M-43 Highway, Hastings, Ml 49058 t 2013: A year in re vie w for Caledonia area by Fran Faverman Staff Writer As 2013 has drawn to a close, it’s a good time to reflect on a few of the events that made news during the year. Following is a brief overview of a few of the headlines that affected peo­ ple in the Caledonia area. Among the challenges before Caledonia Township and the village of Caledonia this year was the weather. Rainfall in mid-April caused flooding and delayed some planting. A mild fall was fol­ lowed by colder than usual December temperatures; a massive ice-and-snow storm the weekend before Christmas left people without heat and lights. Many experienced a mid-18th cen­ tury Christmas. Two major public institu­ tions were stretched by the year-end winter storm. The Caledonia Public Library became a place of heat and light for many, who enjoyed its warmth and light. The Caledonia Fire Department Sunday, Dec. 22, responded to 20 storm-related calls, three emergency medical calls, and three auto acci­ dents, Fortunately, there were no residential fires in TT33S0 vi22£m 3fll UznrfD 1UO □ yiu) jwT r znoit -T£3Y IV SW 21 i jbsbO I o) 331111 .ztnab I 3T3W I I w gnou rois gni .2801 io wot bsriouoi 31 \ .liDrirsq term H32 11 21H3V3 n .EKE ilGJ UJO i i / .2won £ .swsn .8W3H norfT eloorfog I Jdgit to i Caledonia over the storm period. * * * Caledonia Township began to experience an uptick in economic activity in 2013. After the township’s planning commission and its board of trustees approved an expansion of an area already designated for “light development industrial” along the west side of 68th Street, it ratified a site plan application for the Rattunde Corporation on the property, The company’s plans will lead to the construction of a manufacturing facility and the creation of several new jobs. Rattunde, which has outgrown its manufacturing facilities in Kentwood, manufactures specialized equip­ ment for working with tubu­ lar steel components. On the residential side of the development equation an attempt by developer Mick McGraw to amend the Valley Woods Cherry Planned Unit Development allowing an increase in the number of single-family homes and reducing the number of condominiums came to naught after an 18month process. Residents strenuously objected to 1 Members of the tactical apprehension and confrontation team of the Kent county Sheriff’s Department proceed cautiously up the stairs during a training exercise at Davenport University on the W.A.

AA major major factor factor in in the the township board board’’ss decision decision township was the the lack lack of of any any commucommuwas nity benefit to altering the existing plan. * * * University Davenport continued to make its presence in the community felt by expanding its athletic facilities and, in late December, announced plans to develop a football program. The university has continued to expand its aca- demic offerings in health care with the addition of a master’s level program in occupational therapy, * * * A major infrastructure project affecting both the township and the village appears to be coming to fruition. Currently, all per­ sons who live in the Northwest Sewer Authority area and are connected to the system discharge their sewage into the wastewater treatment plant owned by the village. That plant is current­ ly in the renewal process for its permit. It is also reaching capacity. The township board, which in a two-year period examined several alterna­ tives including construction of its own plant for the area and expanding the existing plant, chose to seek an agree­ ment with Grand Rapids. Treasurer Richard Robertson said it had not been possible to modify any of the terms of the contract during what he termed “a long and arduous process.” In a December conversation, Robertson did indicate that he expects the final contract will come before the board at a Jan. 2014 meeting. Construction of a connection to Gaines Township is expected to start in the spring with the new system on line by early fall. As part of the process, the board had to engage in a lengthy and complex revi­ sion of its existing sewer ordinances.

Many great stories filled the Sun and News weekly, along with many heartbreak­ ing stories of tragedy and loss. Here’s a look back at a few of the events that touched lives in 2013. They’re not in chronological order, nor are they in any particular order of impor­ tance. Rather they were cho­ sen reminders of a few of the events that made headlines in 2013. The list is broken into four categories of top events: Thomapple Kellogg school news, village news, business news, and other events and news. Thornapple Kellogg Schools Schools make budget cuts Kellogg Thornapple Schools faced another year of tight budgeting and had to cut nearly $1 million to bal- a six-period semester schedule rather than a five-period trimester schedule. High school principal Tony Koski said the biggest negative is that students won’t have as many electives available and will have less opportunity for credit recovery of failed classes. . Odyssey of Mind team advances to world competition The Thomapple Kellogg Middle School Odyssey of the Mind team placed second in the world competition, The team was made up of sixth and seventh graders, All had experienced the world competition previous­ ly, with some having been to the worlds twice and others making a third trip to the elite- competition.

About the only people who will not be affected by the new ordi­ nance are those who have a well for water and a septic system for sewage. Meters able to be read remotely have been installed throughout the area this summer. The diversion of sewage from the existing wastewater treatment plant affects the village because new hookups in the Northwest Sewer Authority District will be diverted from the current plant. The agreement gov­ erning the division of expenses places 57 percent of the costs of repairs with the township. With the diver­ sion to Grand Rapids, the township will be under its allocated 57 percent of capacity at the plant. The Joint Sewer Committee has encouraged the village of Caledonia to explore the option of contracting with Infrastructure. Alternatives, Inc. to manage the village plant. That company man­ ages public utilities for the township. Currently, the plant is managed and staffed by village employees. * * * The Caledonia Community Cable Corporation fell on hard times. A complete overhaul of its management led to the appointment of a new board and the appointment of for­ mer village trustee Tim Overholt as its chief executive officer. In appearances before the township board, Overholt was able to clear up the financial irregularities and request a new board. The township board approved a new board board and. and, with with new new new financial controls in place, approved funds to clear up the deficit and provided operating funds through the remainder of the year as well as approving a budget for the new fiscal beginning Jan. 1. * * * Overholt resigned his seat on the village council effec­ tive in July. An extensive search for a replacement yielded two candidates Elizabeth Fanco and Jason Hanson. At its December meeting, the board appointed Fanco to the vacancy. She will serve the remainder of Overholt’s term, and will be eligible to run for the seat in 2015. J * * * The village planning com­ mission also saw an uptick in activity.

The property was rezoned to commercial from residential with the proviso that should Buer sell the business, the commercial zoning will revert to residential. The site plan called for a phased-in approach over a five-year period. The initial phase required fencing, the closure of the entrance on Emmons Street, and con­ struction of a storage area. Settlement of a lawsuit filed by adjoining property owner, Scott Sherlund, enabled him to acquire a narrow strip along his driveway. * * * A proposal from Vista Springs Senior Living sub­ mitted by Lou Andriotti to build an assisted living facil­ ity on property south of the new Caledonia Public Library and fronting on Emmons Lake drew protest from residents on Alaneda, Costner and Statler drives. Among the concerns voiced by residents at a standing­ room-only meeting was a proposal to extend 92nd Street, the removal of the trees, and the premium prices paid for lots by own­ ers who relied on statements that the land would not be developed. A second issue was parking both for residents and staff, especially when Andriotti also men- ,* * * Good news included the acquisition of two vacant buildings on Main Street by new owners. In early sum­ mer, Phil and Chris Fricano appeared before the village council to relate their pend­ ing purchase of the Main Street Restaurant and their plans to open a restaurant, Renovations have proceeded and, though the initial target of December was missed, a later date of Feb. 2014 may be met. The vacant manufacturing facility on the south side of Main Street was acquired by the Caledonia Elevator Company and is being used for storage. * * * Community activities brought out the true spirit of the area. The Easter egg hunt at Lakeside Park set the tone for spring followed by the Memorial Day weekend events which again included the Kilt Klassic, a 5K run in the village, followed by the Memorial Day parade and services in the town's cemeteries led by Caledonia Post 305, American Legion. Two significant events occurred again in May. The Caledonia Women’s Club held its annual tea for gradu­ aung ating women women seniors seniors at Caledonia High School. The tea also included the presentation tation of of two two $$1,000 1,000 scholarscholarships to two young women selected selected bv by the the club club’’ss schnL schol- ty celebration was Western Week. The themed festival enjoyed its seventh year from June 19 to 21. The Friday car show featured a 1928 Chevrolet touring sedan owned by John Gackler, a that likely holds the record for continuous ownership by one family since Gackler inherited it. It may also have been sold by a dealership located on the site of the Mullers Paint ‘N Paper store. The week opened on June 18 with the traditional softball game between the fire department and the Downtown Merchants. At this chapter in the game’s history, it appears that the merchants lead the series, 6­ 1. Other events followed throughout the week including Market Street, which fea­ tures crafts and local prod­ ucts, and the Taste of Caledonia where local and area restaurateurs provide a sampling of their wares. Line dancing, the famous movie night with free popcorn, and finally the Friday night dance wound up the week. After a brief interlude of time, the Independence Day Committee Celebration again provided its highly anticipated activities June 29.

Just before the stroke of midnight, the threc-foot diameter ball, with LED lights and reflectors, flashed and pulsed as the village Department of Public Works truck began raising it steadi­ ly higher and higher. The crowd counted down as the ball went up. Organizers said they feel the first year was successful and hope even more people will want to attend next year. The night started with more than 50 people gather­ ing at the Masonic Hall where they danced, sang and played games. Snacks were provided by the United Methodist youth group and glow bracelets were handed out. ' The community collected $60 in donations for the Hand 2 Hand food project and the Middleville Food Bank.

Wright said the idea came to her after talking with another friend. They were both encouraged to pursue engineering careers by teach­ ers, she said, but admitted they really didn't have a good idea exactly what an engineering career career might might engineering look like. like. look “There are all kinds of engineering opportunities," said Wright. She said nearly everything is engineered in some way — from the auto­ motive industry needs to computer science, mechani­ cal, robotics, aerospace, industrial, health care, ener­ gy, and geological. The CHS alumni will talk about potential careers, engi­ neering degrees, schools, internships and career oppor­ tunities. They'll also talk with students about opportunities they may want to try in high school to better prepare them­ selves for engineering degrees. . Any student is welcome to attend; they do not have to be a Caledonia High School stu­ dent. The event is also open to family members. The event is free of charge. A reception with a question-and-answer period January 9, 2014 will be the 60th wedding anniversary will follow the presentation. The event is being sponsored for Harry and Shirley Schultz.

Students interested in learning more about careers and opportunities in engi­ neering fields have an opportunity to hear from recent Caledonia High School grad­ uates about their experiences and opportunities in engineering careers. Nicole Wright, a 2011 Caledonia High School grad- Happy 60th anniversary to Harry and Shirley Schultz usually make New Year's resolutions, according to a survey from the University of Scranton. But the same survey shows that only 8% of us actually keep our reso­ lutions. Perhaps this low suc­ cess rate isn't such a tragedy when our resolutions involve things like losing a little weight or learning a foreign language. But when we make financial resolutions — reso­ lutions that, if achieved, could significantly help us in our pursuit of our important long-term goals — it’s clear­ ly worthwhile to-make every effort to follow through. So, what sorts of financial resolutions might you consjder? Here are a few possibilities: • Boost your contributions to your retirement plans. Each year, try to put in a littie more to your IRA and your 40 l(k) or other employ­ retirement er-sponsored plans. These tax-advantaged accounts are good options for your retirement savings strategy. • Reduce your debts. It’s not always easy to reduce your debts, but make it a goal to finish 2014 with a smaller debt load than you had going into the new year. The lower your monthly debt payments, the more money you'll have to invest for retirement, college for your children (or grandchildren) and other important objectives. • Build your emergency fund. Work on building an “emergency fund" contain­ ing six to 12 months' worth of living expenses, with the money held in a liquid account that offers a high degree of preservation of principal. Without such a fund, you might be forced to dip into your long-term investments to pay for emergencies, such as a new furnace, a major car repair, and so on. You might not be able to finish creating your emer­ gency fund in one year, but contribute as much as you can afford. • Focus on the long term. You can probably check your investment balance online, which means you can do it every day. or even several times a day — but should you? If you're fol­ lowing a strategy that’s appropriate for your needs, goals, risk tolerance and time horizon, you're already doing what you should be doing in the long run. So there’s no need to stress yourself over the short-term movements that show up in your investment statements. Do whatever you can to turn these New Year's reso­ lutions into realities. Your efforts could pay off well beyond 2014. Th is article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor. needs. If you don’t already have the proper amounts of life and disability' insurance in place, put it on your “To Do’’ list for 2014. Also, if you haven't taken steps to protect yourself from the considerable costs of long­ term care, such as an extend­ ed nursing home stay, con­ suit with your financial pro­ fessional, who can suggest the appropriate protection or investment vehicles. You may never need such care. but that’s a chance you may not want to take — and the longer you wait, the more expensive your protection options may become. • Don't overreact to mar­ ket volatility. Too many peo­ ple head to the investment “sidelines" during market downturns.

There was a pleasant hiatus until it was time for the fireworks display at 10 p.m. The display was held using the CalPlex facility and excellent viewing points were provided from the church parking lot and the Duncan Lake Middle School lots. Observers rated it the best show of the past few years. The calendar was then quiet until September when school opened. The Caledonia Education Foundation again sponsored a tailgate party in connection with Homecoming at CHS. Each year the foundation selects an honored alumnus or alumna. Judy Harrison, whose family has a long his­ tory in Caledonia education, business, and politics, was chosen as this year's distin­ guished graduate. The grand marshal for the Homecoming parade was Peter DeLille, who retired after 35 years teaching orchestra at CHS. t The party is a major fundraising event for the foundation which dispenses scholarships and funds pro­ grams not eligible for fund­ ing through tax dollars.

Hamilton’s varsity boys’ basketball team scored a 70­ 60 victory at Thornapple Kellogg High School Friday. The Trojans didn’t have the lead for more than a few second in the first half, but they were never very far behind the Hawkeyes. Clay Francisco drilled a threepointer to tie the game at 28­ 28 with 1 minute and 43 sec­ onds to play in the first half. Hamilton answered that triple with one of its own from Elijah Walker, and then cen­ ter Connor Davis secured the ball after a long scramble in the offensive end of the floor and put it up and in with 5.5 seconds left before the break. The Hawkeyes then went on an 8-2 run to start the sec­ ond half, upping their lead to 41-30. Eight points was as close as TK would get the rest of the way. “That's a big, physical team,” said TK head coach Mike Rynearson. “We wanted to pressure them man-to-man full and the ball in front. Towards the end of the first half, they got around us and got into the paint. I told them, I said, if their guards got into the paint and took shots they’re going to be tough to contain. The last two minutes of the first half and then the whole third quarter it seemed like they were getting to the basket. They weren’t making their first shot, but they were getting the rebounds and the putbacks and we fouled them a lot after they got the rebounds, a couple and-ones, and the score just stretched out to 11 points just like that.” Hamilton dominated on the glass, outrebounding TK 25­ 11 for the night. The Hawkeyes had 12 offensive rebounds, while TK had four. Walker led the Hawkeyes with 17 points. Davis and Dylan Buresh had had 14 points and five rebounds apiece.

Once a person has had chickenpox, the virus can live, but remain inactive, in certain nerve roots within your body for many years. If it becomes active again, usually later in life, it can cause Shingles. The risk for Shingles increases as you get older. Shingles can affect anyone who has had chickenpox at any time, without warn­ ing. There’s no way to tell who will get Shingles or when it may occur. Have you had Chickenpox? 1 out of 2 people who live to age 85 will have Shingles. A vaccine is now available by prescription from your doctor for patients 60 or over.

Rebecca Fleury Middleville Village Manager “Middleville has a lot going on," said Village Manager Rebecca Fleury who said she's excited about the changes the new year will bring. With the village earning the grants from the Michigan Natural Department of Resources and the Michigan Department of Department Transportation, work will begin on the Riverfront Park. The plan includes extension of the Paul Henry Thornapple Trail north of Stagecoach Park to Crane Road at the village limits, The trail will run near the Thomapple River and provide a scenic recreational experience for users. The grants also allow for a development development of the Riverfront park area which will include a a community pavilion, handicap-accessible boat launch on the Thornapple River, picnic area, parking and Veteran's Memorial. said it remains a challenge to Additionally, the village summer.

He also knows it’s not always going to be easy, and that’s where he hopes his adult mentor will be able to help. “I hope it helps me get back on the right track. I had some problems. But I’m try­ ing to make better decisions, and I hope my mentor can be a friend and someone I can talk to.” Lund is one of about a dozen Thomapple Kellogg High School and Middle School students paired with mentors from throughout the community in what’s being called Strive. TK Superintendent Tom Enslen said he’s excited about the program that admittedly he learned about from another school district. ci This is all about making connections and trying to help these students get through school and find their path,” he said. > Enslen said all kinds of kids are in need of a little extra help or a person to look up to for a variety of reasons. “We hope we can build self-esteem, get a failing grade up to a passing grade, finish high school and just feel good about themselves, There are so many kids who just need a little extra help — a little more encouragement,” he said. High school student Ben Fasold said he likes the idea of the program, “I never had anyone to Quality Family Eye Care Since 1929 Bard Bloom, O.D. Scott Bloom, O.D.

Both enjoy being on stage. Fasold said he likes playing music and performing. Bremer is active in the Middleville Players and theater, Rheagan McCrath’s eyes lit up when she heard her mentor Leslie Lettinga talk about having horses and lov­ ing animals. ’ McCrath said her father died in August and she’s struggled with the loss. Ironically, Lettinga’s father also died this summer, and she said she signed up to be a mentor in part because she no longer had the responsibility of caring for him and had some extra time. “Isn’t that weird,” said Lettinga, sensing an instant bond with her high school student. . Enslen said the program is a great way for the schools and community to make long-lasting connections. “We’re all after creating a generation of people who will contribute to their com­ munity,” Enslen said. “We have a great and supportive community, and we have to find ways to make those con- G9 Dd Ee ; I G9 Hh r । । *। /r p. —Ir rr 11r•— 7- Kindergarten Kickoff 2014 00 Caledonia Community Schools Young 5’s & Kindergarten Registration 14k 1 J < [gj Caledonia Community School District is accepting registrations for fall 2014 Kindergarten and Young 5’s classes.

Enslen explained that the purpose of the night was simply to start getting to know each other and start making connec­ tions. He said the goal for the mentors is simple: to be a friend, offer support and pro­ vide help as able. For students, the goals are simply to feel better about themselves, have someone they can talk to, and find ways to succeed in school, moving toward a rewarding future. Bob Williams said he hopes his years of being a parent and raising four children will help some other young people who may be struggling to complete school or find their way in life. “I hope to be a friend and Just a^e to get organized and be encour­ aged for their future. “My reward is his reward. If he succeeds, I succeed,” said Robol. Mark Sevald didn’t get to meet his student at the pizza outing, but said he’s looking forward to meeting him soon. “I can listen. I can care. If they are having trouble, maybe I can help them by just being a friend and listening to them.” Ron Myers was deep in conversation with this young middle school student Nick Bieri. “They asked for volun­ teers at church, and I felt like it was something little I could do to maybe help..

Enslen said students and mentors will meet or talk as often as they want. The entire group also will participate in some specially planned events. Enslen said he’s hopeful the group will be successful and continue to grow. He said although there are only about a dozen matchings right now, many more students could benefit from a community mentor. 0114 ttai New 3 bedroom, 2 bath homes $779.00 per month All appliances, central air & storage shed.

According to the Kent County Health Department there are 230 reported flu cases in Kent County so far this season; epidemiologists estimate 8 percent of cases get reported, so the actual number could be more than 2,800. “Many adults have this misconception that the flu vaccine is just for kids, the elderly, or people who have medical conditions," said Adam London, administra­ tive health officer for the •’I 99 Kent County Health Department, Even healthy adults need protection. The Centers for Disease Control reports an increase in severe respiratory illness among young and middle-aged adults due to influenza A (H1N1) this year. The CDC recommends a yearly flu vaccine for everyone over 6 months of age. The vaccine can take 10 days to two weeks to become effective. Some children ages ----- r6-----months n-----------------to 2 years old 1J may require two doses of vaccine.

Englerth said he wanted to open discussion and receive board approval for the pur­ chase and installation of a enerator at the fire station. “This facility needs to be ready to service our residents 24/7,” maintained Englerth, “and recent weather condi­ tions have made it clear we need one.” Englerth requested and received approval for a committee to be developed to move forward the idea of placing a generator in the fire station. Mary Cook added that, “we had a real eye-opener with this last storm.

Lippert informed the board that the annual Road Commission meeting date had been set for Jan. 16, at 1p.m. at the township hall, and the contract for fire pro­ tection services mutually enjoyed by Yankee Springs and Thomapple township was up for renewal and supervisor Englerth would be communicating with supervisor Mike Bremer on the specifics. Bachman Sparks, legal counsel for Yankee Springs Township, has increased its fee to to $200 $200 per per hour hour said said fee Lippert, which prompted Township Treasurer, John Jerkatis to comment that unnecessary attendance by the attorney to planning and zoning meetings would be an unnecessary cost to the township and that the legal services should be monitored closely, Englerth provided a super­ visor's report highlighting the need and subsequent quoting of tires for one of their emergency vehicles. The quoted cost for six tires was $ 1,917 and that included mounting on the 2005 Ford brush truck. “The vehicle requires new tires to function in conditions such as we have experienced Jerkatis requested a mone­ tary amount not be tied to the request until an appropriate proposal had been made. We will need to talk to electricians and get all the broad parameters identified before we can discuss a cost,** said Jerkatis. Englerth continued, stat­ ing the Cutty Drain Commission was engaging engineers to develop an agenda to present to the publie very soon. Notice will be placed in the media. Englerth also mentioned the possibility of the township to purchase a used gen­ erator, of sufficient capacity, through the partnership with the Sewer Authority, “The Sewer Authority has one available, at a significantly reduced cost of $1,000 that the township can purchase and install at the water tower which does not have one,” said Englerth. “The water pumps have a generator back up but what is the point if the water tower, itself, is off-line.” Details on the possible purchase would be worked out by the board before the next township meeting, scheduled to be held Feb. 13. jerxaus Jerkatis noted mat that an amended budget proposal would be prepared when it comes time to approve the project. Finally, the resolution specifying the necessary pur chase and placement of buoys in the north west cor­ ner of Gun Lake was approved by the board.

January 11, 2014/ Page 9 Financial Focus % w 11 mA a & Provided by Andrew McFadden of Edward Jones vH SV What’s your vision of retirement? When you start out in your career, you're probably not thinking much about retire­ ment. At this point, your pic­ ture of a “retirement lifestyle” may be, at best, hazy, hidden as it is behind a veil of experiences you've yet to encounter. But as you move through the years, your 1 view of retirement comes into clearer and closer focus — and this vision will have a big impact on your savings and investment strategies. Consequently, to create and implement those strate­ gies effectively, you'll need to define your retirement vision by identifying its vari­ ous parts. Here are some to consider. • Travel — If you’re like many people, you may dream of traveling during your retirement. But what a does “travel” mean to you? Do you envision taking a cruise or an international trip every year? Or is your idea of travel just a short jaunt to a popular destination, such as a lake or the mountains or the beach? The difference in costs between global and U.S.-based travel can be enormous, so you'll need to define your goals and esti­ mate your expenses. ■ <17 v 5! >..* *5% tfy * •»« A ft d,*ltp NR • Second home — Once you retire, you'll have to make some housing-related decisions. Should you sell your home and “downsize”? Or do you want to keep your current residence and possi­ bly purchase a second home, such as a condominium, in another part of the country? Obviously', you'll need to factor in these choices when you think about how to invest before you retire and how to manage your with­ drawals from your 401(k), IRA and other accounts during your retirement, • Volunteer activities — You might think that your volun­ teer activities during retire­ ment won’t affect your finances much. But if you are particularly ambitious,* and your volunteerism involves travel, renting space, pur­ chasing equipment and so on, you might be looking at some large cash outlays, Furthermore, if you host peopie at your house, you may be incurring some types of liability risk, which you might need need to address might through appropriate insurance coverage. • Hobbies — During your working years, you may pur­ sue your hobbies always with the thought that you can devote a lot more time to them after you retire, However, expanded hobby activities may involve expanded costs. For exam­ pie, if you're good with cars, you might decide to invest in that foreign sports car of which you've dreamed. Or, if you're fascinated by genealogy, perhaps you'll start traveling to places once inhabited by your ancestors. These types of activities can be expensive, so you'll have to evaluate your saving, spending and investing habits to determine how to accommodate your increased expenditures on your hob­ bies. • Second career — Many people look forward to retir­ ing from one career so they can start another — opening a small business, consulting or even taking a part-time job. Clearly, if you were to start your own business, some expenses would be involved, so you'll have to plan for them. Even if you become a consultant or work part time, you could incur various costs, including travel. And. in relation to these types of work, you may also have insurance and health care issues to address. By identify ing the various components of your retire­ ment vision, and estimating their respective costs, you can make those saving. spendin oa and investment choices that can help you work toward your retirement dream.

Multiple turnovers ham­ pered both team's efforts to gain a comfortable lead. A score of 10 to 8, in favor of the Scots at the 7:oo minute mark of the second quarter gave indication of the low scoring game, with the TK boys struggling to gain foot­ ing against the tenacious defense of the Cal Scots who matched each basket made by the Trojans. Caledonia's full court press made scoring by the TK varsity players difficult. With 1:48 left in the first half, TK’s Tommy Hamilton stole a pass and ran it full court for a lay-up, drawing the foul.

A three pointer knocked down by Caledonia junior Steven Sammons with 5:00 minutes left in the fourth quarter gave the Scots the lead they would hold onto to win.

The board heard a report from Steve Hoekzema with Tower Pinkster, an architect and engineering firm, Monday evening. Hoekzema outlined the list of projects a committee has reviewed that includes many building and infrastructure needs, such as increasing security, as well as technology needs through­ out the district. Tom Superintendent Enslen said this is a relative­ ly small bond that will address several needs for the district. “We don’t want to have to go out for a bond every five years. We have to find a way to do something that hasn't been done before in this district and build into our budg- et our needs and projecting out what those needs are going to be,” said Enslen. But he said the district has an immediate need and must rely on the community again, “This community has shown to be hugely supportive of the schools,” said Enslen. “That's the good part of this. The bad part is that we have to ask again.” Funds from the district’s last bond in 2007 have been used, and the district continues to face more needs espe­ cially for technology and building and facility mainte­ nance. member Board Kim Selleck said security is a major need. “We don't want a Sandy Hook incident here,” he said. “We need to do what we can reasonably to protect our kids. We had security issues that have been addressed, but we need to do better.” Board president Dave 44 Smith said it's also imperative the district find a way to rebuild a fund balance of at least 10 10 percent percent of ofone one year's year’s least operating costs. “We've been holding on as long as we can, hoping the “** state would give us' additional money. We’ve spent into the fund balance. We just can’t do it any more,” he said. Projects included in the bond proposal will be constructing security vestibules at the middle school, Page, Lee and McFall. This will ensure that all visitors into the buildings enter through the main office. This year, the district began security measures requiring all visitors be “buzzed in” to the school from the office. But once inside, the visitors still have access throughout the building without being forced to stop at the main See BOND, page 10 by Fran Favernian Staff Writer They may not be shovel­ ing sidewalks for homeown­ ers, but Caledonia Village Council members may be hitting the streets soon dis­ tributing warning fliers to residents that walks must be clear within 24 hours of a snowfall. "We have to do some­ thing about unshoveled side­ walks," said Trustee Todd Grinage at Monday's council meeting during a discussion in which he said current enforcement efforts are not solving the problem and may be leaving the village exposed to claims arising from failure to enforce its own ordinance. The December ice and snow storm followed by a week of more snow has focused attention on the problem. Present enforcement practice begins with a letter from Managen'Clerk Village Sandy Ayers to the property owner of record. On a few occasions, a follow-up phone call has been necessary. "To date we have not issued a citation for failure to clean sidewalks," stated Ayers though issuing a cita- tion does remain an option. Council President Glenn Gilbert, objected to a suggestion that citations be issued quickly. "I do not want to do that if it can be avoided,” stated Gilbert. Danise Regan, council vice-president, instead sug­ gested a flyer that could be attached to a door knob or left inside a door because post office regulations prohibit leaving such material in mailboxes. Ayers agreed and said the fliers could easily be done in the office. Gilbert closed the discus­ sion with his directive that, ”1 want council members out there distributing the fliers." Moving into other busi­ ness, Paul Galdes, village engineer, reported he and Ayers had attended a kickoff meeting with Caledonia Township Supervisor Bryan Harrison to update demo­ graphic information for the parks and recreation plan, Galdes said he expects the plan to be completed by the end of January. Trustee Gary Scholl, liaison to the township, reported he had heard nothing further on Phase One of the town- ship's trails plan. Trustee Karen Hahn reported the Day Independence Celebration Committee has not yet met. There were two items of official business on the agen­ da. A contract with the engi­ neering firm of Hubbell, Roth, and Clark for work on the wastewater treatment plant and the application for a groundwater discharge per­ mit was before the council. The contract would run through June 30, 2015, and is estimated to cost $26,300. The contract was approved unanimously, 6-0 with Trustee Dan Erskine absent. The second item on the agenda was the official notice of the dates and times of the meetings of the coun­ cil, the Village of Caledonia Planning Commission, and the Zoning Board of Appeals. The council will continue to hold its regular meetings on the second Monday of the -month at 7 p.m. The planning commis­ sion will meet at 7 p.m. on the fourth Thursday of the All meetings are month. See SIDEWALKS, page 7 • Village authorizes second series of bond sales by Julie Makarewicz Staff Writer • Middleville will authorize sale of the second series of capital improvement bonds as planned. The bonds will be for capital improvement projects totaling $410,000 including a $300,000 match toto the the Michigan Department of Natural Resources Trust Fund grant. The village council authorized the match amount at the time of the grant application. The grant was awarded in December and will be used to help the village with the Development Riverfront Park plans, In May 2012, the council adopted a bond resolution for $1.1 million. The first series of bonds was issued in the amount of $700,000 in July 2012. Council authorized the second series of bonds tor $410,000 at Tuesday's meet­ ing. addition In to the $300,000 for the MDNR Trust Fund grant match, the bond funds will be used for water, sewer and street proj­ ects of $99,000 and bond issuance and legal expenses of $ 11,000.

WWW.MAYNARDSWATERCONDITIONING.COM by Constance Cheeseman Sta# Writer As is customary, the Barry County Road Commission is meeting with township offi­ cials this month to report on road conditions and the to financial challenges upgrading and repairing paved roads within the coun­ ty, Monday, the commission visited Thornapple Township to share its primary recommendations. Brad Lamberg, managing director of the Barry County Road Commission, gave a slide presentation to the board reporting that all the roads in Michigan are rated with a Pavement Surface Evaluation System, a one through 10 rating system, with 10 being a brand new road and one rating being an almost impassable road. This is a system of rota­ tion and preventative mainte­ nance, where roads are moved up and down the rat­ ing scale based on whether recommended work was done or not. Roads that were recommended to be repaired in previous years and were not done, now have been cat­ egorized with a lower PASER rating due to the continued deterioration and lack of restoration. This translates into re-construc­ tive work instead of preven­ tative work, increasing the cost for the repairs, signifi­ cantly. ? Lamberg explained that the PASER rating system identifies how the state prior­ itizes its road repair work schedule. The BCRC evalu­ ates all roads within its juris­ diction each spring, inform­ ing municipalities and town­ ships of the conditions of their roads, categorically, so they can develop funding mechanisms to help pay for their jurisdictional repairs. Ratings of eight through 10 are fairly new roads. Roads with a PASER rating within 5-7 are prime for pre­ ventative maintenance which is relatively inexpensive and cost effective. Lamberg strongly encouraged the board to consider taking action on roads with this rating to keep them in good .. 1.. 1ft i Kent ISD administrator will work as temporary TK finance officer It u it 11 "SENSIBLE about your water!

In other matters at Tuesday’s council meeting: • Fleury reported on the success of the first New Year’s Eve Ball Rise. She said, although temperatures were very cold, there were more than 40 people partici­ pating in events at the hall prior to the ball rise and then more than 100 people on Main Street to witness the ball rising. • Fleury thanked the department of public works employees and staff for their hard work during the ice storm and the snow storm. Council members also gave comments about the good work the department did to keep the roads as clear as possible in a timely manner. • DPW Director Duane Weeks said the department will begin picking up limbs, twigs and branches if resi­ dents pile them by the curb. Weeks said the staff will pick those items up as quick­ ly as possible. Weeks report­ ed that the decision by the village to have its own fuel tanks turned out to be quite valuable during the ice storm. He said it allowed staff to refuel the generators used within the village for the wells and lift stations. Local stations i pump fuel. Without the vil­ lage tanks, the village would have had to travel a considerable distance to find fuel for the generators. • Fleury reported that she and two other local govern­ ment managers will give a presentation to undergraduate students in political sci­ ence at Western Michigan University. Fleury said the presentation is to encourage students to consider a career in local government manage­ ment. She said there are many baby boomers who currently fill local govern­ ment manager positions and the number of retirements is on the rise. She said there is need for more applicants to fill such positions. • Council appointed five members to serve on a newly created Development Area Citizens Council.

Staff discussed bringing the service in-house using existing DPW person­ nel, but an analysis showed that the fee assessed is more cost efficient to the village than using existing person­ z* nel. • Approved a resolution to amend the Grand Valley Metropolitan Council adding Lowell Township as a member. • Council approved an ordinance to amend the code of ordinances related to utili­ ties. The village received its last groundwater discharge permit from the MDEQ in 2009 which was modified in 2012. With the modification, there is a requirement to set up an industrial pretreatment program.

Most were happy to do so. “It gets you thinking real­ ly about what you can do to help others,” said Sabrina Hyatt, a sophomore, as she made coin wallets out of juice boxes to give to homeless people. James McKinstry worked with a needle and thread sewing sleeping bags for the homeless. “I’ve never sewn before,” Morgan Dutcher makes braided dog toys.

It makes me feel great, and hopefully this will help keep someone warm.” TKHS teachers Lyndsey Fischer and Liz Ritsema organized the second annual service learning day and said the goal is simply to help stu­ dents realize the many opportunities available to volunteer and make a differ­ ence in their community. “We’re teaching them to think beyond themselves — to help others.

Junior Bryce Hayward serves on the youth advisory council for Kids Food Basket and encouraged others from the school to volunteer, as well. “It’s really great to see how much help they can give to families,” she said. Senior Kim Marble said she was really happy to be able to help make dog treats for Mackenzie’s Animal Shelter. “It just makes you feel good,” said Marble. “I volun­ teer there, and I really like it.” MacKenzie s, a no-kill shelter in Lake Odessa, will get a box full of used toilet paper rolls, crimped on both ends and filled with dog food. It’s a challenge for the dogs to get the treats out of the tubes. Across the hall in another classroom, students cut out paper hearts from newspa­ pers. They decorated them with words of encourage­ ment and hope, then stuffed them making them puffy. The hearts will be donated to Gilda’s Club of Grand Rapids to help children whose family members have cancer. , Originally scheduled to take place the day before Christmas break, the service day was postponed when school was canceled that Friday.

Caledonia’s varsity basketball team dropped home contests with Jenison and Forest Hills Central in the first week of the conference season. The Jenison Wildcats scored a 59-35 win over the Fighting Scots at Caledonia High School in the conference opener Tuesday. Jenison went on a 7-0 run in the final four and a half minutes of the first half to take a 22-17 half-time lead, and then held the lead throughout the second half, With Drew Muller leading the way early on, the Fighting Scots attacked the basket, scored and got a couple of Jenison’s big guys in foul trouble. The Wildcats’ Luke Diekevers picked up his second foul three minutes into the game, His replacement, Sam Szarowicz, didn’t quite make it to the end of the opening quarter before he had two fouls. Andrew Lamb, the third big Wildcat center, settled things down for his team, in the paint a bit. Lamb made a nice move in the paint to score the first bucket of the second quarter then quickly added a put-back to give his team its first lead at 13-11. Eventually the Wildcats and head coach David Kool decided just to put all those big bodies on the floor at one time, leaving no where for the Fighting Scot guards to penetrate to. Once the dribble-drive the was taken away, Fighting Scots never really found another answer for how to put the ball in the basket. They exploited our mentai toughness weakness and when things stopped going our way we stopped competing," said Fighting Scot head coach Todd Bloemers after the contest. “That's not indicative of Fighting Scot basketball, and the way we teach and the expectation we have, and we are going to work to improve it to get ready for our second league night."” game Friday night. Jenison’s CJ VanTimmeren did a little bit of everything to lead the Wildcats, and finished with a game-high 21 points. Jake Amtson added nine points, on three three-pointers, and Lamb finished with eight points. Caledonia got 12 points from Muller, who was 6-of6 at the free throw line, and nine points from Nick LoMonaco, all on threes.

Thomapple Kellogg’s varsity boys’ basketball team improved to 2-0 in the OK Gold Conference with a 63- J 29 victory over the Saxons. “It was a whole team effort, even the guys that played in that last quarter were hitting shots and the energy, it didn't feel like we were in Hastings. It felt like we were at TK. We played hard-nosed defense, and that’s normally what Hastings plays,” Rynearson said.

Three days after being bullied” at Grand Rapids Catholic Central, according to head coach Jessee Bays, Thomapple Kellogg's varsity girls'basketball team was the one dictating the action in Hastings Friday night. Thornapple Kellogg scored its first OK Gold Conference victory of the season Friday, topping the host Saxons 5122. Grand Rapids Catholic Central topped the Trojans 51-13 in the conference opener in Grand Rapids Tuesday, “We got bullied on Tuesday. They just flat out took it to us,” said Bays after Friday night's victory “There wasn't a lot of screaming (in practice Wednesday). There wasn’t a lot of, ‘I'm dissappoihted in you.’ We had a talk about what we needed to do to get back playing the way we know we’re capable of. It showed tonight that that worked. But, we have to consistently play at a higher level.” “I saw the focus on the ’ defensive end (Friday) where; we lacked in the Catholic Central game, where we were 44 ■I Sil Ilf ft M. . j I * 7 u-4. r^"' •^5 >1 *** rw T' it *** I 3 */ A ’ / / shots,” Rynearson said. He credited former TK head coach Lance Laker for some of the effort. Laker joined the Trojans at practice after their win over Catholic Central and worked on some drills and some team building exercises. “From that moment on their energy level was through the roof. Apparently they didn't sleep last night and it carried them through to today and they just came out with-a lot of energy,” said Rynearson. Peter Beck did his best to try and carry Hastings, finish­ ing with nine points and eight rebounds. Hastings also got eight points from Alex McMahon. The Trojans forced 20 Saxon turnovers in the ball game. Thornapple Kellogg jumped out to an early lead in its OK Gold Conference opener with visiting Grand Rapids Catholic Central Tuesday.

Hastings came out in a 1-3-1 zone, and guard Louis Koepke shot the Saxons out of it. He hit a three-pointer 30 seconds into the game, and TK led the rest of the way. Koepke scored his team's first seven points, but foul trouble limited him a bit the rest of the night. The Trojans had struggled a bit against the 1-3-1 zone of Grand Rapids Catholic Central in the conference opener Tuesday in Middleville. “He hits a big three right off the get-go, and then I think we score another bucket and boom they're out of that (1-3-1),” Rynearson said, “We struggle in it and maybe they stay in it and things don’t go our way right away. He was a spark plug to get us all going. Then, Tommy Hamilton does his thing. He scored and got to the bucket when he wanted to and made free throws.” Hamilton led TK with 19 points. Clay Francisco had nine, Clayton Kruisenga fin-’ ished the night with eight points, 1'om Williamson had seven, and Dalton Phillips finished with five. TK had nine different guys score in the win. A handful of Hastings turnovers in the first few minutes helped TK to a 12-2 start. The Trojans led 19-6 by the end of the opening quarter and upped that lead to 32-13 at the half. “Defensively, you can't ask for more than that. We had good ball pressure, we were tough around the basket, we rebounded, we made giving up the lane. We were focused and it was five players focused on doing their job for the team. That was big for us.” The Trojans' defensive effort Friday focused on Saxon sophomore forward Maddie Dailey. With the trio of Brandi Weslow, Jenna Shoobridge and Grace Possett helping lead the defensive effort up top, the Trojans held Dailey to just six points. Kelli Graham had a great all-around game for TK. She had 13 steals to go with her game-high 23 points, also adding four rebounds and four assists. We played our normal ‘chaos' defense and went ‘buzz' a little bit, but our main thing was that we were going to take away Maddie Dailey, Dailey,"” Bays said. “We know that's their best player and they look to get her the ball a lot and they depend on her a lot. We wanted to take away something. That’s what we like to do. I know Maddie didn’t have the same game that she usually does, but things like that are done out: >of respect, when a coach has respect for a player.” The Trojans were man-to­ man with Dailey most of the night, and trapping everyone 44 else all over the floor. It was successful from the start. TK led 12-5 after one quarter and upped its lead to 24-7 by half­ time. “We knew that they run a 1-3-1 half-court trap and we practiced against it all week,” said Hastings head coach Mike Engle. "We did not defend ourselves as quickly in practice, nearly as quickly, not even close to as quickly as they did in the game.” It didn't help the Saxons that the Trojans had a solid shooting night. Behind Graham, Victoria Fuller had 13 points. She also added tour rebounds, three assists and three steals. Syd Krol chipped in five steals, Hastings was led by Grace Meade's eight points. Dailey had six. lhe Trojans are now 7-3 overall this season and are off until Friday when they will play host to Wayland. The Cougars jumped on TK from the start Tuesday, outscoring the Trojans 17-2 in the opening quarter and 35-7 in the first half. Kyra Bussell led GRCC with 17 points and Sophia Karasinski had 16.

Board member Josh Thomas said the bond is con­ servative and noted the dis­ trict has some definite needs. Board President Dave Smith said the district was hoping for an increase in the per-pupil foundation allowance to help with some of the costs. That, however, hasn't happened. “We’re looking at some items that are clearly needs. We’ve been fortunate to have bond money pay for these kinds of needs in the past, but we don’t have those bond funds any more,” said Smith. Board members noted the district has good facilities now and they want to be able to maintain those facilities. Enslen said the bond, if approved, would likely be spent over a five-year period. The board has outlined a -S’ million bond detailed list of items that bond dollars would be used for, if approved. Those include renovations at the middle elementary and schools to create vestibules forcing visitors into the office before entering the school. This would provide increased security within the district. The high school is already set up with a vestibule. Nearly $1.7 million would be designated for technology » upgrades, including more computers, improvements to the phones, wireless networking, desktop labs and other technology needs within classrooms. Other projects would include purchasing new buses, heating and cooling controls in the buildings, repaving bus loops, replac­ ing sidewalks, replacing windows, and removing the I f See BOND, page 9 * Steelcase plant sold to Chicago firm d by Fran Faverman Staff Writer ~ The massive Steelcase building on M-37 in Kentwood has been sold to Franklin Partners, a Chicago firm. Franklin Partners has been redeveloping former manufacturing facilities in West Michigan, according to a press release received early this week from Duke Suwyn, president and principal of Colliers International of West Michigan, the firm handling i ft M 1337/ n < I > r the transaction. The transaction is expected to be completed sometime in the first quarter of the year. It is not the first acquisition of a Steelcase facility by Franklin, The company acquired a plant at 5353 Broadmoor and successfully sold the plant to the W.K. Kellogg Corporation which uses the facility as a bakery. As Steelcase changed its manufacturing operations, the plant became surplus and the company announced two years ago that the 885,000 squarefoot facility at 5565 facilitv Broadmoor would be vacated. The plant sits on a 125-acre site and is part of what is known as the Kentwood Campus of Steelcase. . Gary Tamminga, facilities manager at Franklin, said the 31-year-old building will read­ ily lend itself to redevelop­ ment as a multi-tenant facility. He said the building was built to a standard that could not be justified today in terms of cost, alone. Township Caledonia Treasurer Richard Robertson said the sale of the plant has no effect on the township tax rev­ enues but could conceivably have an effect on job opportu­ nities for Caledonia residents as the site is redeveloped. The property lies within the Caledonia school district. The district will continue to benefit from property taxes associated with the site.

At its Jan. 13 meeting, the board re-elected David Smith as president of the board, and Don Haney will continue as vice chair. Cindy Ordway was reelected as secretary and Joyce Bobolts as treasurer. The board also approved continuing the board mem­ ber reimbursement at $ 15 per regular and special called meetings. Board members received a special thank-you from stu­ dents in honor of January as school board appreciation month. Student council members from Page Elementary School thanked the board with gift certificates to the Big Easy in Middleville for the “big decisions you make that make learning easier,” they said. Molly Hulbert, an eighth grader, created a picture representing the schools that will be placed on coffee mugs for the board members. And high school and mid­ dle school woods class students made cutting boards and coasters for each of the board members. The district board mem­ bers have more than 70 years experience. collectively, Smith and Kim Selleck have each served 20 years, Haney for 14 years, Ordway for 10 years, Bobolts and Joshua Thomas each for three years, and Anne Hamming is in her first year. In another area. Page Principal Michael Gelmi offered information about how the school is trying to improve math scores. He said all students get an addi­ tional 30 minutes per day or every other day to work on math. During that time, stu­ dents from each classroom are divided into four blocks. Those blocks of students are created based on the individ­ ual student’s level of math skills. Students needing more assistance are grouped together so a teacher can work on review'. Students at more advanced levels are grouped so they may continue applying skills already learned. During the math blocks, students engage in math activities that they would not otherwise get in the class­ room. For example, one group worked on a budget for a Thanksgiving dinner. Another figured the area of Santa's workshop, and oth­ ers designed their own homes while calculating square footage, Students said they like going to different classrooms and working with different teachers on these types of math lessons that can be applied to real-life scenarios, Gelmi told the board. The groups rotate and are reorganized about every four weeks, he added. Gelmi talked about the Star Base program fifth graders attend at the Air National Guard base in Battle Creek. Students described it as hands-on work where they create, design and learn about science, technology, math and engineering. Each fifth grade class gets to attend five full-day sessions and earn a certificate of completion if they attend each day. Students get to work with three-dimensional printers, make their own space lab station, create egg carriers that must protect eggs w hen propelled into a stationary wall, and learn about new technologies. ‘ The program is paid for by the U.S. Department of Defense and targets rural school districts. While the program is free, the district has to cover costs of trans­ portation. Gelmi said the fifth graders have been able to go to Star Base for about the past nine years. He said fifth graders look forward to the program all year. c e Sidewalks and sewer lines don't get far at Caledonia Township meeting by Fran Faverman Staff Writer The public and board comment periods provided most of the interest at the recent Jan. 15 Caledonia Township Board of Trustees meeting.’ Adam DeFields, who is building a home at 7869 Golf Point Drive, spoke to the board. He said he has incurred an additional $4,500 in excavation costs to find a sewer lateral. Since he is already paying for the sewer on his tax bill for the lot, DeFields said he feels V * »• « * the additional expense to find the lateral means he is paying twice for the same service. • Contractor Brent Cox said he had worked from as-built plans the township had accepted but the lateral was not where it was supposed to be. The Miss Dig service was called in three times to locate electrical and' gas lines. Treasurer Township Richard Robertson said he had recommended DeFields attend a board meeting and explain the situation, saying his initial concern was safety. Trustee Donald Koopmans asked, how far off the lateral actually was. Ten fee was Cox’s reply. “The plumber actually had to hand dig to find it,” added Cox. ’ Along with being 10 feet off, the lateral was also 10 feet deep, Robertson said IO feet is a expectation, reasonable adding that it is the develop­ er’s responsibility. “I don’t feel the township has any responsibility, responsibility, ” 5* ‘’Im •l Kent County homeless veterans, families J r u- c benefitting from federal housing program • I AtJ Si Koopmans concluded. ing the sew'er contract with No action was taken by Grand Rapids.

I ?■ * ' 5 ' Ai R! ■ .X I 4 ■ MB ► Staff Writer Middleville Planning com­ missioners learned officials from Carveth Village have decided they will likely not restore the old bam on their property as originally planned. Instead, owners said they will remove the structure. Village officials told plan­ ning commission members restoration costs were report­ edly prohibitive, prompting the change. A revised planned unit development for the Carveth Village site is expected to be brought to the commission’s planning March meeting. Carveth Village secured approvals from the planning commission in November on a planned unit development that would increase parking at the site. It also included refurbishing the bam. Planning commissioners at the Jan. 22 meeting said it’s too bad the barn isn’t going to be saved since it has been a landmark in the community for more than 100 years. They also said they recog­ nized the bam is in rough shape and in need of major repairs. Without those repairs, they said, the barn could become a hazard, In other business, the planning commission reviewed suggested ordinance revi­ sions from the village attor­ ney. They also discussed concerns made by the village council especially relating to the timing of electronic signs in the village. e> Village council members at an earlier meeting opposed the idea of allowing changing text every two seconds and said the planning commis­ sion should rethink that guideline, Planning commissioners said they had lengthy discussion about the signs and several businesses owners were involved. Commissioner Austin Tumes suggested the planning commission consider increasing the time to four seconds. Council members noted the village sign at the comer of Main Street and M- 37 is on an eight-second change. Some commission members said that was almost too long and opted the four seconds would be a bet­ ter minimum standard within the village. In other matters: • Fran French and Shellie McQueen will continue to lead the Middleville planning commission in 2014. The two were re-elected to the leader­ ship roles on the commission. Sue Reyff will continue serv­ ing as secretary for the group. • Serving on the ordinance committee will be Judy Kruse, French, Reyff and Sherry Ronning as an alter­ nate. • ‘ • Appointed to the site plan review committee were Amanda Pullen, French and Turnes, with Reyff as an alternate. • The joint planning commission will be served by French, Ronning and McQueen, with Kruse as an alternate. Tumes will serve as the liaison to the zoning board of appeals.

A As we get closer to April 15, 2014, the tax-filing dead­ line, you may be wonderin O about the effects of some of your actions on the amount of taxes you pay. Of course, you don't have total com­ mand of some key tax-relat­ ed components, such as your earned income. But one area in which you do have a degree of control is your investment-related taxes. And since 2013 has been a pretty good year for the financial markets, you may have some sizable gains. If you decide to sell some of your investments to “lock in" those gains, what would be the tax consequences? Essentially, the answer depends on two variables: your tax bracket and how long you’ve held the invest­ ments. Our tax code rewards those investors who hold their investments for longer time periods. Consequently, short-term capital gains, earned on investments held for less than one year before being sold for a profit, are taxed at an individual’s ordi­ nary income tax rate, which, in 2013, can be as high as 39.6%. However, long-term capital gains, earned on investments held one year or longer, are taxed at just 15% for mOst taxpayers and 20% for thOse in the 39.6% brack­ et. (At this tax bracket, a 3.8% Medicare contribution tax may also apply to long­ term gains, so the top capital gains rate would be 23.8%.) You'll need to check with your tax advisor for more details. From a tax standpoint, you are likely to be better off by keeping your profitable investments at least one year before selling them. But are there also other reasons to bold investments for the long term? In a word, yes. For one thing, if you are constantly buying and selling invest­ ments, you won't just incur taxes — you’ll also rack up commissions and fees. And these costs can eat into your investments' real rate of return. Also, if you are always buying and selling, you may be doing so for the wrong reasons. You might be chas­ ing after “hot" investments, even though by the time you buy them, they may already be cooling off — and, in any case, they may not even be right for your needs. Or. you might decide you need to “shake things up" in your portfolio you because vou haven’t liked what you've seen on your investment statements for a longer peri­ od of time. But if the overall market is down, it tends to drag everything down with it — even quality vehicles that still have good prospects. But most importantly, if you are always buying and selling, you will find it diffi­ cult to follow a unified, long­ term investment strategy — one that’s based on your goals, risk tolerance and time Bard Bloom, O.D.

When you follow such a strategy, you may indeed buy and sell invest­ ments, but only at those times when it's really neces­ sary, such as when you need to further diversify your holdings, a fundamental change in the company has occurred or when the suitability rating of the invest­ ment has changed. While diversification can't guarantee profits or protect against loss, it can help reduce the impact of volatility on your portfolio, If you want to cut down on your capital gains taxes, holding quality investments for the long term makes sense. And for an investment strategy, a “buy and hold" approach can better position you long after tax season has ended.

By the end of the drive, Dec. 17, more than 570 items were collected to share with others in need. The first delivery to local students came just in time for the arc- tic freeze.

Staff Writer Caledonia fire chief Brian Bennett would appreciate a little help from residents. “If you have a fire hydrant in your front yard, we would appreciate it very much if you would dig it out,” he said in a conversation with the Sun and News this week. “All of our hydrants are flagged,” Bennett added, “The hydrants get buried in the snow, but the snow plow drivers can't help it. The snow has to go somewhere. We are answering all our calls with a tender [water truck] just to be safe.” The massive amounts of snow makes getting to the scene of a call more complicated because streets have been narrowed by the snow banks. The width of most fire equipment occupies a traffic lane almost completely, in normal circumstances. Unlike surrounding communities Caledonia continues to be very fortunate in that no residential fires have occurred. However as Lt. Kyle Fennell observed, “It is bound to happen eventually.” Bennett also has nothing but praise for the efforts of Ryan Moseley from Infrastructure Alternatives, the manager of Caledonia's water and sewer departments, “Ryan has had an extra crew in to dig out the fire hydrants and make sure they are all right,” Bennett said. It seems that the water department owns the fire hydrants and the fire department simply uses them.

Though it's not reached crisis levels, a current short­ age of election workers is causing concern for some local government officials. At the same time, their need for election assistance can also be an opportunity for citizens to become more actively involved in civic government. “Every year there’s short­ Thornapple age,” says Clerk Susan Township A huge part of Vlietstra. the election process is indi­ viduals who volunteer or ll who work during election times in the position of elec­ tion inspector. Michigan has 83 counties, 274 cities, and 1,242 townships and, during an election, each of these units of gov­ ernment requires a staff of paid workers to work at the polls. Of particular concern in partisan townships and precincts dominated by one political party, recruiting election inspectors from all parties has become challenging. Precinct inspectors (election inspectors) are people who are paid to assist voters at the polls on Election Day. Registered voters interested in serving as election inspec­ tors must submit an election inspector application to their local township clerk. In addi- tion to their name, address and date of birth, applicants must include their political party preference and qualifications to fill the position such as education or experi­ ence. A precinct inspector must be a registered voter of the State. They cannot be a chailenger, candidate, member of a candidate's immediate family, or a member of the local of Canvassers. Board Anyone convicted of a felony or an election crime may not serve. Precinct inspectors are compensated positions covered by the federal Minimum Wage Act. “The biggest thing about the election inspector posi tion is the declaration of affiliation, party affiliation,” says Vlietstra. “To maintain the January Arctic freeze and snow hits area lead 2UO190 5Oi otni besolo ibnafxe obeleO Deep piles of snow, high winds blowing the snow across fields and roads, and dan­ gerously cold temperatures forced numerous cancellations and sent many drivers into roadside ditches and snowbanks. Caledonia and Thornapple Kellogg schools closed Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday this week giving students yet another extended break, but putting the districts at risk of needing to make up time at the end of the-year.

With respect to declarations of Jaws and resolutions, term limits for elected officials, support for educational and infrastructure millage and emergency services and libraries, there is the ever present opportunity for regis­ tered residents to participate in the election process, as a part of civil service. “Anybody can apply,” said Vlietstra, “applications are available at your city, vil­ lage or township office. V Additionally, it It is not uncommon for students to participate as election inspectors for credit for gov­ ernment class.” According to Michigan Election Law Act 116 of 1954 |( www.legislature.mi.gov), “the board of election com­ missioners appoints one election inspector as chair­ person, and one election inspector from each major political party. An equal number, as is possible, of election inspectors in each election precinct from each major political party is required. The board of election cannot commissioners appoint a person as an elec­ tion inspector (precinct inspector) if that person declares a political party party but is a known active advocate of another political party. ll Thornapple Township has three precincts, in separate locations, due to the large and growing popula- See ELECTION, pg. 5 Eagle spotted in Middleville Several people have reported seeing bald Eagles fly­ ing around Middleville in recent days.

Lamoreaux became the village Downtown Development Authority event coordinator about 18 months ago. Her role was simple: to help promote, to coordinate and to grow the many activities and events sponsored by the DDA in efforts of promoting the vil­ lage, attracting more visitors, and creating a sense of com­ munity for area residents. She says it was a job she loved. Like everything she does, though, Lamoreaux says she put more time in than originally planned. “I don’t do anything half way,” she relates. “If I take on a job, I do it with my whole heart and soul so the event coordinator took a lot more time than it was sup­ posed to.” She’s retiring now and handing over the reigns to Mike Schmidt. But retire­ ment for Lamoreaux is far y. I from a life of rest and relax­ ation. After all, she already retired once after a 20-year career with the U.S. Postal Service. During her career there she was a postmaster in Battle Creek and Comstock Park, was a mail handler at one time and even drove a five-ton truck before work­ ing in communications. Now, in her second retire­ ment, Lamoreaux has a long list of plans. First, she wants to spend more time with her four chil­ dren and 13 grandchildren -­ with No. 14 expected in a few weeks. “Four of my grandchil­ dren are in college now,” she marvels. “It’s just time for me to spend more time with them and be more involved with what they do,” she said. Two of Lamoreaux’s children, Jerry Havenaar and live in Jena Nooney, Plainwell. Her other two children, John and Jay Havenaar, live in Illinois. “I want to be able to spend more time with all of them,” she says. Second on her list of plans comes from the snowy days that have given her time to organize and to de-clutter her home office, which leads to yet another plan. Lamoreaux hopes to begin digitizing historical records within Barry County. She and her husband, Cal, have already taken a class at Michigan State University to learn the Library of Congress system for digitizing records. “It’s a lot like the Dewey ’ Decimal system,” Lamoreaux explains, “it's a whole system in place for storing records and historical items.” She’s hoping to work with the Barry County Historical Society to help make the Jean Lamoreaux (middle) receives a plaque of appreciation from Downtown project happen and to organ­ Development Authority Board Chairperson Mike Lytle and Village Manager Rebecca ize the information. “I’m a history lover,” Fleury.

A minimum of four election inspectors is ideal for each of our precincts, but this num­ ber can be reduced if election traffic to the hall during the election event does not war­ rant it” The election schedule set for this year, according to the state of Michigan, shows elections slated for Feb. 25, May 6, a primary election Aug. 5 and general election Nov. 4, 2014. Deadlines to applying for the election inspector positions are gen­ erally a month before the next scheduled election. Applications are reviewed and approved by the election commission, comprised of the township clerk, supervi­ sor and treasurer. According to Michigan Election Law documentation provided by Vlietstra, ‘a per­ son shall not be appointed to a board of election inspectors ’ \»iFK y r I '• & v 41 - ■ ** ■*. unless the person has filed an application with a city, town­ ship or village clerk in that county where the individual wishes to serve as election inspector', effectively allowing for out-of-county residents, who are registered electors of the State of Michigan, to apply for an inspector position in the jurisdiction they wish to work for. The responsibilities of an election inspector is to con­ duct assigned duties at a polling site on Election Day. Duties can include issuing ballots to registered voters, registering voters, monitor­ ing the voting equipment, explaining how to mark the ballot or use the voting equipment or counting votes, The cost for training a qualified election inspector is paid for by the township and, in Barry County, “training is required every two years and is done by the county clerk,” said Vlietstra. “The inspector is paid a wage for the time they are in training as well as the time they work during the election day. This varies from each municipality to be an hourly wage per day or half day. Training typically takes a half day at the county level plus any additional training required or optional by the local clerk,” explained Vlietstra. In recent years, election activity recording software has been developed to streamline the election tally­ ing process; connecting all entities to a centralized hub of functionality, Equipment that an elec­ tion inspector can anticipate to be trained on includes the Michigan Qualified Voter comput­ File. The QVF is a computerized statewide voter regis­ tration and election manage­ ment system that links election officials throughout the State of Michigan to a fully automated, interactive voter registration database that is monitored by the State and Bureau of Elections. “The software allows for birth.” According to Vlietstra, the townships' each pay for pro­ gramming of the computer software each year. The county clerk asks each precinct how many ballots are needed. The paper ballots are issued to each township precinct and paid for by the county. For a school millage request, the county pays for the ballots and bills the school for the cost of the bal­ lots. Unused ballots are dis­ carded the day after certifica­ tion of the polling results is completed by the Board of Canvasser. * “There is a lot of behindthe-scenes preparation tak­ ing place, starting about two weeks before an election event,” said Vlietstra, “I am a part of an extremely impor­ tant process of our democrat­ ic governing system. It means something. Maintaining the integrity of the process is part of that meaning. I love the interac­ tion of people on election day, all part of a much larger process that wouldn't work without us. Interested residents are urged to contact their town­ ship clerk for an application or to ask questions. To access to your voting regis­ tration information, go to www.michigan.gov/sos and selecting Vote/elections in , Michigan, or directly at https://webapps.sos.state.mi. us/mivote, the Michigan Voter Information Center (MVIC). “There is a lot of behind-the-scenes preparation taking place, starting about two weeks before an election event.

TK has three first-time champs at OK Gold Meet by Brett Bremer Sports Editor The Trojans had a trio of conference champions Friday night. None of them had ever won a conference championship before. Two of them hadn't wres- before this season. One of them wasn’t even a part of the high school program before this season. “Kyle Krey had a bit of success last year, so he was probably a favorite coming into the conference season, but Jacob (Gordon) and Chris Thomapple Kellogg’s Ryan Gorton fights to try and break free from the grasp of Catholic Central’s Domenic Ciucci during the third period of their 112-pound championship match Friday at the OK Gold Conference Meet in Middleville. Ciucci took a 12-6 victory in the bout (Photo by Brett Bremer) that starting line-up. Chris Kaboos hasn’t been on the team before. For those two to come in, really inexperienced it’s a big step for both of them and they both come back next year so, good for us," said TK head coach Scott Szczpanek. Krey took the 145-pound championship at the OK Gold Conference Meet in Middleville Friday, pinning Hastings’ Chase Reaser just 38 seconds into the final match. He pinned both of his opponents on the day, also sticking Ottawa Hills' Travond Roby 1 minute and 50 seconds into their semifi­ nal match. Gordon only had to win the championship match to get his title at 103 pounds. He needed just 1:34 to pin Catholic Central's Reece Digiovanna. Kaboos scored a 9-5 deci­ sion against Wayland's Brendan Wagner in the 135pound championship match. Kaboos built a quick 5-0 lead, putting Wagner on his back in the first period, but Wagner evened the bout with a rever­ sal which put Kaboos on his back in the final ten seconds of the period. Kaboos was solid for the final four min­ utes though, riding Wagner for the full second period, then scoring a quick reversal in the third as well as a pair of near fall points. TK also had three runnersup, three third-place medalists and three guys who placed fourth. That wasn’t quite enough to catch Hastings for second place in the standings.

A passerby reportedly saw smoke coming from the home and called fire depart­ ments.

Students from both schools planned to deck out in the green colors of MSU and their basketball teams intended to sport green socks, contrasting with the customary Trojan black and orange and Saxon blue and gold. Nolff was a 2012 graduate of Thomapple Kellogg High School, but also attended Hastings schools in earlier year at MSU. He and another former TK student, Corbin Holwerda, were both shot in the apartment a week ago Jan. 31. Holwerda, who graduated from Grand Haven High School, was treated and released for his injuries. Nolff was reportedly shot four times and, after being placed on life support, died Saturday Feb. 1. Grief counselors were at TKHS Monday to help stu­ dents deal with the tragedy. .

Some years we don't have much or don't have any. This year, we've got way more than we hoped for, but it’s going to make it a great Winterfest,” said event 1 chairperson Rich Paiz.

(Photo by Julie Makarewicz) by Julie Makarewicz • Staff Writer Thomapple Kellogg stu­ dents will be in session Feb. 17 and March 14, days origi­ nally planned as staff profes­ sional days with students having the day off. Because of the unusual winter and the number of missed days due to inclement weather, Thornapple Kellogg Superintendent Tom Enslen said those two days will now be used as make up days. • Currently, the district needs to make up at least four days. TK schools have been closed on 11 dates because of weather. One day was only a half day and only fof high school students. With 10 full days off district wide, officials expect they may have to make up at least some of those days to meet state requirements for stu­ dents to be in class. The district also tentatively is considering June 6 as a full day for all students, Currently, it is only sched- uled as a half day for high school students. • Enslen, in a districtwide parent memo, said the June 6 date is tentative and other actions may still be needed to make up the missed days. Enslen said he’s been in contact with other school officials and legislators about the snow day issue. He said there are definitely still some uncertainties, including whether the district will lose more days due to the weather. There are also questions about how state legislators will support and direct school districts regarding the Districts, missed days, including TK, may face extending the school year further into June, but that decision has not yet been determined. The high school graduation date of May 22 will not be affected by the weather days, according to school officials. » < ■ t. 4 In This Issue...

Council members current­ ly receive $2,200 per year. At Tuesday’s committee of the whole meeting, members discussed whether or not that should be increased partly because they now attend more meetings. “I think we deserve more. said council member Shannon (Endsley) Haigh, who requested the discussion I *55 II 4* be brought to the full com­ mittee of the whole. “We've sat on the back burner for a long time. We deserve something as well. Our employees have gotten raises. Are we out of the red now? When are we worthy of raises?” It's been several years since the council members received pay hikes. Haigh pointed out that when the salary was estab­ lished at $2,200 per year, the council members attended two council meetings per month. They also served on various committees that met regularly. Now, the council not only continues the two monthly S GVSU dean's list Grand Valley State University has announced the names of students who were placed on the dean's list for the fall 2013 semester.

That would mean an increase in the trustee salaries of almost $8,000 - or a $1,100 pay hike per trustee. . There was mixed reaction from the council members about any pay hike at all and some especially thought a 50 percent pay hike was too much. “We've had to raise water and sewer rates to formulate balances for those funds,” observed council member Ed Schellinger. “I do not in any way support an increase in trustee pay. There's enough burden on the taxpayers now. Are we doing this job for a dollar amount or are we doing it to be involved in the community?

Council members dis­ cussed the issue at Tuesday’s committee of the whole . meeting. It was brought to their attention earlier by Middleville Police Sgt. Tony Stein. He said he’s received complaints about people hunting or target practicing with bows and arrows in heavily residential areas. The village currently has no regulations against bow and arrow use. The current ordinance only applies to firearms being prohibited in the village. Village council member Mike Lytle said using bows and arrows could become a dangerous situation if people are not using common sense and shooting away from homes and populations. He added that the high-powered cross bows can be especially deadly.

' Council members questioned the large discrepancy in bid prices. “I’m all for taking the cheapest one, but I would like to know if there are going to be any hidden costs. I want to compare apples to apples. There is a big difference in the bids,” said coun­ cil member Joyce Lutz. Fleury said all three bidders received the same specifications for the project. She also reviewed each of the bids and said she thinks the low bidder met those qualifi­ cations and specifications, Any of the bids, she pointed out, could impose additional costs if there are issues with the dig or findings in the dig.

Even though it’s only February, college financial aid officers are already gath­ ering documents, crunching numbers and otherwise working to determine grants for the school year that starts this coming fall. If you have children you plan on sending to college, how will your own savings and investments affect their chances of get­ ting financial aid? The answer depends not only on how much money you have, but also where you keep it. Most colleges base their aid calculations on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which currently counts up to 5.64 percent of certain parentowned assets in determining federal or state aid. By con­ trast, FAFSA counts up to 20 percent of a child’s assets, such as an UGMA or UTMA account. So, what parent-owned assets are counted when determining a student's need tor financial aid? They include savings and checkin; If I k !| ’Ihb k 5x’• It ■X‘ N S' k Si * ■ S1. * » iffllijir accounts, non-retirement investment accounts and other types of assets. You do not have to report retirement accounts — such as traditional or Roth IRAs, 401 (k)s on the and pensions FAFSA. However, if you start taking withdrawals from these accounts, the withdrawals must be reported on the FAFSA as student income for the year in which the transactions occurred — which means these withdrawals could affect your child’s financial aid package the following year. A 529 plan, is one popular college-savings vehicle. If you own a 529plan, you will need to report it on FAFSA as a parent-owned asset. But when you take withdrawals from the 529 plan, they won’t be counted as parent or student income on FAFSA, and they won’t incur federal income taxes, provided the money is used for qualified higher educa­ tion expenses.

Two different workshops focusing on raising happy, healthy and safe children will be offered this month by the Family Support Center of Barry County.

At least a year before your first child heads off to college, you may want to contact the financial aid office at a local school to ask questions about FAFSA, scholarships, loans and other aspects of assistance. Since most colleges and universities follow similar rules regarding financial aid, you should be able to get some helpful answers, no matter where your child goes to school. Of course, even with care­ ful planning, your student may not qualify for financial aid. If this is the case, you will need to consider other strategies for paying for college. But keep this in mind: It's best to develop a savings strategy for both college sav­ ings and one's own retire­ ment goals. So, study the financial aid rules, consider investing in college-funding vehicles such as 529 plans and do whatever else you can to help get your kids through school, but don’t forget about your own needs — because they are important, too.

The weekend is filled with activities for all ages and all interests — from the Ice Tee goif contest, to a 1980s dance party, comedy show, beer run, swimsuit fashion show and of course the Polar Dip in Gun Lake. There are also children’s games, ice skating, snow volleyball, entertainment, snowmobile show and music trivia con­ test, to name a few of the events scheduled. “We all know there is a lot of fun going on around Gun Lake all summer, but we also want people to know there is a lot of fun on the lake in the winter, too,” said Paiz.

Each of the three elemen­ tary buildings and the middle school will do the campaign slightly differently to adjust to the age appropriateness. But the goal is the same to promote and to encourage kids simply being kind tcf each other. Brian Willshire, middle school counselor, said mid­ dle school and high school seem to be the years when students suffer the most from bullying and hurtful words from other students. “In middle school, stu­ dents are trying to figure out who they are and how they fit in and sometimes it’s hard,’’ he explained. Even elementary students, though, sometimes face teas­ ing and harsh words from classmates. -* Willshire said the district conducts conducts student student surveys about buiiying and he believes the district hasi an overall healthy environment. gut be also knows there are cases of bullying and times when students’ feelings are hurt by others. Willshire said it’s simple really. “It’s the hierarchy of needs,” he pointed out. “Students can’t start learning until their basic needs are met and those basic needs include feeling safe. Kids emotionally need to be in a safe place where they can learn.” During the week, there wjy be pledge posters on the walls for students to sign and morning announcements and videos reminding students about tbe simple acts of kindness. Students will be able to participate in school­ wide dress up days to help promote ideas of being kind to each other. Counselors throughout the district said the important thing is that this is not just a one-week project. They say it’s something that needs to continue throughout the year. “We’re just going to focus a lot of attention on kindness tbjs one week and, hopefully, jfs something that will carry over throughout the year and into the community and not just at school,” said high school counselor Nancy Iveson. “We want our students to be good citizens.” CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF CALEDONIA _ BOARD OF TRUSTEES Meeting Minutes The minutes for the January 15th, 2014 Township Board of Trustees Meeting which were approved on February 5th, 2014, are posted at the Township Offices at 8196 Broadmoor Ave, and on the website at www.caledoniatownship.org. - 06834792 NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING THORNAPPLE TOWNSHIP PLANNING COMMISSION MONDAY February 24, 2014 7:00 P.M.

Hastings, I couldn't be more proud of the way they handled things and the support that they showed. It was two communities coming together in a time of need and I'm just happy that they handied it the way they did.

They weathered the storm we put on and battled back and got it down to single digits and made a game out of it. The Saxons got 11 points from Cole Harden, nine from Aaron Bronson and six from Ian Beck. “Since the first game, our toughness has gotten much better,” said Hastings head coach Steve Storrs. “It’s something we didn’t have in the beginning. It’s still not all the way there, especially mentally. We have so many unforced turnovers and we pretty much started off doing everything we said not to do.

Thomapple Kellogg’s varsity wrestling team knocked off Hamilton 40-31 in the Division 2 District Semifinal, topping a team which topped it by three points in a dual in early January. Byron Center scored the district championship though, first topping Wayland 66-10 and then the Trojans 63-7 in the district final. The Bulldogs won the first ten weight classes in the district final, breaking out to a 54-0 lead against a team with 11 wrestlers who took part in the district final that weren't varsity wrestlers a year ago. “Unfortunately I think our guys, before the match, took it upon themselves to decide maybe they didn t have a great shot of winning and that carried over to their physical performance, which was disappointing. But, that’s what inexperience in young kids can do,” said TK head coach Scott Szczepanek. “The goal is to turn it into a learning moment, a teachable moment where we can say hey, ‘when you don't give yourself a shot at all that's the type of thing that happens’ and it turns out to be a little more disappointing. One of the varsity wrestlers with experience for the Trojans, Nick Iveson, finally broke the Bulldog run. Iveson fought off a take down attempt by Byron Center 152pounder Eriq Gonzalez in the second period, scooting around on his back side with one hand posted until he was able to get his legs free and work his way on top for a take down. That determined effort % Fl r* ■ ’ -r -1 put him in front 5-3, and he went on to a 7-5 victory.

Collin Busing (135) and Ryan Vasbinder (215) scored major decisions for Byron Center. Jacob Riekena (130) and Taylor Rambin (112) tallied technical falls. Joshua Lee picked up a 5-3 win over TK’s Kyle Kraus in the 171­ pound match, and William Doran won by forfeit at 125 pounds.

M-43 Highway, Hastings, Ml 49058 / Police arrest possible suspect in shooting death of TK graduate by Julie Makarewicz [I Staff Writer U.S. Marshals, alorig with Grand Rapids Police arrested a 19-year-old man in Grand Rapids Tuesday night and say he is a suspect in the Jan. 31 shooting of Thomapple Kellogg High School gradu­ ate Dominique “DJ” Nolff. Nolff, 20, was shot while in his off-campus Michigan State University apartment. He died Feb. 1 at a Lansing hospital. The suspect, Marquay Shaquilleedris McCoy, was arrested at approximately LU jitbiD -QI B biqfifl )fl YB2 fe IE plte>I )CJ 3tB loZ gid ni L ib aH liqgori )dT jpBfIZ J231TB Marquay McCoy 8:30 p.m. after police sur­ rounded a home on Temple Street in southeast Grand Rapids where police believed McCoy was lodged. Supervisory Deputy U.S. Marshal Steve Hetherington of the fugitive task force said McCoy had been on the marshafs caseload for about a month since he absconded from parole Jan. 16. McCoy is currently being held in the Kent County Jail on the absconder charge and is not charged in connection with the shooting at this time. Hetherington said about a week ago, marshals developed information about McCoy and believed he was in the Grand Rapids area, After four or five days of surveillance of numerous locations where known family and friends lived, McCoy was seen at the home on Temple Street, Hetherington said marshals surrounded the home and called Grand Rapids Police, who brought in their tactical response team. The residence was believed to be the home of his mother, said Hetherington. Once Grand Rapids offi­ cers and U.S. Marshals had the home surrounded, it took about 45 minutes before they were able to convince McCoy to come out. Hetherington said McCoy walked out through the front door with his hands up and without incident. “McCoy is a suspect in the ongoing and open homicide East investigation in Lansing. Since Jan. 31 ELPD and assisting agencies have been working non-stop to track down suspects in this case. As a result of the inves- tigation, McCoy has been identified as a suspect,” said East Lansing Police in a press release issued Wednesday afternoon. East Lansing Police, with the assistance of several law enforcement partners, identi­ fied McCoy as a possible suspect after surveillance video was released of the suspect entering and leaving the apartment complex where Nolff and another MSU student, Corbin shot. were Holwerda, - See SUSPECT, page 7 Village officials eager to get Caledonia Twp. considers additional started on new park development park property in closed session by Fran Faverman Staff Writer The words came from Caledonia Township Township Supervisor Bryan Harrison’s tight lips and revealed very little of the board of trustee’s closed session dis­ cussion Wednesday evening with Roger Sabine, director County of the Kent Department of Parks and Recreation regarding the acquisition of additional park property within the township. as< will proceed “I instructed by the board," is all Harrison would say when the group went back into open session at 8:45 p.m. With the exception of IT sIbD )qu?

Woody Isaacs, a principal with Viridis Design Group, added to that growing enthu­ siasm when he shared pre­ liminary design plans for the park and community pavil­ ion with members of the Downtown Development Authority board Tuesday. Most of the discussion concerned the design for the community pavilion. The pavilion is planned to be built on the north side of Main Street, centered on the existing clock tower. The 45-by-120-foot cov­ ered structure will provide space for community events, gatherings, farmers markets, and other activities. Open on the sides, but protected from rfiuch of the elements by the roof, the pavilion will also have lights and electricity • v» available.^ Isaacs said the design also feamfes^’ the Middleville stagecoach logo on the gable end by Main Street. At the northern end of the pavilion, a splash pad area is planned as an alternate bid for the project. The water feature would have water fountains that shoot up from the brick pavers, much like the splash pad in place in Hastings. “It would give kids, espe­ cially, a place to get wet," said Isaacs. DDA members agreed water features are great attractions, but questioned how the system will work and if the brick pavers will be too slippety.

Siuda’s letter got the attention of the WGVU staff for her description of how Davis makes science fun. “Mr. Davis is one of the best teachers,” said Siuda. “He makes us have fun and he laughs a lot.

The committee has also had input into the recent updating of the joint master plan for Parks and Recreation between the Village of Caledonia and the township. . While the committee retains is ad hoc title, one of the actions taken by the board at its meeting on Wednesday was to formally appoint members and estab­ lish its status as a committee subject to all of Michigan's FOIA requirements, thus providing access to members of the public. The members of the ad hoc Trails Committee are Hermenet, Harrison, Kathy Jackson, Carla Seigle, and Lisa Segard, representing the Village of Caledonia. The committee was approved unanimously by the board on a 6-0 vote. Harrison held the required public hearing on the granti­ ng of an industrial facilities tax exemption certificate for Live Oak Enterprises, the site of the new plant being built on 68th Street for Rattunde Corporation, a manufacturer of machinery for cutting and shaping tubu- lar steel parts for several industries. Following hearing the board on roll call vote approved the exemption which applies to the facility and equipment used in its business. Rick Stadler, general man­ Rattunde ager of Corporation, thanked the board, saying, "It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Caledonia Township on this project. We expect to be in our new facility in April and we are planning an open house for July 3." Clerk Jennifer Christian introduced a proposal from Revize Software Systems for a new website design, the migration of material from the current website, and services for 1$2,495 plus $1,500 for review of subscriptions. "The new site will be eas­ ier to navigate," reported Christian. She also said that she and Wolf had chosen the company because it special­ izes in government websites and some surrounding communities use it. Responding to questions from board members, both Christian and wolf added that they chose to modify one of the company's existing designs rather than to choose to do a custom design from the beginning, The proposal was approved unanimously.

DDA members also asked about the possibility of a fire bowl near the pavilion for winter time use. Village Manager Rebecca Fleury said, although it was a good idea, it was not pursued because of the liability of an open flame in the area. She said the village can look into some heating elements that are attractive and can be used similarly to open fire bowls. DDA members are considering flooding the pavilion in the winter to create a covered ice skating rink.

The proposed extension of the Paul Henry Thomapple Trail will also pass along the west side of the pavilion and then meander along Railroad Street, past the proposed Veteran's Memorial and eventually out to Crane Road. The trail also loops around to the Thornapple River and the universally accessible watercraft launch on the river. Isaacs said additional trees will be planted along Railroad Street and more parking is planned as part of the overall park development. DDA members discussed the pavilion roof colors and materials. An alternate bid for a metal roof will be available, but Isaacs warned DDA members those types of roofs are generally much more expensive. Isaacs said the DDA and village officials will be involved in selecting the details once the plans and requests for bids are finalized. Village officials hope to begin work on the project this spring or summer as soon as grant funds are available. The village received two grants, one from the Michigan Department of Transportation for the trail extension from the park property to Crane Road, and another from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources Trust Fund for the Riverfront Redevelopment project.

The CTF announced earli­ er this month a new initiative that provides communities throughout Michigan with an opportunity to increase funds for local child abuse preven­ tion efforts. For the next two years, all increases in tax contributions check-off made to CTF will be retumed to the Local Child Abuse Prevention Council in the county of origin through the next grant cycle. “That means all tax check­ off contributions from Barry County made to the CTF will dollar increase in our CTF grant,” points out Jousma. “With this new plan, we have a tremendous opportunity to increase the support coming to Barry County for our child abuse prevention efforts.” To take advantage of the opportunity, Barry County taxpayers need to use Form 4642 to make their charitable contribution to the CTF. Jousma points out that the Family Support Center relies on its CTF grant to u help ''1 with child abuse prevention pro­ gramming. Statewide, CTF grants support a wide range of programs and services through the network of Child Abuse and Neglect Councils. Based on local priorities, funding is used for programs ranging from basic baby care and CRIB safe sleep education to child sexual assault prevention and education to strengthen families to prevent child abuse and neglect. CTF is the only statewide, nonprofit organization dedi­ cated to the prevention of child abuse and neglect. CTF does not receive a state appropriation to support its work, but relies substantially on individual giving through the tax check-off, purchase of the specialty license plate, fundraising efforts like the upcoming Signature Auction Event, and interest earnings. Since its creation in 1982, CTF has raised over $70 mil­ lion and provided support to over 6 million children and families. “ We have a unique oppor­ tunity this tax season to increase funding for the serv­ ices we provide in our county,” says Jousma. “We hope that our county taxpayers will support us through the CTF check-off contribution when they file their state income tax.

Provided by Andrew McFadden of Edward Jones Caledonia FFA advances teams, individuals to competition x Saving is good ... but it’s not investing X V <? It’s a good thing to have some savings. When you put the money in a low-risk account, you can be pretty sure it will be readily avail­ able when you need it. Nonetheless, “saving” is not “investing” — and knowing the difference could pay off for you far into the future. Think abou ’ ’ s way: Saving is for today, O' while investing is for tomorrow. You need your savings to pay for your daily expenses, such as groceries, and your monthly bills — mortgage, utilities, and so on. In fact, you might even want your savings to include an emer­ gency fund containing six to 12 months’ worth of living expenses to pay for unex­ pected costs, such as a new furnace or a major car repair. These are all “here and now” expenses — and you could use your savings to pay for them. But in thinking of your long-term goals, such as college for your children and a comfortable retirement for yourself, most individu­ als typically can’t simply rely on. their savings — they'll need to invest. Why? Because, quite simply, investments can grow — and you will need this growth potential to help - achieve your objectives. To illustrate the difference between saving and invest00 ft 1 u Ww ■ L, 1 i II 'S’ I V ’ w ”ls r*J. is Ktii KI ing, let’s do a quick compar­ ison. Suppose you put $200 per month into a savings account that paid hypotheti­ cal 3% interest (which is actually higher than the rates typically being paid today), After 30 years, ydb would have accumulated about $106,000, assuming you were in the 25% federal tax bracket. Now, suppose you put that same $200 per month in a tax-deferred investment that hypothetical­ ly earned 7% a year. At the end of 30 years, you would end up with about $243,000. (Keep in mind that you would have to pay taxes on withdrawals. Hypotheticals do not include any transaction costs or fees.) This enormous disparity between the amounts accu­ mulated in the two accounts clearly shows the difference saving”” between between ““saving and “investing.” Still, you might be thinking that investing is risky, while savings accounts carry much less risk. And it is certainly true that investing does involve risks — investments can lose value, and there’s no guarantee that losses will be recovered. Nonetheless, if you put all your money in savings, you’re actually incurring an even bigger risk — the risk of not achieving your finan­ cial goals.

While there is never a man­ date that students participate or raise any funds at all, physical education teacher JoAnne Desy said most stu­ dents can’t wait for this day. “They start asking at the beginning of the year, “when do we get to do jump rope?” she said. “They look forward to it from the time they get into this building and they know it’s a big deal.” Since 1996, Elementary has raised more than $313,890 which does not include this year’s total of $27,000. ' Desy said it’s much more than raising funds for the organization. She said the goal is to get kids active, learn about healthy choices, and help them understand that being active for life will help reduce their chances of heart disease.

A change in strategy got things going on the other end of the floor for the Fighting Scots. “We stared out in man and had a hard time keeping their quick guards in front of us,” Bloemers said. “We did a pretty good job with using our length in our zone to really slow their attack down, because they’re lethal when you try to guard them one-onone ” The Pioneers had a stretch of three straight turnovers in the middle of the quarter, Muller was scoring for the Scots, Steven Sammons and Caledonia’s Cody Jonker works his way around East Lo^an Hudson each had a Grand Rapids’ Casey Horjus in the post during the third couple big baskets and Cody quarter of Friday’s Fighting Scot victory at East Grand Jonker came up with some Rapids High School.

We shared the ball the way we've been talking - about doing it.” The Scots got a quick lead . in the second half, only to see the Pioneers pull right back in front. East still led 42-41 in the final minute of the third quarter, until a bucket by Jake Fedewa put the Scots up one with 25 seconds left in the quarter. A block by Jonker at the other end started the Scots back on the attack and Wilson drilled a jumper with a second on the clock to push his teams' lead to 45-42 heading into the final eight minutes, They led the rest of the night, Joe Farrington and Will Schultze finished the night with 14 points each .for the Pioneers. Grant Bailey and Gourney Sloan had seven points apiece. (4 We still are working on putting four quarters together, and obviously we didn't do that tonight,” Bloemers said, “No excuses, but a five-point quarter is unacceptable if you want to really put yourself in positions late in the game to win. Luckily, we did a nice job of executing in the last three quarters.” The Fightin Fightingo Scots host East Kentwood Tuesday in a non-conference make-up, then close out the regular sea­ son at Unity Christian Thursday.

Attorney Mark Nettleton said he would not be able to attend that meeting, but said he will provide some information. Nettleton said there are basically two options for vil­ lage structure, either the home rule or the general law village. The majority of the state's villages operate under the general village law including Middleville. “If I knew, I wouldn’t ask for the information. I don’t know what’s available. I know I want to help people in the village. We pay 1 mill to the township. What do we get for it? H Council member Mike Lytle •w Another classification is the difference between a vil­ lage and city. Nettleton said if the village becomes a city, the boundaries are removed as part of the township and the city stands on its own. As a village, residents participate in township affairs and pay township taxes in addition to having their own village government. Nettleton said there are pros and cons to each system and will put together infor- mation for council members to review. Nettleton said he will pro­ vide information and a dis­ cussion will likely take place at the April committee of the whole meeting when he will be able to attend.

"What do you want to do?" asked Price to which a the resounding answer was, "ban fracking.”. Price used the conference call to explain how CELDF would work with the group to draft ordinances and advise on legal procedures required to be followed by townships in Michigan. The agency has already drafted ordinances prohibiting prohibiting fracking fracking inin over over 1919communities communitiesranging rangingfrom from New New York YorktotoNew NewMexico. Mexico.

An :important ------ ------------------aspect. of .ithe serv­ ices CELDF can provide is teaching supporters of a community rights ordinance how to answer difficult questions. "The purpose of the regula- »it— 61 tory system is to facilitate industry,” Price continued. “The permits legalize the amount of harm they can do but who writes the regulations? They are drafted by the industry. There is no partici­ pation by citizens. [In effect] we can’t enforce anything more. Is that a democratic process?" Price said citizens have two options: to do nothing or to take responsibility for the outcome by trying zoning, fencing, lighting. "Zoning doesn't work because the surface doesn't matter and there are minimal recovery recovery regulations regulations to to pro pro­ tect the the community, community,”” said tect said Price, third Price, who who added added that that aa third option option might might exist. exist.

Village Manager Rebecca Fleury said it’s been the vil­ lage policy that issues in the main line are the responsibil­ ity of the village. But issues in the lines connecting to the home are the responsibility of the property owner. Lutz asked if there were other issues in the village with freezing pipes and said she's heard of other commu­ nities encouraging residents to run their water constantly to prevent freezing. Department of Public Works director Duane Weeks said there are only a couple of residences where they’ve been asked to run water constantly and those are areas, he said, where there have been problems in the past.

She said after the testimony the legislators decided to take more time to study the issue. • Council member Sue Reyff said the village spends a lot of time and money and effort on the recreational trails.

Teen driver arrested for consuming alcohol An 18-year-old Middleville man was arrest­ ed for being a person younger than 21 with any blood alcohol content. A sheriff’s deputy stopped a vehicle on Marsh Road near J°y Road, Shelbyville, for a defective plate light. While speaking with the driver, the officer detected the odor of alcohol. After field sobriety tests, the driver was arrested for zero tolerance since he was under 21 and had con­ receiving a parking com­ plaint due to a large gather­ ing. The'gathering was later found to be a wake for Dominique “DJ” Nolff, a former Thomapple Kellogg High School student who was shot in East Lansing and died Feb. 1. As the officer was leaving the scene of the wake, he noticed a parked vehicle on Bird Road and was suspicious. The officer discovered the vehicle was registered to man from Waterford. The officer became more suspicious knowing Nolff’s killer was still at large and that there was the wake going on in his memory. When the officer reportedly began following the vehicle, the driver picked up speed and the officer believed the vehicle was try­ ing to get away. The driver then pulled into a driveway on Charlton Park Road and turned off its lights. The offi­ cer located two men inside the van, and both reportedly admitted to drinking.

The answer proba­ bly depends on how old you are —* but whatever your age, you’ll want to consider the best way of incorporating Social Security benefits into your retirement income strat­ egy. Of course, if you have sev­ eral decades to go until you retire, you might be wonder­ ing if Social Security will even be there for you at all. The basic issue is that the Social Security system is . experiencing a sharply declining worker-to-beneficiary ratio. In plain English, this means that fewer workers are contributing to Social Security while the huge baby boom generation is retiring and taking money out. Still, Social Security has enough money to pay full retirement benefits to every eligible American until 2038, according to the Congressional Budget Office, After that point, benefits would have to be reduced unless changes are made to the Social Security system. And several changes have indeed been proposed. Given that we do have nearly 25 years until benefit cuts may need to be made, it seems reasonable that some type of solution could be reached to put Social Security back on solid ground. retirement income may also In any case, when thinking include withdrawals from about your retirement retirement accounts, such as income, you need to focus on an IRA and a 401(k), along those things that you can with other investments, such control — such as when to as a fixed annuity.

Of growing concern to Barry County District Court Judge Michael Schipper is what is called “sexting,” or sending sexually explicit photos and messages via cell phones. Often sexting is done by teens and young adults — many of whom are unaware of the dangers and possible legal ramifications of their actions, said Schipper. Take this scenario as an example: Boy meets girl. Girl likes boy and thinks sending him a sexually explicit photo of her­ self will impress him. So she takes a “selfie” and sends it to the supposed man of her dreams. The boy likes the photo and decides not only to keep it on his phone, but to share it with his friends. Unfortunately, this love story doesn’t have a happy ending. Under Michigan law, even though all of the people involved may be juveniles, all of them also may be guilty of possession of child sexually abusive material. The image may fall under the creation, distribution and possession of child sexually I I. ■t*L * 1ST 1> * % V ' I in a If a K L X <: & IL k I I xr, I 4 •V. to « I - 4 fez io. ’ 1 ‘ \a ’ * << ’ f •" J » a itt J abusive materials and can be a felony offense.

And they don’t realize how much trouble they can get into,” said NakfoorPratt. Schipper said he recog­ nizes that teens and adoles­ cents are naturally going to be curious about sex and inti­ macy. But he said the elec­ tronic age has brought a whole new level of concern for parents. “There’s so much out there, and so much of it so easily and readily available, It makes it all seem like it’s OK. But it’s not,” said Schipper. “Kids get immune to it, and they don’t think it’s a big deal. They say something like ‘it’s not like they saw the real thing,’ or ‘it’s just a picture,”’ said Schipper. “It’s not OK. We need to be aware it’s going on and get our heads of the sand.” He encourages parents and school personnel to talk to young people about the dangers of sexting. He also reminds parents and young phone — just take it.

