, John Jacobs, Fred Jacobs. * I read the Reminder as I travel on the airplane,' she said, "and many people ask to read it after I'm done.' We received hundreds of comments like that one, most that came in with a check. Newspaper polling firms tell us that a 1% return on a request for reader input or assistance is an average response rate. Ours exceeded 10% and our newspaper colleagues are astounded by our response. We're not. We know our readers value our papers and your assistance in the voluntary subscription project has helped us reach these conclusions and considerations of even more reader-suggested changes: »• - • Our readers value our free circulation service and are willing to give with they can to help us maintain it. We wish we would have raised more wifh the voluntary subscription request but, this year, it's enough to help us maintain operations as they are. j • Several suggestions were made that we combine the Sun and News, the Lakewood News, and the Maple Valley News info the paid-circulation Hastings Banner and sell it for $1. That may be a viable solution in the future. H H • Readers value county news but really appreciate even more local coverage. We're seeking part-time reporters who may be interested in helping provide news and photos in Delton, Lakewood, and Caledonia, especially. I J • We're preparing a detailed analysis of our reader responses. Though we're not certain how those will be reported, we'd like interested readers to see them, either as part of the newspaper or part of a separate report that would be available upon request. ' ' 'wKhLIMM A’ We've always believed that a newspaper is a part of the community. Our voluntary subscription request has brought the community to us.

(Photo by Perry Hardin) by Brett Bremer Sports Editor In the state semifinals, it doesn’t take much of a mis­ take for an opponent to make you pay. Muskegon scored on the opening kick-off to the sec­ ond half, then added two long touchdown runs in the fourth quarter to stymie the Caledonia varsity football team’s come-back bid in the second half of Saturday’s Division 2 State Semifinal at Baldwin Middle School in Hudsonville. The Big Reds advanced to this weekend’s Division 2 State Final at Ford Field, against Birmingham Brother Rice, by scoring a 34-21 win over the Fighting Scots. Caledonia scored two touchdowns in the final eight and half minutes of the sec­ ond half to dig out of a 2I-0 hole, but the Big Reds scored on a 60-yard touchdown run by John King 11 seconds into the fourth quarter. Muskegon then quickly answered a 23-yard touchdown pass from Ryan Zoet to Heath Hoogerhyde with an 85-yard touchdown run by Jalen Smith. “Muskegon just has so many athletes, when you make one little mistake it’s six points," said Caledonia head coach Steve Uy J. Despite a couple little mis­ takes, Uyl was very proud of his football team. The Scots never gave up and never backed down. ' Sherman Hodges' 79-yard kick-off return for a touchdown to start the second half put his team up 21-0. The Bi Reds Scored first half touchdowns on a 7-yard run by E'monte Briggs and a 29yard run by Marcus Smith. Caledonia responded to that kick-return touchdown with a drive that ended in a 10-yard touchdown run by quarterback Zoet with 8:27 left in the third quarter. A 31yard touchdown pass from Zoet to Hoogerhyde with 157 left in the third quarter, and the second of three extra-point kicks by Joel Wenk, made the scored 21­ 14. It wasn’t just the big plays of the Big Reds' talent skill position players that hurt the Scots though. Uyl said that the Big Red defense took away the Scots ability to run the football for much of the afternoon, and it was the big, physical lineman who really wore down his Scots in the end. Caledonia managed to rush for just 121 yards. Zoet led the way with 16 carries for 74 yards. Hoogerhyde had 13 carries for 30 yards. They were a solid connec­ tion in the passing game though. Zoet his Hoogerhyde six times for 117 yards and the two touchdowns. Isaac Andrusiak added three catch­ es for 49 yards and Garrett Hubbell had two catches for 22 yards. . Muskegon's offensive Muskegon's attack was led by quarterback Jalen Smith, who rushed 24 times for 148 yards, and John King Jr., who had nine rushes for 141 yards. Smith was just l-of-3 passing for five’yards. Hoogerhyde led the Caledonia defense, with ten tackles. Adam Walma had eight, and Logan Soule and Tanner Ellens chipped in seven each. The Scots end the year with a 9-4 record.

Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and Barry County. * Woman charged with animal cruelty is sheriff’s special advisor <1 r -** I nkfif I _ «T- *2^ *4 MJf <r * •» 4 J fflI A ’ f I by David DeDecker Staff Writer Tepper of Marcia Middleville, the center of an alleged animal cruelty case, was released over the week­ end on a $100 bond, accord­ ing to Barry County District Court records. Tepper had a warrant out for her arrest and turned her­ self in to authorities. She has 10 days to arrange an appear­ ance for arraignment on a charge of animal cruelty. Her alleged involvement in the animal cruelty charges came to light in April of this year when her home on Finkbeiner Road between m37 and Cherry Valley Avenue was sold following a foreclosure. When the new owner arrived to take posses­ sion of the house in mid­ October, he found the floors covered in dog feces, and dead animals on the premises. The new owner said he will have to demolish the 10year-old house because the damage to the interior is so extensive. Tepper is a special deputy advisor to Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf and for the City of Hastings. A November 2010 oath of office signed by both Tepper and Leaf stipulate her “com­ mission is valid only when the above-named officer is temporarily engaged in the performance of duties as a member of [Barry County] Animal Control and under the direction of the sheriff or his duly authorized represen­ tative.” A second oath of office taken by Tepper stated she will “faithfully discharge the duties of the Office of Animal Control Shelter Board.” ’ Sheriff Leaf said in a telephone interview Tuesday that Tepper came highly recommended for her work with animals in Ionia County and for reducing the euthanizing rate in that county. “We don’t know if she was euthanizing dogs at her house,” said Leaf. “We are still investigating, and the dead animals have been sent to a lab at MSU.” Also Tuesday, during its committee of the whole meet­ ing, the Barry County Board of Commissioners, at the request of the Barry County Animal Shelter Advisory Board, approved a motion to recommend and request that the Michigan State Police take over investigation of the Tepper case. The motion was passed by a 6-2 vote, with commissioners Dan Parker dissent­ and Howard Gibson dissenting. Shelter Advisory Advisorv board chair Kathy Wiggins said her board board was was making making the the recrec­ ommendation ommendation due due to to the the conconflict of interest created by appointment of Leaf's appointment Tepper. Commissioner Robert Houtman, who also holds a seat on the advisory board, said that besides the conflict of interest mentioned by Wiggins, the county board members also needed to be concerned whether animals from the Barry County shelter were among those that were abused or neglected and whether controlled sub­ stances from the Barry County facility were used to ' euthanize the animals, 1Gibson, said he was voting _ against the motion because he trusts the sheriff’s,depart- Battle those low rates - with three types of income If you depend on fixedincome investments for at least part of your income, you prob­ ably haven't been too happy in recent years, as interest rates have hit historic lows. Nonetheless, even in a low-rate environment, you can broaden the income-producing .potential of your investment portfolio. However, before takingb action, it's helpful to know what the near-term direction of interest rates may look like. The Federal Reserve has stated that it plans to keep short-term rates at their current historic lows until at least mid-2015. The Fed doesn’t control long­ term rates, making them some­ what less predictable, but it’s still likely that these rates will rise sooner than short-term ones. In any case, rather than worry about something you can’t control - that is, interest rate movements - try to focus on those things you can accom­ plish. And one achievable goal is to create an investment mix that includes three types of income: variable, reliable and rising. • Variable income invest­ ments - Some variable income investments, such as certifi­ cates of deposit (CDs), offer significant protection of principal, and the value of your ment. • Parker said he didn’t want to give the impression that the commissioners commissioners did did not not the sheriff ’s depart ­ itrust the “ ' “ ment. ' Retired sheriff’s deputy and current commissioner Don Nevins said that it was not a matter of trust. “I got nothing against the sheriff's department. They got good investigators down there,” he said. “[But,] by the sheriff making that appoint­ ment, he could be involved in that investigation, too, or interviewed. I think it would be a good idea that the Michigan State Police take over the investigation because the lady was employed by Ionia County, or was a volunteer there, too. I would think the sheriff’s department would feel a lot better having that taken out of their hands.” Leaf said the Barry County of Countv Board Commissioners does not have the authority to have the Michigan State Police take over the investigation of Tepper. u Our investigation is not a conflict of interest,” said Leaf. Reportedly, Tepper was struggling financially and allegedly euthanizing dogs at her home. The new owner said he found bags full of dead dogs on the property. If Tepper does not arrange for a court appearance within the prescribed 10 days, a sec- ond warrant will be issued for her arrest.

