A second report of a patient with legionnaires’ was reported by the hospital in November 2018. That 92-ycar-old male patient died from chronic aspiration pneumonia shortly after the diagnosis, officials said. Barry-Eaton District Health Medical Director Daniel WcnxlalJ said it has not been determined if the man’s death was caused by Legionnaires’ disease.

Dilmar said the 60-day fil­ ters are a short-term fix while the fresh-water supply sys­ tem is being treated and monitored . If the bacteria has not been eradicated by the end of the 60 days, the fillers will be replaced. Also, on Friday, the work of flushing out the water systern began, and a monochlo­ ramine filtration system was installed to the water main. Monochloramine, a disinfec­ tant commonly used for drinking water, is being introduced into the hospital's water supply through the fil­ ter. According to Spectrum Health officials, water sam­ ples are being taken daily from several areas of the hospital to maintain an ade­ quate concentration of the disinfectant to eradicate legionella. Cultures of water samples will be conducted every two weeks for the next three months by a certified legionella testing lab.

Connor and his two friends, Jackson Almy and Carter Brown, were at recess one day and decided that they wanted to start a club. He told his mother, Dana Meyers, that, because there are so many families in need, they wanted it to be called the Caring Club, so that they can do something to help others. The boys approached their teacher about their idea and asked if they could give up some recess time to plan, organize and research. She fully supported them, and it was decided that their first endeavor would be a blanket drive to help keep homeless families warm during cold winter months. On Friday, Dec. 14, Mrs. Morrow dedicated two hours of class time for the kids (along with mom and grandma helpers) to make no-sew tie blankets for the needy, They ended up making 13 blankets to donate, but that didn't stop Connor from wanting to do more. .

Gehrls struck out Hartland’s Madelin Skene and then Delanie Grundman, the three and four hitters in the Eagle line-up, for the final two outs of the softball season. The Fighting Scots had allowed just two total runs in their six state tournament games leading up to the final, then found themselves they can. My pitcher wasn't right on. She was a little amped up today, so her balls were a little high, but she is phenomenal and you saw that in the last at-bats there, two of their best hitters, she struck them out. “That is who Sammie Gehrls is. She just digs deep and gets it done, but I am proud of this team because they battle. They just never quit battling. Teams in the past, we'd get a lead like that against us and we didn’t know how to finish, so that as a big thing to educate how to finish a game.

How can you assess your investment portfolio’s performancc in 2018? The year was full of wild swings in the financial markets, so your own results may well have bounced around quite a bit, too. But you can still get a clear picture of how- you did if you keep your invest­ ments’ returns in the proper perspective - by making sure your expectations are rele­ vant, realistic and reviewed. Let’s look at how these terms can apply to a mean­ ingful evaluation of your investment progress: • Relevant - Many inves­ tors compare their portfolio returns to a popular market index, such as the S&P 500. But this comparison is not really valid for a variety of reasons. For one thing, indexes are typically not diversified across different types of investments - the Call 269-945-9554 for Sun & News classified ads S&P 500, for instance, only tracks large U.S. companies, But your portfolio should consist of a broad range of investments: domestic and international stocks, bonds, ovemment mutual funds, securities and so on, appropriate for your goals and risk tolerance. Also, your portfolio’s performance will be affected by your contribu­ tions and withdrawals, while market index returns are not. So, instead of measuring your results against an index and possibly worrying about underperformance you’re better off establishing relevant expectations of your investment returns, based on your specific goals. So, for example, if you want to retire at age 62, you’ll need to know the rate of return you need to achieve this goal and then compare that desired return with your actual results. • Realistic - Ideally, of course, you’d like really high retums with really low risk but that’s really not feasible. To get high returns, you’ll need to invest aggressively, which means you’ll need •J •5 DOBBIN '§ ACDelco COMPLETE AUTO SERVICE CENTER Now offering factory dealer computer programing for GM Our Diagnostic Computer Software Is Compatible With All Makes 6r Models VUE HONOR CM PROTECTION PLAN 945-0191 * O JEFF DOBBIN’S Serving the orea for over 20 yecin!

However, stocks are also riskier than more conservative invest­ ments, such as bonds or gov­ ernment securities. So, you’ll need to be realistic in what you can anticipate from your portfolio. You can shoot for high returns and accept the higher level of risk, or you can lower your expectations in exchange for greater stability. • Reviewed - The perfor­ mance of the financial markets - and also your own portfolio will fluctuate from year to year. Consequently, it's important (0 review your portfolio s results and the progress you’re making toward your goals on a regular basis, possibly with the help of a financial professional. In these reviews, you may conclude that you’re doing fine, or you might discover that you need to rebalance your portfolio by realigning your investments with your goals and risk tolerance, or perhaps make other adjustments such as changing the amount you invest - to get you back on track. In addition, you may even need to re-evaluate these goals in response to changes in your life - a new job, marriage, new child, and so on - as these changes could affect the rate of return you need from your invest­ ments. As you look back on 2018, and look forward to 2019 and beyond, take a holistic approach to how you evalu­ ate your investments’ perfor­ mance. By looking for rele­ vance, being realistic about what you can expect, and reviewing your portfolio in the context of your goals, risk tolerance and changing circumstances, you can gain a thorough understanding of where you are, where you want to go — and how you can help yourself get there.

Though there was no snow to snowshoe on, nearly 100 hikers and some ~ furry friends turned out to enjoy the outdoors and get some exercise. Seventy-three hikers start­ ed out at Long Lake Outdoor Center and braved the fourmile hike. Another 22 people took part in the two-mile hike. Eighteen volunteers from the local chapter also joined the ranks to start off the year. Although the sun didn’t make an appearance that day, neither did the rain, and, according to Jean Lamoreaux, long-time NCT member and volunteer, there was little mud to worry about. “It was an excellent day,” Lamoreaux said. Chad Hart and Sue Porter both commented on the Chief Noonday Chapter Facebook page tjlat was a great Volunteers from the local chapter guided the groups at the beginning and end of the lines. Transportation also was available in case people needed assistance. According to many people there that day, it was well organized and thought out. Hikers were encouraged to visit the dining hall at Long Lake Outdoor Center when they got back to enjoy hot drinks, doughnuts and a warm fire following their hikes. The North Country Trail stretches from eastern New York State to North Dakota. The Chief Noonday Chapter of the NCT includes Barry, Calhoun and Kalamazoo counties. The annual Barry County hike draws in people from across the region. Lamoreaux said she talked to people from Marshall Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Jamestown, Lake Odessa, Ada, Battle Creek, Portage, Plainwell, and of course Barry County, “They come from all over,” she said. “People look forward to it.” Youth baseball clinic in Middleville Jan There will be a TK Youth Baseball Clinic held Sunday, Jan. 6, at Thomapple Kellogg High School.

Trustees then chose Treasurer Alice Jansma will represent the township on the GLASWA board. Englerth was taken by sur­ prise when the the topic was added to the meeting’s agen­ da immediately after roll call was taken. Trustee Shanon VandenBerg referred to the inclusion as “laughable" and “an ambush.” Englerth said he wished the topic had been brought during the township's committee of the whole meeting Jan. 6, when the township first prepared the agenda for the Jan. 10 meeting. Clerk Janice Lippert, who initially had asked trustees to consider a replacement on the GLASWA board, said she had been in communication with the other three members of that board Martin Township Supervisor Glenn Leep, Orangeville Township Supervisor Supervisor Thomas Thomas Rook Rook and and Wayland Township Supervisor Roger Vanvolkinburg Vanvoikinburg- -who whotold told her Englerth had been dis dis-­ ruptive and was causing “tur­ moil,” specifically during the GLASWA meeting in December. Englerth disputed that characterization and asked Lippert to specify what had been objectionable about his behavior. “If I’ve done something wrong, I deserve to know what it is,” Englerth told Lippert. Lippert didn't single out any specific issues, but insisted that his actions had created turmoil that could no longer be tolerated. When When Lippert Lippert finally finally brought the motion, board member Larry' Knowles seconded it. But VandenBerg chale lenged Knowles’ support, saying “Larry' can't vote" on the matter because he currently serves as director of GLASWA and answers to the township representatives who make up the GLASWA board, “The director cannot vote on his boss,” VandenBerg pointed out. “He cannot pick his own boss.” Knowles said he saw no conflict of interest in his action to support the motion. After ­ Afterthethe meeting meetingcon concluded, eluded, Knowles said he had been directed by his attorney that he is, in fact, obligated to vote on all matters dealing with GLASWA that come before the township. The board voted 3-2 in favor of removing Englerth as the township representative to GLASWA. Jansma, Lippert and Knowles voted to approve it; Englerth and VandenBerg voted against it. Former township board member Michael Boysen, who was in the audience during the proceedings, said: “This board hit a new low before walking out. Lippert brought forth another motion to install Jansma as the township's new GLASWA representa­ tive; the motion was again seconded by Knowles. That motion passed 3-2, with Englerth and VandenBerg again casting the dissenting votes. me topic of or removin removing The Englerth as township repre­ sentative to GLASWA wasn’t the only addition to the night’s agenda. Knowles made a motion for the township board to accept that the GLASWA ,910 rIT ertt Crews will tread water and battle weather conditions to restore the Irving dam on the Thornapple River between Hastings and Middleville.

Planning/Zoning Administrator Brian Urquhart and Bradford White’s repre­ sentative Dave Fordon explained that the building had been mislabeled as a maintenance building and would primarily be used as a storage facility for machine parts and other manufactur­ ing equipment. Some planning commission members raised concems that the facility might encroach on the Paul Henry Trail that runs just to the west of the building, but Urquhart said that, along with a chain­ link fence, a line of Colorado spruce trees would be plant­ ed between the facility and c r See BOARD, page 2 Middleville Planning Commission OKs permit for new gas station Ian Watson s Contributing Writer The Middleville Planning Commission on Wednesday approved a special land-use permit for Greg's Get It-NGo to add a gas station at 497 and 509 Arlington St. The proposed gas station would be incorporated into Greg's Get It-N-Go. TK Kitchen currently occupies the area that the proposed gas station would occupy. But the plan calls for the demolition of the TK Kitchen building to make room for the proposed gas station, then the restaurant will be moved to a vacant space in the Towne Center Marketplace. Greg's Get It-N-Go, and its owner, Pintu Gujjar, were required to apply for a spe­ cial land-use permit before a site plan for the proposed gas station could be approved. Gas stations must be “per­ mitted by special use” to operate in a C-2 highway commercial district zone. Both Greg’s Get It-N-Go and the proposed gas station lie within in a C-2 zone. The planning commission also reviewed the proposed site plan for the gas station, but did not grant approval.

The planning commission approved the application for the maintenance building with some conditions: All requirements listed by the village engineer, DPW direc­ tor and TTES fire chief are met. The applicant shall sub­ mit color renderings and materials to the building on the amended site plan. The amended site plan shall demonstrate the location of wall light fixtures and pro­ vide details of the full mounted light fixtures. All storage must be within the maintenance building. And the applicant shall apply for a zoning compliance permit prior to construction. The second site plan appli­ cation was for a parking area off Crane Road that would be used to store trailers. The area would have 85 total spaces for trailers, along with eight recycling storage trail­ ers on the west side of the parking area.

We already have eight concerts planned for 2019: Harkup Ministries - Down Home Horns, Timothy Noble, Gary Mathews, New Heralders, Metropolitan Choir, Singing Hirns, John and Kate Denner and “The Foresters.” This year we had a pledge drive to renovate the exterior of the chapel, new siding, windows, pillars, etc., and more than $76,000 was raised.

V I �I I I The Sun and News, Saturday, January 12, 2019/ Page 3 Middleville Village Council to review RFQ for 112 E. Main St. *i *1 % it Ian Watson Contributing Writer The Middleville Village Council was presented with a proposed RFQ (Request for developer Qualifications) during their Jan. 8th meeting. The proposed RFQ, if accept­ ed by the Council, would be posted with the intention of finding a developer to part­ ner with the Village to redevelop the green space in-between the Village Hall and Champs Bar and Grill, herein designated as 112 E. Main St. In 2017, Middleville was designated by the MEDC (Michigan Economic Development Corporation) as a RRC (Redevelopment Ready Community) Certified Community. A RRC commu­ nity is considered to be “thoroughly prepared when it comes to planning and zoning along with other key features that remove traditional barriers and promote opportunities for prospective private investors”according to the MEDC. Because theVillage is a certified RRC community, “the Village was selected to oe a recipient or be of pre-aeveipre-development services for a municipally owned redevelopment site, in this case the green space next to Village Hall.” The current goal of the proposed RFG is to redevelop the green space at 112 E. Main St. into a “retail/restaurant space, as well as housing and lodging options.” The Council is set to review the RFQ proposal and will make a decision on the proposed RFG by by their their next next regularly regularly RFG scheduled meeting meeting onon Jan. Jan. 22nd. After being briefed on the proposed RFG, Village President, Charles Pullen, appointed andreappointed several Council members to variouscommunity community commit ­ various committees.

You may want to consult with your tax advisor before making any decisions about a Roth or traditional 401(k) or Roth and traditional wo Wi tFi 401(k) - but in the final analysis, these are positive choices to make, because a 401 (k), in whatever form, is a great way to save for retirement, Try to take full advantage of it. This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Serving pancakes and sausage Financial Advisor. J - '“"J For many years, employees of companies that offered 401(k) plans only faced a couple of key decisions how much to contribute and how to allocate their dollars among the various invest­ ment options in their plan, But in recent years, a third choice has emerged: the tra­ ditional versus Roth 401(k). Which is right for you? To begin with, you need to understand the key difference between the two types of 401(k) plans. When you invest in a traditional 401 (k), you put in pre-tax dollars, so the more you contribute, the lower your taxable income, Your contributions and earnings grow tax-deferred until you begin taking withdrawals, which will be taxed at your ordinary tax rate. With a Roth 401(k), the situation is essentially reversed. You contribute after-tax dollars, so you won’t lower your taxable income, but withdrawals of contributions and earnings are tax-free at age 59-1/2, as long as you’ve held the account at least five years. So, now that you’ve got the basics of the two types of 401(k) plans, which should you choose? There’s no one right answer for everyone. You essentially need to ask yourself these questions: When do you want to pay taxes? And what will your tax rate be in the future? If you’re just starting out in your career, and you’re in a relatively low income tax bracket, but you think you might be in a higher one when you retire, you might want to consider the Roth 401(k). You'll be paying taxes now on the money you earn and contribute to your Roth account, but you'll avoid being taxed at the higher rate when you start taking withdrawals, Conversely, if you think your tax rate will be lower when you retire, you might be more inclined to go with the traditional 401(k), which allows you to avoid paying taxes on your contributions now, when your tax rate is high. Of course, you can see the obvious problem with these choices - specifically, how can you know with any cer cer-­ tainty if your tax bracket will be lower or higher when you retire? Many people auto­ matically assume that once they stop working, their tax liabilities will drop, but that’s not always the case.

The Caledonia Township Board has adopted a detailed strategic plan that drives our w°rk and keeps us focused, In the next year, we will see staffing and service improve­ ments in our fire rescue department which were made possible thanks to recent voter approval of our police and fire millage. We will also see the addition of more trails and paths connectin rs our community and build the Community Green Park in front of the library. These will be great quality of life amenities which will be fund­ ed through a responsible combination of conservative fiscal management (savings rather than debt) and creativ­ ity (aggressively seekin; grants.) What challenges do you anticipate in the new year? Our new governor and I agree on one one thing: thing: we we need need to to fix fix on the roads. Part of that is ensuring our roads have the capacity to meet demand. We will continue to press our state officials and MDOT to address the congestion on M-37 during peak travel times.

We’ve got to learn how to win those games. We talk a lot about little things. Little things make a big difference. Little things make big things happen. I think John Wooden said something to that effect.” “That is what is tough about close games. You’re going to go back and think, ‘oh, if I would have made this free throw or if I would have done this.’ I told the guys, don’t go dwell on it, but we do need to learn and grow from it and get better. Dwelling hurts us, growing helps us.” By the end of the ballgame, a 7-0 run by the Caledonia’s Luke Thelen fires a three-pointer over East Kentwood’s Jordan Jackson late in regulation during the Scots’ three-overtime loss to the visiting Falcons Friday (Jan. 4).

That surge took away Caledonia’s last lead of regulation. “We had four turnovers at the half, and I think we had five turnovers in the first three and a half minutes of the third quarter,” Visser said. “We talked at halftime about they they were were going going to to about amp amp the the pressure pressure up, up, they they were were going going to to start start coming coming after after us us they they’’re re going going to to start start trying to turn us over and we had to handle it. We struggled handling it there early.” The Falcons grew their lead to as many as five points in the fourth quarter before Caledonia junior forward Luke Thelen got the Scots’ come back rolling by scoring seven straight Scot points. He scored a bucket off a nice assist from point guard Koby VanderWoude who just got into the Scots’ rotation and knocked down a couple free throws. Thelen’s three-point­ er with 1:18 to play pulled Caledonia within 61-58. A foul and a technical on the Falcons led to the Scots evening things up with 1:02 left in regulation.

Williard rolled a solid 144 in one of her games as well. Driscoll each won one indiindi­ vidual point for the Trojans. The TK girls scored a 21-9 win over the Pioneers.

The Scots turned the ball over a few too many times even after the early bumbles early in the second half, finishing with 21 turnovers in the bailgame.

He was extremely happy with his guys rebounding overall, which was a point of empha­ sis coming into the bailgame. The Scots are now 0-2 in the OK Red Conference.

All board members were in attendance, along with Barry County Commissioner Vivian Conner and the Road Commission Managing Director Brad Lamberg, for the annual road commission update - which took place prior to the regular township board meeting. Road recommendations and information regarding the Barry County Pilot Program for Tree and Limb Removal Project were dis­ cussed. But, because of time con­ straints, an additional meet­ ing was requested for further discussion of possible road projects in the township. In other business, town­ ship Clerk Mel Risner noted in correspondence that the net fiscal health of Orangeville Township and Barry County, in general, has seen a positive increase over the last 10 years, according to the most recent reports. m dhoti Ikfci tl'raiiK Mlhlii ’® j MEM, ■" <3io Atiih r.-rimti it Ims « .m si; ® I I ■ 1 -1 r-r- t i i " f -? tai iTt*i S5SB!SSS •58 i & if it MSI* __ - t 38 ■: *'“i «*!! • sLj*3 The board approved payment of bills totaling $12,111.93, plus any forthcoming January accruements.

He also said continued continued emergency responder training will start soon. The annual budget meeting was scheduled for 7 p.m. Jan. 14. Conner Commissioner gave a report, mentioning updates on appointments to countywide boards and committees. She noted that the Barry County Board of Commissioners approved the use of $10,000 from the Animal Shelter Donation Fund to be used for trapping, neutering and releasing feral animals, because of the lack of grant funding at this time, Conner said that Ken Kirsch, director of the animal shelter, said the number of feral animals is decreasing so he believes that the program is working.

She also told township board members that Rob Goebel has filled the position of clerk for Prairieville Township after Ted DeVries stepped down. Conner said she accompa­ nied two county sheriff’s deputies on ride-alongs. It was an eye-opening experi­ ence, she said, and the depu­ ties were impressive. The Crooked Lake Task Force has been a positive experience, but it is still seeking short- and long-term solutions. The task force last met Dec. 28. To date, $285,000 has been spent in the search for solutions. Conner also mentioned that Yankee Springs Township will be finishing up its Veterans’ Memorial by installing engraved pavers and hopes to have it completed by Memorial Day. In other reports, Raylene Bennington of the Martin Library announced that the Festival of Trees raised $488 this year, with the Gun Lake Area Women’s Club being the biggest supporter. She mentioned that the Martin Library with celebrate its 100th year this year with a celebration open house on Feb. 9.

Instead of the first and third Wednesdays, the meal and food distribution will take place on the second and fourth Wednesdays of January. During public comment, Wayne Bourdo,groundskeeper for the Oak Hill Cemetery, said there are several dead or dying trees around the cemeceme­ terv tery that need to be pruned or removed. This will require ;some bucket work,. which he does not have the ability to do. The concern was that the trees may fall and damage the gravestones. He also noted that the circle drive is in need of repair after some previous snow removal. He was asked to get quotes for tree care and submit them for board review. Risner commented at the end of the meeting that she believes there is a need to discuss the township’s inteninten­ tion with regard to the state’s new recreational marijuana law.

It’s not unusual for newspapers such as this to take a brief look back at the events of the previous year. Reviewing events of yes­ teryear may be even more interesting. The following is a glimpse of life 50 years ago as reported in Sun and News articles in January 1969. Jan. 9, 1969 Announcements were made regarding ballot additions in Middleville for the March 10, 1969, election. One issue added to the ballot was whether to allow the sale of liquor by the glass in the village. The issue was voted down by a narrow margin four years prior. Village President Marc Squier chose not to file for re-election, prompting coun­ cilman Glen Dean to run unopposed for the position, Also running unopposed were incumbents, Elton Lawrence, clerk; Charles Williams, treasurer; and Morris Weeks, assessor. Three trustees for twoyear terms also were to be selected. Nominated on the Republican ticket was incumbent Jerry Keegstra and Middleville’s former J 4 4^.

(A majority did, we might add!) But, even those people who did not support you share with all of our concern for a more responsive government. Must the ideals of our found­ ing fathers be moored in a mass of bureaucracy? Is it too late in our history to humanize the relationship between those governing and the governed? We sincerely hope this is not the case. Just because we live in rural America does not mean that we are ‘reactionaries.’ Few of us want to return to the ‘good old days’ (when were those days, anyway?). We are vitally interested in the world around us and appreci­ ate the problems of our city brethren. And, although we are in a minority in this nation, we are a part of it and have our problems also. All we ask is that our govern­ ment officials treat us as hon­ est and intelligent citizens. “The third item that con­ cerns us here in rural America is the overwhelming cost of government. The federal income tax bite that is placed on our paychecks is considerable in size. Added to this is an ever-increasing demand by state and local units for our money. Most of us pay without too much complaint, but many of us feel that we’re being shortchanged when it comes to value received for dollar spent. Somehow, we must instill in our governmental agencies on all levels - the practice of spending public money with the same wise caution we spend our own. “And so, Mr. President, we begin afresh. As we pon­ der the years ahead, we can and must envision a bright future for America. The few thousand souls that live in this community are hopeful - yes, even prayerful - that your approach to administering the affairs of this nation is wise and meaningful. Sincerely, Donald E.

Hunter Pitsch and Zoet both scored forfeit wins for the Trojans. The Trojan team also had DeJong score a 5-4 win over Isaac Sterenberg in the 215pound match and Corson scoring a 6-2 win over Noah Olsen at 112 pounds.

The TK girls scored a 41-26 win at Wayland Tuesday, holding the host Wildcats to just nine points in the second half. TK had just an 18-17 lead at the half. “I thought in the second half we played great team defense in that when one player rotated or made an adjustment all four other players also rotated and adjusted accordingly,” TK head coach Ross Lambitz said. “It resulted in a lot of contested shots for Wayland and we were able to do a good job of boxing out and holding them to one shot. The Trojans outscored the Wildcats 16-4 in the fourth quarter to pull away. Paige VanStee and Claudia Wilkinson had 12 points each for the Trojans. Maddie Hess chipped in seven points and a team-high ten rebounds and Shylin Robirds added five points. Robirds, VanStee and Tyan Jefferson had four steals each for the Trojans. Savannah Bronkema had a teams-high four assists, That defensive effort helped lead to some more transition opportunities on the offensive end for the TK ladies. A couple of turnovers led to TK extending its lead from three to nine early in the fourth. r f ij East Grand Rapids knocked off the Trojans 82-52 in Middleville last Friday. The Trojans were down just 18-15 after one quarter, but the Pioneers exploded for a 26-13 run in the second quarter to take control of the ballgame. Jillian Brown led the Pioneers with 26 points and teammate Olivia Brown added 23. Ali Carlson added 11 points, seven rebounds and six steals for the Pioneers. The Trojans were scheduled to return to conference action at Grand Rapids Christian last night. The TK ladies are back in action Tuesday at home against Forest Hills Eastern and then will host South Christian Friday, Jan. 18. •J PERMIT, continued from page off Crane Road with condi­ tions, including an amended site plan that includes the planting of one canopy tree and four shrubs every 20 feet along the buffer zone length of the east lot.

Miller pinned Norman 2 minutes and 31 seconds into their 125-pound championship championship 125-pound match. It was the Saxon senior’s third pin of the day. Coach Singleton was happy with the way Norman responded to the tough defeat. It was just ’headlock Jl 1 ”Miller said, “headlock, head­ lock, headlock. I wasn't only trying that. He is really good. I did try throwing a head­ lock, and I missed it. Then he got me down, got the legs in and 1 got real nervous. Both wrestlers were on their back for a few moments in the opening period of their bout, with Miller fighting to keep from being pinned as the period expired. Miller went right for his big throw as the two started the second period in the neutral position. Miller said being on his back wasn’t he only thing making him nervous in the final. He said he couldn’t remember wrestling in front of such a big crowd under the spotlight, a new feature of the final round of the Lamb this season. “That is outstanding, espe­ cially for a senior," Hastings head coach Darrell Slaughter said of Miller's victory. “It has been 21 years since a Hastings kid won that trophy. All the schools vote on it, but I definitely solicited some votes. I thought my kid deserved it. u “He has done well over four years, but we’ve never broke through to that next level," he said of Miller. Hopefully this will give him that confidence he needs to make that regional or state run. He has got the ability.” Hastings had more indi­ vidual champions than any other school at the tourna­ ment - five. Between the Hastings ‘Gold' team that earned the runner-up trophy and the Hastings ‘Blue’ team that placed seventh, there were ten Saxons in the championship round. Jonathan Giro’n won the 112-pound championship, Jacob Pennington won at 145 pounds, Kenny Smith at 160 and Shane Dillon at 103. Dillon bested teammate Dillon Neal in the 103-pound title match and Pennington topped fellow Saxon Clayton Patton in their flight championship match at 145 pounds. Hastings also got runner-up finishes from Tyler Dull (152 pounds), Devin Dilno (285) and Chase Rairigh (119). 41 Caledonia had Isaac Noyes third at 145, Ben Norris third at 152, Jason Alcala third at 171 and Ryan Stanton third at 215 pounds. Ionia placed third in the team standings with 96 points, ahead of Petoskey 95.5, Delton Kellogg 87, East Grand Rapids 83.5, Hastings ‘Blue’ 45 and East Lansing 18. Caledonia returned to action Wednesday in the OK Red Conference, falling to Rockford 45-19 in a dual at Caledonia High School. & Norman closed out the dual for the Scots with an 18-6 major decision over the Rams' Ashton Halland.

Village planning/zoning administrator Brian Urquhart, who served as the mediator Saturday, defined recreation­ al marijuana establishments as businesses, sales, grow or transportation facilities.

Barry County Drain Commissioner Jim Dull con­ firmed that project was halt­ ed Jan.

An email from Regional Engineer John Zygaj of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in Chicago to the dam’s dam's owner, Commonwealth Power Co. in Concord, Calif., said the repair work had not been authorized. authorized. A Jan. 11 letter to Scott Goodwin, chief executive officer and chief dam safely coordinator for Commonwealth Power, stated in boldface type: “This construction was not autho­ rized by the FERC. Stop work immediately.” The letter included a copy of the story from the Banner. Hie letter noted the penalty for failure to comply with provisions of * the Federal Power Act could result in fines in excess of $20,000 per day per violation along with orders to cease genera­ tion at the project, license revocation and other enforce­ ment actions as necessary. The dam was compro- mised when an earthen spillspill­ wav way failed during severe flooding in February 2018. It took nearly a year of plan­ ning for the necessary per­ mits to be approved by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality. But FERC also had requirements. The main problem,accord­ ing to Dull, was that FERC “said they hadn’t furnished them [Commonwealth] with a filtration plan.” Crow Eve from Commonwealth Power Co, acknowledged the communication and assured Zygaj that no work on the embankment repair had been done. “Only staging equipment and work to divert the water and dry out the area,” she wrote.

Grinage asked. “1 am,” Faulkner replied. “But one of the reasons for coming here is the fact that it opens more doors. More opportunities to meet people and a larger community. I know it’s not related to business or to the communi­ ty, but it is to me - my daugh­ ter does live here in Grand Rapids and she works at Spectrum Health. That's another incentive for me to move here.” “What opportunities do you think the village should be pursuing?" asked trustee Jennifer Lindsey. “What are we missing out on?" “From the investigative work that I’ve found is; one is - we have a DDA (Downtown Development Authority) and I don't believe that Caledonia does,” Faulkner said. “The second is the redevelopment community ready program. With that program, our master plan is due every five years and, with that program, we are not certified, but we are engaged and we already got a $7500 grant to match 50/50 on that new plan.” Faulkner also described economic development plans he has worked on. The next applicant, John Marcy, told the board that he is originally from the Saginaw ’----- area, lived in Kentwood and Middleville for much of his life before moving to Caledonia a cou­ ple of years ago. His wife, Julie, is the former village treasurer. brother, Wiley Timmerman; and many nieces and neph­ ews.

Interment will be in Hooker Cemetery, Leighton Township. •r my professional experience has given me all the neces­ sary7 skill sets in administra­ tion, management, customer service and operations to provide the village of “ "best: ser­ Caledonia with the vices possible. Lastly and most importantly, I sincerely and truly care about the Village of Caledonia, its residents, its citizens. “Quite frankly, the resi­ dents pay a good amount of taxes and deserve nothing but the best.” Grinage asked Marcy about his experience with budgets, “The budgeting experi­ ence I have is more aligned with the sales budgeting, However, I do have a lot of ^ood resources to draw from for the budgeting process," Marcy said. “To be honest with you, anybody who comes into this position is going to have to leam the Caledonia budgetin; pro­ cess, so there’s going to be a learning curve, no matter what.” "wnat “ What are the most important steps the village can take to enhance its com­ munication with residents and businesses?” Lindsey asked. “I think reaching out to them on a set schedule and being more accessible to them,” Marcy said. “We can even use our website a little more efficiently in that mat­ ter, not only to promote our businesses, but to reach out to them as well.” Corrion was the third interview. “I’ve have been workin: in the government field for 17-plus years,” he said. “I started out in the DPW, moved myself up into the office as the administrator and clerk.

The position interested me, he said. “To see a tran­ sition to go take your office and your DPW and combine it into one, it interested me. “I somewhat did it for about a year and a half for the Village of Pigeon when our DPW superintendent abruptly left. I took on the role of DPW superintendent for about a year and a half. I had a good time going back to the DPW, being out there with the guys and doing that stuff again and it just inter­ ests me to have a combined job like that, so that's why 1 applied for it.” Corrion also said another reason he would like to relo­ cate to Caledonia is the fact that it would offer more opportunities, particularly for his kids. Grinage asked Corrion what he felt the Village of Caledonia was lacking and what he felt could be improved upon. “The biggest thing the vil­ lage could improve on with anything, and we have the same issue with ours, is the persona that we give back to the residents," Corrion said. “The only time that a village resident knows that there is a village or village employees is if they are upset about something. ... I would always like to see that change. No matter where you're at.” The final applicant, Jansma, has worked for the City of Kentwood DPW for nearly seven years. “On any given day, you may find me assisting a resi­ dent on the trails, cleanin toilets in one of our park bathrooms, communicating with the mayor to address community concerns or researching equipment for future purchase,” he said. “The very next day, I may be mowing right-of-ways, lin­ ing up a sports field for a rental, trimming trees, work­ ing on proposals, selling a gravesite, planning commu­ nity events or communicat­ ing with sub-contractors. “Not a single workday ever looks the same, as we are always improving and adapting to meet the current needs of our community. I feel like I have been continu­ ally improving and adapting as well, and this position has 44 • ♦ • 1* •» my ability to problem-solve and prioritize.” Jansma said the position would be a dream come true for him, since he was bom and raised in Caledonia. Erskine asked Jansma about the extent of his knowl­ edge of the administrative portion of the position. There would be a leaming curve,” Jansma said, Currently as a grounds crew leader, I‘m directly involved with our budget, primarily te DPW budget. Our DPW has (a budget of) $7 million. I’m involved with equipment purchases, anything we need to sub out. “It would definitely be a learning curve. My strong suit is in the DPW. but I'm definitely going to adapt and leam as to what's put in front of me.” After the four applicants made their presentations, they left and discussion fol­ lowed. Based on that discus­ sion, the board narrowed the choices to Corrion and Jansma. The board will meet again Friday with a special workshop immediately following the Parks and Recreation meeting, when a final deci­ sion will be made and the offer drawn up. In other business, Village Manager Sandy Stelma requested approval from the board to buy a new computer server, as the current one is over nine years old and in poor condition. Stelma received a quote from the village information technology provider, LT. Right, for $5,078. The board made a motion to amend the 2019 budget to include the purchase after another quote is obtained. The board approved a res­ olution appointing committee members and public relation liaisons for the year. Vi £ 44 44 |0 4 DlifW bii&w IB w ' to Er i GET ALL THE NEWS OF BARRY COUNTY!

Saturday. January 19, 2019 1 Scot skiers open season with high expectations Brett Bremer I < -I J ( < I r 4 ■ 4 4 I I I Sports Editor The Fighting Scots finally got to race Saturday. The Caledonia varsity ski teams, after some great train­ ing before the holiday break, had to wait out temperatures close to 50 degrees and a few days of rain while the folks on the hills in good enough shape for a course to be set. Cannonsburg had enough snow to host the Norm's GS (giant slalom) Championship as scheduled Saturday. The race featured many of the lop ski racers in south­ west Michigan, in races that showcases the competition between skiers of each grade level. The Norm’s race has divisions for middle school through seniors. “The teams really pre­ formed well today despite some challenges training due to the poor weather,” Caledonia head coach Duane Petrosky “We're excited about the way our times ended up today even though it was an individual event race, our skiers had very good times and their consis­ tency will really help as we start our conference sched­ ule.” The race highlighted a lot of the potential that both the Caledonia girls and boys team have with many of their skiers finishing in the top ten of their grade level groups. Caledonia senior Emily Petrosky won the senior ;irls’ division, and was the overall winner as well. During her career ski racing, Emily has won five of the six Norm’s GS Championships that she has participated in and this is the second year in a row that she set the pace for the girl’s race. Also placing in the top ten for their divisions for the Scots, and in order of their overall times, were sopho­ more Emily Dean (ninth), junior Anna VanElderen (ninth) and junior Emmalee Hamp (tenth). Keegan Beemer led the Caledonia boys’ team with a second-place finish in a very fast junior division. He was third in the overall standings for the guys. Placing in the top ten for their divisions were junior Paul Southerton (fifth), senior Andrew Miron (ninth). junior Chase Thompson (eighth), sophomore Zach Roy (fourth) and freshman Ben DeGood (fifth), “Norm rown runs the third oldest ski shop in the USA and sponsors the race,” coach Petrosky said. “He is a huge supporter of ski racin e and his shop specializes in racin equipment. He still runs the shop at 88 years old.” It was an impressive day for the Forest Hills Northern­ Eastern girls. Their team had four of the five fastest fresh­ men and four of the six fastest seniors at the event. The only girl within a second of Petrosky’s total time in the ;irls’ competition was Spring Lake/Black River sopho­ more Eden Nykamp. Nykamp’s second run of the day, which clocked in at 27.70 seconds, was the fast­ est of the day. Petrosky had runs of 28.33 and 27.89. Beemer had times of 28.21 and 27.49 to place second in the junior boys’ race behind Grand Haven/Black River’s Mitchel Bosgraff who had a best run of 27.01. Grand Rapids Christian senior James VanHekken had the second best overall time of the day, just edging Beemer’s total 55.35 to 55.70. Coach Petrosky was look­ ing forward to finally getting the chance to sort out his line-up for the Southwest Michigan Ski Conference (SWMSC) season, that opened Bittersweet at with Wednesday the Caledonia girls’, boys’ and ‘B’ teams all taking first place, The girls took their second SWMSC championship in three seasons last winter, and placed second in the state’s academic standings after placing at the top the year before. The girls’ team is ranked Y The 2018-19 Caledonia varsity girls’ ski team. ninth in the state, led by Emily Petrosky, who was first team all-state in the GS and second team all-state in the slalom a year ago. “One of the reasons I took this coaching position was to have the opportunity to coach both of my daugh­ ters ” coach Petrosky said, “My first year, I had both of my daughters on the team and it was a very special experience that will go down as one of my best as a coach. I now have the opportunity to coach Emily in the final $150 OFF A HIGH EFFICIENT FURNACE OR BOILER f I LENNOX DeWeerd L ■ HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING, INC.

Her hard work and dedication are contagious. She is a great leader and is constantly working at motivating her teammates to push themselves. There are quite a few teams around the state that have one good racer and don’t do much as a team, but Emily has encour­ aged, helped and brought her team up along the way. When her career is done, this team will be ready to continue their path on the same trajectory of success.” The girls' team also brings back fellow all-conference performers Dean and Black. Hamp is a key returnee as well. Dean was just the fifth Caledonia freshman girl to earn all-conference honors on the slopes. Both Dean and Black were a part of the team’s top four regularly last winter, and Hamp peaked as the season went on - scoring in both events at regionals at the end of the season. “I believe that our top four skiers can compete with any team in the state, and our next seven girls are all capable of stepping into our fifth and sixth flights,” coach Petrosky said. “All of these young women w ill be contributors to the Cal team, Over the past three years, we have seen the Caledonia girls leam show overall improvement, to the point that there is a lot of friendly competition for the top six spots in the running order, Our team wins because we have numerous skiers that compete with similar times and our times continue to get faster and faster. All of my skiers are hard working, ded­ icated young women that are ready to step up and take on whatever role is needed. This is an incredibly fun, energet­ ic group to coach.” The group of girls work­ ing into varsity positions includes VanElderen, junior Leah Hoogterp, sophomores Danielle Miron and Gina Cassese and freshmen Barbie DeGood, Evie Schlet and Kelsey’ Kirkbride. * The The Caledonia girls have a chance to be the first state qualifying team in their pro­ gram’s history. The Caledonia boys have qualified for the state finals once as a team, in 2017, 2017, and are hoping to get back there this season. The Scots have won won back-to-back back-to-back SWMSC SWMSC championships and go into the the season season as as the the favorites favorites for foraathird-straight third-straighttitle. title. The biggest challenge for our boys’ team is the size of our team,” coach Petrosky said. said. ““This This isis obviously, obviouslv. aa good and bad challenge to have. It’s great to have kids [ interested and excited about being a part of the team. The s challenge is having enough time timeto towork workwith witheach eachof ofthe the kids kids individually individually so sothey they can can leam leam and and compete compete toto their their fullest potential.” Beemer and Southerton were both all-region skiers a year ago, to go along with the all-conference honors they and Miron and 44 44 Thompson earned, Over the past two years, I have seen Keegan mature as a racer and believe that his best skiing is going to hap­ pen during his final two sea­ sons with our team,” coach Petrosky said. Beemer was honorable mention all-state in 2017, and finished as the SWMSC’s number two skier last winter. I have really seen Andrew push himself in the weight room in the off season and know that this will be his best season yet. Andrew is a perfect example of the kid that has “worked hard and it is now paying off,” coach Petrosky said of his senior, Miron. That work ethic is a trait he sees in Southerton and Thompson as well. The rest of the team is a competitive group led by juniors Bobby Grant and Zach Cassese who were a part of the regional team a year ago. Coach Petrosky is also looking for good things from sophomores Zach Roy, Reid Goosen and Gavin Donnelly and freshmen Ben DeGood, Tyler Roy, David Tyler and Will Yared. The program appears strong from top to bottom. The Caledonia Middle School Ski Racing Club had 10 skiers participate in Norm’s race Saturday with three breaking into the top ten with Tyler Dean sixth, Pierson Reiffer seventh, and Matthew Flemming ninth, 44 I • » * » 4 9 V • * ■ J *--4, -■ I •• 7 11 li - 77 «i TT <11 I 44 « •T X' ■ - C* �The Sun and News, Saturday, January 19, 2019/ Page 7 Physical education teacher asks TK board to ‘up the ante’ for athletes Tanett Hodge i A % i I Mi I l S' \ ! it L I" I' ’ A? i n I. .1 I • I J - Staff Writer Members of the Thomapple Kellogg Board of Education met Monday for their first monthly meet­ ing of 2019. Sarah Alden and Matthew Powers were sworn in as newly elected board mem­ bers, and this year’s board officers were chosen. Anne Hamming was elected to the position of president; David Smith to vice president; Jeff Dickman to treasurer; and Kristin Cove to secretary. Committee assignments were announced and, through a motion, board member reimbursement was set at $15 per regular or special meeting. During public communi­ cation, the middle school stu­ dent council recognized and presented certificates of appreciation to the board members, the superintendent and the assistant superinten­ dent. Physical education Chad Ruger addressed the board with a proposal for a first period, varsity athlete PE course that would allow the needs of the upper-level ath­ lete to be met. Ruger said the course is designed to “up the ante” and increase the intensity of the PE class for the serious ath­ lete. He said other schools in the area are doing this. “It would allow for an extra 20-30 minutes to work on specific things they need to work on for their sport,” Ruger said. “We are recom­ mending it be the first period of the day so that the athletes can get extra training, sup­ ported by coaches, in their specific sport, first thing in the morning. This gives them time to recover before their after-school practice or game. The class could be adapted for specific sport seasons or off-seasons to benefit the sport and the specific athletes. “We feel like it will help other students improve also, With the varsity athlete in a different class, they would get a chance to step up and take leadership roles in their classes.” Ruger said it gives a goal, a motivation to those who are not in the “tip of the pyramid class” to work hard to get there, Several questions from the board were fielded regarding _ eligibility and pre-requisites, and Ruger thanked the board for listening. Page Elementary Principal Mike Gelmi gave an update on the school’s data. He pre­ sented M-STEP results from 2016-18. “Our scores are not where we would like them to be at Page,” Gelmi said. “It is something we are focusing on quite a bit this year.” He said it is just one piece of data that they use. M-STEP is simply a flat score. “It’s what the public sees, but it doesn't define us,” < > f1 t r * ffF> 1 i < | .r 3 / J* J i T t> w ♦ t. I F 9 iJ «*■ ML * la *s ■ A _ ■ ‘ " ’* ■ f .

Gelmi said. “It’s something we are concerned about, and we are working to improve upon.” One way the teaching staff achieves a fuller picture of the students’ learning is to combine the data of several assessments, and not fully depend on one score. Each student’s scores from these assessments are tracked, compared by the teacher and used to inform instruction. This helps the teacher see irregularities, The comparison allows the instructor to decipher whether the student is truly learning the content, but struggles with testing; whether the student doesn’t take the test seriously; or if he or she truly is struggling. Gelmi announced that, with the combined assess­ ments, they were able to tell that overall math, reading and language arts scores were on target for fifth grade, and fourth-grade math was just under the national norm. He also pointed out that lan­ guage usage in fourth grade was below the national aver­ age. He said this system allows them to see where the students need more attention and instruction. In other action: — Superintendent Robert Blitchok asked for approval to hire a new special educa­ tion teacher who had been through the interview pro­ cess and was waiting for the end of the semester before she left her previous position. A motion was carried to hire Shelby Tedrow. —The board also approved the long-term suspension of a student because of repeated offenses and lack of commu­ nication on the family’s part. •• I Be "SENSIBLE" about your water!

I> n: I 4 ■ iiaaut Mhi e.nacit Irfil 5 - 4 When interest rates rise, the value of your fixed-in­ come investments, such as bonds, will typically fall. If this happens, how should you respond? First of all, it’s important to understand this inverse correlation between interest rates and bond prices, Essentially, when interest rates rise, investors won’t pay you full price for your bonds because they can purchase newly issued ones that pay higher rates. So, if you sell your bonds before they mature, you could lose some of the principal value. You may be seeing a price drop among your bonds right now, because interest rates generally rose in 2018 and may continue to do so in 2019. While you might not like this decline, you don’t necessarily have to take any action, particularly if you’re planning to hold these bonds until maturity. Of course, you do have to consider credit risk - the chance that a por­ tion of the principal and interest will not be paid back to investors - but unless the bond issuers default, which is usually unlikely, particu­ larly with investment-grade bonds, you can expect to receive the same regular interest payments you always did, no matter where rates move. Holding some of your bonds - particularly your longer-term ones - until they mature may prove useful during a period of rising interest rates. Although long­ the term bond prices amount you could get if you were to sell these bonds tend to fall more significantly than short-term bond pric­ es, the actual income that longer-term bonds provide may still be higher, because longer-term bonds typically pay higher interest rates than shorter-term ones. ' To preserve this income and still take advantage of rising interest rates, you may want to construct a “bond ladder” consisting of short-, intermediateand Ionger-term bonds. Because a ladder contains bonds with staggered maturity dates, some are maturing and can be reinvested - and in a ris­ ing-rate environment such as we’re currently experiencing, you would be replacing maturing bonds with higher-yielding ones. As is the case with all your invest­ ments, however, you must evaluate whether a bond lad­ der and the securities held within it are consistent with your objectives, risk toler­ ance and financial circum­ stances. You can build a bond lad­ der with individual bonds, but you might find it easier, and perhaps more affordable, to own bond-based mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that invest in bonds. Many bond funds and ETFs own a portfolio of bonds of various maturities, so they’re already diversified. Building a bond ladder can help you navigate the rising-rate environment. But you also have another incentive to continue investing in bonds, bond funds or ETFs namely, they can help diver­ sify a stock-heavy portfolio. If you only owned stocks, your investment statements would probably fluctuate greatly - it’s no secret that the stock market can go on some wild rides.

This is beneficial for Lucas Spoor, owner of The Landing on Gun Lake, because ice has a tendency to shift over the course of the season. If ice is allowed to form around the year-round, permanent dock, when it shifts, it can cause lifting damage or expansion damage.

Saidoo began his first board meeting by introduc­ ing his wife, Crystal, and and Alexis daughters Addison, who were in atten­ dance. The meeting agenda also called for the annual election of officers. Secretary Julie Asper nominated sitting president Marcy White to maintain her role on the board. “I’d like to take a minute to thank Marcy White for her ioM blBOfl nil od ) b rfriv/ xirnom biBg biBod id gni rrigusb ozibbA .oonsb orfT ibolko aftto to loqaA isbieoiq ifilniBfTi .biBod Ji I b’l insri) ol iM no Published by J-Ad Graphics, Inc. • 1351 N.

That’s not possible with no ice along the shore for sever­ al feet out. Residents and business owners are concerned for those who may not live on the lake, but come seasonally just to snowmobile. It is not known how far out dedication to Caledonia Community Schools,” Asper said. “She has served eight years on this board and successfully ran for re-election, earning the highest number of votes for another six-year term, starting today. “I believe Marcy has been an effective communicator, and has handled herself with integrity and resilience as our president for the last two years.” The board voted unani­ mously to retain White as president, Chris Behm, Julie Asper and Tim Morris also were nominated and unanimously chosen to retain their roles as vice president, secretary and the ice may be effected or how thin the ice may be under a snowfall. Representatives of the Citgo station located adja­ cent to The Landing say they have spoken to the Department of Environmental Quality and have filed a police report hoping that something will be done to ensure public safety.. “Everyone is passing the buck,” said Jaspreet Nannan of Citgo. “I don't think it’s •2J oing to be addressed until someone gets hurt. I really don’t want that to happen!” treasurer, respectively. High School Principal Brady Lake, along with Curriculum Director Jane^ Switzer, proposed revising the high school curriculum with a recommendation to change current credit require­ ments to align with the Michigan Merit Curriculum and graduation requirements fer physical education and social studies. According to their com­ piled report, Caledonia Community Schools exceed state requirements and comparable district standards. The proposed changes would drop one required social studies elective requirement, with physical education credit requirements dropping to 0.5 from the current 1.5 credits required. In turn, elective requirements would increase by 2 credits. This would give students the ability to apply those extra credits to core classes or electives more aligned with career goals. Marching band students attending last month’s meet­ ing asked the board to con­ sider counting participation in marching band as a physical education requirement, Lake and Switzer suggested that, if the board approved the proposed reduction in requirements for physical education credits, this would help to address the students * Middleville holds second input session on recreational marijuana establishments Ian Watson Contributing Writer The Village of Middleville held its second of three pub­ lic input sessions regarding recreation marijuana estab­ lishments on Monday, Jan. 21. The goal of the sessions is for the public to address vil­ lage officials about their thoughts and opinions on whether the village should allow recreational marijuana establishments within the village boundaries. Village Planning/Zoning Administrator and session mediator Brian Urquhart has defined recreational mari­ juana establishments as “businesses, sales, grow or transportation facilities.” While the turnout for Monday’s session was lower than the first session on Saturday, Jan. 12, the num­ ber who spoke leaned much more in favor of allowing recreational marijuana 3 aril' ill blori qni oil 1S3TO9T lomrizil J£S ©rfT od) iol o ©3B1 riauodi n woIIb iildaie© sgslliv BlliV inimb/ bsni 9m oq< ■ h ii * ■ • I V r establishments to operate in the village than those who spoke at the Jan. 12 meeting, Only one resident who spoke Monday voiced sup­ port for the village to opt out of allowing recreational marijuana establishments within its boundaries. His view was that it would be smarter to opt out now and wait and see how things turn out for other municipalities that have decided to allow establishments. Everyone else who voiced their opinion at Monday’s meeting were in favor of allowing recreational marijuana businesses to operate in the village. One resident, Robert commented Bishop, commented, “Marijuana isn’t going to go 999 away if we opt out'” and added that the village could lose out on a “tax base” that recreational marijuana businesses could create, a Ross DeMaagd, Thomapple Township trustee member, said, “1 am opposed to the use of marijuana and I'm opposed to • • the legalization of marijua­ na. But that doesn’t affect his position on the current topic: “In this free country, people ought to have the right to do what what the the chose chose toto do, do,”” addadding, “ I do feel that property owners should have the right toto use use their their Drooertv property inin the the choice, as long it’s legal. If someone wants to use their property to grow or dispense marijuana, I believe they should have the right to do that.” At the end of the meeting, village officials thanked those who participated in the public session. Village Council member Phil Van Noord expressed the his appreciation of “civility” that people have brought to the meetings and in their comments and was impressed with how “people can talk with one another even though they disagree.” Planning Commission Vice Chairwoman Fran French said she would like to hear more voices from the business community at the public sessions, French said, “I'd like to hear the viewpoint from the person who might want to open a [marijuana] business or a business owner who might want that comer in his store to sell paraphernalia.” Village Council member Amanda Fisk called for more input by members of the public and encouraged those in the audience to talk to those who may have an opinion on the topic to attend the next public ses­ sion and have their voices heard, The third and final public input session will start at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 29, in the Middleville Village Hall. concerns. They went on to pre­ add that those students preferring additional flexibility could use a personal curriculum to completely eliminate the PE requirement, with the belief that these changes will meet the needs of students as they pursue courses in their areas of interest. In a second part of the proposed changes, Lake and Switzer recommended revising the grading scale used in the middle and high schools. “Our Caledonia schools’ current grading scale has often prided itself in being very rigorous,” Switzer said. “We are setting high expectations for our kids which is so true, but now we're seeing some challenges that this is also bringing for our students when they are in competitive environments, where they are competing for scholar­ ships, or looking at getting into some higher learning institutions and those grade points aren’t really compara­ ble for them ” “Basically it’s just lower­ ing the threshold for an A,” Lake added. Currently, grades between 94.5 and 100 percent are required for an A, and grades falling between 89.5 and 94.4 percent qualify for an A minus. The proposed change would make grades between 92.5 and 100 percent qualify for an A, and between 89.5 and 92.4 percent, an A minus. The board voted unanimously to approve the chang­ es. All of the proposed changes in curriculum and grade scales will be initiated in the 2019-2020 school year. Director of Finance Sarah DeVries gave a report on the 2018-2019 budget amend­ ment. In the 2017-2018 fiscal year, the district transferred $2.5 million from the general fund to establish a public improvement fund to main­ tain and keep up with build­ ing improvements so as not to bond for these expendi­ tures. A total of 1,060,970 of the fund balance was used in 2017-2018 leaving a total of $8,196,191. In 2018-2019, student enrollment declined by 10.35 full-time equivalent (FTE) enrollees, while the original budget had planned on an increase of 30. This meant a reduction in the budget of 40.35 FTEs. The district also saw a Headlee reduction in its 2018 operating millage for a loss of $72,404 in 2018-2019. $ee BOARD, page 2 In This Issue... • Page Elementary crowns spelling bee champion • Several Caledonia students qualify for DECA state competition • Orangeville says goodbye to old store and gas station • Caledonia girls score best invitational finish ever II I �Page 2/The Sun and News, Saturday, January 26. 2019 BOARD, continued from page 1 --------------------------rhe amended budget reflects a reduction in the fund balance of $586,976.

She also recalled the kindness of the Switzers and their generosity to the community. According to Alvin Warren, the original store was owned by the Sheffield family. The Stickler family bought the store after that, and Dorothy Woods owned the store following. The store was then owned by the Johnsons and then purchased by the Switzers, who lived upstairs and added a gas station in the 1960s.

January 26.2019 TK cuts into Sailor lead a little Brett Bremer Sports Editor Grand Rapids Christian got the best of South Christian in their OK Gold Conference opener back in the first week of 2019. Friday After night, Thomapple Kellogg varsity boys* basketball coach Mike Rynearson thinks it just might be the Sailors who have the best team in the conference the rest of the way though. South Christian is 8-3 overall and 4-1 in the OK Gold Conference, having added a win in Wayland Tuesday evening and a Saturday night nonconfer­ ence victory over Grand Rapids Catholic Central. The Sailors bested the Thomapple Kellogg boys 70-45 in Middleville last Friday. “They're good. They're big. They shoot the threes. Holy cow, I don’t know what their percentage was but any time a team knocks down 11 triples that is going to be tough to beat," Rynearson said. The Sailors built a 33-15 lead in the first half. There was a ray of hope for the Trojans, scoring •4 twice as many points in the second half. “I think our defense was as little bit better. We played with as little more intensity. I think that transferred over to effort. our offensive effort,"” 4 I Thornapple Kellogg sophomore guard Noah Daley dribbles past South Christian’s Tyler Buwalda during their OK Gold Conference contest in Middleville Friday (Jan. 18).

Shoobridge finished with 11 points for TK. Joe Dinkel and Brummel had eight points each, Isaiah Guenther added seven and Dahley fin­ ished with six. Rynearson was happy to see the scoring load spread out a bit. “They're tough to score on. They're just so long. Every one of their players is long. They can sw itch if they need to and there really wasn't a mismatch. The only mismatch that I thought was kind of there, which we were able to exploit, was when they switched out on Isaiah with a big. He just doesn't get the calls sometimes.

Emily Petrosky scored a medal in each of the events for the Caledonia girls, win­ ning the giant slalom (GS) after a runner-up finish in the slalom. Emmalee Hamp earned a medal for a fourth place finish in the GS and Emily Dean scored a medal with a seventh place slalom time. Hamp was 16th in the sla­ lom and Dean 14th in the GS. Caledonia also had Alana Black 13th in the sla­ lom and 17th in the GS. “Our girls really skied well today and we are very proud of their efforts. The girls earned four medals and really skied consistently,” Caledonia head coach Duane Petrosky said. “Our top four girls all had good days today which kept the meet close. Cadillac really came out and skied GS very well to build a small lead. Today was one of those days when we skied well, but they skied better.” The Scots trailed the host Vikings by just three points after the slalom, eventually finishing behind the hosts 55-74. Clare was third in the girls’ standings with 137.5 points, ahead of Benzie Central 154, Harrison 161, Mt. Pleasant 164 and Onekama 176. Keegan Beemer and Paul Southerton both earned med­ als in the GS for the Caledonia boys, with Beemer eighth and Southerton tenth. Chase Thompson placed 17th in the GS and 19th in the slalom. Andrew Miron was 19th in the GS and 21st in the slalom. The Scots also had Reid Goosen 26th in the slalom and Ben DeGood 30th in the slalom. The guys really skied GS well and had earned third place in the first half of the meet,” coach Petrosky said. “We were really happy with our GS and extremely proud of how our skiers in flight three through six stepped up and put down solid times (4 • f WlLfc TK grapplers score two victories over EGR IM 'SlliH*’ । Ik 1I. ► i tots I V I I r I I Ml”*1 III*1 ft III” III The Thornapple Kellogg varsity wrestling team went 4-1 Saturday at Jenison’s CJ Crowe Invitational.

South Christian scored a 52-39 victory over the host Trojans in OK Gold Conference action. The Trojans trailed by as many as 13 points in the fourth quar­ ter and pulled back to within three points before ultimately heading into the fourth quarter trailing the Sailors by six points.

The students learned both the joys and frustrations of video conferencing, a staple in today’s business world, but it was important to them.

LLS says fundraising cam­ paigns, like those carried out through the West Michigan Students of the Year pro­ gram, have an impact on the lives of cancer patients ’ Collectively, these cam­ paigns support nearly 300 research projects the organi­ zation has underway, many in the areas of immunothera­ py and personalized medi­ cine. In addition to finding blood cancer cures, the orga­ nization also helps fund treat­ ments for patients with vari­ ous other cancers and chronic diseases.

The goal of the sessions was to allow the public to share with village officials (council and planning commissionmembers) their thoughts and opinions about whether the village should allow recreational marijuana establishments within its boundaries. The village has two options: It can pass a mea­ sure that would ban recre­ ational marijuana establish­ ments within in its boundar­ ies and, thus, opt out of the state law, or allow the state law to permit recreational marijuana establishments within village boundaries. Brian Urquhart, village planning/zoning administra- tor and the session mediator, has defined recreational mar­ ijuana establishments as businesses, sales, grow, or transportation facilities, Unlike the first two sessions Jan. 12 and Jan. 21, the majority of those who spoke Tuesday advocated that the village opt out of allowing recreational marijuana establishments within its boundaries. Village Village Clerk Clerk Elaine Elaine Denton also read aloud three written comments from members of the public, and all of those comments favored the opting out. Tamara Benjamin, who said she is in favor of opting out, noted that one of the more active draws to the village is its school system. She questioned whether recreational marijuana establishments in the village would pose a threat to that attractive reputation. Benjamin said she wanted the village to opt out now and wait to see how other communities approach it. In this way, the village could take a more educated stance on the topic and, as a result, make an educated transition if one is required. County Commissioner Dan Dan Parker Parker also also asked asked vilvillage officials to opt out of allowing allowing recreational recreational marimarijuana establishments. establishments. juana Parker pointed to a recent memo from the Barry County Substance Abuse Task Force that that focuses focuses on on the the negative negative outcomes outcomes that that states states such such as as Colorado and Washington have experienced since they legalized recreational marijuana. Parker also later comment­ ed that both the prosecuting attorney of Barry County and the head of the Barry County Substance Abuse Task Force had planned on participating in the public session, but were unable to attend due to weather conditions. One of the few at the meet­ ing to advocate for the opting in was Scott Brooks. Brooks stressed that the village would lose valuable experience in this new industry if it were to opt out now and then decide to allow the industry in at a later date, At Atthe the end of the meeting meeting, village officials thanked village everyone for attending and offering their opinions. Village council member Mike Cramer told the audience that officials have a hard decision in front of them. Later, village council member Ed Schellinger added that the public can “trust them [village council] to make the right decision.” I r Roily and VzOllCCH VzOX CCldjTcltC o4tll DVCUUlllQ anniversary i The family of Roily and Colleen Cox are hosting a card shower in celebration of the couple’s 64th wedding anniversary on February 14, 2019.

PLAN, continued from page 1 concepts at all park locations; and enhancing the quality of life in the village and the by providing township fully multi-generational accessible and safe recre­ ational facilities. Other goals listed involve developing a system of non-motorized paths which will link the village and township to adjacent commu­ nities; continually reassess­ ing community recreation needs, trends and characteris­ tics; and promoting the coor­ dination, cooperation and expansion of recreational programs with other organi­ zations, such as public agen­ cies and citizen groups. Each of the goals were crafted with the help of town­ ship and village staff, each community’s Parks and Recreation personnel, Fleis & Vandenbrink and public input received during the planning process. Specific, actionable objectives are out­ lined under each goal. Though the plan available online does not include a completed capital improve­ ment schedule, it is no secret that the township intends to move ahead with its Community Green and North Shore Park projects this year, which are projected to cost a combined total of about $1.9 million. Those projects will make J & I jgUflMGlW A WIIWOI T7 ■f r _ .at! ir f tr 6 |i ** use of land within the village adjacent to the Caledonia branch of the Kent District Library and to the south near Emmons Lake and is expect­ ed to bring a bevy of new recreational opportunities to the community, Included in the plans for the Community Green are a picnic pavilion, a band shell, restrooms, a playground area, an event space and multiple pickle ball courts, while North Shore Park will consist of a dog park, an elevated boardwalk leading to an overlook of Emmons Lake and a natural walking trail, among other features. Additional parking, a natu­ ral park and walking trail extensions, among other items, also were added to the plans plansrecently recently after after the the towntownship approved the acquisition of additional land in early October. Residents who spoke during the township board’s public public hearing hearing on on Monday Monday shared favorable views of the overall overall Parks Parks and and Recreation Recreation Plan, expressing appreciation toto all people involved involved all of ofthe the people in putting the new plan together. together. Mike Wolf, a resident of Buttrick ButtrickAvenue, Avenue,said saidnatural natural spaces as Two Two Rivers Rivers spaces such such as Greenspace and Thomapple Riverbend Greenspace are places that he holds near and Sun dear to his heart. “I hope we can continue to maintain those as undevel­ oped areas ... (with) non-mo­ torized trails, hiking trials things like that," Wolf said. “We’re pretty much avid canoers and kayakers and also pretty much avid bird­ ers, too, so we really enjoy having some wild areas to be able to go in the township. There aren’t too many left." His wife, Dorothy Wolf, who also advocated for the preservation of natural areas, added: “I love this township and I was really pleased to look at this plan. All of the people involved put a lot of work into it and we appreci­ ate that very much" With a new master plan in place, the township and the village will be eligible to apply for grants through the Michigan Department of Natural Resources to assist in reaching their recreational goals. One such grant that the township applied for and received through the DNR's Natural Resources Trust Fund in 2018 aided in the acquisition of property adjacent to Caledonia Lakeside Park. The township plans to use that property to develop recreational facilities and connections between the park and the library on the north­ west side of Emmons Lake.

Local sand and gravel sup­ plier Cherry Valley Resources donated the parcel to the township a number of years back with the intention of subsequently donating additional land, all of which would have then been used to construct a recreational area for Caledonia residents. Caledonia However, Township Supervisor Bryan Harrison said the township board recently learned that Cherry Valley would not be able to donate the additional properties for the park, thus derailing the project. The original donor has indicated those properties would not be coming and [communicated] a desire to get the property back through a possible sale or a cash donation and exchange for the reversion of the proper­ ty,” Harrison said.

Some questions came up as far as what financial benefits the donor may have received and what financial commitments the township incurred as far as facilitating the donation. “There was some master plan design work for approximately $9,000; some legal work regarding the transaction, $3,750; and then property tax avoidance — in essence when it was no longer in ownership — and that has been tabulated by the township assessor to be approximately $77,688 in taxes not paid ... for a total of just over $90,000.” Harrison said the $77,688 in unpaid taxes on the prop­ erty would have been paid to all taxing units; the town­ ship’s cut would only have been a small percentage, something like 3 or 4 per­ cent. " In addition to essentially avoiding those taxes, the supervisor pointed out that Cherry Valley Resources also would have claimed a benefit for making the donation.

This allows for a more comprehensive view when evaluating school performance, according to Ben DeGrow, director of educa­ tion policy at the Center and co-author of the study. “Relying on raw test results may mislead about how well a school is actually doing,” DeGrow said in a news release about the study. “To get a fuller perspective, it helps to factor socioeco­ nomic status into the equa­ tion.” But area educators say these findings are not an accurate representation of educational quality. Kellogg Thornapple Robert Superintendent Blitchok said, “There are many ways to measure stu­ including dent growth o nationally normed tests (such as NWEA), state assess­ ments (M-Step), and local (district-developed) assess­ ments. Also, there are multi­ ple points of view as to ^what is growth’ and ‘how much growth is sufficient.’ “As a district, we go to great lengths to inform instruction for our students. We place a significant emphasis on the NWEA assessments (three times in a school year) and our dis- trict-developed trict-developed assessments, assessments.

Saginaw High School holds the lowest CAP score, while 12 of the bottom 25 schools are Detroit district high schools. The study noted that a CAP score above 100 indi­ cates a score that exceeded the predicted level. A score below 100 indicates that a high school’s average perfor­ mance was below its predict­ ed level. The study also stated: “The grades and CAP scores are relative.

It's not just keeping ice from forming around his docks, it's affecting down the water­ front. Please take this seri­ ously!” Chase said he had talked to the representatives from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, the Department of Environmental Quality and many local enti­ ties about the legality of the device. They all directed him back to the township as being the decision-maker. Chase asked the board to consider drawing up an ordinance in conjunction with the Yankee Springs Township board to limit the use of aerators and thrusters on Gun Lake. He was prepared to share exam­ ples of other ordinances on the same issue. Board members had been made aware of the problem and had already done research themselves on the safety concern. They also had determined that the device was not illegal. “What you’re saying is true about the compromised ice that occurs when the bubblers are on,” trustee Bob Perino said. “In terms of ordinances against bubblers, the DEQ said that there is no basis for that unless the bub- U i L'i » I X Mir ’ ft n * W I । • a •J .1^11 Elai test toil i ana i x j Ms te toi Is! - -iJW hum!

In further business, the board approved a motion to hire Matt Elkins to trim and remove specific trees in the cemetery. The board also set a date for the scrap tire clean­ up this year. A grant was received for the rental of a semi-trailer to gather up to 2,000 tires. Residents may drop off spare tires after 9 a.m. that day. The township board began a conversation regarding rec­ reational marijuana facilities. The township has presently opted out. The benefits and disadvantages of allowing facilities in the Orangeville area were considered. “There are so many legali­ ties involved,” Risner said. “We must pay careful atten­ tion.” They discussed the fact that on top of a 6 percent sales tax, there would be a 10 percent excise tax on all sales. The fees could be so high that the township would not make any money by allowing these facilities to run in the area. The board intends to further study infor­ mation available and deter­ mine whether allowing recreational marijuana facilities would be “worth the hassle,” as Risner put it. Theboard plans to hold a special meetingTuesday to hear further presentation from the road commission, and a budget meeting will be planned in the near future. J • ¥ r selected.

This journey has had many ups and downs filled with hope and despair. Ron graciously walked his path full of faith. He touched so many lives during his allloo-short 38 years. Ron was bom in Grand Rapids, on February’ 18, 1980. From a young age, Ron had a zest for life and was very active in sports and supported local teams; the Detroit Tigers, Lions, Wings and U of M. Many of his buddies would tell stories of his “Glory Days’* when Ron wrestled, played football and baseball. All these stories had one thing in common: a man’s stron will, determi nation and mental strength. These traits characterized the man Ron grew up to be. Ron valiantly served in the United States Air Force from 2002-2008, and met Alison Lcssenger in late 2008. In March of 2009, Ron entered his first victorious battle with cancer. Alison was there by his side, and the two were happily married on May 22, 2010. Together, they built a family and settled in Caledo­ nia, where Ron found a job he loved for a company that fully supported him and his family through this journey; Grand Rapids Metrology. Ron was active in the youth and children’s min­ istries at their local church, Thomapple Valley Church (Middleville campus). Ron enjoyed coaching, watching and cheering on his children in sports, criticizing his wife's driving, and loved being surrounded by family and friends. Ron was a loyal and loving husband, father, ♦ * Dr. Douglas K. Shumway son and friend and will be so dearly missed. He leaves behind his wife Alison (Lessenger) Haynes; his son, Benjamin; two young daughters, Brianna and Charley; his parents, Ralph and Sheryl Haynes; his brother, Tom Haynes; father and mother-in-law, Brian and Fran Lessenger; sister­ in-law, Andrea (Lessenger) Woerly and Craig Hackett; sister-in-law, Amberly (Less­ enger) Ziegenhom and hus­ band Luke; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and a nephew.

Let’s review the causes for last year’s market volatility, Generally speaking, uncer­ tainty was a major culprit, Uncertainty about tariffs, uncertainty about the contin­ ued trade dispute with China, uncertainty about Brexit they all combined to make the markets nervous. Furthermore, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates four times, and even though rates remain low by histori­ cal standards, the increases caused some concern, as higher borrowing costs can eventually crimp the growth prospects for businesses. And now that we're into 2019, these same uncertain­ ties remain, so markets are likely to remain volatile. Although the Fed has indi­ cated it may be more cau­ tious with regard to new rate hikes, there are indications of slower growth ahead, partic­ ularly in China, the world’s second-largest economy. And after strong 2018 earnings growth, helped by the corpo­ rate tax cuts, corporate earn­ ings may grow more slowly - and, as always, earnings are a key driver of stock pric­ es. Nonetheless, the U.S. economy is showing enough strength that a recession does not appear to be on the horizon. which is also likely to be the case globally - and that should be good news, because an extended “bear" market typically does need to be fueled by a recession. Ultimately, the projected continued growth of the U.S. economy and the possible resolution of some uncertain­ ties could help markets rebound. As investors, we cannot control the everyday ups and downs in the markets, but we can control our decisions look for opportunities and keep a long-term perspective within our investment portfo­ lios. Consider these actions for 2019: 5 • Be prepared for volatili­ ty. As mentioned, many of the same factors that led to the market upheavals of 2018 are still with us, along with the impact of the partial gov­ ernment shutdown - so don't be surprised to see continued volatility. The more you're prepared for market turbulence, the less startled you'll be when it arrives. • Stay diversified. At any given time, different finan­ cial assets may move in dif­ ferent directions: stocks up, bonds down, or vice versa. To help dilute risk and take advantage of different oppor­ tunities, you should maintain a broadly diversified portfo­ lio containing stocks, inter­ national stocks, bonds, sovemment securities and so on. You may need to rebalance your portfolio to maintain an appropriate proportion of each asset class, based on your risk tolerance and long­ term goals. Keep in mind, though, that while diversifi­ cation can reduce the effects of volatility on your portfolio, it can't guarantee profits or protect against all losses. • Take a long-term per­ spective. It can be discon­ certing to see several-hun­ dred point drops in the stock market. But you can look past short-term events, especially if your most important financial target - a comfort­ able retirement - is still years or decades away. By keeping your focus on the long term. you can make investment decisions based on your objectives - not your emotions. If 2019 continues to be volatile, you’ll need to stay prepared and make the right moves - so you can be confi­ dent that you did everything you could to keep moving toward your financial goals.

Round two was an area of focus a couple weeks earlier, and the Scots were nearly 20 points better in round two than they had been at their previous competition. “They finally got comfort­ able with their new parts there,” Molis said. The Caledonia coaches were especially pleased with their girls’ splits and the overall precision in round two. The Scots skills in the round included a toe touch herkie, a near-arm cartwheel back handsprings and the switch splits.

The Fighting Scots still finished at the bottom of the six-team OK Red Conference Post-Season meet at Caledonia High School Friday, Feb. 1, but they showed off the gains they’ve made as they competed against most of the top cheer teams on the west side of the state. “Maybe the snowmageddon did us some good,” Caledonia coach Stacey Molis said. “We had some time off. They worked hard. We had one practice yester­ day and they worked their tails off.” Caledonia scored its high­ est point total of the season Friday, earning an overall score of 694.72 points.

The Trojans fell back by 24. The Thomapple Kellogg varsity wrestling team scored a 60-15 victory over the Hastings boys in the opening dual of the season back in December, but after a couple months of wrestling and a couple weeks with very lim­ ited amounts of wrestling or wrestling practice even the Saxons got their revenge. Hastings bested the Trojans 40-36 in the Division 2 District Final in Middleville Wednesday. The Saxons had a handful of freshmen in their line-up improve tremendously as the season went on. TK had a few injuries it was dealing with. The Saxons also got to get a little wrestling in during last week’s snowmageddon competing in their own Interstate-8 Athletic Tournament Conference Saturday in Jackson while the OK Gold Conference Tournament in Wayland was canceled entirely last week­ end. It all added up to a very different outcome. In the opening dual, TK won every bout between 130 pounds and 215 pounds. Hastings took four of the five matches from 135 pounds to 160 Thursday, getting huge pins from senior Jacob Pennington at 145 pounds and Kenny Smith at 160 who were both pinned by Trojans in December. Tyler Dull also scored a pin for the Saxons at 152 pounds, and Gabe Trick switched his result with TK’s Matthew Middleton with a 5-0 win Thursday in the 135pound match, “We made a point of it. We’ve got nothing to lose, why not do something special, cial,"” Hastings first-year head coach Darrell Slaughter said. “Who ever thinks that is going to work out? But it did.” Eventually, it came down to the final bout of the eve­ ning, with Hastings' Mason TK’s pinning Denton Camren Zoet 1 minute 34.1 seconds into their 119-pound match. “We have had a lot of freshmen in our line-up. They have a lot more experi­ ence than they first did. Everyone has put in a lot of a work since (December), Hastings senior captain Devin Dilno said. “Our team has been busting our butts since day one and we came here to show it off today." After pins by TK’s Christian Wright at 171 pounds, Adam Bush at 189 pounds and Carter West at 215 pounds the Trojans had a 30-27 lead with four bouts to go. The Thornapple Kellogg sideline erupts in celebration as teammate Adam Bush scores a pin in his 189-pound match against Wayland in the Division 2 Team District Semifinal Thursday in Middleville.

In September, he opened the second GYMGUYS fran­ chise in Michigan and is lov­ ing what he does. Benjamin, a resident of Middleville, said he’s enjoyed sports and fitness all his life. As a senior in col­ lege, he wrote a business plan for a gym and dreamed about opening it someday, After graduating, he entered the corporate world, working in pharmaceuticals and the hunting and fishing industry. He and his wife, Tammy, who he met at Eastern University, Michigan returned to her hometown of Middleville and settled down to start a family after college. Years later, when his compa­ ny was bought and he was let go, Benjamin revisited his college dream and started to research options for fitness training. “As 1 got older, I grew tired of corporate life,” Benjamin said. “Owning my own business grew more and more appealing.” Benjamin was impressed with the GYMGUYS fran­ chise because it didn’t expect people to go to a gym. Their concept was to bring the gym to the people. “Eighty percent of gym memberships are never used,” Benjamin Beniamin said. “People aren’t getting the stay in motion.

The Thomapple Kellogg varsity boys’ basketball team scored its first OK Gold Conference victory of the season, and its first win of any kind since a December victory over Hastings, at Wayland Union High School Tuesday. Senior point guard Isaiah Guenther poured in 29 points as the Trojans downed the host Wildcats 67-53. “It was a total team effort, from the guys on the floor who played with energy and toughness to the guys on the bench who were full of enthusiasm and encourage­ ment,” TK head coach Mike Rynearson said. The Trojans attacked the basket throughout the night, going to the free throw line 30 times. TK knocked down 22 of those 30 free throw attempts. Guenther was 16-of-19 himself. “It is always part of our game plan to get (to the free throw line) 15 or 20 times,” Rynearson said. “To get there 30 is outstanding.

The Scots also got out in transition once for another bucket from Diekevers, turn­ ing a 12-6 Hudsonville lead into a 13-12 lead for the Caledonia varsity girls’ bas­ ketball team in their OK Red Conference match-up with the visiting Eagles Tuesday. That little 7-0 run showed off what happens when things are going right for the Fighting Scots. The minutes when they struggled to get the ball over half-court against the Eagles' pressure and tried to do a little too much individually offensive­ ly showed why the Scots are still chasing their first con­ ference win of the season. The Eagles bested the Scots 60-47 Tuesday. “We have not played four quarters of winning basket­ ball, except for probably against Wayland. We’ve played two or three winning quarters in a game, and even against (East Kentwood Feb. 1) we were up 11-2 in the first quarter and then EK woke up and ended up mak­ ing it 11-11 at the quarter. We were stringing things togeth­ er,” Caledonia head coach Mike Glass said.O “We had a really good last four or five minutes of the first quarter after the start of the first quarter where it was like we hadn’t even played basketball in six years. I think they went up 5-0 and we couldn’t even get the ball past half-court in the first three minutes. Then you look up with a minute to go in the first quarter and we’re up.” Caledonia had an 18-14 lead at the end of one quarter, but the Eagles pressure and a couple of offensive rebounds got them right back in front.

The Scots evened evened the the ball ball­ game game with with the the first first four four points of the second half, but a three-pointer early in the third quarter and eventually another early in the fourth by Eagle freshman guard Jaci Tubergen helped her team slowly pull away.

It is just one of those years where things are going the other team’s way and we’re not making the adjustments during the game, and they’re not missing,” Glass said, said. “When they mess up we’re not capitalizing. We miss our lay-up or we miss our threepoint shot or the ball just doesn’t bounce our way. You have to overcome those things if you want to be a good team.” Caledonia got 14 points from Diekevers and 12 from Amiyah VanderGeld in the bailgame. Kendall Krupiczweicz finished with nine points and LeBaron eight. Glass liked the way way Diekevers found space on the offensive end, and how VanderGeld continues to work her way back to 100 percent. “Amiyah had a really nice game,” Glass said. “She set up some girls. She had some charges called on her. That is okay. She is being aggres­ sive. I really like that her demeanor is a lot better and she is becoming more of a leader out there and working hard.” He sees all of his girls a IgjRi®8 Caledonia senior guard Brooklynne Siewertsen is pressured by Hudsonville’s Alaina Diaz as she gets the ball across half-court during the first half of the OK Red Conference ballgame in Caledonia Tuesday evening.

Blitchok had asked the repre­ sentatives to provide feed­ back on what needed to be updated in the next year, the next five years, and any development as far as creating space for educational purposes and adding dedicat­ ed specials space. In the last few months, representatives from the two companies walked through the district’s indoor and out­ door facilities and conduct­ ed a visual assessment to obtain budget numbers so the board can move forward in its efforts to plan for the future.

These include: teaching and learning, bud­ get and finance, community engagement and facilities and infrastructure. The goal is to determine what must be implemented and how to determine success in each of these areas. The goals, made with feedback from the community forums and surveys, will be streamlined and included in the plan to be finished in the spring. In the regularly scheduled board meeting on Feb. 11, the facilities assessment update, constructed by OwnAmes-Kimball Company, in Contributing Writer Protests from residents, both in person and via email, over fines received in the aftermath of a late January snowstorm have village officials again considering whether changes need to be (made to Caledonia’s snow removal ordinance. For the time being, the Village Council has moved to waive snow removal fines incurred by residents on Jan. 22 and 23 and said that the village will handle fines for the remainder of the winter season using a complaint-based system. Several residents spoke at council’s meeting on Monday, Feb. 11, saying that the village had hardly given them any time to clear their sidewalks of snow following the accumulation that occurred during the early part of the week of Jan. 20-26 before the Department of Public Works came out and did the job themselves, resulting in the issuing of multiple fines. “We moved in last May — well past snow days — and were very surprised to receive a snow removal bill on 1/23,” Britanny Van't Hof, a resident of Emmons Street, wrote in an email. “There was no communica­ tion as to what the expectations are regarding snow removal. There was no welcome to the neighborhood packet — nothing.” Van’t Hof said the reason her family did not get their sidewalk clear during the time frame in question was because they were battling with the flu in her house­ hold that week. Other residents showed up at Monday night’s meet­ ing to address their griev­ ances in person. One such individual was Sylvia Murphy of Mill Street. “I’d like to ask why can’t we show a little neighborly love and grace? (Maybe provide) just a gentle reminder to clear your sidewalks, it's starting to snow out, instead of getting an email saying: ‘We're going to bill you because you didn't clear your sidewalk, Murphy said. “Why quickly go to punishment and create ill-will?” The village amended its snow removal ordinance as recently as last year after 555 residents had raised similar concerns, changing the lan­ guage so that residents were given a 24-hour grace peri­ od to remove accumulations of two or more inches of snow from their sidewalks. The ordinance reads, in part: “Should any person fail to remove snow as the Public required Service Director shall cause such snow to be removed and the expense thereof shall be charged to the per­ son violating this Ordinance.” Trustee Eric VanGessel refuted the notion that resi­ dents were not given ample time to remove snow, citing the fact that the village even suspended the enforcement of its snow removal ordinance between Jan. 30 and Feb. 2 when the region was hit especially hard. VanGessel was alone in this view, however, as the rest of the council agreed to waive the fees and tempo­ rarily rely on complaints about egregious situations for the rest of the winter. Those residents who had already paid the fine will be refunded their money. Ames-Kimball, addressed deficiencies and provided options for each building.

The decision came after Michael Schmidt, Middleville Downtown Authority Development director, told the council the DDA plans to construct an amphitheater farther south along the East Bank river than the Village’s “final draft” had planned for. “It’s always our dream to have bigger and larger crowds,” Schmidt said, add­ ing that, by placing the amphitheater farther south, it would place it further away from the parking lot, which means there would be less of a chance that the amphithe­ ater crowd would infringe on the park’s parking area. The DDA’s placement of the amphitheater complicates the Villages final draft since the space the DDA wants the amphitheater to occupy would take up about twothirds of the larger child playground that is currently planned, according according to to coun coun-­ planned, cil member Mike Cramer. Village council council member member Village Phil Van Noord was asked if the more southern placement of the amphitheater would interfere with sound quality because it would be closer to the Middleville dam. Schmidt said that Lew Russ, a professional musi­ cian and a member of the DDA, had indicated that the southern placement of the amphitheater would not impede performing musi­ cians. Upon Cramer’s initial sug­ gestion, the Council decided to hold on voting on the final draft of the East Bank Park in light of Schmidt’s remarks. The council will work on changes to the park plan at the Village’s next committee of the whole meeting in March, and await site plans for the amphitheater from the DDA. The Village also had a visit from Rob Blitchok, the REVELATION, continued from pg. I I 'll 9 ■■I * •• - - • 4J 1* ; ! ' |is 03® •f iat tS*4it •* Q I I \ * F 1 .

