Excess residential water softener discharge caused spikes in salt levels at the Campau-Kettle Lake waste water treatment plant. As a result, at least two residential wells registered salt levels above state stan­ dards. The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality pressured the township to alleviate the salty problem. The township is considering various options, including an educational campaign urging residents to reduce excess water softener discharge or enacting a township ordi­ nance exacting a penalty on high use residents until they reduce their discharge. Another solution includes discharging treated water into a small stream flowing adjacent to the CampauKettle plant, keeping salt-lad­ en water on the surface instead of flowing into the water table.

Last month, Spoor request­ ed the township support his new master plan for his prop­ erty, which included reduced boat slips and multi-use office and condominium spaces. * Any proposals or requests to the township, including special meetings to discuss the marina, have been can­ celed. Spoor said. However, because Orangeville Township has ceded its plan­ ning and zoning to the county, Spoor does not need township approval for any development projects. “Spoor has asked the board forget about his strategic plan, because the game has changed,” Trustee Robert Perino said after Spoor left the meeting. “To what extent, he did not declare.

According to McManus, the only marina in danger of not putting out docks in the spring is Spoor's. “I would say Mr. Spoor does not understand all of the ordinance," McManus said. Contrary to Spoor's claims Tuesday, McManus reported marinas grandfathered around Gun Lake do not need Spoor's text amend­ ment to re-open in the spring. A text amendment would only be necessary in the case of expanding marina size. The only current prospective expansion is Spoor’s marina, McManus said.

He estimated the pro­ cess will be expedited once the drive is widened and paved. He added that a buf­ fer is planned between resi­ dential buildings and another proposed parking lot.

The Orangeville Township board approved Fire Chief Dan Boulter’s request for five sets of turnout gear and five breathing self-contained apparatus for a grand total of $45,000. A federal grant which would have helped purchase the turnout gear was denied. The board approved the purchase unanimously. The gear was included in the annual budget to help replace turnout gear and equipment for the township’s 25 volun­ teer firefighters, many of whom respond to calls with aging gear. Boulter reported the fire budget has more than enough black ink to fund the purchases.

FINANCIAL FOCUS E Provided by Andrew McFadden and Kevin Beck of Edward Jones Time is a key factor in investing With the arrival of the New Year, many of us will pause and ponder the age-old question: “Who knows where the time goes? " And, as is always the case, none of us really do know. However, wherever the time goes, it will usually be a key factor in your success as an investor. Time can affect how you invest, and the results of your investing, in different ways: • Growth potential Contrary to myth, there’s no real way to “get rich quick” when investing. To build wealth, you need patience and time. If you own quality investments with growth potential, and you give them years - in fact, decades - to increase in value, your perse­ verance may be rewarded. Of course, there are no guaran­ tees, and you’ll need the dis­ cipline to withstand the inevitable downturns along the way. But in describing how long he likes to keep his investments, renowned investor Warren Buffet says his favorite holding period is “forever. ” • Targeted goals - To accu­ mulate resources for retire­ ment, you need to save and mvest throughout your work­ ing life. But along the way, you’ll probably also have some shorter-term goals making a down payment on a home, sending your children to college, taking a roundthe-world trip, and so on. Each of these goals has a specific time limit and usual­ ly requires a specific amount of money, so you will need to appropriate choose the investments. • Risk tolerance - The ele­ ment of time also will affect your tolerance for risk. When you have many decades to go until you retire, you can afford to take more risk with your investments because you have time to overcome periods of market volatility. But when you’re on the verge of retirement, you may want to lower the risk level in your portfolio. For exam­ ple, you may want to begin moving away from some of your more aggressive, growth-oriented investments and move toward more income-producing vehicles that offer greater stability of principal. Keep in mind, though, that even during retirement, you’ll need your portfolio to provide enough growth opportunity at least to help keep you ahead of infla­ tion. Thus far, we have looked at ways in which time plays a Sun Published by... role in how you invest. But there’s also an aspect of time that you may want to keep out of your investment strate­ gies. Specifically, you might not want to try to “time” the market. The biggest problem with market timing is it’s just too hard. You essentially have to be right twice, selling at a market top and buying at the bottom. Also, as humans, we appear to be somewhat wired to think that an activity - especially a long-running activity - will simply contin­ ue. So, when the market goes up, we seem to expect it to keep rising, and when the market drops, we think it will continue dropping. This can lead to big mistakes, such as selling after a major market drop even though that can be the time when it may be much smarter to buy because prices are low. As we’ve seen, the way you interact with time can affect your investment efforts. So, think carefully about how you can put all the days, months and years on your side. Time is the one asset you can’t replenish - so use it wisely.

In 3-quart Dutch oven over medium heat, heat sauce. Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. In large skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil. Add chicken, skin-side down, and cook 3-5 minutes, or until skin is crisp and deep goldenbrown. Turn chicken over and cook 3-5 minutes until golden-brown on second side. Remove chicken from skillet, leaving fat in pan. Set aside skillet to be used later. Add chicken to sauce in Dutch oven in single layer, skin-side up, with skin just above surface of sauce. Cover and bake 40 minutes. Begin to boil water for pasta. Remove cover from Dutch oven and cook in oven 10 minutes. Cook pasta al dente according to package instruc­ tions. Drain. Heat reserved skillet and fat over medium-high heat; add cremini mushrooms and onions; saute until lightly browned. Deglaze with white wine, if desired, and cook until dry. Add kale to mushrooms and toss gently to wilt. Remove Dutch oven from oven and gently transfer chicken to large plate. Add pasta to sauce in Dutch oven and stir gently to coat. Place portion of pasta in pasta bowl and make well in middle. Spoon mushroom-kale mixture into center of well and top with one piece of chicken. Shave Parmesan cheese over dish to finish. Substitution: Portobello, shiitake or button mush­ rooms may be used in place of cremini mushrooms. Tip: Serve with creamy polenta instead of pasta.

Radium, in turn, is a natural decay product of uranium. Both radium and uranium are found in almost any kind of soil and rock, often in minute amounts. Radon moves up through the soil and enters buildings through cracks and openings in the foundation, floor or walls, including at floor and wall joints, sump openings and other openings caused by wiring, plumbing, or ductwork. Outdoors, radon is diluted by the atmosphere to safe levels. Indoors, it tends to be more concentrated. These can J be higher^ levels unhealthy, because radon can cause lung cancer. In fact, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer (smok­ ing is the first). Radon is the No. 1 cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. So, it’s import­ ant for residents to know their home's radon level and to take action to lower it if it’s too high. According to a Michigan survey, high levels of radon are expected in one out of eight homes in the state. In some counties, as many as 45 percent of the homes have had radon levels above the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s recom­ mended action level. The only way to know if a home has high radon levels is to test it.

The GLPA maintained that Spoor’s new plan - which called for fewer boat slips and development of a large multi-use building - was a smokescreen for Spoor’s true intent for the property: build­ in a large marina on the south shore of Gun Lake, Though Spoor evidently has abandoned his master plan, the Gun Lake Protective Association still considers the text amendment as evi­ dence Spoor is pursuing a marina expansion. “Now, Mr. Spoor is trying to change the rules of the game,” Heethuis said. “He’s applied to Barry County to have the zoning ordinance amended to allow marinas in the mixed-use district for special land use.” Heethuis demanded the amendment be left dead in the water, citing the amend­ ment as rewarding Spoor’s allegedly unlawful behavior. Heethuis said countless lakefront properties will be negatively affected, including additional boat traffic on crowded Gun Lake and opening the doors for future mari­ na expansions across the county. If the amendment passes, Spoor still would have to apply to the county for a spe­ cial land-use permit to expand his marina. But Heethuis said he believes the county will have little choice denying a spe­ cial land-use application if the criteria are met. He urged the township to exercise its right in recom­ mending the county not pass the zoning amendment. “I can’t imagine as being a steward of Gun Lake, and during my term in the hop­ per, that we allow marinas, something that’s never been done,” Heethuis said. Supervisor Rook interject­ ed quietly, pointing out other self-proclaimed marinas that have existed on the lake for decades. Matteson Marine and others, claimed Heethuis, were established prior to zoning. As long as existing marinas remain at their historic capacity, he said, they are considered grandfathered and allowed to operate, Heethuis conceded that even the marina now owned by Spoor historically had approximately 20 boat slips. The main issue isn’t shut­ ting down all marinas, Heethuis said, but utilizing current zoning laws to prohibit further marina growth and expansion. Gun Lake lies primarily within Yankee Springs and Orangeville townships in Barry County, with smaller portions in Martin Martin and and Wayland townships townships in in Allegan County. ““The The proposed proposed amend amend-­ ment ment to to the the text text of ofthe the mixedmixeduse use zoning zoning district district would would front­ affect not only the lake frontage age on on Gun Gun Lake Lake with with the the Spoor Spoor marina, marina, but but also also the the lake frontage in many other townships around around the the lake, lake,”” townships With the the Heethuis Heethuis said. said, “With amendment, new marinas and expanding expanding existing existing marimariand nas would be authorized at many new new locations locations around around many Gun Lake.” After Heethuis’ lengthy address, the crowd applauded and stood in support of the GLPA. Trustee Perino, troubled at Heethuis’ speaking in lieu of his legal counsel, questioned why Bloom was absent. Heethuis replied Bloom had never planned to attend the meeting. Perino criticized the Gun Lake Protective Association for trying to sneak the resolution through the board during the holidays, calling the GLPA’s method to get the resolution passed unethical. “That strategy, and more importantly the tactic [Bloom] was using, sending it between Christmas and New Year's, is not ethical,” Perino said. “Attorney Bloom had the gall to say that we should adopt a whole new ordinance defining marinas which would impact with undetermined consequences Matteson Marine, Winchester Chicago Point, Drive, 44 ) 1I1L4A ViMUlUUW Ml o t ©s {S3 1 w » ■ ■ * 4 269-795-8473 1 Reserve Now and Save! 500 Arlington Ct. (M-37) Middleville (Next to Fires 2000) England Point, and others, We don’t know the impact [the resolution] will have on those, and those are business­ es we need to have.” Perino clarified that the board does not support expanding Spoor's marina ’ but the board has a fiduciary duty to look out for the best interest of businesses within Orangeville Township and understand the effects any resolution may have on the community. “The other uncomfortable thing for me is letting a board of commissioners decide what’s good for Gun Lake,” Perino said. “They know nothing about zoning, the guy who knows about zoning is McManus.” The board. Perino said, is stuck between taking matters into its own hands by adopting the GLPA’s resolution, or letting the county board decide the fate of marinas on Gun Lake. Township Clerk Mel Risner recommended the township attorney examine the GLPA’s resolution prior to full adoption. The township had not received the resolution prior to the meeting. “We need to contact our attorney for the wording of this to make sure it’s proper on our end, and protect the township as well,” Risner said. Heethuis demanded the board s attorney review the resolution and make a deter­ mination before Spoor’s first text amendment hearing Jan. neanng jan. 22. Rook and Risner assured Heethuis the resolution would be reviewed with the intent of ratifying by then. The board voted unani­ mously to forward the resolution to its attorney for review and revision with the intent of adopting it. “All we did was forward a tentative resolution to Barry County Zoning to not change their current mixed-use zoning,” Rook said as he quieted an applauding crowd. “Don’t get any false pretenses that [Spoor] is done or it won’t go to court. I can’t stop that stuff.” If Spoor doesn’t withdraw his text amendment, county planning and zoning will conduct a public hearing Jan. 22 at 8:30 p.m. in the Commission on Aging build­ ing in Hastings. From there ’ McManus will make a rec­ 1 ommendation to the Barry of Board County Commissioners.

The Caledonia varsity wrestlers flipped a couple of those matches in their rematch al Lake wood High School Wednesday, and flipped the final result from the opening night of the sea­ son. Caledonia topped the Vikings 36-30 Wednesday, a month after the Vikings opened the season with a 48-31 win over the Scots at the Hamilton Quad. “We are getting a little healthy. We are still not at a full line-up. but we did have some guys that we didn’t have last time on the very first day, December 6 at Hamilton, when we lost by like 20 points? Caledonia head coach Roger Singleton said, “but in a couple of those matches (in December) we got caught? Caledonia clinched Wednesday 's mach with Seth Morse at 140 pounds and Emrick Miller at 145 earning wins. Morse, who didn't wrestle in the first dual between the two teams, scored a 6-4 victory over Lakewood’s Garrett Stank who pinned his Caledonia opponent last month.

Singleton said. “I'm like, ‘you can win that match.’ He did win that match this time? Singleton was also pretty pleased with his 112-pounder Owen Norman, who improved to 13-1 on the season with a 16-1 technical fall against the Vikings’ Kanon Atwell. Lakewood head coach Bob Veitch said his guys need to continue to work to be six-minute wrestlers. The eight Viking victories in the opening dual all came by pin. Caledonia won four of the six matches that went the full six minutes Wednesday, including a couple that were tight right up to the end. Morse got his 6-4 win, but Stank had him in a headlock momentarily as the clock ticked down to 20 seconds left in the match before a misstep allowed Morse to free himself. Veitch was happy with how heavyweight Grant Clarkson battled in his 285-pound match with the Scots’ Alex Overla, but Clarkson was unable to fight off his back in the final half minute of the match. Jason Alcala got the Scots' their first points of the dual, besting Lakewood's Luke Steverson 6-2 in the 189pound match which was the third bout of the night. Lakewood got a 6-2 win by Vern Fields over Ryan Stanton in the 160-pound match, and then a quick pin form Lane Allen at 171 to lead 9-0. Jon Clack put the Vikings’ lead to 12-3 with a back-andforth 14-13 win over the Scots' Bryce Briggs at 215 pounds, with both wrestlers bumping up a weight class or two to meet up. Both guys were fighting off their back at one point or another. Clack scored a couple of reversals and five total nearfall points in the third period to pull out the victory. Caledonia took its first lead of the dual with pins from Overla in the 285pound match and Cade Graham at 103 pounds. Norman's technical fall and a 9-2 win by the Scots' Timothy Short over Tanner Newton at 119 pounds pushed the Caledonia lead to 23-12 with six bouts left. “We got some pins early in the first period, pins where we caught kids when we wrestled them the first time and then they just went flat. We knew starting at 160 wasn't where we wanted to be? Veitch said. “Their kids looked good.” Lake wood got pins from John Jackson at 125 pounds, Jon Maag at 135 pounds and Lance Childs at 152 to finish off the evening. Caledonia added four points with Jonah Siekman's 10-2 major decision against Ben Giovanetti at 130 pounds, “We have only beaten this team one time in the last ten years," Singleton said. “They always have a great, great team. I said, ‘hey, why don’t we make a little history today?' and my kids did.” The Caledonia wrestlers return to action in an OK Red Conference. dual at Grand Haven Wednesday.

That’s a question Middleville village authorities are asking area residents. A public meet­ ing is tentatively planned for 7 p.m. Jan. 25 at the village hall to discuss possible uses. Village council members had a special meeting Tuesday to talk about the train depot and how they want to handle planning for its use. They agreed a public forum would be the best way to gather input from the com­ munity. They also agreed they want to keep the building as historically accurate as possi­ ble, but not necessarily seek historical designation for the building. Doing so would require a large amount of work and possibly limit uses. Council member Jean Lamoreaux suggested the depot be renovated for future meeting space and a possible museum. She said the North Country Trail could use the space as an education center and meeting space. Others suggested the potential of having the down­ town development authority move its offices into the depot. By doing so, the building would be open more trequently with more regular hours. It could also then serve as a possible trailhead visitor center. Village manager Duane Weeks said a number of peopie and groups are interested in helping make something of the depot. I think we want to retain the historical integrity of the n buildingO’ Weeks said. “We also want to make it useful in C4’ I the community." If used as a meeting room. the depot could accommo­ date about 30 people. Renovations might include upgraded electrical services, Wi-Fi, projector and screen for presentations presentations, and upgraded restroom facilities, I think we need to go in with open minds," Weeks said. Without community support, any plan is not going to go very far or very fast." Even though village offi­ cials have suggested possible uses, they said they are inter­ ested in hearing from the public and gaining input. “We want as much input as we can get," Weeks said. The village took owner­ ship of the depot from Thornapple Township in 2017 and hopes to incorpo­ rate it into the downtown use. 44 44 Julie Makarewicz Staff Writer The discussion of medical marijuana in Thornapple Township will continue as township trustees try to determine what course they wish to follow. Trustee Ross DeMaagd told board members he believes the township should clarify its stance on medical marijuana licensing ordi­ nances in the township. A request from the township board was made to its plan­ ning commission to begin work on ordinance language that could potentially allow different licensed marijuana facilities in the township. The planning commission, however, requested more guidance from the township board before beginning what it believes would be a very process. time-consuming Planning commissioners did not want to create an entire ordinance for all types of licenses if the township board was not interested in certain practices. * DeMaagd said it’s up to the board to come up with guidelines for the planning I commission. “I am not in favor of using marijuana myself/' said DeMaagd, “but I am compas­ sionate for those who do want to use it for medical reasons.” See COMMITTEE, pg. 3 In This Issue... • TOST finds hundreds of illicit sewage discharges • TTES completes busy 2017, gears up for 2018 • Middleville residents reminded to clear sidewalks of snow • Caledonia girls take Jenison Invitational championship — �t Page 2/The Sun and News, Saturday, January 13, 2018 TTES completes busy 2017, gears up for 2018 Julie Makarewicz Staff Writer As busy as 2017 was for the Thornapple Township Fire and Emergency Medical Service, Chief Randy Eaton expects 2018 to be equally as active. Eaton gave township board members a review of 2017 activities at Monday night’s meeting as well as an update on new equipment and gear purchases planned in 2018. TTES received 1,047 calls for service in 2017 - a num­ ber Eaton admitted is down only 13 calls from the previous year. He reminded board members however, 2017 does not include calls to Yankee Springs Township, which were included in previous years. On average, the depart­ ment responded to about three calls per day for service with calls coming fairly evenly divided among the three shifts. The day shift received 390 calls, second shift received 332 calls and the third shift got 325 calls. As a department, Eaton ’ —- • indi •• ­ said’ there were -2,705 vidual responses from emer­ gency personnel to the emer­ gency calls. Of the calls, 720 were EMS calls which included 604 medical calls and H6 were medical transfers. In all there were 596 patients trans­ ferred over the year. The department sent 34 calls for service to other agencies and received calls 98 times from other agencies. Fire calls numbered 66 in Thomapple Township, 42 in Middleville and four in Irving Township. Ambulance calls numbered 162 in Thornapple Township, 325 in Middleville and 52 in Irving Township.

The township board approved spending up to $2,700 per set for 10 sets of new turnout gear for fire­ fighters. Eaton said there are 10 sets that have already expired with the oldest being a set from 2001. Eaton said “ turnout gear expires in 10 years. He told board mem­ bers the department is work­ ing on a better rotation sys­ tem of purchasing turnout gear so smaller numbers of gear can be purchase annually He said the department is also also looking looking for for grants grants to to help purchase a washer/ extractor and dryer for the department. The equipment can be used to help keep the turnout gear clean and free from dangerous chemicals. He also received approval from the board to purchase five winter coats full full­ time staff. The five coats are not to exceed $1,100. The coats are made of heavy duty reflective material so emergency workers can easily be seen.

An illicit discharge is an illegal release of sewage in which the sewage does not pass through an absorption system and/or is connected to a field tile, county drain, river, lake or other water body, BEDHD health officer Colette Scrimger said in a Jan. 9 press release. Illicit discharges are important because raw sewage needs to pass through an absorption system - usually a drainfield - before being released into groundwater. Absorption systems help to treat sewage and make it safe. “If sewage doesn’t pass through an absorption sys­ tem, it can contain bacteria, viruses and parasites that may make people sick,” she said. “This is especially bad when the untreated sewage is released directly into a body of water — like a lake or river — that people use for recreation.” Without the TOST pro­ gram, illicit discharges are rarely found and usually go undetected for years, if not decades Scrimber said. Outside of TOST, there are only two ways for health department officials to find illicit discharges. One is through public complaints; however, the health depart­ ment gets few complaints about sewage systems, she said. This could be because people don’t want to complain about their neighbors or because it is often hard for people to see or know that an illicit discharge is happening, The health department also can find illicit discharges when a sanitarian does a site visit at someone’s residence at their request, for example, so they can get a permit for a new sewage system. These visits are uncommon, though, “Unfortunately, many homeowners don’t even know if their sewage system is safe or if it could be a pub­ lic health risk,” she said. adding that if residents can flush their toilets, they might believe everything is work- This map shows all the locations with illicit discharges that were identified through the Time of Sale or Transfer program between November 2007 and August 2017. (BEDHD image) ing fine, even if it’s not. The TOST regulation has helped bring attention in our district to homeowners’ responsibility for maintain­ ing their on-site sewage sys­ tems,” Scrimger said. “So often we find that homeowners don’t know if their sys­ tems are operating as intend­ ed. Without a regulation like TOST, most homeowners wouldn't know if their systerns are working as they should be.” An example of one illicit discharge identified through TOST was at a home built in the 1950s. In 2017, the home's well and sewage systern were evaluated through TOST. For the 60 years between the time the house was built and the time of the TOST evaluation, no one ever made a complaint to the health department, and health department officials had no other reason to visit or investigate the home. Yet, because a TOST evaluation was per­ formed, a line was found connecting the septic tank directly to a nearby creek, This meant that sewage was 41 not treated in an absorption system before being released into the water. “These types of illicit sew­ age discharges into our waterways add to pollution that can cause algal blooms, hurt aquatic life, and impact recreational use,” she said. “Without the TOST regula­ tion, this home would almost certainly be continuing to pollute our shared water resources to this day - and none of us would be the wiser.” More information on TOST can be found at barryeatonhealth.org/time-saleor-transfer-program. or-transfer-program.

As part of the merger agreement, SageLink Credit Union will merge with Portland Federal Credit Union, which has applied for state charter, and will be changing its name to PFCU. The combined credit union will have total assets of $521 million and 13 branch locations, including Caledonia and Lake Odessa, and else­ where in in Kent, Ionia, Ingham, Shiawassee and Genesee counties.

In addition to the increase I of products and services offered, both parties have expressed excitement that the partnership will provide expanded convenience through a network of locations that will now incorporate the 1-69 and 1-96 corri­ dor.

The complaint against Fox’s Curley Cone filed jointly by the Lippert accused Fox of sign ordinance viola­ tions. No township action was taken, according to the complaint form. Fox accused Lippert of fil­ ing complaints against resi­ dent Dave Neeson, but was unable to find records to sup­ port her claims. Fox said the complaints represent a pat­ tern of retaliation. Fox had requested to be put on the agenda, but instead was listed under public com­ ment, which has a three-min­ ute limit per person. Fox was allowed to speak at further length. She charged Lippert with withholding pertinent FOIA material, leading her to implicate Lippert of malfea­ sance of office. “Our clerk is supposed to act in our best interest,” Fox said. “We are starving in our community for nice busi­ nesses that help our commu­ nity look great.” Fox reiterated her invest­ ment in the community, underscoring how she and her business have benefited the township. “And this is what I get? You’ve got to be kidding me,” she said. “What is hap­ pening here is corruption • • • and I for one am not going to take it anymore.” Fox demanded Lippert resign, otherwise face legal action from Fox and her attorney. “I will do anything within my power to make sure that you don’t have this opportu­ nity to deny our citizens of information that they right­ fully deserve, and use your Jack Robert Grizzle Jack Robert Grizzle, 74, passed away Friday, Jan. 5, 2018 at Borgess Hospital in Kalamazoo.

He went on to serve in the Army during Vietnam War. After coming home, he went to Ferris State Univer­ sity and received a degree in Pharmacy. He is survived by his wife Nancy, and their six children, Taylor, Katelyn, Landon,Cassidy, Makenna, and Daw­ son.

Lippert gave no response, but informed Fox she would contact her own attorney. She declined request for comment. Trustee Mike Boysen asked if anything other than Lippert’s resignation would appease Fox. “Janice has been here a long time, and has done a lot of good work, and we all make mistakes,” Boysen said. “It seems like there’s a possibility for a compromise.” Fox said nothing short of Lippert’s resignation would placate her, and claimed Lippert’s removal would benefit the community, “I care about the greater good,” Fox said. “I know that I’m not the only person this has happened to.” Fox’s allegations sparked board debate over conduct and policy. Earlier in the eve­ ning, the board voted to bar remote listening and conversation of board meetings unless the remote speaker/ listener is a board member or is included on the agenda. The motion came in response to Greg Purcell’s request to listen to the meet­ ing via telephone. VandenBerg cautioned Downtown Hastings 104 E.

Purcell said he called strictly for informational purposes. The motion passed 3-2, with Treasurer Alice Jansma and Lippert casting dissent­ ing votes. . Barry County Drain Commissioner Jim Dull made a personal appeal to the board for full reinstatement of Englerth’s supervi­ sory duties. Dull acknowledged last year’s resolution stripping Englerth of several supervisory duties, including his role as township spokesper­ son. “I think it’s a mistake,” Dull said. Englerth was pivotal in the completion of the Cuddy Drain and other projects throughout Yankee Springs, Dull said. “That tells me he’s a phe­ nomenal resource for this township.” Dull said. Dull said he typically reaches out to the township supervisor when addressing drain issues in a township. Because of Englerth’s board-mandated restrictions, Dull said he foresaw a likely communication problem between his office and Yankee Springs. “I would ask this board to reinstate [Englerth] as the spokesman,” he said. “I hate to see a fractured board.” Dull called on board mem­ bers to set aside their differ­ ences and respect each other while operating within their elected positions, Boysen considered the reasoning behind the limiting resolution mystifying. If an elected official doesn't effec­ tively execute his or her office, the official can be ousted in an election, he said Boysen sided with VandenBerg, who has been against the limiting resolu­ tion. “He is the voice of the township, he is the supervisor, and he needs that voice back,” VandenBerg said. “We took that authority from him, and we had no reason to do this.” VandenBerg made a motion to rescind the resolution and reinstate Englerth’s full supervisory duties. The motion was seconded by Boysen, and passed 4-1, with Lippert casting the dissent­ ing vote. & ■ V । A $ ''i Jun1 The Village of Freeport Ordinance No._ 50__ W' MU ORDINANCE TO PROVIDE FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF THE VILLAGE TREASURER Enitai The Village Treasurer shall serve a four-year term and may be reappointed by the Village Council upon the completion of each four-year term.

As of January 16, 2018, the agreement between the HDPC the City of Hastings will terminate. The HDPC will no longer be responsible for the maintenance of the park, the education of public regarding the park, the enforcement of the Dog Park Rules, or any other responsibilities set-forth in the existing Agreement. The City essentially agreed to allow the HDPC to be an independent contractor to care the Dog Park and sent notice that they no longer desire for HDPC’s services. The HDPC plans to re-open and operate a Dog Park at a new location in Barry County. According to the City, the current location of the Dog Park will not close and will be operated by the City. The comments made by the Mayor regarding donations seem to show a misunderstanding of how donations to a charity works. For example, if the Rotary Club has an operating agreement with the city to operate the concessions at the Music Plaza, the charity may purchase food and drinks to stock the concession stand. To purchase the concession items, the charity use the monetary donations that they have previously received. If the city abruptly terminates the agreement with the Rotary Club, the food and drinks don’t belong to the city, they remain the property of the charity. Nor can a donor, after making a donation to a charity, call the charity and tell the entity how to spend the funds. The Hastings Dog Park Companions is a 501(c)(3) charity registered with the IRS. Monetary donations made the charity, that were not made with an expressly stated intent at the time of donation, were and are under the control of the HDPC. The HDPC and the City are looking for anyone that donated physical items to the park, such as bricks or benches. If you donated a physical item please contact the HDPC at the email below or to the City of Hastings and express in writing your intent for the physical item. The HDPC members take no personal gain from any donations. Yearly filings are made with the IRS. All donations and funds are kept in a HDPC only bank account. ■ We, nor the City of Hastings, have any affiliation to the page titled “Hastings Dog Park Discussions’’ and advise that misinformation is often posted on this page.

Revenue sharing was up Christian Yonkers • -*• —■*- Staff Writer As hundreds of millions of dollars flow through the slot machines and gaming tables at the Gun Lake Casino, some of the winnings are accidentally left behind. That money is deposited into a special fund, which the Gun Lake Tribe used to fund $20,000 worth of donations to three local charities, tribe officials said. “Basically, it’s money that’s displaced in some way that remains at the casino and is not technically the proper­ ty of another patron, guest, or the casino itself,’’ said James Nye, a spokesman for the tribe. The tribe recently donated the orphaned money to three charities, including $10,000 to the National Indian Child Welfare Association, $5,000 to the Allegan-based Safe Harbor Children’s Advocacy 24 percent this past year. Shares are determined by a state contract allocating 2 percent of the casino’s slot machine revenue in exchange for exclusive gaming rights within the casino's nine-county market area, Last Last year, year, the state received $4.73 million in shared revenue, with $2.12 million going to local gov­ ernments and schools. The tribe's local economic devel­ opment entity received $ 1.42 million in shares. Increased revenue sharing was attributed to recent casi­ no expansion. The expansion included additional slot machines, a high-stakes gam­ ing room, expanded dining areas and a parking ramp. “The tribe’s reinvestment of $76 million into the casino has paid off for tribal citizens, our team members and the community,” said tribal chairman Scott Sprague. ■ » - • • ft I The Thomapple Kellogg varsity wrestling team swept another OK Gold/Green Quad Wednesday, picking up an OK Gold Conference vic­ tory over Grand Rapids Christian and also scoring a two-point non-conference victory over Unity Christian.

The board split its vote on the decision to accept the resignation, but unanimously accepted conditions of sepa­ ration which recognized Rodriguez’ resignation. “I think it’s fair to say there were those on the board who were in disagreement with his decision to step down,” said Kent ISD Superintendent Ron Caniff. Caniff will sit in as acting superintendent until the board finds a replacement. The separation agreement laid out the terms of sever­ ance benefits and vacation days, according to Caniff. Rodriguez sent a dis- ation and personal reflection, I have decided to resign as the superintendent of Caledonia Community Schools,” he wrote.

Various commercommer­ cial, vacant property, resiresi­ dential , and state parks parcel types are allotted differing use benefits. Benefit units range from one quarter unit for back lot parcels to 200 for water front campsites. “One of the biggest payers is the DNR,” said Dull. Normally, state entities are exempt from assessment districts. Under a special water act, however, the DNR was required to pay into the assessment district, just as other lakeside residents. The state park will be assessed $6,020.41 compared to $60.20 for lakefront residential. All assessments are one­ time. The newest assessment roll was based on the $270,700 cost to replace the dam, which was significantly lower than the original $300,000 price tag.

The village purchased the property and demolished the bait shop building last year with plans to build a new structure. The overall plan is to lease out space in the new facility for recreational businesses to offer possibly tub­ ing, canoeing or kayaking on the river. There will also be public restrooms added to the site. . The village’s next step will be obtaining a topographical survey to deter- mine location of the flood plain and where the new building should be located. A preliminary plan for a new building on the site from Flies and VandenBrink esti­ mates the cost at $368,900. Adding an outdoor covered amphitheater with tiered seating is an estimated additional $110,000. Another alternate is to have the com- RESIGNS, continued from page plete interior of the facility finished as well at an estimated cost of $40,000. If both add-ons are included, the cost of the project swells to $518,900. The building is proposed to be about 1300 square feet with space for more than one tenant, public restrooms and storage space. The DDA board members approved continuing work­ ing with Flies and VandenBrink at a cost of $32,500 to continue working on plans and going out for bids on the project, board DDA member Charlie Pullen said he had concerns about the project and said he felt there were several additional costs not included in the proposed plan including sidewalks, storm sewer connections and more. “There are conflicts here that I’m not comfortable with,” he said. Other members said they want to keep the project moving and believe those issues can be addressed as plans become more complete. All agreed that the topographical survey needs to be the first step to be taken. From there, DDA members said they want Flies and VandenBrink to continue preparing plans and cost esti­ mates for the project includ­ ing the amphitheater. * mine that relationships in the workplace were damaged” Caniff said. The board plans to imple­ ment greater diversity and inclusion in the district work­ place. Caniff anticipates oversee­ ing Caledonia Schools in the coming weeks or months until the board can appoint an interim superintendent. The interim superintendent will oversee the district for the remainder of the school year until the board finds a permanent replacement. “Great things are going on at Caledonia Community Schools,” said Caniff. “There’s a very talented administrative team here, extremely talented and dedi­ cated teachers, and very sup­ portive parents.” Caniff hopes to serve as a resource to the staff and administration as the district makes the difficult transition, “I want to allow everyone to take a breath, and give the time the board needs to find a suitable interim,” he said. He’s confident the district will only be stronger once the administration makes it out of the woods. “I think everyone acknowledges that this is an unfortunate situation for all involved” Canniff stated, “but I’m confident that Caledonia Schools remains a great place for kids and education. cation.”” Rodriguez served the disdis­ trict trictfor for 14 14years yearsas asCaledonia Caledonia Elementary School principal, curriculum curriculum director and assistant assistant superintendent before being hired as superintendent. I -T'- .IkiW • 1 IK CT I f • Public forum planned to discuss depot’s future Julie Makarewicz Staff Writer Middleville's downtown development authority offices could relocate to the train depot if a proposal from the DDA is approved by the village council. But village leaders may get a lot of sug­ gestions for the depot’s future at a special communi­ ty forum at 7 p.m. Jan. 25 in the village hall. During the forum, the pub­ lic will be allowed to share input on how they think the depot should be used. One proposal will come from the DDA, whose board members approved pitching the idea of moving its offices to the depot at its meeting Tuesday night. The village acquired the depot last year from Thornapple Township and officials hope to incorporate it with overall plans for the downtown area and continued development along the river. Village officials said they want to hear ideas from the public about possible uses for the building before mak­ ing any decisions about future uses. DDA coordinator Mike Schmidt said with the addi­ tion of an event coordinator, there is not enough office space space in in the the village village hall hall for for the DDA. Moving to the depot would provide the much-needed space, he said, as well as allow the building to be open during normal business hours so people can stop in and see the historic depot. It also can be used as a welcoming center and be open without relying on vol­ unteer staffing. A portion of the depot could be used for DDA office space while the large main open area can be used as the welcoming center or museum, he said. Village officials said they are open to suggestions, but they would like to maintain as much of the historical character of the building as possible. They may decide not to seek registering the depot as an official historic site imply because of the limitations the designation can put on use and renovations to a building. DDA board members approved submitting the idea to the village council at the public forum. K. A.

Karen Beck of the Lions Club gave a presentation to the DDA Tuesday to bring the American Veterans Traveling Wall to Middleville in late June and early July. The traveling wall is a repli­ ca of the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington, D.C. At 360 feet long and eight feet tall, the replica is 80 per­ cent of the memorial in Washington, D.C.. It travels around the countries bearing all the names of Vietnam vet­ erans. Beck said the purpose for bringing the wall to Middleville is to honor and remember those who served and educate younger genera­ tions about Vietnam. “A lot of families can't afford to go to Washington, D.C., and see the memorial,” said Beck. “This is a way to bring this to our area and let our families see it up close.” Beck reported that the Lions Club hopes to bring the memorial to Middleville June 30 through July 2 at a total cost of about $8,000. who fought in the Vietnam War, service members who died in service in Vietnam/ South East Asia and mem­ bers who are missing in action. The memorial in Washington consists of three parts: the Vietnam memorial wall, the Three Servicemen Memorial and the Vietnam Women's Memorial. The memorial wall was dedicated in 1982 and is made up of two long walls etched with the names of the servicemen who died or were missing in action. The wall currently contains 58,318 names of service members who died in the war or miss­ ing in action between Nov. 1, 1955, and May 15, 1975. Visitors often make rub­ bings of the names of family or friends found on the wall. Guests to the Traveling Wall will be able to do the same. She She told told DDA DDA board board memmem­ bers bers the the club club needs needs $4,000 $4,000 as as a down payment to secure the dates for the wall. Lions Club members said they are confident they can raise the remaining funds needed, but don’t have the initial $4,000 down payment. Club mem­ bers said they intend to also seek financial assistance from the village council and possibly Thornapple Township as well. Beck said the Lions Club is not certain yet where the wall will be placed if it is brought to Middleville. A large area that can be lit and guarded the entire time it is in place is needed. She said the Lions Club is still consid­ ering options but would like to have it somewhere in the downtown area to encourage visitors to visit downtown. “It is a big draw," Beck said. “People come from all over to see the wall.” DDA member Lew Russ said he’s been to the wall when it came to Kentwood a few years ago. “It’s really something special,” he said, The DDA board members approved a $1,500 donation to help with the event.

Ann Ulberg will continue serving as chairperson and Mike Lytle will continue as vice chairperson. Sheryl Ayriss resigned her position as treasurer since she also submitted her resignation on the board. She has served at least nine years on the DDA board and said she needs time to focus on other areas. “I've loved being part of the DDA,” said Ayriss. who added that she has learned a lot from being on the board. Since the full board was not at Tuesday’s meeting and there are now two open seats, the decision was made to delay electing a new treasur- er until new appointments are made and a full board is meeting. In other business, the DDA established a mission state­ ment and set goals for 2018. The mission statement approved reads, “The Middleville Downtown Development Authority, in collaboration with local, public and private entities, strives to take meaningful action to ensure maximum economic growth and development, historic preservation and revitalization, and to serve the community through a wide range of resources and grant opportunities.” Goals set for 2018 include: • Creating and approving the mission statement. • Branding and logo for the DDA • Appointing new ■■■ Julie Makarewicz Staff Writer A 40-year-old Shelbyville woman could face up to five years in prison after pleading no contest Wednesday in Barry County Circuit Court to a charge of leaving the scene of an accident causing serious injury.

The teams did well enough to be named “alliance” teams in the competition. This is the first time the high school has sent two teams to the Vex competi­ tion. The second team was made possible with a state Girl Powered grant to help purchase a second robot kit and create the all-girl team. For the contest, teams had to build robots and program them to navigate a course collecting and stacking cones along the way. The TK students gained some assistance preparing for the contest from engineers from Challenge Manufacturing in Walker. Collin Miller was the only returning member from last year on the boy's team. The teams have been meeting and working on their robots after school since October to be ready for competition. There were more than 50 teams competing at the Jenison tournament including teams from West Michigan Aviation Academy, Jenison, Caledonia, Kenowa Hills, Hudsonville Grandville, Dewitt, Battle Creek, Belding and some homeschool teams. jjHJ® ft 1 frls ai'ilsst sa j fe r* • IO li £ ii j taita Julias r» kI ¥ 1 ’v TK girls robotics team members carefully watch and cheer as their robot makes its •w « * �The Sun and News.

I think we could do something pretty cool with it.” Bushman asked the council to consider donating the property to the Lions Club, In exchange, the Lions Club would provide the space for use by community groups and organizations. “I just want you to think about it before you decide what to do with the property,” said Bushman. He said he knows there are structural issues with the building, but thinks the Lions Club can turn the facility into something useful. Bushman added that there are several Lions Club members with construction experience and he would like the opportunity to tour the building and get a better idea of what would have to be done. The Lions Club has worked hard with the village on a lot of different projects Robert E. Evans MIDDLEVILLE. MI - Ev Robert E.

"We have big aspirations and we think this is a good place to start.” Council member Phil Van Noord said he likes the idea, but cautioned there are still a lot of unknowns and the council will have to talk about those issues and chailenges.

So, before you start making decisions about your payments, you’ll want to know what questions to ask. Here are a few' to consider: How soon can I start col­ lecting Social Security? You can begin receiving Social Security as early as age 62. However, your payments, as well as the survivor benefits payable to your spouse, will be significantly lower than if you wait until your full retirement age, which is like­ ly to be between 66 and 67. Can I wait until I’m past fuli retirement age to begin collecting payments? Yes. Your monthly benefits will continue to rise until you reach 70, at which point they will max out. Which is better: taking smaller payments for more years, or larger payments for fewer years? There’s no simple answer to this question. If you are in 3 ood health and have a fami­ ly history of longevity, you may decide it’s worth your while to wait as long as pos­ sible before collecting bene­ fits. Also, if you enjoy work­ ing and don’t immediately need the Social Security pay- ments, you may choose to wait. On the other hand, if your health is questionable, or if you would rather retire than continue working, you might want to start taking payments earlier. And. of course, if you simply need the money to help support yourself, you may not be able to wait. Additionally, don’t forget potential impli­ cations for your spouse. Since the survivor benefit is based on the size of your retirement benefit, it may make sense to delay and maximize your retirement benefit, which could help provide the maximum benefit for your surviving spouse, If I’m still employed when I begin _ taking_ Social ~ 1 !Security, will my monthly checks be reduced? If you’re working, and you start collectin benefits before you reach full retirement age, your payments could be reduced if you earn more than the Social Security earnings limits, which are adjusted each year. Once you pass your full retirement age, though, you can earn as much as you like without your payments having reduced (although they could still be taxed), Will I be taxed on my Social Security benefits? Social Security benefits can be taxable at any age, whether you're employed or not. To understand your tax liability, consult with your tax advisor. claim Social Can I Security benefits based on my spouse’s earnings? Yes, you may be eligible for Social Security benefits based on your spouse’s earn­ ings and Social Security record. This benefit is avail­ able if your full retirement benefit is less than half of your spouse’s full retirement benefit. The spousal benefit is only available if your spouse has already filed for benefits. These aren’t all the questions you may need to ask about Social Security, but they can give you a good idea of what you should know before taking action. So, take your time, get the advice vou professional you need, and make the right You’ve contributed tchoices. ______ _________________ to Social Security your entire working life, so you’ve earned the right to maximize your benefits, This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor 1 I I1 r* ■ ■L 0 I <1 1 * t i I AN ■ * A * L 'J in®* *s Kaylie Cross, Adam Lozada, Erik Cove and Marlee Shuford are pictured with Page Elementary music teacher Katrina Deters as they try out the new ukuleles purchased for the school through a Youth Advisory Council grant written by Erik Cove, Students learn to strum ukuleles For years, Thornapple play something else,” he Kellogg elementary students said. “We've always played have played the recorder in the recorders.” The schools purchased 40 music classes, But this year, thanks . _ to a ukuleles.

Some of the new books are written in both Spanish and English. Librarian Cindy Brooks said there are a growing number of Spanish-speaking families in the district. Many times, even if the students speak English, parents do not and cannot read books from the library to their young children. Lee students wrote a grant to the Barry County Youth Advisory Council and received nearly $800 in funds to purchase books. Now, Brooks said, the ;students ‘ ‘have the option ‘ of“ reading in Spanish or English, She said it's good for the parents to be able to read to their children, but also be able to begin learning English.

Court-Appointed Special Advocates are highly trained volunteers who are sworn officers of the court appoint­ ed by the judge to advocate for a child or sibling group in the foster care system for the duration of their court case. Volunteers visit the children weekly, advocate for their needs and help make sure they receive permanent placement in a loving home. The need for volunteer advocates for foster children has risen in the past year as Barry County courts contin­ ue to refer every incoming I - case of abuse and neglect for a volunteer advocate. CASA maintains an active waiting list for children without an advocate. Volunteers must be 21, pass criminal background screens and a central registry clearance, and go through 30 hours of training prior to being sworn in for service. Once appointed to a case, the volunteer visits the child or sibling group on a weekly basis, meets with other involved adults, teachers and caseworkers; submits a writwrit­ ten report for court hearings; and provides court testimony. The volunteer advocates for the child’s needs and for per per-­ - the most approappro­ manency — priate safe, loving, perma­ nent home. CASA is currently recruit­ ing for the spring new-volunteer training series scheduled to begin in late February. More information about how to get more involved is available by calling the CASA office, 269-818-5868 or visuing the website casaforkidsinc.org A child whose case recent­ ly closed said, “My CASA means the world to me!

Consummate events such as the legendary polar dip, Gun Lake Idol and the beer tent are returning in force, with exciting new events on the agenda to serve up some winter fun. The festival will kick off Feb. 17 at the Gun Lake State Park in Yankee Springs Township. Parking and admission are free. Beer and food will be combined under one tent, with additional brewers providing craft beers for adult festival-goers. The popularity of the chili cook-off has led area restau­ rants to submit their own secret recipes against private submissions. Horse-drawn carriages will tour the festival grounds, and a magician and addition­ al kids games will be added for family fun. “We’re trying to make this •fp • Uy L % • ' to event for both kids and adults,” said planning com­ mittee member Monte Baker. “We try to have a good variety of activities for both.” Last year’s Winterfest was an uproarious success. Some 3,000 cars were counted in the parking lot. Even with conservative estimates of two people per car, that puts the visitor count at 6,000. “We had such a success last year from the previous year,” Baker said. “It kind of took us by surprise how big of ot a turnout we had.” Baker said he anticipates the same turnout for this year. Fifty volunteers worked tirelessly to man the event and ensure a blast for all. But if there’s anything the committee learned from 2017, it’s the need for more man­ power. “We definitely need more volunteers,” Baker said.

Baker, Bruce Higgins, Kim Bedford and Liz Roscoe head the committee. “This is not a one-person job,” Baker said. “All four of us make the decisions.” The official schedule is still in the works. Regardless of the weather, Winterfest 2018 is sure to be a cool addition to break the winter blues.

Colton Anderson, 22, of Plainwell was sentenced Jan. 18 in Allegan County 57th District Court to 60 days in jail, $30,250 in reimburse­ ment to the state and the loss of hunting privileges for seven years. The investigation began when Conservation Officer Richard Cardenas received information about an illegal­ ly killed deer in Barry County. Officer Cardenas went to Anderson’s residence and observed multiple sets of deer antlers hanging in the garage. The antlers had 2015 deer licenses attached to them, according to a Jan. 22 press release. After obtaining a search warrant, Cardenas and fel­ low Conservation Officer Justin Ulberg searched Anderson’s garage and seized an 11-point, fivepoint, seven-point and five eight-point sets of antlers. The licenses attached to the antlers belonged to people who the who were were not not living living at at the residence. Cardenas contacted the individuals who purchased the 2015 licenses, and all claimed they were unaware that Anderson was illegally using their licenses. Anderson’s hunting privileges already had been revoked after a 2014 conviction of illegally killing a deer with a rifle in Allegan County, Cardenas requested the Allegan County Prosecutor's Office charge Anderson for hunting while his privileges were revoked, using another person's person ’s kill tags, and five counts for each violation of taking more than the legal limit of antlered deer. The prosecutor's autho-­ prosecutor ’s office autho rized the charges, and a war war-­ for rant was issued Anderson’s arrest. “The success of this case is due to the dedication and in-depth investigative work of Conservation Officer Cardenas,” said Sgt. Christopher Holmes, acting area law supervisor for the DNR. “Michigan conservation officers are well-versed in law enforcement investigative skills and techniques. The work done by officers Cardenas and Ulberg is an outstanding example of these capabilities. We also appreciate the public’s assistance with this case. The willing­ ness of citizens to get involved and alert the DNR when they have information is critical. Our partnership with the public helps us pro­ tect our shared resources and hold violators accountable.” The Michigan Hunting and Trapping Guide contains all of the information hunters should know before taking to the field, such as regulations, season dates and bag limits.

He again said the amendment is necessary to pave the way for contin­ ued operation and growth of established marinas through­ out the county. Current zon­ ing bars them from expand­ ing landside or dockside, he said, citing conversations between himself and McManus. After Spoor’s statements, county commissioner Ben Geiger asked why Spoor didn’t provide more thor­ ough answers on the text amendment application. “There are seven ques­ tions, and you have provided 10 words, in total, as justifi­ cation of this text amend­ ment,” he said, Spoor’s application in hand. Question 3 asked if the text amendment would cre­ ate any foreseen negative impacts on adjacent proper­ ties. Spoor answered “None.” Another question asked the applicant to outline any possible problems the amendment may pose for adjacent properties. Spoor answered “No, none seen.” Spoor declined to provide detailed answers to Geiger’s questions without his attorney. McManus said the amend­ ment could potentially affect hundreds of mixed-use properties throughout the county. It was the opinion of several commissioners that the planning commission recom­ mend denying the amend­ ment until there is substan­ tive evidence it is actually needed^ The planning commission voted unanimously to recom­ mend the board of commis­ sioners deny the amendment. “Marinas that exist as non­ conforming grandfathered may continue in that capacity,” McManus said in a later interview. He was hesitant to confirm claims Spoor made at the hearing as accurate. Likewise, he was not com­ fortable confirming Spoor's recalled conversations with himself completely to the letter. “Some of his quote-unquote ‘quotes’ I'm not sure I would say are quotes, but I’ll leave it at that,” McManus said. If a grandfathered marina applied to the DEQ for dock expansion, it might run into an issue, McManus said. As of recently, no one but Spoor has applied for dock expan­ sion. McManus has met with Spoor periodically to discuss options to expand his business. McManus said the county has yet to determine the level of nonconformity of Spoor’s existing docks. The county, he said, has request­ ed documentation from Spoortotoestablish establishhis hisproperproper­ Spoor tv ty’s’s historic historic marina marina use use but but has yet to receive any requested information. “Nobody’s in danger of putting in docks this year,” McManus said of existing grandfathered marinas. “Those docks are grandfa­ thered nonconforming, and they’ve been there a long time. That’s not an issue.” In a separate interview, Kevin Matteson of Matteson Marine said Spoor's text amendment doesn't pertain to his business. “He doesn't really know what he's talking about,” Matteson said of Spoor’s claims. . Matteson was confident he will continue operating with­ out Spoor’s amendment. “We've been here an awful long time doing what we’re doing, keeping our nose clean,” Matteson said. “I've been reassured that every­ thing is fine and nothing is changing for us. Bay Pointe Inn owner Mike Powers said they have never been approached by state or county officials warning them of noncompliance. “We don’t offer any mari­ na services and don’t rent boat slips to non-guests for the season like a typical marina,” Powers said. Powers was confident Bay Pointe’s riparian facilities will run business as usual in the summer. “Right out of the gate, the text amendment doesn’t affect me,” Spoor said in a follow-up interview, He confirmed his master plan is again changing and does not include a full-service marina. He is contractually obligated to not divulge specifics, citing other stakeholders involved in the plan. He said he plans to release details of his new master plan in the coming weeks. Plans to construct a multi-story office and retail building may still be in the works, he said. He wasn’t willing to state the number of Residents applaud the planning commission’s decision to recommend denying Lucas Spoor’s text amendment, docks he will put out for this season. “At this point, I don’t know if I'm going to continue any additional construc­ tion on the docks,” Spoor said. With the work done to submit the amendment request, Spoor considered it a good-neighbor policy to go through with the amendment. His new plan will not be con­ tingent on the text amend­ ment. “It will not affect my mas­ ter plan,” he said. Spoor conceded Matteson Marine may continue to operate within grandfathered capacity.

Lippert, Clerk Yankee Springs Township * A * I JI �on Oarie Drive before the commission planning Monday. The proposed 9,000-square-foot facility would host large events up to 250 people. Five two-story cottages would provide additional lodging for Bay Pointe patrons. Powers claimed the devel­ opment would alleviate traf­ fic congestion while provid­ ing additional space for his booming business. Bay Pointe is extremely limited on parking, Powers said. His proposal would allow an additional 185 park­ ing slips. Oarie Drive, a pri­ vate road, would be widened and paved, according to the plans. Bay Pointe has expanded 10 percent annually and 30 percent over the past two years, hosting more than 300 events in 2017, Powers told the planning commission. He attributed the growth to social media ratings and high-quality venues. The planned unit develop­ ment would create an addi­ tional conference center for the winter and fall seasons to expand business for Bay Pointe, allowing revenue streams to continue yearround. Powers said addition­ al indoor facilities would not only contribute to Bay Pointe’s bottom line but would help stimulate the I local economy. “We will accommodate and relieve our social and corporate event pressure, and we will relieve our parkin: pressure that we have right now, now,"” he said. Demand has eclipsed his current facility’s carrying capacity, Powers said, caus­ ing him to turn down dozens of events each year. He said he hopes the expansion would expand event capacity, alleviate local complaints and stimulate the local econ­ omy. Powers said he hires local contractors for building expansion, and works hard to hire local labor for his staff. The planning commission invited the public to speak, and hands shot up across the room. Joe Farley recalled prom­ ises made by Powers, primarily those assuring Bay Pointe developments wouldn't affect local proper­ ty values. Farley recounted Powers' guests trespassing across his yard, excessive noise and unruly behavior from a parking lot adjacent to his property. He and others said guests used neighboring driveways for parking and turning around. Problems were exacerbated by the outdoor concert series Gun Lake Live, Farley said. He said when he warned A BONI people to leave his property, they became confrontational. The properties purchased by Powers are designed for low-intensity housing, Farley continued. Opening the par­ cel for such purposes would open the door for unlimited development potential contrary to the community’s character and feel. “Where does it end?” he said. “This project seems absurd considering where he wants to build. It does not take into consideration homes surrounding his property ” Parking and noise would be a nightmare, he added. Powers has a good business, Farley said in closing, but southern Gun Lake is not the place for Powers' proposed expansion. “Tonight, I strand with my neighbors voicing our con­ cerns against approval of this proposed expansion,” Sara Bronson told the planning commission. Bronson cited the county zoning ordinance, Article 1, Section 101, which outlines the purpose of county zoning to support the community’s interests and welfare and protect the rural landscape of the county (the complete county zoning ordinance can be found at barrycounty.org/ adopted-ordinance-72508with-maps.pdf). “Our safety is not being taken into consideration with this expansion,” she said, cit­ ing examples of intoxicated Bay Pointe patrons trespass­ ing and causing trouble. “Summer 2017 went too far, and we don’t want it again this year," she said. Jake Bronson argued the ecological impact of devel­ oping the property would devastate the flora and fauna that thrive in the parcel’s empty field and nearby woods. Bronson also told of cars parking in his driveway, bar­ ring him from leaving his residence. “Bay Pointe has their own agenda, and it does not include keeping their neigh­ bors and community happy,” he said, urging the planning commission to deny the request. Numerous speakers saw a pattern of bait-and-switch promises as a pretext for Powers' ongoing develop­ ments. They warned the planning commission to see Mike Powers’ planned unit development would alter Oarie Drive, establishing a 9,000-square-foot venue, 185 parking slips, five rental cottages and improving the roadway. the proposal as yet another chapter in Powers’ pattern, urging them to break the cycle before it’s too late. “This is not South Haven, this isn’t Disney World,” another speaker said. “This is a mostly rural community.” Some speakers who live on the other side of Gun Lake said they can hear and feel the music emanating from Gun Lake Live and other events. John Beck, who lives next to the Gun Lake Live venue and is an outspoken critic of Bay Pointe, said Powers consistently lied about receiving multiple complaints filed by neighbors. Beck also said Powers’ claims of creating jobs is unfounded, stating there are more than enough local jobs to keep area residents employed without Bay Pointe’s expansion. “This was a nice neighbor­ hood, and good people, until the event started up," Beck said. “It’s a nightmare, because it doesn’t stop " Beck denied Powers’ claim of openness to the community and strict polic­ ing of events, using numer­ ous phone calls and personal meetings with Powers as evi­ dence. • Jeff Schmidt, who hunts property abutting the pro­ posed planned unit develop­ ment, foresees his hunting opportunities decimated if Powers develops the lot. Other speakers argued fervently that paving Oarie Drive and expanding facili­ ties would only exacerbate the problem of noise and congestion, not alleviate it. “Growth is fine to an extent, but there has to be a time when you stop and con­ sider that there will be no more green space for future generations,” said Linda Ribble. “More cement, asphalt, brick and mortar - is that really what we want for this area?” Ribble said once a green space is developed, it is lost forever. She urged the county to leam from overdeveloped areas that have run out of green space, and institute a balanced approach to plan­ ning and zoning in Barry County to protect both natu­ ral resources and businesses. Several residents spoke in favor of Bay Pointe’s expan­ sion. Bay Pointe, they argued, is as a great addition to the community, offerin dining and entertainment options for area residents. “It's a place for families and friends to come togeth­ er,'' said one speaker, who did not provide his name. Gun Lake has never been a quiet lake up north, it never has. It’s loud.” He pointed out the many sources of noise across Gun Lake, from jet skis and fishing boats to Gun Lake Live and campfires, “Noise is a part of Gun Lake, it’s part of our culture,” he said in defense of Powers. “It’s part of what we leam to accept.” Bay Pointe also contrib­ utes to the local economy and tax base, he said, driving growth for area businesses. Gun Lake business owner Julie Fox spoke in favor of Bay Pointe's expansion, stressing the importance of investing in destination busi­ nesses to drive the local economy. “The Gun Lake area is just dying for area businesses that can stay open all year long," she said. “We need businesses like Bay Pointe in our community because it feeds every business there.” With time down to the wire, the planning commis­ sion tabled the discussion, postponing its recommendation until the Feb. 27 meeting. In all, 13 speakers were in opposition to Powers’ development, five were in support, Powers responded to Monday's public hearing in a separate interview. “One of our primary con­ cerns going into 2018 is increasing security and safety for our guests and neigh­ bors,” he said. We have many new policies and pro­ cedures going into this new year that are really going to address most of those issues that were brought up [Monday].” New parking and renting policies will disallow for last summer's grievances to rear their heads in 2018, he said. Powers said many of Monday’s allegations sur­ rounded the Gun Lake Live concerts last summer. The lessons have been learned, he * Il • • • ll said, and changes will be implemented to make sure summer 2018 only makes for better neighbors and good times. “We’ve updated totally different policies and proce­ dures this year addressing the parking situation, noise, and also some of the other concerns regarding inflow and outflow of people visit­ ing our property,” he said. To start, Powers said he plans to hire additional security guards to monitor events, including weekend activities. Outside speakers are being removed from the BoatHouse Villa, and Powers’ staff will take music levels out of the control of performers and DJs. Coupled with a strict 11 p.m. shutdown time, Powers said that should turn down the volume on southern Gun Lake. “I'm convinced that alone is going to make a significant difference," he said. Powers gave some cre­ dence to complaints over music volume. He said he is taking the issue head on, and is working with his staff to better handle complaints. “The neighbors said they had contacted the front desk, and obviously, the front desk or our management team didn’t handle it in a satisfactory fashion,” Powers admitted. “Everyone knows now that we have to keep open lines of communication to me when there is a neighbor who’s displeased." The BoatHouse Villa is Bay Pointe's only venue available for weddings and parties, Powers said. Movin; large events to the Oarie Drive venue would reduce lakeshore pressure and pre­ vent traffic congestion to and from his lakeside properties. In a letter to Powers, Sheriff Dar Leaf reported the sheriff’s department received one noise complaint regard­ ing Bay Pointe activities in 2017. Leaf reported no fur­ ther incidences. .

The Chargers, ranked fifth in the state in Class C, went on a 10-0 run over the final five minutes of the third quarter, hit four threes in the first four minutes of the fourth quarter, and added a couple free throws and another bucket to power the 24-point swing. Covenant Christian hand­ ed Caledonia its sixth straight defeat, ultimately finish off a 53-48 victory in the non-con­ ference match-up. “We got caught up in the second half. We talked at halftime that in the second half they’re going to ramp the pressure up," Caledonia head coach Phil Visser said.

Our goal is 12 a game or less, so we’re right on pace and then we turned the ball over 13 times in the second half because they ramped the pressure up.” The Chargers got 15 points from Nathan Minderhoud and 12 each from Tyler Cammenga and Carson Meulenberg in the bailgame. Cammenga hit four three-pointers for his 12 points. Covenant Christian turned the ball over a few times too in what turned into a hectic second half. The Scots didn't shoot as well as the Chargers in the second half. “That was probably the best first half we've played all year, effort, ball move­ ment, cutting, being aggres­ sive," Visser said. We tried to go right at Meulenberg on their team and get him in foul. He got two fouls in the first half and I told the guys, way to be coachable, way to go at him. Get him on the bench and it's a much easier game when he’s not in there. Meulenberg, a 6-6 senior forward who helped Covenant Christian to a state runner-up finish in Class C a year ago, had nine points in the fourth quarter. Caledonia got 13 points from Andrew Taylor, 12 from Luke Thelen and nine from Caleb Bronkema in the loss. Max Dion added eight points for the Scots.

A breakaway dunk by the Sailor* Conner Kok put hit team up 16 points in the opening moment* of the sec­ ond half, but the Thomapple Kellogg boys battled back to even the ballgame at 35 35 with three and a half minutes to go in the fourth quarter. Scjuth Christian guards Kok and Ixike Schrotenbrxrr were able to get to the basket for buckets a couple times over the final few minutes though, and the Sailors were a perfect 6-of 6 at the free throw line in the final minute of action. After falling behind by 16 point*. TK clawed back to within ten points by the end of the third quarter at 35 25. Brady Zellmer hit a triple in the opening minute of the fourth quarter, and then scored another bucket thanks to some nice ball movement that started with teammates Isaiah Guenther and Joe Dinkel. A three by Clayton Davies with 5:06 to go and a pair of free throws from Guenther completed a 10-0 run for the I K boys to start the fourth quarter. c> Thornapple Kellogg junior point guard Isaiah Guenther tries to bound past South Christian’s Trey Vredevoogd into the lane during the first halt Tuesday evening in Middleville (Photo by Brett Bremer) “I thought our guys just played extremely hard and aggressive defense.” TK head coach Mike Rynearson said. “They were in the right positions most of the time all night, so it was easier to recover. “South is a great, great team.

We had a hand in the face on a lot of the shots, even around the rim. We took some charges. I just thought the boys were in it. They were energized. They played like they wanted it. That's the effort that we need, each and every night, if we want to compete in this league." The Trojans finish off the first half of the OK Gold Conference season at 0-6 in the conference. OK Gold foes had been averaging 69.2 points per game against the Trojans coming into Tuesday night’s contest. South Christian was led hy offensively Tyler Buwalda, who finished with eight points. Schrotenboer finished with seven points and Kok and Trey Vredevoogd had six points apiece. TK led the ballgame 9-5 after one quarter, but the Sailors stayed out on shoot­ ers in the second quarter and took advantage of their height to prevent TK from getting good shots off around the rim. South Christian went on a 19-1 run to start that second quarter. When we did get a shot off, it was contested contested,“” Rynearson said. Their defense was good. It was one and done. They cleaned up on the boards and then they got out and ran a little bit, and got us scrambling in transition, and they got to the rim a couple times. That was one of the focal points of the game was to control their transition. They love to get out and run and get in space and they’ve got the athletes to do it” TK did do a good job of slowing down the Sailors itempo for much of the night. ~~A getting back on defense and getting into their zones, Davies, Zellmer and Guenther finished with eight points apiece for TK. Dinkel had six points and Caleb Gavette and Brody Keiser had four points each. The Trojans missed senior forward Gary Buller, who has been out with an injury for a couple games. His size could have helped out the Trojans in the paint. Rynearson said he is hoping Buller gets to return to the court in the next couple weeks. TK fell 76-34 at Forest hills Eastern last Friday. The Hawks started the night on a 24-7 surge. Rynearson said the Hawks pushed the ball in transition and got to the rim whenever they wanted all evening long.

Nemmers reminded Monday’s audi­ ence that the board then approved unanimously Rodriguez as superintendent, “Mr. Rodriguez is a man of the highest integrity, with exceptional values he lives out each day,” Nemmers said. Though not everyone agrees with his policies, said claimed Nemmers, he Rodriguez’s commitment to the school and community were without question. “He made us better, and I’m saddened by his depar­ ture,” Nemmers added. Nemmers also expressed concemed about the process the board took in accepting Rodriguez’s resignation. He reminded the board of Rodriguez’s positive evalua- tion and clean record after alleged Title VII violations against female employees, He wondered why the board was able to accept Rodriguez's resignation if the initial vote was tied, 3-3. Nemmers said he took that as a signal of a fractured board which, he believed, could lead the district down a con­ tentious road. “This board has fractured our community with a seriously flawed review pro­ 44 cess,” said Nemmers. “I would never have terminated an employee after receiving an effective review and clean investigation.” Nemmers accused the board of acting without prudence, calling the board an embarrassment to the community. He called for a united board under new leadership to secure a better future iz dtod ozorfj pibo^l nfimob 1 vono flOllfiO VfiG dmsrn Staff Writer Caledonia residents had the opportunity to speak Monday regarding the school board’s acceptance of a letter of resignation from previous Randy superintendent Rodriguez, though recent financial disclosures provid­ ed little clarity in the matter.

Heavy equip­ ment was moved in earlier in the week to finalize the sev­ erance package for the lake's old dam. Poor weather conditions halted groundbreaking on the new Gun Lake dam Monday, Snow and ice kept Nashville Construction from much more than unloading several pieces of equipment on Marsh Road Tuesday, the last equipment made its way from Nashville to Gun Lake, and steel templates were driven to guide sheet installa­ tion throughout the rest of the week. Given the idiosyncrasies of Michigan weather, project engineer Chad Mencarelli couldn’t give a firm comple­ tion date. He said he expects the dam to be functionally complete within the coming weeks. Crews will likely be seen making aesthetic tweaks to the new dam after the spring thaw, he said. Fifteen-foot steel sheets will be driven as the dam’s backbone. Approximately 10 feet of the steel wall will be driven into the sandy earth beneath the water level. The remaining five feet will rise through the water to the established lake level. Prior to 1921, Gun Lake didn’t have a dam. Water flowed freely from the lake to the Gun River, often caus­ ing surging floodplains downstream, damaging crop­ land and homesteads. In 1921, Barry County Circuit Court established Gun Lake’s legal lake level at 744 feet. The court also authorized construction of a dam to hold the established level in place. The current dam was erected in 1951. Its six-foot pile-supported concrete wall spanned 72 feet. The old dam was compro­ mised in May 2015. Seepage was observed under the shallow six-foot dam, causing “boiling” and scouring downstream. Crews stabi­ lized the dam with 200 tons of rock, but the message was clear: a new dam was needed Caledonia School Board President Marcy White (left) and trustee Bill Donohue listen to public comment presented Monday, for the district. Josh Blunt also questioned the board’s process, which he said has left the communi­ ty confused with patchy information and decisions causing the community to second guess school leader- ship. Like Nemmers, Blunt questioned how the board could terminate a superinten­ dent's tenure without unani­ mous support. “It’s very difficult to know how divided the board is on an issue of such magnitude,” Blunt said. “This is a very smart community, at some point some of us will ask questions.” Blunt was confident the community would get to the See QUESTIONS, pg. 3 Caledonia board OlOCtS interim superintendent See DAM, page 4 Retired Fennville superintendent Dirk Wheeldreyer was elected Caledonia Schools interim superintendent Thursday.

Slated for completion in early 2019, the new global headquarters will feature a modem, professional envi­ ronment designed to promote creativity, innovation and collaboration, and will include an expanded stateof-the-art research and devel­ opment center. “The expansion of our West Michigan footprint is an investment not only in the communities we are proud to call home, but in our employ­ ees, who are the key to our continued success,” said Viking Group President and CEO James Golinveaux. The company’s products and services have protected lives and properties from fire for nearly 100 years. Significant upgrades to Viking Group’s research and development infrastructure, cutting-edge including design, engineering and test­ ing capabilities will pave the way for future product inno­ vation.

Sigmund Rumpf was con­ victed by a Barry County Circuit Court jury March 2016 of killing Steven Kauffman July 21, 2015. Rumpf, 29 at the time, also was found guilty of carrying a concealed weapon and a felony firearms charge. He was sentenced by Circuit Court Judge Amy McDowell to 10 to 15 years in prison for manslaughter and an additional two years for the felopy firearms charge and two years for carrying a concealed weapon. The sentence of 10 to 15 years for manslaughter is well above the state sentenciing ng guidelines. Standard guidelines for manslaughter in Rumpfs case called for a minimum sentence of 36 ] months and a maximum of 71 months, A judge has the right to exceed state standard guide­ lines for a variety of reasons, but is required to adequately identify those reasons when imposing the sentence. Rumpf’s sentence of a mini- •WHOLE PIG-$379 mum of 120 months (10 years) in prison is more than 60 percent higher than the recommended minimum sen­ tence of 36 months. The ruling states, “It is difficult to ascertain the trial court’s reasoning for the extent of the departure imposed and its rationale regarding whether the departure sentence was propor­ tionate to the seriousness of the crime.” “Accordingly, we con­ clude that the trial court ‘abused its discretion in applying the principle of pro­ portionality by failing to provide adequate reasons for the extent of the departure sen­ tence tence imposed, imposed,””’ ’ and and we we remand to the trial court for resentencing.” The appeals court noted McDowell considered sever­ al factors in the case, includ­ ing the defendant’s lack of remorse; that he took a gun with him knowing he might have to use it; that, given his military training, he could have incapacitated the vic­ tim, but Rumpf intended to kill Kauffman when he shot him; the psychological injury to the family; that Rumpf left the scene after the shooting; and that he tried to control and manipulate the situation by not giving police complete information, The court also ruled it was not clear whether the trial court considered all of those Sun All r* reasons when imposing the sentence. Rumpf also appealed his conviction with claims the court excluded specific prior acts of the victim, his legal counsel was ineffective, and that jury instructions were confusing. The court ruled against those appeals and upheld Rumpf’s conviction on all charges. Prior to his appeal to the state, Rumpf petitioned the Barry County Courts for a new trial and resentencing, but was denied after a hear­ ing before Barry County Judge William Doherty. During the week-long jury trial in Barry County Circuit Court in March 2016, Rumpf contended he shot Kauffman in self-defense after Kauffman threatened him. Kauffman was shot on Wildwood Road and afterward, Rumpf left the scene, He later called police and told them he shot a man. The appeals court ruling was made by judges William Murphy, David Sawyer and Jane Beckering.

A �k ’S Church security summit planned by sheriff’s department T’ « Julie Makarewicz Staff Writer More than 100 people alrady have signed up for the Barry County Church Security and Safety Summit being presented by the Barry County Sheriff’s Department. The one-day event is planned from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, Feb. 16, at Thomapple Valley Church, 2750 S. M-43, Hastings. “Church leaders are realiz­ ing they need to have plans for whatever type of emer­ gency might happen,” said Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf. The horrific shooting in 4I .A I The Sun and News, Saturday, February 3, 2018/ Page 5 . X, i A the small town of Sutherland, Texas, Nov. 5, 2017, wasn’t the first time churches have been targets of violence, but it again brought the issue to the forefront. Churches, like schools, are not immune from being places of violence. It also made church leaders leaders from from all all areas areas of of the the country realize anything can happen anywhere - even in small towns like Middleville, Delton or Nashville. “They were a small little town in Texas about the size of Freeport," Leaf said. “The chances of a mass shooting like that are slim, but there are other emergencies churches should have plans for.” The summit will include information from the sheriff’s department, auxiliary and posse, Barry County Emergency Management, Central Barry County Central Dispatch, Barry County United Way, Wav. Hastings Police Department, Barry Township Police Department Michigan State Police, Barry County Community Mental Health, West Michigan Church Security Network and more. Participants will learn about how key communica­ tion in any emergency situa­ tion is vitally important and how central dispatch can help. Information will be pro­ vided on building security teams in the churches and establishing policies and procedures for emergency situations including weather emergencies, health emeremergencies, disasters and acts of terror. Church leaders will learn how to identify potentially suspicious and dangerous people and what to do in case someone suspicious is in the church. Leaf said he hopes to get a wider network of churches going to share their action plans for emergencies and work together. “It's important to have plans for things that might happen. We cant stop every thing from happening. but we can be prepared and ready to act ” Leaf said, The information brochure for the summit outlines why the summit is needed. “We are no longer living in a world where the church, its people and its property are sanctuaries," according to the brochure. “As we deal with today’s humans, we are faced with an acceptance that we must also learn to deal with their mindsets as they react to issues and circum­ stances of life. Together we o can address the myriad of issues each of us face. Together we can make a pos­ itive difference.” Brochures for the upcom­ ing summit can be found at the sheriff's department and on its Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/ BarryCoSheriff/ posts/1709437815786057 More information is available by emailing TVC, keaton@tvcweb.com.

Put a trusted ‘quarterback on your financial team A1 On February 4, the eyes of most of the country - and much of the rest of the world - will be on Minneapolis, site of the most-watched football " ’ " game in the U.S. As a fan, you can admire the way quarterbacks in the Bi ifl Game direct their teams. But as an investor, you can learn something from the big game by putting together your own team to help you achieve your financial goals - and you may find it helpful to have your own “quarter­ back.” Who should be on your team? Your financial strategy will involve investments, taxes and estate planning, so you will likely need a financial advisor, a tax pro­ fessional and an attorney. Ideally, your financial advi­ sor - the individual with the broadest view of your financial situation - should serve as the quarterback of this team. And, just as a quarter­ back on a football team must communicate clearly with his teammmates, so will your financial quarterback need to maintain consistent contact with the other team mem­ bers. Let’s look at a couple of basic examples as to how this communication might work. First, suppose you are self-employed and contribute to a Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) IRA. Because I ad i * 1 JI 1 Wl frU L. 1 ► your contributions are made with pre-tax dollars, the more you put in, the lower your taxable income. (In 2018, the maximum amount you can can contribute contribute is is $55,000.) Your financial advisor can recommend investments you can choose from to help fund your SEP IRA. Yet you will want your financial advisor to share all your SEP IRA information with your tax professional, When it’s near tax-filing time, your tax professional can then let you and your financial advisor know how much room you still have to contribute to your SEP IRA for the year, and how much you need to add to potential­ ly push yourself into a lower tax bracket. Now, let’s consider the connection between your financial advisor advisor and and your your financial attorney - specifically, your attorney handling your estate planning arrangements. It’s essential that you and your financial advisor provide your attorney with a list of all your financial assets IRAs, 401(k)s, investments held in brokerage accounts, insurance policies and so on. Your attorney will need this information when preparing your important legal documents, such as your will and living trust - after all, a key part of your estate plan is who gets what.

I don’t see this as me coming in to instill my own agenda.” He praised Caledonia Schools for its quality staff and education, stressing to the board his only intent for change during his short ten­ ure is paving the way for a long-term superintendent. “Caledonia is moving in the right direction,” he said. Wheeldreyer is the current executive director of the School Equity Caucus, a statewide lobbying organiza­ tion working toward equita­ ble school funding across the state. Seventy-five percent of schools in the state are under­ funded, Wheeldreyer said, Caledonia not being one of them. He promised Caledonia not being on the caucus’s radar would not mean shirkshirk­ ing his duties as interim superintendent. “What you’re going to Ihave ___ 1from _______ " Z me1_is a full-time superintendent,” he said confidently. Dirk spends approximate­ ly 20 hours per week for the caucus, which he said wouldn’t prove a conflict of interest for his duties at Caledonia Schools. Wheeldreyer taught at Jenison schools, where he also coached basketball and was involved in marching band. He moved into administra- tive positions at Martin schools before being elected as school district superinten­ dent at Fennville. He retired from Fennville last September after a nine-year tenure. “I really enjoy working with students in a variety of -in the - class - ­ roles, not just room, but also in extracurric­ ular activities, Wheeldreyer said. “One of the things that I get a lot of satisfaction from is helping people be successfill.” He expressed his intent to bring healing to the district and pave the way movin u forward with new leadership, Despite recent developments, Wheeldreyer believes fully in Caledonia’s value and positive future.

He expressed desire to become more informed of nuanced situations sur­ rounding Rodriguez, but confessed he may not need to know all the details. “In some respects, I’m the _ fresh ace coming fresh fface coming in in that that will will help y0U to move forward,” he said. “I have a positive outlook, and I’ve always tried to build a good team to get things done.” Solidarity and cohesion are traits he values highly, Wheeldreyer said. • “In the past nine years, I’ve had a lot of experience with contracts and negotia­ tions,” he said in response to questions from the board. “I’ve always sought to be very open, very approachable, very accessible, and trustworthy.” Wheeldreyer highlighted past experiences instilling mutual respect among oppos­ ing viewpoints and values in his previous positions, Wheeldreyer is consider­ ing staying past June 30, if needed. His lobbying group has some trepidation about where the position could turn and if it could distract him from future duties. Dirk said he is maintaining open lines of communication with the caucus caucus and and is is open open to to aa pospossible extended tenure as interim superintendent. “I think what’s important for Caledonia is getting the right person,” he said. “If that does take a little bit lon­ ger than July, I think that option is open.” Wheeldreyer will have to work out retirement limitations in order to take on his new position at Caledonia Schools. He is considering options of freezing his retirement in order to not exceed income restrictions. “We have options and we can work that out,” he said. “I’m really not concerned about that.” Wheeldreyer intends to build rapport in the commu­ nity by attending sportin I events and reaching out to students, staff, and families. “It’s really important to be involved in the community,” he said. “It makes people have confidence in what’s going on.” The Caledonia community is hungry for confidence in school leadership. The last several board meetings have been wrought with conten­ tion, leaving Caledonia reeling in confusion and skeptical of school leadership.

The board received nomi­ nations and votes for board president * vice president, secretary, and treasurer at Monday’s regular board meeting, though one election was not exactly a vote of board confidence. Incumbent board president Marcy White was the sole nominee for president but needed her own yes vote along with the votes of secre­ tary Julie Asper, vice presi- dent Chris Behm, and trea­ surer Tim Morris to retain her officer’s seat on a 4-3 count. The three dissenting votes to White’s re-election came from trustees Kyle Clement, Bill Donahue, and Mike LoMonaco. Incumbent Behm was nominated for vice president, with unanimous approval. Incumbent Asper was nominated secretary with unani­ mous approval. Incumbent Morris was nominated trea­ surer, with one no vote from Donohue, Moving forward in a new year, Donohue urged the community to attend board meetings and workshops. “I would encourage you all to continue to come to those meetings,” he said. “It is very important, as people have said, for people to know what’s going on, and I ask that everyone continue to participate.

It was the LCTK boys who were whistled for eight minor penalties, one five-minute major and a cou­ ple of misconduct calls. The didn’t allow the Rams a sin­ gle power play goal over all that time, but that also didn’t leave much time to go on the attack in a 5-3 loss to the Rams. . Kevin Healy and Ryan Earl each had a pair of goals for Rockford and Brendan Bach scored once as well as their team improved to 10-7 overall this season. LCTK fell to 6-9-1 overall with the loss. An end-to-end rush that Healy finished off put the Rams up 1-0 a minute and a half into the game. Rockford upped its lead to 2-1 with 8:55 to go in the opening period, with Earl stuffing the puck past LCTK keeper Davis Ziesmer, get­ ting assists from Tommy Schwandt and Dan Sokol, LCTK managed to answer that second goal in just 11 seconds, with Daniel Huver stepping up to score off an assist from teammate Ethan Pinto. It took an excellent toe save by Rockford keeper Justin Stack to keep his team in front in the period, after Pinto raced in with a stolen puck in the final minutes of the first. The two teams quickly traded goals again early in the second period. Healy found the net again, with the Rams taking advantage while an injured LCTK guy tried to get off the ice with 11:19 to play in the period. Healy was assisted by Earl and Sokol on the play. A few seconds later the Rams were whistled for a penalty and LCTK needed less than 30 second to find the back of the net with the advantage. Carter Osborn flung the puck at the net where Mitchell Brennan and Charlie Hayes were waiting.

(Photo by Brett Bremer) Hayes put the puck past Stack, with assists going to Brennan and Osborn. It remained a one-goal game for only about three minutes. Bach scored off assists from Kyle Switzer and Cade Baumgardner to restore the Rams’ two-goal lead with 7:10 left in the sec­ ond. Earl tacked on a short-handed goal with 3:28 to go in the second, breaking into the LCTK end after a nice outlet pass from team­ mate Ethan McCormack. Despite the Rams' threegoal lead both teams had 22 shots through the first 34 minutes of play. Huver plowed his way through the entire Rams’ team in the final minute of the third period and scored to to give his guys a little hope, but a couple decent chances from teammates Austin Whaley and Hayes were stuffed by Stack who man­ aged 25 saves on the night. Ziesmer finished the eve­ ning with 28 saves in net for LCTK. The LCTK boys were scheduled to return to action at home against West Ottawa last night (Feb. 2) and will head to Southside to face the Byron Center team today.

The Caledonia varsity ski teams took part in the 10-teamGraylingInvitational Friday (Jan. 26) at Schuss Mountain, which will host the Division 2 State Finals at the end of February. . Facing off against some of the top skiers in the state the Caledonia boys more than held their own, placing fourth overall. The Caledonia boys were third in the giant slalom as a team. The Caledonia girls were sixth overall in their competition. “Our goal, going into this race, was to end up in the upper half of the teams at the meet and we did that,” Caledonia head coach Duane Petrosky said of his boys’ team. “The last couple meets our team has really started excelling, especially my number three through six skiers. The added depth real­ ly helps to keep our scores low even when our faster skiers struggle a little. “Schuss is one of the toughest venues for ski rac­ ing in the Lower Peninsula. It has a very steep pitch and offers a variety of fall away turns in its courses. Our kids really rose to the challenge today.” Harbor Springs, a team that placed fourth at the Division 2 State Finals a year ago, took the day’s champi­ onship with just 54 points. Clare was second with 131 points, followed by Benzie Central 144, Caledonia 167, Charlevoix 176, Grayling 177,Glen Lake 217, Harrison 266, Onekama 267 and Mount Pleasant 285.

Caledonia had three guys score in both events. Keegan Beemer earned a medal for an eighth-place GS finish and was 22°^ in the slalom. Chase Thompson was 22nd in the GS and 26^ in the slalom. Caledonia also had Paul Southerton score with a H^-place GS finish and Andrew Miron place 30^ in the slalom.

Trustee Shane VandenBerg and Clerk Janice Lippert have been accused of a range of neglect and abuse of fiduciary duties. VandenBerg and Lippert are outspoken critics of each other, with recalls for both burning opposing ends of the stubbornly contentious town­ ship political scene. VandenBerg and Lippert are on the chopping block for a possible November ballot recall. The Barry County Election Committee approved the language of VandenBerg’s recall petition. Lippert’s clarity hearing will take place Feb. 14. Clarity hearings do not make judgements in favor of any party, but simply determine if the language of the petition is valid for circula­ tion. With VandenBerg's peti­ tion approved, hearings and signatures will now proceed to determine the future of the township board.

Larry Knowles filed the petition against VandenBerg, alleging he used his position as a trustee to push through plans for a subdivision. In the petition against VandenBerg, Knowles cited an October 2017 board meet­ ing at which VandenBerg ostensibly defended the case for his Shalinda plot devel­ opment from his seat on the board.

Attorney Mark Nettleton outlined some of the con­ cerns of municipality social media sites including a social media site becoming an ave­ nue for sharing comments. Nettleton suggested the vil­ lage consider allowing only one-way communication and permitting no posted com­ ments outside those of site administrators. Allowing outside comments, Nettleton pointed out, could create sitsit­ uations in which the • village could come under question of censorship if it blocks some of the comments being submitted. He warned additionally of potential concerns associated with the Open Meetings Act ;and the problem of needing te archive all posts and conversations in case Freedom of Information Act requests are made.

RECALL, continued from page 1 w • IY documents associated with FOIA requests. Fox also claimed Lippert fabricated false and slanderous statements about her and her growing Gun Lake busi­ ness. “The charges made against me ... are false and have no merit whatsoever,” Lippert said when asked for com­ ment. After 25 years in office, Lippert said her integrity and service have never been questioned. Until now. “The health and well-be­ ing of this township are fore­ most in my mind,” she said. Lippert considered Fox’s fictitious and charges unfounded, saying she had fully complied with Fox’s FOIA requests and not abused her position as clerk. At the Jan. 12 meeting, Fox said she had filed a Freedom of Information Act request to find out who sub­ mitted a complaint against her business. She said she was not contacted within five days of filing the request, as is stipulated by township policy. She received FOIA results after Lippert asked for more information. Lippert also had denied she knew who filed the complaint, Fox said. The request showed Janice and her husband, Robert Lippert, had filed the complaint Oct. 17,2017. * Z &B ^ IT ///z / V BUY 2, GET 1 Caledonia American Legion #305 50% OFF Friday, February 16th and every Friday thru March 30th * "J i L d £3 9 tJ i J < 2 1 j 5 k FAMOUS LEGION “[I]n an official capacity, she told me she had no idea who had filed [the complaint], when indeed she did, because it was her,” Fox told the board. Suspicious of a pattern, Fox said she then sent additional FOIA requests for all complaints filed by the Lipperts in 2016 and 2017. She received four complaint reports filed, three of which were submitted against Supervisor Mark Englerth, Trustee Shane VandenBer a and Fox. “Janice Lippert and other long-term Yankee Springs Township officials are not serving in the best interest of our citizens,” Fox said this week in a follow-up inter­ view. “I will do my part to make sure that change hap­ pens and that we have a local government that moves our community forward in a way that we can be proud of.” Dual recall of township officials is unprecedented in Pam Palmer’s experience as county clerk. She said she has not processed a recall during her time in office, and her predecessor only dealt with one recall petition that never came to fruition. “This is not common,” Palmer said. “We have a very diverse board; that is nothing new,” Englerth said. “I have exhausted every avenue to try to [bring cohesion]. When you have so many personalities and differing opinions, it’s very difficult to move forward and do what’s best for the citizens of Yankee Springs.” Englerth said he will con­ tinue to push for a unified board and work toward the well-being of his township. “But this makes that very difficult,” he said.

Evening activities at the schools were allowed to go on as planned with heavy police presence. Several Facebook posts from concerned parents thanked the district for handling the situation in a safe manner and taking precau- tions needed to make sure all students were safe. Leaf said he also believed the bank employees handled the situation as well as possi­ ble.

The project includes the portion of West Main Street between 6th Street and Robin Street which includes the section in front of Lee Elementary School. Work is expected to begin as soon as school dismisses for the sum­ mer in hopes of being com­ pleted before the start of the 2018-19 school year. Estimated cost is $451,000 to be paid by revenues from sewer, water and major street funds as well as a $131,000 Rural Task Force grant. Department of Public Works Director Alec Belson told village council members at Tuesday's committee of the whole meeting, this is the last phase of an approximate 15-year process to update and improve West Main Street in the village. The project will include upgrading the existing water main from an 8-inch line to a 12-inch line. Sanitary sewer will also be installed throughout the area and additional sidewalks will be added along the north side of the road. There will also be a complete new curb and gut­ ter for the road and new road striping to form a turn lane at Lee Elementary School. Sewer laterals will be extended from the edge of the right-of- way so homes can have access to the sewer lines, as needed. Village manager Duane Weeks said in his report to the village council that this 970 feet of street is just 3 percent of the 6.4 miles that comprise the village’s major streets, but consumes 66 percent of the major street maintenance budget. For years the specific section of road has endured a patchwork of over­ lays and pothole patches. “It’s in bad shape,” said Belson, “this project is long overdue.” Belson pointed out that the first section of West Main Street improvements were completed in 2001 and 2002 and that this project will be the last section of the road to - rebuilt. “ " be completely Council members said they will vote on approving the plan, project funding and * ‘bids at their ' going out for council meeting Feb. 13.

New dam holds its own against Gun Lake Christian Yonkers Staff Writer After 67 years, the Gun Lake dam has retired with a full pension. Last week, the final steel pilings were driven for the aging dam’s replace­ ment. Within a few days, the old dam’s decades of service to the Gun Lake community came to a close. The old structure wasn’t completely phased out. Part of its severance package included trimming the crest below the lake level, manufacturing a pleasant ripple effect for water bubbling over its submerged crest as it flows toward the Gun River, The new dam is impervious to scouring and boiling which led to a breach in the old structure in 2015.

What they got was the hard­ est life lesson of all. 2016 Comeau, a Thomapple Kellogg High School graduate, said he was excited about seeing all the sights on the islands while earning a college credit - and enjoying the sunshine, island breezes and beaches. He didn’t plan on receiv­ ing a message he will remem­ ber forever: an alert warning him and the other students of an impending nuclear missile strike from North Korea. “Everybody’s phone start­ ed going off, and we all got this alert. At first I didn’t think it was real. I thought it was some kind of mistake or something,” Comeau said, a pre-med student who is now safely back at Cornerstone for the rest of his sophomore year. Comeau and other stu­ dents were on the island of Kauai in the airport getting ready to head to Honolulu, the last stop in their four-island tour. Once the alert was sounded, the flight was grounded and everyone was left wondering. “We didn’t really know what to do,” he said. “There wasn’t any place for us to go. We just sort of were all in shock. My stomach kind of dropped when I thought maybe it wasn’t a joke or a mistake. It was hard to believe.” The group of students included eight females and seven males. “The girls all stated crying and everybody started calling home and talking to their family or girlfriends or boy­ friends,” Comeau said. “I was just texting with a friend. Then I decided maybe I should call somebody.” Comeau said he knew call­ ing his mother would only cause her stress and anxiety, so he called one of his broth­ ers instead. “I decided I better let me family know what was going » 1 Saturday, January 13 *- >3 * • Earlier Today r >•-.

This is a screen shot of the text alert Nic Comeau and others received about the nuclear missile attack, on and that I loved them,” Comeau said. “I just asked him to pray for us and I to let everyone know I loved them.” He said the call with his older brother Zac was tough. “I honestly thought I was calling to say good-bye and that I was about to die at any time,” he said. “It’s nothing like I’ve ever felt before.” His group of friends all started praying and trying to stay strong together. Comeau said his faith is strong and he actually felt a kind of strange calm. “I was really at peace with it. Because of my Christian faith, I knew where I was going and that it is a far bet­ ter place than we can even imagine,” he said. “And if this was God’s time for me, then that’s what it was.” He admitted he was sad, though, thinking of all the things he was looking forward to in his life. “I thought of all the things I was going to miss out on, like graduating, getting married and having a family.” For about 45 minutes, the group struggled to come to terms with what they believed were their last minutes alive. Finally, a CNN report came over that the alarm was false and a worker accidentally activated the alert. “We still weren’t sure, though. We kind of thought maybe they were just telling us that to keep us calm or something,” Comeau said, “We weren’t sure it was true.” Eventually, they began to realize the CNN report must . have been correct. Their plane was allowed to take off, and they continued on their trip as planned, visiting four islands. Comeau said when they got to Honolulu, the group went to church that night *** I’#'’ Nic Comeau is pictured enjoying the Hawaiian) islands with a group of Cornerstone University students, where they talked about what had happened. He said the people in Honolulu assured the students it had all been a mistake and there was no threat of a nuclear attack. “It all just makes you real­ ize anything can happen any time,” Comeau said. “It makes you realize your own mortality.” Ryskamp on Butler dean’s list ititau* **!«*«* HU too । I David Ryskamp of Caledonia has been named to the dean's list at Butler University in Indianapolis for the fall 2017 semester.

A clarity hearing for The Foxes made no indi­ Lippert’s recall petition was cation of action against originally scheduled for Feb. Lippert other than the recall petition, Trustee Mike Boysen made a final appeal to Fox for any other route besides a recall. Fox reported she would not rescind the petition unless Lippert admits wrongdoing. Bob Lippert said zoning is necessary to keep the com­ munity presentable. He reasoned that zoning doesn’t deprive residents of their personal liberties, but protects the property values of neighbors and the community. dll Medendorp identified himself as the person Bob Lippert was alluding to in regard to zoning. Medendorp said zoning is a good thing, but should be enforced per letter of the law. not by opin­ ion or as a tool for personal gain. 1 want you guys to think about this,” Medendorp said. Zoning is good for the community. don’t get me wrong. But when zoning goes by personal opinion and not by the law’, we’re destroying ourselves.” He urged the board to thoroughly investigate zon- ing abuses within the town­ ship, citing his inability to develop his own property as an example of zoning mis­ use. David Neeson chimed in on the same vein, alleging the only time ordinances are enforced seems to be when someone has an ax to grind. Neeson praised the board for making progress in unity, but disparaged Lippert as a remnant of divisiveness. He agreed with Fox that Lippert should be removed from office. * I e IS*!

Registration may be made atfamilysupportbarry.com. Those with questions may call 269-945-KIDZ. People will learn about what to expect of a child’s developmental behavior at multiple ages,” said executive director Karen Jousma. “Parents having trouble with their kids may be expecting more than the child can give in relation to his or her development. There are also cases when parents may expect far less than what the child should be able to accomplish. But when you are aware of what stage a child should be in for his or her age, it may be easier to identify if there is a problem.” Participants also will leam about positive behavior interventions and supports and a parent management training model and how to expand the systems for use at home, Both systems are used in schools throughout Michigan. <■_ J Islip Iklwup Anin Mpiii w > • * •• Im ** 1 ft to ata uteiap W ■*- H> , k ■ Kill LOCAL r HERE'S lmiOBMECC MY CARD!