Of course, current rates are quite low, which means CDs provide you with little income today, but their rates have the potential to rise along with short-term interest rates. • Reliable income invest­ ments - When you purchase reliable income investments, which can include individual bonds, you have the opportunity to earn more income today, and more consistent income over time, than you'd typically get from variable income investments. However, you will likely also experience greater price price fluctuations fluctuations as as interest interest rates rates change. change. Specifically, Specifically, as as interest rates rise, the price of your existing bonds typically will fall, • Rising income investments - When investing for income, you’ll want to keep at least one eye on inflation - because if the interest rates paid on your CDs and individual bonds are lower than than the the annual annual inflation inflation rate, rate, you may lose purchasing power. If this gap persists over time, it could grow into a real problem for you. Consequently, you'll want at least some of your investment income to come from rising income •a .1 L I > A J775 •>1 * * r •l Santa Claus ■ •W r I A comes to 9 » r ■ 4 4. l & t w Middleville J 4* I 2012 % 4 *>' < g- Jr 4 Before Parade have breakfast / A -4 •e*~ with Santa at the v * a I / I» United Methodist Church X ■T «• 'x 1 from 8 am to 10 am r u Parade kicks off from McFall School, W Main St at 10:30 am and goes to Church St. After Parade visit with Santa in ' Stagecoach Park from 11 am to 12 noon i a t a i1 December 1 J .-JT- it r i 9 J A 9 A » " AJ T 4 1 06796399 I I* -A 4 I » investments, such as dividend­ paying stocks. Of course, not all stocks pay dividends, but with the help of your financial advisor, you can find compa­ nies that have paid - and even increased - their dividends for many years running. And if you don’t actually need the divi­ dends to supplement your cash flow, you can reinvest them to build your ownership stake in these stocks. Keep in mind, though, that companies can reduce or discontinue dividends at any time. Also, remember that stock prices will constantly rise and fall, so the value of your principal could decline. As you can see, all three types of income-producing investments - variable, reliable and rising - offer some benefits, along with some risks of which you need to be aware. But putting together a mix of these investments that’s appro­ priate for your individual needs, goals and risk tolerance may help you boost the productivity of the “income” portion of your portfolio - no matter what’s happening with interest rates, This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.

Saturday, November 24 2012 From Our Readers Local Citizens Speak Out On Issues Stray easily becomes part of the family To the editor: We saw the story of cats and kittens in the Reminder recently. I want to tell you about our Miss Kitty. During the last of August, this kitten came to us, so skinny her backbone and ribs were showing. We fed her on the porch, at first. We didn't know if she would stay. One night it was chilly, so we brought her in. She has been in the house since then. We love her and she loves us. Her toys are paper towel rolls and milk jug caps. She has a soda pop box she plays in. We laugh at her, and she is good for us. We enjoy her so much. People should either adopt or love their cats.

The announcement capped off a successful year for the school which has also been chosen as one of 100 best high schools in the state and one of 1,000 best high schools in the country. “It is a conference of pro­ fessional learning communi­ ties, of educators who have the same mission, values and goals,” Glazier told the board, adding that Caledonia has been involved for seven years. “It came at the right time for us. We were involved Gn changing our curriculum from the block system to the trimester systern. We were rewriting the curriculum.” The block system featured four classes of 90 minutes each in an 18-week semester for a total of eight classes over two semesters. The trimester system allows* 15 72-minute classes a year, Glazier said Caledonia is only the second high school in the United States chosen as a site for the conference. Continuing with its agen­ da the board approved two measures requested by finance director Sam Wright. The first is a resolution, approved annually, request­ ing that half of the school taxes be collected in July and December for the 2013-14 • # school year. The second item was a contract with the Byron Center Schools to pro­ vide training and repairs to school buses as needed at the Caledonia facility. The work would be billed at $38.75 per hour; Byron Center will be billed on a monthly basis. A contract with Rex Hansen to serve as the inter­ im principal at Kettle Lake Elementary School through the remainder of the school year was approved. He is a graduate of Grand Valley State University and has bachelor’s and master's degrees in educational leadership. He taught kindergarten, third and fourth grades in the Allendale school system for 22 years before becoming a principal for five years. He then served See CONFERENCE, pg. 3 Governor Snyder tours Bradford White facility Welcome to Middleville The LED sign at the southeast corner of Main Street and M-37 is working with mes­ sages announcing upcoming events, welcoming visitors to Middleville and displaying the time and temperature.

Michigan Main Street was formed in 2003 and provides consulting services to up to three communities per year that commit to the four-point approach. That approach includes design, organiza_ _ tion, promotion and economic restructuring. Fleury said making the application does not commit the village to being part of the program and does not ensure the state will accept the village as a partner mem­ ber. “They could turn us down, or we could turn them down,” she said. If the village is accepted as an associate member, the Main Street organization will be formed to stimulate eco­ nomic development and his­ toric preservation in the downtown. The Main Street area will not include the entire DDA area — only the traditional Main Street areas. “I think any ideas on how to better our downtown area — any little help we can get — seems like it would be a good thing.