Numerous audience mem­ bers said Grinage should not have been allowed to vote on the MML proposal to search for a new village manager when he himself was lining up to take the job, that his deciding vote, in fact, repre­ sented a conflict of interest. In addition, some said the president is not qualified to take over the manager role. “You need somebody in this position who’s going to hit the ground running and, with all due respect to you, Todd, you’re not qualified to hit the ground running,” Williamson, the former vil­ lage president, said. “You need to find someone to fill those shoes the day they start and have all the knowledge Sandy has, or more. “I don’t see what the ques­ tion even is here,” Williamson said. “You’ve got to do the right thing.” After hearing the opinions of audience members, whom he allowed to speak freely throughout the evening, and some of his fellow trustees, Grinage agreed to step out of the room so that the council could re-vote on the MML proposal. Trustee Eric VanGessel’s subsequent motion to accept the organization’s proposal at an all-inclusive cost of $14,000, pending a review of references and the consent contract between the village and the MML, as well as input from the village attor­ ney concerning any potential conflict of interest, passed by a 4-2 vote. For that $14,000, the MML will help the village with a profiling process that will include engagement with elected officials, a review of the compensation package being offered for the village manager position and the ereation of a standard candidate “I don’t see what the question even is here. You’ve got to do the right thing.” Scott Williamson, former Caledonia village president profile. From there, the organization will work on marketing and advertising the position. The third step cten of the process nrocess will be candidate screening and selection, which will include pre-screening activi­ ties and application analysis, the development of a standard interview format and questions, assistance in mak­ ing a conditional offer and a full third-party background check. “We’ve worked with cities, we’ve worked with townships, villages and counties throughout the state,” Kathie Grinzinger, lead executive recruiter for the MML, told trustees. “We offer you a group of people who understand what you do, who know what your line of work is, who under­ stand your commitment to your community and the forces that you also under­ take to do efficient and effec­ tive business for those resi­ dents at the same time.” The process typically takes at least 120 days, Grinzinger said, but can run longer or shorter depending on trust­ ees’ schedules. Should the search process take longer than expected, Grinzinger said the council might want to bring in an interim manager.

Willshire said that, just that past weekend, she had spent “several hours on the phone” dealing with cemetery business. proposed Buckowing increasing the clerk depart­ ment’s budget by $2,600, $3,120, or $3,900; any one of those three options would be added to the Willshire’s sala­ ry. The rest of the board was more hesitant on this budget Ian Watson 13 . Contributing Writer The Thomapple Township board discussed three differ­ ent additions to the 2019­ 2020 budget at its regular meeting on Monday, Feb. 11. The additions included a correction to General Fund revenue, an increase to the township Planning and Zoning budget, both of which passed; and an increase to the township clerk’s budget, which was postponed. The General Fund correc­ tion amounted to an addition­ al $4,132 in revenue, result­ ing in the line item of $4,128 increasing to the correct amount of $8,260.

Board member Sandy Rairigh commented that she thought the process to increase the clerk’s salary was beini “rushed.” Board Member > Curt Campbell questioned why the township had to be so involved in the process with funerals and said he “strug­ gled to see the urgency” of the matter. The motion to increase the clerk department’s budget was postponed until the township’s March meeting. The board also approved the foliowin salaries for three of its staff members for the 2019-2020 fiscal year: Supervisor, $36,565; treasurer, $47,289.23, and clerk, $43,000.

The Thomapple Kellogg varsity girls’ basketball team took its first lead of the fourth quarter with a little over three minutes to play as Cross found her center Hess wide open for a short jumper on an inbounds play from under the basket. Moments later junior guard Claudia Wilkinson corralled a loose ball in the Eagles’ end and TK came right back down to the offensive end where Hess made a great pass in from the three point line to Cross wide open in the middle of the lane for another bucket. In the span of a few sec­ onds the Eagles’ went from up 35-34 to down 38-35.

We had kind of a winning and then losing streak, so it was kind of cool to end that and bring our record back to even.” It was the second of two OK Gold Conference wins in the week for the Trojans, who also beat Wayland Tuesday (Feb. 5) in Middleville, and the first time all season they’ve won back-to-back ballgames. TK now has three wins in a row after scoring a 53-36 win at Forest Hills Eastern Tuesday evening. The Trojans are 6-4 in the OK Gold Conference and 8-7 overall on the sea­ son. “We kind of have a tag­ team thing we call it where $150 OFF A HIGH EFFICIENT FURNACE OR BOILER it- we get an assist for each other back and forth,” Cross said of her back-to-back scores teamed up with Hess Friday. “We had a couple of those at Caledonia. It’s always cool to kind of work together.” TK had an 11-6 lead in the opening quarter Friday, but the Eagles rallied to score the final final four four points points of ofthe the quar quar­ ter. ter. The The two two teams teams went went into into the half tied at 21-21. TK sophomore guard Paige VanStee had a steal and a bucket in the opening moments of the second half to put her team up two, but the Eagles answered with a 7-0 run over the next few minutes. • That was VanStee’s only field goal of the game. The Trojans’ leading scorer on the season finished with just three points. Christian only briefly had the lead taken away by a three from Wilkinson with 55 seconds to go in the third quarter before going into the fourth up 32-30. The Eagles’ focus on VanStee came up big in the end. TK head coach Ross Lambitz called a time-out with 3:15 to go, setting up the inbounds play from Cross to Hess. The play started with TK setting a screen for VanStee, hoping to draw the attention of the Eagles and leave Hess open on the back­ side. Drprnpr\ ' “He was like, ‘yell at Paige. Tell her to make a good cut and then pass it to Maddie,”’ Cross said, said. She did, and she did. Hess finished with 11 points. “Knowing that they wanted to take Paige away was something that helped us down the stretch. They flooded her and that allowed Maddie to get free a little bit,” Lambitz said. Wilkinson led TK with 11 points. Tyah Jefferson hit a couple big threes for TK and totaled seven points. VanStee got her third point at the free throw line, hitting the second of two shots with 2:15 to go and putting her team up 39-35. Hitting a few more free throws would have made everything less stressful on the TK ladies in the end. TK missed the front end of three one-and-ones following that make by VanStee, and then missed two more foul shots after getting into the double bonus. The Eagles got to within two points with less than a minute to play on a bucket by Emma Witte, but team­ mate Claire Cassiday’s last second attempt was a moment too late and missed its mark anyway. Witte and teammate Rory Pruis had 12 points each and Liv Brunink had eight for the ?! R Eagles. Their team went 9-of-10 at the free throw line for the night. TK was just 6-of-17 at the free throw line, but did the rest of the things it needed to down the stretch. “We handled the pressure well,” Lambitz said. “We had some turnovers earlier, but once it got under two minutes there I don’t think we turned the ball over. Obviously, we missed the free throws, which would have helped a ton ... but I thought we did an excellent job of getting the ball to our guards, keeping it high, keeping it out of the comer.” TK jumped out to an 11-6 lead in the opening quarter at Forest Hills Eastern Tuesday and extended its lead to 24-16 at the half. The Trojans built their lead to double figures in the second half, and the Hawks closed back within six points before TK pulled away again for the victory. TK closes out the OK Gold Conference season at home against Wyoming Friday (Feb. 22). They were scheduled to visit South Christian last night.

Tuesday at Caledonia High School. (Photo by Brett (Photo by Brett Bremer) Bremer) Brett Bremer Sports Editor The Caledonia varsity boys’ basketball team earned a split in its two non-conference ballgames during a rare break from the OK Red Conference schedule this week?™’ :i’ The Fighting Scots bounced back from a 79-70 loss to visiting NorthPointe Christian Tuesday to score a 50-47 win over Lowell at Caledonia High School Wednesday. The win over the Red Arrows was a much needed one as the Scots are still working on their first OK Red Conference win of the season. The loss to the Mustangs was a very disap­ pointing one as the Scots were hoping to make it two for two in the pair of non-conference contests. “We turned the ball over 24 times,” Caledonia head coach Phil Visser said after Tuesday evening’s defeat. “We talk about handling the pressure and make the easy pass. We preach, make the easy pass, make the easy pass, and then we decided tonight we weren't going to make the easy pass and they wanted it more than we did tonight unfortunately.” We gave them too many turnovers to touchdowns, a live ball turnover and they go €4 ball. He finished the evening with 30 points, scoring 14 in the first quarter alone. At least three of buckets in the opening quarter were those “turnovers to touchdowns." His teammate Cory Dunn drilled a three-pointer at the buzzer to put the Mustangs up 29-20 at the end of the The quarter. opening Mustangs hit nine threes as a team, shooting 53 percent from behind the arc for the night. Sam Vasiu finished with 18 points, Elijah Daley ten and Jared De Clark and Grant Baker had seven points apiece. Caledonia got 20 points from Luke Thelen, who had three threes of his own. Aaron Henry chipped in 15 points, Koby VanderWoude ten, Keegan Peterson eight and Carter Thomas seven for the Scots. The Scots slowly worked their way back to within three points in the second quarter, and took a very brief 42-40 lead at the start of the third quarter. Daley drilled back-to-back three-pointers to wipe out that Caledonia advantage though, and his team led the rest of the evening, “It is hard to win games when you give up 79,” Visser said. He was expecting another chaotic up and down ballgame against Lowell. The Scots fell 51-43 in an OK Red Conference ballgame last Saturday at Rockford.

Stacy Bender, one of two current Caledonia FFA advi­ sors and an agricultural science teacher at Caledonia High School, said the area’s farming roots run deep. “Caledonia was once a very rural community with many farms and farming families,” Bender said. “Many of the families are still there; however, the farms are decreasing in size and number.

For Remi Huver, a junior at Caledonia High School and three-year Caledonia FFA member, joinin the organization was as much about keeping with tradition — her father and older broth­ er also were members in their high school days — as it was about embracing a chance to better herself, “FFA is an organization that commits each member to a hard-working mindset, and a whole new level of confidence,” Huver said. “Though FFA continues to carry the ‘farming’ reputa­ tion, I would say that FFA represents both diversity and individuality. There are tons of great competitions and contests in FFA that can fit to every person’s liking.” “It’s an organization that wants to uplift everyone and open doors for kids to live out their dreams,” she said. Fellow Caledonia FFA member and classmate Zoey Zupin would agree. “FFA consists of a diverse group of people, ail with dif­ ferent backgrounds,” Zupin said. “FFA |has given] me numerous opportunities to use the leadership skills I have obtained to help my school and community.” Zupin said one of the most significant opportunities the organization has provided her was the chance to attend the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis. “I got to meet a bunch of other FFA members from other states, learn more about the agricul­ ture industry and got to see Garth Brooks in concert,” she said. “It was an amazing experi­ ence that made me a better leader.” As Bender put it: “FFA is more than just a class or a club; it instills a way of life and builds relationships that last a lifetime.

(Photo by Brett Bremer) Brett Bremer Sports Editor It took a little finagling, but the Caledonia/Lowell/ South Christian varsity boys’ swimming and diving team finished off an undefeated season of OK Rainbow Conference Tier II duals in Hastings Thursday. The CLS boys go into the conference meet with the conference lead after knock­ ing off Wayland 101-84 in their fifth conference dual of the season, a dual that was originally scheduled for Feb. 7 in Wayland. The Wildcats end the conference duals at 4-1. “This was a tight meet. I expected it to be tight. They put on a show,” CLS head coach Trenten Babcock said. Obviously, we came out on top, but it was really tight. It was really close. Wayland has a lot of good talent. I've got nothing but respect for them. I enjoyed the close races. You win some and you lose some of them. I got hyped for the kids. Some of the old swimming instincts come back.” The two teams will return to Hastings Feb. 22-23 for the conference meet. Wayland also swam its dual with the Delton Kellogg/ Thornapple Kellogg/ Hastings boys Thursday, scoring a 125-56 win over the evening’s hosts. DK/TK/Hastings is 1-3 in conference duals, and will score its league dual with the Muskegon/Mona Shores Co-op team during the pre­ liminary heats at the confer- ence meet. Babcock said his guys quickly learned that Wayland came to win Thursday when the Wildcat foursome of Sean Jenison, Rory Bessinger, Garret Kloska and Jordan Sopjes took the 200- ;yard medley relay in 1 min­ ute 43.73 seconds, besting the Viking team of Ty Dykhouse, Alexander Pollock, Ethan Arendsen and David Bud that touched the wall in 1:44.00. The Vikings were a little surprised to swim their best time of the season in the 200 medley relay and still not win the race. “Guys, they're as fast as us.” Babcock reminded his swimmers after that first race. “We need to treat them as such. So I, figuratively speaking, knocked a few of them upside the head and they got out of their funk and we did what we had to do.” Depth really got the job done. In the next race, the 200-yard freestyle, the Vikings had the top three finishers with Emmet Schmehling leading the way in 1:56.32. Zach Logan was second and Zach Burghgraef third. Andrew Tuokkola from Fabiano won the 100-yard DK/TK/Hastings was fourth freestyle in 49.92 seconds. in that race, finishing in He is just off the Division I 2:06.43 to earn a win his state qualifying time in both team’s dual with Wayland. that race and the 100-yard Tuokkola had two of the backstroke, but he didn’t get four wins for his team against to compete in the backstroke the Wildcats. He also fin- after being disqualified for ished third overall in the an unfortunate false start 500-yard freestyle in 5:39.14. before the swimmers were behind a pair of Vikings, even supposed to be entering Schmehling won that race in the water in that race. CLS’s Dykhouse swam to 5:19.46 with Burghgraef secvictory in that 100 back­ ond in 5:28.61. CLS and Wayland each stroke in 58.32 seconds. CLS won six events in their match-up.

There was this electric sense of tension. J told these guys, this is a pre­ view of conference. TTiis was the first time this season that 91 I had actually felt that elec­ tricity going. Usually, that goes from 0 to 100 for conference. I guess if 11 go from 50 to 100 this time. I was really happy for them.

Sopjes, Wolf, Sean Jenison and Cooper Sidebotham won the 400-yard freestyle relay for Wayland in 3:40.18. “We didn’t have a lot of better swims, but there were some,” DK/TK/Hastings head coach Tyler Bultema said. “Without the last two days of practice and the crappy practice schedule we’ve had, they’ll keep grinding. They’ll have a good week of practice ahead.” “We have a lot of little tiny things to fix.

She has qualified for six of the possible eight events that an athlete could compete in during their high school ski career, and Wednesday’s regional medal is the fifth of her career. The first DQ in her 12 years of racing came Wednesday though too, pre­ venting her from qualifying for the state finals in both the GS and the slalom like fel­ low Fighting Scot Keegan Beemer from the boys’ team was able to do. Beemer placed sixth in the GS and seventh in the slalom to qualify for the state finals for the second time. The Division 2 State Finals will be held Feb. 25 at Boyne Mountain. The Caledonia boys were fifth and the girls sixth as a team at the regional meet. “The coaches are extremely proud of the way our team skied today, they have been training hard and were very focused. We saw a lot of maturity from our guys on the slopes today as we bat­ tled tough conditions that ranged from solid ice to fluffy snow,” coach Duane Petrosky said. East Grand Rapids won the boys’ meet with just 46 points, wining both events in a landslide, scoring just 19 points in the GS and 27 in the slalom. Grand Rapids Christian was second with 112 total points, placing sec­ ond in the GS with 55 points and the slalom with 57.

Beemer was seventh in the slalom with runs of 33.08 seconds and 32.74. That 32.74 on the second time down the hill was the fifthbest run two time of the day. East Grand Rapids had three guys in the top ten, and four in the top 12, in the sla­ lom. It was Cadillac’s Alex Netzley who won the event individually, putting together runs of 30.86 and 31.32.

Emily Petrosky was 12th her first time down the hill in the GS, but bounced back to score a seventh-place time of 29.40 in her second run and finish seventh overall. She had a time of 30.84 in that opening run. Forest Hills Central's Courtney McAlindon had the two fastest first and second GS runs putting together times of 29.10 and 27.61. Petrosky was also hoping to make up a couple spots in the slalom after a seventh-place finish on her first run, but hit her ski in the middle of a gate on her sec­ ond time down the hill and her ski popped off - which is an automatic DQ. Emily Dean led the Scots in the slalom on the day, putting together times of 37.92 and 40.60 to place 20th over­ all. Caledonia also had Alana Black 26th, Emmalee Hamp 33rd and Anna VanElderen 40th in the event, Megan Northview’s Paasche had the fastest first and second runs in the sla­ lom, earning times of 32.30 and 34.61.

Behind Petrosky in the GS, Caledonia had Black 16th, Hamp 36th and Dean 40th. “The girls skied their hearts out today and we are proud of their efforts,” coach Petrosky said. This team has done extremely well this season and is working to set themselves up for a great finish to their conference season. The weather has moved three of our confer­ ence races to the next two weeks and this team is ready to finish up strong.” J Help Wanted B usiness Services RESIDENT AIDE, PART and Full Time.

If approved by the village council, that money will be added to the DDA’s contrac­ tual budget and will be avail­ able for use by the DDA this fiscal year.

The only concern during the discussion was expressed by Chairwoman Ann Ulberg, who initially was hesitant to cast her vote, commenting, 54 3 School approves $356,000 in See REQUESTS, page w 3 ■ varsity softball field improvements 44 Ulberg did however join Tanett Hodge Staff Writer The second “count day” of the school year for the Thomapple Kellogg School System took place Thursday, Feb. 14.

School districts receive funding based on their student count, and budgets are built on estimates of how many students are enrolled. “The spring count represents only 10 percent of the per-pupil funding,” he said, We are a base foundation district, which means we get the base amount (minimum) funding per student. The amount for 2018-19 is $7,871 per student.” He estimated a lost revenue of $17314. When asked how this will affect services provided, Blitchok said he is not worried. “When put into the context of our total annual revenue budget of $32 million, the amount will have no impact,” he said. 1 Logan T.

Priority consideration for state aid programs adminis- 5? tered by Treasury's Student Scholarships and Grants division are given to students whose FAFSA is received at the federal processor March 1 or earlier. “The FAFSA is the first step in the process of applying for financial aid,” said acting Deputy State Treasurer Anne Wohlfert, who over­ sees the treasury depart­ ment’s student financial aid programs. “Students and families who are seeking financial assistance are encouraged to file this free application immediately. Prior to completing the online FAFSA, the student $ and at least one parent must obtain a Federal Student Aid ID at fafsa.gov. This ID serves as a legal signature and confirms an applicant’s identity when accessing financial aid information through certain U.S. Department of Education websites. To get started with the FAFSA, individuals can go to fafsa.gov.

Previously attempted only seven times Michigan history, it failed 36 to 64 percent, but the nays got the largest percent of sup­ port up to that time. Three reasons this occurred: First, to eliminate the vil­ lage’s 10 mills of property taxes as the township per­ forms the same functions and villagers pay township taxes. With 12 times the population, the township has more resources, economies of scale and does it with a part­ time supervisor and staff. Second, village high-tax sentiments block other local being from millages approved. Third, the process froze annexation threats to the township; by the village (to the river), by City of Grand Rapids (south of airport) and the City of Kentwood (north­ west corner/M-37 inter­ change area). The merger issue created time for the township to finish conver­ sion from an annexable gen­ eral law to an un-annexable charter form of government. Since then, the village has voluntarily ceded responsibility for: The library (to Kent District), the fire department (township), the water and most of the sewer system and its billing (township), cemetery (township), street lights (City of Grand Rapids), the parks, trails, state roads, mapping and police (to Kent County). Both use the same contractors for: Major road work, inspections and con­ struction approvals, public works and engineering. Insurance regulations now force all public activities (like the Fourth of July) and parades to be sponsored by private groups. The zoning of remaining village building sites is complete or constricted requiring only quarterly meetings, There is more. A decade ago, the remaining little tasks plus the village clerk’s posi­ tion was consolidated into the manager’s job. The manager now supervises two and a half people in a 28-officehour week. Supervised are a Department of Public Works person who collects yard waste, does leaf pickup, street snowplowing and road maintenance. They also seem to ticket ordinance scofflaws. A 20-hour per-week administrative assistant han­ dies council and resident inquiries. In summer, a half­ time person does some mowing. One large village expense is for the same attor­ neys who work for the town­ ship, paying them $200-plus an hour to write letters back and forth to themselves. While merger advocates succeeded succeeded in in transferring transferring 90 90 percent of the work, the remaining remaining legal legal structure structure still still leaves leaves villagers villagers paying paying 7.5 7.5 mills mills of of taxes taxes per per year year for for aa shell.

That’s 40 percent of a 28-hour week, revealing there is no quantity of work to do. The fact is, the shell government can have any reasonable, kind-hearted village resident monitor it. The council knows this and was probably why, last month, instead of some nefarious “revelation,” they considered just assigning the supervising duties to the village president and paying him a little more. But last week, citizens had the council approve a con­ Michigan with tract Municipal League totaling $14,000, plus attorney fees, to find an executive manager. Note the manager position reports to the council. So it should be the council, not an employee, an ad-hoc committee or external people doing the hiring. But consider, is it even worth creating a $80,000 to $100,000 position to supervise the two and half positions described above? Maybe, if you want more ticketing ordinances. Michigan Municipal League services may still be needed. After the merger vote failed, the MMLin 1998 got the Republican state legislature and governor to effectively eliminate citizen-sponsored mergers. But Chapter 14 of the General Law Village Act does allow a local government to initiate a merger. With a two-thirds vote of both boards, a joint township/village resolution committee can be created and meet for a year. The resolu­ tion committee would review and resolve any merger issues, like debts and financ­ es and create a merger con­ tract protecting both sides, L FABULOUS FINDS F RESALE SHOP II Household treasures, gently lovedfurniture, repurposed J Retirement Ask about our annuities and IRAs items, antiques, new items from local vendors. iRe-DoYour Home For LessflB ) FARM BUREAU .

Although the temperature was a cool 20 something degrees all day, and the roads were a lit­ tle slick, over 3,700 people came out to enjoy the winter tradition on the lake. “This is the first winterfest we've had in three years,” Chuck Dietrich said, whose family has had a cottage on the lake for three genera­ tions. “We’ve had “mudfest" for the last two.” As the day kicked off, children played, anglers fished for the big catch, snowmobilers dashed around the lake, music filled the air u Uta T A t T'jV r ft crowd's pleasure, he was successful. « y jH •J •y ic-* — 7 •4 -s^ri ii w I' n 5-’ Im* <» and food and drink were con­ sumed. The final round of Gun Lake Idol took place in the afternoon. Shelby Lentz from Ybar in Kalamazoo took first place, which gar­ nished her $1,000. “What a great time," Lentz said. “I really enjoyed the whole process." Second place went to Tony Morris from Family Tavern in Caledonia, who earned $500 for his country tunes. Third place, along with $300, was given to Sonjia Fleming from Sohisticated Gentlemans’s Club. The award of “popular vote went to Alec Mitchell, who brought his fan club with him and also went home with kioo $300 that day. The cold weather didn't bother those involved in the ice fishing competition. Zach Nielson's total of 6.4 lbs. of crappie won him first place, Second place went to Logan Bishop and third to Mason Riemersma. Jim Rodgers took home the first place trophy for panfish with his catch of 1.6 lbs. No pike were weighed. Winners earned gift certificates from A Sportsman’s Attic. Tamara and John Benjamin have been coming to The stars and stripes Winterfest since the 1980’s were represented in Gun and come every year. “It’s very different than it Lake’s Polar Plunge this used to be," Tamara said. “ I year. remember when the moun­ tain men were here and there were teepees everywhere. There were sled dog races too,” she said. The Benjamins just enjoy coming and seeing everyone and being outdoors. This makes the planning committee happy. According to Rex and Liz Roscoe and Kim Bedford, co-chairs of the committee, their purpose for all the work they put into the event is to bring people out to promote awareness of the beauty of Gun Lake, even in the winter.

That was the top round two score of the tour­ nament, but the Lancers managed a score of just 280.50 in round three. Round three was the Saxons’ round Friday. Hastings scored a 305.30 in round three, just having one little wobble at the very end. “They had to stay really focused, hit one at a time and go clean,” Hastings head coach Linsey Jacinto said. “We have really been focus­ ing on that. We don't even run our whole round (in practice). We just run it in segments and really focus on timing and staying clean, strong and they have been doing just that ” Hastings also scored a 216.70 in round one and 198.16 in round two. “Round one, we really focused on these last two weeks and it was much bet­ ter,” Jacinto said. “Il didn’t score as high, but when you move on you expect to get scored harder harder.

The Trojans extended their practice time to three hours Thursday to be ready for Friday. “We had a snow day Tuesday and Wednesday, and we changed our whole round one and two Monday, so then Thursday was our last prac­ tice and we had three hours because coach pushed times back,” TK junior flyer Ava Phillips said. “We were tired, but we gave it our all.” She said the toughest part of that was just trying to remember everything. “You really had to put your thinking caps on,” Phillips said, TK scored a 222.80 in round one and 200.94 in round two. The Trojans fin­ ished off the day with a 293.20 in round three, Those were the top scores of the season in rounds one and two for the Trojans. TK added back handsprings to their round two routine after having them out for a couple meets, mostly because of injury concerns. “They did phenomenal today,” TK s second-year head coach Ally Clouse said. “I could not be more proud of the team that I had today. I couldn't have asked for any thin more. I’ve ot no ripe*, that is for sure. They came to compete and they showed up.” Hastings only has a few seniors on the mat this sea­ son. The Trojans don't have any. “Last year was a year of transition for sure,” Clouse said. “From last year to this * 11 •4 year, the amount of growth I have seen in these girls is absolutely incredible. And I have no seniors, so next year is goin to be even better. Having seniors helps, but just the morale and the bond that they have, the 14 of them, it is incredible. I have not coached a team like that. This is my second year doing varsity, but before that 1 did middle school for four years, and I have not had a group that is this tight knit, and motivating to each other and encouraging. I am so proud to be their coach. 1 tell them that all the time. They’re phenomenal.” Parma Western was sev­ enth overall on the day with a score of 672.CM), ahead of 67 I .02, Plainwell 658.00, Edwardsbur Jackson Northwest 637.76, Wayland 606.84, Harper Creek 585.60 and St. Joseph 561.42.

Senior point guard Isaiah Guenther had 13 points, going 7-of-8 at the free throw line, “It is good to snap the los­ ing streak,” Guenther said. This was a lot of fun to do it on our home court in front of all our friends and parents. I think we have known we can play this way. We’ve competed with a lot of teams. We have had problems throughout the season with not putting things together for a full game. We did that tonight, and I think that is really the way we can play. “The young guys are com­ ing along so well. It is going to be awesome to see them in the future. Things really turned out well tonight." Guenther teamed up with VanElst for another one of the night’s top plays, whip­ ping a one-handed pass from behind the three-point line on the left wing under the hoop where the long sophomore forward snagged it and dropped in a little reverse lay-up. Guenther’s passing skills rubbing off on his young teammates will only help the Trojans in the future. future, Shoobridge and VanElse teamed up to get each other good looks time and again. “I think as the season has gone on, our big-to-big pass­ ing has been exceptional,” Rynearson said. “They find each other. We work on that high-low. If the other team has one big and we can bring Austin out and move that big away from the basket, then we can dump it down to our other big. We try to use that to our advantage. They find each other and they do a good job. They’re learning to move without the basketball, square up and see what is in front of them.” The Trojans also got nine points from senior center Joe Dinkel and seven form soph­ omore guard Noah Daley in the win. TK built a 28-21 lead in the first half Wednesday, and led 37-28 going into the fourth quarter. Zeeland never got closer than nine points in the final eight minutes. “We switched up our defenses a lot tonight,” Rynearson said. “When we threw the 2-3 zone at them early on it didn't look like they were ready for it, probably because we hadn't played it all year so they hadn't seen it and hadn’t worked on it. I think just switching up that defense a little bit really helped us contain (Clayton) Dykhouse. He will break you down one-on-one. It doesn't matter who is defending him, he is going to get in the paint. If he is bound and determined to get in there, he is going to get in the paint. I think our 2-3 kind of pinched those gaps up a little bit and kept him on the perimeter a lot. “Any time you can keep that man out of the paint you're doing a good job. He creates a lot for them. He creates easy buckets for everybody else. They just didn't get anything easy tonight because we did a up in the district's other Monday night opener, with the winner of that ballgame taking on Grand Ledge in the district semifinals.

In other news, the village council approved an ordi­ nance that will rezone the parcel of land at 704 Grand Rapids St. The parcel was zoned R1 (low-density sin­ gle-family residential), but will now be zoned as 1-1 (light industrial.)

Members of both the Village Council and the Planning Commission met for a joint workshop meeting on Thursday, Feb. 28. After weighing the pros and cons for roughly an hour and a half, a majority of the council members in atten­ dance indicated they would be open to further exploring the possibility of locating establishments within the vil­ lage. If they were to allow recre­ ational marijuana businesses in the community, they also indicated they would proba­ bly re-examine the village's stance on medical marijuana facilities. Trustees voted unanimously to prohibit such facilities back in December 2017. Similar to the way the Medical Marihuana Facilities Licensing Act of 2016 out­ lines different types of facili­ ties that may be licensed by u If this conversation was five years ago, it’d be a no-brainer: we would all vote no, totally against marijuana.

Ash Wednesday marks the first day of Lent, “a time of repentance, fasting and preparation for the coming of Easter,” according to the United Methodist Church. The first day of Lent became known as “Ash Wednesday” due to the repentance ashes that are placed on the heads of those who receive them.

Around the world, special events will celebrate the cultural, social, political and economic achievements of women. However, this last area - economic progress is one that still causes con­ cern, and rightfully so, because women still face gender-related challenges. How can you deal with them? To begin with, you need to recognize the nature of these challenges. While many fac­ tors are actually responsible for women facing more economic pressure than men, two stand out in particular: • Gender wage gap - It’s still around, despite some progress toward equality. The U.S. Census Bureau has found that full-time, yearround working women earn about 80% of what their male counterparts earn. Other studies show a slightly smaller gap. • Caregiving responsibilities - Women typically take more time away from the workforce than men, both to raise children and then, later in life, to take care of aging parents. These absences can result in lost wages, lower Social Security benefits and fewer contributions to 401 (k) and similar retirement plans. So, given these realities, what can you do to improve your own financial outlook? Here are a few suggestions: • Increase your contribu­ tions to your retirement plan. Every time your salary goes up, increase the amount you contribute to your 401 (k) or similar retirement plan. At a minimum, put in enough to earn your employer’s match, if one is offered. These plans offer potential tax-deferred earnings, and since your con­ tributions are typically made with pre-tax dollars, the more you put in, the lower your taxable income. • Invest for growth. Some studies show that men may invest more aggressively than women - though not necessarily more successful­ ly. However, while you do need to invest wisely, you can’t ignore the need for growth. vuudu^utiuij, Consequently, jvru you givwui. should consider including a reasonable percentage of growth-oriented investments in your retirement and other investment accounts,J with the precise amount depending on your individual goals, risk tolerance and time hori­ zon. • Look for income even while serving as caregiver. Of course, you may never become the primary caregiv­ er for your elderly parents but even if you do, it doesn't necessarily follow that you must forego all earned income. If it’s possible, you could seek to go part-time at your current job, or request some type of telecommuting arrangement. And as long as you have some earned income, from somewhere, you can still contribute to an IRA. • Manage retirement plan withdrawals carefully. Once you're retired, possibly to become a full-time caregiver, you can take penalty-free - Food Preparation items, antiques, new items from local vendors. f Re-Do Your Home For Less! 9980 Cherry Valley, Caledonia 49316 On the corner of M-37 ond 100th Street Mon.-Fri. 8:30am-6pm and Sat. 8:30am-2pm 616.891.0303 (ollllllt WWW.MAYNARDSWATERCONDmONING.COM J r New Items Added Weekly Set our Facebook page for weekly specials.

Submitted by Sharon Olson, Clerk Daegan Mix, Brad Gagnon, Jacob Miller and coach son Bultema's Hunter Bultema presented Tyler with some parting gifts - a Spider-Man kickboard, a red pool noodle, a small life vest, and an engraved watch that read, “Swim fast, not half fast.” “For a few weeks I was thinking I kind of want to do something for his retirement, his last meet has to be spe­ cial," Mix said. “Because he spent so much time on us, I figured we'd give him his own time on the podium and make his day special too. Then I got the idea to get all the swimmers together, all the old alumni guys, and see what we could do. We all pitched in." Hunter shared the idea for the engraving, words he'd heard his father say time and again, according to Mix. “It was a nice way to go. I held it together," coach Bultema said. The Wildcats on the pool deck didn't hold it together as the final leg of the final race of the day was finishing up, leaping, shouting and hugging. Wayland didn't put its best effort forth in the preliminary heats of the 400 free relay Friday in Hastings, putting the Wildcats in lane seven for the final race of the day, with Ottawa Hills and CLS the top two seeds in Saturday’s final in the mid­ dle of the pool. The Wayland team of Jordan Sopjes, Caleb Wolf, Cooper Sidebotham and Rory Bessinger couldn’t quite keep pace with the Bengal foursome that won the race in 3 minutes 24.27 seconds, but did manage to fend off the CLS team of Zach Burghgraef, Emmet Schmehling, Zach Logan and Ty Dykhouse that placed third in 3:27.84. The CLS boys needed to win, or finish two spots better than Wayland in that final race to clinch an undisputed confer­ ence championship. The Wildcats' stopped the clock with Bessinger touching the wall in 3:25.40. The Wildcats closed out the day with 450 points, ahead of CLS 444, Ottawa Hills 431, Delton Kellogg/ Thornapple Kellogg/ Hastings 220, Muskegon Mona Shores Co-op 211 and Grand Rapids Union 184. “The boys did incredible,’’ CLS head coach Trcnten Babcock said. “1 knew it was going to be a tight meet going in. Wayland was really good. They did awesome at this meet. I was really pleased to be co-champions with them. I told my boys that they outclassed all of my expectations and I couldn't have asked for a better bunch. They did really well." The CLS boys handled the Wildcats in their dual earlier this month thanks in part to their depth. On Saturday, CLS had eight guys earn all-conference honors, all-conference Wayland had four and Ottawa Hills had five. The Wildcats had the highend speed they needed to accumulate first-place points though, Sopjes, a senior, took the 200-yard freestyle in 1:46.13 - meeting the DI state quali­ fying time. And also met the DI state qualifying mark in winning the 100-yard butter­ fly in 52.04. A false start in the B' final of that 100-yard butterfly may have been the difference between a Wayland and CLS win Saturday. another Bessinger, Wayland senior, met the D2 state qualifying time in win­ ning the 200-yard individual medley in 2:02.48.

On the table, initially, was a proposal from national­ ly-recognized risk manage­ ment consultant Lexipol to assist the Caledonia Township Fire Department in developing a state-specific manual of policies and pro­ cedures consistent with the latest state laws which also could be used as a training guideline for present and future employees. “Our current policy manu­ al is adapted from a 1994 manual used by the Rochester Hills Fire Department,” Fire Chief Scott Siler told board members, citing the common practice of most municipal fire departments to share risk management guidelines with neighboring departments. “It ends up being a little like the old telephone game where you end up with something different from what was orig­ inally passed along. We just can’t base our procedures on something that’s not accu­ rate." Trustees expressed skepti­ cism about Lexipol’s pro- liv ba sriW lorl noqzoi posed price, especially a web-based add-on, but became more amenable when Capt. Kyle Fennel explained that the base price quoted would be effective for one year. That one-year com­ mitment would include what he said would be a tremen­ dous asset in being able to use Lexipofs online presence to digitally provide local firefighters the latest law change updates and an informative, weekly training bulletins. “We can release policies as they change and we can get confirmation that firefighters have received the information,” Fennel pointed out. “We’ll know that they are being read.” After the one-year introductory period, Fennel told trustees, the contract can be vacated. Though the town­ ship would lose the web­ based communication tool, it would retain all the informa- Middleville takes steps to restrict marijuana businesses Ian Watson srIT Nooiib J 3g£l 1 i»T£( I ‘ vlUi ) 1S3T331 83889JI sdT 03 sdt HO12234 1 jhsM lionuo □ I bolu oloriW ibiM isrtlo d । aritsdw I ism 1b Msioqo OJ ,831 r woIIb isnieud ;IiiV □qmoT Caledonia Fire Department Chief Scott Siler (center) with two new full-time firefighters: Brad Bender (left) and Mitch Ellis. (Photo by Doug VanderLaan Contributing Writer The Middleville Council directed village staff and vil­ lage legal council to be pre­ pared for the council to offi­ cially “opt-out" of allowing recreational marijuana busi­ nesses in the near future. The decision came after the council held a closed session with its attorney, Mark Nettleton, during the council’s regularly-sched­ uled Committee of the Whole meeting on Feb. 6. Middleville, like every other municipality in the state, has the right to choose whether to allow recreation­ al marijuana businesses to operate within its boundar­ ies, to “opt-in", or to not allow recreational marijuana businesses by “opting-out." Village President ProTempore, Sherry Ronning, made the motion that direct­ ed village staff and legal services to prepare the vil­ lage to “opt-out.” When asked what drove her decision, Ronning responded that the village • • “really wants to see [the but, because of the nature of State] regulations” in place the repair, held the official before the village decides to vote during the COW meet­ allow recreational marijuana ing in order for repairs to begin as soon as possible. businesses.

Trustees approved the $2,778 Lexipol contract pro­ posal on a 4-3 vote with Supervisor Bryan Harrison, Treasurer Richard Robinson, and trustees Tim Bradshaw and Dale Hermenet provid­ ing the assenting votes. Discussion on policies and procedures extended to a couple of other agenda items where trustees - like the fire­ generally fighters expressed the hope for some guidelines. One came in a contentious discussion that preceded a 4-3 vote to award Copper Rock Construction of Grand Rapids a $1.3 million contract to develop land near the Caledonia Public Library for the new Community Green recreation area. Though the bid from Copper Rock was lower than that of Caledoniabased FCC, Inc. - by just $200 - some trustees were reluctant to pass over a local company that is invested in the community. “A $200 difference on a $1.3 million bid is materially insignificant," Robertson said. “We encourage people to invest in our community and, in return, they ought to be recognized. This is not just about how much a company pays in taxes in a com- munity. When student fundraising groups like the yearbook need money, who do they go to? The local businesses. I do think consider­ ation must be given to those who've invested in our com­ munity.” FFC, Inc. owner and pres­ ident Bryne Harmon was unable to overcome the bar­ rage of criticism from a majority of trustees still stinging about the design dif­ ficulties at the Caledonia Public Library, an FFC, Inc. project, “I’m all about local," Hermenet told Harmon, “but I haven’t heard too many positives about the air conditioning system at the library." Trustee Greg Zoller stated that an additional $100,000 has been spent on repairing and replacing the system while charging that “your superintendent was less than My position is helpful. that this is not real comfortable.” Harmon contended that the difficulties encountered were due to design flaws over which his company had no control. Built to architec­ tural standards as a LEEDcertified building, the library could not benefit from the advice that Harmon offered as the construction contrac- See TO WNSHIP, pg. 2 Caledonia rolls well in state robotics competition Four high school teams and another from Kraft Meadows Middle School represented the area well in state competitions held at Michigan State University on Feb. 24 and at Monroe Community College on March 2.

The four teams from Caledonia Robotics, in its third year of VEX Robotics competition, represented the third highest in attendance.

Harrison expressed under­ standing and an apparent wish that there had been a process in place for the situa­ tion. “If we decide to keep it fair, we’ve got to make the process objective,” Harrison observed. “Maybe we could put on the bid card the amount of taxes a company pays or the number of com­ pany employees residing in Caledonia.” For his part. Copper Rock President Dean Rosendall said he did make an attempt to share a portion of the proj­ ect with Harmon and FFC, Inc. “I called Byrne and offered him to do the excavating, but he turned it down.” Rosendall said. “I wanted to share it a bit. . . 1 know they’re the home team, but we were the low bidder. We won the game, fair and square.** On a 4-3 vote to approve Copper Rock, Zoller, Bradshaw, Snoeyink and Township Clerk Jennifer Venema voted for the action; Harrison, Hermanet and Robinson opposed it. Not having policies and procedures on the third chailenge proved equally vexing, but also provided a bit of humor for the night when Venema called the board’s need to amend employee per­ sonnel policy to address the new state law legalizing recreational marijuana, “Basically there are three options,” said Venema, out­ lining a case for a policy of zero tolerance, to consider it a prohibitive substance or treat it as alcohol is handled. “We have to decide which one we want to place into the personnel policy.” When asked by Hermenet how surrounding townships were handling the issue, Venema responded, “This is a new one for all of us.** I hat quickly became apparent as trustees played out a variety of scenarios. “If we go to zero .toler­ ance, could an employee get a prescription as treatment for pain?” asked Robertson. Concern was also expressed about how far the personnel policy would extend - to part-timers and hired tempo­ rary workers? “Remember,” cracked FABULOUS FINDS RESALE SHOP Come explore our a HUGE RED TAG SALE!

She asked for suggestions to keep her from buying snacks and avoiding triggers that would cause her to binge. Many suggestions were given, such as exercising during com­ mercials to keep from going to get food. Another was hav­ ing different types of snacks that would be healthier alter­ natives.

The two are pleasant­ ly surprised by the arrival of the magical Mar}' Poppins and embark on a series of fantastical adventures with Mary and her Cockney per­ former friend, Bert. The musical is directed by Ruthven Jeanette and debuted with its first set of performances last weekend. “We were looking for a family-friendly ensemble show with a good message,” Ruthven said. “Mary Poppins fit those goals.

The production,directed by Laura Nikkei, includes a cast of 45 students, student musicians and many additional students and adults working behind the scenes. “1 picked this musical because I felt that it could really showcase the talent of the TK students,” Laura Nikkei said. “It uses a variety this particular show is completely sung, so there has been a lot of full-cast rehearsals and a lot of learning that needs to take place. Another challenge has been the weather. “This snow has been a challenge for us to actually hold rehearsal,” Nikkei said. “We have had a lot of can­ celled rehearsals.” Nikkei added that the chal­ lenges are teaching students about teamwork, hard work and dedication. “This show also teaches its audience about forgiveness and the importance of family,” she said. “It is a family friendly show that has some­ thing for everyone.” Performances are March 7, 8 and 9 at 7 p.m. in the high school's performing arts cen­ ter.

Was the selection process legitimate? Four basic facts that address this issue: 1) A screening subcommittee made up of village residents council members, and staff, chose the four finalists for interviews with the full coun­ cil; 2) The village president was not one of the four selected; 3) After failed negations with preferred can­ didates, the idea to reconsid­ er the president’s candidacy for village manager was dis­ cussed in a public meeting; 4) This discussion did not advance to a motion from any council member. As such, the village council has taken no action that would overturn the screening com­ mittee’s decision regarding the village president’s application, Does village government provide sufficient value to justify its cost? Only regis­ tered voters in the village determine and should be making this determination, Recent weather conditions reinforced village plowing capabilities - full reliance on Kent County would significandy lengthen response times. The township should be commended for the signifi­ cant investments it has made on projects in or around the village - the most recent of which is the new Community Green project adjacent to the library. The village will be making a $l00,000-plus investment of its own to improve traffic flow and pedestrian safety around this 1 working relationship is an the entire expectation Caledonia community should always demand of every elected representative. Does the township basically provides all major public services because the village has shed most of its former responsibilities over time? The village did enter into a joint utility agreement with the township - with the township handling virtually all day-to-day administrative duties. The predominant additional demands on the local utilities will be from the township as the village is nearing fully-developed status. The township has an enormous amount of growth yet to occur. This change in utility administration just makes practical sense and is in the best interests of all parties involved. The Feb. 22 letter does raise confusion as to why the author felt compelled to advocate for an issue he can­ not vote on and the alleged waste of tax monies he doesn’t pay. Furthermore accurate representation of the facts has, hopefully, assisted our community members in having a better understand­ ing of these issues. If a consolidation of local govern­ ment units does reappear for a public vote, we have every confidence that Caledonia voters will make an informed decision based on accurate facts and with the best inter­ ests of our community in mind. We encourage all residents to attend our monthly village meetings, the second Monday of the month at 7 p.m., at the Village Hall, and take part in the decision-mak­ ing process.

Brown had the early lead in that match, putting Wright on his back momentarily in the first period for a 4-0 lead. Wright went into the bottom position in the second period, hoping to chip away at the deficit. “We were fortunate to have a couple of stoppages with blood time in the pretty key second period. It was as lot of ten seconds and stop, ten seconds and stop,” TK head coach Scott Szczepanek said. “We had a scenario where Christian got up to his feet, nearly scored an escape and we kind of noticed that his opponent would kind of go to the same thing to get him back down to the mat. Right after that unfolded one time there was another blood stoppage. The situation was going to come right back up. While they were cleaning up the blood, I told Christian let’s anticipate this and as you get up to your feet let’s anticipate him coming in with a lot of pressure. “That is when he was able VIE5MANN to capture it and throw the kid to his back.

Brown evened the match with an early reversal in the third period, but Wright picked up a penalty point midway through the third and worked on the bottom until the clock expired. Wright had already scored one big win at the tourna­ ment, opening action Friday with a 59 second pin of Allen Park senior Steven McCoy, who was a regional champi­ on. 44 Three out of the four kids from Christian’s region ended up all-state, one of them in the finals, one of them at fourth place and then Christian obviously at sixth place,” Szczepanek said. “It was a deep region. I talked pretty much for the first week after regionals how much of a wild card he could be and how he could be in a position to catch someone off guard in the first round - which he did. “It wasn’t a fluke where he caught somebody flat-footed, He put a solid turn on him and didn't give him any room to breathe cominI­ off his back and finished it.” Cooper edged Wright 5-3 in overtime in their consola­ tion semifinal match-up Saturday, and then Brown got the best of Wright 11 -2 in the match for fifth place. Wright is the Trojans’ first state medalist since 2015, and he and senior teammates Trenton Dutcher and Nathan Kinne were their program’s first state qualifiers since then. The weekend felt very significant to Szczepanek. “It is not just that they hadn’t been here before, but going back to their freshman year they hadn’t been on a team that has had someone who has broken through that glass ceiling for them before, So. not just for Christian per­ sonally to finish all-state and for Trenten and Nate to finish at the state tournament which were goals of theirs, they brought five teammates with them a handful of which arc back on the team. They now have experience wrestling with state qualifiers and all­ staters. They take that back into our room. Those arc important things for a team and a program at large. “I hope to build on it. They all have a teammate that was in the semifinals, on a bigger stage. They’re awesome accomplishments for the individuals, and they’re so big for a program, a school and a community too.” Dutcher scored one win at the tournament, topping Ferndale’s Jorian Belton 6-2 in the opening round of con solation. He fell 3-1 in over­ time to Holly's Blake Qucrio in the opening round at 285 pounds Friday. I swell's Tyler Delooff ended De I ooff Dutcher's tournament with a 6-0 win in the second round of consolation. Kinne was downed by Eaton Rapids’ Hayden Campbell and Linden’s Caleb White in his two bouts.

Senior goalkeeper Davis Ziesmer took more than a few seconds to rise up off the ice back onto his skates in his crease. A few seconds was all that was left of the LCTK varsity hockey season after Capital City Capitals senior Derek Hamp stuffed the game-win­ ning goal by Ziesemer with 6.2 seconds left to play in Saturday evening's Division 1 Regional Final at The Summit in Dimondale. The Capitals, the DeWitt, St. John’s, Lansing Catholic, DeWitt, Mason co-op, earned a spot in the state quarterfi­ nals a 3-2 victory. Nolan LCTK senior Lockhart, on the left side of the night, deflected in a shot that came from near right point with 5:18 to go in the third period to tie the game at 2-2 on a power play. Teammates Ian Milton and Hunter Fridley, a pair of seniors, were credited with assists on the goal. The Capitals had held a 2-1 lead for more than 15 minutes of ice time before Lockhart’s goal knotted the game. The two teams were back and forth all evening, with the Capitals jumping ahead 1-0 in the first period only to be answered by LCTK early in the second. The Capitals took the lead back with three and a half minutes to go in the second period, The final three goals of the game all came on a power play. LCTK senior Ethan Green was sent to the box for interference with 1:52 to go in regulation. Cameron Van Tighem led the Capitals' attack in the closing minutes, firing a few pucks on net. Tighem blast­ ed a hard shot from low on the left side as the clock ticked under ten seconds to play. Lockhart blasted him, but Hamp snuck in from the comer to grab the rebound just to Ziesmer's right. Hamp swung the puck over to the front of the net and stuck it past the LCTK keeper with a backhand sweep, Ziesmer had made 25 saves to that point. Hamp threw his arms in the air, then turned and sprinted for his bench stumbling as he tried to move faster than his skates could carry him. He wound up under a pile of his teammates.

TK couldn’t extend its season from there though, falling 60-41 to the Colts. VanStee matched her varsity high with 26 points to lead the Trojans on the score board in the win over Otsego Monday, but it took a little bit of everything from every­ one on the Trojan roster to get by the Bulldogs. “I'm emotional just because I love playing with these girls,” VanStee said. It all started in the second half forTK with some hustle on the offensive glass, which led to as bucket by senior guard Terryn Cross with 5:12 to go in the third quarter, Otsego’s Regan Berg stepped over the end line while inbounding the basketball, and TK turned the ensuing possession into a triple by VanStee. Suddenly a 14-point Bulldog lead was down to single digits. Otsego called a time out. ci We talked (at halftime) about that obviously it was _going _ to start by_ _.getting _ stops . and that we needed to finish better around the rim,” TK head coach Ross Lambitz said. “15 points in the first half obviously wasn't going to get it done. We felt like when we were able to get back on D in the first half we did a pretty good job of get­ ting those stops.” “Give our girls so much credit for just having the composure to get back and get the stops that they need­ ed. Then Paige knocked down a couple pretty big tri­ ples.” He said getting to look up at the scoreboard and see the deficit down to nine points was huge his girls' psyche. “It wasn wasn't ’t just one. Obviously, Paige did a ton on both ends of the floor and offensively got us really going. It was a team effort. It was Maddie Hess getting in foul trouble and Carmen Beemer coming in and front­ ing the post like she did and those two baskets she hit Savannah Bronkema came in and played phenomenal defense on their point guard, pressuring her and making • « • them them uncomfortable. uncomfortable. That That isis what we talked about. We needed them to be uncom­ fortable in their offense.” Hess and Cross hit the offensive glass hard, with VanStee and Bronkema throughout the run. VanStee hit another triple, drove for a bucket, and then interrupted a shot by Berg at the rim on the other end. With „just over two minutes to go in the third quarter, VanStee drove down the right side of the lane, forcing the the defender defender in in front front of of her her to to hesitate hesitate with with aa quick quick glance glance away away and and then then stepping stepping around for basket that got TK within 31-29. A steal by Cross led to a pull-up jumper in the lane by senior guard Shylin Robirds that tied the game at 31-31 with 1:43 to go in the third quarter. Half a minute later, Robirds hit a nearly identical shot to put TK in front 33-31. Otsego called another time out. TK led the rest of the ball­ game. Lambitz said he had hoped to see his girls cut the Bulldog lead down to six or seven points by the start of the fourth quarter. Instead, the Trojans led by two points, Bronkema and fellow Claudia guard junior Wilkinson came up huge in the run as well, both on the offensive and defensive ends of the floor for the Trojans. Wilkinson finished the night with nine points. Bronkema did everything but score for her team. The two would eventually get to share a happy hug at the end of the bench after both fouled out late in the fourth quarter. Hess had to battle foul trouble throughout the night too for the Trojans. Otsego struggled to find any kind of offensive rhythm in the second half, after sue ceeding a lot in transition in the first half. A few too many times Bulldogs tried to force a drive on their own rather than working through things that had helped them build their lead when things were going well - which must have seemed like a long time ago to the Bulldogs. Beemer eventually buried a shot to put TK ahead 39-31 with 6:07 to go in the fourth quarter. Otsego senior center Mattison Rayman, who will play collegiately at Lake Superior State University next season, finally knocked down the back end of a pair of free throws to score her team's first point since the opening moments of the second half. There were only five and a half minutes to play. Rayman finished with a team-high 21 points for the Bulldogs - 13 of those com­ ing in the final 5:34 of the bailgame. She didn’t want her season to end either.

A shot for TK by Hess wouldn’t fall, but enough time went off the clock that the Bulldogs were only able to add a basket by Rayman, when they needed two, as the buzzer sounded. It was the 11th victory of the season for the TK ladies. The Bulldogs end the year at 16-5. “We have really good teams in our conference,” VanStee said. “That was an amazing (Otsego) team.

(Photos provided) B I Contributing Writer A six-year battle to get the current Veterans Memorial built and ready for a May 26 dedication at the Yankee Springs Township fire station continued this week. The latest skirmish in the ongoing spat took place at Thursday’s township board meeting and resulted in little more than each side solidify­ ing its position. On one side stand who want to continue the project and, on the other side, those who also value the effort but want a defined plan in place for the project to ensure the work is done well. “I’ve said from the beginning, bring a saw, a shovel or a hammer, or get out of the way.” Supervisor Mark Englerth said during the fray, “I’m a little disappointed for the people who’ve carried the load. One, we got the site set, we put the monument up, and we brought the board out there.” Though Englerth said after Thursday's meeting that not all board members even bothered to make the site visit, if they had they would have seen the progress and . evidence of the “heavy lift­ ing” that still needs to be done. Planning stakes mark the 60-foot radius of the design and yards of top dirt await finished landscaping. All has been accomplished through the donations of time, labor, and materials by a long list of volunteers rang­ ing from excavators, cement contractors, fund-raising benefit auctioneers, and cash donors who resident Ron Heilman named during the meeting’s public comment period. - 4 • • fi % < • t 1 4 > * * ' 1 •< '1*4 I ■ • < ’ I I I I i If « * Kt * f j >» > > I A * I * > fl tf t > x I > I < A .it * 4 4 * i * < * < I * * j > K .11 •> f W < > I “With just those on this list, list, we we’’ve ve saved saved approxi approxi­ mately $5,200, $5,200,”” Heilman mately Heilman said, “and that said, doesn’t include the the private private donations include donations of materials and time.

DEQ investigates another Coldwater River watershed manure spill Middleville council renews contract with waste hauler Jan Watson Contributing Writer The Middleville Village Council approved a five-year extension to the contract with the village’s waste hauler, Republic Services, during the council’s March 12 meeting. The extension was approved by a 5-0 roll call vote; council members Sherry Ronning and Mike Cramer were absent. Along with a new contract comes new prices for Middleville residents. Residents will be charged $9.29 a month for a 65-gallon waste cart and $11.15 a month for a 95-gallon waste cart. Any residents who choose to participate in recycling pickup will be charged a fee of $4 a month for recycling carts. There will be an annual price increase of 3.5 percent for both waste cart sizes as well as the recycling cart for each following year through 2024. Residents who have already been paying fees for services this year may see an additional bill for the remain­ der of this year when the new contract with Republic Services takes effect, village manager Duane Weeks said. Republic Services has been the village's waste hauler since 2013. In other news, the village approved a new Freedom of Information Act policy that brings thjp( village in line with new statewide FOIA requirements. Public Act 523, approved by the state in January, requires that any individual or group that sub­ mits a FOIA request to a governmental entity in Michigan provide full con­ tact information as well as a monetary good-faith deposit in case the request requires excessive document process­ ing, village Clerk Elaine Denton said. The council approved the resolution, 5-0. The council also unanimously approved a resolution that will serve as an extension to the existing metro act right-of-way permit with AT&T. The existing right-of-way permit allows AT&T to locate, extend and do repairs on its utilities in the village, Weeks said. A third resolution, also unanimously approved by the council, will incorporate Oakhill Court, Oakland Court of of the the Rolling Rolling Oaks Oaks Court subdivision into into the the village village’’ss subdivision street street system. system. ., , A memorandum between Thomapple Township and the the village village of of Middleville Middleville was approved 5-0 by the council to share fees incurred by the MiddlevilleThornapple Joint Planning Area. Weeks provided the coun­ cil with an update on the progress of the committee that is heading up the work on a possible community center for the village. He said committee members had asked him to inquire whether the council would be recep­ tive to allowing the “fourplex’’ building off of River Street, as well as the nearby village-owned acreage to be used in the process of establishing a short-term solution T for a village community center.

The Barry County Sheriff’s Office is participat­ ing in the national Spring Aboard - Take A Boating Education Course campaign. The Spring Aboard campaign encourages boaters to get educated prior to the kick-off of the boating season so they can make the most out of their time on the water. A boating safety course provides critical boating knowledge that anyone who plans to get out on the water should have, and better pre­ pares you for the risks you may face while boating. U.S. Coast Guard statistics indicate that, of the accidents where the level of operator education was known, 81 percent of boating deaths occurred on boats where the boat operator had never received boating education instruction. . . “Education is the key to having a safe and enjoyable day on the water,” Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf said. “Even though the operator has the ultimate responsibility for the safety of the vessel, its crew and passen- i gers, everyone who plans to schedule. by state, federal and nonprof­ be onboard should consider The annual Spring Aboard it partners and is open to taking a boating safety course campaign is led by the participation by all states, to prepare for their time on National Association of State territories, boating education the water.

She said any curriculum concerning repro­ ductive health must have board approval, “Every two years we do a full review,” she said. “There is not a big market for these materials out there, so we are utilizing what we have. This year, there are just three changes we would like to get your vote on.” She went on to explain there was some confusion with the testing-out process for health class, but work has been done to shore it up and all is in place for the next process. She said they also added options to take the health class at other times after eighth grade. The board will vote on the changes to the curriculum at next month’s meeting.

I,: I As you work toward achieving your goals in life, you will need to make moves that contain financial, tax and legal elements, so you may want to get some help from more than one source. Specifically, you might want to put together a team comprised of your financial advisor, your CPA or other tax professional, and your attorney. Together, this team can help you with many types of financial/tax/legal connections. For starters, you may decide, possibly upon the recommendation of your financial advisor, to sell some investments and use the proceeds to buy others that may now be more appropriate for your needs. If you sell some investments you’ve held for a year or less and realize a capital gain on the sale, the gain generally will be considered short-term and be taxed at your ordinary income tax rate, But if you've held the investments for more than a year before selling, your gain will likely be considered long-term and taxed at the lower, long-term capital gains rate, which can be 0%, 15% or 20%, or a combination of those rates. On the other hand, if you sell an investment and realize 3 capital loss, you may be able to apply the loss to offoff­ set gains realized by selling other, more profitable investments and also potentially offset some of your ordinary income. So, as you can see, potentially the questions raised by investment sales “Should I sell?” “If so, when?” “If I take some loss­ es, how much will they bene­ fit me at tax time?” - may also be of importance to your tax advisor, who will need to account for sales in your overall tax picture. As such, it’s a good idea for your tax and financial advisors to communicate about any investment sales you make. Your tax and financial advisors also may want to be in touch on other issues, such as your contributions to a retirement plan. For exampie, if you are self-employed or own a small business, and you contribute to a SEP-IRA - which is funded with pre­ tax dollars, so the more you contribute, the lower your taxable income - your finan­ cial advisor can report to your tax advisor (with your how much permission) you’ve contributed at given points in a year, and your tax advisor can then let you know how much more you might need to add to move into a lower tax bracket, or at least avoid being bumped up 44 ■M to a higher one. Your financial advisor will be the one to recommend the investments you use to fund your SEPIRA. Your financial advisor can also help you choose the investment or insurance vehicles that can fund an estate-planning arrangement, such as an irrevocable living trust. But to establish that trust in the first place, and to make sure it conforms to all applicable laws, you will want to work with an attorney experienced in planning estates. Your tax professional may also need to be brought in. Again, communication between your various advisors is essential, These are but a few of the instances in which your financial, tax and legal pro- jj.. fessionals should talk to each | other. So, do what you can | to open these lines of com­ munication - because you'll ♦t4. be one who ultimately bene­ fits from this teamwork.

How many flag poles are we going to have? People keep asking me if something was approved and don’t have a plan.” At the March 2 meeting. Knowles also mentioned that he can find no record of a project budget, either. “This thing never had a devised plan, it’s moved and it’s evolved ” Englerth said of the idea that came together, in part, through the inspiration of the late township constable and Barry County Undersheriff Jim Orr, who 2016. “What we, died in 2016. what Jim Orr, envisioned may not be what we have today, but what we do have we should be proud of. “Even when you have a good idea, other options sometimes For sometimes appear.appear. 41 NOW HIRING!

I hope it gets added to every year - I hope in 10 to 20 years there are more park benches and that there’ll be even more landscaping. In an effort to answer the call for a defined plan, Englerth presented three pro­ posal illustrations from Patten Monument on lettering for the back of the monument. Each is priced at $7,300 and range from a quote by Abraham Lincoln to simple messages asking for God’s blessing on veterans Also and on America, included in Englerth’s sub­ mission of 23 names of veterans already purchased for placement. Englerth counseled that discord should not reflect on the patriotic purpose of the project. “We are blessed with how society reflects respect for our veterans,” Englerth said. “Now you’re seeing veterans memorials springing up in every community and it’s setting a precedent for our young people.” That wasn’t enough to mollify thoughts about the lack of a plan, however, for one township resident who shouted his objections midboard discussion from the back of the room. “Is government supposed to follow the same rules it sets for its citizens?” asked Bruce Campbell. “If I have a project on my property, I have to have a site plan designed and then approved before I can begin the proj­ ect.” Trustee For Shanon VandenBerg, the rancor became overwhelming.

Miller said, adding that he's not aware of any line collapsing like that in the past. He speculated that the place where the sewer main collapsed was possibly where, in the past, someone had hooked in, cracked the clay pipe and it finally just gave way. “The DEQ has been alerted and the correct paperwork filled out," Miller said. “It's back to life as normal." Director of Public Works Alex Belson said separa­ tion is maintained between the water and sewer lines to prevent contamination in the case of a break. The water main is also Tanett Hodge *> L* 1 Sewer main breaks in Middleville In addition, TKHS senior Turner Halle completed his term as a state officer at the convention. He gave speech­ es and helped with awards during the event, Staff Writer A sewer main on State Street in Middleville col­ lapsed Saturday night, sending t> sewage out onto the road through the man­ holes. Raw, untreated wastewa­ ter entered the village e> storm sewer and eventually made its way into the Thomapple River. Village waste water treatment plant operator Charlie Miller estimated that about 5,000 gallons of untreated waste­ water escaped the line. The old clay tile pipe was too deep to be dug up by village crews, so the village contracted a compa­ ny from Grand Rapids to use a vacuum truck to clean out the manhole. “We started working on it Saturday evening," Miller said, “and realized we needed some help. The Sue Van Liere Contributing Writer Village Caledonina Council members voted unanimously to hire former City of Holland manager, Ryan Cotton to take on the role of interim village man­ ager, beginning in early April. Cotton will serve in the role on a part-time basis until a permanent manager is hired. Current village manager Sandy Stelma, who will retire May 1, introduced Cotton to the council and community members during Monday’s village council meeting. Cotton has 35 years of local government manage­ ment experience, including as Spring Lake village man­ ager, Grand Haven city manager and most recently city manager in Holland. “I am partially retired. I emphasize partly, because I enjoy this, I’ve always enjoyed it,” Cotton said. “What I heard tonight about some of the things you've been working on - it's the kind of stuff that makes me tick.” Trustee Jennifer Lindsey asked Cotton how he would handle the transition. m3 nuoD menu yiiD 3 SlO!

Any staff that have burning needs, I want to spend time with them and understand exactly how I can add value.” In other business, the council voted unanimously to accept a purchase offer of $ 1 per square foot from Caledonia Farmers Elevator for a parcel of village-owned property northwest of the department of public works property. The council unanimously passed a resolution to establish a request for funding to implement a maintenance program for reconstruction of South Rodgers Court. According to village engi­ neer Jon Moxey, the application for $150,000 in fund­ ing through MDOT from the Transportation Economic Development Fund Category B program fund­ ing will be submitted in April with award announce­ ments expected sometime in May. 1Caledonia Township trea- surer Dr. Richard Robertson updated the council on improvements needed at the wastewater treatment plant. Robertson said plans are underway to convert the plant from a groundwater to a surface water discharge technology. The plant is currently running near capacity. _ In order to accommodate additional connections, the capacity must be expanded from 500,000 to 750,000 gallons of water per day, with an estimated cost of $5.5 million. Robertson reported the township has approved funding through a state revolving fund grant, which is a 2 percent, 20-year bond that will offer a sav­ ings of almost $1 million in interest over other funding options,, Phil Fricano, owner of restaurant, Fricano’s addressed the board with concerns about an oversized dumpster located in the rear alleyway behind his restau­ rant. He said the dumpster is an eyesore, takes up parking spots and makes it difficult for snow plows to navigate the alley. After discussion, a solution to downsize and move the dumpster was agreed upon and the village pressurized at 40-70 [pounds per square inch] so that it is constantly pushing out and nothing can get into it," Belson said. “This was considered a small scale spill," Derrick Simmons of the state Department of Quality Environmental said, “and it should have had a minimal adverse impact on the environment or aquatic life. “It should also have a minimal impact on human health from a direct body contact standpoint durin o this time of the year, due to limited fishing, boating and swimming activities.” Simmons said that with water levels as high as they are right now, this slower release spill would have been quickly diluted and dispersed into the large body of water in making its way downstream. 41 Making Monday’s tap dance especially tentative were the perpetual estima­ tions surrounding upcoming student enrollment numbers, increasing operational expenditures, and as-yet unknown changes to the state’s founda­ tion grant for each district student. In the current fiscal year, Caledonia had to balance a $54 million budget by dipping into its fund balance for a $505,435 draw, while still being able to maintain $9.5 million in reserve. An enrollment dip of six students in the current year, though, combined with the addition of three new buildings since 2012 and the pressure of increasing instructional and operational expenses have an impact on future budgets. “Our revenues are just not keeping up with our expenses,” Devries told board mem- chart a precarious path through an annual budget jam that every public school district is struggling with this time of year. “These may be worst-case scenarios but, at the same time, we want ta be realis­ tic," Superintendent Dedrick Martin said following a redand debit-filled preliminary look at the 2019-20 budget. Though the new budget won’t need formal sign-off until the state-mandated 30, deadline of June Monday’s presentation by district Finance Director Sara Devries was drawn up to alert board members to the challenges that await them. “We want to give the board multiple looks before [the June 30 deadline],” Martin added. “Certainly, there are things we might be able to decrease, but there are things, hopefully, we might be able to add, too. We just don't want to surprise anyone." Doug VanderLaan Contributing Writer School board members in Caledonia are starting to will work on this in conjunction with Fricano. Village residents Ben Howell and Gerrianne Shuler expressed concerns about possible loss of trees that would result from paving 100th Street east of M-37. Township treasurer Robertson provided input from a meeting the township had with representatives from Kent County. “We met with them and expressed our concerns about the loss of trees and increased speeds," Robertson said. “We almost pleaded with them to depart from their hardline policies to take out those trees. We came to an agreement. Because the actual right of way is not exactly centered on the road as it exists right now, they were going to come out and stake the road at 100th Street so we know exactly which trees are at risk.” Robertson said paving has been a concern among residents for almost 20 years because of the potential loss of trees. The next village council meeting will be Monday, April 8, at 7 p.m. < < < 1 1 i I I t See BUDGET, page 3 • TKHS essayists tackle local issues that need attention • TK OM teams advance to World Finals • Trojans take to the track at Grand Valley State University • Caledonia girls open spring with loss to visiting Eagles ♦ I I I ( I I 4 I b ’ I * I 4 » ♦ i 1 > ♦ I 4 J I V V ■» I f I 9 ■ 1 I I In This Issue... » I f Caledonia board looks for anchor points in budget planning Caledonia hires interim village manager k I - I: va2 > rigiH eel ba gatoVI 143rd year 1351 N.

Retired Capt. Bill Johnson has been teaching boater safety classes for 41 years. Johnson and Sgt. Jason Sixberry conduct­ ed their yearly, week-long class to inform the students about boating rules and expectations. Sheriff's office staff believes it to be important to provide an introductory course to meet the boater education needs of recre­ ational boaters because of the many bodies of water in Barry County. “Children are often around water and marine craft at an early age around here,” Johnson said. “So, the marine division of the sheriff's office Bill Johnson plays the part of a drowning person when makes this class available to hopeful rescuer, Emma Dykhouse, tries to save him. a11 sixth £rade c,asses in the county once a year, to teach The students learned to never swim out to a conscious them to be safe on and around person and try to help by grabbing them. the water.” Doni Be Slow, It Cannot Wait, If You Don’t ORDER NOW, You’ll Be Too LATE JANUARY ~P JRKuary MARCH • 1/2 PIG - $199 Local Farm Raised Out the door, ready for freezer (about 100 lbs hanging wt) ■ WHOLE PIG - $379 (about 200 lbs hanging wt) ...

Bill Johnson informs the students about the different types of floata­ tion devices available and what is required. “At their age, they have to have certification to drive any boat over 6 horsepower," Johnson said. He said that he has taught boater safety to more than 30,(XX) kids since 1978. He was formerly a teacher before becoming a law enforcement officer. Students attend this class one period of the day each day for a week. They receive a manual to study from and with which to follow along and are expected to attend all five sessions. At the end of the week, students are given a certification exam. If they pass, they are given an offi- cial boating safety certifica­ tion card from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. “I would strongly recom­ mend that anyone that spends time on the water take this class and get the certification," Johnson said. Sgt. Julie Jones, Barry County Sheriff's Marine Division said that if someone does not know what a standon or give-way vessel is, they should take a boating safety class or visit the Boat-ed. com site. On that website, people can sign up to re-educate or refresh their memory on boating laws. The Boat- Ed site can be used for free information until the person wants to obtain the boating safety card. If one takes the test and gets a card online, the cost is $29.99 per stu­ dent. However, the sheriff’s office offers the class for free every year for anyone who wants to attend. The Barry County Sheriff's Office will be offer­ ing this free one day class at Shady Shores Resort, Gun Lake, on the last Saturday in June. Details are on the Boat­ Ed website.

"We’re going to have to con­ tinue to re-forecast overtime, that’s just the reality of K-12 education today. Board members got a feel for that reality in contemplat­ ing the difficulties of predict­ ing student enrollment num­ bers, a building block for stable and soundly financed districts. Following Devries' obser­ vation that, across the state, birth rates have declined, that Kent County's birth rate is considerably lower than the state average, and that Caledonia’s birth rate is even below that of the county, dis­ cussion turned to the relation of new housing starts to pos­ sible student enrollment increases. Board member Bill Donahue noted, however, that housing starts may not necessarily be an indicator of student enrollment growth. "Housing data shows that we’re more a second- and third-time home buyer com­ munity,” Donahue said, acknowledging that those buyers may not necessarily be parents with young chil­ dren. "I’d like to see the growth data from the last eight to 10 years. Does it show a trend?” "We can tell you the num­ ber of housing starts, but when a developer is finished and when people move in we can't predict," Martin said. "We will see some growth over time - it's not all a bad picture. I just don’t think the growth will be organic in other words from students that start at early childhood and finish high school. "As a new resident, I'm a good example: I moved in with a middle schooler and a high schooler, which just makes growth more difficult to deal with because you don’t know at what level it might occur.” That point was personally confirmed by board member Kyle Clement who noted booming numbers in the dis­ trict's early childhood educa­ tion program. He said he wondered if that occurrence wouldn’t be an indication of future student enrollment growth, "We don't have enough space to house all those families wanting their children to be in the early childhood program,” Martin said, said "so it’s not a one-to-one correlation to an incoming kindergarten class.” Adding to the difficulty is that, over past years, the number of incoming kindergartners is declining in num­ ber compared to the number of seniors crossing the stage each spring during graduation. Martin did suggest that ***' I • •Mik opening space for out-of-district students to attend under the state's Schools of Choice option could be one of several ways to avoid "dramatic cuts." He added that addi­ tional revenue coming with higher student enrollment would not alleviate opera­ tional and maintenance con­ cerns that the district must address. This district is very’ fortu­ nate to have a fund balance that we can take from, Martin said after Monday's meeting. "But we can't do that long-term. Part of the reason there's a fund balance is because there are some things we haven't taken care of over time - as you saw on the meeting agenda tonight. “We can cut budgets for so long but, at some point, you have to address the issues." The board will discuss the 2019-20 budget as part of a strategic planning board workshop scheduled for May 6. In other business, the board: Approved the $27,042 purchase of a new replace­ ment eight-student van.

March 23. 2019 TK OM teams advance to World Finals Thomapple Kellogg Schools will be represented at the Odyssey of the Mind world finals in Lansing this year by three teams - one team from Page, one from the middle school and one from the high school. Ten TK teams competed Saturday in the state finals in Middleville. Two other teams narrowly missed advancing to the worlds with third place finishes. Only the top two teams in each division advance. The TKHS team of Jacob Maring, Emma Chapman. Grace Densham, Zane Walters, Clair Jansma. Anna Miller and Wyatt Crampton not only placed first in its division, the team also won the coveted Ranatra Fusca Award for creativity. In addition, Crampton was awarded one of the four OM scholar­ ships. In making the announce­ ment of the Ranatra Fusca Award, OM officials said they believed this was the first time a team was nomi­ nated by both the sponta­ neous-problem judges as well as the long-term problem judges. The team also won the Ranatra Fusca Award at the regional event. The award is presented to a team present­ ing exceptional creativity. It is the most coveted of al] OM awards and is given out based on nominations by the judges, Crampton wrote in his OM scholarship application, “Being an introvert, expressing my ideas and thoughts did not always come easy to me. Learning to solve long­ term and spontaneous problems with my team, I now’ understand the importance of speaking up. Now' outside of Odyssey of the Mind, when I work w ith groups, I not only speak up, but 1 take the lead and try to help others that are introverted like me to express their views ” The middle school team advancing to the world finals includes Lee Marentette. Rachel Shoemaker, Sierra Morton, Zach Maring, Kate Baldry and Natalie Alden. The Page Elementary team advancing to the world finals is comprised of Oliver Lietz, Erik Cove, Gracen Rabley, Elise DeBoer, DeBoer, Israel Elise Israel Sherk, Sherk, Carter Curtis Curtis and Carter and Luke Luke Archer. The team ended up in a three-way second-place tie in its division qualifying for advancement to the world finals. Another high school team narrowly missed the world finals but received third- place medals. Team mem­ bers are Aubrey Evans, Christel Hoskins, Kelh Gasser, Brendan Carlson. Michael Brown and Ellie Essenberg. Also receiving third-place medals was the middle school team of Shelby Robinett, Marian Gielincki.

Plus, it will be useful during the winter months when, in the past, the department would have to call in assistance from outside the depart­ ment. In fact, according to Miller, the department’s Mule is the government-owned only vehicle in Barry County that is equipped with tracks. At the time the request was made, some concerns were expressed by Yankee Springs Township board members that the fire department should purchase the least expensive tracks. The tracks were bought from Harrison’s Marine Gun Lake Kawasaki. Miller said he hopes those concerns have now been alle­ viated because Harrison’s actually did offer the lowest price when the fee for the installation of the tracks was included. Harrison’s was the only retailer offering below $5,500, which was important, Miller said, because the price limit set by the Yankee Springs Township board was $5,479. . The fire station is a joint venture between Yankee Springs and Wayland. Ian Watson -:S.“ r I* 0‘ I I I Contributing Writer Yankee Springs The Township Fire Station’s Kawasaki Mule may look new, but actually it’s the same 2009 model with four shiny new tracks instead of wheels. During the township monthly meeting in February, the board of trustees approved the purchase of four tracks to replace the wheels on the vehicle. Installing treads on the station’s Mule allows the fire department to use the vehicle all year round. Prior to the installation of the tracks, the Mule could be used for about eight to nine months out of the year, depending on the weather, according to Deputy Fire Chief Dan Miller. Miller, who oversees oper­ ations at the fire station at 1425 S. Payne Lake Road, said he’s happy to have the tracks on the Mule and feels fortunate that they’ll be able to use it more often to help more people. When the department responds to emergencies in the recreational territory around Yankee Springs, even during the spring and sum­ mer months, accessing the trails can be difficult, he pointed out.

Investigating the store, he heard soft moaning coming from a comer on the porch. He discovered the noise was a big old sleeping yellow dog. As the man watched, the dog would wig­ gle slightly, but then settle back into its sleep and con­ tinue to moan. Caledonia Village trustees Eric Van Gessel and Jennifer Lindsey challenged my vil­ lage government comments suggesting I’m irrelevant because (1) I am a township, not a village, resident, (2) I cannot vote on the matter, (3) I’m not affected by what they do and (4) I don’t have to pay - even if taxes might be wasted. They might wonder instead why their people talk to me instead of them. There is an attitude among government employees that has become systemic: The ‘Deep State’ belief that they rule; that they know better than the people and even their elected bosses. They want the public to forget that ovemment and its records gre open to the public, withput a reason or explanation. They do not have to explain themselves because the peopie need to conform and compromise to fit in. But when officials use a Mind Your Own Business argu­ ment, or use fear or favors, that is when the most scruti­ ny is needed. First, it is true I am a town­ ship resident, but so are trust­ ees Van Gessel and Lindsey. Every village resident is a township resident and pays property taxes to both. Villagers pay twice for dupli- cate governing boards, committees, public works depart­ ments and administrative functions, which averages about $650-pIus a year per residence. Though doing much less, the taxes have gone up about 50 percent over the past decade and 12-plus percent this year alone. The “twice” rule exists to ensure that village officials are not insulated from the township. Second, I do get to vote: The 1998 Village State Law change and State Boundary Commission now require a majority approval of citizens of both affected localities for a mutual change of government. People would support a merger if the governments were were healthy healthy and and both both propro­ tected. tected. But But with with economies economies of scale, the village suffers increasing costs and declining revenue each year and it’s not going to get better. Township residents have a legitimate long-term interest here. I suggested the village manager position be eliminated because it’s not needed anymore, there is not enough work. The remaining tasks <can be handled in other ways for less money and, even in . the short run, it is not afford­ able. They They do do not not refute refute it, it, able. but shoot the messenger. but shoot the messenger. Third, Third, township township residents residents are are affected affected by by what what neighneighbor governments do. Take the marijuana issue: The village council prohibited it a year ago, yet its planning commis­ sion spends time and attor­ ney fees “looking into it and how to evade federal statutes. In effect, Caledonia’s so afraid of contract snow­ plowing, it’s planning to plug deficits in the general fund budget by drugging our chil- dren for the tax revenue. Grand Rapids too will effec­ tively retitle the “Medical Mile” to “Marijuana Mile” in a year. Does anyone think dozens of retail marijuana shops next to school systems and easy driving for the million people of West Michigan isn’t going to affect everyone and everything? How long can the game last? Fourth, there is no positive argument for a “right to waste.” We are stewards of t , j u ♦ our talents and what we control. For good or bad, your thoughts become things. Residents do pay indirectly when local government professionalism and accountability (or lack of it) change our property values. Have I said something enmpthino somebody cnmphndv here doesn’t already know, that both the village and township have outgrown the present arrangement? A troubled or bankrupt business has options, the 1,280 governments within Michigan have almost none, unless they alone seek seek it. it. ItIt would alone would be be wise village and and wise for for the the village township to seek a combined government charter. charter, But back to the dog: The man went up to the store counter and asked the owner, “Say, what’s wrong with the old dog on the porch?” The store owner removed his pipe and looked out. “The dog is sleeping on a nail,” he drawled. “Well,” said the man, “if it is so uncomfortable, why doesn’t he just get up and sleep somewhere else?” The owner looked at the man and replied, “It doesn’t hurt enough.” 5 ’ Frederick Fleischmann, Caledonia OF M'Z) 115204 4/ FOUNDED IU4 NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Please be advised the Village of Middleville PLANNING COMMISSION will hold a PUBLIC HEARING on April 11, 2019 at 7:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as possible to consider a text amendment to Sec. 78-49 of the Village of Middleville Zoning Ordinance.