(Photos by Sam Cullings) by Fran Faverman Staff Writer I he Caledonia High School Players are bringing I the Broadway version of the long-running I musical, Grease, to Caledonia. Julie VanSickle, publicity person for the production, said the script has been mod­ ified so this is a family­ friendly show. The basic story line set at Rydell High School in the now long-ago time of 1959 is retained and keeps the con­ flicts posed by love, friend- ships, and relationships. New girl Sandy Dumbrowski comes to the sch(*)l where she meets again a former boyfriend Danny Zuko. While she struggles with making new friends, keeping her good­ girl persona, and managing her feelings for Danny, Danny has to deal with his attraction to the T-Birds, his pack, and the Pink Ladies, a competing group of girls. • VanSickle says the pro­ duction has probably the largest cast ever used by a CHS Players production with 82 students in the cast. It also requires a larger than usual backstage crew of 28 students. Kudos for building the sets, she says, “should go to the fathers who gave up their time to build these fab­ ulous sets. The production is really a treat.” The production has also received considerable sup­ port from the community with three sponsors and 44 businesses contributing to the costs of mounting so complex a show.

The affected sections of snowmobile trails include: • Trail 9 from Cheboygan to Mackinaw City, and sec­ tions of Trail 9 on the east side of Mullet Lake. • Trail 5 in parts of Kent, Mecosta and Montcalm counties, from Polk Road to Russell Roadr • Trail 19 in Ottawa and County Ravenna Township. . Snow drifts of to eight feet tall are making it impossible for the grooming equipment to lay down a smooth trail surface, said NR officials. Current grooming equipment is designed to smooth out the trail surface; it’s not made for plowing through tightly com­ pacted snowdrifts. The DNR and local snow­ mobile clubs are looking at options to break through the drifts, including bringing in heavy equipment, such as front-end loaders and back­ hoes, to remove the drifts. Grooming will commence once trails are sufficiently cleared to allow the equip­ ment to run without getting stuck. Snowmobilers are urged to either avoid these sections of trail, or use extreme caution if riding in these drifted areas. Questions may be directed to Todd Neiss, DNR trails specialist, 231-775-9727 ext. 6045. Information regarding other snowmobile riding opportunities may be found on the DNR’s website at www.michigan.gov/snowmobiling. f I J ►4 LJkd1 r •f < > A > i I I JLl 5 * r<< rv /1 \• n ■ —* 3& I ‘ i ,* r 4 f J f W' mV f I > .A -1 r / k I 11 >i I /’ I I I Authorized Luggage! a JK i rv i •• F A I '■If. >z IM Shipping t *• I > Outlet We make it simple, convenient and stress-free. ■ 'A •_ I '\<'7vS■■ i'*'-Vi f y > » * - ■ 1 -_K • -I Authorized ShipCenter -1 ■ i !

Maynard's basket accounted for the Scots only points in a more than sevenminute stretch in the second half. Byron Center went on an 8-0 run over the course of the first four and a half min­ utes of the fourth quarter, knocking down six of seven free throw attempts during that stretch. “We got back in the game (after the rough start to the said second half)," Caledonia head coach Mike Glass. “We're down three in the third quarter. We had a chance, and just uncharacter­ istic stuff. We decided we had to do it, instead of the team. ‘I’ was going to do it, or ‘I’ have to do it. We just put so much pressure on our­ selves that we didn’t do a very7 good job in the fourth quarter. “I thought they played hard. I thought Byron Center played really hard. It just came down to executing, and we didn't execute for that four or five minute stretch in the fourth quarter." Glass was pleased with the way his girls played during the first half, controlling the tempo and forcing the Bulldogs to take the kind of shots that the Scots wanted them to take. Lapses here and there though prevented the Scots from extending a small lead to a good-sized one. Elzinga led Savanna Byron Center with 16 points in the game. Brooke Sharkey had 12 points. Sharkey was 5-of-5 from the free throw line, and the Bulldogs were 18-of-22 as a team Alexis Bush led the Scots with ten points. Cameron Peek had six points and Maynard and Jaime Canada had five each. Maynard and Canada were two of the three Caledonia seniors who saw’ their varsity careers come to an end Monday, along with Keagan Pontious, who had four points in the loss. The Scots end Glass’ first year as head coach with a 7­ 13 record. Glass said he enjoyed coaching the Scots this win1 work ethic and the support of their parents. I liked the fact that we were all together on the same page." Glass said. “The girls really worked hard for me. We just couldn't put the ball in the basket this year, for whatever reason we just had a tough time getting an eightfoot shot to drop. That was all year." He said he hopes he’ll be able to convince some of the younger basketball players to spend a little more time in the gym working on their Caledonia’s Taylor Patterson pulls in an offensive as she’s defended by Byron Center’s Staci Brower during the third quarter Monday.

Those issues, proposed for discussion by Supervisor Bryan Harrison, reflect an evolving government seeking to adapt to changes creat­ ed by population growth in the township. One change that Trustee Kelly Wolf has called for is development of a township policy on conflict of interest, Harrison, who cited recent hearings on a request for an amendment to a planned unit development proposal as need need for for such such aa policy, policy, said said current current state state law law is is very very vague and that the legislature has never defined the term.

Robertson said the statute governing members of the board does allow various duties besides statutory requirements to be assigned to board members, who may receive additional compen- sation for performing them. He wants community feedback on the proposal. The night's most intensive discussion occurred occurred over over aa discussion requestfor forproposal proposalfor forcomcom­ request munications services. munications services. According to to the the RFP RFP writwrit­ According ten by by Harrison, Harrison, "The "The selectselect­ ten ed applicant applicant will will direct direct the the ed development, coordination, and evaluation of the town­ ship's communications pro­ gram." * The RFP is a response to two concerns. The first came from Wolf some months ago when she related a conversation she had had. with a newcomer to Caledonia. That person expressed disappointment over the absence of a single source of information providing sign-up deadlines for activities available to chil­ dren. The second concern arose from the 2012 survey of the community showing approximately half of the respondents felt inadequately informed by the township, The scope of the descrip­ tion for communications services was questioned as well as its classification as an contractor. independent Robertson said the descrip­ tion and requirements for 30 hours a month sounded like an employee to him. Clerk Jennifer Christian quickly agreed, saying, "It would never get by the Internal Revenue Service. They have really cracked down on it." An unidentified resident during the public comment period suggested the discus­ sion reflected some confu­ sion over what the township wants a communications program to achieve. VI School mum until investigation complete of Caledonia substitute teacher A statement released by Randy Superintendent Rodriguez Thursday is all the Caledonia Community Schools is saying about its investigation of a substitute teacher accused of using racial slurs with sixth grade students at Kraft Meadows Middle School. “We have completed our portion of the investigation and have shared our concerns and findings with Education Professional Service Group, the employ­ er of the substitute teacher,” said Rodriguez in the state­ ment. “At this time the decision has been made that the district will not use this individual substitute teacher. We have always had a strong professional relationship with PESG and we will work with them as they conduct their own investigation. investigation.”” Rodriguez’s statement confirmed that students brought attention to build­ ing staff members that the substitute teacher has made “inappropriate/disparaging remarks regarding race and religion” and that the build­ ing principal immediately began investigating the incident. “We will capture this opportunity to continue pro­ viding quality character education to our students,” concluded Rodriguez, Middleville council member wants village to plow sidewalks Schools facing shortage of substitute bus drivers Driving a school bus requires training, a commercial driver’s license and special endorsements. ~Ul dliV OJ olds i ni 21o ianuoD I IJiv I j wi 1281 by Julie Makarewicz Staff Writer Village residents may be able to put away their shov­ els in the future and not be responsible for clearing the sidewalks in front of their homes if Middleville Village Council member Sue Reyff gets her wish. Reyff said at Tuesday's committee of the whole meeting that she would like the village to consider pur­ and chasing equipment budgeting funds for sidewalk snow ।clearing. She suggested __ the issue be included in the village budget discussions for next year. “We talk about wanting to make our community a walk- do it, and I think we need to think about it.” Village President Charlie Pullen said it is an issue that’s been brought up before, but the village simply didn’t have the funding to do it. “We were quite far in the hole and it just wasn’t possi­ ble,” he said. Council member Joyce Lutz said with all the snow this year it’s hard to walk around the community. She said she would rather see the village put money toward sidewalk snowplowing than toward paying the code enforcement officer to con­ tinuously monitor the situa­ tion. . winter. “I think everyone is doing the best we can with a terri­ ble winter,” said Fleury. In another issue raised earlier, council members were given some information about different forms of gov­ ernment. ’ Lutz requested the infor­ mation and said Tuesday that she wanted to hold off on further discussions at this time until the village attor­ ney can help lead the council through possible options. Attorney Mark Nettleton was unable to attend Tuesday’s meeting. “It’s just something we need to have an ongoing dis­ cussion about,” said Lutz.

Kraft Meadows recently won a $10,000 award to par­ ticipate in the national ’’Hour of Code” program, a self­ guided activity introducing a variety of hour-long tutorials that were made available for students to try out while learning the basics of com­ puter science. The program was high­ lighted nationally as part of Computer Science Week in December and is geared to encourage interest in the field and to show that anyone can learn the basics of com­ puter coding. The award money was spept on tablets that the students use for cod­ ing. The students in attendence at the school board meeting gave a demonstra­ tion to the board members on various levels of coding and engaged them in a hands-on session in using the tablets to code. . After logging out of the demonstration, board mem­ bers moved on to business that included approval of Superintendent Randy Rodriquez’s recommenda­ tion to ratify opting in to the pals and administrators, for their leadership and dedica­ tion to students. Rodriguez recognized the administrators in observance of • Administrator Recognition Month, discussing the many projects and goals that are currently taking place in Caledonia, and the level of success in these programs that is directly due to the support and focus of Caledonia adminis­ trative staff. He particularly mentioned the energy and efforts that have been poured into the upcoming bond and the iCaledonia jazz band students perform at last year’s swing dance and chili cook-off development of signature event.

If approved, the raise would increase a village trustee pay from $2,200 per year to $2,700 per year. Council member Shannon Haigh requested in February that the council discuss the issue. During that discus­ sion, council members asked Village Manager Rebecca Fleury to find some compar­ isons to how much other council members in other communities are paid. At Tuesday’s committee of the whole meeting, Fleury shared a Michigan Municipal League comparison of the salaries, but said each com­ munity is different. She said some of the communities have managers and others have the village president serve as a manager. Some communities also don’t meet as often per per month month as as Middleville. “You have the legal authority to give yourself a raise. You as a body have to decide if it’s the right time,” said Fleury. Council members said it i i I I I % » x I I I ' • h.' " 'V le ii M r ta BE '■X* i 9 11W ts®. te pffi. pm al (Qi. -U-t -Z.' 7S’ a.

She said talks have been ongoing with the property owner who may be willing to sell a portion of the property to the village. If the village obtains the prop­ erty it can be included in the overall Riverfront Redevelopment plans. The village has already received two grants to help with that project. Fleury said a public hearing needs to be set and then held at the March 25 village council meeting. The grant application is due April 1. I *swi ft ’•* 66 meeting.

VanNoord said he wondered what effect implementing a pay raise would have on the people in the community. He said he was uncertain which which way uncertain way to to vote vote on the issue but agreed to send it to the council meeting next week. In other matters: • The council agreed to allow property owners at 783 Arlington to proceed with applications for a new well. The village typically no longer allows newwells in the village, village, mandating the instead that property owners hook into available public utilities. The home on Arlington, however, does not have access to public water services.

We have one Tuesday per month that's our own. If we did it for the money, none of us would be here.” Haighpointed out at an earliermeeting that, when the salary was established at $2,200 per year, the council members attended two coun­ cil meetings per month. They also served on various com­ mittees that met regularly, but not necessarily monthly, Now, the council not only continues the two monthly council meetings, but has also added a monthly committee of the whole meeting in place of the committee meetings.

A small courtyard area would pre­ serve some green space. Commission chair Archie Warner began the discussion by saying there is no entrance to the courtyard area for fire equipment. Duane Commissioner A Gunnink suggested that widening the sidewalks would solve the entrance problem for fire equipment. Barr commented that he thought the issues had been worked out with Bennett. It is likely that further discussions will occur. Warner moved on to the issue of a bike path raised by Township Planner Lynee Wells, whose comments on the site plan discussed non­ motorized transportation. “Pedestrian circulation is paramount within a universi­ ty setting,” Wells wrote, “Demographic shifts in our population as well as changes in mobility preferences indicate an increase in desire for walking and biking. Efforts should be made to connect Davenport to these planned facilities.” Damon Gonzales, vicepresident for facilities at Davenport, responded that the issue has not been addressed because there are very few bikes on campus and there are no sidewalk connections to Kraft Avenue. Wells added that her concern was how Davenport would connect to township facilities. Barr suggested that when the college of business is built, a road will go away, thereby providing a better opportunity for access to trails. Commissioner Adam Paarlberg focused on park­ ing, saying he was puzzled by how more students required fewer parking spaces. Barr said the campus had oversupplied parking in the beginning.-Wells added that the academic center building was not included in computing parking ratios. She also stated that she had used a guide for calculating college and university park­ ing ratios which was not available when the campus was built. Paarlberg was also concerned at drop-off areas saying that he wants Kraft Ave. to remain clear. Commissioner Ric Parent noted that two parking spaces would be lost in the area proposed for a dumpster enclosure. Gonzales explained the dumpster enclosure was to make easier for students to dump their trash and to expand recycling efforts at the school. “Get parking closer to building,” said Gunnink. “Parking will be short when you are done and in wrong locations. People walk in streets because there are no sidewalks. We have to argue for residents who are not here.” Commissioner Mike Kelly inquired about fire lanes, referring to discussions when the hall was originally approved in 2008.

The motion to approve the plan was approved 6-0. The next scheduled meet­ ing of the commission will be Monday, March 17, at 7 p.m. in the township offices, 8196 Broadmoor Ave. NIGHTHAWK & Correction When Barr responded that Bennett found the plan acceptable, Kelly said, “I beg to differ with you.” Jodi Commissioner Marlink said she wanted access to township facilities, Warner summarized the dis­ cussion into long-term goals including bikes, parking, pedestrian circulation, and Find us on Facebook Food 81 06836519 Spirits Join us for our 29th Keorfamily Tradition! 7 a I I / I F kA I z 3E IF !-*/ Corned Beef Dinner ♦ --v PiMm »ta)ib al 3 |».ni. wluck iucludei; Cawed Beet.

Small business owners who missed the deadline to file for personal property tax exemption should contact their local tax assessors as soon as possible for informa­ tion on filing an appeal at the March 2014 board of review, according to a news release from the Small Business Administration of Michigan. Businesses that own, lease or possess commercial or industrial personal property with a market value of less than $80,000 may eliminate their 2014 tax bill by filing for the exemption. The deadline to file for the exemption was Feb. 10. However, for the 2014 year only, any owner of eligible personal property that did not file in time may appeal to the local municipality’s March 2014 board of review to take advantage of this exemption and its savings this year. The SBAM is encouraging small business owners to file an appeal if they qualify and if they did not file an exemption. Each local municipality has a different procedure for filing an appeal with the March board of review to claim the personal property tax exemption for 2014. If small businesses did not file a PPT exemption with their local tax assessor, the SBAM Set clocks ahead tonight 1 8'' ■i f J to#8 * ■ 1 I* « w I.

Primary teams are not actually scored in a competi­ tion. Their participation is more of an introduction to the OM program. Odyssey of the Mind is an international creative problem-solving competition for students from kindergarten age through college. The purpose of OM is to promote creativity and problem-solv­ ing in a variety of areas, from building mechanical devices to presenting dramatic and technical performances. The OM competition develops team-building skills, diver­ gent thinking, presentation and organization skills Through the competition, students work in teams of up to seven members under the guidance of an adult coach. They spend weeks or months creating solutions to longterm problems. Teams have eight minutes to present their long-term problem solutions in competition. They are scored for meeting the requirements of the problem and for creativity, At competitions, teams are also presented a spontaneous problem to solve on site, Every year, the Odyssey of the Mind competition offers a variety of problems for forteams teamstotosolve. solve.The Theprobprob­ lems change change each each year. year.

Arrangements by O’BrienFuneral Eggebeen-Gerst Home, www.gerstfuneralhomes.com, (616) 949-7350. ft Ifi On March 8, we observe International Women's Day, a celebration of women's econom­ ic, political and social achieve­ ments. Yet women everywhere still face challenges — and here in the United States, one of their biggest challenges may be to gain the resources they need to enjoy a comfortable retirement. So, if you're a woman, what steps should you take to make progress toward this goal? Your first move should be to recognize some of the potential barriers to attaining your finan­ cial freedom. First of all, a u wage gap” between women and men still exists: The median earnings of full-time female workers are 77% of the median earnings of full-time male work­ ers, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Also, women drop out of the workforce for an average of 12 years to care for young children or aging parents, according to the Older Women’s League, a research and advocacy group — and this time away from the workforce results in women receiving lower pensions or accumulatingo much less money in their employer-spon­ sored retirement plans. To give yourself the opportu­ nity to enjoy a comfortable retirement lifestyle, consider these suggestions: • Boost your retirement plan contributions. Each year, put in as much as you can afford to your traditional or Roth IRA. A traditional IRA grows on a taxdeferred basis, while a Roth IRA can grow tax free provided you meet certain conditions. Also, take advantage of your employtax-deferred er-sponsored, retirement plan, such as a 401(k), 403(b) or 457(b). At the very least, contribute as much to eam your employer's matching contribution, if one is offered. And every year, if your salary increases, try to boost your con­ tributions to your retirement plan. • Consider growth invest­ ments. Some evidence suggests that women may be more con­ servative investors than men — in other words, women may tend to take fewer risks and pursue “safer” investments. But to help build the resources you will need for a comfortable retirement, consider growth-oriented vehicles in your IRA, 401(k) and other investment accounts. • Talk to your spouse about Social Security. If your spouse starts collecting Social Security at 62 (the earliest age of eligibility), the monthly benefits will be reduced, perhaps by as much as 25%. This reduction could affect you if you ever become a widow, because once you reach your own “full" retirement age (which will likely be 66 or 67), you may qualify for survivor benefits of 100% of what your deceased spouse had been receiving — and if that amount was reduced, that’s what you'll get. Talk to your spouse about this issue well before it’s time to receive Social Security.

I can't believe you're being so picky. You got it in time. You haven’t started working on it yet.” Lytle said he was only asking for council’s opinions on the matter.

Expenditures continue to outpace revenues and the district has slowly used much of its fund balance over the years to make up the difference. Unfortunately, the fund balance has dropped from 19.21 percent of one year’s operating costs in 2008 to about 8.36 percent in 2013.

We just can’t continue to do it.” Enslen Qdded that he does­ n’t know yet exactly how much the district will need to cut for the upcoming year or where those cuts will have to be made, but said the board will find a way to make it work. “We will figure it out,” he promised. “And, historically, this board will do everything possible to keep the cuts as far from the kids as it can.” Mike Hagerty, KISD assistant superintendent, is currently serving as the TK bond is expected to be used to improve safety, to upgrade technology, and to complete capitalimprovementprojects including purchasing new buses. By law, the district cannot seek an additional millage for operating expenses, such as teacher salaries, If approved, the bond will finance director with the absence of former finance director Chris Marcy who resigned,effective April 4, after what Enslen called a mutual understanding that there was a need for change. , Hagerty said the informa­ tion presented Monday is being presented to service groups in the community, teachers, staff and anyone who wants to learn more about school finances and where the district stands. Enslen said it’s important information for voters to have as they consider a bond proposal in May.

Middleville council members vote themselves raises by Julie Makarewicz Staff Writer Middleville village coun­ cil members will receive a pay hike after the November election. By a 4-3 vote, the council Tuesday night approved a $480 increase per year per trustee. The increase moves the council member salaries from $2,200 to $2,680 per year. The village council president receives a salary of $2,800 and will also get the $480 increase boosting that position’s salary to $3,280. • Council member Shannon Haigh brought the issue up to the full council in February for discussion. Council members Sue Reyff, Joyce Lutz, and coun­ cil president Charlie Pullen supported Haigh in the recommendation for the pay hike. • Reyff said it’s only fair for the council members to get raises since the village staff and the village manager have all gotten raises. “It goes along with what others already received," she said. Council member Ed Schellinger said he was opposed to the pay hike. “If it’s not going to take affect until a new council is elected, shouldn’t it be the new council to vote on it?” asked Schellinger. “I’m still against it because of the eco­ nomics today.” Council member Phil VanNoord said he thought the funds could be better used in other areas for the village. “We’re giving ourselves over a 20 percent pay increase,” contended VanNoord. “Anybody else usually gets 1, 2 or 3 percent increases. I feel it’s way too much.” Village Manager Rebecca Fleury said the Department of Public Works employees covered by the union received between 2 and 3 percent pay hikes each of the last five years of their current That contract. contract expires this year.

The proposed expansion Thornapple of the Thornapple Ambulance Partnership Program would provide the same ambulance coverage for uninsured residents and coverage of co-pays for all residents within the town­ ship. TAPP currently pro­ vides co-pay coverage for ambulance services for resi­ dents within the TTES serv­ ice area, which includes Thomapple, Yankee Springs and Irving townships. According to Middleton, the program is being expand­ ed to benefit all township residents, regardless of exist­ ing or non-existent insurance coverage, and facilitating this expansion requires a millage request. This millage, if placed before and passed by constituents during the Aug. 5 primary election, would provide-ambulance coverage at zero out-of-pocket cost for residents of Thornapple Township. The printed literature handed out by Middleton stated the a .5 millage would generate approximately $112,000, based on an aver­ age home in Thomapple Township. The average cost to the tax payer through this millage would be $37 a year. “This replaces money written off each year in unpaid ambulance bills. We can recoup our losses,” said Middleton. “Last year’s unpaid bills, that were sent for collection, exceeded $54,000.” Middleton added that the contract with Accu-Med would be for five years, end­ ing in 2019 and reminded the board of the May 13 deadline for authorizing a millage to be placed in front of voters during the Aug. 5 primary election. The request to consider a millage was dialogue only and no decisions made at the time of discussion. Dialogue at last month’s joint meeting between the Village of Middleville and the township became more focused Monday when Township Supervisor Mike Bremer read a letter received by the township’s legal counsel regarding regarding impropriimpropricounsel ety by Township Clerk Susan Vlietstra. “We have addressed an issue raised by a non-board member involving the town­ ship clerk...the complaint made by an officer of the village counsel regarding the fact that the township clerk is working a second job, which takes her out of the township offices frequently,” stated the letter from Bloom, Slugget and Morgan. “It is the opinion of counsel, that, so long as the Clerk is per­ forming her statutory duties, the fact that she is not regularly in the office during the business hours of the town­ ship does not rise to the level of legal violation (given the township has not adopted an ethics or other policy that would apply to these circumstances), “Michigan law provides a limited number of reasons for the removal of an officer form forman anelected electedposition, position,but but irregular irregular and and infrequent infrequent hours hoursisisnot notamong amongthose thosereareasons. sons. Understanding Understanding that that the the clerk’s official duties are being performed there is no obvious breach of duty.” Also noted was that, if the board felt strongly enough that a position needed to be taken on the matter, it could adopt a motion of censure to express its disapproval. Similarly, if the electors of the township law desire to take further action they, of course, may resort to the recall provisions of the Michigan Election Law. Bremer added only that he hoped this would put the matter to rest. Vlietstra would like to put the issue of excessive docu- mentation to rest, explaining that she has trialed the product Intelligent Meeting Management municipal software and after six months, was very happy with the benefits and abilities the product provided. “With an option to extend for two more months at a rate of $200 per month, the rental agreement would increase to a cost of $300 to maintain, if purchased,” explained Vlietstra, adding that a pur­ chase or license lease approval by the board would provide a long term savings to the township while streamlining the documentation process. Several board members voiced reservation at the cost of outright purchasing the software. “I do the same thing,” con­ tended Zoning Administrator Catherine Getty. “Using edit, I templates can attached, etc. What’s the advantage to this software that we don’t already have?” Vlietstra responded with, “faster minutes, preparing as you go. Already organized, and archived, record pulling is easier and more accurately maintained. There’s the ben­ efit of consistency across communities (look, appearance to public), (board) vot­ ing will be faster, and it will keep track of all our resolutions and and all all notes notes applicaapplications ble. ble.”” Bremer noted that that the the Bremer noted intent intent to to eliminate large amounts amounts of paperwork appeared to have grown into a large expenditure and tran­ sition, leaving him feeling overwhelmed. “$300 a month seems like a lot of money,” he observed. “If we want to continue using it, we have to decide tonight,” explained Vlietstra, “This is our recommenda­ tion, to connect everyone by log-in and identify each enti­ ties’ levels of access by per­ sonnel, i.e. elected vs. public access levels.” Bremer continued to resist. “I am happy to stick with paper for a while longer.

People with dry eye may find their eyes water quite a bit. This is because the eye is responding to the irritation of this condition. Dry-eye sufferers may find that they feel like they cannot keep their eyes open for very long. They may also find their eyes feel more uncomfort­ able after reading or watch­ ing television. An ophthalmologist or optometrist is usually able to diagnose dry eye by examin­ ing the eyes. Sometimes tests that measure tear production are necessary. Tear osmolar­ ity is the latest development in testing for dry eye disease and is now available locally. Treatment of dry eyes usually begins with eye drops called artificial tears that are similar to natural tears. They lubricate the eyes and help maintain moisture. If artificial tears do not provide adequate dry eye relief, an eye doctor may suggest a prescription med­ ication that stimulates tear production. Other methods of treatment include avoid­ ing dry environments or plugging the tear drainage, ducts to help conserve natu­ ral tears.

So, when it comes to protecting both your family and your business, you need to carefully consider your moves. As you know, you face plenty of challenges to keep your business running smoothly — but it can be even more difficult to pass the family business on to your children or other rela­ tives, In fact, according to the . Small Business Administration, only 33% of family owned businesses survive the transition from first generation ownership to the next generation. Why is it so hard to keep a family business intact? Sometimes, it’s because no one in the family is interest­ ed in running the business — but family businesses fre­ quently disintegrate because of the lack of a succession plan. To create a succession plan, your first step — and possibly the most important is to collect the one thoughts and preferences of family members on their future involvement with your business. It’s essential that you know who wants to real­ ly do the day-to-day work and who is capable. During these conversations, you'll also want to discuss other business-succession key issues, such as the retirement goals and cash flow needs of retiring family owners and the personal and. financial goals of the next generation of management. In developing a plan for the future of your business, you will need to determine who will control and manage the business, and who will eventually, own it. These decisions will depend on a variety of factors, such as the r-r I time time horizon, horizon, goals goals and and financial financial needs needs of of the the family family members involved. members involved. Your Your succession plan could be based on a family limited partnership. Under this arrangement, you, as general partner, would maintain control over the day-today operation of your busi­ ness, but, over time, you could gift or sell limited part­ nership shares to your family members. And eventually, you would also relinquish control of the business to whoever is going to run it. Another component of your succession plan might be a “buy-sell” agreement, which allows you to name the buyer for your business — such as one of your chil­ dren — and establish meth­ ods to determine the sale price. Your child could then purchase a life insurance pol­ icy on your life and eventual­ ly use the proceeds to buy the business, according to the terms established in the buysell agreement. We’ve just skimmed the surface of techniques that might be used alone or in 0 ________ _ ________ , ■h7 W FOUNDED 1AM * ■ ^chign* combination to carry out your business succession, The transfer can be complex, so you will certainly need to consult with your legal and financial professionals. It's important that you fully understand the business and tax implications of any suc­ cession plan, as well as the financial effects of a plan on all your family members. In any case, once you've created your succession plan, you'll need to work with your legal advisor to put it in writing and communicate it clearly to all family members. Surprises are welcome in many parts of life — but not when it comes to transferring a family business. You want to leave your family a legacy. And if that legacy is the family business, do whatever it takes to pass it on in a manner that benefits everyone involved. This will take time and planning — but it can be well worth the effort.

McCoy was arrested Feb. 18 in Grand Rapids on Michigan Department of Corrections on absconding charges. East Lansing police had identified him at the time as a possible suspect in the shooting case. The death of Nolff, a 2012 TK graduate, came as a shock to TK students and faculty at the school who had known him well. “He [DJ] was only here for his senior year, but he made a big impact on our building in that short time," said TK High School principal Tony Koski in an inter­ view shortly after the shoot- ing. Nolff played basketball and football while at TK. Nolff also had attended Hastings schools for a few years before moving to Minnesota and then back to Michigan for his senior year at TK. Nolff has a younger brother who is currently a junior al TKHS. Hastings and TK schools remembered Nolff when the two rival schools met in boys and girls basketball games a week after the shooting. Both schools added green socks to their uniforms in honor of Nolff attending Michigan State University and visitors were asked to wear green to show support to the family, The MSU mascot “Sparty" led the TK boys team onto the floor before the game in front of a packed TK and Hastings crowd.

Sheriff maintains open door as FBI probe continues by Julie Makarewicz Staff Writer A week after FBI agents served search warrants at the Barry County Sheriff’s department and seized com­ puters, Sheriff Dar Leaf said he still cannot comment on any part of the investigation, but defended his depart­ ment’s possession of armored military vehicles and the work of two umbrel­ la support groups, the sher­ iff’s posse and the sheriff’s auxiliary force. Parked in the back lot of the sheriff’s department are three military-armored per­ sonnel carrier vehicles, as well as a Humvee. Leaf said the vehicles were not purchased by the sheriff’s department. He said the U.S. Military made the surplus vehicles available to police agencies all over the country, Departments throughout the country scooped up near­ ly 200 of the surplus vehicles in 2013, according to a November 2013 Associated Press news article. From Idaho to Ohio, Michigan and New York, local depart­ ments are taking advantage of the free vehicles. “We do not own these vehicles,”’' said Leaf. “The military can come and take ---------.... ” them any...................... time they want. He said the only cost to the department is the fuel needed for the vehicles. “Things that people don’t like talking about we have to plan for," explained the sheriff, “things like school shoot ings or factory shootings. I want my guys to be able to hide behind something and be safe, and I want to be able to get people out of situations safely, Leaf said the first vehicle the department received from the military has tracks, Although he believed the tracks were rubberized, when the sheriff’s depart­ ment received the vehicle, the tracks had some metal portions. Leaf said the metal would tear up any roads it traveled on. Since he proba­ bly would never be able to use the vehicle, he is now hoping to get rid of it. A second tracked vehicle was then received that does have rubberized tracks. Leaf conceded it had mechanical issues and said a sheriff’s department auxiliary mem99 ti/no to tjct tyotei ber donated time and materials to work on the vehicle and get it running. Leaf said the vehicle is small enough to fit down many hallways in schools or businesses and help safely evacuate students in a time of crisis. The vehicle, he said, is not ideal because it also has tracks. Even though they are rubberized, they would still cause some degree of damage to paved roads. When newer-wheeled armored personnel carriers were made made available, available, the the were sheriffs department got its third third armored armored vehicle. vehicle. Leaf Leaf said the wheeled vehicle is ideal because it can safely travel on roads and also serve as protection for offi­ cers in dangerous situations. It can also be used as an evacuation vehicle to safely remove several people at a time from dangerous situations. Leaf said the vehicles have never been used except for training, “Thank God, we’ve never had to use them and hope we never have to,” he said. The Humvee was used this winter, especially during the ice storm and heavy snow storms when roads were impassable. “That vehicle can go through anything," maintained Leaf. Leaf said everyone likes to think that disasters or shootings won’t happen in a place like Barry County. “But that’s what they thought about in a movie the­ ater in Colorado or an ele­ mentary school out East. It happens, and it can happen anywhere,” he said. He said he’s still trying to get more surplus supplies through the military and federal government, if he can. He’s especially interested in some boats for the lake patrols in the county, which has more than 320 named lakes. He’s also hoping to dt’dy! join us for our.A 9 Saturday, March 29th • 9:00 a.m. Tuesday, April 1st • 6:00 p.m. 10197 Garbow Rd., Middleville or on the web ■ ■ ■ * r A I * 1 JL I J Ar J ■a# \ ll 99 ■fi ■■ • I a ■ I I 0 41 * ll f to ASWU I It m Fundraising events set to help shop destroyed by roof collapse Fundraisers will be held to assist owners of Herrera’s Custom Iron Werks motor­ cycle repair shop after its roof collapsed this winter.

Two years ago, Raines and Leaf were said to be the only two Michigan county sheriffs who belonged to the 160county sheriff organization. Reports today say four county sheriffs are now members of the group which believes that a county sheriff has con­ stitutional power to turn away federal agents from a county if the sheriff believes the federal agency is, in Raines’ words overstepping its bounds. When asked if he thought his involvement with the Constitutional Sheriff’s Association had anything to do with .the FBI investiga­ tion, Leaf said he could not comment on any aspect of the investigation, Leaf said his department does not provide either the posse or the auxiliary mem­ bers with ammunition or guns.

Rides are scheduled daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Riders can pre-pay for their rides or pay when they get on the vehicle. • Bleam said the service is pretty much door to door. “We come and pick the person up and take them where they need to go," explained Bleahm. “Maybe they need to come down to Pennock for some tests or go to the grocery store for shop­ ping.” He said drivers also assist riders, as needed, helping them carry bags to their doors or making sure they have a sturdy arm to lean on especially in wintry and slip­ pery conditions. ‘ The cost for a trip less than 44 30^ A r- ;< if • - ** 1’,., id <** X■n five miles within Barry County is just $1 for senior citizens aged 60 and older and increases to just $1.50 if the trip exceeds five miles within the county. For the general rider between ages of 5 and 60, cost of a less than five mile trip within the county is just $2 and a longer trip over five miles is $3. Disabled riders, with designation, can ride for just $1 per trip less than five miles within the county and $1.50 within the county for longer trips. Bleam said the vehicles also make limited travel to the Caledonia area. Riders are encouraged to schedule their rides ahead of time if possible. Calling ahead assists the transporta­ tion service with scheduling and best meeting the needs of the residents. Bleam said riders need only call the tran­ sit dispatch center at 269­ 948-8098. In another service that surpassed expectations last summer, the Barry County Transit will again provide free trolley rides from 6 to 9 p.m. Wednesdays June 4 to Aug. 20. The free rides will be expanded from seven weeks offered last summer to 12 weeks for the upcoming season. There will be 11 different stops made by the trolley throughout the village. All rides are free for everyone. Bleam talked to the village council and the downtown development authority about trying to add some entertain­ ment, shows or other special events to help draw even more people to the down­ town area during the summer months on Wednesday nights. “It’s amazing to see the people lined up waiting to get on the trolley at night and go out to eat or get an ice cream cone," said Bleam. “The service was unbeliev­ able last summer. William Voight will be taking over as the Barry County Transit manager in April when Bleam retires. Voight said he's excited about what’s happening in Middleville and hopes to continue seeing ridership growth. He encouraged anyone with questions to contact him at the office or visit the website at www.barrycountytransit.com.

They received funds to purchase five Chromebook computers that will benefit all 221 stu­ dents in the eight second grade classrooms. “This year the school dis­ trict really supported the technology needs for our stu­ dents by putting 12 comput­ ers in each classroom," said Woods. “Unfortunately, we need to have more for edu­ cating our students for the future. Not only do students learn reading, writing, math, science, social studies, but they also need to be skilled with technology.” The additional computers ‘ will help students have daily access to programs that sup­ port their reading, writing, spelling, and math achieve­ ment.

With a smooth white sur­ face, two wings that stuck out from each side and a beak that lit up in different colors, the device intrigued students from Sarah Keizer’s fourth grade class who eagerly followed instructions to program and operate the “Finch” robot. Thomapple Kellogg High School students from Donna von der Hoff’s computer sci­ ence class led the younger students in a lesson that allowed them to program the robots using their coding skills practiced earlier in the year. High school student Joshua DeGoot helped Bachman follow the step-bystep instructions. Other high schoolers worked one-onone with the younger stu­ dents making sure everyone was successful. In no time, the robots were programmed to move forward and back, left and right and spin in circles. Their beaks became glowing shades of a rainbow of col­ ors. And students practiced their skills by driving their robots to push plastic cups across a playing field toward a goal. The program was possible when von der Hoff’s class submitted an application to BirdBrain Technologies to have the “Finch” robots on loan to the district. Starting in 2013, the company has loaned out the robots to4 75 different schools across the country from more than 160 applications. Thornapple Kellogg High School is the only school district in Michigan to receive the robots on loan. “We want to make the younger students aware of what they can do with tech­ nology,” said von der Hoff. She said the high school students prepared programs to teach to the younger stu- Thornapple Kellogg High School computer science student Joshua DeGroot points out instructions to help Page Elementary fourth grader Brianna Bachman program the Finch robot. .

Over the next few weeks, the high school students will work with fourth and fifth graders at Page to introduce them to the robots and rein­ force the coding skills prac­ ticed earlier this year during the hour of coding program. BirdBrain Technologies is loaning out six sets of 50 robots to school districts. The robots will move to new locations every month through January 2015 and be used by up to 30,000 stu­ dents.

Beginning again in April, on the second and fourth Monday of each month through October, yard waste collection will begin. Biodegradable paper bags will be needed for yard waste. The Department of Public Works plans to collect yard waste the 2nd and 4th Monday of the month from April 14, 2014 through October 13, 2014 weather permitting. However, due to the large volume of brush remaining from storm damage, the Village may begin brush collection sooner if the weather allows in April. 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. Bag pick-up will continue through September 22, 2014. After which time, the Department of Public Works will begin vacuuming all yard waste typically placed in the biodegradable paper yard waste bags until the last day of leaf pick-up on November 10, 2014. I . 1® nis BRUSH COLLECTION 2014 Brush pickup during the calendar year 2014 will occur one day per month, the 4th Monday of the month, from April through September. For the month of October, brush pickup will be the 2nd Monday of the month. Brush must be placed at the curbside all stacked in the same direction. Brush should not cover the sidewalk or interfere with pedestrian traffic, nor protrude into any part of the paved roadway. Brush and tree limbs will be collected, if less than 6 inches diameter and less than 10 feet long, on the 4th Monday of the month starting April 28, 2014. Please make note of the adjustment to the regular schedule as the last day for brush pick-up will be October 13, 2014. is SJ The actual time required in collecting all yard waste and the specific time your home is served depends on overall volume and weather conditions. It is possible that a given yard waste collection sweep will take several days to complete. In any case, each residence will be visited, in turn, just once during each sweep. All leaf bags, yard waste and brush must be placed at the curb by 7:00 AM on the collec­ tion date. Yard waste not properly placed at the roadside, at the time Department of Public Works vis­ its a given residence, will not be collected during that sweep. For more information, please contact Village Hall, 100 East Main Street, 269-795-3385 between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday.

Spetoskey said he wouldn't even touch the tennis courts at the high school with a shovel for fear of w recking the courts, but that most of the snow has receded to along the fences at the Lakewood High School ten­ nis courts. “I would love that, but that’s a lot of work." he said of the idea of shoveling off a ball diamond. “I don’t think people realize how many square feet that is when they go to do it. It sounds good at first, but you get going at it and that’s a lot of square footage." The snow will melt. The ground will thaw. The water will recede. Other than being patient, the biggest challenges will come on that first sunny day when every team wants its field prepped and ready to go, with lines painted, and holes filled and grass grow­ ing. ’ ‘ “1 usually jump on it right in the morning though," Spetoskey said, “as soon as the sun is up if I can do something.

The rationale of an undergraduate selection is to enable enrichment by attending classes, camps or other educational activities during the summer.

These students are identified through a nomination by their fine arts teachers. New this year, to each of the four high schools, a $500 scholarship will be awarded for performing arts and another $500 for visual arts, for a total of $1,000 per school or $4,000 total dedicated to fine arts. Recipients will be nomi­ nated from the each of the four high school fine arts departments. Interested students should talk with their fine arts teachers. Resources for the scholar­ ships are funds raised at the annual scholarship fundrais­ ing dinner event.

Community involvement is of key importance to the district, he said. Identified as most important were reliev­ ing the crowded Caledonia High School facility, safety and security in school build­ ings, and the further integra­ tion of technology into the learning process. The forum quickly evolved into a dialogue uCI oino2 bnoM ioqu2 nboH srl 1 sdJ is nosls oD lo zi )iUgib leoni It gm dgiH » noil imfiol fIT Ho vs between the four attendees and Rodriguez. He said projections provided by a consuiting firm that specializes in school populations suggest the district’s current population of 4,450 students will reach 5,000 by 2018. Vince Weiss, representing the Kiwanis Club of Caledonia, asked about the tax rate. “The current tax rate for school debt is 7 mills; that will stay the same,” said Rodriguez. “What changes is the life of the current debt is extended from 2028 to 2036. We refinanced some bonds when the interest rates dropped; we were able to save the taxpayers $3 mil- lion.” Another factor is the 18mill tax paid by businesses and other commercial enti­ ties; the tax is scheduled to expire in 2016 unless voters choose to extend it, Rodriguez said. Those rev­ enues go to education. For the future, he said he also would like to establish a sinking fund. Aaaressing the Addressing me over­ crowding at CHS, he said, the choice of building a ninth-grade core-classes school with some other high school classes next to CHS emerged as the most rational choice.

If approved, it will mean an increase of 1.87 mills for taxpayers. For the owner of a home with a taxable value of $100,000, the bond will mean an additional $73 per year in taxes. A home with a taxable value of $50,000 will pay approximately $36.50 more per year for the bond. People attending the forum were able to ask ques­ tions about how the money will be used, why the district needs the bond, and what happens if the bond is not approved. Superintendent Tom Enslen made it clear that bond funds cannot pay for teacher salaries or benefits, Money must be used for other capital costs. The dis­ trict has looked at needs for the next five years and has developed a plan it says meets the basic needs. If approved, the bond will help pay for security and safety within the district, technology at all grade lev­ els, energy savings for all buildings, eight new buses, and site site athletic and and improvements, If the bond is not approved, Enslen said the district will have to use gen­ eral fund dollars to meet those needs. These are real needs 44 appealed Enslen. “We can't ignore the fact that we have snow coming in some of the windows at Page or 104 leaks in the high school roof. These things have to be addressed. “My fear is that, without the bond, we'll impact kids more than we’ve ever had with cuts that we will have to make. We've tried very hard to keep cuts away from the classrooms and away from affecting kids as much as possible in the past." Acting finance director Mike Hagerty, assistant superintendent for the Kent Intermediate School District, gave a thorough overview of the district’s financial picture and how the district has been forced to use its fund balance Thornapple Kellogg Schools Superintendent Tom Enslen answers questions from residents attending a bond information meeting Thursday night. . See BOND, page 5 Middleville council gives manager ‘average’ rating by Julie Makarewicz biM 9 V15051 on i biu< filnl si jT is Staff Writer Middleville Village • Manager Rebecca Fleury received an “average” annual performance evaluation at Tuesday’s council meeting, but no comments or feedback on areas where she could improve. In fact, the only comments offered on the evaluation and at Tuesday’s meeting were extremely positive and suggestive of a much higher overall evaluation. Fleury received an overall performance rating of 78.7 percent, earning 1,103 points out of a possible 1,400. Last year, Fleury scored a 94 percent on her evaluation, but that process did not include include input input from from council council members Sue Reyff or Joyce Lutz who failed to turn their evaluation forms forms in in on on time, time. evaluation This year year’’ss process process included included This all member evaluations. Council member Mike Lytle, who helped compile the evaluation scores from members said, after the meeting, that five of the evaluations were very positive while two evaluations did not rate Fleury highly. The scores from all seven council members were added together and the percentages calculated to get the overall performance review score. Each council member was asked to rate Fleury in 10 different areas. Council members gave Fleury a rating between 1 and 5 in several sub-areas of the 10 categories with a I being an unsatisfactory score and a 5 being an outstanding score. The points in each of the categories was then totaled among all the council mem­ ber reviews and a percentage figured. With no comments about how to improve, the evaluation left council member Ed Schellinger was somewhat baffled, “One of the main focuses of an evaluation is to enable the employer to discuss some possible weaknesses the employee might have and then allow the employee to work on ways to correct these weaknesses," stated Schellinger. “In reading the entire evaluation of our vil­ lage manager, I did not find any weaknesses listed. How can she know what to work on if she does not know what her employers want of her? An evaluation must consist of more than just numbers." Schellinger said he believed Fleury's score should be much higher than a 78 percent. Lytle said after the meet­ ing that he agreed with Schellinger's comments. I do think if you give someone a low rating, then you should say why and 44 See RATING, page 3 In This Issue... • Caledonia DECA sending 10 to international competition • Caledonia approves contract for wastewater treatment • Elementary student efforts impacting families across the globe • Middleville seeks grant to purchase land along river c �J1 Caledonia High School students participated in the state DECA contest earning 28 awards.

The discussion turned to Schools of Choice when Doug Snyder, a parent with three children in the system, said he didn’t understand the effect Schools of Choice has on Caledonia. The first requirement to understand about Schools of Choice is that every Michigan school district must offer a Schools of Choice option. A district has two choices: participate in the state plan or participate in the plan offered by the intermediate school district to which it belongs. “Caledonia has chosen to participate in the plan offered by the Kent Intermediate School District because it offers more flexi­ bility than the state plan,” Rodriguez said. “Right now we have capped our Schools of Choice option at 17 per­ cent of our population.” He continued, noting the money provided by students who attend Caledonia schools under the choice option come with their origi­ nating districts’ home state­ Middleville Village Clerk Elaine Denton completed aid grants, a provision which three-year course work to become a Certified Michigan enabled Caledonia to avoid Municipal clerk from Central Michigan University. drastic cuts in 2008 to 2010.

In 2008, the district had a fund balance of about 19 percent. Hagerty also clearly out­ lined where TK fundin fl comes from and how dollars are spent. TK, along with 10 other districts in the KISD, receive the state’s base foun­ dation allowance per pupil of $7,026. Nine other districts in the KISD receive more than the base allowance. . Of TK’s roughly $26 mil­ lion budget, Hagerty pointed out that TK spends about $ 14 million on salaries, $3.6 million in health care, and another $3.5 million in retirement benefits. He also told visitors that TK has a history and com­ mitment of spending much of its funds in the classrooms for students. On average, the district, he said, spends $4,544 per pupil directly related to classroom costs, And statewide, he said, only 20 districts spend less than TK on business and administrative costs. “We spend the money in the classrooms and for kids,” said Hagerty. “That’s a real positive. Enslen said he knows TK voters have been extremely supportive of the schools in the past and he’s hoping that that support continues through this bond request. 11 If approved, bond money will be spent in all schools district, throughout the Energy and infrastructure upgrades and improvements will get $1.7 million.

Members of the Downtown Development Authority dis­ cussed the project and said they would commit to pro­ viding matching funds that could be an estimated $45,000. Thomapple Township Clerk Clerk Susan Susan Vlietstra Vlietstra voiced voiced her approval of the project ' . during the public ‘hearing. “I think it’s a great thing and encourage you to move forward with it,” she said, But not everyone was in favor of the idea. Middleville council member Joyce Lutz voted against the grant appli­ cation. “I think this is the wrong time to vote on spending money on this,” she said, , j Lutz said the village has many street repair needs that should be considered. She’s concerned, she said, about the personal property tax situation and how much the village will lose if legislation is passed without reimbursement guarantees for munici­ palities. She also said the village is preparing for a new bridge on Main Street and questioned if the DDA hadn’t already committed supporting that project with funds. Fleury said the DDA discussed the bridge, but did not make financial commitments. Lutz and Reyff voted against applying for the grant. grant. The The rest rest of of the the council council members voted to support the application.

We have so many parents and students volunteering, with over 60 individuals pledging com­ mitment to the program this year.” . Explaining that the Cougar Kids Care Club is run solely by the parents of students involved and holds a lofty vision of positively affecting others locally and worldwide, Pam Andrulis, a volunteer parent, shared with the board the process of identifying project ideas at the beginning of each year. Cougar Kids Care Chib is 5 44 received pictures pictures of of the the new new received well, and, well, this is just an awesome experience for children to see the impact of good will and charity all over the world.” Locally, the students par­ ticipated in the Walk for Water charity, by walking while holding heavy jugs of water, to raise money and awareness of the day-to-day difficulty of some families, across the globe, to have access to water. This charity, “opened up the whole school and com­ munity tog the vital impor­ tance of everybody having fresh clean water,” said Andrulis. Originating as a student counsel promoting philanthropic service, Cougar Kids Car Club is open to all stu­ dents in the elementary who want to participate, with the intent to raise the awareness of young students to the importance of service to oth­ ers, instead of serving the self. “We wish to build a new habit in our youth, a good one,” said Andrulis, before turning the podium over to a group that Kettle Lake students can join to learn about being charitable, to learn about different charities and to learn about doing things for others,” said Andrulis. “At the beginning of the school year, we all come up with loads of ideas of who we can raise money for, then we narrow it down to one local, one regional and one global charity.” Cougar Kids Club adopted a global care project last year, electing to support Charity Water, a global organization that endeavors to provide clean water all over the world. The students raised money to pay for a new well for a village, locat­ ed in Mai-Seto, Ethiopia. The students and parents raised $5,294 in support of the life changing efforts to provide clean, disease free water across the globe. “This really gets the kids excited,” said Andrulis. “Mai-Seto, population of 250 villagers, now has a working, clean water well, We’ve waited 18 months to find out where the well was going to be dug.

OPEN 7:30 TO 5:00 MONDAY THRU FRIDAY » Local children use the new well, completed in December and made possible with funds raised by Caledonia Elementary Cougar Kids Care Club. Emma, her daughter, who highlighted the efforts of the kids’ club, “We hold bake sales throughout the year to raise funds for these organizations, which is really fun,” said Emma Andrulis. “The entire school looks forward to the bake sales, including our teachers. Club members all take turns working the bake sales. Our largest one was to raise funds here local­ ly, and we raised $640 over two days of lunch. For you mathematicians, that is 2,560 items at the bake sale or 730 items per hour.” Emma continued, explain­ ing how the volunteer par­ ents make the fundraising possible. • “We meet once a month after school, and our volun­ teer moms bring in speakers from the three charities that were chosen,” said Emma Andrulis. “We learn a lot from the speakers and ask a lot of questions. Sam Blunt, son of volun­ teer mom Jaime Blunt, chimed in, sharing that the club is never idle when bake sales are not being planned. “In the months we don’t have bake sales, we make cards or bookmarks for sen­ ior citizens or veterans or decorate bags for Kids Food Basket,” said Blunt. Fourth or fifth graders get to do an annual trip to the Kids Food Basket, to help make sand­ wiches, pack food into small quantities or whatever task they give us. You should see how fast we work while we’re there and how much we get done. “We also help work on Heritage Day, which is a day where parents and grandpar­ ents come to visit and have lunch here,” added Blunt. “We help wipe tables, cany trays and help lost grandpar­ ents find their way around »» the school. A third student, Jessica Peckham, shared the goals of the club and the goals achieved by the program. “This year, we will expect to raise over $2,000 for our three charities. While this is a great accomplishment, the ultimate goal is that this will become a habit that we carry on into our future.”Thanking the students and parents, the board moved on to addressing a request by Superintendent Randy Rodriguez, to adopt the Reading Now Network reso­ lution, a literacy commit­ ment for grades K-3, to raise literacy rates in elementary students. The program brings 13 counties and over 70 districts together to collaborate on the literacy goals. Opening up classrooms, and sharing data and what works, with each other, teachers and administrators can partici­ pate in reading symposiums and gather together as collective voices to further the goal to wipe out illiteracy. The board was asked by Rodriguez to stand behind the initiative, applauding its pro-active approach, Caledonia board members agreed to adopt the initiative, which will bring ISDs from Kentwood and Lowell • together with Caledonia schools, to “ensure that every child in our region is a successful reader, through the sharing with and learning from, all partners in the net­ work,” said Rodriguez. “We want to lead legisla­ tive change instead of responding to it, said Rodriguez, noting that March is Reading Month. “Being proactive, not reac­ tive, supports the value of reading. We will be learning about what others are doing, that is working to raise the literacy rates of our elementary students.” Hannah Latham, senior at Caledonia High School, pro­ vided a student representa­ tive update highlighting the numerous achievements of 44 the DECA and FFA clubs, men’s choir, band and ensemble awards and alumni recognition programs. Additional items discussed by the board included: • The May 6 millage. The current millage for the Caledonia school district will not increase, explained Rodriguez, but instead will be extended, to encompass the requested funding for school improvements. “This zero mill increase will not increase the current millage rate of .7 for the district,” school said Rodriguez. “But it will raise $41 million for a new high school facility, it It will improve and enhance safety and security initiatives, it will support upgrades to technology and infrastructure and it will support reno­ vations to existing buildings.

The center-wide event, with artwork and music sup­ porting the jungle theme, featured numerous reading activities, crafts and games in each of the Early Childhood Program class- rooms. In addition to the Early Childhood program, the Literacy Festival was also hosted by the Preschool, Childhood Early the Education Program, the Young 5’s Program, the Great Start Readiness Program and the YMCA Childcare — all of which are housed in the same building. Of special inspiration to the many young readers was the presence of students from the high school's football and cheerleading teams who not only assisted with game tips and encouragement, but who also provided warm and affirming greetings to the youngsters who approached them. Besides being “celebrity readers,” the high school vol­ unteers helped provide a spe- cial snack and assisted with a come-and-go music concert, and an evening-long raffle in which youngsters had a chance to win books for their own libraries at home. “You can start reading with a child right from a born, observed they're Trocinski, “it's not just when they get to school. In her second year as the preschool coordinator and marveling at the joy around evening, her Thursday Trocinski reflected on the joy of being part of early childhood development and an event like the Literacy Festival. “It’s not just sitting and teaching children and it's not just preparing the lessons for reading and knowledge,” she It’s about summarized. being part of families. \S*TC« CONDITIONING UL C 7 sonwrns SMT A VnUB mriA •MU i*>A » I SALES • SERVICE • RENTALS RESIDENTIAL • COMMERCIAL • INDUSTRIAL SERVICING All MAKES AND MODELS Rid your water ?5 of sulfur and «■ iron odors with an Iron Curtain System.

The Lions were the only county team to win a game in the state tournament. Maple Valley put together a team with a handful of guys with two or three years of varsity experience with a talented foreign exchange-student.

Thomapple Kellogg’s varsity girls’ basketball team had the most success, scoring the school’s most victories since 1999 and reaching the district finals in its first season in Class A. The Trojans though were the only county team to win a district basketball game, Thomapple Kellogg scored the upset of the year in the OK Gold Conference, knocking off Wayland Union in their meeting in Middleville. Hastings and Thornapple Kellogg both found it tough going in the OK Gold Conference.

The Caledonia varsity girls’ lacrosse team got outside for the first time this season Monday, not for prac­ tice but for a game. The Fighting Scots opened the season with a 14-9 victo­ ry in Birmingham over Birmingham United, the team which finished second in the state in Division one last spring. the Birmingham got game’s first goal, but Caledonia rallied with three unanswered goals and led the rest of the way. Caledonia was up 9-6 at the half. Caledonia head coach Ralph Shefferly said his team’s biggest challenge against the talented, fast Birmingham team was pre­ venting it from scoring goals. The Scots countered Birmingham's athleticism wjth a deep, talented squad of their own which includes 11 returning players. Shefferly said Genevieve Jablonski, Trish Koning, Brianna Hoogterp, Tori Alexander and McKenna Maynard all played very well in the first contest of the year at their defensive positions. Scot goalkeeper Helene Miller stopped 9 of 18 shots for the win. On the offensive side, all­ state players Keagan Pontious and Ashley Watson helped lead the Scot scoring with three goals and two respectively. goals Caledonia also had senior Savannah Monroe score three goals. Senior midfield Matti Hisey added a goal plus great defense. Senior Amy Kuzava added a great assist and ran the offense from the “X” position. New freshmen players also showed the future can be bright for the Scots with their contributions in the contest. The group of youngsters was led by Ellie Poll at attack who scored two goals and had an assist, and fresh­ men midfielders Courtney Pontious, Megan Bolt and Carly Pieri who all added one goal each. “Overall, good way to start but we have much work to do if we can ever get out­ side,” Shefferly said. r I •J*' \ V / HONOR CM %EROTECTION EXTENDED P ar R ANTIES 4 1 < I uV / Serving the * area for over 18 years!

And especially with two recent grants received by the village, there is an emphasis on placemak­ ing and creating areas to attract people. Those efforts of “place­ making” as a way of boost­ ing economic success and growth, were confirmed again when Barry County leaders at tended a full-day seminar by the MiPlace Partnership Initiative. The seminar was hosted by the Barry Community Foundation and the Barry County Economic Development Alliance. Bonnie Hildreth, president and CEO of the Barry ‘’ Community Foundation, said she was pleased so many community members were able to come together for dis­ cussion. “We are so happy people took time out of their day to be part of it. We especially look forward to the future and working together,” said Hildreth. Placemaking is simply a process of creating quality places where people want to live, work, play and learn, according to the two plan­ ners and presenters for the seminar. Doug Piggott from Rowe Professional Services Company and Jay Hoekstra, now retired from Hoekstra Town Planning, outlined placemaking features that help attract and retain people in an area. According to Piggott, placemaking involves improving economic competitiveness. Some of the key features in today 's new economy include being rich in talent and ideas, attracting educated people, and providing physical and cultural amenities. . He said it’s also important for communities to collabo­ rate efforts and think region­ ally, not just within their specific boundaries. Planner Doug Piggott from Rowe Professional Services Company talks to Barry County leaders Monday about placemaking and collaborating to create vibrant, successful communities where people want to live, work and play. Middleville Village Manager Rebecca Fleury said the seminar was a good reminder for the county to work together, and she said many of the ideas of placemaking are already being implemented. “Resources are so small, we have to work together. Nobody wants a trail that just runs through the village," said Fleury. “They want it to go someplace and link to other communities. That’s why we all need to talk and not duplicate efforts.” The placemaking initia­ tive started more than a year ago as a way of encouraging communities to work toward goals creating rich environ­ ments for healthy economies. Attractive locations for talented workers tend to have a wide range of arts, cultural, entertainment and recre­ ational options. They have unique physical characteris­ tics and are built on the assets of the community and region in which they are located. Middleville recently received two grants to devel­ op park areas along the Thornapple River on the north side of Main Street. A second grant will help extend the Paul Henry Thomapple Trail north from Stagecoach Park to Crane Road where the hope is that it will even- See PLACEMAKING, pg. 2 Caledonia Expo returns Saturday The Caledonia Chamber of Commerce will host the annual community Expo from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 12, at Duncan Lake Middle School.

Council member Joyce Lutz asked that the village research different forms of government to see if there were other options available that would be more benefi­ cial to village residents. She said her concern is that vil­ lage residents are also con­ sidered Thornapple ’ Township residents and pay both vjnage and township taxes. She specifically asked to find out how much village residents pay in township taxes and what they get tor that money. “How much exactly are people in the village paying for township services? That would be interesting to know," said Lutz. Under the current system of government. Thornapple ail Township provides assessing services, election services and certain tax col­ lections for counties and schools. Thornapple Township Supervisor Mike Bremer attended the meeting and said he was pleased to have an open door of discussion about how the two groups could work together to be more efficient. “Maybe we don't need 14 people in government for the township and village,” he See OPTIONS, pg. 12 In This Issue...

In making adjustments to the drainage parcels were were district, 1515 parcels added in Barry County and 70 in Allegan County. Asked how far north the district now, extended, Fredericks said, “About half a mile north of Ml79.” He added that the CAFO business is not in the district although it may contribute to the Cuddy Drain. . Since its inception in 1915 the Cuddy Drain has not changed changed its alignment according to him and is approximately 3.37 miles long. It is in an agricultural and wooded area that also contains significant wildlife, The report includes an estimate of preliminary costs and their apportionment. The total preliminary estimated cost for Allegan would be $788,514. Ten or 68 percent of the total; the same costs for Yankee Springs would be $476,865.40, or 32 percent of the cost. For Yankee Springs Township, there may be additional costs for the pur­ chase of a site on which to deposit the material dredged from the channel the Cuddy Drain flows into.

Yankee Springs Township Supervisor Mark Englerth said, “The township board had approved an additional $3,000 to expand the size of the culvert on Island Drive." The culvert is in danger of collapsing and is scheduled to be replaced by the Barry County Road Commission, Englerth proposed dredging the Island Channel. He said, “Residents are in favor of having their channel dredged since dredging will already be going on,” he said. Drain Commissioner Russell Yarger said that dredging for navigational purposes is prohibited by the Michigan Drain Code, A similar request in 1996 also was rejected. In a phone conversation, Englerth said having the dredging project done on Island Channel at the same time as other dredging work is done is not beyond proba­ bility since other financing mechanisms are available. Presently, there is no available space to place the material dredged from Gun Lake or the Island Channel within Yankee Springs. Both Yarger and Medemar agreed with Harrington that Englerth and Fredericks should explore options for leasing or acquiring property for deposit of the dredged materials. A phone conversation with Fredericks centered on the status of the pond in the Pleasant Valley Estates proj­ ect. “We thought it was a retention pond until residents told us it has an outlet and drains into the Cuddy Drain,” he said. “By the time we learned that, it was too late because of notification requirements to include those parcels in the drainage district.” No date was set for the next meeting of the Inter­ Drain county Board. Harrington said a meeting in May was most likely because of the need to resurvey some areas, identify illegal drains, and explore with property owners repairs to culverts serving private driveways, I K PLACEMAKING, continued from page 1 tually hook up and extend to Caledonia, Fleury said communities need to work with their natu­ ral amenities as well as cre­ ate their own uniqueness. “What we’re doing in Middleville is going to attract people. We’re creatine creating a space where people want to be in tolive and work. We have to create our own niches for what people want,” she said. Thornapple Township Supervisor Mike Bremer said he’s looking forward to action plans and what community leaders can do together next. “I think the biggest thing I came away with is confirma­ tion that Barry County is on the right track. We are right Up there in the buggy where we need to be,” said Bremer. Placemaking affects, an entire region and not just one community and that’s why leaders from throughout the county were involved in the discussion. Hastings City Manager Jeff Mansfield said that message is not new to area lead­ ers, but a good reminder of how the county needs to। work together. “We are doing some things right, but there are always ways to improve,” said Mansfield, adding that the presentation really rein­ forced the act that the com­ munities need to work together in planning and zon­ ing and need to be attentive to characteristics within the communities. “By far, the most impor­ tant aspect of placemaking for Hastings is our partner­ ship with especially Hastings and Rutland townships,” said Mansfield. “It’s critical to protect our downtown and urban core. If we start stretching it out, we will gut the quality of life in the downtown area.” He said Rutland and Hastings townships are work­ ing with the city to promote and direct growth in ways that will help the entire area. Cooperative land-use plan­ ning between the townships and city is vital and one area where Mansfield said can make a huge difference for quality developments for the future. In addition to planning for business growth, communi­ ties also must find ways of providing different types of housing, according to Piggott. He said with today’s growing number of Baby Boomers, demand for multi­ unit dwellings will increase more so than traditional single-family homes. Recent college graduates, young couplesand now more and more retiring people are looking for those types of rental rental housing housing or or condominicondomini­ um um choices, choices, he he said. said. He also encouraged plan­ ners and communities to think about other housing options, including providing live-work spaces in buildings with storefronts on the main floor and living spaces above — an effort Hastings has already implemented in some downtown buildings with great success. Middleville village leaders have discussed the possibilities of creating similar living areas in the downtown area, and recently approved additional multi-family units to be built in an area originally designed for retail space. In doing so, planning commissioners and village council members noted the need for multi-family housing with growing requests from aging 'V 0 I ss*1 £ populations, as well as young couples. The seminar also elicited talk about providing different means of transportation, Public transportation is one option, but many people also are looking for ways to walk or bike to work and activities. Hildreth said Barry County is already working well in many areas of placemaking.“Middleville has the grants to work on theriver­ front projects, Hastings has the sculptures around town, We’re already doing some of the things they talked about. I think there are a lot of things we have to be really proud of already, but there are always more things we can do.” Piggott said communities with a strohg sense of place are where people want to be. Quality places, he said, are active, visually attractive, people-friendly, walkable, alluring with pizzazz, offer green features, and have good building mass and facades. He said transforming downtowns or neighbor­ hoods doesn't happen overnight. “But if you don’t have a plan in place — it will never happen,” he said. 0 u J i si l I ii ii« fa JI Ute U Hl taiin ai ok I hijar at (iiali ♦ f Mil a ^<5 Caledonia O American Legion #305 Friday April 11 r SIL TH and every Friday thru April 18 All-You-Can-Eat <t FAMOUS LEGION I iliTf FISH FRY* With all the trimmings Co< , AA Children $EOO VV 10 & Under W I Served 5pm - 7pm X / Open to Public Coffee Donated HALL FOR RENT Call 891-1882 F by 5 I k s Si BIGGBY COFFEE 4 A �V O', SJ1. 1 ' NS • S' s vi &' jx* c k 4 7 to 2;*■ ’x feta, A» kJ A I ; ■ M 1h . i » I Mil l j tfi'i xiiRKki r f , 3L21__ ____ 21 ♦ ¥ 1 !r -&K x pw 'r? |G , I i M55 tsl* i.V I**' jiif !4 'til - It by Julie Makarewicz Staff Writer In about two years, the vil­ lage of Middleville could recoup the costs of retro-fit­ ting village facilities with energy-efficient lighting, according to information provided by Department of Public Works director Duane Weeks. Weeks told council mem­ bers at the committee of the whole meeting Tuesday that LightsPlus conducted an energy audit of the village facilities in the fall of 2013. Their audit included the costs needed to upgrade lighting at the village hall, DPW garage, waste water treatment plant, and well houses. The total cost, including hiring electricians to perform the changes, is estimated at $9,451. The village can also receive a rebate from of Energy Consumers $2,518. Weeks said, based on esti­ mated energy savings, the village will save about $312 per month with the upgraded lighting. If those savings are achieved, he said the village can pay back the cost of the upgrades in about 22 months. Weeks said LightsPlus looked at past energy bills to determine the estimate sav- Caledonia Library will host a craft drop-in afternoon program at 2 p.m. Monday, April 7.

Podbevsek joined the club in 2006 after retiring from Martin Public Schools. She became club historian, creat­ ing ribbon-winnig memory books for the club. She said the effort was a learning process since she was totally new to scrap­ booking. She gathered news articles from three area newspapers and took pic­ tures at club events and out­ ings. She made it a point to collect as much additional information involving mem­ bers and club activities, as well. Podbevsek is currently co­ chair of the GFWC Gun Lake Area Free Lending Library and because she is an avid knitter and quilter, she maintains membership in both of these home life com­ munity service program groups. Podbevsek was grew up in Hinsdale, Ill. In 1955, her Donna Podbevsek family vacationed in Southwest Michigan and fell in love with the Gun Lake area. Their summer visits continued until Michigan and Gun Lake became their permanent home, In 1968, Donna married Kenneth, her high school sweetheart. They settled in Southwest Michigan after his tour of duty with the U.S. Navy to raise their son and two daughters. The Podbevseks now have 10 grandchildren. Donna retired from the Martin Public Schools after 20 years in food services. She started as a lunchroom volunteer and retired as head cook, preparing breakfasts and lunches for kindergarten through 12th grade students, an average of 350 meals per day. After her retirement, Donna felt the need to become more active in her community and joined the Gun Lake women's club in 2006. Her hobbies include sewing, cooking and baking. The Podbevseks are mem­ bers of the St. Paul Lutheran Church in Caledonia. Donna serves as president of the Ladies Aid group, whose mission is to make and send quilts for world relief. Podbevsek will be hon­ ored in April at the annual convention of General Federation of Women's Clubs Michigan in Frankenmuth. ia**1 • — lists® I L • M 1* HjU l h m III ■ 'Uli uiu vv *h I » li co CO 00 CD O l iOh Sf V ft ’’’’di Ill where quality education and childcare begin Child Care Center • Child Care 0-12 Years • Focus on Education • State Certified Providers Call or stop in for complete program listing! • Pre-School Program 420 Misty Ridge Dr., • Competitive Pricing 269-795-9055 Middleville a �■V ■ 4 > 1 > A I The Sun and News, Saturday, April 5, 2014/ Page 7 Kraft Meadows essay contest winners named j; r 4 * i •I ■** z 41^ in 511 I A ** 4 l I 4 > •! ci Lt * 1 i Three Caledonia Kraft Meadows Middle School students were chosen as winners in the America and Me essay contest.

Call any time for Sun & News classified ads If you’re one of the “millennials” — the generation that began in the early 1980s — you are still in the early stages of your career. Retirement must seem like a long way off — yet, it’s never too soon to start plan­ ning for it. At the same time, though, you may also have shorter-term goals. Can you make progress toward your near-term and long-term objectives at the same time? Yes, you can — but you'll need to match your shortand long-term goals with the appropriate savings and investment vehicles. For example, one of your most important. short-term goals may be purchasing a house, so you'IT need to accumulate a certain amount of money by a certain time — perhaps in three to five years. Therefore, you won’t want to risk your down pay­ ment on an investment whose price will fluctuate — and whose value may be down just when you need the money. Consequently, you may want to look for a short­ er-term investment whose objective is preservation of principal. Typically, with these types of vehicles, the shorter the term, the lower the interest rate — but since your goal is basically to have a certain amount of money available at a certain time, you might be less interested in what return you’ll get on this particular investment, as opposed to the return you might hope for from other, longer-term vehicles. In fact, while you are sav­ ing for your down payment on your home, or for other short-term goals, you also need to be thinking long term — that is, you need to save as much as you can for your eventual retirement. Since you are still in the early stages of your working life, you have an enormous asset going for you: time. By starting to save for retire­ ment now, you have more time to save than you would if you waited another decade or so.

As an annual service to residents, the Village of Middleville has arranged with Republic Services for a one day pick-up of household items, rolled carpet, furniture and other large and bulky objects that have outlived their usefulness. Village residents may begin placing items at the edge of a Village street abutting their own res­ idence on April 19, 2014. All items must be placed at the curb by 9:00 PM on April 25, 2014. The private hauler will make only one sweep through the Village beginning at 7:00 AM on April 26, 2014. The pick up will be one day only - April 26, 2014. The private hauler will not pick up the following: Petroleum-based products, toxic chemicals paint, motor vehicle parts, building demolition or construction materials (including con­ crete), batteries, food wastes, animal wastes and carcasses and any other materials deemed to be hazardous. (See below) Refrigerators and other appliances will be picked up but must have all air tight doors com­ pletely detached for safety reasons. The annual Spring Clean-Up Day is financed by Village property taxes and is only for Village residents and property owners. Any Village resident allowing Spring Clean-Up items from out­ side the Village will forfeit their pickup. If unauthorized waste items are mixed in with author­ ized waste items, the result will be that no items will be collected from that residence.

Lutz quickly interrupted. “I think anyone in the village would have a hard time right now wanting to take away the village and combine with the township especially with the way things are going on up there now. Money in the township is not being spent wisely,” she said. Bremer said he only hopes the two governments can work together to find ways to reduce inefficiencies for everyone. Nettleton said there are options for the village, but warned any change in gov­ ernment will be time con­ suming and complicated. He also said there is a lot to con­ sider about any of the options. Middleville is considered a general law village as are most villages within the state. Other options available would be to move up to a city and sever ties with the town- ship. If that move is made, Middleville would have to provide all their own services or specifically contract with another agency for services. Another option, Nettleton said, would be to disincorpo­ rate the village and have everyone become part of the township only, There are also different forms of villages called home rule villages rather than general law villages, Nettleton said there are differences in how taxes can be collected and allocated and how high millages can be set. He said it's not often com­ munities make governmental changes because of the complexity and the time it takes. “To do anything there are many processes, petitions, proceedings with the state boundary commission and elections. It’s time-consuming and complicated,” said Nettleton.

She is married and the mother to four adult children. Her experience has given her opportunities to educate adults and students in other countries outside of the U.S. with what she considers an important and life-changing message. Willing to Wait helps educate the community about the benefits of making healthy choices regarding sex and relationships. It was first taught in 1995 in eight differ­ ent schools. In the 2012-13 school year, W2W was taught in 61 schools to more than 5,500 middle and high school students.

Learn how to help teach them about healthy and unhealthy relationships and what the laws are in the state of Michigan, since it is illegal to be involved in sexual activities under the age of 16.” She will be talking with parents in Barry County about why they should be talking to their own children regarding sex and also give parents ideas in what to say and how to approach the topic.

Middleville village man­ ager Rebecca Fleury said the village is currently working with Thomapple and Rutland townships to create work together,” said Fleury. The joint planning efforts would help assure communi­ ties are talking and working together to create best uses and not conflicting uses in areas. „ The CGAP helps offset costs associated with merg­ ers, consolidations, inter­ local agreements and cooper­ ative efforts for local units, authorities and school dis­ tricts. <1 This program continues to be a valuable tool for municipalities and school districts looking to collabo­ rate with neighboring units, implement best practices, and get the most of their lim­ ited tax dollars,” said Gov.

A representative from Physio Control demonstrated an AED device they sell at an earlier meeting. Physio Control supplies Thornapple Township Emergency Services with the AED Lifepak units and were rec­ ommended by Chief Dave Middleton for the village. Village manager Rebecca Fleury told village council members however, that Phillips Healthcare actually was awarded the state bid with a lower price per unit than Physio Control. The devices are similar and compatible with each other. Fleury said an adapter is used for compatibility between the Physio device and the Phillips Healthcare device. The adapter, she said, would be included in the price of the unit. Village officials said the device will be mounted on a wall somewhere within the village hall.

The 45.28-acre parcel would be rezoned to agricultural. The property would be used by the university for its athletic com­ plex and would require a spe­ cial-use permit for the facili­ ties. The property is currently part of the Foremost Planned Unit Development. The Caledonia Township Planning Commission voted Monday evening to recommend approval of the rezoning by the township board, A sketch submitted by Nederveld Engineering suggests that approximately 28 acres of the parcel would be used for the athletic facilities.

For families who didn’t leave Michigan for spring break, a trip to the playground in Hastings was a welcome change of pace. TangleTown at Bob King Park in Hastings offered a chance for youngsters to run, jump twirl, climb and slide their way into spring. Temperatures are expected to slide back into the 40s next week as students return to school. Pictured here, is Johnny Christensen, 8, of Middleville, balancing and sliding along some rails.

The library hosted a “crafternoon” event inviting youngsters to come in and make and take some crafts. Some painted wooden caddies made by high school wood shop class students. Others drew pictures in their own art journal. Still others made a skip toy out of used Pringles cans, some rice, colorful duct tape and rope. There was free popcorn, a giant checker board set up, and of course lots of books for youngsters to enjoy as well.

The village is conducting a community survey now through April 30. The survey is available online at the vil­ lage website, www.villageHard ofmiddleville.org. copies of the survey also are available at the village hall. The 35 questions on the survey should take between five and 15 minutes for resi­ dents to complete. Village officials said the survey gives them a better idea of what residents like, what they want to see more of, and will help them determine how funds should be spent in some areas. ' Questions ask for three things residents like: most about living in Middleville and would not want to lose, Several choices are offered offered. as well as space for residents to write in their own respons The survey also asks resi­ dents for three things that need to be improved and again allows for space for an individuals' own comments. There is a place to rate the performance of different aspects of the village. It also asks about where people do most of their shopping, what types of retail, professional or personal services residents feel are needed in the village area, and then some demo­ graphic information about the survey taker including age, how many children live in the household, how long the resident has lived in the village, and gender. The last survey question gives people a chance to add comments or suggestions that were not covered within the survey. Village o leaders said a sur­ vey was done about three years ago and provided valuable information to help plan for the future. Anyone with questions about the survey, or needing help accessing the survey, may call the village offices, 795-3385.

The program is part of a series arranged and coordi­ nated by Mindy Dyke, a paraprofessional the at school. The math night was designed for and focused on first through third grades. Dyke said the event was based on materials prepared and provided by the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math program at Grand Valley State University. The second part of the program, focusing on sci­ ence and technology, will be at the school April 21. “Next year we will flip them — do the science first, and the math second," Dyke said. “The science portion is aimed more towards upper elementary students in grades three to five." Twenty-nine percent of the Dutton Elementary student population is eligible for services through Title 1, a program to provide assis­ tance to students who experi­ ence disadvantages that make learning difficult, said Veitch. . Math specialists Judith Hebert and Chris Smith explained how they adapted methods to the needs of their students. For example, when they noticed several were having difficulty with the concept of time, a tabletop became the face of a clock, complete with an hour hand and a minute hand. Divisions established fractions of hours. They also have estab­ lished a math club, which meets from 7:45 to 8:30 a.m. and has about 15 members. A series of 16 stations was set up in various classrooms during the math night, each demonstrating an arithmetical or mathematical concept or how one uses it in every­ day life, sometimes without realizing. Some stations explored the relationships between numbers and words used to describe them, such as distance and direction, whether an object is near or far or to the right or to the left, Second-grade teacher Heidi Kruizenga, aided by her sister, Carolyn Beggs, who was helping out at the / P:: / । I ► Sadie Grimes and Briana Weber, both second-grade students work with secondgrade teacher Heidi Kruizenga at the Coupon Craze station. Here, students work with coupons and coins to learn money management as well as addition and subtraction with money. Miller worked with Ruler of the Pattern, a station that required students to explore the relationships of shapes and to create and extend pat­ terns using a variety of shapes. The station, I Need a Tie, also dealt with patterns with students choosing the appro­ priate pieces to make a tie for a giraffe. A station that drew many boys and girls was the aero­ nautics station, which used different concepts in design­ ing paper airplanes in prepa­ ration for a contest to deter­ . mine which designs flew the greatest distance.

Council members said they want to check on liability issues with the village insur­ ance company before approving the request. The village council received copies of the Michigan Department of Transportation safety brochure used for road cleanup volunteer groups. • The council approved a recommendation from Department of Public Works Supervisor Duane Weeks for a purchase order for Lites Plus of Portland, MI, for $3,637, and a purchase order for K&A Electric of Freeport for $3,295 for the purchase and installation of energy efficient lighting at the DPW garage, village hall, waste­ water treatment plant and well houses. Lites Plus com­ pleted an energy audit on the village facilities. The audit showed the cost to upgrade lighting and weighed that against the rebates from Consumers Energy, the dol­ lars saved in energy costs and the cost of installation. Total cost to retro-fit the vil­ lage facilities is $9,451. The Consumers Energy rebate is $2,518. The estimated ener­ gy savings is about $312 per month with an estimated total pay back of about 22 months. • Village council members approved re-appointment of Sherry Ronning and Shellie McQueen for three-year terms on the planning com­ mission. Austin Tumes also has completed his term on the planning commission, but because he is moving outside the village limits, will not be re-appointed for another term. The village council is taking applications from interested village resi­ dents to serve on the plan­ ning commission. • Don Williamson was re­ appointed to a five-year term on the Middleville Housing Commission.

The dig is necessary as part of a grant awarded the village for development of a park and recreation area along the river on the north side of Main Street. Officials from the company say they expect .. village &__________ to be ....... in the in the next couple of weeks to being the work and hopefully compete the field work by the end of April as long as weather per­ mits. The amount of digging will be dependent on find­ ings in the initial process. • Environmental testing on the property at 307 Arlington __ continues. The village was informed there are two underground storage tanks located on the property - one for heating oil and one for waste oil. Fleury said it has not been determined if the tanks are full or leaking at this time. Originally, Fleury said she was told the village would have to pay to have the tanks removed. She learned later from SME, the environmental firm working on the project, that since the tanks are impeding the com­ pletion of the testing and reporting, the grant will pay to have them removed. This will save the village between $6,000 and $8,000. • Department of Public Director Duane Works Weeks said crews are work­ ing on filling pot holes and making street repairs as much as possible. He said his department is working on a list of street projects for the year and working on getting cost estimates. Two of the major roads being consid­ ered are East Main Street H about from Manufacturing east up the hill to the village limits, and Grand Rapids Street.

Humorist keeps women’s club audience in stitches by Fran Faverman Staff Writer Members and guests of the Caledonia Women’s Club rocked with laughter as Sister Sue Tracy extolled the virtues of laughter and humor in the therapeutic process. She is a Dominican sister based in Grand Rapids who serves as a chaplain in the Spectrum Health System. Her talk, entitled, “Laugh just for the health of it, punctuated with gestures and an assortment of hats — kept the 45 members and guests in laughter for more than an hour. Tracy began by noting a connection to a Caledonia family from her childhood when she spent time at the McDonald farm with her friend, Mary McDonald. * -Sjr» •A J u 1. » T % U a* * 'Vih11 . ’*1 L !^ll * I X* » I La Aj' r rib Becoming more serious, she said, “We hunger for laughter. The body, mind, and spirit are together.” She shared a favorite quotation from the Swiss theologian, Karl Barth, who said, Laughter is the closest thing to the grace of God.” Tracy said she feels humor is especially important as a celebration of women, segueing into the Red Hat Society, whose only purpose is to have fun and whose official mantra is the Jenny Joseph poem. “When I am old, I shall wear purple and red.” She said she regards humor as very important to her recoveries in her three----- ~ battle with cancer _ _ decade repeated surgeries, interest in participating in the doors event.

During a brief public com­ ment period. Dale Hermenet, a township trustee, commented that the traffic on 68th coming from Davenport scared him. His comment refers to the pos­ sibility that the site will become the location of a football stadium at Davenport. Also on the agenda for the commission was a request by Den Hartigh Enterprises to relocate a new structure replacing an older building that collapsed this winter. Hermenet, who is a town­ ship trustee and a member of the Den Hartigh family, appeared to explain the project. According to the application and him Cherry Valley Development will sell a parcel 3.01 -by-110 feet to Den Hartigh Enterprises, owner of the rental residence on an adjoining parcel. The 40-by80-foot structure will be locat­ ed on the new addition and will replace the collapsed building. Both the structure and the access drive will be added to property currently zoned rural residential and will be removed from the existing permitted mineral removal permit held by Cherry Valley Development. A special use permit will also be needed to construct the proposed accessory building, Archie Warner, chair of the planning commission, noted that the new building would not be fronting on 68th Street. Hermenet explained that the new building would not be used for anything except personal storage of a motor home, a boat, and possibly a couple of cars. No commercial vehicles would be stored in it. Commissioner Ric Parent said he he was was concerned concerned about about said the possible removal of the rezoned area from the parcel to which it would be attached and returned to the PMR zoning, Commissioner Donald Koopmans agreed with Parent, Hermenet said the parcel would be owned by Den Grow MOREL MUSHROOMS CREATE A MOREL GARDEN IN YOUR BACK YARD We provide the seed and easy to use instructions for preparing an outdoor Morel HahUat You just sow the seed, maintain the More!

Warner then raised the question of another business operated on the site, asking, if Cascade Cement would be allowed to expand. When Parent questioned the lack of documentation and parcel numbers, planner Lynee Wells said that they were not rezoning anything that evening. Commissioner Duane Gunnink remarked the new building would be on the house property and would be moved back from the road, Wells said a new survey and legal description of the property is needed in order to rezone the property from the permitted mineral removal to rural residential, residential. “What about a deed restriction barring the return of the property to the PMR,and add personal storage storage only, only,”” Warner suggested. “They are a good business.” Parent questioned the size of of the the building building and and whether whether the materials used in its construction would match those used in the rental residence by type and color. A motion by Gunnink to recommend approval of the rezoning to the township board with conditions of usage, materials, and color was approved 4-1, with Parent dissenting. The next scheduled meeting of the commission will be Monday, April 21, at 7 p.m. in the township hall, 8196 Broadmoor Ave. Financial Focus I I Provided by Andrew McFadden of Edward Jones * ir i Prepare for health care costs during retirement As you save and invest for retirement, what are your ultimate goals? Do you plan on traveling the world? Purchasing a vacation home? Pursuing your hobbies? People often think and plan for these costs. Yet, too often, many of us overlook what potentially could be a major expense during our retirement years: health care, By preparing for these costs, you can help yourself enjoy lifestyle the retirement you’ve envisioned. Many of us may ignore the impact of health care costs because we just assume Medicare will pay for everything. But that’s not the case. In estimating estimatin health care costs during retirement, you may find that $4,000 $4,000 toto $6,000 per year per person for traditional medical expenses is a good starting point, although the amount by varies individual. Furthermore, this figure does not include the costs of longterm care, which can be con­ siderable. To illustrate: The national average for home health aide services is nearly $45,000 per year, and a private room in a nursing home is nearly $84,000 per year, according to a recent survey by Genworth, a financial security company. 65. Also, be aware of‘ the: seven-month window for l _ -------enrolling in Medicare, beginning three months before your 65th birthday. • Review your insurance options. Medicare-approved insurance companies offer parts some other to Medicare, including Part D, which covers prescription drugs; Medigap, which cov­ ers gaps in Parts A and B (in­ hospital expenses, doctor services, outpatient care and some preventive services); and Part C (also known as Medicare Advantage, which is designed to replace Parts A, B, Medigap and, poten­ tially, part D). You have sev­ eral options for Part D, Medicare and Medigap Advantage, each with varying coverage and costs, so choose the plans that best fit your needs. (To learn more about Medicare and supple­ mental insurance, go to www.medicare.gov.) • Develop a long-term care strategy. To meet long-term care costs, you could self­ insure or purchase insurance coverage. To learn about long-term care insurance solutions, contact your financial advisor. • Invest for growth and ris­ ing income. Health care costs typically rise as you move further into retirement, so make sure that a reasonable portion of your assets is allo­ cated to investments with the potential for both growth and rising income. • Think about health care directives. If you were to become incapacitated, you might be unable to make health care decisions — and these decisions may affect not only your quality of life but also your financial situa­ tion, and that of your family. Talk to your legal advisor about establishing a health care directive, which allows you to name someone to make choices on your behalf. Health care costs durin your retirement may be unavoidable.

April 12. 2014/ Page 13 TK tennis will have eight girls new to varsity line-up by Brett Bremer Sports Editor It’s one step up the ladder for Trojan seniors Carly Noah and Hannah Bashore. The duo filled the second and third singles spots for the Trojans as juniors last spring. Noah is starting the year at first singles for the Trojans and Bashore is at number two. Noah was an all-confer­ ence performer at second singles in the OK Gold last spring. TK head coach Larry Seger calls Bashore a "con­ sistent player”, who opened the year by winning her flight at the Cadillac Invitational in East Lansing. Behind the top two though, there is very little varsity experience. Of the 12 spots in the line-up, new varsity players will fill eight, Half the team is made up of freshmen and sophomores. Senior Bethany Budd is moving from second doubles up to third singles, while senior Taylor Miller will jump from fourth doubles up to a first doubles spot. Sophomore Kari Johnson will fill the fourth singles spot. Miller will be joined at first doubles by freshman Hayley Bashore, one of the eight new varsity regulars. Juniors Maddy VerHey and Marlee Willshire at set to fill the second doubles spot. The plan is to have junior Amber VanMeter and freshman Rachael Ranes at third doubles and sophomores Abby Wright and Katie Hanshaw at fourth doubles. Seger plans to use the sophomore duo of Kenzie Kollar and and Michele Michele Lindemulder Lindemulder when aa fifth fifth doubles doubles team team isis when called for. Seger has the young group working to improve their fundamental skills. "This team is young and inexperienced, however. they are showing good improvement and should improve at a good pace,” said Seger. The Trojans have man­ aged to get two duals in so far, winning both. They will return to action Tuesday at home against Cedar Springs and then visit Hamilton Thursday. TK heads to the Lakewood Invitational Saturday. The OK Gold Conference season begins when the Trojans visit Grand Rapids Catholic Central April 21. Seger said he expects South Christian and Catholic Central to be the top two teams in the conference this spring, and that Hastings and Wayland also return line-ups with good experience.

Get better every day. Shoot for an OK Gold Conference Championship. Win as many state medals as possible. South Christian topped the Trojans for an OK Gold title a year ago, and the Trojans and Sailors should be in another good battle this time around. . TK has the conference's meter dash at the conference meet in each of the past two seasons, and was a medalist at the Division 2 State Finals with the Trojan 1600-meter relay team to end the season. Shea is one of three mem­ bers of that medal winning relay team back. Taylor Ward returns in the middle distance races as well for TK and Morgan McNutt is back to pace the hurdle crew.

Those guys are the upper­ classmen now-, ready to lead the way for TK. The group of returnees is led by senior pitcher/shortstop Garrett Harris and junior pitcher/middle infielder Dalton Phillips. Both were key parts of the Trojans' run to the state quarterfinals in 2012. Harris missed most of last season with an injury , With those two guys back, it is easy for TK head coach Jack Hobert to see where his team’s strengths lie: in pitch­ ing and defense. The Trojan line-up is loaded w ith ten seniors and a handful of juniors. Junior Clay Francisco and The group of returning seniors also includes Collin Irwin, Riley Holbrock, Jake Brummel, Steven Arnold, Austin Sprague, Israel Torres, Dylan Wielenga and Ruban French. AJ Nye, a junior, was one of the Trojans' leaders at the plate last spring, hitting .355 with 16 RBI, which was the second most on the team behind Sprague's 19. Francisco had a team-best .391 average last year, while Phillips, Iveson, junior Jake junior Benjamin, and Connnor Collier were all bet­ ter than .300 at the plate a year ago.

The Trojans then open the OK Gold Conference season with a tough double-header against visiting Grand Rapids Catholic Central. The Trojans then visit Catholic Central for one Thursday. Hobert said he expects Catholic Central and South Christian to be two of the top teams in the league this spring. "We were very young last year, and that helped this group mature," Hobert said.

Walter returns for his final season leading the distance crew for the Thornapple Kellogg varsity boys’ track and field team. Walter was the OK Gold Conference champion in the 1600-meter run and the 3200-meter run in 2013, and earned a medal at the Division 2 Track and Field Final in the 1600, plac- ing seventh. TK also returns Drayson Beyer and Wyatt DeLeeuw in the distance races, and will get a boost from freshmen Luke Noah and Eric Walter in those events. It's a solid group of returnees overall for the Trojans. Kyle Krey and Kyle Kraus return in the pole vault for the Trojans, and Connor Leach is looking to have a good senior season -in the jumps. Caleb Sabri will be looking to compete with a outstanding number of sprinters in the OK Gold Conference this spring, While Walter was competing ing inin aa long longrun run atat the the state state finals last last year, year, Ottawa Ottawa Hills Hills finals had a number of guys competing peting inin the the sprints. sprints.

Scot girls bring back a lot of offensive firepower by Brett Bremer Sports Editor Caledonia varsity girls' Ralph coach lacrosse Shefferly knows his team will be able to score this spring. I'he question is. how- well will the Fighting Scots do keeping other team's from scoring? Senior goalkeeper Helen Miller, a two-time all-state performer, will be back to do everything she can, along with senior defender Tori Alexander. Shefferly also expects a couple of new var­ sity players, senior McKenna Maynard and junior Brianna Hoogterp to help on the back end. ‘ Expectations are high once again for the Fighting Scots, who finished the 2013 season with an II-IO record and ranked third in the state in Division 2. That record and that ranking combined show just how tough a schedule the Fighting Scots play. • Things aren't changing this spring. The Scots will once again face the defend­ State ing Division 2 Champions from East Grand Rapids a couple times, the defending Division I State Champions from Rockford a couple times, as well as solid teams from Forest Hills and Grand Rapids Central in con­ ference play. The Fighting Scots come into the season ranked better than all of them, except 9 I four-year varsity player who plans to continue his playing career at Albion College after graduation, leads the defense. Nate Winterbum, a junior, is back for his second year on defense for the varsity as well. The group of returning junior midfielders includes Logan Soule, Sam McBride, Zach Wolford and James Norton. Norton and Soule are starting their third year on the varsity, while it’s the second varsity season for McBride and Wolford. Gevorkyan likes the depth at both the midfield and defensive positions, and the way his defenders play the team’s aggressive, take­ away driven defense. The Scots are hoping to finish the season with a win­ ning record in their confer­ ence, and to do well in the conference tournament. The Caledonia team is still chas­ ing its first state tournament victory ever as well. The Scots are slated to host Lowell Tuesday and Rockford, which is the top ranked team in the slate in Division I. The Scots are number one in Division 2, and third in the combined DI-2 rankings. Leading the attack are sen­ midfielder Keagan ior Pontious and senior attacker Ashley Watson, who are both three-time all-state selections. Seniors Savannah Monroe and Amy Kuzava return to the attack as well, and senior Matti Hisey returns in the midfield. The Scots have even tried to make their schedule tougher this season, adding Forest Park, from Illinois, to the schedule and bringing Brighton in to the Caledonia Invitational. Those tough non-conference contests are slated for May 9 and 10 respectively. The Scots are schedule to host East Grand Rapids Wednesday to open up their conference season.