Time to discuss details further will be available at the Dec. 4 committee of the whole meeting before formal adoption of the budget and millage rates is anticipated at the Dec. 11 council meeting.' The 2013 budget, for the first time in many years, does not contain any deficits in any fund. Village manager Rebecca Fleury admits the budget is tight and there isn’t a lot of room for extra expenses. The village has been under a deficit elimination plan for the general fund, and the major and local street funds for the past few years. In 2012, the local street fund was solvent and, in 2011, the general fund became solvent, Fleury said this is the first time in many years no funds are projected with deficits, She said 2013 is the last year the village will be required to submit a deficit elimination plan to the state. But the budget came under scrutiny by Lutz Sue Reyff. Reyff asked why there were no funds budgeted in the manager's budget for and why attorney fees Fleury was increasing the state shared revenue amounts. Fleury said there are monies budgeted for the attorney in other funds and that the state shared revenue figures are taken directly from the state’s website, Reyff also questioned salary increases for employees. She was reminded that a year ago the council approved a 3 percent pay increase for employees who had not seen any wage increases for the previous three years. Fleury said the pay hikes were given in only part of of 2012, so the the 20 2013 part 2012, so 13 budget is the first year to reflect aa full year of reflect full year of the the salary increases. In some cases, employee wages are split between two Caledonia American Legion #305 Friday, December 7,2012 All-You-Can-Eat FAMOUS LEGION d FISH FRY?

Other employees also have their salaries split between more than one department. Lutz said she found it very confusing and wants to see current wages for each employee without having to flip back and forth to different pages to add salary totals, "I would like it spelled out more definitely," she said. Reyff also questioned the $18,000 increase for the police department. "That’s a u:r> increase *—for f---------------big one year, ’’ she said. . Fleury reminded council members that much of that increase is in salary and ben­ efit costs for the officers. Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf attended the last committee of the whole meeting to justify increases in the police budget for the village, With increased health costs, as pensions and wages required, the department needs about an additional $18,000. Middleville con­ tracts with the sheriff’s department for three full­ time officers assigned to the village. The 2013 projected budget estimates total revenues of $1,114 million with total expenses of $1,112 million. That leaves the village with an estimated $2,505. Overall, the budget esti­ mates about a 6 percent increase in projected rev­ enues even though real and personal tax revenues are expected to decrease. The millage rate is expect­ ed to remain the same at 12.5 mills. That is broken down into 10.5 mills for the general fund and 2 mills for streets.

Rodriguez said the football team had not been seen as a playoff contender by many observers at the beginning of the season but had performed well in getting to the semifi­ nals before being defeated by Muskegon. He congratulated coaches, saying that awards had been received by many. He noted that winter sports had begun with a basketball game going on in the gymna­ sium that evening. Concerts were also scheduled. Regarding the state legis­ lature, Rodriguez said the education community was watching three bills to see what the impact might be. He said he did not know yet how they might affect the district. Two of the bills are spon­ sored by Caledonia Rep. Lisa Lyons, and the third is sponsored by Sen. Phillip Pavlov. The measures appear to cre­ ate a new structure to oversee education in the state. Rodriguez concluded his report, saying, “How do we lead the change, rather than legislators?” -/ Mike Patterson said he had attended a sales confer­ ence about health care and the changes from a fee-forservice system to a value­ based approach; in his view, the same kinds of changes, are happening in education, Board members saluted outgoing fellow board memDavid Nemmers. ber Patterson said Nemmers and his wife. Sue, had taken on the challenge of providing a home for their nieces and a nephew whose parents had died. Nemmers previously said he made the decision not to run for another term on the board because he felt he needed to invest the time and energy in his family. “Thank you for the opportunity to serve," Nemmers said Tuesday. “The adminis­ tration ...

Since 2009, the Barry County Chamber of Commerce has honored exemplary local leaders through the internationally recognized ATHENA Award program with both the ATHENA Leadership Award for accomplished leaders and the ATHENA Young Professional Award for aspiring leaders. An independent ATHENA review committee recently accepted and con­ sidered all nominations for both awards taking into con­ sideration the many accom­ plishments of an ATHENA leader including excellence in their field, providing valu­ able service to their commu­ nity and for serving as a role model to women in the attainment of professional goals and leadership skills. * The committee also rec­ Lea ognized Shauna Swantek, Executive Director of Putnam District Library as the 2012 ATHENA Young Professional Leader for Barry County. "The ATHENA review committee put great thought and discussion -into their decision to honor Rebecca and Shauna as well-deserved ATHENA Award recipi­ ents,” said Valerie Byrnes, Chamber President. “All the nominees presented to the committee are worthy and amazing leaders within Barry County and I think I speak for all the committee members when I say it is a humbling process to read the stories behind those that serve in leadership roles within our community. ATHENA The Leadership Model is the guiding mechanism in con­ sidering nominees for the ATHENA Award recogni­ tion.

Middleville village event coordinator Jean Lamoreaux nominated Fleury for the leadership award, Fleury was hired by the Village of Middleville in January 2010. Village zoning administra­ tor Catherine Getty's nomi­ letter nation support expressed that "in my opin­ ion she is the perfect candidate for the ATHENA Award fully representing the highest level of professional excellence, a strong commit­ ment of her time and energy to iimproving the quality of life for Middleville residents, while encouraging those around her to reach their full leadership potential as well." Fleury received her mas­ ters of public administration degree in local government from Western Michigan University while working 5* 5 Bryanwood Estates, said he's adamantly opposed to chickens on residential lots. "This is not a farm animal maintained community,” Ciluffo. “I came to the vil­ lage because I liked what the city had to offer as a resi­ dence. I like what Bryanwood has to offer and 1 believe it was never the intention of the builders and the developers to allow farm animals.” Ciluffo presented the council with 1997 building and use restrictions for Bryanwood Estates. Those restrictions state, "No ani­ mals, other than ordinary house pets , shall be permit­ ted on any lot." ' Another restriction states "No building shall be located on any residential building plot nearer than 30 feet to any side street lot line. No building shall be located nearer than 7 feet to an inte­ rior side lot line; the total of both interior side lot lines shall be 14 feet or more. Nor shall any building be located nearer than 25 feet to the rear lot line. Minimum front yard setbacks shall be 30 feet." Those restrictions would be different than the restric­ tions within the chicken ordinance. Ciluffo said the building and restrictions run with the lots unless a majority of the owners agree to changes, Roberta Meeker also said she was opposed to allowing chickens. do not want I Middleville to become a said farming community Meeker. “You can get all kinds of fresh eggs.