'Dp Business Services Business Services Jill J’ If you were to receive a sizable inheritance, what should you do with it? This money could help you achieve some of your import­ ant financial goals - so you’ll want to think carefully about your choices. Of course, everyone’s needs are different, so there’s no one “right’’ way to handle a large lump sum. But here are a few suggestions that may be useful: •Pay off some debts. Depending on the size of your inheritance, you may want to consider paying off some, if not all, of your debts, such as car Ioans, per­ sonal loans and student loans. You might even con­ sider paying off your mort­ gage, but you may not want to, as you might be able to get a better return on your money by investing it. Also, if all your money is tied up in a house, you’ll typically have less liquidity than you would get from your investments. • Contribute more to your retirement accounts. You may now be able to afford to contribute more to your 401(k) or other employ er-sponsored retirement plan, as well as to your IRA. These accounts offer tax benefits plus an array of investment choices, so they are excellent •• I ways to build resources for retirement. • Save for college. If you have children, or grandchil­ dren, whom you would like to someday send to college, you might want to put some of your inheritance into a college savings vehicle, such as a 529 plan, which pro­ vides tax benefits and gives you great flexibility in dis­ tributing the money. • Build an emergency fund. If you haven’t already built an emergency fund contain­ ing six to 12 months' worth of living expenses, you may be able to do so now, using part of your inheritance. Keep the money in a liquid low-risk account, so that it’s readily available to pay for unexpected costs, Without such a fund, you might be forced to tap into your longlong­ term term investments. investments. Above all else, you may want to get some help. If you don't don't already already have have one, one, aa financial financial professional professional can can recommend ways of using the money to help you meet your goals. For one thing, you could further diversify your investments, which is important, because diversifi- to cation can help reduce the t effects of market volatility on your portfolio. (Keep in mind, though, that diversifi­ cation can't prevent all losses or guarantee profits.) And a financial profession­ al can help you determine how much your plans could change due to the inheri­ tance. To name just one pos­ sibility, you might be able to move up your retirement date. If so, you'd need to adjust many aspects of your financial strategy, such as when to take Social Security, how much to withdraw- each a year from your retirement accounts, and so on. You’ll also need to consult with vour advisor, witn your tax inherited some because assets, such as an IRA, could have tax implications. Your loved ones worked hard, and probably invested for many years, to leave a legacy for you. So, to honor their memory, do whatever you can to handle your inheritance wisely, 1 I r k We are currently hiring • Grade Operator • Paving Operator • Truck Drivers Apply today! alasphaltinc.com 4634 Division Street, Wayland, MI 49348 800-871-4401 KWKW MIDDLEVILLE CALEDONIA 500 Arlington Court 9860 Cherry Valley Road •v r PUBLISHER’S NOTICE: Gordon * Civil Rights Act which collectively make it ille­ gal to advertise "any preference, limitation or * J DOBBlIM'S preference, limitation or discrimination.” Familial status includes children under the age of 18 living ACDeico COMPLETE with parents or legal custodians, pregnant women AUTO SERVICE CENTER and people securing custody of children under 18.

The village planning com­ mission voted unanimously Thursday to create the sub­ committee after extensive discussion on whether Caledonia should allow can­ nabis-based businesses, medical marijuana dispensa­ ries, or other similar facilities in the village. commission Planning chairman Jason Wangerin will serve on the subcommit­ tee along with commission­ ers Eric VanGessel and Sylvia Murphy. “I think we need to hear from both sides, the positive and the negative,” Commissioner Luitjen Kiewiet said. Last November, Caledonia voters split evenly on Proposal l,the measure that legalized marijuana for recreational use in Michigan and allowed the state to colied taxes on sales of the drug. A total of 376 village voters favored legalization, while 376 voted against the proposal. That split vote led village leaders to begin discussing the topic.

Main Street that involved the Michigan CEconomic Development Corp, and attracted nine interested developers. On Tuesday, March 16, Weeks, village President Charles Pullen and Planning and Zoning Administrator Brian Urquhart presented to an audience of nine develop­ ers at the Riverdog Tavern. The village is seeking a development partner for a 0.24-acre site in the down­ town district. The current assessed value of the parcel is $40,000. The asking price for the property is negotia­ ble, they said. “The village is eager to work with interested respon­ dents deemed qualified on iionuoo letmiiqo insmqo B OZIJOfl /ni Jsrfl t fiohooB .qioD tfeowni ? no .ajtooW golwiO * 1 nsnfl •ibu£ OB it la 210 : Hr JI 3 143rd year Published by J-Ad Graphics, Inc. • 1351 N.

Weeks said turnout was better than expected and developers were “very engaged and very interested” in the property. Village officials envision the property developing into a multi-use building with restaurant, retail, and lodging capabilities, But Weeks emphasized that the developer would have the freedom to come up with creative ideas for the parcel. The site was previously occupied by the two-story Middleville Hotel, which was lost to fire in 1981. . Urquhart said the village will be accepting submissions from interested devel­ opers up until May 14. Then the village officials will decide on a developer some­ time in June. He expressed the hope for multiple submissions from different developers. In other action, the council voted to raise Weeks’ salary by 2 percent, increasing his 2018 salary of $70,917.19 to $72,335.55, and increased his retirement plan contribu­ tion by 1 percent. President Pro-Tempore Sherry Ronning was in charge of this year's council review of the village manager. Ronning reported that Weeks had earned a 92.3 per­ cent satisfactory score from the seven council members. Council member Mike Cramer said he thought Weeks was “doing an amaz­ ing job” and praised him for continuing his education and training. training. In other business, the council approved a resolution to direct and support staff to apply for a grant that would help pay for a round- about at the intersection of East Main Street and Grand Rapids Street. Before the vote, Weeks advised council members to whether they consider favored a roundabout or not - and to vote accordingly.

You may tweet, blog, surf, shop, or search online but you continue to read your free community newspaper. You just proved that. Readership of free community newspapers is now higher that paid daily papers and continues to grow. Rather than being replaced by “instant” media, your local free community newspaper has become an important part of our neighborhood. The reason, which sometimes is not heard because of all the noise about the Internet, is pretty obvious: your free community newspaper does what the Internet doesn’t.

Softball has always been a huge passion of mine and it’s important to me that other girls get to fulfill their passion for the sport as well.

East Grand Rapids administrators visiting the Lee Makerspace room experienced students actually using the room in different lessons. I ' z - I I I Blue, green. yellow, orange and white Lego piec­ es were stacked in varying heights representing differ­ ent fractions. At a nearby table, Little Bits were used to turn wheels and make lights go on and off, demonstrating simple circuits. And later, students used their ingenuity and creativity as they tried to build the tallest tower possible using 100 Keva Planks. Lee Elementary School’s makerspace room was in the spotlight, and guests from East Grand Rapids Schools said they were impressed. The physical learning and the enjoyment you see is wonderful. The kids are standing up or working at stations. Their creativity comes to life, and it’s a great place to encourage student engagement,” said Dou; Jenkins, East Grand Rapids director of technology and assessment East Grand Rapids admin­ istrators said they are consid­ ering creating their own makerspace room but wanted 44 4 w® lit illiita " ■ & l>' - =3 ments and creativity. The space was renovated through grants, fundraising and many donations from the commu­ nity. Lee Principal Angela Jefferson said it's a wonder­ ful place for students to get their hands on blocks and Legos and dive into creativi­ ty and thinking outside the box. “We love our makerspace room and what it can do for our students ” she said. “Our teachers continue to find ways to incorporate lessons with hands-on learning in makerspace.” East Grand Rapids Wealthy Elementary School Principal Carlye Allen was intrigued by the Lego math demonstration, This Lego math lesson is so visual. I can see it being very helpful for our students,” she said. Third-grade teacher Josh Thaler said using the Legos for many different math les­ sons is much easier for some students, They can see the frac­ tions or the addition and sub­ traction,” he said. Lee combined the guest visit with a professional development hour for Lee teachers to receive a refresh­ er course on how the maker­ space can enhance the class­ room curriculum. Second-grade teacher Nathan Fischer demonstrated the Little Bits where circuits turned on lights for a quiz board on a shadow box. Nearby, a stop animation demonstration by TK tech­ director nology John Dombrowski showed how student writing comes to life in film. Students simply pre­ pare their stories, then create their backgrounds and char­ acters. Using stop animation, they can then film their story scenes and record their voice overs to bring them to life.

There are only three softball fields in the Village of Middleville, and only two that can be used for the summer TAPRC league, as one of them is solely reserved for the High School Varsity team. In addition, these two fields need a lot of work done to them. Unfortunately, the field at Spring Park always floods with every little sprinkle of rain. A muddy field is never enjoyable to play on. Furthermore, the natural wetlands nearby attract bugs that are nearly unbearable to play and spectate in. The JV field is also prone to puddles, especially around first base. Additionally, the outfield has increasingly become more uneven, creating a very danger­ ous playing surface to any player’s wellbe­ ing. TAPRC has no other option but to use these fields. Every year, the organization struggles to make arrangements for practice and game times, as there are not enough fields to support the amount of softball teams in the area. The town is in desperate need of some new fields. After conducting a survey with the help of Kennari, a local Grand Rapids company, the; lack of fields was found not to be the only issue in this little town.

As Kristen Cove, a very involved Middleville citizen, said, “The schools are the backbone of this community.” This is very true, as the schools hold all of the gyms and the town's only library. This is why it is important to many citizens of the community to build this center in town. The community center would be able to house many different activities. Softball, baseball, and flag football fields could be constructed, along with a regulation-size pool (which is another thing the high school lacks), fitness center, tennis courts, rock wall, and perhaps a public library that people not attending high school would feel more comfortable entering. A lacrosse field could even be built, bringing another sport and activity into the community that the local kids may have never gotten a chance to play otherwise. Any extra land could be used as a dog park with multiple paved scenic routes, where villagers can walk their dogs and socialize with other community mem mem-­ bers. The dogs could joyously run and play with one another. The possibilities are end- TK Technology Director Angie Ruger demonstrates how a green screen is used to make videos and photos while TK Technology Directory John Dombrowski and East Grand Rapids Technology Director Doug Jenkins are the subjects for the green screen training. Grand Rapids visitors stayed to watch Fischer’s students use the makerspace area. Students grouped Keva Planks in different combinations to easily count out 100 planks. Some made piles of 10 while others made piles of five, and some came up with other methods. Then students were challenged to use their creativity and engineerin skills to build the tallest structure they could using all 100 planks. A second task asked them to work with a partner to create two struc­ tures connected by a bridge. Students with the Keva Planks were spread out all around theroom - on the tables and the floor with plenty of room for students to walk around and see what others had done. . Fischer said he uses the room with his students often. “They love it,” he said. They would come in here every day if they could. It’s just a great place for them to be creative and have handson learning.” 44 •> less. They only stop when we, as a communi­ center could host softball tournaments over the weekends.

Sue Van Liere Contributing Writer John Tetzlaff recently found himself in the difficult position of making the deci­ sion to move his mom into assisted living. As Tetzlaff and his mom soon found out, the process of finding the right fit can be a bit daunting. “A lot of places were full, some of them were a little bit overwhelming for Mom Tetzlaff said. “We did a lot of touring, and I finally said, ‘Mom, of all the facilities, which one would you like to go to?’ She said, ‘Why can't I just live with you? Tetzlaff explained to his mom that although he would 99 9 999 love to have her live with him and his wife, they simply weren’t prepared to offer the kind of care she required. He admitted that it was a difficult conversation to have with his mother. However after some reflection, he had a revelation. He told his mom he would build his own facility, “We toured a lot of facili­ ties, so we sat down and we started going over stuff that Mom had picked out from different facilities, what she liked, what she didn’t like. The big thing that Mom wanted was community, something small where she didn't feel like another num- ber, where she felt like a resident, like this was her home - a community.” Although Tetzlaff and his wife spent many years as* owners and operators of sev­ eral childcare facilities, he had no experience in the elder care industry. However, his niece Katy Juarez did. Juarez, a registered nurse, had 11 years of experience in the health care industry, much of that in geriatrics and nursing management, Tetzlaff approached his niece with a proposition. “I asked her, ‘What are your thoughts on maybe opening our own facility?’ Her response was that she 9 Be "SENSIBLE" about your water!

I thought, ‘Oh no, maybe those weren’t the right words. Then she said ‘That’s crazy, because I’ve just been praying about that!’” “I said, I don’t know anything about assisted living, but I can learn, and you know everything about assisted living, so let's work together as a team and provide a facility that not only honors God, but honors Mom and also honors everybody who comes here. What began as a vision soon became a labor of love. Tetzlaff’s and Juarez’s endeavor came to fruition with a ribbon-cutting cere­ mony March 14, marking the opening of Legacies, a full-service assisted-living and memory care center in Caledonia. The building was packed as residents of Caledonia and nearby com­ munities turned out in sup­ port of the pair.

The Scots spent much of the evening protecting their own net against immense pressure from the Red Arrows, but were able to bend but not break.

This year, in addition to tidying up your home, why not try brightening your financial environment? Some of the same moves you make to clean your surroundings may apply to your finances. Consider these suggestions: • Get rid of clutter. When you go through your closets, attic, basement or other areas, you may find many items you no longer need. You might be able to sell some of these things or find other ways of disposing of them. And as you review your portfolio, you might also encounter “clutter” in the form of investments that may be redundant to others you own. If so, you might consider selling these invest­ ments and using the proceeds to purchase new ones, which may help you broaden your portfolio. • Protect yourself from hazards. As you go about your spring cleaning, you may well encounter hazard­ ous substances, such as cleaning agents, paints, bat­ teries, pesticides and so on, which you don’t need any­ more and which may pose potential health risks. You can reduce the possible dan- ger from these materials by build your portfolio, recycling or disposing of recvcline • Establish new habits. them in an environmentally Spring cleaning doesn’t have safe way.

COMPETITIVE CHEER Lakewood was the only Barry County varsity com­ petitive cheer team to win a conference championship in the winter of 2018-19, but every single team in the county had its high points throughout the season. Hastings and Thomapple Kellogg both won one of their conference jamborees during the season, the Saxons in the Interstate-8 Athletic Conference and the Trojans in the OK Gold/Green Conference. Lakewood, Hastings and Thomapple Kellogg were three of the four county teams to earn a spot in the regional round of the state tournament, joining Delton Kellogg in getting within a step of the state finals. It was a rare winter season that none of the county teams made the state finals. The Trojans and Saxons ran into tough competition in Division 2 and the Vikings went to the east side of the state for regionals for the first time and were bested by the traditional state power­ houses from over there. The Maple Valley girls missed out on qualifying for regionals, a goal the Lions have yet to accomplish, but they were as close as they ever have been - getting edged out by the DK girls for one of the top four spots at their Division 4 District Tournament. Every team grew as the season went on. All-Barry Competitive Cheer 2018-19 First Team Riley Hall, Thomapple Kellogg: A junior flyer for the Trojans.

Senior Ellie Adams scored from long range to open the scoring in the first half of her team’s 2-0 win over the Mustangs Friday, and then found the forehead of fresh­ man teammate Ainsley Oliver with a comer kick in the second half to score their team’s second goal. After burying the one shot from close to 35 yards out, Adams kept firing away from long rang and testing the Mustangs’ keeper. “It was a gorgeous, gor­ geous ball,” TK head coach Joel Strickland said of Adams’ goal. “She is really good as far as possession, she can get around a few people, and that shot is dangerous. Every time she has it you’re hoping she’ll take it because she has that. Oliver is one of four fresh men working their way into the line-up for the Trojans this spring. She got her head on another hall in the opening minutes against the Cougars Monday, heading a long free kick from Adams over to teammate Savannah Bronkema in the box.

I always like playing nice people. Her forehand was definitely stronger than her backhand, so I tried to hit to her back­ hand more,” Wakley said. Raphael noticed that too on Tuesday. She said it was as little out of character for her to struggle with her back­ hand the way she did. Raphael was back out on the court running through some things with coach Philippe Sylvestre as every­ one else was headed home Monday as afternoon turned to evening. She worked a lot with Sylvestre during the winter, both in the gym and in the weight room. She put in almost five hours a day in practice many times during the weekdays last summer, and it has helped her earn a future spot in the Spring Arbor University Women’s Tennis program. Raphael was the Trojans’ fourth sin­ gles player a year ago, so she is making a big jump up. “I feel like, to me, all that matters is that I play a good game of tennis,” Raphael said. “Winning or losing doesn’t matter. I just want to play a good game of tennis. Today went pretty different than what I thought it was going to be, but it was still good.” Wakley didn’t get to put in nearly the work in the offseason Raphael did. She dealt with an injury after her junior season and didn’t really even start getting back into the swing of things until December. Wakley felt like she played much better Tuesday than she had in her team’s scrimmages with Grandville and Hudsonville last Friday. “I moved a lot better than I did during our scrimmage, so that was good. I was mov­ ing my feet a bit more. I felt more confident with my shots,” Wakley said. “The extra practice Monday probably helped the whole team.

The ordinance stated that its purpose was to pro­ vide safety to residents and users of the lake during the winter when ice is present. It is also to protect the natural resources and habitats of the lake, maintain navigability of winter activities and prevent and avoid impairment of property values. Residential bubblers, bubblers according to the ordinance, will no longer be allowed in the township.

Licensed commercial mari­ nas (three boat slips or more) that lawfully existed as of Feb. 1 may have bubblers or turbines along present docks or piers only if they follow specified regulations listed in the ordinance. The ordinance states that the marina owner must apply for and receive a bubbler permit from the township zoning administrator, ensuring allstandards, laws and requirements are met. The mechanism may not cause any open water or weakened ice any farther than 10 feet from the dock, pier, boat or other structure protected by the the bubbler. bubbler. The The owner owner of of the the marina must place signs along along the the ice ice within within 10 10 feet feet of of open open water water or or weakened weakened ice. Size and placement of such signs are listed in the ordinance. The owner must also keep in effect, at all times, liability insurance in the amount of at least $2 million, should anyone drown or be injured due to the open or weakened ice due to the bubbler. The owner of the marina also must keep, within 100 feet of the item, a buoyant life preserver, a lightweight ladder ;at least 10 feet in length and aa 20 20 feet feet long long light light metal metal pole. The ordinance also also addressed riparian rights of the neighboring properties within 500 feet of a marina using a bubbler. It states that a bubbler may not cause significant, negative impact upon the area of Gun Lake, including the natural environment. Audience comments included questions about how the township planned to enforce the ordinance, concems about whether offend­ ers would be fined and what kind of follow-up would take place. Board members remained confident and reassured attendees that infractions would be taken seriously. ‘ Comments were expressed about the understanding of where riparian lines are. It was recommended to stipulate what a survey would have to show to be able to adhere to the ordinance, Rook said he would con­ tact the township’s lawyer regarding how the riparian lines are drawn and how far out they go. Another resident asked if the village would consider raising the fine to $500 a day. Trustee Bob Perino said he would rather get an opinion from the attorney before making a motion on that subject. Other questions involved the violation process and how it worked. The board responded that if any expec­ tations of the ordinance are not met, a marina owner would be fined $100 for each first violation. Subsequent violations would be $200 for each offense each day. Mel Township clerk Risner clarified that each day during which any violation continues shall be deemed a separate offense. The public asked how they would contact the township in regard to a violation of the ordinance. “First of all,” Rook said, “I’ve got know about it.” “Do we have to address it at a meeting like this,” an audience member asked, “or can we just call the [town­ ship office]?” Rook instructed the resi­ dents to call one of the board members if they saw a viola­ tion, and they would take the next step. The next step would be to notify the marina owner and give the owner 15 days to * See BUBBLER, page 3 In This Issue f • Caledonia Township OKs new trail • Middleville prepares to introduce parking permits • Caledonia schools showcased at Grand Rapids Art Museum • Spring sports season previewed �Page 2/The Sun and News.

That's according to a 2017 study they did based on num­ bers of participants, how far they traveled to get to Hastings, how long they stayed and what activities they were involved in during their stays, he said. This year, the race could have grown to 4,000 partici­ pants, TenCate said, but their oal is to manage the growth carefully to ensure the safety of riders and the community as well as a positive sponsor­ ship experience. “We want to continue to manage it well and grow it at a reasonable pace,” he said. The trend toward gravel road cycling continues to row across the county, he added. “It doesn’t look like it’s slowing down.” The Barry-Roubaix does not attract many professional cyclists because it's not a sanctioned event, he noted, but it does attract a lot of peo­ ple who love cycling. Gravel racing can accom­ modate multiple different kinds of bikes, and can give a road-racing type of experi­ ence, but with less traffic and better scenery. The Barry-Roubaix fea­ tures hills like “Long Tall Sally,” “Deep Lake Climb,” “Cowpie Hill,” “Dastardly Drake,” and “The Schnoz.” Combined elevations range from 1,200 feet for the 22-mile route, 2,200 feet for I the 36-mile route, to 3,800 3 feet for the 62-mile course, to 4 about 5,700 feet for the 100­ j mile route. ■.•rijh ■ftW W ■~ ft I Service i* ft available on an equal opportunity basis To report ber for the heanng impaired is 1-800-927-9275. • Complete Collision * Ford listed on ballots to be given to historical society 616-451 -2980 The HUD toll-free telephone num­ Assisted LMng I Contributing Writer | M Construction will I A new nonmotorized trail I Caledonia connecting start almost I Township with the village of immediately, as I Caledonia could be ready for soon as the frost use by this summer.

Of course, this disaster has fascinated the world ever since, leading to books, movies, musicals and, ultimalely, a successful search for the big ship's remains. On the positive side, commercial shipping lines learned a great deal from the Titanic, resulting in safer travel across the oceans. And as an investor, you, too, may be able to draw some important lessons from what happened on that cold April night more than a century ago. So, to avoid some “titanic investment mistakes, consid­ er the following: • Create a financial strate­ gy' with a solid foundation Although considered a tech­ nological marvel, the Titanic had some real structural, foundational flaws - such as compartments that weren’t fully watertight. To withstand the inevitable rough seas ahead, your investment strategy needs a strong foundation, based on your needs, goals, family situation, risk tolerance and time horizon. • Be receptive to advice. The Titanic s crew had received plenty of Marconi wireless warnings from other ships about ice in the area. Yet they did not take precau­ tions, such as slowing down. When you invest, you can benefit from advice from a financial professional ship received a $775,908 MDOT grant to make the project possible. Preliminary work has already taken place in the form . of tree removal. Harrison said because of environmental laws, any tree removal needed for the proj­ ect had to take place prior to April 1. “From April I until October 1, you may not do any tree removal for federal and state-funded projects,” he said. “They're protecting an endangered bat which roosts and mates and hangs in the trees.” In other business In Wednesday, the township board approved setting a $ 15,000 budget for the annu­ al Independence Day celebration and appointed a com­ mittee to put together plans for the event, which will be June 29.

Finally, this fall, I decided that it was time to share it with the world. For this writing piece, J asked my students to consider aspects of our community that could be improved and to come up with concrete steps to make those improvements. As six­ teenand seven­ teen-year-olds, they serve as a unique bridge between present and future in our town; most of them have lived in and cared about this community for almost two decades, and many of them plan on making this town their home for the rest of their lives. They are incredi­ bly perceptive, creative, and caring, and these qualities definitely surface in their writing. After devising the assign­ ment, I decided to make it an essay competition. A panel of interested, adult community members was assembled and the rest is history. The top 10 essays (based on the panel’s feedback) will earn monetary prizes. This was made possi­ ble through generous contri­ butions from board members of the Thornapple Area Enrichment Foundation. Some of the top essays have been published in the past couple of weeks. Here’s Megan Baldry the 5th place essay from Megan Baldry: Community Essay Action When I drive down the streets of Middleville, seeing the roads lined with trees whose leaves are changing color, down the charming brick streets and past little shops, I can’t help but draw a parallel to the tiny town of Stars Hollow, Conn., in one of my favorite shows, Gilmore Girls. Stars Hollow has all the hallmarks of a lovely and homey town. Everyone knows each other. They support their local businesses (like the coffee shop and grocery store). And they decorate for every holiday. A treasured gazebo adorns the center of their town, right next to the town hall. The first snow powders rooftops and the village begins looking more like the inside of a snow globe than anywhere else. The town is quiet on a Sunday morning, with people at church or sleeping in, and everyone really does know everyone, meaning that news travels in the blink of an eye. Middleville shares many of these characteristics. But regarded I’ve never Middleville with the same sort of pure goodness and simplicity as Stars Hollow, despite having lived here for my whole life. Maybe it's because Stars Hollow is fic­ tional. Any town can be per­ fect when it’s at the mercy of a scriptwriter. But Middleville and Stars Hollow do tend to share one other characteristic unlike the oth­ ers: They can be viewed as a club that only few have a PassJ,° en5en The fictional close-knit community of Stars Hollow had been known to shun or gossip about people who were new to their city — it was clear that you had to earn your place in their town. Middleville can present a similar facade. The commu­ nity is vibrant and lovely when I’m at school and we win a football game, or when I look out into the audience from the stage during the school musical. It is clear that things that feel like suc­ cesses hold town interest and we feel supported within those walls or stadium. Breaking through that Michigan 2019 fishing license season opened Monday The 2019 fishing license season kicked off Monday in Michigan - as well as the new fishing regulation cycle. All 2019 fishing licenses are good for all species and are valid through March 31, 2020. Anglers can choose from eight options that include Resident annual ($26) Nonresident annual ($76), Senior annual (resident 65 or older or residents who are legally blind - $11), 24-hour (resident or nonresident $10), 72-hour (resident or nonresident - $30), Resident hunt/fish combo (base, annu­ al fishing, two deer - $76), Senior resident hunt/fish combo (base, annual fishing, two deer - $43) or a Nonresident hunt/fish combo (base, annual fishing, two deer - $266). A few new regulations began on Monday. The statewide daily pos­ session limit for yellow perch has been reduced to 25 (except as noted in the Fishing Guide). The daily possession limit for lake trout and splake combined in Lake Huron lake trout management unit « * — — 2 • * • linked-arm chain of the vil­ lage is not always an easy task. iddx. We wc uphold upiuiu the mt same aamv people, the same parents organize everything, and when we read names of stu­ dents honored for one reason or another in the paper, my mom will mention that she knew the student's parent, or more often, that she “went to school with them,” as both of my TK alumni parents may have. And just like they did, I've been sitting next to the same faces in class every day for the past 11 years. And I don’t really know most of them, It’s not because they're unfriendly or I don’t know their names. It’s because, more often than not, nobody makes an attempt to try. A so-tightly knit group like Middleville and the surrounding areas want to be welcoming, friendly, and know everyone’s name. They bring new small businesses in and, hopefully, a few will stick. Every day on my way to school, I drive over the charming red brick roads that have to be redone every few years. Seconds later, I drive past the gazebo with a plastic ice skating rink that I think I’ve seen no more than six people use in the years since it was installed. The inten­ tion ui of Middleville is good uvu and true. They know who they want to be, and each new thing they do, from cof­ fee shops to gazebos, is a step closer. But there’s one major problem beneath the surface of the town whose solution could push them right where they want to be: I don’t know my neighbors. Any of them, in any direction. I haven’t gotten to know them since the prior residents all eventually moved away, many years ago. My intention is not to call out the people of Middleville for not reaching out. (I am one of them!) It’s to ask for change. It's to smile at peopie you pass on the sidewalk, to bring your neighbors cookies, to support the jazz band just as much as the football team. It’s to learn to embrace change. To wish people “happy holidays” or shovel an elderly neighbor’s driveway if you’re able. To use manners and talk to peo­ ple you’ve never met before, To listen to other points of view, and to expand your world. (My goodness, there is so much world beyond our brick streets!) If you’re a student, to sit by someone new *** in class, vi or vnuose choose a partner for a project who isn’t your best friend. To show a bit more friendliness and compassion to each per­ son you encounter, regard­ less of who they are. I’m not asking you to jump out of your comfort zone or abandon all of your friends. I’m asking you to bring back a small spark of joy that made (roughly) 3,000 people choose to move, stay, or return to Middleville. Bring Middleville one step closer to being the town it is striving to become, “Megan Baldry is an elev­ enth grade student: at Thornapple-Kellog High School. She enjoys partici­ pating in theatre and music programs. In the future, she hopes to open her own bak­ ery (since cookies are the best way to spread joy). A lifelong resident of Middleville, she was inspired to write on this topic in the hopes of creating a culture and a community in which everyone feels included, accepted, and listened to.” 9 Middleville resident among latest MSP graduates New troopers assigned to local post Michigan’s newest troop- Wednesday.) ers, including Mitchell The Marshall Post will add Kneibel of Middleville, will the most new troopers, soon report to work at including Kaitlyn Bielecki of Michigan State Police posts Mancelona, Kleo Hinson of across the state after graduat­ Clinton Township, Anna ing from the 135th Trooper Humes of Ann Arbor, Jacob Recruit School Wednesday Owen of Jackson and Tracey afternoon.

In addition to a panel of student leaders, each class nominated and voted for one person to receive the fairness award. Their classmates receiving the honor were deemed to be fair and open to inviting others into groups and recess events. The fair­ ness winners were surprised when their parents walked in just as they were receiving their awards. The students also talked about apologizing when they say or do something wrong and forgiving others who sin­ cerely apologize. School counselor Mary Holwerda said it’s important for students to realize that apologizing not only helps others forgive, but it also helps the person making the apology feel better them- GET ALL THE NEWS OF BARRY COUNTY!

Several student leaders in the panel shared their personal stories about apologizing and then being able to let the situation go. Some of them used “magical” dissolving paper to write out an apology. After reading the apology out loud, they put the paper in the water, stirred it up a bit, and in an instant, it was one. • “You don’t have to have dissolving paper to let go of things,” Holwerda said. “It’s like making your apology - a sincere apology - helps the other person feel better and it helps you feel better, too.” Fifth grade student panel Principal Mike Gelmi members reminded students there is nothing wrong with making Austin Hansford and John mistakes and that everyone Dunkelberger. makes them, even grownups.

They’ll lead the way as the Trojans work for a third con­ secutive district champion­ ship this spring, but there are big goals to shoot for before that. The Trojans had won three straight OK Gold Conference titles before South Christian finished atop the conference last spring. “Of course our goals don’t seem to change,” TK head coach Joel Strickland said. “We want to compete for another conference championship. We won three in a row before losing last sea­ son. It won’t come easy as South Christian, Forest Hills Eastern and Grand Rapids Christian will all be very tough this year. I think it’s going to be a battle.” It’s a good thing he has some battle-tested players in each level of the field. Raymond was honorable mention all-state in Division 2 a year ago. “She is dangerous for us on in the midfield and up top. She will be a tough player to stop with her speed,” Strickland said. Adams holds down the midfield, “Her field awareness is one of the best I have seen and her ability to run the middle will be big for us this season,” Strickland said. Niles is back to anchor the defense, “She has been a part of 22 shutouts the past two seasons starting on defense ' ‘ for us, never coming out of the game,” Strickland said. Other seniors on the Trojan roster include Haley Chapin, Terryn Cross, Bree Bonnema and Sydney Coffman. “All four of them fill find different roles for us this sea­ son. They are huge leaders for our program,” Strickland said. There is a group of four freshmen who will see regu­ lar playing time for the Trojans, Ainsley Oliver, Kiah Nichols, Grace McNabney and Tristen Cross. Cross brings size and length to the goal for the Trojans. “Ainsley Oliver is a for­ ward who is fitting in well with our system,” Strickland said. “She is dangerous up top and her speed will be a huge help to our team. Kiah Nichols is strong in the mid­ field and her engine is one that keeps going and going. Her ability to run the field and her toughness will be something to watch. Grace McNabney is a defender for us us and and her her 1-v-l 1-v-l defending defending isis very good.” Getting those four girls worked into the system will be key to how well the Trojans do this spring, but everyone is capable of contributing this spring. “We have 18 girls who can all play,” Strickland said, “Finding the right combina­ tions will be the key as we have the ability to wear teams down. We are very strong defensively returning a very strong core on defense.” The Trojans earned shut outs in each of their first two ballgames of the season, and went into spring break with a 2-1 record. The two early season wins have moved coach Strickland into a tie with program founder Steve Evans for the most coaching wins in the history of the program with 112. “I have had the chance to coach some amazing kids and have the best assistants around for this run. I would never have thought the day would come, but here it is,” Strickland said. 1 9 ■ I $ r if $ l 1K jumps right into the OK Gold Conference sched­ ule this week, hosting East Grand Rapids Thursday to open conference play.

Saturday, April 6, 2019/ Page 11 Trojan tennis program has 60 girls looking to improve Brett Bremer Sports Editor The Thomapple Kellogg varsity girls’ tennis team is l-0 and will go for win num­ ber two at home against Mona Shores Wednesday. The Trojans were 11-4-1 overall a year ago and have a little work to do to fill the holes caused by graduation. Senior Karlie Raphael and Sydney VanGessel played off for the top singles spot this spring, with Raphael earning the top spot, VanGessel, a junior, with fill the second singles flight. TK had a pair of four-year varsity singles players graduate from the top two spots last spring. “Both are solid players with strong records from pre­ vious years,” coach Larry Seger said. TK also brings back senior Kylee Vreeland and Taylor Myers. Vreeland returns to first doubles, while Myers is moving up to number three to form a duo with her class­ mate. Junior Rachel Chesnutt, who teamed with Myers at third doubles a year ago. Chesnutt opens the year at third third singles singles and and may may see see at time at second doubles this season as well. Brooke Thompson will open at fourth singles, moving from her fourth doubles position last season. Holly Bashore will most likely stay at second doubles after a solid season at that position. The program has 60 girls out for the sport this spring, so there have been as lot of decision to make to fill the remaining roster spots. Making those decisions are Seger, who is coaching his 86th varsity tennis team over the past 51 years at TK. He has been the girls’ head coach for 46 of those seasons. He is once again joined by Philippe Sylvestre who is in his sixth season with the program and Bill Bowers who is taking over the JV team. The group picked Josie Thompson to fill the second doubles flight with Bashore, and saw Caleigh Zoet and Daisy Nowinsky earn the third doubles spot. Lydia Cole and Lila Nelson are currently competing for the fourth doubles spot with Joselynn Lasch and Caitlyn Pranger also hoping to break in to the starting line-up. Courtney Haveman and Maggie Burmania will round out the varsity lineup for this year and could con­ tend for a varsity spot very soon according to coach Seger. We have a great group of girls willing to work hard to improve their skills. We have 60 players improving every day,” Seger said, “The bottom of the singles and doubles lineups lack experience. We expect new players to develop quickly and have good success as they gain experience. The bottom of the singles and doubles line-up will be key to our success this season.

TK TK and South South Christian Christian have have and been battling it out for the fourth spot in the league 44 11 Sydney VanGessel standings in recent seasons, and both typically right in the battle for a state qualifying spot at regionals. Coach Seger expects Wayland and Wyoming to be improved as well. TK will go to the Lakewood In vitational Saturday (April 13) and then open OK Gold Conference action at East Grand Rapids April 15. TK girls’ track brings back pair of D2 state qualifiers M Brett Bremer I 3 I n * ® taltyp Sports Editor The Thomapple Kellogg varsity girls’ track and field team had three state qualifi­ ers, all in field events, at the end of the 2018 season and a pair of them return to try and go faster and higher this spring. Claudia Wilkinson, now a junior, set a personal record at 5 feet 2 inches in the high jump last spring and quali­ fied for the Division 2 State Finals in the event for the first time. She already got over the bar at 5-0 this season and will look to keep moving up in that event as well as shave time in the hur­ dles. She was the OK Gold Conference champion in both the high jump and the 300-meter low hurdles a year ago and just missed qualify­ ing for the state meet in that event too. At the pole vault pit sophomore Paige Zellmer qualified for the state finals as a freshman. She rose from 7-0 at the first meet of the season to a personal record of 9-3 at regionals which earned her a spot in the state finals. Other top returnees for the Trojans this spring include sophomore Dallas Jousma in the throws, senior middle distance runner Jacklyn Morgan and senior sprinter Kaylee Spencer. Jousma placed top ten in the OK Gold Conference last year in both the shot put and the discus as a freshman, “We are a young team with more distance runners coming in,” TK head coach Maggie Wilkinson said. “One of our main goals this year is building each other up and using all of our tal­ ents for the team.” In distance and middle distance events this spring the Trojan team is happy to add freshmen Trista Hilton, Kendal Snyder, Jessica Durkee, Kelsey Smith. Freshman sprinter Anna Benedict will contribute as well this spring. Hilton could contribute in the hurdles as well as the 400-meter dash. The Trojans will do their best to compete in the tough OK Gold Conference once again this spring. Perennial state powers East Grand Grand Rapids Rapids, Christian and Forest Hills Eastern have good groups of girls returning. It’ll take some work for the Trojans to break into that top four. Coach Wilkinson said the hope is that by the end of the season the Trojans will have a few more girls capable of qualifying for the state finals. The Trojans will head to the Gull Lake Invitational Friday afternoon and then open the OK Gold Conference season with a dual against South Christian in Middleville April 17.

The group of returnees is highlighted by third baseman Levi Vanderheide, first base­ men Matt McNee and Brain Davidoski, outfielders Colson Brummell and Jordan Hey and short stop Alex Bonnema. McNee, Vanderheid, Davidoski, Brummell and Dawson Hamming have all seen time on the mound so far this spring for the Trojans. The Trojans will go to the Otsego Bulldog Softball Classic Saturday, April 13, and then get the conference season underway when it travels to East Grand Rapids to take on the Pioneers at Manhattan Park April 16 in a doubleheader.

The seven returning seniors were all a part of the starting line-up as the Caledonia varsity softball team won its first ever state championship last spring, knocking off Hartland 6-4 in the Division 1 State Final on the campus of Michigan State University.

The TK ladies are coming off a 9-1 OK Gold Conference season in which they shared the conference title with the perennial powers from Taylor Cross Siewertsen and Jadon Huyser, along with outfield­ ers Abby Mitchell and Julia Becker and catcher Taylor Cross. v Typically losing a pitcher like Samantha Gehrls, who already had two wins in four starts as a rresnman freshman at uranci Grand Valley State University this spring and fired every pitch for the Scots in the state championship game and most of them through the state tournament run, would cause a bit of a blip. The Scots will certainly miss the all-stater who was as talented a batter as she was a pitcher, but coach Tom Kaechele sees four different pitchers on his team who could start for any team in the state. The group includes Hamp, VanZytveld and Becker. Coach Kaechele is happy to add juniors Amber Jakiel, Kaili Beyer andMegan Claery to the roster as well. He says all three have speed and can hit. The Scots should be solid up and down the line-up once again. The goals are ones that are simply stated. The Scots want to win the OK Red Conference and then get back to the state finals to defend their title. Caledonia opened its sea­ son with two lopsided wins over Cedar Springs March 26.

For now, the Scots are going to see how they stack up in the OK Conference Tier II for the first time in a long time. Grand Rapids Christian earned the promo- J Grace DeRidder tion in the OK Conference last spring, moving up to Tier I as the Caledonia girls move down to Tier II. The Caledonia girls join Grand Haven, Spring Lake, West Ottawa, Grandville and Lowell in the Tier II competition this spring. Senior midfielder Kendall Schneider, senior attacker Johnna Pullen and junior goalie Grace DeRidder are among the top returning players for new head coach Bob Lyle, Lyle is taking over the program this spring from longtime coach Ralph Shefferly, who decided late in the off- season that he would not be returning to lead the Fighting Scots program. Lyle has been the assistant varsity coach at Caledonia for the past couple seasons, after a stint at Catholic Central. He was also a part of the Caledonia program before taking over as the Cougars' JV coach. Other key returnees to the program include junior attacker Lilly Parsons, senior attacker Allie Provost, soph­ omore midfielder Marisa Helsten and senior defender Tyler Ann VanderMolen. Coach Lyle is looking for­ ward to the addition of fresh­ man midfielder Stella Bottum and freshmen defenders Brinlee Barry and Reagan Weiss. “We are hoping they put fear in the other team. If they were attacking me they'd put fear in me," coach Lyle said. The Caledonia girls suf­ fered a tough loss to East Grand Rapids 17-5 March 26 before spring break. The Scots will return to action at Vicksburg Monday and then host Grand Haven Tuesday. Caledonia travels to Birmingham Seaholm Friday, April 12. That loss to the Pioneers followed a 13-1 over Grand Ledge March 23.

Caledonia varsity boys’ golf coach Gus Wagner has a bunch of guys who really enjoy playing golf on the roster this spring, not that that is unusual for his pro­ gram, but he knows guys like senior Cam Poll and fresh­ man Landon Wanless might be talented enough athletes to be going from one team to the next all year long. They’re mostly focused on golf though. Poll, qualified for the Division 1 Lower Peninsula State Finals as a sophomore, and was back as the Scots' top player a year ago. He earned all-conference honors and was just two strokes shy of earning another state spot at regionals last spring. Coach Wagner expects Poll to be one of the top two or three individuals in the OK Red conference this spring.

One of those guys out in the cold was sophomore Bryce Fleisher, who was the top player on Caledonia's JV team last spring and is going to be a regular scorer for the varsity this season along with freshman Landon Wanless. “Landon has been playing summer tournaments since he was a kid,” coach Wagner said. “He has a lot of experi­ ence playing in those.” r-iif. son. Everybody has been doing something. That's what it takes to be competitive in the OK Red Conference. Rockford fin­ ished as the state runner-up a year ago, and loses just one senior from its top five. The Scots did come out on top at the OK Red Conference jam­ boree they hosted last spring. “It is an exciting time for us right now, but until you see everybody you just don't know how you stack up,” Wagner said. The OK Red Conference season starts Tuesday when Sports Editor The Fighting Scots have the depth to fit in just fine in the OK Red Conference. The Caledonia varsity boys’ track and field team has more than 100 boys out for the team this season, the biggest track and field team in the history of the high school program. New Tcfrsity head coach Ben Thompson is now tasked with sorting through all those guys, fitting them into their best events and figuring out a way to help the team climb up in the con­ ference standings after a fifth-place finish in the con­ ference a year ago. He likes the group of ten captains he has to help work through the process. One of the top returning athletes is junior Evan Johnson, who is talented enough of a runner to com­ pete with some of the con­ ference's best in both the sprints and distance races. He was seven in the OK Red Conference in the 200-meter dash and third in the 400meter run a year ago. The middle distance and long distance races will be a strong spot for the Scots this spring with the return of seniors Oliver Alvesteffer and Jalen Banfill, sopho­ more Jamin Thompson and the addition of freshman Josh Oom. Coach Thompson is the long-time leader of the Caledonia varsity boys' cross country program, and Seth Morse the Division I Cross Country Finals last fall. Seniors Dylan McAllister and Braden Turke are a coupie of the team's top return­ ing sprinters, along with Seth Morse who finished among the top ten in the OK Red in the pole vault at year ago as well. Oom isn’t the only talent­ ed newcomer. Coach Thompson expects good results from Austin Watrous Kentwood April 10 and at Grand Haven April 15. The Scots hope to chase down the Buccaneers and Hudsonville Eagles for a spot in the top three in the conference behind state powerhouses East Kentwood and Rockford if they can. East Kentwood took the Division State I Championship last spring, with Rockford not far behind in fifth place at the finals. 5 �1 • I 11» Page 14/The Sun and News, Saturday, April 6, 2019 MMMRMMRB ■■■■■■ 9HMRI - • ■ ~ < to+’ r *• I r % J » » > >4 1 t■ ■* 14 I L RM ah/ * ■r V •< "V ? 4 5 '1 a ■> *-; >• F.

The Scots were 9-6-3 in duals last season and placed sixth in the OK Red Conference. The league will be tough at the top again, with Rockford, West Ottawa and Hudsonville among the best teams on the west side of the state.

The Fighting Scots are never going to shy away from competition, but it can be a sigh of relief to run in a meet that’s not filled with OK Red Conference all­ staters every now and then. Caledonia’s varsity girls’ track and field team, and the boys’ team for that matter, will travel to East Lansing for its Division 1 Regional Meet at the end of the season. “We are interested to move up our position in the OK Red and interested to see how we can compete at our regional meet which will include 18 DI teams,” new head coach Ben Howell said, “and we’ll be the only OK Red school in our region.” That means the 2018 state runners-up from Rockford and the third-place state finals team from East Kentwood, and top 25 finish­ ers Hudsonville and Grand Haven won’t be there. They’ll be battling it out at a regional meet in Jenison. Caledonia had just two state finals performances a year ago. Lindsey Peters placed 19th in the 1600meter run at the DI Finals to finish her freshman season. She was one of two freshmen and two juniors on the Scots 3200-meter relay team that qualified for the finals as well, placing 24th in that race. Peters is back for her soph­ omore season, along with fel­ low state finals relay runner Emma Woltjer, now a senior. Other top point scorers for the Scots who are back this spring include junior distance runner Taylor Visscher, senior sprinter Amiyah VanderGeld and senior dis­ tance runners Carly Postma and Jenna Smith.

April 6, 2019/ Page 15 Scots bring back just shy of a dozen ballplayers Brett Bremer Sports Editor The start of another OK Red Conference baseball season is here. The Caledonia varsity baseball team will head to Grand Haven for a doubleheader with the Buccaneers Tuesday, and then host Grand Haven for a ballgame Thursday. Fighting Scots head coach Pat Gillies, who is entering his eighth spring leading the program, is excite about the team chemistry he has seen so far with 11 returning ball­ players working a small group of youngsters into the mix. The 11 returning ballplay­ ers include Easton Brown, Patrick Gillies, JD Gillies, Aaron Henry, Cole Hebert, Tyler Howarth, Braedan Jones, Jack Snider, Andrew Taylor, Luke Thelen and Tyler Verburg. Thelen got the start on the mound in the Scots’ sea­ son-opening victory over in Thornapple Kellog Middleville before spring break. Taylor was one of the team's top starters a year ago as well, and Jack Snider, Easton Brown and Tyler Howarth all threw important relief innings a year ago. “We are hoping that that experience will help us U* through the always tough OK Red. The new players have a lot of baseball experience and knowledge too,” coach Gillies said. The list of varsity new­ comers includes Ben Coble, Jake Kibbey, Tony Mauer, Hayden Pattock and Jonah Siekman. Coach Gillies couldn't sin­ gle out one stand-out team in the OK Red Conference. Nearly every team in the con­ ference is capable of beating any other on any given night.

First-year head coach Paul Kramer is working on imple­ menting a new system and some new concepts with a new staff and said time will aid in that adjustment. All of that effort will be in an attempt to keep the program at the level that former coaches Steve Sanxter and Jamie Pillbeam kept it at for so long. “I am very excited with this group of girls and the work ethic that they have already shown thus far this season,” coach Kramer said. “They seem to be building a good chemistry with one another and carrying out w*iat we coaches ask of them daily. They have a hunger to improve and do well, and as a coach, that’s all 1 can ask. “For me individually, it will be tough following in coach Steve Sanxter’s shad­ ow. He led this program for 15 years and led it to great heights with dignity and class. I look forward to try­ ing to meet those standards again with this program, and we will do it one day at a time.” The Caledonia girls were 6-10-2 overall last spring, finishing with a 4-6-2 mark in the tough OK Red Conference. The top retumees from that team include senior defender Kelsie Scharp, sophomore forward Amber Lewandowski, junior defenders Holly Bowling and Katie Klomparens and junior midfielder Kristi Weninger. Bowling could also see time as a winger this season, and Scharp could split some time between defense and the forward position, Senior defender Stephanie Dykgraaf, senior forward Lexa Nelson junior defender Ellee Fairchild and junior defender Whitney Knowerski will all be working to fill big roles for the team this sea­ son. “No expectations were put on this team going into this season other than to compete in every game to the fullest, coach Kramer said. “The OK Red and our district are very tough, so I want the focus to be on getting better individu­ ally and as a team every day.” “This team has some speed and physicality in key posi­ tions which will hopefully allow us to be successful this season.” Caledonia girls The opened the season with a 1-0 - A * ^5 * 5 -> zr I * J .V2■ * •, 2 - < j£ I ■ * - < r < a r 5 *• *. ¥ 4 * ■ li 1• JM r *.

A pair of goals less than ten minutes apart in the mid­ dle of the second half vaulted the Trojans to a 2-1 victory over East Grand Rapids in their OK Gold Conference opener inside Bob White Stadium on a cold, windy Thursday evening. The win moves Strickland a victory ahead of former TK head coach Steve Evans who guid­ ed the TK ladies to 112 wins from 1990 through 2002. In Strickland’s eight plus seasons, the Trojans have compiled a 113-37-15 record overall and finished with a winning record in seven of his eight campaigns while winning three conference and two district champion­ ships. “It is special, it really is,” Strickland said. “I didn’t W ho'Xk ft is°pretty<neat over the years, several of them from Erick Rodas to Tom Strumberger and Alaina Pohl, who is still one of my See COACH, page 8 Thornapple Kellogg varsity girls’ soccer coach Joel Strickland talks things over with assistant coach Alaina Strickland talks things over with assistant coach Alaina just to say that you're m that Pohl during halftime of their team's OK Gold Conference juai iv say uuu juu iv in ui ». __ __ position.

The funeral service is planned for 11 a.m. Friday at the United Methodist Church of Middleville. On Tuesday, Barry County Commissioners noted Wenger’s death and the sub­ sequent loss to the county during their invocation at the start of the meeting. Wenger was a county com­ missioner for District 2 from 1989 to 1998. One of his proudest accomplishments during his public service, he said, was his role in helping to create a countywide 911 system.

Catherine Getty, township zoning administrator, proposed the fees and compensation increase, stating that the changes are needed because the township hasn’t made any changes to the fee rates or the compensation of board members “since 2009.” The new fees will affect the following Planning and Zoning services: Zoning compliance per­ mits increase from $35 to $40. Zoning permit surcharge (charged when construction begins before a zoning permit is obtained) rise from $250 to $300. Dimensional variance or appeal appeal applications applications increase increase from $50 to $250. Special Planning Commission Commission meetings, meetings, upon upon request by applicant, rise from $665 to $800. Special ZBA meetings, upon request by applicant, increase from $300 to $650. Special Township board meetings, upon request by applicant, rise from $500 to $650. Getty noted in her proposal that the increased fees for requesting a meeting with the township, planning commission, and ZBA do not cover the actual cost of the meetings themselves, the fees are not meant to be “revenue raising.” The new compensation rates will affect the following positions: Compensation for board members on both the plan- Caledonia firefighters aiming for April 21 full-time start Greg Chandler Contributing writer Caledonia Township Fire Rescue has hired five full­ time firefighters as the department moves closer to providing around-the-clock service startin! II later this month. Fire Chief Scott Siler told the township Public Safety Advisory Committee Tuesday that two firefighters who have previously been on-call were recently hired during an internal search, while three others were added during an external search process. Siler has set Easter Sunday -April 21 - as the target date for beginning full-time fire coverage for the township. Four of the five new hires have been training with the department, with the fifth to join on Monday. Siler and Capt. Kyle Fennell who, up until now, have been the only full-time firefighters, have been in charge of training the recruits, and Siler is pleased with the quality of the new firefighters. “The people we hired are not people that are new to fire service,” he said. “They’re picking up quick on our trucks, our pumps. We’re working with them hand-in­ hand.” Siler has put together a staffing plan that will include two firefighters at the station on weekends and three during the week. Each of the full-time firefighters will take one overnight shift each week. The chief will present the staffing plan to the township board on Wednesday. Siler began moving the Fire Rescue team toward becoming a full-time department last year after voters in August overwhelmingly approved a 1.993 mill, sixyear levy on fire and law enforcement services in the township. About 70 percent of those who cast ballots in the election favored the tax. Under the previous staff­ ing model that has been in place for the last six years, Siler and Fennell staffed the day shift from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. on weekdays, while part-timers signed up to work the evening and overnight shifts. However, the burden for weekend coverage often fell to on-call firefighters, according to the chief. “With the model we’re going for, we’ll get a truck out the door right away (in the event of a call),” Siler said. The department will con­ tinue to use paid on-call firefighters to supplement the full-time staff. Currently, the department has 18 paid on-call firefighters, though those numbers could change as the department moves to 24/7 coverage, Siler said. . In other business at Tuesday’s meeting, the PSAC discussed the annual department open house, which is typically held in October in conjunction with Fire Prevention Week.

Bob Wenger wasn’t the type of person those who met him would soon forget. Verne “Bob” Robert Wenger, age 87, of Mid­ dleville, died on Saturday, April 6, 2019 at his home on Bender Road. He decided he did all the damage he could this side of heaven. A funeral service will take place April 12, 2019 at 11 a.m. at the United Methodist Church in Middleville. In lieu of flowers, Bob’s family request memorial contributions be made to Middleville United Meth­ odist Church or the Travis Wenger Memorial Scholar­ ship Fund. Much of what follows was written by Bob himself, or as he put it, “This story of my life is being written by a mind that forgets.” I started out life on March 26, 1932 being bom at home on 76th Street in Gaines Twp., Kent County. My brother Chris was bom Au­ gust 11, 1936 not far from where I was bom. To get back to my life, my dad (Verne), my mother (Be­ atrice), my brother Chris, and my Uncle Joe moved to In­ diana for one year, and then back to Michigan. Mom, Dad, Chris and I lived in the Caledonia area until 1940. In the fall of 1946, I started high school at TK; what a big jump for a country boy! One of my biggest worries was to remember my locker number. As time went on, new friends were made and I started to learn the ropes of high school. Being a farm boy, Ag and shop were my favorite classes. After learning the ropes of high school I noticed the difference between boys and ;irls. As time passed and shopping around, I picked out this special sweetheart that lived west of town. Her name was Helen Cridler. Helen and I were married in 1953 and we had six chil­ dren; Christina, Martin, Phil 5 7m t * A r * I Mary, Dan, and Thad. In 1960, we moved to the farm­ stead of Helen’s folks’ (Bill and Blanche Cridler) located on Cherry Valley. With the help of Helen and the family, I was able to get involved with Farm Bureau, Caledonia Farmers Elevator, two State Co-Ops, and the Thomapple Kellogg School Board. I think the proudest ac­ complishment was when I received the American Farm­ er Degree from the FFA, the ever had only one that I owe my Ag teacher Elton Lawrence a big thanks. I also owe TK schools a lot, they have provided myself,5 my children, my grandchildren, and now great-grandchildren an education that sets them up for success. Another ac­ complishment I’m proud of is having received the Thor­ napple Kellogg School’s Alumni of the Year. After being involved with different organizations in agriculture, I started to go downhill - I got involved in politics, I served 12 years on the Barry County Board of Commissioners. One of my proudest accomplishments there was my role in helping create a countywide 911 sys­ tem. They told me when I re­ tired I’d have more time to relax. I don’t know about that. Helen and I were snow­ birds for a while. We would spend four months in Arizo­ na and the rest of the year here in Middleville, makin a you folks glad we spent at least four months in Arizona. The favorite thing about being a father, grandfather, and great grandfather is see- ing the kids’ different person­ alities - I am proud of them all. Quite a group! The hardest thing was the death of my grandson Travis. We were in Arizona when I got the phone call - that Rolland G. Cox knocked the wind out of my MIDDLEVILLE, MI sails. Rolland “ Roily ” G.

His reply, “I have a football team, a water boy, a manager, _ and four_ cheerleaders. ” As for great-grandchi 1dren, Bob was blessed with an abundance of them and he is well on his way to filling up a stadium.

Irving Township Clerk Sharon Olson officially pre­ sented some historic docu­ ments from the 1976 presi­ dential election - padlocked wooden boxes containing paper ballots - to the board of the Freeport Historical Society at the township board meeting Wednesday. The ballots were taken to Irving Township Hall after being discovered at the Freeport Library about a year ago. “It was when a new roof was being installed on a por­ tion of the library,” Olson Sisi's This box was filled with paper ballots from the presi­ dential election in November 1976.

I guess no one knew what should be done with them, so they were brought here.” The boxes are worn and look far older than the docu­ ments they contain. They have slots for inserting the ballots and they were closed, secured with padlocks. Their existence is a mystery, Olson said, because when villages managed their own election ballots, the bal­ lots could be legally destroyed after 22 months and usually were. Perhaps they were saved because of the signifi­ cance of the year - 1976 the bicentennial. Also, a West Michigan man - Gerald R. Ford - was the presiden- tial candidate on those ballots, and that brought the national race closer to home. In any case, Olson said the township board is planning to take two the large official ballots and frame them to decorate the walls of the township hall at 3425 Wing Road.

The district was notified of the award in late March and will have until June 2020 to complete proj­ ects funded by the grant. The district will use funds to improve security measures at all buildings in the district. The grant includes funds for additional lockdown lights and warnings at each build­ ing, an additional keycard entry door at the high school, exterior door signage to more efficiently direct emer­ gency personnel to affected areas within each of the buildings and a protective glass film for glass in the highest traffic entry areas of all the buildings. Funds awarded will be disbursed throughout the district. The high school proj­ ects total nearly $50,000 as do the middle school proj­ ects. Page Elementary proj­ ects are about $28,000; Lee is about $3,600 and McFall is $5,400. The learning center, that houses preschool classes, will also get the exterior door signage at a cost of about $825. “The safety of all our stu­ dents and staff every day is a top priority,” Superintendent Rob Blitchok said. “With from the the these funds from Michigan State Police Grant we will be able to add extra It levels of safety for all of our buildings. This is not a matching matching grant, grant, so so these these measures measures are are not not costing costing the the district any funds.” The district has a detailed safety plan that is reviewed often. also has two fulltime resource officers who help identify areas where improvements should be made and work to build relationships with students. Both resource officers, Tony Stein and Jeff Nieuwenhuis are retired from the Barry County Sheriff’s Department and have close working relationships with local law enforcement. The grant application was supported by the Barry County Sheriff’s Department and the Barry consultant - the fire was found to be caused by a com­ bination of factors. A plume of natural gas released by the safety fire-gate system was the fuel source. Air outside of the plant mixed with the nat­ ural gas due to high winds. And, extremely hot equipment caused the natural gas­ air mixture to ignite. “Consumers Energy’s review found no evidence of failure to properly maintain our equipment, according to the statement. “We look forward to working with the MPSC as they complete their own independent analysis on the cause of the fire and our subsequent response. k ■-.-srkoS 7 them to achieve their dreams under the safest possible conditions.” Michigan State Police said 135 public school districts, 66 non-public schools, 20 public charter schools and nine intermediate school districts/regional educational service agencies received grants. “The fire at the Ray Station was precipitated by a safety venting fire-gate process that is proven safe and effective. However, under unique and extreme weather conditions, the process became hazard­ ous. We plan to address the issue at the Ray Compressor Station and implement new procedures across our natural gas fleet to further enhance resiliency and help avoid failure in these extraordinary circumstances. “We appreciate and thank our customers across Michigan for all they did to help Consumers Energy and their neighbors during the unprecedented January event,” the statement con­ cluded. Consumers Energy pro­ vides natural gas and/or elec­ tricity to 6.7 million of the state’s 10 million residents in all 68 Lower Peninsula coun­ ties. The Michigan State Board of Education has narrowed the list of applicants for the next state superintendent to five candidates. “It was a difficult decision to narrow it down to five because we had so many highly qualified candidates, It was a really tough choice,” State Board of Education President Casandra E. Ulbrich said. “They have varying degrees of back­ grounds. We’re going to have a really diverse group of peo­ ple with very different back­ grounds.” After reviewing all 51 applicants with its hired executive search firm, Ray & Associates, the state board agreed to bring in the follow­ ing candidates April 22 and 24 for public interviews.

Those finalists will sit in for a public interview May 7, after which the board is expected to select the next state state superintendent. superintendent. In addition to preliminary discussions with state board members on what skills and attributes they’d like to see in the next state superintendent, Ray & Associates conducted conversations with education stakeholders and top policy­ makers in Michigan, as well as background checks of the applicants, “We wanted to make sure we had a lot of different per­ spectives,” Ulbrich said. “This has been a very open, transparent, and inclusive process.” The April 5 selection dis­ cussion was conducted in closed sessions to respect those applicants who requested confidentiality in the initial phase of the process. Applications came - in from 11 states. The state board of education is granted the responsi­ bility to appoint a state the superintendent by 4 Michigan Constitution. The state superintendent is the principal executive officer of the Michigan Department of Education and is chairperson of the state board without the right to vote and shall be responsible for implementing its policies, and has all the powers and duties pro­ vided by law. The state superintendent is responsible for the day-today management, supervi­ sion, and leadership of the Michigan Department of Education. The superinten­ dent is responsible for devel­ oping cooperative working relationships with other gov­ ernment departments; the governor’s office; the state legislature; and constituent groups, in service of SBE policy and the Michigan’s Top 10 in 10 strategic plan for improving education. This top education position became open last spring upon the death of State Superintendent Brian Whiston.

Bluhm is a junior, entering her third season on the Trojan varsity. She said she plays soccer year round and does 4H in the summer - and that fills up most of her free time. She’s been in the CATS FC program for eight or nine years. She said nearly all of her teammates are involved in some kind of club or travel program. Strickland was honest with his girls at halftime Thursday. TK controlled much of the first half against the Pioneers, and managed a handful of comer kicks and couple solid outside blasts from Ellie Adams, but couldn’t find the back of the net. “It felt like the first half we played okay at times, but not great honestly. We had opportunities. We didn’t take advantage of those. We want­ ed to come out in the second half and really play hard and physical, and they really did that against us. They came out, I felt like, stronger and more prepared than our girls. “What was great about our team was the resilience, not stopping, especially being down a goal. That is always hard. For them to do the things that we’ve been talking about and get a win that’s great.” EGR came out strong in the second half. Pioneer freshman Audrey Williamson beat a couple of TK defend­ ers at the top of the box and “It is special, it really is. I didn’t think the day would come, but honestly it is pretty neat just to say that you’re in that position. I’ve had the opportunity to coach incredible players, which obviously is helpful. And really, my assistants have been incredible over the years... It has been great.” Joel Strickland TK varsity girls’ soccer head coach freshman midfielder Kiah Nichols, earned the assist on both of the Trojan goals. “It started with our defense and worked up to our holding mids and they did a good job of finding Kia in the middle there,” Strickland said. “She just did a perfect job of attacking it and finding the slot and giving that ball up both times.” The first goal came with 25:38 to play. Adams carried it up the right sideline and centered a pass to Carmen Beemer at the top of the Pioneers’ goal box. Beemer turned towards, with a cou­ ple defenders between her back and the goal, and passed the ball over to Nichols on the left side of the box. Nichols shot it in for fellow freshman Ainsiey Oliver to finish off. Nine and a half minutes later, Nichols got the ball to Bluhm on the left side of the EGR net and Bluhm ripped a high shot to the near side that blew through the Pioneer keeper’s fingertips and into the upper 90. Bluhm said she and her teammates just needed to slow down a little bit and work together a little better. “After the first goal we all kind of started getting it back together. It was kind of like »»» ‘oh, hey, there it is, let’s go, she said. For the most part, the Trojan defense was solid, preventing EGR from challenging keeper Tristen Cross much. The Trojans are now 3-1 overall this season. They will be at home in the OK Gold Conference again on Monday hosting Grand Rapids Christian. 4 * * •> Sif Hr PERSONALIZED • Jr MUCS 1< HAPPY EASTH MEMA FOR ALL OCCASIONS % I �f.J *.< * 1 ¥ I 5 ■ * >•- 1 • 1 > 4 The Sun and News, Saturday, April 13, 2019/ Page 9 Plans being made for chances to state hockey, basketball and soccer tournaments I An adjustment to the Ice Hockey Tournament schedule was the most notable action taken by the Representative Council of the Michigan High School Association Athletic (MHSAA) during its annual Winter Meetinge March 22 in Grand Rapids, while a num­ ber of additional topics were discussed in advance of expected votes at its next meeting. The Council heard updates on proposed seeding plans from the Basketball and Soccer Committees, along with a summary of how seed­ ing currently is utilized in boys lacrosse and team wres­ tling. The Council also dis­ cussed a Football Committee recommendation that would change the strength-ofschedule formula used to determine qualifiers for the MHSAA II-Player Playoffs, and reviewed results of a survey of varsity head coaches on the topic. Both seeding proposals and the football strength-of-schedule proposal will be voted upon in May.

On April 6, the Freeport Area Volunteer Fire Department celebrated the Yarger brothers at its annual department dinner. Russ Yarger has been a part of the FAVFD for 50 years fulfilling roles of firefighter, fire chief and currently as the president of the FAVFD Fire Board. Younger brother, Jim, has been in the fire service for 40 years as part of both Hastings and Freeport departments and currently serving as Freeport fire chief. The Yarger name has long been associated with service to the community. Richard, the boys’ father, served as the Carlton Township supervisor and their mother, Juanita, worked as Barry County Treasurer. Members of area fire departments, past and present, attended the evening event and shared stories of early firefighting in the Freeport area. Words of thanks were also shared with the Yarger brothers for their guidance, inspiration and leadership. '!««i *» I* * ' JJ| Si I, .* t!3W.1 . I tasiia .

The private hauler will not pick up the following: petroleum-based products, toxic chemicals, paint, motor vehicle parts, building demolition or construction materials (including concrete), batteries, food wastes, animal wastes and carcasses and any other materials deemed to be hazardous. (See below) Refrigerators and other appliances will be picked up but must have all air tight doors completely detached for safety reasons. . The annual Spring Clean-Up Day is financed by Village property taxes and is only for Village residents and property owners. Any Village resident allowing Spring Clean-Up items from outside the Village will forfeit their pickup. If unauthorized waste items are mixed in with authorized waste items, the result will be that no items will be collected from that residence. If items are placed out at the curb after the waste hauler has made the scheduled one sweep of the Village, the resident will be responsible for disposing of those items and any expense related to that disposal.

The formidable Bulldogs scored three goals in the first 30 minutes against the visit­ ing Scots Thursday. The Caledonia girls were able to clamp down on the defensive end as the contest progressed and limit their hosts the rest of the way. The Scots own scoring chances were few and far between however. The Scots started the eve­ ning with some promising chances that they couldn’t convert Tuesday against Grand Haven, and controlled a majority of possession throughout the first half. With roughly three minutes remaining inthe first half, Grand Haven scored the first goal of the game off a throw in play that led to a long dis­ tance shot from the wing that just went in under the cross­ bar and over the outstretched arm of the Scots’ keeper. From that point, Caledonia began chasing the equalizing goal and again had chances that they just could not finish. Grand Haven scored the final goal of the evening midway through the second half with a long ball through to one of their forwards who placed the ball out in front of her and finished her one-onone chance. Coach Paul Kramer was happy with the strides his girls made with their play in creating quality chances and maintaining possession possession against a very quality OK Red opponent. Kirsti Weninger played a good game as a defensive midfielder for the Scots, breaking up plays in the mid­ die and linking play to the wingers and central mid­ fielders. Bella Knoll and Ellee Fairchild had strong games patrolling their sides as outside defenders, and distributing the ball up the wings. Holly Bowling and Kelsie Scharp were also very dangerous on the wings ere- ating chances for their team­ mates in the middle. Scot goalkeeper Kendall Krupiczewicz came up with 7 saves on the evening. Caledonia is slated to face South Christian today (April 13) at noon. The Scots return to OK Red Conference play by hosting East Kentwood and visiting Tuesday Hudsonville Thursday. .

In 2018, the average tax refund was about $2,700. For this year, it might be somewhat lower, due to changes in the tax laws and the failure of taxpayers to adjust their withholdings in response.

Let’s face it - nobody really likes paying insurance pre­ miums. Yet, if you have any­ one depending on you, you will certainly need life insur­ ance, and possibly disability insurance as well.

Your tax refund could help pay for some of these premiums, boosting your cash flow during the months you would normally be making these payments. • Contribute to a college fund. It’s never too soon to begin saving for college, which has grown increasing­ ly expensive over the last several years. So, if you have young children, you may want to think about investing some or all of your refund a college-savings into account, such as a tax-advantaged 529 plan, • Pay off debts. You might be able to use your refund to pay down some debts - or perhaps even pay off some of your smaller ones. The lower your monthly debt load, the more ]money you will have available to invest for the future. Keep in mind, though, that you might not want to look at all debts in the same way. For example, putting extra money toward your mortgage might help you pay it off faster, but you’ll also be funding•a an asset — namely, your house — that might not provide you with the same liquidity as you can get from invest­ ments such as stocks and bon(js • Help build an emergency fund. By building an emergency fund containing six to 12 months’ worth of living expenses, you can help yourself avoid dipping into your long-term investments to pay for large, unplanned-for bills, such as a major car repair or an expensive dental procedure. Your tax refund could help build such a fund, with the money ideally being placed in low-risk, liquid vehicles. Clearly, you can help yourself make progress toward a number of your financial goals with your tax refund so put it to good use.

The district typically spends about $200,000 annually on replacement buses. "That [purchase) just fits in that same cycle that we have been on,” DeVries said. DeVries told board mem­ bers the district usually has purchased buses that are coming off a lease, as opposed to buying new. The acquisition approved this week, she said, marked the first time the district had approved the purchase of two new buses during a funding cycle. cycle. We're trying to improve the overall fleet, but at a rate we handle." can Dedrick Superintendent Martin said. “I want all new buses, but I'm afraid the budget is not there yet." 4* Greg Chandler Contributing Writer An online program for sci­ ence, technology, engineer­ ing and mathematics educa­ tion could soon be coming to Community Caledonia Schools. The district’s board of education Monday reviewed a proposal from Superintendent Dedrick Martin to establish the Tech Trep program, beginning in the fall at Duncan Lake and Kraft Meadows middle schools. Eventually, the pro­ gram could filter down to students as youn as third grade, and to younger stu­ dents at Caledonia High School. “Our goal is to create an individualized online plat­ form that covers about 20 different possible career areas," Martin said. Janel Switzer, the district's curriculum director, said courses would be offered in four broad subject areas: business and entrepreneur­ ship; digital media; program­ ming, coding and gaming; and robotics and engineering “Within that [platform], students can work individually, but there can also be group projects that students can work on together, that would be facilitated by the classroom teacher." Switzer said. “It’s a nice balance in providing independent work, but also allow ing kids collab­ oration." Martin also indicated that the platform is flexible enough to allow' students to complete modules at home during nights and weekends. Modules would vary in length from eight to 14 weeks. The Caledonia district is considering two different licensing options for use of the Tech Trep platform, a * one-year annual license and a three-year license. The com­ pany behind the platform has offered the district two addi­ tional years of licensing free of charge if the school board chooses the three-vear option, Martin said. If the district moves ahead with the proposal, Martin said he envisions a “STEM Fest" event this summer to generate interest in the pro­ gram. “We see this as an integral part of what our kids will need in the future, regardless of what profession they go into,” he said. Half of the funding for the platform would come out of the current fiscal year bud­ get, with the remainder to come from the 2019-20 bud­ get. Martin said. The Tech Trep proposal is expected to come up for board vote at its next meeting on Monday, May 20. TK school board approves strategic plan; hears parks and rec update al report.

During March’s reading month focus, students were challenged and encouraged to participate in the Battle of the Books. According to Diane Knight of the Page Elementary library, the fourth and fifth grade stu­ dents were asked to read a *1 Oti minimum of two books from a select list. The list is made up of four categories, according to a student's level of reading/comprehension. The students then competed with classmates to crown a class winner. Students answered ques­ tions from a parent panel about the books they had read. 7 he winner from each classroom then competed in the school-wide final compe­ tition in the high school audi­ torium. IP 1 Ito tins® /’iNISm Page classroom finalists competed in the high school auditorium for the overall school champion title. Battle of the Books encourages students to not only read, but retain facts and information from the books, which helps them Antenna Men comprehend more, “It gets the students excit­ ed about reading and show­ casing their knowledge of the books they have read,” Knight said. Carmen Reynolds outlast- ed everyone in the battle Friday afternoon, April 12, and was crowned the Battle of the Books Champion, Logan Cruz finished as run­ ner-up.

The DDA will fulfill the grant with annual payments of $3,000 over the course of the next four years; the first payment was approved at Tuesday’s meeting. The motion was approved by a 7-0 vote; board member Jeff McCormick was absent. In an effort to boost public awareness of the DDA, the board approved an expenditure of of $339 $339 to to place place aa quarquarture ter-page advertisement about the the Middleville Middleville DDA DDA in in the the upcoming Middleville Rotary Club community directory. The motion was approved by a 7-0 vote. The DDA approved the purchase of 1000 Riverbank Music Series magnets at a cost not to exceed $500. The magnets will have the dates of all the different music per­ formance of the 2019 Riverbank Music Series. The motion was approved by a 7-0 vote. In other news, the board will allow board member Jason Bushman to sell a multitude of carnival games and inflatable bouncy houses that the DDA currently possesses, This decision was made because the DDA will no longer be able to store these items at its current location. In addition, board members indicated a lack of enthusi­ asm to keep and maintain the items. At the end of the meeting, DDA chairwoman Ann Ulberg informed the board that the search committee had settled on an applicant to replace Michael Schmidt as DDA director and will be extending an offer to the candidate. If that offer is accepted, she said, Schmidt will stay on to help with the transition of the new DDA director until at least the start of June. l Wfj w .

The combination of Kenzie Kramer and Holly Bowling finally broke down the East Kentwood defense seven minutes into the sec­ ond half to score the game’s opening goal, and the Scots had a few near misses that kept them from having a larger lead late in the bail­ game.

The Scots thought they had broken through with under a minute to play in the first half when Kramer deliv­ ered a diagonal ball from the midfield to Bowling who beat the keeper to slot the ball into the back of the net.

Caledonia almost put the game away with a thunder­ ous shot from 18 yards out from Kelsie Scharp on the right wing that rattled the top crossbar and eventually got cleared out. • EK’s resolve showed as they battled back for much of the second half looking for the equalizing goal.

The Caledonia varsity girls’ lacrosse team improved to 2-0 in the OK Conference Tier II with an 11-7 win over visiting Lowell in a bailgame that was delayed a bit by the quick thunderstorms that blew through Wednesday afternoon. Lowell managed to cut a four-goal Caledonia lead down to two with 10:42 to play, but Schneider answered with two quick goals to put her team in front 11-7 with 9:20 to play and that was how things ended on the scoreboard. Schneider, a senior mid­ fielder, scored six of her team’s 11 goals. She was honored Wednesday morn­ ing for her plans to play lacrosse at Niagra University, Pullen, a senior attacker, has signed with Alma College to continue her playing days. Pullen had one of her team's nicest assists of the evening, firingg a pass out from behind the goal to Schneider for a score with 30 seconds to go in the first half. Pullen then netted a goal of her own two and half minutes into the second half, coming out from behind the net with the ball herself and floating a shot over the low­ ell keeper to give her team a 7-4 lead at the time. Caledonia won the draw and raced right down for a goal by sophomore attacker Hannah Huebner and an 8-4 lead. (6 We are working on ball possession.

(Photo by Brett Bremer) Middleville council prohibits recreational marijuana businesses Ian Watson Contributing Writer A unanimous vote by the Middleville Village Council approved prohibiting all rec­ reational marijuana business­ es from operating within the village boundaries. Assistant Village Manager and Planning and Zoning Administrator Brian Urquhart explained that the ordinance adopted by the council at its April 23 meeting amends the existing zoning ordinance which had previously prohib­ ited only medical marijuana businesses from operating within the village. Now that ordinance also will prohibit recreational “marijuana facilities, mari­ juana establishments, mari­ juana growers, marijuana safety compliance facilities, marijuana processors, mari­ juana retailers, and marijuana secure transports in any [Village] zoning districts." Urquhart clarified that the village is not opting out in perpetuity and that the plan­ ning, commission , would* revisit the ordinance in January 2020 after the state has set its regulations. The state has a deadline of December 2019 to set regula­ tions for recreational mari­ juana businesses. “The intent is to revisit it and then make a recommendation based on the rules we have,” council member and planning commission member Mike Cramer said. ‘‘There’s no reason the council can't look at it soon­ er," Cramer added. Urquhart agreed. These comments reassured council member Ed Schellinger. the After meeting, Schellinger said he had some concern that this might be the last time the council discuss­ es the topic. “I didn't want it to be dead," he said.

Meengs V, Avery Jackson, Nicholas Jackson and Ryan Jackson. He is also survived by his dear friends at the Barry County Sheriff's Department. He was preceded in death by his parents, Frank A. and Betty J. Jackson, and Nancy’s parents, Marvin and Theresa Zwiers. Larry always put his family first, often turning down promotions in the early years of his career to make sure that his children grew up in close proximity to their grandparents. He eventually left employment with Federal Express to feed his entrepreneurial spirit. Since the early 1990s, he owned and operated many successful business ventures. Through those business ventures, he touched the lives of many. Several years ago, he worked tirelessly to rebuild a vehicle as an auction item to benefit the Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors. While he enjoyed success as a business owner, his true passions were fishing and being on the water with Nancy, going for long rides with Nancy in their Mustang convertible, and sharing, time with family and friends.

More than 3 million cases are diagnosed each year, Melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, kills one person every hour. Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States.

The Caledonia varsity girls’ soccer team fought to a 1-1 draw with the defending OK Red Conference champi­ ons from Rockford, the fifth ranked team in the state in Division 1, Tuesday at Scotland Yard in Caledonia. The Fighting Scots continue to work for their first OK Red Conference victory of the season and now sit at 0-2-3 in the conference. They have finished four of their last five games in a draw. Against the speedy, talented Rams a 1-1 tie was a solid outcome for the Caledonia girls. The Scots had the lead in the bailgame, getting a goal from Kelsie Scharp with three minutes to go in the opening half. The first half saw both teams go back and forth for the first 15 minutes of action. Rockford repeatedly tried to release their forwards on runs only to be caught offsides eight times in the first half by a very calm and disciplined Caledonia back line of Bella Knoll, Katie Klomparens, Kristi Weninger and Ellee Fairchild. The Scots’ Kristi Weninger delivered a ball into the left comer that Holly Bowling was able to track down in the lead-up to their team’s goal. Bowling delivered a beauti­ ful cross to the opposite side of the penalty area. The ball momentarily got over the head of the right winger, Scharp, but she was able to readjust and turn her body 180 degrees and managed a kick that lofted the ball over the Rockford goalkeeper into the back of the net.

Plainwell played Plainwell played more more inspired soccer for a bit before the Caledonia rri«*ie girls began to really fight back. The Scots’ best chance came with five minutes to play. Lewandowski beat a Trojan defender and put a cross into the penalty area that was tipped just enough by the Trojan defense to keep Kramer from staying on top of the ball. She ripped a shot that flew just over the cross­ bar. Kramer, Lewandowski, Bowling and Scharp had kept pressure on the Trojan back­ line for much of the first half of the bailgame. Because of injuries sustamed die previous Thursday in a 0-0 tie with Hudsonville, the Scots moved defensive midfielder Weninger to a center back position along­ side Klomparens and the two paired nicely together there, Carmen Maas. Cate Maas, Shirilla and Malia Bauman filled midfield roles for the Scots and worked hard to win one-v-one battles in the middie and to distribute the ball up to the forwards and wings. The Scots will host West Ottawa Tuesday and visit Grand Haven Thursday in the week ahead in the OK Red. . Trojans golfers sixth at a pair of OK Gold jamborees The Thomapple Kellogg varsity boys’ golf team placed sixth at the OK Gold Conference jamboree hosted by Wayland at Orchard Hills Golf Course Wednesday afternoon. The host Wildcats took the day’s championship with a SC°re°fl47' 1' increase its intensity looking for an equalizing goal. The Rams finally were able to level the game in the 55th minute when a bad clearance pass wound up at the foot of a Rams player whose shot deflected just into the far post past Caledonia goalkeeper Kendall Krupiczewicz. momen-­ At that point the momen turn tum had clearly shifted to the Rams, and the Fighting Scots absorbed more pressure looking for their opportunity to counter with their opponent pushing more numbers forward. The moment came with under a minute to play where the ball was cleared to Kenzie Kramer at midfield. She dribbled forward looking for the perfect passing lane, She found one going directly to the feet of her other forward Amber Lewandowski who rifled a laser shot at the Rockford keeper that bounced off her hands and unfortunately for Caledonia could not be tracked down for another shot. The Scots’ Klomparens and Weninger shut down much of the Rams attack from their center back positions throughout the evening, Carmen Maas and Cate Shirilla battled in the mid­ field the Scots. Lexa Nelson also provided some valuable minutes up top for Caledonia to supplement the fine attack from Scharp and Bowling, Krupiczewicz was solid in goal with 13 saves on the evening. The Scots return to action at Portage Northern today, April 27, at 10 a.m. The Scots were playing their second game in two nights Tuesday after a 1-0 & Forest Hills Eastern was second with a score of 153, ahead of East Grand Rapids 159, Grand Rapids Christian 161, South Christian 173, Thomapple Kellogg 178 and Wyoming 217.

The Duncan Lake Cancer Walk will mark its 11th year Friday, May 10. All proceeds will go to the Van Andel Institute. Over the years, the walk and related events have raised nearly $150,000 for the Van Andel Institute's research efforts to find treat­ ments for cancer and Parkinson's disease. Last year’s 10th anniver­ sary walk was a record-set­ ter, with more than $28,000 raised. Organizers have set a $16,000 goal for this year. Liz Alexander, an adviser to the student council at Duncan Lake, has been the walk coordinator since its beginning. “I think [cancer] is some­ thing that affects us, and it gives kids a chance to feel empowered, that they can make a difference,” she said. The event marks the culmination of a number of activities over the past month at the school tied to fundrais­ ing efforts, she said. “Right before spring break, we have a kickoff assembly where we have cancer survivors, where peo­ ple talk about loved ones they’ve lost to cancer,” Thornapple Kellogg ning the 100-meter dash in 13.29 seconds, the 200-meter girls’ track and field upped its OK Gold dash in 28.55 and the 400j record to 3-0 meter dash in a personal a 106-31 iuo-ji win at record time of 1 minute 1.97 ling Wednesday. seconds.

She'll be spend­ ing her first few days meet­ ing with teachers, adminis­ trators and building princi­ pals, and putting together a plan to provide special edu­ cation services for the dis­ trict. “I truly believe that all students have the right, and we have the obligation, to provide all students the opportunity to become the best possible version of themselves," Dubuisson said. A veteran educator with more than 30 years of experi­ ence, Dubuisson comes to Caledonia from the Allegan Area Educational Service Agency, a countywide interThe Duncan Lake Cakewalk is part of the school’s Cancer Walk fundraiser, (Photos mediate school district made provided by Liz Alexander.)

Last fall, several students were able to visit the institute and meet with scientists to learn more about research efforts there, Alexander said. The students' efforts to raise funds for the institute have not gone unnoticed. Last year, the school received the Carol Van Andel Angel of Excellence Award for its continued support of the institute. The community still can contribute to this year’s walk.