Caledonia's varsity girls’ soccer team has a number of excellent soccer players returning in 2014 as it tries to improve on its conference state tournament finishes from a year ago. The Scots were second in the OK White Conference and were edged in the regional finals of the Division 1 state tour­ nament. The team lost six key players to graduation last spring, and what the Scots really need now is a little bit of time to “sort out what combinations work best together,” said head coach Steve Sanxter, who is enter­ ing his 11th season leading the Fighting Scot program.

Too bad for the Scots there is a trio of teams in the OK White Conference that expect to be great once again. Fighting Scot head coach Joe Zomerlei expects Grand Rapids Christian, East Grand Rapids and Jenison to once again be among the top teams in the state of Michigan. That will make finishing higher than the middle of the pack in the OK White Conference tough. Caledonia lost its lone individual state qualifier to graduation last spring, but have few girls back who were among the best in their events in the league last year. Senior Cara Murphy returns in the sprints, relays and the high jump. She cleared 5 feet 2 inches in the high jump at the conference meet last year to finish as the runner-up. Senior Holly Rave will join Murphy in the sprint relays, and compete in the 200-meter dash and the 400meter run herself. She was the conference runner up in the 400. The list of top returnees for the Scots also includes senior Allie Donalson in the middle distance events and the relays, senior Bianca Postema in the sprints, mid­ dle distance races and relays, junior Olivia Bordewyk in the distance races and junior Jenna Schumacher in the throws. Zomerlei said he expects his team to be good in the distance races, the hurdles and the high jump once again. Sophomore Saylor Schultz will look to have an impact in the hurdles this year for the Scots. Lindsay Murphy, another sophomore, will put her talents to use in the sprints and jumps. Sophomore Cassidy Sanford could score points for the Scots in the high jump and the pole vault this season. The Scots also expect some solid performances from freshman Olivia Schroder in the distance races. Above all, the Scots have depth. There are 70 ladies on the team this spring.

Caledonia finished third overall in the OK White Conference a year ago, then just missed out on qualifying for the regional round of the Division 1 state tournament.

The entire trio is back for the Scots this spring, as is the rest of the top five from the end of the season. The trio of regional quali­ fiers includes seniors Joey Baum and Matt Miller, and junior Ryan Coe. Coe was just two strokes behind the final state qualifiers at the regional tournament hosted by Cedar Creek Golf Course in Battle Creek. Juniors Jared Smith and Adam Alkema also return from the team that placed eighth at districts last year, The varsity and junior varsity line-ups are still being worked out, as the winter weather has limited the team's chances of getting out on the course.

The action was taken at their regular monthly board meet­ ing held this past Thursday afternoon in the community room of the Caledonia Public Library. The current millage of 0.88 mills expires this year. According to information supplied by the system, the cost for library services will result in an increase of $30 annually to $96 a year on a Ihome with a taxable value of $150,000. In a brief conversation with the Sun and News, Lance Werner, executive director, KDL, said he was ।optimistic about success for the proposal. He added the 0.40 increase would just enable the system to meet its current needs and levels of service. . Trustee Shirley Bruusema, who represents Caledonia and Gaines Townships and the city of Kentwood, told the Sun and News she is planning to appear at the May 21, meeting of the Caledonia Township Board of Trustees to explain the proposal. toliii « wh AYNARD’S L WAT ER CONDITIONING FT- --- =□» ----—, ------------- - Stop staining laundry, sinks and showers.

In other words, while home repair services, adult day care services, meals on wheels, personal care servic­ es, transportation ' services, and many others are avail­ able, there is a cost to the users of the services, who are billed monthly for their share. "Home and community­ based care saves us all money," said Schumaker. She observed that over 90 percent of seniors want to remain in their homes as long as possible. She also noted that Kent County has an increasing population of citizens who need the servic­ es. In 2013, 17,000 residents of Kent County received services through funds pro­ vided by the millage, copays, and donations to the pro­ grams. Caledonia Community Schools District Superintendent Randy Rodriguez said that, in the interest of time, he was pro­ viding an abbreviated pres­ entation about the district's request for a $41 million bond issue. He began by observing that the district had been forced into the spe­ cial election on May 6 by the decision of the legislature to cap the amount in the Michigan School Revolving Bond Fund at $1.8 billion. School districts had been informed the cap would be reached sometime this year. "If Caledonia missed the opportunity this year, said it would be Rodriguez, 2017 before they could apply," he explained. In the meantime, Caledonia High School, built to hold 1,250 students plus staff, was handling 1,450 students with projections showing a continuing steady growth in the number of stu- dents with the district expected to hit the 5,000 stu­ dent mark by 2018-2020. Rodriguez moved on to discuss how the $41 million would be divided. "The new school will cost $28 million and will open in 2017," he said. "We also have five schools without vestibules. For safety and security we want to add limited entrance to those build­ ings. That will cost about $2.6 million, Additional funds will be spend on technology ($1.5 million), athletic facilities ($1.2 million); the remaining funds will be used to maintain other exist­ ing infrastructure as needed. The effect of the schools of choice option was a con­ cern for board members. Rodriguez said that this year it was capped at 17 percent of the school population; it had been reduced • slightly from the previous year. He explained that all Michigan school districts are required by law to offer a schools-of-choice option. He went on to say that beginning in 2008 when the school board and administration were looking at incredible cuts to the budget, the approximately $5.2 million received from grants follow­ ing students led to a net sav­ ings of $3 million with a cost to educate those students of about $1.8 million. Koopmans congratulated him on the 96 percent gradu­ ation rate in Caledonia before inquiring about the state-mandated ✓ Common Core Curriculum and local control. "We have always had state replied standards,” Rodriguez. “What we get to choose are the materials to use to teach the standards, There were two other items of business on the Caledonia The agenda, LaCrosse Association was II II II - —* gsa FT5 T EK S a H a: TvIB ia I■Z* i .. it ;• I I I • 4 I 4"’ Annual k• I *• THORNAPPLE WOODPECKER FESTIVAL jari app’lf April 26, 2014 £ requesting approval by the board of a resolution to allow them to have a gaming license for a fundraiser. Harrison explained the organization had tax-exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service and wanted to hold a raffle. The resolu­ tion was approved 7-0. A resolution to establish counting boards for all future elections required explana­ tion. According to Harrison and Christian, a recent change in state law requires townships to establish per­ manent counting boards for absentee ballots. Previously they had been established at each election. The resolution was approved 7-0. Harrison expressed con­ cern regarding the future plans of Davenport University. He said their long-term plans and the impact on the township, especially now that parks and trails are proceeding. He feels lines of communication need to be established between the university and the township, Treasurer Richard Robertson said the township had received a clean audit for 2013 and he wondered if he should brief the board on the audit or leave it to Harrison. Harrison said he would pre­ fer Robertson to explain the audit. Koopmans asked if Davenport had a master plan for its future; if they do, he wants it to be shared with the township. Hermenet said the Caledonia Expo event had been a very nice event with many local businesses partic­ ipating; he thanked Trustees Rick Snoeyink and Kelly Wolf and Christian for man­ ning the township booth. Snoeyink closed out the comment period saying the Caledonia Farmers Market will open on Saturday, May 10, at the Christian Reformed Church location on 100th Street. The market will be open Saturdays through the end of October. The next regularly sched­ uled meeting of the board will be on Wednesday, May 6, at 7 p.m. in the township offices, 8196 Broadmoor Ave. . to Freeport Fire Department volunteers will be piling up the pancakes Saturday, April 26, from 7 to 11 a.m. as they host their annual breakfast at the fire station, 100 State St. in Freeport. A donation will be taken at the door for the breakfast that will consist of pancakes, eggs, sausage, orange juice, coffee and milk. The pan­ cake breakfast is usually in February but, due to the heavy snowfall this year, there was not any parking area available around the fire station. station. Proceeds from this event will go toward purchasing a new squad vehicle. “Our previous vehicle is no longer reliable,” said fire chief Jim Yarger. “We have located a used Chevy pickup that we have purchased and will outfit with the dollars we raise during this event." Freeport Volunteer Fire Department currently has 28 firefighters and medical first responders who cover territo tory in four townships: Carlton and Irving in Barry County, Bowne in Kent County, and Campbell in Ionia County. The fire department will also have its annual auction Saturday, May 31. Those who have items they would like to donate may leave a message at the fire station, 616-765-5450. The fire department is not able to accept donations of non­ working appliances, tires or clothing. ‘ Mock crash scene planned at TKHS Middleville community members shouldn't be alarmed when they see sev­ eral emergency response vehicles on the service drive between the high school and middle school Thursday, April 24.

The two most recent issues are prime examples of govern­ ment for council members by council members, with no interest in serving the popu­ lation. First, the evaluation of the village manager was an embarrassment for people who supervise and manage people everywhere. If you are going to find fault with someone’s performance, you need to address the issues which prompted you to mark them poorly on their evalua­ tion. It makes one wonder if Ms. Lutz is not just bitter that her husband, Mr. Moffat, did not receive the position as village manager. We can only hope that the upcoming election provides in votes (or lack of) valuable feedback to council members that are using their positions to prop­ agate personal agendas. the question Second, raised by council member Lutz about changing the form of government in Middleville. Her comment that “Thomapple Township does not spend their money wisely, and is not a viable option,” again begs the ques­ tion of Mr. Moffatt s discon­ tinued activities at the town­ ship, still remaining a per­ sonal issue. Speaking of inappropriate use of funds, how much did her question cost the citizens of Middleville? What should concern us all is the damage done to the council's morale and mem­ bers interested in continuing to serve the village. Further, the village’s inability to attract quality paid leadership, should a good manager on. move up and Government leadership is difficult to find in smaller communities and when meetings are filled with petty and personal agendas that take up enormous time and resources, people pull away. Many positive things are happening in the village and in the township. Let us celebrate our moving forward.

This plan will be a road map for the county for the next four years.” Also announced by the commissioner was the approved dog census, to commence May 1. “Get your dog licensed or risk being issued a ticket,” said Stolsonburg. “If your dog has been registered, the census takers will not be coming to your door.

The Scots also got goals from Payton Kooiker and Mitch Knoll, and a pair of assists from Sam McBride. Keeper David Biscorner had five saves for the Scots, and Zack Knowles led the defense with five turnovers. A tough loss for Caledonia Men's Lacrosse brings them to 4-1 on the season and 2-1 in conference. Lowell had strong and consistent quar­ ters to lift them past Caledonia ll to 8.

Saturday, April 19, 2014 Ceremonial events highlight village council meeting !> by Fran Faverman Staff Writer Village President Glenn Gilbert accepted the award for excellence in transparen­ cy in government in 2013 from Eric Larson, M.D., president, Kent County Taxpayers’ Alliance. The vil­ lage had scored 15 of 24 pos­ sible points on the alliance’s scale. It was the highest score achieved among the five village governments in the county. Gilbert said, "The credit for this award goes to Sandy (Ayers) and Lisa (Segard) and our other employees for all their hard work." Ayers and Segard are respectively the village manager/clerk and administrative associate/deputy/treasurer. Ayers in turn passed on the credit to Segard, saying that she had done most of the work. • Segard said. "We'd been close so I contacted them and asked, what did we need to do to improve our rating. What we did was to add options to our website." The changes led to a B rating for the village. According to her additional improvements in their rating would require technology the village does not have and additional per­ sonnel.

Sterling Morton in 1872 approached the Nebraska Board of Agriculture and suggested the creation of a day to celebrate the positive effects of trees on the envi­ ronment. The idea caught on and became a national cele­ bration; its current modernday incarnation is called Earth Day and occurs on April 22. The village also has the distinction of a consecutive streak of almost 20 years of being named a Tree City.

With the addition of a new 3-D printer, Thornapple Kellogg High School and middle school students are able to create new designs without leaving the class­ room. The new printer is being used with high school stu­ dents in Scott Meyers' draft­ ing and CAD classes and in Andy Kopf's principles of technology classes. It's also being used at the middle school level where Meyers also teaches a 21st Century Skills class. High school students are currently using the Parametric CAD software to design anything from iPhone stands to fishing lure molds and then produce the items using the classroom 3-D printer. Additionally, sixth grade students completed a class design competition using Google Sketchup. Students were encouraged to design a new tool or toy or something unique. When the designs were complete, the class voted for their favorites, two of which were created using the 3-D printer. The winning middle school designs were created by Anna Miller and Savannah Bronkema. This new technology has already proven to be an invaluable addition to the TKHS CAD and technology area, according to Meyers. Meyers said tomorrow's engineers and designers deserve every tool available to secure their futures and 3­ D printing encourages limit­ less creativity where stu­ dents can test their designs in a real environment.

Grand East Rapids jumped to the top of the state’s Division 2 standings with a 10-8 victory over the host Scots. The Fighting Scots were done in by a rough start, which saw the Pioneers take a 7-3 lead in the opening half. EGR led 7-4 at the intermission. “We have three freshmen that have to start in there. We have not been outside for any practices longer than 40 min­ utes. We’ve been outside once for a 40 minute prac­ tice. The spring is taking a toll on us,” said Caledonia head «oach Ralph Shefferly. “That first half ... we must have turned it over 12-14 times. When you do that, you turn it over against a team like East Grand Rapids, they’re defending state champs and they're not defending state champs for They’re pretty nothing. They're ^ood.” East Grand rapids junior Liza Elder had a goal and an assist and looked like the best player on the field much of the evening. Freshman Lindsay Duca had three goals for the Pioneers and sophomore Lexi Duca had two. “On defense, we couldn’t Stop anybody,” Shefferly said. “Our girls have a tendency to either ball watch or girl watch totally, and you really have to do a portion of each. You have to keep your head moving. I don't know how many goals (Lindsay Duca) had, but she just killed us. We’ve got to be able to stop people better. We've got to be able to transition the ball up the field better.

M-43 Highway, Hastings, Ml 49058 139th year TK must extend year Final community bond forum to make up snow days planned before May 6 vote foD • wori xjuzni riausrl loorioz > muni i noil Mnizni oT jfnorlT n II iw / owT iaH no oT nil Is niupoi Governor Rick Snyder has signed legislation regarding how schools must address instructional time lost to the harsh winter of 2013-14. The legislation requires all schools to provide a mini­ mum of 174 days of instruc­ tion and 1,098 hours of instruction for the year. To comply, the Thomapple Kellogg district will make up seven days, Two were already made up on Feb. 17 and March 14. To make up the addition­ al time, the district will require students kindergarten through 11th grade to attend full days on June 6, 9, 10 and half days on June 11 and 12. High school students will have a full day on June 5 rather than the previously scheduled half day. School was originally scheduled to adjourn for the summer with a half day on June 5. The addition of these days will get the district to the required 174 days of instruction and the required 1,098 hours. Superintendent Tom Enslen said the added days are instructional days with grades and attendance being recorded. He said it is extremely important to have students attend on those make-up days. Thomapple Kellogg can­ celled classes 13 days during the 2013-14 year. The dis­ trict is allowed to take advantage of six state allowed “act of God” days, but will need to make up the additional time. The change will not affect high school seniors or the high school graduation. 9 A final bond informational forum will be held at 6:30 p.m. April 29 in the Thomapple Kellogg Middle School. TK district voters are being asked to consider approval of a $6,055 million bond at the May 6 election, If approved, the bond will add 0.73 mills per $1,000 of taxable property value for up to M years. Funds from the bond will be used to improve school security, update and to add technology at all schools, to replace eight buses, to improve energy savings with improved computerized controls, to replace leaky windows and to make sever­ al site improvements includ­ ing sidewalk repairs, bus and traffic lane repavings, and replacing portions of the high school roof. There There would also be some some improvements made to the athletic athletic facilities facilities including including replacement replacement of of the the running running track and the synthetic turf field, the addition of a new press box and the replace­ ment of three scoreboards. A homeowner with a tax­ able property value of $50,000 will pay approxir mately $36.50 more per year if the bond is approved. The taxable value is half of the approximate home market value.

Referring to both a map and a graphic showing the various phases of the project as it would be developed over a period of years, Kraker explained that, ultimately, the project will con­ sist of 63 single-family homes in varying price ranges, 21 condos, and 70 assisted living units. The first phase will be constructed so than an entrance from the project will match up with Maple Street to the east, and allow tums to the north and south to 100th Street from Kinsey Street. A sewer connection would be made with the sewer at the Gregg Apartments property. Water connections will be from ^to Maple Street and per Michigan Department of Environmental Quality regulations, the main will be looped. . The single-family homes will be located on the north­ west of the property and will back up to the grounds of the Caledonia Elementary School. When the number of housing units on the property reaches 70, the Kent County will .

Neal Kraay, chairman of Leisure Living, Living, said said his his comcomLeisure pany has found small towns to to be be aa very very favorable favorable envienvijronment for the units they build and operate. He said they typically start with 20 units and add additional units as the market develops. The units would be residential in appearance and would be composed of brick and white vinyl.

These parcels must be accounted for in a new or amended PUD. To do this, they must be rezoned. He said the PUD did allow for more flexibility than other zoning classifications; the current plan proposed by the developer provides for a mix of uses. Environmental issues such as the importance to residents along Kinsey and 100th Streets of a natural environment that features birds and deer and other wildlife were a major con­ cern for many people. Also an environmental concern was the effect on existing property values of housing designed to meet varying varyin income levels. One resident expressed her view, sayin a "I moved here to get away from the ghetto." Trustee Elizabeth Fanco was con­ cerned about trees; she won­ dered if the developer would be sensitive to the Village's status as a Tree City, an award the village has been consistently receivin eo for almost 20 years. Responding to concerns about a sell-off of baby boomer homes, Sisson said the questioner was not going to like the answer. According to him, the housing industry is in a long-term trend where smaller is better. He said "Empty nesters, young professionals, there is strong demand for smaller units. The trend is expected to last until 2040; it is a national and state trend." Trustee Dan Erskine, speaking from the audience. provided some historical per­ spective. * "We heard this when we did Glen Valley in 1976, people wanted smaller lots, "he remarked. Citing a more recent development adjoining some school district property, he continued, "Look at Scotsmoor." He g closed his remarks, sayin 5 ’ "This is the last large chunk of village property." Wangerin closed the pub­ lic comment period ' and ’ thanked the audience for their comments. He remind­ ed the group that the next meeting of the Planning Commission will be on the fourth Thursday in May. He said the commissioners had taken notes and would be considering what they had heard from residents as they engaged in their work. : I l-L 4 .r -< lici* ?

Patti Warmington, direc­ tor of health promotion for the Cherry Street Health Services in Grand Rapids, said her organization has been looking at districts in Kent, Ottawa, Montcalm and Barry Counties that have successfully implemented strong policies against tobac­ co use within the district as part of the Michigan Department of Community Health initiative reducing tobacco use. . Warmington said TK has a strong comprehensive policy against all tobacco product use on school grounds, in school vehicles or at schoolsponsored functions. “It’s excellent that you have this kind of policy that is so comprehensive,’’ com­ plimented Warmington. “You are ahead of the game in many ways.” Of the 578 public school districts in the state, she said only 213 districts have what meets the comprehensive plus policy standards. Most of the districts: within the Kent Intermediate School District, she said, have simi­ lar comprehensive policies and she will be working with those that don’t encourage strong policies. matter, In another Thornapple Kellogg Parks and Recreation Commission Director Catherine Getty presented the board with an 1 4 * V 1 4 (ft > A K w L. .3 *s T • 41a. 9 -aid r.M >4 V ■ i* •4 1 fa v *L •v L % A Wr < m G® Caledonia Girl Scout Troop #3723 is the recipient of the Silver Award, the highest level of achievement for a Cadette Girl Scout.

Many people think Medicare will cover everything, but that’s not the case — in fact, you could easily spend a few thousand dollars each year, out of pocket, for health care costs. And since these costs typi­ cally rise as you move fur­ ther into retirement, you’ll need a reasonable portion of your assets to be allocated to investments with the poten­ tial for rising income. Even beyond normal health care costs, though, you II need to be aware that you could eventually need some type of long-term cane, such as a slay in a nursing home or assis- lance from a htxne health aide. These costs can be enormous; to cope with them, you need to prepare well ahead of time, to you may want to consult with your financial advisor for possible solutions* • How can I protect mv - 9 ‘ family?

Last year, two local women, Diane Ebaugh of Hastings and Kim Evans of Middleville, planned to run the 2013 Boston Marathon and “do it right,” running without injuries and giving it their all. However, their plans were cut short when two bombs were detonated near the finish line. The bombs killed three people, injured more than 150 others and brought the worldfamous race to an abrupt and shocking end. After returning home from last year’s race, Ebaugh said she was uncertain of she would run the Boston Marathon again since the 2013 event was meant to be her 13th and final marathon. Evans, however, said if she qualified, she would run in 2014. “You can’t let idiots spoil something like this,” Evans said. • And they didn’t. Ebaugh said she decided that if she also qualified, she would join Evans and run the fabled race one more time. Both women, who had participated in the marathon in prior years, said the event makes runners feel like rock > stars, and ft this year’s marathon was better than ever. ( . ll 1 felt like I needed to do it again, and it was wonderful,” said Ebaugh. “There was a lot more security than in years past, but there were also twice as many specta­ tors lining the course — all 26.2 miles. There was amaz­ ing crowd support. There was so much positive energy, the runners could really feel the crowd supporting them the entire length of the course.” Evans agreed. “It was even better than in years before,” she said. “The crowd was amazing the way it supported the runners. 1 have never given so many high fives along a race course — little kids, old peo­ ple — it was really inspirmg.

Evans, whose time of 4:08:09 qualified her to compete in the 2015 Boston Marathon, said she is unde­ cided whether she will participate in the elite event next year. “I will definitely go again; but, I’m not sure if I will go as a competitor,” she said. “This year felt so special. I have never been to a . marathon where there was so much support for the competitors — it was an amazing experience. While I’d like to go out on top, I did qualify, and I’d like to do it again.

Eerily spooky. But that’s what it was like Thursday afternoon when Thornapple Kellogg High School students were immersed in a mock threecar crash with one victim dying at the scene, four more injured and one driver arrested for drunk driving.

Sch°o1Principal Tony Koski said it’s a tough lesson. “ We do this for a couple of reasons - most important­ ly to show the realities of and driving," drinking explained Koski. “The con­ tent is difficult, but it hap­ pens in real life." The three-care crash was staged on the service road between the high school and middle school. Emergency service workers from . Thornapple Township, Freeport and Caledonia placed a sheet over the one student partially ejected and killed in the mock crash, then cut apart the vehicles to get the other victims out. They strapped them to back­ boards and loaded them in waiting ambulances while the student body watched from the soccer fields. Meanwhile a state police officer and a Middleville officer from the sheriff’s department administered field sobriety tests, then cuffed and placed under arrest the drunk driver. Once the accident scene was cleared, students gathered in the gym for the mock funeral and trial. Beeler-Gores Funeral Home of Middleville wheeled in a casket while pictures of high school sen­ ior Sydney Krol, who played the part of the fatal victim, flashed across a movie screen.

Caledonia wins Medicine Game Invite �Page 18/Tbe Sun and News, Saturday, April 26, 2014 Limiting mistakes puts Vikings on top at tourney by Brett Bremer Sports Editor There was a big of a homecoming feel to Saturday’s Hastings Invitational. Saxon varsity baseball­ coach Marsh Evans got to see his former players Jack Hobert, Jamie Garretl and Jesse Lyons coaching for opponents throughout the course of the day. “Having Jack come back from Middleville and Jamie Garrett, his assistant coach, and then Jesse here, J love those kids.” said Evans. “I coached them when they were young. Jesse was my manager when he was 8-9 years old, falling asleep on my shoulder on Ion bus rides home. That’s what’s fun about this stuff. It was special to have those guys here today " Evans’ Saxons got the best of Lyons’ Delton Kellogg team in the consolation game that ended the day at Johnson Field, 9-5.

That’s the name of the game,” said Frost. “Both Kam (Comer) and (Dylan) Kemp it was their first outing of the year and both threw complete games, kept the pitch-count down, threw strikes, and our defense made the plays. The kids put the bat on the ball, we ran the bases well, and we bunted, had a suicide. We just got on top early and played solid the rest of the way. It was a good win. Middleville is a great team.” Kemp got the win in the championship game, allow­ ing just one run on two hits and two walks. He struck out five Trojans. The one run against him was earned, but it followed one of the Vikings’ few moments of mental lapses - a flyball which got lost in the sun and then a pick-off attempt at first base which flew wide of its mark and allowed the Trojan baserunner to advance to third with no out in the top of the seventh. The Vikings had plenty of cushion at that point though, thanks to a four-run first inning. “That first inning was just horrendous,” Hobert said. “We couldn’t get an out. I’m not gonna sugar coat it. We had a lot of mental break­ downs in that game and that’s not like us. I don’t think our kids were prepared, mentally prepared, to play that second game.” ” You can’t have mental lapses against a good team because they’re going to cap­ italize. And Lakewood is a good team and they capital­ ized.” Alex Caudy had a pair of singles and an RBI in the final to lead the Lakewood attack. Connor Hansbarger, Kemp, Jordan White, Doug Suntkin, Comer and Forman had the Vikings other six hits, all singles. Forman and Suntkin had the only other RBI. Connor Collier drove in TK’s lone run, with the sac­ rifice fly that brought home teammate AJ Nye from third in the top of the seventh.

Hastings pulled within 2-1 in the bottom of the fifth inning thanks to an RBI sac­ rifice fly from Zach McMahon that scored Draven Pederson from third. Only two of the Vikings’ five runs were earned. Stephen Shaffer, Connor von der Hoff and Nate Pewoski (2B) had the three Saxon hits. Lakewood had just three hits as well, a pair of singles from Kemp and one off the bat of McKay Markwart. Markwart had a pair of RBI, and Hansberger, Caudy and Jordan White had one each, Thornapple Kellogg reached the championship game with an 8-0 win over Delton Kellogg in the second game of the day. “Donald Lenard pitched a tremendous game, a compiete-game shut out,” said Hobert. “He had a no-hitter through five. He brought it. “We were aggressive on the basepaths. I think Delton is a pretty decent team, one of the best teams I’ve seen from them in a long time over there. Hats off to Don he pitched really well.” TK took control of that game with a four-run third inning, which included sin­ gles from Dalton Phillips and Nick Iveson as well as a coupie walks, a hit batter and a Delton error. The Trojans had just four hits. They got singles from Harris and Collier, and a single and a double from Dalton Phillips. Harris, Harris, Austin Sprague and Iveson scored two runs each. A single by Cameron Tobias and a double by Chase Herzog, both in the bottom of the seventh, were the only hits for Delton in the loss. Both Lyons and Evans were happy with their way their offense came to life a bit in the consolation game. Hastings scored four runs in the bottom of the second, two in the third and three in the fourth of its 9-5 victory. The Saxons had nine hits, by eight different players. Shaffer had a single and a double to lead the attack. He drove in a run and scored one in the second inning Saxon surge, which was helped by a couple walks and a hit batter. von der Hoff had a RBI double in the second as well. Mitchell Gee, Michael Eastman, Zach McMahon and Pewoski had one hit and one RBI each, with McMahon’s one hit being a double. “I was happy with our swings today and for the most part our pitching was okay,” Evans said. Delton Kellogg had six hits, led by Petzoid’s two doubles. He had one RBI. Sam Horrocks drove in two runs with a single in the top of the second inning. Morgan had a single and Delton’s other RBI. “We’ve got to work on getting control of our walks and wild pitches, and our errors. We were beating our­ selves,” said Lyons. “Once we get that all under control we’ll be all right.” Mac Clisso got the win on the mound for the Saxons in the finale. •j4* & sllW’ juit'W list* Bits .to nS I iiMO it 3 •Wk ’ ‘tap f •'5 M i * * «• ■MN | Time to SPRING IntoaeHohl! / A GET YOUR CARPETS * ■ & UPHOLSTERY CLEANED . •l ECO - Friendly Green Products Used.

About eight minutes later, the Saxon defense left TK's Erin Scheidel too much space in the middle of the field. She ot a pass from Graham and ripped a shot over Demott to make it 2-0 in just under ten minutes of play. Graham finished the night with those two assists and one goal, the Trojans’ sixth of the game, to move her three goals from the career record for goals at TK. "She played great tonight,” said TK head coach Joel Strickland. “I actually pulled her aside and said, "it's okay to shoot,” but she's unselfish too. She got the first two assists of the game. She's a great player.” Scheidel is a great player too, who finished with two goals and an assist in the game. Alyvia Thorne scored off an assist from Emily Adams for TK in the first half, and Haley Alverson notched the assist on Scheidel’s second goal of the first half. Lamberg scored off an assist from Scheidel midway through the second half, then Grahm finished off the scoring with 12:32 to play thanks to an assist from Shelbi Shepherd. “We had a better second half,” said Hastings head coach Tim SchoesseJ.

The Trojans' top doubles duo of Hayley Bashore and Taylor Miller pushed the Cougars for the entire match in a 7-5, 6-3 loss to Liz Rabaut and Ellen Rabaut. a I was really happy with these kids, the way they played,” said TK head coach Larry Seger. “They fought for every single point. We had long points, lots of long rallies. 1 thought all our doubles did especially well.” TK’s Maddy VerHey and Marlee Willshire were Willshire downed 6-4, 6-1 by the Cougars’ Kate Bennett and Shannon Hollern at number two. The TK third doubles team of Amber VanMeter and Rachel Ranes fell 6-4, 6­ 2 to Liz Jakubowski and Hannah Rice. At fourth dou­ bles, the Cougar team of Monica Blanco and Andryce Klinkscale scored a 6-4, 6-0 win over Abby Wright and Katie Hanshaw. “They just had j^oo much experience for us, especially in the singles. But, our third singles in particular (Bethany Budd) that was a 6­ 0, 6-1 match, but she was out there a long time. She made that girl work a lot. We did hit a lot of tennis balls in sin­ gles today, and Hannah (Bashore) here too, she had some good rallies, long ral­ lies. “We're just going to get better and better, as long as the rallies stay long and we’re hitting a lot of tennis balls I'm happy with it. That's what makes us bet­ ter.” Budd was downed by the Cougars' Rebecca Faber. Bashore was downed 6-0, 6­ 2 by Liz Pniewski. Catholic Central also had Sarah Shadowens score a 6­ 0, 6-0 win over Carly Noah at first singles and Yvonne Danko top Kari Johnson 6-0, 6-1 at fourth singles. The Trojans followed up that defeat with a 6-2 confer­ ence victory at Hastings Wednesday. Hastings took the top two singles flights, with Abbey VanDiver pulling out a close 6-4,6-3 win over Noah in the first singles match. “We expected this to be a 99 z * i tp if •i r| 5* & fl w FJr r I ¥ Thornapple Kellogg second doubles player Maddy VerHey reaches to her forehand side to hit a volley at Grand Rapids Catholic Central Monday afternoon.

Budd scored a 6-1, 6-2 ’ over Natalie victory Anderson at third singles, and Johnson scored a 6-2, 6­ 4 victory over Hannah LaJoy for the Trojans at number four. “Bethany Budd and Kari Johnson were very consistent playing some very long points, Seger said. “Both seemed to have good control of their matches •and were comfortable playing long 99 t The fpurth doubles match was the only doubles match where the Trojans needed more than two sets to score a victory. Wright and Hanshaw scored a 6-1, 4-6, win over Cassidy 6-1 Monroe and Mara Allan. The other three Trojan doubles teams gave up just three games total. Miller and Hayley Bashore topped Palm Arammonthiralai and Sara DeBolt 6-1, 6-0 at first dou­ bles. VerHey and Willshire topped Brittany Johnson and Clare Green 6-2, 6-0. Ranes and VanMeter scored a 6-0, 6-0 win for TK over Nicole Hunt and Abby Laubaugh at number three doubles. Seger was also very pleased with the improvements VanMeter and Ranes showed in the groundstrokes and service game.

Park topped Comstock Ranes and VanMeter 5-7, 6­ 3, 6-4 at third doubles and Wright and Hanshaw 6-7(6), 6-3, 6-1 at number four. “Our lack of experience showed a bit at the lower end of the lineup, but our players all played great points throughout their matches. We showed a strong effort up and down the line-up, but in the end the little things hurt us the most," Seger said. “We served well and played pretty steady from the back­ court. We will need to focus more on serve returns and angled volleys. We had chances from the forecourt that a little more experience will correct. 1 really liked our aggressiveness at the net. We simply need to do a little better job of hitting angled volleys and overheads. All in all a great effort by a young roup of doubles players." TK was third Saturday at the Lakewood Invitational, winning two flight champi­ onships. Lansing Christian took the day’s title with 47 points, followed by Lakewood 42, TK 40, Port Huron 24, Hillsdale 20 and Ionia 15.

TK allows just one run in winning county invite by Brett Bremer Sports Editor Thornapple Kellogg ended Lakewood’s habit of winning the Hastings Invitational Saturday. The Trojan varsity softball team scored a 9-1 victory over the Vikings in Saturday's championship contest, after topping Delton Kellogg 17-0 in three innings in its first game of the day. “There was hitting from top to bottom. We only made a couple of errors. We’ve been playing really good defense,” said Thomapple Kellogg head coach Andy Saldivar. “We got excellent pitching by Graycen (Bailey). She was just throw­ ing the ball really, really well. “I think we're finally getting warmed up now, with this spring and the weather. We re showing the hitting now and what we can do.

I just hope we continue to play this way.” The two victories are the first two of the season for the Trojans, who are 2-4. Bailey and first baseman Sandra Gerou led the way for TK. Bailey allowed just one run in her ten innings in the circle. She allowed just two hits and struck out four with­ out issuing a walk- against Delton Kellogg. Lakewood managed six singles and a pair of doubles off of Bailey, who also walked two in the final. The Vikings though left ten run­ ners stranded on base and struck out five times against the Trojans’ ace. ' Gerou led the Trojan offense, going 7-7 on the day with six singles and a tworun home run in the top of the seventh inning against Lakewood that plated her team’s final two runs. She I O <£> O I waited on a change-up and pounded it over the left centerfield fence for her first home run of the season. “We really just came together because we were all nervous, but we really want­ ed to beat Lakewood,” Gerou said. “When we’ve played them in the past we haven't been able to (beat them), or we’ve been close and then we fell behind, but today we came back. “Everybody just wanted to win, the first tournament of the year. Everybody wanted to come out and say ‘we can do this.’ It’s been a while since we won (the Hastings Invitational). They didn’t have the tournament last year for varsity teams, and that made us want it even more.” The Trojans jumped on the Vikings right away. Kempema and Kristen Bailey knocked back-toback doubles to right center­ field to start the champi­ onship, with Kempema scor­ ing on Bailey's blast. Bailey would come home on an infield single by Gerou. TK led 2-0 until the bot- “We didn’t make adjust­ ments in the box to get the hits that we needed. Our bats really just went silent. “We continued to pop the ball up, and batter after bat­ ter kind of did the same thing. Their girl was not throwing hard, but with a littie different spin and we continued to get underneath it.” Lakewood topped the host Saxons 15-0 in four innings in the first game of the day. Kennedy Geiger no-hit the Saxons through the fourinning contest, striking out five. Lakewood pounded 15 hits, scoring ten earned runs off of Saxon starter Emily Hayes. Lakewood leadoff hitter Olivia Barker was 4-4, with a triple, and scored four runs, while driving in one. Taylor VantLand and Laura and Walkington both blasted home runs for the Vikings. VantLand was 2-4 with four RBI. Walkington had three RBI. Barton had a double, a sin- tom of the fourth, when Lakewood’s Bryonna Barton led off with a double, then came home on a two-out double by Megan Salazar. Hamilton took the loss pitching for Lakewood. Seven of the nine runs off her were earned. TK had nine hits and one walk of Hamilton. She. struck out four. • Five singles and a hit bat­ ter helped TK score five runs in the top of the sixth to take control of the game. Three runs came home on a twoout, bases-loaded single by Jade Hilton that rolled past the Viking centerfielder to the fence. Kempema and Kim Webster also had RBI hits in the inning. Konnor Geiger and Salazar had two hits each to lead the Lakewood attack. “We just really didn't hit the ball. Our bats never came alive, I think if we would have got some offense goihg early in the game I think that defensively we probably would have been a little bit tougher too,” said Lakewood head coach Kristen Heinze.

We’ve got to be more consistent. The Trojan offense was solid in its opener too. Gerou had her three singles, and was one of ten different Trojans to score a run. Paige Lajcak had a pair of doubles teammates and joined Sabriah Bailey, Gerou, Postma, and Kim Webster in scoring twice each. Lindsay Thomas had a single and a walk and scored three runs.

M-43 Highway, Hastings, Ml 49058 139th year Thornapple Kellogg Class of 2014 names Top 10 students Hannah Bashore Bryn Beyer Ruben French Two area school districts hope to move ahead on May 6 ballot I bo owt I1 fW I to (odl r no ileib TOfll 1 z>rio2 >2 aqqs > II iw ,d2 K If i EV.O I olds tuj ad Though it's not a crowd­ ed ballot, bond requests in two area school districts will carry all the importance of a major election when they are presented to voters on Tuesday, May 6. The Thornapple Kellogg district is asking for increased bond millage funding while the Caledonia school district is asking vot­ ers to extend an existing bond debt. School district issues are the only ballot proposals appearing on the Special May election. The Aug. 5 Primary Election and the General Election on Nov. 4 will draw significantly more candidates and proposals. Kellogg Thornapple school district voters are being asked for approval of a $6,055 million bond. If approved, it will add about 0.73 mills per $ 1,000 of tax­ able property value for up to 11 years. Funds from the bond will be used to improve school security, update and add technology at all schools, provide for replacement of eight buses, improve energy savings with improved controls, computerized replace leaky windows and make several site improve­ ments including sidewalk repairs, bus and traffic lane repavings, and replacing portions of the high school roof. There would also be some improvements made to the athletic facilities including replacing the run­ ning track and the synthetic turf field, adding a new press box and replacing three scoreboards. The estimated millage to be levied for the proposed bonds is 0.73 mills or 73 cents on every $1,000 of taxable value. A homeown homeown-­ er with a taxable value of $50,000 will pay approximately $36.50 more per year if the bond is approved, The taxable value is half of the approximate home mar­ ket value, If the bond is approved, school administrators say design and engineering drawings will begin immediately with plans and specifications going out for bid in winter of 2014-15. Building and site improvements would be implement­ ed between the spring of 2015 and fall of 2015. The new bond may be outstanding for up to 11 years. In Caledonia, school leaders are asking voters to extend the district’s existing 7-mill debt for another eight years, freeing up funds to build a new freshman center building, to add on to and to remodel and re-equip existing school buildings, primarily for instructional tech­ nology and for safety measures. Plans also include development and improving athletic fields, facilities, and playgrounds. Approval of the bond issue will allow the district to borrow $41 million of which $28 million is expected to be directed to the new freshman facility. Its construction will allow expansion from the original high school building's 600student capacity to 1,250 students. The remaining $13 million will be devoted to the other projects, includ­ ing $2.6 million for the instructional technology upgrade and $1.1 million to upgrade access to Caledonia High School. Taxpayers will see no change in tax levy if the issue is approved. Taylor Miller Thomapple Kellogg High School’s class of 2014 will graduate at 7 p.m., May 22. Weather permitting, the cere­ mony will take place in Bob White Stadium. If there is inclement weather, the cere­ mony will be moved indoors to the gymnasium. Class President David Walter III will be the student speaker and high school his­ tory teacher George Dudik was elected by the class to present his remarks to the seniors.

The department was invited to a training ses­ sion by Power while the hotel was being built. “We knew the building and where things were,” said Boulter. “It made it much easier to find the tire in the laundry room and to get the hotel guests out and account­ ed for.” . Boulter did not term the fire a major event, though it did require extensive assistance. “It was a minor fire, an electrical fire," described Boulter. “I don't know what the heat source was. We were on the scene from 1:30 to 4 a.m. We had mutual aid from Thornapple, Wayland, and Hastings. A later conversation with Bay Pointe Inn owner Mike Powers confirmed the value in the emergency training session conducted while the building was being con- strutted. “It was fascinating to watch as they even carried out bodies,” said Powers of the mock-emergency event. “You don’t want anything bad to happen but you have to be prepared.” Praising the Orangeville Fire Department, he added “1 could not be prouder of Elizabeth Rogers Erin Scheidel Shelbi Shepherd David Walter III Zachary Vanderstelt Jessica Ziccarello School teacher assistant.

She added the hotel was full with approximately half the guests being from a wedding that had occurred earlier in the evening. Subsequent phone calls have come from people who have planned weddings at the hotel later in the summer and Freriks was able to say that there were no cancellations. In fact, a wedding is scheduled for next Tuesday, There was no damage to the restaurant and meeting areas. Existing damage is quickly being addressed, said Powers. “Modernistic is still doing some clean-up ” clean-up, said Powers. “There is some damage to some of the siding and the stone fascia and it has to be replaced. Some carpeting has to be replaced and some repainting needs to be done, The insurance adjusters have given us the go-ahead to get everything done as fast as possible. “We’ve even gotten calls from guests who were here when the fire occurred,” Powers concluded, “saying how well our staff and the fire department handled it. You don’t expect that. I am just so appreciative of the efforts of the departments and our staff.” GET ALL THE NEWS OF BARRY COUNTY! by Julie Makarewicz Staff Writer Funding for clean water, medicine and hospitals is appreciated in the Dominican Republic, but Moises Sifren Juan from the Dominican Republic told Middleville Rotarians people visiting the country and mak­ ing human connections is even more vital. “Human beings are impor­ tant,” Juan told local Rotarians on Tuesday. “When people are so poor they think even God forget about them. They think no one cares. When people come, they realize they are still human beings. You bring more than water and medicine. You bring hope.” Juan, president of his the Rotary club in Dominican Republic and chairman of the international relations committee, spoke to the Middleville Rotarians Tuesday afternoon. Rotary International has made pro­ viding safe drinking water an international project, realiz­ ing that millions of people don’t have access to safe drinking water. Juan told ‘ the local Rotarians he is so thankful for bio-sand water filters from the Rotary groups and for their service to helping in areas like the Dominican Republic. “We are inviting you to come to the Dominican Republic and see the people you are helping every day,” he said. “People there need to feel love of other human beings.” * Juan told the Rotarians he knows first-hand the strug­ gles of the Haitian and Dominican Republic people. He was bom in 1969 in the Dominican Republic but both his parents were Haitian.

When Juan was about 7 years old, he and his family moved to the city of La Romana. He and his four brothers and sisters slept in one room on the floor. His first job after moving to the city was as a shoe shine boy. When he was 16 years old, his mother became pregnant with her 10th child. She developed pre-eclampsia an(j was taken to the local hospital. But doctors there were on strike and she died on her way to another hospitai. A C-section was per­ formed and the child named Milagros (meaning Miracle) was saved.

In 1997, Rev. Jean Luc chose Juan to be the hospital administrator at Foundation Hospital El Buen Samaritano in La Romana. Juan had gone to college and graduated with a degree in computer programming. After Rev. Jean Luc died in a plane crash in 2012, Juan continued to expand the capabilities of the hospital as well as its reputation as a first-rate facility. He reno­ vated the first floor, added a CT scanner, modernized the dialysis department and added state of the art sono­ gram equipment. With help from numerous mission teams from the United States, he said the hospital has continued to grow. On November 25, 2005 there was a dedication for the opening of the second floor. In May 2010 the new emergency department was dedicated. The hospital also became a Bio-Sand filter dis­ tribution center for the east­ ern side of the Dominican Republic in November of 2010. In addition to his responsi­ bilities at the hospital, Juan solicits and coordinates the teams and volunteers who come to help in the mission work of the hospital. He said about 95 different groups visit every year including more than 2,500 Americans. He was inspired by Rotary’s efforts to provide clean water and decided to become a Rotarian himself. On July 5, 2013 Moises became President of the Rio Dulce Rotary Club and start­ ing this year he will serve as chairman of the international relations committee.

Originally the anchor store of Sam’s Landing, the store has ** been a fixture for over 60 A, ' years. A family-run operation under the Bravatas, Judy and Don Fein, Ron and Sandy $ Si hi Knoll, and now the Knolls' daughter, Lori, and husband, PR Ken, the store served multiple generations of summer folk, boaters and residents. Orangeville native, Linda Boyce, an avid coffee drinker who always stopped at the store for her morning coffee as u she headed into work, told the Hastings Banner, how deep the business’ roots are in the community. "I remember when my 6 brothers used to deliver groceries for the store,” recalled Boyce. “My brother, Alex, still goes there for coffee. too." The demise of individually owned marinas where boaters could pull up to a dock and Ii buy gasoline made The Store at the South Shore the only place where a boater did not need a car to buy gas for the I >r boat. Not only are boaters affected by the closing announcement, Orangeville is . now left with just one gas station and convenience store at — mu Ba the Four Comers. Among the goods carried by The Store at the South •*•f Shore was a wide selection of iTI\ w w tr i beverages of all types. Sandy Knoll said that she had heard from a neighbor who was told that everything was being sold at 50 percent off. That is not the case, especially when it comes to alcoholic beverages. "State rules require the vendors to come pick up everything," explained Knoll, Indeed, the shelves had pronounced bare spots; early this week as some cof the higher-priced beverages had til been collected by distributors. Ron Knolls commented on • factors leading to the decision to close the landmark store. ill "The last three or four years have been difficult,” jj! puiiiicu icupiv pointed UUl out lYlluud. Knolls. “People aren’t buying so much gas for r* their boats. I'm not running 4 mine as much as I used to.” Sandy Knolls cited competition from a chain store located a little over a mile from them. <t( 4 X ar SOU F cWc j. •> 1 A foil I • :’ i I ’ 1^ • vr ■ n a *w * • n \0l« ’1| t Li> A Ii "They started selling ciga­ rettes for less than we could buy them," she said. "People will drive 10 miles to save a dime." Competition from another large chain store located in Hastings also hurt their business. Perhaps for the Knolls, a very large factor has been the lack of local off-season support, According to Ron Knolls, another factor has been the conversion over the years of summer homes to permanent year-round residences. In his view, year-round residents have a different view of the importance of tourism to the area economy, The Gun Lake Protective Association, a private association of persons who generally own property on the lake, acts as an advocacy group for its members and their interests. Knoll said he and his wife argued against a proposal to use some GLPA funds to pay for additional patrols by the Marine Division of the Barry County Sheriffs Department on the lake. The GLPA also has played a role in limiting the number of boats and other watercraft that can be docked at any one residence. Again, Knoll says people came into his store, reporting feeling harassed while on the lake, and saying, "We don't have to put up with this. We can go elsewhere." Another factor was the clo­ sure of Orangeville Island and the enforcement of riparian or bottom rights, a development that halted trespass­ ing on the island and also led to banning the use of sandy areas in shallow water. It is not legally possible to enforce laws against trespass on the island without also enforcing riparian rights. Orangeville Township Supervisor Tom Rook, a life­ long resident, said he felt a personal loss. ”1 am sorry to see them close,” observed Rook. “We will miss the store and Ron and Sandy and their family. A seasonal business is tough because you don’t have a II year-round clientele. While the tenure of single­ family ownership and operation may be over, temporarily, Rook is confident someunc win avtjuiie uiv property, piopeii^y, one will acquire the if only for its liquor license. According to Rook, several. conversations are occurring as people consider options for acquiring the property.

I-A . • ** Caledonia United Methodist Church has pro­ vided space for a community garden that will benefit the entire community. The Caledonia Community Garden, located at 8754 Kraft Ave., (just north of the schools), con­ sists of vegetables, many herbs and fragrant flowers. Produce from the garden is available to anyone in the community. ' There are several ways to become involved. The first is to adopt a crop, providing the planting, weeding, watering and maintenance for that crop for the season. Another way to help is to sponsor a box. Adopt-a-crop volunteers will plant and maintain the sponsored box. With naming rights for the raised bed, participants may use this opportunity to pay tribute to someone who has, or had, a passion for garden­ ing with a placard affixed to the raised bed for a $50 donation. Another option is to plant and maintain a 15-by-15-foot garden plot. There are limit­ ed plots available and partic­ ipants should remember this is a public garden so produce can be shared. Planters in these plots should bring their own seeds. , There is also always need for general help to water and weed The planting date is set for May 17. Volunteers should bring tools, but seeds, waler and plants will be provided, Call the church office, 616-891-8669. for informa­ tion or visit the garden web­ site at www.caledoniacommunitygarden.org.

The event was the second part of a two-phased learning experience begun earlier in April with a Math Night focused on grades two to three while the Science Night was aimed at grades three to five. Sixteen stations% were set up around the school. Basic concepts in physics, such as tension, force, volume, den­ sity, mass, and weight, were explored. The biological sci­ ences were not ignored as the composition of minerals and the relationships between species and environments also received attention. The role of experimenta­ tion and different results achieved by doing the same thing somewhat differently was driven home at Station 2, which required students to build a barge from tin foil and then load it with pennies until it sank in the water. The grand winner achieved a load of 232 pennies in a large r 1 * .A 4 • | ♦j r j' । &J z ♦I J* ■ I • J Mr fJ Of I J .

Third grader Mason Morgan works with third grade teacher Mary Krueger at Station 6 using a balance scale to measure th© mass of common objects, barge; others achieved lesser amounts in smaller barges while some sank quickly and were encouraged to try again. At Station 14 a catapult, spelled “cat-a-pult” for the purpose of the lesson, demonstrated the use of force and tension to achieve a trajectory permitting the object being thrown to hit the target. Chris Smith, math paraprofessional, was assist­ ing Sasha Grimes with the problem. Successive adjust­ ments to the force used led to success on the third try when the yellow ball hit the target. Station 15 showed that the size or volume of an object is not necessarily related to its weight. Using a series of boxes of different sizes and a balance scale, students were able to discover that a large box might weigh less than a smaller container. Again the lesson is that observation alone is not always a reliable guide to weight. • Rick and Pam Williams, with their children, Lucas, age 10, and Leah, age 8, experimented with paper rockets at Station 16, using a little air compressed achieved by driving a piston Mindy Dyke, program coordinator, works with fifth rapidly up the rocket.

Furthermore, as famed Supreme Supreme Court i Justice Oliver Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., said: “Taxes are what we pay for civilized society.” When you pay taxes, you help fund public | education, the police, the fire department, food inspection, college scholarships and , many other elements of socij ety. Nonetheless, you may | want to use the concept of l‘ Tax Freedom Day to find | ways to reduce the taxes I associated with your investI ments. | Here are some suggesI tions: ‘ • Boost your 401 (k) contriI buttons. Your 40 l(k) contriI butions are typically made •i Ml 'V with pre-tax dollars, so the more more you you put put in, in, the the lower lower your taxable income. (Some employers allow a “Roth" option, under which you can make make post-tax post-tax contributions.) In 2014, you can put in up to $17,500 to a 401 (k) or similar plan, such as a 403(b) or 457(b), and if you are 50 or older, you can con­ tribute an additional $5,500. • Fully fund your IRA. No matter which type of IRA you have — traditional or Roth — you will gain some valuable tax benefits. With a Roth IRA, your contributions are not deductible, but your earnings can grow tax free, provided you don't start tak­ ing withdrawals until you are 59-1/2 and you’ve had your IRA for at least five years. If you own a traditional IRA, your earnings can grow tax­ deferred, and your contributions may be deductible, depending on your income level. So, similar to a 401(k), the more you put in to your traditional IRA, the lower your taxable income may be. In 2014, you can contribute up to $5,500 to an IRA, or $6,500 if you are 50 or older. • Contribute to a college savings plan. Many college savings plans offer some type of tax advantage. For 41 w* Or A Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Center mi art®». r. -< I "'itewdmrtltlii I ✓ ■4 ■? example, if you contribute to a 529 plan, your earnings can grov^ tax free, provided all withdrawals are only used to help pay qualified higher education expenses. (529 plan distributions not used for qualified expenses may be subject to federal and state income tax and a 10% IRS penalty.) Furthermore, your 529 plan contributions may be deductible from your state taxes. ' _ • Avoid excessive buying and selling. If you are constantly buying and selling investments, you may find it “taxing,” because short-term gains (gains on assets owned for less than one year) will be taxed at your ordinary income tax rate, which could be as high as 39.6% (and you may also be subject to a 3.8% Medicare surtax). However, if you hold your investments longer than a year before selling them, you'll pay the more favor­ able long-term capital gains rate, which will likely be 15% or 20%, depending on your income, though you might still be assessed the Medicare surtax. Tax Freedom Day is here, and then it’s gone. But by taking the steps described above, you may be able to brighten 'your tax picture for years to come.

With funds still being collected, the walk is expected to raise more than $19,000. “The planning team is deeply grateful for the partic­ ipation and support,” said Kinsey. The Bowne Center Mennonite Youth Group, new to the walk, raised funds by doing service projects and turning the earnings into sup­ port for hungry people. As with each walk, the Community Lakewood Council will receive 25 per­ cent of the money raised to provide food, clothes, shoes and heating fuel to Lakewood area residents in need.

Local Citizens Speak Out On Issues May 6 school vote deserves approval To the editor: As members of the Parents for TK Schools advocacy group, we are asking voters in the Thomapple Kellogg School district to vote ‘yes’ for the bond issue appearing on the May 6 ballot. This bond will improve security, invest in technology, and maintain • past investments made by the community. Over the past decade. decreased funding from the state has impacted every single school district across the state of Michigan. TK has done a remarkable job of sheltering the students' needs from these cuts, up to now. School maintenance budgets, however, have been drastically cut to help minimize effects felt in the class­ rooms. Many of the items in this bond, such as fixing leaky roofs and windows, replacin •J antiquated and high mileage buses. buses, must be addressed. Passing this bond wiH help make sure the money does not come out of the classroom to get it done. This bond will provide funds to invest in technology throughout the school svstem ; * so that every single child will have the opportunity to leam on various devices. The tech­ nology dollars will allow our students and teachers to remain competitive in the technology-driven society in which we live. The safety of our children is one of the most important issues to us as parents. The money from this bond will improve security at our chil­ dren's schools by buildin: vestibules at the entrances to better control who enters the buildings. A device, called “‘The Boot", will be Boot ", installed in every7 classroom door helping to provide safety in the event of an intruder for our children and teachers. If your home is valued at $100,000, the cost to the home owner for this bond is approximately $36.50 per year. We would gladly pay <U»‘ $36.50 for just the security However, for upgrades. $36.50. <our children get $36.50, security enhancements and much more! The schools of the TK dis­ trict are the heart of our com­ munity. They are our schools. We own them. We take pride in them. Just homes. like our homes, we must invest to maintain our schools. Having 108 leaks in the roof of the high school is not a point of pride. Having bathrooms that are not hand­ icap accessible is not a point of pride. Having windows that are so rotted out that you can make a snowman with the snow that collects on the window ledge inside the classroom is not a point of pride. Please invest in the TK district and its rich history of pride, class, and tradition, with a ‘yes' vote on May 6.

" ' This week, many special events; are planned to mark the occasion. The single largest event the is Patriot Golf Toumament on Sunday; May 4, which will benefit the Folds of Honor, a foundation dedicated to providing schol­ arship aid for higher educa­ tion to members of the fami­ lies of fallen or disabled vet­ erans. Also scheduled on Saturday, May 3, is a putting competition, which will also support military families. During the remainder of the week from May 5 to 8, there will be daily two-per­ son golf specials. Reservations are required. Eamar Howard, market­ ing and communications director, said the club began with the nine-hole Red course in 1964. Other ninehole courses followed in 1967 and 1972, culminating in the world-class Scottishlinks style Gold Course in 1992. The roughs on the Gold Course are similar to those of the famous St. Andrew's course in Scotland where the height of the roughs approaches one's waist. "In the summer ours reaches those heights,” con­ firmed Howard. “You certainly don't want to have your ball land in them." • Other club facilities followed. A new and considerably expanded club house opened in 1982 and an additional banquet facility, as well a full service restaurant and bar, have been added. Responding to a query about the original club house, 11 Howadrd said, "It is now used mostly for storage." The addition of a pro golf shop made the club a complete facility, Spanning an age when all of the country and even parts of Michigan had not yet achieved universal automatic dialing service and telephone exchanges commemorating local names still existed, the club has responded to the newer technologies with a website, online shopping and services. "Golf is a very competi­ tive business," commented Howard. "We are one of, if not the oldest course still owned by its original own­ ers. • »j* 1 GET MORE NEWS! ' Ml Subscribe to the Hastings Banner.

Fighting Scot midfielder Rubina Veerakone slotted a great ball inside the box to teammate Alena Olsen four minutes into the second half. Olsen fired a one touch across the goal that team­ mate Ashley Postma tapped it in at the far post to break a 1-1 tie early in the second half. Caledonia added some insurance on a comer kick with just over five minutes to play in the game. Shelby VanLaar struck a corner kick, which Postma collected in the middle of the offensive zone. Postma sent a pass to Caledonia senior midfielder Alena Olsen fights for possession with East Grand Abby Munger on the left side of the Pioneer net, and Rapids’ Maggie Persons in the Scots’ defensive end during Wednesday’s OK White Munger one-touched it back Conference contest.

Kelly Wolf said she had a conflict of interest on two agenda items because she is an employee of the consult­ ing firm working on the proj­ ect and she is involved with the project. The first agenda item is the required public hearing on an amendment to the Foremost Planned Unit Development in the Kraft Lake office park. The second item is the second or final reading for passage of an ordinance amending the PUD. Wolf explained that she is an employee of Nederveld, Inc., a firm that provides planning and engineering Davenport services to ' University. Upon receiving Wolf’s negative response to whether her income would be affected by approval of "You want 43 acres and are bringing us 8-10 acres of planning. I have been treasurer for 14 years; we were told this would be a commuter school. Vision changed when the field house was built. We are the last to hear. You are taking prime property from the tax base. The university is a treasure but you are adding to the demands on the township for services." Treasurer Richard Robertson the project, Township Supervisor Brian Harrison noted that her planning experience and the lack of a direct benefit to her did not require her to recuse herself. Treasurer Richard Robertson, however, disagreed. "It would create the appearance of a possible bias for Kelly,” said Robertson. “I think she should recuse herself." . Trustee Trustee Dale Dale Hermenet Hermenet supported supported Robertson Robertson as as did did Township Clerk Jennifer Christian. On a roll-call vote, five trustees voted that Wolf should recuse herself from the discussion. Harrison, changing his mind to join his colleagues, made the final vote, 6-0. Trustee Donald Koopmans was absent. Wolf left the dais. The PUD amendment had reached the board with a rec­ ommendation for approval the Caledonia from Township Planning Commission, The land involved is 45.28 acres Davenport is purchasing from Foremost, now Farmers insurance. According to the plan accepted by the commission, 28 acres would be used for athletic facilities including a football stadium. How the remaining acres would be used is not part of the current discussion.

Hermenet, who has assumed responsibility for the Parks and Recreation Committee and for Trails, said he has had the most exposure to Davenport's plans because of the township's desire to have the uni­ versity connected to trails and parks, but his board colleagues have not had that experience. He also noted that Davenport's existin a facilities are drawing more people and a residence hall is undergoing expansion, Christian said she wants to see the master plan before she votes on the amendment. "Tonight is our last opportunity to have a say," Robertson cautioned. "The options are to approve, dis­ approve, or table until our next meeting. I move to table the PUD rezoning until our nest meeting." The motion was approved 5-0. ♦ c I I » V I k I1 tfJ TK voters approve million bond 4 Pie? Market I by Julie Makarewicz I J i»sw i ata' IX (jfuiiktafr gr ' ir 59 a t J® * Staff Writer Voters in the Thomapple Kellogg School District approved a $6 million bond on Tuesday that will be used to improve security, update and add technology, replace buses, improve energy sav­ ings and make other building and site improvements. “I’m just so grateful to the community that stepped up again in support of our kids,” said Superintendent Tom Enslen. “Thank goodness we live in such a supportive community.” Unofficial vote totals reported by the Barry County Clerk’s office recorded the vote at 1,012 positive to 822 in the negative. Voters in all but two of 11 voting precincts approved the meas­ Thornapple ure. In Township’s Precinct Two, the measure lost by 14 of the 286 votes cast. Leighton Township disapproved by a 21-20 count.

Enslen said he and the board board members members will will take take aa day day or or two two toto ““enjoy enjoy the the moment” and appreciate the community communitysupport, support,and andthen then workwill willbegin begintotodesign designthe the work projects, create bid proposals and then eventually go out for bids. Most of the actual construction work won’t take place until summer, although Enslen said a few things like repaving some parking lot areas and sidewalk fixes can be done sooner. Bond monies'will be spent at every building in the dis­ trict. The bond will help the dis­ trict improve security at the middle school and elemen­ tary schools, creating entrances where visitors are forced to enter through the office before entering the main areas of the building. There will also be some new security measures within all classrooms where door secu­ rity hardware will be added to every classroom door for ease in locking from the inside in case ot an emer­ gency. More security cam­ eras are also planned as part of the security upgrades. Estimated cost of security improvements is $857,000. Technology gets another big piece of the funding at $L7 million. The needs there include replacing old student devices to support curriculum needs, updating aging instructional equip­ ment and infrastructure upgrades throughout the dis­ trict. Energy and infrastructure upgrades and improvements will also get $1.7 million. Those projects include replacing leaky windows at Page, repairing a portion of the high school roof that is leaking, replacing inefficient mechanical controls with controls computerized controls throughout the district for increased energy savings. Athletic improvements are also planned at an estimated cost of $1.15 million. The work will include replacing the high school track, syn­ thetic turf, and long jump pit and high jump areas. It also includes replacing the press box that also has a leaky roof and three scoreboards. Transportation will also get $644,000 over the next five years. That will pay for eight new buses for the fleet, Thornapple Kellogg Schools were among many Kent Intermediate School districts where bonds were approved including a bond request in Caledonia.

Department of Public Works director Duane Weeks presented his report to the committee of the whole Wednesday, estimat­ ing a need for $90,214 for the road repairs. Major streets on the rec­ ommendation list include East Main Street from H L Manufacturing to just west of the village limit. The project would include a partial mill and complete resur­ face of the road. • . Another major street proj­ ect would be Grand Rapids Street in certain problem areas. Local roads making the list for repairs this year include Edward Street from * • - k M-37 to Charles Street, Bernard from Acadia to the dead end, Charles Street from Sherman to Bernard, Stadium from Main Street to the dead end, Greenwood from Stadium to Bender, Whipporwill from Greenwood to the dead end, Cardinal from Greenwood to the dead end, Greenwood from Greenwood to the dead end, and Minstehr from Main to Lloyd. If additional funds are available, the village will add Lloyd from Minstehr to the dead end, Hunters Trail off State Road, and State Road slag seal for about 300 feet. Weeks said he would like to see the village get to the point of being able to do pre­ ventative maintenance on roads before they get to the conditions some of them are in now. He said being able to do that kind of prevention is much less costly than the total repairs required once the road fails. The village council will vote on the road proposals at its May 13 meeting. The council also heard a report about the upcoming Main Street bridge replace­ ment project. It will consider a proposal by Williams and Works for design and con­ struction engineering servic­ es for the project. In November 2012, the village was told the Main Street bridge was selected for replacement through the Michigan Department of Transportation local bridge program. The project is expected to be done in 2015, but engineering work needs to start now so the village is ready to get bids by the end of this year or very early in 2015 so that construction can begin as early a possible in Tthe spring of 2015. The bridge will be built half at a time, keeping one lane open for traffic in and out of the downtown area, The council will also con­ sider action at their May 13 meeting on this matter, In other issues at the COW meeting: • Council discussed the debt and readiness to serve fees that are applied to second water meters. A village resident recently questioned why those fees were assessed on both water meters if property owners have more than one water meter. Village manager Rebecca Fleury said there is a cost for every meter on the system and the readiness to serve cost means the water meter is \ .* * ready, whether it’s used or not. The debt service fee also is applied to every meter, Fleury said the village has 95 second meters. If debt and readiness were removed from those bills , the lost rev­ enue would be more than $13,000 per year. The village would then _______ have to ________ increase fees for all users to make up those lost funds, Council member Joyce Lutz suggested removing the debt fee service from the second meters and spreading the cost among all users by increasing the debt fee for all. But other council mem­ bers disagreed and said peo­ ple who want a second meter should be willing to pay for that second meter. “It’s your choice whether you want a second meter or not. No one is forcing you to have one. If you want one, you ought to be willing to pay for it,” said council president Charlie Pullen. Pullen, Council member Ed Schellinger agreed saying he has had a second meter for 35 years. “I appreciate the fact that I can turn on the water when I want to use it. I, wouldn’t want to increase anyone else’s bill just because I have a second meter,” he said. Council member Phil VanNoord suggested making sure people understand the costs of a second meter by providing more information to them. • The village council heard reports about the Michigan Department of Natural Resources Trust Fund grant for the Riverfront 't TOP 10, continued from page 1------------- Honor Society, marching has played basketball for year.

D E LTA VACATIONS WALT DISNEY WORLD RESORT® SAVE UP TO 35% A few days ago, we observed May Day, a celebration of spring. And, after ’ * l a “l°nS an<^“ 'hard‘ winter in many parts of the country, most of us are ready for sunshine, warmer temperatures and the hopefulness that spring always symbolizes, But as winter gives way to spring, we are also reminded ^at * our lives have “seasons,“” to° an^ it pays to be pre­ pared for all of them. So, as you move into the “retirement season,” you’ll need to prepare for several possible challenges, including the following: • your resources Outliving — The idea of outliving one’s financial resources is certainly not one we want to face. In fact, in a poll of peoP^e a£es 44 to 75 sponsored by Allianz Life Insurance, 61% said they fear depleting their assets more than they ^ear dying. The best way you can overcome anxiety about running out of money is to invest and plan. Contribute as much as you can afford to your IRA and 401 (k) or other employer-sponsored retire­ ment plan — and when your salary goes up over time, increase your contributions. As for the “plan” part, try to envision the type of lifestyle you want during retirement, and then estimate how much this lifestyle will cost. Once you reach retirement, you will also need to do some planning — specifically, you will need to calculate how much money you can afford to withdraw from your investments each year. Becoming disabled One-third of all people between the ages of 30 and 64 will become disabled at some point, according to the Health Insurance Association of America. If you became disabled, even temporarily, the loss of income could prove .devastating to your financial security, and that of your fami­ ly’s. To avoid this worrisome scenario, you may want to consider disability insurance. If your employer offers this coverage as an employee benefit, take take itit — — but benefit, but don don’t’t assume itit will will be sufficient. assume sufficient, '' • ’ Many times, an employer ­ sponsored disability policy will only cover a short-term disability and may have a long waiting period for benebene­ fits to kick in. Consequently you may need to purchase your own disability insurance policy to supplement your employer’s coverage. Requiring long-term care — Unfortunately, many people eventually require some type of long-term care, whether that involves a stay in a nursing home or the assistance of a home health care aid. This type of care is expensive, and Medicare only covers part of it. Just how costly is • long-term care? The national average for home health aide services is nearly $45,000 per year, and a private room in a nurs­ ing home is nearly $84,000 per year, according to a recent survey by Genworth, a financial security company. To meet long-term care costs, you could self-insure, but that might be prohibitive- ly expensive. But failing to do .anything about meeting long-term care costs could result in the need for your grown children or other family members to get involved in some fashion — and that is something you no doubt wish to avoid. Fortunately, you can "find’ solutions. To 1 * m leam about appropriate pro­ tection vehicles, consult with your financial advisor. With some thoughtful planning, constant vigilance and timely action, you can meet all these challenges — and enjoy all the seasons of life in which you find yourself.

Middleton talked with the board regarding a proposed expansion of the current MTD facility. “Indeed, the expansion would double the size of our current facility,” observed Middleton. “I am here tonight to request support from the township and its board, not in looking for monetary support, but just opening lines of communication with each entity that might be impacted by the expansion.” Middleton is currently working through a site plan review process on the pro­ posed expansion and remarked that a variety of financial funding opportuni­ ties would be investigated to assist the company in achieving its vision for growth, including grants and possible debt financing issues. “In 1997, we had 60 employees and quickly out­ grew our previous location. Today we have 150 employ­ ees and have grown, so much so that we are ‘bursting at the seams,”’ said Middleton. Byrnes added, “We are being forthcoming with the townships that may be impacted, as it is very impor­ tant to cultivate a relation­ ship with each entity.” Byrnes talked about an upcoming economic devel­ opment meeting to be held May 30, at the Pierce Cedar Creek Institute, with guests from the Upjohn Institute, with “invites going out to all township supervisors and leaders, to take advantage of this gathering.” “Our Regional Economic Development Strategy has us looking forward, outward, said Byrnes, “With opportu­ nities to grow in business, tourism, and in residential growth. But we cannot assume that each township feels the same way about the strategy of the county. So we are getting you all together to find out what you envision for your township while hav­ ing the opportunity to learn about investing options for each municipality.” Byrnes continued by not­ ing, as an example, the aggressive efforts of the county to support continued advancement into the future of technology. “Talk about the broadband initiative is gaining momen­ tum in Barry County,” added Byrnes. “The County is focused on growth in the county, as well as, quality of life for its residents. t III 7 •Osh iV" V'" • lb I x* * J % •x# * <5 J _ -■aw ST™ * r— gp* * *4 r - *■ B -• iMC FI < t { . 11 * * * ■:e i/P I< ' ** Ln*1' ' 0 D# * _ * • j K I# ” .0*11 > $ .L 41 Wl X 9^ I i Broadband will connect and support the communications and governmental activities. We are going to address pockets where this opportunity is limited, including lake area residents.” Byrnes availed herself to the township, offering to ‘set up shop’ within the township(s), providingg support and counseling, and entrepreneurial contacts, for potential business owners looking at Yankee Springs as a place to set roots. “There is huge value in supporting the infrastructure and business opportunities available to each township,” said Byrnes, The board thanked each of the guests for their consider­ ation, with respect to the impact by economic expan­ sion(s). Nick Wake, Thomapple Township trustee, and chair of the County Republican Committee, was welcomed by the board to present a donation to the Veteran Memorial Fund implemented by the township in 2013. “On behalf of the Republican Party in Barry County, it is my pleasure to make a donation to the Yankee Springs Veterans Memorial Fund,” said Wake, “We have challenged the Democratic Democratic Committee Committee to to match match this this donation donation and, and, hopefully, this will be the beginning of many opportunities to support this extremely important funding mechanism for our veter­ ans.” Wake presented the check $500 Mike to for committee Cunningham, member for the Veteran's Memorial Fund. “Hopefully, this is the first of many donations,” shared Cunningham. “On May 26, Memorial Day, we hope to have our first annual get together, at the Veterans Memorial site at 5 p.m. and we are asking anyone who is available to donate or volun­ teer.” County Commissioner, Craig Stolsonburg, rumored to be considering entering the Slam Dunk Contest to be held during the Gus Macker tournament in June, present­ ed his commissioner report to the township board. “Our Strategic Plan will be unveiled at the last board of commissioner meeting this month. One of the priorities coming out of this plan, as Ms. Byrnes described, is the implementation of coun­ ty-wide high speed Internet,” said Stolsonburg. Stolsonburg continued, sharing the date for the Meals-On-Wheels Walk-athon scheduled for May 17. The Walk will take partici­ pants throughout the city. According to Stolsonburg, approximately, 2500 individ­ uals participated in some capacity during last year’s walk, Also noted by Stolsonburg is the upcomin &a Charlton Park Day, planned for May 24, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. “This is a free day so come out, enjoy hot dogs, slushies, (4 41 I Ate * tei • » *g~ «te a. a. *• A • 4h» ♦ < 4 •• *9 *• and tour the park.

The Bradley Indian Mission is the historic residential and cultural center of the tribal community, said James Nye, a spokesman for the tribe The mission has had hous­ ing, a church and a cemetery , and at times a thriving Indian pastorate. Throughout time, the church bell was a means of communication; when it was rung, area residents would follow' trails to the church to learn of news, said Nye. The tribe’s relationship with the church played a critical role in its ability to gain federal recognition by the United States in 1999. the tribe's namesake, Chief Match-E-Be-Nash- She-Wish, signed treaties with the United States govemment dating back to 1795. Under terms of various treaties, the tribe was prom­ ised reserved lands for exclu­ sive use and permanent set­ tlement. More treaties followed, however, and the Chief agreed to cede land in .present-day Kalamazoo to the federal government. Neither payment nor land was ever provided to the tribe, said Nye, and instead this began a migration north in an effort to avoid forced removal out West. The tribe found a permanent settle­ ment in Bradley around X % I I 11 I '1 V I J 9 g 9 W/ r 9 V / W9 J / 9 9 9j 91 / r • A 7965 Potters Road, Saranac 616-642-9212 S*’ f 4 I II II I 9 I [I ' • If 9 J 9 J F Saturday, May 17,8 am ‘til 4 pm 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 I l I F ■ @ U STO ED I i B ’IECIATION ' ♦ 1 9 9 * j Many Indoor Specials! r 11 I1 I1 II II I I t \ 1\ %X t X X \ ' \ %X %x %x \%X > I 1 I I I . % L ' \ i X\ *% X ' X 9 xv *% \ \ X * x X 'V $3.50 bag 5-lbs.

Thomapple Kellogg’s var­ sity girts* tennis team fin­ ished off the season of OK Gold Conference matches with a 2-2-1 record as they fell to South Christian 7-1 Monday afternoon at the South Christian Sports Park. The Trojans had a lot of close matches with the Sailors, and won the closest one of all. ft took about three hours for Trojan second sin­ gles player Hannah Bashore to pull out a 3-6, 7-6(6), 7­ 6(6) victory ashore not only had to come back from a set down, she was down 3-0 in the third set before rallying. ‘The girl that (Bashore) played had a back-spin, back­ hand that was really kind of a weapon for her, and (Bashore) really started to read that in the third set and was able to play defense off that shot a little bit. She just outplayed her from there, said TK head coach Larry Seger. Her serves were good, deep and solid. Both players really played a very, very good match.” Carly Noah played a solid match at first singles for TK, losing to one of lhe OK Gold's top players 6-1,6-1. Bethany Budd fell 6-2, 6-4 at third singles and Kari Johnson was downed 6-4, 6­ 4 at number four. “Both those players did a nice job,” Seger said. They're doing a good job of keeping the ball deep now, and keeping the ball on the court longer, and longer and longer. The rallies are longer against better teams now.” TK also got solid matches from the first doubles team of Hayley Bashore and Taylor Miller which was downed 6­ 3,6-3 and the second doubles team of Michele Lindemulder and Maddy VerHey that fell 6-2, 6-2. Seger said that his doubles teams learned a lot about net play from the Sailors. South Christian got a 6-0, 6-2 win over Rachael Ranes and Amber VanMeter at third doubles and a 6-1, 6-1 win over Abby Wright and Katie Hanshaw at fourth doubles. The Trojans will return to South Christian Saturday for the OK Gold Conference Tournament. <>. 5 4 ’7 A V Av ?n ^1 ’ 11$ The Trojans' Rachel Ranes smacks a forehand back at her Sailor opponents dur­ ing her third doubles match Monday at the South Christian Sports Park.

The last conference championship for the Trojan boys came in their final sea­ son in the OK Blue, in the spring of 2003. Senior David Walter, who will continue his running career at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology after graduation, carried the OK Gold Conference championship trophy as his team came down the final stretch towards the finish line on its victory lap. He helped carry the team throughout the day too, win­ ning conference titles with times of 4 minutes 40.33 sec­ onds in the 1600-meter run, 2:01.99 in the 800-meter run and 10:24.44 in the 3200meter run. Walter closed out his day on the track by anchoring the Trojans’ fourth-place 1600meter relay team, which by Brett Bremer Sports Editor The reactions were a bit different, but the results were the same. Thomapple Kellogg’s var­ sity boys’ and girls’ track and field teams earned Gold clinched OK Conference championships by winning Saturday’s conference meet that they hosted in Middleville. The TK girls shared the OK Gold title with South Christian’s girls a year ago, and won back to back titles in 2010 and 2009. They were pleased with winning their fourth conference champi­ onship in the past six years, but were a little stunned at the end of the meet as the Sailor girls handed them their first league loss in the 1600-meter relay.

Designed to Stand Up CH4/VG£S, continued from page 1 The council is forced by the state make some Ihe state to to make some change in order to meet new stale requirements. Without any change, the village risks losing thousands of state dollars. Village Manager Rebecca Fleury said it is part of the state’s reauirements requirements to reduce unfunded accrued liabilities such as pension plans and retiree health benefits, She said changes have already been made to the pension plan giving new employees a lower pension plan than current employees, The retiree health benefit applies to non-union retirees only. “We have the option to take baby steps or giant steps,” said Fleury in describing possible changes. Council member Shannon Haigh said she didn't think it was fair to take something away that’s been promised to employees and their spouses. “They base their livelihood on what we've promised. New employees won’t get it, but the ones we’ve promised should still get it,” said Haigh. The change doesn’t eliminate the retiree health care benefits, only the spousal benefits upon retirement, Council President Charlie Pullen said no one likes the idea of taking away something, but some action has to be taken. “It’s not easy sittin up here making decisions some times,” stated Pullen follow­ ing the meeting. “It was a difficult night for all of us.” Lutz argued that it's simp’y not fair. “When I was growing up one of the most important things I learned from my par­ ents was that you are only as good as what your word is,” maintained Lutz. “Whatever you do, you have to keep your word. You have to keep your commitments. That's the Christian way.” Of the discussion to elimi­ nate a benefit she receives, Lutz was clear. “This is not financial at all. This is just vindictive.” Prior to the discussion about retiree benefits, coun­ cil members talked about purchasing a dump truck for the Department of Public Works. Council member Sue Reyff gave a hint of her feelings about the council spending money on a dump truck when she said she felt the council as a whole was not concerned about employ­ ees. Colleague Phil VanNoord immediately corrected her, saying he’s very concerned about village employees. “But only the ones who work here now, not the retirees,” said Lutz. VanNoord again corrected the remark, saying he supports all the employees and retirees, but that difficult decisions have to be made. The village currently has an unfunded accrued liability for post-employment bene­ fits of $303,000. The state mandates the village come up with a plan or changes to reduce the amount of unfunded accrued liability. Fleury said eliminating the benefits for future retiree spouses will meet the this requirements tms year. Council members said they suspect they’ll be asked to do more in the coming years and that they'll likely have to revisit the issue again, In another benefit-related issue, the council approved a resolution supporting an option for payment of health care benefits for employees. The council approved a reso­ lution supportin' a “hard cap” rule limiting the dollar amounts the village may spend. That option was sup­ ported based on input from village staff and employees. Under the rule, the village cannot pay out more than $57,513 for health plan coverage based on seven full­ time employees eligible for health benefits. The village also approved a new health care plan for employees. This is the first year the village has had to consider health insurance options with the Affordable Care Act in place. The vil­ lage’s current health plan is no longer available, Employees met and reviewed options with the majority agreeing on a plan that most closely matches benefits they have now. The new plan will increase the premium rate by 11.18 per­ cent. The plan has a lower deductible for employees, but will only pay out 80 per­ cent after the deductible is met, rather than 100 percent under the current plan, r 1 ^■4 AU** fits:®1 fcPjttiKS tw 'it a n'iii I s jRildy Council approves sewer rate increase 4 /oysfi^ St. Born to Stand Out Zkro-Turn Lawn Mowbrs Additional Features: Articulating Front Axle and Deck Heavy-Duty Cast Iron Spindles Welded Steel Deck Traditional Dual Lever Steering option for 54 months Financing ___ 1 i____________ _ C—J to qualified buyers For more Information: Maple Valley Implement, Inc. 735 E.

Petitions must be filed with Caledonia Township Clerk Jennifer Christian. Ayers also informed the council that the sponsors of the com­ munity garden were request­ ing some financial support from the village, adding that the village has already donated a quantity of wood chips, Ayers closed her report saying that the Fricano family is continuing to wait for its liquor license to be approved and is hopeful of opening its new restaurant June 2. During the public com­ ment period, Jason Hanson rose to share his concern over the increasing number of temporary signs visible in the village, apparently in vio­ lation of the ordinance which bans them.

Plenty more strong riders will fill the field, including of Henrik sson Nancy the only Middleville woman to complete 5.000 miles in consecutive years and one of the few women to top 400 miles in 24 hours. Last year, the route was adjusted near the start, at the Thomapple Kellogg Middle School, to provide a safer crossing of M-37 at the traf­ fic light in Middleville, but that cut four miles from the first loop, down to 120 miles. This year, those four miles have been restored by adjust­ ing the route to pass through Freeport. Last year’s race was short­ ened by a three hour suspen­ sion for a lightning storm. In spite of the weather, one new record was posted: Nancy Lange of Wyoming and her daughter Laura Melendez of Grand Rapids set a new mother/daughter record with a combined total of 611.1 miles.

Mav 30. and Another school year is drawing to a close. If you have young children, you might be planning for their summer activities. But you also might want to look even farther into the future — to the day when your kids say “goodbye” to their local schools and “hello” to their college dormitories. When that day arrives, will you be financially prepared to pay for the high costs of higher education? Consider this: For the 2013-2014 academic year, the average cost (tuition, fees, room and board) was $18,391 for an in-state stu­ dent at a four-year public college or university, and $40,917 for a private school. according to the College Board. And these costs may ...................... we"^ ‘be considerably higher by the time *ime your children chlldren enter college. e . . , Of course, these are just just the « sticker „ Drices . some the “sticker” prices; some families pay less, thanks to grants and and tax tax benefits, benefits, such such grants as the American Opportunity Tax Credit and the Lifetime Learning Tax Credit. Still, you may encounter some hefty college bills down the road. But college is still a good investment in your child's future. Over an adult's work­ ing life, an individual with a bachelor’s degree can expect to earn, on average, nearly $1 million more than some­ one with only a high school diploma, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. So you’re saving for a good cause. Unfortunately, you may not be saving enough — or you might not be making the most of your savings. To save for college, more par­ ents use a general savings account than any other method, according to Sallie Mae’s How America Saves for College 2014 study, These types of accounts carry two significant draw­ backs: They typically earn tiny returns and they offer no tax advantages. However, you do you have some attractive college-fund­ ing vehicles available, one of which is a 529 plan. Your 529 plan earnings accumulate tax free, provided they are used for qualified higher education expenses. (529 plan distributions not used for qualified expenses may be subject to federal and state income tax and a 10% IRS penalty.) Furthermore, your 529 plan contributions may be deductible from your state taxes. But 529 plans vary, so be sure to check with your tax advisor regard­ mg deductibility. A 529 plan offers other , ~ benefits, too. For one thing, the lifetime contribution lim . the lifetime contribution lim­ its for 529 plans are quite generous; generous; while while these these limits limits vary by state, some plans allow contributions well in This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor. •r KfTCHEN Sale g Au Kmum rrtAts * —- f/2 off .J* Call 269-945-9554 lor Sun & News classified ads excess of $200,000. And a 529 plan is flexible: If your child decides against college or vocational school, you can transfer the unused funds to another family member, tax and penalty free, While a 529 plan is a pop­ ular choice for college sav­ ings, it is not the only option available. You also might want to consider a Coverdell Education Savings Account, which, like a 529 plan, can generate tax-free eamings if the money is used for higher education expenses. You can typically only put in a maxi­ mum of $2,000 per year to a Coverdell account, but it does offer more flexibility in investment choices than a 529 plan, Your children may be young today, but, before you know it, they’ll be packing their bags for college. So, no matter which college savings i k . vehicles you choose, put them to work soon. Sau mds 5/24/14 i. FABULOUS! 1 FINDS ESTATES! We invite you to come find your “new” treasure today! <0 R 121 E.

In Math of Games, stu­ dents use skills and concepts from algebra and geometry to investigate games and game theories. Students must also complete a project where they research and modify a game. Lambitz said Math of Games helps students to not only learn new games, but to also learn the strategies of the games. They use proba­ bility, statistics, problem solving and logic. He said they’ve looked at games like Yahtzee, Farkle and card games like Euchre and Spades. Down the hall in Ritsema’s Math and the FBI class, students collaborated on designing a crime scene as part of their final project. The task involved being able to not only create the crime scene, but then use different strategies to logically solve the crime. "We were thinking about a staged shark attack that someone finds on the beach,” said senior Abby Dougherty working with classmate Jenny Raye, “but then they find out it’s really not a shark attack it just Fl II the crime, to determine the probability of it actually being a shark attack, and looks like one.

For the first time, the two middle schools needed to divide and cto ompete under their own respective chool names. The teams were split by the amount of students riding on the team. Duncan Lake went in the C division while Kraft with a few more riders competed in the B division allowing both teams to have a chance to bring home a championship under separate divisions.

Buckowing said that she is leery of asking again for project money without hav­ ing all the answers to citizen questions. “The last two millage requests have failed due to us not doing the long term plan­ ning," insisted Buckowing. How can we present to the public any millage proposal until we sit down and figure out what our township needs for the next one to five years? How do we, as a board, go to the public confi­ dently?” The point focal of Buckowing’s lament, was the initiative and subsequent proposal developed by the Township Thornapple Emergency Services (TLES) committee to capitalize on the success of TAPP by rec­ ommending a township-wide program to provide the same ambulance coverage for uninsured residents and cov­ erage of co-pays for all resi­ dents within the township, The proposed millage would provide ambulance coverage at zero out-of-pocket cost for residents of Thornapple Township. TTES provides fire-rescue and ambulance transport response for residents of the township through a voted fire millage and through service fees. There are approximately 222 Thornapple residents with TAPP coverage in the town­ ship, purchased through a membership fee of $45. The proposed millage was developed as a way for the township to eliminate the need for collection of co­ pays from residents by the TTES department. “This replaces money written off each year in unpaid ambulance bills and we can recoup our losses,” said Fire Chief Dave Middleton. “Last year’s unpaid bills that were sent for collection exceeded $54,000.” Data presented to the board, stated that a .5 millage would generate approxi- “Give us a chance to ask the public and we feel we will have the support. We will do the due diligence, to push this and get the infor­ mation out to the public. We understand it is not wholly the responsibility of the township board but we are really pas­ sionate about this one. Karen Borrink, TTES emergency medical technician mately $126,000, based on an average property values in Thomapple Township. Township Supervisor Mike Bremer opened the door for Bucko wing’s verbal admonishments by explain­ ing the proposal and the lan­ guage modifications that the township's legal counsel had advised and then asking for comments regarding the changes. This led to several questions arising on the ability of convincing the township residents of the need for it, after just asking the resi­ dents in recent years for money for road repair. Buckowing chalked the road repair millage failures to the lack of a long-term, board-developed plan. Poor planning for this year’s budget, and last year’s, for our black top roads got us to the place we are facing now,” pointed out Buckowing. “We need a clear direction, developed through strategic plannin efforts, to present our con­ cise plan, long term visions, and dedication to talking and discussing the long term financial needs of this township. We must figure out our priorities. “We must do the pre-plan­ ning necessary for our resi­ dents, who need to know what we plan for budgets each year, before they go to the polls when faced with a millage request.” Township Clerk Susan Vlietstra concurred. 44 Full Service Body Shop • Wheel Alignments • Auto Glass Installation .1 There failed to answer.” gested DeMaagd.

I need more information to tell residents when they ask what this is about.” Nick Wake, trustee, chimed in with his perspec­ tive on the August ballot's already-crowded lineup. “It's an interesting con­ cept and I am not against it,” said Wake of the proposed TAPP millage placement. “However, my concern is we have three county millages up in the next election and the timing of this is questionable, especially if we will be looking for a road millage next year, as we have discussed recently.” Buckowing responded with her unequivocal posi­ tion on the issue. “Our questions were not answered,” she began, “I asked for a focus group to be put together to glean the vibe of the residents and ask the tough questions, to field the pros and cons. We didn't get those answers so we cannot vote yes on this, even though I sincerely support the intent of the proposal But, in good conscience to the communi­ ty, we have to first do our due diligence in planning this. Karen Borrink, an TTES emergency medical technician, pleaded for a compromise. “Give us a chance to ask the public and we feel we will have the support,” stated Borrink. “We will do the due diligence, to push this and get the information out to the public. We understand it is not wholly the responsi­ bility of the township board but we are really passionate about this one.” To which Buckowing reit­ erated, “I would feel better if we had had, as a board, plan­ ning meetings to hammer out the details.” Surmising the energy of the discussion and humbling his words to acknowledge the truth in Buckowing's statements, Supervisor Mike Bremer attempted a summa­ tion of the discussion. “I am hearing we have not done our homework to plan for next year’s potential needs,” conceded Bremer. Trustee Ross DeMaagd pushed for perspective based on the board’s mission statement. “It (this millage proposal) is a revenue source,” sug- 44 11 • Insurance Work Welcome *»• • Visa & MasterCard Accepted 44 44 9 Over 30 years experience approval by Rutland Township to allow for us to use right of way easements instead of seeking private owner approval for place­ ment of the towers.” Rutland Charter Township gave the green light to MEI to use the road right -away, through the passage of its essential services resolution at its last township meeting “Because Rutland Township is zoned, that’s what make this possible,” said Graf. “The tallest poles that would have to be put in. would have to be permitted by the county. “ Answering a question from Bremer, Graf explained that a ‘clear line of site' would not be necessary’ for the residents to utilize the equipment; a small square box attached to the home, “This service will not require line of site to perform. The signal will ‘burn through trees and shrubs, but. it will not go through hills. The strength of the signal will depend on the terrain and foliage.” Vlietstra commented that her investigations showed over 130 households wanted the service provided and that there was definitely a market for the service in the town­ ship. The board agreed to pur­ sue further discussion on the possibility of approving the project and right of way approvals for the new base stations to be placed in Thomapple Township along Patterson Road and possibly in parts of Allegan County, as it neighbors the township/ Bremer thanked MEI and Graf for the presentation and promised the board would review its options in facilitate ing the service being available in all areas of the town­ ship. • Vlietstra reported that the election outcome from last week's school bond elec­ tions was the result of 16.5 % of the residents coming out and voting, at least, in the township's two precincts. “We were one of two precincts in the county who voted Caledonia millage down,” said Vlietstra, who added that 950 out of 5,754 voters in the township voted, • Bremer noted, for public awareness, that the State Tax Commission is conducting spot checks of all of Barry County, “to check our assessing practices and poli­ cies, to see if they are in place. They will be going to public homes to ask ques­ tions, and to be inspected. If we fail this inspection, the worst case scenario is a re­ assessment of the entire township.

Host Grand Rapids Christian won the Division 3 Regional Tournament with 30 points thanks to girls making the finals at all eight flights and winning six flight titles. Forest Hills Eastern was the other state qualifying team, finishing second with 19 points. Grand Rapids Catholic Central was third with 17 points, followed by South Christian 15. Matches were played indoors at the East Paris Courts, the MVP Sportsplex and the Riverview Athletic Club. The highlight of the day for the Trojans was the sec­ ond doubles team of Maddy VerHey and Michele Lindemulder knocking off Comstock Park's Jennifer Hudson and Kayla Foley 67(3), 6-4, 6-4 in its opening round match. Head coach Larry Seger said it was the duo's best match of the season. “Maddy VerHey clearly has made great strides in her game during the last two weeks from the back-court and Michele Lindemulder was very consistent from the back-court. “This team has great “chemistry” and shot selection was at its best.” The Trojan duo then fell 6-0, 6-0 to the top seeded Grand Rapids Christian team of Olivia DeVos and De Vos Carolina Heule.