Across the country, hun­ dreds of thousands of stu­ dents are boiling over with excitement for STEAM science, technology, engi­ neering, art and mathemat­ ics. Students at Kettle Lake Elementary in Caledonia recently let out some steam of their own, releasing cre­ ative pressure in the process. Students just can’t get by in today’s professional world without a working knowl­ edge of at least one of the letters in STEAM. Science, technology, engineering, art and math intersect virtually every profession, from mill­ wrights and mechanics to rocket scientists and brain surgeons. Without knowl­ edge of these students will run out of steam fast. STEAM involvement at Caledonia isn’t just an opportunity for kids to leam about science, engineering, and the arts, it also provides the chance to create and present creations of their own to their peers. Learning science fiction-like skills, for instance, is a huge confi­ dence-builder for students, which snowballs into future careers in STEAM. “These kids are growing up in a whole different world, and it’s changing fast,” said Kettle Lake principal Sean McLaughlin. “As educators, we’re recognizing that we need to provide these experi­ ences.” The keys to personal and professional fulfillment lie in STEAM, McLaughlin added. It’s imperative, therefore, for educators to provide learning opportunities for students to feel, see, touch, and engage in the industries of tomor­ row. “It’s about understanding how those things work, because that’s just how the world is working now,” McLaughlin said. McLaughlin has seen access to technology expand exponentially in recent years. In less than a decade, Caledonia Schools has expanded its technological and artistic exposure sev­ en-fold, providing limitless opportunities for students to explore careers in science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics. “It goes back to access,” McLaughlin said. The STEAM event held at Kettle Lake last month has grown since its inception last year. Kids became excited after its inaugural run and word of this year’s event spread like wild fire. Turns out, old fashioned word-ofmouth was the best low-tech advertising for the high-tech event., A McLaughlin and his staff have noticed an explosive interest in STEAM follow­ ing the event. Seeing sci­ ence, math, and technology first-hand inspired creative in-class hours crafted to spur curriculum-free creativity and design. The event was parent-led, with lots of help from the 7 Ira s1 > I ( • 9 5 f’ I ‘1 < 'I. » V It 1 If 4 — r « • < A4 : li < *■ / i; J I k। f ■K I* w •A •w • w A4Xta’ -r Out # -irr I• 4 f L I £t; ♦ Everet Troth takes closer look through a microscope. PTO and staff member (and parent) Audrey Barker. Barker and her son are “certified nerds,” with hefty interest in STEAM activities at Caledonia. Barker’s son Abram invented an efficient air conditioning unit to cool down his Kettle Lake class­ mates during last fall’s heat­ waves. “We are so blessed [at Kettle Lake] and Caledonia in general,” McLaughlin said. “Our PTO is on ste­ roids.” PTO meetings regularly consist of 20 to 40 parents per meeting. More than 400 people showed up for last month's STEAM event. estimates McLaughlin almost half of Kettle Lake's 450 students attended the show, “That’s a lot of parents trying to keep their kids involved,” he said. “We wanted to make sure that the evening had something for everyone.” It did and it didn’t disap­ point, either. From a marsh­ mallow-powered keyboard and guitar lessons to ecology and robotics, the event was a delight for all. One presentation, as an example, involved liquid nitrogen, balloons, and bananas. After a few seconds submersed in a liquid nitro­ gen bath, a banana drove nails into wood. Students watched in awe as an inflated balloon shriveled at minus340 degrees Fahrenheit, only to inflate to normal when it hit room temperature. Not all kids possess nota­ ble acumen in science and math. But what many lack in hard sciences, they make up for in creativity. Without the creative spark of artistical­ ly-minded souls, science, math, and engineering are vying without the yang. “When you’re inventing and innovating, there’s an element of design and cre­ ativity that goes along with it,” McLaughlin said. Science and technological need artistic ingenuity expression, he said. Without creativity, number crunchers and innovators are down the I J Kettle Lake students Nolan Ed (left) and Ben Bowman reverse engineer an old printer. t-’p MJ * 1 >7 > * 1 (4 - I I * .-: r Kb?

For some teachers it was a little hard letting go of the structure and control they typically have in their classrooms, but they also agreed that it was good to just sit back and observe the stu­ dents as they interacted with each other and shared toys and games. Cathy Leaf said she enjoys seeing the kids just having fun and learning from each other, “It’s interesting to see the interactions they have,” she noted. “This is so good for them.” This is the second year McFall teachers have joined in the Global School Play Day that started as a worldwide movement in 2015. In all, more than 285,000 stu- THORNAPPLE TOWNSHIP JW dents from six continents for mally registered for the glob­ al day according to the Global School Play Day website. Global School Play Day was started by a small group of educators concerned that adults and technology were encroaching on valuable playtime for children. These organizers saw schools eliminating or reducing recess time while assigning more and more homework bein assigned. At the same time, children's after-school time was being scheduled with events, sports and activities. The inspiration to respond came from a TEDx talk pre­ sented by Dr. Peter Gray in which he argued the case that today's kids do not grow up playing, which has led to an increase in childhood depres­ sion, stress-related issuesand the highest suicide rates in history.

Caledonia’s varsity girls’ basketball team was in good position against their top­ ranked OK Red Conference rivals for the second time Tuesday, and for the second time this season the Falcons pulled out the victory. The meeting at Caledonia High School last month was a bit tighter for a bit longer than Tuesday's meeting at East Kentwood High School though. Caledonia had a 30-29 lead with three and a half minutes to play Tuesday, but the Falcons took the lead back with a 10-3 run the rest of the period and eventually cruised to a 68-47 win. I J * V< wanted to do for a while. We knew at some point the pres­ sure was going to come and we were trying to make sure that our girls were rested enough,” Caledonia head coach Mike Glass said. “We had some mental errors. We got a little one-on-oneish in the middle of that third quar­ ter when we got up one , and we took four straight shots where they were one shot runs where they got a rebound and threw it down long.” It was a game of big swings. The Falcons led 11-2 six minutes into the ball­ game, before three-pointers from Kendall Krupiczewicz and Olivia LeBaron helped the Scots get back to even at 12-12 by early in the second period. i ne raicons neia a sum lead throughout much of the second quarter, and went into the half up 23-20. The Scots mostly took care of the bas­ ketball against the Falcons' constant pressure and didn’t allow many second chance baskets. “They didn't hurt us in anything that they did in the first half. Had we made any free throws and made our little puppies then we’re up going into halftime,” Glass said. “That’s the same as the last two times we ve played them. We could have been up higher at halftime and hopefully try to change their psy­ che and make them more worried about us. Ri^ht now. they’re not worried about us at all and they shouldn’t be.” Caledonia got 19 points from Anna LoMonaco in the bailgame. Samantha Gehrls added ten points and Kirsten Peek six. East Kentwood had four girls in double figures.

It was a seven-point game the first time the two teams met, and the Scots hope to meet the Falcons once more this season.

None of that mattered when the season was on the line Thursday at East Kentwood High School though as the Falcons scored a 35-32 win over the Caledonia varsity wrestling team in their Division 1 District Final. The Falcons scored a 65-12 win over the Wyoming Wolves in the district semifi­ nal before taking on the Scots. Caledonia won the OK Red Conference dual between the two teams 36-32 last month, getting spotted one unsnortsmanlike conduct penalty point by the Falcons, East Kentwood clinched the district championship in the 13th bout of the evening, with Jacob Yingling pinning the Scots' William Scots’ Osterhaven late in the second period of their 215-pound match. Each team won seven flights Thursday, with that pin by Yingling his team’s fourth of the evening, Caledonia got pins from Emrick Miller at 145 pounds and Bryce Briggs at 189 pounds, and the Falcons forfeited the night’s final weight class, 285, to Caledonia’s Alex Overla. Briggs’ pin at 189 pulled the Scots to within 29-26 of the Falcons with the last two weight classes to go. Owen Norman started the evening for the Scots by scoring a 16-0 technical fall in the 103-pound match against Brennan Bolen. Jonah Siekman at 130 pounds, Timothy Spence at 135 and Jason Alcala at 171 pounds all won decisions for Caledonia. The seven Caledonia winners Thursday also won their bouts in the Scots' dual with the Falcons last month. The two teams will be together again today, at Grand Haven High School, fortheir Division I Individual District Tournament. Caledonia had seven med­ L alists Friday, Feb. 2, at the Conference OK Red Tournament. Norman took his team’s lone title, taking the 103-pound weight class. He is now 32-2 overall this season. He scored an 8-6 win over Riley Rhone from Grand Haven in their flight championship match. Briggs was the only other Caledonia wrestler to reach a championship final.

The waste treatment plant entered service in 1980, and has been processing the area’s water for 38 years with no significant upgrades. The authority’s Marsh Road facility was designed to handle 1.2 million gallons of water per day, well below its 300,000 to 500,000 gallons per day average. According to the its web­ site, the wastewater treatment facility, built with EPA fund­ ing, was engineered and con­ structed to be over-sized, thus requiring no additional expansion for many years. Now, 38 years later, the aging facility has outlived its purposeful over-engineering. Despite operating below designed capacity, upgrades costing up to $2.5 million are up for approval to keep the sewer everything flowing as it has been. A $2 million bond was ratified in 2016 Orangeville and by all Yankee Springs townships in Barry County and Wayland and Martin townships in Allegan County. Since then, GLASWA has amended its previous bond resolution not to exceed $2.5 million, an additional $500,000 from the previous estimate. The extra cushion resulted from inflation and further demands from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality to upgrade grit-removal equipment. Director Larry Knowles said new grit-removal equipment was included in the original work order, but not to the extent - * M * ? « t\ » I « > (( t *» h I i | - 8 Christian Yonkers Staff Writer The Gun Lake Area Sewer and Water Authority has recently presented amendment bond contracts to the four townships it serves needed to approve an additional $500,000 for pos­ sibly needed upgrades to the sewer’s aging infrastructure. The original proposal called for $2 million in bond contracts through Wayland, Martin, Orangeville, and Yankee Springs townships. The proposal was ratified unanimously by all four townships in 2016. Due to additional improvements stipulated by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, costs to upgrade the 40-year old facility may now exceed $2 million, said Larry Knowles, Gun Lake Area Sewer and Water Authority Knowles administrator. reported new estimates will likely require an additional $100,000 to $500,000. To play it safe, the sewer and water authority amended its 2016 proposal to allow an extra $500,000 be included in township bond contracts. All four townships must approve the amendment in order for bond validation.

The DEQ required the new grit-removal system be housed in a building and incorporate a fine-screen unit, driving up the new esti­ mate to $2.16 million. Wanting to avoid drawing out upgrades, the authority board agreed to add an additional $500,000 to cover potentially higher costs. “But if the bid comes in at $1.9 million, that’s the one we’re going with,” Knowles said. “It was our thought to speed it along and have that extra money there so that if the bids came in a little high­ er we didn’t have to start all over again.” Securing a bond was the cheapest and safest funding option, Knowles said.

He asked the township board Monday to allow pur­ chase of a four-seat all-ter­ rain vehicle at a cost not to exceed $30,000. Eaton told board members of an incident on the trail this past fall requiring the ambulance emergency medical technicians to walk down the trail hauling equipment on a stretcher to the site. He said it can be time consuming, depending where on the trail an incident occurs. The proposed ATV could be used not only for the trail, but also for many other areas where it is difficult to get an ambulance or firetruck including crop fields and wooded areas. “It would be good for trials and getting in places on all the state lands we have in the JANUARY area," Eaton said. The vehicle can carry up to 55 gallons of water, so it could also be useful in a fire situation, if needed. A specially made basket for the back of the Al V can accom­ modate a stretcher. Eaton said funds for the vehicle can be taken from the remaining $57,000 in bond money for the township emergency services. ^Treasurer Debra Buckowing reminded the board the emergency services department also is considering use of bond funds to help purchase new 800-megahertz radios. The department has applied for a grant, but has not received notification yet if any funds will be available. oard members approved the ATV purchase and said if needed, additional funds from capital improvements could be used for the radios. The fire department also received approval for several other items Monday night. Eaton's request for 33 sets of dress uniforms and identification badges for the staff at a cost not to exceed $6,400 P was approved. He said the department has not had true dress uniforms for many years, and they currently hodge podge” old uniforms from as far back as the 1970s if department members need to attend a formal event. “We want to look profes­ sional.” Eaton said.

Eaton said these are the original garage doors and the recom­ mendations for repairs and service were made after an inspection, New expandable patient surfaces for the two ambu­ lance power cots were approved at a cost not to exceed $5,500.

After all, not all that $18 billion went to spouses or significant others. A sizable amount also went to non-romantic connections, including children, parents, friends, teachers - even pets. So, in the spirit of ecumenica^ 5va'cntine s gift-giv ^cre are 50016 sugges^ons ^or ^,nanc’a^ f°r your your loved ones: • For spouse or signficant ot^er ~ ^ne valuable gift to Your sP°use or significant other might be an IRA contribution. While you can't directly contribute to some­ one else's IRA, you can cer­ tainly write a check to that person for that purpose. This gift is particularly valuable because many people have trouble coming up with the maximum annual IRA contri- bution. which, in 2018, is $5,500, or $6,500 for indi­ viduals 50 and older. As an alternative to an IRA contri­ bution. you could give shares of a stock issued by a com­ pany whose products or ser­ vices are enjoyed by your spouse or significant other. • For your children - It's never too soon to start saving for college for your children, Fortunately, you have a few attractive college-funding vehicles available, one of which is the 529 Savings Plan. You can generally invest in the plan offered by any state, even if you don't live there. If you do invest in your own state's plan, you might receive a tax incentive, which could include a deduc­ tion, match or credit. Plus, all withdrawals from 529 Savings Plans will be free from federal income taxes and, in most cases, state income taxes as well, as long as the money is used for qualified college or graduate school expenses of the beneficiary you’ve named. (If a withdrawal is taken from a 529 Savings Plan but not used for a qualified expense, the portion of the withdrawal representing earnings is sub­ ject to ordinary income tax and a 10% federal penalty.) • For your parents - You can probably find a number of thoughtful and valuable financial gifts for your par­ ents. You could, for example, offer to pay a month's worth of their premiums for their auto or health insurance. Even if they arc on Medicare, they may still be paying for a supplemental policy, so your gift may well be appreciated. But you might want to go beyond helping them with just a singlc component of their financial situation and instead provide them with assistance for their “big picture.” To do so, you could arrange a visit with a trusted financial professional, assuming your par­ ents aren’t already using one. This person could look at all issues, including invest ments, retirement accounts, long-term care and estatc-related financial strategies, and then make appropriate recommendations ommendations and even referrals to other profession­ als. Everyone likes the hearts, flowers and sweets of Valentine’s Day. Nonetheless, give some thought to making financial gifts - they can make a dif­ fercnce in your loved ones' lives long after the choco lates are eaten and the roses have faded.

The decision came with a unanimous vote Tuesday by the Barry County Board of Commissioners to deny a text amendment for special land-use marinas in mixed use zoning districts. The text amendment, sub­ mitted by Lucas Spoor, pre- viously was recommended for denial by the county planning commission. The impetus for the pro­ posed amendment material­ ized when Spoor’s plans to expand his Gun Lake marina contended with county zon­ ing regulations. Spoor’s property (zoned mixed use), didn't fit the bill for a new or expanded marina. Spoor discussed his options with county zoning personnel and submitted an amendment that would have allowed the county to issue special land­ use permits for marinas on mixed-use overlay districts, In a recent announcement, Spoor scratched his plans for an expanded marina.

JBMriiilitl ut riur a I Lake business but was necessary for other grandfathered marinas to operate and expand throughout the coun­ tyWith the winds of altruism at his back, Spoor chose not to rescind his text amend­ ment. Many in the Gun Lake community viewed Spoor’s claims of helping local busi­ nesses as a pretext for future expansion of his own business. The county zoning office confirmed grandfathered marinas are not in danger without the text amendment. “Those uses which have been established for years and years can continue as they've been doing,” said county zoning administrator Z. feg ■ 3 WhriiBi it ** jgSEE S ” A I*** •* - * J '12Ji fl •* ’ ’ e: IS • 1.^ - t.l x J * * * it*0 » 5 F * t. 66nri_____ __________ ii _ school, child care center, place of worship or other marijuana provisioning business. - Testing labs or transport facilities would be allowed as a special use in the indus­ trial zone only. The committee recom­ mendations come with sever­ al legal questions, including the ability by the township to only allow businesses owned and operated by registered voting members of the com­ munity. With those recommenda­ tions, township officials said they are still concerned about the impact such facilities might have on the communi­ ty and they still want to take a “wait and see” approach. Jim McManus. “There's really no change from where things were before the request was made.” Preexisting marinas such as Matteson Marine on Gun Lake have been operatin 5a status quo for decades. Uses that have been grand­ fathered are still allowed within the county’s jurisdic­ tion, McManus said. The county zoning ordinance does not apply to townships such as Yankee Springs, which upholds its own zoning ordinances, The county zoning ordi­ nance defines a marina as a commercial facility includ­ ing three or more waterfront boat slips providing service, storage, fueling, berthing and securing of boats. Additional county definitions allow for facilities on marina premises for the use of crews, owners and guests (such as retail, eating and sleeping facilities). The county’s 2008 zoning ordinance lays out several marina regulations. Many Gun Lake area resi­ dents have recently high­ lighted stipulations that ensure marinas don't com­ promise the integrity and quality of their host lakes, create significant congestion or safety hazards or exceed the lake's established carry­ ing capacity. Opponents of Spoor allege his endeavors would violate these and other county zon­ ing regulations. Marinas are still permissi­ ble in recreational lake areas; the developer would have to apply for a special use per­ mit. • “[Denial of the amend­ ment] really doesn't change the status quo," McManus said. Spoor petitions DEQ for an additional 30 slips Christian Yonkers Staff Writer A week after the county commission denied a text amendment which would have eased marina expan­ sion in the county, business owner Lucas Spoor has peti­ tioned the DEQ for an additional 30 boat slips at his south Gun Lake business. Spoor initially applied for an amendment to the county zoning ordinance to pave the way for the expansion of his marina. Last year, he pulled the plug on a full-service marina and announced his intent to construct a multi­ use shoreside facility with access to the lake. ' Spoor said the amend­ ment no longer applied to his business, but refused to rescind it, claiming it was essential in order for other marinas around the county to expand. Last month, Spoor announced yet again there would be a change to his business model, but declined to divulge specifics. His application for 30 more slips may give a clue to future plans, “They are for incidental business use.” Spoor said. If approved, Spoor will have a total of 47 slips edg­ ing along his riparian boundary. Spoor plans to split the slips into seasonal and pub­ lie use — 20 for summer rentals and 27 for public access to shoreside businesses. The Gun Lake Protective Association has long contested that Spoor’s expan­ sion will increase conges­ tion on the already crowded lake. Spoor, however, main­ tains his newest proposal won’t add additional boat traffic, but help organize preexisting boat traffic. “It will help ease congestion down there,” Spoor said. “This won’t put anymore boats on the lake.” County planning and zonadministrator Jim ing McManus declined to com­ ment on the county’s action plan if the DEQ application ZiS is approved. Any dock expansion past historical use would breach county zoning rules barring new marina expansion in multi-use dis­ tricts. “We would probably make a notation that zoning is not in place, and [Spoor] would not be authorized to proceed,” McManus said. Spoor applied for approx­ imately 50 slips last year. The DEQ only granted him 17. McManus was doubtful Spoor’s most recent applica­ tion will produce the expect­ ed outcome. But even if the full amount is approved by the DEQ, Spoor may still be in violation of county zoning ordinances. “He couldn’t go beyond his grandfathered status,” said McManus. Spoor’s grandfathered status, McManus noted, has yet to be determined. Public hearings will be scheduled before the DEQ makes a decision.

Knowles, however, said the authority has given ample opportunity for the townships to understand why the sewer is requesting more money. The new bond contract was discussed and approved at a Feb. 1 meeting of the utility’s board. Officials of Yankee Springs and Orangeville townships were present at the meeting. Orangeville Township opted to not accept the new contract at a budget work­ shop Tuesday. Without Orangeville’s approval, funding for the additional half a million through low-in­ terest bonds will be dead in the water. “We wanted to go forward with bonds because it was the cheapest way to pay for the project,” said Knowles. The initial $2 million bond still stands and Knowles said the authority will move for- ward with improvements. In fact, much of the work slated for this summer must be completed under the DEQ’s gun. GLASWA is considering independent loans and state lending to cover any costs which may exceed the original bond contract, :Knowles will also appeal to Orangeville Township that it reconsider approving the contract. Hookup rates were increased to $93 a quarter last month, said Knowles. The new rate took into consideration bond payment, and will remain static whether or not townships agree to approve the extra $500,000. Township concerns that a bond will will translate translate into into highhigh­ bond er costs costs for for residents residents are are er unfounded, said said Knowles, Knowles, unfounded, because sewer rates are now fixed with or without a bond contract.

J SuperMtnC^nti< ■ TK continues efforts to keep all students safe Tom Enslen, TK Superintendent In the wake of this week’s tragedy in Florida, I thought I’d send a message out to our families regarding procedures and protocols we have in place here at TK. Most importantly, and on behalf of a grieving nation, I know I speak for our TK community in expressing my deepest sympathy for those impacted by yesterday’s senseless violence. My thoughts and prayers are out to that community, and I pray for healing in the wake of this horrible incident. Our district has poured a lot of resources and time into ensuring the safety of our students and staff. Thanks to a sup­ portive community, we have solicited funds through recent bonds to implement a number of safety components through­ out our buildings: • Every entry has been renovated to include vestibules.

The Klondike is a traditional event started in 1949 for Boy Scouts throughout the country during the winter months and is based on the heritage of the Klondike Gold Rush. Last weekend’s festivities at Charlton Park, featured seven stations at which troop units had to test their skills. The stations included shelter building, fire building, orienteering, pioneering, ice rescue, first aid, and team building. Troop 105 placed seventh overall and earned a second place in the E-flag campsite inspection. The boys also earned their Polar Bear merit badge because temperatures stayed below freezing the entire campout and event. j Middleville had nine Scouts from Troop 105 in attendance. There were 196 total Scouts registered.

If the bond is approved, Knowles said he expects upgrades to last another 20 years. If a quote comes in less than $2.5 million, the authority won’t pull the remaining bond amount, he said. If it doesn't get the additional $500 grand and the quote exceeds the initial $2 million bond, the authori­ ty will have to cut costs, something Knowles said has been a practice for far too long. • “For so many years, GLASWA didn’t [upgrade anything],” he said. “They used band-aid after band-aid, and now we’re out of band­ aids.” He said he hopes the sewer and water authority won’t have to use bandages on its crumbling infrastructure’s wounds. “When I came to the sewer, GLASWA was in Knowles said. ‘ They had some money in the bank, but nothing had been done to the system.” The aging system was in serious disrepair, he said. Hundreds of thousands of the authority’s own dollars have been spent on emergency repairs and essential upgrades to infrastructure. • “A lot of stuff has got to get done, and it’s expensive,” Knowles said. “Yes, we’re wanting to borrow up to $2.5 million, million, but but we we’’re re using using our our own own money money atat the the same same time. time.”” The authority has spent plenty of of its its own own resources resources plenty on emergency emergency repairs repairs for for on faulty equipment. Anyone who’s experienced a failed lift station can attest to the critical critical importance importance of ofaa funcfunctional sewer system. Plenty of lift stations throughout Gun Lake have failed in the past, Knowles said, often spewing their contents into the basements of unhappy customers. “It’s been one heck of a struggle to get our project where we are today,” Knowles said. He estimated $2.16 mil­ lion to complete the project, but included an extra $340,000 contingency cush­ ion. Costs also include engineering and legal fees, infra­ structure upgrades, office and laboratory updates, site work and facility security. In addition to the DEQ’s mandates for a new grit-re­ moval system, the sewer has planned an additional upgrade to the bio-solids storage unit to safeguard against leaking and make disposing of solid waste cheaper and more efficient. Waste solids are currently stored in a 40-year-old asphalt tank that is prone to leaking. Sealed storage tanks will store and thicken sludge for offsite removal. Office interiors would be updated and reinforced, with emphasis on the building’s deteriorating doorways and walls. A redesigned office floor plan is slated to help increase aesthetics, function and security. Other proposed security measures include repairing the perimeter fence, adding an automatic gate and install- the lake clean, and pay your fair share,”’ he said. “The state is no different than any other taxpayer.” The DNR lunk recently informed the authority it intends to reduce sewer and water fee schedules from 205 residential equivalency units to nine. If materialized, that means $73,000 in the park’s sewer fees that would have to be absorbed by other customers. “But I don’t think that’s going to happen,” Knowles said. “The state park is a cus­ tomer just like anybody else.” ■ Despite the significant amount of money the DNR intends to pull from the sys­ tem, Knowles said he is con­ fident it will end up working out for GLASWA and its customers. “I don’t think the DNR is bad, they’re our partners and our neighbors,” Knowles said. State Rep. Julie Calley is un uisk to io come up wnn on task with a solution for the state’s inten­ tions to stop paying sewer fees. The state forced the DNR to hook up to the sewer in the early 1980s. The DNR fought it then, Knowles said, and he’s not surprised to see the battle repeated. Knowles said he believes the DNR and authority will find a solution on the com­ mon ground of clean water. Whether the state or a fam­ ily’s summer cottage, if customers derive benefit from the lake, they have a duty to keep the lake clean and pay sewer fees, Knowles said. “That’s what we’re trying to do, is keep the lake clean,” he said. The plant is at half capaci­ ty, and always has been, Knowles said. Whether flow rates are high or low, there’s a fixed cost to run the equip­ ment. “No- matter how much sewage we get, it costs the same amount of money to take care of it,” he said, He said he hopes other area businesses (specifically the Gun Lake Casino) and a spattering of new residences will opt out of septic systems and plug into the sewer. The area’s lakes and water table would be better for it, he said. ing an after-hours payment . drop box. If approved by all four townships, Martin would be responsible for 2 percent of the bond, Wayland 5 percent, Orangeville 27 percent, and Yankee Springs Township 66 percent. Bonds are a security mea­ sure by which to pay back the bank in case the bond benefi­ ciary defaults on its loans. If the Gun Lake Area Sewer and Water Authority fails, Knowles said, then and only then would Yankee Springs be responsible for paying 66 percent of the remaining bond. Monthly rates were bumped from $26 per resi­ dential unit to $31 in January. The new fixed rate was adjusted to accommodate a 20-year payback period, Knowles said, adding that he doesn’t expect rates to increase for any reason other than inflation, whether or not the bond is approved. For customers concerned that the project will affect them more than it already has, Knowles had a simple message. “There’s a 99 percent chance you’re not even going to know this happened,” he said. Repairs are necessary for the health of the Gun Lake region, said Knowles. “We’re trying to make sure that our system doesn’t fail us and spew sewage into the lake,” he said. Protecting the quality of Gun Lake and surrounding water bodies is what the authority is all all about, about, Knowles Knowles said. said. Residential Residential drain drainfields fieldsare aresoaked soakedininthe the shallow shallow water water table table around around the lake. Inevitably, sewage leaches its way into the lake. Before the sewer and water authority was established, Gun Lake was a putrid, eutrophic mess, Knowles said. With many of Gun Lake's residents and busi­ nesses hooked up to the sewer, that problem has largely disappeared, he said. The state park, the utility’s largest customer, has its part to play, he said. It derives a huge benefit from the lake and contributes greatly to its waste stream. As such, it should pay its share in protecting water quality. “I keep maintaining, ‘Keep I <4 I *■ I I Si*’ I I I iKiiW I 'ijss'® 9 • !&• si iriia i i idtta bitx jfaiSJ fete hji ^sk8 1 ^ INIH •1 i Caledonia ^2 iji ’• < American Legion #305 * k Friday, February 23rd and every Friday thru March 30th All-You-Can-Eat FAMOUS LEGION FISH FRY' With all the trimmings and soft serve ice cream & toppings $1100 1 h.. * totMr XT co® • % Children 10 & Under $E00 Served 5pm - 7pm HALL FOR RENT Call 891-1882 ♦ A <L.. 3 M* L T'‘ ♦ / Open to I Public XI.

Spectrum Health Pennock has announced Katie DeCamp and Don Haney as new members of the board of trustees. Both DeCamp and Haney have been appointed to three-year terms. “On behalf of the Spectrum Health Pennock Board of Trustees, we are honored to welcome both Katie and Don,” said Brad Johnson, board chair in a Feb. 16 press release. “Each brings a unique set of skills and expertise in service to the hospital and community at large.” In his role as administrator at Thomapple Manor, Haney brings 30 years of financial experience within the health­ care field to the board as well as his professional relation­ ship with Spectrum Health Pennock working over the years with the hospital to ensure continuity of care for shared patients. Haney, of Middleville, was recently published in the nationally-distributed Financial “Healthcare magazine Management” along with co-writers Steve Marzolf, chief nursing offi­ cer at Spectrum Health Pennock, and Raymond J.

She brings more than 13 years of experience in the insurance and finance indus­ try to the board, along with seven years of entrepreneurial experience owning a small business. She represents the small business community in a health and wellness sector. DeCamp has a desire to give back, in a leadership capaci­ ty, to Hastings and Barry County where her family's business began. “We are grateful to these community leaders who gen­ erously give their time and expertise to steer the future of Spectrum Health Pennock,” said Sheryl Lewis Blake, president of Spectrum Health Pennock. “We thank current and past board mem­ bers and welcome Katie DeCamp and Don Haney. We are fortunate to have dedicat- trail. Another DNR grant allocated to downtown devel­ opment could belong to the village if parking centered around farmers market activities. The state also offers low-interest loans through MDOT which could be applied to the project. “We’ve got a handful of ways we can package this together,” Moxey said.

To help mask the unpleasantries, nurses often coat the mask with the child’s favorite flavored chap stick, which helps them relax as they receive a more potent anesthesia through an IV.

The proposed development at 245 Kinsey is under consideration for sewer hookup, Moxey said. Previous applicants were denied hookup due to shallow sewer depth along Maple Street, he added. Plans for the approved PUD for 245 Kinsey include a lined sewer hookup, which Moxey said will counteract structural complications resulting from shallow depth. Another option would divert the line through Caledonia Apartments' sewer line, which Moxey said would bring its own set of challenges. Moxey and the council agreed the applicant's proposal for a reinforced sewer line is the best option. Moxey said he will offer property owners the opportunity to connect to the proposed line once the developer finalizes plans.

TK’s Elias Borg pinned Allendale’s Finn Aungst late in the first period of their 189-pound match Wednesday and Trenton Dutcher scored a 3-1 win over Allendale’s Adam Ginn in the 285-pound match. Ginn had beaten Dutcher by two points Saturday at their individual district tournament. The Trojans wrestled a number of solid matches Wednesday against Allendale.

Overall, we had guys up and down the line-up that were able to limit the points that Hamilton earned when they didn’t win and a few earn more points in the matches we did win.” TK’s eight individual regional qualifiers are back in action today (Feb. 17) at Gull Lake High School for their Division 2 Individual Regional Tournament look­ ing to earn a spot in the Individual State Finals with a top four finish. ▼ X I I I |Ll I M‘I i' �< < % I It * * > ■ vl l^rll d lUUw7l I I M IrAllfn AKfC iVWlll *5 * w»? * ‘ s. ] »i concerns resiaei J and Abby Deller. — _B • J ’’tai •< Julie Makarewicz Staff Writer ICZdUII 1^^ IwJ -m ■ Parking concerns drew a Thornapple Thomapple Township resiresi­ I VwUTUI dent dent to to the the board board meeting meeting Monday night asking for help. Diane VanderWerp lives on Parmalee Road near the bridge over the Thomapple - River just west of Whitneyville Road. “My concern is for safety,” ’ she said. “Parking is getting to be more and more of a • hazard.” She said people park along Parmalee Road to access the Thomapple River, creating a safety issue when she tries to get in and out of her driveI • 'tjiiij way. The vehicles are usually parked along the shoulder of the road and do not block traffic. VanderWerp said she’s lived at the property for more than eight years and the parking continues to get worse. She said often people cross her property to get to the river. She’s put up “private property” signs, but still peo­ ple use her property as access. VanderWerp said she’s not trying to limit access to the river, but wants to make the township aware of the situation. Who's liable if someone gets hurt trespassing on my property?” she asked. l€ She said the township needs to look for a safe park­ ing area for people to have access the river and not have it affect private property. “I’m not trying to kick anyone off the river or even off my property to get to the river, but I do have con­ cerns ” she said. “It’s a safety thing. “It’s time for the township to find property where people can park and be safe and get to the river,” she said. The board has been look­ ing for possible land in the township as a possible access point to the river, but has not been able to acquire any property. ■ IV I 0*1 I £9 > KJ o <D *11 y - -c t ■ Caledonia High School Choir Program participated in the MSMVA State Honors Choir in January.

A joint meeting of Yankee Springs Township boards and commissions met Monday to strategize goals for the coming year. v Members of the town­ ship’s board of trustees, zon­ ing board of appeals, and planning commission dis­ cussed township ordinances and enforcement, meeting conduct, efficiency, and pos­ sible action plans for making 2018 a successful year for the township. Supervisor Mark Englerth invited those present to voice what they want to see happen in the township in 2018. Planning commissioner John Frigmanski expressed his concern of chaotic township meetings, stressing the need to ensure checks and balances and follow the chain of command. “That’s what I think is missing,” Frigmanski said. “There’s a lot of support in the township for the board, but there’s a loss of control at some of these meetings.” The board must strictly enforce orderly meetings from the board table to the audience, Frigmanski added. He urged officials and spec spec-­ tators alike alike to to not not use use meetmeettators ings as an opportunity to spew personal vendettas before a captive audience. If someone has a problem with the board or a resident in the community, it should be brought up in person, not in public comment or board discussion, he said. “We need to develop a culture where if you have a problem with somebody you talk to him or her directly,” Frigmanski concluded, Moving to zoning issues, planning commission chairman Jake Welch pitched the idea of deputizing zoning enforcement officers to reign inin civil civil disturbance disturbance comcomplaints.

She complimented recent developments such as hiring Professional Code Professional Inspections to handle planning, and encouraged further investment in reforming the township government, ZBA chair Frank Fiala urged the township to pull from its diverse viewpoints to create a stronger community. All should have their say, and public attacks should have no place in public meet­ ings, he said.

They're only going to get faster,” Caledonia head coach Andrew Vanderlei told his guys after that loss to Wayland. “They’re faster in season and they’re fast at the end of the season. They’re only going to get faster. Your job is to put your head down these last few days and then taper, and pay ultimate atten­ tion to details because you want to beat that Wayland guy next to you.” “I think they kind of get lost in the season a little bit, just the daily routine, and then you get a few meets like that Wayland meet where they really get a wake up call and they can see the light at the end of the tunnel and see what they’re fighting for.” Ryan Parsons and Parker Lee, a pair of CLS seniors, won two individual races each and were both a part of two relay wins at the meet in Hastings Thursday.

The seniors I thought really competed and were a big part of the meet tonight.” Junior Alex Fabiano had the lone wins in the pool for the TK-Hastings team in the dual with CLS. He won the 100-yard freestyle in 54.10 seconds and the 200-yard freestyle in 1:54.65.

The Wildcats got 26 points from 6-9 senior forward Carter Nyp in a 55-41 OK Gold Conference victory over the Trojans in make-up of the bailgame that was postponed from Friday night due to the wintery weather. TK guys like Brady Zellmer, Brody Keiser, Clayton Davies and Brendan Miller did an excellent job of chasing Nyp around the court, keeping a body on him, and trying to contest shots. They just all did it while giving up at least half a foot in height to the Wildcats’ big man. The 6-9 big man looked like a natural posting up and showed off excellent touch around the basket against the Trojan front-line. Nyp doing so much work in the paint was a bit of a wrench in the Trojans’ plans. “We weren’t prepared, and that is on me, for Nyp to go down to the block. He has been, pretty much a perime­ ter player his entire career and shooting the three. Boom, low and behold, 1 don’t know if it is because they saw the match-up dif­ ference in size or that was their pregame plan to force it in there and have him post up. “I thought once we made a few adjustments we did okay, but he got some nice rolls to go in early on and he made some nice moves. We let him get to his left side a lot, which is something we talked about, he’s left-hand­ ed make him go to that right side even at the block, but he stepped up and he did a nice job. He had maybe one triple and most of his points were right in the paint and right around the basket where a Thomapple Kellogg senior guard Caleb Gavette tries to get the ball away as Wayland defenders Devin Jakey (right) and Ternor Hudson (left) close in during the second half Monday. (Photo by Brett Bremer) guy you would think who is 6-9 would take advantage of a team that was 6-2. We just weren’t prepared to double and we should have doubled more. I told the guys I got outcoached that game.” Nyp did hit three threes, with two of them in the open­ ing quarter as part of a 17-0 run by the Wildcats to start the bailgame. Nyp scored 15 of those 17 points and had the assist on his team’s other bucket. A three-pointer by Davies with 1:30 to go in the first quarter finally snapped the scoreless skid. The Wildcats led 20-3 at the end of one quarter and 30-11 at the half. “Offensively, we knew they would sit in a 3-2, and <1 DOBBINS I* this is on the coach again, we needed to attack off the dribble.

Wayland defender Abby Omness, who was back in good position to defend the Trojans' run in transition, stepped back to keep Miller from getting the ball across the lane to teammate Grace Shoobridge. Miller jumped to a stop and looked up towards the rim as Wayland guard Abby Merice went fly­ ing by, and then took a quick glance at the still covered Shoobridge before rising up with a ten-foot jumper of her own. A third Wayland defender, center Stephanie Ainsworth, arrived just a moment too late and Miller’s shot swished through the hoop with 15 seconds to 1 p a y TK held on through the final seconds for a 33-31 win over the Wildcats. Shoobridge swatted away one shot attempt by the Wildcats’ Merice with five seconds to play. Wayland inbounded the ball one final time under the basket, and got the ball to senior center Sam Nieuwkoop in the post. TK had a foul to give, but she managed to start her shot attempt before the foul came, and she went to the free throw line with one tenth of a second left. She missed the first free throw, and then missed the second hoping one of her teammates could tip it back up and in. While it was Wayland try­ ing to come from behind in the final seconds, it was the Trojans who put together the amazing fourth quarter comeback first. “When they hit that triple that put it to eight, I looked up at the clock, and I don’t remember exactly what it said, but I just remember thinking that we’d only scored 23 up to that point and so you knew we had to go on a run,” TK head coach Ross Lambitz said. “I was so proud of the way the girls did that- 11 would have been so easy for them when that tri" ple went in Just to drop their shoulders and they didn’t. They extended out. They ratcheted up their pressure and their intensity. We were able to get up and get a couple steals. We put a little more pressure on them.

Jamie Cooper with Connection Cannabiz ___________ appealed to the board to allow marijuana growing and provisioning centers in the township. Cooper has been in contact with the township for the past several months and, in the course of Wednesday’s meeting conversation, agreed to be part of a public hearing in the near future. 9fIT buod £iugai MitoW ml ussqqs wolk eivoiq tenwoi ni d) iol rbn£ ®toW iieaisv ft i£2n Citing an article published by the online website Entrepreneur, Cooper said a 1,500 plant growing facility will produce up to 60 new jobs for the local economy. Furthermore, the cannabis industry is expected to employ 400,000 strong workforce in the United States by 2021. Cooper stressed the difficulty and rigorous standards associated with acquiring a medical marijuana facility license. She also noted the township has unilateral con­ trol over how much and what type of marijuana industries may be allowed within its jurisdiction. “You have a lot of control,” Cooper suggested, “There are a lot of regulations you can put into place and, being on the front end of this, you have an advantage.” To date, few applications for new facilities have been submitted to the state, she said, expanding the revenue sharing cash pool for the few municipalities which opt in facilities, to marijuana facilities. Cooper urged Caledonia Township to get a slice of the pie, requesting the matter have a place on future meet­ ing agendas, Supervisor Bryan Harrison asked what a grow facility would look like in the township. Cooper said it would most likely be a greenhouse on zoned agricultural property near the comer of 84t’1 Street and East Paris Avenue. Cooper stressed that Caledonia is an ideal com­ munity for medical marijua­ na growers because of sparse grower presence in the area. Harrison also asked if possible recreational legalization in November will affect medical marijuana licensing, Cooper replied that recreational facilities will be han­ dled under separate licensing and regulations with no pos- sibility of a medical facility bait-and-switch to recreational use. She further informed the board the town­ ship may opt out of recre­ ational licensing while allowing medical marijuana facilities. “We’ll probably have our day where we have a full discussion on this,” Harrison concluded. “Frankly, right now we have more urgent matters that are demanding our time but, at some point, we want to engage the com­ munity.” The township recently approved its new strategic plan, which doesn't include a game plan for medical marijuana policy, “It’s not good news or bad news at this point,” Harrison told Cooper. “It’s just no news.” Harrison assured Cooper a public meeting will be held in the near future to flush out the township's stance on medical marijuana facilities. Cooper is one of several people who have appealed to the board for marijuana facilities in recent months.

I feel as though this district is in a better place today than we’ve ever been. I feel good about all the work we have done here and the collaboration we’ve had in the central office.” Enslen has served TK Schools for 17 years - the first three in a coaching posi­ tion before he was hired as the assistant principal at the middle school. He moved from being assistant princi­ pal, to principal at Lee Elementary, then served as assistant isuperintendent, until moving into the superintendent’s job six years ago. About a year ago, Enslen informed the board he would retire in June 2017. He recon­ sidered that decision and completed one more school year. . , ... . “1 know I have been all over the place on this deci­ sion for the last year and a half, but that’s because this place is just that special...it's hard to let go,” he wrote in a memo to all staff. “I’m very, very happy with my decision to retire, and I will be leaving TK with no regrets,” he added. “I love the kids, I love the staff and I love the community, and 1 will miss them all dearly.” Enslen said he is confident the district will attract top-rated applicants for the job. “TK has a great reputa­ tion, we're in a great place.” he said. “Many thanks to the board of education for giving me this opportunity.” Enslen said he has every confidence in the board of education to make the right decision in selecting the dis­ trict’s next leader. “In the meantime,” he said, “I’m still the superin­ tendent and will be until the end of June. I will continue serving the district with the best interest of students in mind.” at In This Issue... • Township jogs towards vision of a walkable community • FBI Task Force arrests man after chase near Caledonia • JV Trojans girls basketball teams goes 20-0 • Caledonia girls set to open postseason at home Monday �Page 2/The Sun and News, Saturday, February 24, 2018 Gun Lake swells with Area flood warnings extended into next week I recent rains and snow melt The National Weather 21.0 feet by early afternoon the next few days to be the Service has extended flood Saturday.

Walking near these locations can become dangerous in a matter of min­ utes. We also advise against recreational use of rivers, such as kayaking,” he added. The flooding also could have a significant impact on homeowners with septic systerns or well water. Residents who have a well head is sub­ merged in flood waters should not use water for potable use, such as cooking, drinking, and brushing teeth. Once the water recedes, the well should be tested for con­ tamination by a licensed well contractor before allowing potable use again, The health department is asking all residents, regard­ less of water and sewer type, to use water conservatively. Flood waters that have entered a home can have the same hazards. Any room that has been flooded should be disinfected with a bleach solution. Any food (includ­ ing pet food) that has come into contact with flood water should be discarded. More information about flood safety can be found at cdc.gov/disasters/floods/ index.html.

Jason Bushman and Jason Van Dam were appointed to fill vacancies on the board. At the same time, the board thanked Sheryl Ayriss, who recently resigned, for her 10 years of service. DDA members elected Jason Bushman to serve as the treasurer for the organi ­ e> zation. That office was left unfilled last month when Ann Ulberg was re-elected as chairperson and Mike Lytle as vice chair. Several items were dis­ cussed during Tuesday’s monthly meeting. The board approved a contract with Fleis and Vandenbrink for engineering work on the new river bank facility to replace the former bait shop. Cost of the engineering contract is $47350 and will include sur­ veys, environmental testing, and planning and design for the building at 114 River Street. The topographical survey X % w| * will help determine if a base­ ment can be part of the construction process. The build­ ing is planned to be leased out by the DDA to a compa­ ny that will provide recre­ ational uses to the community such as tubing, kayaking and canoeing on the river, ice skates and snow shoes, and possibly bicycle rentals for the trail use.

I Middleville DDA seeks new office space 1' Id f * A M 44 ?a >• I Julie Makarewicz Staff Writer Middleville Downtown Development Director Mike Schmidt will negotiate a lease agreement for the DDA office space in the former Scoop ice cream business on Main Street. Schmidt said the DDA currently shares office space in the village hall with the planning and zoning office and it has simply become too crowded. DDA members proposed seeking use of the train depot and turning it into office space, but Schmidt said there is still no guaran­ tee that renovation of that building is going to be approved. Even if plans are approved, it will likely be at least a year before the depot is ready for use. Schmidt pointed out that the former Scoop building is currently vacant and could be used not only for the DDA offices but also for a small “Made in Barry County” store and a portion of the building leased to another user for a coffee shop.

Schmidt said an agree­ ment hasn't been reached, but said he would like the opportunity to have those discussions with the current Mercy Health Physician Partners owners. He estimated that, with utilities and other Caledonia welcomes expenses, the building rental could cost the DDA about $10,000 per year. That figure could be reduced if a coffee shop owner also takes part of the space and the rv I r ended the pursuit due to the high risk.

Twenty-one firefighters filled Siler s roster last year.

The department responded to 22 building fires and 114 vehicle accidents in 2017, Siler said. No serious inju­ ries were sustained in build­ ing fire incidents. The upper left quadrant of the township saw the most runs at 414. 414. The bottom left was second at 297 calls, the upper right ceded third with 236, and the bottom right showing the least calls with only 96 runs in 2017. July was the busiest month with 144 incidents, Siler said. In the wake of a July 12 storm, the department responded to 62 incidents, two of which were building fires. Caledonia received aid from neighboring departments 62 times and provided aid in 38 incidents. The department made 10 in-school visits, providing fire education to 425 kindergarten to elementary students. An additional 20 sta­ tion visits last year provided fire education to over 250 adults and students. The department installed 45 child car seats by appointment. “I want to give a shout out to the board and public safe­ ty advisory committee for their support throughout the year and their continued help as we move forward,” Siler concluded. ■ *-» ♦ *- 4> » «■ *s *• * >• «* «* W »• �I I The Sun and News, Saturday. February 24, 2018' Page 7 i Township jogs towards vision of a walkable community & 1 10k V’ 1 Christian Yonkers Staff Writer Caledonia _______ r ’_s Township vision for an interconnected, walkable community is jog­ ging into reality. Trustee Dale Hermenet brought the township board up to speed with an updated trail map and plans at Wednesday’s regular board meeting. The updated map includes color-coded trail phases and reoriented trail routes to make use of preexisting sidewalks. The township trail com­ mittee’s main objective is determining the best trail routes to connect the com­ munity, Hermenet said. The updated map shows completed trail sections run­ ning down the Paul Henry Trail. A section to be under construction runs through the village, cutting east to Cherry Valley Avenue and stopping at 1841’^ Street. Hermenet reported the village segment will be constructed throughout 2018. Blue, green, and orange trails represent future priori­ ty segments. The blue trail begins begins at at the the Paul Paul Henry Henry Trail Trail and and heads heads north north on on Kraft Avenue before teeing <off east and west on 76^ Street. Another blue segment runs north on Cherry Valley Avenue from the intersection of 84th Street to 68^ Street, The orange trail runs south from the Paul Henry Trail down Kraft Avenue. It trav­ els along 84l" Street from the intersection at Cherry Valley Avenue then heads north on Alaska Avenue, ending at 68^ Street. The green phase begins where orange leaves off, run­ ning east from 681^ and Alaska to Whitneyville Avenue. From there it makes a rectangle around Campau and Kettle lakes. Purple trails run south from Whitneyville and 76^ all the way to 108^ Street. Another segment runs west th on 68in and connects to Kraft heading north to Davenport University and Cascade Township. Blue, orange, and green trails are considered high-pri­ ority, with purple trails as tentative options in anticipa- tion for future growth. Supervisor Bryan Bryan Harrison Harrison Supervisor commented that some trails may not offer immediate benefit to the township, but may be a good investment in the event of anticipated growth. “It’s for connecting neigh­ borhoods and people to ame­ nities,” he said. Hermenet anticipated a significant benefit to connecting purple trails with Davenport and Cascade Township. Initial collaborative talks between the townships revealed the likely con­ nection point underneath the freeway overpass, Hermenet said. Some factors need to be considered before tertiary trails are considered, said Harrison. Safety at road crossings and funding are important: considerations 1 outside the scope of current project goals. Harrison said Davenport University should commit resources if a trail is to be connected via township trails. It’s unlikely the township would build a two-mile trail trail to to the the university university on on the taxpayer ’'ss dime, he said. Davenport hasn’t com­ mitted to participating," Harrison said, “so we’re not excited for our citizens to pay for two miles of trails.” Harrison said any tax-funded trails should pri­ oritize township needs. Another spur heading south on Kraft Avenue could be useful to connect future school facilities with the Cal and downtown. Plex Harrisoni identified the school as a potential building partner if it builds south of the Paul Henry Trail. Harrison said connecting trails to river access would be an ideal goal in the future. Hermenet added that the committee hasn't determined if sidewalk portions will be paved with asphalt or remain standard concrete. “1 like that we have trails proposed throughout the entire community," said Trustee Tim Bradshaw. Though population density is light in the southeast, Bradshaw agreed with Harrison that trails should connect low density areas in anticipation of future growth. growth, I think connectivity for the future is important, Bradshaw said. “These are great steps, and I'm excited to see it move forward." Bradshaw’ proposed part­ nering with future develop­ ers to expand trails at the pace of business and residential growth. In the meantime, quadrants should be prioritized based on current densi­ ty*4 ** it Funds aren't readily avail­ able for future expansions, said Harrison. A trail millage will likely grace future agen­ das to pay for subsequent trail upgrades. “Once we refine a plan, we ll put a budget to it,” he said. “[We will] visit this again to present the opportu­ nity to make the vision become a reality."

Back in those days, sap from maple trees was a common source of sugar, an otherwise expensive com­ modity. Making maple syrup was a labor intensive, time consuming process. The arch, a long type of firebox used to boil maple syrup, was located outdoors. Boiling had to be done around the clock, and the only available light was from a lantern. “They made their sugar for the year in meatloaf pans,” Swanson said. ‘They’d shave or grate off what they needed for baking and so forth throughout the year. Before they built this sugar shack, they had a free­ standing outdoor arch. They had to boil in whatever weather was going on and they were boiling around the clock. Now I run a generator out here, so at least l ‘ve got lights. My grandpa milked the cows and my uncle would be back here all night long boiling in the dark with a lantem. When grandpa got L .

Swanson’s sugar shack was built in 1945. He has made some minor repairs and added a kitchen, but he has kept as many of the original 1940s features as possi­ ble. “The sugar shack was built by my great-grandpa, John Krebs," Swanson said. “My great-uncles, my grand­ pa’s brothers, helped. 1 believe that my grandpa didn’t help because he was over fighting in World War II.” Maple syrup production season usually lasts from late February until the beginning of April. The first step is to tap trees and hang buckets, a task the family accomplished last weekend. They have more than 700 buckets with lids hanging from trees all 4 •< A *4 *1 i .-m. a "I ■* V J 4 The sugar wagon used today still hauls sap from the woods to the sugar shack, where it’s boiled.

Swanson said. “It was me. my friend Paul Seese and my boy Joe Swanson who pretty much did it all. I went around and drilled the holes and put the spiles in the trees. My boy followed with buckets and was hanging the buckets and then my wife, Kathy, and the girls [Melanie and Paige] came back later on and put lids on the buckets.” Bucket sizes vary, he said. They use Wheeling buckets, the same as his grandpa used, which hold about three gal­ lons of sap. Syrup only runs in the spring when the trees thaw out. “When the trees bud, you're done with syrup. The sap will make bitter syrup at that point. You tap as early as you can without having the trees heal up too quick. My grandpa always said to tap Great-grandmother Mary Krebs is featured in a 1950s on President’s Day,” he said Tuesday, “which is today, “Grand Rapids Herald” article about syrup production, and today it’s running, so this year it happened just as It takes about a day for a Tree sap contains about 2 it should.” tree to fill a bucket with sap. percent sugar as well as ben­ eficial elements like magne­ sium, manganese, calcium and zinc. The raw sap can be consumed, he said, adding that it tastes like watereddown Pedialyte. “We are gathering sap right now so we’ve got the sap wagon back there,” Swanson said. “We’ve got 700 buckets out there, and in one day, we’ll gather between 1,000 and 1,500 gallons of sap.” The sap wagon has two massive jugs, or totes, on the back. The buckets of sap are emptied into the totes, then trucked back to the sugar shack and stored or boiled in a wood-fired arch. It takes about 50 gallons of sap to make one gallon of table­ ready maple syrup. “We go around and we gather the sap, we pour it in the back of the sap wagon and then pump it up into the totes at-the sugar shack,” Swanson said. “We pump the sap into this tote up here.

The board approved four paid on-call and three parttime firefighters to the fire department's duty roster. The department has seen a 40 percent increase in incidents since 2012, leading to a record number of calls in 2017. The growing need for manpower and a lack of ded­ icated full time firefighters led to the hiring of part time and on call employees. Treasurer Richard Robertson expressed reser­ vation about the fire depart­ apparent ment's ____ high employee turnover. Turnover is a high price to pay in terms of training, readiness, and efficiency, he said. Siler responded that many full time employees are finding new jobs and starting families, leading& them to part time status or leaving the department alto­ gether. Full time firefighters are hard to come by, Siler explained. The best option is to hire part time and on call staff with higher turnover rates, Siler said. Appeased, the board approved new hires unanimously. The board approved a purchase agreement allowing the sale of a water main along 60^ Street to the City of Grand Rapids and Cascade Township. The water main, once owned by Caledonia Township, was installed on Cascade's side of the street, Anyone wanting an wanting Anyone engraved brick added to the Middleville Veterans Memorial by Memorial Day this year must place the order by March 1.

With temperatures in the mid-20s and no snow or wind blowing across the ice-cov­ ered lake, Winterfest was again a hot distraction from the mid-winter blues. Thousands showed up for the beloved Gun Lake tradi­ tion, said event organizer Monte Baker. Baker and her team of vol­ unteers estimated a 7,500plus turnout Saturday, up sig­ nificantly from last year. “They just didn’t stop,” she said. “The crowds just kept coming.” The wintry conditions and enhanced offerings helped draw more people, Baker said. A rigorous advertising campaign also seemed to pay off. Visitors came by the droves, eager to sink their teeth into winter fun. The magician was a hit, said Baker.

M I ,*>5 ,1 » Christian Yonkers Staff Writer Barry County The Commission on Aging is angling for public support toward a new building. The COA serves 1.800 elderly adults annually, providing 60,000 meals through in-house dining and Meals on Wheels, and offers a vari­ ety of services to elderly adults throughout Barry County. The COA offers adult day care for elderly living with dementia or Alzheimer's. In-home services help home­ bound elders with bathing, cleaning, meals, assess­ ments, daily chores and activities. Fun weekly activi­ ties, insurance assistance programs, and nutrition plan­ ning round out the services offered by the COA. For some time, the COA Woodlawn building on Avenue has been bulging at the seams, literally and figu­ ratively. The building is at capacity, often forced to turn away clients from its ser­ vices. The flat-roofed struc­ ture is literally falling apart, complete with rain buckets and tarps to protect office equipment from the elements. Office equipment aside, it's the COA's clientele who shouldn't have to worry about getting wet. Without an upgrade, upgrade, though, though, COA COA an staffmembers members are are afraid afraid the the staff elderlywho whorely relyon ontheir theirser serelderly ­ vices might end up high and dry. At a board meeting Tuesday, COA staff and leadership considered their first steps toward securing a new building. Their wish list includes a space secure from the elements in an ideal location that is large enough to continue its programs and expand services to fill increasing demand. There is the potential to move the COA to another facility, but the board con­ ceded against that option. They'd prefer a new building with a kitchen, more space and a roof that doesn't leak The board discussed the possibility of securing a USDA loan to fund expan­ sion. Barry County Community Mental Health used a similar grant for its expansion. COA officials investigated whether the same loan could be used to fund a move to a new facili­ ty COAexecutivedirector " ­ Tammy Pennington dis *cussed the loanwith county _ officials officials who who facilitated facilitated the the process process for for community community menmen­ tai tal health. health. The The results results were were mixed, mixed, she she said, said, and and are are hardly a likely option for moving forward. Pennington said a USDA grant would be difficult to attain considering the COA’s status as a county-owned non-profit organization. If the grant process is to pro­ ceed, she said, the COA’s finances would have to be clearly segregated from the county's. That, she said, would be a difficult task under the scrutiny of the USDA. “The county has always been as helpful to us as they possibly could,” Pennington said. “But to me, this would require a lot of financial forensics.” The county would have to invest significant time and resources into separating the COA’s finances from its own. It’s possible to do, said Pennington, but would be a daunting task. Unlike other quasi-govemmental organizations, the Commission on Aging doesn't have an overly predictable budget, “(Other governmental bodies] have a constant flow of funding,” said trustee Sandy Kozan. “Ours comes from donations from different agencies and from taxes." Taxes are in the form of milleages, the most recent of which was shot down by Barry County voters, leaving the Commission on Aging scratching its head over how 1351 N.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Barry County's population 65 and older sits at 17.8 percent, up nearly 3 points since 2010. Meanwhile, the percentage of people under 18 has decreased since 2010. The Census Bureau estimates this trend to continue until 2060, where an estimated 24 per­ cent of the population will be age 65 or older and a mere 20 percent under the age of 18. With the baby boomers retiring en masse, elder services are likely to only grow in demand.

Still, Caledonia was able to finish off its highest scoring performance of the season at its Division I District Tournament. Caledonia's 739.58 was good for sixth place in the meet featuring the rest of the OK Red Conference as well as a handful of other Division I schools from the west side of the state. The Scots' round three score of 296.10 was only about half a point off their best score of the season in that round even with the late miscue. “That last stunt, a heart­ breaker,” Caledonia head coach Stacy Smith said. “That one always hits. It is one where you get to that stunt and go, ‘we’re good.’ To have that happen was like, ‘what? The top four teams from the district tournament earned spots in this week­ end's regional round of the state tournament.

Caledonia was in fifth place, just three points behind fourth-place West Ottawa, heading into round three. Portage Central hopped the Scots in the standings with its 299.80 in round three. The Caledonia girls scored a 229.50 in round one and a 213.98 in round two. Those weren’t just the highest round one and two scores for the Scots this season, but rather the highest round one and two scores for the Scots ever. “The last two weeks our kids just have stepped it up. They've been grinding it in tumbling and just really giv­ ing it everything they had to take off and be special. They knew that fourth-place spot gets them to regionals. That is what we were working towards,” Smith said. The Caledonia team has never advanced beyond the district round of the state tournament since districts were added. Many of the Scots who were out on the mat Saturday will get another shot at it. or two, or even three. Caledonia had seven freshmen, four sophomores and five juniors on the roster this winter. “We re going to come back strong next year. We re in a good spot for it,” coach Smith said. Behind those top ten teams at the tournament Loy Norrix finished with 614.46 points, Grand Haven 610.40, Battle Creek Lakeview 592.48 and Traverse City Royals 518.20.

Fighting Scot wrestlers Owen Norman, Alex Overla and Bryce Briggs earned spots in the finals, which are making the move from the Palace of Auburn Hills to downtown Detroit this win­ ter, by placing in the top four at their respective weight classes at their Division 1 Regional Tournament hosted by Grand Ledge Saturday, Feb. 17. The Caledonia varsity wrestling team didn’t have a state qualifier a year ago. Norman, a freshman 103-pounder, was the lone Caledonia guy to win his first two matches at Grand Ledge and wrestle for a regional title. He fell to Brighton’s Mason Shrader in their 103-pound champion­ ship match to finish second at the flight. Norman started his day with a 17-2 technical fall of Howell’s Zach Phifer and then pulled out a 5-4 win over Battle Creek Lakeview's Evan Sheeders in the semifi­ nals. ■ ' Overla placed third at 285 pounds and Briggs fourth at 189. Overla, a junior, pinned Grand Haven’s Collin Monsma 4 minutes and 26 seconds into their blood round (consolation semifi­ nal) match to secure his spot at Ford Field. He followed that up with a tough 1-0 win over Kalamazoo Central’s Jacob Seager in the match for third at their flight, Briggs, a sophomore, also scored a pin in the blood round,sticking Hudsonville's Marcus Kachur 2:46 into their match where the winner earned a spot in the finals and the loser saw his season end. Mona Shores' Joshua Hill edged Briggs 10-8 in their match for third. The Scots also had Seth Morse (140 pounds) and Jonah Siekman (130) qualify for the regional tournament, tournament.

Tuesday. Mahoney approached a male student for a hug, when she was allegedly struck in the face and fell to the ground. The male student continued to hit Mahoney, using homophobic slure during the assault, said an attorney. Mahoney suf­ fered multiple bruises and a black eye. The day of the assault, was Aug. 2017, 31, Mahoney’s birthday. Mahoney reported the incident immediately to a school law enforcement offi­ cer and Duncan Lake admin­ istrative staff. District staff assured the Mahoneys they would conduct a thorough investigation. Six months later, they are still waitin for the district to take action. This was never taken care of.” Christine Yared. the family’s attorney, told the board of education Tuesday. Mahoney met with school officials on several occa­ sions, Yared said, which resulted in no action from the school. The district insisted an investigation was under­ way, but it materialized. “For Adrien, the incident was bad, but the way the schools treated it was much worse.” she said. “For six months, walking around and having the principal and deputy there and knowing these people didn't care about you.” Mahoney, a biological female, identifies with traditionally male gender expres­ sions such as short hair and masculine clothing. Yared suspected Mahoney's gender identity played a role in the district's inaction. Caledonia’s school policy mandates a minimum twoday suspension and maxi­ mum expulsion for physical assault. The district retains the right to take physical assault cases to court, but usually handles investiga- tions internally, according to Caledonia’s student hand­ book. According to Yared, the assailant has seen no disci­ plinary action. Yared cited a recent letter circulated by the district highlighting its purported commitment to creating a safe and inclusive environ­ ment for students. It directs students and families to brin any concerns to principals or district staff immediately. She said the letter should have applied to Mahoney, whose atypical expression increases her chances of social ostracism or physical Christine Yared, the Mahoney family’s attorney, accuses the school board of inac­ tion after Duncan Lake Middle schooler Adrien Mahoney was allegedly assaulted last August. and verbal abuse. Yared questioned why the district didn’t follow its own pre­ cepts after Mahoney reported her assault to the principal, law enforcement and school staff.

The student that hit her, it seems like they’re protecting him and not her. u Wendy Becker, victim’s grandmother Alluding to the recent res­ ignation of superintendent Randy Rodriguez, Harcek questioned why the district spent significant time and resources preserving its own self-image while Mahoney’s assault remained on the back bumer. , “1 want to know what so consumed this district that they couldn't enforce their own policies, that they couldn't ensure the safety of their own students,” he said. It’s the job of teachers and staff to guide students by example, Harcek said. He criticized the district for neglecting its prerogative to lead by example. What arc we saying when we repeatedly fail, when the message we send is ‘It don’t matter?',” he asked. The district sent a clear message, Harcek said, that it isn’t willing to redress the wrongs Mahoney suffered under the district’s watch. A mistake like this harms the entire community, he said, not just the victim or minority groups. “If you can't handle a situ­ ation like this, how can you possibly assure residents, parents and students that you can handle something else?” Harcek asked. “I'm not going to look into the face of [Mahoneyl or another kid U <4—Or* Diyitol TV Antennas Coll Phone Booetere 46 043 Advocate Todd Harcek says the district’s apparent inaction was worse than the assault itself.

Their testimo­ nies and her granddaughter’s bruises convinced Becker the assault happened as her granddaughter described. •ecker, speaking for the Mahoney family, expressed shock and horror of the assault. Worse yet, she said, was the dismay over how the district has handled it. She said she hoped the assailant will receive help, but didn’t demand his expulsion. “I think it's worse, because the district didn't take it seriously.” Becker said. “These are the people that are supposed to help you, that you're supposed to trust.” The district is unable to provide comment on individual students. The district is tasked to investigate incidents promptly and thoroughly when they are reported, said Dirk Weeldreyer, who was appointed Caledonia Schools interim superintendent last month. He said due process was followed investigating Mahoney’s case, “Any time there are alle­ gations or reports, we take them seriously,” Weeldreyer said. Kent County Undersheriff Michelle Young, in a fol­ low-up interview, said her department launched an investigation on Mahoney’s assault. The Kent County Prosecuting Attorney Prosecutin declined to press charges. Assaults between students are usually handled by the school district, Young said. Youn •Sj said the school board took appropriate action to discipline the assailant. “It was handled just as any other case would be,” she said, indicating no wrongdo­ ing on the part of the district.

An attorney representing property owners Joe and Diane Farley claimed the expansion is unlawful under county zoning ordinances. Even if a land-use permit were granted, he argued, the road and land are not com­ patible with its proposed use. The sole means of egress and ingress is Oarie Drive, a pri­ vate drive with easements restricted to residents living along the drive. He argued private drives are not permitted for use beyond the scope of the orig­ inal land easement (in Oarie Drive's case, residential housing, not planned unit developments). Using a resi­ dential easement for com­ mercial purposes, he said, would overburden the ease­ ment and violate zoning ordinances. Powers said his holdings along Oarie Drive grant him right to egress and ingress. Diane Farley spoke after her attorney highlighting complaints of noise, traffic, trespassing and disrespectful treatment form Bay Pointe patrons. “It’s been a living hell,” she said. «• .• rk 22is fl’ - tyH Ml if- ■C< I County planning and zoning administrator Jim McManus reads a letter from Gov.

The tally was split between camps, with 19 who spoke in favor of TOST and 20 in favor of repealing. Most in favor of repealing TOST were Barry County residents, including commissioners Vivian Conner and Howard Gibson, who spoke via telecom. The board also received 49 letters in support of retaining TOST and three in support of repealing the program. Barry County commis­ sioner Dan Parker made a motion to repeal TOST.

She also claimed Lippert fabricated false and slander­ ous statements about Fox and her Gun Lake business. Fox is in the process of submitting another petition to make good on her vow to remove Lippert from office. If her second attempt suc­ ceeds, Lippert may find her­ self beside VandenBerg on the chopping block. Language in VandenBerg’s recall, filed by Larry Knowles, was found to be adequate at Monday’s hear­ ing. VandenBerg’s recall was accepted last month. Due to outdated forms, however, the committee subjected it to another clarity hearing, along with Lippert’s. VandenBerg faces allegations of conflict of interest, using his office to promote a real estate development in Yankee Springs Township. Palmer said the election committee isn’t tasked with judging right or wrong, but only determining the clarity of recall petitions. “The only obligation of the election commission is to determine the clarity of the language,” Palmer said. “It’s not to say if it’s true or false. That task is up to the resi­ dents of Yankee Springs Township. With the county 's stamp of approval, Knowles may now begin collecting signatures for VandenBerg’s recall. Recall petitions approved by the election committee are good for 180 days. Signatures collected are valid for 60 days and must be collected within 60 days, beginning with the first signer. Only residents of the township may sign a petition. To get a recall on the November ballot, 447 signatures are required. If enough valid signatures are collect­ ed, Yankee Springs residents would vote in November to keep VandenBerg or show him the door. | a . 4- ' c r. r -7 TZz^- .Sj x < :-V I ;••**’>82 ■ L VTPUUSl | ■ I y Over 70 years of experience with an experienced staff of talented designers, printers and marketing specialists to serve you. •rt • 0 f WIV J . __ _____________ kTTO ‘‘<5- f * rf f Hastings j k Banner* k •—> *»—1 xy^ < y •• a? h* SI ■ wCS COMMERCIAL & WEB PRINTING MARKETING CONSULTATION 8 DESIGN ?

It was that kind of thing.” Ottawa Hills took third as a team Saturday with 357 points, followed by TK-Hastings 309, Grand Rapids Union 169, Muskegon-Mona Shores 162 and West Catholic 67. “It was sort of a sea­ son-long fight,” CLS head coach Vanderlei said. “We knew who the other good teams were, and we had to train them hard. We had a few more resources this year, like morning lifting, just to give us that extra little bit.” TK-Hastings’ Fabiano had a lot to celebrate too. He set new TK-Hastings school records in winning the 100yard freestyle in 48.72 sec­ onds and the 100-yard back­ stroke in 53.66. He also met the Division 1 state qualify­ ing times in with both of those performances. “I wanted to go a bit faster in the 100 free, but I’m really happy with what I got,” Fabiano said. “Getting older certainly helps. You get a lot physically stronger, but every year it is just a little bit less surprising. Your first year, you're just looking around like, ‘man, what am I supposed to do here.’ Every year 1 feel a bit more like I belong here.” Fabiano teamed with Garrett Carpenter, Samuel Randall and Riccardo Pietrucci to place third in the 200-yard medley relay with a time of 1 minute 44.97 sec­ onds. Carpenter, Pietrucci and Fabiano joined Blake Roderick to place third in the 400-yard freestyle relay in 3:32.77. . Fabiano said it was pretty fun to get to swim one last conference relay with senior Carpenter and Roderick and the exchange-student Pietrucci, who won’t be back in the pool with him next winter. The four CLS guys from the winning relay teams were joined by teammate Emmett Schmehling in winning all-conference honors. Schmehling was third in the 200-yard freestyle in 1:53.90, third in the 500-yard free­ style in 5:15.33 and joined David Bud, Ethan Timmer and Alexander Pollock on the 200-yard freestyle relay team that finished second to the Wayland boys’, really Vanderlei was happy with the way those guys performed, beating out * Ottawa Hills for the runner-up points. • “There were a few really good relay take-offs from those guys,” Vanderlei said, Wayland’s Sopjes took the 200-yard freestyle for Wayland in a conference record time of 1:46.34 and added a conference record time of 51.29 in winning the 100-yard butterfly. Caledonia’s Lee was the run­ ner-up in the butterfly, scor­ ing a time of 53.47 to qualify for the Division 1 State Finals in that event. “He was just absolute focus throughout the weekend,” Vanderlei said of Lee, “Focus, focus, focus, eyes on the prize, team all together, Having swum seven events so sofar farand andthen then being being able abletoto crank off a 50-point (to open the 400 free relay) really showed showedthat thathe helit litaafire fireunder under himself himselfand and itit was was clear clearthat that he he carried carried his his teammates teammates with him. him.

CLS had four medalists in the 50-yard freestyle. Senior Johnson was second to Parsons in 22.88 seconds. The team had sophomore Connor Kooistra seventh in 24.11 and junior Bud eighth in 24.27. Johnson also placed second behind Fabiano in the 100-yard freestyle with a time of 49.13. CLS had a number of events with three top-eight medal winners.

Grandville topped the TK boys 69-52 on senior night in Middleville. The Bulldogs built a dou­ ble-digit lead in the first six minutes of the bailgame, knocking five down three-pointers and a few free throws. They hit 11 shots from behind the arc on the night. “We just didn’t rotate very fast,” TK head coach Mike Rynearson said. “We played about three different defens­ es there, three or four. We tried to trap a little bit and they do a great job of finding an opening in the middle of the zone and then reversing the ball. It was two passes and a shot and they didn’t miss in the first half. “But, we answered. We fell behind by double-digits and then we crawl back into it.” The Trojans never quite could get over the hump though. They battled back to within 23-22 midway through the second quarter, getting a couple big threes of their own from senior Gary Bullard and junior Isaiah Guenther. Grandville’s Freddy Baker answered with one of his own five three-pointers though. Baker, a junior guard, had a couple of steals, was strong on the boards, made a couple outstanding passes and had a game-high 25 points. Ethan Rycenga added 12 points for the Bulldogs and Brad Sanders and Bryce Gable had seven points each. The Bulldogs got their lead back up to 12 points, and eventually led 39-28 at the half. Things went much the same way the rest of the game. Buller hit a three to get TK within 44-39 midway through the third quarter, only to have Grandville go on an 8-0 run.

Buller, one of TK's three seniors, led the Trojans with 17 points. Junior center Joe Dinkel was strong in the paint and finished with 12 points.

See DISTRICT, page 16 Julie Makarewicz Staff Writer Of all of its qualities, Middleville residents like most their home’s small­ town character, its parks and trails, and its local schools, according to recent survey results. . ‘ The village sent out 3,200 surveys and received 272 responses for an overall return rate of 8.7 percent. Although the response was not as high as village offi­ cials had hoped, they believe the results do shed light on what residents like, want and need in the village. Survey results were Survey received from 151 village residents and 121 Thomapple Township residents, Generally, responses from the village residents and township residents were very similar. Overall, respondents said the village continues to improve. The small-town character was the most appealing part of living in Middleville with the trails and parks second and the locnl schools third. Other top responses were leaf and yard waste pickup, quality of neighborhoods, curbside trash and recycling, being close to family and being close to natural resources. In a question about park improvements, respondents from the village and township said they most support­ ed non-motorized trail main­ tenance and extension fol­ lowed by improved river access. When asked what needs to be improved in the village, residents said their number one concern was a need for more restaurants. Second on the list was lowering tax rates. Improving roads and traffic were next followed by a need for more entertain­ ment and recreation and a need for more affordable housing, A question about performance of village government prompted 87 respondents to report that the village was very good or excellent in performing government services; 89 said the village was good or excellent in protecting groundwater; 86 said the village was good or excellent in providing quality drinking water; and 123 responded the village did a very good or excellent job in maintaining parks and trails. Maintenance of streets was rated good or excellent by 89 respondents, Township and village respondents said police pro­ tection and street mainte­ nance were the two most important services provided by the village, Respondents said they often shop in Grand Rapids other than Middleville fol­ lowed by Hastings,Caledonia and online shopping. The main reasons for shopping outside of Middleville were listed as larger variety and selection in other areas, and products or services not available in Middleville. Village Manager Duane Weeks said the survey results provide village officials input from the community and an opportunity to better under­ stand what community resi­ dents want, like and need. Survey results will be con­ sidered as the village begins work on a new strategic plan for the future.

The board did find the time to check off items on the agenda, though. Trustees reaffirmed a motion made in 2016 to sup­ port a $2 million bond for repairs at the Gun Lake Sewer and Water Authority, Last month, the township turned down a proposal requesting an additional bond not to exceed an amount of $500,000. For the extra ;$500,000 to be approved, all four townships served by the sewer authority must ratify amendment. With Orangeville’s unanimous declination, the proposed increase may now well be down the drain, The board of review infladon rate was capped at 1.02 percent.

The board approved a sewer authoritv authority amendment to facilitate the transfer of private sewage grinders from the sewer authority to the landowner. The ordinance dictates the sewer authority will maintain lift stations until a replacement pump is needed. The sewer authority will then pay to replace the unit, then transfer mainte­ nance responsibility to the property owner serviced by the lift station. “[The sewer authority] will take care of your grinder until until you you have have aa major major repair,” said said Supervisor Supervisor Tom Tom repair," Rook. and Rook. ““They They’’llll fix fix itit and bring itit back back to to new new condibring condition again, and then it’s yours.” The hundreds of lift stations around Gun Lake were installed in 1980, said Rook. Since the time of installation, waste streams have become fortified with sanitary napkins and other personal products, causing *hygiene ‘ * significant wear on infra­ structure. In an effort to cut costs and better maintain the system, the sewer authority drafted the ordinance diffusing maintenance responsibility. New grinders, the most vulnerable segment of a lift station, cost approximately $2,700-$3,500, said Rook.

The Orangeville Township John Prough told the Board has appealed to the * community to give Powers a chance to address disturbances related to his business. Last weekend’s inci­ dent didn’t help build neigh­ bors’ confidence that Powers would make things right, “We are even more leery now,” Prough said. “We have not seen any resolution. We’ve heard a lot about what [Bay Pointe] is going to do. but we have not seen anything. And this incident just shows some of the stuff that us in the audience have seen.” Others at Tuesday’s meet­ ing voiced frustration that Powers and Bay Pointe supporters often discredit neigh­ bors’ claims of disturbance. Prough quoted a statement from attorney David Tripp, who said in a recent planning commission meeting to take what neighbors say against Bay Pointe with a “grain of salt.” Last weekend’s incident, Prough said, suggests the situation doesn’t need any more salt added to it. “And it isn’t even wedding season yet,” Prough added.

Powers said Bay Pointe will likely not hire aroundthe-clock security, which would prove cost-prohibi­ tive. “We can’t have security on property 24/7?’ he said. “Even large hotels have trou­ ble doing that.” Barry County Undersheriff Matt Houchlei confirmed the department filed a report of last weekend’s incident. “Because it wasn’t caught in the act, there’s really noth­ ing we can do about it,” he said.

Make sure you choose the right financial professional What kind of lifestyle do you hope to have in retire­ ment? Do you have a strate­ gy to get there? If you don’t have confidence in your plan, it may be time to engage a financial professional. But how do you choose the one who’s right for you? These days, you have more options than ever including so-called robo-advisors. Robo-advisors typi­ cally use algorithms to assemble investment portfolios, with little to no human supervision, after customers answer questions online, Generally, robo-advisors are fairly cheap, and their recommendations are usually based on sound investment principles such as diversification. However, when consider­ ing a robo-advisor, you should determine if an algo­ rithm can address your needs as well as a human being someone who ;actually becomes familiar with your life and all aspects of your financial situation, Furthermore, a robo-advisor can’t really handle the new wrinkles that will inevitably pop up, such as when you change jobs, and you’d like to know what to do with your 401 (k) from your previ­ ous employer - leave the money in that employer’s plan, transfer the account to the new employer’s plan or roll it over to an IRA. You probably couldn’t receive a personalized evaluation of your options, based on your individual goals and circum­ stances, from a robo-advisor. So, if you decide to work with an individual financial professional, what should you look for from this per­ son? Here are a few questions you might want to ask: • Who is your typical client? By asking this question, you may may get get aa sense sense of of you whether a particular financial advisor advisorhas hasexperience experienceworkwork­ ing with with people people inin your your ing financial situation situation and and with with financial goals similar f to yours. ‘ • What 's important to you?~ The quality of your relationship with your financial advisor is important - after all, you may be working with this person for decades - and he or she likely will be involved with many of your most personal decisions, Consequently, you’ll want to work with someone you connect with on an individual level, as well as a profession­ al one. So, if an advisor seems to share your values and appears to have good rapport with you, it could be a positive sign for the future. • How will we communi- Renewal by Andersen e> ♦ rag Set clocks ahead tonight gis Alarms will sound earlier, but evening light will linger next week after a time change this weekend, ;Daylight saving time will begin at 2 a.m. Sunday, March 11, so clocks should be moved forward one hour, The shift in daylight hours will continue through Nov. 4. nffHL 151 Letters to the Editor 20% OFF IkiluH ipiddal& Local Citizens Speak Out On Issues I foikfl l WINDOWS FARMGIRL FLEA *See Local Rep For Details. 3 Window Minimum.

The LCTK varsity boys’ hockey team built a 6-1 lead in its Division 1 Regional Final against DeWitt-St. Johns (DSJ), only to find itself in a battle as the DSJ guys scored three unan­ swered goals in the final three minutes of the second period to pull within 6-4. LCTK righted the ship between periods and finished off an 8-5 win to capture its second straight regional championship. “This is awesome. It’s a great way to repeat a past season,” Pinto said after his team’s regional champion­ ship victory. “We came out we worked hard and the brotherhood that we have is amazing.” “They had three unan­ swered goals against us, it was kind of shocking,” he added. “When we came back out we didn’t have that lead, Lowell-Caledonia-Thornapple Kellogg senior captain Ethan Pinto accepts his regional championship medal after his team’s 8-5 victory over Dewitt-St. Johns in the Division 1 Regional Final at The Summit in Dimondale Saturday (March 3).

The principal provisions of the amending ordi­ nance are as follows: Section 1, The Zoning Ordinance of the Charter Township of Caledonia is hereby amended by the amendment of Section 3.29(f)(9), so as to read in its entirety as follows: CHAPTER III GENERAL PROVISIONS Section 3.29 f (9) A private street or interconnected private street system shall not serve more residential lots, or dwelling units, as permitted by the Kent County Road Commission, unless a secondary means of ingress and egress is provided for the entire property served. Such secondary access shall meet the minimum standards of this section. OTHER MATTERS 1. Effective Date. The amending ordinance will become effective on March 17, 2018 A copy of the amending ordinance may be examined or purchased at the Caledonia Charter Township Offices, 8196 Broadmoor Avenue, within the Township, during Township office hours. Dated: March 8, 2018 TOWNSHIP BOARD OF THE CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF CALEDONIA skaters a spot in the Division 1 State Quarterfinals Wednesday back at The Summit against the defend­ ing state champions from Brighton, who ended their tournament run in the state quarterfinals a year ago. The Bulldogs ended the LCTK skaters’ season once again Wednesday, scoring a 7-0 victory in Dimondale. Junior forward Brendan Irons scored off assists from teammates Charlie Kotarski and Ian Milton 1:56 into the third period of the regional final to get a bit of their team’s cushion back against the DSJ team, but just over two minutes later DSJ’s Cameron Van Tighem ripped a low shot under LCTK senior defender Daniel Huver and LCTK junior goalie Davis Ziesmer to get his team back within two goals. Penalties limited the DSJ comeback bid in the third period. LCTK bumped its lead back to three goals as Ironsscoredagain with 10:55 to play, on the power play off an assist from Huver. “We just had to have them regroup and settle down and keep playing the game,” LCTK head coach Todd O’Gorman said. “If you notice, we came out in the third period and played a lot closer to what we did in the first. We got back to playing our game instead of running around. We got up and I think they got a little too comfortable. And make no mistake, they have some good players that can put the puck in the net and they did that. Good players find a way to put the puck in the net. We got running around we regrouped in the third and got after it.” Pinto had three goals and an assist, Irons had his two goals and senior forward Austin Whaley also scored twice for LCTK. It was junior forward who got the scoring started, first drawing a DSJ holding penalty and then converting on the power play to put his team up 1-0. Pinto and Whaley assisted on that opening goal 6:18 into the contest. Pinto pushed his team ahead 2-0 64 seconds later. He sped up the left side with the puck and then dodged one DSJ defender as he moved to the middle of the ice and poked the puck past DSJ goalie Jacob Piros. With a little over five min min-­ utes utes left left in in the the opening opening periperi­ od LCTK moved its lead to 3-0 3-0 with with Whaley Whaley knocking knocking home a rebound off a shot from teammate Wade Fridley. A power play goal by DSJ’s Derek Hamp made it 3-1 at the end of one period. LCTK opened the second period with an outstanding penalty kill and then started adding to its lead. Pinto ripped a shot by Piros from । outside the right circle to put his team up 4-1. Huver and Milton assisted on that goal. Piros had trouble controlling a shot by Whaley midway through the period and LCTK upped its lead to 5-1 as Whaley followed up his shot with a second that found the twine, Van Tighem, Andrew Menard and Ilya Barabanov scored the three goals for the DSJ team in the final three minutes of the second period. Ziesmer had 27 saves in net for LCTK. “Now we’ve got to take this, this is great for our pro­ gram and great for our guys do do this back to back, and now we have two tough prac­ tices before we’ve got a very tough opponent in either Brighton or Orchard Lake,” O’Gorman said after the regional final. “That is going to be a type of team we haven’t played yet this year. The depth is going to be different than what we’ve played this year, in either team. These guys are going to have to go hard.” Brighton bested the LCTK boys 7-0 in the state quarter­ finals at Munn Ice Arena on the campus of Michigan State University, and went on to win the Division 1 state championship in 2017. Just getting to that game was a big accomplishment for LCTK. There was hope that that experience would help out the LCTK boys a bit this time around. LCTK managed to hang with the Bulldogs through a scoreless first period Wednesday, but Brighton scored three goals in the second period and four more in the fourth to secure a place in the state semifinals. Mathew Kahra had four goals and an assist for the Bulldogs. Adam Conquest added four assists and teammate Tim Erkkila had a goal and five assists. Kyle Cogan and Nate Przysiecki also scored for Brighton, (MB Ml* la i I* I* W IIB Iiith to & �Make w «iE5 ** • MB, S' I li/in Is JWl Muto \ J V W 1 Wa Va Si .11 MsistalM Win' liisijijsMiHj tao 91 B IttH iWi it WRlRC * (kW IB ashF **5 7 .. of seiiif W Coconut Pumpkin Bread Pudding with Spiced Maple Syrup Prep time: 15 minutes Cook time: 40 minutes Servings: 16 Bread 2 4 I 1 I I 8 1 I Pudding: cans (13 2/3 ounces each) Thai Kitchen coconut milk eggs, lightly beaten cup sugar cup canned pumpkin tablespoon McCormick Pumpkin Pic Spice tablespoon McCormick Pure Vanilla Extract cups cubed challah bread (or cubed French or Italian bread) cup Baked coconut cup chopped pecans Spiced I I 1/4 Maple Syrup: cup maple syrup teaspoon McCormick Pure Vanilla Extract teaspoon McCormick Pumpkin Pie Spice Heat oven to 350 F.

Sandy Rairigh, Commission Secretary Cindy Willshire, Thornapple Township Clerk “I just knew I had to get it back or else I was not going to place. If I didn't place I was going to be really down on myself. I knew I just had to keep wrestling?' Norman said. West Bloomfield's Austin Bashi bested Norman 4-1 in the third round of consolalion, sending the Caledonia freshman to the match for seventh place where he was downed 3-0 by Oxford junior Matthew Curtis. Norman ends his freshman season with a 39-6 record. His plan is to take about a month off from wrestling before getting back at it. • Drug and Alcohol Treatment Any interested person may attend the public hearings to learn about the extent and location of Special Uses, Zoning Amend­ ments or Rezoning requests to offer comments to the Planning Commission.

Stoney Breek's Blake Noonan scored a 5-1 win over Norman in their quar­ terfinal match-up Friday. Noonan, a sophomore, was undefeated at the time. He suffered his first loss of the season in the 103-pound championship match as Macomb-Dakota sophomore Brock Prater outscored him 8-2 to claim the state title. The loss to Noonan put Norman in the second round of consolation Friday, the blood round where winners clinch a state medal and los­ ers see their tournament run come to an end. Norman trailed Grandville's Herrema 6-4 going into the third peri­ od of that match, but got a quick escape and a point due to Herrema's stalling to even the bout. With 41 seconds left Norman managed to hit a slide by and get behind him and take him down to go in front for good. Norman had wrestled Herrema a couple times before during MYWA tour­ naments, and said he'd had success against him the past. The two didn’t meet durin the OK Red Conference sea­ son. Herrema had Norman on his back late in the second period at Ford Field. r Caledonia varsity wrestling coaches Jeffery Alcala and Roger Singleton look on from their corner Friday (March 2) during the Division 1 Individual State Finals at Ford Field in downtown Detroit.

March 10, 2018 t Muskegon star outshines Scots in regional semifinal Brett Bremer Sports Editor Muskegon only had three girts score points Tuesday in the Class A Regional Semifinal at Zeeland East High School* but those three scored enough to get the Lady Reds past the Caledonia varsity girls' basketball team and into the regional finals. Led by 33 points from junior point guard Alyza Winston, the Big Reds scored1 a 58-51 win over the Fighting Scots. Winston, with her speed, handles and shooting ability was nearly impossible for the Caledonia girts to slow down. She hit four threes and attacked the basket, while going 7-of-9 at the free throw line. On the other end of the floor, the Caledonia girts found finishing around the hoop to be a bit of a struggle. Winston is the real deal.'' Caledonia head coach Mike Glass said. “We knew she was good. We knew she was quick. Lizzy (Palmer) found out that her quickness w ith the bail is just as good. I thought she did a nice job for what she could do with her. The team didn't help her out much on the help side, because she is just so quick she slashes through. “Lizzy held her own and found out she could play with those girls. We have known that. Defensively, she is probably our best on the ball defender because of her quickness. She found some­ one quicker than her today." Muskegon led by as man as nine points, 15-6, in the opening quarter and led throughout the rest of the ballgame. The Big Reds led 29-22 at the half. Caledonia got within 34-33 midway through the third quarter, and was behind just 53-50 with 295 seconds to play in the ballgame. Winston answered every surge though.

We just didn t have an answer for Millner at all, Caledonia head coach Phil Visser said. “He went for 27 of their 56 and he basically could do whatever he want­ ed. We tried to double him and take it away, and he spun baseline on us a few times. We talked about defending the out of bounds play. I told the guys, ‘obviously he’s tough to defend and we’re going to have a challenge on our hands.' 1 thought we did a pretty good job, and he had three or four minute stretches where he decided he wanted to take over and he did. “1 thought we competed for the most part and gave them everything they could handle. We just didn't have an answer in the end.” Caledonia had a 10-5 lead after one quarter, and that spurt in the middle of the second quarter by Millner was part of a 17-6 surge in the second quarter by the Eagles which put them in front 22-16 at the half. Still, that wasn’t too bad of a spot for the Scots who struggled shooting the basketball in the first half. They missed a few free throws and went 0-of-9 from behind the three-point line during the first two quar­ ters. “We were 6-of-12 in the second half. We made shots, we just couldn't get enough stops on the defensive end to get back in it,” Visser said. A triple by junior forward Caleb Bronkema got the Scots within 24-21 early in the second half, but Millner knocked down a couple of free throws and a three of his own to push his team’s lead back to eight points over the next couple minutes. Caledonia was never closer than six points the rest of the way.

When we played East Kentwood and beat them I said enjoy it, until next practice,” Caledonia head coach Mike Glass said. “We talked in practice about the psycholo­ gy of going from the underdog and aggressively going after something and now that team we're playing is going to be us. How do we respond mentally and physically? We ot beat up in that East Kentwood game. Literally, we watched video on TK the next day, shot basketballs and that was it. They were so beat up, they were so tired and drained emotionally and physically and I knew- that there was going to be a lot of rust tonight. “TK came out and handled their business and made it a game for a while and we just had to say keep knocking the rust off, keep knocking the rust off and we'd start getting some separation.” Gehrls led Caledonia with 15 points.

Trustees Eric VanGessel and Gary Scholl were absent. Council members recom­ mended a 24-lot condomini­ um unit plan be sent back to the planning commission before going to council for full voce. The council was unwilling to approve Village Station Condominiums with­ out addressing specifics regarding a cul-de-sac. Sevcral residents spoke up about the projects' addition to traffic on M-37 and the encroachment of develop­ ment on the community’s feel. Trustees argued their fiduciary duty to promote business growth in the village, further statin It couldn’t stop progress even if it wanted to.

She requested the village drop the bill for removing snow from her portion of the sidewalk.

The property owner indicated her intent for litigation if the matter couldn't be set­ tled by the council. Thornapple approves ‘generous’ vacation policy taken in the vacation year they are available and the township will not pay for unused vacation time. Trustees discussed wheth­ er or not the vacation pack­ age was too generous. “In the private sector, vacation is typically earned after a year," observed trust­ ee Ross DeMaagd. “Here we have it effective almost immediately. “It’s way more generous than any private sector job. Compared to a small business in the private sector, this is extremely generous. Supervisor Mike Bremer defended the vacation policy saying offering benefits like this is one of the things need­ ed to attract quality employ­ ees. “It's an incentive to get people here,'' Bremer main­ tained, “Two weeks right away is too much,” said trustee Jake Jelsema. who also felt the JulieMakarewicz Staff Writer After a lengthy discussion at its meeting Monday night, Thomapple Township offi­ cials approved a vacation policy allowing new hires to take two weeks of vacation after just 30 days of employ­ ment. The policy gives full-time and regular part-time employees who average 26 hours per week or more to earn vacation time. Those vacation days can be used as early as 30 days after employ­ ment. New hires, including employees with up to five years of experience, will earn two weeks of vacation. After five years, employees get three weeks of vacation and, after 10 years, earn four weeks of vacation time. In addition to vacation time, all employees receive five personal/sick days per year.

That's probably a worst-case scenario, he said, but he doesn't want to give anyone false hope that it’s all going to get back to normal in just a few weeks. Luke Trumble, a dam safe­ ty engineer for the state, said the state permitting process generally takes about three months, but it can be expedit­ ed in emergency situations, He said the dam also will need federal permits and approval, and that can take even longer. The dam is actually regulated by a federal regulatory commission with the nearest office in Chicago, Trumble said the state has control over the wetlands, lakes and streams, including the Thomapple River. Since plans are still bein prepared, and no proposals have been submitted to the state or federal commission yet, it's likely goin to be months before any work is done. Goodman said he's going to do everything he can to get the dam back in place and the plant working properly as soon as possible. “This dam is very import­ ant to us," he said. “It’s been one of our better producing sites.” Even so, in the grand scope of energy production, Goodman said the amount of electricity produced is “inconsequential” for consumers who shouldn’t see any changes. “We’re not even a gnat’s eye in the scope of things,” he said. Goodman said has been receiving great support from the county drain commission, road commission and other offices. “The local support is very good and very helpful,” he said. “This was a record flood.

Dull said he met with Goodman and lined up con­ tractors to meet with Goodman to bid the project. “I don't believe the county has anything to do with this. It will be up to the state and federal controls,” Dull said. “I’ll be tickled to death to help out and make phone calls and do anything 1 can to help get the permitting pro­ cess done sooner rather than later,” he said.

Other counties in the disaster decla­ ration included Allegan, Arenac, Berrien, Cass, Clare, Eaton, Ingham, Ionia, Kalamazoo, Kent, Mecosta, Newaygo, Ogemaw, Oscoda, Ottawa and St. Joseph.