Kent County DPW to close recycling drop-off station ♦ * * (Utfli* r sfl '' ■ ■ vir n The Kent County Department of Public Works Monday announced the Kentwood recycling drop-off station located at the Kentwood Public Works Facility will close June 30. “With improved access to curbside recycling in southern Kent County over the past decade and increasing operational cost of public drop-off sites, we are closing the Kentwood recycling drop-off station so that we can focus on recycling edu­ cation and material process­ ing provided at the Kent County Recycling and Education Center," Dar Baas, Kent County DPW director, said. “We understand this change may create an incon­ venience for some residents. Reducing the amount of waste that goes to landfills continues to be our top prior­ ity, and we encourage resi­ dents to add curbside recy­ cling to their trash service." For residents in apart- ments, condominiums or other multifamily dwellings impacted by the closure, the county now offers a grant program for property manag­ ers to include recycling for tenants. (More information is available by emailing recycle@kentcountymi.gov or calling 616-632-7920.) This closure is not related to global recycling markets or China’s decision to stop importing recyclables. Kent County maintains strong out­ lets for sorted recyclables in the Midwest and Canada, Baas said in a press release. The DPW operated a recy­ cling drop-off station at Kentwood Public Works Facility, 5068 Breton Road in Kentwood, under a five-year agreement beginning in 2007, providing recycling for residents when access to curbside collection service was limited or they lived where property managers contracted for waste collec­ tion services. Kent County f continued totooperate operatethe thesite site continued beyond theinitial agreement until it was determined that access to on-site or curbside recycling was widely available, Residents affected by the closure should contact their local waste hauler or inquire with their property manager for services and pricing. Kent County DPW will continue to provide drop-off recycling stations at the Recycling and Education Center, 977 Wealthy St. SW, Grand Rapids (MondayFriday, 7:30 a.m.-5 p.m., closed holidays); and at the North Kent Recycling and Waste Center, 2908 Ten Mile Road, Rockford, (MondaySaturday, 7:30 a.m.-5 p.m., closed holidays). The website reimaginetrash.org has additional infor­ mation on how and where to properly dispose of materials in Kent County. “Even semester (here was some type of practical expe­ rience," she said. “That helped solidify my decision that this was the plan for me." Dubuisson's past experi­ ence includes a five-year stint as director of instruc­ tional services and two years as an elementary principal and special education super­ visor for Fennville Public Schools. She also taught elementary students in South Haven for 13 years. The Caledonia school dis­ trict currently has 565 stu­ dents enrolled in special edu­ cation programs, making up 11.7 percent of the district's total enrollment. In addition to her bache­ lor's degree from Hope College, Dubuisson holds a master's degree in elementa­ ry reading and literacy from Walden University in Minneapolis, and an educa­ tional specialist in leadership degree from Grand Valley State University.

Swartz, a senior, put his comedic voice talents to use last week in the talent portion of the Mr. CHS Pageant at the Caledonia High Performing Arts Center. Using three different hats - including an ushanka, a furry hat with ear flaps com­ with monly associated Russian culture, — Swartz changed voices on the fly as he put on different hats, alter­ nating between a Russian, a Scottish professor and a New York City cab driver, while playing with a Rubik’s cube. His performance helped him win first place and a $400 prize in the third annual com­ petition. A veteran of several CHS theater productions, Swartz said he developed his Russian voice characterization from his father. “My dad went to Russia, and he showed me how to do a Russian accent. That was my first foray into acting," he said. “I used that accent in my first play, ‘ You Can't Take It with You.' Then, I went on and developed more accents, and I thought, ‘You know, I could do this to make people laugh. This was the first time Swartz competed in the Mr. CHS pageant. “I’m as amazed as much as anyone else that I won, he said. After graduation, Swartz plans to pursue a degree in computer security and will join the Michigan National Guard to help pay for his education. But he will con­ tinue to keep up his interest in theater as well. “[The National Guard] a very good option for paying M I- Jaden Herrema plays the guitar during the talent por­ tion of the Mr. CHS Pageant.

They're look­ ing for real-world experi­ ence.” Alex Le, who played a piano solo for his talent, took second place among the 11 competitors, winning a $100 prize.

Forest Hills Eastern built a 6-2 lead through the opening 20 minutes of action Thursday, but the Caledonia boys rallied to pull within 6-5 at the half thanks to goals from Carter Osborn, Jobe Anderson and Jack Buchmann that all came within a span of 67 seconds. Osborn started the surge by flipping a soft bouncer in from the right side of the Hawks'net with 3:20 to go in the second quarter. Osborn also started the surge that led to the next Caledonia goal, 27 seconds later, collecting a Hawk turn­ over just north of midfield and firing a centering pass to Griffin Poll. Poll found Anderson ahead just to the left of the Hawk net and he turned and whipped a shot by FHE goalkeeper Brandon Pham. Buchmann did much of the work himself to get the Scots within a goal, stealing the ball away from the Hawks after the draw and going end to end for a shot that made it 6-5 with 2:13 to go in the half. The Hawks’ Sam Bowen scored with a man-advantage for the Hawks two minutes into the second half, and Forest Hills Eastern never slowed down. The Hawks upped their lead to 15-5 by the end of the third quarter. Senior face-off specialist Patterson Alward dominated for the Hawks, making pos­ sessions few and far between for the Fighting Scots during the second half. Alward snagged one face-off and raced right in for a shot and score in the opening half. He finished with two goals. Brady Herrema scored the lone goal for the Fighting Scots in the second half, with 1:50 left to play. Osborn and Poll scored the first two goals of the game for Caledonia. Bowen had a team-high five goals for the Hawks. John Morgan and Kevin Sprague had four goals apiece and Ethan Johns added three. Kaden Dietrich and David Charron each scored once. Pham was stellar in net for much of the evening for the Hawks as well. He had a few excellent saves in the first half that prevented the Scots from being even or in the lead at the intermission. The Hawks moved the ball around well in the offensive end and took advantage of space behind the net to find teammates crashing the net throughout the second half. 9 iJti • I I!

They spent some time playing bingo and getting ready for lunch. Klasiena Vandenburg, who had stopped in to visit a friend at Carveth Village, was surprised to see all of the students. She was even more surprised to see how it affect­ ed her friend. “It’s the first time I’ve come here and seen her real­ ly, really happy,” she said. “It’s so nice to see so many kids here today.” Lee Elementary School third-graders flocked around high school student Joe DinkeL He and other high school students helped in classrooms and, just by being there, became positive role models.

They also cleaned and cleared branches and limbs along the Thomapple - Paul Henry Trail, “I like that we get to be outside for the day, and it's fun to get to do something different,” Josie Thompson said as she plucked weeds out of the village flower beds. Working alongside her were Emma Fabiano and John Plummer. They all agreed the high school service day is something that should happen every year and maybe even more than once a year. From the Barry Expo Center and and Camp Camp Manitoulin Manitoulin Center to Spring Spring Park, Park, the the Crane Crane to Road ballfields and the Thornapple - Paul Henry Trail, about 400 students worked outside all morning. Those who stayed at the high school found plenty of projects they could do, as well. Students sewed sleep­ ing bags for the homeless, painted kindness rocks and transformed plain brown paper lunch bags into joyful and colorful bags for Kids Food Basket. Others created inspirational and cheerful tags for IV bags at De Vos Children’s Hospital or made dog toys from old T-shirts for animal shelters. They made Tooth Fairy bags for the schools, baked and decorated cookies for the community, created duct tape wallets for Degage Ministries in Grand Rapids and planted seedlings to brighten the school properties and community. Motivational speaker Phil Campbell, known as PC Rocks, encouraged students before they set off on their given tasks. He reinforced the service day message. “Inspire the hopeless and empower the dreamers,” he said. “Take time to learn to love yourself and believe in you and in what you can do,” he said, He told students test scores should not define who they are or what they can become, and he challenged teachers to not just teach for tests, but to teach to the heart of their students. “Live with all your heart, love with all your heart and believe in yourself with all your heart,” he said. Student council advisor Liz Ritsema said the day teaches students about com­ munity involvement, being good citizens and giving back to the community and people who support the schools. This was the seventh year the high school has had a sendee day event. It’s organized and planned each year by the student council mem­ bers with their advisors Ritsema and Cary Saxton. This year’s event received funding assistance from three grants: Thornapple Area Enrichment Foundation, Youth Advisory Council and the Michigan Community Service Commission cele­ brating Global Youth Service Day. Items also were donated for several of the projects, including materials donated by Lowe’s for building the sandbox and raised garden beds, vl The Caledonia varsity boys' and girls’ track and field teams both closed out the OK Red Conference duals in a double dual with West Ottawa and the host Buccaneers in Grand Haven Wednesday. The Caledonia boys split the two match-ups to finish the conference duals at 2-6, besting West Ottawa 106-26 while falling 93-43 to the Buccaneers.

The Lake wood varsity Reese Caudy, Casey Henney and Jayce Hansen teamed up on the mound for champion­ the Vikings in the championship game and got the job done as they needed to with some excellent help from their defense. Caledonia had at least one base runner on in six of the seven innings. The Fighting Scots had two on in the bot­ tom of the second, loaded the bases in the bottom of the fourth, had runners on sec­ ond and third in the bottom of the fifth, had two on after scoring their lone run in the bottom of the sixth, and got a one-out double in the bottom of the seventh to put the tying run in scoring position. “Look, that is without a doubt the best baseball game we've played this season,” Lake wood head coactyj^ad Tacey said. “It wasn’t the cleanest we’ve played, but it definitely was the best. We’ve got guys diving all over the outfield making plays, pitchers working out of big trouble situations and guys stepping up and suc­ ceeding in spots they’ve never been in before. I preach to them constantly about picking each other up and they did that today and then some.” Aaron Henry winds up during his relief appearance in the top of the seventh inning against Lakewood Saturday at the Vikings’ Denny Richardson Memorial Invitational.

Caudy got the start on the mound and earned the win for the Vikings with three shut out innings, he struck out five and didn’t allow a hit or a walk. Henney took over in the bottom of the fourth. He worked around a single and a pair of walks in the inning, and then fought for the final out after an error, a walk and a wild pitch had Scots on second and third. Jack Snider doubled to lead off the bottom of the sixth. Henney got a pop-out to first to hold Snider at second, but then had to be replaced on the mound by the sophomore Hansen, Hansen saw his first action of the year on the mound when he had to come in to relieve Henney after an inju­ ry. Hansen managed to work out of trouble, inducing a fly ball and recording a strike out. Snider managed to score on an error by the Viking defense on a throw following the fly out. Aaron Henry also doubled for the Scots in the ballgame. Singles by Luke Thelen and Cole Hebert were the Scots' other two hits. Coach Tacey thought the seventh inning was something really special for his Vikings, “We had bases loaded, nobody out and didn't score.

I Pieri scored four goals, including the game-winner with 52 seconds remaining, to lead the Flying Dutch to a 13-12 upset victory over top-seeded Saint Mary’s (Indiana) College in a semi­ final game in the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic tournament Association Wednesday in Notre Dame, Ind. The win advanced Hope (11-5 on the season) into 4 I today’s (May 4) tournament championship game against second-seeded Albion College on the Britons' home field at 5 p.m. The winner of that game will advance to the NCAA Division III tourna­ ment. It is the first time in the seven-year history of the tournament that a No. 4 seed has beaten a No. 1 seed. The Flying Dutch have reached the tournament final only one other time (2017). Pieri scored three of her goals in the second half as Hope rallied from a 10-8 deficit to pull out the win over the Belles, who had defeated the Flying Dutch 22-8 on April 13 in their pre­ vious meeting. Pieri missed that contest because of an illness. “It was definitely a team win, 100 percent. 1 wouldn’t take credit for anything (per­ sonally),” Pieri said. “I think it was us all playing together throughout the whole game, and it really came out in the last couple of minutes when we were able to hold them off.” Earlier this week, Pieri was named to the A11-M1AA second team in a vote of the league's coaches. She is Hope's leading scorer this season with 46 goals, 18 assists and 64 points. She has scored four goals in a game six times this season, including each of her last three games, and had a seven-point game April 27 in a 19-3 Flying Dutch win over Trine (Indiana) University. She has scored on 48 percent of her shots this season. Pieri made an immediate impact on the Hope program as a freshman a year ago. leading the team in scoring with 36 goals and 42 points. “We know we can count on Carly for three to four goals per game and one to three assists,” Hope coach Kim Vincent said. “She is also on our center draw team. Her skill and strategy are key in helping our team be ranked second in the conference in that category.” A comprehensive educa­ tion and special education major at Hope, Pieri was a member of the MIAA Academic Honor Roll last year, an honor that goes to student-athletes who main­ tain at least a 3.5 grade point average while lettering in their sport.

Is it a good idea to borrow from your 401 (k)? To begin with, you need to determine if a loan is even available. You can only bor­ row from your 401(k) if you’re still working for the company that offers the plan, but even so, you’ll have to check with your human resources area to determine if loans are allowed. If they are, you’ll want to weigh the pros and cons before taking action. On the “pro” side, it’s pret­ ty easy to get a 401 (k) loan — there’s no formal loan appli­ cation and no minimum cred­ it score required. Plus, you’re only borrowing from your­ self, and you can generally repay the loan with automat­ ic paycheck deductions, typi­ cally over a five-year period. However, you’ll also encounter some “cons” when taking out a 401 (k) loan, par­ ticularly concerning taxes. If you had not borrowed from your 401(k), the money you took out could have been growing on a tax-deferred basis, assuming you used pre-tax dollars to fund your plan, and your withdrawals will only be taxed once. But when you borrow from your plan, you will have to repay it, along with interest, with money you’ve earned - and been taxed on - and then, when you withdraw it later, you'll pay taxes on it again. Furthermore, if you leave your employer before fully repaying your loan, the outstanding balance likely will be taxable, although you may have a grace period in which to pay it off and avoid taxes. And perhaps even more important, taking money from your 401(k), even if you repay it later, will almost certainly slow the growth potential of your account which, in plain terms, means you may have less money available for retirement, Of course, if you encoun­ ter an emergency, and you have nowhere else to turn, you may need to borrow from your 401(k). And some plans allow hardship withdrawals for medical expenses Mill Dr., Middleville.

The Wildcats and Trojans moved their OK Gold match-up Conference because of water on the field in Wayland Tuesday, but by the time the game began the rain had stopped. The Trojans possessed the ball well early and created a few scoring chances that they were unable to convert on. Those misses proved costly as the Wildcats scored 25 minutes into the half with the help of some miscommuni­ cation by the Trojan defense, and a Wildcat attacker found space to loft a shot from 25 yards out over the Trojan keeper and into the net. The Trojans are now 6-5 overall this season and 3-3 in the OK Gold, The Trojans scored a 3-1 win at Grand Ledge last Friday (April 26). The Trojans opened the game with the wind at their backs and sailed right in for their first goal less than three minutes in, with Ellie Adams assisting on a goal by Sierah Adams. Sierah beat a defender one on one and placed a shot in the back of the net. It took the Comets less than four minutes to find the equalizer on a shot that seemed to sail on the wind and the two teams went into the half tied 1-1. Ellie Adams assisted on another goal about 15 minutes into the second half for TK, playing a through ball ahead to Olivet who beat the UK * AFFORDABLE PROPANE FOR your home/farm/ busi­ ness.

M-43 Highway, Hastings, Ml 49058 Local officials prepare for Amazon impact Hunter Dood Staff Writer and Greg Chandler tui Contributing Writer The Amazon fulfillment center in Gaines Township is going to have a direct impact on Thornapple Kellogg schools, district officials say, so they’re preparing for it. The 855,000-square-foot warehouse on the comer of 68^ Street and Patterson Avenue in southeastern Kent County is expected to open later this year, a Gaines Township official confirmed this week. The land was purchased from Steelcase Inc., and the building sits on approximate­ ly 104 acres, Matt McKernan, assistant planner for plan­ ning and zoning in Gaines Township, said. The warehouse,announced nearly a year ago, is expected to add as many as 1,000 jobs. Reports have indicated it will open in the fall. “It is my best opinion that we will see growth in enrollment,” Thornapple Kellogg Superintendent Rob Blitchok said. The school district, which includes Middleville and parts of Gun Lake and Freeport, has been growing every year, Blitchok said, Now school officials expect that Amazon warehouse will only add to that growth. orfl n 01 gmog rfT no . doortos VsrfJ 02 srIT JOriOTBW tZ rf,8d vinuoD 1) iojbI dznwol ww zrrfi [ i orlT moil gnibliud MJ A0 J 71 nsuizzB nr> gnin rtenwoT 7 9fIT e Vhssn ji bbi; 01 ziioqoH ni nsqo gi tf llrw ow jnam innoqu? .bbsz 2-^rfT ssbubni zri£q hoqssnH < • hz wo&4 ;mA tart J bbn vino The Amazon warehouse is expected to have a direct in the region. Blitchok said the district is considering asking voters to approve a bond request to help pay for additional class­ rooms to accommodate the growth. bond That wouldn’t increase residents’ tax rate, he noted, but it would keep the rate at the same level for a longer period of time. The expected increase in property values in the Thornapple Kellogg school district district would would allow allow them them to to extend extend the district debt levy for another three to five years without the tax tax without changing changing the F Coordinator Brian Wilke said they haven't had many issues with it; Amazon officials did everything they said they would. But traffic can be an issue around the shift change and around the holidays, he said. “We've had county sher­ iffs out directing traffic at times. We didn't expect that ” Wilke said. In Gaines Township, McKeman, the planning and zoning department official, said Amazon had improvements in mind for the area to create better traffic flow. Amazon suggested the Kent County Road Commission re-stripe lanes on eastbound 601*1 Street and 68*h Street at M-37, creating a shared through/right-turn lane at those intersections. All road work is being fund­ ed by Amazon, he said. Gaines Township officials concluded that the improve­ ments made in the traffic impact study conducted by Amazon “should adequately address traffic concerns and result in acceptable levels of service.” “Truck traffic won’t be noticeable," Gaines Township Supervisor Robert De Ward said. According to the Gaines Township staff report from I See AMAZON, page 7 Yankee Springs Township board amends private road standards I f rate. If the school district were to vote for a bond, he said, it would be for approximately $36 million, which would be raised in that three- to fiveyear timeframe. “It’s a good problem to have," Blitchok said. “We're going to take this challenge head-on.” However, Paul Wing, the chairman of the Agriculture Preservation Board in Barry County, County, said said he he sees sees reason reason for concern. The Barry County Board of Commissioners recently in their planning documents to address the project. “We haven’t made it a spe­ cific agenda item." township planning commission chair­ man Adam Paarlberg said. “Of course, there's going to be a spillover [from the growth] into our township." Tim Bradshaw, a township trustee who also serves on the planning commission, is a representative in a group known as the Four Comers, consisting of officials from the City of Kentwood as well as the townships of Caledonia, Gaines and Cascade. They meet periodi­ cally to discuss issues of mutual concern in the four communities. “It hasn't been a focus, impact on schools and traffic honestly," Bradshaw said of the group's discussions. “1 think all of the communities approved amendments to the are going to be surprised. “With 1,000 new jobs, it’s county’s farmland preserva­ tion ordinance and created an going to create at least a open space preservation short-term housing boom," ordinance to protect against he said. “All of these people need to live somewhere." unrestricted development. “The second (impact) is “We need to develop, but not on good farmland,’’ Wing the traffic all around the said. “So, I am concerned entire area is going to change, about [Amazon] being on drastically - a thousand trips [for employees],” Bradshaw potential farmland.” Caledonia Township offi- said, “not to mention all the acknowledge the trucks” that will be using cials M-37 and other nearby roads.

The favorite daughter of Marge and Gerald, Kathy found her_ match early on, meeting Bob during high school where a nine-year courtship began. Their married life began in Spartan viIlage, resolving their few differences by playing rock, paper, scissors (Kathy always started with paper which left her with a losing percentage). She received her bachelor of arts in journalism and wom­ en’s studies a year later, and suddenly the Jacksons were ready to take on adulthood. Moving to Caledonia in 1980, Bob and Kathy soon started their family where Kathy put her education and energy to great use raising their children. She coached their teams, encouraged their dreams, and showed them how to live a happy and meaningful life. She took time to mentor multiple young women who needed an adult in their lives and continued to spend time with Savannah as a result of that mentorship program eight years later. She was a fabulous friend, wife, moth­ er, sister, and daughter. Never afraid of a chai­ lenge, Kathy worked tireless|y t0 imProve Caledonia Schools and her communi­ ty. She was honored as the Caledonia Hometown Hero for her volunteer work in 2012, and it is easy to see why. Her accomplishments include being commissioner of our AYSO league during its formative years, when she brought girls’ soccer to Cale­ donia for the first time. She served as a member and pres­ • ident of the Caledonia PTO, ran the Caledonia Athletic Booster concessions for four years, and chauffeured Andy, Kelley, and dozens of Cale­ donia kids to sports games 9 J ” across the state. She co-founded the Cale­ donia Education Foundation, building an endowment to support exceptional educa^on P1*0^31115 for the school district. Always willing to spend your tax dollars, Kathy was co-chair of the capital cam­ paign to build a new library for Caledonia Township, which passed with 70% of the vote. And more recently she worked with the Caledon^a Community Green proj­ ect, which is buildin •J an amphitheater, dog park, and trail system to connect the library to multiple locations in the township. Last year, Kathy was proud to participate in the Women’s March in Washington, and in November she was elected as a Democratic Precinct Dele£ate’ Friends and family will remember her as someone always ready to argue her cause. She was smart, fun­ ny, and intense and deeply spiritual. Politically if you weren’t on her side, you were wrong, and she would be happy to tell you why. She leaves this world having nev­ er lost an argument. Kathy’s life is summed up by Confucius: “Wherever you go, go with all of your heart” and Gandhi’s “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” Our deep thanks to Dr. Amy VanderWoude, Emi­ ly Parker, Jacki Northrup, Julie Sachau, and the entire Lemon Holton Oncology staff for their honesty and care. Thanks also to Leslie Andrews and the Spectrum Health Hospice team. Per Kathy’s wishes, crema­ tion has taken place. A celebration of a life well lived will take place at 12:30 P’m’ ^r*daY’ May 31 in the Grand Ballroom at Meijer pardens. Immediately following the service, the fam­ ily will host a “no tears” re­ ception in the ballroom from 1:30 to 4 p.m. If you would like to make a memorial contribution in Kathy’s honor, her family asks that you seek out and support a cause in your local community. i I r ) s3 off The 1st Time Customers!

Welsh said it was unfortunate because the move caused a significant increase in cost to raise the memorial to be level and accessible. One of the planned fea­ tures that had to be cut from the initial plan was a walk­ way with concrete and paver bricks surrounding the out­ side of the memorial. Phase Two will accomplish this task for a total of $2,000. “There are two main func­ tions for the walkway,” Welsh said. “One is to pro­ vide walking access around Tanett Hodge A majority of the tasks will be yard work and renovations around the property of those in need, Zoet said. The TVC campuses will provide meals to volunteers in the evening Thursday and Friday and in the morning Saturday. “Our mission is to connect people with Christ,” Zoet said. “This is one way: Serving.” To participate in the blitz, volunteers must register at tvcweb.org/blitz.

His leadership and com­ mitment helped form the association and bring in new members to continue the association work. Although not a TK alum, Julie Makarewicz, TK direc­ tor of communications, also was honored for her work in helping establish the associa­ tion and promote it. In three years, the associa­ tion has grown its member­ ship, started an active Facebook page and estab­ lished an alumni association web page. The group was given the Community Partner the Barry Award by Community Foundation and will soon award its first scholarship to a graduating senior. The scholarship has been a goal of the association since it started and serves as a way of giving back to the district and future genera­ tions of alumni. With the help of the Thomapple Area Enrichment Foundation, a fund has been established to ensure the continuation of the alumni scholarship. The class of 1931 was the first to graduate class from Thomapple Kellogg. Prior to that, Middleville had a small school with its first graduates in 1881. In the 1930s, Thomapple Township coun­ try schools, with the help of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, consolidated into one dis­ trict. With the gathering of the country schools into one large district, it became nec­ essary to build more build­ ings. In 1931, a building was built at 509 W. Main and was called the Thomapple W.K.

She beat the East Kentwood goal keeper one-on-one to put the Scots in front ten minutes into the second half. That was where the score remained as the Scots moved to 4-4-5 overall and 2-2-4 in the OK Red Conference with their 1-0 win over the Falcons. Lewandowski “Amber had a fabulous game at for­ ward, not only scoring the lone goal, but applying pres­ sure all game to the Falcons' back line and with her hold­ up play up top,” said Caledonia head coach Paul Kramer. He was also pleased with the efforts of Knoll and Kennedy Elies on the outside of the defensive line, calling it Knoll’s best game of the season so far.

Caledonia also got valu­ able minutes off the bench from Lexa Nelson, Avery Drennan, Malia Bauman, Whitney Konwerski and Ellee Fairchild. Kendall Krupiczewicz and Autumn Hannik each worked a half in net to provide the Scots with the clean sheet.

The purpose of the proposed project is to make improvements to the existing treatment system. The improvements will allow for the continued treatment of sanitary sewage throughout the service area in accordance with the current NPDES permit. . Project elements include construction of a headworks building, modifications to the existing Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) treatment system, the addition of tertiary filters, construction of an ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system, a new outfall to Emmons Lake Drain, and the construction of additional biosolids storage. Long term positive impacts from the project include improved reliability of the treatment system and improved biosolids handling. Short term impacts related to construction activities could include increased construction traffic and disturbances in the immediate vicinity of the WWTP site. There are no expected long-term, negative impacts. The total estimated project cost is $5,450,000. A majority of the project cost will be funded through a low interest Michigan Department of Environment, Great lakes, and Energy (EGLE) State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan. The cost to users for the proposed project is currently estimated at $21 per quarter for the average household.

In other news, the council unanimously recommended approval of a request not to exceed $2,650 for the replacement of new water lines to a Middleville residence.

Trustee Rob Perino was absent. The board had adopted the ordinance at its meeting last month. This time, the only change in the ordinance was the date of adoption. Re-adoption was necessary because of the board’s expectation as far as the role of the township attorney. The board was under the impression that the board’s attorney would see to publication of the ordinance. That was not the case. “He informed me that he does not publish (the ordi­ nance),” Clerk Mel Risner said. “At that time, it was too late to get it into the paper within 30-day period that you have to send out the notice.” So re-adoption was done to allow a new 30-day period for public notice.

We certainly wouldn wouldn’’tt want want aa situation situation where these segments get in the way of that long-term vision.” Greg Chandler Contributing Writer Some proposed changes to a Caledonia Township ordi­ nance regulating sidewalks and bike paths are leaving township planning commis­ sioners feeling a bit uneasy. Township planner Lynee Wells on Monday presented a proposal that would remove a requirement to build side­ walks outside of a development or that might front a section-line road, while keeping the current requirement for sidewalks within new residential develop­ ments.

He participated in the school play his freshman year and learned how to express his creativity through his theater classes. While in theater, he started hanging around kids who were plan­ ning to go to college. That exposure inspired him to work harder to get into col­ lege. Eskens was accepted into the University of Iowa where Eskens credits his firstgrade teacher for creating his career in writing. “I was looking at my report cards, and on the back she wrote: ‘Allen dreams too much when he should be get. tmg work done. Eskens describes himself as a day dreamer - and that is where he finds his novel . ideas. “My path wasn’t the same as most authors,” he said, adding that he wasn’t the best student in school, either. he studied theater. He found a hidden talent in dance while at Iowa. He began studying classes such as bal­ let and taekwondo. He sprained his ankle and realized he couldn’t do what he wanted to in the dance field, so he decided to change his major to journalism and transfer to the University of Minnesota. At Minnesota, Eskens studied hard and earned “almost straight As.” Then he decided to go to law school.

That's when Eskens decid­ ed to write his first short story. His short story eventually turned in to a chapter, then a manuscript. It took him 20 years to finish, but he wasn't happy with it. “I put it aside and wrote my second manuscript,” Eskens said. “I was going to write whether I got it pub­ lished or not because it was what I enjoyed doing.” His second manuscript became his first novel. His first novel took him 28 years to finish. “I rewrote the entire manuscript because I grew so much as a writer over that time,” he said. Eskens said he believes his writing evokes emotion from his readers, and he attributes that to his penchant for day dreaming and making fiction a part of his life. “Finding your passion is a key to a happy life,” Eskens said. “If you find something you truly love doing, you never work a day in your life.” Our Diagnostic Computer Software is Compatible With AH Makes & Models <M»> LOCATED 945-0191 JEFF DOBBINS AUTO SERVICE, IM*AUTO IIMC.

Staff Writer Thomapple Kellogg Board of Education picked Premier Roofing to replace the roof on the middle school at its Monday meeting. Assistant Superintendent Craig McCarthy said he filed an insurance claim due to wind damage last fall. The school was quoted a price of $189,000 by Premier Roofing, but the $73,224 the district will receive in insurance coverage will offset the cost of the roof replacement. “I got an estimate on a metal roof and it was almost three times the amount of the quote from Premier Roofing,” McCarthy said. “The quote came back at $560,000.” McCarthy said the work on the roof will begin in early July and should be finished by the beginning of the 2019­ 20 school year. business, In other Kellogg Thornapple Curriculum Director Kim Chausow proposed a new resource for the ELA pro­ gram in the middle school.

Greg Chandler Contributing Writer Caledonia High graduate Hannah Horvath recently completed a strong first sea­ son as a member of the Calvin College softball team. Horvath, who transferred to Calvin last fall after spend­ ing two years at Lansing Community College, played a key role for the Knights as their leadoff hitter this sea­ son, helping them to an over­ all record of 31-10. She helped Calvin win its first Intercollegiate Michigan Athletic Association tourna­ ment in 22 years and advance to the regional finals in the NCAA Division 111 tourna­ ment before the Knights' sea­ son ended last Saturday with an 8-0 loss to Illinois Wesleyan University in Bloomington, 111. A second baseman and left-handed hitter, Horvath hit .362 in 41 games this sea­ son. scored 37 runs and had 17 runs batted in. She had an on-base percentage of .427 and stole 17 bases in 18 attempts, tying for the most steals among all M1AA play­ ers. In the process, she earned first team AII-M1AA honors. Horvath says after two years at Lansing CC. she wanted to continue her edu­ cation where she could live at home and still be able to play softball. She found both at Calvin, just a short drive up M-37 from Caledonia. “I followed the Calvin softball program while I was Lansing CC and knew the program was doing great things.” Horvath said. “I was also impressed with the biol­ ogy program and when 1 came for a visit everyone was so welcoming - to the faculty, to the coaching staff, to the softball players. Horvath saved some of her best performances for the Knights' stretch run, hitting safely in 11 of Calvin's last 12 games, hitting .422 in that span with nine runs scored and nine RBIs. She went 6-for-7 with four runs scored and four RBIs in a double­ header sweep of Olivet College on April 26. My mindset when I am at the plate is to figure out what the pitcher is throwing and find a way to get on base,” Horvath said. “I try to find a way to adjust. It's just really attacking and putting pres­ sure on the other team.” At Lansing CC, Horvath helped her team win two NJCAA district titles and advance to the NJCAA World Series both years. A biology major at Calvin, Horvath is interested in a career dealing with the envi­ ronment once she finishes her education there. “My ideal job would be to work as a conservation officer” she said.

The Scots raced the other way and Lockhart was able to scoop the ball off the turf in front of the Holt and get it by the Ram keeper to give his team a 5-3 lead at the break. “He has had a great year, and it has been fun to see him grow,” Kool said of 11 V OID IS HI Klein. “I just thought today was probably his sharpest game of the year, between his saves and his clears.

Meanwhile, the council decided to set aside $200,000 of its fund balance to purchase Caledonia Township’s ownership share of the village hall, which has been up for sale for the past year.

More than 18,000 people completed the program in 2018. This year’s program kicks off Monday, June 3, and extends through Saturday, Aug. 10. Patrons may sign up at kdl.READsquared.com, or just stop into any KDL branch for details. “We love offering great programs for all ages every summer,” Kip Odell, KDL programming manager, said, 44 This summer, we are presenting a lot of new and exciting performers that are coming to West Michigan for the first time. Our goal is to keep reading fun all summer long.” Those who register for summer reading at KDL can qualify for prizes by tallying the number of books they read or tracking the points they accumulate by completing activities. But perhaps the best gain - especially for students - is how reading throughout the vacation months helps fore­ stall the “summer slide,” which negatively affects learning between the end and start of the traditional school year. Extensive research shows that children involved in summertime reading pro­ grams sponsored by public ' ~ likely to ’ libraries are more maintain their academic skills, and in many cases, do better on standardized tests, Odell said.

June 1.2019 FINANCIAL FOCUS Provided by Andrew McFadden and Jeffrey Westra of Edward Jones Vacation and retirement: different goals require different investment strategies To achieve any of your financial objectives, you need to save and invest - that much is clear. But just how you save and invest may differ from goal to goal. Let s look at two common goals to see the dif­ ferences in your savings and investment strategics. The first goal we’ll consider is a dream vacation - one last­ ing a couple of weeks or m«e, possibly to an exotic locale. So. for the investments you’ve designated to fund this vaca­ tion, you need two key attri­ butes: liquidity and low risk, The liquidity requirement is pretty self-explanatory - you want to be able to get to your vacation funds exactly when you need them, and you don’t want to be slapped with some type of early withdrawal or tax penalty. The low-risk part of your vacation strategy means you want investments that won’t drop in value just when you need to sell them to use the proceeds for your trip. However, you need to be aware that those types of stable-valuc investment vehicles Digital TV Antennas Cell Phone Boosters .0439 TV Aim MiA A KJWIR M IJU LADD* likely will not offer much owth pcMential. As you may know, the investments with the greatest possible rewards are also those that carry the high­ est degrees of risk. Yet by starting to invest early enough in more conservative investmeats, and putting away money regularly; you may be able to compensate for the lack of growth opportunities. Now, let’s turn to your other goal - retirement. When you are saving for retirement, your primary objective is pretty simple: to accumulate as much money as you can. Consequently, you will need a reasonable percentage of your portfolio devoted to growth-oriented investments, But what’s a reasonable per­ centage? There’s no one-size­ fits-all solution - the amount of growlh investments in your portfolio should be based on several factors, including your age, risk tolerance and project­ ed retirement lifestyle. Furthermore, this percent­ age may need to change over time. When you’re just startin out in your career, you may be able to afford to take on the greater risk that comes with having a higher percentage of your portfolio in rowth investments. But as you get closer to retirement, you might want to begin shifting some u- 5 » dollars toward more conservelive vehicles — vou don't want to be over-exposed to the volatility of the financial markets just when you need to start selling investments to help fund your retirement. Nonetheless, you won’t want to give up all growth investments, even during your retirement years. You could Ispend two or three decades as a retiree, and over that time, inflation could take a big toll on your purchasing power. To counter this effect, you will need to own some investments that have the potential at least to equal, and ideally outpace ’ the cost of living. The examples of taking that extensive vacation and enjoying a long retirement illustrate the importance of recognizing that you will have many goals in life - and you’ll need to prioritize and plan for them, sometimes following significandy different investment strategies. When you do, you’ll give yourself a better chance of reaching your destinations. Th is article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.

The Eagles brought an end to the Trojans' season with a 1-0 overtime victory in the Division 2 District Semifinals Wednesday in Byron Center. More than 95 minutes into what would prove to be a 100-minute contest Wednesday, an Eagle found the ball at her feet just out­ side the box. Trojan fresh­ man keeper Tristen Cross, who played well all evening long, stuffed the shot. Her save rebounded beyond the end line, giving the Eagles a comer kick. Grand Rapids Christian junior Elizabeth Williams served a beautifully driven ball in front where sopho­ more teammate Becca Burrows got a head on it to redirect it into the Trojan net - breaking the scoreless deadlock about four minutes before it was forced into a penalty kick shootout to determine the winner. With just 4 minutes remaining and fatigue setting in the Trojans would try and push for one more chance, but would not find the equal­ izer.

Kentwood 7 Excavating went before the township board Wednesday, asking the township to approve a change to a consent judgment agreed to between the two entities in 2011. That agreement settled a lawsuit filed by Kentwood Excavating over the town­ ship’s opposition several years earlier to its request to mine sand and gravel from its property at 6486 Buttrick Ave. As part of that consent judgment approved by Kent County Circuit Judge Paul Sullivan, the township agreed to allow for development of the property owned by Kentwood Excavating at 8121 Broadmoor, across the highway from the township hall, for light industrial or general business use. However, “the property owners’ desired use of that [property] has changed since we shook hands on that Township agreement,” Supervisor Bryan Harrison said Wednesday. *4 f ‘J mw birzxl bnwoi X) <; o) nod oj JIOS BWSl £ i/GJ/.’l a'qirte > air/r( zanini I0q01C| . 37A zA mgbuj inuoD ivillu?

But not everyone is thrilled by the proposal. “I think this site is best served as commercial or retail, because it is along Broadmoor.

A team of 10 Caledonia bus drivers won the Kent County school bus driving championship by having the highest score in the county. The team also won the “Best of the Best” trophy for the highest score across Kent, Allegan, Ottawa, Van uren and Ionia counties. Drivers are scored based on two written tests that cover their CDL manual, •us Beginnin « School Driving Manual and “What Every Driver Must Know” Manual. They also were scored on 12 obstacles that tested driving ability. The driving test included basic turning and parking. but also more difficult tests such as the off-set alley where drivers had to maneuver through alleys where the clearance dropped from four inches to one inch. They also had to parallel park and per­ form a simulated pickup and simulated railroad crossing. It’s not a speed thing, it’s an accuracy test,” Caledonia Transportation Secretary Betty Nelson said. Nelson said this is the first time Caledonia has won since 11978. since 978. Along with Nelson, Caledonia drivers at the event were Beth Bischoff, Seth Bovee, Tricia Dietz, Anna Foster-Smith, Deanna Hall, Michelle Kowalski, Kathleen Peterson, Danielle Speers and Cindy Stauffer. Of the 10 drivers, seven placed in the top 20 and three placed in the top six. Brenda Witteveen, transportation director for the dis­ trict, said 76 drivers from 22 schools were in the competi­ tion.

The new cell tower comes as good news for Verizon users in the area near the Thornapple River valley, which Commissioner Diane Cutler referred to as a cell­ phone vortex because of the current spotty service in that area. “I’m really hoping that this will pick up service quality,” Cutler said. “When you have new people move in, the first question [I hear] is ‘Why can't 1 get service?' ” Commissioners had no argument about the need for a second tower to serve the Caledonia area, but wrestled with questions over aesthet­ ics and security before sign­ ing off on the project. Verizon initially proposed a 6-foot-high chain-link fence around the tower with three strands of barbed wire over the fence to keep tres­ passers out, but that ran into resistance from the board. “I think that's completely against the character of our community,” Commissioner Jodie Masefield said.

Another carrier had a tower there in the past, but that has been decommissioned and removed, Wyngarden said.

Strength teacher Pat Gillies came up with the idea and put it into action. Students joining the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and National Guard were honored, including: Army Isaiah Beatty and Nathan Janette Cronk; Navy Napewa, Carl Simmons and Savannah Timmerman; Air Force - Jacob Rauch; Marines - Mackenzie Bailey, Noah Gabrielse, Patrick Gillies and Brent Rittenger; and National Guard - Logan Brown,Travis Martin, Brady Postma and Ryan Simpson. “1 feel like these kids are part of the reason we can sit here and have these conver­ sations,” Gillies said. Gillies wanted to create the ceremony because the school honors sports, aca­ demics and performing arts, but not those who decided to serve the country. “It’s nice to show respect and go the extra mile for these kids,” he said. Gillies had support from Principal Brady Lake, and he hopes that more students will come out to support their fellow classmates as they move on to their next chap- ters. “Watching the ceremony, this is something we should’ve been doing all along,” Lake said. “These students are important to us. And to honor them, it means something to us, and hopefully [the students]. Ryan Simpson graduated from boot camp in August 2018, just days before start­ ing his senior year of high school.

Carl Simmons, who plans on studying in the advanced electronic computer field for the U.S. Navy, said this was his first time to be recognized by the community for his commitment. “It’s a special honor,” Simmons said. Carl Simmons said he decided to join the military over Christmas break, but Patrick Gillies said he has known that he wanted to enlist since his freshman year of high school. Patrick Gillies will be a member of the infantry in the Marines. “I thought the ceremony was perfect,” Lake said. “I thank Mr. Gillies for putting it all together.” Caledonia graduating seniors honored during the school’s inaugural military recognition ceremony May 23 and recruiters (names not available) include (front row, from left) Patrick Gillies, Mackenzie Bailey, Savannah Timmerman, Janette Napewa, Jacob Rauch, Brady Postma, Ryan Simpson, Christine Ellis, (second row) Brent Rittenger, Noah Gabrielse, Carl Simmons, Logan Brown, Travis Martin, and (fourth row, center) Nathan Cronk and Isaiah Beatty.

The center held a teacher appreciation week, where parents and students wrote on sticky notes how they felt about the teachers and attached them to their doors. The door to the 3-year-old class was filled with positive comments. The Tagg family said during teacher appreciation week, “You make an enor­ mous positive impact on our precious gifts, our children.

The Rafflers have had five boys attend Mrs. Peck Peck and and Mrs. Mrs. Reynhout’s class. In addition to her work in the classroom, Peck wrote a grant to start a building library for the school. She volunteered countless hours to set it up and then, over the years, has acted as the librar­ ian for classes, shelved books, catalogued books and, in general, kept the library in working _ order. Reynhout was often found working alongside her in the management of the library, “We are avid readers of children’s’ books,” Peck said. “We base a lot of our lessons around literacy and hope to instill love of reading in all of our students.” Peck and Reynhout also have handled all of the pre­ school scholastic book orders and boxtop labels for the school. The two teachers are dearly loved by the staff in the building. “They always have a sup­ portive word for coworkers, a listening ear to parents and advice to be shared with friends,” Trocinski said. “I have had the privilege of co-teaching with Dianna and Dorthy for seven years,” special education teacher candi Candi Harper Harper said. said. “ “Their Their love for teaching, sensitivity for those in need of help, excellent teaching abilities and commitment to learning, as well as their commitment to their students, have made a huge impact in shaping me into the teacher I am and strive to be. “Both ladies not only look after the educational needs of their students, but dedicate themselves to teach and model values and skills their students will carry with them as they continue to grow and develop.

On days when there is no school, he regularly is concerned and asks about his teachers, they said. In honor of the two teach­ ers, a Little Library has been set in the front of the school for community families to continue to share books. “We noticed some PTO ladies outside our window this spring, cleaning up the flower garden bed,” Peck said. “Then someone put in this big post and we wondered what was going on. The next thing we know, one of our student’s dads installed something on the post. At first we thought it was a bird­ house, but it was too big. Then our principal emailed everyone to meet in the lobby at noon one day. To our sur­ prise, they announced that it was built in our honor and there was a plaque installed on the post. We are so hon­ ored.” “They were pretty sneaky about the whole thing,” both teachers said. When asked what they will miss about being at the school, both Peck and Reynhout said it would be the staff, the children and their families. “We are all bonded and work in excellent collabora­ tion in this building,” Peck said. In retirement, which they claim will not hit them until after summer is over and school starts up again, both teachers plan to spend more time with their retired hus­ bands and more time loving their grand babies. Peck intends to garden and quilt and read more and wants to get involved in charity work. Reynhout plans to spend more time at her place in Ludington and volunteer at her church more often.

I was con­ fused.” From the Tigers’ dugout along the third baseline, the angle where the Allegan fans and Podbevsek were watching from, it appeared Jacobs had spun and snagged the deflection out of the air. Podbevsek initially broke for home from third, then turn back to the bag to tag up. Jacobs fired to Tiger catcher Hayden Kruithoff at the plate, forcing out Podbevsek. Sidebotham knew Podbevsek had been forced out at the plate, and broke safely for third. With his entire bench in his ear screaming for him to throw to first, thinking Jacobs had made the catch initially, Kruithoff fired the ball to first expecting to dou­ ble off Vaderheide who’d rushed to second. “They were all confused if he caught the ball or if he didn't catch the ball,” Sidebotham said. “I took advantage of the confusion and I just took off. My coach didn't say go or don’t, but I just took off. At home plate I kind of just moved out of the way and got in.” It took a moment before the Trojans erupted in celebration and many of the stunned Tigers headed for their dugout still wondering what had happened or upset by it. The umpires made no signal for an infield fly. “That last play, I swear he L Your local agent insures your f Retirement Ask about our annuities and IRAs A t ► FAUN BUREAU Please call Julie Rop, Preschool Director, to set up your personal visit .

It was just the one thing that I had to do. Next thing I know, he throws down to home and I realize I messed up. “Then I see Evan comin up the sideline, just cookin’! When he touched that plate I knew it was all over. I was about to cry. There is no bet­ ter feeling in the world. That was amazing. Seeing my coach like that, back-toback-to-back, that must be a great feeling.” Before long, Sidebotham was lifted off the turf with his fists raised to the sky by Colson Brummel, who had been awaiting his turn in the batter’s box. Brummel, a junior, is the only Trojan player who has been a part of the 2017,2018 and 2019 district champion­ ships. Podbevsek, McNee, Sidebotham and Jordan Hey are the Trojans’ four seniors this spring, all a part of a district championship base­ ball team for the second time. TK went back to Hopkins Wednesday for its regional semifinal match-up with Otsego, falling 10-3 to the Bulldogs The district wins over Hopkins (19-9) in the semifi­ nals and Allegan (4-23) in the final were just the fifth and sixth wins of the season season at 6-24. Allegan defeated Wayland 11-5 in its district semifinal Saturday morning before storms moved in postponing the rest of the tournament to Monday afternoon. “We were definitely the underdogs in this too for sure. We only had like five wins on the season, six wins,” Sidebotham said. “We had the mentality to come out. We had the heart to do it. The goal we set at the start of the season was to three-peat at districts, which had never been done at our school before. We came out and just got it done. We played with our hearts.” The Trojans and Tigers were back and forth through­ out the late afternoon. Allegan took a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning, only to have the Trojans jump in front with three runs in the bottom half of the innings. Allegan evened things up at 3-3 with a run in the top of the second. From there, Allegan pitch­ ers Kruithoff and Smith and the TK starter Brummel matched zeroes until Allegan snapped the tie with two runs in the top of the sixth. TK got those two back in the bottom half of the sixth to send the ame into the seventh tied at 5-5.

If you own a business, you’ve always got plenty to think about: sales, marketing, employees, competition, industry trends, consumer preferences — the list goes on and on. It’s easy to get so caught up in your work that you might not take time to think about retirement. But if and when that day arrives, you'll want to be prepared which means you need a business succession plan. And you will have to pul considerable thought and effort in selecting such a plan, because you’ve got several choices. You could keep the business in your family. You could offer it to an employee or an outsider. You could design a plan that will take effect while you're alive or after you've passed away. Your decision should be based on several factors, including your family situasitua­ tion the nature of your busi . tion, the nature of your busi­ ness ness,, and and your your overall overall finanfinancial position (including the composition of your investment portfolio), but, at the outset of your search, you may want to know about some some popular popular succession succession strategies, strategies, including: including: • Giving the business away —— You You can can leave leave your your busibusiness to your children, but if you transfer it during your lifetime, lifetime, you you may may be be able able to to obtain obtain some some valuable valuable benebene­ fits.

Of course, any sale brings tax considerations. • Using buy-sell a arrangement to transfer the business — Instead of simply selling the business in a traditional transaction, you could employ a buy-sell With agreement. this arrangement, you can generally allv determine determine when, when, to whom, and at what price you can sell it.

Those three home runs, by juniors in their third varsity season. powered the Thomapple Kellogg varsity softball team to an 11-5 vicOK tory over Gold Conference rival, and longtime nemesis, Wayland in the Division 2 District Final at Hopkins High School Monday. Thomapple Kellogg head coach Tom Hudson passed off the district championship ttrophy h to senior to senior Kara Burbridge, after accepting* from athletic director Brian Hammer, and it wasn’t too long afterwards that the TK ladies took their trophy out onto the baseball field at Hopkins High School to cel­ ebrate alongside the TK var­ sity baseball team that cap­ tured its third consecutive conference championship Monday. It is the first district cham- pionship for the TK ladies since 2000. Wayland also won a Division 2 district championship in 2000 - one of 16 district titles for the Wildcats in the past 20 sea­ sons. TK will travel to Edwardsburg today (June 8) for its Division 2 Regional Tournament where it will take on Vicksburg in the regional semifinals at 10 a.m. Olivet and Stevensville Lakeshore meet in the tour­ nament's other semifinal match-up. Wayland got the jump on the TK ladies in the top of the second inning Monday, pushing across a run on four straight singles, including a couple of the bunt variety, TK managed to retire a pair of Wildcats on the base-paths without too much damage done. It was a scenario that played out again and again throughout the afternoon. TK starting pitcher Bre Lake set the Wildcats down 1-2-3 in the first inning, but the Wildcats managed to keep the base paths busv busy the rest of the day - stranding eight runners on base over the final six innings. That l-0 Wayland lead didn’t last long. VanTil hit a solo home run with one-out in the bottom half of the sec­ ond to tie the game. She said she had a bit of a fire in her, thinking the Trojans should have gotten out of the first inning without giving up a run. “I kind of just went at bat, cool and calm, breathing in, breathing out,” VanTil said. “It is always Wayland, our rivals, so I just wanted to get in there and just smack it. I saw that first pitch right down the middle and I just took a swing at it. It felt good. I rounded first and I see it over.” “It was pretty cool.” Snyder>' reached on a Wayland error right after the home run and eventually ■■ scored on a two-out RBI double from Carly Grummet to give the Trojans their first lead at 2-1. The game was eventually 4-4 going into the bottom of the fifth inning before VanTil and Snyder started a five-run Trojan rally. VanTil doubled down the left field line with one-out and then trotted home on Snyder’s first home run of the ballgame. Burbridge then beat out a bunt single, Grummet doubled, and Burbridge scored on an RBI groundout from Maleah Bailey. Paige VanStee dou­ bled home Bailey and then came home to score when the centerfielder Wildcat dropped a deep fly-ball from Shylin Robirds. TK 5-6-7-8 hitters VanTil, Snyder, Burbridge and Grummet scored nine of the Trojans' 11 runs in the bail­ game.

They moved the ball and hit it hard through the tournament and before it. You never rest,” Hudson said. “There were things hap­ pening on both sides. They saw the ball pretty good today and they hit it well. It’s good for them.” “It’s a good feeling for those kids and for the school.” VanTil and Snyder said a lot of work, both offseason work and extra time during the season, went into making the Trojan line-up a danger­ ous one from top to bottom. VanTil was 3-for-4 with two runs, two RBI and two doubles in the ball game, hitting out of the number five spot for the Trojans. Her home run was her first of this season. We work offseason and on-season,” VanTil said. “Coach (Jon) Greenman is always there for us, Tuesday and Thursday, and even Monday and Wednesday during offseason through the fall. Everybody wants to work hard, because we want that championship. We want k I 1 i (4 4A rli to win. We want to be that team that makes a difference in TK “I think everybody understands that concept of work­ ing hard, and hard work that will pay off. We have put in so much time and so much — ~ • who - were effort. Even people in sports in the winter, they came in and they worked hard, they did the weekends. They put in the time. They put in the effort and it really shows when we come out and play a tight, tight game.” Wayland put together three straight singles and a ground out to score one run in the top of the third, but TK answered with a lead-off double from senior Robirds and an RBI single by VanTil for a 3-2 edge, Burbridge scored on a pair of Wildcat overthrows to lead off the bottom of the fourth after a ground ball to the right side. Wayland evened the ballgame at 4-4 with two runs in the top of the fifth. Wayland’s Kayla Reed led off the inning with a single and scored on a one-out from double Kennedy Cole.

Brian was a breaststroker and swam in high school until he moved from Chicago to Middleville. At that time, there were no high school swim teams in the area, so he was not able to continue swimming competitively, but both were raised around water and had a love for water sports. The Marcukaitis’ now have three children, Abby and Cooper, who are 15-yearold twins, and Sophia, who is 12 and is in eighth grader at TK. Abby is a freshman at TK and Cooper is a freshman at West Michigan Aviation Academy (WMAA). According to Kris Marcukaitis, all three of the children were swimming across lengths of pools and in the deep water of Gun Lake since they were three years old. Abby and Cooper began age group swimmin: through the Middleville Minnows swim club when they were 7 years old. After one year, they discovered they wanted to swim more often and more competitive­ ly so they joined a USA swim club at eight years old. After a year of watching her brother and sister swim at meets, Sophia, at the age of five, decided she wated to swim for a USA swim club. “That’s when swimming started to take over our lives,” Kris said. “Being there was no USA swim club nearby, a 40-45 minute drive was necessary 4-5 days a week when they were young­ er. Now we drive to East Grand Rapids at least 5-6 days a week for swim prac­ tice, dry land activities and 4 !

All three have qualified for USA state meets since they were 9 years old.” Abby had her first year of high school swim this past fall and broke two individual team records in the 100meter backstroke and 200meter individual medley event, as well as helped to break one relay record, according to Kris. At age 14, she qualified to race at the Division 1 High School State meet and placed 12th in the state witha time of 58.86 seconds in her100-meter backstroke. Abby continued her suecess when she took second in the USA State meet for her age division.

This is the question that the trustees of Thomapple Township posed to them­ selves during their meeting Monday, June 10. According to Township Zoning Planning and Administrator Catherine Getty, the code enforcers take two days a week to “drive around the township to check the progress of com­ plaints we’ve had or to find noncompliant issues.” “As long as I've been here, we’ve had an enforcement officer that ‘patrolled’ the township,” she said, adding that it has been a “way to more evenly enforce the zon­ ing code, so that it’s not just complaints.” Getty’s description of the code enforcer’s duties differed from that of Trustee Ross DeMaagd's understand­ ing of the assigned duties. He said he understood them to be more reactionary than proactive, Township Treasurer Debra Buckowing agreed with DeMaagd. “When we first hired an enforcement officer, it was to be complaint-driven, and that was it - not patrolling and for things,” looking Buckowing said, Over time, though, the duties of the enforcement officer seemed change to a include policy of “patrolling” that had origi­ nally been avoided. Regardless of when the change occurred, “that's been the policy since as long as I've been here,” said Getty, who has been with the town­ ship for approximately 10 years. Buckowing said she didn’t like the idea of a township See ENFORCEMENT, pg. 9 Springs Township meeting Ian Watson Contributing Writer A heated exchange and shouting between board members and audience brought the members Yankee Springs Township meeting on June 13 to a screeching halt just before 9 p.m. The conflict arose when township Treasurer Alice Jansma and Trustee Larry Knowles were pressured to explain their no votes in a 2-2 stalemate over appoint­ ing former township Trustee Michael Boysen to the township planning commis­ sion. “I would like Larry Knowles and Alice Jansma to be very specific on why they voted no to discard the only applicant that came forward for this position" Trustee Shanon VandenBerg said. Supervisor Township and Mark Englerth VandenBerg voted in favor of appointing Boysen to the planning commission. Normally, the township has five voting members, but township Clerk Janice Lippert was absent due to illness. Planning commission Chairwoman Cathy Strickland also demanded an explanation, saying that Boysen was “very qualified” and is “the only candi­ date we have” for the open­ ing. Knowles told VandenBerg and the audience present that he had been told the township board would inter­ view candidates for the post. He was made aware of the proposal to appoint Boysen that same day. “We should have interviewed him. We should have done that and we should do that.” I See MEETING, page 10 I * IT TK board meeting full of recognition and appreciation Tanett Hodge Staff Writer At Thomapple Kellogg’s meeting school board Monday, retiring teachers Karen Young, Kurt Holzhueter, Monte Munjoy, Johanna Huggins and Cindy Brooks were celebrated and wished the best as they retire this year.

How about beating that amount by more than $3,000? That’s exactly what happened, as last month’s Duncan Lake Cancer Walk raised a record $31,751 toward VAI’s research efforts to find a cure for cancer and other life-threatening diseases. “I truly believe we live in kt 12 V * 1I I a great community that really supports our students,” said Liz Alexander, an adviser to the Duncan Lake Student Council and Cancer Walk coordinator since its inception ll years ago. “The reality is, cancer is impacting everyone. Whether it is a family member, a friend, a teacher, cancer is affecting our our lives lives daily. daily. We We need need to to find find aa cure cure or or more more effective effective treatments. treatments. Our Our entire entire staff staff isis very supportive of Cancer Walk and help our students with their their ideas. ideas.”” with While the highlight of the fundraiser is the annual walk that took place Friday, May 10, many other events took place throughout the school in the weeks leading up to the walk, and students stepped up to raise funds for VAI, Alexander said. “We had some new events this year like the fashion show and petting zoo,” she said. “We also had great support from the Van Andel Institute Institute’’ss Purple Purple Community Community at at our our events, events, and and they they pro pro-­ vided vided us us with with an an online online donation link that helped simplify the donation pro­ cess. We were able to offer a raffle for all students who raised over $100 to be a Scientist for Day at the VAI.” Later this month, 24 Duncan Lake students will visit the institute, meet with researchers and go to the VAI Educational Institute to have fun fun with with science science experiexperiments. ““This This opportunity opportunity isis ments. one our students get really excited about,” Alexander said. said. Sixth and seventh graders at Duncan Lake went all in on raising funds. Sixth grad­ ers raised more than $12,000, including $4,200 raised by students in teacher Trish Luiich’s homeroom. Seventh graders brought in nearly $2,000 in their Penny Wars competition, and two stu- dents from that grade con­ tacted businesses, knocked on doors and sold soda pop at school to generate more funds, Alexander said. Meanwhile, the Duncan Lake Student Council Lake Student Council Executive Board, consisting of eighth graders, organized the fashion fashion show show and and movie movie the night. This year's year ’s record response boosted the overall funds raised by the Duncan Lake Cancer Walk through­ out its history to about $180,000. All funds raised go directly to VAI's research efforts, Alexander said. “Because of the Van Andel’s endowment, no monies donated will ever pay for electricity, rent, maintenance of the building, sala­ ries for staff, etc. The money goes directly to the research labs,” she said.

In fact, the construction process is valuable for anyone to learn - and the same skills that go in to creating and mending physical objects also can be applied to financial projects - such as working toward a comfortable retirement. Here are a few of those kills: • Diagnosing the challenge A good craflspcrson knows that the first step toward accomplishing any outcome is to assess the challenge. So, for example, if you want to build some bookshelves right into the wall, you'll need to locate the wall studs, determine if you have adequate space for the shelving you want and allow room for future expansion. Similarly, if you want to retire at a certam age, you need to consider the key variables: your current and future income (How much can you count on from your retirement plans?), where you'll live (Will you downsize or relo­ cate? Will you rent or own a house or ।condominium?) And what you'll do as a retir­ ee (Will you travel cxtensivcly or stick close to home? Will you do some type of work for pay or pursue your hobbies and volunteer?), • Assembling the right tools and materials — To put together your bookshelf, you will need the right tools saw, hammer, drill, sander and so on - and the right building materials - ply plywood, nails, screws, glue, brackets, moldings and so on. And to work toward a retirement, comfortable you’ll also need the right tool - in the form of a long-term financial strategy, based on your specific retirement goals, risk risk tolerance tolerance and and time time goals, horizon - along with the appropriate materials - the mix mix of of investments investments you you use use to carry out that strategy, strategy.

More donors, and new' donors in particular, are needed to maintain a suffi­ cient blood supply. Donating blood is a simple process and only takes about an hour from start to finish. The process includes reg­ istration (sign in, show ID and read required informa­ tion); health check (answer questions and receive a mini-physical); donation (giving a pint of blood only takes about eight to 10 min utes); and refreshments (donors enjoy snacks and relax before resuming their day). All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable suppl\ for patients. A blood donor card or driver s license or two other forms of identifi­ cation are required at checkin. Individuals who are 17 years or older, weigh at least 110 pounds and are in gener­ ally good health may be eli­ gible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

The fiscal plan, which received unanimous support from the council, calls for eneral fund spending of $770,111 versus revenues of $684,711. The village is expected to end its current fiscal year June 30 nearly $54,000 in the black, boosting its reserves in the general fund to slightly more than $782,000. The budget calls for maintaining the current village tax rate at 7.944 mills, interim Village Manager Ryan Cotton said. The major reason for the village dipping into its reserves for the new fiscal year centers around the possibility the village will buy out Caledonia Township’s ownership share of the village hall at 250 S. Maple St. The council agreed late last month to set aside $200,000 of its fund balance toward the buyout, although the final amount still must be negotiated ated with with the the township. township.

In reference to a list of issues found through the practice of patrolling, Buckowing said, “I’m glad we’re seeing them. There are some things that, left unad­ dressed, could lead to other things” that could spell trou­ ble for the township. Township Clerk Cindy Willshire said, “You could look at the patrolling as pro­ active.” “There are a lot of, I would say, advantages of having that proactive stance,” Getty added, “and that is that you have a township that is desir­ able to live in.” “It’s a way for us to enforce the rules that apply to everyone” and ensure that residents don't make prob­ lematic investments, such as building a pole bam on a property line, Getty said. DeMaagd disagreed with the notion that patrolling, itself, leads to a more benefi­ cial scenario for everyone. “When we start micro­ managing all the residents and their personal activities, that starts to take away that rural feel,” that living in the township has provided and, in fact, commits to in its own mission statement. For DeMaagd, the work­ load of the enforcer should primarily be compli­ ance-driven, rather than a proactive approach of patrolling, or as he put it, the that “snoopin' and lookin has become the norm. Trustee Sandy Rairigh countered DeMaagd’s stance, saying many people are faced with challenges when forced into a situation with neighbors. “You hesitate to call and complain about your neigh­ bors,” Rairigh said. “Why put the neighbors in the posi­ tion where they feel like they have to call and complain” in order for problems to be 5 i* 5*~ J I f, I * i 4^ 4 $ ,jf JiP * LX iiXi ” tenna Men*tr 0' Digital TV Antennas Cell Phone Boosters 517.646.0439 TV ANTENNA & TOWER INSTALLATION, REPAIR 4 REMOVAL Disabilities Act.

The land had for some time existed as a residential property but upon purchase and a request by Bradford White Corp., will now be zoned for light industrial pur- poses.

When asked if the town­ ship has ever received com­ plaints about the code enforc­ ers in the past, Buckowing responded, “I haven't per­ sonally heard any complaints from anybody about our enforcement officer at the township.” Getty also made it clear that her office has never been in the practice of rushing to write a citation and that the current code enforcement officer. Brad Williams, has yet to write a ticket. “I could be wrong, but I don't believe a ticket or a citation has been written since 2012,” Buckowing said. “That sounds about right,” Getty added. The township board decid­ ed not to take any action on the issue, but will meet with Williams to get his perspec­ tive on the issue. Buckowing also added that the board should be pre­ pared to possibly rewrite pol­ icy “to be more clear and to make sense for what this board feels how it should be handled.” In an email after the meet­ ing concluded, Buckowing made clear that “we all desire W the township to be a safe and eye-appealing place to live and work, maintaining the rural feel of the township while respecting individual property rights! In other business, town­ ship Trustee Jake Jelsema Thornapple presented Township Fire Chief Randy Eaton with a special state tribute of appreciation for his mother, Shirley Eaton, and her nearly 20 years of service to the township as treasurer. Part of the tribute read that Shirley Eaton's life “is a study in the power of hard work, dedication and com­ mitment to her career, her family and her community.” Buckowing commented that few people have the commitment to public ser­ vice that Shirley Eaton did. Randy Eaton said later on that if his mother were to have received the tribute her­ self “she’d be honored but, in the same breath, would say it wasn’t needed.” Shirley Eaton died March 9.

Main St., Middleville, Mi 49333 ______________ WSSN#4360______________ ■ FOUNDED /AM ^Ch IG Consumer Confidence/Water Quality Report 2018 Middleville’s Department of Public Works is pleased to present the Water Quality Report. This report is a snapshot of the quality of water that we provided to you in 2018. Included are details about where your water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to EPA and State standards. Our goal is to provide you a safe, dependable supply of drinking water. Trained, state certified personnel operate your water utility. It is our pleasure to provide you a safe abun­ dant water supply. I mW I ■■ ■ Your water comes from four ground wells, two of which are located near the water storage tower on the west side of town. A third well is located off Irving Rd. near the Village limits. 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. A b V 4 : -*v * Jjv For Your Information Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses health risks. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPA: Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791). Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general pop­ ulation. Immune-compromised persons such as those with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune sys­ tem disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen risks of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial con­ taminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791). I i% Contaminants and Sources * I c *•* s*? I I ill - • -- • Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treat­ ment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife. s w* • 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. 4 to E ■■ t 1MW I * • I Bl 1ty • • ' V4 •; 1 aaii Jii ' i ... JKretott Jinrrom i - ■ -Tq: rotanrtK I 3S11KKI :,n .Rai ft ■•TRtphKI L The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams 1 ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: b r i fc is b ® —I -1 si S® Kf ® ofc I • 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. • N/D: Non-Detects - laboratory analysis indicates the contaminant is not present • ppm or mg/l: parts per million or milligrams per liter o mg/l: one part per million corresponds to a single penny in $10,000 • 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.

Conforms 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 samples taken were all found to be negative for E. coli bacteria. 2017 Chlorine or Chloramines N _D S o F M A M J j A J Bacteriological sample site # 1 .56 .41 .77 .65 .56 .39 .27 .49 .2 a Bacteriological sample site # 2 40 .32 .50 .90 .50 .27 .14 .26 .26 .54 .36 .16 .73 .34 .48 .23 .32 .73 Bacteriological sample site # 3 .64 .46 .63 .50 .42 .54 .22 .78 .50 Bacteriological sample site # 4 N/A for RAA Average of all measurements in year covered .54 .39 .52 .70 .38 .42 .22 .46 .44 taken in the month by CCR 2018 Chlorine or Chloramines .60 .28 .43 .17 .32 .35 Bacteriological sample site # 1 .52 .59 .45 .47 .43 a Bacteriological sample site # 2 .36 .61 .39 .35 .35 .29 .57 .49 .29 .31 .40 .37 ■34 .50 17 35 35 .45 37 48 .28 26 40 Bacteriological sample site # 3 38 Bacteriological sample site # 4 .88 .75 .59 .34 .65 .44 .80 .53 48 .47 .46 .51 Average of all measurements .54 .57 .4 e .33 .45 .32 .61 .42 .42 .31 .36 .41 taken in the month e 4 e .4 .37 .53 RAA calculated quarterly of 12 monthly averages._____ Figures in this table represent the amount of total chlorine detected in our drinking water measured in parts per million (ppm). .36 Additional Monitoring Information Chlorine residuals; Chlorine is added to our drinking water as a disinfectant.

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 materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 800-426-4791 or at http://www.epa.gov/drink/info/lead. The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality has completed a source water assessment for community water supplies. This study evaluates community water source wells for suscep­ tibility 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 suscep­ . Results of the entire tibility determination. MIDDLEVILLE'S susceptibility is rated as 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.

He said his department’s Signs of Suicide program has been a tremendous success in the schools, and it will con­ tinue. In his answer to a question from Commissioner Vivian Conner, he confirmed that the suicide rate has gone up among seniors and farmers. Commissioner David Jackson asked for the best way to connect someone who’s at risk of self-harm with the county mental health authority services, “First of all, the data actu­ ally shows, if you engage that person and you actually use the word ‘suicide,’ the ‘S' word is not a bad word,” Thiemkey said. “If you actu­ ally ask them that question, the percentage of individuals that actually complete [the action] goes down. “I would say: The first thing is to engage them; to let them know that you carei for them.

I r । �The Sun and News. Saturday, June 15. 2019/ Page 15 ■ Summer weather is back and so is West Nile virus x ’v h. S' V •V ^1. Every year since 2001, Michigan communities have been affected by West Nile virus. This illness is most commonly caused by mosquito bites, which means that peo­ ple who live in an area with mosquitos are at risk of get­ ting the virus. Those who work or play outside are at the greatest risk. West Nile virus is not spread from person-to-person contact, such as hugging, kissing, touching or caring for someone with the virus. Most people (70 to 80 per­ cent) who have been exposed to West Nile virus do not get sick. When symptoms do occur, they appear three to 15 days after becoming infected from a mosquito bite, Symptoms include fever, headache, body aches, and sometimes skin rash and/or swollen glands. In some cases, the virus can cause encephalitis, or inflammation of the brain, which can be fatal or cause permanent damage. Anyone who develops any of these symptoms should call a health care provider. The risk of contracting West Nile virus can be low- ered if individuals follow these preventative tips: Use Environmental Protection Agency-registered insect repellents. The website epa.gov/insect-repellents/ find-repellent-right-you lists EPA-registered repellents. Wear long-sleeved shirts and pants. Dress children in long-sleeved clothing, as as well. Use mosquito netting over strollers, cribs, beds and when sleeping outside. Install screens or repair holes in screens around the home to keep mosquitos out- t J I Ji r V 'C> _ s Mft. > Business Services Help Wanted side 12 & 16 YARD Dumpster Rentals.

Beauty & The Beast is based off the movie of the same name which, in turn, had been based on the classic French fairy tale by JeanneMarie Leprince de Beaumont. With music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Howard Ashman and Tim Rice and book by Linda Woolverton, this “tale as old as time” is a classic story telling of Belle, a young woman from a provincial town and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped under the spell of an enchant­ ress. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he will be trans­ formed into his former self.

It saves you time, gas and it may be more relaxing for your pet. My services cover a 20 mile radius in and around Middleville & I Hastings area. 1 am a graduate of Michigan School of Canine Cosmetology and I am also certified in pet CPR and First Aid. My vision for Groovy Grooms is to provide a calming, gentle and compassionate environment for pets while they are receiving quality grooming. In a mobile grooming environment, your pet may have less stress due to the fact that they are never caged and are only in the salon for the amount of time it takes to complete their grooming services. I offer full grooming services for your pet, which includes a bath, blow dry, brush out, sanitary clip, hair cut (if needed), nail trim, ear plucking & cleaning, a spritz of pet-safe cologne, and a bandanna or ear bows. Prices are based on dog size/breed and coat condition. Extra services I offer at an additional cost are: expressing anal glands, dremel nails, teeth brushing, temporary hair color, and pet-safe nail polish.

The Headlee override goes into effect annually when property values rise at a faster rate than the rate of inflation. The non-homestead tax was renewed by voters in November 2015 but, because of growth in the community, the Headlee override has resulted in a reduction of the levy to 17.6399 mills, said Sara DeVries, the district’s director of finance. As a result of the Headlee rollback, the Caledonia schools lost about $72,000 in revenues last school year and will lose another $186,000 in the new fiscal year that begins July 1. If the override mea­ sure fails in November, that loss will exceed $300,000 in the 2020-21 fiscal year, Martin said. The non-homestead levy currently generates about $9.1 million in revenues for the Caledonia.. district. Martin said. 4 f “L • I 4 i I 1 i t i — »• si'*'* Mill _ ! 7M mbH □ihd I I• - ,‘easlG >1 . • 1.

On the second Thursday of the month, the Caledonia Historical Society holds its monthly meeting there. “I feel really proud that they did what they did, because of the space we have ” he says. Gackler has his concerns about the future, though Who will pick up the mantle and carry on the work he has done to date in preserving and documenting Caledonia’s history? “History gravitates to older people,” he points out. “I’m concerned about who’s going to do some of the things I do. The fact is, I’m getting a little bit behind in doing things I should be doing.” For now, Ken Gackler will continue to pursue his passion for history. He recently completed a four-booklet series depicting the history of the Thomapple Valley Pioneer Association, a social organization that existed from the 1880s to the 1940s, mostly consisting of people whose families had been among the community’s early settlers. “History gravitates to older people.

Under a plan presented Monday by district officials and Kent County Sheriff’s Deputy Patrick Frederick, classes at Caledonia High School would start at 7:50 a.m., five minutes later than last school year. Students at Duncan Lake and Kraft Meadows middle schools would begin class at the same time as last year, 7:40 a.m. The idea for the later start time for the high school is to reduce traffic congestion in the area area around around the the high high the school and middle schools, both at arrival and dismissal times. “We have a specific num­ ber of cars and buses converging in the same area, to drop off [students] at both middle schools, and five minutes later, at the high school,” Superintendent Dr. Dedrick Martin said. The proposed changes also would filter their way down to the elementary level because of changes in bus schedules for the middle and high schools.

They include construction of a lifting system on Pump Station No. 1, screening and grit-removal to prevent inorganic debris from getting into the waste water system, and converting a current bio­ solids storage tank to a sequencing batch reactor to treat sludge that comes into the plant. Construction is slated to begin next year and take about a year to com­ plete, Josh Redner, an engi­ neer for Fishbeck,Thompson, Carr and Huber, said. The wastewater plant has a rated capacity of 500,000 gallons per day and a peak flow of 750,000 gallons per day. The current average daily flow into the plant is about 420,000 gallons per day* “As you approach that rated capacity, EGLE has you start to evaluate expansion of the plant, so you don't run into a problem [in the future],” Redner said. “It is overloaded from a loading standpoint. The wastewater coming in has a higher strength than the typical standard.” Caledonia Township has had concerns about sodium and chloride levels in the water supply for years. In 2011, a sodium and chloride reduction plan was drafted. Still, chloride levels in groundwater samples taken from boundary wells near the plant came in at more than 250 milligrams per liter, while sodium levels topped 120 milligrams per liter, Redner said. In addition, the wastewa­ ter plant had violations of state environmental stan­ dards in 2012 because of inorganic nitrogen discharg­ es, Redner said. Most of the project - nearly $5.1 million - will be financed through the State Revolving Fund, which pro­ vides low-interest loans to finance water quality projproj­ ects around the state.

A current residential user can expect to pay an additional $16 per quarter in sewer usage rates as a result of the project, while a new direct connection to the wastewater system would cost about $4,000, Redner said.

His commitment and pride are obvious in many ways - love for his family, his community and his local school district, according to a press release from TAEF. Williamson has left a consid­ erable impact on all, but talks mostly about giving back to Thomapple Kellogg Schools, “Giving back to Thornapple Kellogg was very high on my list of prior­ ities. I always thought of school as a second home. People there have been good mentors and helped guide me to what I’ve been able to do,” he said. Williamson moved to Middleville from Grand Rapids when he was in the third grade and said it was the first time he really felt comfortable in school. There [Grand Rapids] it felt like it was survival, and then when we moved here, I felt like it was home - and just a good place to be.” “1 found a family in the school; teachers who cared enough to take you aside and deal with you as a friend and help you,” he said. “I hope it is still that way. This is a good place to raise a family and feel like you belong.” He’s most proud of his role as a founding member and the first president of the Thornapple Kellogg Alumni Association, formed about three years ago. “To watch it grow in such a short time is my reward,” he said. “I've used this dis­ trict for myself as a place to grow up, but I’ve put back into it as well. It’s called giv­ ing back.” This spring, the alumni association will award the Alumni Association first scholarship. As one of 49 members of the TK Class of 1957, Williamson also has been instrumental in estab­ lishing and awarding the Class of 457 Scholarship every year. He and his wife, Cathy, also started their own art scholarship awarded annually through the Thomapple Area Enrichment Foundation.

He said he will be forever grateful to the school and community. He volunteers every year to be part of the career fair at Page Elementary School and talks to students about finding their passion and meaningful careers. He tells them about his former high school art teacher, Edna Bender, who strongly encour­ aged him to pursue an art degree. After high school, Williamson began eightyears of service with the Army Reserves while also attend­ ing Kendall College of Art and Design. He earned a fine arts degree and later a mas­ ter's degree in fine arts from Western Michigan University, After working nine years in advertising and marketing, he returned to Kendall to become a professor and then later served as the dean of faculty for 29 years, His art teacher wasn't the only one he remembers playing a large role in his life, high During school, Williamson was a decorated athlete, earning four varsity letters each in baseball and track and three each in foot­ ball and basketball. Major League scouts visited to watch him play, and he eventually signed with the Detroit Tigers organization, playing with the Sullivans in the Grand Rapids City Majors, a Minor League team. “My coach, Bob White, was a very important men­ tor,” he said. “And there were many others.” While he’s been retired for several years, Williamson said art is still a big part of his life. “Painting or drawing every day is high on my list of me being me,” he said. “I paint for myself mostly. I give some of my paintings away and sell a few.” His “man cave “ in the basement of his home is filled with art supplies, paint­ ings he’s working on and several he’s already completed. He teaches art through TK's community education programs and offers private art is “The Reclaimed Spirit” sculpture and park in front of McFall Elementary. It stands as a lasting tribute to the for­ mer high school that was located on the site. The design features a curved walkway representin g the Thornapple River and the sculpture made from bricks of the old school shows the path from the past to the future. He also enjoys going to art shows and playing golf regularly. He and his wife have four grown children - Melinda Cutlip, Don Williamson Jr., Stacey Willshire and Ken Williamson - and six grand­ children. All of his children graduated from TK, and his grandchildren either gradualed from or are attending TK Schools " ’ ' now.

An analysis of traffic pat­ terns last year showed that it typically took between 15 and 25 minutes for a vehicle to get in and out of the stu­ dent parking lot, while wait times in the lot in front of performing arts center was 10 to 16 minutes, Frederick said. “We know that this [change] won’t reduce the number of cars and buses coming in, but if we give them more time to move out of the way, hopefully we’ll see a lot less dangerous drop-off location. Instead, the district proposes to have all parent pick-ups and dropoffs be done at the in the south parking lot leading into the performing arts center. The thinking behind the move, officials said, is increased safety for students. “By separating the two, you won’t have kids inter­ mingling with parents, on foot or in vehicles,” Frederick said. Some of the safety con­ cerns that were identified included parents rushing to drop off students and exiting the student lot, as well as students not using the cross­ walk to get from their park- behaviors,” Martin said, Other changes being considered include allocating all 620 parking spaces i for stu­ dents. Last year, 34 spaces on the student lot were reserved for food service workers and visitors. Those spaces would be allocated eisewnere on elsewhere campus. Student parking spaces would be numbered, and each student would have to park in an assigned space, Frederick said. Students would pay a $20 fee for parking pass, which would generate potential rev­ enue of $12,400 that could be used for parking lot improvements. Up until now, passes have been free to stu­ dents. Also proposed is increas­ ing the size of the existing crosswalk in the student parking lot and raising the path. New crosswalks would also be added on the service road east and south side, Crosswalks would be painted purple and yellow, which officials say would increase visibility, particularly in Technical Center came back to the high school for their final classes. “We had cars parked everywhere. We were about 30 spaces short,” Frederick said. More information on the proposed changes is expect­ ed to be sent out to district schools in the next few days, Martin said. inclement weather. Speed bumps also are planned along the main path­ way, with the goal of slowing traffic. Last school year, CHS issued 684 parking passes, and there were times when every available space in the student lot was used, particu­ larly late in the school year after seniors who had fin­ ished at Kent County । I I I, 1 •* I See us for color copies, one-hour photo processing, business cards, invitations and all your printing needs.

The county’s total net position was $42.8 million on Dec. 31, 2018, Verlin said. That figure theoretical­ ly means that - if all assets were sold and liabilities were paid off - that would be the amount that was left over. Auditors like to see that number trending up, he said. And that's exactly w hat it did for the county, representing a S460.000 increase over the course of the year. Verlin noted that the coun­ ty had a healthy increase over 2018: Cash in exceeded cash out by about S540.000 last year. Also, the total long-term debt decreased by about $1 5 million during 2018. A look at the changes in the net pension liability' and how well funded the county' is in covering that shows the following: To cover a total liability of $54.2 million, the county has set aside $38.7 i million has been set aside. That's a $15.5 million differ­ ence. Verlin pointed out. which means the county is 71.4 percent funded. “A lot of counties struggle to be north of 60 percent." he said. The county has consistent­ ly been paying more than the minimum amount. Anywhere from $500,000 up to $2.25 million is recommended. Verlin attributed this prac­ tice to prudence on the part of the county to ensure that enough resources are being put aside. Then he arrived at the total than enough to cover your retiree health care benefits. That’s ven unique. It’s just a sign of ... very stable and prudent financial management." This is not often seen. “I’ve been referring to it as an OPEB liability, but it's actually an OPEB asset.’’ A silence fell over the room w hen he concluded the presentation. “Definitely kudos to all the staff," Verlin said. Heather Chairwoman Wing said the kudos should go to County Administrator Michael Brown.

This means the count) has a net OPEB asset of $380,000, a remarkable amount.

Food and Drug Administration regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water, which must provide the same protection for public health. • N/D: Non-Detects - laboratory analysis indicates the contaminant is not present • ppm or mg/l: parts per million or milligrams per liter o mg/l: one part per million corresponds to a single penny in $10,000 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.

Maximum residual disinfectant level (MRDL) of four ppm has been established by safe drinking water rules. This is the highest level allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants. Maximum residual detection level goal (MRDLG) is the established level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. That level has been established at two ppm. Jan-Dec 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 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 materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 800-426-4791 or at http://www.epa.gov/drink/info/lead. The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality has completed a source water assessment for community water supplies. This study evaluates community water source wells for susceptibility to contamination. The evaluations are based on several categories which are well log and location, geologic sensitivity, well construction, water chemistry and isotope data, and isolation from sources of contamination. Scores of these categories are added for an overall well score. All well scores are totaled to arrive at a water system score, which is translated into a susceptibility determination. MIDDLEVILLE’S susceptibility is rated as moderate. Results of the entire assessment report may be viewed at the Village Department of Public Works during the hours of 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, Monday through Friday. 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.