Those saves pushed her career mark to 524, and 105 for the year, stopping 53-percent of the shots that come her way.

Through the Rockford action, Pontious now stands at 276 career goals and 42 for the season. The Scot defense led by Alexander, Jablonski, Alexander, Maynard and Koning started a little shaky but steadily improved and got tough as the second half progressed. “Freshmen Courtney Pontious had the hustle play of the day beating three I and maintaining possession for the Scots to kill the clock,” said Shefferly. The Scots defeated Brighton for their last game of the day, 14-6. Monroe led all scorers with four goals while Keagan Pontious added three, and Poll and Courtney Pontious added two each. Matti Hisey and DeJong added a goal each. The girls played together well on defense and looked sharp in the mid field,” Shefferly said. Scot freshmen Megan Bolt had two forced turnovers and two draw controls to add solid play to the midfield. The Scots are now 8-6 overall. Friday, May 9, the Scots topped Immaculate Conception High School 10­ 6.

The Trojans were scheduled to host South Christian last night, needing wins over the Sailors and Ottawa Hills Monday to secure at least a share of the conference championship. TK head coach Joel Strickland didn't have any trouble keeping his team focused on the task at hand Wednesday inside Bob White Stadium. “I think they knew what was at stake,’’ Strickland said. “If we wanted an opportunity to tie South for the conference and split it with them we had to win tonight.

The Fighting Scot varsity girls' track and field team won the first championship on the track, with the team of Allie Donalson, Megan Seromik, Olivia Bordewyk and Holly Race finishing the 3200-meter relay in 9 min­ utes 31.90 seconds Thursday. “I thought they’d have to break 9:40 to win and they went 9:31, and 9:39 was sec­ ond place, said Fighting Scot head coach Joe Zomerlei. “It was the first time we had a warm day. when times really drop.

The Caledonia boys won one relay too, the 400-meter relay Friday with the team of Jalen Burton, Eddie Kelly, Austin Simmons and Hayden Visscher finishing in 44.83 seconds. “They just ran amazing,” said Fighting Scot boys' coach Kevin Remenap. It’s been a bit of a different season for Remenap and the Scots, seeing sprinters lead the way for the team rather than the distance group. Kelly, Simmons, Burton and Landon Tompkins placed third in the 800-meter relay in 1:33.76. Burton was fourth in the 100-meter dash in 11.35 and third in the 200 in 23.34. Tompkins came out of the second heat of the 400-meter dash to place third with a time of 53.34, and teammate Zach Pieri was fifth overall with a fast-heat time of 53.66. Tompkins also nearly vaulted the Scots into second place for the meet with a blistering split in the 1600-meter relay which left him just behind the anchors from Grand Rapids Christian and East Grand Rapids. "‘Landon, if we could get him the baton just a little closer - he just moped the floor with those guys, but we just had a little too big of a hole,” Remenap said. The team of Tompkins, Steven Sammons, Pieri and Jensen Miller finished with a time of 3:32.65. The Eagles took the con­ ference title with 142 points. East Grand Rapids’ boys were second with 110, fol­ lowed by Caledonia 108, Jenison 105, Forest Hills Central 36 and Lowell 22. Tompkins had one of two Scot wins in the field events Thursday. He flew 20 feet 8 inches to win the long jump. Teammate Sammons won the high jump by clearing 6-4. Jake Harrison added a fourthplace leap of 19-7.5 in the long jump for the Scots, The discus was a big event for the Scot boys too, with Jake VanderVeen second thanks to a throw of 139-10 and Zane Gorby third at 128- IN A HURRY? * Call ahead for fast take out! 4. Jenison's Justin Radecki won with a mark of 141-11. VanderVeen added a fifth­ place mark of 44-9 in the shot put. The distance runners con­ tributed for the Scots too, with Josh Risner leading the way. Risner took the lead midway through the 3200meter run, but couldn't hold off Christian’s Mark DeJong who won the race in 9:58.88. Risner was second in 10:00.09.. “Josh is just a little ball of heart,” Remenap said. “He is all heart. He's small and kind of frail, he's a handsome devil, but he's a little frail looking and he just is all guts.” . “He couldn't pull out a win, but he got another huge PR today and he is just a great kid.” Risner was also fourth in the 1600-meter run in 4:37.85, a race DeJong won in 4:33.01. Scot teammate Jordan Pattison was sixth in that race (4:44.58). The Scot boys 3200-meter relay team of Miller, Risner, Flynn Darby and Pattison was third in 8:21.20. Miller added a sixth-place time of 2:06.68 in the 800-meter run. Jenison dominated the girls' meet with 147.5 points. East Grand Rapids was sec­ ond with 102, followed by Forest Hills Central 101.5, Grand Rapids Christian 75, Caledonia 56.5 and Lowell 40.5. Jenison girls won eight events on the track. Grand Rapids Christian took the 1600-meter relay and East Grand Rapids' Kaela Theut won the 3200 in 11:11.95, with Jenison runners in sec­ ond and third behind her. Rachel Walters from Low'ell took the 400 in 58.23, the only race in which Jenison didn't score among the top six. The Scots' Rave was third in that 400-meter race, turn­ ing in a time of 1:00.31. Cara Murphy matched that finish with a third-place time of 49.61 in die 300-meterJnw hurdles. A fall in the 100meter hurdles prevented her from being among the top finishers in that race. The Scots' 3200-meter relay team had two girls score in the 800-meter run. Donalson was fifth in 2:27.79 and Seromik sixth in 2:28.46. Those two also teamed with Murphy and Brooke Veneman to place third in the 1600-meter relay with a time of 4:17.65. The Caledonia girls’ top finish in the field came from Jenna Schumaker, who was third in the discus at 101-9.5. Lindsey Murphy was fifth in the long jump at 15-.5. In the tough distance races, the Scots had Bordewyk fourth in the 1600 (5:24.12) and Olivia Schroder sixth in the 3200 (11:59.50). f .ifta feta ¥ t to * t IM mm r lai g h 4 Pays Le After 45 years, we are going to say ’ Goodbye" and retire.

The final Ranger goal TK softball falls to South in last two conference contests Thomapple Kellogg’s var­ sity softball team finished off the OK Gold Conference season with a 5-5 record, dropping its last two games in league play at South Christian Tuesday 4-3 and 18-11. Graycen Bailey, Paige Lajcak and Sandra Gerou led the Trojans in the opener, and teamed up to convert one 1-6-3 double play. TK head coach Andy Saldivar said his team played great defense and got excel­ lent pitching from Bailey, who struck out six and allowed just five hits. Lajcak had a single and a double and Gerou had two RBI to lead the TK offense. Both offenses went crazy in game two. The Trojans led 8-6 going into the sixth innins before South Christian capitalized on bit hits, errors and walks to score the seven-run win. Bailey was 3-for-4 at the plate with three runs. Lajcak was 2-for-4 with two RBI. Gerou chipped in two RBI. Lindsay Thomas. Taylor Cross. Kim Webster and Alex DiPiazza all added hits for TK, and the Trojans only struck out twice as a team.

If you show up with your dune buggy ahd want to throw candy, you will not be allowed to do that." Tom Basarabski, com­ mander, Caledonia Post 305, agreed. “Every year we get requests from groups who want to march in the parade; we explain the parade is actually part of a memorial service. If you want to march, you need to be in uniform," he said. Post member Glen Klaver is responsible for organizing the activities. Because Memorial Day is a solemn day to remember those who made the ulti.mate sacrifice, the parade will not include politicians marching, waving or distri­ bution of literature to onlookers. No floats repre­ senting organizations, lively music, recreational vehicles or candy distribution are permitted. Only the steady tread of men and women in uniform, the gentle rumble of a fire department vehicle, and the muted purring of the motorcycles of the Riders of the American Legion, - Caledonia Township As Supervisor Bryan Harrison board expressed at the meeting on Wednesday by Fran Faverman 4 “ .

For at least the past seven years, eighth graders have visited local cemeteries to place American flags at the gravesites of veterans. Sprague told the students it’s an honor they should rec­ ognize and take seriously. And she reminded students that Memorial Day is about much more than the unoffi­ cial start of summer. “You’ll be doing an honor today,” said Mike Hallifax, cemetery sexton.’ “Take a minute or two and honor these people.” Before students headed out to decorate the cemeteries, middle school teacher Laura Nikkei spoke to the students about her father, Steve Roelofs, who. * died in October from cancer. Nikkei said her father served in Vietnam. She said his form of cancer has been o 616-891 -9703 l||F .* jp - x^z * 5 '"11 k linked to exposure to a chemical called “Agent Orange”used during the Vietnam War to clear heavy jungle brush. “He fought for our coun­ try. These people are heroes,” said Nikkei. “They put themselves in harm’s way for our country and our freedoms.” She shared several of the medals her father received from his service during the war. “His death is because he was a veteran,” she said. Memorial Day was for­ merly known as Decoration Day and originated after the Civil War to commemorate Union and Confederate soldiers who died in the Civil War. . Today, the federal holiday honors all Americans who have died in military service, (See stories on area isis^ J , -a SJ2 J < ii IYJ -atoll® ilfc a rffi I r V. w Elites ¥ I ’ ■ ”i?*i r ■ km Koty Rodriguez, an eighth grader at Thornapple Kellogg Middle School, decorates a veteran’s grave at Mt.

The Thornapple Kellogg Class of 2014 includes 212 students who listen to various speakers throughout the evening. “Your efforts and accom­ plishments will serve you and this world very well,” he said. Enslen encouraged stu­ dents to be willing to experi­ ence whatever comes openly and without reservation. “Be a ‘front-rower,’ don't let life go undiscovered. Be courageous, challenge your fears. Don’t hesitate to demonstrate your intelli­ gence, dignity, and compas­ sion, for that is what you will be remembered for, thought of and loved.” . Enslen, noted the high number of honor students graduating, as well as the numerous achievements and accomplishments of the class of 2014, including students in art, technical education, woods and the recent accom­ plishments in sports. “Don’t let fear make your decisions; step up and be a front-rower,” said Enslen. The honor and senior choir sang “Bridge Over Troubled Water” before Senior Class President David Walter III addressed his classmates. Walter reminded students that while technology plays an important role in society, students should also take time to put down tech­ nology and experience life. “Technology is amazing, but I remember my time with my family and the fun, the experiences.” Elizabeth Rogers intro­ duced keynote speaker George Dudik. “Thank you, Class of 2014. I honor you today with a couple of quotes to help me start. ‘Quality is not an act, it is a habit,’ ‘Falling on your face is still moving for­ ward.’” Dudik told students he cares about all of them — whether he had them in class or not. “Relationships matter. in series of moments, woven within relationships. Remember the people in your lives have been a part of your lives.” Dudik said, “Without meaningful rela­ tionships, along the way, what's the point [of having a legacy]? “Don't forget to thank the ones that have helped shape who you are. “Whatever, or wherever your path takes you, be who you've always wanted to be. You know you best. Never stop growing, being curious, learning. This I challenge you to do.” Koski then brought atten­ tion to graduating senior, Kelly Spiering, who was being filmed by Jerry Robinson, TK tech education teacher, in a live-feed being transmitted to her father, who is serving in Afghanistan. This attention brought the entire audience as well as students to their feet. Announcing the graduat­ ing class of 2014 and hand­ ing each student his or her diploma were senior class advisors Stacey Hicks and Kevin Kane, along with TK board of education members David Smith, Donald Haney, Cindy Ordway and Joyce A Il H ll I 1 V Senior Class President David Walter III reminds his classmates to occasionally turn off technology and enjoy life. - est of honors senior Jessica Ziccarello offered closing sentiments to her fellow sen­ iors, asking each of them to do what they do best and never to give up on them­ selves. . * Zachary Vanderstelt, also achieving highest honors,, ed his fellow students, releasing the pent up celebration.

Nicholas Roush, a Thomapple Kellogg High School graduate, died Aug. 16, 2009, while serving in Afghanistan. A memorial fund was set up in his name to accept donations from throughout the community. Bob said the funds have been safe, but just waiting for the right time to be used. “No one really knew what to do with it and it was just too much to think about for awhile,” admits Bob, who added that, after meeting with organizers of the Veterans Memorial, he and Donna felt it the donation would be a fitting and lasting way to honor not only their son, but others who have died serving the country. “We feel good about it,” said Bob. “We feel like it will be a lasting memorial in the community. Nick loved this community. He was all about his hometown.” The Roush’s said they again want to thank everyone for donating funds in Nick’s name and want to let people know how the funds are going to be used. Bob said he’s sure some people may have been wondering what was done with the funds and now, he said, he hopes this donation will help kick start the project. “The time is right for it to be used .now,” explained Bob. “This just seems like the right time and the right two smaller monuments sur­ rounding an engraved brick “The time is right for area.

Rodriguez explained that the cost of the model, quoted at $54,170, will be shared by another school dis­ trict. “The evaluation model is one of the four models approved by appiuvuu uy the inc state biaic Willcommittee for evaluation tools,” said Rodriguez. “We have chosen the Robert Marzano teacher and administrative model. The cost referenced in the motion represents the software and professional development. We will see a savings of $20,000 as we will partner with another school district to share the professional development ’ cost. “Currently, we have sev­ eral districts in the county moving to this model which may result in a consortium pricing advantage reducing the cost even more. The state will allocate some funds toward the implementation of these models to assist us but that amount is yet to be determined. It will be applied, however, to reduce the cost of the program. Our administrators and teacher representatives reviewed the 4 models and provided input.” Continuing with regular business the board moved to approve approve the tne leaves of absence (FMLA) for Duncan Lake teachers Bethany Vandenbrand and Jennifer Amorose, high school teacher Jennifer Jonkman and bus driver Katie Einberger. Also accepted was the retirement of Kathy Zoet, custodian for operations, which coincided with the board’s adoption of the 2014 Early Retirement Incentive program. Noted by board secretary Michelle Zoet, the school’s administrative office will be available during the summer, Monday through Thursday, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. 1 I'J S’SK t I In bl 5 * Goodrich TREATERS $5.25 No passes Downtown Hastings on State St. rr LINES INSURANCE AGENCY LOCATED IN GQTI.com and on Facebook BARGAIN TWILIGHT MIDDLEVILLE, Ml IS LOOK TO ADD A ft DAILY 4:00-6:00 PM TEAM MEMBER * excludes Digital 30 (§) Stadium Seating SHOWTIMES 5/30 - 6/4 TITUS AND TIMES SUBJECT TO CHANGE O © A MILLION WAYS TO DIE IN THE WEST (R) SAT-SUN 11:20, 2:00. 4:30, 7:10. 9:40 MON-WED 4:30, 7:10, 9:40 O MALEFICENT (PG) SAT-SUN 11:10, 1:50, 6:45 MON-WED 6:45 o 3D MALEFICENT (PG) $2.50 PREMIUM PER 3D TICKET DAILY 4:10, 9:10 (PG-13) ‘ SAT-SUN 12:30, 3:30, 6:30, 9:30 MON-WED 6:30, 9:30 GODZILLA (PG-13) SAT-SUN 11: . 1:40. 4:20. 7:00. 9:50 MON-WED 4:20, 7:00, 9:50 06843037 A GROWING COMMERCIAL 269-205-4900 O OX-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST in r ■ Duality L -■ V EC F 4 7 HASTINGS 4 Shear Attitude Salon Hastings Bowling c ■ .1 ft ft ■C ftfe V Tunes and Trails Night by Pennock Health Services.

The proposed venture will be located at 9210 Cherry Valley Avenue under a determination of similar use provision. The property is currently zoned C-2 and a bakery is permitted in C-1. The partners would do business as Michigan Moonshine, thereby giving those with discerning palates for spirituous liquors the opportunity to taste and sampie liquors in a small estabiishment similar to the tasting rooms employed by wineries to showcase their products. Smith explained patrons could come in, have a drink and, if they wanted to, pur­ chase a bottle for at-home or off-premise consumption. He emphasized that the only beverages sold would be those distilled on site. He added that the company's products would not be sold in other retail establish­ ments. "Are you already brew­ ing?" asked Commissioner Don Koopmans, who also asked Smikth about haz- taiteui ardous waste. deed restriction.

Because his company is a vendor to the university, Warner excused himself and stepped down from the dias. Jack Barr of Nederveld Engineering, representing Davenport, said there were fourareas four concern: four areas of expanding parking, stormwater, bringing public utilities to the site, and although the Kent County Road Commission had approved a new entrance from 68th Street, the need for a bypass lane had not yet been determined. Wells' recommendation to the commission, as she listed 12 conditions for approval, was to either t&ble the request or to approve the request with the submission of additional information, Area residents weighed in, first. Matt Moore said he was not excited about having a football stadium on the eastem boundary of his property and wanted screening from light and and noise. noise, Rhonda light Schlecter wanted to know if other buildings were going to be developed on the remain­ der of the site. The lights from the baseball field impact her property. Steve Young said the new entrance is opposite his driveway. He has concerns about traffic and safety, observing that gravel trucks currently speed on 68th. He wants a bypass lane. Commissioner Marlink wanted connectivity to the trail system. Koopmans wanted more information. Commissioner Duane Gunnink suggested granting preliminary site approval, Kelly recommended that Davenport use meetings to get as much information out as possible about their plans. Ultimately, the commis- sion voted to grant prelimi­ nary site approval, ensuring that Davenport will need to return to the commission for final site approval, but approved the amendment to the special use permit contin­ gent on rezoning of the land by the township board. The next regular meeting, scheduled for Monday, June 2, has been cancelled due to a lack of agenda items. l *1 Music begins Wednesday at Bay Pointe Inn Every Wednesday from June 11 Don May 28 through Aug. 27, Middlebrook. live music is available from June 18 — Squid Band.

X Leonard installed as GFWC state president Fran Leonard, a member of the General Federation of Women's Clubs-Gun Lake Area, was recently named as the state president for GFWC for 2014 through 2016. For the past two years, Leonard served as first vice president. Prior to that, she held positions as southwest­ ern district president and president of her home club GFWC Gun Lake Area, Inc. As she takes office July I, Leonard will bring leader­ ship experience to the job. Her work in years past included a bike path on Patterson Road as well as being a key person in the development of the Yankee Springs Township Park and Lending Library of Gun Lake. After joining the Gun Lake Club in 1995, Leonard held office as secretary and vice-president and served as facilitator for new-member orientation. To raise funds for scholarships, she helped develop a member directory and served as auctioneer and toastmistress for the scholar­ ship dinner. For 20 years, the ' club hosted an annual home tour in which Leonard played a major role. The community fund ben­ efits from holiday with 1 Fran Leonard friends luncheons she co­ chairs with Marjory Richards. She was honored as Ms. Federation in 1999 and Woman of Achievement in 2000. . At the state level, Leonard has chaired the awards and budget committees and served on the resolutions and strategic planning commit­ tees. In her role as first vice­ president, she was dean of community service pro­ grams, advancements and special projects, focusing on reporting. As president, her logo is the hot air balloon. Her guiding acronym is SOAR, short for “sharing our abundant resources,” and her special is project “Reconnect with GFWC.” Fran and her husband McFall Elementary first grader Emma Reiffer tries out the view from the driver’s seat of a Michigan State Police patrol vehicle while classmate Kylee Hoebeke occu­ pies the passenger seat.

Dick and Fran, both Michigan natives, began life together in 1964. They have lived in Michigan, Colorado, Connecticut and North Carolina. Dick retired from Dow Corning Corporation and in 1994, they moved to Gun Lake. Fran gained sec­ retarial skills as she worked in the registrar’s office at Michigan State University, at Kelly Services in North Carolina, and at Midland Public Schools until her retirement in 1995.

Free yourself from cycle of emotional investing In many areas of your life, you’re probably aware that it’s useful to keep emotions out of your decision-making — and that’s certainly the case with investing. However, it can be difficult to keep your feelings from influencing your investment decisions. But you may find it easier to invest with your head, rather than your heart, if you know a little some­ thing about two different cycles: the market cycle and your emotional cycle. Let’s start with the market cycle. If you've been invest­ ing for a while, you’re aware (probably highly aware) that the financial markets are rarely static — they are always moving up and down, at least in the short term. (Over the very long term, a period of many decades, the markets have trended up.) But these short-term move­ ments, while perhaps appear­ ing as “zigs” and “zags” on a daily basis, actually form a pattern, or a cycle, that can last for months or years. These cycles are known as bull (up) or bear (down) mar­ kets. Going back to the Great Depression, the average bear market has lasted 21 months, while the average bull mar­ ket has extended for 57 to months, according research from Standard and Poor's Index Services. 9 % A ft- I I 173 -JF1 ■ ASOWJi ite isd N 1HI r -jcsiOTOi Hope College names area students to dean’s list to ■ i to *** jil . -- ■ r*^ These market cycles great­ around.

Jared Smith chipped in an 8T " Rockford’s AJ Varekois tied for the day’s best score, a 70. The Rams also got a 73 from Joel Pietila, a 77 from Michael Cooper and a 78 from Josh Stephan. Mitchell White from Mona Shores matched Varekois and was the day’s top individual state qualifier from the regional, scoring a 70. Josh Arbour from Grand Ledge (71) and Max Rispler from Forest Hills Central (72) were the other two individual state qualifiers. Lake view was led by a 73 from James Staab and a 74 from Matt Alderink. Grandville was paced by Seth Terpstra’s 74.

The Pioneers took a 2-0 lead in the home half of the third inning. The Scots tied things up in the top of the fifth then scored the winning run in the top of the seventh. The Scots had the lead, lost it and then got it back in a big way Tuesday. Caledonia led 3-0 after two innings, but saw the Bulldogs rally to take a 4-1 lead in the fifth. The Scots got the lead back with three runs in the bottom of the fifth and then finished off the Bulldogs with an eight-run sixth. Caledonia had 12 hits in the win, including triples by Mitch Horgan, Joe Stegehuis and Drake Ellens. Dan Zeman got the win for the Scots on the mound.

Caledonia’s Lauren Donkin played a ball through a swarm of players in front of the Ranger net with just over 22 minutes to play in the contest, and teammate Shelby VanLaar fought her way through to knock home a shot for a 1-0 Scot lead.

It’s a dangerous team and they’re going to create difficult situ­ ations, but I think that for the most part we dealt with it pretty well.” The Fighting Scots were solid on defense for most of the evening, with Olivia Clipfell, Lexi Bush Natalie Avery and Dani McCarty leading the way in front of Hubbel. Caledonia gave up just 12 goals all season long, finishing the season with a 10-5-3 record, but half of those 12 goals were to the Rangers.

They won that against highly rated teams. We won a district (in 2013), and went to regional finals. It has been a great run with them, and they’re all quality people,” Sanxter said. £ “They’re good students. They’re good student-ath­ letes, good citizens and they’re active in their school, their community and their churches. Just a real treat. Never a discipline problem with that group. It's always been all-out.” The Scots opened the postseason with a 9-1 victory over visiting Wyoming Tuesday. Veerakone had two goals and an assist and VanLaar added two goals as well.

The vision that President Pappas, Mike Volk and Paul Lowden have shared, it’s the same that I have.” In 2013, as defensive coordinator at Ferris State, Esposito coached a defensive unit that included new starters at virtually every position at the start of the campaign.

Esposito has laid out a clear plan over the next two years before the program will even play a game and put it into two parts. “Our first goal will be to assemble a staff that is of high charac­ ter and are great teachers of the game. They are people that I would want to have my own son play for one day. The second part is to recruit great individuals and great athletes. I want to bring in the captains of their teams and ones that also bring that level of character that will be represented in our program and at our University.” tl New programs always bring a sense of excitement,” said Paul Lowden, Davenport Director of Athletics. “Starting a foot­ ball program has created an even more positive atmosphere on campus and in the community. We had an outstanding talent pool, which made it a very tough deci­ sion. Lou is very passionate with a lot of energy and he will be a great teacher, leader and role model for our foot­ ball student athletes.” Esposito served as the defensive line coach and recruiting coordinator at Western Michigan University from 2010-12 under former WMU head coach Bill Cubit.

The Fighting Scots won't be playing there, but its not because they weren’t worthy of being one of the two best teams in the state in their division. No. 3 ranked Caledonia led No. 1 ranked East Grand Rapids by two goals in the second half of their Division 2 Regional Semifinal Wednesday, but the Pioneers rallied for a 9-8 victory on Memorial Field in East Grand Rapids. “This was the state cham­ pionship game right here," said Fightin Scot head coach Ralph Shefferly. “It won’t be any better when you go to the state champi* onship game.’’ It was the third loss of the season for the Scots against the Pioneers. Caledonia fell twice in conference play dur­ ing the regular season to the Pioneers, once by a goal and once by two goals. A rough start saw the Fighting Scots fall behind 5­ 1 in the first half. Caledonia rallied to within 5-3 at the half, and pulled within 5-4 on a nice twisting shot by Keagan Pontious with 21:30 remaining in the second half. The Scots got a boost when EGR leader Liza Elder was sent to the bench for two minutes with a yellow' card after the ensuing draw. The Scots would score three times with the two-minute advantage to take a 7-5 lead. ll They play a backer zone so when they go down one they have to just play man," & '• hi $ r Caledonia’s varsity girls’ lacrosse team talks things over during an East Grand Rapids time-out with their teams tied 8-8 in the final minutes of Wednesday’s Division 2 Regional Semifinal contest at East Grand Rapids High School. (Photo by Brett Bremer) Shefferly said. “Man-to­ man, we can beat anybody, anytime. When you put that backer in there it screws us up a little bit. They played really well. We played a really, really poor first half, But we recovered well.” Pontious and Elder, two of the very best players in the state, both had fine contests.

(Photo by Brett Bremer) • ' Pontious led the Scots with three goals and an assist. Elder had four goals and an assist. A goalkeeper change and Elder's return to the field sparked the Pioneer comeback. Elder scored goals with 13:03 and 11:58 remaining on the clock to tie the game at 7-7. The Scots looked to have taken the lead back with 9:32 to play when Pontious fired a shot by EGR back-up keeper Rebecca Scobell, but Pontious was bumped into the Pioneer keeper and the goal was waived off. The Scots were issued a red card, with a four-minute penalty for a stick to the head, as the Pioneers worked the ball the other way. The penalty evened the field at 10 field players each for half a minute and then gave the Pioneers an advantage for three and a half minutes. Elder scored on a restart with 6:58 to play, but Pontious was able to control the ensuing draw and scored a minute later on a restart herself. The Scots controlled the draw that followed Pontious' goal, with the game tied 8-8, but quickly turned the ball over. Possession flew back and forth for a minute and a half until Scot goalkeeper Helene Miller came up with a huge save with just under four minutes to play. Miller tried to scoop up the rebound, but it found its way to the Pioneers' Meggan Loyd and East got a time-out with 3:31 to play. Scot defender Tori Alexander scooped up an East turnover soon after the time-out, but the Pioneers quickly got possession back and scored on a restart in front of the Scot net on a high, hard shot from Elder with 1:40 to go. . “We couldn't make the clears when we needed to make the clears. You can’t make the clears. They’ve got a lot of pressure on you. We made some questionable 3 3 decisions with the ball that cost us some of the game, then the last part we could have sat on it a little better, Shefferly said. “They caught the ball and took care of it when they needed to. It’s a game of runs, so what are you going to do. You just hope you’re running on the end." Miller finished the game with nine saves in goal for the Scots. Ashley Watson and Savannah Monroe scored twice each for Caledonia, and Watson added one assist. Matti Hisey had Caledonia's other goal. Courtney Pontious chipped in a pair of assists and Amy Kuzava had one. Seniors scored all eight of the Fighting Scot goals, Seniors also were vital on the back end, with McKenna Maynard and Tori Alexander playing key roles in front of senior keeper Miller. “Those little girls, I had those seniors since they were in seventh grade," Shefferly said. “They've been playing and getting better and getting better. We've been building a state-ranked program on their backs for the last four years. They’ve been with us all the way.” Lexie Duca and Loyd each finished with two goals for East Grand Rapids, and Cydney VanHoven had one. The Pioneers were sched­ uled to meet Grand Rapids Catholic Central in the regional championship match in East Grand Rapids last night (May 30). The Cougars defeated Grand Rapids Christian 18-8 in the second regional semifinal of the day at EGR Wednesday. _______ DBBIIXI'S _______ Ot _ I q *8 Si Si hL , ACDelco COMPLETE AUTO SERVICE CENTER Your Local GM Automotive Specialists LOCATED JUST SOUTH OF HASTINGS ON M79 Siu » Our Diagnostic Computer Software is Compatible With AH Makes & Models 5-019 JEFF DOBBIN St AUTO SlKVICf INC.

(Photo by Brett Bremer) It Kent County Sheriff Larry Stelma wants boaters to be safe and is reminding boaters to use common sense, be especially careful, and lake necessary steps to avoid tragedy on the water. The Kent County Sheriff s Office Marine Patrol offers six safety tips: 1. Wear a life jacket: 70 percent of boating fatalities involve drowning, and of those who drowned. 86 percent were not wearing a life jacket. 2. Make sure wvour boat is properly equipped and your equipment is in good working order: Boaters are urged to earn all the legally required equipment, such as life jack­ ets and fire extinguishers, plus some recommended items, such as a first aid kit. charts of the area (to help you identify your loca­ tion). and an anchor. Avoid alcohol: As much as 50 percent of all boating accidents involve alcohol. Alcohol affects judgment, balance. and vision - all of which are necessary to operate a boat. Studies have shown that passengers are also 10 times more likely to fall overboard when they have been consuming alcohol, 4. File a float plan: Similar to a flight plan for a pilot, a float plan gives the "who. what. w hen. and w here” of your trip. A float plan should be tiled with a friend or family mem­ ber on shore and should contain clear instructions for the holder to contact the Sheriff or Coast Guard in the event that you don’t return from your voyage when you are expected. 5. Maintain a sharp look­ out: Boaters need to be alert in order to avoid collission. espeically during busy holidays and weekends. This is especially true when operat­ ing near a bend, in crowded waterways, and at night or during conditions of restricted visibility. 6. arry a marine radio or cell phone: Be prepared to call for help if involved in an accident, the boat becomes disabled, or you need assistance. The VHF-FM radio is the pre­ ferred method for contacting the Coast Guard because they can use direction find­ ing equipment to locate you. Other boaters with marine radios can also hear your call for help. While cell phones are also acceptable, make sure you have a full battery before heading out on the water. But. beware - there are often gaps in cell phone cov­ erage on the water. On Staff at all Grand Rapids Hospitals * Save • Save • Save! Pre-season AC sale going on now!

Nick Salinas of the Gymnastics in Motion Boys Competitive Team placed tenth on the rings and third on the vault at the April 13 USAG Regionals at the University of Michigan. Salinas, who is coached by Gene Lockyer and has been at gymnast at Gymnastics in Motion in Middleville for six years, was one more than 900 boys from five states participating in the meet. He earned his spot in the regional with a score of 56.60 out of 60 at the state meet in Battle Creek in March.

She also assisted on her team’s lone goal Thursday. Teammate Erin Scheidel added to her career assist record at TK Tuesday, set­ ting up teammate Shelbi Shepherd for a score midway through, the second half, moments after scoring her­ self off an assist from Shepherd. “It’s kind of neat to see those two girls, goal record, assist record, points record between the two of them,” said TK head coach Joel Strickland. “They will defi­ nitely go out as two of the best to play here and we’re going to definitely miss them, but hopefully we can make a good run here in the tournament.” It took some time before the Trojans were assured they’d be moving on to Thursday’s district semifi­ nals in Middleville. TK had 14 shots in the first half, but only a handful were on goal. Strickland preached to his team at half­ time about how it needed to start putting the ball in the net. “Our defense played great,” Strickland said. “The second half, one mistake, that’s what we always tell the girls, one small mistake J '•w ’lllj ■ ’•K.

We don’t get the chance to score on Middleville very often, and it kind of gave this team a good bump. That’s what we were looking for, it’s just that we couldn’t hold it.” The Trojans were sparked by the tie-score. It only took them about four minutes to pull back in front. Graham blasted a shot from the right side, which deflected through a crowd in front of the Saxon net to teammate Holly Hall who fired it into the open net. TK would score two more goals within the next eight and a half minutes. Shepherd and Scheidel traded plays * that looked like mirror images of each other 32 sec- onds apart. Shepherd tapped the ball through traffic in front of the Saxon net, from right to left, finding Scheidel open on the other side for the score. Scheidel knocked a pass from the left corner through traffic to Shepherd on the right side, which Shepherd put past Saxon keeper Autumn Demott to make it 4-1 TK with 22:58 left to play.

Koski has served as prin­ cipal at TKHS for the past eight years following district positions as assistant princi­ pal and athletic director for two years. Koski said the decision to leave is bittersweet. “First of all, I’m not leav­ ing because it’s a better job, just different,” Koski said. “Being in an administrative job for 10 years, you just need a change.” Koski has strong family ties to the area he’s moving to and said that had a lot to do with his family’s deci­ sion. “I think the world of TK schools, the community, the people and especially the kids here,” said Koski. “What’s not to like here?

This picture shows guests arriving in Middleville after rid­ ing the trolley last year. Free trolley rides around Middleville will be offered on Wednesday evenings this summer. The trolley will make several stops around the village area from 6 to 9 p.m. The trolley is part of the Barry County Transit. Stops include Lincoln Meadows, Cider Mill, i iz i ? oi d 0 Edge wood, High Street, Stagecoach Park, Stadium Drive, Drive, Drive, Robin Sherman Towncenter, Street and Misty Ridge, There are marked signs where the trolley stops. The trolley makes sever­ al stops in neighborhoods as well as the downtown area where riders can get off for an ice cream cone, for a walk along the trail or for dinner and shopping. The Farmers Market is also open Wednesdays from 4 to 8 p.m. “What’s • Up Wednesday’s" also is start­ ing and provides free enter­ tainment on or near Main Street. Staff Writer There was obvious tension among Middleville Village council members Tuesday afternoon when they dis­ cussed applying for a grant that might enable the village and Thomapple Township to expand the village hall and to share office space at no cost to either entity. A committee of members from the township and vil­ lage has been studying the idea of sharing office space to reduce and to consolidate some expenses for both gov­ ernmental bodies. The town­ ship and village would still be separate governing bodies under the suggested arrange­ ment, but the committee members agreed both gov­ ernment units may be able to work better together and to consolidate some services if they operated out of one e facility. Township Thornapple have members council already approved making the application for a community grant assistance program. The grant could provide up to 100 percent of funds need­ ed for the addition to the vil­ lage hall with no matching dollar requirement. Village council member Ed Schellinger said the committee is only looking for approval to apply for the grant at this time. He said that, even if the grant is approved, the village and township can still decline if it's the two entities decide it ’s not what they want to do or if expenses are not covered. A preliminary estimate for a 2,000-square-foot expan­ sion to the village office came in at about $250,000, according to Schellinger. Supervisor Township Mike Bremer assured the council that applying for the grant does not guarantee the project will move forward. He said it will still be a joint decision between the town­ ship and the village. ' “We just want to apply for the grant," said Bremer. It’s an opportunity for us to do something together. It would improve the down­ town and make it easier for our residents." • Bremer pointed out that every day people are directed to either the township offices from the village or from the village offices to the town­ ship. He said preliminary 14 * * I w See OFFICES, page 3 r In This Issue... • Audit shows Middleville village finances continue to improve • Power outages hit area twice in less than a week • Caledonia softball wins its first district title since 2007 • Rave has record-setting 400-meter at Division 1 State Championship 1] it .4> 1 I I I 1 > �« Page 2/The Sun and News, Saturday, June 7, 2014 « ‘Doors to Art in Caledonia’ exhibit opens This piece requires a close look to discover a flag.

The range of styles extends from the abstract to representational art. and the exhibit includes work from youngsters to senior artists. The doors reflect various functions; there are cabinet doors, full-length doors capable of being used in a room, a screen door, an inter­ active door, and doors repre senting garden gates, The interactive door is a tic-tac-toe door whose pieces can actually be moved to play the game. This piece by Grace French is mounted on a door immediately facing the entrance door to the Ice Cream Express shop on Main Street. Across the street at the Caledonia Hair Company, two glass cabinet doors by artist Julie Zacsek are exhib­ ited. By sheer volume, the largest single portion of the exhibit is on the wall of the former H and L manufactur­ ing building now owned by the Caledonia Elevator Company.

Hermenet reluctantly gave up his vision of another access point when it became apparent that private ownership of the properties on the shores of the Thornapple River made a public land access point impossible. No action was taken by the board. The remainder of the meeting was devoted to a discussion of how to respond to a request from a commercial taxpayer for a greater reduction in the assessment of the company's property. Robertson said the company has negotiated a reduction in its assessment beginning in 2010 and each year has negotiated an an additional reduction through 2011, 2012, 2013, and is challeng­ ing its 2014 assessment. The issue for Robertson is the cost of securing an appraisal to be submitted to the State Tax Tribunal would be about $20,000. His concern is that the township receives about two percent of the company's Staff Writer One agenda item was an easy one for the Caledonia Township Board of Trustees at its meeting Wednesday evening: The announcement of John “Buff’ Rodgers as this year’s Hometown Hero. The honor goes each year to a resident whose contribu­ tions to the life of the community are significant. In his nomination, Supervisor Bryan Harrison said that Rodgers’ dedicated service as manager of the waste­ water treatment plant cer­ tainly met that criteria. Board members unanimously agreed, commenting on his distinguished service, activi­ ty with Caledonia Post 305 of the American Legion, and his length of service with the Caledonia Fire Department. Rodgers will serve as the Grand Marshal for the Independence Day parade on Saturday, June 28. Treasurer Richard Robertson introduced the list of foreclosed properties within Caledonia that are up for sale by the county because of delinquent real >; estate taxes. State law requires these properties to be offered to the township for possible sale for a public use by the township before they can be offered for sale to private individuals or enti­ ties. He said he did not think any of the properties would be of interest to the town­ ship. Nevertheless, one proper­ ty caught the fancy of Trustee Dale Hermenet, an island in the Thornapple River between the 7300­ 7400 block of the drive along the river. The property is under water approximately • six months of the year, but Hermenet thought it might have possibilities for a public access to the river and a bridge could be created from tax bill, but would have to bear the cost of fighting the challenge. After a lengthy discus­ sion, including some discus­ sion of the increasing aggres­ siveness of businesses challenging assessments, the board decided to leave it up to the State Tax Tribunal to make a decision. ’ • The Sun and News has filed Freedom of Information requests for the records of the negotiations and costs to the township in the challenge from the company. Township Clerk Jennifer Christian said that she had been receiving favorable comments about the paving of roads into the township cemeteries. Water issues had occurred at Caledonia Lakeside Cemetery when a water main had broken and the contractor damaged some of the new paving. The board’s next meeting will be on Wednesday, June 18 at 7 p.m. in the township offices at 8196 Broadmoor Avenue.

For the past two years, revenues have exceeded expenses for the village, he said, adding there were no reportable budget variances. Most communities have at least some variances noted, explained. he explained, but Middleville’s outlook is very good. He thoroughly reviewed the audit report at the committee-of-the-whole meeting Tuesday. , Not too long ago, there were some very large nega­ tive numbers, and I honestly, as your auditor, didn't know how that was going to go," Veldhuizen told council members.

Veldhuizen also noted that auditors like to recommend communities have 15 to 20 percent of one year’s operating budget in fund balance available for emergencies. The village currently has about $134,000, or 13 per­ cent, fund balance. “That’s not bad,” said Veldhuizen. He credited village man­ ager Rebecca Fleury and the village staff for accurate record keeping. In other matters at Tuesday’s meeting: • The council will consider at its June 10 meeting a request to move from AT&T to Charter Communications for phone and Internet serv­ ices. Department of Public Works Superintendent Duane Weeks said the village could see savings of more than $1,000 per month with the switch. Council members had some questions concerning the service and costs and asked that a repre­ sentative from Charter be at the June 10 meeting to pro­ vide answers. • The council will consid- Summer reading to start at TK library week of June 16 The summer reading pro­ gram begins the week of June 16 at the Thornapple Kellogg School and Community Library and fea­ tures the world of dinosaurs and science.

May Friday, 30. Consumers Energy noted a large power outage in the Middleville and Caledonia area that affected more than 1.200 customers, A tractor reportedly knocked down a power pole at the Aubil Lake substation near the intersection of Patterson Avenue and Green Lake Road. The outage not only affected electricity, but also knocked out telephone and Internet service for many including customers, Thomapple Kellogg schools. Phones were not working at Call 945-9554 for Sun & News classified ads *4 We don’t have to take advantage of every grant that comes down the pipe." asserted Reyff. “I’m not sure how all our constituents w ill feel about all this. We have too many vacant buildings now and I think we need to take it into consideration.” . Schellinger said he’s hopeful the economy is turn­ ing around and hopeful that more businesses will be coming to Middleville. “The tow nship building will be a valuable property to put back on the tax rolls." he poinld out. . Council members were told there is no cost to make the application, only the time needed by the committee to fill out the forms. Village Council member Shannon Haigh said she's concerned that, if the grant is approved, the village and township are one step closer to merging into one goveming body. “Are we goin ft to merge the two together to make one?” asked Haigh. “1 think Lee and McFall elementary' schools, and the Internet was down for the 4district. Administrators were able to work to send out an instant alert to parents in the district. Cails to Lee and McFall were forwarded from the administration offices to cell phones of the administrators at those two buildings. w. Tom Superintendent Enslen said students were only affected by their inability to use the Internet. He said since it was later in the afternoon, the disruption was less noticeable for the high school and middle school students. The outage was reported about 1:47 p.m. and was restored about 4:30 p.m., according to officials with that’s what Bremer wants and I don’t want to even go down that road.” After that comment. Council President Charlie Pullen said the request before the village council was simply w hether to move the request on to the full council for consideration at the June 10 meeting. Haigh. visibly upset, then said she w as sick and tired of only some people on the council being able to make motions and comments with­ out being cut off. Pullen said he wasn't try­ ing to cut anyone off and gave Haigh an opportunity to continue discussion or ques­ tions. Haigh, still visibly upset because she felt she was cut off, refused further comment or discussion say­ ing she was too frustrated. Haigh. Joyce Lutz and Reyff voted against moving the request on to the full council. Schellinger. Phil VanNoord, Mike Lytle and Pullen voted in favor of it going to the full council June 10. Consumers Energy, outage A second Wednesday, June 4, affected more than 4,176 customers in the Middleville. Caledonia and Lowell areas. The outage was reported about 1:15 p.m. and a different substation was involved. According to officials from Consumers Energy, an electric line feed­ ing a substation in the Alto area was down creating the outage that impacted cus­ tomers in Barry and Kent counties. Power was restored to the Middleville area around 1:40 p.m. Power was restored to everyone else by about 2:45 p.m., said officials with Consumers Energy.

Bremer said he thinks this is a golden opportunity for the village and township to get some taxpayer dollars back from Lansing, make improvements for residents, and save some money. And. he said, it may all be done without having to provide any matching dollars from the communities. “All we want to do right "All now now is ask for permission to fill out the application," he said. “Then we'll see what happens." Village Council member Sue Reyff said she had con­ cerns about the grant. She reminded the council that the township recently renovated its offices and she was sure that project had cost a considerable amount of money.

Talone walked the entire North Country Trail 10 years ago. In the past 25 years, the Maryland native, has hiked more about 60,000 through­ out North America. “I love to walk,” said Talone. “I can't wait to see what's around the next bend, and I've been like that since the first day I've hiked.” He said long-distance hik­ ing is a mental exercise because the distant goal is ever-present. “There are days you don’t want to walk 30 kilometers. you have to because that’s next SUppiy point,” said Talone. “You just do it, you Flannel by Maywood® 54" Marine Vinyl A just grind out the miles. It’s all fun, but it’s like anything else, you have days where it is easier than the other days.” The first of June he passed though the Chief Noonday section of the North Country National Scenic Trail. He made a stop in Middleville and ate breakfast at the Big Easy where he was treated like royalty. He was met by several “trail angels,” people who provide housing and meals along long-distance trails, and agreed to return for the North Country Trail meeting, Everyone is invited to come and hear stories from this hiker who has traveled afar and even blazed new trails in Canada.

As you start talking about your finances, be sure to cover these areas: • Separate or joint checking/savings accounts — Some couples create joint checking and savings accounts, others keep every­ thing separate and still others find a middle ground — joint accounts along with smaller, separate accounts. There’s really no one “right” way for everyone, but whichever method you choose, make sure you're both aware of where your money is, how it can be accessed, and by whom. • Debts — Both you and your spouse may be bringing * 1^. ■,’SbQ' I t 1 ’■1 ■ ■ ^'11^ I '^8) Mill) •WtllBft I 'V .

To pursue your strategy for reaching your objectives, each• of- you may •have to compromise somewhat on your “investment personali­ ty.” To achieve this balance, you may need to consult with a financial advisor.

You don’t have to try to radically change each other, but you both need-to be aware that your spending and saving decisions now have greater consequences than when you were both single.

I'm sure she was really excited about hitting a home run against Wayland, especially since they're an arch rival. She knows a lot of their players from growing up playing against them for four years playing varsity ball. It was a nice feeling to get a bit hit like that against them.” Lajcak led the TK attack in the loss, going 2-for-3.

They were just out­ standing in a all three (dis­ trict) games, and especially in that Wayland game.” “They were ready to play. Their confidence just kind of overwhelmed me. I was nervous and they didn't seem to be too bothered. They played really well.” TK took a 3-0 lead in the first inning of its win over Lakewood, thanks to an RBI single from Sandra Gerou and a two-run single off the bat of Thomas, which fol­ lowed singles by Bailey and 44 Lajcak.

He said if the grant is awarded but doesn’t cover all the costs, the village and township will have to decide at that time if it’s a worth­ while project or not.

But I do apologize for not expressing what I wanted to say.” Council member Sue Reyff said her concern is that there are already too many vacant buildings in the vil­ lage and vacating the town­ ship building only adds to the problem.

The transportation director will fill in as a lead mechanic. A part-time person will be hired at the bus garage. • A part-time position at the copy center will be eliminated. • The district is looking at about $30,000 in cuts to the athletic department, Enslen • * said no -­Advanced Placement classes are being cut, nor are any athletic pro­ grams, even though the ath­ letic department will have a reduction in funds.

Board president Dave Smith thanked the students for their courage to go to the board and share their con­ cerns. “None of us want to cut anything we don’t have to,” said Smith, and he assured es at tr are protected.

That's the only way 99 they're going to listen. Board member Anne Hamming encouraged the students to put their message on YouTube and reach out to others. “It's not just us here at TK. It’s not just 3,000 kids — it's kids all across the state being affected/' she said. Mike Hagerty from the Kent Intermediate School District who is acting finan­ cial director for the district, said the budget is based on several assumptions — any of which may change the outlook depending on how decisions are made by the and mostscenario. said he based budget figures on the latter, but cautioned that any of those assump­ tions being wrong can posi­ tively or negatively impact the budget. Hagerty credited the dis­ trict and the board for their ability to keep budget cuts away from students and classrooms as much as possi­ ble. He noted of 813 districts in the state, Thornapple Kellogg ranks 216th for per­ centage of funds spent per pupil in classrooms. “You have a really solid administrative team here. They get along well, process information well, and com­ municate with each other in making a lot of tou^h deci­ sions," said Hagerty. The district is not alone in financial concerns, he said; schools all across the country are being impacted by con­ tinued decreasing funds for public education.

As a member of Middleville Boy Scout Troop 105, Hoskins said he plans to work toward earning Palms available beyond Eagle. He has also joined the Wayland United Methodist Church Venturing Crew, which is a youth develop­ ment program of the Boy Scouts for young men and women, and plans to embark on more high-adventure camping and hiking trips with the older scouts. This summer he will travel with the Venturing Crew to the National Scout Camp in Philmont, N.M. While there, he will be backpacking five miles each day and doing a lot of fishing and other out­ door activities. “I'm really, looking for­ ward to it.

To earn the rank of Eagle, a Boy Scout must earn at least 21 merit badges, including 13 specific merit badges. He must advance through the ranks of Boy Scouts by holding offices within the troop, be active in the troop, and demonstrate the Scout Oath and Scout Law in daily life. Additionally, Eagle scouts must plan, prepare and lead a project that will benefit the community, and they must complete all requirements before their 18th -birthday. For his Eagle project, Hoskins made four picnic tables for Circle Pines Campground near Gun Lake - two picnic tables are handi­ cap-accessible, and the other two are standard tables. “It was a lot more difficult than 1 thought it was going to be, said Hoskins. “There was a lol of planning involved, and then you have to organize the work crews.

Hoskins said he got the idea for the picnic table proj­ ect because his aunt helps with music festivals at the campground, and she told him they needed more picnic tables. “It turned out pretty good I think. I’m happy with them,” he said. Hoskins joined Cub Scouts when he was 6 years old and then entered Boy Scouts in 2009. He advanced quickly through the ranks of Tenderfoot, Second Class, First Class, Star and Life scouts to get to his Eagle rank. In June 2013, he was elected by his fellow scouts to become a member of the Order of the Arrow. During his Scouting years, Hoskins has participated in many community service projects with the troop, including gathering items for the food pantry, helping with ceremonies, flag-burning participating in parades and roadside cleanup events and more.

Caledonia’s varsity base­ ball team saw its season end with a 2-1 loss to Kenowa Hills in the first of two Division I Regional Semifinal at contests R ockford High School Saturday. Caledonia reliever Trenton Foreman retired the first two batters in the inning, on a weak ground ball which he threw to first himself and a strike out. Noah Bauer pinch hit for the Knights and stepped to the box and knocked a little flare to right field which fell just between the Scots' diving second baseman Mitchell McCallum and sliding right fielder Drake Ellens. Chase Dunneback came in to run for the Knights, for Bauer at first. Zackaria Zobro walked to move Dunneback into scoring position, then Dunneback came home on an single to center field by Knight lead­ off hitter Kirk Brown. “We had a good run,” said Caledonia head coach Pat Gillies. “Hats off to Kenowa Hills, their entire team. They battled and their pitcher was outstanding, he kept us off balance. “Some of the things that we did last weekend to help us win a district champi­ onship, we didn’t do today. It was just some of the little things. We struck out with runners on second and third and nobody out. Last week we were able to move run­ ners and accomplish some good things. The credit goes to Kenowa Hills.” Zobro went the distance on the mound for the Knights, striking out nine while allowing nine hits. He walked one and hit one bat­ ter.

(Photo by Julie Makarewicz) by Julie Makarewicz Staff Writer Through the Kent Intermediate School District Kellogg Thornapple Schools, along with Godfrey Lee and Grand Rapids Public Schools, will share over the next three years an $855,643 physical education grant awarded from the U.S. Department of Education. KISD staff were instru­ mental in gathering informa­ tion and writing the grant. In all, 67 grants totaling more than $33 million were awarded to districts across the country. . Funding from the Carol M. White Physical Education program is intended to assist the schools with initiating, expanding, or enhancing physical education and nutri­ tion education programs, including after-school pro­ grams, for students in kinder- garten through 12th grades. Through these programs, it is expected that students will develop an appreciation for lifelong, healthy nutrition physical education and habits, and make progress toward meeting their state standards for physical educa­ tion. TK physical education instructor Lyndsey Fischer said she was shocked when she received word of the grant funding. “We submitted this grant about a year and a half ago and we didn't get it on the first round," said Fischer, “so we kind of forgot about it See GRANT, page 10 In This Issue... • Sewer bids nasty surprise to Caledonia Township Board • Independence Day celebration will kick off with truck pull • Teacher carries student names on with her ondemolition derby car • Records fall at 32nd National ✓ 24-Hour Challenge event I V V : �Page 2/The Sun and News, Saturday, June 21, 2014 TK union negotiations continue Assembled for their service projects at the Caledonia library are (front row, from left) Aiden Santiago, Anden Smith, Josh Santiago, (back) Jacob Banning, Aidan Straight and Brady Ruffner.

This year, there will be formal barriers separating children from the area.

Union president Ray Rickert told the board of education earlier this month that he feels the board and the unions ‘are working together. “We have made great strides in part from your out­ standing relationship with the staff to carry on the negosaid tiation process,” said Rickert. w that Rickert asked that Superintendent TomEnslen part of negotiation process rather than having the board bring in someone from outside the district to oversee the process. He said the staff is extremely disap­ pointed the board decided to bring in a non-district person to lead the talks. “We are a big family here at TK,” pointed out Rickert. “We take care of each other.” Speaking for the union, he said he was not opposed to having someone from outsjje come jn to help advise during the process, but want­ ed more in-house participa­ tion, as well. He reminded the board that the negotiation process last time did not go well and was a lengthy process, process. Former district finance director Chris Marcy was heavily involved in those negotiations. Rickert said he is pleased acting financial director Mike Hagerty has been involved in the process and said he would like him to continue working with the district. “It’s important to state that we consider Hagerty a part of the TK family,” said Rickert, who added that employees understand the financial situations. “We re all in this together. Rickert encouraged the board of education to continue to work with the employees to come to acceptable contract resolutions. After the meeting, Enslen said it was not uncommon for a district to have someone from outside a district lead contract negotiations and that it is also not uncom­ mon mon for for superintendents superintendents not not totobe be involved. involved. • Enslen said he's hopeful the board and unions will be able to come to a mutuallyacceptable contract resolution soon and said he wants there to be a strong relationship between employees, the board and administration. In other news: • The athletic department conducted a five-year gender equity audit. Athletic Director Dave Chrisinske said the audit makes sure there are equal and fair opportunities for male and female athletes. He said the district is in compliance. “It’s a good audit,” he reported. “Maybe it’s more than necessary, but it’s a good examination of what we have.” Of all high school stu­ dents, there are 51 percent of the male students who particpartic­ ipate ipateininatatleast leastone onesport sportand and 49 49 percent percentof offemales. females. • School board members said saidthey theywould wouldbe bewilling willingtoto consider possible sales of advertising on school athletic fields and events. Chrisinske said other schools have • allowed advertising as a way of securing funds. In the past, the TK board has not been open to the idea and 99 currently has a policy to not allow advertising in or around school property. Board president Dave Smith said the concern is about control over the messages being advertised. “It’s not to say we’re against it, but it would need to be done in the right way with controls,” he said, Board member Don Haney said he supports the idea that will raise money for the athletic department and allow local businesses anoth­ er avenue for exposure. • The board approved lunchprice increases as mandated by the state. The fees will increase from $2.10 to $2.20 per lunch for elemen­ tary students and from $2.75 to $2.85 per lunch for middle and high school students. • The board approved the purchase of Chromebooks and desktop computers through a statewide bidding process at a cost of $10,462. The district will purchase 200 Chromebooks and 10 desktop computers and mon­ itors, as well as licensing fees. • Enslen thanked high school principal Tony Koski for his years of service to the district and wished him luck at his new job. Enslen also offered a big thanks to Hagerty and the KISD for assistance during a difficult time, “Mike has gone so far above and beyond for us. He’s been here every time we've asked him to be and we just cannot thank him enough for what he's done and for his efforts,” said Enslen. Hagerty, assistant superin­ tendent at the KISD, served as the acting finance director for the district after former finance director Marcy left. "rf1 41^ $ 4 7^ fa? jll3* ■■M I I 15^ .

The statute of the hare sculpted by Aaron Bravata was broken from its stand; the hare, part of a hare and tortoise sculpture, was given in memory of the late Bill Harrison by his family and friends to honor his life­ long passion for education and children.

And to reach your financial goals, such as a comfortable retirement, you will also want to chart your course — by creating an investment strategy that is designed to help you work towards those goals based on your specific risk tolerance, investment preferences and time horizon. • Keep enough gas in the tank. As you set out on a road trip, you need a full tank of gas in your car, and you’ll have to keep refueling along the way. And to “go the dis­ tance" in pursuing your financial goals, you will need to have sufficient “fuel" in the form of investments with reasonable growth potential, Without a reasonable amount of growth-oriented vehicles in your portfolio, you could lose ground to inflation and potentially fall short of your objectives — so, over time, you may need to “refuel" by reviewing your portfolio and rebalancing if necessary. • Protect yourself from getting burned. If your vaca­ tion plans include a stay at the beach, you'll need to pro- Summer is almost here — which means it's officially vacation season. You may be looking forward to “getting away from it all," but, as you know, vacations actually require a fair amount of plan­ ning. And it might surprise you to learn that some of the efforts required for successful vacations can impart some valuable lessons in other areas of your life — such as investing. Here are some vacationrelated moves that you may want to transfer to the investment and financial arenas: • Secure your home. If you're going on vacation for a week or so, you may need to take some steps to safeguard your home: stopping your mail and newspaper, putting on a timer to turn on lights, alerting your neigh­ bors that you’ll be out of town, and so on. But while it’s important to secure your home today, you will also want to help ensure it will be there for your family in the future, should anything happen to you. That’s why you’ll want to maintain ade­ quate life and disability insurance. • Know your route. If you are driving to your vacation Saturday “Night Light” tect yourself and your family from the hot sun — so make sure you’re all using sun­ screen. When you invest, you can also get “burned" if you are not careful — especially if you are inclined to chase after “hot" investments. By the time you hear about these so-called sizzIers, they may already be cooling off, and, even more importantly, they just might not be appropriate for your goals and risk tolerance, Instead of becoming a “heatseeking" investor, focus your efforts on building a diversified array of quality investments appropriate for your needs. If you only own one type of financial asset, and a downturn hits that asset class, your portfolio could take a big hit. But by diversifying your holdings, you can help reduce the effects of volatility. Keep in mind, though, that diversification, by itself, can’t guarantee profits or protect against loss. As we’ve seen, some of the same principles that apply to creating a vacation may also be applicable to your investing habits.

The most extensive disdis­ cussion concerned the site plan review for the special use permit amending the Davenport University site, Plans for the expanded athletic complex facing 68th Street drew comments from commissioners, who were concerned about traffic, the effect upon nearby residents and safety, especially the 55mph speed limit, Vice Chair Mike Kelly conducted the meeting after Commission Chair Archie Warner excused himself on conflict of interest grounds because his firm is a vendor to Davenport. Commissioner Adam Paarlberg was also absent, leaving five members to conduct the review. Kelly asked about the impact on nearby residents. Damon Gonzales, vice-president - for facilities at Davenport, responded that the university was prepared to provide berms and that trees would provide screening. Kelly observed that a series of berms of different heights could lead to an irregular appearance. Trees, according to him, were fine until they were removed because they were not on the resident’s property. orooertv. Township planner Lynee Wells Observed the universi­ ty was prepared to meet with residents and discuss their concerns. Kelly moved on to con­ cerns about the non-motorized trail that is part of the planning by the township's Trails Committee. An exten­ sion of the right-of-way by the university and the Kent County Road Commission will ensure space for the trail to go forward. Commissioner Duane Gunnink addressed the traf­ fic issues, observing that written material from the Kent County Road Commission does not show the traffic lanes. Gunnink also wanted to know if a lower speed limit could be requested. Wells explained the standard used by the state to determine speed limits. The limit is set at the speed at which 85 percent of the traf­ fic is moving at a maximum speed of 55 mph. “1 don't want a Davenport security guard out in the middle of the street," Kelly observed. “I want flashing lights." His proposal was endorsed by Commissioner Don Koopmans, who agreed that flashing lights would slow the traffic. “We have to look at what is going to happen in the future, a big complex in a rural area," Gunnink added. “Fifty-five miles an hour is just plain stupid.

Earthquakes, tornados and even man-made disasters come to mind. We use tem­ porary antennas, emergency power and tents or campers for shelter.” The Barry Amateur Radio Association is a local club with roots dating back to the 1950s. They will have approximately nine stations demonstrating different areas of amateur radio at the park in Freeport — everything, he said, from longhaul voice and old-school Morse Code to satellite voice and data transmission. “We offer the opportunity for people to come out and see what amateur radio is all about and even the chance to get on the air,” said Yeo, adding that the field day is also a public information event. • There will be a demonstra­ tion table with posters and pictures explaining about amateur radio in general and the BARA in particular. “We encourage people to talk to the operators, ask questions and even pick up a microphone — with a licensed operator in atten­ dance, of course,” he said. “Experience the thrill of talk­ ing to someone far away through the magic of radio.” I I i 1 f i i } i i ! :V* < Make a date w* with Adventure MA rV *• ’ f®1 SAULT STE.

This year, students in Sarah Keizer’s fourth grade class at Page Elementary will have even more reason to visit. ' Their teacher is again entering the Powder Puff Demolition Derby and she’s taking all her students along Page. Elementary fourth grade teacher Sarah Keizer shows Mitchell Corner where he can paint his name on her Demolition Derby car. The Right Choicefor Rehab for the ride. Each student got to paint their first name on a spot on her purple and gray demolition car on the last day of school. “It needed a new paint job this year so I thought — why not?” said Keizer, who has participated in the fair’s Demolition Derby for about the last eight years. “It will be colorful.” Students rushed to the classroom window on paint­ ing day to see the beat-up purple car in the back row of the parking lot. They were given specific instructions on where they could paint their first names only. Oneby-one their names were added in vivid green, white, orange, yellow and red col­ ors. ' “I just thought it would be neat for them to paint their names on it,” related Keizer. “A lot of times my students come to watch anyway.” With dents all over the fenders and doors, the car may not be a thing of beauty, but Keizer said it will be spe­ cial this year to have the names of all her students on board with her when she takes to the track. > . U■ —* Jerilee Sheldon Jerilee needed rehab after her hospital­ ization and she chose The Laurels of Sandy Creek for her rehabilitation stay prior to returning home. When asked about her rehab stay she had great things to say! Seth Bainbridge finds a big spot on the back of the car for his name in bright yellow. In the past, she’s often had TK colors and the TK letters on the car, but this time she has something a little more personal. Keizer said it’s definitely going to be a oneof-a-kind car this year. She said the car used to belong to her sister, until she hit a deer. Then it became the demolition car. She admits she’s a little nervous about all the atten­ tion it might bring. “With all the names of the kids, I guess I’ll have to do well,” she said. • And she has done well in the past - winning the powder puff derby a couple of times. times. More importantly, she said she enjoys doing it. “It is a lot of fun - but I don’t go to other fairs or anything. Just Barry County,” she said, Keizer credits her hus­ band, Chad, with getting her started in the derby. “He was in, so he thought I should enter,” she said, “I said I would do it as long as this car keeps running. It’s still running.” She admits she’s a little worried about the added pressure of so much attention from her students and fami­ lies, but said it’s all for fun. She has been successful in past years, winning the derby more than once. Sarah Keizer helps plan out spacing for Blake Boyer’s name on the hood of the car. In the meantime, Paris Hale finds a good spot on the front fender. Her students thought it was a great idea and many of them said they’ll be cheer­ ing from the grandstands when the TK teacher takes the track. Some want their names to get “smacked” and others said they hope their name goes untouched. A I■ The demolition derby will be held at 7 p.m. Saturday, July 19. Tickets to the grandstand event are $9 per person. Admission to the fair is $5 for adults, $3 for senior citizens ages 60 and older, and free for children ages 12 and younger. a i; IV 11 1 t 1 ffl if < I I Augustine Abshagen (front) and Lily Foy make sure their names can be seen on the side of their teacher’s car. ’ •• I J I 4 '^1 % A',:. “All the therapists are GREAT!

Every one of us has been impacted, either personally or by knowing some­ one very close to us who has been touched by cancer. In 2008, Dr. Hannapel was diagnosed with a form of bone cancer in his knee. He is humbled to call himself a survivor. Dr. Hannapel says, "As a cancer survivor, I feel that there is a great need by all to focus on the research and development of cancer. Cancer touches all of us, and when you raise funds it brings aware­ ness. I am impressed with how my younger patients understand this cause and we are hoping this will influence the future generation to continue the fight." I J L i I I < IS! !■! I A Our team has been fortunate to partner with many local dentists in Caledonia and the surrounding area. Each office made a donation to our event and they were able to honor can­ cer survivors and victims by putting their names on the back of a t-shirt. We also encouraged our patients to wear purple to their orthodontic appointments during the month of May, to help raise awareness. For each patient that wore purple, Dr. Hannapel made a $1.00 donation to the Van Andel Institute. We also had many of our patients purchase shirts and make a dona­ tion to the Van Andel Institute Purple Community. In total, we raised $5,155!

Fischer said she’s not cer­ tain exactly how the funds will be used yet. She’s still waiting on more specific information from the govern­ ment, but said the goal is to use the funds to help enhance physical education and nutri­ tion education district-wide. She credited staff at KISD with doing most of the work to write the grant. Kent ISD staff will partner with Grand Valley State University and possibly the Kent County Health Department to implement some of the grant requirements, said Fischer. All five schools in the TK district - including three ele­ mentary schools, the middle school and high school will each get approximately $20,000 for each of the next three years. Fischer said she hopes to have a definite plan in place by the start of the 2014-15 school year. “It’s very exciting. It’s just kind of crazy,” she said. “We know we have this grant, but we’re still waiting to find out exactly what they’ll let us do with it.” Fischer said the funds will provide opportunities for stu­ dents to have even more access to learning about healthy lifestyles and choices. She said much of the nutrition information will be included in physical educa­ tion classes. “It’s a great opportunity for us,” added Fischer. “We want to be able to start some­ thing that we can sustain beyond the three years.” According to an announcement about the grants, recipients must implement programs that help students make progress toward meeting their state standards for physical education. In addition, these programs must undertake instruction in healthy eating habits and good nutrition, physical fitness activities. "A healthy, active lifestyle is an important ingredient of academic success," U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan is quoted in informa­ tion provided about the grant. "These grants are a resource to help schools and communities develop pro­ grams that teach students the importance of staying active and developing healthy lifestyles. We need more states, districts, schools and communities to recognize the critically important role of physical education in improving student engage­ ment and achievement.” KISD and Lansing Public Schools were the only Michigan school programs to receive the grant. erant. aiist& I I'.'

This report is a snapshot of the quality of water that we provided to you in 2013. Included are details about where your water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to EPA and State stan­ dards. Our goal is to provide you a safe, dependable supply of drinking water. Trained, state certi­ fied personnel operate your water utility. It is our pleasure to provide you a safe abundant water supply. . _ . General Information S vAj * • a U P 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 located off Irving Rd. at the base of the old ski hill. Production well # 1 on Irving Road 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 Thomapple River. This well is built to a depth of 197 feet. .. k ft 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). Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general popula­ tion. Immune-compromised person such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, per­ sons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system dis­ orders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These persons should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appro­ priate means to lessen risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791). % SV Contaminants and Sources * The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. 1 k 1a to I 4 iSEj »»»« Date AL MCLG Our water # of sites above AL Lead 9/2012 15 ppb 6 ppb 0 Copper 9/2012 1300 ppb 0 1300 ppb 180 ppb 0 Radiological Date Test Result Violation MCLG MCL Gross Alpha 10/2001 <1.4 No 0 15 pCi/1 Radium 226 10/2001 0.1 No 0 5 pCi/1 Radium 228 10/2001 10/2001 1.4 _ 0 0 5 pCi/1 L ran i u m _No__ 0.6 No 30 pCi/1 Detected Range Violation 0.080ppm ND NO 9/10/2013 0.080ppm .0-.0006ppm NO Total Trihalomethanes 9/10/2013 0.080ppm .0-.0006ppm NO Dichlorobromethane 4* 9/10/2013 0.080ppm ND NO Date MCL Chlorodibromomethane 9/10/2013 Chloroform___________ Contaminant Chlorine or Chloramines J F M Bacteriological sample site # 1 Bacteriological sample site # 2 Bacteriological sample site # 3 Average of all measurements taken in the month Chlorine or Chloramines Bacteriological sample site # 1 Bacteriological sample site # 2 acteriological sample site # 3 Average of all measurements taken in the month RAA calculated quarterly of 12 monthly averages.______ N/A for RAA in year covered by CCR A .83 .43 .56 M .57 .45 .63 2012 J J .51 .45 .29 .15 .56 .14 .43 .64 .45 S .71 24 .44 O .64 .34 .31 .35 .38 .11 D .26 .30 .21 .25 .58 .46 .43 .28 .26 26 .30 .48 .40 .21 .20 .48 .37 .31 .29 .21 .34 .35 .28 .16 .39 .35 .27 .35 .31 .26 .49 .30 .28 .28 .14 .38 ,60 21 .41 .11 .46 .35 .33 .33 .36 .27 .43 .31 .40 .34 .36 N A .55 .66 .54 2013 .38 .51 .21 .40 .33 .26 .52 .21 4 .33 .33 Contaminants that may be present in source water include: • Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife.

In order to insure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water, which must provide the same pro­ tection for public health. Definitions: Water Terminology 0 1- • N/D: Non-Detects - laboratory analysis indicates the contaminant is not present • ppm or mg/1: parts per million or milligrams per liter 0 mg/1: one part per million corresponds to a single penny in $10,000 X • ppb: parts per billion or micrograms per liter • 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 • A/L: 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 drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as fea­ sible 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.

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. 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 lev­ els 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. Lead: If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. The Village of Middleville is responsible for pro­ viding 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, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is 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 evaluates 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 susceptibility 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. We are committed to providing you safe, reliable, and healthy water. We are pleased to provide you with this information to keep you informed about your water.

Holy buckets!” That was the message tan­ dem rider Dave Hammer from Urbandale, Iowa, had for the volunteers at the first check-point of the 32nd Annual National 24-Hour Challenge Saturday morning at Lakewood Middle School. Hammer had just rolled in with tandem partner Kyle Robinson from Ankeny, Iowa. The sun was shining, there was hardly a cloud in the sky. Dozens of riders peeled off layers as they got set for the second leg of the first loop of the weekend's endurance cycling event. The first loop took riders from the Thomapple Kellogg Middle School (TKMS), through downtown Middleville, through down­ town Freeport for the first time, to the first check-point at Lakewood Middle School. From there riders went on to check-points at Baseline United Methodist Church and the Delton Library before returning to TKMS. Loop two took riders from TKMS to the Yankee Springs State Recreation Area and back. Riders were then set to complete as many cycles around loop three as they could, a track covering a couple country blocks around TKMS in Middleville. Event registrar Pete Steve called the weather “near-per­ fect.” It was that way from the start at TKMS Saturday morning and continued that way throughout the evening and into Sunday morning as 291 riders took part. The near-perfect conditions meant impressive results. “The normal field average has been consistently in the 220s, but this year reached into the 260s,” said Steve. The 500-mile mark was bested for just the second year in the event’s history, J An 'A ? •.

Fleury said the low' response rate may be because the sur­ vey was conducted on-line. She said hard copies were available, but were not mailed out to households this year as in the past survey year. Still, village leaders said theY Jind the information useful and will consider the responses when making decisions. The responses for the three most-liked things about the village are the same three responses offered three years ago when the last survey was by Julie Makarewicz Staff Writer Middleville village resi­ dents cited the small town character, parks and trails and the schools as the three most-liked aspects of their community in a recent sur­ vey conducted by the village. Although there was less participation in the survey than they would have village officials said they believe the information is useful and will help direct them in decision making. Village Manager Rebecca Fleury said the survey's response rate was just 9 per­ cent or 95 responses. She added, however, that the taken. Survey participants were also asked about what services they felt were most needed in Middleville. Responses included a hardware store, bakery, lawn and garden center, fitness center, walk­ in out-patient clinic, hobby and crafts and family recre­ ation opportunities. According to the survey, the three things needing improvement most in the vil­ lage are roads, taxes and more restaurants. The Farmers Market, Heritage Days, the Riverbank Music Series, the Memorial Day parade and the Christmas parade, as well as the Holly Trolley, were cited cited as as the the most most valuable valuable events events inin Middleville. Middleville. Relating to the village government, most residents indicated a desire to consoli consoli-­ date or merge services with Thornapple Township to save tax money particularly in tax collection, manage­ ment, utility billing and code enforcement. Survey takers rated the village govern­ ment's performance of duties as good, which is up from average in the last survey. They also listed the top three services provided by the village as providing quality water supply, snow removal and street maintenance. Fleury said there is a lot of information to glean from the survey even if it represents a small percentage of village residents. She said there was no cost for the survey other 'than staff time. The on-line survey tool is free but, she pointed out, if surveys were mailed out to residents in the future, there would be considerable mailing expense involved. In 2011, when the last sur­ vey was taken, the village received a 31 percent return rate. Fleur} said those sur­ veys were mailed to resi­ dents. She also said that sur­ vey was taken in the fall of Western Week swings through Caledonia the year rather than spring and she w ondered if the tim­ ing also played a part in the lower turnout. Other survey results: • 43.6 percent of survey takers say they visited a vil­ lage park 2 to 5 times in the pat year; 22.34 percent said they v isited 12 or more times per year. • Results for park improvements were fairly even. When asked if resi­ dents would consider contributing to a fundraising effort to improve the parks, 39.7 percent said yes, 27 per­ cent said no, and 31.1 per­ >* See SURVEY, pg. 3 —A — F f J\ k I V \u I & All ♦ _ I 1 .C MEH OKI A.

Could you afford to live to 100? Here’s an interesting sta­ tistic: Over the past three decades, the centenarian population in the United States has grown about 66%, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Of course, this does­ n't necessarily mean that you have a good chance of living to 100 — but the possibility may not be as remote as it once was. In any case, if you do plan to retire in your mid60s, and you are in good health, you may well have two, or even three, decades ahead of you. To enjoy this time to the fullest — and to help prevent the possibility of outliving your financial resources — you will need to invest for income and growth throughout your retirement years. As a retiree, how much income do you need from your investments? There’s no one “right” percentage for everyone. Furthermore, you shouldn’t have to rely solely on your investment portfolio, because you may have other sources such as Social Security and potentially your employer-sponsored retire­ ment plan — from which to draw income. Nonetheless, your investments can play a big role in providing you with the income you’ll need during retirement. Many retirees depend on fixed-rate investments for a good portion of their retire­ ment income — so it’s a real challenge when interest rates are low, as they have been for the past several years. Consequently, when you retire, you’ll certainly need to be aware of the interest­ rate environment and the income you can expect from these investments. 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. Ultimately, you’ll likely need a balance between short-, intermediate- and fixed-income long-term investments to provide for a portion of your income in retirement. While it’s important to invest for income, you can’t ignore the need for growth — because you won’t want to lose purchasing power to inflation. As you know we’ve experienced quite mild inflation recently. 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, they will be about $4,000 in 10 years with only a 3% annual inflation rate. 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 against inflation risk, NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE THE MICHIGAN STRATEGIC FUND ISSUANCE OF LIMITED OBLIGATION REVENUE BONDS ON BEHALF OF MIDDLEVILLE TOOL & DIE CO. AND MIDDLETON ENTERPRISES, L.L.C. The Michigan Strategic Fund (the "MSF") will hold a public hearing at 9:00 a.m. on July 15, 2014, at the MSF's offices located at 300 North Washington Square, 4th Floor, Lansing, Michigan 48913 on the proposed issuance of bonds by the MSF on behalf of Middleville Tool & Die Co., a Michigan corporation ("MTD"), and Middleton Enterprises, L.L.C., a Michigan limited liability company ("ME" and, collectively with MTD, the "Companies"), to assist the Companies in: (1) financing and refinancing the costs of: (a) constructing an approximately 53,000 square foot addition to ME’s manufacturing facility locat­ ed at 1900 Patterson Road, Township of Yankee Springs, Barry County, Michigan (the "Addition"), and (b) acquiring and installing machinery, equipment, and furnishings for the Addition (collectively, the "Project"); and (2) paying all or a por­ tion of the costs of issuing such bonds. The Project will be col­ lectively owned and operated by the Companies and used for MTD's tooling and stamping fabrication operations. The bonds are proposed to be issued in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $6,300,000, of which approximately $3,940,000 will be applied to finance the costs contemplated in description (1 )(a) above and approximately $2,234,000 will be applied to finance the costs contemplated in description (1 )(b) above (with the remainder applied to finance the costs contemplated in description (2) above). The bonds shall be limited obligations of the MSF, payable only from loan repayments to be made by the Companies to the MSF and other security provided by the Companies. The bonds will not constitute an indebtedness of the State of Michigan, the County of Barry, or the Township of Yankee Springs within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory provision and will not constitute or give rise to a charge against the general credit of the MSF or the credit or taxing power of the State of Michigan, the County of Barry, or the Township of Yankee Springs. The MSF has no taxing power. The hearing shall provide the fullest opportunity for expression of opinion, for argument on the merits, and for intro­ duction of documentary evidence pertinent to the nature and location of the Project and the proposed issuance of the bonds. Written comments will be accepted by the MSF but must be received on or before the time and date of the hearing. Dated: June 27,2014 I I 4 I* I 068451001 Diane E. Cranmer, Authorized Officer Michigan Strategic Fund • (517)373-2778 you should consider having at least some investments that offer growth potential, rather than only owning fixed-income vehicles. And some investment vehicles, such as dividend-paying stocks, can offer both growth potential and current income, In fact, some stocks have paid, and even increased, their dividends for many years in a row, giving you not just income, but rising income. (Keep in mind, though, that companies are not obligated to pay dividends, and can reduce or dis­ continue them at any time.) To determine the right mix of growth and income vehi­ cles for your individual needs, consult with a finan­ cial advisor who is familiar with your retirement plans, your risk tolerance and your family situation. And it may well be a good idea to plan for a very long retirement. You may not live to be 100 — but it would be a good feeling to know that you could afford to do so.

The Department of of Natural Resources today announced that a new Web application designed to edu­ cate anglers and fisheries professionals on local and regional trends in abundance, growth and survival of important fish populations in selected streams across Michigan is available for public use. The application was developed by the DNR’s Fisheries Division and incor­ porates data collected from a network of fish population survey sites, with data for some sites going back to 1947. ’ “The new Stream Fish Population Trend Viewer features more than 40 streams that represent a range of conditions in terms of stream size, temperature and Great Lakes access,” said Troy Zorn, DNR fish­ eries research biologist. “The focus is on streams with long-term data and naturally reproducing populations of trou", Great Lakes salmonids or smallmouth bass to pro­ vide users with information on self-sustaining fish popu­ lations around the state. Since trends in stream fish populations are largely influ­ enced by regional climate and flow conditions, repeat­ edly going back to the same locations annually provides a clear understanding of trends in a stream. Users will be able to see what the popula­ tion trends are in different areas of the state by compar­ ing trends for key sites in each region. For fishery managers, understanding regional trends is critical to determine the best course of management on these streams, as well as interpret­ ing survey data on streams that are surveyed less fre­ quently. Understanding,these trends is equally important to anglers, watershed or conser­ vation groups, and the pub­ lic. Anglers, fisheries profes­ sionals and the public will be able to look up a river and see what the most recent 0684509 8196 BROADMOOR AVE. CALEDONIA, MI 49316 Caledonia township .

The council is debating the purchase of equipment in order to remove snow from village sidewalks in addition to the village streets. The vil­ lage has about 17 miles of sidewalks, according to Department of Public Works Director Duane Weeks. Weeks estimates it will take the village crews about 16 hours to plow all the sidewalks per snow event. He estimates the cost to the village to be about $21,000 per year, including DPW labor. Weeks said one snowplow driver spends about 300 hours per snow season clearing streets within the village and he expects that clearing sidewalks would take about the same amount of time. Weeks said the village would likely have to pur­ chase upgraded equipment at an estimated cost of $38,000 to $40,000. He also said cur­ rent equipment might be traded in for some savings. Council members said they have a lot of questions before they’re ready to take a vote on the proposal and asked Weeks to gather input from other communities, possible outside contractors and other resources for their August committee of the whole meeting. The village currently has an ordinance requiring property owners to clear their own sidewalks in front of their property after snow events. Enforcement is sometimes difficult and village officials have pondered other ways of keeping the sidewalks clear. Council member Mike Lytle said he’s concerned about spending so much money on sidewalk snow removal when the money could be spent on keeping roads in better repair. “I’m not for it, I think we could use the'money fixing roads.” maintained Lytle. “But I'm willing to listen and to see what it costs and maybe you can change my mind.” Weeks said it's hard to estimate the number of hours needed for the job and it See wvv DEBATE, i/turi f page 2 The color guard from Caledonia Post 305, American Legion, is followed by some members of the Sons of the American Legion on motorcycles.

The 2,100 square-foot space will provide a new^ office for Dr. Eric Seif, a chiropractor. His profession meets one of the requirements set for the lot, namely that it be limited to a pro- 1 liud I 3d) iV R noD * fessional office. Most of the discussion between the applicant, the commissioners, and planner Mark Sisson was focused on the driveway and on the requirement for installing a sidewalk. Doug Stolsonburg, repre­ senting Seif, observed that having the driveway on Vine Street, a residential street, was a lesser evil than placing it on Emmons Street so close to traffic turning into Emmons from Cherry Valley Avenue (M(M­ 37). sidewalk. the Commissioner Gayle Ott add commented the tree on the However, he did not see the southeast corner of Vine utility of a sidewalk that did Emmons and would not connect to another side­ obstruct the vision of driv- walk at either end.

Ultimately, the commis­ sioners all agreed that the policy should be enforced. A final issue was the position of the sign for the office. Currently, its place­ ment on the plans indicate it will be parallel to Cherry Valley Avenue. Dr. Seif would prefer the sign to be perpendicular to the road for greater visibility. Sisson said the change would require a special-use perRequirements for mit. notice of a public hearing could be met in time for the commission to consider the request at its July meeting. The other change in the plans was the incorporation of a suggestion by village engineer Paul Galdes to move a catch basin from the parking area to the green space to permit the ground to filter the runoff from the area before the water enters the storm sewer system. Hicks moved to approve the building. Ott supported the motion and commissioners approved unanimously. Middleville man held after high-speed chase ends in deadly crash by Julie Makarewicz Staff Writer A 19-year-old Middleville man is being held in the Barry County Jail on $1 mil­ lion bond after reportedly fleeing police and causing an accident that killed another driver. I Matthew Eric Nosanov, 19, was formally arraigned Monday morning in Barry County District Court after the early Saturday morning incident. He is charged with operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, causing a death; fleeing police officers, firat degree, causing a death; and reckless driving, causing a death. The name of the deceased t, i I I Matthew Eric Nosanov driver of the other vehicle is not being released, as offi­ cials say notification to the family is still pending. The deceased driver is believed to have been on his way to work at a nearby farm at the time of the accident. The accident, at about 3:45 a.m. Saturday, June 28, occurred at the intersection of Patterson and Bass roads southwest of Middleville at the Barry/Allegan county line. Nosanov, being pursued by police, was speeding at more than 90 miles per hour at times during the roughly five-mile chase when he failed to stop at the intersec­ tion and collided with a southbound vehicle on Patterson Avenue, according to Barry County Sheriff’s Department. The impact forced both vehicles west of Patterson Road into Allegan County, The driver of the second vehicle was* pronounced dead at the scene. Nosanov was taken to a Grand Rapids hospital for injuries and later released. Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf said an officer northbound on M-37 noticed a vehicle'approaching quickly behind him. The officer pulled off to the side of the highway and the vehicle passed. The officer then began following Nosanov at a high rate of speed. Near McCann Road, the officer reportedly activated lights and then a siren, trying to stop the vehicle, but Nosanov continued speeding northward on M-37. Leaf said Nosanov reportedly used his turn signal when he approached Adams Road and turned west off M M-­ 37, but continued to speed « away from the officer. The chase continued west on Adams Road to Cherry PD4 CM naao Q see Lff/on, page y *> In This Issue...

In a recent survey of vil­ lage residents, snow removal was seen as one of the most important services from the village, Two respondents specifically wrote in remarks about the need for sidewalk show removal. Council members ques­ tioned whether all the side­ walks in the village could be done or how the village workers would prioritize which sidewalks to clear first. “Let’s not be so negative and look at this as a posi­ tive,” said Reyff. She reminded the council that, on their recent visit to Fremont as part of the Mayor Exchange program, they learned that Fremont offers sidewalk snowplowing and has done so successfully for about 16 years. 06845568 I * i « < TK Public Library BAG AL’ 3885 Bender Rd., Middleville 71yW/v AxK Tuesday, July 8th • A iQbxiso ► I Noon to 7:30pm । Lots of gently used books thrill — - —, = » % GENERAL PUBLIC IS WELCOME!

Weeks suggested that, if the council decides to implement sidewalk snowplowing, the village should continue to strongly encourage resi­ dents to remove snow on sidewalks in front of their properties to allow the DPW staff to target the most heavily used areas first and to determine if the staff can plow all the sidewalks adequately with one piece of equipment.

I hope we can show them that we have a lot of nice things here, too.” The guests are expected to be in Middleville about 9 a.m. and have a day planned full of sights and visits. Some of the planned activities currently include a tour of the village hall and Farmers Market, a trolley tour around with^stops at the Wildwood Park, the Riverfront Redevelopment Park, the Depot, and Spring Park. Village officials are also working to give their visitors a glimpse inside the Thornapple Kellogg school and public library as well as the auditorium at the high school. Visitors will also get to see part of Bradford White’s training center and possibly, have a catered Itmch at the Emergency Services building. Other tours of area businesses are also being considered. The guests will have a chance to walk along the Laul Henry Thomapple Trail and view the fishing docks.

And they came up with thefir own list of what they consider the “Seven Wonders of Middleville.” Keizer said it’s a writing, research, and history project all in one. Once the class voted on its seven wonders, classmates visited each site in groups to gather information and write up reports about their site. Keizer said it’s completely up to the students to decide what they think are impor­ tant and unique areas of the community — whether a business or natural feature. She’s assigned the project for a few years, and it has become a favorite for the stu­ dents who work on it toward the end of the school year. This year, the class deter­ mined the following as the “Seven Wonders of Middleville:” The Thornapple Township Hall, I r L % A* 'V to & & % $ The Erb House and its 150-year history is one of the seven wonders.

Thornapple Township Hall “The Town Hall is basi­ cally the heart and soul of Middleville. This makes it a itiile Hit0 mi wonder,” wrote Grace McNabnay in the class proj­ ect. Students who researched this wonder learned that Middleville was founded by Calvin Hill in 1838 and that the village got its name by being in the middle between jgjisa // Be "SENSIBLE , about your water!

They learned the township hall was once a grocery store, then a hardware store before becoming the town­ ship hall. Paul Henry Trail The trail was seen by the students as a unique recre­ ation area. “The Paul Henry Trail is a wonder because I like how it is by the river and there is a lot of animals to see,” wrote Chase Dannenberg. “The fact that the Paul Henry Trail used to be a train track and now it’s something that people like to go to every day makes it a won­ der,” wrote Collin Wright. Keanna Dudik, Grant Woods and Collin Wright researched about the trail and found that it is 3.8 miles long and that along the path peo­ ple can see turtles sunning themselves on logs in the river, watch birds and see other wildlife. Chase Dannenberg and Nick Vreeland also wrote about the trail and how it may someday become part of a 42-mile long trail. The Erb House The Erb House is a wonIL der because it’s been a part of Middleville for 150 years,” wrote Jillian Gorodenski. a Along with Gorodenski, Lane Kaminski and Augustine Abshagen toured the home and wrote about it. “Mrs. Erb, the current owner and our tour guide didn't even change the house. She appreciates the character of the textures, the paint, stained glass windows, chandelier, high ceiling and the original parts of the house,” they wrote. Olivia Landry and Jessica Durkee wrote about other features of the home. “For Christmas, 20 to 30 decorat­ ed trees sit in their windows. The Erb family also makes quilts and they are on the beds in many of the rooms,” the students wrote, The home was built by a Keeler family in the 1800s and still stands in the village today.

Still, we have to keep work­ ing to earn some freedoms — such as financial freedom, But by making the right moves, you may eventually enjoy your own Financial Independence Day. Here are a few such moves to consider: • Set free your vision. Your first step in moving toward financial independence is to establish a vision of what this freedom might look like. Ask yourself some key ques­ tions: When do I want to retire? What do I want to do during my retirement years? How can I be confident that I won't outlive my financial resources? The answers can help you develop a clear pic­ ture of where you want to go — which will make it much easier to create a financial strategy for getting there. • Liberate your full invest­ ment capabilities. Right noW) y°u maY have good investment opportunities that you are not fully exploiting. For example, are you con­ tributing as much as you can afford to your IRA and your 401(k) or other employersponsored plan? And when your income goes up, are you increasing your contributions to these accounts? Both an IRA and a 401(k) offer tax advantages and a variety of investment options, so try to get as much out of these plans as you can. • Avoid the “bondage" of a non-diversified portfolio. If you only own a few types of investments, you are restrict­ ing your opportunities — and probably taking on too much risk. If a downturn pri­ marily affects just one or two asset classes, and most of your investment dollars are tied up in those assets, your portfolio could take a big hit. But if you “free up” your holdings by diversifying across a range of investments — stocks, bonds, govern- ment securities, certificates of deposit and so on — you may give yourself more chances for success while reducing the effects of mar­ ket volatility on your portfolio. (Keep in mind, though. that diversification' cannot guarantee profits or prevent losses.) • Unshackle yourself from debt. It's not always easy to lower your debt burden, but it’s worth the effort. The lower your monthly debt payments, the more money you will have available to invest for the future — and for your ultimate financial freedom. So look for ways to consolidate, and reduce, your debts. • Escape from disability and long-term care expenses, Few events can threaten your financial ‘independence as much as a disability or the need for long-term care, such as a nursing home stay. Even a short disability and time away from work can wreak havoc on your financial situ­ ation. And an extended stay in a nursing home can be hugely expensive. In fact, the national average for a private room in a nursing home is nearly $84,000 per year, according to a recent survey by Genworth, a financial security company. To defend yourself against the threat of disability or the expense of long-term care, you may want to consult with a finan­ cial advisor, who can recom­ mend the appropriate protec­ tion vehicles. The Fourth of July is a fes­ tive occasion. But you'll have even more reason to celebrate once you can declare your own financial independence. So, do what it takes to speed the arrival of that day.