Discussion moved into the five days of personal/sick time as well. Clerk Cindy Willshire said the goal is to give employees time off as needed whether it’s for bein sick or just needing to be home with a sick child or to attend a child's special event at at school. school. “We are family-friendly,’’ said treasurer Deb Buckowing. “We want you to be able to stay home with a sick child or stay home with your child on a snow day.” Township employees work four days per week in the office - Monday through Thursday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Many township employees also serve on additional boards and committees and have several meetings to attend outside the normal work day. Despite several trustees feeling the vacation package was too generous as written, it was approved by the council by a 5-to-2 vote with trustees Jake Jelsema and Sandy Rairigh voting against it. Bremer, Willshire, Buckowing, and trustees Curt Campbell and Ross DeMaagd voted to approve. s V' t ft �The Sun and News, Saturday, March 17, 2018/ Page 3 .1' SEARCH, continued from page 1 with Rider towards better governance. The greatest stumbling block right now is board dis­ sension, Rider said. The fact that the board can’t reach unanimous conclusions on important issues indicates how deeply divided the board really is. He said the board must reach reach unanimous approval for a new superin­ tendent if it wants to start out new leadership on the right footing. “If it’s not 7-0, we’ve got a problem,” Rider said. “I’ll call them out.” He asked the community to be open to communication and pressed the board to ful­ fill its duties with solidarity, Leading the district is too important a task to relegate to a divided board, he said. “This board and this com­ munity are ready to hit the reset button and have a new leader and for that leader to find a way to work with the seven-headed monster |board],” said Rider. If the board doesn’t get its act together, Rider doubts Caledonia’s candidate pool will be a deep one. He said prospective candidates have already been talking to busi­ nesses and residents to gain an understanding of what’s happening in the district. Infighting and shoveling over mistakes can’t hide a secret forever. “They’re calling superin­ tendents from other areas, they’re calling people who know about what’s going on,” Rider said. “They're doing their research on you.” Because of this, Rider said the entire hiring process must exhibit impeccable integrity. The administration and the board have-made mistakes Rider admitted, but it can start off on the right foot * towards a new future by minding its ‘p’s and q’s.’ The community has a role to play too, Rider said, Though the hiring decision is ultimately left to the board, the community is instrumen­ tal in shaping the job descrip­ tion of a new superintendent. Being involved in the process and keeping the board accountable are the only ways to ensure that the community’s voice is heard, he said. “The community will all own the result,” he said. Rider issued surveys to gauge the expectations of the community. While he usually receives 100 responses for the average superintendent search, Caledonia turned out over 400. With survey results in, Rider will compile a list of challenges and expectations for the district to form a check sheet for superinten­ dent interviews. Sure to top the list is the ability to heal a fractured district. “Somebody with a skill set or experience to facilitate healing is going to be in here either explicitly or implicitly,” said Rider. This search represents the most important selection of the superintendent in Caledonia's history, Rider said, There should be no ques­ ~’ tion of the purity of the sec­ tion process, Rider said. ' Caledonia's next leadership should spena spend ns its ume time concon­ snouia ducting the the office office of of aa supersuper­ ducting intendent, not arguing why he or or she she should should be be superinsuperin­ he tendent in the first place. ~ ‘hiring an effecApart from tive superintendent, Rider hopes the process serves as a launchpad for moving the district in the right direction. He said effective communi- cation is the first step towards healing the district’s wounds. “People have asked me if I honestly think the board has the capacity to do this,” Rider said. “My answer is absolute­ ly, but they're going to have to prove it ... This isn’t a problem with people, it s a problem of 77 process,• 7 “ By reforming the process, Rider is confident the good people leading leading the the district district people ................ ’ ’ will be able to spend’ their energy moving forward, not putting out fires. “The school district has so many positive things going on right now,” Rider said. You have so many pluses in your favor. It s just a matter of putting out a grease fire before it burns down the whole house.” Rider said a position profile should be available for the community within the ~ . next ten . days. . After the position is posted,applications will be accepted for a month. During this time, Rider will review applications and questions of potential hires. Once a candidate pool is filled, Rider will allow the board one closed session on April 25. At this meeting, the board and Rider will reveal the names of applicants and hand over application materials, nothing more. The board may not deliberate in closed session, he said. The board must choose which applicants to interview in a public meeting. After interviews are approved in April, names names or of applicants applicants April, will be be revealed. revealed. The The first first will round of interviews will be fielded April 30 and May I. Rider encouraged all interested residents residents to attend attend- me the esteu to meeting.

Catherine Getty, program director, has completed pre­ sentations of the annual report to the three entities making up TAPRC Thornapple Township, Village of Middleville and Thomapple Kellogg Schools. Each entity contributes $3,000 annually for contin­ ued programs for youth. The Barry County United Way also contributes annually. i i I Getty said 2017 program­ ming included 32 baseball and softball teams with 380 players ages 5 to 15. The baseball and softball pro­ gram includes the co-ed t-ball for 5 and 6 year olds; machine pitch for 7 and 8 year olds; minor baseball and softball for 9 and 10 year olds; major baseball and softball for 11 and 12 year olds; and senior baseball and softball for 13 to 15 year olds. Teams in the minor, major and senior division participate in the Tri-Comm Community Recreation League serving Dorr, Wayland, Hastings, Hopkins, Allegan, Martin and Bloomingdale. TAPRC also had 84 play­ ers forming 11 teams in the flag football program. The program is available for stu­ dents in first through sixth grades. This year, Getty said, the high school football coaches took active rolls in planning skills clinics as well as coach training sessions. Games for the flag football season were played Middleville, in Wayland and Hastings. The TAPRC programs are possible with the help of more than 80 volunteers who serve as coaches, assistant coaches, team parents and field maintenance volun­ teers. TAPRC received two grant awards through the Barry County Parks and Recreation Board. The first grant helped purchase an equipment shed for the McFall baseball fields and the second grant helped build a life-sized Foosball game which has been used during the Heritage Day celebration and Thomapple Kellogg’s Fitness Palooza. TAPRC also hosted the annual Heritage Day 5K/lOK walk/run. there were 73 run- ners who participated. Getty said future planning includes working toward providing adequate and quality practice and game field space for baseball, softball, soccer and football. In 2016, TAPRC formed a steering committee to continue researching ideas for a new community recreation complex in Middleville. Work is continuing as committees continue gathering informa­ tion. TAPRC is run by a board of directors representing the village, township and schools. Members currently include Phil VanNoord, Tom Ackerman and Ross Sprague representing the village; Kristen Cove, Amanda Jonker, and Jacki Schneider representing the schools; Mike Bremer. Jared Nichols and Cory Robinett represent­ ing Thomapple Township. Getty said she is proud of the work TAPRC continues to do and the opportunities available to young people. “Things like TAPRC, the village DDA, and the schools are what make our village who we are and what makes a difference in providing quality of life,” she concluded in her report, V.

However, if you’re married, you and your spouse should develop a joint “vision” encompassing all the key areas of your retirement lifestyle. These are a few questions you may want to address first: • Where should we live? Once you retire, you may need to consider two key aspects of your living situa­ tion: the size and location of your home. Regarding size, you may look around one day and realize you have more living space than you actually need. This is espe­ cially true, of course, if you have children who have set out on their own. So, if you have a large single-family house, you may want to con­ sider whether you should children and grandchildren, grandchildren. In any any case, case, moving moving to to aa difdif­ In ferent area area isis aa major major finanfinan­ ferent cial cial decision, decision, so so you you and and your spouse will certainly want to discuss all the aspects of relocation, • Will either of us work? Retirement no longer means the cessation of all work. You or your spouse - or perhaps you and your spouse may want to use your skills and experience to do some consulting or even open your own business. Adding a source of earned income will almost certainly help your financial picture during retirement, but if either you or your spouse is planning to do some work, you will want to be sure this activity doesn’t disrupt other plans that may be important to you, such as traveling. Also, any source of earned income during your retirement years may well affect important _ ment during retirement, • How will we spend our time? Aside from possibly doing some type of work during your retirement years, how else might you spend your time? Would you like to travel extensively? Or would you rather stick close to home and pursue your hob­ bies or volunteer? These don’t have to be either-or decisions - hopefully, you’ll be able to explore many pursuits during your retirement, Keep in mind, though, that there will be different costs for these various activities, so you and your spouse may need to prioritize your choic­ es to ensure they fit in to your overall financial strategies. As you can see, you and your spouse will have some key decisions about the financial aspects of your retirement.

Village officials approved making the grant application at Tuesday’s council meeting after conducting a public hearing on the issue. The proposed project has an esti­ mated cost of $190,000. Plans include adding restrooms, pathways and sidewalks and parking. “I believe it is one of our nicest parks but underuti­ lized because of the lack of ► restroom facilities,” said Village Manager Duane Weeks. Calvin Hill Park is located just north of the Middleville United Methodist Church off Ellis and Park streets. If the village is approved for the grant, it will need to make a 25 percent match or about $44,000. During the public hearing, Rick Moore said he is always in favor of enhancing pocket parks like Calvin Hill. “The best health insurance there is, is staying healthy,” Moore pointed out. “This might encourage people to get out and walk more.” Application for the grant Calvin Hill Park is home to Middeville’s skate park as well as a picnic pavilion and basketball court. must be submitted by April 1. Funding notifications will be made in September. In other matters: - Weeks reported the vil­ lage has paid the final install­ ment on the loan for the council chamber addition. - Department of Public Works supervisor Alec Belson reported the addition and upgrades to the waste water treatment plant are nearly complete and he’s pleased with the worth that’s been done. - The DPW plans to col­ lect yard waste from April 9 through October 8, weather permitting. Grass, leaves, and other yard waste must be in biodegradable paper yard waste bags. Yard waste put out for collection must be free of trash, household wastes, tree root balls and stones. Each bag should con­ tain no more than 50 pounds each. Collection will be on the second and fourth Mondays of each month, - April 21 is the annual spring clean up. Residents may begin putting items out along the curb April 14.

Fabiano just missed the finals cut with his prelimi­ nary time of 54.22 seconds in the 100-meter backstroke. That time in Friday’s pre­ lim’s put him in 21 st place. The top 16 swimmers in Friday’s prelim’s moved on to the finals Saturday in Ypsilanti. Fabiano was also 34th Friday in the 100-yard free­ style, turning in a prelim time of 48.93 seconds. That time was just .21 seconds off his personal best in the race. He was .56 seconds off his per­ sonal best in the 100 back­ stroke Friday. . Holland West Ottawa junior Derek Maas won the 100-yard backstroke Saturday, turning in a time of 50.23. Forest Hills Central junior Henry Schutte won the 100-yard freestyle at the DI finals in 44.16. The Caledonia-LowellSouth Christian boys com­ peted in all three relays at the finals Friday. The team of seniors Michale Johnson, Ryan Parsons, Parker Lee and freshman Ethan Arendsen missed the finals cut by less than four seconds in the 200yard medley relay to open the prelimary races. They placed 22nd in 1:40.62. That same foursome also placed 22nd in the prelim’s of the 200-yard freestyle relay, turning in a time of 1:30.53 that was only about two seconds off a spot in the top 16. The CLS foursome closed out its day at the finals with a 23rd-place time of 3:20.21 in the 400-yard freestyle relay. The lone OK Rainbow Conference Tier II member to score at the DI finals was Muskegon Mona Shores junior diver Tommy Cotner, who placed tenth overall with a final score of 343.15 points. Ann Arbor Skyline junior Henry Schirmer was the class of the diving competition, w inning with a score of 503.85, which was more than 50 points better than the run­ ner-up in the event.

Holland West Ottawa was second with 207 points, followed by Birmingham Brother Rice 154, Forest Hills Central 153, Northville 141, Ann Arbor Pioneer 131, Detroit Catholic Central 127, Saline 116, Zeeland 100 and Harrison-Farmington 81 in the top ten. Forest Hills Central’s Schutte was one of two guys to win two individual events Saturday. He had a win in the 50-yard freestyle (20.04 sec­ onds) to go with his win in the 100-yard freestyle. Skyline senior David Cleason won the 200-yard individual medley in I min­ ute 49.81 seconds, besting fellow Skyline senior Michael MacGillivray who was the runner-up in 1:50.27.

It was a move that brought tears to the parents’ eyes as they watched . their _ . children enjoy such success. success also must go to the village staff. “Without their support this job would be impossible,” he said. He also asked council members to continue helping him grow in the position by letting him know where he can make improvements. “I truly appreciate it,” said Weeks. “I tell people and I honestly believe this is the best job I’ve ever had. We do a lot of great things here every day.” Weeks was hired as the village manager in March 2015 and served as interim manager since Sept. 2014 when Rebecca Fleury was chosen for the city manager job in Battle Creek. Christian Yonkers Staff Writer The township agreed to allocate $12,500 Thursday for a study of the growing northeast comer of the town­ ship. Otherwise known as the Four Comers, the bustling section spans portions of Caledonia, Cascade, and Gaines townships and the City of Kentwood. The area’s proximity to the freeway and airport helps spur economic growth, resulting in the four communities to recommend spending $50,000 in consul­ tation services for future planning. The cost will be split equally between the four communities. Trustee Tim Bradshaw said the move earned approv­ al of the township planning commission, which recogniz­ es the need for changes in the area’s zoning. The indepen­ dent study will likely high­ light current and anticipated traffic patterns, which Bradshaw would leverage the state to improve M-37 and surrounding roads. Though the cost to hire the consultant will be evenly split between the four com com-­ munities, treasurer Dr. Richard Robertson noted Caledonia won't receive the same dividends form growth as the other municipalities. caieaonia Caledonia generates a yearly revenue of $1.5 million, said Robertson. Cascade and Gaines earn approximately $3 million, and Kentwood over $20 million, “We're divided in cost equally, but we’re not in the same position financially. Robertson said. “The cost here is just a little skewed against us.” He was further concerned that recommendations from the study may be optimized for Cascade and Kentwood, which might not be compati­ ble with the township's funding and departmental structure. Supervisor Bryan Harrison noted Robertson’s concerns, but made an assertion of his own. “Our strategic plan requires us to continue to move forward on this,” he said. “The discussion we've had with our planning commission on this specific corridor makes sense.” Though businesses such as Amazon may be built right across the border, the benefit doesn’t stop at the township line, Harrison said. He noted one of the township board members is employed by the City of Kentwood, which helps pay for the trustee’s mortgage on his Caledonia home. “I still think this is a good investment, even if it results in good things happening just across Patterson ... that brings jobs and economic opportunity to our side of the street as well,” Harrison said, The township's share of consulting fees was approved unanimously. The $12,500 share will be deducted from the road fund. A public safety millage was approved for the August ballot. The proposed millage calls for a .5 mil increase to fund rising public safety See CORNERS, page 3 r > I Middleville DDA eyes new office and business incubator space Julie Makarewicz Staff Writer Middleville’s Downtown Development Authority may soon have new offices on Main Street in the former building that formerly housed The Scoop. DDA board members approved the proposal which will allow DDA Director Mike Schmidt to negotiate a two-year lease for the property* The building is much larg­ er than the DDA needs for offices, but Schmidt said there are also plans to use the rest of the building. Part of the building can be used as incubator space for new businesses. Schmidt said this is a very exciting way for new businesses to test the waters and get a good start in the community, There is room for two incubator businesses including a coffee shop and a possible space to be rented for gatherings and events, Schmidt said he's already been contacted by someone interested in opening a coffee shop. At Tuesday night’s meeting, Olivia Blocher, DDA event coordinator, expressed interest in renting the additional space for her own company “Occasions by Olivia.” “As you know many of us wear many different hats,” said Blocher. “This would be an event space for my busi­ ness.” DDA board members said they liked the idea but voiced some concern about conflict of interest with her being the DDA event coordinator and now renting space out of the same office building for her business. “I'm worried we could be accused of letting you get hav­ insider information. We haven’t even rented the space en't chair­ yet,” said DDA vice chairperson Mike Lytle. He said he would like an opinion from the village attorney. Schmidt said there would also be room in the building for a small storefront for the DDA to operate with items made in Barry County from local vendors. He said there could be space for up to about 25 vendors as well as serving as a welcome center with information about Barry County, different events, parks, schools and things to do. DDA members initially considered moving their offices into the train depot, but realize the depot won’t be available for quite some See INCUBATOR, page 2 In This Issue... • Hearing to consider 30 additional slips at Gun Lake marina • Three TK OM teams, one Caledonia team advance to world finals • Yankee Springs marker the topic of next historical society meeting • FHN fights off Scots in first boys’ lacrosse match-up s �0 Page 2/The Sun and News, Saturday, March 24, 2018 BEARRG ORfNTATKM 1$ BASED INCUBATOR, continued from page » SATO rrr observatwns GUN LAKE wATER ELEVA IW U3T time. Currently the DDA director and event coordinator are sharing office space with the Middleville plan­ ning and zoning administra­ tor and it’s simply too crowd­ ed. ’ Schmidt said he expects the cost of moving to a new site will be about $1,000 per month. By renting the incubator spaces for additional businesses, though, he believes the cost will be min­ imal for the DDA office. DDA board members also approved allowing Schmidt up to $3,000 for office reno­ vations. In other matters Monday night: Rich Jenkins of the American Middleville Legion, requested the DDA support the upcoming Made in Middleville Color Blast 5K scheduled for July 3. The runners will be asked to wear white t-shirts, then be blasted with red and white colored powder as they make their way through the race. DDA members agreed to become a silver benefactor with a $100 sponsorship. - DDA members were updated about proposed changes to the village sign ordinance. Planning and zon­ ing administrator Brian Urquhart said the planning commission has been work­ ing on revisions to the complicated sign ordinance for more than a year and are about ready to meet with stakeholders and present final proposals for approval. He said the current ordinance is inconsistent and ambigu­ ous in many areas. He also said many current signs do not comply with current ordi­ nances. He said the DDA can help encourage proper signage through their sign grant process, Urquhart said the intent s3 off The 4 1st Time Customers! k Loan Huynh 616-891-9703 REW । UMb I XL:* iBKAfrtonj of the ordinance is to mini­ MAX PfR LENGTH HQ7 mize excessive clutter, reduce traffic hazards, and FNGERPCRS promote economic development and commercial activi­ ty' ' - DDA members received an update on the property at 114 River Street.

This regulation included the Time of Sale or Transfer program and requirements. After two public hearings in February, the two-county board of health voted 4-2 to send the regulation to each county’s board of commis­ sioners for a final vote on the repeal. The Barry County board voted 6-0 to repeal the regulation March 13. The Eaton County board voted to repeal the regulation March 21 in a 9-6 decision. The TOST program will remain in effect for the next 45 days. After May 5, the regula­ tion will no longer be in effect, and there will be no BEDHD requirement for an evaluation or health depart­ ment review or authorization to transfer for properties with on-site wells or sewage systerns. After the regulation ends, according to a March 22 press release, registered evaluators will no longer be registered or overseen by the health department, After May 5, the health department will continue, as always, to investigate complaints and make site visits in order to issue well and sewage system permits.

In previous years, town­ ship residents were taxed 2 mils for public safety, said Robertson. Overtime, fund­ ing apparatus was decreased to a current 1.49 mils reduced by the Headlee Amendment. If passed in August, 1.993 mils will be levied to fund fire department and police protection. The millage increase was gauged to accommodate future growth and demand for public safety services, said Harrison. Calls and runs have increased while finding and staff has declined, he continued. In anticipation for current projections, the pub­ lic safety advisory committee considered the milage adequate to continue unfettered fire and police service to the township. Furthermore, costs have increased beyond the current millage, causing the township to dip into the general fund, Harrison said. The nature of fire service specifically has changed, Harrison said. What Harrison called “legacy” firefighters (full-time, long-term) don’t comprise the bulk of the fire department anymore. Instead, part-time, on-call firefighters fill the majority of the depart­ ment’s roster. Robertson said the pro­ posed millage will not only sustain the current model of fire service, but give head­ room for a number of options as the fire department moves forward. Robertson said the millage will allow the fire department to progress towards similar models as neighboring fire depart­ ments. Trustee Greg Zoller noted the Kent County Sheriff’s Department reported 20 per­ cent fewer calls in the town­ ship in 2017 than 2016. While sheriff’s fees are stat­ ic, Harrison said, fire costs are determined per call vol­ ume, which is steady or increasing.

The accident occurred Aug. 6, 2017, on Wildwood Road in Orangeville Township when Podbevsek hit 68-year-old Jim Steenwik who was riding a bicycle. Podbevsek then left the scene. A motorist came upon Steenwik shortly after the accident and called for help. Police arrested Podbevsek later after finding pieces of l 1 her vehicle in the road and then locating her damaged vehicle behind a bam. Podbevsek was sentenced March 7 to 12 months in jail, with credit for eight days served. She also was sentenced to 90 days in jail after pleading no contest to possession of marijuana. Additionally, Podbevsek will serve 36 months of pro­ bation and will not be allowed to drive while on probation. She must pay $1,469 in court fines and costs. Steenwik suffered serious injuries, including numerous broken bones, a concussion and lung injuries that could have been fatal. Barry County Circuit Court Judge Amy McDowell said Steenwik was fortunate another driver found him lying in the ditch shortly after the accident and stopped to get help. “It could have been fatal." McDowell said in an earlier court appearance. Additional charges of a moving violation causing serious injury, and operating a motor vehicle while her driving privileges were suspended, revoked or denied were dismissed.

Gary Peters last month of the need for broadband expansion in rural areas during a presenta­ tion he made on the senate floor. Recent economic develop­ ment was discussed when he met with area business and community leaders in Barry County. Peters told the sen­ ate his constituents in Barry County know high-speed internet is crucial. “Being connected to high­ speed broadband in the 21st century is as critical to the prosperity of rural communi­ ties as being connected to running*4 water in the 20th century,” Peters said. “I have seen this first hand.” New construction of homes, creation of new small businesses and an influx of young families can be seen in part of Barry County, However, he said, the other part is stagnant. “YoUCan tell which part of the county is set up for broadband and which isn’t,” Peters pointed out. He called for the Trump administration to make rural broadband investment a pri­ ority. A release of the presi­ dent’s infrastructure plan failed to provide dedicated funding for rural broadband, he said. Jeff manager City Mansfield said he considers Hastings to be on the win­ ning end of the broadband battle as the city has been working with AT&T U-verse, MEI Telecom and WOW to meet the needs of the com­ munity and continues toward building a stronger network. “Hastings has the populaw ■ilMtdMltalWii*' tion density to draw in ser­ vices,” he said. “Do we have the best services out there? No. But, for the most part, we’re okay. However, we are very sympathetic to the rural areas still struggling to get services to their residents and businesses.” Mansfield said the ability and opportunity for community growth involves numerous factors, not just broad­ band. However, high-speed internet is an important factor; especially for residential development. The primary reason inter­ net providers are hesitant to expand into rural areas is the high cost of installing the infrastructure for servicin locations where would-be customers are spread apart. This assumption overlooks opportunities to service large businesses, manufacturers and corporations dependent on high speed broadband to support operations, ather information and keeping in close contact with their clients._____________________ “We are ^rateful that a local company like MEI is investing in infrastructure and expanding into some currently under-served areas, but that is still a fraction of the need in Barry County,” said Travis Alden, president of Barry County Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development. “In order to truly move the needle for this important economic devel­ opment, we unfortunately cannot wait for the market, in this case population density, to spark broadband expan­ sion.” He said rural area needs elected leaders to find a way to help speed up the rollout of this crucial piece of infra- Sen.

During his visit, he toured Hastings Fiberglass and learned about the company’s products and growth.

Alden said having dependable internet has outgrown being a luxury and is now a basic need. “Barry County has so much to offer in terms of quality of life and opportunity ” said Alden. “Yet one area where we're lacking is rural broadband access.” Peters, in a press release, said city councils in rural areas struggle to fund broadband projects themselves, and they struggle to convince Call 269-945-9554 for Sun & News ads t;:!?)»! to VILLAGE OF CALEDONIA COUNTY OF KENT NOTICE OF ADOPTION OF ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT AND SUMMARY OF THE REGULATORY EFFECT THEREOF i ng! if SJ II । ffl„» II I IF d ll! FW t I* lj^ li 1 / i|. » I I I 1 Ji I 1 1 Jlil ;; NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on March 12,2018, the Village Council of the Village of Caledonia adopted Ordinance No. O18-05Z, which amends the Zoning Ordinance of the Village of Caledonia.

He said the federal Ljovemment must fulfill its role in a national deployment of life-changing, critical innovations. He reminded the senate, the United States faced a parallel challenge with deployment of electricity which took strategic federal e> action to supply electricity to less populated rural areas. The expansion of senice areas raised the overall stan­ dard of living and spurred productivity in an agricultur­ al sector at risk of falling behind the growth of urban­ based industries. “If we can successfully electrify a nation, then we have no excuses not to con­ nect it to the internet in the modem era,” Peters said. “Rural electricity was the breakthrough of the 20th century. Universal high­ speed broadband will be the breakthrough of the 21 st cen­ tury, provided we invest in it. The impact to rural Barry County communities due to the lack of connectivity can be felt on many levels. Industrial zones tend to be located on the outskirts of villages, townships and cit­ ies. Without expansion of broadband service, there are no options to consider for expansion of current compa­ nies or new businesses searching for the right loca­ tion. Availability of high-speed broadband also affects resi­ dential development in rural areas. Households have become dependent on the amenities internet provides for entrepreneurs, telecom­ muters, students and more. “Universal broadband means rural prosperity, con­ tinued economic growth and international competitive­ ness, but we must invest in this goal in order to reach it,” Peters said. He urged his colleagues to make real investments in rural high-speed broadband a top priority in any infrastruc­ ture legislation.

Last April, two boys dis­ covered a fawn they thought had been orphaned by its mother. The young button buck was named Ivan, and he became a familiar neighborhood pet. The deer was released into the game area after it was weaned, where it assimilated into a herd. Ivan routinely visited his human neighbors, nibblin; on plants and vegetables left out for him to eat. He fre­ quently peered through win­ dows, beckoning his human friends for hugs and ear scratches. The youn;3 buck’s wild friends watched nervously at the edge of the neighborhood 142nd year Published by J-Ad Graphics, Inc. • 1351 N. M-43 Highway, Hastings, Ml 49058 as Ivan made his rounds. After getting his fill of greens and human interaction, Ivan would return to the woods with his herd, “Sometimes he’d see us, and the other deer would stand off a bit while he came and visited us, and then he’d go back to them,” said Mike Luce, who routinely saw the deer in his lawn, The neighbors tried not to feed Ivan regularly in order to encourage the young deer’s natural grazing. “We all liked him and took care of him,” Luce said. One of Luce’s neighbors grew concerned that the deer would becoming aggressive. Luce spoke with the neigh­ bors, who believed Ivan’s interaction with his human neighbors indicated he was ill. Luce, a retired state park ranger, informed his neigh- bor Ivan was simply a friendly deer, Unconvinced, the neigh­ bors feared Ivan would become aggressive durin; the fall rut. Again, Luce assured them when nature called, it would drive Ivan into the woods in search of does, not to his human neigh­ bors. Early last week, Ivan emerged from the forest to visit the Luces. “He likes to be petted and hugged,” Luce said. After indulging in some morsels and human affection, Ivan strolled across the property line. A gunshot rang out. A conservation officer, presumably called by Luce's neighbors, had shot the deer. “He shot and killed it,” * V­ r 1 * - V * AMI I 70 - ♦ •> 4 f 4 * ■ kF • a — । I* k A. 1 T L <1 -4W - - w r M • s J * — •• A r • * k Ml A tu k * k 4 Ivan often visited Marcia and Mike Luce.

Swivl tracks teacher move­ ments and student interac­ tion, combing audio and video for later review and assessment. Coaches review footage and audio to provide tips and insights to improve classroom learning environ­ ment. Children also had the opportunity to review foot­ age and hear answers to problems posited from class­ mates, allowing them to gain multiple perspectives on ideas taught in the class­ room. Teachers and students shared positive feedback, cit­ ing Swivl’s usefulness in providing footage for review­ ing instruction methods and helping students understand complex concepts. High school principal Brady Lake and curriculum director Janel Switzer informed the board of new federal funding requirements for at-risk high school stu­ dents. New funding mecha­ nisms require the approxi­ mately ten students attending Glenmore High School to be included in the district’s Cal Compass program and inte­ grate traditional high school classes into Glenmore students’ instruction, Glenmore students will receive supervision during and after their transition into ■V hwmrl trols at Emmons Lake in the amountof$56,488. Upgrades to the high school HVAC system totaling $31,461 were also approved. The board accepted bids for upgrades and repairs to the high school bus loop, tennis court resurfacing, and installation of a baseball press box. The $201,037 project will be covered by the school improvement bond and is set to start in the early summer.

The Middleville DDA has already committed $27,500 for facade improvements.

We’re hopeful we can get started by August at least,” she said. Village council member Jean Lamoreaux said she was very glad to see the building being renovated and reused. Schlientz said, if all goes well, portions of the building may be ready for occupancy by December or January. f » I I i c I In This Issue... • Middleville embraces B.

Luce said. “No questions asked, no talking to us. Nothing. He was just dead.” The Luces were within sight and earshot of the offi­ cer at the time. Luce ques­ tioned the officer why he hadn’t informed the neigh­ bors he was going to put Ivan down. The officer said the deer could become dangerous in the coming year, which Luce argued would likely not be the case. “He was a young officer. I don’t know what went on in his head, but he shouldn't have shot it,” Luce said. The neighbors shouldn't have called, either, Luce said, without informing the neighborhood of what might become of their beloved deer. Immediately after the inci­ dent, Facebook lit up with dismayed posts about Ivan's death, including photos of their experiences with Ivan since he was a fawn. “People aren’t too happy about what happened,” Luce said. • ’ Besides those who called the conservation officer, Luce isn’t aware of any neighbors who weren’t keen on a friendly neighborhood deer. Luce spent most of his working life in the state parks, starting as a seasonal park ranger in 1967. For the next 37 years, he worked primarily at the Yankee Springs Recreational Area as a full-time park ranger, as well as a commissioned con­ servation and park officer. Luce worked with many conservation officers over the years, but he said none would have dispatched a young deer like Ivan. “When I started in ‘67, it was a different breed of con­ versation officer then,” Luce said. “Now, they've sort of become more like police officers. You have to have a < f. r — — J — 1 — unwarranted fears about their wild neighbors. Even if an animal is friendly toward the humans who share its woods, the former park ranger said any natural aggression will let off its steam in nature, not on people. “They didn’t have to take his life because something might have happened next year, something that likely wouldn’t have happened anyway,” Luce said. The DNR saw it differently. The DNR received a com- s3 off The 1st Time Customers! • w certain feel for conservation, and I fear that’s being bred out of [new conservation officers] to become more like police officers who just hap­ pen to be in the woods.” This new training para­ digm led the young officer to needlessly kill Ivan, Luce said. “During my time, I had to kill animals,” Luce said. “But I never killed an animal like this. This is way beyond anything I’ve ever seen.” Luce had to put down injured or diseased animals as a DNR officer, but never a healthy button buck just because he fancied humans. The young buck could have been left alone or transferred to a deer park, Luce said. Either way, putting him down should not have been an option. “He wasn’t harming anyone, and he wasn’t sick,” Luce said. “He just liked people, and that was it, plain and simple, Deer will only become aggressive toward people when tethered or kept in cap­ tivity, Luce said. With free rein of the woods, Luce didn’t foresee a problem, When the rut kicks in. Luce assumed Ivan would be long gone, and far more interested in female white-tailed deer.

Also in Washington D.C., one of spring's most glorious events sees the blooming of hundreds of pink and white cherry blossom trees around the Tidal Basin at the National Mall. April 5 was the first American Arbor Day, started by J. Sterling Morton in Nebraska City, Nebraska. Morton, from Morton, originally Detroit, was among Detroit, the amon pioneers movin into the Nebraska Territory in 1854. He and his wife were lovers of nature and the home they established in Nebraska was quickly planted with trees, shrubs, and flowers. When Arbor Day was officially declared on April 10, 1872 in Nebraska City, an estimated one million trees were planted. Arbor Day continues to be celebrated as it encourages individuals and groups to plant trees. As a renewable resource, trees which have been harvested for use by individuals can be replanted which replenish the woods, forests, and parks. Earth Day, April 22, was founded in 1969 by Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin. He He was disturbed that an issue as important as the environment was not addressed by the media or in politics. So, he created the first Earth Day and now an estimated 20 million people nationwide attend festivities on this national day of conservation. Actually, Earth Day is now celebrated throughout the world. Celebrations such as benefit concerts, lectures and museum exhibits on environmental issues issues are environmental scattered everywhere. Celebrate April with a renewal of energy, of focus and of life. Think about the impact you as an individual can make in helping keep our environment clean and our earth healthy.

The proposal was drafted by the Gun Lake Protective Association specifically targeting Spoor’s marina on the south shores of Gun Lake. The township doesn’t man­ age its own zoning, so the resolution would have proved mostly symbolic. However, it would have sent a strong message to Spoor. The township board feared the singularity of the resolu­ tion’s language, concerned specifically of its usage of words which, technically, no longer applied to Spoor’s proposal. For example, the resolution used the word “marina” dozens of times, whereas officially (on paper, at least) Spoor’s new propospropos­ al ostensibly won’t exist as a “marina. manna. ” - Trustees also reasoned official opposition to Spoor would require opposition for other marinas as well, such as Matteson Marine. Spoor was mandated by the county to determine if his current 17 slips adheres to historical use. The county has yet to determine the legal status of Spoor’s existing slips. In a change of plans, Spoor amended his master plan to no longer use the word “marina” in his business plan, even though for all intents and purposes the pro­ posed facility will still oper­ ate as such. His new plan calls for an additional 30 dock slips, increasing boat capacity to 47. He also plans to construct a 12 ft. by 20 ft. concrete boat launch on the east end of the docks. While the board has its fair share of concerns against Spoor’s continually evolving plans (particularly traffic and pedestrian safety), they fell short of agreeing with the GLPA’s resolution, which they determined was based on subjective claims singularly targeted at Spoor. Content with its previous letter sent to Spoor listing township concerns, the board unanimously turned down the GLPA’s attempt to gain to township opposition Spoor's marina. The DEQ will conduct a public hearing to consider Spoor’s most recent applica­ tion on Wednesday, April 11 at 6 p.m. at the Orangeville Township Hall. Those interested in speaking in public comment are required to fill out a comment card prior to the public hearing. Julie Makarewicz Staff Writer As Middleville continues to grow, the need for public water and sewer services may become an issue a joint planning committee of Middleville and Thornapple Township will have to consider. The idea of extending ser­ vices to properties outside the village limits raises a host of questions and concerns that will need to be addressed. Village Manager Duane Weeks told council members at their Committee of Whole meeting on Tuesday. “If we’re not prepared, growth is going to go some­ place else,” said Weeks. “We want to make sure we man­ age the growth and build from the inside out.” Weeks said he wants to continue looking at all options for extending services and how to pay for them. “This is going to take as long as it takes to do it right,” maintained Weeks. “Having a bad plan is just a little bit better than having no plan." The main issues needed to be addressed are when, where and how the village could extend services and how property owners receiving those services would help pay for them. Weeks was given permission permission by by council council memmem­ bers to work on a proposal for how those issues would be handled. Weeks said some ideas, so far, could consider different options for services beyond the village limits, Those ideas include: - The village first deter­ mining if the capacity to sup­ ply those services is avail­ able. - Annexing land receiving services if the property is contiguous with village boundaries, - Offering services to prop­ erties not contiguous with the village, if capacity is avail­ able. If the village boundary is extended over time, the land previously non-contiguous and receiving services would then be required to be annexed, if adjacent to the village boundary. Weeks said there are also alternatives that can be concon­ contigu­ sidered for lands not contiguous to the village boundary including an agreement for shared services or other agreements with the property owners. Another option would be to not extend the services at all. “We’re working on what’s best if the village decides to extend services outside the limits,” said Weeks. He said he understands concerns of people who don’t need village services and are happy with their own water and sewer systems. “I wouldn't want to pay for it either if I had my own system and was happy with it.” Weeks said he would like to continue researching options and put together a proposal for consideration that he would bring back to the council and joint plan­ ning. “We’re continuing to see growth,” Weeks reminded council members. “We prob­ ably get two or more inquiries per week about possible growth and our expectation is that, unless something drastic happens, we'll continue to see that for the next few years." Weeks said it’s important for the village and the joint planning committee to be prepared to make good deci­ sions about growth, where are the most desirable areas for growth, and have plans ready to accommodate growth if it happens. A proposal will be prepared and presented for consideration to the council and the joint plan­ ning group. Township board disappointed with response from Bay Pointe Christian Yonkers Staff Writer Demands to rein in Bay Pointe before the wedding season begins have saturated Orangeville Township meet­ ings for months. In response to dozens of residents com­ plaining of Bay Pointe patrons’ noise and trespass­ ing, the board board sent a letter to Bay Pointe propri­ etor Mike Powers requesting increased security at Bay Pointe. Powers responded with a three- page letter, essentially reaffirming his intention to move forward with his plans. board, however, The impressed with wasn’t Powers' response. Clerk Mel Risner com­ mented that Powers' only concern seems to be with security at summer events, but a trespassing incident in early March suggests securi­ ty should be on staff for other events as well. Powers main­ tains that 24/7 security will prove cost prohibitive, and has opted instead to staff security during Bay Pointe events. In his letter, Powers cited zero past incidents at Bay “I believe we have thoroughly and adequately addressed the Orangeville Township Board and our immediate neighbors’ concerns. However we are continuously looking for ways to improve our growing business and our brand to be a better neighbor.” Mike Powers J Bay Pointe owner Pointe as an indicator of the business’s excellent track record and management. Some board members, how­ ever, fear those days are coming to an end. Trustee Linda Ribble said the Boathouse Villa has been open for only two years, which is when and where the problems started. “His letter means nothing to me,” Ribble said. Risner charged the neigh­ bors to call the police at the onset of any disturbance from Bay Pointe.

State St. Freeport, Ml 49325 616-765-5181 - The council will vote April 10 to approve a property swap with a village land owner. The village purowner, chased a lot for back taxes in 2017. The property is a back lot off of State Street that connects to protected wet­ lands in Spring Park. The village purchased the land to serve as a buffer for the wet­ lands area. The owner of 303 State St. owns two parcels that are cut in half by the village-owned lot. The owner is asking the village to swap parcels. The two parcels are the same size, but different in dimension, The land the village would acquire has road frontage on State Street while the other property does not. A shed on the property owner’s land is divided by.the property line, and the swap would allow the shed to be fully on the individual’s land. Weeks told council members the swap will help the land owner. Council members said they would agree to the swap as long as the property owner pays all expenses. %fa Loreen Niewenhuis DISTRICT tactthe the Michigan Michigan Department Department tact of Environmental Quality to see what permits are neces neces-­ sary sarv for the debris removal and what’s allowed to be removed.

Michigan United Conservation Clubs - along with local conservation dis­ tricts, Quality Deer Management Association branches, Pheasants Forever the chapters, National Wildlife Federation, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and many other partners - will hold a series of special habitat workshops around the Lower Peninsula to share informa­ tion on how to plant, manage and fund grassland habitats on private land. The Barry County work­ shop will be Tuesday, April 17, at 7 p.m. at Pierce Cedar Creek Institute, 701 W. Cloverdale Road in Hastings. In Kent County, a work­ shop is planned Wednesday, May 2, at 6 p.m., at Eagle Park, Room 105, 3260 Eagle Park Drive NE in Grand Rapids ■ Grassland habitats provide significant value to wildlife and to Michigan citizens. They filter water, collect car­ bon to help clean the air and hold down soil to prevent erosion. They also provide homes and food for a variety a i of wildlife, w*,d,ife’ including deer, songbirds, butterflies, tur tur-­ songbirds, butterflies, keys, pheasants and insects such as bees and butterflies that help pollinate important agricultural crops. These workshops are host­ ed in part by the Michigan Pheasant Restoration Initiative Coalition. This conservation initiative aims to restore and enhance Michigan pheasant habitat, populations and hunting opportunities on private and public lands via pheasant cooperatives. The initiative works by acquiring state and federal resources to assist landowners in the coopera­ tives to improve wildlife habitat on their properties and by improving habitat on selected state game areas, recreation areas or other pub­ lic lands.

Wild turkeys are found in all 68 counties of the Lower Peninsula and most counties in the Lipper Peninsula, where the species has continued to expand its range. In 1977, only 400 turkeys were taken during the Michigan hunting season. However, by 2014, annual numbers of turkeys taken had reached 30,000 birds. Michigan is now ranked eighth in the nation for number of turkeys taken by hunters. “We’ve had hunters from all over the country and many international hunters come to Michigan to hunt turkeys,” said Al Stewart, DNR upland game bird specialist “The comeback of the wild turkey is one of the greatest wildlife conservation stories, and we are happy to share our sue- L cess with others.” Boyer will give a tour of the new Turkey Tracts area, describing habitat manage­ ment practices that benefit turkeys and other wildlife within the the game area, within Management Management practices include timber cutting, selec­ tive use of herbicides, inva­ sive species treatment and removal, selective annual and perennial plantings, and prescribed bums, Boyer also will speak on the importance of partnerships. “Because of the partnership NWTF has with the DNR and local supporting businesses, we are able to make these Turkey Tracts happen, which allows hunt­ ers to experience turkey hunting in a way they may not have been able to in the past,” he said. NWTF NWTF CEO CEO Becky Humphries said habitat work is important to the success of the Turkey Tracts. This work parallels with NWTF’s Save the Habitat Save the Hunt initiative, she said. r« I I I 1 Cleanup day planned April 21 in Yankee Springs Christian Yonkers Staff Writer Yankee Springs Recreation Area and the Barry State Game Area offer unparal­ leled access to outdoor recre­ ation activities. But it comes at a slight cost. Even taxpay­ er dollars aren’t enough to keep the state park and game area clean from trash littering the trails and natural areas. In an effort to protect Yankee Springs, a group of stewards are organizing another cleanup day for the park and game area April 21. Volunteers will meet at the Yankee Springs Township fire bam at 9 a.m. before hitting the trails in search of litter. Muck boots, gloves and attire appropriate for the weather are recommended. Teams will divide and conquer to clean the areas worst affected by littering. In past years, volunteers have filled two dumpsters with anything from refrigerators and plastics to tires and couches. Trucks and trailers will be assigned to each team to haul litter to a dumpster stationed at the fire bam. Portions of the team plan to meet at the Curley Cone at 8 a.m. for a “pregame” warm-up of coffee and conversation. From there, it’s to the fire bam and the woods.' Anyone with a vested interest in protecting the beauty of the Yankee Springs area is welcomed to attend. More information is available by calling Mark Englerth, 269-838-1289.

Every month, you pay your mortgage. And, depend­ ing on your circumstances, you may be able to afford to put in additional payments perhaps sizable ones. But should you? Or, if you really have the extra money, should you invest it? Initially, you might think it would be quite nice to rid yourself of that mortgage sooner, rather than later. But is it really the burden it seems? Actually, you get some real benefits from a mort­ gage. It certainly provides something of great value to you - your home. If you got your mortgage - or refinanced your home - within the past decade or so, you are borrowing money at a pretty favorable interest rate, by historical standards. And even assuming a mild rate of inflation, such as we’ve had for the past several years, you’ll essentially be paying off your mortgage with cheaper and cheaper dollars over time. Plus, your interest payments may well be tax deductible. (The new tax laws limit deductions on new mortgages of $750,000 or more. For questions on your specific situation, consult your tax professional.) So, given these advantag­ es, an argument could be made that you should be in no hurry to pay off your mortgage. Still, you might be tempted to make the extra payments because you’ll be building home equity. After all, isn’t this equity valuable? It is - to a degree. The larger your home equity, the more money you’ll get to keep when you eventually sell your home, But in the meantime, that home equity may be less use­ ful than you might imagine. For one thing, just building more equity won’t make your home more valuable it will rise (or fall) in value value along with whatever’s happening in in the the housing housing marmar­ pening ket. ket. By By contrast, contrast, you you could could take the extra money and buy more shares in an investment such as stocks - and the more shares you own, the more valuable your invest­ ment will be if the price per share rises. Also, if you were to expe­ rience a temporary job loss or some other financial emergency, your home equity might not help you much; if you’re not working, you could even have trouble getting a home equity loan, Conversely, your investment portfolio can offer you great­ er liquidity, depending on your specific investments. Most investment vehicles, such as stocks and bonds, generally can be sold quick­ ly, without much difficulty. (Keep in mind, though, that if you were forced to sell investments when their price was down, you could take a loss on the sale.) Clearly, you could gain some advantages by using any extra money to invest, rather than paying down your mortgage. Nonetheless, you may simply get emotional and psychological satisfaction by speeding your progress toward the day when your house is paid off - and that type of satisfaction certainly has value. You’ll need to weigh these intangible factors carefully in deciding whether to increase your investments or make extra mortgage payments because, ultimately, you need to feel that you’re doing the right thing, for the right reasons.

One Caledonia resident plans on doing just that in Caledonia’s first annual Kidney Krawl, April 14. Modeled after a pub crawl, Kidney Krawl tours the best of Caledonia’s drinkeries with the singular mission of bringing an end to kidney disease. The crawl begins at the Family Tavern at 1 p.m. From there, kidney crusaders will travel by bus to the Essential Bean Coffee and Pub, and from there, to Real Arriero. Throughout the crawl, 50/50 raffles, door prizes, silent auctions, and beer bingo at the EB will sweeten the deal. All pro­ ceeds will go to the National Kidney Foundation to help research kidney disease treatment. “I wanted to organize a local fundraiser for the National Kidney Foundation in Caledonia that was fun and unique to the area,” says event founder and double kidney transplant recipient Julie Mavis. “I am fortunate to be working with three ;reat locally- owned busi­ nesses.” One in every ten Americans has kidney dis­ ease, according to the American Kidney Fund. Kidney disease is the ninth leading cause of death in the United States, putting 31 million U.S. adults at risk every year. Almost 50,000 lives are lost annually as a result of the disease. In Michigan alone, 900,000 people have kidney disease, many of whom are clueless to their silent condi­ tion. As a two-time kidney transplant recipient, Mavis understands the risks associ­ ated with the disease. Early onset of the disease and close brushes with mortality inspired Mavis to start a movement in her own com­ munity. Mavis was bom with kid­ ney disease. At just 18 months old, she had her first kidney surgery. Her parents knew her kidneys were dam- 599 I J / i jr 1 f 1 I If years, her kidney functions are normal. Her blood pres­ sure is under control without medication. Mavis recently competed in a Kettleball competition, proving a double-transplant kidney disease veteran doesn’t have to live a lesser lifestyle. • “With my kidney disease, I never thought 1 could be healthy enough to participate Iin a sport,” Mavis said. “So I also like to show how trans­ plant recipients can have a very healthy and strong life We Accept AH Insurances.

That junior crew is led by Lindsey Crank, who is making the move up from first doubles to first singles, and she will have some work to do as she adjusts taking on the top players from across the OK Red. There are players moving both ways in the line-up. Josie Stauffer was at second singles a year ago, and she will fill a spot on the first doubles team this season along with classmate Reegan Zomer who teamed with Crank in that spot a year ago. Karli Wilson is making the move from fourth singles to second singles, and Jonelle Shannon returns to the third singles spot she filled a year ago. Junior doubles players Abigail Diekevers and Joanna Alder are filling spots in the doubles line-up again this go around, possibly teaming up at the number soot. two spot. “Our juniors bring a lot of varsity experience to the sea­ son and will help our new­ comers adjust to varsity com­ petition,” Caledonia head coach Mike Wilson said. “They are an energetic group that likes each other and want to improve as tennis play­ <ers.

The Fighting Scots were second in the conference last spring with a fairly young roster, and have a dozen girls back from the team that was 11-5-3 overall in 2017. A strong group of seven seniors leads the way, a group that includes four-year start­ ers Alexis Cook at forward, Samantha Williams in the midfield and defender Grace Avery. Defender Jenna Konwerski, midfielder Kirsten Peek and defender Callie Delaney are all threeyear varsity players. Caledonia also has senior Abbie VandenBerg and junior Kendall Krupiczewicz teaming up to cover the goal­ keeper duties. Head coach Steve Sanxter also expects more good con­ tributions from junior mid­ fielders Kelsie Scharp and Malia Bauman, as well as sophomore midfielders Kristie Weninger, Holly Bowling, Katie Klomparens who were a part of the varsity last year as freshmen along with defender Cate Shirilia. There are four more fresh­ men on the roster this season, forward Amber Lewandowski, and midfield­ ers Audrey Torres, Carmen Maas and Avery Drennan. “The team is athletic and has good speed and a good mix of returning and new Brett Bremer Sports Editor As the school district grows so does the Caledonia varsity boys' track and field program. Caledonia head coach Kevin Remenap. who is entering his 15th season leading the Caledonia boys, said he has 100 athletes out for track and field this spring. “We should be able to plug in bodies just about any­ where ” he said. The Scots will go to work on finding and creating qual­ ity athletes to go with their quantity of athletes this spring. A few of the best returning for the Scots are senior throwers, Daniel Barnett and Tucker Babb. Barnett was eighth in the OK Red Conference in the shot put a year ago, and was one of the better discus throwers in the conference as well. Babb had a ninth-place finish in the discus at the OK Red Championship. Other standouts returning for the Scots are senior high jumper Chase VanSickel, senior sprinter Trenten Beemer and junior distance runners Evan Johnson and Jalen Banfill. Johnson and Banfill were a part of the Scots' 1600-meter relay team that was fifth in the confer­ ence a year ago, and Johnson had a solid 12th-place time in the 400-meter run at the con­ ference meet. The Scots will need Johnson and Banfill to be strong in the distance events where a great group of seniors graduated last spring, Grace Avery players,” coach Sanxter said, Coach Sanxter is entering his 15th season leading the Caledonia girls, and will be joined on the sideline once again by coach Jaime Pilbeam who has been help­ ing lead the program for a dozen years. Finishing in at or even near the top of the OK Red Conference will be a chai- lenge once again. Rockford, East Kentwood and Grandville have talented squads this spring. The Scots open conference play against the Grandville Bulldogs, in Caledonia, Tuesday. They will follow that up with a trip to East Kentwood Thursday. The Scots are currently 1-2 on the season. 1 F? i 3 - 4 % ., '.iOONU ' - Ht,, flbJ L •4 * !Z 1■ lift $ w J k 6* A Evan Johnson including all four members of the state qualifying 3200meter relay team. Sophomore sprinter Jackson Steenwyk is one of the top newcomers for the Caledonia team, but it will be a tall order to compete with the top sprinters in the OK Red Conference who are typ­ ically some of the best in the state. The East Kentwood Falcons and Rockford Rams were at or near the front of the pack in both the 400meter relay and the 800- meter relay a year ago, and their teams placed 1 -2 over­ all at the Division 1 State Finals in 2017. “The OK Red is brutal,” Remenap said. “We will be lucky to win a single dual meet. We are always compet­ itive for first place in our invitationals.” The Scots host their Soderman Relays April 28. They have a few meets before that, including the OK Red Conference opener at West Ottawa Wednesday.

Brett Bremer Sports Editor The Thomapple Kellogg varsity baseball team opens the OK Gold Conference season with a doubleheader at Wayland Union High School Tuesday, and then will host the Wildcats for a bailgame single ballgame in Middleville Thursday after­ noon. The Trojans went 1-3 in their three non-conference tune-ups before the start of spring break. TK was 16-20 overall last season, but manged to finish with a flourish. The Trojans edged Allegan and Hamilton to win a district champion­ ship in 2017 before falling to OK Gold Conference foe East Grand Rapids in the regional semifinals of the Division 2 state tournament. The Trojans bring back some pretty good ballplayers from that district champion­ ship squad, including pitchers Brenden Miller, Matt Lenard, Nathan Hobert and Dakota Phillips. Miller will be key for the Trojans on the mound, and has taken over a shortstop this season while also possessing strong skills as a catcher which he showed off with the varsity last sea­ son. That foursome is part of a list of ten seniors or^ the roster for TK this season. Hobert will man center field when he’s not on the mound, and could see some time at first base if need be. Also back are seniors Brenden Caswell and Kyler Podbevsek who could see time at catcher and/or in the outfield. The returning group of seniors also includes ■■ . I Colson Brummel, Caleb Gavette and Kyle Smith. Senior outfielder Logan Garbrecht is one of the few additions to the varsity roster this spring. Dylan Podbevsek is anoth­ er guy with catching ability, one of a handful of juniors up on the varsity this spring. That group also includes Jordan Hey, Evan Sidebotharh, Matt McNee and Brian Davidoski. The Trojans will follow up their conference opening set with Wayland by heading to the annual Barry County Invitational hosted by Hastings Saturday, April 14, and then test themselves against non-conference foes Northview and Lowell the following week. TK's annual Wooden Bat Invitational will be held Saturday, April 28. b n b - / z f 7 y- f li i i » •• w?4 4 S! '<3* £ . _ . .

The leaders in every indi­ vidual event, except for two, for the Thornapple Kellogg varsity boys’ track and field team at the OK Gold Conference Championship Meet at the end of the 2017 were seniors. The one return­ ee for the Trojan team among those top performers from the conference meet is junior thrower Cameron Mahon. Mahon set his personal record in the shot put at that meet at the end of his sopho­ more season, scoring a mark of 41 feet 1 inch that put him in eighth place. He was also the Trojans’ leader in the dis­ cus. He’ll be joined once again in the throws by senior team­ mate TJ Rowan, who was only about nine inches off that top mark by Mahon in the shot put at the first meet of this season. While there are new lead­ ers, there are a number of seniors on the roster. Nathan Kooiman, Colten Charles and Seth Macomber lead the sprinting crew. Charles and Kooiman were a part of the Trojans’ top sprint relay teams a year ago, and ran with Jordan Roobol at times who returns in the sprints and the pole vault. Graduation hit the Trojans’ hard in the distance events, with state qualifiers David Walter and Luke Noah mov­ ing on to the collegiate ranks.

Woodman said. Brett Bremer Sports Editor A junior filled Thornapple Kellogg varsity boys’ golf team showed off its improve­ ments as the season pro­ gressed last spring, and now the Trojans are hoping for big things with a senior filled roster. Junior Kyle Reil surprised even himself a bit by qualify­ ing for the Division 2 State Finals a year ago, shooting a 75 at the Trojans' regional tournament at Yankee Springs Golf Course. That score helped the team to a fourth-place regional finish, leaving them just two strokes behind OK Gold Conference foe Forest Hills Eastern for a spot in the state finals as a team. “I think our team as a lot of potential,” TK head coach Bob Kaminski said. “Most of the players on the team are returning from the previous season. They gained a lot of experience last year and hopefully they are able take advantage of this experi­ ence.” The group of returnees also includes seniors Jeremy VanSickle, Jarrett Baker, Brady Lajoye and Sam Finnie. Kaminski also has a group of varsity newcomers working for spots, a group that includes juniors Derek Winger, Tyler Sandborn, Daniel Hannapel and Blaine Rison, as well as sophomore Nate Jansma. ------------- :-------------u..

That crew is led by senior Grace Brown who is filling the first singles spot for the fourth season. She was a regional runner-up at first singles a year go, helping the Trojans to a regional champi­ onship as a team. TK head coach Larry Seger, who is leading the TK girls for a 44th season this spring, has six other mem­ bers of that regional champi­ onship line-up returning. Senior Kayla VanGessel, a regional champion at third singles last season, will fill the second singles spot for the first time this spring. Her sophomore sister Sydney VanGessel, who filled the No. 4 spot for the Trojans’ as a freshman, is currently play­ ing off with junior Karlie Raphael for the third and fourth singles spots. “Our singles player have a lot of experience,” Seger said, who is co-coaching once again with Philippe Sylvestre this season. “They should be pretty solid. We just need experience. We lack experience at doubles and we’re going to have to do the best we can to improve as we go along. The girls are doing the best they can. We’re just going to have goal of improving every day. We’re just going to get better every time that we take the court, whether its practice or a match.” Raphael teamed with Hannah Wright a year ago to finish as regional runners-up at fourth doubles. Those two hold most of the returning varsity doubles experience for TK. Wright is currently competing with junior Taylor Myers, sophomore Holly Bashore and sophomore Rachel Chesnutt, three new varsity players, for the spots on the second and third doubles teams. The Trojans’ fourth dou­ bles spot also has at least eight players vying for those positions in the varsity line­ up. There is a log of competition going on right now, and a lot of learning. The pro­ gram has 47 girls out this spring, and 19 of those are freshmen. “We’re excited also about the freshmen,” Seger said. “We’ve got 19 freshmen and we’ve got some good players that down the road are going to be very, very solid for us. It’s going to take some time for them to develop and improve. They’re all gungho right now, so we’re excit­ ed about the number and the enthusiasm we have on our team.” The Trojans were 15-3 overall last season and fin­ ished fourth in the OK Gold Conference, tied with South Christian behind state power­ houses Forest Hills Eastern, Grand Rapids Christian and East Grand Rapids. TK should be in a battle with the Sailors once again for a spot in the middle of the confer­ ence pack. Getting back to the state finals will be tough this spring. The Trojans are back to Grand Rapids Christian for their Division 3 Regional Tournament at the end of the season. Its a regional that includes the Eagles as well as the Forest Hills Eastern girls * The TK girls open the con­ ference season at home against Wayland Wednesday, and then face a tough non-conference test at home against Mona Shores Thursday.

Id <1 Tess Scheidel Brett Bremer Sports Editor The Trojans don’t know anything different than being champions at this point. The Thomapple Kellogg varsity girls’ soccer team takes the field this spring shooting for a fourth consec­ utive OK Gold Conference championship. The Trojans were 18-3-1 a year ago, finishing with the best record ever by a Thomapple Kellogg varsity girls’ soccer team, and tacked on a district championship at the end of the 2017 season as well. TK has some great leaders back hoping to continue their program’s success. Senior forward Kylie Adams and senior midfielder have both been a part of the last two conference championships, Adams was the team’s leading scorer with 14 goals and 8 assists a year ago. Scheidel is a tough defender in the midfield who also had 6 goals and 2 assists last year. The Trojan team also wel­ comes back senior defender Corissa King, who coach Joel Strickland calls a great leader on and off the field. TK had a great group of sophomores playin key roles a year ago, and they’ll have even more on the shoulders as juniors this spring, Junior Sarah Possett will form a formidable midfield duo with Scheidel once again. Kassidy Niles returns at sweeper where she helped the Trojans to 13 shutouts last season. Maddie Raymond returns on the attack for TK after a sophomore season in which she tallied five goals and eight assists. Sophomore forwards Sierah Adams Monica Bluhm and Carmen Beemer return after joining the varsity as freshmen. Sierah set a freshman record at TK with nine goals last spring, and works well together with her big sister Kylie. Bluhm, who joined the varsity midway through last season and could also see time at goalkeeper, tied the TK freshman record for assists with four a year ago. That trio will be joined by six sophomore classmates on the varsity this go around. Junior midfielder Ellie Adams will also be a key J addition for the Trojans this spring, “We have 21 this year on varsity, which is the largest we have ever had. All 21 are capable of playing and see­ ing time,” coach Strickland said. “This will lead to great competition for all the girls, but in the end with the tough schedule we have this season this will really help us that we don’t lack talent.” The Trojans tested them­ selves before spring break in tough match-ups with Grandville and Gull Lake. ’ TK is currently 1-2 overall this season. The Trojans open OK Gold Conference action at Wayland Tuesday and then will host Hamilton in a non-conference match-up April 13. There is a good chance that the OK Gold Conference comes down to the battles between the TK and South Christian girls once again. The first match-up between the two teams is Monday, April 23, in Middleville. The two teams match up at South Christian May 17. ft UlS Ullt «««» HP* ■*Mia *M|Kl sew?

Focusing on their furry friends in the community, they contacted the Barry County Animal Shelter and learned that shelter officials were in need of cat and dog food as well as chew toys for the dogs. Students then collected food items and old t-shirts that were transformed into the chew toys. Kim Gerber from the animal shelter visited the students at Lee to show students how to cut the old t-shirts into strips and then braid the strips to make the chew toys. “I felt good making the chew toys,” said sec­ ond-grader Logan Shank. “It was fun because we got to make a donation and make the animals happy too.” “It made me a better citi­ zen because I learned that there are a lot of ways to help our community,” added classmate Laila Duits. “I want to help the community more.” Fischer said it was a very positive experience for his young students. “It was great to see the kids grow as successful read­ ers and engaged citizens.” Elliot DeVries, left, and Liam Lietz show off the braided chew toy they made.

The five areas accounted for more than two-thirds of the estimated value of new projects in Barry County for 2017 with a combined total of $56.46 million in estimated value of new construction projects.

Spoor requests 47 slips from DEQ; collnty to Permil six total Traffic concerns again raised by Village Council b Christian Yonkers I Julie Makarewicz Staff Writer With Bradford White’s new truck entrance off Crane Road now fully operational, Middleville Village officials are more concerned than ever about traffic issues at Crane Road and M-37. Council members asked village administration at Tuesday’s meeting to again Michigan contact the Department of Traffic and request another traffic study be done at the intersection. A study was conducted there approximately two years ago and, at that time, MDOT officials said the amount of traffic did not warrant a traffie signal of any kind. Bradford White officials estimate 150 trucks per day enter and leave their facility with the majority of them traveling on Crane Road out to M-37. Department of Public Works Director Alec Belson said, with the village's new portable speed sign, he can use it to do a traffic count there. It will not record the number of trucks versus cars, but Belson said it would give the village a good idea of overall num­ bers of vehicles using the intersection. Council member Mike _ Lytle . said he believes it is> becoming a very congested area and, at times, he has seen several trucks and cars waiting on Crane Road to get onto M-37.

Neal lives adjacent to Spoor’s marina, The surveyor surmised a mistake was made in mapping Spoor’s riparian interest zone, which he concluded gives Spoor riparian rights incommensurate with his property size. Schock requested a stamped copy of Neal’s sur­ vey, which she said will be emailed to him shortly. Neal reported Spoor’s existing docks are so tightly configured that last year’s tenants consistently entered her and others’ riparian inter­ est zones. Neal even reported boats from Spoor’s marina mooring on her property, their passengers walking across her beach on their way to and from their boats. “It’s just been awful,” she said. “I feel like my rights have been violated all over the place.” James Deeters predicated the expansion would pose significant waste and disrespect to the lake and neigh­ bors, especially because Spoor’s tenants will likely nntheGnn not be Gun Lake Lake residents. residents. “A big part of how you decide is not to consider publie opinion, but to protect the public trust,” he said. “But standing here tonight is the public, and if you are protecting the public trust ... that lake is ours, all of us together. Everyone here tonight came because we are a part of the public trust, and we trust you to defend and guard that public trust.” To prove where the public stands, Deeters asked those opposed to Spoor's expan­ sion to stand. The vast majority of the room stood. He then asked those in support of Spoor to stand. No one stood. “Please guard this public trust that you talked about, whether or not you suppose to consider opinion,” Deeters concluded. Jeff Garret strongly warned against further boat traffic. “It’s a zoo out there, and people are dying,” he said, referencing a death on the lake last year. “Thereare just too many boats and not enough lake.” The DMEQ will accept public comments until April 21. A decision is expected to be made within two months of the close of the public comment period. Written comments may be mailed to MDEQ-WRD, Grand Rapids District Office, State Office Building, Fifth Floor, 250 Ottawa Ave. NW, Grand Rapids, MI 49503­ 2341. Spoor is still pursuing his expansion. Upon learning of the county’s decision, he wasn’t sure if he would challenge the county’s ruling. He didn’t indicate the county’s decision would dissuade him from going through with a marina if approved by the DEQ. “I’m not sure yet at this point,” said Spoor in a later interview. “I’ll have to con­ sult my legal counsel.” I * mT &;||J* i ^2 * <1 ” 4 Middleville TOPS 546 Monday’s meeting of Middleville TOPS 546 began with “A TOPS Club Clover Song,” the secretary’s report and roll call.

The victims wired approximately $180,000 to what they believed was the title office. The receiving bank of the wired funds fortunately felt the wire transfer was suspi­ cious and contacted the vic­ tim to question it. After realizing the wire transfer desti­ nation was fraudulent, the victim contacted the Kent County Sheriff’s Department for assistance, The Kent County Sheriff’s Department is urging citizens to use caution and make multiple inquiries, either in person or by telephone, prior to making large value wire transactions. Every effort should be made to contact the builder, realtor, title compa­ ny, and closing office prior to engaging in any transactions not made in person. The stress of purchasing new homes and wanting transac­ tions to go smoothly can make people more suscepti­ ble to these scams. It is important that anyone suspecting they are a victim, contact law enforcement as soon as possible because there are times wire transfers can be stopped.

But could the skills you deploy at gardening be transferred to other areas of your life such as investing? Here are a few ideas for doing just that: • Establish a timeline. As a gardener, you typically fol­ low a well-defined timeline. You need to get the soil ready a few months before you want to plant, and you need to plant at different times, depending on what plants you choose. You even need to set up a schedule for ill 9 watering, feeding, weeding and other garden care. As an investor, you may also need to observe a timeline. Durin •J the early and middle stages of your career, you probably need to invest primarily for growth, so you can build resources for a comfortable retirement. Then, as you near retirement, you may want to lower your risk level by shifting some - though certainly not all - of your investment dollars from jowth-oriented vehicles into income-producin: more ones. And once you do retire, your focus will shift to pre­ serving your money, so one of your key decisions will center on how much you can afford to withdraw each year from your investment portfolio. • Choose “healthy" investments. Gardeners like to choose plants they know will really last. That’s why they look for things such as green leaves, as opposed to brown or yellow ones, and thick stems, which usually indicate a plant is strong, healthy and capable of surviving a transition from the pot to the ground. And when you invest, you, too, should look for signs of health in the investments you choose. For example, when picking stocks, look for companies with solid fundamentals,9 such as experienced management, strong earnings and the demonstrated ability to produce products and services attractive to consumers. Or, when considerin bonds, consider those that independent rating agencies have awarded the highest grades, in terms of the financial strength of the issuer. • Feed your investments properly. Things like fertilizer and plant food can be valuable, but the most important element in plant nutrition is water. Underwatered plants will not survive, but overwatering your plants can certainly damage them severely. When you invest, you also need to know the right amount of “food,” or “nutrients,” to apply. If you don’t put enough money into investments, they may not grow as much as you’d like. On the other hand, it is possible to “overwater” certain investments. For example, if you constantly put money into just one or two investments, they could end up crowdin out others in your portfolio, causing you to lose the value of diversification. And if these particular investments are already growth-oriented vehicles, highly subject to market risk, they could take a >!4 hit durin downturn. Ultimately, seek a balance in how you distribute your investment dollars. Year after year, successful gardeners reap the rewards of their labors. And following some of their habits can help you work toward a long-lasting and fruitful investment garden, too.

Nine county employees were honored with the inaugural Barry County Employee Service Award Receiving recognition were Karolyn Brower, 15 years, drug court; Judy Hoolsema, 15 years, Friend of the Court; Susanne Huebner, five years, planning and zoning; Amber Jansens 10 years, sheriff’s department; Laurie Krol, 25 years, probation office; Steve Lehman, 10 years, sheriff’s department; Jay Olejneczak, 30 years, sheriff’s department; Bill Romph, five years, sheriff’s department; and Cece Weatherly, 15 years, Commission on Aeine. Aging. The meeting also included reminders of future challenges that will demand similarly employee responses to address. Chief among those was referenced by Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf durin his report on law ’ enforcement activity. Using data from two weeks ago to document the continuing■=4 space restrictions at the countyjail, Leaf told commissioners that 96 prisoners had been housed at the facility, just four below maximum numbers. Of growing concern are the more serious offenses for which inmates are servin time. “We’re getting gettin more and more serious charges as my career goes on here,” Leaf told commissioners, readin from a list of charges ranging from identity theft to dni; possession and homicide. “The problem we’re havin •J is that people are not able to post bond, and they’re staying longer. A couple individ­ uals have been incarcerated for over 350 days, but those people are waiting for a jury trial. You can’t let them out because you have to protect your public.” In remarks made after Tuesday’s meeting, Leaf clarified that such lengthy jail stays are not unusual for inmates charged with serious crimes and cannot be allevi­ ated by local courts alone. I “If you’re going to have a jury trial, you need time to get a trial organized,” Leaf said. “There are likely mental health exams involved, and you have to leave enough time for a defense team to get prepared ” The growing number of individuals charged with such serious offenses is put­ ting a capacity strain on the local jail. Accompanying Leaf, Lt. Pete Nevins pointed out that Tuesday the jail stood at 100 inmates, its maximum capacity. Three straight days of 100 inmates means we have to declare an overcrowding emergency,” Leaf said “and that opens up another whole set of problems.” Using the case of one pris­ oner charged with homicide and awaiting psychiatric evaluation, Leaf said the inmate had virtually destroyed two of the jail’s three maximum-security holding cells. During a time in which the jail was holding four individuals charged with homicide, having only one maximum-security cell avail­ able meant three other potentially dangerous individuals had to be housed with the general population, though Leaf said a more closely monitored subset subset of ofthe the gengenmonitored eral population of prisoners is available. “We need that committee,” Leaf told commissioners during his _presentation, sub_ tly referring to a past and continuing call for a study group to review prospects for a new jail. Leaf would likely wel­ come the assistance of deputy drain commissioner Tammy Berdecia on such a committee. Berdecia received credit from drain commissioner JimDull forstepping up toanothercounty challengeaddressed during the meeting, Displaying a photo of the drain commission’s newly purchased track loader, Dull told commissioners “You’ll notice the name ain’t right.

TK battled back a couple times in the opening ball­ game too, but couldn't get over the hump after falling behind 3-0 in the first inning. Wayland extended its lead to 10-3 through five innings, and TK rallied for four runs in the seventh before suc­ cumbing to Merice and the Wildcats.

A roll was estab­ lished to assess an approxi­ mate $94 fee per year per lakeside property for weed treatment. Lake residents have historically maintained the district for decades and solicited the township to re-establish the district. In public hearing, one of several dissenting speakers objected to the effectiveness of weed control on the lake and the use of chemical weed treatment harming the lake’s fish populations. Supervisor Bryan Harrison replied that the demand for weed treatment has remained consistent over the years and a majority of lakeside resi­ dents* supporting a special assessment district adds fur­ ther credence for the continu­ ation of a weed control spe­ cial assessment district on Campau Kettle Lake. The board confirmed the special assessment roll unan­ imously, with treasurer Dr. Richard Robertson absent. The board conducted a first reading to amend the township zoning ordinance to allow the rezoning of a parcel on 60tb Street. The developer plans to construct as multi-family apartment complex on the current site, which requires rezoning to proceed. The parcel, owned by Mark Tomasik, has been proposed for rezoning from agricultural to high density residential.

The board had a short timeline in which to name a replacement after Enslen announced his retirement in late February following six years in the position. After workin with consultant Dave Killips from the Michigan Leadership Institute, the board decided to post the position internally and review those candidates before moving to an external search, if needed. “When a board has a strong internal candidate the very best talent in another district is unlikely to apply because it is too risky for them,” the board wrote in a letter. posted on the school weblhLe odds are stackedn against them as an ouls,der. The consultant athered public input to put together a profile for the optimal candi­ date which the board could use to structure questions. Blitchok was the only inter­ nal candidate to apply. Many staff members and parents attended the 90-minute interview in which the board focused its questions on Blitchok’s background, experience, leadership style and goals for the district. Blitchok attended the University of Michigan before obtaining a law degree from Wayne State University, a Master of Business Administration in Finance from Western Michigan University and a Graduate Teacher Certification from Grand Valley State University. Blitchock found that nei­ ther law nor corporate finance were his passions and moved to teaching. He worked at various schools as a teacher, varsity wrestling coach and principal.

Mike Schmidt, DDA coordinator, said the marketing team considered what makes Middleville so awesome and decided that it’s not one single thing, but many things that make Middleville what it is to every person. For some it’s the schools. For others it’s the trails and nature. Still others say it’s the small town feel. “It's a combination of all things,” said Schmidt. “It’s who we are.” The marketing team is also working on a logo to use with all marketing tools to go along with the “My Middleville” brand. It hopes to incorporate all those things that makes Middleville spe­ cial to everyone. The market­ ing brand can be used to cross market different aspects of the village using “My Schools,” “My Music,” or even “My Outdoors.” Members of the DDA approved the renaming of the DDA and continued work on a logo for the organization whose main goal is to help promote and grow the Middleville area, to keep businesses in town, to attract new businesses, and to maintain a healthy and welcoming environment for the community. The change comes as the DDA also plans to move out of the village offices and into their own office space at 124 East Main Street - the home of the former Scoop ice cream shop. Schmidt said a signed lease agreement should be completed within a week or two. Owners are still trying to clear items out of the building the DDA does not want. But they’ve offered to leave whatever equipment the DDA might want to use including the ice cream counter and freezers. The DDA will use a portion of the building for its offices. Another portion will be used as a small retail area for items made in Barry County. Another part of the building will be used for two incubator businesses, one a small coffee shop and the other a possible meeting space. Two companies have already approached the DDA about leasing those incubator spaces spaces and, and, at Tuesday night’s meeting, members heard from from aa third third interested interested heard in aa space space for for aa start-up start-up busi busiin ­ ness. ness. Bill Miller, of Middleville Auto Center for the past eight years, told DDA members he would like to start a small coffee shop and gave them his proposal details. He said a coffee shop is much needed in the village and he has gained expert support from four partners in the venture. Miller added that he knows business, but he is not a restaurant expert. That’s why he partnered with others who do know the restaurant business. Miller said he also has a marketing plan for the coffee shop and financing is in place to get started. He said he would like the opportunity to be considered for the coffee shop space. DDA members said they will accept business plans for both the coffee shop area and the open space for meetings and gatherings, “We don’t want anyone to fail here," said Jason Van Dam, a DDA board member who thinks it is important to hear all interested business pitches before deciding on who gets the space. Schmidt said he has already been in talks with Johnny DeMaagd about a possible coffee shop plan, but agreed the board can look at all proposals and business plans to determine the best business plan for the space, DeMaagd has operated Left year.

Along with its offices, the DDA plans to provide up to three start-up spaces to assist new business ventures. The DDA’s “Barry'd Treasures" store will occupy one of the spaces. The madein-Barry-County store will provide display and sales space for up to 25 small Barry County businesses. These spaces are expected to bring not only sales, but also visibility for the business Spaces will be products. leased on a monthly basis to businesses whose products are made in Barry County. Another space will be leased to a coffee shop entre­ preneur whose main focus will be on providing coffee and associated fare. Michael Schmidt, DDA director, stat­ ed that this space will not be available to a business sell­ ing a product that competes with current restaurants in the village. Schmidt also said the DDA is not in the business to create competi­ tion but to establish business­ es to complement each other and provide product that is not available in the community presently. The third business will be an event space for small gatherings. Events such as birthday parties, showers, family gatherings, etc. could be held in this space. The space will be available for a start-up business to lease and manage. Any interested individuals for any of these spaces should contact Michael Schmidt at 269-795-3385 or at schmidtm@ villageofmiddleville.org by 5 p.m. on April 27. < CLOSER, continued from page 1 --'Wsistejjij fl I B 'tCti • nances, said Jim McManus, county planning and zoning administrator. ll When you have a planned unit development, when you look at the ordinance and you look at state law, there is a lot of flexibility and discre­ tion with the planning com­ mission in terms of their adjudication of the ordinanc­ es,” McManus said. “They have the right, essentially, to I *• ... kkh'M ■wait ♦ iwf *< I & (fe ISi i art do what they need to do to make the planned unit development efficient and functional.

Turkey Tracts is an infor­ mational kiosk designed to increase awareness and access to the great outdoors. Turkey Tracts resulted from a partnership with the NWTF and DNR. Barry County’s Turkey Tract is the third in a series of kiosks marking West Michigan’s best turkey habi­ tat. Local high school stu­ dents helped build the kiosks, with funds provided by licensing fees from the DNR. Despite cold weather, doz­ ens showed up last Friday in anticipation of the kiosk’s unveiling just off of M-179 in Yankee Springs Township. “We have to get mid­ dle-aged people back and involved in hunting,” said NWTF Michigan state chapter president Art Pelon. “Maybe they hunted back in high school. Maybe because of their career, they don’t have the time to hunt any- more.” Turkey Tracts, Pelon said, will help build awareness of the convenience of the state game area’s location as well as the hunting opportunities it affords. The kiosk shows an over­ lay map of the area, includ­ ing habitat types and infor­ mation on the Barry State Game Area. “We have so many com­ mon goals to provide not only quality hunting, but the opportunity to get other peo­ ple involved,” Pelon said. “This is a perfect example of where you can take folks to bring someone out do that here and go for a walk with them. It’s a beautiful way to enjoy our great state.” Barry County’s Turkey Tracts not only sits on world­ class turkey habitat, it also shares real estate with the Iron Belle Trail, a 2,000-mile trail running from Detroit to Ironwood. “This really creates an opportunity not just for hunters, but for hikers, birdwatchers and people who just want to walk,” said Dakota Hewlett with the DNR, who oversees the Iron Belle Trail. “This really shows the power in partner• • • si: Wr DNR and NWTF staff unveil the Turkey Tracts kiosk in Barry State Game Area April 13. x’.! r J >2 Is Addiction Destroying Your Family?

Conservation, he explained, is at the heart of hunting. Encouraging the sport benefits all who enjoy the wonders of the natural world. Mason lauded the com­ bined efforts of the North Country Trail, Iron Belle Trail, National Wild Turkey Federation, and the DNR in providing greater access to the state’s natural resources. “This is important to me personally, but also to the people of the state of Michigan,” Mason said. Barry State Game Area biologist Randy Heinze also played a pivotal role in estab­ lishing the Turkey Tract.

Reply to: Barry County Board of Commissioners e Long frustrated by open positions on numerous committees and boards that remain unfilled due to a lack of volunteers, Barry County commissioners began writ­ ing the solution to the dilem­ ma at Tuesday's committee of the whole meeting. “A few weeks ago, we set out to revamp this process and to reach out to new peo­ ple and new ways to better train applicants and appoin­ tees,” said Commission Chair Ben Geiger, who, at a meeting on Feb. 20, distrib­ “appointments uted an reform plan” and asked com­ missioners to accept areas of responsibility for the process. With a continuing paucity of volunteer candidates for positions on 26 advisory boards and committees, commissioners have been unable, in some cases, to fill commit­ tee and board slots vacated through resignation or term limits. In one extreme case involving the Agriculture Promotion Board, vacated positions once left that group unable to comply with quo­ rum requirements established by bylaws for voting or for even holding an official meeting.

Some residents blistered commis­ sioners Feb. 13 over the two appointments made to the Charlton Park Village and Museum board from a field of three candidates. After their personal evaluations of candidate credentials, rec­ ommendations from the Charlton Park board, and an open interview process, com­ missioners chose a newcom­ er with no volunteer experi­ ence at Charlton Park for one of the open positions over a longtime Charlton Park vol­ unteer and former Charlton Park board chair. Criticism of that appointment centered on no public discussion by the board on how and why it made its choice. Commissioner Vivian Conner reported on compari­ son research she’s currently conducted with Allegan and Mecosta counties where neither county’s voluntary appointment procedures even include interviews or consideration of candidate credentials by the county boards. “In Allegan County, the human resource director reviews all applications and conducts brief interviews,” Conner said. “If she recognizes a good candidate, she sets up interviews of the candidate with herself, the chair of the committee, members of the committee, and then the director of the (county board). They then make a recommendation to the coun­ ty commission. That keeps it from being political.” Mecosta County, by com­ parison, Conner said, “very seldom” even conducts can­ didate interviews. Applicants for open positions are dis­ cussed by the county admin­ istrator and board chair before making a final deci­ sion. “So, are there any take­ aways or conclusions?” Geiger asked of Conner’s be distributed notifying comresearch. “Yes, we need a human missioners and others of resources director,” Conner vacancies and upcoming openings on boards and com­ quipped.

Responding to Geiger’s comment that trends seem to be moving in a positive direction, Vandermark agreed, noting that a renaissance zone in Woodland Township will positively impact future tax revenue. -Approved the re-appoint­ ment of Jodi Trantham to the Barry County Solid Waste Oversight Board. -Heard Hope Township resident Joyce Snow announce her candidacy for District 3 county commis­ sioner. Snow served as a county commissioner from January 2013 to June 2015 when she resigned to accept a position as human resource director for the City of Battle Creek.

Respectfully submitted: Sandra Stelma, Clerk April 21 to 28 is National Infant Immunization Week. The annual observance aims to highlight the importance of protecting infants from vac­ cine-preventable diseases and celebrate the achieve­ ments of immunization. The Barry-Eaton District Health Department and com­ munities around the nation are recognizing National Infant Immunization Week and celebrating the critical roie vaccination plays in pro­ tecting the health of children, families and communities. Infants in the United States are protected against 14 preventable diseases when fully immunized. immunized. Vaccines Vaccines fully for jnfants are especially important because some of the diseases they protect against can be particularly dangerous for children 2 years old and younger. It is important for parents to follow the recommended immunization schedule to , , protect infants and children by providing immunity early in life, before children are exposed to potentially life-threatening diseases. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, among children bom between 1994 and 2013, vaccination will pre­ vent an estimated 322 million illnesses, 21 million hospital­ izations and 732,000 deaths over the course of their lifetime, Vaccine-preventable dis­ eases may seem like threats from the past; however, chil­ dren can still get and spread these diseases. The United States is seeing the return of vaccine-preventable diseases — such as measles, whoop­ ing cough and mumps — that had once been considered eliminated, said Lauren Cibor, community health promotion specialist with the local health department. It is extremely important that all infants are vaccinated on time, she said. It is the responsibility of parents, physicians and pub­ lie health providers to make sure all children are up to date on vaccinations, Cibor added. Parents should talk with their children’s health care providers to ensure their chiljren Up to date on vaccinations. Like the Sun & News on Facebook and stay up to date on local news! If parents cannot afford immunizations for their chil­ dren or have further questions, they may call the health department’s immunization clinic, 269-798-4133, in Barry County or 517-541­ 2630 in Eaton County.

VanSickle and Mahacek kept going. VanSickle celebrated with teammates and hands pointing to the sky after clearing 6-4 on his third attempt and then made it over 6-6 on his first try. Mahacek joined him over the bat at 6-4, but didn't have the lift to clear 6-6. The top five The goal for the season was to get over the high jump bar at 6 feet 6 inches. Caledonia senior Chas VanSickle managed that at just the second meet of the year. Now the sky is the limit. VanSickle won the high jump Thursday in the Fighting Scot varsity boys' track and field team’s OK Red Conference dual with Grand Haven, clearing the bar at 6-7 before finally fail­ ing in three attempts at 6-8. His previous personal record in the event was 6-2. He scissor kicked over the bar at 5-3 in the Caledonia boys' victory at West Ottawa last week, just doing enough to get the first place points for the Scots in their victory over the Panthers. He cleared 6-0 at the fol­ lowing practice and was hop­ ing to match his PR of 6-2 on the first warm, sunny after­ noon of the season Thursday, but then Grand Haven soph­ omore Joe Costello and junior Mason Mahacek both kept clearing the bar as it moved up and so did VanSickle. “Honestly, I was pretty pumped about it,” VanSickle Caledonia ’ s Sydney Redwine gets the baton said. “All the glory to God for that one.

His team’s dual with East Kentwood Tuesday was postponed because of the weather. He said he took about three months off with­ out many workouts before the season. He attributed much off his surprising suc­ cess Thursday to just “grow­ ing as a person in general .” VanSickle also set a new PR in the long jump, but was just shy of the final scoring spot. He flew 19-7.25 in that event. His PR at the high jump pit and a pretty good performance by the Caledonia guys in the field events as a whole wasn’t enough to get the Scots a second OK Red Conference win on the sea­ son.

The Fighting Scots defend­ ed well as a team, with defenders Jenna Konwerski, Carsyn Geik and Grace Avery having a strong game in front of keeper Abbie VandenBerg. They only allowed four shots on goal all game long. The Scots did misplay a Rockford restart which allowed the Rams to take a l-0 lead in the 16th minute of action. Caledonia head coach Steve Sanxter said his girls created three great scoring opportunities throughout the! remainder of the first half and did a nice job of connect­ fing passes together in the second half. The Scots didn't: get enough good scoring chances out of those passes in the second half though. With all but one defender pushed up on the attack on a comer kick with two minutes to play Rockford was able to turn a long clearance into a breakaway goal that sealed its victory.

M-43 Highway, Hastings, Ml 49058 Planned road project may cause back-to-school traffic jams Julie Makarewicz Staff Writer A proposed road recon­ struction project in Middleville this summer will likely cause major headaches when Thomapple Kellogg School students head back to classrooms in August. Village Manager Duane Weeks told the village council Tuesday the project will not go on the state bid site until June 1 meaning the improvement effort likely won’t be completed until the end of August — two weeks after TK students return to school on Aug. 21. The project runs between Sixth Street and Robin Street, directly in front of Lee Elementary School and as the major trunk line con­ necting all the other schools. The project includes installing 12-inch water main and some sanitary sewer lat­ erals, which required review and approval by the DepartmentofEnvironmental Quality. Sanitary sewer will also be installed throughout the area and additional sidewalks will be added along the north side of the road. There will also be a new curb and gutter for the road and new road striping to indicate a turn lane at Lee Elementary p q A itoin)8 slbbiM jylojlil nariw loofio? 07886L slhV Iro og Jon L Ibnu foiqmi I f now to brrj T lofts loorfO2 orlT ttaiE ,155712 H ssJ 8£ jniJoen hiT illsjzn i 08 bns r .zlfiia bnis liteup d ozLs tb erii ailfiw )n □isrTT jg boa □ i wen Imuta School. Weeks told council members earlier he hoped the project could be bid in May and be ready to start as soon as school let out June 1. That timetable was not met, however. Estimated cost of the project is $451,000 to be paid by using using funds funds from from sewer, sewer, water water and and major major street street funds funds as as well well as as aa $131,000 $ 131,000 Rural Rural Task Force grant. If the bids come back higher than anticipated, ipated, there there could could be be aa chance chance the the village village could could concon­ sider postponing the project for another year. “The bid letting is a month later than we hoped for,’’ said Weeks. “We’ll be in contact with the schools and put a plan in place.” Weeks said there will like­ ly also be public meetings on the project and information shared to make people aware of alternate routes. In other business at Tuesday's council meeting: - Weeks reported he attended the Small Town and Development Rural Conference. Some of the sessions he attended included small town retailing, grant writing, improving rural connectivity, talent development and rural housing. The key­ note speaker addressed the Strong Town concept meanmean­ ing the the town town’s’s strength strength and and ing wealth is built by building its core, not not expanding expanding borders borders core, and growing outward. - Weeks reported the WellheadProtection Group met to discuss best uses for receipt of a $2,500. The funds are restricted and can only be used for items or projects outlined in the grant proposal. The grant proposed purchase of a groundwater model, coloring books, bro­ chures and additional banners. The group opted to purchase a ground water model to be used for educational purposes. It also agreed to reach out to TK art classes to possibly consider drawing a story coloring book focusing on the importance of clean water and how to protect water supplies. - Heard from planning and zoning administrator Brian Urquhart about the need for a community development plan as part of the community development block grant application for the redevel­ opment project at 101 East Main St. The plan should outline the village’s community development and housing needs for the village, an assessment of the needs and problems facing the village including needs of low to moderate income income people, people, moderate The plan plan also also needs needs to to The include aa summary summary of of both both include long and short-term activities to address the identified needs and problems and then discuss how the project at 101 East Main Street will impact the community.

Now, largely because of the routine vaccination of pets against rabies, deaths due to the disease are extremely rare. Rabies is a preventable disease of mammals that is spread through the bite or scratch of a rabid animal. Rabies is fatal for both peopie and animals once symp­ toms start. For that reason, an estimated 40,000 people in the United States receive rabies post-exposure treat­ ment each year. Many of these cases happen because someone is bitten either by a wild mammal, such as a bat, or unvacci-­ or by aa potentially potentially unvacci nated nated dog dog or or cat. cat. Many Many rabies rabies post-exposure post-exposure treatments avoided treatments can can be be avoided after an animal bite if it can be confirmed that the dog or cat was up to date on its rabies vaccination. Michigan law requires that all dogs must have a current rabies vaccination. In addi­ tion, it is recommended that all cats and ferrets be vacci­ nated against rabies. Pet owners are urged to follow these steps to protect themselves, their families and pets from rabies: • Visit a veterinarian on a regular basis and keep rabies vaccinations up to date for all cats, ferrets and dogs. • Maintain control of pets by keeping cats and ferrets indoors and keeping dogs under direct supervision.

Of course, how much you pay in taxes depends on a variety of factors, many of which you can’t control. But you might give some thought to how you can manage your investment-related taxes. Here are some suggestions to consider: • Contribute to your employers retirement plan. If your employer offers a 401(k) or similar plan, such as a 403(b) or 457(b), con­ tribute as much as you can afford. The more pre-tax dol­ lars you put in to your retire­ ment plan, the lower your taxable income. Your employer also may offer a Roth 401(k) option, under which you invest after-tax dollars, so your annual income won’t be lowered and your withdrawals will be tax-free. • Contribute to an IRA. Even if you have a 401 (k) or similar plan, you may still be eligible to contribute to an IRA. With a traditional IRA, your contributions may be fully or partially deductible, depending on your income level; with a Roth IRA, con­ tributions are not deductible, but your earnings can grow tax-free, provided you’ve had your account at least five years and you don't start tak­ ing withdrawals until you’re 59%. • Follow a "buy-and-hold strategy. You can't control the price movements of your investments, but if you do achieve gains, you can decide when to take them and this timing can make a substantial difference in your tax situation. If you sell investments that you’ve owned for one year or less and their value has increased, you may need to pay capital gains taxes at your personal income tax rate, which, in 2018, could be as high as 37 percent. But if you hold investments for more than one year before selling them, ft decisions on buying and sell­ ing stocks or investing in companies that may pay divi­ dends. Of course, it’s still a good idea to consult with your tax advisor on how the totality of the new laws will affect you. Ultimately, your invest­ ment decisions shouldn’t be driven only by tax implica­ tions - nonetheless, it doesn’t hurt to lake steps to become a tax-smart investor. This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor. f 0. ir youd be assessed the longterm capital gains rate, which is 0, 15 or 20 percent, or a combination of those rates. municipal Consider bonds. If you're in one of the higher tax brackets, you may benefit from investing in municipal bonds. The inter­ est on these bonds is typical­ ly free of federal taxes, and possibly even state and local taxes. Interest from some types of municipal bonds may be subject to the altemative minimum tax (AMT). However, because of the new tax laws, the AMT exemp­ tion amounts were increased significantly, You might be wondering what these new laws mean to investors. In terms of your regular investment activities ’ the effect might not be that significant. The lax brackets for qualified dividends and capital gains - such as those realized when you sell stocks - will remain about the same. This means that most inves­ tors will continue to pay 15% to 20% on long-term capital gains and dividends. Consequently, the new lax laws shouldn’t really affect you much in terms of your. > LIGHT TRUCK PARTS !

Slream & Lake Map of I I I Christian Yonkers Staff Writer Thanks to the collabora­ tive efforts of government and private citizens, state land in Yankee Springs Township is now a little bit cleaner. Last Saturday, a group consisting of government officials and private citizens descended on Yankee Springs Recreation Area and the Barry State Game Area to rid the landscape of litter. “The word intergovemmental cooperation is a great word, but you rarely see it happen,” laughed Mark Englerth, who helped organize the event. “~ Even the dumpsters represent govern­ ment cooperation.” Dumpsters were supplied courtesy of the DNR. Volunteers who rolled r" up their sleeves included town­ ship trustees, Michigan ■!i House Representative Julie Calley, county commissioner Vivian Conner, and Randy Heinize of the Barry State Game Area. To Englerth, the gesture proved that coopera­ tion between governmental entities is possible and effec­ tive. Englerth thanked reveryone whose dedication __j to Yankee Springs moved them to roll up their sleeves in care of the land they love. Representatives from Dauntless Jeepers volunteered their jeeps and man­ power beside that of the DNR and government offi­ cials. “This is a positive step in the right direction of every­ one moving to take care of a place that we truly love,” Englerth said. The state has become cleaner in recent decades, Englerth continued. >Z4 Why every angler and boater needs this map LOST STREAM MAP The STREAM & LAKE MAP OF Professor Higbee's* Stream & Lake Map of Michigan is the first and only highly detailed map of its kind.

Paul Kayser, a third gener­ ation family member of CFE said the elevator was always convenient for his farm just a couple of miles away. “It’s been a good local place to buy and market crops,” noted Paul. “This was the place to take your crops for storage and market­ ing and to buy all our sup­ plies.” Gerald said, even though there will undoubtedly con­ tinue to be many changes in farming in the next 100 years, he believes if the co-op continues doing what it does now, there will still be a need and a place for CFE. The Wenger family also has four generations involved in the CFE with fourth-generation member Phil Wenger now serving as the board president. Joe Wenger was a found­ ing member of CFE.