Tanett Hodge Staff Writer Campers got to choose from soccer, basketball, track, cheer or art at the Gaines Church Free Mega Sports Camp last week. Coaches in each group introduced kids to drills and activities to develop their skills. Even preschoolers got in on the action in “rookies” camp, where they got to sample a new sport each night, The purpose is to provide a free sports and art camp in the community, where children can gain knowledge about their chosen activity in an environment where they learn confidence, their indi­ vidual value, and that they are loved by God. This is the 12th year Gaines Church has offered Mega Sports Camp in Caledonia. “Storyteller Kelly Dutcher did an amazing job bringing the Bible to life,” director Krista Noyes said. “Campers experienced the Bible in a relevant and visual way, get­ ting to participate in the stones. Noyes led action-based worship and life application lessons. Parents were invited Thursday night to participate alongside their kids. “This free camp is a great opportunity for kids to try new things and finishes with • I 99 families connecting and playing together,” Noyes said. Noyes said she felt like it was a success this year vear because campers, parents and volunteers left smiling. More than 225 children 3 years old to fifth grade attended the camp at Kraft Meadows Middle School. She said more than 90 volun­ teers served as prayer part­ ners, set-up crew, coaches, small-group leaders, snack crew, clerical prep, registration volunteers, audio/visual, storyteller, worship leaders, security and clean-up crew, Together, this team provided a fun four-day experience for tHE kids to learn and grow. “As a church, we want to invest in loving lovin others,” Noyes said.

TowerPinkster reviewed several county facilities in 2015 and developed the current space utilization at the Barry Eaton District Health Department building, 330 West Woodlawn. At that time, TowerPinkster also sur­ veyed the Friend of the Court building at 103 South Broadway. This time, the company offered four options: Buildanew20,000-squarefoot building as described in the 2015 report from TowerPinkster.

In other business, the commissioners discussed Geiger's proposal for a new method to recruit new members for boards and commissions. / Chairwoman Heather Wing expressed a concern that the proposal might be in conflict with the Open Meetings Act. After discus­ sion about how to rework the proposal, the board took a break for Geiger to modify the wording. When he returned and the meeting resumed, the board continued discussion. Then commissioners prepared to vote on the resolution as amended. Then, to the surprise of his fellow commissioners, Geiger said he couldn’t support it. “The changes significantly change the scope of it,” he said. The action was postponed to the next board meeting in a 4-3 vote, with Dan Parker, Dave Jackson and Conner voting against postponement and Howard Gibson, Wing, Smelker and Geiger voting for it. ► * Orthopedic Care Close to Home Bryan Kamps, MD, is a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon.

During Tuesday’s meeting of the Committee of the Whole, Planning/Zoning Administrator Brian Urquhart explained that the process was initially brought to the board in 1989 when the orig­ inal resolution was passed but the resolution carried an incorrect legal description. The council then passed the correct documentation in 2005, but it wasn’t reported within a mandatory 30 days to the Register of Deeds office. Therefore, it didn’t satisfy the title company. 1 Runners running along Johnson nii Freeport woman dies in two-car collision 1 A LSfflOW 1 toib ishujni 03 TEO vlul lo OlIT ismoo ibooW lanwoT Taylor Owens Staff Writer A 53-year-old Freeport woman, Lori A. Russell, died Friday as a result of injuries sustained in a twocar collision on the Fourth of July. The crash occurred at the comer of Eckert Road and Wood School Road in Irving Township Thursday, accordI ing to the Barry County Sheriff’s office. Sheriff’s deputies said Russell was eastbound on Eckert Road in a Dodge Caravan at 2:14 p.m., when a Dodge Journey failed to stop at a stop sign and crashed into the Caravan. The Journey was driven by a 55-year-old man with three women passengers, by fall of 2020. & chose The village to move on to the full council a rec­ ommendation to work with Williams and Works to devel­ op design work to add street improvements to East Main Street from Grand Rapids Street to Irving Road. According to Weeks, the road is in need of resurfacing and sanitary sewer repair. He added that the project would require a curb on both sides of East Main Street and a sidewalk/bike path on the south side of the road, but separated from the road, The project is expected to cost approximately $290,000. Weeks believes funds could come from the Local Developing Financing Act and the major street fund.

On his way to the photo shoot, next-toyoungest brother Tom Bremer and his wife were in a car accident and were not able to be there. It was important to the family to make sure he was part of that new memory, so they used PhotoShop to insert him into the picture.

Bus is rolling along in its second year, connect­ ing books and young readers throughout the county. The school bus-tumed mobile library is jointly owned by the YMCA of Barry County and operated jointly by the Y, Delton Hastings, Kellogg, Thornapple Kellogg and Maple Valley schools, along with Thomapple Credit Union and Hastings Public Library. The B. Bus is visiting neighborhoods throughout the county on specific week days during . the summer, weather permitting, through Aug. 16. Participants can check out books, listen to stories and engage in activities, free of charge. The B. Bus offers books for infants through adults. Books in Spanish, infant through adult, also are available. Not only do youngsters avoid the “summer slide,” a proven setback in learning over the summer, they can read their way to rewards. The B. Bucks Rewards pro- grams offer a way to earn items such as Frisbees, sports balls, jump ropes, pencils, water bottles, coffee mugs and more. Teens and adults also can earn and redeem B. Bucks. Participants who earn Worker Bee status can trade in for rewards such as Dairy Queen Blizzard coupons, T-shirts, an evening campout (top 20 readers from each district), and a school sup­ plies package.

Collectively, we enjoy many liberties, but some freedoms can be elusive - and finan­ cial freedom is one of them. What actions can you take to help yourself eventually declare your own financial independence? For starters, you’ll want to determine what financial independence means to you. Is it the liberty to meet all your cash flow needs? The freedom to retire comfort­ ably, at the age you choose? The ability to set up the kind of legacy you’d like to leave? If any or all of these things are important to you, consider the following sug­ gestions: • Liberate yourself from oppressive debts. The cost of living is certainly not cheap, so it’s hardly surprising that so many people incur significant debt. Yet, the higher your debt load, the less you’ll have available to invest for the future. Debt might be one of the biggest barriers you face on the road to your financial indepen­ dence. To avoid piling on too much debt, live within your means. Take steps such as saving for a vacation, rather than putting it all on your credit card, and getting just one more year out of that old car. Look for bargains every­ where - and find out what you can live without. And if you have sizable debts, see if you can consolidate them and lower your interest payments. • Free yourself from cha­ otic investing. The financial markets can be unpredictable - but that doesn’t mean your investment moves have to be chaotic. So, for example, instead of responding to a sudden plunge in stock prices by selling stocks that still may be fundamentally sound with strong growth potential, you might bemuch better off by holding your ground. And you’ll bein a better position to do nothing during periods of market volatility when you you’ve ’ve already already done done somesomething - namely, built an investment portfolio that reflects your goals, time horizon and risk tolerance, With this type of portfolio in place, you’ll be in a good position to overlook the day to-day fluctuations in the market and keep your focus on your long-term goals. • Unleash the potential in your retirement plan. Your 401(k) or similar employer-sponsored plan is a great # way to save for retirement. You can contribute pre-tax dollars, so the more you put in, the lower your taxable income, and your earnings can grow tax deferred. (With a Roth 401(k), you put in after-tax dollars, but your withdrawals are tax-free, provided you meet certain conditions.) But despite these tax advantages, your 401 (k)’s full potential won’t be real­ ized unless you fund it adequately. Try to contribute as much as you can afford each year and increase your contributions as your salary goes up. Another way to uncap your 401(k)’s potential is by choosing appropriate invest- J* s 17 Si ® I IL r May-Cee Tait, in front, and Jenna Walters, from Middleville are “B. Keepers” this ments.

Two off-duty Michigan State Police Troopers were driving west on State Road into Middleville when a vehicle rear ended them at a high rate of speed. A witness said the vehicle did not slow downi before crashing into the offi­ cers. The 17-year-old driver of the vehicle appeared to be intoxicated and was unaware of the date or his address.

There are two new proposals for the Barry State Game Area (BSGA) and the Yankee Springs Recreation Area (YSRA), moving the location of the shooting range on the BSGA and altering an area of land open to hunting on the YSRA. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources will be taking public comment on these proposals July 10, from 4-6 p.m. at the Barry State Game Area Office at 1805 S Yankee Springs Road. The first proposal is to move the location of the existing shooting range on BSGA. The current range is located off from Yankee Springs road approximately 1.5 miles north of M-179. The range is at the end of a long two track that leads to a parking lot in the middle of the section. It consists of a parking area, a small earthen berm to shoot into and a mowed area for skeet shoot­ ing. This shooting range has been part of the game area for over 40 years.

Nashville Village Council President Mike Kenyon said the council will likely vote on an ordinance to opt out at its next meeting. But he stressed that the village would gather more informa­ tion and public input before making a more permanent decision. Hastings has already joined many local townships V gl — Taylor Owens Staff Writer Michigan municipalities and townships were expect­ ing the state Office of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) to have a draft of its recreational marijuana retail rules by June but that deadline has been missed. “It’s probably the most anticipated thing in the State of Michigan right now,” former state representative and current recreational marijua­ na consultant Mike Callton told the Banner Monday. Like many others, he had heard from LARA Marijuana Regulatory Agency Director Andrew Brisbo that the first draft would be out in June, but Callton said LARA is a bureaucratic organization, and can take time to sort out all the issues. “Everything is more com­ plicated than you think its going to be,” Callton said. But he said LARA still has a long way to go until the Dec. 6 deadline when the rules must be finished. At a Nashville Village Council meeting Thursday, June 27, Callton encouraged the council to adopt an ordi­ nance to opt out of allowing recreational marijuana dis­ pensaries, at least until the state releases the rules. “There might be some­ thing in the rules that will be a deal-killer,” Callton said.

(Photos by Greg Chandler) I I 4 I Greg Chandler Contributing Writer A well-wisher walked up to Cliff Wenger last Saturday and greeted him by saying, “Happy birthday, young I ” man! Wenger beamed, turned to the person sitting to his right and said, “You hear that? He called me ‘young man’”! About 75 family members and friends turned out at Grace United Reformed Church near Alto to celebrate Wenger’s 100th birthday. They came out to celebrate someone whose upbeat, can­ do spirit has certainly been a factor in his longevity. The son of a veterinarian, Wenger was bom in 1919 and grew up on a farm on 76th Avenue in Caledonia Township. He attended local schools and stayed pretty much in the area until the break out of World War II. In July 1941 - five months before the Japanese attack on Pearl Pearl Harbor Harbor - Wenger enlisted in the Navy, mostly, he said, because he did not want to be drafted into the Army. Working as an aircraft mechanic, Wenger was sta­ tioned at first in Corpus Christi, Texas, and later in Hawaii. In fact, he was at Pearl Harbor when the war ended in 1945. Working on airplanes helped Wenger develop skills working with metal that would lead to a variety of jobs after he returned to West Michigan. He first was hired as a blacksmith and eventually became a go-to source for anything having to do with repairing metal parts, The Wenger family gathers I4 whether it was on the job, or as a favor to family or friends. “Someone would ask him, ‘Can you fix this?”’ Larry, one of Cliff Wenger’s four sons, said. “He'd say, T think I can take it home and work on it.’ He could fix just about anything.” ‘ That positive spirit applied as well to developing tools for Wenger’s various proj- ects. “If I needed a tool in my shop, I made it,” Wenger said. “If somebody brings you something that’s got to be repaired, you’re on the spot. You have to figure out some way to do it.” Wenger passed along his love of working with metal to his grandson, David, who credits Wenger for teaching him the skills he learned to • BW develop his own metalwork­ ing business. Grandpa made me a forge out of an old water tank and a railroad track anvil,” said David, who now lives in Hudsonville. “That started me making knives, and I went on my own from there.

If the Township is approved for the grant, it would receive funds that would provide 75 percent of what the State appraises the total worth of the necessary land to be. “This is break through stuff for us,” said Township Supervisor Mike Bremer, who noted that residents have been asking for some time when the trail would be expanded. “It’s “really a huge step for our community” stressed Supervisor Bremer. The source of any and all funds for the grant would “This is break through stuff for us. It’s really a huge step for our community.” Mike Bremer, Thornapple Township Supervisor come from the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund.

Middleville renews insurance with MML V oriT lionuoD art t to ii; h .2T£SY □•fl bm; zinimbB bsoiv jrunu?nl qsrfT yiilidsil Ian Watson Contributing Writer The Middleville Village Council approved the renewal of the Michigan Municipal League liability pool during its July 9 meeting. In recent years, the village has participated in the Michigan Municipal League Liability and Property Pool which is administered by the Risk Management staff and ser­ viced by Meadowbrook Insurance Group. The premium for the MML liability pool for 2019-20 rose to $26,287, a $3,083 increase from last year’s $23,204 partially due to the village is insuring three more vehicles this year than last year. However, because of a refund of $2,228 that the Village is receiving from MML, the real dollar amount the village will be paying for this year’s premium will be $24,059. Village Manager Duane Weeks explained the refund is a remainder of what the village contributed to the pool last year that wasn't utilized by the MML. Weeks further commented that the coverage cost the village receives from the MML is “considerably less than what we’ve been able to get through private care.” The village also approved Williams & Works to begin designs on a public restroom that would be built just north of the Village Pavilion. The next Middleville Village Council meeting will be at 7 p.m. on July 23 in the Village HalL Ian Watson Contributing Writer Customary' township business was placed on hold Thursday night as the Yankee Springs Township board lis­ tened to Trustee Larry Knowles and his attorney discuss three allegations and subsequent investigation by the Barrv County Sheriff’s Office. The three allegations were made before and after Knowles' time as a township trustee and all three, after investigation by the sheriffs department and review by the county prosecutor, have been dismissed. “[a]fter a review of the police report and supporting documents, 1 found no viola­ tions of a criminal law,” stat­ ed Barry County Prosecutor Julie Nakfoor Pratt in an email to the Sun News, “therefore no charges will be filed against Mr. Knowles.” The firs; ^cusation against Knowles centered on his action to begin a recall peti­ tion against his now-fellow board trustee, Shanon VandenBerg. The second accusation and the one that has been the main focus in township affairs — is the allegation that Knowles could not serve in his role as trustee while also being employed as the direc­ tor of the Gun Lake Area Sewer and Water Authority due to the relationship between the two public bod­ ? ies. The third accusation was registered by a former GLASWA employee who implicated Knowles in alleged wrongdoing. Knowles was “subject to three criminal investigations conducted by the Barry County Sheriffs department each of which resulted in findings on April 11 and April 15 by the Barry County prosecutor that no crimes occurred,” Don Davis, Knowles’ attorney emphatically pointed out to trustees on Monday. Davis was highly critical of the first two investigations for even occurring “despite there being no relevant crim­ inal statue” implicated in the investigations, according to Davis. Township attorney, Catherine Kaufman was also in attendance at Monday's meeting and agreed with Davis and the Barry County Prosecutor that Knowles was not subject to any conflict of interest. “1 don’t think you're doing anything unlawful” stated Kaufman to Knowles and then commented that the township is “back at the same place we've been before,” in reference to this same con­ clusion that Kaufman had provided to the township in the past. Supervisor Township Mark Englerth, took issue with how Davis delivered his case during the meeting, stat­ ing later that “he (Davis) cer- tainly put some spin" on the police report. Davis, when questioned about Englerth's comments, said, “everything is from the police report" and that any criticism of what Englerth has over what he said at the meeting is just criticism of the police report. In other news the township: • Approved an increase of 2.8% to the salary of Township Assessor Dan Scheuerman. The 2.8% in dollar terms is a raise of $1,280, increasing his current salary of $43,860 to $45,140. • Approved a total amount of $6575.24 to pay for tire replacements on Engine One and a water hauler for the Yankee Springs Fire Department. • Approved a payment of $4,910 to Fleis & VandenBrink in for well testing in the township. • Voted 3-1 to not proceed with any negotiations with Barry County for the hiring of more police officers in the Yankee Springs area. Englerth was the only no-vote in the decision, as he believed a great police presence was necessary to combat the rou­ tine increase of public disturbances that befall the Gun Lake area in the summer. The next Yankee Springs Township meeting will occur at 7 p.m. Aug. 8 in the Township Hall, New assistant principal hired at TKMS Andrew Augustin has been hired as the new assistant principal at Thornapple Kellogg Middle School to fill the vacancy created by Lyndsey Fischer’s move to a new position. Prior to TK, Augustin taught four years of English Language Arts at Plainwell Middle School, four years of English at Edwardsburg High School and one year of ELA with Kalamazoo Public Schools. He also had the opportunity to coach various sports and extracurricular activities over the last nine years. He coached track, cross country and basketball. Augustin received his Bachelor of Arts degree and teacher certification from Grand Valley State University. After a few years of teaching, he pursued his first master’s degree from Ball State University in the area of curriculum and edu­ cational technology. He went on to receive a second mas­ ter’s degree from Central Michigan University in edu­ cational leadership. “My family and I currently live in Wayland, Michigan," Augustin told students and parents in a letter to the dis­ trict. “Meghan, my wife, and I have two daughters...and a bichon-poo, named Remus (a Harry Potter reference).

It’s imperative for learning that students feel safe and have positive connections with teachers and staff.” He noted that state grant funds are being used to help with the cost of the new posi­ tion. • Fischer said she sees her responsibilities as basically two-fold. The first part will be instruction, where she will help in the classrooms and with teachers and bring back learning labs to assist stu­ dents. A second part of the job will focus on mental health and the multi-tier sys­ tems of support with consis­ tency throughout the district. Several years ago, the dis­ trict implemented a positive behavior support system. This school-wide system offers proactive strategies for defining, teaching and sup­ porting appropriate student behaviors that will help cre­ ate positive school environ­ ments. It focuses on teaching and rewarding positive behaviors. “There’s an academic and a social, piece to the new job,” Director of Curriculum Kim Chausow said. “We’re adding this new role to make our MTSS and PBIS efforts stronger and we plan on offering more supports for each building.” Fischer served two years as Thornapple xKellogg Middle School assistant principal. Prior to that she was interim assistant principal at TK High School one semes­ ter and taught health and physical education there for 12 years. She is a TK graduate and has spent all but one year of her teaching career in her home district. Gun Lake Tribe powwow is this weekend ij asm >s;iaE 4 v Student behavioral and mental health issues are often big challenges for school teachers and administrators. In an effort to strengthen a proactive district-wide sys­ tem, Thornapple Kellogg Schools has created a new administrative position to oversee and assist with edu­ cating, assisting in class­ rooms and providing resourc­ es for students, teachers and families. Lyndsey Fischer was recently named the district’s new administrator of behav­ ior/mental health supports and instruction. Some of the measurable goals of the position include decreasing the number of school discipline referrals and suspensions, increasing students receiving school and community men­ tal health services and increasing student engage­ ment in school. Fischer said she’s excited about the challenge. Her role as middle school assistant principal last year focused largely on student behavior issues. “I’m just taking it to a larger scale and will work with the entire district,” she said.

Frazier has held the camp for three years through his foundation — Frazier Cares. The free camp was held Thursday for kids grades 3-8 “Not a lot of guys in the NFL come back to their hometown to host a free camp,” Frazier said. He added that the camp taught general football drills, but the main a oal was “to have fun” Three Brothers Pizza owner Paul Ordway met Frazier at the gym while Frazier was a collegiate play­ er at Central Michigan University. Now, Ordway is in position to donate pizzas to Frazier’s camp to feed 200 kids. Frazier and his team came to Three Brothers to thank and show their gratitude to Ordway. Frazier signed a Kavon Frazier jersey for Ordway to hang up in the restaurant. “We wanted to thank Paul for his generosity,” Farris said.

(Photos by Hunter Dood) Bench honors man who loved fair Julie Makarewicz r Contributing Writer Don Geukes’ absence at the Barry County Fair this year was noticeable to many, but they also were able to look around the grounds and see all that he helped make. Geukes died unexpectedly at his home July 21,2018 the last day of the fair a year ago. This year, a wrought-iron bench was dedicated in his honor. Donated by the Livestock Development Committee, the bench fea­ tures a farm scene with the 4-H emblem on each side and “In Memory of Don Geukes” across the back. It will become a permanent seating addition to the grassy area around the show arena. In addition, funds from memorial contributions in his name were used to add more paved pathways on the fairgrounds. The area run­ ning adjacent to the grand­ stand was paved and appro­ priately named “Geukes Drive.” Geukes was respon­ sible many years for organiz­ ing and bringing in the enter­ tainment at the grandstand for fair week. He loved the Barry County Fair and left a legacy, having been a fair board member for more than 35 years and looked for ways to continue improving the fair. He was instrumental in moving the fairgrounds from downtown Hastings to the current 160acre location on M-37. Other board members said Geukes saw the vision for the Expo Center and fairgrounds p noG kG adJ w T£9y MJ lud |i£ ?lool lifi 992 kiaD 1 girl J£ J2£l 9dJ eirlT rionsd .io nod )J29V1J imnioD £ 291U1 19 H-T F bn£ 29^U9D )d lliw gnil£92 |O1£ £9T£ pt ni fl .» 4 J r] T 4 refill ni£n gid req 9iom ■Joigik'i lib£ gnrri bv/ baste YlsJsnq ff.9vnG tarn sldis bnn gni Jnsmnkt y ik't iol Zol 9H bns ii£H d £ fI99d 1) 9iom 1 to)lool livoiqmi amirrteni f * iiaaH isrilO oqxH 7 I .* * i T.< J- Contributing Writer barbershop local received approval from the Village of Caledonia on Monday to hold a benefit next weekend to support an organization that provides wigs for children dealing with hair loss resulting from cancer and other ailments. Kings Room Barbershop will hold Locks4Rock from 3-6 p.m. on Sunday, July 21, at its Caledonia location at 9028 N. Rodgers Ct. The event, which will include live music from three local bands, will benefit Wigs 4 Kids, a Michigan­ based nonprofit that provides wigs for children who have lost hair because of cancer, alopecia, and other ailments. Kings Room co-owner Andy Skiver said They do not charge the families for the wigs,” said Colleen Bennett, who co-owns Kings Room with Skiver, “they donate them to the families.” The council also approved a request by Kings Room for a license allowing for the use of amplifiers as part of the benefit. This comes a month after the council passed an that change ordinance allowed the use of amplifiers within the village on a Sunday, under certain condi­ tions. Prior to that change, the village had banned the use of any sound amplifiers on Sundays, no matter the purpose. There was some debate over the ordinance wording prior to the council vote. Village Manager Jeff Thornton said he understood See locks, page 2 & to be used for much more than just the one-week fair. The Expo Center has become home to many community events, events, tournaments tournaments and and pripri­ vate events, such as wedding ancj graduation parties, antique shows, horse shows and more. In charge of grandstand events, Geukes was scouted other fairs for new ideas to bring to Barry County. President Fair Board Dennis Redman said Geukes has been greatly missed. “He did so many little things that we just don’t even think about and no one really even knew he did. He just did them. We miss him,” said Redman. In his early years, Geukes showed beef cattle and sheep at the fair and paid for his college education raising and selling calves. He had both the champion and reserve 4 —**1’ mV. ■.* - —1 - IK W * 7 ■■ I ■ I■ i I champion steer at the 1957 fair. Even Geukes’ profes­ sional career intertwined with the fair.

He was the third generation of the Geukes family to operate the business, which started in Middleville in 1929.

The entry was written three years after the accident and she wrote how things have changed since the accident.

Saturday, July 13, 2019/ Page 5 State releases marijuana rules 5 Taylor Owens Staff Writer The first and long-antici­ pated rules governing recre­ ational marijuana businesses were released by the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs on July 3, but it will still take weeks for munici­ palities and potential busi­ nesses to figure everythin out in the 64-page document. “It was a real lot to take in,” said Middleville Village Manager Duane Weeks. “We’re kind of in a research stage right now trying to understand the rules.” Weeks and other elected officials and municipal employees participated in a webinar Tuesday, offered by the Michigan Municipal League and hosted by LARA Regulatory Marijuana Agency Director Andrew Brisbo. Hastings City Council member Brenda McNabbStange said the webinar was helpful in clarifying many issues and pointing out the major points of the new rules, but not every question was answered. “Some of the answers were ‘talk to your attorney,’ because they’re not about to give legal advice,” McNabbStange said. “When it comes to legal issues, there’s not a lot of guidance out there.” Both Weeks and McNabbStange agreed that the new rules for recreational mari­ juana did not contain any major surprises, since many of the regulations are similar to regulations । Si overning medical marijuana. But a major difference is the possibility of licenses for temporary events, which is unique to recreational mari­ juana. The regulations also are called “emergency rules," which are in place for six months, with the possibility of renewal for another six months. How much those rules may be tweaked once they become more permanent is still up in the air. But most local municipali­ ties have already taken steps to adopt ordinances that disallow recreational sales, which will give them more time to understand the rules •h •। «!• Ji Ik '*• k * I1 J* St fS is v J - and make a decision on whether to allow it or not. Most townships and villages have said they will return’to the issue once the full rules are released. The ordinance passed by the City of Hastings is set to expire May 30, 2020, to ensure that the city council will vote on the issue once it has all the facts. Weeks, the Middleville village manager, pointed out that the regulations are complex, and could be studied for weeks without answering every question. He anticipated that the Middleville Village Council will have a discussion in in August August or or September on whether to reconsider its vote to opt out of the new regulations entirely, or to wait until it has more information. “I expect a deep discussion will take some time, time/” McNabb-Stange said. Her biggest ennepm concern is that recreational marijuana is still illegal at the federal level, and she questioned if allowing the sale of recreational marijuana will hurt Hastings’ chances of receiving some federal funding and grants, She also wants to know if municipalities can decide how much they want to opt in, and to what degree they can limit businesses. McNabb-Stange said some people take the view that. that, because the majority of Barry County voted for the proposal on the November 2018 ballot, municipalities should vote to allow the sale. But she said she does not believe that was necessarily the case. She believes, on the one hand, that many people voted for the proposal so it would no longer be a crime to carry and use marijuana. On the - - allowing other hand, she said, businesses to sell it is a different issue for each municipality to decide, “I'm all for what we can legally do and what makes sense for the city.” McNabbStange said. Her goal is for the city council to make a decision on whether to opt in before LARA begins accepting business applications Nov. 1.

Benedict Laura Lynne Smith Laura Lynne Smith, loving wife, committed mother and adoring grandmother, left world on July 11,2019 taken to a new home on the wings of angels. A long-time resident of Middleville, Laura truly resided in the hearts and souls of her family. Bom in Wyandotte on June 3, 1953 to parents LennY and Mary Kay Wheatley, her life truly began anew in 1971 when she enrolled at Hope College. Laura fell in love with West Michigan and met her future soulmate the ^irst day of school. The rest became a history of accomplishment with this being the final chapter on this earth as sbe begins a new book in the next. .!4 After graduating from Hope in 1975, ly/s, Laura began ber first journey as a teacher at Maple Valley Schools “ teachin — eventually teachins for 37 years within the district, She changed too many lives to count through her selfless dedication to students, to bring always workin them to their highest potential without holding anyone back. Laura married her college companion on April 2, 1977. She and Dave were not only husband and wife, but truly best friends which helped in raising their three sons Ryan, Eric and Jarod. These boys were always counted among her major achievernents in life as she watched them grow. As time changed tl randchildren an^ grandchildren came, Laura retired from teaching to enjoy her expanding fam­ ity; Laura began JRecently _ _ working as an aide at the Litde Lambs Co-Op Preschool in Alaska,- where she could be with her grandsons and re­ main in touch with children. She spent hours in her Hower gardens, pulling grass from their edges to replant as clumps in the yard to thicken the lawn. She was an avid rug hooker as well (whose last unfinished work was of our Keeshond, “Rudy” whom she loved and who will miss her dearly). Laura was pre-deceased in death by her father; her in-laws (who embraced her as a daughter, Bea and Jay Smith), and two uncles. She leaves behind her husband, Dave; her brother Dave Wheatley; her three sons, Ryan, Eric and Jarod; a daughter-in-law, Sarah, and grandchildren, Taylor, Kaleb, Jordyn, Kameron, Logan and Uriyah. Laura was a woman full of life - a little bit sassy and a lot of sweat, welcomed into Heaven far too soon. She will be missed as much in this world as she will be celebrat­ ed in the next. Be at peace, our Dear Love - we will al­ ways remember. Relatives and friends may meet Laura’s family 5 to 7 p.m., Sunday, July 21, at Gun Lake Community Church, 12200 West M-179, Wayland, as well as one hour prior to the service at the church. The funeral ser­ vices will be held at 12 p.m. Monday, July 22, 2019 at the church. Memorial contributions can be made to the Little Lambs Co-Op Preschool in honor of Laura’s love for children. The family welcomes memories and messages in their guest book on line at www.kubiakcook.com. MIDDLEVILLE, MI Darlene Rae Benedict, age 54, passed away peacefully on July 16, 2019.

July 13, 2019/ Page 7 State Police urge extreme heat protections through Saturday FINANCIAL FOCUS 1 Provided by Andrew McFadden and Jeffrey Westra of Edward Jones Life events can lead you to see a financial advisor Over the years, you’ll experience many personal and professional milestones. Each of these can be satisfying, but .they may also bring challenges especially financial ones. That’s why you may want to seek the guidance of a financial professional. Here are some of the key life events you may encounter, along with the help a advisor financial can provide: • New job - When you start a new job, especially if it’s your first “career-type” one, you may find that you have several questions about planning for your financial future, including your retirement. You may have questions about how much you should contribute to your employer-sponsored retirement plan. What investments should you choose? When should you increase your contributions or adjust your investment mix? A financial advisor can recommend an investment strategy that's appropriate for your goals, risk tolerance and time horizon. • Marriage - Newlyweds often discover they bring different financial habits to a marriage. For example, one spouse may be more of a saver, while the other is more prone to spending. And this holds true for one investment styles n * I Hl F An A ■111 ■ spouse might be more riskaverse, while the other is more aggressive. A financial can advisor help recommend ways for you and your spouse to find some common ground in your saving and investment strategies, enabling you to move forward toward your mutual goals. • New child - When you have a child, you will need to consider a variety of financial issues. Will you be able to help the child someday go to college? And what might happen to your child, or children, if you were no longer around? A financial advisor can financial present you with some options, col lege-savings as education such an savings plan, as well as ways to protect your family, such as life insurance. • Career change - You may change jobs several times, and each time you do, you’ll need to make some choices about your employer-sponsored retirement plan. Should you move it to your new employer’s plan, if transfers are allowed? Or, if permitted, should you keep the assets in your old plan? employer's Or perhaps you should roll over the money into an IRA? A financial advisor can help you explore these options to determine which one is most appropriate for your needs. • Death of a spouse Obviously, the death of a spouse is a huge emotional blow, but it does not have to be a financial one especially if you’ve prepared by havin the correct beneficiary’ named on retirement accounts and life insurance policies. Your financial advisor can help ensure you have taken these steps. • Retirement - Even after you retire, you’ll have some important investment decisions to make. For one thing, you’ll need to establish a suitable withdrawal strategy so you don’t deplete your retirement accounts too soon. Also, you still need to balance your investment mix in a way that provides at least enough growth potential to keep you ahead of inflation, inflation. Again, a financial advisor can help you in these areas. No matter where you are on your journey through life, you will need to address important financial and investment questions, but you don’t have to go it alone a financial professional can help you find the answers you need.

WAYSCAPE COUNSELING AND COACHING mm With heat index readings expected to surpass 100 degrees across much of lower Michigan today, the Emergency Management and Homeland Security Division of the Michigan State Police is urging resi­ dents and visitors to stay protected during the extreme heat. "Extreme heat has the potential to be life-threaten­ ing as heat and humidity put stress on the body,” said Capt. Emmitt McGowan, deputy state director of Emergency Management and Homeland Security. “By takin ii the proper precautions, you can minimize your risk of heat- related illness and be ready to assist those who are most affected by severe heat." To prepare for extreme heat: • Cover windows that receive moming or after­ noon sun with drapes, shades, blinds or awnings to reduce the amount of heat that enters a home. • Listen to local weather forecasts to stay aware of upcoming temperature changes, • Check on family mem­ bers or neighbors who are elderly, young, sick or over­ weight, as they are more susceptible to excessive heat. • Ensure pets have cool housing areas and plenty of water, • Learn about available cooling centers or public locations with air condition­ ing in the community.

I I i f 9 > f �wo* -*• Page 8/The Sun and News, Saturday, July 13. 2019 Barry County added to CWD Management Zone A series of deer hunting regulations aimed at slowing the spread of chronic wasting disease were approved July 11 by the Michigan Natural Resources Commission at its regular monthly meeting in Lansing. The action came after a thorough review of the best available science on chronic wasting disease (CWD) and multiple opportunities for public input. Chronic wasting disease first was discovered in Michigan in a free-ranging deer in May 2015. To date, more than 60,000 deer in Michigan have been tested for CWD and it has been confirmed in 120 free-rang­ ing deer in nine Michigan counties, including a few on the outskirts of Barry County. Clinton. Dickinson, Eaton, Gratiot, Gratiot. Ingham. Ionia, Jackson, Kent and Montcalm. Barry County will be added to the CWD Management Zone this year, where additional regulations will apply, along with the Lower Peninsula Counties of Lenawee and Midland. CWD is a fatal neurologi­ cal (brain and nervous sys­ tem) disease found in cervids (deer, elk and moose). The disease attacks the brain of an infected animal and pro­ duces small lesions that result in death. There is no cure; once an animal is infected, it will die. Major deer hunting regu­ lations, which were approved for the 2019 deer seasons, unless noted otherwise, also include: BAITING AND FEEDING Continue a ban on baiting and feeding in the entire Lower Peninsula that took NOW OPEN IN CALEDONIA Now Scheduling FREE CONSULTS PT could help you relieve pain without surgery & prescription drugs - Open 7am-7pm most days - Accept most insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid Call 616.528.8388 to schedule a free injury consultation NORTHERN Physical Therapy 9321 Cherry Valley, Ste D., Caledonia .northernpts.com VILLAGE OF MIDDLEVILLE 123816 COUNTY OF BARRY PUBLIC NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on August 6, 2019, at 7:00 p.m., the Planning Commission of the Village of Middleville will hold a public hearing at the Middleville Village Hall, 100 East Main Street, Middleville, Michigan, to hear and consider comments regarding proposed amendments to the Village Zoning Ordinance.

The Caledonia Township Planning Commission Monday unanimously approved a special land use permit for the new 5300-square-foot event cen­ ter, as well as additions to two other buildings at the club, located at 9038-92nd Street S.E. Pat Howard, facilities manager and superintendent at Saskatoon, said recent business growth at the club prompted the decision to seek construction of a perma­ nent structure. “We're getting more out­ ings and larger outings," Howard said. “Currently, any (event) over 130-140 people, we have to put them in a tent. That's not ideal for us or the outing. It's expensive for them and we have to absorb some of that cost ” The pavilion will be open on three sides, with a wall to the rear of the structure. Down the road, we may close it in, as business allows,” Howard said. In addition to the new pavilion. pavilion, commissioners approved paving the parking lot, which is currently gravel. Howard says there are some nights when those spaces fill up quickly, On a league night, there's cars parked everywhere - in the ditch, in the yard," he said. “I think you allow two cars for every golf hole. On league nights, they all play nine holes. They come in 44 *4 their own cars. Nobody car­ pools.” There are 329 parking spots at the club at the pres­ ent time, Howard said. The club w ill also be put­ ting in additions to its main­ tenance building and cart bam as part of the special land use that was approved. The original clubhouse at the club is scheduled to be tom down. “It's an eyesore,” Howard said.

Michigan High School Athletic Association member schools continued to experi­ ence a decade-long decline in enrollment in 2018-19, and participation across 28 sports for which the MHSAA spon­ sors postseason tournaments also decreased slightly. However, while the drop in enrollment was 1.28 percent from the previous school year, participation fell only 1.03 percent as four sports repeated in setting records. A total of 281,992 participants competed in MHSAAsponsored sports this past school year. 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. Boys participation fell 1.2 percent to 161,614, and for the first time in four years also girls participation decreased, by eight tenths of a percent to 120,378. However, both reductions were smaller than losses in enrollment of 1.36 percent for boys and 1.19 for girls.

Blitchok missed his threepoint attempt, trying to match Remenap. Corlett made his try from behind the arc. Bertolini’s granny-style shot flew wide of its mark. That left Remenap and Corlett in a shoot-off on the Dream Court Hastings. in downtown Hastings, Remenap opened the shootoff with another three-pointthat missed. Corlett stepped to the free throw line and knocked down a shot to be crowned the event cham­ pion. * While he couldn’t con­ vince tournament officials that the tournament should * be moved to Delton due to his victory, Corlett was awarded with a plaque to commemorate the event. The athletic departments from all four school systems which are a part of the Barry County Area Chamber of Commerce were also each awarded with a $150 donation from the chamber. “(Remenap) is a much bet­ ter ballplayer than I am. It was just luck,” Corlett said Monday. There were highlights for ballplayers all around the Barry County Courthouse Saturday and Sunday. The tournament grew to new heights again in 2019, up to 244 teams. That is 10 more teams than in 2018, the Hastings Macker’s previous high. The 2018 and 2019 Macker have shared a mid-July weekend, and the tournament continues to see a boost thanks to the move from late June. Kim Martin from the Barry County Area Chamber of Commerce once again took the lead on organizing the Macker tournament, “I am all about the schools, and all about athletics. I just though (the superintendent competition) would be a good way to open the tourna­ ment. Plus, a lot of the super­ intendents are brand new. Hastings’ is brand new. Maple Valley’s has only been • j % I J there half a year. ’s is in maybe his second year is all. We thought maybe this would be a great way to get the county schools involved and seeing as how we are a county-wide chamber it was a good way to get the whole county involved.” School athletes were once again instrumental in getting the tournament running and getting town back to normal at the end of the weekend. The Hastings High School boys’ basketball program took their usual set-up role Friday evening and the Hastings High School foot­ ball program took care of the tear down on Sunday after the final ballgames finished up around 4 p.m. “We are lucky enough to get Gus Macker himself (Scott Neal) at the tourna­ ment. He makes the event fun, running the Dream Court and all that,” Martin said. “It worked out great. The weath­ er was great, a little warm but not as warm as last year.” I 4 « f f >» I * I K.

However, Caledonia plan­ ners are still showing little interest in encouraging the establishment of canna­ bis-based businesses or mari­ juana facilities in the village. They will give residents a chance next month to state their feelings on the issue. On Thursday, the Planning Commission directed village attorney Mark Van Allsburg to draft ordinance language that would allow Caledonia to block the creation of mari­ juana facilities, either for medical or recreational pur­ poses, and cannabis-based retail businesses. A public hearing on the proposed ordi­ nance will take place at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 22, at the village hall, 250 S. Maple St. “We’re doing our due dili­ gence to find out where this topic fits into the communi­ ty,” Planning Commission Chairman Jason Wangerin said. “If we don’t exhaust our resources on our part, from a village standpoint and a tax­ payer standpoint, then we have not done our jobs.” In last November’s vote on Proposal 1, the legalization question, village voters split evenly - 376-376. That led 44 lage),” Murphy said, The township voted it down with all their space and not regu­ lating it to one little comer of the township, and here we have this small space of our village, with schools and churches within. I think it’s not a good idea to have such businesses open where children can be exposed to it, where there is going to be adults very willing to sell to them.” A recent survey was mailed to 95 businesses in the village, of which 18 responses were received, Sixty-three percent of the respondents opposed marijuana facilities for recre­ ational use, with a smaller percentage opposing similar facilities for medical use. The proposed ordinance would also likely allow the township to opt out of allowing marijuana testing facili­ ties, processors, growers and secure transporters.

Since then, a three-mem­ ber subcommittee has been gathering information on the pros and cons of allowing marijuana-based facilities, While there may be some opportunities for the village to gain tax revenue from allowing such facilities - the state can collect a 10 percent excise tax from retail sales of marijuana - commissioners unanimously almost expressed concern about the downside, “Based on what I've seen it has the potential to draw more resources away from the community than it does to add resources to the community,” said Commissioner Eric VanGessel, who also serves on the Village Council, “I see very little likelihood we’ll get a slice of the excise tax pie.” Van Gessel, Wangerin and Commissioner Sylvia Murphy made up the sub­ committee that reviewed the new state law, what local communities have done in response to the measure and collected feedback from resi­ dents and businesses. Murphy drew comparisons between the village and Caledonia Township, where a majority of voters opposed Proposal 1. “It is a small area we're talking about (in the vil- a 1 Firefighter douses TK Library’s summer readers Yankee Springs board continues quarrel noT 9VO I ssiiwY zidi /oiqqB fl iisM Heil Jjejhoo b oj yon .£ nO vig OJ J J arrodJuD je ionq Township attorney, expresses frustration over reauests that seem retaliator board.

A second issue was tied to a recall petition against Vandenberg, and a third focused on allegations of wrongdoing by Knowles against a former GLASWA employee. Englerth criticized the timing of Knowles' resolu­ tion, saying it should have been added at the start of the meeting when the agenda could be amended. “I think when you do it at the end of the meeting, if you want certain people to con­ tact the attorney, and you ask for information and didn’t share it until after the meet­ ing started, I think that’s called blindsiding some­ body,” Englerth said. “The reason we have an agenda and set the agenda ahead of time is so all the board [members] have time to look The vote was taken 25 min­ utes later.

Held in down­ town Middleville that August, the inaugural event attracted nearly 1,000 attend­ ees from throughout the region - despite torrential rain and tornado warnings in neighboring counties. The event followed up with a successful sophomore frame the following summer in Freeport, in conjunction that with community’s ‘Homecoming’ festival in July. Last year saw BrewFest in Delton the same August weekend as its annual Founders Festival. “Last year was our biggest turnout to date,” said Travis Alden, event organizer and president of the Barry County Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development Alliance. “We heard through­ out the day that attendees either hadn’t been to Delton in quite a while, or it was their first time to the commu­ nity other than driving through. That’s really the point of moving this event each year - to attract area visitors to our great Barry County communities.” The fourth annual Barry County BrewFest is Saturday, Aug. 3, from 2 to 8 p.m. in downtown Nashville. Featuring specialty brews, hard ciders, wine and mead from 22 of Michigan’s best craft breweries, BrewFest will offer something for everyone, he said. “People love to come to festivals like this to sample new brews, explore trends in the industry and overall just have a great time,” Alden said. “It’s an event that really works well to attract folks for the day and give them an ii)WUsic opportunity to check out the town while they’re here ” Bringing visitors to the small communities throughout Barry County is one of the chamber’s goals for the event. BrewFest is intention­ ally held in a different loca­ tion each year. “I volunteered last year to see how the event is run, and it was really great seeing the influx of visitors to Delton from all over the area,” said Lori Courtney, owner of Court-Side Screenprinting & Embroidery in downtown Nashville and Hastings. “I’m really excited to have Brewfest in Nashville this year, welcoming so many from all over Michigan and beyond to our community during sesquicentennial weekend.” While it is a logistical challenge to plan for BrewFest in a new location each year, it is well worth the effort, according to chamber officials. “The chamber’s office is in Hastings, but we are truly a county-wide organization,” said Rob Ranes, chair of the chamber board of directors and senior vice president at Highpoint Community Bank, “This event helps us develop deeper relationships in each community and bring some new activity and energy to each town.” As the event continues to grow over time, event organizers anticipate a snowball effect that will positively impact Barry County as a whole. “Awareness for this event is high locally, and I’ve heard from a whole lot of people who have attended all three Brewfests so far who are also coming to Nashville,” Alden said. “And these are folks who might not make the trip to Nashville otherwise. Then next year, the same thing will happen in the host communi- Aug. 2 6:30pm Stagecoach Park ty. It’s sort of a multiplier that will will help helpeach each town town that that that hosts hosts BrewFest. BrewFest.”” “The Nashville area has a lot lottotooffer, offer,but but sometimes sometimes itit takes an event like BrewFest to get on people’s radar and get them to stop here and check things out,” said Kermit Douse, chairperson of the Nashville Sesquicentennial Celebration planning committee, committee. “I attended BrewFest last year, and it’s the kind of event that will work well with our sesquicentennial plans to bring people to town to have a good time, and hopefully come back again soon.” While the brews take cen­ ter stage at the event, Brewfest is coinciding with the three-day celebration of its 150th anniversary of Nashville’s founding. The weekend offers a slew of additional activities, ranging from a parade, historical pre­ sentations, live music, family activities, a world-re­ cord-breaking attempt and more. “We were looking for a way to help our sesquicen­ tennial have a broader reach throughout the area, and col­ laborating with the Barry County Chamber was a no-brainer,” said Tanett Hodge, Nashville Village Council member and part of the sesquicentennial commit­ tee. “We’re excited to show Follow th< Sun N ew% on Facebook to> keep up tqj date until the new edition is printed! everybody a great time and create for create lifelong lifelong memories memories for our our community. community.”” More about the sesquicentennial be tennial celebration celebration can can be found at nashvillel50.org. Tickets for Barry County BrewFest are $15 in advance (available online, at CourtSide or at the chamber office) or $20 at the gate. Admission includes access to the event, a commemorative 5-ounce tasting glass and five tasting tickets. Admission is $5 for designated drivers, and free for anyone under 21 years old. These attendees will not be served any alcohol. The website barrybrewfest.com has event information, a brewery list, and option to purchase advance tickets. I I tuOT <5^ ► Fireworks approved for TK football games Ian Watson Contributing Writer Cue up the celebrations. The Middleville Village Council approved a permit at its meeting on Tuesday allowing the Middleville Lions Club to set off fire­ works during TK High School home events. The Middleville Lions Club first petitioned the vil­ lage in the fall of last year for permission to operate fireworks celebrations during TK High School home foot­ ball games. The initial, and now approved, idea was to set off celebratory fireworks during, before and after the game such as a setting of “four shots [of fireworks] when the team takes the field.” After much deliberation through the end of last year and much of the start of this year, the Village Council implemented the “Consumer Fireworks Displays” policy which would allow for fire­ works usage outside the state-sanctioned fireworks days. The state’s new policy allows applications for fireworks permits for certain days and times with safety conditions that must be met. While a majority of the Council seemed open to the idea from the beginning there were and still are holdouts to the policy, one being member Mike Lytle who has consistently voiced concerns over how the fireworks display could disturb Veterans near and around the football field. The Village approved the Lions’ Club permit by a 4-2 voice vote on the condition that Fire Chief Randy Eaton gives his approval for the permit application. Council members Lytle and Ed Schellinger voted no; Council member Mike Cramer was absent from the meeting, ~ other ' - Village In news the Council: Directed village staff to move forward on a resolution Sun published by... that would accept a property donation from resident, Sim Maier. The village had com­ missioned a survey of Maier’s property, as there was some concern that there could be a “gap” in the property that may actually be owned by another third party. According to the survey results, “there is no gap” and thus very little to no risk in moving forward on the dona­ tion. Approved the East Riverbank Park master plan designed by Williams & Works. The village will now begin the process of deciding what components of that plan to incorporate into the construction of the park as well as adding the cost of compo­ nents into next year’s budget. ■ 9 f I The next Middleville Village Council meeting will be held at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 6 in the Middleville Village Hall.

Modem opioid drugs can be filled with a mixture of different kinds of synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl, which may be far more powerful than the user is expect­ ing and can lead to an over­ dose. “People are being encour­ aged to not use (opioids) alone, or to use in a public place," Barry County Special Abuse Task Force Coordinator Liz Lenz said. One place some people are choosing to use opioids is a library, because it’s free and they can find a quiet place to be left alone. Hastings Public Library had some staff trained to use Narcan and stocked kits last year. Library Director Peggy Hemerling said the library has not had cause to use it, but she has talked to a library director in a like-sized com­ munity in another county who had no Narcan supply when a victim overdosed in the library. “All they could do was call 911 and watch as this person couldn’t breath, and they felt helpless,’’ Hemerling said. While she hopes the library never has to use its Narcan, Hemerling said she is glad the state legislature voted to remove liability from local libraries. The staff members at the Hastings library were trained in a program hosted by the county’s SATF group, which also presented a training at the Delton District Library on July 10. Delton District Library Director Cheryl Bower reported that around 25-30 people attended the training and received free Narcan treatment samples. Some of those trained were her staff, which will keep kits at the library. “Why wouldn’t you want to save somebody?’’ Bower asked. Other libraries, such as Thomapple Kellogg School and Community Library, Lake Odessa Community Library and Putnam District Library in Nashville are still looking into the issue, Township Vermontville Library Carla Director Rumsey said she prefers to use Vermontville EMS, which is directly across the street from the library, in the event of an overdose, Lenz said the SATF will host the free training for as many people as they can. “The more people that we have educated about the potential for overdose in public settings and the need to have Narcan. its all good," Lenz said. “I wouldn’t rule anybody out.’’ She stressed the use of Narcan is not ideal and that the best form of prevention is educating people so they don’t become addicted to opioids. Narcan, though, is another tool to help people. she said. Lenz also pointed out it does not harm the per­ son being administered the nasal spray, even if they are not having an opioid over­ dose. The training and Narcan kits are paid for through a from Southwest grant Michigan Behavioral Health. Putnam District Library will host a free training ses­ sion by the SATF from 6-7:30 p.m. on Thursday Aug. 8.

July 27, 2019 Locks4Rock is hair-raising success Maggie Varney of Wigs 4 Kids measures Erin Ledkins’ hair to see how much can be cut for a ponytail. At right is Erin’s mother, Tammy, and Kings Room co-owner Colleen Bennett. Greg Chandler Contributing Writer Mark Braun of Ravenna sat in the lobby of the Kings Room barbershop in Caledonia Sunday, waiting to get his shoulder-length hair cut. It isn’t often that Braun’s hair meets a pair of scissors or a razor blade. But that day, he was willing to part with some of his locks to support Wigs 4 Kids, an organization that provides free wigs to children in Michigan who have dealt with hair loss resulting from chemotherapy treatments for cancer or from alopecia, an autoimmune disease. “This is something good for the kids,” said Braun, who works as a welder. “I’ve had my fair share of time spent at [Helen] DeVos [Children’s Hospital] with one of my daughters.” As Braun’s wife, Kris, and daughters Alexa, 6, and Mackenzie, 4, looked on, barber Vic Juarez transformed Braun’s look. Meanwhile, Kings Room co-owner Andy Skiver cuts the hair of Erin Ledkins, 13, of Marne. The new-look Mark Braun after his haircut. the hair that was cut was turned into several ponytails, which will be used to help create a wig. More than 20 people donated their hair Sunday Mark Braun of Ravenna waits to get his hair cut with his family (from left) daughter Alexa, 6; wife, Kris; and daughter Mackenzie, 4. had hosted similar events at its locations in Wyoming and Plainfield Township in the past, but it was the first time Kings hosted Room Locks4Rock at its Caledonia location, 8980 N. Rodgers Court, SE. Wigs 4 Kids was created in 2003 by Maggie Varney, a licensed cosmetologist and salon owner from the Detroit suburb of St. Clair Shores. She created the organization after an encounter with a teenage cancer patient, when she learned that kids who deal with hair loss from an illness didn't have any options for wigs. Since its founding, Wigs 4 Kids has provided wigs to more than 4,600 children in “We Michigan. help everyone. We charge nothing. We turn no one away,” Varney said, noting that her organization relies on donations and fundraisers in order to made the wigs possible. But the support children receive through Wigs 4 Kids goes beyond the wigs themselves to include counseling for kids and their families. “After working with the kids for a couple of years, I realized that they needed more than a wig,” Varney said. “The wig is what gives them the confidence,. the1 self-esteem to go out into society and look and feel like a normal kid. But they need to heal, to go out with friends, to be with other kids like during Locks4Rock IV, an event to raise awareness (and hair) for Wigs 4 Kids at the Kings Room.

A total of 62 ponytails were donated during Locks4Rock. “That’s enough to make six wigs for children in need, since it takes about 10 to 12 ponytails to make one wig for a child,” Varney said. One of those who donated hair was 13-year-old Erin Ledkins, of Marne. Her mother, Tammy, is a friend of Kings Room co-owners Andy Skiver and Colleen Bennett. “I think it’s pretty cool,” Tammy Ledkins said. “She's excited. She's been wanting to [donate] her hair for a while. It’s a good opportunity to something good for [others].” Skiver cut about seven inches off of Erin’s hair, leaving enough for her to be able to braid it when she’s cheerleadin: at her school this fall, The activity at Locks4Rock wasn’t limited to the haircutting inside the barbershop. Three local bands performed just outside during the event. Jason Eller, a Grand Rapids-based musician who worked with Kings Room and Wigs 4 Kids to organize the event, had his hair cut by Bennett while he played his guitar and sang. “He came to us years ago and said, ‘I want to cut my hair while I'm up on stage singing. Will you do it for me?’” Bennett said. “That’s how it started. The first year we we didn’t have a name went to Celebration on the Grand [in Grand Rapids], and we cut his hair off while he was signing. I think we cut six or eight ponytails that day.” Bennett said she was thrilled by the turnout and that Kings Room may host future Locks4Rock events. “It was such a great response. It makes me want to do it more often. I wish people’s hair grew faster,” she said.

Native grasses and wildflowers were planted as a prairie habitat in that space. “This is a space that we use for our science class­ rooms, and it also benefits the environment as it pro­ vides habitat for many organ­ isms,” science teacher Ben Howell said. Unfortunately, prairie hab­ itats can sometimes be mis­ understood. “When it comes to protect­ ing the environment, every- one loves and fights for trees - which is great,” Howell said, “But prairie habitats, to many, can look like just a bunch of weeds.” So, Howell was asked by administration to try and help educate the school and community about this valuable resource. “We want to make sure that people understand that we didn't just forget to mow the lawn in front of the school, but instead have a prized resource,” Howell said. Some of the steps Howell has taken this summer have been volunteer workdays and a prairie hike that took place last week. Howell said the management of such an area involves trying to limit invasive species while giving native species some added help. He said left to its own, invasive species will monop­ olize an area and take over, “Then you end up with only one set of blooms for the whole growing season, Howell said. “In a native prairie habitat, we strive for a diversity of plants, which means you can expect blooms from different plants starting in May and going all of the way through October. This, in turn, brings in many Students from the environmental club at the high school planted common milkweed insects and birds to the area and gives us the diverse hab- plants that were raised from seed and grown in the high school greenhouse.

Middleville marks 185 years this month I < Another look at the village’s centennial The July 4,1974,Sun and News looked back on centennial Middleville’s from a mere 40 years earlier. So, it's been 85 years since this article first ran, looking back on the celebration that marked the village’s 100th anniversary. The 1934 reprint was prefaced with a 1974 introduction: In August of 1934, Middleville observed its 100th anniversary of Calvin Hill’s settlement in Middleville. Although the community did not become an incorporated village until 1867, the town figured it was time for a centennial. Besides, it probably gave folks something to think about rather than those hard, Depression-racked times. In that same paper, the Riverside Dairy advertised milk for 8 cents per quart, and the Farmers State Bank was in business with an assurance to its depositors that their sav­ ings were “now insured to the extent of $5,000. *5 Beginning Wednesday evening with several conces­ sions open for business, and early Thursday morning with the firing of guns, the Home Centennial and Coming swung into full speed ahead. Main Street was a scene of flags and bun“Welcome with tings Centennial Visitors” and all along through the residential sections floated the Stars and Stripes. The forenoon was spent in getting ready for the big parade and other parts of the program. Long before the appointed hour for the parade, the crowd began to gather, a crowd of people Middleville has never witnessed before. The parade, forming at the school grounds, was^ led by the Postum Band of 56 -piec­ es. Behind it as tar as the eye 4 Between the Prairie Literary Club, established in 1900, and the Prairie Garden Club that participated in the 1934 Middleville centennial, the common geographic feature likely was Scales Prairie, land that today still is owned and farmed by many new generations of the same families.

Fairchild got up early for 6 a.m. volleyball practice. The high school boys’ basketball teams got the gymnasium after school so the volleyball teams made due. On the bal­ cony above the bleachers was where the few years of high school gymnastics at TKHS took place, and with little conflict between vol­ leyball and gymnastics com­ petitions she joined the gym­ nasts in the afternoon. Her afternoons and eve­ nings are still filled with gymnastics. Fairchild’s Gymnastics in Motion (GIM) in Middleville is celebrating its 30th anni­ versary this month. Fairchild started working at Caledonia Gymnastics in downtown Middleville, where her son Brandon Moma took classes. She bought the business from its owner in 1989 changing its name to Gymnastics in Motion. “1 probably had 30 or maybe 40 kids total,” Fairchild said. “I had two or three kids on team.

Consequently. counties with major medical centers typically have a much higher number of deaths with injuties that may have actually occurred in another county. deJong said, This medical examiner’s report, provided to the Barry of Board County Commissioners recently, was the first since the county con­ tracted with Western Michigan University Office of the Medical Examiner to provide services that started on Jan.

She said the 60 or so current gy mnasts set for a sleep over at the gym were joined by five or six former gymnasts who came back to have snacks with the new team and spend the night. “That was kind of nice that they think of it as a fun place, a safe place, kind of •I like their second home, Fairchild said. *< Therapy at The Laurels Medical examiner’s annual report documents deaths in Barry County Rebecca Pierce Editor What’s killing people in Barry County? According to the county ’s medical examiner. Dr. Joyce deJong, if the death in Barry County in 2018 was acciden­ tal. it was most likely due to falls (8) or vehicles (7). Of the 146 cases in the county reported to deJong's office last year, the manner of death was most likely nat­ ural (113), followed by acci­ dents (21), suicide (9), and homicide (2). Of the 21 accidental deaths in Barry County last year. 4 were drug related. The total number of deaths in the county - 390 last year — was low, comparatively speaking. For example, deaths totaled 772 in Allegan County. 1,495 in Calhoun County and 2.977 in Kalamazoo County last year. But the lower number of deaths in Barry County may not be due solely to a smaller population or healthier life­ style. The report notes that the total number of deaths are recorded in counties where the individuals were pronounced dead - rather than the county of residence or the county in which the incident leading to the death might have occurred. For example, if a motor vehicle crash occurred in throughout the season, starting in September, the gym is full from 4:15 pan. until nearly 9 pjn. Fairchild said the biggest challenge she foresees for GIM in the future is having enough gym space for every­ one that wants to be includ­ ed. She expects another bump following the 2020 Summer Olympics next sum­ mer. It is a regular occur­ rence every four years. She said the gym sees about a 25 percent boost in attendance. The year before Fairchild took over the program the entire United States gymnas­ tics team, both men and women combined, earned a single bronze medal at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul. South Korea. As USA gymnastics has grown, so has gymnastics participation around the country. The USA led the gymnastics medal count at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The USA women won the team all-around title in •razil. with Simone Biles adding an individual all­ around gold medal as well as gold in both the floor exer­ cise and the vault. The gym has also seen participation rise asthe sport of competitive cheer has grown Amber Snow, one of the Middleville coaches for Champion Force cheerlead­ ing said her program started working at the gym about a dozen years ago and GIM of Medical Examiners (NAME) accreditation stan dard requires 95% of exam­ ination reports to be complet­ ed within 60 days; however, our office is proud to say that, on average, over 85% of our examination reports are completed within 30 days, rather than 60 days.” deJong wrote. “We provide answers to families, law enforcement, public health, and other inter ested parties 30 days sooner than most medical examiner offices, including our own just two years ago. In addi­ tion. we remain fully accred­ ited by bv the National Association of Medical Examiners.” Much like 2016 and 2017. drug-related deaths, primarily from opioids, remained high in 2018. she said, They participate in the Swift Toxicology for OpioidRelated Mortalities Related (STORM)surveillance project funded by the state to allow public health and law enforcement rapid access to opioids showing up in the community. deJong noted. “Between these results, which are ready w ithin a few days, and autopsy reports. typically ready within 30 days, we provide data and reports to various agencies who are working to combat this crisis, a crisis that overall Phyllis Harrold * was admitted to the Laurels of Sandy Creek for rehab after a recent hospitalization. The doctors felt Phyllis would benefit from therapy to help improve her strength to he able to return hack to her home. “It's never easy coming into a new environment that you are unfamiliar with. I was nervous and didn't know what to expect. ” After just a few short days, Phyllis was able to adapt to a care plan that was based around her current needs. She could feel herself getting a little stronger each day. “I feel like the therapist really identified my needs and was able to offer a wide variety of exercises that I was comfortable with. I was very impressed with the team and would recommend anyone to consider the Laurels of Sandy Creek for any therapy needs. * In addition to therapy needs, Phyllis required a sizable amount of care during her stay and with the help of nursing staff, she has come a long way! “The staff really do care about the residents and their needs.

Centennial queen found home and family in Middleville Sjlft jjU The 1934 centennial queen Orpha Headley was not born in Middleville, nor is she buried there. But, it was her hometown, and the title was significant enough to be men­ tioned in her obituary 64 years later. She was born Orpha May Edgecomb Oct. 2, 1914, in Fife Lake near Traverse City. As an infant, she was adopted by Melzor and Alice Headley of Grand Rapids. The family moved to Middleville when Orpha was a young girl. She attended Moe School and graduated from Middleville High in 1932. The month of August 1934 was an exciting one for her: She not only reigned as the centennial queen, she also became a bride. She married Texas-born Rev. Paul Fields Aug. 10, 1934. They had three children before her husband died in a plane crash in Tuscola County in April 1940 at the age of 29. Five years later, Orpha married Lloyd Dundas and had two more children. She and Lloyd were married 50 years before his death in April 1995. She worked for a time at Middleville Manufacturing and E.W. Bliss, but mainly took care of her family as a home­ maker. She was a member of Whitneyville Bible Church, where she taught Sunday school for many years. She and her second husband are both buried at Dutton Cemetery. Her Aug. 25, 1998, obituary in the Sun and News men­ tioned, “She was crowned Middleville’s ‘Centennial Queen’ in 1934 as the community celebrated its 100th birthday." 0 D Wheel Alignments Auto Glass Installation Insurance Work Welcome Visa & MasterCard Accepted fel7JW ini jirW teilh h'shck SJiikiW 4« bis i kjrtj •Wk# Sikaf IB I -; V t ■ D MLLI JS Hi, Over 30 years experience FIREKEEPERS IOTH ANNIVERSARY SESSIONS SATURDAY, AUGUST 10.12 PM & 6:30 PM Come celebrate with us during these special matinee and evening sessions with $1,000 payouts for all regular games!

According to the Michigan Department of Corrections, nearly one in four Michigan prison inmates had some form of mental illness in 2018 - at an annual cost to taxpayers of more than $36,000. “There are also costs to our child welfare system as children can be placed in foster care as a result of their parents' addiction or mental illness,” she said. “We believe it’s really important to address those conditions early on.” o FULL SERVICE 7 PRINTING €4 t i5l J -Ad Graphics «T «i te *■ E isaaBZi H iE > - - f — * i -'7/ . . & * / I / / 1 I i I r / ill I A EXAMINER, continued from page 1 is showing no significant evi­ dence that it is waning,” she wrote. Each of the counties has a Child Death Review Team that meets with a frequency reflective of the number of child deaths in the county. Law enforcement, public health, child protective ser­ vices, hospital personnel, school representatives and many others attend these meetings. “When I cannot personally attend the meeting,” deJong added, “another forensic pathologist is almost always able to step in to attend these meetings, working with oth­ ers in the community to iden- tify why children die and what can be done to prevent deaths in the future. “I am especially proud of our continued very high referral rate to Gift of Life for deaths occurring outside of a health care facility. In some counties, it appears the numbers declined a bit, but, in reality, our referral process simply became more refined to include deaths that meet the criteria for donation of tissues, heart valves and corneas. “Our partners at Gift of Life assure us that our counties remain amongst the top referring counties in the state, providing opportunities for families to possibly have their grief tempered by the knowledge that their loved one gave a gift that helped others.” I recognize that this doc­ ument is full of numbers, tables and charts," deJong said. “It is not lost on us that each number represents the death of a person, someone who was possibly a parent, grandparent, spouse, child, relative or friend to others.” “The deaths also represent a loss to our communities,” she concluded. “We dedicate this report to the memory of those lost and to those who have suffered the loss of a friend or relative in 2018.” 66 > * right equipment to handle your needs. • COPIES -BLACK & WHITE OR FULL COLOR K • PROFESSIONAL BINDERY 4 - • LARGE FORMAT PRINTING • PRESENTATIONS HIGH QUALITY COMMERCIAL • MANUALS & BOOKLETS • LAMINATION 4 • FOLDING r PRINTING • GRAPHIC DESIGN SERVICE • MAILING SERVICES r a \ pOLAR^ COPIER PAPER$O£50 * by the case for only \ J* 1* JL v *■ K f See us for color copies, one-hour photo processing, business cards, invitations and all your printing needs. u 1 I 4 tM I r/ * 1351 N.

The man said the 29-year-old Hastings driver had stolen the vehicle from his own step-father. An officer told the man to stop following the vehicle for safety reasons and chased after the vehicle at around 100 mph. The vehicle even- tually crashed into a wooden post and some trees near Sam’s Gourmet Foods on Gun Lake Road. Three men and one woman got out of the vehicle and started run­ ning, while another woman got out and stood next to it.

Two other officers had arrived and detained the two female pas­ sengers. The driver said he did not steal the vehicle because it belonged to both him and his step-father, but when the complainant con­ fronted him at a friend's house, he sped away to try and lose him. Later, when the driver saw the officer’s lights, he tried to run because he has a warrant for parole violation and did not want to go back to jail. He said the two other male occupants also had warrants, which is why they ran. All three men were taken to jail.

If you have a child or another family member with disabilities, you obviously have concerns and questions. How can you help your loved one achieve the greatest quality of life possible? Can you arrange for adequate services? What’s the best way to pay for them? Can you get some financial help? Fortunately, you are not alone. Your disabled family member may well be eligible for several government But programs. these programs won’t cover everything, so you may want to help close the gaps. Yet, some government benefits impose eligibility restrictions based on the level of assets or resources available to the recipient, which means the financial help you’re willing to provide could backfire unless you establish a special needs trust. A special needs trust allows the beneficiary - your family member - to receive government benefits while still receiving funds from the trust. You, as the donor, supply these funds, while a trustee holds and administers them according to your wishes. Generally speaking, the beneficiary can’t use the trust for basic support food, clothing and shelter or to receive benefits that can be provided by the government. Instead, the trust can be used to provide do-it-yourself not a endeavor. In fact, creating this trust can be complex ' For one thing, there are a: few different types of special needs trust, so you’ll need to determine which is right for your needs.

Venema has announced her resignation as clerk effective Friday, Sept. 6, say­ ing she will take a position in the private sector. Venema's decision has triggered discussion among township board members about the future direction and staffing for the clerk’s office. At the core of the discussion is whether the new clerk should be full-time, as Venema was, or whether the elected position could be part-time with enhanced staffing to handle the day-to- day responsibilities of the office. “When Jen goes out the door, a lot of what she has provided over the years is going out the door with her," Treasurer/ township Richard Administrator Robertson said. “The idea is, OK, do we try to find a per­ son who is willing to be appointed to that position, and a year from now, run the risk of not being elected to that position? “If we’re looking for an experienced full-time person to take that job, would that person [take] that job on the chance that a year from yesterday, they may not survive the primary election? In spite of their skills, they might not be that well-known in the community, or there may be somebody that's more wellknown or popular that takes on [that role].” Venema told board mem­ bers that if the township decides to make the clerk part-time, staffing will need to be increased to address the various responsibilities of the office, particularly since the new clerk would have three major elections to work on next year, including the November presidential vote. “With the changes in elec­ tion law, there's going to be so much more time invested in elections that you're going to have to add a few hours in the budget in major election years just to keep the rest of See CLERK, page 3 New office building gets go-ahead in Caledonia Township Greg Chandler Contributing Writer A new professional build­ ing will soon be added to the Cherry Meadows Business Park in Caledonia Township, The township planning commission Monday approved a site plan for the 8,976-square-foot building at 6505 Cherry Meadow Drive, Construction is expected right away on the building, although no new tenants for the structure have been iden­ tified, said Steve Witte, a project manager for Nederveld Inc. of Grand A stagecoach serves as Middleville’s logo, on paper Rapids, representing the and on wheels.

Drain Barry county Commissioner Jim Dull informed the board that the inter-county Saddler Drain, located south of Orangeville Creek on Patterson Road, is no longer needed. He men­ tioned that the township was garnering no public benefits from it, so he suggested a petition to have it abandoned. After much conversation, the board actuated the petition and approved a resolution to file the petition and abandon the drain. Trustee Bob Perino made the motion, and Trustee Linda Ribble supported it. Dull also told the board there is an issue with the latest assessment on the Dam. Orangeville The assessment had cost $3,000 and the bill was still outstanding; but according to Dull, no one knew who to send the bill to. The bill had been left in a revolving fund, prior to Dull assuming his position, he said. This information led to a conversation between the board, Dull and resident Realtor Larry Ritchie, who was on the agenda for new business later in the meeting It was agreed that there was no known ownership of the property in question, “The township is responsi­ ble for the east side of the dam,” Dull said, “but not the dam itself, from what I understand. No one knows who is responsible for the bill. bill.”” Dull asked the board if it would be possible for the township to take ownership of the dam and assume responsibility for the bill, Another option mentioned was for the drain district to buy it or for the township to make an easement possible and gift it to the drain dis­ trict. One of the concerns on the township's part is the liability it would put on the township if someone were to be injured, “If sold to the drain dis­ trict,” Clerk Mel Risner said, “it would need to be deeded to say it stays open for use so we don't lose that privilege, If gifted to the township, we are simply concerned about liability.” Ritchie had gone to the board meeting with a con- r ' >• cern about the issue and brought up the fact that Mill Pond, also known as the swimming hole, would suffer ifif the the dam dam were were To To be be sold sold and and for for some some reason reason didn't didn't stay stay in in place. place. ““It It’’ss been been aa part part of of our our history and culture for many years, and 1 would hate to see that change," Ritchie said. He expressed concern for the Gordon and Francis Bourdo family, who owns the piece of property the dam is on. He spoke for the fami­ ly, who was in attendance, saying they had swam there for generations, but would be willing to give the township approximately one acre of that property. After throwing around many ideas, the board decid­ ed to research to see if they could work out a joint ven- commis­ ture with the drain commission, so all can continue to enjoy Mill Pond. The topic was tabled for future discussion. The next topic of conversation also involved water, as Dull announced that Crooked Lake in neighboring Barry and Prairieville townships had gone down 5 inches from its highest point. “The pump is working, and we are going to upgrade See DRAINS, page 7 In This Issue • Middleville property rezoning begins, again • Engineer to assist Caledonia Township with trail development • New vehicles ordered for Caledonia Township fire department • TK Schools start Aug. 20; open houses Aug. 19 �Z/Tht Sun tmO htewt.

Hermcnet spoke regarding the need for signage along the township's existing trails. Such signs could include trail maps, but also could include rules ■ al*’ against certain behaviors, such as riding golf carts on the trails. "ICs up to us to decide, but we at least need to have something (that says this is] a non-motorized trail - some sort of basic rules ” Hermcnet said.

The fire department recently sent out a request for proposals from local dealerships for the trucks.

Venema was appointed township clerk in February 2006, beating out nine other candidates who interviewed with the board over two nights. At first, her position was part-time, but it grew into a full-time role in 2008. In addition to overseeing elections, Venema provided administrative oversight over the township’s five cemeter­ ies, handled information technology duties and human resources for the township, managed township facilities, served as Freedom of Information Act coordinator and managed the township website. Venema was honored last Michigan year as the Township Clerk of the Year by the Michigan Association of Municipal Clerks. She was serving as the organiza­ tion’s president this year before announcing her resignation. She has since resigned that post. She also recently stepped down from the Kent County Fire Commission. Under state law, the township has 45 days from the effective day of Venema's resignation to find her replacement. Township Supervisor Bryan Harrison said a proposal defining both the process for finding Venema’s successor and roles for the office goin A forward could be presented at the board’s Aug. 21 meeting.

Craig Mulligan, gen­ eral cardiologist, has joined Spectrum Health Pennock Specialty Center. Mulligan was raised in Middleville, the son of John C. and Rita Mulligan. His dad was the only dentist in Middleville for many years. Mulligan is a 1966 gradu­ ate of Thornapple Kellogg High School and went on to Grand Rapids Junior College, Aquinas College and then medical school at Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine in northeast Missouri. He has three daughters and four grand­ children, two of whom attended TK schools. Mulligan has 45 years of experience in the medical Dr. J. Craig Mulligan field, serving in his cardiolo­ gy fellowship at the gy Cleveland Clinic and practicing mostly in Grand Rapids. He also did consultant work at the office of Dr. Hogan in Delton. Mulligan and his wife of 20 years, Deborah, who is an anesthesiologist and now works in addiction medicine, maintained a house in Middleville the whole time. In 2014, they moved to Colorado to try retirement. “We spent most of our time alpine skiing and enjoy­ ing the mountains,” Mulligan said. But in 2018, Michigan called them back, and both missed being involved inthe medical field. They were drawn back into practice and now live in the Gun Lake area.

Mulligan credited his parents for a great upbringing and the community for shaping him. “Everyone in my commu­ nity was so incredibly kind, friendly and encouraging," he said. “With the parents I had and the support from people around me, I had every reason to have a posi­ tive attitude. It was the natu­ ral thing. I never considered doing anything else or going anywhere else than here.” When noting influential people in his life, Mulligan mentioned Bob White, long­ time football coach and math teacher. “I didn't play football, but he was my math teacher and had such a great attitude," Mulligan said. “He taught me the value of hard work and personal achievement. He taught me the self-satis­ faction of keeping at a prob­ lem until a solution is reached.” Mulligan said that ability comes in handy as a health care provider. “The practice of medicine is the ultimate detective game,” he said.

That’s where diagnosis is truly established,” Mulligan said. “I get criticized for spending too much time talking to my patients, but that is how I find the solu­ tion.” Mulligan said he got into cardiology by accident. He wanted to be an obstetrician/ gynecologist, but no residency was open in that specialty after his internship. A friend talked him into staying in Grand Rapids and doing a residency in internal medicine, and he fell in love with it. it. He He did did his his fellowship fellowship inin cardiology, and the rest is history. He now returns to the county of his upbringing and is excited to serve the com­ munity. Mulligan said he was a little concerned about returning to practice medi­ cine after his four-year hiatus. So he did his homework “I needed to be reassured 44 44 that 1 was still competent, since 1 had taken four years off," he said. “I have done lots of reading and took the board of review courses again.” He returned to practice two months ago and is feel­ ing more comfortable now. He said his schedule is filling up, and he's enjoying the work and the people, Mulligan fills a void in the field presently, because many practitioners are specialists nowadays; but his training and experience have allowed him to cut across all special­ ties and see the big picture as a general cardiologist. “He is such an asset to us." Marsha Bassett, manager for Spectrum Health Systems said. “He is a wealth of knowledge, and he loves being here, Mulligan plans to have office hours 10 days a month in the Medical Arts Building at Spectrum Health Pennock and also see patients at Spectrum's Bradford Street location in Grand Rapids. 5* HOMES NEEDED!

Horsecollar tackling also is penalized with a 15-yard personal foul, Also beginning this season, the amount of practice “collision” contact will be defined in minutes instead of allowed days.

Also, when a ball in play strikes the cables or diagonal poles used to retract baskets or similar apparatus to the ceiling, the game official will stop play and determine if the ball was playable - if it is ruled playable before mak­ ing contact with the appara­ tus, there will be a replay; if the ball is deemed to have not been playable, it will be ruled out of bounds. Also in volleyball, a change regarding uniforms will make the libero more recognizable. A libero’s uniform top must clearly contrast with those of the rest of her teammates by usin « another predominant color. The libero’s uniform may be trimmed with the predominant color of her non-libero teammates’ uniforms, and vice versa. Also regarding volleyball uniforms, “00” may no longer be used as a jersey number, only numbers 0-99 to eliminate confusion. In swimming, the defini­ tion of a legal finish has changed to include a competitor touching any part of the finish end of the lane, not just the touch pad. In diving, the degree of difficulty was adjusted for back and reverse somersaults to provide consistency with difficulty of other dives. The game clock will stop in boys soccer beginning this fall when the team leading the game makes a substitu­ tion during the final five minutes of the second period of regulation or second part of overtime. This stoppage aims to prevent the team in the lead from using substitu­ tions as a way to run time off the clock.

The projected no-mill increase would address the needs of the growing school district, school officials said. “Based on all our informa­ tion and our feedback from the community and our enrollment projections, we need, first of all, more class­ room space and the ability to maintain our infrastructure in our facilities,” Superintendent Rob Blitchok said. According to school offi­ cials, the number of students enrolled last year in the dis­ trict was 3,159, but the pro­ jection is 3,170 students. The district could bond for up to $42.8 million with a project­ ed no-mill increase. “Our property levels are at a level where we don’t have to raise our mills and can actually gain some funding D sdT loorfo? rfibnoM 60 noi J j loorioz 2T3JOV noi Him sriT agfioion i o 2b^n Jonteib 32BEJ noil 03 911 j ml loins mooi iiEJncKfn IUO “nnaqi/2 tel loins i nortosj m-on ba MlO“ ' laval a a f I • Lee Elementary (second Five community forums, forums. and third third grades) grades) -- three three conducted by school offi- and classroomsand andaaconference conference cials, cials, GMB GMB architects architects and and classrooms OAK construction managemanage­ room. ment firms, were hosted to • Page Elementary (fourth determine the the needs needs of of the the and and fifth fifth grades) grades) -- three three determine school classrooms and a renovated schooldistrict. district.

That question was discussed during Thornapple Township’s regular meeting on Monday night. Trustee Ross DeMaagd, Supervisor Mike Bremer, and Fire Chief Randy Eaton discussed a change to the township fireworks policy proposed by Eaton. The board eventually decided to hold a public hearing next month to get input from con­ stituents. Eaton said he is looking into whether he could allow the local Lions Club and Thornapple Kellogg High School to set off fireworks during varsity football games. “While researching it, I found out that the state updated its fireworks policy last year,” he said. “The catch is that, if your local ovemment doesn’t adopt it, people can light off fireworks 24/7 all year, and there’s nothing you can do about it.” The state's policy update limited the number of days around certain holidays when fireworks can be used. “It’s so we don’t have to have complaints about peopie shooting off fireworks at 2 a.m. on the 20th of May because it’s their birthday,” Eaton said. He recommended adopt­ ing the state’s fireworks pol­ icy. “I agree with the idea that it’s not nice to be blasting off fireworks at all hours of the night on any day of the year," DeMaagd said. “I also believe that, in a rural com­ munity, you’ll have people sitting in a backyard cooking hot dogs and decide to shoot off a few fireworks. That shouldn’t be illegal. I don't believe it’s right for a rural township to place those kinds of restrictions on their residents.” Fireworks still can be set off at any time during the year, even under the pro­ posed update. The only catch isis that that any any anyone anyone looking looking to to set off fireworks on a non-ap- proved day must first fill out a permit. In the case of the school's football fireworks, they would still be allowed to do so if their permit was approved. “By adopting the act, it allows us to impose a civil fine,” Eaton said.“Obviously, if someone calls us and tells us that they just heard an M-80 go off, we’re not going to go out and look for it.” “If a show is going on and law enforcement gets there before it’s over, there can be a fine.” “I don’t think it’s impos­ ing on people’s rights. They just need to get a permit and it’s no cost to them.” To obtain a fireworks per­ mit, residents have to contact the fire department and then fill out a form detailing when they would be setting off the fireworks. There is no permit fee. “All you have to do is fill out some paperwork," Bremer said. “Then we know it’s going to happen. Then your neighbors hopefully know it’s going to happen, “It’s not banned. You just need to step up and say what DeMaagd said. you’re doing." Trustee Jake Jelsma DeMaagd explained that explained to the board how he isn’t against all restric- the the new new state regulations came in the place. tions.

We’re just saying, if you want to do fireworks on a non-approved day, you have to let us know and I don't see that as a restric­ tion." “It takes away their right be to spontaneous,” DeMaagd pointed out. “What about the rights of your neighbors?" Bremer asked. “But we haven't had any complaints. We're not solving a problem,” DeMaagd said. “It's just one more of our rights being taken away.” The vote to hold the hear­ ing passed 6-1. The lone dis­ senting vote was cast by Jelsma. “Iwant to hear what the public hasto say,”DeMaagd said. (F. ft I ft & ft ft l>! Thornapple Township mulls action on Duncan Drain Luke Froncheck Staff Writer Barry County Drain Commissioner Jim Dull Monday's attended Mondav ’s Thomapple Township Board of Trustees meeting with a resolution for drain improve­ ments on Duncan Lake, Dull told the board that, LABOR DAY i < h sale MEMBERS ONLY SALE Wednesday August 28 • 4-7pm SALES TO GENERAL PUBLIC Thursday August 29 Saturday August 31 er ] after a 500-year rain event in July, two areas on Noffke Drive, just off Duncan Lake, were at least a foot under water. He said that, in some places, the floodwaters were as deep as 3 feet. At least seven properties were hit hard by the high water on the road. “The drains worked to an extent, but we just got too much water,” Dull said. “There was 5 inches of rain in three hours.” Dull asked the township to pass a resolution allowing him to go above the $23,000 maintenance fund for the Duncan Drain. “It would be considered an improvement to the drain and you can’t do an improve­ ment to the drain on mainte­ nance money,” he said. A petition would be need­ ed with at least five signa­ tures from Duncan Lake property owners before any work could begin. Dull’s proposal would allow the lake to take on more water. “We just hope to God we don’t have another 500-year storm,” he said. Township Supervisor Mike Bremer recommended the board take a month to look over the information provided and revisit the issue during the September meet­ ing. The board also voted to renew the Duncan Lake weed control special assess­ ment. The last assessment ended in 2015, Bremer said. But the numbers for that assessment were higher than necessary. So, for the past few years, funds accumulated so the township was able to provide weed control without a new special assessment. “I haven’t received any feedback saying we’re not doing this well,” Bremer said. “I take that as we’re doing this well.” The new assessment is significantly lower than the previous one. “This is really a renewal - just smaller," Bremer said. Properties will now pay $78.82 a year, and 156 prop­ erties will be assessed. Every property will now pay the same amount. The last assessment charged property owners based on their lake frontage. “The cost is significantly lower for some property owners," Buckowing said. The township unanimously approved moving forward with the assessment and the second public hearing will take place during its Sept. 9 meeting. In other business, the township board: • Approved a $1,360 purchase of a new BS&A softsoft­ ware system for the township. An additional $260 yearly service fee also was approved. • Approved the purchase of an updated HIPAA training system for the fire depart- ment. The cost will not exceed $500. • Approved the hiring of up to six new firefighters. Three have been hired: Corey Lipscomb, Paul Bohez and Lloyd Skiba. • Heard a presentation on the current health insurance plan and other potential options. The township tabled the discussion until a later date. • Approved spending $1,097 to fix a broken water pump in the fire department's heating system. Bremer announced that local baseball coach Jared Nickels would be the Andy Saldivar Coach of the Year and would be honored during the Heritage Day parade, “Jared’s been a lifesaver, really,” Bremer said. “He’s always totally involved.” The township board also went into closed session to discuss the potential relocation of the emergency ser­ vices building. 44 fl rWi U Wsjfcf ’ft (ht r i!3 �i k. ft The Sun and News, Saturday, August 17, 2019/ Page 3 v ft, k \ ft Caledonia schools start Tuesday w$ kt*« V %J n 1,. 2'JJhX Greg Chandler 68th St. SE, for first through At Emmons Lake fifth grades.