VO0 1 021c Tlnuoo isM lo nog nw£G albbiM Staff Writer The Barry County fair­ grounds will benefit from the Eagle projects of two Boy Scouts from Middleville Troop 105, who also happen to be active members of the Barry Good Critters and Crafts 4-H Club in Middleville. “I wanted to tie the Boy Scouts and the 4-H together since I am very active in both of them,” said Kyle Makarewicz, son of Mark and Julie Makarewicz. Makarewicz, who will be a junior at Thornapple Kellogg High School in the fall, replaced many of the cracked or damaged boards in the bleachers used in the show arena. He raised money by obtaining donations from many area.businesses. Scouts assisted him with removing the old boards from the bleachers and then 4-H club members and scouts assisted with painting the bleachers just in time for fair. Makarewicz has been involved in several 4-H projects for nine years including showing pigs, dairy, dairy feeder, poultry and rabbits. He’s taken several other non­ livestock projects as well. When he’s not involved in Boy Scouts and 4-H, Kyle also runs track and cross country at TKHS. Merle Simmons III is the son of Merle Simmons II and Dawn Simmons of Middleville. He will be a by Fran Faverman Kyle Makarewicz (left) and Merle Simmons (right) are both members of the Barry Good Critters and Crafts 4H club and also the Middleville Boy Scout Troop 105. Both decided to organize and oversee projects at the fairgrounds to complete their Eagle rank requirements. Makarewicz will be a junior at Thornapple Kellogg High School and Simmons will be a senior. senior at TK high school this fall. His Eagle Scout project was to build and install a trophy case and bulletin board area for the dairy bam. “I have shown dairy cattle for the past six years at the Barry County Fair and always was confounded by the fact that every other bam had nice cases to display their trophies proudly all fair week,” said Simmons. “It didn’t seem fair to the gener­ ous trophy sponsors not to have their contributions on display for public viewing.” Simmons has been active Staff Writer The two-year saga of the Cuddy Drain appeared to have reached a beginning of the end point at a meeting of the Inter-County Drain Board this past Thursday morning in Yankee Springs Township. Members of the board are Allegan County Drain Commissioner Denise Medemar, Barry County Commissioner Drain Russell Yarger, and Brady Harrington, Michigan Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development. The intention of the Barry and Allegan County Road Commissions to fix two badly rusted steel culverts on Patterson Road to avoid having the road collapse quickly became a demon­ stration of the law of unin­ tended consequences when the design for a 4-by-16foot concrete box culvert became known. Property owners on Gun Lake in Yankee Springs Township and the Gun Lake Association Protective already active because of the previous summer's E. Coli issues pointed out that the proposed solution to one problem would aggravate already existing problems with debris and contamina­ tion of the lake. Wayland Both and Yankee Springs Townships petitioned the respective drain commissioners and the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, which has a significant role in the state's Drain Code. The creation of the Inter-County Drain Board was created. The original design was set aside while the other issues were considered. Land Dan Phelps, Resources Resources Engineering, briefly reviewed the goals of the project: limiting the debris flowing into Gun Lake and affecting navigation and swimming; reduc­ ing e-coli contamination, and achieving a fair and equitable distribution of the costs to the affected resi­ dents of both counties. The addition to the proj­ ect of dredging a channel at Island Drive did create confusion some ’ initial because it is not part of a drain and therefore outside the purview of Yarger. Harrington suggested having costs for the project be calculated with and without the -Island Drive channel work. The commissioners approved his approach, A major decision for the board was the apportion­ ment of costs. Phelps explained that the $1.2 million cost would be split 50­ 50 between the counties. The board approved a motion splitting the costs between residents in both counties. Responding to a request from a Gun Lake resident for a ballpark num­ ber, the assessment on the Barry County side is likely to be about $3,000 per par­ cel. Estimated costs in Allegan county were not discussed. Removing sediment and silt requires a place to deposit the material. Phelps said the material did not present any hazardous issues and therefore could be stored openly. The dis­ cussion of disposal sites was extensive and involved seven possible properties ranging in size from almost three acres to seven acres. A consideration is the cost of acquiring a site. The board approved a motion to have Phelps begin the process of exploring possible options. Following that motion the board went into executive to discuss the possible acquisition of spe­ cific properties. Following. the executive session the board adjourned. No date has been set for its next meeting. V I I I See SCOUTS, pg. 13 162nd Barry County Fair underway this weekend Carveth Village allowed PUD change for more parking by Julie Makarewicz West Main Street. ’The remaining portion of the lot, which includes an existing house, bam and out build­ ing, will remain as a sepa­ rate parcel. Rezoning a portion of the site allows for an additional 27 parking spaces for Carveth Village employees and four additional miscel­ laneous parking spaces. In discussion concerning the bam, Ray Peters, general manager of Carveth, said the structure is in bad condition and it may be too costly to repair. He said there has been some interested parties asking about removing the bam and restoring it else­ where. The village put a condi­ tion in the site plan approval by Julie Makarewicz Staff Writer Carveth Village will be allowed to rezone a portion of an adjacent lot and make it part of the overall Planned Unit Development for its property. The Village Council approved the Planning Commission's recommen­ dation for the change Tuesday night that will enable Carveth to use the site for additional parking. There was discussion about the fate of the old bam that is part of the property and is now owned by Carveth Village. The change allows own­ ers of Carveth to rezone a portion of 704 West Main Street into its PUD for 690 I of the PUD, that something be done with the barn within two years. That means it may either be torn down, moved from the site, or refurbished. Village council members agreed not to impose a bond to guarantee the work is done. “The Planning Commission feels it is mak­ ing a good faith effort,” said Village Manager Rebecca Fleury. “It is a condition of the site plan that can be enforced by the village if needed.” Council member Joyce Lutz reminded the council that, originally, the council tried to mandate the bam be restored. She said that led to See PARKING, pg.

Jerkatis concurred, noting that each of the board members had been trained on the recently purchased and installed automatic electronic defibrillator and that this training should be concurrent with CPR classes. “We bring the public into these buildings, such as for elections, therefore we should all be trained incase of emergency,” said Jerkatis “Its easy to use, the instructions are right there. In support of all of the board members and officials being trained on it, so should we all be trained in CPR, or re-cer­ tified, if that is the case.” A motion for the township to subsidize up to $400, or $20 per Yankee Springs township resident, was made noting a limit of the subsidy to the first 20 persons who register with the township office for the class, and reserving the the first first 12 12 spots spots reserving for for township township officials officials and and election personnel. The cost for the class per person is $35. Four of the five board members approved the motion, with Englerth votin >11 no. * The board retained Seigfried Crandall as the auditor for the township and approving its yearly fee of $9,250. • The board opened the only bid received by the township thus far, quoting a price to replace the township hall roof with a standing seam metal roof. Trumbull Builders submitted a proposal, quoting a cost of $32,830 to perform the work, “I had forwarded the spec­ ifications to at least five different contractors and advertised for bids, over the last two months. We received one back,” explained Jerkatis. • The board heard updates on the Cutty Intercounty Drain progress with Englerth explaining, “We are past this milestone situation. It’s not perfect but the solution is the best fit for everyone. There will be rate increases in the near future. I have met with an engineer to discuss the best approach to dealing with old and corrod­ ing pipes. The endless test­ ing to find the problems (leaking, broken pipes) is more expensive than just replacing the 13-15 pipes left to be done. The problem of the pipes is we need to cor­ icut mcni. Currently currently as a rect them. township, we are responsible for the pipes all the way to the meter on the home. If a pipe burst, we are responsi­ ble for repairing, including any landscaping that may be needed to repair digging it 44 up, and any flooding that could occur in basements of homes. We need to correct these pipes first, before we even consider changing the ordinance to place more of the liability on the property owner.” Englerth added that no dredging or bridge work planned within the project would be done this year, as more studies are being done including the next steps to negotiate easements and land acquisitions for sediment basin and dredge disposal site(s), a complete topographic survey, submission of Michigan Department of Environmental Quality per­ mit application and a study andgrant application for E. Coli Coli monitoring, Construction is not anticipat­ ed to begin until late this fall, with completion planned for fall of 2015. • Englerth said the natural gas powered generator is in place at the firesta­ tion, with plans to learn its programming and test firing scheduled for sometime next week. Englerth noted that water tower pumps stopped communicating with the computers sometime last week, as a result of the storm that knocked out the power to the township hall and area last week. All involved in resolving the issue have been contacted to be addressed as soon as possible. • All buoys are in place in areas requested by the township. “This is a great learning curve for us,” said Englerth, “we are partnering with Orangeville township to put a buoy at Refrigerator Rock. Parks, Recreation, and Trails will be meeting July 17 at 3 p.m. at the firestation in preliminary steps to create a walkable community united by trails, • Dr. Lynn Harvey will be meeting with residents at the fire bam on July 15 at 6 p.m. to discuss the township’s horizon vision for the community, with respect to fire safety. ?;<■ A I 6' 4 It* 4 fl >'1 5^ i-saf” f fril V Sim s Lt lr I n TAD IT' I kL. ■Hf 'V - » » * i J ■ - 4*^ I & Tad Thatcher, d o. 7/11/1972-7/6/2001 “Only the good die young ” and you were the BEST! $ S7 • • • Mom & Dad X* �k* s) MM 'Q IA A \ & •S I •Al * \ ■ X 4 . * A k <1 I X N; ■I A . ■ - [ s !k - ’ * •’till * by Julie Makarewicz Staff Writer The property at 307 Arlington St. is one step closer to being a useful com­ mercial site again, but there’s still a little more work to do. Village Manager Rebecca Fleury said soil testing sam­ ples on the site showed there was a small amount of spillage around the fuel tank that was removed. Because of this, the site will have to be classified as a “facility” with the state unless the site is cleaned and all contami­ nated soils removed. ’ The village of Middleville purchased the Arlington property in a tax foreclosure sale. When the village pur­ chased the site, it named Chemical Bank as the even­ tual end user. Chemical Bank is interested in using the site for a drive-thru ATM. Chemical Bank has deter­ mined it wants the site cleaned and will pay for the cleanup so the site does not have to be classified as a “facility.” The village will need to enter into an access agreement with Chemical Bank for the work to be done. Once the site is clean, the property sale will be finalized to Chemical Bank. In other matters before the council at its Tuesday meet­ ing: Jan Geukes asked the council to support the upcoming millage renewal request for the Barry County Commission on Aging. Geukes said the COA has many valuable services pro­ vided to senior citizens throughout the county including Meals on Wheels, Senior Meals and adult day care services. The millage renewal is for 0.4907 mills and will appear on the Aug. 5 ballot. Fleury reported she is working with the Lions Club to have a plaque installed at the Sesquicentennial Park site that will soon be the new community pavilion site. The village council gave the Lions Club its permission to do so in 2002. Fleury' is working with the Lions Club members to establish an appropriate location for the plaque. • Fleury said she and Village President Charlie Pullen met with Commonwealth Power officials who own the dam in Middleville.

Fleury said there may be about a $2,000 cost to the village to obtain those plans, but she is still working to obtain the plans at a reduced cost. • A contract with Michigan Pavement Markings was approved for $6,600 for for work work to to be be done done $6,600 in the village. The company has worked in Middleville before and Department of Public Works Works Director Public Duane Weeks said he’s been satisfied with the work. Michigan Pavement was the lowest of two bids for the work. Pavement marking is done every two years in the village and, on the off-year, spot repainting is done where needed. Council member Sue Reyff asked when negotiations would take place with the unions. She suggest­ ed the entire council should be involved in that process rather than just representa­ tion from the council. Currently, council member Mike Lytle, Fleury and Pullen Pullen are are part partof ofthe the negotinegoti­ ation process. Lytle said get­ ting entire council ting the involved in the process would be difficult. Pullen said the representatives will report to the entire council the happenings. • Council members asked about the appearance of the new drainage area & along M-37, noting that grass is getting tall and needs to be mowed. They also questioned what kind of trees or shrubs were planted because they didn’t know if any of them survived the winter. Fleury said she will contact the county drain commission. . • Barry County Sheriff’s Sgt. Tony Stein, Middleville unit, said there were few complaints or issues with fireworks this year.

Beyond the statistics of production of apples, blue­ berries, eggs, and other food­ stuffs, the first major point made by Adams was the incredible diversity of Michigan agriculture. "The only state with more diversity in agriculture is California," she pointed out. The second major point Adams made is the place Michigan occupies in the entire food chain. Agriculture extends far beyond farming. Economic opportunities exist well beyond producing crops and foodstuffs such as fruits and eggs. Observing that 22 percent of the jobs currently avail­ able in the state are related to agriculture and the process­ ing of food products, Adams stressed the food chain goes all the way from the field to the table. For her, the gro­ cery store is a part of the food chain, so are restau­ rants. Adams cited two restau­ rant chains familiar to her audience to illustrate her point. "Every egg served by McDonald's east of the Mississippi comes from Michigan,” Adams told her audience. “Wendy's buns come from Michigan." Adams also dealt with the fact that parents may dis­ courage children from pursu­ ing careers in agriculture because they think of farm­ ing as part of the lives of their parents and grandpar- Cassy Marie Fletke of Middleville has received a bachelor of science degree in elementary education at Fort Hays State University, in Hays, Kan. € KmueN -IXJ------- ** W; Sau fa/ds 2//9/f4 4.

"We could not feed our own population let alone any of the rest of the world, using the technology of the last century," said Adams. “Seed technology has made possible greater yields." In her view there are numerous studies showing that genetically modified foods are safe, Adams main­ tained. She also observed the number of organic farms in Michigan is declining. The audience applauded heartily and left with an expanded view of the food chain and its importance to Michigan. I Student awarded degree from Kansas university L' 4 ents. Observing that parents are the gatekeepers to educa­ tion, Adams pointed out that there are needs for scientists, engineers, chemists, and other food specialists, The application of chemistry to milk has enabled lactose-free dairy products to be made available to persons who cannot tolerate lactose, she pointed out. Not to be overlooked are traditional occupations such as butcher­ ing. Adams commented that grocery stores are looking for butchers to staff custom meat counters. Other skilled trades such as bakers are also needed. Adams addressed con- e 08° i The Sun and News, Saturday, July 12,2014/Page 5 . * I �Page 6/The Sun and News, Saturday.

But if you're a woman, you must bd particularly diligent, for a variety of reasons. And that means you’ll need to know just what to expect from Social Security. Why should you, as a woman, pay extra attention to Social Security? For one thing, women often take time off from their careers to care for children and older par­ ents, so they may accumulate less money in employersponsored retirement accounts, such as 401 (k) plans. And women still live several years longer than men, according to the Census Bureau. Clearly, then, you need to get the most you can from Social Security. To do so, you will need to consider at least three key factors: • Age — You can start tak­ ing retirement benefits as early as 62, but your benefits may be reduced by up to 30% unless you wait until your “full retirement age,’’ which is likely 66 or 67. If you delay taking benefits until 70, your monthly bene­ fits may be up to a third larg­ er than if you started collect­ ing Social Security at your full retirement age. You'll need to weigh a variety of factors — such as family longevity, income from *3 ■■ ifc ’ ■ S''NS %2 'A'' •* Q R 1 ■« < "'•“S s-'1 S^E J 1 w talWtfe Pain B Si °kc 11 I More 11121 - V klB Uta ____________________ I Crews w ill resume repair­ ing 10.5 miles of concrete pavement on 1-96 from Thomapple River Drive to the Kent/Ionia county line, beginning Monday, July 14. and continuing through Thursday, Aug. 21.

After all, as a lifelong Intemational-Farmall devotee, there’s a 1953 Ford trac­ tor sitting on his lawn and, Bergy concedes, he once even owned a John Deere. “John Deere’s a good trac­ tor,” the Caledonia retiree says, “I wouldn’t talk 'em down.” There are limits to the har­ mony, however. Especially when Bergy, 87, is asked on a recent sunny aftemoon-to pose for a photograph in the pilot's seat of the old Ford — as he’s wearing his bright red International dress shirt. “I feel like a traitor,” he pleads, though an easy-going manner graces the heart of a common man who loves the rural life he’s lived and still maintains with his wife Jean on their 40-acre farm. His loyalty to the old tractor way of life and to the Barry County Steam and Gas Machinery Antique Association has never come however. into question, That's likely why the associ­ ation has chosen Bergy to be the grand marshal and his prized International “H” as the featured tractor for the 2014 Barry County Fair. “I’ll just be the leader of the parade each night and the tractor will sit under a tent out front,” downplays Bergy. “That’ll be good because there’s always the normal • downpour at the fair.” As grand marshal, Bergy could have picked the Ford as the 2014 featured tractor. That’s where even a man of fairness tips off his biases. “I guess I’ve just always favored the International,” says Bergy. “Now, I could just spend a lot of time with the International because I spent a lot of time with it when I was young.” Bergy grew up the son of a farmer and, at one time, 55 worked with his father fulfilling his dream of living like the family always did: off the land. He recalls how faithful and rugged the International he used back then was, raking hay from sunup to mid-morning when the it was time to do chores. When chores were finished, it was back to raking hay. He remembers well the day International upgraded the International H to a “Super H,” though Bergy continued to stay with the old tried and true. “All they did was put more RPMs on it,” he notes. “You can make a new engine with just putting new pistons and sleeves in an old one.” He’s done that, too, and though he claims he’s “no mechanic,” Bergy describes the detail it took when he learned from a fellow farmer that the sleeves needed to be kept in a deep freeze before inserting them into the cylin­ ders of the tractor motor. Without keeping the metal the down, temperature iy I I ’ ifz ‘ /h1 ■ V/ & 4/ i J* & rJ ? 9* Keith Bergy, 87, still lives on the farm where he was born just outside of Caledonia. sleeves could expand and not fit. The marvels of tractor mechanics leave Bergy today regretful that the same wonder hasn't filtered through younger generations. “It's probably society today where the technology is so different,” ruminates Bergy. “Kids today do texting, they’re not too interest­ ed in this. Even at the fair, we seem to sometimes have a lot of activities but we’re not necessarily paying atten­ tion to the old tractors.” With his fellow members of the steam and gas club, Bergy says they're reaching out to youth, embracing activities and attractions at this year’s fair that, hopeful­ ly, will build interest. In addition to tractor pulling and demonstrations, Bergy says group has has added added aa says the the group portable sawmill, powered by belts and tractor muscle. “The club club's ’s trying to add extra things to draw interest and attention,” he points out. “The tractor pulling is always interesting but, for me, it’s not one of my better delights.” That doesn’t mean Bergy will be on the sidelines. (4 “If I can pull what the tractor was built to pull, I have no problem/’ he says, referring to the added power that some pullers put into their rigs that make for a stunning show. Even without the added power, Bergy contends, a tractor is a potent piece of equipment. “You can’t take this stuff for granted,” he cautions, “This International has five gears, and, in the top gear it'll go about 18 miles per hour down the road.

If you get too wild, you can get hurt pretty bad — even in fifth gear with this tractor. You can treat it nice­ ly and live, or you can treat it recklessly and be somewhere else.” Though he rues the loss of interest in tractor life, Bergy certainly isn’t opposed-to using today’s advancing technology himself. On his 40-acre spread, most of which is leased to a neigh­ boring farmer, Bergy still putters with maple syrup I 1 Al I %i % ■■■ production and firewood cut­ ting. What’s made those pursuits still manageable has been the purchase of a New Holland TC30 tractor to which he's added a front bucket for lifting heavy loads. “As much as I like the old ones, I wouldn't want to lose this one,” he smiles. “Dam that bucket is handy." What comes with today’s technology, Bergy also has learned, is a pretty hefty price. “I came home from Grand Rapids with that first bucket and I thought, ‘Golly sakes alive, how stupid could you be?’” he chuckles. “Well, as * TT z soon as I got that bucket on the tractor, I got that thought out of my mind." After spending his first adult working years farming with his father, Bergy soon felt the economic pinch that farming can impose. When a local offer came to enter the fuel oil business, Bergy grabbed it and eventually purchased the business. Today, after some 20 years of retirement, he's amazed at how even more difficult it is to break into the farming business.

That's why he continues to spread the word about how wonderful life once was in the old tractor days. “1 was bom on this farm, Bergy says with a smile. “People didn't run to the hospital for every little thing.” But then he adds, in acknowledgment of what modern life has provided, not that that's bad." That, perhaps, makes for the perfect blend in Bergy’s life today.

Since their inception in 1933, comic books have been mostly hand drawn. Warner's innovative approach of using photos shot specifically for sequen­ tial storytelling caught the attention of reality show pro­ ducer and independent film­ maker Patrick Moug of Buoy 22 Films who filmed Warner's unique method of Staging real people, mostly friends and neighbors, to cre­ ate the fictional scenes from Ghost Canyon in locations resembling a west­ ern landscape like C & D Hughes Aggregate, a gravel pit in Nashville, and Historic Charlton Park in Hastings which provided period-correct buildings for interior scenes. • As Warner wrangled over 50 actors, models and hors­ es, Moug conducted cast interviews on the set and captured the fast-paced ereativity in action for a forth­ coming television series, Mr. and Mrs. Comic-Con. The television series features Warner and his wife, Angie, as they struggle to bring their revolutionary creation to life and then pres­ ent it to the masses at comic book conventions, compet­ ing for fan dollars against powerhouse publishers like Marvel and DC Comics along with a slew of other off-beat artists and writers.

Both Kyle and Merle will have to complete reviews of the projects before they actu­ ally earn their Eagle rank. The Eagle is the highest rank in Boy Scouting and must be achieved by the time a Scout reaches the age of 18. To earn the rank of Eagle, a Boy Scout must earn at least 21 merit badges, including 13 specific merit badges. He must advance through the ranks of Boy Scouts by holding offices within the troop, be active in the troop, and demonstrate the Scout Oath and Scout Law in daily life. Additionally, Eagle scouts must plan, prepare and lead a project that will benefit the community. Earning the Eagle rank is a prestigious honor that only a small percentage of boys entering Scouts ever achieve. National estimates say only about 2 percent of all youths entering Scouts achieve their Eagle. Since its introduction in 1911, the Eagle Scout rank has been earned by more than 2 million young men. The first Eagle Scout medal was awarded in 1912 to Arthur Rose Eldred, a 17year-old member of Troop 1 of Rockville Centre, Long Island, N.Y.

Rick Snyder, governor of Michigan, do hereby proclaim Joly, SOU « COMMUNITY PAPER MONTH ■ V WHEREAS, "Our liberty cannot be guarded bat by the freedom of the press, □or that be limited without danger of losing it" (Thomas Jefferson to John Jay, 1786); and . WHEREAS, the publishing industn of community papers and newspapers, made up of both small and large organizations, is an important element in local communities throughout this nation. Collectively, these publications disseminate valuable information to more than 50 million homes each week. These hometown publications are the original and enduring hvper local medium, carrying the torch of democracy as the town crier, fixed in print and shared with neighbors many of tiiem free of charge; and - I 1 & I WHEREAS, free community papers proudly servo the information needs of their communities across this great land, while promoting local commerce, free enterprise and public service. As the industry will sponsor Community Paper Month during July, 2014 it Is fitting that recognition be given to this special effort to salute these publications, their owners and staff for the continued contiibutions to the growth and success of local communities through their publications.

They have watched their venerable weekly ‘ news magazine Newsweek go digital. They have watched the periodicals aisle at Bames & Noble get smaller. “So the question certainly makes sense from that perspective, but there seems to be another side to this dis­ cussion. All print is not created equal. Community papers, typically free community papers are thriving.” Readers under the age of 45 increased from 51 percent to 54 percent in the. same time period. Local publisher Fred Jacobs, vice president of the Barry County-based J-Ad Graphics, has* been a loud and vociferous protester of the notion that print journal­ ism is on the downswing.' “A recent Pew Research study on the importance of local newspapers reported that, among all adults, news­ ^2 fr“ papers were cited as the most DAYCARE CENTER CENTER Pu lc^erviceNEEDS preschool lead Readershl P audlts su gg est rehed-upon source for local lead teacher and assistant.

Township Treasurer Richard Robertson, presiding at the Wednesday evening meeting of the township board in the absence of Supervisor Bryan Harrison. said the township had received the appraisal placed on the facilities by Farmers. The decision by the company to go to the State of Michigan Tax Tribunal ups the ante considerably, he said. At a meeting approximate­ ly two months ago, the board learned the company had secured an appraisal of its facilities and declined to make the appraisal available until recently. The township board had missed the win­ dow for an appraisal of its own due, primarily, to cost considerations. The estimate for an appraisal is a mini­ mum of $20,000 and board members felt that they were unlikely to recover that cost. At the time, Harrison had said the assessments had been challenged in 2010-11 and had been negotiated. Added to Wednesday's meeting agenda was the hir­ ing of an expert witness to appear on the township's behalf before the state tax tri­ bunal. Discussions with the township attorney yielded the recommendation that an expert witness was needed. Robertson introduced a table showing how much money would have to be refunded by all of the entities able value, the amount being receiving some of the tax requested by Farmers dollars paid by Farmers in Insurance. 2013.

Fireworks used by resi­ dents to celebrate Caledonia Independence Day June 28 were not limited to that day, to the annoyance of many residents. So, a proposed ordinance to limit discharge of fireworks within the vil­ lage sparked discussion by the Caledonia village council Monday evening. In the discussion, the influence of social networks such as Facebook emerged, Complaints were not being directed to the Kent County Sheriffs Department, but to the village through the Facebook page. Village President Glenn Gilbert said fireworks going off in the Glengarry develop­ ment at 1:15 a.m. had not been appreciated, especially when the neighborhood dogs began barking. He said he went to the source of the noise and asked that it stop. saying he found it necessary to visit more than one offender. , Not only were fireworks going off June 28,the offi-* cial day of celebration in the village, but they were continto be discharged uing Sunday evening. Gilbert's solution to the problem, the proposed ordinance, would require persons wishing to discharge fire­ works of any size within the village to obtain a permit at a cost of $200. Since a police presence in the village is generally not noticeable in the late evening hours, he also said he wanted to know what it would cost to secure an officer between midnight 3 a.m. on such a holiday. The proposed ordinance would not apply to the actual federally designated July 4 date since that is regulated by state law; it would apply only to the traditional cele- bration on the Saturday reported on the successful cleaning of one of the two before July 4 in the village.

Trustee Todd Grinage said he thought the summer months were the time to con­ sider revision and enforce­ ment of the ordinances gov­ erning the removal of snow from sidewalks. In his view, the village needs a code enforcement officer.

These activ­ ities are well known, and the equipment is visible espe­ cially during the biennial open house when the com­ munity is invited to see how their tax dollars are used. Beyond the trainin 1- of personnel is another impor­ tant aspect: maintenance and i I ; »l •J'* NS c n NX NS testing of equipment. People may not think about this aspect of caring for the community, but the equipment must work appropriately when needed. Specialized features and requirements of fire equipment have given rise to a number of services and busi­ nesses devoted to meeting the needs of departments, One of those companies. Testing National Hose Specialties of the Great Lakes, has a regional office in Gaines Township. Troy Smith, general man- ager of the office, and his crew spent a recent Monday testing hoses and ladders at the Caledonia Fire Fire Chief Department, Brian Bennett said the com­ pany has been testing equip­ ment for the department for the past three years. The testing service costs about S1,600 to $ 1,800.

For most less most departments, departments, itit isis less expensive the expensive for for us us to to do do the testing testing because because we we have have the the certified certified personnel and equipment.” Bennett agreed. “1 would have to have four people spend a shift doing it,” said Bennett. “It makes no sense for us to try to do it in house. Never very far from the minds of public officials is the issue of liability. “There is a lot of recordkeeping,” commented Smith, “You have to be able to prove legally your equipment was properly tested and met standards, otherwise you could be liable for a lot of money.” i t V I like many other professional groups, the authority to set recommended standards has been delegated to the agency by civil authorities. Standards set for hoses were revised in 2013. All fire hoses are required to have a 10-year life expectancy when manufactured. The new' standards require them to be tested at 400 pounds per square inch; the old standard was 250 psi. In addition, all hoses manufactured before 1987 and still in use must be taken out of service and replaced.

HODET B by Sandra Ponsetto Staff Writer As the Barry County Fair wraps up and hotter summer weather returns, people may want to learn from pigs at the fair and beat the heat by enjoying a nice cooling roll in the mud. Fortunately, Barry County United Way has just the way to do it: the third annual Dirty Dozen Mud Run. The Dirty Dozen is back and it is earlier than ever. fhe event will once again be at former Ferris farm near the comer of M-37 and M-43 highways, but will take place Saturday, Aug. 2 — a full two months earlier than the inaugural event in 2012. “The event was moved to early August due to the need to prep the property for the development of the new hos­ pital,” said organizer Jon Anderson. “The organizing committee is excited to host the run in warm weather. Each year has been a bit dif­ ferent, and this year is no exception. Anderson said because of the need to prepare the prop­ erty. the event will only fea­ ture the original one-mile distance — however, some of the obstacles from last year’s 5K event will be incorporated into the shorter course — and everyone can enjoy them regardless of age. “Last year we had a age limit set because some of the obstacles were too big for younger kids, but this year we plan on having a height limit, kind of like the height stick at Cedar Point/’ said Anderson. “If you are too short for some of the obstacles, there will be a smaller obstacle next to the larger one. Bring out the family and enjoy the fun.” • Awards for this year’s event will be made from wood taken from the Ferris bam, which is also a unique piece of Barry county history. said Anderson, who added that the Dirty Dozen will return next year with a new location, and the return of the 5K event. • Saturday, Aug. 2, the first wave will start at 8 a.m., with waves beginning every 10 minutes. Registration is online at www.itsyourrace.com, or www.dirtydozenmunrun.com. Registration forms also can be picked up at the Pennock Health and Wellness Center. To be guaranteed a Dirty Dozen T-shirt, participants must pre-register. Pre-registration closes Monday, July 28, at midnight. On race day, the parking lot will open at 6:30 and registration will start at 7 a.m. however, Tshirts will not be available, and those who register on race day will not be official­ ly timed.

Dahlman shared information and explained blueprints of the planned new hospital facility, which will be locat­ ed at the comer of M-37 and M-43. Initial plans call for a 49-bed in-patient facility, as well as an out-patient med­ ical arts building. Pennock The current Hospital building was built in 1923 and has experienced 12 additions over the years. Valice graduated from Wayne State University of Medicine, and served his res­ idency at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak. His focus is on minimally-invasive surgical procedures, largely by using the da Vinci(R) Surgical System. He is board certified in obstetrics and gynecology. The robotic-assisted gyneclogical surgeries have many benefits for the patient, Valice highlighted, such as shorter hospital stays, less pain, quicker recovery peri­ ods, and lesser rates of infec­ tion. Both presentations were followed by question and answer sessions. 177588135__________________ His Smile - Tho* his smile is gone forever and his hand we cannot touch, we still have so many memories of the one we love so much.

If you're a fan or even a “weekend ath­ lete,” you can admire these players for their abilities, even if you — like the vast majority of humanity — can't hope to duplicate them. But if you 're an investor, you may be able to learn some practical lessons from the All Stars. So let's look at a few com­ mon All Star traits to see how they might apply to investors: • Consistency — All Stars typically don’t just have a few good weeks or months — they tend to be consistent­ ly excellent, year after year. As an investor, you, too, need to strive for consisten­ cy. Instead of periodically chasing after “hot” stocks, try to follow a long-term strategy by staying invested in the financial markets, up ” and both “up Jthrough ’ down” periods, and by rebalancing your holdings, as needed, to reflect changes in your life. • Ability to avoid errors — Everyone makes mistakes, but All Stars seem to make fewer of them. Whether it's fielding balls cleanly, suc­ cessfully executing a sacri­ fice bunt or not walking a player with the bases loaded, All Stars seem to avoid errors while making the right moves at the right time. When you invest, you need to avoid common “errors,” such as investing either too conservatively or too aggres­ sively. Instead of going to either of these extremes, build a portfolio appropriate for your risk tolerance but still capable of helping you reach your goals. All • Preparedness Stars keep themselves in great shape and often devel­ op additional skills as the years go by, such as develop­ ing a new pitch or learning to hit the ball to different parts of the field. By preparing themselves in this way, they effort in trying to hit home runs, while a powerful, but slow, slugger might not attempt to steal a base. Investors have limits, too, based on their sophistication and their financial resources. To illustrate: Some wealthy and highly experienced investors may embark on complex or risky strategies, or purchase hard-to-understand investments. But these risky techniques and complex investments are not for everyone — and smart, “everyday” investors know this and stick with proven strategies and comprehensi­ ble investments. You may never step foot on a baseball diamond. But as an investor, you can still pick up some “gems" of wisdom from the All Stars.

As you invest, you will also need to be prepared to take advan­ tage of new' opportunities. One such way to prepare is to have enough liquidity in your portfolio to make appropriate investment moves. In addition to prepar­ ing for opportunities, you’ll need to prepare for chailenges that could jeopardize your investment strategy. So, for example, you may want to build an emergency fund containing six to 12 months’ worth of living expenses. With such a fund in place, you may not have to dip into your long-term investments to pay for short-term needs, such as a major car repair, a new furnace or a big bill from the dentist. • Awareness of limits — Not even the best All Stars can do everything well.

He said commissioners are beginning the budget process and that there is an anticipat­ ed increase in revenues. • Fleury reported the vil­ lage is once again eligible to receive redevelopment liquor licenses in the DDA district. She said she has tes­ tified in Lansing about this issue and is glad to see it has been changed to allow the licenses. The state prohibit­ ed these for villages and townships in 2011. These new licenses will be avail­ able for businesses in the DDA district to obtain if there are no quota licenses available for the community. She said this will help mar­ ket some of the vacant prop­ erties in the village. • The DDA board voted to allow' up to two vendors per night at the Friday Night Riverbank Music Series. Local businesses will be given first choice to fill those vendor slots. Vendors can­ not be present at consecutive events and there can’t be two vendors competing with the same items. The vendors will be allowed the remain­ der of the summer on trail basis. The DDA will review after that and determine whether to continue allowing the vendors at the music series. • Fleury reported that. during a review of the TK school utility bills, it was learned two of the school accounts have never been charged debt readiness fees. The village can only go back three years to collect these revenues. By Michigan law, according to Fleury, the vil­ lage must go back and collect the fees. A letter has been sent to the superintend­ ent of TK Schools. Fleury said the village can work out a three-year payment plan with the district to bring the district into compliance. • Council member Mike Lytle said he’s been concemed about the number of fireworks going off in the village even after the July 4 holiday. He said he hopes the council will reconsider an ordinance against the fire­ works. Village of Caledonia Challenges set for ♦ Council to have vacancy Middleville village elections it There will be some deci­ sions for village of Middleville residents to make at the November gen­ eral election. Two candidates have filed for the village presi­ dent seat and six candidates have filed for three open iT >l£tn j than : Jnab wsrl village trustee seats. Charles Pullen is seeking re-election as village president and will face chal­ lenger Geoff Moffat. The presidential term is a twoyear term of office. Filing for three open trustee seats are incumbents Ed Susan Reyff and Schellinger. They will face challenges __ from newcom­ ers Mike Cramer, Mary Jean Lamoreaux, Sherry Ronning, and Fran French. The trustee terms are four year terms of office. I by Fran Faverman The assumption there would be no new faces on the council of the Village of Caledonia after the November 4 election was unexpectedly overturned this past Tuesday when current trustee and village vice-pres­ ident Danise Regan did not file for re-election by the 4 p.m. deadline according to I Three !?*■*•* 4* *4 • candidates file for spots on TK Board Caledonia Township Clerk Jennifer Christian Venema. Instead, filing for a full. four-year term was Trustee Elizabeth Fanco. Fanco had been appointed to fill the unexpired term of Tim Overholt who resigned in July, 2013. She was required to run for the remainder of the Overholt term because, at the time of her appointment, more than two years of Overholt's term remained. She was expected to do so. village Sandy Ayers, clerk/manager, said she expects the council to appoint someone to fill the remainder of the vacated term. For the time being, there is no vacancy on the council. A vacancy will only arise after the November 4 elec­ tion and Regan, whose term will have expired, leaves the council. If Fanco is elected to the four-year term, then the vacancy could arise and an appointment be made by the council. According to Venema, there is another possibility should the vacancy occur. A write-in candidate could sur­ face in the November elec­ tion. Anyone who is a registered voter in the village and is interested in a write-in campaign could declare their interest in October at least three weeks before the November 4 election. of Education I Having a sweet time at the fair i ■iM eie Delicious sweet corn is a favorite at the Taste of Barry County. Pictured from left are Miah Grassmid and Jenea Petter enjoying their ears of corn. Three people have filed for three open seats on the Thomapple Kellogg Board of Education. Incumbents Anne Hamming and Dave Smith have filed for re-election in the November election. Kristen Cove has also filed for an open seat and will be on the November election. Current board member Kim Selleck, opted not to seek re-election this year. The terms are for six years.

The process of replacing and widening the aging bridge began in March, just after MDOT announced it would be using bridge-slide technology to minimize clo­ sures and delays both on M­ 50 and 1-96. This is the first time the procedure has been used in Michigan, though it has been used more than 30 times nationwide thus far. The technique calls for construction of the new bridge adjacent to the exist­ ing bridge. Traffic is then diverted onto the new bridge in its temporary location while the old bridge is demolished. Once the old structure is removed, the new bridge, which has been built on a steel beam, will be placed on a special jack and slid into place. According to John Richard, a representative from MDOT communica­ tions, construction on the new M-50 bridge is nearing its finish, with the concrete deck being poured earlier this week. He added that traf­ fic for both north- and south­ bound M-50 will be diverted to the new bridge about this time next month. . • ‘ “In late August, traffic will be switched over to the new bridge, while the old bridge is demolished and the new abutments are construct­ ed.” * * ► 'X-w * ► Food drive nets hundreds of pounds of food and cash Traffic continues to flow freely over the existing M-50 bridge while finishing touches are being put on the new one. The demolition will occur over a weekend, Friday night through Monday morning, he said, andwill be one of only two times M-50 will be closed due to the large construction project. The other closure will take place over a weekend in October when the actual bridge slide is scheduled. Traffic on 1-96 will be reduced to one lane during those times and diverted up and over the exit —A I Discounts from 5% - 20% Sau ews 8/2/f4 1 FABULOUS' 1 FINDS ESTATES! r We invite you to come find T 121 E.

While drivers have experienced intermittent lane shifts, temporary delays and shoulder closures, closures,traffic traffic shoulder over and under the bridge has maintained a smooth flow, he said. Use of the tra­ ditional bridge-replacement method would have called for bridge closure over several months, major traffic delays and long and inconvenient detours, Richard said. When completed in November, the bridge will be 33 feet wider than the origi­ nal, for a total width of 68 feet. This will accommodate four 12-foot lanes, two through lanes, two left-turn lanes, and two I0-foot shoul­ ders, he added. Other changes to expect include a right-turn lane added for southbound M-50 traffic entering westbound l-96 and the widening of both the eastbound and westbound off ramps.

Both years the weather was extremely hot during fair week, with temperatures soaring into the 90s and near 100 degrees.

The large community room is receiving a makeover with new flooring, drywall, light­ ing and other changes designed to make the room more usable. The first phase, completed about 18 months ago, involved renovating the din­ ing, beverage and entertain­ ment area. Bill Bravata, a member of the Sons of the American Legion, is acting as general contractor for the project. He had been involved in a previ­ ous construction project there in 1982 when the large community room was added to the original facility. According to commander Gary Marzean, the post has been the recipient of donated lumber and other materials. New carpeting and tiling will improve the room as well as the addition of soundabsorbing materials.

Another local firm has donated painting supplies. The decision to update the facility reflects the fact that the image of the posts is changing nationwide. More and more, the posts are becoming community service ice organizations. organizations, said said Marzean. The number and kind of activities sponsored by the Caledonia post as members strive to meet the needs of veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan have changed. While there will always be golf, hunting and fishing outings, there are now food and clothing drives. A second factor in the changing image is the pres­ ence of larger numbers of women veterans as the opportunities for women in the armed forces have expanded. Cami Sterken, a member of the Legion Auxiliary, serves as treasurer and man­ ages the bar and entertain­ ment area. We make more money from food than we do from alcohol," said Sterken. “Bar sales do not cut it anymore.” The kitchen, under the direction of Mike Whip, pro- duces burritos, burgers, steaks, and soups and salads, The Friday night fish fries during the Lenten season are well patronized by people from the community, as well as members.

The Kent District Library System is seeking a 1.28-mil levy for 10 years. Although billed as a renewal, the pro­ posed levy represents an increase of 0.4-mil over the expiring levy of 0.88 mills. "We haven't had a raise in 14 years," is how KDL board member Shirley Bruursema termed it in comments made at a library board meeting a few months ago. Attempts to pass an additional millage to relieve the budget issue failed earlier in the past decade. Should Tuesday’s millage request fail, significant reductions in library services are likely. Passage will permit the continuation of current services and possi­ bly some expansion of hours in some locations. The proposed levy would raise $20 million in its first year. In succeeding years, the Headlee Amendment would apply and- would result in a slight reduction. Also to be considered is the reduction of 1.1 percent imposed on the library's rev­ enues by requirements to dis­ burse funds to local entities such as Downtown Development Authorities in eight communities, Brownfield redevelopment authorities in five communi­ ties, and the Kent County Land Bank Authority. The second millage request on Tuesday's ballot is the renewal of the Kent County millage for senior citizen services. The pro­ posed renewal would be for 0.50 mills for eight years, in expiring 2021.

How much change will be determined by voters in Tuesday’s pri­ mary election, when one seat will be finalized, and then in the Nov. 4 general election in which two more seats will be up for final grabs. All seven county board seats are up for two-year term elections, but only three districts are seeing competition for the position. Republican voters will choose between incumbent Howard “Hoot” Gibson and challenger Jerry Sarver in District 1. Because there is no Democrat registered for the November general elec­ tion, Tuesday’s winner will run unopposed in November, barring a write­ in Democratic effort. Final decisions for seats in District 6, where three Republicans are vying to the lone run against Democrat Michael Barney in November, and in District 5, where incumbent Ben Geiger is unopposed in Tuesday’s primary but will face Democrat Damon Ross in November, will have to wait until the November election. Running unopposed- District 6 Two past contenders and an experienced newcomer to county-level politics make up the field for the seat being vacated by cur­ rent Commissioner Jim DeYoung. Mark Doster has been a past county commissioner, and he and Vivian Conner both ran for the District 6 seat in 2012. John Rough brings service as a Yankee Springs Township supervisor and a member of that township’s planning and zoning committee to the race. The winner of Tuesday’s Republican primary contest will face Democrat Michael Barney in the Nov. 4 gener­ al election.

I See ELECTION, page 5 k Voters in local townships to fill partial terms by Constance Cheeseman Sta# Writer Though elections for full­ term township positions are not held until 2016, several area townships will be voting Tuesday to fill partial terms. A review of local township elections and candidate responses to questions fol­ lows: Thornapple Township The remainder of a partial trustee term is up for bid between Republicans Ross DeMaagd and Austin Turnes. was DeMaagd appointed by the township board to fill a vacancy and will now be seeking formal voter approval to fulfill the remainder of the term until November 2016. Challenger Austin Turnes did not respond to an interview requests. Ross DeMaagd, current trustee, appointed to partial term ending in 2016 DeMaagd has 25 years of business experience in the community and owns an auto repair and body work busi­ ness. DeMaagd feels his business has facilitated long­ term relationships with cus­ tomers, residents in the com­ munity. DeMaagd has served on the Thomapple Township planning commission for 12 years, prior to the being on the board and served on the 911 advisory committee when it rewrote bylaws. DeMaagd has continued studies in trade and technical education, is a certified fire­ fighter for Middleville and the township and holds EMT/paramedic level credentials. DeMaagd is also an instrument-rated pilot and owns a flight school. Major issues important to DeMaagd include the poten­ tial for fracking in the community, noting the emotional issue is important to all members of the community. Feeling that state government ties the hands of the township, DeMaagd advo­ cates sending a larger, stronger voice to the state, with the desire to restrict the acts of fracking in Barry County. Additionally, county and township roads are a major concern for DeMaagd, who feels that the state will not be able to do enough to support good roads. With Michigan weather conditions and the non-business approach to allocation of state, funding by the DeMaagd believes the township will have to bear the burden of ensuring quality roads for its residents. DeMaagd is vying for the trustee position because he feels its important for local people with resources and abilities to be of service to their communities, citing a civil obligation to serve the community you live in, and to try to make a positive dif­ ference in local government; 4 See TOWNSHIPS, pg. 11 In This Issue... • Caledonia man pleads guilty in U.S. District Court • Critical funding requests also on Tuesday’s ballot in Barry County • Chaos girls win 18U title at NSA “B” North World Series • All-American status for TK’s Poland after fine Fargo finish > r �Page 2/The Sun and News, Saturday, August 2, 2014 Critical funding requests also on Tuesday’s ballot in Barry County by Doug VanderLaan Editor Though Tuesday’s pri­ mary election may be light on candidates, three county­ wide tax proposals and rev­ enue requests in four town­ ships and the village of Woodland should attract the attention of voters. All three county proposals are renewal requests of existing millage levies for the Barry County Transit System, Barry County E911 Emergency Telephone and Central Dispatch System and the Commission on Aging. Barry County Transit is seeking a renewal of its orig­ inal 10-year, .25-mill rev­ enue issue though, due to Headlee Amendment roll­ backs related to taxable prop­ erty values, Tuesday’s renewal proposal is for .2481 mills. Though service is expect­ ed to increase to 100,000 rides in 2014 — up from 30,000 annual rides when the first millage was approved 10 years ago — the transit system is using rider fares, state and federal funds and modem efficiencies to pro­ vide transportation services to the county. “The millage money for operations unlocks state and federal matching funds that otherwise would not be available,” pointed out Bill Voigt, transportation manager/urban transportation coordinator. “Right now, we receive, roughly, 50 cents in matchin A* funds from the state and federal govern­ ments for every $1 that we spend. “Plus, the millage is instrumental in helping us develop what we call ‘demand response routes,’ routes that are built daily according to the needs of the customer. We pick them up where they are and take them to where they need to be, as opposed to transporting on existing existing routes routes from from which which they'd have to transfer." Last Last year, year, Barry Barry County County Transit provided 20,850 rides to medical appointments; 10,607 to county retail businesses; 22,461 for students within the city of Hastings; 4,698 for govern­ ment services; 3,069 to local restaurants; and 21,385 rides for various outreach, treat­ ment and contracted medical service appointments. “People ride for all kinds of reasons,” pointed out Voigt, adding that the top­ priced fare is $3, and many rides go for as little as $1, especially critical for county residents struggling to remain independent. “Transit services allow our residents to live where they want to live and still have access to goods and services needed for quality of life.” Approval of Tuesday’s renewal request will generate $460,000 for the transit sys­ tem.

In the 13-year period since 2001, Central Dispatch/E-911 has levied its full millage rate in only four of those years. “I know that some of the public has been fired up by the addition,” Fuller Fuller acknowledged, ““but but the the money money used used has hasbeen been money money saved over several years by reducing costs in other areas and saving money.” Commissioner County Craig Stolsonburg called attention at the April meeting to two of those significant areas of savings, a mobile data and a simulcast fire systern, tern, projects projects that that were were budbudgeted for $1.5 million, Central Dispatch/E-911 Central completed the projects completed $540,000 under budget. “I can’t apologize for that,” quipped Fuller, at the time, “we’re always looking for ways to save.” The projected fund bal­ ance for 2015 is $320,000, or 20 percent of the department’s budget, Fuller report­ ed, within the target range of auditors who suggest a fund balance of 15 to 25 percent of a department budget. “I do want to be on the high end of that range because, in this business, there are a lot of things that can go wrong,” said Fuller. “Our board has been very diligent keeping that in consideration sideration anddoing doing aa phenomenal job of spending down fund balance and sav- ing taxpayer money.” Fuller also has had to fend off suggestions that funding for the Central Dispatch/E911 System be shifted from a property tax millage basis to a surcharge on landline and cellular phones in the county, a funding mechanism that several Michigan counties have adopted. “Surcharges are unstable,” Fuller stated at the April board meeting, county “because landlines have experienced an incredible decrease, and summer populations in the county live in other areas, so they aren't subject to the surcharge.” Approval of Tuesday’s renewal request will contin­ ue the assessment for the owner of a $ 100,000 home at $49.08 for the next five years, Township and villages making additional millage ballot requests Tuesday include: • Assyria Township. A 1mill proposal for road repair and maintenance, • Johnstown Township.

Two 10-year requests have been approved since, but success also has come with judicious use of resources. “We’ve worked really hard to be frugal,” said Pennington, “in order to stretch the public dollar as far as we possibly can." For the owner of a $100,000 home, approval of Tuesday’s renewal request will continue an assessment of $24.53 for the next 10 years.

Dull suggested the millage renewal request could be reduced to .75 mills. “The public perception that we have a high fund bal­ ance has been a hard obstacle to overcome,” conceded Fuller in a conversation with the Banner Tuesday. “Yes, in the past we have carried a high fund balance but over the course of years, our board has taken those fund balances and balances into into account account and saved taxpayers money by asking for less than the li is ta M-50 resurfacing project Call any time for underway north of Freeport Sun & News Arts & Craft Show Lr4 access to services by a burgeoning senior population is placing severe stress on the organization. In remarks made to the county's board of commissioners April 15, COA Executive Director Tammy Pennington announced that the organization is at full capacity in its present location on Woodlawn Avenue in Hastings and in its ability to accommodate additional staff, volunteers or program­ ming. This, as the over-60 years of age population has increased more than 30 per­ cent in Barry County accord­ ing to the 2010 U.S. Census. Despite critical need, the COA board has elected to seek only a renewal of its present 10-year, .4907-mill issue. “Our strategy is to find ways to bring more money in without requesting addition­ al millage,” Pennington told commissioners in April about not seeking a millage increase to go along with its renewal request, Instead, Pennington pointed to fundraising increases and a very slow increase in user fees as a way to forego a request for tax revenue beyond Tuesday’s renewal, Adults older than 60 years of age now make up 21 percent of the county’s total population as opposed to 16 percent as reported in the census from 2000 to 2010. Numbers like those tell Pennington, alternative fund­ raising strategies are short­ term, at best. “We passed our first mill­ age in 1990 and that has meant the difference for older adults in Barry County between bare-bone services and being able to meet peo­ ple’s needs,” she said in a conversation with the Banner Tuesday. “In .4^ i M-50 (Alden Nash Avenue) closed over 1-96 for bridge demolition Friday at 7 p.m. and will remain closed through Monday morning, Aug. 4, as crews slide a new bridge into place.

The ballot language is simpler than what’s behind * It. Proposal I is designed to correct problems created for local governments this past spring when the Michigan Legislature repealed a tax law that paid revenues to local governments from the state’s tax on businesses and economic growth in Michigan. The solution before the voters Tuesday is the cre­ ation of a statewide local tax to replace that lost revenue to local governments. Proposal I calls for the creation of a “local community stabiliza­ tion authority’’ that will receive 2 percent of Michigan’s 6 percent Use or Sales tax revenues. A new local tax, as pro­ posed, cannot be created Proposal 1 The amendatory act adopted by the Legislature would: • Reduce the state use tax and replace it with a local community stabilization share of the tax for the purpose of modernizing the tax system to help small businesses grow and create jobs in Michigan. • Require a local community stabilization authority to provide revenue to local governments dedicated for local purposes, including police safety, fire protection and ambulance emergency services. • Increase portion of state use tax dedicated for aid to local school districts. • Prohibit authority from increasing taxes. • Prohibit total use tax rate from exceeding existing constitutional 6 percent limitation. Should this law be approved? without voter approval which is the reason for Tuesday ’s Proposal 1 request for creation of a LCSA. An analysis of Proposal I by the Citizens Research Council of Michigan, a nonpartisan, private research agency, reported. reported, “This makes Proposal I very unique when compared with prior statewide ballot ques­ tions, as it derives not out of constitutional provisions related to state government but out of constitutional pro­ visions related to local gov­ ernment.” The LCSA will be admin­ istered by a five-member council appointed by the governor. Usually, local taxes are administered local­ ly and are expressed in terms of mills or costs per thousand of taxable value. Residents in a community can general­ ly vote to remove those elected officials who have imposed the tax. However, the five-member LCSA council will not subject to removal by voters and is defined as not being an agency of. state government. . . In addition to the diver­ sion of funds from the state use tax, a local share component is part of the proposal, The combination of funds is supposed to provide the money to make whole the local government entities that have benefited from the personal property tax revenues generated from busi­ nesses in the past. The amount needed from the local share component will be calculated by the €4 < Kent County Sheriffs ** a^®’eo1 mW . yJ Department seeks help for fire proto 38 ' Village of i ta rf tags tbai ations, Ik Fife Ml [if ® I tW,aWi special projects. ■idoiMapbe- oi pta de^m ihtex and sv- I I a ’ । joutil lit! r 12 In recent weeks, the Kent County Sheriff Department has responded to numerous break-ins of utility and con­ struction trailers occurring in both Byron and Gaines Townships.

Estimates from the state’s Treasury Department suggest the calculation for 2016 will be $96 million and will increase by a growth factor of percent. Ultimately, the local share component in 2028 will be $572 million, Beneficiaries, if Proposal 1 is approved, will be com­ munities with a large manu­ facturing base. For the first time, police, fire and ambu­ lance emergency services are included as essential services in communities. That means millages for school districts. community college districts, emergency services, down­ town development authori­ ties, libraries and funds used to support those services are eligible for reimbursement. There are also some safe­ guards. The local share com­ ponent and the funds divert­ ed from the state's use tax are deposited directly to the LCSA. The funds are not subject to the legislative appropriations process since the legislature cannot appro­ priate revenue derived from a local tax. However, the implementing statutes are not guaranteed. One legisla­ ture cannot bind future legis­ latures and there is a long history of changes being made. Perhaps the most recent example the kind of ' of.................... change that can occur is the use of some of the 6-mill state education tax to finance community colleges and state universities. In a series of conversa­ tions with local government officials in Barry County and Caledonia, neighboring Banner staff found mixed reactions to the proposal. Supervisor Jim Brown of Hastings Charter Township called property tax a regres­ sive tax and counterproduc­ tive. A regressive tax is com­ monly considered to discour­ age by lowering 'Ab/ investment ■■ the yield on investment, in this instance, equipment needed to operate a business. It includes not only machin­ ery for manufacturing a product but file cabinets, computers, desk chairs and other equipment used by businesses to sell a product or a service. Brown said Mensch Manufacturing is building a plant in his township. He does not regard the revenue derived from existing busi- nesses in the township to be a budget-breaker for his township. Neither does Supervisor Jim Carr of Rutland Charter Township. It costs more in time, labor and equipment to send a bill for SI.50 than it is worth, said Carr. "The cheapest part of the process is the postage. However, Carr said he does have concerns about fmding the revenue to make communities whole. In his view. Proposal I is a very complicated solution. Middleville Village Manager Rebecca Fleury said she thinks Proposal 1 is an important, although not perfect, solution. “It is 12 percent of our budget, which was SI.3 million,’’ said Fleury, of the rev­ enue reduction from the Legislature's repeal of the business tax, the same amount of the village's contract with the Barry County Sheriffs Department tor *• police sen ices, “We are virtually guaran­ teed full reimbursement because we are a full-sen ice community with police, fire, emergency sen ices and a library,’’ Fleury added. The village is part of Thomapple Township, Mike Bremer, supenisor of Thornapple Township, said he likes Proposal I. “Anything we can do to help businesses be more efficient and more productive is good for our economy." said Bremer. “It is my under­ standing that we will be made whole. It is a win-win for us, and I like it." In Caledonia, perspectives are more taciturn. *• "It is $4,000, we don’t even break it out any­ more." said Sandy Ayers, manager/clerk of the Village of Caledonia, referring to the repealed personal property tax on and their businesses equipment. "It is less than one percent of our general fund revenues. I expect from talking to other treasurers." observed Richard Robertson, treasurer of Caledonia Township, we will be made whole, but 1 am not sure about it. We’ll wait and see what hap­ pens. So many tow nships really use that money to pay for services like police and fire depart­ ments." H If the proposal passes and does provide adequate reim­ bursement to Michigan com­ munities while providing an incentive to Michigan busi­ ness to increase investment and economic growth, it may well become a case study for other struggling states. If it passes and does not achieve what its supporters say it will do for economic growth and business investment in the state, it may well become a case study for how not to do 11 Ellis responds to questionnaire by Fran Faverman Staff Writer In the interest of inform­ ing readers, the Sun and News sent by e-mail a candi­ date questionnaire to the campaign offices of Brian Ellis and Congressman Justin Amash. Ellis’ respons­ es are printed below. Congressman Amash did not respond. Both men are competing for the Republican nomina­ tion for the Michigan 3rd Congressional district. The first part of the ques­ tionnaire dealt with demo­ graphic information. Ellis is 54 years old. He is married with children. He is a long-time resident of East Grand Rapids and graduated from East Grand Rapids High School before going on the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, IN, where he received a bachelor's degree in business administration (accounting) in 1982. In 1984, he received a Master's degree in business (finance) administration from the University of Michigan. Following a peri­ od of employment in the pri­ vate sector, he established his own firm, Brooktree Capital Management, where he continues to be employed, Responding to a query about previous experience as a candidate or officeholder of an elective position, Ellis listed his years as member of the East Grand Rapids /School Board from 1998 to October of 2013. He was the board’s president for 8 1/2 years. represen­ "We deserve a representative who will vote consistently to promote the values of our community and to help hardworking taxpay­ ers," wrote Ellis on his ques- tionnaire tionnaire response, Repealing Obamacare, cut­ ting taxes, reducing spend­ ing, and expanding energy sources are important to him and are among the reasons he is running for Congress. "I consider the top issue to be fiscal," he responded to a query about district issues. In his view, the climate for long-term economic growth in the district depends on balancing the budget, dealing with the liabilities attached to unfunded entitlements, and simplifying the tax code. Debt avoidance would also help. High education standards coupled with local control and attention to the needs of local businesses tor labor with various skills is also key to improving the economy and promoting job growth.

Police searched a storage unit in Plainfield Township rented by Balyo earlier and found handcuffs, duct tape and children's socks. There were also reportedly magazines and articles about missing children, and children's obituaries. Balyo was arrested in June in Gaylord during a Christian music festival. John Balyo of Caledonia admitted July 29 in U.S. District Court in Grand Rapids to photographing sex acts with a 12-year-old boy in a Kalamazoo County hotel, according to reports filed on mlive. Balyo, 34, is a former Christian radio show host for WCSG, a station run by Comerstone University. He reportedly told the court he performed the sex act and possessed the images on his camera. it Balyo will be sentenced in November and faces at least 15 years in prison and possibly as much as 50 years for the federal charge. In addition. Balyo also faces state charges of first degree criminal sexual conduct involving an II-year-old boy in Calhoun County. If convict­ ed of the state charges, the courts will have to decide whether his prison terms would be served at lhe same time or consecutively. w UJ( Illinois boater arrested for operating while intoxicated * v ■ 4^ ''SFr^ A 25-year-old Joliet, III man was arrested about 10:30 p.m. July 26, facing charges of operating a motor boat while intoxicated.

A granite sign was in storage for several years after it would not fit in the brick pillars at the entrance to the cemetery. Walt Eavey, chair of the cemetery committee, said he wanted to have the sign used and two new brick pillars were built to support it. The sign and new pillars are placed at the corner of Sheridan Street at the cemetery entrance. Another improvement was made to the roof and bricks at the storage building. Eavey believes the building was built in the mid-1800s and was initially used to store bodies for burial until frozen grown thawed. Funds for the improvements were provided by private donations to the cemetery. Eavey is pictured with the sign and in front of the building. Eavey said volunteers are also interested in doing some additional cleaning work at the cemetery during the United Way’s annual Day of Caring this fall.

Breastfeeding guards American Red Cross issues A urgent call for blood donors I I\ l The American Red Cross is facing a looming blood shortage, leading to an urgent need for donors of all blood types to roll up a sleeve and give. Donations through the Red Cross are down approx­ imately 8 percent over the past 11 weeks, resulting in about 80,000 fewer dona­ tions than expected. The number of donors continues to decline, and the shortfall is significant enough that the Red Cross could experience an emergency situation in the coming weeks. “Hospital patients contin­ ue to need lifesaving blood this summer, and they’re relying on the generosity of volunteer donors to give 3. ft® 4 4/ them hope in the days and weeks ahead,” said Jim Flickema, CEO for the Red Cross Great Lakes Blood Services Region. “Please, consider giving the gift of life. Each day donations come up short, less blood is available for patients in need — and you never know when it could be your loved one needing blood.” Eligible donors with types O negative, B negative and A negative blood are especially needed at this time.

It also reduces women's women’s chance of breast and ovarian cancer and protects against postpartum depression. “Pediatricians, health care experts and millions of mothers all swear by it,” said Heather Sanders, WIC and breastfeeding coordinator with the local health department. “Breastfeeding is powerful." Currently, about 75 percent of women in Michigan initiate breastfeeding, but only 13 percent are exclusively breastfeeding when the baby is 6 months old. Those percentages are even lower for African American mothers and women enrolled in the WIC Program. “Helping mothers overover­ come breastfeeding chaichallenges will improve the numnum­ ber of babies who are fed this ‘super milk’ ’ and will support them to breastfeed longer,” said Sanders. Communities can support mothers and babies who breastfeed — in the hospital, home, workplace and in pubpub­ lic, lie, said Sanders. Gov. Rick Snyder, in his Breastfeeding Awareness Month Proclamation, said Michigan is committed to increasing public support and acceptance of breastfeeding as the infant feeding norm. Activities throughout the state are planned to draw attention to the importance of breastfeeding for the Il health and well-being of mothers and children, Additionally, advocates in Michigan are celebrating recent passage of the Breastfeeding AntiDiscrimination Act, legislation that gives women the right to nurse a child in any place that is open to the gen­ eral public. Join Michigan WIC and the Michigan Breastfeeding Network celebration of Breastfeeding Awareness Month Wednesday, Aug. 6, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the State Capitol lawn (look for the tent) for the Michigan Breastfeeding Awareness Month Walk. For further information on breastfeeding support, call Sanders, 517-541-2630.

It’s been a topic that’s been discussed by the council several times, with pros and cons of the service the weighin^ heavily on _ minds of the council mem­ bers. They talked about it again Wednesday at the August Committee of the Whole meeting. I think we should look at another survey or get more input from the residents somehow before we decidsaid council member Shannon Haigh. “We need to see if this is something the community really wants." Village Manager Rebecca Fleury said she did some research with other communities. Most who offer sideIt t walk snowplowing, she said. hire a private contractor to do .he .Jhe two main reasons tor the outside contractor, she said, are the lack of staff available, and the cost to purchase equipment needed. Fleury said she's also gotten one quote for that service that is much higher than what staff estimated it might be. Fleury said some munic­ ipalities are enforcing their ordinances by contracting for services and billing residents who do not comply with the ordinances. She also said that, if the village takes over the duties of clearing sidewalks, the village will assume some lia bility. If a contractor is hired, the contractor assumes the liability. The village has about 17 miles of sidewalks, accord­ ing to Department of Public Works Director Duane Weeks. He estimates it will take village crews about 16 hours to plow all the side­ walks per snow event with an estimated cost of about vear that $21,000 per year •e includes DPW labor. Weeks estimates one snowplow driver spends about 300 hours per snow season clearing streets within the village and he expects that clearing sidewalks would take about the same amount of time. Weeks said the village would likely have to purchase upgraded equip­ ment at an estimated cost of $38,000 to $40,000. He also said current equipment might be traded in for some savings. The village currently has an ordinance requiring prop­ erty owners to clear their own sidewalks in front of their property after snow See PLOWING, page 3 । । In This Issue... • Fireworks debate gets council attention • New football practice policies promote safety • Annual Meet the Scots event at Meyers Stadium Saturday • Deadline for flag football is Aug. 15 < < < 1 �Page 2/The Sun and News, Saturday, August 9, 2014 Fireworks debate gets council attention by Julie Makarewicz Staff Writer Fireworks regulations were a topic of discussion amongst the Middleville vil­ lage council Wednesday. Council member Mike Lytle wanted the council to discuss more regulations banning fireworks in the vil- lage throughout the year. He said there have been several times when fireworks have been shot off long after holi­ day weekends and late at night and that it can be very disruptive and annoying. Currently, the village allows fireworks to be used 365 days per year, but does Shop FOR ALL OF YOUR KIDS HAIR CARE NEEDS! “Fair into a Call today for fall enrollment Ne lv Ca reerl information... 269-205-2445 e Sociology Aco www.anewageacademy com i 31 269-205-2445 • 620 S.

I think 30 days is enough,” said Lytle. According to a 2012 state law, fireworks must be allowed on 10 specific holidays, as well as the day before and the day after those holidays. The village can restrict use to only those 30 days, if desired. If that’s done, fireworks would not be permitted for use at any time other than the specified holi­ days, and the day before and the day after those holidays. Barry County Sheriff's Deputy and Middleville Sgt.

Lytle said he thinks if village residents can complain about about aa barking barking dog dog or or loud loud music, they ought to be able to do something about loud fireworks as well. Council member Shannon Haigh said she thinks it's a waste of time and money writing an ordinance that wili be difficult, if not impossible, for police to enforce. “Nine legal complaints in two years,” observed Haigh. “Even if we did change our ordinance, is Tony (the police) going to be able to get there in time to do anything? Probably not. Like he said, he's just chasing his tail and I think it's a waste of money.” Others agreed the fire­ works can be an annoyance at times, but said they don’t know if it’s worth trying to regulate and restrict. More concerning than the noise, some said, are the hazards of the fireworks and the poten­ tial for fires especially in dry seasons. They suggested reminding the public about the possible hazards of fire­ works throughout the sum­ mer. In other matters at Wednesday’s committee of the whole meeting: • Council was given a preliminary copy of the 2015 and 2016 budgets and community improvement project plans. Some proposed changes to the 2015 budget include making the planning and zoning administrator a full-time position from 20 hours to 40 hours; increasing the clerk hours from 20 to 30 hours; the hours; and making deputy clerk anddeputy finance director and increas­ ing hours from 30 to 40. The council will review the budg­ et in early September and again in November. A publie hearing will be held by the final meeting in final meeting in November on the budget proposal and millage rates and then the village council will adopt the rates and budget at their December meeting. • Council heard a presen­ tation by the Michigan Development Economic Development Economic Corporation Redevelopment Ready Ready Communities. Communities. In March March 2015, 2015, the the village village was was notified notified of ofbeing being selected selected for for participation in the statewide redevelopment ready communities program. It is a vol­ untary, untary, no-cost program assisting local municipalities to establish foundations for redevelopment and invest­ ment. Council must approve a resolution of support to be part of the program. The council will vote on the issue at their Aug. 12 meeting. • Council agreed to rebid the projects to be done using Michigan Department of Natural Resources Trust Fund grants. Only two bids were received for the work. The state requires a mini­ mum of three bids for grant projects. The village is work­ ing with Viridis Design team on the project that will extend the Paul Henry Trail, create the community pavil­ ion and add the boat launch along the river, among other improvements. Viridis staff recommended rebidding the projects in January when the village will more likely receive more bids and more favorable and competitive bids. The village has three years to complete the project using the grant funds. If the project is rebid in January, work will be expected to start in spring 2015. • Council will consider a renewal of the agreement with the Barry County Economic Development Alliance. The village has partnered with the Economic Development Alliance for at least nine years. The Economic Development Alliance assists in providing economic development serv­ ices for Middleville busi­ nesses and residents. The agreement will continue at the same rate of $2,500 per year. Council will vote on the agreement at its Aug. 12 meeting.

Enforcement is sometimes difficult and vil­ lage officials have pondered other ways of keeping the sidewalks clear. Some council members wonder if it's the best use of the village funds noting it would have to be included as an annual budgeted item. Council member Sue Reyff said she believes it is a service residents would appreciate. She noted the city of Fremont has provided this type of service for several years. Reyff and other vil­ lage council members visited Fremont earlier this summer as part of the Mayor Exchange program where they learned more about the city's efforts. Other council members wondered why the entire village should pay for the serv­ ice even in areas where there are no sidewalks. Council member Ed Schellinger said he lives in an area where “I think we should look at another survey or get more input from the residents somehow before we decided. We need to see if this is something the com­ munity really wants.” Council member Shannon Haigh there are no sidewalks and he’s been talking to resi­ dents about the idea. Some, foe sajd, wonder why they should pay for it when they don't have sidewalks and that maybe maintaining side­ walks should be viewed as part of property ownership responsibility. One idea is for the village to designate only certain areas that would be cleared - the most highly-used sidewalks. Other options are simply to bill people if they don't comply with the ordinance in place. Council decided not to make a decision yet, but instead wait for more public input. Comments can be directed to the village coun­ cil by calling the village office at 794-3385 or submitting comments in writing to the village council at 100 East Main Street. Wayland 216 N.

Larry Knowles Yankee Springs Township Yankee Springs Township Zoning Administrator Frank Fiala, Chair of PC Endangered Species Act from now through September. Each week, an important species will be featured. What's brown and white and found all over Michigan? Bald eagles. The story of the bald eagle is a tragedy turned into a tale of redemption and success. In the-earliest records of birds in Michigan, bald eagles were reported to be found nesting from Monroe County in the south all the way up to Gogebic County in the north. In fact, bald eagles were found from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from northern Canada all the way to Mexico, and their num­ bers were estimated to be as high as 100,000 nesting birds. By 1950, however, bald eagle numbers had been on a slow decline for a couple of centuries as people destroyed their habitat, ate their food and killed them to protect livestock and the small game animals that were part of their diet. This decline accelerated dramatically in the 1950s due mostly to the increasing use of pesticides that con­ tained DDT coupled with increased industrial produc­ tion that used PCBs. These chemicals became concen­ trated in the eagles’ prey and accumulated in the eagles' bodies. They weakened the eagles’ eggs so that they were crushed when the adult birds tried to incubate them and also led to higher rates of death in adult eagles. By 1963, fewer than 1,000 nesting eagles remained. Due to the banning of DDT and PCBs by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and increased pro­ tection of eagles and their habitat under the U.S. Endangered Species Act and Endangered Michigan’s Species Act, the eagle has recovered to a point where its existence is no longer imper­ iled, with estimates of more than 20,000 nesting eagles in the Lower 48 states. With more than 700 active eagle nests in the state, peo­ ple may encounter bald eagles almost anywhere in Michigan. Nests are found in almost all of the state’s 83 counties. Nesting birds tend to be secretive and sensitive to disturbance, and they don’t build nests in areas with significant human activity. But when they find a place that works for them, they will return to the same nest year after year, slowly building it bigger over time. One nest was found that was 30 years old and weighed two tons. In the spring and summer, eagles are fairly solitary, and each pair will defend its nest site from interlopers. During the winter, however, birds will congregate anywhere that open water or other food sources can be found. Groups of up to 10 to 15 birds are often reported along open water on rivers and warm-water discharge - For more information on 40th anniversary celebration, areas for power plants, as Michigan’s threatened and v ii s . 1 car-­ endangered species and the www.michigan.gov/wildlife4.* well as feeding on the car casses of road-killed deer.

In fact, clear communica­ tions are essential to devel­ oping a successful estate plan. You should not only tell your family members — and anyone else affected by your estate plan — what you are thinking of doing but also inform them about the pro­ fessionals with whom you are working and the loca­ tions in which you are stor­ ing any vital documents, such as your will. By identifying your goals, working with the appropriate professionals to create an effective estate plan, and communicating regularly with your family members and other “key players” in your life, you can go a long way toward leaving the legacy you desire. So, do what it takes to launch that legacy.

First, for the first time in many years, the district rati­ fied multi-year contracts with the two unions repre­ senting teachers and support staff in the district. And second, the district will be able to refinance bonds that will lower millage rates for district residents and save the district more than $2 million over the life of those bonds. fooog 10113/1 IfiOUbH ub 3d i 0£ 3d I 12 ’ vnsm boil I) diiw anun'j'' m lisp bn A r| Hi // abnod t 23J/M V bib J fisd J Bodl io • <r I I Tom Superintendent ^uperintenaent 10m Enslen said he's very happy with both both pieces pieces of of news news and and with an exciting way to begin the new school year. “I want to publicly express how much 1 appreciate these contracts,” said Enslen. This is exactly what this district and community needs at exactly the right time. For the next three years, we can just focus on educating our students. I’m so pleased with this out­ come. The board unanimously approved the three-year con­ tracts for both groups Monday night after the union . groups also ratified the conll 44 I tracts. Enslen said he can't remember the last time the district had three-year contract agreements in place. Enslen said he was grate­ ful to everyone involved in the negotiation processes from the two groups and the district. It’s a difficult thing to do. I don't know if I've ever seen or heard of better con­ versations involved in the process than what we had, said Enslen. He said it is unhealthy for the district and community to have to go through negotia­ tions every7 year and said he especially appreciates the 44 *4 multi-year contract. He and other administrators say they can't remember the last time a three-year contract was in place. Board member Joyce Bobolts also expressed her thanks to the people involved in the negotiations. I don't know the words to express our gratitude and appreciation for working together and coming to these agreements,'' Bobolts said. It means a lot for the dis­ trict.” The two union organiza­ tions are the Thornapple Kellogg Education Association (TKEA) and the Kellogg Thomapple *4 44 *b Education Support Personnel Association. We are pleased to have reached a three-year agree­ ment. The district as a whole is much healthier if we are negotiating less often,'' said Ray Rickert. TKEA presi­ dent. “Negotiations went smoothly and we felt that we were able to have honest and discussions productive throughout the process. We wreath appreciate the trans­ parency that Mike Hagerty brought to the table. Hagerty, assistant superin­ tendent of the Kent Intermediate School District, served as interim finance director for TK and was an *4 4* instrumental member of the contract negotiation process. Enslen said a big conces­ sion was given by the support staff personnel with a change in health insurance that will leave some families searching for other options. “But that allows us to avoid having to privatize at all. We re able to retain our ow n people and keep them in That's our district. That ’s very important.” said Enslen. “We want to keep them here. We know they are good for our kids and we know about con­ cerns with privatization.” He said state wide approx i- See CONTRACTS, page 15 Middleville manager finalist Township asking for bond to update emergency equipment to be Battle Creek manager ■ by Julie Makarewicz I to the Middleville Village council members Tuesday night after the township board.approved seeking the bonds at their meeting Monday night. The bonds will mean an increase in taxes for town­ ship residents of an estimat­ ed 0.66 mills the first year of the bonds. The millage rate will vary each year after, but is expected to decrease each year after that, according to Township Supervisor Mike Bremer. explained Middleton over the next ten years the department will have need for an estimated $2.02 mil- lion in equipment replace­ ment needs. Residents currently pay 1.5 mills for emergency services that goes toward operational costs as well as equipment needs. That mill­ age rate provides on aver­ age $361.000 per year. Middleton explained about $220,000 of that amount goes to the fire fund operations and another $72,000 goes to the EMS operations. He explained the average appropriation for capital improvements is $25,000 per year, while the by Julie Makarew icz Staff Writer Middleville village manag­ er Rebecca Fleury is among the five finalists for the Battle Creek city manager position.

Fleury noted she contacted all the village council mem­ bers about her application for the job so that there wouldn't See BOND, page 12 be any surprises if the council heard about it elsewhere. Fleury was named as a final­ ist for a Kalamazoo city man­ ager position a year ago and was chastised by some coun­ cil members for not inform­ ing them of her interest in । seeking other opportunities. The Kalamazoo job eventual­ ly was awarded to former Battle Creek Assistant City Manager Jim Ritsema. To ward off any similar comments from the village council this time, Barry County Sheriff's Middleville unit Sgt. Tony Stein addressed the council during the public comment section at Tuesday’s meeting. “It’s been an honest pleas­ ure working with Rebecca as village manager for the past four years. She puts her heart and soul into this place. I would never shun someone for wanting to improve them­ selves.

Thomapple Kellogg High School junior Aaron Moederzoon said the new rehab device has been a huge benefit to getting him back . t rf1’® Ji!* < id ^0 'ity i,<.; Lindsay Vertalka, physical therapist and owner of First Rehab in Middleville, zips Aaron Moederzoon into the “AlterG" anti-gravity treadmill for a workout physically and mentally for the upcoming football sea­ son. “It is pretty awesome,” said Moederzoon of the treadmill that he worked out on regularly after seriously injuring his knee dunng foot­ ball training a year ago. After two surgeries to repair the tom ligaments and tendons in his Iknee, Aaron Moederzoon is pictured using the "AlterG” anti-gravity treadmill. His lower body is encased in a special air chamber that can reduce his body weight while still allowing normal movement of his upper body. 1 •“Sue WiNIk back on it right away. It’s amazing. I just felt like I was floating kind of.” he said “And at first I was really scared about trying to run aFa,n and hurting my knee. *• but it was really easy.

She said it’s done wonders for her 17-year-old son Aren, who became partially para­ lyzed after surgeries for a spinal birth defect. He’s able to walk with a walker, but she said he’s not as mobile as she hopes he can be one day. “He’s in love with it. It takes the weight off for him so he can just go, go, go. It’s really miraculous to watch him on it. He feels like he’s running and he’s getting so much stronger,” said Susan. She said her son also has some anxiety issues that sometimes make rehabilita­ tion work difficult and that he’s nervous trying to use a regular treadmill. But the anti-gravity device, she said, makes him feel more secure. “I think because he’s kind of encased in it he feels more secure. It’s been a God-send for us,” Susan said. They travel 80 miles round trip twice each week from their home in Martin to Allegan’s Hillside Learning Center where Aren attends to school and then Middleville for therapy. The anti-gravity treadmill unweights a person to walk or run between 20 and 1 (X) percent of their normal body weight. To use the device, a person first puts on a special pair of running shorts then steps into the treadmill I 1 1 I < ■ ■ ■ rl I Iw 171 I * A \ “St. chamber. An enclosure lifts around the person's lower body and zips to the top edge of the running shorts. The AlterG then calculates the user’s body weight and the user can then enter the percentage of body weight they wish to work out at. The patented air chamber device inflates around the lower body and the pressure lifts the weight off a person. The treadmill then works like any other treadmill and the person can set the speed and incline and run or walk at their own pace. As the user improves, more weight can be added gradually until the person is at full body weight again. Susan said she’s been very impressed with the physical strength her son has been able to gain as well as the confidence. I can’t tell you how excit­ ed he was the first time he got on it and felt like he was running,” she said. “My goal is for him to be able to walk without a walk­ er, and I truly believe this machine is helping us get there,” she said. “It may not be for everyone. But it’s worth a try and I would highly recommend trying it at least,” said Susan. Lindsay said she first saw the treadmill in use at a center in Steamboat Springs, Colo, Her friends there encouraged her to get one for her physical therapy patients. ll 25th ANNUAL ANO CLARKSVILLE STEAM AND GAS ENGINE SHOW August 21, 22, 23, 2014 • • • • • ® ■» w < I MU * I ■14 tl Recognition sought for Thornapple Kellogg retirees 1 Staff Writer Retired Thornapple Kellogg teacher Kevin McGee asked the board of education Monday night to consider reinstating some way of honoring retirees for their years of service to the district.

He asked the board to con­ sider reinstatin some type of retirement recognition whether it's something done at a board meeting, a coffee time, or a dinner. “To me it’s a travesty that we have people who dedicate their lives here to this district and leave with a whimper and not a celebration,” he said.

Now, First Rehab is one of only four centers in West Michigan to have the AtlerG treadmill. There are only about 20 in the entire state according to company infor­ mation. Lindsay said she's usin: the treadmill now with all kinds of patients and seeing all kinds of results. First Rehab also uses a camera system with the treadmill so users can watch their gait and stride on a screen in front of them. For patients like Moederzoon it was a helpful tool that showed him how to run normal again. I ran really flat footed for awhile. But I could see it on the screen so I could pay attention to how I was run­ ning and change it,” he said. Lindsay said the treadmill can even help motivate peo­ ple to lose weight by actually feeling what it would be like to run with 30 less pounds on their body. “It’s very easy and nonthreatening to use. Once peopie get in and try it, they love it and they love they way they feel being able to move without pain,” said Lindsay. She said elite runners, Olympic athletes and profes­ sional sports teams have used the AlterG treadmill for training purposes. Physical Therapist Ryan Gary af First Rehab uses the treadmill to help him train for upcoming marathon races. ' Although she said the treadmill is intended mostly for rehab patients. First Rehab and Sport will offer the treadmill for use as avail­ able by anyone for $50 per month for up to three times per week at 30 minutes per session. : For More Information Call: ; Vickie or Will 3207 M-37, Middleville, Ml www.qymnasticsinmotion.com FALL REGISTRATION 4 (269) 795-7121 269-79S-7620 d- J • Fall classes beginning Tuesday, September 2nd Office Hours for Registration: Mon., Tues., Wed. & Thur., 9-12, Mon. or Tues.

Trucks and trailers are expected to be pulling into the grounds at approxi­ mately 7:30 a.m. There is a enormous amount of work to be done before the show begins. The first tasks are to take care of the animals that are prime performers in the shows. They need to be exercised, • fed, watered, and made com­ fortable for the day. The same also applies to the human performers who will be busy checking costumes and equipment. The most traditional of activities, the raising of the tent or the ‘Big Top’ as it is called, will take place at 9 a.m. This is when the circus elephants put on their show. Elephants continue to be used as work animals throughout Asia and parts of Africa; this this isis an an opportunity opportunity Africa; to see see them them performing performing aa to task tas^ for f°r which they have been carefully trained. There will be horses with performers on them at show time. There will be dogs who race around performing their tricks, camels, llamas and zebras to perform their paces and Tigers will entertain w**h their liquid feline grace. The circus is a place where it is all right to be a clown. Perhaps those who missed Malvino when he was at the YMCA Day Care center and at the Caledonia Public Library two weeks ago will have a chance to see him again as he juggles, rides his unicycle, and does magic tricks.

Don’t let retirement plans go bust It takes a village to count OUr blessings If you’re a baby boomer, you’re at the point in life where, if you haven’t actual­ ly entered retirement, you’re at least approaching the out­ skirts. But if you’re like many of your fellow boomers, you may be experi­ encing more than a little trepidation over your finan­ cial prospects as a retiree. That’s why it’s so important for you to determine what steps to take to help improve your chances of enjoying a comfortable retirement. Just how worried are baby boomers about their future? Consider these numbers: Seventy-two percent of nonretired boomers think they will probably be forced to delay retirement, and 50% have little confidence that they will ever be able to To the editor: retire, according to a recent AARP survey. Other surveys show a similarly bleak outlook among the baby boom generation. Fortunately, when it comes to building resources for retirement, you have options. Of course, if you’re in one of the younger age cohorts of the baby boom generation, your possibilities are greater — you may still have time to take measures such as boosting your401(k) and IRA IRA contributions, contributions, and reducing your debts and positioning your your portfolio portfolio to to positioning provide you you with with aa reasonreason­ provide able amount amount of of growth growth able potential.

For one thing, you could re-evaluate your planned date of retirement. If you really don’t mind your job and could extend your working life for even a coupie of years, you could help yourself enormously in at least three ways: • You'll add on to your retirement accounts. The longer you work, the more you can contribute to your IRA and your 401 (k) or other employers-sponsored account. • You may be able to delay taking Social Security. You can istart taking Social Security as early as age 62, but your benefits will be per­ manently reduced unless you wait until your vour Full Retirement Age (FRA), which will likely be 66 or 67. Your payments can increase if you delay taking your ben­ efits beyond your Full Retirement Age, up to age 70. • You mav he able to delay tapping into your retirement vehicles. The longer you wait until you begin withdrawals from your IRA and 401(k), the more time you are giving these accounts to potentially grow. (Once you turn 70 _, you will need to generally start taking withdrawals from a traditional IRA and a 401(k) or similar plan, but you don't face this require­ ment with a Roth 401 (k) account.) As an alternative to delay­ ing your retirement — or possibly as an additional step you can take along with a delay — you may be able to adjust your investment mix to provide you with the com­ bination of growth and income that can help carry you through your retirement years. You can also be strate­ gic about which investments you start taking withdrawals from, possibly allowing your portfolio to grow more than you had envisioned. Start thinking now about ways you can help yourself achieve the retirement lifestyle you've pictured. You may want to consult with a professional financial advisor who can suggest the strategies and techniques most appropriate for your sit­ uation. In any case, with some careful planning, you can be a boomer whose retirement plans don't go bust.

Interest rates are down and we're going to be able to take advantage of that and see some savings. Blitchok said financial advisors for the district rec­ ommended the refinancing of the 2004 bonds that will save about $972,000 in inter­ est over the life of the bond. Another bond from the school revolving loan fund can be refinanced to save an estimated $1.3 million over the life of the bond. The 41 bonds are scheduled to be paid off in 2022 and 2032. Blitchok explained not only does it save the district money over years of interest payments, but it also means the district can reduce the current millage rate by 0.62 mills. Originally the district's millage rate was estimated to be set at 10.27 mills because of a state mandated increase to cover current debts. Because of the refinancing, the millage rate will actually be at 9.65 mills, according to Blitchok. The millage will be levied in December. ex — • <4? 1T\T A T TT JL1N xV JLjLvJJlV1\L • > < aDead for fast take out! * rV' </ </ Check out our Facebook Page for a i our Daily Specials r|r> t BIG« EASY DELI • BAKERY "A Flairfor New Orleans ” Monday-Saturday 7am-3pm CD 126 E.

Seated in the Port-a-Tank pool is fireman Todd Kortenhoven; seated in the boat is his would-be res­ cuer, fireman Kyle Poeller. On the platform and catwalk are Chelsea Bromley (from left), and Kaylee Kortenhoven. Both men are dunked by the women as Poel,er foils out of the boat, remarked fire chief Brian Bennett. Gesturing at the equipment spread out around him, he added, "It's a water event so we have all our res­ cue equipment out. We can rescue you from the swimmihg pool to icy water." And, indeed, the array of equipment was impressive. So was the family sup­ port. Among the department spouses present was Marcia Bennett, who said she really did not like heights but was gamely waiting on the aerial truck at the end of the dunk­ ing line. Other spouses and friends present were Kaylee Kortenhoven, Amy Muller, Sherri Schuringa, Sarah Bennett, Shannon Richardson, Jennifer Venema, Amy Kamphuis, and Chelsea Bromley. Also present to cheer them on was Jason Roth, a firefighter cur­ rently unable to participate l due to recent surgery. Audited results for the challenging departments were not available at press time, but audited results ver­ ified by Caledonia firefighter spouse and Township Clerk Jennifer Venema showed the Caledonia Department raised $610 to support research efforts for ALS. :1 hili GET ALL THE NEWS I I OF BARRY COUNTY!

That scenario occured in Barry County last month when a severe thunderstorm packing hail and 60-mph winds rolled through Yankee Springs State Recreation Area on a hot and humid Sunday afternoon. In just minutes, as the storm formed, park rangers were faced with a daunting task: ensuring the safety of the hundreds of visitors enjoying f the park’s campgrounds, pic­ nic areas and lakes. After a flurry of activity — directing visitors to storm shelters, checking on the welfare of campers, avoiding trees that were toppled by the wind, wind, and and assessing assessing other other damage to the park — the weather eventually calmed and and itit became became clear clear to to the the rangers that their mission had been accomplished. Everyone was safe and unharmed, and the park’s rangers could point to their diligent planning and prepa- 06848296 X. \ , .

According to the park's manager, the happy ending can be partly attributed to the National Weather Service’s “StormReady" program — a voluntary initiative that helps emergency managers and and community communitv leaders leaders strengthen local safety and preparedness measures by ensuring they have the latest technology and communica­ tion tools (such as weather radios, emergency sirens and public address systems) I in place to deal with sudden severe weather events. “We are in the process of | applying to be certified as a | StormReady facility, so we had the action plan and equipment in place that helped our staff handle the weather event in an organ­ ized manner,” said park manager Andru Jevicks. “Before the storm hit, our rangers got out into the campgrounds, picnic and beach areas, and boat launches, letting people know where they could take cover should a warning be issued, and it all went very smoothly,” Jevicks added. “This is not something you do on the fly. Being StormReady helps a lot.” In Michigan, 17 state parks are certified by the NWS as StormReady, with •i : / I • SHORT I Tues., 8:15 — 2 person League Fri., 6:45 — 4 Person - Every Other Week Sat., 7:00 — 4 Person - Once a Month Jr. BOWLING After School Sept. 18th ■ 3:40 ■ t OPEN BOWLING s1.25 r ALL DAY EVERY DAY THROUGH AUGUST 31 11 STILL TIME TO JOIN A LEAGUE!

Nationwide, more than 2,000 facilities have received the designation since the pro­ gram began in 1999. “With millions of visitors coming to our parks each summer, we decided to take a proactive approach to weather safety and developed a partnership with the National Weather Service,”’ said said Michael Michael Evanoff, Evanoff, safety safety officer with the Michigan Department of Natural and Resources Parks Recreation Division. “Through commitment and. dedication to visitor safety, our employees have made this program a great success and the DNR is working toward making all of our state parks and recreation areas StormReady,” Evanoff said. According to the NWS, StormReady communities are better prepared to save lives from the onslaught of severe weather through advanced planning, education and awareness, Michigan weather can be calm and tranquil — just per­ feet for enjoying our many state parks — but it can also become severe and dangerous rather quickly,” said Richard Pollman, warning coordina­ tion meteorologist at the National Weather Service’s Detroit/Pontiac office. “Being prepared is key,” Pollman added, “ and Michigan state parks have taken significant steps toward preparedness through this partnership with the National Weather Service.” To be recognized as StormReady, parks must have a system in place to monitor the weather, receive weather alerts, and alert employees and visitors. Michigan's StormReady state parks have also devel­ oped formal hazardous weather plans, which include training staff as weather spotters and holding emergency practice exercises. StormReady parks display road signs at the entrances to inform visitors of the pro­ gram. When visitors see these signs, they can be confident that the park’s staff has put significant time and concerted effort into preparing for severe weather events. “I know for a fact that our visitors feel more comfort­ able knowing they’ll be noti­ fied in the case of severe weather," said Interlochen State Park manager Chris Stark. “Even in the absence of severe weather, they've mentioned that they notice and appreciate the signs.” While receiving StormReady certification does not mean a facility is storm proof, trained staff undoubtedly has an advan­ tage when it comes to help­ ing visitors safely weather the storm when severe weather strikes.

(Photo by Brett Bremer) by Brett Bremer Sport \ Editor Tom Burrill is back. Bumll was a coach in the Byron ( enter football pro gram for a year, spent a few falls as a JV and varsity assistant at Caledonia High School. He's coached golf and girls' basketball in recent seasons at Caledonia. Now he is now back in the position he left after the 2007 season, as the head coach of the Fighting Scot varsity f<x>tball team. He lead his team on the field Saturday in Ralph E. Meyers Stadium during the annual Meet the Scots event which included a varsity imrasquao scrimmage, intrasquad scrimmage. a JV/freshmen JV/freshmen scrimmage, scrimmage. a youth Punt, Pass and 40-yard dash competition, as well as performances from the varsi ty cheerleaders and the high school marching band. Bumll didn't always plan to come back to the varsity position at Caledonia, but the time suddenly felt right. “I have a son that's a sophomore (Zach) that's Make a date with Adventure. * GO tWFLDftX UVbT m moji A Your foil color adventure begins with a one-doy Canadian Wilderness roil excursion, then experience all that Sault Ste Marie has to offer, including the 'new7 Heritage Discovery Centre, Canadian Bushplane Heritage Centre, Art Gallery of Algoma, and Parks Canada Con 9 Packages start at just $178. Fall Tours Sept. 13 - Oct. 13, 2014 playing (JV)." Bumll said “I've coached everyone else's kids for the last 19 years. I put my heart and soul into this school and I thought if my kid is going to be here." What else am I going to do? I love doing it. I’m going to do it somewhere. 1 might as well do it here, with him coming up. We’ve got other coaches' kids coming up. That just kind of led right into it.” He replaces Steve Uyl, who took over the program in 200K. The Scots were 40­ 22 in Uyl's six seasons, reaching the state playoffs three times. The Fighting Scots won the 2005 Division 3 State Championship with Bumll at the helm. While Burrill hasn’t really ■been away from ■ ~ " football, being a varsity head coach is different than a JV coach or an assistant. You don’t realize how much time it takes until you're in it.' Burrill said “1 probably put more time in this year than I ever have. It just takes longer now. You hope you learn. You try to concentrate on things you can concentrate on and you try to control things you can control. “As a coach, you are always thinking. I've been up early. As a JV coach, you i* - ’7 id 1 I fi- w I I SUM Tom Burrill looks on as his Caledonia varsity football players stretch out before the start of their intrasquad scrimmage Saturday during the Meet the Scots event in Caledonia. Burrill is returning to the varsity head coaching job after six years off from that position. (Photo by Brett Bremer) sleep in and you sleep well.” Things will be a little dif­ ferent this time around. Burrill plans to have a more up-tempo offensive attack. “We’ve got a lot of kids out. We've got 55 kids on our varsity. They've condi­ tioned hard this summer. They’re in good shape," Burrill said. “We're going to try to wear teams down physically so in the fourth quarter we have that in our back Pocket- where we re in great shape and we’re going to win those games. WeTe going to have a lot of games come down to the last seven minutes of the game. Last year, we lost two in the last minute. This year we re hop­ ing to win those. The Scots were 5-4 last fall. Before the intrasquad scrimmage Saturday, varsity players took time outlo sign autographs for young fans. The autograph session was followed by the Punt, Pass and 40-yard dash competi­ tion. Anthony Kauffman won all three categories in the first and second grade com­ petition. Jaiden Goggins won the title in all three third and fourth grade competitions. Luke Windsor won the fifth and sixth grade titles in the punt and 40-yard dash, while the passing win went to Joseph Silveri. Luke House won the pass and 40-yard ty players took part in the events at Meet the Scots day in their younger years. “It’s good for them to give back to the kids. The com­ munity loves it," Burrill said. “It's a beautiful day. You couldn't ask for a better day than this. We had great par­ ent volunteers who nin it. We just have great parents. I think it’s a fun day for every­ body.