"That's 16 chickens that could be surrounding your yard," pointed out Schellinger. Council member Joyce Lutz argued the chickens will be less intrusive than dogs. "Right now homes can have up to three dogs - any size,” said Lutz. “So you could have up to 12 large dogs beside you. Three barking dogs could be much more disturbing than a num­ ber of chickens.” She suggested people go visit areas where chickens are being kept before making a decision. You don't even know that they’re there," she added. Council members opted not to vote on the matter after the public hearing. They will discuss the issue again at their Dec. 4 committee of the whole meeting that starts at 4:30 p.m. At that meeting council members may rec­ ommend a vote on the issue at their Dec. 11 council meeting that starts at 7 p.m. II Call 945-9554 for Sun & Nows classified ads ter 08° 1 Saturday Hours Professional Services!

Responding to the need of low-income families, Ascension Lutheran Church in Kentwood opened a Diaper Depot in October and is letting area residents know of its service. "There is a great need for diapers in our area," said Shirley Neitzel, volunteer for the Diaper Depot. “They are often a strain on the family’s budget since they cannot be bought with food stamps, and a clean diaper makes for a happier, and healthier, baby." The Thrivent Financial for Lutherans Foundation recently awarded a $5,000 "Economic Outreach Bridge Grant" to help support the Diaper Depot. The funding was awarded to Ascension based on its demonstrated effectiveness in addressing basic needs of the local community. The Diaper Depot provides diapers at no charge to needy families for chil- dren up to age three, Ascension Lutheran Church has also elected to participate in a complemen­ tary two-to-one challenge grant program sponsored by the Foundation. From now until March 31, 2013, every dollar raised from donors will be ’’matched" by an additional 50 cents by the Thrivent Financial for Lutherans Foundation — up to $5,000 -- in support of the Ascension Diaper Depot ministry. "Buying in quantity, each diaper costs about 15 cents," Neitzel said, "so, each dime we raise, with the matching funds from Thrivent, will buy one. We call it Dimes for Diapers." Those wanting to make donations can contact the Diaper Depot at 616-4558108. The Diaper Depot is open the first Thursday of the month from 6 to 8 p.m. and on the third Wednesday of the month from 10 a.m. to noon. Ascension is located at 2627 44th Street, across from Crestwood Middle School. ’’During the first two months, we’ve given out more than 150 packages of said diapers,"’’ Judy Magnuson, church secretary, "I’ve also gotten calls from local agencies, ACCESS, Kent County Head Start, and others asking for more infor­ mation for their clients - an indication this ministry will grow quickly as word spreads." Founded in 1982, the for Thrivent Financial Lutherans Foundation is a private foundation that oper­ ates exclusively for charita­ ble, educational and religious purposes. Information about the pro­ gram, how to participate or how to make donations, is available by calling 616-4558108. 4 $ rf'* I J ' 1 ft J 'W.q $ Band, quintet presenting free holiday concert Friday The Thornapple Wind Band will again be joined by the Coldwater Brass for its holiday concert Friday, Dec. 7, at 7:30 p.m. in the Hastings High School lecture hall.

If you find yourself coming up short when dealing with holiday expenses, you may be tempt­ ed to cash out at least a por­ tion of your long-term investments. But this should be avoided, for at least two reasons. First, depending on the account you're tapping into, you may face penalties, fees and taxes. Second, and perhaps even more importantly, you'll be depriving yourself of resources you had earmarked for your key goals, such as a comfortable retirement. Of course, you may eventually be able to —replace the funds you've withdrawn.

And while the holidays are joyous, they can also be expensive. In fact, at this time of year, many people make spending decisions they end up regretting. But you can enjoy the holidays and still stay on track toward your financial goals by following a few simple guidelines, including the following: • Set a budget — and stick to it. Whether you’re buying gifts or hosting holiday par­ ties, you need to establish a budget and not exceed it. The people to whom you're giv­ ing gifts and entertaining do not expect you to dig yourself into a financial ditch on their account — and they wouldn't want you to do so, either. • Compare prices. With some searching, you can almost always find less 1 4 ■ expensive versions of those gifts you’re considering. But a word of caution: The earliearli­ er you start hunting for barbar­ gains, the better better your your gains, the chances of finding good prices. prices. • Watch for “after-holiafter-holi­ day ” sales. The best bargains typically appear when the holidays are over. While these sales may not benefit you this year, they can prove quite valuable if you decide to “stock up" on gifts for the next holiday season. • Don't over-use your credit cards. Try to limit your credit card purchases over the holidays. If you must use a card, at least pick the one with the lowest interest rate — and do the best you can to pay off the card quickly.

The dog toys were made of strips of cut t-shirts, which were braided together, The catnip toys were made MM r»; nJ' »r Bobbie Paints If Interior Painting, Deck Staining Paper Hanging & Removal Hastings, Michigan w ■ Bobbie Taffee 269-838-7587 or 8£ 8 269-838-7588 o ■ । from fleece and catnip. During the Thanksgiving break from school, two Girl Scouts visited the animal control and presented the toys. The troop also typically donates a Thanksgiving meal to a local charity. This year, the trop decided to help local families that were in need of a warm meal. Families were chosen and each received a complete turkey dinner. Along with the meal, each family received a handwrit­ ten set of Thanksgiving recipes that the troop com­ pleted at one of their meet­ ings. In the spring, the troop plans to have a car wash and bake sale to raise funds for Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital.

However, in phone inter­ views with Brown and Michigan State Police Lt. Steve Harper, the Banner learned that only the county prosecutor or the Michigan Attorney General’s office may request the MSP to investigate a case. Contacted Tuesday, Barr) County Prosecutor Tom Evans expressed confidence in Leafs handling of the matter. Our office immediately issued charges w ith regard to (he neglected animals, and the defendant will be brought to court.’’ recounted Evans of the actions taken by his office following receipt of Leaf’s investigative report. “The reports I have show a diligent investigation. Our office will review any additional possible charges that are brought to us.” Some question, however, why no effort was made to determine how the dogs died and if illicit use of euthaniz­ ing drugs may have been involved. Leaf told the Banner last week that the bagged dead dogs had been sent to the MSU veterinary college for autopsies, but reversed that position on Tuesday. “We never sent the dogs to Lansing,’’ said Leaf. “We had asked that, and the pros­ ecutor’s office said ‘no.’ We tagged them and entered them as evidence, but [an assistant prosecutor] in the prosecutor’s offices said he didn't want them.” Evans said, “The initially seized deceased dog had a necropsy performed at [a local veterinary office).

We were informed by an officer on the scene, with regards to the deceased dogs found later, that they were very badly decomposed and were not suitable for necrop­ •• sy.

After the meeting, Howard Commissioner Gibson came to the Banner office to say there are no drugs at the animal shelter now and wondered how long it has been since a euthaniz­ ing drug suppl) was kept there According to the Animal Control office those drugs have not been on hand since mid-summer.