Bob Wenger said there were many trying times for the elevator and even years when it seemed the company wouldn’t survive. He credited longtime manager Bob Newman with holding the co-op together. “The elevator has been important for our area farm­ ers to stay in business,” said Bob Wenger. “I hope it con­ tinues for another 100 years.” Current stakeholders are grateful for the groundwork laid so many years ago and the leadership provided in the group. “It’s a dedicated membership,” said Troy Bowman, a current CFE board member. “The elevator offers great services and our ag commu­ nities are quite loyal to the organization It’s just a great way for everybody to work together.” Members of the co-op aren’t just members - they’re owners.

Those specialized services have boomed with the start of agronomy operations in Caledonia and Lake Odessa. Today, custom spray applica­ tors cover 212,000 acres in West Michigan. . “The co-op has greater buying and marketing power that, individually, we wouldn’t have,” said Tom Eckert, a current CFE board member. “It’s a team effort. “We get membership patronage back - that’s a big part of it too. It’s a financial bonus. The better the co-op does, the better everybody does.” . The first patronage divi­ dends were paid out to stake­ holders in 1937. In 2018, the elevator declared $ 1.252 million in total patronage dividends and issued checks for 40 percent ($500,800) of that amount to the stakehold­ ers. CFE has stood the test of time overcoming very diffi­ cult years during the Depression and into the World War era and then enjoying growth and expan­ sion in the 1950s to 1970s. More recession years followed in the 1980s leading to the revitalized growth being seen today with main offices and plants in Caledonia and branch outlets in Lake Odessa. CFE now serves customers and members as far south as the Indiana bor- der, west to the lakeshore, north to the Mt. Pleasant area and east to near Lansing.

Elm • Wayland 269-792-2249 �1 ,1 f. o V Christian Yonkers Staff Writer Teachers at Dutton Elementary are following a road map to better learning in the classroom. Across the school, a new method of visualizing thought process­ es is gaining ground. Unlike traditional visual aids such as dry erase boards, a new experimental method puts the power of learning in the hands of the student. In the quest for deeper thinking levels and retention in students, Dutton staff have employed thinking maps, a visual conceptualization tool making it easier than ever for students to put their thoughts on paper and map the pro­ cess of their learning in a fun and engaging way. . “Common core is really pushing deeper level think­ ing and application of infor­ mation,” said Dutton Elementary principal Shawn Veitch in a presentation before the board of education An excited Niko Herrera shows off his constructed Tuesday. “We needed a tool response flow map which helped him sequence ideas in to teach kids how to think the topic of sibling rivalry.

Samantha Williams buried a PK late in the first half after teammate Amber Lewandowski was taken down in the box. Lewandowski got to finish a chance herself 16 minutes into the second half to put Caledonia up 2-0. Lexi Cook played a ball into the box that bounced around several players before Lewandowski got a foot on it to put it into the back of the net. West Ottawa notched its lone goal with ten minutes to play The Caledonia defense was once again strong led by Grace Avery, Jenna Konwerski and Carsyn Geik. Holly Bowling and Sam Williams were strong in the midfield. Keeper Abbie VandenBerg recorded seven saves. The Scots are 3-5-1 overall heading into a non-conference match at home against Portage Northern today (April 28). That one tie came Monday as the Scots and Hudsonville Eagles battled through 80 scoreless minutes in their first conference showdown.

We're strug­ gling to convert those though," Caledonia head coach Steve Sanxter said. “We can’t let that many of them go by, but overall I thought there were a lot of positives. I think we still lapsed into some periods of play where we couldn’t get our focus going and keep possession of the ball, but once we got a rhythm built 1 really thought we did a nice job." He said his girls are still working on learning when to take chances and when to play things safe on the attack, Some of his attackers are working on taking more shots and others are working to be more selective with their shots. The Caledonia defense was able to safely turn aside the few Eagle chances that got over or through it. I thought we played well enough tonight that if we'd played this way in some of the games we've lost we'd have had a different result," Sanxter said.

Forest Hills nipped the Thomapple Kellogg varsity girls’ soccer team 2-1 in Middleville Wednesday eve­ ning after a 3-2 win by the South Christian girls’ in Middleville Monday against the three-time defending conference champs. The TK ladies had a onegoal lead in both of the ball­ games. After a strong start to the second half against the Hawks Wednesday, the Trojans let down a bit. “We have to learn to finish games out,” TK head coach Joel Strickland said. “This is a very young team and it will come in time. They are resil­ ient and I believe they will get there. “Our biggest issue the last two games has been finish­ ing games. A big part of that is a lack of trust we have in our teammates right now and we aren't playing together. together, We have to fix that and learn to play as a team for an entire 80 minutes. If we can do that we will will be be fine. fine.”” we Forest Hills Eastern evened its bailgame with the Trojans with 27:51 to go in the second half, charging in hard and firing a shot from right to left that rang off the far post. Megan Przybysz beat the TK defenders to the rebound and pounded a hard shot into the open net. Three minutes later the Hawks pulled in front on a goal by junior attacker Rylee Michaels, who was a thorn in the Trojans’ side all evening long. The Hawks were able to dribble through the center of the TK defense to score what turned out to be the game-wining goal. Sarah Possett scored the lone goal for TK, 10:53 into the second half. Maddie Raymond broke up the left side with the ball and rolled a pass to Possett who was waiting 15 yards out in front of the Hawks’ net. Possett chipped a shot up and over the FHE keeper from there, The first half was as back and forth battle, with both offenses creating scoring chances and both defenses and keepers making fine plays as well. The Trojan goal in the second half seemed to ignite a spark under the Hawks though, FHE is now 3-0-1 in the conference this season, The South Christian girls improved to 4-0 in the conference with their win Monday. The Sailors and Trojans have each won two outright conference championships in the past five seasons, and shared the title the other time. Sierah Adams shot a ball that found a post ten minutes into the game and Raymond ran onto the rebound and fired into the net to put TK up 1-0 on the undefeated Sailors.

The second, off a shot by teammate Tess Scheidel, put TK up 2-1 later in the first half, after the Sailors converted on a free kick in the Trojans' end. The Sailors’ kick, from Alyssa Visser, deflected off the Trojans’ defensive wall and into the comer of the net. “It was really one of those unlucky plays where if it wasn’t for a deflection from our own team that ball wouldn’t have gone in,” Strickland said. “I felt like the first half we wanted it and really played well.” TK controlled much of the first ten minutes of the sec­ ond half, but the Sailors finally broke into the Trojans' * kirk ‘■’•U " 1 Wil 1*1 ■**«« r 1* wa Wstai'■ • " X ■ '1 i ■* j ZTT 73 loss especially with how our girls played.” It was the sailors who would find the winning goal with 15 minutes to go.

There were four three-set matches in the dual between the two long-time conference foes who have been locked in an annual battle for fourth place in the OK Gold Conference in the past few seasons since the addition of powerhouses East Grand Rapids, Grand Rapids Christian and Forest Hills Eastern. TK’s three-set win on the afternoon came from Karlie Raphael in the fourth singles match. She fell 6-2 to South Christian’s Eden VanderWeeie in the opening set, but rallied for a 6-3, 6-2 win in the final two sets. The Trojans won three of the four singles matches. Kayla VanGessel scored a 6-1, 6-4 victory over Molly Elenbaas at second singles and Sydney VanGessel bested Maddie Wieringa 6-2, 6-0 at third singles. South Christian’s top play­ er, Olivia Kelley, pulled out a 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 win over TK’s Grace Brown in the first sin­ gles match. “We had a lot of ways to win that match, and again I think the inexperience showed up at times,” TK head coach Larry Seger said of the dual as a whole. “We had leads in a number of places and just didn’t close, but all in all I feel that our best match of the year was that South Christian one. “I especially thought our doubles teams played a lot better, sometimes in losing efforts. The rallies were ionger the court position was better the volleys were better. There were a lot of things that stood out, and South Christian has a very, very good team as well. We would have liked to have gotten it. We did have a couple of match points in a match we did lose, so we were within one swing of the racket and we just couldn’t get it.” TK got its fourth point from the first doubles team of Braelyn Durkee and Kylee Vreeland that beat Natalie Summer and Samdal Michmerhuizen 6-3, 6-3. The TK duo of Caliegh Zoet and Josie Thompson at fourth doubles scored a 6-4 win its its opening set against South Christian’s Hannah Jongsma and Naomi Baker, but saw the Sailor team rally for a 6-4 win in the secnod set and then take the third 7-6(8) in a tie-breaker. The third doubles match went three sets too, with TK’s Taylor Myers and Rachael Chessnut falling 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 to South Christian's Emma Vande Kieft and Anneke Mensonides. The South Christian team of Mandy Honderd and Kalley Groelsma scored a 6-2, 6-3 win over TK’s Hannah Wright and Holly Bashore at second doubles. TK fell. 7-1 in another tough OK Gold Conference dual Monday at Grand Rapids Christian. TK’s lone point against the sec­ ond-ranked team in the state in Division 3 came from Kayla VanGessel at second singles who scored a 4-6, 6-4,6-2 win. 1Coach Seger was also pleased with with his his first first doubles doubles pleased duo duo of of Durkee Durkee and and Vreeland Vreeland which which pushed pushed their their Eagle Eagle opponents to three sets before falling. Hamilton edged the TK girls 20-18 at the top of the standings Saturday at the Hawkeyes’ four-team invita­ tional. Otsego was third with ten points and Wyoming fourth with two. “The inexperience at the lower end of our line-up showed up a little bit,” Seger said, something he also noticed in the dual with South Christian, “We didn’t finish a couple of matches. We were within two matches of winning the tournament and both of them were lost there in tie-breaks, so we were right there on the edge and just didn’t get over the hump.” Brown, Kayla VanGessel and Sydney VanGessel each won their flights on the sin- gles side, while the Trojan doubles teams of Durkee and Vreeland at number one, Wright and Bashore at number two and Zoet and Brooke Thompson at number four all tie were flight runners-up. The teams played duals against each other. TK bested Otsego 7-1 and Wyoming 8-0 while falling 5-3 to the host Hawkeyes.

The district’s board of education announced its final two candidates Tuesday. Dr. Dedrick Martin and Scott Smith were selected from a pool of four finalists for sec­ ondary interviews next week. After tense deliberation by the board, Pete Bush (super­ intendent of Coloma Community Schools) and Peggy Mathis (superinten­ dent of Newaygo Public Schools) were kindly shown the door. Candidates received 75 minutes to answer board questions and hopefully cement their place in final interviews. The competition was fierce and every candidate well qualified, but Caledonia Schools can have only one superintendent. “Each and every one of these talented candidates are going places in their careers,” said search consultant Gary Rider.

Village to consider mute swan management plan Julie Makarewicz > Staff Writer nA DJO23SI ibnsjxo to noil Dt 2OSW2 sdmsm innnoo w ni bairns fl nslq JSW2 .2OJSW2 iuo ol izsn to! oni2 A mute swan management plan between the Village of Middleville and the Department of Natural Resources will likely be extended to continue protec­ tion of the native trumpeter swans in the area following discussion by village council members at their Tuesday committee of the whole meeting. In May 2012, the village entered into the management plan for five years. Mute swans are bigger and stron­ ger and more aggressive than the native trumpeter swans. The mute swans tend to out-compete trumpeters for nesting sites. Since the management plan was put in place, the village now has a pair of trumpeter swansfrequenting the Mill Pond area. The number of pairs of mute swans has decreased from more than 10 pairs five years ago to just one pair at the Mill Pond now. Still, DNR officials worry that if mute swan removal does not con­ tinue, the trumpeters will likely not nest on the Mill Pond. Council members will formally vote on the agreement at their May 8 meeting. In other matters at the committee of the whole meeting: - Village Manager Duane Weeks reported the village received a $3,000 grant from the Barry County Parks and Depot will will be be open open for for tours tours Recreation to help with costs Depot from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. of installation of a drinking fountain, water bottle filling Saturday, May 5 and from station station and and pet pet drinking drinking stasta­ noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday, tion tion near near the the Paul Paul Henry Henry May May 66 as as part part of of the the TriTri­ River Museum Tour.

Cost sharing with the Kent Count Road Commission will cut the price in half for the town­ ship, which will pay only $200,000 in 2018 and $600,000 cumulatively for the entire project. The plan calls for work along 40.9 miles of primary roads, 34.5 miles of local paved roads, and 8.2 miles of gravel roads, The current year will see $210,000 in road improve­ ments to the East Campau Lake neighborhood. $45,000 isis set set aside aside for for Beaver Beaver Street, Street, $30,000 for Deer Forest Meadows and Red Haven, $24,500 at Alaska Court, and $90,000 for Duncan "Lake Avenue (100th to 108th). In 2019, the Jasonville Farms neighborhood will receive $280,000 in repairs and upgrades. Alaska Avenue (84th to 92nd) will receive $90,000.

If we don’t enforce this, why bother hav­ ing ordinances at all?” asked Cramer. “Three years of put­ ting up with this is too long. We need to fix this now.” People park along Stadium Drive during the spring to get to the baseball fields at McFall Elementary or to watch games from their vehi­ cles. But Cramer said parking on the streets is creating a safety hazard. He said if there is a fire and emergency vehicles need to get down the street it will be nearly impossible with the vehicles parked the way they do. Cramer noted that there is plenty of parking available at the school and a walking path to the ball field. He was most frustrated, he said, because he has brought up this issue repeatedly. Cramer said he had under­ stood that an officer was going to be in the area during the last ball game and warn lie s the water at Hill Creek where he often fished. David Neeson, 70, was recovered from the creek by a family member who went looking for him after he did not return home from fishing that afternoon. The family member pulled Neeson from the water, then tried to resus­ citate him. Neeson was pro­ nounced dead shortly after 1 a.m. at Spectrum Health Pennock Hospital. According to the Barry County Sheriff’s Department, deputies were called at about 12:10 a.m. to the area of Kiser Road near Upton Trail.

To be considered as hon­ ored alumnus, CHS graduates must have excelled in leadership, the arts, business, or community service in a way that sets them apart from others in their respective communities. Past honored alumni include an admiral (Richard Terpstra), a bank president (Harold Gless), a college basketball coach (Kris Emerson-Simpson), a lieutenant governor (Dick Posthumus), community leaders (John Finkbeiner and Al and Jackie Steeby), a prominent Mayo Clinic phy­ sician (Dr. Ken Olivier) and more.

May 5. 201 FINANCIAL FOCUS I Provided by Andrew McFadden and Jeffrey Westra of Edward Jones 4* • Here’s a checklist for changing jobs A few generations ago, it was not uncommon for workers to stick with a single job for their whole careers, But for many of us today, frequent job changes are a fact of life: The average employce tenure is just over _ _ four years, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, So, assuming you’re going to switch jobs a few times, you'll want to be prepared, Here's a checklist of things you can do to smooth these transitions and help your financial situation: __ Ruild an emergency fund Some of your job changes may be involuntary, so you'll want to have a cash cushion handy - just in case. One smart move would be to build an emergency fund, containing three to SIX months worth of living expenses, with the money kept in a liquid, low-risk account. __ Consider your options for your former employer 's 401 (k) plan. If you had a 401 (k) plan with your former employer, you have three main options: You could leave your money in the plan, if the employer allows it; you could move the money into your new J employer’s plan, if permitted; or you could roll the funds over to an IRA. You'll want to weigh the “pros pros"” and “cons" of these choices carefully before making a decision. _ Choose investments __ from your new retirement plan. If your new' employer offers a 401(k) or similar plan, you'll need to choose the investments within the plan that are most appropriate for your goals, risk toler­ ance and time horizon. Contribute as much as you can afford to the plan, and consider increasing your contributions every' time your salary' goes up. Make sure you ’ve got health insurance. The health insurance offered by your new employer may not begin the minute you start your job. Given the high costs of med­ ical care, you'll need to make sure you are protected until your coverage kicks in. So, for that interim period, you may need to consider the federal health insurance markctplace, COBRA continuation coverage or private med­ ical insurance. You might also be eligible to be covered under your spouse’s health insurance. And you may |®Sg©@ -— STORAGE want to learn what your options are for health savings accounts (HSAs), if avail­ able. Review your new benefits package - and take steps to fill gaps. Your new benefits package may include life and disability insurance, but these group policies may not be enough to fully protect you and your family. A finan­ cial professional can help you quantify your protection and insurance needs and offer guidance on how much coverage you may require. _Understand your income tax considerations. Gettini’ a new job may involve income tax implications, such as changes in your tax bracket, severance pay, unused vaca­ tion and unemployment compensation. And if you arc thinking of exercising stock options, be aware that this, too, can be a taxable event. Finally, if you have to move to take a new job, you may incur some relocation and job hunting expenses that could be deductible. You will need to discuss all these issues with your tax profes­ sional. Starting a new job can be exciting - and challenging. But you may be able to make your life easier by putting the above suggestions to work.

The incident occurred Feb. 24 in a quiet cul-de-sac of about 12 homes on Holes Avenue. Douglas Buckowing admitted to shooting the dog after it went into his yard and attacked his dog. He said he tried various ways to separate the two dogs before shooting. Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Chris Elsworth said after reviewing the Michigan State Police report, the prosecuting attorney's office did not feel it could prove anything criminal. Three to four independent witness accounts of what happened corroborated Buckowing’s statements about trying to get the dogs separated, and after those methods failed, shooting carefully in a downward manner at the attacking dog. Buckowing is a properly licensed gun owner and said he has had extensive gun use and safety training. Middleville has an ordi­ nance against any discharge of a firearm within the vil­ lage limits. Owners of the dog, Meghan and Jeremiah Bossenberger, admitted the dog escaped out of their fenced-in yard, but said the dog is normally friendly, and they didn’t believe the do needed to be shot. Buckowing said he feared for his dog’s safety as well as his own while attempting to separate the dogs, Several residents from the neighborhood attended a village council meeting after the incident to voice concerns about a gun being shot in their neighborhood. The village’s ordinance against use of firearms reads: “No person shall discharge any firearm or air gun. This subsection does not apply to law enforcement or military personnel while in the perfor---------r official mance of duties.»» The prosecuting attorney’s office acknowledged the village ordinance, but said it would be up to the village to decide whether to pursue an ordinance violation charge. Village officials have met with attorneys to discuss the case and have opted to follow the lead of the prosecutor’s office and not pursue any charges at this time. ,..

Several groups of students were bused into the commu­ nity to assist with a variety of projects including prepara­ tion of community garden plots, readying baseball fields for play, and general clean up efforts along the trail and the river. They learned their efforts could make a difference and they could find ways to help oth­ ers and their community. To start the day, they were inspired by motivational speaker Scott Backovich. He told students they could make change happen. I‘m not asking you to change your life,” stated Backovich, “but have the courage to change someone else's. Become a catalyst for change by doing simple things ” Backovich told students that they each have the power to influence their world and to make a difference. He then challenged them to become catalysts for change. ‘ When you give people what you have, you give peo41 <4 > * Nathan Kmne loads up a wheelbarrow with mulch for the landscaping at the Thornapple Township Emergency Services building. ui BUSINESS pie hope,” he said. “The greatest gifts never cost money - just courage.

Roads were prioritized by the Kent County Road Commission using laser analysis. Partnering with the road commission bumps up proj­ ects on the county’s priority list, supervisor Bryan Harrison said. Helping with costs upfront reduces liabili­ ty for the road commission, allowing projects to be fin­ ished faster than normal. The resolution passed unanimously, with treasurer Dr. Richard Robertson and trustee Gregg Zoller absent. Board members marked their calendars for a special assessment hearing June 6 to begin a process to fund road improvements on Duncan Cove Lane. The $ 115.000 district was proposed by the lane’s homeowner’s associa­ tion. The five-year district is to be assessed equally against parcels that egress and ingress via Duncan Cove. The rising popularity of special assessment districts to pay for community projects gave the township board reason to pause. “It appears we’re getting more and more of these,” said Harrison. Harrison reasoned that, if special assessment districts continue to ain popularity, measures should be consid­ ered to ensure accountability on the part of the township and citizens requesting the district. He also warned of the possibility of the township inheriting roads whose improvements could desig­ nate them as public thoroughfares. Rising use of special assessment districts is not Caledonia unique to Township, said Clerk Jennifer Venema. The trend * is ubiquitous across the state, especially in growing communities. Trustee Dale Hermenet, uncomfortable with the trend, suggested associations and neighborhoods begin exploring the possibility of funding improvements with­ out a special assessment dis­ trict. Hermenet conceded the township s fiduciary duty to rant a district if it meets criteria. For trustee Rick Snoeyink, the issue tied into crumblin private roads plaguing the township. Often built with sub-par materials and techniques, many private drives throughout Caledonia are in serious need of repair, many of them requiring a complete resurfacing. The township implement­ ed standards for private drives several years ago. Harrison warned raising the bar on private road standards * j®# A map outlining roads which need attention in Caledonia Township.

The board took no further action, but did set the June 6 meeting date for the Duncan Cove special assessment dis­ trict. The board also approved a resolution granting the township assessor discretion to waive fees associated with late homestead tax filing.

Main St., Middleville (also known as Parcel 08-41-001-008-10) to remodel the front building facade resulting in 53% of the ground floor frontage to be transparent in the form of clear glass. The Zoning Board of Appeals will also consider an application for variance on property located at 4525 N M-37 Suite D, Middleville Delski’s Meat and Jerky, (also known as parcel # 08-41-022- 022-00) to store equipment in the front yard of the Town Center Plaza front parking lot. The hearing will be held in the Council Chambers of the Village Hall, 100 E. Main Street, Middleville, MI 49333. I The application to be considered by the Zoning Board of Appeals seeks the following variance from the terms of the Village Code: 125 E. Main St., Sec. 78-295(c), which requires a minimum 70% of ground floor frontage shall include transparency in the form of clear glass in the C-l Central Business District. The applicant is remodeling the front fagade to increase the current glass transparency from 26% to 53%, requiring a variance of 17% from the minimum 70%. 4525 N M-37 HWY, Suite D, Sec. 78-325(6), which requires outdoor storage of materials and equipment to be conducted in the side or rear yards and screened by a fence of adequate opacity and height to obscure view of the storage area in the C-2 Highway Commercial District.

Main St., during regular business hours, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Persons with special needs who wish to attend should contact the Village Clerk no less than 72 hours prior to the public hearing. . * ‘ tweaked his district’s calen­ dar to allow teachers more prep and professional development time. Smith stressed the importance of common assessments for teachers which provide useful, fair information. Smith appreciates Kent County’s school enhancement millage and Caledonia’s stewarding of resources already delegated to the district by the community. “It’s my job as superinten­ dent to make sure those dol­ lars are spent wisely and showing the community how those dollars are being spent,” Smith said. Other duties Smith laid out for superintendent include keeping the board up to speed on district matters, fostering a positive relation­ ship with the director of finances and understanding the budget, and coaching staff members to help them make the most of their resources. He wants to focusing on coaching staff and teachers, Oftentimes, a person already possesses the answer to a problem, Smith said. It just needs coaxing out. He intends to use this coaching strategy to help staff and teachers take ownership of their decisions and move the district forward. “I’ve always had tremen­ dous appreciation for and what [the Caledonia commu­ nity] has accomplished and what it represents,” said Smith in closing. “I am so excited to engage with you and be involved in further conversations.” Next up was Martin. Martin has served as Michigan Department of Education Director of Partnership Districts/State School Reform Officer since February of this year. Prior to that he served five years as superintendent for the St. Johns Public Schools, and superintendent of the Ypsilanti Public Schools for four years. Martin holds a degree in Doctorate Educational Leadership from Michigan State University, a Master’s degree in Educational Leadership from the University of Houston, and a Bachelor’s degree in Special Education and Psychology from Grand Valley State University. At Ypsilanti, Martin was involved in implementing a federal mandate to increase graduation rates and test scores for historically underprivileged students. Under his leadership as superinten­ dent, the struggling deficit district regained a healthy fund balance after a merger with a neighboring school district. “While I’ve been fortunate throughout my career to be involved in different things and have success in different levels, my passion has always been in working with students and working with staff,” he said. “I see this as a destination district, not as a stepping stone. Quite honestly, this is one of the better opportunities in the region and perhaps the state.” After nine years of experi­ ence as a superintendent, Martin sees the position at Caledonia as the culmination of his passions and the per­ feet fit for his interests and skills. “I believe this district is in a great position already, but I believe it’s in a prime spot to become a premiere district in the region,” he said. Like Like other other districts districts he he’’ss overseen, Martin Martin said overseen, said Caledonia Caledonia is exhibiting unprecedented growth. His model for growing districts involves planning for the future while respecting tradition and welcoming innova­ tion. The main challenge he sees for Caledonia lies in achieving greater heights in education while respecting the traditions that put Caledonia on the map. Martin expressed his comcom­ mitment to keeping the community informed of district happenings and seeking pub­ lie input. He issued a state of 4 M * CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF CALEDONIA BOARD OF TRUSTEES Meeting Minutes The minutes for the April 18, 2018 Township Board of Trustees Meeting which were approved on May 2, 2018, are posted at the Township Offices at 8196 Broadmoor Ave, and on the website at www.caledoniatownship.org. Respectfully submitted, Elaine Denton Village Clerk the district update in previ­ ous districts as well as hosted conversation and coffee events three times a year as an opportunity for the com­ munity to share its concerns. “As superintendent, I believe it’s vital to make yourself available,” Martin said. “I live where I work. It creates an amazing opportunity to get to know people in an informal setting, which helps to break barriers to community.” Timely and accurate infor­ mation is key to Martin’s leadership strategy, He intends to foster transparen­ cy with the board, faculty, and community. “The best way is to approach it head-on and with honesty,” Martin said, When it comes to public confidence, Martin said he is willing to put hiscareer on the line in order to craft bet­ ter opportunities for the stu­ dents. With collaboration of the district and the communi­ ty, said Martin, Caledonia’s greatest visions can become reality. Martin led by example at St. Johns, taking a self-imposed pay cut along with district staff. After finances improved, he facilitated sala­ ry restoration as well as bonus checks for staff affect­ ed by pay cuts. Under his leadership, grades improved in the majority of school buildings. His experience at St. Johns tore down barriers of mis­ trust between the school and community, Martin said, “The goal is how to work collaboratively and turn challenges into opportunities to thrive,” Martin said. Martin sees challenges in implementing the state’s new third grade reading law. He intends to work within the new framework to provide the best opportunity for early learners. On a similar note, Martin values strategic inter­ vention for young and poorly performing students to opti­ mize their chances of suc­ cess. Martin also wants to take a strategic look at smart school of choice strategies that welcome new growth while ensuring an outstand­ ing education for all stu­ dents. Online and alternate edu­ cation are on Martin’s radar * 5* I I 535.7 4I ; . :T , rm I M Hl ^Ca •Jrjb J ha * X Continued on page 14 ■ ♦ • —• * - k �The Sun and News. Saturday.

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 Thornapple River. This well is built to a depth of 197 feet. 1 ForYourInformation ... : / 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, radio­ active material and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include. • Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife. • Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming. • Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm water runoff, and residential uses. • Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are byproducts of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff, and septic systems. • Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. In order to insure that tap water is safe to drink, the 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 protection for public health. Definitions; Water Terminology • N/D: Non-Detects - laboratory analysis indicates the contaminant is not present • ppm or mg/1: parts per million or milligrams per liter o mg/l: one part per million corresponds to a single penny in $10,000 • ppb: parts per billion or micrograms per liter o ppb: one part per billion corresponds to a single penny in $10,000,000 • pCi/l: 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 feasible using the best available treatment technology. • MCLG: Maximum Contaminant Level Goal- the goal is the level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there are no known or expected risks to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety. S “»1 ... Bhk?

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 population. Immune-compromised persons such as those with cancer undergoing chemo­ therapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infec­ tions. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care provid­ ers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen risks of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791).

Coliforms were found in more samples than allowed and this was a warning of potential problems. Usually, coliforms are a sign that there could be a problem with the system's treatment or distribution system (pipes). Whenever we detect coliform bacteria in any sample, we do follow-up testing to see if other bacteria of greater concern, such as fecal coliform or E. coli, are present. All sam­ ples taken were all found to be negative for E. coli bacteria. 2016 Chlorine or Chloramines J F M Bacteriological sample site # I Bacteriological sample site # 2 Bacteriological sample site # 3 Bacteriological sample site # 4 Average of all measurements taken in the month N/A for RAA in year covered byCCR .53 .28 66 45 .15 Bacteriological sample site # 3 .40 Bacteriological sample site # 4 Average of all measurements taken in the month .69 33 .74 .19 .74 60 .42 .44 60 .49 M .58 J .63 .47 J .24 A S .36 .68 JN 45 D .36 .25 .17 O .45 21 .37 .86 .63 .21 .38 .56 .13 .43 .25 .18 •.50 .22 .34 .52 40 .40 .41 .56 .50 39 .27 ,27 .14 49 32 2017 .77 65 .50 .90 .26 .28 .26 34 36 .16 34 48 .23 .64 .46 63 .42 .54 .22 32 .78 73 .50 .38 .42 .46 .44 .54 37 Chiorine or Chioramines Bacteriological sample site H 1 Bacteriological sample site # 2 RAA calculated quarterly of 12 monthly averages.

Additional Monitoring Information Chlorine residuals; Chlorine is added to our drinking water as a disinfectant. 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 resid­ ual 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 levels may rise quickly for short periods due to rainfall or agricultural activity. If you are caring for an infant, you should ask for advice from your health care provider. 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 providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of mate­ rials 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 min­ utes 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 assess­ ment 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. This report is updated and published annually. We will keep you informed of any problems that may occur throughout the year. Customer questions or comments on drinking water issues are welcome and may be addressed at regularly scheduled Village Council meetings. Meetings are scheduled every second and fourth Tuesday of each month throughout the year. Meetings start promptly at 7:00 PM in the council chambers of the Village Hall located at 100 E. Main Street, Middleville, Ml 49333. This report will not be mailed directly to customers. A copy may be obtained at the Village offices between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM Monday through Friday.

Martin faced significant push back from his decision to merge Ypsilanti schools with a neighboring district. Closing multiple buildings and cutting millions from the budget was no small or easy task. “It was painful,” Martin said. “It took a lot of negoti­ ating and trust building.” He was able to convince a majority of the community the merger was in the best interest of students. In the end, the voters cast their bal­ lots in favor of merging the district. Martin described himself as discerning and as a risk taker, taking whatever liabili­ ties necessary to improve education. He values team building and collaboration. “I like to work collabora­ tively,” Martin said. “I don’t ever assume I’m the brightest person in the room. I like people to challenge my thinking. It’s through that style of leadership that we are able to move forward.” Martin makes a point to regularly visit classrooms and speak with administrators. Though not a micromanager, Martin said he strives to be on the same page with staff and adminstrators, doing what he can to find an adaptive leadership style to fit a particular situa­ tion and person. When something is awry or not ideal, he’ll call it out, Martin said, “but you can best believe I’m a team player.” In the past, Martin has been involved in various community organizations has lobbied legislators, as well, for the best interest of his students. He intends to do the same at Caledonia. Creating feedback loops is important to Martin, which he uses to constantly inquire how to better serve students. Martin said curriculum should be developed using feedback from both the cur­ riculum developer and teach­ ers. Feedback can than be compared with district goals, scrutinized, and tweaked until instructional goals are achieved. This feedback system can be applied to every aspect of the district, said Martin, When it comes to budgets, Martin said the district needs to put its money where its mouth is. Reviewing avail­ able resources and aligning them with district goals and needs is imperative in the budgeting process, he said, Grants, appeals to legislators, and community involvement are tools Martin has utilized in the past to increase finanfinan­ cial resources. Above all, the most important function of the superintendent is standing out as a leader. Approachability, honesty, transparency, and integrity are key components of the position as outlined by Martin.

Candidates had the opportunity to ask questions of the board. Commonly asked were the district’s greatest challenges, which board members laentmea as identified addressing explosive growth with limited finding. Another issue was unifying the board administration, and community as a team. “Historically, there’s been a good relationship between the district, community, and staff,” said trustee Bill Donohue. “This community has worked together, and we’ll continue to work together.” “We’re a great district, but there’s always room for improvement,” said board president Marcy White. With two highly qualified candidates in the breach, improvement is likely on the menu. For Martin and Smith, a 50 percent shot at the superintendency is no small feat ’ Their applications and acu­ men stood out above dozens of candidates who applied for the position in one of Southwest Michigan’s pre­ mier school districts, Martin will return for his second interview on Monday, May 7. Smith will be in the hot seat the following day, Tuesday, May 8. Both interviews are at 7 p.m. in the Caledonia High School South Campus Learning Commons. “The public is strongly encouraged to attend,” said Rider. “Feedback from the audience has already been very valuable to the board in the selection process.” The public will be able to submit assessment sheets and questions for each candidate. Assessment sheets will be reviewed by the board to aid in their final decision. 9 Owner, Jeff Dobbin, ASE Master Technician Over 28 years experience 24 HOUR TOWING SERVICE AVAILABLE 1958 8196 Broadmoor Ave. SE Caledonia, MI 49316 CALEDONIA Phone: 616.891.0070 Fax: 616.891.0430 TOWNSHIP, CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF CALEDONIA COUNTY OF KENT, MICHIGAN NOTICE OF ADOPTION OF ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT AND SUMMARY OF THE REGULATORY EFFECT THEREOF PUBLIC NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on May 2, 2018, the Township Board of the Charter Township of Caledonia adopted Ordinance No. 2018-02Z, an ordinance amending the Caledonia Charter Township Zoning Ordinance.

The Trojans fell 8-0 to Forest Hills Eastern, a team ranked fourth in the state in Division 3, in Ada Monday afternoon and fell 8-0 to the second ranked team in the state in Division 2, East Grand Rapids, in Middleville Thursday. It was the Trojans doing all the winning Wednesday in Middleville in an 8-0 sweep of the Wyoming Wolves. The TK ladies didn’t drop a set all afternoon. The Trojans are currently 7-4-1 overall this season and now 2-3-1 in the OK Gold Conference. “Every flight played solid tennis in a solid team effort,” TK head coach Larry Seger said after the victory Wednesday. “Caleigh Zoet and Brook Thompson (at fourth doubles) did a nice job of closing their match with a come-from-behind win in the second set. “The doubles teams were clearly more aggressive at the net in this match. We also did a better job of covering the court as a team.” flf & Zoet and Thompson took 6-4, 6-3 Thursday.

The Trojans topped the Eagles 3-1 and 4-2 in their two conference ballgames in Grand Rapids. Thornapple Kellogg scored two runs in the top of the seventh inning to pull ahead 3-1 in game two. The Trojans scored a run in the top of the first inning and held that lead until the bot­ tom of the sixth when the Eagles tied the game with a run. Colson Brummel singled, went to second on a sacrifice bunt by Caleb Gavette, moved to third on a single by Dylan Podbevsek, and then scored the go-ahead run on an error by the Eagle short­ stop as Podbevsek stole sec- ond base. Podbevsek went to third on that error and then scored when the Eagle right fielder misplayed a ball hit by teammate Brenden Caswell. Caswell scored TK’s opening run in the first. He singled, went to second on a single by Nate Hobert, and then stole third and home. Both teams had six hits in the bailgame. TK pitcher Matt Lenard got the win, striking out five. He didn’t walk a batter. Brummel had two hits, and Brendan Miller also singled for the Trojans in game one. The Trojans won game two 4-2, getting another complete game pitching per­ formance this time from Dakota Phillips. Phillips struck out six Eagles while walking one and allowing ten hits. TK only had three hits in game two, triples by Miller and Hobert and a single off the bat of Lenard. Hobert had two RBI. The Trojans split their two ballgames Saturday at their own Wood Bat Tournament in Middleville. Harper Creek topped the Trojans 9-3 in the day’s opener, and then TK knocked off Delton Kellogg 15-4 in game two. Kyler Podbevsek and Hobert had three hits each for the Trojans in the win over Delton Kellogg, with Podbevsek driving in five runs and Hobert three. Miller was 2-for-3 with a single and a double. He scored twice. Caswell had two singles and scored three runs. Miller went the distance on the mound. He earned the win while striking out eight and walking two. Only one of the four runs against him was earned. Delton Kellogg had six hits.

It was the 21st home run of the season for the Caledonia varsity softball team, which went into its 3rd Annual Good Samaritan Game ranked fourth in the state in Division 1. Gehrls had just belted a two-run double. Between the two of them, Gehrls and Mitchell, they have 14 home runs on the season. The tworun bomb Thursday was the sixth of the season for Mitchell. Caledonia went on to a 16-0 win over the visiting Maroons, walking off with a two-run double by Alyssa DeGood in the bottom of the third inning. The Fighting Scots are now 14-1 on the season, with their only loss a an 11-10 defeat against Grandville last month in one of the few games where their bats heated up just a little too late. The Good Samaritan Game highlights the Good Samaritan Law, which was established in Michigan in 2016. The law prevents drug possession charges against those that seek medical assis­ tance for an overdose in cer­ tain circumstances. This law makes saving lives the prior­ ity during a drug overdose, not criminal prosecutions of illegal drug users. “We try to do it every year because it is a great cause. It hits home,” Caledonia head coach Tom Kaechele said. “We just try to make awareness of it through this game. Holland Christian was gracious enough to come over and play us and they are just running into a buzz saw right now. This team is hit­ ting the ball like crazy most of the time.” Jadon Huyser, who batted ninth and scored a run as a part of the Scots 12-run sec­ ond-inning outburst against the Maroons. The cause hits home for the Fighting Scots because Huysers cousin, Mizwicki Mason of Watervliet, was an inspira­ tion for the creation of the I W K> * $ ill & The Caledonia and Holland Christian softball teams gather together at the end of their non-conference contest in Caledonia Thursday, the Fighting Scots’ third annual Good Samaritan.

Rob Horrmann told Middleville Village Council members at Tuesday night’s meeting. Horrmann said he hopes to implement an educational effort first to make sure driv­ ers know they cannot park in certain areas along Stadium Drive. But if education doesn’t work, he said he will have no problem issuing tickets or towing vehicles as necessary. Yellow paint has been added along the curbs in areas where parking is not allowed on Stadium Drive. There are also “No Parking” signs posted along the area. “The problem is people have been parking there for years,” said Horrmann. “We want to start with education first.” Village council member Mike Cramer complained about the lack of no parking enforcement in the area saying it is a health and safety issue. He said with vehicles parked on both sides, like they’ve been doing, it’s impossible for fire trucks to use the street to get into the numerous houses there. Cramer said he was a little upset a week ago at the com­ mittee of the whole meeting when he raised the issue.

Dr. Dedrick Martin and Scott Smith were selected last week as finalists for Caledonia’s next superinten­ dent. Two site visit teams consisting of board members, administrators, teachers, stu­ dents and community mem­ bers will travel to St. Johns and Hudsonville on Tuesday, Site teams will ask students and staff questions about each candidate, as well as talk with local businesses and residents. The board will call to order a special meeting on Wednesday, May 16 at 6:30 p.m. to review the site visit findings. At the board’s lei­ sure, a candidate could be selected. Otherwise, the board could decide to start the process over again if nei­ ther candidate makes the cut. The special meeting will be held in the Caledonia High School South Campus Media Room, 9192 Kraft Ave. Caledonia, ML The superintendent search is being facilitated by Gary Rider of the Michigan Leadership LeadershipInstitute. Institute. Martin and Smith had a second shot at winning the board over earlier in the week. Monday and Tuesday, the board held second round interviews with the two finalists. Finalists laid out their entry plans and answered questions from the board and audience. It is customary for new superintendents to present an action plan for the first 90 days in office. After analyzing informa­ tion available to him on Caledonia, Martin suggested a different style of entry plan, Depending on the size “Deoendine and composition of a district, a 90-day plan may not be sufficient,” said Martin.

During that time, he said he would listen and learn all he can about the district in order to draft a new strategic plan. A 5- to 10-year strategic plan accounting specifically for anticipated district growth is on Martin’s radar. Other points include spec­ ifying how the district oper­ ates on a day-to-day basis, developing long term plans to keep facilities in proper order, financial plans, and reviewing growth projections for the district.

He thanked supervisor Mark Englerth and trustees Shane VandenBerg and Mike Boysen for spearheading the effort. It takes people like that to save the township a lot of time and money,” Heilman said. Heilman honored the late David Neeson, whose advo­ cacy on behalf of area veter­ ans is encapsulated in the essence of the veterans memorial. Heilman requested a moment of silence for Neeson. which was observed by the board and audience. In Neeson’s honor, the Sportsmen's Outreach Team gifted $200 towards the memorial. The gift was pre­ sented by Neeson’s grandson rock Neeson, “We believe your hearts are in the right place, and we continue to support what you’re doing,” he said. The township’s emergency services millage will expire in December, and a new millage will go before township voters in August. The millage would increase the current rate from 0.4896 to 0.75 mils per $100XXX) in taxable home value. Headlee rollbacks will decrease the milage over time. The millage is expected to accrue an extra $252XXX) in its first year to fund the town- ship's emergency services. The proposal was placed on the August ballot with unanimous approval by the board, County recycling coordi­ nator Sarah Archer informed the board that her team has completed taking slock of the county's recycling opportunilies. Yankee Springs has considered expanding its recycling program, and welcorned Archer’s update, Englerth said he intends to set up an educational meeting with Archer and the township’s recycling provid­ ers later in August. The board tentatively approved a contract equip।ping the ‘ township with five ~ Apple iPads, a cell phone, phone. and data service for use by township officials. Treasurer Alice Jansma will review the contract prior to its signing. The devices will be pro­ vided by Sprint at a special government discount of $257.81 per month for all six devices. After two years, the devices will be paid off, and the township will be charged $90 per month for data and cellular service. Several township accounts will be reinvested into higher yielding accounts, said Jansma. Current accounts yield 0.03 percent interest compared to yields of 2 per­ cent and up available elsewhere, Brad Williams was approved as the township's code enforcement officer after a 90-day probationary period. Williams will hold office hours Tuesdays and Thursdays. A joint meeting of the township boards will take place May 22 at 7 p.m. to discuss the township's capitai improvement plan and six-year master plan. Budget amendments will be made June 5 and 12, at 7 p.m. in preparation for a new fiscal year. Englerth provided his first sewer and water report after being reappointed to the Gun Area Lake Sewer and Water Authority board. Englerth declared bilateral under­ standing between the town­ ship and GLASWA of the importance of maintaining infrastructure. If the Flint Water Crisis has revealed anything, it’s the need to pro­ tect the viability and safety of a community’s water sources, said Englerth. GLASWA is reviewin funding options for various improvements to it’s 38-yearold treatment plant. Negotiations between Yankee Springs and Yankee Springs Orangeville townships for a common noise disturbance ordinance are ongoing, reported Englerth. The matter was on Orangeville’s agenda this week, but was tabled for later discussion. Up to eight members of the ZBA and planning commission were approved to attend a citizen planner training event in Okemos. The board renewed its contract with Professional Code Inspections to manage the township's planning and zoning.

Terry McKinney Poured Walls brought the monument one step closer to completion Thursday with poured walls, Years ago, McKinney poured the walls of the fire station at cost to the township, and did the same thing for the veteran's memorial Thursday, Project organizers are now looking for volunteers skilled in the building trades to help bring the long-anticipated project to completion.

For years, the project has been put on the back burner. Years of planning and delib­ eration later, the time seemed right for the township board to see the project through. After receiving input from the community, the board put a pin on the map and started digging. The monument itself is waiting at Patten's Michigan Monuments in Hastings. All it needs is a solid foundation, which is well on its way to materializing. A finish date has yet to be announced. il* art II ii tai ite The proposed layout of the veterans memorial includes an 18-foot concrete pad that will offer space for reflection and ceremonies. “Hinging on volunteer labor, it’s hard to place a timeline,” Englerth said. “But we are committed to finishing it.” In addition to volunteers, the township needs an addi­ tional $15,000 to finish the monument, which honors the township's veterans. “At the end of the road, there's only one thing that's important: That every vet in the community is proud of this,” Englerth said. Completed with the gener­ osity of the community, Yankee Springs residents will tmly take ownership of the memorial.

If you’re a mother with grown children, you might receive flowers, candy, din­ ner invitations or some other type of pleasant recognition, However, you might find that you can get more enjoyment from the holiday by giving, rather than receiving. The longest-lasting gifts may be financial ones - so here are a few moves to consider: • Contribute to your child's IRA. If your children have earned income, they are eli­ gible to contribute to an IRA, which offers tax benefis and an almost unlimited array of investment options, You can't contribute directly to another person’s IRA, but you can write your child a check for that purpose. This could be a valuable gift, as many people can't afford to contribute the maximum yearly amount, which, in 2018, is $5,500, or $6,500 for those 50 or older. • Give gifts of stock. You know your children pretty | well, so you should be famil­ iar with the products they buy. Why not give them some shares of stock in the companies that make these products? Your children will probably enjoy being “own­ ers" of these companies, and if they weren't that familiar with how' the financial markets work, having these shares in their possession may greatly expand their knowledge and lead to an even greater interest in investing. • Donate to a charity in your child's name. You might want to donate to a charitable organization that your’child supports. In years past, such a donation might have earned you you aa tax tax deduction, deduction, but but the the new new lax tax laws, laws, which which include include a much higher standard deduction, may keep many people from itemizing. Still, it’s possible for a charitable li ift to provide you with a tax benefit, depending on your age. If you're 70 ’A or older, you must start taking with­ drawals from your traditional IRA and your 401 (k) or similar employer-sponsored plan, but by moving the withdrawal directly to a qualified charitable group, the money won’t count as part of your adjusted gross income, so, in effect, you can •J et a tax break from your generosity. • Review your estate strat­ egy. Like virtually all par­ ents, you'd probably like to be able to leave some type of legacy to your children, and possibly your grandchildren, too. So, if you haven’t already started working on your estate strategy, consider using Mother's Day as a launching point. At the very least, you'll want to write your will, but you may need much more than that, such as a living trust, a durable power of attorney and other ______ ___ And ___ _____ documents. don’t forget to change the beneficiary designations on your life insurance and retirement accounts if you’ve experi­ enced a major life change, such as divorce or remar­ riage. These designations are powerful and can even super­ sede whatever instructions you might have left in your will. As you can guess, estate planning can be complex, so you almost certainly will wantto work with a legal professional to gel your arrangements in order. Mother’s Day is a good opportunity for your children to show their love for you, and you can do the same for them by helping bolster their long-term security through financial gifts and legacy planning.

Contempo Salon’s Safari Rainforest Room is the first of its kind in the Caledonia area. It’s tailored to make kids feel comfortable, com­ plete with smaller chairs, tropical decor, games and stuffed animals, and calming rainforest sounds. The Rainforest Room opened two months ago. Business has been growing steadily since then. Contempo Owner Nancy Kious found herself subleas­ ing an empty space next door to her salon off Cherry Valley Avenue. She put on her entrepreneurial hat and start­ ed brainstorming ways to use the space to turn a profit. “We tried to think of what we could do over here,” Kious said. One day, it came to her. “I just thought a kids’ salon would be the thing to do,” she said. “There are a lot of parents who want their kids to have a good experi­ ence. And the kids have been really loving it.” A lot of people in Caledonia traveled north to Grand Rapids for kids’ hair­ v z 1 J S: ■ WL I * -• H . * **1*।/ 1 I I i 4 4 A * < r > r| ft J —JI 1 r: 9~~ * r J < J - I 1 Ll } 9 * ■s I. —*■ —------- T 1 ■. • 5 I .» 4 ll 9^ I S) I a w l r i fl fl ra f r III I* •- * ij Bi V 1 X c Xi » 'ft - --C z Ji t _ __ _ _ _ _ r -- w __ _ , „__ ___, _ - __ _ _ _____________ ____ A —>> iM V I M The Safari Rainforest Room offers a peaceful and engaging environment for kids nervous about a haircut. cuts, cuts, so so Kious Kious decided decided to to keep local. keep that that business local.

Patience is the key with cutting a kid’s hair, said stylist Cassie Warner. “It’s about interacting well, giving the kids a good experience,” she said. With six siblings, Warner’s experience with kids means she spends much of her time in the Rainforest Room, Warner makes small talk and smiles to make her young clients feel comfortable.

A select group of these seniors that exhibited academic and personal excel­ lence were honored at the 2018 Caledonia High School Academic Awards on Wednesday. Each of 178 gifted seniors filed into the Fine Art Center holding a long legacy of scholarly and personal excel­ lence during their high school careers. Along with their proud families and teachers, they were greeted by Caledonia High School principal Brady Lake. “I would first like to con­ gratulate the parents of the award recipients,” said Lake. “You have expended an immense amount of work getting them to this point.” He also thanked the teach­ ers and staff who, for four years, poured their hearts and souls into the accomplished students seated before them. “Thank you for your con­ tinued commitment to our students,” Lake continued. “And thank you to our com­ munity for their continued generosity and support of our graduating seniors.” Stephanie Pearson was instrumental in organizing the event and was thanked accordingly. * • ’ ***"• J- tttW Holly Sulivan is awarded the World Language Award by teacher Jen Dyer.

I I The Caledonia varsity softball team improved its overall record to 19-1 and its OK Red Conference mark to 13-1, finishing off a busy week with an 8-7 win at Grand Haven Thursday. The Scots fell behind 7-4 as the Buccaneers scored five times in the bottom of the fourth inning to take the lead, but Caledonia rallied for two runs in the top of the sixth and two runs in the top of the seventh to get the victory. A two-out double by Samantha Gehrls started the Scots’ final rally in the top of the seventh. Abby Mitchell walked to put runners on first and second, and Taylor Cross came up big pounding a sin­ gle through the right side to tie the game with Gehrls scoring from second. Julia Becker followed with a line drive single into center that scored Mitchell to put the Scots in front. A lead-off home run by Mitchell in the top of the sixth was followed by singles from Cross and Becker, Brenna Nurenburg, running for Cross, scored on a passed ball to get the Scots within 7-6. Cross was 4-for-5 in game with four RBI. Gehrls had three hits, and Ashleigh Emmalee VanZytveld, Hamp, Mitchell and Becker had two each.

(d) The responsible entity has omitted one or more of the steps set forth at subparts F and G of this part for the conduct, preparation, publication and completion of an EIS. (e) The recipient or other participants in the development process have committed funds, incurred costs or undertaken activities not authorized by this part before release of funds and approval of the environmental certification by HUD (or the state). (f) Another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted to the Michigan Strategic Fund, c/o Michigan Economic Development Corporation, 300 North Washington Square, 4th Floor, Lansing, Michigan 48913.

That was the only goal in 160 minutes of conference soccer between the Fighting Scots and Eagles this season. The match-up in Caledonia ended in a 0-0 tie.

They found another one Tuesday. The Thomapple Kellogg varsity girls’ tennis team was downed decisively by state powerhouses Grand Rapids Christian, East Grand Rapids and Forest Hills Eastern in the OK Gold Conference, but easily handled most of its other opponents throughout the season. Lakewood put up a pretty good fight in Middleville Tuesday.

That made Tuesday’s non-conference dual with Lakewood a little extra fun.

It was Thornapple Kellogg second singles player Kayla VanGessel fighting off Lakewood’s Erica Potter in the third set that finally secured the 5-3 victory for the Trojans in Middleville. I told my girls in our meeting here that this was going to be a tough match and their whole M.O. is always that they will test your patience,” Thomapple Kellogg head coach Larry Seger said. “They do. They keep the ball in. they keep the ball in. They don't hit bit, but they just test you, and they did.” VanGessel took the open­ ing set of their match 6-2 only to see Potter rally for a 6-1-win in the second set.

The Viking senior took a 40-0 lead in the 27th game of the day between the two, but VanGessel rallied to win five straight points to prevent Lakewood from pulling into a 4-4 tie. “There were times she was stroking and opening up the court, but she want away from it, a lot” Seger said of VanGessel,“and she has a lot of faith in that high topspin lob and we had Lakewood pinned against the fence back here a lot, but she’s a good athlete and she really made a lot of great plays the Lakewood player did.” VanGessel completed a sweep of the singles matches Trojan second singles player Kayla VanGessel hits for the Trojans with her win. bested the ball back at Lakewood’s Erica Potter during their Grace Brown Lakewood’s Megan Wakley three-set second singles match in Middleville Tuesday 6-2, 6-2 in the first singles afternoon.

It doesn’t always look real fancy, but they’re undefeated on the score cards.” Lakewood’s Cheyenne Hill and Ali Wheeler scored a 6-3, 6-2 win over Holly Bashore and Hannah Wright at second doubles. The Trojans and Vikings will likely be looking up at Grand Rapids Christian and Forest Hills Eastern in the standings at their Division 3 Regional Tournament hosted by the Eagles. Grand Rapids Catholic Central will be one of the teams along with the Trojans and Vikings vying to finish with enough points to join the top two teams from the regional at the state finals.

I can tell you that the administrators are very, very supportive of Dirk,” he replied. Weeldreyer did not apply for the position of Caledonia superintendent.

If administrators had desired to see any other can­ didate besides Martin, White said, they had had the ability to speak up during the interview process. “If they [administrators] chose to participate in this process, then their feedback should have already come to us,” said White. White said she saw no indication that any members of the administrative team desired a candidate outside of those taking part in the interview process.

Curriculum director Janel Switzer calls out board members for an apparent breach of process in selecting the next superintendent, as well as speaking irrerpresentatively on behalf of administrative staff. Lomonaco concurred with White, defending his posi­ tion as simply information he had gleaned while talking with administrative faculty. “I solicited input to help me make a decision,” Lomonaco said. Lomonaco said knowl­ edge of support for Weeldreyer as superinten­ dent came to him unsolicited. Lomonaco said within the process, Martin adequately met the candidate profile. Trustee Kyle Clement said he was tom between Smith and Martin. “The fact that it sounds like a majority of the admin­ istration feels that Dirk is a number one, to me I know he’s not a candidate, but at the same time Clement was interrupted by a chorus of objection from board members and the audi­ ence, who vocalized that Weeldreyer, as effective an interim superintendent he has been, was never a candidate in the first place and should not be considered.

If you’re like most people, you’d probably say that, among other things, you want to retire comfortably, Obviously, that’s a worthy long-term goal, requiring long-term investing. But as you journey through life, you’ll also have such as buying a sec­ ond home, remodeling your kitchen or taking a much-needed vacation. Will you need to invest differently for these goals than you would for the long-term ones? To answer that question, let's first look at how you might invest to achieve your longer-term goals. For these goals, the key investment ingredient is - quite simply, you want your money to grow as much as possible over time. Consequently, you will likely want a good percentage of vehicles, growth-oriented such as stocks and other stock-based investments, to fund your 401(k), IRA or other accounts. However, the flip side of growth is risk. Stocks and stock-based investments will always fluctuate in value which means you could lose some of the investments best suited for short-term goals won’t come w ith full guaran­ tees. either, but. by and large, they do offer you a reason­ able amount of confidence that your principal will remain intact. Some short­ term investments have specific terms — i.e., two years, three years, five years, etc. meaning you do have an incentive toto hold hold these incentive until investments until they mature. Otherwise, if you cash out early, you might pay some price, such as loss of value or loss of the income produced by these invest­ ments. Nonetheless, these types of investments arc usu­ ally not difficult to sell. either before they mature or at maturity, and this liquidity will be helpful to you when you need the money to meet your short-term goal. some, or even all, of your principal. Hopefully, though, by putting time on your side - that is, by holding your growth-oriented investments for decades - you can over­ come the inevitable short­ term price drops. In short, when investin for long-term goals, you're seeking significant growth and, in doing so, you’ll have to accept some degree of investment risk. risk. But But when when investment you’re after short-term goals, the the formula formula isis somewhat somewhat difdif­ ferent: ferent: You You don't don’t need need maximaxi­ mum mum growth growth potential potential as as i much as you need to be rea­ ; sonably confident that a cer­ tain amount of money will be there for you at a certain time, You may want to work with a financial professional to select the appropriate investments for your shortterm goals. But, in general, you'll need these invest­ ments to provide you with the following attributes: ■ short-term goals, growth • Protection • • of Stability issuer - As mentioned above, when you own stocks, you have no assurance that your principal will be preserved; there’s no government agency, no office, guaranteeing that you won’t lose money.

The Walker-based compa­ ny sent engineers to give TK students pointers and a help­ ing hand last year and pre­ sented the girl’s team with a $ 1,000 sponsorship check for the Vex Robotics competi­ tion this season. The funds will help the teams purchase additional materials and equipment needed to build and perfect their robots. “It’s just going to be a big boost for us to be able to get more materials and build bet­ ter robots for competition,” said high school student Annabelle Byers. Last year was the first time the high school sent two teams into Vex Robotics competition and, with the help of a state grant, was able to form an all-girls team. High School teacher Donna von der Hoff said she’s excited about the prog­ ress the teams made in the last year and hopes, especial­ ly, that more girls will con­ tinue pursuing learning more about robotics. In order to receive the Challenge from grant Manufacturing, TK students create were asked to Twitter Facebook and accounts to showcase their in who works with this kind of stuff every day is a big benefit. We learned a lot, she said. von der Hoff said the exposure to robotics in the real world was also invaluable for the students. “It really gives them an idea of what they can do beyond high school and how this can apply to real life careers,” she said. “It’s just wonderful to be able to get this kind of expe­ rience and to have this sponsorship from Challenge Manufacturing,” said von der Hoff. the assistance from Challenge Manufacturing really helped the teams solidify their robots and make adjustments to make them operate smoothly. Engineers came to the high school multiple times to assist with designing, building and programming the robot. Engineers Ieven came out‘ one snow day last winter to help students. Byers said she liked get­ ting the expert help from Challenge engineers at Manufacturing and is very appreciative of the sponsorship, “To have someone come Lee Elementary Mileage Club students honored TK Lee Elementary students joined the Mileage Club by running at least 100 miles this school year.

A solo home run by Sydney Bums in the bottom of the first inning was the only hit for the Eagles off of Gehrls, who threw the first two innings. VanZytveld went 3-for-4 in the lead-off spot for the Scots, and Mitchell and Cross were both 2-for-3 at the plate in game two. Gehrls, Cross and Becker had their team’s three RBI.

Caledonia head coach Steve Sanxter said defenders Avery, Grace Averv. Jenna The Trojans needed a win, had a lead, but wound up with a tie Monday at Grand Rapids Christian’s Gainey Athletic Complex. The Thomapple Kellogg varsity girls' soccer team built a 2-0 lead in the first half, but Grand Rapids Christian scored twice in the final 20 minutes to end TK’s hopes of winning another OK Gold Conference title with the two teams finishing in a 2-2 tie. The two teams also fin­ ished in a 0-0 tie in their first match-up of the season. TK is now 5-3-2 in the OK Gold Conference this season after also falling at South Christian Thursday. Maddie Raymond and Kylie Adams scored the two TK goals in the match up with the Eagles. TK head coach Joel Strickland said Tess Scheidel and Ellie Adams controlled the pace of play in the middle and found holes in the Grand Rapids Christian defense to create a number of scoring chances of his team in the early stages of the game. & AIR CONDITIONER COMBO Ends June 15, 2018 & Residential & Commercial -Gas and Oil Furnaces r Air Conditioners Heat Pumps Water Heaters -- :: lilt Humidifiers Konwerski and Carsyn Geik helped force many of the shots to be from distance, Krupiczewicz made several great saves and held the Rams scoreless until midway through the second half.

The Hawks topped the Trojans 3-2 and 4-1 in the two games of their double­ header in Ada.

You’re going to get a consistent leader we have been up and down our pro­ file, and I am completely behind this gentleman as our next superintendent.” “He fits the profile, there’s no doubt about that,” said board president Marcy White. “And he’s from St. Johns, a community that in so many ways, is like us there’s no way you can read the information and input [from Caledonia] and not know we’re all on the same team moving forward.” Donahue made a motion to offer the superintendent position to Martin and enter contract negotiations upon his acceptance. The motion was seconded by Behm and passed unanimously, elicit­ ing a standing ovation from the audience. Martin was called imme­ diately after the board’s deci­ sion. With excitement, he thanked the board and com­ munity for the invitation to serve as Caledonia’s next superintendent, “I am extremely honored and humbled by the opportunity to lead Caledonia Schools,” Community Martin said. “I look forward to working with the board and the staff to serve the stu­ dents and community.” “It was clear Dr. Martin was an incredible fit for the candidate profile we devel­ oped,” White said later. “He made an excellent impres­ sion on those he met with during the process, and his experience and training clearly demonstrate his preparation to successfully lead our school district. The unanimous decision to offer the job to Dr. Martin is the result of several months of work by the board. There was tremendous support and input from staff, students, parents and community members. We are all anxious to welcome the Martin fami­ ly to the Caledonia commu­ nity.” “From the beginning, I dents, Martin frequented sports thought there was one candiand other extra-curricular date that checked every box [on the superintendent pro­ events, Stauffer said. “We were told ‘You’d be file] , and maybe even earned HI crazy not to hire him,”’ she extra credit on some of said. “This was a direct them,” said Jason Saidoo. quote, three times, from one “And that was Dr. Martin. principal, and many others Every single person I have said the same thing.

The site team heard the same explanation from Martin’s colleagues in St. Johns.

Martin saw a state admin­ istrative position as an opportunity to help struggling schools get back on their feet. Martin soon noticed the position was not what he had expected. “It was very compelling to hear his reason why he left,” Switzer said. All of the kids lit up when asked about Martin, said Angie Stauffer.

He often conducted coffee-and-conversation events to gather opinions of community community stakeholders, stakeholders, the the team found. Even Even the the superintendent superintendent of Washtenaw Schools traveled to St. Johns to give his recommendation of Martin, Throughout the weekslong interview process, the Caledonia Board of Education expressed concern about Martin’s short stint as the state’s school reform officer. The board questioned whether Martin would stay long term with Caledonia if he resigned from the Department of Education shortly after being hired. The dynamics at the Department of Education quickly changed after Martin accepted the position, Martin said in past interviews. He quickly realized the position others, gathers data and interprets information to make informed decisions, is a leader and team player, and is knowledgeable of finances and curriculum. “All of the administrative staff said how he continues to empower his team to do their job,” Jongekrijg said. “He pushes them and has an uncanny ability to find strengths in people that they might not see in themselves.” Martin grows his teams in mutual respect and trust, Jongekrijg learned while talking to Martin’s colleagues, and he is willing to take the blame when things go wrong. Just as important­ ly, he praises his team when things go well. He is also willing to take flak for the district. He creates a posi­ tive, safe and fun working environment. • Other words the team heard were fair, integrity,, passion, relational, knowl­ edgeable, experienced, visionary and mentor. “Everything that [Martin] shared in the interview pro­ cess was backed up by every single person [in his . dis­ trict],” Jongekrijg said. 4/ SPECTRUM HEALTH Mobile Mammography Coming to Spectrum Health Pennock Family Medicine - Gun Lake 12851 West M-179 Highway, Wayland c- Denied Benefits?

Like Macayla herself, her legacy demands to be known in more than words and thoughts. A scholarship set up in Kohn’s honor was awarded to five Caledonia seniors Wednesday. October 28, 2016 started like any other day for the Kohn family. But what should have been a routine day ended in tragedy when Macayla Kohn lost control of her vehicle and careened off the road. She was pro­ nounced dead at the scene. The Kohn family and the entire Caledonia community grieved. Macayla Kohn was beloved by her fellow stu­ dents and teachers. She was active on many varsity sports teams, including volleyball, softball, and basketball. She was a talented athlete, dedi­ cated friend, infectious smil­ er, and servant leader. Her untimely death at just 16-years-old tore a hole in the Caledonia community. For the Kohns and for Caledonia, Macayla’s death stole her future from the countless lives she touched. Nearly two years later, however, Macayla is still giving back. Several Caledonia High School seniors were awarded the Macayla Lee Kohn Scholarship on Wednesday. The recipients, all Kohn’s classmates, had experienced her kindness in life. In death, Macayla’s legacy lived on by bequeathing $550 to five of her classmates. The Kohns yearned for a way to celebrate their daugh­ ter’s legacy. They didn’t have to wait long because Macayla’s legacy was des­ tined to transcend even death to affect her community in a tangible way. With money leftover from their daugh­ ter’s funeral, the Kohns host­ ed a basketball fundraiser to benefit Macayla’s college bound classmates. The Macayla Lee Kohn Scholarship was bom. “I knew she would have wanted us to do a basketball tournament, she loved that sport,” said her mother Jessica Kohn. “And I know the money that would come from that she would want donated. It’s important to me that we give back to the com­ munity that she grew up in. I know it’s what she would Recipients of the Macayla Lee Kohn Scholarship and the Kohn family.

There were no applicants for the first scholarship, so the Kohns picked three girls from their daughter’s favor­ ite sports as beneficiaries. The girls selected were friends of Macayla. She would have wanted the money to go to them to help further their education, her mother said. This year, scholarship can­ didates were required to apply. But the process differed from other applications. Macayla often docu­ mented her life through self­ ie photos and videos. In her memory, applicants submit­ ted videos explaining how their future educational goals aligned with Macayla’s legacy of love and service to others. “It was really a way to honor her and show she loved non-traditional pro­ cesses,” said her mother. Plus, applicants had fun in the process. Their video applications, played at the Caledonia Academic Awards Wednesday, ranged from the humorous to the fascinating. Applicants picked inside jokes, ones they would have pulled with Macayla. »I Another provided a time lapse presentation of her drawing a beautiful portrait of her late friend. given in The gifts Macayla’s spirit proved to the emotional recipients that friendship never dies. Each described how they intended to use the money in honor of Kohn’s legacy. “This is about carrying on her legacy and celebrating her life while she was here,” said Jessica Kohns. “She was a light, she made a lot of people laugh.” Another memorial schol­ arship celebrating the life of Brookelyn Elias was award­ ed to two Caledonia seniors Wednesday. Elias, a tenyear-old resident of Gaines Township, passed away in 2014. The Brooklyn Elias Legacy Scholarship award was also presented on Wednesday by the Elias family. Presentation of the two scholarships each year will forever provide a tie from the past to that of the future. For the Kohn family, this year’s presentation comes at an especially difficult time since Macayla would have been part of 2018’s graduat­ ing class. “She would have been i I L i « 4 >• b. 4 I V* < I J A.

Barry County recycling coordinator Sarah Archer pointed to the facility as one of several models other municipalities could use in helping improve recycling. Sarah Archer from Iris Waste Diversion Specialists explains the next steps in helping the county reduce, reuse, and recycle. which would include a coun­ ty recycling webpage and toll-free hotline. “We’re also moving toward working a little closer with the townships and pro­ viding [the county] with rec­ ommendations,” Archer said. Archer was careful not to suggest programs that have worked in other counties but might not be palatable for Barry County residents. Under the current model of recycling in the county, increased recycling rates would actually increase overall cost, Archer said, Even if recycling is streamlined and expanded, transportation costs to distant pro­ cessing facilities would still be substantial, she explained, “Most of the communities are beholden to the haulers taking their materials,” she said. “It is really a per-ser­ vice, per-pull model.” But the short-term pains of getting recycling off the ground are well worth the long-term gains for two reasons. First, the state is run­ ning out of places to put garbage. The Michigan DepartmentofEnvironmental Quality estimates existing Michigan landfills will reach capacity by 2044.

According to the DEQ, 145,288 cubic yards of waste were disposed in the Hastings landfill in 2016, enough to fill 44.5 Olympic swimming pools. The DEQ estimates another another 29 29 years years of of remainremain­ ing ing capacity capacity at at the the Hastings Hastings facility, facility, while while owner owner Waste Waste Management estimates Management another another 42 42 years years of of capacity, capacity. According to a 2013 study conducted by Grand Valley State University, the county only recycles 3 percent of its waste, which rates poorly compared to other counties in the state. Regionally, Michigan exhibits lower recycling rates than other Great Lakes states, Archer said. ’ She said she hopes waste diversion will extend the ser­ vice life of landfills for non-recyclable items. The second incentive for increased recycling helps serve the bottom line. Businesses are becoming more reliant on recyclables as raw materials in their pro­ duction facilities. Several regional manufacturing facil­ ities rely on recycled plas­ tics, paper, and metals for their products. Many of them have been forced to import materials from out of state, a black spot on the state’s recycling profile in Archer’s book. “On the manufacturing side of it, they need a clean product, so our providing convenience to recycle and creating a single-stream recycling system has come at the cost of reducing the qual­ ity of the material that we provide to the processors,” ufactures, it has a shot at turning a profit to fund a sustainable recycling pro­ gram. But the catch is that it’ll take a little more effort on part of residents and municipalities to get a clean­ er recyclables stream. The convenience of com­ mingled roadside recycling has made waste diversion easier for residents but creat­ ed a problem for the busi­ nesses reliant on the county’s recycling stream, Commingled, or single stream, recycling is hard to sort and clean, making it difficult and costly for manufacturers to process. Sorting recycled materials makes the process more arduous for residents, but easier for busi­ nesses that utilize the final product, That fact is nothing to shake a stick at, Archer said, requiring a long hard look at the trade-off of a poor-quality recycling stream for convenience’s sake. “We need to take a look at that to be able to provide high-quality, clean material to those companies that need to use those materials in their processes,” she said. Overall, the current of the county's recycling streams aren’t swift enough to make recycling affordable. As it rates right now, Archer said, Barry County’s low recy­ cling rate wouldn't keep the lights on without some inter­ vention. It would need a shot in the arm or, better yet, more supply. The latter would be accomplished by getting more people to recycle, which is her main goal. Doing that would help create a more self-sustaining and viable business model while reducing net materials enter­ ing the landfill. “We have to increase par­ ticipation in order to increase the volume of material we’re diverting,” Archer said. “But f jits I.

Most municipal drop-off facilities struggle with well-intended non-resident recyclers taking advantage of “free” drop-off sites. With pure intentions, non-resi­ dents who dip into municipal recycling programs actually hurt the bottom line. Though the trash is diverted from the waste stream, the extra cost is footed by the taxpayers. Archer said she hopes for a system where this phenome­ non is no longer the case.

Building the county’s recycling website and launching an educational campaign serve as immediate grass­ roots steps while the county mulls potential long-term policy. “The next step now is to get out and start having conversations with each of the townships and local units of government,” Archer said. Many townships are eager for the leg up Archer can help give their recycling ini­ tiatives. Regina Young, who rep­ resents the Barry-Eaton District Health Department, recommended sharing the report with units of govemment to reach consensus as the program moves forward. The three-piece puzzles were brightly painted by the TK Arts Club members.

But Bluhm and Craven opted instead to handmade donate their items. The girls made 20, threepiece wooden puzzles shaped like turtles, pigs and alligators. Each puzzle piece is painted brightly on both sides and pieces are interchangeable so there are many colorful options for young chil­ dren to create. The two students used a computer program to design the patterns. After getting all the pieces cut and sanded, they enlisted help from the TK Art Club to colorfully paint the pieces with stripes, polka dots and fun designs. Both girls said they have enjoyed the woods class and hope to be able to fit more woods classes into their schedules in the future.

Further studies will have to be conducted to determine the best location for such a facility. “That’s how a lot of rural counties and states handle their materials,” Archer said. Combining recycling programs or creating hauler con­ tracts so everyone pays the same are several immediate options to help lower recycling costs while raising participation. Many municipal officials Archer contected expressed willingness to work with one another and even combine their programs to better serve the county’s recycling needs and cut costs. “There are a lot of good models out there, in this county specifically, that I think can benefit from each other,” she said. “Even com­ bining some of those together, we could see some cross-benefit there.” Drawing from community resources and engagement would see it through the long haul, Archer said. If contracts or bids for recycling services are to be drawn up, the coun­ ty needs to bring area waste haulers into the conversation. Another factor to take into consideration is the possibili­ ty of requiring residents to change waste haulers in order to be served by recycling. “Before you spend a lot of time, I would go ahead and put your feelers out to the townships to see if they’re TK hosting open house for retiring superintendent as'i* ST Steve Essling, who rep­ resents the waste manage­ ment industry on the solid waste oversight committee. “[Haulers] do track this information, but it is a com­ petitive marketplace,” he said. There are three franchise haulers in Hastings, with only two currently seeing use. Despite haulers’ white-knuckled grip on waste data, they are catching on to recycling as a smart business move. “All the major companies are heading towards zero waste,” Essling said. “But you have the major problems of disposal costs and recy­ cling costs.” Recycling costs have sky­ rocketed in the previous decade, he said. Recycling is now poised as a major com­ petitor to traditional waste disposal, with both angling for the same “product” sup­ plyWaste haulers aren’t opposed to recycling, Essling said. They are just opposed to not making enough money. “We would just as soon not operate landfills and have composting facilities if we could set that business dynamic up to be competi­ tive,” he said. “Sure, I’d love to come back and say that we’re going to close the Hastings landfill down because we have other options available.” But for rural counties, options are usually not sus­ tainable in purely profit sense. The journey from the recycling bin to a central pro­ cessing facility is a long one for rural recyclers. For their fl audit along with nearly 97 percent of all assessing departments in the state.

The Trojans turned right around to face the Saxon team which is having an out­ standing season of its own in the Interstate-8 Athletic Conference. “Our girls played a lot of tennis yesterday afternoon and evening, and we had some long, long matches. (First singles player Grace) Brown, her first match was two and a half hours of just bang, bang, bang. She worked her tail off and then she had two matches after that. Everybody was in the same boat.” The only flight where the Trojans played two matches instead of three Monday at South Christian was second doubles. That was the one flight where the Trojans didn’t live up to their seeded, which was why the TK duo of Hannah Wright and Holly Bashore was so happy to pull out a tough win over the Saxons’ Megan Roe and Gretchen James in their match Tuesday. “I needed a good match,” said Wright as she came off the court following her 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 win in what turned out to be the final match of the day.

Appropriately, the weather also determined their final celebration would be in the same stadium Thursday night. The 227 graduating mem­ bers of the class were reminded by senior Lifc Cutlip that wherever they go, their actions matter and will make a difference. “Even the smallest action can go a long way,” she said. She told her classnates to remember their lessons in kindness and selfless actions through special events at school, such as Kindness Week, Service Day and the Making it Cool 2 Be Kind campaign. Those acts of kindness and selfless actions, she said, would take graduates across the country and make Middleville known for “more than just McKeown sweet com.” Her speech to her class­ mates was filled with home­ town humor painting a pic­ ture of the rural community. She affectionately joked about high school Principal Tony Petersen's instructions to students during Spirit Week. “He said, ‘Please be careful if you are driving your tractor to school tomor­ row.’ Most people wouldn't believe a school administra­ tor would condone driving a tractor to school,” she said. “Most of us dread the manure smells and being late to school because we got stuck behind a tractor,” she said. “But this place smells and feels like home.” As a third-generation TK graduate, Cutlip said she’s r » V I J r See TK Da£e 14 Thornapple Kellogg graduates follow tradition and toss their caps into the air at the end of the ceremony. f r7 o Caledonia graduates look ahead while remembering what’s behind Christian Yonkers Staff Writer Caledonia’s most recent graduates turned their tassels and turned over a new leaf at Thursday’s Caledonia High School Commencement. High school principal Brady Lake proudly invited class valedictorian Josephine Buchan to the podium, where she addressed the senior class. She encouraged her fellow graduates to study hard during their 12 credits of classes, two credits of laundry, and five credits of life. “Whether life after high school takes you to college, the workforce, the armed ser­ vices or other options, we will all find ourselves in new circumstances, new people and new possibilities,” she said. She called this the five credits of life.

Through great suffering, they preserved in love and cour­ age, encouraging others to live with the same convic­ tion. Buchan asked her class­ mates to stand and honor the Kohn family, and their friend, Macayla, who would walk alongside her classmates in spirit. . She thanked teaching staff, coaches, administration and parents, who were kind enough to not remind their children on the first day of kindergarten they only had 2,339 days to go until graduation. And lastly, I would like to thank our classmates for all the fun times, memories and friendships that we have made in the last 13 years that will last for the rest of our lives. 1 wish all of you the best of luck and happiness in all of your adventures and paths ahead, and that you all take time to enjoy the five credits of life, as well as per­ severe through those two credits of laundry,” Buchan said with a laugh. “I am very 41 honored to be one of the first to congratulate the class of 2018.” The seniors walked across more than a stage, but a threshold into the next chap­ ter of their lives. Through pain and trials, success and triumph, their unique paths all led to that one shared moment. From there, their paths will diverge into the direction of their dreams. “No matter where you go, or what you do, remember that you will always be Caledonia graduates," Lake said.

J Teacher Melissa Thank, Thomapple Township Supervisor Mike Bremer, TKMS student Killian Dudley, Paris Hale Viviano and teacher Bob Kaminski stand at CpI. Nicholas Roush’s grave in Mt. Hope Cemetery. I? Julie Makarewicz Staff Writer It has become a tradition in Middleville for eighth­ grade students to visit three local cemeteries and deco­ rate gravesites with American flags for Memorial Day. Prior to visiting Mt. Hope, Irving and Rutland cemeter­ ies, students learn a little about why Memorial Day is celebrated and the signifi­ cance of the day. In recent years, the lesson hasn't been only about the historical facts of Memorial Day in the United States, but also a story much closer to home - the story of Cpl. Nicholas Roush. Sometimes his former teachers tell his story; other times his par­ ents, Bob and Donna Roush, share it with the eighth grad­ ers before they visit and dec­ orate Mt. Hope Cemetery where Roush is buried. Roush, aa Thornapple Kellogg graduate, was 22 and serving in Afghanistan when he was killed in August 2009. This year, his story wasn’t just told to the middle school students, but his name will race Sunday in Charlotte, N.C. As part of the Memorial Day weekend race, each NASCAR driver will have the name of a fallen service member displayed on his vehicle. Roush's name will appear on the car driven by Michigan driver Erik Jones. Bob and Donna Roush have often talked about their son’s love of cars and his pride of restoring an Eagle Talon while a high school student. The Roushes plan to attend the NASCAR race that will be televisedw on Fox 17 starting at 6 p.m. Several TK Middle School students stopped and gathered at Roush’s gravesite while placing the American flags. Students say knowing someone from their own community and who had been at their own school makes Memorial Day a lot more real. A TK High School stu­ dent, Moriah “Mo” Sprague, wrote an essay entitled “A Hero” about how she came to understand Roush’s death and the impact he made on I f CpI. Nicholas Roush school students. • Sprague was 6 years old, she wrote, when Roush died. She didn't understand any of it at the time and didn't fully understand it until she was in middle school and had the same Memorial Day lesson as students did this year. Sprague eventually came to gain ownership of a bright red golden retriever named Charlie. The dog had belonged to Roush’s fiancee,. “The dog’s name, Charlie, Charlie as in honor of the unit/com- । Before he joined the Army, Nicholas Roush loved working on cars, including this one he fully restored. 44 He [Roush] was killed in action serving his country in Afghanistan and died pro­ tecting the people at home from further terrorist attacks,” she wrote. “Now, I only is he a son, a brother, and a friend, but he is also a hero. That certainly will never die.” “To this day, Charlie, a bright, red retriever. just like from ear to ear Nick. If Nick could hear me now, I would say, “Thank you. You gave up your life to protect mine. I won’t waste it.” • • • �z I - V ■F t ^1 f % T' 9* <p i & 4 ►z All types of artwork from all grade levels are Josie DeHaan paints a tattoo for Violet Kidder. �Page 18/The Sun and News, Saturday, May 26, 2018 4J - Trojans win first conference softball championship Brett Bremer Sports Editor The tiebreaker is already set up.

The two teams share the conference championship this spring and will meet for a third time Tuesday when the Wildcats host the Trojans for a Division 2 Pre­ District contest. The winner of Tuesday’s bailgame will be back in action at Wayland Union High School Saturday in the district semifinals. “There is a lot of chemis­ try. A lots of kids have to sacrifice stuff, and they do. They play for one another and we try to keep it fun,” TK head coach Tom Hudson said. “They never quit. We were behind in a lot of games prior and they hang together and that is what it is all about. “I’m very proud of them, It’s neat. We’re very happy.” Hudson’s daughter, Meg, is as three-year starter for the SCHOOL DISTRICT NOTICE OF A PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED 2018-2019 BUDGET PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that on June 11, 2018, at 7:00 o’clock p.m., at Thomapple Kellogg Middle School, 10375 Green Lake Road, Middleville, Michigan, the Board of Education of Thomapple Kellogg School will hold a public hearing to consider the District’s proposed 2018-2019 budget.

Meg got the win in the circle in game one Wednesday, holding the Wolves to two runs on three hits and four walks. She struck out eight before Page Vanstee took over to get the final out. At the plate in that opener, Meg had a pair of doubles and drove in three runs. “It was lighthearted. It was fun, but it was also really serious,” Meg said of the team’s approach coming into the final conference doubleheader. “We knew we had to get down to business and we knew we had to win these games.” She said she has looked up at the softball banner in the gym a lot. When she has, she hasn’t been pleased with see­ ing the mostly bare banner. “I think there is a whole new attitude with my dad and (assistant coach John) Greenman. They bring a really great energy to us, and really pump us up and get us going. I feel like ever since they came into the program and all the girls we have have really great attitudes about getting to work.” The Trojans did some great work at the plate in the ballgames Tuesday, a six-in­ ning win in game one and a five-inning win in game two. Vanstee, Bre Lake and Audrey Mulder had two hits each for TK in game one, and Shylin Robirds, Mo Sprague, Ashley Snyder, Carley Grummet and Kara Burbridge had one hit each, with Burbridge belting a double. Hudson blasted another double in game two, and also walked twice. TK batters combined for six hits and eight walks in game two. Vanstee, Sprague, Snyder, Lake and Burbridge each singled once.

The hope was for a June I start with project completion before the start of the new Thornapple Kellogg School year on Aug. 21. The esti­ mate now is that the project will be completed by the end of August. Village Manager Duane Weeks said the low bidder for the project Langlois & Sons Excavating Inc. out of Hopkins - has said it will make the project a priority and try its best to have it completed before school starts. The low bid from Langlois was $427386 - slightly less than the engineering estimate of $430394. In another road project, council members will con­ sider spending an additional $10300 for chip and seal work on Irving Road. The Barry County Road Commission is doing chipand-seal work on the road from the Thornapple Township line to the village limits. Department of Public Works Director Alec Belson said it makes sense to have the BCRC extend the project to include the road surface within the village limits to Main Street. He said that estimated cost cost isis also also estimated $10300. $10300. Council Council members members will vote on the project at their June 12 regular meeting. In other matters at the committee of the whole meeting Tuesday: - Council members heard an audit report from Dan Veldhuizen. He told village leaders the village is in god financial shape and there were no major issues with this year’s audit. He said there are fewer adjustments needing to be done than last year and that speaks highly of the village staff and their expertise in handling the finances. Veldhuizen also noted the village has positive balances in accounts and recalled it wasn't all that many years ago the village was in a deficit situation. “Overall the village has good people working on the 41 c O CTDCCT %>66 d/ncc/f Western Week features hay rides, equestrian demonstrations, parades and more.

The township fund bal­ ance sits at just under $3.5 million, with $1.86 million being assigned and the remaining $1.6 million unal­ located for any specific pur­ pose. Unassigned funds may be spent for any board-ap­ proved purpose. “Not too many townships have $1.86 million set aside for acquisitions,” Veldhuizen said. “You’re very fortunate to have that.” A healthy fund balance would be three to six months’ worth of money set aside for emergency purposes, he said, With a 56 percent unassigned fund balance, the township has plenty of resources to ibuA tJimaoi rienwoT aso gnil bstnsa iudbtoV isbnni 3flT h son .noiliim linisnioT bstL 61 U .oeoq naqa -xl i invoiq toff Up3£ ID I f” .bue svsri oi ad /A dbtoow :o rfnow & s iftiW od bnift olq asri » f i help it through a rainy day.

The three teams competed at the Odyssey of the Mind World Finals at Iowa State University last month. Two teams represented the high school and one team was made up of all sixth graders from the middle school. All three teams placed in the top half in their world divisions. The teams joined joined more than 835 teams from around the world in Ames, Iowa, for the annual competition where only the top teams in the state are eligible to compete. The high school team of Anna Miller, Clair Jansma, Grace Densham, Emma Chapman, Wyatt Crampton, Zane Walters and Jake Maring, placed 13th out of 54 teams in its division. The team is coached by Barb Maring and Mary Chapman. The nrhpr crhnrJ other hioh high school team is made up of all fresh­ men, including Ellie Essenberg, Aubrey Evans, Kelly Gasser, Kyra Shepard, Brendon Carlson, Michael Brown and Chnstel Christel Hoskins. The team placed 23rd out of 54. The team is coached by Rebecca Hoskins and Michelle Essenberg, The sixth-grade team of Marian Gielincki, Shelby Robinett, Whitney Ruger. Mallory Hagemann, Cash Rabley, Billie DeWent and kSdpn Hamming Hammino nlarpd Kaden placed 32nd out of 69 teams. The team is coached by Melinda Robinett and Reagan Gielincki. During their stay in Iowa. two of the TK teams were paired with an international team. The freshman high school team was partners with a team from South Korea. Two team members. Christel Hoskins and Ellie Essenberg, also reconnected with a* team from Poland they became friends with when they went to the wwld competition three years ago. The middle school team was paired w ith a team from Switzerland and learned a lot more about the Swiss culture. During the four-day world competition, the teams participated in opening and closing ceremonies similar to the opening and closing cere­ monies of the Olympic games. A post on the OM Website sums up the world experi­ ence: “It was a creative extravaganza where more than 835 teams from all around the world shared their ideas and work. While only a few left with a trophy, every­ one came out a winner just by solving an Odyssey of the Mind problem and compet- ing on the world stage.” Odvssev Odyssey of the Mind encourages students to use critical thinking, teamwork, creativity, arts, science and technology and presentation skills. Each team must solve one of five long-term OM problems designed for the yearly competition. Each solution is unique and cre­ ative, with no two ever the same. Teams also have to compete in a spontaneous problem where they have no idea what problem is going to be presented and have a set amount of time to come up with a solution and presentation. ’u*1 ■ ■y Zw <V:,‘ fl® "''■•'I J , L ki IMP 7^ IH' I®?1- The middle school team, made of all sixth-grade students, enjoys being team bud­ dies with a team from Switzerland.

The Journey Church’s new campus damaged by fire Julie Makarewicz Stdff Writer Journey Church’s plan to open a new Middleville cam­ pus in a few months took a major step backward after a fire Monday night heavily damaged the building. Hastings firefighters were called to the church at 1164 M-37 in Rutland Township at about 10 p.m. Flames could be seen coming from the roof of the building. Fire officials do not yet know what caused the blaze. No one was at the church when the fire broke out and no firefighters were injured battling the blaze.

The new Middleville site includes 30 acres and was the former home to Wesleyan Middleville Church. Journey Church was making extensive renova­ tions inside the existing church facility as well as building an approximate 4,000-square-foot addition. Hastings firefighters were assisted Monday night by Thornapple, Freeport, Yankee Springs and Wayland fire departments. Unfortunately, and as some are aware, the Middleville location is on fire right now. We have no further informa­ tion at this point, but appreci­ ate your prayers for the fire department who is on site and for wisdom moving forward.’’ Journey Church started in Caledonia about 10 years ago.

If you are planning on ty ing the knot this month, it's an exciting time, but be aware that being mar­ ried might affect you in unex­ pected ways - including the way you invest. If you and your new spouse both earn fairly high incomes, you may find that you are not eligible to contribute to a Roth IRA. A Roth IRA can be a great way to save for retirement. You can fund your IRA with virtually any type of investment, and. although your contributions are not deductible, any earnings growth is distributed tax-free, provided you don't start withdrawals until you are 59-1/2 and you've had your account at least five years. In 2018, you can contribute up to $5,500 to your Roth IRA, or $6,500 if you're 50 or older. tut here’s where your “just ______ married status can affect your ability to invest in a Roth IRA. When you were single, you could put in the full amount to your Roth IRA yOur modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) was less than $120,000; past that point, your allowable contributions _____ j were reduced until y Our MAGI your reached $135 000. after whichi you cou|j no longer contribute to a Roth IRA at all. But once you got married, these limits „ot double.’ Instead, if you're married and filing jointly, your maximum con­ tribution amount will be gradually reduced once your MAGI reaches reaches SI SI89,000, 89,000, and and MAGI your ability ability to to contribute contribute disdisyour appears entirely when your MAGI is SI99,000 or more. Furthermore, if you are married and filing separately, you are ineligible to contribute to a Roth IRA if your MAGI is just SI0,000 or more. So, as a mamed couple, how can you maximize your contributions? The answer may be that, similar to many endeavors in life, if one door closed to to you, you, you you have have to to isis closed find another another -- inin this this case, case, aa find backdoor” Roth Roth IRA. IRA. ““backdoor" Essentially, a backdoor Roth IRA is a conversion o1 traditional IRA assets to a Roth. A traditional IRA does not offer tax-free earnings distributions, though your contributions can be fully or partially deductible, depending on your income level. But no matter how much you earn, you can roll as much money as you want from a traditional IRA to a Roth, even if that amount exceeds the yearly contribution limits. And once the money is in the Roth, the rules for tax-free withdrawals will apply. Still, getting into this back door is not necessarily without cost. You must pay taxes on any money in your tradinonai IRA ika that tnat hasn't hasn't alreadv already tional been taxed, and the funis going into your Roth IRA will likely count as income. which could push you into a higher tax bracket in the year you make the conversion. Will incurring these poten­ tial tax consequences be worth it to you? It might be. as the value of tax-free with­ drawals can be considerable However, you should certainly analyze the pros and cons of this this conversion conversion with with your of tax advisor before making any decisions. In any case, if you’ve owned a Roth IRA. or if you were even considering one. be aware of the new paramcters you face when you get married. And take the opportunity to explore all the ways you and your new spouse can create a positive investment strategy for your future.

County recycling coordinator Sarah Archer recently unveiled a report outlinin: the county’s recycling pro­ file. The report was provided for Orangeville Township's consideration, which has long been aware of short­ comings in its recycling prot “Do we want to continue as a township with the recy­ cling bins that we have that are literally going into the landfill every week?” clerk Mel Risner asked, adding that recycling bins at the fire station are no more than dumpsters. Orangeville Township spends $14,000 a year on recycling. Contaminated waste streams often mean the majority of otherwise clean materials are dumped in the county landfill.Contaminants commonly include plastic bags, trash and uncleaned material. Risner looked at Hastings Township’s recycling system as a possible model for Orangeville. The efficiency of Hastings Township’s unit has effectively increased recycling rates in the municipality while providing a cleaner recycling stream. Perino mentioned that curbside recycling is minimal in Orangeville and surrounding townships, but pro- vides an effective way to make recycling easier for rural residents. Rook said he anticipates Archer will be able to help the township institute more efficient recycling in the near future. In the meantime, he recommended not throwing the baby out with the bath water. “Let's see what options we have before we pull the plug on what we’ve got,” he said. “The notion of taking away recycling from our cit­ izens is an uncomfortable one," Perino said. “We're not moving forward if we're moving away.” He recommended review­ ing Archer's recently com­ piled report to determine the best recycling practices for township residents, The board approved a res­ olution allowing up to two dust-control applications to be applied on the township's roads, at the discretion of the county road commission, The board agreed to pay for a second treatment, if needed, at a cost of $5,800. In his final report as fire chief, Boulter reported May's fire calls were up 12 calls compared to May 2017. Every month this year has seen higher volume than last year, he said. To help meet the growing demands on the department, each firefighter has now received profession­ al firefighter certifications. fl 1 I r ♦ i J J6l>l few rs a saaas s ht Urii(alfaiit b -raiainm • I r; hsa I iss! isfei r 'entlkMIka j Li ;J ।* 1 f Presentations at 6 PM; tour of the plant will begin at 6:20 PM Interviews for interested potential BRADFORD WHITE I 200 Lafayette St., Middleville Ml 49333 a every 6 months until you are well over $18 per hour I Now Hiring 2nd Shift Production Workers fl ■ } Excellent pay and benefits: $14 per hour to start, $0.50 raise HEATERS WATER 1 employees will be held after the tour.

The third graders who sewed the aprons seemed equally as excited about their hand­ made work. Students in in Krissta Hannapel’s and and Marc Lester’s classrooms took on the end-of-the-year project as a way of giving back and doing something for others. Hannapel said the service project was also educational and provided a chance for students to try something new. An e-mail from Bailey seeking art supplies for next year sparked the idea for the sewing project. With a little help from some parent and senior volunteers and some shared sewing machines from the TK Senior Center, third graders got to work making aprons. For many, it was the first time they had ever used a sewing machine. Max Durkee paid careful attention as he guided the material through the sewing machine. He said he’s sewn before, but never made an apron or anything like it. “I think it’s pretty cool,” said Durkee. “It’s going to be neat to get to wear them next year in art class.” Saige Clous helped her third-grade classmates navi­ gate use of the machines. She even prepared a tutorial video to help show the third-graders how to sew. “I like to sew because I can make a lot of different projects and stuff” said Saige. Her mother, Erin Clous has extensive sewing experi­ ence and sells her handmade clothing items online. She said the project was a fun way to work with her daugh­ ter and the other third grad­ ers and teach them a skill that many people no longer use. Erin provided all the scrap materials needed, pre-cut the shapes for the aprons and helped hand-tack the apron strings to put the finishing touches on the sewn projects. Some members from the TK Senior Center also donat­ ed their time to helping with the project.