Students who were either attending the freshman orientation or at the high school for other reasons gladly volunteered to dump the icy buckets of water over the heads of the administrators.

Petersen was named the new high school principal, filling the position vacated by Tony Koski this summer. Since 2011, Petersen had served as principal al Central Montcalm High School in Stanton. He said the appeal of the community made him decide to apply for the job at TKHS. “Everything I’ve heard about this district is that there is just incredible com­ munity support and a lot of involved parents. You don’t et that everywhere. It’s very exciting,” he said. After his hirin was announced, Petersen said his e-mail ini x was flooded with welcomin messages from parents, administrators and staff. * “It solidified for me that this is a great community and there is a great support for education,” he said. “It just said to me that I'm in the right place.” Thornapple Kellogg is also a bigger school that Central Montcalm, he said, and offers opportunities for professional growth. Petersen said he wants the »!• monthly parent meetings at 8 a.m. the first Friday of each month.

He knows the job of a high school principal is demand­ ing, but Petersen said it’s a challenge he welcomes. “Some days I miss the classroom and leaching the kids,” he said. “But this is just another opportunity to help students by helping the teachers find better ways to teach and reach all students.” Petersen cites a cultural change at Central Montcalm High School as one of his greatest success stories of his administrative career. “In the three years 1 was there, we went from being near the bottom in lest scores Anthony Petersen to near the top.

Before moving into administration. administration, Petersen taught history, science and math. Prior to his duties at Central Montcalm High School, he was the high school principal at Wavecrest Career Academy in Holland from 2008 to 2011.

Petersen earned his bache­ lor of science degree in 2001 from Indiana Wesleyan University with majors in social studies education and history. He earned his mas­ ters degree at Grand Valley State University in 2007 in educational leadership. Petersen was among about 50 candidates vying for the TKHS job and underwent a lengthy interview process, including parent and student participation. TKHS assistant principal Kelli Wegner also was among the final candidates, but withdrew from the job search before a final decision was made. She continues to serve as the assistant principal for the high school. f 0 8 I J F I f iM I - il*1* as. to .

Michigan horse and turkeys found West Nile Virus positive * I I i & i<r* V J u 4 I * rI • I 1 ■ ' The Michigan Departments of Agriculture and Rural Development and Community Health Friday announced an 8-year-old horse front Grand Traverse County tested positive for West Nile Virus and was euthanized after failing to respond to treatment and supportive care. The gelding had not received an annual vaccination against West Nile Virus, Other horses at the premises have since been vaccinated against the disease. MDARD also was recently notified a small turkey flock in Ingham County was affect­ ed by WNV with high death losses due to the disease. “The virus has affected poultry in the past,” said State Veterinarian James Averill, “and both of these unfortunate losses stand as reminders that we should all be diligent about vaccinating our horses, using mosquito repellent, keeping water troughs fresh and clean, and emptying any containers of water not intended for animal use.” “Anytime we find West Nile Vims in animals, this serves as an opportunity to remind peopie that they also need to take precautions to protect themselves from mosquito bites,” said Dr. Matthew Davis, chief medical executive of the MDCH. “While we have not had a positive human case so far this season, we do know that it is circulating in the environment, so residents should take precautions to protect themselves and their families.” In addition to vaccinating horses against WNV, the following mosauito mosquito control measures should be utilized: Use insect repellents, following label directions. If possible, place horses in barns or stables under fans during dusk, dawn and other times when mosquitoes are present. Eliminate mosquito breeding areas, including wet areas of pastures. • Fill in puddles. Repair gutters and down­ spouts to prevent pooling around building foundations. Empty containers that might hold small pools of water where mosquitoes can breed, Drain water tanks once or twice weekly. Additionally, consider control of mosquitoes in ponds and large water containers through the use of larvacides and fish.

They came from states around Michigan such as Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin, Ohio, Kentucky. "We We started using professional learning communities in Caledonia about seven years ago,” said Jim Glazier, principal, CHS. He contin­ ued, using the example of an . algebra class, saying, "Five sections of Algebra I. Some do better than others with the same material. In a profes­ sional learning community, the five teachers sit down and discuss how they taught it. Maybe one of them did something very simple that made the difference; so everybody can try it.” words. Glazier In other words, summarized, the sharing of experience and techniques becomes a collaborative process. When queried about how this would work in small schools where there may be only one teacher for one Algebra I class, he clarified, "It works across districts as well.” The concept of professional learning communities has excited a great many people who are searching for 'ways to engage and motivate students of all ages and back­ grounds across math, sci­ ences, reading, English language arts, and the arts, There was conversation about measuring progress and assessing progress. In a professional learning com­ munity as illustrated at the conference, the aim is to figure out why students don't 1learn and to structure the school culture to promote learning. COME AND SEE ALL OUR NEW FRAMES Anthony Muhammad, Ph.D, Michigan State University, is one of the leading proponents of the professional learning community and included his. remarks how it transforms school cultures. "We have come through the age of Americanization with a culture composed of diversity,” tremendous pointed out Muhammad. “The function of the school was to create A a common American culture. The new function of the school is aca­ demics." Using his own experi­ ence growing up in Flint, in the 1970's, Muhammad pro­ vided vivid example of changing school culture.

With the failure of a British naval attack on Fort McHenry in Baltimore harbor September 1814, Francis Scott Key was inspired by the sight of the 15-star, 15 stripe United States flag flying over the fort’s ramparts. A year before, Major George Armistead, the American commander at Fort McHenry in Baltimore Harbor, had requested two large 15-star flags for the toil: a 30-by-42-foot great garrison flag and smaller 17­ by-25-foot storm Hag, to be 9 I SAME PAY 4 PROCESSING At Printing Plus we don’I send your film out-of-town or out of the U.S. We develop and process ON-SITE at our Hastings store!

Mary Young Pickersgill, a Baltimore seamstress, was commissioned to create the flags at a cost of $405.90 for the garrison flag and $168.54 for the storm flag. The British attack on Fort McHenry Sept. 13 and 14, 1814, inspired Key to write the lyric “In Defence of Fort M’Henry” to the tune of “To Anacreon in Heaven.” Key’s lyric was quickly printed and then re-named “The StarSpangled Banner” and performed publicly in the Baltimore area. It wasn't until President ncrucn Herbert noover Hoover signea signed an Act of Congress March 3, 1931, that the “The Star Spangled Banner” officially became the national anthem of the United States.

Every dose of every vaccine is important to pro­ tect your child and others in the community from infec- tious diseases." Today’s childhood vac­ cines protect against serious and potentially life threaten­ ing diseases, including polio, measles, whooping cough and chicken pox. When children are not vaccinated, they are at increased risk and can spread diseases to others in their families and communities, including babies who are too young to be fully vaccinated and people with weakened immune systems due to cancer or other health conditions.

Bremer also utilized shorthand for dictation of meeting minutes, a rare tal­ ent in today's technological environment. Charlton Park representa­ tives Shannon Ritzer and Claire Johnston gave Bremer a gift of appreciation in the form of a Team Charlton Park T-shirt. Bremer volun­ teered there for numerous years. “I am guessing about as long as I have been alive,” joked Ritzer. “She was the first volunteer I worked with when I came on board, and her support has been invalu­ able.” Catherine Getty, zoning administrator, gave Bremer a bundle of Barry Bucks, “to spend however you want. This is a small token of our appreciation for the years you supported us. Thank you.” Several guests told of their experience with Bremer, recounting stories of her unending commitment to her family, to her church and to the community. ’ Known under the aliases ‘Angel Lady,’ for her exten- Whitneyville Bible Church est tember 1W *Games It l tFfiLllL ■ Pig>Roast *Music I *Contests Fun!

Bremer also works with sev­ eral ladies in the community making sleeping bags for the homeless, which are distrib­ uted throughout Southwest Michigan. “We are currently trans­ forming the draperies from the now closed Mid Villa Inn, to become quilts,” added the elder Bremer. She has been a recording secretary for the Thomapple Township board for over 26 years, for Thomapple Township planning and zon­ ing board for over 12 years, and for the village of Middleville for eight years. Recently celebrating her 88th birthday, Bremer announced her retirement from recording secretary position in June. Also a volunteer for the Commission On Aging, Bremer was recognized as Senior Citizen of the Year in 2004.

Carol said even with the miles and miles she’s logged, she's never suffered a serious injury, although a bout of plantar fasciitis slowed her considerably for more than a year. Still, she’s grateful she’s able to run. “Running for me is just something that makes me feel better.

They relied on the flat four back, and that was it and eventually they get worn out ^rid tired. The Trojans went up by a goal three times in the first half, the first two times on goals by Kyle Clark, but Wyoming always had an answer. Guy Piccione knocked a low shot into the near ilower comer on the left side, after getting a pass ahead from Tyler Pohl, to put the Trojans up 3-2 in the final minutes of the first half.

Andrusiak motioned to their two jerseys, 41 (Soule) and 7 (Andrusiak). That score didn't last long, and neither did the game, as a fumbled snap by Harper Creek put the Scots in posi­ tion to add a 1-yard touchdown run by Eddie Kelly which upped the lead to 48-7 with Austin Watrous’ extra­ point kick. That lead sent the clock running, and that was how - the game would finish as Caledonia’s varsity football team team improved improved to to 1-0 Thursday, “We know they're a good team, but on our schedule this is a game we had to win,’’ said Caledonia head coach Tom Burrill. “We had to send a statement to just say, ’you know what, we’re going to play good football.’ We’re going to have to.” The Scots weren't perfect early on.

Caledonia's varsity vol­ leyball team has seven sen­ iors this fall, including fouryear varsity defensive spe­ cialist Mackenzi Bredeweg and three-year varsity middle hitter Jenna Schumaker. Middle hitter Jessica Marvin, outside hitters Jenna Walma and Sam Jansma, defensive specialist Liz Brown and setter Leah Metzler are all back for their second varsity seasons. Fighting Scot head coach Katie Webber said she has a close team this season, one that feels like a family. Like a family, the Scots have things to work through. Webber said sophomores Jenna Asper and Lauren VanderWal will help the team on the perimeter this season, and freshman Gaby Harper is a talented middle that the program is excited to include. Having youngsters with a group of seniors there is some meshing to be done. “We are learning every day to work together as a team," Webber said.

Hard work can help this year's relatively inexperi­ enced group of Fighting Scots improve quickly. They are already off to a good start. The Scots won Thursday’s East Grand Rapids Pioneer Classic by five points over runner-up Forest Hills Northern, 50-55. One of the most experi­ enced Scot runners, senior Flynn Darby, led the way.

There are only two guys on the team, Noah Dion and Brogen Hormel, who have more than one year of varsity experience. “These two guys are only playing in doubles for their second year each, and they have a partner whom they have not played with before,” Bont said. . Dion is moving from sec­ ond doubles to first doubles, where he will team with Patrick Gantos who started at that position last fall. Hormel is moving from third to sec- ond doubles, where he is ;oin to be teamed with sophomore Michael sophomore VanSuilichem. Another VanSuilichem. sophomore, Travis Hamp, will fill a third doubles slot. Bont said his guys are eager to learn and improve though, and are working to adjust to the varsity level of play. All the singles players are in new positions, including Julian Buchan. iuchan is a sophomore who is slated for the first singles spot after playing second singles last year. Buchan was second at first singles at the season opening Jenison Invitational. Caledonia was third as a team at the invitational, with SEIF SOUTHKENT VETERINARY HOSPITAL CHIROPRACTIC •- the fourth doubles team tak­ ing first and the third doubles team placing second. The Scots open OK White Conference play at Forest Hills Central Sept. 8. It should be another very competitive year in the OK White. Forest Hills Central, East Grand Rapids and Grand Rapids Christian should all be just about as strong as ever. Bont said his team would ultimately like to finish in the top three in the conference and in the top half of its regional, but at the moment the guys are just looking to improve each time out on the court. / IfIff* h\* Brett Bremer Sports Editor Caledonia was fifth in the OK While Conference last year, out of six teams. The four teams ahead of the Scots were more than just good. Grand Rapids Christian's varsity girls’ cross country team was the state champion in Division 2. East Grand Rapids was fifth in D2. Jenison was 11th at the DI state meet, and Forest Hills Central placed 23rd in DI. The Scots are working to stay competitive in the league, and to get their own chance to see where they stand at the state finals. Caledonia opened the year at the annual Pioneer Classic, hosted by East Grand Rapids, Thursday. The Scots were the runners-up, behind the East Grand Rapids girls.

A handful of returnees will lead the way. Senior setter Holly Dahlke and senior middle Jenna Shoobridge take over as team captains this fall. The Trojan team also has juniors Amy Ziccarello and Kelsey Buller returning along the front line. Pohl said Dahlke and Ziccarello have kxiked strong all the way around the court. Hitter Izzy Rapson is the fifth returnee, The varsity is adding set­ ter Haley Alverson, libero Lindsay Thomas, hitters Kayla Westcott and Kelsey LeMay, defensive specialists Holly Hall and Makayla King, and sophomore hitter Emery Shepherd to the rotation. “I have a lot of confidence in this group,” said coach Pohl. “I feel like I can put any! ly on the court and we’re going to do well. That's really nice as a coach. I feel like I have a lot of depth this year. Once the girls get over the newness of playing together and playing at the varsity level, once they gain some confidence I think they're going to be tough, It’s going to be a lot of fun." The Trojans have had some fun already. They were second at the NorthPointe Christian Invitational Tuesday, falling to the host Mustangs in the championship. Pohl said everyone looked better than they did at the team's first tournament of the year. Dahlke had 71 assist, to go with 24 kills and 44 digs. Ziccarello had 49 kills and 46 digs. In the middle, Buller had 23 kills and seven blocks. She also added six aces, Shoobridge had 12 kills. Coach Pohl was pleased with the passing of Thomas, King and Hall who had 48, 13 and 14 digs respectively, Rapson and Westcott con­ tributed some tough serves in the semifinals and finals. The Trojans opened the year at the WMVOA Tournament Friday, Aug. 22, at the MVP Sportspiex in Grand Rapids, The Trojans reached the gold bracket, but fell in the quarterfinals. “Nerves definitely were a factor that day, as the team struggled to play consistent ly,” said coach Pohl. She was pleased with the strong back row play from Thomas and Hall. Thomas * 'y. had 33 digs and Hall 18. Dahlke finished the day with 48 assists, 17 kills and 39 digs. Ziccarello had 28 kills and 35 digs. TK also got 18 kills from LeMay and 15 assists from Alverson.

Thomapple Kellogg varsi­ ty girls* golf coach Bob Kaminski said a lot will depend on how his girls have progressed from last year. The Trojans were fifth in the conference a year ago, but now have another summer of experience under the belts. Leading the group of returnees are seniors Amber VanMeter and Bryce Hayward who will fill the top two spots in the line-up for the Trojans. Senior Brook Winger and sophomore Carleight Lenard return to the varsity line-up as well. Kaminski hopes his girls have progressed since last season some, and knows they will improve as this season goes on. “We are a hard working team, so we should progress quite well throughout the year,” he said. The hard working group also includes the junior trio of Kayla Sattler, Isabella Balsitis and Sara Sabri who could all contribute to the varsity scores this season. Even with some good progress it won’t be easy moving up in the conference, South Christian is very good Amber VanMeter again. Hastings and Wayland are solid.

M tnab IOO8 niib jjtei izsiq .sn VOfk jsmt msfl The village received a violation notification from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality Aug. 28. The state mandates that in areas where less than 40 water samples are collected per month, no more than one sample can test positive for coliform bacteria. Department of Public Works Director Duane Weeks said it was not an emergency situation and no boil water plan had to be implemented. Weeks explained that having coliform bacteria in the water by itself is not necessarily harmful, but can be an indicator of the possibility of more potentially harmful ~ WATER naaa R rr/4f tfi| Pa§C O by Fran Faverman Staff Writer A millage proposal for Veteran services in Kent County is on the Nov. 4 gen­ eral election ballot in Caledonia. Caledonia Township Board of Trustees heard a presentation Wednesday on the millage from Dan Ophoff, a member of Citizens Supporting Kent County Veterans.

The loss comes after dis­ trict administrators revealed a player on the team was aca­ demically ineligible to play, The ineligibility stems from the final semester grades in the 2013-14 school year. But the football team isn't the only team that has to for­ feit games. The boys varsity soccer team also must forfeit two tied games after academic ineligibility of a varsity soc- cer player was discovered as well. “It’s not good news for our student athletes. It's no fault of theirs this hap­ pened,” said Superintendent Tom Enslen when he noti­ fied the Sun and News of the issue Wednesday afternoon. Enslen said the district will self-report the incidents to the Michigan High School Athletic Association and will forfeit all games in which the were ineligible players allowed to play. For the football team, it's only the one game against Hamilton, which the Trojans won by a score of 38-7. The soccer team has played five games with two ending in ties, and the rest were losses. The team will have to forfeit the ties, Enslen said. It’s the right thing to do,” he said. “We want .to be up front about it and admit there was a mistake made administratively.” Enslen and athletic direc­ tor Dave Chrisinske quickly pointed out that neither head coaches for the football or soccer teams were involved in determining eligibility and knew nothing of the oversight, “We all feel terrible for our student athletes involved who worked so hard for that victory,” football victor/. said Even though the Enslen. ll Il “We all 1eel terrible for our student athletes involved who worked so hard for that football victory. Even though the ineligible player didn’t factor into the win, we have to self-report the incident.” Superintendent Tom Enslen — ineligible player didn't factor into the win, we have to self­ report the incident." Enslen said the situations came to light when adminis­ trators were reviewing eligi­ bility lists for the upcoming weeks’ contests. That's when the mistake was dis- covered and staff learned the students should not have been allowed to play. Chrisinske said the ath­ letes came to the sports pro­ grams late, and Enslen said their review obviously “fell through the cracks some­ how.” Chrisinske said all athletes have been thoroughly reviewed now and he's 100 percent confident all ineligi­ ble athletes have been identi­ fied and team coaches noti­ fied. Both administrators said they are reviewingo the processes involved in stu­ dent eligibility, and changes will be made to make sure the error doesn't happen again. Chrisinske said this is the first time he's heard of such incidents happening at TK. “The kids have nothing to hang their heads about. This was an administrative prob­ lem, not a problem with the kids or the coaches. They've done a fantastic job," said Enslen. The varsity football team returns to action Sept. 5 at Olivet. The first home foot­ ball game is Sept. 19 against Grand Rapids Northview. The soccer team returned to the field Sept. 4 at home against Holland Christian. The team's next match is home Tuesday, Sept. 9, against Hastings. - Middleville Tool and Die welcomes expansion again .by Julie Makarewicz vd Staff Writer What brothers Forest and Kenneth Middleton started in a two-stall garage in 1966 has grown to a company with 150 employees and world­ wide sales of $31 million. And today Middleville Tool and Die Company Inc. is poised to go even farther under the leadership of another pair of brothers. Bob Middleton Sr., and Gary Middleton are owners of the company their father 4 ♦ and uncle started. Just as their dad. Forest, saw expan­ sion over the years, they too are witnessing growth and innovation in the company. A $6.3 million expansion project is underway to more than double the size of the current plant at 1900 Patterson Avenue, Middleville. Completion of the 54,000-square-foot addi­ tion is expected by March 2015, and after that the com­ pany expects to hire at least another 35 workers. Gary Middleton said sales reached $31 million this year and could hit $50 million within two years. Seeing the $100-million sales mark is a real possibility for the future, he said. The company hosted a groundbreaking ceremony for the project Wednesday morning with -state, county and Yankee Springs Township leaders attending, He thanked many people for their support and assistance in getting the project started, especially the employees.

Their children worked weekends, Five of the company's first six jobs came from Lescoa. In 1966, sales for the compa­ ny were $20,000. The company was incor­ porated in June 1966, and the » original building in •owcns Mills was built. The site at Bowens Mills was expanded several times before the company moved to the cur­ rent location at the southeast comer of Patterson Avenue and Bass Road in 1999. Gary Middleton told the employees who joined the celebration it was a proud day for the Middleton families and for the company families. “We moved here 16 years ago. It was just a cornfield then,” he said, “and I never imagined we would be build­ ing again.” Terry Vandercook with the Michigan Economic Development Corporation presented a plaque honoring the company for its expan­ sion and growth. “We're very excited to see this underway and to see your commitment to growth,” said Vandercook.” AUCTION SATURDAY, SEPT 13, 2014 @ 10: 10:00 AM l A. j LOCATION: 7489 Whitneyville SE, Alto, Ml 49302 North of Caledonia, Ml on m37 1 _ miles to R4th St, East 2 _ miles to Whitneyville Ave. OR South of Lowell, Ml 3 miles on Alden Nash to Cascade Rd.

The company produces metal stampings, assemblies and prototypes, and also designs, builds and main­ tains dies and a variety of manufacturing fixtures. “Dad would be amazed. He wouldn't have any words for all this,” said iob Middleton Sr. “He would be proud. His dream was just to start a business to give his kids something to do.

Department of Public Works Director Duane Weeks told council members the price has jumped from an average of $46 per ton last year to an average of $74 per ton for the upcoming season. That’s going to mean an estimated $27,000 increase in road salt costs for the 2015 budget. Weeks said the village has about 250 ton of salt in the shed unused from last year. But he said it’s not nearly enough and told council members the village has an early fill order for 300 tons and a late winter fill for an additional 300 tons. “We hope we don’t need it all. We hope we don’t have another winter like last win­ ter," said Weeks. “But we don’t know.” He explained the reason for the salt price hike is because of the basics of sup­ ply and demand. He said a lot of salt was used through­ out the country during the harsh 2013-14 winter leav­ ing stockpiles lower than normal. “They just haven’t had time to build back up — winter season. it’s simple supply and Council member Joyce demand,” said Weeks. “Our Lutz reminded the council hope is we have a soft win­ the village strives to be a ter, they produce a lot of salt walkable community. “We and prices come down in are supposed to be walkable. another year.” If we’re not going to do it Weeks said there are funds “iet'al"a"blLkeep available to make the salt purchase as needed, but cauCouncil has not made a tioned it will come at the final decision on the side­ expense of some other winter walk snowplowing issue, but is something they will have projects, Council members have to consider as they begin the discussed the idea of provid­ budget process for 2015. ing sidewalk snowplowing The road salt price throughout the village.

Village President Glenn Gilbert called the special workshop. The meeting included consultant Richard Pierson, senior staff of Infrastructure Alternatives; council members; village manager Sandy Ayers; vil­ lage treasurer Julie Wangerin; and village engi­ neer Paul Galdes. A quorum of the village council was present with Trustees Dan Erskine, Danise Regan, Elizabeth Fanco, and Gary Scholls present in addition to Gilbert. The village- is in the process of seeking a renewal of a permit to continue oper­ ating the plant, which serves the village and a portion of the township of Caledonia. Two persistent problems have drawn the concentrated attention of the Michigan Department of Quality Environmental (DEQ) Water Resources Division. Both problems concern a consistent pattern of violations of the amount of inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus in wastewater that has been treated and released to a finishing pond before being discharged to rapid infiltration beds. Following an inspection conducted by DEQ engineer Leslie Sorensen with Infrastructure Alternatives, a letter to the village noted two areas for which the DEQ wanted a remediation plan by Sept. 30. "There have been a total of 73 effluent or groundwater permit limit violations reported during the past year (May 2013 through June 2014,)" wrote Sorensen. What is unusual about the situation is that the treated wastewater emerging from the plant to the finishing pond does meet standards but the same water emerging from the finishing pond does not. The conclusion is that there is something wrong in the finishing pond. The purpose of the finish­ ing pond is to allow the stor­ age of treated water so that it may be released at a con­ trolled rate to the rapid infil­ tration beds where it will become groundwater eventually. The problem in the vil\lage system is the finishing accumulated pond has sludge, There is also an issue with . the rapid infiltration beds. Vegetation has been allowed to grow and water has started ponding on the surface of the beds. The solution is relatively simple; remove the vegetation growing up to the edge of the beds and plow the beds again. Two concerns were discussed at length by Ken Trierweiler of Infrastructure Alternatives. The first is the finishing pond. He said the pond could be cleaned in much the same fashion that the sequential batch reactor tanks were cleaned this sum­ mer. The second is to bypass the finishing pond and discharge directly to the rapid infiltration infiltration beds. beds. Both Both solusolu­ tions have approximately the same cost of $300,000. His recommendation is to buy the pump and infrastructure needed to discharge directly to the beds. Choosing to clean the finishing pond in his view opens the Pandora's box of what one will find such as the need for repairs to the pond. The members of the council present accepted the bypass solution. The next concerns explored were financing the estimated $300,000 cost and getting an extension of the Sept. 30 deadline communi­ cated by Sorensen in her let­ ter for having a correction plan in place. Jim White, attorney, said he thought formal action by the council at its regularly scheduled meet­ ing on Monday, Sept. 8 would signal a commitment by the village to correct the problems identified by the DEQ. A current agreement made in 2000 between the village and the township splits the costs of maintaining the systern between the two communities. The township pays approximately 52 percent of the cost of repairs and main­ tenance, leaving the village with a cost of about Park, Maryland, claims meteorologists are not seeing the conditions that will indi­ cate a harsher winter than normal. MILLAGE, continued from page 1 could not formally endorse the millage proposal because of a state law prohibiting the expenditure of public tax dollars to support or oppose millage campaigns. He did indicate that board members as private citizens were not restrained by the law. The major item of busi­ ness before the board was the presentation by Lt. Kyle Fennell and Capt. Scott Siler of the Caledonia Fire Department of the Kent County Plan for Emergency. Fennell explained the 2010 census showed Caledonia has a population of 12,282 residents and is now required to join the county emergency plan. The plan outlines the process for dealing with emergencies cooperatively and collaboratively with other communities within the county. It also specifies the lines of authority, namely which elected and appointed officials are responsible for different elements in the Caledonia village workshop explores decisions on wastewater treatment plant by Fran Faverman based on scientific data.

It also is a requirement for becoming eligible for federal disaster aid in the event of a manmade or natu­ ral disaster or catastrophe. “It has been reviewed by the PSAC and is a good plan,” said Trustee Don Koopmans, who is also the chair of the public safety advisory committee, The board voted unanimously to adopt the plan, In other business: • Harrison moved to fill an open seat on the Zoning Board of Appeals by nominating Tim Bradshaw. A vacancy occurred due to a resignation. Because there are three public hearings on requests for variances before the ZBA Sept. 18, he said he felt it important to fill the seat. “Tim [Bradshaw] has a background in planning and zoning and works for the city of Kentwood as a planner," said Harrison. Trustee Dale Hermenet moved to appoint Bradshaw to the ZBA; Trustee Kelly Cavanaugh supported the motion and it was approved unanimously. • The annual renewal of health insurance for township officials and employees was introduced by Clerk Jennifer Venema, who disclosed that she uses the plan to cover her family. She explained an extension allowing the township to keep its current plan with Priority Health resulted in a modest premium increase of slightly over 7 percent. The plan requires all its users to pay 20 percent of its cost. The plan combines a medical savings account and a high deductible. The board approved the renewal unanimously. The next regularly sched­ uled meeting of the board will be Wednesday, Sept. 17, in the township offices at 8196 Broadmoor Ave. �Page 4/The Sun and News, Saturday, September 6, 2014 J' 6^ (Dutton tlnitecC (Keforme cC Cfcurcft 6950 Hanna Lake Ave. SE • Caledonia, Ml 49316 Applying All of the Bible to All of Life Middleville Wesleyan Church 1664 N.

You may never become become incapacitated, incapacitated, of of course, course,but butthe thefuture futureisisnot not ours to see. In addition to starting early with, your estate plan, you'll need to team assemble the right team, including your financial advisor, legal professional and tax expert. You might enjoy receiving attention on attention on National Grandparents Day. But you'll get even greater pleasure out of knowing that you’re maximizing your efforts to leave the type of legacy you want for your grandchildren — while still enjoying the retirement lifestyle you desire.

If you have grandchildren, they will hopefully mark this occasion by sending a card, making a call or, best of all, paying a visit. But however your grandchildren express their feelings for you, you undoubtedly have a very big place in your heart for them, In fact, you may well be planning on including your grandchildren in your estate t plan. If that’s the case, you’ll want to do the best you can to preserve the size of your estate — without sacrificing the ability to enjoy life during your retirement years. Here are a few suggestions to help you achieve this “bal­ ancing act”: • Expect market volatility — and don’t overreact. If you’ve been investing for a while, you know that volatil­ ity in the financial markets is normal. In fact, it’s not unusual for the market to drop 10%, or even more, in a year. Try not to overreact to this type of volatility. For example, don’t immediately sell investments just because they’ve had a down year — they may well bounce back the next year, especially if their fundamentals are still strong. • Diversify.

'♦ Unfortunately, there are some who try to circumvent the system, operating in ille­ gal locations with little or no training. The Kent County Health Department urges everyone to think about potential consequences, and get the work done in a legal, licensed location. The Kent County Health Department works to educate the public about body art regulations, and ensure the public is safe when receiving body art, through licensing and regular inspections. Before December 2010, body art facilities could operate with minimal over­ sight in Michigan. Public Act 375 changed that. Tattoos, branding, and body piercings performed on an individual must be done at a body art facility licensed by the State of Michigan.

M-43 Highway, Hastings, Ml 49058 Caledonia village council faces financial issues by Fran Faverman Staff Writer Financial issues topped a lengthy agenda at the monthly meeting of the Village of Caledonia Council this past Monday evening. Major financial issues face us, just be ready," warned village president Glenn Gilbert as the meeting adjoumed. The most pressing finan­ cial problem is the remedia­ tion of the permit violations for levels of inorganic nitro­ gen and phosphorus at the 44 wastewater treatment plant. The council at its Sept. 4, workshop accepted a recom­ mendation to bypass the finishing pond and discharge treated wastewater directly to the rapid infiltration beds, beds. The estimated cost is $300,000 split between the township and the village according to the 2000 agreement. The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, in a letter from engineer Leslie Sorensen, has required a remediation plan by Sept.30. Although a letter being drafted by attorney Jim White was not available for council action at the meeting, the council went on record as being committed to correcting the violations at the plant. The second issue was introduced when village e> engineer Paul Galdes, during his report, responded to a query about the flooding experienced by two residences on Emmons Street. "You won’t like it,” pre­ dicted Galdes, “the pipe is too small. Replacing the pipe with a larger pipe and securing a discharge point on M-37 is the best solution, but also the most expensive. Galdes added that it could be done when Emmons Street is torn up and completely rebuilt in 10 to 15 years. “The new owners are not as sociable," dryly commented Trustee Dan Erskine, noting that both the affected properties had recently See ISSUES, page 6 Drain engineer asks for patience on Town Centre drain appearance by Julie Makarewicz Middle vine celebrates Heritage Day Ml Myah Rosales squeezes out of the tunnel in one of the inflatables set 'up for children after the Middleville Heritage Day parade Saturday.

Brian Cince, with Eng. Inc., the firm that designed the reconstructed drain, told the council members Tuesday night at their regular meeting, it takes time for the natural plantings to flower and flourish. “With the native plantings it takes about three years to really get it to look nice. It is on the right track," said Cince. “We are just asking for a little patience and a little time." He showed the council other detention ponds he's engineered and how they change over a period of two to three years. Council member Sue Reyff said she had many concerns with the drain. “I’m disappointed in the looks of it," conceded Reyff. “It looked better before you started, I'm sorry to say. It's just been a real disappointment." She also questioned why the water was now allowed to run off on private property, flooding areas that she said haven’t had water before, Cince said a berm has been installed on some property near the river and he admitted some “tweaking” may need to be done to contain the water a bit more. But he said the drain is acting like it's supposed to now and that the pond on the west side of M-37 is diy. “There is no water stand­ ing at the bottom of that pond and that’s what we wanted." he said, When asked why an outlet pipe wasn't placed closer to hl See DRAIN, page 9 Staffing changes proposed for 2015 Middleville budget by Julie Makarewicz Staff Writer . > loriT vodnifit >B1U£J Staffing changes are proposed for the Middleville village 2015 budget, but some council members say they want more discussion before agreeing to those changes. Council members reviewed the early budget proposals at their September committee of the whole meeting realizing they still have several opportunities to discuss in-depth the budget proposals before approving the budget by the end of the year. ' Village manager Rebecca Fleury said the budget pro­ posal comes after meeting with staff and the depart­ ments. “It take a lot of work and this is just the start of the proposal," she said. “It is a balanced budget and that's good news." • Fleury said the budget is the staff recommendations to Thornapple Kellogg High School appears to be the pot of gold at the end of the the council, but that it is up rainbow.

"I think it will be the biggest breakfast crowd we have ever had," said a beam­ ing Gary Marzean, post com­ mander, as he wiped his hands on his green apron before picking up another tub of dishes to convey to the dishwashing station staffed by Tom Basarabski and Gary Zuverink. Fortunately, the crowded parking lot had an overflow escape valve avail­ able through the generosity of its neighboring business, U.S. Golf Carts. New lighting, improved ventilation, and new floor coverings make the large room more inviting. All that remains to be done is install new television sets and shelving. Theexpanded stage is expected to see more activity. According to Marzean the room will be available on a limited basis for rental to persons needing a larger place for a function.

National September isis National Month. Preparedness Month, Sponsored by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), National Preparedness Month seeks to educate Americans on preparing for natural disas­ ters and other types of emer­ gencies. But you'll also need to prepare for unexpected events in many other areas of your life particularly those events related to the financial security of you and your family. Here are some of the most important of these events, along with possible preparations for them: • Unanticipated early retirement - If you encounter a “downsizing” or other occurrence that results in the loss of a job, or even the end of a career, before you expected it, would you be able to avoid major disrup­ tions to your lifestyle? To help prepare for such a loss of income, make sure to fully fund your IRA each year. The maximum contribution is $5,500 per year plus an additional $1,000 for those age 50 and older. • Disability - Even a short-term disability can seriously harm your finances — and a long-term disability could prove devastating, Your employer might offer some form of disability insurance, but it may not be sufficient. So you may need to explore private coverage. • Personal liability - If someone were ever injured on your property or due to i 4 V I M - I w \\ mH * I * *R •• t r •• ’S' * 4 r sura I • 4. 11 I 1 ’ML? 1 IA 11/ V «h» A I some action of yours, you could face legal actions demanding hundreds of thousands of dollars. To help protect yourself, consider adding umbrella liability insurance, • Changing family situa­ tion - Changes in your life — marriage, divorce, remar­ riage, children, stepchildren — can drastically affect your estate plans and the type of legacy you want to leave. To prevent unpleasant surprises for your family, make sure you periodically review beneficiary designations on your investment accounts, such as your IRA and 401 (k), and work with your tax and legal advisors to update your estate-planning documents documents estate-planning — — will, will, living living trust trust and and so so on on — — as as needed. needed. • Outliving your money Once you reach retirement, your greatest concern may be that you'll outlive your money. To help prevent this from happening, create a sustainable withdrawal strategy — that is, determine how much you can take out each year from your investment and retirement accounts, and stick to this amount. • Need for long-term care -You can't predict whether you will ever need to enter a nursing home or require the assistance of a home health care worker, but one thing is for sure — these services are extremely expensive. Consider this: The national average for a private room in a nursing home is nearly $84,000 per year, according to a recent survey by ^1* •T” A j / f z RIB Genworth, a financial securi7z is ty company.

Saturday, September 13. 2014 Preliminary tests suspect West Nile virus in Kent County man Timothy E. Dougherty MI CALEDONIA, Timothy E. Dougherty, age 42, of Caledonia passed away unexpectedly and was wel­ comed into the arms of his Heavenly Father on Monday, September 8, 2014. Tim was bom on February 2, 1972 in Edinburg, Texas. Tim s family and his faith were always his first priori­ ties. He was a loving husband and father, a devoted son, a beloved brother, a fun-loving uncle and a special friend. He was a very active member of the Faith Bible Church of Alto, serving as the chair of the church board for many years. Tim was a valued employee of the Kent County Road Commission for nineteen years, most recently working as a foreman alongside his crew. He loved his work and those that he worked with. Tim enjoyed hunting, trap­ ping, golfing and scrapping. He loved a good auction and loved a good find along the side of the road even better. Tim regularly returned home with "treasures" of all kinds. Tim was a true family man, never passing up an opportu­ nity to spend time with his wife Marcia and his daughters Ashley and Sara - his girls, The highlight of his week was movie night or game night with his girls at home. His booming voice and contagious enthusiasm were a fix­ ture at his daughters', nieces' and nephews’ sporting events. He was the guy you called when you needed help or when you needed to get a job done. Tim used his boundless energy and natural leadership skills to help others whenever he saw an opportunity. Tim is survived by his wife and best friend, Marcia and the loves of his life, his daughters Ashley and Sara. He is also survived by his par­ ents,Reverend Gary and Dolores Dougherty, his father and mother- in-law, Gary and Pam Colbom; his sister. Beth (Mike) Nanzer;his brothers.

(Better- Qores Juntral 9~(ome flomfiining new traditions wit/i The Kent County Health Department said preliminary testing determined a man in his 60s suffered from West Nile Virus in August. It is the first case of illness this summer. The man was released from the hospital and continues to recover at home. KCHD is waiting for state results to confirm the diagnosis. KCHD received a grant the from Michigan Department of Community Health to increase mosquito surveillance in 2014. This year, health department staff have been capturing mosquitoes to test for those carrying West Nile virus. Positive results from this testing serve as an early warning system for the presence of West Nile in Kent County. Two tests in one city came back with West Nile virus present; the city treated those areas with larvicide. “The good news is that weather conditions here this summer have not been ideal for the culex mosquito, which carries West Nile virus," said Adam London, administrativehealth healthofficer. officer. administrative "Kent County typically sees cases of West Nile virus starting in July, peaking in August/September, but we should be aware of the risk and how to prevent getting infected as long as mosqui­ toes are present." KCHD passes on these suggestions for staying pro­ tected: • Make sure to eliminate any standing water at home since this is where mosquitoes breed. Empty water from birdbaths, flower pots, swimming pool pool covers, swimming buckets, barrels, and cans twice a week. Clear rain gut­ ters of debris. Throw out tarps, old tires and other items that could collect water. • Use insect repellent when outdoors. Apply repellent to clothing and exposed skin, and always follow directions on the product label. • Don't apply repellent on cuts, wounds or irritated skin. Do not apply repellent around the eyes or mouth and, if using spray, apply to hands first and then to the face. • Products containing oil of lemon eucalyptus should not to be used on children under three years of age. • When using repellent on children, apply it to adult hands first, then on the child, Children tend to put their hands in or near their mouths, so don't apply repel­ lent to a child's hands. • After children get back indoors, wash off the repel­ lent with soap and w ater, and wash treated clothing before wearing again. • Avoid areas where mos quitoes are likely to be. such as wooded areas or swampy land. According to the CDC. most people infected with West Nile virus will have no symptoms, though up to 20 percent may develop mild illness with symptoms such as fever, headache, body aches, rash, and swollen lymph glands. Some people will develop severe illness, with severe headaches, high fever, stiff neck, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions. muscle weakness, sions, paralysis, and rarely, death. People 55 and older have the highest risk of severe dis­ ease. * r <•’] ■ 1* J/’ I• ‘ 4 I' I 1 L || $$ $ - ■ d jt ISSUES, continued from page 1 changed hands. Trustee Todd Grinage advocated regrading the area and raising the level of the sidewalks and driveway approaches; he estimat­ ed the cost at $15,000. Galdes responded, pointing out that one needed to avoid pushing the problem up to residents currently not affected and the resulting lia­ bility. No action was taken. While no financial issues were presented by the pro­ posed fireworks ordinance, the discussion was extensive and resulted in passage of the ordinance on a split vote, 43, with Trustees Todd Grinage, Karen Hahn and Elizabeth Fanco voting no. The affirmative votes were cast by Gilbert and Trustees Danise Regan, Dan Erskine and Gary Scholl. Prior to the final vote, the ordinance did receive some modification. The proposed permit fee was reduced from $250 to $50. The date of the Caledonia Independence Day Celebration was added to the list of days when fire­ works are permitted. Now fireworks will be permitted on the day before, the day of and the day after; the date of the Caledonia Caledonia Independence Independence the Day Day celebration celebration and and will will conform to the days allowed inin the the state state law. law. All All village village permits for fireworks will require approval by the council. Violators would face the $500 fine specified in the state law. An earlier discussion of the ordinance had also included a proposal by Gilbert Gilbert to to hire hire additional additional police protection to deal with violators. violators. There There was was no no disdis­ cussion cussion of of additional additional police police protection protection atat the the Monday Monday evening meeting. Erskine introduced discus­ sion of property owned by Bill Hitchcock in the Village of Caledonia Centre. Three lots facing Dobber-Wenger and the field in front of the Caledonia Public Library are the subject of negotiations among the township, the Kent County Parks and Recreation Department, and Hitchcock. According to Erskine Hitchcock is claim­ ing the value placed on the property by Assessor Laura Stob is too low while other property he owns is assessed at too high a value. Purchase of the property by the town­ ship or the Kent County Parks and Recreation Parks Department would remove the property from the village tax base. Gary Marzean, command­ er or Caledonia Post 305, American Legion, read the proclamation establishing Friday, Sept. 19, as Prisoners of War/Missing in Action Recognition Day. The council unanimously adopted the event. A celebratory occasion will begin at 2 p.m. Sept. 19, at the Grand Rapids Veterans Home. Two other formal actions taken by the council were the adoption of a resolution outlining a linguistic nondis­ criminatory policy required by the Michigan Department of Transportation and the adoption of the village mas­ ter plan for land use.

FREE Foreclosure Counseling Services �Page 8/The Sun and News, Saturday, September 13, 2014 * Schipper’s sobriety court celebrates first three graduates by Julie Makarewicz Staff Writer Barry County District Court Judge Mike Schipper didn't try to hide his enthusiasm as three participants in the sobriety court program graduated Tuesday afternoon. <41 “I’m proud of you. I really am. This is not an easy thing to do. and you’ve accom­ plished something here," said Schipper offering words of encouragement, praise and respect to the three. Each also received a certificate of completion from the sobriety 9 court program. The program started in March 2013 with help from a $60,000 grant from the state, About 18 participants are currently in the program, working toward their own graduation, which normally takes between 12 and 18 months, “For me, it's so nice to have positives in the court­ room," Schipper told the jraduates and other participants. “1 truly believe this is something that should be celebrated. We celebrate high school graduations, and real- ly this is a lot tougher than that. This is a huge accomplishmenL" The court staff celebrated the graduation with cake and punch, joined by other pro­ gram members still working their way through the phases, Schipper started the pro­ Agram in 2013 after realizing that too many of the men and women who enter his court­ room are in trouble because of issues with alcohol. He estimated that at least 70 per­ cent of all domestic violence cases that reach district court are related to alcohol, and 50 “I truly believe this is something that should be celebrated. We cele­ brate high school grad­ uations, and really this is a lot tougher than that. This is a huge accomplishment." District Court Judge Mike Schipper percent of assault and disor­ derly conduct cases involve alcohol. Alcohol also is a major contributing factor in many crimes, he said, including the obvious drunk driving and minors in possession of alco­ hol, but is also one of the major factors in many cases of sex offenses, domestic violence, assault crimes, home invasions, theft and disorderly conduct. Sobriety court is a threephase program that can take 12 to 18 months to complete. From the beginning, Schipper said the program was designed to be tough, and definitely was not meant for everyone. He called it “probation on steroids." Participants meet regularly with court advisors and with Schipper. They admit when they are struggling and when they've made mis­ takes. Schipper said he expects them to make mis­ takes along the way. Sanctions are handed out — anything from writing essays to spending a few' days in jail. And there are no excep­ tions and no excuses. Schipper admits it's tough, but so far. only one person has been terminated from the program. Participants are required during the first phase of the program to call in to the court every morning. They must meet with their case managers twice weekly and in group sessions once a week. They must attend AA meetings as ordered — sometimes as often as five times per week. They complete communi­ ty service hours and search for full-time employment. They must submit to regular Bluegrass music entertains all weekend at WMBMA Fallfest 06850580 YANKEE SPRINGS TOWNSHIP BARRY COUNTY, MICHIGAN 284 N. BRIGGS ROAD - MIDDLEVILLE.

He said one berm has been added on one property to prevent flooding and that they are still working with land owners as needed. Village council members have expressed concern about the looks of the pond and some residents have raised concerns about how the water is draining now. Barry County Drain Commission Russ Yarger said they county is workin with the contractor to keep the area at the detention pond mowed and as attractive as possible while the native plants continue to grow. He admitted plantings last fall were done late and that it takes a least a year for any­ thing to start growing. In another ongoing issue, council members discussed a contract possible with FreedomNet, a wireless Internet provide. FreedomNet wants to lease a portion of the village-owned » ^6 sfr? •l Wtt, for their equipment that they say will better serve underserviced areas in and around Middleville. Council first heard FreedomNet's request more than a year ago, but delayed action until Barry County 9ll installed an emergency communications tower on the same water tower. That antennae is now in place, and FreedomNet is still interest­ ed in their own spot on the tower. Attorney Mark Nettleton, representing the village, explained the village should be able to allow the private use even though the water tower was built with tax exempt bonds through the county. He said the village must be able to meet certain criteria and stay within a threshold for revenues received by the lease agree­ ment. If the village does not meet the state criteria, they could jeopardize losing the tax exempt status on the bonds. Nettleton said he believes the proposed agreement is well within the threshold and will not jeopardize the tax exempt status.

For example, people who want to keep chickens can be subject to different ordinances in similarly-zoned areas. “Our previous ordinance for Ag-Res did not allow for chickens on less than 1.5 acres, but a previous provi­ sion allowing smaller lots to have them was approved within the urban farming section of the ordinance gov­ erning residents in RuralRes. Zoned areas. These residents could have chickens on less than .5 acres, so this had to be reconciled to ensure that chickens can be raised in compliance with our ordinances and in com­ pliance with the Michigan Right to Farm Act,” explained Getty. According to Getty, the revisions to the ordinance have been reviewed by the township’s attorney on how they fit within the State’s Right to Farm Act within the township, and allows the zoning administration to determine any pre-emption in the law of the Right to Farm Act over the township’s ordinance, Getty continued, identifying the revisions to the section of the township’s zoning ordinance addressing the standards in place for identifying road parameters for private roads that serve four or fewer parcels. “Gearing the provisions for access to public/private road frontage and driven by the recommendations of our emergency services depart­ ment requires a minimum frontage that will allow houses that sit way back on the property a slip to avoid the building of a private road. The establishment of a 66 foot easement is now required off all private roads.” Getty also noted that over­ head trees on both public and private roads will be trimmed to a level 14 feet above the road, and that emergency lanes will be implemented every 400 feet to allow for a turnaround radius for emergency vehi­ cles. The revisions, accord­ ing to Getty, will facilitate an easier transition from public to private road zoning. “Gravel roads serving five or more parcels have to be 22 feet wide and roads serving parcels of four or fewer residences, 12 feet.” explained Getty. “With less traffic on the latter of the two classifications, this revision will better support the maintenance of the rural character of the smaller roads. Each classification is still centered on a 66-foot easement.” In other township business, the board: • Changed the date for Finance Committee approval of bill payments, allowing for review by the board prior to the regular board meeting each month. • Received a reminder from Bremer of the board's first Committee of the Whole meeting, scheduled to be held Sept. 23.

Thomapple Kellogg’s var­ sity football team fought through the adversity of having to forfeit its first game of the seasons due to ineligible players on the roster, the adversity of driving to Olivet twice after Friday night’s contest was postponed to Saturday, and the adversity of battling a perennial play­ off team in Olivet. Even after a week like that, the Trojans managed a 35-7 victory over the host Eagles Saturday afternoon (Sept. 6). • TK head coach Chad Ruger said he told his team losing the week one victory over Hamilton “doesn't change our goals at all. It doesn’t change our methods. It doesn’t change our attitudes at all. The Trojans went to Olivet and ran over the Eagles, with offensive linemen Cole “ cole Cronkright, Donald Lenard, Jacob Kidder, Jake Benjamin and Kyle Kraus leading the way. TK rushed the ball 36 • times for 206 yards. Connor Collier carried 136 of those yards on 12 rushes, scoring on runs of two and four yards. “It started with our line. Our line was blowing holes. They were moving people and gave our backs a place to go. I thought our backs ran hard hard and and found found the the openings, openings. They did a nice job,” Ruger said. said. The Trojans also got a 12yard touchdown run from Dan Yates, a five-yard touchdown run by Ethan DeVries, and a 57-yard fumble return for a touchdown from Jackson Bronkema. The scoop and score was just beautiful. That got everybody juiced up when the defense scores a touchdown,” Ruger said. Austin Beardslee also had an interception for the Trojans. Cronkright and Kraus tied for the team lead in tackles with six each. TK led 14-0 after one quarter, and all six of the game’s touchdowns were scored before the half. TK quarterback AJ Nye yards.

Voters approved a $6 mil­ lion bond this spring that will help the district improve security in the buildings, update and add technology, replace buses, improve ener­ gy savings and make other building and site improvements including a new press box m the stadium and replacing the turf and track in the stadium. Bond monies are planned to be spent throughout the district with every school receiving some benefits. Technology improvements take a big share of the funds at an estimated $1.7 million. Energy and infra­ structure improvements also get about $1.7 million to replace leaky windows, fix a leaking roof at the high school, and replace ineffi­ cient mechanical heating and cooling controls with computerized controls throughout the district for increased energy savings. Athletic improvements are also planned at an estimated cost of $1.15 million. The work will include replacing the high school track, syn­ thetic turf, and long jump pit and high jump areas. It also includes replacing the press box that also has a leaky roof and three scoreboards.

Caledonia Elevator was among those recognized for pursuing isustainability requirements across the scope of agricultural production — from energy efficiency and renewable energy to recycling and optimizing fertilizer use. “This program is more robust than ever before, w ith a record number of Michigan companies pursuing sustainability requirements and the inclusion of new standards for the program designed to protect our Great Lakes," said Jim Byrum, president of MABA. “Every day, con­ sumers are more connected to our food system and they want to know that Michigan agriculture is producing food in a sustainable way. In addi­ tion, our industry7 knows the value of protecting our air. water and Great Lakes for COming generations. By pursuing a wide range of sustainability criteria under the Green Agribusiness Designation Program, com- panies across the state are leading the way on this important issue.” . ' The application includes an evaluation of agronomic practices, water quality and conservation measures, ener­ gy facilities gy efficiency, improvement, transportation, recycling and the use of advanced site specific agriculture technology. Many of the criteria outlined under the program are specifically designed to help agriculture further protect water quality and our Great Lakes. In par­ ticular. by taking steps to optimize fertilizer use, farm­ ers and agribusinesses can achieve the greatest possible yields while protecting the environment. As part of the agriculture industry's ongoing water focus, quality Byrum announced that for the first time this year, all agronomic retailers were required to be partners of the 4R Nutrient Strategy, Management which provides guidance to optimize fertilizer use and protect water quality, lhe 4R Strategy encourages the use of fertilizer from the ‘Tight source at the right location at the right time and right place.” For more information, visit miagbiz.org.

That will pay for eight new buses for the fleet Security improvements will take about $857,000 includ­ ing more secure entries at the elementary and middle school where visitors will be forced to enter through the offices. Finance Director Robert Blilchok said most of the construction projects won't physically start until next summer. The stadium track and turf will be replaced in the summer and the press box will be built including more restrooms stalls for the women Design work is being done to create secured entrances at the middle school and three elementary schools requiring all visitors to enter through the offices. Some safety upgrades are already getting, started. A featured locking “bwt" on all classroom doors is being installed now in some areas of the district. The “boot" allows doors to be locked quickly and easily from the inside keeping any intruder out of the room. In another matter, the board approved contracts for administrators and non-represented employees as well as the superintendent. The administrators and non-represented employees will receive a .5 percent pay raise and some will receive equity adjustments to bring their salaries more in line with like positions in other districts within the Kent Intermediate School District. Enslen will receive an equity adjustment after taking a pay freeze last year, Superintendent * . Tom Enslen s base salary will now be $153,000. “Based on a highly effec­ tive overall rating for the superintendent we are rec­ ommending this contact,” said Smith. In other matters: • School officials remind­ ed the board of the walk-athon events scheduled Sept. 26 at McFall and Lee Elementary schools, • The board approved the annual tax rate request at 18 mills for non-homestead properties and 9.65 mills for the district debt service. Blilchok reminded the board of the upcomin; vote in November to renew the non­ homestead millage for anoth­ er 10 years. He said it’s extremely important the district voters approve that mill­ age that generates about $2.2 million. The non-homestead millage does not apply to a property owner's primary residence. • Enslen reported potentially good and bad news for the concerning district enrollment numbers.

Jefferson St., Hastings g mo undcrthesunhastings@gmail.com while the numbers continue to shift daily, it currently, appears the district may be down as man) as 50 stu­ dents. Enslen said the budget was based on a decline in enrollment of about 30 stu­ dents. The state provides funding at a per pupil level. While overall the numbers may be reduced, Enslen said there is good news at the kindergarten level where there are about 240 students enrolled this year. He said there were enough new stu­ dents that the district had to add another kindergarten classroom. An official statewide student count day will lake place Oct. I and a second count will be in early February. Blended numbers reported to the state from those counts are used to calculate total per pupil funding for districts. • Enslen told board mem­ bers he’s excited about the start of the school year and noted there was a phenome­ nal turnout for the elemenlary open houses, the middle school jitters day and the freshman orientation at the high school, M-37 lanes to be closed for work The Michigan Department of Transportation reports there will continue to be lane closures on M-37 both northbound and southbound lanes, The closures will take place between 44th and 60th streets.

"The good news is more bidders are likely, the bad news is bids are likely to be said Treasurer higher," Richard Robertson as he reported on a conversation with township engineer Todd Boerman. Boerman is overseeing the solicitation of bids for the connection of the Northwest Sewer Authority District to the City of Grand Rapids Public Sewer System. Now that the township has been relieved of a require­ ment imposed by the Michigan Department of Transportation either to use a connector under the M6 highway or to fill it in, the process is back on track. The second discussion focused on the relationship between the township and the Village of Caledonia, which owns the wastewater treatment plant that currently serves both communities and has filed for a renewal of its operating permit. In April, Infrastructure Alternatives became the operator of the village plant as well as con­ tinuing its operation of town­ ship utilities. A major assignment for Infrastructure Alternatives was an assessment of facility needs at the village plant. The assessment revealed a need for additional sludge capacity at a cost of $760,000 beyond the $300,000 needed to solve a persistent problem with vio­ lations in the permitted lev­ els of inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus in treated waste­ water. The system as current­ ly structured is looking at an expenditure of approximate- ly $1,050,000. Since the costs of operat­ ing and maintaining the village plant which serves most of Caledonia Township and all of the village are split variably between the two communities, the township pays, on average. 52 percent of the costs and supplies almost two-thirds of the users of the system. The vil­ lage supplies the remainder of the users and pays about 48 percent percent of 48 of costs. costs. Both Both have aa financial financial stake stake in in the the have coasts and the Joint Sewer Committee meets quarterly to allocate those costs and reconcile the accounts. Township officials feel it makes sense to consolidate the system into what has been dubbed "Sewerville.” The single largest obstacle to consolidating the systems is the difference in rates paid for sewer service by village and township customers. ” The system would be paid for by all its users,” explained SupervisorBryan Harrison. ““The township is Thetownship is more financially able to meet the costs than is the village. It is the ratepayers who will pay.” The single largest obstacle to consolidating the systerns is the difference in rates between village customers and township customers. Moving onto a system operated by the township was an extension of the Campau-Kettle sewer systern. Robertson explained there is a need to extend sewer service to some lot owners ownerson onCampau CampauLake Lakethat that want sewer sewer service. service. He He want added that some owners had paid significant contributions towards the service but had not received it.

Police said Fournier was the driver of a vehicle travel­ ing southeast on M-l 15 near S. 39 Road in Clam Lake Township. His passenger, Nicole Aryn Popa, 24, was reportedly asleep in the back seat of the car and was ejected during the crash. She was killed in the accident that occurred just before 5 a.m. Sept. 13. According to Michigan State Police, Fournier was speeding when he came upon another vehicle and attempt­ ed to pass the vehicle. Fournier reportedly lost con­ trol of his car and skidded across the road into the path of a semi-truck and trailer heading northwest on M­ 115.

Its nearest recog­ nizable downtown area is the City of Hastings. Another aspect of its diversity is the range of services received from surrounding communi­ ties in Barry and Allegan Counties. . . In his remarks, Englerth focused on volunteers and their activities reflecting the sense of community.

Weeks was appointed Tuesday night at the council meeting after a community outgoing reception for Village Manager Rebecca Fleury. She is leaving Middleville to take a job as city manager for Battle Creek. Weeks has filled in for Fleury when she’s been on vacation or out of the office at any time. Council President Charlie Pullen recommended Weeks for the interim position, but was met with opposition from some council members. “Duane has done a super good job as head of the DPW, however he doesn't have the municipal manage­ ment experience and educa­ tion to do this job," said council member Joyce Lutz. “1 feel we should hire a temp manager through MML (Michigan 'Municipal League) while we advertise for a permanent manager." Lutz said she fears being interim manager and DPW manager is going to be too much for Weeks to handle, even on a temporary basis. Pullen responded that he uG bbiM )2 .10 >W ilasni rM/vrt •slliV iiwIH bbiM d ylio ►w KJ 9 Fl mi )□ T lot r )OOg RG jved nsm noil nuo-j I I mfim □iM) igcoLl | 6 lOi luJ irtstai rioum > novo Published by J-Ad Graphics, Inc. • 1351 N.

There are three open seats on the village council as well as the president’s seat. All will be decided in the November election. Pullen is seeking re­ election as village president but* faces a challenge from Geoff Moffat, a former village employee. Incumbent council members Ed Schellinger and Sue Reyff are seeking re-election as well. Newcomers vying for council seats include Jean Lamoreaux, Lamoreaux, Mike Mike Cramer, Cramer, Sherry Ronning and Fran French. Lutz is not seeking re-election. Lutz continued to argue her case for an appointed interim manager from MML, despite Pullen's stated position. “There would also be a possibility we could get someone who might be interested in the job and then we get a chance to look at them before we have to hire someone,” she pointed out. Lutz also reminded coun­ cil members of a former village manager who didn't get something done in a timely manner, costing the village $100,000. “And he was educated, he had the training," counseled Lutz. “Now you’re puttin 8 all this on someone who has only a little time with the manager and no formal train­ ing. I have nothing against Duane, but I don’t want to see too much put on him.” Council member Shannon Haigh said Weeks deserves a chance at being the interim manager and, although he has not had the formal education, he has learned much by working with Fleury, Reyff said she wanted to put off making any announcement. • “It surprised me this came up since I haven't seen a for­ mal resignation letter from Rebecca," observed Reyff. “I don't know when she’s leaving. 1 think we re laying a lot on Duane and I think the council should discuss this more at the committee of the whole meeting." The next committee of the whole meeting is Oct. 7. Fleury's last day in the office was Sept. 19. Council member Ed Schellinger said he has faith and trust in Pullen as the vil­ lage council president to make the recommendation for Weeks. “Let’s put some faith and trust in our village president and in Duane," offered “If Charlie Schellinger. (Pullen) feels Duane can do the job and Duane feels he can do the job. that's good enough for me.

According to Denise Blunk, executive director of the foundation, KowalczykFulmer also enjoys the dis­ tinction of being the youngest honoree since the inception of the award in 1998. Kowalczyk-Fulmer’s career has been as distin­ guished in the classroom as it is on the basketball court. After graduating from Hope College, Kowalczyk-Fulmer accepted a teaching position in the Hastings School District where she coached the girls basketball program while teaching physical edu­ cation and American History. She married fellow teacher Paul Fulmer in 2001. sifT bnuoH nmuU otnlirl K .sn 4nul8 tot sd) onsnij ignuoY fcpon i .8991 199180 I IULbno > loftA gollbD tfqOOJE di ni oiiteiCI lig orij I olniw floiteo poteiH I 9 I A succeeding career step took her to Grand Haven where she ultimately estab­ lished a youth basketball program and became the director of the girls basket­ ball program for the district. The birth of a son in 2010 led her to step down from coaching for a few years. Kowalczyk-Fulmer's coaching career has extended over 23 years with 16 of them at Grand Haven. The program has enjoyed a streak of 13 winning seasons and consecutive state champi­ onships in 2012 and 2013. In June 2014, she was one of eight finalists for a national high school coach of the year award in girls basketball :from the National High _ School Athletic Association, While she has received many local and state awards, Kowalczyk-Fulmer has not lost sight of whom it is about. In an article in her hometown paper she said, " ...It's all about the players I've had the opportunity to coach. I've had great kids, great basketball players, and I have a great staff." Her final advice to athletes and to students is to dare to dream and to set high goals for oneself; to have a passion for what one does. Dennis Hormel, founda­ tion president, will introduce Kowalczyk-Fulmer at 6 p.m. and, following his remarks, will present the golden bell replica to her. According to the schedule released by the foundation, the tailgate party will begin at 4 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 3 in the parking lot of the football stadium off Johnson Street.

During your working years, you may feel that you have time to overcome this volatility. And you’d be bas­ ing these feelings on actual evidence: the longer the investment period, period. the greater the tendency of the markets to “smooth out” their performance. But what happens when you retire? Won't you be more susceptible to market movements? You may not be as vulner­ able as you might think. In the first place, given our growing awareness awareness or of healthier lifestyles, , . ,you could easily spend two, or even three, decades in retirement — so your investment time frame isn’t necessarily going to be that compressed. Nonetheless, it’s still true that time may well be a more important consideration to you during your retirement years, so you may want to be particularly vigilant about taking steps to help smooth out the effects of market volatility. Toward that end, here are a few suggestions: • Allocate your invest­ ments among a variety of asset classes. Of course, proper asset allocation is a good investment move at any age, but when you’re retired, you want to be especially f careful that you don’t “over­ concentrate” your invest­ ment dollars among just a few assets. Spreading your money among a range of vehicles — stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit, gov­ ernment securities and so on — can help you avoid taking the full brunt of a downturn that may primarily hit just one one type type of of investment, investment. (Keep (Keep in in mind, mind, though, though, that that while while diversification diversification can help reduce the effects of volatility, itit can't can’t assure assure aa volatility, profit or protect against loss.) • Choose investments that have, demonstrated solid performance across many mar­ ket ket cycles, cycles. as As you you’ve ve prooaprobably- heard, - “past performance * . is is no no guarantee guarantee of of future future results, results,” and this is true, Nonetheless, you can help improve your outlook by owning quality investments. So when investing n stocks, choose those that have actual earnings and a track record of earnings growth. If you invest in fixed-income vehicles, pick those that are considered “investment grade.” • Don't make emotional decisions. At various times during your retirement, you will, in all likelihood, witness some sharp drops in the market. Try to avoid overre­ acting to these downturns, which will probably just be normal market “corrections.” If you can keep your emo- tions out of investing, you will be less likely to make moves such as selling quality investments merely because their price is temporarily down. • Don't try to ‘Time" the market. You may be tempted to “take advantage” of volatility by looking for opportunities to “buy low and sell high.” In theory, this is a fine idea — but, unfortunately, no one can really pre­ diet market highs or lows. You’ll probably be better off by consistently investing the same amount of money into the same investments. Over time, this method of invest­ ing may result in lower per­ share costs.

By definition, superfoods are caloric sparse and packed with beneficial nutrients that add health and flavor to meals. Because the human body cannot create these nourishing elements alone, the addition of these foods is essential for regular function and to defend against certain diseases and conditions. The next time you visit the grocery store, stock up on some of these delicious foods. ■ 7& tell Super Nutrients Many of the foods labeled as superfoods contain one or more of the following nutrients, which can be beneficial when added to your family's diet: ■ Antioxidants: These compounds have been linked with helping memory function, reducing the signs of aging and battling diseases, such as cancer. ■ Calcium: This important mineral is necessary for muscle function and to keep bones and teeth healthy and strong. ■ Fiber: An essential part of a healthy diet, fiber aids the body with food digestion. It has also been linked to maintaining a healthy weight, as well as a lowered risk of diabetes and heart disease. ■ Protein: The human body requires pro­ tein to build and maintain skin, muscles and bones. •« «•»» ■ Potassium: A diet lacking this important mineral may increase the risk of high blood pressure, cancer, stroke and infertility. 111 911 £ I "S’ | [10 I SUN-MAiD MissioHFiM t , SUNMAID w\ • • - Omega-3s, Please The edible skin and soft bones give Alaska canned pink salmon four times the omega-3s EPA and DHA. twelve times the vitamin D as many popular canned meats and fish. 25 percent of adult RDA for calcium and nearly the daily reference amount for selenium.

It’s not the story that the Colorado mother likes to tell, but the death of her daughter, Rachel Scott, in the deadly 1999 school shooting at Columbine High School makes the rest of Nimmo's story even more inspiring and powerful — especially for young people. Nimmo told that gripping story to more than 3,000 high school students in Barry County during a visit last week visit that also included presentations at a youth rally at First Saturday Presbyterian Church in Hastings and at a community event that evening at Central Auditorium. “A life committed to kind­ ness can change the world/' Nimmo related at Saturday’s youth rally in describing her daughter’s life, which became even more revealing following the discovery of her journals after her death. “I am amazed as her mother, and I am humbled by her heart.” Nimmo used those jour­ nals and photos of Rachel’s artwork to reveal a life of faith and courage in standing for what she believed, espe­ cially in her life’s last moments when her beliefs were questioned by one of the two school gunmen. Scott had previously befriended that gunman, a classmate whose own art­ work Scott accepted but chal­ lenged for its violent content. CREMATION 00 STARTING AT...

She challenged all of us to make the right choices, choices that allow every kind of student to get the educa­ tion they seek without the foolishness of intolerance.” As a teenager, Rachel Scott did exhibit a remark­ able compassion for others. “She was a seer,” said her mother Saturday. “She could see hope, she could see pain, and she could see disappoint­ ment.” Nimmo said that perspec­ tive is exactly how she approaches presentations to teenagers today, so many of whom, she said, carry a hopelessness in their faces and a sadness in their eyes. Much of that, she main­ tained, comes from the pres­ sures of peer groups and impossibly high academic standards. “Students felt the message Continued next page lb S’to PAIN IN THE ARCHES M "We Can Help” ALONG WITH ALL YOUR OTHER FOOT CARE NEEDS INCLUDING DIABETIC FOOT CARE AND SURGERY.

Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency Director Jeff Barnes was joined by Gov. Rick Snyder Sept. 24-to formally launch the Michigan Veteran Resource Service Center, a partnership between the agency and the Michigan 21 1 system. The resource service cen­ ter provides Michigan veter­ ans and their families access to federal benefit programs, state services and local resources 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with MVAA staff available week­ days from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and MI-211 agents with training on veteran programs answering calls after hours and during the weekend. Services provided by MVRSC can be accessed by calling the toll free number, 800-MICH-VET or 800-642­ 4838. “Since its inception, MVAA has been working to provide veterans one-stop access to benefits and pro­ grams they’ve earned,” said Barnes. “The MVRSC is the realization of Gov. Snyder’s directive to our agency to . serve as the central coordi­ nating point for all veteran services and provide veterans no-wrong-door access to veteran resources.” He added that the veteran resource service center complements the agency's website, MichiganVeterans.com, which allows veterans, their families and interested stake­ holders a way to explore fed­ eral benefits and state pro­ grams. “Good government is all about using partnerships and innovation so that we can deliver real results for real people,” Snyder said. “It’s especially gratifying when we can find better ways to ensure that our veterans have the access to the services and benefits they have earned. The new Michigan Veteran Resource Service Center is a great example of collabora­ tion that provides a cutting­ edge way to way to serve Michigan’s veterans.” In addition to MVAA and Michigan 211, the MVRSC received grant funding from the Michigan Department of Human Services for start-up □ X costs. The launch of this pro­ gram marks the first time any state has fully integrated with the 211 system to deliv­ er information and referrals to veteran specific programs as well as connections to wraparound services avail­ able to all citizens. “The resource center uses the same phone and database technology as 211,” said Scott Dzurka, president and CEO of the Michigan Association of United Ways, which funds 211 programs across the state. "We handle calls to the center outside regular business hours, ensuring there is a live per­ son available to provide sup­ port to veteran callers every minute, every day.” MVAA serves as the cen­ tral coordinating point, connecting those who have served in the U.S. Armed Services and their families, to services and benefits throughout the state of Michigan.

The Saxons were ahead of South Christian, which fin­ ished fourth on the after­ noon. The Sailors won the first three league jamborees, but dropped to second in the league standings behind Grand Rapids Catholic Central heading into Thursday’s conference championship tournament at The Meadows on the campus of Grand Valley State University.

The route selected for the extension avoids the casings located under M-6. The recommendation was approved, 7-0. Treasurer Township Richard Robertson com­ mented the only problem was how to pay for it. In addition to funds available in the township revolving improvement fund, he said there is a significant amount available in a plant expan­ sion fund for the village wastewater treatment plant, Robertson feels that some of that fund will be available for the costs of the current project. Robertson also said attor­ ney Jim White was working on extensions of the contracts arranged with other adjoining customers of the Grand Rapids System. The contracts, originally set to expire on Dec. 31, need to be extended through 2015. Completion of the project during the the 2015 2015 construction construction during season season should should see see the the diverdiver­ sion of several thousand galions of sewage from the village wastewater treatment plant to the Grand Rapids system beginning in the fall of 2015. A second contract before the board was with consult- ant Keith Hopkins. The assignment is a study to determine the feasibility of private funding for a town­ ship trail system. “He has worked on proj­ ects and did the library project here,” said Supervisor' Bryan Harrison, adding that Hopkins had also helped identify people who wanted to work on the campaign to get a new library for Caledonia. The proposed contract is for $15,000. ’ “This will give us a good idea of the support in the community,” commented Trustee Dale Hermenet, chair of the Parks and Trails Committee. • During the discussion before a vote on the contract, Robertson expressed con­ cerns about possible resist­ ance, saying that many of the same community members who were identified as supporters of the library fundraising campaign would be approached as possible donors for the parks and trails feasibility study. He also added the cost of the contract could be met by using some money set aside for parks this year but not used. Hermenet’s motion to approve the contract was approved, 7-0. Clerk Jennifer Venema brought to the board for dis­ cussion an expression of interest she. had received informally from a represen­ tative of a monument compa­ ny. The company’s client is interested in possibly con­ structing a mausoleum in a Caledonia cemetery and the purchase of several plots at a nonresident rate, Most of the discussion ranged over the costs of carthe property. ing for Robertson said cemeteries are a community responsibility, not a revenue-producing facility. Harrison remarked care of plots was a family responsibility but the town­ ship did take care of plots where no family is available to care for them. No action was taken. The final formal action taken by the board was the appointment of the ad hoc . Road Committee. Reappointed to the commit­ tee were trustees Snoeyink and Hermenet and Supervisor Harrison. The committee meets periodically toreview data on town­ ship roadsand priorities with the Kent County Road Commission. The next regular meeting of the board will be Oct. 15 at 7 p.m. in the township offices, 8196 Broadmoor Ave. - A <6 CL'1* •a*'9* tal 15 If^1- & ■t * tatam Malto SiliilEt qtnotsl ft I’ tar, it ftate • w ttfegJtO Middle ville Fa II' Festival ill • .

The fellowship of the red ban­ dana was bom of the tragic events of Sept. 11. It’s an inspiring story that’s been told and re-told across the country about one of the many victims and the impact that victim left on the world, Welles Crowther died in the South Tower of the World Trade Center after terrorists flew a plane into the building. Crowther was working on the 104th floor of the South Tower that fateful morning. After the first plane hit the north tower, Crowther called his mother to tell her he was OK. Not long after, the second plane hit the second tower and Crowther and others found themselves trapped. But survivors told afterward the story of a young man wearing a red bandana who came and led them to safety, even carrying one woman on his back down 15 flights of stairs.

The kids are back at school and summer vacalions are now just fading memories, so it must be autumn. But the seasons don't just move on thecalendar — they also change in your life. And, speaking of changes, you II have to make many of them as you move through the years — and that includes changes to your investment portfolio. But how will you know when it’s time to take action? * Just as Mother Nature sends out “signals’’ to indi cate a change in seasons — bloomin & flowers, fallin leaves, warmer or colder temperatures, longer or shorter days, etc. — your portfolio will frequently “tell” you when you need to make adjustments. Here are a couple of indicators you may want to heed: • Out-of^balance portfolio — Even the best stocks can lose value when the overall market is down, but if you only own stocks, you could take a big hit during a down­ turn — and if it happens repeatedly, you may find it hard to even stay invested. After all, stocks will always fluctuate in value, and pro­ tection of your principal is not guaranteed. Yet you can at least help defend yourself against market volatility by balancing your portfolio with with aa mix mix of of stocks, stocks, bonds, bonds, government government securities, securities, cercertificates of deposit (CDs) and and other other investments, investments, with with the the percentage percentage of of each each type type of of asset asset based based on on your your indiindi­ vidual vidual goals, goals, time time horizon horizon and risk tolerance. and risk tolerance. •• "Overweighting "Overweighting"" of individual investn\ents investments — individual Related to to the the point point made made Related above, you can also have too much money kept in a single investment, such as an indi­ vidual stock or bond. Sometimes, this “over­ happen weighting” can almost on its own, as when a stock, or stock-based vehi­ cle, has increased so much in value that it now takes on a larger percentage of your portfolio portfolio than than you you had had intended — possibly bringing with it more risk than you had intended, too. As a general rule, no single investment should take up more than a small percent­ age of your entire portfolio. Your own life may also send you some messages regarding changes you may need to make to your invest­ ment and financial strate­ gies. Here are just a few of the milestones that may trig­ ger necessary moves: • New child — You'll need to review your life insurance to make sure it’s sufficient to help provide for a newborn or newly adopted child, should anything hap- pen to you. You may also want to begin investing in a college savings vehicle, such as a 529 plan. • New job — Assuming your new job offers you a retirement plan, such as a 401(k) or similar vehicle, you'll have some choices to make. How much can you afford to contribute? How should you allocate your dollars among the invest­ ment choices offered in the plan? How can you best inte­ grate your 401 (k) or other plan into your overall invest­ ment portfolio to avoid duplication? • Impending retirement — As you enter retirement, you may want to-adjust your portfolio to help reduce its short-term fluctuations and to provide more current income opportunities. At the same time, you may still need to invest for growth — you could be retired for two or three decades, and you'll need to stay ahead of infla­ tion. Pay close attention to the messages coming from your portfolio — and from your life. These “signals" will give you a good idea of when it’s time to make the investment-related right moves.

Fortunately, Weiss was able to be there and join in the festivities to honor out­ going president Sanely Ayers and outgoing treasurer Larry Phillips while welcoming new president Rachelle Lohrer and new treasurer Steve Ritsema. Continuin £ as secretary is Dee Hudson. Also welcomed were new board members Bryan Harrison (known as “Bryan with a Y”) and the Rev. Brian Harrison. Continuing on the board is Jane Heiss, who has been a board mem­ ber since the club was char­ tered in 2003. Ayers will be on the board for a year as the immediate past president. Ayers, in the tradition of outgoing presidents of serv­ ice clubs, presented gag gifts to her colleagues and a spe­ cial calculator to Phillips. She then relinquished the floor to club secretary Dee Hudson. The only person in the room who did not know Weiss would be honored was the honoree.

His additional efforts as lieu­ tenant-governor of the dis­ trict for Caledonia from 2011-13 led to a Legion of Honor pin for his service.

The award was established in 1983 to honor Hixson who was the first president of Kiwanis International. The award honors levels of giving to Kiwanis support the Foundation in its missions aimed at improving the lives of children and maternal health.

He closed his com­ ments saying that Caledonia was the greatest club and place. 269*205*4900 Downtown Hasting* on State St. GQTI.com and on Facebook BARGAIN TWILIGHT DAILY 4:00*6:00 PM * ncludK Oipbm 30 0 No passes fv Stadium Seating % MANUFACTUREDMOBILE HOME FOR SALE SHOWTIMES 10/4 -10/8 TITLES AND TIMES SUBJECT TO CHANGE Over 1200 sq. kitchen, all new 3 bedrooms, 2 parking.

That paper along with the Maple Valley News, the Sun and News, and Lakewood News and the Hastings Banner are my family. I care about their place ; in the community, about the role they play in promoting their communities and in holding their leaders accountable for responsible government, education, and law enforcement. I care enough that, as the newspaper business began I unraveling in the last decade, I asked you to help. These papers and this work are my family and I fight for my family. The 122 employees and nearly 200 carriers who help me to get these newspapers on your doorstop or in your box every week are also | a family to me. Many of them have been here for more than 25 years. Some of them have even come back to work for us after having left to pursue other ventures. I’m proud of this family, too, and, in the next couple of weeks in this space, I want you to meet them. You’ll see, as I do every day, how I their work is not a job, it’s a mission and the responsibilities they accept to be objective journalists will confirm for you why I believe newspapers to be so vital to a community’s life. Our reporters also have nurtured warm and caring hearts. When they get a chance to let that part of their life come into their work you, like me, are touched by the work they can do and the gifts they provide as a newspaper staff for the community. — My immediate and personal family is, naturally, a loving gift in my life. Because they’ve insisted on becoming a third generation in this business and because they bring a younger, vibrant spirit to this changing business, I want you to meet them, too. That I will also offer you in the coming weeks in this space. When I look at those many families in my life, I realize that they We continue to struggle on the business side in offering these gifts each week. During the last two years, your gifts of voluntary partnerships and heart-given financial donations, have helped to ease the struggle and to ensure continued delivery of valuable news content and reading entertainment. We believe your investment is a sound one. Our most recent audited figures show that 90.1 percent of households regularly read or look through The Reminder and 32% of readers keep their latest edition for more than one week. For seven consecutive years. The Reminder has been rated by the CDC auditing group as one of the top 2 percent newspapers in the nation for readership and receivership. Our advertising revenue, the financial foundation on which any newspaper stands, however, continues to erode. Just in the past year, we’ve lost two major advertisers, one to a fire and the other to purchase of the business by a nationwide chain of stores. It’s been through the financial help of our loyal readers and community residents who understand the value of a newspaper in their life that we’ve been able to withstand these challenges. My hope is that, as we approach you in the next three weeks with our report on the business and my introduction to you of my families, you will again be inspired to support qur voluntary membership program. Watch for the special giving envelope in the coming weeks or go online to www.hastingsreminder.com to our voluntary partnership site. Your partnership will make it possible for us to continue publishing the papers you’ve enjoyed for so many years. After all, it’s family.

Council members Tuesday afternoon debated whether to have the Michigan Municipal League assist with the process. A proposal from MML outlines services the professionals Published by J-Ad Graphics, Inc. • 1351 N. M-43 Highway, Hastings, Ml 49058 will provide for $10,000 for $ 15,000 for a basic search, or $15,000 a more extensive search, search. Village President Charlie Pullen said he didn’t realize the cost would be so high and wanted to get feedback from of the rest of the council. “We didn't use the MML to help us when we found Rebecca, said Pullen of Rebecca Fleury , w ho served as village manager and finance director since 2011. She was chosen as the new Battle Creek village city manager. “We did it on our own and got good results." He said the MML proposal will help the village by advertising the position; developing a community and candidate profile brochure; recruiting; marketing; analyzing applications; prescreening applicants; conducting reference checks, social media checks, and in­ depth background investiga­ tions; creating customized interview questions;, and developing the conditional offer of employment. Council members agreed f the service might be helpful. *1 but the cost was higher than they expected. “Can't we just put a classi­ fied ad in their MML publi­ cation?" asked council mem­ ber Joyce Lutz. Council members said before they advertise the position, they must review and redefine the duties, care­ fully* stating criteria of candi­ dates. One big question will be whether the council w ants to continue having the village manager also sene as a finance director, as Fleury did, or split the tw o responsibilities. Council members said they will set a special meeting for later this month to review the job description. No date for that meeting w as set. They said they will put an ad in the MML and see what kind of responses they get. They will likely form a subcommittee to review all of the applications and nar­ row the field to a final five or six for consideration. In other matters at the c o m m i nee- of-the-who I e meeting: • The council will recom­ mend the appointment of 139th year clerk Elaine Denton to serve as the Freedom of Information Act administrator and the Title VI non-dis­ crimination plan administra­ tor for the village. Those duties were formerly done by the village manager.

The two townships have been partners in the current EMS arrangement for which Harvey served as one of the original contract creators through the MTA On-Call program, Harvey has since been retained by Yankee Springs to review, the current EMS . . agreements relationship between the two townships and to address concerns voiced by select board mem­ bers. Yankee Springs Township Supervisor Mark Englerth voiced his feelings during Tuesday ’s meeting that Tuesday's inconsistencies inconsistenciesand and inconsidinconsid­ erations had developed with regard to Yankee Springs equipment and facilities uti­ lization. Englerth stated that these actions have now brought into question cost imbal­ allocation/sharing ances between the two town­ ships. Adding a twist to the 10­ year contract which is now expiring, both townships have recently constructed new facilities to better serve their respective residents. Harvey addressed the con­ cerns of fair representation by both townships as well as equitable burden of costs and recommended several steps be taken to address the issues.

Increased staffing proposals concern some council members • by Julie Makarewicz Staff Writer Middleville’s proposed 2015-16 budget includes additional hours for some staff members which is cre­ ating discussion among vil­ lage council members. The council discussed the budget at its Tuesday com­ mittee of the whole meeting, No decisions were made, but members were reminded they need to set a public hearing in November and approve a budget in December. Jf they have con­ cerns or want changes made, they need to convey their thoughtS soon so that possi­ ble adjustments can be made. The proposed budget includes increasing the plan­ ning and zoning administra­ tor from 20 to 40 hours per week, increasing the clerk from 20 to 30 hours per week, and the deputy clerk/finance director from 30 to 40 hours per week. Council members said they need to discuss whether to have one person serve as the village manager and finance director as Rebecca Fleury did for three years, or split the two responsibilities into two positions as she rec­ ommended before leaving the village for a job in Battle Creek. Council member Sue Reyff said she has concerns about a full-time planning and zoning administrator while the village still retains the Williams and Works engineering firm to assist with those duties. Council member Joyce Lutz agreed with Reyff. “Now we have a full-time planner and we have Williams and Works,” point­ ed out Lutz. “That’s outra­ geous. We’re paying for over 40 hours. I’m just saying, that’s a lot of hours for that position when we never had way. No viewing areas are planned on the north side, a full-time planner before.

John Jerkartis, treasurer for the township, clarified that, “this is an abatement for the taxes that would be imposed on the new addition for the next 12 years, real property.” Byrnes concurred and added, “it allows for ah abate on real and personal property tax, however, legislation is currently in the works to phase out the personal prop­ erty tax for Michigan. We are addressing that the personal property tax exists, until otherwise ended by the State.” Mark Englerth, township supervisor, read the Notice of Public Hearing details during the meeting, identify­ ing the location of the expan­ sion on 1900 Patterson Road. The notice described MTD’s facilities expansion as a means to “improve quality of production and improve financial viability of the company.” ’ The stated cost of the expansion, confirmed by MTD, is $3,845,754 in expansion materials includ­ ing the new addition and land purchase or real property and $2,500,000 in installations of furniture, fixtures and equipment or personal property, with not less than 24 new employee positions being created by the expansion within two years. The company confirmed that through assessments by Yankee Springs Township, Barry County, School debt operations and State Education rate funding millage, $35-40,000 will be paid by MTD in millage taxes annually. “We are putting an avenue in place to help MTD be competitive locally and internationally. This tool ensures MTD remains competitive,” said Byrnes. Jerkartis added that reduc­ ing taxes on local businesses through incentives such as the Industrial Facilities Exemption, “really reduces taxes on the local residents, overall.” MTD manufactures metal stampings, assemblies and designs dies and prototypes _ for manufacturing, including design and fabrication of fixfix­ tures. A significant portion of their new business is geared towards manufacturing products for clean air emissions equipment/vehicle exhaust systems. The new business allows MTD to move into the competitive position as a Tier 2 level supplier to the .Automotive Manufacturing Industry, “We are investing in the intricate mechanisms of air emissions equipment, mufflers. You’d be surprised how many pieces there are in a muffler, they include valves and much more intri­ cate mechanisms than muf­ flers of the past?’ explained Middleton. MTD is also investing in replacing hydroforming operations with tubular stampings, a move that involves utilizing tubular steel in their stamping processes. The board unanimously approved the request for the exemption and agreed that to keep the efforts Middleville Tool and Die, Inc. financially competitive helps keep the company located in the Yankee Springs area, providing employment and economic stability to the community and to Barry County. Additional business addressed by the board included: • The township approved a resolution, resolution, atat the the behest of Dr. Dr. Lyn Lyn Harvey, Harvey, to extend extend the time of renewal of the EMS contract between Yankee Springs and Thornapple Township (see story in this week's Sun&News). The extension continues the contract while, “the townships are in negoti­ ations. This extension extends through the current ongoing negotiations,” said Lippert, “We have received Dr. Harvey’s recommenda- A and, tions likewise Thornapple Township wish­ es to review them, as well. We are looking forward to the planned meeting date with Thornapple Township.” Mark Englerth and Roger Rottschaffer have attend Thornapple ’ s Emergency meetings Service and Englerth said, “We are feel­ ing confident and positive all the way around with working with Thomapple Township. I feel the results will produce a win-win for both townships.” “The meeting with Dr. Harvey went very well,” added Englerth, “and this board is ready to move for­ ward with the contract renewal.

Caledonia man injured Caraway Street Ministry to present ‘Over the Rainbow’ in one-vehicle accident ^^7 “”1^ The Caraway Street min­ istry of Peace Church in Middleville will present “Over the Rainbow,” a twist on the classic movie “The Wizard of Oz” in two performances the last weekend in October. The church is at 6950 Cherry Valley Road(M-37) north ofMiddleville. All ages are invited to the free showings. No tickets are necessary. Shows will open at 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 25. and 6 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 26. The worship center of the church will be transformed into the land of Munchkins, Emerald City, and in this Dorothy's presentation, heavenly home. Many familiar characters are part of this presentation, but there are twists to the story. The music will be familiar to those who love the movie, but the words !b 'k & VJ. I r. 5 ill I have been altered. Darlene DeGroote of Middleville wrote this retelling and directs the play. In it, she uses Dorothy, the Tin Tin Man, Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion, the Great and Powerful Oz, Munchkins, Auntie Em and Uncle Henry to tell the story of Dorothy’s quest to reach her heavenly home, Demonne, the witch, has been sent by Satan to keep Dorothy from following the narrow path that will lead to Heaven. Dorothy is helped in travels by Glinda, her guardian angel. “The message of our pres­ entation is that Satan only has as much power in our lives as we allow him to have,” said DeGroote, who also is the show’s director.

Many more behind-thescenes lighting and sound technicians and stage man­ agers enhance the production with special effects, and the set includes an 11-foot bam with a real com field. Many hours were devoted to the set anj props to make it exciting for children and adults, said DeGroote. The Caraway Street min- Dr. Dumlar. and Maxine the Taxi Driver live on the “street.” The ministry' uses skits and puppets to teach Biblical and moral values in a fun, entertaining and unique way, said Lynnette Wingeier. The teaching con­ cepts were patterned after the familiar Sesame Street show.

A 27-year-old Caledonia man was seriously injured in a one-vehicle crash at about 6:30 p.m. Sunday Oct. 5 in the 9400 block of 92nd St. SE. According to Kent County Sheriff’s deputies, Andrew Hammock was reportedly traveling at a high rate of speed and attempted to pass a slower vehicle in a no pass­ ing zone. Hammock report­ edly lost control of his vehi­ cle during that pass and went ott the r°a<i’ J,tr^.ing; a cement culvert. The impact caused the car to roll over and the driver was ejected from the vehicle. Aeromed transported Hammock to a Grand Rapids hospital.

Caledonia HS joins safe driving campaign Caledonia High School will participate in the “Celebrate My Drive” safe driving campaign. Through this program, teens who commit to safe driving have the chance to bring award winning super­ star sibling sensation The Band Perry to their home­ town for a private concert this coming school year. As part of the State Farm Celebrate My Drive pro­ gram, the company is team­ ing up with The Band Perry to encourage safe driving in high schools across the U.S. and Canada. Last year more than 6.3 million safe driving commitments were made through this program, Celebrate My Drive pro­ motes responsible driving practices like 2N2®: 2 eyes on the road and 2 hands on the wheel. “We have such great memories of when we first got our driver’s licenses and we love that Celebrate My Drive is such a positive pro­ gram that supports new teen drivers,” said members of The Band Perry. “Teen driv­ er safety continues to be a major issue, and this pro­ gram gives us a platform to spread the word and encour­ age safe driving in teens’ first years behind the wheel. It’s a privilege to partner with State Farm to shed light on this important issue and hopefully help save lives.” Teens and community members can commit to safe driving once a day, every day from October 15-24 in sup­ port of their favorite high school at www.celebratemydrive.com. Two grand prize winning schools will receive a private concert from The Band Perry. The 100 high schools with the most online safe driving commitments will win a grant award of $25,000 or $100,000. “Getting a driver’s license is a major milestone in a young adult’s life, and The Band Perry is the perfect partner to help celebrate it,” said Leif Roll, marketing vice president for State Farm. “Teens, in particular, connect with music in a major way, so it only makes sense to partner with one of the biggest acts in music to celebrate this new generation of teen drivers.As a leader in auto feel auto safety, safety, we Celebrate My Drive has proved to be a positive way to help educate teens and their parents about teen driv­ er safety.” The Celebrate My Drive nor*\e 111 Church St., Middleville - in the Fellowship Hall FRESH MADE DONUTS JOIN US FOR A TASTY LUNCHEON from 11:30am to 1:00pm 9:30am til' gone Booths include: Vi J ’ Basket Spot, American Girl Doll Clothes, Handmade Cards, White Elephant Treasures, Nature's Gifts, Baked Goods, Handmade Donuts 06852531 Call any lime for Sun & News classified ads 269-945-9554 or 1-800-870-7085 program engages teens and the adults who influence them to have supportive and positive conversations about safe driving.