He maintained that the level of the charges and Tepper’s role as a volunteer — not a full-time employee — precludes any suggested involvement by the state police. “It’s over, this was just a misdemeanor,” said Leaf on Tuesday of the investigation. “Everyone’s concerned about this being a conflict of interest, but she was a volun­ teer, not a full-time employ­ ee. This comes down to a couple of commissioners wanting to try her in the commission chambers rather than a court of law.” Evans said commissioners have raised the question of conflict of interest with the Sheriff investigating Tepper, his hand-picked volunteer.

Winners in five different categories will be awarded cash prizes and certificates in the spring. “Competition and rewards shouldn’t just be the preroga­ tive of the athletes,” said Kensinger Jones. “Good writers should be recognized publicly, too.” Jones enjoyed a 50-year career as a writer of radio dramas, creative director for major international advertising agencies, author of numerous magazine articles and several motion picture scripts. In 1976 he “retired” to Barry County to raise Angus cattle and embark on what became a 14-year pro­ fessorship at Michigan State University. He and his wife, Alice, collaborated on two published books, and their work has appeared in the Reminder and the Hastings Banner.

After discussing possibili­ ties with Sheree Newell coordinator of the career fair, and, later, with Fred Jacobs of J-Ad Graphics and Bonnie Barry Hildreth of the Community Foundation, the Jounces decided to fund a pilot program for the 200304 school year. Jennifer Richards of the BCF organized a panel discussion with four representatives of the Community Foundation's Youth Advisory Council and a format was developed. The competition includes two separate contests, one for students in grades 9 and 10, the other for students in 9 grades 11 and 12. Freshmen and sophomores may submit a poem (preferably with rhyme and meter) or an essay. The contest for juniors and seniors invites submission of a short story (not more than 1,500 words) on any subject, a poem (preferably with rhyme and meter) or a feature story based on some aspect of life in Barry County. Writers may submit only one entry in each category, but may enter all categories for their grade level and could possibly win more than one award. The contest officially opens Dec. 3, after which full details and official rules and entry blanks may be obtained from the English at departments Delton Kellogg, Hastings, Maple Valley and Thornapple Kellogg high Schools and the BISD. Home-schooled students are also encouraged to apply and may obtain the entry form directly from the Barry Community Foundation. The closing date for submissions is Feb. 1, 2013. Winners will be announced in April. For more information stu­ dents should check with their high school English depart­ ments or call Jennifer at the Barry Community Foundation, 269-945-0526.

Mark Englerth urged collab­ oration as he challenged members of the five-person board to share their vision for the township, to listen to each other, and to work with the planning commission. Using a chart created by Zoning Administrator listing Lippert Robert strengths, goals, and committees needed to deal with concerns, each township official provided their per­ spective. ' Trustee Bruce Campbell who, with Englerth, makes up the board’s two new members, related his experi­ ence of moving from the corporate world to life now as the owner and operator of a restaurant and how it has provided him a business mentality. “Continuous improvement is my aim,” said Campbell, who added that he sees a need for closure and that the board tends to discuss issues for months without reaching a decision. Trustee Mary Cook, who was re-elected to her sixth term on the board, said peopie certainly had the oppor­ tunity to know her and that everybody who had served and who serves now as well as those who have run, have had the best interest of Yankee Springs at heart. She said she had worked at a variety of jobs and currently was a supervisor at the Barry county County commission Commission on Aging. She has also served as the liaison to the zoning board of appeals, Treasurer John Jerkatis, who begins his fourth term in office, said his family moved from Chicago to Yankee Springs in 1957 and that liv­ ing on a recreational farm gave him an appreciation for beauty, recreational opportunities and agriculture. He also said he strives to repre sent everyone equally. He added that a diversity of views was good because it means the board is not a rub­ ber stamp. Clerk Janice Lippert, a township resident for 21 years and in her 14th year as clerk, said she had moved here as the result of a job transfer for her husband. She said the township is a beauti- nity public use use of ofthe the nityevents, events, public ful place, and that she enjoys hall, hall, and andparks parksand andtrails. trails. the opportunity to serve peoJerkatis identified identified two two pie.

He con­ cluded by saying he expected the county would make a decision within the next four or five months.

The village received con­ firmation of a grant from the of Department Transportation with the fed­ eral and state governments paying for 95 percent of the eligible construction costs. The total estimated con­ struction cost is $1,758 mil­ lion. The village will pay for design and engineering costs expected to be about $80,000 and construction inspection and testing costs of about $109,000. In addition, it will pay 5 percent of the overall construction costs or about $87,900, according to the estimates. The village will have an estimated total cost of between $276,000 to $300,000. Preliminary construction work could start in late 2014 with the bulk of the project to take place in 2015. Roger Johr, with Williams and Works engineers, said one lane of the bridge will remain open during con­ struction. The village applied for the grant a year ago, but did not receive funding. Johr said a recent inspection of the bridge showed there was no significant change from a year ago, but that the bridge is deteriorat­ ing and in need of repairs. He said there was no need to reduce the load limits on the bridge at this time. The bridge has a 40-ton limit. He said school buses are typical­ ly about 12 to 15 tons and fire trucks are about 25 tons. He said it was good that the removed village the Bradford White trucks com­ ing through the village by opening the new Crane Road. He told council members to continue to be diligent in repairing sidewalks on the bridge, but wouldn't advise other repairs at this time. Johr said the new bridge will probably be about the same width for motor traffic, but the sidewalks will be widened for safer pedestrian and bicycle routes. According to Williams and Works inspection reports, the bridge was built in 1929 and, while it has served the community well for a number of years, deterioration by mostly natural forces and heavy traffic are beginning to take their toll on the structure. Williams and Works will continue working with the village to inspect the bridge before it is replaced.