Kinsey St. The township had presented two options for the village - one to sell its ownership share of the hall to the village for $175,000. the other to buy out the village’s own­ ership share at the same amount. • “The township is looking for a quick cash deal,” Village Manager Jeff Thornton said. “This is something they’re looking for quick action on. They Contributing Writer The Caledonia Village Hall remains on the market, but village and township officials are at odds on what the asking price should be for the village to buy out the township’s 50 percent own­ ership of the building. Monday, the village coun­ cil voted 5-2 to make a coun­ teroffer of $150,000 to buy out the township's share of the hall at 250 S. Maple St., as well as the property the hall sits on and an adjoining want to move on.” Voting in favor of the counteroffer were council members Dan Erskine, Bill Neil, Jennifer Lindsey, Karen Hahn and Jean Soest. Village President Todd Grinage and council member Eric VanGessel voted no. “I’m not going to give them a dime more than $150,000,” Erskine said, Neil was adamant about wanting the village to take full ownership of the hall. “I don't want to see the [township] name on another piece of village property. Let us buy it, and we can worry about what to do later ” he said. VanGesseL who has advocaed selling the village hall to the private sector and getting the property onto the village tax rolls, proposed tabling the issue indefinitely, but his motion failed for lack of a second. “I am not in favor of pay­ ing $175,000 so we can have the township go away,” VanGessel said. “They’re not affecting our world right now. There’s $175,000 that we can pour back into this community, into roads, into other community investments that are infinitely more valuable than getting their name off this building.” Thornton told council members that the village has a lot of options at its disposal with regard to the hall’s future use. “We can sublease it. We can rezone the property. It doesn't have to be just gov­ ernmental [use]. We can rezone it to commercial,” he said. “1 know there are busi­ nesses looking for space.” Thornton added that he also had spoken to a nonprofit organization about potentially locating in the Business, environment benefit from breastfeeding, too Four blood drives ■81 <9- a*" services such as the Barry County Baby Cafe and Women, Infants and Children, which help support mothers in their breastfeeding journey and beyond.

M-43 Highway, Hastings, Ml 49058 New administrators highlight start of new school year in Caledonia Greg Chandler Staff Writer Despite the lack of a new contract for its teachers and uncertainty over funding from the stale, classes are underway in the Caledonia Community Schools for the new school year. Classes began Tuesday with 23 new teachers and professional staff on board, They include a new high school principal, a new spe­ cial education director and new athletic director. Joseph Lienesch takes over as the new principal at Caledonia High School. He was promoted to the position over the summer after serving as an assistant principal at CHS over the past two years. He replaces Brady Lake, who left CHS to become athletic director at Byron Center High School. Danelle Scott moves into Lienesch's former role as assistant principal. She returns to Caledonia after spending the past year as a counselor at Hudsonville High School. Scott was a CHS counselor for 11 years before taking the Hudsonville job last year, Wendy Dubuisson is the district s new special education director. She comes to Caledonia from the Allegan Area Educational Service Agency, a countywide inter­ mediate school district, where she was director of specialized instruction. Fred Townsend takes over as athletic director at Caledonia, replacing Scott Weis, who moves over to become middle school dean of students, a newly created position. Townsend comes to Caledonia from Sanford Meridian Early College High School near Midland, where he taught wood shop and served as a behavior inter­ ventionist. He previously served as athletic director and head football coach at Arthur Hill High School in Saginaw and also coached football at nearby Bridgeport High School. Dr. Superintendent Dedrick Martin said the dis­ trict was able to fill all avail­ able positions, but noted there were fewer applicants for certain subject areas, among them math, science. foreign language and special education. With funding levels from the state yet to be determined, the district adopted a budget in June that projects a $90-per-pupil increase in the state's foundation grant. The $55.7 million budget calls for the district to dip into its reserves by about $800.000, but should still leave the dis­ trict with a fund balance of more than $7.4 million at the end of the 2019-20 fiscal year. “Since we did not have a budget from the state to know what to expect in any additional revenue, we budgeted conservatively with a small increase," Martin said.

Dr. Superintendent Dedrick Martin brought up the realignment possibility at Monday’s board of education meeting, outlining details of a five-year strategic plan that was developed earlier this year with input from more than 200 students, teachers, staff members and parents from throughout the district. proposed Under the realignment, the elementary buildings would be kindergarten through fourth grade. There would be one middle school for fifth and sixth graders and a second for sev­ enth and eighth graders, Martin said. Martin proposed having several teams work on a reorganization plan, including an operations and logistics team that will address many questions regarding building operations, “What are all the opera­ tional needs that must be considered? [We need to make a] determination of which buildings will serve in which capacity,” Martin said. “We’re looking at potential changes to transportation patterns, start and end times, furniture, room arrange­ ments, staffing assignments. Do we need to make any modifications to the build­ ings?” The superintendent also proposed creation of an academic advisory team that would address curriculum issues tied to a reorganiza­ tion.

The vote at Monday’s Caledonia Township plan­ ning commission meeting was unanimous in favor of amending special land-use requirements and site plan for the new course. Pat Howard, Saskatoon facility manager and superin­ tendent, presented plans for the proposed project to the commission and community members. The new course, dubbed the “Silver 9,” will comple­ ment the existing 36 holes (four 9-hole courses), offer­ ing golfers yet another option to test their skills. Saskatoon opened in the summer of 1964, offering a 9-hole course. Two addition­ al courses were added in 1967 and 1972. Owners Bill and Joan Howard opened a fourth course, the Europeanstyle “Gold Course," in 1992, giving the Grand Rapids area its first championship-style 36-hole public golf course. “Our business has grown," » we could fill another nine holes. Outing business has been good. We have a wait­ ing list for leagues. With the closure of other courses in the area, there is an opportu­ nity for us to expand. Paul Albanese, architect for the expansion, is working alongside renowned course designer Jerry Matthews, who has been designing courses for over 40 years, Albanese addressed the com­ mission to detail the proposed design, “This is really going to be a special golf course," Albanese said. “The land suits golf perfectly. It’s gently rolling. It’s got a beautiful sand terrain." The new course is slated to open late summer of 2020. In other business, develop­ er John DenHartigh of Alaska Hause LLC, is proposing to breathe new life into the long-vacant facility at 7449 68th Street, formerly a Sam’s Joint restaurant. Speaking on behalf of Denhartigh, Michelle Beukema and Heather Bradley addressed the commission, describing their proposed plan to open a rant business at the existing site. Details have yet to be finalized. However, they told the commissioners they would like to remodel the outside to resemble the church originally housed in the building in the early 1980s. During the public hearin & portion of the presentation, neighbors from the area surrounding the site commented favorably on the project, cit­ ing the current dilapidated state of the site and need for improvement. The commission voted unanimously for conditional rezoning and site plan approval for the project. A public hearing was held for a 32-unit planned-unit development for consideration at 7881 Snow Ave. Kevin Roosien, addressing the commission on behalf of developer Gene Benting, presented plans for the project. The proposed plans out­ lined a cluster of 32 sin­ gle-family homes, each on lots of less than one acre, with approximately 44 acres of the 79-acre parcel set aside for open space and trails.

Planning commissioners Thursday voted 4-0 to rec­ ommend the village opt out of allowing marijuana facili­ ties. either for medical or recreational purposes, and cannabis-based retail busi­ nesses. The measure now goes to the village council, which could take action on the ban at its next meeting Monday, Sept. 9. The village council had asked the planning commis­ sion earlier this year to look into the issue, after Caledonia voters last November split evenly - 376-376 - on Proposal 1, the ballot propos­ al that legalized the use of marijuana for recreational purposes in Michigan. “We dove deep into the subject, because it is a dicey, sensitive subject," commisJason sion chairman Wangerin said. “The general consensus from the surveys that we got from business and the outreach from the “Even though marijuana is legal in this state, I just don’t think it’s a good idea to bring it to a small town like this.” • • I Cathy Gamaat community is against it." Wangerin and fellow com­ missioners Eric VanGessel and Sylvia Murphy served as a subcommittee that gathered information on the pros and cons of allowing marijua­ na-based facilities. They looked into the potential revenue benefits - the state can collect a 10 percent excise tax from retail sales of man­ juana - as well as the potential pitfalls of allowing such facilities. Only tw'o people spoke during the public hearing that preceded the vote, both in opposition to allowing marijuana facilities in the village. Cathy Gamaat, who owns a four-plex in the village, said Sun allowing such facilities will affect the quality of life in Caledonia. “Even though marijuana is legal in this state, I just don't think it’s a good idea to brin it to a small town like this," Gamaat said after the hear­ ing. The recommendation from the planning commission also allows Caledonia to opt out of allowing marijuana testing facilities, processors ’ growers and secure trans­ porters. Wangerin said even if the council goes along with the planning commission’s rec­ ommendation to opt out, the village can go back and take a second look at a later time. “If this turns out to be a positive thing, we can revisit that, we can come back to it at that time and make chang­ es and adjustments," he said. “But at this time, the general consensus is that we opt out." VanGessel and fellow Luitjen commissioners Kiewiet and Bill Robertson were absent from the meet­ ing. News Published by... J-Ad Graphics, Inc. 1351 N.

Bailard also voiced con­ cern about development's impact on the water table as well as the effect the extra traffic would have on Snow Avenue, a gravel road that is already in poor condition, During discussion, commissioners questioned rea­ soning behind the clustering of smaller lots versus zoning by right, which would pro­ vide 29 two-acre lots, consis­ tent with existing zoning in the neighboring area. faxorable since there is egreat­ er retention of open land, less impact on wildlife, and it makes for a tighter-knit com­ munity.

He told Rossien that, while he appreciated the argument for clustering and under­ stands the appeal, two-acre zoning by right does a better job of providing contour and more closely matches the vision of what kind of community would be a good fit.

The village council Monday approved spending up to $500 to allow its engineer, Jon Moxey of the firm Fleis & VandenBrink, to develop a concept for the project that could then be sent to the planning commis­ sion for further review. Village President Todd Grinage last month proposed I * the idea of allowing small boats to access Emmons Lake off Church Street where it turns east onto Oak Street. He submitted a drawing that would include a pathway, about 6-8 feet wide, down the steep slope leading to the lake, and keeping some of the broken concrete that has accumulated near the water to protect protect against against erosion. erosion. to Grinage proposed allow allow-­ ing boats up to 14 feet long, with a maximum size motor of 6-1/2 horsepower. The collection of concrete that has washed down the hill from the end of Church Street has been one of the challenges hindering public access to the lake, Village Manager Jeff Thomton said. “It was a runoff [of conCrete] from the top. The constant runoff followed a groove and eroded the groove down, and the concrete filled the groove,” Thomton said, Add to that is the village’s general lack of maintenance of the area over the years, Grinage estimated the village’s total investment in maintenance of the road end over the past 25 years at about $3,600. Several years ago, state foresters came in and cleared out the area between the end of the street and Emmons Lake, but the area had since been overrun by weeds. Department of public works director Roger Loring recently had a crew mow a swath several feet wide, from the end of the street down to the lake. “The weeds were taller than I was,” Thomton said. The idea of re-establishing & access to the lake has drawn mixed response from council members. “I didn't know it used to be an access point for boats property after the project is completed. If we want to do this, I suggest we do it right, so it lasts longer than 10 years,” Thomton said. Moxey said he does not expect to have much of an issue putting together a concept for the village to consider. We can start with a basic survey and use aerial photography to come up with a rough concept,” he said. Moxey said he would have a conceptual plan to present to the village council next month. and for people to enjoy the lake/’ council member Eric VanGessel said. “I think it’s a great idea to explore.” However, fellow council member Jennifer Lindsey isn’t so sure. 5‘As it is right now, it's very dangerous. No one should be going through there,” she said. Thomton said a project to provide access to small boat­ ers on the lake could get funding assistance from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, but it would then be incumbent on the village to maintain the 41 Ci •S YQ •] $ ' r k * * MinI » / - FIRST BAPTIST *• baptist (church alaska Mik 7240 68"’ Street SE Caledonia, Ml 49316 616-698-8104 ’’WiColtw 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 fem Middleville Our mission is to worship God and equip UAL, * Dr. Brian F.

M I * .1 * A * % 1 I Greg Chandler Staff Writer Nick Turnes had never competed before at the Middleville Heritage Days pizza-eating contest. Meanwhile, Christopher Streb had won the event three of the last four years. But at last Saturday’s fes­ tival, the two matched each other, slice for slice, eating through two full boxes of Three Brothers pizza and part of a third. They ate the same number of slices in the third box. So organizers gave the two contestants a choice call it a tie and split the $200 prize money, or do a weighoff of the last partially-eaten slice. They agreed to a weigh-off. “I looked at his slice and I saw mine, and I thought, ‘He’s the three-time champi­ on, I just need to know (if I won),’” Turnes said. After organizers weighed the partially-eaten slices, Turnes was declared the win- ner and pocketed the $200 in cash. It wasn’t the first time Streb had come up short on a weigh-off. The other time I lost (in the last four years) was on a weigh-off. I lost by about the same amount,” he said. Turnes had earlier this summer competed in the hotdog eating contest that took place on July 4 in downtown Middleville, and and when Heritage Days rolled around, decided to give the pizza-eat­ ing contest a try. “I had seen it done before, and I had always thought about doing it, but I could never make my schedule work,” he said, Ironically, Turnes and Streb once worked together shortly after graduating from high school at the BP station in Caledonia. The pizza-eating contest was one of the highlights of Heritage Days. Event chairwoman Susan Foster says, despite a few minor issues, the festival was successful. On Friday night, 41 a light rain didn’t deter the music provided by The What-Abouts, a 50s-60s girl group tribute band, at the Thomapple Township parking lot. It rained for about 10-15 minutes, people just got their umbrellas, came back and sat down,” Foster said. About 80 people turned out that night to watch the movie “The Jungle Book” for Pajamas in the Park, a family-friendly movie event. On Saturday afternoon, hundreds lined Main Street for the annual Heritage Days parade, highlighted by music from the Thomapple Kellogg High School marching band as well as several floats, Saturday’s activities also included old-fashioned games and demonstrations of skills ranging from quilting to stained glass, while Sunday featured an old-fashioned church service and family picnic. Next year's festival will likely have some changes €4 l Christopher Streb, on left, and Nick Turnes, who was competing in his first Heritage Days pizza-eating contest, await the result of the weigh-off. with regard to its organiza­ tion. Downtown Development Authority Director Nichole Lyke has recommended that the DDA coordinate the fes­ tival for at least one year. “This is so we can train a committee chair and co-chair on how to administer the event,” Lyke wrote in a Middleville breaks ground on new amphitheater Greg Chandler Staff Writer Construction is underway on an amphitheater on the banks of the Thornapple downtown in River Middleville. Community leaders gath­ ered Monday to officially break ground on the new $238,000 venue, just north of the village pavilion. Construction should be com­ pleted by mid-October, My Downtown Middleville Development Authority Director Nichole Lyke said. “We’ve been working on plans to utilize and enhance this space,” Lyke said. “We’re excited to be able to add this. It goes with the vil­ lage’s parks master plan, so we’re really glad to be able to help enhance this area.” The DDA is paying for the amphitheater through its tax-increment financing pro­ gram, where tax dollars paid by downtown businesses are captured and used to finance improvements and projects to enhance the downtown. They include facade improvements, streetscape projects and new signage, Lyke said. urTn -- ..in —----u it as The village wanted part of their master plan.

Main Street Middleville, Ml 49333-0069 Caledonia Township maintains asking price for village hall Greg Chandler Staff Writer The ball is back in the court of the Caledonia Village Council on the issue of buying out Caledonia Township's share of the vil­ lage hall. The township board Wednesday voted 5-0 to stick with its asking price of $175,000 for the village to buy out the township’s 50 percent ownership stake in the hall at 250 S. Maple St. The board also gave the vil­ lage two weeks to respond to its action, even though the village council is not sched­ uled to meet again until Monday, Sept. 9. “Our counter [offer] is $175,000 - take it or leave it,” Township Trustee Greg Zoller said. The board July 17 made a two-part offer to the village - either have the village buy out the township’s ownership stake for $ 175,000, or sell its ownership share to the town­ ship for a like amount. The village council voted 5-2 Aug. 12 to make a counteroffer, offering $150,000 to buy out the township. The proposed buyout would not only involve the village hall, but also the property on which it sits, as well as an adjoining parcel also owned by the two govemmental units at 210 S. Kinsey St. Prior to his motion, Zoller brought up two deeds related to the historic ownership of the property. The first, dated March 25, 1991, indicated the township bought the property at a cost of $60,000. The second, dated March 11, 1992, showed the township selling a half-interest in the property to the village for less than $100. “We, as a this property and built a building, ouuaing, and ana then men gave gave aa ‘half-interest [to the village],” ■fl/ AMfl 1-v i 1 i 1 1 r» Zoller said. The township used the village hall as its offices and shared the council chambers with the village until it relo­ cated to its present office at 8196 Broadmoor Ave. SE in August 2010, Clerk Jennifer Venema said. The village has a standing offer from John Meyering to purchase the village hall for $350,000, an offer that was made back in May. Supervisor Township Bryan Harrison and Trustee Dale Hermenet were absent from Wednesday’s vote. Village Manager Jeff Thomton, who was in attendance at the township meet­ ing, declined to comment on the board’s action.

The event is broke up into a junior/senior race and a freshman/sophomore race. TK head coach Josh Reynolds was looking forward to see­ ing how things shake out in the race for the top spots on his team. “This will be a much stronger group than we have had the last couple years,” Reynolds said. “There is definitely a solid seven. Hopefully this weekend we will sort out a solid eight or nine, and see if someone is brave enough to make it a solid ten. Then the infighting Ml 4 V 1 ly J I * begins in terms of fighting for positions, which is exciting.” Setting the pace at the front of the pack is senior Nick Bushman, who joined the cross country program at the start of his junior year and nearly qualified for the state finals. “He finished really strong at last year’s regional at Portage,” Reynolds said. “He was in the hunt the early part of the race to get into the state meet, but just the expe­ rienced kids finished stron­ ger. We’ve already talked about how to run that region­ al race.” That is a ways off yet though. The Trojans will head to Caledonia for a dual with the Fighting Scots Friday, Aug. 30, and then host their annual Coach B Invitational at Gun Lake Sept. 9. The OK Gold conference Conference season starts Sept. 18 when South Christian plays host to the first league jamboree, The Sailors should be solid again, but part of the pack chasing after Grand Rapids Christian, East Grand Rapids and Forest Hills Eastern along with the Trojans. East Grand Rapids’ Evan Bishop is one of the top runners in the state, and really the nation, ready to pace the OK Gold Conference as a whole, Bushman isn’t the only experienced runner back for TK this fall. He is joined by juniors Levi VanderHeide, Brennan Lutz and Cameron Gavette. Those guys will be working for those scoring spots in the Trojan line-up with returning sophomores Camden Reynolds and Corbin Fleischmann. The Trojan team spent the week before school at Pentwater for its team camp. “We only had a couple kids that didn’t make it up there,” coach Reynolds said. “It was a good solid week. It was nice to have some cooler temperatures.” As a whole, he'd still like to see his guys get some more miles in during the summer. There were a hand­ ful of guys getting in around 300 miles over the course of the summer, which he said will have them ready to race right away this fall, '• * •lT Nick Bushman Senior captains, junior middles look to lead TK volleyball Brett Bremer Sports Editor The Thornapple Kellogg J f WC »» rt2 • • 1 l ■ x:ra I JE :; R 8 i ■! in: MEEsiK < • •s > I 4 varsity volleyball team was tional in tional in Grand Grand Rapids.Rapids. set to start its season yesterIts Itsthe thefirst firstcompetition competitionfor for day at the WMVOA invita- new new varsity varsity head head coach coach Tia Tia Cross. “This tournament is going to give us the opportunity to face many opponents, get the rust off, and work out any kinks.

The Trojans play in a few tournaments before opening the OK Gold Conference season at home against East Grand Rapids Sept. 17. TK heads to Grand Rapids Christian Sept. 19. Those additions include juniors Tyah Jefferson and Paige Zellmer who coach Cross says are very strong versatile players that will be looking to make an impact in several areas on the court.

The Trojans were slated to host their own TK Invitational at Yankee Springs Yesterday and will head to Centennial Acres to face Lakewood in a ‘ , dual Tuesday afternoon. The OK Gold Conference season begins when East Grand Rapids plays host at Kent Country Club Aug. 28. Brett Bremer Sports Editor The Trojans have talented returnees at every level of the field heading into the 2019 varsity boys' soccer season. Caden Goudzwaard can put the ball in the net up front, Aiden Hannapel is capable of controlling a mid­ field, and guarding the net is Auston Ruth. That trio of seniors is set to lead the Thornapple Kellogg team as it tries to improve on its 6-7-2 overall record from a year ago.

Wood said he hopes this team is able “to build upon the previous two years per­ formances and to push our way up the OK Gold Conference. For districts we hope to be peaking at the right time and hope for a good run in post season." The challengers at the top of the OK Gold Conference remain the same this fall, Grand Rapids Christian, East Grand Rapids and South Christian. Wyoming and Wayland prove capable of making ballgames interesting as well. The Trojans are 2-1 so far on the season. They scored a 4-0 win over West Michigan Aviation to open the year Aug. 17 and bested Hastings 5-0 Thursday evening. Byron Center handed TK is lone loss of the season so . . far, 3-1 Monday evening in Byron Center.

Senior Gabe Nelson will be back at quarterback, with a few of his top weapons from last year around him. But make no mistake, it is a whole new season of Thomapple Kellogg varsity football this fall. “There is the constant con­ versation about how you had so much success last year. We’re trying to find ways to handle that success and understand that last year was last year. Yes, it was great, but that is not going to help us win football games this year,” TK head coach Jeff Dock said. “We have a new group of guys, new chemis­ try, new guys in different positions. The idea is, what is the 2019 team going to be about? And trying to push that on the guys and have them own this year. “We can't have guys liv­ ing in the past. We have to have guys getting better each and every day.” Dock said that while the coaching staff has been working to get that message across, the senior and juniors who are back are holding each other accountable to put the past behind themselves Gabe Nelson 2011. Working to make those things again, again, _ happen __ _ _ • will be senior safety/running back Colson Brummel, senior linebacker/running back Adam Bush, senior defensive back Colton Ward and the big junior group that was a part of the varsity during its sophomore campaign that includes Kriekaard, West, Shoobridge back at wide receiver, Jake DeJong, Alex Bonnema and more. “They're a special group,” Dock said of the group of more than a dozen juniors who were up on the varsity as sophomores a season ago. “You don't see that group missing team events, missing practice, no matter what sport they play. This is a good group of three-sport athletes, two-sport athletes. They seem to be pretty close to each other and they love to work and they're competitors.” The team has added a cou­ ple seniors as well this fall, Chad Meyering and Draven Hall, on the lines. Dock was pleased to report that there are 20 student-athletes out for fresh- as well. No where will the passage of time be more visible than in the trenches for the Trojans. TK has just one starter back on the offensive line, junior Noah Kriekaard. There isn't a returning starter on the defensive front. TK does bring back junior Cater West, a tight end a year ago who is moving to center on the offensive side of the ball. “They impact the game more than anything. Having new faces and new guys in there to own the offensive and defensive line is a huge thing,” Dock said. “We're anxious to see what that looks like. They have contin­ uously gotten better from our inter-squad scrimmage to the scrimmage on Wednesday, That is what we look forward to, just the constant improve­ ment, not only in technique but in intensity and physical­ ity and all that.” Nelson missed much of the 2018 season with an inju­ ry, with Cole Shoobridge stepping in at quarterback. TK finished the season 7-3, qualifying for the state play­ offs for the first time since 2010 and earning the team's first winning season since men football and nearly 30 sophomores for the JV squad. getting the program back up to three levels for the first time in a handful of years. “It’s good to have a bunch of TK students playing foot­ ball again. We have to find a way to maintain those num­ bers in an era across the area, across the state, across the country numbers are down. We have to find a way to continue to make the game safer and keep playing the game," he said. The Trojans open the season at Hastings Thursday, Aug. 29, and then will be at home against Byron Center Sept. 6. The OK Gold Conference season opens with a ball­ game against Forest Hills Eastern Sept. 13, a team with a new coaching staff. East Grand Rapids and Grand Rapids Christian were both 5-1 in the OK Gold a year ago, and have some very talented returnees. The Trojans were right behind those two teams at 4-2 in the conference, and they will look to fend off South Christian and compete with those top couple teams again this season. / ?! $ a id ^1 a ' ■ $ ■!'z •y ■ if •j®1 IL ’ Trojan tennis team reconstructing its line-up Brett Bremer Sports Editor Improvements are coming fast and furious for the Thomapple Kellogg varsity boys’ tennis team this fall. They'll need to keep com­ ing. The Trojan team lost 16 seniors a year ago. There is one senior in the program at the moment, and only a handful of juniors. Only a couple of guys have any var­ sity match experience at all. “They are young. They are definitely coachable,” TK head coach Philippe Sylvestre. “I have to reestab­ lish the culture we’re work­ ing on, because they are not very aware of that culture, which is fine. It is totally fine. It is going very well. They are doing a great job at it.” While there isn’t experi­ ence, there are tennis play­ ers. There are 26 guys in the program. “I was hoping for 30, but at the same time, I was expecting 15, and then 26 show up,” Sylvestre said. “That’s pretty sweet.” The Trojans got a good improvement at the Hamilton Quad Monday, facing Hamilton, Mona Shores and West Catholic. The TIC duo of Sam Mortan and Josh Wedyke had the lone win of the day for their team, at sec­ ond doubles against Hamilton pulling out a 4-6, 6-3, (11-9) win in a super tiebreaker. Nearly all of the spots in the line-up are still up for grabs. Daniel Middleton has filled the first singles spot so far this season, still battling with Nick Vreeland, Bennett Halle and Jack Geukes for that top spot. Sylvestre said he expects challenge matches to contin­ ue for another week. The Trojans return to action at the Zeeland East Quad Tuesday and then open the OK Gold Conference season at East Grand Rapids Sept. 4. East Grand Rapids should be a state powerhouse once again, along with Grand Rapids Christian and Forest Hills Eastern. Those three teams finished third, fourth and fifth respectively at the Division 3 State Finals a year ago. Robbie Holler test early, taking on a tough Byron Center team, “We got handled, which is great. That was a good way to show them what is out there, and give them the option to decide how well do I want to play this game. They have that choice,” Sylvestre said. “I think a lot of them are starting to scratch their head and go, I kind of like this game.” While there isn’t a lot of experience, he is happy with the competitiveness from his guys. The Trojans showed The TK team got its first win of the season Thursday, knocking visiting off Lakewood 7-1. Vreeland and Geukes won in straight sets at second and third singles for the Trojans. Robert Holler was a late call­ up to the varsity line-up and pulled out a 6-3, 4-6, 7-6(3) victory over Lakewood's Asher Teigler. Lakewood forfeited the fourth doubles spot, and TK had the team of James Thorne and Payton Wilkinson win at number one, Morton and Wedyke win at number two and Gavin Denman and Ethan Oly score a victory at third doubles. Coach Sylvestre said he has been pleased with the improve­ ments already from Thorne and Wilkinson, and really likes how Morton and Wedyke have begun to gel as a unit. Oly was at fourth doubles a year ago, and is the only returning player who was a part of the Trojans’ regional line-up a year ago. d I’lhE sa ■•X I in •< * tx I "k •S GET ALL THE NEWS OF BARRY COUNTY! if Subscribe to the Hastings Banner.

The Trojans fired off 28 shots, put 18 on target, but it took a little bit of time for one of those on target strikes to find its mark. Once one did, the Trojans scored at a steady clip as well. The TK boys improved to 2-1 on the season with a 5-0 victory.over the host Saxons inside Baum Stadium at Johnson Field. Caden Goudzwaard scored four times and assisted on the Trojans’ first goal of the ball­ game. Goudzwaard ripped a shot just over the Saxon net, and that was soon followed by point-blank attempt from Aiden Hannapel that bound­ ed just wide of the Hastings goal. Finally, with 17:27 to go in the first half Goudzwaard played a ball through the Hastings defense that teammate Tyler Gehres ran onto. Gehres dodged one defender at the top of the Saxon box and then put a shot past Hastings senior keeper Dane I Mitchell Corner maneuvers through the midfield with the ball for the Trojans during their victory in Hastings Thursday evening. (Photo by Brett Bremer) Bames. There was good timing on the play. The Trojans had moments of great timing offensively, and a few others where things were just just off that took away even more scoring chances. A couple offside penalties prevented a few more charges in on goal by Goudzwaard. TK head coach David Wood said that is a combina­ tion of the attacker at the backline of the defense, but responsibility goes to the player possessing the ball in the midfield as well. “A lot of the times the movement is on point. We just have to be able to make sure that the ball comes off the foot of the attacker a little bit quicker,” Wood said. “A lot of times we have to start connecting a bit faster through the midfield third.” Hannapel timed another ball through perfectly, with Goudzwaard attacking the Saxons’ backline with five minutes to go in the first half. Hannapel rolled a pass through and Goudzwaard ran onto it and ripped a shot through Bames’ fingers. Goudzwaard just beat Saxon defenders around the box to find room to score his three second-half goals. “(Hannapel, Goudzwaard and Hunter DeHaan) are connecting real well. The back line is working real well. We haven’t really been tested too much on goal tonight." Auston Ruth earned the shut out in goal for TK, mak­ ing four saves. “We are trying to play a bit A < H 1 ♦» u Thomapple Kellogg midfielder Hunter DeHaan works to settle the ball in the middle of the Saxon defense during the Trojans’ non-conference win over the Saxons inside Baum Stadium in Hastings Thursday.

Information Act requests. ORTHOPEDICS r— - Village Manager Duane Weeks said. The council awarded the contract to Insituform Technologies USA, a compa­ ny based in Missouri with a Michigan office in Howell. Insituform submitted the low bid among five contractors that submitted bids. Funding for the project will come from the village’s sewer fund, Belson said. The pipes will be repaired through a process known as cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining, where a cast-like sock material is injected into the pipe after the sewer main is clean, and then the material is inflated with hot air and water until it cures on the inside. “It gives the whole interior pipe a brand new lining,” Belson said. The CIPP project will be the first sewer improvements undertaken in Middleville since the village received a $285,000 grant in 2014 from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality that was used to obtain video footage of large portions of the village’s sewer system. The information gained from that study was used by Williams and Works, the vil- lage’s engineering consultant, to put together an asset management plan that priori­ tizes which sewer lines should be repaired first. The project should not be as disruptive to local resi­ dents as other options, such as tearing up a street and installing new storm and sanitary sewer lines. Any disruption resulting from this proj­ ect is likely to last for hours rather than days, Belson said, “You have to let the pipe cure. They’ll run a robot down the pipe. They know exactly where the laterals are. They’ll cut the holes back open for the individual later­ als that are coming from the homes,” Belson said. “There will be set times where home­ owners will not be able to flush or use any water. “It could be one home, it could be six homes, it could be 10 homes, depending on the section of pipe that we’re doing at that time.” The CIPP process is expected to extend the life of the pipes by at least 50 years, While CIPP has been used all over the country for sewer repair projects, it’s the first time it’s been tried in Middleville, Belson said. t • 1 4 < • < > 4 i * 4 f 4 < r i' < !■» < 1 I / t j * �5 AJ � https://barrycountyhistoryportal.org/files/original/25/729/SunandNews_2019-08-31.pdf f7815675ecfa3ab360df19a6ef2ce73b PDF Text Text t 1 4 I 4 5 4 \ I I I 5 I I - i • I Hastings Public Library 227 E State Street 58 The Sun and Ne L i ▼ Your Hometown Newspaper Serving Middleville and Caledonia Areas 143rd year Published by J-Ad Graphics, Inc. • 1351 N.

Village Clerk Elaine Denton told the council that an improved audio system would allow for meetings and public hearings to be recorded, and would help in providing accurate meeting minutes. Currently, Denton and her deputy, Glorimar Ayala, use their cellphones to record meetings, especially when public hearings occur. “It doesn't capture everything, [such as] if we have a resident at the microphone, and we’re not catching the name,” Denton said. “This will give us a little backup, a verification Tuesday heard an update from Village Manager Duane Weeks on a proposal that would replace the current system in the council 1 r i r f & W1 L i 55 6b 30018 bnuoie enoiteH seDnsV Is3 lov serve their community as part of organizations to which they belong.

Under Michigan law, the term sexual delinquent describes someone whose sexual behavior is character­ ized by compulsive or repet itivc acts indicating a disre­ gard of consequences or the recognized rights of other people. This 1952 criminal statute carries an unusual indeterminate sentence of “one day to life ” which is the alternate prison sentence that may be imposed. Monday. Trooper Blaine Bachman from the Wayland post of the Michigan State Police described Slovinski*s criminal history, history. which began in I9K6 with the “I m just trying to get to the point that this has got to have the highest level of concern in any case that ever comes to you unless we let a convicted killer out.

Schippcr made the finding that Slovinski. 56, of Kentwood, meets the legal definition of a sexual delin­ quent. This finding lays the groundwork for the sentence Nov. 7. Slovinski has been classi­ fied as a sexual delinquent twice in the past, in 2013 and in 2015, and. each time, he went to prison and was later paroled. And each time, when he returned to the area, ne committed more sex he offense crimes, victimizing women. abduction and rape of a 19-year-old woman. Slovinski sexually assault­ ed his victim on a mattress in the back of a vehicle until she passed out. the officer testified. After several indecent exposure and window peeper complaints in the region last year. Bachman noted similar characteristics, the vehicle descnption. a stolen license plate, and the behavior of the assailant. A review of the sex offender registry nar rowed possible suspects down to Slovinski, so he sought out Slovinski's parole officer. Matthew Alles. Alles' access to Slovinski *s electronic tether provided corroboration. When one of the victims called 911, “as it’s occurring, minute by minute, I could actually watch on his tether as he accelerates and leaves the scene,” the trooper told Judge Schipper Bachman said every com­ plaint in the case against Slovinski was substantiated by the GPS, which placed him al the scene of each crime at the exact dales and times alleged by the victims.

During Monday's hearing. Schipper deplored the way the case was handled by the state Department of Corrections. “Absolutely this was a failure,' the judge told Alles, Slovinski s parole officer. “A horrible failure.” Alles, who has worked for the corrections department since December 2002, trans­ ferred to the parole depart­ ment in August 2007. He had been supervising Slovinski for about three months, he said, when police alerted him to their suspicions about Slovinski's activities. Prior to the case being transferred to him, Slovinski had completed six months of GPS monitoring. Alles said. Then he was switched to cur few monitoring, which meant that Alics was not actively monitoring Slovinski on GPS. S4 * Alles’ hands were shaking as he testified. “He had no parole viola­ tions up until I was notified of the situation in January 2019.” Alles told the judge. 1 was able to get him appre­ hended a short time later. After that time, there were additional parole violations that gradually came up ” “Trooper Bachman indi­ cated that they were looking at a senes of these cases.” he added. “We went over GPS |from the electronic tether] and ended up verifying every single one that had come Initially, they substantiat­ ed 12 violations and ended up adding eight more charges, he said. In response to questioning on the stand. Alles said, as far as the Department of Corrections knew, Slovinski was complying with the terms of his parole. He was involved with treatment and had made some progress with his therapist. He spoke of starting a relationship with a female and meeting her family, “He had become a little more open, but, I mean, progress obviously was negated soon after,” the parole officer said. “He did make progress in a lot of areas, and I find that some­ times to be the most concern­ ing thing about Mr. Slovinski from a supersision perspec­ tive.” At that point, the judge began to ask Alles short. pointed questions, Judge: “Was he required to have a job?” Alles: “He was.” Judge: “Did he have a jab?" Alles: “He did." Judge: “Was he working that job in the fall of 2018?” Alles: “He was and that was verified. I talked to his boss. His boss was happs w ith him ." Judge: "So how does that jibe w ith the trooper's check of the GPS. which showed him all over the place?" Alles: "That's the thing. I asked his boss and. apparently. he was working some of the time Judge: '‘What was his job?” Alles: “I believe he drove a truck. His job required him to move about at times.” Judge: “So maybe not the best job for him - if you're try ing to track somebody.” Alles: “Absolutely.” Judge: “How could this have been done better?” Alles said he couldn't speak for how the depart­ ment of corrections handled the case prior to it being transferred to him, but MDOC policies have since been changed and sex offend­ er cases are being handled differently. “This is definitely a difficult case,” he remarked “I only had it for a little while, h’s difficult because he did well.” “He did well in the eyes of who?” Schipper challenged Alles, telling him that “you have people who can say what you want to hear. Alles replied that the ther apists typically sec through these falseh(K>ds and. when warranted, polygraph tests can be used. The judge said a sex Slovinski offender like should be the highest priority for the corrections depart ment. 4 I M 1. d ■ • *4 ? a J Xi K' A’ .■ J 1 M t jitjOT »l it® w * Continued next page FARMGIRL FLEA It’s Produce Season at the Middleville Farmers PICKERS & MAKERS & Crafters Market!

Before concluding the hearing, the judge made a point to speak directly to the victims, some of whom chose to stay in the audience so they could hear the proceed­ ings after they testified. “I want to thank all of the victims for coming in and testifying today,” Schipper told them. “I know that it's a very difficult thing. But it's necessary for our system and, hopefully, it's cathartic and empowering.” The first victim who testi­ fied Monday was assaulted by Slovinski in 1998. She was 13 at the time and still harbors fears caused by the memory of that assault. During her testimony, she was asked to identify her attacker in court and she pointed to Slovinski. Prosecutor Assistant Jessica Payne asked her why she had agreed to testify at Monday’s hearing, 20 years later. Slovinski was sentenced to seven years in prison, she said. “I don’t think justice was served. “It doesn’t seem like it was long enough," she added, “because I'm still sitting here.” Pated in engineering sessions, group projects and special topic presentations designing a building strong enough to withstand an earth­ quake, creating an artificial intelligence army and more.

It appears it was just another effort of the ‘Gotcha Club’ - Lippert, Knowles and Jansma - to gel Englerth off the board. In June, the township meeting came to a screechin halt after a heated exchange over a dispute to allow for­ mertownshiptrustee Michael Boysen - who was defeated by Knowles, 493-405, in the August 2018 primary - to serve on the planning com­ mission. After 2-2 stalemate vote was taken, with Lippert absent from the meeting, Jansma and Knowles were pressured to explain their no votes to approving Boysen for the planning commission, Planning commission chairwoman Cathy Strickland also demanded an explanation, saying Boysen was “very qualified” and is “the only candidate we have” for ’ opening. ............................ the Knowles later said he wasn’t happy with the • planning • commakeup of- the mission. “Only two of the six current planning commission members are lake owners while the rest are not, Knowles said. So, appointing Boysen wouldn’t fix the __ ____ o problem. Unbelievably, there s still more to this twisted Yankee Springs saga - such as the veterans’ memorial.

The Thomapple Kellogg varsity football team fought off the host Saxons to score a 41-34 victory in the neigh­ borhood rivalry game. It was a little after 9 p.m. when lightning brought about a delay with 7:25 to go in the fourth quarter and the Trojans lead 34-28. “It was pretty hard sitting in there. You’re cramping up, getting sore. We didn't really expect to actually play this,” TK senior quarterback Gabe Nelson said. “They teased us and warmed us up and then sent us back in. That was really rough, but we found a way to stay fired up and that is what we were looking for.” The scoreboard had been lighting up throughout the first half, with TK leading by as many as 19 points and holding a 34-22 advantage at ’ *half. the The scoring slowed in the second half, until the teams returned from the break at nearly 11:30 p.m. Nelson scored on a nineyard run and Mitchell Middleton kicked an extra in* 4 $ $ 4 1* 4 I 1 I* V A — I* L■ 1 I?-' — Thornapple Kellogg senior quarterback Gabe Nelson sprints through a hole in the Hastings defense during the first half of the Trojans win over the host Saxons Thursday.

We only have 30 guys. We have to get some better conditioning so we can stay strong that third and fourth quarter.” Colton Vanloozenoord scored the opening point for the season for TK on a nineyard touchdown run three and a half minutes into the game. Nelson hit Shoobridge on a big pass up the right side on that opening TK drive as well. The Saxon onsors defensive backs didn’t have answer for Shoobridge’s size on the outside. It was a couple big TD runs from Keegan Olson that got Hastings back in the game. He scored on a 44-yard and a 49-yard run in the sec­ ond quarter to get his team back within 27-14.

Nelson got those points back for TK with a two-yard touchdown run before the half. Nelson finished the ball- game with 17 rushes for 112 yards and the two TD’s. Vanloozenoord had 12 rush­ es for 76 yards and Middleton carried six times for 54 yards, Shoobridge finished the ballgame with five catches for 96 yards.

If they can do this and do it well, I think we could have a great season. Getting over 40 student-athletes pulling in the same direction would be great.” Among that group of more than 40 girls is a crew of sophomores who coach Howell said has put in great training over the summer which should add to the Josh Oom varsity line-up this fall. The Scots were fourth in the OK Red Conference last season and are hoping to push into the top three in the conference this time around.

A group of seven girls, led by junior setter Lydia Harper, senior middle hitter Madison Morris, senior libero Amber Jakiel and junior outside hit­ ter Audrey Torres, return to the Caledonia varsity this fall. “With some experience returning and the addition of freshman ready to learn we look forward to a good year," Caledonia head coach Missy Ritz-Johnson said. Harper is a three-year var­ sity player, who is committed to Miami University, where she’ll have the chance to join her big sister Gaby on the court in a couple years. “She has played a very high level club season and she will be expected to lead our team both on and off the court," coach Ritz-Johnson said of Harper. “She will need to lead/teach. She has great chemistry with her teammates and we expect her to do great things.” Coach Ritz-Johnson said she and her coaching staff will work hard to put her young players on a fast track of learning. Some inexperi­ ence at the varsity level of volleyball will be one of the things the Scots have to overcome. “We will step on the court each day and compete to the best of our ability,” RitzJohnson said. “We will work hard on our team chemistry to make sure we are getting the most out of every player in practice and in competi­ tion.” The Fighting Scots opened their season at the Grand Haven Lakeshore Classic last Saturday, scoring a three-set win over Fruitport in pool play and falling to Ann Arbor Skyline and West Ottawa. The contest with their OK Red Conference foes from Lexi Wilcox Brett Bremer Sports Editor The Caledonia/Lowell/ South Christian varsity girls' swimming and diving team opened its season Tuesday at Grand Rapids Christian's Sprint Tri at Calvin College, taking on the Eagles and the Grandville Bulldogs. Lexi Wilcox had the top finish in the pool for the CLS Vikings, placing second in the 50-yard butterfly with a time of 28.82 seconds. Alex Salinas added a runner-up score of 188.80 points in the diving competition for CLS. Wilcox, Maggie Sova, Kaitlyn Vincent and Kayla Huyser teamed up to place third in the 200-yard medley relay with a time of 2:02.79 for the Vikings. Individually, Wilcox was third in the 100yard freestyle with a time of 1:00.5 and Sova third in the 50-yard freestyle in 26.87 seconds.

Won as much with arms and hands as it did with its fee at Scotland Yard Wednesday. West Ottawa ’s Blake Ottawa's Pedersen skipped a throw in from the right side across the Caledonia goal mouth with Caledonia goalkeeper Arie Jackman and a defender occupied by an attacker at the near post. The ball found its way through the box to the backside where Jose Pedraza was waiting to put a head on it and direct it into the open net. The Caledonia varsity boys’ soccer team suffered its first defeat of the young season, 1-0 to the visiting Red Panthers in OK Conference action. The goal came with 26 minutes and 10 seconds to play in the second half. It was just a few minutes after another long throw in from Pedersen found teammate Raymond Mackey who slammed a shot off the bot­ tom side of the crossbar. Pedersen’s long throws created the best chances of the evening for the Panthers. The loss drops the Scots to 0-1-1 in the conference this season and 0-1-3 overall so far.

Avery was unavail­ able to the Scots Wednesday after receiving a red card in Caledonia’s previous con­ test. There is some experience top be gained on the defen­ sive end for Caledonia this fall. The OK Red Conference is tough from top to bottom once again this season. The Scots return to league play Sept. 3 at Grand Haven and then will visit Grandville Sept. 5. The Scots' next home contest is at home against Forest Hills Central Sept. 7. Scots expect size and strength to match up better in Red Brett Bremer Sports Editor Caledonia varsity football coach Tom Burrill expects his team to look more com­ petitive and be more compet­ itive in the OK Red Conference this season. A couple additions to the coaching staff including new defensive line coach Nate Pranger have helped spur the weight lifting program in the offseason. “Some young energetic kids that love to work out and challenge our kids have been a great motivation for our young kids. They helped us in January and kind of all the way til now,” Burrill said. Pranger isn’t the only coach in a new position for the Scots. Longtime defen­ sive coordinator Pat Gillies is still with the program, but is handing over the reigns of the defense to Whitney Bell and Tim Penfield. Much of the success of the Scots this fall with start with 6-2 senior quarterback Jax Kinninger. Kinninger played quarterback in four games a year ago for the • Fighting Scots. “He has become the leader of our team with his dedica­ tion, his hard work and his lover for his teammates,” Burrill said. The Scot coach expects Kinninger to give the Scots an improved chance to pass the ball this season. “We are not asking him to win games, but we are asking him to make some plays.” Marcus Joplin-Pinero returns at running back for the Scots and on the defen­ sive line. Other key returnees for the Scots this fall include senior Jerry Mansfield in the mid­ die of the offensive and defensive lines, senior wide receiver Jack Snider, junior running back Carson VanderHoff, junior Tommy Russo at right tackle and senior cornerbacks Dilon Herrema and Mason Stanley. Burrill is also pleased to have talented kicker Mitchell Hooker returning. The top additions to the program include junior trans­ fer Blake Townsend, sopho­ mores Nick Fox, Caleb Paarlberg and Luke Mandsager. Ryan Stanton, a junior, will be tough on the defensive line with Townsend, Mansfield, and newcomers Anthony Long and Luke Houser. “On the field, I think our strengths will be our offen­ sive line and our defensive line,” Burrill said. “I really like our offensive line. Out of our six kids, five are underclassmen with Jerry Mansfield being the only •Ji* * <5 $ jt* s hisl wi I M I] I'm » Jax Kinninger senior. We do have a competition with one other senior. That is going to be one of the strengths of our team. We’re pretty big up front and we’re going to be fairly athletic for how big we are.” He says it is the first time that his team will really step off the bus and just visually look like an OK Red team. “We have not had that in three years since we’ve been in the Red,” Burrill said. The Scots will play their home opener Friday against Cedar Springs and then open the OK Red Conference sea­ son at East Kentwood Sept. 13. It’ll be another brutal sea­ son in the OK Red Conference. < M % 1^ 4 SJ 3 * �i ■ I 4 The Sun and News, Saturday, August 31,2019/ Page 15 For Rent Business Services STORE FOR RENT on Main St. in Middleville-Approximately 2,000 sq ft. $700 month plus utilities.

The Read by Grade Three Law* which was passed in 2016, goes into effect this fall, and schools have been using all three years to pre­ pare for it. The law requires third students who are a year or more behind in reading to be held back. Thomapple Kellogg had the highest percentage of third grade students testing proficient or above in English language arts in the Barry 3 A po sril rigid >irioiM ) srit bnuoH Mark Uyl County area. The district also was one of two districts to improve that percentage from last year, by 4.4 points, from 51.3 to 55.7. The state uses M-STEP scores to determine if students need to be held back, ' ~ educators " "" ~ say the; although test_ isn’t the best . indicator of where students are at - something even the state points out. “Summative assessments like the M-STEP are a snap­ shot taken at one moment in time and reflect only a very small portion of a student’s education,” state Superintendent Dr. Michael Rice said last week in a Michigan Department of MHSAA MHSAA ’s ’scatastrophic catastrophicand and concussion concussion care care insurance insurance plans. He was promoted to executive director last year following the retirement of longtime MHSAA director Jack Roberts, and is only the fifth full-time executive director in the association’s 95-year history. Bom the oldest of four children to Jim and Jane Uyl, Mark Uyl grew up in Caledonia and attended Dutton Elementary School, Caledonia Junior High School and finally Caledonia High, graduating in 1992. 44 It was a great place to Education press release announcing that the embargo had been lifted from the M-STEP scores. In the M-STEP scores from the end of the 2018-19 school year, some Barry County schools dropped in third grade English language arts proficiency from the 2017-18 assessment, and some improved. Delton Kellogg went from 30.4 percent of students categorized as advanced or proficient to 19.2, Hastings dropped from 49.1 to 41.3, Maple Valley increased 28.8 to 37.7 and Lakewood fell from 65 to 48.2.

Bertolini Bertolini asked, asked. same they only only have have one one or ortwo two ““IfIfthey test items to prove compe­ tency in a given standard that’s just tough ” In addition, the state is concerned about being too specific about what’s on the test, so it doesn’t give away future questions, Byrne said. That means the schools are unable to glean what specific skills students might be struggling in. “I don't argue with it as a point of consideration, in a multiple-point assessment,” 44 Bertolini said, But all by itself, I think it’s a little dan- tion between our M-STEP scores and NWEA scores for reading,” Delton Kellogg Superintendent Superintendent Kyle Kyle Corlett Corlett said. “Our third graders showed good growth in reading on NWEA, but our MSTEP scores were lower than we want them to be, so we’re investigating to find out what there is that disconnect.” Regardless of the issues educators may have with the M-STEP, it's the baseline for determining if students need to be held back, and schools have to prepare for it. ““We We have have worked worked tirelesstireless­ ly over the past four years in building a strong system foundation to use data to drive our instruction at the individual student level,” Hastings Area Schools Assistant Superintendent of Student Achievement Matt Goebel said. “We believe the strong professional development provided to our teach­ ers, along with adopting a new reading curriculum, Reading Street, has provided the tools for our teachers and students to be successful.” He pointed out that ALUM, continued from page 1 ir »• ® as sure reading, as outlined in the law.” That “unique and separate cut score” was not posted. “The M-STEP is a snap­ shot in time, one day at the end of a year,” Thomapple Kellogg Superintendent Rob Blitchok said. “Third grade is the first grade students even take the M-STEP.” Most schools use the Evaluation Northwest Association tests to deter­ mine student growth. Like many of its peers, Maple Valley has NWEA assessments three times a year, which Superintendent Dr. Katherine Bertolini said is more effective than the sin­ gle day of the M-STEP. “Any one thing could throw off a child’s day,” Bertolini said. Maple Valley Data and Assessment Coordinator Jeff Byrne pointed out that the test also changes each year, depending on the state’s phi­ losophy toward the test at the time. “If they left the test the same year after year, then we’d have a true judgment, but it’s constantly different,” tact with today. Perhaps my favorite teacher in high school was the choir teacher, Carol Gess, who was a tre­ mendous teacher and men­ tor.” After graduating from CHS, Uyl continued his ath­ letic and academic career close to home at Calvin College in Grand Rapids. He was a four-year starter in baseball as a first baseman for the Knights, served as team captain and twice earned All-Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association first-team hon­ ors. After graduating from Calvin, Uyl went on to earn a master’s degree in education­ al leadership from Grand Valley State University while teaching and coaching at Thornapple Kellogg Public Schools. He returned to CHS as athletic director for the 2000-01 school year, then went back to TK for two years as athletic director and assistant principal before joining the MHSAA.

This data allows teachers to create grade level and individual instruction plans throughout the school year, which is much more beneficial to the individual student.” “We are implementing a brand new reading curricu­ lum this year,” Corlett said. “We’ve changed our reading intervention times so that all students get support and not just those that are strug­ gling. Delton has created a readinS 'nterventionist position for early elementary stu­ dents, purchased new inter­ vention materials and has an instructional coach focusing on reading instruction sup­ port for kindergarten through third grade teachers. Thornapple Kellogg gives an individual reading plan at least three times a year to all kindergarten through third grade students who are per- tutoring, and multiple inter­ vention strategies, helps us meet the needs of all our learners,” Blitchok said. Byrne said involving par­ ents in their elementary student’s education is a key part of the equation. He pointed out the schools just can’t cover all the material during the school day, so they need to involve parents in making sure kids are learning the material. The training schools are doing also makes sure all the teachers are on the same page, Byrne said. They have documentation showing where the students are at, and staff members are trained in the same material so they are all speaking the same lan­ guage when it comes to cur­ riculum and intervention. “We have a cohesive plan that’s very comprehensive across levels, and I think that's why it’s working,” Bertolini said. 44 I think we have things in place for our third grade specifically, especially K-3, that the third grade reading law is not going to be an issue,” Byrne said. “Any students that are told to be held back by the state, we can put exemptions, so students who test too low on the M-STEP can still pass to the fourth grade under certain circum­ stances. Those instances called Good Cause called Exceptions, can include students in special education, those who have been enrolled in the district less than two years, who are learning English as a second language or who have a documented plan for intensive interven­ tion. “Ultimately, it gives par­ ents the right to request the no-retention option, and the school will support this,” Blitchok said. Whether the state will even follow through with its decision to retain third-grade students is something that isn't settled in the minds of educators, “You know how things get with the state.

(It does happen, however - over the period from 2004 through 2013, more than 25 million people left at least one 401(k) or similar plan behind when they left their job, according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office.) But you will have to do something with your account. Essentially, you have four choices: • You can cash out your 401(k). It's your money, but if you take it out before you reach 59 ’/z, you will owe federal income taxes, plus any applicable state and local taxes. Also, you will likely be charged a 10% penalty for FINANCIAL FOCUS Provided by Andrew McFadden and Jeffrey Westra of Edward Jones / early withdrawal.

You will face a withholding of 20% of your account's assets, but you may be able to recover most of this amount when you file your tax return. Still, for the sake of ease of movement and avoidance of all tax issues, a direct rollover may be more advantageous. Which of these options is right for you?

One of them seems to be that there’s an increase in death rate among white non-Hispanic males and females who’ve not attended college, and they're dying from what are called ‘Diseases of Despair’: Drug overdoses, including alcohol, suicides, particularly firearm suicides, and alcoholic liver disease.” Schirmer asked the board to OK an agreement for Blue Zones LLC, which had asked for approval to use office space in the county health department building.

The Bulldogs didn’t give them the chance. A fumble on the opening drive of the bailgame by the Trojans and a couple of mis­ plays on special teams helped the Byron Center varsity football team score a 33-14 non-conference win over Thomapple Kellogg in the home opener inside Bob White Stadium for the Trojans Friday. The Trojans lost a fumble on the third offensive play of the game, and four plays later Byron Center running back Austin Roon scored a 1-yard touchdown run that put his team up 7-0 with the help of do-everything quarterback/kicker/punter Austin VanderMarkt's extra-point kick. VanderMarkt was 7-of-7 passing for 85 yards and a touchdown in the ballgame, rushed 21 times for 151 down run later in the drive. drive, yards and another score. The drive lasted eight and a “They did some good half minutes and the Bulldogs things, both on offense and took a 20-7 lead on a threedefense, and we had two yard touchdown run by huge special teams errors, Austin Roon with 1:01 to go and that hurt us,” TK head in the first half. “Their quarterback was coach Jeff Dock said. “Our kids played hard,” he awesome.

Mitchell Middleton lined up to punt but the snap went over his head. He managed to chase the ball down, and fought to get a punt off, but the attempt was blocked by the Bulldogs and recovered in the end zone for a touchdown that put Byron Center in front 27-14. VanderMarkt added a twoyard touchdown run with 2:24 to go to seal the win for the visitors. Middleton’s punting had been a weapon for the Trojans in the first half. He had a 65-yard punt that pinned the Bulldogs back at their own 11-yard line in the opening quarter and a 55-yarder late in the quarter, “In the first half, that kid was an absolute stud punting the ball for us. He flipped the 41 field,” Dock said. “I don’t know how long his punts were, but they were bombs.” * Ihomapple Kellogg got its first points of the bail­ game on a 42-yard touch­ down pass from Nelson to junior wide receiver Cole Shoobridge. Nelson was just 2-of-8 passing on the night though, for 49 yards, Shoobridge had both of TK's receptions, Nelson was under pressure much of the night, both when he tried rush and when he tried to get the ball in the air. “We weren't as efficient as we need to be throwing the ball to him as we need to be, both calling more throws and then we weren't as crisp at hitting him today as we were in week one,” Dock said of Shoobridge. Colton Vanloozenoord led the Trojans on the ground, rushing 11 times for 75 yards. Nelson added 13 car­ ries for 42 yards. Jake DeJong had a teamhigh seven tackles for the TK defense. Colson Brummel had five and Alex Bonnema and Ryan Holmes had 4.5 added four tackles. The Trojans will be back at home next Friday, hosting Forest Hills Eastern in their OK Gold Conference opener. It is the Trojans’ salute to service night, where they will honor current service members and veterans of the armed forces as well as local first responders. Service members, veterans and first responders will get free entry into the contest. The football program is raising money for a couple of projects - to help local first responders purchase needed equipment and for security improvements at the Barry County Courthouse. The pro­ gram has been selling T-shirts, and will continue to at the football game Friday. There will also be donations buckets passed around throughout the crowd.

The council vote brought to a close an extensive review process that was launched by planning commissioners in late March after village vot­ ers split evenly - 376 to 376 - in November 2018 on Proposal 1, the measure that legalized marijuana for rec­ reational use in Michigan. “This was a methodical, laborious and time-consum­ ing, but also well-researched project,” said Trustee Eric VanGessel, who was part of a • • planning commission sub­ committee that looked into the positives and negatives of allowing marijuana-based facilities in Caledonia. The subcommittee looked at the potential tax revenue benefits of allowing cannabis-based businesses - the state can collect an excise tax of 10 percent from retail sales of marijuana - but also looked at the potential nega­ tive effects. Businesses in the village were surveyed to see how they felt about the idea, More than 60 percent of respondents opposed the measure. “The surveys we sent out were just to take the temperature of that part of our com­ munity that hadn’t been captured in the [November] vote, because businesses can’t vote,” Van Gessel said. “Although the number of surveys we got back were small, they did trend toward not wanting it as part of their H business community here." Van Gessel said communities that have adopted measures allowing marijua­ na-based businesses, such as Grand Rapids and Lowell, , i r . i have law enforcement and infrastructure resources that Caledonia simply does not have. The logistics of it were just too onerous for this community to adopt," he said. The council’s action leaves open the possibility that the village could revisit the issue at a later date. “From what I’ve seen so far, the state is so far behind [in implementing the new law] • • • they don’t know what’s going on.

He was still down, his legs in the splits, as the ball float­ ed down to Caledonia junior Andrew Larson at the net. Larson tapped a soft over­ head volley to the opposite comer to clinch a 10-5 win in a super tiebreaker - securing the first singles champion­ ship at the Caledonia Invitational. The Fighting Scots won three of the four doubles flights and two singles titles on their way to their first tournament championship of the season, finishing the day with 12 points, ahead of Lowell’s 7 and Grant’s 5. Zeriaut went into the match with Larson at the end of the day having won his first 12 matches of the sea­ son in straight sets. Larson, a second singles player a year ago who just stepped off the basketball court and picked up a racket once again in early August, pulled out a 6-4 win over the Tigers senior in the opening set. Zeriaut rallied for a 6-1 win in the second set before Larson pulled away in the super tiebreaker for the vic­ tory. “1 was super nervous, because he was undefeated,” Larson said. “That is what I heard. I just kind of went out there and played as hard as I could and how I play. I was happy to get the win. I think the first set I came out really strong and I felt confident, The second set, he just really took over and he was playing like he did and really took over. The tie-break, I just thought to myself I can do this, and I was confident.” Larson combined some consistent ground strokes with length and athleticism at the net to make things tough on his opponent.

It was the third year for the observance, which was organized by American Legion Post 140, along with the Village of Middleville and Thomapple Township. Participants in the service stressed the importance of remembering the attack and those who not only lost their lives that day, but those who later died from illnesses resulting from rescue efforts, and those from the military who have given their lives on the battlefield in Iraq and Afghanistan since the attack. For Capt. Hans Intgroen, a caieaoma Township Caledonia resident and longtime pilot for American Airlines, 9/11 is highly personal. He recalled flying into New York City just two days before the attack, going over the Hudson River just before landing. “I remember looking to my right and seeing the World Trade Center and 9' Times Square, all lit up, and the big dark area, which would be Central Park.

Hildebrant said she now tries to “pay it forward” by contributing to the Fresh Food Initiative whenever possible. She said even the smallest contributions can have the greatest impact. “When you give $5 or donate your time or you give supplies for backpacks to supply to kids, it means the world,” Hildebrant said. Greg Chandler Staff Writer The 83rd Barry County United Way campaign got underway Thursday with a kickoff breakfast at the Barry County Expo Center, fol­ lowed by nearly 500 volun­ teers fanning out throughout the county to undertake vari­ ous community projects for the United Way Day of Caring. Campaign organizers have set a $650,000 fundraising goal for this year. Executive Director Lani Forbes announced during the breakfast that about $136,000 in donations has been raised already through a leadership drive that preceded the pub­ lic campaign kickoff, well above the goal of $ 100,000. Teri Hildebrant, a Rutland Township resident, gave an emotional testimony about how United Way helped her family during challenging times. A mother of six, Hildebrant said the help she received through the Barry County Fresh Food Initiative, a local food distribution pro­ gram operated by United Way, along with help from other United Way-supported agencies, met her family’s need when she and her husband faced some difficult decisions. “[We were at a place HAS BEEN CANCELLED United Volunteers Carrie Wilgus (left) and Natalie Gilbert (right) assist Middleville village United Way Way contributions contributions go to support 34 programs gardener Jennifer Jones (center) in digging up landscaping in the downtown area, and services throughout community,” Noord and local resident Pediatrics in Hastings Barry County, representing into our Natalie Wilgus, about 20 partner agencies.

The Caledonia boys have been the champions at the Trojans’ annual invitational for five consecutive seasons. “It’s a great course. You always have a nice breeze off the lake. The girls ran well. I don’t know if we ran as well as last Friday. It was a little warmer,” Howell said, “1 told the girls I’m sure we’re going to have some meets in the 80’s. It is good to have some in the 70’s to get us there.” Caledonia had seven girls among the top 20 finishers, with senior Alana Black rounding out that pack by placing 18th in a season best time of 22:05.71.

The hobbling turned mto a spot in front of the bench, then an ice bag. After the half, Nelson was on the side lines in a white T-shirt and crutches, standing alongside trammate Colson Brummel who also tweaked a knee covering a punt at the end of the Trojans’ first possession of the ballgame and lost his pads while gaining some crutches at the half. Cool Wide receiver Shoobndge. who filled in so admirably for Nelson when he was out with an injury in 2018. was already in shorts and sneakers when the Trojans were honoring veter­ ans and first responders during their pregame Salute to Service ceremony. Thomapple Kellogg’s var­ sity football team fell to 1-2 on the season with a 21-14 lost to visiting Forest Hills Eastern in the OK Gold Conference opener inside Bob White Stadium in Middleville Friday night. The Trojans were never behind by more than seven points, but never led in the bailgame. TK rallied to tie the contest at 14-14 with junior Reese Garbrecht tak­ ing over at quarterback. Garbrecht was under center * for both Trojan scoring doves. He plowed between his left guard Blake Monroe and center Gavin Bailey on a second-and-goal sneak from the one-yard-line to score the Trojans' opening touchdown which tied the game at 7-7 with six minutes to go in the first half. Trojan head coach Jeff Dock said that Garbrecht and Shoobndgc were kind of a 2A and 2B at quarterback on the depth chart throughout the early season. “Reese did a heck of a job. He came in and he gnnded it. and he did everything in his power. I thought he executed really well. I'm proud of him." Thomapple Kellogg head coach Jeff Dock said. “We challenged our guys in practice to play hard and to play for four quarters, and they did. You look at the effort comparing last week to this week, well take a look at the film. I can't imagine it being anywhere near where we were last week, so I'm ecstatic for that. They fought. They had 4 go down and 1 J --J they- battled. go down, and Forest Hills Eastern scored the game's opening points after a fumbled punt by the Trojans left them with a short field. The Trojan offense turned the ball over on downs at midfield on the opening possession of the bailgame, but the TK defense forced a three-and-out, only to have the big turnover deep in its own end. FHE took over at TK’s 23-yard-line and found t five-yard touchdown pass to Grant Lancaster with 8:29 to go in the contest. Krueger finished the ball­ game 8-of-l 3 passing for 111 yards and the two touch­ downs. The Haw ks never got much going successfully on the ground, rushing for just 49 yards on 29 attempts. Forest Hills Eastern line­ backer John Morgan blew through the line to bust up a couple Trojan plays as TK tried to get back even over the final eight minutes, even as his offense had a couple plays that gave the Trojans some extra life. Morgan fin­ ished with ten tackles, including a sack and three tackles for a loss. We struggled with pick ing up (Morgan)," Dock said. “They blitzed in the B gap a lot. and we struggled picking that up. We didn’t execute. We knew that was what we were going to see. We just didn't do it. Brenner threw' a pass on a trick play on a third down wilh ab°ut three minutes to play that just slipped through the hands of TK’s Logan Kimbrue. On the next play. DeJong put a hard hit on another Hawks receiver to break up a fourth down pass attempt - giving the the Trojans one extra chance with the football. Garbrecht hit his first pass attempt of the Trojans' final drive, for five yards to Alex Bonnema, but the next cou­ ple Trojan pass attempts missed their mark including one deep down the left side by Adam Bush to DeJong that just managed to break out of the Trojan receiver’s grasp in double coverage in Hawks' territory. Drayven Hall led the TK defense with six tackles. Ryan Holmes had 5.5 tackles and Brendan Hood 4.5. Adam Bush added 3.5 tack­ les Nelson had nine rushes for 41 yards, Vanloozenoord 11 for 36 and Garbrecht 11 for 18 yards. Garbrecht was 4-of-6 passing for 36 yards. Thornapple Kellogg has been in the situation before. The team managed to find its way into the postseason even without its quarterback plan going as planned in 2018. Time will tell who’s under center for the Trojans in the weeks ahead. The Trojans head to Wayland next weekend to take on the 0-3 Wildcats who fell 42-0 to South Christian in their conference opener last night. 5 ■’if 4 'ft 'A I ry rx /JO I ll W |1 । ■{ M Thornapple Kellogg junior quarterback Reese Garbrecht barrels between center Gavin Bailey and right guard Blake Monroe to score the Trojans’ opening touchdown in a 21-14 loss to visiting Forest Hills Eastern Friday in Middleville.

They had to convert one fourth down run to keep the drive alive inside the Trojans’ three-yard-line. FHE's Luke Brenner rushed into the end zone from three yards out to score the game’s first points, and kicker Grant Coash added the extra-point kick. TK took over at its own 20 after the Hawks' kick-off, and Nelson led the drive to the Hawks' 30 before com­ ing off the field. Garbrecht hit his first pass fora 12-yard gain and a first down to Jake DeJong on his second snap, and a couple plays later he was plowing into the end zone for the short score. Mitchell Middleton's extra­ point kick was good to tie the ballgame at 7-7. 1 Forest Hills Eastern running back Luke Brenner scoots through the line as Trojan defenders Drayven Hall (23), Ryan Holmes (20) and Jake DeJong close in during the first half of their OK Gold Conference opener inside Bob White Stadium in Middleville Friday (Photo by Brett Bremer) •oth teams turned the ball over on downs one more time before the Hawks' start ed a second scoring drive that culminated in a 21-yard touchdown pass from Gage Krueger to Brenner. A second Coash extra-point put his team up 14-7 with 13 seconds left in the first half. The Hawks took the sec­ ond half kickoff and picked up one first down, before the Trojan defense smothered a fourth-and-one run at mid­ field to give the ball back to its offense. TK took over on its own 47-yard-line and methodical­ ly moved the ball down the field three, four and five yards at a time. Garbrecht got the Hawks to jump off­ side for a first down on a fourth-and-five, moving the ball to the Hawks' l()-yardline. Running back Colton Van I ooze noord drove for­ ward three times to get the ball to the two-yard-line and then junior running back Samuel McKeown took a pitch sprinting to his left and found a seam into the end zone to score the game-tying touchdown with 33 seconds left in the third quarter.

The My Middleville Downtown Development Authority board this week endorsed the project, which would be built just north of the Sesquicentennial Pavilion and east of the new amphi­ theater that is currently under construction. If the council approves the project Tuesday, Village Manager Duane Weeks will put the project out for bid this fall. estimates Preliminary from the Grand Rapids-based engineering firm Williams and Works put the project cost at $116,9€M). The DDA has committed $100,000 toward the construction cost, with the village to pick up the remainder. Weeks reviewed the proj­ ect design with the DDA board prior to the vote Tuesday. It calls for two unisex bathrooms and an enlarged storage area where all mechanicals, including a water heater, will be stored. The brick and stonework will be similar to that of the pavilion. “The purpose in the design was to mimic the pavilion that we have, as close as possible,” Weeks said. DDA Chairwoman Ann Ulber expressed concern about maintenance and for the upkeep costs restrooms after they are built, and said that the village council should address that issue as part of its discus­ sions on whether to move ahead with construction. “I don’t want us to be blindsided with the fact that we’re going to have to pay » the heating bill and any upkeep," Ulberg said. Weeks said that DDA should have a fairly good idea soon where it will be financially after construction is completed on the S238.000 amphitheater project, which is expected by the middle of next month. The DDA is paying for the new venue through its tax-increment financing program, where tax dollars paid by downtown businesses are captured and used to finance improvements and projects to enhance the downtown. “You would know your overall costs at that time, you would know your fund balance, you would know what your budget is going into 2020," Weeks said.

Short of driving in the wrong lane, you're going to get a wakeup call to know that something’s going on,” he said. “With as many peopie that are on cell phones. that are distracted with kids in the back that is one of the very few, if not the only, option that directly affects a driver's behavior." But Welch admitted there's a downside - the noise. He pointed out that the road commission tried rumble strips at another intersection a few years ago and ended up removing them because the neight noise was keeping neighbors awake at night, Welch also said at the Tuesday meeting that the new signage would be added to further advise motorists of the approaching stop sign, There'll be a stop sign on your left, a stop sign on your right, a stop-ahead on your left and stop-ahead on your right, w ith reflectors on the posts," he said, A 3-month-old girl, whose name has not been released, was killed in a two-vehicle crash al Wood School and Eckert on Sept. 9. On July 4, 53-year-old Lori Russell of Freeport was critically injured in a two-car crash at the same intersection. She died the following day at a Grand Rapids hospital. In both instances, the crashes were caused by drivers who failed to stop on Wood School Road, Welch said. praised the road commission for its responsiveness, but expressed worn about future crashes. “Last night you were out there, putting flags up on the [stop] signs. Not more than an hour and a half [later], there was a Jeep heading north [that didn't stop]," Reigler said. “It's daily that we see cars not stop ... I don't know whether they're on the phone. They don't stop.” Welch said no traffic con­ trol measure is perfect, but that the road commission is committed to doing whatever it can to make the intersec­ tion safer. “We re just as sad as you guys are. Our families live in this area,” Welch said. •rad [Lamberg. road commission managing director] lives a couple of miles away. My wife drives [through] that intersection. We're just as concerned as you guys are. Russell’s brother. Chuck Lindsay, made an emotional appeal to the road commission to do something to make the intersection safer. “It would break my heart to think that there have been two deaths, and no effort is made for change," he said. Despite the two recent fatal crashes, the Wood School/Eckert intersection had not been identified as a high-crash area in past analyses of crashes around Bam County. Seven crashes have been reported at the intersec­ tion since 2008. Four of the seven crashes resulted from drivers failing to stop at the stop sign, Welch said. Dave Yoder, who has lived at the comer of Wood School and Eckert for 47 years, asked the road commission about measuring traffic vol­ umes at the intersection. “It seems like the traffic has doubled every 10 years,” Yoder said. “When they took that bridge out up on Hastings Road, it seemed like every­ body [came] this way, and it doesn't seem like it's decreased that much [since the bridge was replaced]." Welch said traffic counts were taken last year on Eckert and earlier this spring on Wood School, and count ers have been put back out again at all four approaches of the intersection to measure current counts.

September 21, 2019 Page 5 MARKET, continued from page ty would object to the change. “It’s a hard decision. It’s going to get some pushback. but I think ultimately it’s the right decision for the mar­ ket,” she said. The Market on Main, which is currently open Fridays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., has been in existence for 15 years. Lavell told DDA board members that while the Market on Main has attracted about 30 individual vendors this summer, organizers have had difficulty in attracting produce vendors, despite efforts by Lavell to reach out to farmers through email and social media. I <S'S ss »S' *>bs ? v :v In talking with the mar­ ket master at the Fulton Street market [in Grand Rapids) and looking at other information about small farmers markets, this is the trend. It is what it is,” Lavell said. “Farmers are retiring or they’re dying, there are fewer small farms than there used to be, they’re going to larger markets. They don’t want to deal with a Friday market when they’re planning for a Saturday market in a larger venue.” Lavell said some vendors have expressed support for the proposed change, but she said two large vendors are “staunchly opposed,” includ­ ing one large produce ven- dor. One option being looked at to accommodate current food vendors is holding a food stamp Friday” on the back deck of the DDA offic­ es. Amanda Shreve, execu­ tive director of the Michigan Farmers Market Association, said she is seeing similar challenges for small-town farmers markets across the state state in in finding finding produce produce venven­ dors. While While the the number of dors. markets in the stale has grown grown from from 90 90 in in 2006 2006 to to more than 300 today, that growth has come at a time when fewer people are get­ ting into farming. “There’s a real deal of interest in where food comes 44 4 from and accessing locally grown food,” Shreve said. With the proposed chang­ es in the market format and time, Lavell said it would make sense to eliminate the market master position, a 10-hour-a-week job. and have Lyke pick up those responsibilities, “She is very, very capable of absorbing what the market master’s role is, especially if it’s on Friday evenings when she’s already here because of those concerts,” she said. Lyke said she can handle the responsibilities of the market without affecting her current DDA responsibilities. “I do think it would be something that would fold into my duties right now without adding a lot of extra work.” she said. “There have been a couple of instances where Megan’s been on vacation or not able to come in, and I’ve done the market in the morning, and it’s had no impact on my hours for the week. I don't see that being an issue at all. DDA member Jason Van Dam applauded the proposed changes, saying the biggest complaint he hears from res­ idents is not being able to go to the market because the) re usually al work when the market is going on. “I love the idea of the Friday night [market]. It opens so many more doors for us,” Van Dam said. Lyke emphasized that nothing has been set in stone on the proposed changes. She said that after the market season ends Oct. 18, there will be further discussions with \endors on the future direction of the market, The DDA sets aside about $4,200 annually for the Market on Main, accounting for about 15 percent of the organization’s community events budget. That figure does not include any income that comes to DDA through vendor fees, Lyke said. * <0 kA it ■w Kt 1^^ is ^14 faJ «*** '■* 4 ?-W|[ 9:00 Breakfast Cafe K>| I j i.fl) 35 6 baptist (church alaska si Ik to 7240 68th Street SE Caledonia, Ml 49316 616-698-8104 * »# tai M 'I Our mission is to worship God and equip Sunday Services; 9:30 AM - Worship 11:00 AM - Sunday School 6:00 PM - Adult Bible Study 6:00 PM - Student Ministries committed followers of Jesus Christ who will •■ * ssi wtb b ® fe< ■ reach our community with the Gospel Dr Brian F.

(Photo by Brett Bremer) Brett Bremer Sports Editor It ended with a three-set loss to one of the top teams in the country, not just the state, but it was still a pretty great stretch for the Caledonia varsity volleyball team in the past week. The Fighting Scots won their home Micayla Kohn Memorial Tournament for the first time Saturday at Caledonia High School and followed that up by playin at least as well in a 3-0 loss to Hudsonville in the OK Red Conference opener at Caledonia High School Thursday, “I was proud of us,” Caledonia head coach Missy Ritz-Johnson said after her team’s 25-19, 25-20, 25-20 to the second ranked team in the state in Division 1 Thursday. “I was very proud of our effort and our fight. I think we played well. I think if we continue to play that well, that will turn into some wins. “We’re going to keep get­ ting better.” Hudsonville improved to 19-2 overall with the win. The Eagles’ only three defeats this season have come against Lowell, the third-ranked team in DI who the Eagles have also beaten this season, and the defending Division 2 state champi­ ons from Grand Rapids Christian who are currently ranked first in the state in Division 2. All three sets were extremely competitive Thursday. Caledonia led the third set 17-15, forcing an Eagle timeout. Fighting Scot libero Amber Jakiel knocked WE'RE HIRING BECOME AN EMPLOYEE OWNER Job Fair - Open Interviews ' a serve short to the court on the other side of the net upping the Scots’ lead to 18-15 before the Eagles ral­ lied to take the next three points and even things up in that final set. Caledonia had a 20-19 lead before the Eagles rattled off the final six points in a row to clinch the victory. Senior outside hitter Mallory Keller powered the Eagle attack, pounding 17 kills. Sophomore middle Olivia Howlett added seven kills and a match-high four total blocks, while Hudsonville senior outside hitter Braely Herrema added six kills. Carlina Bender had 20 digs for the Eagles and senior setter Kay lee Maat put up 27 assists. “It is really hard to come up short against a team we know is really good in our conference, but otherwise I think we fought really well and we know we can han with any team in the OK Red at this point,” Caledonia junior setter Lydia Harper said following the loss. Harper led the Scots in kills with 11 and assists with ten, while adding 13 digs, Senior libero Amber Jakiel had 19 digs and three aces for the Scots. Sophomore middle Maddie Morris added eight kills and three blocks. Harper split the setting duties with freshman setter Avery Palmateer, who had six assists. “Avery’s success as a freshman setter and her work ethic have allowed us to let Lydia hit and that is really going to help us be a suc­ cessful team,” Ritz-Johnson said. “I am really proud of Avery, and of Lydia and her leadership. She really is a great leader on and off the court and a great teammate.” Lydia spent her first two varsity seasons as the Fighting Scots’ primary setter. Now especially, with junior hitter Audrey Torres suffering sufferin8 an inJury at Saturday’s tournament, the Scots need her swings on the outside of the net. “It is really weird, but it is so much fun to be in a little more control than I usually am,” Harper said. “I have never hit outside, so really getting into that role, and being into that mindset to go get a kill, go get a point, it is really fun to know that I can be in charge of that and have some of the praise because usually as a setter you don’t get that.” Lydia said Palmateer has helped her stay positive at times this season and having the young setter to mentor is making her a better leader overall. The sharing of the settin duties has been going on since the preseason. The loss of Torres, who coach RitzJohnson praised for her support of her teammates from the sidelines since the week­ end, put some other players into new roles as well. “Ella Moorlag and Tori Melpolder are both sopho­ mores that were kind of three rotation players and tonight they both played six rotations,” Ritz-Johnson said. “Tonight those two girls really stepped up, and they both really stepped up up on Saturday. Ella is young and she absolutely gets better every time she comes to practice. She plays with a lot of energy and a lot of fire and brings a lot of positives to our team.” Caledonia went 3-1 at the Macayla Kohn Memorial Invitational, besting Edwardsburg, a team ranked tenth in the state in Division 2, 25-17, 14-25, 15-12 for the championship. “It was crazy. We had cry­ ing. We had hands on the floor. We were hugging. It was amazing,” Harper said of getting to win the tourna­ ment championship. Edwardsburg had beaten the Scots 25-18, 25-18 earlier in the day. Caledonia also scored a 25-14, 25-15 win over Saranac Saturday and beat Coopersville, ranked fifth in Division 2, 25-23, 21-25, 15-13.

Harper had 33 kills and 37 assists on the day, and also had 18 digs. Palmateer finished with 27 assists. Morris led the Scots in blocks with four and aces with nine, while also contributing 21 kills. Melpolder had 11 kills, 19 digs and five aces. Jakiel led the Scots with 28 digs and Ella Moorla contributed 20.

The Trojans fell 25-16, 25-19, 25-23 in their OK Gold Conference opener against East Grand Rapids Tuesday in Middleville and then had to take on the defending Division 2 state champions from Grand Rapids Christian in Grand Rapids Thursday “We weren’t moving as well on defense as 1 would have liked. It took us a little while to get ourselves going as far as intensity goes and everything else,” Thomapple Kellogg head coach Tia Cross said after her team's loss to the visiting Pioneers Tuesday. “We have to be able to come out the first game and be positive, and be intense and be fired up right off the bat. “No more slow starts. We have spotted a team 11 points. We spotted them six or eight in that first game.