As an investor, you may find that the elements of your portfolio that seem to draw most of your attention are stocks and bonds. After all, these investment vehicles, and others derived from them, provide you with potential growth and income opportunities — which is why you invest in the first place. Yet, you also may find significant value in a more humble financial asset: cash. In fact, you might be sur­ prised at the various ways in which the cash, and cash equivalents, in your portfolio can help you complete your financial picture. One way to understand the uses of cash is to look at the “USES" of cash. In other words, consider the acronym USES: e ill v- > W I I­ * % * * X ■ • ■>. s V * b *, L % 'Wi| I *K ■ • • Unexpected expenses and emergencies — You'll need sufficient cash for situations such as a job loss, a home repair or an unplanned medical expense. During your working years, you should keep three to six months' worth of living expenses in a cash account specifically designed to meet unexpected expenses. Once you're retired, you may be able to get by on a smaller emergency fund — up to three months’ worth of liv­ ing expenses, although you will need more for everyday spending. • Specific short-term savings goal — Are you antici­ paring a big expense —a wedding, a big vacation, a down payment on a new home, etc. — sometime within the next few years? If so, you'll want to set aside sufficient cash, with the exact amount depending on your specific short-term goal, • Everyday spending — It goes without saying that you'll need adequate cash for your everyday spending needs — groceries, utilities, entertain­ ment, mortgage/debt pay­ ments, and so on. Of course, while you're working, you will probably handle most of these costs with your pay­ checks, but you may still need to set aside one or two months' worth of living expenses. Once you're retired, though, it's a somewhat different story. While your expenses may go down in some areas (such as costs associated with employment), they are likely to go up in others (such as health care). So your overall Loan Huynh cost of living may not drop The much, if at all.

Children from Caledonia are driven to school by very carefully vetted volunteers who drive them to school and return them to the shelter. A followup question on how the shelter location manages to remain secret with children, elicited a rue­ ful comment. "Sadly the kids don't talk about it,” said Bergeron, “because they are embar­ rassed." Bergeron received a stand­ ing ovation from the mem­ bers. Moving into its regular business, members were ftft ft reminded of the Caledonia Arts and Craft show being held at Duncan Lake Middle School on Saturday, Nov.

Lowe, the father of Trojan senior >- Andrew Guriel, passed away in January from pancreatic cancer. Lowe was a regular at the TK soccer contests, volunteering for the program and cheering on his son even after his diagnosis. The Trojans planned to wear T-shirts with the words TK SOCCER Remembering Fritz in the middle of a pur pur-­ ple soccer ball with a purple ribbon, and to wear purple arm bands throughout I the contest. Alec Winden had three goals for the Cougars in their win, while Blare'Gooch and Fernando Garcia also scored. Kyle Clark scored the lone goal for the Trojans. . Thornapple Kellogg scored its second win over Wayland in a week Saturday, topping the Wildcats 3-2 in Wayland. Clark had two goals and an assist to lead the Trojans. Andrew Brown scored the first goal for TK. Matt Luce and Tristen Ortiz scored for the Wildcats. Trojan goalkeeper Jacob Westlake made six saves on eight Wildcat shots, TK fired 11 shots, at the Wayland net on the other end of the field. • TK is hosting its Division 2 District Tournament this week.

W/ 3 P^NTY PLANNING COMMISSIONERS NEEDED Trojans honor Lowe during match with OK Gold champs With the OK Gold Conference championship decided, already Wednesday’s contest in Middleville was about much more than soccer. The Thomapple Kellogg varsity ^boys’ • soccer; team honored the memory of Fredrick “Fritz” Lowe dur­ ing their Senior/Parents Night contest against visiting Grand Rapids Catholic Central Wednesday. The Cougars finished off their first conference championship season in 29 years with a 5-1 victory inside Bob White Stadium, on an emotiona| njght for the Trojans, " Both schools teamed up to raise money for pancreatic cancer research, with the help of the TK cheerleaders Faro’s Pizza in and ‘ ‘ Middleville. A month ago, TK chal­ lenged Catholic Central to raise money for the cause as well.

The fact is that one woman in seven is a victim of domestic violence." What it is like to live in Green Gables? "Residents do their own cooking and take care of their laundry,” described Bergeron. “We do not allow any alcohol or drugs. If someone is caught using alcohol or drugs, they are required to leave. They also take care of their children. We do not have volunteers dropping by to read to the kids for an hour or two a week." Questions veered into the practical: what do you need and how are you funded? The shelter posts a list of needs on its website and Bergeron said that there are so many generous people and businesses. Addressing the funding issue, she said that about $70,000 a year comes from the United Way, $40,000 comes from its annual dinner and auction,scheduled for Feb. 14, and the Power of One luncheon usually held in August. The shelter is also one of the four charities which receives funds from the Bill Porter Memorial Golf Tournament. Bergeron charged that there is very little state fund­ ing because the representa­ tive on the board that allo­ cates state funding for shel­ ters does not believe there is a problem in Barry County. The intervention of Lt. Gov. Brian Calley when he was a state representative for the area led to the provision of some funds. Other questions concerned children at the shelter. Bergeron said they are enrolled in Hastings schools if they from very distant T—1 <T. 11 by Fran Faverman Staff Writer Members of the Caledonia Women's Club listened attentively this past Monday morning to Janie Bergeron, executive director, Green Gables Haven, as she provid­ ed an update on the activities at the shelter for abused women and their children in Hastings. Despite its location in Barry County, the shelter also serves women from Caledonia. "In the seven and a half years we have been open, we have served 1,424 women and children," Bergeron said, II adding, "The problem is pretty severe here." Domestic violence is not limited to women. Fifteen percent of men are abused by women according to Bergeron. While it is the inpatient residential services provided by the shelter that captures public attention, she said they provide a great amount of nonresidential services and have served men through that component. "How do people get referred to you?" asked Jane Heiss, club president. "Most Most of them come Monday through Friday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. because he’s gone to work,” replied Bergeron, “People have ft .T *■ to call and we do a phone assessment.

You cannot have ‘sometimes you do, and sometimes you don ’ t ’ proto * col. The fire board would set precedent prior to runs/calls.” Englerth commented that both townships are working towards a win-win regarding the concerns he voiced and that he and other members of the Yankee Springs town­ ship board had been attend­ ing the Thornapple Emergency Services Board meetings to work out details and concerns. . Contacted later in the week, Thornapple Township Supervisor Mike Bremer concurred with Englerth's report. » “Subsequent discussions between Yankee Springs and Thornapple Township has brought remedy to most of Englerth’s concerns,” said Bremer in a written state­ ment, “We are aware of some of Yankee Springs Township’s concerns and some have been addressed. Mr. Englerth has been attending our Emergency €4 Services meetings and sever­ al of the issues have been or are being remedied.” Harvey stated in his rec­ ommendations that he had met with Fire Chief Dave Middleton, Wayland Fire Chief Joe Miller. Bremer and Orangeville Township Fire Chief Danny Boulter and that he had reviewed data provided by the fire chiefs that was related to the fire departments’ operations/response procedures. Harvey utilized the data provided by Middleton in developing his recommen­ dations. According to the current agreement, the Thornapple Township Fire Chief manages the fire and emergency services for both townships. “You have to give the chief freedom to place emer­ gency services equipment where . it is most useful,” Harvey told the Yankee “Yankee Springs board, Springs lacks the personnel to respond from the Yankee Springs fire barn, therefore the Thornapple personnel need to have access to the equipment as quickly as possible, in times of emergency.” Harvey touched upon the number one issue on his list of recommendations and what he considered the root cause of many of Englerth's concerns, the lack of volun­ teers being recruited to serve in the Yankee Springs Fire department. According to Harvey, this single variable was imperative to maintain­ ing a viable response program, with adequate emergency personnel available in Yankee Springs, Harvey explained that if there there are are insufficient insufficient numnumbers bers of of emergency emergency volunvolunteers from Yankee Springs Township to respond to the Yankee Springs station, then the appropriate protocol would be to respond to an emergency with equipment and personnel from Middleville instead of dispatching personnel to the Yankee Springs Township fire station to roll the emer­ maintaining good relation­ gency vehicles stored there. ships between the contract­ “The core of the under-uti­ ing parties. lization issue is the lack of Harvey closed out the dis­ volunteer personnel,” said cussion with words of Harvey in his written review. advice. “That can only be remedied Recommendations genby adding to the number of erated by a Fire Authority volunteers.

Thomapple Kellogg defensive lineman Will Cridler stuffed an Ottawa Hills run in the end zone for a safety in the opening quarter and the Trojans never trailed. Senior Cole Cronkright was named the homecoming king at halftime and he led the offensive attack with eight receptions for 100 yards and a touchdown. When asked if there was a special plan to feed the homecoming king the football, TK head coach Chad Ruger chuckled. • ' “That’s right. He made homecoming king so we thought we’d better throw the ball up to him,” said Ruger. TK led 25-0 in the second quarter after a 25-yard touchdown pass from quarterback AJ Nye to Cronkright and one of kicker Nick Iveson’s three successful extra-point kicks. “We kind of created a new little formation that we thought we could use. We didn’t have to use it as much as we thought we might, but Cole is a talent and we knew we tould be using him a little bit more and we thought tonight would be a gcTod night to try it,” Ruger said. “He proved us right, and AJ did a nice job getting him the football in time and in the right spot and Cole made the plays.” The Bengals cut* into the Trojan lead with a 27-yard touchdown pass before the end of the half, but Ruger said his guys were not satisfied with the 25-6 lead they took into the locker room.’ Dan Yates broke free on a 54-yard run on the first offensive play of the second half for the Trojans, moving the football to the Bengal 11yard-line where Connor Collier finished off the twoplay drive with a touchdown run on the next play. That was the second of Collier’s touchdown runs on the night. He rushed 19 times for 110 yards. Yates was the Trojans' leading ground gainer, rushing 14 times for 133 yards. “Once we found the holes where we thought we could go the backs ran very hard and they were picking up yards and putting together nice drives,” Ruger said. I TK took an 11-0 lead in the opening quarter, adding a 30yard field goal by Iveson and a 1-yard touchdown"” run by Nye to the safety. Nye also had a 1-yard TD plunge in the fourth quarter, The Trojans led 31-14 after three quarters after a short TD run by the Bengals and a twopoint conversion in the peri­ od. Kyle Kraus led the TK defense on the night with 1 1 tackles and Aaron Moederzoon had ten. Nate Raymond, Austin Beardsley and Gabe Kruisenga each had an inter­ ception for the Trojans, “(Ottawa Hills has) some talented and some very fast kids and if you let them loose they're going to score on you. There were a few times where if it wasn't for a shoe-string they might have gotten in there or at least gained a few more yards,” Ruger said. “Our defense did a nice job of closing and did a nice job of being aggressive and stopping the offense before it got started.” The victory sets up a showdown for the OK Gold Conference lead at Middleville Friday as the Trojans host South Christian.

The good news is that the village had managed to improve its general fund position. The bad news is the sewer fund. While the sewer fund revenue was $570,000, expenses were $662,000, resulting in a loss of almost $93,000. “You voted to raise rates in the coming year [a refer­ ence to the rate increase effective July 1] but you have to keep looking at the rates,” said Hall. The age of the system is also a factor affecting possible rate increases. Village engineer Paul Galdes recommended the purchase of a specialized GPS unit at a cost of $7,300. The unit would locate sewer laterals from the as-built plans and provide data than can be downloaded to help map the system. The council approved the purchase of the unit. Galdes also told the coun­ cil the solution to a flooding problem affecting two hous­ es on Emmons Street would require a 15-inch storm sewer pipe at a cost of $250,000 if done now; the alternative is to wait and install the storm sewer pipe when Emmons Street is rebuilt sometime in the future. No action was taken. Josh Mannard, manager of the wastewater treatment plant, reported that difficulties with new equipment under warranty by the ven­ dor had been resolved. A mixer failed to aerate sludge when the new propeller broke. Replacing the broken part involved a crane to remove the part and then to replace it. Mannard said the vendor was paying those costs. In other reports, Village President Glenn Gilbert urged use of the recently established system for work orders.

The contract could mean high-speed serv­ ice to areas unable currently to get such service. FreedomNet will lease space on the village-owned water tower on Bender Road near Page Elementary School. Company officials say they believe the site will enable them to provide high­ speed Internet service to around areas in and Middleville. Officials said the service may reach out in about a five-mile radius. Several residents in the area have expressed interest in the service, saying they have no other options or lim­ ited options at this time. The village council ini­ tially held up the request until the county 911 service installed its communication system on the water tower. Council members said they wanted to make certain it was up and running well before adding more servers. They also wanted to be careful not to create any interfer­ ence with the 911 service. negotiations Contract with the company also took some time. The contract allows for FreedomNet to lease the space and pay a monthly fee of $200 as well as $3 per month per sub­ scriber. Originally the com­ pany proposed a monthly fee of only $ 100 and $2 per sub­ scriber. But it also didn’t want to have to pay the upfront costs for an engineer­ ing study, so they agreed to increase the monthly fees and allow the village engineers to conduct the study. The study will then be paid for over time through the increased monthly and service fees. The contract also states that it will be the responsicost and of bility FreedomNet to relocate the equipment on the tower if it interferes with the 911 serv­ ice. If the village requests it be relocated for any reason, the village will have to pay for the relocation. The contract is for three years initially, but can be renewed automatically for two additional five-year terms. by Julie Makarewicz Staff Writer Kellogg’s Thornapple fund balance is growing and reaching a much healthier level, according to a recent audit by Maner-Costerisan PC. Dave Raeck with ManerCosterisan told the board of education that the fund bal­ ance as of June 2013 was about $2.3 million. In 2014, the fund balance has grown to a little more than $2.7 mil­ lion. It means the district fund balance is back to near­ ly 10 percent of one year’s operating expenses — a level 41 an unexpired term. No candidate filed for that slot in April. “I thought I had one [can­ didate] identified, but he is moving from the village.” Gilbert said, responding to a question. Current law requires a per­ son who wishes to be a write-in candidate to file a declaration of intent with Caledonia Township Clerk Jennifer Venema by 4 p.m. Friday, Oct. 24. If there is no declaration of intent by that date, the unexpired term will be filled through appoint­ ment by the council after the election. In other official action, the council voted 7-0 to approve the master plan for land use as recommended by the plan­ ning commission. During the final council comment period, Trustee Danise Regan asked about break-ins that occurred in September and was told the village had not heard any­ thing further about them. A final comment by Ayers referred Make a to Difference Day, which in the village will be Saturday, Oct. 25. This is a day when stu­ dents and others rake leaves for seniors who need help and perform other chores.

It’s one of a long list of shots the Thornapple Kellogg High School senior will need to put together a public service video helping educate voters about an upcoming bond proposal to replace emergency service equipment and vehicles. “The hardest part is figur­ ing out what they want in the video and writing a script for it,” said Seeber as he looked over his notes for the evening shooting session with TTES Chief David Middleton. Seeber said he expects the video to be finished by early next week at the latest. He will post it on YouTube, and the township will put a link to it from the Thomapple Township website. “We’re working with such Seeber said he’s pleased here,” with the video so far and small margins Blitchok continued, This is thinks it’s even better than a good news for the district, similar public service but we have to be careful and announcement he made in continue to watch the budget the spijng for the Thornapple very carefully." ................................

He said the reason for the change is simply small variances in different areas of the budget. And he said as quickly as the budget can change to the positive, it can also very easily change for the negative. done should fill out a form or apprise village staff of the problem.

Brandon’s first Matson movie, “Mickey Matson and the Cooperhead Treasure,” debuted two years ago. Filming for the third movie, “The Helm of Darkness,” is slated to begin in 2015. The premier for “Pirate’s Code” was held at the Grand Rapids Public Museum as a fundraiser for the museum and a kickoff to the muse­ um’s opening weekend of the new exhibition “Real Pirates: The Untold Story of the Whydah from Slave Ship to Pirate Ship.” The Mickey Matson movie will continue to be shown at the museum for the next six months while the pirate exhibit is in place. The movie will be included in the price of museum admission to the special exhibit. The movie will open at Celebration Cinemas in Grand Rapids this weekend. For the first two weeks of the movie's release, proceeds from the Celebration Cinema showings will go to the Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital. Brandon said he loves the new movie. It features even more action, he said, and some super special effects. “It’s amazing. I just can’t believe all this,” he said while surrounded by fans waiting for autographs and photos. The film also features returning co-star Francesca DeRosa as Matson’s best friend.

It’s so great here and this is awesome,” Duty sa^ of the opening at the museum. “We’re already making plans to get Derek into more parts.” Jade said she liked the fact that Brandon is “a regular kid.

This is really what he wants. And we’ll just keep going and see what happens,” said his mom, Shannon. ' Brandon is already work­ ing on another film with Kevin Sorbo, called “Rodeo Girl,” being filmed partially at a ranch in Lowell, and he expects to work on the third Matson film next year. “We’re just so happy for him. He’s really doing what he wants to do,” said Shannon. She said she won’t let the fame and success go to his head, though, and wants to keep him rooted in Middleville with small-town values. His grandmother, Donna Scott, also lives in Middleville. She beamed as she watched her grandson walking the red carpet, “It’s all amazing. He’s been so fortunate,” she said; “and he’s met so many really nice people.

So, there was much debate about taking a $225,000 loan from the village sewer department and transferring it to the general fund. The money is needed to meet the 10 percent match required for the Main Street bridge proj­ ect. 1 Those questioning the issue said they didn’t have a problem with making the loan, but wanted to be cer­ tain it was repaid to the sewer fund in a timely man­ ner. Several years ago, the village made a similar loan from the sewer fund. However, the money was never repaid. “What happened previ­ ously that it never got repaid and how do we make sure that doesn’t happen again?” asked council member Joyce Lutz. Most of the current coun­ cil members were not on the village council when that happened. Mike Lytle was on the council at the time. He said the economy tanked after the loan and, while homeowners were losing feomfes and people losing jobs, the village didn't have the funds to repay the loan to tiftsewer fund. .. Lutz said the council Bdf to K ke certain the irttf unrtt the nil * nre rd iricil is confident about a rcpaymtmi schedule, she Suggested the matter be tabled. “I would like all the infor mation about what happened before so we make sure it doesn’t happen again,’’ she said. Council members suggest­ ed there could be an annual minimum payment made, or set monthly payments for the loan. At the Oct. 7 commit­ tee of the whole meeting, council recommended approval of the loan with a five-year repayment sched­ ule. Interest would be at the rate of interest bom at the _ ’s village account with Chemical Bank. The loan could be fully repaid at any -time if funds were available, Council members agreed to discuss the loan and repayment plan again at the November 5 committee of the whole meeting. In other matters at the Tuesday council meeting: • The council set a special meeting for 4:30 p.m. Oct. 27 to discuss the job descrip­ tion for the village manager and next steps toward advertisin *4 for the position. They’ll aLso be discussing whether to keep the village manager and finance director as one position or split them into two positions, • Council members authorized the sale of vil­ lage-owned property at 307 Arlington St. for $12,500 to Chemical Bank.

The ren _ ^hows the bridge with •S*llecoralive rail and two nump out viewing areas on the south side. Engineers said additional bump out eas on the north viewin side may aTso be added. • The council approved a contract with Buis!

The pavilion project will go back for bids in January with the project expected to start in early spring. The power lines need to be relocated prior to the project start, • The council approved a contract with Quantum Construction for storm sewer repairs on Railroad Street. The Department of Environmental Quality con­ tacted the village about a possible erosion issue on Railroad Street. Village staff determined a new storm sewer outfall needed to be constructed.

The township w ill ask vot­ ers Nov. 4 to approve two eight-}ear bonds for emer­ gency service equipment replacement needs. The two bonds will raise an estimated $1,675 million for ambu­ lance and fire equipment replacement costs over the next 10 years. The bonds will mean an increase in taxes for town­ ship residents of an estimat­ ed .66 mills the first year of the bonds. The millage rate will vary each year after, but is expected to decrease each year, according to Township Supervisor Mike Bremer. Middleton explained over the next 10 years, the depart­ ment will have need for a large amount of replacement vehicles and continued main tenance to keep older vehi­ cles reliable. He said some of the equip­ ment being used is already 17 to 20 years old and no longer as reliable as needed. Firefighter turnout gear is 10 to 15 years old and reaching the end of its usefulness; a pumper truck used by the department will be 24 years old in 2015; air packs w ill be 15 years old in 2015 and have reached their out-of­ service life; the basic life support ambulance will be 17 years old in 2017; and the advanced life support ambu­ lance will be 13 years old in ** TIES Chief Dave Middleton helps high school student Nate Seeber get a closer look at the aging air packs used by firefighters, 2019. Those are just some of the equipment concerns being addressed with the bond proposal. Middleton said one of the biggest concerns is the cur rent pumper truck on which the water tank is leaking and unable to be repaired. If the tank gels worse, the depart­ ment could be unable to pro­ vide enough waler in certain emergencies. Residents currently pay 1.5 mills for emergency services that goes toward operational costs as well as equipment needs. That mill­ age rale provides on average $361,000 per year and will continue even if the bond is approved. Of that amount. Middleton explained, about $220,001) goes to the fire fund opera­ tions and another $72,000 goes to the EMS.opera!ions. He explained the average appropriation for capital improvements is $25,000 per year while the EMS and fire average capital fund is about $10,000 per year. Tow nship Thomapple Emergency Services also Yankee Springs serves Fow nship and a portion of Irving Township. Those communities pay a contract­ ed rate to Thornapple Tow nship for the service. Township officials say taxpayers have seen a 1.5 mill reduction in recent bills when the emergency services building millage came off bills last year. They say they hope voters understand they will see a reduction even if the bonds are approved.

J i I <.382® *• I ■**** If you work for a mediumto-large company, you may now be entering the “open enrollment” period — that time of year when you get to make changes to your employee benefits, Your benefit package can be a big piece of your overall finan­ cial picture, so you'll want to make the right moves — especially in regard to your employer-sponsored retire­ ment plan. Take a close look at your 401 (k) or similar plan, such as a 403(b), if you work for a school or a nonprofit group, or a 457(b), if you work for a state or local government. And keep these possible moves in mind: • Boost your contributions. If your salary has gone up over the past year, or if you just think you have a reason­ able “cushion” in your dis­ posable income, boost your your contributions to employer-sponsored retire­ ment plan. Even if you can’t afford to contribute the max­ imum amount — which, in 2014, is $17,500, or $23,000 if you’re 50 or older — to your 401 (k) or similar plan, try to put in as much as you can afford. Remember the key benefits of these plans: Your money can grow tax deferred and your contribu- tions can lower your annual taxable income. (Keep in mind, though, that you will eventually be taxed on your withdrawals, and any with­ drawals you take before you reach 59_ may be subject to a 10% IRS penalty.) • Don't miss the match. Try to take full advantage of your employer’s matching contribution, if one is offered. Your employer may match 50% of employee con­ tributions, up to the first 6% of your salary. So if you’re only deferring 3% of your income, you are missing half the match — or leaving money “on the table,” so to speak, • Rebalance, if necessary. You may be able to change the investment mix of your employer-sponsored retirement plan throughout the year, but you might find that the best time to review your holdings and rebalance your portfolio is during open enrollment, when you’re reviewing all your benefit options. Try to determine if your investment allocation is still appropriate for your needs or if you own some investments that are chronically underperforming. And always keep in mind the need to diversify. Try to spread your money around a variety of investments within your plan, with the exact per­ centages of each investment depending on your goals, risk tolerance and time hori­ zon. As you near retirement, you may need to lower your overall risk level, but even at this stage of your career, you'll benefit from a diversified portfolio. While diversification can't guarantee a profit or protect against loss, it can help reduce the impact of volatility on your holdings. • Review your beneficiary designations. Your retirement plan's beneficiary des­ ignations are important and, in fact, can even supersede the wishes you express in your will. So if you experi­ ence changes in your life — marriage, remarriage, a birth or an adoption, etc. — you’ll need to update the benefici­ ary designations on your 40l(k) or similar plan. It won’t take much time today — and it can help prevent a lot of trouble tomorrow. You work hard for the money that goes into your retirement plan —so make sure your plan is working hard for you.

Main, Middleville z jfl t f* I“ I �Page 8/The Sun and News, Saturday, October 18, 2014 Reigler hopes to increase grain business at Lake Odessa elevator by Bonnie Mattson Staff Writer Construction on a new grain storage bin that began in June is almost complete. Once a connector is set, the operation will be good to go, said Nick Reigler, new grain manager/merchandiser for Caledonia Farmers Elevator in Lake Odessa. Growing up on a Freeport farm and active in 4-H, Reigler, 24, has always had an affinity for anything agri­ culture. After graduating from Thornapple Kellogg High School in 2009, he attended Michigan State University, where he received a bachelor's degree in science and agri-business management. He worked for Zeeland Farm Service for two years before coming to Lake Odessa. He recently purchased his farm grandfather’s in Freeport, where he expects to put his expertise to use on his own crops. “I plan to balance farming and work,” said Reigler. “I grew up on a farm, and I want to work with my neigh­ bors and be involved in the community. In his professional role, Reigler hopes to educate farmers on the types of con­ tracts available to them, such as basis control, which allows the farmer to secure the basis level and delivery period without specifying the futures level. Other types include hedge-to-arrive con­ tracts, where the futures price is determined when the contract is created, but the basis level is not determined until later, usually just before delivery; or a forward con con-­ tract, which is a cash market TU_ I He ■ il* £ & $ J L 4 11 ,<■ 0' _ 01 ? ‘ b#,k’ ■ The bin on the left is the newest addition to Caledonia Farmers Elevator’s Lake Odessa plant on Eaton Highway.

Four sea­ sons ago, they built the first storage bin out here, and now we’ve doubled that.” Reigler said his age may be his biggest challenge, trying to convince the older generation of farmers that his new ideas can work. “Right now the futures markets are on the lower side,” he said. “We’re seeing prices from 2006-07, and with the higher input costs, it makes it challenging for farmers.” With youth and enthusi­ asm in his corner, Reigler hopes to meet and exceed the needs of his customers — his brotherhood of farmers.

Our dedication to the members of our community is personal and one we take seriously. With the rapidly changing landscape of health care, smaller, indepen­ dent community hospitals are choosing to eliminate services or close altogether. Recruiting physicians, maintaining a broad range of clini­ cal services along with meeting today's technology and compliance standards are now more difficult to manage. While Pennock Health Services has also been tested, we have been fortunate to retain and recruit outstanding medical staff and remain financially viable. In preparation for the restructuring of health care, we began a strate­ gic planning process over two years ago, identifying the critical issues that were facing community hospitals such as ours. Over the last year, we embarked on a comprehensive educational process that allowed the Board and Medical Staff Leadership to consider multiple options ranging from affiliation to independence. A specialized consulting firm, Juniper Advisory, was hired to assist the Board in identifying health care systems that were interested in a part­ nership with Pennock. Juniper was asked to evaluate the prospective organizations by their ability to provide greater value, offer superior clinical expertise and had the capability to enhance delivery of care in Barry County. ours here at Pennock. Spectrum Health was re­ cently named one of the nation's 15 Top Health Systems® by Truven Health Analytics, the only Michigan health care system to receive this honor. Spectrum Health's Grand Rapids hospitals have also earned Magnet Recognition® for their excellence in nursing, a distinction that highlights their commitment to patient safety and quality care. With Spectrum Health’s history of providing specialized services here at Pennock, many in our community are already familiar with the stan­ dard of quality that they provide to their patients. I u I (J The Pennock Board of Trustees has signed a letter of intent with Spec­ trum Health to create a new, collaborative vision of health care for the community served by Pennock. We will keep you informed and updat ed on the next steps as we begin this exciting new journey. Please do not hesitate to contact us at www.mypennock.com, we welcome your feedback and ideas.

They cre­ ate space for their forwards and they've got some dan­ gerous guys up top. They're just a real good team all around.” While he'd like to see his guys finish better around the net than they did Thursday. Niles was proud of the way his guys finished out the win. Collin Schaafsma earned the shut out in goal making one save. Caledonia earned its spot in the district semifinals with a 4-0 win over Grand Ledge in the opening round of the state tournament Tuesday.

It’s something more to look forward to instead of just running,” Winchester said.\ The Trojans were ready for the soggy race. “I think all of our really hard workouts kind of let us run really hard today,” said Trojan senior Janie Noah. “We’ve been running in tough conditions too. Our last race at Allegan was pretty muddy and rough, so we were ready for the mud today. We were good.” TK's Olivia Lamberg was third across the finish line in 20:47.0.

That was the difference in a 33-0 OK White Conference victory by the Caledonia varsity football team over previ­ ously undefeated Lowell in Ralph E. Myers Stadium in Caledonia Friday. The win is the first victory for the Scots over the Red Arrows since 1990. Lowell had won seven in a row in the series. It also secures the Fighting Scots a spot in the state postseason, as they currently boast a 6-2 record. Caledonia scored touchdowns on three of its four first half possessions, while all four Lowell drives in the first half stalled out in Caledonia territory. The drives didn’t just stall, They were snuffed out by the Caledonia defense which limited Lowell to just 151 yards of total offense. Lowell hadn’t been shut out since 1998, and it took a couple hustle plays to give the defense the chance to earn the shut out. Caledonia took a 7-0 lead on a 1-yard touchdown dive by running back Logan Soule with 4:05 left in the opening quarter. Lowell's Gabe Steed returned then ensuing kickoff 70 yards, but was pulled down by Eddie Kelly at the Caledonia 25-yard-line to preserve the Caledonia lead for the moment. Caledonia’s defense allowed the Arrows just two yards on four plays and the Scots’ got the ball right back. With the Scot offense looking to add to a 7-0 there, Lowell’s Max Dean came out of the pile with the football Caledonia center Jon Velting (right) helps create a crease for quarterback Tanner Christian to sneak into the end zone late in the first half Friday against Lowell, (Photo by Brett Bremer) and started racing up the right side towards the end zone. Caledonia's Nick Adams chased Dean down from behind at the Scots’ 10-yardline and four plays later the Caledonia defense had turned the Arrows over on downs again. “I think if they score there it’s a completely different football game,” said Caledonia head coach Tom Burrill. “We talk to our kids, just one play. You never know when it’s going to happen. Sometimes that play is really unnoticed by a lot of people, but we made two huge tackles that (allowed) our defense to make really huge stops.” The Scot offense followed up that second defensive stand by going 98 yards in seven plays to up its lead to 14-0 with 9:05 to play in the second quarter, scoring on an 83-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Tanner Christian to Kelly. Jalen Burton rushed six yards on a fourth-and-1 from the Scots’ own 11-yard line early in the drive and Kelly ran over Lowell tacklers at his own 25-yard-line, the 50-yard-line and the Lowell 45-yard-line on his way to the end zone. Kelly was nearly unstoppable once again for the Scots, rushing 24 times for 170 yards and hauling in three passes for 143 yards and two touchdowns. He went 31 yards for a score after hauling in a pass from Christian early in the fourth quarter. “When Eddie decides to run the play hard, like he has. he’s as good a football player as there is in west Michigan. He just is," Burrill said. “He can catch the ball, he can run the ball, he’s physical, he’s fast and our offensive line played really well for most of the game.” Christian had a 1-yard touchdown run of his own with 16 seconds remaining in the first half. Burton scored the Scots' final TD, on a 5yard run in the fourth quarter, Burton had 11 rushes for 31 yards in jn the the game. eame Christian yards Christian carried it ten times for 55 IT V 41 / I •1 •• j Fighting Scot running back Jalen Burton lunges through a pile of Red Arrows that includes Zeth Dean (left), Logan Wilcox (76) and Gabe Steed (12) to get into the end zone in the fourth quarter Friday.

Grand Rapids Christian in faces Forest Hills Central, Lowell quarterback Trevor Shurlow completed just eight of his 29 pass attempts for 57 yards. The rainy conditions throughout the evening made throwing the ball tough, and the Arrows were having no luck running through the Scot defense. Shurlow didn’t get a lot of help from his receivers, as a number of passes slipped through their hands, The Caledonia defensive backfield, led by Soule and Drake Ellens, broke up a number of throws as well. Max Dean led the Red Arrow offense with 18 rushes for 61 yards. 1990, that’s a long time ago," Burrill said, referencing the last time the Scots topped the Red Arrows. “It feels good. Our kids expected it. Honestly, I think this is the first time we've gone into this game with as good of players as they've had. Our kids expected to win and they played like it. Both teams are now 3-1 in the OK White Conference Fighting Scot running back Eddie Kelly races around and will be playing for at least a share of the conference title the le^ side after taking a direct snap during the third in the final week of the regu- quarter Friday night against Lowell.

The Sailors topped the Thornapple Kellogg varsity football team 35-23 Friday night in a battle to two teams that were unbeaten in league play coming into the contest. South Christian upped its league record to 4-0 with the win. Connor Collier returned Bronkema and Gabe Kruisenga all intercepted Sailor passes. • Kyler Podbevsek scooped up a South Christian fumble. Even with all those things going right, the league champion Sailors still managed a two touchdown victory. Sailor quarterback 7Jon Wassink is talented enough to make up for a few mistakes, and the Sailor defense limited the Trojan rushing attack to 67 yards on 42 attempts. “They’ve got very talented athletes up front, big strong kids,” said TK head coach Chad Rueer of the Sailor that they played with their down linemen, loops and twists, that made our blocking compromised a bit. It took us a while to figure out what was going to work against them. “And further, they just have great athletes that run. They cover a lot of field and ‘ ‘ ‘’t consider “ when you don a back-side kid a play-maker when you’re running away from him, but they’re aggressive and fast and he’ll chase you down.” South Christian quarterback Jon Wassink tossed a 23-yard touchdown pass to Brandon VanSolkema to even 44 down run in the second quarter which put his team up 2114 at the time. The Sailors led 21-17 at the half,. Geff Plasman scored on a 59-yard run early in the second quarter to give the Sailors their first lead. TK answered with a 3-yard TD run by Collier and the second of Nick Iveson’s two extra-points. Iveson tacked on 'a 27-yard field - - goal in the final seconds of the first half. Plasman put the game away for the Sailors, scoring on runs of 15 and 42 yards in the fourth quarter. He had 17 rushes for 176 vards in the b 28-17. TK got back within a touchdown thanks to a 5-yard touchdown pass from AJ A J Nye to Cronkright with a little over three and a half minutes to play. Collier led TK on the ground, with 19 rushes for 56 yards. Nye was 13-of-29 passing for 129 yards. He was intercepted once. Cronkright had a team-high six recep■ tions for 59 yards and Nate Raymond added four catches for 35 yards for TK. ~Cronkright and Kyle Kraus had 11 tackles each to lead the TK defense.

[an, 4 ®moiiiif » <’ K.’S 4J Mr » ’•.IWIK ft 1| Dear Reminder Readers, One of the many joys in return­ ing to my hometown as the new superintendent of the Hastings Area School System this past spring, was knowing it is still the home of J-Ad Graphics, Inc. and its family of newspapers. I still have the scrapbook of my schooldays that my mother made from pictures, stories, and news­ paper clippings that appeared in the Banner and the Reminder as I was growing up. She made one for each of us and it’s a tradition that continued with my own children. That’s what I like about news­ papers, and the Reminder, in par­ ticular. Its publication each week becomes a history book of the community. Beyond just the pride that parents and grandparents and aunts and uncles get from following the athletic, academic, and citizenship accomplishments of their family’s children, the J-Ad newspapers become an historical record for our entire com­ munity. They do unite us as a family by reminding us of what we’ve accomplished, how we did it, and what we have still on the horizon as a dream to conquer. As a community family, the news­ paper is so important to our heart, to our values, and to the reasons why we are here. As a school superintendent and as a community leader, I especially value the Reminder and its sister papers because they honor the accomplishments of our students. Too often today media attention comes only when something sensational or twist­ ed occurs, when things go wrong. When we have reason to cele­ brate our successes, though — especially when it involves our young people as they explore the new world and their places in it — there is no recognition. Instead, we live in a world that defines us by our performance on the latest standardized test. We are so much more than a MEAP (Michigan Education Assessment Program) score and the Reminder helps us to tell those I | larger stories. As an educator. I'm well aware of the emergence of technology. In fact. I'm here to promote it with our students and in our community. I'm also aware of the changes that tech­ nology has brought about in our reading styles and in our reading habits. I believe, though, that there is a need for both. Print teaches reading principles, it is a primer for how to conduct research. With a newspaper, a reader can go back and refer to previous articles, a reader can clip and can save especially valued reading. And a reader can develop critical reading skills with print by highlighting, by drawing connections between thoughts, ideas, and perspectives. Many of our teachers have submitted local grants | for classroom or schoolwide newspapers. I'm very supportive of what we do as educators in integrating those reading skills we learn from print and from newspaper into the technology that continues to emerge around us. I will always support our community newspapers. I hope that others who see their value will participate in the Reminder’s volunteer partnership program. The Reminder has been a part of my heritage, it’s been a part of my children’s history. Make sure it’s part of yours, too. 5 Sincerely Carrie P.

This is not a new tax millage, but a continuing one. The millage is not assessed on primary residences. The tax applies to industrial, commercial, business, rental and second homes. School districts must levy a non-homestead tax in order to receive full per-pupil funding from the state. District officials say the millage is critical to the continuation of operational costs of the district including materials. instructional staffing and maintenance. Without the non-homestead renewal, the district will lose more than $2.2 million. The non-homestead mill­ age was last renewed in 2005 for 10 years. fj I I I Thornapple Township residents to vote on emergency service millage Thornapple Township voters will decide Nov. 4 on two eight-year bond proposals for emergency service equipment replacement needs. The two bonds will raise an estimated $1,675 million for ambulance and fire equipment replacement costs over the next 10 years. The bonds will mean an increase in taxes for township residents of an estimated 0.66 mills the first year of the bonds. The millage rate will vary each year after, but is expected to decrease each year after the first. Township officials said taxpayers have seen a 1.5 mill reduction in recent bills when the emergency services build­ ing millage came off bills last year. Even with a 0.66 mill increase for emergency serv­ ices. The overall millage will be reduced with the 1.5 mills coming off.

Residents currently pay 1.5 mills for emergency services that goes toward operational costs as well as equipment needs. That millage will continue even if the bond is approved.

Cramer was issued a $25 citation from the village for having an unlicensed/unregistered vehicle in his yard for more than 30 days in one year, He fought the citation in Barry County District Court with the judge ultimately ruling on his side, but at the same time ordering him to properly license his vehicle. Judge Mike Schipper ruled there was confusion in the way the ordinance was being communicated. The code provision says in part “no person, firm or corporation shall store, place or per­ mit to be stored or placed, or allow to remain on any parcel of land for a period of more than 30 days in one calendar year, an unlicensed, disman- tied, partially dismantled or ordered to register the vehicle Village interim manager Cramer said the ordinance That fact leads us to believe finoperable motor vehicle, and get a legal plate.

Three permits were granted by the commission between Sept. 14 and Oct. 20. All were for accessory buildings larger than the zoning district allowed; two were not controversial. The third permit application submitted by Earl Jourden was for an addition measuring 25-by- 40-foot to an existing accessory building. The addition would be used to store vehicles currently at another location that is being sold. The first hurdle came during the required public hearing when Doug Venema stated he had no problem with the size of the building but was concerned about its use. He said Jourden had a salvage business and did not want the building to be used for the business. Commissioner Mike Kelly, who was presiding in the absence of chair Archie Warner, closed the hearing., Discussion among the comJourden missioners and began with Jourden explaining 'he had four vehicles stored elsewhere that he needed to bring home. Kelly said the size of the addition would make the accessory building 45 percent larger than the ordinance allowed; he also questioned the use of a breezeway to connect the two structures. Commissioner Jodi Masefield questioned the size. Jourden said he had five vehicles he needed to store and needed the 40 feet of length.

Duane Gunnink suggested adding a garage to his residence or adding the addition­ al square footage to the existing building for which he would not need a special use permit. Commissioner Don Koopmans thought the existing building should be torn down and a new, larger structure be built. He remarked he could not support tying two buildings together with a breezeway. He also said there were neighbors with smaller buildings. Ultimately, he rec­ ommended Jourden come back to the commission with a revised plan. His motion to the table request was approved. Jourden returned to the commission on Oct. 20, with a revised plan adding a 24by-28-foot addition to his residence. The ensuing discussion focused on compatibility of materials used for the addition with those of the residence, screening to the north, and the 35-foot setback to the street. Gunnink wanted mate­ rials currently stored outside to be stored inside; only frequently used items could be stored outside. Koopmans moved to approve the special use per­ mit with conditions: compliance with all federal, state, and local regulations; storage only without business use; height limited to 25 feet; and use of materials matching the The residence. existing motion was approved. Permits were approved for Ken Koning to add a 50-by60-foot accessory building on a 25-acre property for storage and for Kirk Langbehn and Nancy Vandenbrook to add an accessory building 36-by40-foot, also for storage.

What will it take to get to the next level in the program and how will you as a village leader help make it happen? Middleville is currently at the beginning associate level, To achieve the next level the program requires 1) the village hire a full time Main Street manager and 2) extensive training for those involved locally. The pro­ gram can offer incentives to encourage private investment within the identified Main Street area, which the village clearly needs. I believe before 44 jumping to the next level, the village council must have specific information on the cost benefits of the program based on experiences in the existing 21 select and master Michigan communities.

From Our Readers Local Citizens Speak Out On Issues GRCC candidates qualified to serve yo (he editor: Voters in the Kent County an(j tfoe Kent Intermediate School District, as well as residents of the ThomappleKellogg School District in Barry' County. I will be casting ballots Nov. 4 to elect two trustees for Grand Rapids Community College. I urge consideration of candidates Cynthia Bristol and Jim Harvey who are extremely well-qualified. Both have worked at GRCC and have devoted their careers to com­ munity college and their stu­ dents. has recently Cynthia retired after serving 22 years on the faculty at GRCC. In addition, she has served mul­ tiple leadership roles in com­ munity and professional organizations, including St. Cecilia Music Center and the Byron Center Public Schools Parent Advisory Board. Jim has a master’s degree in educational administration and a Ph D. in counseling. He was director of counseling at GRJC and then went on to become president of a community college elsewhere, then consulting and writing books in the field of higher education administration. Both candidates also share values regarding the sanctity of human life and the sanctity of the institution of natural marriage. In public education nowadays there is much hostility toward these truths. For the sake of students, faculty and the future of our community, principled trustees are needed to ensure that our worldview is alsoallowed to compete on a level playing field in the marketplace of ideas, Please exercise your constitutional right and vote Nov. 4. c» Rick Snoeyink, Caledonia J \ Q e f» < tt > Sod Special IF» oT ■ siofflJSM’zo L Eyebrow Arching 'X w/Chemical Service Ombre (excludes partial fodj \\ Low Lights Sale ends 10-31-14 I !

The Middle Villa inn closed earlier this year and contents of the bowling alley, banquet rooms, restau­ rant and microbrewery were auctioned off in August. Steven and Sue Wiersum still own the property, but with no interested bids on the facility, opted to demolish the structure. Crews are working to tear down the facility. The Wiersum family owned and operated the Middle Villa Inn for 45 years. The site of many wedding receptions, class reunions and meetings, sat on about five acres of land with an additional 16 acres located behind the building.

The goal of this week is self-explanatory, but what does it mean to you? Are you vulnerable to the possibility of reaching retirement with­ financial out sufficient resources? If so, how can you ease this risk? Let’s look at the “vulnera­ bility” issue first. How pre­ pared you’ll be for retire­ ment — or at least how pre­ pared you think you’ll be — seems to depend, not surpris­ ingly, on whether you are currently participating in a retirement plan such as a 401(k) or an IRA. Consider these statistics, taken from the Employee Benefit Research Institute’s 2014 Retirement Confidence Survey: • Nearly half of workers without a retirement plan were “not at all confident” about their financial security in retirement, compared with only about one in 10 with a plan. • 36% of workers say they have less than $1,000 in sav­ ings and investments. Of this group, 73% said they and their spouse did not have a ph® ki^|( • M n it * « retirement plan, compared to just 11% of those with a plan. Clearly, it pays to con­ tribute to your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored plan, such as a 403(b) or 457(b). And, even if you do have a 401 (k) or similar plan, you may want to consider funding a Roth or traditional IRA. Besides contributing as much as you can afford to your retirement plans, what else can you do to help boost your retirement savings? For one thing, try to control your debts. It’s not always easy, but try to consistently live within your means and make wise spending deci­ sions. Every dollar you don’t spend on debt payments could be going toward your retirement savings. • While it’s essential that you save and invest for retirement, you can’t forget other objectives you may have, such as helping pay for your children's college edu­ cation. Of course, if you're like the vast majority of peo­ ple, you don't have unlimited resources so working toward two major financial goals at the same time can certainly be challenging. Nonetheless, a college edu- * . u ; B tofedbkwliiplii i x 11’®. d ' - A M <T HI I iW , III t1 ■ an®'5' ^•5 I» uw®51 ft - - wtl* ffir•;- ss**' six’ If F , of Area, from 1 to 4 p.m. Department The Natural Resources recently Volunteers are needed to announced its November help with habitat restoration schedule of volunteer stew- by removing invasive ardship activities at state species that threaten native parks and recreation areas in environments.

Your best move may be to start saving for college just as soon as possible — even when your children are quite young. By starting early, you’ll put time on your side, so you can put away smaller amounts each year than if you waited until the years right before your kids head off to school. Consider investing annually whatever amounts you can afford to a tax-advantaged college savings vehicle, such as a 529 plan. By investing as much as much as possible in your retirement plan, managing your debt load and balancing your retirement goals with other key objectives, you'll be honoring the message of National Save for Retirement Week.

There is no fiscally responsible way to answer this question because there are already three sepa­ rate locations of vacant space and this does not total all the vacant space in the village.

The good news is carbon monoxide poisoning is completely preventable. “Now is the time to ensure that gas-fired furnaces, hot water heaters and carbon monoxide detectors are work­ ing properly,” said Dr. Matthew Davis, chief med­ ical executive at the MDCH. “Carbon monoxide is difficult to detect so it’s important to evacuate the area of contami­ nation immediately and seek medical attention if you sus­ pect you have been exposed to carbon monoxide.” Residents should never use generators, grills, camp stoves or other gasoline or devices charcoal-burning inside a home, basement, garage or near a window because these appliances give off carbon monoxide. Running a car in an enclosed garage can create lethal levels of carbon monoxide in min­ utes. Michigan's carbon monox­ ide poisoning tracking system counted 22 unintentional deaths and 765 non-fatal 9 to unintentional carbon monoxide poisonings in Michigan in 2012 alone, the most recent year of complete data. More than 60 percent occurred during the winter months and happened most frequently at home. Michigan ’s Michigan's December 2013 ice storm, which caused power outages in about 400,000 households, resulted in one carbon monoxide death and 300 percent increase in emergency department visits for carbon monoxide poisoning. Proper use and placement of alternate power sources would have prevented many of these poisonings.

The Fighting Scots played nine total sets in league match-ups Lowell and East Grand Rapids. Caledonia’s varsity volleyball team scored a 3-2 win in Lowell Thursday, with some big rallies against the Red Arrows. Lowell took the first two sets, then the Fighting Scots came storming back to take the next two and force a fifth and deciding set. Lowell raced out to a 13-7 lead in that fifth set, but Caledonia got the momentum and never let go to win 15-13. . “Lowell came out ready to go," go/’ said Caledonia head coach Katie Webber. “Lowell played extremely hard and with energy. We didn't start hard, and fought back the rest of the night. Every game was close after set number one. i b> rft We had not played five games all year and it was a great challenge for us to come back from being down two sets." Lowell took the first two sets by the scores of 25-10 and 25-23. The Scots then won the next two sets by the score of 25-23, 25-23. Sophomore outside hitter Jenna Asper had a team-high ten kills for Caledonia, and when the Scots needed a point Webber said her girls could rely on a set up to her on the right side being a success. Jessica Marvin had ten blocks. Cameron Peek had 15 assists in the match for the Scots. While it was Senior Night for the Arrows, Caledonia’s seniors had a big night. Senior libero Mackenzi Bredeweg recorded a new personal record 42 digs, and had four aces too. Samantha Jansma and Jenna Walma, another pair of seniors, came up big for the Scots according to Webber, helping their team rally after entering in the middle of the game.

That's really what they did to us last game. When we passed well in our match, in sets two and three, that’s when we were success­ ful, and they know it."

When I think about my additional families, they include the newspapers that our company produces. They also include the 300-plus employees, from reporters to graphic designers, to press people to delivery drivers that help get the paper to your doorstep or mailbox. My expanded family also includes the community that supports our operation through advertising revenue and that we cover in our news stories. My special fortune comes in seeing my personal family as part of my business fami­ ly. My three children play major roles in the operation of J-Ad Graphics, Inc., just as I and my three siblings felt newspaper blood flowing through our veins thanks to my parents, Mel and Alice Jacobs, who purchased The Reminder in 1945. My broth­ er, John, is still a key part of the business in his role as Fred Jacobs president of the firm.

I hope that, like me, you’ll take comfort in the assurance I take in how the next generation views the newspaper industry generally and J-Ad Graphics, Inc., specifically, as we move with L’ ^.1 Today, it’s almost like you’re an advertising agency, you’re offering advice, you’re a con­ sultant because, a lot of times, a business owner has no idea how to effectively market their product. Jon Jacobs: At the end of Jennie Yonker the day, that’s what it comes down to: relationships — on the news side, too. We highlight the great things in our commu­ nities, but we also work on identifying the problems, too, and then what we need to work on them. That takes relationships. Fred: Dick Guenther, our former school superintendent, knew the value of that balance. He knew that unpleasant things some­ times would happen and sometimes they would become news­ paper stories. So, to balance it out, he used his relationship with us to constantly be providing good stories. Jon: That’s why a news­ paper is so powerful in a com­ munity, even in this day of social media. When you write a letter to the editor, you sign your name. When people make comments on social media they can be anony­ mous or sign with some crazy name. Social media is dumb­ ing down society. Fred: You’re right. There’s a lack of critical thinking skills today and I believe a community gets more of that Jon Jacobs if it has a newspaper. Jon: I’ve been part of a polling effort with the Computer Newspaper Association in which we asked people how they like to receive their political news during the current mid-term election campaign. Seventy nine percent of the public responded that they prefer making their decisions based on what they read in the newspaper. Why? Because they said what they read in the newspaper is believable. Jennie: Technology has changed the industry, but it’s been a big help, too. I remember that when I started in 1994 there was no e-mail. I picked up ad copy and drove proofs back to customers in Sparta, Richland, Cedar Springs, Grand Rapids J Caledonia. It is exciting to see what we can do with technology Heritage is, naturally, very important to me. I love my family and I love the business of which we’re all a part. Knowing that the heritage of our newspapers is also a part of the heritage I’m building as a father, a husband, and a grandfather give me great joy — and confidence. I sat down recently with my three children to discuss the state of our business, the dramatic changes in the newspaper indus­ try, and the commitment we have to our community. It was a conversation that I thought would be of interest to our readers, especially as these last three years it’s been through your financial support we’ve been able to ensure the delivery of helpful advertising, valuable news content, and reading ~ ill! Jennie: I think that’s one thing that hasn’t changed in our business, you spend more time with advertisers, you build a relationship. -la -A -» gjjulll ■!

I can’t tell you now many people have come in and come in again for reprints of pictures we took of their children or grandchildren. And you can’t make a scrapbook out of the pictures on your phone.

Kristen Cove has filed as a new member to the board. Cove has been an active volunteer at all the schools in the district. She and her husband, Andy, have four sons all attending TK High School, Middle School and McFall Elementary School. Cove has held positions in the McFall PTO, is a found­ ing member of the Parents for TK Schools, youth group director and Bible School teacher at her church, former AYSO secretary and treasur­ er and has assisted with sev­ eral fundraising campaigns. She actively and regularly volunteers with different needs throughout the dis­ trict. Since 2012 she has also served as a member of the Irving Township Board of Review. I am running for school board because I am passion­ ate about public schools,” said Cove. “The school sys­ tem is the heart of our community. I had several friends encourage me to run and their support and positivity solidified my decision. TK Schools has a tradition of excellence that I would like to see continue and I look forward to being part of that team.” Incumbents David Smith and Anne Hamming are seeking re-election, Smith has served on the board for 20 years and currently serves as the board president. Hamming was appointed in 2013 to fill the remaining term of former board member Scott Kiel, Board member Kim Selleck opted not to seek re­ election this term. He has 4b served on the board for 20 years. In addition to the three board seats, voters will also be asked to vote on renewal of the 18 mill non-homestead tax. If approved, the tax will be renewed for 10 years. The non-homestead tax is not a new tax, but a continu­ ing one. The millage is not assessed on primary resi­ dences. The tax applies to industrial, commercial, busi­ ness, rental and second homes. District officials say the millage is critical to the con­ tinuation of operational costs of the district including materials, instructional staffing and maintenance. Without the non-homestead renewal, the district will lose more than $2.2 million. The non-homestead mill­ age was last renewed in 2005 for 10 years. by Fran Faverman Staff Writer Jim Glazier, principal at Caledonia High School, Tuesday afternoon announced his retirement in a letter to the community. He has been principal of the school for 15 years and is a 1973 graduate of CHS. Acknowledging mixed feelings, Glazier wrote, “I have been ‘going to school' since I was 5 years old. I have known no other role but to be pail of a school district ... it is bittersweet to announce that 1 have decid­ ed to retire effective Nov. 30.” ' He went on to say that the Caledonia community and school district have provid­ ed him with an opportunity to work with an excellent community of students, par- ents and colleagues. Summing up his experi­ ence of 38 years as an edu­ cator, he said, “I have been fortunate to have been in several great districts and none rank above Caledonia Community Schools. His tenure in Caledonia as a student, teacher and administrator, is reflected in his closing remark, sayin o I will always bleed purple. ^9 44 Two is better than one; Thornapple and Yankee Springs discuss joint fire board Long ballots, key choices in Caledonia elections by Fran Faverman Staff Writer ariT nob The ballot for Nov.4 elec­ tion is lengthy. . For Caledonia voters some of the most interesting choices and new faces are on the nonpar­ tisan portion of the ballot where choices for the Community Caledonia Schools District as well as the Village of Caledonia are located.

Following a short intro­ duction by district superin­ tendent Randy Rodriguez, who explained he and the school staff wanted to intro­ duce the board to how a new research-based system of instruction being used in the district was working. Chris Vydrany, principal, Paris Ridge Elementary, showed a short video related to research done by Anthony which Marzano, Ph.D., stresses meeting 80 percent of the needs of students both academically and behaviorally. The system also provides a way for students to learn a data-based method of checking their own progress in meeting learning goals, For school districts adopting the Marzano approach, there is a considerable investment in training and learning for staff and faculty. ■ According to Rodriguez and Vydrany, the question is, "How do we know that we are meeting the needs of our students?" Providing a databased method that involves the student as well as the teacher in collecting and evaluating the data to provide current feedback and set new goals is the substance of the process. Four tables staffed by Paris Ridge faculty from Kindergarten through were set up in the meeting room; it did not take long for each table to attract an audience of parents, board candidates, and administrators and other staff. Nichole Meurlin, secondgrade teacher, demonstrated how the process worked using an actual data set from a student; Berry Kane, fourth-grade used it to show how work in an arithmetic lesson was evaluated; Landsey Nickels showed its use to analyze progress in reading; and Liz Sorsen, kindergarten teacher, used it to show how a student learned to identify shapes and attach the correct name occurred at the Oct. 13 board to each shape. workshop were also adopted Sienna Mohl, the representative to the board from as part of the minutes of that the Caledonia High School meeting.

One estimate suggests that 338 customers will be divert­ ed to Grand Rapids. Solvin oa a capacity problem does affect revenue. Some conversations have been held to begin exploring reorganization of the struc­ ture under which both the village and the township have operated such utilities. It is quite likely a sophisti­ cated rate study w ill be need­ ed. It is also likely village residents will face increases in such costs. Also of interest to Caledonia voters is the opportunity to vote for new county commissioners.

Also noted was that the current contract would continue, without interruption, while the town­ ships work out the details, The current contract is not binding to a set length of time and can be terminated or modified by mutual town­ ship resolutions, when both townships have reached a consensus on where they want to go with it. “I am very please with the direction we are taking with this. This fire board would be good for us, and is some­ thing 1 think we need to do. It seems fairest to all parties. It will be hard work at first but will result in a win-win for all the residents,” said Middleton. “We should get together more often,” said Englerth, complimenting the Thornapple Township board for their willingness to cooperate,” we are communicating in a productive manner and 1 am confident we will work the issues out. There are so many unknowns but having a fire board in place will mean being able to addresses them as they come up. Lyn (Harvey) has gotten us talking and thinking, it’s the best place to start.

You do not want an inefficient system.

The board will deal with budget approvals regarding funding from each respective township.” Describing the difference between a fire board and a authority, fire Harvey explained that a fire board is a general purpose form of government, whereas, a fire authority is categorized as a special purpose form of govemment which gives it the legal standing to implement taxation for funding. School districts are a form of special government. “I encourage you to look at a fire authority down the road, but for now a joint fire board will serve today’s needs of each township. It will facilitate the full will engagement and cooperative efforts of each township, while giving voice to Yankee Springs and still allowing Thornapple Township to retains it's EMS committee.

Middleville interim man­ ager Duane Weeks explained to the council the wells are required by the Department of Environmental Quality to help isolate and verify areas of contaminants. He said the DEQ wants the wells installed as soon as possible. Bradford White plant engineer Ralph Boyea told the council this is an histori­ cal problem that goes back several years when the com­ pany used a degreaser mate­ rial that got in to the ground­ water system. The material is no longer used, but monitor­ ing of the groundwater con­ tinues. The monitoring wells help the DEQ isolate and define the area of contamination. Company officials said some wells were installed more than 20 years ago while the newer ones were put in place about 10 years ago. Weeks said this is not any­ thing new, only in regard to the need for two new cluster wells in Stagecoach Park. Creating the wells will take between six to eight working days to complete. An environmental drilling company will install adja­ cent shallow and deep moni­ toring wells. The wells will be completed with steel pro­ tective covers that will be flush mounted with the ground. Bradfored White will restore the drilling areas to original condition by spring at least. Council member Sue Reyff asked Bradford White to put their commitments to the village in writing while acknowledging the compa­ ny’s long-standing commitment to the community, Othercouncil members said putting it in writin ’ ' was not necessary and that the letter provided to the council meet­ ing was sufficient in explain­ ing the details of the wells and that the site would be restored.

I just looked at the numbers in their budget, saw they balanced, and approved it” At issue is a formula based, on taxable value and millage rate in each county that produces a ratio of financial responsibility for the health department operations. Barry County Administrator Michael Brown told commissioners Tuesday that cal­ culations have placed Barry County’s responsibility at 37.9 percent and Eaton's at 62.1 percent. Due to declines in taxable values, Barry County's portion has trended downward. In 2012. Barry County contributed $431,049 as its share of responsibility, but then responsibility, 1 dropped it to $4(X),(XX) in 2013 due, in part, to budget concerns. “Our share is not what it should be on the calculation used,’" reported Brown, to which Commissioner Crai Stolsonburg said that, even with the $31,049 currently being requested by the health department, Barry County still would not be holding up its end of the bargain. Commissioners agreed that the age of the bargain made between the two coun­ ties may have some bearing on the discussion. Crafted in 1966, Barry and Eaton coun­ ties based their joint finan­ cial support of a two-county health department on populalion size only. At some point, which Brown could not iden­ tify, the formula changed to a taxable value and millage rate calculation. This $432,000 [Barry County's total contribution to the health department’s $1.18 million budget] would be in line with the formula, as paSf?” asked as jn by Schellinger, sup------ jim Commissioner DeYoung. Assured that it was, though upcoming dis­ cussions between the two counties may lead to an adjustment in how the for­ mula is calculated, DeYoung added his support. As did Board Chair Joyce Snow who indicated her hope and interest in Brown meeting with his Eaton County counterpart to dis­ cuss future funding arrange­ ments. “We have not paid our fair share, and that’s why I intend to vote ‘Yes’ on this resolution,” said Snow. “I’m At < ll hopeful that Michael can you’re giving them today? and the adult drug court. • A $4,750 appropriation meet with the Eaton County You need to think long and comptroller to look at the hard 1 wouldn't be surprised from the general fund for amount to see if if s fair and that taxpayers arc going to adult drug court program based incentives. to see if the calculations are knock your doors dow n.” • A three-year contract Later in the meeting. correct ' Until then.

The MDCH Bureau of Laboratories has recently confirmed three cases of influenza, the first identified by the state laboratory for the 2014-15 Michigan flu sea­ son. “Working together with statewide professional groups such as the Michigan State Medical Society and Michigan Osteopathic Association, we can partner to promote greater levels of protection against influenza in our communities.” said Matthew Davis, M.D., chief medical executive with MDCH. “Vaccine-preventa­ ble diseases like the flu are a very real threat, and we can all do more to provide educa­ tion,’encouragement and sup­ port around the importance of timely vaccinations for our patients, friends and loved ones.” MDCH has confirmed the first cases of influenza iden­ tified by the state laboratory during the 2014-15 flu sea­ son. One case has been con- firmed as an influenza A(HIN1) 2(X)9 virus, one as an influenza A(H3N2) virus, and one as an influenza B virus. All are adults and two were hospitalized. The single best way to protect against the flu is to get vaccinated each year," said Kenneth Elmassian, D O., the immediate past president of the Michigan State Medical Society. “Flu season is already in full swing, and every adult, as well as all children 6 months of age and older should receive their . annual flu shot.” In Michigan, three influenza-associated pedi­ atric deaths were reported during the 2013-14 influenza season, which was a decrease from the seven reported deaths durin during 2012-13. However, flu vaccination rates remain low, especially among young adults. Durin the 2013-14 season, only 10.1 percent of individuals 18 to 24 years of age were vaccinated against the flu. “Flu is an unpredictable respiratory illness, and certain individuals are more at risk. The best way to prevent illness is to get the flu vac­ cine early,” said Dr. Myral Robbins, president of the MOA. “There is still time to get vaccinated for this year’s flu season. Protect yourself, it I It WHE M your loved ones and all those with whom you come in con­ tact with little or low risk to you.” The flu is a contagious and sometimes life-threatening respiratory virus, especially for infants, the elderly, preg­ nant women and people with certain health conditions. Everyone six months of age and older should get a flu vaccine each year; vaccina­ tion is the first and most important step to protect against the flu. It is recommended that all residents over 6 months of age receive the flu vaccination as soon as the vaccine is available to receive the most protection against the virus all season long, MDCH, MOA.and MSMS are urging Michigan families to talk to their health care providers today about the vaccines they need for them selves and their families. Michigan health care providers are encouraged to strongly recommend vaccines to patients of all ages and to never miss a chance to vacci­ nate.

The tax applies to industrial, commercial, busi­ ness, rental and second homes. School districts must levy a non-homestead tax in order t0 receive ful1 Per PuPU funding from the state. The non-homestead mill­ age generates more than $2.2 million for the district’s operational budget. The vote was 3,253 sup­ porting the millage renewal with 1,684 votes against it. On the board of education, three candidates were elected to fill three vacant, six-year terms. David Smith and Anne Hamming will return to the board of education for another term. Smith has served 20 years on the board and currently serves as board president. Hamming was appointed in 2013 to fill the • remaining terms of Scott Kiel.

In a bond issue that con­ sumed considerable attention leading up to Election Day, Thomapple Township voters approved an EMS equipment measure by a 58-42 margin. according to Mike Bremer, Thomapple Township supervisor. “We are very excited to begin the process of upgrad­ ing and replenishing our emergency equipment,” said Bremer on Wednesday. “Out with the old, in the with new, so to speak.” The bond approval essentially gives the township the authority to entertain competitive terms on a loan by local financial lenders and Bremer was confident that they would be accepting the terms from a local lender. Bremer was grateful to the township’s willingness to approve the bond to address the much needed equipment upgrades/repairs of the Emergency Medical Service equipment. millage reduction was not considered. • “At the end of the deficit, we did tell people way back when that we would reduce the millage rate when the deficit was eliminated,” Lutz maintained. “We haven't talked about reducing the millage rate yet.” Interim village manager Duane Weeks said the coun­ cil must decide what millage rate to establish. He said the budget was built on keeping the millage rate at the current level. . “If you decide to change it,” said Weeks, “then we’ll have to look at changes in the budget.” Weeks said the proposed budget is balanced, but “just barely.” He noted there is not a lot of extra money to allow for adjustments to the affecting the status of wolves in Michigan.

Village council members agreed an inter-fund loan from the sewer fund could be used to meet the 10 percent match for the Main Street bridge replacement project slated to take place next summer. The village will need between $212,000 and $225,000 for the match. Some council members expressed concern about making certain the loan is repaid in a timely manner. Several years ago the village made a similar loan from the sewer fund, however because of the crash in the economy the loan could not be repaid as intended and it put the village into a deficit elimination plan with the state. The funds were eventually repaid to the sewer fund and the village is now out of the deficit elimination plan. Council member Joyce Lutz said she wanted assurances that wouldn't happen again. < Council instructed attor­ ney Mark Nettleton to create a revised resolution outlining specific repayment sched­ ules for the loan. Nettleton presented the revisions to the committee of the whole Wednesday. The resolution states the loan will be paid off in five years with minimum annual 9 ■ rW Ljr li ^6' iS I hl payments of $25,000 per year with the first payment due in September 2015. The village must budget accord­ ingly so that the entire loan is paid off within five years, Council members agreed on the inter-fund resolution and repayment proposal. The bridge project is scheduled to begin next spring with council members reviewing plans for the bridge at Wednesday’s meeting. Sue Tebbe from Williams & Works presented plans that included two overlook viewing areas on both sides of the bridge as well as bike lanes incorporated as part of the roadway. Council members agreed only one viewing station per side is needed in an effort to reduce costs. They also discussed lighting on the bridge and at least putting conduit in place if decorative lightin a is added in the future. Bids for the project are expected to be opened in April with work to begin shortly after. Council memmem­ bers expressed some concern about bids and the tendency lately for bids to come in higher than anticipated for projects. The project estimat­ ed cost is a little more than $2.1 million. “If they come in low, we can add things, but the real tendency lately is for bids to be high,” said council mem­ ber Mike Lytle. During construction, east­ bound traffic will remain open while westbound traffic will be detoured. t 518 M •w IWb*. * * iLn. * V£3J. 4 4 ■ tai b| * iA is k? k.

Another matter that brought spirited discussion during the council's commit­ tee of the whole meeting involved compensation num­ bers. Council discussed a request from department of public works assistant direc­ tor Charlie Miller. He requested a 6 percent pay hike starting in 2015, instead of a 2 percent raise awarded to other employees. Miller argued he did not get raises other employees have been awarded in the past. Miller started workingo full-time as a village employee in April 2012. Union employees were given a 2 percent raise starting in 2013. But because Miller hadn't been employed with the village for a full year, he did not get the raise. No raises were offered in 2014. Another 2 percent hike is approved beginning in 2015. Miller said he deserves to have the 2 percent awarded in 2015 along with other employees, but said he should also get at least another 2 percent others received in 2013. He asked for a 6 percent raise that would be a 2 per­ cent raise for each of the three years he has worked for the village. “I’m asking only to be brought up to where I should be,” said Miller. Miller’s current wages are $23.88 per hour which will increase to $24. 36 per hour in 2015. The DPW director wagers are $26.75 per hour increasing to $27.29 per hour. Council members were split on the request. Some agreed he should receive a 4 percent increase instead of the 2 percent that everyone will get in 2015. Others said he should only get the 2 per­ cent being awarded to other employees. “What do we do with the rest of the employees when they come in and want more? And they’re making a lot less money than he is," said council member Ed Schellinger. Council member Shannon Haigh said she understood Miller's point, but asked “Where does it end? How do we respond to others who might want more of a raise too?” Council member Joyce 84 th Cherry Valley 6561 r Jasonville Farms Caledonia •J ll - STORE HOURS - Call Shannan Smith at 616.878.0798, Monday - Friday 8:30am - 6pm; Saturday 8:30am - 2pm shannan.smith^unitedbankofmichigan.com 9980 Cherry Valley, Caledonia (M-37) 4 t f or apply at www.unitedbankofmichigan.com o in ID O io 00 CD O ** UNITED BANK MORTGAGE CORPORATION (616) 891-0303 06854549 Jp. ■ , 2 ' .. . « �I Page 4/The Sun and Hews, Saturday.

Holiday season forgets hungry children What sad statistic do more than 20 percent of American children share? While most Americans will worry about eating too much this holiday season, 16 million of our country's children live in households that struggle to afford food, according to a 2012 report from the United States Department of Agriculture. % “We hear about ‘food insecurity’ quite a bit, especially after the 2008-09 eco­ nomic crash, but I think most people don’t have a clear picture of what that means,” says Lois Brandt, a former Peace Corps volunteer and author of “Maddi’s Fridge,” (www.MaddisFridge.com), a children’s picture book that asks the question: What do Over 50 group will be entertained by Thornapple Valley Strings * Wednesday, Nov. 12, the “Over 50” Group and their guests will have a 12 noon potluck dinner at the Community Center in Freeport.

And the more you know about these expenses, the better prepared you will be to deal with them. To begin with, just how expensive is long-term care? Consider this: lire average cost for a private room in a nursing home is more than $87,000 per year, according to the 2014 Cost of Care by produced Survey Genworth, a financial-serv­ ices company. And the average cost of an assisted living facility, which provides a level of care that is not as extensive as that offered by a nursing home, is $42,000 per year, according to the same Genworth study. All long-term care costs have risen steadily over the past several years, with no indica­ tion (hat they will level off. Many people, when they think about long-term care at all, believe that Medicare will pay these costs — but that's just not the case. Typically, Medicare only covers a small percentage of long-term care expenses. which means you will have to take responsibility. Of course, if you are fortunate, you may ;o through life without ever needing to enter a nursing home or an assisted living facility, or even need­ ing help from a home health­ care aide. But given the costs involved, can you afford to jeopardize your financial independence — or, even worse, impose a potential burden on your grown children? To prevent these events, you will need to create a strategy to pay for long-term care expenses — even if you never incur them. Basically, you have two options: You could self-insure or you could “transfer the risk" to an insurer. If you were going to self­ insure, you would need to set aside a considerable sum of money, as indicated by the costs mentioned above. And you would likely need to invest a reasonably high per­ centage of this money in invest­ growth-oriented ments. If you chose this self­ insurance route, but you never really needed a significant amount of long-term tower experts IHt Help for the Holidays, a Barr) County program to care, you could simply use help people in need at the bulk of the money for Christmastime, is in the your normal living expenses process of gathering names during retirement and ear­ of those who wish to be mark the remainder for your helped.

Mona Shores senior quar­ Jackson terback Tyree spread the ball all over the field, rushed it around the end himself a handful of limes, and got it into the arms of running runnin back DeOntay Moffett enough to make the Caledonia defense look to the middle of the field too. The Sailors scored their second victory of the season over the Fighting Scots in the Division 2 Pre-District con­ test in Muskegon Saturday, 42-14. The game was just slightly closer than the 40-7 contest the Sailors won when the two teams met at Mona Shores High School in September. “They're really fast, and they're really athletic, and they catch the ball really well .and they’ve got a four-year starter at quarterback, and they've got a fullback that's a stud." said Caledonia head coach Tom Burrill of the Sailors. “But they're physical too." he added. The physicality was espe­ cially evident on the defen­ sive front, as the Sailors' Boyd, Christian Mike Bordeaux, Tyler Tippins and Zach Hellman did an outstanding job limiting the Caledonia attack. Caledonia's two lowest scoring games of the year were their two losses to the Sailors. The Scots were held to 19 points when they were upset by Forest Hills Central the week before the first loss to Mona Shores. Caledonia averaged over 44) points a Caledonia’s varsity football team bursts onto the field at Mona Shores High School Saturday before the start of its Division 2 Pre-District contest with the host Sailors.

The matinee on Saturday, Nov. 15, at 2 p.m. and the evening show at 7 p.m. will be given by the Purple cast. Tickets for the perform­ ances are $6 when purchased in advance and $8 at the door. Advance purchases may be made online at chsplayers.org or by contact­ ing the box office at boxoffice@chsplayers.org or by calling the box office at 616­ 891-6207. The show is directed by Jason Marlett with David Garrett as stage manager. A chorus provides music and Mallory choreographer Waayenberg has provided dance numbers. This version of the famous tale will have something for everybody and will be a family-friendly entertainment. The basic tale, written by Charles Dickens, is the story of a bitter lonely old man who is noted for his miserly qualities, especially in relationship to his clerk, Bob Cratchit and Jiis family. Visited in his sleep by his former business partner, Jacob Marley, and the Ghosts of Christmases, Ebenezer Scrooge experiences a transformation of character. The cast is divided into two groups, the gold and the purple. The six major roles are double cast; that is, dif­ ferent actors will play them.

C4 When we've got Tyree going, and Moffett going, and Hunter going, and Darece (Roberson) going. I'm not trying to say this like braggin but I really think we're very dangerous offen­ sively," said Mona Shores head coach Matt Koziak. Scot head coach Tom Burrill thought the way the first drive of the game ended was the key, knowing his team couldn't afford to get in a hole against the Sailors. Caledonia took the open­ ing kick-off and over 12 plays moved 54 yards inside the Mona Shores' 20-yardline. Running back Jalen Burton was stuffed by the Sailor front on a 4th-and-3 run from the Sailor 19 to end the drive. Three plays later the Sailors scored the game’s first points on a 52-yard touchdown pass from Jackson to Roberson, “Our kids fought — — •—o&—back and got it to 14-7, but we needed to finish some drives early on because we knew they would score." Burrill said, “That's a heck of a team. That's a team that's going to be playing Brother Rice or somebody in the state finals. They're that good." A 3-yard touchdown run by Moffett put his team up 14-0, after the second of kicker Jacob DeRemer's six Ph ~ extra-point kicks, two min­ utes into the second quarter. A 41-yard run by Trenton Foreman and £ personal foul penalty on Mona Shores put the Scots' in position to score their first touchdown on the ensuing drive, Quarterback Tanner Christian rolled right and ran into the end zone from six yards out to get his team on the scoreboard. Scot kicker Austin Watrous hit both of his extra-point attempts in the contest. An interception by Mona Shores' Noah Dykstra put his team in possession in Caledonia territory7 late in the first half, and Jackson scored on a 2-yard run to put his team back up two touch­ downs before the intermis­ sion. Mona Shores opened the second half with a nine-play, 52-yard drive that ended in a 7-yard touchdown pass from Jackson to Broersma. The Fighting Scots worked their way back down the field the other way, get­ ting a 3-yard touchdown run from Logan Soule, but grind­ ing out a few yards at a time on the ground wasn't going to make up the difference. Mona Shores needed less than six minutes to get those seven points back. Jackson tossed a 39-yard touchdown pass to Matt Schuiteman deep down the middle with four minutes to go in the third quarter. Moffett tacked & on his team's final touch­ down with just five and a half minutes to play in the fourth quarter on a 2-yard run. “We had an amazing year." Burrill said. “Our kids were 2-2 and went through the OK White and played some really good teams and played them really well. We said all along Mona Shores was the best team we faced and our kids laid it on the line. We didn't play particu­ larly well, but they had a lot to do with that." Senior running back Eddie Kelly once again paced the Caledonia offense, rushing 115 times for 23 yards. He averaged five yards a carry', but his longest run of the night was 17 yards, I love our defense,” . Koziak said.- “1 said that at the beginning of the year. I said our defense was going to be pretty special ... any time you get Eddie Kelly not running for a 60-yard gain or breaking tackles and running 70 yards for a touchdown (it’s special), because he’s so tough to tackle one-on-one, two-on-one, he's like a bowl­ ing ball. The Scots also got 40 yards on ten carries from Burton. Christian was 2-of-8 pass­ ing for 20 yards and rushed 16 times for 41 yards. I I / f i ?i <- I.

County Commission not all in for banking initiative by Constance Cheeseman Staff Writer A request to support Barry Community Foundation’s quest for grant funding of a savings education program apparently didn’t balance the bottom line for two commis­ sioners at Tuesday’s Barry County Board of meeting, Commissioners though final approval was provided on the 5-2 count. “Granted I am backwoods about it, but I don’t see a big problem with people dealing with cash,” commented Commissioner Jim Dull, of the Bank On educational pro­ gram sponsored by the U.S. Department of the Treasury that has been operating in close to 100 communities nationwide, “My’ biggest problem with this is that it lures people in to do banking stuff with all the expenses and a lot of people are much better off (without them).” The National Bank On 2.0 Initiative is an effort by the Financial Cities for Empowerment Fund to con­ nect people who never use a bank and those who rarely use a bank to safe and affordable financial .services and products and has been primarily directed toward rural and geographically remote residents, The specific focus topic that attracted the interest of Barry Community the Barrv Community Foundation titled is is “Connecting Rural and Other Geographically Hard-toGeographically Hard-toReach Populations to Safe, Affordable Affordable Financial Products and Services” and comes with funding of $50,000. Bonnie Hildreth, BCF executive director, attended Tuesday’s commission meeting to request the commission’s support on a Request for Proposal for a local project that could be funded by a $50,000 CFE grant. “It is our belief that, starting with kids, we can create a society that believes that sav­ ing money is important,” Hildreth told commissioners, “We will be helping families to understand and to develop financial literacy.” Hildreth referenced a Nov. 1 Reminder story which highlighted a program funded by 4F PAIN IN THE ARCHES "Hfe Can Help” ALONG WITH ALL YOUR OTHER FOOT CARE NEEDS INCLUDING DIABETIC FOOT CARE AND SURGERY KENT PODIATRY DR.

Without access, predatory alternative financial service providers flourish. As a result, lowincome households lose thousands of dollars to exorbitant fees rather than increasing their net worth by accumulat­ ing assets. DeYoung countered that the bank branch in Woodland was closed for lack of busi­ ness, then issued Hildreth an accusatory charge, “I think people in Woodland are probably going to other metropolitan areas or online with some other banks; it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are under-served,” * stated DeYoung. “This is going to be really for the benefit of a single bank in Hastings is that correct? Isn’t that where these accounts are being funneled to?” Shifting to DeYoung’s focus on the educational savings accounts established by the DeCamp gift to the BCF, Hildreth clarified that the two programs — the educational savings account for children and the proposed financial literacy program for residents throughout a community — are different, but can be used to support each other. “We haven’t determined who our financial partner is for the children’s savings accounts at this point,” responded Hildreth, “but the children's savings accounts will actually be owned by the* community foundation under our tax identification num­ ber, and then we will be able to let them be accessed when the child presents all of the necessary information to the community foundation.” DeYoung still was not convinced. “I just don’t see why we, as a county, should do that (support the initiative),” continuing to draw a distinction between the two programs. “I just don’t see this (letter for support) as being the stumbling block to the pro­ gram that was initiated by the DeCamps. This does not necessarily go hand-in­ hand.” Hildreth then cautioned DeYoung with her own charge. ' ' “This isn’t just about the kids. This is about creating responsible financial litera- i ‘M PUBLIC NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Township Board of the Charter Township of Caledonia will hold a public hearing on November 19, 2014, at 7:00 p.m., at the Caledonia Township Hall, 8196 Broadmoor Avenue SE, Caledonia, Michigan, to hear and consider comments regarding the proposed Township budget for the January 1,2015 through December 31,2015 fiscal year.

Winchester returns to medal stand at final race by Brett Bremer Sports Editor It wasn’t her slowest finals. It wasn’t her fastest. It might have been her best though. Thomapple Kellogg sen­ ior Melissa Winchester earned her second state cross country medal Saturday, placing eighth at the Division 2 Lower Peninsula Cross Country Finals at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn. It was her best finish at the finals, after placing 24th as a sophomore and 35th as a jun­ ior. Her time of 18 minutes 50.4 seconds was her second best in the three trips to the finals, about 12 seconds off the time from her sophomore year. Fast times weren't easy in the cold, windy conditions Saturday. •“It kind of pounds you back it It like," feels Winchester said of the wind which she could especially feel between the one-mile and two-mile marks outside of the track at MIS. “You try to tuck in behind someone. At one point (I did), but at another point 1 was kind of alone for a little bit.” She wasn’t alone at MIS, as the Trojan team qualified for the third consecutive sea­ son. The Trojan team's 11th place finish as a whole was a little better than 2013 (13th) and not quite as good as 2012 (fourth), but a pretty spectacular day none the less. The TK girls were also joined by sophomore Erik Walter from the boys' team. Winchester was one of six seniors in the top ten of the D2 girls' race. The top three finishers were all seniors, with St. Johns Karrigan Smith pulling away from 7 5 h 1 $ i .0 r 7 fl ■' • J IS Thornapple Kellogg senior Melissa Winchester has a big smile on her face after accepting her medal for an eighth-place finish in the Division 2 Lower Peninsula Cross Country Finals Saturday at Michigan International Speedway. .

The Trojan senior said her goal was to finish in the top ten, so she was very happy with her day. She planned to celebrate with some candy corn on the day after Halloween.

Rounding out the seven for TK, senior Janie Noah was 164th in 21:04.7 and Emily Chatterson 193rd in 21:36.6. TK's Walter placed 148th in the boys' race with a time of 17:28.2.

Jil 5nn jitej ni to noil ariT baftoq bozziBq niqooJ by Fran Faverman Staff Writer Village President Glenn Gilbert wasted little time at Monday’s council meeting moving to appoint Danise Regan to the remainder of the two-year term vacated by Elizabeth Fanco. The situation arose when Fanco filed for a four-year term rather than the balance of the term she was serving. Her decision to run for a four-year term rather than the balance of the term she was currently serving left a vacancy for the two-year term on the ballot when no one filed for it and no write­ in candidate filed a declara­ tion of intent to run. Trustee Gary Scholl sup­ ported the motion and it passed unanimously thus keeping the council at its seven serving members. After thanking voters who supported his election, as did Fanco, Scholl, and Grinnage, Gilbert expressed his shock that only 46 percent of village residents voted, “You need to par­ ticipate,” was Gilbert’s mes­ sage to non-voters. Chief executive officer Tim Overholt and station manager Julie Way updated the council on the activities of Channel 189, the current home assigned to CAL-TV by Charter Communications, “We have $25,000 in the checkbook,” said Overholt. He added that profession­ al office management has also helped the station con­ tinue to improve its steward­ ship of the funds entrusted to it. Approximately $5,000 to $6,000 a year comes to the village as franchise fee pay­ requests. ments from Charter Paul Galdes, village engi­ Communications.

Regrading of the rapid infiltration beds is proceeding slowly, Jason Wangerin, chair, Planning Commission, said that nothing was going on except the amendment to an ordinance regarding residen­ tial living in storefront busi­ nesses. He noted the amend­ ed ordinance was on the agenda for action. Village manager and clerk Sandy Ayers reported on the election results, saying 428 village residents had voted in the election, but turnout had been lower than usual. Gary Scholl, township liaison, reported he has asked Bryan Harrison, town­ ship supervisor, to explain the scope of work on the sewer project. Other business before the council were motions to approve a rate study for sewer rates in the village and township, the amendment to the neighborhood business ordinance, and the purchase of an ad in the new chamber of commerce directory. All were approved. The next regularly sched­ uled meeting of the council will be Monday. Dec. 7, at 7 p.m. in the village hall, 250 Maple Street.

Council members dis- cussed the project a week ago at their committee of the whole meeting deciding to recommend two overlook one areas on the bridge on each side. But there was continued debate about whether that was the best plan for the future of the village. There was a suggestion the bridge have four bump out areas with two on each side. But that raises the cost of the project with each overlook area costing an estimated $5,000. Since the village doesn't know yet what the bids will be, some council members are concerned about the cost of the project and making sure the project stays within budget. Council member Joyce Lutz suggested more overlooks should be added for a bridge that is expected to last the community for 75 years or more. After a motion for four overlook areas failed to pass, another motion was made to add three bump out overlook areas - two on the south side and one on the north side. The majority of the coun­ cil members approved the revised plans for the bridge I ’ f1 L See BRIDGE, page 5 Thornapple Township moving quickly CUddV Drain PrOjCCl fflOVlng along to implement EMS bond approval by Constance Cheeseman Staff Writer Following voter approval of the Nov. 4 bond issue for equipment replacement at the Emergency Services Department, the Thornapple Township Board is wasting no time in taking action. The board will take bids for the bonds that will finance the project until 3 p.m. Friday, Nov. 14. On Monday, Nov. 17, during the town­ ship’s budget meeting, the board will open the bids from area lenders and accept the best offer. The board structured the bids so that purchases will be staggered over a period of time to avoid having to again replace all equipment at the same time. The total cost of the first bond will not exceed $940,000, including interest and legal fees over a the eight-year life span of the , nd Board members discussed establishing a savings pro­ gram for future service equipment so that, when the entire " bond issue is repaid, the township will not have to borrow money in the future tor Terri VanderKdoi (left) and Joyce Domire (far right) ' • present Dave Middleton, Thornapple Township Fire Chief, with a plaque of recognition on behalf of the Middleton Lincoln Meadows Senior Living Center, accepted the honor on behalf of the township’s Emergency Services department for providing professional and compassionate assistance to the residents of the community. the same issue, “We will work this into our with starting budgets.

CPP D/)jVD 0326 12 DURIIj, page by Fran Faverman Staff Writer The results of a Nov. 7 Cuddy Intercounty Drain Board meeting at Yankee Springs Township Hall appear to indicate a project begun in June 2013 with petitions from Wayland Township in Allegan County and Yankee Springs Township in Barry County is perhaps only one more step away from being ready to be rebid. . Members of the board are Grady Harrington, chair, Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, and drain commissioners Russ Yarger, Barry County, and Denise Medemar, Allegan County. Dan Fredericks, of Land and Resource Engineering, supplied preliminary cost estimates, suggesting the pro ject w jn project will cost $1,280,000.00. His recommendation for apportioning the costs divides them between Allegan County at $524,135 and Barry County at $756,705, or 41 and 59 percent, respectively. Costs such as legal, financing, administrative, environmentai permittin a wetland and floodplain mitigation, and environmental mitigation are excluded. The project, as it now stands, calls for replacing two rusting culverts under Patterson Road with a fourby-16-foot concrete box culvert. Because of flooding on the Allegan County portion of the Cuddy Drain and the desire of Wayland Township to solve additional problems and include other drains draining into the Cuddy Drain, those areas were added to the drainage district. The Cuddy Drain, which serves a predominantly agri­ cultural area, drains into Gun Lake. Members of the Gun Lake Protective Association and residents along naviga­ ble channels on Gun Lake became concerned with the problem of E. Coli contami­ nation in the lake and the resultant danger to users of the lake in 2012. Other problems affecting the lake were the amounts and types of debris entering the lake from the drain. The perception voiced by the GLPA and others plus sampling conducted by Friends of the Cuddy Drain called attention to the increasing amounts of sediment enter- See DRAIN, page 7 4 I In This Issue... • Packed Caledonia Township agenda also packs some surprises • District looks forward to technology upgrades with bond money • Veterans honored by students and community at TKHS assembly • Coach B humbled by MITCA’s highest honor V �Page 2/The Sun and News, Saturday, November 15, 2014 Walters honored by TK board of education , * TKHS cross country team honored by board Members of the Thornapple Kellogg High School girls cross country team were honored by the board of eduErik Walters was the lone qualifier for the boys state cation Monday night for their successful season.

"What do you want to see?” she asked, while noting that it was important to keep an open mind. She also said that some of the station equipment has compatibility issues with newer equipment and programs. Employee salaries and those of township officials were next explained by Robertson, who introduced the second seemingly routine issue, observing that, essentially, salary increases were limited to the application of a cost of living adjustment, Supervisor Bryan Harrison said the lack of volunteers willing to serve on a local officers public compensation commission had led the board to decide to take the responsibility for its compensation. Harrison had indicated earlier that he did not want the COLA. However, the resolution establishing his salary beginning in 2015 at $29,245 does contain it. The resolution was approved 6-0 on a roll call vote. Trustee Don Koopmans was absent V Breton •avel I www. Breton!ravei.com 1801 Breton Rd. 616-942-0300 2777 E. Paris Ave. 616-957-5055 E.

The final resolution set the compensation for trustees at $4,064; on a roll call vote, vote the resolution was approved 5-1, Hermenet again dissenting. Robertson pointed out that trustees also receive a per diem under special cir­ cumstances cumstances and and the the COLA COLA applies only to the base salary, salary, not notthe the total total compencompen­ sation reflecting any per* diem payments, Later in the meeting, Robertson suggested highsalaried individuals should, perhaps, not receive COLAs automatically. Robertson was thinking re-evaluating jobs and realigning salaries to reflect actual duties. He has felt that township clerks and treasurers perform equally valued functions and therefore should be compen­ sated equally. The township budget for 2015 was also up for discus­ sion. A $100,000 participa­ tion with Kent County Parks and Recreation had been for­ gotten and would be added. Referring to the comment by Overholt about the uncer­ tainty of funding for the community cable station and his desire to receive the money in one sum Robertson weighed in with his personal feelings. "I take umbrage at uncer­ tainty," Robertson stated, I don't want one large chunk. Agreeing to the request, Robertson pointed out, would require the township to fund half the budgeted amount up front in advance Cruise only, per person, based on double occupancy and availability.

Continuing the budget dis­ cussion, $800,000 is ear­ marked in 2015 for parks and trails. Harrison said there is $30,000 for engineering on a one-mile stretch of Alaska Avenue but no construction in 2015. Some maintenance will probably need to be done on a small section of Maple Street for which the township is responsible. The agenda issue that appeared to be thorny, the construction of a connection to the Grand Rapids Public Sewer System was dispensed in minutes. When the township was unable to meet the Dec. 31, 2014 deadline for the con­ struction of the connection, an extension of approximately a year was needed. The final documentation is now in place and must be approved by all the commu­ nities involved, thus the presence of several resolu­ tions requiring approval by the board to extend the con­ tract deadline to Dec. 31, 2015. The resolutions were approved on a single motion. Two major items requir­ ing board action were the purchase of 16 new airpacks for the Caledonia . Fire Department and approval of a study to determine appropriate sewer rates. Fire Chief Brian Bennett explained the new self-contained breathing apparatus has a 15-year life span; 16 units wiH cost $123,546. Because several fire depart­ ments combined their orders, they were able to receive two refillable canisters for each unit at the same cost as one unit and one canister. T(ie board approved the purchase unanimously. Robertson and Harrison explained the rate study was needed to determine how to set sewer rates in the village and the township should the system become one unified system rather than have two discrete entities operating as though two systems were involved. The concept being explored by the Joint Sewer Committee is known colloquially as Sewerville. The firm recommended to perform the study is H.J. Umbaugh and Associates, CPAs. The study will be paid for by both the village ($5,000) and the township . ($l 1,000) for a total cost of $16,000. Robertson said he expects much of the cost to > be reimbursable under the Stormwater Assessment and Management grants applied for by both communities. The following items were approved by the board: • The celebration of the Fourth of July will occur on Saturday, July 4, 2015. • A county foreclosure property was rejected. • Special assessments were added to the Dec. 1, 2014 tax bills.

Kellogg Thornapple Schools' one-to-one technol­ ogy initiative will help put the most useful technology tools into classrooms based on classroom needs. network Technology John administrator Dombrowski, told the board of education Monday night that, with the bond approval in May, the district will begin looking at the best options for technology to fit individual needs. It’s all curriculum driven, Dombrowski pointed out. Teachers will write appli­ cations for technology they see as the best fit for their Dombrowski needs, explained that, in high school English classes, Chromebooks might be the best option, but some type of tablet might better fit the cur­ riculum needs of a high school math class. “The point is to have pur­ chases driven by the curricu­ lum so each student has what he needs where and when he needs it,” said Dobrowski. “It might be different for dif­ ferent grade levels and even Correction I •.it 7 I® X An article in the Nov. 1 Sun and News about the Thornapple Kellogg Board of Education elections should have stated that new school Kristen board member Cove's eldest son is a senior at Hastings High School. different classes.” He said the initiative empowers teachers to make the best decisions for their needs so that technology is used effectively and efficiently. Teachers will pro­ pose the devices they want to use , but must complete information showing how that particular device supports their curriculum, Dombrowski said the dis­ trict committed $1.7 million from the bond issue to go toward technology needs in the district. Dombrowski said about $1.1 million will be used for the one-to-one initiative that should last between five and seven years, Devices will stay in each classroom, but Dombrowski said the district may consider some type type of of check-out check-out polipoli­ some cy for technology devices for students who don t have access at home.