Jerkatis said he would like a manual detailing whom a resident should see for information on a specific concern or how to get an issue resolved. Cook said there used to be a policy requiring agendas to be available a week before a meeting. She would like to return to that practice because it provides time for board members to find infor­ mation about unfamiliar agenda items. Janice Lippert said a sug­ gestion box was put out at tax time when many resi­ dents come to the hall. Englerth suggested usin oa the township website. The issue was referred to the pol­ icy and procedures commit­ tee, which will also look into changing the suggestion box and providing oversight to the website. Environmental concerns were raised by Englerth. who said there is a need to research them, especially what is going on with the state park. He cited several local business people who said said they they essentially essentially starve starve in in the the winter winter and and make make their their money money in in the the summer, summer. Englerth said the source of the E. coli, which led to beach closures, has not yet been identified. Janice Lippert said the township has never received a report about the E. coli problem in Gun Lake. Englerth also said he would like to know what the DNR plans to do about geese and mute swans. Despite communications to township officials saying that the wells installed by the DEQ to monitor a nated aquifer are not subject to monitoring by the township, the wells can be monitored by the township, Englerth said he wants an environmental committee to get busy on the concerns. “ We are a boat in the ocean,” said Englerth. We need to work with the health department. We need to do a better job working with the county. Take the Holly Trolley —they didn’t offer but we didn't ask. We need to ask for things.” Cook inquired about the status of buoys in Gun Lake and Cobb Lake. Janice Lippert said the buoys had arrived and w'ere being stored in the Payne Lake road fire barn and that Robert Lippert had applied for the permits to install them in the spring. 44 Following Englerth’s invitation for public comment, Cathy Strickland, a member of the planning commission, mentioned three issues: inclusion in a policy and pro­ cedures manual for use of the township hall, implementa­ tion of more and varied com­ munity events, and commu­ nity health as it relates to trails for joggers and bike paths for cyclists. Economic development was introduced by Paul Heystek, who said he was part of the Heritage Trails group exploring the idea of a corridor down M-179 from US-131 to Hastings because it represents an economic development opportunity, He said the group needed a township committee that included a board member. Englerth added that opportu­ nities for money, from MDOT and grants have been explored and he expects a presentation will be made in about 45 days. Janice Lippert suggested that Englerth and Campbell the Michigan attend Townships Association con ference for new officials in Kalamazoo on Dec. 19. A motion to approve an expen- diture of $458.00 was approved unanimously. A second motion motion to to approve second $5,000 for board members to attend the MTA annual con­ ference from Jan. 21 to 24 was also approved. The next regularly sched­ uled board meeting will be on Dec. 13 at 7 p.m. in the community room at the township hall, 284 North Briggs Road. The third annual joint meeting of the board and the planning commis­ sion will be held at 7 p.m. on Thursday.

Barry To County Commissioners, who agreed Tuesday to consult with a forensic auditor on questions related to a Middleville woman whose foreclosed home and property was dis­ covered last month to con­ tain bags of dead dogs, the investigation may smell more like an onion. '“It will be like peelin;•!4 back an onion, suggested County Administrator Michael Brown in describing how he envisioned the inquiry into determining if animals found on the Mfddleville property came from the county’s animal shelter and if some of the county’s euthanasia drugs had been used illicitly to kill the dogs. Marcie Tepper turned her­ self in to authorities last month and was given I0 days to arrange a court appearance for arraignment on animal cruelty charges. As of press time Wednesday, the arraignment has not taken place. Complicating matters has been Tepper’s status as a member of the Barry County Animal Shelter Advisory Board, appointed by Sheriff Dar Leaf who also made Tepper a special deputy advisor. Although he had provided two references for commissioners to consider as forensic auditors, Brown said he thought the county's current financial auditors and new animal shelter director Diana Newman could provide an initial examination and then forensic auditing call in experts, if the situation mer­ ited a more technical review. That wasn’t enough for some commissioners, how­ ever. “I've had 25 to 30 calls since our last meeting about this (use of euthanasia drugs),” said Commissioner Don Nevins who later added, “This investigation needs to start right now. We owe it to somebody to find out what happened.” Though he voted with the minority in a 5-3 vote to hire of Pellerito Debra Kalamazoo to provide an ini­ tial forensic audit review. Commissioner Dan Parker echoed Nevins' call for immediate action. “When I talked about tak% ing our time [at last week's meeting], I got people jump­ ing on me,” said Parker. “We need to get on with it.” Parker said he preferred the phased approach outlined by Brown, and he voted with commissioners Craig Stolsonburg and Howard “Hoot” Gibson against hiring Pellerito. It was Gibson who. at the board of commissioners meeting one week previous, termed the entire investiga- tion a “witch hunt” on the part of Commissioner Robert Houtman and suggested a forensic audit could cost as much as $20,000. As described by Brown, however, the initial work to be conducted by Pellerito — a certified fraud examiner — would involve one to two days of seeking facts, inter­ viewing key individuals and then providing a definition of the scope of the work that may need to be conducted, which could lead to an accu­ rate cost for a full forensic audit. Brown's estimate of the consultation was between $l ,000 and $3,000. This start to the peeling­ onion stage is most appropriate, and it’s money well spent,” said Houtman. “I look at this board of commis­ sioners and the people repre­ sented through us as having a responsibility to determine what happened [in the Middleville animal cruelty case]. “All county boards have a • responsibility for animal control, and we have a right and a responsibility to know if we were involved. Asking for this to protect the inter­ ests of Barry County cannot be termed a witch hunt.” Commissioner Joe Lyons was hunting at Tuesday’s meeting for an answer as to why the board needs to take the blame for an investigation that the public is demanding, “I’m not going to sit here and take the hit for spending money money for for aa forensic forensic audit, audit.”” said said Lyons, Lyons, ““because because we we wouldn't even be talking about this if the sheriff had done his job when he should have done it. “My point is that we, as a board, get our feet held to the fire for calling for a forensic audit and spending county money when it's something the public is demanding.” Lyons may have been ref­ erencin' direct and candid remarks offered during the public comment portion of Tuesday's meeting from citizen Jack Miner. “This issue demands jus­ tice,” said Miner in prepared remarks, “justice for the fam­ ilies that brought their ani­ mals to the shelter expecting humane treatment, justice for the people that worked and volunteered at the shelter, justice for citizens that fund­ ed and helped build the phys­ ical structure and want to know what the heck happened to their dream — and last, but not least, justice for the animals for which you have a moral responsibility. “The voters will put up with a lot from their elected officials because they know' you are human and make mistakes. In fact, they will tolerate almost anythin S’ ‘ ] except a real or perceived cover-up. The best example we have of this truism is the downfall of Richard Nixon,’’ said Miner. Lyons had direct words for Leaf's handling of the <4 affair, reminding commis- t to begin a forensic audit, sioners that they interviewed '‘I endorsed their oppo­ Tepper for a position on the nents [in the Aug. 7 primary Animal Control Advisory vote] and their opponents Board, turned her dow n, then won.” maintained Leaf. “I watched as Leaf appointed know the public knows I did her as his representative to right thing.