We are getting together as a team and we are right there on the edge of all of these games. We just have got to finish. We have been battling every game, just being right in it,” Cross said. The Trojans were in action at the Battle Creek Lakeview Invitational Saturday, and fell in all four of their match­ es. Cross was happy to see the improved serving in action there. TK had almost half as many service errors last week as it had the week before. Wilkinson had 16 kills on the day, Ellie Shoobridge 15 to go with seven blocks, and Tyah Jefferson added 13 kills.

Those long-term substi­ tutes are being utilized because schools are strug­ gling to find enough full­ time, certified teachers, par­ ticularly in hard-to-fill sub­ jects such as science and math, and in urban and rural schools. According to the CRC report: Per-pupil spending has increased 12 percent in the past five years. But aver­ age teacher pay has been flat over those years. That’s because increases in pension liabilities are eat­ ing up much of the funding increases. Payments districts must make for unfunded lia­ bilities of retiree pensions increased from 22.6 percent of payroll in 2013, to 33.2 percent in 2019. Those salaries are an example of overall flat spending at the classroom level. The number of support staff in schools - teaching assistants, for example hasn't increased, either. Calls to numerous legisla­ tors seeking comment were not immediately returned. “Pensions are part of overall compensation for educators." said Doug Pratt, spokesman for the Michigan Education Association, the state's largest teacher union. “The issue stagnating sala­ ries is that education funding hasn't kept up with increas­ ing costs over the past 25 years, with the MSU study (a study by David Arsen) peg­ ging us dead last in the coun­ try for increases over that period.” “We can meet pension obligations and pay educa­ tors better,” Pratt said, “but we have to fix our broken education funding.” Deadline extended for local artist exhibition The Thornapple Arts Council Historic and Charlton Park will host the juried fifth annual Barry County Artists Exhibition to be on display at the park this fall. “This partnership with Historic Charlton Park allows us to support artists with beautiful display space, as well as bring high-quality local art to the Barry County community,” said Megan Lavell, executive director of the Thornapple Arts Council. “If you paint, photograph, construct, sculpt, etc., this is a great opportunity to reach a broad audience and win cash prizes.” The exhibition will be on display in the Irving D.

The Hudsonville Eagles spoiled homecoming for the Caledonia varsity football team with a 27-20 victory over the Fighting Scots inside Ralph E. Myers Stadium in Caledonia. The Fighting Scots led by 10 points at the half, but then saw the Eagles go up 17 with 27 unanswered points in the first 15 minutes of the sec­ ond half. Caledonia got a defensive touchdown, a field goal, and on-side kick to hold the ball down one score in the clos­ ing seconds. Caledonia quar­ terback Jax Kinninger’s last heave was hauled in by Hudsonville’s Nate St. John though to seal the victory for the now 3-1 Eagles. Caledonia falls to 1-3 with the defeat, and 0-2 in the OK Red Conference.

Even in the end, our kids got a field goal, battled down to within seven points, never quit.

Hooker scooted the ball ahead, chasing it himself before slamming into the Eagle wall to give his team­ mates the chance to pile on top of it. Senior Ben Klein recovered at the Scots' 44-yard-line, leaving his team 56 yards from a happy ending. “We flew to the ball, made Caledonia’s Luke Mandsager (28) wraps up Hudsonville's Ike Irish as teammates Mason Stanley (18) and some picks.

The game started earlier in response to the the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services' advisory to reschedule outdoor events that occur at or after dusk because of the risk of mos­ quito-borne Eastern equine encephalitis virus. The virus has been confirmed in eight humans thus far and health officials announced Friday that the region at highest risk involves 11 counties: Barry, Berrien, Calhoun, Cass, Genesee, Jackson, Kalamazoo, Lapeer, Montcalm, St. Joseph and Van Buren. Dock said they tried to keep as close to a normal schedule as possible, but the early game prompted two reactions from his players: “One is that it was hot, really hot,” he said. “And, two, it was really weird coming home when it was still light out.” Thomapple Kellogg will play Wyoming at home on Sept. 27, the Trojans’ homecoming contest.

That was a turning point in the game. The next series of plays were dominat­ ed by carries by either Hood or Garbrecht, and resulted in a touchdown by Garbrecht, solidifying the Trojan lead at 13-8. The kickoff by Mitchell Middleton was a touchback, and the Wildcats struggled to gain any yardage after they fumbled, then recovered, the ball. Meanwhile, the Trojans added added more more points points to to the the board with with aa successful successful board 27-yard field goal attempt by Middleton, going in front 16-8. After halftime, Wayland rallied and drove down the field, helped by a couple of penalties by the Trojans. The drive culminated in a 19-yard run by Dole. A two-point conversion attempt was no good. Garbrecht came out run­ ning in the fourth quarter for a 13-yard touchdown, with the point-after kick from Middleton, to put the score at 23-14.

Garbrecht tossed a 54-yard completion to team­ mate Adam Bush for a touchdown in the first quarter. “Reese is doing a fantastic job,” Dock said. “He played extremely well in running offense and ball security." It was an emotional evening for many of the players, starting with a somber tribute before the game to honor 17-year-old Ethan Mutschler, a Wayland Union High School football player who was killed in a crash on July 12. Thornapple Kellogg’s Brendan and Owen Hood are Mutschler’s stepbrothers.

And, in a tradition Dock described as gracious, the jersey was carried out by Brendan, and sixth-grader Owen Hood. Wayland, which was 0-3 coming into Friday’s game, was first on the scoreboard with a four-yard pass by quarterback Justin Holtz to Kaden Dole touchdown and two-point conversion to start. The Trojans answered with Garbrecht’s 54-yard pass to Bush for six, but the point after kick was no good.

Joni Henry was appointed to the position during a spe­ meeting board cial Wednesday, two days after she interviewed with a three-member board sub­ committee for the opening that was created by the resig­ nation earlier this month of longtime clerk Jennifer Venema. “I’ve lived here all my life, I love the town and I want to give back,” said Henry, who has been a paralegal in the Grand Rapids area for about 20 years. She is a 1985 Caledonia High School graduate. Henry, 52, was picked from three candidates who submitted applications for the position.

We found it with with many, many, many many projects, projects, (such as) the bridge. Seems like anything Williams and Works does, the final figure is much higher than the orig­ inal estimate this is old • • • hat. ” hat." Village President Charlie Pullen concurred. “I'd take it back to Williams and Works and tell them they better trim the cost a little bit,” he said. The minimum Williams and Works had offered, without the community work­ shop, open house and survey, was $12,000. Village Manager Duane Weeks said that having some type of public input into the master plan is worthwhile, “I do think it is important to •...• • get the residents that this is going to effect, to get their opinion at the begin­ ning of the process rather than at the end of the pro­ cess, so their thoughts or concerns can be heard as we work through this process," Weeks said. The planning commission could address the issue this coming Tuesday when it is scheduled to meet again. €4 interviewed Monday by the subcommittee, which consisted of Supervisor Bryan Harrison, Treasurer/ Administrator Richard Robertson and Trustee Dale Hermenet. “We were looking for a person who was interested in serving the community,” Robertson said. Henry once served as chairwoman of the township local officers compensation commission, which recom­ mended salaries for the township board. She also served as co-president of the Parent Teacher Organization at Kettle Lake Elementary School and Duncan Lake Middle School. Shortly after her appoint­ ment and being sworn into her new office, Henry joined the rest of the board in approving a new salary of $15,000 for the position. The vote on reducing the clerk's salary was needed because of a state law that prevents a governmental body from reducing an elected official’s salary during a term of office without that official's approval. Venema, who had town­ ship clerk for the past 13 years, resigned effective Sept. 6 to take a job job in the private sector. Prior to her resignation taking effect, the township board approved a restructuring of the clerk's office, changing the elected clerk position from full-time to part-time and adding a full-time assistant assistant to to the the Greg, have tour children, all full-time office to go along with a of whom have graduated part-time person who already from Caledonia High School, works 24 hours a week.

Henry and her husband, Riverfront development moves along Greg Chandler Staff Writer The Middleville Village Council Tuesday gave Village Manager Duane Weeks the go-ahead to seek bids on construction of the new public restrooms at East Bank Park. The council unanimously approved moving ahead with the bid process for the proj­ ect, which village officials hope to have completed by next spring. “I am hopeful that we’ll be able to get these bids out yet this fall, and give the contractors a fairly open timeline to get this project finished,” Weeks said. The restrooms will be built just north of the Sesquicentennial Pavilion and east of the new amphi­ theater that is currently under construction. Preliminary estimates from the Grand Rapids-based engineering firm of Williams and Works put the project cost at $116,900. The My Middleville Downtown Development Authority has committed $100,000 toward the construction cost, with the village to pick up the remainder. The building will consist of two unisex restrooms along with a storage area where all mechanicals, including a water heater, will be stored. The storage area will also be available for DDA to store banners for the Market on Main and Riverbank Music Series, Weeks said. The council did not dis­ cuss maintenance and upkeep costs for the restrooms after construction prior to the vote. DDA Chairwoman Ann Ulberg last week expressed concern about such costs, saying that she did not want to be “blindsided" by an or unexpected heating upkeep bill.

He had no idea what was ahead in his future back then but, fast-forward seven decades, Williamson would be named Thornapple the ThornaDDle Area Enrichment Foundation’s Hometown Hero. The mission statement that appears on its website describes nearly exactly why the TAEF considers Williamson deserving of the honor. “Whether you are a parent of a student in need of educapost-secondary tion support, a teacher with a classroom need, or an indi- needs and offer their support. The mission of the Thornapple Area Enrichment Foundation is to cultivate a strong community now and forever.” A special Hometown Hero Award was presented to Williamson during a Sept. 19 dinner at the Barry County Enrichment Center by TAEF President Kristen Cove. Cove paid special tribute to the new Hometown Hero in front of a crowd of about 130 family members and friends who Williamson has made throughout the years, “Don Williamson was selected for his steadfast dedication to Middleville," said Cove. “In his life, Don has accomplished many He’s a founding things.

Bob Williams said Don Williamson was a close friend while growing up, even considering him “a fifth brother” who would spend many days at his home and after late night Army Reserve meetings. Many times, Williamson would stay the night and, the next morning, the two would go to school together. Williams was a special speaker at the event and sat on the TAEF board with Williamson for 12 years. He said the two of them for many years were co-chairs of the traditonal Hometown Hero dinner. “It's so fun to come back when somebody else had to do all the work,” he laughed. Williams pointed out that the reason for the TAEF din­ ner is to recognize “leaders like Don and call our atten­ tion to philanthropy in the community, a topic that is J /<< '1** X $ & Don and Cathy Williamson have been married for 58 years near and dear to my heart.” Both he and Williamson signed up for the Army Reserves their junior year in high school. “We are proud to be mem­ bers of the Class of ’57,” said Williams. “So far, ours is the only class that has a fund in TAEF and we use it to give a scholarship. Different mem­ bers of our class have gone on Honors Night to present that gift to a young graduat- ing senior going on to college, “I wish I could tell you how it feels. It s like some­ one was sitting in a chair and you reached and took their hand and kind of pulled them up to give them a hand to help them get started. People did it for me and it’s so nice to be able to that for somebody else.” Williamson played a big part in establishing the class of 1957 scholarship and the TK Alumni Association Fund. He and his wife, Cathy, also started an art scholar­ ship through TAEF. The oldest of the four Williamson children. Melinda Williamson-Cutlip, said it’s an honor to be able to celebrate her dad. She said he’s always been passionate about his family, “but right up there is his passion for Middleville, his community and TK schools.” When asked what the community gave to him, Williamson replied, “Friends and mentors in the school that just set my shoulders in a certain direction and helped « i_0 E.

Her name was Edna Bender and she was the art teacher at Thomapple Kellogg.” Williamson went into the Army Reserves after high school, serving eight years while attending Kendall College of Art and Design where he earned his Fine Arts degree and later a Master's degree in Fine Arts from Western Michigan University.

His family and friends were not his only fans. Major League scouts took a seat to watch him play and, in 1958, Williamson signed with the Detroit Tigers for a couple of years in their minor leagues but played out of Grand Rapids, He went to spring training and then played with the Grand Rapids Sullivans. He said his high school coach Bob White was a very important mentor to him along with Jerry Page, Rex Schad and many others. Cutlip-Willaimson said her dad has always been a giver and is generous. “Every day he gives back to all of us,” she said. “He has given to his community quite generously, too, of his time and talents and he’s made this a community that we all are proud to call home.” The new Hometown Hero said one of the things he trea­ sures most in his life is, “Overall, the friends that I’ve met and kept.” He said he is very proud of serving on the TK school board for 20 years.

She said she met Williamson while she was taking one of his adult education watercol­ or classes. She served on the TAEFboard with Williamson. Don obviously helped to inspire and was instrumental in developing several funds within the Thomapple Area Enrichment Foundation.

Why would someone work on a community project? Williamson asked after receiving his award. “It’s because it becomes social, it makes a difference, promotes an idea, it’s a self-commit­ ment but the biggest thing in my case is that we're giving back. The school is very important to me. As I grew up in this community, many people were mentors, teachers, families.

He is about as humble a kid as you’re going to find. The offensive line finally started getting offjhe ball and getting a little nasty.” All the Scots were quite good against the overmatched Panthers. Caledonia senior quarterback Jax Kinninger threw two touchdown passes to senior split end Jack Snider, The first came on a fourth- left comer of the end zone to put his team in front four minutes into the contest. Burrill said the threat of Snider on the outside also helps clear the way for the runnin:.11 game a bit, as running defenses have to have more than one set of eyes on the senior receiver. Kinninger was 7-of-9 passing for 143 yards and the two touchdowns. Snider had three catches for 84 yards, Jalan Shinn two catches for 28 yards and Joplin-Pinero two for 25 yards. Kinninger also rushed 12 times for 45 yards. Caledonia kicker Mitchell Hooker was a perfect on extra-point kicks, and also recovered an onside kick himself that helped turn a 21-7 Caledonia lead at the end of the first quarter into a quick 28-7 lead at the start of the second. A group of five other Caledonia guys got rushing attempts in the bailgame, including a couple from the JV squad that dresses with the varsity Thursday because West Ottawa does not have a JV team this fall. “I woke up this morning and said, with them not play­ ing JV football, we already The weather is going to be awful tomorrow. Why take a chance. We don’t want to come back on Saturday. I called their head coach and said I have an idea for you.” The move also prevented the freshmen from playing in Kent County Thursday, where new concerns about eastern equine encephalitis came up this week after the mosquito-spread virus was found in a deer carcass.

We’ll address that in practice tomorrow and going forward,” Wood said. Each team had a goal waved off for offside in the second half. The Eagles’ chance was as clear viola­ tion, as Reed Vanderlugt was still in the goal after battling Ruth for a ball in the air. The Trojans’ non-goal was a little more controversial as it came on a late decision after some debate. Goudzwaard drilled a low pass ahead on a counter attack that teammate Noah Myers deflected along the Eagle defensive line with teammate Tyler Gehres charging through. Gehres beat the Eagle keeper oneon-one, but it was ruled in the end that he had been a step behind the defense when Myers tipped the pass through. The Trojans didn't get down after seeing the scoring chance lost with less than 19 minutes to play. “We haven’t had any issues off the field. They work hard in practice.

The district reported a unaudited head count of 4,867 students during Wednesday's statewide count day, an increase of 20 stu­ dents from last year’s fall count. The district had pro­ jected an increase of 30 stu­ dents from the 2018-19 school year, Superintendent Dedrick Martin said.

The fall count accounts for 90 percent of school funding for the year, with the remaining 10 percent coming from a second count to be conducted in February. In addition, Caledonia’s final enrollment figure is influenced by “shared time" service agreements with sev­ eral private schools in the area. “These agreements help our area private schools reduce their their operating reduce expenses as our district employs some of their class- room teachers on our payroll or have some of our teachers travel out to various private schools to provide classroom instruction,” district Finance Director Sara DeVries wrote in an e-mail to The Sun and News in August. “In return, our district v ets to count a small percentage of these students into our final head count for state funding, which we refer to as full-time equivalent.” While Caledonia ended 2018-19 with an in-district enrollment of 4,872, the final headcount for state funding, factoring in shared time agreements, came out a full­ time equivalent of 5,053.24, DeVries said. < * Caledonia FFA member attends National Farmer Union event Last month, National Farmers Union members gathered in Washington, D.C., to attend the National Farmers Union Legislative Fly-In. Members from all 33 state organizations discussed agricultural issues and cate­ gorized the top priorities across the nation. The NFU brought in s akers and experts to discuss with the 400 attendees, among them, Caledonia FFA officer Remi Huver, Issues highlighted includ­ ed biofuel resolutions, the downfall of small dairy farms, and trade wars. Every attendee had the opportunity to speak with members of Congress and connect these issues to their own communi­ ties and states. Huver has been a member of the Caledonia FFA for four years.

That brings the total number of students at McFall to 555, up from 515 last year. Blitchok said this year’s school of choice openings were reduced at McFall because of growing concern about lack of classroom space. Lee Elementary, the mid­ dle school, and the high school also are up in enroll­ ment. Behind McFall's 40-student increase, the high school saw the second-larg­ est growth for the district. increasing by 23 students and bringing the total high school student body up to 987 students. The middle school also saw an increase of 15 stu­ dents, putting the building at 730 students. Lee Elementary remained steady with an increase of four students to 454 in the building. Page was the only school seeing a decline and now' has 484 students - down slightly from a year ago. The district also counts 23 early childhood special education students included in the overall count numbers, but not assigned to a specific grade level or building, Tuesday's count numbers are still unofficial until a final audit by the state. Blitchok said he's happy to see the increasing num­ bers at TK during a time when many school districts are still facing declining enrollments. “We have great schools and a great community. This is a place where people want to come and raise their fami­ lies and attend school," he said. Water rate increase proposed in Middleville for service line replacement Greg Chandler Sra# Writer Middleville residents could see up to a 4 percent increase in their water rates next year as the village seeks to replace lead service lines that connect to homes and businesses in the village. Department of Public Works Director Alec Belson proposed the increase Tuesday at the village council's committee of the whole meeting. Belson told council members his staff is working on an inventory of water service lines in the village, The number of lines that would need to be replaced by the year 2040 could range from 170 to 350, at an average replacement cost of $5,000 per line. That would make a potential worst-case- scenario cost of $1.75 $ 1.75 million for the village, he said. “Currently, there are no state or federal funding grants that I know of that are out there to assist with that," Belson said. Michigan The Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy requires communities to conduct an inventory of their water service lines and update the state annually on service replacement efforts. In addition, under expanded requirements in the Lead and Copper Rule, water suppliers with lead service lines must replace all such lines at an average rate of 5 percent per year year over over no no more more than than 20 20 years, regardless regardless of of current current years, levels of lead in drinking water. Village Manager Duane Weeks said while there have been a couple of instances of lead levels in water samples exceeding state standards adding “We're not sure where those come from" most other samples of the village’s water system have shown levels “substantially below" action levels, “The requirement in this replacement is not necessarily stating that there's something going on,” Weeks said. “These [homes] have been connected at some time with a lead service line and we need to replace those.” Village staff members are expected to provide an update onthe proposed rate increase for the next increase committee of the whole meeting the first week of November. 4* • • • Orangeville Township seeking tougher litter ordinance Karen Tiirko-Ebright Contributing Writer Orangeville Township board members aired their opinions about adopting a proposed litter ordinance crafted by their township attorney. Supervisor Tom Rook presented the ordi­ nance for their approval at the Tuesday, Oct. 1, meeting. Attorney Roxanne Seeber of Bauckham, Sparks, Thall, Seeber and Kaufman P.C. in Portage advised the board to obtain a litter ordinance because of numerous com­ plaints over the years about a residence with a lot of visible garbage. Township representatives contacted the county about the situation. Barry County Planning and Zoning Director Jim McManus said he is aware of the garbage com­ plaints of one particular resi- dent in the county and that the situation has been ongoing close to 50 years. “We received the comcom­ plaint, but we have limitalimita­ tions to what we can do with that property because of its ase.” McManus said. “If age, something pre-dates zoning, it’s grandfathered. It limits the abilities for zoning to deal with it." However, he said, the county is working with the homeowner to try to “clean up the property the best they See LITTER, page 2 In This Issue... • Middleville planners send consultant proposal back to village council • Middleville DDA seeking input • DK-TK-Hastings girls take first battle of co-champs • Mud flies as Gold gathers for second jamboree at South * > * I 1 ft U.i . < .

Saturday, October 5, 2019 ATTENDS, continued from page 1 FINANCIAL FOCUS C Provided by Andrew McFadden and Jeffrey Westra of Edward Jones k How to become a long-term investor following actions: • Only invest money you won t needfor a long time. If you can tell yourself that the money you are investin today is money you won’t really need for 20 or 30 years, you’ll be better prepared, psychologically, to get through the down periods of the financial markets. And as long as you aren’t overextending yourself financially in other parts of your life, you really shouldn’t need those investment dollars for a very long time. They should be earmarked for goals you hope to achieve far into the future, such as a comfortable retirement. • Keep your focus on what is most important to you. If you can visualize your longterm oals, you’ll find it easier to keep working toward them. For example, if you are hoping to travel extensively when you retire, keep thinkin about what that might look like. You might even research the countries you plan to visit, even if these trips are far in the future. Ultimately, if you know where you’re going It’s a fairly predictable pattern: When the stock market rises, more people invest, but after a large-scale drop, many of these same people head for the exits, But by staying out of the financial markets, and only putting their money in “safe” vehicles that offer few or no growth prospects, are they really helping themselves? Here’s the bottom line: If you’re going to make progress toward your long­ term goals, you have to become a long-term investor. But how? To begin with, you need to understand that long-term investing involves accepting inevitable short-term price swings. You may not like seeing those sharp price drops, but it will help your outlook greatly if you can keep them in perspective. Studies have shown that the longer you hold your investments, the less impact market volatility can have on them. So, to reach that point where the market’s ups and downs have less of a cumulative impact on your consider holdings, the •J •J ■ •J MO’ STORAGE *. —* '• J ? 24 hour access and security MONTH TO MONTH OR LONG TERM Month to Month Long Term Storage 10x23x16 • $80/mo 10x23x16 • $6667/mo 5x23x16 • $60/mo 5x23x16• s50/mo 6x10x7 • $40/mo 6x10x7 • $3333/mo STORAGEI and you’re adetermined to get there, you’ll get past the bumps in the road, • Don't spend excessive time reviewing your investment statements. A bad month or two can cause some noticeably negative numbers on your investment statements. But if you can discipline yourself to avoid spending too much time dwelling on these figures, you may feel less stress about investing - and you may even be less tempted to make short-term moves that could have unfortunate longterm results. However, if you do want to study your investment statements, don’t just stop at the most recent results. Instead, look for trends that might tell a different story. Has the number of shares you own in various investments increased significantly over time? And over the past five or 10 years, has your portfolio’s overall performance been positive? By digging a little deeper into your statements, you might gain more confidence the course you’re in following. Short-term price drops are not pleasant to experience, However, you can help yourself become a better long-term investor by following the above suggestions, so put them to work soon - and stick with them.

She made friends who share her passion for agriculture and had the privilege to meet many people, including the president of the National Union, Roger Farmers Johnson; Abby Ferris, NFU membership director; as well as a few fellow Michiganders including Bob Thompson, Michigan Farmers Union president, and Shelly Hartmann, a local blueberry farmer, “Every single person involved in the National Remi Huver represents Caledonia FFA in Washington.

Rural areas still pose a challenge for those trying to use the internet. Public notices belong in a public place, like a local newspaper, not on a govern­ ment website, which can also disenfranchise certain users, like low-income individuals who do not have access to the Internet, or some elderly peopie who may not be comfortable using the Internet. Having to look for notices on each individual govern­ ment site would be laborious at best - and a good way to conceal information at worst. We at Michigan newspa­ pers take the responsibility of keeping you informed very seriously - whether it be making sure Freedom of Information and Open Meetings laws are being fol­ lowed or proper notice of things like zoning that might put a landfill in your neigh­ borhood. We remain the vital watch­ dogs we always have been in our communities.

The disease claimed a fourth victim Wednesday. A Battle Creek resident died Wednesday morning from EEE, according to Brigette Reichenbaugh, deputy health officer for the Calhoun County Health Department. Nine human cases of EEE have been detected statewide - which includes four deaths — while 33 animal cases have been found. Barry County has had one human case and five animal cases of EEE so far. The five animal cases are the sec­ ond-most of any Michigan county, with only Kalamazoo V 111 4 /1 County (seven cases) having more, according to MDHHS. Barry Eaton District Health Department Health Officer Colette Scrimger told The Banner in an interview that the Barry County resident who contracted EEE is “showing signs of improve­ ment.” The following townships Barry County County received received inin Barry aerial spraying: spraying: Hope, Hope, aerial Prairieville, Baltimore, Prairieville, Barry, Johnstown, Assyria, and Maple Grove townships, On Friday, after observing the spread of the cases among humans and animals, MDHHS officials declared a public health emergency and strongly recommended aerial spraying to knock out mos­ quito populations in the affected counties. The state is picking up the cost, esti­ mated at between $1.5 mil­ lion and $1.8 million. On Tuesday, EEE and aerial spraying comman- deered much of the Barry commissioners' County Committee of the Whole meeting in Hastings. Scrimger told commis­ sioners that the reason EEE is a concern this year is the transfer of the disease to the human population. Every year, they see some level of activity, typically in animals within the area, she said, within the area, she said. “We've known that EEE is present in certain areas of Barry County where the mosquitos that are known to carry the disease are present. What’s unusual is to see it transfer over to the human population. It’s not as com­ mon for us to see that happen - and the rate that this has been happening this year is much higher, ‘Tn a typical year, you see about seven to eight cases in humans across the entire United States.

Main Published by J-Ad Graphics, Inc. • 1351 N. M-43 Highway, Hastings, Ml 49058 Karen Tiirko-Ebright Contributing Writer Changes could be on the horizon for the streetscape in the village of Middleville. After a lengthy discussion Oct. 8, the village council approved a development agreement between the vil­ lage and full-service general contractor, A.J. Veneklasen Inc. for the village-owned property at 112 E. Main St. At this time, the purchase price for the land is for $40,000. Village President Charles Pullen was absent from the meeting. The property sits between the village offices and Champs Bar and Grill. The proposal from Grand Rapidsbased A.J.

Assistant Village Manager Brian Urquhart said three request for qualifications forms were submitted to the amenities for an infill, or open space, development at the location. Midwest Construction Group and Third Coast Development submitted the other RFQs. In an effort to support village. The one submitted from Veneklasen was select­ ed, because its proposal aligned with the village scale, with proper density and design, Urquhart said. In addition, he said, Veneklasen met many of the business and activate growth in the downtown district, particularly on underutilized village-owned property, the village coordinated with the Redevelopment Ready Communities Sendees Team for possible projects. The current green space at 112 E. Main St. was identified as a priority location. The development agree­ ment has been sent to A J. Veneklasen for review, Urquhart said, and if no major changes are made, the development agreement can be authorized. Minor chang­ es can be authorized under the determination of Village Manager Duane Weeks, while major changes would prompt the development agreement to go before vil­ lage council again. Some of the requirements in the 13-page development agreement were outlined at 143rd year the meeting by Weeks. They included: -Obtaining zoning approv­ al and proper permits in order for the development to continue or the developers could back out of the agree­ ment, Weeks said. -Water and sewer are in place for the current site. If any additional improvements need to be made that would be the responsibility of the developer. -The amount of the property for the development pro­ posed at 112 E. Main St. will be determined after the green space area is surveyed to get a clear picture of how the footprint fits in to the area. -There could be a pathway, a green garden/rain garden area near the green space on the west side of the pro­ posed building See DEVELOPMENT, pg. 8 Caledonia residents appeal for relief of stormwater overflow Greg Chandler Staff Writer Some residents of a neighborhood Caledonia aren’t happy about the impact of a nearby residential devel­ opment under construction on their properties. Several residents spoke out at the village council meeting Monday about water overflowing a stormwater detention pond at the Hanover Townhomes devel­ opment at 245 Kinsey St., and questioning whether the project developer is living up to promises made when the council approved the project nearly two years ago. “In the last couple of weeks, we’ve gotten a lot of rain,” said Ben Howell, who lives just west of the devel- no2 >1 ibalsD If n3T£ 5fl £ lo namqo no 1/32 1B 1UO fii 13301 jlfrsvo ilnolsb IYOOSH narnqo up bflfi hsjoiq Knq ol bnuoo Xlissn nl“ r 2^33W i ".nun 4 aovil opment on 100th Street. “That [detention] pond is full, and my concern is if it goes east, it goes toward my neighbor's and floods them, if it goes west, it'll go to my house and flood me. “If they’re having trouble storing all the water, I feel they need to make a bigger [detention] pond.” Gerrianne Schuler of Schuler Farms, an organic farm on 100th Street, said some of the runoff from the 88-unit Hanover project has made its way onto her farm. She also said trash from the development has ended up on her property.

Wayne Harrell, the agency’s deputy managing director for engineering, said they think they have a solu­ tion. “We're looking at installa­ tion of a perforated pipe that would run along 100th Street, as opposed to an open ditch, Harrell said. The stormwater would run through the pipe to a county drain. However, the idea needs concurrence from the county drain commissioner, “The development has been a major disappointment.

The increase, brought about by Supervisor Michael1 Bremer, will mean the town­ ship is committing a total of $150,000, or 30 percent, toward the extension. Bremer said the grants are awarded on a points basis, points are given based on various factors. One of those factors is the amount of money the governmental entity is willing to commit to the project. “So essentially were buy­ jng jnto the grant,” Trustee Qurt Campbell said. The township currently has about 340 points out of a possible 500 toward the grant, Bremer said. Increasing No DDA funds will go into the series, and no decisions have been made as to which movies would be shown. It would depend on licensing fees, Lyke said. “The newer the movie, the more the license is. Whenever we get to that point where we start deciding which ones we’re going to license, we'll make sure it stays within that budget provided by the grant,” she said. Construction on the amphitheater is nearing completion, with the project expected to be finished by the end of the month. I (1 « f c t » « « 4 « 4 V the fund commitment would give the township an additional 10 points and improve the likelihood of receiving a grant. The money committed by the township does not have to be produced this year. “We can afford it,” Treasurer Deb Buckowing said. “We should do this because if we don't do it, we might end up regretting it.” The board of trustees also voted to approve the special assessment district for the Duncan Lake weed control special assessment district as well as the federal holidays for township office employ­ ees.

Township Trustee Dale Hermenet and Scott Post, an engineer from the firm of Prein and Newhof, proposed next steps for the system including a new path along Kraft Avenue that would go past Caledonia High School and connect to the Paul Henry Thomapple Trail, as well as two trail loop net­ works along well-traveled roads. The Kraft Avenue trail would run roughly 3 miles on the east side of the road from 76th Street to 100th Street, going past the high school, Duncan Lake Middle School and Emmons Lake Elementary. It would connect with the Paul Henry trail at around 92nd Street. That trail has an estimated cost of near­ ly $2.2 million, Hermenet said. Trustee Zoller Greg favored construction of the Kraft Avenue trail because it is in a high-traffic area. “This would alleviate a lot of congestion trouble and potential accidents with kids riding bikes,” Zoller said. “The roads are narrow and heavily traveled.” One of the proposed loops calls for trails on 68th and 84th streets from Cherry Valley Avenue to Alaska Avenue, as well as trails on Cherry Valley and Alaska between 68th and 84th. Constructing that loop would carry a price tag of nearly $7.7 million, Hermenet said. Another loop is also pro­ posed near Campau and Kettle lakes, connecting 66th and 76th streets with Whitneyville Avenue and McCords Avenue. Building that loop would cost a little more than $4.2 million, Hermenet said, Currently, there are about four miles of paved trails in the township, including the 2-mile-long Caledonia Trails project that was built over the summer. That trail was constructed from 84th Street and Cherry Valley south to 92th Street, then west past the Caledonia library and south past Emmons Lake to Lakeside Park in the village of Caledonia. The $1.52 milHon project was paid for by a nearly-even funding split between the township and a Michigan Department of Transportation grant. There are no immediate plans as to how the new trails would be paid for. Township Supervisor Bryan Harrison has floated the idea of a ded­ icated millage for non-motorized trails that would have to be approved by voters, but Township Treasurer/ Richard Administrator Robertson said some trails could be built without a mill­ age. “We do have the means within our general fund bud­ get surpluses, that we can borrow money without the 9 11 II •— $ 1 n Mia Dickman, Zoey Ziny, Thea Zellmer, Ellie Rogers, Cameron Phillips in front of the Sesquicentennial Pavilion in Middleville • < fa 9•1 •3 I & X3M P? ■IK ft® tlR- Hudson DeHaan, Chloe Powers, Lila Nelson Aiden Hannapel, Tyler Gehres, Colton Ward, Lani Forbes, Thea Zellmer, Zoey Ziny, Hunter DeHaan, Nick Vreeland, Mia Dickman, Owen Woods, Ellie Rogers, Cameron Phillips in front of the Middleville Village Hall.

Students sat for three hours near the former Second Hand Comers store in Hastings and at the Sesquicentennial Pavilion in Middleville. Some students stood on street corners holding signs and banners seeking donations. “It is not the most that has been raised before, but it is a pretty great amount," said Jillian Foster, a program officer at the community foundation and YAC advisor, Last year’s Roof Sit raised about $2,300, Foster said. Funds raised from this year’s event will go toward the Barry County United Way. “The students chose United Way [since it funds] youth programming and helps those emergent needs in the community," Foster said.

Robertson Grants were discussed as another possible funding option. Post said trails that could connect with the Paul Henryr trail would have a bet­ ter chance of gaining grant funding through the Grand Valley Metro Council, but would still likely be several years away. “Connectivity to regional trails is one of MDOT’s big­ gest things right now,” Post said. Trustee Tim Bradshaw said the plan provides the opportunity for a powerful conversation with regard to a potential trail millage. “This is what the commu­ nity has asked for, and I appreciate having it,” Bradshaw said. “We now can have a meaningful conversa­ tion.” The full list of trails out­ lined under the plan (with estimated costs) include: & • 66th Street from Whitnevville Whitneyville Avenue to McCords Avenue ($702,000) • 68th Street from Cherry’ Valley to Alaska ($917500) • 68th Street from Alaska to Whitneyville ($696500) • 76th Street from Patterson Avenue to Copper Corner Drive ($1207,000) • 76th Street from Whitneyville to McCords ($1524,000) • 84th Street from Cherry Valley to Alaska ($1,374,000) • Kraft Avenue from CalFlex to Plex to 76th Street ($2,198,000) • Cherry Valley from 84th Street to 68 th Street 68th ($2,371500) • Alaska Avenue from 84th to 68th streets ($2523.000) • Whitneyville from 76th to 66th streets ($858500) • McCords from 76th to 66th streets ($1,130.000) • Patterson from 76th to 84th streets ($1 561,000).

How can you make the best use of these funds? To begin with, here’s some background: When you turn 70 ‘A, you need to start withdrawals called required minimum distributions, or RMDs from your traditional IRA and your 401(k) or similar employer-sponsored retirement plan, such as a 457(b) or 403(b). (A Roth IRA is not subject to these rules; you can essentially keep your account intact for as long as you like.) You can take more than the RMD, but if you don’t take at least the minimum (which is based on your account balance and your life expectancy), you’ll enerally be taxed at 50% of the amount you should have taken - so don’t forget these withdrawals. Here, then, is the question: What should you do with the RMDs?

The office addition would include a separate entrance from the meeting room entrance, service windows for the clerk and treasurer, along with private offices for the supervisor, clerk, assessor and future zoning administrator. details Renovation include exterior masonry restoration, addition of a new exit door to the south side of the building, creation of a conference room, a wider ramp that would meet requirements under the Americans with Disabilities Act, a new heating and cooling system, a new closet that would house the township’s information and technology server ceiling-mounted monitors that would allow both the public and board members to see information presented from the podium at board meetings, The meeting room at the township hall was built in 1971 with offices added on four years later. 1 if Ki f-T- c In This Issue I Leaving cancer in their wake noinU ertf saiuriT The Delton Kellogg-Thornapple Kellogg-Hastings varsity girls’ swimming and diving team joins with the Wayland Union girls to form a ribbon in the pool following the conclusion of their annual cancer awareness meet, this year the Lydia Cole Cancer Awareness Event, at the Community Education and Recreation Center pool in Hastings Thursday.

Superintendent Dr. Dedrick Martin has met sev­ eral times with district resi­ dents in recent weeks for dialogue sessions to explain the proposal, a 1.8-mill Headlee-override measure that would restore the dis­ trict to its maximum 18-mill || ' i II w •XA against future Headlee rollbacks caused by economic growth. That proposal goes before voters Tuesday, Nov. 5. If approved, the levy would restore about $329,000 of revenue to the school district. This is not going to cost homeowners anything. This is essential to making sure we can continue to fund our core academic programming and all of our other [activities], whether it’s athletics, 46 Primary homeowners have their millage for dis­ trict operations capped at 6 mills under Proposal A, which was approved in 1994. Caledonia voters approved a five-year renewal of the 18-mill non-homestead tax in 2015, but because of Headlee roll­ backs, that rate has been reduced to 17.6399 mills for the current school year. Last November, district voters rejected a rollback proposal dollars is essential to leveraging state per-pupil dollars and providing CCS with the revenue needed to keep pace and educate students this year and for the future,” Martin said. In addition to the Headlee rollback measure, the dis­ trict would ask for a renewal of the non-homestead mill­ age next year. Overall, that levy generates about $9.3 million for for the the district district annuannumillion ally, Martin said.

The property at 215 Short St. has a house on it, but it is vacant and will be tom down as part of the project, Ruthig said. During a public hearing prior to the vote, resident Erinn Finlan asked commis­ sioners to consider measures to ease the transition between the co-op property and the residential neighborhood to the west. “We would love to see something that does definite­ ly have a fence and some landscaping, so we’re not looking looking at at these these massive massive buildings buildings and and all all the the equipequip­ ment ’s starting ment that that's starting to to encroach encroach on on the the area area right right now,"” said Finlan, who lives now, across from the Short Street parcel. “If that’s something that can happen, we would absolutely love that.” Ruthig noted that traffic is an issue in the area around the co-op, particularly around the feed department, which he says is area of biggest growth for the business, producing about 400 tons of feed a day. “If you put that in terms of 25-ton loads, we’re talking 16 truckloads of feed a day going out of there. Since we don't grow anything in Caledonia, all the ingredients have to be trucked in as well,” Ruthig said. “Coming and going, we're talking 32 trips a day somewhere in" and of Caledonia. We're pretty mindful of the traffic. We try to see what we can do [to minimize the impact on local traffic].” Caledonia Farmers Elevator marked its 100th anniversary in 2018.

CONTRACT, continued from page fall, all teachers in the district will transition to a newly developed salary schedule percent that includes a increase to fhe base salary, Teachers will receive a 05 percent pay increase for the 2021-22 school year, Martin said. The new salary schedule phases out additional pay­ ments based on years of ser­ vice while increasing perfor­ mance incentive pay from $45 to I percent of a teach­ er's annual salary. The new schedule also reduces the number of pay lanes, based on a teacher’s educational level. The new schedule will include one lane for teachers with bachelor’s degrees and two others for those with master's degrees, down from two lanes for those with bachelor s degrees and four for those with master's degrees, district finance director Sara DeVries said. In addition, concessions made by the CEA in planning time will help the district pursue plans to meet the needs of the district as it con­ tinues to grow. “We greatly appreciate our teachers’ willingness to remain professional during the negotiation process and reach a deal that allows us to honor their hard work, and also give us the resources to CELEBRATING 1 YEAR IN CALEDONIA reinvest in a number of dis­ trict priorities that must be addressed.” school board president Marcy White said. The agreement affects about 260 teachers in the Caledonia district. “Although the process took longer than expected, we feel the concessions made by the CEA are fairly offset by the compensation given by the district," said Tom Oster, the union’s lead nego­ tiator durin % the contract talks. “Caledonia has always been a great place to work, and we are proud to be a part of the strong educational tradition that Caledonia Community Schools rep­ resents." Final details of the con­ tract language are expected to be worked out over the next few days, but both sides said they are happy to have the negotiation process behind them, and they can now focus on working together for the benefit of the school district. Letters to the Editor Local Citizens Speak Out On Issues Vote ‘yes’ to support Caledonia :<i schools on Nov. 5 To the editor My family is proud to call Caledonia home because of Caledonia <Community Schools and its proven track record of success inside and outside the classroom. All of my children attend CCS, and I believe the education they are receiving is preparing them for college and success­ ful careers. That’s why I am proud to support the Community Caledonia Schools non-homestead mill­ age that will appear on the Tuesday, Nov. 5 ballot. I’ve heard some confusion in the community recently about the non-homestead millage, and I wanted to share wh* 1 ,h,nk " s 80 important for people to sup­ port the future of Caledonia Community Schools and our community by voting “yes" Nov. 5. The most important thing to remember is this is a non-homestead millage. This means that if it passes, it will not increase home or farm property taxes. The non-homestead millage only applies to rental properties, business properties and vaca­ tion homes - homeowner property taxes will not be Restoring the non-home- stead millage to its full amount this November is critical to receiving per-student slate funding this year and in the future. It’s up to us to stop the erosion of our operating millage and avoid a third consecutive year of lost funding. If we don’t, it will adversely affect the dis­ trict's ability to educate our kids and even require budget cuts to things that make CCS great, like the arts and athlet­ ics. I also hear people saying CCS should just use its fund balance, or “rainy day fund," to cover the loss in fundin that’s happened over the past couple of years. CCS cur­ rently maintains a responsi­ ble 15.8 percent fund bal­ ance. which meets Michigan School Business Officials’ recommendation of main­ taining a 15 to 20 percent fund balance to be prepared for a catastrophe or drastic state funding cuts that could impact our students and fam­ ilies. Dipping into that fund balance year after year is not sustainable and it means that we’re still going to be leav­ ing per-pupil dollars on the table at the state. We deserve our fair share. CCS is something we can all be proud of, and it's a well-run district. CCS has a 93 percent graduation rate 12 points higher than the state average. The district has consistently outpaced county wide graduation rates, and CCS students consistently score above the state and county wide averages on state assessments. Voting “yes” on the Caledonia Community Schools non-homestead mill­ age will make sure the dis­ trict can continue its tradition of excellence by providing the latest technology and career and technical educa—tion programs to prepare our kids for college and careers. CCS is one of the reasons why my family has stayed in Caledonia for 12 years. We re proud of the district's tradition of academic excel lence, which has continued to keep home and property val ues high while attracting new businesses, talent and fami­ lies to our community. I encourage Caledonia residents to join me in support ing the Caledonia Community Schools non-homestead mill age Nov. 5 because it’s an investment in our community. .£ 0#^ J J & * jt tati " 4» Kelly Herbert, Caledonia Yes on TK school request supports community To the editor: Since my wife, two daugh­ ters and I moved to Barry County almost four years ago, our experience with the Thomapple-Kcllogg school district has been absolutely amazing.

While market volatility is nothing new, the recent plunges happened during a period of general political and political and economic unease. Still, it can be harmful to overreact to such events - especially if it means making radical changes to your 401 (k). And yet, many people do just that. During market downturns, investors often move money from their 401(k)’s stock accounts into perceived safer accounts, such as those primarily containing bonds or other fixed-income securities. This move may result in reduced volatility on your 401(k) statements, and if that’s all you want, you might be satisfied. But you do need to realize the cost involved specifically, fixed-income investments will not provide the same rate of return that equities (stocks) can. So, if you liquidate some of your equity holdings, you may slow the growth potential of your 401(k), which, in turn, could slow your progress long-term your toward financial goals. Furthermore, if you get rid of substantial amounts of your equities when their price is down, you won’t be able to benefit from owning them when their value goes up again in other words, you’ll be on the sidelines during the next market rally, Here’s the key issue: A 401(k) or similar employer­ sponsored retirement plan is long-term investment a long-term account, whereas moves made in reaction to market drops are are designed to produce short-term short-term results, results. produce other words, words, these these types types InIn other of actions are essentially with the incompatible ultimate objective of your 401(k). Of course, when the market is volatile, you may want to do something with your 401(k), but, in most cases, you’re far better off by sticking with the mix investment mix that’s appropriate for your goals, risk tolerance and time this horizon. However, this doesn’t mean you should never adjust your 401(k)’s portfolio. In fact, you may well want to make some under changes under these circumstances: • You "re nearing retirement - If you are nearing retirement, you may need to prepare your 401(k) for future downturns - after all, you don’t want to have to start taking withdrawals when your portfolio is down.

Perhaps you plan to travel for several months of me year year or purcnase the purchase a vacation home in a different climate. These are expensive goals and may require you to invest somewhat aggressively in your 401 (k). But you could change your mind. If you were to scale back your plans - perhaps more volunteering, less traveling - you might be able to afford to “step off the gas” a little and invest somewhat somewhat more conservatively conservatively inin your 401 (k), though you will always need a reasonable Of ;growth­ percentage of oriented investments.

Clair Jansma and Maddie Shepard shared a spot in the line-up, with Jansma shooting a 97 Friday and Shepard scoring a 97 Saturday. “That is something we have had all year, year,"” Thornapple Kellogg head coach Bob Kaminski said. “We have just been a really consistent, deep team. We really have seven or eight players that are all pretty consistent around that score. They are all kind of close together. It has been awe­ some to have that, just because for us our one through five are kind of interchangeable score-wise. It makes for a lot of success that way.” Shepard matching Jansma, who was the Trojans number one much of the past couple seasons when health permitted, was just one of the ways the Trojan depth shone through over the course of the weekend. “It is so nice,” Jansma said. “Let’s say you have an off day, you know that the other girls are right there and they can pick you up. It takes a lot of pressure off of you to do well when the other girls are just as capable of doing well.” Jansma was in a cart early Saturday, following Shepard’s progress, after telling coach Kaminski that her back wouldn’t allow her to round. play Saturday’s Jansma also missed the Trojans’ regional tourna­ ment, with Shepard taking the spot in the team’s top Coach five.

Activities will begin at 9 a.m., starting from the Caledonia branch of the Kent District Library, 6260 92nd St. SE. Activities will include a trail walk and scavenger hunt, as well as live music.

Senate Bill 455 has not yet come up for a vote in the state House. It has been referred to the Committee on Commerce and Tourism, according to the Michigan Legislature website. Several statewide educa­ tion organizations have objected to the bill, including the Michigan Association of School Boards, Michigan Association of School Administrators and the Michigan Education Association, Martin said. The district has received $447,762 in tax revenue from the Switch facility so far. The amount that would be due under current state law by February 2020 for winter 2019 taxes is $165,325, rais­ ing the total in dispute to $613,087, DeVries said. The Senate bill was approved 27-11 Sept. 24. If it passes the House and is signed into law, Caledonia would lose at least $373,000 in tax revenue a year, and that potential loss could grow as large as $20 million if the company grows and meets its targets, development Superintendent Dr. Dedrick Martin said. “If this bill goes through, that would have an impact not only on Caledonia but an impact on districts all across the state,” Martin said.

October 26, 2019 I County OKs $17.8M general fund budget for 2020 Rebecca Pierce Editor Barry County will operate a $17.8 million general fund budget for caJendar year 2020 and levy taxes totaling 5.3504 mills, which is the maximum allowed after applying the Headlee rollback. Commissioners unanimously adopted the budget without comment Tuesday. T hat total is a slight increase over this year's $173 million amended general fund budget. The most significant source of revenue for the general fund is properly taxes, which are projected to increase 2.4 percent next year to just over $12 million. Most of the remainder of the county ’s revenue comes from licenses and permits, federal and state revenue sharing, charges for services in departments such as the courts and register of deeds office, rent, and interest and transfers from other funds, Expenditures in the budget are dedicated largely to contmuation of current services, County to according Michael Administrator Brown. During the budgeting pro­ cess this year, requests for funds from departments were $122 million more than proposed revenues, w ith personnel. health insurance and pen­ sion costs as the largest cost categories. Requests for 15 new posi­ tions and reclassification of existing positions totaled $504,883 for 2020, Brown said. Because of revenue constraints, none of these requests were recommended. After department appeals, the only revisions were the addition of a part-time clerk in the equalization depart­ ment. at .475 full-time equivalent. and an increase in hours and hourly pay for the parks and recreation part-time administrator (from .375 to .475 full-time equivalent) and from $15 an hour to $20 an hour. bargaining Collective agreements are in place in 2020 for all five unions: Barry County Courthouse Association.

The principal provisions of the amending ordinance are the following: Ordinance No. 19-03Z amends Section 4.2 so as to rezone the described lands from the R-2 Medium Density Single-Family District to the C-l Neighborhood Business District, upon the conditions offered by the zoning applicant including limiting the use to a historic banquet hall and in-house catering kitchen along with other conditions stated in Section 2 of the amending ordinance. The lands are located at 7449 68th Street S.E., and are legally described as follows: The East 17.0 feet of the South 165.0 feet of Lot 4, Block 5 of the Village of North Brownville. Also part of Lot 3, Block 5 of the Village of North Brownville: Beginning at the Southwest comer of said Lot thence North 198 feet; thence East 264 feet; thence South 48 feet; thence East 25 feet; thence South 150 feet; to the South Line of said Lot; thence West along said South line to the Beginning.

The Auction for the Arts includes live and silent auc­ tions, raffle prizes, photo opportunities, music and a costume contest, “This event is important because the money we raise there allows us to continue the work we do in the community,” Jeff Buehl, presi­ dent of the arts council board of directors, said. “We give away thousands of dollars every year in scholarships for students to go to summer camps for the arts. We also had a very successful pro­ gramming season with the City of Hastings with Hastings Live, which allowed us to help bring nearly 50 free live performances to downtown Hastings this summer.” The mission of the Thomapple Arts Council is enriching Barry County through cultural experiences, and the support the organiza­ tion receives at the auction helps make that happen. “The Thornapple Arts Council staff and volunteers work hard to make sure that arts are accessible to every­ one through our program­ ming," Buehl said. “We emphasize free and low-cost programming. We work with the community, and we part­ ner with other organizations to make arts programming successful in Barry County. We would not be able to do that without the financial support we get from our donors and sponsors." Lavell said the arts council has been fortunate to gel so much support from the com­ munity, including endow­ ment support through the Barry Community Foundation and the Baum Family Foundation; corpo­ rate support from Flexfab; sponsorship support from dozens of area businesses; and donations from individu­ als and families. “It is not an understate­ ment to say that we could not do the programming that we do without the continued generosity and support of the community,” Lavell said. Tickets are $40 each and include heavy hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar. For more information or to make reser­ vations, call 269-945-2002.

Middleton had a scoring many points and then going over 40 was huge," Dock said. “Those five guys guvs have been consistent all year in regards to working hard, being at practice, trying to get better. The message for the week was we need to find a way to play our best foot­ ball and finish on a high note. Finish on a positive with a win, but not just a win - execute at a high level like we're capable of because wfe have not done a good job of that the last few weeks. Having those five guys lead the way was awesome. TK quarterback Reece Garbrecht hit receiver Cole Shoobridge for a 16-yard touchdown pass midway through the third quarter to push TK's lead to 31-14, and Colton Vanloozenoord added a 38-yard touchdown run for TK late in the third. TK led 38-20 after three quarters and had the lead as large as Hood’s third TD. 45-20 after Hood's Bengal quarterback Scharai Horton threw two of his three touchdown passes in the final seven minutes to tighten the final score up a bit. He was 13-of-15 passing on the night for 219 yards. The Bengals didn't find any success on the ground, Horton led the team in rush­ ing with seven carries for 35 yards, Garbrecht was 3-of-4 passing for 32 yards and the one TD to Shoobridge, who also got a little time at quar­ terback Friday. Bonnema finished with nine rushes for 95 yards. TK had 11 different guys rush the football in the game, “Running the triple option is only good when you run the triple option. We were struggling reading it. The last three weeks I don’t think we pitched the ball very much, Within the first drive, we to « pitched the ball three or four times. When you can go read, read, pitch, just like the triple is supposed to happen, now the offense clicks. “Reese did a great job of reading it all the way through and getting it out when he needed to, and giving it when he needed to. Cole came in the second series, and he played some quarterback tonight too, and he did a nice job. All around, Reese had a great game finishing up his last 2019 game." TK had scored a total of seven points in the previous three contests combined. Ryan Holmes had a teamhigh eight tackles for TK. Middleton had six tackles, including one in the Bengal backfield.

Henkel shot a 78-75-153jto tie Traverse City Central’s Emlin Munch (77­ 76-153) for the runner-up spot. Anna Kaminski shot a 97-91-188 for TK, matched by the 95-93-188 by VanStee, the only junior in the Trojan line-up in a tie for 48th. Harmens scored a 99-93-192 for TK to place in a tie for 62nd in a field of more than 100 golfers. Kaminski said it was pretty exciting momentarily Saturday when the tournament scoreboard online showed the Trojans up to fourth place after the first couple holes. The Trojans were on an easier part of the course to open the day Saturday than some of the other top teams he admitted, but they were also playing really well. VanStee, the lone state finalist who can return for the Trojans next fall, opened Saturday with an eagle on the par-5 number 12. “She was in the rough from about 220 yards away,” Kaminski said. “She was not trying to go for the green. She was trying to lay up and just came out really well out of the rough. It just kind of hit a down slope and rolled right up onto the green. It looked from our point, like 200 yards away, like it almost rolled in. It ended up four feet from the hole. It was really exciting for her. She kind of felt bad because the group ahead of her was on the green. She was like, ‘I didn’t think I could hit it that far.’ She went eagle birdie, that was kind of a nice way for her to start.” VanStee also birdied the par-3 number 13. Anna Kaminski had pars on 11 and 13 with a birdie on number 12 to open the day Saturday too. Coach Kaminski was really pleased to see the community support for his girls leading up to the tournament, from the school send-off Thursday afternoon to the signs around town at Tires 2000, the village and more wishing them good luck.

The tentative agreement between Switch Inc., the school district and Kent Intermediate School District was announced Thursday. It would result in the tax tribu­ nal case being dismissed and that no taxes that have already been paid or are owed would have to be refunded, according to Chris Glass, director of legislative affairs for the Caledonia dis- trict and Kent ISD. The agreement is currently being reviewed by the dislegal trict’s counsel, Superintendent Dedrick Martin said Thursday. Secondly, a substitute bill was to be introduced in the state House Friday to replace legislation already passed by the state Senate that would expand state and local tax breaks for Switch, “(The substitute legisla­ tion) will require Switch to pay taxes on the real proper­ ty. Said differently: They are getting the personal property exempted," Glass said, In addition, the agreement states that, as long as Switch is in a renaissance zone, the real property tax value for the company will increase by 10 percent yearly, Glass said. “To the extent they build additional facilities, I would expect that real property value to naturally increase by 10 percent or more,” he said. “To the extent they are not increasing their footprint, that property - like all prop­ erty - is to be subject to Headlee (rollback) rate of inflation or 5 percent, what­ ever is less, and, in those years, there would be a sepa­ rate P1LT (payment in lieu of taxes) check or payment to the school districts based on the levy to make it 10 percent." The Caledonia school board on Oct. 21 voted unanimously to direct its legal counsel, Thrun Law Firm, P.C., to file a motion in the tax tribunal dispute with gee DISPUTE, page 2 TK receives good audit Karen Turko-Ebright Contributing Writer Kellogg Thornapple schools received a clean audit opinion for the year ending June 30. Certified public accoun­ tants with the firm of Maner, Costerisan, CPAs reported that school district revenues of $32.9 million exceeded expenditures of $32 million, with $913,342 remaining. The fiscal year ended with a general fund balance of near­ ly $3.8 million. “Everything really went phenomenal throughout the audit," CPA Jeff Straus told the school board at its Oct. 14 meeting. “That doesn't happen at every single school that we audit. It takes a lot of work.” Assistant Superintendent of Finance Craig McCarthy said conducting the school 44 audit is a team effort and the school and Straus worked on the audit report all summer. “I’m happy everybody was able to work so well together and do a nice job," McCarthy said. The majority of school revenues were from state funding of nearly $26.3 mil­ lion and $3.14 million in local sources, such as property taxes. The majority of expenditures were for instruction - totaling $20 million - and support ser­ vices - which added up to $11.54 million.

Karen Turko-Ebright Contributing Writer Thomapple Kellogg senior Kaylyn Beard was recently named a National Merit Scholarship Commended Student. The recognition is given to students who have shown exceptional academic prom­ ise demonstrated by their outstanding performance on the qualifying test.

A nod to those wonderful family vacations of yester­ year, “Leaving Iowa” focus­ es on a grown son, Don Browning, reflecting on his childhood and rekindling the love he has for his father. In the process 1 Browning remembers trips to hog farms, Amish fairs, and Civil War reenactments. He also learns that Grandma’s house is now a grocery store, the United States has two cen- ters, and wisdom can emerge from the most unlikely plac­ es. Browning is played by Jason Vandy Bogurt, with sensitivity and humor. His sister, played by Gracey Shira, demonstrates just the right amount of brattiness to be loveable. Mom and Dad are played by real-life married couple Walt and Brenda Reigler. Both experienced actors, their wrestling matches over maps, mile markers, and car horns will make audiences laugh and remind viewers of their own moms and dads. The 22 “characters” the family meets along the way are played by five talented actors.

The summit keynote focus is a presentation and panel discussion highlighting how the culture of a company or organization can be catalytic to its success and future pros­ perity. “It’s amazing how the landscape of economic development has shifted in recent years,” Travis Alden, president of the Barry County Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development Alliance, said in a press release. “Fifteen years ago, it was all about tax incentives and access to highways. Now it’s talent, placemaking and housing availability. Getting proactive on improving your company’s culture isn’t a luxury anymore, it’s essential.” As part of the scope of their annual retention and expansion visits with local employers, Alden and his team routinely receive feed­ back from companies about the challenge to attract and retain talent. “With such a low unem­ ployment rate, it’s really a ^buxeC^ market out there [when it comes to employ­ ment,” said Cindy 1 Vujea economic development coordinator atjhe Barry County a ■ f Michael McKeown, part­ EDA. “More and more, talent is attracted to organiza­ ner, and Ashley Lantinga at of culture director tions with a thriving workKraai and McKeown place culture.

If it you’re a young Millennial, perhaps yuung iviiiiciuuai, pcmapa just out of college, single, and living in*** an »*** apartment, ‘ life‘ insurance your need for may not be that great. After all, you may well have other, more pressing financial needs, such as paying off your student loans. But if you’re an older Millennial, and you’ve got a mortgage, a spouse and - especially then you children, need unauestionablv unquestionably insurance, because you’ve got alot to protect. How much do I need? Millennials who own life insurance have, on average, coverage, in coverage, $100,000 according to New York Life’s 2018 Life Insurance Gap Survey. But that same found that survey Millennials themselves reported they need coverage $450,000 worth about $450,000, leaving an insurance deficit of approximately $350,000. ’ gap," but That’' s a1 pretty big of course, these figures are averages and may not apply to your situation. Still, you should know how much insurance you require. You might have heard that you need life insurance worth about seven or eight times your annual salary. And while this isn’t a terrible estimate, it doesn’t apply to because everyone, because situationis is everyone everyone’sssituation A financial different. professional can look at various factors factors -- your various your age, age, your marital status, number of children, size of :mortgage, etc. - to help you ;amve at an appropriate level ofcoverage. Keep in mind, also, that your employer may offer life insurance as an employee benefit. However, it might be insurncient insufficient lor for your your oe needs, especially especiallyififyou you have needs, vouhave family,and andititwill willprobably probably aafamily, endififyou youleave leaveyour yourjob. job. end What type of life insurance should I get? Many people initially find life insurance to be confusing, but there are basically two types: term and permanent. As its name suggests, term insurance covers a given time period, such as 10 or 15 years, and provides only a death benefit. It’s generally quite sk affordable, especially when you’re young and healthy healthy, ’ Permanent insurance, on the other hand, offers a death benefit and a savings component that allows you Hi! to build cash value Consequently, the premiums are higher than those of term 1K insurance.

The immediate crisis is age-old storage space records that must be retained, thereby consuming most of the operational township board work space. I cannot imagine why the board in recent months and years has not located a safe and secure storage area in West Michigan to clear out these aged, but necessary, records, thereby freeing up space for the staff. As an example, 1 am aware that the gypsum mines in Northwest Grand Rapids offer these service which provide consistent humidity and temperatures. Many, many corporate firms, such as insurance, health and government agencies, use them. Get rid of that burden in the township building. The township board has been elected to provide us, the 1 residents, with management expertise in running the township on a day-to-day basis. However, the board has assumed responsibility for every aspect of our township government, including funding. Why? Because we have allowed it. There is something we, as residents, need from the board on this issue, and something the board needs from US. us. In corporate businesses, the financiers, owners, stockholders or taxpaying citizens need direction from the managers (board) on what is a priority this year, next, and often 10 or more years out simply for planning purposes, with trade-offs from high end to low end. That’s why business plans are developed. In turn, the board deserves to know, with some degree of certainty, what kind of funding will be available from us. In the case of this building renovation or addition or both, we have the tail wagging the dog. The board is dictating to the public what it must be furnished. It doesn’t work that way. I can only assume that is why Alice Jansma offered up that the township could swing a bank loan - thereby negating the need for a ballot/bond issue ;approved by the majority of voters. Not one single school system operates in that manner. Also, a bank loan is significantly more costly than a floated bond. Alice well knows this. The 3-2 township board will remain such for the near future and its members have learned that they can now steamroll any piece of legislation that they desire, Why? Because we have allowed it. I was greatly disappointed in the response of the three members regarding their justification of voting favorably for the plan presented Wednesday night, First, even after repeated questions, Janice Lippert had absolutely no comment. Alice Jansma offered only that she doesn’t want to wait another year. And Larry Knowles commented that something needs to be done now since this issue has been kicking around for more than 15 years. And this is the rationale we are being asked to cough up a million bucks for? It appears to me that our treasurer and our secretary are acting as mere puppets in the voting process. No business plan has been developed to support any part of this current building operation, including funding of more than $1 million. And yes, this is a business, nonprofit, but still a business, In my corporate life, I have created many a business plan and modified them, sometimes even semiannually. This is a necessity when profits are essential to business management. A business plan begins with -four -key words: - Features vs. and needs vs. wants, Ibenefits _______________ There is a cost associated with each one. I encourage Larry Knowles to aproceed with a citizens’ study group and the designer, then offer to the residents a three-step plan, For the most part, the first step is finished’ along with cost guidelines. A second step should halve the borrowing figures from perhaps $600,000' t0 L . $300,000, with the designer identifying which features, benefits, needs and wants must be eliminated. And the third option is what can be done without borrowing, simply by using the $323,000 in the general fun(j Along with this study, the treasurer should provide the best options available for money during this time frame, with various payoff options of five years, 10 years, etc. Too, the treasurer should identify what impact each option would have on < just as the school board is required to do. Lastly, I believe some people are beatin a dead horse by continuing to bring up the notion of adapting the fire* bam. That does not seem to be a popular theme with the public, nor is it with me. The general public then has choices to be made at the ballot box. And yes, that process would take another year, but would be fair to all parties. But, with clearing of the aged records, the staff should have meaningful additional space to function for a year. Yes, a year from now, let’s have voter approval, contract in hand, knowing what we are getting and about how much it will cost. Press on.

I looked at multiple homes in multiple school districts and made my ___ uncts final — decision based on the fact ^at CCS had a proven track record of producing highly successful students who roufinely outscore many of their ’ ” ’ ’ student colleagues throughout Michigan, Another reason I chose to move into the Caledonia area *s because of the sense of community we have. I grew UP a smaU town in ’ ’ ~• • and• the * one Northeast Ohio thing I loved most about my 'hometown .is that --I . always mY friends, neighbors an<^ community members were there to support my family_ whenever we needed it. As my daughter has grown anc^ made her way through the first few years of elementarY sch°°h the sense of values and camaraderie I loved so much from my hometown has presented itself in Caledonia. And a large part of that is due to CCS and the culture it creates. Tuesday, Nov. 5, our com­ munity has the chance to head to the polls and show our students, teachers and administrators that we sup­ port them by voting “yes” on the Caledonia Community Schools Non-Homestead Millage, Over the past year, you may have heard misinforma­ tion being spread about what this millage would do. Let me start by saying it will not raise home or farm property taxes. A non-homestead millage only applies to rental homes, business properties and vacation homes. It does not affect personal property taxes in any way. We must restore CCS’s non-homestead millage by voting “yes” Tuesday. We were the only district in Kent ~ . millage ... County to not pass its in last year’s election. Should the millage fail again, CCS will lose funding for a third consecutive year. Per-student state funding will be in jeopardy, not only this year, but in the future as well. Hard deci­ sions would have to be made and critical programs would have to be cut. These pro­ grams are what make Caledonia Community Schools flourish. They are the programs our kids learn valuable life lessons from and the programs that make Caledonia students competi­ tive when they must head out I into the world and find their way. Throughout my time in this community, I’ve often heard people refer to “Old Cal” vs. “New Cal.” A per­ son’s time in this community is irrelevant to the love and pride they feel for their school system. Tuesday, we have the chance to prove that we will join together and become one Caledonia - a Caledonia that will support its kids, teachers, and schools by ensuring CCS receives the proper funding needed to stay competitive and provide our children with the best education possible. Right now, Caledonia is a community that attracts new families and businesses to area That js of the district’s reputation for academic excellence. If this millage does not pass and CCS continues to lose vital funding, we risk our property values decreasing and a com­ munity no longer thriving. Please join me in investing in our kids, our teachers and our schools Tuesday, Nov. 5, and vote “yes” on the Caledonia Community Schools Non-Homestead Millage, Renee Edmondson, Alto 4?

A series of crimes - rang­ ing from felonious assaults to resisting and obstructing police - occurred June 21 in the wake of those two homi­ cides, according to police, who have reason to believe that Burnett, 63, of Plainwell, is culpable. Burnett had originally faced eight charges. Last Thursday, 27 more felony counts were added when he was arraigned before Judge Michael Schipper. Burnett has been in jail on a $10 million cash bond since he was charged with the shooting deaths of Gary L. Peake, 73, of Plainwell, and Bryce Nathan DeGood, 21, of Haslett, and with try­ ing to strangle his 59-yearold wife, Lynne Burnett. A forensic examination found him competent to stand trial. But the prosecu- tor said criminal responsibil­ ity had yet to be determined, so the Oct. 24 hearing was set. Before the hearing began, Burnett, in orange jail garb and shackled, was escorted into the courtroom and took a seat at the defendant’s table. He was wearing hearing aids attached to his head behind his ears. Schipper greeted Burnett as he entered the courtroom, but Burnett did not speak or verbally acknowledge that he could hear what was going on. “If you can’t hear me, then I can’t do this,” Schipper said to Burnett. “...He He doesn’t want to talk toto me, said to to me,”” the the judge judge said defense attorney Gordon Shane was sit sit-­ Shane McNeill, McNeill,who who was ting Can he he ting beside beside Burnett.

Earlier reports had indicated the $150 million facility at the southwest comer of 68th Street and Patterson Avenue in southern Kent County would open this fall, in time for the holiday season. Those plans have changed. “We remain committed to launching our new facility in Grand Rapids, providing 1,000 full-time jobs to the area, starting at $15/hour with comprehensive benefits from Day One,” Amazon spokesman Andre Woodson said. “The only thing that’s “They were already here, they were already building. They had made the decision to move into our township (before the local abatement request was filed). I feel in this case, it wasn’t warranted.” Laurie Lemke, Gaines Township Treasurer changed with our plans is the exact timing; it’s still to be determined.” The facility has been described by the Michigan Economic Development Corp, as a robotics location where items such as books, toys and electronics will be picked, packed and shipped. Little information has been offered on the project’s status since ground was broken at the 104-acre site in June 2018. Gaines Township signed a non-disclosure agreement with Amazon shortly before construction began so that township officials could not speak publicly about the project. We had to be very careful with what we say,” township Supervisor Rob DeWard said. The township fulfillment center will be the fourth such Amazon facility in Michigan, and the first outside the Detroit area. The other ful­ fillment centers are in Livonia, Romulus and Shelby ll See AMAZON, page 3 Circle K fueling up for new gas station on M-37 Greg Chandler Staff Writer A new Circle K gas station and convenience store will soon be built at the southwest comer of 68tb Street and M-37. The Caledonia Township Planning Commission unanimously Monday approved a site plan and spe­ cial land use for the property at 6851 Broadmoor Ave. SE. The 5,200-square-foot store will be open around the clock and employ about 25-30 workers. It will be the third Circle K store in the Grand Rapids metro area, company representative Roger DeHoek said. The property will also include 16 gas pumps and 23 customer parking spaces. It will also include a semi-truck canopy with three diesel fueling stations and seven Karen Turko-Ebright and Greg Chandler Contributing Writer and Staff Writer Voters in the Thomapple Kellogg school district Tuesday overwhelmingly passed a $42.8 million dollar bond issue, while in the Caledonia Community Schools, voters easily passed a Headlee override measure that fully restores the dis­ trict's 18-mill levy on busi­ nesses, rental properties and vacation homes. TK voters passed a 25-year, no-mill increase school improvement bond with 68 percent of the total vote - 1,836 yes votes to 853 no. The Caledonia 1.8-mill non-homestead Headlee override request passed with 3,419 yes votes to 1,729 no votes. “The passage of our bond proposal is a tremendous boost to the school district. 1 want to thank our community for their continued support of our amazing school district,” Superintendent Rob Blitchok said. “1 also want to thank the TK Board of Education and the bond campaign commit­ tee for their leadership and vision in the formation and success of the bond request. 1 am humbled to be the super­ intendent of TK Schools. “I’m pleased the voters supported the proposal.

Amazon received an occu­ pancy permit from Gaines Township for the fulfillment center in June, about a year after breaking ground. The company has a pending application for a second occupancy permit tied to some work that is being done inside the facility, according to John Stuyfzand, the town­ ship’s building inspector. “There were some convey­ or systems and internal sys­ tems that they were working on,” Stuyfzand said, “I believe they're pretty close to being finished. Woodson said that factors such as customer demand and available workforce will enter in to the decision as to when Amazon will open the Gaines Township facility. “We are a dynamic busi­ ness and have dozens of ful­ fillment centers, sortation centers and delivery stations that are evolving and under construction across the coun­ try,” he said. “It’s common for us to adjust launch time­ tables based on capacity needs across the network. 1 * 7 Antenna Men Digital TV Antennas Ceil Phone Boosters 517.646.0439 TV ANTENNA & TOWER INSTALLATION, REPAIR & “We had to be very careful with what we say.” I Rob DeWard, Gaines township Supervisor For this reason, we keep our launch dates flexible to account for shifts in sched­ ules.” State and local officials approved several tax incen­ tives to help lure Amazon to West Michigan. For example, the MEDC in May 2018 approved a $4 million Michigan Business Performance grant to Amazon to help pay for con­ struction of the fulfillment center. At the time of the award, the company had to create at least 475 jobs by August of this year. To date, none of those funds have been allocated to Amazon, MEDC spokeswoman Kathy Achterberg said. At the local level, an industrial development dis­ trict for the property was approved in August 2018 on a 5-2 vote of the Gaines Township board. Two months later, the board approved a local tax abatement that reduces the company’s local - k aa l V I Middleville brothers celebrate Air Force promotion together property and school taxes by 50 percent over the next 12 years by a similar vote. Township Treasurer Laurie Lemke was one of the two no votes, along with Trustee Dan Fryling. “They were already here. they were already building," Lemke said. “They had made the decision to move into our township (before the local abatement request was filed). I feel in this case, it wasn t warranted.” The tax abatement goes into effect next year. The township board also approved a six-year, 50 percent personal property tax abatement that covers equipment inside the fulfillment center, such as the conveyor systems, Lemke said. The Right Place, an economic development organization that serves the Grand Rapids metro area, assisted in helping bring Amazon to the Gaines Township location. Industrial Seefried Properties Inc., of Atlanta, is the developer handling construction of the Amazon facility. The Village Players of Middleville present...

An ice cream sundae doesn’t hurt though. The Thomapple Kellogg varsity volleyball team opened its Division 1 district tournament with a 25-8, 25-9, 25-9 win over visiting Ottawa Hills Tuesday in Middleville and a little ice cream social will be in the works thanks to the team’s improved serving against the Bengals. “We made our serves tonight. That was helpful,” TK head coach Tia Cross said. “The girls are very curious on what our serving stats are going to be, because they know they had a good night tonight, and they’ll get a reward if we have a good night. It was a good night for our serves. This is what we need going into districts.” The TK ladies put 90.4 percent of their serves in play - meeting coach Cross’ 90 percent goal. TK had 26 aces as a team, with Julia Cutis leading the way with seven, Claudia Wilkinson hitting six, Claudia Lems five and Chloe Teachout four. Curtis had those seven aces without a single service error. “I think it is just like a different approach to help our team,” Wilkinson, one of four Trojan seniors, said of the sweet rewards from coach Cross. “For some reason our team really loves candy,” she added with a smile growing on her face. “Chloe Teachout really loves getting candy (for meeting goals). Against Grand Rapids Christian we used that a lot. Personally, that is not my motivation, but it’s a good perk. I think it s a good idea.” TK was back in action Thursday in the district semi­ finals at East Grand Rapids High School, falling in three sets to the same East Kentwood team that knocked off the Caledonia girls in their district opener in Kentwood Tuesday .will head to East Grand Rapids tonight (Nov. 7) to take on East Kentwood in the Division 1 District Semifinals. The Falcons bested the Caledonia girls in their district opener Tuesday in Kentwood. The Falcons are slated to take on Byron Center in the Division 1 District Final at EGR today (Nov. 9) at 11 a.m. The Trojans did more than just serve well against Ottawa Hills in their final contest on their home court this season Tuesday. “We had great passing tonight, which makes our offense run a lot better when we can get that first touch up to our setter and do what we’re supposed to,” coach Cross said. “I was a little worried with practice this week, and our focus, if we were going to come in firing tonight. They did,” Cross added. “They put my worries to rest tonight. We were just able to kind of enjoy it and have a little fun.” Wilkinson tied junior Ellie Shoobridge for the team lead in kills with seven each. Teachout had four kills. Shoobridge had a team-high two blocks. Claudia Lems had 11 assists and Adrienne Duits six as the Trojans’ two junior setters. Duits and Shoobridge added two aces each.

According to school officials, the number of stu­ dents enrolled last year in the district was 3,159, but the projection is 3,170 students. School officials said based on information and feedback from the community, along with enrollment projections, it was determined that more classroom space and the abil­ ity to maintain the school district’s infrastructure was needed in the facilities. Blitchok said he believes the bond passed for two rea­ sons: “The issues we are fac­ ing were communicated clearly and the community trusts the board of education and district administration to do what is right for the dis­ trict.” Assistant Superintendent of Finance Craig McCarthy said although enrollment has been increasing at TK schools, the biggest capacity pinches have been at the ele­ mentary level. “I’m not sur­ prised,” McCarthy said of the passing of the bond pro­ posal. He said the public has been there through the whole campaign process. Now that the bond has been approved the district will be allowed to expand, remodel and re-quip existing facilities and install new technology that is needed, improve athletic facilities, add music and art rooms, buy new school buses and improve school playgrounds. Besides meeting the growth needs of the district, basic infrastructure needs are on the list and add up to roughly $14.82 million. That cost will cover new roofs, replacement of an emergency generator, doors, windows and flooring as needed, along navins and with new paving enhanced parking lot designs, Other basic needs of the district besides roofs includes new ceilings, floors, doors, windows, tables, clocks, pav­ ing and parking lot improvements. Hamming said the whole bond proposal campaign was a very positive experience. “The community helped us and they carried it through for us at the voting booth,” she said. “The top priorities have been the classroom edi­ tions to our elementary schools to address our space crunch, School officials said con­ struction will start with meet­ ing the most critical needs of the district. “We will work with our board of education and a construction committee, which includes our archi­ tect and construction man­ agement firms, to plan and design all of the components of our plan,” Blitchok said, In the Caledonia Community Schools, voters Tuesday approved a Headlee override measure that the district’s restores non-homestead tax levy to its maximum allotted 18 mills by roughly a 2-to-l margin. A year ago, voters defeated a similar Headlee override measure by 340 votes,5,7905,450. “We want to thank the vot­ ers of our district for support­ ing this proposal,” Caledonia Dedrick Superintendent Martin said. “Our school community is growing and to accommodate this growth, we needed to restore the millage rate to the same lev­ els that we have utilized to support school operations for 24 years.” The non-homestead levy, 99 which accounts for nearly a third of the district’s per-student revenue, applies to busi­ nesses, rental properties and vacation homes. It does not apply to homeowners or agri­ cultural properties. “This 1.8 mills restores us up to the 18 mills and pro­ vides a buffer for future years in the event we experience another Headlee Amendment reduction,” district finance director Sara DeVries said. The Headlee rollback is estimated to generate an additional $329,000 of tax revenue for the Caledonia district for the 2020-21 school year. Millage funds will help support day-to-day functions of the school district and security enhancements at buildings and facilities, updated instructional materials and more financial support for music program­ ming and athletics. ♦ The 18-mill non-homestead levy had passed in 2015, but that tax had been reduced by Headlee rollbacks to 17.6399 mills for the current school year. Restoring the full millage will allow the district to leverage state per-pupil fund­ ing and help the district avoid a third consecutive year of lost funding, Martin said. “Caledonia Community Schools has a proven track record of success,” Caledonia school board president Marcy White said. “The pas­ sage of this millage means we can keep pace with best practices in school safety and better prepare our students for college and careers.” The district is expected next year to ask for a renewal of the full non-homestead levy, which generates about $9.3 million dollars in reve­ nue for the schools. The Caledonia district includes Caledonia Township as well as portions of Bowne, Cascade, Gaines and Lowell townships in Kent County. It also includes portions of Thornapple Township in Barry County and Leighton Township of Allegan County. 99 ’»«* 3 I I*1* ( 131985 Of I* * r*1 0’ ■ cr fit i i ^4# ■ to i FOUNDED » kf' k ’# NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Please be advised the Village of Middleville PLANNING COMMISSION will hold a PUBLIC HEARING on December 3,2019 at 7:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as possible to consider an application for REZONING of property located east of Grand Rapids St. and north of Lafayette Street (the portion of land is located on parcel #08-41-023-69000).

On Tuesday night, she and 46 other sing­ ers that make up the choir performed in public for the first time, singing the gos­ pel-inspired piece “River in Judea’ during the Duncan Lake Middle School fall choir concert. The perfor­ mance drew a rousing ova­ tion from the audience at the Duncan l^akc Performing Arts Center. “I have a lot of memories in that auditorium, on that stage.” director Carol Gess said. For 23 years. Gess was vocal music director for Caledonia High School, with most of those years directing choirs at the current Duncan Lake location when it was the high school. Nine years after retirement, she is back directing some of her former students. Kelly Martin, a 1995 CHS graduate, is one of those stu dents. At CHS, she was involved in all the choirs and school musicals, and got to sing with the state honors choir. It didn’t take much convincing for her to join the new choir.

The choir will sing a holiday piece on its own, and then join the CHS choirs in a rendition of the carol “O Holy Night.” Gess said.

On a 3-2 vote Thursday, the township board approved spending $95,500 to have the engineering firm Fleis and VandenBrink provide design development services, con­ struction documents and bid documents for the project at the township hall at 284 N. Briggs Road. Residents who attended the meeting used words like “shameful” to describe the board’s action, saying this project is proceeding with little or no public input. “I find it appalling that you pushed this plan through; that a million dollars of tax­ payer money [will go to this project]. It should be brought to the public,” said Linda Thomas, who has lived in the township for 28 years. “That is ridiculous.

Are we funding this thing out of the general fund balance or borrow it over 20 years?” Englerth asked. “Does the public want a vote at the table? Have we exer­ cised all our options? Is it the right thing to do?” “There were plenty of options presented. As a matter of fact, they did consider the fire barn (on M-179), but the engineer plainly said it won’t hold it... They’re clearly saying there’s not enough room to put this size of building over there to fit parking. We then looked at a few different options of how to renovate this building. n “We need some more time. We haven’t even discussed how we’re going to pay for it.” Trustee Larry Knowles disservice to your [board].” The vote came one night after the board held a special meeting to look at options for the township hall that included renovation work at the current site as well as the feasibility of building a new township hall next to the fire station on M-179. At the start of Thursday’s meeting, trustee Larry Knowles made the motion to the Fleis and have VandenBrink proposal added to the agenda, Knowles, who served on a renovation committee that, last month, had recommend­ ed improvements to the hall, was joined in the 3-2 majori1 ty vote by Clerk Jan Lippert and Treasurer Alice Jansma. Supervisor Mark Englerth Trustee and Shanon Vandenberg voted no. “We need some more time,” Vandenberg said. “We haven’t even discussed how we’re going to pay for it. “We’re going to give a corporation a go-ahead, and we haven’t even discussed how we’re going oing to pay the bill.” Englerth said that, considconsid­ ering the potential cost of the project, “it deserves a better discussion than we’re givin it.” “What do the taxpayers want? What does the public Trustee Shanon Vandenberg ■ Knowles defended the renovation committee rec­ ommendation, saying it was given due diligence. “There were plenty of options presented. As a mat­ ter of fact, they did consider the fire bam [on M-179], but This is a preliminary floor plan for the Yankee Springs the engineer plainly said it Township Hall renovation and expansion project. It won’t hold it,” he said. “If includes the meeting room as well as township offices.