It was a really good experi­ ence,” he said. This year, the class ran into a problem when the water temperature got too hot during Christmas break and all but one of the salmon died. “We named him the Lone Ranger,” said Fazio. “He was the only left.” The class was able to get more fish to complete the project and the students said they are hopeful many of their young fish will survive, “I wish we had a way to know whether they do make it or not,” said Fazio. “But I think they have a good chance.” The learning didn’t end when the fish left the class­ room. After the release in May, students were tasked to create their own “Salmon Alphabet” with a fact and photo or graphic about salm­ on and the Great Lakes for each letter of the alphabet. “It took a lot of research and there were some very hard letters - especially ‘q’ and ‘x.’ Those were the learn about the ecosystem and about invasive species. We talk about the importance of the Great Lakes and fishing and the billion dollar tourism industry to Michigan. I think the kids really enjoy the hands-on learning. It’s science in real life right in the classroom.” Wissink began conducting the project in his classroom about eight years ago. The Department of Natural Resources offers the pro­ gram and provides grants to schools that sign on to care for fertilized eggs until they can be released as young salmon into rivers and streams. Wissink works with Southwest Trouts Unlimited and the Wolf Lake Hatchery to get the salmon eggs.

Using a little ingenuity he found a way “x” fit perfectly into his presentation. He used “x” in Roman Numerals XLVI to represent the number “46” - referring to the largest Chinook Salmon caught in Michigan - a record 46.06 pounds. The letter “Q” stood for “Quagga Mussels” an invasive species found in the Great Lakes and something the students learned about as they studied the eco system. From “A” for Alevin - a newly hatched salmon” to “Z” for Zebra Mussel “ students created their own unique alphabet power point project. Novak said it was proba­ bly one of the best projects he did all year. “This was especially fun because we got to help raise living creatures and we got to release them into the river where they belong,” said I 4 -__ I i I f ♦ ■JL I I ♦ ■ ■ fei.

FHN, trying to get to the Division 2 State Final for the third consecutive season, scored a 3-1 victory over the Trojans who were playing in the regional round of the state tournament for the sec­ ond consecutive season. The Huskies have finished sec­ ond in the state in each of the past two seasons. The Trojans had the lead for most of the afternoon in Holland. Senior attacker Kylie Adams scored her 24th goal of the season for TK 2 * l% minutes and 17 seconds into the contest, collecting a punt from goalkeeper Monica Bluhm breaking free up the left side in front of the Trojan bench and carrying the ball in for a shot that she tucked just inside the far post. Adams ends her TK varsity career sixth in school history with 41 total goals and tenth all-time in assists with 15. “That’s a really good team. Hals off to them. They played really well. They're the third ranked team in the state. I’m proud of our girls though. I think we came into the game and we showed them what we re made of.

In one short burst of action late in the first half she beat the Huskies* Addie Brown to a ball on the left side of her box; cut off FHN attacker Alyssa Greshak on the right side of her box to earn a goal kick; and slid through a crowd of players from both sides to get to a ball that the Huskies had rolled into the box from her left. She got a lot of help from a strong defensive effort. Ellie Adams and Tess Scheidel were outstanding as usual in keeping pressure away from their goal box. defender Sophomore Elizabeth Meyering made a big play to keep her team in front in the first half, heading a Northern comer kick off of her goal line after it had got­ ten over Bluhm. In the end though, team­ mate Gracie DeWent entered the ballgame in goal for the Trojans as head coach Joel Strickland needed to take advantage of Bluhm's offen­ sive skills with his girls down a goal. The Trojans got a shot on goal from Carmen Beemer in the opening seconds of the second half, and put some more good pressure on the FHN goal, but a counter-at­ tack led to FHN’s Elyse DeSchryver finding some space in the middle of the offensive end. She placed a shot perfectly inside the left post to knot the score 6:48 into the second half. The Huskies picked up the momentum from there. TK did an excellent job of win­ ning fifty-fifty balls throughout the bailgame, midfielder Sarah Possett got head on most of the balls in the air, but there seemed to be fewer of those chances in the sec­ ond half as the FHN girls possessed the ball a bit more successfully, The Huskies took the lead with 28:19 to go in the ball­ game. FHN was able to roll a long pass from the defensive end across midfield and Anna Biebel got behind the Trojan defense and beat Bluhm in a one-on-one situa­ tion with a shot into the right side of the goal. The Trojans’ last best chance came with about 25:45 to play. Maddie Raymond brought down a free kick in the FHN goal­ mouth, from the foot of Ellie Adams at midfield, and took turns trying to get the ball on oal with Kylie Adams and Haley Bivens, but shot got into the belly of the FHN keeper to end the threat. FHN didn’t settle into a prevent defense. The Huskies kept up their attack. DeWent made a couple of nice saves in the final 15 minutes before Credence White was able to chip a shot over her outstretched fingertips with 9 seconds to go in the ball­ game.

TK defense gets it done in district final Brett Bremer Sports Editor Senior pitcher Dakota Phillips gets the shut out in the stat column, but it took the eight other gloves around the field to hold South Christian scoreless in the Division 2 District Final in Wayland Saturday. Phillips and the Thomapple Kellogg varsity baseball team scored a 1-0 win over their OK Gold Conference rivals from South Christian to earn a spot in today’s (June 9) Division 2 Regional Semifinals at Hope College. TK scored its lone run with the help of some wildness from the South Christian starter in the bottom of the first inning of the district final. A pair of walks and a hit batter loaded the bases. Nate Hobert, who started the rally with a two-out walk, scored from third on a passed ball. The Trojans’ senior center­ fielder, Hobert, also made one of the biggest plays of the game in the top of the fifth inning. With the Sailors’ Abraham House getting lead off second base with two out, his teammate Avery Brinkert drilled a single into center field. House tried to score on the play, and Hobert scooped up the ball and fired it to TK catcher Brenden Caswell who applied the tag for the final out of the inning. The Sailors had guys on base in each of the first five innings, but Phillips and the TK defense kept coming up with plays. After that close call in the fifth, Phillips retired the final six South Christian batters in order. “Dakota Phillips pitched a masterful game, and we had some great defense behind him,” Thomapple Kellogg head coach Jack Hobert said. •a?

Thursday, the board of trust­ ees approved a feasibility study for constructing 10-feet-wide walking paths throughout the community, a goal the township board has flirted with for decades. Geoff Moffat painted a picture of how walking paths could be installed throughout Yankee Springs, connecting the recreation area with Gun Lake, M-179, and commercial areas. Moffat will draft a concept map outlining possible routes for trails. The next steps include sharing the concept with MDOT and the road commission and whittling out terms and conditions they may impose. After that, the concept will be submitted to the township engineer to smooth out specifics. Finally, Moffat will explore state and federal programs which could assist in funding. “We could have all of that done by the end of August and in your hands,” he said. With an eventual detailed trail plan in hand, the board may decide to seek the pub­ lic’s opinion in an open forum and talk with other trail organizations for their input, Rick Moore, an active advocate for walkable communities in Barry County, added to what Moffat said, Moore was instrumental in securing and maintaining segments of the Paul Henry Trail. He lauded the benefits of communities connected by trails, and recommended Yankee Springs get on the band wagon. “It’s a real popular thing right now to be healthy," he said. “It’s time for this town­ ship to ride the wave of pop­ ular energy and get this done.” Trails also add a practical benefit, helping to connect businesses with much needed local foot traffic. The Gun Lake community has the potential to become an economic hotspot spurred by seasonal tourists and year round residents alike. All it's missing is a trail connecting points of interest, Moore said. “In this area, you need that trail to promote business, work together, and keep things local,” he said. Moore did concede that naysayers will be vocal in the first years of a trail. But once they see the benefit a trail can bring, the vast majority of dissenters will end up becoming supporters, "Once the trail goes in, they'll love it, too," he said, IL "That has been my experience for almost 98 percent of the property owners that at first opposed a trail. The best health insurance you can get is staying healthy." to Moore pointed Middleville as a model for what trails can accomplish, as well as the partnerships forged between government and private entities in maintaining it. Moore volunteered his experience in planning, as well as his help in maintaining any of Yankee Springs’ trails. He shared his vision of a trail connecting Eaton Rapids to Grand Rapids with I r 'Vi* Main Street in Caledonia overflows during the 2017 Western Week activities.

Membership in CFE is limited to production farmers or people who own land and lease it for farming purposes. Membership over the years has fluctuated widely from 260 to as many as 1,020, with 417 current members. Members include multiple generations of families and young farmers just getting started to farmers with 50 or more years in the business. Some of the members and leaders in the co-op today have lineage to the founding members 100 years ago. Two families in that group are the Kayser family of Caledonia and the Wenger family of Middleville. Max Kayser was one of the foundin founding members. Today, his son Gerald, grand­ son Paul and great-grand­ children Brian and Rachel are all still involved with the elevator. • The Wenger family also has four generations involved in the co-op, with fourth-gen eration member Phil Wenger now servin < as the board president. Joe Wenger was a found * ing member of the elevator. His involvement continued with his sons, Howard and Cliff, then his grandson Bob and great-grandsons Phil and Marty Wenger. Members of the co-op aren’t just members, they’re owners. The success or fail­ ure of the co-op as a whole is shared by all. The first patronage divi­ dends were paid out to stakeholders in 1937. In 2018, the elevator declared $1.25 mil­ lion in total patronage dividends and issued checks for 40 percent ($500,800) of that amount to the stakeholders. So how long will Caledonia Farmers Elevator last? The answer also is found in the pages of a historical Caledonia Farmers Elevator book: “As long as we contin­ ue to ‘further the work of cooperation’ as desired by the founders and meet the unmet needs of the custom­ ers ... this cooperative by the grace of God is on the road for another century.’’ •» • • • * ? Ri WALKABLE, continued from page tributaries throughout the recreation area and Gun Lake community. Future trails would likely be using existing road right­ of-ways, which requires per­ mission from MDOT and the county road commission. “While getting their per­ mission is possible, it takes some effort,” Moore observed. “There’s a lot of detail that goes into it.” Aug 10 Mid-Life Crisis Aug 17 Brian Randall Band Presented by: Advanced Stone Fabrications The Riverbank Music Series is sponsored by the Middleville Downtown Development Authority viduals mostly from the Caledonia and Middleville areas. These founders real­ ized the need for a grain ele­ vator and collectively pledged $15,850 to begin Caledonia Farmers Elevator. With the funds, they pur­ chased the Wilson Elevator in Caledonia and in 1920 the Dutton purchased Elevator as a second site. In those early days, it pro­ vided services mainly to farmers in southern Kent, northern Barry and northeast Allegan counties. Today, Caledonia Farmers Elevator provides services far beyond those early boundaries, stretching now as far south as the Indiana border, west to Lake Michigan, north to near Mt. Pleasant and east to near Lansing. Many of today’s members say the need for the com­ bined buying power, exper­ tise and services to farmers is as great as it was 100 years ago. Not only can farmers benefit from being able to purchase in bulk to lower overall costs, they also can share costs of specialized services, such as agronomy work and custom application of chemicals and fertilizers. Those specialized services have boomed with the start My Middleville . commission and MDOT may provide some! funding for trail construction, said Moffat, but will leave maintenance costs Ito the township. Moffat suggested creating a trail association to help defray maintenance costs. In Thornapple Township, for example, the’ municipalities partner with an all-volunteer trail associa­ tion to maintain the Paul Henry Frail, a model Yankee Springs could emulate for its own trail system. Regardless of grants and volunteers, the township will have to pitch in funds for construction and mainte­ nance. He advised the board to understand potential costs before adopting a trail proposal or approaching MDOT or the road commission. “There will be a budget impact on the general fund if this gets built,” Moffat said. “Go into that with your eyes wide open. It’s no different than maintaining your own local roads or any other infra­ structure” M-179 was recently desig nated a state scenic byway, which could help secure additionalI funding and grants, Moffat suggested, The board approved Moffat to conduct a feasibility study at a cost not to exceed $2,250. A past trail feasibility study will help Moffat’s efforts and may further defray the approved costs. “It takes long hard work and passion, but the thin; •J you’re going to get from it is the sincere appreciation from the people who use the trails,” said Moore, encour­ aged by the board’s forward progress. i �The Sun and News, Saturday, June 16, 2018/ Page 3 I I Middleville Lions Club plans July 3 activities Julie Makarewicz l Ms ffi -w will also be played at the pavilion.

If you’re a dad, you certainly may enjoy getting cards and gifts, of course. But, over time, you will gain even greater satisfaction by what you can give your chil­ dren - such as some valuable financial lessons. These lessons can include the following: • Setting goals - If you are contributing to an IRA and a 401(k) or similar employ­ er-sponsored plan, explain how you build these accounts now, while you are working, so you’ll have enough money to enjoy a comfortable retire­ ment someday. And you can bring your children into the picture, too, by telling them that another financial goal is saving enough to help send them to college or to further their education in other ways. • Value of understanding the financial markets - You may actually be quite sur­ prised at how interested your kids are in investing, espe­ cially the concept of “own­ companies through ing stocks and stock-based vehivehi­ cles. Depending on their ages, you might even want to show them the progress of like it, because such behavior can lead to bad outcomes, Use concrete examples: If you have a car that’s several years old, tell your children that it would be nice to have a new one, but you simply must wait until you can afford it. • Paying debts on time Tell your children that, no matter how good a saver you are, or how thrifty you try to be, you still have debts, such your own investments and describe, in general terms, how different events can cause the markets to rise and fall, especially in the short term. You could even discuss the difference between the basic types of investments, such as stocks and bonds. • Putting time on your side - You might want to emphar­ u size the importance of patience, and how investing is not a “get-rich-quick” scheme, but a process that requires decades of diligence and persistence. Let your children know that it’s of great value to start investing as early as possible, so you can put time on your side, giving investments a chance to grow. • Living within your means - We all know that you can’t always get what you want, Stress to your children that you can’t just splurge on big purchases whenever you feel as y°u,r mortSage Payment’ and it s important to pay these debts on time. You may not want to get too detailed about the consequences of missing debt payments - bad credit scores may not be that easy for children to under­ stand - but you can certainly mention that if you’re always late on payments, you might find it harder to borrow money when you really need it. By sharing these princi­ ples with your children, you will, at the least, give them something to think about, and you may well find that you’ve helped start them on the path to a lifetime of mak­ ing solid financial moves ; And who knows? If they truly master the ideas you’ve taught them, one day they might give you some really nice Father’s Day gifts.

Thursday, the board of trust­ ees discussed several town­ ship improvements, includ­ . ing walkable communities, the master plan, and veterans memorial. Geoff Moffat was approved to conduct a feasi­ bility study exploring the possibility of constructing walking trails along road right-of-ways in the town­ ship (see separate article). Moffat was allotted up to $2,250 to conduct the study, and will have a detailed plan ^Qrd,’cs ™ nQ;HPratinn for tI1A the h board consideration in August. Supervisor Mark Englerth was pleased to announce the monument for the long-antic­ ipated veterans memorial was laid at the fire station last weekend. He is now seeking volunteers and financial sup­ porters to bring the project to completion. The board accepted a draft master plan for public review and comment. The plan out­ lines township planning objectives for the coming years, and was drafted and recommended by the town­ ship planning commission. The plan will be available for review from surrounding municipalities and the board 63 days after its acceptance. Once the review period has ended, the board will conduct a public hearing before approving a final master plan. The board gave trustee Mike Boysen authority to create and manage township social media accounts. After attending a recent conference, Boysen was convinced of social media’s benefit in engaging township residents. Blood drives planned next week The American Red Cross has scheduled three blood drives in the area next week.

One major head­ ache is the amount of dust kicked up every year that blows onto houses and into homes, but residents along one Barry County gravel road say they are willing to help pay for an improve­ ment. Property owners on Moe Road in Thornapple Township may become part of a special assessment dis­ trict created by the township to help cover costs of addi­ tional dust control measures. A second public hearing on creating the special assess­ ment district will be held at the July 9 township board meeting. It begins at 7 p.m. in the township hall in Middleville. Anyone on the assessment roll can request to be exempt from the spe­ cial assessment. Township Supervisor Mike Bremer said one resident has already requested in writing to be exempt.

(Photo by Brett Bremer) Brett Bremer Sports Editor Second chances are rare so late in the state tournament, but Caledonia junior Brooklynne Siewertsen took advantage of hers in the top of the fourth inning of Saturday’s Division I Regional Final in Grand Haven. Siewertsen fouled off three straight pitches in an at-bat with one out and the bases loaded, her team knot ted 0-0 with Jenison. One of those foul balls was a pop up down the right field like that the Wildcat right fielder just couldn’t get ahold of. Siewertsen finally caught up to a pitch from Jenison senior Kaitlin Johnson, driving a ball back through the middle that brought home teammates Emmalee Hamp and Samantha Gehrls who sin­ gled to open the inning. “I was really nervous, but I think confidence is key so I knew I was going to hit the ball." Siewertsen said. “I actually thought that my coach was going to have me suicide squeeze it, but she didn't. She let me hit, and I got a hit, so it was cool. “I think we were more comfortable. We had seen the pitcher twice at that point and we were just starting to tag her.” With that seal finally bro­ ken, Caledonia went on to claim its first regional championship since 2015 with a 4-1 win over Jenison. The Caledonia varsity softball team started its day in Jenison with a 4-1 win over Lowell in the regional semifinals.

The never give up. They just don’t give up until the end. We’re going to go down to state and do our best in the next game and try to get to the next one.” Caledonia senior pitcher Samantha Gehrls was her usual outstanding self Tuesday, holding Alpena to two hits while striking out 10 in the complete-game shut out. Gehrls also scored the first run of the game after nearly putting one over the right field fence herself. The Wildcat right fielder couldn't corral her long fly ball on the warning track in the bottom of the fifth. After a couple groundballs, Gehrls was on third with two out and team­ mate Abby Mitchell behind her on second. They both came home on a single up the by teammate middle bv Brooklynne Siewertsen. Julia Becker would add an RBI single of her own after a Wildcat error allowed teammate Jadon Huyser to reachl safely. Ashleigh VanZytveld and Emmalee Hamp led off the Scots' sixth with singles, and Mitchell brought them both home with a one-out single into center, After nearly four full sea­ sons on the Caledonia varsity, including one trip to the slate championship game already, Gehrls has shared her experience with her teammates as much as she can. “1 think what has been important is letting the team know that every pitch mat­ ters,” Gehrls said. “At any moment the game can flop for the good and the bad. That's it, just playing to every pitch.” The Caledonia defense was great too. Caledonia third baseman Siewertsen made a couple nifty plays, starting a double play to end the bottom of the fourth and snagging another line drive with a runner on in the top of the sixth. Catcher Taylor Cross took care of the final out of the sixth, cutting down a would-be base-stealer at second. Gehrls added a div­ ing snag of a little pop-up along the first base line to end the Wildcats’ chances in the fifth. It wasn't always smooth sailing for Gehrls from the circle. She had to throw 132 pitches to get through the seven innings. “There is so just so much toughness there, grit, the will to win for her team, for her community, for her school,” Kaechele said of Gehrls. “I just can't say enough about her. You saw her dive for the ball there. That is what is in her. She is just one special lady. I am blessed to have her as a pitcher. Our kids came through with some big hits.” “They came back and played hard and I'm proud of them.” The win earned Caledonia a spot in the Division I State Semifinals at Michigan State University Thursday where they scored a l-0 win over Warren Regina. ■■ I***® i?<S r 5s.sefr ■j-zisu aids n t:W • Complete Collision Service ICAR • State Certified Techs •100% Guarantee On Repairs • Frame Repairs • Glass Repair $ 616-891-0150 § Ed Pawloski Jr. Owner 110 Johnson St., Caledonia • www.edsbody.com The Caledonia varsity softball team begins its celebration in the middle of Margo Jonker Stadium in Mount Pleasant Saturday after finishing off a 5-0 win over Alpena OPEN 7:30 TO 5:00 MONDAY THRU FRIDAY Lak' fill in the Division 1 State Quarterfinals.

(Photo by Brett Bremer) FERRIS II The Scots’ all-stater, and future Grand Valley State University softball and bas­ ketball player, is still leaming. She felt the butterflies during her team’s state quar­ terfinal Tuesday against Alpena at Central Michigan University. She was able to calm her nerves a bit better Thursday and avoid going too deep into the count against too many Regina bat­ ters. Gehrls picked up her sixth win, and third complete-game shut out of the postseason, scattering three singles while striking out nine Saddlelites. She only walked one. She has pitched 38 of the Scots' 39 postseason innings so far this season, allowing just two runs, both of which came on solo home runs in the Scots' two regional ballgames last weekend in Grand Haven. She has struck out 49 batters and walked nine, while allowing a measly 18 hits. Regina leadoff hitter Melina Livingston had two of her team’s three hits, a single up the middle to start the game and then she beat out a groundbail to short to start the top of the sixth. Regina never had a runner past second base and never had more than one girl on the base paths at a time. Caledonia had six singles off of Regina pitcher Marisa Puglia. Jadon Huyser was Ashleigh and 2-for-3 VanZytveld, Abby Mitchell, Taylor Cross and Brooklynne Siewertsen had one hit each. Gehrls drew the only walk for her squad. “As of right here, right now, we have the opportuni- Senior Samantha Gehrls pitches for Caledonia during her team’s 1-0 win over Warren Regina in the Division 1 State Semifinal at Michigan State University Thursday, (Photo by Brett Bremer) ty to make this run and leave a mark for our community. To be able to potentially bring a state championship would be the coolest thing, Gehrls said. “1 would love to have that for all our families and for all our friends and for our school.” The Scots improved to 28-6 with the win. They will face the 33-5 Hartland team, that bested Howell 6-4 in their semifinal Thursday, in Saturday’s championship game. Hartland will be play­ ing in the state final for the first time since winning the 1996 Class A state title.

Middleville receives artist painting of depot Hastings resident Gus Swenson has already made quite a name for himself as a train enthusiast, but and now he’s also becoming known for his painting. Swenson recently painted a picture of the Middleville Train Depot, which was donated to the village at a June Barry County Historical program. Middleville council member Jean Lamoreaux accepted the painting on behalf of the village. Swenson has been comcom­ missioned to do some historhistor­ ical paintings of the area I including train depots and stage coaches. In addition to donating the painting, Swenson also donated rights to the work so that village officials can use the painting to create cards and use it on brochures and other printed materials. * * * 1 * ’ 1 ? 1 �� https://barrycountyhistoryportal.org/files/original/25/728/SunandNews_2018-06-23.pdf 7218469f1a2488b1e5c8adba97fe7ed7 PDF Text Text The.

McDowell thanked the jurors who she said were “very attentive” during the trial which started Monday, Staff Writer After about a day and a half of deliberations, Barry County jurors found a Middleville man guilty of two charges, but not guilty of three additional charges. Eric Jon Archambault, 33, was convicted of criminal sexual conduct in the first degree with a child between the ages of 13 and 16 years old. He also was found guilty of accosting a child for immoral purposes. He was found not guilty of three additional first-degree criminal sexual conduct charges. th । KJ June 11 with the jury return­ ing a verdict June 19. “You worked very hard to get a unanimous verdict,” she said. Jurors began their delibera­ tions about 12:30 Monday, but were unable to reach a verdict. They returned Tuesday to continue their efforts. They asked several questions during their deliberation process and ultimately reached the unanimous verdict about 4 p.m. Tuesday, Assistant prosecuting attorney Jessica Payne told jurors during both her open­ ing and closing arguments the case was “serious but simpie ” She said the victim “just wanted the touching to stop.” She told jurors Archambault led a double life, had secrets and had no boundaries. She admitted there was a lack of physical evidence in the case, but told jurors to remember the testi­ mony of the victim. Defense attorney Mark Dodge reminded jurors there are two sides to every story and that this case is a “he said, she said” case without any physical evidence. You have to slow down and use caution. Use extreme caution and don’t rush to judgment,” Dodge told jurors during closing arguments Monday morning. “Err on the side of innocence.” Dodge reminded jurors people are wrongfully convicted of crimes only to find out years later they actually didn't commit them. “You are the last line of defense to make sure an inno­ cent person does not get con­ victed,” he said. He argued there was “tun­ nel vision” in the investiga­ tion of the case and a rush to get a conviction rather than find the truth. He outlined what he believed were sever­ al reasons to create reason­ able doubt in the case. The criminal sexual con- I duct reportedly occurred between about September 2016 and October 2017. Police were called to investigate the case Oct. 4,2017. On Oct. 19, charges were authorized against Archambault, and Oct. 23, 2017, Archambault turned himself in to officers. A 14- member jury of seven men and seven women heard the case with 12 select­ ed to deliberate a verdict. After the verdict was read. Archambault was taken into custody by the sheriff’s department. He will be housed in the county jail until his sentencing. \1 4 r. 1 LN ? a 14 l 1 I to. . alaska 7240 68*** Street SE Caledonia, Ml 49316 616-698-8104 Sunday Services: 9:30 AM - Worship 11:00 AM - Sunday School 6:00 PM-Adult Bible Study 6:00 PM - Student Ministries www.alaskabaptist.org '** ■ is ire fcaa.'e : if Itejfci lai • 9 z IK ; 4 it? fen Lk j CJBI us :a J.

Mitchell singled on a ball that the Eagle third baseman had a chance to make a play on. Cross stepped in and bounced a ground ball to short, but the Eagle shortstop had her toss to second base for the force out that would have ended the inning sail high into right field. Gehrls came around to score, leav­ ing Mitchell and Cross stand­ ing on third and second respectively. Brooklynne Siewertsen knocked an RBI single to right field and then teammate Jadon Huyser had the big blow of the ballgame, a tworun triple into deep right field that brought home two more Caledonia runs. All four runs were unearned. Everett finished the bailgame with nine strikeouts. She gave up only two earned runs, but Caledonia did manage 13 hits against the Eagle pitcher. The Eagles got one run back in the bottom of the fifth. Clare Minsker knocked a leadoff single and Skene drew a walk to put runners on first and second with nobody out. Gehrls got the next two Eagle batters to pop out, but Delaney Robeson drove in a run with a two-out infield single. Gehrls retired the next seven batters in order, while also driving in the Scots’ insurance run in the top of the seventh. Gehrls, Mitchell and Huyser had three hits each for the Scots in the bailgame. Hamp had two, and Cross and Siewertsen had one each. Gehrls was one of just four seniors on the roster this spring, joined by teammates DeGood, first baseman Lauren Vincent, and Shelby Jansens who got to come off the bench for a pinch-hit appearance in the champion­ ship game. “This program was in rough shape when I took it over. We started getting kids to believe in playing softball in Caledonia, because it was kind of a joke for a while there,” Kaechele said. “I had two seniors on that first team who went all four years and dence and was able to attack from there.” Gehrls wasn’t overpower­ ing for most of the day.

It was 14 innings, a three and a half hour game in regional semifinal and lost 2-1. That put us on the map. Sammie watched that game and said, I want to be there some day. She is here. She is a state champ.” Alexa went on to pitch for Saginaw Valley State University for four seasons. “It was a really long time ago, but she has been a huge role model for me and has been someone who has been my biggest supporter,” Samantha said. “She has really helped guide me a long the way and I've learned they won three games. They just proved to me that there was a work ethic in Caledonia that we didn't have. All of a sudden, we started getting kids who believed. That was our whole thing. If you believe, we can do it. 17 years later here we are, state champions. I believe.” It hasn't all been Kaechele and the high school program getting the job done. He gives a lot of credit to the Caledonia Chaos Fastpitch program, which was repre­ sented by a dozen girls on the Caledonia roster Saturday. “They started this thing a few years ago and got girls to believe in softball and play year round, play in the sum­ mers and get better, and we’re getting the benefits of that,” Kaechele said. We don't have all their girls ।on our team, but we’ve got a good nucleus and these two coaches from the Chaos program that help me out are phenomenal coaches and my assistant coach (Amanda 44 4 Continued next page f I I 1' ♦V I . 4 4 * a I 4 i / > p - < t I 4» ' I < / ♦ * 4 I ' > I I I • । r (4 t t * t 4 < 9 y 1 MV ! l I f r !

They fell 2-0 to Byron Center in the district semifinals in 2016 and then got bumped from the state tournament by OK Conference rival Red Grandville, 5-2, in the regional finals last spring. “We got a taste of it my freshman year and now to ...... ... ... f,nal|y be„ablf to seal the deal and finish it is just a huge deal for our communi­ ty, our family and our From previous page a lot from her and been able to apply that now is just huge.” Hudsonville proved to be a nemesis for the Fighting Scots for a while after that 2009 district championship.

While the senior foursome certainly leaves some holes in the roster with its gradua­ tion this spring, there will be a lot of girls coming back next season for a shot at a repeat. Mitchell, the team’s sophomore centerfielder joins Gehrls on the Division 1 All-State First Team this spring. Gehrls belted 13 home runs this season, just two more than Mitchell. Cross earned an honorable mention all-state nod too. The team's sophomore short­ stop, Hamp, can join DeGood and Julia Becker attempting to fill Gehrls’ role in the cir­ cle.

Americans spend a lot on their summer getaways - more than $100 billion in 2017 alone, as reported in Travel and Leisure magazine. When you hit the road, you will enjoy getting away from your reg­ ular tasks, but there’s one part of your life that should never take a break - your investments. To keep your investments working consistently and efficiently for you, consider these suggestions: • Match the right investment with the right “job.” You hire an electrician to install a light fixture, you employ a plumber to clear a clogged drain and you would not expect either one to work on the other’s proj­ ect. In a way, this view of a division of labor is similar to how you might look at dif­ ferent investments. In general, you purchase stocks with 5 the hope of achieving the growth necessary to help you meet long-term goals, such as a comfortable retirement. On the other hand, when you purchase certain fixed-rate investments such as certificates of deposit (CDs) or money market accounts, you know they won’t provide as much growth potential, but are available to fund a short­ term goal - such as a dream vacation. • Evaluate investments ’ 5736 8196 Broadmoor Ave. SE Phone: 616.891.0070 Caledonia, Ml 49316 Fax: 616.891.0430 Caledonia TOWNSHIP .

Some people think the only way to evaluate their investments’ performance is to track them against a wellknown market index, such as the S&P 500. However, using an index as a measur­ ing stick has some draw­ backs, one of which is the lack of a personal connection to your situation. Look at it this way: In many types of organizations, you typically go through performance reviews, where your work is assessed in terms of how well it helped you move toward your goals - and you can follow the same process your with investments. Specifically, you can mea­ sure their performance by how effective they are in helping you move toward your financial objectives. For example, if you need your portfolio to provide you with a certain rate of return to meet specific retirement goals at a designated age, but you find that you are not cur­ rently on track toward meet­ ing these goals, you may need to adjust your invest­ ment mix to potentially pro­ vide you with a higher return. Be aware, though, that seeking higher return potential will likely mean taking on more risk. You may want to consult with a financial professional to make sure you find a risk/ reward ratio suitable for your goals and risk tolerance, • Look for hard-working investments. Some investments work especially hard, Some stocks, or investments containing stocks, pay dividends. Instead of taking the dividends, you can choose to reinvest them, purchasing and even more shares increased share ownership is one key to helping build financial resources for the long term. Dividend reinvestment is typically auto­ matic, so once you have cho­ sen this option, there’s really no extra work on your part. (Keep in mind, though, that companies are not obligated to pay dividends, and they can be reduced or eliminated at any time.) r. In the investing arena, as in many endeavors, hard work can be rewarding. So look for opportunities to keep your investments gain­ fully employed throughout your life.

Caledonias beautiful oaks, aspens, ornamental trees, and even pines are under attack. Gypsy moths are back en force, hungrier and more destructive than last year Residents brought their concerns to the Caledonia Township board Wednesday, and the board discussed its options Hit especially hard has been 66th Street, an area that has been dubbed “ground zero’’ of Caledonias gypsy moth outbreak. As the weeks progressed, the situation became dire, residents told board members. Now, doz­ ens of oaks are stopped of their foliage. The ground is covered in measurable feces, constantly added to by the audible pattenng of new waste falling fmm the trees like rain. Houses appear speckled from the sheer volume of caterpillars amassed on sid­ ing. doors, and roofs. Leaf litter, leftovers from the voracious caterpillar’s feast, lays strewn about lawns. Generally, gypsy moth outbreaks occur on a sporad­ ic basis, long enough for trees to bounce back and frustrated property owners to regain composure. Last year, a significant gypsy moth out­ break was noticed by resi­ dents in Caledonia, who. thinking the invaders were a one-hit wonder, didn't initial­ ly report them. When they came back with a vengeance this spring, residents along 66th Street didn't taking it sitting down. They're just disgusting,” one speaker said. Virtually, our shade is gone,” said Anne Elve. Elve asked the township to consider hiring consultants for select spraying, especial­ ly on 66th Street. Cascade Township conducts regular spraying for gypsy moths within an established area noted for past infestations. Cascades' troubled spots are close to 66th Street, she noted. Kentwood, Wyoming, and other areas are spraying, as well. “Lots of areas are experi­ encing this problem,” Elve said. She requested Caledonia consult with surrounding townships about emulating or expanding their spray pro­ grams to include parts of Caledonia community espe­ cially hard-hit by the out­ break. “See if they could make a plan for next spring to head off what we re experiencing now,” Elve suggested. Caledonia s hasn't sprayed for gypsy moths in almost two decades, said treasurer Richard Robertson. Outbreaks were minimal or non-existent for most years. Economic reasons also bar the township from spraying with the frequency of its neighbors. Cities and town­ ships with spray programs enjoy much larger budgets •A PATIENTS <1 WE TREAT PHYSICALS YOU HERE SUNBURNS Discover convenient access to the care you need.

(Photo provided) than Caledonia Township, Robertson pointed out. When he started receiving complaints last year, Robertson started a file docu menting infestation locations. The file has grown substantially this year, cspecially along 66th .Street, “This year, it is worse, by any measure.” he said. But, with late detection and financial impediments. nothing can be done this late in the game. “There's nothing we can do this year to alleviate gypsy moths," Robertson said. “Spraying this year is not an option, as much as I'd like to say we can do that.” Prolonged drought condi­ tions over the past two years can be blamed for the year's subsequent outbreaks, said Robertson. During normal conditions, a fungus often kills enough of the moth's population to prevent it from becoming a nuisance. But with two consecutively dry years, the fungus has been slacking. According to Robertson, a healthy tree can survive three consecutive years of defolia­ tion. For some trees, this summer is their second being stripped of leaves, with many more being stripped for the first time. Residents feared what would happen to their beloved trees if continued outbreaks occur, Worse yet, the DNR has announced gypsy moth cater­ pillars are now feeding on crops, too, something 66th Street residents attested to seeing first-hand. Early detection allows a certain bacteria to be applied to the small caterpillar, which drastically reduces the risks of infestation. TTiis applica­ tion has to be completed early, however, and is useless on large caterpillars. Besides the bacteria, a naturally occurring fungus is the other defense. If persistent dry conditions stifle the savin fungus, toxic pesticides are the only other option, a contingency usually discouraged * even in the worst of infesta tions. Robertson did say a con­ sultant could be hired for the fall, with treatments against future infestations occurring next spring, Even so, containment may not be a possibility. Cascade sprayed 300 acres two years ago, Robertson said. Last year. 450 acres were sprayed. This year, it sprayed IJfX) acres, including areas treated in prior years. “I would question if spray in really does contain the spread of the gypsy moth," Robertson said. Even so. he did not dis­ credit the necessity of spray­ ing. Il would be even worse for Cascade if it hadn't sprayed, he conceded. There is a ray of hope. Gypsy moths have been munching away in Michigan for decades. If it was an unstoppable pandemic, there wouldn't be a single green leaf in the state, Robertson said. There arc natural ebbs and flows that eventually bring the dreaded caterpillar back in check. Still, the unpleasant reali­ ties of stark canopies and defecated sidewalks are enough for residents along 66th to push the needle for­ ward towards preventative treatment in the near future. *4 PUBLISHER’S NOTICE: All real e«aie nd»ertivnj in (hit nrwspiprr H V) the hair Hrming Act and the Miditpm Civil Right* Art which euilectivdy make ii die gal k> advertise “any pfdrfrncr limiutxm or diRcnmmation hated <mi race, ookw, rdipnc. an, handicap, familial statu*, national origin age « mantal ctaiut. or an intention, tr make any wth prrlcrrntr. limitation or diwnnunaiKin familial statu*, include* children under the age of IB h»mf w ith parent* or k-gal ctKlodiam. prejmarrt wfwnew and prtiplf learm; custody at children under IB This newspaper will not knowing) accept any advertising for real estate which h in viola* tnai of the law Our readrn arc hereby informed «fua all dwHIinp advertised in this nrw vpaprr art available on an equal opportunely basil To report diunmioation call the far Homing f enter at 6I64SI 29B6 The HUD urfl free ieiepkMK Mm- her f« the hearing impaired it I A00 927 927$ 4 ♦ 4 6 \\ J A 1 a f a * * 1 I 4 $ ♦ < 4 4 * �A k •i * ft U fl m\Ml h A wh u M \ V ■ V. y^ ft Uv If & \ � https://barrycountyhistoryportal.org/files/original/25/728/SunandNews_2018-06-30.pdf 3d592ce5c4e78ddb3b8302fa60e9f350 PDF Text Text • • The Sun and News I < Your Hometown Newspaper Serving Middleville and Caledonia Areas No. 26/June 30, 2018 :.oW Published by J-Ad Graphics, Inc. • 1351 N.

Finance director Sara DeVries presented the final budget amendment to end the 2017-18 fiscal year. She reported an increase in revenues of roughly $917,000 and a decrease in expendi­ tures of about $270,000, end­ ing the fiscal year with an increase of $792,000, of which about $300,000 will be reserved for the 2018-19 budget. The 2017-18 fiscal year will end with an esti­ mated fund balance of just over $10 million. As for the proposed bud­ get for the 2018-19 fiscal year, DeVries said the budget is based on estimated local property tax revenues, state aid, a projected 30-student approximate increase, foundations per-student funds increase of $124.

Area restaurants are getting in on the fun with their own “Red, White and Brew Bar and Restaurant Crawl” from noon to 3 p.m. There will be drink specials by Champs Bar and Grill, Riverdog Taven and Red's Sports Bar and Grill. There will also be food specials at The Broken Smoker and The Nook, Festivities move up to the Thomapple Kellogg school area around 4 p.m. with kickball games at Page Elementary going from 4 until about 7 p.m. Anyone wanting to play can just show up and be part of a team. Lions Club members will also offer free vision screen­ ing to children from 5 to 7 p.m. near the Page fields. Live music will entertain the crowds from 7 until about 10 p.m., when the fireworks display will start. Lions Club members said last year's event was so popular they decided to expand the festivities. They chose to do fireworks the night before the July 4 hoiiday and ultimately opted for the entire celebration to be held July 3 rather than July 4. Members recognize this might mean some people can't come to the daytime events and activities because they are still work­ ing, but they hope many people will be able to attend part of the festivities and especially enjoy the fire­ works. btelsM A .3112 Hn I tew □jIbI ti Ralph Keating, Keith DeVries, Lee Himebaugh, Rogers Gordon, Carl Thomson, Gordon Bent, Christopher Clay, John Mutschler, Jerry Duffey, Jerome Lukas.

Out of an abundance of caution, the Kent County Health Department and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Sen ices are recommending that peopie using the Thomapple River avoid swallowing foam floating on the water. This advisory was issued Friday afternoon after the MDHHS and KCHD received test results from the Michigan Department of Quality, Environmental Samples taken immediately downstream of the Cascade Dam June 6 reveal total PFAS amounts of 316.97 parts per trillion with PFOA at 2.41 ppt and PFOS at 197 ppt. Because of these high levels of PFAS, MDHHS and KCHD have concluded that swallowing the foam may pose a human health risk. Therefore, the two agencies are advising peopie to take precautions against swallowing the foam while using the river recreationally. Current sci­ ence suggests PFAS do not easily enter through the skin and would not pose a risk to human health. Residents who have health questions for MDHHS may call 800-6486742. Anyone with questions about the environmental investigation may call the DEQ. 800-662-9278. •’f V• if & .a Ilf A I BUDGET, continued from page 1 sible solutions to cover this gap. “The finance committee has given the go-ahead to bring this to the full board next month/’ said interim superintendent Dirk Weeldreyer.

Students are challenged to think out- fl* 0 4 side the box and come up with solutions to problems sometimes on the spot. The team took on a Buffalo Bill’s Wild Show theme, dis­ playing their problem-solv­ ing skills by designing and constructing a moving vehi­ cle. In keeping with the theme, they constructed a moving horse that met the required size specifications, performed specific tasks, and moved around obstacles.

Danny Briel found the name of his best friend. “We were neighbors. He was my best friend in high school,” Briel said as he looked at the name “Dennis Mead” engraved on the waJL “He (Mead] signed up for the draft before I did. I can’t help but think what all these people would have accom­ plished in their lives if they had lived,” said Briel. Brief said he remembers and he says he will never forget. He knows his name could have easily been among those engraved on the wall. Briel was drafted in 1967. While standing in line to join the Army and fulfill a dream of being a paratrooper like his father, he was pulled out of line to join the Marines instead. While en route to the war. Brief again got pulled from the transport plane he was on. He and five others were taken instead to Japan where they were needed to help weld and repair equipment. He didn’t know it at the time, but the move saved his life. Briel learned the trans­ port plane he had been on went down killing everyone on board. “I guess God had other plans for me,” said Briel. “I’m thankful my name isn’t on this wall.

It’s part of our national heritage «»* and it’s an honor to serve, said White. Don Boysen, former owner of the Sun and News, sat back and took a long look at the expanse of names spread on the engraved pan­ els across the parking lot. “It’s a horrible reminder,” said Boysen. “All these young men never had a life to live or families to have.” Gene Wake, who served from 1953 to 1955, said see­ ing the wall is such a solemn tribute. “It’s just hard to imagine that many men died in that war,” he said. Sue Rietman found the name of her Thornapple Kellogg High School classmate, Rogers Gordon, and rubbed a pencil over a paper to take home a rubbing from the wall. • “He was our class presi- stories and memories people are sharing and remembering as they visit the wall.

It's really something.” Bill White also served in Vietnam in 1967 through 1968. “It’s just memories. I can't express my feelings,” said White as he wiped away tears. “It’s very moving - the whole thing.” White was especially looking for a Caledonia classmate. Ralph Keating. He found the name engraved on one of the panels and rubbed his finger lightly across the etching. “It means something. All these guys- all these names on the wall — were young people who died for this Visitors inspect the panels on the 360-foot long wall bearing more than 58,000 names of men and women killed in Vietnam.

This cel­ ebration may get you think­ ing of the many freedoms you enjoy. But have you thought of what you might need to do to attain financial freedom? Your first step is to define what financial independence signifies to you. For many people, it means being able to retire when they want to, and to enjoy a comfortable retirement lifestyle. So, if this is your vision as well, consider taking these steps: • Pay yourselffirst. 1 f you wait until you have some extra money “lying around” before you invest for retire­ ment, you may never get around to doing it. Instead, pay yourself first. This actu­ ally is not that hard to do, especially if you have a 401(k) or other employ er-sponsored retirement plan, because your contributions are taken directly from your paycheck, before you even have the chance to spend the money. You can set up a sim­ ilar arrangement with an IRA by having automatic contri­ butions taken directly from your checking or savings account. • Invest your means. A second pot­ hole comes in the form of large, unexpected short-term costs, such as a major home or auto repair or a medical bill not fully covered by insurance. To avoid dipping into your long-term invest­ ments to pay for these short­ term costs, try to build an emergency fund containing six months' months’ to a year's year’s worth of living expenses, with the money kept in a liquid, lowrisk account, J**! i'U’ ent, but still acceptable. financial freedom. And by working a couple of extra years or paying less for your vacation home expenses, you may also improve your over­ all financial picture, Putting these and other moves to work can help you keep moving toward your important goals. When you eventually reach your own Independence “Financial Day,” it may not warrant a fireworks display - but it should certainly add some sparkle to your life, • Give yourself some wig­ gle room. If you decide that to achieve financial indepen­ dence, you must retire at 62 or you must buy a vacation home by the beach, you may feel disappointed if you fall short of these goals. But if you're prepared to accept some flexibility in your plans - perhaps you can work until 65 or just rent a vacation home for the summer - you may be able to earn a difler- J* I Work toward your own financial independence day *5^ *5^ d«~ i* This article was written by Edward Jones for use bv your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor. * ________ Call 269-945-9554 for Sun & News classified ads IB i..

Your investment decisions should be guided by your time horizon, risk tolerance and retirement goals. If you deviate from these guide­ posts - for instance, by tak­ ing on either too much or too little risk - you may end up making decisions that aren’t right for you and that may set you back as you pursue your financial independence. • Avoid financial 'pot­ holes. ” The road to financial liberty will always be marked with potholes you should avoid. One such pot­ hole is debt - the higher your debt burden, the less you can invest for your retirement.

Here are a few sugges­ tions: • Are my goals still realistic? When you first began working with your financial advisor, you may well have articulated a number of financial goals. For example, you might have said that you wanted to pay for most of your children’s college edu­ cations, or that you wanted to retire at a certain age, or that you wanted to travel for two months each year during your retirement. In fact, you could have many different goals for which you’re sav­ ing and investing. When you meet with your financial advisor, you’ll certainly want to ask if you’re still on track toward meeting these goals. If you are, you can continue with the financial strategies you’ve been following; but if you aren’t, you may need to adjust them. • Am I taking on too much - or too little - risk?

The main action item discussed at Tuesday’s meeting was the new proposal for propane service. Proposals have been received from three companies. More research will be completed before making a decision on a propane provider. The motion was tabled. Also on the docket was Barry County United Way’s upcoming Day of Caring. Projects were discussed for volunteer help needed around the township.

I didn't know any of the people whose names were there - didn't even recognize any of the names I read. It didn't matter, though, whether I knew them or not. They were all young men, and a few women, who gave their lives for something we take for granted every day here in the United States our freedom and our way of life. The Middleville Lions Club took on the daunting challenge of raising $10,000 to bring the wall to Middleville in hopes of teaching younger generations about Vietnam, letting older residents remember, and hon­ oring all those who served. I was too young to remem­ ber much about the fighting in Vietnam in the late 1960s. It’s hard to imagine what those soldiers went through. Many were drafted right out of high school or shortly after. They didn’t have a choice - they were called to serve and they did so because they loved their country. Unfortunately, they weren’t treated with the respect they deserved when they got home. I’ve heard stories where the men returning home were warned not to wear their military uniforms after they got off the plane or they would be spit on and booed in the airports, greeted with hate and ridicule. What a shame. II! person having an interest in the real prop­ erty appears and protests the special assess­ ment at the hearing held for the purpose of confirming the roll. Michigan Tax Tribunal P.O. Box 30232 Lansing, Michigan 48909 TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that the special assessment roll as prepared has been report­ ed to the Township Board and is on file with the Township Clerk for public examination or inspection.

As I visited the memorial on three separate occasions while in Middleville last week, I watched people as they stared at the names. Some - like me - knew none of the names on the wall. Some knew nothing at all about Vietnam. The wall visitors who really caught my attention were those who stood and reflect­ ed a long time staring at just one name, or making a pencil rubbing of the engraved name as a final keepsake of the person who was their friend, son, brother, uncle, or nephew. I could tell in each of those people there was a sense of sadness - a sense of wishing it could have all been handied differently in so many ways. Many of those people had stories to share and I was glad to listen even as some fought desperately to hold back their tears. 1 have two sons of my own - both now at the age of so many of those men listed on the wall. It makes me appre­ ciate all the parents and fam­ ilies who sat and anxiously waited for the next letter or phone♦ call from their sons and daughters, Even though the names were unfamiliar to me personally, the dedication and service of each of those sol­ diers to this country will for­ ever be remembered. Thank you Middleville Lions Club for bringing this traveling history to our community. It’s something I’ll never forget.

We were walking around the Toronto Zoo and [the director] said, ‘We should do this every other year.’ So, we’ve been to New York, Connecticut, Wisconsin, Orlando, New Orleans, and now Hawaii.” Twenty-five Strike mem­ bers traveled to Hawaii, along with 10 parents who served as chaperones, and other family members. Students paid for the trip partially through fundraisers. The group presents three major concerts each year, Raaymakers said. A November performance is the free Concert for Children with Special Needs. A con­ cert in March and is about an hour long and has a $5 admission. The third concert, in June, is a two-hour show with a $10 admission charge, The students sell tickets, and 50 percent of what they make goes to Strike for instrument repair, tuning and similar espenses. The other 50 percent goes in to their accounts. So, they get accounts and get to raise money over the years that can go towards these trips,” he said Two of the students who took the trip, Camden Davis and Kathryn Lemon, are both Travel Strike performers, as well. Davis and Lemon also traveled with the group to (4 New Orleans two years ago. Davis said he favored the Hawaii trip over New Orleans. “I don’t know, the beignets [a New Orleans pastry] were good ... but that weath­ er,’’ he said of Hawaii. Davis and Lemon have been members of Strike for seven years, the first three in Mini Strike. Mini Strike is the middle school program, and Davis and Lemon joined that in sixth grade. Lemon said Raaymakers is the reason she joined the ensemble. “Seeing what he does every day, he’d show us the instruments and I’d be think­ ing, ‘I want to try that. It looks like fun.’ Starting in sixth grade, it just hooked me. I don’t know, I love the sound of it. I love the atmosphere, we are all friends.” Lemon and Davis worked their way up to the rank of Strike instructors. Lemon achieved a Level 6 rating, the highest rank. “It was a pretty moving moment, too, I have to say,’’ Raaymakers said. “She had to give a full recital and per­ form five solos in front of everyone on stage, by herself.” “It was the most nerve-wracking time I’ve ever had,” Lemon recalled. “But once you get out there, you just get lost in the music, Strike Travelers enjoy a visit to the Polynesian Cultural Center.

All of the travel was coordi­ nated and arranged by Bennett Travel of Hastings, which specializes in taking groups, often school bands and choirs, on organized trips. “Jeff Bennett is a retired band director; he was actual­ ly my band director,” Raaymakers said. “He set this whole thing up.” Bennett Travel tour con­ sultant Patti LaJoye, a retired Hastings choir director, accompanied the group as tour guide. “I was so impressed with this group,” LaJoye said. “The parents, the kids and everyone were so great. I was so impressed with what a team they are. There were no glitches. Everything just clicked.” The students performed two shows in Oahu. “Our first performance we played at Pearl Harbor,” HELP WANTED Noahs Pet Cemetary & Pet Crematary, Inc. is looking for an outgoing, compassionate and reliable person to assist in crematory and occasional driving for pick-up and deliveries.

The stage was right in the middle, and everyone was looking down. Everyone really liked it a lot. It was a good .way to end my Strike experience. I 11 definitely remember it for a long time.” The group also had plenty of time for sightseeing.

Staff Writer Caledonia High School student, Baylee DeVos, and her friend, Blake Johnson, shared a unique prom expe­ rience this year. De Vos wore a beautiful Victorian style gown, embellished with roses and delicate hand-cut sleeves. Johnson wore a formal suit, decorated with roses that complement­ ed DeVos’ dress. What was unusual about their attire however, was the fact that everything the couple wore, including DeVos' jewelry, hairpiece, corsage, purse and even French manicure was made entirely of duct tape. De Vos and Johnson's style creations were part of a nationwide scholarship con­ test, “Stuck at Prom, The contest, sponsored by Duck Brand, was open to all prom-goers 14 years and older. With the grand prize, a $10,000 scholarship at stake, participants are required to construct a gown or tuxedo using noth­ ing but Duck Brand tape. In June, DeVos and Johnson were notified that they were finalists. The final round of the competition, in which the winner of the scholarship is chosen, is voted on and decided exclu­ sively by online voters. De Vos and Johnson said they were overwhelmed by how friends, family, local, nation­ al and even international community members rallied to spread the word and vote for them. The votes paid off — on July 10, De Vos learned she was the winner of the $10,000 scholarship. “‘Stuck at Prom' has been something I have had my eye on for many years, so to win is just unbelievable," said De Vos. “ It has been such an honor to compete with other Duck Tape designs that are incredible and to be featured next to those that I’ve admired for so long.” The project took 24 rolls of duct tape and 86 hours over a 4 month period to DeVos said it complete. 59 Baylee DeVos and Blake Johnson show off their winning creations. kwe ~ pa B*. mb m — «BB < . ► c » WM ** E MB Wtsttrn n II II II Ul II II n The Caledonia Main Street Merchants *★ Ci «:< *< II II II II II ii ii ii ii ii ii II II H , u II . n ir » are rounding up a hearty H ii R II II II It 11 II II •• * •f % O V ii 11 11 >*A , -!•' I* II II n i» ■*r < 11 H — e* I! | II II II n <1 11 II i I Mi <**■ I {j^ ss 4 <*< * 5 Z" i r V *- —* w * J*1 ■» / WT [ * S'9 r. ** ** 1 for another successfu I S3 M •* (1 <1 M U Western Week •4*- .

The tape trapped sweat and heat in and I couldn't actually move my upper body or raise my arms " DeVos said she will use the scholarship funds to pur­ sue a career in graphic design, “I have made a commit­ ment not to take out student loans and 1 am beyond thrilled that this scholarship will cover the first year for me to attend Ferris State University, my number one college choice, or even pur­ chase a car if I jump in to design work immediately." De Vos credits God and the community with her win. “God opened opportunities all along the way without which I never could have participated," De Vos said. “I know without a doubt that this blessing is from Him and that makes it all the more special. “The 'Stuck at Prom’ scholarship contest is defi­ nitely something that I would recommend to others," con­ cluded De Vos. “I know that I personally grew a lot in problem solving, creativity and communication skills through the process of designing, creating and advertising my own project, Finalist status and prize money aside, it was incredibly rewarding and a unique way to make prom memora­ ble.” ■■■ • • • • * I ¥ V I 4 ♦ I i A » ■ ■a JI j-v "* <• -w- — I �< t n TK A’s for Excellence winners announced Financial Thornapple Center and Money Concepts announced its winners for the second semester A’s for Excellence drawing.

The bat was presented to the Kent County Health Department by residents who found the animal in their home. KCHD sent the bat to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services for testing. This is the first positive Kent County case this year. More than 25 bats from Kent County have tested negative in 2018, according to a July 12 press release. In 2017, there were two bats tested that were positive for the disease, according to MDHHS. MDHHS issued a news release July 2 urging Michiganders to protect their families and pets from rabies after noting an uptick in the number of bats test­ ing positive for rabies when compared to the same time period in 2017. Any direct contact with a bat represents a potential exposure to rabies. It is crit- ically important to capture the bat for testing if there is reason to believe a person may have been bitten or scratched by a bat. Do not release a bat if it is found in the room of a sleeping person, an unattended child, someone who is mentally impaired or an intoxicated individual as they may have been bitten without their knowledge Captured bats in Kent County will be sent to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services for testing. If the bat tests negative for rabies, no treatment is required, However, if a bat tests positive, or if the bat is not available for testing, the exposed person should receive the post-exposure prophylaxis for rabies, To safely capture a bat, experts recommend indi­ viduals wear leather gloves to avoid being bitten. They should place a box or a cof­ fee can over the bat and then slide a piece of cardboard under the container to trap the bat inside. The box or can should be secured with a piece of tape, and the individual should call the Kent County Health Department, 616-632-7200 during regular business hours. “Bat encounters rise every year during warmer months,” said Adam London, administrative health officer at KCHD. “We can't stress enough how important it is to be able to perform tests on these animals. Unless you are certain that no one has been bitten by a bat you find in your home, please do not let it go.” Anyone who has been bitten or scratched by a bat outside of nonnal business hours should seek medical attention but keep the bat. While relatively rare in the United States, human cases of rabies are almost always associated with bats. Rabies is a viral dis ease that affects the central nervous system and is invariably fatal once symp­ toms appear. Any interested person may attend the public hearing to offer comments to the Planning Commission. A copy of the application is available for inspection at the Village office, 100 E. Main St., during regular business hours, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Written comments concerning this application may be sent to 100 E. Main Street, P.O. Box 69, Middleville, MI 49333. Persons with special needs who wish to attend should contact the Village Clerk no less than 72 hours prior to the public hearings.

Board president, Marcy White, expressed apprecia­ tion to outgoing interim superintendent Dirk Weeldreyer. “We simply can’t thank you enough,” White said. “We are thrilled that you’ll be here until the end of the imoD nsquZ liruM oorioz ;bnoM FC»" mqqn buod ife io I linsM elioxo otTto r ririw iq bfljs litosm ' redto // jxon ffl oirrfW noil laqiiz bbW/ a uoy s W/ red od 44 month, that we have a transi­ tion period with both of you being here. You were the right person at the right time to really step in and help bridge a lot of gaps for us. We were thrilled that you came to join us, and we hope that you leave with a happy heart of what Caledonia is, so thank you very much.” “It’s been a wonderful moment in my career,” Weeldreyer said. “I appreci­ ate this opportunity, Caledonia is a tremendously special place with tremen­ dously special people, I think the future looks so bright. You have an out­ standing superintendent who is going to lead the way, and I think the best years are coming soon, and 1 look for­ ward to watching them.” In other business, the board approved a resolution calling for an election for the Nov. 6, ballot. Any resident or current board member Superintendent Dr. Dedrick Martin chats with board president Marcy White planning to run for a board seat must file with Kent County by July 24. The term for a board seat is six years. The other aspect of the election will be incorpora­ tion of a previously discussed resolution to request a twoyear, 1.5- mill authorization for a non-homestead millage to offset the Headlee Rollback. “We will have a rollout plan and a communication plan so we can share this with key communicators, share it with internal staff movers, as well as people in the community so that they are well educated on our need for it and what it does for us,” Martin said. Details will be discussed at a later date.

Vander Hoff presented an alternate plan that would work with the existing consent judgement. This plan, for multi-family homes would include 26 duplexes and one single family home. After a lengthly exchange, the board agreed to review the consent agreement for further discussion. In other business, Treasurer, Richard Robertson brought up the Hanover town-homes construction agreement. “This agreement relates to u share, in part the cost of off-setting the water main within the development that’s required for our system over and above what the development itself would require.” Robertson said. According to Robertson, this has been a common prac­ tice w'ith other development projects in the past, Township engineer, Todd Boerman estimated the cost to the township would be $150,000 to $200,000. The board agreed with the concept, though it was not comfortable approving the agreement without legal review. A motion was made to accept the agreement with the condition that it first go under review of the township attor­ ney. A vote ensued and the motion was approved. in’ fl r4 ^5 Interim superindentent Dirk Weeldreyer enjoys a warm send-off by board and staff members, including (from left) Weeldryer, Marcy White, Michele Zoet and Sara DeVries $ Caledonia chamber to sponsor DEBUT, continued from page 1-------operations and office support provide them with a livable by 1.5 percent per year.

After a 15-month pregnan­ cy, Ginger, the newest giraffe at the park, gave birth to a healthy male calf July 8, the first giraffe to be bom at the park. According to zoo director Josh Baker, the bouncing baby giraffe weighed 110 pounds and measured 6-feet in length at birth. “Unfortunately, the moth­ er was an inexperienced mom." related Baker. “She was not taking care of the baby, so we have been. He drinks about two pints of milk every four hours, around the clock. So far, he is very healthy.” The park did not announce the birth to the public until Wednesday. The spindly-legged calf Jim and Jennifer Sprague will be celebrating their 50th anniversary on July 27. They were united in marriage on July 27, 1968 at Ann Arbor, Mich.

The 11 -year-old Caledonia youth is showing as a 4-H member for the second year. His father, Scott, watched him show from the bleachers a year ago, but this year was watching from Heaven. After being diagnosed with a brain tumor in April 2017, Scott Hilton died Monday at the beginning of fair week. Simon’s uncle and aunt, Howard and Beth Hilton, said Simon had told them he believed his father was ready to go with Jesus so he would be able to watch his son show his animals at the fair from Heaven. Since Scott Hilton’s death, the Barry County 4-H com­ munity has rallied around the young boy, showing support and encouragement and helping in any way they can. Beth Hilton said the 4-H community has wrapped their arms around Simon and the family. “No matter what we need, there are people here to help,” she said. “I don’t even have to ask.” Several 4-H members have offered help and more importantly, support, for Simon, as well. “Kids he doesn’t even know come and tell him how happy they are for him after * - » * 4 1 fM L (7 * Simon Hilton, 11, of Caledonia, holds awards he won Thursday just days after his father’s death. he won,” she said.

And even more cheers sounded when Simon’s feeder calf was selected as the reserve champion. “This is all like one big family for him,” Howard Hilton said. “It’s a communi­ ty, and we all help each other. There are a lot of really good people here, and they’ve sur­ rounded our family to help us get through this.” He said it was extremely important for his brother to make sure Simon competed at the fair, even though he knew his health was failing fast. Scott Hilton had been with hospice support since May. “People who don’t even know us or know him really, are reaching out. It’s a big family all the way around, and itit helps, helps,”” Beth Beth Hilton Hilton and said.

They also showed at fair this week. “There’s nothing like this fair and this community,” Beth Hilton said. “It’s the people here who will just help anyone. That’s what makes this all so good. The fair this week has been a beatufiul distraction for Simon, and we appreciate everyone’s help so much.” As soon as Simon got out of the show arena Thursday, he handed his uncle the lead rope on his feeder calf and ran over to collect a John Deere hat from a family member standing just outside the fence waiting. It’s not just any John Deere hat - it belonged to his dad. “He’s been wearing that hat all week,” Howard Hilton said. “He sleeps with it. He takes it everywhere. It means a lot to him. “This was important to his dad - that Simon be at fair this year, no matter what,” he said. “And we know he’s watching.” IIFBW SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY Denied Benefits?

Featuring specialty brews, hard ciders, wine and mead from 24 of Michigan’s best craft brewer­ ies, BrewFest will offer something for everyone. Hickory Comers.

FINANCIAL FOCUS Provided by Andrew McFadden and Jeffrey Westra of Edward Jones ft What should you do with an inherited IRA? Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) are quite popular. At the end of 2017, investors owned nearly $9 trillion in IRA assets, accord­ ing to the Investment Company Institute, a trade association of U.S. invest­ ment companies. Given these numbers, it probably numbers. wouldn't be surprising if you inherited an someday* ®^t what should you do with it? First of all, you'll need to be aw are of some basic rules. If your parent, or anyone other than your spouse, leaves you a traditional IRA - one in which contributions are typically tax-deductible and earnings can grow tax-deferred - you can transfer the money into an “inherited IRA,” from which you'll need to take at least a minimum amount of money technically called a “distri bution" - each year, based on your life expectancy. These distributions are taxable at your regular income tax rate. If you’ve inherited a ^°th IRA. you also must take lhcse minimum payouts, but the amounts won't count as taxable income, because your parents, or whoever left you the IRA. already paid taxes on the contributions that went into it. (To make sure you fully understand all •» the guidelines on distribu distnbu-­ lions and taxation of inherited IRAs, consult with your tax advisor.) It's also important to understand how your inherit ed IRA will fit in to your overall financial strategy, Consequently, you'll need to address these questions: • How much should I take out each 9year? As mentioned above, you must take a dis­ tribution of al least a mini­ mum amount from your inherited IRA each year - if you don't, you may be sub­ ject to a 50% penalty on the amount you should have taken. But you can take out more than the minimum. In deciding how' much to lake, you'll need to evaluate a few factors. First, of course, is whether you need the extra money to help support your regular cash flow. Il's possi­ ble you have other pools of income from which to draw, and, in some cases, it may be advantageous for you to tap these sources first. Another consideration is taxes - if you've inherited a traditional IRA, the more you take out each year, the bigger your tax bill may be. • Should 1 keep the same investments? Inheriting an IRA doesn't mean you're stuck with the original account owner's investment choices. You can change the investments to align with your goals and risk toler­ ance. both of which may change over lime. • How does the inherited IRA fit in with my overall financial strategy^ _ ’ You'll need to consider how' your new ly inherited IRA fits in to the “big picture” of your financial strategy. Are you adding redundancies? If you keep the inherited IRA largely intact, how will it affect your current investment mix? Could the added income from required distributions change your retirement calculations or even enable you to retire earlier? You may want to consult with a financial professional about these and other ques lions related to your inherit ed IRA. The person who left you an IRA worked hard for that money and thought enough of you to pass it on. Consequently, you'll want to respect this inheritance - and get the most out of it for as long as you can.

A total of 284,920 partici­ pants competed in MHSAAsponsored sports this past school year, up 0.46 percent from 2016-17 - and despite a 1 percent drop in enrollment at member schools durin; that time. The overall MHSAA participation totals count students once for each sport in which they partici­ pate, meaning students who are multiple-sport athletes are counted more than once. Girls participation rose for the third straight year to 121349 participants, up 1.2 percent from 2016-17 and despite a 1.1 percent enroll­ ment drop over the last year. Boys participation fell to participants. 163,571 participants, a decrease of less than a tenth of a percent from the previ­ ous year - and much smaller than the boys enrollment decrease of nearly a full per­ cent. Girls lacrosse has set a participation record every season since becoming a sponsored tournament sport in 2005, and did so this spring with 2,900 partici­ pants - a 3.1 percent increase from a year ago. Boys lacrosse also set a record for the second year in a row, up 1.1 percent with 5,168 partic­ ipants. Both boys and girls bowling broke records previ­ ously set in 2015-16 - boys bowling participation I I ;i I Jill Tit in i increased 8.4 percent over 2016-17 with 4,136 participants, while girls bowling was up 4.5 percent with 3,058 athletes. Also setting a record in 2017-18 was boys cross country, which saw record participation for the second straight season last fall with 9,656 runners (an increase of 2.6 percent). The largest percentage increase in participation this school year came in girls gymnastics, which jumped 10.4 percent with 702 ath­ letes - its most since 2011­ 12. Girls golf also enjoyed a notable increase, up 4.2 per­ cent to 3,712 athletes - its highest participation total since 2007-08. Six sports total saw increases in participation on both the girls and boys’ sides. In addition to bowling and lacrosse, girls cross country joined the record-setting boys with a 2.4 percent increase. ’Girls and boys swimming & diving both enjoyed increases for the sec­ ond straight year, this time both by 2.4 percent. Girls tennis was up 2.3 percent to its highest total (9,123) since 2012-13, and boys tennis participation increased by one percent. Boys track & field (1.5 percent) increased for the third straight year, while girls track & field (1.6 percent) was up for the sec­ ond consecutive. Volleyball led participation among tgirls sports with 19,416 participants, up 1.8 percent from 2016-17. Other sports to see increases in 2017-18 were girls skiing, up 2.8 percent as participation increased for the second straight season; boys basket- ball, up a half percent; and girls soccer, which had four more athletes this spring than during the 2017 season. Also of note in this year's vear’s survey: • The increase in participa­ tion for 18 sports during 2017-18 was compared to an increase in 16 sports for 2016- 17 and 15 sports in 2015-16. • Of 10 sports that saw decreases in participation in 2017- 18, five were down less than a percent. Competitive cheer had five fewer athletes but 6,715 j./ij total, uadi, and a.iu there were were Ithree fewer boys golfers to take that total to 2267. Boys skiing was down six athletes total to 831, while boys soccer was down 11 athletes and girls softball down 31 - both less than a quarter of a percent off their 2016-17 totals. • Football experienced a much smaller decrease in participation last season than it had from 2015-16 to 201617, falling only 1.9 percent to 37,002 athletes - still the most participating in any sport by more than 13,000 athletes. The combined num­ ber of 11 and 8-player varsity teams sponsored by MHSAA schools last fall remained constant compared to recent seasons, although a shift of some programs from 11 -play­ er to 8-player continued. The participation figures are gathered annually from MHSAA member schools to . submit to the National Federation of State High School Associations for compiling of its national participation survey.

Hall made plans in April to sign his National Letter of Intent to join the Midland Warriors wrestling team after a solid senior season with the Thomapple Kellogg varsity wrestling team last winter. Hall went 22-15 as a senior, finishing as the OK Gold Conference runner-up at 119 pounds at the close of the season. He showed enough in his only varsity season at TK to draw the eye of the Midland coaches through an online recruiting website. Hall had hoped to play a part in the varsity line-up as a junior during the 2016-17 season, but his brother AJ who was a freshman at the time got to wrestle more varsity matches than Steeda that season. After a wood shop acci­ dent, Steeda had to have the top of his left ring finger amputated during the opening weeks of the 2016-17 »• b ‘j ► season. “I thought after what happened I wasn’t going to be able to wrestle anymore. I was happy when I was able to get back on the mat,” Steeda said. “It was terrible. I went to most of the home meets and a few of the away meets and that kind of stuff. I went to most of the practices and then I had to go to physical therapy at that time.” “I had to completely change pretty much the way I wrestle. I had to go from the left side to the right side and that kind of stuff. M Steeda Hall, TK grad Physical therapy was to improve his grip strength in the hand, and get strength back in the shoulder and arm muscles which had been lim­ ited following the injury. He wrestled with a glove on his left hand during his senior season. He said it helped with sensitivity and Steeda Hall (top) wrestlers for the Thornapple Kellogg varsity team with a glove on his left hand during the 2018 OK Gold Conference Championship Tournament in Middleville in February.

The DDA was housed in the village offices, but space became crowded, and the DDA representatives decided it was time to set up their own office space. They’re renting the building that many people in the village still remember as housing The Scoop" ice cream store at 124 E. Main St. The space is large enough for the DDA offices, an incu­ bator coffee shop business, a small storefront for local vendors, and a place to find information about Middleville and Barry County. DDA coordinator Mike Schmidt said renovations are coming along nicely and he and DDA event coordinator Olivia Blocher have been working out of the back office already.

The store front is called “Barry'd Treasures.’’ The vendors can rent a 10by-10-foot space to display their homemade goods or provide information about services. Along with the Barry’d Treasures store, the former restaurant also will have space for an incubator busi­ ness, Left Field Cafe on Main. The owner currently has a coffee shop in Woodland and hopes Middleville will be a second successful site. The idea of an incubator business space is to give a small startup business a space to rent for reduced cost to help the business get start­ ed. “The hope is that they do so well, they'll need to look for a larger space somewhere else in the village or want to buy the whole building here," Schmidt said. Another key part of the project is providing space for different organizations and other Barry County municipalities to provide informa- (6 LjCflVz niotni IbbiM hfiuoD ao inuioZ nimoo Cl ban sivilO li^iovz oorfto Middleville DDA coordinator Mike Schmidt with DDA event coordinator Olivia Blocher stand outside the new DDA offices on Main Street in the village. tion. A wall in the building will be dedicated to offering brochures, pamphlets, and other information from all over the county. “It’s kind of a mini-form of what the chamber does," Schmidt said. “We re the gateway to Barry County, and we want to offer visibili­ ty for all of Barry County. People will be able to get information about Charlton Park here or any of the other municipalities who want to have information here."

I JCJ. > ♦ Barry County Fair loses ‘great man’ and leader morning, He left a legacy to Barry County and helped in many ways shape the Barry County Fair into what it is today. His death came as a shock as word spread quickly around the fairgrounds during the final day of the fair. “I was just with him Friday night watching it rain," said current fair board president Dennis Redman. “He was here every day this week." Redman said Geukes' knowledge about the fair and his commitment to 4-H will be greatly missed. “He taught all of us who are on the fair board now what to do and how to run the fair. He had a lot of pas­ sion for the fair," Redman said. “He is going to be missed greatly. I can’t even think what fair is going to be like without him here." Don and his wife, Janet, especially loved watching their grandchildren show at the fair, and Saturday Don was planning to watch two of his five grandchildren com­ pete in the show of champi­ ons. • Geukes was always inter­ ested in making the fair a great experience for youth, and he was quoted in a 2012 Reminder article. “Seeing the kids enjoy the fair makes it Don Geukes is joined by his sister-in-law Marcia all worth while,” he said of Schondelmayer (left) and his wife, Janet, when Geukes the countless hours spent Fair with his family and friends.

In his early years, Geukes showed beef cattle and sheep and paid for his college education raising and selling calves. He had both the champion and reserve champion steer at the 1957 fair. When asked how he would describe Don Geukes to oth­ ers, without hesitation Tobias answered, “Super.

He is going to be missed a lot." Geukes, who would have turned 78 Tuesday, served on the fair board since at least 1987. He was president of the fair board and instrumentai in helping make the deci­ sion to move the fair from the downtown location to the 160-acre site on M-37 north of town. The fair officially moved in 1990 to the new site. In an interview after receiving the Liberty Bell Award, Geukes said he was proud of the decision to rmove the fairgrounds ~~ ' to the“ X 1 I A t < 4 I I A Don Geukes new site. “That was a big job," he said in the interview. “We knew we had to rebuild the fairgrounds. We are part of the community, besides put­ ting on the fair each year." He saw the vision for the Expo Center and fairgrounds to be used for much more than just the one-week fair. The Expo Center has become home to many community events, tournaments and pri­ vate events, such as wedding and graduation parties, antique shows, horse shows and more. Ron Tobias served with Geukes on the fair board for more than 20 years. He and Geukes spent time together Friday night at the fair. ““He He told told me me he he hadn't hadn't been to the grandstand yet this year, and he wanted to 4 । X i r t i I �y Page 2/The Sun and News, Saturday, July 28, 2018 GEUKES, continued from page 1 F A 17-year-old Don Geukes has the senior grand champion and grand champion Don and Janet Geukes are surrounded by family members as Don receives the Angus steer at the 1957 Barry County Fair.

If anyone ever had a question, they went to Don.” Even Geukes’ professional career was intertwined with the fair. He owned and operated Geukes Market in Middleville from the mid1970s until he closed the business in 2013 and sold the land to neighboring Bradford White Corporation. He was the third generation of the Geukes family to operate the business, which started in Middleville in 1929. Geukes Market regularly supported 4-H members at the fair by purchasing sever­ al animals. Although the fair was a lifelong passion, Geukes also was involved in many other community events. He and Janet supplied a survivor meal at the Barry County Relay for Life Event for years and were part of the Taste of Barry County and Taste of Middleville events. He was a dedicated member of the Leighton Church, attended mission trips and taught Sunday school. For all his community work and efforts at the Barry County Fair, Geukes was recognized with several hon­ ors, including the 1988 Barry County Fair meritorious ser­ vice award (along with his father, Chester) a 1995 Michigan Meat Association Outstanding Service Award, 1995 Barry County Livestock Developmental Committee Award for outstanding contribution to the Barry County livestock program, and the 2016 Barry County Liberty Bell Award.

He got to go to the sale and out to the grandstand demolition derby Friday night,” Tobias said. “He wanted to do that, 1 “We’re all going to miss him very much,” he added. “Nobody will really realize how much he did for the fair until next year when he’s not there to answer all the ques­ tions. He was a great friend.” Redman agreed. “I can’t even imagine what it’s going to be like at fair next year without him here. It will definitely be different. We’ve lost a great man.” The family will host a memorial service at 3 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 19, at the Barry County Expo Center with Pastor David McBride offici­ ating. A celebration of life with food and fellowship will follow from 4 to 6 p.m. Private burial will take place at Mt. Hope Cemetery in Middleville.

Otto received a delivery of 11,750 baby turkeys, or poults, July 14. “We raise the Nicholas breed of turkeys,” Otto said. “They come from hatcheries in Iowa, Ohio and even Canada.” Otto receives seven such deliveries per year, begin­ ning in December, with the last delivery in August. Spreading out the deliver­ ies means the turkeys age at different rates, so as Thanksgiving approaches, Otto can offer holiday tur­ keys in a variety of sizes and weights. The farm processes approximately 20,000 tur­ keys per year, with 11,000 to 12,000 for Thanksgiving, alone, he said. The others are purchased by area restau­ rants and meat markets or processed into a variety of food items and sold in Otto’s farm store. Twenty thousand turkeys go through a massive amount of food. “Free food all the time, Otto said; “they eat their fill each day. If you have a flock of say, 12,000 adult turkeys, we could go through as much as 10,000 pounds of feed per day.” The farm was established in 1846, and has grown along improvements with in machinery and technology, as well as consumer demand. Otto grows his own non-genetically modified corn, which he combines with a concentrated soybean mix for feed. Like others, he said he is thankful for the recent rains, since drought is a major threat to crop yields and ultimately feed produc­ tion. He goes to great lengths to care for his birds and keep them healthy, even sterilizing his footwear before entering the barns. “We are an antibiotic-free farm,” he said, “So the chailenge is, if a turkey becomes sick, our treatment options are limited. We do try natural remedies; however, some­ times that is not enough and we do lose some turkeys.” Otto is currently grooming his son Nate to step into the role of sixth generation Otto Turkey Farmer. .

Alden, executive director of the LBC group, which operates as part of the Barry Community Foundation, heads a program that has trained more than 4f)0 indi viduals since 1990 in the basics and the fine points of community leadership. A proposal to contract with the county for leadership training of current and prospcclive members of the 26 advisory committees and boards was met with questions and opposition last week, along with a less than enthusiastic 4-2 vote to recommend it for approval this week. Concerned and protracted discussion continued Tuesday, in spite of a 20-minutc meeting break to make last-minute changes to a revised proposal before call­ ing the vote. “Previous language stated that we'd measure the suc­ cess of the training by achieving 100 percent partic­ ipation," Alden opened. referring to last week’s biggest objection, that of mandatory participation by all current and prospective com­ mittee members. “We’ve now tweaked that language to say that, beginning in 2019, certain elected and appointed officials, as deter­ mined by the board of com missioners, will be offered the opportunity to participate in the w orkshop and written materials, as well " The ’tweak’ still did not avoid a 20-minule discus­ sion. almost all of which was observed by a silent Alden standing at the lectern, “Commissioner [Vivian] Conner and commissioner [Jon] Smelker had voted against the proposal m committee [last week) because the language said 100 per­ board chair Ben cent Geiger said, “but 100 percent is not our intent, it's our goal, goal. “We all received a letter from from former former commissioner commissioner [Craig] [Craig] Stolsonburg S to Ison burg expressexpressing his opposition to requirmg training for everybody, and he implored us to look at other options. He also had concerns about how it would affect our recruitment. But this is just one small part of our whole appointment reform strategy, and recruit menl and retention is some­ thing that this training will help." Slolsonburg's letter termed the training proposal “anoth­ er political nightmare," sug gesting instead that individu­ al boards and committees train each of their appointees and and volunteers, volunteers, especially especially since since ““most most of of them them have have paid personnel who can administer this function," referencin Charlton Park, •» * % 91!

He gave a quick tap to the touch pad in lane one as the time continued to roll on the scoreboard following the opening heat of the mixed 8-and-under 25-yard free­ style race. Moments later, the meet was off and rolling again. “There are still some glitches,” Schaaf, the long time Hastings timing official, said later. “There are still some software glitches. The software doesn’t handle a 25-yard race properly yet. It handles standard 50-yard races, and multiples of 50, but the 25-yard races you have to fool it. You have to tell the timer it is a 50-yard race, then it works. If it is an odd number of laps then it won’t stop the timer when they touch the pad. “It’s kind of like beta soft­ ware. We are either the first or the second in the state to have this Gen7 timing systern. We are also one of the first in the nation I think to have it as well.” The Hammerheads’ club meet was the first competi­ tive meet in the Hastings Community Education and Recreation Center pool to utilize the new state-of-theart timing system, and to get to show off the new score­ board, donor board and record board all completed.

MHSAA provides heat management training and reminders As summer activities wind down with an eye toward the beginning of fall sports next month, the Michigan High School Athletic Association advises that student-athletes need to prepare for training in the hot weather that tradi­ tionally accompanies the beginning of August and the first practices of the school year. Each year, the MHSAA provides information to its member schools to help them prepare for hot weather prac­ tice and game conditions during the late summer and early fall. Football practice can begin at MHSAA schools August 6, followed by first practices for all other fall sports August 8. The topic of heat-related injuries receives a lot of attention at this time of year, especially when deaths at the professional, collegiate and interscholastic levels of sport occur, and especially since they are preventable in most cases with the proper precau­ tions. “This month’s high tem­ peratures across much of Michigan served as a reminder that we all must take a role in making sure our stu­ dent-athletes are ready for hot weather as practices get underway,” said John E. “Jack” Roberts, executive director of the MHSAA. “At the start of every fall, we point out that with proper precautions and planning, heat illness is almost always preventable. It is imperative that we continue to empha­ size this message and teach the best practices for staying safe both to our returning student-athletes and those taking part for the first time.” Heat, hydration and acclimatization continue to be focuses of the MHSAA’s required preseason rules meetings for coaches and officials. The online presentations discuss the need for good hydration in sports, regardless of the activity or time of year, and informs both how to recognize the early signs of heat illness and the immediate steps to take to respond to those symptoms. The MHSAA requires all head varsity, varsity assistant and subvarsity coaches at the high school level to complete the rules and risk minimization meeting requirement. The first days of formal practices in hot weather should be more for heat acclimatization than the conditioning of athletes, and practices in such conditions need planning to become longer and more strenuous over a gradual progression of time. Schools also must consider moving practices to dif- ferent locations or different times of day, or change prac­ tice plans to include different activities depending on the conditions. Furthermore, football practice rules allow for only helmets to be worn during the first two days, only shoulder pads to be added on the third and fourth days, and full pads to not be worn until the fifth day of team practice. Roberts also emphasized that student-athletes should make sure to hydrate all day long - beginning before practice, continuing during and also after practice is done. Water and properly-formulated sports drinks are the best choices for hydration, while energy drinks, high-carbohydrate fruit juices (greater than eight percent carb content), carbonated and caffeinated beverages are among those that should be avoided. The Health & Safety” page of the MHSAA Website has a number of links to various publications and information including recommendations on proper hydration from the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS). A number of member schools follow the MHS AA’s Model Policy for Managing Heat Humidity, which while not mandated for 46 member schools was adopted as a rule for MHSAA post­ season competition in 2013. The plan directs schools to begin monitoring the heat index at the activity site once the air temperature reaches 80 degrees, and provides rec­ ommendations when the heat index reaches certain points, including ceasing activities when it rises above 104 degrees. (When the temperature is below 80 degrees, there is no combination of heat and humidity that will result in a need to curtail activity.) The model heat and humidity policy is outlined in a number of places on the MHSAA website. to PUBLISHER’S NOTICE: All real estate advertising in this newspaper is subject to the Fair Housing Act and the Michigan Civil Rights Act which collectively make it ille­ gal to advertise “any preference, limitation or discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, national origin, age or marital status, or an intention, to make any such preference, limitation or discrimination."

Upon retiring, many peo­ ple relocate to enjoy a more favorable climate, or to be closer to grown children, or to live in an area they've vis­ ited and enjoyed. If you, too, are thinking of moving someday, you’ll want to study possible locations, but you also need to be aware that where you eventually decide to live can greatly affect your savings and investment strategies - both now and during your retire­ ment. Here are some relocation costs to consider: • Housing - Not surpris­ ingly, the larger the city, the more expensive the housing is likely to be. Also, loca- 1 Kt 'S’ ’"Wk S S’ is tions near an ocean or the mountains tend to be more costly. But the type of housing you select - house, apart­ ment or condominium - also can affect your financial pic­ ture in terms of initial expense, maintenance and possible tax benefits. Plus, you can now find newer types of arrangements, such as senior cooperative housing, in which you own a share of the community and have a voice in how it’s run. • Health care - If you are 65 or older when you retire, you’ll have Medicare to cover some of your health care costs, though you’ll still likely need to purchase some type of supplemental cover- DOBBIN'S !HIw ACOeico COMPLETE AUTO SERVICE CENTER Now offering factory dealer computer programing for I 5i* T"1" GM Our Diagnostic Computer Software Is Compatible With All Makes fe Models t fcs d -T, *3! 945-0191 fe 'Hi Im?

However, out-of-pocket health care expenses may vary in different parts of the country, so this is something else you'll want to check out before relocating. Of course, the availability of good medical facilities may be just as important to you as health care costs. • Taxes - You may hear about people moving to a different state to lower their tax burden during retirement. A few states don’t have per­ sonal state income taxes, and many others offer favorable tax breaks on retirement income, so, if taxes are a major concern, you'll want to research the tax situation of prospective retirement locations. You may also want to consult with your tax advisorThese aren’t all the areas you will need to consider when estimating your total cost of living in a retirement destination, but they should give you a good idea of what you can expect. And your choice of where to live as a retiree can affect your finan­ cial strategy in at least two ways: how you invest today and how much you can with­ draw from your retirement accounts when you’re retired. Regarding how you invest today, you should evaluate whether your current invest­ ment strategy is likely to pro­ duce the resources needed to support you adequately in the retirement location you've chosen. So, for example, if you think you’re going to live in a fairly expensive place, you may need to reduce your expenses, delay retirement or work part time. Your choice of a retire­ ment destination also may affect how much money you withdraw each year from your 401 (k) and IRA. When choosing an appropriate withdrawal rate, you'll need to consider other variables your age, the amount of money in your retirement accounts, other available assets, etc. - but your cost of living will be a key factor. A financial professional can help you determine the with­ drawal rate that's right for you. When you retire, it can be a great feeling to live where you want, but you'll enjoy it more if you're fully aware of the costs involved - and the financial steps you'll need to take.

All three were sent questionnaires. Spencer did not respond. Gene Hall, age 72; mar­ ried 44 years, four children Why did you decide to run for trustee of Rutland Charter Township? I grew up in Hastings in a house on Algonquin Lake. A graduation in 1966, I joined the military. My wife and I lived in various places, but when I retired, though we could have chosen anywhere in the world to live, we moved back here to Rutland Township. By then, I had already decided to get involved in local government and that’s what I did. With a strong military and business background, I feel I bring a lot of value and experience with me. I want to contribute to this wonderful community Curt Cybulski in any way I can. How do you feel about the fire millage? In short, it’s very important and necessary.

We are a rural residential communi­ ty and to maintain the rural feel, we must consider each project and option carefully, Rutland Township has fantastic industrial partners that put great value on the natural resources around us and plan carefully to keep our envi­ ronment healthy and vital. We should continue doing the same. Curt Cybulski, age 56; married 26 years, two chil­ dren Why did you decide to run for Rutland Charter Township Board trustee? I’ve lived in Rutland for 18 years. It's a great place, and 1 want to be a part of making it better. I ’ ve felt like that about every place I’ve lived. My family and friends all know this about me and really encouraged me to run. I’m not doing this for me. It’s not about what I want and need. It’s about what my children want and need. What skills and experi ence do you feel you bring to the table? I’ve been a Realtor for over 10 years and have a lot of experience deal­ ing with property sales, transfers and purchases and also the positives and nega­ tives of most locations. My skills are are aa big big asset asset when when skills working on development projects and community development as a whole. I’m willing to do what it takes to serve the community. My friends, neighbors and every other resident of Rutland Township mean something to me. I’ve been on the cable access committee, community development committee and was vice chair of the parks and recreation commit­ tee. I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty, How do you feel about the fire millage? I believe we need it, and it’s a fair proposal. The township board has always taken care of the residents by asking only for what was needed by lowering the tax rate, They've done this for many years. But there comes a time when the support for safety and emergency services, like maintaining the fire depart­ ment contract, is needed from the community. If elected, what are the top two areas you will focus on? Much like everyone else, I’m not happy with the roads. I’d like to take a closer look at that and address the infrastructure of Rutland, Another top issue is broad­ band. Rural communities absolutely need to have it. It’s not simply a luxury any­ more. It's a necessity for our children’s education and for the growth of businesses. I realize these are areas already being looked at. I just want to be able to add my knowledge, skills and experience to finding a resolution. Broadband will definitely be on my agenda. What do you see for the future of Rutland Township? We are rural and want to keep the rural way of life, but development is coming. How we deal with the development will determine the direction of our commu­ nity. We want growth but in a controlled way. We need to make sure we’re positioned for the development coming in order to protect all the great amenities here, like the hiking trails and all the beau tiful natural resources.

Live music, food and refreshments abound as attendance numbers increase. As growth often produces growing pains, Bay Pointe Inn is experiencing its own uneasiness as it enlarges its grounds. Construction has begun on the expansion of Bay Pointe Woods bringing a temporary parking issue. Auxiliary parking for the inn had, for years, been on Oarie Drive, but that parking area is now the site of the new expan­ sion. Reluctantly, parking needs to take place on Marsh Road for the remainder of the summer. Mike Powers, owner of Bay Pointe Inn, performed his due diligence ahead of time and was pre-approved for the parking by clearing the plan with township supervisor Tom Rook, Barry County director of planning and zoning Jim McManus, county road commission officials and the sheriff’s department. To help ease the customer's parkin g expertence and maintain safety on Marsh Road, Bay Pointe is AIRSTRIP, continued from page 1 existing strip, saying they landings, According to Galloway, frighten the horses and pose a danger to her clients. these improvements will Scheltema formed a group, greatly assist with noise and Leighton improve safety. ‘Friends of There would be a limit of Township,’ which consists of nearby residents who oppose four homesites on the proper­ ty.

Powers said. “That's a total of 20 hours in the next five weeks that will cause an issue,” he said. The expansion will provide a 10,000 square-foot venue for weddings and corporate events with 10 new’ cottage-style hotel suites. An estimated 185 new parking spots will be put in after con­ struction is finished, thus alleviating the parking prob­ lem. Until the Gun Lake Live series is over, patrons are asked to park along Marsh Road in the right of way space and off of the road completely, without blocking driveways.

After the July 25 perfor­ mance by Brena, which drew a record crowd, several homeowners on Marsh Road voiced concern about the parking issue, saying safety and privacy were not being taken into consideration. Some doubted the legality of the parking arrangements. Tow nship supervisor Rook communicated with Brad Lamberg of the Barry County Road Commission and addressed the concerns of the homeowners. Lamberg replied with an explanation of parking laws in Michigan, saying it is illegal to park on the travelled portion of the roadway, but is fully legal on the right of way outside the white line. This week's concert did not elicit any parking prob­ lems. Powers said he has taken every precaution to make sure parking in this manner is legal and as pain­ less as possible for his patrons. “We don't want to park our customers on the side of the road,” Powers said. “It is ♦ t i i I i t ♦ > I f J J I'd I < I I t • ( 1 > I I 1 I L > t 4 T I < I / I I I I �t/1' I didate to a questionnaire sup­ plied to the Sun and News follow: Larry Knowles, 57 I Occupation: director of and Jeffrey Westra of Edward Jones the Gun Lake Area Sewer and Water Authority Michael Boysen, 59 Other elected, volunteer, Occupation: project managerat New Holland Brewing community involvement Other elected, volunteer, experience: Yankee Springs If you're a single woman, but all the evidence points to you’ll also want to explore Zoning most of your financial chal­ women being the ones who college savings vehicles, community involvement Certified 2013-17, Administrator experience: N/A Administrator 2U 13-17, lenges and aspirations may take time off from work to such as a 529 plan, Why are you seeking this Yankee Springs Board of • Educate yourself about resemble those of single care for loved ones.

A crew of three firefight­ ers has taken a DNR fire engine to help fight the vast and still raging Carr fire in northern California, said Dan Laux, fire section manager for the DNR’s Forest Resources Division. Laux just returned from a twoweek fire assignment in Portland, Ore., marshaling resources to battle fires in Oregon, Washington, California and Idaho. “We’re mobilizing as many people as we can to assist wherever necessary,” Laux said in a press release Wednesday. “It’s a great way for our folks to get experi­ ence, while providing their own skills and experiences to the situation at hand." Assistance agreements go both ways. If a significant fire occurs in Michigan, fire­ fighters from other states and Canadian provinces can be tapped for help. Michigan’s largest recent fire was the Duck Lake blaze in the east­ ern Upper Peninsula, which burned more than 21,000 acres in 2012. Since the beginning of the year, Michigan has sent fire- rtf <y 6 $ r* r ,r A DNR firefighter snapped this shot of a helicopter in action earlier this summer on assignment assisting firefighters in Colorado. DNR firefighters are currently helping fight wildland fires in several western states. (Photo provided) California, fighters to Florida, Colorado, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Washington and Wyoming. The Carr fire in northern California has burned more than 100,000 acres to date, and caused six deaths. Fire officials there put out a national request last week for wildland fire engines from across the nation, and a three-man crew took a Michigan truck from the DNR’s Gladwin unit to California. The DNR always keeps enough firefighters in the state to respond to any fires that might occur, though fire activity has slowed after recent rains in the northern portion of the state. The DNR also is fully reimbursed for the cost of sending fire­ fighters to assist elsewhere.

Shortly before Neeson died April 30 at age 70, he learned he had been named Volunteer of the Year by the National Elks Association. “I am so glad I was able to give him the wonderful news before he passed,” said Alma Czinder, Hastings Elks mem­ ber. She said Neeson’s response was, “You’re kid­ ding me.” Those attending the event included grandson Brock Neeson, Elks member and state coordinator for the National Veterans Service Ruth Hall, Michigan Elks president Stan Chubinski and Elks 2nd vice president Jerry Alexie. Hall was the first to speak about Neeson's accomplishments and lifelong contributions to his community, which included serving in the Vietnam War. As a soldier, he earned several medals, including air, machine gun, campaign medals and the Purple Heart. He also earned the Code of Conduct medal before receiving an honorable discharge in October 1968.