The new members include 48 juniors and 12 seniors making the chapter now 108 members total. In 1921, the National Association of Secondary School Principals passed a resolution to form the NHS. This created a national organization whose objective was to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership and to encourage the development of character in the nation’s secondary school Students. The emblem of the NHS is a keystone upon which is imposed a flaming torch. The keystone has for ages been the symbol of strength, per­ fection, and character. The torch symbolized the light of knowledge. At the base of the keystone and on either side of the torch are the let­ ters, C, S, L and S standing for character, service, leader­ ship and scholarship. Students must be either a junior or senior and have a grand point average of at least 3.5 to be admitted to NHS. All students who meet the criteria are invited to fill out an . information packet providing evidence of their leadership and service activities. Students are also asked to write an essay describing how they portray the four pillars of the NHS: character, service, leadership and scholarship. A five-member faculty council meets to discuss each student and the information provided. The group of fac­ ulty then determines who should be invited to be a member of the NHS. Inductees for 2012 are: Makayla Agostini, Caitlyn Bailey, Hannah Bashore, Brooke Bauman, Bryn Beyer, Michael Brown, Brown Hunter Budd, Hunter Bethany Budd, Riiltpma Bultema, Halpv Haley Carnpnfpr Carpenter, Brandon Coles, Erin DeVries, Nathan Fisk, Jacob Foote, Ruben French, Sandra Gerou, Chloe Graham, Kelli Graham, Effie Guenther, Nicole Gulch, Garrett Harris, Kaylin Johnson, 7Dakota ‘ Jordan, Steven Kopf, Kaylai Sydney Kroells, Krol, Sydney LeMay, Kennedy Malmstrom, Mackenzie Mannisto, Jordan Marcy, McKenna, Tara Taylor Miller, Jessica Morgan, Yvonne Carly Noah, Ogrodzinski, Kassidy Olthouse, Marisa Ostrowski, Grace Possett, Corey Quint, Matthew Ranes, Shea Ranes, Repins, Elizabeth Rogers, Ashley Roy, Gabriel Roy, Schaefer-Space, Erin Schaefer-Space, Scheidel, Kayleen Schmid, Kelsea Seifert.

By going over your invest­ ment portfolio and other key areas related to your finances, vou can learn what moves you may need to make in 2013 to stay on track toward your important objeclives, such as college for your children, a comfortable retirement and the ability to leave the type of legacy you desire. To get a clear picture of where you are, consider ask­ ing yourself these questions: • Am I taking on too much risk? Although 2012 has generally been a pretty good year for investors, we vecertainly seen periods of considerable volatility. During these times, did you find1 yourself constantly fretting about big drops in your port­ folio value? In fact, have you consistently experienced this type of worry throughout your years as an investor? If so, you might be taking on too much risk for your indi­ vidual risk tolerance. Review your holdings to determine if you can lower your risk level without jeopardizing your overall investment strategy . • Am / investing too con­ servatively? Just as you can take on too much investment risk, you can also go to the other extreme by investing conservatively.

If you have access to an employ ersponsored retirement plan, such as a 40!(k). 403(b) or 457(b). consider yourself fortunate. Your plan has the potential to grow on a tax­ deferred basis, and you topi­ cally contribute pre tax dol lars — the more you pul in. the lower your annual tax­ able income. Plus, your employer may match part of your contributions. So if you've been under-funding your retirement plan, ratchet up your funding in 2013. At the same lime, you may still be eligible to contribute to an IRA; if so. try to *‘max out" on it. A traditional IRA grows tax deferred w hile a Roth IRA can grow tax free, provided you meet certain conditions, • Am I adequately protect­ ing my income — and toy family? Over time, you’ll w experience many changes in your life — marriage, children. new job. new home, etc. Most, if not all. of these changes will require you to make sure you have adequate life insurance in place to help guard your family's future, should anything happen to you. Furthermore, to help replace your income should you become disabled, you may well need to purchase an adequate amount of disability income insurance, • Do I need professional help? As the above questions indicate, maintaining control of your financial situation can be challenging — espe­ cially if you try to do it all on your ow n. You might benefit from working with a financial professional — someone who can analyze your situa lion objectively and make recommendations based on your risk tolerance, lime horizon and specific goals. Before the clock runs out on 2012. take the time to ask yourself the above questions. The answers may well spur you to take positive action in 2013.

Curtis, a former Major League Baseball player and Lakewood High School vol­ unteer, is charged with six acts of criminal sexual con­ duct involving teenage girls attending Lakewood schools, attorney Curtis’ attorney, David Dodge, has opted to chailenge motions that he lost before McDowell in Barry County Circuit Court. Dodge argued Dec. 5 that Barry County Assistant Prosecutor Chris Ellsworth was a necessary witness in his client's defense and * 06796975 616-891-0150 Ed Pawloski Jr. Owner 110 Johnson St, Caledonia • www.edsbody.com OPEN 7:30 TO 5:00 MONDAY THRU FRIDAY motioned to have Ellsworth disqualified from the case in order to take the witness stand. . In question, according to Dodge, was a brief meeting between Ellsworth and a then-witness who has now been identified as a victim. The witness/victim allegedly told Ellsworth about an event between her and Curtis. No third party was present at the meeting, and Ellsworth did not record the conversation. Dodge said there was nothing unethical about what Ellsworth did or did not do, but Ellsworth needed to testify to what was said in the conversation. Ellsworth told the court that, as soon as the victim came forward with new information, he called a Barry County Sheriff’s detective who then conducted a forensic interview. McDowell denied Dodge’s motion to disqualify Ellsworth from prosecuting W ! the case, saying the neces­ sary information could be brought to light during the victim’s testimony, depend­ ing on Dodge’s skill with questioning. Dodge also wanted the court to clarify a motion rul­ ing made three weeks ago. Dodge argued then that an expert psychology witness should be able to testify to case-specific behavioral sci­ ence and the alleged victims in the case. McDowell said she had ruled previously that the expert witness can testify to general principles, but not to specific victim testimonyrelated analysis because that would be a “veiled attack on the victim’s credibility.” Dodge said he expects the Court of Appeals to rule on his challenges to his challenges McDowell’s rulings by the end of March. That will move Curtis’ trial to some time in early May. ’ >181 S. s % �4 * 4 * -—< * * * The Sun and News. Saturday.

Effective in January, the township will move to meter­ ing for public water and a ready-to-serve fee structure for it as well as a proportional charge for sewage. The town­ ship has used the residentialequivalent unit method for billing for both public water and sewer service. According to Richard Robertson who, as president pro tempore, led Wednesday’s meeting in the absence of Supervisor Bryan Harrison, at the time public water became .A 1 8196 Broadmoor Ave. SE Caledonia, Ml 49316 available in the township, the REU was a feasible method of measuring water usage. . The township chose 200 gallons a day of water for a typical family of four persons for a quarterly usage of 14,000 gallons. When public sewage became available the method was retained. The system has now rown to the point where metering technology makes the change desirable. About the only residents who will not be affected by the changes are those with private wells and septic systems. Residents will be receiving shortly a letter from the townhow the ship explaining changes will affect them and Robertson has devised a list of questions designed !anticipated . to answer the questions most likely to arise.