' A beaming Mary Anne Timmer, member of the Caledonia Community Schools board of education who in consultation with Principal Tony Silveri and , the help help of the of faculty faculty members members Barbara DeJong and Jeremy Geerdes organized the first celebration, again greeted guests. Another constant was the provision of a color guard by Caledonia Post 305, American Legion. At 2 p.m. students began filing into the gymnasium with third and fifth graders occupying risers and other students sitting on the floor in a semi-circle before the chairs set up for adults. The Caledonia High School Marching Band played a medleye . composed of the B service anthems and a select proun group of bapniners bagpipers added their tunes. Timmer and Silveri wel­ comed the audience with brief remarks stressing the importance of the day and its relevance to the lives of students assembled before them. Following the entrance of the color guard the Pledge of Allegiance was led by troops of Cub Scouts and Giri Scouts. DeJong provid­ ■» ed a brief explanation of the celebratory character of the Star-Spangled Banner before having her students lead the audience in singing the anthem. The program continued with a video entitled, "Give Thanks." Geerdes explained children had made cards to say thank you to the veterans in the audience. Children weaved their way through the audience to put the cards into the outstretched hands of the veterans in the audience. Keynote speaker Darrell Kingsbury' was introduced by Timmer. by Kingsbury, when he is not being the assistant superintendent of the school district, is a staff sergeant in a guard unit sta­ tioned in Battle Creek. Impressive in his camouflage duty uniform, Kingsbury talked about his father, who had been a staff sergeant in the U.S. Air Force, and how he, himself, joined the U.S. Army after high school before going to college. Kingsbury pointed out that veterans, in their service, illustrate the values of hon­ esty, commitment, ability to follow the rules, and sacrifice. Honesty is key to trust; commitment is the oath every service person takes to defend the country; the military has lots of rules and ways of doing things; and ultimately sacrifice can result in loss of life. Kingsbury chose two youngsters from the circle in front of him to illustrate an important point. "Of all of you, only two will be willing to make the commitment to sene. In other words, the safety, security, and freedoms enjoyed by all depend upon the willingness of a few to make the choice to sene. "The most difficult is saying good-by to my wife and child." said Kingsbury, Kingsbury. ”1 never know whether I will be gone for a week, a month, or even longer. It is the person al sacrifice that is most diffi cult." . Responding to a question from the audience. Kingsbury concluded with. "Freedom Freedom comes with a price.” The Veterans Rap fol lowed.

Student activities concluded with a demonstra­ tion of maneuvers involving ways a basketball can be dribbled, all much to the enjoyment of the audience. The program concluded with a performance of a spe­ cial song by the third-and fifth-grade classes. The song, according to DeJong, was originally a prayer for the safe return of veterans. The event closed with all singing "God Bless God America." for children — from pencils and small toys, socks, toothbrushes and toothpaste, stickers, brushes and small books.

And, in fact, you can indeed “be there from the beginning’’ by tak­ ing part in a company's ini­ tial public offering (IPO). However, the ground floor of. many IPOs may be shakier than you'd think — and might not provide you with the solid footing you need to invest wisely. Of course, not all IPOs are the same. Many large, profitable companies, seeking to raise capital, have gone pub­ lic in recent years through IPOs. However, IPOs of newer, unproven companies share some characteristics that should give pause to serious, long-term investors. Consider the following: • Hype — Let’s face it: A big part of the appfeal of IPOs is the “wow’’ factor. It looks really cool when the compa­ ny’s CEO — or perhaps a visiting celebrity — rings the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange. And the rush to buy shares in the now-public company always gamers big headlines. Yet “hype’’ is just one letter removed from “hope" — and hope alone is not a good rea­ sonI eto invest. Furthermore, - j.v. ? . V• :• no single stock — even one f _ i . - f that might have strong growth potential — is likely going to be the ticket to investment success. * • Lack of track record — By definition, newer companies that launch IPOs don't have longe> track records. And while it's true that “past performance can't predict future results," it's nonetheless use­ ful to see how a stock has performed in various economic climates and how the company management has responded to different challenges over time, • Exceptional volatility — All stocks fluctuate in value. But IPOs tend to be especially volatile — not just in their first few days of trading but also in their first few years of availability to the public. • Higher risk potential — Generally, IPOs of newer companies are better suited for aggressive investors — those who can handle a higher degree of risk in exchange for potentially higher returns. • Nonstandard accounting — Some IPOs, particularly Internet start-ups, use nonstandard, or “customized,’’ accounting measures to depict their companies in the best possible light. While these measures are not illegal — and in some cases, may even be useful in illuminat­ ing a company's perform- - : - • . - ance — they tend, overall, to make it more difficult for potential investors to accurately evaluate a business' profitability, or at least potential profitability. At the end of the day, good oldfashioned profits and cash flow are still the key driver of companies' stock prices. As an alternative to pursu­ ing an IPO, you could use any extra “investable" money you may have to fill gaps in your current portfo­ lio, based on your goals. Or, if you are truly attracted to the type of business in which an IPO is involved, you might want to consider investing in a more established company inthe same industry. _ ‘ Taking part in an ”IPO sounds fun and exciting. But as we've seen, IPOs can have some serious drawbacks. And while it may not sound aa glamorous, steady approach to investing — one that involves diversification, responsiveness to one’s risk tolerance and a constant focus on both short- and long-term objectives — is usually the right choice for most of us.

Thornapple Kellogg varsity girls’ cross country coach Tamara Benjamin was honored with the Kermit Ambrose Award and a spot in the Michigan Interscholastic Track Coaches Association (MITCA) Hall of Fame Friday (Nov. 7) during the annual MITCA Cross Country Clinic banquet at the Hilton in Grand Rapids. The award, named after MITCA founder Kermit Ambrose, is the highest honor the group can bestow upon a coach in recognition of one’s outstanding service to the sport, school, associa­ v tion and community. Joining the Hall of Fame was a little bit of a surprise and becoming the second female coach to ever win the Ambrose Award was a complete shock. “Beforehand I saw a little bit and thought that maybe I of M/Z>o t*) FOUNDED ll-M made it into the Hall of Fame, but the Ambrose Award which is the highest award that MITCA gives, it was very humbling,” Benjamin said. “It was very, very humbling and very much a surprise.

I started with the cross country chair then was the chair for the cross country committee and just things like that.” In 26 years of coaching Benjamin’s teams have won 11 conference championships and four regional titles. “My first conference championship I think I had six kids on my team,” Benjamin said. “We were just doing the right thing I guess, then we won a couple conference championships and I remember Tom Lehman's wrestling group winning a state championship (in 1996) and just thinking oh, my gosh a state championship that’s just crazy.

You don’t coach for those reasons. You don’t coach thinking I’m going to go in and win a state champi­ onship or I’m going to do this.

We went to the 1964 World's Fair, and 1 can remember taking the ferry from Brooklyn for five cents at five o'clock in the morn­ ing. Even at 5 a.m., there aren’t a lot of ■'people on the streets in New York." Jacobs laughs about those early and innocent career ambitions today because his future had been cast long before strolling down Madison Avenue with diplo­ ma in hand. “Even though New York was fun and it was great to see the glitz of all the adver­ tising agencies, I always knew I was coming back home.” To the people of Hastings and the community of Marshall, where Jacobs invested 45 years as presi­ dent and publisher of the Advisor and later the com­ bined Marshall Advisor and Chronicle, it was a fortuitous and welcome decision. Now Jacobs may have time to re-visit New York City after announcing last week his retirement from the publishing business, effec­ tive Nov. 28. A retirement John Jacobs helped the family business expand to another newspaper market when he purchased the Marshall Advisor in 1969. He has decided to retire from the business that has been part of his life since he was in grade school. reception has been scheduled for Dec. 19 in Marshall. Hastings friends and associates will have an opportunity to pass on their own good wishes to Jacobs at an open house to be held at the J-Ad Graphics Inc. offices at 1351 N. M-43 Highway in Hastings Thursday, Dec. 4, from 1 to 3 p.m. Though his efforts have been centered in Marshall, Jacobs has continued to be a big contributor to the local community. He was a co- founder of the current Hastings Exchange Club and a United Way board member for 20 years. “No, I’m staying right here,” Jacobs says with a smile about his immediate retirement plans, “I’ve got time now to sort my socks.” Time, too, to reflect on a remarkable career that actu­ ally began when he was a youngster helping his par­ ents, Mel and Alice Jacobs, who founded J-Ad Graphics Inc., meet deadlines and ship papers out week after week. * —• •• • I 2- i * * fc. r-"' : aT i* r* - 03 » tf*5* - Community invited to Middleville TOPS 546 learn more about trip 4 -• .

Jefferson St. in Hastings. o “1 can still smell it. It had a sound, and it was fun. It's still fun today to start with blank sheets of paper and come up with a final product. Then, the next week, you do it all over again. . “Once you start in the business, there is no going back," he says. As a grade-school student at St. Rose School, Jacobs was already on his career path, rising at 5 a.m. each Tuesday to count papers for bundling and delivery to the post office. After high school graduation, he got his first paycheck. “Oh, we always got paid,” he laughs, “they just called it ‘allowance’ up until then.” The rugged work ethic instilled into John and his siblings, Joyce, now 73, Fred, 65, and the late Steven, who died in 2013 at'age 66, served as preparation for future success. After spend­ ing the five years following graduation from Kendall helping the family build The • Jacobs - - was given ‘ Reminder, the opportunity to purchase the Marshall Advisor following the sudden death of its publisher, Ed Lincoln. “I must have been 20 or 21 years old,” he marvels, today. “I borrowed $25,000 from Don Fisher and the other $20,000 from the bank. I never had even gone into the newspaper's office.

After the suggestion made several months ago by Yankee Springs Township Supervisor Mark Englerth that dredgingK-A the Island Drive channel be part of the Cuddy Intercounty Drain project got torpedoed on Nov. 7 by the Cuddy Intercounty Intercounty Drain Drain Board, Board, Englerth came up with another saving idea idea for for anothercost cost saving residents. residents. Because one of the larger costs of dredging is the mobilization of equipment, K-.some savings could be incurred if the Island Drive channel is dredged when the Cuddy Drain project is near- by. Rather than adding to the costs of the larger drain project, the Island Drive channel channel dredging dredging could assume its ow n costs by pig­ gybacking them onto the work agenda when the equipment is nearby.

The program assists fann­ ers to comply with state and federal environmental regulations and with Right to Farm practices. The local MAEAP program is coordinated nated by the Ionia the Conservation District and covers Ionia and Barry Counties. I am pleased to announce (hat Tom Otto Turkey Farms has taken the steps necessary to become an environmental­ ly verified operation, operation. ” said MDARD Director Jamie Clover Adams. “Michigan is leading the way nationwide jn effective stewardship practices with the voluntary, incentive-based MAEAP program. This continued effort shows agricultural pro­ ducers long-term commit41 ment to protecting the envi­ ronment while maintaining economic success. MAEAP is a collaborative effort of fanners, MDARD. Michigan Farm Bureau, commodity organizations, universities, conservation districts, conservation and environmental groups and state and federal agencies. More than 100 local coordi­ nators and technical service providers are available to assist farmers as they move through the MAEAP process toward verification. An aver­ age of 5,000 Michigan farm­ ers attend educational pro­ grams annually; 10.000 Michigan farms have started the verification process; and there have been more than 2,500 verifications to date. To become MAEAP veri­ fied, farmers must complete three comprehensive steps which include attending an educational seminar, con­ ducting a thorough on-farm risk assessment, and devel­ oping and implementing an action plan addressing poten­ tial environmental risks. MDARD conducts an on- farm inspection to verify program requirements relat­ ed to applicable state and federal environmental regu­ lations, Michigan Right to Farm guidelines, and adher­ ence to an action plan. When completed, the producer receives a certificate of envi­ ronmental assurance. To remain a MAEAP verified farm, inspections must be conducted every three years and action steps must be fol­ lowed. MAEAP is a multi-year program allowing producers to meet personal objectives, while best managing both time and resources. The pro­ gram encompasses three sys­ tems designed to help pro­ ducers evaluate the environ­ mental risks of their opera­ tion. Each system — livestock, farmstead, and cropping — examines a different aspect of a farm, as each has a different environmental impact. By participating in all three systems, producers can comprehensively evalu­ ate their entire farming oper­ ation for potential environ­ mental risks.

And every band that per­ forms the music called “Mid­ American Sketches” will see the Thornapple Kellogg Symphonic Band name at the top of each score and every part. Oh my gosh. This is awe­ some. I’ve been waiting for this for five years,” said Thornapple Kellogg High School band director Ray Rickert, unable to hide his enthusiasm about the news. The piece was first played by the TK band in November 2010 during the first concert in the new auditorium. And the public will get a chance to hear the piece again at a concert by the high school band Monday, Nov. 24. The 55-member symphonic band will perform the commis­ sioned piece at the concert that starts at 7 p.m. The evening also will feature per­ formances by the concert band and the public is invited to attend. The high school band commissioned a piece of music by composer Ryan Nowlin for the opening of the new high school auditori­ um five years ago. Nowlin is now the staff arranger for the United States Marine Band and wrote “Mid-American Sketches” for Thornapple Kellogg High School. The music will be in Kjos Music's spring catalog and available for bands world­ wide to purchase and per­ form. “Every band that performs this piece will know who we are and what we are about here in Middleville,” said Rickert. “It's just awesome for us to get the TK name out there?’ Rickert said it's not 44 .J . ii B to ■to teiri I] *w»***! & DdW1 ■ * r ii rt'! ; ft 44 unusual unusual for for high high schools schools to to have pieces pieces commissioned commissioned in in have honor of of special special events events or or honor special people.

And now that we’re entering the holiday season, charita­ ble giving well may be on your mind. Your key motiva­ tion for making charitable gifts, of course, is to help those organizations whose work is meaningful to you. However, by supporting these groups, you can also make life less “taxing” for yourself. * Specifically, by making charitable contributions, you may be able to receive some valuable tax breaks. To claim a deduction, though, you need to itemize your taxes, and you need to make sure that the organization you’re supporting is qualified, from a tax-deductibility stand­ point. If you’re unsure whether a group is qualified, just ask to see its letter from the IRS. (Many organiza­ tions now post these letters on their websites.) Ilcic’jj liuw the chai liable tax deduction works: If you give $200 to a qualified char­ ity, and you’re in the 25% tax bracket, you can deduct $200, with a tax benefit of $50, when you file your 2014 taxes. Consequently, the net “cost” of your donation is just $150 ($200 minus the $50 tax savings).

(This figure is determined by an IRS formula.) Upon your death, the trust would relinquish the remaining assets to the charitable organization you've named. This type of trust can be complex, so to create one, you’ll need to work with your tax and legal advisors. While the tax benefits .associated with charitable giving are significant, they should not, ultimately, drive your gifting decisions. You should also consider the effect your gift will have on the other areas of your estate considerations so make sure you communicate your plans to your family mem­ bers. In any case, though, be as generous as you can this holiday season and in the years to come. Your generosity will be a rewarding experi­ ence — for everyone. This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor. Edward Jones, its employees and financial advisors are not estate planners and can­ not provide tax or legal advice. You should consult your attorney or qualified tax advisor regarding your situation. fined to making cash gifts. In fact, if you donate certain types of noncash assets, you may be able to increase your tax benefits. Suppose you give $1,000 worth of stock in ABC Company to a charita­ ble group. If you’re in the 25% bracket, you'll be able to deduct $250 when you file your taxes. And by donating the ABC stock, you can avoid paying the capital gains taxes that would be due if you had eventually sold the stock yourself. Keep in mind that if you want to deduct your contributions for the 2014 tax year, you’ll need to make your gifts by Dec. 31. One more reminder: Retain your paper­ work. If you made gifts total­ ing over $250 to any single charity — or noncash contributions of any items worth the IRS over $500 requires written acknowledgments for your contributions, If you want to take a longer-term approach to charitable giving, while incorporating your gifts in planning for your estate, you might want to consider establishing a charitable remainder trust. Under this arrangement, you’d place some assets, such as stocks or real estate, into a trust, which could then use these assets to pay you a lifetime income stream.

It just kind of took off from there.” In small groups, the stu­ dents visited six different family-owned farms and learned about the diverse from products offered turkeys and chickens, to pork, beef, lambs, goats and an array of vegetables grown in gardens.

October 22, 2014 Special Board meeting called to order at 9:00am. Four board members were present, one absent. Meeting was called to approve snow plowing and other busi­ ness. Approved repair of ramp with Ayers Basement Systems for $750.00. Approved Skyline Gutter Systems to plow parking lot for 2014-15 winter. Meeting adjourned at 9:35 a.m. Submitted by Carol Ergang, Clerk Attested to by ^^^^g^Supen/isor The complete transcript of the minutes may be viewed on www.irvingtownship.org. 06855367 she didn't want the farm to be a business — she wanted it to be a hobby. Kathy and her dog take care of most of the farm. Her employees are the animals the goats make the milk for soap, the chickens eat all the bugs from the soil so it doesn’t kill the plants and the dog guards the animals and keeps them safe.” Not only were the farm a experi­ visits eye-opening & ences for many students who have little or no knowledge of farm life, but the visits also incorporated many dif- ferent educational skills for the students. “They had to organize information, ask questions at the farm, listen while they toured the farms, and then write an informational piece about their visit,” explained Keizer. “I wanted to do something that would get the kids excited about where they come from and their community. I wanted them to realize how many people are affected in our area by agriculture. The U.N.’ defines family farms as those managed and operated by a family with the family providing most of the farm's labor. The U.N. esti­ mates 500 million family farms exist around the world, representing up to 80 percent of all farms in many coun­ tries. Under the United States Department of Agriculture Economic Research Services definition, family farms rep­ resent 97.6 percent of all U.S. farms and are responsihie for 85 percent of U.S. farm production. The National Agricultural o Statistics Service’s 2007 Census of Agriculture showed there are 2.2 million farms in the United States. “Small farming networks certainly make an impact on our small town of Middleville, and it is neces­ sary for students to realize that farming is an important part of our community," said Keizer.

Sometimes it’s an easy call, Tuesday was easy. Wednesday was more difficult. Obviously, my main concern is for the safety of all our kids. That is first and foremost. If we have to extend the school year, then I would rather do that than have someone get hurt trying to get to school on a snowy day.” Enslen added that he has 1—' LOTS OF FRESH TRADE-INS! *9 41 LOW PAYMENTS!

Closing and delay notifi­ cations are sent to families within the district by e-mail and also to all local televi­ sion and radio stations.

He reminded parents they should have a plan in place in case an emergency release early release occurs, Occasionally, high school and middle school students are released a few minutes early to give the bus drivers a little extra time to make the routes and get back in time to pick up elementary students at the end of their day. to weigh the risks of having school open with someone getting hurt trying to get to school. Closing or delay decisions need to be made as early as possible. Enslen said he likes to have the call made between 5 and 5:30 a.m., giving families time to make necessary arrangements in their schedules and also because Kent Career Technical Center students begin arriving at the high school by 5:30 a.m. “People will complain sometimes about the deci­ sions and I’m OK with that,” said Enslen. “It’s easy to crit­ icize, but this is a decision I don’t take lightly.

Now the village has recov­ ered financially from the sit­ uation and. officials say, it makes more sense to have two people in the positions rather than one person trying z to do both jobs.

Thornapple Kellogg’s Lee Elementary School has been in the top 10 schools in the state of Michigan for Jump Rope for Heart for 18 years, top school in Michigan four times and in the top five for the past 11 years. A large banner inscribed, “Thank you Mrs. Desy for being the heart of Lee Elementary,” hangs in the school signifying her accom­ plishments. The Jump Rope for Heart event has become not just a lesson for Desy’s students, but has much per­ sonal meaning for Desy with family members having suf­ fered from heart disease. Desy doesn't hide her emotions during the annual February event and is always impressed -with the support from the students, families and community. Lee Principal Dr. Angie Jefferson said Desy goes above and beyond the call of duty. “JoAnne embodies great spirit, teaching skill, a driven personality, and notable work ethic,” said Jefferson in her recommendation letter to the MAHPERD. “JoAnne is an excellent physical educa­ tion teacher and I am extremely impressed with her pedagogy, vision and hard work. Jefferson noted Desy’s accomplishments while at Lee Elementary School. Desy led a successful grant Desy led a successful grant process to install an outdoor running track at the school, continues to lead Jump Rope for Heart events at the school and has raised more than $350,000 through Jump Rope for Heart.

Desy said she greatly appreciates the honor and enjoys teaching young stu­ dents. “Hopefully they will have healthy, active lives,” she said. “I feel like I am teach­ ing them skills that will last them their lifetime.” V Serving 1 the Community for over __ 40 years! — MANAGER, continued from page 1 In addition to her leadership roles at Lee, Desy has also presented at the MAHPERD conference several times and written articles for the MAHPERD Journal and the American Heart Association Pulse. Desy earned her _bachelor's degree from Central Michigan University and a master’s degree from Eastern Michigan University. In addition to her obvious commitment to the Jump Rope for Heart campaign, Desy has also successfully designed and implemented a roller skating unit, a snow­ shoe unit and a before-school jump start program at Lee. “She provides a positive role model for her students epitomizing personal health and fitness, enjoyment of activity, sportsmanship, and is sensitive to her student's needs,” says the two-page information piece about Desy in the 2014 MAHPERD awards ceremony program. “She ‘walks the talk’ for physical education by working out at the local fitness ness center, center, extensive extensive golfgolfing and healthy eating. She has high expectations and models sportsmanship within her classroom. Desy said the MAHPERD award is simply the best. “This is the one every ele­ mentary physical education teacher in the state would like to get. I'm so honored,” she said.

The village millage rate is proposed to stay the same at 12.5 mills. Water and sewer • rates will change slightly. The sewer rates are expected to go from $3.23 per 1,000 gallons to $3.31 in 2015. The sewer rate debt will drop, however, from $45.48 per quarter to $40.48 per quarter. The water rate will increase from $1.71 per 1,000 gallons to $1.75 with the readiness-to-serve fees increasing from $10.30 per quarter to $13.12 per quarter and the debt service from $12.58 per quarter to $13.58 per quarter, The budget estimates total revenues in the general fund of $1,406 million with total expenditures of $1,405 million leaving a total fund balance of $137,000. “It is a balanced budget with a small amount of balance left over,” said Weeks, ““It's It’s fairly fairly consistent consistent with with the budget the last couple of years. It’s bare necessities with a few improvements along with the grants for the projects we re working on.” There were no public comments on the budget. It will next be considered for adoption by the council at its Dec. 16 meeting. In other matters: • Diana Newman, Barry County Animal Shelter director, updated the village council on activities. She said the shelter has two main goals: to increase adoptions and to decrease the number of euthanasia events.

They're unique. Each one is slightly different, just like every child is slightly differ­ ent,” said Schipper who tra­ ditionally gives a handmade wooden gavel to each child adopted in his court as some­ thing the children can keep to remember their special day. In the past, the gavels have come from within his own family — made by his lather, Earl, who adopted Mike and his siblings. Later, Mike also adopted a son and doesn't make any apologies for his emotions when deal­ ing with adoptions. Schipper said giving the gavels was his family's way of giving something back. Earl Schipper died earlier and Judge this year, Schipper had only a couple of gavels left. He said he somehow wanted to continue offering adoption families something meaningful. “1 wasn’t sure what I was going to do. Then a gentle­ man I didn't know well at all, w4 Barry County District Court Judge Michael Schipper of Middleville discusses the importance of adoption and the impact on a child’s life. asked if he could help make gavels for me. This is one of the reasons why I love living in Barry County. It’s a spe­ cial place to live with special people,” said Schipper. “This is the kind of thing that happens here, but it doesn't happen everywhere." Dr. Bard Bloom, a retired Hastings optometrist, heard of Schipper’s story about the gavels and learned of Schipper's commitment to adoptions. A hobby wood­ worker, Bloom offered to * I Uba &&& I r*? step in and make gavels to continue Schipper’s tradi­ tion. It’s just a most touching and wonderful story he told, said Bloom of Schipper’s commitment to the adop­ tions. “I just wanted to help keep it going if I could. I do a little bit of woodworking as a hobby. Bard and his wife, Nancy, sat in the back of the courtroom as Schipper paused fre­ quently to keep his emotions in check while talking about adoption day and gifts given to the adopted children. “Of all the things he’s made, this is really the most said Nancy rewarding Bloom of her husband's work. “It's just so heart­ warming and so heartfelt." Schipper’s courtroom was filled Friday afternoon with court employees, and fami­ lies with their adopted chil­ dren, all taking part in the celebration of Michigan's Adoption Day. Schipper admitted the day is always an emotional one for him, and even more so this year with his own father’s death. “I used to apologize, but I’m not going to any more. I'm thankful I have so many things in my life 1 can be that about,"” emotional about, said Schipper as he talked about ll 99 95 99 5 sjMinat ll I TO TiteiM with®r r a ft hjlnE ▼1 1*5 hi tai • * a ft ■ a r i**s$ i* y*<!2 w1' B" Barry County District Court Judge Michael Schipper (left) talks with Dr. Bard Bloom after the adoption day ceremony.

Michigan’s Adoption Day and and the the impact impact adoptions adoptions make on so many lives. Michigan's Adoption Day started 12 years ago. This year, it was formally recog­ nized as Nov. 25, but celebrated throughout the month of November. Statewide, several judges make time to host a special celebration of adoptions and more than 100 adoptions will be finalized throughout the state. “The whole reason it was started was to bring attention to the fact there are thou­ sands of kids in foster care looking for forever homes, said Schipper. According to Michigan Adoption Facts, as of Sept. 30, nearly 12,800 children are in the state's foster care system and there are more than 2,500 children whose parents' rights have been ter­ minated and have a goal of adoption. In 2014, more than 2,160 children have been adopted in iviicmgan. Michigan. Historical trends indicate than on aver­ age 32 percent of children were adopted by their foster parents, 29 percent of chil99 dren were adopted by relatives, and 39 percent of children were adopted by a recruited family. In Schipper’s courtroom, no adoptions were formal­ ized Friday, but several fam­ ilies with adopted children were honored and recog­ nized. Families were invited to enjoy refreshments after the ceremony and each adopted child was able to take home some special gifts — teddy bears, balloons, col­ oring books and the wooden gavels. & “There are a lot of kids who need to be adopted, said Schipper. “They need forever families like I got."

He spoke from his heart during the brief ceremony. “Adoption is about open­ ing your heart and your home to a young person — a child who needs you." Schipper said he likes being able to handle adop­ tions in his court even though typically it w'ould be a duty given to the probate court. He said when Judge William Doherty learned Schipper was adopted him­ self, he asked if Schipper would like to handle those duties. I like to do these. It's one of the only times everyone leaves my courtroom happy.” said Schipper. Schipper said family is so important to him. “Family is so much more than the person who gave birth to you. For me it's been coaches and teachers and friends who have cared about me and helped me along the way. It's people like Bard Bloom, who I consider part of my family now. It’s being a special person in some­ one's life.” Michigan Adoption Day is co-sponsored each year by the Michigan Supreme Court, Michigan Department of Human Services, the Child Welfare Services divi­ sion of the State Court Administrative Office, and Michigan Adoption Resource Exchange.

The Junior FLL teams competed in the Think Tank Challenge with 26,000 stu­ dents from 14 countries. They picked a research topic and took a closer look at where and how learning hap­ pens every day. Then they built a model out of Legos to represent their topic of research. The model had to include a working motor and also a simple machine-of gears. 4 , TK’s third grade team, the Lego Legends, received the ■a. LEG Picasso Award for its cre­ ativity.

Brophy, a Thornapple Kellogg High School senior and member of Dorr Boy Scout Troop 90, built a 32foot wooden train for the preschool at the church. It's complete with an engine, two cars and a caboose just the right size for youngsters to play in, on, and around. “I think I did a good job says Brophy from his home in Dorr. “It makes me feel accomplished and proud. Brophy has been involved with Cub Scout and Boy L h 11 I I I t Bj % }V I h \, i 1 ’li 55 5 < 44 55 , ex * ’ Scouts for about 10 years. “It’s all quite fun,” relates Brophy. “1 enjoy most all of being in Boy Scouts and the camaraderie of Boy Scouts. Brophy is the son of Cristi and Jim Brophy. He says the train project was recom­ mended to him by a member of the church. Initially, he thought it was just going to be the train engine. “It was a big project,” Cristi sights. “At first, we weren't sure he could do it all, but he’s always been one that if he sets a goal, he completes it." To complete the project Brophy first had to raise nearly $1,300 to cover costs of the treated lumber and materials needed. A pancake breakfast, pop can drive, scrap metal drive and dona­ tions helped him reach that 44 1 goal. goal. Then Then he he spent spent two two weekends weekends with with volunteer volunteer Scouts Scouts overseeing overseeing construeconstruc­ tion tion of ofthe the train, train, sanding sanding the the pieces, and a final weekend for delivery. “It all went pretty smooth­ ly," reports Brophy. “I know a lot more about wood building now J’ To earn his Eagle rank o Brophy had to manage the entire project and the nearly 20 volunteers, but was not supposed to help with the actual construction. That was the hardest part," he recalls, “because I wanted to help with the work.” ' The Eagle is the highest e> rank in Boy Scouting and must be achieved by the time a Scout reaches the age of 18. To earn the rank of Eagle, a Boy Scout must 9 44 55 earn at least 21 merit badges. including 13 specific merit badges. He must advance through the ranks of Boy Scouts by holding offices within the troop, be active in the troop, and demonstrate the Scout Oath and Scout Law in daily life. Additionally, Eagle scouts must plan, prepare and lead a project that will benefit the community. Brophy says his favorite merit badge earned was probably his life saving badge. In order to obtain it, he he had had to to throw throw aa weighted weighted dummy into the lake, then dive down and rescue it. It was like dragging up a body," smiles Brophy, “only it wasn't kicking and thrashing.” He’s also enjoyed attend­ ing various campouts includ44 Cordy Brophy reviews plans before beginning the train construction project. ing the yearly summer Camp Gerber. Brophy says he's undecid­ ed about his educational future after graduation, but said he's considering differ­ ent colleges where he may study psychology or neuro­ science. . Cristi said she's very proud of her son and what he's been able to accom­ plish. In addition to being in Boy Scouts, Brophy was a member of the TK/Hastings swim team and now is employed at Meijer. He is a member of the Order of the Arrow, which is a special honor group of Boy Scouts, is a member of the TK National Honor Society and 5 an executive producer for the TKTV news. “We're beyond proud of him," says his mother. “It's a huge honor and accomplish­ ment to get to this point." Nationally, estimates are that only about 2 percent of all youths entering Scouts achieve the Eagle rank. Some notable Eagle Scouts include Gerald R. Ford, 38th president of the United States; Steven Spielberg, film director; Neil Armstrong, astronaut, the first person to set foot on the moon, and Robert Gates, 22nd U.S. Secretary of Defense and current President of the Boy Scouts of America. - ■■■Ewgrrin. i.tar Iststonoft si hs a:i’ll8®^5011 : ,-a ni at i * d£’ to’ F J I F F r A J? ■■■ •; 5: 00- 0:00pm 6: 00-9:00pm ■K ABA' : ■■ ^6' SATURDAY DECEMBER 6TH FRIDAY DECEMBER 5TH Holiday Shopping Downtown 2pm Photos with Santa at the library after the Parade Free Victorian Horse-Drawn Carriage Rides Visit with Santa At Dick s Harber Shop Free Holly Trolley Rides Sponsored by Grace Lutheran Church Hastings Rotary Club Christmas Parade 3-5pm Free Holly Trolley Rides Sponsored by Hastings City Bank �Page 8/The Sun and News, Saturday, November 29, 2014 . * Trojans fill most spots on All-Barry County teams Ki Al* Football Ends & Receivers season.

Along with adopting the budget, the council is also expected to set the millage rates for {he upcoming year as well as water and sewer rates.

Today, the reality has a proven track record, and a year of helping more than 120 children in cases of sex­ ual and physical abuse. It’s been even busier than organ­ izers thought it would be and has gained overwhelming community support. “I’m really very excited,” said Barry County Prosecuting Attorney Julie Nakfoor-Pratt. “The greatest thing is that it has created a stronger and more cohesive way of investigating child sexual abuse and abuse cases.” ' A nonprofit organization, Safe Harbor is a place where child abuse victims can feel more comfortable and at ease when sharing accounts of abusive situations. It’s a collaborative effort with police, that county, and saw first­ hand the benefits of such a facility. She worked with Allegan County officials to start a satellite office of Safe Harbor in Hastings. “It pulls all parties togeth­ er,” said Nakfoor-Pratt. “Safe Harbor will follow up with families and be able to make sure families know of services they can get even if the case doesn’t end up in any charges.” During the first year. Safe Harbor in Barry County has helped 120 young victims of neglect or* abuse, said Antkoviak That's even more than the 100 cases they antic­ ipated when the doors were opened. “We’re very thankful on how well it’s gone,” she said. “It’s been busier than we anticipated, but we're excit­ ed and happy to be able to extend services to the children. And the community has been very supportive." The office started with help from a $23,000 grant Child Protective Services and the courts. To celebrate its first year, Barry County's Safe Harbor will host an anniversary cel­ ebration from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 10, at the Leason Sharpe Hall, 231 S. Broadway, Hastings. The community is invited to attend and should call 269­ 673-3791 to give organizers an idea on how many people will be attending. During the anniversary celebration, Lori Antkoviak, executive director for Safe Harbor in Allegan County and the satellite office in Barry County, said a special announcement will be made about the future of the Barry County site and the sustainability of the office. Safe Harbor came about after Nakfoor-Pratt made a campaign promise to try to establish such a facility in the county.

Safe Harbor can help coordinate counseling, medical attention and other serv­ ices as needed. Staff also will work closely with coun­ ty agencies to help families with other n^eds. Nakfoor-Pratt said the center also has created an avenue to bring more discussion about child abuse. More cases are being reported and she said she and others have made efforts to get out and talk to schools and other groups groups about mandated reporting regulations. k I 1 I w I. ’ I* urtj HARVEST, continued from page 1 TKHS Jazz Band to perform at Grand Rapids Drive game 0 ssi!« ^0 11 The Thornapple Kellogg High School Jazz Band will perform Dec. 20 for the newest team in the NBA DLeague, the Grand Rapids Drive. performing at 6 p.m. on the concourse at the DeltaPlex in Grand Rapids for the full hour before the game's tipoff against the Fort Wayne Mad Ants at 7 p.m. The new basketball team is an affiliate of the Detroit Pistons and is having its first season in Grand Rapids this year.

Departments and administra­ tors are carefully weighing the pros and cons for their officers and the public. Hastings police officers may soon be equipped with body cameras, while Barry County Sheriff's deputies and Michigan State Police troopers have no immediate plans for the additional equipment. Hastings Police Chief Jeff Pratt said he sees the cam­ eras as another tool for offi­ cers to use to protect them­ selves. He’s been testing dif­ ferent devices and looking into the cameras since the spring and said he hopes to make a decision by the end of the year on which cameras to purchase. Pratt makes it clear he thinks the body cameras will offer protection for his offi­ cers. “It’s not because I don’t trust my guys. I want them [the cameras] to help protect the officers,” he said. “Everybody has a camera these days. They are out there filming our officers and different actions. This will give our officers protection and record what actually happens from their view­ point,” said Pratt. ' Pratt admitted there are concerns with the cameras and filming. Some of the cameras are bulky, clipping to a jacket or tie on the uni­ form. They must be activated by a push of a button or a slide of a front panel. Officers could forget to turn the cameras on in heightened situations, or the cameras could get jostled loose or accidentally shut off during a scuffle. The cameras also don't offer a comprehensive view* of the entire scene, only what's most directly in front of the officer. And of course there are questions about when the cameras should be activated, how long the recordings will be kept, and where all the data will be stored. Not to mention the cost of the additional equip­ ment, ranging from $150 to more than $800. Still, Pratt said he believes the cameras will become a useful tool and provide one more piece of evidence for —- ■ _____ the officers. He said body cameras are similar to the in­ car video recorders. Once debated for usefulness, in­ car video cameras have become a fairly standard item for most police agen­ cies. Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf said he’s not ready to jump on the bandwagon and purchase body cameras, -“I'm not going to rush into it right now. I want to wait and see what they come out with and see how the body cameras actually work for officers,” said Leaf. Leaf also said he has com­ plete trust in his officers. “If I can’t trust them and what they say, then I would­ n't have them on my department,” he said, Leaf also brought up addi­ tional concerns about how the cameras will respond when officers are chasing after suspects, picture quality and how the battery life will hold up, especially durin &o Michigan’s cold winters. He admits they might pro­ vide more evidence that could help shorten some cases in court, but said there will also be a cost for that. In addition to the cost of the cameras themselves, Leaf said his technology specialist said it could cost thousands to properly store the footage, Leaf said he’s also con­ cerned that the cameras won't capture complete images of the scene. He said officers are trained to stand at an angle when talking with suspects and position their bodies in certain ways even when making traffic stops. Those angles, he said, might not allow body cameras to capture the actions taking place around the officer. He said a better camera design might be something much smaller that fits on an ear piece worn by the officer. The camera then, he said, would capture images of what the officer sees, He said the real issue is that people in the community have to trust the officers who work in the community. “That's what it really boils down to,” he said, Pratt agrees trust in the community is important, 44 That's why I've been focusing on community­ policing efforts and getting officers out in the public even more,” said Pratt, who took over as chief of the department in April. % Departments around the country are having the same debates about the body cam­ eras. In Grand Rapids, a citi­ zens group asked the city commission to purchase body cameras for officers even though the Grand Rapids Police Chief said he wasn't sure he was ready to make that decision yet. President Barack Obama announced Monday he wants to see more police wearing cameras that may record actual events in such cases as the Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson, Mo. Obama is proposing $263 million in spendin oa over three years to increase use of body cameras and expand police training. The plan calls for $75 million to help pay for 50,000 lapel-mount­ ed body-style cameras for officers. The New York department will police become the largest department in the country to adopt the technology when it launches body cameras to officers in September 2015. According to a story from the Associaiea me Associated Press, rress, a report from the U.S. Justice Department found evidence that both police and civilians Hastings Police Chief Jeff Pratt has one body camera sitting on his desk while another is clipped to his tie. Pratt has been testing different types of body cameras since April and hopes to make a decision before the end of the year, behave better when they know cameras are around. The AP story reported a recent Cambridge University study with the police depart­ ment in Rialto, Calif., seeing an 89 percent decline in the of complaints number against officers in a year­ long trial using the cameras, The number of times the police used force against sus­ pects also declined.

I IB*5 Fl 4T 4• A ,p Check out this year-end financial checklis t As 2014 draws to a close. you may want to look back on the progress you've made this past year in various areas of your life — and that certainly includes progress toward your financial goals, At the same time, you may want to make some end-ofyear moves that can close out 2014 on a positive note while paving the way for a produc­ tive 2015. Here are a few such moves to consider: • Boost your retirement plan contributions. This 44 actually isn’t an ‘end-ofyear" move because you have until April 15, 2015, to contribute to your Roth or Traditional IRA for the 2014 tax year. Nonetheless, the sooner you get extra dollars working for you in your IRA the better. You can put in up to $5,500 to your IRA (or $6,500 if you’re 50 or older) for 2014. If you are selfemployed, or run a small business, you also have until April 15 to contribute to a retirement account, such as a SEP IRA or a SIMPLE plan. In addition to helping you build resources for retire­ ment, these types of plans can offer you some tax advantages — so if you haven’t established a retire­ ment plan yet, consult with your financial and tax pro- fessionals • Sell your 'TosersT If you own investments that have lost value since you pur­ chased them, you can sell them before 2014 ends and use the tax loss to offset some capital gains you may have earned in other investments. It you don t have any capital gains, you can use up to $3,000 of your tax losses to offset other ordinary income. And for a loss greater than $3,000, you can “carry over" the excess and deduct it from your taxes in future years. If you still liked the investment that you sold at a loss, and you want to keep it in your portfolio, you could repurchase it, but you'll have to wait 31 days to avoid violating the IRS' “wash sale" rules. Keep in mind that these suggestions only apply to investments held outside your employer­ sponsored retirement account; you can’t take a tax deduction on capital losses in a 401(k) or similar plan. • Evaluate your 401(k) investment mix. You may be able to adjust the investment mix in your 401(k) as often as you like. So when evaluating your 401(k), make sure your holdings aren’t concen­ trated in just a few invest­ ments, and try to determine if your portfolio is still appro1 priate for your risk tolerance — not too aggressive or too conservative. Also, if your plan offers a “Roth" option, consider taking advantage of it — with a Roth, you won't be able to deduct your 401 (k) contributions from your taxes, but once you retire, you won’t be taxed on your withdrawals. •. Review your insurance coverage. If you’ve experi­ enced any changes in your life in 2014 — new spouse, new child, divorce, new job, etc.. — you may need to review your life insurance coverage to make sure that it's still sufficient for your needs and that you have the correct beneficiaries in place. By making these and other moves, you can say a fond farewell to 2014, knowing that you've done what you could to help bolster your financial position for 2015 and beyond.

The goals for the boys are to win the conference once again and to qualify for the state finals this season as a team. Webster said his guys have a shot at one of the top three spots at their regional meet which will be held at Schuss Mountain this season. 11 “We need to do some training on steeper slopes,” Webster said.

Fedewa does the little things well and the Scots will rely on him and junior center Jake Babb in the post. Coach Bloemers said his 41 team lacks a “true" center, and being a bit undersized could hurt at times in the OK White Conference. Babb is one of the key varsity newcomers along with sophomore guard Jesse Hillis, senior guard Alex Ruddock and senior forward Mitch Horgan. Horgan and Ruddock return to the line­ up after first joining the var­ sity during their sophomore seasons. Horgan was injured during his junior season and Ruddock took the season off from basketball last year. Bloemers said Horgan is a good perimeter shooter who is also physical around the basket. The Scot coach likes the basketball IQ of both Ruddock and Hillis. The Scot goals an? much the same as every season, focused as much on becom­ ing better basketball players as on results. “We have a very competi­ tive group of athletes that will get better every day in practice because they work very hard to challenge each other and there is a high level of accountability that our players demand of each other," Bloemers said. The Scots open their sea­ son Friday at Byron Center. The boys play the first game of their double header with the girls' on opening night, and will do so during all their Friday night match-ups throughout the season in the OK White. The conference will be a very competitive one again, with solid squads returning for Forest Hills Central and Grand Rapids C hristian, The league season begins Jan. 9 when the Scots host Forest Hills Central.

A big part of that this winter will be pushing the team toward performing back tucks. With nine seniors, a few returning juniors, a very' tal­ ented sophomore class and one freshman Smith is hoping her girls can get there. I'he group of seniors is led by four four-year varsity per­ formers. That group includes Makenzie Fridley, the learn MVP from a year ago who earned all-conference and alldistrict honors last year as well as academic all-state. Alaina Wisdom and Ashley Miller were also all-conference athletes last year, and Wisdom joined Fridley as an academic all-state honoree, Courtney Maier returns for her fourth varsity season too. The rest of the returning senior group includes Alison Cowham, K y ra Kyra Tolan, Maddie VanderHart and Jada Cheeks. Senior exchange-student Cariota Cunha joins the program this winter too. Other returnees include juniors Alex Raden. Ashley Ostrowski and Eriona Achterhof and sophomores Jordan Knoertzer, Natalie Courtney and JaBaay Bushart. Smith said a key to the season will be how well her talented sophomore group does w hile it gains experience on the mat. There isn't a lot of time to gain experience before the OK Bronze White Conference season begins, The Scots will host the first league meet Dec. 17. The competition will be tough at the top of the standings, with Jenison and Forest Hills Central bringing precise teams to the floor again. The Scots were third in the conference a year ago, and moving up won't be easy. ing youth leagues at Spectrum Lanes together, Bottrall said. “They are very familiar with each other and make great new teammates to the other girls on the team. This group of girls is moti­ vated to do something spe­ cial this season." They'll be doing their thing on a new set of home lanes this winter, at Spectrum Lanes, after the demolition of the Middle Villa Lanes. They'll be at Spectrum for their season opener, competing in the Wyoming Invite. “Our girls need to stay focused and trust them­ selves, to know that they can compete with any girls team in our conference and in the area," Bottrall said. Their top competition in the conference will come from Jenison and Forest Hills Central. The Scots head Hudsonville Lanes for the Jenison Bowling tournament Jan. 10. then will open the OK White Conference sea­ son at Eastbrook Lanes against Forest Hills Central Jan. 19. “Our girls are motivated and ready to prove that last year's success was just a step in the right direction of our goal of a run at state.

TK head coach Jessee Bays is excited as he enters his fifth season leading the program. . . ' “This team will be deeper than teams of years past. Our starting line-up could change based upon what we want to do defensively,” said Bays. “Several players have the ability to lead us in scoring on any given night. Upcoming JV players fin­ ished (last) season 15-4 and beat . Wayland, South Christian and Catholic Central. They believe that they can make a difference this season and I believe they will.” There are eight girls up from that JV team, and Bays said that this will be the youngest team he's had since taking over the program. We are going to need our younger players to adjust quickly to the changing speeds of the varsity °ame '" Bays said.

The Trojans added Northview and Forest Hills Central to the non-conference slate this season, and head coach Mike Rynearson hopes that will help is team prepare for a tough Class A District. He thinks his guys should be able to compete for district and conference titles. There are a bunch of sen­ iors with a lot of varsity expe­ rience ready to make a run at some trophies. The group includes three-year varsity starters Tommy Hamilton, Clay Francisco and. Cole Cronkright. Hamilton is a senior point guard who earned all-confer­ ence honors in the OK Gold last winter. Francisco returns at forward after being an honorable mention all-conference selection last year, Cronkright returns at center. Also back are senior guard Conor Leach and junior guard Jackson Bronkema, both set for their second varsity seasons. Rynearson said he has guards who can shoot, drive and play aggressive defense. The guard group also includes junior Nic Comeau, looking to add his talents to 4W 1 z I *• Z <1 r i and a runner-up regional fin­ ish.

That turned into the Thornapple Kellogg varsity girls' basketball team's first victory of the season Friday night. TK went on a 14-2 run in the fourth quarter to knock off the Hawkeyes in Hamilton, winning 34-28.

Brandi Weslow led the Trojans with nine points, three steals and three assists. Hana Alverson had a team high five steals to go along with five points for the Trojans. Sophomore point guard Alyvia Thorne added six points including a crucial fourth quarter bucket that helped the Trojans pull away. We forced a bunch of turnovers in the first half, but just didn't capitalize on them,” said Bays. “We would turn it right back over to them or miss lay-ups on the other end. Finally in the fourth quarter, they did what they were supposed to do.” He said his girls' quickness and ability to vary the defensive looks made things tough on the Hawkeyes.

Rick Snyder The governor has offered a comprehensive plan that would raise the necessary $1.2 billion annually for local and state infrastructure repairs. About 60 percent of the revenue would go to counties, cities and villages for their roads and bridges. He reviewed the initiative with roundtable participants at the Auto Fixlt Body Shop on Ottawa Avenue in Grand Rapids after inspecting aging, deteriorating infra­ structure that required instal­ lation of temporary supports under 1-196 near Broadway Avenue. “The message from every comer of. our state is clear,” Snyder said in a press release issued Wednesday. “It's time to fix the roads, Michiganders are tired of dodging potholes, whether it’s on the highway or in their neighborhoods. They’re fed up with getting socked with auto repair bills because Lansing has ignored the problem for too long. “There’s nothing Michigan can't do, as we’ve seen these past four years. Our economic turnaround is a model for the nation. But, to achieve our full potential, we need a modem infrastructure that keeps families safe and invites investment from job creators. Let’s stop mak­ ing excuses and dragging our feet. We have a plan that’s ready to go. I am asking House members to join the Senate in approving our plan. Let’s finish the job.” The plan would result in county road commissions, cities and villages seeing an average funding increase of 73 percent by 2018. For example, over four years in West Michigan: • Kent County would see nearly $18 million more in road dollars, with $7.7 mil­ lion going to Grand Rapids. • Allegan County would receive an additional $5 mil­ lion. • Barry County would receive an additional $2.7 million. • Ionia County would receive an additional $2.7 million. . • Mecosta County would receive an additional $2.3 million. ‘ • Montcalm County would receive an additional $3.2 million, • Newaygo County would receive an additional $2.8 million. • Ottawa County would receive an additional $10 million. . Crumbling roads and e bridges have a significant impact on the state. An esti­ mated 100 lives can be saved each year if Michigan improves its infrastructure. according to a 2012 analysis by The Road Information Program. In addition, one in nine bridges across Michigan is rated as “structurally deficient,” which means their conditions show deterioration. Family budgets take a big hit as well, with poor roads causing an average of $539 in additional annual vehicle operating costs due to dam­ age, tire wear and increased fuel consumption, TRIP reports. In addition to saving lives and reducing auto repair bills, investing in the state’s roads and bridges would contribute to the creation of about 12,000 direct and indi­ rect jobs. Michigan hasn't updated its overall investment in roads since the gas tax — which currently is the primary source of revenue — was adjusted in 1997. Basic elements of the gov­ ernor’s plan that recently ,*J*>. & % Ft •i’lr < 4 were approved by the state Senate include: . (• Eliminating the _Z__ current ______ 19 cents-per-gallon gasoline tax and 15 cents-per-gallon diesel fuel tax at the pump, and instead charging a tax on gasoline wholesalers. • Increasing the wholesale tax by 2 percent each year for three years, occurring every Jan. 1. • Doubling* the fines for violations of truck weight limits and dedicating half of that revenue to the State Trunk Line Fund. “There's a time for discus­ sion and a time for action, Snyder said. “After nearly 20 years of discussion in Lansing, taxpayers deserve action. There’s no getting around it. The bill will only get bigger the longer we wait. We can pay today or pay twice as much tomor­ row. It's time for Lansing to step up so Michigan can keep moving forward.” Gov. Snyder's office has released a new video that illustrates the conditions of Michigan’s roads.

M-43 Highway, Hastings, Ml 49058 139th year Thornapple board still looking for appointments and focus by Constance ' Cheeseman Staff Writer Is anybody listening in Thomapple Township? That’s what township board members would like to know after being unable to fill vacancies on two key township committees with needed volunteers. It’s also what Treasurer Debra al norfT rfT bi£od wonJ / nn jnwo) 3b9sn Buckowing is wondering of township board members themselves who, she said at Monday’s board meeting, are not paying enough attention to her reports. “I am concerned, disap­ pointed that not more attention is being paid by all seven board members on the discussion of revenue gener­ ation," said Buckowing in chastising the board for not investing the same amount of focus, discussion and effort on revenue generation as is applied to budget spending. "Revenue generation is an uncomfortable topic and people want to shut down when it is brought up. Tax collection is our biggest rev­ enue and is the most reliable yet, when concerns are voiced about the amount of taxes being taken on by resi­ dents, it seems to be downplayed on its importance.” Buckowing's address came following remarks made by Trustee Nick Wake who raised concern with the number of services and pur­ chases elected by the township, specifically the cost increases to maintain or to purchase board approved items. "I am concerned with how money is allocated, whether there are mandates or non­ mandates to the needs of these purchases,” said Wake. “I would like to look at what we're putting money towards. Roads are a man­ date, a priority and we have been advised to tuck away money each year to save for the upcominga road needs. Where is the allocation for this? “Money being allocated to do preservation is authorized into the budget per the super­ visor.

Members of the board of education approved the refinancing Monday night as recommended by legal counsel for the district. Because of lower interest rates available now for the 2007 bonds, the market is favorable to refinancing those bonds and saving on interest payments.

He told board members in 2011-12, Page shared 30 computers for the school. Now, in 2014-15, the school is working with the district in the one-to-one initiative giving every student technology they need in every classroom. “It kind of opens a can of worms," said Gelmi of the technology. “There is so much information you can use in the classrooms, it can be difficult to decide what to use."

But then, not every meeting can carry the fun of celebrating with a retiring board member like Debra McCarty after nearly 10 years of service. Instead of tackling the budget or some other mun­ dane factual issue, Board President Mike Patterson addressed the evening’s first agenda item by praising McCarty for her service to the district, saying she had been at his right hand during his time and had done an amazing amount of work always with class and dis­ tinction.

Patterson then presented a gift of a clock with his comment that, "I am pleased to present this gift to you on behalf of the board and the district." McCarty accepted the gift to applause from the audience and then returned her Before thanks to them. returning to its meeting agenda, the board broke for cake, conversation and a chance to reminisce with McCarty. During her nine and a half years on the board, McCarty has been unfailingly gracious ” ’ and unflappable despite some very difficult moments ; None of it was what she* expected when she ran and See McCARTY, page 10 challenged to use technology to solve problems. The teams formed just after the school year started and recently competed in Grandville. In other matters: • The board congratulated Tammy Benjamin on her recent award from and induc­ tion into the Michigan Interscholastic Track Coaches Association Hall of Fame. • The board congratulated board member Kim Selleck for his 20 years of service as a board member. Selleck opted not to seek re­ election to the board this fall and Monday was his last offi­ cial meeting. • Engineers and construc­ tion teams gave an update on the 2014 bonds and projects. Bids for about $2.83 million in projects will be opened next week with hopes of starting construction this spring. The new stadium turf and track project will likely start in early May so it hopefully can be completed by the time band camp starts next summer. Work creating security vestibules for each of the the schools is expected to begin as soon as school gets out and be completed before students return in the fall.

We need to hold ourselves to a level of professionalism and consis­ tency as expected from a municipal government.” Buckowing’s lecture to board members reached even farther into levels of profes­ sionalism and consistency, especially as it regards con­ sideration of the source of funds being used for such projects as roads and preser­ vation. “A huge umbrella falls on all seven board members to address this subject and requires equal participation,” stressed Buckowing. “I put great effort and time to develop the financial report I presented last year which clearly lays out when and where revenue comes from. “As we continue to plan and to spend, we are not talking about where the money is coming from. We are seri­ ously remiss when we set budget parameters without knowing where that money is coming from. I would appreciate more listening when I try to explain things, especially when we vote on things that affect the money flowing in and out.” Board members are certainly hoping that more residents will be listening to their call for help in filling vacancies on the township’s planning commission and board of appeals.

The board of trustees moved on to discussed the adoption of a updated personnel policy, with questions posed by board members as to the consistency of it’s applications to to Thomapple Thomapple applications Township and Village of Middleville Middleville staffing. staffing. Getty Getty encouraged the board board to to encouraged the review the policy before approving, citing the differences in observed holidays and paid vacation allotments when when compared compared to to neighborneighboring municipalities. Bremer and Wake, concurred that vacation time should be cal- culated based on the totality of the number of hours of operation which, which, Wake operation noted, were less that 30 hours per week for the township. Comparisons with other municipalities showed differences in the amount of hours that staffing was avail­ able to its residents, indicat­ ing that customizing the per­ sonnel policy per staffin availability appeared rele­ vant prior to the board’s approval. The policy was tabled to be reviewed at the board’s next committee of the whole meeting on Dec. 30. Buckowing reported that the township had received the loan in conjunction with the emergency services equipment purchase bonds approved in November. The money will be strictly used to purchase EMS equipment. The board set meeting dates for its strategic facilities planning committee for Jan. 5 at 8 a.m.; its budget committee meeting on Jan. 5, between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m.; and its annual meeting with the Barry County Road Commission on Jan. 19, to be held at the township hall, Discussion was held noting that a there is the need and potential to purchase a new color copier for the township/zoning and plan­ ning departments within Thomapple government.

Board members said they think it’s an excellent idea and will work with Selleck to put details to the nomination process and consideration for honorees, Kris Selleck said she does not expect the board of edu­ cation to fund the project, but hopes there will be grantsi or community support to finance the project.

Volunteers met recently at HPS in Middleville to sort all of the supplies and then fill gift bags for more than 500 from kinderteachers garten through 12th grades in every school in Barry County. The bags come packed with essential class­ room supplies, such as hand sanitizer, facial tissue, mark­ ers, crayons and new pencils. “We need to help teachers realize how much we appre­ ciate and care what they do for our kids," said Bonnie Hildreth, president and chief executive officer of Barry Foundation, Community which created the Education Matters Network. teacher. “She said it would be nice to give teachers something to let them know we care about them," related Hildreth. “And we all know they run out of supplies through the year.” Teachers may get $50 at the beginning of the year to purchase items for their classrooms. It’s the little things you run out of in every classroom," said Hildreth. “It’s Just a simple way to say thanks." In addition to the classroom supplies, each bag con­ tains a heartfelt message from the Education Matters Network. “You Matter," is written in big letters on the front of the card. “It is with a grateful spirit that we present this gift from Education Matters Network of Barry County," 44 44 teachers feel they are impor­ tant and appreciated. You are enough," reads the message. “You have influence. You are a genius. You have a contribution to make. You have a gift that others need. You are the change. Your actions define ------’--------your impact.x/ You Matter. „ The bags were donated by Pennock Physicians Network. Some of the sup­ plies were donated from United Way and others were purchased by the Education Matters group with assisfrom HPS in tance Middleville. “It’s just to remind our teachers in all schools — they matter, added Hildreth. “We believe every teacher matters." The bags also contain another surprise for educa­ tors in an announcement of a 44 to new video contest offered only to educators in Barry County. The contest will begin Jan. 1 and end May 15, 2015, and will award up to $1,000 monthly with a total of $6,000 for the entire contest. The award may be in a single grant to one recipient or mul­ tiple grants based on the requests, The contest is open to any educator, volunteer, support staff or paraprofessional working with children from birth to 18 years old in a pro­ fessional setting, including a school or nonprofit organiza­ tion in Barry County.

Yet while the investment world may seem complex, Mr. Buffet's advice is actually pretty simple, Here are a few Buffet quotes, along with some suggestions on putting them to use: “Whether we're talking about socks or stocks, I like buying quality merchandise when it is marked down. ” Essentially, this means you should look* for good invest­ ment vehicles whose price may have dropped. A “bear” market tends to drag down many stocks even those with strong fundamentals and favor­ able prospects. These stocks might then be considered “bar­ gains.” One way to determine whether a stock is “expensive” or “cheap” is by looking at its price-to-earnings ratio (P/E). For example, if Company “A" has a share price of $20 and earnings per share of $4, then it has a P/E of 5. On the other hand, if Company “B" has the same share price of $20, but has earnings per share of $2, its P/E would be 10. So it would be considered more expensive than Company “A.” Be aware, though, that the P/E ratio works better as a measure of cost when you are comparing two Dorothy Mae Merriman----------------------------- ill "III A What can you learn from the ‘Oracle of Omaha?’ loved spending time with family. Including her husband, Dorothy was preceded in death by her son, Randolph Scottville; sisters, of Josephine Dutcher, Marie Hopkins, Bette DeGand; brothers, Russell Swart and Robert Swart. Dorothy is survived by her children, Jeff and Mary Merriman of Lake Odessa, Edward and Janet Merriman of Ludington, Tim and Judy Merriman of Caledonia, Daniel Merriman of Ludington; 10 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren; sisters, Gladys Claucherty, Nella Jean Warner; and brother -in-law, William Hopkins. In Dorothy's final weeks, she was lovingly cared for by both the kind staff at Fulton Manor's VanAndel Pavilion and Hospice of Michigan. There will not be any serv­ ices at this time. She will be cremated and a graveside service and burial of both Dorothy and David’s ashes are planned for the spring of 2015 in Caledonia. The family asks that if you would like to donate in Dorothy’s memory, please give to Hospice of Michigan. Condolences may be sent online at www.mkdfuneralhome.com. companies in the same industry. Time is the friend of the wonderful business, the enemy of the mediocre.” Be prepared to own quality stocks stocks for forthe the long long term; term; over over time, time, your your confidence confidence may may be be rewarded. On the other hand, if an investment is not of high quality, its flaws will be revealed over the years. “If investors insist on trying to time their participation in equities, they should try to be fearful when others are greedy and greedy only when others are fearful.” Trying to “time” the market — that -is, attempting to buy when prices are low and sell when prices are high — is a difficult task. Too many people do just the opposite: They try to “cut their losses" by selling when the market is down and then go after the “hot" invest­ ment whose price may already be as high as it's going to go. Mr. Buffet clearly is not in favor of a market timing approach, and those who try to do it, he says, are probably better off by going against the crowd. Keep in mind, though, that even when holding invest­ ments rather than trying to time the market, investing in equi­ ties does involve risk, including potential loss of principal. <( 44 When we own portions of outstanding businesses with outstanding managements, our favorite holding period is forever.” When should you sell good investments? Never, according to Mr. Buffet. And while this endless holding period may not be possible for all of us, you get the idea: the longer you keep a good investment, the better off you may be when you do sell. "The line separating invest­ ment and speculation, which is never bright and clear, becomes blurred still further • when most market participants have recently enjoyed tri­ umphs. Nothing sedates rationality like large doses of effortless money. ” The lesson here? Be an investor, not a speculator. A long run-up in the market can increase your wealth, but it may also make you prone to risky behavior if you think that all your investments will rise indefinitely; As an investor, you may well want to consider Mr. Buffet's ideas— after all, they've sure worked well for him.

Members of the Barry County Sheriffs Department, the Hastings City Police, Middleville Citv reserve officers and Hastings cadets partnered with young­ sters to help them pick out something special for themselves and possibly a sibling. “It’s just a great thing to do. We all just enjoy doing it for the kids, said Amber Ball, a sheriffs department corrections officer who helped organize this year’s event. Schools throughout the county nominated children to participate in the program.

Corrections officer Heidi Bustance said this is her first year with the program, but she loved it. “I like to see the smiles on their faces when they get to pick something out they want,” she said. It just brings in the whole Christmas spirit. This is fun. I was singing Christmas songs on the trolley, and we were just having a lot of fun.” Marshall Wood, a high school student in the Hastings Police Department cadet program, may have summed it up best. “It’s amazing, really,” said Wood. “I like listening to the kids talk about what they want. It makes me feel good to help them out a little.” Some of the youngsters, like Cameron, knew exactly what they wanted and head­ ed straight for their favorite. Others opted to look around awhile, pick some things out and then decide what they really wanted most. After Cameron picked out his basketball, he wandered around a little in the toy aisle, then steered himself back toward the sporting goods section where he picked out a new fishing pole. “I like to fish and my old pole broke,” he said with a smile when Barry County Sheriffs Deputy Joe Cooper helped him pick out. “I’ve never done this before, but it was a lot of fun, and I would definitely do it again next year if they want me to,” said Cooper.

Throughout the store Wednesday night, officers tagged along behind the young shoppers, filling bas­ kets and carts, and offering suggestions. And when it came time to check out, many of the officers, without hesitation, dipped into their own wallets to cover any additional costs beyond the $50. ‘ The shoppers then had the chance to enjoy cookies while workers gift wrapped their packages. For Hastings officer Joseph Booher, shopping and spending time with the kids was a rewarding experi­ ence. “It’s a great way for the kids to see and know us in a positive light," he said. “If they want me to do this again next year, I'll definitely be part of it. It's a great feeling. Sheriff's Deputy Joel Funk said this was at least the second time he’s partici­ pated. "it “It’s very rewarding rewarding to shop with these kids and see them get so excited. It’s neat to see their eyes and their smiles,” he said. Funk shopped with an “almost 11-year-old” girl who took her time findin just the right things for herself and special gifts for her younger sister. Before the shopping trip, youngsters met at the former Hastings library where they ate pizza and decorated sugar cookies. They rode the decorated festive Holly Trolley to Walmart, singing Christmas carols along the route. And when they got back to the library after shopping, some just couldn’t wait to break out their new toys and start playing. Cameron started dribbling his new basketball, and another young boy care­ fully played catch with his new football and a newfound police friend. illl! 1A I 4 hi I I •*« I1 ‘ A 1 ■< ■M.

In 2004, Alderink was assigned as a detective with the Kent County Narcotics Enforcement Team and, in March 2006, he became a K9 handler specializing in nar­ cotics with K9 Joe. In January 2014, K9 Joe transitioned from a single purpose narcotics dog to a dual purpose patrol K9 for narcotics tracking, narcotics and Alderink and K9 Joe were reassigned to the road patrol. Shortly after certifying in tracing, K9 Joe tracked a bank robber to his house, resulting in an arrest. K9 Sabre was purchased due to the anticipated retire­ ment of K9 Joe in December 2014. K9 Sabre and Alderink, attended a five-week track­ ing and narcotics K9 acade­ my through Vigilant Canine Services Inc. held at the Kent County Sheriff’s Honor Camp.

Sabre is named in honor of a Lansing Police Department K9 that was killed in the line of duty on Saturday, January 23, 1999. The LPDs K9, also named Sabre, was han­ dled by retired LPD Officer Matt Ramsey. Sabre was shot and killed while attempting to take down an armed suspect following a foot pursuit. The suspect had broken into an occupied resi­ dence while attempting to flee officers. As entry was made into the home, the suspect opened fire. Sabre immediately attacked the suspect as officers returned fire. Both K9 Sabre and the suspect were fatally wound­ ed. In honor of the LPDs K9, Sabre, the Kent County Sheriff Department selected the same name for its new patrol dog. i ■ Add a sparkle and sheen with Aveda and Redken products.

(Photos by Julie Makarewicz) The annual Christmas parade in Middleville brought out many people Saturday morning to wel­ come the holiday season. C hildren covered their ears when the fire trucks led the parade down Main Street. Some booed when the Grinch arrived in a hot air balloon basket quickly fol­ lowed by cheers for Santa riding close behind. The Thomapple Kellogg High School band looked sharp stepping out in their black, white and orange uni­ forms and brought the sounds of the season to life along the parade route. The morning festivities started with a pancake break­ fast at the United Methodist Church and, afterward, peo- pie lined the streets for the festive parade. After the parade, it didn't take long for a line of chil­ dren waiting to see Santa to form at the Stagecoach gaze­ bo. When Santa made his way back from the parade route, children anxiously climbed up on his lap and whispered their Christmas wishes to him.

Thornapple Kellogg’s varsity boys’ basketball team opened the 2014-15 season this week with non­ conference victories over Gull Lake and Forest Hills Eastern. The Trojans topped the FHE Hawks 54-51 in Middleville Friday night. TK took control of its game with the Hawks in the middle of the second quarter and led by a dozen at the half. Trojan head coach Mike Rynearson said the second half belonged to the Hawks, “They picked up the eneron some gy’ converted . offensive rebounds, and knocked down some big three-point shots,” Rynearson said. Like in its season opener with Gull Lake though, the Trojans were able to fight off the late rally. Tommy Hamilton led the Trojans with 17 points. Jackson Bronkema added 11 points and three assists, Clay Francisco added seven points and a team-high seven rebounds. “Many guys contributed tonight without scoring,” said Rynearson. “We had guys hustling for loose balls and tipping the ball back out top on the offensive glass, The one thing I am most proud of is the hustle.” Forest Hills Eastern got 15 points from Steven Harvey, who knocked down three threes. Joshua Karafa hit two threes and finished with ten points as well as five rebounds for FHE. The Trojans topped Gull Lake 54-50 in the season opener in Richland Tuesday. TK pushed a small lead to double figures in the third quarter, but Gull Lake rallied to lead for a moment in the fourth quarter. “We saw some nice things from the guys and some things we need to correct as the season moves along,” Rynearson said, “When we build a substantial lead we need to learn how to protect it by taking care of the ball and having good shot selection. It was a good win.” TK fought off the Blue Devils with some crucial late spots and few key free throws. * ii r- •z * JI 1 :*■ • £ • • xp.t Ltff V/ 5 MDCH reminds residents to vaccinate against measles Following the recent confirmation of two measles cases in the Traverse City the area, Michigan Department of Community Health is reminding all residents to protect themselves against the disease by making certain they are up to date on their vaccines. Michigan is now among 23 states that have reported cases of 2014. measles in The Michigan cases were unvaccinated and were exposed to measles during travel in the Philippines. Additional cases are under investigation. “Although the once common disease is now a rarity in the United States, Measles can spread when it reaches a community where groups of people are unvaccinated,” said Dr. Matthew Davis, chief medical executive with the MDCH. “The progress made here in the U.S. may be threatened by the high incidence of measles elsewhere in the world. To protect against outbreaks and stop the disease from widely spreading in the U.S., we need to succeed in our efforts to keep immunization rates high.” From 2001 to 2012, the average number of measles cases reported nationally per year was 60. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there have been more than 600 cases reported this year in the U.S., and the vast majority of cases have been among persons who had no history of vaccination against measles. The Philippines is experiencing a very large and ongoing measles outbreak, with more than 50,000 measles cases and more than 100 measles-related deaths reported this year. Many of the cases in the U.S. this year have been traced to travel in or contact with the Philippines. Measles also continues to be common in many other parts of the w'orld including some countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Pacific. Measles is a vaccine-pre­ ventable disease that can result in hospitalization, pneumonia, encephalitis, and death. Measles illness involves a high fever, conjunctivitis (red, inflamed eyelid membranes), cough, runny nose, photophobia, and a generalized red, raised body rash starting on the head and face and progressing to the rest of the body. Because measles is highly communicable, successful prevention and control requires high levels of immunity in all communities, The measles vaccine is highly effective and very safe. The first of two routine childhood measles vaccine doses is given at 12 months of age. For international travel, infants as young as six months should be vaccinated against measles. The vaccination, or documentation of immunity to measles, is recommended for all persons traveling internationally. 5^, dis#* •• ■ f• s a acre: > w b M SHx * • — — •*- l*i ■: ^<1 II Jv4 III the door the day of the event.

Caledonia's varsity wrestling team opened its season with a I-I record at its own quad Wednesday, pulling out a 43-30 victory' over Hudsonville in the final match of the evening to earn the split. The Eagles led the dual 27-6 through the first six bouts, starting at 103 pounds. “Our team right now is thin on the low side, the lower weights, decent in the middle and we kind of pick up speed and get to our tougher guys at the end," said Caledonia head coach Roger Singleton. “So I was feeling pretty good at I7l when we were winning. I was like, well we're going to win because I have some studs up top." The run started at 140 pounds, where the Scots' Jared Smith scored a 13-4 major decision over Koi by Kempker, putting Kempker on his back twice in the third period to earn his second vic­ tory of the night. Smith also won by a decision in his team's 33-30 loss to Delton Kellogg to open the night. “It was kind of one of those matches that was nip and tuck in the first period and (Smith) ended up pulling The Fighting Scots’ Zane Gorby (bottom) works to score a reversal in the third period of his 215-pound match against Delton Kellogg’s Tyden Ferris during Wednesday’s season opening quad at Caledonia High School.

Joey Alcala at 189, Zane Gorby at 215 and Andrew Bowen at 285 pounds. Singleton was impressed with his returning state qual­ ifier Gorby's efforts on the night, and also pleased with Bowen's performance at 285. They each finished with two wins. Gorby pulled out a 9-4 decision against Delton Kellogg's big freshmen Tyden Ferris in a good match at 215 pounds, and at 285 against Delton Bowen bested Blake Mast 6-1. Rodgers at 171 and Alcala at 189 had first period pins for the Scots in the win over the Delton Panthers. Smith bested Christian Kapteyn at Erik 140 pounds and Rittenger pulled out a 14-8 win over Brogan Smith at 145. The Scots' other six points in the loss to Delton came from Luke Hamilton's forfeit win against a void in the Panther line-up at 103 pounds. “1 had some kids up and some kids gave up some points here and there that I thought we could have pulled that one out, but as a whole I look at it as a learn­ ing experience for our kids, Singleton said, 1 thought they wrestled well.

J» I �♦ 9 f Trinity Christian a great fit for TK’s Shoobridge by Brett Bremer • Sports Editor Through three season Trinity Christian College head coach Reggie Chapple had never successfully recruited anyone over 5 feet 11 inches tall for the Troll Women’s Basketball Program. That all changed Tuesday. Thornapple Kellogg sen­ ior forward Jenna Shoobridge signed her National Letter of Intent in front of teammates, family friends, coach Chapple and Thornapple Kellogg varsity girls' basketball coach Jessee Bays in the Thornapple Kellogg High School office Tuesday before her team’s contest with Gull Lake. “Since I've been at Trinity we’ve been very small, Chapple said. “Jenna is the first 6-foot athlete who we will have in our program.

She can guard in the post and she can guard on the wing as well, so it’s just a very good fit, not only for basketball.” Shoobridge got along great with the Trolls during her visit to the college in Palos Heights, III. She was hoping to find a college not too close to home, but not too far as well. Being just south west of Chicago was a perfect fit there. Bays worked with her to find a school where she could play ball but also fit with her desire to be a special educa­ tion major. Trinity is known for its special education program. That was one of the key things,” Shoobridge said. “It's not just about the sports, they're strong in their academics as well. “Throughout the process coach Chapple has been really active in communicating with me and that communi­ cation is really good, Everything just kind of fit in - well with Trinity. Other colleges that I visited it didn’t click as well as Trinity did.” Shoobridge is starting her senior season with the Trojan varsity, her second varsity season. She said she started playing ball as an “awkward lanky” fifth grader, who was asked to give it a try mostly because of her height. “I did one season with our school’s basketball program and then I did Courthouse with a dad of one of my friends here at school. From there I was in to the seventh grade program for TK,” £ JEFF DOBBIN’S AUTO SERVICE, IIMC.

(Photo by Brett Bremer) Shoobridge said. She never participated in AAU ball, instead playing in a few Gus Mackers throughout the summers, participat­ ing in the Trojans’ summer camps and helping run the youth camps at TK. It wasn’t until the end of her junior season that she seriously started thinking about play­ ing college basketball. After that practices got a little more focused. She went from shooting around for fun to getting in a set number of shots a day after school with a coach, focusing on ballhandling skills and conditioning. Her ball handling skills and quickness make her different from the typical 6-foot post-player. “Jenna I think will fit well,” coach Chapple said. “I’m a very defensive mind­ ed coach and she definitely excels on the defensive end. That's going to be very exciting to be able to see her play in our defense. The learned from Krol that being defense we play is similar to a leader isn’t about being the the defense she’s already top scorer or the best ballused to so she's very com­ handler. fortable with some of those “You lead by example, by defenses that we're playing, partnering up with your Shoobridge also played teammates and working two years of varsity volley­ alongside them,” Shoobridge ball at TK, and was a soccer said. “(Krol) is one of the player as well in her fresh­ man and sophomore seasons.

M-43 Highway, Hastings, Ml 49058 Middleville gets grant, needs bat study to continue trail project by .Julie Makarewicz (I ri bfid 4l£f| dT )dlOHE < 'jzsri'j Staff Writer There’s good news and bad news for Middleville’s park and trail expansion plans. The good news is the vil­ lage has been awarded another grant to help pur­ chase a portion of the bait shop property. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources Trust Fund grant provides $135,000 to the village. The village hopes to purchase about 0.6 acres of property on the north side of Main Street by the river where the bait shop is currently locat- ed. The site is adjacent to the land the village is already planning to develop into a new park complete with a community pavilion and Veteran’s memorial. The additional land could provide more access to the Thomapple River. ' The village is hoping to acquire the parcel from Jim Robertson, who reportedly has signed a letter saying he is willing to negotiate a sale to the village. He would retain the property where multi-family housing is located north of the bait shop. If the property is success- fully purchased with the grant, the property must stay in recreational use forever. Although the grant has been awarded, the property acqui­ sition is just starting and could be a lengthy process, according to village officials. There was also some notso-good news for the village Palmer appointed county clerk ability to do the job,” she [ said. While she proposes to go slowly in making any changes in the clerk's office. Palmer said she has an inter­ est in using technology to make information available more freely and efficiently. She said she intends to meet with the county’s informa­ tion technology department to explore possibilities for making case filings more available and with local attorneys to learn what they feel would be helpful. Nevertheless, some potential areas where information can­ not be made public, she said most notably anything involving juveniles, is off limits as public information. Another area where informa­ tion can be sealed is divorce records. “Pam has done a superb job in the office for me. and I know she will do a fine job for the people of Barry County.” said Judge Amy McDowell, who now will need to find a new chief clerk. by Fran Favcrman Staff Writer Barry County Chief Judge William Doherty Tuesday announced the selection of Pamela Palmer to fill the upcoming vacancy in the office of Barry County Clerk when current Clerk Pamela Jarvis officially retires Dec. si 111V/ uonru; bmr/l no jqu aoffto nsriw eivul Jt Mfr Though state law charges circuit court judges with the legal responsibility and authority to make the appointment, Barry County Circuit Court Judge Amy McDowell requested the assistance of Doherty and District Court Judge Michael Schipper to assist with delib­ erations. Doherty made the public announcement on McDowell’s behalf. “A consensus was reached late yesterday afternoon after considerable discussion and debate amongst the three county judges,” Doherty said in a written statement released Tuesday. “Several of the candidates interviewed last Friday were highly qual­ ified and capable of continu­ ing to successfully lead the county clerk’s office, which made the decision quite diffi­ cult.” As word of the appoint­ ment reached offices in the courthouse, both Jarvis and Palmer joked about the upcoming transition. “The only thing that will change is the last name on the door,” joked Palmer, not­ ing that the two share first names and middle initials. Praising Jarvis, Palmer said. “I have big shoes to fill.” She'll begin doing that following the official public swearing-in ceremony to take place in the Barry County Circuit Courtroom at 4 p.m. Friday, Jan. 2. • Palmer, a Middleville area resident, has approximately 37 years of experience in the legal system. 18 years as a legal secretary and 19 years as chief clerk to the circuit court judge. The county clerk's office handles motions, filings, records and much of the minutiae ot the legal system.

The class donated 35 gifts to the family. by Fran Faverman Staff Writer * The spirit of giving is alive and well in Caledonia High School. The lower forum room at the high school was the scene Friday morning Dec. 12, of orchestrated effort as approximately 40 students and some adults were busy packing boxes of foodstuffs for the 46 families being served by the school’s National Honor Society chapter. “This year’s project is the largest,” said Waseem Syed, who co-chaired the event with Bailey Green. “Last year, we had 28 families. The families contact us.” Chris Koryto, registrar and faculty advisor to the chapter, was busy providing hands-on assistance and solving problems when asked to do so. Getting the right food­ stuffs into the correct box for each family was just the beginning of the day's efforts. All of the boxes, complete with food, gifts of clothing, toys and other appropriate gifts were to be delivered to each family at its residence or other desig­ nated place after the end of the school day. Various groups within the high school helped. At 10 a.m. students from the FFA chapter began appearing to take their turn packing and loading boxes onto dollies for relocation to the distribu- *4 Waseem Syed (left) and Bailey Green, co-chairs of the service project, stand in front of the pile of coats donat­ ed for distribution to families who requested them for the winter. tion site where drivers would pick up their assignments for delivery.

Prizes for the most points were a pizza party followed by bagels and then doughnuts. Deb Brunt’s class of Advanced Placement math and science students took first place while Nancy McLaughlin’s Spanish class took second place. Two major donors for the event were the Tom Otto Turkey Farm, which donated 46 turkeys, 46 and the Marketplace Food Center, which donated 200 cans of vegetables. Both are businesses located in Middleville. All the other items were received from students. TK extends school day to avoid extra days in spring Please note our special Hastings City Bank chose to adopt one of the families and provided gifts for three children, along with food for the family. Koryto said members of the student council would be taking their turn and wrap­ ping toys for children. The event came together shortly after Thanksgiving. “The planning was done, and the week of Dec. 8 to 12, was selected for receiving the donations, packing them up and arranging deliveries,” said Green. In fact some donations With four snow days already used, Thornapple Kellogg School officials are taking a preemptive action after the Christmas break in an attempt to avoid having to extend the school year in the spring. Superintendent Tom Enslen sent a letter to fami­ lies within the district explaining that, after the hoiiday break> the school day „ , will start five minutes earlier and end five minutes later in all schools in the district. “You may recall that last year we had an extraordinary number of school days lost to weather conditions (14 in all), and that we had to extend the school year among other things in response to the lost days, » said Enslen in his letter. Enslen said legislation was enacted allowing dis­ tricts to add time to the school days in order to meet 1,098 hours of instruction time. “We have communicated with our auditors, and have been given the leeway to add time now however we see fit, given our circumstance,” said Enslen. Enslen said the added minutes will provide cushion for the district through the rest of the winter. The added time gives the district a little more than six full days to use throughout the rest of the __ if_ the __ winter. Enslen said days are not needed, the distnct could make changes to the remaining school calen­ dar. Deciding whether or not to cancel school is always a dif­ ficult decision. Enslen said the process starts at about 4 a.m. when he and the trans­ portation director and start driving district roads. Enslen also communicates with neighboring school districts and looks at the weather forecast as well, Enslen said his main prior­ ity is the safety of all the stu­ dents.

The full coun­ cil will meet at 4:30 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 22 to review the applications and to possi­ bly narrow the field to its top two or three choices. The council will also con­ sider two additional applica­ tions that were submitted and received by the village on Monday after the 4 p.m. Dec. 12 deadline. Because there were no postmarks on the mailed applications. Village President Charlie Pullen asked the council if the applications should at least be considered. Council • members agreed that they will at least look at the two additional applications and will then decide if they'll increase their candidate pool or not. One of the applicants attended Tuesday night's council meeting, coming from Jonesville. Duane Weeks has been serving as interim village manager since Rebecca Fleury vacated the job to take a city manager position in Battle Creek. The committee reviewing all the applications included Pullen, and council members Jean Lamoreaux and Mike Lytle. In another matter at Tuesday’s meeting, council approved the 2015 budget and millage rates. The village millage rate will stay the same at 12.5 mills with 10.5 mills dedicated to the gener­ al fund and 2 mills for high­ way roads. Water and sewer rates will change slightly. The sewer rates are expected to go from $3.23 per 1,000 gallons to $3.31 in 2015. The sewer rate debt will drop, however, from $45.48 per quarter to $40.48 per perquarter. quarter. $40.48 The water rate will increase from $1.71 per 1,000 gallons to $1.75 with the readiness to serve fees increasing from $10.30 per quarter to $13.12 per quarter and the debt service from $12.58 per quarter to $13.58 per quarter. The budget estimates total revenues in the general fund of $1,406 million with total expenditures of $1,405 mil­ lion leaving a total fund bal­ ance of $137,000. Weeks reminded the coun­ cil that the budget is bal­ anced, but it is fairly tight. Council member Shannon Haigh voted against the budget and also against the water rates. In other business: • Sue Reyff was appoint­ ed to serve on the planning commission. Reyff formerly served as the liaison member from the village council to the planningtoa commission. She was not re-elected to the village council and was replaced in the liaison position by new council member Mike Cramer. Reyff was unanimously appointed to fill another vacancy on the planning commission and it was noted there were two other people who expressed some interest in serving. • Weeks reported Freedom Net has made its payment to the village and officials have said they hope to start installation of the antennae on the Bender Road water tower next week. Freedom Net is an Internet provider. The company gained approval from the vil­ lage to place an antennae on the village-owned water tower after more than a year since their initial request. Freedom Net officials have said they hope the new site will provide service to residents within about a fivemile radius - many of whom currently are without highspeed Internet alternatives. • Physical Therapy • Occupational Therapy • Speech Therapy .

Bryan Supervisor Harrison turned the meeting over to Trustee Dale Hermenet, chair, of the Parks and Trails Committee who introduced Viridis Consultants for an update on the progress of the master plan ‘ for non-motorized trails. The great advantage Caledonia has is the presence of the Paul Henry regional trail through the township, suggested the report from Viridis. A connection to a regional trail system also provides an additional opportunity to seek grants to help defray the costs of building the the trail, Furthermore, there are points where different sections of the community can connect to the Paul Henry trail. The master plan is divided into five phases though the consultants pointed out that does not mean a progression from Phase I to Phase 5 must be followed. As long as a segment connects to the Paul Henry trail, the process will be moving appropriately, According to Hermenet, a 1 I A 11 I *i M * M s <1 I * « * a.. :a * s VjV ul A I □ U I tT but ■'a J? £ 1 «!

More than 10 percent of people visiting emergency departments in Kent County last week were suffering from flu-like illness, and six out of 10 patients presenting with flu-like illness were under the age of 18. So far this season, there have been 74 confirmed cases of flu reported to KCHD (not every person who is sick with influenza goes to a health care provider or gets tested, so the actual number of ill­ nesses is likely much high­ er). The flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses that infect the nose, throat, and lungs. Flu viruses can spread when people with flu cough, sneeze, or even 'talk. Someone might also get flu by touching a surface or object (like a phone) that has I I I V S' . *1 v f flu virus on it, and then touching their own mouth, eyes, or nose. The flu can cause mild to severe illness, and in some cases, it can be deadly, Signs and symptoms can include fever, chills, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle or body aches, headaches, fatigue (very tired), vomiting and diarrhea (more common in children than adults). Not everyone with flu will experience all of the symptoms. The flu can have serious complications for children under the age of five, the elderly, and people with already-weakened immune systems. The CDC recommends a yearly flu vaccine for everyone over 6 months of age to protect against flu viruses. “We know there has been some mutation in the flu virus that was expected for this year when the influenza vaccine was produced,” says Adam London, administra­ tive health officer for the KCHD, “but the flu vaccine is still very useful and the best protection you can get against influenza. Even in Provided by Andrew McFadden those cases where people get of Edward Jones the flu, the illness is not as severe as it is in those unvac­ cinated.” Seek to balance ‘ risk tolerance ’ and ‘ required risk ’ Now' is the time to get vac­ cinated.

The first two games of the season we have played pretty good initial defense, only to give up second-chance points by giving up the offensive boards.

For millions of people every season, influenza can mean a fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle aches, fatigue and miserable days spent in bed. More than 200.000 people are hospitalized in the United States from flu complications each year. The flu also can be deadly, but a vaccine that can prevent flu. While how well the vaccine works can vary, the benefits from vaccination are well docu­ mented. A yearly flu vaccine for everyone 6 months of age and older is the first and most important step in protecting against influenza disease. Flu vaccination also may make the illness milder if someone does get sick. Flu vaccine is available as a shot and as a nasal spray. Some people are at high the nearest location where people can get vaccinated. As long as the flu is spread­ ing. there is still benefit from a flu vaccine. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention rec­ ommends taking three steps to fight flu this season: Get vaccinated, take everyday preventive actions to help stop the spread of germs and take antiviral medications to treat flu illness if the doctor prescribes them, Antiviral drugs against the flu are a second line of defense to treat the illness, They can prevent serious flu complications and may decrease the length of the illness. These drugs work best when started soon after influenza symptoms begin (within two days), but per­ sons with high-risk conditions can benefit even when antiviral treatment is started after the first two days of ill­ ness. A doctor or health care professional can determine if a patient needs flu antiviral drugs. * risk for serious flu-related complications, like pneumo­ nia, that can lead to hospital­ ization and even death. This includes young children, pregnant women, people 65 and older and people with certain medical conditions, such as asthma, diabetes or heart disease. For those at high risk for complications, getting the flu vaccine is especially important. It's also important for caregivers to get the vaccine if they care for anyone at high risk, including babies younger than 6 months because they are too young to get the vac­ cine. Talk to a doctor or other health care professional about which type of vaccine is best, a shot or nasal spray. Flu vaccinations are offered in many locations, including doctors’ offices, clinics, health departments, pharma­ cies and college health cen­ ters.

With four days used already in November this year, district officials aren’t taking any chances and are adding 10 minutes to the school day starting after Christmas break.

Business Middle Villa closes and is demolished After 45 years under the ownership and management of the Wiersum family, the Middle Villa bowling alley, restaurant and banquet center closed and was demolished in 2014. Steven Wiersum and his wife Sue both worked at ‘"The Villa” as teens, eventually got mar­ ried, had a family and took over ownership. Steve said it wasn’t just a business, but a way of life that involved everyone in the family. His father purchased the site in 1969. After announcing the clos­ ing, the Wiersums put the business up for sale for sev­ eral months. Without any interested buyers, they decided their best action was to demolish the building that sits on about 21 acres. The building was razed in the fall.

Visser gets approval for more multi-family housing Visser Brothers gained village approval for more multi-family housing con­ struction along the south side of Towne Center Drive in Middleville. At first, the council rejected the plans, saying they would rather see more single-family homes instead of multi-family dwellings. But eventually, the council agreed that some new construction is better than nothing, and Visser Brothers representatives convinced the council if the condos weren’t allowed, the land would most likely remain vacant for a long time. The site was originally planned for commercial use, but Visser representatives said the village already has an abundance of commercial property, some of it vacant.

They decorated plain brown paper bags for the Kids Food Basket pro­ gram and created colorful and fun IV bag tags for Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital, “It’s really cool that we get to take a day out of school to do this. I really like it,” said freshman Avery Martin while she helped braid old T-shirts into dog toys. Hanna McCrath, a junior, said she looks forward to the service day every year. I just like the feeling that ll I Riley Borrink and Hanna McCrath, both juniors at TKHS, work together to make dog chew toys during the service day.

Autumn Cooper, another freshman, said she thought coloring tags for the IV bags was a neat idea. “We’re just trying to make things a little better for somebody. It’s really a neat thing to do,” she said. Rachael Marcy, a junior, said she also likes the proj­ ects. “It’s nice to take a day out of our learning to give something back to others,” Marcy said. “It shows us the real meaning of Christmas,” said Brooke Holliday, another junior.

Although no action was taken, the Council heard findings of the Junior High/Middle School task force created at the 2013 Fall Meeting to consider how the MHSAA should continue to encourage multi-sport expe­ riences at that level and review the possibility of serving sixth-grade students in addition to those in the seventh and eighth grades. The task force met four times during the 2014 calen­ dar year. It provided support for longer quarters in basket­ ball and football that were recommended the by Junior MHSAA’s High/Middle School Committee and approved by the Representative Council in March. The Junior High/Middle School Committee will consider another task force recommendation in January that would allow sixth graders to participate against seventh and eighth graders in all sports except football and ice hockey without seeking annual waivers from the MHSAA in order to do so. The Council could then review that recommendation when it reconvenes in March. Currently, the MHSAA serves 725 member schools at the 7th and 8thgrade level, The Council also contin­ ued to examine the impact of increasing numbers of inter­ national students and addi­ tional rules approved in March to equalize the treat­ ment of J-l and F-l visa stu­ dents and standardize their opportunities at both public and non-public high schools. A package of proposals adopted at the Council’s March 2014 meeting in part allowed for the MHSAA to approve school-operated international student placement programs if they were not listed by the Council on Standards for International Educational Travel (CSIET). The MHSAA for 2014-15 approved five such pro- 735 E.

However, the Council will determine in March if the MHSAA will retain the ability to approve nonCSIET school-operated programs again in 2015-16. An update also was provided on work to determine if rules regulating out-of-season coaching by school staff should be changed to allow those coaches more involve­ ment with student-athletes out of season. MHSAA staff discussed possible changes with member school admin­ istrators at league meetings and then athletic director in­ service and update meetings this fall and surveyed athlet­ ic directors on the desirability of potential changes in late October. The Council The reviewed results of the sur­ vey and input from meetings and a schedule of upcoming discussions with coaches associations and league and conference leaders. Further Council discussion is slated for March with possible action during its final meet­ ing of th$ school year in May. The Council voted on two matters concerning MHSAA tournaments. E-cigarettes and other smoking devices were added to the list of sub­ stances prohibited at MHSAA tournament events. The Council also approved the opportunity for presenta­ tion of awards by a sport's coaches association at MHSAA Finals for that sport so long as awards are to rec­ ognize students. The Fall Meeting also saw the addition of Pat Watson, principal at West Bloomfield High School, to the 19-person Council. He was appointed to a two-year term and previously served as his school’s athletic director and coached baseball and girls and boys basketball. He fills the position formerly held by Carmen Kennedy, principal at St. Clair Shores South Lake High School, whose term ended.