The move would save the village about $89,000, cut­ ting the estimated project $243,227, cost to Department of Public Works Director Alec Belson said. The council authorized Williams and Works, its engineering consulting firm, to prepare bid documents for the project. About two-thirds of the project cost would come from the local development financing authority, which receives its funding from captured tax dollars from local industries, while the village would pick up the remainder of the cost, Village Manager Duane Weeks said. Belson told council mem­ bers East Main Street is in need of resurfacing and san­ itary sewer repairs. During the completion of the upgrades, there will be a need for concrete curb on JI □nuoD | roiqmi p JOZJI Jo gniisn i abiw rtiuoz bslqsi 18 abiv/ 3g£lHV fi gni) jlooxiG oriT uilliW tenigno ad: io! jodA 135|Oiq d: moil nonsnft aviaoai awiqso li IeooI agfill i v •nusmai agsIIiV > c/ijjW )ela Published by J-Ad Graphics, Inc. • 1351 N.

Belson told the council that there would be a need for additional retaining walls if the bike path were to be installed. The change did not come without some concerns expressed by council mem­ bers. “I’m a little disappointed that there is not a bike path - that’s just fine overall,” trustee Phil Van Noord said, “But have you considered putting five foot on the other side? Then the bike path goes one way and the other way.” Belson said that there is a 5-foot-wide sidewalk on the north side of the road already, and “we would be putting 5-foot [sidewalk] on the south side of the road where there is currently no sidewalk whatsoever.” Van Noord pointed out that part of the sidewalk on the north side of the road is in bad shape. “We would be updating sections of that sidewalk and replacing sections of the sidewalk that need to be updated and repaired,” Belson replied. Van Noord said that he would have liked to have seen a 10-foot sidewalk to include a bike path. But Belson said the staff recom­ mended the sidewalk to save $89,000. “I just want to go on record saying for the whole village of Middleville, I'd like to see more walkability all around or biking or something,” Belson said, adding that's what he’s observed in other villages. “That’s one of the main reasons why we’re going with the 5-foot sidewalk on the south side right in front of the Catholic church- you'd be able to walk on the side­ walk.” After the village board agreed with staff recom­ mendations to have engi­ neers prepare bids for the project, Weeks pointed out that the project could only move forward with finan­ cial support from the local finance development authority. If that happens, the project is expected to be completed next year during the 2020 construction sea­ son. Weeks said if the LDFA would not approve supporting the project, staff would offer an alternative price to the board after it is clear that additional village dollars would be needed for the project, > • « ■ a r. . » t X 1 X ♦ * । ¥ t 1 I » » » > I X I t I 1 k I I X » , ' » * \ ♦ tional environment and expe­ rience for all students” Martin said. “The (board) is also striv­ ing to ensure that our district has the necessary resources to increase funding support to a number of district initiatives identified in the strate­ gic plan and address several deferred facility and mainte­ nance items.” The previous contract • Caledonia schools seeking community input on STEM program • Caledonia Twp. planners sign off on revised Snow Valley project • Trojans finally break through to state finals • • Scots’ Ferriell shoots her way to spot in D1 Finals Y \ » I I । । । t ft > i ♦ ♦ i * » । » V I I t X X X x 1 ¥ > » • « । » j > * » I r I % ♦ • * X CEA expired Aug.

Negotiations on a new agreement begin in April, but, on June 25, the union requested that a state mediator join the talks. Staff Writer Nearly two months into the 2019-20 school year, about 260 teachers in Caledonia are still without a new contract. And the gap between the district's Board of Education and the Caledonia Education Association appears to be growing, not narrowing, dis­ trict officials say. On Tuesday, the school board presented the union with what Superintendent Dedrick Martin called its “last, best and final offer.” Martin said, if it’s accept­ ed, the proposal would result in the following: • Caledonia’s most experi­ enced teachers would receive the highest salary among Kent County school districts; • First-time teachers join­ ing the district for the 2020­ 21 school year would receive the second-highest starting salary among the 20 districts in the county; • Teachers in between would continue to receive what district officials call “a highly competitive wage in comparison with other sur­ rounding school districts.” “The BOE has shown its desire to find the right bal­ ance of having a well-com­ pensated teaching staff and investing in other areas to ensure a high-quality educa- t I I I l x * X I X • 1 Y. > I 4 �♦ i I ♦ Page 2/The Sun and News, Saturday, October 12, 2019 DESIGN, continued from page Middleville Fall Festival is today Middleville DDA Director along with teen/adult catego­ Nichole Lyke said. “Each ry, a family category and person will get a set of four even one for pets. tickets so that they can vote The petting zoo will fea­ for one pumpkin in each cat­ ture rabbits from Happy egory.” Hares 4-H Club, and alpacas Age-group categories for and a baby donkey from the contest include kids 10 Duncan Creek Farm.

They’re clearly saying there’s not enough room to put this size of building over there to fit parking. We then looked at a few different options of how to renovate this building.” Under conceptual plans presented by Fleis and VandenBrink to the board Wednesday, the project would renovate the nearly 4,000-square-foot existing building, including the meet­ ing room and offices, and build a 1,727-square-foot addition to the north, at an estimated cost of $898,500. “We were asked to take a look at doing an addition to this building and some improvements to upgrade it and make it function a lot better for the staff,” David Gibbs, an architect for Fleis and VandenBrink, said during that presentation Wednesday. The renovation would include exterior masonry res­ toration, addition of a new exit door to the south side of the building, creation of a conference room, a wider music, pool games, a cannon ball contest, fun swim relays, a Chuck-A-Duck raffle, a dark swim, water volleyball and dozens, and dozens and dozens of beach balls.

The crash occurred about 5:45 p.m. at Whitneyville Avenue and 76th Street. A 53-year-old Clarksville man was driving southbound on Whitneyville when he stopped at 76th to make a left turn, then turned into the path of a northbound vehicle driven by a 24-year-old Grand Rapids man. The two vehicles collided, causing the northbound car to rest on its side, Sgt. Joel Roon of the Sheriff’s Kent County Department said. Three people were trapped inside the northbound vehicle until responding fire units arrived to free them.

Jennifer Duimstra, whose house will be just south of the entrance to the development, said she is concerned about the additional traffic on Snow Avenue. “I honestly don't think that road can maintain the amount of traffic that is going to be involved [there]. We already have issues with our road," said Duimstra, a mother of three. “It’s the last road that gets plowed in the winter ... it is not maintained well at all. We're on the bottom of the priority list, and to add an additional 60 cars - I don't understand.” But in a memo to the planning commission, Wells indicated no such concerns. “We have received a letter from the Kent County Road Commission indicating that they do not anticipate any issues with Snow Avenue, and that Snow Avenue Avenue isis ableable to accommodate accommodate this development," Wells wrote in the memo.

Ilasefi on the book Can This Be Christmas? by Debbie Macomber) i State and Highway Transportation Officials.” The road right of way is typically 66 feet wide, or 33 feet in each direction from the centerline of the road. The right of way is maintained by the Barry County Road Commission and is used for residential and pub­ lic utility purposes. Over time, a mailbox post may rot or become wobbly. By grabbing and shaking it, a resident can know if it's secure. Snow coming off a plow going 35 miles per hour has surprising force that can topple a wobbly mailbox, Welch said. And digging a mailbox out and reinstallin it in frozen ground is no pic­ nic. “Our No. 1 job is to main­ tain a safe and efficient road and right-of-way system,” Welch said. “It is a resident's responsibility to ensure his or her mailbox is secure.” The Barry County Road Commission has policies in place regarding replacement of mailboxes that have been hit by a snowplow. However, road agencies are not respon­ sible for mailbox damage caused by standard snow removal operations, Welch said. Residents should prepare mailboxes for winter by tightening screws and ensur­ ing the post and box are secure enough to endure large amounts of snow bein;a thrown. If the mailbox moves when shaken, it may need to be repaired or replaced before winter.

Two minutes later, with 22:57 to go in the game, Ruth blasted a punt that Hannapel flicked ahead. Gehres beat the Hawkeye keeper to the rolling ball and put it into the net. That was more action than Ruth saw at the other end most of the evening. He only had three or four saves in the contest. The Trojans didn’t miss a beat with head coach David Wood unable to attend Thursday night’s contest. JV “It was going good. We had a rough bump before this and I was like I don’t know how we’re going to do,” Ruth said after the district win. “We ended up pulling through and showing who we are.” He said he had a tremen­ dous amount of trust in his teammates in front of him during the district win.

In fact, it may be a good idea to take some of these steps sooner ra ther than later _____________ Here ’ Here a few suggestions: 401(k) • Boost your contributions. Like many people, you might not the usually contribute maximum amount to your 401(k), which, in 2019 is $19,000, or $25,000 if you’re 50 or older. Ask your employer if you can increase your 40 l(k) contributions in 2019, and if you receive a bonus before the year ends, you may be able to use that toward your 401 (k), too. • Add to your IRA. You have until April 15, 2020, to contribute to your IRA for the 2019 tax year, but the more you can put in now and over the next few months, the less you’ll have to come up with in a hurry at the filing deadline. For 2019, you can put up to $6,000 in your IRA, or $7,000 if you’re 50 or older. • Review your portfolio, It’s always a good idea to review your investment portfolio at least once a year, I*—- h* I and now is as good a time as any. But don’t make any judgments based solely on your results over the past 10 months. Instead, look look vour carefully at how your portfolio is constructed. Is it still properly diversified, or has it become overweighted in some areas? Does it still fit your risk tolerance, or do you find yourself worrying excessively about short-term price swings? These are the types of factors that might lead you to make some changes, possibly with the of a financial help professional, • Don 't forget about your RMDs. Once you turn 70/2, you generally need to start taking withdrawals - the technical term is “required minimum distributions,” or RMDs from your traditional IRA and your 40 l(k) or similar plan. After the first year in which you take these RMDs, you must take them by the end of each year thereafter. If you don’t withdraw at at least least the withdraw minimum minimum amount (calculated based on your age, account balance and other factors) you face a penalty of 50% of what you should have taken out - a potential loss of thousands of dollars. So, take your RMDs before Dec. 31. The financial services provider that administers your IRA or 401(k) 401(k) can can help help you determine the amount you must withdraw. • Think about next year s opportunities. It happens to almost all of us: A year has passed, and we haven’t taken the actions we had planned. So, start thinking now about what you want to do in 2020 from a financial standpoint, Can you afford to ratchet up your investments in your retirement plans? If you have children or grandchildren, have you started saving for college? Have you considered ways to protect your financial independence if you ever need some type of long-term care, such as an extended nursing home stay? If these or other items are on your financial to-do list, start planning now to get them done next year, Time goes quickly - so don’t get left behind without having taken the steps to keep moving toward your financial goals.

The Buccaneers pulled off a big block of their own, blocking the extra-point kick following the Scots’ special teams touchdown to keep the game even at 27-27. Grand Haven finally broke the deadlock with a nineyard touchdown run by Connor Worthington with 2:08 to play.

The Buccaneers took the lead away in the second quarter, with drives ending in a two-yard touchdown run by Alex Kapala and a three-yard touchdown run by Worthington. Vanderhoff erased that 14-7 Buccaneer lead with a o/-yara 57-yard toucnaown touchdown run moments after Worthington’s go-ahead touchdown in the second quarter. The Buccaneers stole the lead back with a ten-yard touchdown run by Austin Broemer late in the first half and then added to it as eight­ Broemer scored on an eightyard run early in the second half.

The Middleville village planning commission Nov. 6 unanimously approved a spe­ cial-use site plan for the proj­ ect at 200 Lafayette St. The site plan would allow the water heater manufacturer to build a structure taller than the village normally allows for buildings in the 1-2 heavy-industrial zone. Company officials said they plan to build a steel receiving facility on site with a building height reaching about 67 feet. 8 inches, with a proposed stair tower of 76 feet, 8 inches. Under 1-2 zon­ ing regulations, the maxi­ mum allowable height for a building is 45 feet. This is precedent being set for this building height to be approved as a special land use,” Planning and Zonin, Administrator Brian Urquhart said. “The No. 1 concern is obviously when the building height increases, are the pub­ lic services going to be sup­ portive of that — fire protec­ tion.” Urquhart said the issue has to be reviewed and approved by the fire chief, and other standards and conditions must be met, as well. He added that Bradford White is a very established land use.

In addition, the council approved spending $6,900 for software for maintaining the village's geographic information system.

Village Manager Duane Weeks had recom­ mended leasing the new device because the current plotter, which was housed in Lh building from 2015 to 2018 " and is now at the village hall, is experiencingo “substantial operational problems.” Cramer recommended waiting on a decision because of a pending acquisition offer of Hewlett Packard by Xerox Inc. The company has received an offer of more than $30 billion to merge HP and Xerox into a single com­ pany. “Usually when that hap­ pens in the industry, [Xerox willj “end of life’ all prod­ ucts that they bought so they can sell their own,” Cramer said. “What we're looking at ot this product, it's probably not going to have [replace­ ment] parts for more than a year after they buy it. and then we're stuck in the same boat with a printer that kinda, sorta works.” The village had considered leasing a plotter for 36 months at $215 per month or 48 months at $170 per month, plus printing costs of 30 cents per square foot. Cramer said he had spoken to Applied Imaging, a Grand Rapidsbased company, which has a similar product available through Canon that can be leased at $165 a month. Weeks is expected to report back to the council with a recommendation next month. In other action. Weeks reported that six contractors submitted bids Tuesday for construction of the East Bank restrooms that would be con­ structed just north of the Sesquicentennial Pavilion and east of the new amphi­ theater. He said bids for the project range from $169,000 to $269,000 - well above the $116,900 engineering estimate from Williams and Works.

As an investor, you are trying to meet some personal goals, such as an enjoyable retirement lifestyle, but you, too, are acting with a sense of duty in some ways, because vou’re you also investing to help your family. There are the obvious oals, like sending children to college or helping them start a business, but you're also making their lives easier by maintaining your financial independence throughout your life, freein them of potential financial burdens.

But have you ever stopped to think about what lessons our veterans can teach us about how we conduct various aspects of our lives? For consider example, the following traits and how they might apply to your actions as an investor: • Perseverance ~ Even veterans who have not served in armed combat have had to persevere in challenging situations. The military life is not an easy one, as it often involves frequent moves, living in foreign countries, time away from loved ones, and so on. As an investor, in what ways do you need to show perseverance? For one thing, you'll need to stick it out even in the face of volatile markets and short-term losses. And you’ll need the discipline to make investing a top priority throughout your life, even with all the other financial demands you face. • Willingness to learn and adapt - During the course of their service, military service. veterans frequently need to learn new skills for their deployments.

During Monday’s meeting, Eaton said the new gear will allow for the department to put away some of the older turnout gear gear and and use use them them as as turnout spares. Eaton said he hopes to get into a routine where the township will purchase six to eight new sets of turnout gear a year. If all the gear was bought and replaced at the same time, it also would get old and expire at the same time, which is the current situation, In other action, the board voted to raise the hourly pay rates for two township employees who, according to treasurer Debra Buckowing, Call for Sun & News classified ads 269-945-9554 or 1-896-879-7985 ■ have “been doing an amazing job.” Buckowing said she hopes the move will be a sort of pat on the backs for the employees who who have consistently shown up and given their all at work. The township’s deputy treasurer will receive a rate increase of $1.52, bringing the rate to $18 an hour. The township’s office clerk also will get an increase, bringing her from $ 13 an hour to $ 15 ’ The changes will go into effect during the next pay period. Buckowing said the increases will not affect this year’s budget. The board also approved an additional purchase of up to $2,000 for new cardiopulmonaryresuscitation training mannequins for the fire department. A portion of those funds come directly from the recent pancake breakfast fundraiser staffed by the fire department. & i* r & 1 f u ■ ■ I 1 — Kellogg-Thornapple Delton Kellogg-Hastings sophomore Abby Marcukaitis climbs out of the pool after learning she has set team, pool and conference records in winning the 100-yard freestyle championship Saturday at the OK Rainbow Tier II Conference Meet at the CERC in Hastings.

Discussion regarding the bathroom's construction ini­ tiated during a Middleville Development Downtown Authority meeting. Weeks said board felt that with the upcoming installation of the amphitheater on the east side of the park, “it was very important that restrooms be installed to support band events." The Middleville DDA has committed to paying up to $100,000 of the bill, while rest of the funding will come from the village's general fund. In its commitment of the funds, the DDA requested that they be able to pay those funds in three-year gnimoo ini iwoH Josjoiq aoaos? r yd bo iv odj •1 .mift Park in Middleville. However, the cost of the project will be more than $50,000 higher than project­ ed by Williams and Works, the village’s engineering firm. Bids for the project ranged from $169,199, which was the accepted bid, to $269,086. Of the six bids, five were more than $200,000. The accepted bid was from Vander Kodde Construction, of Grand Rapids. According to village man­ ager Duane Weeks, the vil­ engineering lage’s engineering firm reviewed each bid and checked the credentials of Vander Kodde Construction. di ZBW avil oaoo soriT TobasV naiD to oooA jG 2 sgsl swoivoi bo^loor TsbnaV t •r iM Luke Froncheck Sra# Writer New public restrooms are coming to Sesquicentennial increments between 2020 and 2022. During the first year, it would pay 34 percent of the total amount and the next two years it would pay the two remaining 33 percent increments. The DDA board also agreed to pay any interest necessary, “We are legally required to charge interest that we may have received on those dollars,” Weeks said. Weeks also reported that the Barry-Roubaix bike race plans to bring its 100-mile route 1through Middleville April 18, 2020. The intent of the change was to keep the entirety of the race in Barry County. Weeks said he was told race organizers think the best place to cross M-37 is on West Main Street, at the traffic signal. Organizers expect the bikers will to ride through the village in groups of three to six between 9:30 and 11 a.m. The BarryRoubaix's website says the 100-mile “Psycho Killer" race is capped at 350 racers. The council also moved to review its budget for the 2020 fiscal year to the com­ mittee of a whole meeting Tuesday.

Exhaust-removal system planned at Caledonia fire station Greg Chandler Staff Writer The Caledonia Township Fire Department will have an exhaust-removal system installed early next year at the fire station. The township board recently approved a contract to purchase a system from MagneGrip Group, of Cincinnati, at a cost of $80,439. The department had a received Federal Emergency Management Agency grant of more than Small Business Saturday All Day on November 30 Middleville Lighting Contest Registrations Due November 50 Voting from Dec. 1-Dec. 14 MKP Reindeer Night Business n House 5:00pm on December 5 Holiday Market l:00p 0:00pm on December 14 Featuring Carriage Rides, Santa Claus, and More! $61,000 from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for the system earlier this fall. MagneGrip was actually the higher bidder of the two firms that responded to a request for proposals for the system. “There's only two vendors in the area that market these systems,” Fire Chief Scott Siler said. “They were both close in price. The problem is the other manufacturer ... didn’t quite meet the needs of what we were looking for. Their exhaust-removal systern required a lot more maintenance in the long run, and the engineering drawings that they bid on fell short of a few of the requirements of what we were lookingt? for." Hastings Air Energy Control, based in New Berlin. Wis., was the other bidder for the project, Siler said. MagneGrip's bid price included a “no loop" exhaust system that eliminates hoses hanging low from the ceil­ ing. “This will greatly reduce the likelihood of the hoses getting caught on the appara­ tus, and costly repairs to fix the system down the road," Siler said. An exhaust port will be opened up on a side of the building for the system to connect to. “We had the option to go through the roof or go through the side. After we just put quite a bit of money into the roof, 1 opted for them to spec it outside of the build­ ing,” Siler said. “Basically, all it’s doing is collecting the exhaust from the trucks when they start and blowing it out the side of the building.” The timeframe for receiv­ ing the system is expected to be three to four months, Siler said.

Saturday, November 30, 2019 Shooting rampage case bound over for trial Rebecca Pierce Editor Witnesses wept on the stand, and listeners wept in the gallery during two gruel­ ing days of testimony that described a murderous ram­ page by Jon Bumett, 63, in Orangeville Township June 21. In the space of a few hours that summer afternoon, Burnett's behavior cascaded out of control, his wife told Barry County Court Chief Judge William Doherty. After Bumett threatened her with her own pink handgun, she fled in her car. Doherty called the crimes a “rampage” and ordered Burnett to stand trial on 36 charges, including open mur­ der and kidnapping. A pre-trial hearing is set for 8:15 a.m. Dec. 19 before Judge Michael Schipper. Lynne Burnett, 59, of Plainwell, was the first of 15 witnesses to testify in the preliminary examination that began Friday, Two men died June 21 in Township: Orangeville Police said Gary L.

DeGood was slain before their eyes, Tracey Schisser, 46, of Delton, told the court. She and her 16-year-old son were going to see her parents when she stopped her car on Lewis Road at the intersec­ tion with Lindsey Road. She looked to the left and noticed two men walking toward them — a young man in the reflective vest of a worker in front of an older man. Something wasn’t right, she recalled, then she heard the gunshots. The young man fell forward, struggled back to his feet, his hands above his head, took another step and fell to the ground. Schisser said she was pan­ icked, thinking, O’ “Oh God what do 1 do?” Then the gun­ man shot him again in the back of the head then pointed the gun at them. “My son said, ‘Mom, we've got to go! Schisser said those words saved her life. She hit the gas pedal and they fled. Both Schisser and her son identified Burnett in the court, but Schisser said she did not see the gun in his hand. Her son, however, saw the distinctive pink and black pistol in Burnett’s hand after the young man, who police identified as DeGood, fell to the ground. “At first I was confused,” the teen testified, biting his lip. “Then I heard the shots and realized what was hap­ pening.” Then Burnett aimed at them. His mother was in shock, he said. “She froze She was frantic.” DeGood had blood on the right side of his face, the teen said, and his eyes were wide open. Burnett, the teen recalled, “looked really angry.” They called 911 as soon as they reached a safe distance from the intersection where they could get a signal on a cellphone. • Three young women, on their way to Hastings, were among the motorists who I Over 30 years experience • • • brucesframe.com I 11 Cl VI I 415 2nd Middleville L71V7V/VI VU High Efficiency RUUD FURNACE “ & AIR 11 IV stopped at the scene that day. Ashley Glumm said she was driving. Mallory Gray was one of two passengers. When they saw the body lying by the road, Gray and Glumm stopped and got out of the car. Glumm said she called 911 while Gray went to check for life signs. That's when they were approached by a man Glumm identified in court as Bumett. “He started walking up to us and I said, ‘Hey, it’s OK. We called 911.’ He told us he was a cop. I didn't think he was. Then he pointed a gun at us.” “He was very close,” Glumm told the judge. “I was scared for my life.” The 911 dispatcher had already urged her to leave the scene immediately, so she and Gray got back in the car. “In my rearview mirror, I saw him waving the gun.” Glumm described Burnett's expression during their encounter as “blank.'' Gray, in her testimony said she was focused on helping the man who was down on the ground. She said she has some knowledge of first aid, so she approached the man’s body and knelt beside him, to see if there was any movement and if he was breathing. She said did not touch him. Then she said she saw blood and brain matter from a severe injury to his head. Gray stopped then, visibly struggling to speak and continue her testimony. She said she could see the gun in Burnett’s hand, but, initially, she had thought he was com­ ing from across the street to help. When he told them he was a cop, “I thought that man was not a cop. ...He did not seem happy with us.” There was something about his stance that communicated, “if you do not leave, I will hurt you.” Then he raised the gun “in a swaying motion and said You need to leave. You need to go. He was 10 feet from her.

He heard shots and, when he came back through. the body was down on Lewis Road. “I turned around and came back northbound on Lindsey and parked about 20 feet from the intersection.” Geist got out to see if he could help and noticed a man sitting on a rock. During that encounter, with the man later identified as Bumett, he said. “I thought I was going to die.” As for DeGood’s body, “All I seen was blood. There was a lot of blood.” Nola and Gary Harps testi­ fied Monday that they were driving in theneighborhood on that beautiful sunny day on their way to see some friends, when a man they identified as Bumett “walked right up the center of Lewis Road and dropped something in the road. We had to go slow,” she said, so they wouldn't hit him. “Then I above his head. He was wearing a vest that indicated he worked for a tree service and a white hard hat. Wyatt turned his vehicle around and pulled up. on the wrong side of the road to check to see if there was anything he could do. He was so focused on the man's body, he didn’t pay much attention to the man he identified as Burnett, who was standing about six feet from him. “He said, ‘You don’t know what's going on here. You need to get out of here, He had the gun pointed at me." Wyatt said he couldn't believe it was happening. Meanwhile, his passenger, Harrison, was “freaking out.” Initially, Harrison had noticed Bumett was holding something in his hand and thought it was a cellphone. “1 didn't realize it was a gun. I thought he was going to shoot me in the face ” Wyatt and Harrison got away from Bumett, stopped down the road and started directing traffic away from the area to protect other motorists.

Amberia, 16, declined comment while Elizabeth, 14, celebrated with her friends and new family members elsewhere in the courtroom. “They’ll still be able to keep in contact,” Yost Johnson said. “We see it more than you think. I have a few right now I know we’re waiting for that to happen. A lot lot of of time time itit’’ss relatives relatives this this happens, with with but but in in this this happens, case, to have non-relative families come come in in and and be be able able families to adopt, it’s amazing.” One of the sad parts of foster care, she said, is that siblings are not always kept together. “We try our best not to have that happen, but it’s not always possible to find a family that will take large groups of children,” she said, “so this is wonderful.” The sisters weren’t the only two siblings getting a new family just in time for the holidays Friday. With the theme of “Giving Thanks for Families,” courts statewide are celebrating Adoption Month. Adoption Month has become a Thanksgiving holiday tradition, highlighting the importance of adoption and the needs of children in foster care, according according toto aa media media alert alert about aboutlast lastFriday Friday’s’sevent. event. “When we can bring attention attention toto adoption adoption day, day,”” Judge Judge Yost Yost Johnson Johnson said, said, “there might be somebody out there that’s thinking, you know, they want a family and maybe it can’t happen for them for some reason and they see this and go, ‘Wow, I could adopt.’ There are so many children waiting.” According to Shawn Culp, director of Calhoun County Department of Health and Human Services, about one third of the children in the foster care system are adopted by relatives.

And the remaining third are adopted by another unrelated family who has been connected with the child for adoption. “About 90 percent of children who are available for adoption qualify for financial assistance to help those adoptive families with some of the additional cost of bringing those children into their homes,” Culp said. Every year, he said, more than 2,000 children are adopted from the foster care system in Michigan. “But we still have about 300 [children] every year who still need permanent homes,” Culp said. “And, about 50 of those kids are in our area of southwestern Michigan.” Yost Johnson, who finalizes adoptions about three times a month, told the families Friday that they are a part of creating families. “It’s not about findin children for families,” she noted, “it’s about finding families for children.” She said she doesn’t consider children in the foster care and adoption system lucky if they are adopted. “Kids aren’t lucky for what they went through,” she said. “And, adoptive parents will often take issue with saying their adopted children are lucky. It’s not that they’re lucky, it’s that everyone in this part has found that missing piece. It’s about new beginnings, I like to say. Kids aren’t lucky to have gone through this long fate.” Each of the children adopted Friday was given a Teddy bear and balloons from Judge Yost Johnson and a special blanket or backpack from Chief Judge Melissa Pope of the Nottawaseppi Huron Band of Potawatomi Tribe at Creek Pine Reservation south of Battle Creek.

Ultimately, the pro­ posal was tabled by the board until the next meeting, but not before the proposal was discussed. Britnee Martin said she grew up in Orangeville Township and is a dog lover. She asked the board to con­ sider adding a dog park near the township offices by the playground, using some of the existing fence. Trustee Linda Ribble asked if Martin was proposing to have a large or small dog area. ' Martin said she wanted a large one, but is not sure how many people will use it. “I’m just asking for an enclosed area that people can go with their dogs and run them,” Martin told. board members. Clerk Mel Risner said she liked the proposal. “We have a lot of dogs that come to the township,” Risner said. “I think this is a very good idea to have them in a closed in area like that. I think that’s very positive.” Trustee Bob Perino asked Martin if she had a rough estimate of the cost. Between $5,400 and $5,600, Martin replied. “I’m proposing this now so hopefully for you to budA;et for next spring,” Martin said. The board agreed to revis­ it the topic during the next board meeting at which' Martin said she will present ‘ ‘ more information. Other business at the board meeting included a report from township fire chief Matt Ribble. The department responded to three fires, eight other good-intent calls, three calls cancelled en route and 16 medical calls during November, he said. A total of 917 hours were logged for the past six months. “This includes training and fire-related calls only,” i Ribble told the board. “This does not include any of the medical calls that we run.” He added that his current staff is at 24 out of 25, which is in the budget. Orangeville Township Community Outreach liaison Marlene Gregersen reported that the most recent canned food drive Nov. 23 brought in approximately two groeery carts full of food and paper products, plus cash donations. She said the next canned food drive will be today, Dec. 7, at Towne & Country Supermarket on Gun Lake and at the Walmart in Hastings, both from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Besides canned goods, the food drive includes paper products which Gregersen said is mostly toilet paper. “We try to give everyone a roll of toilet paper in the box or cash - whatever is easiest for people to donate,” she said.

Lakewood Lions Club President Bill Sutton said he * was a bit skeptical about the device, but quickly con­ vinced, when his fellow Lions Club member Pam Swiler showed him her Amazon Echo, and suggested it could help people in their area, “I felt like the program we were using before was out­ dated,” Swiler said. . The Sight Seer Radio Service provides audio of news and entertainment eared toward people with visual impairment, but Swiler said each item has to be read by a person. Alexa can read its owners’ ebooks out loud, or play podcasts and radio. In addition, it can carry on simple conversa­ tions. When Sutton decided to put the Alexa to the test, he asked it to play Mary Robbins’ 1959 hit song, “Bi Iron.” “Within two seconds, it was playing his favorite song,’’ Swiler said. “He was shocked.” Over the last two years, the Lakewood Lions Club has been buying Amazon Echos and installing them in peo­ ple’s homes. First, they have a consulta­ tion meeting to explain to the person and their caregiver how it works. They explain that certain functionalities will need an Amazon Prime subscription, and the Echo needs a smartphone to set it up. If the person wants an Echo, the club will buy it. (They cost around $100, but frequently go on sale.) Then they will either install it in the individual’s home or teach their caregiver how to install it. 4 I r\ .

Gilbert Crispin Noel is lodged in the Barry County Jail on a $500,000 bond after he was arraigned Monday in 56-B District Court. Noel was arrested at his home Nov. 27, one day after the robbery occurred. Barry County Sheriff’s Office investigators initially reported that a man walked into the bank shortly before 1 p.m. Nov. 27 and demanded cash from the tellers. He escaped in a gray sedan with an undisclosed amount of cash. It was the second holdup at the Middleville Chemical Bank branch in the past two years. A probable cause hearing has been scheduled for Wednesday, Dec. 11, before Judge William Doherty. ■ Gilbert Crispin Noel Safety Administration. With schools busy trans­ porting students in the county, drivers and pedestrians alike need to put their phones away and pay attention to their surroundings, Barry County Sheriff Dar Lear said. Here are some additional tips from the sheriff's office: If you drive your children to school: * Be sure to use the appro­ priate parent drop-off/pickup area. * Once at the school, please follow the instructions of the school's staff. Drive defensively. Always anticipate the possi­ bility that a small child may dart in front of your vehicle. Be prepared to stop at all times. * Slow down and watch out for school zones and children walking or biking to school or congregating near bus stops. Also, be alert for student drivers. * Remember that buses will be making frequent stops. It’s not only dangerous to students, but it’s against the law to pass a school bus while it’s stopped on the roadway picking up or dropping off students. * When turning at an inter­ section, be sure to yield to pedestrians and cyclists. * Stay out of the street while waiting for the bus and allow the bus to come to a complete before stop approaching the bus from the curb. * Make sure you remain in clear view of the bus driver. Never walk behind the bus. * Look both ways before getting on the bus and after getting off. * After getting off the bus, look both ways and then move immediately onto the sidewalk and out of traffic. Ifyou 're a student walking or biking to school: * For bike riders, wear a properly-fitted helmet at all times. A Also, riders should use a bike that's the right size for them and make sure that they don't have any loose cloth­ ing, drawstrings or shoelac­ es. * Bike riders should ride on the right, in the same direction as traffic, and use appropriate hand signals. Bicyclists also should respect traffic lights and stop signs. * Walk on sidewalks where available and always cross at intersections, * Eighteenth year of Teens Against Tobacco Use underway ■§ ‘J ‘^1 Ou » ■ mbsi ” * » aiinni sum atom: i r iff" 2 iBiiu t e I ■■■Kitom 1 > jjjlj * ••Jis* li«x I ^'1 i« I*0*' * j 1 at •£ llil<,# 11 r* g* 1 Another year of “tobacco-free” education began Wednesday, Dec. 4, with the annual Barry County Teens Against Tobacco Use training. Nearly 70 high school students from five Barry County high schools participated in the day-long training to help them become TATU leaders and teams. The 18th annual TATU training was hosted by YMCA Camp Algonquin and involved students from Delton Kellogg, Hastings, Lakewood, Maple Valley and Thomapple Kellogg. Teens Against Tobacco Use is a prevention program developed by the American Lung Association. The program began in Barry County in 2002 and has grown over the years. TATU facilitators Emily Churchard-Godfrey, Hannah Napolillo, Bree Gladstone, Lauren Metcalfe and Liz Lenz, prevention staff and volunteers with Barry County Community Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services and the Barry County Tobacco Reduction Coalition, led the training. Now that training is com­ plete, the teen leaders will form TATU teams back at their schools and put together their own positive and interinter­ active presentations on the importance of of being being tobacco tobacco importance and and nicotine-free. nicotine-free.

The training and the upcoming presentations are designed to be fun, interac- tive and educational and to focus on making healthy decisions. High school students and fourth-graders learn about the harmful chemicals in cigarette smoke and vaping aerosols, the health problems associated with tobacco and nicotine, the cost of smoking, and the impact of nicotine on blood vessels, as well as many other activities.

Workman also reminded commissioners that the pro­ posed special use fits the present commercial zoning of the property, and appealed to them to “be fair, be equal and be consistent” in their determination. Alex Schelling, a real estate development associate with Casey’s, says the Middleville location fits the company's niche of locating stores in smaller markets. He says 60 percent of the com­ pany’s stores are in commu­ nities with populations of 5,000 people or less. “You’ve got a community that would be considered a bedroom community, but you also have got a lot of manufacturing in your community with very little food options,” Schelling said.

The village planning com­ mission Tuesday approved a special land use for Most Holy Rosary Catholic Church to operate the school at 314 E. Main St. The school would serve students in kindergar­ ten through the eighth grade, with no more than 35 stu­ dents enrolled. “We will be using our existing facilities, (with) no new construction? said Fr. Jeremy Saunders, the church’s assistant pastor. The school would operate three days a week, with par­ ents serving as teachers. The school day would run from 8:15 a.m. to 3:45 p.m., Saunders said. There has been interest for some time among parents who attend Most Holy Rosary in creating a school for their children. “Our families are looking to have a school that supports their values,” Saunders said. Thornapple Kellogg Schools used the church for classroom space in the early TOWER, continued from page 1 ‘tower. “I, personally, - and- I ithink some other board mem­ bers want it done by the set of ordinances that we enforce this with.” Sherwood, Rob ^nerwoou, a Michwave customer, said the service is needed because other alternatives for internet by the proper set of rules, and I don’t see that here,” Commissioner Stan Bosscher said. “I look at this drawing and I’m still confused.

The property is zoned single-family residential, but schools are allowed as a spe­ cial land use, village plan­ ning and zoning administra­ tor Brian Urquhart said. As a condition of their approval, commissioners requested that the church provide written verification to the village that they had state approval to operate a school. “If the state approves you J we’re fine with it,” planning commission member and vil­ lage Trustee Mike Cramer said.

The Fighting Scots varsity wrestling team opens the 2019-20 season at the Hamilton Quad Wednesday. The Hawkeyes are always tough, and Caledonia head coach Roger Singleton expects his wrestlers to get to go up against the Lakewood boys who come into the sea­ son ranked sixth in the state in Division 3. “They always have a tough team and we should see where we stand right out of the gate,” Singleton said. Singleton is in his seventh season leading the program after five as an assistant coach. Finally, he has some depth in the program. There are 30 wrestlers working in the wrestling room to prep for the upcoming season, including what coach Singleton calls a good fresh­ man class. The group of 30 is headed by six guys who have been regional qualifiers, including two-time state placer Bryce Briggs and former state med­ alist Owen Norman. Briggs returns at 189 pounds and Norman at 130. Briggs was 41-7 a year ago and is the only Scot returning who wrestled at Ford Field at the end of the 2018-19 season. Norman was a state medalist as a freshman, but came up just shy of a return trip to the finals as a sophomore. He was 35-11 a year ago at 119 pounds.

Caledonia graduated eight seniors from its roster a year ago, and now its a new group of girls’ turn to fight its way through the OK Red Conference slate. The Scots do bring back a few seniors, a crew led by senior guard/forward Abby Mitchell and senior forward Madison Morris. There were four freshmen on the Scots’ JV roster a year ago, and some youngsters are ready to perform at the varsi­ ty level. One of those girls, sophomore forward Morgan Babb, was the Scots' leading scorer in their season opener at Spring Lake Tuesday pumping in 18 points. Sophomores Brinlee Barry and Elie Thelen are up on the varsity with her this season as well. Mitchell had 13 points and Morris 12 in the Scots' 48-38 win over the Lakers. Caledonia’s senior group this season also includes Kristie Weninger and Makayla Bouma. The Caledonia girls shut down the Lakers in the fourth quarter to earn the dou­ ble-digit win, holding them to just five points in the final eight minutes. Spring Lake only scored 14 points in the whole second half. Taking care of the basket­ ball a little better could have even boosted the Scots’ lead. Abbigail Perkins and Phoebe Saunders had 11 points each for the Lakers. < •> J 1 Li & a • 2 ◄ V *• . Madison Morris Caledonia had just two victories a year ago, splitting its series with Grandville for its lone OK Red Conference victory, The OK Red Conference will be tough again. East Kentwood, Rockford, Hudsonville and Grand Haven all have strong pieces returning from a year ago. The Fighting Scots were scheduled to visit Gull Lake last night. They will be at home against Wayland Tuesday and against Byron Center Friday. The OK Red Conference schedule does not start until January. The Scots also have road trips to Covenant Christian (Dec. 17), South Christian (Dec. 20) and Thomapple Kellogg (Jan. 7) before the confer­ ence slate begins. A Talented bigs return for TK’s new hoops coach Brett Bremer Sports Editor Josh Thaler has spent ten years in the Thornapple Kellogg basketball program and now he is getting the chance to take over as the varsity boys’ head coach this winter. He doesn't have an easy task in front of him. The Trojan team has just two seniors this winter, Nate Jansma and Carson Brummel. Jansma is an outstanding leader for the team, but Brummel suffered an injury during football season that will keep him off the court this winter. The Trojan team is not void of varsity level experi­ ence though as the team brings back junior guard/forward Cole Shoobridge, for­ ward Austin VanElst and junior guard Nolan Daley. Shoobridge and VanElst are a dynamic duo for the Trojans, combining size, length and athleticism and the ability to be factors on the perimeter and in the paint. Shoobridge averaged 9.4 points and 8.6 rebounds per game on the varsity as a sophomore. VanElst aver­ aged 9 points and 7.5 rebounds a game. Coach Thaler is encour­ aged by what he has seen from their junior classmates who are new to the varsity level as well. He calls it a well-balanced junior class that includes guards Alex Bonnema and Carter Stahl and post players Levi VanderHeide and Kaiden Pratt. “Growing up a Trojan and I fl $ i* J a ft Xj . 4 > •I? 0® Austin VanElst now coaching for the past nine years in the program, I am thrilled and honored to become the new leader of the TK boys’ basketball family,” Thaler said. “The program will continue to focus on encouraging and developin the greatest potential of each student-athlete in our pro­ gram .” The Trojans’ goals for the winter are to be competitive in the OK Gold Conference and to make a run in districts, The OK Gold Conference will be stacked again, with South Christian and Grand Rapids Christian especially tough on the top end. The Trojans open their season at home against Holland Christian Tuesday and then will travel to Hastings for the Battle of Barry County Friday where their contest against the Saxons will conclude the tri­ ple-header that starts with a varsity wrestling dual at 4 p.m. and then the varsity girls’ basketball contest before the boystake the floor. issto H.'

Hockey is about more than size though. “We are a young team so we have to play hard and we have to play smart to have success because we aren’t going to out muscle very many teams,” LCTK head coach Phil Wendecker said in the lead-up to his second season leading the program. After back-to-back state quarterfinal appearances the LCTK team reached the regional final round of the state tournament a year ago. A group of ten guys from Lowell, Caledonia and Middleville graduated from the program in the spring, and the team has just five seniors on the roster this winter. That group is led by senior defender Dominic Huber and senior forward Wade Fridley. Junior forward Austin Douma is another key returnee. Senior goalkeeper Tommy Near and junior goalie Garrett Walker will fill the hole left in net by graduation. The team also :returns sophomore ' defense ~ ­ man Owen Carpenter. Wendecker is hoping for good contributions from a group of varsity newcomers that mat includes junior forward Nick Lockhart, sophomore sopho­ forward Dylan Olsen, sophomore forward Drew Klomparens, freshman forward Alex Skibinski, junior defenseman Christian Smith and freshman defenseman Zach Schneider. “Our biggest strengths are our team speed and our mindset,” coach Wendecker said. “Our biggest assets are our minds. We have a group of kids who have completely bought in to a team first mentality and are pushing each other and challenging each other to improve every day. It’s an exciting thing to watch.” The LCTK team is 1-2 so far this season. The skaters defeated Northview 5-0 in their season opener against Northview at Kentwood Ice Arena Nov. 22, but then fell at Jenison 7-2 the following afternoon. Reeths Puffer edged the LCTK skaters 3-0 in Muskegon Nov. 30. Douma and Klomparens had two goals each in the season-opening win over Northview. Fridley notched three assists. Olsen also scored for LCTK, with Smith adding two assists and Lockhart one. Near saved all 32 Wildcat shots that came his way. The team is on the road taking on Negaunee and Petoskey this weekend before getting back to the Grand Rapids Area Dec. 13 and 14 for contests with Forest Hills Northern/ Eastern and Forest Hills Central at Patteson Ice Center next weekend, The match-ups with the two Forest Hills teams will be the first Baum Division contests of the season for LCTK.

Trojans set to compete for a top spot in OK Gold standings again A Brett Bremer Sports Editor The 2018-19 Thomapple Kellogg varsity girls'basketball season was certainly one to build on. The Trojans finished right at .500 for the season, earning 11 victories including one big win over Otsego in the district tournament. Maybe even more exciting than that, the Trojans were 8-4 in the OK Gold Conference which put them in second place overall in the final conference standings behind the league champions from East Grand Rapids. TK doesn’t have the size in the middle this winter that it has had in recent seasons but the Trojans’ defense can still be a thorn in the side of their opponents and there aren't many defenders who can slow down Trojan junior guard/forward Paige VanStee. VanStee was named first team all-conference as a sophomore in the OK Gold last season. She averaged 13.1 points, 10.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 3.5 steals and 1.2 blocked shots per game, leading the Trojans in points, 9 । j k f I rebounds and steals. Claudia Wilkinson, a senior guard, returns for the Trojans as well this winter after averaging just shy of 10 points per game a year ago and earning honorable mention all-conference honors in the OK Gold. She is at least as good on defense as she is on offense, combining length and speed to be a key part of the Trojans’ D.

The girls are working hard every day to be a little better than the day before.” TK opened its season with a win over Grandville Tuesday. The Trojans will host Holland Christian Tuesday and then head to Hastings for the Battle of Barry County Friday, The OK Gold Conference season doesn’t start until Jan. 10 when the Trojans play host to Wayland. The Wildcats opened their season Tuesday with a double-digit win over the Hastings girls. “East Grand Rapids is the returning conference cham­ pion and will be extremely tough and probably one of the best teams in the area,” Lambitz said. “The overall depth of the league makes it extremely difficult as well in that any team can beat any other team on any given night.” The December schedule for the TK girls includes trips to Byron Center and Zeeland East and then they return from the holiday break at Caledonia Jan. 7. r Call 269-945-9554 for Sun & News classified ads �* The Sun and News, Saturday, December 7, 2019/ Page 15 I * 5 15 Barry-Roubaix registration field expands, but still filling quickly Greg Chandler gone from there.

Most ’t ready Most cities cities aren aren't ready for recreational shops. Ann Arbor is currently the only city with a dispensary that was able to open its doors to recreational users on Dec. 1. And a flood of new stores won't be popping up on street corners, observers said. Despite voters approving the adult-use marijuana law ll last year with about 56 percent of the vote, more than 1,400 of the state’s nearly 1,800 communities have voted to bar recreational marijuana facilities in their communities. Many communities that are allowing these businesses are doing so on a small scale as they work through licensing and application issues. Lansing, for instance, is allowing them, but placed a cap onthe numbers of growers, dispensaries ­ ” ’ and’ micro ’ businesses. The city hasn’t yet started accepting applications for those coveted spots, which further delays local dispensa­ ries opening their doors to adult-use customers. Mains, the marijuana attorney, said many smaller communities are watching how bigger cities like Lansing handle licensing “before reallymaking a decision.” Others, like the city of Detroit, have opted out altogether for the short term while officials consider how to shape local ordinances. “There's always learning and growing inside a new industry like this,” Hams said. . �* Page 16/The Sun and News, Saturday, December 7, 2019 TK victory sealed with long three and free throws Brett Bremer Sports Editor Any butterflies were long gone 29 and a half minutes into Tuesday’s varsity girls’ basketball season opener between Thomapple Kellogg and Grandville in Middleville. Thomapple Kellogg senior guard Corrin Replogle took a pass from junior teammate Paige VanStee in transition a few feet behind the threepoint line and let a shot fly. Her three-pointer, account­ ing for her only three points of the evening, stretched a one-point Trojan lead to four, induced a Grandville timeout and and drew smiles and high fives at the Trojan bench. TK went on to a 40-33 victory over the visiting Bulldogs. “I have all the confidence in the world in her,” TK head coach Ross Lambitz said of Replogle. “The way she caught it she stepped into it. It wasn't fading away. Here feet were set. She just stepped into it and she shot it with confidence. That is all I can ask of any of my girls. I trust them all to step up and take shots when they have them open like that. “She is a senior leader, she stepped up and made a huge shot.

The House Wednesday voted 55-53 in favor of Senate Bill 455, which would expand tax breaks for Sw itch Inc., which operates a datastorage facility in the pyramid-shaped building formerly headquarters for office furniture manufacturer Steelcase in Gaines Township, to include real and personal property at the site, The building houses servers for other companies to support their computer networks.

Robbins said. Township residents who live in the Wayland school district would have to approve a millage - currently al just under 1.37 mills - to support the Henika library. That election could take place as soon as next sum mer. If the township were to join the library district, it would gain two seats on the library board, which consists of eight members. Robbins said. ” Jt «• significant. “That’s because then we have input into what books gel bought, what services get offered and so forth.” Robbins said. “If we have ideas, they take those ideas under consider­ ation.’* Henika had previously blocked Yankee Springs Township’s efforts to become part of its library district because of a misinterpreta­ tion of state law regarding who can be part of a library district. Henika officials had read the law to mean an entire township had to join a library district, but Robbins found that the actual lan­ guage supported allowing a portion of a township become part of a library district. About 34 percent of Yankee Springs residents live in the Wayland school dis­ trict, according to the resolu­ tion. Township Supervisor Mark Englerth praised Robbins for her efforts to get Yankee Springs included in the library district. “A lot of people have struggled, and a lot of people have failed and given up on this. This lady has moved the ball further than it's been moved before." Englerth said.

She said she is excited about the book project and is hoping it “encourages other people to think of ways to give back to the community.” Angela Jefferson, who has been principal at Lee for nine years, agreed that giv­ ing back to the community is NIGHTHAWK GRILLE & BAR New Years Eve important and a life lesson. “It also helps our stu­ dents see the power of giving and thinking beyond yourself, which is certainly what the Book Angel has done for us,’ she said. The classic “Charlotte’s Web” was given to Woods’ class in September. “With ‘Charlotte’s Web,’ some had seen the movie, while others didn’t know the story,” Woods said. “’Charlotte’s Web' is a story of friendship and life on a farm, which kids can relate to. It teaches the lessons of kindness, friendship, and love.” She added that vocabulary in the book gave her opportunities to teach students new words and for them to visualize the story. This month, Danielle Nowinsky’s third-graders and Deb Tomko’s sec­ ond-graders were given the book “Ramona Quimby Age 8,” which is a family favorite of the Book Angel, Jefferson said. The kids could not wait to start reading it,” she said. “Literacy is such an important part of what we do at Lee and this experience makes it extra special,” Jefferson said. “We feel so 44 I ' I I B® J $ IjS .’S’® ^0 Olivia Biek enjoys reading «Charlotte>s Web» received from the Book Angel (Photos provided by TK schools) students' faces when they receive the books. Some may think perusing through the pages of a book is a thing of the past, but Jefferson disagreed. “Our students love hand­ held books. Although e-readers and other electronic devices are wonderful and allow for easy access to a variety of material as well as quick differentiation of read­ ing levels, there is still some­ thing special about holding a book in your hands and flip­ ping the pages,” she said. “There is also a unique sense of accomplishment when handheld book to electronic print.” Woods said she prefers a real book. “It is impoilant for kids to be exposed to differ­ ent types of reading. I think kids gain a lot from both reading tools.” ; Other books have been distributed to classrooms, including Ethan Barnes’ sec­ ond-graders who have been provided with “Mysteries According to Humphrey.” The third grade class was given the book “Esperanza Rising.” “Our Book Angel is giv­ ing our kids a wonderful gift 'M �I K I z I 9 1 The Sun and News.

The Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund board Thursday voted to recom­ mend the state award a $200,000 grant toward devel­ opment of the shooting range on more than 12 acres of land on the south side of M-179. just east of Peets Road in Rutland Charter Township. It’s the first step in getting state funding for the project, according to Lori Burford, a shooting range specialist for the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. “The Legislature has to approve the funding for us,” Burford said. “Typically, that happens in early spring.” But Burford says the trust fund board’s recommenda­ tion means the DNR can start the design process for the new range, which would replace a secluded 3-acre site in the game area off Yankee Springs Road, north of M-179. The process would incorporate sound abatement, standardized range guide­ lines and specifications that meet the Americans With Disabilities Act. The trust fund grant would leverage another $600,000 in federal funds that have been collected under the PittmanRobertson Act. That’s an 82-year-old law that provides funding for projects that restore and improve wildlife habitat, as well as for development and operation of pub­ lie shooting ranges and hunt­ er education programs, said Randy Heinze, a wildlife biologist at the DNR regional office in Yankee Springs Township, “It’s going to be a great investment in Barry County, and it’s going to be a great resource for people to come out and shoot safely,” Heinze said. Funds for the PittmanRobertson Act comes from a federal excise tax on sporting arms, ammunition, archery equipment and handguns. The U.S. Department of the Interior collects the funds from manufacturers and dis­ tributes them to states and territories each year. The total cost of the new shooting range has been estimated at about $800,000. If all goes according to plan, the new range could open by late fall of next year. Heinze said. Some issues have been raised about safety of the current shooting range. Several subdivisions have been built north of the range in recent years, and several homes have been hit by stray Barry County bullets, Commissioner Vivian Conner said at a county committee of the whole meeting last month, The new range has gener­ ated support from the county board as well as Yankee Springs and Rutland townships. Yankee Springs Supervisor Mark Englerth shared the news of the trust fund board’s action at Red Cross in Middleville Wednesday I 4 I The American Red Cross will be in Middleville from noon to 4:45 p.m. for a blood drive hosted by UAW 1002, Bradford White at 285 Washington St. Donors receive a mini­ health screening to help determine eligibility that includes blood pressure, pulse and hemoglobin read- ings. First-time donors will also find out their blood type soon after donating. The donation process takes about an hour. Anyone who is 17 or older, weighs a minimum of 110 pounds, is in reasonably good health and has not donated for 56 days is eligible, All blood types are need- ed, and the need for type O blood is critical. Prospective donors may simply stop in or make appointments using the Red Cross Blood Donor App, registering online at redcrossblood.org or by calling 800RED RED CROSS CROSS (1-800-733(1-800-7332767) Thursday's township board meeting. “This is huge,” Englerth said. Burford said having the support of the local govern­ mental units was key in getting the grant approved, ‘We re excited to have that local support. We're excited to get this new site developed.” she said. The trust fund's board action Thursday was part of $25.6 million in grant awards for outdoor recreation devel­ opment and land acquisition projects projects across across the the state. state. AA total of of$14.1 $14.1 million million will will go go total to land acquisition projects and $11.5 $11.5 million million to to recrerecreand ation projects. The board considered requests for 160 projects statewide, totaling nearly $54 million in funding. “The Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund is crit­ ical in providing people of all ages and abilities with more and better opportunities to experience our state’s w'oods. water and outdoor heritage.” Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said in a news release. “Every year, millions of residents and visitors sw'im our lakes. hike our forests, bike our trails and connect with the outdoors in dozens of other ways. Trust fund support, this year and every year, ensures that those experiences are here for current and future generations.” The Natural Resources Trust Fund is a restricted fund established in 1976 to support land conservation and outdoor recreation. It's financed through interest earned on funds derived from the development of publicly owned minerals such as oil and natural gas. Throughout its history, the fund has granted more than $1.1 billion to state and local units of gov­ ernment to develop and improve public outdoor rec­ reation opportunities in all 83 Michigan counties.

M-43 Highway, Hastings, Ml 49058 Caledonia, KISD settle with Switch in tax dispute Greg Chandler Staff Writer Caledonia Community Schools and the Kent Intermediate School District have resolved a dispute with a technology infrastructure company over tax revenues collected from its facility in Gaines Township. The Caledonia Board of Education Monday approved an agreement with Switch Ltd. through which the company will make an annual payment in lieu of taxes to make up for the loss of personal property taxes that would be exempted from collection under current legislation. As part of the agreement, Caledonia schools and KISD will drop their opposition to Senate Bill 455, which would expand tax exemptions for Switch’s facility in the pyramid-shaped building that once housed office furniture giant Steelcase Inc. to include real and personal property at the site. In return, Switch will drop its request before the Michigan Tax Tribunal that the district pay back more than $613,000 in tax revenues. “We’ve come to an agreement that we can both live with,” Caledonia district finance director Sara DeVries said.

Dr. Dedrick Martin confirmed Thursday that he had signed the agreement, alon with Kent ISD Superintendent Ronald Caniff and Adam Kramer, Switch’s executive vice president of strategy. “Switch is agreeing to pay a minimum [payment], based on a 10 percent increase in real property tax value,” DeVries said. “If they don’t grow by 10 percent, they will send a payment in lieu of taxes for the difference. It’s going to guarantee we will receive a minimum [payment] of our debt [retirement] levy.” Switch had contended it did not have to pay real and personal property taxes for 20 years under a 2015 agreement with the Michigan Development Economic Develooment Corporation in which the company agreed to invest nearly $152 million to open the data storage center on 60th Street. The company had filed a request with the tax tribunal in which it sought a refund of tax revenues related to school-bonded debt, enhancement millages and sinking fund millages, As part of that agreement, the company does not pay taxes on school operating millage. Caledonia schools had received $447,762 in tax revenue from Switch to date, and is expected to receive another $163,325 from the company by February 2020, DeVries said. The state House voted 55-53 in favor of Senate Bill 455 Dec. 11, ii, despite opposition from 86th District state Rep. Thomas Albert, R-Lowell, whose district includes Caledonia Community Schools. Albert the measure a called “corporate giveaway” and said it would “set a dangerous precedent for allowing legislative carve-outs to certain businesses.” The state Senate, which originally passed the measure this past fall on a 27-11 vote, must agree to language changes made in the House before sending it to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer for her signature. DeVries said should the governor veto the legislation, the agreement would be cancelled. / “If Senate Bill 455 does not go through, the agreement becomes void, and we go back to collecting on real and personal property, as it stands now,” DeVries said. Several statewide education organizations have voiced opposition to Senate Bill 455, including the Michigan Association of School Boards and the Education Michigan Association.

Double murder case set for trial Scott Harmsen Contributing Writer A Plainwell man facing open murder and kidnapping charges appeared in Barry County Circuit Court Wednesday for a pre-trial hearing before Judge Michael Schipper. Jon Burnett, 63, is sched­ uled for an April 20 trial on 36 counts ranging from felo­ nious assault to kidnapping. Prosecutor Julie Nakfoor Pratt said she was consider­ ing changing the two charges of open murder to first-de­ gree murder. Gary L. Peake, 73, of Plainwell, was shot six times, and Bryce Nathan DeGood, 21, of Haslett, was shot in the head in what testimony indi­ cated was an execution-style slaying. First-degree charges would require a finding of intent. But Pratt said these charges could be part of pos­ sible plea offer. “Although counsel may not consider this a plea offer,” she said, “I still think it’s important to say that I have indicated to counsel I [ A 1 naqo taiuoD nruori qqrrioZ not fl bsiu uoodE > eirorn BO1C1 2 IIbYI tfio gm oqo lo V" wnisH rto.is / 03JB0 garble aiiH biuow Jnatni o Iq sldiz tlA“ Ion 1 mi i svsrl I’m not willing to come up to first-degree murder at this time - unless something indicates change, “I know they don’t neces­ sarily consider that an offer, although I do. So I just want to make sure that’s on the record. We’ve discussed two counts of first-degree mur­ der.” “Mrs. Pratt’s correct: We don’t consider that a plea Shane McNeill, offer,” Burnett’s attorney, replied. Schipper said he expected several motions to be filed in the case before trial, including a possible motiion to sever the cases involving Peake and DeGood. The judge said the dead­ line for the motions is Feb. 26 so he has time to study them before a March 18 hearing date — no exceptions. “If I get it on the 27th, it won’t count,” he said.

Crawford talked about how much screen time is appro* pnate Sometimes, he said. teens use their phones to listen to music or play video games as a way of relaxing and getting away from stress for a while. »• That's OK? he said, “but you have to look at how much time you are spending online. Is it the best use of your time?” During the high school presentation, he also warned against looking at or sending sexually explicit photos and images. Crawford warned teens what they write and post and share can have an impact on their lives. He told about at least 10 high school raduates who were accepted into Harvard University, only to have their admission denied later because of inap­ propriate social media con­ tent. “Employers and schools will look at your social media presence, and what you have posted can make a big differ encc.” he said. Crawford also reminded students that just because someone posts what appears to be perfect pictures of themselves, vacations, and their lives, it doesn't mean it’s all real or true. *• You can have thousands of friends online, but teel alone in a full room because no one really knows you " he M said said “You’ve built a false identity online to be popular, but it's not really you." The internet has provided a wealth of accessibility, but with accessibility comes opportunities for foolish decisions. “I'm asking you to open your eyes and sec w hat we re really doing ” he said.

By then it was too late at Wednesday night Kentwood Ice Arena though. Grand Rapids Christian took a 4-0 lead in just over 12 minutes and then held on for a 6-4 OK Conference Baum Division victory. Christian scored a minute and a half into the contest on a quick counter attack from Isaiah Clark, and then added a similar goal by Ashton Bol a minute and a half after that. Corbin Venckus raced in on LCTK goalkeeper Tommy Near to score a third goal in transition with 8:31 to play in the opening period. The Eagles upped their lead to 4-0 when Benj Bultema trickled a shot past Near from a tough angle with 4:55 to play in that first period. A quick goal by LCTK Isaac Hautala, 20 seconds after Bultema’s score, on a one-timer in front of the net off a pass from teammate Andrew Davis gave their team a little bit of hope. Christian Smith then inched the LCTK boys closer with a shot from the top of the left circle off a face-off that beat the Eagle keeper to make it 4-2 with 41.2 seconds left in the period. Ryan Kieliszewski assisted on Smith's goal. LCTK eventually battled to within one goal at 5-4 by the end of the second period, making things much easier on their keeper by limiting the Eagles’ break-away chances.

Englerth, Jansma, Clerk Jan Lippert and Trustee Shanon Vandenberg voted in favor of purchasing the lights. Trustee Larry Knowles was the lone dissenting vote. children. “We're going to do our job, whether they do theirs or not,” Englerth said, adding that he has tried for more than a year to convince park management to contribute toward the cost of the lights.

She applied for a job at Pharmacy Care in Middleville and was hired. “I wanted something to do a couple of days a week, manager, said. “She waits on all the customers, with smiles at all times.

As a result, he was denied a basic right, they said. A Miranda Warning advis­ es a suspect of his right to remain silent and that anything he says can and will be used against him in court, Suspects also must be advised that they have a right to an attorney and, if they cannot afford one, an attor­ ney will be provided for them, An audiotape from the dashboard camera of sher­ iff’s deputy Erb was played for the judge Monday after­ noon and, in that recording, Burnett tells police that “my buddy is dead next door.’’ Burnett, often unintelligible, cries and moans, “Oh God, I don’t know what is wrong with me.” Then, according to police testimony, Burnett took police to the body in Peake’s house. Pratt argued that Burnett’s statements to police were spontaneous and did not come as the result of any interrogation by police, McNeill and Storrs argued that the police had the burden to advise Burnett of his core rights. The remedy for not doing so is suppression of the statements that he made at the time of his arrest. Doherty listened to the arguments from both prose­ cutor and defense attorneys and replied that this matter would more appropriately be dealt with at the circuit court level prior to trial.

The township board Wednesday gave the fire department permission to seek ways to donate its old extrication tools to other public safety departments. The measure, which had been proposed by Fire Chief Scott Siler to the township public safety committee earlier this month, was S>< NN nN ' $ % « approved unanimously. “It all works, but it’s much older/ said Trustee Greg Zoller, the board’s representative on the public safety committee, The hydraulic tools became expendable when the township earlier this fall spent $41,500 out of its reserves to purchase four battery-powered cutting, spreading and ramming tools allow first that will responders to rescue people trapped in vehicles after crashes. Siler said the department had to take a portable generator on a call in the past to provide power to the old equipment. While the old extrication tools are almost 30 years old, he said, they have been well­ maintained and still work. “My goal is to find a rural fire department that does not have extrication equipment, or that theirs is not working properly, and give them the opportunity to rescue individuals in need,”’’ Siler said. “When the equipment fails or ceases to operate, they can dispose of it as they see fit." The fire department had traditionally disposed of retired equipment through an auction, but given the nature of the equipment. Siler said he doubted whether the township would gain much from its sale. He said most likely any potential buyer ------would have bought the equipment to part out the motor and hydraulic components. Township Supervisor Bryan Harrison commended the department for recommending the donation, “As long as there's no cost to us as far as overtime or mileage, I agree it's a good practice,” Harrison said, HOLIDAY HOURS: jrr\ Cuuntvs ()riginal BBQ Mon, Dec. 23 Closed (Catering Only) Tues, Dec. 24 Closed (Catering Only) Wed, Dec. 25 Closed id • I • BROKEN ^SMOKER Southern & Catering; SOME OF THE FINEST OLD SCHOOL BBQ IN WESTERN MICHIGAN ■ BRISKET ■ PULLEE PORK ■ ■ MONSTER BABY BACK RIBS ■ Mon: Closed Tue: 11am-7pm 120 E.

There were big swings Friday night, but the biggest one was early as the Caledonia varsity boys’ bas­ ketball team built an 18-point first half lead and then went on to a 63-54 victory over visiting Byron Center Friday (Dec. 13). 99 need some extra joy Witvoet said. “One year, our custodian had fallen off his roof and was home recover­ ing, and another year our secretary was home recover­ ing from surgery. We have visited different neighbor­ hoods to carol, and we arrive with candles and our choir scarves After singing, the choir then heads to Wildwood Farms to be hosted by the Heyboer family, whose three children sang in the Voices choir as students at Kettle Lake. There they enjoyed hot chocolate and holiday trees, Witvoet said. The choir has received a great response from its carol ing over the years, she said. “Caroling is a tradition that we want to continue. It brings joy and a human con­ nection that we don't want to lose,” Witvoet said. “The looks on the faces of the neighbors who opened their doors to us gave us joy as well. It is a quick interaction but a joyful and heartfelt moment at each house.” 9 I9 Spreading the joy for the holidays, students from Caledonia s Kettle Lake Elementary sing at a home in the Listening Valley subdivision. Greg ( handler Staff Writer It’s a tradition at Kettle Lake Elementary School in Caledonia. Students who are part of the school s Voices choir go out into the commu­ nity during the holidays to go caroling. Earlier this week, the 68-member choir went into the Listening Valley neigh­ borhood, where many Kettle Lake students live, to spread Christmas cheer through song. Die tradition began seven years ago, after the unexpect­ ed death of longtime Kettle Lake principal Chris Warren. Laura Witvoet, the music teacher and choir director at Kettle Lake, took the choir to Warren’s house to sing to his wife, Pat. “After that, every year we included her and also looked for other people who might nihi ivta h 1 isfti lit Scots win one of two at Red/White crossover 5510 North M-37, Middleville, Ml M I Open Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays 10AM to 4PM Like us on FB I > I 9 9 » ’ * J < • 4 I f 1 9 iZ 9 9 I * 9 < 9 9 t « 1 » 4 « t 9 1 * 4 4 i t 4 I 9 4 i 1 «• • 0 Caledonia got pins from Noah Hanna, Ethan Knapp and Norman in the dual with Forest Hills Central.

Brett Bremer Sports Editor Freshmen provided more than their fair of excitement, but it was a senior who strode out of the locker room with the Battle of Barry County trophy clutched in his arms at Hastings High School Friday night. The Thomapple Kellogg varsity boys’ basketball team finished off the Trojans' fourth championship in four years at the Battle of Barry County by scoring a 65-58 victory over the host Saxons Friday. The TK boys' basket­ ball victory followed a 37-30 win by the TK girls' basket­ ball team and a 52-18 win by the TK wrestling team in the annual varsity triple-header between the Trojans and Saxons. TK also came out on top jn the student-section competition, with wins in the girls’ tug-of-war, the mascot scooter race, the sleeping bag chariot race and a sumo wrestling competition. The Saxons' lone victory of the evening came in the boys' tug-of-war. Nate Jansma, one of the captains on the TK varsity boys’ basketball team and one of the leaders of the Trozone spirit section any time it is a classmates' turn on the court, held the trophy IM2I2 8196 Broadmoor Ave. SE Caledonia.

(Photo by Brett Bremer) at the end of the night after being in the center of the celebration with his class­ mates immediately followin the Trojan victory, “He started the last game and tonight we started Alex (Bonnema). I wanted to get (Jansma) in early,” TK head coach Josh Thaler said. “Alex really was playing well defensively and offensively taking care of the bas­ ketball. I kind of turned to (Jansma) and said ‘sorry, I was going to get you in during this first quarter,’ and he said, ‘no, team first.’ “All the guys realize, he is one of our captains. He acts like if on the floor and off the floor and every time in between, offseason and in-season. The one senior we have, he is acting like a senior.” A pair of TK alumni earned their first varsity coaching wins for the Trojans - Thaler and varsity wres­ tling coach Dayne Fletke. Fletke led a Trojan wrestling team that sent six fresh­ men to the mat against the Saxons. Zackary Gibson, Jackson Curtis, Kyron Zoet, Austin Chivis and Jake Middleton were the fresh­ men who won their first var­ sity wrestling match for TK Friday.

Another freshman, the Saxons’ Macy Winegar, was one of the stars of the varsity girls’ basketball game goin 6-of-8 from behind the threepoint line and leading all scorers with 21 points in a losing effort. The Saxon student section was more than ready for Winegar’s performance with “FOR 3!!!” signs spread throughout the section. In a late addition to the event, most of the Saxon and Trojan student-sections donned purpie, rather than orange and black or blue and gold, in honor of TK junior Lydia Cole who represents both communities on the Delton Kello g-Thornapple varsity Kellogg-Hastings girls' swimming and diving team. The prognosis for Cole’s recover from cancer took a turn for the worse in recent weeks, but she contin ues to battle as doctors search for new treatments. The girls' basketball game was the tightest of the three varsity competitions on the evening. With its three-point barrage, the Hastings team had a lead of as many as nine points late in the first half, The Saxons went into the break up seven, but TK went on a 7-0 run in the first five minutes of the second half to pull even. A three-pointer by Winegar pushed the Saxon lead back to 28-23 early in the fourth quarter, but TK closed out the game on a t I• ■ Continued next page ■Mill » X b ■ Fl K Ou ’’K.. 4 » i * *1 4 - » 4 I k �The Sun and News, Saturday.

As a result, we did not sub as deep into our bench as we would like to. When we got into the fourth quarter, play­ ing with a smaller line-up impacted our players as fatigue set in, which led to us not rebounding as well as we had been.” TK took its first lead since the opening minutes of the game,30-28,on athree-pointer by junior forward Haven Beyer with 5:49 to go in the fourth quarter. A Saxon turn­ over followed, and Beyer was fired up to earn a trip to the free throw line where she knocked down two shots to extend her team’s lead to four a minute later. “It feels really good. Hastings is such a big game for us, our whole team is so proud of each other for get­ ting through this,” Beyer said. “Even though we were down in the first half we pulled it together and we just played as a team in the second half ona naii. ... “1I was verv excited (hitwas vciy cAvncu ting the go-ahead three),” she added. “I kind of screamed, ‘let’s go!’ It was very excit­ ing for me to get those points that were huge points for our team to get us into the lead.” Paige guard Junior VanStee led TK with 15 points, scoring seven in the fourth quarter. Beyer had five points and Carmen Beemer and Gracie DeWent had four each for TK. Josey Nickels had four points for Hastings and Carly Warner had five. Winegar hit five of her six three-pointers in the first half. TK head coach Ross Lambitz said he warned his girls before the contest of Winegar’s Shooting talents,, but thought maybe a few times girls took for granted that they were close enough to her when they weren’t really close enough, He was pleased with the work Claudia Wilkinson, Corrin Replogle, Gracie DeWent and Mo Sprague did of face-guarding Winegar in the second half. The Saxons were trying to do the same thing to VanStee on the other end of the floor, and did a good job of pester­ ing her once she tried to get to the basket. Eventually, the Trojan junior broke through. The entire team’s work around the basket on the boards was what really sal­ vaged the evening for the TK girls. “They really crashed hard and kept it high and went and tried to finish as best they could after,” Lambitz said. “That was big, just making a lot of those little plays and getting towards the rim not settling for shots and trying to get stuff going towards the rim I think made a big difference for us in the second half.” • It was a back-and-forth varsity boys’basketball ■51 ame as well, at least until back-toback three-pointers by Thomapple Kellogg junior back-court mates mates Cole back-court Cole Shoobridge Shoobridge and Nolan Nolan ui j .

The Trojans had an 11-point lead early in the second quarter, but Hastings battled all the way back to lead by as many as five points in the third. “It was a fun one,” coach Thaler said. “I’m happy for the guys.

However, you have personal inflection points, too - and when they occur, you’ll need to make the right financial moves. Here are four of the most important of these inflection points, along with suggestions on dealing with them: • • Marriage - When you get married, you and your spouse will need to discuss a varjety of financial issues: welcome a newr child into your family, you’ll need to make sure you have adequate life insurance. You’ll also want to review the beneficiary designations on any existing insurance policies, as well as on your IRA and 401(k). And if you can afford it, you may want to start contributing to a college fund, possibly using a 529 savings plan, which can provide you with tax advantages you put money away for your child's higher education. • Divorce It’s unfortunate, but true: prettyr is Divorce still common, and it’s neither pleasant nor cheap. You might not be able to avoid some of the costs, such as lawyers’bills, but if you and your ex-spouse can work together amicably, you both may be able to avoid serious financial disruptions. You’ll need to work out how to divide your financial assets, paying attention to attention beneficiary designations, which which you you may maywell wellneed needtoto change. Also, as a newly single individual, you may need to review and revise your long-term investment strategy to accommodate changes in your goals and your retirement income. • Retirement - By the time you retire, you will have hopefully been investing in your IRA and 401 (k) or other retirement plan for several decades. But once you do retire, you’ll need to determine how much you can afford to withdraw each year from your various retirement accounts. Your withdrawal rate will depend on your age, your asset level and your retirement lifestyle. And you'll also want to consider other issues: Are you prepared to deal with health care costs? Even with Medicare, these costs may be higher than they were when you were working. And how about your estate plans? Are they up to date? Have you protected your family from the possibility of your estate going through the time-consuming, expensive and public process of probate? You may need to work with your financial, tax and legal advisors to develop an effective estate strategy. making By smart decisions following your own inflection points, you can ease the transitions in your life - wherever life takes you.

Junior center Evan Eastman powered the Saxons early on and finished with a team-high 17 points. He had eight of the Saxons' first 16 points. “We said at halftime, we said at every timeout, we have got to get the ball in the post more, work it inside-out. Eastman is a pretty good passer. He didn't need to tonight.” Hastings head coach Rich Long said. “He was going to work on the post, especially when VanElst had four fouls.** Hastings also got 14 points from senior guard Elijah Smith and ten from junior guard Kirby Beck. Thaler said his team’s defense was especially focused on Beck after he scored 22 in the Battle for Barry County a year ago. Carter Cappon had nine points, going five-offive at the free throw line. Coach Long thought his team had a few turnovers that he could chalk up to it being the Saxons’ first game of the season. A lack of varsity experi­ ence didn't slow down the TK wrestlers much Friday.

Here are a few of the highlights of the past year in the community. Historic hometown hero Local historian Ken Gackler was named Caledonia’s Hometown Hero for the year. Gackler. 86. is the great-grandson of George Geib, who was one of Caledonia's first settlers in the early 1870s. His father, Ray, operated a grocery store downtown for 25 years. Ken Gackler taught at Caledonia Elementary School for 18 years, was scoutmaster for a local Boy Scout troop, and launched the first cable television franchise in Caledonia in 1982. He also was active in the creation of a history room at the Kent District Library Caledonia branch when the library was built in 2011. He recently completed a four- booklet series depicting the history of the Thornapple Valley Pioneer Association, a social organization that existed from the 1880s to the 1940s, mostly consisting of people whose families had been among the early settlers. Because of the honor, Gackler participated in the annual Independence Day parade in Caledonia.

The hands-on lesson includes the cost of production, profit and loss margins and finding ways to keep overhead costs low enough to be profitable. Sometimes, students opt for a project where the profit is measured only in gratitude of the rece ivers. “I think it's good forthem to give back to the schools in some way," Melvin said. This year, six students made 33 crayon holders all nearly al) of them personalized with the name of the elementary teacher engraved in the wood with two TK Trojan heads on either side, Using a drill press, students bore out seven large holes in the top of the holder for organizing crayons, markers, pencils or other classroom supplies, Before Thanksgiving, the high schoolers loaded up their finished products and delivered them to teachers at McFall, the kindergarten and first grade building, “It was a great thing for them to do this for the elementary' teachers,” said ------------- : — l^auren Heth, who is using her holder to store markers. Jessica Thaler said her students were excited when the delivery was made. My students were so excited. They all thought it was really great. The high school students did such a good job making these," said Thaler, whose holder was filled with clothespins. markers, pens and other items, This isn't the first time the woods production class has given back to the district. Last year, a group of high 44 school students made and sold Christmas ornaments. They took the project a step farther by making enough ornaments for one classroom at McFall and then helping the younger students assemble and decorate the holiday treasures to take home and adorn their own trees. For several years, the woods classes also have made wooden rocking toys and given them away to families in the community. Nearly 300 wooden toys 1have --------’* J out* of - ------1 rolled the woods class assembly and into the homes of eager young children over the years. Melvin said he believes it is important for students not only to learn about how to make items in the woods classes, but also to use their talents to give back to others. It was pretty cool when we delivered the holders, TKSH student Augustine Abshagen said. The kids were happy, and we even got hugs from some of them.

Michael Gower is joined by his wife, Kelli; son, Alexander; and Homes for Our Troops Executive Director Bill Ivey as the family cuts the ribbon on their new home in July. After several weeks of deliberation, the Middleville DDA board voted to move the former farmer’s market hours from mornings to evenings Fridays in the summer and rename it Market on Main. development authority approved major changes to the village’s summertime market, including new name and hours. The Market on Main, as the market will now be known, will be Fridays from 3 to 7 p.m. The new hours had been recommended as a way to draw more people to the market. An online survey of nearly 230 found a respondents significant number of people didn’t o to the market because they were working during the former market hours of 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. Fridays. Only 13 percent of respondents favored keeping the hours as is. Not everyone is thrilled with the changes. Several vendors said they likely would not return to the market and questioned whether the market would be able to attract any produce vendors. DDA board member Mike Lytle, who founded the 15 market years ago, proposed taking taking over over the the proposed market himself for one year at at no no cost cost to to see see if if he he could could make the the previous previous hours hours make work, work, but but the the DDA DDA board board opted to go with the changes. The board also approved disbanding the market master position and transferred responsibilities to the DDA director.

Veneklasen Inc. for property owned by the village at 112 E. Main St. The property is located between the village hall and Champs Bar and Grill. A J. Veneklasen was one of three companies that submitted request for qualification forms to the village. The developer is envisioning a three-story building with 3,000 square feet of commercial space on the main floor and 10 apartments on the second and third floors. The property had been identified as a priority location for development by the village and Redevelopment Ready Communities Services Team. In addition to the planned mixed-use of commercial and residential, the project also could include a pathway and a rain garden. The project is expected to cost about $2.9 million, and A J. Veneklasen is looking into the possibility of state grants to help fund a portion of the project. Groundbreaking is expected in the fall of 2020 with project completion in 2021. General store in limbo A proposal was presented for a new gas station and convenience store at the southwest comer of M-37 and Main Street. Justin Workman, who owns the property, wants to build a Casey's General Store on the property and is seeking a special land use for the site. However, the proposal generated opposition in the community and from Thomapple Kellogg Schools. School superintendent Rob Blitchok said the new station would pose additional safety risks to students who cross that intersection. The district currently advises students to avoid crossing E near the Shell station on Main opposite the proposed Casey’s site. The village council is awaiting a traffic analysis from the Michigan Department of Transportation for the site before deciding whether to approve the special land use request. DNR approves recreation projects Two projects in the Middleville area are slated to receive a combined $550,000 in fundin through the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund next year. The trust fund board has recommended approval of a $350,000 grant to acquire 26 acres of property for connecting the north end of the Paul Henry Thomapple Trail in Middleville with the south end of Kent County’s Paul Henry Trail system in Caledonia Township, and $200,000 to be used toward development of a Department of Natural Resources shooting range on more than 12 acres of land on M-179, just east of Peets Road, in Rutland Charter Township. State lawmakers still have to approve the funding, which is expected early next year. The property to be acquired for the trail project miles of includes 2.5 abandoned rail bed, which will serve as the connector between the two existing segments. The state would acquire four parcels of property, totaling 24.75 acres of fee-simple acquisition and 1.25 acres of easement. According to a DNR news release, the bulk of the properly is natural wildlife habitat, including 300 feet of frontage on the Thomapple River that would be ideal for a canoe launch. It also includes a 130-foot railroad trestle over the Thomapple River. The trust fund board's recommendation means the DNR can begin the design process for the new shooting range, which would replace a secluded 3-acre site in the Barry State Game Area off Yankee Springs Road, north of M-179. The process would incorporate sound abatement, standardized range guidelines and specifications that meet the Americans with Disabilities Act. Curtis bankruptcy petition rejected In late January, a federal judge in Grand Rapids rejected a bankruptcy petition filed by the ex-wife of Middleville native and former Major League outfielder Chad Curtis. U.S. Bankruptcy Judge John Gregg wrote that Candace Curtis'’ petition was an Curtis attempt to evade collection proceedings stemming from lawsuits filed by four former Lake wood High School student-athletes who were sexually assaulted by Chad Curtis, who was a volunteer weight room coach at the school. Candace Curtis filed the bankruptcy petition the same day a U.S. District Court judge recommended she be made a party to the judgment. Chad Curtis, a Middleville native who played 10 seasons in the majors for six teams, including the Detroit Tigers, is serving a 7- to 14-year prison sentence for the assaults. Home for a hero Retired U.S. Army Sgt. Michael Gower in July received the keys to his new home in Middleville, which had been built by the nonprofit organization Homes for Our Troops. Gower was critically injured in 2007 in Baghdad, Iraq, when the vehicle he was in rolled over after striking an improvised explosive device, killing several of his fellow soldiers and injuring eight others. Gower uses a wheelchair when he is not walking with his prosthetic legs, His new home is specially-equipped to accommodate his physical challenges. Bike path narrowed, roundabout out The village council voted to move forward with street improvements on East Main Street from Grand Rapids Street to Irving Road. That stretch is in need of a street resurfacing and sanitary sewer repair. Initial plans called for a 10-foot-wide bike path along the south side of the road, but that was later deleted from the project, cutting the estimated project cost from in excess of $332,000 to more than $243,000. A 5-foot-wide sidewalk will be put in place on the south side and sections of the existing sidewalk on the north side of the street would be upgraded.

Saskatoon fire and expansion A Sept. 12 fire destroyed the maintenance building at Saskatoon Golf Club in Caledonia Township. More than 30 firefighters from six departments responded to the early morning blaze, which appeared to have started in an area where mowers and other maintenance equipment were stored. Construction on a new maintenance building got underway not long after the fire. The golf club also broke ground this year on a 5,300-square-foot event center to host large-scale outings and got approval from the township to add a new 9-hole course to the 36 holes it already had.