I hope we can realize that we are all Americans first, and you can disagree with your neighbors on their political views and still be great friends, Joyce Snow-R Age: 65 Why are you seeking this position? I found that I have a true passion for serving my community, and am at a point in my life where I can devote the time necessary to fulfill the responsibilities this posi­ tion requires. There were initiatives started when I was on the board in 2013-15 that I feel have been neglected. I would like to have the opportunity to return to the board to help move these initiatives forward. Some are addressed in the answers to the following questions. My record of serving with honesty, open­ ness, and integrity without personal or political considerations will be an asset to the board. What education or expe­ rience do you have that qualifies you for this posi tion? I have a bachelor’s degree in human resources, a master’s in organizational management, and served as chair and vice-chair of the Barry County Board of Commissioners. I also served on most of the internal boards and commissions as well as other organizations in various positions. I understand the budget process and have been responsible for budgets in exess of $14 million. My diverse employment which includes municipalities, agri­ culture, manufacturing, education, business ownership, non-profit and workforce development, along with the ability to research, listen to the public and use commons sense, provides me with a foundation to understand issues from more than one perspective. If elected, what, if any, changes would you make? The facilities plan developed in 2014-15 included Fall 2018 implementation of a finance plan to replace the jail and COA buildings. This needs to be addressed. I would also like to reconsider late aftemoon/evening meet­ ings of the BOC to offer opportunity for more com­ munity participation. Currently, we are in a health district with Eaton County and, while these two counties were demographically simi­ lar in the 1940s when BEDHD was formed, we are very dissimilar now. A restructure of the health department, to sharing a health officer with another county or having a stand­ alone department, are two options. What do you view as the biggest concerns facing Barry County? What would you do to meet those challenges? Addressing the need for a new jail and adequate space for the COA are big concerns, Restructuring the Barry Eaton District Eaton District Health Department will require less space and it can be moved to the Friend of the Court build­ ing. The FOC can move to the Courts and Law Building (where MSU used to be), and the COA can occupy the cur­ rent BEDHD building. This will increase efficiencies and will save hundreds of thousands sands of of dollars dollars on on operating, operating, repair, and and maintenance maintenance costs costs repair, for the jail and COA, as well as reduce the $100,000 cost of mileage paid this year by the BEDHD. Barry County has dis­ cussed facility expansions/ renovations. What is your stance on a new jail? On a new Commission on Aging building? We need to build a new jail. Structural and phys­ ical conditions in the current jail could contribute to potential liability for the county. Our current jail wouldn’t even pass present code. Funding options including a millage or issuance of debt should be investigated. Regarding COA, we should do our due diligence and explore the suggestions above. There may need to be an addition built onto the current health department building to accommodate the expanding day care and meals programs for the CO A, but utilizing what is avail­ able is my first choice. Who is/was your political hero/mentor/model? My father, Carroll Newton, who served Barry County and the State of Michigan in several capacities is my hero, mentor and model. He and my mom taught my siblings and me the value of service, honesty, and hard work, They were members of the “Greatest Generation” whose members risked everything to preserve our Constitution and offer the next generation a better life. iZ1 vl District 4 (A portion of Carlton Township; Irving Township; Thornapple Thomapple TownshipPrecinct 2; Rutland Charter Township-Precinct 2) Jon Smelker-R Age: 68 Why are you seeking this position?

I have assist­ ed several schools and municipalities in restructur­ ing in order to avoid have a state-appointed emergency manager take control. If elected, what, if any, changes would you make? I would like to increase accessibility of our government to the residents of Barry County. We need to have better communication and participation from our residents. So, I would work to offer meeting times and town hall meetings at varying times to allow for more people to participate and share their ideas. I would also work to be more inclusive of all of our residents in an effort to end all of the fighting. These legal fights cost lots of money and in the end everyone loses. I believe that it is time to end the fight­ ing and move forward. What do you view as the biggest concerns facing Barry County? What would you do to meet those challenges? The biggest concem facing Barry County is our failing infrastructure and the lack of funds being set aside to rebuild our infrastructure. As our population grows the strain on our existing infrastructure continues to grow as well. We need to get ahead of this. Today, we have failing dams and flood­ ing on Crooked Lake. There is no safety net put in place when these tragic things hap­ pen. We need to start build­ ing a plan to address this aging infrastructure which includes rebuilding existing dams, roads, bridges, etc. and setting aside fund for trage­ dies like the flooding on Crooked Lake, Barry County has discussed facility expansions/ renovations. What is your stance on a new jail? On a new Commission on Aging building? The population of Barry County continues to grow. I believe it is essential that we address this growth and get ahead of it now. We have needed a jail for many years and it is just now that we are beginning to talk about a plan for addressing this need. I also believe that we need to increase accessi­ bility of senior services in our communities. A new Commission on Aging build­ ing will help us meet those needs and the needs of our growing communities. Who is/was your political hero/mentor/model? Franklin Delano Roosevelt Sr. led us through the Great Depression and believed government should make opportunities for its people, and these opportunities would create prosperity of our country. He implemented the New Deal which consist­ ed of many programs like the Social Security Administration,, the Farm ISecurity Administration, and ' : National Industrial the Recovery Act. These programs focused on providing relief to the poor and elderly, recovery of the economic system, and reform of the financial system.

Lippert Wayland 4 Michigan J Why every angler and boater needs this map LOST STREAM MAP The STREAM & LAKE MAP OF MICHIGAN resembles another mapknown to Pennsylvania anglers as the ‘Lost Stream Map. It was completed in 1965 after a 30 year effort by Howard Higbee, a former Penn State Professor. Professor Higbee painstakingly plotted by hand, the location of 45,000 miles of streams onto the map. It sold extremely well - until the printer declared bankruptcy and hauled Higbee's work to the landfill. But reprints were impossible because the maps were printed in non-photographic blue. Higbee was even offered S400 for one of his last maps. And state agencies were forced to keep their copies under lock and key. Then, at the age of 91, Howard Higbee's dream came true. Computers made it possible to reprint the map. Then the STREAM & LAKE MAP OF MICHIGAN was created. n Professor Higbee's* Stream & Lake Map of Michigan is the first and only highly detailed map of its kind.

All other sports previously had had switched switched from from classes classes to to divisions, While most fall sports face at least minor rules changes this season, a few of the most noticeable adjustments in fall sports will come in football, volleyball, boys soccer and girls swimming & diving. In an effort to improve football pace of play by reducing re-kicks after a or scrimmage kick (generally kickoffs or punts, respectively), an option has been added allowing the receiving team to accept a penalty and tack on the awarded yardage to the spot where the kick or punt return ended. This option incentivizes the receiving team to forgo a re-kick, re-kick, and and joins joins three three other other options options after after aa penalty penalty on on the the kicking team. The receiving team also may continue to accept a penalty from the previous spot and have the kicking kicking team team re-kick; re-kick; and and on on kickoffs that travel out of bounds, the receiving team may continue to accept the ball and begin possession 25 yards from where the kickoff occurred occurred or or decline decline the the penpen­ “ alty and- -begin possession। where the kick flew out of bounds. Additionally for football, players who fail to properly wear required equipment or are missing required equip­ ment during a down shall be replaced for one down rather than incur a yardage penalty. Previously, a penalty was assessed for delay of game in this scenario. If a player’s proper or legal equipment has become improperly worn through use and prompt repair is possible and does not cause a delay in game, that repair may be made without the player being replaced for the next down, A change in volleyball will allow teams to substitute for an injured/ill player prior to a replay; previously a replay would take place with no changes on the floor after the point was originally con­ tested, Also in volleyball, with an eye on risk minimization, teams will be allowed to warm-up between sets only in their playing area and may not hit volleyballs over the net into the opponents’ play­ ing area. For soccer - both boys this fall and girls in the spring teams may continue to play up to two multi-team events every season, but beginning Middleville tyke wins Precious Baby Contest Winners have been announced in Barry County Right to Life’s Precious Baby Contest, which was held during the Barry County fair.

Teams also may continue to play multi-team events with 30-minute halves and no more than 180 min­ utes total in one day (for example, three games with 30-minute halves) and call it just one contest of the 18. Another significant soccer change w ill switch the home team to wearing the dark uniform and the away team to wearing the white uni­ form. The change was made to allow home teams to wear their school colors - it does not require teams to purchase new uniforms, but only switches which team wears dark and which wears white. Also for soccer, a change has been made to the penalty when a player is whistled for denying the other team an obvious goal-scoring oppor­ tunity. If a player, in the penalty area, commits an infraction while attempting to play the ball, and that infraction results in a penalty kick, that offending player will receive a yellow card previously this would have been a red card. If the player is not attempting to play the ball when an infraction is called in the penalty area that results in a penalty kick, the offending player still will s k®^ Natalie Lydy gUSKIRK IjJMBER receive a red card along w ith the opposing team being awarded the penalty kick. In swimming <k diving regular-season competition, a pair of changes will pro­ vide more opportunities for divers. The diving event in dual, double-dual or other multi-team non-champion­ ship competition has been limited to six dives, but now may be expanded to an 11-dive competition ~ giving divers another opportunity to prepare for the 11-dive com­ petitions at the MHSAA Qualification Meets and Finals levels. Also, while diving traditionally has been placed in the middle of the event order of a dual or other regular-season meet, it may now be conducted first, last or simultaneously with the swimming events. (Both require prior mutual consent by competing teams and offi­ cials.) Also in swimming & div­ ing, visible 16.4-yard (or L5-meter) marks must be made visible on both sides of the pool deck to assist swim­ mers during competition.

A 30-year-old Delton woman was sentenced recently to two days in jail after her child, a first grader, missed 56 days of school last year without excuse. In fact, the child missed 10 days by Oct. 7 and 51 days by January. The woman will also serve one year on probation as an added incentive for her to make sure her child attends school. She’s not the only parent being brought to court, either. Two more cases are pending in Barry County District Court regarding school truancy. “You have to send your kids to school. If you don’t, it’s a crime,” Schipper said. “And if it gets to me, I will give jail time.” State law requires a parent or legal guardian to send a child between the ages of 6 and 16 to school during the entire year, except under lim­ ited specified circumstances. Truancy is a misdemeanor in Michigan and is punishable by between two and 90 days in jail. “Children have to attend school. It’s the law, and if parents aren’t making sure their child attends, they’re breaking the law,” said Barry County prosecuting attorney Julie Nakfoor. Truancy has always been an issue in schools, but gen­ erally thought of more with older students in high school who skip out, often without even parents knowing. But court officials said there is a growing concern lately for younger students who simply aren’t getting to school with no valid excuse. Nakfoor said a group of school and law officials started getting together to see what could be done about truancy concerns. Since the group started meeting, she said, these cases have been coming to light more and more. “The goal was to figure out ways to combat truancy,” Nakfoor said. “These are cases that have been hanging out there and we’re all final­ ly cracking down. It just takes a while.” Many school districts in the county are tightening their truancy policies to * certain ' students ' make are in school unless there is a valid reason for them to be home ।or away. By the time a case :reaches Schipper’s court, multiple attempts have been made by the school district and the prosecutor to work out solutions with the families. In the Delton woman’s case, she received at least four letters from the school district and numerous phone calls inquiring if there was a problem, asking if she need­ ed assistance, and letting her know school administrators were concerned about the child missing so many days. “These were not threaten­ ing letters, at all,” Schipper said, — 'A. “The schools were reaching out to find out if there were ways they could VILLAGE help. That’s what they really wanted to do - not end up in court. That’s the last resort.” Nakfoor agreed. “The goal is not to bring these people to court,” she said. “The goal is just to get them to get their kids to school. But if it takes bringing them to court and charging them, that’s what we will do.” She also noted ; County has many resources available to assist in trans­ portation, if needed, as well as other needs of a family. “There are no excuses for not having your child educated,” she said. “There are so many resources out there to help.” Schipper said it’s extreme­ ly difficult for young children to catch up when they’ve missed multiple days, days. “In this one case, this child missed a third of the school year for no reason,” he said, He promised if a valid truancy case gets to his court and has no legitimate defense, he will impose jail time, fines and/or probation ~ 1he -------as sees° fit. In the case of the Delton mother, Schipper said nothing really phased her until he told her he was going to impose jail time. “If that’s what it takes, .n i_happen,„ that’s what ..will Schipper said, The woman argued she was getting ready to move to a different school district.

During comments from members, the council VanGessel expressed concems about bicycle safety on village roads. “We’ve got to get the bik­ ers to abide by the street laws.” VanGessel said. He said he has witnessed numerous bicyclists running stop signs. “I see an accident waiting to happen. To the extent that you can, just remind the bikers you know that they are just like a car when on a public street and they are acting anything but like a car on the streets.” Council members also stated that drivers should be extra diligent with schools opening soon, watching for pedestrians and stopping for buses flashing their lights.

Knowing that the high school soccer players were only a few days into their season, he asked David Botwinski, Scott Evans and Tommy Piccione to try a lit­ tle “dipsy doo.” The trio from the Class of 1995 did show off some fine ball skills on the attack, but it was the more recent alumni who led the scoring for the Alumni team that earned a 4-2 win over the current high school soccer players. Neither of the former var­ sity head coaches guiding the alumni got too technical, Coach Larry Jachim reminded the alumni that the goals for the game were to keep the ball out of the net on one end and put it in the net at the other. The elder statesmen of the alumni group were Brian Baughman from the Class of 1994 and Brett Bremer from the Class of 1996. A handful of 2018 TK graduates partic­ ipated in the contest.

Being the co-president of her 4-H group the past few years has helped her become a stronger leader, mentor to our younger members, as well as, as, establish life moments and friendships that will last a lifetime.

Despite the District level decreases, football remained the the highest-drawing highest-drawing toumatoumament sport sponsored by the MHSAA, with 352,946 fans attending during the 2017 Playoffs including 60,435 combined for the 11 and 8-Player Finals - the most at that level of the tournament since the 2009 season. The MHSAA added a second division of 8-player playoffs last fall; however, that additional championship game contributed only a small amount to the overall 68-percent increase in attendance from the 2016 Finals. Boys Basketball drew the second-most fans in 2017-18 -311,494 - keyed in part by a 5-percent increase at the level. Girls Regional Basketball remained the most highly attended girls sport with 158*546 fans including 104,243 at the District level, the sec­ ond-highest total at that level of the tournament since 2009-10. Volleyball was the second-highest attended girls sport this past school year, with 105,414 fans making for an overall increase of nearly 3 percent from the 2016-17 tournament - with increases in attendance enjoyed at the District, Regional, Quarterfinal and Finals levels. Two more girls sports saw increased attendance in 2017-18. Girls Swimming Diving enjoyed increases at both the Diving Qualification and MHSAA Finals levels for a total of 4,946 fans - a 7-percent increase from 2016-17. Girls Gymnastics also enjoyed increased attendance at both levels of its postseason for a grand total of 2*314 fans - the most for that sport since 2002-03 and an increase of 7 percent as well from the previous season. Two more sports also set MHSAA Finals records. The Two sports repeated in setting postseason attendance records during the 2017-18 school year, as 1,390,590 total fans attended Michigan High School Athletic Association postseason com­ petitions for which atten­ dance is recorded. The MHSAA Bowling includin Tournament - including Regionals and Finals for !4 iris and boys, set an atten­ dance record for the seventh consecutive season this past winter with 14,422 fans. Boys lacrosse, which also begins postseason play at the Regional level, set a record for the second straight sea­ son this spring with 12,759 fans - including a record 7,344 for Regional games. The MHSAA annually tracks attendance for all sports except golf, skiing and tennis - for which admission typically is not charged. The 2017-18 grand total of just under 1.4 million fans was a decrease of 6.8 percent from 2016-17. However, a couple of circumstances like­ ly factored into the majority of that decline. The first two weeks of 11-player football playoffs generally are among the highest-drawing events every school year - and last year’s saw a 19 percent decrease from 2016-17, as Pre-District games were played in unsea­ sonably frigid weather across the Lower Peninsula and District Finals were played amid storms in many parts of the state. Also, the Individual Wrestling Finals saw a 33 percent decrease in atten­ dance after moving to Ford Field in Detroit from its pre­ vious home at The Palace of Aubum Hills. However, that decrease is misleading; the event went from three days and five sessions (with tickets required for each session) at The Palace to a two-day, three-session event at Ford Field. The average atten­ dance per session this past Softball Finals, held in conjunction with the Baseball Finals at Michigan State University, drew 6,860 fans to set a record for the second straight season (and baseball drew its most Finals fans since the 2006 season). The Team Wrestling Finals - contended for the first time at Wings Event Center in Kalamazoo enjoyed a 19-percent increase from 2016-17 with an audience of 9,469 fans that broke the record set at the conclusion of the 2004-05 season. Although girls lacrosse saw a slight dip in overall attendance to 5,538 fans this spring, that total still was the third-highest since the MHSAA began sponsoring a postseason tournament for the sport in 2004-05. Boys Soccer Districts drew 15,438 fans, fans, the sport's fourth straight increase at that level and the most to watch Districts since 2008-09. The Girls & Boys Cross Country Finals drew 10,445 fans, an increase of nearly 3 percent and the highest total in six seasons. • New Cotton Flannel, Calicos, 1 < : Christmas Prints 1 X Think Holiday Gifts T?

The fundraising event at Saskatoon Golf Club raised more than $2,500 toward college scholarships.

Shelley Erb is a retired TK elementary teacher. The Above and Beyond Award is given to honor someone in the district who does more than expected to help stu­ dents. Mark Sharpe is this year’s recipient. Normally, he said, he’s part of the review com­ mittee making the decision about who gets the award. He didn’t think much of it when he wasn’t included this year until he was given the honor. “I was very surprised,” said Sharpe. “I had no idea really.” This is Sharpe's 13th year at TKHS teaching social studies and economics. About 12 years ago, at the urging of a group of students, start the he helped Action Environmental Council. “The kids were upset that we weren’t doing any recy­ cling. So we started recy­ cling programs here for bot­ tles and paper. We’ve added the bottle water filling sta­ tions and have paper recy­ cling bins in the classrooms,” experience in front of a class­ room was all it took and he changed to a teaching degree. Sharpe got married about a year ago and recently he and his wife had their first child. When he’s not busy with school, or now taking care of his young son, he loves to be outside hiking, camping, kayaking, and playing disc golf. Nominations for the Shelley Erb Above and Beyond Award are made by TK teachers and staff. Sharpe said it makes the award even Middleville village president Charlie Pullen rides in the Hastings Summerfest Grand more special because it comes -idirectly from his Parade Saturday, Aug. 25. Pullen, who has received numerous honors for his com­ munity and military service, was recently named the Senior Citizen of the Year by the peers.

Thornapple Kellogg High School teacher Mark Sharpe said Sharpe. He continues to lead the student organization as they’ve branched out to other projects including a peace pole, lending library, and planting flowers in Freeport. He’s also helped coach the TKHS Science Olympiad team for several years. Teaching wasn't always on Sharpe’s radar. While attending Michigan State University for mechanical engineering initially, Sharpe got on opportunity to teach a class in 3D modeling. The iot)2 Strong and meaningful leadership is crucial to that community’s success, which is why the Barry County Chamber of Commerce serves as the host organiza­ tion for the Athena program. Part of Barry County's Athena program is the annual fall leadership luncheon and nomination kick-off event, which will be Friday, Sept. 7, at noon in the Walldorff Ballroom in downtown Hastings. The Athena Leadership Model, developed through a grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, identifies eight distinct attributes that are reflective of women's contri­ butions to leadership: living authentically, learning con­ stantly, advocating fiercely, acting courageously, foster­ ing collaboration, building relationships, giving back and celebrating. “It is important to identify and cultivate the attributes of the Athena Leadership Model in our community,” said Lani Forbes, executive director of the Barry County United Way and the inaugural Barry •"1 1 « host Amanda Radio Hildabrand will be the guest speaker of the Sept. 7 Athena fall leadership luncheon.

She is a life-long resident of Middleville and a graduate of Thornapple Kellogg High School and University. Cornerstone She’s married and a mom of four busy kids, age 8 to 15. Hildabrand is the co-host of “Your Family-Friendly Morning Show” on 91.3 WCSG in Grand Rapids. In her spare time, she likes bak­ ing pies, writing and teach­ ing Zumba. The fall leadership lun­ cheon also serves as the offi­ cial kick-off for the 2018 Athena awards nomination process. Each year, the Barry County Chamber presents an Athena Leadership Award and an Athena Young Professional Award based on a thorough public nomina­ tion process. The 2017 Athena Award honorees were Nancy Goodin and Kristen Cove, who both now serve on the local Athena planning and selec­ tion committee.

Thomapple Kellogg’s var­ sity football team improved to 2-0 on the season with a 28-14 victory at Byron Center. The Bulldogs had won the previous eight meet­ ings with the Trojans, out­ scoring the Trojans 124-34 over the last three meetings. The Trojans got things done on the ground to get by the Bulldogs, rushing for well over 300 yards at a clip of over six yards per carry, Quarterback Gabe Nelson and running back Brendan Hood scored touchdowns for the Trojans. “Gabe did a great job reading the option, for the second week in a row, and our guys run hard and block hard. That’s a pretty good combination to get the ball moving on the ground ” TK head coach Jeff Dock said. The Trojan defense did some pretty good things too. With a couple key tackles by junior linebacker AJ Bush and nice play on the defen­ sive front led by senior tack­ le Trenton Dutcher, the TK defense put together a goalline stand at the opening of the second half to preserve a 21-7 lead. “They made some adjust­ ments at halftime,” Dock said. “They were trying to find their running lanes, where they could go. They creased us a couple times and then we just buckled in when they got down by the goal-line. It was awesome. It was an awesome, awesome, awesome stop.” Coach Dock said that Dutcher was big in the bail­ game on both sides of the ball, helping power the TK <offense “ from his guard spot the other way. TK built a 14-0 lead in the opening quarter, getting a touchdown on each of its fv ft first two drives. The teams traded turnovers and touch­ downs the rest of the half. The Bulldogs scored early in the fourth quarter, before _ ■ J ' r TK answered with a TD of its own to seal the win. TK only had three possessions the entire second half as both teams went at each other on the ground. “It’s big when you can beat Byron Center. Coach (Marc) Cisco over there has f it going on,” Dock said. “I rr r >*/ think he dressed over 50. His freshmen team came over the 7 £0(3 previous night and I think X* they had 30-plus or 40.

Many of us know to take care of our bodies but there is growing evidence that it is at least as important to keep our souls healthy too. Counseling supplies us with tools to exercise our souls in order to make them strong and healthy. Counseling also helps us to set healthy boundaries. We often don't realize just how much our past affects our present. The brain stores troubling memories, including all the scents, sounds, emotions and body sensations. If traumatic memories are not fully processed, they get stored too close to the emotional center of the brain, negatively affecting our present lives. Unfortunately, PostTraumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD) affects more than just veterans. The Kent County Health Department has learned that a Kent County resident who was hospitalized with West Nile Virus has died due to complications of the illness. As the Labor Day week­ end holiday approaches, health officials people to know that it is vital to continue to protect themselves from the bite of a mosquito, Through surveillance, KCHD has noted a 400 percent increase in the number of Culex mosquitoes trapped by the agency so far this summer. The Culex mosqui­ to is the species that trans­ mits West Nile Virus to humans. KCHD believes these increased numbers may signal higher numbers of human West Nile Virus cases for the 2018 season. There is no vaccine or cure for West Nile virus. The best treatment is prevention, including the following steps: - Applying insect repellant that contains the active ingredient DEET and always followin a the manufacturer’s lowing directions for use on the label. - Draining standing water in the yard. Empty water from flower pots, pet bowls, clogged rain gutters, buckets, barrels, and cans. Anywhere water can collect, mosquimosqui­ toes can breed. - Avoid being outside at dusk and dawn when mos­ quito activity is high, 1 The 3 off Overcoming the Power of Your Past with EMDR Trained Specialist Mon. - Fri. 9-9; Sat. 9-5 6561 Jasonville Farms Blvd. S.E., Caledonia, Ml 40316 -X Barber Salon ■ ■ ' —■■ ■ ................................... .... !■ • Haircut, Finish w/Hot Cream Razor Around Hairline.. • Mens Facials -$25.00 ■■■ — •12.00 J I ^4^ -$25.00 $ 15.00 .............. .....

EMDR shifts traumatic memories to a part of the brain where they no longer have the power to cause problems in daily life. Once from painful thoughts and feelings related to our past, we are then able to envision a better future and are empowered to live out a healthier and a more balanced life. - Wear light colored long­ sleeved shirts and long pants. Only about 20 percent of the people infected will notice symptoms, which may include headache, body aches, joint pains and fatigue. Most people with this type of West Nile virus completely recover. West Nile virus can develop into a severe illness that can affect the central nervous system. Some damage to the central nervous system may be permanent. In rare instances the disease can lead to death. 4 • • �The Sun and News, Saturday, September 1,2018/ Page 3 I » Alto Harvest Festival and Car Show offers day of old fashioned family fun I ■ sA ^*1 'S»Hi Join in the fun as the Alto Harvest Festival Committee hosts the 38th annual Alto Harvest Festival & Car Show on Saturday, Sept. 15.

It was as good test for all involved as South Christian, Caledonia, Byron Center and Hudsonville met up for the South Christian Quad. The Fighting Scots went 1-1 on the day, scoring a 25-22,25-20 win over Byron Center after falling 25-20, 25-19 to Hudsonville to start the evening. Massive storms swept through west Michigan Tuesday evening, and rain managed to get into the gym through doors that were open to try and help cool down the hot, humid gym. The Fighting Scots and Sailors, after Caledonia sophomore Lydia Harper lost her footing lining up an attack, waited for the end of the Hudsonville match against Byron Center to move to the east end of the gym away from where the floor had gotten wet. During a timeout late in the second game, with the teams still needing to take time between many points to dry sports on the court, both squads decid­ ed that three hours of tough volleyball had been enough. It wasn’t worth it to chance injury for a non-conference match-up in August. The Fighting Scots were pleased to test themselves against OK Red Conference foe Hudsonville in the early part of the season. The Eagles are ranked third in the state in Division 1 and are on the short list of favorites, along with Rockford, to capture the conference crown this sea­ son. r 11 J I Caledonia’s Jenna Flegel (center) and Maddie Morris (right) go up to knock down an attack by South Christian’s Elly Medendorp during the South Christian Quad Tuesday in Grand Rapids.

The DK/TK/Hastings girls will compete against girls from outside the program for the first time Sept. 6 when they host a dual with Fremont on Elementary-Middle school Night in Hastings. The DK/TK/Hastings girls are coming off a season in which they set two team records and finished third in the OK Rainbow Conference Tier II. Back to lead the way from that team are seniors Grace Beauchamp, Kate Haywood, Taylor Myers and Belle Youngs. Youngs holds the diving record for the program, and Haywood holds the fastest backstroke time ever by a DK/TK/Hastings girl. Youngs was the runner-up in the diving competition and Haywood the runner-up in the backstroke at the confer­ ence meet as juniors last November. . Haywood will also com­ pete in freestyle swims and the individual medley this fall. Myers hopes to push her as much as she can in the backstroke. Beauchamp returns as one of the team’s top freestyle swimmers. In all, there are 34 girls out for the team this season. Head coach Carl Schoessel, who has been with the pro- fa ■z w* I S' 4 4 I Belle Youngs gram for 15 seasons, likes those numbers. He likes his girls academic standing as well, and the way that they are leaders in their schools and their communities. The group of exciting additions to to the the program program additions include freshmen Abby Marcukaitis, Aubrey Aubrey Bischoff, Claire Green and Abby Schell, as well as for­ eign exchange-students Ida Anderson, Karolina Ravn and Galina Schiller. The DK/TK/Hastings girls will continue to push for one of the top spots in the confer­ ence again this season, with tough competition coming from the defending confer­ ence championship team from Caledonia/Lowell/ South Christian, as well as the the Calvin/NorthPointe Christian squad, the squad, Muskegon/Mona Shores Muskegon/Mona Co-op and the Wayland team.

Here's a bit of advice that will always be valid: Don't invest in what you don’t understand. The more you know about your investments and what you can expect from them, the less likely that you will be surprised at their performance and their impact on your financial strategy. When you invest in stocks, you hope their value will appreciate over time, but you shouldn’t be shocked over short-term price fluctua­ tions. Conversely, when you purchase a fixed-rate vehicle, such as a Certificate of Deposit (CD), you expect regular interest payments and a return of your principal when the CD matures. But do not anticipate much, if any, growth in the value of your investment. • Work to develop good investment investment habits. habits, Developing good habits often often pays pays off. off. For For example, example, if you exercise regularly, don’t smoke and follow a sensible diet, you will likely help your long-term health, And you can follow good investment habits, too, such as contributing regularly to your 401(k) or other employ­ er-sponsored retirement plan. You’ll also want to avoid bad habits, such as overreacting to a sharp drop in the finan­ cial markets. In an effort to cut your losses, you might respond to this downturn by immediately selling investments whose fundamentals are still strong and whose prospects still may be positive. • Work to get the assis­ tance you need. Investing can be complex, so you may want to work with a financial professional. But investing is just one part of your overall financial picture, so working with an attorney can help with your estate plans. And a tax professional can advise you on the tax-related conse­ quences of various financial moves. There aren’t many guaran­ tees in the investment world - but the harder you work at becoming a good investor, the better your chances of reaching your ultimate objecfives.

As one of them, keep in mind that your efforts can have positive results. Famed film producer Samuel Goldwyn once said: "The harder I work, the luckier I get. ” And this same philosophy can apply to your investing, too because you can indeed work to become a better investor. Consider these steps: • Work to understand your goals and risk tolerance. Self-knowledge is important in all phases of life - and it’s certainly essential to you when you invest. For one thing, you need to know your goals. How long do you plan to work? What would you like to do when you retire? If you have children, do you expect to help pay for their college educations? You’ll also need to know your risk tolerance to help determine your investment choices. Investors with a high toler­ ance for risk typically can overlook the day-to-day fluetuations in the financial markets, and may be comfortable investing more aggressively, But those with a low risk tol­ erance may be more inclined to focus on investments that * �UtoiMkrMi ’<r. -to fl 4 nmi HF J JV < 1 fl< •JR, .*1’* —•1 1 L I12OTJ[J rz s ’ • ’ ?r ’ U- • m • Water Heaters to* 'L IB 1• M* Ur/k’ ■B ■« |mI IE [ ■ fl $ fl fS *.*• 3$ -• th • fair 5*! re*" r ‘til •* ■ ! _,« t if « U m i a) * J®? ^0 „ i * S' 4»f iM * .

To reduce energy use from your hot water heater, try taking shorter showers and switching to cold water for some washing machine wash and rinse cycles. Other options include turning down the thermostat on your heater, adding insulation or purchasing a newer, more efficient model. Heating and Cooling 1* if- home that operates efficiently isn’t just better for the environment. Ensuring your home systems are as efficient as possible can also help reduce the financial burden of maintaining your home throughout the year. These tips from Gary White with JCPenney Home Services can serve as areas of focus for lowering your energy’ bills and lessening your appliances’ negative impact on the environment. • < I | fl M FAMILY FEATURES f 4 • 1 •a THAT MAKE 'CENTS 9f »* * fr’ r» According to the U.S. Department of Energy, as much as 40 percent of a home’s energy expenses come from the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system, also known as the heating and cooling system. Like appliances and other mechanical features of your home, over time, the heating and cooling system becomes less efficient. Regular seasonal service like appropriately changing out the air filter can help ensure your system performs at its best, but once its life expectancy has passed, a new unit is usually the more cost-effective solution in the long run. Understanding your options is important because these systems represent a meaningful investment. There are a lot of potentially overwhelming options and you want to be sure you get the right system for your home. A consultation with an expert, such as those you can find at JCPenney Home Services, can help you determine the proper size and functions necessary to effectively manage your home’s climate, as well as assist in exploring the latest technologies and products. For example, heat pumps, which were once reserved for more moderate climates, are now a cost-efficient solution for homes where temperatures dip lower. Another option that is relatively new but growing in popularity is known as a mini-split system. These systems let you customize the temperature settings in various spaces, enhancing personal comfort and allowing you to focus your energy use on the parts of your home that need it most. Learn more about these and other energy-efficient heating and cooling solutions atjcpenneyhomeservices.com. Thermostats While servicing or replacing an HVAC system may be the obvious change when it comes to conserving energy, you can also see reductions by using an upgraded thermostat, such as a “smart" or connected model. These devices can help you monitor the temperature setting in your home while maximizing efficiency. For example, a connected thermostat that’s synced to your smartphone may allow you to adjust temperature settings when away from home. This way, if you forget to bump the air conditioner up a few degrees while you’re gone more than a few hours, you can log-in remotely and set an appropriate temperature. Weatherproofing A great deal of energy is lost through cracks, holes and faulty seals. Take time to assess all windows, doors and openings for air leaks, adding caulking or weather stripping where needed. Don’t overlook culprits like openings around lighting and plumbing fixtures, switch plates and other electrical elements. Also assess potential losses from the fireplace, attic, garage and crawl spaces, where it’s common that less attention is given to thorough sealing, K— - and determine whether additional insulation can help contain energy. J Em!)* i - i \ 9 K Take Control of Your Climate ft UNDERSTANDING HVAC EFFICIENCY RATINGS An HVAC system can be rated in a number of different ways. While some of these ratings may be confusing, it is helpful to understand what they mean. AFUE: An Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating is important if you are purchasing an oil or gas furnace. The AFUE rating measures the amount of fuel used to heat your home against the amount of fuel wasted. A higher rating indicates a more efficient system. The more efficient your system, the less fuel it takes to heat your home, which translates into lower heating bills during the winter. ** r SEER: The higher the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio $ M r J™ I' f* s * 4* * Managing your home’s climate control is typically no small task or small expense. These options offer flexibility and efficiency. Heat pumps pull from the ground or outside air temperature to both heat your home in the winter and cool it in the summer. Since heat pumps move heat The more efficient heat pump runs until the outside air temperature falls below a certain level, at which point the system automatically switches the heat source to the furnace. This option is more expensive up front, but can generate significant savings in terms of monthly utility bills long-term. rv* (SEER), the more efficient your system and the less it will cost to heat and cool your home.

Haywood and TK head coach David Wood both credited the team chemistry with the improved attack so far this season. “It is something that I knew we always could do,” Wood said. “We started to create chances. We’re finish­ ing them. The end product is now finally there. We were creating a lot last year, but now just finding that last component and just having some composure really helps in front of goal. They’re doing some good stuff.” The finishing has been excellent, and there were some nice plays to set up goals as well. Tyler Gehres headed in a ball from Caden Goudzwaard for the Trojans’ ‘third goal. Goudzwaard then scored himself off an assist from defender Aiden Hannapel, who made a great run up field with the help of teammate Tate Johnson in the back end to start the rush. “The movement is one thing we work a lot on in practice,” Wood said. “We spend a lot of time working on our formation, our sys­ tem, and how specifically we want them to play. Every role has a different responsibility in understanding what goes on in the team unit. “They have been doing a very good job. Their cohe­ siveness is good. Their work rate is awesome.

There are three vacancies for trustee due to the death of John Dailey, the departure of Gary Scholl, who will not seek re-election due to an upcoming move, as well as the seat currently filled by trustee Jennifer Lindsey, Lindsey, an appointed trust­ ee, is already on the ballot and hopes to retain her seat on the council. Trustee candidate Jean Solse grew up in Caledonia and is an alumna of Caledonia High School. “My family has been very active over the years in vil­ lage politics,” Solse said. “I decided after coming to these meetings for the last year or so, that it’s time that I step up and put my foot into the political pool.” Write-in candidate Erinn Findlan is a three-year resi­ dent of Caledonia.

My mom was the first female mayor in the U.P. and the youngest one, so this kind of thing I feel is in my blood.” “For me, I think putting my foot in the pool as well is a way to increase civic engagement and is something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time.” The third candidate for trustee, Bill Neil, is also a write-in candidate. Neil was bom and raised in Caledonia and also is a Caledonia High School alumnus. He served as a trustee on the council for eight years in the 1970s, and relinquished his seat due to a move outside of the village. Neil moved back to village 20 years ago and served on the fire department for 34 years, “I feel that after all these years of absence as far as the fire department goes and the village goes, that it’s time to get maybe back involved again and make sure things are done right,” Neil said. Jennifer Renegar is the only candidate so far to seek the role of treasurer. Renegar has lived in the village for 28 years. Seeing the treasurer vacancy in the Sun and News recently, Renegar made the decision to pursue the role. “I believe that my work experience would be a bene­ fit,” Renegar said. “I was a public servant for the gov­ ernment, I managed state projects, I reviewed their budgets and project plans or business plans. I am not a accoun­ banker, I am not an accountant, organized, Cathy Leaf’s kindergarten class shows the books they received from community tant, but but II’’m m very very organized, I have an eye for detail, I can sponsors. see patterns and anomalies like that, and I really think it would give me a sense of pride to be able to finally serve my community as your treasurer."

Grinage added that South Haven has gotten away from all-terrain vehicles on public roads, as well. Council members invited people in the audience to voice their opinions. The general consensus was positive, as long as regulations and ordinances are put into place and enforced, “I think we’ve spent three months on discussion, and we should have kind of a direction on which way to go,” Grinage said. After more discussion, the council approved a motion to create a resolution ordinance for allowing the use of golf carts in the village of Caledonia. In other business, a con­ cern was brought up by trust­ ee Dan Erskine regarding issues to water treatment facility pumps caused by cit­ izens disposing of flushable wipes in their commodes. “I don’t know if there is a sewer facility, sewer plant in the country that doesn’t have Sue Van Liere Staff Writer Golf carts are one step closer to becoming a reality in the village of Caledonia. At Monday’s village meet­ ing, council members report­ ed they have reviewed ordi­ nances utilized by other small communities concern­ ing use of golf carts. Trustee Jennifer Lindsey said she preferred the ordinance in place by the town of Fruitport. “I like that they broke out the regulations that they felt needed to be, and they also made them [the owners] register the golf carts,” Lindsey said. “So, then you can keep track of how many we have and who they are registered to.” Village president Todd Grinage told council mem­ bers he has checked with other communities as well, including South Haven. “It was quite interesting how each community had its own policy of enforcement, Grinage said. “I know the three that I made contact with basically went off from what the village streets pursuant of MCL 257.657 of the penal­ ties of the violation that would be, of course under that ordinance.

In fact, every student in Karen Young’s kindergarten class got a special surprise from strangers. So did all the students in Cathy Leaf’s kin- dergarten dergarten class class and and Karen Karen Seifert’s first-grade class. Seifert's “I put out a Facebook post that 1 would like to have peopie from the community sponsor one of my students and provide a book and a special note for them for the first day of school,” Leaf said. “In less than six hours, I had sponsors for every stu­ dent.” Community members signed up for the project without knowing the students and without the students knowing them, That's what makes it spe­ cial ” Seifert said. “This is someone else who is showing these kids support.” As Young called off each ll the senior center include a games and book club Sept. 27, Tech Thursday Oct. 4, games Oct. 11 and a paper craft project for the chemo care bags Oct. 18.

Middleville Village Council meeting follows stirring Patriot Day tribute Ian Watson Contributing Writer The Middleville Village Council meets the second and fourth Tuesday of each month and, this week, that meeting happened to fall on Patriot Day, just hours after a tribute in Middleville to the 9/11 victims and their rescu­ ers.

But how much do you need? If you want the appropriate amount of coverage, you should consider a variety of factors. How much do you earn? How much does your spouse earn? How many children do you have? How old are they? How much do you owe on your home? By answering these and other, similar questions, you can arrive at a coverage level that’s suitable for your needs. Also, keep in mind that those needs will change - for example, if your children are grown and you’ve downsized your living arrangements, you may require less insur­ ance than at earlier times in your life. Life Insurance Awareness Month is a good time to remind yourself of the importance of insurance and of the need to own the cor­ rect amount. So, review your coverage soon - after all, you can’t predict the future, but you can still prepare for it.

It is a logistic nightmare and very, very costly. We’d like to appeal to you to use that portion of Kinsey [Street] during con­ struction.” Maier said the develop­ ment company would offer to videotape the road and chip­ seal any damage occurring to the road during construction. “Let’s be clear, the county feels that 100th Street will just get completely torn to shreds, trustee Eric shreds,"” VanGessel said. “What I’m concerned about is if that street gets torn up, we're affecting the residents on 100th Street.” Village president Todd Grinage said he didn’t think chip-sealing would be sufficient to fix damage done by construction traffic. Village department of publie works manager Roger Loring agreed that 100th Street would not hold up to construction vehicles and recommended the Kinsey Street entrance be used, and Sue Van Liere Staff Writer Michael Maier with Cusp Group, developer for the planned townhome project at 245 Kinsey St., raised con­ cerns that the approved entrance for construction, off 100th Street, would not hold up to construction traffic. “The Kent County Road Commission strongly recom­ mended that we come and appeal to you,” Maier told the village council Monday evening. “They are very concerned about construction traffic on [100th Street]. We’ve learned that there are some very wet areas on that street and it’s probably not going to hold up and proba­ bly not going to support and be shut down quite a bit for us to use the road.” Maier proposed that the south 1,200 feet of Kinsey Avenue be used for construc­ tion traffic instead. “It’s less than a quarter of a mile to access our site for construction,” Maier said. “An interruption in construc- any necessary repairs to Kinsey Street be made after construction. Council members concurred that it would not be prudent to use 100th Street as had been planned. They dis­ cussed setting a bond at $20,000 for any necessary repairs to Kinsey Street after construction. A motion was made agreeing to the change and the bond was approved by the council. Maier also reported that a walking path around a pond planned at the townhome rejected by site, was Community Caledonia Superintendent Schools Dedrick Martin because of safety issues with the pro­ posed path’s proximity to Duncan Lake Middle School, It was recommended that because of Martin’s concems, plans for the path be removed and possibly revisited in Phase II of the project.

The hearing will be held in the Council Chambers of the Village Hall, 100 E. Main Street, Middleville, MI 49333. The application to be considered by the Zoning Board of Appeals seeks the following variance from the terms of the Village Code: Sec. 78-327(3)(a) which requires a minimum rear yard setback of 25 feet for buildings in the C-2 Highway Commercial District adjacent to lands in the R-3 Zoning District. The property is located in the Towne center PUD zoning district, requiring all non-residential uses are subject to C-2 zoning standards. The rear lot line shares a boundary with lands in the PUD subject to R-3 Multiple Family Residential zoning. The minimum rear yard setback is 25 feet from any residential zone, requiring the setback of 10 feet a variance of 15 feet. A gas station is permitted as a special land use in the C-2 District per the standards found in Sec. 78-553. If the variance is approved by the Zoning Board of Appeals, the review and approval for the gas station as a special land use would be conducted by the Planning Commission at a later date, subject to the process described in Article IV of the Zoning Ordinance. Any interested person may attend the public hearing to offer comments to the Zoning Board of Appeals. A copy of the variance applications are available for inspection at the Village office, 100 E. Main St., during regular business hours, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services is encouraging men to dis­ cuss screening options and steps they can take to lower their risk as part of Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. In Michigan, an estimated 5,400 new cases and 940 deaths due to prostate cancer will be recorded in 2018. Experts believe routine exer­ cise, eating a variety of vege­ tables and fruits and staying at a healthy weight will help lower a man’s risk of getting prostate cancer. Age, race and family his­ tory may increase a man’s chance of getting prostate cancer. The chance of getting prostate cancer increases after age 50. Prostate cancer is also more likely to be found in African-American men. “There may not be any symptoms with early prostate cancer,” Nick Lyon, MDHHS director, said in a Sept. 13 press release. “Men should talk with their healthcare provider about screening, potential benefits and known limitations in order to make the testing decision that is right for them.” Men with average risk white with no family history - should have this discussion with their doctor beginning at age 50. Men at higher risk, including African-Americans or men with close relatives with prostate cancer, should have this discussion with their their doctors doctors as as soon soon as as 40 40 years of age. Prostate cancer may be found early by test­ ing the amount of pros­ tate-specific antigen in a man’s blood along with per­ forming an examination.

Where did you go to school? I graduated from Kelloggsville Public Schools in 2011. After high school, I studied elementary education at Grand Valley State University. My emphasis was in language arts. I stu­ dent taught at Lee in third grade with Marc Lester and Krissta Hannapel in the spring of 2016. I fell in love with the district immediately. Where and what have you previously taught? For the last two years, I taught at East second grade Kelloggsville alongside teachers that I grew up with. I am very grateful for my experiences there.

I can’t go through a store or watch a movie without relat­ ing it to our future genera­ tions. I enjoy watching them grow and learn new things. I find it so fascinating how much I learn from all of them. I leave everyday exhausted and wake up every morning excited and eagers.

I am also the mom of two cats: Toby and Milo. Family means a lot to me. Tell us about working in the district: My favorite second grade read-aloud is Charlotte's Web by E.B. White. Being a city girl, I SO have always been intrigued by farms and ani­ mals. Middleville was new to me during student teaching and brought me right to that book and its beauty. The way everyone knows everyone and their willingness to be neighborly left me in awe, much the way Charlotte’s kindness left Wilbur in awe. What’s the most import­ ant lesson you want your students to learn? I want my students to grow in all areas, but if I can make my students feel loved and val­ ued, I know they will work hard. If they understand their own potential, anything will be possible. | i rflggtggkh I I r ’^OL & DIE C° Looking to start your career with a growing company?

Bradford White requests 'mixing zone’ at Thornapple River Taylor Owens Staff Writer In the 1980s, Bradford White was using degreasing chemicals that were found to have carcinogens. Though the company stopped using the chemicals, the compounds stuck around and seeped into the ground. Bradford White, which did not return phone requests il r/sri leW) od) iwoq 1592 a i bib I for comment before this arti arti-­ cle went to print on Wednesday, has been aware of the issue for over a decade, and has been taking steps to research the contaminants. The specific chemicals are vinyl chloride, trichlorethylene and ethylene dichloride, which are known or believed to suspected carcinogens. The request was iWiWlly reported in an Mlive article early online posted Wednesday morning. David Wierzbicki, project manager Michigan with . the of Department Environmental Quality's and Remediation Redevelopment Division stated the article suggested that Bradford White was attempting to skirt or circumvent their responsibility, which, he said, was not the case. Wierzbicki said Bradford White has been a cooperative party for several years and has been compli­ ant with the DEQ’s requests and has been proactive in working on the issue, Wierzbicki has been working with Bradford White on the cleanup for years. He estimated the company has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not over a million dollars, to research, treat and clean the contaminants. They're being proactive on their said part,” Wierzbicki. He explained the company installed multi­ pie monitor wells around the 44 •9 area near the plan 4 Sfby the Thomapple'Riverf The company is also using multipie methods to degrade the contaminants before they can reach the river.

The football fireworks idea idea was was launched launched by by the the Middleville Lions Club which would like to under­ write the cost of firework ovations at all varsity outdoor home sporting events. Superintendent Rob Blitchok told members that the plan isn’t to have ‘Fourth of July”-like firework displays on school grounds at each game, but to to use them as merely celebratory symbols, “We will decide on a caseby-case basis,“ said Blitchok, “but, in order to do fireworks outside the Fourth of July holiday, we have to get a variance.” That variance, presumably, would have to come 1 Bear spotted roaming the Village of Middleville k- A-. ^Sue Van Liere J Staff Writer Middleville resident Mike Meinke had a surprise encounter with a bear early >jr ’ morning. ’ Monday . At approximately 3:45 a.m., Meinke was driving west on State Road on his way to catch a flight at Gerald Ford International Airport. Nearing Middleville, he spotted a large object near the side of the road near H&L Manufacturing. At first, Meinke said, he thought it was a deer. He'd never seen a bear in the wild before. “I’ve seen deer many times,” he said. “But, when I got closer, that’s when I real­ ized it wasn't a deer.” As the animal crossed the road in front of him, it became apparent that it was a bear. He described it as large, dark and round. “That’s when I realized it wasn't a dog, it wasn’t a deer, it was a bear,” Meinke said. He stopped and continued watching as the bear bolted across State Road, disappear­ ing into the shrubs bordering Mount Hope Cemetery. The adrenaline was still flowing after he arrived at the airport. “1 was shaking,” Meinke said. “I called my wife and said, “You won’t believe what I saw! He said he reported the bear sighting to the Barry County Sheriff’s Department. 9 M from local township or vil­ lage officials. “If they say ‘no,’ I’m not going to fight it,” Blitchok said. Board members said they see the offer as a way that the Lions Club can support the school district. “I know that (the Lions) are very, very careful,” agreed Blitchok, “but if it goes awry the first time we try it or it just doesn’t seem like it is being conducted properly, I will just cut them off.” After a few followup ques­ tions about insurance for such use, board members supported a motion to seek approval from the village for an ordinance variance to allow fireworks displays to take place on school proper- Board members heard about three other hot issues during the public comment period in which speakers expressed concerns about school district policies. One parent expressed his «■ concern that his daughter had been misled by a member of the TK coaching staff and intentionally cut from a team. The parent was asked to set up a meeting with the superintendent. A local business owner voiced his complaint that he had tried to do business with the school district for eight years and could offer better rates on equipment that was being used, but his offers were not being entertained. He was reassured that he was being heard, A third man asked for per­ mission to advertise scout programs in the schools in the form of flyers. Blitchok asked him to call the office and set up an appointment also. TK’s new teaching staff was also introduced by the principal of each school during the board's Sept. 10 The staff was meeting, shown appreciation and wel­ comed. 4 In This Issue... • New policy recommendations for Caledonia fund balances • TK Alumni Association honored as parade grand marshal • Another plea to head off gypsy moth in Caledonia next summer • Trojan tennis battles through Gold gauntlet I I i I �as painting, free hot dogs. crounmg of the homeexming king and queen hon beoowed on IK alumni were all pan of die festivities <4 this ye 'v TK b<rmeoum mg event The I’hornapple Kellogg Alumni Association wu named grand marshal for this year s homecoming parade Ijast year, the organization formed just two years ago prevented the first Alumni bon Diatinguj ors at the homecoming game and continued this year by honoring two more alumni The orgamzatHm has also been selfing (shirts and sweatshirts and holding fundraising events including a golf outing to raise funds for a JK Alumni Scholarship The organization hopes to award its first scholarship to a graduating TK senior this server as the treasurer and Cindy Riva Middlebush is historian 'secretary Janet Trustees include Solomon Geukes.

Yonkers said that there arc two possible resolutions to pay for the overage. One is to go to elected officials to ask for a district assessment . The other is to hold a public hearing in order to receive a determination of work to be completed Today, because of how technology has improved, we have to set these districts by contour,” Yonkers said. “The whole county has been sur­ veyed and we have all con­ toured. every two foot con­ tour So everything has to be re-laid out according to the contour lines, not by proper­ ty lines. So that's going to include a lot more people.’’ Yonkers explained that, due to the way the laws are written, the new contours cannot be determined until a project is established and funding is approved. “Wc have to have a project to spend the money on this drain,” he said. •* 64 “We don’t know who we’re assessing.” “We do it every time.” Yonkers replied. “That’s the way the law is wntten.” “ We have a couple of deci sions. to approve the project, or not to approve it.” said Hamson. “If we approve it. that allows you to determine the contours of who is bene filing from it.” No. that will be deter replied Yonkers. mined. “We will have a hearing, and all of these people w , will be notified and they will be able to come in and appeal. It's a hearing of the boundary, and then the assessment as well. Once we have a project, because it's a county drain, we are obligated by law to maintain it. “From a precedent stand point. I think that we've done aa larg larger one of these over on I108 ox'" 1” street, where there was water over the road caused by the drain,” Harrison said. “The determination was done and then the property owners were assessed, and to me that makes sense. When we do a lighting district, we do those that are on the street, when we do a lake treatment, we assess those on the lake, and traditionally from the limited number we have done, we’ve accessed those who receive the benefit from drainage infrastructure.

A recommendation was also made to establish a goal of transferring funds annual­ ly from the general fund to the public improvement fund in the range of .05 to 5 percent of the annual operating budget. “This is generally just an accounting practice to try to earmark some money for some of those things that we know we need to take care of that may not be regular ongoing items,” said Martin. The public improvement fund will be utilized for the purchase of school buses building repairs and replacements and other capital expenditures for the district. Salaries and benefits are not allowable expenditures of the public improvement fund. A motion was made to accept the reading and it was unanimously carried. Energy Controls Manager, Tim Kerkstra, and Director of Operations, Gary Delger addressed the board regard­ ing district energy usage. It was reported that the first year’s energy savings since Kerkstra came on board to the district was approximate­ ly $174,700, with approxi­ mately $75,000 in savings on electric and $99,000 savings on the gas side. “When we hired Tim, the idea was, we wanted him to be able to save as much money within two years, on the three-year basis, to be able to pay for his salary,” Delger said. “Well he’s more than done that and has shown some really good results here, so I think we’ll want to continue that. The refreshing thing for me is that when Tim started with us, his personal mantra with this is that com­ fort is first. He’s not about saving energy first. He wants to keep people comfortable in the buildings and then 9 •w rJ ‘’W® I siaah. w fl • last <w ife IJ V ■Il K QC k dhUiM i i: s M nr!: 1st Is i® H . i W« . .r 4 ’5 I I H «•* I save energy ” In a report to the board about annual enrollment, Devries said that, although the fall count has not been conducted yet, the projected headcount looks like it will be slightly lower then budgeted counts, “The potential if this comes to be, would be a loss of about $168,000 to the budget,” Devries said. “In the grand scheme of things, I think that it’s important for everyone to note that this is relatively flat,” said Martin. “With that total number of kids, you are talking less then 1 percent so, with a district of our size and a budget of this size, this is not out of the range, but if the $168,000 numbers hold, that is real money and we will have to reflect that in the upcoming budget amendment, but to see something in 1 percent - plus or minus, is generally pretty good.” Despite the slight decrease in the fall enrollment projections, overall enrollment rates are in a growth trend, trend. Although Although lower lower birth birth rates rates reported in Caledonia and student choosing to attend alternative schools, such as the West Michigan Aviation Academy or online schools, the school of choice program continues to increase headcounts, which assists in override those factors. The board discussed coming up with methods to track reasons why students depart the district. In her report on SAT and M-STEP assessment testing, Curriculum Director, Janel Switzer explained that stu­ dents are given the SAT assessment during their elev­ enth grade year. The assess­ ment covers English, lan­ guage arts and math. They also take the science and social studies test at that level, as well as an ACT career readiness assessment. Third through eighth grade students take the M-Step test in the spring. All students are tested in English, lan­ guage arts and math, with fifth and eighth grade students also tested in social studies and science. Switzer said that science scores were not released released this year, not Because it was a new assessment based on new science standards, the Michigan Department of Education used the scores to gather data and analyze test questions to ensure they are up to appropriate standards. “Some of our highlights we will be doing during the school school..

Background: I graduated from Inland Lakes High School in 2008 with the class of 1976. From there I moved down to Grand Rapids where I began my undergrad at GVSU, majoring in Biology with an emphasis on Secondary Education. I was fortunate enough to complete my student teaching here at TKHS, where I truly felt wel­ comed by the community and supported by every staff member and student here. Experience: Before com­ ing to TK, I spent four years teaching Alternative High School at East Lee Campus (of Godfrey-Lee Public Schools). It was here that I fell in love with designing Project Based Learning courses with an emphasis on real-world issues. I learned a great deal from my staff and students, and I hope to take those experiences wherever 1 go. What is your passion as an educator? Firstly, I love science and I’m so excited to be in a position that allows me to share my passion for the natural world. I truly love working with students and I’m continuously impressed with their wit, their perseverance, and their personal experiences that always end up increasing our lessons and discussions.

We’ve been married for almost two years (in October) and we’ve been together for nearly eight years since we met in college. I don’t have any kids, but 1 do have two cats and lizard (which is basically the same thing, right?), I have family members all over the globe now, with my extended family scattered across the Colorado Rockies and a brother in New Zealand, Even though we’re often multiple time zones apart, we’re still very much con­ nected. Please share a quote about working in the dis­ trict: I still can’t believe how lucky 1 am to work with TK. The students are phe­ nomenal and supportive of one another, the staff is wel­ coming and stronger togeth­ er, and I couldn't be happier to be a part of this team. What’s the most import­ ant lesson you want your students to learn? It feels like the world is spinning faster than ever, and we’re essentially preparing students for jobs that don’t even exist yet. To thrive in this world we have to be comfortable with taking risks and rely on each other. We have to know how to talk with one another, how to disagree with one another, and how to problem solve together. We are our own best resource. TK Teacher Feature: Ryan Fletke Tanett Hodge Staff Writer My name is Ryan Fletke and I will be teaching in the Special Education Program at the High School this upcoming school year. I graduated from TK in 2005 and graduated from Western Michigan University in 2010. Since then, I have earned my Masters in Education Leadership and have taught in various teaching roles for the past eight years. My wife is a first-grade teacher in Wayland and we have two children together. Our daugh­ ter is six and will be in first grade, and our son just turned one in June.

American Business Women's Day is celebrated on Sept. 22. .And there is indeed cause for celebration, because, in recent decades, the number of women busi­ ness owners has risen sharp­ ly, to the point where nearly 40 percent of all businesses w ’omen-owned, are now women-owned, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. If you are one of these owners, or thinking about becoming one, you’ll always have a lot to think about when running your business, but there's also an area you can't ignore - your retirement. Specifically, you need to consider establishing your own retirement plan. Most plans available to you are fairly easy to estab­ lish and maintain, and are not terribly costly to administer, Here are some popular options: • Owner-only 401 (k) This plan, also known as an individual or solo 401(k), is available to self-employed individuals and business owners with no full-time employees other than them­ selves or a spouse. For 2018, you can put in up to 25 per­ cent of your annual income as an “employer" contribu­ tion, and you can defer up to $18,500 (or $24,500 if you're 50 or older).

The DEQ is currently accepting public comment on the issue on its website until Sept. 28. Afterwards, the DEQ will test the river to determine if the contamina­ tion is below acceptable lev­ els, which Wierzbicki said may take a couple months. He is confident, however, that based on the current data the levels will be acceptable. If the request were to be denied, Wierzbicki said Bradford White would likely need to go back and get more data, or use more treatment methods to attempt to lower the discharge levels further. Village Middleville Manager Duane Weeks said he had been “a little bit" mis­ quoted in the article. Though he was unaware of Bradford White's request to the DEQ and the period for public comment, Weeks said the vil­ lage has not been in the dark. “The village has been aware of this issue and the process of cleaning this up and working with the DEQ," said Weeks. He said Bradford White has done a good job of working with and communi­ cating with the village, and has been forthcoming with information. * - • Call 269-945-9554 for Sun & News classified ads " RSM It c tion and your salary deferrals suggests, is easy to set up cannot exceed $55,000, or and maintain, and it can be a $61,000 if you're 50 or older. good plan if your business You can make elective con­ has fewer than 10 employees. tributions on a pre- or post­ However, while a SIMPLE tax (Roth) basis.

The Scots avenged an early season loss to Jenison in the championship quarter­ outscoring finals, the Wildcats 25-19, 21-25, 15-13. Audrey Torres did a bit of everything for the Scots in the win over Jenison, pound­ ing 11 kills and adding a team-high 17 digs with three assists. Libero Micaela Rundhaug had 14 digs for the Scots. Setter Lydia Harper chipped in seven digs and 30 assists.

She didn't have an error on her 18 total attacks, Kaylee Maat hit three aces for the Eagles. Herrema and Mallory Keller had six digs each, with Heather Coffman and Kaylee Maat chipping in five apiece. Maat had 20 assists too. “Hudsonville is kind of rolling right now.

They were kind of .clicking on all cylinders, which is what you want to be doing. When the other team is doing it, it's hard to be reacting to that, Hudsonville is a very strong team, team, and and they they were were on on top top of their game today. That makes it very difficult on us. “I am proud of our efforts and we'll get better and when we play them in the OK Red it'll be better than that.” Caledonia got four kills from Emily Petrosky and three from Larson. Schantz had three digs and a handful of girls had two. Harper had ten assists. The Scots bested ReethsPuffer by the scores of 25-14, 25-16.

"•251! Sports Editor The Trojan offense got better as the game wore on with a new varsity quarter­ back. The Trojan defense was outstanding all game long, shutting out Wyoming 22-0 as the Thornapple Kellogg football varsity team improved to 5-0 overall and 3-0 in the OK Gold Conference. More than anything, Thornapple Kellogg head coach Jeff Dock was gushing about his punter Friday night, “(Mitchell Middleton) had two unbelievable punts, one he punted while being tack­ led, and pinned them deep,” Dock said. “It was maybe the biggest play of the game. The snap was high, he gets it, and literally as he was being tack­ led he booms one down inside their five. It was unbe­ lievable. He had another really awesome one.” One of those punts pinned the Wolves back on their own goal-line in the third quarter, and the Trojan defense plowed through the line soon after to smother the Wyoming quarterback for a safety that upped TK’s lead to 8-0 at the time. “There were a lot of orange helmets back there,” coach Dock said. “They just played hard,” he said of his defense. “We didn’t panic. We just kept everything in front of us and we flew to the football. I’d have loved to have seen us tackle a little bit better, but we got to the ball and had multiple hats at the ball all the time. It was good team defense.” Dylan Podbevsek scored the opening points forTK on a touchdown run in the third quarter, finishing off a drive that was helped by a 29-yard pass from sophomore quarterback Cole Shoobridge to Trent Johnson. That was the only pass for the Trojans all game. TK finished with 276 yards on the ground. Shoobridge and Logan Tolan tacked on touchdown runs in the fourth quarter for the Trojans. TK did move the ball early on in the contest, but the Wolves recovered TK fum­ bles to bring an end to the Trojans' first two drives. Coach Dock said injured quarterback Gabe Nelson was an integral part, and still is an integral part, of the Trojan team, “but Cole has been getting reps at quarter­ back and so has Colton Ward. It’s not like they’re brand new at this. Our guys rallied around. Our practice is what our practice is. We got after it all week and were able to grind out a win. It was nice to see us just battling and bat­ tling and battling. No one panicked. We stayed together and good things happened." The Trojans will have to keep working hard to for good things to keep happening. The schedule gets tough­ er from here on out. TK will be at home next Friday to take on Grand Rapids Christian. The Eagles will certainly be looking to avenge their loss to the Trojans in last year's regular season finale. The Trojan program has won six straight ballgames. “We have a gauntlet com­ ing. We have Grand Rapids Christian next. That’s our main focus. They’re coming in on fire. They’re scoring a ton of points. We’ll buckle in and see what we need to do on defense and see what we need to do on offense, and special teams,” Dock said. The Eagles are 4-1 overall and 2-0 in the OK Gold Conference after scoring a 48-7 win over Forest Hills Eastern last night. East Grand Rapids, who the Trojans play in two weeks, is also 2-0 in the OK Golda after shutting out Wayland 26-0 last night.

Kyle McKeown announced for his parents that they were going to match any donations made to the TAEF as board discretionary funds through the end of the year, up to $5,000 in total contributions.

Village Middleville Council approved a raise for the council president’s salary on Sept.l 1. The pay rate was $2,800 and it was to be increased to $3,200. The only problem with that increase was the fact that he already should have been making $3,280. Village staff discovered the error when they saw that a higher pay rate had been approved four years ago, which was the last time the council had considered rais­ ing the president’s pay. As a result of this error 1 village President Charles Pullen did not receive the higher amount from Nov. 14, 2014 to June 2018. The Council voted 6-0 to approve the back pay for Pullen, who abstained from voting. The cost to the vil­ lage will be $480 for each year the higher pay rate was in force, plus $240 for the first part of 2018, which results in a total of $1,680 in back pay. .

September 29. 2018 Area residents can help ‘give polio a paddling’ FINANCIAL FOCUS Provided by Andrew McFadden and Jeffrey Westra of Edward Jones Understanding risk tolerance is essential for investment success To succeed as an investor, you might think you need to know about the economy, interest rales and the funda­ mentals of companies in which you’d like to invest. And all these things are indeed important. But it’s most essential to know your­ self. Specifically, you need to know how much risk you are willing to tolerate to achieve your goals. Of course, you’ve lived with yourself your entire life, so you probably have a pret­ ty good idea of your likes and dislikes and what makes you comfortable or uncom­ fortable. But investing can be a different story. Initially, you may believe you have a high tolerance for risk, hut if the financial mar­ kets drop sharply, and you see that you’ve sustained some sizable losses (at least on paper - you haven’t really “lost” anything until you sell investments for less than what you paid for them), how will you feel? If you find yourself constantly fretting over these losses, perhaps even losing sleep over them, you might realize your risk tolerance is not as high as you thought. In this case, you may need to scale back the part of your portfolio devoted to growlh in favor of Boh Williams Middleville Rotarx Middleville Rotan is join­ ing with 35XXM) Rotary clubs around the world to “give P°b° ^P^dling” and help finishL the job of _r eradicating _ polio from the world.

The Sun and News is featuring new facul­ ty members each week so that the community may get to know them better. This week's feature shines a light on Madylin Barker and Alex Colville. Barker is the assistant high school band director and McFall music teacher. Background: 1 went to high school at Plainfield South High School in Plainfield, Ill., and graduated in 2013. I went to college at Olivet Nazarene University and graduated in 2017 with a bachelor’s degree in music education. Experience: I taught K-12 music in Grand Rapids last school year. What is your passion as an educator? My biggest goal as a music educator is to teach students of all ages to love and appreciate music as an art form. I want my stu­ dents to be the ones who, later in their life, play in the community band, attend local orchestra performanc­ es, sing in a church choir, or pass on their appreciation of music to the next generation. south of Chicago. We are huge Chicago sports fans. What’s it like working in the district? My first month in the district has been abso­ lutely amazing. The TK community has been so wel­ coming and supportive of me a as a young, new teacher. I love coming to work every day. What's the most import­ ant lesson you want your students to learn? I want my students to learn that they can love and understand music, because music is for everyone. 1 1 I «... / r ■■ -VJ* Madylin Barker If my students love music all their lives, I have succeeded. Tell us about your fami­ ly: I come from a family of medical professionals: My grandmother was a nurse, as is my mother. My father is a firefighter/paramedic. I am the oldest of four siblings, and my whole family lives *• t ? Alex Colville is a new high school algebra teacher. Background: 1 graduated from Sprin oa Lake High School. 1 then went to Ferris State University and degreed in secondary education with a major in mathematics and minor in history. I also have an associate degree in hotel and restaurant management. Experience: This is the first year I have taught my own classroom. What is your passion as an educator? When I was in sixth grade, I knew I was going to become a teacher. I loved the idea of helping people become more than they ever thought they could. I get that every day when I hear a student say, “I don't get this," and after 10 min­ utes of working with the stu­ dent, I hear, “Ahhh, now I get it!” That brings me so much joy. Tell us about your fami­ ly: I am the oldest of five ’’’ / V F *> >> ‘r ■ ■ V. a I . Tf Alex Colville brothers. Josh is a sound engineer in Nashville, Tenn.; Eric is a senior at Central Michigan University getting his business degree; Chase is on his way to Maine to fur­ ther his education; and Wade just graduated high school. What’s it like working in the district? The best part about working in this district is how everyone wants to help you out and how every­ one has a smile on their face. What’s the most important lesson you want your stu- dents to learn? The most important lesson I want my students to learn is to never give up. I know math is a hard subject for some stu­ dents, but with hard work and persistence, a student can master math. That mind­ set goes a long way in the real world, and I want my students to be successful in any endeavors they encoun­ ter in their lives. ?. 1 —4 • ffiubi 91 if lira - a& kTK Oi I to al W Wolves pull out five-set win over TK spikers Wyoming bested the the Thomapple Kellogg varsity volleyball team in the final two sets in Wyoming Thursday to drop the Trojans to 0-5 in the OK Gold 'tiff ie * THORnnPPLC Presented by specie! arrangement with Samuel French, Inc. - & tat*1 /MOON ONER BUFF/ILO % ^4th Annua/// 10:00am - 2:00pm Platinum Sponsors METRO HEALTH UMVOtSTT Of MR-HIGfN IClAtOI GUN LAKE CASINO Proudly Present the Comedy: TjjlS aiiir one.

Earlier in the week, many of the same students attended the Patriot Day cer­ emony to honor and remem­ ber victims of the 9-11 attacks. There, they were reminded of the importance of service to others. “I think it’s super import­ ant to give back to the com­ munity that has supported us so much,” student Alex Hanshaw said. “I hope it's something 1'11 always be able to do.” Many admitted they thought about the 9-11 cere­ mony as they volunteered. “I liked helping out a lot.

The Trojans were happy with who they finished ahead of. Calvin Christian took the win with 26 points, ahead of Covenant Christian 86 and TK 92. Wayland was fourth with 98 points, ahead of Kenowa Hills 130, Cedar Springs 178, Libertas Christian 183, Coopersville 187 and Grant 210. “We finally had a race with cool temperatures,” TK girls’ coach Sam Wilkinson said. “The varsity girls worked hard and enjoyed a third place finish after being bested by a very strong Grand Rapids Calvin Christian team, and a strong Grand Rapids Rapids Covenant Christian team. It was important to me that we were able to battle ahead of Wayland, who placed fourth, but breathing down our necks. Anytime you can be ahead of a conference and regional rival, that's a good thing. Wayland's team is full of some strong girls and they are a good barometer for us. This was our first year at this meet. The course is fast and the competition was good. Next year we will know the course better and we’ll give it another crack.” TK had Jessica Durkee 13th, Elizabeth Meyering I I 14 14th, Audrey Meyering 16th, Bree Bonnema 23rd and Georgia Kaboos 26th. Times were not available for most of the girls' meet finishers. “Durkee continued to lead our team and finish first for us in spite of some misdirec­ tions on the course, which I blame myself for,” Wilkinson said. “I had the girls preview the course independently of me, and I should have been with them on the parts of the course that were somewhat confusing.” “The girls gave maximum effort” he added, “and I will never be disappointed in the girls when I know this is the case, regardless of what the results are. Having said this, third was a very respectable showing in the field we competed against today.” Calvin Christian had six girls in the top 11 in the race, a group led by Catherine Kortman who was the individual champion in 19:42. Cedar Springs won the boys’ meet with 35 points, ahead of Grant 76, Calvin Christian 79, Kenowa Hills 113, Covenant Christian 128, Comstock Park 148, Saranac 166, Thornapple Kellogg 201, Wyoming Lee 260, Wayland 268 and Libertas Christian 324. Cedar Springs had three of the first four guys to finish. Red Hawk sophomore Corey ~ -----Bowers was the individual champion in 15:57.97. Thornapple Kellogg junior 19:09.42. Sophomore Howie Frizzell was right behind in 54th with a time of 19:14.36. Reynolds, Heiser ,Fleischmann and Frizzell all set new personal records on in 18:54.12, senior Ashton Heiser 51st in 18:58.86, Corbin freshman Fleischmann 52nd in 52nd 19:07.70, and sophomore Levi VanderHeide 53rd in Nick Bushman lowered his personal record again, finish­ ing tenth in 17:13.46. The rest of the TK guys formed a solid pack. Freshman Camden Reynolds was 48th the day.

Main St. in downtown Middleville. Everyone agreed that it had been said at one time or another. “I’ve been with the village for almost five years, and I have only known this build­ ing to be vacant,” Urquhart said of the structure that housed the village’s post office for many years in the late 1900s. But after many years of hard work and collaboration the time has come to announce the commence­ ment of one of the most sig­ nificant redevelopment proj­ ects in downtown Middleville: the groundbreaking ceremony Monday for The Lofts of Middleville. Representatives from the village, township, Michigan Economic Development Corporation, Hastings City Bank and the owners of the property, Chad and Joanna Schlientz, met at the down­ town pavilion next to the property. phenomenal it was to see Middleville continue to work toward being a community people are proud to live in. Chad Schlientz, currently from Grand Rapids, grew up in the area, so when the building became available 2 years ago, he and his wife, Joanna, bought it. They have been working closely with the MEDC, Hastings City Bank and the village to see their vision come to fruition. Chad. Schlientz thanked everyone for their support Monday, and said he looked forward to the undiscovered potential the project could bring to Middleville. The Schlientzes were quick to say everyone involved was easy to work with and helpful. They said they are excited to see how the building can benefit the community. “This is taking place today because of the strong proac­ tive, local leadership,” said Greg Tedder, executive vice ‘Tve been with the village for almost five years, and I have only known this building to be vacant.” Brian Urquhart, Village planning and zoning administrator The owners were present­ ed a check from the MEDC for more than $352,000 to begin the work.

The high water is caus­ ing flooding to his and neigh­ boring homes. Lubinskas said he has lived on the lake since he was a child. Over the years, con­ struction and additions of ponds by private residents have added to rising water levels. “The lake is approximate­ ly 20 inches too high, in my opinion,” Lubinskas said. “The people on the lake, we need help getting the water out of the lake.” Lubinskas said the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality put in channels on the northeast side of the lake years ago. “Then what they did was put in a big drainage ditch,” Lubinskas said. “From that drainage ditch, at the end, which the road commission came in last year and excavated all the way back to what they call the Clark storm main.

The plan will now move on to the reg­ ular meeting and will also await approval from the Thomapple Township Board, In other business: Council members dis­ cussed the need to make the village hall available to use by the public. Up to now, most public meetings at the village hall have had a staff member or a council member present during in order to secure the premises after the meetings are over. The coun­ cil is interested in updating security access to the hall so that staff and council mem­ bers’ presence won t always be necessary. The village manager is awaiting esti­ mates on the cost for implementing digital lock systems to the village hall. Currently, all requests made for the use of the village hall by the pub­ lic have been able to be met. The village is leaning toward providing each mem­ ber of the council a tablet for village business and is await­ ing an estimate on the final cost of providing and main­ taining the tablets. There has been a delay in approving the village budget for the upcoming year.

Aquatic invasive species have been found in lakes nearby that are not in Gun Lake, invasive species have been found in Gun Lake that do not belong in other lakes. The boat wash will be benefi­ cial in keeping species where they belong, or reducing the spread of invasive species, if boaters use the wash station when entering or exiting the lake. Presently, the Gun Lake Tribe, in conjunction with MSU and the Barry Conservation District, spon­ sors a portable boat wash event at the state park each year called a “landing blitz.” It promotes education regarding aquatic invasive species while offering an opportunity to wash watercraft. "The vast majority of peo­ ple truly care about keeping our lake clean and healthy.” GLPA Board of Directors member Deb Masselink said. “So, putting in a permanent boat wash is just an natural extension of that.” The boat wash will be sim­ ilar to a coin-operated pres­ sure-wand car wash, but will be free to the community. It will be located on the right side of the drive into the main boat ramp in the park­ ing area. Yankee Springs Township is crafting an ordinance ask­ ing residents to wash their boats if a boat wash is avail­ able. Two years ago, a boat wash station was installed on Upper Crooked Lake in Barry Township, the first such wash in southern Michigan. ft® Sai -X iS .

The church ministry was started in 1953 by Pastor Dean Overholt and his wife, Almah, under the direction of the United Brethren in Christ Church, according to a press release. They originally gathered in the Old Time Methodist Church on Whitneyville Avenue south of 52nd Street, which was unused at that time, fixing up the grounds and the church. A year later, a strip of land on Whitneyville near 48th Street became available and was purchased by the Overholts for $500 on behalf of the congregation. The neighbors to the south offered the basement of their new home for the congregation to meet while raising money to build the new church. In 1960, the cement block church basement was com­ pleted, and the congregation was able to begin meeting in its own building. The flat roof over the basement also served as a stage for the preacher and singers during outdoor drive-in services summer Sunday evenings. Visitors would park on the lawn and listen to the music and message from their cars. The basement served as the sanctuary and class rooms until 1964 when a loan was obtained to finish the church building. In 1973, the congregation $ A •4/ I & & & 1 d Ail M I ... 1^!

The land, totaling, 3.2 acres, is adjacent to property owned by the township. The land is being utilized for a commu­ nity green park project near the library. The landowner, S H Land Company LLC, agreed to sell two parcels, consisting of approximately 2.1 acres to the township for the sum of $185,000. As a part of the purchase agreement, S & H agreed to donate the third parcel of land, consisting of approxi­ mately 1.1 acres to the town­ ship as a charitable contribu­ tion. “These will connect nice­ ly," township supervisor Bryan Harrison said. “We are in the midst of the construc­ tion drawings for the pro­ posed park, and we believe we can throw these right into that design process, and therefore, when we go to actual construction of the park, it is possible to incor­ porate these ” In another resolution vote the board approved amend­ ments to the decades-old Jasonville consent agenda.

JSl �That drain was there for a reason, and if it was open, if the culvert under 66th Street was open, if that pipe was open, the water table would drop.” With imminent fall rains, Lubinskas said he and his neighbors, are increasingly concerned about additional flooding. “I’ve talked to Ken Yonker of the drainage commission for a couple years now, and the people that live north of 66th Street are part of that drainage that that storm drain is on,” Lubinskas said. “I why don’t understand Campau Lake isn’t a part of that, because we are the ones most affected by it bein broke.” Kent County . Drain Commissioner Ken Yonker was in attendance at the meeting and responded to Lubinskas. “The Clark Drain was established actually for the sod farm,” Yonker said. “It was not a main tributary for water to leave that lake.” Yonker said there were several hypothetical reasons why the lake levels may be high, but to really know what was happening, an engineer­ ing firm would have to be hired to perform a study. “Last winter was cold, the winter before, we had a lot of rain, we had a lot of rain this spring, our water tables are higher than they've ever been right now,” said Yonker. “The ground is saturated. The last couple of days, we’ve had 6 inches of rain this week. We're seeing it in all of our drains, all of our retention ponds, so with the aquifers that are high and full, it's possible that that lake is going to be higher, and the ground around it sat­ urated. So, any rain you get is going to flow to the low spot, which is the lake. That's one factor that could be there.” Another factor he suggest­ ed is the growing number of seawalls put in by homeown­ ers due to heavy boat traffic * * 1 * ‘2 a ®«isjisj ' •» > ta i Mtig ’ i ite s s -1 I AUK ■ I Bi ■ have to be determined through an engineering study before anything could be done/ he added. “There is a way we could make it a part of the drain, but it would be a long process, with a separate assessment roll for the lake and a separate assessment roll for the district. When the district had work done, they would all pay for it. If the lake improvement was done, just the lake people would pay for it, because they are the ones that would benefit from it.” Another angle he said would be to go through a court order for a lake level study, “That would be the better way, because I guarantee it,” he said, “once you open that thing up into a drainage district, there’s going to be half of those people who will be mad because the lake’s get­ ting lower and the other half are going to be glad because it is getting lower, so you're going to have a big fight and it will end up in court any­ way.” supervisor Township Bryan Harrison asked Yonker if ponds near the northeast drain had any impact. “There's no ponds that are feeding into that,” Yonker responded, Harrison asked about the cost of a study. Yonker esti­ mated that the cost would be between $2,000 and $3,000, or about $5,000 to make it a court-ordered lake level. Harrison told Lubinskas he should continue working with the drain commission to resolve the drain issue. In related business, the board invited Yonker to address them regarding a res­ olution to authorize him to expend money for the maintenance and repair ot the Sewell Drain, near 76th Street and Whitneyville Road. Harrison asked Yonker how property owners would be assessed once the work is done, “A district will be drawn up at this point after we have * most affected by it being broke. H Bob Lubinskas, Caledonia Township resident project,” Yonker said. “Then engineers will go through and draw up the districts and see what properties actually drain into that drain, and then the people will be notified of their participation in that district, and then at that time, the assessment will be put together at the same time, so they will be able to look at where they are in the bound­ aries and what their assess­ ment will be on that proper­ ty” “It’s described in the reso­ lution as the Sewell Drain, but we don't know what that district is,” Harrison said. “Not as this point,” answered Yonker. “We have the old boundaries, but since then, there has been some revamping of the code, and now because of the technolo­ gy we have, instead of fol­ lowing the just the property lines, now we have to do it by contour. “If we approve this tonight, I just want to under­ stand, this is a good case study in sense of its small dollar and small scale,” said Harrison. “But the implica­ tions are large if we continue to hear from people, and I want to make sure that we don’t approve in essence, a blank check, not knowing how many residents are affected. It’s easy enough to do on a couple thousand dol­ lars, but if we’re looking at people approaching us for other amendments, I'm not comfortable getting into the practice of approving some­ thing without more detailed information.” “I hear that, and I hear that all the time,” said Yonker. “That's the way the law is written. That is the order that we’ve got to go in, and the reason for that is, when Are you seeking part time work? Caledonia Community Schools has 2nd shift openings for Custodial Aides. Pay starts at $12.04 per hour. DUTIES: a 1 General cleaning and care of buildings • Painting, minor repairs, • Snow removal when necessary • Other duties as assigned I |r I Ir rfs J I 104892 role or my job.” Yonker retorted. “I've got to just fol­ low the processes laid out by law.” The board motioned to table the resolution for fur­ ther review. “Once you open that thing up into a drainage district, there’s going to be half of those people who will be mad because the lake’s getting lower and the other half are going to be glad because it is getting lower, so you’re going to have a big fight and it will end up in court anyway.” Ken Yonker, Kent County Drain Commissioner Bryan, before you call a vote, there’s two options,” Yonker said. “That’s all you can do, legally, by law. You've got two options, and I explained them to you. if you deny this then I have to move forward, because I have a complaint, so then I'll go back to the people and say the township is not going to do this, and now I'm going to have to have you get your petitions signed.” “We are not denying it,” Harrison said. “Well you're tabling it,” Yonker responded. “I can’t keep putting it off. You've got two options to choose ll It makes no difference to me. Yonker said. “I'm not going to get flooded - they are.” Although board members leaned toward the petition option, the motion was to table the resolution. They voted to table it for further review and discussion. Lubinskas took the oppor­ tunity to respond during closing public comments. What's the next step for the people at Campau Lake?” Lubinskas asked. “Do we sign a petition, hire an attor­ ney, file a complaint against the drain commission and then it comes back through here? Or is the township going to help us do this? What should we do as lake association and homeowners at Campau Lake?” “Ken made the comment that that drain was put in for the sod farm. That sod farm wasn't there until the late ‘60s. That drain was put in in the ‘30s, and that drain was put in here to help get water out of Campau Lake. That drain is broke because it was not maintained properly. Now that is the [fault of the ] drain commission. They didn't have somebody go out there twice a year with a brush hog and just brush out that area, or that pipe would be wide open today.” suggested Harrison Lubinskas file a formal com­ plaint with the county drain commission in order to start the process. He also suggest­ ed Lubinskas continue fol­ lowing the Sewell Drain situ­ ation, as a case study of how the process works and plays out.

Three and a half minutes into the fourth quarter Bronkema connected with Jack Snider on a 10-yard touchdown pass that put the Scots up 20-14. The Buccaneers quickly answered that deficit, evening the score with a 53-yard touchdown run by quarterback Collin Takas and then taking the lead with 4:40 to go on an 83-yard touchdown run by Connor Worthington and kicker Teague Wilson's extra-point kick. Bronkema also gave the Scots the lead in the opening quarter, scoring on a 3-yard run with 3:30 left in the first quarter.

Kellogg/ Delton Kellogg/ Thornapple Hastings scored a 106-79 win over the Caledonia/ I we II/Sou th Christian girls in the Community Education and Recreation Center pool. The current DK/TK/ Hastings girls are chasing their first conference cham­ pionship, including junior Daisy Nowinsky who keenly remembers the CLS girls besting her team by half a point her freshman year (2016) to capture a conference title in the Viking program's first season. “It feels really good and really rewarding that all of our hard work is paying off,” Nowinsky said after the win. “It was really nice because they thought they were going to beat us and we got the last word. Our freshmen year, they beat us by half a point. and to beat them and rebound it just felt good. It gave us hope for conference." The two teams are already looking forward to a rematch back in the same pool at the conference meet in November. The 2017 confer­ ence meet was the last time Nowinsky swam a competi­ tive race in the 100-yard backstroke before Thursday. That was a big part of the plan that DK/TK/Hastings head coach Carl Schoessel came up with to try and get his team a few extra points.

It was a good day, and the girls should be proud of what they put together.” “What I saw out there today was our team giving max effort, on a tough course, under challenging conditions. Our girls are strong physical­ ly and mentally, and they are not afraid to go into the hurt box. When they are racing I really don’t care about the time the clock shows, and we cannot control how fast the other teams are running, so what I’m looking for is a look in their eyes that lets me know they are fully engaged in competing, and that they are determined to do whatever they can do on the day.

The program is called ALICE, an acronym for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate. It equips teachers, staff and students to respond to emergencies in the schools that involve active attackers. In response to what they had learned, the officers plan to take the next steps. Every day, schools are entrusted to provide a safe and healthy learning envi­ ronment. Families and com­ munities expect schools to keep their children safe from all threats. Unfortunately, more recently those have included crimes of violence. Most schools have what is called an emergency operat­ ing procedure that includes courses of action and describes how students and staff can effectively respond to an active-shooter situation to minimize injury and loss of life. Teachers and administra­ tors have a responsibility to anticipate potential dangers and to take precautions to protect their students from these dangers. The district is planning to implement the ALICE train­ ing program and equip all schools to be as safe as pos­ sible, should a situation arise. The training will com­ mence with teachers learning in a two-hour online course, The resource officers will then train teachers through a scenario-based learning pro­ gram. The teachers will, in tum, equip the students with the knowledge they need to be alert and respond appropriately. “These are life lessons for survival,” Stein said. A public forum will be planned, and parent letters will be sent with more infor­ mation. In other business, the board was presented with the results of the 2017-18 audit. Board members said they were happy with the outcome, and the district was in a good place. High School Principal Tony Petersen recognized two students for their outstanding academic achievements. He introduced senior Turner Halle and junior Emma VanSprange and awarded them with certifi­ cates of recognition.

In further business, the fact that the student count had increased was pro­ nounced. Since 90 percentof the school district's funding comes from the number of students attending, this is a positive achievement, The elementary school walkathon raised almost $75,000 this year. Funds raised are used to support elementary teachers and students and provide some of the the extra extra school school activities, activities, such as as author author visits, visits, assemassem­ such blies, field field days, days, Starbase, Starbase, blies, ArtPrize trips and science projects.

Weeks said. “This process is covered by the DEQ. We can express our concerns or our thoughts, which we did, but that is all that we can do on that.” Weeks said the village expressed its concents for the safety and well-being of the community, as it does in all issues, and looked to ensure a thorough review of the issue is being completed. He said Bradford White officials have been very open through­ out the cleanup, and he expects to meet with repre­ sentatives from the company again soon.

Information will also be made available at the Thomapple Kellogg School and Community Library, and online at michigan.gov/deq. r r e �41 What we're asking is to take the levy higher than the 18 mills because we predict our community will continue to grow and expand, as we have in the last 10 to 15 years. As that occurs, it gives us the hedge to keep that millage rate right at 18. So, it doesn't matter what we levy. If we levy 80 mills, it doesn’t matter; we can only statutori­ ly collect 18 mills. So, we’re asking the voters to restore that 18 mills, because we have used that as one-third of our operations revenue that we have been relying on ,l^'' \\ A s' l*< kN S? ' V f. NS! ft ' NS S since 1994.” Martin reiterated that at no point will this millage affect homeowners, just non-home­ stead property owners. “Essentially school fund­ ing has not been keeping up with the rate of inflation,” Martin concluded, “So, what we’re trying to do is protect the funding source that we have through the Headlee millage rollback, and we’re asking that our community support us by keeping us at 18 mills this Nov. 6.” In other business, engineer Jon Moxie reported that the sewer and wastewater proj­ ect is coming to an end. Asset management plans are being finalized for the waste­ water treatment plant and collection systems, and they are working on wish-list items for remaining funds. Road construction for the Village Station condos is complete, and a meeting was held Oct.1 with villagestaff to develop a punch list of finishing-touch items, Pre-construction activities for the Hanover Town Homes project are wrapping up. The downtown parking improvement project has been on the back burner with the sewer and wastewater project closing. However, plans are ready to again begin working in earnest to get the project under way, and and meetings meetings will will be be schedsched­ uled uled with with village village staff staffto todisdis­ cuss strategies. Work is under way on the green-space community green-space project. The Kinsey Street project plans shouldbe announced in the next few months. Parallel parking is planned for the south side of 92nd Street between Dobber Dobber Wenger and the library as a part of the South Rodgers Court improvement project. Council members worked on fine-tuning wording on a pending ordinance regarding the operation of golf carts in the village.

Some might think this is an indication of trouble, but for TK, it is a demonstration of safety, prevention and care A school resource officer’s responsibilities include safe­ ty, mentorship and assistin staff members. The program in TK has been successful due to the establishment of relationships and connecting with the students. Knowing kids and supporting them before they get into difficult situations is the key to pre­ vention . Tony Stein has worked for TK as the school resource officer for more than two years. He is a retired Barry County Sheriff's sergeant and served 16 years in Middleville specifically. “Stein was so successful in building positive relation ships with the students and parents, that the benefit was obvious to us.” Superintendent Rob Blitchok said. Blitchok went on to explain that five buildings and 3JZOO students arc too much for one person to get to know all of the students and build relationships with them. Therefore, the need to hire a second resource officer and build a team for the ben­ efit of the schcKils was a no-brainer. This year, recently retired sheriff’s detective. detective, Jeff “Chewy Nieuwenhuis joined Stein in serving the district. The two men have known each other since 1991 and had worked together to * better the community for years prior to their present workin arrangement. Nieuwenhuis had previously served as a liaison officer for TK and said he enjoyed the positive attitude he found there. In his 29 years of ser­ vice in the community, he was assigned to a task force that dealt with child abuse, homicide and sex crimes involving children. When it came time to add to the school resource officer team, previous school super­ intendent Tom Enslen recom­ mended Nieuwenhuis. Because so many staff and community members had such positive experience working with Nieuwenhuis, he was the natural choice. Most school resource offi­ cers work part time and share wages with police depart ments or sheriff ’s offices. TK school district believes it is important enough to pay their school resource officers full time so they can focus on the students. “Now I am here full-time I feel like I belong and can make contacts and commit­ ments, because 1 am part of the team,” Nieuwenhuis said He said he is enjoying interaction with the kids in a positive way, which he said is a big difference from his old job.I When asked if he had any really great moments yet this year, Nieuwenhuis respond ed, “I haven’t had any specif ic stories.

It can be challenging to achieve your financial objec­ tives. Fortunately, you don’t have to o it alone - but when should you seek help? Here are some of the key life events in which you might be able to benefit from the services of a financial professional: First professional job Eventually, you will land that first job, which will offer benefits and a 401 (k) or sim­ employer-sponsored ilar retirement plan. Since you may not have any experience with a 401 (k), you may have several questions: How much should I contribute? What sorts of investments should 1 choose? When should 1 change my investment selec­ tions? A financial professional can help you review your plan and explain the aspects that may affect your invest­ ment choices. Marriage - When you get married, you and your spouse may decide to merge your finances, including your investments. But if each of you brings similar investments to the table, you might create some redundancies. A financial professional can look at your respective port­ folios and recommend ways to diversify. Generally, the more diversified you are, the >1 $ § is $$ ^5' $ tLy s .s Ji I>7, < IS tH.SI each year from your retirement accounts? To choose an annual withdrawal rate that's appropriate for your needs, you should consider several factors: howr much you have in your retirement accounts, how much Social Security you’ll receive, what other sources of income (such as part-time work or consulting) you might have, your age at retirement, your spouse's projected retirement assets. your retirement lifestyle, and so on. It might not be easy for you to consider all these elements and then arrive at a suitable withdrawal rate, but a financial professional has the experience, training and technology to help determine a figure that could work for you. These aren't all the life events that may lead you to contact a financial professional, but they should give you a pretty good idea of the type of a^oianw assistance jvu you wuiu could expect over time. So, consider reaching out for the help you need, when you need it. Doing so could help make your life easier as you move toward your financial goals, protection greater your against market downturns that primarily hit one type of asset class. (However, while diversification can help reduce the impact of market volatility, it can't guarantee profits or protect against all losses.) Children - Once you have children, you'll have new responsibilities - and you'll have some new financial be issues that should addressed. If something hap­ pened to you, could your children still have the same lifestyle and educational opportunities? Would they even be able to stay in the same home? To help ensure your children’s security, you may need to add more life and disability insurance, While life insurance could help pay for your children's education, you also should prepare for education costs as if you will be around. So you may want to consider an education savings investment such as a 529 plan. A financial professional can help you with your insurance and education-funding needs.