Beginning at the end of the first quarter, the bill residents single-family, occupying detached residences will receive in April for those who have both public water and sewer will include a ready-toserve charge of $75. Included in the charge is 14,000 gallons of water or the value of one REU. A commodity charge of $5.33 per 1,000 gallons of water for those who use more than 14,000 gallons of water will also be included. The example Robertson used based on 2012 usage was 16,000 equals 14,000 at $75 plus 2,000 multiplied by $5.33 at $10.66 is $85.66 for a quar­ terly estimate. Charges for meters are apparently part of the ready-to-serve fee. The computation of fees for com­ mercial and multi-residential units such as mobile home parks and apartment buildings is more complex. In another move that affects only residents served by the Campau-Kettle Lake system, the board passed a resolution that amends the provisions oveming the debt service fee that is part of their bills. Robertson explained that a miscalculation only discov­ ered later meant that the rev­ enue from the debt service fee does not cover the required bond payments. The township has been making up the differ­ ence from its general fund and in effect lending the money to the users of the CK system. The bonds are due to be paid off in 2015. The current debt service fee of $57 is being reduced to $50, but the length of time for levying the debt service fee has been extended from 2018 to approximately the first 10 months of 2019.

Section 704(b) of Ordinance No. 12-01 imposes a Commodity Fee on Users that discharge to the Public Sewer System. The Commodity Fee will be established in an amount determined from time to time by resolution of the Township Board. .

For Users that are not connected to the Public Water System that do not have a Private Water Meter to meter the private water supply, such Users will be billed a Commodity Fee for discharges to the Public Sewer System in excess of 18,000 gallons per quarter billed in advance. Users that are not connected to the Public Water System with a Private Water Meter to meter the private water supply pay a quarterly Commodity Fee, to be billed in arrears, based on water usage, as metered by the Private Water Meter, in excess of the volume of Sewage discharge pro­ vided by the Readiness to Serve Fee during the immediately preceding quarter.

Council members dis­ cussed the issue again at their Tuesday committee of the whole meeting and will put it up for vote at their Dec. 18 council meeting. The meeting starts at 7 p.m. in the village hall. “I hope we can get this resolved and moved,” said Council President Charlie Pullen, noting it’s been sev­ eral months since Ruben and Stacey Campos first brought their request to raise chick­ ens to the village. “It would be deeply appreciated if we can do that,” Whatever the council decides Dec. 18, it’s likely to be a split vote. Council members Ed Schellinger and Mike Lytle said they are opposed to allowing chickens in the vil­ lage. “I wouldn't want to look out in my back yard and see three chicken coops from my neighbors,” said Lytle. The ordinance amend­ ments restrict residents to no more than four chickens per property and does not allow roosters. Additional strict guidelines define the types of structures for the birds and setback requirements that must be met. Not every property within the village will be able to meet the set­ back requirements. Council member Phil VanNoord said he supports the idea. “We’ve been batting this around for a long time,” said VanNoord. “I don’t think there’s going to be many places where this can happen and not that many people interested. I don’t see it as a big deal. There are so many restrictions built into this, it’s going to limit most peopie from doing it.” Stacey Campos said she just wants the council mem­ bers to put the whole thing in perspective and to remember that it’s only four birds per HOLISTIC • SELF-HELP • COGNITIVE • INDIGENOUS • FAITH BASED 7 Losing a Loved One to Drugs or Alcohol?

The village will be required to do soil testing, remove both tanks, and may also be responsible for removing contaminated soils. • Council members reviewed the 2013 budget which will be set for approval at the Dec. 18 meeting. Several questions were raised. Council mem­ ber Sue Reyff said she’s concemed about the $18,000 increase for police services contracted with the sheriff’s department. She suggested village officials see if there from is any interest Thomapple Township about sharing costs of services. Officers assigned to Middleville only answer calls in the township in cases of emergency until other officers can arrive. “It’s a lot of money we’re putting out for police,” said Reyff. Ed Council member Schellinger said the village can’t afford to have their own department independent of the sheriff’s department and Council member Shannon Endsley said it’s a bad idea to consider going without officers in Middleville. Council member Joyce Lutz said the village shouldn’t have to pay the increase, “They’re demanding it. We don’t have to pay it. Why do we have to agree to it?” Sheriff Dar Leaf attended an earlier meeting to discuss property, A week ago, a resident of Bryanwood Estates, where the Campos’ reside, submitted deed restrictions for the subdivision saying no farm animals will be permitted unless the the majority majority of of the the unless residents agree to it.

The first tank was believed to be filled with fuel oil and not leaking.

The Scots have a chance to be successful in their new league, the OK White, although dethroning state powerhouse Lowell will always be a challenge. Singleton said his team is really looking forward to a dual with Forest Hills Central in late January. 41 “Forest Hills Central is a very strong team whose kids wrestle year round at camps and at Michigan Extreme,” he said. The Fighting Scots opened the season Wednesday, going 2-0 at their own quad. They knocked off Zeeland West 47-32 and pulled out a 40-34 victory over Lakewood.

(Photo by Brett Bremer) / RS ikn nit ess a~ Utt ’-r i J i I Vi ■ 1 'j i* 'V W ■ by Brett Bremer Sports Editor The Lowell/Caledonia (LC) varsity hockey team is young this winter, especially on the blue line. Head coach Tim Beurer knows there are going to be mistakes. Hopefully most of them aren't as glaring as the one that happened midway through the first period at Grand Rapids Christian Saturday. The LC boys lost a pass back to the blue line on the power play and Grand Rapids Christian's Thomas Rietema raced into the neutral zone to get puck, beat everyone down the ice, and flipped a shorthanded shot high to the glove side of LC keeper Devin Rosema and into the net. The goal gave the Eagles a 2-1 lead with 9:13 left in the first period, and they led the rest of the night - scoring a 4­ 2 victory in the first conference contest of the season for LC. 41 I constantly try to remind the guys to minimize the mistakes, and we're doing that," Beurer said. “We didn't make near as many mistakes as we did when we started, but we’re still making mistakes at the wrong time that are giving them opport unities to score, We have to limit their opportunities. That’s where we're struggling. If we can do that, then things will get better.” LC is currently 0-5 on the season. LC didn't get down after that mistake. The LC boys played some good, physical hockey through the rest of the first period and then Beurer said his team played its best period of the night in the second period despite the Eagles adding another goal to their lead. The Eagles controlled the play (hough throughout the third period to close out the win. “We re struggling as a team just trying to move the puck together," Beurer said. “I’m trying to figure out why. I can come up with a variety of things. We are a young team. I only have six returning players that played at this level last year - two are from South Christian and then four from my team. That means I have 15 kids that haven't played at this level, this speed. This game gets played fast. We’re not making decisions fast enough. I truthfully believe its getting better since game one. We re five games in. It is getting better, but all in all we just have to figure out how to make it work. Guys gotta learn. There's a lot of things that they need to learn both what I'm trying to tell them to do. but also reacting to how the game is being played." LC reacted to the Eagles' first goal of the night quickly, Rietenia scored his team ’s Rietema team's first goal as well, 5:29 into the contest, with Nick Pindred setting him up for a shot in the middle of the offensive zone.