The Buccaneers best­ ed Hudsonville 4-0 Wednesday, leaving the Scots and Bucs tied atop the conference standings at 8-22. Caledonia scored a 4-2 win in its match with the Buccaneers in Grand Haven, but saw the Buccaneers rally from two goals down to tie the Scots 2-2 in their match in Caledonia Sept. 27. The Scots also had a lead get away Wednesday, part of the reason for the subdued celebration of the program’s first-ever OK Red Conference title. Fighting Scot junior cap­ tain Joshua Williams knocked a bicycle kick past Rockford keeper Aaron Carr in the opening minutes of the ballgame. It was a lead the Scot held until an unfortunate handball at the top of their box gave Rockford in the opening minutes of the second half. Durfee hit the PK past Scot keeper Arie Jackman to even the score. “We cleared the ball pretty good and played it out of the back well,” Caledonia senior defender Mason Denczek said of his team holding the Rams to just the one goal. Denczek, a three-year varsity player, was one of nine Caledonia seniors honored on senior night Wednesday, before the final bailgame of the 2018 regular season. Caledonia head coach Carl Winterbottom would have liked to see his guys not even be in position for an acciden­ tal handball in the box to cost them an outright conference title. He had some “tough love'’ for his guys in the hud­ dle at the end of the match. ll You know what you're getting against Rockford, Winterbottom said. “They’re absolute athletes. They're American. They’re going to kick the ball, and they’re going to run after it, and they’re going to chase you like dogs. They’re going to run, and run, and run, and run, and run, and run. Players have to be able to deal with that pressure. We talked about that. We watched it. They have got to be able to deal with that. “Tonight we gave them a PK. If that gets defended a little bit better. It didn’t start with the pk, it started with we played a long balk they played a long balk we played a long balk they played a long ball, it got passed out wide and then the PK hap­ pens. How do we back track to they played a long ball and we get it down and move it, rather than just kicking it back. That is what I’m talking about with long ball situations.” ’ ll There were too many long balls from us tonight,” he added. “We have definite­ ly got to tidy up our play a little bit. At the start of the year, when they boys brought the ball down and played we were winning 8-1, 7-1, six, we were banging in goals because they played the way they can play. That is soccer. It is setting them up to be successful wherever they go. Play hard, get the ball down and play.” Rockford closes out the OK Red season at 7-2-3. The Rams beat the Scots 2-1 in their first conference match of the season. Both teams played fast and physical as rain dropped down throughout much of the second half.

Every single one of them has just been flippin’ awesome.” MANY THANKS TO THIS YEAR’S COLOR TOUR SPONSORS: From now on a win FALL COLOR TOUR It is okay winning the Red, and they deserve to win the Red, but as a coach you’re always looking for more.

A <\ Y, fer<S - S kt Sr life I a* am • I*• J• - ’ Tanett Hodge Staff Writer A person doesn’t have to hang around Thornapple Kellogg schools for too long before hearing the surname Thaler or running into a Thaler family member. The school district has employed five of them at this point, and the schools have reaped the benefits. Doug and Cindy Thaler have lived in the Middleville area for years and raised their seven children in the school district. The Thaler children all graduated from TK and have been involved in many extracurricular activities. When asked how so many of them ended up in success­ ful careers, they attest to the influence of their parents in their lives. They tell stories of sacrifice, discipline, involvement and service to others. In fact, teaching has been modeled for them for generations. Their great-grandmother taught at McFall, their grandfather taught Sunday school, and their mom and dad taught Bible classes for as long as they can remember. “Faith in God and servant­ hood were modeled by our parents,” Josh Thaler, a thirdgrade teacher at Lee Elementary said in an inter­ view. This is Josh’s fifth year at Lee. He also coaches TK freshman and JV basketball and fifth and sixth grade youth basketball. The TK Thaler teachers gladly surround their dad (or father-in-law) for a photo. Pictured are (from left) Sam, Rebecka, Doug, Melissa, Josh and Jessica Thaler. Samuel Thaler is the new physical education teacher at Lee Elementary and is an avid sports fan. He previously taught in Grand Haven, When the position became available, he jumped at the chance. “I couldn’t pass on the opportunity to be a part of the district, athletics and community that has played such a large role in shaping me into the man I am today, he said. Rebecka, second youngest of the siblings, just took a job as a para-professional at McFall Elementary, “I grew up watching and helping my mom baby-sit. 1 just learned to love on and help kids naturally,” Rebecka said. She gets to assist in the classroom of her sister-in­ law, Jessica Thaler, a new Young Fives teacher this year. Jessica also helps to coach the youth basketball league with her husband, Josh. Jessica originally went to college to get a degree in physical therapy, but took a job as a classroom para-pro­ fessional and fell in love with teaching. She went back to school and got her teach­ ing certification, and the rest is history. “Children are a gift from God, and 1 get to be that per­ son that makes them feel loved and capable,” Jessica said when asked why she likes what she does. TK also employs Melissa Thaler, who is married to Isaiah. Melissa is physical education teacher at the high school and health teacher at the middle school. She said she wants to help students understand they can over­ come, no matter what the road blocks in their lives might be. The Thalers were asked what they liked to do togeth­ er as a family outside of school. “Eat,” was the resounding answer. They like to get together for big Sunday din­ ners every week. They also enjoy gathering to celebrate birthdays and play in Gus Macker tournaments. Many of them travel together and have fond memories of sum­ mer vacations, camping and being involved in the Barry County Fair. When answering the question about challenges they encounter in the district, Jessica mentioned the lack of cultural and racial diversity and the need to bridge the cultural gaps. Samuel said he notices a need for group support and counseling for those who come from homes with lower incomes or family instability, “We need to make sure they know they have someone in their lives they can go to,” Samuel said. When asked why they like working in the district, they all agreed that TK was a great district to work in because the community works in conjunction so closely with the schools. “Middleville and TK are a team,” Samuel said. “It makes sense to be part of the school if I'm part of the area.” Samuel also said the sib­ lings were looking forward to raising their kids all together in the same district. When asked if it was diffi­ cult to switch gears from being siblings to being pro­ fessional co-workers, the answer was, “No, not at all. We think it’s better that we are all so close.” “We are very proud of all of our kids,” Doug Thaler said. “It is great to see them getting where they were des­ tined to be.” ••• Nominations sought for Governor’s Service Awards t « < 1® -1*0 one ij VI SB ft fl if • V .

County Kent The Sheriff’s Department inves­ tigated the forgery com­ plaint against Vandenberg. A warrant was issued Oct. 13, he was arrested Oct. 15, and arraigned in the 63r^ District Court on Oct. 17. He is free on a $10,000 bond. L -­ The complaint against Vandenberg was lodged by a client in September. She suspected he had given her forged documents regarding child custody in her divorce proceedings. The court order she received, which was in her Timothy Vandenberg, an attorney from Caledonia, is free on $10,000 bond after fijs arrest on a charge of felony forgery favor, purportedly came from Circuit Judge T.J. Ackert in the Family Division. hasn’t “Vandenberg admitted he did this, but there is strong evidence indicating he did" Kent County Sheriff’s Department Sgt. Joel Roon said. Detectives are investigat­ ing approximately five other cases with the potential for additional victims who were Vandenberg’s clients, Roon said. The cases include divorces, child custody and parental visitation. “One of those cases was brought to our attention by a judge who became suspicious about certain documents and felt somethin a was wrong," he said. “And we a*so neec^ to closer into other areas where he filed documents." Roon said the sheriff’s department is coordinating efforts with surrounding jurisdictions to look into Vandenberg’s past cases. Sue Van Liere Staff Writer Caledonia Township resi­ dent Terry Crumback. who resides on the north side of Campau Lake, voiced his concerns at Wednesday's township board meeting about rising water levels on Campau Lake and the detri­ mental effects it is having on his property. After heavy rains in the spring. Crumback said he had to wait six weeks before he was able to mow his satu­ rated lawn. “I don't know what's A oing to be done on the drain al the northeast side or north­ west side," Crumback said. “But, we never used to have these issues. Somethings not working right. When we get four or five inches of rain, and you see the water is seven or eight inches below the dock and now all of the sudden it’s on the wood of the dock and four weeks later, it’s still right up there on the wood. Something's not working right, and so •• we’re re almost almost going going to to have have to to we do something something with with our our yard, yard. do because in another nine years, we're going to lose probably about a quarter acre. We have a half-acre now.” Trustee Dale Hermenet told Crumback that similar concerns were brought up by some of his neighbors at the Oct. 3 meeting, and Kent County Drain Commissioner Ken Yonker happened to be present on another issue and heard the complaints. Hermenet said affected residents were urged to file a formal complaint with the drain commission and work w ith Yonker in order to take the proper steps toward a resolution. He suggested Crumback do the same, In related business, the board, minus president Bry an Harrison and clerk Jennifer Venema, who were absent, voted to turn down a resolution authorizing the Kent County Drain Commission to expend money for the main­ tenance and repair of the Sewell Drain. The board's decision w as based on w hat they felt was a lack of infor­ mation provided regarding the scope of the project. “Just as a notice in my conversation with the drain commissioner last week, I indicated the unlikeliness of this passing the board tonight.” Treasurer Richard Robertson said. Robertson said Yonker expressed frustration, saying the Caledonia Township board is the only one to not pass such as resolution. The position of our board was ‘No. no, no.'" Robertson said. “We wanted to be more transparent and give people an opportunity to know what's coming, as opposed to us deciding for them. “We could approve it, but he had more steps he had to provide us, and he chose not to provide us with all of the pertinent information," Trustee Greg Zoller said, See WATER, page 4 Plans for bond, public improvement presented to Caledonia school board Sue Van Liere Staff Writer Plans for bond and public improvement fund expenditures were reviewed by the Caledonia Community Communitv Schools Board of Education Monday.

He also requested a list of needs for implementation, over and above what the bond fund could cover, to be allotted from the public improvement fund. A list of planned expendi­ tures was presented by Superintendent Assistant Darrell Kingsbury. The list was broken into two parts: Bond fund expenditures and those expenditures to be allo­ cated to the public improve­ ment fund. Plans for the bond fund, expected to total $1.46 mil­ lion, include replacement of HVAC controls on primary equipment, replacement of remaining roof sections, replacement of a chiller and replacement of the fire panel with code compliant equip­ ment, all at Duncan Lake Middle School; repaving the bus loop around the main parking lot and repaving the bus drop-off at Kraft Meadows Middle School; t * the track and replacin upgrading the softball fields. Public Improvement fund plans, expected to total $1243,255, include three new buses, upgraded build build-­ ing security (pending a grant request), PA systems for the Duncan Lake complex, traffic study and possible solution at 92n ncJ^ Street, adminisadminis­ tration office renovation because of environmental issues, new' signs for five buildings, replacement of wall flashings in entry and sloped windows or roof cover at Kraft Meadows Middle School, built-in office work areas at Dutton Elementary, replacement of bathroom floors at Kettle Lake and Caledonia Elementary, addi­ tions and replacements of card access systems, replace­ ment of internal door hard- ware at Duncan Lake Elementary, replacement of metal fascia at Dutton Elementary, GPS system for buses, replacement of boiler room doors at Dutton and Kettle Lake Elementary, resurfacing of tennis courts at Duncan Lake Middle, upgrades to the sound system at the football stadium and upgrades to the high school gym speakers. “We have also applied for a school safety grant from the Michigan State Police, for about $467,000." Kingsbury said. “If we get that grant, it's going to be a huge win for us as a district because that money is going to be used to pay for very important secu­ rity updates to the facilities.

Kingsbury spoke of three short-term options. “Mow completely, that was the first thing that came to my mind - take it down,” Kingsbury said. "Then the other option is leave it natu­ ral. Or the third: Identify the preservation and mowing areas.” Kingsbury said that staff­ ing has been a problem, with only one person performing all of the mowing and landscape work at the high school. Caledonia High School science teacher Ben Howell was invited to present his side of the "weed dilemma.” "1 have a strong passion for our areas outside of the schools,” Howell said. "We’ve talked about the claims people have had about our natural areas that’s led to the push for that turf grass. Let’s talk about the benefits. It’s aesthetically pleasing, and it does look nice. That’s where you have picnics. That’s where you play catch. That’s where you hang out with your family. But then we look at other side.” Howell explained that the design of the school had pur­ posely left areas between Kraft and the high school as natural growth habitats. "It was seeded with native grasses and wildflowers and was intentional planning,” Howell said. "For many peo­ ple they're like, ‘That’s a bunch of weeds. But, to Howell, it’s a thing of beauty. He reiterated that the areas were planted inten­ tionally and provide habitats for many forms of plant and wildlife. "There are at least 18 desired plant species that were planted in there,” Howell said. Howell also integrates the areas of natural growth into his classroom lessons. He explained that a favorite activity of his students is gathering praying mantis eggs from the milkweed, bringing them into the class­ 5 M to B#1 (i* IP "» 'A' I V if r r . room for observation. After the eggs hatch, students release the insects back into their natural habitat. "These are opportunities we only get when we have these types of habitats,” Howell said. Another argument Howell made for preserving the natural growth is that if less . ... mowing, less fertilization and less maintenance of the grounds is needed, it adds to the bottom line. In other business, Martin reported that the board completed a superintendent evaluation training course last week. The board is required by the state to complete an annual evaluation of the superintendent in the areas of professional practice, student growth and district wide progress. The process also includes a self-evaluation by the superintendent. Martin and the board discussed timelines and key dates for the evaluation process, as well as benchmarks and checkpoints for formal and informal evaluation. Board members approved a motion to adopt the MASB evaluation tool to conduct the evaluation, and named Kyle Clement as the voting delegate and Chris Behm for the alternate voting delegate for the 2018 MASB Delegate Assembly. iDuring public comments, two parents of former Caledonia students described incidents of bullying that their children experienced as middle and high school stu­ dents in the district. The situations were so distressing that they pulled their children out of the school system and transferred them to other area school districts. They made a plea to the board and Martin to take action to ensure that disciplinary guidelines are followed and action is taken to prevent this from happening to other students. Board president Marcy White expressed her gratitude to them for addressing this issue and told them that it will be discussed with administrators and the super­ intendent will follow up on. Business owner and for­ mer Caledonia school board member Dave Nemmers addressed the board to express opposition to the upcoming Headlee override millage. Nemmers said he has joined a group of Caledonia citizens opposed to the non-homestead tax increase. "This group is not anti- school, but anti-this millage,” Nemmers said. uWe want more dollars spent in the classroom, more tools for our teachers, better programs foi at-risk students and creative and innovative curriculum. We do believe a fund balance of $10,000,000 is enough and the school is not a bank. (A big bank . account never helped a single student, teacher or parent). ... I believe our community deserves the opportunity to hear from both sides of the issue and to make an informed decision this November. Nemmers suggested that a town hall-type meeting take place to discuss the issue and asked askedfor foraareply replyfrom fromschool school officials by Tuesday. In an ।email Wednesday, he said ‘’he a « « received no reply, Caledonia resident, and former board president, Mike Patterson, also addressed the board with his opposition to the millage, stating concerns that taxing local businesses that consistently support school athletic programs could be a detriment to the district. “I think that now’s not the right time to ask for more money, Patterson said.

The plan is intended to ensure that any expansion of the village's boundaries or services would be done in a responsible mat­ ter. The board also discussed the current health care plan for township EMS employees and whether to change it. There was some apprehension over the cost of the cur­ rent health care plan from trustees Jake Jelsema and Sandy Rairigh. Rairigh said she felt especially uncom­ fortable making township residents pay for health care that was described as a "Cadillac plan.” The board decided to approve the current health care plan for EMS employ­ ees for the next fiscal year with the caveat that other benefit plans will be consid­ ered in the future. •> Call any time for Sun & News classified ads 269-945-9554 or 1-800-870-7085 CALEDONIA ARTS AND CRAFT SHOW i4 * I FREE ADMISSION I NOVEMBER 3, 2018 10AM - 3PM Ik •- I JP fl P I* Sun News I ■I I DUNCAN LAKE MIDDLE SCHOOL .

Trustee Tim Bradshaw read aloud from a document outlining the drain commission code for the petition process. According to the code, the next step will be to request petitions be submitted by affected citizens. At that point, the commissioner would appoint a board of determination, made up of three owners of property in the county, but not in any municipalities in the drain­ age district. The board would then hold a public hearing and determine whether the drain or maintenance and improvement of the drain is necessary for the public health, safety or welfare. The board also determines wheth­ er the municipalities in the drainage district are liable for an assessment at-large. If the panel determines necessity, property owners have 10 days to challenge the determination in circuit court. Townships and other municipalities in the drain­ age district have 20 days after notification of the deter­ mination of necessity to appeal the decision in pro­ bate court. If the necessity is not challenged, there is no other remedy under the drain code to stop a drain project if the proper procedures have flr BAPTIST W Paul Stratton Wayland > I 9 A i * ♦ T4 I • f • •jb i 4 9 4 < d You have been sadly missed from your family & friends & puppy (Hank).Your loving ways & smile will always be remembered.

The next step is for the drain commission to determine the scope of the project and engineer and prepare specifications and plans. Once the scope is deter­ mined, the drain commis­ sioner issues a final order of determination and decides the route and course of the drain and drainage district boundaries. The final order of determi­ nation is then signed, and the drain commissioner gives notice for the receiving of bids to construct, repair or improve the drain. The com­ missioner also gives notice to all property owners and municipalities in the drain­ age district, and publishes notice of the project in a local newspaper. Once bids are received and costs calculated, the drain commissioner holds a day of review and a public hearin to hear any objections to the project, including the apportionment of benefits and assessment of project costs.

According to the surgeon general, in 2015. more than a quarter of students in grades six to 12 had tried e-cigarettes/vapes, and the number appears to be increasing.

Gibson said his proposal was driven by questions from his constituents. “What really got my attention was when I found out they had $100,000 in employee mileage last year, ...” Gibson said. “If we had our own health department, our employees wouldn’t be traveling that much ” He suggested a three-per­ son committee look at what the state requires, consider­ ing number of employees and counties of comparable size. Commissioners David Jackson, Dan Parker and board Chairman Ben Geiger serve on the county board’s health department commit­ tee. Parker didn’t oppose a review of the Barry-Eaton District Health Department, but expressed dismay at the timing. “What I’m concerned about is using our staff,” Parker said, pointing to high-profile projects for a new jail and Commission on Aging facilities, Geiger questioned the funding required to do such a study. • Gibson replied that it would be a volunteer com­ mittee, like a compensation study the county had done, and would require minimal funding, “I don’t think you realize the depth of what you’re asking, Hoot,” Jackson pointed out. “We have $3.5 million in unfunded liabilities that you're asking Barry County to to take take on on part part of of that that debt, debt. We have have history history and and propro­ We grams and and computers computers and and grams systems.

In 2019, our appropriation is $441,737. “$10,144 in 10 years is what our appropriation has gone up. ... Yet some com­ missioners continue to ham­ mer away at the health department.

He also disputed whether many constituents have expressed concerns about the health department, estimat­ ing that maybe five or seven people have questions - but the rest of the county is satisfied with the department, When Gibson began to respond respond to to Jackson, Jackson, Geiger Geiger interrupted him by banging his gavel. “I’m trying to contain my disappointment over over using disappointment using the health department for political purposes, purposes, for for those those political who who want want to to use use the the health health department as a political punching bag before the election on Nov. 6,” Geiger said. “I’m not putting together a kangaroo court to come up with a political solution for the health department!” Gibson tried to speak again. “You’re saying a compensation committee ...” “I’m saying I’m talking,” Geiger interrupted. Vivian Commissioner Conner chastised Geiger for gaveling commissioners out. “When you gavel somebody out, don’t just gavel out somebody you disagree with.” “This is too emotional,” Geiger said. “We don’t have any facts, but we have a con­ sensus that we are going to look at what’s best for tax­ payers - now is not the time.” “Can we table it?” Conner asked. “There’s no motion,” Geiger replied. That’s when Gibson made a motion for a committee to be created to evaluate the district health department, seconded by Commissioner Jon Smelker so it could be discussed. The action triggered a sharp rebuttal from Geiger, who demanded that Gibson describe his motion word by word, then shouted, “You just made one!” Geiger then asked for par­ liamentary inquiry, instruct- ing Clerk Pamela Palmer to Before the close of the read back the motion. meeting, meeting.

Smelker, who pointed out Then Geiger apologized to that the health department Gibson. “If I was a little budget is nearly $450,000 sharp with you, I apologize.” “and we don’t have anything “I’mused to it,” Gibson to say about it,” tried to cobreplied, ble together pieces from the During public comment, disjointed discussion before Jim Enrietti of Barry and after the shouting. Parker said he would second it. Geiger said, “Madam Clerk, read the motion.” Palmer replied, “It’s put together in pieces.” Smelker restated a motion specifying that three com­ missioners look into the health department budget and report back to the county board “to get these questions cleared up.” Parker support­ ed the motion. Geiger cautioned that no other commissioners could go to these meetings to avoid constituting a quorum. That is one of the reasons there’s a problem with communication regarding the health department, commissioners agreed. “That’s one of the issues that makes it difficult,” Geiger said. “Yes, it is, because it says you can go and be quiet and I cannot be quiet,” Smelker remarked, Commissioners laughed, breaking the tension. Geiger said that, as chair­ man, he would put together that ad hoc committee and indicated indicated that Parker, Smelker and Heather Wing would be his choices. In the vote on Smelker's motion, Jackson was the lone dissenter. Township said he heard the comments that just a handful of people are stirring this pot with the health department. “Mea culpa,” he said. “I feel I'm one of them with ques­ tions about the services I receive. If you think there are only seven, surely you're not that naive. You need to get out from behind that circle and into some of the other townships. I suspect you also hear from more than the ter­ rible seven.” Enrietti said the board pro­ vided some entertainment but there were comments that stung about political motiva­ tions and such. “Maybe some of us are glad we haven't marked up those absentee ballots yet.” Antenna Men Digital TV Antennas Cell Phone Boosters 517.646.0439 1 TV ANTENNAS REPAIRS ■ RINSTALLATION, svir/ji $10 MILLION IS ENOUGH VOTE I’AIO I OH III MH I ION IS INOUGH CAMPAIGN ON MILLAGE INCREASE 10MillionlsEnough.com �Page 10/The Sun and News, Saturday, October 20, 2018 Caledonia FFA hog roast another success 13th annual hog roast Saturday, Sept. 29.

Rarer still are newspapers that serve smaller, close-knit communities like the Caledonia and Middleville area. Hometown newspapers, like the Sun & News, are not always profitable ventures but, at J-Ad Graphics, inc., we’re committed to using our larger resources like the Reminder, that readers also receive each week, to help with the advertising revenues that come in from loyal businesses we’re so fortunate to have in the Middleville-Caledonia area community. We believe that community journalism is a vital social asset, that publications like the Sun & News draw us closer together as neighbors. Without a publication like the Sun & News, fundraisers wouldn’t be as successful, turnouts at community events would be lower. Without the Sun & News we wouldn’t know about the joys people in our community celebrate or hear about the untimely passing of friends and ac­ quaintances. Without the Sun & News, we wouldn't oripiuca. McKeowns humbled \ ” ambled by »e™ honors see the great coverage of our local schools or the athletic and artistic accomplishments of our students whose clippings often get posted to the refrigerator door or the family scrapbook. Gone, too, would be the creative and colorful ads that alert us to special shopping deals from our local merchants who, in turn, support those teams, causes, and people who make up the rich fabric of this community. This is our seventh year in which readers are being asked to help us fend off the pressure of burgeoning production costs amidst diminishing advertising revenues. enues. For the past six years, it's been the financial response of our readers that has been a lifeline in our ability to continue publishing the Sun & News. We’re thankful for your loyalty, your contributions, and your readership - that, too, is what makes this fight worth waging.

The proposed ordinance would add a new Section 18.14 permitting the Planning Commission to approve a site plan that only includes the mass grading of a property.

He might like to have a few more, but it’s likely that none of the Fighting Scots soon forget his fifth. It was the biggest goal of the season to this point for the Fighting Scots, as it was the only goal in a 1-0 victory over the visiting Rangers. Streaking up the right side with a little over ten minutes to go in the first half, Caledonia sophomore Evan Johnson beat a Ranger defender to the end line and turned the corner to find space to rifle a pass in front of the FHC net. Junior mid­ fielder Josh Williams was there to slam a shot at the net that ricocheted off Ranger keeper Kyler Williams, Olsen was waiting on the backside to settle the ball and hit the rebound into the open net. “I was kind of hurt right when it happened. 1 had just gotten injured a couple minutes before that,” Olsen said. “Josh took a shot and 1 was following it up. I thought, I'm going to take a touch and then then shoot shoot that, Top left,” the first-year varsity player added with a smile.

He asked to come off two minutes before and I told him no. I told him to man up a little bit. He did very well obviously, with carrying an injury to stick that into the back of the net. But just before that we creat­ ed a few other other opportu­ nities where we could have scored. Josh usually buries that and he hit it straight at the keeper.

The Thomapple Kellogg varsity girls’ cross country team used the home course advantage to edge out South Christian by two points for fourth place for the third time this season. The TK boys were also fifth for the third time in three confer­ ence races this season. That position is where the TK boys and girls each finished in all three of the conference competitions this season.

Reynolds put in a call to senior captain Nathan Kinne to get his team prepped for the move, “He has been great,” Reynolds said of Kinne. “He has been invaluable to me and to those other boys. He takes on a lot and he takes a lot off my shoulders, I know that if I need something done or that leadership to be there he has the ability to do so.” Kinne placed 39th Monday in the boys’ race, finishing in 19 minutes 54.71 seconds, one of only two seniors in the Trojans’ top seven, Sophomore Nick Bushman led the TK boys with a 22nd-place time of 18:02.04. Reynolds said he has seen his sophomore grow a lot in his first cross country season, and sees him as having a shot at qualifying for the state finals if he can put together a good regional race next weekend. “He is a great miler, and a good two-miler, but taking that distance to 5000 meters is a bit more of a task to take on, Reynolds said of Bushman. “I think he has surprised himself with how well he has done, and that kind of feeds into his confi­ dence, realizing that when you look at the OK Gold and it’s such a strong group, coming into this meet he was sitting right around tenth and 66 NOW HIRING CLASS-A GDI I ’ Growth Opportunities - Hiring by Oct 23!

That final margin was the closest the Fighting Scots have been to the Bulldogs since joining the OK Red Conference at the start of the 2016 season. The Bulldogs shutout the Fighting Scots 42-0 the first time they met up in the conference. Grandville scored seven touchdowns against the Scots a year ago. That’s not nothing. Grandville managed to keep a spot ahead of the Caledonia boys in the final OK Red Conference standings though, capping off a 3-3 league season with their win. The Scots end conference play at 1-5, and were 2-7 overall this fall. The Bulldogs were only ahead 14-7 at the half. Junior quarterback Jax Kinninger scored on a 3-yard run with four minutes to go in the first half to pull the Scots within 14-7 thanks in part to Cam Looman’s extra-point kick. Shane Baker had given the Bulldogs as 14-09 lead with touchdown runs of 8 and 43 yards in the first quarter. The Bulldogs came out in the third quarter and added three scores in the final six minutes of the period. Noah Atwell scored on a 9-yard run with 5:41 to go in the third, and Cam Terry tacked on a 56-yard touchdown run a little less than three minutes later.

Tyler Howarth scored the final TD of the season for the Scots, on an 11-yard run. Troy Saylor booted the extra­ point kick, Caledonia had just 141 yards of offense. Kinninger was 3-of-6 passing for 47 yards. Andrew Kuzava rushed nine times for 32 yards and Carson Vanderhoff had six carries for 30 yards. Cam Watrous had two receptions for 43 yards for the Scots. Baker had ten rushes for 102 yards to lead the Bulldog attack. Terry had 12 carries for 89 yards. The 13-yard TD pass was the only throw Bulldog quarterback Poll completed all game. The Bulldogs end the season with an overall record of 3-6, ending a string of four consecutive playoff appearances.

TK is back in the postsea­ son for the first time since 2010. “It is nice knowing some­ thing is coming on the hori­ zon. We have some ideas of who that might be, but not knowing who it might be.

He tipped the ball past TK keeper Auston Ruth, Early in the second half, the Bulldogs’ Justin Riemersma skipped a 45-yard restart off the head of of teammate Andrew Vanlddekinge into the net for a 2-0 Bulldog lead. Byron Center rang one shot hard off the post and another shot slammed off the crossbar before they found the net again. The Bulldogs’ Colten Baker sealed the Trojans’ fate with 16 and a half min- utes to play. A TK defender made a save on his line, but the ball deflected to Baker who blasted a shot by Ruth. Byron Center scored again two minutes later with Blake Lee scoring. The Trojans’ chances to score in the second half were few. With the Bulldogs still ahead just 2-0 midway through the second half, Caden Goudzwaard put a nice through ball ahead for teammate Kale Haywood, but Bulldog defender Owen Hill was able to just outrun him to the ball. TK’s best chance of the second half came from Goudzwaard himself, who charged into the middle from the left side and fired a high shot from about 30 yards out that Bulldog keeper Matthew Richards snagged at the top of his goal. Byron Center earned a spot in Wednesday night’s Division 2 District Semifinals back in Middleville with the win, and defeated Wayland 2-0. There were two shut outs in the district semifinals Wednesday, Gull Lake scored a 6-0 win over Hamilton in the other match in Middleville.

DeVries went over the benefits and shortcomings of PVC pipes compared to ductile iron pipes. PVC pipes are less expensive than ductile iron pipes, but they also last about half as long (PVC pipes last 55 years, ductile pipes last 110 years). The Board voted to approve using ductile pipes for the township water system for the next five years, after which it will again consider what type of pipe to use. “deadend" water mains, of which the which there there are areseven seven ininthe Township. A loop would essentially eliminate a “deadend" water main by connecting it to another water main, reducing the risk of stagnant water. The Board did not make a decision on whether to proceed with the loop project but tabled it for a future meeting in January. DeVries was also consult­ ed on whether or not to use PVC pipes for any future water system construction or repair.

Current board school president Marcy White whose term has expired, is running to retain a seat. Trustee Mike LoMonaco, eight-year board member, has decided not to seek re-election, leaving a second open seat for at least one new board member. Adam Diffenderfer, 39, is a 14-year resident of Caledonia, residing on Cathedral Court SE, Alto. Diffenderfer has served 18-years a senior as applications systems engineer at AiRXOS, a GE venture company, designing avionics systems. Diffenderfer and his wife, Katie, have five adopted children, four of whom attend Caledonia Community Schools, and one who is a sophomore at West Michigan Aviation Academy. Along with serving as youth minister at Redeemer Covenant and Thomapple Covenant churches, Diffenderfer also is a member of the Grand Rapids Men and Boys choir. He also participates in the chess club at St. John’s Home and is a licensed foster parent. Why are you seeking this position? Growing up the son of a college professor and an elementary teacher, it was instilled in me that knowledge is a birthright, not one given but rather pursued. I remember reading how my great grandfather, denied formal education, found a discarded primer and taught himself, using a Pennsylvania bluff as his school “slate." Similarly, two of my great­ grandmothers obtained college degrees in an age when college was not considered an option for a woman. This heritage, this passion was passed on to me and my children, and I want to in turn share it with the students of Caledonia. aor Experience education that qualifies you for the position: 18 years in aerospace, leading cutting-edge technical teams, strategizing new business initiatives, and out-of-the-box finding solutions, all the while federal, engaging international, and industry agencies and committees. Twelve years serving in church youth ministry. Adoptive dad to Black, Latino, Asian and special needs kids. Previously licensed foster parent, with training in trauma response. Frequent tutor in math, science, history, and English to kids from elementary to college. What are your biggest concerns, and how will you respond to those concerns? We must address the growing academic deficit in Caledonia schools. In 2017, over one-third of our thirdthrough eighth-grade students tested below M-STEP proficiency levels in math and language arts. In fifth through seventh grade math, the numbers increase to over 50 percent. Even in high school, where we sport a 95 percent graduation rate, barely half of our students met SAT benchmarks. As trustee, I will lead a task force of educators, parents and business leaders to recommend aa decisive course of action to stem this tide while we can still make a difference for for this generation. What improvements would you like to see made? No two students are created alike, each with unique learning styles and goals. While there may be practical constraints to what all we can do, we should, as much as is possible, investigate both new and old ideas and pursue those with a record of success. We need to listen to our teachers and take their recommendations to enable their success. We already have a great starting track record, from the alternative school year at Emmons Lake to the bubble thinking" at Dutton. Just as one size doesn't fit all in learning style, learning objectives are different for each student. The role of education is to equip each student for the future. So while we still need to establish a strong common foundation, the student must have the freedom to build upon this foundation based on his or some her vision. For students, this path leads through college. For others, this is through the trades and apprenticeship. But they are all equally valid and play an important role in a thriving economy. That is why I Gov. embrace Snyder's J Jason Saidoo Marcy White vision vision for for trade trade education, education, just just as as II believe believe college college should should be be available available to to each each student student with with the the passion passion to to pursue it. We need to make sure sure these tnese students students are are launched launched successfully successfully to to whichever path they choose, Who is your political mentor or model or hero? I would have to say I've always always had had aa fascination fascination with John Adams. He was a man of passion and vision, who worked relentlessly to see that vision realized. He was was also a man of principle, who who was was not not afraid afraid to to stand stand up for what was right, even if it cost him his popularity, his career, his family, even his life. In this political climate, we need more of this kind of selfless public service. service. What innovative idea would would you you pursue pursue if elected: elected: Education Education is is a community’s investment into its own future growth and economy. I would like to explore that concept further, What if those kids who want to pursue the trades could get high school credited apprenticeships through our own Caledonia businesses? What if we placed our $10 million reserve fund into a still accessible, but higher return, investment vehicle and then use the interest to fund scholarships for kids to go to community college? What if we worked with our chamber of commerce and other businesses in Kent County to incentivize our graduates, whether through or venture scholarships capital for trades, with the understanding that the student will return and contribute to our community? I believe that enrollment will naturally grow if we first head off this academic crisis and, simultaneously, think of creative ways we as a business community can invest in our graduates, thus stimulating Caledonia’s stimulating economic future. In my questionnaire response, I list several several ways ways II think think we we could could see see this this happen. happen.

What is your passion as an educator? My passion for education is simple. I want a chance to touch students’ lives as I was touched by my teachers and coaches. Our students are our future, and what better way to try to make a small differ­ ence by helping kids find their true greatness? I wasn’t the A-student, but my teach­ ers and coaches at Middleville gave me the foundation to be successful because they gave me knowledge, they encour­ aged me to be confident and they prepared me to be a critical thinker. I believe that those three things are the key to education (confidence, critical thinking, knowledge). Tell us about your family: I married my high school sweetheart, Sarah Wolf.

Michael Gower Saturday,Oct. 27. Sgt. Gower was injured while serving in Iraq. The community kickoff event signifies the start of the building process and will introduce Sgt. Gower to the community. The event will be at Thomapple Kellogg High School, 3885 Bender Road, Middleville, at 10 a.m. (Check-in begins at 9:30 a.m.) The public is welcome to attend. I ■>1 A Kalamazoo native, Sgt. Gower was serving as an infantryman with A Company, 2n< nc^* Battalion, 3rd Infantry, 3rd Stryker Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division, when the vehicle he was riding in rolled over a two-ton, subsurface improvised explosive device Aug. 2, 2007. Sgt. Gower injured his back; fractured both feet, his tibia and fibula and he sustained a severe traumatic brain injury as a result of the blast. The home being built for Sgt. Gower, 35, will feature more than 40 major special adaptations, such as wid- ened doorways for wheel­ chair access, a roll-in shower, and kitchen amenities that include pull-down shelving and lowered countertops. The home also will alleviate the mobility and safety issues associated with a traditional home, including navigating a wheelchair through narrow hallways or over thresholds, or reaching for cabinets that are too high. HFOT has built more than 260 homes since the organi­ zation’s inception in 2004 including the first such home for Cpl. Josh Hoffman. That home, between Hastings and Middleville, was completed I If I in January 2009. To date, six homes have been completed in Michigan by the organiza­ tion. Homes For Our Troops relies on contributions from donors, supporters and corporate partners for the build­ ing of each veteran’s home. Community members may hold fundraisers or make donations. More on how to get involved or to make a donation can be found at hfotusa.org. More about Sgt. Gower’s story has been posted at hfotusa.org/gower. !

Newspapers across the country are be­ coming rare. Rarer still are newspapers that serve smaller, close-knit communities like the Caledonia and Middleville area. Hometown newspapers, like the Sun & News, are not always profitable ventures but, at J-Ad Graphics, Inc., we’re committed to using our larger resourc­ es like the Reminder, that readers also receive each week, to help with the advertising revenues that come in from loyal businesses we’re so fortunate to have in the Middleville-Caledonia area community. We believe that community journalism is a vital social asset, that publications like the Sun & News draw us closer together as neighbors. Without a publication like the Sun & News, fundraisers wouldn’t be as successful, turnouts at community events would be lower. Without the Sun & News we wouldn’t know about the joys people in our community celebrate or hear about the untimely passing of friends and ac­ quaintances.

This is our seventh year in which readers are being asked to help us fend off the pressure of burgeoning production costs amidst diminishing advertising rev­ enues.

Other positions held: Kappa Sigma Alpha; Pledge Captain, Social Chairman; Ecumenical Theological Seminary, Student board, longtime volunteer for Heifer International, volunteer wrestling coach, volunteer youth pastor, social justice and community organization. If elected, what changes, if any, would you make? I would like to make changes to the current poli­ cies we have in place to pro­ tect our lands from flooding. I do not feel the current poli­ cies are up to date and no longer serve our community as well as they should. The flooding taking place now in our community will go beyond the hurtful property damage into farmers lively hoods, and in turn effect the hunting I fishing for local sportsmen and women. What improvements would you like to see? Beyond flooding and after speaking to many in our community, there are a great deal of concerns in the social services with our elders and domestic violence. Our elders are being kept sepa­ rate from the rest of the community and not offered, in some cases, reasonable transportation to town to take care of their needs. I would like to start a program, perhaps a day care, where our elders can interact with our young­ est people in the community. Also, a youth center or an after-school program for the many young people in our community that wander around waiting for a parent to get out of work. I would like to see a domestic vio­ lence safety center where, mostly women and children, have a safe place to go and receive job training or just support to return to the work force so they can be self-suf­ ficient. Property values are a concern for many, and want to ensure everyone a safe environment for their invest­ ments. Who is your political mentor, model or hero? I have to say myself; 1 have had the courage to stand up to banks using my body to fight for people to keep their homes, I have stood with signs so people can have living wages, placed my body in front of tractor trailers to keep contacts with people not corporations.

I am my own hero ... What innovative idea would you pursue, if elect­ ed? One innovative idea I would pursue if elected: That’s easy introduce the model of a contribution soci­ ety. One where everyone in the community donates three hours of their time a week and in turn receives free elec­ tricity. If we have 1,000 peo­ ple in our community and everyone donates 3 hours a week that is 3,000 hours of labor that we can put towards and civil project that we desire. Perhaps that project is a renewable energy initia­ tive? Eventually, when we have reached capacity on providing free energy to everyone in the community we can bring in revenue by selling our surplus energy and perhaps we start a new initiative where members donate time in a green house, now everyone in the commu­ nity receives free food, and the surplus is then sold off and the next endeavor begins, Stop right now this is not a socialist idea, this is contri­ bution model where every­ one donates their time and if they do they receive the rewards. Humans are not lazy they want to give back to their community, and if they are given the opportuni­ ty like this they will be hon­ ored for the gifts they bring to the community. This is only the beginning of the conversation. District 4 (A portion of Carlton Township; Irving Township; Thornapple Township­ Precinct 2; Rutland Charter Township-Precinct 2) Jon Smelker-R Smelker, 69, of Freeport, a retired rural mail carrier, is seeking re-election. Other elected, volunteer, community involvement experience: President of Freeport Historical Society; past captain, Freeport Fire Department; past lieutenant Township Thornapple Emergency Services. Why are you seeking this position? I enjoy serving the community and I’d like to follow through on the proj­ ects we have started. Experience or education that qualifies you for the position: U.S. Army 1969­ 70, Firefighter I and II trained, EMT for Thomapple Emergency Township Services from 1990-2000. Fire officer classes, United States Postal Service for 20 years, volunteer at the Barry County Fair for more than 15 years, a member of the Freeport Historical Society since 1999 - presently serv­ ing as its president. Since being elected to the county board, I’ve served on Judicial Security Council, the Committee, the Central administration Dispatch board, chaired the 911 Finance Committee, Barry Board, County Transit _____ , Airport Board, Stepping-Up Committee and Board of Public Works. If elected, what changes, if any, would you make? I would continue following our Strategic Plan as close as possible and to do what we can on our Master Facilities Plan, putting the least burden on our taxpayers as possible. What are your biggest concerns and how will you respond to those concerns? Economic development and affordable housing anoruaoie nousing are always concerns. We also have facilities that need work, some of them soon. What improvements would you like to see? Barry County needs to look at the jail and the Commission on Aging to see what we need and where it should be locat­ ed, always keeping the tax­ payer in mind. Who is your political mentor, model or hero? My father. What innovative idea would you pursue, if elect­ ed? I would like to look into different ways to finance some of our projects. Samantha Jones-D Jones, a paralegal, media­ tor and small business owner, is seeking the District 4 county board seat. Experience or education that qualifies you for the position: bachelor’s degree and associate degree in legal studies from American Bar Association-accredited colleges, mediator and certified by the State Court Administrator Office, and more than eight years of experience as a paralegal. I also have assisted the House of Representatives with updating the Child Custody Act. Other experience: vol­ unteer as wrestling team rep­ resentative for the Thomapple Kellogg athletic boosters, co-founder of the Legal Barry County Assistants group. If elected, what changes, if any, would you make? I believe in employing local people for local jobs. This keeps the money local, which builds our community’s economy and funds our schools. In turn, creating a better education for our children and creating employ­ able generations to continue the cycle, What are your biggest concerns and how will you respond to those concerns? My biggest concerns are anything that negatively affects our county and its residents. Our residents are our greatest assets. improvements What would you like to see? A few places that I would like to improve upon include the county courts, prosecutor’s office, and Friend of the Court, as well as our local DHS. I would also like to create a program with the Barry County Sheriff’s Department, like the Hastings ’ program,, City Police cadet Who is your political mentor, model or hero? Hon. James H. Fisher and Julie Nakfoor Pratt. District 6 (Prairieville Township; Township; Orangeville _ Yankee Springs Township Precinct 2) Vivian Conner-R Conner, 63, of Shelbyville, is seeking re-election for a third term to serve the 6th district and the residents of Barry County, Why are you seeking this position? 1 am seeking re-election for a third term to serve my district and the res­ idents of Barry County. The residents elected me to be their representative, someone who thinks like they do, lives how they live, and can see the community through their eyes. If elected, what changes,9 if any, would you make? Development of a Human Resources Department for the county. Media advises us on the rising issues with dis­ crimination, bullying, retali­ ation in the workplace toward superiors and co-workers, contract negotiations, sexual harassment and other work The County issues. Administrator currently is tasked with these issues and, as they grow, I would like that responsibility shared with a professional who is accredited in the Human Resources field, to protect the Barry County residents and county government from being embroiled in a consuming legal suit over an issue. This department would create new manuals and pol­ icies to protect and train employees on their responsi­ bilities and the county’s responsibilities so we can be in compliance with existing and new laws. What are your biggest concerns and how will you respond to those concerns? My biggest concerns are human resources issues and the creation of a Human Resources Department; as well as new buildings for the Barry County Jail and the Commission on Aging. On Dec. 20, 2016, I sub­ mitted an agenda item to select individuals to serve on a committee to research our options and bring the results back for the 2018 budget process. Administration was tasked with investigating dif­ ferent options that we could review and they have been working on obtaining that information. I would like to see that as a goal for 2019 and be prepared to review it during the 2020 budget pro­ cess. I have been a committee member for the building projects for the Tyden Center and Circuit - Courtroom remodels. Costs were contained while the projects were completed in a timely manner. I would continue to serve on committees for upcoming building projects and work toward those same outcomes. improvements What would you like to see? The question is not if the Jail will fail, but when. Costs would be exorbitant if we had to house the prisoners in other county jails. Transportation costs would increase, over­ time for deputies to provide that transportation, and the list goes on. Other critical deficits that would be created are less safety for residents due *n Par* reduced road tired of reading about all of the fighting over zoning and believe that this is costly to the tax payers and residents of Barry County. I want Barry County to continue to attract businesses, residents, and investment. Experience or education that qualifies you for the position: I have a bachelor's degree in education and worked in public schools for three years, prior to working in a factory as a quality control inspector in Kalamazoo for almost 10 years. Since 2006, however, I have worked with public employ­ ers, road commissions, publie transit authorities, and municipalities to negotiate labor contracts which find creative and fiscally respon­ sible ways to address many of the pressing issues affect­ ing annual budgets like employee pensions, health­ care, and wages. 1 have assisted several schools and municipalities in restructuring to avoid having a state-appointed emergency manager take control. I have organized multiple fund raising initiatives for domestic violence victims, homeless shelters, and food banks. I also have organized food drives and coat drives for the homeless as well assisted with planning water collection and distribution for Flint. If elected, what changes, if any, would you make? I would like to increase acces­ sibility of our government to the residents of Barry County. We need to have better communication and participation from our residents. So I would work to offer meeting times and town hall meetings at varying times to allow for more peo­ ple to participate and share their ideas. I would also work to be more inclusive of all of our residents in an effort to end all of the fighting. These legal fights cost lots of money and, in the end, every­ one loses. I believe that it is time to end the fighting and move forward. What are your biggest concerns and how will you respond to those concerns? The biggest concern facing Barry County is our failing infrastructure and the lack of funds being set aside to rebuild our infrastructure. patrol and the ability to respond to emergencies. We need to be proactive to replace the jail before it fails, Baby Boomers are living longer, and there are a lot of us. We do need a new Commission on Aging build­ ing. Currently, we are mak­ ing much-needed renovations, but we need to have a bigger center to include more programs programs that that Boomers Boomers and and younger younger seniors seniors have have been been participating in. The biggest issue facing seniors seniors isis isolation. isolation. We We need need to to be be able able to to bring bring seniors seniors together. Transit can bring them geographically together, but our seniors need a new building that is what seniors need and want, and what our parents and grand­ parents need for their well-being today and in the future. I also believe we need to increase our programs out­ side of Hastings so that seniors can also continue to be community based with current friends that they have in the communities where they have lived, some of them, most of their lives. We are learning that close friends increase our chances for liv­ ing successfully longer. Who is your political mentor, model or hero? I really can’t point to one per­ son. When asked, what are you giving back in your community? 1 realized that there were great needs to have good government to protect and serve our residents. I am not in law enforcement, but I am good at making good decisions and working to make county govemment better, to serve our residents in those mat­ ters. Tonya DeVore-Foreman -D Tonya DeVore-Foreman, 47, of Wayland, a union rep­ resentative and district coor­ dinator of the United Steelworkers Women of Steel, is seeking the sixth district seat, Why are you seeking this position? I am seeking this position because the resi­ dents of Barry County deserve a choice on the bal­ lot. I have fresh ideas, a tire­ less work ethic, and a will­ ingness to meet with people as often as it takes to find solutions that work. I am SNOW PLOW DRIVER Caledonia Community Schools is seeking a seasonal Snow Plow Driver to work as needed. This position will work four to six hours per snow, for an average of 26 snows per year. Pay is $17.65 per hour. Will plow at multiple school sites, driving a pick-up truck or loader.

For additional information or to apply please go to: http://www.calschools.org/employment/ * I • As our population grows the strain on our existing infra­ structure continues to grow as well. We need to get ahead of this. Today we have failing dams, and flooding on Crooked Lake. There is no safety net put in place when these tragic things happen. We need to start building a plan to address this aging infrastructure which includes rebuilding existing dams, roads, bridges etc. and set­ ting aside funds for tragedies like the flooding on Crooked Lake. What improvements would you like to see? The population of Barry County continues to grow. I believe it is essential that we address this growth and get ahead of it now. We have needed a jail for many years, and it is just now that we are beginning to talk about a plan for address­ ing this need. 1 also believe that we need to increase accessibility of senior ser­ vices in our communities. A new Commission on Aging Building will help us meet those needs and the needs of our growing communities. Who is your political mentor, model or hero? Franklin Delano Roosevelt Sr. led us through the great depression and believed that Government should make opportunities for its people, and these opportunities would create prosperity of our country. He implemented the New Deal which consist­ ed of many programs like the Social Security Administration, the Farm Security Administration, and the National Industrial Recovery Act. These pro­ grams focused on providing relief to the poor and elderly, recovery of the economic system, and reform of the financial system. What innovative idea would you pursue, if elect ed? If elected I would pursue the idea of rotating the meet­ ing times. Currently, the board meets every Tuesday at 9 a.m. I believe this disen­ franchises a good percentage if Barry County residents. 1 would propose that one com­ mittee of the whole meeting and one board meeting per month be moved to 6 p.m. to allow for greater participation from the community, I I I I /Ml �> 4 < tv I I, I* Page 14/The Sun and News, Saturday, October 27, 2018 Letters to the Editor Local Citizens Speak Out On Issues Vote no on Caledonia millage increase My name is Curt Kikkert and I’m the father of a 2016 graduate of Caledonia High School and a long-time board member of the Caledonia Little League program. I’m a school and community sup­ porter — but I’m voting no on the Caledonia millage increase that will appear on the Nov 6 ballot. First and foremost, I believe the tax is unneces­ sary because the school sys­ tem already has a $10 million fund balance that isn’t cur- rently being spent on kids, Secondly, as a tax on non-homestead property, the millage increase will raise taxes on business owners and landlords — who will simply pass the expense on to people in our community who can least afford it. Thirdly, the school district has no stated plan for the monies being raised with the millage increase. If there’s no plan, then there must be no real need. Lastly, there are former Caledonia school board members I know and trust who are opposing this millage increase. These are longtime school supporters who have invested time, energy, and brain power in this community — yet they see this tax as unnecessary. That’s meaningful to me and I expect it will be to you, vou. as well. Again, I’m voting no on the Caledonia millage increase and encourage you to do the same.

He has a degree in business administration and is a certified zoning administrator as well as a Master Citizen Planner. Knowles said he has the experience and the knowledge of how to make a township run. Besides his position as director, he is a retired commercial contractor. After growing up in Yankee Springs, Knowles decided to run for a township seat that opened up after Roger Rottschafer resigned in 2017. Knowles, who now resides on Beatrice Avenue, Middleville, cited the main driver behind his candidacy was his belief that “this [Yankee Springs] is a won­ derful community, and I want to be involved and serve my community.” That sentiment goes along with Knowles’ belief that the township board needs to focus on township issues and not personal issues. Knowles said he believes some concerns need to be addressed on the township board. Specifically, the board needs to address wasteful spending, increase transpar­ ency, support local zoning to ensure homeowners* rights and ensure board members act on behalf of the township, not for personal benefit, he said. This all centers around Knowles’s main issue, which is “the township board needs to act professionally.” One idea Knowles plans on pushing for is to provide more of a voice to homeown- $ A/ fa v S’ A ■> r ■ !

Knowles has served on the Yankee Springs Board of Review since 2013, was the Yankee Springs Certified zoning administrator from 2013 to 2017, and has worked to stop illegal activity in the Gun Lake.

Then came Abby Marcukaitis’ winning time of 1:05.50 in the 100-yard butterfly. Haywood and and Marcukaitis were both a part of four wins on the night, taking two individual events and racing with the winning team in each of the freestyle relay races. Haywood won the 100-yard freestyle in 58.30 and Marcukaitis the 100-yard backstroke in 1:04.09. Grace Marcukaitis, Beauchamp, Aubrey Bischoff and Haywood won the 200-yard freestyle relay in 1:47.87, with Haywood’s split of 24.90 anchoring the team’s win by just three hun­ dredths of a second. The Wildcat foursome finished in 1:47.90. “It really came down to the touch,” Schoessel said, Haywood had a little more breathing room in the 400yard freestyle, teaming with Marcukaitis, Grace Beauchamp and Daisy Nowinsky to win that race in 3:58.36. The DK/TK/ 3:58.36. Hastings team of Karsyn Daniels, Daniels, Dalace Jousma, Holly Bashore and Lauren Myers earned the two thirdplace points in that race. DK/ TK/Hastings held just an 89-85 lead going into that last race, and Wayland head coach Seth Beach noted to coach Schoessel after the meet that if his girls had been able to finish first and third in that final relay the meet would have ended up tied and the two coaches would have had to have a swim off. It wasn’t just winners that performed well for DK/TK/ Hastings. Holly Bashore (6:05.79) scored a big thirdplace finish in the 500-yard freestyle, chasing down Wayland’s top swimmer in the race to be a part of a 1-2-3 finish for the DK/TK/ Hastings girls. Teammate Daisy Nowinsky (6:00.96) was second in the race and Bischoff won it in 5:59.21. Abby Schell was second in the diving and Claire Green third. Beauchamp was second to Haywood in the 100-yard freestyle in 59.31. Bischoff was second in the 200 freestyle in 2:12.49. Way land’s VanPopering won the 100-yard breast­ stroke in 1:17.04. The two teams will meet again as DK/TK/Hastings hosts the OK Rainbow Conference Tier II Championship Meet Nov. 2-3 in Hastings. The DK/TK/Hastings girls also scored a 96-71 non-conference win over Eaton Rapids Wednesday.

Tolan’s first move was to the trainer's table on the Battle Creek Central Bearcats’ bench, on the visi­ tor’s side of Bob White Stadium in Middleville to offer congratulations and condolences to Central wide receiver Keondre Glass. Glass had to be helped off of the field after getting injured at the goal-line while block­ ing on the outside on a run­ ning play as his team closed in on the Trojan end zone in the final minute his team’s Division 3 Pre-District game in Middleville Friday. Two plays after Glass was helped off the field his team­ mate Eric Hopkins plowed through the middle of the Trojan defensive front to score what proved to be the game-winning touchdown, from two yards out, with 31 seconds left in their team’s eventual 25-24 win over the host Trojans. Tolan did make his way back to his teammates, hold­ ing onto the game ball as he went through the handshake line. Eventually, he and senior teammate Lawton Berg shared a moment in the middle of the field before walking off as the last two Trojans who hadn’t made their way up the ramp, under the “Pride, Class, Tradition,” sign and back towards the locker rooms. For most of the evening it was as walk the Trojans probably expected to make with much different emo­ tions running through them. The TK boys led for more than 45 minutes Friday, never trailing until the Bearcats final touchdown. TK took a 14-0 lead in the first quarter. Led 17-13 at the half, and had their lead up to 24-13 early in the fourth go in the game set TK up in position to extend its lead to eight points late, but the Trojans had to settle for a long field goal attempt that flew wide left with 2:24 left on the clock, setting up the Bearcats* final TD drive. It was a tight contest throughout filled with great plays and moments on both sides, and also some fairly big mistakes. The Trojans were whistle for more than half a dozen illegal proce­ dure penalties. Both sides dropped a couple of sure interceptions, and the Bearcats dropped what should've been a couple of sure receptions as well. Even the officials may have made an error in judgment, as TK’s Colson Brummel appeared to take the ball away from punt Bearcat returner Dre'Aun Ellis at the end of a return in the fourth kick. Brummel had the ball at least momentarily, and it was teammate Owen Adams who came out of the pile with the football, but officials must have ruled that Ellis was down before Brummel stripped the ball from his grasp. That was the Bearcat possession that ended in Bonnema’s interception near midfield. TK had 289 yards rushing in the ballgame, while the Bearcats had 290 yards through the air. TK ends the season with a 7-3 overall record. Battle Creek Central (7-3) will travel to take on Jackson Parma Western (9-1) in the District Final next weekend. The Panthers pulled out a 21-14 overtime win over Mattawan last night.

With Nelson back at quarterback, the Trojans had one more offen­ sive weapon on the outside. Sophomore Cole Shoobridge, who filled in so admirably under center for most of the season, got to move back out to his wide receiver spot where he started the year. Shoobridge caught the first touchdown of the evening, on a fourth-down throw from Nelson from 22 yards out with 8:30 remaining in the opening quarter. An interception by senior defensive back Clayton Davies gave TK the ball near midfield to start that first scoring drive. Running back Mitchell Middleton capped a quick TK scoring drive with a 30-yard touchdown run, driving through tacklers at the 20 and then bursting into the end zone. His second extra-point kick of the night made it 14-0 with 1:33 to go in the first quarter. The Bearcats moved the ball up and down the field throughout much of the evening, doing it best through the air. A 62-yard touchdown pass from Bearcat quarterback Jermaine Morris to Glass deep down the right side pulled the Bearcats within 24-19 with 7:15 to play. Glass had five receptions for 126 yards on the night, plus caught the initial pass from Morris on a hook and ladder play late in the first half, pitching the ball to teammate Tyshaan Williams Williams who dodged a couple TK tacklers on his way to the end zone in the final minute of the first half to get their team within 17-13 at the time. Morris also hit Siryan Fynn-Brown for a 39-yard touchdown midway through the making the second second quarter, quarter, makin the score 14-7 after Osvaldo Flores-Moreno’s extra-point kick.

If elected, what changes, if any, would you make? As only one of seven board members, there are not many changes I can make unilaterally. What I can do is work to improve the communication from the board. During the process of interviewing the new superintendent, as well as during conversations I’ve had with members of the community, better communication from the school and the board was a common theme. Over the past four years, I have taken the “communicator” portion communicator of key seriously. What are your biggest concerns, and how will you respond to those concerns? The biggest concerns are growth and the funding to support the growth. Drive around Caledonia and you see new housing developments everywhere, Our elementary buildings are at a similar capacity as when the community voted to fund Paris Ridge Elementary. Two years ago, the south campus was added to the high school. All this growth and the per-pupil funding levels in 2018 are nearly the same as they were in 2008.

What innovative idea would you pursue if elected: I don’t know if you can call it that innovative, but I would really like to see us step up our social media presence. Social media is so prevalent in society; what better way to connect with many of our community than through the apps they already use?

EEE is not easily spread between animals or between animals and humans, but humans can get EEE through the bite of an infected mos­ quito. Most cases of human EEE (95 to 96 percent) do not cause any symptoms, and less than I percent develop sen ous illness. However. EEE is potential­ ly serious. Symptoms include fever, weakness and muscle and joint pain. More severe illness can cause swelling of the brain and surrounding tissues. Anyone can be affected by EEE, but persons over age 60 and under age 15 are at greatest risk for developing severe disease. This is the second white­ tailed deer found to have EEE in Michigan in 2018. The first was found in Cass County in September, Additionally, one human case of EEE in Michigan was reported in Allegan County earlier this year. “If you plan to spend time outdoors, protect yourself from mosquito bites by wearing long pants and sleeves and DEET repellent. usin Community Health Promotion Specialist Sarah Suma said in a press release issued Tuesday. ‘Additionally, remove buckets or other items outside your home (hat can hold standing water, which ii where mosquitoes breed, She also said people should inspect w indow^ screens and repair any holes to keep mos­ quitoes out of the home. Mosquitoes can survive until there is more consistent frost, More information about EEE can be found at michigan.gov/ emergingdiseases, Additionally, domestic horses can be vaccinated for EEE through veterinarians. Persons experiencing any of symptoms mentioned above should seek medical attention and contact a health­ care provider. Deer that are exhibiting strange behavior or appear to sick should not be handled or processed. Observations of potentially deer can be report ed al httpsiZ/securel .state. mi.us/ORS/Home.

It was decided that no action specifically involv­ ing the Lions Club could be taken since the Lions Club does not hold a deed for any property that could be used as a Community Center. However, the board did vote to transfer $15,000 into the capital improvements section of the DDA 2019 budget. This money then could be donated to the Lions Club if it is able to secure a property for a Community Center and if the DDA board decides it is appropriate. If the Lions Club is unable to secure a property, then the money can be used for other investments or can be saved for the 2020 budget. The DDA board voted unanimously to approve a payment for an invoice from Left Field Coffee. The invoice was for a sign erected by Left Field Coffee.

The ele­ mentary school was operational from about the mid 1950s to the early 1970s. Winfield’s was the original name of a store serving lake residents from it's location at 522 South Shore Dr. It changed hands,operating as Palazollo’s and then Connie's, before being tom down in the 1970s and replaced with a home. Another store from bygone days, Winger’s was located on South Shore Dr., across where from Maria’s Restaurant now sits. Winger’s saw some changes through the years as well, giving way to the Holmes Store, Ye Olde Frontier Store and Captain's Cove, before being torn down and replaced by cottag­ es. “I think preserving history is always important because the events, businesses and people of the past have formed and shaped our com­ munity into what it is today,” Alderink said. “So knowing our community story we can continue to build on this his­ tory and be a welcoming, caring and generous community in the future.” The group hopes to have the memoirs available for sale around Memorial Day.

Contributing Writer The Middleville Downtown Development Authority welcomed the new Middleville Farmers Market Master, Megan Lavell, during its Oct. 16 meeting. Lavell, who is replacing Alex Decess as market manager, officially started in her new position on Oct. 19, the Farmers Market’s last day of the year. Previously, Lavell worked on the Hastings City Farmers Market in the late 2000s and was responsible for moving the Farmers Market in 2009 from its previous home at Tyden Park to its current home on the Barry County Courthouse lawn. Lavell commented that she was looking forward to meeting all the vendors and working more with members of the DDA board. Sue DeVries, a representa­ tive from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, gave a presenta­ tion to the DDA board about the Michigan Main Street program. DDA board mem­ bers had invited a MEDC representative during their September meeting to pro­ vide more information on the MMS program during their October meeting. DeVries explained that the MMS pro­ gram centers around preserv­ ing and celebrating historical buildings along a village or city’s main street while also encouraging public engage­ ment in the main street area. The program has a proven and successful methodology, according to DeVries. The MMS program is a limited program and only accepts three applicants each year. Because Middleville has missed this year’s appli­ cation window, Middleville would have to apply in 2019 with the hopes of being one of the three selected appli­ cants for the 2020 program. Six DDA members: Ann Ulberg, Mike Lytle, Mike Bremer, Jeffery McCormick, Lew Russ, and Jason Van Dam all expressed interest in attending a free training event in June 2019 hosted by the MMS program.

They started this club to institute their desire for camaraderie among business associates, which eventually led to an interna­ tional organization of service and fellowship.The Rotarian's primary motto is “Service Above Self’; its secondary motto is “One profits most who serves best.” A club that started with five businessmen now boasts 1.2 million members both nationally and internationally. The Middleville Rotary Club’s current president is Dr. Chris Noah, who has been a member member since since 2001. 2001.

Franklin first came up with the con­ cept of resetting the docks during the summer months a* a way of conserving energy. He believed that by turning the docks forward in the springtime, the extra hour of light in the evenings would provide a means of saving energy on lighting. Franklin pitched the idea in 1784, however DST didn’t official ly begin until more then a century later when Germany established it in 1916 as a way to conserve fuel during the first World War. DST was adopted by the United States in 1918. Contrary to the belief that DST was adopted for the benefit of farmers, it was actually fanners who object­ ed to the practice, because of the lots of the hour of morn­ ing light. Because of the farmers resistance, DST was abolished until President Franklin Roosevelt reestab­ lished it year-round in February 1942. referring to it as “War Time.” After World War 11. indi­ vidual stales were given the choice of w hether to observe DST'. Thia led to much confu­ sion . since many states began and ended DST on diffenng dates and at vary ing times in J966. Congress established the Uniform T ime Acl. While still providing stales with the freedom to refrain from DST, the acl mandated that any slates that did participate, had to follow protocol. set ting clocks forward on the first Sunday of April and moving them back on the last Sunday of October. This practice remained constant until 2FKI7, when the pres ent-day schedule of turning the clocks forward on the second Sunday of March and back on the first Sunday in November, was introduced, The energy savings first contributed to the adoption of DSL, but i& somewhat farfetched in modem times, with more efficient energy consumption.

It has been common knowledge that DST can be detrimental to health, According to an article in the Business Insider, the effect DST has on the human body is similar to that of jet-lag. It can disrupt sleep, metabo lism, mood, stress levels and other bodily rhythms. One study suggests recovery can take three weeks. In the days following the beginning of DST it has been found that there are spikes in heart attacks, auto accidents, on-the-job injuries and even suicide rates. Many countries choose not to participate, in fact only 40 percent of world countries observe DST. Some states have followed suit.

All l ceeds to and Jeffrey Westra of Edward Jones Consolidating accounts lead to clear financial strategy None of us can completely control all the things that happen to us. Yet, when it comes to achieving your long-term financial goals, aa comfortable including comfortable retirement you do have a great deal of power - as long as you follow a clear, well-defined financial stratcy. And one way to help build and maintain such a strategy' is by consolidating your financial accounts. Over the course of their lives, many people pick up a variety of financial accounts from multiple sources. They might have a few IRAs from different providers, a couple of old 401(k) plans from past employers, an insurance poll cy (or two) purchased many years ago, and a scattershot of stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit and other invest­ ments. If this picture describes your situation, you may want to think about consolidating. For one thing, having a vari­ ety of accounts can run up a lot of fees. Furthermore, you’ll have lots of paperwork to keep track of all your accounts, including several different tax statements. Plus, just by having so many accounts, you risk forgetting about some of them - and if you don't think you'd ever forget about your own money, consider this: Well * •J over $40 billion in unclaimed cash and property, including 401(k)s. pensions and IRAs, is awaiting return to the rightful owners, according to the National National Association Association of of the Property Unclaimed Administrators, But beyond reducing your possible fees, paperwork and potential for lost assets, consoildating your accounts with one provider can give you a centralized, unifying invest ment strategy, one that can help you in the following ways: • Diversification - If you own several different finan­ including accounts, cial IRAs, 401(k)s and online accounts, you might have many similar investments within them. You might even own a cash-value insurance policy containing invest­ ments that closely track the ones you have in the other accounts. This type of dupli­ cation can be harmful. because if a market downturn primarily affects one type of asset, and and your your portfolio portfolio isis asset dominated by that asset or similar ones, you could take aa big big hit. hit. But But if if you you have have all all your your investments investments in in the the same same place, a financial profcssion­ al can review your holdings and recommend appropriate ways to to diversify diversify your investment dollars, dollars. (Be aware, though, that while diversification can reduce the impact of market volatility on your portfolio, it can’t guarantee profits or protect against all losses. • Staying on track - With all your accounts in one place, you’ll find it easier to keep the big picture in mind and make the moves neces­ sary' to help you progress toward your financial goals. Two main actions include buying or selling investments and adjusting your portfolio to make it more aggressive or conservative, depending on your situation. • Avoiding mistakes - If you own several separate accounts, you could see a loss in one or more of them and overreact by selling investments that could still be valuable to you. But with a consolidated investment platform, you can sec more clearly that the impact of a loss may be small, relative to the rest of your holdings. As we’ve seen, consolidat ing your investment accounts with a single provider can have several advantages. So think carefully about bringing everything together - you may find that there’s strength in unity.

Growers and shippers of the National Onion Association and Idaho-Eastern Oregon Onion Committee offer these tips: Buying When shopping, buy onions with dry outer skins, free of spots or blemishes. The onion should be firm and have no scent. Avoid bulbs that have begun to sprout. Yellow, red and white onions are available year-round from X producers in the United States. Seasonal differences like flavor and texture are noticeable and highlighted during these time frames: Fall and winter onions (available August-April ) have multiple layers of thick, paper-like layers of skin. Known for their mild to pungent flavor profile, these varieties can be eaten raw, and are ideal for roasting, caramelizing, grilling and frying because they have less water content. Spring and summer onions (available March-August) have thin, often transparent skins and are typically sweeter and milder than fall and winter varieties. Due to their high water content and mild flavor, they are best used for raw, pickled, lightly cooked or grilled dishes. Storing Store onions in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, not the refrigerator. Do not store whole, unpeeled onions in plastic bags. Lack of air movement reduces storage life. Peeled or cut onions may be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. �Page 10/The Sun and News, Saturday, November 3, 2018 VETERAN, continued from page size home for a Veteran to comfortably raise a family.

These are TAX DOLLARS previously collected, and have not been spent on our students, teachers or assets. To date, the district has $10,000,000 in savings. Maintaining a healthy fund balance is important, however, at 19% of annual revenue, Caledonia Community Schools proves to be one of the wealthiest and healthiest in Kent County. Moreover, earlier this year, Kent County voters passed a county millage, increasing revenue by $240/pupil. Savings, increased revenue and new taxes negate the need to seek additional dollars, and certainly don’t justify overriding the important Headlee Amendment and the valuable protections it provides to taxpayers. fiwnii Willi Mb Wc i #2 Headlee Amendment Override_____________________________________________________________ The Headlee Amendment was put in place by voters to prevent government overgrowth during periods of high property value inflation, just like we see today in Caledonia. Headlee limits tax capture increases to the rate of inflation. This ballot initiative aims to override this important protection, and is a tax increase, by definition. s:: ■ < iiiw iii #3 State Funding at all-time high- Mi* The State of Michigan has given schools the highest per pupil increase in the history of our state.

However, dollars left in the local economy are typically spent on a 3 to 1 ratio, meaning that $156,000 has the potential of generating over $500,000 by 2020. ^3’ I r *I #5 A “NO VOTE” is a Pro-School and Pro-Community choice On the surface, this tax increase appears to be a fair capture of lost revenue from the recession a few years back, however, a closer examination reveals this is a regressive tax that will unfairly impact renters, raise consumer prices and provide an opportunity for Caledonia Schools to capture more than 18 mils in the future. Because this is a tax on non-homestead properties, the millage increase will predominately impact business owners and landlords, who will pass along the increase to shoppers and renters in the Caledonia Community in order to prevent revenue reductions. t 1* I* 5i< Ji & On Election Day, November For more information, go to www.10MillionlsEnough.com Paid for by WMILLIONisENOUGH campaign committee th —■ �Page 12/The Sun and News, Saturday, November 3, 2018 First Trojan in just shy of earning state spot j# Thomapple Kellogg sophomore Brennan Lutz winds his way up hill during the Division 2 Regional race at Portage West Middle School Saturday with Plainwell’s Jacob Hopson on his heels.

The Caledonia girls’ team had five girls running Saturday who were a part of the team that ran in the 2017 Division 1 Lower Peninsula State Finals last year, and a sixth who ran in the two state finals races before that, Throughout the season the Caledonia girls had a goal of repeating as regional cham­ pions. The last appearance in the state finals for the Caledonia boys was 2016, and none of those state finalists were in the top seven for the Scots this season. Caledonia varsi­ ty boys'coach Ben Thompson said his guys were focused on trying to get second behind the Hudsonville boys who were 54 points and three places better than them about a week earlier at the OK Red Conference Championship Meet* ’ “The boys just ran unbelievably. It was for sure our best race of the year,” Thompson said. “They are a really loose group, so all week long it was just fun and joking and whatever else. I knew that they weren't going to be uptight, that’s for sure. I was a little bit worried about how serious and focused they were.” The Caledonia boys out­ scored Hudsonville 57 to 81 Saturday, with Portage Central placing third with 96 points. The top three teams and top 15 individuals at regionals across the state last weekend earned spots in today’s S(Nov. 3) state finals, It is really exciting, especially with the big four we 41 had leave my sophomore year,” Caledonia senior Jalen Banfill said. “It is crazy that we got back up there. It was a great day for Caledonia. The girls and the guys both won, so I’m pumped.’’ The Caledonia boys were eighth at the state finals in 2016, with a team led by four seniors. Banfill was right on the edge of being in the top seven for the Scots that fall. That team had two freshmen run at the state finals, but neither was a part of Scot team this season. Caledonia had plenty of reinforcements though, first Jamin Thompson a year ago and then freshmen Josh Oom and Caden Dixon this fall, among others. Thompson and Oom led the Caledonia boys’ team Saturday, both setting new iw VI 'S I’ �t The Sun and News, Saturday, November 3. 2018/ Page 15 5 3 kt X* FF * Ji * I vs c L* * >21 I. -w - • f • . * ¥ i S& C I• * \ * : Bk I • •c I ■ < r "L v' * ■ u* ,* ■ f 9 I l**S^ cw*r»2 VffjKoaa«n I 1 'W'lKlIO '■T t C& I •9: 311 aw f.’t — ,’vtn | h •j /• "* • « 5 I DONII V < i 9 I ml I E 1* ->c Ir ’ 'H ■ ••3 1 * f. ; - • I 1 <• 1 3731 ./ JE <<• > CALEDONIA —*= to® ^9 ♦ _ ■ « r F •1*^9** 1 COVOHTJ w cooHTx.r C ►« x.

To put that in terms that are easier to under­ stand, the increase will be approximately $15 per $100,000 of assessed value or $150 per $1 million of assessed value. This increase returns the funding to the same levels where they were previously, It is important to point out that this does not affect qualified agricultural property or first homes. Only business and those with second homes will be affected. By not approving the increase, the schools will also lose approx- imately $71,000 in State funds per year ($31 per student). There is a group opposed to this increase because they are concerned the schools have too much of a savings account. By having this account, Caledonia Schools was able to weather the recession a few years back without significant cuts to staff. One has to question what the real reason this group, led by Ken Yonker, is opposed to the millage request. Is it because of the extra amount that their businesses will need to pay? Are they concemed about the extra $15 they will need to pay (or $150 if they have $1M of assessed property)? Or is it UflfMb Opportunities - Hiring by Nov 5!

But our collective 25-plus years of experience as school board members tells us this tax increase is unnecessary. A big reason is the school system already has $10 million in its fund balance. Those are previously collected tax dollars that aren’t currently being used to support Our students and teachers. In addition, Kent County voters already passed a county mill- other reasons that this group is against it? Maybe they don't support the new superintendent and want to see him fail (and the school)? Ken is so opposed to this, he had a “lapse of judgment" this past weekend and used the government vehicle provided to him by Kent County for his public job as drain commissioner, to distribute campaign materials in clear violation of State Campaign laws. Maybe his opposition to this issue that is such a “no brainer" is the same “lapse of judgment"?

The Non­ Homestead Millage refers to the 18-mills that our schools levy on businesses, invest­ ment properties, vacation homes and rental property. The upcoming Non­ Homestead Operating Millage is one of the three essential components for funding schools. School funding within the state of Michigan is made up of three primary sources. The largest source of funding (approxi­ mately 60%) comes directly from the state of Michigan. Our ability to levy and col­ lect local taxes makes up the second largest source of school funding (approximately 30%). The final portion of significance comes from the federal government (nearly 10%). Under the Michigan system for funding schools, in order to receive the full amount of per-pupil allocation for Caledonia Community Schools, we must levy the full 18-mills. This is not a new tax. Community Caledonia Schools has levied 18-mills ever since Michigan went away from a strict reliance on local property taxes to fund schools in the 1990's to that of the current system under Proposal A. This levy of 18-mills is required in order to receive the full amount of funding allowable under the Michigan Proposal A system for funding schools.__ In Caledonia, we have levied 18-mills since 1994 until this current year. In fact, in 2015 the voters of Caledonia Community Schools passed a 5-year Operating Millage designed to levy 18-mills from the years of 2015 2020. However, due to a littie known law passed back in the 1970’s known as the “Headlee Rollback” amend­ ment, the voters' intentions to continue with the levying of 18-mills on Non­ Homestead property until 2020 will not be realized. Unfortunately, no one was able to predict that this 1970s law would eat away at the spirit and intent of the Caledonia voters in 2015. Currently, due to the Headlee Rollback" amend­ ment, our schools took in approximately $71,000 less than allowed under the Proposal A system this year. Furthermore, this loss of rev­ enue could possibly increase over the final two years of the 5 year Operations Millage passed in 2015. The request on the November 6, 2018 ballot is asking the voters to restore the millage lost under this 1970's Headlee Rollback provision. It is my belief that a restoration of the 18-mills on November 6 will allow us to continue with the intent and spirit of the voters in the passage of a 5 year, 18-mill Operations Millage back in 2015. If you would like more information on the upcoming Operating Millage Proposal, please check out the November 2018 Election Information section of our website at calschools.org/ election-information/. Thanks again for your continued support of Caledonia Community Schools.

In my mind, this was an important win for us. For us to show up on the grounds of the Gilmore Car Museum, and to take the top spot was a good way to propro­ vide positive energy at the end of a long season. “Regardless of our place in any meet, these girls are top shelf. Tm very proud of who they are as athletes, but even more proud of them as the young ladies that they are. With regards to repre senting their school, families, and community well, and as far as giving it all they had, they were very success­ ful this season.” The Trojans scored just 27 points, with Hastings second with 51 points, ahead of Maple Valley 75, Delton Kellogg 84 and Lakewood 138.

All of them gave maximum effort and ran with a lot of heart,” TK varsity girls’ cross coun­ try coach Sam Wilkinson said. “I don’t think any of them can honestly say that they coulda, woulda, shoulda done anything differently. They poured it out for the team and represented both the team and Thornapple Kellogg very well. “We were ranked tenth heading in, and we came out seventh ahead of conference rivals South Christian and Wayland, who are tough teams to beat.

Without a publication like the Sun & News, fundraisers wouldn’t be as successful, turnouts at community events would be lower.

Wierzbicki said he has worked with Bradford White forover 20 years. The DEQ’s role with Bradford White is to ensure that they comply with the environmental laws. The meeting’s primary focus was to explain what a mixing zone is, outlining the specific chemicals that the mixing zone was supposed to target, and addressing any questions residents had. The DEQ evaluates “any proposals...various tools and methods” that Bradford i i • I<“ L.

As a result of the state's adjustments, Weeks asked various village department heads to “look to do an 8 percent decrease in their overall funds." The result was a decrease from $56,000 in excess funds to $ 1,163, Weeks said.

Village Manager Duane Weeks said he is having the village accountant review the state’s adjustments to its calculations to make sure that anticipated loss in revenue is correct. Before this year, funds from personal property taxes went to the village’s essential services fund, which is under the broader general fund for See MEETING, page 2 the village.

One of the chemicals dis­ charging from the plumes is trichloroethylene (TCE), a degreasing chemical that was used in the manufacturing process of Bradford White water heaters. “TCE is a toxic chemical with human health concerns" according totheEPA. TEC was used in the Bradford White manufactur­ ing process up until 1985. After 1985, Bradford White “ceased using trichloroethylene as a degreasing solvent”. Since 2004, Bradford white has been “treating the source area below the plant, below the area where the degreasing processes were conducted.’’ However, before halting the use of TCE in 1985, “it [TEC] was detected in a groundwater seep coming out of the ground on the west side of the plant” in a state compliance test. When asked if there’s any risk to the public currently, White uses to meet state requirements. That also means the DEQ is continuously making sure that Bradford White’s methods and tools are meeting the requirements that the state has set. . com­ One of the tools that companies like Bradford White can use to ensure'that they are meeting state require­ ments on water quality stan­ dards are mixing zones.

The incident violated county policy so Kent County officials responded by a onemonth revocation of Yonker’s privilege of taking a county vehicle home. According to a WBCH report, Yonker said he had mechanical issues with his truck on the night of the incident. Although another vol­ unteer had offered offered toto hand hand out the pamphlets, Yonker used his county vehicle because he wanted to expedite the task. In a statement issued Oct. 31, Kent County administra­ tor Wayman Britt said, “I with spoke Drain Commissioner Yonker yesterday after receiving the resident complaint, and he immediately apologized and took full responsibility for he his actions, which he explained were not planned, but spontaneous.” According to Britt, even MEETING, continued from page 1 the DEQ said there are “no risks to the public.” That in part is due to the anan error error of judgement effort of Bradford White’s required a formal response treating process of TCE.

Experience: Right out of college, I was blessed with an opportunity to teach full­ time in the Grand Haven Area Public School district.

I really enjoyed teaching in Grand Haven - the students, staff and area as a whole; but couldn’t pass on the opportunity to have my dream job back in Middleville. What is your passion as an educator? 1 became a teacher because the Lord has blessed me with a heart for serving children. 1 really enjoy interacting with them each and every day. I strive to bring glory to God in the way the I teach and in the way 1 interact with the stu­ dents, parents and staff each day. I decided on physical education because I want to give students the tools they need to live an active and healthy lifestyle, not just for the present, but for the rest of their lives. . Tell us about your fami­ ly: There was nothing boring about growing up in a family of nine. I always had broth­ ers and sisters to play with, events to go to, and 1 learned a lot of valuable lessons along the way. My parents have always set a great example for us by spending much of their time serving others, specifically children. My wife, Kelley, and I have been happily married since December of 2015. Kelley currently works as an OR nurse at Blodgett Hospital in East Grand Rapids. Our family of two will soon become three, as God has blessed us with the expectation of our first child in March. We are excited to be back in Middleville and to begin raising our family here. the TK community as a whole has such a great “fam­ ily feel" to it. I look forward to my children being a part of that as they grow up. What do you like about working in the district?

United Bank is collecting blankets at all of its locations and dis­ tributing them to those in need through its Blanket the Community project. The community bank is encouraging anyone who can help to drop off a new blan­ ket to any United Bank location now through the end of the year. The bank, in turn, will deliver those blankets to neighbors in need. Local branches of United Bank are in Clarksville, Gun Lake, Caledonia and Wayland. Last year, 550 blankets were donated during United Bank’s first Blanket the Community campaign. In its second year. United Bank staff is hoping to double those numbers and has set a goal of collecting more than 1,100 blankets.

Kyle Fennel asked the Caledonia Township Board to purchase a Chest Compression system for use during cardiopulmo­ nary-resuscitation. The unit, a Physio Control Lucas 3.0 system, provides automated, controlled chest compressions when manual compression is not possible or practical. According to Fennel, Caledonia is one of the only fire departments in the area that does not yet have this type of equipment. He said automated CPR can be more effective in restoring pulses and saving lives than manual CPR. It also pro­ vides an extra means of CPR, which, in multiple or extend­ ed trauma cases, frees up personnel for other life-sav­ ing activities. The machine, normally carrying a price tag of more than $ 15,500, is the last one available, as the model is being discontinued and updated to a new identical model with Wi-Fi. Because of this, the unit was offered to the fire department at a price of $9,821, a discount of about 63 percent. Fennel said the lack of Wi-Fi will not change the unit’s effec­ tiveness, as the department would not be using Wi-Fi. Fennel urged the board to expedite a decision because the unit was being held for one day. After discussion, a motion was made to pur­ chase the chest compression system at the discounted price. Delivery of the system will be made within two weeks. The key to consistent investing? Paying yourself first The Caledonia Fire Department will purchase a Physio Control Lucas chest compression machine similar to the one shown above for $9,821. (Photo from website used with permission of Physio Control) There also was a lot of number-crunching at the meeting, as board members held a workshop to discuss the 2019 budget. Treasurer Richard Robertson presented the board with tentative bud­ get numbers for both general and emergency service funds. According to Robertson, estimated revenues for the 2019 general fund will hover around 3,578,998, with total expenditures budgeted expected to match. Representatives from the Caledonia Fire Department stood by to answer board member questions regarding the emergency services side of the proposed budget. After further discussion and adjustments, updated budget numbers will be submitted for approval at the next meeting. other business, business, the the InIn other board board conducted conducted aa second second reading, voted and adopted Section 88 of of Regulatory Regulatory Section Ordinance 74-1 to allow swimming pools to be equipped with powered and functioning safety covers complying with Michigan and American safety standards, in lieu of fenced enclo­ sures.

PUBLIC HEARING ON BUDGET FOR 2018 FISCAL YEAR PUBLIC NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Township Board of the Charter Township of Caledonia will hold a public hearing on November 21, 2018, 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, 2019 through December 31, 2019 fiscal year. A copy of the proposed budget is available for public inspection at the Caledonia Township Office, 8196 Broadmoor Avenue SE, Caledonia, Michigan, during Township business hours. The property tax millage rate(s) proposed to be levied to support the proposed budget will be a subject of this hearing. All interested persons may attend the public hearing on November 21,2018, and be heard with respect to the proposed budget and the proposed property tax millage rate(s). This notice is given pursuant to Act 43 of the Public Acts of Michigan of 1963 (Second Extra Session), as amended. Dated: November 8, 2018 kicks are some of the best I’ve ever seen. She took a lot of those for us. She’s a hard worker and very determined, She is a great overall player.” Adams originally thought she’d follow in the footsteps of her big sister Emily, who is a senior on the Aquinas College Women’s Soccer team. Ellie saw the Saints add 15 new recruits in the class, pushing their roster to 40 members, and said she decided to start looking at other options. She realized she could find a school that better suited her academic interests as well. Adams is looking to study graphic design and advertising. “I like that I’m not paying as much, but they still go on trips. They do study tables. They meet together all the time. (MCC head coach Jeff Lohman) has speakers come every Friday and talk to the team. You’re a team. I'm get­ ting a good thing out of it, and I really like him as a coach. I have seen him coach a couple times. I really like the team. They’re really nice girls, very open and I think it'll be a really good experience and its only 45 minutes from home. I like I’ll be coming home on the week­ ends. “h’s scary because I move in in June and I take a sum­ mer class over the summer and train all summer, i’ll have to grow up and adult.” Lohman is very happy to have her. The Jayhawk coaching staff first saw her a couple summers ago playing with her Midwest United Club team at a showcase in Wixom. “She immediately stood out and we just stayed in contact with her for the last couple of years. She came to a couple of our sessions and we have seen her play quite a bit. We’re super impressed. In our opinion, she is a dif ference maker for our team. She takes us to another level really. We have had success the last four year since I've been there, played in the regional tournament and qualified for the tournament four years in a row, but this definitely puts us in a differ­ ent category as well as the players we have coming in around her. We have really our best recruiting class coming in.” It was an intentional choice according to Lohman to make Adams the first sign­ ee in the class. He told Adams and her parents Elizabeth and Earl that Nov. I was the first day his pro­ gram could sign new players and he wanted Ellie to be the first of the signing period. Volleyball is the only other school sport that Adams has ever really even tried. It didn’t take. “I love soccer, it makes me numb to everything outside and I can just focus the game,” Adams said. “I like the way it makes me feel. I'm very competitive and I can express that a lot, and it pushes me in a physical way that 1 like.” She played in the TASC program in Middleville before stepping up to play with the Grand Rapids Crew Juniors program which eventually morphed into the Midwest United program. She joined the Michigan Fire for the latest club season. helping her team reach the quarterfinals of the state cup tournament. Lohman is a career coun­ selor at MCC as well. He said ;irls often have the chance to go on and play soccer at another college after their time at MCC, but he also runs his girls through the career counseling process and many times the girls just to continue on with their education and future careers.

VanGessel said, VanGessel said she posted online asking for names of local active military, either overseas or state side. “I only got eight names, which really surprised me.” VanGessel said. “But then upon reflecting, I thought maybe that's a good thing that we don’t have as many troops deployed.” The mailing list includes five state-side and three overseas troops, each of whom will receive multiple care packages to share with their battalions. Along with candy and personal products, the students also wrote let­ ters and colored pictures for the troops. “All this candy, condition­ er, shampoo, batteries, wet­ wipes, are things that are luxuries, that we just take for granted,” VanGessel said. “I hope it’s going to be like Christmas for them. One of the shipments will go to an Emmons Lake Elementary School alumnus who is serving. Cards and pictures are also being sent to one of last year’s gradu­ ates from Caledonia High School who is currently in basic training. VanGessel said that the shipping costs, approximate­ ly $20 per box, are being underwritten by a local busi­ ness. There are 14 boxes ready to go, and piles of candy and goods still to be packed in additional boxes. The moms and dads I've heard from are just so sup­ portive of what we’re doing here at Emmons I^ake and the fact we re giving to those who who arc are still still aa part part of of our our community, even though they are not here.” VanGessel said. “I tear up a little bit to realize how blessed we arc *4 and the support that’s given.

Since 1991, Michigan Sportsmen Against Hunger. an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization, has worked to help connect donors, wild game processors and chartchari­ ties that help feed those in need. “Since the beginning, an estimated 637,000 pounds of donated venison - which equates to more than 3 million meals - has helped food banks, pantries and shelters fight hunger in Michigan,” said Ray Rustem, who coordinates the DNR’s participaMichigan tion in the Sportsmen Against Hunger program. “We encourage hunters to consider donating - each deer donated will pro- vide more than 125 meals.” Hunters who want to donate a deer but can't make it to the event at Jay's can find a list of participating processors throughout the state at sportsmenagainsthunger.org. Just beyond the bounds of Barry County, there are MS AH processors are located in Sunfield, Olivet and Plainwell. Hunters also can make a monetary donation when they buy a hunting license, which helps offset the cost of processing, packaging and transporting donated veni­ son.

The ordinance will require operators to hold a valid driver’s license and to register vehicles with the village on an annual basis. Registration decals will be made available through the village at a cost of $10. Shifting to automobiles, council members suggested reminding residents that the seasonal odd/even parking policy is in effect in the vil­ lage. The policy, which is in effect between Nov. 1 and Thornapple Kellogg High School choir students (from left) Jack Schneider, Grace April 15, states that from Hauschild, Haley Bovee and Peter VerStraete have been selected to the regional midnight to 6 a.m., motor honors choir. The four are now eligible to audition for the state honors choir.

Residents not following this policy will be ticketed. No parking is permitted on Main Street at any time between 3 and 6 a.m. yearround. Council members congrat­ ulated Jennifer Lindsey and Jean Soest for their wins in the Nov. 6 election. Lindsey, an appointed trustee, will keep her seat on the council, with Soest filling one of two remaining vacant seats. A write-in candidate, who has not yet been confirmed, will fill the other seat. All three candidates will be sworn in sometime after Nov. 20. Congratulations also went out to Todd Grinage, who ran unopposed in order, to maintain his seat as village presi­ dent, A committee of five was appointed for the recruitment of a new village manager to replace Sandy Stelma, who has served as village manag­ er since 1999. Stelma will retire in May 2019. Members of the hiring committee include Stelma, DPW director Julie Marcy, trustees Gary Scholl and Jennifer Lindsey, and plan­ ning commissioner Chuck Swift. Township Caledonia Supervisor Bryan Harrison shared concerns regarding a communications tower proposed to be erected on the wastewater treatment proper­ ty. Harrison said the township receives revenue from a number of cellular service providers on the water tow­ ers adjacent to Glen Valley, The revenue from the towers, towers. which he estimated to be just over $80,000 per year, goes into the water fund. “That is money we use to keep costs low, to pay the operators for the water sys­ tem,” Harrison said. “There is currently a proposal coming to you as village council members to build a tower, literally within line of sight. My understanding is that they would be paying about $15,000 annually. We have concerns about those [carriers] that are located on our tower, at the end of their leases, jumping over to TKHS choir students make regional cut loriT osubH nonori bivoiq Middleville Council honors Rec chair retiring Parks 91 J i I- ■- 1^ the other tower.” In addition to possible negative impact on the users of the system, Harrison also said the village has an ordi­ nance in place regarding placement of the towers. He read a portion of the ordinance detailing the minimization of number of towers, and promoting existing tow­ ers in the village. He urged council members to with­ draw plans for the tower, which is scheduled as an agenda item on the next plan­ ning commission meeting. In the engineer's report. Jon Moxie discussed the finalization of the DEQ’s Stormwater, Asset Management and Wastewater grant process. “We submitted our infor­ mation to the Department of Environmental Quality," said Moxie. “On Halloween, we met our deadline, so from the DEQ standpoint, we are done.” Moxie said the final presentation to the council will probably be made at the next meeting or at a special workshop, He also reported that map­ ping updates will resume and be finalized after the wrap-up of the SAW project. In an update on the down­ town parking and parks and recreation, Moxie said once a recreation plan is formalized, they consider going forward with a grant application for something that ties the trail to downtown parking.

A comparison of the July 2017 fund balance of $996,977 and June, 2018 fund balance of $1,134,769 showed a net increase of $137,792. The street funds fared well, too. The major street fund, showed a fund balance of $371,735 in 2017 com­ pared to $398,477 in 2018, for a net increase of $26,742. The 2017 local street fund balance was $48,651, com­ pared to $75,090 in June 2018, for an increase of $75,090. The sewer fund showed a loss of $33,007, with a July 2017 net position of $1,315,015 as opposed to $1282,008 in June of this year. L t I * I '4 Si ‘ 4 & * *' s **•. s' ■4- CARTS, continued from page *4 r I I With the SAW grant coming£ to an end, along with other factors, Hall said the loss was expected and will continue to occur until the bond is paid off. “It’s an intended loss, and it will continue to be that way at a pace of whatever amount you agree to work out those annual debt payments with the township,” Hall said. “Clear as mud, I know. It looks bad, but, basically, it’s intended. It’s the way it’s supposed to be, so you're fine.” Dwayne Ruthig, general manager of Caledonia Farmers Elevator, addressed the council, proposing the purchase of a parcel of property from the village. The property, approximately 1.6 acres in size, adjoins the ele­ vator’s property, running parallel to Kinsey Street, west of the village offices. It would be utilized for construction of a new structure. The purchase will be placed under consideration. In related news, the councoun­ cil approved a motioned to cil approved a motioned to move forward with the sale of the existing village office building at 250 S. Maple St. The general consensus was that the building, co-owned with Caledonia Township, is too large with much of the space being unused. Harrison and township treasurer Richard Robertson who also was present at the meeting, were agreeable to the sale. “The township has favored selling for a long time, of course, since we moved out,” Robertson said. “Willing partners, we never wanted to evict anyone or force the hand, but we are certainly willing partners if you do decide to move ahead,” Harrison said. “We don't have any need for this building, and we know if it did sell, it would put it back on the tax rolls.” Stelma has consulted with a Realtor and will continue to move forward with gathering information pertaining to the sale and investigating options for a replacement facility. Stelma also said she would consult with the Realtor to determine if the sale of prop­ erty to Caledonia Farmers Elevator would have any detrimental effect on the sale of the building. Thornapple Township adds to list of investment institutions Ian Watson Contributing Writer Township Thornapple Treasurer Debra Buckowing on Monday recommended that the board invest in the Cooperative Michigan Liquid Assets Securities System investment pool. The Michigan CLASS investment pool has been adopted by many municipali­ ties and the county because it is safe, Buckowing said, and their interest rate “continues to climb.” Her recommendation was spurred by the board’s recent decision to invest funds into a Chemical Bank money market. Buckowing said the money market would have more risk than previously thought because the money they had planned to invest wouldn't be covered by the Township’s collateralization program. As a result, it wouldn't be covered under the FDIC Deposit Insurance limit of $250,000 since the investment was going to be approximately $500,000. The Michigan CLASS, however, would be covered under the Township’s collat­ eralization program if added to the Township’s listed financial institutions. The board voted to add the Michigan CLASS to the res­ olution 10-2018, “Thomapple Township Investment and Designation Depository Resolution.” The board then proceeded to adopt resolution 10-2018 as amended. In other activities, Supervisor Mike Bremer handed out pamphlets for United Way on behalf of their representative, Keith Murphy, who was absent, The pamphlets were pledge cards for the trustee members who wished to donate to United Way. Bremer told the council that the Untied Way has worked with the Township by “supplying smoke detectors and CO2 detectors” to the Township Fire department to install, Also, the board voted to approve a bid from Physio Control for $23,270 which will be paid over the next four years. In return, Physio Control will be under con­ tract to perform preventive maintenance on two “LUCAS” units, two “lifepak 15” units, and an AED moni­ toring unit. Fire Chief Randy Eaton explained that a “LUCAS” unit is an auto­ mated chest compression-de­ compression device and a “lifepak 15” is a defibrillator monitor. Bremer made the rest of the board aware of his intention to propose denying recreational marijuana related business from operating in the Township. Bremer point­ ed to the Township’s election* results to support his claim that residents of Thornapple Township do not want marijuana businesses in their community. Township voters opposed Proposition 1, which legalized recreational marijuana for individuals above the age of 21, by approximately 200 votes. In other business: County Commissioner Dan Parker informed the board that an ad hoc commit­ tee has been formed to review the financial operations of the Barry-Eaton District Health Department and to research the question of whether a sole Barry County health department is needed. The board voted to approve a payment of $77,373 for current outstanding bills. The board also approved pre-hire screenings for a part­ time paramedic applicant Dana Yarger and Emergency Medical Technician applicant Mindi Klingensmith. ‘Shop small’ and support local businesses Nov. 24 Sue Van Liere Staff Writer Small Business Saturday. Nov. 24, is dedicated to sup­ porting small businesses and communities nationwide. The history of Small Business Saturday as described on shopsmall.com, begins with hard times expe­ rienced by small businesses due to faltering local econo­ mies following the recession of 2008. In 2010, in an effort to give local economies a boost during those challengin times, American Express ., f n c^e UP,w,t^ ^e concept of “Shop Small, designating the first Saturday after . . Thanksgiving as “ Small an s8lv‘n& as „ “ma Busmess Saturday. People were encouraged to shop at local retailers and bring more holiday shopping to small businesses in their communi­ ties. A year later, the Senate unanimously passed a resolu­ tion in support of the day, and officials in all 50 states now participate. It even got a shout-out from the president of the United States. In 2013, more than 1,400 individuals and organizations signed up as “Neighborhood Champions” to rally their communities with events and activities on Small Business Saturday. By 2017, there were more than 7,200 Neighborhood k j r Logos like this are a common reminder of the importance of supporting local businesses.

Dinner will be served at 6 p.m. each evening, followed by the play. The play is a modern retelling of “Christmas in Nazareth County" by Ronald and Pamela Moss, and will be performed by members of the church. The cost for both the din­ ner and the play is $10.

Plentiful top­ pings will be available, she said, including cheese, chili, olives and broccoli. Desert will be a mixed-ber­ ry cobbler. All proceeds brought in by the dinner theater will be donated to the community food pantry. The food pantry has served the community for about 20 years, Cravero said, and the church has host­ ed a dinner theater to help support the food pantry for approximately 15 years.

In 2003, concentrations of the carcinogen TCE exceed­ ed 200.000 parts per billion. According to MLive, the DEQ reported that concen­ trations have been reduced to 830 parts per billion.

Even after being hired, he still was being approached by companies he had met at ReThink. He now has a role where he gets to be more hands-on and is more responsible for projects rather than smaller components, which he said he greatly enjoys. He’s had the opportunity to travel a few times already in his new position and felt like a crucial part of the company shortly after starting. Gary is a great example of why we hold this event,” Alden said. “Here’s a guy who wanted to come back home and needed to get con­ nected. He’s from Hastings and he still wasn’t aware of the career opportunities that exist here. ReThink provides a great avenue for that to happen.” In fact, out of the five regional events held in West Michigan last year, Alden said the Barry County event resulted in the greatest num­ ber of hires directly from the event. “That’s pretty awesome for us, but it just shows how much opportunity is here from engineering to IT to marketing to production and everything in between,” Alden said. “I encourage anybody with family or friends visiting for Thanksgiving to encourage them to attend the event and check out the possibilities.” The event is free to attend, only requiring interested attendees to register online at rethinkwm.com. “West Michigan compa­ nies are growing at an unprecedented rate,” accord­ ing to Tim Mroz, vice presi­ dent of marketing and com­ munications of The Right Place, Inc. “But their growth is limited by access to talent. We have hundreds of positions available regionally, with a specific need in the areas of engineering and technology, and we would love to see former Michiganders come home to these jobs.” 44 0 1^J J!*8 1^2 ■ unto 1 I 1 ^■68® t bio ''i't-r a I % I Disc.

So, this is the perfect time to make sure individuals and families are protected from measles, according to a press release from the Barry-Eaton District Health Department. Measles is caused by a virus. The disease is now rare in the United States since vaccinations became routine in the 1960s. However, mea­ sles continues to be common in other countries. In the United States, most measles cases result from international travel. The dis­ ease is brought into the U.S. by unvaccinated people who get infected in other countries. They spread measles to others, which can cause out­ breaks. In Michigan, 15 cases of measles have been reported in 2018, the highest number of cases in 24 years. All of these cases involved interna­ tional travel or contact with people who had traveled. At least 10 of the 15 individuals were not vaccinated against measles, and two had unknown vaccination histo­ ries. Some of the most recent cases were reported in late October in two Michigan res­ idents who had flown into Detroit Metro Airport.

They enlisted in the navy for “brother duty” after high school in 1974, so that they would have a little more control over where and how they would serve. He went to boot camp at Great Lakes Naval Academy near Chicago and was trained to be an aviation electrician. As an electrician, he worked on planes that dropped listening devices into the ocean to track enemy submarines. When asked to share a funny story from his time in the military, Buys replied, “My twin brother and I would take each other’s watches when one of us had to go do something else. No one knew the better, because we looked exactly alike and we memorized each other’s service numbers.” Buys said he met some amazing people while in the service, but some of his favorites were in Bermuda. He had begun to attend a protestant service close to the base and was mentored by a man in the church, who turned out out to to be be an an admiral admiral in in turned the Navy.

Emmons Lake Principal Tony Silveri welcomed visi­ tors, and acknowledged mas­ ter of ceremonies and found­ er of the annual Veterans Day celebration, Mary Anne Timmer.

Timmer took the stage and, after opening remarks, announced the entrance of the Caledonia American Legion Post 305 Color Guard. Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts then led the pledge of allegiance, and the national anthem was sung by all, after which, the Color Guard departed in silence.

Dale Dehaan, also a Vietnam veteran, was there with his wife, Ellen to see their two grandchildren, as well. “I think with the ill temper at the of our country moment." Dehaan reflected, “it is time to pause and be thankful to those who pro­ vided the freedom that we all enjoy and remember that some people gave an awful lot - and a lot of people gave it all." �V Page 10/The Sun and News, Saturday, November 17, 2018 TK eighth graders learn about Vietnam veterans Tanett Hodge Staff Writer Kellogg Thornapple Middle School staff wants to educate students about the sacrifice members of the U.S. Armed Forces make.

Nikkei shared basic Vietnam War information, such as when, why and how the conflict began.

Attempting to determine the age of a deer while it is in the field is a matter of observing a range of physical characteristics based on vari­ ous age classes. There are numerous resources avail­ able online and elsewhere to help hunters learn how to become proficient at doing this. The 2018 Regular Firearm deer hunting season runs from Nov. 15-30 this fall in Michigan, followed by the second half of archery sea­ son from Dec. 1 to Jan. 1, as well as zone specific muzzleloading dates throughout the month of December. Each fall, as successful hunters bring their deer in to be registered at Michigan Department of Natural Resources check stations across the state, many of these men and women watch carefully as DNR wildlife technicians and biologists age deer based on character­ istics of the animal’s teeth. The DNR uses the age of harvested animals not exclusively deer — to model species age structure with the intent to better manage wild­ life. Furbearers, such as black A Michigan Department of Natural Resources worker cuts the cheek of a deer to help him age the animal. (Photo courtesy the Michigan Department of Natural Resources) bears and bobcats, are aged by removing a tooth and sec­ tioning the tooth to count the layers of cementum, which is a specific part of each tooth that is deposited annually. Like the rings of a tree, annual cementum deposits may be counted to determine the age of the tooth and, by extension, the age of the ani­ mal. Any animal may be aged in this manner, including deer, but instead, the DNR ages deer and elk according to tooth replacement and wear. Though not as accurate as sectioning a tooth and counting the layers of cementurn, assessing tooth replacement and wear is a more time-efficient method. Employing this faster aging method is appropriate given the high number of deer kills registered in Michigan each year. Last year, for example, the DNR registered a total of 39,220 deer from 86 check stations. There is a DNR deer check at Fox Farma station Processing Inc. on Hastings Road in Freeport at Tim’s Processing on 100th Street SW in Byron Center, the Plainwell Customer Service Center, and at the Kellogg Biological Station in Hickory Comers. Other stations can be found online at mi.gov/ deercheck. The premise of the method As many people know, fawns are bom during the spring and early summer (late May through mid-June). Therefore, during the autumn deer hunting seasons, the new fawn crop is about six months old. All individual animals in this age class, or cohort, show similar tooth replace­ ment and wear. Given the consistent one-year gap between each year’s fawn crop, each deer age class should have similar tooth wear and other dental char­ acteristics. This premise is the basis for aging deer using this method. Tooth replacement and wear DNR check station per­ sonnel examine the teeth on the lower jaw, or mandible. A deer’s top teeth have similar wear characteristics, but the bottom teeth are often easier to view. Most mammals have deciduous teeth, commonly called baby teeth. Permanent (adult) teeth replace the deciduous teeth and are added as the animal matures. Fawns, at six months old, are easy to identify because they only have four cheek teeth, unlike adults, which have six cheek teeth. Cheek teeth refer to the premolars and molars and can be best viewed in a deer by cutting the cheek and opening the mouth. This practice is most helpful in aging older deer. DNR check station staff­ ers ask permission from hunters before cutting the cheek of their deer. 1 -year-old deer Deer 18 months old, called 1-year-old deer for short, have six cheek teeth. All adult deer have six cheek teeth. So, the next step is to look at the third premolar, which Be "SENSIBLE" about your water! Over 40 years of experience AYNARD'S F WATER CONDITIONING UU?

The outer white-colored enamel is much harder than the dentine. Being softer, dentine wears faster than enamel. This difference in hardness results in different wear rates, creating the “dishing” of the back-most cusp as the outer enamel wears away slower than the dentine, Overall, the cutting surfac­ es of the cheek teeth are duller in 3-year-old deer than in 2- and 1-year-old deer. Those trying to age deer in this manner should be aware that enamel can be stained dark brown with age depend­ ing on the deer’s food source, Typically, brown-stained enamel is found at the gum line, as opposed to the brownish dentine found near the cutting surfaces of the teeth. This is another useful aging tool. Older deer generally have more staining of the tooth enamel, but this characteristic may vary widely, 4-year-old deer Deer that are 4 years old and older are more difficult to age than younger deer. They lack the more distinguishable characteristics used to decisively age a younger deer, Successive years of wear generally result in teeth that are worn down to the gum line by age 10. Someone attempting to age these deer will have to try to extrapolate what level of wear the teeth show compared to 3-year-old deer and 10-year-old deer. This is easier said than done, For this reason, DNR staff only record the ages of deer up to three years old, lump­ ing all deer age 3 and older into one category for the sake of accurate data collection. With practice, accurately determining an older deer's age from tooth wear becomes easier. In many cases, DNR check station workers may ask for a second opinion to try to most accurately age a deer for a successful hunter. Whether looking at a fawn from this year’s crop or a big buck that has been in the woods for a good long time, using the techniques of this tooth replacement and wear method can help successful hunters, researchers, biolo­ gists and others determine the age of deer bagged or found dead across our Michigan woodlands. a s USED PARTS 616.89170303 9980 Cherry Valley, Caledonia 49316 A is the third cheek tooth from the front of the jaw. In most 1-year-old deer, this tooth is a tri-cuspid (a tooth with three points or cusps), which is meaningful because a tri-cuspid third premolar is a baby tooth. At about 18 months of age, this tooth is replaced by a bicuspid (a tooth with two cusps or points) adult tooth — easily distinguishable from the tricuspid baby tooth. Some 1-year-old deer have replaced this tooth with a bicuspid adult premolar. At this age, the overall condition of all the lower teeth is sharp, with little wear and little staining. 2-year-old deer Deer that are 2 years old have six cheek teeth — just like a 1-year-old deer — and a bicuspid adult third premo­ lar, but the overall condition of the teeth shows more indi­ cations of wear. Specifically, look at the cusp farthest back in the mouth of the deer. A 2-yearold deer will have a cusp that is slightly flat on top. A 1-year-old deer will have a back cusp that is barely worn, with a pointed tip, if it is protruding through the gum line at all. Adult deer have what appear to be “longer” faces than fawns. As a deer grows, its jaw lengthens, expanding the opportunity for more teeth to fit comfortably with­ in the mouth. As this happens, the back teeth begin to grow and pro­ trude from the gum line, exposing them to wear and tear from food. For this rea­ son, in adult deer, it is help­ ful to assess the condition of wear of the back teeth — these teeth are relatively new. This technique is easier to use to accurately age a deer than by examining the first molar. However, despite this key role the back cusp plays in aging a deer, caution must be used. The overall condition of the teeth - tooth staining, and sharpness, for examples - is a useful aging tool as well, This is a skill not easily taught but learned throughout the course of looking at many deer. 3-year-old deer Deer that are 3 years old can be identified by looking at back cusp on the back molar too. These deer will have a “dished” appearance on this cusp. A tooth in such condition is worn down, more prominently exposing f M,/ 11 I �c\ I I The Sun and News, Saturday, November 17, 2018/ Page 15 sS?

The exception was Richard Robertson, who is compensated for the dual roles of treasurer and administrator. Robertson’s rate of pay for his treasurer’s role was lowered, with a similar amount shifted to his administrator duties. The officials’ salaries will be: Supervisor, $30,366; treasurer, $11,600; clerk, $57234; and trustees, $4,288 and a payment of $75 per meeting, A motion for the purchase of three season HiViz coats for the fire department was approved.

It kind of brings it right to light for everybody, so thanks for all you guys do.” Harrison wrapped up the meeting, providing a Thanksgiving sentiment to those who serve and thanking the board for their contributions. He also encouraged every­ one to come out for the Christmas in Caledonia celebration on Main Street on Dec. 1 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. I r Caledonia school board ponders millage options Sue Van Liere Staff Writer Community Caledonia Schools Board of Education members are discussing pos­ sible funding strategies in the wake of its failed proposal in the Nov. 6 election to over­ ride the Headlee millage roll­ back. by presentation A Superintendent Dedrick Martin and Director of Finance Sara DeVries at the school board meetin Monday described how, without an override, the dis­ trict’s 18 mills for operation can never go higher than doortoZ □dmsm ui eddiz tooifiw srh aril abn rA msqu2 flirtsM oonsniH ffibnoM luodtiw .< a'ionl ran two 17.8452. It could possibly be reduced even more until its expiration in 2020, resulting in a significant reduction. For the 2018-19 school year, the rollback results in a of approximately loss $71300, they said. It was their recommendation to the board to wait and see what happens with Headlee in 2019 and, if the district experiences another reduction, to make a decision at that time. Martin stressed the impor­ tance of educating the community about the Headlee rollback. “I think, regardless, we are going to have to really step up and have a lot of night meetings and other commu­ nications,” he said. “ There’s a lot of misinformation out there.” The board will continue discussing possible options. Discussion of Nov. 6 elec­ tion results elicited congratu­ lations to Marcy White and Jason Saidoo. White retained her seat on the board, while Saidoo will fill the seat being vacated by outgoing board member Mike LoMonaco. In other business, Director of Technology Dan Hubbell and Assistant Superintendent Darell Kingsbury gave a pre­ sentation on PowerSchool, a possible alternative school management software systern. The school currently uti­ lizes Campus. Infinite Hubbell presented pros and cons to both systems, saying PowerSchool would pose a significant annual savings. Yearly costs for Infinite Campus, with an online registration feature, will run approximately $76,448, while PowerSchool would yield a yearly price tag of $37,854 for the first three years, due to the manufacturer extending the district three years of free online registration. Costs after the initial three years would run about $47,854 annually. Another advantage to PowerSchool is the fact that Kent Intermediate School District uses it, which would enable Caledonia Community Schools to integrate with their system, A disadvantage to the switch would be the one­ time cost factor in switching systems. The fee for online registration setup would run $8,000 and implementation and data migration would run approximately $19,000. “Kent ISD also provides a reimbursement because they would like us to be on PowerSchool,” Hubbell said. Hubbell stated that the reimbursement would be $21,000 to offset the price of implementation, so the firstyear costs would run about $43,778, compared to 76,448 to remain with the existing system, “Over five years, you're looking at a $167,000 differ­ ence,” Hubbell said. “That’s significant. That’s something you can’t ignore, so we’re not ignoring it.” The migration process, which would take about 60 days, would not be a simple undertaking. “It’s a painful process,” Hubbell said. “But I think planning well upfront will ease that. “I think it’s painful for more than just me, it’s pain­ ful for staff - everyone because they're learning a new system, especially if you’ve been on the system that you’ve been on for a long time. But I think you're S66 OPTIONS, page 7 In This Issue J Thanks to Troop 3088 for Thankgiving dinner On Wednesday, Nov. 21, Girl Scouts from Troop 3088 delivered a complete Thanksgiving dinner to three deserv­ ing Thornapple Kellogg families.

This firm pre­ viously performed an assess­ ment of county facilities in 2014-15 as part of a facilities master plan. Now, it would review that 2015 facilities assessment and gather data about current challenges and future initia­ tives.

Stam lived on her own until about a year ago. Now she lives with her niece in Hastings, but she’s still active and a lively conversa­ tionalist. Her pastor, Peter Adams of Christ the King Church in Hastings, stopped by to visit this past week as Stam recounted stories from her life. Her face lit up when he walked in the room, making it apparent he holds a special place in her world. Bom Nov. 26, 1918, and raised on a farm along M-37 in Middleville, the former Nellie Brady was the eldest of six children, who lost their father when they were young. Their mother, left to raise the children alone and tend the farm, counted on the children to do their share. Stam remembered how hard she worked during those years. “Did you ever do horses?” she asked, then mimicked her memory of handling that chore: “C’mon horses, let’s go down to the crick so we can get some water!” Stam attended school in Middleville. “In the old schoolhouse, the old one right in Middleville,” she said. “We had to walk back and forth from our farmhouse.” She said the walk to school was a mile or two. She went to school until about the sixth grade, then she had to quit to help on the farm, “We had to,” she said. “If you didn't work, you had nothing to eat. If you wanted potatoes, you had to go out in the field and dig potatoes and bring them in and make something for your supper.” Their farmhouse did not have electricity durin eo her childhood. “How would you like to go out to the farm, get your lantern and walk out there? You got to light your lantern. It’s time to milk the cows, and you’ve got to go over here to the stall and put your lantern on a nail and come back and milk your cows. ite winter activities was sled­ ding. “We’d get our sled and go down our driveway, across the road and right down into the field,” she reminisced. “We’d say to the other kids, ‘We’ve got to look this way and look that way' and make sure there were no cars com­ ing.” M-37, she said, was a gravel road in those days. Fishing was another favor­ ite activity. “I went fishing in Grand Rapids at 4 o'clock in the morning,” Stam said. “You’d go right down on the lake and you had your fishing pole and you had your little lunch. You could stay there all day and throw your lines out and bring in all those fish. I was the only one that cleaned the fish.” . She went on to describe in detail - her process of fil­ leting the fish. Another favorite activity was picnicking at Gun Lake, “We’d take a picnic and go to Gun Lake, and we’d have a big long table,” she said. “All of the food was there, And then we would have our swimsuit and go swimming if we’d want to, and then come in and get our food ready and sit down and have our picnic.” Stam met her husband, Fred, at the county fair in Hastings. She was 33 when they married. He was from Dorr and spent his entire career working at the Kroger warehouse in Grand Rapids, loading boxcars full of fruits and vegetables. He died in February 1992 at the age of 69. They didn’t have children. “I didn’t have time for children,” she said. Stam spent her career working in the factory at Bradford White in Middleville. “I had good work,” she Just like that! “And when I'd get done, my dad says, “Tomorrow when I go to work, you go out there to that stall where the cow comes in, take the shovel and shovel all that ‘stuff’ out.’ “I didn’t sit on my b-u-t-t and do nothing!” In fact, that’s her secret to a long life: Hard work. And, when she wasn’t working, she was active, Stam reminisced about her favorite pastimes as a young­ ster. “Everything from soup to nuts!” she said, bursting into laughter. “Yes, everything from soup to nuts, but my favorite thing was farm work.” “Did you ever milk cows? Did you ever go down to the pasture and say ‘It’s time to get the cows, you better go down and get the cows - it’s time to milk them!”’ She recalled donning hip boots and working for hours in the blueberry fields pick­ ing berries. When she wasn’t working on the farm, one of her favorIl 9 Tijii® Wilf Ite® : NEW j * ORNAMENTS A. 1 you can personalize with a design on the front and back! * only no I! ea A jsJ^ Nellie Stam laughs as she recalls experiences from decades ago. said. “I worked the night shift. I retired from there.” When asked what she made at the factory, Stam became animated: “Hot water heaters! Hot water heaters!” she exclaimed. “What else would you do? Assembly line, that’s what I did.” Stam also described her various church homes. She attended the Methodist church in Middleville as a child and later began attend­ ing a Baptist church.

The presentation was for discussion purposes only. Further evaluation will take place before any action is sought. Hubbell also presented the board with a proposal for 800 new Lenovo Chromebook notebook computers for firstthrough eight-grade students. According to Hubbell, the ratio of Chromebooks to stu­ dents has been 1:1 for several years. He said the effective life-span of a Chromebook is three to four years, depend­ ing on usage and wear and tear. “That wear and tear at the middle school is quite exces­ sive,” Hubbell said. “I don’t think that it is necessarily because they are misusin the devices. But they pick up their devices in the morning first thing, and they carry them around to all of their classes with them all day long.” Hubbell explained that in the elementary and high schools, the Chromebooks are left in the classrooms and students pull them out of a cart and use them upon enter­ ing the classroom. Over the past 18 months, Hubbell said about 700 help­ desk tickets were for the ser­ vice of Chromebooks alone. Over 300 have been taken out of service because they are no longer functional. He also explained that over half of the Chromebooks current­ ly in use are about at the four-year mark. Hubbell said there is cur­ rently $107,000 in the 2014 technology bond fund that is unencumbered. The funds that were tentatively ear­ marked for security cameras for the elementary schools became available due to a State Police grant that will cover the cost of the cameras. Hubbell added that one of the vendors, Lonovo, extend­ ed special pricing through Nov. 15, which is past the purchasing window from a state-wide bid, offering the Chromebooks for $197, with an increase to $247 after that date. Martin felt the $50 per unit savings was significant enough to move forward, and asked Hubbell to write up a proposal for the board. He then approved the order of the Chromebooks at the reduced cost. They are sched­ uled to be delivered on Nov. 20. Trustees expressed their concern about the need for ongoing purchases of replacement Chromebooks. It was suggested that, from now on, they be purchased in rotating cycles, perhaps mak­ ing purchases quarterly, rath­ er than making one bulk pur- • they are misusing the devices. But they pick up their devices in the morning first thing, and they carry them around to all n of their classes with them all day long. Dan Hubbell, Director of Technology chase. Trustee, Bill Donohue suggested the middle schools adopt the same procedures as the elementary and high schools, keeping computers in the classroom on carts, rather then having students carry them from class to class. The board also approved the purchase of a 2018 Ford Transit Van to replace the aging 2007 Transit Van uti­ lized by the Food Service Department. After looking at three ven­ dors, it was decided the van will be purchased from Zeigler Ford of Lowell for $27,459. DeVries presented a recap of the Finance Committee annual audit, conducted by Norman & Paulsen P.C. One of the changes from the last audit was the addition of the new public improve­ ment fund, which was funded by the general fund. According to DeVries, the general fund ended the year with approximately $8.2 mil­ lion. A copy of the audit information can be found on the district website transpar­ ency page. Board members thanked DeVries for a job well done, stating they received much positive feedback from the auditor. “I want to just comment on how close Sara was to the revenue,” Trustee Tim Morris said. “You don't get any clos­ er than this and get away with it. [The auditor] has never seen it." The board approved the audit unanimously. During his board report, Trustee Kyle Clement gave board members a summary of the recent Michigan Association of School Boards delegates assembly he attend­ ed with Martin. “It was good to be there, I think we should always have someone there to represent our school district," Clement said. Martin reported to the board that he had the oppor­ tunity to participate in a conference call with seven other superintendents from around the state, discussing the upcoming state governor transition and issues they'd like to focus on. He also reported that prin­ cipals from all of the district’s schools listened to a presentation on the “Be Nice" program by Christy Buck, executive director of the Mental Health Foundation of West Michigan. “She came and talked to us about the possibility of a ‘Be Nice’ program and what it could look like if we rolled it out to K-12,” Martin said. Martin added that the schools are currently rollin out the program on the secondary level and are looking at other ways to support stu­ dents on the social and emo­ tional side, as well as aca­ demically. Martin gave kudos to Duncan Lake Early Childhood Center Principal Megan Ballmer. Ballmer recently took the initiative to reach out to Green Glove Dryer Company, manufacturer of eco-friendly glove dry­ ers. This prompted represen­ tatives from Green Glove to send a truck loaded with glove dryers which they donated to the center, “If you've spent a lot of time with little kids in the winter, it’s kind of like a simpie gift from God,” Martin said. Share your financial abundance with your family Thanksgivin is almost here. Ideally, this holiday should be about more than turkey, football, Black Friday and Cyber Monday. After all, the idea behind Thanksgivin is to share what we have with our loved ones. But if you want your family to take part in your abundance, you will want to look beyond one day in November. To help ensure you leave the type of legacy you desire, you will need to follow a detailed plan of action, including these steps: • Review your estate plans, If you haven't done so already, take this opportunity to review your plans for managing your estate - and if you haven’t yet drawn them up, it’s never too soon to start. You may want to work with a legal profession­ al to create a will, living trust and other documents essential to your plan. • Preserve your financial independence. If your financial independence were to be jeopardized, your adult chil­ dren might be forced to use their own resources to help support you - an outcome you obviously would never want. How can you protect yourself and your financial assets? For one thing, it's a good idea to work with your legal professional to create a power of attorney, which would enable someone • J possibly a grown child - to make financial decisions for you, should you become incapacitated. Also, you may want to guard yourself against the devastating costs of long-term care, such as an extended nursing home stay. Consider this: The average annual cost for a private room in a nursing home is more than 597,000, accord­ ing to a survey by the insur­ ance company Genworth, Furthermore, Medicare typically pays very little for these expenses, expenses. Consequently, you may want to consider protecting yourself in advance by purchasing long-term care insurance or permanent life insurance with a long-term care provi­ sion. A financial professional can help you evaluate your options and recommend which ones might be appro appro-­ priate for your needs. • Share your wishes with your family. It can take some time to put your plans in place - and, even then, you may need to make changes periodically, based on altered circumstances in your life, such as changes in your mar­ ital status, new family mem­ bers, new property, etc. In any case, as your estate- and legacy-based plans evolve, you’ll want to communicate them to your family because, by doing so, you GET ALL THE NEWS OF BARRY COUNTY! can help spare them some potentially unpleasant surprises when it’s time to settle your estate. Also, by making your wishes known to your family far ahead of when any action needs to be taken, you'll help prepare the right people for the roles you wish them to assume - power of attorney, executor of your estate, and so on. You'll also want to acquaint your family with the legal, tax and finan­ cial professionals you've selected to work on your estate and legacy plans. ■y introducing these profession­ als early on, you can provide your family members with a greater degree of confidence in the overall estate-planning process. Thanksgiving goes by in a blur. But by taking the steps described above, along with others, you can demonstrate the spirit of sharing with your family for years - and possibly generations - to come.

(Photo provided) audience members in Caledonia. (Photo provided) i J Sue Van Liere Sta# Writer The Kent District Library Caledonia Township Branch hosted the Grand Rapids chapter of Guitars for Vets Nov. 15 as part of a week­ long celebration of veterans. The concert, one of eight mini-concerts the group per­ formed for various KDL branches, was designed to highlight the organization and share the impact music can have on lives. As visitors relaxed in front of a warm fireplace, seven veterans strummed their gui­ tars, playing a variety of patriotic, religious and tradi­ tional songs, injecting of sto­ ries and jokes in between. Audience members joined in the laughter and singing. With so many U.S. veter­ ans suffering with post-trau­ matic stress disorder, some are finding hope in an unlike ly place - behind the wood and strings- of an acoustic guitar through the healing power of music. Guitars for Vets is a national organization founded in 2007 by Milwaukee guitar instructor Patrick Nettesheim and Vietnam-era Marine veteran Dan Van Buskirk. According to Guitars4vets. org, Van Buskirk wanted to learn to play guitar, but felt the lasting effects of combat, in the form of PTSD would make it difficult for him to succeed. However, after only a few months of working with Nettesheim, Van Buskirk discovered that the strong spirit that helped him throughout his time in Vietnam was all he needed to play music. Together, the men realized that guitar les­ sons were not only opportu­ nities for self-expression, but Irving Township also human interaction. Regular Meeting 11-14-2018 Nettesheim and Van Meeting called to order at 6:30 Buskirk shared what they pm learned with veterans at the Five board members present and Clement J.

The weekly lessons are individualized and designed to help students learn at their own pace. Diane Cutler, program­ ming coordinator for Kent District Library, specializes in connecting library cus­ tomers with music in a per­ sonal way. She learned of the program earlier this year when invited by a veteran friend to attend his G4V “graduation” performance. “I saw a light in his eyes and a special smile I’ve never seen before,” Cutler said. “As we chatted about why he participates, he told me that while the learning part can be a challenge, the little successes he has discovered show him he can learn this totally new skill. The feel of the wood, the vibration of the strings and the sound of the chords all help to calm and focus him. As he learns the chords, the beauty of the music inspires him to work a bit harder and learn even more.” “When I saw the impact of this group, I knew this would be a perfect partnership with the Kent District Library as we support our veterans and promote music that touches our lives in a personal way.” Guitars for Vets has given away more than’3,000 guitars and provided over 30,000 lessons to veterans.

The storm swept through the area, creating hazardous driving conditions that contributed to 22 report­ ed vehicle accidents in Barry County and one fatality in Ionia County. Accordin to the Barry County Road Commission Tad Managing Director Lamberg, the monetary cost for the snow removal, includ­ ing wages, fuel and salt, totaled $47,000. Continued snow removal and road treat­ ments Tuesday added an equivalent amount, for a grand total of $94,000. “The snow was coming down quickly, and it was so heavy that we were having to deal with picking up large ■-4 '-4 branches breaking off trees while clearing the snow,” Lamberg said. “There were trees and tree boughs bent to the ground because of the weight of the snow.” Road crews were out at 4 a.m. Monday and Tuesday clearing and treating treatin: the roads, putting in an average of 12 hours each day. There are 22 drivers, two loader operators and four mechanics on staff at the BCRC, all on a single shift. “If the drivers come in at 4 a.m., I’m here an hour or two earlier to help get things set for them. It takes teamwork to get a job like this done. Barry is a big county,” Rob Richardson said. Richardson has been a licensed mechanic with BCRC for 30 years.

A statewide Michigan Student Test of Educational Progress (M-STEP) showed that only 44 percent of Michigan third-graders are proficient readers. Educators agree that third grade, when students transi­ tion from “learning to read to “reading to learn,” is cru­ cial. Researchers and educators recognize the importance of third-grade academic profi­ ciency, and many have been alarmed by the performance 4* of a majority of third-graders across the state. That That isis what what fueled fueled the the statewide statewide Comprehensive Comprehensive Reading Law entitled “Read by Grade Three.” . . That That law, law, passed passed inin October 2016, goes into effect in the 2019-20 school year. It requires third-grade students who are more than 1one year behind proficiency in reading to be retained (held back) in third grade and offered an extra year of intensive support. In response to this law, school districts in Barry ‘ ' i County and across Michigan have put several processes in place to make sure that students succeed. Many of the provisions, ranging from teacher training to purchasing new districtwide curriculum, have been phased in over the past few years. “The spirit of this law is to prepare all students to be proficient readers by third grade,” Lakewood Schools Assistant Superintendent Jay Larner Larner said. said. ““Elementary Elementary teachers are working hard to meet all of the needs of our learners to improve literacy.” “We started working on processes and procedures for rade law ngnt right the third grade tne away because we don t want to let our students down,” Jeff Byrne, Maple Valley township Election review finds ballot omission in GRCC trustee race nnt u/oc fidvC rrClo IfUl included on two ballots in Allegan County The Kent County Clerk was informed and subse­ quently confirmed that the Grand Rapids Community College Board of Trustees race was omitted from the ballots in two townships in Allegan County that are part of the GRCC election dis­ trict.

When that review process is complete and approval is received from the state, the county election commission or county election staff con­ ducts a final inspection before sending ballots to print. The state recommends that the city or township clerks also inspect the ballots once received from the county to ensure no errors or omissions. In this case, the GRCC Trustee race and candidate names were omitted from ballots in the qualifying pre­ cincts in Leighton and Wayland Townships; there­ fore, Allegan County ballots were not sent to GRCC Trustee for candidates review. What happens next? The certified results of this race are already subject to a limited recount requested in a petition filed Nov. 26 by trustee candidate Sheryl Siegel. ITiat recount petition was filed following discov cry of a data entry error during the receiving, report ing and certification process. The recount was approved by the Michigan Bureau of Elections late Wednesday, The ballot omission has no impact on the requested recount. Once the recount is complete, the results of the recount will stand as the final tally unless a challenge is filed related to the ballot omission issue. The Kent County Clerk's Office has begun to coordinate the recount in accordance with state election law and hopes to complete the recount ahead of the state's 30-day deadline, which expires Dec. 28. * Caledonia High School students to perform Christmas concerts Sue Van Liere Staff Writer There is nothing like Christmas music to put peo­ ple into the spirit of the holi­ day season.

Bill Hendricks handcrafted a few dolls and asked her husband to deliver them to an agency supporting children in need, Maj.r Hendricks was unable to find such an agency. His wife responded by telling him, “Start one!” Hendricks and the Marines in his reserve unit in Los Angeles proceeded to collect and distribute more than 5,000 toys that year. Seeing the success of the community engagement, in 1948, the commandant directed all Marine Reserve sites to implement a cam­ paign, transforming the local collection of toys into a national community action program. Toys for Tots was conceived. Hendricks’ civilian job as director of public relations at Warner Brothers Studios, led him to become acquainted with many celebrities who he asked to help support the newly created Marine Toys for Tots program. As a favor to Hendricks, Walt Disney designed the first Toys for Tots poster, which included the familiar three-car three-car miniature miniature train train logo, subsequently adopted as the official logo that is still used today. In In 1991, 1991, the the Marine Marine Toys Toys for Tots Foundation was established as an IRS recognized 501 (c)3 nonprofit char­ ity. The Marine Toys for Tots program presently distributes an average of 18 million toys to 7 million less-fortunate children annually. Donation sites in Caledonia are coordinated through the Kent County Toys for Tots chapter, According to the Kent County TFT Facebook page 9 needs are strong for gifts for older children and teens, those between the 10 and 16 years old.

READING, continued from page 1---------------assessment and data coordi­ nator, said. “We used the laws introduction to begin strengthening our literacy programs at the elementary school right away. “The first and most important change that we we made made was was that that interventions interventions became targeted on phonic and phonological skills, not just reading in general, and those skills were specifically monitored for success. It has made a difference with students. We are still working out details as our system develops but looking at our data, we are having less students who need interven­ tions. We are having less students regress over the summer. We believe those changes are because we are build­ ing a better reading foundation for our students.” According to the law, teachers are required to initially assess all students in kindergarten through third grade and identify any possible area of concern for a student in English Language Arts within the first 30 days of the school year. Beginning in the 2019 school year, all students who are at risk of being signifi­ cantly behind in reading will Individual receive an Reading Improvement Plan (IRIP) from the Michigan Department of Education, time they spend reading, which parents will have to Thus, the more a child reads, the more fluent he or she agree to.

Research shows early reading skills connect the dots for all learning that follows Tanett Hodge Staff writer The early years of a child’s education builds a foundation for the child to excel from fourth grade on, and reading is a key part of that foundation. the from Research Reading Children’s Foundation shows that, if a student still struggles with reading after third grade, their comprehension in other subjects will fall behind. Subjects such as history, science and math all require literacy in order to progress. The homework assigned in these subjects also requires competent reading skills. The National Research Council links the inability to read at grade level to a child’s future failures. A long-term study by the Annie E. Casey Foundation discovered that students who were not proficient in reading by the end of third grade were four times more likely to drop out of high school. That study found that 88 percent of students who failed to graduate were struggling readers in third grade, The NRC claims that poor readers tend to have more behavioral and social problems, and the Casey Foundation found that fail- ure to read by third grade may dramatically increase a child’s chances of eventual imprisonment. The Atlantic and Forbes magazines have published articles highlighting the importance of literacy at an early age and the unintend­ ed consequences that occur when children cannot read by third grade. According to educators, this law has been a topic of conversation for several years in the educational realm. In Michigan, schools have been taking steps to ensure that as few students as possible will be held back.

When you invest in lax-deferred vehicles, your money can grow faster than if it were placed in an account on which you paid taxes every year. You also may get a tax deduction for contributions you make today. When you start taking withdrawals from these tax-deferred accounts, typically during retirement, the money is usually taxed at your ordinary income tax rate. • Taxable - Taxable invest­ ments arc those held in a standard brokerage account, outside your IRA or 401(k). While you can pul virtually all types of investments into a taxable account, you may want to focus on those con­ sidered to be most tax-effi­ cient. So, you could include individual slocks that you plan to hold, rather than actively trade, because you will not get taxed on the cap­ ital gains until you sell. You also might consider mutual funds that do little trading and generate fewer capital gain distributions. This is important not only m terms of controlling taxes, but also because the taxes on these distributions can reduce your investments* real rate of return • Tax-free — UTicn you invest in a Roth IRA Roth 401(k), you don't get an immediate lax deduction, but your earnings, as well as your withdrawals, arc tax­ free. provided you do not start taking withdrawals until you’re 59 Vi and you have had your account at least five years. (However, income restrictions do apply to Roth IRAs.) So. given the difference in how taxes are treated in these accounts, how can you choose where to put your money? For example, when would you contribute to a Roth IRA or Roth 401(k), rather than a traditional. lax-deferred IRA or 401 (k)? If you arc in a high tax rale now and expect it to be lower in retirement, a traditional IRA may make more sense, as you potentially get a siz­ able benefit from the lax deduction. But if you are in a lower tax rate now, you have most of your retirement investments in tax-deferred accounts, and/or you can afford to forego the immedi­ ate tax deduction, you might find that the Roth IRA/Rolh 401(k), with its tax-free withdrawals and earnings, ultimately will make more sense for you. But since no one can predict where tax rates will go in the future, having mono)’ in different types of accounts - i.e., lax diversification - can be bene­ ficial. If you only focus on tradi­ tional, tax-deferred accounts, you could end up with larger tax bills than you anticipated when you retire and start tap­ ping into these accounts, par Ocularly when you must start taking withdrawals - called “required minimum distribu­ tions" ~ when you reach 70 By having money in accounts with different lax treatments, you may have more flexibility in structur­ ing your withdrawals during retirement, based on your year-to-year lax situation. There's no formula for achieving an ideal tax diver­ sification. You'll want to consider your own needs and circumstances in choosing the right mix of taxable, tax-deferred and tax-free accounts. Ultimately, taxes should not drive all your investment decisions - but they should not be ignored, cither.

It put limits on Congressional pay (written by James Madison and proposed with the original Bill of Rights, but laid in wait for 200 years). We can play that role once again, but with a differ­ ent approach: Amendments were meant to be limitations on the Federal government, yet we know it keeps expand­ ing.

The reat news is the Constitution was designed to allow the states to propose reforms to limit the government by applying to Congress for a Convention of the States. The states have never completed the task in making application. Every’ time they came close to the required number of applicant states, Congress reluctantly proposed the reforms rather than allowin others to impose them. Now is the time to send a strong message that 11 wc the people of the several states arc ready to enable the states to get back to the Federal government.

Leading the stakeholder forums were representatives from Michigan Leadership Institute, which exists to sup­ port the success of public schools by providing leadership services. They help to examine core values and mission and provide a clear process for updating strate­ gic plans to achieve success. “People come in with their specific ideas of what they think the district needs, but we are trying to help them see the bigger picture,” Steven Tunnicliff, executive director Michigan of Leadership Institute, said. Tunnicliff said it is not about an idea, it’s about what a community values and the schools need. He and West Michigan regional president Dave Killips worked with the group of stakeholders during the forums determining “why” the schools exist, what the real and perceived barriers are that might hold them back and how they might overcome those barriers to become the “gold standard” by 2024. Using Simon Sinek’s Golden Circle concept, Tunnicliff walked attendees through why they wanted what they wanted for the district, not just what they wanted. Tunnicliff and Killips said they were encouraged by the results gathered from both meetings. They said the whys that came to the forefront highlighted a genuine care for the students and community. r 142nd year i.

During the second forum, which 99 percent of the ini­ tial stakeholders returned to, the goal was to focus on four areas of importance, includ­ ing facility and infrastruc­ ture, finance and budget, community school and engagement and teaching and learning. The group was broken into four smaller groups and each rotated to put their ideas of how the school district could accomplish the ideas they had envisioned on large poster boards. “I was so happy to see how engaged the whole crowd was,” Tunnicliff said.

One of the items on the agenda was the second read­ ing of an ordinance prohibit­ ing the establishment or operation of recreational marijuana establishments in the township. During public comment, Caledonia business owner Mackenzie Brown gave the board a short education on the benefits of cannabis. Brown, owner of the on Wellness Boutique Cherry Valley Avenue, spe­ cializes in healing creams and other products made with cannabis, or CBD, oils. Brown said she sees a need for cannabis education through the deficiency of it. “I see that you are all ready to adopt an ordinance banning the recreational cannabis industry in your area,” Brown said, adding that the move is further backing experienced local licensee applicants into a comer. “I just want you guys to think about the tomatoes that you buy in the grocery store today, and I want you to compare it to the memory of the tomato your grand­ mother’s garden. There is a Ian Watson If you guys pass this ban, I will not be able to help people with rheumatoid arthritis or people in severe pain with these creams or anything else, and I think it would be a disservice to the community. If you do not shake hands with the cannabis industry, you are embracing the black market.” Mackenzie Brown difference between a gar­ dener and someone trying to monopolize off from an industry. To have the oppor­ tunity to fill a store with cannabis products made by mom and pop gardeners and professionals with years of experience and putting out high quality products would be a dream come true for me.” “I know exactly what I would put in my store. I know where it would come from. I know who it was made by. After this past month of my doors being open, I know the people who it would go to as well, and more importantly, they know who I am. Can you imagine being me for a minute and knowing all of this informa­ tion and watching a town­ ship ban marijuana facilities simply because they don’t understand?” Brown demonstrated the healing power of one of her products by having a woman in attendance rub cream con­ taining cannabis on her arthritic hand. After several minutes, the woman claimed that the hand treated with the cream had a noticeable improvement, “If you guys pass this ban, I will not be able to help people with rheumatoid arthritis or people in severe pain with these creams or anything else, and I think it would be a disservice to the community,” Brown said. “If you do not shake hands with the cannabis industry, you are embracing the black market.” Brown said she would like to open a recreational dispensary because opening a medical marijuana facility would be cost-prohibitive. She also said various doctors have told her they expect many of their patients to See BAN, page 7 Contributing Writer Middleville’s Village Council approved a measure at its regular meet­ ing that would establish the building at 150 River Street as an emergency housing unit. The Barry County United Way originally approached the council about the need for more emergency housing in Barry County. “Housing is a significant issue in Barry County,” Lani Forbes, United Way’s execu­ tive director, told the council. The situation is especially difficult for a family that has experienced a structure fire, she said. Emergency housing would provide a place for a family to stay until insurance kicks in or they're able to find other temporary hous­ ing. The current plan would have the village remain as owners of the property on 150 River Street and keep it maintained in readiness for a family. When a family is dis­ placed, United Way would contact the village to alert them to the incident and allow the village to prepare for their arrival. Forbes could not provide a number as to how long a family would typically require emergency housing, ■ ■ .

The council will vote on the measure at its next regu­ lar meeting on Deed8. Duane Weeks informed the council that the appraisal of the old Middleville Fire bam on 115 High Street had been submitted to the village, Total market value of the building was placed between $150,000 and $160,000. The information caused renewed discussion among the council members about whether to sell the structure or turn it into a community center, which the Middleville Lions Club has asked the council to do for the past couple of months. Sherry Ronning, council member and president pro­ tern, advocated selling the property because, as she explained, the Lions Club hasn’t sufficiently demon­ strated how it would pay for a community center and because of the limited park­ ing area around 115 High Street. Council member Mike Crammer objected to placing the property on the market because he sees that action only as a “huge step back­ wards” in the village’s pro­ cess to create a community center. Village President Charles Pullen agreed with Ronning, saying that he also “doesn’t I » See HOUSING, pg. 5 •*- In This Issue... • Weather can’t stop Caledonia Christmas celebration • Robotics teams take to the moon at expo, open house • TK sweeps varsity contests in Battle of Barry County • Winter sports seasons previewed I �Frost laws have a chance of melting, if bill passes Transportation Committee to not have a source of water.

K HOUSING, continued from page 1 see where the Lions Club has the funds to buy it [the old Fire bam].” The council decided to have Weeks approach the Lions Club about the direction they have planned for the fire bam while laying out the necessary^ steps they would have to take for them to acquire the fire bam. This would take place while the village simultaneously pre­ pares to put the building on the market. The Council also heard from one of the village’s attorneys, Nikole Canute, who had made adjustments to the employee handbook regarding the legalization of recreational marijuana. Canute's proposed chang­ es would have the employee handbook continue with a zero-tolerance policy on marijuana and would still recognize marijuana as’ an illegal drug, even though it is currently now a legal con­ trolled substance. This would mean that any consumption, possession, or distribution would be in violation of the employee handbook, regard­ less of whether employees did so while on the job or not. Some council members. such as Ed Schellinger, took issue with the fact the employees would be in vio­ lation of the employee hand­ book if they consumed mari­ juana in the privacy of their own homes. Weeks told the council that he had been advised by the village's insurance pro­ vider that the village should continue with a zero-toler­ ance policy toward employ ee use of marijuana, but would clarify with them to see if it made any difference if employees consumed marijuana when they aren't working. The council tabled the issue until its next committee of the whole meeting. The council followed the discussion on employee use of marijuana with a v iew ing of a draft that would outlaw marijuana-related businesses within the village limits. Council members wanted to have public input on the matter of marijuana-related businesses before taking any action. Weeks was instructed to have dates ready to pick from for a public forum on marijuana-related businesses by the next committee of the whole meeting. • * — Vi IQS S?1 f x S' Ute •win. 1 MH k[i a t.:: fc® hs's M®n) than Ul 1 • > I b *- ■ I Wai, fan I, hl. ia \kb h 1e* ”®.

In addition to making gifts to V your family and friends, you also may be interested in contributing to charitable organizations. But before 1A you donate financial assets, such as stocks, you will need to consider several factors, li including taxes, your portfoto balance and the reputa« tion of the charity. Let’s look ' >! at these areas: W* Taxes - Your donations to qualified charities (those that are considered 501(c)(3) organizations by the Internal r’i 11 Revenue Service) can give r1 you tax deductions - if you itemize deductions on your tax return. However, due to recent tax law changes, the standard deduction for 2018 has almost doubled, to $24,000 for married couples, ’ and to $12,000 for single fil­ ers. As a result, you may be less likely to itemize deduc­ tions, so you could have less incentive, at least for tax rea­ sons, to make charitable gifts.

This could be an issue, especially if you repeatedly donate the same types of assets. For example, if you’re donating some growth-oriented stocks, will you lower the overall growth potential of your portfolio? You may want to consult with a financial professional to ensure your charitable gifts will still allow you to maintain a portfolio balance appropriate for your goals and risk tolerance. Reputation of the chai ity — You may want to do some homework to make sure you are giving to a reputable charity.

The next option might not be, ‘Can I have the small little store where I can buy local prod­ uct and buy it and sell it?’ The next guy may come in and say ‘Hey, I’ve got a $6 million offer I want to put on the table, but it’s going to take so much square footage of your downtown township.’ Just consider what the offers are and maybe how people can conform different pro­ posals to bring up to you, and that way when you do decide, and when the boat really is a year from now and we are looking at the face to face licensing, what this commu­ nity wants as far as the distribution of marijuana.” The board unanimously approved the ordinance pro­ hibiting recreational marijuana establishments in the township, In other business, the board approved: -An ordinance to amend the township zoning ordinance regarding the site plan amendment for mass grading. -An ordinance to amend the zoning ordinance allow­ ing pool power covers as an alternative to fences. -A motion for the installa­ tion of a street light at the intersection of 84th Street and Compass Trail. -A motion for the property sale of 250 Maple St., the current location of the village offices. -A motion to make a con­ tribution of $6,000 to The Right Place, West Michigan’s Economic Development Agency.

Teens Against Tobacco Use begins 17th year Another year of tobacco-free education began Thursday, Dec. 6, with the annual Barry County Teens Against Tobacco Use train­ ing. More than 70 high school students from five Barry County high schools partici­ pated in the day-long training to help them become TATU leaders and teams. Later in the year, the teens will visit with fourth graders in their respective school dis­ tricts to share information on tobacco use. Thursday’s training was hosted by YMCA Camp Algonquin, and involved stu­ dents from Delton Kellogg. Hastings, Lakewood, Maple Thornapple Valley and Kellogg. TATU began in Barry County in 2002 and has grown over the years. Teens Against Tobacco Use is a prevention program developed by the American Lung Association. The train­ ing was led by TATU facilita­ tors Emily Churchard, Kara Felder, Hannah Napolillo, Bree Gladstone and Liz Lenz, prevention staff and volun­ teers with Barry County Community Mental Health Substance and Abuse Services and the Barry County Tobacco Reduction Coalition. Now that training is complete, the teen leaders will form TATU teams at their individual schools and will put together their own posi­ tive and interactive presenta­ tions for the fourth graders. According to a press release, the TATU training and the upcoming presenta­ tions are fun, interactive and educational and focus on making the healthy decision to be tobacco-free and nico­ tine-free. High school students and fourth graders learn about the harmful chemicals in cigarette smoke, health problems associated with .tobacco and nicotine, the cost of smoking, and the impact of nicotine on blood vessels, and take part in other activities. TATU is a prevention ser­ vice of BCCMHA and receives grant funding from Barry Community The Tobacco Foundation, Settlement Funds for this program.

That’s a good start, but the team lost some great seniors to graduation last spring and new ones will need to step up to match the success of recent seasons and keep the Caledonia girls competitive with the top teams in the OK Red Conference. “It’s a learning process,” Caledonia head coach Mike Glass said after his team's season-opener against Gull Lake Tuesday. “We’re learn­ ing who is going to lead this team and who is going to be vocal and who is going to step up off the bench. Those are all things we learn about ourselves in the first few games.” The Scots expect good things throughout the season from four-year varsity ball­ player Miyah VanderGeld, a long, athletic forward with the ability to get to the basket and hit shots from outside, Caledonia also brings back senior guard Olivia LeBaron and senior forward Kendall Krupiczewicz as key contributors from the team that knocked off top ranked and previously unbeaten East Kentwood on its way to a district championship last March. The senior group also includes Lexi Stammis, Brooklynne Brooklynne Siewertsen, Siewertsen, Abigail Diekevers, Taylor VanderBerg and Maddie Phillips.

There will be three or four really good teams and then everybody fighting to see where they can come out.” East Kentwood and Grand Haven are expected to be at the top of the list of really good teams in the OK Red once again, with Grandville, West Ottawa, Rockford, Caledonia and the rest look­ ing to keep pace. “I think we'll be right in the mix.

Caledonia girls’ bowling team building new scoring leaders Brett Bremer Sports Editor A new group of girls has some big shoes to fill for the * Caledonia varsity girls bowling team this winter. The Fighting Scots placed ninth at the Division 1 State Finals as a team last winter, after a 14-0 regular season that included an OK Red Conference Championship and was followed up by a regional title. The team’s two individual state qualifiers were both seniors last season, but the team brings back Sophomores Peyton Storck and Kendra Whitman who contributed to the regional championship as juniors, as well as junior Katelyn Frass and senior Kendall Hullinger. Storck was 2last at regionals a year ago and Whitman 40th. Head coach Eric Bottrall, who is entering his 13th sea­ son leading the team, also sees junior Sara Tyler work­ ing to get into the scoring mix in her first varsity sea­ son. They are a hard working team that has the drive to win,” Bottrall said. “They have great team chemistry. Our young girls are working hard to improve their games. They believe in the process.” He said a couple of the keys to his team’s season will be the girls’ ability to stay positive and to “focus on the goal, not the score.” “We have a good group of nil” ladies that are working hard,” Bottrall said. It’s a small roster this sea­ son, so it’ll take some good work from everyone to stay at or near the top of the OK Red Conference, especially with solid teams returning from Grand Haven Hudsonville and Rockford. The Caledonia girls have a non-conference dual at Lowell Tuesday and then will go to the Portage Northern Invite Dec. 14 and the Cedar Springs Invite Dec. 15.

He hit the wall first at the end of the 500-yard freestyle with a time of 5 minutes 59.52 sec­ onds. Erik Zimmerman, Jon Arnold, Kalib Peralta and Dylan Lear won the 200-yard freestyle relay for DK/1K/ Hastings in 2:12.84. Enno Visser won the 100-yard breaststroke for their team in 1:33.94. Tuokkola should be one of the top distance swimmers in the OK Rainbow Conference Tier II again this season. He was eighth in the 500 at the conference meet a year ago, and finished in the top ten in the 200-yard freestyle. head DK/TK/Hastings coach Tyler Bultema, who is in his 15th season leading the program, has a solid group of leaders back and good numnum­ bers overall, but experience is lacking for the most part. The group of returnees also includes senior Alex Fabiano, sophomore Gram Price, sophomore Sam Randall and junior Braxton McKenna. Fabiano was the conference champion in both the 100-yard backstroke and the 100-yard freestyle at the end of his junior season. Price was the team's top diver as a freshman last year, finishing fifth in the conferenceThe team was fourth in the OK Rainbow Tier II a year ago, and coach Bultema expects another similar finish. The Caledonia/Lowell/ South Christian team that won the conference championship a year ago has a solid group of returnees, and Wayland should be in the battle for the top spot once again as well. The group of newcomers the DK/TK/Hastings team is looking to get points from includes Visser, as well as Blake Sheldon and Haltdan Nielsen. The DK/TK/Hastings guys will be back in action Tuesday at home against Allegan and then head to the City Sprints at City High School in Grand Rapids Dec. 15. Sports Editor The Thomapple Kellogg varsity wrestlers have expe­ rienced a lot of wrestling in recent seasons. The Trojans won OK Gold Conference and Division 2 District titles a year ago. TK has six guys in the line-up that have made it to at least the regional round of the individual state tourna­ ment. The Trojans are poised to try and take more steps forward this winter. TK head coach Scott Szczepanek sees that his guys have taken good things from their positive past expe­ riences in championship matches and they're going to try and build on it. Seniors Nathan Kinne and Trenton Dutcher are closing in on 100 career victories. Dutcher, the Trojans' senior heavyweight, was one of his team’s individual regional qualifiers a year ago and fin­ ished the campaign with a 29-9 record. Kinne, who was an individual regional quali­ fier as a sophomore, went 33-9 as a junior at 130 pounds. TK also brings back senior 160-pounder Christian Wright, junior 140-pounder AJ Hall, junior 160-pounder G abe Nelson and sophomore Gabe sonhomore 215-pounder Jake DeJong who who were were individual regional qualifiers last season. DeJong was 30-10 as a freshman. Wright was 32-9 last year, Head coach Scott Szczepanek is also excited for the addition of freshmen Matthew Middleton (140), Hunter Pitsch (103), Ashton Corson (103), sophomore Ryan Holmes (152) and junior Russell Holmes (160) to the varsity line-up. While coach Szczepanek says his team is not as experienced as the top teams on the west side of the state, like Lowell, Allendale and Cedar Springs, the Trojans should find much success. There still aren’t many true challengers for the Trojans in the OK Gold Conference, with a number of teams like still struggling to fill their full varsity line- i / r / J < Mr r• * • 1 ■ •f I LIGHT TRUCK PARTS USED PARTS • PICK UPS • CHE TONS • VANS • SUV’S • JEEPS • 4X4S FUll SERVICE s VOU PUll IT 269-381-2300 ♦ * I* Sf If . h f TWRI I USED PARTS H USED TIRES r gp 1811 LAKE ST, KALAMAZOO ■ All real estate advertising in this newspaper is subject to the Fair Housing Act and the Michigan Civil Rights Act which collectively make it ille­ gal to advertise "anv preference, limitation or discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex. handicap, familial status, national origin, age or mantal status, or an intention, to make an) such preference, limitation or discrimination."

Saturday, December 8, 2018 Gull Lake runs by Caledonia girls in second half Brett Bremer Sports Editor An 11-2 start wasn't enough to make up for how things ended for the Caledonia varsity girls’ bas­ ketball team Tuesday. Gull Lake scored a 49-43 victory over the Fighting Scots in the season opener Tuesday. Caledonia led for the last 14 minutes of the first half after a three-pointer by senior forward Miyah VanderGeld put her team in front 3-2. The Scots scored the games next eight points and eventually led 20-14 at the half. The Blue Devils started the second half on a 13-3 run, taking the lead back on a three-pointer by senior for­ ward Audrey De Waters with 5:47 to go in the third quar­ ter. The Blue Devils stretched their advantage to six points a couple of times, both in the third quarter and early in the fourth quarter, before finish­ ing off the Scots.

They did the little things right and fin­ ished and we didn’t. We missed two or three lay-ups, point blank shots, key rebounds just didn’t go our way. They did it.” De Waters finished with 14 points to lead the Blue Devils. Avery Cook, Ireland Watts, Moneiah Burgess and Lindsay Buckhout had six points apiece. Caledonia got 24 points from VanderGeld, who was 6-of-7 at the free throw line. Glass would have liked to see his girls at the line a little more often. After a virtually foul free first half, the Scots were into the bonus with a minute and a half to go in the third quarter and reached the double bonus in the opening moments of the fourth. “We didn’t attack the rim enough. We settled for a few outside shots,” Glass said. Defensively he was pleased with what his girls did in the half court, but the Blue Devils managed to score in transition too often for his liking. Behind VanderGeld for the Scots, Olivia LeBaron had eight points and Kendall Krupiczewicz and Madison Morris added four each. - z, A r 1 p z & * 'r X * 4 lp ^’ Jp 10^ ill®11 Ilf- BATTLE, continued from page 15 matches and the Trojans went on to a 60-15 win over rival Hastings. It was just the start of win­ ning of the Saxons for the TK student-athletes. The Trojans nearly swept the third annual Battle of Barry County Wednesday, getting the varsity wrestling win and a 41-20 victory from the varsity girls’ basketball team over the Saxons. The TK varsity boys’ basketball team survived a half-court attempt from Saxon sopho­ more Kirby Beck that rattled around the inside of the rim before bounding out to finish off the evening with a 43-40 victory. In between the varsity ballgames TK students won the boys' and girls’ tug-owar, the schools tied the principal three-point shootout 1-1, and the Hastings students won the musical chairs lay-up contest for their school’s lone victo­ rySenior Nathan Kinne got 1 •» the first points for the TK wrestling team, pinning Hastings’ Andrew Miller 4:47 into their 130-pound match. Hastings had a 9-0 lead after two bouts. Following the big string of pins for TK, Russel Holmes scored a 7-3 decision over the Saxons’Tyler Dull at 160 pounds. TK’s Christian Wright started the pinning again by sticking Hastings’ Kenny Smith 3:40 into the 171-pound match. Szczepanek was especially pleased with the wins by Kinne and Wright. “From my perspective, those were their two best wrestlers,” Szczepanek said. “With us coming away with pins in those, those are not inexperienced wrestlers. The two of them, when they ended up in the position to earn a fall, it was because they did a ;series of really good things, that don’t necessarily show up in points. They did the right thing, they reacted the right way three or four positions in a row. When an opportunity to take advantage appeared they took it. That keeps the whole line-up going when another team sees their best wrestlers go down like that it sucks the air out of it a little bit.” TK then got first period pins from Derrick Kim at 189 pounds and Cater West at 215 and Ashton Corson at 103 and Hunter Pitsch at 112. “We work everything to a pin. If guys are not looking for pins when we’re in prac­ tice they’re getting hollered at. They’re getting reminded about it. That is not to say it is always going to lead to pins, but I know we took advantage of weight classes where Hastings is a little inexperienced. Hastings picked up its last points with Devin Dilno catching TK heavyweight Trenton Dutcher to pin him 53 seconds into their matchup.

It was the full-court defensive pressure the Trojans’ applied to the Saxons that was the key to the bailgame, TK led 26-8 at the half. “We played (Tuesday) and we kind of had a slow start (in a loss to Holland Christian), some of those first-game jitters and that, so that was one of our points of emphasis going into tonight to try and get off to a good start,” TK girls’ basketball coach Ross Lambitz said. “I thought the intensity we had from the get-go, on both __ ends, we were aggressive offensively but the defense keyed all of it. We go some stops and were able to get some baskets that led to turnturn­ overs for us early.” Sophomore Paige VanStee, who joined the var­ sity for districts as a freshman, led TK with 17 points, Senior Sydney Coffman put in 11 points. VanStee had a three-pointer midway through the third quarter that pushed the TK lead to 32-13 after the Saxons started the second half with a couple buckets. Hastings was led by senior guard Megan Deal’s six points. She was the only Saxon with more than three points. The Saxons could have helped themselves at the free throw line, but were just 7-of-21 at the line. The varsity boys’ basket­ ball game was the most com­ petitive contest of the eve­ ning. It was the Saxons who started on a little 5-0 run. TK didn’t score until a triple by senior guard Isaiah Guenther fell through with 3:30 to go in the opening quarter, and Beck quickly answered that with his second three of the game. TK pulled even for the first time early in the second quarter, and this time it was the Trojans who put the Saxons in a scoring drought, drought. Hastings didn’t score in the first the sec sec-­ first four four minutes minutes of of the ond ond quarter quarter as as TK TK built built aa 16-8 lead with the help of threes by sophomores Cole Shoobridge Austin Shoobridge and ana Austin VanElst. TK led 17-14 at the half and started the second half with another three by VanElse. Again, the Saxons struggled to score getting their their first first points points of of the the secsec­ ond ond half half on on aa bucket bucket by by Rian Rian Allen nenrlv Allen nearly fnnr four minntee minutes into the half. The Trojans could never pull away. Hastings took the lead back backfinally finally with with 3:24 3:24to to lead goininthe thefourth fourthquarter quarter(32(32go 31) on a short jumper by point guard Elijah Smith. VanElst made a nice play to tap a missed free throw by teammate Colson Brummel back to Guenther back at the free throw line with a little over two minutes to play and Guenther buried a shot to put TK back in front. It was Guenther who car­ ried the Trojans on the score­ board the rest of the way. He converted a three-point play with about a minute to go. He was six of seven at the free throw line down the stretch, although coach Rynearson did want to get after him about that one miss after the game. V. Beck hit a three-pointer with 5.2 seconds on the clock to get his team within 42-40 at the time. Guenther hit the first of two free throws with 2.4 seconds to play, to put TK up one, but missed the second. After more than five hours of high school sports, an unlucky bounce off the rim for the Saxons and a fortu­ itous one for the Trojans, was all that prevented overtime in the end. “It’s always fun to beat Hastings and I’m sure they’d say same thing,” say the Rynearson said. “It is just fun for both squads. Their student section was loud, ours was loud, it was fun. I wish we could do it on a Friday night. 1 think you'd get even more people in the gym here. “Needless to say. both teams fought hard. Beck is one heck of a player. We threw two or three different guys at him and when we stopped him from driving he would just pull-up and knock shots down. He dam near made that shot from half court. I was in perfect line with it when it left his hand, and I was just thinking all right I’ve got to set up a play here for overtime.” Beck led the Saxons with 22 points. Guenther scored 12 of his team-high 19 points in the fourth quarter. VanElst fin­ ished with 13 points and Shoobridge had five. TK’s boys are now 1-3 after opening the season with losses to Grandville, Hamilton and Holland Christian. »ft '■stii to lltt Al 1 <i|r -Wil • I lliiflrrr < Stent * y : J 'iiM X / < / / / f L I �NS Brett Bremer $ I ■a I> b 's ML ■ w; *• XL‘1. b? ii k IUA S' A. i" S; Nil F f ifli1 ! ’lib i* . k'Mjji Sports Editor The strength, size, and body control Caledonia senior Emily Petrosky used to put down volleyballs and fly down mountains for the Fighting Scots is going to be used to move a boat down the river for the Michigan State University Spartans.

She rushed back home to get a camera and was happy to see the raptor was still watching the field when she returned. According to nationalgeographic.com, the snowy owl is a patient hunter that perches and waits for prey, using its keen eyesight and hearing. It can even hear rodents burrowing underground. ProjectSnowstorm.com, a website dedicated to the white daytime owls J advises people to keep their distance from the birds. Klinge was thrilled to see the owl a second time, but enjoyed the view from afar. • 1 Staff Writer Violations to the odd/even parking ordinance was a sub­ ject of contention during Wednesday’s Caledonia Village Council meeting. Roger Loring, department of public works manager, said that during recent heavy snows, plow drivers encountered many vehicles blocking their way due to people not parking on the designated sides of the streets. “We went out three or four times, Loring said. “We aver­ aged between 12 and 17 cars a night parked illegally. The ordinance, which can be found on the village web­ site, under chapter 5, section 5.7. According to the ordinance, on any even-numbered day of the month before April 15, or after Nov. 1 of any year, no motor vehicle or other vehicle shall be parked on or in that half of any public street withwith­ in the village adjacent to odd-numbered buildings between midnight until 6 a.m.; on any odd-numbered day of the month from Nov. 1 to April 15, no vehicles shall be parked on or in that half of any public street within the village adjacent to even-numbered building, from midnight to 6 a.m. Citizens are urged to follow the guidelines in order to avoid being ticketed, Loring also reminded citi­ zens that Christmas tree pick­ up service will again be offered after the holidays, However, certain guidelines apply.

Supervisor Township initially Mike Bremer brought the ordinance for­ ward to the board, citing the fact that 54 percent of town­ ship residents voted against the Nov. 6 state ballot pro­ posal legalizing recreational marijuana. Before the vote Monday, Trustee Ross DeMagged voiced his concern about ordinance language. He said the language in Section 3 of the ordinance, “Thomapple In other action, Bremer informed the rest of the board that the township code enforcement officer, as well the zoning administrator, “were at the [Barry County] courthouse ... with an issue from a resident.” The issue concerned a resident who had been using their proper­ ty for a commercial purpose to sell cars. The court ruled in the township’s favor and the resident was ordered to pay $60. The resident is appealing the decision. The township finance committee approved invoic­ es totaling $102,427, which was brought before the township board for its approval. The board approved the bill unani­ mously. Township hereby prohibits all marijuana establishments within boundaries of the Township" could affect both recreational and medical marijuana establishments because of the use of the word “all.” DeMagged said he did not want to pass any ordinance that would ban medical mar­ ijuana establishments. Bremer, as well as other board members, were able to convince DeMagged that the ordinance would only affect recreational marijuana estab­ lishments because the language included a line that qualified the action as per­ taining to the recreational marijuana law. The board unanimously voted in favor of ordinance. Search is on for new Caledonia village manager Sue Van Liere Staff Writer Bill Neil and Jean Soest were given a warm welcome from fellow board members as the two served their first meeting as trustees at of Monday’sVillage Caledonia meeting. “It feels strange sitting in John’s seat,” Soest said, referring to her predecessor, Trustee John Dailey, who died in July. Neil also thanked every­ one for welcoming him. The search is on for a new village manager. Sandy Stelma, who has filled the role since 1999, will retire in May. Jennifer Lindsey, a member of the village hiring 'committee, ’ reported that the process of reviewing appli­ cations has begun. “We’ve reviewed the resumes that have come in and have started formal inter- 1 lliS rig lai moil 1 ad? as snitaam sbnoM nobakD al Ji a' nrto I inmatai aanmT i bait 4 4 I lol ano zariT Li ■ t.l . 1 । views at this point,” Lindsey said. “We’d like to have a couple [applicants] come before council hopefully for the January meeting.” Dwayne Ruthig, general manager manager of of Caledonia Caledonia Farmers Elevator, addressed the the council council for for aa second second time, time, proposing proposing the the purchase purchase of of two parcels of property from the village. The parcels, approximately 0.66 acres in size, adjoin the elevator property, running parallel to Kinsey Street, west of the village offices.

Trustee Eric VanGessel made a motion that the village agree to move forward with the sale of the parcels to Caledonia Farmers Elevator with the agreement that final details would be presented to the council once determined. seconded the Lindsey seconded motion, and it passed unanimously. The sale of the property at 250 S. Maple also will move forward once details are worked out with the township.

The recount resolved the result as far as Barry County ballots cast in the race, but there is a second question left to resolve: The GRCC candidates were omitted from the ballots in two town­ ships in Allegan County, which involves a total of 1,611 registered voters. In another Election Day difficulty in Barry County, efforts to correct a township ballot led to problems after the polls closed, according to Barry County Clerk Pamela Palmer. “The card for one town­ ship needed to be repro­ grammed due to an error on the original ballots that said * laoasB V ,1» . isaiei w J -'2 h :: J r 4 Wj i 1 * I IIISIJE- ‘Vote for one’ and should have said ‘Vote for two,”' Palmer said. She asked a pro­ grammer for Governmental Business Systems, which provided the software, how to proceed as far as repro­ gramming it. “I was told I only needed to reprogram the one township,” she said, That w as the source of the county wide computer glitch on the night of the election. A simple change on a township ballot “seems really insignificant," Palmer said Tuesday, “but even something that minor throws it all off.” The problem delayed the public report of the election results and required Palmer and her crew to work, literal- ly, night and day and over the following weekend, to man­ ually count the vote and input the numbers into a spreadsheet so that it could be posted online, The integrity of the elec­ tion was not in question; preliminary tests of the paper ballots ballots and and tabulating machines were flawless. Palmer said. There was no question about the outcome as far as the paper ballots and the tabulation machines, she said.

From plannin togethers to building out a perfect menu for the events, there can be difficulties for hosts and guests alike to ensure proper nutrition is still top of mind. Instead of sacrificing taste or eating less, aim for simple changes that give you the energy to power through the busy season. For example, instead of opting for a carb-loaded breakfast in the morning, try a low-carb Milk Chocolate Protein Muffin, which takes just a few minutes of prep and microwave time. The quick cook time leaves you with ample opportunities to run errands or divvy up precious seconds toward other activities, while the protein can fuel you for the day ahead. Almost nothing beats warm soup on a chilly day, and this Butternut Squash and Pear Soup provides feel­ good flavor without weighing you down. Finally, when snacks are on the mind — as it tends to happen when constantly on the go - Coconut Muesli Clusters are simple to make and won’t undo the nutritious efforts you’ve made throughout the day. This full menu of tasty recipes is part of the Atkins low-carb lifestyle, a long­ term, healthy eating approach focused on high-fiber carbohydrates, optimal protein and healthy fats. The plan also aims to reduce levels of refined carbohydrates, added sugars and the “hidden sugar effect,” - when carbohydrates convert to sugar when digested. You don’t see the sugar, but your body does.

The two second ones involve much lower funds, but a lot more red tape and bureaucracy.” Village engineer Jon Moxie gave an update on existing village projects. “Some exciting stuff going on,” Moxie said. “First on the SAW [Michigan total DepartmentofEnvironmental Quality Stormwater, Asset Management and Wastewater Program] project, we’re getting close to having something to present to you folks and/or the township. We'll be looking probably towards first thing next year at either a council meeting or a workshop.” Moxie also reported that the downtown parking proj­ ect is under draft and should go out for public notice soon. He said they then plan to meet in January in order to meet the February submittal deadline. “The biggest news is Kinsey Street,” Moxie said, “Sandy and 1 met with Grand Valley Metro Council Group, and we were able to get $300,000 towards a project on Kinsey Street. What we're thinking is to try and do a section from Maple Street up to Main Street first. That's the section that is the worst shape.” Moxie said they also will be reaching out to Caledonia Fanners Elevator to see if its owners would be willing to partner in the project. The Village president Todd Grinage agreed. “Even though there was some dreary weather and rain, I think, all in all, there was a lot of community out­ reach and more people there than last year,” Grinage said. “I think the chamber of com­ merce and all of those who volunteered to help did a very good job.” 1 w ’ -aii_ J FINANCIAL FOCUS * e Provided by Andrew McFadden fajita and Jeffrey Westra of Edward Jones 213SIU u funding is slated for 2021.

In her manager’s report, Stelma said the Christmas in Caledonia celebration went well despite a few roadblocks that were not properly placed and poor weather conditions. hzz&a J* daWi It probably doesn't happen as much as you'd like, but you may occasionally have some extra disposable income. For example, per­ haps you have recently received, or will soon receive, a year-end bonus. Or maybe you will get a sizable tax refund in just a few months. Wherever this money comes from, you will want to put it to good use. Should you use the cash to pay down debts or should you invest it instead? There’s no simple answer, and everyone’s situation is different, but here are a few suggestions for helping you make a good choice: • Evaluate your cash flow, If you already have enough cash to meet your daily living expenses, you might lean toward investing the money, but if you are just getting by, possibly due to heavy debt payments, then you might be better off using your new­ found funds to reduce your debt load. Another way of possibly reducing your debt load is to build an emergency fund containing three to six months worth of living expenses, with the money kept in a liquid, low-risk account. Once you have such a fund, you could use it, instead of going into debt, to 35:^2 jngCSijl 9 ft. ■ L n Over 40 years of experience What’s smarter - paying off debts or investing? ■knc&ter 'r - pay for unexpected costs, such as a new fumace or a major car repair. • Evaluate your debts. Some of your debts are actually more “expensive” to you than others. This expense level doesn’t necessarily refer to the size of the debt, however. You might have a large mortgage, for instance, but because your interest payments are typically tax deductible, your “after-tax” interest rate may be relative­ ly modest. Therefore, you might consider using your excess cash for investments, rather than paying down your mortgage. But if you have consumer loans or credit cards that carry a high interest rate and whose interest payments are not deductible, pay­ you might be better off paying down this debt. • Evaluate your investment opportunities. You may have heard that one season or another is a “better” time to invest - but there's really no strong evidence to support this claim. However, now that we are nearing the end of the calendar year, and only ‘ a few months away from the; tax-filing deadline on April 15, you may want to take advantage of at least one investment time-related opportunity. Specifically, you could use whatever extra money you have to fully fund your IRA, if you hav­ en't done so already. For the 2018 tax year, you can con­ tribute $5,500 to a traditional or Roth IRA, or $6,500 if you are 50 or older, (Depending on your income, you may not be able to con­ tribute the full amount to a Roth IRA.) You've got until the April 15 deadline to fully fund your IRA, but if you have the money sooner, why wait? The quicker it's in your account, the faster it can go to work for you. One final suggestion: If you have a company match as part of your 401(k) or sim­ ilar retirement plan at work, consider contributing enough to get your employer's full matching contribution before you pay down debts - don t leave this “free money” on the table, Your year-end bonus, tax refund or other source of beyond-the-paycheck money can help you make progress toward your financial goals — so evaluate your situation and options carefully before making any moves. It will be time well spent. This article was written bv Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.

We want to co-locate where possible. II? s& approval, the requirement to do that,” Harrison said. Harrison added that, if the site plan investigation were to occur, it may indicate that the nearby water tower owned by the township which has open space, may be an available alternative for cell company antennas. “Going further, there are financial considerations of current and future leases, which also play into this,” Harrison said. “But from a land-use standpoint, that’s what we’re asking the plan­ ning commission to look at, regarding the proliferation of towers and the availability of existing space.” Trustee Dale Hermenet asked why a new tower would be necessary. Treasurer Richard Robertson, who also serves as utilities administrator, said that, while he can’t speak for the village, when he first became aware of this issue, he obtained records through the Freedom of Information Act, dating back to 2016. “This is the way I under­ stood it from my reading,” Robertson said. “The village was approached by a repre­ sentative of Skyway Towers, whose business is to find cell tower locations.” Robertson said there was an exchange of emails between Skyway and the village regarding the proposal, spanning a period of about two years. “I think, in January 2017, the village adopted an ordi­ nance to amend its zoning ordinance that spoke directly to amendments in the tele­ communications tower ordi­ nance, and then actually in April of this year, the village signed a lease option and lease for the actual construc­ tion of the tower,” Robertson said. He said that, typically, this would require a site plan or special land use, however, this does not apply to proper­ ty owned by the village. “That’s what this resolu­ tion is asking, that essentially the essence of the village ordinance is that we’re trying to limit the number of towers and trying to minimize the visual obtrusiveness of more towers,” Robertson said. “We want to co-locate where possible. “We’re simply asking that the applicant - in this case, Skyway Towers - demon­ strate that there is no co-location space available. That was initially inserted into the resolution of the village. It was actually stricken. The record will show that the applicant never provided an inventory of towers.” Richardson went on to say that the hope is that this res­ olution would have the vil­ lage or applicant adequately demonstrate that the existing water tower, which has cell antenna space available, is not a suitable space for their communications equipment. During public comments, Caledonia Village Trustee Eric VanGessel addressed the board regarding the Skyway tower project and criticized Harrison for Facebook posts he had made regarding the issue. 1 ■i u 7 ■ \* * .< CV L» CSSS S A % S!‘ i 2'* 4 L * A Mim K KJIK 0 V u< F1 ' uillf’G 01“^^ t 4 1 A?

They were not entirely accurate. The manner of the postings gave the wrong impression. A couple of those items are the concept that the village - I think that the term that was used was ‘bent its own rules’ or ‘violated its own rules.’ We don’t bend rules. We follow rules or we break them. We don’t bend them. I frankly was not happy with that insinuation.” “In the figures that were shared, I think the number was $87,000 shared as a total revenue,” VanGessel contin­ ued. “I’ve seen that line of the budget and I want to say that is a correct figure, in terms of the revenue that’s collected from the leasing of antennas on both towers. “At no point in time we were discussing or it was believed that Skyway towers would impact 76th st. [township tower] or the revenue coming off that. The clear impression that any reader would get if they read the Facebook post is that all of the antenna revenue is now at risk, that water bills would be going up 25 percent, “I understand there is pas­ sion on both sides of this issue. I think what it has done is it has revealed that we can improve on how we share information with each other, how we can conduct this dialogue. I know agen­ das were shared with mem­ bers of the public and town­ ship early on. Maybe it Richard Robertson, Caledonia Township Treasurer wasn't clear what it was exactly that was being pro­ posed in it, but I think there is room for improvement. I think the lesson learned here is pointing fingers at each other, and one side blaming the other is just not produc­ tive, and it’s not productive to do it on Facebook.” “1’11 respond because I was broached specifically,” Harrison said. “You’re frus­ trated, clearly. We were as well. Facebook wouldn’t be my first choice. It wasn't my first choice. I attended a vil­ lage council meeting and expressed in a public forum which you are suggesting is an appropriate forum. I expressed it there, and over two weeks went by, with you being the only council mem­ ber to even seek for informa­ tion. “After that two-week peri­ od, I received an agenda that said it was slated for approv­ al by the village planning commission, so really the only official response I got was the issuance of an agen­ da to move it ahead, not to respond to our concerns, so my first avenue to address our peers was at their public meeting to the council, so in essence, received no official response. “To your credit, you are the only person who asked for further information. But the response I received was posting to move it ahead for approval at the village plan­ ning commission. I attended that meeting and reiterated our concerns and, since that time, have received no offi­ cial response or desire to address concerns raised. So I think we’re in agreement, it’s not that showing up at public meetings, having one-onones are preferred, but when those had failed, it wasn't without forethought or with­ out discussion. We needed to go to the public, because there is a real financial impact potential here, literally about to happen at the planning commission meet­ ing. We felt we tried tradi­ tional avenues and received no response, so let’s get the public involved.” “The nature of the posting is why I’m here,” VanGessel said. “If the posting had been, ‘We encourage the public to come out because there is a material issue on the table that could have impact on water rates,’ I would not be up here. Attempting to comprehensively cover this complex topic in a Facebook posting is just not possible. It would be a War and Peace novel trying to do that.” “At the root of this I think there are two things,” Eric VanGessel, Caledonia Village Trustee Harrison said. “One that both of us have ordinances that say the less towers the better. That’s our goal. Then if they can share towers, that’s a goal. The difference is, you have a provision that says, unless it’s on our property. We don’t have that provision in our ordinance and that's the concern I raised when I went to the village council, and that’s the concern when I went to the planning com­ mission. That's the concern that’s contained in the reso­ lution we passed tonight. We all say less towers are better. You have an exception that says, ‘unless it’s on our prop­ erty.’ Sometimes it's OK for government government to to exempt exempt itself, itself, but to transfer that exception to a private company with, really, the deciding factor of because we can make money - that's not a good way to run government.” “The village has different laws than the township,” VanGessel replied. “This township has different ordinances than other townships. Grand Rapids has different ordinances than Detroit. Michigan has different laws than Illinois. “If you’re criticizing us for not mapping to your ordi­ nances, then I’m sorry, we are a separate...” “It’s the principle of exempting yourself from the rules that others have to follow,” Harrison interjected, “I would suggest this is the appropriate forum in which to share,” VanGessel said, “I raised it Nov. 5th to you directly at your council meet­ ing,” Harrison replied. “I’d like to see a change.” VILLAGE OF MIDDLEVILLE 2019 MEETING SCHEDULE of 109485 trj The MIDDLEVILLE VILLAGE COUNCIL meets regularly on the second and fourth Tuesdays of every month at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers.

The Caledonia girls look to keep working their way up the OK Red Conference standings this season after a fourth-place finish in the conference a year ago. The OK Red season starts at East Kentwood Jan. 4. That is the next competition on the schedule for the Caledonia girls.

Caledonia finished behind those four conference foes, Grandville, Hudsonville, Rockford and West Ottawa at the CCCAM Invitational Freshmen Mikayla Babb and Gracie Frederick will look to make their mark on the varsity as well.

They show up to various events and, in this case, they organize various events. “They put us to work as payback in the concession stands or out there cleaning the roads but, whatever it is, we certainly know that you do this not for anything but passion, love and commit­ ment to the Caledonia com­ munity and the students in general. “So, on behalf of the school district, we'd like to thank you for your years of dedication and service.” LoMonaco said, “I would like to thank everyone I have served with, both today and in the past, for the last eight and a half years. “Current and past board members, administrators and staff members. I consider myself very fortunate to have had the opportunity to serve and work with such individuals high-quality committed to developing our kids. I'd also like to thank my wife Katheryn and family for allowing me to spend time as a board member, Each of my kids attended all 13 years in Caledonia. “As they are making their way in the world, not a week Superintendent Dedrick Martin presented Mike LoMonaco with a gift of appreciation from the board.

So thank you.” “I believe our district’s best days are ahead,” he added. “Our community on the growing edge of Kent County is poised for continued growth and expansion, This growth also brings challenges with it. One high school or two? How do we address elementary schools reaching their capacity? Needs for athletic facilities upgrades and planning, pass­ ing bonds and millages.

After debating the issue, the council voted, 4-3, to set three public input meet­ ings about allowing recre­ ational marijuana busi­ nesses within the village limits. Council Council members members Schellinger, Amanda Fisk, Ronning and Sherry President Charles Pullen voted in favor; Mike Lytle, Mike Cramer, and Phil Van Noord voted against it. Pullen cast the final vote,which favored hold­ ing the meetings. Lytle, Cramer and Van Noord indicated that it was unnec­ essary to hold three public meetings on the issue. Schellinger was the council member who pro­ posed having three public input meetings so that “all sides could be heard" on the issue. So far, many municipalities across the state, including Thornapple Township, have decided to opt out of allowing recre­ ational marijuana businesses within their bound­ aries.

Currently, the DDA has committed $58,000 for the design of the amphitheater and the site plan.

Schmidt responded, say­ ing, “We have been working with them." Lytle cast the only no vote on the motion to move ahead with the project. Ian Watson Contributing Writer The Middleville Middleville Development Downtown Development Authority approved the first steps of the riverbank amphitheater project during a special meeting earlier this month. Fleis & VandenBrink construction will begin working on the amphitheater design, with current projec­ tions having the design of the amphitheater ready by the end of January 2019. The amphitheater will be at 114 River Street. The move marks a signifi­ cant step for the riverbank amphitheater project, which has been delayed “for a considerable amount of time,” according to DDA director Michael Schmidt.

Last year, MADA relaunched this program and received many fantastic entries, according to a press release from Hannah Reynolds, program coordi­ nator with the Michigan Arbor Day Alliance. “We loved seeing the cre­ ativity and talent of our Michigan fifth graders,” Reynolds said. “We are bringing this contest back again for 2019. This will be a statewide contest open to all fifth-grade students.” Students are encouraged to create an original poster featuring the theme. First, second, and third place win­ ners will be chosen by popu­ lar vote. Prizes will include a gift certificate for the win­ ning student, a tree planting for the school or community, and a gift card for the partic­ ipating teacher to help pur­ chase classroom supplies. The first-place winner also will be invited to be recog­ nized at the State Arbor Day Celebration in Lansing. Trees are great teaching tools, Reynolds said. Teachers can include this contest in lesson plans by talking about native trees that bees utilize for nesting and food. Classroom activi­ ties and lesson plans can be found on MADA’s website, miarbordayalliance.org. All entries must be received by mail by March 4, 2019.

II ■» 'll F'• As the year winds down, you may want to look ahead to see which areas of your life you can improve in 2019. Perhaps you'll decide to exercise more, eat healthi­ er foods, reconnect with old friends or volunteer at a school or charitable organi­ zation. All these goals are certainly worthwhile - but you also may want to add some New Year’s financial resolutions to your list. Here are a few ideas to consider: • Boost contributions to your employer-sponsored retirement plan. Good news! Contribution limits will be increasing for many employer-sponsored retire­ ment plans. For 2019, you can contrib­ ute up to $19,000 (up from $18,500 in 2018), or $25,000 (up from $24,500 in 2018) if ‘ ‘ to your you‘’re 50 or older 401(k) or similar employ­ er-sponsored retirement plan. It’s usually a good idea to contribute as much as you can afford to your employer’s plan, as your contribu­ tions may lower your taxable income, while any earnings is growth tax-deferred. (Keep in mind that taxes are due upon withdrawal, and withdrawals prior to age 59 ‘/z may be subject to a 10% IRS penalty.) At a minimum, put in enough to earn your employ­ er’s matching contribution, if one is offered. • Try to “max out” on your IRA. Even if you have a 401 (k) or similar plan, you can probably still invest in an IRA. For 2019, you can put in up to $6,000 in a tradi­ tional or Roth IRA (up from $5,500 in 2018), or $7,000 (up from $6,500) if you're 50 or older. (Income restric­ tions apply to Roth IRAs.)

Lucas Spoor rescinds his request on Jan. 2 that Orangeville Township support his master plan for “The Landing on Gun Lake,” which includes a reduced number of boat slips, a multi-use office and condo­ minium spaces. “Spoor has asked the board to forget about his strategic plan because the game has changed,” says Orangeville Township Trustee Robert Perino, suggesting that, because the township has ceded planning and zoning to Barry County, Spoor no lon­ ger needs township approval and will take his proposal to the county for needed sup­ port. At its meeting on Jan. 22, the county planning commis­ sion unanimously denies a text amendment to Spoor’s proposal that would have allowed marinas in mixeduse zoning districts. najteJ (ifiiO bi£od isdmun rnabieoi v bori! gto bn£ 1£ i bi£od 1 vtib w H inimbA ug lot soiotns l gnilon ■r jonnhlq noilqqii .2YB? nsonoo boB । gnhub awsn IS)dgU£l i tonsils irienwol d 2SJB12 n sdi bs ioo sdi .fibnogfi : noassz I" c to 89gbolq News As the end of 2018 approaches, it’s time to look back at events over the past year that have shaped and touched lives across our communities.

The original call suggested that a subject was lying on the shoulder of the highway just north of the Wayland exit. EMS personnel arrived and determined that the sub­ ject was deceased and that the injuries were consistent with being struck by a vehi­ cle. Initial crash reconstruc­ tion investigation agreed with this observation and an inves­ tigation was initiated. Upon investigation, it was determined that there had been a vehicle reported driv­ ing erratically on northbound U.S.I31 at approximately 2:15 a.m. and that it had crashed in the same area, The driver fled and was unable to be located at that time. Later in the early morning hours, around 5:30 a.m., a car-deer crash had also been reported in the same immediate area of northbound Iu.s.131. Officers arrived and could not locate a deer but the vehi­ cle had damage consistent with hitting a deer (not another car or hard object). In the darkness, nothing else could be located in the immediate area. The deceased individual’s information confirmed that he was the likely driver of the vehicle involved in the crash that was reported at 2:15 a.m. The subject was wearing dark clothing with no reflective surfaces and would have been extremely difficult to see in that full darkness. The crash is still under investigation by the sheriff’s office. The driver of the vehicle involved in the reported car-deer crash is cooperating with investiga­ tors. No names of individuals involved will be released at this time pending family notifications. The sheriff’s office was assisted on the scene by the Michigan State Police, Wayland Police Department, Wayland EMS and Wayland Fire Department, C) s3 off The 1st Time Customers!

All the while showing them the natu­ ral beauty that God had creat­ ed. From the very beginning, he dedicated his children to God and encouraged them to explore the beauty of the gospels and to live a life ded­ icated to Christ. Bill was a salesman at heart. He was kind and softspoke gentleman who had never met a stranger. He served as a factory sales rep­ resentative of RPM, Inc. for over 25 year.

The proposal was drafted by the Gun Lake Protective Association which had hoped to use it as a symbolic, but strong, message to Spoor. The township does not man­ age its own zoning. Township board members feared the singularity of the resolution’s language. Over 100 resi­ dents pack the township hall one week later in opposition of Spoor’s most recent request, a 30-slip expansion on what the DEQ has called a “previously approved” marina. A day following the meeting, County Zoning Administrator Jim McManus rules that Spoor's marina will be allowed only six additional slips, citing mixed-use zoning designa­ tion stating that new or exist­ ing marinas are not allowed. In order for any marina to exist, historical marina use must be determined. Historically, according to McManus, that number is six boats. That number can be increased if Spoor can prove more boats were historically docked there.

Thanks to a grant from the Thomapple Area Foundation, Enrichment Thaler was able to take a group of her students to 600 Kitchen, a farm-to-table restaurant in Kalamazoo. While talking with the restaurant’s general manager, students learned the impor­ tance of farm-to-table restau­ rants in supporting local farmers and the importance to consumers in knowing where and how their food is produced. “A great way for them to really understand the nutri­ tion lesson is to experience healthy food choices during a field trip," said Thaler in her application to TEAF for the grant. She said the experience also teaches students about growing some of their own produce even in small spaces. The 600 Kitchen restau­ rant works with Otto Chicken Farm as one of its local farm providers. Students said they had a great time and a good experi­ ence during which they learned a lot about locally grown foods and why it is important to understand from where their food comes. The farm-to-table move­ ment has become more pop­ ular thanks to changes in attitudes about food safety, food freshness and small farm economics. Thomapple Kellogg Middle School students talk with 600 Kitchen restaurant general manager Jason Stockman about farm-to-table products used in the restaurant. The 8th-grade students took the field trip as part of a lesson in health and nutrition with teacher Melissa Thaler.
